1:04 pm
have to connect with local resist, ankles to solve the problem. even places of worship and 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. now you are neither. they are many land minds. we retrieve more than 700 land mines from john da village, which the enemy has planted. they use it as protection when their weak. we have lost many lives lakes and now to land mines of suffer more because of the minds 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. tony cheng altos, her own me, i'm in is the human rights minister,
1:05 pm
minimize national unity government, which was formed in exile. speaking from an undisclosed location, he's called on the international community to declare a no fly zone in some parts of me and me on the milk he has been using as tried to check on the civilians. communities, including the houses are schools and simply says a hospital that providing human dinner system. so they intentionally targeting the civilians. so that cost a lot of cost holidays and the big damage to the life of this community. this is, you know, some of the victims are many young people and even the school childrens and also very, very elder people who are living in the communities that make a chair or i would say that, you know, tariff off from the sky to the civil. yes. so s try has been increasing, but at the same time, it's sure that they don't have any control in the areas. only way to check on the
1:06 pm
civilians is checking from the sky and also using s t, right. we really want to call the international, you know, prevention of free as a areas there. so that's the, the light and not to stop the indiscriminate use of our air forces using the military, our jet fighters, and also calling out to you on the people. other we east, you know, just are recently that, you know, you key make our, our last man all the sanction on that a vision. she will, that is another supplied to the military. do use the air force us to a tech on the people. so we really need to global our actions are all military and embargo, including every ation fuel that's supplied to the military. right now. billing
1:07 pm
purposes, the asia director with human rights watch. and she's joining us live now from bangkok. very good to happy with ma'am. and i'm just looking back over the last couple of years, how would you say the conflict in me and mar, differs now from what was happening when it 1st started? well, i mean, we've seen armed conflict really escalate over the past 2 years since the crew. i mean, we've seen literally of war crimes strikes attacking civilians, even children, and also crimes against humanity. i mean, we've seen over the past 2 years, something like 17000 protesters arrested. nearly 3000 people killed the resumption of executions after 3 decades. so really we are seeing a worsening spiral of atrocities over the past 2 years. without any left up. we were hearing in 20 change reports just a moment to go about the difficulties of getting humanitarian aid and medicine into
1:08 pm
me. and what are the stumbling blocks? what are the obstacles to that as far as you are aware? whoa, i mean, there are several and i think in a big part of it is there's an immense in humanitarian need in the country. 17000000 people are in need of humanitarian assistance. ah, but that assistance needs to be developed in a way that it can actually get to the people who are most in need to live it in a nondiscriminatory way. and that means also providing at cross border and they have been blocks actually, you know, certainly on the part of the tie government, i'm in allowing cross border aid and blocks from the mean. my military, don't her in not wanting aid to be distributed through certain groups. so you know, there are immense humanitarian needs in the country. and it is important that that aid gets to the right people. but it's also important that there is monitoring of that aid. so that, you know, the aid is not, you know, simply being siphoned off by the military. we saw the lords here protest that
1:09 pm
happened predominantly peaceful ones at the start of the, of the, the military crew. 2 years on are the people and me and more as in terms of your assessment essentially resigned to the situation that we face. now i don't think they resigned. i mean, even today in bangkok for i saw myself groups of protesters protesting outside the u. n. there were also a protest outside the embassy, but for people inside the country, you know, any form of descent is being swelled to and i think, you know, that has actually, you know, really put fear in, in the minds of many of the protesters. many of them have had to flee the country for their lives. so you've had something like 70000 people, leave the country, others internally displaced about a 1000000 people internally displaced. so i think there is actually still a lot of resistance and i think as long as the military continue to use these very
1:10 pm
heavy handed, repressive tactics, things like air strikes, which you know, it's just barbaric to be conducting. it strikes, targeting civilians against your own population. you know, i think this is only going to create, you know, larger waves of resistance. and you know, we do continue to see many pockets of resistance across the country, which is why our conflict and violence has been escalated. we heard earlier, the human rights minister mia mos government in exile saying that one of the problems was more sanctions had to be brought and more action had to be taken. is there a risk? do you think that the world is forgetting about me and my i think so, and i mean, i think, you know, we shouldn't just remember what's happening and me and mom today on this very grim end of history. the 2nd anniversary of the qu, i think, every day we are hearing reports of more toss cities and you know, we all seem more talkative sanctions being implemented as trailer, for instance, announced the new round of talking to the sanctions. and i think you know what,
