a big concrete. block any try to get in that way and then you come over to this side and you can really get a sense of how militarized this city has become here there are national guard troops on corners blocking traffic there are going to be 25000 national guard troops here in the city by wednesday there are already over 20000 and as you can see they're blocking off most of the traffic over here as many of the streets in d.c. remain quite frankly very deserted because of all of this security presence security officials in washington say they are most concerned about. domestic terror incident and on friday we're being told by the capitol police that they are arrested and came up to a security checkpoint similar to this one that i'm at right now and he had a fake inauguration credential and he also had a loaded weapon with more than $500.00 rounds of ammunition it's kind of incidents

that worry people here so much that is why washington d.c. sees this unprecedented security presence washington d.c. the capitol of the united states very much on lockdown. well the incoming biden administration is planning to use executive orders to undo several of president trump policies it includes reversing the so-called muslim travel ban which trump the knots in a week of the taking office policy by the entry of foreign nationals from muslim majority countries and led to widespread protests on the gallic reports from miami . fulfilling a campaign promise to enact extreme president signed an executive order temporarily banning travel from 7 muslim majority countries in january 2007 see the president's reasoning to make america safe. the protection of the nation from foreign terrorists and into the united. in the

aftermath protests broke out at airports across the country as those fleeing violence and trying to reunite with their families were prevented from entering the u.s. civil rights organizations branded the ban religious discrimination against muslims . legal challenges were successful in blocking the 1st 2 iterations of trump's travel ban in 2018 the supremes allowed a 3rd version of the executive order to go into force now nationals from 13 countries including north korea venezuela and several african nations are on the list the travel ban has been particularly hard for those hoping to escape the violence in countries like syria and yemen when the supreme court made its ruling those trying to reunite with elderly relatives were devastated zet 90 told us his mother is close to giving up she stayed forcibly in jordan for 3 years and you know

green court decision she finally said listen i read it out. this far. i want to go back in it's disagreement you started and to be honest we couldn't see anything any more. president elect joe biden has promised to repeal the travel bans and increase refugee admissions by 125000 civil rights groups say that doesn't go far enough because the same old same old isn't going to work anymore and as hard as we fought against the trumpet mensuration we're going to fight even harder against the biden administration because we expect them to resolve these issues for those still stuck in the bureaucratic limbo known as administrative processing the incoming administration is promises if filled will bring renewed hope president elect joe biden says the travel ban is morally wrong once he takes office he can rescind the order with the stroke of a pen that reuniting families will be

a long difficult and complex process biden says the policy betrays u.s. values undoing its legacy could take years to gallacher al-jazeera miami florida the touch of the game is in wilmington delaware she explained what other policies biden wants to reverse it. he said that he would be using executive orders to either overturn things that he thought were not in the nation's interests or that were an example of overreach by trump on the day that he is inaugurated he will be sending an immigration bill to congress immigration is something that has vexed both republican and democratic presidents for decades the l.a. times is saying that this bill will hopefully for undocumented immigrants create a path for citizenship the l.a. times also says that unlike previous bills that have been put forth to congress it won't necessarily be contingent expanding immigration won't necessarily be

contingent on expanding security and enforcement biden will also in a real departure from trump says that he will rejoin the paris agreement president obama for president obama signed this in 2016 at the time he called this international treaty addressing climate change a landmark decision the following year in 2017 trump pulled out he said that it would create draconian economic and financial restrictions in the united states and would mean a loss of 2700000 jobs to address the pandemic biden is moving forward with a mask mandate he's calling it a masking 100 day masking challenge now this is something that the trump administration has not only opposed but been hostile toward. uganda's president has warned he'll deal decisively with anyone planning to create chaos following his election victory here wearing a 71 a 6 term in office extending his 35 years in power but his main challenger bobby

wine has announced the election as a complete fraud catherine saw reports from kampala. it did not come as a surprise president 70 has maintained a decisive lead against his opponents from the start of the vote count a little commission declares you. are elected president of the republic of uganda the president addressed the nation after his victory was declared and say despite attempts by some individuals to tamper with the barometric identification kits their election was largely free and fair they who were issued to you for telling. illegal numbers and are voting for the gun deaths and for their buddies. i think

this may turn out to be the most. read. elections. supporters of the 76 year old incumbent cand out to celebrates. his support. this and of being the he's the one with. the electoral commission and they've done their best under the circumstances but already the results have been rejected by bobby why they have evidence of widespread irregularities including rigging in favor of president yoweri with 7050 members say they are considering moving to court to challenge the. other forms of grignon that are not restricted to for the question of the credits on forms including chasing the will agents at the polling station including forcing people to vote in the open yet under the law

