i want. those moving back. and social norms and inform them about that basic rights my name is the american and i wore. this is the day of the news coming up today and intensifying cracked on protesters in myanmar. violence like this coverage by the military has prompted warnings of a syria like situation from the u.n. we asked if there is increasingly confident of holding on to in the country trust taiwan's talk boom that's coronavirus forces more people to cover their faces. or using the time to make changes to that appearance.

that you could join us the european union is reportedly planning to sanction 10 individuals and 2 companies connected to the military regime in myanmar according to news agency reuters the sanctions could come into effect by next week the sanctions come amid a warning from the un human rights chief who said the situation in the country could be spiraling to a full blown syria style conflicts more than $700.00 people have been killed since the military took power in a coup in february and since then its crackdown on pro-democracy protesters has only grown stronger. these. military will go to. to crackdown on dissenting voices. this video from social media shows the moments

a prominent protest leader is deliberately rammed off his motorbike. way monad was arrested by armed men after trying to flee the incident with friends saying they now fear for his safety. security forces have used increasingly violent tactics to quell the anti coup movement the un says there are echoes of the civil war in syria. there too we saw peaceful protests met with unnecessary and clearly disproportionate force the state's brutal persistent repression of its own people led to some individuals taking up arms followed by a downward and rapidly expanding spiral of violence all across the country. despite the risk to their lives protesters have been trying to keep up the pressure on the military regime the spilled red paint symbolizes the blood of those who die each activists say at least 700 people have been killed since protests began in

february. normally at the moment people in myanmar would be celebrating tonight jan burgess new year holiday but not this year. it's important for young people to rebel against a dictator we can't be happy now as long as we live under this dictatorship our future is lost. the protesters aren't giving up but neither it seems is the military. for robertson from human rights watch has been monitoring the situation in myanmar for the past couple of months and joins me now from bunkered fairly heavy entered a phase in myanmar where the haunter is comfortable with the status quo and deliberately confident of keeping power. well i'm not sure that they're confident yet but they are certainly acting on a presumption that the protesters on the streets are their enemy and they're using lethal force against them you know they're treating myanmar cities like

a battlefield and they've used machine guns and grenades and r p g's against protesters in places like by go where last week we saw more than 80 people killed in one morning and what are you hearing from protesters on the ground do they feel the international community is standing up for them. they are disappointed by the international community they want to see more action they have appreciate all the statements that have been made by various foreign ministers around the world and by the u.n. security council and others but they're calling for much more i think if they had their way they would see an invocation by the u.n. security council of the responsibility to protect doctrine and some sort of deployment by the international community into me and my but i don't think that's realistic and i don't think that's really in anybody's plans you know whether it be the u.s. you or elsewhere so you know the people i think are disappointed the international

community hasn't come in as almost like the cavalry but they're determined to continue protesting they're angry at the military and they are quite clear that they do not want this myanmar military in any sort of future for myanmar and wonder talking for their own sort of also the e.u. member for the sanction officials and companies connected to the who. are going to be the 1st sanctions from the e.u. but is this going to help change the situation in any way. well it's a substantive step forward the european union has frankly been a bit slow in imposing target economic sanctions and now we're hearing that they're going to go after the 2 major military controlled business conglomerates the union money on mar economic holdings and the myanmar economic corporation which is what we have been asking them to do from the very beginning we have to go after the companies we have to go after the cash flow to the myanmar military junta just

targeting talk level of myanmar military officials it's important but it's not enough speaking of the economic side of things i mean menards main trading partners in the region countries like china india japan thailand for example do you think these countries are doing enough to enable a return to democracy quite clearly the front line states are not doing enough to actually pressure the myanmar military junta to return to the barracks and to allow for the democracy that they have destroyed to be reconstituted i think that unfortunately we're seeing a go along to get along sort of arrangement from these front line states like thailand in india and know there is hope that somehow there will be some action from the. association of southeast asian nations but we're not seeing that we're

just seeing a very divided regional body here that's not really prepared to go forward and unity to pressure the government in myanmar relieve it there for the time being but thank you so much for joining us from robots and from human rights watch thank you now the military's violent crackdown against but just as it's forcing many to seek shelter with groups that have been for yez fighting the army groups such as the cattle national liberation army based in southeastern states on the border with thailand. the f. mcadam like many other ethnic groups in the country have been for years fighting the military for some form of self government they are now proving life savers for those fleeing the military's crackdown on democracy it may not look like much but this rule forest campese become a sanctuary for me in march terrified protesters who although we had been

protesting peacefully we had to run away because of the violent crackdown and we knew that if we were to get arrested the security forces would not let us live animal they would kill us. they arrived in the territory of one of the country's key armed to rebel groups the karen national liberation army the group controls large swathes of land on the border with thailand and has been fighting the central government for the last 70 years life in the camp is spartan among its new inhabitants striking teachers who see they had no choice but to flee there after the junk issued warrants for their arrests. that there is no trust between the civil servants and the ethnic armed groups they help us and their kind we feel safe being here since they started siding with us we told them ask us for anything that we can do to help we are ready to help. new partnership has brought continued

attention to the broad spectrum of resistance that the junk tonneau faces and greece concerns that should they go on the offensive violence could spiral out of control. and there's reports of members of ethnic groups uniting with lawmakers and who protesters to form a national unity government in the country something we'll be tracking in the coming weeks. so many of us have been wearing face masks this past year that all down sides in taiwan some people have decided to take advantage of the fact their faces are covered to get plastic surgery doubloons joints lead has this report. a clean exit so during the pandemic it's not just here to have a 1st after micro plastic surgery one thing is i want to have botox along my child line and hyaluronic acid fillers from my chin i'm very happy and excited because

country many of their ancestors came from. queen elizabeth and prince philip on a state visit to germany in 2015 their 5th official trip to germany together once again they were futuristically received some germans traveled hundreds of kilometers for a glimpse of the royals. that's the movement you just don't get to do it and i'm very glad we did. they embody certain values tradition pride and the friendship between england and germany perhaps the queen is a special kind of personality when she's in germany you have to be there. the british royal family is very popular in germany royal weddings are broadcast live on german television and millions watch during state visits republicans can briefly become royalists. to project a lot on for the entire family because they are so present in the media but at the

same time the royals personally want as little as possible to be known about them and of course many people find the tradition and the glamour fascinating the ceremonial aspect it costs also titles the carriages. but most germans don't want their own monarchy abolished in 1918 back by 2020 poll conducted in protest the map showed that 85 percent were opposed to having a monic as head of state but germans are nonetheless very interested in the glitz and glamour of royal houses around europe. prince philip's death also touched the hearts of many germans german newspapers had emotional front page coverage the day after he died chancellor angela merkel price's integrity his dedication to duty and his friendship with germany prince philip had a special connection to germany his parents were german nobility i mean spent part of his childhood in southern germany so mary elizabeth he became british and