1:11 pm
we need to see better coordination. and we need to see other governments including some of the se, and governments support the enforcement of those sanctions. and only that way will, will it really be effective this year, indonesia is tearing out the end so far, you know, we've seen this 5 point consensus that was supposedly agreed by me in a line. and yet 0 efforts to implement that 5 point consensus. so i think this year is going to be a really critical year for me and especially since the junker is talking about holding elections later this year. i think the international community needs to make it very clear that those elections will be a sham so long as every basic rights of people in me in law, continues to be repressed. and as long as political opponents remain in prison. in a peer sensation director with human rights watch and we appreciate you being with us mom, and i'll just, you know, thank you very much. indeed. thousands have turned out to watch. pope frances lead mass in the congress capital kinshasa. he's the 1st roman catholic,

1:14 pm
a proxy of neighboring rwanda. they were one to deny that 23, the territory from the congo government, then displacing hundreds of thousands of people. so when the revised version of the district was, was published in eith and not widely towards the v because it's no longer secure. but when we were that just a couple of months ago, reporting on that conflict in a field near the town, it was a half bill giant structure podium like this one but bigger. it was, po frontage. was meant to me, thousands of villages live around with meant to speak to them, but told us disjuncture was never finished when we were there. we found communities army officers using it as a command center for the operation in combat with the n 23. great, welcome. thank you very much. indeed. that's marco, my bringing this up to date from kinshasa say more ahead on the news are including

1:16 pm
policemen killed in that deadly blocked hill from this district. their bodies of gods have been brought to their villages there. you can see behind me the people who are now here for prayers with the family to show their solidarity with their families. we also have the leader of the army national party and my while yukon. i will also hair to pay his condolences and we ask him that same question 1st to fall or the big question that everybody is art king as to how could this have happened in such a secure, gone? and do you really think this was a suicide bomber, or was it more than decked? no, thank you for your concern and thank you for the concern of your attorney for destination and the situation as we speak. so we don't know how comes a normal guy cannot enter that place. the situation is
1:17 pm
a clearing up as the time is going around. first of all, the concern is that this wasn't a suicide attack. unluckily, we have seen a lot of suicide attacks. but we have never seen a suicide bomber collapse of building this is for the 1st time we are seeing a building being collapsed and then giving it the name officers and bomb. and then number 2, as the building collapsed. i guess when you're watching the television till about 45 minutes, we couldn't even get where the blast have taken place. but in the next 15 minutes we got to know wisdom. where he was, where he is from, which group he's from. what i think this is a story which has been created and now they are trying to lead to the nation towards x toady. the u. k. largest coordinated strike action in a generation is expected to get underway on wednesday, up to half
1:18 pm
a 1000000 train or bus drivers, civil servants, university lecturers and security guards of walked out and disputes are paid jobs and working conditions. the trade union congress represents most shows unions in england and wales is opposing a proposed law that would require union to provide minimum levels of service on strike days, more than a $100000.00 teachers and also staging the 1st strike in schools in england and wales for more than 6 years, they were given a 5 percent pay rise last year, but they want an above inflation increase of more than 10 percent. teachers as striking in england and wales today because there has been over the last 12 years, they're really catastrophic long term decline in their pay. teachers of last 13 percent or over that period. that's in real terms, a huge amount to lose and that is causing or re recruitment and retention crisis in our schools. so schools can't get teachers and teachers out saying in the
1:19 pm
profession and her that's the topsy combination of overwork and underpay. so teachers are saying very reluctantly, none of the people behind me wants to be honest right to day. but they are saying very reluctantly that enough is enough and that things have to change. when the voc is joining us live, no from london, the scale of this stroke action is significant, isn't it? mean, i mean, what's driving the teachers on to the streets particularly has pretty shocking, given that this is probably the largest multi sector strike that we've seen and at least a decade as well as the teachers that are going to be by gathering here at parliament square a so, so the civil servants is train drivers, it's university staff to, to number a few. the main issue that most had sectors on basically focusing on is the desire for greater levels of paid to beat the soaring levels of inflation. the county stan at around 10 and a half percent that's amongst the highest within the g 7 grape of advanced
