the in the gun capital calling me, i've been some i really maternity clinic killing pregnant women need wives and baby one or when he struggled to afghanistan or even newborns are targets on al jazeera . ah, a green warning. the un says violence in eastern young mar could cause a massive your life beyond anything seen in the military seas. our ah, you're watching al jazeera line from bill with me for the back. people also coming up a court hearing, seeking to permanently bad jail, russian opposition fall edition election of on these organisation is under way in

moscow. know to hatred into islam of phobia. no to terror and 2 races. remembering victims of hate of age, all these have in canada to honor a muslim family killed when they were run over by a truck and a top us diplomatic uses nicaragua, the president of being a dictator as to more potential challenges in upcoming elections are arrested. ah, a massive loss of life beyond anything seen since myanmar military sees power if there's no immediate action. that's the warning from the you and human rights envoy on the situation nice and kaya state. thomas andrew says, more than a 100000 people have been forced to leave their homes, he's accusing the military of carrying out indiscriminate as strikes against civilians and blocking access to aid people in kaya has set up on both to resist

the military june to which has been cracking down on descent, sin seizing power in february, the threshold opera tour on human rights mark told us earlier, those were fleeing our desperate they've gone into for us. and now we're getting reports that they are have little to no water food. there are people getting sick and they have no access to medical supplies. and what we've also learned is that the hunter is blocking roach that could provide to aid organizations and those who are trying to get to them access to these people. and i've also heard a report, a credible report to just to day. but landmines are being laid on the roads leading to the forests where these desperate people are. so we could be looking not only at the impact of the bombing itself, but we could be looking at a significant loss of life here in this,

in this part of me and more. if people are not able to get food, water, and medical supplies, that they so desperately needed to it's a real, real humanitarian crisis that's emerging here in, in kind of well, the big problem we have right now is that 8 is being blocked. and so there are many that would like to get 80 in, but they're unable to get it in. and so the, the most important thing right now is number one, anyone with leverage on mean on line that the leader of the hunter use whatever leverage they have to get into, lift this blockade and allow these people to get the food and medicine and water that they took so desperately need and secondly to stop this indiscriminate disproportionate bombing of these, of these villages. and then finally, i think now more than ever, it's critical for the international community to work very, very hard to cut off access to the revenue that and weapons that, to this,

this who needs to carry on this brutality. well, let's take a closer look at where the worst fighting in myanmar has been taking place. the military launch as attacks on the eastern kaya state, where a group calling itself be cover any people's defense for. so k, d, k, p d f is based. it's one of many forces that have emerged in the army seize power 4 months ago. another group that's taken up arms is the chin non defense force in the west. at least 6 members were killed last month when the army entered the town of mean that many long standing ethnic on groups are threatening to fight the military . they include the carry, national liberation, army, one of me on mars, oldest and largest struggle groups based in came state. there's also been violence in shan state where at least 20 officers were killed in may. when find a storm, the police station in the fall, nor speak a chain independence army has also criticize a job and reportedly attack police and military posts that speak to feel robinson

about all this. he's the deputy asian director with human rights watch, and he's joining us via skype from banking, neighboring thailand, thank you for being with us. failed. so fighting on, on several fronts in myanmar. first of all, why has the military escalated its response when just a few months ago in april i believe it had told a saying needed that it would end violence. well, clearly lied to us to try to get the pressure from the international community to go away. what we have seen since that asi on meeting was the military has gotten down to business. and in these areas, in eastern chaos state around demo. so township, what we're seeing a standard operating procedure by the me and martin military to treat anybody in conflict areas as enemies of the states who can be attacked with impunity. and this is why we're seeing the indiscriminate taxed by air and by artillery,

sending in ground troops who, you know, if they see civilians on the ground, no shoot them. and that's why people are fleeing into the jungles to escape these waves of myanmar military coming to try to find the insurgents who previously attacked them at the un special rapid tor has warned of mass deaths from salvation disease. and exposure is the military deliberately starving people. well, we believe that they're blockading this area. this is again, something they do on a regular basis. they will deny humanitarian assistance to any area where they believe there is resistance to their rule. so, you know, food is not getting through the potable water medicine, other things that people needa, people are hiding in the jungles in the middle of the monsoon season. you know, we're dealing with issues there of water born disease is certainly diseases or mosquitoes and other things. people who have been wounded in attacks. we're not

