a popular uprising. local media reported that security forces opened fire to disperse crowds in the city of mandalay on monday and there are fears the situation could escalate despite international attention. mian mars' military junta has sent in the big guns soldiers are patrolling the streets a sign that the crackdown on pro-democracy protesters could escalate since this month's coup the military has given itself sweeping powers allowing it to detain people without court order. you know the way that you know if you've done it today here we can see military vehicles not police security like before they've tightened security at the central bank because this is the mainstream of the country's money in circulation they are afraid the central bank will stop working so that's why they have deployed the military vehicles here almost the ability. but the

demonstrators are not intimidated bank employees have joined engineers doctors students and even soccer players and refusing to go to work. oh you're going to people's actions won't stop because they have already taken the 1st step which is the most difficult one of all the lot of people are marching on the streets and they don't care if they are arrested or shot one of them we can't stop now the fear in our minds is going away. the release of civilian leader own son suchi is a key demand of demonstrators she was scheduled to appear in court but the hearing has been postponed until wednesday meehan mar does not have an independent judiciary system she could be kept in custody indefinitely but as government workers join the civil disobedience movement it could eventually become difficult for the military to keep the government and the hunters hold on it running. whispering in journalist david greene of here he's covered myanmar extensively and

joins us now from kuala lumpur the military the protesters and the u.n. are all turning up the heat in myanmar how do you read the situation there now it's interesting the military shows no signs of backing down the demonstrators signs of backing down u.n. clearly supporting the demonstrators here most of all of us here's what stands out the most to me and what you see on the ground. it's this government work stoppage so many government employees receive using to work for the us if this continues to pick up momentum and grow and more once government employees refuse to work within the military is going to have a tough time keeping the government running and that happens is key sectors will senior gentleman along with the head of that he's going to find ourselves back into a corner how does he respond then that's the key potential scenario we have to keep an eye on in the days and weeks ahead ok the military still has the upper hand for

now though what can you tell us about the military's deployment and young dawn the country's biggest city. yes some of these soldiers are from light infantry divisions which have a reputation for harsh. tactics i mean we've seen this with how they've run campaigns against insurgents in different parts of the country we saw what happened in the crackdown on the ring of that which drove more than 700000 of them into bangladesh and specifically some of these light infantry soldiers and young dogs are from the 77 flight infantry division why is that significant important human rights watch the 77th open fired on protesters back in 2007 now i'm not saying it's the same soldiers in the 77th today as we as there were back in 2007 but people in and the m.r.i. they've heard of the 77 i heard about them when i lived in the end on their reputation is notorious and they are clearly chosen for a reason to be on the streets of yangon right now and that reason is to intimidate

. the e.u. when has been very vocal more vocal than it has been in the past saying now that the it's the had better not crackdown or would face severe consequences how is that going down there. well the bottom line is obviously the demonstrators appreciate that support is far is the going to goes it could delay some tactics that they would use but in the end they've already shown their cards and senior gentlemen on if he decides that the only way he can establish a total of 40 is through brute harsh violent deadly tactics that he thinks the only way you can do it then he will use those tactics keep in mind this is a man who was spent his entire adult life in the very insular world of the me i am our military and now probably for the 1st time in his entire military career his

orders are not being obeyed and in the end he's going to do what he thinks he needs to do no matter what the u.n. tells. dave thank you very much as always that was journalist david greene about in kuala lumpur. catch up on some of the other stories making headlines around the world today a group of prominent pro-democracy activists have gone on trial in hong kong they're facing charges in connection with the anti-government protests that rocked the city in 2019 they include the founder of the hong kong democrats martin lee and media tycoon jimmy line. new zealand's prime minister just into our den has accused australia of shirking its responsibilities in the case of a woman with dual citizenship detained in turkey for suspected links to islamic state militants australia has cancelled the woman citizenship australian prime minister scott morrison said he was acting in the national interest and calm during

authorities incinerated nearly wanted to have tons of cocaine seized from drug cartels incineration comes as u.s. prosecutors investigate one during president on orlando one and as for accepting bribes to protect drug traffickers who shipped cocaine to the u.s. . the chinese government's crackdown on weaker and other minorities has had devastating consequences within its borders rights groups say more than a 1000000 chinese muslims held in so-called reeducation camps have been subjected to torture rape and other abuses but in this report d.w. fears of another sinister aspect of this campaign weekers forced to spy on the road while abroad expanding china's ability to threaten those who speak out. they say mean was a shop owner selling imported foods including how the products in his hometown of

carlo in 2015 when he returned to sin john from a business trip to malaysia he was stopped at the airport and brought to a detention center. can they brought me into a room from them or they sat me down at a metal table and they tied my legs and my arms to it. by stating this position for 2 days. we meet a say in an apartment in munich germany he says he was never told what he was accused of his papers say that he was suspected of endangering state security a suspended month in the tension then suddenly he was released but under one condition he had to agree that he would work for chinese state security. i thought i would just stay in touch with them i didn't have the intention but the term really worked for their work again. that was an illusion after his release a so you mean regularly met with an agent who introduced himself as bond. he was

