Coming up on sport and 15 minutes. A huge shock, six nations at twickenham for the first time in 38 years. Hello and welcome if youre watching in the uk or around the world. Myanmar has seen the biggest demonstrations yet against last weeks Military Coup. Thousands have marched through the streets of yangon and there have been protests in the capital nippi daw, and also in mandalay. Protestors are demanding the release of the elected leader Aung San Suu Kyi and other members of her party. The military appears to have tried to stifle dissent with an internet blackout. Our South East Asia correspondent Jonathan Head reports five days after the military takeover and people are testing the limits. This group included Factory Workers from the Western Suburbs of yangon. But led by Young Political activists, shouting their condemnation of the new regime and their support for the ousted government. Translation as a citizen l who was born in this country, i cannot accept the unjust takeover by the military. Because of this military dictatorship, many of our lives have been destroyed. We cannot let our future generation meet the same fate. Translation i am really pleased with what i see in these protests. L here people are not paid to come out to protest, these are genuine people. To those who are watching these scenes, we welcome you tojoin us. The crowd grew as it headed towards the Downtown Area of myanmar� s largest city, where a line of police blocked their way. Offering a perfect backdrop for The Hunger Games salute that has become the symbol of popular defiance in this region. Its hard to gauge how much of the country shares this sense of outrage, but it is a fair bet this coup is widely unpopular. The protest was broadcast as it happened on a dozen or more social media pages but the military began shutting down the internet and blocking popular apps so that through the day we watched myanmar slipping back towards the digital dark age of a decade ago. Protests have taken place outside myanmar too. With Aung San Suu Kyi in custody once more, these are painful echoes of a wretched past. Are myanmar� s generals really prepared to return to the bad old days . Perhaps even they do not know what they will do yet after inflicting such a blow to their countrys hopes. Jonathan head, bbc news, bangkok. Tin tar sway is a myanmar analyst based in london. The support for the protests, when i see myself only last night, there was a rumour that came out that she was a rumour that came out that she was released from there, but when the rumours spread, hundreds of people just came out onto the street, they started celebrating. They let off firecrackers, there were clapping their hands and they were clapping their hands and they were so happy to hear the news but sadly, we did not know and tomorrow morning, theyre planning to hold a nationwide protest and people are scared to go out and people we have contacted so far, they do not seem scared of it, we are quite looking forward to going out, and showing support.

Lets turn to the coronavirus now. The new chair of the uks Vaccine Taskforce says he is very optimistic, of meeting the target of offering a first coronavirus jab to all over 50s by may. Almost 11. 5 Million People have now received their firstjab but some, particularly those in minority communities, remain hesitant, as our Community Affairs correspondent, Adina Campbell reports. This Vaccination Hub at the Royal London Hospital has been up and running for almost six weeks and its nonstop, with staff putting jabs into hundreds of arms each day. Any history of problems with bleeding or bruising at all . One of them is martin griffiths, a consultant surgeon, whose dayjob normally involves treating Trauma Victims with severe wounds, but now hes part of the vaccination effort. Hes seen, first hand, the disproportionate impact of coronavirus on people from black, asian and other ethnic minority groups. Theres a lot of anxiety out in the community about coronavirus and the vaccination, about its speed, about whether it works or not and a lot of misinformation on, particularly on social media about that. I think its important that people take the opportunity to ask questions and have their concerns answered by trusted individuals. This Government Video is one way of spreading the Vaccination Message on social media. People from these communities are up to four times more likely to die from coronavirus than white people, but theres growing evidence and research which shows theyre more reluctant to be vaccinated. We have to trust that, you know, the scientists have done what they should be doing, government and everybody has done theirjob correctly and theyve put this out there. Theyve had a lot of misconception, especially within the bangladeshi community. Its more to do with not getting the information in the language that they need it or if theyve got the misconceptions, where they come from. Nhs staff are giving jabs from more than 1500 sites across the country. This is one of the busiest Vaccination Hubs in london and, at the moment, its running twice a week, where up to 700 people a day are given a jab here. And for those still in doubt. We are not authority, we are people as well. We want to help our Community Get better. So, yes, please, ask questions. Well give you the answer and tell you the truth and we can move forward from there. In an effort to get more people vaccinated, the government has now started to publish Ethnicity Data and its hoped these clinics will end up attracting the most hard to reach hesitant communities. Adina campbell, bbc news. Lets look at some of the days other news stories. Egyptian authorities have released a Journalist Working for the Aljazeera Network after more than four years in detention. Mahmoud hussein was detained in december 2016. His case never came to trial. He was accused of spreading false news, joining a banned group and recieving foreign funds charges he denied. Italys populist 5 Star Movement said on saturday that it will wait for Prime Minister designate mario draghi to announce his policies, before deciding whether or not to support him. 5 star is the Largest Party in parliament. It will be difficult for mr draghi to form a government without 5 stars backing. The formal burial has taken place in Northern Iraq of more than one hundred members of the Yazidi Community murdered by the Islamic State group. The ceremony was held in the village of kocho where i s carried out an attempted genocide of the yazidis in 2014. The remains were exhumed and identified from the mass graves where the jihadists had placed their victims. A rare Sumatran Tiger similar to the one shown here has been shot dead after escaping from its enclosure at a zoo in indonesia. Officials said they had tried to tranquilise the animal but had to kill it because of its aggressive behaviour. Sumatran tigers are critically endangered. There are thought to be only about four hundred living in the wild. Thousands of farmers across india have blocked roads to pressure the government to roll back agricultural reforms that have triggered months long protests. More than Fifty Thousand Security Personnel were deployed around delhi. Small farmers object to plans to open up Food Production to big business. 0ur india correspondent, Rajini Vaidyanathan reports. Roadblocks as farmers in cities across india staged a three hour traffic jam. Protests against the farm laws have spread nationwide, protesters say they will not give up until the reforms are appealed. Translation in protest of the laws imposed on us, we are blocking the highways but peacefully. There will be no violence and they will be carried out peacefully. The government says they will leave farmers better off by allowing them to sell direct to big businesses. Farmers fear once big corporations enter the market, price guarantees on crops will eventually disappear. Translation the Modi Government under the pressure of big corporations have brought these farming laws in, our demand is that these laws be repealed because it is notjust bad for farmers, it is harmful for the 1. 3 billion people of our country. As Tens Of Thousands of farmers continue to come in protest, just outside delhi, a high security presence remains in the area. Internet has been shut down at protest sites. Farmers accuse the government of trying to silence them. The Un Human Rights Agency became the latest to comment on the protests, calling on the authorities to protect Peaceful Assembly and expression. It comes after public figures, including rhianna and greta thunberg, tweeted their support for the protests. In response, Indias Foreign Ministry issued an unprecedented statement this week saying sensationalist social media by celebrities and others was neither accurate nor responsible. Despite rounds of talks, both sides are in deadlock. This is the largest challenge facing indias populist Prime Minister, narendra modi. Farm leaders say they will not go home until their demands are met. The headlines on bbc news. Thousands of people take the streets of myanmar, in protest against the Military Coup police set up barbed wire blockades. The chairman of the uks Vaccines Taskforce says, hes confident that Coronavirus Jabs will be offered to everyone over 50 by may.