i suppose the power of the sekret. the result so wine received nearly 35 percent of the vote and his party the national unity platform has garnered a sizable number of legislative seats however he told us that his movements have been restricted and visitors including gianna lists have been blocked from accessing his compound by soldiers surrounding his home security official say they had information that he was planning to declare himself we know there's also been heavy deployment of police in the military in the capital and other areas perceived to be opposition strongholds the winner may have been declared but the country remains on edge catherine soy al jazeera. well jeffrey smith is a founding director of vanguard africa he explained why i'm a 70 still popular with many. just like any liberation movement leader as a general must have been it was nearly 4 decades ago he does retain support and one

of the ways in which he has been able to do that is his system of patronage in the country when you've been in power for as long as he has longer than most ugandans have been alive for 35 years now this will be his 6th consecutive term in office rebuild the build up that was networks in are able to pay off and to pay bribes and use corruption to to stay in power so certainly he does have his support because the people that support him are largely benefiting from him being being in office and i think the really unfortunate outcome here is so often people point to god as being this bastion of stability in an otherwise unstable region but that is clearly not the case if you look at the pictures and the videos coming from uganda that the opposition supporters who have been bloodied and b. and killed in disappeared the peaceful protesters who have been gunned down with impunity i don't know how any sane person could possibly still say that that represents a stable country. for a short break here al-jazeera when we come back libya's children head back to their

responsibility of the strobe and i will give my all to walk to give a through this year to win the regional election in only a few short weeks and make sure that we will win the next general elections and provide the chancellor of germany thanks although this vote needs to be confirmed by the entire party membership on friday for many arm in russia is a continuity candidate his slogan was that i am the representative of the executive branch so if you vote for me you can be sure you get a leader you get someone actually who had won elections so none of the other 2 candidates actually ever won an election. governing in his state during the pandemic has been an ordeal for lash it the numbers of infections and deaths there have been among the highest in germany back when the incidence of covert was much lower he argued for less stringent lockdowns hoping to protect the economy as much as the people it's important to point out that winning the party leadership on its own does not bring with it the right to work here the german chancellor angela

merkel has already said she intends to serve out her term here so in order to replace the new party leader must win september's general election. but before he can do that he may have to deal with another leading conservative marcus's head of the cd used to varian sister party the christian social union many say they would rather vote for him as chancellor congratulations to i mean lash it i'm very happy i think this was an exciting party congress it was a very fair contest it was a very good introduction to 3 excellent candidates and in the end i believe there was a result from which the c.d.u. deserves congratulations it offers an opportunity for great cooperation. but what form that cooperation will take in terms of who runs for chancellor remains unclear meaning there is much still to do with arm in law should wants to replace angela merkel dominic came out earlier well rick is

a german political analyst he explained what the change of leadership means for the c.d.u. and what challenges the party faces. i think quite any candidate it became much easier to win back votes because the performance of the other than a t.v. food option has been so terrible in recent months and they're also running out of tall thinks that can be instrumental to winning the hearts and minds of people like high numbers of refugees we haven't seen any pandemic wasn't managed terrible because in the 1st wave of the pandemic we only saw 5000 deaths in germany which was a record low compared with other countries so it became pretty difficult for them to do fine in the chair and that could be seen as a major challenge to the conservative party it is in the 2nd attempt to nominate someone who could lead the conservative party into a brighter future or maybe not their conservative but

a party that he finds itself something america managed to achieve in the 15 years of being the face of the christian democratic union and the chancellor of germany so number of challenges and we have not really an idea what someone who only has a regional profile so far will do in the future what his positions in international affairs in european integration as a response to initiatives that come from the french president will be. in northern brazil where more emergency supplies of oxygen have been airlifted to a city that's been overwhelmed by a surge in coronavirus people in my mouse have been queuing in the streets to buy oxygen in a desperate bid to keep loved ones alive 2 new variations of corona virus all spreading rapidly through the capital of i'm a zone a state want to tell you no it is in one else and has more on the desperate search for oxygen. the situation here in my now is the capital of the amazon

a state it's very dramatic these people that you see here behind me are in line with their oxygen cylinders waiting for them to be filled up in this factory and they've been they put their names on a list and they're waiting to be called now this is not the only place where they've been we've been following these people around and they've come 7 from other factories that have run out of supply so they're going from one place to the other leaving their names behind waiting in the sun and the heat to be able to bring some a breath or are some oxygen some hope for hospitals where their families and their loved ones are now the police has limited the axis of cars here so many of them like this people here are carrying them on their backs literally so it's a very difficult situation to be carrying the cylinders from one place to the other the other thing that we must take into account is that at 7 pm in manassas time

test didn't go entirely as planned it's still a big deal because this is the 1st time that all 4 of these engines have been fired at the same time this is the only technology that's available at the moment that can lift the amount of payload incur ago that we need to make it to the 1000000 so stay sex that's done incredible things with their reusability but they can't make it past low earth orbit so this is the rocket that's going to take astronauts and cargo back to the lunar surface trump sat for a 2024 hour deadline which is great because deadlines me in that hard work gets me in test get done but their deadlines are not always necessarily realistic so there's a lot left to do to get to the lunar surface obviously the test today ran for about 60 seconds nasa needed according to experts have they had talked this
