ok. this is d w news live from berkeley and me and mass protest is saying they're undeterred thousands of people return to the streets to demand the military give up power just one day out to police and fire on a demonstration killing 2 people also coming up u.s. president joe biden declares a major disaster in texas and promises help for people they are reeling from the effects of severe winter weather our reporter made some of those most affected in houston. and germany is set to kick off a year of festivities marking 1700 years of jewish life in the country the campaign

also celebrates communities present day diversity me to jewish women making history in. i'm rebecca riches welcome to the program we begin in myanmar where thousands of people have defied threats of violence to take part in a new day of protests against the country's military rulers this comes a day after police fired live ammunition to disperse protesters in the city of mandalay killing at least 2 people and injuring several others the crowds were forced to flee as security forces chased after them using slingshots rubber bullets and water cannon the protesters were repeating because for an end to military rule after a coup 3 weeks ago. they returned despite the risk

the reality now crystal clear for these demonstrators after police killed 2 more people with live ammunition on saturday it was the worst violence since mass rallies began weeks ago past uprisings against the military have failed these demonstrators want them gone for good. i remember my parents fought against the military coup during the 1988 revolution and i too have to stand against this dictatorship if we fail to stand against them this time our next generation will live under the military dictatorship so we can't stop this time. but. i want to say through the media to the dictator and his henchmen. we are peaceful demonstrators. to stop the genocide oh. stop using lethal weapons. but they can't go

it alone protesters are appealing to the international community for solidarity. putting appeal to a lot of a number of people has increased today. and we will not stop. we will keep going till we reach our goal of democracy. i thought of that we want other countries to take more severe actions than sanctions. here's a look at what it did also did it. on sunday facebook deleted the military's page for inciting violence following saturday's deadly crackdown. the killing several only strengthen the protesters resolve. they hope that this time perhaps they can free me and maher from the military that refuses to relinquish

power. journalist dave byrne about who has reported widely on man in both in the country and out is now following developments from the malaysian capital kuala lumpur he joins me now dave protest as a gang taking to the streets today despite yesterday saying the worst violence yet in weeks of protests can you give us a bit more detail yes so you saw the large crowds out on the streets today you know and people these these memorials of people are doing to the people who were killed yesterday as well as the funeral for the young woman who died on friday i mean these people have become a rallying cries for the demonstrators it is just uniting everyone adding more fuel to the protest movement you saw the people not only louder voices but there are signs saying they do not want dictatorship they want democracy they want on some suchi free but we could really see some pick things tomorrow there are calls for a nation wide strike and already some of the country's largest retailers are

already said that they will not open tomorrow so with that we could see an increase norma's crowds out on the streets not only in the big cities but the small cities of the towns the villages this could obviously be a huge blow for the economy tomorrow but the big x. factor in all of this is how will the military respond. in dave now they're also strong condemnations coming from the international community what if any impact will that have on the military generals do you think. well when it comes to specialise we've been talking a lot about western sanctions that are coming out of the u.n. they made those calculations before they went forward with the coup on february 1st so as far as i'm just reversing course and saying are i forget about this military coup and go back to the bunker and give up on it that's not going to change anything the only way that could potentially change in the near term is with some real pressure from some asian countries such as china southeast asian countries but we see no signs of that kind of pressure coming from other asian countries that

that would have influence over them as far as the uses and mass violence force we've seen violent force used in some isolated incidents but as far as them shooting down protesters in large numbers the generals realize how bad that would look and that there's just no way they could get away with it the visuals will get out the information will get out so that might be something they would only go to as a last resort we could see a step up in large numbers of arrest as they try to crack down the fact that very well happen but if they see no way to stop this this nationwide civil disobedience movement they see no way that they can establish order because they do not have order over the country and if they think that mass violence shooting protesters in mass numbers is the only way they can do that and that would be a very real possibility. thanks very much for the analysis. let's turn now to some other stories making news this hour or 7 people on board a military aircraft have died in a crash near nigeria's capital of bhutia officials say the pilot had reported an

we live in a shiny identifies it's clear she's soon to become a rabbi and she's an avid instagram user she posed about religion sexuality and life in berlin and this refreezing to just off the generation connected by all of these aspects. what many people learn about judaism at school is really terrible so they're not really learning anything all that talk about national socialism but nothing about judaism as it is lived today that's why it kind of became my goal to show jewish life just how it is. killing they grew up in a religious household she believes there are too few women. in high positions and she wants to change that after completing her studies the 23 year old will likely be germany's youngest female rabbi she also wants to be the contact person she herself never happy. and very clear about the idea that nobody should have to choose between the jewish and queer identities you can't just choose what sexuality

you're born with if you develop with your sexuality and if you are jewish then you should be able to live both lives. that the jewish community has come so far is also things to women like. she had to fight heart to be recognised as a rabbi at all. there were people who left the room when i entered so i made sure that i was always there early because then i was already seated and the other said to think about whether to sit down and join in or not. back converted to judaism now she is the rabbi of poland's new synagogue berlin is also where the very 1st female rabbi was ordained in 135 begin i do want us you want us however was limited to teaching religion and rabbinic opus torah care. that. they are she is and you can basically see her main point that god did not quite

reach and she just wanted to be a rabbi she was the only female one but that has to do with the shoah they were probably other young women who thought and dreamed of doing the same thing and for me it's just wonderful not to be the 1st. line. the holocaust is for ever present for juice in germany you know you want to us was also murdered by the nazis and what is it like today. it isn't has gotten louder and above all it's become more outrageous it's often hidden. in judaism in germany today it's more diverse than it has been in decades people like you lena will never let that be taken from them again. some sport now in germany has been this leg of frankfurt have won the title race wide open up debating lake latest dynamic to one that if it is binds 3rd of the ses and.
