a climate of fear in the country that people are afraid to speak out against the military g a clock is paid in protest due to the risk of violence and arrest. been what's like for journalists operating in the country, trying to get that information out to people like you and me. ah, the situation for john, listen, ranma has significantly deteriorated since the military crew journalist's report on the ongoing protest military crackdowns and human rights abuses have full faced harassment, intimidation and violence from the military to jean many has been arrested and some have been subjected to torture. violent that'd be the military hunter has also imposed censorship on the media benning set the news outlets and distributing the flow of information both within the country and to the outside world. these actions by the military has created a dangerous and challenging environment for journalists in myanmar, making it difficult for them to carry out their work safely and impartially. the situation has prompted international concerns by the state of press freedom and the

safety of journalism, the country. it's also prompted sanctions from abroad, but what sort of an impact they actually have been it is difficult to assess the full impact of these sanctions as the situation in man, my rapidly evolving heart ever. it is vitally believe that the sanctions, i've had a significant impact of the country's economy and the financial sector, making it more difficult for the military gym to assess the national financial markets and the during the funding for its operations. the sanctions has also targeted to individuals and companies associated with the military, regina raising their efforts and them from conducting business with individuals and organized variations. they use it and its allies. it is important to know that the sections are one of many tools being used to respond to the crisis. and they are part of a larger international effort to, to start democracy, human rights and the rule of law and the country. and overall it, right. it may take some time to fully assess the impact of the sanctions. they are

seen as an important slap in the blank pressure to the military gene and supporting the people of man mar, in the efforts to restore democracy. that was there anything else that the international community can do as far as putting pressure on me and muslims? ah, the international community can exert diplomatic pressure, impose an economic sanctions provided, managerial aid. and so what submits a site in may on mar, an outside myanmar, exile to address the crisis. it is important to act in a coordinated manner with a research organization that is very important to me. thank you very much for your reporting and for bringing us that update on the situation there in be a mom. thank you. russian forces in east and ukraine have gained ground close tupa mort in an offensive that began 6 months ago. of the a few 1000 residents remain in the city which has been largely destroyed in the siege. ukrainian president,

florida. mister lansky is pressuring its allies to supply fighter jets warning. russia is preparing for a major escalation of the conflict. usable, unknown in that seat. a correspondent in keeps on your family, come talk to us through ukraine's reaction. will it come when it comes to the bottle? tanks, the most ardent issue for your queen now is said, precedence uminski is really urging western allies to speed up deliveries of these tanks. and the question now is whether these tanks will arrive in time for ukraine . defend itself against a major national pencil which is expected in the coming weeks or months. and, you know, ukraine says that needs these tanks badly in order to ramp up. it's all offensive operations, even as bloody fighting continues in the still don't, it's region. we've seen russia really kind of porting in soldiers to capture the city of buck mart. now on the, on the actual fight a chance ukraine says it needs fight to drive like f sixteens in order to kind of boost its own battled air force. the, it's planes a largely from the soviets. it says it needs to better defend its skies. now,

the u. s. has said it will not be delivering the slight jets to ukraine, but the whole period is that the debate on these strips will go the same way as the tanks that we've seen some initial pushback from major lives with that they would have venture coming around. we saw ukrainian defense minister next, next e leslie call yesterday saying that, you know, nearly every weapons demand from ukraine has gone through what he calls a new phase before getting the green light from west on. i live. well, it's been almost 2 months since russian president vladimir putin assigned a ban into law on so called l. g. b, t, propaganda in russia. it prohibits what he calls the promotion of non traditional values. the changes already affected a wide range of books and films with now illegal material, being removed. critic, see this as another step in what the russian government sees as a fight against western values. should this book be bands and you? russian law says yes. if it depicts same sex relationships positively introduced

a month ago, this law criminalizes the positive portrayal of non hetero normative relationships . in advertising films, books and the media, the new legislation is creating unrest amongst publishers, film, distribute as an authors. this library in moscow has already been told to pull quite a few books from it shelves. dockwood, it's your with authentic veronica in our electric catalogue. there are now books with the entry, borrowing is no longer permitted. what if it's unclear why these particular books were selected? unbelievable. albred's. last december, the duma, the russian parliament voted to toughen it's so called gay propaganda law. critics complain that the criteria used to decide whether a certain work breaks the law or too vague. however, the target appears to be clear. it's an attack on what ostensibly western values.

