stop trying to get out of. a meth account welcome more on those stories in a moment but 1st we start with some breaking news coming out of taiwan dozens of people to feed did after a passenger trying day in a tunnel authorities say at least 36 people are showing no signs of life and that more than 70 others injured rescuers have been trying to access several badly damaged carriages local media reports say a truck fell from a cliff above and landed on the tracks we're trying to merge in from a tunnel smash into it will bring in more detail on this story as it comes to hand . to me and mine now where there is growing international concern over. the

military's use of violence against peaceful protesters members of the un security council have expressed deep concern about the rapidly deteriorating situation and i strongly condemned the deaths of hundreds of civilians including women and children thousands of people have fled into neighboring tal and. up to 2 months of daily street protests a symbolic act brings new hope to the cause protesters in cities around me on my burnt the 2008 constitution a constitution that was designed by the military opponents of the one to have declared void and have written an alternative charter but with members of the democratically elected government detained finding a diplomatic resolution is becoming increasingly difficult elected leader uncensored she now faces new charges if convicted she could be barred from ever holding office again. her lawyers have only been able to say her briefly via video

link. to my well i'm not able to say whether she is aware of what is happening in the country due to the circumstances yesterday and today a court she may know or not i can't guess. the amount and yet it was good to say heard today and yesterday by a conference saying she is healthy. the u.n. special envoy for me on my has urged the un security council to act she wanted the country is at risk of falling into civil wall activists on the ground say the situation is dire we've been crying off oppression from the military and continuous effort from our forces to this very. civil war you know must try and i i would like you know a few to the united nations to do something about it because we could see a lot of sanctions coming from the u.k. the united states and japan and other european countries but they hasn't been any

form sanctions coming from that un. oh many demonstrators now believe an alternative force is the only way to return democracy to me and my several of the country's minority ethnic groups already have armed militias some have denounced the current saying they will protect their territories and protesters. well earlier we spoke to ban correspondent david greene bomb and we asked him if really is on the brink of civil war as the u.n. envoy is warning. when you look at how the situation has deteriorated during the past few weeks the massive uptick in violence security forces attacks largely on unarmed civilians. now we may see more on death and groups potentially getting involved in the fight in different fronts the fact that students in office workers from the main cities have been going to the jungles to get some sleep crash courses

in guerrilla warfare all this shows you that this really does have the potential to turn into a full blown civil war how quickly we get there is a little difficult to say but as this develops we could somebody looking at suit shortages. the public health care system in myanmar which in before the pandemic was greatly under resourced well now it's barely functioning that could get much worse this could absolutely turn into a complete humanitarian disaster and myanmar countries who just a couple years ago people were talking about the potential for it well now we have to wonder if it's going to turn into a failed state i was a journalist speaking to us a little earlier on now for a roundup of some of the latest developments in the corona virus pandemic now and the world health organization has criticised europe's vaccine rollout as quote unacceptably slow chile has closed its borders for the month of april despite backs

and i think over a 3rd of its population infection numbers are still rising and intensive care beds are not in 5 percent capacity meanwhile the director of africa's disease control body said india's temporary hold on exporting the astra zeneca vaccine could have a quote catastrophic impact on the continent india has delayed maija exports to ensure it can make local demand. staying with the pandemic and and i performed a prank in belgium that quickly got out of hand police in brussels stepped in to break up a party in a park that was flouting social distancing rules and the other pandemic measures europe like much of the world is currently going through a 3rd wave of the pandemic which has prompted most governments to invoke restrictive rules for people to get together. not only is this party illegal. it also started as a joke. easing tear gas and water cannon police dispersed thousands of people from

a park in brussels saying it violated coronavirus restrictions he said. we came to the park and the next thing we knew it was going up in flames but it's not right that they have the water cannon and where he with nothing it's not ok. to suppose used. to be. dozens of party is and police were injured in the unrest. it's the police that's chasing us hitting us breaking everything it's because of the police because the police. the party started as an event on facebook and authorities had warned it was an april fool's day joke. but that didn't stop thousands of people from showing up. but i think that too much is being done and i think their young people are not trusted enough although they are aware of these fires and know how to be careful so that too many rules are imposed on us that

