we understand the differences and similarities of cultures across the world so no matter how you take a al-jazeera bring you the news and current affairs that matter to you. how to 0. al-jazeera. hello i'm not matheson and this is the news our live from doha coming up in the next 60 minutes hundreds of protesters arrested as tens of thousands demonstrate across russia demanding the release of detained opposition leader likes in

a volley. of top coronavirus vaccine manufacturer cuts its promise deliveries to the e.u. by 60 percent blaming supply chain problems. donald trump's impeachment trial in the senate will begin in february is accused of inciting an insurrection. we are in one of the most famous museums in the world in front of arguably some of the most famous paintings in the world i'm stephanie decker in the if it's a museum in florence whether reopening is raising a debate among italians about the need to control mass tourism. i'm joining with the sports 6 months to go until the take care lympics and organizers are insisting it will go ahead by pandemic concerns. now we're going to begin russia where tens of thousands of people have been defying freezing temperatures and the threat of arrest in some of the biggest

anti-government protests in years they are demanding the release of kremlin critic alexy he was arrested last week on his return from germany where he was being treated for the near fatal poisoning more than a 1000 people have been detained so far including the fall and his wife brian has the latest. before the rally had even begun and moscow the security forces got to work rounding out those who started together trying to ensure there be no protest here. but despite the detentions and the battens the crowds only group chanting freedom. opposition leader. and for themselves was. his wife among the hundreds taken away by some of the scenes for the east and blood of our stock a riot police faced off with the crowds. when i was there if i hadn't come here i

would have been ashamed to look in the eyes of my grandchildren and my children i'd be ashamed before myself yeah we do it i'm here because we can't keep living like this they do everything they can to hold on to power in our country so that it will never change but what are we here for a handover of power was he in kabul rovs also demanded president vladimir putin's resignation and the release of his fiercest critic and weeks in a valley was. with r.c.s. have gone to great lengths to prevent such acts of defiance including arresting several of nivelle these top rates and warning social media platforms they'd be fined if they allowed the protests to be organized online. calls for parts haitian and illegal actions constitute an administrative violation and can lead to punishment including arrest. it's alexina valley's arrest last week that's behind

the protests he was taken into custody soon after he touched down in moscow on a flight from germany where he had received months of treatment for a poisoning which nearly killed him he's accused president clinton of ordering his murder. violated the terms. 2014 conviction for financial misdeeds and jailed him for 30 days in a video posted soon after his arrest he said i was because of my new mulch eaten don't be silent resist and take to the streets no one will protect us except ourselves. and to support his own said his calls today is an incredibly important moment for both sides but the kremlin that wants to show that not only doesn't have the support that he. found these team they want to show that in fact a large number of russians are willing to brave the cold to defy the restrictions

against this process to show their support and army and you could see they marched in minus 50 degree celcius mass protests have led to the valleys released from custody before but some analysts believe the tactic was going to work this time because he's become too much of a threat to president putin's grip on power and brian al jazeera. or let's get more on this from alexandria girl's father who's live for us in moscow where we're seeing pictures there of the streets being packed with protesters certainly some of the streets what's the situation like now. well off to the protesters broke the police chain in the police quarter door in the original spot so pushkin square they had a couple of questions to the police on both sides and i think they broke that hold down and they. went for a protest a walk at this point protesters of demonstrators are in several spots in. the

center all from all scald they're followed by the police and sometimes that there is scuffles sometimes there is clashes something best as well trying snowballs at the police there is still these they are also followed by petty vans because arresting the pensions of the protesters are still on there still going on the latest figures say moscow alone more than 500 people have been detained and that this number for the russian on hold is 1600 but there is a detention still proceed and because of the questions there is also injured people . we're just watching some live pictures of from the center mosco there looking at some of those protesters being arrested and of course this is happening in places across russia. concerning is it this money to gain momentum is the approach do you think that this is just the 1st stage in a series of demonstrations. well you

see before this process started when i would say now finally called people to take to the streets to show that they are not afraid and that they are against a not only he's arrested but putin and the government in general this was thought as a sort of a. very big numbers of people showing up especially in moscow because this is the center of power. that shows not only that there is a part this potential russian not only that. you do want some changes but potentially it can grow into into something bigger i have to say so massive brought this we didn't see in moscow for years let alone that they're happening at the same time across of all of russia i was under thanks very much indeed the son xander gold hard talking to us from moscow i want to bring in the

