this summit and as you mentioned earlier the joint chief of me in my now it's not only his attendance that is controversial but also the decision of our zeon to not invite the national unity government but analysts say that as ian's intention at this point appears to be to simply stop the violence and many analysts say that might have some success with that and if that is indeed their intention the best approach would be to speak directly to the man who is responsible for sparking this crisis in me and mar so we do have to wait and see as to how successful how productive this summit will be earlier in the year foreign ministers met to discuss met virtually to discuss this issue this is the 1st in person summit and when we heard from the engine asian foreign minister she said that shows just how seriously our zeon is taking this issue but when there was that early a meeting of foreign ministers it did reveal some difficulties in reaching

a consensus this is an incredibly diverse group of nations so some nations do have different perspectives on how exactly to go about this and what our role should be this is a closed door meeting we would very much like to be there to hear what's being discussed but that's not a possibility we won't know exactly what's going on we do know that the president of indonesia is expected to be the 1st person to speak but apart from that we don't really have any information we do expect to hear from the engine asian foreign minister who will brief the me. idea shortly after the summit concludes and perhaps then we can begin to make assessments about whether it was a productive exercise or not just a good many thanks jessica washington live in jakarta let's bring in tony chang who's in bangkok course happening on the ground in there how is this summit being viewed. there's been a lot of condemnation of the invitation to minong lie people across me i'm saying

and have done for the last week been saying that this gives legitimacy to the military coup the fact that he is being sitting with these other c.n.n. leaders elevates him to a position which he has not earned and which they don't want to see him and they're also very angry about the fact that c.n.n. has refused to engage the national unity government they say this is their government they want to speak directly to them we've also seen people posting images on social media of them smashing clay pots this is a symbolic part of funeral rites in myanmar done before a body is taken to the cemetery and that's clearly people having a bit of a dig at general minong lies journey to jakarta today and the protesters have been out again all over the country in fact i've heard in the last half an hour they're back on the streets of yangon in fairly large numbers trying to make their voice heard and holding up banners messages with 3 very clear messages they want the coup

to be reversed they want those arrested those people detained since the coup in those numbers now more than $3000.00 to be released and they want the national unity government to be put in power and to be recognized. and i think they're aware that is going to be an uphill battle. cutely aware of the fate of the international community has not really listened to their pleas from the protesters since since the coup for the 1st nonetheless they are adamant as they have been for the last 3 months and they say they will not back down tony chang reporting live from bangkok tony many things will be on mars u.n. ambassador who's an outspoken critic of the military and was sacked by the joint hopes that progress can be made the u.n. hasn't recognized his dismissal he spoke to our diplomatic editor james. whatever that did this made by the leaders of the earth. this should take into account of

saving lives are in no sense civilly and. buying the millet saving lives are in no sense civil and in ma and are providing humanitarian assistance to the people in need we need to stop the atrocity the inhumane act committed by the military this 3 point that the need to take into account whatever decision that the mit because that is fairly important saving lives in the sensibility is very important for the everyone that is the nobles toxic. for the humankind please see live or in north and see berlin that is the busy point that take into account one never did take the position you know that the commander in chief of me and why our military gentlemen on line is going to be

attending this summit what do you want other leaders to say to him and is it as some have suggested time while the military are in control to expel or suspend myanmar from r.c.n. for now. you know the the beginning what we want is the us the end should listen. to not only from the the military but also from the democratic forces so that you know but unfortunately anyone found the the national unity government was worth in no one from the national unity government was invited to the meeting but needed disappointing. for a 3rd day india has recorded the world's highest number of new infections more than 346000 the health care system is close to collapse under the pressure hospitals are short of everything beds medicine and oxygen at exit this crisis
