coming designed to be. the only solution for a child as young as 10 months of age and inspire you to see the world from a different perspective on al jazeera. al-jazeera. the in. a low i maryam namazie a watching the news hour live from london coming up in the next 60 minutes back in russia back under arrest russian opposition leader alexina volley is detained in moscow shortly after returning from. inside the washington d.c. green zone in the security preparations now in place for joe biden's inauguration. security forces are overwhelmed in guatemala as

a massive migrant caravan continues its journey north towards the united states. and in sport more than 7 seats on his players american strict scoring so you know how to feel. follows a positive coronavirus test on the 3rd flight heading to the tournament. hello welcome to the news hour a top story russian opposition politician alexina volley made it no further than possible control before being arrested on returning to his homeland he landed in moscow on a flight from balin where he'd been treated after a poison attack might have been ordered by president putin now the u.s. in the e.u. are demanding his immediate release or a challenge as our point. if you take a particular talk with her. sent to survive

a probable state sanctioned poisoning and then returned to the country you believe tried to kill you the country or you face imminent arrest but alexina valmy never gave the slightest suggestion he would do anything else following months of recuperation in germany alexei and wife yulia took their seats on a moscow pound plane from berlin it might be. but it's been a monopoly boy bring us a little vodka we're flying home says yulia quoting a much loved russian gangster movie it's a number on the whole mark that he and his family make light of the many dangers they face and what he faced was jail on arrival it violated his suspended sentence by leaving russia to receive life saving treatment he makes a choice is a brave man because he always pretended he's a brave man who. or has no fear before that gorgeous it's not for iraq he has no fear of law and order machine

now it's the time to prove. prove these claims. and show the deeds that's why if he states brought. well he diminishes his claims of being well number one and pray for position at the airport where he was due to land police detained members of his team of 3 supporters out around his playing was then diverted to another moscow airport away from the crowds after landing he spoke to the journalists who traveled with him yeah absolutely was not him i am not afraid i feel ok we can free immigration i will pass it and go home because i know that i am right and i don't need a criminal case against me have been forged so scary story that they have tried to scare me wave it is not only the truth by my side but also to quote. but at passport control after

a goodbye kiss with his wife police led the valley away the kremlin denies the f.s.b. had any role in last year's novacek poisoning that nearly kills the opposition leader but now it seems likely russia will jail around me for surviving it will reach alan's how to 0. there is a visiting senior research fellow at king's college london and a russian analyst joins us now from london by skype so 5 months after being poisoned alexina valley is back in moscow would the kremlin have preferred him not to return. absolutely or they would have preferred you to become a political dissident last. night you would think the weight not being batted around them and what our russian public and i only have to challenge. president not only by throwing looking out into the funeral. home so very difficult balancing act then perhaps the russian authorities because they wasted no

time in arresting him he was barely through passport control when that happened and stopping is supporters for meeting him as well but if they are too harsh with him particularly after he's been after what he's been through perhaps that could be seen as a sign of weakness on their part. not quite the attitude that seeped the arrant they may be actually generating how really what killing it is how much political traction he generates but the acting their fear all now by me and forces around them so now they do not have what options all options which i and then disposal considerable drop. to the west is all that is making statements that this is an acceptable that they will be sanctions of their relations will turn from bad to worse sell out that there is a little tourist could be done last technically it again letting him go well he's

not going to look just keep signing the skill down his campaigning he will piss you off because he's a man with a mission he will go for it. what they will going to do is trying to make some kind of deal with him and that's where the tension comes they will try to. presenting him with the same kind of option that in return what you see fit to answer while he will. his criticism here will stay within some kind of on high end . or fairly at kind of benign. but how receptive how receptive is he likely to be to that the election of alan what could be a very important significant year for the country russians voting for a new parliament. not only has a force of personality he has parents much he is on one hand and on the right hand

