choosier. this is al-jazeera. i'm adrian for the get this is that he was live from doha coming up in the next 60 minutes heavy security in the u.s. capitol with just 3 days to go before joe biden becomes the u.s. president kremlin critic alexina valley heads home to russia after spending months recovering in germany from a near fatal poisoning. on the run hundreds flee west off or off to dozens of people are killed in tribal fighting. and we'll tell you how briggs it is being

blamed for ruining scotland's fishing industry. and in sport more than 70 tennis players and now in strict ahead of the australian open it follows a positive coronavirus test on a 3rd flight heading to that's on. the center of the u.s. capitol resembles a fortress 3 days before president elect joe biden is sworn in in the wake of the riots on capitol hill security is at an all time high streets a shot police and security forces are deployed and it's not just in washington but at state capital buildings across the country the f.b.i. has warned more protests supporting donald trump are expected in the meantime joe biden's announcing his cabinet appointments making promises for his 1st $100.00 days in office among those of almost 2 trillion dollars economic recovery package and the promise of strict schools on federal property as that's on top of promises

to roll back many of donald trump's most controversial policies including rejoining the paris climate accord repealing the travel ban from some muslim nations and overhaul of immigration policies and we'll have more on that later in the program but 1st let's go to our correspondents who are closely following events in the u.s. capitol hill abdulhamid is out on the streets of washington monitoring the security operation but 1st let's go to alan fischer who's at the white house allan tell us more about this raft of executive orders that joe biden is planning to overturn some of the trumpet ministrations most controversial policies. you often get presidents making promises that in the 1st day in office i will do this and donald trump was no different he said of course i don't especially in office he would move the capital the united states embassy to jerusalem in israel and he did that but he didn't do it on day one joe biden made several claims during the campaign he

said 1st of all they were going to get the united states back into the climate accord signed them pass that going to be done he also said that he would overturn donald trump's so-called muslim ban that's the ban that it was and imposed on people traveling from mainly muslim countries that is going to be done he's also going to turn his attention to corporate because of course joe biden has been saying for a long time know that donald trump's reaction has been very poor here's an interesting fact 20th of january is an important day it's an important day because in 2020 that was the 1st state that there was a case of corporate confront in the united states that reaction over the last 12 months of the trumpet ministration has come in from a great deal of criticism and joe biden noise that from the 20th of january 2021 that's his problem so he really does have to make some actions he's going to introduce some economic measures he says will protect people student loans are

going to be discussed as well clearly he wants to take action to stop people being kicked out of their homes a moratorium essentially on the vixens and foreclosures for people who own their homes he's also talking about the mosque challenge where he is going to say that you've got a way to mask if you're one in federal property or to traveling interstate he wants to make sure that most of the population is wearing masks by day 100 he's got a problem though there are people who still believe that joe biden didn't when the election there are many polls coming out that see a majority of republicans in some cases believe that joe biden didn't win the election and donald trump should be president. as for donald trump well he's going to leave here on wednesday he'll leave before of you know gratian his intention is to fly to florida from joint base andrews air force one normally leaves he wants to have a small military parade he's hoping as well for a fly past by some fighter jets he wants a 21 gun salute he wants

a red carpet all the way up the stairs to air force one those things he's like with again and then of course he heads off to florida when he becomes ex president dong trump believe it or not there's just 74 hours left of the donald trump presidency as alan fischer reporting live there from the white house ok let's go out on the streets of washington d.c. and join the serious heart of the home it set the scene for us there in washington order. that certainly i mean you keep by the day this city is becoming more and more of a fortress we're just here on the edge of what the f.b.i. has named a green zone so basically oldest center the downtown of washington d.c. is sealed off to traffic wherever you go you'll see exactly the same scene behind me national guards blocking the road blocking the access for and any kind of traffic you see barricades everywhere therefore bridges that link washington d.c.

to virginia that have been open and closed but as we get closer to inauguration day they will be closed for at least 24 hours so certainly more and more security as we understand it so fired up about 10000 national guards who have arrived here in washington d.c. but by immigration day so in less than 72 hours that number should at least be 20007 the local media saying that that could actually go up to 25000 just to give you an idea that number of 25000 would be at least 3 fold the combined number of u.s. troops that i did not. stationed in afghanistan iraq somalia and syria that's how seriously authorities here are taking this security threats it's all comes after the f.b.i. said it found chatter online of possible demonstrations today not only here in washington d.c. but in the 50 capital states across the country and as you said similar security

measures are being taken in all these capitals you've seen the government buildings there being boarded up also axes being blocked to traffic barry kids up everywhere so certainly as sense and anxiety as the u.s. wakes up to this sunday wondering what will unfold under streets. hoda abdel-hamid reporting author from washington how many thanks indeed russian opposition leader alexina volley is on his way home from germany where he spent 5 months recovering from a nerve agent poisoning the kremlin critic is returning even the russian authorities say they'll put him back behind bars of only explained his poisoning on russia's governments the kremlin has denied any role in the attempted assassination out of moscow on account of god why is the forests xandra how will the valley be greeted when he gets there. well you see when he announced that he's coming back to

