indictment from the un's human rights investigator on me and maher who says the new military regime is likely committing crimes against humanity with its deadly crackdown on people protesting last month's coup special repertory tom andrews told the un human rights council that the military junta had murdered at least 70 people and that more than 2000 have been unlawfully detained he is calling for sanctions against the country's military leaders as of this moment credible reports indicate that mean more security forces have murdered at least 70 people that a president those murdered were fathers sons mothers daughters husbands and wives they were educators they were engineers they were students they were many ages but more than half of those murdered were members of generation c. or young people under the age of 25. mattered president their country of me and more is being controlled by a murderous illegal regime its current leadership perpetuated the atrocity crimes that are the focus of the charge of genocide before the international criminal court of justice. that was un special rapporteur on myanmar tom andrews speaking there and his comments followed news that 9 protesters were killed by security forces on thursday leaving more families mourning the loss of loved ones. she has a son is 2 months pregnant and a husband who is determined to join protesters on the streets of me and. he goes to the protest every day even though i asked him not to. i told him there be trouble if something happens because we have a child and another baby on the way. to go and i can't stop him now thought that. food children will be raised without a father or husband chipman food shot dead by security forces at a yangon protest. you know down or any said it's worth dying for now i know he's worried about people not joining the protests. he's so democracy won't return to the country he's worried about democracy now what that has passed away. of the violence isn't slowing down and me and my. peaceful protests are met with the fishes for oppression in what rights group amnesty international is calling the killing spree. more protesters were killed across the country on thursday. the bloodshed not intimidating doors at the demonstrations. my lot you know we protest peacefully but they crack down on us violently it's ok the more they crackdown the stronger the revolution is we will continue until we win something now that. the protests started last month in response to the military seizing power and detaining civilian leader aung sun suu kyi. the ruling you into my den most serious allegations against her to date without evidence they claim suit she took illegal payments of $600000.00 us dollars and gold an m.p. from her party denied the allegations. the military also reiterated that they will remain in power until the new elections are held but haven't offered a date. that isn't good enough for the protesters who are valid to continue their demonstrations matter the cost. and we can speak to an activist now david is joining us from yangon and we're not using his full name in order to protect his identity david we've seen there the risks that people are willing to take to go out onto the streets why is it so important for you to continue protesting. since the start of the revolution we have a real map 2 words victory in this revolution which consist of 3 components the 1st one which is the most important one is civil disobedience movement the 2nd one is peaceful assembly and peaceful protests and the 3rd one is continuous support to legally elected consulate members called c r p h so i we believe these 3 hangs in gallons and we have to keep doing what we are doing and and. it's sort of like. the frustrations the get of the military gets from civil disobedience much movement are being drawn upon the protesters and the more the try to you know so try to pressure us the more they try to harm us the stronger we get and and i think it is also important that we as a public do not fall into the attempt off making this as their normal myanmar normal country under this military region and yet you know the violence is ask a lady we're seeing more and more people dying on the streets are you worried that this road map that you described might not work. i i believe in the rope ma'am and because. inside the country and the atmosphere that we get and there are action are speaking directly to us as it is that they cannot hold on anymore with this civil disobedience movement that's why they are trying to crack is down and they are trying to make us you know to be quiet so that they could pursue ate the stuff we're doing see the back so the harder they try to you know science us the louder we're going to shout out are we not we can't let that happen what about the role of the civilian leader aung san suu kyi here because she's facing new charges that she was illegally given $600000.00 and gold bars by a political ally does she still play a role in your movement how important is she still. there. i think this is a very old playbook of the military which they have been doing since 1962 they forage evidences the create fake cases and so far it has walked for them but this time more important question is whether the world and the country is going to. dignify their are falsely accused cases and the question about our sense of the role model towards us the harder the make. to be free the larger their supporters grew and the larger our admiration and and our hope to get him back is as is clear the clearer it becomes we'll have to leave it there activist david to joining us there from yangon thank you so much thank you. so let's get around to some other stories making news around the world