In a major reform to its state controlled economy, the cuban government is to allow small private businesses to operate in most fields. The Caribbean Island is looking to recover from a devastating economic slump. The non state sector is composed largely of small private businesses. Lets head to havana and speak to our cuba correspondent will grant. Whichjobs have which jobs have now Whichjobs Have now opened up . Which jobs have now opened up . That which obs have now opened up . That is the Whichjobs Have now opened up . tisgt is the strange thing, they have announced that there will be a major opening as youve described there. When they first opened up the economy by the decade ago, they had about 130 or so activities moving into the private sector. Now they say there will be only 130 that will not be at over 2000 that will. In essence, it is a huge step for countries like cuba which controls the production throughout the economy and we do not actually know which sectors they are going to continue to control. I think quite clearly we can say education, anything to do with medicine or the Food Production, the government is very unlikely to let go of for that.

Quite like it in the western hemishere. ,. Sport and for a full round up, from the bbc sport centre, heres lizzie. This will be selected today. Lets put it this way when they won the last five missions tournament. 0ver Last Five missions tournament. Over time i think scotland really had strong back row forwards especially when they sent the ball out but theres nobody there. Then more theres nobody there. Then more recently they had this reputation, almost playing Basketball Style rugby with other creativity and flair and perhaps not enough still. Today will result is a combination of those coming together. They were in control of this match up with were to go. They maintain that intensity throughout the 80 minutes but for coach, that must feel on like a perfect match. Lets hear it now from gregor townsend. Im now from gregor townsend.

Switzerland lagged far behind its neighbours italy, france, and germany becoming one of the last countries in europe to offer women equal political rights. From bern imogen folks reports. Swiss women began demanding the right to vote a century ago. Their neighbours in france, germany and italy succeeded. In switzerland, they had to wait until 1971. Just 50 years ago. Were happy, but its still like. To think that it was just 50 years ago is also, like, kind of shocking. Why did it take so long . In switzerland, all Big Decisions are decided by nationwide vote. In 1959, the men went to the polls to decide if women could join them. The no campaign warned of catastrophic consequences forfamily life. As far as im concerned, i think its against nature. I think its an unnecessary luxury for the state, because womens vote is expressed to their husbands, anyway. One of the arguments not giving the women the right to vote was because their brains are too small. And i think. Yeah, it was one of the arguments. 67 said no to women voting. Yvonne, now 80, was 18 at the time. In the evenings, there was a large manifestation with flares and not even many speeches. It was more of a demonstration of mourning that, again, the women did not achieve what they wanted. And by a large majority. The radical 60s came and went. Swiss women continued to protest. Finally, in 1971, another referendum and finally, a yes. There was a general election later in 1971 and so, after decades of protesting here outside parliament, swiss women could finally vote to put women inside. And they did. Since then, swiss women have continued to campaign, using their vote to get Maternity Leave and equal pay for equal work. I always vote. Ifeel like because i can, i should participate and vote and give my voice. I never missed any of these votations or elections. I always went, and my daughters do the same, so somehow, i taught them that this political right is important for us in switzerland. Switzerland has changed in the last 50 years. In part, thanks to those tireless women who never gave up on their right to have their say. Chinas maiden Space Exploration mission to mars has captured its first fairly close up image of the red planet. And here it is. The Uncrewed Tianwen 1 sent this Black And White image showing geological features including a vast stretch of canyons on the martian surface.