moscow his supporters started organizing to greet him but it is most likely that he will be met and welcome back home by the police ever since this morning there is a big and growing police presence on the airport where there is also a number of prisoners predation vans there d r i will haul has been fenced off it's been reported and people were yesterday even warned not to come there because this is as police said illegal gathering so gathering without the permit and now the prison authorities have promised that they're going to try everything they can to detain him immediately when he sets his foot on the russian soil they're saying that he violated the terms of he's suspended sentence his probation which actually expired on the 30th all of december what they're saying is that the not he did not report himself to the prison the

authorities when he was asked and that they didn't know his whereabouts whilst he was in germany so faced with this threat that he might be arrested immediately when he's said he's fought on russian soil. decided to come back home and this is what all he also said to the journalists in the plane that as a russian citizens he has rights to go back he also said earlier did he that that was not the question for him whether he's coming back or not that he decided to come back when he is good enough feeling that well enough and what does his return to russia mean for the political opposition in that country. well you see of the end of this year we saw a lot of very restrictive laws that have been signed here in russia that make the opposition activity basically impossible so his decision to return this 5 the threat of the long jail sentence is seen here as

a brave move as explicit challenge studio thora tease it is also seen as a boost to the opposition on the other hand political analysts are saying that if he would stay for a very long time abroad so outside of russia then his political future would be in question scenes in the past the distance of dimes and also some other russian opposition as they didn't manage to stay popular to stay in the focus with their supporters if they are acting from abroad with this move he also wants to say to the opposition here to the to the supporters and also to kremlin that he is not to be scared that he's not scared and that he is not going to step back and high and xandra good for life for us there in moscow maria lipman is senior associate at the institute for european russian and eurasian studies of the moscow campus of the george washington university she joins us now live from the russian capital good to

have you with us maria germany's foreign ministry says that it's given russia transcripts of interviews with the volley about his poisoning will that have any bearing on how he's treated upon his return to russia. no i don't think it will have any bearing whatsoever the russian foreign ministry spokesperson already dismissed those transcripts as not substantial in that should be pointed out that not by any himself fused. to give any information about. any medical information to the russian authorities sell whatever the transcripts have they do not have the medical information. they are in now. on what grounds might develop he then be detained when he arrives in russia what do you make of it given that a apparently he's he's missed a bale a point and a fax what he's done what do you make of the security operation at the airport ahead of his arrival. well i think at this point in time in the main concern for

the authorities is to minimize the publicity coming back to russia defying very serious risk to his freedom. they are healthy and arrested measures taken in the airport you're moscow reporter was talking about that so at this point in time that is all we know for sure about the russian authorities that they want to reduce publicist say they do not want him to meet those supporters it relatively small group gathered in the airport there but i'm sure there will be denied the opportunity to see him and greet him he was greeted on board the plane in there was food there that was posted on social networks by those people passengers and journalists who when there are 2 berlijn to travel with him on this flight but there will be no publicity from the airport one of them in the large scale protests by the venues supporters of his poisoning. well i

would not exaggerate the if there were any as the leader of the opposition are saying is that there is no such thing as opposition in russia or if we're talking about a party or a movement there are supporters there are critically minded people who sympathize with him who had my ear his courage and eat his fearlessness his self secrete fishel behavior it's hard to describe it otherwise but there is no such thing as an opposition movement of which he would be the leader there is a very intense exchange going on on social networks. he is his flights. traced by 60000 people this is the most recent information just as his as he is in flight but there is no movement this is why areas don't protest given that why would he want to return home given the. detention and that has been

an attempt on his life. we are his a fearless may i know that certainly through he if he has stayed in germany he had joined the the group of immigrate politicians who are no relevance whatsoever in russia and he probably looks into the future he probably believes that the situation might change their regime will weaken in that he is following his supporters would get more active he has proven so many times that he believes in the future and he believes in this country that i think there was no reason for him to abandon this faith now. good to talk to you maria as always many thanks and the real opinion that in moscow well let's hear from the valley him self here's what he told reporters traveling with him on the plane. what do i need to be afraid of what bad thing can happen to me in russia i'm a citizen of russia i'm innocent and i have every right to return. here with from 0

to 0 still to come on the program we're going to build mexico's. we look back at president donald trump's contentious border policies what was promised and what was delivered. for the gloom for businesses it's a leave off the national mall is extended. and in sports and be a star james heart starts his career at the brooklyn nets with a history making performance. fighting in sudan's darfur region has left at least 83 people dead according to state media and buildings were burned in the capital of west darfur states and they know people have been fleeing the region after violence broke out over a dispute between different tribes a local civil society organizations says that armed groups taking advantage of the