pandemic health minister again spawn says he expects the pace of vaccination to improve but that still depends on whether enough doses can be delivered fast enough he says 7 percent of germans have now received their 1st dose of the vaccine that's around $6000000.00 people and spawn warned that many challenges still lay ahead. remain serious the case numbers are rising again slowly but they are rising and imitation is us breading will have to brace ourselves for some very challenging weeks which will continue to try to balance the necessary public health measures against the melody we're all

inhabitants over 7 days and it is a strong indicator that is used here in germany to look at the. pandemic and decide on restrictions the list said that the incidence is on the rise especially in young people and also we have seen outbreaks in nursery schools because kids have been started to go back to school now and the effects are being seen he said a lot of this is due to the british variant spreading here in germany and that is putting also more people in hospital and more people in tens of care units he says the way out of this is the vaccine and he says we're already starting to see the effects of the vaccine here in germany with fewer deaths among older people vaccines are supposed to help so what was said about speeding up the pace of the vaccination campaign. yes germany and the government have been criticized for the slow pace of the vaccine but health minister you want to just point out successful things that have happened in the last few months and as we heard earlier 7 percent of the german population has been vaccinated and he has received the 1st those at least and germany has registered the highest daily number of shots being given on a single day and that is progress he expects more vaccine doses to be delivered at least by april also looking at the johnson and johnson shot that was recently approved johnson and johnson deliveries coming in by mid april and german house home doctors g.p.'s are going to start and ministering the vaccine themselves also by mid april and spawn hopes that both these things are going to speed up the vaccine

accuses don't want us security forces of birder ring and persecuting peaceful demonstrators and says they may have committed crimes against humanity. up next the new biden administration wants to make it easier for immigrants to become u.s. citizens that is not the case for immigrants here in europe that is the topic of our debate show to the point stage of. going. to the point of strong opinions so we're position on the international perspective such. as president joe biden wants to reform america's immigration system to make it more compassionate and humane these new applauds the sentiment but it's sticking to its own policy of full truth your whole keeping immigrants out so who's minus to the point. of the next truck on the d.w.i. . what keeps us in shape what makes us sick and how do we stay healthy. my name is dr carson he could i talk to medical experts. watch them at work. and then discuss what you can do to improve your health. state use and let's all try to stay in good shape. in 60 minutes w. . closely . carefully. is soon. to be. discovered. subscribe to the documentary on you tube. joe biden is taking a huge risk the new u.s. president is making reform of america's outdated immigration system one of his key policy goals critics though say any hint of a more humane approach will only trigger a new surge of immigrants heading for america's southern border meanwhile the e.u. is taking a tougher approach one that observers say amounts to keeping migrants and which of europe whatever it costs so long to the point we ask u.s. immigration reform by consultant to fortress europe. thanks very much indeed for joining us here on to the point where my guests here in the studio maria of migration expert from costa rica she says what joe biden can learn from europe is that inclusion needs to be a key element of the narrative also with us is helen posner from the german daily developed he thinks if you want right wing wing populist to rule europe all you have to do is open the book. and a very warm welcome to joseph hutchinson u.s. lawyer and activist his opinion biden's ambitious plans are doomed to fail. in the democratic u.s. senate. so much to talk about i mean let's begin with you as i said joe biden has made reform of america's immigration system one of the central plugs of his politics for the food for years to come now are you surprised i'm not surprised because a lot of oregon nice groups from the civil society aggressors are going to say show us made him go to power today and he showed it to them many of them were going to facial thing. organizing groups which are you know the basis of migrant relations as well so i'm not surprised he only us part of his narrative throughout the campaign i'm just basically surprised that he started his 1st day with gladden which definitely right now who in the future is absolutely but they were not prepared and they're not prepared and we have seen that in being unfolding this in this case that they're not prepared they still plan and they're still working on that ok well they're not prepared in just a 2nd joseph joseph murchison immigration is one of the most diverse shoes in the u.s. one of the most divisive issues in the wilderness i think what makes it so polarizing i think unfortunately that we've let right wing populist control the narrative so you know people don't like data or facts anymore when you look at the data immigration is a net positive for pretty much every society you look at wages increase people do better there is more diversification immigrants generally