man what you see when peeling tool ordinary people yeah. he has also a russian wife who is going to mainstream russia. it's you speaks very well he commands authority most importantly he believes that there are issues on the verge of political transformation he also believes that he is to play a major role in kind of transformation and lastly you know has almost political courage now past and current who will make that kind of step that not everybody will think. obviously we're about to see the inauguration now of president elect joe biden which is. imminent now how how is a by the ministration going to handle russia or what will their approach be. every point of the biden and miss creature is going to be more hostile towards

russia. has been the other thing is that by and his people would have a very full agenda the mastic so much time and energy they can actually dedicate their national. probably not that much relations with europe much more it wasn't the right match for. what a lot of it's they've lost 3 in the pipeline to germany. it's actually project up what us president said he would not want to see undermined german government chancellor merkel made it quite clear that she sees a connection so it is europe which in most is now more one of the up and rather than by then the frankly speaking expect to be. there there from king's college london thank you thank you. you're watching the

news hour live from london much more still ahead on the program still trapped at home ugandan opposition leader bobby weinstein pledged to fight the election results. one vehicle so stop for my life. as eighty's businesses suffer and fail in lock down the government could suffer as well and then later for a dangerous turn in the race to compete in this year's america's cup and you'll have that story a bit later. washington d.c. is under a security lockdown as police in the military prepare for possible unrest ahead of the presidential inauguration the u.s. capitol and all the key buildings have been surrounded by barricades with streets closed off and the national guard deployed the f.b.i. is warned of more protests by supporters of president donald trump who believe joe

biden wasn't just in any elected in the prospect of violence of course now the city's mayor says she's concerned that unrest could actually move away from government buildings and break out in residential areas so i'm not i'm not only concerned about their state capitals i'm also concerned about other parts of washington d.c. what sure showing it's really the federal enclave of washington d.c. now we're at the 700000 of us live so our police department working with our federal law enforcement partners and the united states army quite frankly i also has a plan to hit if we have any attacks in our neighborhoods. he joins us live now from washington tell us what is happening there security measures that are being put in place to prevent an outbreak of violence. well washington d.c. really looks like

a militarized fortress at the moment as of this morning sunday morning there were about 111000 national guard who had to ready arrived in this city that number is probably higher by now because over the next few days thousands more boring in this should be about 25000. here in the capital you know gratian day on wednesday i mean wherever you drive around you will see these checkpoints like this quite big road blocks this is a road. to capitol hill and when you get closer to capitol hill well there's another roadblock there because that is the so-called red zone and no one is allowed in there usually you would have a lot of tourists or people walking around those areas well capitol hill the proximity of the white house the national mall where usually only grecian do you have the crowds well all of that has been completely sealed off and you do need

a special permission to go there and as you heard earlier from the mayor of d.c. she's not only concerned about this but she's concerned also about what could have happened in the larger. is also security measures that have been taken there for example some of the bridges have already had some partial closures there will be 4 of the main ones in the state of virginia into the district of columbia will be shut down the day before integration to the day after inauguration and also they're watching very closely who is coming in by. air we are told. that they're actually looking at the list of passengers on. there also more marshals on on board those flights coming to the area is this sort of atmosphere of a country. just to give you a comparison at the inauguration of president trump there were about 8000 national

guards. so we will have 3 times more for president elect joe biden even though they would merely be there will be very few people there because of the coronavirus and the president as the president elect has said clearly to people to stay away from the inauguration though we hear from the secret service telling people to stay away to not be under stress to try to avoid any kind of area where there is any kind of tension the secret service are actually calling the inauguration and national security special event and they will be in charge of the security here in washington d.c. in the days to come leading to the immigration and the day after it's really extraordinary isn't it thank you so much harder in washington. looking beyond inauguration day joe biden has promised swift action on really

a number of issues including migration an executive order will be signed on the day itself to reverse president trump's ban on arrivals from 13 muslim majority countries he said he'll immediately send a bill to congress outlining a route to citizenship for the so-called dreamers $11000000.00 people living in the united states illegally but his teams admitted it will take longer to change trump's asylum restrictions including raising the yearly cap on refugees from 15002125000 there's also a promise to create a task force to reunite hundreds of children separated from their parents under trump's 0 tolerance policy on illegal border crossings. well an early test of biden's intentions could come in the form of unlikely cameron that's carney travelling towards the united states thousands of migrants from honduras still heading north despite attempts by law and authorities to push them back police

