11:02 am
a former legislator from long sans to cheese party at pro democracy activists. these are the 1st executions carried out in decades. the john to has sentenced dozens of antique who activists to death as part of its crack down on descent. after seizing par in a qu last year, let's go straight to al jazeera study chang. he's in bangkok, monitoring developments in myanmar at what more do we know about these executions? tony were very little of the stage. the announcement was made on state media 1st thing this morning that the sentence them to the sentence as themselves had been handed down early earlier in the year. co jimmy the, the prominent pro democracy activist who's already spent 15 years in jail was sentenced in january or a jawed j. r tor. the other prominent l. d politician was sentenced in april. both had had appeals against the death penalty appeals, which had been dismissed in the summer. but i think there was an assumption here in
11:03 am
miramar. and beyond that, while the death sentence had been handed down, as it has been a various points in the last couple of decades, that it wouldn't that the, the military government and carry through that hasn't been in execution in myanmar since 1989. but that announcement in this in state made it to go ahead or we assume it took place in st. prison were these 4 men were being held at the main prison for political prisoners in myanmar. and that's were relatives of the 4 dead men had been carrying throughout monday to try and get the remains of their, their relatives. but i think it has come as a very big shock to many people inside myanmar. as this are anti q activist, told us from young gun i love the joint, i shouldn't do this and it should not happen. this is like the gender officially challenging the public. this acclimate people wake up and become interested in
11:04 am
politics. again, our people should not just be mourning and social media, but also acting individually to do what they can to speed up the fight against the gender. and we will take revenge. they'll also be quite a lot of consternation. i think outside miramar, we've seen the association of southeast asian nations assay and try to engage myanmar since the military current 2021 more enthusiasm, perhaps from neighboring countries like china and in cambodia where they have made some very direct overtures to the generals. her and charge, in fact we had seen one send the cambodian prime minister, who's the chair vass. yeah. right to minute lie, the senior general in june requesting clemency for these men that has clearly been ignored. and i think at this stage, ask him where, regardless, pretty much as a slap in the face to those diplomatic overtures and those that have come from the rest of the world. clearly the generals are myanmar feel they can now do what they
11:05 am
want and they want to see, i think, with the amount of opposition we've seen to the military cuz they're sending a very definite sign to those people who protest. they're all inside mamma. and those who object to them outside out 0 study chang reporting live from bangkok, tourney. many facts full robinson is the deputy asia director of human rights watch . he says it's astonishing that the international community has done nothing about the military's abuses. they are, 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 had been committed by military forces all across the country against civilians. it is astonishing that the international community has been sitting back and 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 is been on ukraine and other places, but the reality is we have a,
11:06 am
an absolute disaster area in the middle of the asian region. and the international community is doing precious little to say about it. and, you know, do you 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 hunter to try to quell any sort of resistance by the myanmar people. and i don't think it's going to work it just going to get people more angry. india has sworn in it's 15th president, had a high level event in new delhi to potty move. is the 2nd woman to ever hold the ceremonial ro that'll suit the 1st person from a tribal community to be off to post. she replaces run off cove and a fellow member of the governing b. j. p. let's go like to new delhi al jazeera company. natal is the force of putney. tell us a little bit more about the new president's community and why her presidency is so significant for it. here it's
11:07 am
a highly historic and symbolic presidency. drop in the moon is in the 15th president, the 2nd woman and the 1st tribal person to be elected to the highest office in the land. now about a 100000000 people in india identify as part of tribe communities. these are largely indigenous groups that have been on the margins of indian society, socially, politically and economically. most of them live in rural india and some of the most under develop parts of the country more, more is from one of the largest of these communities. and it is a proud day for them. we've seen celebrations across the country since the day she was elected. but a lot of them have been in tribal beds. and the other thing to note is that move has been to reputation as someone who defense tribal rights. she's a veteran politician. she has many positions in the government, most notably, she was the governor of one of the indian tribe of states that is childcare and.
