A barricade. How to write begins its capability in vaccination we take a look at the cup and challenges and struggles to get enough troops. So gunshots have been heard in the streets of me and has the military carries out another crackdown on protesters 4 people have reportedly been killed in 3 different cities on saturday despite that demonstrations are continuing dates military takeover in major cities including young go on mandalay lets be expected straight away to tony chang who joins us live from bangkok in neighboring thailand and tony its a protest have been ongoing for what nearly 2 months now in spite of the crackdown thats been happening today. The protests are still continuing to spite the bloodshed that weve seen and the rising death toll which is now top 550. 00 people including 46. 00 children which is a stunning and very disturbing statistic but today weve seen fatalities in mount states where one protester we understand was killed in were another was shot and then money while which seems to have been the most bloody crackdown where 3 people are now understood to have died and whats interesting there is that where in the past weve seen the armed forces rather sort of hiding behind the Police Services the pictures that were seeing from that crackdown just show them in full battle. With their automatic rifles acting against the protesters the Police Actually seem to be standing back there so those attitudes are changing but the protesters are still ongoing there are a large number of people out on the streets in poorer in mandalay into catarrh and young gone and lots of protestors adapting their protest tactics somewhat some of them going out on motorbikes in the major cities so they can disperse quickly when the Security Forces show up others trying to get out early in the morning so they can make their voices heard before the security 1st forces show up but i think were sort of now locked in this rather deadly spiral people determined to show that theyre still unprepared to accept the military coup they want the military to walk back their seizure of the government and yet the Security Services are cracking down harder and harder in every week their tactics become more and more raw indeed the military upping the ante understand why this Internet Services have been cut. Indeed work weve seen those services carter as well in the 1st couple of weeks we saw mobile internet going off yet still an awful lot of information was coming out people were using wife i now we understand many wife i services have been cut back some people are still getting access if they have direct fiber connections at home and its important to remember that the military have been reluctant to cut off all internet which they could do. Because of the importance of those Internet Services for businesses particularly banks but a lot of those have been halted anyway because of the Civil Disobedience Movement and i think the huge amount of information that has been pouring out showing a lot of these abuses of the Security Services beating. Protesters dragging away bodies destroying private property they clearly want that to stop so they have been cutting this back and back and the amount of information were getting is considerably less a lot of our contacts inside myanmar and now some of them we cant contact at all but there is still information filtering out just about and so i think people are doing whatever they can to try and get footage information out to the outside world in the hope that people will be aware of whats happening inside the country or its only thanks for that in bangkok.

Its been a dramatic week of testimony in the trial of a former Police Officer charged with killing george foid a senior Police Officer testified the. Decision to kneel on floyds neck was a totally unnecessary act of deadly force it will and is on the reports now from minneapolis. The end of the 1st week of the derricks jovan murder trial may have lacked the tearful emotion of the previous days but for the defense team it was perhaps the most devastating the jury heard from one of the highest ranking members of the Minneapolis Police force lieutenant Richard Zimmerman a nearly 40 year veteran and a homicide detective he was called on to the scene in the aftermath of floyds arrest and subsequent death to investigate in no Uncertain Terms he condemned show vince use of his knee choke hold on george floyd. What is your. You know your view that use of force. Totally unnecessary what do you mean. Well 1st of all. Pulling him down to the ground. And putting your nguyen a neck for that amount of that amount of time. Is just. Uncalled for. I saw no reason why the officers felt they were in danger if thats what they felt. And thats what they would have to feel to be able to use a kind of force. In an exclusive interview without his ear after the Court Proceedings had been adjourned for the week George Floyds uncle selwyn jones told me the family just wants justice all im doing is setting back just waiting you know just waiting for that day to killed when i hear guilty i dont get to see him at thanksgiving or christmas or hollowing i dont get the city anymore he dont get to see his baby he dont get to do any of the things that hes supposed to be doing because somebody decided that that day he would be judge jury and executioner its extremely rare for Police Officers to testify against one of their own and the dramatic testimony caps a week that saw several witnesses break down in tears in front of the jury while recounting what it was like to watch george floyd. Who do you think is winning this case in the 1st week. Theres no doubt in the 1st week that the government put its best foot forward in one of the things that they did is used video repeatedly and in different ways to emphasize their point because video has that objectivity that no eyewitness is going to have however for many people here in the Africanamerican Community theres still a long way to go in this trial they have control right now were just theyre just whats in their opinion we dont have no control he cant see this judge kill still today they said not guilty he can walk away scot free before the trial will continue on monday and its expected prosecutors will continue to call more witnesses perhaps even the chief of police gabriels on doe aljazeera and yeah police.
