to other crises, but asean has to continue dealing with instability in myanmar.t is quite important now to work out the details. what we have with the five point consensus is the broad strokes of the process, but now the work really starts in terms of who will be the special envoy and who will be the delegation member of the asean delegation to join the envoy? and all of these need to take place in quite quick order. then there is the mention of humanitarian assistance through the asean coordinating center for humanitarian assistance. i believe the center will need to assess the readiness of the equipment they have, the trained personnel they have, so they can hit the ground running for any early assessment once the authorities in myanmar give the agreement that these asean delegations can enter the country. of course, very important, there is an alternative government. that is the government that is representative of the people's desires and aspirations. it is a national unity government. while i do happen to know that the asean countries, some governments have

they have sent the wrong message for asean.oving of people who hold power illegally or unlawfully. 0r illegitimately. the meeting concluded with four demands, all apparently accepted by the myanmar delegation. the leaders said the violence must stop, the negotiations must start between the military and the opposition, for more humanitarian aid channels into myanmar and for a special asean envoy to be appointed. however, a call for political prisoners to be released was dropped from the final communique. translation: it's beyond our expectation, that's not to say | we weren't confident but we did not expect this meeting would go well, our proposals would be accepted. the myanmar general in his response did not reject them. and this is very encouraging progress. officials say the meeting did not confer any formal recognition of the military regime. however, the extraordinary defiance shown by so much of the burmese population presents asean with a crisis it's ill—equipped to address. a member state lurching towards a wider civil

they have sent their wrong message for asean.n that is meeting with people who hold power illegally or unlawfully. asean said it does not confer recognition of the military regime in myanmar. however, the extraordinary defiance shown by so much of the burmese population presents asean with a crisis it is ill—equipped to address. a member state lurching towards a wider civil war and where those in power have used shocking violence to impose their rule. it's a crisis which cries out for a bold and decisive action. something that people in this region have learned never to expect of asean. jonathan head, bbc news, bangkok. regulators in the us have cleared the way for the resumption of the use of the johnson and johnson coronavirus vaccine. distribution of the jab was suspended ten days ago after reports of rare blood clots. david willis reports. so the vote is ten in favour, four opposed, and one abstention. the motion carries. having weighed the evidence, an advisory panel voted to give johnson &johnson a shot in the arm. today, a

asean has obviously _ just walk away at this stage? said look, even though there are people you don't like to talk with sometimes it's important to do so. for example somebody who is taken hostages. in this casejunta has taken 54 million hostages. perhaps further discussion with them to try to free these hostages and relieve this crisis would be helpful. the risk again is the propaganda, that value that they are seeking. they want to be seen as legitimate, of course they are not. that's the risk. if there are private conversations, any kind of engagement that might actually provide us with some help in ending this crisis and it would be welcome. here in the uk the opposition labour party is openly accusing boris johnson of lying over whether he got the funds spent on redecorating his downing street flat. mrjohnson spokesperson rejects us and says he complied with all the rules and met the cost personally. the route follows persistent reports that mr johnston said he was willing to see bodies piled high when discussing covid strategy ba

it sounds as though asean leaders wanted to deliver a rebuke of sorts the general but is there also agiving some credence to the military coup? that was alwa s credence to the military coup? that was always a _ credence to the military coup? that was always a risk. _ credence to the military coup? that was always a risk. it _ credence to the military coup? trust was always a risk. it is when they said they were willing to run and i have to say, both indonesia the host and malaysia, both countries have been pushing for the summit and have taken pains to been pushing for the summit and have ta ken pains to stress been pushing for the summit and have taken pains to stress that they were bringing in... as the commander is the myanmar military, not formally recognise him as head of state of the head of the legitimate government, i think they have tried to fudge this but also is to stress this is not about recognition but is in their mind about having a rare chance to deliver their concerns to him face to face and they're hoping that may have some impact. this man, who has inflicted this ex

. >>> now, the association of southeast asian nations, or asean, is holding a special leaders meeting in indonesia. they're hoping to find a pathway out of the crisis in myanmar. our paula hancocks is tracking all of this for us, joins us now from bangkok. tell us what's expected and also how much pressure is on asean leaders to reject the junta or, you know, push strongly for them to change direction. >> reporter: well, michael, the very fact that this summit is happening is fairly unprecedented for asean. they don't usually get involved in a member state's political situation. but clearly what is happening in myanmar is such a degeneration that they have been pushed by the u.n. and by others to get involved. now, the most controversial part of this is the fact that that junta leader, min aung hlaing, who instigated this february 1st coup and is really the face of this bloody crackdown against people in myanmar has attended or will be attending the summit. he has landed in jakarta, in indonesia, and was greeted on the tarmac there. it has caused controversy. activists are saying he s

for example, asean countries are slow to adopt electric vehicles. they continue to burn forests.on they would pick up many more business opportunities. why isn't public pressure forcing the hand of government? i think that for what you've picked up, coal is definitely still going to be a large part of the energy mix here. although the people here from the respondents we have climate is seen as a very current crisis. in fact climate change is among southeast asian top three security concerns in 2020. also we find that although this survey was taken right in the middle of covid—i9 last year, we are told that the emergencies of climate and covid which are big drivers of concern, people want equal priority to be given to both the climate emergency and the covid emergency. but they feel that domestic governments are ineffectual. over 57% year to feel that government has not been effective. one of the problems is that the government has not been a good communicator of climate science and data and of their own policies to the grassroots level. the uk government says it's hit it's target

