a looming armed struggle in the southeast of the country thousands of men women and children remain displaced their mothers huge military has been launching air and ground attacks against the armed group qur'an national liberation army ants there are warnings that other rebel groups may soon be joining forces for what they call a revolution if security forces don't stop killing unarmed protesters there are at least 6 ethnic armed groups who have now threatened to retaliate against the jinsa a korean national liberation army as one of memories older stand largest rebel groups and they control areas in the southeast of the country the arak an army is facing for autonomy in western rakhine states 3 other groups control territory in the east from the shan state army in the south to the town national liberation army and myanmar national democratic alliance army in the far north the christian independence army has also spoken out against the jinsa and has reportedly attacked

police and military posts in recent days and in miramar cities peaceful demonstrations against last month's could have been held in yangon protesters continue to demand a return to democracy despite 8 weeks of cracked by security forces and they've been calling on the international community to act against the giants and do more than condemn the violence a local rights groups say at least 521 people have been killed and more than 2600 are detained there in the coming hours the u.n. security council will hold a closed door meeting on the situation in myanmar we'll hear from our diplomats cancer james bays in a moment but 1st let's go live to scott highclere who's monitoring developments in myanmar from neighboring thailand scott on the face of this this appears to be a significant escalation a year how seriously should people take these calls for revolution by myanmar's

armed ethnic groups. oh i think it should be looked at pretty seriously because we're kind of entering territory potentially and entering territory you know a lot of what's what we're hearing now from these ethnic groups as you said they are looking to join forces potentially and go against the tatmadaw the military in myanmar now it's by safe potential because it hasn't happened just yet the escalation that we're seeing are these aerial bombardments that happened over the weekend against the kitchen national union area that they control just across the border from here in thailand to me and mar that was what we saw as an escalation there were thousands about 3000 people who who fled across here into thailand who had hiked through the jungle most of them to come here to seek refuge and or medical attention about 550 have remained here in thailand the rest have gone back

there's a bit of a controversy around that because some human rights groups say that thailand authorities pushed them back across the river that separates the 2 nations at that point and but the military here is saying authorities here are saying that they went back because the situation was safe on the other side but what they have said after that the prime minister came out late on tuesday and said that if the situation escalates in myanmar yes they will help people escape dangerous situation when you look at as you're seeing the overall situation so that is something that has escalated we have seen other attacks on military outposts and police outpost throughout the country in the north and then again in this eastern area now this is it needs to be said this kind of attack on these outposts happens a lot obviously there's a great deal of focus on it now because what's happening in myanmar but when you look at what has escalated these airstrikes and what that could lead to that is the big concern but right now what we're seeing is is the army's these ethnic army

saying that they want to you know if it comes to it they will come together and fight against. tatmadaw or so again we're kind of getting down that way but right now it's just kind of a wait and see but particularly in that area where those aerial bombardments happened because they can you has said that they also have intelligence or physical evidence that there are some tatmadaw troops on the way to them so there could be a confrontation there they're warning about that and that's the one area to really keep a close eye on and keep a cool sight we shall meanwhile scott's the elected leader aung san suu kyi she said it's a here in courts to more rule what more do we know about this. well yeah this is a court hearing and i'll be done via video link you know we've had a couple of hearings a couple of delayed hearings since february 1st there are multiple of charges against her now we know that the 2 original ones seem pretty innocuous considering

what later charges are accusations have been leveled against her the person was illegally possessing walkie talkie radios breaching covert 1000 restrictions while she was campaigning for the election back in november and then now over the last couple of weeks or 2 press conferences where the judge to has accused her of bribery so with this meeting with this hearing i should say hopefully they'll be a little bit more clarity about that we're hearing from her legal team today there was a video link meeting and they said that she's in good health and that obviously she's very she said she was very happy and thankful for all the support she's been getting but that hearing will take place on thursday again they're meant to delays so hoping that there will actually be some movement on these cases tomorrow on thursday ok scott hides out there across all the details from bangkok scott thank you. well here's a tip from james bay he's the king at what's expect from the u.n. security council meeting taking place later in the day. the security council has

already issued 2 strong statements on the situation in myanmar but they've been ignored and the voluntas and killing has continued in the streets the secretary general of the united nations antonio good terrace in recent days has issued fresh condemnation and has called for united international action. we need more unity in the international community with more commitment than general community to put pressure in order to make sure that the situation is reversed what's your message to the generals right now. my message to the military is very simple stop the killings stop the repression of the demonstrations really is the political prisoners and return power to those that have the receipt of their rights to exercise it. saturday was the day with the highest death toll yet at least 114 people killed in 24 hours. saturday was

also myanmar's armed forces day an event attended by representatives of 3 members of the security council china russia and vietnam all of which have a degree of leverage over the generals but russia's deputy ambassador to the u.n. told reporters his country is reluctant to consider further action including sanctions we as you know russia is not big down on sanctions russia is not the units that matters and again i say that there is a lot of controversy in there is it being willing young we made me see it one way but the reality is on the ground might be a little bit different and then you know i. everybody would be quite cautious because we there is a very thin line. between. condemning and blaming it on the inciting war in general well during the meeting the security council will be briefed by christine fran a burgen to the u.n. envoy for me on mars she wants to visit the region and to visit the country itself

