fatalities come a day off dozens of activists were shot dead in the country's largest city young gone the state broadcaster says the military has now imposed martial law on 6 townships in the city the country's largest the u.n. special envoy for me and moscow for international solidarity with the protesters and described her dismay at the desk during the weekend. was deadly clashes continued into the night as fires burned in the streets and smoke mixed with tear gas. on the monitor group's report that over 40 people died from sunday into monday morning the bloodiest day of protests against the coup so far. on outskirts of yangon and identified attackers set fire to chinese own factories reportedly wounding multiple employees many pro-democracy protesters accuse china of secretly

supporting coup leaders. the chinese embassy in myanmar issued a statement saying china urges me and mark to take further effective measures to stop all acts of violence punish the perpetrators in accordance with the law and ensure the safety of life and property of chinese companies and personnel and me and mark. me on mars military shows no signs of easing the crackdowns the military declared martial law and several large districts of yangon and mandalay the country's 2 largest cities but protesters are not relenting in mandalay hundreds return to the streets on monday morning to call for the release of aung sun suu kyi and other civilian leaders arrested at the start of the coup. a court hearing was scheduled for sujit today but her lawyer reported it was postponed me and mars' deposed leader is now expecting her next hearing on march 24th. crossover journalist ever not comes an end young all andrew security forces are using lethal force more frequently now on 40 people are appointed killed in the latest crackdown

what can you tell us what's going on around the house. so we definitely seen an escalation in terms of the frequency of crackdowns initially we would have some days where a lot of protesters were killed and some days where security forces because i have backed off for a little bit in the last few days we have seen protesters killed every single day which definitely marks an escalation by the military and what impact. on the protest movement. we're seeing definitely the protests getting a bit smaller getting a bit. kind of concentrated to it to really hardcore protesters we're also hearing and seeing things that indicate that the protests could get increasingly violent in terms of protesters fighting back for the 1st month these protests were

completely peaceful but now that the military has started killing people in the streets i think increasingly we're going to see people defending themselves. but that's what our report that hearing nothing else to civilian it on something that was supposed to happen today has been in john but happened. we've been told that it was delayed due to technical difficulties seems to be difficulties that has caused itself by blacking out most vital data across the country wife eye is still functioning so we're not sure why it couldn't have just been done that way but i also think this trial is it is a bit of a sideshow because. it's just going to decide the outcome itself it's not going to be decided by any type of objective judge or 'd or legitimate court here and. so me i'm a big name but china does play an important role in this conflict what influence does china actually have. so there are

a lot of protesters who believe that that china might be secretly supporting that bhutto or literally even helped organize the coup i think that's unlikely because china values political stability and its business interests more than anything else and obviously this coup has been very bad for political stability and its business interests are now under threat but i do think the protesters have a valid complaint in that china has not used the huge level of influence that it has in the country to to support the protests to support the return of democracy to put more pressure on them which it definitely could be doing. journalist and not comes in reporting from young on for us thank you thank you a growing number of countries have suspended the role until the astra zeneca coded 19 vaccine over safety is bug area denmark the netherlands norway stop giving the

shot following reports of an increased risk of blood clots but astra zeneca and the world health organization insist there is no risk german lawmaker has called on german authorities to issued clear guidance on whether the vaccine is quote good or bad. so you have not some other developments in the corona virus pandemic i.c.u. doctors here in germany an immediate return to a partial lockdown because of covert 19 mutations germany has seen a rise in infections since gradually easing measures last months. half of italy's regions have gone into a strict lock down it's because of a new spike in corona virus infections authorities say hospital admissions are beyond manageable other developers of russia's sputnik vien vaccine say companies in germany france italy and spain have agreed to help produce the job it hasn't officially been approved in the e.u. yet and here in germany there were victories for the greens and the social

democrats into regional elections and love ackles christian democrats suffered significant losses in the 2 southwestern states the ballots kicked off a year of voting in germany accommodating in the national elections in september chancellor merkel is not running again and now her party is concerned these election results could be a bad omen we'll have details analysis from our chief political editor in a moment but 1st a look at how sunday's voting unfolded there's no pretending it was not a bad outcome for angle america's conservatives. to put it bluntly this is not a good election evening for the c.d.u. we would have wished for different and better results in the barn version bird and ryan land plots in 8 states elections. in rhineland collaton it home of the curve of 19 vaccine development biotech the governing center left s.p.d. retains the lead with more than a 3rd of the votes angela merkel c.d.u.

