football hooligan. can read all death on al-jazeera. in exactly 24 hours the presidency of donald trump comes to an end and joe biden takes over it'll be one of the most unusual transitions of power in u.s. history. a very and so they get this is al jazeera live from doha also coming up. a world of security in guatemala stops thousands of refugees and migrants trying to reach the u.s. many though say the price all. with 7 trees filling up in hospitals close to

breaking point brazil's covert 19 vaccination program finally begins a record sentence a thai woman is ordered to spend more than 4 decades in prison for insulting the king. so 24 hours from now joe biden will become the 46th president of the united states spot his inauguration ceremony will take place against the backdrop of an unprecedented security operation and a pandemic that's claimed almost 400000 lives in the u.s. biden will take the oath of office on the steps of the u.s. capitol just 2 weeks ago it was overrun by a mob of pro trump supporters it now resembles a fortress usually a crowd as an inauguration would likely stretch all the way back to the washington monument but with the double threat of security breaches and coronavirus flags will represent the americans who can't attend. in the thousands however will be police

and national guard they're expected to outnumber the attendees. here's the thing in this our part of the hamid is on the streets of washington d.c. patty culhane is standing by to tell us about the 1st confirmation hearings for biden's incoming administration but 1st let's go to alan fischer in washington who could tell us all about allen how the president is spending his last day in office . well we're expecting a flurry of announcements towards the end of the business day that would fit in with what we've seen over the last couple of days of course he'll be also overseeing the removal vans they'll have shown up at this point everything will start to get shifted out as soon as he leaves the white house heading to florida the 1st trucks have already arrived at mar a lago of course he's planning a departure ceremony that will be at andrews air force base just washington d.c. on wednesday at some point mid-morning he's not going to be at the inauguration 1st

president since $869.00 the to refuse to attend the inauguration of the man who beat him in the election there is going to be a small ceremony for him at andrews air force base his aides have organized that there will be an inspection of troops there's the possibility of a 21 gun salute that's still to be finalized and even the possibility of some sort of military fly past he will then take a red carpet which he's asked for and apparently has been granted and he will go up the steps to air force one for the short flight to florida and we're expecting him to spend the day issuing pardons more than 100 of them certainly are none did the white house spent number of hours going over the names on the list one to publicize the ones that they think should get more local attention but also looking at ones that might cause them a p.r. problem don't trump also casting an eye over those that might gather some resistance from republican senators he's want to make sure that they stay on side

because of course he's going to begin pietschmann hearing coming up in a couple of weeks those articles of impeachment still haven't been sent to the senate and there's talk no more than that at this moment that he is going to do a video message in the past presidents have held last minute news conferences in the briefing room at the white house this isn't going to happen with donald trump it could just be in keeping with so much of his presidency a message to supporters we're told that if he does do anything it will be to talk about the 6. says he believes he's had over the last 4 years but just remember some of the things that he promised that he hasn't yet delivered on he promised of course well before the presidential election in 2016 that he'd apply and for health care that would include a radical overhaul of obamacare it would be better and cheaper he said that never materialized infrastructure plan never materialized the plan to build a wall from sea to shining sea never materialized and of course mexico didn't pay for it there was going to be an effort to push iran back to the negotiating table

over the iran nuclear deal which the u.s. pulled out of that never happened and of course the 2 summits can jump to produce an unknown nuclear north korea again that never happened and also remember he promised that some point he would release his tax returns well he's got 24 hours to do it i don't think we're going to see them alan fischer reporting live there from washington let's go to patty culhane then alan's got the good job today he's in the warm patties out in the cold monitoring the confirmation hearings for biden's incoming administration including right now the former fed chair janet yellen. well you know adrian everything is unusual about this inauguration it's actually not freezing i don't remember ever cover an inauguration when at some point during the day i lost all feeling in my hands and feet but it's just a little bit would be a little bit brisk never before covering inaugurations i have to go through 2 national guard checkpoints and have my car checked out by a bomb sniffing dog yet here we are and another unprecedented thing is the day

before with 24 hours to go we are just now starting to see confirmation hearings for joe biden's team a lot of people on the hill right now we've got the director of national intelligence homeland security secretary of states coming treasury as you mentioned is talking the secretary of defense later this afternoon so why is this happening so late well let's not forget that there were dozens upon dozens upon dozens of republicans who simply refused to accept that joe biden didn't fact win the presidency and then there was that georgia runoff so it wasn't until early january that we knew that democrats would control the u.s. senate so it's been a really delayed but here we are so what is going to happen is they're going to have these hearings it seems unlikely and this is again hasn't happened in decades that they'll be confirmed by january 20th although i suppose it is possible that did happen with president barack obama in the meantime by the administration will appoint acting secretaries and boy were we going to see this is going to be a test for joe biden he campaigned and he still insists even though people think

