change is still a huge threat. the southern reef decrease was relatively small and it was because of an outbreak of kind of foreign starfish, which is a natural predator which can get out of control when certain conditions allow. but i think more importantly, what we're really saying here is that while there's good news, there's also some not good news in this report. and while the coral cover is similar to what it was in the 1980s, people should not believe in any way that that means that the conditions on the reef are the same as they were in the 1980s. nothing could be further from the truth. and the reason is because the reef is now subject in any given year to potentially devastating bleaching events cause not by solar radiation specifically, but by warming oceans and ocean heat raves, driven by climate change. that's the number one threat to the reef. we had a bleaching event this year, and luckily it didn't last quite long enough for the corals to die. so

a little bit of heat, they can go white, they bleach. but if it goes to long, then mortality occurs, they die. and this year we were very lucky just as it was reaching that threshold, walking walking, the tight rope conditions got a little bit better, but in any given year now, the rest could be subject to some pretty severe bleaching events. and so while there's good news, we certainly can, she's being really vigilant and doing everything we can to protect the re from the future. ah, hello, you're watching out here. these are the headlines. the salam, the chinese military has run live ammunition drills in the taiwan straits a day after you. it has begun. nancy pelosi left high, high china, 5 ballistic missiles and deployed fighter jets and war shapes tie. one says the

around the world. thank you for holding me. my name is kin omar. i've been a long term human rights and democracy active is wrong. and my bro, my since 1988 as i was a part of organizing the well known nationwide pro democracy, appraising, known as the 8888. currently, i'm the chair of the human rights research and advocacy organization called progressive wise, we are look on their ma, humanise organization. thanks by heaven ega i view as you've met your panel. let me tell you what the key question is that we're talking about on youtube. so you can be right here in the comment section, section panel mia mars pro democracy activists in jor, military pressure. that is the conversation we're going to be having in the next 20 minutes or so. surely, let me start with you. we've been seeing extraordinary, very, very chummy pictures of the russian foreign minister meeting of the head of the medium, our military on wednesday,

local time. when you see these pictures will show you some of them, that relationship between russia and me, m r. what does that do to what is actually happening down the ground, that there's an ally there for me? i'm all for sure. and vice versa for russia. so the russian foreign minister and i think this is a 1st trip to me and my back, this is not the 1st sort of trip bind there. rush, you know, weapons aches and there are also different military to them. i see that this is a fact impasse and meet in person. this is to me, m r. and when i see that pitch has that be a heavy now, you know, lively conversations between these 2 dictators totally installed. being the people of them are not just the people, but also to ask yes. and also do the region in asia. because right now the

flooring, so minutes start meeting happening. and at the same time the restaurant for a minute start came in. you are to be installed directly with your markets. my point. so clearly this is a sign also at the same time that tiny foreign minister also was in need, you know, the capital c d not long ago and now restaurants already. yeah. and we don't know what will happen next. this is totally consenting for democracy forces in the reason also in the plus age. so as a contrast, i'm just looking at chris gun assist tweet here from the me, him accountability project. this is what chris says. so good to see me, i'm out empty seat at the, at the meeting, but an empty chair is an empty gesture unless it is backed up with meaningful economic sanctions. and diplomatic measures such as recognition of the and this is the national unity government. that is was put together

when the military too happened. i'm just going to scout screw up a little bit so you can actually see the empty chair there. so how do you have an assay and peace process with assay and not at all with me. and i'll look at the assay, i'm meeting of 4 ministers. how is that possible, emma? a, 1st of all the, the, i see and make this decision not to alarm there. the leaders of the crew to attend the summit or some of the, the top level top political meetings. and since last year, october, that was a good decision. it was a good ride to reach is that it's a direct, a decision in the right direction. so for us it's good to see the honda is not there because they don't belong there. this seat belongs to the people in my, in, in, in that sense it is for the nation, the unity government, the people's elected,

legitimate government to take a seat to represent the people. i'm so for in that sense as the, and made a good decision. but like chris said, that's not enough at all because i see and in fact made this a 5 point consensus which the out in like last year, more than a year now that they made such decision. and in that decision all along has failed . so while we see is there with this fight, why consensus decision from there i see in the hunter is hiding behind? and actually it is a time delay. ted take for the hunter to be able to continue to commit these atrocity crimes that they are doing against the people on me and my so the i c, n must wake up now. you know, well before things getting way too late because now i see and is left with very little credibility. you know, when it comes to me and my so they really need to not only leave the seat empty,

but they need to actually invite the national unity government and walk with the nation that the government to solve the crisis at. nathan, i totally agree with the all mean, i'm lucky in all the international community, especially the us, you, china, india, and japan must realize the, the, the normal military is not the part of the solution. the military is so if they so soft go through it. so the, so is, so the international right now is a time to recognize the and new g as a legitimate government obama. and also engage with the abilene revolutionary forces known as like, you know, e, r. all so did is the only, you know, way for the year you know, boss, rifle wave for the bomber to be solved in nathan, i'm thinking if the military is not part of the solution. so if that and to chat is a metaphor for they do not deserve to be at the table. and then you go to the

