a young woman draws on her own painful past to help victims like herself. i'm nick spicer welcome to the program nina mars military junta has cut off internet access across the country as protests grow against this week's coup crowds of people took to the streets of the largest city young gone on saturday to denounce the military takeover riot police blocked the streets using barricades and water cannon many of the protesters wore red in support of arrested leader. recessed and superiors to be growing this demonstration in yangon is the 1st such mass public protest since the military took over the country on monday among the

chants military dictator fail fail democracy wind and demands for the release of elected leader aung sun suu chee authorities were not far away army chief min on lying seized power on monday alleging fraud in a november 8th election won by aung sun suu cheese and l d party the electoral commission dismissed the army's accusations. now the country's internet access has been severely reduced independent monitor net block's says me and maher is in the midst of a 2nd nation scale internet blackout with connectivity at almost half of ordinary levels other reports say the military government ordered the shutdown of facebook and twitter claiming the spread of fake news protests against the military coup have also spread to other countries in melbourne australia hundreds of demonstrators expressed their concern. when i. show you know why says

too that the military knows that we're not gonna stand back and let them do whatever they want him. off. and in taiwan hundreds of members of the me and mark community there also came out in force. the woman. who had more than 30 years of repression from the military government with them thankfully we don't want to go back to that little thing pool play with a few months and so we hope in our next generation can live in a country like taiwan where everyone enjoys civil rights don't think i was right you're here today i like it. despite efforts to silence protesters in myanmar calls for an end to the coup are still loud and clear in the country. and for more on this we're joined now by alps hooker in london he is the director of that blocks and geo that monitors cyber security and governance on the internet internet forgive me mr chalker your organization has for years now been following monitoring

how governments turn off the internet to to stay in power what do you see in mar. well it's been an x. coordinate week i mean you know you could start you look at when incidents which he was deposed monday by 3 am the internet was partially cut so there was there was a blackout already information control essential to the way that this was done this this uprising and coup was done in an information blackout a vacuum where people can speak up where people couldn't share their opinions and we've seen this progress in different ways we've seen facebook the most popular platform in the country talking not long after by tuesday wednesday on various writers in different ways because of the military was not very clear in the months they basically said look basic and provide is did it anyway they could so it is

being a calamity it's been really operators trying to push back say they don't want to these platforms but then being closed in compelled to do so in many cases and and what does it mean it to the protestors and indeed to ordinary citizens who may not be protesting when the internet is switched off in this way. it's extremely distressing so you look at some of the loss of social platforms ok these night he worked around there are ways there are tools but then once people start to work around these tools use might go to twitter as well and authorities also not twitter so i don't step by step people are losing their ability to communicate and when the internet as a whole starts to become restricted at nation scale then this is extremely alarming and. people who have no option they are stuck with or they're on the street protesting or at home are powerless and voice this and this is

a complete progression this goes to send country back decades absolutely decades and it you mentioned there are ways to work around it there is there are there is a technology available to to ordinary people it's not too complicated. since 2019 we've tracked social media markets in. countries and each one of these incidents has a different story a different mechanism. when social media is restricted you can actually get work you can use a virtual private network to tunnel to the outside world. this is a challenge to authorities and they will also ensure it's the end and that's what we're seeing happening we've seen this. restriction as of saturday morning today we saw that connectivity dropped to 30 percent and then 16 percent nation scale so users couldn't connect to the internet so there will always

be those ways of diminishing over time and these days people don't have anymore it's not the ninety's where the media had and and way out people can really relate nowadays on the internet which is perhaps the key issue ok well thanks so much for that insight altucher director of that box from london. today is the international day of 0 tolerance against female genital mutilation the u.n. estimates that some 200000000 women and girls around the world are affected by f g m here in germany more than 70000 are thought to have been circumcised a young woman is now sharing her own story in order to sound the alarm about the practice and to help victims. jalil here kumar was a young girl living in somalia when she was mutilated. i was 5 years old when my

grandmother took me to a doctor i didn't know where we were going life and i'm told that's the challenge here was under anaesthetic when the doctor removed much of her wrists and fall for she realized her genitals had been mutilated 20 well cap. shut the pocket schmidt's i was in intense pain and asked what to tap and my grandmother told me you've been circumcised that was a big shock for me it was shock kumagai lives in the german city of dusseldorf she helps other circumcised women here vitamin b. hear that mutilation happens here in germany as well you don't have to get into a plane and fly far away it happens here and in neighboring countries. it's estimated that 75000 circumcised women live in germany 20000 john girls are in danger of mutilation the organization that kumar works for helps victims deal with medical problems. it's not so few and you know for circumcised women urinating or

