9:07 am
a violent situation in myanmar because of the army so you've got to get them to stop and the only way to make that happen is to gauge with them and so that's why you see them there now it was interesting today that the laser put out a press conference giving a press release that came out this morning that i saw were basically you know they talk about how you know this senior gentleman on along with the junta leader would be there but they didn't recognize him as a legitimate leader of the country they didn't say he was illegitimate but they did recognize him in the same sort of light as they recognize leaders from other countries if you look at that statement there so it's interesting to see some of the different approaches that countries are taking i love to be a fly on the wall in that room for a list of reasons one of which is just to see the way that they're addressing him and how you know in the way that they're addressing are they really trying to get them on the same playing field as the other leaders who are there well the country's on as and have so far failed to condemn the coup but they are expected to call for an end to the violence at a summit why are they taking such

9:09 am
a point a leader to not only agree but to evolve follow through with ending the violence against unarmed civilians against the protesters to stop terrorizing the civilian population they can't get that agreement and haven't a leader actually follow through on it then i see and that's basically impotent now and beyond that what you hope to see is that they could get an agreement to get humanitarian aid into the country that they could get an on going to the country to really be working on the ground there and to get this senior general to agree to a process that could lead to mediation and reconciliation that's when you hope to see those things but it's hard to say they're going to get any of that done today or on tape going about in quantum how many thanks for that. let's turn now to some other stories making headlines around the world more ships and aircraft are joining the search for the indonesian submarine missing since wednesday in the bali