but so far she has not been granted permission. although speak her with daniel again today he's a senior lecturer in international law at the university of or haven't sent him was formally based on young gong 220142018 he joins us now by skype from london it's great to have you with us on the news hour let's talk about these armed groups how likely would you say it is that they could unites say take on the military jinsa because if they have this common goal and have been active for so long why haven't they joined forces before now. well 1st of all that you know what you've described in the buildup to the interview here is nothing new for these minority groups and the armed groups that represent them. many of these conflicts have been going on for 60 years they're just not in the news regularly what is different is this idea that unifying all the different minority armed groups and the fact that we're even

discussing this is really a testament to the failure of the region and international community to ensure accountability this is a military that operates with impunity and has done so since the that and since then since its independence a sense since the military has been in in control of the of the government so that it's a real failure to hold anyone accountable accountable do you think these armed groups would be capable then it's of taking on the military i mean is this call for unity in revolution likely to any kind of change in tact from the military. well again day to day as our readers have been facing the military for many years and generation so i don't to get capable of defending them so it was but the really it's unknown what is going to happen in this situation that that really the last

hope for people on the ground in me m.r. is unification of various military militias and groups is that is a really it's a tells you that desperate situation on the ground in the country but these armed groups and forgive me i'm not an expert on this but they've been fighting their own battles they haven't been offering to come together and fight one at common enemy does that represent any kind of a game changer or is this just a shell sights of desperation. well you know like i said i'm sure that these are discussions that are going on right now i think that what what is happening is that everyone in the country is now facing this brutal regime that a military characterized by atrocities and they are deciding that maybe this is a moment to come together and have a kind of final showdown but that you're dealing with a military that is a real military armed by you know international arms traders and dealers and

countries. a centralized large scale military with hundreds of thousands of soldiers it's not something that will be easily beaten in a conflict and at the national level but if if we're going to deal with that situation you're talking about potential for regional instability other countries being drawn in refugee flows it's really at a point where you have. a regional response is required and we don't see anything forthcoming and given the situation that you've outlined for us but what kind of impact say you anticipate seeing this tire more oil will have on the civilian populations within me and my i mean it's you're you're dealing with a situation now where we may have to return to complete isolation and a potential of a failed state and you know a failed state between india and china and some of these days in

a very strategically important place. it it is it is the it is exactly what human rights and international legal accountability activists both in the country and internationally have been warning about for most of my life if a troubling situation indeed daniella gary thank you so much for joining us on the nice hour and sharing your expertise and analysis appreciate it thank you. there's plenty more ahead on this news hour including emotional testimony heard at the trial of joy georgia for its killing from an off duty firefighter he says she repeatedly offered 1st aid but was denied it's. frustrated. and airballs saddam's military chiefs all resigned after the brazilian president

sacks the defense minister and a cabinet over the whole us will have the sport she tennis ball from the one stays on course for another title when we'll have more with fara later in the challenge. yemen's heathy rebels have rejected a leaks u.n. report suggesting that they are behind an attack on aden airports at least 20 people were killed including a politician well the reports in the security council says the missiles used were similar to those in the hoofy arsenal and were fired from areas under their control rebels say any findings without an independent committee are biased and lack credibility. for the attack on eaton airport was seen as an escalation in the 6 years of war it's members of president are a bahu monsour hearties government the attack happens as they were landing to meet

you we backed southern separatists after formally unity government denies involvement simply in the attack on science the facts groups the side he led coalition responds to the attacks with airstrikes on the controlled camp on that we think control capital sana the following day fades in airports attack also prompts and then u.s. secretary of state might compel you to designate who sees as a foreign terrorist organization that decision was reversed by the current administration hussein. is a pro who feed journalists and he can star is from the accuracy of the leaked findings this is still not. reported released by the united nations still some leaks released by the way that is done by some of our website that's why we can take it as a fact but as muhammad ali. said yesterday that any conclusion or any report that come from the united nations security council with say without any independent.

committee to verify those the result is they rejected on as well he said any facts that. are visible. as he said field based he said they cannot be actually to through all for a fight i just want to add that after that the attack on the border just maybe 3 to 5 days and united arab emirate with side based in the united states called a cat he have released this a report as it is could be based there but to be honest who is actually will benefit from the attack against the government of the so-called legitimacy of heidi is only the united arab emirates just days ago united arab emirates support $30700.00 have actually kicked out the government that's why they are actually the only one who are responsible benefit for this attack.