ranks 2nd with over a quarter but down 4 percent on the last election and regional partners the greens have just under 10 percent. barden vuitton bag best known for carmakers porsche and miss avies sees the greens the main governing party increase their vote share to just under a 3rd their coalition partners the c.d.u. again lose votes but retain nearly a quarter share. so it was a good night for the greens. this is true and this is a super start to this major election year and we will hopefully be able to capitalize on this momentum going forward of. the s.p.d. the main coalition partners in the federal government celebrating that outright win in rhineland pellets in it and 3rd place in bottom. with an eye on germany's autumn federal elections to get from biden via both results give a clear indication that

a governing coalition could be formed in germany without the c.d.u. this gives momentum for the federal election and potentially for getting into the chancellor's office a national government without medical c.d.u. would be a massive political shift the party was already under pressure following a corruption scandal involving conservative politicians profiting from facemask procurement deals merkel has said she will stand down at the end of her current term her popularity has helped the c.d.u. wind power in the last 4 federal elections but the conservatives have yet to decide on who will be their candidate for chancellor in september of from all that let's bring it obvious chief political editor. how much of a setback are these election results for markel city you. well there pretty much a dressing down at the ballot box it doesn't mean that the c.d.u.

doesn't have what it takes not the votes of potential to actually come out 1st in those key general elections in september bought and there's a big but it's no longer a given that the current nationwide opinion polls will actually translate into election results the c.d.u. might not be in the lead and the bavarian sister party's leader marcos had a rather blunt assessment for that let's have a listen that deval gives sunday's elections were a blow to the heart of the conservative alliance for decades the southwest has been a bedrock of conservative support so this is painful these 2 comes because of the especially when you consider that you can't have a stable majority of the national level in the long term without support in the south and move you served now he too sees partly the poor corona performance of the government to blame that slow roll out of the vaccines but also there currently is a corruption scandal within the conservative c.d.u.

party which saw all m.p.'s who didn't resign over it in there were 3 having to sign a document is soaring that they personally didn't profit from the corona pandemic from doing deals there so this is something that the c.d.u. is fighting against they are quite clearly on the defensive and this at a moment in time where we still don't know who will lead them and the party is currently trying to map out what how it will be set up both in terms of personnel and programming going into this key election year the city you unnecessarily one could say on the defensive despite that overarching political figure under the mask of course is leaving just mentioning america what does the what do these would be lectures then mean for the conservatives with national elections just 6 months away . well it means that they better be fast in choosing who their chancellor candidate

will be and that's between in law said angela merkel's favorite and mark or souter and it also means that they might not be necessarily needed when it comes to forming a coalition and that's something the greens are relishing in if we have time and have a listen to that sound bite as well from the green co-leader as. possible and germany's industrial heartland is also possible at the national level that'll be fighting for in the coming months. because out of all places it was in bad and voting back the home of most cedars and portia where the greens have now. cuts money a conservative figure who managed to take the governing from the c.d.u. which had rained every one could say for decades so it's an uphill struggle and the greens who were seen as a potential junior coalition partner come september and those that post machall era

sounding much more senior by the minute as you listen to them talk about these results. how much can we read into these regional elections as being representative of germany on the whole with him for example be incredibly popular. here's what we can read into that the individual popularity of those top candidates really is what matters that mattered most in both those states we didn't go the conservative way so that just adds the pressure on the c.d.u. to pick a candidate between i'm unless it's in mark or sudha who can actually deliver at the ballot box. political. thank you michelle. let's take a look now at some of the other stories making headlines around the world people in the netherlands are voting in 3 days of general elections which are seen as a test of the country's coronavirus policies the nation's under tight restrictions

their protest was triggered by the imprisonment of 15 children who had spray painted government slogans the regime of bashar assad was bonded with a brutal crackdown in the area triggering a war that has cost thousands of lives and caused the mass displacement of the syrian people. it started with a glimmer of hope in spring 2011 the people took to the streets of syria after watching the arab spring in other countries they decided to demonstrate for political reforms and democracy in their own country. but their story ended differently was. president assad's regime brutally struck down the protesters. but they fought back a rebel army formed just peaceful protesters joined forces with army deserted as battle lines were drawn. up one of the bloodiest conflicts of the 21st century

