8:11 am
the flash mob just as quickly melted away, glaring the military. you would also come for them more. we can talk now to burmese american journalists, aimen tant, currently based in bangkok, a, these plant executions. they'd be the 1st be carried out in myanmar in over 30 years. why has the military hunter decided to do this now? so it's not absolute clear why they're doing this. i'm, although it is seen as a significant ex escalation by many in the country because although people happen killed in the streets, an interrogation. and this would be the 1st execution since 1988. and i think an important piece of context here is also that that penalties and him are carried out by hangings. and they have been beg, who some image is circulating on the country recently up the gallows in the prison being prepped and analysts have kind of looked at the motives and speculated that
8:12 am
they might be in revenge for killing that the resistance forces have enacted on military forces or show power to their supporters, military supporters who are happen getting killed, who have been sort of in the trenches as well as the country served to balls into war. and there's also the possibility that the hunter is threatening to carry out. the 6 exit houston so that they, if they were to back away from these orders, it could look like they're compromising even though they're actually not that many more pro democracy, activists or on death row in myanmar or more executions expected to follow these. assuming they're carried out it's really difficult to say, i think no one really knows right now if these executions will happen. but if that field does get broken, the, you know, over 3 decades long seal, i think we can expect to see more, especially since they are over a 150 people who have been sentenced since the coo and a before, the coo,
8:13 am
the average annual sentencing was around 10 per year. what has become of the pro democracy movement in myanmar? so i think they're very different segments of the pro democracy movement, although they are all pulling in the same direction. you have the civil service strength, which is still going quite strong. there's over a 100000 civil servants in the country who are currently on strike and not out before the military hunter. but the armed opposition up is also getting more organized and getting stronger here of daily battles in which the military is losing its members. i'm also here or alliances between groups are forming as well as the civilian parallel government um creating more allies and raising more money as the days gone. what about popular support for the military in the country? is that as that grown stronger over the past year, or is it diminishing?
8:14 am
it's difficult to say with absolute certainty, as you know, it's very difficult to get data in the country at the moment. but i think it's important to remember that the military had one less than 15 percent of the open seats in the 2020 election that they decided to not only the results of i'm, but you do see in the our cases where they had cease fires when i think our groups are inside the country that many of these fires have fallen apart. and you also see many of their supporters are being much more white online as well as in the streets . and so, you know, people are at least less openly supportive of the military. and i think it's like quite likely that they've lost quite a large amount of what journalist aim and todd in bangkok. thank you very much for we go just a quick look at our top stories this. our british prime minister of boris johnson is under renewed pressure to resign. after 2 senior ministers quit his cabinet
