we begin in myanmar where there are reports of security forces using lethal force against protesters once again at least 8 people are believed to have been killed during a raid in the town of kalak that's in the northwest security forces reportedly stormed a protest camp there using heavy weapons against civilians for more than 2 months now people in myanmar have defied a brutal crackdown by security forces to call for democracy more than 580 people have now been killed since the military seized power from elected leaders in a crew back in february while a near total internet shutdown is making it tougher to verify those reports of civilian casualties scott heide reports from bangkok in neighboring thailand. because of this bloody crackdown that we've seen right across myanmar over the last

several weeks against these protest gatherings as well as the civil disobedience movement that is because they've been starting very earlier the protesters and obviously the security forces are responding to that to those early morning even predawn sometimes marches so that's probably what we're seeing why the military and the security forces went out so very early and stage this raid in cali now this is an area right along the western border close to the western border with india kind of the northwestern section of myanmar yes we're hearing that several have been killed these are from local media as well as posts on social media that's pretty much the only way you can really get information out of myanmar right now one thing that's even more disturbing about this is that there are there is evidence at least again on social media and local media reporting that there is evidence from some of the wounds by some of those protesters that r.p.g. were used as rocket propelled grenades now these are this shows a uptick in the weaponry used by these security forces so that's very concerning

that you have yet to be confirmed but some local media saying that there are wounds consistent with the shrapnel that these r.p.g. s. are spread out once they're detonated. now iran's president has hailed progress in these latest efforts to revive the 2050 nuclear deal has a new honey has called tuesday's talks in vienna a new success for his government to work if the set up to discuss the possible lifting of u.s. sanctions as well as terror on 3 new commitment to the deal also on tuesday though an iranian ship was attacked in the red sea near the coast of djibouti it's still unclear who was responsible back has more now from tehran. where the foreign ministry has been speaking this morning that they've said that this was a logistical support ship used as a base in the red sea and the gulf of aden so it's there to secure shipping lanes and carry out anti piracy measures that's according to the foreign ministry and state t.v. have said that the service raney and ship belongs to the iranian navy and

a mine was attached to it now we know that this ship has been in the red sea for a number of years in fact the u.s. naval institute in 2020 in the report said that it was a covert military ship used by the revolutionary guard now iran denies that saudi arabia have repeatedly criticized its presence in the red sea and some officials under the trumpet ministration accused this ship of being used in aiding. in yemen but there are some in iran who feel that this latest attack against a ship that is used by the military is an attempt to sabotage those nuclear those talks in vienna on the nuclear program president hassan rouhani was speaking a cabinet meeting this morning he said that it was a success he boasted about his government's handling of the economy over the last 2 to 3 years in the face of sanctions and what he called an economic war but the context for this is that they are presidential elections set to take place in june

their actions have reached a plateau it seems but that's haven't started applying so it seems like we are still in for about 2 more weeks of increasing deaths. some symmetries have been holding nighttime burials to deal with the growing numbers brazil's death toll of 337000 sick and only to the united states you know what what we want we should have had stricter laws like in some other countries it would have been hard for people at that time but we would have had a much lower number of deaths so i think the president has pushed back against small squaring and lockdowns last week he swore in a new health minister his 4th since the pandemic began brazil was also slow to secure vaccines so far listen to him to seem to have received the stores although. there are still a lot of people to be vaccinated so we have to go faster act faster if they'd acted

also i mean you know toilet 2020 we have had. plenty many examples in every region of the world of governments weaponize ing you know all of you covered 19 to repress and to silence while the international monetary fund is predicting a stronger than expected global recovery this year as vaccine rollouts gather pace but economists are warning of tougher times ahead for the developing world shabba tansey reports now from washington d.c. . the i.m.f. increased its projections for world economic growth in 2021 from 5.5 percent to 6 percent as a result it says of trillions of dollars of pandemic stimulus and the international rollout of kerrville vaccines global g.d.p. had contracted 3.3 percent in 2020 over the past year the i.m.f. chief economist is warning that almost 95000000 people are fooling below the

threshold of extreme poverty around the world due to the pandemic including within industrialized nations and developing countries remain vulnerable a similarly ambitious effort is now needed at the multilateral level to secure the recovery and build forward better without additional effort to give all people a fair shot cross-country gaps in living standards could widen significantly and decade's long progress in global poverty reduction could reverse. that long time watchers of the i.m.f. and world bank. argued that it is precisely the policies of the i.m.f. and world bank that foster that income inequality despite what in recent years has become the traditional rhetoric of concern used at the annual spring meeting we see the i.m.f. see research department putting out grade materials and recognizing problems like inequality and talking about an inclusive recovery and climate change and all these

things that sound very good but at the country level if you look at the advice given in the programs it's all the same from you know decades ago and it's just a disconnect between the 2 these 2 parts at the i.m.f. head of the meeting hundreds of civil society groups wrote to the i.m.f. and world bank decrying their insistence on austerity programs that cut education and health services in developing nations in return for moonies as well as that performance on climate change which they see as inadequate in addition the figures for projected economic growth released on tuesday are a dependent on universal global access to a coded vaccine yet the i.m.f. hasn't spoken out in favor of waiving international peyton's on those vaccines something the biden ministration is fighting even though it was public money that paid for the research without that some economists argue that any stated policies about building forward better off color for the developing world she every time see al-jazeera washington all tanzania's new president is promising

the policies of her predecessor the late president but again she doesn't want on the other hand to look like she is sitting still so she says that she is constituting this committee of experts to evaluate. coronavirus pandemic in the country to consult and engage widely and internationally and to come back to the government with recommendations and advice the government on how to move forward so basically what she's trying to do is that she's going to then present this recommendations and say look the committee of experts professionals form tanzania have recommended this so we have to institute this so a clear change of policy a change of direction on how pot is going to be interesting and i started really to see what this panel of experts is going to recommend and also importantly to see whether going forward she's going to finally allow the rollout of the vaccination program that the rest of the walled seems to be rolling out of the moment. now