dimitri babbage he's a political analyst at the it's a news agency owned and operated by the russian government and he's joining us from moscow by skype it's good to have you with us on all dizzy with thank you very much indeed what is the putin government most worried about by alexina vonnie and supporters. i don't think gordon is worried about the other kinahan i think putin is wanted by. western sanctions. somehow connected by western governments to mr know about this person i myself i don't see any connection between the oneness poisoning and the phaedo the pipeline in the baltic sea taken russian nature of gas to germany but there there i mean you couldn't politicians and there are few in more american politicians who make that connection and that would be very unfortunate for russia because not only for russia it would also be very important for europe because it's a very profitable and

a very sensible economic project as for mr not only him so he is not a threat or thought as you heard in moscow it's about 4000 people came to this small square right in the very center of the c.d.c. but there are 12000000 at least leaving in moscow so want rather than moscow by 3000 has come to the square this is not a threat at all and if you talk to people mr know hollowness anti-rape you know i mean the number of people who blame him for their western sanctions for putin. you know young people's lives in danger because a lot of advertising for these sections took place on the internet resources such as talk which are young people use and usually some of the protesters coming to know about his meetings their school children so that was condemned not only by the government but also by the population. i want to ask you about the sanctions in a moment but given the figures that you've talked about and the proportions of an

avanti supporters compared to say as you say the number of people who live in moscow the 144400000 people who live in russia for example at the same time this is a tremendous amount of attention that is being paid by the putin government on one individual and comparatively a smaller group of people so i asked the question again why is it that the putin government is so determined to try to put down repress this opposition if the numbers as you're saying are so small. well i think it's because the western world. namely the ultra liberal ideology have put such a huge stake on the world according to western ideology russia is a backward country with a reaction a reactionary g.m. that has to go down soon you know this is not the case at all but as we know from

history people blinded by ideology sometimes substituted for facts so the western governments made mr nominee they are darling which was a credit for the russian position because mr narayanan is very authoritarian he doesn't listen to other people in their position he never made a new political coalitions so in that sense he was even more or less. safe for what he was government because he neutralized you know potential protests just channeled all that energy on himself but just recently mr nominee decided to play 2 games at the same time he decided to be a political refugee x. using present which are not murder trying to murder you and you know coming back to russia and being a political future here but what is leo the government decided not to allow it especially because it's not only. 2 suspended sentences you know a lot of people were asking in russia why is not only created differently from

other people other people if they had a suspended sentence and they went abroad you know mr romney was allowed by which a person that to go for treatment to germany or. any average russian person who would be arrested after missing the deadline for he's a hurry turn on a suspended sentence so when mr novak only openly declared that he would return he was warned by the russian prosecutor's office if you're returning a little bit arrested now only he'll return so he was arrested because the government had no other choice the government could either have different laws for mr narayanan for the rest of the country order arrest him so the government chose or and then we can't these systemic reaction from the west and we've had this so-called protest this certainly i think the consequences of this in inside russia will be close to 0 because as i told you mr mullen is going to future and direct

people a lot more concerned about the you know the unfinished pipeline in the baltic sea than about mr residence in the south for that only considers to be too costly so. i'm going to run out of there because unfortunately we are running out of time but we're very grateful to you for joining us on al-jazeera thank you very much indeed . well plenty more ahead on the news hour including fisons of people in hong kong are ordered to stay at home as the territory struggles to contain a cologne virus outbreak. saudi arabia says it's foiled a hoot the drone attack is the u.s. says it's reviewing the group's designation as a terrorist organization. and organizers of next month's fifa club the world cup and lay out details of what teams and funds can expect in the qatar bubble.

vaccine maker astra zeneca has cut its promise delivery to the e.u. blaming supply chain problems the company has reduced its offering by 60 percent in the 1st quarter of the year only $31000000.00 doses and have expected to be delivered it's a severe setback to the blogs a vaccination program that's already suffering out of pfizer beyond tax load supplies west of boston is joining us now live from amsterdam just let's talk about this issue 1st of all with the deliveries to the e.u. do we know why they are slowing down. yes there are 2 problems here with the both of vaccines with pfizer biotech but also with. both of them are struggling with these production lines of course the demand is immense not only in europe but also a lot of countries of course there are also people in africa who are or the

countries in africa where for the vaccines that are really struggling to keep the demand up and now tighter biotech has stopped delivering to certain countries in europe simply because there's no production anymore so in germany some states have already stopped vaccinating in spain italy there's problems all over some countries are now threatening the company to sue them because they're not giving up their promise to distribute so that's a serious problem here and it's also astra zeneca is another issue because that vaccine has yet to be approved europe has only 2 vaccines that are approved by the european medicines agency that pfizer biotech and mme and asked as a nigga is the one that they have boarded massively so they have ordered millions of doses of this vaccine but this has yet to be approved next week and they already say in the companies saying we have problems with the production line in belgium their factories and production facilities being built now very rapidly through out