fighting for that but this has not stopped that order was given yesterday by the governor to the to the security forces and they were going to ask for says but up until this morning asked her state authorities fighting have been ongoing they say that made it very hard to make sure about the number of those that is indeed 48 and they said that death toll could be higher the u.n. peacekeepers say they've retaken the central african republic says he. was captured earlier this month by rebel forces who are demanding that the government resign a coalition of armed groups launched an offensive last month to prevent the reelection of president bush. he was declared the winner but rebels and political opposition dispute the results at least 60000 people have fled the fighting al jazeera small can report from the central african republic capital. the un said the rwandan peacekeeping troops were deployed there ahead of

a potential operation and an ultimatum was given to the armed groups controlling the town after which they left although we've heard reports of gunfire in the area since and also reports that the 2 stupid control some parts of the town is 700 kilometers from here difficult to confirm but since that happened the armed groups have brought their fight much closer to here the capital with or without the small towns they still control about 2 thirds of the country's territory and most of the country's diamond and gold mines now they thought to be just a few kilometers down this road where there was fighting last week and it's been reports of a build up of troops and a recruitment drive just a few kilometers from here in the recent days ahead of a possible attack and that left a lot of people thinking that the withdrawal of fighters from bangor could in fact be friend preparation for an assault here on the capital. 2 female afghan judges subpoena shot dead in kabul their car was targeted as they were on

among journalists and media workers or afghanistan some journalists have left the country and the rest operate under the extensive shadow of. this is very very concerning for us because if the current trend of assassination of journalists does not stop soon. and we will lose one of the greatest achievements of afghanistan in the past to their kids which of us press freedom and freedom of expression are gone government officials have accused the taliban of being behind some of the attacks but the group has not claimed responsibility for any assassinations after breakthrough negotiations between the 2 sides in 2020 skepticism about a peaceful solution is now growing a 2nd round of talks has resumed in the hurt but with a new u.s. administration about to take charge all sides are biding their time according to a us taliban deal all u.s.

soldiers must leave alone is done by april i believe with trump we would have more of a time based approach in terms of withdrawal but with the biden and administration now we will have more of a condition based approach. where they will really look into their commitments made in the doha agreement although the overall outlook of the administration would remain same the peace process would continue but there will be more of a condition based approach have guns continue to live daily i mean insecurity and lawlessness makes odds children like many other than a gun is done though the ultimate price paid by some just for doing their job some of the job it does there and while u.s. and taliban negotiators have met in doha for talks on implementing the deal that they agreed to last year the taliban wants the u.s. to all our commitments on releasing prisoners and removing its leaders from a blacklist and while the u.s.

capitol is locked down with unprecedented security ahead of the inauguration of president elect joe biden a military greens has been established and $25000.00 national guard troops are being deployed to the. russian opposition leader alexina valdez on his way home from germany where he spent 5 months recovering from a nerve agent poisoning is returning even the russian authorities say they will put him back behind bars. facing in sudan's west all 4 regions left at least 83 people dead according to state media people fleeing the area after violence broke out over disputes between different tribes. early test of joe biden's immigration policies right now heading towards the u.s. border as many as $9000.00 on durance or in the guatemalan village of votto home though making their way north police of fired tear gas and form human walls to try to stop the refugees migrants along that journey some were arrested after trying to break through a police blockade and head for mexico governments throughout central america have

made it clear they won't let the caravan through serious joe holden has been following the progress of that caravan he joins us now live from mexico city where is that caravan right now john. it's exactly at the point you talked about and i think that you just showed as well the video there of the confrontation between the police and between the army and between the people heading from honduras now it's really important to know that this isn't just another caravan this is the one of the biggest that we've seen since this phenomenon began in 2018 guatemalan migration authorities estimate that there's about 6000 people that are traveling at the moment and they're traveling for a couple of reasons in november 2 massive storms hit central america and that really devastated sways of the country so it made an already poor population even poorer in some areas as sort of crime and violence in honduras and they're also

suffering from the impact obviously as the power of the pandemic as other countries are around the world there's also another thing that's happening at the moment that obviously our audience will be aware of president trump is going out and joe biden is going in and his policies so far that he's laid out in his campaign have been more sympathetic to asylum seekers so one of those might be factors that are leading into this massive group of people heading trying to get to the u.s. trying to get through at the moment what tamal are at the moment john you've covered many kind of on such as this in the past you've been out with them as they have as they've made the journeys tell us more about the people that you've met and the hardships that they face. yeah you're right we've been with several of the caravans as they've had to go through central america and one of the things that we've notice is that this really is