fired tear gas and formed human wall to try and stop them but the crowds remained to time and to reach that goal the u.s. border john hollinger reports. a confrontation between guatemalan security forces and thousands of people from honduras trying to cross the country and eventually reach the u.s. . that's a tear gas canister. this 6000 people traveling what to modern authorities estimate that makes this one of the biggest caravans from honduras since they began in 2018 but. police tried to stop them on the border. authorities said they wouldn't let anyone him without a code test all the right papers they called this a danger to a country already struggling with a pandemic. but they got through these people are desperate to know if my goal is to reach the united states why because of the level of crime that we have in this country because of the lack of work the lack of education because of

extreme poverty. and duress was already one of the poorest the most violent countries in latin america but 1st the pandemic and then to massive storms in november have made things worse. there also traveling at a moment when joe biden is about to be inaugurated as the new u.s. president many see him as more sympathetic to asylum seekers but the acting customs and border protection chief really told these people not to waste their time or money on the trip he says any change in administration makes no difference to the rule of law i even that message didn't get to them or more likely the 2 desperate to listen. we go to developments in uganda now the opposition leader for the wine is saying he is still under effective house arrest as his party pledges to challenge his election last wind hasn't been seen in public since going out to vote on thursday and says soldiers and police are surrounding his home the singer turned

politician fail in his bid to prevent long term president yarima severi from winning a 6th term in office which was announced on saturday he's accusing the government of ballot box stuffing and violence. these are some of the latest tweets from bubby whine on his situation he is saying that it's now 4 days since the military surrounded our home and placed my wife and i under house arrest we have run out of food supplies and when my wife tried to pick food from the garden yesterday she was blocked and assaulted by the soldiers staged in our compound now at least 83 people have been killed in fighting between rival tribal groups in sudan's darfur region according to state media buildings were also burned down in the city of allegheny nina the capital of west for stay the violence broke out over a dispute between different tribes with local officials saying armed groups were involved which further escalated the situation there is have

a morgan has more now from sudan's capital hearts him. renewed intercom in old violence in the western region of darfur this time in the west are far in the capital janina has raised questions on the ability of the transitional government to be able to secure and stabilize a region that has been torn and marred by 17 years of conflict that did not end to last november when most of the armed groups fighting in the region signed a peace deal with the transitional government on saturday verbal clashes between 2 individuals from opposing tribes led to violence that left at least 2 people killed and several injured state authorities said that it has imposed a curfew and still further notice and also our security forces to use force if necessary to control the situation now at the same time another incident unfolded and attacked by armed groups on a displacement camp led to the deaths of dozens and displacement of people who are living in the camps due to the 17 years of conflict and who once again found themselves on the run being displaced seeking safety and refuge now this raises

questions on whether this is the result of a vacuum that has been left by the african union united nations peacekeeping mission which was known as the in the med and which its mandate and that on the 31st of december people in the region are quite concerned they've been calling on the governments to to take control of the situation some of them even calling for disarmament because they say the region is washed with weapons due to the years of conflict but they also say that they are worried with the withdrawal of the intimate and with so many insecurities happening so many intercom and clashes happening that the government may not be able to control the situation and that they may need other a 3rd party to be able to control the situation until the transitional government can step up and provide them with the safety and security they need. now italy's government could collapse this week with the prime minister giuseppe conti facing a vote of no confidence over the economy state of the economy during the lockdown and you emergency decree means lock down regulations have now been extended and it's having a devastating impact on businesses which have barely made it through the last year

stephanie deck reports from run. through most of the last challenging year madhu's at 5 he has kept his family run thai shop open now he says it wasn't worth it something like a tragedy i want to be catastrophic but i have. thousands of euros and with the bank with my parents who help me. room is a city that is heavily dependent on tourism and so is the world stopped travelling due to the coronavirus the once bustling in vibrant italian capital has ground to a halt to have these world famous sites almost all to yourself would have been unthinkable simply played possible year ago and even though it may be a privilege to see the curvy fountain without the usual hordes