he's a bit naive and even admits that people think that that he can work with senate republicans normally the president gets his pick of people and it's fairly fairly sizable vote so we'll see if republicans will be the 1st indication if they're going to be willing to work with the incoming president given the team that he wants in place to try and lead this government we also expect this afternoon on the hill possibly a meeting between. senator schumer's and senator mcconnell to figure out how they're going to proceed with this impeachment so a lot of stuff happening all around the hill but more importantly back inside of it . pedicle him live for us that in washington let's hear now from she had pretends he is going to run us through how joe biden's inauguration is going to very different from those of the past joe biden is calling on the public to stay away from inaugural events a request he'd already made due to the pandemic but one that's taken on added

emphasis since the rant of january the 6 no less seats have been installed on the west side of the capitol where biden will take the oath of office at noon on january the 20th it's clear that the president elect felt it was important that the entire inauguration not to be virtual i have not heard. i say here you're not. i know it's america where stand out stand up. enough enough enough but instead of some 200000 tickets just $1070.00 will be issued for members of congress and one guest along with v.i.p.'s that this year will include all living presidents except for 96 year old jimmy carter vice president mike pence says he will attend donald trump says he will not follow the ceremony and a military review biden will travel to allington national cemetery with the former presidents to lay a wreath at the tomb of the unknown soldier before being escorted to the white

house by the military government instead of the usual inaugural parade a televised and live streamed virtual parade will be broadcast that will be similar 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 or gratian 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 capitol 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 or. at least some plans of protests by progressives on inauguration day intended to pressure joe biden to the left have been cancelled our reprimand for people under all. that are under right wing white supremacy actors quited out with the full freight has created this problem the state needs to deal with it i'm not recommending personally but anyone to take a risk free and in any way. put themselves at risk as for the future they may dean block and others fear that even though authorities had existing laws and military equipment to clamp down on the violence capitol hill protesters the result will be even more restrictions and repression of legal dissent against those in power in the coming years she had her town see al-jazeera washington. so

unprecedented security clampdown in washington d.c. the city center has been divided into a red zone and a green zone to serious harm to his house on the streets of the u.s. capitol part of what's the latest. that's certainly do have this atmosphere of apprehension gearing only gratian tomorrow and just to give you an idea about how security services are worried about that they have been going through the very long task of vetting every single national guard who has been deployed to washington d.c. about 25000 of them should be in place by late this evening well we just heard now news from 2 news agencies here that tew of the national guard have actually been pulled out of day duties because of links with these far right extreme

groups. believed to be behind those riots that happened on january 6th and capitol hill now all along for the past week the f.b.i. has been warning that there could be. more attacks they could be violent protests with armed men not only here in washington d.c. but in the 50 capitals in the capitals of the 50 states across the country so certainly everybody is holding their breath hoping that this will. duration will go by peacefully but as i was speaking yesterday to a truck supporter quite a staunch supporter and he said that integration day will be very difficult for those who believe that this election was fraudulent to those who believe that trump is the legitimate president of this country said that he was fearing that some of the supporters might snap on today maybe not here in washington because of this heavy presence of national. guards and all sorts of. security measures put in place

but across the country as well others you speak ok even if integration goes by. what will happen after what will happen once all these $25000.00. back home. existed before you know gratian exist after the inauguration and the. polarization in this country. as it's at is never been as polarized so people are worried not only about tomorrow but days and weeks to come on to serious reporting live from washington d.c. how many thanks indeed. we'll get a weather update next here. joe biden has found a different approach to migrants trying to come to the u.s. from the mexican border but examine his plans in greater detail. rescue workers in indonesia deal with the aftermath of 2 natural disasters we'll tell you.

