withstand this kind of pressure on keep his sense of humor intact say certainly his supporters will be relieved to see that. ability house and abandoned him just yet. reporting from moscow thank you. now we turn our attention to me and maher where families have been holding funerals for dozens of people killed during recent anti coup protests and me and my security forces have killed more than 90 protesters in the last 2 days along the military has imposed martial law in many areas to crackdown on dissent the many remain defiant. a funeral for a 19 year old cutting your head one of the dozens of protesters killed in clashes since sunday. and in send district of yangon protesters are digging in residents here are frightened but defiant they want the military to know they are prepared to defend

their neighborhood. and i think if they oppress us more we will fight back harder like they have been lying thai are. just on the other side of the river line tie our district has become a flash point of the protests. dozens of people were killed there on the weekend after police opened fire on demonstrators. it's the same neighborhood where multiple chinese own factories burned to the ground in arson attacks many pro-democracy protesters believe china has been propping up the myanmar coup. china has urged its businesses to evacuate non-essential employees from the country and called on me on march to restore order. much of the international concern however has focused on the rising death toll among protesters the u.s. secretary of state issued a stark condemnation of the hunters actions of the military is attempting to

overturn the results of a democratic election and is brutally repressing peaceful protesters the un has also called on the medium our military to end the killing but to the frustration of many here and young gone the international community has had little more to offer than strong words no match for the hunt as deadly force. now the influential sister of north korean leader kim jong un has warned the u.s. over its military exercises with south korea she issued a statement saying the new u.s. administration should quote refrain from causing a stink if it wants to sleep in peace for the coming 4 years well is the 1st time pyongyang has addressed the new by an administration after visiting japan top u.s. officials are due to arrive in seoul on wednesday. all right let's get you more on this now we're joined by journalist and reuters

correspondent josh smith who joins us from seoul a very good day to you josh and i 1st of all a warning from pyongyang to washington what do you what should we make of this statement. it does definitely seem time to coincide with the arrival of those top american officials here in seoul tomorrow these military drills actually started here in south korea a week ago some most north korea observers have noted that if north korea would be the wanted to complain about the drills they probably would have done that a few days earlier so this timing does seem directly aimed at influencing or perhaps making sure that north korea is at the top of the agenda when secretary of state blinken and secretary of defense austin arrive here in seoul tomorrow and this is significant josh that this warning state when it's coming from the sister. of north korean leader rather than from him directly what should we make of that.

over the past year community john has taken more vocal role especially in issuing these statements about south korea and occasionally being ited states this is definitely showcased more of a public role for her rather than simply being kind of a helper to her brother she's taking on much more of a leadership role here in many ways folks see this as a way of having a very senior north korean official weigh in on this still allows a bit of deniability you think should go wrong or something needs to be retracted it's not coming from the leader himself but still someone very senior in obviously very close to him now the u.s. defense secretary lord austin and the secretary of state at the blacken are due to arrive in seoul on wednesday what can we expect from their visit.

so by ministration has said that they're making a priority. of quote unquote repairing some of the alliances that they see as having been damaged under the trumpet ministration there were certainly some public tensions between seoul and washington during the trumpet ministration at the same time it's not necessarily clear that south korea and the united states are going to see eye to eye on everything for example. lincoln has made it clear that he sees seoul is an important part of potentially building an alliance to counter china where is the real has been more interested in not really coming down one side or the other on that debate and so those are the types of issues that are going to be at the top of the hair on his job. reporting from saul thank you thank you. icelanders are hoping for a volcanic eruption that will end weeks of sleepless nights due to tremors tens of

thousands of earthquakes have rattled homes in the country's south and what experts are calling an unprecedented seismic offend while the earthquakes are caused by molten rock trying to force their way to the surface. experts say it could happen at any minute. here on the wreck in as peninsula icelanders wait for an imminent eruption in the area surrounding night. but among the few residents in this small fishing town the mood is not so much one of concern as it is exhaustion so a situation in green that it is quite uncomfortable right now everyone is sleep deprived because the earth is constantly moving all day on lights some earth quakes a bigger than others randy. is a schoolteacher and lifelong resident here. experts say that an eruption from the

brewing volcano will likely occur in an uninhabited zone and not pose a threat to the 10s residence. what can be expected is a spectacular lava show with fine tunes which could extend up to 20 or even 100 meters in the air. i think everyone who lives in interviews just waiting for an eruption will be a slow and steady eruption they tell us just so we can get more peace and quiet and i know there will be earthquakes but maybe not as big as we have had. many are escaping to the capital of reykjavik merely to get a break and escape the night treatments but governments doctor is staying behind she's confident there will be enough advance warning if the threat to residents increases as for now she only errands for a good night's sleep. and right now of the top story that we are tracking for you

