this is g.w. news coming to you live from. military tightens its grip on power a day after staging a coup the army appears to be in full control of the country hundreds of government officials and activists are still being held prisoner of the former defacto leader also search chief is calling on her supporters to resist also coming up. on hold for many especially the elderly the clock is ticking but chance for i'm going to.

have to be patient because vaccines will be in short supply until. the u.s. east coast braces for a life threatening. vaccination sites and some cities close as a huge snowstorm causes chaos and new yorkers rest to stay indoors possibly could be a record breaking snowfall. plus millions of children are being forced to work and deprived of an education so why are some experts critical of the u.n. new gold child labor in 4 years' time. hello i'm terry martin welcome to the program the u.n. security council is preparing to meet in emergency session to discuss the military coup in. the u.s.

is threatening to re-impose sanctions to try to force the generals to stand down. the fact. she was detained and hundreds of confined inside government housing compounds the military claims november's election results which showed we enforce a cheese ruling party. the current head of the u.n. security council discussed her expectations of the emergency session will want to have as constructive a discussion as possible all me and the contents and range mentions with the idea all respecting the people's will express to. release in civil society civil society egypt. will be all i'm writing aims and will want to consider missions that will move us towards and we've got dave green about on the line now he's a journalist who spent many years reporting from myanmar and he joins us now from

kuala lumpur so dave the coup what has drawn condemnation from many countries the us is threatening sanctions is that likely to have any effect on the coup leaders receive just these these sanctions they get and i'm about why most are unlikely to have any impact on the decision of the general makes because are any of the generals make because they've been through this for decades in the back of the military and have very little impact or real concern would be if there are broad based economic sanctions that have huge impact on the overall 6 economy of myanmar which could take these people most of them live in absolute poverty and make things even worse for them to back the calculation have to be made by the work would they really want to risk have that happening the key player in a key question is how does china respond because during the days of the dictatorship of. china was their best friend and china could make them an overseer to ease the economic pressure on them so china's response to any economic sanctions

could have a real impact on thing what about the defacto civilian leader aung sun suu chee we understand she's under house arrest again she's calling on her supporters to resist is there any sign that her supporters are heeding that call. well clearly they may want they are whether she has she is the most beloved person in the country and the question though is what these people be willing to risk the repercussions if they were to make public demonstrations what we have some point 3 mass demonstrations in the streets of yangon the biggest city in the country that's a real question because in the past if you look at practice or eat the military they would sometimes put down these types of revolts often violently often with deadly force another thing to question your a lot of the leading activists in this country the people who don't organize the sorts of demonstrations even some of the people who give back in the eighty's who

are very much looked up to some of these activists in the country have been detained and some of the others have gone into hiding so it's really hard to want to right now who would be the people who would be the kinds of demonstrations if the public were to try to do it any time soon you talked about the military cracking down there are also serious concerns about the situation of the written to muslims in the country what consequences could this coup have for them. well the russians are the women the country almost overwhelmingly i'm in norman northwestern rakhine state what has been a horrible situation for them for decades this makes it even worse the military reserve track of our men to begin with keep in mind they were in their art they have their citizenship stripped in the 1980. s. makes matters worse many go over the border several years ago more than 700000 more and more them fled me a marker neighboring by my back to a military crackdown about the accusation the genocide any of hope that any significant number of them would be repatriating you know any time of year 15

completely daft frat because why would they want to go back to the country that is now completely ruled by the same military that drove them out and killed by some estimates more than 10000 of them dave thank you very much for your insights that was journalist day green a palm talking to us from kuala lumpur so you look at some of the other stories making headlines around the world today there is a heavy police presence outside the moscow court where judges will decide to russian opposition figure and putin critic alexei navalny should face a longer jail term he's currently serving a 30 day sentence after he was immediately arrested upon his return from berlin last pontifical the trial has been criticized as politically motivated as a volley has urged his supporters to protest turkish president have type of one said he would discuss drafting a new constitution for turkey with his party's how allies he criticised the current constitution for containing traces of military influence in 2018 turkey transition

to a presidential system that concentrated power in are the ones and those. french prime minister's own cus tax has launched a public consultation aimed at boosting confidence in the police this comes amid widespread accusations of excessive force among police and security officers nationwide protests erupted late last year after officers were filmed beating and abusing a black music producer inside his studio. and an out of control wildfire has destroyed dozens of homes close to the city of perth in western australia authorities have told many people living in the vicinity to be prepared to fight the blaze as it is now too dangerous for them to leave their properties. to the coronavirus crisis the pandemic is pushing hospitals in portugal to the brink of collapse the country has the highest number of new cases in the world

