life might look like it's normal. but look, a little closer roads closed with barriers, barricaded military positions and uniformed soldiers on the streets, muscle and i saw the army. this tried to protest. after that, i was very afraid. that's why i'm scared to go out again. but there were more protests beside my house, so i joy if they feel safe, i will join to protest. mamma has been ravaged by coven 19 in the past 12 months. the situation intensified after the military target had medical workers for their involvement and protests and a civil disobedience movement. many were arrested. others fled into hiding to day even basic health care services as guess as alan, i think i won't forget that day dead hair walkers were arrested and she dare very

badly by the army. they even kate, a medicare student, thus why i won't touch the horse peter. in the sit, his food remains plentiful. the prices have risen sharply. elsewhere, supplies and production have run dangerously low. the world food program estimates it needs to provide food for 4000000 people across myanmar in 2020 to 4 times the number before the qu, the economy has gone into free full banks, limit withdrawals, and foreign investment is pulling out fast on when he bow. ah loosed jobs, an it is embedding duty and the labor market. and also many people are jobless. but of the many job seekers ah, can be the job, but be a bit less than normal. even basic services like trains and buses of failing,

the nationwide rail network has ground to halt. after work has joined the civil disobedience movement and bust prices have tripled as operate is abandoned, standardized rules wanted me to lawyer. or in my opinion, if we get rid of army rule transpose services would go back to normal with properly working buses. a normal ticket price is only historically the people of mim are used to military rule. but after a decade of progress and development, the last 12 months is leaving many feeling is if they are returning to the past. tony ching al jazeera tab and stuff are in the founder and coordinator of old c and burma. that's a network. and i see an organization's working to support human rights and democracy in me and mar. she's calling on the international community to put enough pressure on the military and stop the flow of arms and money into the country. in the 30 years of working on human rights in vermont, me and my it's never been as bad as we've been extremely shocked at the rising

violence of the military. and this illegal has actually increased it palletized the weights committed atrocities, crimes against that in the military. and that definitely under estimate that the desire of people for freedom because people recognize that freedom also means economic stability and well being and not willing to go back to military rule. the weight is now we are calling for decisive international action to prevent the flow of weapons and money to the military who, the who must know that it cannot reap the rewards of atrocity crimes. and to good pressure on mil it, he can nominally oriented military leaders to think about purging, min online to cool need. because this who has gone too far and cost too much chaos and damage to the country on all sides. last week, china who has the, the,

to the un security council finally admitted that it was urgent to hot the violence in. but i think that sending a message to the rest of the international community that it is possible to take some decided action. now, taking you alive to occupied east jerusalem. nuts were amnesty international is releasing a report right now in 2. israel's human rights abuses against palestinians. the secretary general agnes kellum are as speaking. let's listen him know if he had to dave to cody on the authorities of israel to put an end to the c stem of assigned it is maintaining against all, but is still an leaving under their effective control. whether in israel itself, in the o. p t or as refugees in other countries. we are here today to

called on the international community to take resolute action against the crime of humanity being perpetrated in order to maintain the system of appa fight. we present mity curtis evidence for our course. in this report, for you in the making, rigorously researched on the ground. in legal libraries, we've yo, yos and scott, us direct engagement full, full use. we the best legal scott all on up outside. and we build on the work of palestinian israeli and international organization. our conclusions may shock and disturb and they should some within the government of israel may seek to deflect on them by falsely accusing amnesty

of attempting to destabilize israel, or being anti semitic, or unfairly singling out israel. but i am here to day to say that base less attacks bear faced lives. fabrication on the messenger will not silence the message and an organization of 10000000 members. the world over amnesty international recognize and as i said so repeatedly recognize a right of the jewish people to self determination. we recognize the state of israel. we all pose denounce anti semitism and anti semitic act the world over. but we defined our right and or right of anyone else to

critique impartially and against international human rights law. israel treatment of the palestinian that dear friends is not anti semitism. let me be clear. such accusations, whether issued by these rail authorities or their supportive are nothing more than a desperate attempt to evade scrutiny. divert attention from our findings that the human rights abuses to which the palestinian people are subjected amount to our side of finding. by the way that we have made before and elsewhere in myanmar, we are not singling out the state of these i am. but the substance, although assessment must be confronted. discrimination inequality

