8:01 am
due to meet the coming out and will he play the australian open a melvin cortez tennis? saw novak joker, which is appeal against deportation. ah, we bring you breaking news right now. a cold in myanmar has convicted ousted lita ang, send a shoe cheek. she's been sentenced to 4 years in jail. so she was on. busy trial for the legal possession of walkie talkies and breaking various current a virus roles. tony chang is been following the story for us on from bangkok and joins us now. tony bring us up to date with the latest what we've just heard from her lawyers that she was found guilty on all 3 charges she was facing. one was for import export for violating import export regulations.
8:02 am
the 2nd was for violating communications laws. and the 3rd was for breaking cove at regulations against mia mars natural disasters. management law for the import export infringement. she's got 2 years for the communications law. she's been sentenced to one year and for the breaking covered regulations. she's got another 2 years. the 1st 2 charges will be served concurrently, so that's effectively 4 years in total. but we may see as we saw the last time she was sentenced to 4 years a couple of months ago that the military intervenes and reduces her sentence, which they did last time. to 2 years in total, to be served under house arrest in napier door, the capital of myanmar. but at this stage, what this is just adding more years or on an already existing sentence, that, that will mean she will be at least 18 by the time she is released from detention. and i think the, the message here is very clear from the military that they are taking her out of the picture. she has one elections since she's been released from house arrest by
8:03 am
an absolute landslide and 2019, which is what prompted the military coup for february last year. and it seems the military at this stage, very keen to keep her out of the picture. but tony, this trial and fights are charles, she has been involved in the past. i've been criticized by human rights groups by judicial groups as being sham, not following, ah, any kind of a procedure. is that going to have an impact on her own? any appeal that she might be able to make think it's very unlikely. there were already some very serious flaws in this case, or particularly the, the one relating to the walkie talkies. the walk he took his were held by guards who were provided by the interior ministry. there, there the existence is a very distinctly listed in the miramar constitution as being under the control of the military. so of the military was complaining about those walkie talkies. it
8:04 am
really should have looked logically brought a case against itself. in addition, they were seized when they conducted the re just ahead of the military coup on february, the 1st 2021 or they have admitted that they didn't have a warrant for that, right? but i think we had to assume here that the course of the judiciary in myanmar is very much under the control of the military. these cases have been taking place without a jury in secret. any appeals process will also probably be very flawed if it happens at all. i think a, again, we're working on the assumption here that everything is under the control of the military, as it has been in the past. and there it sole intention is to keep her out of the picture and the other, the senior anal daily leaders who they've been, they've seized since the military co and who've also been undergoing charles. we haven't heard any more verdicts from those cases, but it's likely the seni and l d leadership and the politicians, the mere,
8:05 am
my military genta fear most will be kept under wraps for years to come. so tony, i this is a bit of a speculative question, but is this the end of the n l d is as the end of her party? that's a very difficult question to answer. she is very much a figurehead for people all across man. man has been for decades, she put herself right at the forefront of their fight to democracy. and we could see the resoundingly success of the anal the since jackson's took place and it be in the last 10 years. i think there is a feeling, however, that she has been out of the picture so much that a new generation needs to step forward. we did see a new generation of penalty and peace standing in the 2019 election. they didn't really get a chance to impose themselves on any sort of democratic growth in myanmar. ah, but what we're hearing now, it is very difficult to get an accurate picture of what's really happening on the
8:06 am
ground. a murmur, because very few journalists are able to get there. the sources that we speak to her, however, a telling us that that, that amongst them what they refer to as generations. either people who've been out on the streets, protesting and who continue to go out on the streets, despite the violent crackdowns that we've seen from the military. they are, they are dedicated to this cause and they want to push on regardless of what's happening to those senior leaders. and i think that something the military perhaps hasn't taken into account that what 10 years of democracy brought to me, emma was a feeling that there was a new dawn and new hope. and i think a lot of the people who are protesting and who are pushing back against military rule this time. as they still see door uncensored, she very much as a leader, but they're willing to push on without her. and if she is to be detained from by the military for, for years to come, i don't think that's gonna stop them. excellence of tony chang there from a bank or thank you very much. health care workers and people have
