mm ah ah, for me. okay, and your in the stream today i look at 3 stories making headlines in asia. now remember, you can be part of our conversation today. you cheap shot is open, let me know your thoughts and i will do my best to reach them in the show. but getting that false, we're doing a lot today. coming up a new law in singapore is raising concerns about a crackdown on descent. and could the korean peninsula be closer to peace than ever

before? we start this episode a me a mom, 9 months off to the coo is me, him are becoming a failed state, a strong and continue so redone people's around to well and community. there is a direct result continue story directly and krisha from the community. i went over and no ones i had to now bear with me more than an hour on the zone each handle what a. so we want to democracy babylon for you, then, bye. and this is a revolution progress we want. everyone would not hear back in the very beginning to be angry. we are joined by wayne in

a human rights activist and senior advocacy officer boma campaign you k when a welcome back to the stream the the initial question that we asked is, is me and mom becoming a failed state 9 months after co and thank you for having me again on the show, i would say a pin february, a lot of people's life have been change atrocities happening every day. people being arrested, people being killed, the military continue to commit atrocities with such impunity. whether burma is becoming a fail, they don't know. international community has a huge responsibility because burma has a legitimate government that the people voted for. and the military stage, the crew because they didn't like the result. and they want to control the power and in ethnic areas, there are so many ethnic armed organizations, which is very organized, which is very strategic. so we have all these things in place. and the military is

the one that no one wants the military to be in power. no one wants the military dictatorship in the country, and people are risking their lives every day until now. there are protest happening despite the fact that military arrest any one they see. but the really sad thing is that we haven't seen any support or at least an effective action coming from the international community to support these movements. and people, you know, holding signs in english because they really want the international community to help. and we know that there are so many things that, you know, international community can do. and but they have failed up for so long and they have filled us one, the genocide of the you happen in 2017. they have failed us since february. so you know, we know they can do things. so it is our duty to keep pushing for them to take effective action against the military and hold them accountable. when you say that there hasn't been international pressure, but i am looking at a remarkable shot of my laptop. this is the piano meeting that helps us state from

asia here. and i'm just seeing this box here. me emma know 40 is here because they haven't been invited. they've been excluded. i have to say this is an organization, a group that choice not to, to, to actually speak out about what is happening in your own country. that is your own business. it tends to be quite ignore the stick about that they to not be invited to at the ad isn't not international pressure regional pressure, i would say an ascii and we has a policy all non interference. they want to go down the engagement route with, you know, with the military, but even the ascii and decide not as i said, not to invite the military and isn't really good symbolic gesture. and because of that we have, and because of all the pressure we have seen the release of political business, there is an example that the international pressure can work and it works and the

military and then there is no immune to it. but the problem is that, well, let's talk about global arms and wagner. despite the fact that military's been breaking international law for decades, there is no arms embargo on. and despite the fact that military committed genocide against their hinge and ethnic cleansing, against the ethnic minorities in my country for decades, there is no justice and accountability measure against the military. and one of the main sanctions call we have been calling for is to stop the revenue coming from the oil and gas sector. because this is the biggest income for the nice military. they won't be using these money, they're using these money to buy a weapons. but none of these actions are being done at the moment, and we have been calling all these 3 action since february. and we haven't seen that. yes, we've seen some sanctions against the burmese military companies and businesses,

but it needs to be more. so i want to bring in one more voice into our conversation, and that is a human rights actually, activists, the executive director, imaging, social harmony organization. he has a warning warning slash appeal for the international community. have a listen wayne. and i would like to do the division of unity, no to rebel and military grew the group and especially grew met they render to the domestic accountability for what they have done to the and we believe when they will get it when they will forgive my name thought, you know, there are so many and it will, it seems a little last week. it was great to see families being were united with each other, but we have to remember that they shouldn't have been in prison in the 1st place,

let alone going through the whole chair and trauma or being torture and being in prison with inhumane treatment. and many people have been re arrested on the same day, ought to be relieved. and all these released people, they will be able to go back to their old life. they won't be able to get the job, they will be able to go back to their job or get new job because they have criminal record. so many lives been destroyed because of one man may on lines ahead of the very nice military me wants to control and take control of the power and take control of the well that, you know, in the country is such a devastating situation in the country at the moment when you thank you so much for coming back to see us on the stream. i know of asking you back another time, but for now we appreciate your time to singapore where the passage of the foreign interference counter measures bill or future has rights. groups concerned you know,

