well it truly does look like a fortress certainly here in downtown d.c. now i'm here at one of the many checkpoints that you will see if you drive around the capitol there about 11000 national guards who have already arrived here now this checkpoint redefines the 1st paramita just. down there is a green zone so anyone who lives there who is working in that still has access now beyond that there's another checkpoint just at the foot of capitol hill there now that is the red zone and no one will be allowed in there except those who work in government or who have a special permit and that will be from now until thursday now it's not only did this area really that is there a lot of security you have also bridges that have been closed down for main ones that link the district of columbia to very junior will be closed ahead of the
8:03 pm
inauguration until the day after and the mayor of washington d.c. has actually said that the security concerns are not only here in this center city but also as elsewhere so. when you say that these demonstrations or these protests are expected elsewhere in the united states what sort of a arrangements a being made outside of the capitol you've got a fortress there in downtown d.c. but what's happening elsewhere in the country. well you have that exist this exact scene happening on a smaller scale in virtually all the capitals of the 50 states across the country we were in richmond just 2 days ago and we could see their preparations being made barry being elevated windows being boarded up now all this because the f.b.i.
8:04 pm
had said that it had credible intelligence and it had seen chatter on social media that indicated that they would be mass protests and that could be violent and you could have armed people under streets not only today but in the days leading up to do you know gratian now it's everybody's guess at this moment things do appear to be calm but of thirty's or taking no chances whatsoever actually the transportation security administration has also said that beefed up security on planes coming to washington d.c. that they're vetting the passengers that are getting on board that there will be more marshals on board so it's really you have this entire nation that is gearing up to a very heightened level of security the aim of it being that this inauguration of president elect joe biden which is now in 72 hours go by as peaceful as possible.
8:05 pm
by for us in washington. russian opposition leader alexina valley is flying home police have already detained his lawyer and some associates of the airport in moscow where he's supposed to land the kremlin critic supporters posted this video on lying saying it shows them being taken away they were waiting for the family to return from germany where he spent 5 months recovering after a nerve agent poisoning well this was not only as his flight was about to take off from berlin he's accused russia's government of making threats to arrest him in a bid to keep him coming from from coming home the valley also said the kremlin was responsible for his poisoning which it denies he spoke to journalists on the aircraft or. 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 live out of moscow alexander god is there for us so what's happening at the airport the felonies
8:06 pm
flight was supposed to have landed by now. yes indeed this flight home of navarre needs taking far longer then supposed. we have the information that that the plane that was supposed to land in of the airport one of 4 airports for civil aviation in moscow is being diverted to another airport should it make your airport it's another part of town of city of moscow now this information ease confirm the also on the arrivals timetable of the airport as well as by the airport itself there is however information coming from some russian media there quoting their own sources saying that if these possible that it's not even going to land on sort of major airport but might be they were tipped somewhere else in the meantime whilst we were waiting for another i need to lend police
8:07 pm
started arresting supporters of the vine the among the 1st arrested was his lawyer will solve all and according to the all the evil which is and then go that deals with the arrests and legal arrests at least 21 person has been detained a so far police has pushed out of the building of the airport most of the supporters and is allowing in the building of the airport only people who have boarding passes who can the prove that they are flying from this airport to tonight people are still as far as we know waiting for the on own nichelle airport despite the information being confirmed that the he might not be landing tonight there at all but in another place so one police there in such great numbers what threat to develop he represents to them what's he supposed to dump. well what the of the prison authorities are saying is that he violated. his probation which was
8:08 pm
a part of his suspended sentence that he didn't report himself to the prison or dorothy's as he was supposed to and that they didn't know his whereabouts or since september they they said but actual threat of the riley is basically the end this is call it is estimated here in russia with political analysts the kremlin there is elections coming in september here after he woke up from his comments started recovering he pointed to an accused the regular president of this country to be behind them to on on his life more over the authorities in the russia are saying that they didn't find the proof so far that there was a crime against another finally and all the proof that they were given they dismissed as non substantial of that they are not proving anything and they keep on denying that they had nothing to do with never mind these sickness or what as i
8:09 pm
said they're saying that there was no proof of a crime so this sort of turn is. seen as a brave more seen as a boost to deal positional movement here in russia and is there to say here i am i'm coming back home and i'm not afraid there were very few protests after election of ali was poisoned how will his supporters react if indeed he is arrested upon his return. well you see this is this is an interesting question him being once he when he was poisoned when he was in the coal mine there was really. just a couple of protests there were with the small numbers but the fact that he wants to return despite being threatened jail time and possible other charges for because he's being accused in the meantime of some other crimes and possible bankruptcy
8:10 pm
even the fact that he wants to come back and the risk that and show that he is a serious political year here at least to his supporters changes this situation it is kind of in baldwin in his supporters by his own example so if he does get the tension i mean we'll have to wait to see whether they're ready to once again flood the streets of moscow and other times like they did the 2 summers ago and they like they did that when he was charged and convicted in 2014 so it is a method of how brave they will feel to to express their support for him if this happens if he gets arrested and xander go for reporting live from moscow alexander many thanks did an early test of joe biden's immigration policy is this right bill heading towards the u.s. border as many as 6000 hondurans in the course of modern village votto honda making their way north police have fired tear gas and form human trying to stop the

8:12 pm
need a code test to get through the border along with other paperwork now these hondurans that are heading through there mostly from poor areas especially from some petal silver that's been struggling from poverty or from crime led violence lots of gangs there extorting and murdering the population a lot of them presumably aren't going to have those documents but they've still managed to force their way over the border and at the moment they're trying to get through guatemala 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 4 states el nino people have been fleeing the region after violence broke out over a dispute between different tribes and local civil society organizations says that armed groups are taking advantage of the quarrel but escalating is serious hippa morgan reports from car too. renewed intercom we know violence in the western
