Hello and welcome if youre watching in the uk or Around The World. Thousands of people have taken to the streets of myanmar� s main city, yangon, to protest against this weeks military coup. They are calling for the release of the elected leader Aung San Suu Kyi and others detained by the army. Its the first big demonstration since the military seized power. The crowds were chanting in favour of democracy, and against what they say is a dictatorship. The authorities have been quick to respond, although there are no reports of any violence yet. Police with riot shields and Barbed Wire Have Set Up barricades to prevent them entering the downtown area. The military, which seized power on monday, has ordered Telecom Companies to block the social media app twitter, following a similar move against facebook earlier this week. Our South East Asia correspondentjonathan head is following the developments. We do not know how much they have been replicated in the rest of the country. We understand there was also a protest in the second main city, mandalay. This one was pretty large, it wasnt spectacularly big, but it was the largest so far. I think you have to understand, people at this stage, there is no obvious leadership, the National League for democracy, the party which was ousted, has had its key leader, Aung San Suu Kyi, held in detention and charged. Other leaders also detained. I do not think there is an overall strategy. People have been, throughout the week, since the coup, finding other ways to show the disapproval of what the military has done, these nightly banging of Pots And Pans and honking of horns. This was the first organised protest. It involved workers coming in from the Industrial West Of Yangon and marching down, led by Young Political activists and then joining up with others, until they were confronted by frankly not very big lines of police but there were a couple of water cannon. It was peaceful, they did not attempt to push their way past police. That protest has now, we believe, dispersed or died down, with the promise they will come back. I think we have to see this as the beginning of people protesting and perhaps testing the water under Military Rule as to how much they will be allowed to do. The difficulty now though is going to be keeping track of what happens from now on, because the internet has not been completely blocked by the authorities but squeezed down to very, very small amounts of internet service. The main Social Media Apps have been blocked. The Telecom Companies have been told to block them, so twitter is down. It is getting harder and harder to get information and material out of myanmar and that will make it much more difficult to monitor what happens from here on. What about Aung San Suu Kyis whereabouts . Is she under house arrest . What sort of state is she in as far as we know . And what about the key reaction of china . Aung san suu kyi, we believe, is staying in her home in naypyitaw under a kind of house arrest. We know she has been charged with this ludicrous case of apparently having illegal walkie talkies. I mean, nobody takes that seriously. It seems they will pursue that. I suppose they may apply other charges to her as well. I think the military is still trying to figure out ways in which they can finish her off. Nobody doubts that is the game plan now. The military complained about the election. Its own party was pretty much wiped out, only got 6 of the seats, so if it is to hold another election and correct what it believes was an unfair election, it is going to have to stop Aung San Suu Kyi from running, and so we expect her to stay in custody. Here in the uk, scientists are warning the government against Easing Lockdown measures too soon, despite the continued roll out of the coronavirus Vaccination Programme. Ministers have said that all over 50s in the uk should be offered the first dose of the vaccine by may. With Infection Rates falling across the country, borisjohnson is Under Pressure from his own mps to set out a road map for lifting restrictions. The Prime Minister has promised to set out his plan to start Easing Measures in england on the 22nd of february. Meanwhile, a leaked Government Document has revealed ministers are looking to make sweeping reforms of the National Health service in england, with a reduced role for private companies. More on that in a moment. First this report from rhaya barton. Nearly 11 Million People have been given theirfirstjab. The government is increasingly confident it will hit its target of offering vaccines to the over 70s, all Front Line Health Workers and the clinically extremely vulnerable by the middle of this month. So now its looking further ahead. My goal is that i want us to be able to offer a vaccine to all over 50s thats priority groups one to nine by may. Theres a lot of things that weve got to get right in order to hit that goal. And, obviously, supply is the most difficult of all of those. But were currently on track for that. Just over 10,971,000 people have now received their first dose of a vaccine. 19,114 new cases of coronavirus were reported in the latest 24 hour period, with a further 1,014 deaths within 28 days of a positive test. How are you doing . The Prime Minister says as the Vaccination Programme intensifies, hell set out a road map later this month for Easing Lockdown restrictions. But hes warned that these are early days, and Infection Rates are still very high. Scientists, too, are urging caution. I totally understand that we want to try to get back to normal. But the real danger is if we relax too rapidly, well get a resurgence and well end up going into another lockdown. So we really need to ease out of this very carefully, so that we dont lose the gains we get from vaccination by allowing people to mix more rapidly and spreading the virus more. You might get a sore arm for a couple of days. In a further boost for the Vaccination Programme, the uks drug regulator says any side effects are mostly mild. My wife has had hers already and she just had a 24 hour soreness. But thats all. And shes perfectly 0k afterwards. So im not concerned. It doesnt hurt and i feel so secure now. The government says it wants to vaccinate 32 Million People by may. But its more reluctant to say when it thinks life will be back to some sort of normality. Rhaya barton, bbc news. Lets get more now on news that borisjohnson is to reverse controversial reforms of the nhs in england with more centralised control. That was reported today in the times. With me is our political correspondent, ben wright. What are these changes . The nhs has been to a huge number of reforms and we are in the middle of a pandemic. Reforms and we are in the middle of a Pandemic Reforms and we are in the middle of a pandemic. Yes, that is why labour said it is probably a pandemic. Yes, that is why labour said it is probably not a pandemic. Yes, that is why labour said it is probably not the a pandemic. Yes, that is why labour said it is probably not the best said it is probably not the best time that huge structural people of the Health Service, in response to these reports. They are not wanting to talk about the detail of this draft that is being reported today, they say wait for the real thing, but they are stressing what we will see when it does emerge is evolution rather than revolution. They say that actually this is part of a continuity of the shape of nhs that were set out by simon stevens, head of the nhs in england, two years ago with his long term plan. More locally integrated services and move away from the gp led commissioning, the patient led choice, the competition which really defined andrews controversial reforms back in 2012, which i think caused an enormous amount of disquiet within the Health Service and there has been a gradual unwinding of moving away from that philosophy in the year since and it looks like that will accelerate as a result of this white paper. Jeremy hunt, a former tory Health Secretary, now chairman of the Health Committee was talking about this morning and said these are the sorts of changes that are needed to deal with an ageing population. Last year was the first year in history where, across the world, there were more over 65s than under fives. So we are all having to deal with this big change in our Health Provision of the growth in older people. What that means is you need a lot more joined up care. Its notjust going into hospital to have your hip replaced, having that sorted out and going home again. Its people who have lots of things that need to be sorted out, who are using the Health Service many times during the course of the year. And the structures need to be improved to make that possible. Does this mean more Centralised Care and more powerfully Health Secretary rather than for the nhs . Big questions are still around social care. ,. ,. , questions are still around social care. ,. ,. , ~ care. They really are. Yes, i think it is about care. They really are. Yes, i think it is about more care. They really are. Yes, i think it is about more locally care. They really are. Yes, i think it is about more locally focused. It is about more locally focused managed care for patients, so integration seems to be the buzz word at the moment, integrating services far better and it does suggest more power in whitehall with the secretary of state, i think there could be a frustration right now in government that they would like more levers to pull when it comes to the delivery of health care and they have seen how that can happen during because of the pandemic and i think they have accelerated their move towards these of reforms, but youre right, there has been a massive focus on a social care during the pandemic and the government promised an overhaul of social care and we have been waiting for years for a sustainable new funding for social care.