began in syria. other world powers used the conflict for their advantage to spread their influence in the region. moscow and tehran supported a silent while the united states and turkey gave their support to the rebel troops . the assad government regained control of syria but their victory was blunted. the country lay in ruins. and it's the civilians who have suffered most since the beginning of the war at least half a 1000000 syrians have been killed more than 6000000 syrians have left the country another 6200000 a still displaced within syria more than half of them children 10 years later for the people of syria peace is still a long way away. and today we want to shine a light on one of the most prominent figures of serious pro-democracy movement

human rights lawyer and activist. named she was kidnapped by armed men in 2013 and to this day her fate remains unresolved w.'s investigative unit has been retracing her steps to learn more about the events at the start of syria's bitter civil war my name is there. you heard this from the hostages. when protests erupted across syria in march 20th 11 rights activist rosen said to me i was on the frontline she was key to a national effort across the country beside her also to close friends must know we should. we need the human rights lawyer in paris is. really. for me the most important aspect of president's personality is a rejection of injustice and to willingness to do anything to fight injustice be

listen how the poles along i when the s.x. regime responded with a bloody crackdown arresting thousands of activists resume chewer the world witnessed. she became a key source she had this sort of softness almost frailty to her when you met her at the beginning and you like how she doing this very dangerous job. and then as soon as you spoke to her you immediately discovered the sort of steely courage and principles. in 2013 the present slate regime had to masses for duma a town that would later be dominated by the hardline militant group jaish and islam present launched women's initiatives forth for the rule of law and documented human rights abuses including those committed by our troubles. all that made her the competitor for jaish al islam to its control to its ideology and

its desire to establish an emirate or calicut. rather than was targeted several times a bullet left at her doorstep and none of this letter obtained by the w. threatening your life the words i will kill you repeated 5 times a trusted confidant not even who are asked to leave too much she responded the next day saying i am not going to move we did not do a revolution alou thousands of swords so that such monsters can come and repeat the same in just history. these people need to be held to account just like the regime . on december 9th 20 searchin armed men stormed the office they abducted rozanne together with her husband and 2 fellow activists after years of investigation human rights lawyer wish and his team are confident that jaish al islam are responsible

they gave us exclusive access to their findings. to the additional witness statements we collected in syria and turkey corroborate that resin was held by the islamists before the trail goes cold. we've confronted high ranking members have to actually slam but they strongly denied any involvement in the attacks however educational investigation is underway by the french war crimes unit here in paris and a former top official of the group has already been arrested in connection with the case martin i wish hopes that the investigation will finally bring clarity for him residents absence is reminiscent of the pro-democracy movement in syria. the fate of rozanne and her colleagues resembles that of the civil peaceful movement they try to create a moral eternity for syria. they were crushed between the regime and these islamist groups in tibet in the end of terry and as well as the.

8 years after roseanne and her colleagues disappeared their fate remains one of the great mysteries of the revolution but friends and relatives have not given up hope that one day they will know the truth. continues to investigate the disappearance of. colleagues if you have any information regarding their whereabouts or the circumstances of their abduction you can contact our security at d.w. dot tips proton mail dot com. but as they are football now where life say here is the only club with a chance of denying by a munich a 9th consecutive title when it was hoping for a win at home against frankfurt but they only managed to draw it was their 2nd set back in recent days. after they were dumped out of the champions league by

india don't miss that and also you can always find much more news and information on our web site t w dot com calibers for me and the entire news team has forged. good good good. good. good.

