5:06 am
haven't seen for the last 2 years from the current administration. so this is why we would have to see how this can be advanced in the time to come. and if it doesn't, this would not, oh good. well, and it would result in instability in occupied territories and beyond division is where the united states presented a modest objective for this mission, which is the escalation. and they indicated that they will keep a team to continue to work, to see whether they would achieve the subject or not. of course, on the bigger picture in relation to advancing the prospects of the said, nothing has happened and nothing, nothing is expected to happen as a result of this visit. but then, as far as the escalation is concerned, and additional steps that are being taken by the current extremist as a government station needs to be seen. what is important is what was mentioned by 60 blinking in close meetings today as

a special report from inside me. and my elders here is tony. ching looks at how one community on the outskirts of the city of dom also has been affected. the body of door saw me are lies in her modest home relative packs a bag with things she'll need for her journey to the afterlife. her son watches without emotion, as the funeral rights proceed. she died after being hit by an artillery shell in a sheltered close to the fields where she worked. the shell didn't explode, but she bled to death after it hit her in the thigh. oh up on that, i looked down the ground was shaking and my child was crying. the woman shouted unhurt, unhedged in light. is she die? 09. this primary school in the same village was hit 2 months ago. healing a 5 year old girl and enduring 8 others walls pockmarked with shrapnel and a whole left by a direct hit suggest the school was intentionally targeted by mia mars military. in
5:11 am
a nearby clinic, a young boy winces with pain injured in a traffic accident. the doctor tries to patch him up, but aside from stitching and cleaning the wound, there's very little that can be done. medical supplies are scarce to model the military government, right? this is that they cut food and medicine to the area when there is fighting. we have to connect with local resist, ankles to solve the problem. even places of worship on safe villages say this church was burned down by the army in the summer, but no one can get in to rebuild or repair. because the errors heavily mind it's a tactic the military uses frequently. i mean, you are neither, they are many land minds. we retrieve more than 700 land mines from john da village, which the enemy has planned it. they use it as protection when they're weak. we have lost many lives lakes and now to land mines of suffer more because our minds
5:12 am
that in battle back in the village, the body of those formula is ready to be buried according to local tradition. her possessions of burned. as mourners wail her coffin, his nailed shot and load into the ground. another civilian victim of the army that was supposed to protect her. i'm now joined by attorney chang, who's in the tie city of may source, near the thailand me in my border, tonia, the military june. to is planning an election this year, which the you in has called a shame and shouldn't be recognized. what's the response been to that? well, i think the issue is, is going to be one of the terms under which that election is held. how are the parties that are going to be that people are going to be able to choose eligible to stand and whether the cut of violence that you heard about in peace is going to carry on and, and how that's going to impact the elections?
5:13 am
i think the, the military of very keen for those elections to take place. the mandate for emergency rule has actually run out today. we think they're going to try to extend those emergency pass. but under the 2008 constitution that they wrote, they, they shouldn't really be allowed to. that said, they do have no control over the complete control over the legislative process. but they want to thin veneer of legitimacy over their rule. and i think that very keen for those elections to be seen, to be taking place, particularly in the region around us. so they can get back a certain amount of legitimacy. but how that's going to be possible is very hard to see. we go fighting all over the country. we spoke to people. yes, they had come out a few days ago. one young man who i spoke to had his legs blown off by a tank in a town. just 20 kilometers away from here. so the fighting is fierce, it's going on all over the country. it's very hard to see how that election is going to take place. i guess watching your story and talking to you now. the
5:14 am
violence has been carried out against civilians in the any end in sight to that. again, i think it's very hard to see. we seem to be reaching a stage of where the rebels, who are opposed to the military government, a very entrenched and there are lots of different groups. there are ethnic groups to be fighting governments since i am off the decades. and there are new, younger groups, generally referred to under the banner, the pdf, people's defense forces that popped up in opposition, particularly to the military coup and fighting against those military forces. they're all very entrenched, they all have different interest. the military also seems to be deeply entrenched in its positions, but while it's losing a lot of control in the country, it's very, it's got control of the skies. we've seen the military using strikes and off load in the past 12 months. they using artillery an awful lot heavy weapons,
5:15 am
as i just mentioned, the using tanks 20 kilometers away from here. and they have that kind of control. the rebels are opposed to them have light weapons, but they're really unable to unseat the military. so i think we're reaching a point where there's going to be lots of divisions within me and, and very little opportunity for things to come back together. again. that doesn't seem to be a unifying power. there is a unity government in excel, but they don't seem to have an awful lot of control either. and i think the real consent, not just with me and my but in the region as well, is it's a situation that could spawn out of control. okay, thank you so much. that is tony ching, for us on the border of talent, me and math of 20 still ahead on al jazeera, including the family of a black man killed at the hands of us police officers gathered an historic memphis church on the eve of his funeral. and a 1000000 people out on the streets of france, the anger,

5:26 am
and tension is likely to grow with more days of protests like this. ahead. as the government tries to raise the pension age from 62 to 64, and to increase the period of compulsory workplace contributions to compensate for a population that is living longer, it was unfair and unnecessary unfair because it's actually asking, waiting the much effort on the poorest because they're the ones they're gonna have to work more and then they're the ones with the, for the life expectancy. and it's unnecessary because adjusted that the government is claiming it's justifying to basic reform on it. only temporary. and you could just talk to a french 1000000000, well, actually like the just the political choice reform of france. his social welfare system, including pensions, is a signature policy of the 2nd emanuel macro presidency. it could be that a signature feature becomes public protests, like the yellow vest demonstrations against rising fuel prices. the blighted