getting a treatment. it is a humanitarian disaster. and for the military to block humanitarian aid, getting into that area, compounds the atrocities that they're already committing. right. the united nation feel robertson also warning that the crisis could push people across international borders. kaya state borders, thailand. of course, to, to what extent is tyler now so being affected by, by what's happening in young law, and what role could it play? well, thailand should open its border and allow for a free flow of humanitarian assistance to go across there. are you mandatory in groups in thailand who are prepared to help? there are many who are prepared to take that assistance across. but what we have seen is a real lockdown on the time me and mar border by the time military and border patrol. police trying to control and make sure that no. busy one can go back and forth and, you know, that's just odd re reality on the border,

which is very porous. so there will be people coming across, fleeing from the fighting in, in our state. and i think that the problem is that the ties are trying to round them all up and send them all back. you know, it is a, it is a, a security response to humanitarian situation. it's unconscionable and unacceptable . and no time needs to change its policy. right, and which country feel robertson could apply pressure on me on mars military today? it's been a lot of talk, of course about china's role in china's influence on young was military, could, could china be the one applying pressure on, on the military to end this fine? well, i think that trying to certainly could, but i think trying to probably won't. there was a meeting between me and mar, foreign minister and the chinese foreign minister just the other day and in china and these sort of issues didn't come out. i think what we need to see is japan, which is considered to be a very close friend of me and mar, the historical friend,

needs to be stepping up and saying very clearly to me online and others that look, you know, there has to be a different way of doing this and, you know, taking it out on civilians in this way is just unacceptable. thank you very much for talking to us feel robertson from human rights want showing a fair lie from bank. thanks for your time to russia now, where a court in moscow is hearing a petition to outlaw political organizations linked to jail. opposition leader likes in a volley if approved, it will band of on these allies from running in parliamentary elections later this year. the case is being brought by moscow's top prosecutor, was accused navarro me, and his supporters of trying to launch a revolution. the crammed in critic is serving a 2 and a half year prison sentence for parole. violations related to an embezzlement conviction. brenda smith is in moscow. for his joins us now lie, so the hearing has begun over the fate of nevada. these organisation, how is the prosecution? bernard arguing its case today before this is

a hearing taking place behind closed doors. no press, no public allowed. the information we're getting is from the defense team that's in the court. and it is saying that the prosecution says that the voluntary anti corruption organization is called the f b k. was trying to change the constitutional regime and power in the country, so, so called color for the circle color revolution. no protests started in russia at the end of december 2011 after parliamentary elections, widely perceived as being rigged. this is when those protested on the prosecution is also arguing that in order to achieve what it calls these destructive goals, the f, b, k is forming public opinion that it's necessary to change power in the country. and the defense will say, well, yes, that's how democracy is supposed to work, is supposed to try and persuade people to vote for another person in order to change the regime or change the power. but anyway, this is the, the argument,

the prosecution is using fully. so what will happen if the court agrees with a prosecution while the practical consequences of this 10 years in jail for anybody found being in a leadership role of what is defined as a terrorist organization, this is the, this is the group. but in the volunteers, anti corruption organization couldn't find it so classified in 2 to 8 years in jail or anyone found funding these organizations. now add to this, that a couple of weeks ago, russia, parliament passed a law binding. anybody who in the last 3 years has been a member of an extremist organization from standing for election in the future. a law clearly targeted without naming nevada and these anti corruption group on what you have is the government using the court of parliament effectively shutting down almost any possible avenues. there are to stand in opposition to the government or

even to voice opposition to the government. and all this is being put in place had of elections in september where although blood emit putin personally remains popular in russia is his party, united, russia is not a not so popular is facing challenges bernice. thank you for that bernice smith line for us there in moscow. and he's 10 non mind clearing workers have been killed in afghanistan. the government is being the taliban, but it's denied responsibility police. a gunman entered a compound in northern bank land province and opened fire. the province has seen an increase in violence in recent months. canada, the prime minister justin toto has described the killing of a muslim family as a terror attack. a vigil has been held for the 4 victims who died after being run over by a pickup truck relative calling on people to stand up against racism. and islamic

where he promised to go after and dismantle hate groups and curve online hate speech that has fueled islam of phobia and hate crimes leaders from across the political spectrum pledged to do the same. but conservative politicians taking the mike were forced to speak over the boeing crowd. ah, many blame candidates, conservative leaders of enslaving hatred for political gain on behalf of the people of ontario of a province left in the morning. i'd like to extend my deepest sympathies, leader of the new democrats, judged me saying, who ran against trudeau in the last election, received a much warmer welcome. i

