killing the design the people the killing the people who love it and even become a speaks well in that. the violence coincided with me and mars armed forces holiday . while general celebrated with a military parade security forces were opening fire indiscriminately on the streets it was the defense chiefs of 12 nations have released a joint statement denouncing the hunt as massacre of civilians but rights groups want to see more than words from the international community given the military's track record. this is a military that's had a long history of unity and committing tragedies against its indifference is this time around we're seeing photographs coming out in real time we can say we didn't know what was happening. despite the killings there's little sign that protesters are going home on sunday they've built barricades to stave off security forces in yang gone they're not prepared to let the generals keep control of their country.
6:03 pm
reported a has been covering events from miramar for us she joins us now from neighboring bangkok a i imagine yesterday's massacre was a turning point what are you hearing about the mood there. so after yesterday's killings a lot of people in the streets as well as people who have been supporting the civil disobedience movement have really began to talk about. violence as a way to achieve the ends that they are looking for and what a number of people are now saying to join trainings that are provided by our organization that's part of how to resist in place or lasting peace and you know you talked earlier about the 100 nation. the one tapped by the world's militaries as well as many governments around the world but people are seeing that russia china as well as other countries are just at the start of

a mugger there were attending in advance yesterday and so people are really looking towards self-reliance as well as peaceful means to cheat there and now you say no and peaceful means you say south carolina and that goes right into my 2nd question for you which is how much more death can the protestors bear among their ranks before they turn violent themselves. so i think we're already seeing protesters turn towards violence in the lead in the days leading up to yesterday's events and there has been talk among the public about forming a federal army a new you know our military that is outside of them that are very existing m.r.v. one that is partially armed groups but also. civilians who would become soldiers into this new army and we've also seen protesters start to pick up.
6:05 pm
whether that be just throwing rocks or people who are bringing slingshots to protests as well as using matar cocktails and other sorts of homemade weapons always things are ratcheted up that night not be good news for either side here as government troops continue killing peaceful protesters are there any signs of dissent in the military's ranks. we have seen a number of soldiers defecting although it's quite a few there's been more police who the fact that there's a number of people who have defected and sought refuge in india there's over 300 people now seeking refuge in india in quite a number of them are police there's also been a number of police officers who have fled central myanmar into regions controlled by organizations in order to keep themselves and their family safe while refusing to obey orders from their superiors to were hurt civilians we haven't seen

6:11 pm
a very similar in an insurgency that we saw in northeastern nigeria with you have a poor area of the country one of the poorest areas within the country a lot of people were angry that the government is not investing anything and the government is not listening a few people are ready the response by the security forces is to crack down on them which radicalized even more people so that way things out of control and where the government was downplaying things we have a situation that we see at the moment when we were there last month we had the most gruesome stories from civilians who were running away from from these areas villages who saw their neighbors decapitated in front of them children being kidnapped and there's so many of these stories it has been happening for months it is not clear what the group really once but it is likely that is more about power and access to resources than it is about religion and sounded very much like a country in crisis which likely to be the impact of both the attack and to tell us decision to withdraw. well if they really finally withdraw and
6:12 pm
they will not come back this will have to reflect on the economy of mozambique the 6 poorest country in the world and the government was hoping to make more than 98 $1000000000.00 within the next 25 years because of the gas exploitation this is unlikely to happen because up until now the exploitation hasn't started this is all in a very early stage companies already invested a lot they haven't started selling any gas so if they don't do that obviously that will have disastrous effects on the economy and for the government as well increase reporting as always adrian much thanks. transitioning now to a giant relic of the cold war that's been salvaged from the bottom of the sea the hybrid ship aircraft was once the showpiece of the soviet military of nation only a few were ever built now the craft is going on display for flight fans to admire. the gigantic fast dangerous the

ton flying boat a few meters above the water allowing it to move at higher speeds but the flying machine was never actually used on a real mission. to see craft is ruined the work of many designers and engineers but it's good that it's still here because some people were considering dismantling it and using the parts for scrap metal. the caspian sea monster will be displayed at patriot park in dagestan the sea craft symbolizes modern russia drawing parallels to its ancient strength. well germany is moving ahead in its drive to abandon coal as a fuel for generating electricity a coal fired power station in the rural industrial area has been blown up after coming to the end of its working life the cooling tower boiler house and a 250 metre high chimney were all demolished in controlled explosions the german government is committed to phasing out coal by 2038 this site had been generating

6:16 pm
serious problems on a personal level and i was unable to live there but once i'm going to. want to know their story in full migrants terrified and reliable information for margaret's. the only way to get here is by air or ship dr camillo create oh has organized an airlift to bring much needed help during the kobe pandemic today they're up to 10 b. key near colombia's pacific coast this dangerous area is teeming with armed groups since the beginning of the pandemic the need has become even greater. holders not scalpel handles not sterile compressive they say doctor the compressor

