>> i'm ali velshi, the news has become this thing where you talk to experts about people, and al jazeera has really tried to talk to people, about their stories. we are not meant to be your first choice for entertainment. we are ment to be your first choice for the news. >> announcer: this is al jazeera. welcome to the al jazeera newshour, live from doha, our global headquarters. coming up in the next 60 minutes - the court in cairo, where egypt's deposed president mohamed morsi is due to face charges of inciting murder. >> a fourth day of protests. riot police scuffle with protesters in venezuela. >> could this be the youngest

prime minister - the 39-year-old tipped to take the tab job >> families separated by the korean war 60 years ago. >> i feel like i am punished because i left them behind. if i see them again i'll feel like i'm reborn. >> egypt's deposed president mohamed morsi arrived at a court in cairo to face charges of espionage and inciting murder. on his last appearance mohamed morsi refused to recognise the legitimacy of the court. 35 others, including former aides and muslim brotherhood leaders stand accused. let's turn to our correspondent who joins us from george town university. thank you for making it on the show. this, of course - there has been a lot of controversy over this trial. in your opinion, is this a show

trial or do you think he will receive a fair trial? >> we haven't seen evidence at all that there are any fair proceedings that are taking place. these are deeply politicized. most of the others are leaders and figures and advisors working in the department. and others who are not. an egyptian academic has been dragged into the charges. it shows the oppressive nature. the violent repress, banning of organization, protests, any dissent, totally repressive atmosphere. it's unlikely there'll be unfair proceedings in this trial or other cases. they are serving to bolster the impression that the military government that stepped in to try to save egypt out of its own

revolution. for those of us unfamiliar with egypt's process, we have seen mohamed morsi in court several times, along with the two accused of similar charges. what is expected to happen today? >> it's only a procedural hearing, it's part of the slow process of getting to the point were there can be airing of evidence. we have not seen any evidence that signals any kind of broad conspiracy between the egyptian government and outside actors. this is more a propaganda ploy to air the accusations without hard evidence, to scare the egyptian people into assuming there was a conspiracy, that egypt's leadership was working with enemies and terrorist organizatio organizatio organizatio organizations. >> the last time we saw him in court he was encaused in a soundproof box, he was yelling,

trying to make his voi heard. he said -- his voice heard. he said he did not recognise the legitimacy of the court. when will his voice be heard? >> i think it certainly doesn't serve the interests of the military or the judiciary at this point in time to have the opportunity, to give the plattform to mohamed morsi or the other muslim brotherhood, to give their side as it were. of course at the same time, because they are not engaging with the charges, given an opportunity to defend themselves - not as of yet they haven't been handed the evidence. the prosecution hasn't made the file against them public. we have not seen attempts to present the muslim brotherhood's leadership or the past president himself with the opportunity to present a statement. the lack of recognition by him shows there's questions about

the nature of the removal of power. >> thank you for your insight and for talking to us. thank you. joining you from our doha headquarters. >> the trial of three al jazeera journalists detained in egypt is due to begin on 20th of february. they are part of 20 people charged and having links to an outlawed group. mohamed fadel fahmy, baher mohamed, and peter greste have been held for 50 days, accused of having ties to the muslim brotherhood. which egypt declared a terrorist organization. abdullah al-shami, has been in custody since last july. he's on his 28th day of a hunger strike of his detention. al jazeera rejects all charges and continues to demand the release of its staff. >> in a note on a web shit, a

shia cleric says he will no longer be involved in parliamentary affairs. alsader has been an opponent of nouri al-maliki. joining us live from bag dat on the phone is the iraqi political analyst. we had been hoping to speak to you live. due to a power cut we can only speak to you on the phone. there was a time when sadr's army wielded power, clashing with u.s. forces. how influential is al-sadr. >> would you repeat the question again? >> yes, of course.