is alarming and dangerous. and they don't speak of preventing meddling and domestic . and her actually trying to show can find the financing of dissenting voices. the law is not only harmful to those credit called the government. there's also abroad in vague enough to like any utility relating to politics, social justice, and other matters, public interest. the not only is against independent media. so society, but also good target academia and gave him hon industry because of how the government there is a limited oversight of this law. no country leading and focused the penalties. beka allows authorities to compel internet service providers and social media platforms to provide use the information block content and remove apps. the government teams hostile legislation will also target for funding of groups

identified as being politically significant. the government says the english speaker is to protect it, sovereignty. joining us to share her thoughts on speaker coca cola. adam, allay a community organizer in singapore. i keep thinking co killer. why? why do you need this bill? in sample? you know, it's, it's become very clear both from the debate and parliament and all the government rhetoric around it that this law is really meant to crack down on local descent in the name of national sovereignty and preventing a malicious disinformation campaigns. and one of the most dangerous things about this low is how it undermines trans specials on the very beginning, you were just talking about the burmese military. and there are many bernice living in singapore who would not be able to participate in the local solidarity campaign to speak up about the issues in their homeland because of the law like right,

so if there are, there are more than 1500000 non residents living in singapore and this law really alienates their voices and their participation in local politics and sneaking up even on social issues. i want to share this with you. this is a move out. he twisted us just a little bit earlier. he knew we were going to be talking about speaker, he says, a bit overboard, but maybe necessary. how do they balance national security of globalization and into national relations? we all know too much, as actualization is not good for any country. well, trade or global economy. your thought to new ad? well, if you look at the, the law itself they're, it's just extremely broad. it's the language is worded so broadly that any communication or collaboration with a non singapore in on matters of social or political interest could be criminalized or prohibited. or this could,

this law could mean that anyone can be designated to politically significant, just be merely on the basis of, of the minister for home affairs and government authorities, suspecting you, without any evidence. and once your designated politically significant, you have to provide any information. the ask for you have to comply with any directions to take down information. and you'll be subject to a whole range of restrictions and control that the government can place on you, which could really intimidate any kind of local support. so i think one of the things that's really important to recognize about speaker is that while it is being marketed by the state of the law, that's going to prevent foreign intervention, malicious, boring, dimension. in local politics. what it will do is intimidate a lot of local supporters of critics and dissenters and activists, an independent media publications. because in such an authoritarian environment, a lot of people rely on their anonymity to support these efforts. and now they will

no longer have the right to anonymity, because if i'm designated politically significant, government can ask me for the records of anyone who has ever contributed to my efforts, supported me financially or collaborated with me on any project. so all of these, i'm going to say, worst case scenario, how this bill? okay, if it, if it becomes law, could go wrong. the minister of how affairs the singapore says, this is a misunderstanding, happened, listen to the minister poker and then respond. i don't the back of the video i'm about to show it. there has been some degree of mr. representation on pico that this bull seeks to curtail normal interactions with, pardon us? oh, that is not true. singapore depends what had success in vitality on being open and go wondered, seeks to close down that will lead singapore to ruin. i

said the, the minister in the seamless parliamentary debate mentioned independent journalists and activists as examples of people who does law targets and who, whose activities that he labels as malicious could, could bell, be controlled under this law. so this is what's really troubling, right? is that, is that in a, in the same breath as seeing that this, this law is not going to target such ordinary collaboration activity. it really, very much has been proven by his, his very same comment guy in parliament. that this is what will be targeted. i have some questions, i'm going to find them at you really fast. this is rapid fire ok calculus or we can get in as many as possible. and he says, i think singapore is causing the line of democracy and legitimacy and social justice. by introducing such a law, for any descent from locals will be stamped out under this law. singapore has

