on the deaths on the streets of me and mas protesters continue to fight the bunches crackdown on dissent at least 4 people have been shot dead by police and yes and now it's a day of violence. i'm manic of has been ken and thanks for joining us today there is anger in the united kingdom over the police handling of the vigil and on a sarah ever of the 33 year old was allegedly kidnapped and murdered by a police officer while walking home in london on the 3rd of march on saturday a gathering to honor her and other victims of male violence was broken up by police citing coronavirus restrictions offices arrested 4 people. outraged one police officer becomes anger towards many arrests turned ugly as

police attempted to enforce pandemic controls at a bear and. the offices respond. drew criticism from london's mayor who said they were not appropriate or proportionate britain is one secretary has demanded an explanation from scotland yard london's metropolitan police said the event had become a public danger we absolutely did not want to be in a position where for some touching was necessary. we were placed in this position because of the overriding needs to protect people's safety. earlier crowds had turned clapham common from a place of fear into one of defiance reclaiming the park close to where sarah ever rod went missing. a woman was murdered just walking around in london during a lockdown which seems even more offensive. women and girls are trafficked all over the world women of color also married young so much more is happening than

sarah micro aggressions that happens all women every day to 48 year old policeman charged with every odds kidnapping and murder appeared in court searches continued at the accused murderess home and the site where everard's body was found press police collect evidence against one of their own the incident has shaken trust in the police and raise concern about women's safety everywhere. and for more on this we're joined by man do you read the leader of the women's equality party in the u.k. and candidate for london man mandy thanks so much for joining us there's clearly a growing backlash to the heavy handedness of the police last night at the vigil in london a sense maybe that people are losing trust in the police if you were london's mayor what would you do to manage the situation. i would immediately acknowledge how

deep the problems of institutional massaging me lie within the police force you can see it in the way policing is carried out you can see it in the way that we have a holy conviction rates and charge rates for rape and sexual violence in the police have a role to play in that i mean you can see it in how poorly the police form when they have to investigate their own offices there is there was a super complaint produced by the center for women's justice which examined several cases showing time and time again in all sorts of different ways that the police just can't be relied on to be objective and honest about what's going on within the force i would also open up a conversation between women who feel betrayed by the police so that police get an understanding of what it's like and what to be a woman in the city hoping that the police will protect them and use that to inform the strategies and culture change that is desperately long overdue within that

institution the british prime minister doris junction johnson has pledged a strategy to tackle violence against women and girls it's june later this year how hopefully you know that sarah ever ever odds mudda might spring around real change in the u k. you know i want to believe that it will but you may recall a few years ago when the me too movement went viral we were all hopeful that that would result in a sea change that would result in sexual harassment being properly acknowledge and dealt with since then no new laws to to deal with sexual harassment were brought in and so what's needed this time around is a huge shift in priority in focus we need politicians across the board to see violence against women and girls as a political and policing priority it is so prevalent women are living a kin to being in this you know is that domestic terrorism for women why don't we

actually treat this crime as a national threat in the same way as we reduce so to traditional terrorism thereby you have the resources you have the strategies you have the seriousness escribe to it and women start to be on the parkway towards feeling safe again it is not taken nearly seriously anymore and so i don't know i hope the government has learned something from this but we'll have to see can you tell us what it is about center ever ods case which is clearly has a role nerve in the u.k. what is it that has new people new for women to such an extent. it's hard to say because you know every year this year in the last 12 months alone $118.00 women were were killed by men and so it's hard to zoom in on what was so significant about this case i think it's possibly got something to do with the fact that we've been living under lockdown conditions for a long time walks out real form of solace there and they're one of the rare and only moments of freedom in their day while we've all been trying to you know deal

with these restrictions and for a woman to be violated in those circumstances i think was just hit as you say a massive number one because we all know that that could have been any one of us and we're sick of it enough is enough now and we're going to sarah's memory by fighting hard but there's to be a moment when change happens and these issues get taken much more seriously than they ever have. and their range in london thanks so much for joining us. ok time now to take a look at some of the other stories making news around the world. a british iranian woman detained in terror on has appeared in court to face new charges of propaganda against the regime as the names of safe family and supporters say the charges are politically motivated she was released from jail just last week after completing a 5 year sentence for plotting to overthrow the regime. demonstrators in the u.s.

a group of civilian politicians ousted from me and mas government has vowed to support a revolution against the military power of the military that seized power last month speaking from hiding for the 1st time since the coup man when said this was quote the darkest moment of the nation the death toll from 6 weeks of protests as mounted almost daily well than 80 people have lost their lives. this is witness footage from the streets of yangon. secure. she forces opened fire on protesters. despite the rising death toll demonstrations continue this peaceful protest is held to honor those who've become known as the fallen heroes. because. i saw the fallen heroes give their lives i don't

want them to think that i am afraid and just want to stay at home i'm going out on the streets as a citizen as a woman so that i can stand on the side of justice. was the. makeshift barricades are rebuilt every day for protection. protesters arm themselves with firecrackers and shields persevered in their fight for democracy because. i don't have it with my right we have to fight for our future i don't accept the military coup sometimes we are forced to run and hide because of the violent crackdown. i was arrested once but people came to help me escape from the military and i was released oh yeah my god and i think it was for the hundreds who attended the funeral of protester when lying defiances tainted by

grief. the 3 finger salute pays tribute to this fallen hero. and all the others who sacrificed their lives for the pro-democracy movement. and joining us now from young gone is journalist andrew come son andrew thanks thanks for joining us do people feel like this address from the civilian leadership given from hiding can change anything. well i think it's important 'd to keep in mind that the majority of people in the in march see this group of civilian leaders as the legitimate government of myanmar. the population has not accepted the military. being legitimately in charge of the country so they do care about what these people are saying they're following it very closely they have the ability to influence the protest movement and to inspire the protesters.

there was a coffee last night yet people still gap and then yang gone mad this seems to suggest that despite the police brutality we're seeing demonstrators authentic not wanting to give up yet yes so we've we've had a curfew for for weeks now and people are increasingly violating it but i think simultaneously to show the police that they are the military that they don't accept its rules they don't accept its laws and to continue this protest movement no way that they feel is safer since people have been getting gunned down in the street when they protest during the day they're thinking maybe if they protest the night it will be a little bit safer ok and we've seen 6 weeks of protests dozens have been killed if this military crackdown continues could you give us a sense of where this is leading say well we're we're seeing increasingly that the protesters are prepared to defend themselves the vice

president said in that address this weekend that people have the right to self-defense so i think there's an increasing possibility that protesters might start actually fighting back and if they fight back then we'll probably see even more ruthless violence by security forces so it does feel like this situation is just going to kind of continue spiraling out of control ok thank you so much from you and. thanks. facing is under way in germany in 2 state elections they're being seen as the 1st major political test before the general election later this year that will determine who will succeed as chancellor the elections in the southwestern states of button button bag and ryan land and it's also the 1st bellwether vote since the start of the pandemic surveys suggest merkel's conservatives could see
