ah ah ah this is the w my from but then me and my extends a state of emergency by half a year. it further entrenching the ruling military junta as it mocks 2 years since taking power to protest as they just silence. try to show their outrage. russian forces make incremental gains in east and ukraine,

pushing to take more territory in the don't yet region. and focusing on the area around the city of the e. u goes toe to toe with the united states on green subsidies. the european commission lays out a plan to jumpstart eco friendly investments. to counter the u. s. is protection plan. and a 2 of the pope's visit to one of africa's most catholic countries, the democratic republic of congo, huge crowds attend mass in the capital can ah, i'm paid for sewland welcome. mamma's military administration has extended its state of emergency. it could further delay the elections, the hunter had pledged to hold by august. the amount of marking 2 years since military leaders ousted on suit. she's elect a government in a qu, democracy active as to the people across country to stay home in a silent strike,

leaving the streets of young, gone empty. overseas protestors gathered outside me among embassy and thailand, chatting at the military slogans. a muzzle authorities of launch the bloody crack down on protests. is that seem the us and its allies? we impose sanctions on members of the winter and some on is an independent journalist and political analyst who specializes in me and my i asked what 2 years of military rule have done to the country. well, been a since the military crew in myanmar and february, 1st 2021 of the country has gone significant changes in terms of human rights, freedom of expression and civil liberties. the military hunter has been threatened down on protesters and political opponents leading to rights that violence, arbitrarily arrest and torture of those who are seen as defenders. to day, after 2 years, there was no one on the street because of their own safety and only silence and

protest are the answer for the citizens of myanmar. the military track down has also led to the displacement of hundreds of thousands of people with many seeking refuge in dre neighboring countries, particularly thailand and the crew has created a climate of fear in the country that people are afraid to speak out against the military g a piece of paper 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 regime many has been arrested and some have been subjected to torture, violent custody the military hunter has also imposed censorship on the media banning slip and news outlets and distrusting the flow of information, both within the country and 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 journalists in 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 and man, my directed lee evolving how ever it is vitally believed that the sanctions have had a significant impact of the country's economy and the financial sector, making it more difficult for the military gym to assess that the national financial markets and up to the funding for its operations. the sanctions had also targeted to individuals and companies associated with the military, regina raising their assets and them from conducted business with individuals and organized variations. they use it and its allies. it is important to note that the sanctions are one of many tools being used to respond to the crisis and mar and

they are part of a larger international effort to, to start democracy, human rights and the rule of law in the country. and over on the 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, to jean and supporting the people of man mar, in the efforts to restore democracy. but was there anything else that the international community can do as far as putting pressure on me and most leaders ah, the international community can exert diplomatic pressure. impose an economic sanctions, provides monetary an aid and support statements. a site in may on mar, an outside myanmar, exile to address the crisis. it is important to act in a coordinated manner with the 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 the mom. thank you. russian forces in easton, ukraine,

have gained ground close to bad mood in an offensive that began 6 months ago. and a few 1000 residents remain in the city which has been largely destroyed in the siege. after a successful please, the tanks, ukrainian president, lot of miss lensky is now pressuring his allies to supply fighter jets, warning roster is preparing for major escalation of the complete alarm. there's been a correspondent, gen keeps on you found the cad talked us through ukraine's reaction. will it come when it comes to the bottle tanks? the most urgent issue for ukraine now is speed precedence. lensky 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 russian offensive, which is expected in the coming weeks or months. and, you know, ukraine says it 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 pouring in soldiers to capture the city of buck mart. now, on the, on the issue of fight

a chance ukraine says needs fight to drive like f sixteens, in order to kind of boost its own battled air force. that explains the largely, from the soviets. it says it needs to better defend it, skies and on the u. s. has said it will not be delivering the slight chance to ukraine, but the whole peer is of the debate on these strips will go the same way as the tanks that we'll see. some initial pushback from major allies with that they would have venture. the common around we saw ukrainian defense minister next. next e leslie called 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 and i live. it's been almost 2 months since russian president vladimir putin signed 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 a legal material being removed. the russian government sees this as

