all without weapons clearly in custody no way to fight back and yet they get beaten by the security forces sometimes people get taken away by the security forces and they turn up dead the next day this is just terrorizing the civilian population david talks are underway that might lead to the resistance having its own normie to fight mir in mars' a military head on can you explain how this could work and where the troops for this resistance army would come from. sure so the 1st i have to give a little bit of context on the country and the out of the reaches of me m.r. around the periphery you've got ethnic minority states and these ethnic minority states are tired of having a highly centralized government that's dominated by the majority ethnic group the burmese in this highly centralized government be enough to call the shots across the country and these ethnic minority states they love long wanted more autonomy and more say over their own affairs and there's actually ethnic armed groups with weapons here that have been fighting battles against the myanmar army for decades

to try and give their respective states more autonomy well now discussions are underway that could potentially lead to bringing these different armed ethnic groups together into one sort of national resistance army now there's roughly 2 dozen of these at armed groups depending on how many of them you can get to pull together and sign on to the sort of national resistance army you could potentially be looking at a sort of resistance force of about 800000 maybe plus whoever they could recruit from the civilian population on top of that they would still be way outnumbered by the neon our army which has more than 400000 it's better resourced but still 100000 could still cause a lot of problems for the mi amor army and i should say there stall lot of discussions a lot of details that need to be worked out before the sort of unified resistance army could come together. you know the coup leader mina lying said the army seeks to join hands with the entire nation to safeguard democracy that's an

exact quote if i recollect should the international community be assured by that. seen as a community clearly rejects it just like the populate most of the population inside the country rejects it i mean somebody going for democracy would not allow the army that he's in charge of to shoot down so many on armed civilians to terrorize the civilian population it is very clear on is out to protect the regime the generals of me i am are out for the reason and to protect the fortune that they've amassed over decades through this country's natural resources to the businesses they control while so many of the people in the population live in poverty these generals are millionaires and they're trying to protect their regime journalist david gergen a bomb really appreciate your insight in all this thank you. egypt has lowered the number of people killed when 2 passenger trains collided it now

so. i put some wooden planks of the ambulances would be able to cross the canal it was a mass many people were stuck inside the trains no one to carry them out. or 30 say the accident happened after someone pulled the emergency brakes on one of the trains causing the 2 trains to collide at least 2 carriages were overturned. agent has been marred by train accidents in recent years it's poor safety record is blamed on a crumbling infrastructure and insufficient maintenance. this is unlikely to be the last tragedy to unfold on egypt's railroads. around up know of other stories making news around the world another deadly accident in egypt at least a. people have died and more than 20 have been injured after an apartment building collapse in the capital cairo rescue workers were searching for any survivors

relax the storage temperature for the fires or buying tech jam britain is leading the way in europe's inoculation drive with more than 40 percent of the population vaccinated germany and france trailed behind at 10 percent. for more on this some joined now by rob wants from d.w. business who's been following the story rob the number of people already vaccinated is remarkably low in the european union what can the e.u. do to ramp up vaccination. yeah i mean there are 3 key things that the e.u. wants and really needs to do if it is going to improve its vaccine rollouts it needs more vaccines to be produced within the european union and has to improve the distribution of those vaccines and actually get them into people's arms but what it also needs to do is to limit the number of those vaccines that are leaving the e.u. shores for other countries so we had a meeting this week of e.u.

leaders to discuss how to improve this sluggish rollout and they resolved to to all 3 of those things one way or another but the the most controversial and the most notable that they discussed and have concluded that does need to happen is that limiting of exports vaccines the e.u. has exported more than 70000000 coronavirus vaccines to 33 countries some of those countries have got more successful vaccine rollouts than the e.u. and that's why european union leaders don't want to see those vaccines going to those countries but they want to see them staying within the use borders being used on e.u. citizens you know rob as we mentioned earlier the european medicines agency or yemi has approved 3 new vaccine production facilities here in europe could this in fact be a game changer. yeah you really could because between them these 3 are going to be producing hundreds of millions of vaccines if not more over the next year or so so