this hour the european medicines agency says there is no indication so far that astra zeneca has coronavirus vaccine causes blood clots on this after several european countries suspended vaccinations with the shot the a.m.a. says it's firmly convinced of the vaccines benefits and is urging the public to continue to get the job and we'd like to get more now professor beverly hunt is an international expert and john bose's and the formation of blood clots in blood vessels we're so happy to have you here with us you are like i said an international expert you just heard the e m a moments ago say we endorse basically the astra zeneca vaccine yet is still in a suspended in several dozens of countries here in the european union what exactly is the risk here with these blood clots. ok well i think people don't realize just how common blood coat clots are so every year if you look at

a 1000 people one to 2 of them will have a deep vein thrombosis or pulmonary embolism all boats and so few think about that and think that risk means that in the week if you got a 1000000 people about 20 people in a week will be having a clot and if you look at the u.k. vaccine data we have facts in 8817000000 people with either the 3rd pfizer or astra zeneca vaccine and if we look at the week off to the vaccine we should not surely expect 340 blood clots to occur in the public and if you look at the u.k. day 7 there are less than 60 so actually the rates of blood clots is lower off to having the vaccine than expected.

so this is extremely rare going by your findings yet you know when people hear news and headlines and and authorities health authorities suspending a job because of fears of blood clots that's scary. yes so i think that the germans suspended the use of astra zeneca because they were concerned about a special type of plot and that is a blood clot in the brain in the big fane of the brain that runs along here to the cerebral sinus from post office and i think they had seen about 7 and we have very few details that is all we know who i'm with that's why i guess the european medicines agency a meeting on thursday to discuss the details now if we look at the back ground incidence of this type of problem we know there are at least $3.00 to $4.00 cases

per 1000000 every year and we know that an underestimate 2 so not really sure the background race his however look at it these are incredibly low rates and you know i have been looking after patients could patients die and then we have the of the problem of we have long post coded condition where we are learning that many people are having long term consequences from the vaccine and what we're seeing with blood clots the vaccine is just well i do this doesn't seem to be a clear relationship and i would urge people to have the vaccine whenever they can get it professor beverly hons international expert in from bonuses and information of blood clots and blood vessels great to have you on thank you. you're watching t.v. news coming up next indeed every news asia in india greater government control over

online media companies and content creators ignites concerns over freedom and privacy and chinese tech success but at what cost report on the long working hours that are exhausting china's tech workers those stories and a whole lot more coming up right after this with my colleague for a strategy on my herat kindly and on behalf of all of us thank you for spending this part of your day with us.

to. keep. me for some a setback. relegation battle easy enough to get a leg up. in the face disappointing. the fall guy gets mad at the bottom of the. 6. 160 minutes on d w. and.

language courses. video audio. w. . in the height of climate change. for cars. to play list for the future. comes the biggest city. culture. closely. carefully. those. who didn't.

discover. the i. subscribe to the documentary on. this is. coming up today policing the internet. new tools for social media and online companies in india make them directly also the government for content. we look at why that's making online content. plus. the daily grind grinding people down in china transvaal working days 6 days a week driving many took workers.

well. that you could join us in days in forcing new rules that affect popular online platforms such as netflix and amazon and social media companies like facebook and twitter the rules allow for greater government oversight of content on these platforms and make them liable for any content deemed harmful but critics argue with these will have a chilling impact on a constitutional guarantee your freedom of expression and also previously. a leading voice when it comes to political. or are losing their own mind space he is traveling as a content creator for a young digital audience in whom he started his you tube channel point that these are the patriot to talk about social and political issues over the years he has

built up a team and a strong presence on all social media platforms. as he says the digital landscape has given independent voices like his own a free space to express themselves on a wide range of issues. but now he's a lunt. the indian government recently announced a new set of information technology tools it can now more strictly regulate social media content digital music and streaming giants such as netflix these platforms are expected to regulate themselves more and also set up a system to address complaints about their content but the government says it wants to prevent what it calls the misuse of these platforms i completely agree that news can be misused it could create to law and order problems and there should be a set of guidelines for people who are doing news and social media completely understand that but why what the wording is left convoluted why is it that it has

