breaking point brazil's covert 19 vaccination program finally begins. at a record sentence thai woman is ordered to spend more than 4 decades in prison for insulting the king. the us president donald trump is having his final full day in the white house he has a long list of possible pardons to grant before snubbing the inauguration of his successor joe biden and then leaving for florida washington d.c. is a militarized zone ahead of the swearing in on what to say soldiers and police there and in other u.s. cities a tossed with preventing any repeat of the attack by trump supporters on capitol hill earlier this month. has not seen for this gabriel elizondo is on the streets of washington d.c. particle hate is standing by to tell us about the 1st confirmation hearings for

biden's incoming administration we'll go live to both often we speak to al-jazeera alan fischer can talk to us about what the president allen is up to on his final day in office. well he's at the white house maybe overseeing the packers we know that the 1st removal lawdy is actually arrived at mar a lago the rest will be moved very quickly after he leaves the building at some point mid-morning or in whedon's that he's heading to andrews air force base there he will see his farewells his aides have organized the small departure ceremony he will inspect some troops there is the possibility of a 21 gun salute there's also the possibility of a military fly past in some form he will then ascend a red carpet apparently he asked for that specifically he will get on air force one for his last flight as president and then he will take off to florida but in the meantime we're expecting pardons from the desk of the oval office apparently somewhere in the region of our own $100.00 officials were looking over them in the

last 24 hours they're looking for stories that they can highlight in local areas that might boost some republicans but they're also looking for potential problems names that might get some objections from republican senators don't try especially concerned about that because he doesn't want to leak support from the senate he's worried that he got 10 republican votes against him in the impeachment hearing last week he's worried about senators also jumping the fence and voting for his impeachment so that list going through very carefully as well the idea of him pardoning himself and some members of his family that apparently has gone away but as someone said to me because donald trump is well known to turn around very quickly and change his mind we're also being told there is the possibility no more than that the possibility that instead of an appearance in the briefing room or a national address of some kind the donald trump will in the way that he has done so many times throughout his presidency release a video which will heal the successes he sees as of his last 4 years there will be

nor a day no exceptions that he lost the election just praising what he did but what he won't mention is the fact that he didn't manage to do like you do. managed to unveil a comprehensive health care reform that was going to be cheaper and better than obamacare he didn't of course build a wall from sea to shining sea and didn't get the mexicans to pay for it he didn't get a new comprehensive deal with the iranians what use hoping to do he didn't get the nuclearized north korea and of course he also didn't release his tax returns having said that there are still 25 hours left to go alan fischer reporting live from washington for a moment alan many thanks indeed let's bring in critical hain then she's monitoring the confirmation hearings for that ministrations. incoming cabinet who includes treasury nominee janet yellen passy. exactly and this is highly unusual i'm looking at the capitol and all i can see is

police and national guard vehicles that's pretty unusual for an inauguration but it's also really really very different that we're just now seeing these confirmation hearings that's because there were so many republicans that refused for weeks and weeks to accept that donald trump lost the election then there was that runoff in georgia that keep control of the senate to the democrats so we're just now starting to see these confirmation hearings so up today we have as you mentioned janet yellen the 1st female treasury secretary she's expected to be confirmed fairly easily she's right now arguing with that to the senate that they need to do more to try and pump up this economy while they try to get the pandemic under control but we also have the director of national intelligence homeland security secretary of state treasury as i mentioned and defense so it's unlikely and this hasn't happened in decades but it's unlikely that they're going to be able to confirm these nominees before wednesday so what the biden team is going to do is they're going to put acting secretaries in place and hope for the confirmation in

the next couple of days it's going to be really telling so joe biden won office and has been through the transition saying hey he knows these guys he was a senator for decades that he can work with republicans so normally in normal times confirmations presidents get their nominees confirmed by a fairly wide margin so is there are the republicans going to play ball with joe biden this will be the 1st indication when we see just how many vote for the people he once in place we're also hearing on the hill that chuck schumer. mcconnell are going to meet this afternoon they're going to be hashing out the rules for the inauguration and that's going to be really interesting so biden's team has indicated they don't want to lose the momentum because people on the hill are still so incredibly viscerally angry about the fear and terror they experienced they don't want to wait for the impeachment but at the same time they want to be able to get some senate done so they're trying to negotiate that they could possibly do. some of the confirmations in the morning and then the senate trial in the afternoon so that's going to be a very important meeting so we're going to be watching to see what happens as the

day plays out they call him live in washington patty mentioned the unprecedented security operation in washington d.c. down on the streets is gabriel elizondo among all of that security more staff. yeah it's very quiet and it's really surreal quite frankly on any normal day a day before the inauguration you see thousands of people on the streets celebrating preparing for all of the events and pomp and circumstance but as you can tell washington d.c. is not a normal place right now we're just a couple blocks north of the white house and i just want to spin over here for a 2nd you get a sense of how quiet the streets are here right now with all of these roadblocks this is how it looks throughout all of washington d.c. throughout the entire city again we're only a couple blocks from the white house right now just in front of one of the many security zones here is you can see there there are some. national guard troops on

standby there also a car from the customs and border patrol as well on the other side of this vehicle and it just shows you how many different agencies have been taking part in this security it's not just the 25000 national guard troops but many many other agencies as well and as you see as we get closer to the white house again we're still several blocks away this is k. street right in front of me here you can see so many of the businesses here boarded up as we've been showing you over the past few days this is a scene we've seen throughout washington d.c. as well as so many businesses have just closed and boarded up and of course you see as we get closer the white concrete barriers there as nobody can really get past this period of. it's k. street very famous street here in washington d.c. where a lot of the lobbying firms are at that street is completely closed down so as you

can tell just give you another spin around here this is the scene of washington d.c. so far everything has been very quiet we've seen absolutely no protests or any any sort of any actions trying to disrupt anything as of now as is gabriel elizondo live in washington d.c. many thanks indeed. security forces in guatemala blocks thousands of refugees and migrants from central america trying to reach the united states traveling in a large group known as a caravan they reached the town of votto hondo where a fierce wall of resistance awaited them out as arrest john holmes reports. the moment guatemalan police broke up a caravan of thousands of people from honduras. was they were trying to get to the u.s. but they hadn't made it far just by the end of the town 50 kilometers into guatemala the 1st country on the route was security forces stopped them on saturday saying