a tourist this is unprecedented and tells the story just how desperate the economic situation here has become such a vaccination campaign is underway and the government says at least 1000000 people have already been inoculated it's giving some hope but most people say they know it's not a quick fix italy is one of the worst of congress on both counts the number of birth and the economic impact what we do know is that the economic effect of all this is going to be very tough and that is going to get out will be. almost unmanageable public that that's a certainty. what is uncertain is this country's political future ziplock on to the prime minister is facing 2 votes of confidence early this week after one of his coalition parties pulled its ministers out of his cabinet it could lead to a political crisis at a time when the country needs at least lockdown measures of recently been extended

meaning restaurants and bars need to remain shut and a nighttime curfew extended for at least another month. italy is defined by a food and wine culture and restaurant owners are desperate i feel like 11th wrong for go. so nothing's changed. nothing nothing some time i feel like a stupid because i say i spend the tour. here why why yes paying the toy and say here is a possible one vehicle so stop of my life. like so many other italians tibetans left worried about mounting debts continued restrictions and no idea when it will end stephanie decker or just 0. news from afghanistan now government a shot dead 2 female judges working for the country's supreme court they haven't

been named but the court says they were attacked on their way to work the latest in a series of high profile killings in the afghan capital government officials blame the taliban an allegation the group denies and as a solid reports judges are just one group but are now being targeted. when 24 year old has below is waiting for his father to come home due to his fragile mental health he doesn't understand that has done robert dillon exult has been murdered. exult was the head of those these journalists union and his salary supported his 5 sons 2 daughters and elderly parents now one of us other sons who's not even reached his teens will have to step into that role. as the save it was the smallest my child is only 12 years old now he is the breadwinner for our family his father was trying his best to educate them he loved his children i call on the government and all other organizations to help our children these kids need their

books no books and we must pay utility bills the youngest need milk and the eldest need medicine. exam is one of 6 journalists killed in the last 2 months his father says the government needs to provide protection for the sake of future generations . i'm old and weak now i can't even see properly as i can't work i'm asking the government and others to help these children nick saad was not a government employee and he was not a warlord who killed others he was a journalist. rights activists journalists and politicians are increasingly being targeted the government says it's made arrests after the killings but unions are demanding justice i said has claimed responsibility for the 2 murders 2 cases of murders. however the investigations about the killing of the 6 journalists have not been completed the campaign of assassination

of journalists has resulted in the creation or replace of us. among journalists and media workers and afghanistan some journalists have left the country and the rest operate under extensive shadow of fear. this is very very concerning for us because if the current trend of assassination of journalists does not stop soon. we will lose one of the greatest achievements of half going to 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 though hurt but with a new u.s.

administration about to take charge all sides are biding their time according to a u.s. taleban 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 would have more of a condition based approach where they will really look into their commitments made in the door hard remained 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 of guns continue to live daily i mean insecurity and lawlessness makes its children like many others in a gun is done with the ultimate price paid by some just for doing their job some of the job it does their. more still ahead for you on the knees our power from the paddy fails the indian manufacturing is turning straw into electricity.

welcome back our main stories now russian opposition politician alexina valley has been detained after he arrived back in moscow following treatment in germany for a poison attack last year his plane was redirected to another of the city's airports away from crowds of his supporters who gathered to meet him. a minute's rise green zone has been established in the u.s. capitol with fears of violence ahead of the presidential inauguration 25000 national guard troops have been deployed to washington d.c. . and security forces in guatemala as you sticks and tear gas to try and stop a caravan of thousands of migrants heading north through the country between $7.80 people are for trying a foot to be trying to reach the united states. let's get more on this story now

