now you take it out is the. president and current affairs that matter to you. down to 0. more national guard troops pour into washington d.c. reinforcing an enormous security operation a little over 24 hours before joe biden becomes us president. again i'm peter w. watching al-jazeera live from our headquarters here and also coming up was. a wall of security in guatemala stops thousands of refugees and migrants trying to reach the u.s. many say they will press on. with cemeteries filling up and hospitals close to

breaking point brazil's coded 19 banks a nation program finally begins its. record sentence a thai woman is ordered to spend more than 4 decades in prison for insulting the king. u.s. president all from into his final full day inside the white house he has a long list of possible pardons to grant before snubbing the inauguration of his successor joe biden and leaving for florida washington d.c. is a militarized zone ahead of the swearing in on weapons day soldiers and police there and in other u.s. cities are tasked with preventing any repeat of the attack by it from supporters on capitol hill earlier this month alan fischer joins us live from the bureau in washington allan just take us through the choreography of the big day tomorrow. well there's going to be 2 events essentially what you have is the departure of one

president and then the inauguration of another donald trump the 1st president not to attend the inauguration of a successor since 869 and andrew johnson who is also a president who was impeached by congress so donald trump will leave the white house he wore head to andrews air force base just outside washington d.c. there his aides have arranged a military sendoff there will be trips to inspect there is the possibility of a $21.00 gun salute there is also the distinct possibility of a military fly past than donald trump will ascend a red carpet which will be laid out especially for him on to air force one and he will fly off to florida which of course he will remain president until just before midday on wednesday over on the other side we have joe biden who will stay at blair house just across from white house with his wife dr jill biden they will then take the trip up to capitol hill and they will be sworn in among the tightest security there will ever seen for an inauguration of course what is missing this time around

is the traditional visit to the white house for tea and coffee before the ceremony and then the 2 presidents heading off together for the peaceful transition of power also missing we are told this time around has been the normal meeting between the 1st ladies because normally there is a little discussion she gets to meet the staff they can talk about how they want the house all to run all of that sort of thing all of that has gone so this is nor means an ordinary inauguration of course security incredibly tight $25000.00 national guard and the f.b.i. on heightened alert because they say that while there is no specific threat there certainly chatter that there could be one or 2 attempts at isolated incidents either on the parade route near the inauguration or to disrupt the inauguration itself getting close to anywhere near the inauguration will be incredibly difficult because of the secure. measures that you've talked about certainly the f.b.i.

the secret service who are overall charge of this operation taking no chances do we have any more clarity allan on the precise timing of mr trump's movements in as much as it seems a little bit flexible there seems to be a little bit of elasticities in there. well i'm sure they're trying to nail it down even as we speak we nor it's going to be some time our own mid morning they put out a call for people who wanted to go to andrews air force base and see the president off then they should be there somewhere around $715.00 that's normal the people in place several hours before what is interesting is that anthony scaramucci remember him he was the communications. at the white house for 13 days before he was fired and since then has been a very fierce critic of donald trump well he got an invite to ask if he would like to go along to andrews air force base and be part of the crowd part of the the farewell to donald trump his view was that look if i'm getting an invite for this

they're struggling to fill that and of course before that we've got donald trump and on tuesday we're expecting to see somewhere in the region of a 100 pardons we know that officials were going through the list or on monday the concern 2 concerns 1st of all what names can they publicize in the local areas to show that this is donald trump acting with some degree of compassion to people who were perhaps unfairly given long sentences the other thing they're looking through is are there any potential problems here that would peel off republican support because of course he has got the impeachment hearings coming up airlie in the new senate term early in joe biden's term so it'll be interesting to go through those names and just one other thing peter just in the last couple of hours or so i've been speaking to a few people and they suggest that we may get a farewell message from donald trump by no means certain at the moment but it seems like the sort of thing that donald trump would want to do to grow over what he sees

as the huge successes of his time in office and some would suggest he's perhaps laying the groundwork for a run in 2024 that's of course if he's not barred from office by the senate after the impeachment hearings. difficult to remember the last time an outgoing u.s. president's about the dummy if you will and didn't go to the inauguration of his incoming replacement do you think the trump family may live to regret that decision because that will be one big thing that people remember i mean it must be what more than 506070 years ago that you have to go that far back to get to the last time there was just the inaugurated president up there in front of the capitol building without the out to going president. 869 and 2 johnson was the man that was the guy who didn't show up to his. successor's inauguration will the trunk family regret it i think the trunk family at the moment

are desperately trying to calculate what the future looks like for them they perhaps had an idea that they were going to go to florida dawn junior was considering a career in politics certainly becoming a powerful fundraiser for republicans all over the country of anchor there was talk of her possibly running against marco rubio and a republican primary and running then for senate in florida all of that up in the air simply because there is a concern at the moment and it's only just under 2 weeks since the protests and the riots at capitol hill there is a concern that the trump brand is toxic and may be for some time it mean need a period of decontamination it may need that but you've got to remember more than 70000000 people voted for donald trump a lot of people turned up to washington just to peacefully protest almost 2 weeks ago and there are still a lot of people across the united states who believe that donald trump is still the

