hundreds flee west for after tribal violence kills dozens of people overnight. ugandan opposition leader bobby wiener to contest what he calls a sham election which has delivered president where even 70 a 6th term. also heard further gloom for business use in italy the national lockdown extended adding to a crippling effect of coronavirus. and on fire as well have all that in sport including and the star james harding is after winning start with the preparation that after putting in a history making performance. we begin this news hour in the united states with a country is on edge 3 days before joe biden's inauguration the u.s. capitol is in lockdown as officials try to ensure a peaceful transfer of power to militarize green zone has been established and

25000 national guard troops have been deployed to washington d.c. the f.b.i. is tracking threats to biden and other democratic leaders and has warned there could be armed protests in all 50 states live now to alan fischer who's outside the white house for us so obviously allan that the relevant authorities assuming here there is clear and present danger that somebody will try something. but there's also. certainly a thought but the sheer sure force that we've seen over the last 4 or 5 days with 20000 national guardsmen moving in to the capital area with numerous members of other branches of law enforcement making their presence felt of the huge security cordon that has been employees than washington d.c. and covered quite extensively in all media across the united states that that may well have discouraged many people from heading to washington d.c. there is still a concern and not letting their guard down because of course of the scenes that we

saw 10 days ago when the morgue moved towards the capitol and started to break into the building causing all the chaos that they did but you can certainly see just from my personal experience walking in just in the last hour or so things are certainly a lot more organized on wednesday and thursday when the barrier started to go up it was slightly disorganized people weren't sure what was being cause what was left open where people could go today it is much much clearer people know exactly what they're doing the security checkpoints set up i was even say ouch some distance away from the white house before the normal security checks before you get here so there is just a feeling that the authorities are on top of this and as we know the f.b.i. continue to monitor online for any possible threats either to the inauguration itself or coming today because today according to many right wing sites was to be a day of protests not just here in washington d.c. but in state capitals and there is a feeling that if there is

a vulnerability it may well be in state capitals where people haven't taken the threat quite as seriously and when mr biden gets his feet under the desk in the office behind you there allan we're in for a flurry of executive orders in effect rescinding those early days of the trump presidency. well certainly we knew that joe biden's plan was that initially he would move very quickly on that $1.00 trillion covered relief bill $1.00 trillion dollars we also knew that he was going to try and push towards getting $100000000.00 vaccines in the 1st $100.00 days we're getting a clearer idea of what he will do a plan of executive orders in those 1st few days in the 1st few hours we are told that joe biden will sign an executive order which will put the united states back into the climate agreement we're told that he will sign an executive order rescinding donald trump's travel ban for people who come from countries that are

predominantly muslim we're also going to see that he is going to push a federal masking law no he can't mandate it but what he can see in all federal buildings you will wear a mask when you travel interstate you will we have a mask he's hoping that this will be a challenge to people now that's what they're calling it the masking challenge so clearly joe biden can the hardest intend to hit the ground running that's what joe biden said he wanted to do and certainly from the plan being laid out by his chief of staff late on saturday night we can see that's exactly what he's planning to do many thanks talk to you soon i'm sure allan for sure the site the white house. now when donald trump took office he said to overturn u.s. immigration policy he believed it was weak and unfair to americans and the u.s. border with mexico became his proving ground al-jazeera as heidegger castro takes a look at his legacy their. own racist description of mexican immigrants marked donald trump for mad again trends to the presidential race in 2016 they are

bringing drugs they're bringing rhyme their rapers he then back out to build a border one we're going to build only mexico's going to pay for the little helping to attract a base of mostly white working class supporters who spears of america's growing diversity contributed to try. so when from this day forward it's going to be only america 1st. fors the wall built though bill far short of what he promised these prototypes never advanced past the testing phase instead trump built 730 kilometers of fencing mostly to replace older sections and mexico didn't pay a penny of the $15000000000.00 price tag that money is coming from american taxpayers after trying to shut down the government for $35.00 days then declared a national emergency to commandeer some of the funding. still in the final days of

his presidency trump returned to his so-called wall to tout it as a win and i think when you see what it does and how it's so important for a country nobody's going to be touching it border arrests plunged during trump's 1st 3 months in office but then caravans of migrant families began traveling north from central america claiming to plead gang violence by the summer of trump's 2nd year in the white house unauthorized border crossings reached a 13 year high of more than $130000.00 a month it was in the midst of that surge that came trump's family separation policy that are agents took more than 4000 children from their parents at the border a practice that drew widespread condemnation and a judge quickly ordered the policy to end saying children were suffering irreparable harm and must be returned to their families but even today some 500 kids remain separated in its haste to do trumps will the u.s.

