a pro democracy activists. these are the 1st death sentences to be carried out in decades. the gender has sensors, dozens of antique who activists to death as part of its crackdown on descent of the seizing power. lost f. tony chang joins us live now from bangkok. so what more details were merging tony o we and very few, frankly, we understand these executions took place at some time over the weekend. according to the state media release that came early this morning. first thing miramar, time amongst the 4 men. were 2 very prominent pro democracy activists, one co jimmy who had been sentenced to jail for over a decade in the 19 ninety's, protesting the military gentle. then he had been an active advocate of democracy over the past decade. and since 2020 one's military coup, the other a pure zig zag, tore

a very prominent and l d. politician. he previously had a career as a hip hop artist and he was arrested and accused. there were all 4 men accused on under counter terrorism laws. but these are the 1st executions inside mere mar since 1989. and while the mayor, my has always had the death penalty on the books, i think the assumption was that it was to be used more as a threat than a reality. the fact that we've seen these executions taking place and that there are dozens more pro democracy activists who been charged and tried under these counter terrorism laws is very disturbing and will be set to a dangerous precedent for the future. turning their life for us in bangkok now. so robinson's, the deputy asia director of human rights. what is in bangkok and is live with me now. phil, we haven't seen execution since 1989. this has to be a message from the military. johnson, not just

a mystically but financial community as well. but the incidental guarantee seems a bit palace. his tiny even stopped them. well, it shows the depth of depravity that they myanmar who does prepared to descend to in order to try to get control of the situation they are ah, you know, now executing political prisoners. that's clearly what these people were. and you know, this is on top of the crimes against humanity that have been committed by military forces all across the country against civilians. it is astonishing that the international community has been sitting back in just twiddling their thumbs as myanmar has descended into this horrible situation. of absolute human rights abuses occurring across the country. you know, the focus, i know has been on ukraine and other places. but the reality is we have a, an absolute disaster area in the middle of the asian region. and the international community is doing precious little to say about it, are you not even not even really speaking up,

maybe we'll see something now that these executions have taken place. but this is part of intimidation by the honda to try to quell any sort of resistance by the man more people. and i don't think it's gonna work. it's just going to get people more angry, fulfill human rights abuses we've been documenting these human rights abuses. now, for decades in me and law, and every time the military hunter has managed to get away with it, simply because like you say, the focus is always, always seems to be on another area. manuel has the, you know, people just don't care about me. i'm on that seems to be a problem. well it's, it's astonishing that we've kind of come to this point. but i mean, it looked like last year, when the international community was, i imposing sanctions and talking about global arms embargo against myanmar that we were making progress. and all that has just slid off the table in the most remarkable and astonishing way. ah, you know, what i hope in this horrible tragedy of the,

of the killing of these 4 political prisoners is that the international community will find its voice and find some determination to take action against the military junta that you know, that recognizes that it is no longer possible to just hoped that asi on the regional organization will somehow sorted out, it's clearly not going to happen that way. and it's going to require much more international and been intervention to make something happen. and, and these rights of uses finance actually interesting that you mentioned nasty and they have the association, se, and asian nations. now they have been the kind of go to when it comes to trying to deal with any problems with myanmar. this has to be a failure of them surely. or is it something a bit more political? well, i think that asi on, it's hopelessly divided. they're really split right down the middle. and now myanmar hunt knows how to play them. and they've been playing them. they've been playing for time. they've been making excuses. ah, and the rest of the world has continued to say that asi anson proudie,

should be the policy moving forward. quite clearly, asi and is probably the least likely international organization to solve this because of their continued policies of ra, not interfering with internal affairs of other states. a, you know, the reality is, i think that the aust yawn has to be now seen as a failure to deal this. and now there has to be some new structures and new interventions made by the international committee to address the situation in myanmar thorough vinson. that live in bangkok for us fell always great schedules. thank you so much. so the vain president said none macos junior. he said to deliver his 1st state of the nation address in the coming hours. more cost one, a landslide victory, and the may election. protest is in manila, marching against the new president by complaining that malcolm is provided few concrete policy plans as a country deals with soaring food and fuel prices. macos insist his team is

ukraine's pushing ahead with f as to restart grain export despite missile strikes on his biggest port on saturday. russia has admitted a launch the attack on odessa saying it was trying to military targets. the attack has raised outside of russia's willingness to respect a crucial agreement to unblock ukrainian ports. earlier ukraine's presence as his forces were advancing towards the southern regional harrison which russia occupied early in the wall. john hendrick, now reports from keith, ukrainian forces leave an important bridge in the strategic city of harrison pockmarked, but still standing on leave the woodland. yo, but perhaps not for long. this soldier says they are out gun by powerful russian artillery, but determined as soon were visible and situational. we will liberate chris on that's for sure. we would not give it away to the russia long valley. that's why we

here. so our children won't have to fight any more so that we can solve this method now and forever hills it. but also the can chileya bloom in harkins mobile artillery units have attacked russian targets. brucely armed forces of ukraine are advancing step by step in the region, but the war of attrition on the ground is somewhat overshadowed by russia's shelling of odessa as port ukraine says. it intercepted 2 missiles on saturday, but 2 more made it through a russian military spokesman says those missiles hitt, legitimate military targets, a worship he says, and a warehouse filled with american made harpoon anti ship missiles, realty. what assistant to that often, but of all russ. but finally, when a dreadful morgan russian forces took action in opposed to odessa, a daughter, ukrainian warship, and a warehouse with you as supplied missiles will destroyed alaska when they come to rush. i used long range, naval messiah in odessa,

an attack on supposedly military targets. and so was sort of executed as part of russia's ongoing plan for ah, for it's for it's fight. but i think that it emphasizes the point that's been made by russians coach people earlier, which is nobody should mistake the great deal with a peace treaty, an armistice, or really the start of any negotiating process aimed at ending the ending, the conflict this, the missile strike found her discipline, exclamation point on those on those statements. why think it possibly could have been actual confusion if this was a pre plan strike that went ahead almost without the knowledge of the senior russian political leadership. but it's also a reminder, potentially the overall untrustworthy business of what we hear from russia about what is happening in ukraine and,

a 8 year old daughter. and i look at her and bake how devastating it would be to be separated from my, my child at that age, or at any age really. and there really is no way finding through this. it's been a difficult journey for many and it's triggering it deeply, deeply traumatized thing. catholic church was the biggest church that was partaking, and all the reading of the residential schools. and they were the only school that didn't pay money. that was promised to survivors. there are a large number of records that have yet to be released when it comes to abuse claim . and this puts a big barrier in the way of the healing for many survivors who were abused in residential school. and i mean, i understand why there is no admitting that guilt because it would open them

a lot per liability and international war crimes. essentially, i understand a lot of the legal complexities that come with looking at residential school as an active genocide and an apology for me is never going to be enough because how do you apologize for genocide if you can even admit it had actually occurred? razzles has enjoyable sanara has re launched his adversary, launched his re election campaign, but he faces an uphill battle. he's trailing in the bowls behind his main rival left, his former president, lulu de silva. both laura, it was that chris size at for handling a. his handling of the kind of ours outbreak which so brazil have the 2nd highest decile monica on a cave reports now from rio de janeiro. ah, thousands of supporters lined up in front of this gym next to rio de janeiro iconic modicum, a football stadium in