john home and joins us live from mexico city and we're seeing images earlier on of . really scuffles between the thousands of under and migrants who are with guatemalan police who really seem to be overwhelmed what do we know about the movements now whereabouts are they. they're in the same place i actually am by the on the which is a small village that's about 45 kilometers from the border between honduras and guatemala so the people that were coming out from honduras haven't managed to get that far and i think in the images you seem to see the police and the army perhaps that line be broken as it were but that didn't in fact happen in general about 6000 people that's what the guatemalan migration institute is saying still there in that village small groups have been able to break off and make their way to the border between guatemala and mexico but the vast contingent of that caravan is still in

the village now it's going to be even harder for them as they try to go through guatemala there's not just the block there for them there's also other checkpoints all the way up through the country and then even if they manage to get to the border with mexico mexico is actually sent its national guard to the the river that's the border between guatemala and mexico to try to stop them getting across there now this isn't anything new we've seen this happen with caravans in the past it's actually been pretty hard for them to get to the u.s. border and that's been part of president donald trump strategy he hasn't been able to complete his his big beautiful wool as he's called it but he has managed to sort of externalise u.s. security and get the countries further south to try and stop migrants even before they get there so we'll have to see what happens this time but all of the signs are that it's repeating the same sort of pattern that we've seen already now why these people leaving honduras if they know what's happened in past caravan's well in those then there were 2 massive storms that hit central america that hit parts of

honduras a major an already poor country a country that's already struggling with endemic violence into an even worse state and a lot of people are suffering because of that there might also be a factor here in which that the incoming president joe biden has sort of rolled out a more sympathetic stance towards asylum seekers. yes some people might be seeing more hope now the art think chief for customs and border protection in the u.s. has said there's going to be no change in the rule of law and that people who are going in the caravan basically they're wasting their time and they waste their money by setting out who so that's the u.s. is starts that message is even not getting through or i was in the past people are so desperate they're willing to just make a break for any way thank you john heilemann in mexico city now the end of every u.s. presidential term the outgoing administration hands over to the incoming one but

this time around the transition has been far from conventional president donald trump promised as smooth transfer of power but so far hasn't contacted joe biden and a reluctance to accept the election result also delayed the speed at which the transition could take place there's also concern about record keeping within the administration it's a legal requirement that president trump is reported to have ripped up documents after use west wing personnel have also admitted to using unofficial platforms things like whatsapp for their communications ethics campaign is a saying screenshots of messages alone don't constitute a full record and with a 2nd impeachment already underway and talk of other lawsuits to come any action could be hindered by a lack of evidence to prove or disprove guilt richard in i'm an intimate is a former u.s. intelligence official and now a history professor at temple university in philadelphia joins us from there via skype just to be clear about this and you concerned about the quality of record

keeping by the trump of ministration or is it more about attempts to conceal or destroy that those records. well it's it's actually both. certainly from everything that we know the record keeping of the trump administration has been extremely lax and there has been none of the effort to rigorously we came the records that the law requires on top of that there have also been many instances where we've multiple instances of reports of the destruction of records both being ripped. apart being confiscated by the president and others so it's very difficult to be encouraged by the prospect or optimistic about the prospect of a complete record. how could this affect investigations of president trump related to this 2nd impeachment and then also if there are

a federal inquiries from the state of new york where their investigations and to trumpet a happening. while could seriously impede that obviously if there are investigations whether it be in just all system or in congress there will be an effort to collect as much evidence as possible as to what transpired because of the pattern of the trumpet ministration i think it is very doubtful that whoever is doing the investigating is going to be able to acquire collect all that evidence and certainly the most damning evidence which is in one doubt it really was the trumpet ministration has concealed if not destroyed can you clarify what's required of hand the cony because the presidential records act that i think you just referred to says that he can't actually see qantas stroy any records until he seeks

the advice of the archivist and notifies congress that there's nothing to compel him to to heed that advice. but that that's absolutely correct the presidential advice and there are actually now efforts to strengthen it it's much less stringent than the federal records act as you use the operative word that the archivist can advise the president as to what is a record and what needs to be preserved but can only advise 'd cannot compel and the president therefore 'd has a great deal of discretion as to what constitutes a record already the court has judged that for example a twit a tweet is a record but this was after the trumpet ministration had deleted a number of tweets so. as i say the party the president the presidential records act provides for