have either the social capital or just the gumption to common start new businesses so immigration is a net positive but that's like a wonky detail that most people don't understand it's easier to you know resort to this fear and. i want to be very careful to say that i understand the fear right so people are afraid for their security they're afraid for their livelihoods but i think what we need to understand is the people. coming to you know i say europe or united states those are the same things they want they want to be free from that mirror and they want to have the same security want to stand here so what we're lacking is the empathy and really the understanding contextually why these people the people who buy the bike the ministration is going to do it so differently one senior official says quote they're going to restore compassion and order to our immigration system correct the divisive inhumane and immoral policies of the last 4 years so it's all older well donald trump broke the country so there's just a lot to fix. donald trump broke the country. yeah i would i would agree though looking at the numbers of immigration i mean what we're talking about actually didn't go down as much as donald trump promised they would go down so i mean he the worst thing about trump was his rhetorics right and and in many ways he was just continuing what the obama administration sought it i mean fence building that wasn't his invention right obama started that and so by this change the rhetoric right. but how much to really change remains to be seen and what biden saying now is word for word what the european union has been saying all along and you know if you listen to fund a lion or anyone commission president they will you know they'll sign on the dotted line and what on what biden's just said so the question is really what actually happens and it remains for any government they have to control the borders and control who comes in who stays out. what you refer to already has been by this change the rhetoric prevent an ease that you could say to this thing that might be one way of. describing it but it has meant there has been towards the border. absolutely and i agree with you i mean sometimes i mean the change needed to happen from a narrative perspective but there's so much to be done for example it's very important we understand of the 1st day when he entered to the white house he had the leverage if executive orders but there's one executive order regarding the migration protection protocol which was set by trump he said we're going to review it you have never said we're going to change it centrally watch i am very concerned because i actually in today said in the press briefing we heard that they were going. to cop some which is the new chief in come on who's going to take care of their for these issues exactly so. it makes me feel like they're still not aligned with what they're going to say what is the plan what's going to be the what's going to be the plan what's going to be the actions to be unfolding in the thought of the border and we still don't know that so yeah and critics say this is you know there's a pandemic on this is not the time to be revamping the system or tweaking the system would you say this is exactly the time so i would disagree that there's now a surge because he's in office i think there's this natural pressure that pushes people to the united states especially in light of the pandemic what we've realized and you know i'm frankly shocked the united states with their vaccination campaign is doing so well or realizing as you need quick decisive action shocked impressed i'm impressed you. so interested in you you just mentioned roberta jackson it is no jacobson who the woman who's responsible for the biden policies who owned the southern border you know she said what we're trying to do is walk the walk and chew gum at the same time that we're trying to be sort of kind of friendly but saying to people stay away from the border it's not working. for probably not i mean. as you say people are coming. for reasons which are beyond the control of the u.s. government i mean terrible situation venezuela due to the mismanagement of the socialist government there the situation in central america due to again lots of corrupt governments there and gangsterism the situation even in mexico just the drug cartels i mean they killed like something like 10000 people in the last year these are all things that biden can con control of so i would do would agree that people are going to come whatever he says and that's when i think and i say that they're not prepared because when when you have a narrative if there is unifying and telling people that you're going to fix immigration laws and you're going to not be an open borders because it has never been out if but you're going to fix what was done in the past you're essentially not comfy there in that when people in central america were the ones waiting in mexico listening to it with hope so these people it's not like us economic migrants saying like we cannot just wait to go to the embassy before we get to be set to come to europe because of pandemic issues these people are fleeing persecution they are and they're not secured they're there outside with nothing to eat so you cannot tell these people to stay away and wait hold on until we fix something that we create a plan for you so then why the urgency why not think in the narrative from the beginning and promise in people with a lot of hope ok you know my point in recent years tens of thousands of people from central america and mexico have tried to make their way into the u.s. many ending up stranded in refugee camps along the border the trumpet