1:20 pm
economies. many teachers are simply saying, look, we cannot afford 2023 prices given that many of us a still earning what we're earning a decade ago. or some at least have seen a significant caught in their salaries in real terms when you factor in inflation add to that also the workload is changed dramatically in recent years for teaches the amount of time the teachers actually spend in the classroom is just simply the tip of the iceberg, they're also welfare offices. daily a's with parents. they were administrators on top of the obvious mocking homeworks and planning lessons as well. and despite the fact they may have longer holidays and other sects, his teachers say will all of that evens out. and they'll even given the opportunity of earning over time pay as well as you heard that from that key figure within the teaching union. and there isn't a real desire for many who entered into the progression as a vocation to be out on the streets and denying people's the chance to learn. they see this is the only option at a time and which caused such
1:21 pm
a spiraling out of control for many of them. and that is key, isn't it? because there were, if i understand it correctly, there was there were offered about 5 percent. i think last year, but that's not good enough now is it? yeah, that's absolutely right. but let me clarify what that 5 percent actually means. yes, it was agreed to out of pure necessity when it comes to the teachers. let's not forget when it comes to all the assets in schools, teachers are perhaps the most important figures without money is an extra money provided by the government. that is, money does come from the school budgets themselves. so it was not going on the schools and going on the teachers, it means that school maintenance costs are having to be cut. so old buildings are not being looked after that may have to cut after school or workshops, or school trips, or more importantly, extra support staff for children that may need that extra bit of help or may come from deprive backgrounds. so at all there saw what it basically means that the standard of education in the u. k. is falling, the level of,
1:22 pm
of supports and extra things available in schools is reducing. and it's also potentially widening inequality as well. if the support soften on on standby to give those children who need it, the help that they need. and this, of course, if this doesn't sound terrible enough, as it is, the national union of head teaches late last year was the by september. as many as 90 percent of the schools in england and wales could find themselves heavily in debt. so in the read, the result could be that further down the line, schools are forced to close or forced to merge, and teachers may end up losing their jobs. be barker from london leave. thank you. a black man who died of the hands of u. s. police officers will be laid to rest later on, widened stay. the family of terry nichols gathered at a church in the city of memphis on the eve of his funeral, to call for police reform. there were joined by community and religious leaders. 5 officers have been fired and charged for the fatal beating of nickels on january
1:23 pm
the 7th. the account was tyrene nichols in mrs. recorded on video is a glaring reminder that efforts to reform policing have failed to prevent more flash point incidence. and intractable epidemic of police brutality in this country . nearly 32 years ago, rodney king's beating by police in los angeles prompted, heartfelt call for change. and yet here we are 3 decades later, still calling for their change. deborah alexander was out there gathering a memphis accountability and justice that was the key message from the family of tyree nichols and also civil rights activists here in memphis. as they held this press conference a day before, tyree nichols, a funeral service will be held. now al sharpton, a national, a civil rights leader,
1:24 pm

1:25 pm
george floyd. the black man was killed at the hands of a white police officer in 2020 in minneapolis, minnesota. and they're saying that this will be a celebration of tyree nichols life. a life that was certainly cut short too soon. he was only 29 years old, and his family says that this will be a moment in the funeral service to honor him and his life and legacy. well, for many as we were hearing this latest example of police brutality is also reminiscent of the 1991 being a rodney king. and the signs nice back to say it's a sign of how little has changed since then. john hands and reports from chicago. let me give you a warning. you might find some of the images in his report. distressing. i protest after protest in united states in recent years, activists have insisted they won't be fooled again. what do you want?
1:26 pm
what do you. 7 want it many thought they'd seen progress now the fatal police beating and tiring nichols in memphis has many questioning whether they've made any headway at all in stopping police brutality against african americans. i've talked this was over with after george floyd, i really do is the head of black lives matter in lake county, illinois. clyde macklemore, no wide eyed optimist. had found new hope in recent years. but one incident after another, his dash then the state of policing has not changed us. jim crow. ah, this is, it was in about 7 black police officers. it was about policing in this country. each incident bears the name of a black victim from a deadly police, choking of george floyd in minneapolis to the crippling shots, fired into the back of the surviving jacob blake. and no, she was content. the memphis assault was so ferocious,
