hello and welcome if you're watching in the uk or around the world. well over 100 people are reported to have been shot dead in myanmar on the bloodiest day of protests yet against the generals. the crackdown came on armed forces day when the militaryjunta held a parade to show off its strength. 0ur correspondent laura bicker has this report from bangkok. defiant, determined and undaunted, even when faced with bullets. they scream in protest, armed with sticks and slingshots. street battles sprung up in over a0 towns and cities across the country. protesters sheltered behind makeshift barriers in their neighbourhoods, but the gunfire at times appeared relentless.

one by one, they carried — and counted — their injured and dead. this is the deadliest day since the military staged its coup on february the 1st. state tv had issued this chilling warning. to the youth who own the future, you should learn from the tragedy of earlier ugly deaths that you can be in danger of getting shot to the head and back. convince and prevent your friends, before doing something wrong. earlier, the generals had gathered in celebration of armed forces day. and in his address, myanmar�*s military leader, general min aung hlaing, promised the country would hold elections. translation: violent acts that affect stability - and security, in order to make demands, are inappropriate. but the people of myanmar want their elected government back, and appear ready to continue

their protest, even if it means that their cities have to burn in the process. laura bicker, bbc news, bangkok. let's have a look back at the events that led to saturday's bloodshed. myanmar held a general election in november, where ms suu kyi's party secured enough seats in parliament to form the next government. on february 1, she was detained along with other officials as the military seized control. in the next few days, protesters took to the streets in the first such protests of their kind the us imposed sanctions on the military leader and other officials on february 11. nearly a week later, the uk and canada followed but on february 26, an election official appointed by the military declared the november election results invalid. protests have continued since, with march 1a becoming the bloodiest day before sunday — 7a protesters were killed

across the country then. derek mitchell was the us ambassador to myanmar from 2012 to 2016 — america's first ambassador to the former state of burma in 22 years. thank you so much forjoining us here on bbc news. there have been many very strongly worded statements from international diplomats, foreign ministers, do you think they will have any impact on the generals?— will have any impact on the uenerals? ., ., ., ., ., _ generals? not a whole lot, honestly. i mean, generals? not a whole lot, honestly. i mean. it's — generals? not a whole lot, honestly. i mean, it's necessary _ generals? not a whole lot, honestly. i mean, it's necessary to _ generals? not a whole lot, honestly. i mean, it's necessary to show - generals? not a whole lot, honestly. i mean, it's necessary to show the i i mean, it's necessary to show the international community is watching. we are not ignoring these horrible images that are coming out, and in solidarity of it, people around the world that they have for the people on the ground, they need to hear that., clearly, that is not going to be enough to get the military to recalculate the path that it's on which is truly destructive for everyone concerned in the country. what might be enough? weill. everyone concerned in the country. what might be enough? well, there needs to be — what might be enough? well, there needs to be much _ what might be enough? well, there needs to be much more _ what might be enough? well, there | needs to be much more international

action and solidarity. different countries may do different things. the united states come as you say, they have imposed sanctions, targeted sanctions on individuals. the uk and that you have followed in turn. that kind of pressure is very important to cut off funds, to cut off weapons, to cut off access for the family, for things that they care about. but i think the neighbours, asian nations, japan, india, china, the study brutality and the study degradation of the conditions on the ground are leading to a potential failed state in the heart of asia. that is in no one's interest. it can cross borders, it will be damaging, and they could lose all of them because of private pressure but also some very urgent engagements, ratchet up the urgency of their engagement to get the generals to think about an alternative path.— generals to think about an alternative path. just to pick up our alternative path. just to pick up your concept — alternative path. just to pick up your concept of _ alternative path. just to pick up your concept of "failed - alternative path. just to pick up your concept of "failed state" l alternative path. just to pick up| your concept of "failed state" in asia, you would be talking about not just months of standoff, but

tomas morgan has this report. things are beginning to look a little brighter in wales today. as beaches across the nation are open once again. travel is allowed, much to the delight of these visitors to barry island. breath of fresh air. the kids love being out here, ice—cream and chips. it feels amazing. really hot. being out with our family. tourism has also partially re—opened. a welcome relief for the mcleer family, who have travelled to saundersfoot after being in lockdown in merthyr tydfil since 19th december. we started off this morning at 8:15, the traffic was very good, weather was very good. we got down here at about quarter to ten. we were saying, you know, "we've escaped, we've escaped." there is that feeling. although travel within wales is permitted, crossing the border either way is still not allowed,