been instruction trying to close the border altogether now and the job leadership slowly beginning to change. they come from honduras venezuela and lots of seeing violence some poverty in their homeland for years many have lived in camps like this in mexico on the border to the. dream destination the u.s. with biden hope and movement every turning to a stalled situation valentijn like sister norma companies small groups across the border. now there is a possibility for a person who is politically persecuted and who fears for their life to have their case reconsidered. and that also means crossing onto american soil where there is sisted by aid organizations meanwhile more families are coming attracted by the prospect of fair treatment but the application process is long. while the us needs migrants as labor force whether these people will receive asylum or residency is far from certain will refugees soon have a chance to stay in the u.s. undivided. postal response to seeing those petitions well i mean i'm from central america this is. important feeling that creates. you can tell us how it is totally and and the thing is yes it will exist and yes they will reform i trust and i believe that this is what is going to happen because i again have so much faith and so much respect towards the organization and grass organization that has pushed this further in the united states so it will eventually happen it just takes so much time and in the meantime for example the kids that are still waiting in the tension centers they call it in a spanish. which is free source you know and so i just want to insist on base in the meantime all basis fixed is the life of humans and it's still in these attentional centers. joseph is an activist i just wonder i saw a sentence this week which i thought was going to interesting because it seems to me to describe. the situation that is a cruel surrealistic when the sentence goes like this to let some people in you need to keep many of those. if you see it as a there's only so much pie and if i have less pie then i'm losing so what we need we need to come to realize that we have the resources to take care of everyone and everyone in the whole way everyone in the whole wide world because we have nowhere else to go if we don't take care of everyone in the whole wide world what are we doing and why are we doing it so we're trapped in this mindset of you know these my little nation state guarding my little resource and i can't do it but we have the technology we understand technology now technology flows across borders we have the capacity to track people moving across borders we don't need we can have these open borders in europe because we have the ability to track people as they're moving across if we can send goods and services and capital cross borders why can't we afford the same to people it's an attractive vision. yet and i don't think the technology is the problem right we we can of course we can track people where they go data protection laws in europe say you can't we even have problem with our covert vaccine tracking device on our mobile phones of people which you know people don't have to have unlike in shall we say china where they're forced to. and i for one i'm in favor of as much individual freedom as possible in europe is not a fortress by the way it is an island of freedom in a sea of unfreedom and i don't want to have to restrict that for instance with the technological devices you're talking about tracking everybody where they going i would prefer to be able to go across to france or to poland tomorrow and nobody knows i'm there and nobody cares and i can do you know unless i start using my credit card or could go on line then and then facebook or whatever no no no you know knows who i am but you know the government isn't following what i'm doing and it's this freedom that i want to protect and i have to balance that against letting in a whole you know i mean how many people can you let in and still keep this freedom it sounds like i'm defending a privilege and i am i'm defending the privilege of freedom. and. i'm very sorry but if the alternative is a literary one in have them in a mosque and see where they're going then no thank you i'd rather not have that george orwellian state i'd rather have the situation we have now. i think if this is happening. and i am reaction actually what i like about what you said is that why are we using this technology in the wrong hands so let me rephrase that migration is our business. not for the right purposes it's a business because technology. companies we've been industry even face recognition it's being in the way of creation for what we know about frontex perhaps we'll talk about that later so my point if there's a european border control organ exactly there's a 1000000000 invest that there's. of money being in best that which basically essentially enables the right wing in a very conservative narrative to continue and controlling us so that will eventually happen in technology it's already being deployed by for duran direction when when we talk about migrants and i want to pick up something that you set the program of fox not the bean. taking into account anymore which is a big problem is that we are not seeing the rest contribute way more than what for example europe is a spending in controlling them but since we don't care about data them that's when technology in this company has to spend much more money in making their business themselves. i'm so glad you pointed out the face recognition technology so the world where you could travel to paris or rome and no one knew where you work that's gone the moment you're at a train station the moment you're at an airport the.
