3:17 am
battle raged men miles armed forces moving into the city of go 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 the gentle 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
3:18 am
$500.00 you refer 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 your 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. well there have been armed ethnic struggles in me and for decades but groups have acted independently until now 21 rebel organizations control about one 3rd of the country mostly on the
3:19 am
borders the 3 involved in the latest incident cover both sides of the country from rakhine state in the west to shan in the east 10 groups signed a cease fire with the civilian government 6 years ago but this was collapsing even before the coup on february the 1st fighting has carried on regardless in catchin state displacing 100000 people and in rakhine state 200000 people have been forced from their homes there hundreds more have been killed many of the groups were quick to condemn the coup and they're now continuing talks to form a united front against the military jointer ronan li is an expert in myanmar as ethnic divisions he says the military is facing pressure on multiple fronts. for me i think minorities the military of the country has always been the enemy that's who they have 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
3:20 am
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 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 yank on mandalay bag-o. as we see today so for the 1st time the military is not just facing challenges from ethnic armed groups it's also facing challenges from the country's majority and this is all happening simultaneously there's a very strong civil disobedience movement in near mother's a general strike underway this is a country that's close to the point of state collapse and the message the message
3:21 am
to the military's clear there is no significant interest in the country that actually wants the military in charge of their own says it's begun testing a new more advanced uranium enrichment centrifuges just ahead of another round of talks in vienna the president hassan rouhani made the announcement during a virtual meeting on iran's annual nuclear technology day the country's been steadily moving away from the terms of the 2050 nuclear to you since the u.s. pulled out under donald trump the european union's been acting as a go between in the talks. and to iran he reports iran has not changed course. 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
3:22 am
its nuclear program now iran is using more advanced centrifuges and feeding into them but it's also began production of the 6 centrifuges that's important because under the 2015 nuclear deal iran is restricted to using older and less efficient centrifuges not these ones but also. apparently the production of the centrifuges was damaged because of apparent sabotage last summer and now iran says that they are producing this now this is all in the context of those talks that took place in vienna and did yesterday 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 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
3:23 am
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. in iran lecture a disciplinary center in. israel wants to be heard during the u.s. negotiations with iran. israel has not realized the session it and yell of ministration that it made a mistake to end obama administration off airing all its differences with obama in the public media mr thady are one as far as giving a speech in a congress against the iranian nuclear deal that only did not work it also hurt

relationship with the united states so on the one hand we see israel is now. talking to the americans but it's doing so intensely but privately 1st and foremost . is secondly yes there are concerns of when you are not party to talks but the effect you has is that case with israel it's always more difficult to get what you want it's even more difficult i mean it's always difficult enough for parties involved in talks directly to get what they want here for israel which is not party to the talks it's even more difficult so they are you know the current israeli government through these talks putting its point across to the united states to divide it ministration with the hope that during these they were sheesh and. the result who also be suitable for israel and in their nuclear program and also all other concerns that israel has with iran 1st and foremost the new and the missile