tunisia where heavy gunfire was heard near the presidential palace in the early hours of wednesday that's just 2 days before president elects mohammed swearing in ceremony. while gunfire can clearly be hairs and this video from witnesses in the capital me army details are not yet known and the government hasn't commented jets share has a history of military coups and the struggled with instability from attacks beyond groups such as boucle her own addresses in a butcher in neighboring nigeria he says local reports suggest an attempted coup. a lot of people in egypt believe that it was an attempted military coup that has been pulled down the incident started actually around 3 o'clock local time around 2 g.m.t. and by 3 am local time 30 g.m.t. local time everything went quiet now what every 2 years whether it's a military coup or not it looks like things have been wrapped up for now things are

calm from the reports we're receiving from and yet made these attacks or this incident happened 2 days before mohamed. use of mohamed bows out of office and he said mohamed for my tutor mr 44 former foreign minister whose election by the way is marked by violence by stupid resistance by the. community which held power for a very long time in the general public shortly after he was declared we know that election in the 2nd round there was violence across in them a the capital targeting light skinned out ups and tourists who had businesses running across the country and now that incident is snowballing into some form of resistance as you may be facing is not only the insurgency out only its border areas with nigerian egypt and burkina faso nigeria mali and birkenau fossil but

also the internal resistance he will face from those who had held power in that country for a very long time for much of its 60 years as an independent country in the. investigators in indonesia have recovered the cockpit voice recorder of a jets that crashed into the java sea in january the boeing 737 belonging to air went and shortly after takeoff in heavy rain from jakarta all 62 people on board were killed officials say it could take up to a week to listen to the recording which may provide clues about what caused the crash jesca washington joins us now live from jakarta jessica it's not been 3 months since this crash happens why is it taken so long to recover this voice recorder. it wasn't a straightforward process we were there as the cockpit voice recorder was brought back to jakarta and we could sense the relief on the part of those involved in the

search operation because there were a number of complications to begin with the cockpit voice recorder would normally have a beacon which provides a signal and the casing around the recorder itself but in this instance those 2 components were found much earlier than finding the actual memory recorder itself what that means is that earth already has had to resort to a manual search meaning that they didn't have any sort of signal to provide any exact location of this this device and in addition as you mentioned this crash happened in the midst of heavy rain during the peak of jakarta's monsoon season that meant there was a strong current heavy rains and a deluge of mud on the seabed off the job to see where the search was being conducted as a result authorities had to resort to what they described as a sort of vacuum technology to suck up the bulk of the mud and debris from that seabed and then they were able to retrieve this cockpit voice recorder so it was a long and complicated process but we could sense the relief that they were finally

able to find this recorder ok just to washington and bring us the latest from jakarta thank you jessica. ascended to libya and up $120.00 prisoners loyal to eastern warlord for the for have to are being released by the new unity government it's not an official prisoners it's being seen more as a gesture of goodwill let's get more from china is live for us in misrata. tell us about this gesture of goodwill why is it taking place night. when this new interim unity government came into power they were tasked with a few things one was to unify state institutions 2nd was to lead the country until elections can take nationwide elections can take place later on this year in december there are also tasked with leading a reconciliation initiative so this like you said is a symbol of goodwill so libyans can turn the page start brand new and move towards

bringing the country together after years of divisions and moving towards elections now it's important to note that for for these specific this is over $100.00 fighters loyal to. when they went after launched his military campaign on tripoli these fighters who were loyal to him came into the city of zawiya from the south they took over a checkpoint when they met some resistance they surrendered peacefully so they're believed to not have committed any crimes or or or or or been responsible for the deaths of civilians so it's a it's an easy move for this unity government to take to to start this reconciliation initiative now we're in the city of misrata now misrata as a powerful source of military military power in western libya here reconciliation isn't going to be as easy as

a city officials over $750.00 men died when have to launch his military campaign also in cities for instance and in the city of tire who are after have to use force in. retreated from western libya the reports of mass graves that emerged there are over 330 people civilians missing from the city of there who know they're believed to be in these mass graves so the families of those that lost loved ones are saying that we want justice we want justice to be served in order before any reconciliation process can begin so for this specific case i think it was an easy move they're not respond to those that were released weren't responsible for any crimes but in other places of the country the new unity government is going to have a hard time bringing libyans together so we're going to have to wait and see what kind of reconsideration process or serious reconciliation process this unity government can lead before elections in december ok malik trainer there life from

misrata thank you malik international donors have pledged 6400000000 dollars in humanitarian aid to help syria fell short of a u.n. target and had been hoping to raise 10000000000 the city to a conference in brussels the need for aid has increased during the pandemic which has compounded the syrian economy's problems. now there were emotional testimonies on the 2nd day of the trial against a former police officer who's charged with killing george floyd's in the us city of minneapolis a teenager and a child were among those he spoke off camera because of their ages the court heard witnesses describe how they tried to intervene and became increasingly angry as they demanded derrick show and take his knee of george floyd's neck john hendren has more. as he watched derek show vanilla and george floyd's increasingly lifeless

calling for a new international inquiry into china it wasn't an investigation at all a 2 week study tour with very limited access to records ambles and personnel is not an entire waste it is not even remotely close to the kind of 0 and unrestricted international forensic investigation which we need the u.s. and other countries have signed joint statement raising concerns about the report w.h.o. director general at 100 gay priests has issued his strongest criticism of china to date saying it was difficult to access and will hand lab leak theory required more extensive assessment the w.h.o. said they never expected the mission to produce a definitive answer about the origin of carbon 19 and the 2nd phase of research is required but as international criticism builds of the china's role in the study
