during the days of the old regime the old who would have been jailed under well they did not do that and now this law is being used against her so how people likely to react. well you know we have seen some civil disobedience already in the army last night we saw people banging pots and pans hanging honking their horns as a show of protest against the military coup today we had people in hospitals who were demonstrating against the doctors and medical staff demonstrating against this military takeover but the real question here is down the road are we going whether it's days or weeks or months ahead are we going to see some sort of mass protests mass demonstrations and people on the streets of yangon and other cities in the country i've spoken to a number of contacts in myanmar in the last couple of hours they tell me people are furious about this not entirely surprising figured something was going to come they weren't sure exactly what it was and what it was but they say they are absolutely furious the question is no one really knows is this is what going to push people

over the actually they would have these mass demonstrations because if they go that route if you look at past history here the mammaries military in past years in the old dictatorship was known for crushing these type of demonstrations with violent force and sometimes deadly force so for the public now to come out and go for this would be a big risk for them to take is there that you've started me along the road my next question because what i was going to ask you what the playbook says about a military judge said reacting to civil disobedience because it's a hot story magine soldiers going in and beating up the hospital doctors nurses who are refusing to work. yeah it's hard to imagine that i mean what i'm especially with a pandemic going on you know some are not some are refusing to work some are working but they're wearing you know ribbons to trying to show their their loyalty to the l.d.n. on sun suu kyi and keep in mind here you know i have spoken i spent years in myanmar

and i've spoken to soldiers who had told me that they had voted for the end of the not as lax election in november well having been there since then it's hard to understand but election 5 years ago so it's hard to know that number is what percentage of soldiers did but there are some soldiers in the ranks who do support the l.d. the question is if there was a mass demonstration orders come what happens then thank you so much for that david good about him into a little. thing as a russia where security forces have arrested more than 1400 people during demonstrations against the jailing of anticorruption campaign i like saying the valley witnesses say police used excessive force to detain peaceful protesters the kremlin says the police response was justified on tuesday alexei develop he was sentenced to 3 and a half years in prison for violating the terms of his pro western governments of condemned the ruling and called for his immediate release. we the

heart for his wife you are. the only goodbye alexei navalny could manage before heading to prison earlier he told the court the charges against him were fabricated a way of intimidating his supporters. the will of the world all of these officers and this cage it's not a show of strength it shows their weakness they are weak. and they cannot jail thousands or even millions of people. outside the cavalry arrived early. lines of riot police stood in front of the court not to keep in a volley in but to keep his supporters out. as the day progressed police detained hundreds of nevaeh these supporters would come to show their solidarity. age was no barrier this woman stood her ground in defiance.

as night fell on moscow how the protests grew. but so did the presence of police in riot gear and the arrests. the tension is a price these protesters are willing to pay to speak their mind. we're going to go to i don't want my children to grow up in the same conditions i did alex say is trying to do something at least you know bali has just been wrongly convicted the country will never be free if this ortiz and the courts behave like this it looks like they will soon start beating us with a baton again but we came out so that our children won't be beaten with batons in the future. soon enough the police proved him right. there but tonnes directed indiscriminately at. anyone in the crowd. on the phone these supporters are taking

risks in the hope that the next generation one tattoo. well is going to be on this from francisco brown who was a member of germany's parliament and speaks for the opposition green zone european affairs welcome to day dubner alexina valley had his day in a duly appointed russian court and lost in reactions after quitting government a really terrible engine judgment is a political one de facto the basis on which this judgment has been our hand it is one that the european court and human rights has called a political judgement so there is an judgment from the european court of human rights to wish russia it's just signing up we stand at the original judgment against overly doesn't stand and all the standards of the who have lost their lives of political process we have now won despite before and it's terrible to see how the government treats the demonstrators not right so what should germany do about

this germany and now has to give up its support for a new plane to gas. pipeline nostri to it's an anti european project doesn't make sense for cairo but it doesn't make sense to make narrow agreements with the clique of oligarchs around entirely and these are really . putting so many people in jail and it's a moment when germany now has to turn to its european allies france's candidates asking for the stop as the european parliament everybody's asking for to stop this poaching and it's high time to end is not right i did. know that you put out a statement on this a little early i just want to bring up because you are actually quite strong in your statements again said you talk about the project supporting an authoritarian regime which is responsible for the murder attempt on the valmy his politically

potent motivated sentencing and the detentions of thousands of citizens who were fighting against corruption and for the rule of law so you are clear and consistent there given that this this this project is costing like something like 9 and a half a 1000000000 euros and of course we should make the point that nord stream is this pipeline bringing russian gas to europe given that huge cost not a half 1000000000 euros who should pick up those costs if it is canceled the question is if we start this project now and if we don't carry the cost now if you do carry it on for longer and feel the pockets of the only guards around and we think that this project must be stopped now it has been 9 billions invested in the fossil infrastructure i don't want the german studies of german guy on my hands of the ministry of economy that's not to mean clearly shall and will need less gas.