6:18 pm
the us but this every day i see this contrast between my own life. it and wants going on in my country he said i think the opportunities life is granted now come with the responsibility. for your all aflutter yes. when the pandemic began dr prieto started collecting donations. such as masks medicines and disinfectants mostly from big companies and 5 donors. bolland here pilots at the pacific civil air patrol for example are also happy to support dr prieto in his efforts. for. flights. occasionally and there are complications to deal with. pilot jose luis ollie better those talks about
6:19 pm
a recent mishap while attempting to land after being warned of cows on the runway he was forced to fly over and restart his landing maneuver. during trips to remote areas such experiences are commonplace with no pence's around the landing strip no tower and no air traffic controllers. fortunately upon arriving at tenby key he finds the runway empty. at the beginning of the pandemic the community was virtually cut off. there is no road leading here and since last march the air traffic has been a regular. this presents a problem for the inhabitants who receive food and clothing by air and ship and
6:20 pm
hospital supplies are particularly vital the hospital is responsible for. around $20000.00 residents in the surrounding area and it lacks even the most basic facilities no blood reserves tests or oxygen tanks regional health official carmen yasmeen had none does is exasperated. them offer nothing only this but i don't know what else they get the order we have many remote areas and it can take people 7 or 8 hours to get here. and when they do they often can't be treated. then they referred to larger hospitals but that cost time and money and would have the proof fatal for the patient. if this was a little is a lifeline for all of timber they've. been leaking. this woman needs help for her daughter she's been suffering from severe diarrhea
6:21 pm
for days. they even took a boat to reach the hospital. but to her dismay the doctors can't help. that's what they want but as i've been here for 3 days with my daughter. to let it examine but couldn't give her the treatment she needed but the diarrhea went away on its own. people. even though the hospital has the best equipment in the area at the moment there's no running water. time and again the power goes out protective clothing is also scarce. so dr ed got it by nias is delighted to receive dr p. a toast protective masks. is certainly important down there with. the very important as it's the only way for us to fight the pandemic. that. they don't but
6:22 pm
it's even more important to talk to the people and build awareness and there. were no one there that day party here at night with almost no one wearing masks. but. you only really see masks in the hospital. and all that the pope but i mean i'm a doctor prieto does what he can and. several people from the area have gathered in the waiting room. where he is answering questions about a cold bit. the intellivision when they talk about the corona virus. sometimes they talk about the effectiveness of the vaccination. but over a longer period of time. so if i were to get vaccinated today how long would i be immune. and does it make a difference if i felt the 1st or 2nd jan. one
6:23 pm
here but everyone with a look at this hour i can only tell you what we know so far since the vaccine is quite new. look at public opinion we're still learning a lot. more that is good but some studies have shown the vaccine provides 8 months of immunity on. such a method it might be a bit more. work anymore we're not sure. what and we have to wait and see. if. you. know dr prieto treats a boy with a severely infected hand having to make do with a few supplies in an attempt to avoid having to amputate the child's finger instead of putting the boy under he uses a local anesthetic with no sterile gloves or compresses be needed in making a finding inequality is hard to go. when you're in
6:24 pm
a hospital like it is that you really understand the what it means that the excess will last how do you want it means to not have access to health can that heal we were professional that i thought of what it means when doctors want to help their fellow human beings is not caught. because they don't have the results it was worth of food. and they don't have the connections to the state government who are now in dallas. for the people here there are bigger concerns than the bias. masks play hardly any role in their everyday lives. there's not much work in the region and people are afraid of criminal gangs since the area is a corridor for drug trafficking. dr prieto feels it's
6:25 pm
all the more important to win over people's trust that's why he makes house calls. today he's brought masks and explains how to use them to protect against the virus always ask. for that only one of them he explains to this woman how to use a mask correctly some of it was he was a guest that we had a body like he offers her several of them but asks her to dispose of them properly with i thought both of you not going to thank you. he shows her that she should wear them with the blue side facing out with as we're about up with a. fire. it's important to his donors that he documents his work since donations often don't reach their proper destination for their growth. but a very good idea dr prieto tells the boat driver he's ready to set off again.
6:26 pm
after delivering the masks he heads back to. receive a bundle i think of 1st they were a bit skeptical and dismissive of the mosques. but then they were really thankful it was going to this i hope they won't use them whenever possible is going to mean what was your name. back in tim beaky there's good news a military helicopter is arriving with the 1st vaccines with 400 doses for health care workers and people over 83 it's just the town has been waiting a long time for this columbia's vaccination program got off to a slow start but with vaccines now reaching even remote areas there is now at least hope. just one little jab and the 1st doctor in to be key
6:27 pm
is bax a native. new. york. doctor prieto hopes the backs of nations will change the public mood making people less skeptical of the health measures. on his way back to the airstrip he stops one last time and spontaneously hands out a few more masks. i feel like we haven't done much and a lot is still lacking. the pandemic has left behind deep wounds. inequality and injustice persist. but of the nearly still our actions aren't
6:28 pm
in the finals on a steady business as soon as you know each day we are creating hope is that. the one that can really affect change. and hopefully it will help us live in a better country one than it did then i don't buy the whole. dr coming up rate oh started his airlift in the pandemic. but he wants to continue it even if everyone is vaccinated and the virus is finally brought under control.