how i was saying some very nasty weather across northern parts of the middle east recently a fair bit of rain sleet and snow spilling out to turkey some wetter weather also coming into the levant so syria lebanon jordan seeing more cloud and right any of these cold temperatures down to single figures for damascus and for jerusalem out west the weather does slot across a good part of syria where there has been some localized flooding northern parts of iraq seeing some heavy rain and that rain making its way into iran as we go on into thursday by thursday here a concert will see an increasing breeze setting in that will lift and dust and sand it will stay dry but it's going to be noticeably hazy poor visibility $21.00 celsius the top temperature here in doha they'll feel it. colder than that if the

truth be known for the south plenty of showers across central parts of africa down to wards zambia will see some wet weather some wet weather once again into northern parts of namibia but the main focus for the region has to be across northern parts of madagascar where tropical cyclone elouise is now making its way through as it punches its way across northern parts of madagascar it will weaken but then it pushes out into the mozambique channel that warm body of water and it will gradually make its way into central parts of mozambique. frank assessments you've got colleagues on the ground in the canaries what is the situation there's only one doctor and one nurse for $2200.00 people and in-depth analysis of the dates global headlines. inside story on al-jazeera. is there and. tell us of any case where us company compensated civilians will we

listen to the only music you hear is your own the most beautiful music in the world is silent we meet with global news makers and talk about the stories the world is their own. this is al-jazeera the main news this hour in just under 24 hours u.s. president donald trump's will be. he spent his final day in the white house considering possible pardons president elect joe biden's pick for u.s. treasury secretary janet yellen is facing a senate confirmation hearing via video link right now she'll be the 1st woman to serve in that role and 2 national guardsman brought in to help with what the

state's an ok ration of been dismissed because of links to far right militias the f.b.i. has been running background checks on all 25000 troops over fears of an insider attack. security forces in guatemala blocks thousands of refugees and migrants from central america from trying to reach the united states traveling at a large group known as a caravan they reached the town of votto hondo where a fierce wall of resistance awaited them john holdren reports. the moment. what's modern police broke up a caravan of thousands of people from honduras. they were trying to get to the u.s. but they hadn't made it far just about to turn 50 kilometers into guatemala the 1st country on their route to the un was the security forces stopped them on saturday saying they needed covert tests and papers to pass since then they've been camped out on the highway well a huge traffic jam build up behind them. now the lorries are running again but the

problems of these people remain a result. this is one of the poorest most violent countries in latin america and 2 massive november storms make things worse than when you know we don't have a word there is no food there isn't anything we're keeping up the fight the government hasn't save the president one orlando has been criticized for his handling of the economy the rule of law and democracy itself you're not going to intervene if the president doesn't want us to leave why doesn't he give us quicken a good salary his increase in texas actress t. bills the price of gas for the seller is all 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 now does it or mexico's president is calling on joe biden to make good on his promises for more

compassionate immigration policies in that campaign and. in president joe biden's campaign he offered to finalize immigration reform and i hope he is able to achieve this with this commitment that's what i hope and i will acknowledge it and i will celebrate it see have dialogue with migrants in honduras and guatemala so they can be looked after that they don't enter the country by force look after them respect human rights well here you go i think the time has come for the commitments to be fulfilled and that is what we hope of you. so just how will president by one tackle the immigration issue eric funs with his vice president of the council of the americas an organization that fosters democracy and economic development in the west and the sphere he joins us now live via skype from washington good to have you with us again eric to what extent is a reset of the relationship with mexico of the upmost priority for the incoming by the ministration well thanks for having me again adrian it's good to be with you i think it's at the very top priority in fact you're going to start scene as early as

this week the new biden administration makes some proposals and some moves to reform the u.s. immigration policies that's not specifically in mexico issue but it clearly implicates the u.s. relationship with mexico in a very significant way but i think more generally it's very clear to the incoming administration that they have to get the relationship with mexico right mexico's of strategic importance to the united states we share of almost 2000 mile border the trade and economic relationship is fundamental the security relationship so this will be it is a priority for the incoming administration so reform of immigration policies under the by the ministry and then the will they be more compassionate immigration policies. yeah absolutely i mean when and then candid it trump announced his candidacy for the presidency you remember he talked that day about rapists and

murderers coming in from mexico that tone is immediately being thrown out and instead of looking at migration as a negative for the united states it's a completely different mindset migrants are seen as of great value to the united states and necessary for the united states economy and so from that standpoint the policies will naturally flow there will be no family separations at the border the policies that will be proposed will be much more compassionate in nature and i think that the president of mexico who is called on the incoming administration in the united states for those types of policies will be pleased in that regard ok those that's a good starting point but what would you like to see the by the ministration immigration policy looking like. well i think that's a big question and clearly it has to be a negotiated solution with the u.s. congress it will be easier from that regard because. you know congress is now going

