during that time tens of thousands of people gathered and we walked for about 9 kilometers and. at that time i didn't see any. police force or any human rights violation but i don't think that pete's the whole picture. since monday the police force and the military has addressed each change their strategy the kind of internet strong one e.-m. to 9 am and during that time we don't know what they will do or what do you have done and jess last night in one of the streets in mandalay there were some firing off rumble let's and some kind of bullets were fired at civilians who are sitting inside the home and the other day there were some beating by the police force across the. city and. why and some protesters to hide

behind the fence it's obvious people's home they. put their rifles in the francis and shoot at them so i think it's a complete violation of human rights and i say you're talking about how you believe the security forces are changing their tactics you're changing your tactics as well as we've mentioned you know protesters have been blocking streets for example what do you hope to achieve today. our family target and our very reason for doing that is to achieve. 100 percent of civil disobedience movement and that by blocking the way the media wrote and by having the car group down in the middle of the street we hope we will achieve some delay in the process as well as we could deter the tanks and watch it canning jars and so far we are doing something and we do hope to

achieve civil disobedience movement to 100 percent we are not aiming to harm them we don't have any intention to fight with police we're fighting for all right. david joining us from mandalay myanmar's 2nd largest city as we mentioned protests underway today thank you for joining us to tell us a little bit more about it a to have a look at some other stories making news around the world hong kong media tycoon jimmy lying has been arrested again while already in jail he is suspected of assisting a fugitive who fled china and was captured at sea law is set for a bank hearing on thursday after having been charged with violating china's new security law for involvement in hong kong's pro-democracy street protests the wife of north korean leader kim jong un has appeared in public for the 1st time in more than a year resul june who attended ceremonies commemorating the birthday of her father

in law the deceased former leader kim jong il the secretive couple was married in 2009 and are believed to have at least 2 children together. almost the u.k. and the u.n. are calling for evidence missing to buy princess is alive after she released a video saying she is being held hostage in solitary isolation chaika latif is the daughter of shaikh mohammad leader of the united arab emirates she said that she had no access to fresh air or to medical care nigerian president mohamed who bihari is calling for a rescue operation after gunmen kidnapped dozens of students and some teachers from a school staff say that one student was shot dead in the attack that school staff also say large numbers of men dressed in military uniforms hauled away students from the government science college in qatar in the share state

a few of those kidnapped managed to escape a local government official says most of those taken were children the abduction follows other recent kidnappings with violent gangs to blame for those attacks. let's get a little bit more now on this developing story a pair trying to buy our correspondent. in dress who is standing by for us in of russia what else should we know about this kidnapping so far. the school children were abducted from dad dmitri's by these gunmen who i me uniform and went in. saw him just today and told me when i spoke with them the small unvetted telephone that do all we can all of us leave by line and with tools to join the up doctors. to escape i slipped into bruges a few shows i now see in cologne now dad being head calm but the 1st information we

have is 26 of this today and i missing the head count is 2 going on. so tell us what happens now because this is of course not the 1st time that there have been bay kidnappings of of this sort in nigeria. that is a very good question and that is because to many nigerians us to last can because the problem is most to schools deal on the fence different picture of this school depok is entailed boosh be it a primary school is secondary school or even universities this is how the us and disturb us are very porous the government kept saying dad try and fight to get by but the problem can occur. as we mentioned we don't have a claim of responsibility yet for these kidnappings but you know based on the situation on the ground are there any indications of who it might be.

it is still sketchy a security meeting is going on at the governor's house in just to where this kidnapping taking place sold but that demand issues people are asking to take in schools cost and look at implications with an education in nigeria and this is the same come pinned the book or her round in weekend into not just this is all but it did good and now it's spread into the southwest to the northwest parts of the county because it is deployed time we have been busy probably in nigeria. so why is it just joining us with a view from a bhutto on this developing story thank you so much well the corona virus is raging and mutating around the world in africa officially at least it is so far not as devastating as has been in other parts of the world but each country on the african continent has its own policies to deal with the pandemic with various

degrees of success and impressions from nigeria kenya tanzania and seychelles show how differently the global vaccine shortage is being tackled. high tech at nairobi's airport 3 robots maintain social distancing between travelers and health workers yessiree can check up to $100.00 travelers per minute now we have a system that is helping us to my needs. temperature checking and women to put up with. these 3 metal helpers cost 1800000 euros and were donated by japan but while high tech is here the vaccine is not. unlike for the east in the seychelles usually a paradise for tourists the archipelago is now attracting by rolla justs its 100000 residents are expected to reach herd immunity within 2 months faster than anyone

