in the first century. the growing up in the united states i learned that the first amendment is really key to being a good citizen freedom of the challenge is going to be something new for men and women for the resources that are available but it's an al-jazeera story to me is that we just don't tell you what the contours of the story want to know the government is not going to do the one thing the demonstrators want to apologize for what else is there or does we ask the questions so that we can get closer to the truth.

and. also ahead. nearly two thousand people in. the.

demonstrations across the country. ahead of. his opponents. well let's get more on these protests. to talk us through what's been happening at the protest. there were when we first got down to the protest a few hours ago we got there before the novelli supporters were supposed to be arriving and what we found there was that the the the key place in the square pushkin square had already been occupied by proof putin supporters who decided that they were going to come down here and give the other side as it were now when the no valley supporters eventually arrived in considerable numbers thousands and thousands of them there was then a bit of

a standoff between the pro putin and the anti putin sides that was when the police started to do their usual kind of brutal they weighed in with filing says snap squads grab protesters from the streets then pull them out bundle them into cars limits them into police wagons the latest information that we have from o.b.d. info which is an independent monitoring group is that across the country by thirteen g.m.t. six hundred people had already been detained and they'll probably be some more to come yes very we have been looking at those pictures this afternoon we have seen these protests before organized by alexi vali what should we be looking out for with today's protests. well you know the valley star rose basically jury in the last significant round of anti-government

protests which was about six years ago two thousand and seven two thousand and twelve that was when values first burst onto the scene and it's interesting to compare what's going on now in russia with that protest movement which was basically leading up to putin's third presidential term now we have a protest movement leading up to putin's fourth presidential and comparing the two tells us that things have changed considerably in the aftermath of two thousand and eleven two thousand and twelve putin was shaken his popularity had fallen and he decided that the way that he was going to respond to those rallies was to crackdown on protests crackdown on protesters by jailing them making it harder and harder for them to come out to the streets and also tighten his control over the media and the internet and made various tweaks to the electoral system well he's won the election again and he's going to be doing his fourth presidential i think now only has to

think quite hard about how he's going to keep momentum going for the next six years and putin i think is probably unless things change significantly going to be feeling that he's in a much more comfortable position as the country's president as he was more much more comfortable now than he was six years ago or thank you very much for that finale that's for chalons with the latest live in moscow thank you and the between babiche is a russian political analyst and he says now vali a line of a lot be able to bring change in russia. i think basically he is five years hold less because are now in his main problem is that he is a lawyer wolf he is not a team player are unfortunately he quarrelled with just a mild all the liberal opposition leaders during the last three months he managed to spoil his relations with seniors some junk his world hears you asians with the

yard worker and it's leader of the a few years ago lol i don't think you will be able to achieve mimes because he's message is very simplistic i would say he's talking about eruption which is a real problem by and he doesn't suggest a war that your program and he doesn't have elyse in this situation i think he was just trying to kind of send a message about himself that he is still there that there are young people who are ready to go to the streets and spend a few days or bar us in a police precinct or are that is a message which i think is just not very serious let's move on to other news now and thousands of people are marching through the streets of paris to protest against president amanda macron a rally marking his first year in power has been somewhat sarcastically labeled a party from macron has been facing opposition to his plans to reform labor laws and pension schemes the un is one of disease outbreaks caused by severe flooding

and kenya at least one hundred and twelve people have been killed and more than two hundred sixty thousand displaced over the past two months the red cross says it doesn't have enough monday money to fund its emergency operations well anderson it has been traveling with one of the relief teams. i do apologize i don't think we have that report just yet so let's move on to other news from now to hawaii and hawaii's big island which is dealing with a major volcanic eruption has been hurt by a series of strong earthquakes nearly two thousand people have been forced to leave their homes as lava flows and toxic gas threaten residential areas many of the homes has the latest. for five days why is big island has been rattled by hundreds of earthquakes and then three major trimmers over a three hour period the biggest a magnitude six point nine. the

seismic activity began on monday when the crater floor of the pool or a volcanic cone on the cooler way it started to collapse lava flowed into newly created underground chambers that along with rocks and toxic gas is now being spewed into the year and coming up through the years. be the stay active for a short period. kilo wears one of the world's most deck to volcanoes vulcanologists say it was never a question of when but where the volcano might erupt what's different this time is that a new fissure is a period much farther down the mountain the challenge with this activity is the fact that it occurred in a populated area now the question is will it stay in that area will it move to another part of the part of the volcano and how long will it last. officials