and dramatic or forty's that i wasn't quite clear i didn't quite clear you clearly hear your answer who should whether it whether it is if it is stopped now who should bear those billions of euros of costs. there are very difficult and tricky legal questions about what you can stop and where you have to reimburse companies and there are very different studies why go for a lower one and the compensation would have to be too much higher once it's a legal fight and so that's why i can't tell you how high it would be exactly there would be some recommendation i do agree but this is the costly radical right now in keeping on these guys oh it's just it's just import to be clear that the answer to my my question who bears the cost is if you don't know russia let's talk about sanctions or. do stop it as

a government of course it's like the government has to be recommendation the question is how high it is you slice it ok the 9000000000. all i want to know is how much should pay and what you are now saying is if this pipeline is stopped you believe the german government should bear the costs we will have to see it's a tricky legal question if we have to bear anything in what level that would be and all i'm saying is that if we continue with that projected costs will be high and we will be more dependent on the putin regime we will have investments of fossil fuels that we don't need it's against the climate ag goals that we have set so they are really high cost and we also have to measure it that we do have to pay when we continue with the project thank you so much for joining us sir francisco bruckner who speaks for germany's a green party in the parliament on your opinion of us. thank you.

new data shows that russian sputnik the vaccine is more than 90 percent effective western governments had initially expressed doubts about the vaccine because russia began to use it before completing the usual clinical trials but now results published in the leading medical journal the lancet appeared to back up brushing claims that the job is safe and hungary has already begun to use it. truckloads of russia rolling into hungary the 1st 14000 of some 2000000 doses ordered the distribution of vaccines in the european union just not quick enough for hungary. the faster we vaccinate the weakest segments of society the quicker we can lift restrictions on public life. as we've just got to chicago dash out sputnik beat was the 1st vaccine developed to fight cold at 19 russia began vaccinating people with it last summer even though clinical trials were underway hungary's emergency by last gave the vaccine to greenlight that's because sputnik he has

already been administered at least a 1000000 times without any serious side effects so hungry has decided to sidestep the e.u.'s common procurement policy. in very strict conditions and conditions under very specific criteria and then the member state is. russia's promising enough with its vaccine for 700000000 people sputnik to be is more than 91 percent effective according to a study published on tuesday in the medical journal the lancet the raw data used in the study has not yet been released unfortunately that's exactly what the european medicines agency needs. when the agency gets the data in the proper form so they can check it as with other manufacturers then i can't see why the vaccine can't be approved in europe. germany's chancellor agrees yes every vaccine is welcome but only those that supply the

necessary data and are approved by the a.m.a. will be accepted. it said the virus knows no boundaries if the data is correct that can also apply to vaccines. take a look at some of the stories making news around the world currency crisis but. britain has asked the e.u. to extend the brics a great. it until 2023 according to media reports it comes after threats were made against port stuff and checks were suspended extension pertains to goods to checks for goods moving between northern ireland and the rest of the k new regulations came into effect after bricks it was implemented. on 300 students in turkey out of their supporters have been detained this week for the violent confrontations with police i agree about president divides appointment of a party loyalist as the head of very prestigious istanbul the rector at the center of the break has ruled out quitting despite the arrest. world health organization

experts have visited their research center in the chinese city of new hand as part of their investigation into the origins of the corona virus pandemic who had it is where the virus was 1st thought to have crossed from animals to humans other china disputes this. india's government has condemned a series of tweets by celebrities in support of the country's protesting farmers tens of thousands of farmers of been camping at the borders of the indian capital delhi since november they're angry about new agricultural laws that i say will harm them and benefit big business the government says the change to modernize the country's farming sector after protests turned violent last weekend you know 30 suspended mobile internet in 3 areas around. the age of these are acts of forest biting has been following the tweets welcome alex so who has been tweeting well popstar rianna who has more than 100000000

twitter followers has already had had to eat about these fungus retreated almost 250000 times as she writes why aren't we talking about this hash tag farmers protest you can see it there and you can also see she's linked to a new story about. she wasn't the only celebrity gretta to in book who is the climate activist has also taken the side of the farm as she's tweeting we stand in solidarity with the farmers protest in india and also has a link to that same article never also been lawmakers from the us i'm from the u.k. also taking the side of the farm so what does the indian government said about this well let's just say that they are pretty furious and i think that over the past few months they feel that this protest is pushing their own government at risk and in fact the indian ministry of external affairs has put out a very long statement on twitter saying that vested interests are trying to