a cross-section of different people from all walks of life that have one thing in common that they feel that they can't stay in their homeland anymore as i mentioned for some people that's violence they've had direct threats from the gangs that control parts of honduras especially some pedal suit or similar which is a city that they've headed out from which is really known for extortion for murder gangs really controlling part that city but a lot of other people as well fleeing for economic reasons they just can't make life work back in their homeland and daughter says pool and it's been getting progressively poorer and as i mentioned with those 2 storms you've got a lot of desperate people that i spoke recently to one colleague who just spent a month in the city and she said that there were a lot of people that were practically out in the streets at the moment and just trying to wait and see when the moment would come now they faced increasing resistance on their way out this route since 2018 we were at the border in mexico

when they were stopped by the newly formed the national guard which was sent there to try and stop them getting through that's also president trump has put pressure on met sco to try to do that and as we speak the national guard of mexico are going to the southern border of the country to try and contain this caravan this group of people and as you've been seeing in the video the guatemalan authorities saying that in kobe we can have this large number of people going through the country been doing the same they said that no one can get through without a covert test so the authorities in both countries before the u.s. are going to do all that they can to stop this group of people now with the desperation on the other side of these people trying to get through remains to be seen if that's going to be enough john heilemann reporting live from mexico city john many thanks days. when donald trump took office he said that he a pained u.s. immigration policy that he believed was weak and unfair to americans and the u.s. border with mexico became his biggest focus of zeros what is your castro takes

a look at his legacy that. a racist description of mexican immigrants marked donald trump's for magic entrance to the presidential race in 2016 they're bringing drugs they bring in ron they're rapists he then bowed to build a border won't really get a bill that mexico's going to pay for the little helping to attract a base of mostly white working class supporters whose fears of america's growing diversity contributed to trump's when from this day forward it's going to be only america 1st american 1st the wall truck built though bill far short of what he promised these prototypes never advanced past the testing pace 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 flee 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 better agents took more than $4000.00 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 is 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 program pretty. young undocumented immigrants could remain now a new panel of justices including 3 appointees in the coming months will hear challenges to trump border policies heidi joe castro al-jazeera washington well here's a look at what joe biden's promised when it comes to migrants doesn't want to tension centers along the mexico border he opposes the highly controversial policy of locking up children it also doesn't want parents and children to be separated he says he will also hold halfords to build donald trump's now infamous border wall that money will instead be used for better screening of screening of migrants funds for also go towards helping migrants arriving at the border by also promised together with other regional leaders within his 1st $100.00 days in office to come

up with a more permanent solution is also promised changes for migrants already in the u.s. he's expressed support for daca a program meant to protect the children of undocumented immigrants he's also announced an immigration reform bill which will create a pathway to citizenship for $11000000.00 undocumented people let's bring in ben the reverse who is the executive director of last america immigrant advocacy center she joins us now via skype from el paso texas near the border with mexico good to have you with us and what do you make of of joe biden's plans for immigration to go far enough. and that's something that we are all hopeful for that this will go further we right now what we're dealing with under the trumpet militant ministration of some of the cruelest policies that we have ever seen implemented to essentially stop asylum so we know that the rebuilding has to start immediately and not only rebuilding but we also hope to see expansion for

protections for people who need it so at the very least you're hoping for a more compassionate approach to the of the issue. absolutely compassionate humane moving away from the idea of. immigrants and refugees as a national security risk and the united states treating starting to treat people with true humanity is something that we are strongly advocating for and to hear the bite of administration began to plan for example to turn back the n.p.p. or remain in mexico program where thousands of asylum seekers were sent to mexico into dangerous situations is and it's a very promising start going to this issue of not wanting to continue to have anything to do with a policy that separates children from their parents absolutely

we need to stop this policy and additionally start to reunite some of these families especially those families many of them who have been deported without their children and face to face indefinite separation these are families that you know we in our past so have identified have been working with. so unfortunately was the pilot program for family separation so we knew families separated since 2017 we hope to bring them into the spotlight we hope that the by an administration will begin to reunite these families to try and we store so much that they have lost and what they have endured what about the contentious issue of of financial help for migrant. guess well you know that the 1st step is we need to figure out how to help migrants in a way where they are not forced into dangerous situations to migrate we know that

the laws up asylum that we already have in our country allow for asylum seekers to have a process to work we want to reject detention for asylum seekers because that this is this is important for them to began there to truly be welcomed into our country we believe that that is that is where we need to start as we said a few moments ago joe biden is promising to gather with other regional leaders within his 1st 100 days in office to to hammer out some sort of long term solution and what should that solution look like because as far as neighboring countries are concerned. absolutely well the responsibility has to lie within the united states we saw under the trumpet ministration for far too long that the pushing of asylum seekers into mexico even into their countries as the 3rd country agreements allowed for certain asylum seekers to be sent to countries that have
