today compare with other days so as the protests have gone on i think what we're seeing now is 2 in dealing numbers of protesters who are out on the street protesters who are much more experienced and sort of much more defense oriented in their approach so over the past few days we've seen developments in terms of the sort of barricades and protective apartments that protesters were using you know sort of developing from umbrellas and sort of steel sheets of metal that they fashioned into shields into sandbag barricades as well as other things that were meant to start life bullets as well as local police down as they chased them. ok so perhaps less people on the streets but obviously no signs of backing down particularly also on the other side no signs of the military backing down if anything they seem to be taking a firm hand do protesters believe they still have

a chance of making any difference. yes protesters definitely do think that this multipronged approach to the civil disobedience movement is the way forward in terms of returning the are back to democratic rule. the street protests are not the only part of this lupin obviously and i think the doing the wing numbers of people are on the streets are more question people who feel that you know certain groups of people shouldn't be out on the streets such as older people very young children things like. being in the safety of their homes and participating in other ways such as through military. businesses as well as supporting civil servants who are now many of whom are now boycotting and since it's not working in their departments what about the safety of journalists and people trying to get the word out of what's going on there we know the military in spain jailing journalists how are you and your fellow colleagues managing to continue working. for those number

of different strategies journalists have taken to ensure or at least improve their safety one thing is a sort of strategic use. gear that has the word press on it you know in better in other contexts journalists generally try to make sure they're very very visible as press in order to give themselves and protesters the space that they need in order to jobs and to let police know that you know they are being recorded and that they are at the protests to do their jobs but here you see a lot of journalists going without back kind of equipment. as well as you know taking it on and putting it are there also journalists who are either living at hotels or living in the various state houses and not staying in their own homes. yet. are lame in town unfortunately have to leave every journalist in and on thanks very much they have to throw. let's take

a look now at some other stories making news around the world indian farmers have blocked a 6 lane highway outside delhi to mark the 100th day of protest against the deregulation of agriculture markets the farmers say laws imposed last september hurt them by opening up the sector to private players several rounds of negotiations between family does and the government have so far failed. protesters and police have clashed in violent protests in paraguayan anger is mounting there over the government's handling of the pandemic infections have recently hit record levels security forces 5 rubber bullets and tear gas at demonstrators who rode barricades and threw stones at the police. police and conservation officers in south africa searching for an unknown number of young crocodiles they escaped from a large breeding farm earlier in the week and it's believed they went into a nearby river or thora these have told people living nearby to be vigilant and not

scary. actually the some of the sea so. something like this. would you go in the river again no no no no. no no no no no not think. i will always be there in my mind this is back in time today the night is just starting in bonnie vale and apparently that is the best time to catch the crocodiles dozens of them that have escaped over here you can see one of the traps that were set up with a bait and scythe huge piece of meat but they have not been so helpful not many crocodiles were actually caught with this once that is why there is now another focus the police brought in boats and they're going out on night patrols trying to locate the crocodiles together with the community and local authorities they try to find the crocs that are not indigenous to this area of south africa. with crocodiles it's much much easier. especially if they regard.

broadcasting the classes that are taking place here we are broadcasting them for people who still did not vaccinate on sunday is rare for the east restrictions after prolonged lockdown malls museums and stores have been opened for all but jim solis cultural and sports events would be made accessible to create pass holders of over 4000000 people have received at least the 1st try and take pfizer so israel is one of the 1st countries trying to get life back to normal opening up has also opened a debate over a variety of legal and moral questions of limiting personal liberties as they are someone not rushing to get the vaccine we are limiting few people. and i believe this is balance we are not doing that for good you can really enjoy your cultural life you will enjoy those balls you will enjoy you know going to the gym but in

homeless because there's some people who never walk home don't know how to handle me i wouldn't have a handle homelessness despite idea approaching deadline new rental assistance has still not been approved by congress which is currently fighting over to new stimulus package. on the streets of paterson he hopes that the money arrives on time and compromise on back rent. right i have people way behind on rent and they're never going to go. and defy a victim. of just getting it probably was behind. you know if somebody came to me as a landlord say i'll give you half the back rent i'd be i'd be happy for that without help soon many more people could be left out in the cold. in the siberian town of kissel us residents have been complaining of breathing
