country's military leaders and of reportedly been involved in an attack on the security forces a police station in shan state was targeted and 10 police officers were killed meanwhile in bago about 90 kilometers northeast of the city of yangon activists saying the military killed 18 people in a violent crackdown there on friday tony chang has our report. even before the sun room the sounds of battle raged myanmar's armed forces moving into the city of fargo an important gateway to the south behind the barricades the protesters tried to stand their ground but the military advance was fierce automatic gunfire and evidence that heavier weapons pictures posted to social media appear to show rifle launched grenades and reports that 3 of myanmar's ethnic rebel groups attacked a police station in the far eastern shan state on saturday morning unity amongst

these disparate groups could be. problematic for the military as it faces attacks on its outposts and civil unrest in towns and cities at a news conference in yangon the gintas spokesman said support for the protests was waning and the death toll is considerably lower than reported with an ominous warning sign i've got it if we really shoot at the protest group using automatic rifles the $500.00 you referred to could be killed within hours but the evidence from mandalay on saturday suggests protesters are still out in large numbers marching through the streets despite the threat of detention or worse. some have fled the cities however for the relative safety of the bases of the ethnic rebel groups along the border while the conditions may be basic the alternative could have been worse. you will need you know you will need we know that if we were to get arrested the security forces would not let us live they'd kill us so we had to

run away. and the steady flow of people heading towards the borders is growing as many now fear myanmar is on an unavoidable course towards civil war tony ching al jazeera. when i am in my eyes seen on the ethnic struggles for decades but groups have acted independently until now there are 21 rebel organizations controlling about a 3rd of the country mostly on the borders the 3 involved in the latest incident cover both sides of the country from right kind stay in the west to shan state in the east 10 of the groups signed a cease fire with the civilian government 6 years ago but this was before this was actually fraying and under some strain even before the coup in february fighting has carried on regardless in catchin state for example displacing 100000 people there and then in iraq kind 200000 people have been forced from their homes

hundreds more have been killed many of the groups were quick to condemn the coup and then now continuing talks to form a united front against the giunta so let's now speak to ronan li an expert in the country's ethnic divisions and a visiting scholar at queen mary university of london so you're hearing there has been years of violence in me and my involving these armed groups i think pretty much since independence many of them fighting for greater autonomy help us understand why they're getting drawn into this intensifying conflict with the military now. well for me i think minorities the military of the country has always been the enemy that's who they've been fighting for the last many decades they blame the military for standing in the way of their aspirations for local autonomy and for stamping on any expression of their ethnic rights or identity that

what's happening now is that the military in launching the coup has managed to unify and not just the country's majority against them but also the ethnic groups and ethnic minority groups at the same time what the military would try to do in the past is strike a peace agreement with with one group while it launches an attack on the other or all all cease fire agreements have now broken down within me and you've got the issue of a very strong protest movement in the center in the urban centers yang gone mandalay bag-o. as we see today so for the 1st time the military is not just facing challenges from ethnic groups it's also facing challenges from the country's majority and this is all happening simultaneous to a very strong civil disobedience movement in me and others a general strike on the way this is a country that's close to the point of state collapse and the message the message to the military is clear there is no significant interest in the country that

actually wants the military in charge that the vast majority of people in myanmar whether they're living in the urban centers or whether they're living in the periphery or whether they're among the ethnic minorities they simply don't want the military in control and that means that they the military cannot win long term but you have to admit the military is still determined to regain full control certainly to consolidate its influence over the country they're not going to be backing down any time soon so if these security arrangements that are in place prior to the crew . coup are now breaking down and the military is having to deal with these armed groups in places like rock kind statewide at the same time trying to suppress the protests did they are they already overextended do they have the resources to do that well if if a number of if nick armed groups attack me and my military simultaneously it will

stretch them they're already stretched because of the urban conflict that they themselves have created within the country the worry i think for the international community and for the people of myanmar is that even though we know that the military cannot govern the country in the long term the military are deluded and they think that they can and they think that the way that they can do that is by using violence and what we've seen from me and mars military in the past and even in the recent past against the rega is that they were using extreme violence reports from the go today of 80 protesters killed by the military well well that's that's a small figure compared to the sorts of murders that they unleashed upon the rich as recently as 2017 but i think the worry is that myanmar as a state could actually collapse amid military violence as the military tries and fails to govern the country this requires i think now serious international

