a priest preaching against the oppression of south african blacks. he called for peaceful resistance and soon became one of the most important spokesmen of the anti apartheid movement. in lean, you install one, becoming free. you're going to me, the i'm a para chinese and he came to destroy it 130 dad. he's i know it back outside of south africa to, to received great recognition for his courage in 1084. he won the nobel peace prize . o 22 was a thorn in the side of the country's apartheid government. but his prominence also shielded him. in 1985, the anglican church elected him bishop of u hattiesburg. and later archbishop of cape town. after the end of apartheid, came

a really sad day for so many there. how did the end come for such a beloved figure in south africa? a said be indeed for south africa and south africans. in fact, africa is large to do died today this morning, or sunday it is a home in kept town details actually is actually the cause of death. have not been announced the statements that came from the presidents and the other one, but kim f. one exactly. it was of debt, but with not is that for a long time now has been struggling with protest. the post it is been out of it, but it said that it was m f 2. so unfortunately i'm gonna have to come in there. it's such a shame, but we actually are having problems with that line. i will try to come to you again

later with better audio, apologies for that line and having to sit down now with thousands of protesters have taken to the streets of cartoon and other cities demanding a transition to civilian rule. the rallies came 2 months after a bit military coup. the civilian prime minister, abdullah hm. doc has been reinstated, but the pro democracy movement once and government completely free from military control. ah, t gas and water cannon against a growing movement. angry at military roll sedans, capitol cartoon was once again the scene of mass pro democracy protests. a military crew in october through the countries transition to democracy into disarray. and the reinstatement of the military and civilian government. a month later failed to ease anger at the armies power grab when we are here and we still believe in the 3 nose, no legitimacy, no bargaining,

no partnership with the military. the military does not rule us and we demand the handover of full power to civilians. we demand civilian democratic role, the more robbing maddening, almost 50 people have been killed and hundreds injured in crackdowns on anti cru protests since october. and there have been allegations of security forces raping women protesters in the lead up to saturdays rally the authorities, blocked roads and bridges. internet and phone lines were cut off. but the pro democracy movement is still finding ways to stand together against military rule. earlier we spoke to d w. africa correspondent felix marina is following that story for us from nairobi . we asked him how likely it was that the protest as demands would be met. it is very unlikely that the military will actually stepped down or back down. and based

on that resent development caused a lake area to do, the internet was cut off. so people who are not able to communicate amongst themselves and so they are not able to mobilize as enough, but a protest i talked to this particular evening said that the military seems to be dead tired in getting tired with what the protest, those are continuously doing. to mount pressure on them, but it is very unlikely because even the prime minister who was reinstated thiel has his powers cleave to buy this sim military, that people lay expecting to bug don't. so whether the military will back down, it's very highly unlikely, especially are following veggies and developments t w's, felix marine gas. speaking to us a little earlier. let's turn out to some other stories making headlines around the world. a suicide bomber has killed at least 5 people in the eastern city of benny in the democratic republic of congo. the explosion went off in a busy restaurant in the cities down town. no group has claimed responsibility,

but the city has regularly same clashes between the army and an islamist group. a major hospital in sydney has admitted that it falsely gave 400 people negative cove at 19 test results when they were in fact positive. the hospital says the mix up was from tests done on december 22 and 23. and that was a result of human error. new south wales reported a record number of cove at 19 cases on sunday ban ballasa guy. locals have been ordered to stay out of the water at morrow bay on california central coast. after a shock killed a server of the cities beach and other surface, all the victim floating face down in the water. he couldn't be resuscitated. the man's identity hasn't been released man, miles, military has been accused of killing at least 30 people from the concur. any minority in the countries east. witnesses said the say the victims were killed all trying to slay fighting between the army and resistance groups. i group to save the

children, says 2 of its members were caught up in the violence and a still missing a vehicle was found, burned out along with dozens of chant courses. from i'm joined by the deputy asia director of human rights watch phil roberts and he's currently in bangkok filled the military says he was targeting armed terrorist, but these people have thought to have been civilians. why with a targeted they are clearly in the wrong place at the wrong time. these were as far as we can tell civilians fleeing fighting in other areas, they're trying to get to safety. and obviously they ran into a group of, of myanmar soldiers who decided actually to use them essentially as target practice . it is astonishing this, this is yet another instance of a likely crimes against humanity, but committed by the myanmar military. it's outrageous, it's unacceptable. now to save the children's staff will so got caught up in that

and then remain missing. the organization now says it's going to suspend its operations in man, my is the country getting to dangerous and jo's to operate in? well i think that in these areas where the men are military is basically unleashed where they are basically sent in to the ground to fight against any one. they are treating civilians as a basically targets. this is a part of their state or operating procedure. and unfortunately, this has happened in many johns, many places before, for international and jos operating in the area. there is great need for assistance and support for persons who have been displaced by fighting, who are internally displaced. persons, you know, every group is going to have to make their own call, of course, and in terms of your organization, are you able to say whether or not human rights watch are able to still be working in the country? while certainly we're working in the country, but we have to,

we returned to us sort of operational a profile that we had during previous military regimes where, you know, someone are pops up and says hi, i'm working for human rights watch. they're going to be arrested. so we're require like many other human rights groups to operate underground. mom and, and this is increasing the profile of many, myanmar journalists as well that they are facing arrest simply for doing their jobs . this is why the situation is getting so much worse, or we're just seeing that the military using all various tactics without any concern for the rights abuses their committee. and this is perhaps a 1000000 dollar question and one that you may not be able to answer but where it's getting so much worse as we have saying, as he to said, where is this headed, phil? i mean what, what needs to be done? what can be done? well, the international committee really needs to step up because the situation is headed downhill. we're going to see more tit for tat violence between the,

the military which is trying to use force to reassert as control versus a nation wide movement or resistance against them. and so the international community has to get into this. they have to play their pardon. this is why we repeatedly called for action at the un security council for an international arms embargo against myanmar military. and why we're calling for decisive sanctions against the both military and their businesses and of various different state enterprises, like the m r o oil and gas enterprise, which is putting money into the coffers of the myanmar military. all right, precarious situation in dade fell roberts and from human rights watch. thanks very much. thank you. oh, the astronauts on the international space station have also taken a bit of a break this holiday season. merry christmas recruit. we're very happy holidays. happy new year from all of expedition. 66. the crew including for nasa astronaut