11:08 am
and in that role, she challenge to booze that were proposed by her own political party because she believed that they could violate schreiber vice. and today in her swearing in ceremony, she knew that to the historic nature of a presidency, she said that millions of people in india, women, tribal people, and other people on the margins of society could see their reflection in her success. i was 0 is probably natal reporting live from new delhi. ne, thanks me. the president of the philippines fulton of macos junior is giving his 1st state of the nation address. he won a landslide victory and may not come to power the time when the philippines is facing. soaring food and fuel prices had increased policies you to the corona virus . people in manila have been protesting against him, saying he's provided few concrete policy plants. so fall, it's listening to what he's saying, just for a few moments the nation capitalizing on the corporate recovery and docs incentives
11:09 am
for enterprises. so the create law and economic liberalization laws such as the public service and the foreign investments act equals zones will be fully supported to bring in strategic industry such as those engaged in height that manufacturing health and medical care and all emerging technologies. this is also seen to facilitate economic growth outside of metro manila. our tax system will be adjusted in order to catch up with the rapid developments of the digital economy, including the imposition of value, added docs and digital service providers. the initial revenue impact will be around 11700000000 business in 2023 alone docs. compliance procedures would be simplified to promote ease of paying taxes. we will pursue
11:10 am
measures to determine possible under valuation and or trade mis invoicing of imported goods through information. and normally that said that the president ford on mall cross studio giving his 1st states of the nation address in manila springs bobby low, whose life for us in manila is anything that the president is likely to say. in this speech. barnaby are going to a lay the fears of people who been protesting against him. hi, adrian. well, the philippine president for dinner involved markers junior has just started his speech and from what i can hear, he is already laid out specifics for how he would repair the economy. this is really what people wanted to hear from him because they did not hear this during his inaugural speech on june 30th. and they did not hear anything concrete really from him. during his months long campaign during the election season,
11:11 am
he trumpeted unity. and now people want to see how he will use this mantra, how this mantra will translate into government programs. and so we heard him talking about, you know, that the tax system digitizing the tax system. and this is to really increase the revenue of developing government. you know, for, and that has sort to more than $230000000000.00 in the last 6 years here in the philippines. so that is a huge problem on top of the rising inflation. rising fuel prices, cove in 1900 pandemic. and so these are the problems that both the, the poke protesters earlier in the day, as well as the 31000000 filipinos who voted for longbow markers. these are the problems that they want solved. they want to hear today from president markers what he intends to do to be able to solve these problems. and i think now we are hearing
11:12 am
more concrete steps as to how he will do all these things. so president mark has appointed himself as the agriculture secretary. so obviously this is an important issue for him. food security is an important issue for him. the philippines is an importer of rice, even though the philippines had traditionally been an agricultural country. and so this is one thing that the president marcus says that he would lead himself one issue that he would lead. and he would like to see the philippines being food self sufficient, rice self sufficient. adrian, bobby low reporting live that from manila. many thanks. need not to be the head of the roman catholic church is in canada to apologize in person for the role the church played in running residential schools for indigenous children. hope processes in the city of edmonton forties, cooling his pilgrimage of penance,
11:13 am
more than a 150000 children were forcibly removed from their families and sent to schools where many faced years of abuse. at some 1st nation, leaders say they feel excluded from the pope's trip to canada. i think the visit is long overdue. maybe something had happened many, many years ago. maybe the start of reconciliation would have started again. that's a part of the problem we've had with the church is that they have not been really including us in the proper planning of this house has been very unilateral, and we don't feel that it has been about survivors. it has been more about the church. danielle morrison is a lawyer, an advocate for survivors. she says that a mission of guilt from the catholic church, rather than an apology, is once needed. my dad was 6 years old when he went to residential school. and i have a 8 year old daughter and i look at her and big how devastating it would be to be
11:14 am
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. traumatizing 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 and residential schools. and i mean, i understand why there is no admitting that guilt because it would open them up for a liability and international war crimes. essentially, i understand
11:15 am
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 janet? either you can even admit that it has actually occurred still to come on al jazeera . ah, ukraine sets it sites on retaking a strategic city. it's battle with washing forces. a more than a 1000 migrants refugees arrived in italy in a matter of hours. after crossing the mediterranean, ah, the journey has begun. the fee for world cup is on its way to castle group your travel package to day. hello, we should see some much needed rain fall into north western parts if you that's good news. i was going to freshen out,