we have children that are worried that they might look to muslim if they were a hedge. this active tier was committed with the purpose of driving fear into the hearts of the muslim community. so i want to see to my sister's that were her job to my brothers the raptor head. we will not cower in fear. we were our turban, our, her job with pride, because we are proud of who we are. members of the muslim community shared words of hope, but also anger at what they describe as systemic and prevailing islam of phobia. we are all victims of perverse slumber phobia, or pervasive and perverse islam of phobia in our society. and we all pay a price for that hatred. we cannot be satisfied as long as our national security agencies still seem more obsessed with us than those that are killing us. the vigil

you're watching al jazeera life from do a recap of our top stories. the united nations is warning of a massive loss of life in eastern myanmar. if no immediate action is taken, its accusing security forces in this cabinets as strikes against civilians who have been resisting the military june, which has been clocking down on defense and seizing power in a russian court. his hearing a petition dropped off political organizations linked to jail, opposition leader. relaxing a balmy, if approved it were band of on these on eyes from running in parliamentary elections paid to this year. and eventual has been held in canada for a muslim family, killed him. what the prime minister said was a terrorist attack, motivated by hate. 4 members of the same family died after being run over by a pickup truck to albany, and where the parliament is holding an extraordinary session that could end with the impeachment of president alia, met. it follows an investigation that concluded he should be voted for violating

the constitution. the president's role is considered a political, but matter has regularly clash with prime minister. eddie rama. john strapless is in toronto for the capital of albania, joins us live, tell us more. first, join about the accusations, the albanian president is facing hello, fully the ruling socialist party accuses president matter of abandoning his obligation to political neutrality and to put in the party system. he apparently came out in favor of the democrats when he told albanians to protect the vote and told them that it's a single vote has touched on election day shopping, your pitchforks. these were bob's aimed at the ruling socialist who were running the election. who were the incumbents in this election? and it is no secret here that president met the prime minister rama. and now they, for political enemies. this is an enmity that goes back at least to the local

elections of 2019. when the 2 men disagreed on the timing, that's because the elections had been, had been abandoned, had been boycotted by the opposition democrats and protest against the government. they then regretted that decision, when they decided to come back into the election field and can bring candidates forward. there wasn't enough time. president message said, let's postpone them until september the prime minister roman system, holding them in june with only socialist party candidates. and of course, he took the country's municipalities, but ever since then, press private us to run his accused president matter of having forms and alliance with the opposition democrats. so there is a political context here, the good. okay. back well beyond the recent fundamental election. so, so what happens and what's the likelihood that the president will be voted out and what happens if he is well the ruling socialists have $74.00

seats in the 140 feet chamber. they need 20 more. the only party that can give them those seats is the opposition democratic party, which has $59.00. so it would appear that in order to have this session, a tool, there is some sort of understanding between the ruling party and the opposition democrats that they will oust matter. that remains to be seen. the vote takes place a couple of hours from now. if the socialists get the opposition votes they need, then president massa would still have recourse to the constitutional court. that court would decide whether he would ultimately leave office. john, thank you very much for that, john serrano. i live in tirana, i'll be new. he taught us diplomat for latin america says the crackdown on descent in nicaragua proves present. daniel ortega is a dictator for opposition. politicians hoping to challenge the president november's

election have been arrested alexia bryan, has the details. heading into a meeting with prosecutors before his arrest presidential hopeful, felix married the goat with defiant, saying he dedicated to life to the future of freedom and wouldn't back down if it's out of the look at in a spot everything that might come in a way the regime is the true minority compared to a nation, that one's work. a nation that wants freedom of peace and justice. and that's what we're doing. and i think a lot of the aga is accused of terrorism and backing international sanctions against the nic raglin government. but a supporters say the allegations are part of an intensifying crackdown on descent. and if it's my president, daniel ortega to eliminate any challenges for his office. met at the ag, his lawyer says the opposition politician has been beaten and custody would be a strong blow with a fist in the face. then another blow to blows and my youngest face and is rather stuck. there are the acts of aggression carried out by the police when they were taking us out of the vehicles. but at the aga is the 4th potential presidential