other than for work, childcare or emergencies. some holiday premises rely heavy on the english coming here. however the prospect of any tourists coming back is good news for those in the industry. getting the owners back today will really help bring the park back to life. we only have a handful of local owners, people within the county, but that is a start to the season where we can start looking forward to getting back to some sort of normality. last year when restrictions began to lift, beauty spots across wales were flooded. today people were more cautious, planning their visits carefully. i was here five in the morning and i think there was only two other cars here. but i think it is more of a shock, knowing everyone's still in this phase of kind of going, "is it real? "are we allowed out now? "is it ok to go out?" national parks and natural resources wales have asked people to be sensible.

along with travel six people from two households are also able to meet outside from this weekend and organised outdoor activities and sports for under 18s can resume. any travel further afield will be discussed at the welsh government's next three weekly review on thursday. but for now, an ice—cream on the sand will do in this glorious welsh sunshine. tomos morgan, bbc news, south wales. the german health minister has said he would like the country to enter an immediate and complete lockdown to slow the spread of coronavirus. 0ur correspondent in berlin, damian mcguinness says the call from jens spahn has galvanised support for a new national shutdown. at the moment, cases are around 20,000 a day, 0nce once we need a lot done, complete locked on, that's what happens. germany is a bit more complicated because of the system here, the federal system here coming up to ordinate an awful lot of political actors to make something like this happen. but he has put his support

towards a complete shutdown of the country for up to two weeks is his proposal over easter. that really adds the momentum, because what we are seeing in germany since this past week of confusion over whether germany's going to lockdown over easter and what for and what sort of restrictions we've got, different regions doing different things, people here are confused. since that's, really, on the one hand, there has been increasing your rotation from voters who have had enough, frankly, of the year of restrictions. germany has not seen the restrictions we have seen in the uk or other parts of europe. so what some people are saying now is that with this exponential rise in new infections that a complete lockdown

of some form is looking increasingly unavoidable. i think the fact that the health minister is also of that opinion does make it more likely thanit opinion does make it more likely than it was even this morning. now let's turn to mozambique in southern africa where there are reports that islamist militants have seized control of a strategic town, palma, in the north of the country. security forces say government troops have been forced to withdraw and a huge gas installation run by international oil companies is now under rebel control. 0ur correspondent catherine byaruhanga has this update. well, the latest information we have from palma in northeastern mozambique is that there appear to be a lot of casualties from 3—4 days of this battle over the town. we have heard from eyewitnesses, there have been dead bodies lying on the roadsides, by the beach, so there are real

concerns about the fatalities from this attack. catherine, we know there was a group of, what, about 180 local and foreign workers trapped in a hotel that tried to get out. what happened ? so, when the attack began, you had a group of foreign workers, and then even local residents in palma who were all congregated at the hotel. they had been trapped there for two days, and finally, on friday, they tried to make a break for it to try to get to the beach and hopefully onto boats that would take them to safety. now, what we understand from people on the ground is that this convoy came under attack twice, at least seven of the vehicles were hit. some of the people tried to run back to the hotel, others we understand did eventually manage to get out of palma. but right now, it is very hard to verify numbers. it sounds as if the government has just lost control there. well, this is what a lot

of people are telling us. some are even relatives of those who have been caught up in this attack, and they say, well, a lot of us saw this happening, even though there had been relative calm in this part of mozambique. we didn't expect an attack like this to happen. and the real questions as to why the mozambique forces weren't ——we did expect an attack like this to happen. and the real questions as to why the mozambique forces weren't prepared to handle such an attack. but there are also questions for the international companies that do send workers to palma and villages and towns like this. there were questions about allies and countries that have citizens in this location, for example, south africa, the uk, zimbabwe, are they doing enough to make sure that the citizens are safe? right now, there are a lot of questions and a lot of anger. the headlines on bbc news... more than 100 people are reported to have been shot dead in myanmar on the bloodiest day of protests yet against the militaryjunta.

