officials in this unity government and that is they want a seat at that table they want to participate if the judge to send a representative if there are other representatives from other nations it's a tall order that this will actually be recognized as a government of myanmar any time soon but what it does do is it pushes forward this organization this this government in exile if you will even though some of the members are still in myanmar it pushes that forward so they can have a seat at that table so they can speak with a more unified voice those who oppose the jones and who working against the giants inside myanmar. is the union minister of international cooperation and spokesman for the national unity government he joins us now live via skype from an undisclosed location good to have you with us so what is your government aiming to achieve and how will it gain legitimacy internationally and with the people of myanmar we have to add.

most various ethnic groups where we formed this national unity government. secret society organizations all around the country included. arms organizations were included and what if it got parties where include it. most importantly elected member of parliament in the elections were included so does the 4 main stakeholders are included there and is a very important these now see no unity government is a big open eyes but international community as it is beautiful but now it's by the people of myanmar do you see the various ethnic armed factions in myanmar taking on the military in the name of this new unity government as in will your government have an exile a government in exile have a military wing would it be taking on the military in armed conflict.

in yet but i would imagine if the supporters carry on chanting their way they are the police may well be forced to take action but the real story today has i think been what happened to jimmy lie he has been jailed for 12 months but then he received an additional 2 months for taking part in a protest in july the main protest the focus of today's sentencing happened of course in august and we've also learned today that jimmy lie is going to face additional charges under the new national security law remember he's already in jail having been arrested under that legislation now he's going to be charged once more so he faces 3 charges under the new national security law which means of course that he's if convicted going to spend very likely the rest of his life in jail here with the news out from al-jazeera still to come on the program. the attack on hama began on the 24th of march he later some families have fled the

food program says that almost a 1000000 people are facing severe hunger in northern mozambique barely 700000 have been displaced by fighting between government forces and armed groups linked to i saw about 2600 people have died since the conflict began 4 years ago or is it was horrible tarsa as our report from a camp in kabul daugaard a province. these 3 months ago dragged him into the forest saying they were going to chop off his head when he tried to escape they shot him. they kept shooting at me and they kept running i hid in the bush for 3 days and 3 nights i was weak and i lost a lot of blood somebody found me and carried me to a place where what's weird is killing other people from my village that is how i survived.

an armed group calling itself al-shabaab with links to eisele is behind this attack in fact they've been wreaking havoc in the region since 2017 their attacks have left at least 2600 people dead and uprooted nearly 700000 people. is one of them he now lives in a camp for internally displaced people is one of several in mozambique province thousands of people now have no source of income and rely on humanitarian aid but many of them they have seen directly their relatives being killed. either by shooting or vertica potations. many of them they don't know where there are things are and they don't know if they are alive and there is no way for them to know because they don't have communication voices know that you can call by so what are you are still alive which is they don't know. another thing is sort of the living conditions like i'm in if you can see here it's very very small houses bigger camp

this one was set up only a few months ago. the last census tied up by the government in december last year counted nearly 50000 people living in this camp since then attacks in towns and villages have grown in size and frequency humanitarian workers say many more people are now living here as well as an other camp in the probably. the most recent attack was in parma in march weeks later families are still arriving at reception centers desperately looking for food and shelter some of them could end up joining thousands of others already living in camps not sure if it will ever be safe enough for them to go back home. province mozambique the head of russia's foreign intelligence service says the new u.s. sanctions against the kremlin are poorly considered and well road international stability washington has imposed a broad range of penalties and respond. to what it calls moscow's election meddling

and cyber attacks the kremlin denies the accusations it says a response is inevitable but hasn't yet specified water when u.s. president joe biden says that dialogue is still possible now is the time to deescalate. the way forward for dialogue and diplomatic process. the u.s. is prepared to continue constructively to move toward that process my bottom line is this will is an interesting united states to work with russian we should and we will russia seeks to violate the interest united states we will respond. from our serious part of smith to moscow. russia's president appears to be in no hurry to announce what measures he will take any to counter the sanctions imposed by the u.s. on russia on the expulsion of 10 russian diplomats from washington d.c.

