a new cabinets the latest phase of a landmark agreement to restore peace. and indonesia becomes the latest country to stop using the astra zeneca vaccine because of concerns over side effects. let's begin though with a developing story out of nigeria where there's been another kidnapping gunmen have taken children and teachers from a primary school in the barren inquiry counsel area in northwestern could do in a state says in nigeria's capital a bugger and it seems almost unbelievable really but we're now talking about yet another school kidnapping in nigeria will watch in awe at the stage. well basically gunmen were briefed on motorcycles by the. wait residents are talking about the gunman at least 12 motorcycles went to the school and kidnapped 2 at least 2 members of teaching staff and students who arrived early at the school and then they head off into the bush with them before that they also rustle cows and attacked some villages what we know right now is that one individual one child 6 years old was released by the kidnappers and according to our sources he looked dazed and confused at the moment so he's been reunited with his parents but there is no what so far when the exact number of excuse me and the exact number of students will be taken the government says it's still trying to find out how many of been taken by the gunman and how many run into the bushes and whether or not they have returned home at the moment so that's the situation right now in the remote village of kahuna in berlin and what a local government council area. and a budget thank you very much. i thousands of protesters have turned out across several rebel held city is in syria they're marking 10 years since the start of the country's civil war the conflict has cost $1.00 of the world's worst humanitarian crises more than half of syria's population displaced say in a harder look back at her what began as a peaceful uprising descended into war. this is the birthplace of syria's uprising in 2011 but opposition members call this moment the end of the dream of a democratic country it's 2018 and the government has just recaptured the southern province after 7 years of resistance. i almost had a breakdown after all the sacrifices when they raised the flag we felt stabbed the town had a lot of symbolism for the revolution. it was here where the wall of fear was broken we watched syrians turn against the police state we watched them bury their dead demonstrators who were killed by security forces was i. going. protests spread to other areas in homs tanks were sent to suppress the uprising. the city which became known as the capital of the revolution became a battleground and. the regime forced us to take up arms and turned the uprising into a war it was no longer possible to face guns without screens. there was a siege on the rebel stronghold after months of heavy fighting months later the opposition agreed to leave the area. ashraf was among them he says they had little choice they were trapped without basic supplies running low on ammunition and abandoned by the world. 2 years later and after a 4 year stalemate the opposition was forced to abandon aleppo which weakened them politically. but. i felt broken when i got on the bus i still think about it but the siege was unbearable people were dying either by bombs or hunger. as that is among the millions of internally displaced syrians who live in the opposition controlled north unable and unwilling to live under syrian president bashar assad's rule but he says he fears a ceasefire agreed last year will not hold already hundreds of thousands have been killed millions have been displaced inside and outside the country and there has been no accountability serious conflict is entering its 2nd decade with the majority of its citizens poor and with little hope. we have been forced to give up on our dreams the international community has failed the syrian people there is no reconciliation there is no peace 10 years of war has divided a country and its people sent her there beirut. syria's future is the focus of a united nations security council meeting happening right now u.n. social envoy care pederson is speaking let's listen in on is just school and. they have been displaced into supersize camps or to sleep in the open in old and grow and abandoned houses all knew to be displaced again and again in beijing and freezing snow they have played syria are often only to face further poverty and discrimination or worse. they have been in this spot so stop their lands and homes. they have watched their middle income country dragged back into the development and destitution on such a scale that the taken their a shoes to rebuild they have experienced corruption mismanagement sanctions an economic meltdown 9 in 10 syrians now live in poverty their currency as collapse but savings and livelihoods about parading all the might and their money a minuscule fraction of what it was before the war they have waited for all of queuing for bread them if you would search the pharmacy is for medicines and not on their shelves or from their hearts those lacking essential medical equipment they have faced a comet mine 1000 pandemic with a depleted and devastated health system syrian women face completely late that sex truly violence from all parties and the rise in the early am forced marriage. most syrian children have never lived that they made of war many have gone without food medicine or education or been detained recruited for battle injured or came and every syrian parent must feel anguish that the legacy of this conflict we lost for the lifetime of every a treasured newborn child when i'm president serious meanwhile absurd that those are at sponsible for action that may amount to crimes against humanity a war crimes enjoying near total impunity ordinary syrians have also seen no compromise between incompatible political issues and no real progress in talks between the government and the opposition to recall aside those relations . all syrians have seen that the international community has been divided trapped in gear or political competition called in the wrong computing narrative is an awful focused on supporting one side in the conflict the rural house lot succeeded in helping deliver the syrians as one people promoter so general has called a living nightmare. it was just been listening un special envoy get patterson taking stock of the situation in syria on the 10 year anniversary of the outbreak of the events that led to the civil war he's speaking to the un security council on a fairly grim assessment has to be said is the one he's