Essentially, what people here are saying is they don� t want to live or work under the military any more. Singing translation we only respect our elected president ,. And no one else. If the president wanted the military to take over, then, we would have accepted that, but this coup is not fair so we� re expressing our feelings in a peaceful way. We� re the voice of the little people. Translation | witnessedl the coups in 1962 and 1988. We know about what happens under military takeovers, so we have to do this. If we take to the streets, they will shoot us dead. Under these circumstances, i support this kind of protest. We want the elected leaders back. Translation people dont accept the coup.

Tell us what you are hearing from people in myanmar about this extraordinary week. Thanks, sally. It� s hard not to get a bit emotional seeing and hearing that reportjust now. The situation is that it is quiet but tense. Everyone woke up quiet but tense. Everyone woke up this morning to the news that facebook actually has been blocked, as has messenger. There are unverified reports that perhaps this will last another 72 hours. But beyond that we are not sure. People are finding ways to communicate and get around that barrier. They are using other services orapp they are using other services or app that we can rely on. But ultimately the phone lines have been patchy, the internet has been patchy, the internet has been throttled at various points and, ironically, while the rest of the country goes into a bit of a shut down or a blackout, rhakine state, the internet has been lifted. figs blackout, rhakine state, the internet has been lifted. As we saw in that internet has been lifted. As we saw in that report, internet has been lifted. As we saw in that report, people internet has been lifted. As we saw in that report, people are | saw in that report, people are peacefully protesting to a degree. Is there a concern about what the military might do if the protests continue . Yeah. And we are definitely looking at this with deep concern. The pots and pans, traditionally as a way of making enough noise to drive out the ghosts and the bad spirits in the home. I think this is one really symbolic move of civil disobedience. If people take to the streets there is concern the military has very, very short patients with dissent and they will crackdown, as they have in previous years, specifically in 1988 and in 2007. We don� t want a repeat of this. People have a right to protest the fact that their elected leaders have been taken down by a, you know, right now a constitutional coup stop by the Un Security Council after its meeting, has called for the military in myanmar to step down and allow for democracy to resume. However, without china� s support what difference do you think that will make . I think right now the key is that governments really need to seek immunity and condemn what is going on. They need to go further put in place these measures and act on what their words are saying and thatis what their words are saying and that is to impose targeted tax and is on the military who are responsible and the architects behind this coup and the crimes against humanity that have been committed against so many of the ethnic minority people of myanmar, including the rohingya.

Authorities in south korea have pledged to improve conditions for the country� s 200,000 Migrant Workers after a woman from cambodia was found dead living in a greenhouse in sub zero conditions. Her death is the latest in a series of Human Rights Investigations involving Migrant Workers in the country, most of whom come from southeast asia. Laura bicker reports from seoul. We� re being led through a maze of plastic covered farmland to discover a network of hidden workers. Campaigners here call them modern day slaves. Migrant workers don� t just toil Night And Day in these fields, they must live here too. Inside his shipping container, this worker tells us he came here to provide for his family in cambodia. Endurance for a salary, for money. Like thousands of other legal Migrant Workers, he� s tied to a contract. Translation the hardest thing for workers is that there� s absolutely no freedom of movement, and the workers are bound entirely to the owners. A complete master servant relationship. Nearby, we find a group of young women living in similar conditions. This is their bathroom. About three people will shower, wash, cook in here. It� s like a Container Facility but this is basically where they shower. So this is a bucket and water. For this room, she pays the farmer 150 a month to live here.

We need to face these challenges head on. The Labour Ministry told us they� re already working to reform the so called slave contract, and are investigating all forms of housing. They say they are committed to helping Migrant Workers. With south korea� s population in sharp decline, there� s finally a realisation that not only does this country need these workers, they also need to treat them better. Laura bicker, bbc news seoul.

They now have to return a negative test to be able to get back to the competition. Whatever happens with those tests of course will determine how the next few days are going to go for the competition. It is usually frustrating, notjust for competition. It is usually frustrating, not just for the players and officials but also for tennis fans. Players and officials but also fortennis fans. Remember, for tennis fans.

To stay with us, we have so much more to come was not including all of the latest business news, such as ebay which is one of the latest companies to release their earnings. I was even a moment. I will see you. Hello there. Winter is about to ramp up to another gear by the end of this week, certainly into the weekend. It� ll be turning much colder with the risk of some disruptive snow in places. So for the next few days, it� ll gradually be turning colder for all, and we� ll see increasing snow particularly over the hills in the north. Now for thursday, we� ve still got low pressure close by to the uk, it� s the Weather Front across the north bringing further cloud, outbreaks of rain to northern ireland, much of scotland, Northern England too, and here we� ll see further snow over the scottish hills accumulating and drifting in that strong east southeast wind. Further south, after a bright start to the day, we� ll start to see showery bursts of rain moving up from the south. Here, it� ll tend to be fairly mild, 8 10 celsius, but very cold across the north where we have that snow. Through thursday night, it continues with rain and the snow across scotland significant accumulations over the grampians and the highlands, very wet weather with a risk of flooding. Further south, a drier night to come and clear skies, could see some mist and fog across southern england, and again, a big temperature contrast from north to south. Now the snow continues as we head on into friday and saturday significant accumulations have prompted the met office to issue an Amber Warning for this heavy, incessant snow. And also, some very heavy rain for lower levels could cause some localised flooding so a whole host of issues there. Tends to stay dry across the far south east again, 9 10 celsius, much colder further north where it will also be windy with that drifting snow in the hills. Moving on into the weekend, our area of low pressure sinks a bit further southwards, so it means the rain and the hill snow across Scotland Will Drift into parts of Northern England at times too, so a whole wintry mix here could be disruptive. Further south, quite a bit of cloud around with outbreaks of rain, and temperatures dropping generally across the board. Still cold in the north and a little bit colder for much of england and wales, too. As we head on into sunday, the very cold air across the east pushes southwards right across the uk, and it� ll be very windy, so the wind making it feel even colder 2 3 celsius, some snow pushing into northern and eastern areas which could be disruptive. So turning very cold through this weekend for all areas, with the risk of some disruptive snow for some of us. Hello again. I� m sally bundock. We are now bringing you the top business stories.