kremlin spokesman dimitri prescott says any concrete steps will depend on a decision by putin he also says that the sanctions imposed on russia won't. affect russia's domestic economy but he welcomes comments from president biden that both leaders see eye to eye on the need to deescalate tensions between russia and the us a long list of complaints against russian activities is interference into u.s. presidential elections widespread acking the occupation of ukraine jailing of alexei the opposition politician americans called nefarious activities the russians of course deny allegations that their meddling in america that. iran says that it successfully enrich uranium up to 60 percent far beyond the limits set under the terms of the 2050 nuclear deal that comes the day after more

talks were held in vienna aimed at reviving the accord discussions have progressed but were affected by an attack on iran's main nuclear facility last sunday the us president joe biden says that he wants to rejoin the agreement but that iran must 1st reverse its violations teheran for its part wants u.s. sanctions lifted 1st big reports from tehran. iran is doing that because it's a reaction to what they have called the act of sabotage last sunday at their main nuclear facility. iran announced that they would be enriching to 60 percent as well as installing a 1000 more advanced centrifuges now that attack happened on sunday iran said it was nuclear terrorism and the cold in the europeans yesterday to condemn it and actually cuse them of having a weak response now yes that is above the limits in the 2015 nuclear deal but iran has already passed those limits iran has been enriching up to 20 percent uranium

enrichment since november and that enrichment the increase in resentment was the reaction of the assassination of iran's and the nuclear scientists must in fact result in november if i take you back to 2015 iran was interesting to 20 percent when they signed that deal it was 3.6 percent former president donald trump imposed sanctions in one waited for a year then went up to 4 percent now yesterday the president hassan rouhani said that iran has the ability to pursue 90 percent that's weapons grade clearly concerning for the united states and the europeans well iran is also using this as leverage for those talks 8 people have been killed at a fed ex facility in the u.s. city of indianapolis the company says that it's deeply sad and shocked by the loss of life and confirmed that its employees were among the victims police say the gunman took his own life for more let's go live now to john hendren minneapolis took us through what happened late last night. where police say

they approached federal express. in indianapolis after 11 pm when they got reports of shots being fired one witness on the scene said he heard what sounded like a car backfiring and then after he heard several more pops he looked toward the entrance of that building in the gunman with what he described as a machine gun in any case in automatic. weapon is how we it was described and police say that when they arrived they found several bodies with wounds consistent with gunshot wounds and then went inside the visibility that at some point when police arrived the gunman apparently committed suicide and they now say that that scene is secure but there are a number of family members and friends who waited for hours overnight at a hotel to hear the news of what had happened to their family members one reason for that is that at the fed ex facility people inside are not allowed to carry

phones so many family members went to the basilica itself because they wanted to find out information about their relatives so as police continue to identify these people eventually we expect to get the names of them. we have already had statements of condemnation and sadness from federally from fedex saying we are deeply shocked and saddened by the loss of our team members following the tragic shooting at our fedex ground facility in indianapolis the mayor of indianapolis joe hogg's it said this morning indianapolis residents are confronted with the horrific news of yet another mass shooting and it is the 5th mass shooting in as many weeks and believe it or not despite the pandemic in the united states 2020 was the worst year for gun violence in 20 years president biden last week called the mass shooting problem in america as an international embarrassment. but he's got

little shot of getting much through congress despite efforts to continue to propose limits on guns in the past congress has passed some limits including on assault weapons that expired and since then congress especially republicans in congress have taken an increasingly broad interpretation of the us 2nd amendment which allows individuals to bear arms so. little legislative action activity is likely to result from this again the 5th shooting in 5 weeks here in the u.s. the 5th mass shooting. i was there as john hendren reporting live from minneapolis many thanks joe police in the united states are facing more protests this time over the fatal shooting of a 13 year old latino boy it happened last month but video of the incident has only just been released the distressing pictures appear to show adam toledo turn to offices with his hands raised before he was shot i did show castro reports

life did not have a gun in his hand. the officer screamed at him show me your hands adam complied turned around his hands were empty when he was shot in the chest at the hands of the officer. it had taken intense public pressure to convince chicago police to release the video toledo's mother had spoken to her son in the early april. are up in the air. the civilian office of police accountability is investigating and the officer identified as eric stillman and obviously shaken immediately after the shooting is now on administrative duties the chicago police department was cited by the us justice department in 2017 for civil

rights violations aimed at minorities and a white officer who shot a black man 16 times in 2014 was convicted of murder we live in a city that is traumatized by a long history of police violence and misconduct so while we don't have enough information to be the judge and jury of this particular situation it is certainly understandable why so many of our residents are feeling it all too familiar surge of outrage and pain. chicago's mayor and the 2 little family have issued a joint call for calm in the city acknowledging the painful footage will elicit an emotional response from all who view it the last moments of a 13 year old who according to his mother had dreamed of becoming a police officer himself now dead at the hands of one. castro al-jazeera. a former u.s.