8:07 am
a 60 in india can now receive a current of virus booster shot the country. so it's the highest number of daily infections on monday. i mean, the only con variance infections are behind the surge, and experts of warned upcoming religious gatherings could see a repeat of high infections seen last year. now paul ne metal joins is from a vaccination center in new delhi. this is the ongoing process to fight crime of virus, but these booster shots other enough for them. is this going to make a big difference? well that is the whole public health experts have been pressurizing the government and offering them to stock the booth to those dry, which has begun as off today just actually less than an hour ago. and behind me you can see someone probably getting a do. what you cannot see is a long queue of people waiting to get says the eligible population for the booster
8:08 am
. those is people above 60 who have underlying health conditions and frontline work . good. the government has a designated to vaccine for this, that is, the indian made astrazeneca that is called covey sheet. that is the vaccine that most people in india have received. and the other is the indian maid vaccine called kovacs. and the government says there will be no mix and match for your advice. she get the same back. see you got us, isn't it? because indian park know which makes over. she says they have enough joseph and have in fact recently caught their production because they were sitting on a stock pile of many. so to answer your question, yes, it looks like it does have doses. as of now, most people have received, therefore, still a big challenge for the government really is to encourage people who have not received their 2nd those because the gap between the partially vaccinated and the funny vaccinated in india is pretty significant. and not last week in yet also saw giving
8:09 am
fos doses to teenagers between the age of 15 and 18. that's a population of about 70000000. and it just 7 days at least 20000000 have received their 1st dose. now 24 hours ago. poverty, we were talking about the various states and they looked on measures. and what was going to happen in terms of religious and political gatherings, religious gatherings, this time around, or in the focus. this isn't going to make a difference. these booster shots to these vulnerable as the front line workers aren't going to make a difference to people are going to go to those religious gatherings. it's still concern that the virus could spread because of political and religious gallons, right? yes, yes, thing is that the number of cases had been rising at a very, very fast rate, and many restrictions happen. announce, stay. india clocked around a $180000.00 new cases in the last 24 hours. now authorities
8:10 am
have placed new restrictions on election rallies. ahead of the state elections that start next month, but you know, you're already seeing the impact of what has already happened. for example, the state of author for the in northern india, which is headed for election than it is in fact, critically are not the most politically critical state in the country. passing a massive spike of about 1300 percent in new coven 19 cases in just a week. now, other states have stepped up restrictions daily now has the maximum number of new cases about 22000. the government is expected to meet today to decide if new fobs ought to be imposed. there's already a weekend for food. there's also a night for food that continue through the week. and schools have also been close here and in many other parts of the country, rather san in western india is also the to have
8:11 am
a sondors off you starting this sunday. oh, but yes, as he said, that is still a big focus we afford. he said they will take the call on election rallies and all the gatherings odd and john john 15, depending on how cases go in the country. i thought he said that as of now, they are hardened by the fact that most cases in the country ah, asymptomatic or people a mildly symptomatic and hospitalizations and death haven't gone up. even though cases have of nu metal. they're reporting for life auroras' from and you, denny. thank you. cindy, us and russian officials will meet in geneva in the coming out in the 1st leg of high state talks in 3 european cities. the diplomats met during an informal dinner ahead of discussions relations between the 2 countries or at the lowest since the cold war ended 3 decades ago. presidents joe biden,
8:12 am
and vladimir putin exchanged warnings of the crisis in ukraine and a phone call. last one. we're going to listen to their concerns. they'll listen to our concerns and we'll see if there grounds for progress, but to make actual progress. it's very hard to see that happening when there's an ongoing escalation. when russia has a gun to the head of ukraine, with a 100000 troops near its borders, the possibility of doubling that on very short order. so if we're seeing, ah, de escalation, if we're seeing a reduction tensions that is the kind of environment in which we could make real progress. and again, address concerns, reasonable concerns on both sides. i mean, some does not go through the semitic of it's the americans should get ready to reach a compromise. the russian side came here with a clear position containing a number of elements that to my mind understandable and had been so clearly formulated, including at a high level that deviating from out approach is simply not possible. and she have returns, he has more for us from washington. the russian deputy foreign minister said that