mainly because of the new british variant of the virus spreading out of control the situation is so critical that other european nations are now coming to the countries aid spain and all stria have offered help germany is sending a team of doctors and equipment this is the 2nd field hospital being built on this university come to us and respond within a few days this time the basketball court is being converted into a temporary clinic for $150.00 covert patients. jawad ok usually runs the university's sports facilities but in recent weeks he has also been working as an emergency. sports facilities very flexible and it's very easy to adopt this sport seoul to a field hospital more difficulty is to putin cite the human resources put to run. these kind of. doctors from germany are among those preparing to work at this

temporary corona hospital they are part of the medical team from the german military that is set to arrive in part about on wednesday lispunds largest hospital right across the street from the university campus has been under massive strain for days almost all of portugal's intensive care beds are occupied and there is an acute shortage of equipment the pressure on parts of god's health system seems to become unbearable ambulances often have to wait for several hours in front of the hospital before that patients can be admitted and many fear that in the coming days numbers will continue to grow. joe out ok it's getting things set up for the stuff off the makeshift clinic he had mobile homes installed for the medics to take breaks during their long exhausting shifts the mobile home project began 2 weeks ago and is already supported by more than $200.00 volunteers and 50 vehicles.

i should i couldn't what work here is pretty emotional last week a doctor knocked on my door and wanted to thank us she said she often desperate i think in addition to a place to sleep the medical stuff sometimes need support $4.00 to $10.00 precisely limiting it because each day the volunteers think that solidarity is the one positive thing to have come off the crisis and the fact that germany and other european countries are now offering help is giving an international dimension to that feeling of solidarity. well here in germany of the health system is still coping well but the country's vaccination program continues to be dogged by problems after a crisis meeting with regional leaders and representatives of the pharma industry german chancellor i'm going to urge germans to be patient she said most will be

offered the job by the start of the autumn. only around 2000000 people have so far received the vaccine in germany the rollout has got off to a slow start on monday political leaders spent the afternoon discussing with the bosses of medical firms how it can be speeded up but despite delays chancellor merkel repeated her clear promise does. 5 the end of the 3rd quarter by the end of the summer we'll be able to offer every citizen a vaccine. that said the manufacturers are also told us today that something that they can't foresee can always occur during production and they also will have no prior experience of this but i think the numbers for the different quarters overall are already very relevant. one reason the chancellor is confident he can achieve targets is that the producers predict they will make ever more vaccine official

projections suggest the government expects a total of $320000000.00 doses will be available this year but production cannot be ramped up immediately the current shortages are likely to last for at least 2 more months into the 2nd quarter looking back the e.u. approvals process was slower than in some other places in part because it insisted on full approvals rather than provisional ones the chancellor defended that cautious approach. give me a couple more money would not have created more capacity from buy on track was in fact rather launch the americans have more options but our initial order of 200000000 doses was very high and we had hardly begun to look at the production side marburg in germany when the european commission was already negotiating a 2nd contract. but such explanations are likely to be of little

comfort to people especially the elderly who have been told to expect to get the vaccine but are so far struggling even to get an appointment. this is the. important thing is that the vaccination date is truly reliable people get really frustrated when the appointments cannot be kept and because the delivery bottlenecks and limited resources for that is what annoys people not so much that they might call up and ask 5 times and what's frustrating is growing as the lockdown drags on the government has set out a post way back to normality with promises of vaccine now they will face even more pressure to deliver. spring in our chief political correspondent linda crane here melinda there was a massive pressure on german political leaders at this vaccine summit to deliver more than just words did they. show you know one german newspaper is calling this

the placebo summit but i think that's rather a placebo has no effective ingredient and at this summit a very effective ingredient was produced and exchanged namely more facts and more information it was clear from what we heard in the press conference that the politicians at both federal and state level had not fully understood the complexities of the supply chains of the pharmaceutical firms some of which took part in the summit it was also clear that the federal government hadn't fully understood and the states need for more reliable information for a planning purposes even if that information includes the fact that vaccine quantities in this part of the year until the 2nd quarter will be lower than many politicians had hoped so what we saw at the end was the politicians coming together to say that they understand now what the supply situation is that they will

