u.n. special envoy christine tshwane a burden to brief the security council on the increasingly bloody military crackdown since the general seize power in a coup 2 months ago the army has also launched air strikes against a rebel group raising fears of a return to ethnic conflict our diplomatic editor james bays is at the united nations in the past the security council has released 2 statements about the situation in myanmar but the generals defied those words and there was further violence this time no statement the outgoing president of the security council for march the u.s. ambassador linda thomas greenfield spoke to reporters. it's the credibility of the security council at stake. i don't think our credibility is at stake i think what has to happen is we have to redouble our efforts what the military is doing in burma to the people to the people of burma the violence the attacks the killings of

children they are appalling and and they are unacceptable so we can't just. step back and allow this to happen we have to keep pushing forward in the close in the council was briefed by the u.n. special envoy christine trauner bergan she still wants to travel to me and marta speak to the generals she said i will remain open to dialogue and continue to signal this but if we wait only for when they are ready to talk the ground situation will only worsen a bloodbath is imminent this council must consider potentially significant action but the chinese ambassador said what he called one sided action or calling for sanctions would only aggravate tensions a similar position was relayed by russia and so for now any tougher action by the security council seems highly unlikely. well as the military crackdown goes on some of us and protesters are joining groups to train with their fighters they're

border patrol said if not for the vigilance of our agents using mobile technology these 2 tender age siblings would have been exposed to the harsh elements of the desert environment for hours we're currently working with our law enforcement partners in mexico and attempting to identify these ruthless human smugglers where mike hanna joins us live now from washington d.c. mike so what more can you tell us about this extraordinary pictures of smugglers dropping unaccompanied children over the border fence well certainly is and it's a stark reality of the problem at the border that the pilot in that ministration is attempting to confront those 2 girls 3 and 5 year old are now in the care of customs and border patrol officers it's not sure how long they'll be in that care whether attempts are going to be made to find their parents which would appear on the other side of the border but the customs and border patrol pointing out that

they were dropped at an area very far away from any human habitation and if that not being picked up on those camera monitors they would have been exposed to the elements overnight a customs and border patrol got there very quickly they have been in medically evaluated they are said to be in good health but they are now joining some 800000 and the company children who are now in the care of the u.s. government this number is expected to increase throughout the spring to as many as 150000 by september so the problem facing the biden that ministration is enormous indeed mike as we're talking to you we're just replaying those pictures again i mean they are extraordinary i mean as you were alluding to earlier on this all plays into that bigger political problem that that biden is having over immigration and those detention centers at the border. indeed yes

some in the administration are saying it's something that his administration as imperative it's also pointed out by many observers that there has not been an increase in the number of people attempting to cross the border since the administration change this is largely a seasonal issue particularly in the spring when the numbers historically continue to rise but part of the problem facing the biden administration is how to move children from the care of the customs and border patrol officers who are not equipped to deal with them into the health and human services branch who are better equipped to deal with unaccompanied minors now this is an issue that the administration has admitted it is having major problems with for a number of reasons not least the ongoing pandemic but this is the area that they are looking at as a short term solution to be able to provide better care to unaccompanied children who are taken on the u.s. side of the border and certainly to remove the conditions that they are being held

in only 2 days ago cameras were allowed into one of the customs and border patrol posts and the footage was pretty horrific in terms of the conditions that unaccompanied children are living in the administration as a 1st step is attempting to address this to move greater numbers into the care of health and human services but as you say this is far more than just attempting to deal with an immediate problem it is a whole issue of immigration how much you allow how much you try to prevent and the same time how you protect those children such as the 2 that you saw in that footage in the last few minutes or a to my kind of life for us there in washington d.c. mike thank you. time for a short break here now just iraq when we come back a verdict looms for a group of hong kong pro-democracy activists charged for their role in the 29th protest and as brazil's covered 19 outbreak grows more dire its president insists there's still a need for new restrictions more of that stay with us. it's