of europe but of course the demand is so high that only a very small fraction of the population is now facts unaided here and i'm saddam and if i understand it correctly this is the 1st time in decades that the netherlands is introducing a curfew what kind of impact is that going to have on people there. yes it's the 1st time in peacetime they say so since world war 2 that is going to be a curfew and the dutch are very shocked i have to say because so far the government was always saying these are very draconian measures are not meant for people here in the netherlands because they're very freedom loving and they would not abide by them but now 10 months later here we are the situation is very bad a lot of infections there's a lot of threats also it is very and from the u.k. is going to be really hitting the netherlands very hard so at the moment as you can probably see this parking lots of people are on the streets because there's only a few hours left and then they have to actually remain inside from 9 pm until the

early morning and there's a lot of confusion about it so how did we get into this situation a small country with lots of facilities but the pandemic has really hit very hard here so thanks very much indeed vasant talking to us from mr tom let's bring in emmanuel couple of young co he's director of the health and care department at the international federation of red cross and red crescent societies he's joining us from geneva by skype it's good to have you with us on all jazeera this reduction in the supply of vaccines i would imagine must come as a tremendous blow to you and your teams who have obviously been trying to roll the vaccines out. now you come so certainly as a major blow to to direct cross teams that are operating in many european countries to support your activities every book seen that he is the late he's a potential life lost and what we are talking about right now with this news is

what they actually $3050000000.00 is that will not be deliberately quarter one of this year and so will be postponed to the 2nd quarter of the year so yes it's a massive setback it's are going to be a blow as well of course to people who were hoping that this vaccine was going to be the answer to cove of 19 and obviously whether it's delayed or removed altogether which is unlikely but certainly any sort of delay is going to really begin to concern people yes people are concerned and i think we need to be very clear on on one message vaccines are not right now the silver bullet they will become the silver bullet 'd later in the year but for kline being the best line of defense remains a viewer remains avoiding crowded places breathing putting on masks good quality mosques and just washing and that is our 1st line of defense that seems our coming

will be coming we have roadblocks out the moment. but we need to have i think a lot of persistence eat adopting these protective measures and then patients for these vaccines to come into into our lives well but also imagine that if the vaccine is delayed to then we're going to see an increase in the amount of stress that's going to be put on frontline staff but also of course on hospital beds there may well be a case i'm assuming that people who perhaps would have had to covert offset by a vaccine may succumb to it and may there for progress or pressure on hospital facilities. absolutely what we are seeing is that in many many countries around the world to increase the stress on health facilities and of course not having a vaccine to protect people from getting infected will. result in more cases more speed and unfortunately more fatalities and this is at the moment in which we have diarrhea that have emerged that are great to transmissibility and will increase in

number the number of cases so we are in the middle of this and democrat not out there is a light at the end of the time no but but we are not yet that is the end of the time that we shouldn't be blinded by this light and again we should be keeping our focus on protecting measures that are very much individual it really up to each one about us not to go out to crowded places not to go out without a mask and really helping each other by just taking these precautionary measures and then to vaccine will we need to meet patients and hopefully governments and regulatory authorities will move fast enough and of course manufacturers to bring as many vaccine asked possible say fuck scenes if acacias vaccines into our countries including poor countries including you money to say things which have been very much put. at the back of the queue and should not be at the back of the

queue to getting back seats for the future where we really give you have appreciate your giving us the benefit of your expertise and i know a couple of younger thank you very much indeed sir thank you china's reported upwards of 100 new daily coronavirus infections for more than 10 days in a row it's the worst surging cases it's seen since march last year this comes on the anniversary of the world's 1st covered $1000.00 locked on when china sealed off the city of war han between january and june testing is being ramped up in parts of the country ahead of febreze lunar new year holidays that's when hundreds of millions of books of people are expected to travel to visit their families. dozens of people in hong kong have been ordered to stay at home the lock down is the toughest pandemic restriction imposed in the territories so far it affects a densely populated district that accounted for hof of all new coronavirus cases over the past week hong kong has been struggling to contain an outbreak since november adrian runs in the district with

a lot duns in place and explains why it's been hardest hit. well this is something the hong kong government probably wanted to avoid looking down one of the most densely populated neighborhoods in the city but the tate and jordan areas have been seeing very high infection rates during the past week to 10 days those infection rates running up between 70 to 100 a day so now over the weekend medical workers are going to be testing tens of thousands of residents who live in these pretty decrypted buildings you can see behind me and that's possibly one of the reasons why the virus has been spreading many people live in lot of basically subdivided apartments within a flat basically one room apartments where there's barely enough room very even a bed they share washing facilities toilet facilities kitchen facilities and government officials say they believe that the virus here has been spreading through broken sewage pipes now so far hong kong has recalled recorded about 10000