lockdown eases in wales — the first uk nation to lift travel restrictions within its borders. in egypt, efforts have resumed to try to refloat the giant container ship blocking the suez canal — and a big slice of global trade. fourteen tug boats are involved in the operation to free the ever given, which has been stranded since tuesday. the chairman of the suez canal authority says some progress has been made in restoring the vessel's steering and propulsion. more tugs are standing by to join the effort on sunday, with more than 300 vessels now waiting to transit one of the world's busiest waterways. here's our correspondent sally nabil in egypt. up to now, no—one knows when the giant ship can be refloated. there is a state of uncertainty here. the authorities say they cannot give an exact time frame,

they also say that the ship ran aground due to a number of factors — not only bad weather, but there might be human and technical errors too, and they are going to look further into that, when they start an investigation. the problem here is the congestion. a large number of ships are waiting to continue theirjourney and no—one knows when navigation can be resumed in the suez canal. for egyptians, the canal is not only a source of national pride, but it's a source of much—needed foreign currency. it is one of the most important trade routes around the world. the authorities here are trying to send a message of reassurance, saying they are doing the best they can, to bring things back to normal as soon as possible. but the longer the ship is stuck, the more disruption there could be to global trade. sal mercogliano is an expert in maritime history at campbell university.

thank you for being with us on bbc news. what do you think are the best options now for those trying to free this vessel? i options now for those trying to free this vessel?— this vessel? i think the salvage work that is — this vessel? i think the salvage work that is ongoing, - this vessel? i think the salvage work that is ongoing, smit - this vessel? i think the salvage - work that is ongoing, smit salvages the elite forests in marine salvage. they are the best of the best. the problem —— the problem with salvage of a vessel the sizes we have never really experienced a vessel of this size doing what it has done, ram its bow into asia and hang its turn onto africa. this puts in a very precarious position. you have to worry about the stresses on the whole, the whole cracking, there has already been flooding in the compartments according to the operator, and so a salvage operation like this requires time and very methodical work. unfortunately, egypt is putting a lot of pressure to move the vessel very quickly, but that could have catastrophic results if they are not careful.— if they are not careful. there has been some _ if they are not careful. there has been some talk— if they are not careful. there has been some talk about _ if they are not careful. there has been some talk about using - been some talk about using helicopters for using the container off the vessel. what you think about is a strategy?—

is a strategy? well, if you have is this vessel _ is a strategy? well, if you have is this vessel is _ is a strategy? well, if you have is this vessel is coming _ is a strategy? well, if you have is this vessel is coming from - is a strategy? well, if you have is this vessel is coming from asia, | is a strategy? well, if you have is. this vessel is coming from asia, so all of those containers are fully loaded. a lot of the weight in those containers may be beyond the capacity of most normal helicopters. plus you have issue with the cell guides within the containers. when you off—load a container ship or loaded, the ship has to be perfectly level so that it does not road out —— rub up against the guides. they may be able to get some of the top ones off, but it will be very difficult to do that. plus you have a problem with the containers being stable underneath the helicopter. if stable underneath the helicopter. if you think about all the boats that are delayed on theirjourneys and all of the orders that are made, especially online during the pandemic, that there is a lot of the world's trade there, and it is not all inert material, there is also livestock, is there?— livestock, is there? livestock, perishables. _ livestock, is there? livestock, perishables, there _ livestock, is there? livestock, perishables, there is - livestock, is there? livestock, i perishables, there is potentially medicinal medicine, there may be elements for covid in there that need to get there. i mean, obviously, we operate the world economy on a just in just out type of logistics where all our goods arrived just as we need them, and we

can consume them. this way we don't have to keep large stockpiles and stories. unfortunately when you live that type of supply system, it is very susceptible to interruptions and damage. ended in this case, you have a ship that is across the jugular vein of the trade routes between and asia.— jugular vein of the trade routes between and asia. what about the future of the _ between and asia. what about the future of the jugular _ between and asia. what about the future of the jugular vein? - between and asia. what about the future of the jugular vein? do - between and asia. what about the | future of the jugular vein? do think there are questions about the viability of the suez canal? the suez canal _ viability of the suez canal? the suez canal will _ viability of the suez canal? tue: suez canal will always viability of the suez canal? tte: suez canal will always be viability of the suez canal? "tte: suez canal will always be the viability of the suez canal? t'te: suez canal will always be the suez canal, no matter what. suez canal will always be the suez canal, no matterwhat. 0nce suez canal will always be the suez canal, no matter what. once it is clear to me see trade go through there. there may be differences in this. the irony of this all is that these huge massive ultra large container ships that you are seeing now are a result of the suez canal closing for eight years in 1968 — 1975 and shippers had to send their goods the long route around africa. they made their vessels bigger because it was more economical to put goods in a larger vessel then sell many small vessels. we are reaping that now in 2015 when egypt expanded the canal, they were able

