That violence shared around the world on social media is drawing growing criticism even from myanmars powerful neighbors. We condemn any use of violence we believe that the rule of law should be privileged we stand for the distribution of democracy in myanmar. We have always believed the Political Prisoners and so did any attempts at dissolving the Current Situation including through death. Row and regional concerns are increasing as 10 ethnic groups as borders through their support behind the anti Coup Movement on saturday that sparked fears of wider conflict on the possibility of a full blown civil war in thailand is representative of the Global Beauty pageant broke down on stage when she proclaimed her support for the protest as they are working on the street. Now shes unable to return home but determined in her support. Because. On the street and im also fighting my way on the understates now i think that if they will not give that we will.

But even these simple shrines are being torn down as the Security Services try to eradicate signs of resistance tony chang 00. 0 right now people are demonstrating in several u. K. Cities against a bill that would give police more powers to break up protests the bill was drafted after the so what Extinction Rebellion environment protests back in 2019 it was that police at a time in noisy limits on rallies even individual demonstrations activists say its designed to suppress dissent existing laws are under new scrutiny after Police Arrested several people at a recent vigil for a magic woman paul brennan is at one of the rallies there in london for us for them we last spoke it was all looking very peaceful but theres really been quite the Police Deployment they were saying that now. The protests started at around midday in hyde park which is about a couple of miles away from here in this congress until now in Parliament Square which is where im standing on the home of Parliament Whitehall they seem to start to move a little bit down whitehall now its been entirely peaceful for the most part of the day apart from about 10 minutes ago 20 about 20 minutes ago when there was a spill and scuffle and then the police came under attack missiles and bottles just on the corner over there and one point in the quite nasty but its largely calmed down now that people have stopped for the throwing things at police but the main grievance there into the bigger issue at stake here is this police and crime bill which the government is trying to push through parliament at the moment still in the lower house and its brought together the whole kaleidoscope of Different Campaign groups from black extension with dahlia to greenpeace all very unhappy that this new legislation if its passed would give the police great suppose to control the way people can protest for example it could set start and finish times on demonstrations it could limit the amount of noise. The demonstrations are allowed to create and that is seen by its critics as being really infringements on Civil Liberties on human rights on peoples rights to dissent from things particularly in the context that we have at the moment the double problem context which is the corona virus pandemic which is a district of peoples ability to mix and mingle and go about about their daily business which businesses and also the birth of what we call center everonn here in london at the start of lot. Of big deal 2 weeks later was broken up many people say quite a 150 by the police and the lot of concern about the way the police are going about its plumping down on the way people are gathering to express what they see as magenta mix concerns about the way the country is being run down. Crowd is a good approach this is still ongoing were going to keep monitoring it if there is need to come but we will be here but at the moment the demonstration is peaceful paul brennan there on the ground for us with all the latest from the streets of london thank you so much for one out egypt is moving some of its royal mummies to a new home the remains of 22 ancient monarchs 18 kings and 4 queens a set to be transferred to cairo has recently inaugurated National Museum of egyptian civilization a socalled golden parade is set to get properly underway in the next hour with film stars dancers and singers a scorching there as well miamis the multimillion dollar ferris procession is expected to help resurrect egypt struggling Tourism Industry and we can now speak to a crime shes the head of the egyptology unit at the American University in cairo and she joins us now from that same weve been seeing lots of pomp and ceremony and celebrity already just over the last half hour is this all kicks off how significant is this not only for egypt but for the study of ancient Human History. Well i think well only know how important it is for the study of ancient Human History a few years from now im sure sociologists will have a field day but certainly for ancient egypt it is quite remarkable because once again age of egypt is center stage and the worlds eyes are upon it and its a very good thing for egyptology on one level because people will this will be able to know more about mummies or actually their interest and egypts economy we hope that people will come and see the mummies the oil money in their new installations in the National Museum of egypt peace by station well in terms of the move i say that they have repaved the road to make it less bumpy and the money is also being transported in a very special vehicles i know you personally were consulted on the process of moving them what other preparations have been made for this today. And i was i was not really come comes out at that point the movie but on the academic content of things but theyve been a lot of conservatives internationally who have been consulted on this and you have been working together to make sure that goes as smoothly as possible and i know that also Security Forces have been involved in this quite intimately to ensure the safety of the broader range of these mummies so were hoping. That all of these precautions will actually work out and the mummies will move from the area into the National Museum of civilization safely but its not the 1st time that theyve moved in kyra that i was going to ask you about that i see many years ago they even had to be classified as sultan fish for Customs Officials to actually even let them into the capitol but this is a reunion of sorts right this is one of the 1st signs of all the display together. This is one of the 1st time but many of them are going to be displayed together as well as with their great goods so in the last display they were separated from their coffins and the baked goods that some of them were found grip so the great advantage here is theyre going to have a bit more space so theyre not going to be all in bunched together in one room but theyre going to be there with them as a group that was found otherwise some of the must separate walls but theyre put flip that coffins arent great goods as well as information can be made see years worth x. Rays so that one can understand and learn about mummies. And as human beings well speaking of human beings they were talking to alfred saying in the last hour he has been working on. A fairy who is a pretty mad at all those centuries ago and i know you have your own favorites can you tell us about him. Ramses the 3rd certainly is exciting because there was a whole text about how he had been there was under the tree and that he might have been murder but the text was a bit wobbly as to whether it actually took place in a clean list assassinated or not but recent work showing. C. T. Scans you can see that those in back to cut across the throat and so he really had been killed and then he had been repaired so that was quite exciting another quite delightful one is francis the 2nd was terribly boehm and he made sure all is involved this made sure that the mummy looked like he did in real life and so with most mummies then theres a sort of get spot that would grant hes the 2nd theres a bone in there they put seeds in there because he had quite a remarkable profile which he has preserved in death as he had in life that thats really interesting well be talking to you much more about that in the next hour or so so we may come that ahead and the egyptology unit at the American University in cairo your insights here on out here thanks for being with us and. Thank you. Well still ahead from here on out as their families grieve for the victims of fridays train crash in taiwan prosecutors made a construction site near the tunnel. And a changing climate to live in south korea and now that Cherry Blossom record for the 2nd year running now.