giving to the security council members let's get more now from it at the markets are james is he is live at the united nations in new york and james the security council is meeting 10 years after this civil war began in syria are they hoping to achieve anything at all with this meeting. sadly the dynamics in the un security council on syria have not changed throughout this war mr patterson has just described how this is now longer than world war one and world war 2 put together the suffering and the misery of the people of syria and i think it's fair to say that the security council itself is a very important part of this story assad is still in office some would doubt he's actually totally in power because obviously he doesn't control the country but would he still be in office if the security council hadn't been as divided as it has remember whenever things are gone to a vote for example accountability sending the crimes in syria to the international criminal court then the u.n. security council has voted and the veto has been used by russia and china whenever they've tried to push for action the veto has been used by russia and china so all they've managed to do is get some negotiations at various stages in the war going and every time they've gone to geneva for talks the talks have become bogged down and it's pretty clear to me that's because the syrian government just tries to delay things it's never been serious about a talks process they're delaying things again with the current talks the current constitutional committee talks that are under way and that's because a presidential election is coming up in syria and i'm sure they're then going to say that the file is closed and the people of syria have spoken but of course it will be as we've seen every time for 51 years it'll be another sham election that keeps the 2nd member of the assad family in the job of president ok james base there live from the u.n. in new york james thank you. members of cabinets in libya's new interim unity governments have been sworn into office in a ceremony into brut it's part of a un backed her for to bring stability ahead of elections into sam years of conflict divided libyan institutions between the internationally recognized governments in the west and a bible administration to the east security will be a major task for the incoming governments let's get more now from a leaked trainer he's in tripoli. which is saying this ceremony the swearing in of the new cabinet represents a breakthrough for libya after so much turmoil in recent years. i think it does represent a breakthrough especially for the united nations' support mission it's been a long and difficult journey for them to bring libya's rival sides together and to finally form and vote in this unity government now 35 the entire cabinet these 35 ministers attended the ceremony and tobruk it was based in the headquarters of the tobruk based parliament and basters attended members of parliament also officials senior officials from the high council of state so i think it's seen as a breakthrough it's also seen by many libyans here as a glimmer of hope that after years of divisions libya's state institutions will finally be unified through this government and now we heard argue he's the speaker of the 2 brigades parliament in a speech say now was a time for libyans to forget the past and begin to move on to a unified country but that's not going to be very easy argument saleh was a strong supporter of khalifa haftar who in 2019 launched a military campaign on the capital on tripoli here and that was extremely devastating to the people here cording to officials over 125000 homes were destroyed hundreds of thousands of people were displaced hundreds of hundreds of civilians were killed so any serious reconciliation reconsideration process it's not going to be easy and it's certainly not and so that that responsibility will lie on the shoulders of this new unity government and just give us a sense more broadly what sort of challenges is this government going to face as it takes up its mandate. well this unity government is only going to be only supposed to be in power until leave the country to elections in december this year many fear that is such a short period of time and there are concerns that elections won't be able to take place in such a short period of time and that's because of a lot of difficult challenges for instance according to the support mission there's over $20000.00 foreign fighters here in libya so this government will be tasked with convincing countries that have forces here for them to leave also the military is divided now there there is a u.n. military track meetings taking place yesterday there are also the joint military commissions also meeting today in the city of sirte discussing. how to mechanisms to remove these foreign fighters there's also a new wave of covert cases in the country over a 1000 cases per day so the government has lots of challenges ahead of it including the reconsideration process and bringing about elections by december so we'll have to wait and see if that's going to be possible but for many libyans it's a historic day and they hope to see the country unified that it is bringing us the very latest from tripoli mothered thank you. lots more still to come here on al-jazeera including facebook make some changes to

myanmar after at least 50 protesters were killed on sunday the war stay of violence in a month and a half long cracks an only answer to movements demonstrators defied martial law on monday where they

an armed protesters were killed with live ammunition some of the protesters there targeted factories financed by china many protesters say the country is supporting the coup global times a chinese state run newspaper said factories were attacked and set on fire by so-called instigators and causing $37000000.00 in damage it prompted the strongest statement yet from china calling the situation very severe and urging myanmar's generals to stop all acts of violence punish the perpetrators and protect the chinese people and companies its large influential neighbor to the north china is by far the largest trading partner with me and maher and is the biggest supplier of arms and military equipment to the tatmadaw me and mars' army. after sunday's violent crackdown and vandalism the judge to announce at least 6 areas in yangon are now under martial law. in smaller groups than on sunday protesters came out again on the streets of mandalay on monday marching against the giant and supporting their democratically elected leaders ousted civilian leader aung sang