been left open ended that anybody who is a commentator who makes a video on published information also is liable to these rules and regulations so it is about controlling the narrative of what people are talking about nuclear power a digital rights activists and news editor shares these concerns he says existing laws already apply to the digital space and that the government is just trying to crack down on content it doesn't like the most important aspect of these regulations is the imposition of a particular section in the indian information technology gap with allows the government of india who orders to censor content so they can block certain content or news i'm going to present your piece with they did not have the power to do before these rules came about. but there are others who have come these rules which are capitalists mundus by says these regulations are the need of the hour to break

what he calls didn't need of digital giants and to protect usis if you look at short you'll meet your too big they are very all for it one of the least if you look at the news media many of them have a i don't. they publish if imagery article published big that it exists and they are that efficient media are subject to government control of rules digital media are not bana to believe these rules get the government disproportionate palace and that now the digital space you create is like when it's sinking with you even when it comes to content like the dive satire the ease all about putting the facts maybe robbing people a little the wrong we but unfortunately in india. and satire is taken personally so all i do well we see ourselves drumming down our content we see ourselves fighting cases and quartz or we see ourselves spending some time in jail but that's where

we're headed in all your identity says he will not stop meeting his show but he knows that he could one day as he more or be in the line of fire for his content take a good. form on this i'm joined from donnie by time my saying he's a lawyer for the nonprofit internet freedom foundation that advocates online freedom in india from the government saying is that these new laws are required to fired at the spread of fake news for example or event or not graffiti on the internet i mean that's also a reasonable argument doesn't it. crile 1st of all thank you for having me i'm your right there is a reasonable argument the stated objective are to fight news and numbed eventually on c.n.n. of these things that's absolutely perfect you say and that's reasonable and be ok with the intentions. but we can start to deduce far beyond that and they also end up igniting and it is. a lot to do with this rock songs which are not

necessarily that it was an economic crisis you know it's all events but i would see like next time. we'll speak about that in a minute but then i'd like to focus on the 1st part or for the companies where this does apply for example social media company and i know it's a huge market for sort of media giant such as facebook and twitter for example how do these new rules impact our social media users of say facebook and into. right so these do this they give they don't mean a much greater level of control or social media changing it is like instagram even what's up when the government exercised before. they gave the government white i was already showing they don't want others even more than was available to the government before and in the event these intimate it is not complying with the government's orders they would be a danger. in joining the community such as what's. be libel them said

well they aren't and that's all stored on these websites now that somebody's got in development because we expect and be concerned that this will cause. concealing effect on fundamental rights to speech and expression and the access to information the citizens of india but shouldn't the source media companies the units possible somebody has to be held accountable for any harmful content that does come on to these platforms from their. so i absolutely believe that i think there absolutely it is necessary to own bad use and a lot of things but i think there are there balance needs to be struck between. the let's admit psalms of expression and protecting legitimate forms of expression and speech and been concerned that these issues do not. in their current form strike their balance. there have some concerns for the or to keep that from the center of

being so-called over the top platforms but films that offer entertainment such as imus on netflix or online news portal for example. yes absolutely but going to be decided are even split into the constitutionality of all of these rules and the management of these. costs. but by the government. and even focus for the moment just on the content of that was them said. in the 2nd half of they discussed a ticklish and really dark songs and eastern new star what is also done essentially is that they've created so you know all the same it kind of over the counter and there's all sort of what did you i nor does it mean it was media platforms but the 1st is the start phones themselves public events are just the mechanics and in the 2nd you know what it is deemed as a self-regulated to make an ism. babies and good decent get together and they would

form a set of secular people already from amongst themselves own the government exercises a great amount of control over the 2nd because the government is he didn't sign an approval over the appointments they're not in the sense regulatory body and in the 3rd year it's the government it sets that code it is an overstatement and isn't committee which comprises offices of status ministries of the central government and is headed by the secretary of the ministry of information and broadcasting no one's in this studio the kind isn't that i just does is that 80 danes final approval and final say overboard sort of content can be on it cannot be hosted by or getting started on such as netflix and buy or digital news media sites. biggest which we think is very dangerous for measuring even there from the time limit i can so much for joining us from tony thanks so much thank you for having me.

top chinese tech companies like ali baba and judy dot com are well known around the world but it. has been driven in large part by industry wide culture of working long hours called the 196 walk up to 12 hours a day from 9 am to 9 pm 6 days a week and it's tiring. it's the start of a new working day for shall hang that he feels tired is nothing new like others on their commute the icy work and knows there's no let up in his job. usually my shift starts at $9.00 and 8 in the evening the working day is 11 hours with one hour lunch break it's been coined the 996 working week 9 am till 9 pm 6 days per week a total of 72 hours tech companies in china expects this level of dedication as they need to compete with rivals and return employees often highly educated program