But. The climate is changing every year for me. So years and decades of talk but little action its all about distraction create confusion to create smoke and mirrors the shocking truth about how the climate debate has been systematically subverted the new oil industry was a main bankroller or opposition Aquatic Campaign against the climate do you think thats a bad thing more choochoo did was to shift absolutely coming soon on aljazeera. The. But again im a star lets remind you of our top stories here this hour millions across europe are set to mark Easter Sunday under new coronavirus restrictions france began its 3rd National Lockdown on saturday and if you return district to measures off to a surge in cases that. At least 5 more people have been killed in myanmar and the latest military crackdown against anti crew protesters gunshots were heard in a number of cities as demonstrations once again took to the streets.

It was like a living hell our carriage was mangled things had fallen off and piled on top of passengers shelves fell on top of me it was dark. The train had crashed into a construction truck that it slid down a hill and onto the track just minutes well with eugene downs and still we only go with what i got hold of a mobile phone and turned on the torch to try to find my husband and children i saw them but there was nothing i could do to get them out so many objects piled on top of them i tried to remove some of the things such as iron bars but there was just too much stuff and when i did a voice kept asking me not to move anything because it hurt him so i just sat still was rescued an hour later president trying when visited a hospital where dozens of the injured are being treated and promised a thorough investigation into the accident as well as Government Support to affected families for you.

Well its been a dramatic week of testimony in the trial of a former u. S. Police officer charged with killing george floyd a Senior Police officer testified that derrick chauvinists decision to kneel on for its neck was a totally unnecessary act of deadly force as on the reports now from minneapolis. The end of the 1st week of the 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 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 vns use of his knee choke hold on george floyd. For the. Time. It is just. Uncalled for. Son 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 sitting 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 me there were any of the things 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 that 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 came through this journey to kill theel 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.

After a decade in the shadows of his progress as a while but presumably his new just democratically elected president. That he was also a historic one for the country it marked with the 1st peaceful transition of power from one civilian government to another. The ceremony was overshadowed by a recent field cool and rising attacks by im groups along its borders factis many here who he will use his experience as former head of both the 40 interior ministries to result listen or less security the most important is security people of new desperate for security 2nd to that is Good Governance and finally equity and justice but above all that they politicalization of governance which is very important we hope the president will appoint the right people in iraq positions devoid of partisanship but some believe that major politics and politicians will limit disability to deliver real change mohamed the hard work begins now it will need to unite a deeply divided nation whose stability is once again threatened by wednesdays failed coup but the president can count on Global Support judging from reactions on the failed School However the biggest challenge to his presidency is not only having to deal with ambitious military officers but also the threat posed by backcourt aman armed groups based in neighboring mali a reality not lost on mr assumes to give his 1st address as president and then run. Something for a long time the criminals of the Islamic State in the greater so hard who are affiliated to dosh almost exclusively attack the defense and Security Forces but for some time theyve begun to attack a village chiefs and then progressively civilians in an indiscriminate manner since last january theyve been carrying out massacres of innocent civilians on a large scale and thereby committing war crimes terrorism is a misfortune for our country.

In northeast asia Cherry Blossoms blooming are a sure sign that spring has sprung this year there is the earliest start to the season on record and scientists are pointing at Climate Change reports now from the korean capital seoul. Its an annual event in northeast asia that heralds the coming of spring and thats been getting earlier each year in tokyo the traditional viewing of the Cherry Blossom coincides with the lifting of pandemic state of emergency restrictions allowing people to take full advantage of the spectacle coming i think that last year i couldnt come here due to the state of emergency so here i am its the earliest the blossom has bloomed here since official records began 70 years ago and historians delving into archives from the ancient capital of kyoto believe its the earliest the bloom has appeared for at least 1200 years of course and i took on your good when i was a High School Student Cherry Blossoms were still blooming around the start of the Academic Year in april i think the timing is getting earlier. The colder Korean Peninsula witness says its blossoming just after japan but not by much a rolling wave of color moving south to north as temperatures climb its the earliest that sol has seen Cherry Blossom since records began 99 years ago and its 3 days sooner than the previous record that was set only last year it coincides with higher than average temperatures and more hours of sunshine the same apparent result of a changing climate is being felt across south korea only the most southerly island of jeju was warm enough to support the growing of subtropical fruit but not any more species like passionfruit are now grown in greenhouses much further north they were nona and areas in which subtropical for. Roots can be grown or expanding towards the southern central and northern parts of the country in japan in recent years the warming climate has meant more devastating summer rains and floods while the Korean Peninsula has suffered from more destructive typhoons the early blossom may portend a change in climate that will bring more extreme weather come the summer months but for now and appearing all the more beautiful given the fragility and transients of its existence the blossom is here to be cherished Robert Bright aljazeera soul.