really deprive us of our freedom just for you to see your group i think comes at a time when covert 19 infections are surging in belgium police have warned that party goers could face prosecution. ok let's take a look now at some of the other stories making headlines around the world that's prime minister has survived one of the biggest political fights of his decade in power he's narrowly survived a no confidence vote a claims he lied about coalition talks with has not been forced to resign but his chances of forming a new government had been dealt a serious blow. holy thursday services being held that not of a dam cathedral in paris it's the 1st since the gothic building was badly damaged in a fire 2 years ago scaled down ceremony involved a foot washing ritual that symbolizes jesus' willingness to. was president joe biden has held his 1st cabinet meeting at the white house news

together and to promote his new 2 trillion dollar infrastructure plan the senate confirmed the full cabinet last way biden has hailed it as the most diverse in u.s. history. of the u.s. border patrol has released dramatic footage of children being dropped of reform a high fence on the us mexico border authorities say the people dying the people doing the 2 young girls over the barrier people smugglers i drop them one by one over the other side this happened earlier this week border police say the children were taken to hospital and cleared of any physical injuries. reporter katie stevens has more on this could be do we know any more about the circumstances yes i think we can actually pull up those pictures again we should probably one of you is they are quite distressing images and so what we see here according to u.s. authorities is. 2 alleged people smugglers here we go. border fence

so 4 meters high and dangling a small child dying and holding her by the hand and then dropping her she hits the ground with quite a thump it looks like then the same thing happens with another slightly larger child when she hits the ground as well to allege people smugglers then back over the fence into mexico and running off into the desert it now as you said luckily ok these 2 sisters from ecuador aged 3 and 5 no reported injuries now their mother is apparently in the u.s. and health or eighty's are in contact with her. but you have to think if they hadn't been seen so quickly on these cameras and left to fend for themselves maybe things wouldn't have turned out that way and so authorities are also working to identify who these smugglers oddie been called in humane and morally reprehensible that was the department of homeland security that said that we know is this an isolated incident while sadly not there's been several instances of revery young children being found alone near the u.s.

border said recently a 4 year old boy from honduras found wandering along the banks of the rio grande river which we know is a dangerous river for anyone trying to cross let alone a child and sadly a 9 year old mexican girl died attempting that crossing last month there's been a big uptick in the number of unaccompanied minors arriving in the u.s. over 9000 in 53 alone and it's not unusual to see it was in the spring but that doesn't mean it's not a humanitarian crisis shaping up there and it's really becoming a bit of a problem for president joe biden his administration recently caved to pressure to live journalists into one of the holding centers face church and i think we can see some images of that now as well so this is in texas. over 4000 people in space for just a few 100 here and as you can see children sleeping on the concrete floor covered in foil blankets really quite squalid conditions there so it's really quite a big dilemma for joe biden he's tied to a more humane approach to immigration said he won't turn children away but now

critics are saying well you're actually putting more children at risk creating incentive for more to come so just briefly then what is the bottom ministrations plan going forward well the homeland security department says it's working around the clock to move the children i had in terms of dealing with the border issue vice president coming to harris has been leading efforts to address this rise in migrants arriving so she'll be diplomatic efforts trying to stem the flow from central american countries who have to remember the root causes people are fleeing poverty death to the feeling violence immigration advocates who say the whole system is over a whole lot that you need to make it easier for children to be reunited with relatives in the united states so that their families aren't don't feel that they're forced to put them into the hands of these people smugglers in the 1st place the stevens thanks so much. thanks to the support that. even close to surfing its border in the world coastal regions that prod themselves on big waves often written on 1000 euros boards body surface and the next to no equipment and