1:27 pm
it reminded many of the brutal $991.00 los angeles police beating of rodney king also captured on video. since then, police have grown more militarized, but they're also more monitored. there's been progress and holding police accountable. busy for misbehavior through technologies that record what they do at the scene, there's not been progress on the street toward repairing the fracture relationship between black, urban america and police officers. last year, police killed nearly 1200 people in the us, according to the nonprofit group mapping police violence more than in any year. in the past decade and black americans made up 26 percent of them, though they make up just 13 percent of the population across the country. it's not just communities that are demoralized. it's also the police themselves here in chicago over the past year. they've up recruitment efforts bringing and 950 new

1:31 pm
far right extreme is there is real and need to be tackled as soon as possible. frank assessments, there was a job about the interim government that it's not introductory nor does it go inside story. on al jazeera, every year in china, an estimated $80000.00 children are abducted by one of their parents. 101 east. follow some mothers desperately trying to re unite with their children. oh, now just sierra blue. ah, you're watching all does it alright over top stories this out. thousands of people
1:32 pm
have turned out to watch hope. frances lead mass in democratic republic of congo capital kinshasa is the 1st roman catholic leader to visit the country since the 1980s. in pakistan, a committee has been formed to investigate security lapses that lead to a suicide bombing inside a mall skin to police. compound, more than a 100 people were killed and monday's attack. people have been demonstrating outside mere mozambie in bangkok, marked 2 years as the militant seized power, right strip. so nearly 3000 people have been killed since i did hot eyes, the vice president of the european parliament and chair of the international parliamentary inquiry on me. in march, she told al jazeera, the international community must do all it can to support the giantess opponents. the democratic forces are joining air each other so that their disc, there's a very strong growing resistance against the atrocities by the hunter. and there, this means that the international community should take sides. we should not any
1:33 pm
more think that the military that, that my door is the legitimate 3 percent that people, the people on the, on mar. on the contrary, we should understand that we should do everything to support the democratic forces . now, also encompassing some ethnic girl and regional organizations who actually have quite good governance structures to help people and, and their, the message from the international parliamentary inquiry was very clear that now it's time to do everything to support and give recognition and visibility to this national unity government because they have the capacity to build a new, a inclusive democratic myanmar in the future at what at their shadow government thought that national unity government now needs is capacity building health. and that's what we as say, parliamentarians in involved in this inquiry are calling for so capacity building so that they can govern. and i'm, i'm actually surprised to see that they are able to, to help people on the ground to, to reconstruct their bombarded schools to,
1:34 pm
to help bear pregnant women, et cetera, et cetera. so it's quite an amazing embroil of a democratic government. and by the way, there will be this sham elections that, that whole days planning for august, they had no legitimacy. they should not be given any recognition at all. in due time, democratic elections will appear if the international community will stay on the side of the democratic forces. you as defense, secretary lloyd austin's in the philippines to discuss deploying more american troops. that's part of our efforts to deter china's increased military activity in the south china sea. u. s. forces have also been helping the philippines with so called counter terrorism operations as a battles, a decades long conflict in the southeast. the secretary of state has told is really and palestinian leaders that washington opposes anything that puts a 2 state solution further out of reach antony blank and visited the region during some of the worst violence in years bonus. mesh reports from ramallah in the occupied westbank. in his meeting with the palestinian president,
1:35 pm
the u. s. secretary of state sticks with the line that washington remains committed to a palestinian state alongside israel. but antony blinkin knows it's a diminishing prospect. we have been clear and consistent. neither side should take any, you know, or actions that right now potentially would, would add fuel to a fire and over the medium to long term would make out the prospects of achieving 2 states even more distant than, than they currently are. so far, $35.00 palestinians have been killed this year in confrontations with israeli security forces. benjamin netanyahu returned to power in december and appointed far right. politicians and religious nationalists in senior cabinet post one of them national security minister at my bank there has promised to give more gum permits to his railey citizens and expand the legal settlements in the occupied west bank.