a competitive world is just cold it's cool it's blue cool water used to be free but the world is changing the most important commodity you. won't be free flipboard some water or city or commodity starts march 22nd on d w. how the times have changed not long ago a swanky fast car was aspirational even if it was a few of us look we wanted to update our every season to be trendy and chic all year long but today we're curious about e-commerce and prefer bicycles sustainable fashion. let's look at the fast moving switch cluelessly how welcome to

core india. coming to you from. very tasty and in many countries white which comes from news groups has been a lifestyle decades now. with an image problem particularly because often a lot of it's still to be these fruits in didn't create farmers for example where spyro to export a bulk of big creams need a solution to this problem a simple one is helping them with just that. a tropical climate and sandy soil here in the western indian state of maharashtra conditions for growing grapes are ideal the 1st vines were planted here in the late 1990 s. by local entrepreneur who returned after studying and working in the united states

today nearly 70 percent of india's total grey production comes from the region. like many small farmers here. grow seedless table grapes. takes a lot of time to grow chemical free grapes. one needs a lot of patience because the benefits of going chemical free are not visible immediately. for example you may not see the result in just one year you have to give it time and at least 5 to 10 years. well other great farm is use pesticides busker kumble ensures that insects like green lace wings and australian ladybugs take care of the pests and keep them away from the vines. and infestation could quickly destroy entire harvests the majority of his grapes are exposed to europe. the vineyard next door belongs to us because brother.

he too exports a large portion of his harvest and mostly does without chemicals too he routinely checks by hand to see if his plants are thirsty. your daughter may not tell the soil needs to be felt properly to check its moisture content. right now it shows 40 percent which indicates that this area needs water if it clings together more than this and the moisture content is 50 to 60 percent water is not required. so i didn't relate. to cultivate and irrigate the soil has dug ditches. they're going to give the car. ever since i started practicing this new method of water management in which moisture is provided directly to the root zone i've saved a lot of water. i noticed that especially in the month of april in may when there's a shortage of water. that's helped me to improve the quality and lifespan of the

great. brood a kilo of grapes can fetch $160.00 with peace compared to 70 with his on the domestic market the great farmers would like to export more at present 12 percent of indian grapes go abroad. no the. bodies in the last 10 to 20 years on seasonal rains have increased the incidence of crop diseases like powdery mildew and downy knew too much more than before. to control this great growers end up having to use more pesticides. this results in many export relation problems but if you're already got a clip on the market. but it is possible to both uphold rules of pesticides and achieve the quality required for export. some expand it has developed an app for that very purpose the software allows farmers to record important data about the

grates on a smartphone. the app then matches this data with information from the national research center for great. under the thumb and then has up to date information about which tools they're allowed to use when and to what extent. neighbored european standards are another going to stand australian so they are doing their norms by yearly or already or so the knowledge and hard to particular to the end if you're going to far more so when you consider last mile and get a better knowledge so the exporter we grow the app also helps fullness manage their income and expenses and to find traders who buy the quake's. 22 year old farm that danica kulkarni uses the app and hopes to be able to sell her grapes abroad soon. develop under-funding got that they were marketing one of the great farming

requires intensive marketing to get a good right for our produce and for it to be sold in different parts of the world now when i haven't you know it is ready for harvest we just need to cane details about the crop and the quality of the grapes into the app we have then connected to multiple traders who can bid to buy our produce. this way of we are able to get the best price for it but he has one fiber. india ranks 12 than the world when it comes to land used to grow grapes but its export volume is low by international standards the film is of nashik a working hard to change that. many of us may not have been born been yet but we all know all the fashion trends of the fifty's and the sixty's the iconic leader see the long term trends anymore fast fashion labels make sure that trends change on a weekly basis this of course has a negative consequences but more and more consumers are now. and are demanding

change again fast fashion labels have rise to the occasion and commit to being environmentally friendly let's find. we're constantly bombarded with media that pressures us to buy new or and trendy your clothes that quickly go out of style an estimated $93000000.00 tons of clothes go to landfill or burns every year. and that's roughly a belt a garbage truck loads of text every 2nd going to landfill every 2nd. producing clothes also pollutes our water and generate c o 2 the fast fashion model pioneered by makes twice as many clothes per year compared to the early 2000 but companies say that's about to change thanks to eco friendly fast fashion but can we believe them into tax czarist parent company. and agent and group are 2 of the biggest fashion retailers in the world and both have

collections that claim to reduce the environmental impact of making clothes. these fashion giants say they are making entire brands more sustainable but look at these promises starting with the materials fast fashion brands mainly use polyester which accounts for 52 percent of total fiber production and caught and which is around 24 percent. p.v.c. is a different name for polyester it's the same type of plastic found in water bottles it's carbon intensive produce from petroleum and the process releases acids and ammonium into the water supply and i'm caught in it is a chemical and water intensive crop the world wildlife foundation says it takes 20000 liters of water to make one kilo of cotton and only enough for one teacher and a pair of jeans also around 11 percent of the world's class just sides are used on cotton fields all done it cloten is in the long term much better the fall of the