the leader general min aung hlaing went to that asean meeting very controversially to exchange viewsenues the first shipment of uk aid has arrived in india so there is some sign of help they are at least. before we go, we've got some incredible pictures of the first supermoon of 2021. it's already been seen in many parts of the world in the last 2a hours. this is how it appeared in istanbul on monday evening, over the city's galata tower at dusk. according to nasa it will peak on tuesday, so if you haven't caught it just yet, there's still time. you watching bbc news. hello again. this month has been a really dry month, particularly across parts of england and wales, where we've just recorded five millimetres of rainfall so far. and that's left the ground completely dried out, desiccated and cracked in places. but there are changes on the way. on monday, we started to see low pressure move in across scotland, and that brought some thicker cloud and finally some rain. and looking at the rainfall amounts that we're expecting through the rest of this week, we'll get around 5—10 millimet

if not asean as a group, because within asean you have many nondemocratic countries. up and exercise leadership, malaysia, singapore, where banks are, or the military puts their money and they have hospitals to which their families go. they can squeeze much more access of the military, their families, their money, and the things they really care about, their prestige, the reputation. they can squeeze that more to get the military to pull back from the brink because otherwise these guys with guns are going to continue on. >> former leader aung san suu kyi was once a darling in the west, seen as pro-democracy, but in recent years she turned more -- she turned differently. she turned to china. china has given thinly veiled support for the military behind the coup. how does that complicate the resolution to the present crisis? do you think that the u.s. viewed her too generously when you were part of the administration? >> aung san suu kyi, people's reassessment of her publicly for the last 75 years or so. i don't think we had any illusions. i knew her pretty well. i met

but the problem is that asean is hopelessly split.essly split. there doesn't seem to be a clear way forward that everyone can get around. the irish prime minister, micheal martin, has warned that northern ireland must not be allowed to "spiral back" into "sectarian murders and political discord". the taoiseach's remarks, made on the 23rd anniversary of the good friday agreement, came after a 12th night of unrest in parts of belfast. 1a police officers were injured. from belfast, charlotte gallagher reports. police come under fire from missiles in a loyalist area of north belfast, as a flag flies at half mast for prince philip nearby. 0nly hours earlier, people here had been urged to stay at home out of respect for the queen. in a nearby nationalist neighbourhood, there were similar scenes too, with offices being pelted with rocks, bottles and petrol bombs. in the loyalist tiger's bay area, a stolen car that had been set on fire is pushed towards the police lines. the violence wasn't as intense and frenzied as on wednesday and thursday

in particular, that is around the summit of asean leaders on monday to remind them that in their viewp of the mps elected in last november's election should be the legitimate government and not the militaryjoint. the leader went to that asean meeting very controversially to exchange views and to discuss some way forward to see if they could find a way out of this terrible conflict.— terrible conflict. indeed, thank you _ terrible conflict. indeed, thank you very _ terrible conflict. indeed, thank you very much - terrible conflict. indeed, - thank you very much indeed, jonathan. coming up with just a moment. by coming up with just a moment. by the lunar light is looking a bit larger—than—life. we will explain. —— why. nothing, it seemed, was too big to withstand the force of the tornado. the extent of the devastation will lead to renewed calls for government help to build better housing. internationally, there have already been protests. sweden says it received no warning of the accident. indeed, the russians at first denied anything had gone wrong. only when radioactivity levels began

there is supposed to be an asean meeting, a special meeting on myanmar on april 20th where there willates about what can possibly be done. but the problem is that asean is hopelessly split. just like the un security council's hopelessly split. there doesn't seem to be a clear way forward the greek prime minister kyriakos mitsotakis has ordered a speedy investigation into the killing of a veteran yorgos karavaz was shot at least six times outside his home in athens. courtney bembridge reports. the wife of yorgos karavaz sits on the sidewalk where her husband was shot multiple times with a silenced weapon by two men on moped. senior police have described the killing is a professional hit. translation: we turned around to see what was happening, the shots could still be heard, and then i saw a man in khaki standing above him, firing repeatedly. his colleagues broke the news during a daily bulletin. translation: it's our own, yorgos karavaz, who our audiences see every day, who all these years has worked in many difficult subjects, that together we have covered our crime reporting. it's v

meanwhile, the junta leader attended the asean summit this weekend, his first international appearanceummit ended with the consensus agreement that the violent crackdowns on protesters must come to an end. but pro-democracy activists tell us that is not nearly good enough. paula hancocks has the details live from bangkok. paula, tell us what this agreement means. is this a concession to the military junta? if. >> well, robyn, what this means is they have agreed on a five-step plan at this point, which is a little more than some were expecting them to do. but what it does not do according to malaysia's ministers is put the blame on the military junta for the violence. the prime minister told reporters that in fact the violence must stop but didn't point out it was the military's fault, saying the leader of the coup believes that the protesters were causing the violence, which clearly is not the case. but what they did do is agree on this five-step plan, which is to end the violence, constructive dialogue. they'll have an envoy for as the other southeast asian nations who will be allowed

there were quite strict about asking asean not to meet with -- it calls, it warns asean that any meetingize the coup. the reaction was surprisingly positive. they found it "encouraging". there is still the matter of whether there is an and insight to the tensions, and the killings itself. there have been murmuring's over the weekend that there has been some continued violence. while it was an encouraging development, they are looking for follow-up to restore democracy and freedom for the country. shery: reporting from singapore. one of hong kong's more prominent activists who fled to the u.k. seeking asylum before the national security law is imposed last year says he is encouraged by the biden administration's multilateral approach. he spoke exclusively from the u.k. with stephen engle. >> i don't think anyone pushed us to for. if you look at the chinese government promising the hong kong people in the 1980's saying we will eventually enjoy democracy and autonomy. hong kong is just asking for humble demands to get the chinese government to do what they have promised. i think that is bas