to handle these ultra large container vessels. to handle these ultra large containervessels. i to handle these ultra large container vessels. i think there is a lot of blame to be focused here on the ship operator, the pilots who are navigating this vessel. a lot of issues at play here, we will not get a clear answer of exactly what the ultimate cause is until an investigation is done. ultimate cause is until an investiaationisdone. , ., ., ., investigation is done. great to have ou with investigation is done. great to have you with us- — investigation is done. great to have you with us. thank— investigation is done. great to have you with us. thank you _ investigation is done. great to have you with us. thank you for - investigation is done. great to have you with us. thank you for your - you with us. thank you for your expertise. time for sports, and for a full round up, here is 0lly foster. many thanks indeed. the first race of the formula 1 season is in bahrain on sunday. the world champion, sir louis hamilton, is going to be on the front row, but not on pole. he set a blistering pace in qualifying, he dominated every practice session in his red bull and took that into qualification. a third of a second quicker than lewis hamilton who will also be in the front row of ferrari, looked competitive with claire in fourth. carlo sansjunior eighth, fourth. carlo sans junior eighth, two fourth. carlo sansjunior eighth, two time world champion fernando was ninth on his return to the sports.

everything is painted so meticulously you wonder how were they able to do such a thing in 1432? the altarpiece was undoubtedly magnificent. its location, less so. officials at the cathedral along with the local government spent more than $35 million to spruce things up. virtual reality headsets will allow you to step back in time, relating a 600—year history. napoleon, the king of prussia and adolf hitler have all coveted this artistic masterpiece. it's a miracle that it still exists. otherwise, you only see texts on what has happened with it. with this augmented reality, we can really bring visitors to this past so they can experience themselves with their eyes what has happened. the covid pandemic means that, for now, visitor numbers will be limited, but soon enough the ghent altarpiece will be on display for everyone, in all its glory.

tim allman, bbc news. you're watching bbc news. now it's time for a look at the weather with ben rich. good evening. the clocks spring forward an hour tonight and the temperatures? well, they are set to spring upwards over the next few days. warm weather on the way for many, but across the north—west of scotland particularly, there is a lot of rain on the way. that could even cause some localised flooding. now, on the earlier satellite picture, you can see a lot of cloud extending out into the atlantic. that is heading in our direction. heavy rain through tonight across northern ireland and scotland, some of that into north—west england and wales as well. very strong and gusty winds across north—western parts of the uk. milder than it was last night. six to 9 degrees. but many spots will start tomorrow cloudy. certainly across central and southern parts of the uk. some sunshine initially across

scotland, albeit with some showers. through the day, our band of rain will push northwards again. that rain really setting in across western scotland, eastern scotland should see some brightness. and some southern parts of england and south wales should brighten up just a little. it is windy for all. gusts of a0 to 50 mph, maybe stronger in places, but a little warmer than it was today. temperatures perhaps up to 16 degrees across parts of eastern england. as we head into the evening, we keep cloud and rain, particularly up towards the north—west. it stays quite windy, but don't forget, you get an extra hour of light. the sun setting at 7:36pm there in manchester. now, as we head through sunday night and into monday, this wriggling frontal system will bring further rain across northern areas, particularly in north—west scotland. to the south of that weather front, though, we'll start to import some really quite warm air for the time of year. so you can see, where we have the cloud and rain on monday, especially for higher ground in western scotland. further south and east, the best of the sunshine lifting

temperatures to 21 degrees in hull and in norwich. and tuesday could be warmer still. england, wales seeing plenty of sunshine. some of that into northern ireland, southern and eastern scotland. still that rain for north—west scotland, but look at the top temperatures on tuesday. 22, maybe 23 degrees. but don't get too used to it. another big change on the way from mid week onwards towards the easter weekend. this frontal system sinks southwards, cold air plunges back in from the north, so quite a range of temperatures this week. london, for an example, 23 on tuesday down to 9 degrees by good friday.

hello, this is bbc news. the headlines... the un says it's received shocking reports of violence in myanmar — well over 100 pro—democracy protestors are reported to have been killed by security forces. lockdown eases in wales — the first uk nation to lift travel restrictions within its borders. borisjohnson says england's road map out of lockdown remains on track, as it's revealed covid booster jabs may be available as early as september. work continues to refloat the giant container ship blocking egypt's suez canal.
