a new generation of radicals who doesn't support a family making waves in one of savings toughest races a couple compete against each other when they set off across the atlantic this weekend but the most difficult off leaving them to decide on that whole. band. play. hello and welcome. two journalists in a million modules in connection with their reporting on the ring a crisis are expected to find a piece this week the reuters reporter has an actual so who was sentenced to seven years in prison while investigating the alleged massacre overhang a muslim steering a military crackdown. there was widespread international condemnation of the trial details in southeast asia correspond bos'n hotting reports it appears to be a wider push by the man month government to stifle freedom of the press. a

worker strike on the outskirts of yangon. and. things get heated when protesters confront the police. lying to us and why is right in the middle reporting it live on facebook. but situations like these are not the dangers journalists like him fear most it's criticizing the powerful which has once again become a present danger in me and mark a risk blankets and why has to weigh up carefully whenever i have to publish a nuisance to you i need to kings. three times. that this story. this story can love me in the deal in men kids i thought he went to when to hide the real situation the

information so. so they also the authority also tried to as a threat alone and just so only too well the two reuters journalists were sentenced to seven years in prison after investigating the involvement of me and maher security forces in mass killings in rakhine state these are the walls of yangon's notorious insein prison back in the days of military rule that housed many a political prisoner nowadays more. more journalists have to do time here not only well known and also case to international attention there are many more just recently three journalists were arrested and brought here because they reported on shady business deals by the yangon regional government and its head if you maintain a close confidant of state councilor and nobel peace prize laureate aung san suu chiefs three journalists have been released on bail but the incitement charges so far have not been dropped if convicted they face up to two years in prison de facto

leader on sense too cheesy was once the figurehead of the democracy movement in her country a symbol of resistance against the decades long oppression by me and mars military rulers now she heads a party and a government that alongside that same military could tales press freedom in intimidates critical voices when they are lying runs me in march first investigative magazine he says the laws like the official secrets act the two reuters journalists were charged under need urgent reform as things stand he says journalists remain under threat. even when we use in our phone we very nervous who are sent which if a mission to my for everyone can sense so if a mission for to me if some official. fall some secret if. it will be valid into the secrecy so very we are very nervous not only me

but also my family also very worried about that the last threatening journalists like they are lying are currently under review a spokesperson for sue cheese party told us but it's not only the interests of the media the civilian leaders are considering they are also careful to avoid confrontation with the country's powerful military. that's a boston hottie who joins me from most of the two launches journalists to appeal against prison sentences this week what are their chances well it is a bit early to speculate on the outcome of a potential second trial but if it should come to that been a lot of it will of course depend on how the judges weigh the evidence and weigh the testimonies of the witnesses in the first trial for example there was one witness a police officer who admitted that the police basically set

a trap for these two journalists they gave them documents that allegedly contained secret state secrets and then directly afterwards these two journalists were arrested for possessing exactly these documents and that's only possible because of a law that dates back to the colonial era and that criminalizes the possession the mere possession of the secret information you don't even have to do anything with it you don't have to publish it or anything like that just possessing it is enough so you can be charged under that law and there are many other laws like that the defamation laws for example telecommunication laws that are very broad and very vague and that easily lend themselves to silencing and intimidating critics so a lot of observers are saying that these laws have to be changed and amended because as long as that doesn't happen it's hard to see how the situation can

improve in myanmar emerita and us in what it would. rule in all of this the full look toward democracy activists is described as mean must de facto leader but some say press freedom has declined since she took office she is really in charge what does she defer to the military. well the military of course in myanmar holds a lot of power and they have a long track record of cracking down hard on on critics on critics and on on this today but i think blaming it all on the military even though they play a big role playing in blaming it all on the military is only one part of the story because the government has its part to play as well if you look at examples for example at that case of those three journalists that we saw in the report as well who were arrested for criticizing the yang on regional government that is led by the end of the by a member of our party and they're the ones pressing these charges now they don't

have to do that they could have chosen a different path they could have said ok we'll try mediation through the press council for example they chose not to do that and that quite frankly does not only surprise a lot of people and it has over the last three years but but also it disappoints many in me and more every day each of these south-east asia correspondent boston thank you very much. this article look at some other stories making news around the was the man known as the father of the afghan taliban has been killed in pakistan muslim cleric. was known for teaching some of the top leaders in afghanistan radical movement unknown attackers killed him reportedly at a madrassa an islamic school he ran in northwest pakistan. policy this is this country will likely pull out of the united nations migration pact following similar statements from austria hungary and the u.s. poland also wants to reform its justice system something germany fears will