coated infections since the outbreak began in january last year we've had more than $160.00 deaths but this is a 1st no lockdown up until now and of course the worry for many people is this lockdown might have to spread to other areas if we start to see infections rising in those areas. saudi arabia says it's followed an air attack over the capital dyad the kingdom has come under repeated attacks from hooty rebels in neighboring yemen a saudi led coalition intervened in yemen in 2015 and it's been at war with who ever since the rebels have not claimed responsibility for the attack. the u.s. state department's begun reviewing whether to keep up its terror group designation for yemen's who the rebels it was a party move by the previous administration under donald trump humanitarian groups say the designation could hamper aid deliveries the u.n. says the water in yemen has become the world's worst humanitarian crisis iran

backed rebels took control of yemen's capital sanaa in 2015 sultan bought a cat is the director of the center for conflict and humanitarian studies at the doha institute he says the recent attack in saudi arabia may complicate the terror designation review. there's a mention of originally was framed around the house with ease being a foreign terrorist organization based on their attacks on saudi arabia and if the news is correct that we had earlier today that therefore and you had attack it would make it much more difficult for the by the atmosphere to review this this ignition however it is ignition and so on is unlikely to help and this is what we learn from many of the civil conflicts the designation will not help the enemies inside yemen as much as the saudis and their relationship with the enemy we. really the last couple of days since it's come into force has caused a major computer in among international agencies private companies who are

supplying food to yemen shipping companies who are trying to carry that put into yemen a lot of them are reluctant to engage in yemen not because they don't want to or there's no need for their help but the does ignition and it's blankets form at the moment without much detail in makes it very very difficult for them to engage and a high risk area for them to to engage so lazy is to grow and ultimately i think the public would pay the price and as you know yemen is already $1.00 of the worst human who attend that disasters and is likely to get worse. without further details on how this design issue going to work i think in a situation where worse taiwan's defense ministry has reported what it's calling a large incursion by chinese military planes taipei says 13 chinese bombers and

fighter jets flew into the southwestern corner of its defense identification zone tensions between beijing and taipei are at an all time high after the u.s. lifted a decade's old restrictions on direct contact with taiwan officials last week. william yang is a journalist and vice president of the taiwan foreign correspondents club he says this move by beijing is a message to the biden administration this is a continuation of from the policy and the strategy that china has adopted since last year over the last year the 20000 men have been deploying its fighter jets for more than 300 times throughout 2020 in order to respond to all kinds of different incursions by chinese fighter jets into the a.z. id and then today we saw the biggest number of single day incursion. prompted by the chinese fighter jets and i think this is a very clear sign that china is sending to the u.s.

it is very unhappy with what the trump administration has done before it left the office and it should also be seen as a message to bite and at the mistress and beijing is closely watching the monitoring how washington is planning to at fans or continue its relationship with timelines for the heart of taiwan it really depends on how the company's government is going to interpret the messages and also the engagement coming from washington and at the same time for biden it is he's at mistreatment well have to walk a very fine line between not angering beijing by very publicly in handling the engagement with taiwan but at the same time ensuring that how many people are not going to worry that the lesser public engagement won't be viewed as a way that the bike and the station is going to walk away from what the taiwan and the u.s. have been voting over the last 4 years. still ahead on al-jazeera why more palestinians are turning to traditional justice systems to protect themselves and their families

he watches or does it on the mind of our top stories this hour more than a 1000 people have been arrested across russia during must protests demanding the release of kremlin critic alexy live on the protests are underway in dozens of cities around the country. over $1000.00 vaccine maker astra zeneca has cut its promise delivery to the e.u. blaming supply chain issues it's a severe setback for the blocks vaccination program that's already suffering after pfizer beyond tax load their supplier. saudi arabia says it's followed an air attack over. capital riyadh has previously come under repeated attacks from neighboring hooty rebels in yemen that says the bible ministration reviews whether

to keep the terror group designation its predecessor imposed on the who things. the date has been said donald trump's 2nd impeachment trial will get underway in february senate leaders agreed to a 2 week delay allowing the chamber to focus on confirming joe biden's cabinet picks and a covert 900 stimulus bill trunk's accuse of inciting incident action where he encouraged his supporters to march on the capitol building an earlier this month i did jocasta reports from washington d.c. . donald trump has left washington but not his presence will soon be the center of attention again as the defendant in his 2nd impeachment trial this scene from trump's 1st impeachment will be repeated monday when the house sends to the senate one impeachment article charging trump with inciting insurrection. egged on by trump's call to overturn the election a mob of his supporters stormed the u.s.

