this is g.w. news a live from berlin international calls grow louder for an end to the violence in myanmar as thousands turn out for the funerals of protesters killed by security forces the u.n. security council is due to meet later to discuss the crisis that's coming up on the show germany's new face plan to reopen is met with criticism retailers say it's too cautious while public health experts warn it could lead to a nother wave of infections.

hello i'm claire richardson welcome to show the u.n. security council is due to meet later to discuss the escalating crisis in a man maher last month the china vetoed a u.n. security council statement condemning the military coup there but pressure is now growing for a strong response from the international community $38.00 protesters were killed on wednesday the deadliest day since manned mars military takeover. perception through the streets of month delay for one of the young victims of the violence kelson a 19 year old university student was shot in the head during a protest against the military coup on wednesday relative surrounded her coffin as mourners passed by singing revolutionary songs and chanting anti coup slogans.

thursday brought new brutality security forces and protesters facing off again. protestors know their defiance could cost them their lives. moment we don't want anything from them we just demand that our mother and censored she is back and the powers in the people's hands we don't want the military ruling the country that's why we're protesting and i'm also ready to die instead of others when soldiers come back again even imagine what the women and all of the military too has ramped up its response with a show of force. scrambling fighter jets to make several low altitude passes over man to lay. as violence continues the question remains who else will lose their life for the chance of a democratic future. and for more i'm now joined by ayman time a journalist in yangon say we've seen at demonstrations throughout this week are

there more protests planned for friday. yes protests are the gathering and you know given the amount of violence that people were faced with protesters have started to change up their tactics and if you look online in the last couple days there were calls for different sorts of protests and set of having standoff with the police to have more mobile smaller groups of protesters out the country. protesters are changing their tactics we're also seeing international pressure growing the u.s. for example has expanded its trade blacklist for myanmar how effective will that be in creating pressure. so the military has made in the absence concerning this they have said that something along the lines of weeks had sanctions before and we survived really putting out this posture of not caring whether or not the international community condemns what they're doing and

sanctions some for it however we also did see that the. military did invite foreign chambers of commerce in myanmar to meet with them and they were denied by a large majority of the chambers and so you despite the fact that you are seeing a strong posture from them regarding sanctions they are clearly still trying to maintain foreign investments as well as business relations there are people there hopeful that the u.n. security council meeting taking place on friday will make any kind of difference on the ground. yes people are so there's quite a number of groups especially within civil society who have been calling for you know are to be referred to international criminal court for war crimes against humanity as well as for the u.n. to essentially decide and make a strong statement and say that the military junta is not the legitimate government of government of myanmar up till now we do have condemnations of violence but we don't see

a lot of countries committing to the stance that they will negotiate with the hunter and that's what people here have been calling for and they're hoping to see coming out of the u.n. security council meeting journalist in yangon thank you very much for that update thank you. for retailers here in germany have hit out at the decision to extend the country's coronavirus shutdown until the end of the month saying the plan is a disaster merkel met with state leaders on wednesday and agreed to a cautious reopening strategy the plan also includes measures to make rapid testing more widely available and to speed up the vaccine rollout so far germany has a lagged behind many of its european neighbors getting available doses into people's arms. on the streets of berlin the government's new step by step plan met with little criticism even some sympathy. was raised to understand i don't want to you mrs merkel shoes i couldn't do it any better that's why i'm cautious we got

it just as a tick never thought it's going to be step by step isn't that it's the only way to do it. i don't know what the alternative is opening everything up again i think you have to do it partially simply because the people want to see some restrictions ease of travel mr. but there was also a fair amount of confusion critics say the careful opening strategy that anglo-american and state leaders agreed on is too complicated. they can with every song i have to say that what's written there is pretty unclear very confusing it's almost as if people aren't supposed to understand what's meant to happen. restrictions will be eased in 5 steps each dependent on infection rates remaining below a threshold of between $50.10 per 100000 people access to certain services will also be based on a negative corona test to make this possible people in germany will get at least

one free rapid test a week. end to boost germany's slow moving vaccination campaign jobs will soon be available at many family doctors. this strategy marks a significant shift from the chancellor's very cautious approach to the pandemic in the past then 15 feet i in my we're at the threshold of a new phase of the pandemic in annoying thoughts or depending me it's a phase which we can't go into carelessly but i think it's important to say with justified hold the heated argument that if the. given the plan has already come under fire from opposition politicians. not even if 3 percent of germans have been vaccinated with both doses and i'm despite that they've decided to open up even though enough on to buy the building it doesn't and fire on a just a warning that with infection numbers inching up again and new more infectious
