when it turned out to me and maher that country's military or regime is facing group growing pressure both at home and abroad 3 weeks after its seized power the european union has warrant that it is considering sanctions and the u.s. says penalized now to more generals protests and meanwhile continue to swell in me and mar despite the authorities threat to use more force against the crowds and at least 3 protesters have been killed even though the regime insists that police are using minimal force. want to welcome mat now journalist david greene an about who is a tracking this story for us to the the military's warning that protesters could suffer a loss of life in a very dire warning there seems to have encouraged more protests. yeah i mean

they've just been coming out especially if you look at yesterday's turnout which you know there's estimates that there may have been roughly a 1000000 people across the country demonstrating and i would not be at all surprised if that's the case i mean certainly seem to have well over 100000. biggest city although if you look at all these people clearly taking the threat of potential deadly force seriously some of the demonstrators they write their blood type and the information for their next of kin the contact information on their arm so they're well aware that this is a military that in the past has used deadly force against protesters such as 20071808 among other times that's just not clear right now where would be the line that they would actually use deadly force that the military has already threatened to use it again and they've obviously as we've seen see that in 3 isolated cases so far but we haven't seen it used against mass numbers of protesters at this time and as this crackdown is happening western powers have stepped up the pressure but the e.u. says it won't alter special trait prefaces that are currently in place that give me

a mark terror free access is that a mistake. you know this is carefully thought out to avoid mistakes in the past that were made when the west had really broad based sanctions i mean what this does these trade preferences give industries such as textiles free access to the news 450000000 consumers and it's led to tens of thousands of jobs in myanmar for low skilled workers i met some of these people out and they come from these remote villages they come to the cities to work in these plants and they send most of their income back to their family if you take away this tariff free access to those jobs are gone and it will be these workers who lose out not the generals who will still find a way to make millions like they did in the past and in a very striking development today days of malaysia deported more than 1000 mean more nationals despite a court order for them to hold off i mean why that this happened. so it's really

not clear yet why malaysia did this despite the court order i mean malaysia is saying that none of the ones out who are all deported were injured muslims none more silent seekers than everyone who was deported voluntarily went back none of them or were forced but the human rights community it would be an understatement to say that they are furious about this amnesty international saying the statement quote is life threatening situation has affected the lives of more than a 1000 people and their families and leaves an indelible stain on malaysia's human rights record human rights watch saying malaysia quote sent them back into the hands of a military junta known for persecuting those who leave the country for political reasons human rights watch also calling for the suspension of malaysia's director general of immigration and also calling for an independent investigation of this matter. reporting thank you sir thank you let's turn to some of the other stories making news this hour. canada's parliament

has passed a non-binding motion saying that china's treatment of weaker muslim cinching amounts to genocide by mr justin trudeau and his cabinet abstained from the vote china is going to reject. the leader of georgia's main opposition party has been arrested millions detention comes days after the prime minister resigned amidst a debate over whether to take the opposition politician into custody. faces charges of inciting violence during protests in 2019 dismisses the charges as politically motivated. authorities and democratic republic of congo have claimed or want to do to rebels for the killing of italy's ambassador he was one of 3 people killed when a convoy from the world food program came under fire the president of the d r c a has called the ambush a terrorist attack. how kong is introducing new legislation to

ensure that anyone seen as disloyal to beijing is barred from elected office chief executive carrie lam has given her support to the reform which will require local councillors to pledge allegiance to hong kong status as part of china violators will face an election ban mass protests in the introduction of a sweeping national security bill last year opposition forces in hong kong have increasingly been silenced. let's say get you more on these developments correspond she khan is in hong kong for you phoebe of tell us what's behind that new draft bill that the hong kong government has announced. yeah the hong kong government announced a new piece of legislation that what we're quiet all of this council is in hong kong to. off allegiance to to me said his many constitutions which is a basic law so the behaviors that the thought anyone who

seemed what the authority call in thin seal loyalty will be unseated and further up and from running for election in the next 5 years so what the authorities are trying to define the behavior deemed as unloyal is that including performing. chanting for self-determination or independence and the international security denying china soften t. over hong kong including this power and a new sweeping national security law defining any kind of referendum as we saw in the past or simply refusing or blocking the government's bill indiscriminately will be deemed as unloyal so even this behavior before the passage of the new legislation will be taken into account when the counselors take to oath in the future what does this mean for hong kong's residents. well the new rules

could mean a possible mass this fall if occasion of the opposition council is on the ground which may very likely to spell the end of the political career off many of the opposition figures that 9 back in 2019 opposition cam has won a landslide victory in local elections they have secured nearly 90 percent of the seats in district councils but there's a council as a whole call it's like city council as is that is a community level political institution that now over 400 councillors representing the opposition came but they may have to leave very soon as soon as the the law passes so for the opposition figures this is like and the other act to suffocate and weaken the opposition power underground like.

this is a signal that they may lose control of the political institution homo and that's why they have to tighten their grip and this is also the only remaining voice of opposition to represent a general public. has already thought of the opposition focus and only the 1st half of a series of election reform see the 10 seconds when will this new requirement come into force. yeah the new bill will be tabled to the legislature in mid march and we know that unless asia is like we don't have any kind of opposition within the legislature so he is expected that the band will be passed quite soon to become reporting from hong kong thank you. facebook says it will reinstate access to australian news pages in the coming days after reaching a compromise with the government facebook blocked the pages after the government unveiled new legislation requiring tech giants to pay news outlets for content