we've got a facility in the netherlands the run by how lakes which is more controversial because it's a masters anika production facility and what it actually produces is the the active element in the astra zeneca vaccine that's now going to be able to stop supplying countries there's another facility in switzerland that produces vaccines on behalf but that too is going to stop supplying european union countries but perhaps most significant is a new facility for buy on tech in ma in germany which in the 1st 6 months that this year is expected to produce $250000000.00 doses and eventually be ramped up to produce up to a $1000000000.00 says a year making it the biggest m r n a production site in europe and one of the biggest in the world and therefore potentially a game changer but we only have about 20 seconds so if it's humanly possible can you give us the latest about the span the e.u.

and great britain are having over the distribution of vaccine doses yes so this has been quite unseemly it's about this fact that the e.u. is exporting millions of vaccines to the u.k. and getting none in return for the latest on it is that france's accuse the u.k. of blackmail or of this issue meanwhile the u.k. has accused the brinkmanship over its threats to block vaccine exports it's getting ugly rob watts thank you so much pressure so imagine touring the pyramids of egypt or claim metric we shoot a day without a face mask or groan a virus vaccine it sounds like a dream but for many it's a reality of virtual reality the technology is gaining in popularity and giving users in escape from lockdown confine. of the me is off to england. in seconds she's reached the river thames from her home in the us amy likes to visit the british town where her sister lives if she can't

a food distribution program. but our boates journey ends at the half way point the tide is going out so we have to continue on foot the area is dangerous. on the clothes by mail and they're still regular attacks by islamist insurgents. we've been on the road for 3 hours through the sea and the mangroves then we meet the 1st locals and finally we reach the remote island which was attacked by terrorists last year. they looted the village and murdered 2 people when we reached the food distribution venue the local hadifa ministration tells us the terrorists also kidnapped 30 children. a 16 year old's daughter one of our boys one of the missing children she disappeared without a trace. these people are just evil they come from far away take away our

attack not a single soldier has been stationed here to protect them up to now. it's been a year since military trucks entered the northern italian city of birth to take away the coffins of thousands of people who had died from corona. the shock still runs deep among the survivors but there is also hope. don mario come enough he shares countless memories with many of the people laid to rest here . if he was a member of the parish i was leading in vatican with the whole almost everyone buried in this section of the cemetery died from cove it this is the 1st time don mateo has visited it since the pen demick struck the region you know my thought in heathrow it's like going back months and then like reliving the moments of the people who are no longer here mancow you know just on

a few. these harrowing images were seen around the world military trucks loaded with caskets starting in march the bodies of the seized were transported to other cities across italy discriminatory and were overwhelmed by the numbers as part of a mo became the epicenter of the pen demick in europe. the picturesque town became a killing field the question of whether this tragedy could have been averted remains unanswered many blame the local and regional governments for closing things down too late the mayor of baghdad denied a request for an interview. this was the frontline in the battle against cove it. seems from march last year when doctors and nurses were caught off guard everybody we spoke to here had just one comparison in mind war. remember one night 8 o'clock maybe i was looking for body bags because i

finished the backs were to put to the. people who are dying moments like that are now a thing of the past says dr said joe and set it to the pen demick is far from over but for him and his team there is hope with explanations on the rise and important lessons learned. dr on how to kept a diary his form of therapy as he says his accounts of being in the eye of the storm were printed in a local newspaper and moved many readers including the pope who invited him to the vatican. these pictures of the trucks leaving town loaded with bodies soon became iconic images of a tragedy that shook italy and the whole of europe to its core before their departure don't come to me not to used to give his final blessing to the deceased here at his church which was serving as a makeshift morgue at the time the community suffered is cut i mean at the stood by its side during the church bells to notify loved ones under lockdown at home

