5:05 pm
already sense here 6 hospitals and being treated for so. authorities are trying to clear the. track so that. the trains passed nice mostly because the holiday is. go on here on monday so it is important that the traffic will not be talked by the train. joys how have the people of taiwan reacted to this terrible news. they are terry shocked and very saddened on us because this is the 1st day of. law we can. where people usury go back to their hometown and are reunited with their family and pay respect to the ancestors this is a very very sad in time once. it did of your correspondent joyce lee thank you very much. myanmar's military has shut down wireless internet services across
5:06 pm
the country until further notice protesters took to the streets anyway in like here in the city of daraa way rallies took place at different times of the day it's part of a strategy to make it harder for security forces to break them up almost $550.00 people have now been killed in 2 months of unrest among them $44.00 children the u.n. security council is expressing deep concern about the worsening situation in myanmar as worries spread of a potential civil war. i'm joined by tom andrews he is the un's special report on myanmar he joins us from washington tom the u.n. security council has strongly condemned the violence against peaceful protesters is that going to have any impact on the situation. well only if additional steps are taken words or course are important but action is even more important and that is exactly what the people of me and more now are calling for
5:07 pm
a course in critical to shut down the internet shut down we're also seeing is that the military but you are now deploying what charity work and rocket propelled grenades heavy machine guns and snipers. edition of heavy force now being deployed to kill innocent protest really action is what is holding. action you have said a few days ago what's needed is a unified and coordinated effort for sanctions do you see that coalition forming and do you see russia and china finally coming round. well i don't see it forming yet but it certainly needs to be had well over 40 different sessions regimes around the world the u.s. the u.k. just announced stronger sanctions include steps that these sanctions have to be coordinated they have to be late together to have the greatest possible impact and they're not mean together now the security council would be an ideal forum for that to happen there is opposition to that as we as we know no action was taken on on
5:08 pm
friday shown in light of that those countries were willing to impose sanctions or willing to impose an arms embargo a need to coordinate work together unify as so that they could have the strongest possible impact we haven't seen that happen yet but i'm hoping that it will. wouldn't that be going against china and russia and what will that meant. well china and russia obviously have concerns they expressed those concerns at the security council yesterday i and i know that they're not prepared to go forward with sanctions but because some countries are unwilling to move forward with sanctions it does not mean that other train countries can't and if you are willing to more info on the have the people of myanmar and treasure this regime which are using heavier weapons and al is important that you move forward and do so in a coordinated fashion so you don't need everyone to do that and in fact using those those who are opposed to that as an excuse to not act would be
5:09 pm
a really big mistake so what kind of sanctions are you talking about what would be effective. well i think if we could sanction not just the individuals involved here but the businesses and the business conglomerates that the hunter is in control of and has stakes that we need to cut all the revenue go into the military junta including oil and gas it of course we have to cut their their sources of what it we also have to see tradition measures taken it would be very very important to him to be facing justice at the international criminal court and if that can happen in those countries that had universal jurisdiction laws like germany should be actively considering imposing of those kind of measures so that investigations and prosecutions could begin to hold these generals accountable for their reprehensible . tommy mentioned earlier that the regime is now reverting to have you know weapons we also know reports that the demonstrators are lined with local militias
5:10 pm
really heading into a civil war here well it's certainly a great risk and i am hoping that this will not come to pass we know that the junta is looking for every excuse to reign in hell on these innocent protesters they've made up stories about violent protests protesters that they're trying to work a deal with they say that it is the utmost restraint that is completely false and what i'm afraid of is that if there are militias formed that begin to fight back with weapons as is now is well a 2nd understand why they would want to do that that would be in my view a grave mistake and could jeopardize many many many more giving the hooter an excuse to broaden its range of pell fire on these innocent protesters. listen to the internet international community so far the crackdown is even ten's of 5 why do you think they would listen now if sanctions
5:11 pm
really were involved. well you know it changes have had an effect in the past it's a matter of fact. that we're all richer in this crew. that were created precisely because of change so if we were we impose sanctions shouldest them change the chaff and then i think they will have an impact if they can if they see that their revenue is being shot their capacity to do damage is going to be cut and that is exactly what i think the international community should be focusing on right now. tom andrews the un's special rapporteur on me m r thank you very much for taking the time to talk to us thanks for having me. there's been a possible breakthrough in efforts to get iran back to the negotiating table over its nuclear program the u.s. state department says it's willing to join in direct talks with tehran and world powers talks are scheduled in austria next week iran has initially rejected the
5:12 pm
approach 2050 nuclear deal was aimed at limiting iran's nuclear program has been declared all but over since the trumpet ministration unilaterally pulled out of the deal recently iran has resumed enriching uranium to near weapons grade quality triggering a scramble to get both sides to negotiate. from all that are now joined by news teri schultz in brussels terry is this really the new start of the start of a new iran nuclear deal. we're very far away from being able to have any optimism about a new nuclear deal with the european union as the mediator of the current deal is focused on is getting both iran and the united states back into compliance with this agreement the 2015 agreement and what happened today was that there was a virtual meeting. facilitated by the european union of the remaining members of
5:13 pm
