2:10 pm
i thought the minister's comments about him not being held captive is, was, was so history. the fact is, once a visa holders are these, are the strategies cancelled by our mandatorily on the law required to be held in detention. i'm saying he must be held in detention. there is no, there is no choice. he's not prevented from leaving australia, but he cannot walk around australia. so these are that mr. joker, which applied for was an online visa, which has an auto grant function. the government has the option of turning the auto grant function on or off, depending on circumstance. in this instance, appear that the auto grant function was turned on and they would know alerts relating to mr. jock reaching the system. and as a result, the computer graphics him a visa, a call, we'll decide whether joker, which can stay and compete in the australian open under simmons. now. oh, so the serbian parliament in belgrade protest is jones in support of their national

2:13 pm
to that. what not now is that this is a political persecution that everyone is taking part interest. even your strain and prime minister jock of each had thought the path was clear for his attempt to the 21st grand slam. instead, he faces what could be a road block, and with it a world wide debate on whether he's been fairly treated. andrew simmons ouch is it? well, stella had in the news. china may have stamped out a cove at night scene outbreak in one of its cities. the people living there complaining about how they were treated. and nigeria tries a new approach against criminal gangs behind mass kidnapping. ah, ah, look forward to brighter sky's the weather. sponsored my cattle airways. how i once again welcome to the look at the international forecast. we've got more rain and

2:17 pm
60 people in nigeria is northwest in some forest state. it happened when armed gangs were fleeing attacks by the military. i'll just serious about us and bar isn't a boot to join us live from then. so for that 1st or how did this gang in some forest still managed to kill so many civilians when they were already on the run from the military? well defined me and this gang, i have always a pretty said indifferent communities. this is a fast area with, you know, not just in fact i will also have orders please have call me on that repeated at passed by these groups. and these letters attack happened between wednesday and thursday when they were fleeing from military bombardments. because in recent weeks, the military had stepped up, i passed on these groups and why writing? he went to these communities and healed some of the women and children, and also some men that they could find along the way and adopted a few that are,
2:18 pm
that were run away for the 50. and when the military made at times to come back to try to dislodge the groups the run into the villages and use the villagers as humana shield, which is actually something really watering because before now and it just carry attacks and run away. but this is more like a new approach to the attacks on communities there. now being designate to this terrorist groups talk to us about what opperation a difference that makes in how these gangs combat it. and also the political context of this because this is a sensitive time for the president politically, isn't it? well now that we've been designated us terrorists actually empowers the military to go all out. because recently the country, a class on fighter jets and other military hardware that they couldn't deploy,
2:19 pm
it gives me a criminal gangs or because before now they were just involved in rob m robbery attacks and communities which they could really deploy these military hardware. both none that they've been liberal tire in. the military is going to use some of these 5 projects to really flushed him out from the strongholds and in the countries been talking points. the president has probably just put them on how much he has promised to a show that a security reduce. this was actually his problem is in 2015 when he came into office. he did promise that if you months from when he was sworn in that case, he would use rather we've had attacks up on attacks and ahead of the elections. now this will be more like an opportunity for him to realize that he's authority, essentially in terms of military authority to ensure that these terrorists are flushed from a stronghold so that people can be rest assured that you know the safe in the
2:20 pm
country. and then again, this will count so much in terms of elections because it lead security is a major talking points ahead of elections. and that you read just have a little bit of a year because elections will be held in february of 2023. so if he does like, maybe for his problem is to flush them out, it will be a big plus for him and his party. all right, thanks so much for that. a simba combat is prime minister, is become the 1st foreign leader to visit me in miles military rulers, and then says he's there to help. and the violence that's been going on since the general fees power almost a year ago, he's representing the association of southeast asian nations. but the blog is divided on how to deal with the johnson. coo opponents in me in law and abroad, accuse and sent over the just my think the military regime. tony chang is following the visit from bangkok in labouring time. all across melma or over the last couple

of days, people have been posting images on social media of them stamping on pictures of anson burning pictures of him. a people have bombarded his facebook page as official facebook page with so many negative comments. his actually had turned them off, or his staff had sternum or so i think there's very little expectation that he will engage with the so called opposition. the people who oppose the crew in the military government and the military itself is said at this stage, there's very little chance that he'll meet any of those leaders particularly uncensored she and when meant the former president who have been locked up since eric, who in february of last year, what he does in to achieve it is really quite hard to determine. his foreign minister said in statements a couple of days ago that myanmar currently has all the ingredients for a country which is heading toward civil war. i think perhaps the best way to view this is through the lens of hans and himself. he's
2:22 pm
a leader who's been in power for 36 years. he's just nominate his, his son, his successor. he seems to be preparing to step down. but if he could step into the, into this very difficult situation and cast himself in the role of peacemaker, it might give him a legitimacy and a legacy which will go beyond just the boundaries of cambodia itself. and put him as a really significant player on a global stage. nonetheless, it is a very complicated situation and it's one which is fraught with danger. now there's anger in the chinese city of shyanne about how people were treated during a strict lockdown. city leaders are talking up the success of their actions saying a cobit 90 and outbreak has been stamped out. katrina, you reports from bay. jing chinese health officials say there's been a turning point in the city of she. anne, with 30000000 people have been under locked down since the 23rd of december,