learned their lesson quick response, very quick. i sorry i didn't understand. he thinks that singapore is crossing the line of democracy and legitimacy and social justice. by introducing such a law, definitely, i think this is one of the most undemocratic laws to ever be introduced in single hamis asked as the law apply to domestic political leaders who do not agree with whatever party or person is empower. definitely, yes. the automatic a designated. and john, this is final question from john john, this law is one way in which freedom of expression is cracked down on. if we use the russia and lead to the imprisonment of journalists, have you seen any initial impact so far? so you know, one of the important things about the law is that it is, it is extra legal of the courts context, overturn any of these positions by the government. the government issues direct directive. so there is definitely already been independent media outlets that have

said that they're shutting down because they won't be able to survive in this environment. or activists who are having to re look at their financial support that they get from different people. even collaborating with an embassy activists and my circles are reconsidering meetings reconsidering, texting because like texting over something like whatsapp, which is considered an encrypted platform to now be seen as covert collaboration with the foreign principal. kayla. thank you so much for sharing your insight with us. here on the stream take care. thank you. now we go to the korean peninsula. weather has been an escalation between the north and south in the show of power. but what will it lead to? it's difficult to see an off ramp from this interclean arms race. unless that to chris are able to exercise restraint and to engage in some kind of arms control which has failed in the past. now north korea spends about 25 percent of his g d p

on the military, where the south spends about 2.5 percent to about 2.8 percent of its g d p. so north korea should engage in arms control or it's going to spend too much on arms at a great sacrifice to the north korean people. however, engaging in restraint in arms control would contradict the states ideology and its view of arms and military power. as the source of its legitimacy and survival. love me north korea 5, at least one on the water ballistic missile. the late is in a series of recent miss out has the submarine launch cane just hours after the us reaffirms and offer to resume talks with north korea. young young has rejected offers from the south and the u. s. accusing both countries of talking diplomacy while engaging in the overall conceived military acts. sue came is

a policy analyst at the ran cooperation and a former c i analyst series. really get to to see you. thanks for being here on the stream. this idea of what is making needs on the korean peninsula and what makes news internationally about the very same act. it gave us some insight into that ballistic missile launch test. how, how is, how is that covered in south korea? so there was a recent, i believe it was a b o, a report where the reporter interviewed. i'm a handful of soft grain citizens to get their take on how, how they did the threats. i believe the majority of the respondents said that they don't see it as a threat. it's basically business as usual and reported called it basically alarm the cheek. so the south korean population, they, ironically, of course, they share border with, with north korea. and so you would think that the country that is most proximate to

the rep that lives with the threat is going to feel the threat much more palpably than say, the united states or even japan. i think this is a question about if we're talking about how they're viewing the threat, i think it's a question about conditioning. so are they conditioned through to the threat because they actually think that the country is ready militarily, politically, et cetera, et cetera, to deal with them for 3 and publication. or are they conditioned in a way that we're, you know, they just feel like the threat is something that they just don't take seriously anymore because it's just so repetitive. if it's the ladder, i think it's problematic because as dr. pinkson mentioned and shot the g d p to military spending between north korean south korea is quite different. north korea prioritizes military development, nuclear development. whereas south korea,

by virtue become bach, prosy, much more advanced, integrated into the international community. you're basically able to diversify your priorities, and i think this is where there's questions about, you know, educate things better about threats, whether or not they actually are being basically fed the type of information that they need in order to, to properly understand the context. and also the intentions of cheap international relations with the company is more than just us career peninsula relations. but certainly the last us administration make quite a big deal out about their relationship with both north korea and south korea. i want to phosphor to current us korean peninsula relations. this is linda thomas greenfield. she's the us ambassador to the you and this is what she just said. just last week, have a listen. our position remains clear. the dpr k must abide by the security council resolutions,

and it is time to engage in sustained and substantive dialogue toward the goal of complete d nickel or a zation of the korean peninsula. we have offered to meet the d p r k officials without any preconditions and we have made clear that we whole no hostile intent toward the dpr k. unpack that for us, so short. so this is not, you know, from, i think the grander scheme of us are 3 relations and seeing north korean behavior out. white be ambassador to be one is actually asking for, is, is not anything new. it's not anything more aggressive. i think it's just the united states plainly asking one north korea to to really just stop. it's regular facts to consider dialogue and to really think about and i guess i think i'll be going on tension on this, but be the bottom line. the question or the biggest concern,