government have lost track of their parents it's not as if the u.s. government collected mailing address that was for them when they deported them we really don't know where they are which is why there's more than 500 families who are still separated in other controversial border policy trumps treatment of asylum seekers in 29000 the u.s. government stopped giving them conditional entrance into the country now some 60000 asylum seekers have been forced to wait in mexico for a turn to see a u.s. judge that coupled with new code restrictions slowed unauthorized border crossings to a trickle last spring but now the numbers are rising a new it's likely that people are have renewed hope for how the southern border will operate with a new and incoming president trying to legacy on immigration is still to be determined by the u.s. supreme court which dealt him of low when i had ruled earlier that an obama era

have been other incidents that look very similar. well actually peter will have in this morning here in kabul falls into a pattern that has become all too familiar across afghanistan and especially here in kabul government employees civil servants activists and journalists getting either gunned down or having their cars blown up all the way to work it's been happening for months now and it seems like it's getting worse every day this 2 female judges were gunned down all the way to work this morning some more people were injured and according to human rights watch afghanistan right now has a 200 female judges what happened this morning means that within seconds within minutes one percent of the sounds all feel mild judges where wiped out now most of these targeted assassinations remain unclaimed i still has claimed some of

them but the government keeps insisting that the taliban are behind them the taliban keeps denying responsibility so there is this pattern of a blame game about who is responsible the minister of interior has been doing some arrests but there is this issue of impunity because this is where their work starts and stops and that is what happens to the judges still system will this people ever face justice and that's something that has not been happening and this culture of impunity is what people say here encourages even more this targeted assassinations that have been taking place peter do these killings impact the peace talks. actually yes they do and just a few minutes ago the u.s. sarge the ferries here in kabul tweeted something say and cold all on the taliban to understand that such actions for which it bears responsibility outraged the world and must stop if peace is to come to afghanistan so this is assassinations

are taking place in the backdrop of us government to us negotiators and the talabani are talking about peace coming to afghanistan and what this targeted assassinations are doing is that they're widening the already existing mistrust between the 2 sides and from what people have been telling us also they endanger the peace talks because they are fearing that the support of on the afghan people about this peace talks were start to wind down because how can you actually believe in peace talks when there are so many people being killed and die here every day peter thank you very much will you come to florida for us live in kabul. there's been a 2nd nights of protests in tunisia in cities despite a government imposed locked up a video showing a police officer abusing a shepherd has drawn comparisons to the incident 10 years ago that led to the arab

spring uprisings. a man is humiliated in the street by a police officer whose shepherd is being reprimanded and pushed apparently because his sheep got too close to the local government headquarters. and. the video has led to protests but also include the state of the economy joblessness and police violence became a decade after a street vendor set himself on fire in protest over the same issues an event that became a catalyst for the 2011 revolution in tunisia and the arab spring or earlier in the day prime minister his mission she had reshuffle the cabinet and he told the ministers to carry out reforms including new ministers of health interior justice and energy it had to fit a city with that we have had the aim of this reshuffle is to achieve greater efficiency in the work of the government's policy and plans what and feel. many view the timing as important thursday was the anniversary of the downfall of

president seen a lot of denali who was forced out in a popular revolution that's what the region but with demonstrations banned because of the coronavirus there were no commemorations on the streets. bought at least 6 cities protesters defied those orders and confrontations with police officers protesters across the country once again being hurt in the capitol. hill al-jazeera . the russian opposition leader alexina vallone is used to return home late on sunday despite threats that he will be arrested the russian prison authorities has warned he'll be immediately detained once he comes back from germany he's being treated this since being poisoned and almost dying in all this not only says it was the work of the kremlin the kremlin denies that we have 2 reporters bringing us live reports on this developing story standing by in. moscow as alexandra go for we begin however in berlin with correspondent there dominic cain dominic do we know where he is right now his flight is due to depart in the next half hour or so so

