they're being used to destabilize the country disruptions come shortly after police formally charged else that leader aung san suu kyi who is currently in custody it's ortiz accused her of illegally importing walkie talkies that were found in her home facebook had been widely used by pro-democracy activists a coordinated national campaign of civil disobedience against monday's coup. acts of to finds too noisy to ignore residents of young gun buying pots and tongue 3rd car horns for a 2nd night major demonstrations against the military for now have not taken place earlier in the day health workers and hospitals across myanmar wore red or black ribbons and refuse to do any non-emergency work. much of the civil disobedience is being organized online. activist fans aren't sure les ye is one of the

driving forces behind the calm pain. now young people in your ma we have it up our it up by we have to it's just that this is the only us we've been using this since the war. was that we are opposing the military. and a heavy military presence is on full display here in the capital naypyidaw tanks and soldiers were on patrol. the country's military chiefs appeared on state television and 11 members into has been appointed and will rule under a year long state of emergency. the whereabouts of myanmar's i've said leaders including own son suchi remains unclear several charges have been brought against her including possession of unlawful communication devices the ministry have claimed the reason for the coup was allegations of fraud in last november's

elections which suit cheez national league for democracy party one members of the party have condemned the coup. the military action to take control of the country is not a good thing considering we've had democracy peace the national ceasefire agreement . and we've had a well managed system to deal with covert 19 this isn't good at all for the citizens. despite international condemnation and open disobedience mars military appears determined to undo the course of the country's past to change . they've grown up as a journalist who's been covering myanmar for many years new joins us now from kuala lumpur dave the hunt has now disrupted facebook and other social media services which people opposed to the coup are using to organize themselves how big of a blow is this for the protest. certainly

a significant blow because facebook is the king of social media in myanmar for a lot of people that's all they know when it comes to social media and when it comes to the web for that matter that's of the communicate amongst each other that's how they get campaigns going during the political season last year that's how a lot of the campaigning went on because of hope in one team now it will people will still find ways to communicate obviously was not long ago there was no such thing as social media 10 years ago most people don't even have a phone in this country and people still found a way to organize and have demonstrations but this will definitely slow things down and complicate things for them so people are largely cut off from digital communications now in myanmar what steps can we expect the military to take next well just as i said people would find other ways to communicate keep in mind the military knows all about this and the military has an extensive network of informants inside the neighborhoods in the cities in the villages across the country these informants are as many people would call rats they're there to try to

find out what people are saying to each other what they're planning to do and when they're trying to do it and then communicate that message back to their superiors people who are paying them off in the security forces so right now becomes incumbent upon the people to think really hard about who they know how well they know them and who can they really trust and there's a lot of history here of conflict between the military and civilian population what are the chances that we'll see the birmingham people rise up day even challenge military rule this time will they really rise up and take to the streets in mass numbers of demonstrations what would take them over that line that's the big question because if they did that then they risk a serious backlash from the military. in the past also does they sometimes come back with violent force and sometimes deadly force it's hard to say what line would it take to get those people to take that risk thanks very much for this update that was journalist dave from kuala lumpur. see look some other stories making

world that the oxford vaccine works effectively and the really good news embedded in it is that it not just reduces hospitalizations there were no people in this part of the trial who were hospitalized. with covariate after getting off the job but also it reduces the number of people who have coverage after all even a symptomatically by around 2 thirds. well technology being used in another covert 900 bucks in co-developed tech has promised to become a powerful new weapon in the fight against another disease cancer as today marks world cancer day we take a closer look at the new approach that uses an anti cancer vaccine tailor made for each patient the treatment uses so called memory r.n.a.

and could be a game changer for cancer sufferers. a customized vaccine created for an individual patients particular tumor fast affective and with few side effects that's the promise of a new am r.n.a. technology in the fight against cancer. malignant tumors can slip past the body's defenses for years with camouflage so clever that the immune system doesn't notice the invader or it is too weak to keep the cancer cells at bay allowing the tumor to grow on the hindered. typical treatment involves surgery followed by chemotherapy to destroy any leftover cells it continues to fix in a doctor can't change the biology of this disease we know that latent tumor cells can survive inside the body for a long time and they can wake up and start to divide and proliferate again some of them. the messenger r.n.a.