a passenger who got out of the vehicle was covered in blood she said. hanson told al jazeera that she was misquoted she alleges that the official account does not report that a significant amount of time passed between the car coming to arrest and dante wright being given any medical care they waited in these 4 minutes before. they got her out of you. right away if. you shot him and you recognize the realize you. and you should have done that in a why is it your number one priority to go in get him and try and save his life and give him a chance in life why are you doing that hansen began filming minutes after she arrived so you can see wright's white car between the police vehicles no one is attempting to help right she says only a minute and a half off the she began filming do you see right being given c.p.r. having been pulled from his car hanson also says office a post did not immediately attend to right off to having shot him only off to

backup arrived was anything dumb that we should be the 1st person there dragging my heart and doing anything she could to do it because she made that mistake if it was a mistake then that's what she would the lawyer for rights family says this is another argument for more transparency from the police this proves we need to see the body cam video from all the offices to see if the police officer has rendered aid a media late for dante right that could a possibly saved his life we also brooklyn sent a police to speak to us but they've yet to respond main question why does it appear it took so long for them to give dante right any medical assistance she had the al-jazeera brooklyn santa. wow fighter that stands out time for us to get away the full cost his avatar. hello the rain clouds really gathering now for japan as we go through the next couple of days you can see this hook of cloud that's moving

to the same period last year it's a dramatic turnaround from 2020 when tough coronavirus measures brought the chinese economy to a virtual standstill the trading year reports from shanghai. and shanghai is commercial center buses of domestic tourists rup shoulders but office workers and delivery people the city has bounced back from the pandemic something reflected in the latest economic figures china grew by 18.3 percent in the 1st quarter of 2021 the biggest jump since records began in the early 1990 s. . we expect the economy this year to maintain its current trend of steady strengthening and steady improvement but many say the figure is skewed it comes from a low base of minus 7 percent this time last year a period of lockdowns employers during the beginning of the current a virus outbreak that created a historic contraction still the chinese government says the recovery has been robust led by a strong industrial sector and

a jump in demand for exports as carpet spread around the world beijing poured money into infrastructure projects but resisted heavy handed stimulus measures to avoid worsening debt china's response code 19 economically was percentile in between 10 and 30 percent of what was done by the us europe etc so there wasn't this helicopter money but retail spending and domestic consumption continue to lag behind and some analysts say china's economic recovery has been an even and many living in poor areas are still struggling to get by right now job security is bad ever looking at people outside of big cities consumption declining so basically the economic recovery right now are concentrated in big cities if you're looking at smaller cities areas and their economic recovery or. china's g.d.p. grew by 2.3 percent in 2020 the only major economy to do so during the pandemic

semiconductors are at the heart of the devices many of us use every day from phones to game console household electronics and medical diagnostics to name just a few but now there are a shortage of the vital silicon chips in my 30 year career i've never seen a. demand exceeding supply to the extent that supplies were tight before the pandemic hit but during the global lockdowns demand for more networking in more devices has skyrocketed now we're in a multi-year cycle where the demand is really outstripping the supply the crunch is crushing the u.s. auto industry at the beginning of the pandemic demand plummeted and automakers cut back production drastically but they underestimated how quickly demand would rebound when they raced to put in more orders late last year they were turned down by chip makers committed to supplying other industries when those workers that

cancelled it immediately got back filled by other areas of the market that actually stayed very robust recovery things like you know p.c.'s in person like tronics all these anything work from home study from home away from home. demanded incredibly resilient and so they got to be got back on the name of the auto guys came up at a back why recently general motors the largest u.s. auto maker announced it would cut production even though demand is high if you look across the board a lot of factories are closed on ships for a lot of their popular crossovers as well so it's definitely hitting you know hitting the market the u.s. leads the world in semiconductor design but manufacturing is heavily concentrated in taiwan south korea and japan recently president joe biden called for strengthening u.s. manufacturing capacity as a matter of national economic security top administration officials are meeting with leading chip manufacturers in the meantime are reaching out to our allies