concentrates the powers in his hands, say it. legislative, executive, and most worryingly, the judicial, the powers that is so what people are coming soon, whether to say yes, we are for this new constitution or no, and they want to stay with the 2014 constitution. the 24th 14 constitution came after a long time of debate between civil society and political parties. though there were a lot of discussions about each and every article and what it gave were an, an indelible rights. gay rights to freedom of speech or the rights of assembly and this new constitution. it says it gives rights, but it doesn't. it's not very specific about rights to watch. and this is what hi, science opponents are really worried about. and there's a lot of conditionality that people have rights but subject to security situation
11:21 am
or, or a sanitary situation such as another pandemic. so that there's a lot of changes in this and fundamentally the change towards a height of presidential system as opposed to parliamentary representation of democracy. is it possible at this stage to, to give us a sense of what turnout has got to be like given that so many are unhappy and that the opposition has called for a boycott? well, a lot of people who are a lot of people who are sending out as, as you seen her from now very much from the elderly generation, we're seeing quite a steady trickle of people coming in to this is puzzling center. what is predominantly from a very much older generation, you people seem to be in the 60 seventy's and eighty's, they're very much pro kai side and i say that they want to see changes and in a better future for their children. a lot of young people and they fill out, she kind of quite hopeless. they're unconvinced that voting will change anything. a
11:22 am
lot of people think that the, the right might be fixed. there are many international observers here to make sure that there isn't any voting fraud. but people feel that it's a foregone conclusion. so, boy, you know what you vote. a lot of people saying this is an illegal process. the whole drafting of a new constitution is illegitimate and cited. the referendum is or sergent illegitimate said, making a point was staying away unless you've opened reporting live the from tunis when he, thanks. lizzie, ukraine's president says his soldiers are starting our counter offensive against washing forces, followed him as zalinski says that the army is advancing towards occupied territory in the south and east. jonah hendrick. reports from keith, ukrainian forces leave an important bridge in the strategic city of harrison pockmarked, but still standing with you,

11:24 am
a worship he says, and a warehouse filled with american made harpoon anti ship missiles, realty. what does that offer of us that's i learned that up on the green, russian forces took action in a part of a desa, a dog, ukrainian worship, and a warehouse with us supplies mythos will destroy you in a rush. i used long res naval mis files. you know this as he part of the territory of the ship repair planned, dr. the attack has been widely condemned coming less than 24 hours after the 2 countries signed an agreement for the safe passage of ukrainian, wheat, corn, and sunflower oil from odessa and 2 other black seaports. speaking in egypt, russian foreign minister, sir g. a lab rob says moscow will stick to the deal may put together, because we have confirmed the commitment of russian grain exporters to meet all their obligations. president vladimir putin also emphasized this in a recent telephone discussion with egyptian president l. c. c. if not,

11:26 am
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. this of what we hear from russia about what is happening in ukraine and, and how they're behaving their hundreds of migrants in refugees for rescued while trying to cross the mediterranean to reach europe over the past few days. many of them had been taken to ports of italy, but authorities per site, the overwhelmed i'll zeros capielo posada on reports. ha, ha, ha! rescued during a dangerous journey across the mediterranean to europe, with, in less than 24 hours, more than $400.00 migrants were picked up by humanitarian group. see, watch. it's

a risk. many of them know all too well. many of them know that it's quite likely that they weren't making it, that they generally will drown in, in trying to seek safety. but for them, it's the only option they have. and these are the stories that we hear. and these are people that we meet time and time again. nearby other groups of migrants on refugees weighed on the island of lump azusa. more than a 1000 arrived in italy with an hours many are from afghanistan, pakistan to dan, ethiopia, and somalia. basically, european states, a dedicated thing, all of their efforts in stocking people from making their way to european shores. and so it's a policy of exclusion and isolation. the islands reception center has a capacity for 300 people, but 3 times as many migrants are there. the influx comes as italy, gears up for early elections, which could bring hard right politicians to power. oh,
11:28 am
the united nation says more than $30000.00 migrants and refugees have arrived in italy by sea this year. and more than 1200 have reportedly died attempting to reach europe. katya lopez, civilian al jazeera, at least 17 haitian asylum seekers, including a child of, died out of that boat capsized off the coast of the bahamas. 25 people were rescued, but it's fed that up to 60, may have been on board authority. say they're seeing an increase in haitians. desperate to flee poverty and gang violence for the bahamas is on a route used by migrants trying to reach the u. s. from haiti, prime minister philip davis says that that appears to be the case with his latest group. blurry investigation suggests that a twin engine speed bold left a docking facility off of westby street. o. round one