a great deal of discretion on the part of the president as to what he is legally required to rigging. why these records and how are they used by successive presidents apart from the fact that the destruction of wreckless creates that historical vacuum you speak about how could it affect joe biden whether there are a number of ways but the most immediate is the biden administration will confront a number of crises. there's the economic crisis and there is the pandemic crisis at home there are also quite a number of international crises abroad. we can talk about korea or the middle east or wherever one wants to to russia and in terms of the transition it's important for the biden administration to be able to hit the ground running in addressing these problems and that requires having as much inside as possible as to what the

foundation has been laid in terms of the trumpet ministration they can't just sort of jump into the middle of a negotiation or they can't jump into the middle of a row out of the vaccine without knowing what has been done before. it was arranged to thank you professor richard and them and joining us my pleasure thank you. now for the 1st time a palestinian court is hearing a case against an israeli settler while it might be a step forward the process itself is fraught with legal problems. from the occupied west bank. was that an effort has been trying to build his house for the past 8 years but he hasn't been able to he says israeli settlers regularly attacked the building in the occupied west bank so he filed a lawsuit against one of them but in what is believed to be the 1st case of its

kind it's a being heard in a palestinian court not an israeli one his house is located the village he says problems began after 2 illegal israeli settlement outposts were built in the area during the past decade. or 7 kilometers towards my house and tell me that i am in the settlements lands this is mile and when i insist on building my house some strange you. never his lawyers say this is the 1st lawsuit to be brought against an israeli settler in a palestinian court they have been able to bring the case as the sutler has dual nationality it followed a decision by the palestinian president to dissolve agreements signed with israel. relations with israel are later restored but palestinian authority officials still encourage plaintiffs to seek legal action over little palestinian courts do not have jurisdiction over israelis they care to look into cases against dual citizens

but it's unclear how any order by this court would be implemented the court is finding it difficult to serve the staff there with the writ and al-jazeera was unable to obtain details of his nationality identity or responds now after his lawyers say the case could establish ways for palestinians to achieve justice outside israeli jurisdiction. this could be a preliminary step when we have a final court order we can resort to regional or international courts one could even file for compensation in israeli courts. plus 10 years one the international criminal court in the hague or i.c.c. to investigate israeli settlement activity in 2019 the i.c.c. prosecutor said she believed there are grounds for opening an investigation into alleged war crimes in palestine this actually supports the prosecution's contention that the state of palestine does have jurisdiction over all or all

areas or all parts of its territory. and also over all people in its territory the i.c.c. is pretrial chamber has yet to rule in its jurisdiction in palestine but many palestinians say they have little faith that the court's decision will change the reality back in but he never says he plans to keep building his house no matter how many times it's vandalized. the occupied west bank. u.n. peacekeepers a saying they've retaken the central african republic city of. it was captured earlier this month by rebel forces demanding the resignation of the government now malcolm webb is in the capital bunky west security forces there repelled an attack by the rebels on wednesday with un said the rwandan peacekeeping troops were deployed there ahead of a potential operation and 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. 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 form the with or without the small towns they still control about 2 thirds of the country's territory and in it most of the country's diamond and gold mines but now it would be just a few kilometers down this road where there was fighting last week it has been reports of a build up of troops on 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 banga soup could in fact be for preparation for other cells here on the capital. well now to india where farmers and factory owners are getting creative with left of a stroll from the harvest season is that of disk that this is

a discarding waste they're actually using it to generate electricity as elizabeth brought and discovered an idea saved one businessman a $1000000.00 a year. a novel way to produce electricity in punjab leftover straw from some of the state's paddy fields is being burnt to generate power for a 50 acre industrial area. have got to be on a hunch says he began looking for cheaper and more environmentally friendly alternatives to pal his factories when petrol prices peaked in 2030 this is for our . viewers 200 percent on the back useful here but we are believe we are running this apprentice for an american form or we are generating high pressure steam and with the high prices we are going to follow. pays follows to collect paddy stroll for the factory is no shortage of it in the state which is one of india's biggest