enshrined in a maze of laws, regulations, policies, 40 board transfers, administrative detention torture and so on. each violation only its own is a travesty, but their true gravity becomes apparent only when taken together. it is then that the depth and extent of the system of oppression is revealed to be what it is. a system of appa fight and crimes against humanity. i have worked for the past 25 years in the field of human rights and some of you may know my work. before i joined amnesty. i have covered research, visited many countries investigated many different situations in many different

settings. this is my 1st visit to israel palestine, and i have to tell you, it has shocked me to my call. why? it's not the act of violence. i have seen violence before. it is the cruel t on the system, the in tree kit evolving administration of control, disposition and inequality. the incredible detail to bureaucratic vision upon which that system is predicated. it, she, a banality. and that time absurdity. that as taken my breath away, i have seen a palestinian family home entirely surrounded by ice security walls and fences just

to separate them from their jewish neighbors accessible for he said jackson, palestinian village of yellow bridge that could be remotely closed at any time by the city fraley authorities, i saw the remains of the family, a family home who are here to day in chicago, demolished just 2 weeks ago in the middle of the night. houses that were made they of decades ago, stolen to bureaucratic means supported by act of violence. i listen to the plight of an old bed when man in a remote and depraved village. as he asked over and over again, why he's home in a so called unrecognized village, one of 35 ought to be abandon. why is he being uprooted from the only place that he and his father before him? i've called home. i heard him ask,

why is it that his neighbor's home has been demolished? not twice, not twice, not 3 times, not full time, but 5 times. and then to be rebuilt, because those people have nowhere else to go except some obscure or food settlement that they do not wish to join. i listened to him, ask why he toys that they could never dare to do some refurbishment on their de relic towers. because emily, don't you think that they dare put, could be seen as a new construction and will be demolished? i have walked on land in sorrow. where may weeks ago, members of the jewish national font, protected by security forces, kurt came and are ported. the plantation long cultivated by palestinian families, land and trees and lively wood torn apart just so that palestinian families are

prevented from continuing to do what they have done for the kids that to we the she port of the law w chrisy the institution's and i'm asking you i'm asking people who aren't going to listen to me on palestinian bed when communities such a threat that they must be torn apart. they leave on less than 3 percent of the anti young. they gave area less than 3 percent. either 3 percent too much. too much for what too much for room that these own mind must be or put to and what about the fizzy course cows that mar estuaries, ellen and the west bank, the fences and wars, how young bigger than the berlin was as ever been. is the 2nd ment,

outpost that have multiplied and multiplied and multiplied on palestinian lens on agricultural lens or all of that. we just you port of the law. we have support of the bureaucracy we the support of the institutions. it is such realities that taken together examine under international law amount to a she stem and a crime of apathy like to day we launch our findings to mo, amnesty stops its campaign, a campaign to amplify the course of palestinian and israeli civil society for trustees to demand that won't lead of take robust, human rights based action to bring to an end israel to free reign, to dispossess segregate,

demolish control and oppress palestinians without fear of repercussion. there is no place there is no home. there is no excuse for such crimes at any time and anywhere. thank you. mister international, the secretary general, agnes cut a mar speaking and occupied east jerusalem for the 1st time. in fact, amnesty international has accused israel of committing the crime off apartheid. so they've just released their latest reports and it focuses on the policies and practices of the is really government towards palestinians across all territories, under israel's control. and the report also sets out israel's obligations under international law. so once again, the or amnesty has concluded that israel has perpetrated apartheid as a human rights violation and a violation of public international law wherever it imposes the system on the

palestinian people. and a camera did mention that to the report, relied on research done between 20172021. this is her 1st trip to the occupied territories, and she was shocked at the cruelty that she witnessed. according to her, we'll keep an eye out on what more comes out of occupied east jerusalem. but for more on this let's not bring in and the day about him. she's joining us from the jordan valley. sony dont quite significant that amnesty for the 1st time is now accusing israel of committee the chrome of apartheid. this is something that we've heard from other human rights organizations previously like human rights watch for example. and palestinian human rights organizations have always used the upper tied word to describe israel system in the occupied westbank. but as many would tell you that these organizations are facing a lot of crude scrutiny when it comes to israel, they're trying to limit their work. we've recently seen and israeli military order