of course is the weapons, but i think more concerning is going to be the intentions of kim john. i'm the leader. i believe the 1st speaker mentioned something about one man basically holding decision. one man basically being the 1st of all the problems. we could probably apply the same thing to north korea where decisions are basically made by one person, the nuclear deterrent it exists to protect him john and his regime. so i think what the investor was asking for a course with north korea, of course, the stock it's publications and then to for the international committee to really think about the threat seriously of course. but actually take the steps and follow through. and also to call out the, the countries that are not complying or performing with the, the sanctions. she did not, i don't think name the specific countries, but i believe she was going or talking about china and russia. so again,

this is just calling out north korea for june for his bad behavior. and i think you look at the way the united states has had had been treating north korea from 2017 to 2020 we didn't really punish north korea for it's bad behavior. i think north korea just was able to, to do what it wanted without any sort of constant kind of anything. i think we have to the future questions for you. we're going to pick your brain. thank you. john. first shown this one with us. how does the north import materials to assemble weapons despite being sanctioned? brief wants to see and it's again going back to the sanctions and north re being able to participate and get the help from countries like china and russia in other countries that are not complying with the sanctions. and it's able to import the technology and also extract he critical materials from those technologies are being imported into the country. i'm the warrior is asking you for some prognostication

that see if you're up to that. so let me ask this, is there any way north korea and south korea will become one whole korea like germany date? isn't it high time they were united? safe? sure. i think that's the aspiration that the people of north korea and south korea would like to see. again, they are deficient. i think it has to do with politics and from north grades perspective it, everything basically rests on cam john's decisions. so i think that is aspirational, not in that it's been shorted, but it's aspiration that it's something that we want to see, but it just takes steps to get there. what to, you know, that's going on behind the scenes that may well mean that no korean south career a talking to negotiating, they have relationship. what would you share with us you know, the be, i guess the irony or the realities of politics in any country is that you don't

really hear about what's actually happening now until there's a change. yeah. based. right. so based on what we know about the recall interaction for up to this point, it's been very much one sided. where's all 3 been wanting to talk to north be for a while? and as far as we can child in the public sphere, we haven't really seen any reciprocating stuff from north korea. so i think we would assume that there is nothing going on behind the scenes. but again, north korea knows that south korea wants to talk that wants to, especially under the motor ministration, wants to make progress. and within the next few months, the remaining months in his office. so again, this is, you know, we probably won't see what's going to be happening between the 2 countries until are taking over. but yet, and that is our program. did it for today. i have, do you have a story that you want to see our feet up picked just at a stream,

and your idea may, will be on the stream. thanks for watching us the next time. ah ah ah ah, the climate has changed every year for millions a year, decades of talk, but little action. it's all about distract, create confusion, a smoke and mirrors the shocking truth about how the climate debate has been systematically supported. the oral industry was

a main bank roller or opposition to clock back the campaign against the climate. do you think that's a bad thing? more shoots with? absolutely. on august the planet is approaching a tipping point in the lead up to the cup $26.00 climate summit al jazeera showcase is program dedicated to one veiling the realities of the climate. to my 2 witnesses green films documenting the human experience on the frontline planet. at the wet report from green and on how the rapid rate of melting ice is having a profound effect on the population. people empower us why politicians have been affected in fighting climate change. fault lines, investigate horizon temperatures, appealing a water war in the us. al, just they were well shows how a community in senegal is dependent on the preservation of the natural resources.

the green takes the fight, the climate justice to our digital community, and upfront it's hard, demanding environmental accountability. the climate emergency, a season of special coverage on al jazeera. you want to help save the world, sneeze into your elbow. on the volga in london, the top stories on al jazeera sedans, military leader says he dissolved the country's interim government and seized power to avoid civil war. now, military sources tell al jazeera prime minister, abdullah ham dock has been taken back to his residence. he'd been detained since monday's coop. hipaa morgan reports some cartoon. oh, zillow is your clinical uses. it was not a cool. that's the message from the dance military leader who overthrew the interim

government. on monday, the general abdel for the hon says he took power to help for dance transition to democracy and avoid a civil war. but that was what we have experienced a bottleneck of occasions where we had to stand up to the prime.