the nuclear deal that's the 3 britain france and germany and china and russia along with iran and there agreed to meet in person in vienna next tuesday and then the european union said well it would like to hold separate talks with u.s. officials at the same time in vienna and the u.s. agreed so that is the basis for this new feeling of optimism that there may be some way to talk a both to iran and the united states and to try to get them on the same page not necessarily direct talks at this point that remains up in the year but even talking to them both in the same city is enough to give a breath of fresh air to the possibilities. both the u.s. and iran have always insisted the other side to move 1st before direct talks would be possible so what's changed now is that the direct talks on the table. we're not sure the united states said in responding to this plan for direct for in person
5:14 pm
talks in vienna that it remains open to direct talks with iran now that the state department has said this before and it's been tehran that rejected that idea so it ron says that the u.s. must remove sanctions that were put on by former president trump and the u.s. says there ronn must stop its nuclear activities and come back into compliance at the lower level of enrich uranium that the nuclear deal requires so there still hasn't been any breakthrough on this that each side says the other needs to move but again the facts is that officials from both governments will be inviting vienna at the same time is considered a step forward but if these indirect talks next week in vienna go well what could be next steps the plan in vienna is for there to be 2 lists of tasks to to do lists and that is one for iran what it would take to come back
5:15 pm
into compliance with the deal and for the united states to removing the same actions which are illegal under the deal if the u.s. were to rejoin and those 2 lists at some point would have to be joined up and there would have to be a timeline and that's where things have always gotten stuck before so there are means a lot of work to do to bring both the u.s. and iran back but again there seems to be just a bit of opening of minds on both sides and we'll have to see where that goes there are still conflicting reports of down doing in the twitter sphere about whether the iranians will really come in and what the u.s. might be willing to do so it remains up in the air but at least there is something to talk about now and that hasn't been true for a very long time. until the shoals in brussels that thank you terry. time now to take a look at some of the other stories making headlines around the world clashes have erupted in the disputed region of kashmir villages threw stones at security for
5:16 pm

5:18 pm
a great day in new zealand because i mean as you have said this is this country go to independence in 1960 they have never had a peaceful transition of power so this is really important for them because they have had just food in terms of one president talk or the other so they never really had in a peaceful transition of power but also it's not only nature opposing was tough a country region where. most presidents always preferred to actually is taking power by changing the course future so that they can still grow and gain power so i mean for all we stuff recounts this is really remarkable to see one president handing over to your other. but he just 2 days ago apparently there was an attempted coup so how stable will this new presidency be. yeah i mean the biggest problem is how the military forces i trust 14
5:19 pm
president. and he's also facing. position. and he's a former president who came saw ford's top 40 in 99 when he took power between 198196 so i mean he has so many challenges days also it could be dividing the county is that we should all be security so how he's going to run the country in the next 5 minutes really big challenge. for the new president so aside from staying in power and water are the major issues that lie ahead for president presumably. there is of course as i have just mentioned there is an issue of the security in sargent's have a concrete to be holistic you know what the contrary because 80 percent of the of nisha is not completed controlled by the government forces there have been attacks
5:20 pm
on oh sure weeks ago and there have been like kenyans that you can count to 300 people killed in some parts of new jersey then there is ocean so i knew she of course but in the country and i mean probably me so busy counting these prison has really so many challenges to handle and india is one of the poorest countries in the wild and to this day in court is to countries in the world so how he's going to change that in the next 5 or even a 2nd that's also something that remains to be seen. you know use west africa correspondent fred move on here and lay goes there thank you fred. thousands of germans have traveled to the spanish island of majorca for the easter break for many it's an annual tradition but german officials are warning against overseas for patients because of the danger of spreading infection our reporter young philip short's finds out from tourists and from locals whether all the fun is
5:21 pm
with the wrist. slowly but surely playa diploma is filling up with tourists again this is where most germans who book a trip to my york over easter choose to stay. restaurant owners are pleased every day more beach bars open up their outdoor terraces. but it's not just the beach that is popular activity has picked up at doctors' offices as well starting this week tourists must get tested for corona virus before returning to germany. you have ferries options you can make an appointment at the airport then you don't have to wait at all but you pay more as far as i know there are also 2 other places near here where you can take a test so personally i don't think it's all that bad to be honest we won't be doing this again it was nice to get away for a few days but the hoops we have to jump through to return and the fear that comes with being tested is too much what if it comes back positive the whole thing is
5:22 pm
just exhausting. despite virus fears the island expects over 40000 german guests this stuff about things low completely different in the city of just a few kilometers away normally this location is firmly in the hands of british vacationers but unlike the germans they are not allowed to travel at the moment those who do face have the fines so the mood in town is. 50 to 60 percent of the businesses here will have to close completely. it's simply become impossible to pay rent without any revenue. right now the infection rate on my ankle remains low but it has been slowly rising some feel that the island will soon close again completely the fear of the virus in one place and the fear of complete economic ruin in the other no where in the world is the typical
5:23 pm
dynamic of the pandemic as obvious as in majorca where 80 percent of the people live directly or indirectly from tourism. power doubt that he gets comments on the back and forth between reopening tourist attractions and really imposing restrictions with his biting caricatures in majorca local newspapers for him the pandemic has shown that mass tourism on the island is a thing of the past it's like a medicine the right dose is great but too much is dangerous when you used to work well on the island but then suddenly 5 times as many tourists came many in the tourism industry are exploited in the eighty's it was better less tourism be to a better quality of life and which intercommunal sort of most of you know what in the meantime several hotels on the island have already been converted into quarantine accommodation this is where some german vacationers who tested positive are state they are required to wait at least 2 weeks before they are allowed to return to germany. to have