develop a more detailed road map for the rollout by the new. it's month and we saw essentially more reliable facts and information both for policy making but also for the public which is exactly what we heard the person in the report call for. chancellor merkel says that all germans will have access to a back seen by the end of the 3rd quarter that's 8 months from now how realistic is that and how is that message being received. actually she's promising that all germans who want to be vaccinated will have that opportunity by the end of the summer and there he has tables of vaccine deliveries they were reduced as a basis for discussion at this summit absolutely bear her out as we heard in that report the vaccine quantities will remain limited in this 1st quarter the

government's been saying that all along the next 8 weeks will remain difficult but after that vaccines will pick up significant 70000000 and it's june and a 126000000 doses throughout this summer so basically it looks like the chancellor absolutely is right and experts bear her out. well into thank you very much that was a cheap political correspondent well the new craze. so you look at some of the other developments in the pandemic investigators with the world health organization are searching for the origins of the corona virus at an animal clinic in wu han china this could provide insights into how the virus might have crossed from animals to humans the us is ordering millions of rapid home tests for cove it by 19 they can detect the virus in 15 minutes with 95 percent accuracy

schools and stores and austria are set to reopen next week fishel say the students will be tested regularly for a face to face lessons wearing masks and social distancing will still be required at retail stores. in the u.s. senate democrats gear up for a 2nd impeachment trial in a week's time the former president has until today tuesday to formally respond to the charge against him is accused of inciting the deadly insurrection at the capitol on january 6th meanwhile the investigation into the riot itself continues scores of people have already been arrested in what's amounting to a probe of unparalleled scope d.w. correspondent stefan simmons reports from washington. fears and diehard supporters of donald trump scaling the walls of the u.s. capitol these images showing what is now called an attack on the mark received an

insurrection and failed coup attempt in which 5 people died still calls us disbelief and concern shock and anxiety for millions of americans today however just hours after the storming of capitol hill on january 6th federal authorities started multiple investigations in how exactly this happened and who is responsible for almost 4 weeks after the attack on capitol hill this fence and pretty much the only visual signs and reminders of what happened on january 6th here but behind the curtains and behind the doors the investigation into what happened and who is responsible for this it's in full gear. hundreds of 50 i agents at headquarters in washington and from dozens of field offices all across the u.s. are following thousands of federal agents are sifting through an unprecedented amount of evidence including at least 2 100000 digital tipoffs from various social

media platforms. at least 300 people are under active investigation and at least 150 have been arrested so far officials say this was just the 1st face of what they say is an investigation of unprecedented. the investigation would shift a little bit from low hanging fruit off people let's say who filled themself attacking and getting into the capital committing one crime or another it would shift now into a more complex and complicated way why's that because now the f.b.i. will look into conspiracy in organization in organized crime how much was organized of this attack what was the suit level of sophistication in preparing for the attack and who was involved. federal authorities say they are in for the long haul when it comes to their investigations and answering the other questions

back on capitol hill the temporary fence surrounding much of it will perhaps also remain for longer than originally planned the interim chief of the capitol police wants it to become a permanent fixture staying in the u.s. much of the east coast there is being hammered by a major winter storm causing widespread disruption cities including new york and boston have even suspended their coronavirus vaccination programs as they brace for what could become a record breaking blizzard. authorities started sending out winter storm warnings as the 1st flakes began to fall on sunday night public bus and commuter rail services was suspended in many areas across the northeast of the usa thousands of flights were canceled and schools closed meaning disruption for daily life in new york city mayor bill de blasio said the snow meant the city's fight against covert 19 would also have to go on hold situation obviously the 1st thing to say is that

the storm is disrupting our vaccination effort and we need to keep people safe we don't want folks especially seniors going out in unsafe conditions and to get vaccinated shortly afterwards new york state governor andrew cuomo declared a state of emergency in the city and the 9 other counties he warned residents have a tough 2 days ahead if the storm reaches its maximum potential the white out could threaten the previous record snowfall set back in 2016 that storm saw the city pummeled with 70 centimeters of snow. but heavy snowfall and strong winds didn't deter many who were determined to make the most of the wintery conditions on monday . were a central park on a drive and a planned it is the city until i get too tired have to go home. with officials

urging people in the region to stay off the roads and avoid nonessential travel to be either in the park or at home seems right now to be by far the best option. the u.n. says the covert $900.00 pandemic is putting more children at risk of being forced into doing under-age work and threatening decades of progress toward ending the practice of child labor now the u.n. has set. a goal to end child labor by 2025 in 4 years' time but a group of researchers with expertise on the issue say removing children from work is of no help if it drives them into deeper poverty w.'s blais a young reports from cameroon on children who work in gold mines most size diggin in search of gold and used. together with his younger brother he was 7