that's how the russian human rights activist, ego catch cough sees it inches up and that this is primarily anti western rhetoric leaky off. he assertion is that the west is imposing certain values on us and that something must be done about that. and the chairman at the state duma has some shop words for the west. new northern america stop forcing alien values upon us. you've already destroyed your own, who knows where it will end eloquence. he'll globin for catch cough. it's no surprise that this legislation has been passed during the russian war on ukraine. which will, is just as you, the timing's obviously not the authorities want to push through their idea that the country is not fighting against ukraine, but against the west as a whole. the u. s. and the u. they're trying to mobilize citizens and to convince them that they are our enemies, gays and lesbians are repeatedly victims of violence in russia. often they are

discriminated against by the state. there is, for example, a ban on l g b t q symbols are holding public assemblies under the rainbow banner, while same sex relationships as such, where decriminalized in russia back in 1993. critics say that the so called gay propaganda law is stoking homophobia in the country. yet as soon as midnight, it sends certain signals and raises the question, how things develop. how will these people be sent to penal colonies at some point or even murdered? who would be wise? the activist eagle catch cough doesn't think that things will get to that point though. but he is certain that the russian government is hell bent on turning back the clock to soviet times. he w most of your chief uri vir shit i found that report. he's been based enrica since d. w was kicked out of russia. i asked him how the kremlin defines what it calls l

g b t q propaganda all the term criteria ban. i indeed vague for what is called in russia, the promotion of non traditional sexual relations. any person who says something positive about love between 2 men or anybody who praises a film in which 2 women kiss may be forced to pay a fine. and anybody who publicly supports a friend who is considering changing gender, for example, is special on social media could end up in court. if a book, for example, presents what is called a distorted idea of the social equivalence of traditional and non traditional, which means hetero and same sex relationships, then this book must disappear because it's supposed to be the so called gay propaganda in russia. how does the law reflect the general mood? would you say among russians towards the l, g, b, t, q? communities? what lagracia is in many ways the society in which of the strong dominate of the week algebraically the community are not necessarily the weakest people in the

society, but often the ones who can go can hardly defend themselves. and of course, they're always of courageous activists who publicly protest violations of human rights. however, their protest often crushed the state doesn't want them to have the same rights as heterosexuals. and for this reason, they state punishes those for public to speak positively about same sex relationships at the same time. and most russians tolerate gays and lesbians by the motto, do what you want with your partner and your home in your bed, but only as long as you remain invisible as gay and lesbian as a society. yeah, exactly, stay out of the way of everybody else. and the government, this isn't the 1st time that this has happened though, there's been other anti gay legislature. it's been past how effective have previous bands been while the previous law was very similar, but it defected to the so called gay propaganda only among kits or the new one has been extended to adults as well as the previous law wasn't used very often because

not very many people dare to praise, same sex relations in russia, but then your affects much more people now, all of those who want to speak their minds about publicly it unsettles to but for example, book publishers or a theater director of who dont know which books they are allowed to print or performances they're allowed to play. ah, just a few days ago the well established st. petersburg theater festival. rainbow changed its name because of the rainbow. colors are a symbol of the algebra to q community. another example cams from all alms can separate whereas culture of colorful pigeons was to be placed on the river bank to make the streets more attractive by the city may. i didn't allow it because he didn't want to see to see the so called gay propaganda. so these are examples that show the impact on this law of rational society and could have lead to fines arrests. while many russia fear that not only the eligibility to community,

but everyone will face far worse consequences even they continue to speak openly against the official line. and because even if this law is not often applied, been it causes anticipatory obedience which can produce even worse results than required by the law. true to them or to better too much than too little overshadow on. those are interesting developments. i think you could say thank you very much. let's take a look now at some other stories, making headlights around half a 1000000 workers have gone on strike of the u. k. teachers and trained drivers are among those walking out, forcing the closure of thousands of schools and bringing rail travel to a standstill. it's the biggest day of industrial action in the u. k. in more than a decade, authorities in australia have recovered a tiny radioactive capsule that fill up a truck in the vast, out back. a huge team swear to 1400 kilometers stretch of highway for nearly a week before discovering it is a it was like finding a needle in

a highlight of folk francis said to the d. r c organizer say, when over a 1000000 warship is attended, it was a joyful celebration with a lot of music involved. we did the people in gala one of the 4 national languages, and he asked the company is to forgive those weapons to stress the importance of love and tolerance to live together as a community. many people here can't actually outside this app or just to get a good position to see the pope with their own eyes. many told us that we're so excited about the paypal visit, the fast since 1985. on friday, the pope, a continuous trip to south dawn, west message will also be about peace and reconciliation. to criticize the international community had grown accustomed to violence in this part of the world, with this trip, his aim is to highlights another neglected crisis. so breaking news coming in the f . b i is conducting a plan search of president biden's beach house in delaware, according to his lawyers. it comes as part of an investigation into the potential

mishandling of classified documents. they've been found in a number of other locations linked to biden, will bring you more on the story as it develops. improved lawmakers have again failed to agree on a plan to bring elections. ford president dina bl jamante cold for early polls to quell unrest. spot by the ousting of her predecessor pedro castillo group has seen deadly protests since the sambo with demonstrators demanding fresh elections. and the buoyancy stant down seems like these are becoming a new, normal imperious capital lima foam was 2 months now. protest this have been taken to the streets almost every day, the demanding new elections and a dissolution of congress since the former president federal castillo was as did last december. second, my only one photo congress is the most responsible for the carols to peruse. going through the congress has the solution in the hands, and they do not want to lose their privileges. they want to cling on to paula this