a fight against western values. should this book be banned? 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, distributors and authors. this library in moscow has already been told to pull quite a few books from it shelves. upward it here with the flick, veronica in our electric catalogue. there are now books with the entry, borrowing is no longer permitted there. what if it's unclear why these particular books were select their own principal albred's. last december, the duma, the russian parliament voted to toughen it 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 of them that this is primarily anti western rhetoric leaky off. the assertion is that the west is imposing certain values on us and that something must be done about that was on 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 to laquisha logan for catch cough. it's no surprise that this legislation has been passed during the russian war on ukraine, which wound his justice. 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 states. there is, for example, a ban on l g b t q symbols, a 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. if a soon the, from united it's uncertain signals and raises the question or how things develop. and that will, these people be sent to penal colony is at some point i or even murdered, for whom it 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. the w moscow bureau chief uri

was shared who found that report? he's been based in reagan since the 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 van, 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 equivalent 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 are the strong dominates of the week eligibility care community are not necessarily the weakest people in the society. but often the ones who can go can hardly defend themselves. i, of course, are always a courageous activist for publicly protest violations of human rights. however, their protest often crushed the state. the 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 was a previous law was very similar, but it affected the so called gay propaganda only among kits are 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 the new affects much more people. now all of those who want to speak their minds about publicly it unsettles but for example, book publishers or theater directors who dont know which books they are allowed to print or performances they're allowed to play. ah, just a few days ago or 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, camps from all alms can seberio. where's culture of colorful pigeons was to be placed on the river bank to make the street 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 of that a 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 if they continue to speak openly against the official line because even if this law is not often applied to ban it causes anticipatory obedience which can produce even worse results than required by the law truth of immortal, better too much than to little overshadow on those or interesting developments. i think you could say thank you very much. let's take a look at some other stories making headlines. the f b, i proven to you as president biden's potential mishandling of classified documents is continuing with a plan search of his beach house in delaware. documents have been found in a number of other locations linked to biden. the president's lawyer says the president has been cooperating with the searches run. half

a 1000000 workers have gone on strike in 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. use ill and is assessing the damage after some of the worst flooding the countries ever seen. residence in the largest city or gland enjoy the waiter stay on record earlier this week or people have been killed in thousands of homes. damage for a subsidy, race is brewing between europe and the united states over green investments, the european commission as released to plan to make the u. s. center for clean technology. it's in response to the u. s. is inflation reduction act that gives tax cuts for american made electric carson batteries and which the e 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 you 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 vomiting. this is one of the major complain when you speak to the business, but while europe's already im out one trillion euros for green investments over the

next decade, this new move isn't technically about specific parts of cash. it's about tinkering with you. rules which have prevented national governments from giving their own companies a competitive leg up experts like jacob kirk, god said 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 are pretty titanic battle. you're also hopes the proposals put forward. will prevent big global companies from relocating their production to the united states. did up his jetpack, filed that report,

and tell me about the plans laid out by the european commission. what it was interesting firstly by to is there is a plan, not a proposal. so this is just a sort of idea of what the commission is putting out there is not tying itself to any of the issues. what european commission president, as live on the lion put forward were different aspects to this one. and the big sort of headline thing is changing state 8 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 well on the line said could besides and into that some of it was already in march. the 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. improved lawmakers have again failed to agree on a plan to bring elections. ford, president tina berg danty cold for early polls to quell unrest. spot by the ousting of her predecessor, pedro castillo ru, has seen deadly protests since december with demonstrators demanding fresh

elections. and the boy gout, his tent, down, seemed like these are becoming a new normal imperious capital lima foam was 2 months now. protest this have been taken to the straits almost every day that demanding new elections and a dissolution of congress since the former president federal castillo was as did last december. is in my old one photo congress is the most responsible for the carols to peruse. going through with congress as a solution in the hands, and they do not want to lose their privileges. they want to cling on to paula. when i lose christie, a success of president thine i belong to, has ruled out resigning. however, under mounting pressure from the protest, she recently spoke out in favor of a snap elections. but law makers 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, that we are going to continue until the end,

because we are not going to allow these violations. that method deena hath, but the corrupt congress on mental net. oh no. does. as 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 blow out there said she will proposed constitutional reform if lawmakers, again block early elections. and the look at some other headlines from around the world. authorities in australia have recovered a tiny radioactive cap, still to fill up a truck in the vast, out back. a huge team swept to 1400 kilometers stretch of highway for nearly a week before discovering it. they say it was like finding a needle in a haystack. to polish ski is have died in an avalanche at a himalayan resorts in indian administered kashmir. more than 20 others ski as were