else in africa. the vaccine used here came from china which donated the 1st doses buying the next batch is unlikely to pose a problem seychelles has the highest per capita income in africa. meanwhile tanzania's president who holds a doctorate in chemistry sees things very differently. wow. you know that i have asked the minister of health to be very careful about importing vaccines because it is not always good for our country. on t.v. the minister now makes his lemons garlic ginger and onions into a potion that she says will ward off the virus. tanzania and the seychelles are the 2 extremes but most african countries fall somewhere in between the 2nd wave of covert $9000.00 hit the continent's most populous country nigeria with full force hospitals are full oxygen is running low and doctors are desperate

for the vaccine. looking forward to that and i hope that it will come to us as sort of us because possible quickly is not likely to happen in the medical journal the lancet scientists are warning that the industrial nations have already secured 70 percent of the vaccines that will be produced this year 70 percent for just 16 percent of the world's population. and older people. and the biggest. inability to solve health problems in. the w.h.o. originally wanted to distribute the vaccine equitably and centrally through its kovacs platform but now the little that is left for poorer countries can only cover 20 percent of their populations this year 3 times that is needed to reach herd immunity in kenya for instance that may take a long time. and in july of 2 integrated to with 2023 we are hoping

that they will even be more box inside and therefore coven many more people despite the robot's herd immunity here is unlikely before meant 2023 this poses a serious threat not just for kenya but for many african countries at least time for a new virus strains and resistance to develop the west would then be the winner in the global vaccination race without reaching its goal. well frigid temperatures in many european cities including here in berlin have driven up demand for places at homeless shelters but pandemic regulations mean there's simply not enough space to how's everyone a new initiative aimed to solve the problem filling beds of tourist hotels now empty due to the covert 1000 crisis. when i see your brains hit beilin some have it's harder to find shelter than others. but this man got lucky.

kristen who doesn't want to give his full name normally sleeps in an emergency shelter during winter now he puts the few things he owns inside a hotel over here 1st and feel safe and he can take a shower he also gets served warm food a real upgrade he finds a shop to shop in container i used to sleep in a repurposed shipping container. with a k. . but this is a hoto this is so much better it's bizarre stuff and abroad. the hotel vita is one of several hotels and berlin which are now welcoming homeless people like a stone it is a win win situation he has a place to sleep and take shelter from the cold while the hotel can make some money the city pays for the commendation. the bats were urgently needed explains organizer wolfgang which due to the covert prices shelters had to reduce the number

of beds to keep up hygiene measures. and they cater for how well the shelter usually puts people up in dormitories or even on camping mats and big shared rooms now we can't do that because of cobra which we're very grateful. because we can put people up in 20 brooms and it means we never have more than 2 or 3 to room type as on to them. and there is more that guests can return to their beds all winter long if they stick to the rules that makes all the difference as martyr who helps from the place and has a close connection to many of them i know. on that one from the young coleman says when they get here they're washed in the exhaust often depressed and lacking prospects after a few weeks here they've changed completely they have

a different outlook on the future some of them find work some even a home of their own. something better anyway. given or. living in his own home that is also a stand stream he's hopeful of realizing it once the culvert crisis is over. you're watching news still to come on the program i think james accuses apple of unfair business practices and finds a complaint with the e.u. antitrust regulators but they bite. the 1st nato defense ministers meeting for actually today will take up the question of whether or not to withdraw from the afghan war it's the 1st such gathering since the us election meaning a deadline set by the trump white house to withdraw all foreign troops by the end of may is now in doubt here's a look at what's at stake for the major players involved and crucially for the

people of afghanistan. attacks on police and civilians roadside bombs targeting go fish oils afghanistan continues to be hit by violence despite the ongoing talks between the government in kabul and the taliban at this very tickler juncture with such kind of the deterioration of situation we are getting closer to a situation of chaos and the need to ministers should really keep notes of this based on the other global universe so obligations of protecting civilians no one wants to troops to stay for ever or. says but to a responsible with troll should be based on conditions on the ground that seems to be a notion shared by many in afghanistan. for the average person rob honest on what they want is a decision that will lead to an end to the fight for the they can come to market

like this without work for the government what they want is an answer they want to know exactly what was once again what they don't want their opinion and when they'll be back all they want is an answer they can plan for. and this is one of president biden's most challenging policy dilemmas if he you asked pulls out of afghanistan by may 2021 as agreed in a deal between his predecessor and the taliban the country could plunge deeper into chaos if the troops stay the taliban could retaliate the administration will be looking to do 2 things the 1st is to withdraw more measured way that will solve it some stability from the situation in afghanistan and secondly leave the united states and coalition partners with some capacity for counterterrorism and do all of this in close coordination with its nato allies the biden administration has

