we'll bring in our guests in just a moment the 1st 100 member falls from bangkok the anti coupe protest in the civil disobedience movement began very soon after that february 1st 2 and what's been interesting about how this is bread across the country and right across myanmar is the groups that have involved themselves in this protest you have different trade unions the aviation workers medical workers teachers and then student unions they've been able to mobilize their people their groups to get out onto the streets and really ramp up those numbers very very quickly now obviously social media has played a role in this and internet connectivity has also because in previous uprisings in myanmar those didn't exist yet so obviously the military maybe has been pushed to their back because of just how quickly and how well these groups have been able to organize themselves and there's been major disruption because civil servants have also joined so a lot of the government workings have really screeched to a halt so the military who is now running the country is obviously having to grapple wit

plenty of information in that report from tony changes with us now live from bangkok i'm wondering as a sort of postscript to that can you tell us about how you got all that information today not only the crackdown on the streets but the choking of internet and communications it's straight out of the me and playbook how has it affected what you've been able to gather. absolutely we found early on in the day that certain areas of myanmar were particularly difficult to contact after the blanket shutdown that was the internet that happened last night as it has done for more than a week now it didn't come on in certain areas like mandalay yang gone seem to be ok dar way in the south also contacts were very tough but people are getting the information out we're also we've got teams on the ground who we're speaking to contacts who've been reporting back to us what has been very difficult is confirming the numbers of faith territories as they've been coming in we've seen very gruesome pictures on social media of the injuries sustained by the protesters in these incidences of live fire. as th

scott hietala has been monitoring developments from bangkok. march about a 1000 people in yangon and there are some of the anti kook protesters on the fringes of that they are obviously not happy with what the message was being sent from the others so there were some scuffles as well there's been some photographs.

so let's get more now from tony who is in the thai capital bangkok is there now a worry that the military could start to crack down much harder on the protesters using more live ammunition. i think that's the concern something that i think many people are worried about outside memo we've seen wall. from the united nations the state department many countries in the e.u. but also particularly within me and mark people have been very aware that as they've gone out on the streets we're now entering the 3rd week since the coup these protests have got bigger and bigger the military we have seen them cracking down but not with the kind of severity i think that many people imagine but yesterday's crackdown was clearly intended the 11th light in the infantry who appear to be behind this crackdown are well known for their return to they've been engaged in various actions and in border areas against ethnic groups particularly against the ring in 2017 when they were notoriously brutal. so they were. away from their base which is just outside yang go on we've also seen footage emerging overnight of so

disobedience campaign nearly 2 weeks ago was caught hyla joins us live now from the thai capital bangkok scott let's talk 1st about ang sang suu chain she was supposed to appear in court yesterday if that didn't happen what's the latest now on how to tension. there and yet it didn't happen on wednesday that was supposed to be for the 1st charge of illegally possessing walkie talkie radios but just the day before another charge was put against her and that was something to do with her out campaigning in november during the election that is was the crux of the military's reason rationale for taking over the government saying that that was fraudulent but they are now citing her for illegally campaigning during covert restrictions so that is the 2nd charge and they said that that hearing is not going to take place until march 1st so presumably we're not to hear anything from the courts in till then but then again daryn you know this is a military judge and they're kind of changing the rules as they go but it's pretty safe to say that they want to keep her in custody as long as possible parti

tony chang is in bangkok for us this sunday monitoring events hi tony let's put this up into the protests and then the military to protest 1st of all the fact that they keep coming out and i've said this to you i've said this to scott had lots of this to so many of our correspondents it is extraordinary the resilience they seem to have. it is absolutely they are 1st thing to the in mandalay where we saw those scenes yes of what appeared to be a sustained crackdown that wasn't just a brief lapse of military discipline looking more of the footage we've seen coming out of the night you can see this was something where the military clearly had a plan you can see the police at the front but they appear to be directed by the military we understand that the 33rd light infantry division and have been operating behind the scenes they are a division which is particularly well known for their brutality they were operating against they were hanger in 2017 have been deployed against other ethnic insurgence and they are notorious there are we've seen lots of footage of households of bullet holes in the

joins us live from the thai capital bangkok scott today's civil disobedience campaign seems to be shaping up what is happening now and where is uncensored. to me is that shipping up like we saw very similar to what we saw on wednesday and that's with this broken car campaign starting the day that's were hundreds of people if not thousands drive their cars onto the streets in central yangon pretend that they're broken down and just park right in the middle to slow things down and then today they also once they did get back in their cars they just drove slowly to further snarled traffic in the middle of yangon they're doing this they say because they want to prevent government workers from getting to work they want this to be a very visual aspect of their civil disobedience campaign and they've been doing that very successfully the last 2 days in yes the largest city the commercial capital yangon but also across the country so that's kind of what they're they've been working on lately and this is what's interesting because once they do that like we saw wednesday in are seeing again today un