presumably he's actually physically at the airport yes that is the safe presumption there are some reports that suggest that german police will be giving him security right the way up to the door of the plane so high stakes as it were in this particular scenario and it's also worth pointing out that in so far as the wider elements of this case are concerned we know that the german justice ministry has this weekend said that it has provided the russian or thora tease with considerable details transcripts of interviews that they performed with mr van they once he had recovered sufficiently to be able to speak to them and also says the german justice ministry it has sent on to the russian or thora he's certain items of clothing and blood samples from mr nirvana and they say that this particular crime in their words needs to be solved in russia that it is in russia that this must be solved

and that chimes with what the chancellor here angela merkel and many of her ministerial colleagues have been saying for such a long time since this incident began in august that those who carried out this poisoning must be brought to book must be brought to justice and the thing about angela merkel when she speaks about that she paid private visits to mr of army when he was convalescing in hospital and remember that he's now been in the war he has been in germany for almost 5 months almost 5 months since he was brought here in a coma and now he is going to complete his journey back to moscow in the course of the next few hours but the years setting up another locking of horns if you will don between himself and mr putin's kremlin. well he from his perspective mr vanier has been clear that he always had the intention he sent that to return to russia to return to moscow and that nothing would prevent him from

doing that he was so determined was he to to return to his homeland he said when he announced this this decision in the course of the last few days it was unambiguous the wording that he used so from one perspective it's almost as if he is perhaps daring the all thora he's in russia now if we know that that from the russian perspective there has always been a complete denial of any complicity whatsoever regarding what happened to mr donovan a and then if we look at this from a european perspective we know that angle americal and foreign minister colleague of led to the charge as it were of ministers of leaders trying to prevail upon the russians to comply to prosecute where possible and obviously the ball is in their court now ok don many thanks let's go live to moscow and our reporter there alexandra gopher so alexandra this goes back to a suspended sentence the russian authorities say he breached the protocol

surrounding that going back to 2014 so they're accusing him the accusation seems to be you breached the rules and regulations surrounding that suspended sentence because you went to germany because somebody in russia poisoned you. yes indeed this is exactly what the prison authorities of russia are are claiming now the thing is that in this period that was attached to the suspended sentence expired on the 30th of december but they managed to file with the court that he violated to this probation on the 29th of december a saying that he did not report to the prison authorities when he was called and that they did not know about his whereabouts they even went there so far to quote the article in the lancet journal saying that according to that article 'd he was quite well already in a september das he had to reply to their request now they are holding this against

him in the prison authorities promise that they're going to do everything they can to detain him the moment he'll land in russia here his supporters wanted to greet him but it seems that he is going to be police well can mean him home what we know that the airport where he is to land this evening there is a lot of bullies there dearies a prisoner transportation vans all the way the position and there is apparently reports that the arrivals hall is fenced off so no one can meet anyone landing in this forward to today and whilst the political analysts here were busy analyzing this whole situation of riley supporters and opposition in general was commenting on it and praising him for his brave move kremlin's silent there was no word from the red square on the this occasion whatsoever ever

since he announced that he's coming back home even if you used. the key word i guess you're alexander he could be detained but even a few years does he then represent more of an impactful figure because he's physically in russia a game around which the opposition can perhaps rally. yes indeed with this this arrival does announcement in itself that he's coming back is seen as an explicit challenge to the authorities is seen as a very brave more that the despite the fact that he's life has been in danger here and that to some say might happen again is not beyond possible that he might end up serving a longer prison term that he decides to go back is seen as a boost to the opposition's specially in the view of their to the end of the 2020

a here in russia a lot of restrictive laws have been signed by putin that are going to make oppositional life almost impossible now these brave move on the other hand is seen by the political analysts here as something that is not really a choice even though really wants to have a political future in russia because what the past. is that you cannot participate actively in effectively in political life in russia and do something if you keep on living outside of its borders thank you so much alexander golf rather a correspondent reporting live from moscow. it's cycling season and we have another name one for you developing off the coast of queensland this still circle of thunderstorms here approaching kansas cold kimmie it's not particularly big the winds are particularly strong it brings in fairly high waves but i think what's going to happen is once you get over land you get