having sex can be painful. and can be complications during childbirth. much like the physical damage the emotional scars last a lifetime. and here are some of the other stories making headlines around the world though. has released a journalist working for cutters al jazeera after more than 4 years in pretrial detention behold hussein was held on charges of spreading false news and belonging to a bad group is released comes after egypt and gulf states agreed to restore ties with qatar which they severed 2017. in italy the former head of the european central bank has secured the support of to keep parties as he seeks to form a new government marial draggy has the conditional backing of the right wing leave and the populist 5 star. further talks are expected next week at least governing

coalition collapsed. german chancellor angela merkel has vowed to provide more support for the government protesters in belarus germany would ease visa rules for persecuted dissidents and offer to help victims of torture. bella ruse has been gripped by months of protests stemming from a disputed august presidential election and a brutal police crackdown. a code 19 has devastated many parts of the world with millions of people infected and more than 2000000 deaths and counting but the impact has varied considerably between countries even ones with similar resources since the pandemic began people have been wondering why that is now a new scientific study says it has the answer and my colleague reporter pablo foley ileus has delved into the results pablo this sounds intriguing tell us more. it certainly is well what the researchers found that actually country fared in the

demick doesn't. relate directly to whether the country is wealthy or whether at the population has access to at you know good medical health care and in fact it has a lot to do with culture so what the research did was it looked at how populations react to will say rule breaking in particular and it divided them up into countries which would be we'll say loose and we'll say cool culturally that would mean that they had the populations tend to be more rule breakers an example of that would be say the united states or the united kingdom and then they looked more at countries which were a little bit more strict so culturally and tight an example of that would be south korea or japan where normally the population would have by more by social norms so let's take a listen now to add a professor at michelle gelfand who was that leading this research what we know now

is that looseness can be a real liability during times of collective threat in our research published this week in the lancet planetary health we found that list cultures had 5 times the number of cases and over 8 times the number of deaths now at this research site is that it analyzed data until october and then a 2nd wave since then in many parts the world has anything changed. well the 2nd the 3rd even a 4th wave depending on where you look at nic good as you know a good example of where things have really changed since the research and it would be here in germany in fact and what's interesting is that the researchers didn't actually change their opinion with regards to what they found in the previous research let's take a listen again to at professor. but in that context some countries that were doing really well when we were analyzing did it not tobar had a lot of problems there after germany austria were doing really well early on the

pandemic but had large spikes in cases this fall and so it's a reminder that even cultures that lean tighter can prematurely loosen up and so we need to really been thinking about as we go forward. managing the nature of this threat and tightening when we need. so public just display devil's advocate here how how does the study explain countries for instance where they claims are rule breakers but who have handled code 1000 relatively well throughout. well a good example of a country that would fall into in theory this this idea of being a rule breaking country would be news even if that you zealand has reacted incredibly well to the demick they've only had $25.00 deaths and which is considerably less than other countries around the world and the reason they say is that there was incredibly good communication the country closed its borders early on the government there made tough decisions in the beginning of the pandemic which

then subsequently had you know many many benefits for the population a new zealand and it basically showed through the research that if you had these elements and the people came together at despite the fact that it may be difficult in the beginning and but they had a clear goal to work towards it could actually be they could we'll say countries that would be unexpected in this in this sense could actually go against the grain and prove that at working together does have many benefits as one would expect public fully alias thanks so much for that insight. and it's time for sports now in the modestly a rock bottom shelf to have some 3rd suffer forgive me another setback in their struggle for survival losing 3 nil at home against 2nd place are. you shall cosigning a show on the staff he made his 1st appearance straight after leaving for him but look at fault for light seats open or fail to mark french and north he moved in

capital women usually keep having children until they give birth to at least one son and girls sometimes are given 1st names like enough names that show they were on wanted. if they didn't give birth to a boy women feel somehow inadequate even before they start their own families women see the way their parents treat their brothers and how they react to the birth of a son that makes women feel that it's absolutely necessary for them to have a son of their own. knows that pressure all too well she accepts the 10 years with her husband as part of her fate as what god gave her but she says her family is much happier without him. i don't want my daughters to go through what i went through i want them to have a happier life. murder says she loves all her children equally

a good education and most importantly a happy family that's what she hopes for for her son and her daughters. in germany the number of new coronavirus cases is slowly declining but some regions are still so inundated with new deaths that look what trees have become completely unfamiliar to. there should be a moment of prayer but there's no time for that there are simply too many coffins too many bodies arriving at the dubai owned crematorium in saxony. and some days there are more bodies than we can actually cremate on a single day and this is a friend us for our employees also because there's no end in sight.