engagement words from the u.n. aren't enough now i mean this is this is a country that's teetering on the age of for state collapse right if there is an action from the international community arms embargo. targeted targeted sanctions what does that mean in the short to medium term more bloodshed. humanitarian crisis economic damage and people fleeing in their thousands from the country a refugee crisis as well. well significant loss of life is what it means i mean there must military will by i mean we've seen we've seen what they're prepared to do they are prepared to use as much violence as they feel that they need to that they'll go all in the prop the problem is that the people of myanmar of simply don't want them back and are not giving in they're prepared to they're prepared to stand down that violence that in the past has been successful for the military in

the past the military has been able to use violence to to quell protest that's not happening this time and you've got 2 forces the military and the people of myanmar and when they meet it means that they'll be catastrophe and that that will spill that will unquestionably spill over the borders it's already spilled over the borders into thailand there have been refugees crossing the border into into india too as we know from 2017 that there were hundreds of thousands of wrecking your crossing the borders in 2017 that's the sort of chaos that me and miles military are prepared to unleash not just on the people of myanmar but on me and me and. i thank you very much ryan and lee for sharing your time with us and joining us on the news out tonight appreciate it. i want to move to our other top story this hour iran saying that it's testing new more advanced centrifuges to enrich uranium despite preparing for another round of talks aimed at reviving the nuclear deal

with world powers president has done rouhani maybe announcement during a virtual meeting on iran's annual nuclear technology day country has been steadily moving away from the terms of the 2015 deal since the united states with the true and former president donald trump the european union has been trying to. try to revive in trying to revive some sort of negotiation between the u.s. and iran will asset base intact ron and says that iran hasn't shifted its path. this is a national day of nuclear chief this day came about back in 2006 when iran managed to enrich uranium to about 3.5 percent using centrifuges made in the country now we were expecting over $130.00 announcements of new achievements over in relation to its nuclear program now iran is using more advanced centrifuges and feeding into them but it's also began production of the 6 centrifuges now that's important

because under the 2015 nuclear deal iran is restricted to using older and less efficient centrifuges not these ones but also that natanz power plant apparently the production of the centrifuges was damaged because of apparent sabotage iran says producing this this is all in the context of those talks that took place in vienna that ended yesterday they said to continue next week on wednesday and this is just iran showing that they will continue along this line along this path as long as those sanctions are not lifted and. the europeans are not living up to their commitments and iran has been pretty transparent about it they've told the international atomic agency of what they've been doing and as far as iran is concerned they're within the agreement to take what they see as remedial measures but the europeans and i think this is a breach but the supreme leader said just 2 weeks ago that iran will continue down this path as some of the other countries don't fulfill their responsibilities but

it does add that extra layer of complexity to those talks because as time goes by iran continues to take steps further away from those restrictions imposed on its nuclear program as part of that 2015 nuclear deal. now turkish president is promising to support ukraine over its border tensions with russia and says he hopes the dispute can be solved through dialogue came as i don't welcome his ukrainian counterpart vladimir selenski wolf a top level talks young who has more on this now from istanbul. this is the 2nd meeting in 7 months between ukraine's leader volodymyr selenski and turkish president rejects a bad on the last visit to a stumble comes at a crucial time for both nations but the focus on saturday was largely on trade tourism and defense ties between anchor and kiev ukraine has a soviet legacy of producing helicopters aircraft and cruise missile engines

turkey's next generation of combat aerial vehicles equipped with ukrainian engines are expected to be introduced later this year c r c this song considering that defense and foreign policies are interconnected we established a platform without offending foreign ministry's to increase cooperation between our countries is cooperation is by no means a threat to any 3rd country. but tension has been rising in the black sea region in recent weeks russia is amassing troops and a weapons near its western border with ukraine and the fighting in is 10 ukraine between government forces and russian backed separatists and on bass has escalated russian officers have indicated moscow could intervene to help russian speaking residents and is stand ukraine if the government launches an all out operation there the other questions for you sure we discussed in detail the issues of security and draw interaction to challenges in the black sea region it's worth