candidate to be detained in recent days. on tuesday, police also arrested one sebastian tomorrow, and when february accused to police of using surveillance to intimidate him last week, his cousin christiana tomato, was put under house arrest, just hours after she announced plans to run against the president of november's election. the sparks protest outside her home last month, her brothers independence news outlet was rated by police. another candidate, arturo cruise was detained on saturday for allegedly conspiring against nicaraguan society, the detention to being called a clear infringement of the freedom of expression in arbitrary rad. they're all of this is a desperate attempt by the dictatorship is to make us give up the electoral road to peacefully resolve the deep economics and social crisis that they themselves have provoked. the tomorrow families deeply entwined, and daniel will take his political career, christiane, his mother,

the later became president in 1990. asking ortega after his 1st and power since his return to office in 2007. right. groups of accused president ortega, of authoritarian rule, and leading to brutal suppression of anti government protests and 2018 which more than 300 people were killed. ortega and allies say they're defending nicaragua, sovereignty against hostile foreign influence and sanctions. now, protests, a band and most opposition parties disqualified ortega and his wife, who to vice president had been sanctioned by the u. s. and the european union. the top us diplomat on latin america, julia chung, has called international action. and the latest arrests, a further proof of ortega's disregard for democracy. alex here brian al jazeera peruvians are still waiting to learn who will be the next president with

a narrow margin separating the left wing and right wing rivals. hotel says i've taken 3 swiss support from both sides, claiming voter fraud. the latest results from sundays run off to jeff left. his candidate federal castillo has secured 50 percent of the vote is conservative rival cape felicia murray has 49 percent. only 2 percent of the votes are still to be counted. i and a sanchez has this report from protest in lima quarters up here at the bar nation. i love the girl girl says that both angry material official, the protest moved by the front allegation by the candidate. muddy said they are here. protect our vote. it hasn't been a clean process. castillo's sister was an election observer. that's bad. and there have been many other irregularities, it's unacceptable you don't have to separate money order.

2 2 waiting for the finish, the balance counting. they are here because a lot different in democracy. we are here to defend or vote because there is front, but by kicker for he marty, we will fight. and so the last vote is counted, electron official going into national monitor. so the elections have been transparent at the front of the game gas nato making voters on both sides of the result. 2 the u. s. congress has the federal government had credible tape, so gonna talk on the capital building in january, but didn't do anything. investigators say that 4 weeks police had intelligence that supporters of been president, donald trump, were planning to stop the certification of joe biden. selection, wait, while in jordan reports, we usually work a couple of hours during the trial. the pollings calls for back up unanswered,

angry crowds, breaking in unimpeded. a bi partisan congressional report calls the response to the january 6th, the tap on the us capital. a failure of intelligence preparation and imagination, a failure. it says lead to the death of 7 people, including 3 police officers. the intelligence was out there and we know that now, in fact, at the time, many of us knew that you all reporting that there was, you know, online chatter about violence, connected with that gathering. so to me, it was just amazing that that intelligence didn't get in the right hands here. yeah, the report says, because no one shared the intelligence capital, police and national guard units weren't equipped and ready to head off any violent protest. we will never give up. we will never can see, and once the crowds leaped rally at the white house where the capital, the report says the breach and the violence were inevitable. but this report does

not analyze why the protest happened at all. which is why most sen say they want an independent 911 style commission. there are a lot of other questions that need to be asked in terms of why the district or what motivated folks to descend on the capital to engage in what was an insurrection? those are questions that need to be asked and answered, and the commissioner would be able take a more full. so look at that. the chances of that happening are diminishing mainly because of partisan in fighting. democrats accuse republicans of trying to protect a former president. donald trump and his administration, while republican say democrats are blowing politics of their own. one of my big problems with the january 6 commission that was outlined the, the members, the commissioners, and the staff is going to be appointed by congressional leadership. so again, i how, how do you get to the bottom of tension, what congressional leadership noon when they didn't know the report calls for more

intelligence sharing and more training exercises and improved oversight. but it can't address the bigger issue. why did people who call themselves patriots try to overthrow their government on january 6th, rosalyn jordan elders era, washington? ah, no. again, i'm fully battle with the headlines on al jazeera, the united nations is warning of a major loss of life in eastern myanmar, if no immediate action is taken. if accusing security forces of indiscriminate s ranks against civilians armed whoops have been resisting the military gender. that's cracked down on defense and seizing power in february. a court in russia is hearing a petition to outlaw political organizations links to jailed opposition leader next se, navarro me if approved, it will ban. yvonne is allies from running in.