national unity government. is that no war, nathan, that you're suggesting? i'm suggesting that the, you know, not good, not only the recognize the military and the more military, but also to recognise the fully letter to make paula to the and new g government. so i am talking about the future by the, at the current situation, the international community full to recognize the truthful solution for the country . because you're not against those backdrop. so there's no way to do that. no, we're not doing the business as a normal for the international community, you know, issuing the stay ma'am, you know, expressed their concern a short and you know, they're watching their situation closely is not very helpful. i think enough is enough. desta. i'm actually at some simply thought of, i want to share with you from a new chief audience, and i'm just going to include some of their thoughts here. and why is russia

supporting me? m r. briefly shanae thoughts? oh, that's obvious that russia been basically me and my my military before i was military, you know, taking over the whole country and in 2010 we had our store of election and led by the military. and after that, people, people keep demanding democracy democracy. but the same time now military trying to attend the qu again, and now he has again the rule of russia and ty, not come back, come back and see simply there is a boarding there dictatorship, not just they are system but also the civilians equipment and also funding the military in the m r to hold the power and thus clearly the reason that the out begging them are military for a long time. and at the same time with that us, us trying to be in the salvation region. and then russia is coming down

to, you know, kind of challenging the us and also the credit application. and then i'm going to try to get some more who would think what they want to talk to all of the, all of the guess. this is one for you that i'm going to show you at the end could be a 4th in the region if they were active about human rights. omar, we thoughts? oh, yes, definitely. i've been involved in developing this as he and community for a long time. actually, and it's been really disappointed in hong the se, and has become more of like this on to chrissy, the club of adequacy, rather than club of democracy or the, you know, for the, for the people. so it's, it's the, you know, the i, c, n has such for example and said bought a body, they called as the human rights commission, right. or the refugee with alex or women and children wise protection commission

for example. but these all are under the control of the government and independent we what we need is the human rights bodies that are independent and impartial. and yet this region completely lack such bodies. and therefore, we couldn't bring the such great human rights violations happening in all countries . not only in the mom, mom, but also i can come bodya allows vietnam, we were not able to bring it up to the regional body. and in fact, we call as paper tiger, because that is no deep nathan, i have one more thoughts from you, from our viewers who are watching our conversation right now. i am worried for the people after they have declared a state of emergency. this is an extension at the state of emergency that's been going on for over a year. if they protest, they will be hurt. nathan, you know all too well. what being heard and being tortured is like yeah, you know, anyone can be killed the gun flying up to him. a soldier anytime that is the best

pitcher i can give it to you now for what is happening on bumble. so you know, you know, since the and constitutional cool. so does the military in or turn the whole country for all the you still into a keels. do a diverse did a one with the go there and you know, with the golf less and keel. so the people are now fighting but so you know, that's be, you know, they are taken by the whole country. so that is, that clearly demonstrated that the we of the people must be russ. but so in this situation if any one or any gantry consider support did them your mom military a c, q ship and the committee in the war crime a serious you know, the crimes against humanity. i mean that is the very shameful. you know, more man for the history war history chalet, one of the things that we really wanted to make sure that we addressed today was how the people of me am, are a handling the additional pressure from the military. are you seeing

a different kind of tactic or strategy in the military are using now? the state of emergency has been extend of a gang, which means that they do not have control of the country. where are we now in this movement that to democracy or the movement for the military to try and secure the country? so this august, 8th, where march 34 years of, you know, anniversary of the 88848 revolutions. and so, you know, we've been seeing in our tremendous amount of like crimes against humanity was crime in different areas, even in, in the revolution. they have kill countless through and lead us and you know, of walk us civilians, all of it. and now they're flying to say almost similar, but now even more rudo like they are, you, they skulk our policy nationwide. they've been bending down different houses,

more than 10000 houses were banned villages, the whole village. this was gulch, you know, for an art and at the same time we have a secured us for political prison and more prison are more political activists are in line to be executed and they use them more and more brutal. we'll, for example, a special volumes in different conflicts. so at one end of the war and the terror campaign, you know, nationwide. so i would say they been using more and more tactic. but the same thing is, is the fear, you know, the trying to stay fear to the people. and now this is different in 2021 is, is the young people expose it to the internet and using different create a way to to counter is not physical who is also a digital qu. so the young people using different way to counter, at the same time,

