heard anything from the tatmadaw that's the official name for the military in myanmar this is part of this escalation we've seen fighting between armed ethnic organizations that really occupy the borderlands or surround the center parts of myanmar there are many different groups but the kitchin independence army is one that has really kind of been engaged in heavier battles more frequent battles with the army since the coup on february 1st so this is i guess kind of of the latest round if you will they claim pretty soon after i would say maybe 2 or 3 hours after they said they brought down this helicopter which was 10 am this morning that they did in fact bring it down this again they say is retaliation for airstrikes that happened overnight sunday into monday today and then also on monday morning they said they were tallied because the helicopter involved was attacking position their positions but also they said that earlier in the day there were fighter aircraft doing the same columbia's finance minister has resigned after that the protests

the. minister to go to start a conversation with the government that seems to be the case we know that the minister has indeed presented his resignation but that has not been confirmed yet by the president they've been holding a meeting now for a number of hours deciding how to move forward but we also understand that the. good minister will have to go because it would be a nonstarter for other parties to start negotiating a new tax reform with the government also the committee of the strike said that this will not be enough though to stop the demonstrations they feel that now is the time to maintain pressure on the government they feel the government is weak and they're making new demands among them they're now asking to dismantle.

peacefully but there have been a number of instances of looting and violence of public property of bus stations in buses here in the capital in cali and other cities across the country but in particularly the most of the violence has happened at night. and there's a little information that we still have a clear information of just how many people have died this so far in these protests the colombia's national. man the human rights office of the government which is an independent entity has now said on monday just hours ago that 17 people have died 16 protesters and one policeman but they're also saying that more days that have happened in the country since wednesday are being investigated on the other hand though the government says that the violence has been coordinated by

colombia's illegal armed group and they're saying that the police and the army that have been deployed to the streets are responding to criminal gangs essentially any site of the intelligence information to to to say this but he didn't really show any other evidence and a lot of people say that this is just the government trying to cover up for what has been an extremely violent response by the police and the army to these protests according to the protesters in a number of human rights are getting these ations both here in colombia and internationally and. the latest from bogota listen to thank you. still to come in this half hour some odd never ending drought aid agencies say that 3000000 people have been displaced by climate crises and conflict and the epic