suu kyi was to have another court hearing on the charges against her including one added last week accusing her of accepting illegal payments but the hearing was pushed back to the go on sunday g.'s g.'s was a jaunt to the new food on this my. p.c. cannot be just could not be conducted this t. today because we have got no internet in the country for the whole country these 6 weeks on the protesters resolve has remained constant. but according to some they've had to increase their willingness to sacrifice. their dirty that could have found the meaning of the tattoo is freedom from fear they threatened us with weapons but our revolution won't win if we have fear so we must get rid of this kind of fear to prevail in our revolution the term revolution now increasingly being used by those out on the streets protesting but it's now also being used by civilian parallel government saying revolution is needed to overturn the coup scott hodler al-jazeera and in asia has become the latest country to delaying easing the astra zeneca coronavirus vaccine over blood clots concerns the drug firm says its review data of more than 17000000 people has been given its vaccine and there's no increased risk thailand's in germany say they'll continuing continue administering the johnson after polls and there were lights over safety concerns also when it came to has the latest from berlin where there think calls for sarson say around the vaccine. members of the european parliament are today discussing variants and vaccines or variants of the virus and then the vaccines that can be used to combat those variance astra zeneca being one of them but the interesting point is certainly here in germany at least many people have been asking questions about its efficacy viewers will recall that for a considerable period of time at the start of the year there was a suggestion from the regulation agency here and in germany which was which approves or not the whichever vaccine can be administered they said no it can't be given to those over 65 that was then rolled back and it was made available to everybody but now you have this scenario where different countries are expressing different issues different problems that they've discovered with this particular vaccine we've heard today from the bavarian prime minister an eminent conservative politician in germany marcus as someone who many people suggest might potentially be a candidate for chancellor in the or in the late summer he said that what we few people need now is certainty they need to know whether this vaccine is safe definitively or not so that a decision can be made about giving vaccines which are safe. facebook has begun labeling posts about covert 19 in an effort to combat misinformation content about vaccines will have labels with facts from the world health organization the tech giant says it will expand its coronavirus awareness efforts so its other platforms including instagram and what sap or simon clarkson associate professor of cellular microbiology he says misinformation around the astra zeneca job could be mitigated if regulators for clearer about their concerns. across social media and in particular facebook is where a lot of people get their news from these days so i think while we have the possibility. of fake news with regards to vaccines appearing on platforms like facebook it's incumbent upon the the owners of that platform to take steps to warn people that what they might be reading isn't necessarily correct we hear. they think that the chance of increased blood clotting after vaccination. blood clots happen in people normally and really the numbers that we have at the moment as far as we know suggest they're no more common in the vaccinated population and they are in the unvaccinated population if if regulators are seeing something unusual a lot of concern they really do need to be a bit more forward a bit more honest about what it is that the the problem that they've they've come up with is they feel bad about asking questions it's ok to ask questions and it's for people like me. and medics and nurses to take splayed why nothing is safe millions of people of had this this vaccine and there is no evidence yet at all for any side effects that are that severe that there is a problem sure some people get this a sore arm after infection that's fairly normal with vaccines but most serious complications there's no evidence they occur any more frequently than they do in the unvaccinated population tens of thousands of people have rallies and marches across australia protesting against the sexual abuse and harassment of women because again japan some cambodia. thank you protestors outside astrologers parliament demanding action of violence against women in recent weeks allegations of right have rocked a struggle in politics prompting a growing number of people to speak about sexual assault and harassment i don't want to go up in the world where women are listened to and i think that we should make a change it was sparked by shocking allegations that form a political stop of britney he was right by a colleague in the defense minister's office. we're here i'm fucking of but we're still having to fight this same stale tired of. the struggle is top floor officer attorney general christian porter is also accused of an historic right dating back 3 decades which he categorically denies police have closed the case but the government is facing growing calls for an independent inquiry we just don't think that it's appropriate that a man who holds the highest floor office in the country can have an untested and also apparently on ridge right allegations sitting out there it makes women feel very unsafe and unsupported allegations of miso jenny and sexism in australia's parliament and nothing new the nation's 1st female prime minister julia gillard called it out in 2012 having but stories of a toxic culture continue it's still very much a bloke's world here a man's world and even if you work in the building as a woman you know are very clearly that you're not in charge of the government says violence against women is a priority and has set up an investigation into workplace culture but many don't believe that goes far enough this isn't just about women in politics many others here have their own story about being harassed or sexually assaulted their calling for their family crying from the top down like the women are treated equally. some are calling this latest movement a struggle is 2nd me to wave stories all too familiar right across the globe. mykola gauge al-jazeera canberra. the chinese capital beijing has