8:13 am
the prisoners per preliminary talks is very wide ranging talks that they had over dinner were complex. but this is like, the ad is a, this is report to them. the russian, russian media, se my translation, i mean, you know, i'm not entirely sure, but it says he does, the russian farmer said he doesn't think you will be a waste of time. in vain hopes will be a waste of time in vain or something very about in translation. so that's quite interesting and actually blinking, despite that sort of rhetoric that we hear from him all the time. and, you know, they all will be severe costs are russia and so on. he did give some sort of understanding of the parameters of the talk. so least aware. initially, the us seems to stand because they have said that we have these russian red lines, get us miss 1000. and i was out of the area around the russian borders and reduce the military footprint of nature close to in eastern europe. now the us that it is willing to talk about future deployments of itself and it has been talking
8:14 am
about limiting nature, military size of the very least i'm thinking was quite relatively specific about what do you mean by that? in some of the interviews, even giving on sunday. so he was talking about reviving the intermediate nuclear forces. tricky. so this is the treaty, the bound, the deployment in europe, or in russia of medium range nuclear missiles. and that was scrapped on the trump. and so when he was talking about revising that treaty, and he's also talking about revising an agreement on the deployment of conventional forces in europe to keep military exercises from, from, from russia's border. so that's some, some leeway there. so head out 0. this is a holistic with big pain molded. at least 19 people include 9 children have died in new york after a fire broke out an apartment building. i will tell you why there's direct compet

8:19 am
with the hearing. i'm just resumed about 15 minutes ago. i need to be adjourned once again. and this is on the grounds at chris trane who's representing the government, the state, and he's requested more time to consider submissions. as a result of this, the judge judge kelly has agreed to extend the deadline for a joke of his potential deportation, which was full pm local time, his now extended at to 8 pm. so this morning we had jock of his team at present their case. and they case was basically, they were arguing, he met the criteria for temporary exemption. now should state that to the judges, certainly entertaining some of the aspects object which is lawyers. in particular, he showed sympathy for the lawyers when they stated that he understood the joke of each had done everything he could out to deliver what they bought. a force and offices wanted at the airport at last week when he was pulled up in question for some time and in melbourne at tele marine airport. they saying that the he provided all the evidence, both boarding before boarding and on arriving and on january 1st. they're also
8:20 am
studying that they received correspondence from the high, the phase department, stating that he had met the requirements for quarantined free travel into australia . so this is an ongoing case at chris try, who's representing the government. he's only made a short few remarks in his opening case before did get adjourned at central to their case is that the department's email was not an assurance that the so called medical exception would be granted. and jock ventures type and their response would be made upon his arrival. so this is an ongoing saga. we are yet to to hear more from chris trend, again representing a high phase department and the federal government. but it's been a number of jones, including a 45 minute delay to the initial start to hearing because of a technical glitch. tens of thousands of people are watching and listening to this case is huge amounts of interest, and as a result, the site crash. so it's ongoing and we expect it to be a long night as the, the judge presides over a submissions from both sides. well, you'll be reporting for us for most of that. i think so,
8:21 am
but i do have another question in the ground. that is, there are a number of various different scenarios in case you, the winds. will the appeal fails? what others? well, the number one option, which is what the government is fighting for in this appeal, is that doc of india, a does get deported. that's what they request has been, they've already revoked the the, his visa. and this of course, is an appeal from him to try and have that visa reinstated, that he could win his case and he could remain australia and playing the strain open. the 2nd case could be that he loses and must leave australia strike away. and a 3rd scenario as a case could be drawn out and joke of it could get. i'll be granted a special permission to play. and the 4th case is he could, the case is drawn out, which at the moment it certainly is drawn out on monday with the ongoing case from the side. but he could be removed from a country or deported and the case could be ongoing. so there are a number of case scenarios that we're looking at in
8:22 am