strongly signaled that they will listen to the experts and will remain in afghanistan for the foreseeable future this is a major policy shift from the trump white house and this will be biden's 1st major policy decision for the middle east and could have a deep impact on this presidency americans have grown exhausted from endless wars and it will be a tough sell to the public that remaining in afghanistan is the best course of action. nato allies welcome the change in tone from the us administration the alliance relies on you as forces for logistical support in afghanistan and secretary general stoltenberg made it clear that nato wants leave before the time is right to clear hands that there may deadline could be extended there's no decision or ongoing event in this case and

that from what we miss you can only be a decision to say. as it is for a meeting that means you continue but how they continue remains a big question after 20 years of military presence in afghanistan elyse are growing increasingly war weary they've been successful in defeating al qaeda by had to realize they didn't have the capacity to reinjure new afghanistan they wanted to coordinate their next steps knowing that the price for leaving too soon could be very high and earlier we spoke with retired u.s. lieutenant general ben hodges about the challenges that nato is facing he told us that more european commitment in the alliance whiskey. the secretary general has talked about the need to prevent large capability gaps especially with the growth and speed of technological change this is important but i think the strategic

concept is also about ensuring we have a strong european hiller not a european pillow as the united states looks to china as its long term strategic rival and so the united states does not have the capacity to deter russia or contain iran which a blow comes and deal with a rising china live by the chinese communist party so i think the alliance focusing on its core mission of deterrence and defense in europe is really important and that was for tired u.s. lieutenant general ben hodges speaking with us earlier for my career epic games is taking its fight against apple to the hero pain for him antitrust regulators the 2 companies have been locked in a legal dispute for months it started when the game's maker tried to get around apple's 30 percent fee $5.00 launching its own in app payment system that prompted

apple to take a fortnight off of the app store and threaten to terminate the company's account a complaint to u.s. courts has not been resolved yet. for him chrissie flats and from business press the as we've been hearing epic games apple they're both american companies what is the e.u.'s role here. yeah right so you can think of this move as part of ethics comprehensive attack on what it sees as keeping practices on the part of apple basically they've had along with the lawsuit in the us they also have a lawsuit going in australia on that complaint in the u.k. as well so i mean we have to remember that while these are american companies they do have a global user base on and it is still up to the regional authorities to decide what the rules of the game are going to be in a given area so it will be up to your regulators to decide how apple can treat i phone users was in a block ok so it sounds like litigation though is progressing slowly in the u.s.

so what is epic hope that this new complaint will then accomplish yeah that's right it has been going on for some time in the us summer i believe now in the you know we've been seeing regulator is coming down quite hard on big act in the last few years definitely with a different tone than we're seeing in the u.s. and actually last summer spotify and a few other companies brought essentially the same complaints about apple to you regulators and they decided there was enough. to open an investigation into into the practices so i think doing the same thing certainly lends weight to to this issue and it's possible that it will become part of that scene investigation now if you does decide that apple has violated competition practices with this practice. they're facing fines of up to 10 percent of their global revenue so it's certainly

enough to make anyone in twice about about if that's really fair that's a big chunk of change so what happens next. yes so basically in may we're going to be seeing the companies meeting again in a courtroom in the u.s. meanwhile we will be following. the litigation going on in australia in the u.k. as well and i'm sure that you regulators will be the watching with interest you know those things develop and keeping that in mind for their own for their own issues as well kristie platz in front of you this thank you. in champions league football liverpool have been going to take a side rb life saved by a score of 2 nil in the 1st leg of the last 16 after a goal as 1st half mohammed sally hit the target for liverpool 8 minutes after the restart and sahil money needed another just 5 minutes later liverpool's win follows

a bad run of form their coach european club said he was quote very pleased with his side's performance i know i have to be pretty well and i know how. they can be football wise and how. overwhelming they can be in a game from a physical point of view so that's what we had to deal with tonight and the boys who played a really good game a really good game who created one big chance in the 1st half and 2 chances when they. shoot the goals of the 2 big mistakes of my team but at the end i think we have to be good chances and we will be one of the most important topics for a 2nd game to score when we create. that many chances that's important to score. and in tuesday's other last 16 game killian they starred as paris and john humiliated barcelona for one the french striker scored a hat trick with

a devastating display in spain after legal messi had given the hosts the lead p.s.g. have never won this competition they are now the clear favorites to progress to the quarterfinals. and byron munich defender david allen will be parting ways with the club after 13 years at the end of the season this after the 2 sides failed to agree on a new contract announcing the move at a press conference the 28 year old austria international said that he was ready for something new all of us name has been linked with a number of clubs in england and spain has won 9 bundesliga titles 6 german cups and 2 champions league crowns with pike. quick reminder of the top story that we're following for you protesters in myanmar have been gathering for some of the biggest anti to demonstrations yet some have started a broken down car campaign to block security forces the un has warned of violence
