program, living in chest deep flood waters? this residential compound in the philippines has remained flooded for 18 years. and that present astronomy of problems for the people calling at home. and why judith training in japan is proving deadly for children. ah, by british manager, welcome to the w news asia. glad you could join us. me and mas military hunter has executed for pro democracy activists, including a former law maker, the hunter ruler said the men were hanged for court. terrorist attacks against innocent civilians this from a government that rights group say has killed more than 2000 civilians since taking power illegally in a cool. last year. the u. n. had warned last month that going ahead with the

executions. the 1st in nearly 50 years, would court violate the right to life, but in the end, those warnings didn't matter. demo that i long oh, here is one of the men executed in myanmar b o z a r t hall was a lawmaker and led several protests against the military junta. oh, he also used music as part of his activism, which got him detained for his hip hop lyrics with me in mars. military sees that he has now been executed along with 3 others. for descent. the military is out of control is not in military anymore. not a political stakeholder anymore. they had a criminal law still, the military took control of me and mar in a cool. since then, the country has descended into chaos. with extrajudicial killings and extreme wilander, such as blowing up villages with land mines. the men executed have been accused of

helping the militia in their fight against the military. it includes a veteran activist, count, men, you as well as 2 others accused of killing a military informant by many believe that this is a tactic to try to install and still more fear in the population. but it's quite unlikely that this is going to be successful, although, although there's quite a lot of anger in the country over 2100 people have already been given by the military. and so many are unlikely to be counted by these recent actions. all the executions of spock international outrage, amnesty international said this, the full men were convicted by a military called in highly secretive and deeply unfair trials. the international community must act immediately, has more than $100.00 people believe to be on death row. after being convicted in similar proceedings, however, the hunter has been killing thousands of people since at stake over. but this is

the 1st time that the country has met it out. capital punishment here since 1988. and joining me now for more from bangkok is deputy isha, director of human rights watch. phil robinson, fill you in special repertoire on human rights immune martin andrews, called the executions a depraved act. and said, these must be a turning point for the international community. will it well, it's a very good point. i. these are outrageous and unacceptable actions by them myanmar, military hunter. and it should be attorney point for the international community. we saw the international committee basically go silent over the past year, dealing with me and mark, ah, they've just all but disappeared. and it just needs to be a new inflection point or real action. not less more statement, but we need to see action on sanctions. we need to see action on our holding the military accountable for its rights abuses. we need to see action on the un

security council moving to have a global arms embargo. all these things are, are issues of the people of myanmar have called for. and this act by the military contest, are trying to intimidate the burmese people. that's exactly what thereafter in it should not be allowed to succeed in it's time for the international committee step up and do something. let's talk about sanction, because you mentioned them the u. s. m e u sanctions have been imposed against a monetary hunter. are they not working? it's, it's far too little and it's, it's not targeting enough of the, the corporations connected with the military. it's not even targeting all the top people in the military. now the reality is they have not inflicted the pain they need to, and particularly they have to go up the immune, myanmar, oil and gas enterprise. they have to go after issues of like, for instance, aviation fuel. these are sort of the, the targeted areas that need to be focused on by sanctions, not just going after the commander's wife, who owns

a jewelry shop somewhere. it's got to be something that's got real teeth and something that is strategic and up to date, we just haven't seen that. more of our trim is that what archon should governs be taking against the hunter afforded to be effective? well, i think they need to stop talking about having asi on leave, the response on the international community. the association of southeast asian nations is just not prepared to deal with this problem. i think what we need to have is a new focus group, a new contact group of key countries, and governments are working on the myanmar issue. we're prepared to take concert of action and try to also round up. some of the countries like australia, south korea, japan and others who have done nothing to step up and tried to pressure the military junta for far to long as it has been the european union, the u. s. canada, and the u. k. and that's simply not enough. this is a global problem, this a global threat security based in the asia region. and now it's time for global action where there is global action. we're witnessing button donation to another

crisis, the ukraine crisis through thing me and i'll will continue to remain in the back home as long as this war continues. well, we're concerned that the, the situation ukraine is drawing all the air out of the room. you know, the reality is that the situation ukraine is very grave and i don't want to take anything away from what's happening in ukraine. but the situation myanmar is working in the, in a constant downward spiral. crimes against humanity being committed across the country. we have a military that is in the dark at the international court of justice for genocide. i dont know how much worse it needs to be in myanmar international. give me the care, the international community has to have the capacity to care about more than one thing at a time. and while the people of ukraine deserve our support, so to the people of myanmar from robinson relieve her for the time being with thank you so much for speaking to us today from robinson, from human rights watch. thank you so much for

away are often unable to because they do not have the means. but our situation here is intense, but there's nothing else we can do, but has a beer living outside the compound is more expensive. here at least most, everything is free. the only things you really need to pay for our electricity and water. but for some like 15 year old joshua, this is home, looked at the elbow. if i get a job, i will stay here. he sais, adding that elsewhere, his chances in life would probably be worse. next to the birthplace of judo, japan, that is the martial law which is also an olympic sport, is facing a crisis. a win at all costs mentality is harming it's youngest lana's. debts among children have been reported in addition to bullying of the hands of cultures, it's pushing many out of the sport raising fears for its future in its traditional
