standing and then they were most of them were very quickly detained we've now heard from independent monitors that just under 100 people were detained here in moscow today and of course that comes after mass protests that took place over the weekend where thousands of people took to the streets in moscow and in other cities across russia as well what is a volley facing in court today emily. well russia's prison service has asked for a suspended sentence that he has for a fraud case that was opened against him in 2013 to be turned into real jail time they say that he broke the conditions of his parole his defense in court has now been arguing that actually he couldn't have checked in with his parole officers at all because he was in germany being treated and in

a coma after having been poisoned as himself says by f.s.b. agency agents of the russian security forces and we could today see. getting several years in prison people are talking about it being up to 3 and a half years in prison or perhaps house arrest we'll have to wait and see what the court today decides ok and if that doesn't happen you know he has a lot of supporters out there we've seen them out on the streets as we've mentioned talk with us a little bit about the resolve among those who are supporting him the current opposition movement in russia to the establishment president vladimir putin. there just seemed to be almost a new energy among many in the authorization here in russia at least from what i've seen at these protests today at the protests over the weekend and the protests last

week just now i was speaking to some of the supporters who came out and who just came back here despite the arrests that we've been seeing here and at the nearest metro station as well and one young woman i spoke to said that i like say now by and he was not afraid to come back to moscow and so she also has a resolve not to be afraid either to come out today despite the mass arrests that we've been seeing of peaceful protesters and i think this these protests over the past few weeks and the support of say no viney are a threat to the kremlin now especially because many of the protesters that i have been speaking to over the last few weeks also been saying you know this is about much more than alex a nonbinding actually this is about the accusations of corruption that he's leveled at the ruling elite including at putin himself and they've been telling me that they want to live in a different country a more democratic country

a country without corruption and and so it seems that this is about much more than just the the trial going on behind me not only sure when in moscow thank you. the u.n. security council is preparing to meet in an emergency session to discuss the military coup and me on maher governments around the world have condemned to guess today seizure of power the us is threatening to re-impose sanctions to try and force the generals to stand down myanmar's former de facto leader aung sang suu kyi has been detained hundreds of officials are confined inside government housing compounds. calm amidst the political storm. people in the city of yangon adjusting to a new reality of military rule. a state of emergency has been declared for one year . despite calls for resistance by former defacto leader aung sang suu kyi residents

of me on mars the largest city are hesitant. we've waited for 72 hours but people won't go on the street in protest everyone knows the military has guns and they are used to shooting people i think people will find another way to protest. we are very timid and we can't say anything i'm afraid of them. many international leaders have expressed alarm over the coup the u.s. underscored its the port for democracy and me on mar also known as burma after saying it was quote taking note of those who stand with the people of burma in this difficult hour. i think it's a message to all countries in the region and countries who you know will be asked to respond or to consider what the appropriate response will be in

reaction to the events that happened over the past couple of days in the capital naif hundreds of lawmakers are confined in government housing complexes which are being guarded by soldiers. the military said seizing power was necessary after the government failed to act on claims of election fraud. on facebook the ruling national league for democracy party appealed to the military to free those detained and to honor november's election results which handed the n l d a landslide victory. they were the 2nd democratic elections in myanmar after a transition from decades of military rule now there are fears the country could slide back to its old ways. and journalist dave green a bomb has been covering me on maher for several years he told us why many believe

the economic sanctions are unlikely to have much impact. well if the past is any indication of what could happen in the future well then economic sanctions are only likely to have a significant impact on any decisions that the generals make a case in point this country during the military dictatorship that ruled the country until about 10 years ago there were crippling economic sanctions from the west and most of the population it lived in absolute poverty because of it but the generals and their cronies in the business elite were still rich now you could have targeted economic sanctions where you'd just pinpoint the economic interest of a few generals or many generals but some of them already facing those type of targeted sanctions including the commander in chief of the military senior general not on one he's already facing targeted sanctions and he still went forward the coup on monday so again any economic sanctions are likely to have little impact of the generals make they would have already made these calculations before going forward the coup now a key player in this well that would be china they were the best friend

economically of the old dictatorship that ruled this country until 10 years ago if they back up economically the new regime well that would give the generals even less incentive to reverse to reverse course. that's going to look at some other stories making news around the world and 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 as it is now too dangerous for them to leave their properties. turkish president breccia type area once said that he would discuss drafting a new constitution for turkey with his party's allies he criticised the current constitution for containing traces of military influence in 2018 turkey transition to a presidential system that concentrated power in air to one's hands. wark is conducting brags that checks on food and animal products at one of northern ireland's ports

positive thing to have come out of 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. and john philip schultz who produced that report joins us now from lisbon young philip tell us a little bit more about what's going on there what are your impressions i think it's no exaggeration to say that the situation is that really dramatic i've been talking to a lot of people that say we are actually dealing with a humanitarian disaster. and doctors are working around the clock increasingly desperate i have seen ambulance drivers from all over the country coming to the hotspot this point trying to have been whatever way they can one of the most disturbing and probably most symbolic because i have seen. long lines of ambulances and throngs of the hospital it's it shows the health system is not at the verge of collapse and some parts that are already collapsed that. help is said to be on the

way from other countries and what's the latest on that. well true airplanes from germany will be landing and respond to borrow one of them will carry 26 specialists among them a medical doctor from the military another one will carry equipment ventilator has a hospital bed and so on the equipment is really urgently needed because there are reports that a lot of product and oxygen is that running low and a medical 1st know will be employed to several hospitals here in the property how is that news been received there and portugal what have you been hearing what he has been seeing. it's been a big jump in here and of course the portuguese very grateful but at the same time it's clear that 26 medical experts cannot and the crisis it's going to be a beginning it's going to be

a very important symbolic gesture but it's can only the beginning and the portuguese have been always a constructive part of europe and of course they are hoping for more support spain and austria have already offered so support as well and of nervous expect that there will be more european engagement 'd in the coming that he is young philip schultz from lisbon thank you. and here are some other developments in the pandemic british scientists say that the variant 1st attempted in southeast england has mutated on its own into the same more contagious variant traced to south africa and brazil one of their all it just has born to the u.k. could become a melting pot for different variants russia sputnik v vaccine has been found to be 91.6 percent effective in phase 3 trials of peer review study published by the lancet medical journal poland has said that it will not give the ashes anika