legitimate president and should be again thanks for that i knew you would know the date 869 good man thanks alan talks. when the security forces in guatemala have blocked thousands of refugees migrants from central america from trying to reach the united states traveling in a big group known as a caravan they reach the town of god or honda for a fierce wall of resistance awaited them here's john coleman. was the moment guatemalan police broke up a caravan of thousands of people from honduras. who were trying to get to us but they hadn't made it far just about their own door to turn 50 kilometers into what a mile of the 1st country in the room. and security forces stopped them on saturday saying they needed covert tests. some papers to pass since then they've been camped out on the highway well a huge traffic jam filled up behind them. now the lorries are running again but the problems of these people remain

a result. this is one of the poorest and most violent countries in latin america 2 massive november storms make things worse there are many we don't how they work there is no food there isn't anything we're keeping up the fight the government doesn't save the president one orlando has been criticized for his handling of the economy the rule of law democracy so you're not going to if the president doesn't want us to leave why doesn't he give us quicken a good salary his increasing taxes and christie bills the price of gas for the sellers are rubbish. given all the many say they'll go on but they'll find it hard to do so as a group and even if they make it is far as mexico this is waiting for them others are being bussed back to honduras a place they say they left because they have nothing john home and. after weeks of setbacks brazil has started its nationwide coronavirus vaccination

to this summer's virtual democratic national convention featuring diverse voices and musical performances authorities say the security perimeter in downtown d.c. is larger than previous inaugurations and will be in place for longer far more national guard members have been deployed on the national mall where in the past the public has gathered to watch proceedings on large screens plays dc's matters are asked for all permits for gatherings to be declined but inaugurations are traditionally times for political protest. and it's clear that since police were overrun by trump supporters on cap. but the hill authorities already have a different posture towards demonstrations this protest attracted barely 50 people protesting against the republicans who supported donald trump and yet a very very quickly masses of police appeared followed by the national guard not far behind. at least some plans of protests by progressives on inauguration

sentence was delivered at a time of protests calling for the monarchy to be reformed and the political system overhauled before being sentenced the woman known only as and chan said she understood the gravity of what she had done. so i didn't really think it through and was too confident and not being careful enough to realize it at the time that it was appropriate this is a big lesson for me. from bangkok scott who explains the likely reason for such a heavy sentance. well looks like they're making an example of her yet 43 years the longest sentence for these of royal defamation laws here very very strict the strictest in the world and what's interesting is that there's a pattern to this usually when there they go through this fairly lengthy court process this is been going on for about 6 years now usually toward the end when there's a sentencing there's negotiations on a term a sentence and then

a girl guilty plea is submitted and usually that sentences have been that's what we've been seeing here 43 years the longest term sentence i should say before this was 35 years so yes that's what is she's going to serve if she serves that entire time that would be left to be determined we know that sometimes there will be some clemency and that they will be released early but right now it's clear that they're making they the establishment both the monarchy and the government here is making a sending a message by the sentencing today while the world's attention has been focused on corona virus and developing a banksy there's another big health problem that hasn't gone away resistance to antibiotics the ukase oxford university is getting $135000000.00 grant to help find solutions more than a half 1000000 people die every year from bacteria that existing drugs cannot defeat a new bacteria and infections are growing more resistant it's been 25 years now

since a new generation of antibiotics was introduced but another factor is that antibiotics are overused misused or overprescribed timothy walsh is a professor of medical microbiology he says the whole way we consume antibiotics must change. we actually use the same antibiotic think human medicine as we do for good promotion in animals around the world and that's actually where resistance is often is not driven so we want to have a complete rethink we want to approach it in an entirely different way and we want to start putting normal anti micro bills into animals there by relieving the use of human antibiotics from animals and so we have a series of programs and one of which is also to design new drugs force human infections where resistance is very high in low income countries that the availability of antibiotics is crazy. and so we have to have

a global campaign and that's why also we we also have a policy and the party to chip in policy mapped into this institute you know and this gift by the aussies is fantastically generous and unprecedented but it gives us the freedom to also talk to these organizations about being joined up because there's no point for example in the united kingdom as having very strict anti microbial stewardship policy which we do and yet on the other hand we're using the same antibiotic in farms the same stuff they sure are for go or even in europe we can't we cannot go on doing what we're doing it is actually madness heavily armed carrying flags and shouting slogans gun rights activists a rally in the u.s. states but ginia event trying to far right groups who are increasingly hostile towards the government put a went and spoke to them in richmond. is the annual lobby dame virginia
