reinstalled so what they have done is they've protested in front of the embassies in yangon the british embassy the u.s. embassy the japanese embassy and the chinese embassy as well as the united nations office so that's been a very pinpointed focus for them and a very sophisticated move by them and that obviously is putting the military on their back foot as well politically but what's interesting within that context you have china and china has stayed with their longtime ally they have a very tight relationship in previous uprisings and previous military dictatorship so china has stayed next to its ally so that is going to be something of a challenge when we move forward with the international community community and how they react to the coup and what they can do against the myanmar government scott either for inside story. it's time now to bring in our guests in yangon we have men who executive director of the institute for peace and security in bangkok we have so long a human rights activist who was involved in the 988 peoples uprising in the law and in kuala lumpur richard welsh an honora

which is playing an important role in showing to mediate between the last few months from the british embassy we've heard from. we see george or as like a sort of a partner a brother came out of the soviet union like they did and they want to see georgia succeed the way they have within the sort of european fold we've also been hearing from nato nato secretary general everyone expressing concern about this believe because they see georgia as a partner or an ally in the region. in a sense as their ally against russia which occupies all controls or has little tree falls on the ground in 2 territories of georgia breakaway regions and so you want your strategically is seen as a as a critical part of the european union for the west and they want to see it succeeds democratically and they say that what's going on at the moment is the opposite of that and it looks as if the country is backsliding. and. somehow come to a result resolution. so it is a chief so more seats in parliament would have to leave by the opposition. and now we have almost a one party state in georgia doesn't look at 1st fruits

british. just like everybody else. if you're another country and you go to an embassy for help, when you go to the embassy, you identifyan american. it would benefit this country if we focus on being american and just human beings in general. >> martha: michael, what do you say to that? >> you know, i think all lives matter is a nice rhetorical device but negates the fact in this country even to this day black lives are not treated equal to white lives. in the last 54 years, it just became legal for a black american and a white american to be married. that shows that this country, while it's come a long way, still has a lot of work to do. certain will i while we want to get to the point that we can say all lives matter in this country, at this moment while we have things like flint michigan, individuals in new orleans left to scramble for themselves during katrina, we've proven that we haven't reached the point. >> martha: i want a quote by martin luther king jr. here up on the screen, if i may. in it, it says "let us be dissatisfied until the day when nobody will shout white power, when nobody will shout black power b