ordered at least seven thousand five hundred people to leave their homes including everyone in the town of puff or we have a new one. and it is due to the best route. to go through this residence of familiar with the dangers four years ago killer ways lava flow stopped just short of the town. experts say the gases and highly toxic but while the lever is dangerous it's slow moving that means people will have time to escape even for those who did get close to it that buildings can't be moved and homes have already been destroyed the killer way has been erupting on and off for thirty five years experts say it's difficult to predict how long this eruption will last but they're insisting they will do whatever is necessary no measure the disruption to keep people safe made in honde out to sea or. we're going to go back to kenya now where the u.n. is one of disease outbreaks caused by severe flooding there are cost fondant

anderson has been traveling with a relief team has this report. the situation isn't getting any easier in fact it's getting worse the kenya red cross warning now that they can only reach a quarter of the fifty thousand people who are marooned cut off completely and in a bad situation we set out with one of their teams to find one area where people needed help pretty desperately. it looks like a vast lake yet this is the river town or it's consumed villages and lives. we changed course away from the river going deep into the bush. the mango trees full of fruit hardy. the birds make good out of most

situations but any illusion of normality is lost when you look through the clearing . was a seasonal stream has turned into this. the forces of nature and the water line that still rising. on the shoreline ahead people who have walked from higher land they've waited days for help to arrive no cheers no shouts no pushing but the need here is deep seated. it's not everywhere in the world where you'd find people so calm in a situation like this when they've been marooned for several days with absolutely nothing coming in until now but there are pockets of anger. here that i have been here for the days waiting for the help i haven't received anything. and wheat in it i need it now. he has all the right saying.

i can also help way i can't. because we've done what we can for now and we are asking more people to come and help us so that we can reach more people. and even some of those getting their rations of food and enough aid to give them basic shelter feel it's not enough this mother of eight is setting out on a two hour walk back to where she's living rough her home has been lost along with her livestock i don't i'm somewhat that i was and i did i was even though i'm scared about my children they're hungry they're exposed to the rains and because of that we're likely to fall sick for those left behind you can see it from their expressions they need help now along with so many others and even more remote places than this. here in the neighboring county of khalifi it's the reverse of baccy another major river that's causing all of the hardship right now people are leaving the school here so many schools have been used to shelter but now it is

nature that's forcing these people away it's actually the government because they want these schools to reopen there are seven them seven of them here in gary she alone many others are also being used they've got much better facilities obviously water and sanitation but know these people are going through a camp they're having to move again they're not really complaining that fact that their children need education but everyone is really getting to terms. trying to get to terms of the fact that this crisis isn't going to be over within days in mind will be over within months because there could be a lasting effect so many crops lost so many livelihoods lost they have a drought now they have another extreme to long range to wrench will rain and the forecast is suggesting the rains could go right into june that means crops will be totally destroyed it would have been the planting season and then you're into what

could be another drought afterwards well these people are in a situation where there should be an abundance of crude here but their whole livelihoods their whole lives are being threatened. to yemen our government source has told the united arab emirates has agreed to withdraw its soldiers from its island and of avian sea but it's not clear when that will happen saudi arabia sent a delegation to the quarter island after amorality soldiers took over the key locations there this week the yemeni government and the u.a.e. are formally allies against what the rebels but the u.s. has promoted other separatists in southern yemen at the expense of the government still ahead on the bulletin of more violence and. security forces battle separatist fighters.