for their ordering, the closure of 6000 in organizations saying that they are funding or using funds for political reasons under the so called counterterrorism act. so for palestinians, it's important that the international community starts realizing what's happening in palestine, and specifically when it comes to how people are living. just to give you an idea as we were coming here to the village of fi in the jordan valley, which is part of the occupied west bank. we almost got the ticket entering this village because there is no official entrance that allows residence to come in from a very straight through a few meters behind it. there is an official road for the settlement. this is their reality. it might be a simple thing, but this is what simians live on a daily basis. if we take a look this up to them and are so close to palestinian homes and often they expand

and expand at the expense of palestinian lands. this sacrament, for example, has almost 300 settlers versus 2000 people that are living here in the village of science. but they enjoy a network of roads. they enjoy water electricity, and they are expanding versus the people who are living here that say that they are often targeted with house demolitions. they don't have permits. and many people all across the jordan valley on the occupied to us bank said that they've been facing a lot of ways to this. possess them from the last, whether israel taking the land for military reasons or confiscating lands is saying that they are in buffer zones. or firing zones, or even we've seen them taking them for environmental reasons saying that they are protected. so there are poor palestinians, many ways that as well as trying to make the lives. so i'm possible that they have

no other option, but to leave it. and one of the points that i've got mar has pointed to is that she was struck by the reality of it's remember, this is a story that has been reported over and over again. it's phil difficult for people to absorb the daily reality of how standing. yeah, i mean, israel has always rejected this allegation of apartheid when it's put to them and even before the publication of this particular report, the amnesty and their report we heard from is really officials rejecting the report and describing it as anti semitic. of course, this is not something that israel would ever acknowledge to. they say that they are a jewish and a democratic fig before palestinians. they want the world to know that they are living under a system for 2 people. when we talk about throws, when we talk about lands,

when we talk about laws even often is until now in the occupied to us bank live under and israeli military rule. and israel uses these military was to confiscate lands and to benefit the jewish is really rather the residents that live in the settlements that are considered illegal under international law. out of the same time use the same military will to make the lives of palestinians hard than on hard there that they think that the ultimate goal of all of this is to get them to leave it. thank you so much. but he was joining us from the jordan valley and the occupied westbank. now the us and russia are set for high level talks on the ukraine crisis. the secretary state antony blinkin is expected to speak to moscow's foreign minister, a survey lod robin the coming hours. both sides have already exchanged letters outlining their positions. the usaa is now up to russia to discuss its response. on

monday, the un security council met for the 1st time to discuss the russian trip build up. today in the united nations, we've laid out the full nature of russia's threat to ukraine sovereignty and the territorial integrity of ukraine, as well as the core tenants of a rural based international order. and we, we continue to urge diplomacy as the best way forward. but with russia is continuing to build up of its forces around ukraine. we are ready, no matter what happens. there were the divisions, the un security council meeting with russia and the us accusing each other of spreading misinformation or diplomatic editor james base has more from new york. the security council heard 2 very different arguments about the situation in eastern europe. the u. s, which called this meeting says the russian military build up around ukraine is the largest mobilization of troops in europe. in decades, rushes aggression to day,

not only threaten ukraine. it also threatens europe. it threatens the international order, this body is charged with upholding. we continue to hope russia chooses the path of diplomacy over the path of conflict in ukraine. but we cannot just wait and see. but russia's ambassador vaseline, the benzine says, all his country's troops are on russian soil. they're not close to the ukrainian border. and there's absolutely no proof of a threat from them. he says the us and nato will whipping up tensions as though they want to be a war. outside the council chamber. i pushed him further on this. are there any circumstances in which russian troops would cross the border into ukraine? can you be clear for it? i, i'm not the person to decide whatever happens, but we never, i said it in my statement that no russian politician or even the public figure ever

said that we are planning to take your great what a clear answer. it seemed. but then he added this with not exclude provocations from, from ukraine inside than the separatist. republics, they say they have information that such provocations may happen. russia had tried to prevent this meeting by calling a procedural vote at the start. 9 countries supported the u. s. but russia was joined by china and objecting to the session and 3 other security council members, gabon, kenya, and india, abstained. the meeting went ahead, bought the procedural vote. and the comments of many of the non western members of the council should be noted. the u. s. is aim here was to galvanize international opinion against what it says is the russian threat. but to achieve a broad international consensus, it still has more work to do. james bay's al jazeera, the united nations. the u. s. has designated catera and major non nato ally. it was