christy a success of precedent. the now below there has ruled out resigning, however, under mounting pressure from the protest, she recently spoke out in favor of a snap elections. but lawmakers have again failed to approve an early vote that could have ended weeks of unrest. this was already the 3rd time they rejected the proposal so far there's no end to the protests in sight. ah, that they really are going to continue until the end. because we are not going to allow these violations that mrs. deena hath but the corrupt congress on its own little dozens of people have been killed in clashes between security forces and protesters in the past 7 weeks. the demonstrations have also had an impact on peruse economy. road blocks have let to shortages of food, fuel and other basic commodities. president palatez said she will propose constitutional reform if lawmakers, again block early elections. a subsidy race is brewing between

europe and the united states over green in basements. the european commission is released to plant make the e u, a center for clean technology. it's in response to the u. s. as inflation reduction acts there gives tax comes to american made electric cars and bad dreams in which the u says could hurt its economy. the economic transition towards green technology is starting to become a global race. now in august 2022, the u. s. president joe biden signed the us inflation reduction act into law which included $369000000000.00 to fund green technology. americans who by us made electric vehicles get a 7 and a half $1000.00 tax rebate. it prompted major concern in europe of a return to an american 1st policy. and that e u companies would be unfairly muscled out of the u. s. unable to challenge their subsidized american competitors, it has to be simpler. it has to be faster,

and it has to be more predictable. we will therefore propose the net 0 industry act . it will focus on the key technologies for the shift to next net 0. it will speed up permitting, this is one of the major complain when you speak to the business the while europe's already em out. one trillion euros for green investments over the next decade. this new move isn't technically about specific parts of cash. it's by tinkering with you rules which have prevented national governments from giving their own companies a competitive leg up experts like jacob kirk, god say this could result in a split between bigger e u countries with big green industries and smaller ones. we're going to see or not a trade war, but basically france and germany say all of joe biden is doing it. china is doing it. we need to subsidize our industry as well. and preferably,

we in paris and berlin would like to decide what companies get it rather than the european commission. this is, in my opinion, a great danger to the internal market. and i have to say, i foresee pretty titanic battle. you're also hopes to proposals put forward will prevent big global companies from relocating their production to the united states and w's jetpack far that report and told me more about the plans laid out by the european commission. what it was interesting firstly about it is that it's a plan not a proposal. so this is just a sort of idea of what the commission is putting out there. it's not tying itself to any of the issues, what european commission president as live underlying put forward were different aspects to this one. and the big sort of headline thing is changing state aid rules, allowing countries to more easily and more heavily fund their own green businesses in order to compete with those big subsidies that american and chinese companies

are getting. they also want to re purpose some of the money from the use and from the use pandemic recovery funds, 250000000000 euros. european commission president as of on the line said could be sidelined into that some of it was already in march for green investments already, but it looks like they're putting more focus on that. they also want to increase skills and make sure that sort of there's a priority in funding people that are skilled to work in these green transition in industries. and finally, they want to reassess that trade deals with other global partners in order to try and make sure that they're getting the critical materials that they need. for instance, for things like batteries. all of this is in response to a proposal that was put forward by an act that was signed into law. in fact, in august last year by the u. s. president joe biden, where the american started funding their own green industries to the tune of about $369000000000.00 euros that you knows that,

that sort of money could mean that it's companies will be muscled out of the global competition. and that's what this is all about. wednesday is, well he job day organizes hope for better understanding. for women who choose to weigh the garment. in india, muslim students protested for the right to wear a headscarf in their classrooms. the protests in the southern state of karnataka last year began after a government ban. india's supreme court still needs to decide on the matter, but for many muslim students in the country, it's a matter of personal choice. rhythm will been, is getting her muster than communication. and jamie emilia islam jo university in delhi. she started wearing the job about 7 years ago and is one of 3 women in her class who do so. she believes that women across the world, irrespective of their religion, should have the right to choose what they want or don't want to wear rid us as people often stared at her. but that she has gotten used to it. it wasn't something

as well as with rising islam of phobia in india. non kyla says she does not think women read the job because the men in their lives forced them to. they do so because of their faith. and this is their right. but she and donna are both against the forceful imposition of the job. you can obviously, or a lot of the vest in media news, media in general that is always portrayed he job the woman as abreast of boston where he job is often seen as somebody who doesn't have their own opinions. somebody who doesn't have their own agency and who is governed by what the men in the life says, i did, i agree the job she has while to take legal recourse. if somebody she is told to remove her her job. i know a friend of mine who was refused a job offered the condition for the job, was she after to move a job? and unfortunately, she had to leave it. we need to creating through the societies inclusion walk places where every one people from all cultures accepted and all identities. an