semiconductor companies and others in the supply chain to ramp up production to help us resolve the mom likes we face now increasing ship capacity will take time and it won't be cheap a single semiconductor plant can cost $20000000000.00 to construct robert oulds al-jazeera los angeles pakistan has imposed a ban on all social media often violent protests earlier this week on wednesday security forces fired tear gas to disperse a sit in following the arrest of the leader of the technique in the bike party the religious group wants the government to expel the french ambassador its also demanding a ban on french products after the publication of cartoons in france depicting the prophet muhammad come on haida reports from islamic dot. the progress on telecom or tautog a days dieted go to spend internet services for 4 hours a cross-bar gets done because they did a friday the move was an attempt to try to stop the daily gallop back by august on

a century he controlled the military he was vice president and number 2 in the communist party. when fidel castro fell ill in 2006 it was fine it held castro's turn to run the country he quickly lifted knows some practices such as the prohibition for cubans to buy or sell property or a car or even stay at hotels and resorts for foreigners he introduced timid economic reforms to allow ordinary citizens to run small businesses. he oversaw the renewal of diplomatic ties with the united states and a historic visit by president barack obama in 2016 but what he did not change was his commitment to the communist party's total control. they didn't elect me as president to restore capitalism in cuba or to surrender the revolution i was elected to defend. maintain and continue perfecting socialism not to destroy it for

many don't believe that he's going to be like the guy you know and the spiritual guy but in the end he is going to be from backstage control in every scene like like all. almost 5 years after fidel castro died the last remaining castro brother is stepping down whether he remains in the communist party in a lesser capacity or as an elder statesman it's unlikely to mean the end of 89 year old road castro's influence at least in the immediate future. you see in human al-jazeera from the pandemic to america's racial reckoning 2020 was a momentous year photographers and storytellers and documented some of the most striking images of the past 12 months have been on ads of the world press photo contest. this photograph showing a nurse a bracing a care home resident in brazil was selected this photo of the year was taken by the photographer and he told al-jazeera that he believes his image shows hope

a time of crisis for the world i mean it's been subsurface significant years it's a significant time in history so to receive the prize in this year specifically it's an amazing honor it's it's amazing to be able to write in or or come in you like our own human history together. and i think this is paid to really try to pay tribute and respect to to the millions of victims of the of the covered crisis i also photographed the cemeteries the hospitals the ambulances in personal that where because this shows one of the countries that it's been mostly affected by this crisis very much due to the president also not who's been one to let's end it from the very beginning so those images are important however i also think these images that is bringing in a bit more hope and maybe it's you know it's kind of showing the other side of it

or maybe showing a way out of it i think with an image that can show you compassion hope solidarity jimmied shows a way out of this crisis it at least it's it's it might be a path and that's also what i wanted to with this image that yes we are in tremendous crisis but there's also a way out of it and that is by. protecting one another protecting the people we love protecting other people and standing together. still to come here on that is how it's forced more problems for the vancouver canucks hockey team as coach at 19 keeps them off the ice.

all. the all.

i got to explore his new thank you adrian will and hockey the vancouver canucks have been hit with more pandemic problems their return to play has been delayed indefinitely after more than 20 players tested positive with coronavirus the team has been out of action for more than 3 weeks with similar outbreaks the league said the decision to postpone play was made to give staff and athletes additional time to recover and one of the few players to not get sick is j.t. miller's he says the team really isn't ready to play. it's hard for me and guys that haven't been affected by the over that ok to not imagine guys at it you guys are you know struggling to breathe get up and down steps to try to come back and form a part that i go back to about this just more worried about you. know our players

it's widely presumed to be the p one variant which is obviously running you know rampant in terms of it's community spread in the vancouver community that's created a level of transmissibility that i think certainly has kept the n.h.l. up at night since this outbreak occurred and when you look at the players that got sick you know we're talking about a majority of the players who are on the ice for sessions on ice sessions on tuesday march 30th you're going to and wednesday march 31st majority of players and coaches who are competing on the ice in an masted athletic activity contracted the virus from you know an origin or an index case of one issue to me that suggests some really difficult questions for the n.h.l. particularly these of either you threaten supposed to on ice athletic activity and asked as as hockey is played at the moment in the face of the p one which is