car is it and the environment and soyou the produces and it's less water intensive and doesn't require as much irrigation such. we requested an interview with them about their product sustainability but they declined over email they said we are happy to say that by the end of this year all caught and we use will come from sustainable sources that are also responded by email saying in 2019 the group used over 38000 tonnes of sustainable cotton and its clothing up 150 percent from 2018 but what does sustainable actually mean there is no standard definition and it doesn't equal organic h. and m. says that sustainable caught and can mean recycled or less pesticide than g.m. most bizarre calls it's an ecologically grown and stead of organic. it claims the cotton is certified by the organic cotton standard and the global are gannett

textile standard which say they monitor chemical and water used production processes terms like conscious and ecologically grown are hard to fact check and can confuse the consumer but according to the nonprofit textile it's change in 2016 age and was the 2nd largest user of organic cotton in the world zahra was the 4th that's focused on synthetics in h. and m. sustainable collection a synthetic clothing should be at least 50 percent recycled desire doesn't specify a percentage and their labels can be confusing this jacket says it's 100 percent recycled polya mud it seems like it's completely recycled but the filling is polyester a different material the percentage recycled statement often doesn't refer to the whole garment making it look like the item is more recycled than it actually is

zara says they're caught and polyester will be sustainable by 2025 h. and m. says all of their materials will be sustainable by 2030 and for 2019 that figure was already at 57 percent if they stick to these commitments it could mean big changes for the industry but material is only part of the story to find out if that cotton is actually organic or that polyester is actually recycled consumers need to be able to check the production process with an h. and m. conscious t. shirt you can find out in which specific factory it was made so it's theoretically possible to check the sustainability these are only lists how many suppliers it has in one city but not names and addresses they were both a value added by fashion revolution an advocate for transparency and sustainability and fashion and no large brands score over. 80 percent but for 2028 m. did the best with 73 percent so quite transparent czarist scored

a 43 percent not so much this is important because suppliers are one of the few was a colder us with a front row seat to brands in our working camp has a background in human rights and managed a garment factory in cambodia they uniquely have access to the information that consumers need to be able to cross-check brands actions against their words if people can research suppliers they can hold the brands accountable to their sustainability claims but just because you are transparent it does not mean you are sustainable it does not mean that at all and that's really really important even for brands you know their whole supply chain making an eco friendly garment is hard because then you can see that dying is that you know more you went into a responsible way but the cotton is not to produce the same 18 advertises that the company is working towards a circular future according to the website you can bring your clothing to any store

and it will be resold as secondhand clothing reuse just textiles or recycled. the has a similar campaign it says it partners with different local organisations which then take over what happens to the clothing so what does happen they are resold reuse and recycle of but not in the proportions you might think over half is sold overseas the rest is mostly turned into industrial material burned or dumped in landfills h. and iman's are our investing and recycling research book point 5 percent and point 0 percent of their profits respectively they say returning clothes is circular which really isn't true and even if it were. that's not the solution to the consumption. or over the production the problem is that too much clothing is produced whether it's eco friendly or not we need to think about how we shop and

what we're really calling for. but the there is a there is a bold step a number of notable fashion brands and fashion houses now going season so off to them it's an important thing to do the concept doesn't mean sacrificing style but making clothing to last rather than be thrown away so what do we do when we want to buy new clothes and emmons our i say there you go collections are better for the environment and they actually are if you want to check the sustainability of a whole supply chain there are many smaller brands that can account for every step of their production process and buying season less clothing means that won't go out of fashion and end up in the trash because this is a rare industry where consumers actually have real influence. when they look at the

whole picture i realized maybe only as consumers use the power can silence brands and push them gives in pressure shoe to do to make some changes. so ask yourself not only who made your clothes and what they're made of but also do i need new clothes and go from there and stad. if we want to look at the sheer number of resources used to produce garments it would seem extremely under considerable thought the often just one or 2 washes high quality fabrics have a creative shelf life like the traditional saris made from silk and cotton in india and india designer has found a sustainable route to give the saudis a 2nd life. in india this sari is much more than a piece of the.