to be under democratic control both the house of representatives and the senate but a lot of migration to the united states is a fundamental aspect of who we are of the american people we are a country of migrants all of us came from somewhere and based on economic projections and the growth of the u.s. economy we need an increase in population that really can only be supplied from other countries and in fact people who come to the united states are doing so because they want to contribute to the united states they want to help build the economy they want to get jobs they want to use their skills and we should be happy about that that's a real contribution to what we can what we can be as a nation so no absolutely i think we need to get this right it does impact the way that the rest of the world views the united states and i think we need to get back to be seen as a country that welcomes migrants in an orderly responsible way then than the

impression that has done presented to the world for the last 4 years really gets to see again eric many thanks indeed for being with us eric phones with a in washington. after weeks of setbacks brazil has started its nationwide coronavirus vaccination program for people in the city of manassas the gateway to the amazon rain forest vaccines just can't come soon enough the health system that is on the verge of collapse as oxygen supplies a dwindling one of our kids is that. the war room was set up in a warehouse where millions of coded 1000 vaccines had been stored on monday health minister. gave governors the order to distribute them throughout brazil. this is the 1st step towards the largest vaccination campaign in the world this is our mission in the world. but for many

this is more than a wave it's a tsunami before the pandemic there were 30 funerals a day during the 1st wave we had $100.00 burials now we have more than $200.00 it's as if we're at war. scientists believed to mutated versions of the corona virus discovered in my mouse have found better ways to pierce the immune system but that is not all so probably what's going to. bring us all it was. and of course if you've ever worked at borders miscible and get suitable relation beds look. very care about where the musts liberation going to be aired in man hours people watched on television the vaccines being loaded on military planes coke may be in the air but so is much of brazil's immunization program brazil was counting on 8000000 doses to kick off its national

immunization program but it's still 2000000 doses short and political infighting continues making the hard task of vaccinating latin america's largest country even more difficult meineke anarky of all just sirrah my mouse. in indonesia flooding has killed at least 15 people and forced tens of thousands more from their homes it's pushing rescue us to the limit of the last week's earthquake al-jazeera is jessica washington reports from jakarta. indonesia south kalimantan province on the island of borneo heavy rain has lashed these villages and towns for days tens of thousands of people have been evacuated some choosing to stay put so you know one has been sleeping outside his house for nearly a week it's the 1st time he's experienced a flood but when they get banged up on was it not that i have to stay here to look

after my belongings people might steal them night also i have to watch in case the electricity short circuits flooding is common in indonesia during the monsoon season but this year 11 of the 13 districts in some time have been inundated sung for the 1st time ever been through on their own i need help the basics like food we cannot work right now and my husband hasn't been able to work because of covert 19 evacuation centers are operating around affected areas but volunteers say their resources are stretched but i would want to get much out of that but we need blankets for the elderly we only have 3 we need food for them and for the toddlers are also lacking medicine. some of those here are suffering from diarrhea and skin infections caused by contaminated water. and many say they don't know what they'll do when they return to their houses the devil know after all my possessions are gone the water in my house is chest height president joke over dodo visited the

area earlier in the week. this is a major flood that may not have occurred in soft and for more than 50 years due to heavy rainfall. but environmental groups say land degradation and deforestation is making the floods worse. these floods are particularly bad because from the total $3700000.00 hectares of land in south kalimantan 50 percent is already burdened by mining and pommelled plantations. for him and others this crisis isn't just about rain but the mismanagement of land jessica washington al-jazeera jakarta. a course in thailand has handed a record 43 year jail sentence to a woman for insulting the king a former civil servants was found guilty on $29.00 counts of violating thailand's strict laws against criticizing the monarchy she posted offending audio clips on social media before being sentenced the woman only has and shunned so she delegates

to the gravity of what she'd 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 wasn't appropriate this is a big lesson for me. from bank accounts a serious can't hide explains the likely reason for such a heavy sentence well looks like they're making an example of her yet 43 years the longest sentence for oil 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 he's she's going to serve if she serves that entire

time that to 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. it is good to have you with us hello adrian setting up here in doha the headlines on al-jazeera in just under 24 hours u.s. president donald trump's tone will be over he's spending his final day in the white house considering possible poppins alan fischer reports from washington he leaves the building at some point mid-morning whedon's that he's heading to andrews air force base there he will see his farewells his aides have all.
