going to blend democracy with any vibrant media in this country we'll have to leave it there tony so a lot from democratic voice of burma thank you for sharing your perspective with us today. thank you. let's get around now some other headlines from around the world european lawmakers have decided to lift the parliamentary immunity of former catalan president carlos bustamante and 2 of his colleagues the 3 who are members of the european parliament he fled to belgium and $27.00 fearing arrest after holding an independence referendum that spain said was illegal and trade is expected to request their extradition. police in mexico city have used tear gas against demonstrators at an international women's day march the government had put up barricades in front of a national palace to contain the protests several police officers and demonstrators were injured in the clashes. hong kong has announced plans to overhaul its elections beijing promoted this plan that's to ensure more quote patriots are in charge additional reforms will target schools in an effort to instill more loyalty to china among younger generations critics say the changes are focused on destroying the pro-democracy movements. it's well dozens of countries are looking to china to rescue them from the covered $1000.00 pandemic that is because the chinese government has pledged to donate nearly half a 1000000000 vaccines worldwide after its failure and handling the initial outbreak of covered 19 beijing is eager to repair its image in the world that seen diplomacy could be the tactic to change the narrative and expand its global influence as debuts chief international editor richard walker reports. in a europe ravaged by covert 19 this is what hope looks like belgrade serbia waiting in line for liberation from the pandemic but these injections are about more than public health they were flown in from china to a presidential welcome chinese state t.v. on hand to capture the moment just the latest part of a massive pandemic rebranding exercise that makes his medical assistants with decision from ation. quite afterwards also to try to spin the debate in a way that many look like a star in china and china was you know the 1st country to report that what's happening here is something that goes well beyond the pandemic and far exceeds the scope of china's official diplomatic missions like here and. it's a much bigger campaign photo lobel influence it's been building up the years now will continue long after the pandemic is over. the most visible driver of this is the belton road initiative a project spanning more than 100 countries that is redrawing the map of china's economic power in a single region in europe chinese fans of poor ring into highway bridges in montenegro a coal fired power plant in bosnia and a giant seaport in greece that may yet become the largest in europe. and you can see the sign. these investments can translate into political influence like at the united nations human rights council where china won a show of support last year for its controversial suppression of freedoms in hong kong 4 out of 5 countries backing china has signed up to belton road. these efforts to shape global perceptions come right from the very top. china's president xi jinping was the opening speaker at this year's virtual davus meeting exuding confidence and positioning beijing as the world's greatest champion of global cooperation and there is a strong desire to show us up here already are you a chinese. too said to give. examples that show why perhaps on the 20th century democracies were cute and useful and good but now for the 21st century vs only systems that are really suitable face the challengers of the century are systems that are closer to the chinese. u.s. president joe biden has made his debut on the world stage founding to push back at that idea saying democracy will and must prevail. and germany's angela merkel says that the west must now engage in this unfolding competition that's up to somebody it's important that it's not only china and russia that are delivering vaccines to developing countries the and fix them stand there isn't 50 it might seem like madness that lining up for a vaccine can mean picking sides in a geo political battle. but that is shaping up to be our new reality a battle for influence and even ideas about nothing less than how to run the world . that story from our chief international editor richard walker and he joins us now for more on this story hi richard you mentioned there in that report that beijing is looking to repair its image why is that so important to china. well so kind of 2 aspects of this really so 1st of all on the outside what we see in the rest of the world you know china has been very keen and this is not a new development now this is been going back many years to position itself increasingly as you know a rising great power a rising superpower even which is a responsible actor in world affairs so it will be doing anything to try to ensure that that image isn't to the 2 tarnished by what has been going on but secondly in many experts really stressed this in particular is channeling then that positive international image back home because of course the overriding priority of the chinese government and the chinese communist party is to remain in power has been in power for over 70 years now there are already expectations of what it wants to do for its 17 or e. in the year 2049 and in order to remain in power it needs to make sure that it keeps delivering economic growth to the chinese people and that it tries to snap out any signs of discontent good could emerge and we saw that in the early stages of the pandemic has it emerged in any mom rings on chinese social media were snuffed out and they think that could be critical of china and of course anything critical in of the international stage is also something that china wants to batten down so whenever for instance there were statements of gratitude by western leaders for any of china's support during the pandemic that it was providing masks last year or vaccines now that is something that china really perhaps is on the other piece of this you mentioned as that with these vaccines china is in a way trying to expand its influence on the global stage you know a lot of people might say well it's just filling a gap that western nations have left open. yeah and i think that would be a totally fair comment to make him an entry look at western vaccination campaign particularly here in europe it's not a pretty sight it's on the one hand domestically governments are under intense pressure to step up the speed of vaccinations but on the other hand would you look at the prioritize ation it is very very heavily in favor of domestic population is rather than the international community that the international program kovacs which is aimed at spreading vaccines around the world has recently announced its 1st allocation of 237000000 vaccines which may sound like a lot but for the entire developing world put that in comparison with the european union which is ordered it's a $2600000000.00 vaccines for the european union member states so of course the developing countries will be looking at that and think it was pretty clear where your priorities are so that really does leave the door wide open as ever china but also russia to be moving their vaccines into kind of gain the prestige that that provides was this something of a risk with china it's vaccines have not been subject to the same transparency the same scientific scrutiny that whether any vaccines or even a russian one has been so if there are health problems down the low road that could be a problem for china our chief international editor richard walker thank you hugh. now congo has suffered years of conflict tracing back to the massive refugee crisis and spillover from the 1904 genocide