able to continue traveling abroad he says in the beginning nothing specific had been asked of him and he maintains he never revealed information on anyone but it's impossible to verify these claims about one year later i was detained again this time he was freed with a specific request he was told to spy on a young man in turkey a cell left for istanbul then he decided not to return to china and went on the webcast with his story. of on cold after the show. and he told me you decided to appear on this show and talk about you know that your family is here in china or on the way out that stuff. since then many of his relatives have disappeared 5 siblings have been arrested ace's oldest brother was sentenced to 25 years in jail other we go gave him the news since he cannot reach any of his relatives by phone. a

lot and now the chinese government has separated us for. the public life wasn't bad . well i was in good health and doing all right financially not on. but it was a happy life permission. to try to see the place where he used to live an american colleague and i followed around closely constantly harassed. the villages in the area seem to really empty and many houses have been sealed by the authorities. before reaching us as village we are saddam's or. you can just walk around here and interview people there's been many negative reports. although. most of them do this is one day i ask. so many people have been detained and many disappear

every day. so the question is going to end. he answered america not america did not become america without shedding a lot of blood what a lot more is going to happen here. the company in the stuff. i face is waiting for his refugee status to be approved he thinks that he is relatively safe here but he also knows that he could be talked to and. i wish correspondent mathias bellinger who filed that report joins us now from beijing what is a mean status at this point does he feel safe in germany. well he's waiting for his status to be approved that means he will the authorities will tell him one day whether he can stay on not i don't know about his chances it's

very hard to. assess but what is clear that germany has stopped expose. the trading week is to china so being sent to china is probably not a danger for him help coleman or these stories of weekers being forced to spy on each other mathias and of having family members punished if they don't cooperate. well let's start with the latter it's very common to use family members in china as a leverage on exiles that's true for one chinese exiles the dissidents but that's even more so i want to for we get x. eyes for example the chinese government does not renew passports in the consulates in the chinese consulates of brought it tells them to return to china and their relatives are often used to pressure them to return to china where they face maybe

a rest that is one thing that the exiled community is being spied upon is clear. and but we do of course not have numbers there was another case off a week a spy would effect it and went public with this story a man living in istanbul and he was shot in the back recently about a month or a little more ago. nobody of course knows what exactly happened who shot but there is quite quite a lot of fear among the exile community especially in turkey that's the biggest exile community and it is of course targeted especially what is help remind us of why china is doing this what's the motivation for pursuing the weaker population wherever they may be.

well the things that are happening in st john they are very severe violations of human norms of international norms of human rights norms and the weaker exile community these are the people who bring peace to light it was weaker exiles who came forward with their cases of disappeared relatives that week an exile community is important for everybody in the world to get information from see john it is absolutely not easy to get information from there you've seen how little i could do there as a joiner list and of course the people who speak the language who are from there who know people there they still have sources i think that is one very important thing the other thing is that china is targeting the scent of brought much more than it had to before that does not only concern chinese ex us or they although

they are the primary target but it also sometimes concerns foreign nationals who speak out against china or disclose some of the activities that china is doing or foreign governments that interfere with what china sees as its interest its a there is a push to for its own narrative to be dominant around the world within the chinese bureaucracy but is thank you very much for your insights very valuable as always correspondent to tears burning out there in beijing. you're watching d.w. news still to come life was rough for these adults before a rescue shelter in thailand helped them get back on their feet but now a sanctuary is future is under threat. well in just a few hours a special flight carrying around half a 1000000 doses of china's sino farm coronavirus vaccine will arrive in hungary

hungry will be the 1st european union country to administer both the chinese job and russia's sputnik beat back scene the government has granted emergency approvals to the vaccines by passing approval from medical regulators after criticizing the pace of that you use vaccine rollout. hungary is going it alone last friday it became the 1st country in the european union to administer russia's sputnik v. vaccine starting with a batch of 2800 doses on tuesday a delivery of the chinese seen a farm vaccine is expected to arrive another 1st in the e.u. this is a clear break with the e.u.'s vaccine rolled out plan which officials in hungary have repeatedly criticized for being too slow. prime minister viktor orban said hungary is taking matters into its own hands. we can stop the virus

without vaccines because it will always come back in new waves that's why our country's most important task is to get as many vaccines as possible. not later as promised by brussels but quickly your strong. the russian and chinese vaccines were granted emergency approval in hungary but they have yet to receive the green light from the e.u.'s regulatory authority the e.m.e.a. they haven't been reviewed by hungary's medicines regulator either instead getting approval via government decree that strong criticism from scientists the prime minister has been looking elsewhere for inspiration. neighboring serbia which is not an easy you member was the 1st one sure in europe to administer china seen a foreign jab this helped make serbia the country with the 2nd fastest vaccine