noting that the regions of kiev and uncover coincide both regarding the threats themselves and the ways of responding to those threats the united states is considering sending 2 warships to the black sea region in the coming days despite do u.s. navy routinely operating in the area the stime the pentagon believes the deployment will send a message to moscow that the u.s. is watching the situation closely. turkey is in a sense to position at the moment as a nato ally it is likely to support their alliance in any potential crisis between ukraine and washington on one side and moscow on the other but that could provoke anger in russia the country on korea depends on for its energy needs russia and turkey have a fragile partnership in syria libya when it comes to that through lation ship could be tested in the weeks and months ahead. also 0 stumble so i have for you on the news hour as when more violence on the streets of belfast

where issues triggered by breck's it have led to some of the worst on rest in years . gone salutes across the u.k. and around the world to remember prince philip and in sports history was made at one of the world's most famous force races the grand national after it was won by a female jockey for the 1st time. or now argentina has registered a record high number of new corona virus infections for the 4th day in a row more than 24000 new cases reported on saturday the government has imposed tougher restrictions including a 3 week nighttime curfew in an effort to contain the new wave of infections adding to close close gyms and borders as well as a relatively rapid vaccine program but now those measures have stopped it being in

the top 10 countries with the most new infections so let's go live now to daniel sharman who's in what is ours and people in the highest risk areas are now living under some very difficult restrictions how tough is the situation in argentina right now. well i think it's tough simply because people feel discouraged they have been general being complying with the rules and regulations the various lock downs that we've had since march of last year and yet the numbers keep going up as you mentioned record numbers of infections the last few days around about 20000 it's all about trying to alleviate strain on the hospitals on the i.c.u. beds which argentina has done relatively well they haven't reached the peaks of capacity that we've seen in neighboring paraguayan for instance where the health minister there talked about the system being overloaded many places in brazil as

well we've seen capacity in some hospitals so it's all about that but you do sense that people here are increasingly frustrated a defiant about these regulations because it's in a way more of the same they are in general i think complying but is a serious situation and the ones who will suffer the people living in the shanty towns who have been suffering from the very beginning when asked to bear the strain of the ones that inevitably are the hardest hit so yes very very frustrating people very impatient waiting for those vaccines to arrive because they really haven't been arriving in the numbers of the people hope that the politicians were promising earlier this year so the situation is deteriorating there in argentina obviously you have different situations playing out in different countries but also you have through brazil very much that the worst hit countries in latin america right now. what was ill very much so i mean the same time we're seeing local authorities state

authorities imposing restrictions lifting those restrictions we're seeing a 10 days of restrictions being lifted in rio de janeiro one of the worst hit areas of brazil the difficulty they have there of course is they have their city and state authorities imposing restrictions yet you have the president of the nation job also now are all urging people to go back to work people can say will the president of the who wear a mask why should i wear a mask so you have this very very great conflicts across the country with some trying to impose restrictions trying to keep those numbers down and others really defying those rules led by their own president so a very difficult situation here in argentina we do see a more coherent message there is opposition but a much more coherent message from the government and as a result the numbers up until the last few days have been much lower but again difficult to explain to people who comply with the rules and regulations when they see these numbers going up and up and up and the politicians promising that the

vaccines are coming and they're not seeing not seeing that happening in many cases all right thank you very much from one as. well junior poncy is an epidemiologist specializing in mortality data joins me by skype from sao paolo in brazil and we've seen the countries coronavirus death toll really hit depressing new heights over the past we thousands of deaths i think of the 10000 deaths in just the past 3 or 4 days when do you anticipate the country might reach the peak. oh miriam thanks for having me on the show again we are still seeing a high number of infections so we expect the next 2 weeks to be as hard as the week we've just been through we only expect to see a considerable decrease in number and the number of deaths in april. people are now projecting that april might have

a larger number of deaths than we've seen in march if we add up all the numbers that we had 2020 for the pandemic we are almost reaching that number for the former for the 1st 4 months of the endemic in 2021 in brazil. and the contributing factors to this how do you weigh up the absence of affective measures particularly the political response from the president. with now this much more contagious you variant that has wreaked havoc in places like brazil's amazon. you know we really have the perfect storm here in brazil 'd we have a president that sends mixed messages that fights with governors and with mayors who are trying to enact lockdowns and containment measures or to add back to a prophylactic measure such as the use of masks we also have had a very slow down in fact scenes brazil is just now hitting something around 10 percent of people think vaccinated with the 1st dose but most of the vaccines that