peacefully then individual people threw stones and soldiers responded by shooting into the crowds the army says they were forced to defend themselves against a growing threat. this will bring this supported by iran. would have a lot of money. to do its. job the. tree is supporting the group that will count. this group even if it was a. down market experts fear this prediction could be correct but they also say the military could be to blame while unkrich downs by the army are what radicalized almost a decade ago since then the jihadist group has killed tens of thousands of people. before so they don't allow test you might push your group to go into. yes or just throwing look at the history of the book what you do with what you pointed out it

actually started as a group just went into all space to practice islam as the seat you know and that degenerated with brutal tactics that put them on the ground and then they decided to take this where we are today. shiite leaders still appealing for peaceful protest but in the wake of the latest violence it's becoming clear that some followers like muhammad are ready to give their lives for the course. of their . marriage i don't want it to be sincere i feel sad that i lost him. but he died as a martyr. this is also my goal and not of my children ok it's a sign of success a sign that god has accepted our work. here because you can feel. that there was no need for now and says he will keep protesting until they release his

leader even if the government and security forces continue to choose violence over a dialogue that heavy. an international effort to create the world's largest marine reserve off the coast of antarctica has been voted down the proposal aimed to protect nearly two million square kilometers from fishing and mining in what's known as the vegetal sea now the area is home to an a real of marine life including undiscovered species according to some of the two weeks the twenty five nation members of the commission for the conservation of antarctica marine living resources could not come up with an agreement. to me now is john a horse iraqi is a marine biologist and director at greenpeace and he's helped win several major victories for marine conservation in recent years welcome john a greenpeace has been campaigning to create this large antarctic ocean sanctuary that was proposed by the but the international body overseeing marine life in the

entire arctic is voted the proposal down what's your reaction. john do you hear me. i think we're having trouble with the line to john i really will try and reconnect with john later in the program if we can bring that let's move on to some sports news and simone biles has become the first ever gymnasts to win thirteen one championship gold medals and she's amazingly won the final three medals while suffering from a kidney stone the twenty one year old seen here in qualification last saturday one the individual vault event at the artistic gymnastics one championships group the record set by billie ruth in baton rouge in nineteen ninety six it was the americans third gold medal of the week putting her halfway to

what's going on to talk to so i guess we're in a large position in that way where we can exchange quite a lot of our ideas and use each other to. to get better to get. the worst part is leaving their son in the care of grandparents while their boats battle the waves on route from brittany to guadalupe mail us at the school when i go to see i do so because it's my job. and we feel no guilt. but we have a seven year old boy and every time we prepare our departure the most important person is him. so you need a more present but all of. the para getting used to their new quarters for the next week or so but there is always a reminder of home. saying to our earliest earliest so we're now joined by john who is

a marine biologist and oceans campaign and director at greenpeace and he's had been seven major victories for marine conservation welcome john greenpeace has been campaigning to create this large and tajik ocean sanctuary that was proposed by the e.u. but the international body overseeing marine life in the antarctic has voted the proposal down what's your reaction. that's a real missed opportunity we had two point seven million people from around the world that were really pushing for action this year and you know these groups of diplomats came from a whole around the kamler world to. try to get this done but ultimately three countries really kept it from happening and that's russia china and norway and why is it so difficult to reach agreement on this and what is the interest of the think that countries that didn't vote for it it's a little disappointing i would hope that after we had the really important

precedent setting. decision to create the rossi sanctuary in two thousand and sixteen things would be a little bit easier but still we're seeing some of the same old arguments especially from china and russia they do have fishing interests in the region but that really doesn't explain it other countries do as well and they seem comfortable with the science underpinning this proposal so you know one of the pill the consequences of not protecting this is you know what exacerbated climate change for example you know this area is warming faster than almost anywhere else on earth so it's incredibly vulnerable krill shrimp plate creatures that form near the base of the food chain there they are food for whales and. penguins and just about everything else they depend on sea ice which is slowly mounting so as we continue to warm the planet this area gets more vulnerable and sanctuaries like this help increase the resiliency of the ecosystem and get

a better chance of happening thank you for head twenty seven major victories for marine conservation in recent years what would it take to convince the vetoing countries to agree this time round. well so far it doesn't seem that there are major concerns about the science so that's a really good starting point and that means you know since it's political then we can keep working on these countries to get them to change partly that's going to take some work within those countries to make sure that they understand their own people want this to move forward but also i think you know the european union can certainly help the united states some of the other kamler members and really step up their diplomatic pressure. right john was oceans campaign director for green priests us safe thank you very much for talking to d.w. . pleasure. and with winter foster approaching in korea it's