during lockdowns around the world researches say the greater reliance on technology could have harmful long term effects some experts are warning of withdrawal like symptoms when school and social life does begin to return to normal gaming apps such as steam and roadblocks of marked wreck or usage instagram's tripled its monthly user account tally. you know surface call for parents to rethink screen time among suggestions made by addiction experts is a digital detox period every day by limiting access to why farai and device use let's speak to a child psychologist katherine elisi in cork in ireland catherine great so you back here on the news hour this was meant to be temporary it's beginning to look rather permanent so parents who are worried about their teenagers or their young children what can they do. yes i think that's one of the most important things to remember is that when all of this started we all thought it was going to be temporary and

lots of parenting experts said you know you can just relax your rules for a little higher this is an emergency then we can reevaluate when things are back to normal and now we're almost see your leaser and so many parents have been in touch with to say that they wished they hadn't actually relaxed their rules and that now they're saying when they consider facts and you mention that it study tracks that there are in number of things that you can do you know certain times of day where there is no tech allowed or you can even pick one day a week where there is no check allowed and if you're talking about true addiction then you need to look at something like full on digital detox for 2 to 4 weeks with no tensions now it's important to remember that most people aren't. they are just engaged in significant. so if it's just for use it can really look at a battle we sing and where your children are

a technology and then adjust accordingly ok for those people who are properly addicted is it fair to say they're addicted to the hit of don't put me in that people get the general body generates it when you look at that website when you look at your instagram or your facebook and you get that like you get that little wave icon coming up and that's the thing that causes the addiction but for anyone worried about the symptoms either in somebody else or in themselves indeed how do they recognize whether they are addicted or not. well in a true addiction it's for not only do you enjoy doing the activity but it's interfering with typical everyday likes so your social interaction your leisure activity and even info tracing into your work so you know the kinds of symptoms you might see in your children is a recent the l.s.e. when you were trying to limit their time now you might say that all the teenagers there are suppose when their parents are limiting their time that this is just that

what their level of this is and to take a shower when you're away from your designs or this irritability if somebody is calling you to do something that you might typically happen joeys in the past so you're looking for changes in behavior and we know that most of us are over using our devices and protests happen no institution so sure trying activities have changed because they're not able to go someplace sports they're not really nice in person so everybody was thinking ok how can we keep the social interaction going but no we have to we have had this your peace it and period for simulation in this digital world and that has really taken over and when you're engaged in these hyperstimulation activities it can make all other activities seem rather under stimulating and boring so things that you may may have previously enjoyed catherine just you know interest me for interrupting you there are any of the platforms or the tech companies saying anything about this to people like yourself in as much as

you know 40 years ago at the beginning of silicon valley when that started getting really powerful it was about people building hardware and software that was the product nowadays because it's all platform based and at the based we are the product the users are the product because the platforms want to expose us to advertising that's why they drag you in and they want to keep you there so there's got to be some responsibility here with the soccer burks the facebook's the instagram and the tick tocks. and you know i think that's the next greatest debase you know it's our attention is the commodity and we as individuals we as parents we really really need to think very carefully about how we protect this most precious precious commodity in a glass we allow to infiltrate into our homes we need to be incredibly intentional with our digital use and i think you are very correct that the companies have

a huge responsibility as social and moral responsibility to begin to address this this is i believe the next big wave for this huge problem area that we are facing as a society say because it's so much of it has been just the spin city this insidious nature of the ways has infiltrated homes accidentally particularly within the last 12 months because you know we we all know that we need to monitor our children's use but people were relaxed those rules and then the companies receiving this huge increase and they were also in the flying excessive use so words treats and special rewards for extensive use so what they're doing actually is rewarding maladaptive behavior you know so it's not just about the do you mean hit that you mentioned earlier that is definitely part of this but it's this and we're using

devices to naam our experiences and to know our emotions and you know the technology can be absolutely wonderful but it's the indiscriminate and the pervy safely of how it's invading our lives in dating or leisure activities that's for the issues like a brave parents who switches off the wife i but maybe then the teenagers will actually have a meal with you face to face catherine really good to talk to you thank you so much for coming on we do appreciate. it ok the incoming by the administration is planning to use executive. orders to under several of president trumps policies these include repealing travel bans and boosting the u.s. refugee intake and the gal who has that story from miami. fulfilling a campaign promise to enact extreme vetting president trump signed an executive order temporarily banning travel from 7 muslim majority countries in january 2017 the president's reasoning to make america safe and this is the projection for the