there if and. we're standing in the morning hall of our crematorium. it usually accommodates 90 people for the funeral services. unfortunately we had to convert the hall into a storage space because we could no longer keep up with the deaths 5th victims there with an additional double income. it's a difficult situation for us. because relatives can usually say goodbye to their loved ones here and who would. but at the moment that's not possible because there's no hope of move leave. no room for a funeral service not all of the coffins represent deaths from the coronavirus but many of them are marked so. these people have to end their lives without a final hug from their loved ones. lutes spanish cares for the bereaved he is

a pastor and do about. family sometimes only realize how dangerous the coronavirus can be once they've lost a loved one to it. when does your liberal buy from me and i have contact with families who have lost a relative because of covert 19 which kaurna they are in a state of shock and reconsidering things so we've done this 1st phase of mourning the so-called shock phase lasts longer for that because something inexplicable something in comprehensible has been added namely this pandemic the plan to move. the pandemic is far from over. get a hold monster is worried about the future then of the assuming that the number of infections remains high it follows that the number of deaths will to stay out of it is in. and that means we won't see any relief here until mid february at the earliest the carnage follows them. it is

a winter of mourning and as it is in many places in the world during the pandemic. they can use kovacs initiative aimed to provide more countries with different kind of accounting vaccinations and one donor says one of them were libyan off. i a glimmer of hope in the battle against the pandemic in honduras in february the country shed jewel to receive its 1st shipment of vaccines against cove at 19 the initial shots will go to frontline workers and the elderly. over $3600.00 people are known to have died after contracting the corona virus in honduras the deputy health minister says it's unfortunate there is no international law to regulate the distribution of covert vaccines like the one made by biotech pfizer.

by he says the rich countries have practically monopolize the vaccine and are denying developing countries access to more vaccine doses they had access so a lot went up and are likely to see where the hung jury and health ministry says some 4000000 doses are needed to immunize 20 percent of the population it's unclear whether one jurist will meet the target this year alongside the doses acquired through the kovacs initiative the government's also purchasing vaccines directly from manufacturers. but global supplies are limited and expense of. it has got more experience of them in the sea we have to beg internationally why because one jurist as a poor country has already used the money for other things. so we don't have money to buy vaccines from buy on tech pfizer but are all there are several $100.00

people will get there for you sort of based on current orders placed by the government the one juror in medical association estimates that far less than 20 percent of the population will be inoculated this year. a many hung jury believe the government should shoulder part of the blame. we put our trusting god above all and hope for positive results despite the negative expectations of some patients. we have met the 3rd if the government or doctored faster we would have had vaccines here long ago. you have been have to know when people are meant to know everything we're lacking good management the problem isn't a lack of effect a vaccine despite the vaccine skeptics it's simply the same people every person can know when i put it in a book and. the vaccines can't come soon enough new infections and deaths cruise

sharply in january in honduras. one father in the u.k. no actually not project to keep his disabled son engaged knocked down now artists from all over the world are participating. in these works of art at the result of a joint production between international artists and no one from southern england and his father. no one is epileptic suffers from cerebral palsy and cannot speak you know now but with the help of his father the 12 year old becomes back bob. he chooses the colors and paints the background then artists complete the pictures he idea for the project came about last year doing

lockdown as a way to keep you know what occupied. when actually coverage be our small call or don't we just documenting it york are not. just your friends are not all going to push out just a bit to see if this will collaborate with you. and by the end of the 1st day i think that what you are just really involved and it just grew from there. the backgrounds are sent by post and competed by artists from all over the world who found out about it through social media works inspired they know i have already returned from spain a stranger and columbia the boy who usually only gets letters from his doctors is delighted with all the mail is absolutely loud in background always become his new name are infinitely our reactor he's cool background really really loves it he loves all of the attention. at an. submission 250 of no was works are on display

the project is so popular that both father and son can hardly keep up with the number of backgrounds being produced a book has also come out and the works are set to be auctioned scene the money will go to the health centers where no $1.00 is treated and when the project has brought both father and son even closer together. and i give it to you when i get more i doubt you're going to make it not matter if you're getting in trouble or i don't. think. i actually haven't got any choice now or that i can go i mean john don't have to dream dream big all the time zones on just dream small and mostly small things. and. all it took was a father's love and the image a nation of a group of artists to give wings to a point from england. mean
