*) Martial law imposed in parts of Myanmar city after deadly day Myanmar's ruling junta has declared martial law in two densely populated townships of Yangon city. This comes after security forces killed at least 38 demonstrators on Sunday, the deadliest day of unrest since the military coup on February first. Ousted elected leaders are calling for united resistance to the military regime. *) Syria's brutal war enters its 11th year Syria is marking ten years since the start of a civil war in which over 500-thousand people have lost their lives. The war started with a local uprising on March 15, 2011 in the southern province of Daraa, mostly driven by students. But Bashar al Assad's violent crackdown on the movement soon turned into full scale war, displacing more than 12 million Syrians. *) Netherlands halts use of AstraZeneca Covid-19 vaccine Dutch health officials have suspended the use of AstraZeneca's Covid-19 vaccine for two weeks after several European countries reported "possible side effects".

Taylor Swift won her third album of the year for “Folklore” and Billie Eilish took home record of the year for “Everything I wanted”. "I Can't Breathe" by R&B artist HER won song of the year. It was written in response to Black Lives Matter protests in the US last summer.