vaccine is a totally different approach it's injected into muscle tissue where it provides the blueprint for a specific tumor protein once it has the blueprint the body then produces its own tumor modules the immune system recognizes them as foreign and produces anti-bodies . the body is now armed with knowledge of its enemy but. it's basically reversing the production process instead of making it in a laboratory with all the technical procedures it starts out inside the patient's body which all. them and me produces it on its own to teach the immune system what it needs to know. to not. be m.r. in a vaccine and this study is made by german pharma company beyond tech whose coated 1000 vaccine is based on the same technology cure of ak and the us based moderna are also using m.r. in a technology in the fight against cancer as well as covert the goal is to give cancer

sufferers personalized vaccinations in the near future. and this is a real milestone we're no longer talking about months or years until it's ready just weeks will its significance and potential efficacy have opened up a whole new playing field. much work remains to be done but oncologists worldwide are confident that the new technology will become a powerful weapon in the fight against cancer. of more on the future of cancer treatment and the challenges posed by the pandemic we have one of the organizers of world cancer day on call it just cruise he joins us from mumbai thanks for being with us dr de cruz 1st of all how promising do you think and lauren a technology is as a treatment for cancer. it's something that's evolving it's one of

the exciting new news there's a lot of that needs to be done there is a scientific basis in these vaccines and martinique technology it's not an area of my expertise because i'm a surgical oncologist but having been in the field for a long swallowed the progress it has and should in the is to come well some say that cancer research has been neglected because of the focus on covert 19 what's your take has cancer research suffered or benefited from the pandemic on the whole . covert 19 has been a say back book answer as a whole whether it is screening programs that was stopped whether it was fissions coming into the hospital and probably even seen the true impact of that in the in the us to come that it's on cancer research a lot of it was put back on hold but we have bouncing back and the getting there to

me i would see it as a plus and minus as when. cancer research now that covert 19 is the number one priority a lot of funds a lot of their foot diverted towards ovid soit will have some impact on the cancer research but then there's also the positive of the silver lining that they will be across effect what we've learned from cold lead what we've seen that. has done it's exposed to health care systems our ability to respond to these kinds of crisis we know one from the vaccine of all the health delivery systems that could be positive. impact on. controlling cancer. rezai sleeve and that it is going to impact on research i think the research will run battle to what's being done. at the pandemic has led many people to skip

a medical check ups as you're saying of stor and also to stop exercising stop eating properly are you worried that the pandemic has created a ticking time bomb of other health risks not specifically related to cover 1000. i guess there's some truth and more to sit there is a nice lancet publication that says because of ovid they will be diagnosis and the implications the ramifications will run for the next couple of people been present cli it will have compromised outcomes it's also true that. lack of exercise may be 40 eating when they were locked up or told more to have the implications on the non-communicable diseases but i see the lack as less of a problem because only the wardour of o.b.

have come to grips with covert 19 we didn't know what really hit us lack of knowledge but now as we have getting to understand the impacts people are coming back to their normal routine and i don't think of 56 month change in lifestyle is going to have such an effect on any of the non-communicable diseases but people just aren't in you in this kind of the way and they will have stayed then probably in the us to come they would be but i really don't see the act as so much of a problem in non other non-communicable diseases dr cruise thank you very much for talking with us dr cruises on color just president of the union for international cancer control thanks a lot thank you very much. meanwhile hospitals across portugal have been overwhelmed by what's become one of the world's worst covert 900 international health is being provided in germany provide german

spending hours waiting and violence just before they can be admitted to hospital many portugese were relieved to hear it was coming from abroad situation is really bad so every little bit coliseum it could it gives with no way of course it's just a drop in the ocean at the moment we definitely need more help but it shows how good it is to be part of the euro. portugal has been shut down since mid january nevertheless infection rates remain high many experts believe that the rep it spreads off new virus mutations are too late the arrival of the german medical team is a big topic in the portuguese public many commentators emphasise that germany is the 1st country to send a further delivery off medical supplies from germany is expected to arrive soon and other european countries including austria and spain have also promised to provide support. in other news netflix is dominating the dolby global markets