but that's not all the mars insights to your mission will also use seismometers like these to measure quakes on the planet and in a first experiment of its kind the mars insight will be trying out new satellite technology called cube sat two briefcase sized satellites will break off from the insight shortly after take off and follow it to mars but stay in orbit while it does its work below if they can still transmit the data back to earth it's thought they could revolutionize satellite use its nasa is first interplanetary mission to be launched from a base other than florida's cape canaveral something that should provide some entertainment for southern californians people in was angeles you know santa barbara and they tell me even down to san diego you should be able to have you know a good show for several minutes as long as the fall there's no clouds in the sky but after saying goodbye the scientists will have to wait six months before insight reaches its target and is able to dig deep into the red planet kristen salumi

eight percent the measures were taken to prevent another economic crisis daniel schwann of reports from. these are nervous times in argentina so government ministers were quick to reassure markets and carmen anxious population their economic policies are on track they said there's nothing to worry about. in the context of a growing economy and with rising employment and less poverty we have an argentina that will keep growing for many years to come but we have never seen such a big drop in public spending. but soothing words are not enough and the argentine central bank took the drastic step of raising its keep borrowing rate to forty percent the third rise in a week it's to boost the base so there's this year has lost fifteen percent of its value against the u.s. dollar that creates inflation which the country has suffered plenty of in recent years this is nothing new in argentina but that doesn't make the frets of an

economic crisis any easier to bear with everybody nervously watching the interest in currency exchange rates knowing that the impact of any economic meltdown is brutal. many are still traumatized by the economic crisis of two thousand and one two thousand and two when argentina defaulted on sovereign debts of ninety three billion dollars savers were refused access to their own bank account. a millions were plunged into poverty. some fear it's coming again others believe it can't happen again. you know where walking on the brink that's what it seems like to me. in two thousand and one the economy was televised and all deposits had to be turned in dollars but it's not like that now the banks have pesos and won't have the same problems. when the president came to power two and a half years ago he promised to make argentina what he called a normal country after years of economic turmoil it's still not clear how close

argentina is to achieving normality we have to follow over the next days or weeks how this very high interest rates will affect. not only the massive efforts market which probably will give some breather but also how the economy would respond with consumption investments and so forth as it is very difficult to maintain such high interest rates for long term. inflation is still high and investment is lower than many expected the dow ten thousand is hoping praying the president's promise is still on track. one of cyrus. a new study suggests that americans are growing increasingly lonely nearly half the participants said they feel alone isolated or left out at least at least some of the time. poll. a person off in the distance alone in their thoughts sitting in a park in darkness

a portrait of a man walking in the snow all by himself a young man playing basketball with nobody else around all pictures of people in new york in situations of solitude perhaps loneliness. to court a sick polish photographers snapped the pictures he says he can relate to the subjects he moved to new york city four years ago knew almost no one and discovered many people suffered from loneliness just by chance many of his photographs were of people alone you know you come here and you are busy with your work life and then you realize that all your family all your friends and social life and then in many ways is behind and i was used to it but i talked to a lot of people a lot of new york is here my friends are strangers. and the theme of loneliness just kept coming back according to a study sponsored by cigna the global health an insurance company americans are

alarmingly lonely and being alone can bring about serious health risks. research has been done that has shown loneliness the went to heart disease diabetes depression substance use and other chronic illnesses while this study was focused on the us researchers say the numbers are similar in other parts of the world but perhaps what stood out most in the study young people between each gene and twenty two years old scored higher than any other age group in the loneliness survey horrible or lonely than people seventy two and older researchers aren't exactly sure why but they say high social media consumption does not help. we've all seen it a million times young people in parks like this and instead of sitting next to family and friends and talking hunched over their phones like this checking social media in social media is very anti social as for luke or

a pot but cultivating it also involves creating trees that inspire scene resent the natural world. and. i find beauty in trees when they're healthy and full of life instead of in the shape. i used to be very ambitious and how i transform the trees some of which were the most admired and respected in japan but when i turned thirty seven i realized how much i had damaged them and then suddenly i heard their screams saying we are alive just like you i felt strangled this experience changed me completely. i try to understand what the best conditions are for each tree and deciding on the spot what i need to do now what i shouldn't do and what can't wait. the trees taught me not to force my own a statics upon them that's why i study hard to understand how the trees the sun and

the wind can best work together. i give them only moderate amounts of water and fertilizer it encourages the trees to grow the roots out. it's important to give them the strength to survive and thrive on their own. some are more than a thousand years old the junipers are around four to five hundred years old it's astonishing but i'm equally moved by the life force of plants growing from the seeds or cuttings. the trees grow into certain shapes to thrive and i respect that what i tried to do is bring out their beauty so that more people can appreciate and take good care of them i think that's the job of a craftsman even if they're highly valued i wouldn't say that they're true bonsai unless your heart feels at peace looking at them you'd give the trees all your love