we have here require 2 doses we also have a situation where the fight that the president is finding on the national battleground is also political he is at odds with congress and with the judiciary especially the supreme court just this week an investigation led by the congress has been authorized by the supreme court so it remains to be seen whether that will pressure the president into acting more firmly towards containing the pen demick just that i can understand this the date of the month of march shows more than 66000 deaths what else to come of it what do you expect to see by the end of april well if we keep up the numbers of infections that we are seeing now. we can expect something much closer to 100000 deaths deaths. than what we saw in march of

course if we start doing measures now they will take about 2 weeks to be effective but we might finish the month being just as bad as march but not worse thank you very much julia poncy epidemiologist joining us. well elsewhere 10000 field hospital beds of being hastily set up in bangkok as thailand fights a 3rd wave than factions in 600 new cases reported on friday a rest in a country which is successfully managed to keep the numbers down there are fears millions of people could travel now in the coming days for the song grand new year holiday some regions have imposed restrictions but the national government has avoided it thailand recorded just 96 deaths in the past year. some of the world's poorest countries might have to wait longer for the 2nd doses of their vaccines up to 60 countries that have started their vaccine rollout may have to wait until june

now to receive more shots supply shortages of senior year old deliveries through the kovacs program blocked while health organization scheme is designed to give poor nations fair access to the vaccines one in 4 adults in the world's richest countries have already had at least one does. now it's 23 years to the day since the signing of the good friday agreement it was supposed to bring peace to northern ireland but the past week has shown how fragile it really is the 1009 $108.00 deal agreed to power sharing between unionists who want the region to stay in the u.k. and nationalists who want it to join with ireland it brought an end to 3 decades of conflict known as the troubles which claimed 3 and a half 1000 lives but the effects of the u.k.'s breck's it deal in a controversy over coronavirus restrictions led to a week of violent protests people had hoped they would never see again anderson is reports now from belfast. many had warned about the fragile peace in northern

ireland being threatened by arrangements over bricks it coming back to the good friday agreement on this day it was signed 23 years ago and it is being the center point of those bricks and negotiations the end result was to avoid a hard hard border to put it across the hours see that cause chaos and trade for northern ireland it led to a whole area of dissent and then into mingled with a whole range of other issues with republicans demonstrating quite clearly their strength during a funeral exactly well nearly just exactly a year ago the story and i are a member of a petrol i remember had died and the police did took no action with the 2000 people amongst them in fein leaders who broke regulations apparently now the loyalists of

the unionist politicians have said point blank the police should have taken action and we have amongst this or all of this with the police under pressure a call from the 1st minister ali and foster for the chief constable of northern ireland to resign which he refuses to do so you have that going on as an irritation to loyalists who are furious about that add to that the nature of the paramilitaries that loyalist paramilitaries being involved in organized crime some theories suggest that they are the cause of a lot of this violence they're actually organizing it and in fact calling for a low in all of the violence because of prince philip dying that was breached on friday night as we saw and now there is a worry that this could go on this is not going away by no means. well here in the u.k. it's been announced the funeral of prince philip will take place on saturday april

17th but the event at windsor castle just outside london will be relatively low key as henri challenge reports military tributes have been paid for the husband of queen elizabeth who died on friday at the age of 99 was. across the u.k. including london. cardiff northern ireland former royal naval ships at sea i'm sure brought it to a special gun salute for prince philip once a minute 41 times. a tribute to from his son prince charles. was was a very special person who i think above all else would have been amazed by the reaction and the touching things that have been said about him and from that point of my family deeply grateful for all that it will sustain us in this particular loss and at this particular time. outside the queen's london residence

a growing row of flowers from the public for the man who stood beside her for 73 years of marriage. it's a reminder for our sins you know those wonderful values of bravery and loyalty and he was just a great british man someone who gives that many years to public service. just come down. from a sad moment isn't it. well meaning something the royal family is trying to discourage because of restrictions walking a palace is keen to avoid the royal residence is turning into a focus of mass mourning it's actually asked people not to come down here and lay flowers but as you can see there is a steady stream of people who've turned up to pay their respects anyway. the pandemic has also drastically scaled down plans for how he'll be laid to rest philip himself had ruled out a state funeral buckingham palace has announced the service at windsor castle on

april 17th is to have no public access for public procession beforehand as per the u.k.'s pandemic regulations the number of mourners will be limited to 30 prince harry he's distanced himself from the royal family will return from his new home in the us for it but his pregnant wife make unmarketable not on the advice of her doctor. al-jazeera. on the. chaldeans get ready to vote in an election when most opposition candidates. i've been disqualified from running. the lights and cameras are ready now indonesia hopes the pandemic rebound can put some action into the film industry and that in sport the english premier league pays its respects to prince philip.