whenever trucks left the compound loaded with the dead though they took a need that upon the me of a move the with the weather that i told my priests that at the end of the pandemic we should be able to look ourselves in the mirror. we should be shepherds and not run away when our flock is in trouble and suffering is on the muscle look we're going to be calling and we're going to grow from the fatigue because the injury in the. one year later he feels fear has given way to a sense of solidarity but overcoming the collective trauma will take time not just here at the church but in the region as a whole. more and more people from south and central america are seeking refuge in the u.s. hopeful for president biden's new immigration policies what's on the dangerous road to the u.s. the 1st stop is detention camps until i'm certain future. they

just crossed the border between mexico and the united states and they have been caught by the authorities a group of 57 immigrants most of them from central america once on u.s. soil they are looking for the border patrol not only because they are tired thirsty on time great but also because they want to start the asylum process as soon as possible. a short distance from the natural order comes the unfinished fence that makes up one 3rd of the over 3100 kilometers tell than a quarter of the construction has stopped under the biden administration. i'm tossing weise our friends they both grappa near the border her grandmother came from mexico his father as well in a time of no barriers between mexico and the united states. we want to make sure that they treat them well we have kids we have frank kids some still babies so this is why it hurts to see them crossing. you saw they were

7 or 8 years old this is why we're here you know as another possible. if i missed. the bus arrives to carry the young. parents on their kids to the closest detention center and they live in the us i know that most and especially on at least 150000 asylum seekers with children have been caught in the past weeks and are being held under custody a big challenge for the current administration us good at that i feel that biden wants to move forward and solve the problem because there are so many that have to be processed and at the same time make sure that they finally arrive in a safe place. because safety is one of the main reasons such forced them to escape from places where criminal activity is part of their every day. cameras are not allowed inside the detention center even basic information about

the number of immigrants and how long they're being detained is not released but pictures taken by a democratic congressman show that the conditions inside are terrible especially for kids the republican party is using this as a political tool against the biden administration and his party they're also portraying immigrants as a national security threat. once released its volunteers like rachel who guide them something out asylum seekers are being held in custody over the legal limit of 72 hours all this after an epic journey well in all the said it was an odyssey suffering from hunger thirst i hope the sacrifice was worth it and so going to be so out of doubt that quickly comes a smile since their new life is already started and. in brussels the european union wants to strengthen the rights of people with disabilities european parliament member country one and see the news from

experience the discrimination is still pervasive. someone like you can't do that. caterine lung incident was told as a teenager who dreams of being a t.v. reporter nobody would like to see a person with or without this ability in front of the camera don't even think about it's like flying to the moon instead of long in deep and was told to be grateful for the offer of an office job in an institution for people with disabilities hidden away from the public. i don't do that and the guy who went super angry and sat year or never find a job somewhere else she managed to find one fed up with the lack of options available to people with disabilities lenin's even became a politician and now a member of the european parliament i decided ok what can i do and where's the

place in society for me and there was no place so i created my own space. if nobody cares what you are doing you're totally free to do what you want what she wants is equal rights and opportunities sometimes even she can't predict practical obstacles at 1st she couldn't even vote she couldn't push the buttons on the electronic box her mailbox was too hard i said please be aware it would be nice to put my own mail a lot in the highest box here half. she says she was told the system simply had to go alphabetically long as you can was one of the driving forces behind the european parliament's 2020 resolution laying out its priorities for the e.u. commission's new disability strategy and access to opportunity of inclusion and participation of basic human rights among lawmakers demands initiatives to improve

the rights of people with disabilities in all policy areas to guarantee access to health care employment transport and housing and to make sure the pandemic doesn't make things worse. worse long and is confident things are slowly moving in the right direction there's an openness. and. so i'm always positive otherwise i couldn't do that job you have to be positive. even though it's a tiny step it's a step and although it's not the role she dreamed of as a child katrina long and see been is in front of the camera and making news.

it's cause is a world of it's. like life in south. america as a robot is known for i don't usually create a sense. season's a monster not only in how my mind on russia. next song. comes from nigeria to save the world the superhero comic republic. for screens i'm convinced here is that looks like. it's inspired people to feel good not the white people but the book here's a shocker because we do not really have the power of super villains everywhere had to better watch out the 77 percent. in 60 minutes.