in rwanda a complex web of armed groups now controls the eastern part of the huge country in central africa it is difficult for outsiders to visit but you gained rare access to rebel held territory our mario miller met one woman who bears the scars of war but still has hope for the future here's the journey our correspondent took to find her . from now on it's what they called no man's land because not the government and also no specific rebel group controls this area that makes it also quite dangerous the right behind me this is where i know most that begins and this is well also how quieting happens on a regular basis. we're on foot the beauty of the landscape cannot distract from the constant fear of kidnap or being caught up in fighting. as soon as we can close the rebel militia sends an escort to take us to their base. one of them is mummify either she joined the militia almost 20 years ago after another group attacked her village the man killed her parents with machetes 6 of them raped her she was just 15 she'd already been married the same group had killed her husband. i felt defeated my life had defeated me i saw what they had done to me and how they killed my family i couldn't continue my life like it had been and this is really so i decided to become a fighter and drive them out. given the chance she'd shoot them on the spot she says when a former teacher began recruiting people to take revenge she joined him many in her group survived similar. it's a militia of traumatized damaged young people. they killed my father they killed everyone in my family that's the only reason i became a fighter. the offer to revenge and survival they control around 20 villages in the area security for food in a deal they say is consensual but we saw local people running in fear from them the idea of consent is complicated for everyone. it's only when we are alone that mama for either says this. i hear that other people run away from the group but i think how can i run i have no one to help me i have no land i have no one who could help me build a life. she would like to trade her gun for the life she had before as a farmer being a she the my ship they are i would have had a good life with my husband one like other people have but that was taken away from me so i did not like that. so. now she pours what hope she has in her children that they will have choices one day. what the neuberger what if god blesses me i could at least give them an education of their blessed at least that i can never get another job so i cannot help them by myself we love to say the . all right let's take a look now at some more headlines protesters scuffled with police in senegal's capital dakar after the opposition leader was released on bail money sancho was arrested last week and accused of rape but he claims that these charges are politically motivated human rights groups say at least 5 people have died during days of violent on grass. a brazilian supreme court judge has a known to the criminal convictions against former president knew that the silver the clearing of the convictions could see lula run in next year's presidential election against the current leader jarboe sonera brazil's prosecutor general says he will appeal the decision governed brazil from 2003 to 2011. at least 98 people have died after a series of powerful explosions in equitorial guinea hundreds more were injured the blasts flattened the military camp in nearby neighborhoods in the largest city on sunday the president has blamed negligence by soldiers responsible for storing explosives. and there's been more demonstrations in paraguay i get for government's handling of the pandemic coronavirus cases have been on the rise since september and reached record levels last month protesters are calling for the resignation of the country's president. and we have some breaking sports news coming in to us now where germany soccer coach joachim loew is going to step down this summer after this year's european championships a year before the scheduled end of his contract that's the breaking news of course we'll bring you more on the story as the details come in to us. now to the prince his wife and what the world is talking about britain's prince harry and his wife meghan have spoken on t.v. about their intense struggles with war a life most of what they had to say to oprah winfrey has shocked the world and very likely buckingham palace to share some of that interview i've advocated for so long for women to use their voice. and then i was silent. were you silent or were you silenced the latter but i knew that if i didn't say it that i would do it and i i just didn't i just didn't want to be alive anymore my biggest concern was history repeating itself when i was about before and on your most occasions very publicly so when i asked the question why did you leave the simplest answer is lack of support and lack of understanding prince harry raised in the palace in a life of privilege literally a prince how you were trapped within the system for the rest of my family all my father my brother they all chopped. let's go to london now did i get moss is following the story forests that the british public has not been able to watch this interview as well what reactions are you seeing there. it's interesting to me there was a snap poll and there were also going to people from what you have seen and heard wasn't appropriate or inappropriate and actually according to that poll almost half of the respondents said it was inappropriate so that chimes in the fits in with the larger picture of the queen is very very popular in the u.k. much more popular for example than harry and meg and it's really a picture of a nation divided into team wins and team magazine team wins they would say it was titled it was whining that they are sitting in a luxury mansion and are talking about authenticity and a new life that they were seeking because they couldn't bear it anymore and then there are those who are saying that's really good on meghan that she has spoken out and that she's not allowing anybody to silence her as a black woman so really polarizing interview one of the most damning allegations in that interview was the accusation of racism in the royal family let's listen to a clip and also concerns and conversations about how dark his skin might be when he's born. what and who who is having that conversation with you. hold it hold up there are several conversations a conversation with you with harry about. how dark your baby is going to be. potentially and what that would mean or look like. they get there must be tremendous pressure now on the queen to publicly address this question of racism in the royal family. can you hear us there is a speck. there is speculation of course that the palace would have to react. harry has made it clear that it wasn't the queen. who allegedly talked about racism but really people are asking whether the palace will react for example the leader of the opposition. the labor party saying that really almost calling for an investigation so really people are wondering if and when the pubs will react if we look at the timing of this do you know what harry and meghan were hoping to achieve with this interview. they would most likely say that they were hoping to set the record straight and they felt that has been so much bad press about maggie and particular that they felt the need to tell the ass side of the story and then there would be others who are saying well they have now created almost a business empire that created a brand. to be fed with in order to stay relevant so again there are 2 sides of that story as well. reporting for us from london thank you. not a sports and tennis returns to the court don't have this week after 14 months out injured roger federer's back hoping to get some much needed fitness as he plans to add to his 20