undermine the government in the very last line makes it clear that they think that international celebrities like riana and graphs are not helping they've written the temptation of sensationalist social media hashtags and comments especially when resorted to by celebrities and others is neither accurate nor responsible now the indian government themselves are now pushing their own hash tags including india together and india against propaganda which also have been trending ok now whether the government isn't you know the tweeting celebrities with twitter it so yeah that's right and these social media platforms particularly twitter have become quite a battleground over this between the government between these farmers protest is and in fact which itself battling the government the government ordered twitter to block the access of various activists as the government calls them saying that they

were a threat to public security twitter suspended at least $100.00 they now seem to be unblocking them but that is further angered the government they've now apparently written to twitter demanding that they a bay their demand that these people stay blocked twitter yet hasn't responded but meanwhile those protests are continuing on its 1st watch and thank you so. it's really plants and animals are dying as a survey that is at least tens if not hundreds of times faster than the average over the past 10000000 years as according to a new u.n. report out today on the culprits and surprisingly it's just mankind and the way that we eat is largely to blame stealthy and solitary cheetahs may not be the biggest of all the big cats but they certainly are the fastest reaching speeds of up to handed 30 kilometers per hour to catch their prey

but despite their speed their numbers are following the i.u.c.n. estimates that almost $7000.00 of the animals can still be found in the wild most in sub-saharan africa that's down from 100000 just over a century ago like many other animals found across the world their population is threatened. is that some of. the. farming in agriculture are a major driver of habitat loss and a key threat to more than 85 percent of the $28000.00 species at risk of extinction that's according to a new u.n. report released wednesday together with animal welfare organization compassion in world farming and british think tank chatham house. at the heart of the problem is

a cheaper food paradigm say authors which aims to produce ever more food ever lower costs. around a 3rd of land globally is currently used as a group cultural land with one 3rd of that use for crops and the remaining 2 thirds for grazing livestock. to battle biodiversity loss humans would have to lower their intake of meat reducing the need for more land and significantly cut our food waste say authors of the report changing our global food system may be an uphill battle but feeding biodiversity is paramount say experts. on earth is. almost the only species. depend on. the balance of the earth. to live on.

or diversity without reform destruction of ecosystems and habitats won't only accelerate biodiversity loss for animals like the cheetah say authors of the report but also threaten our ability to sustain human populations. and take a closer look at that report with john from t.w. environment well i just i said in the introduction that plants and animals are dying out at the rate that is at least tens if not hundreds of times faster than the average over the past 10000000 years so how do they know how does anyone know what went on 10000000 years ago. so we know what happened in the past because the fossil crew we know who the rate at which animals used to be dying out would probably be dying out and 2019 scientists did the study that was the most comprehensive assessment of life on earth in the pot on the planet that had to be done and in doing so they found out how much animals are dying out now how much of

dying out today and what this new report really sure if it is what actually noons what's causing this and how much food and agriculture and the way the farm is responsible to so many of the deaths of species that we're seeing and that we're increasingly going to be seeing right ok so the general thrust seems to be this is because we want more food or less but i look at that and i ask myself will why should i hire as mum with a limited budget and 3 hungry kids to feed worry about whether there are still sub-saharan subs and whether there are still cheetahs in sub-saharan africa. so the big problem of biodiversity loss is that it affects it affects the drivers that according to the more that we damage us oil at the moment chop down trees but more that we lose rich in the life forms of living in in our ecosystem. the harder it is

for us to use them as well that may be found cynical but it also means when we talk about 3 different from the more damage we do to wildlife the less able we are to actually feed ourselves from the same lab and what this report will say kind of nicely lays out how this fits into other crises as well or i think we're not just dealing with the loss of biodiversity changes to the climate but also the bigger issues like certain separate issues like hunger and through the city and one maybe finding that kind of record previous research that's been done on this as some of the shifts that we need to make to reduce our impact on the planet would also help us health as well you know key one being that if we cut down on the amount of meat that we're eating and increase the amount of plants and vegetables and fruit that we're eating we could also solve the crises ok so it's not just about buying mold can explode. know exactly and one of the surprising aspects absent many of you is

that that. organic tree i mean organic to have huge benefit to not that way samia to regenerative farming if you use the harmful pesticides and fertilizers that can get into waterways quezon animals fish and if you don't use it if you don't you don't help them farming techniques then you can avoid a lot of damage to wildlife that's true but scientists say there is a catch because if you have more sustainable farms they produce less food and here's where it gets really tricky because we need to feed a growing population the population is expected 10000000 by the 25th the and we still haven't told if you play wild hunger we still have lots of demand other demand for the lab that we live on and that means that it's a case of trying to trying to feed more can pull more healthy crude in and one same time reduce the damage to the so it's complicated i just niranjan from dublin