a deadly confrontation between troops and protesters in which at least 80 people were killed. in a meeting with ukraine's leader turkey's president has offered his supporters against russian incursions earlier ukraine's defense minister said a russian troop buildup could provoke an armed response. and iran's announce the testing of new equipment to enrich uranium even as it engages in talks on reviving the deal with while president hassan rouhani used the annual nuclear technology day to reveal the centrifuges. iran project director of the international crisis group he was involved in negotiations between iran and the other signatories to the nuclear deal and joins me now by skype from washington so the united states should be in a better position to revive the 2015 nuclear deal but the trump era sanctions are still in place how far is the binah i did a ministration willing to go to revive talks. a look at both ministration has

said that it's willing to remove all the sanctions that are inconsistent with the 2015 nuclear deal in return for iran coming back to compliance with its own obligations of course there are some sanctions like for instance designation of entities that were involved in cyber attacks against the u.s. or interfering in u.s. elections that will have to remain in place and are not in inconsistent with the nuclear deal but the iranians are says that all sanctions would have to be lifted and they have to be lifted in one go right ahead so what they keep going round in circles then is that even well well you know at the end of the day both sides want the same thing which is the restoration of the nuclear deal and it with political will i think they would be able to resolve these differences but without any doubt it's going to be painstakingly difficult what's the catalyst going to be if the

sanctions i mean iran is under incredible economic pressure right now but they seem to be resisting despite their desperate need to find a way out of the sanctions. look the only way forward is for both sides to demonstrate flexibility and for both of them to move in parallel i don't think any side is willing to move 1st and what wait 40 yet are to reciprocate so they half what they're doing right now in vienna is that they're basically trying to come up with a comprehensive list of measures that each side would have to implement in order to come back into full compliance with the nuclear deal a list of sanctions and interest of iranian nuclear measures and then see how they can agree on it on a sequencing that more or less would happen in palo to bring both sides back into folk and lions the idea is that if they managed to finalize this road map prior to the iranian elections on june 18th they would probably be able to into implemented

before president rouhani leaves office in august of this year right so the timing is absolutely crucial here it's very easy to look at the issue narron me but you you can't look at it in a vacuum really the impact of domestic politics and bias in iran and the united states on these bilateral negotiations is is really crucial here. without any doubt there are forces in iran who prefer this issue to be resolved by the next iranian president who would probably be a hard liner and they want to be able to take the credit for lifting the sanctions and in the us there are also forces who don't want to see sanctions being lifted on iran only to go back to a deal that most political forces in washington opposed to begin with and so there are also formidable forces in the region from u.s. allies like israel or saudi arabia who don't want to see iran shackled so this is again much easier said than done but at the end of the day i think for iran and the

united states the alternatives to restoration of the deal are much less attractive which in fact amount to a growing iranian nuclear program while iran continues to suffer from u.s. sanctions in the middle of a deadly pandemic but without common ground and the current conditions remaining in place what is how do you assess the risk of that being some sort of unintended escalation are even minutely intervention look i think the chance of diplomatic breakthrough prior to iranian elections are about $5050.00 but there's always the risk of a black swan emerging given the level of track of friction between iran and the u.s. and the respective allies in the region in a single incident on iraqi soil or in the persian gulf suffices to completely derail nuclear diplomacy so time is of the essence and both sides is really in

their interest to demonstrate flexibility and move to resolve their differences as quickly as possible at levi's thank you very much my pleasure. or united nations is the government in chad to respect civil rights head of sunday's election president addressed ab is expected to win a 6th term as leader with most of his opponents sidelined rights groups and opposition parties have accused the government of repression the interior ministry says it's arrested several people for planning attacks on polling stations and trying to disrupt sunday's elections. morgan is following the story now janina where there are serious doubts about whether the vote is going to be free or fair. poll in the caribbean presidential election officially open on sunday for the civilian population and their debut for that's happened on saturday. a military her father casting their ballot for who they say they want to see winning in this