Jeremy hunt all the rest of it . That is the question. Jeremy hunt yesterday was saying it would be a huge mistake. Even once you have vaccinated all over 50s, so suddenly release restrictions, because the chances then of a mutant strain of this virus that could not be effective with the current vaccine is very high. The only way to keep a lid on covid in the next few months is if you have a sufficiently low Transmission Rate that you can test and trace it properly and that is what he is urging, but there is a massive political argument going on and there are people within the tory party who are Urging Borisjohnson to release these restrictions as quickly as possible, but at the moment, court and it seems to be the buzzword, the watchword, in number ten.

Tens of thousands of Indian Farmers have blocked major highways across the country as they continue their protests against new agricultural laws. Police have detained dozens of protesters. More than 50,000 Security Personnel have been deployed in and around the capital, delhi. But farmers leaders have said there wont be any road blocks inside the city. It all comes as the farmers have received support from International Figures like the singer rihanna, Climate Change activist Greta Thunberg and meena harris, the niece of us Vice President kamala harris. Their tweets have angered the Indian Government who described it as sensationalism. The government has offered to suspend the laws but the farmers want them to be repealed. Bbcjournalist salman ravi sent in this report from a protest site in haryana, india. Road traffic across india, all major highways, they are being suspended for three hours as farmers took to the streets in protest against the three farm laws enacted by the indian parliament. Farmer organisations say that these laws will actually make way for Corporate Companies into the farm sector. You can see behind me this is the agra Delhi National highway where these farmers have assembled. Theyve stopped traffic, you can see the tractors and trolleys lined up here. For three hours, the farm leaders have been staging protests and addressing farmers from surrounding villages in this area of haryana state, where im standing here at the moment. There have been a series of talks between the government and the Farming Union leaders. But the stalemate continues as no breakthrough could be achieved. The Prime Minister, narendra modi, he reached out to the farmers saying that he was open for dialogue and was just a phone call away. But the farm leaders and the farm organisations say that they will accept nothing short of the repeal of these laws. Salman ravi, bbc news, india. Joining me now is loveena tandon, Foreign Correspondent for india today. Thank you so much forjoining us. Farmers have got a lot of support within india and Around The World, why is the government not backing down .

If i put the Government Point of view, and this is not my point of view, they say that mainly the farmers, we have spoken to the farmers, and they are asking for the law to be repealed and that is one thing that the government says they do not want to do, because if they set a precedent of any law being repealed after it has been passed in parliament, then of course this sets a precedent and then there are so many laws that a various set of people would not be happy with and they could protest likewise. That is there a point of view, they say they are ready for amendments, suspension, but they cannot repeal the law and that is where i feel the deadlock really is. What about the government say they are still going to keep the minimum payments to the farmers, so why is that not enough to protect farmers in the future .

Hello and welcome to dateline london, the programme bringing together bbc expertise with correspondents filing Around The World. Im geeta guru murthy. This week, we heard president bidens new take on us Foreign Policy ending support for the saudi offensive in yemen, a tougher line on russia and a still strong stance against china. The challenges ahead are many. In the last few days alone, we have seen protests crushed and heard deeply unsettling evidence of the Human Capacity for evil. In china, horrifying news emerged of atrocities against the muslim uighurs. In russia, thousands were arrested for protesting in support of alexei navalny. And in myanmar, Aung San Suu Kyi and civilian leaders were put in detention in a military coup. But there is a new leader in the white house, which, for many, is grounds for hope, and across the world we see almost unbelievable acts of individual bravery from those who will not be cowed. With me this week are the china expert isabel hilton, the commissioning editor of the mail on sunday, ian birrell. And here in the studio, at a safe social distance, the bbc� s chief International Correspondent lyse doucet. Welcome to you all. Thank you so much forjoining us.