sadr's forces were known to clash with the coalition forces during the war. how much influence does he have in iraq? >> he has a lot of influence, particularly on the shia sector. he is a popular leader, and among shia's leaders. moouk taddar and his people have been involved in the war. he is still that kind of leader that exists and he's opponent to

nouri al-maliki. >> it is difficult to believe that someone so influential and with so much power would actually be willing to step down. how do you think this will change iraq's political landscape? >> i don't believe he will retire from the political act. it's not the first declaration from him in that situation. sadr, i believe, is protesting against something. when he cannot announce that plan clearly he uses this method, like retiring. and i believe he is under great pressure. that leads him to that announcement, the announcement

this morning. i do not believe, and i don't thing that sadr really retired from political acts, for many, many reasons. >> we do know that on his website he had said he wouldn't get involved politically. is seems coinsal that the elections will take place in two months time. is it a coincidence. >> no, absolutely not. i believe the announcement is related to that date. i do think, and i'm not sure, i don't have many secrets about this, but i do thing that he is focussing on the pressure of sadr because of that election. i think that sadr and his people are strong to challenge nouri

al-maliki in the next election. he has many pressures over him and his movement because of that. from iran and other sides, that is what leads him to that announcement this morning. >> thank you very much for your insight. political analyst speaking to us on the phone from baghdad. >> anti-government demonstrators in venezuela fought battles with police. inflated prices and lack of jobs among the issues. there has been support for nicolas maduro. >> singing the national anthem, thousands defied the ban on unauthorised protests and took to the streets in caracas on saturday.

expressing frustration with nicolas maduro, and what they perceive is a crackdown on the opposition. >> translation: we are tired of the government silencing and discarding us. >> anti-riot police formed a line, trying to stop the protesters from advancing. rogs are hurled at the police, and then chaos and confusion. people panicked and scared. they run for cover. >> the situation here conditions to be tense. the police fired tear gas, they dispersed the crowd. the crowd says it will not go. in the distance people have rocks, and are coming towards the police. this was just another fourth day

of in a row of violence in the capital. earlier president nicolas maduro held a rally, tens of thousands of his supporters vowed to suspend him. >> translation: the fascists want to destroy us. we are the majority and will fight for the revolution. >> calling for piece, there was a message for the hardline leader of the opposition, who organised the student marches on wednesday. >> the fugitive from justice, trembling from fear. you fascist coward. hand yourself in. >> both sides continued, refusing to back down. many wandered when he'd return to the streets. >> britain and france blame syria's government after the latest round of peace talks ended in deadlock. >> i'm sorry and apologise to

the syrian people. >> six days of talks failed to find a breakthrough, and both sides agreed to meet again but have not set a date. >> the lack of a political solution in geneva means there'll be no respite. our correspondent stefanie dekker is at the camp and joins us live from there. give us a feeling of among the refugees regarding the failure of the second round of talks. what are they saying to you? >> there's a lot of frustration. we heard mr lakhdar brahimi apologising to the syrian people. a man here told me why are they speaking when people are dying. they should take the tanks off the street, lay down the guns and it should be part of a political process. politics have failed and the reality is the syrian people have suffered. across the border from syria in lebanon, this is how a lot of

people have the rest of what they have left. people have built their lives in syria - they have lost everything. they are trying to shelter from the rain. it gets cold. you see the mountains - that's syria. this is where the people are coming from. let me take you through the kax to give you an idea of what -- through the camp to give you an idea of what it's like. they say the pol terms don't care, and it's about money. this is where three families are putting everything they own. this is handed out by aid agencies. what is interesting is in this camp there are a lot of people displaced inside syria. this is not the first time they had to move, they are desperate and frustrated. this place doesn't have a tent a lady is trying to make some tea, as a heart-breaking scene. when you speak to people, they

are angry. they don't believe in the politicians, it's all about money. and certainly they think no one cares, that they are treated like animals, a lady said, "give me shoes, look at my shoes", they are open toed. let me try to take you down. they are building it up. because they are expecting refugees to come. there is a campaign in yabood. they are expecting more to come. in is how they are starting to build. people tell you this is not comfortable or relief, even though some aid agencies are providing fuel, there's an ambulance here. it's incredible difficult and they just want to go home. >> stefanie dekker there speaking to us from the camp.