1:36 pm
and it is a very high risk of escalation. the, this new israeli government is very fast as far right on. it's very intent on committing inflicting violence upon palestinians. and in fact, in their political mandates are where, where premised on that. so i think in the weeks and months to come, we're going to see a cooler regime of occupation inflated upon the palestinian people. mahmoud abbas, and the palestinian authority are reliant on international pressure to make sure israel honors its commitments when it comes to the occupation of east jerusalem and the west bank. we want a complete cessation of all unilateral is really actions that undermine all signed agreements. it is the main way back to re engage politically and end the occupation . the heads of the jordanian and egyptian intelligence agency sat down with the bass, head of his meeting with blinking an indication of the concern in the region about
1:37 pm
the security situation here. it's understood, they asked the palestinian president to adopt a flexible position with the americans. the palestinian authority wasn't expecting much from antonio. lincoln's visit, certainly not a commitment to re engage on a peace process with israel. the u. s. is concentrated on the war in ukraine threats from iran and its relationship with china. there's certainly no evidence of any real pressure to stop a slide into a wide conflict here. the palestinians are on their own bonus smith. i'll just era ramallah. the us justice department says for more men of being charged in connection with the assassination of $800.00 president, joined the boise been transferred to us custody after being detained in haiti once it was fascinated at his home in july 2021. by mister, i already took over is interim leader. gang violence has been escalated since then . my car has more on the arrest from washington d. c. well,

the aircraft size sleep design and highly advanced technology amazed travelers the nose for those who could afford it, the upper deck was an airborne island of luxury in free champagne. the upper deck was a thing of beauty. just still access through that staircase and p like you were in your own private, louder. but it wasn't just a jet for the jet set before the 747, long distance air travel was unaffordable. for most people, the new aircraft range and capacity changed all that. the engines were the 1st high bypass commercial engines in service, which meant their economics were so much better than previous generations of engines. and that really help get ticket prices. over the years. the $747.00 carried some historic passengers, including ayatollah homeys return to iran. from exile in 1979 and the

decade. rob reynolds al jazeera little under charlatans, managing director of aviation advocacy. it's a consulting group that focuses on commercial and corporate aviation is john gast, i from colmerton in france. very good to have you with us. so we had about the, the technological advances that the 747 heralded. but what made it assemble, why did it become an icon? well i think for passengers it became an icon because it was just so recognizable but bump at the front, which then lighter, of course in light models got got stretched. i made it very easy to see if it'll say quite lodge, obviously, which also might of the easiest but ah, and it was quite beautiful, i think as an air on knowing and us m like a gauge. but as, as aircraft designs go, i think it is, is right up there. it's a really, it was a really sleek and delightful looking aeroplane. i'm from an airline oper right. his perspective, it became an icon because it was the 1st air applied. it was,
1:52 pm
it was twice the size of many airplanes flying around when it was 1st introduced in about 1970 a coming into commercial service. and that meant that to fill the airplane up, we had to start to look at new sorts of ticket price models, new sorts of ticket pricing. it was really the start of mass tourism will certainly mass tourism involving aviation and, and that made it an 8 craft way. a lot of people had their 1st day of a holiday or the 1st ever i the cities holiday on things like that. so it, it was an aircraft that really captured, captured the spirit of the time. of course, that had been many famous aircraft over the years, but this one would imagine is very emotional time for the people who designed and built the 747. 0 yes i am and even indeed people like me who are not involved at all. but who worked in a nail on as i did for many years that had
1:53 pm
a fleet of 74 seven's the the air craft has done so many remarkable things that long distance records numbers of passengers on board records as an australian. it was, of course the aircraft that we used to evacuate down after the satellite, tracy, it was the craft we're used to take our last remaining biggest to the, literally for the 75th anniversary of, of the battle of glibly. it all lives sorts of things. any iconic thing that seems to happen historically seems to be involved the 747 it's. it's just one of those aeroplanes, rob reynolds, our correspondent, was talking there just a moment ago about the fight. that of course, this is part of the progression towards more of a foster, but also more efficient aircraft having sat on all of that and allowing for all of that. do you think there will ever be anything quite as iconic as the 747, the error i ever again know? obviously the answer to that very shortly is no. it was. i think what we're going to say is, as, as rob said,
1:54 pm
in his report where we're going to say small aeroplanes, the economics of smaller to engine aeroplanes is so much better than the economics now of a 747. of course, at the time it, it, it changed the economics altogether bit life moves on, and i think we're going to see many more frequent smaller airplanes flying to many more different cities, which means the 747, and it's, it's, it's arrival or the patch. it will be much less, there'll be nothing to replace that i think. and the craft will be harder to spot the difference between i suspect as well. why is it that aircraft provoke such emotion in people not only who traveling but those who are involved or in any way interested in them? it's a great question. it's a great question. i'm on the wrong person to ask because on amanela, jake, i might be you've got to ask someone who, who could, who gets excited that might cause wide is that they also get excited, better appliance. it's a great question. i think it's because of what they represent, the,
1:55 pm
the ability to escape it. vast distances to really put your previous world or your current world behind you in a way that the cars and trains and ships dined. it's the, it's the speed with which they move. it's a great question now. it really is rob um it and aeroplanes an aeroplane disaster god for famed that we had them. of course, his front page news for weeks and weeks. everything about airplane seems to attract attention under chart and managing director of aviation advocacy. so we appreciate it. thank you very much indeed. who has a pleasure? if, if a club wild cup kicks off on widened state champions from all the federations will compete for the trophy in morocco, going to include a team of semi professional players from new zealand. there's andy richardson reports full quin city, all black in morocco for the club world cup scene at the teams. greatest success they finished. 3rd, when the tournament was last hilbert. in 2014,