rollout in the europe after the u.k. . vollard. in hungary or a ban says he hopes to inoculate 2500000 people by easter about one in 4 hunger ariens thanks to the scene of farm jab if successful hungary's decision to go it alone could further undermine the e.u.'s common vaccination strategy. of more let's bring in our brussels bureau chief for from the moment i saw over hungary is departing from practice and pursuing its own vaccine strategy. prime minister orbán is saying it's not about politics it's all about saving lives he has been criticised the vaccine rollout saying it's too slow and that is the reason for him to look for alternatives outside of the blocks come on procurement program but of course he's actions are also about politics domestic politics

for example with elections and next year he is under a lot of pressure to reopen the economy as opinion polls show a neck and neck race with a united opposition against him for the very 1st time and we also have to add that he has been seeking closer ties with beijing and moscow for a while now because he is at odds with the european union on the regular basis in particular over his stance on immigration but also when it comes to his government's treatment of independent media outlets of or opposition figures well in terms of diplomacy of procuring your vaccines from russia and china does make quite a statement in the european union what to hungary's european partners make of the. well as you can imagine brussels is not very happy about that for the european union for the european commission the reason why they were so eager to have

a common big scene rollout and vaccine strategy is was to make sure that every member state will get in their fix scenes that no one is left behind so to see hunger is breaking with the vaccine strategy no way no one is happy about that because defect that hungry is the 1st state in the european union to approve and now to administer the chinese vaccine also seen as as a huge credibility boost for beijing that is seen by the european union as a systemic rival but we also have to say that member states are allowed to buy the scenes outside of the contracts that the european union signed collectively floor for its members with different vaccine makers lots of eve member states or frustrated about the slow pace of rollout of the covert vaccines what are the

chances that some of those states might follow hungary's lead well i think we cannot rule that out czech prime minister bobbish for example visits it's put up a few weeks ago to learn more about hungry 16 strategy and even heavyweights like germany seem to be open to buying chinese or russian vaccines once they are approved and i think it's really depends whether the european union can speed up the scene programs under thank you very much to w.'s bureau chief in brussels underfund. well in thailand a sanctuary set up by a swedish x. path is taken in thousands of rescue dogs over the years called the man that rescues dogs foundation it not only cleans and feeds the animals also helps them quite literally to get back on their feet but no sanctuaries existence is under

threat. no stopping these dogs in southern thailand. the old disabled but can now run as fast as any of this thanks to their new wheelchair as provided by shelter in the province of china for any. help is that said the wheels are giving the animals and new lease on life. it's almost like they have no idea that they have a disability and once you put him in the wheelchair for the 1st time. it's like there's no learning curve they immediately know what to do. most of the dogs lost the use of their hind legs after being injured in accidents there among hundreds of strays been looked after at the shelter. as about a screeching the dogs with mobility aids and helping them recover from rifle in the street the shelter is also trying to reach the large number of unwanted dogs in the

province by neutering and spaying stray. but their work is being threatened by the coronavirus crisis since the pandemic began we've experienced an 18 percent drop in visitors virtually no bolland tears and a 40 percent drop in donations. it cost around $1300.00 a day to care for more than $900.00 dogs sophia's the fans might try up he's causing concern. for now though the dogs are still able to go out and make the most of their new form of transportation for her. the wheel of fortune will continue to turn in their favor. fresh from winning the club world cup in bali qatar bahrain munich we're back to bundesliga business and straight into a book very and blizzard on monday night and we're expected to swap aside lowly

bielefeld but the visitors began the match looking much more at home in the conditions. it was a less than warm welcome home for byron after they were crowned club world champions in the heat of qatar it looked like they'd become a little too used to the middle east and weather as bielefeld coached them cold. made it one nil after just 19 minutes. till it feels confident seemed to intensify with the blizzard a most people gave them a tuna lead to taken to hop. with the pitch cleared for the 2nd half by and looked on she. made it to 140 minutes but bielefeld went and restored their 2 goal lead a minute later through christine gave the austrian forwards picking a great time to score his 1st been dissed league goal such cannot be measured a ball for clearance on to liesl to make it 32 just before the full back.

from the winger led to by an equaliser through alfonso davis who rounded off the scoring with 20 minutes to go 33 it finished to leave disappointed faces by and dropped points in the title race and bielefeld blew their chance of a famous victory. streamliner the top story we're following for you here today on the news the u.n. special envoy to myanmar has told the country's military junta it will face quote severe consequences for any crackdown on protesters demonstrating against troop military leaders have cut the internet troops to quell demonstrations troops in recent days use rubber bullets and sling shots to disperse crowds. you can always get. just from google play or from the app store that will give you access to all the latest news from the world push notifications for any breaking