>> in ukraine. protesters ended their occupation of city hall. these are the live pictures out of kiev. more protests are expect on sunday. much it is a fortified camp an three months of protest. live to kiev. these are the life pictures out of independence square, i believe. to give you a bit of background, the protest started in november when president viktor yanukovych abandoned plans to sign an agreement. preferring closer trade relations with russia. thousands of people still there braving the cold, standing against president viktor yanukovych and his government. we will take you back to kiev a little later was the story develops. >> still to come on the newshour. >> three months after haiyan

sweeps across tacloban we visit the vulnerable, the children. >> one man's garbage is turned into another man's tv. what about the back street waste? >> and the spanish league. all the goals with andy coming up. >> he's 39 years old and never been elected to public office. the mayor of florence is tipped to become italy's prime minister. rns -- matteo renzi will become the youngest prime minister in history. >> a small group of protesters waits for the prominent politician to arriving, silvio berlusconi. he may have been expelled, but

he's a force to be reckoned with in parliament. >> translation: we express to the president our worry and surprise over the crisis. leading to the proposal of a new government, without hearing a single word about the government's agenda. we are in opposition. ours will be a responsible opposition, as it always has been. >> matteo renzi has never been elected to parliament, but hopes to take over the reins of power and overturn the political institutions. demonstrators from the 5-star movement, founded by the c comedian made their feelings clear. >> just another independent leader. >> matteo renzi is likely to receive a vote of confidence. here, outside the political

circus of rome, you get a different perspective. a sense of alienation. >> this couple had an addition to their family, 5-month-old robert. they do not intend to stay in italy. >> you have the same old politicians in the same place. they work together. maybe he may have a few ideas different from the others, but i don't know. i mean, it's the same school. >> but the hour of anointment for matteo renzi as italy's youngest prime minister is still not at hand. >> well, we go to rome. this is the youngest italian prime minister, and he has not been voted into office. what's the general feeling in the country about him?

>> well, of course, first of all we need to wait until he is confirmed as the next prime minister of italy, and that's what we are doing here, at the presidential palace. the president still needs to make an announcement on whether he believes that matteo renzi will be the next prime minister to replace letta. we spoke to the people in front of the presidential palace and rome. they say "we want to choose our own prime minister." apart from being the youngest next prime minister, he is also the third or will be the third prime minister who comes in office without being elected by the people consecutively. in 2001, silvio berlusconi was replaced by the president. and was led to a point himself.

now, matteo renzi may be. the people just want to vote their own prime minister. that is what letta wanted. he wanted to win the election. his approval rate is strong. first of all he says he needs to change the voting law. as it stands now, it's unconstitutional because ittal yeents vote for their open -- ilialians vote for their own candidate. >> interesting times for italy. >> that report from rome. >> an eemergency vaccination program is under way in northern kenya after a measles outbreak in a camp. the highly contagious disease is thought to have emminated from refugees from south sudan. we have that report from a town bordering the equatorial state

of south sudan. >> this mother buried her son on thursday. he was sick sips an infant. he got measles, it weak eped his immune system he could not fight a pneumonia attack. >> translation: he was my only son. i have no husband. i thought hoo wee be the -- he would be the one to get us out of here. >> sick children have to be guarantee eed inside the camp, and the camp hospital. the outbreak of measles has worsened. >> when you are dealing with a situation where you have many people coming into act. one of the biggest public health concerns is a measles outbreak. the important thing is that we are identify the myselfle cases and are responding to that.

>> duals, 2-year-old twins admitted two weeks ago. the mother noticed the symptoms. >> they got feverish. i started getting red. we have a rash and they were weak. >> now every child under is a years in the camp is targeted in an emergency vaccination. 50,000 children in all. it's an exercise that's going to stem beyond the boundaries of the camp to the kenyan community and to the border of south sudan, where the refugees are coming from. refugees at the border have been screened and vaccinated against polio and measles, they are not clear. they have to be screened for a second time. contaping the spread of the disease is the number one priority. but humanitarian organizations working on this admit that it's

an uphill task. >> well, let's take a look at the weather with everton. what is the weather looking like in africa and the rest of africa. >> the rainy season will take a little while to push up into the rift valley. showers across southern parts of africa. you can see into mozambique. 64mm coming down in 24 hours. nice circulation developing around the mozambique channel. it's a nasty area of low pressure, bring ping intense rain fall in madagascar. there's a big circulation and low pressure. it will make its way further as we go into the next day or so. slowly we are easing towards the western side of the madagascar. we could see some flooding. not too bad across south africa.