not to come during the game, you know, we are trying to form our own game. so we are, we were tired of playing along with the game, including the, to the out. the christie do shit just today. the young people bend down to quincy jewish and in the on the street. oh yeah. go. you know that clearly a sick and all that? surely we don't say or we were forming our own game. i want to hear a little bit more about that, but 1st i'm going to go via the project manager about a full wrap against the hunter. it's a group of creating a group of artists. you will see that his face is covered, obviously for safety reasons. but this is as the spirit of the resistance in miramar, or at least one side of a. let's have a listen. let's have a look. the more me a more to a g p u n. b is in say, oh oh no law. yeah, we got

a lawsuit border and are you sure? no. oh oh oh yeah. you can see how the problem not a so i i hear that hate coming from resistance, but i also hear that coming from the military leadership as well. i'm just going to play this to you, oma and i really like you to unpack it for us in rate. the way that the military is, is thinking about the way ahead for them. this is the military lead at men, all line talking about the extension of the state of emergency, oma, 900. i want how go, dad? he made utmost efforts in discharging the states duties with might, and main, but internal and external terrorists. and that conspirator, person is,

and organizations are committed to the utter devastation rather than the flourishing of democracy in me and my demography drago you did was a semi 1st of all, we all have to be very clear is that this military is and has never been one for love, but it is an institution. they teach their soldiers to hate the people they teach soldiers to hate their people with their believe in democracy own. and also a disaster military who has never believed in dialogue either and our country for many times have tried peace negotiations, dialogue with this military to have a political settlement. that is a saying, an hour long democracy movement and a movement for at the ethnic horizon equality. the political crisis must be off

with a political solution. and all the actors involved have trying all along. but we always face the bottom line. we go back to the square one and square 0 all the time is because this military don't believe in dialogue and also would be what they want is they are ongoing power and iron grip over the country, but not only in politics, but is actually, is economy because we are a country, unfortunately, or fortunately, or unfortunately, we're well a country, very res, with natural resources. it is an a resource cars because this military know that, you know, they can be, can actually grip a bit, this an economy web and a person, a wealth from, from that, the natural resources. so what they do is they know that they can not let go of their power. so no matter at what cause they will continue to remain. and that's a very reason we're telling the un and security council. and i see and look,

this military if made than solution it lies with the people on the emma and the people i am, i have already fall last 18 months, at least continuously showed, was what they want. and also what they are trying, sacrificing everything of their life, especially the young generation. so with town in the u. n and the us, he and his like you must actually come to the reality grew up on the reality is that near my will only move forward when this military is dismantled and broad and the civilian administration. civilian control. that's the only way for them to move forward. and the security council really needs to act. and if security council cannot act because of china and russia, beloget, we need the other democratic countries like the u. s. government, you and you k and australia and japan use a land form a like minded. i'm a like minded, a group, an egg on with responsibility to protect. they need to protect the people at numa,

because people out there might have been protecting themselves and defending. we know of this military's ok, but barry vowed and for the last 18 years i know the time is no waiting and then do and reading need to and, and that at u. s. government also need to impose sanctions on the that him out one and guess. i thank you out, so i went ahead, yolanda few minutes with nathan nathan, i feel you will be aware of showing crispin sean chrisman is from the committee to protect journalists that he's how he sums up that the media landscape a me, him. all right, now i'd love to hear your thoughts off the back of this because oversee journalism media. a free fat press is freely vital for any country that wants to quote itself democratic. he shall, mia mars media faces an unprecedented crisis since military coup makers have moved to stifle independent news report inside the country. since last year's qu,

publications have been banned, journalists have been jailed and even in instances i'm killed while in military custody. we see this as a concentrated and targeted campaign against the free press to stifle news reporting, to effectively outlaw and independent media precisely at a time as the qu, makers are being accused of extraordinary rights abuses across the country. no sense. yes, i totally agree with you. what a chance sir. you know, in a, if you, if you look at the, a whole you know, bud draw in the, in what happened in the last 18 months. so the media is new or no longer is there due to, to report it was the a c in a, in a was happening in bama. no, you are no right to live. that is what happened. the, and actually the rest is done is growing. you know, do live really the bomber. so we will see that that is a kind of like a 2nd, you know, in the find a move man, you know, sin after like a sunday for years. you know, i'll with the conflict a,

so the people are and now be a protest in against him. your mom military, in the 3 different way with the missile brought asked the, you know, pots and pans, you know, as also the silence tries. and also the why got in the military brought there, including the cd out, you know, see the disobedient movement. and also are they are taking the am struggle in or against even the military in are under the guidance of the atlantis. you know, revolutionary forces. the finally a, they are asking the war not to give the legitimacy model recognized him on military as a government. so done it. we have be 18 months to see that what is happening is the, you know, the revolutionary war that, that is happening in bama. so the war is still watch him. you know, now this will let me ask you your question because we've got one minute left. i, i want to ask you this, the journalist on our panel. this question have a look here, my laptop, again, just recalling what we asked the very beginning of the show. can me mars pro