capitol on january 6th causing 5 deaths we all want to put this awful chapter in our nation's history behind us but healing and unity will only come if there is truth and accountability and that is what this trial will provide will all senators now stand the $100.00 senators will be sworn in as jurors on tuesday with the trial scheduled to begin in earnest the week of february 8th from patient began working on president minimal process over and of. cannot be an insufficient process the former president tried to do. or damages. or the program through its. president joe biden has stressed the trial should not jeopardize the senate's focus on passing covert relief and we're trying hard to get up and running these crises the better the trials timing will depend on whether the

senate will hear from witnesses how many hours of arguments will be allowed and if there's a way to make progress on biden's agenda simultaneously there is also the constitutional question of how to put a former president on trial a 1st for the nation really this impeachment trial is about whether mr trump will run for president again in 20241 of the punishments authorized by the constitution for conviction on pietschmann is disqualification from holding future office and that's a momentous decision to be made an enemy made with solemnity and gravity conviction would require the vote of 17 republicans only one voted to convict trump after his 1st impeachment now resigned to his florida golf course polls show a majority of americans want to see trump gone from public office for good. castro

al jazeera washington omar khan is joining us now from washington d.c. mike i would imagine the behind the scenes is a lot of horse trading in the go shooting going on when are we going to find out what the substance of the deal that's been done about impeachment is going to be. well the only certainty that we have is that the trial will begin at 1 o'clock on tuesday that is the day after the article of impeachment is handed over to the senate at that stage the senate is going to have to decide on the rules of this hearing are they going to be witnesses for example the degree to which president transfix president will be able to furnish a b. legal defense so all of these issues have to be decided but what makes it very difficult indeed is the constitutional question of whether or not a former president can indeed to be impeached but the senate itself will set the rules for this trial that is something that will be discussed on

a bipartisan basis within the senate now there has been agreement on the date of actually formally the beginning the actual trial itself there may well be a greater degree of unanimity within the senate on the rules under which this trial will take place now as well as hiring new staff and cabinet members the by the administration is also firing some appointees and it does bring us to a bigger issue doesn't it because in the weeks prior to the to prior to the inauguration the trump administration did spend a lot of time trying to as it's called borrow its loyalists into certain sections of agencies that could turn out to be quite a stumbling block for the biden ministration to in that. very much so this to start off with one example the u.s. agency for overseas media now president trump had seen this agency and its various

affiliates like rage of free europe voice of america as anti trump he 7 months ago appointed a well known loyalist to as c.e.o. of this agency michael park then proceeded to fire everybody inside long time members long time workers in the various parts of the agency 2 hours after president biden was inaugurated he fired michael park and appointed a longtime voice of america veteran c.e.o. of the organization so there he made that start she in turn has fired a large number of people attempting to re store the traditional fire walls that had been put in place had traditionally been put in place in the agency's various forms of media to prevent politicize ation of what is supposed to be a completely editorial free board now this gets even more complicated because in

october president trump signed an executive order that essentially remove protections from career diplomats and those who had been within the civil service but at the same time he included a thing called shed which made it easier to convert his political appointments to career servants in other words you buried into what used to call the deep state his loyalists who remain there and the incoming. administration finds a very difficult to get them out now it has already removed for example trump point to a stop in as a lawyer. against the wishes of the director of the national security agency he was fired within the last 24 hours but the. so many positions across the administration which had been filled. by converting political appointees to korea civil

servants and this is something that the biden administration and the office of personnel management which actually is supposed to supervise all of this is going to have to burrow out it's going to be a long process it may require investigation by inspector generals of various departments but it's a very difficult issue indeed mike thanks very much indeed that's my kind of talking to us from washington d.c. now the biden administration says it's going to review its predecessors landmark deals signed with the afghan taliban wants to ensure the taliban are sticking to their commitments to reduce violence cut ties with armed groups and engage in negotiations with the afghan government as part of the deal signed last february the us agreed to withdraw its troops by may in return for security guarantees but there's been an increase in attacks carried out by the taliban in recent months the veteran u.s. talk show host larry king has died at the age of 87 after being hospitalized with covert 19 he was admitted in california earlier this month after testing positive

king had medical issues in recent years which included diabetes and heart attacks his broadcast career spanned more than 6 decades he hosted c.n.n.'s larry king live for 25 years interviewing politicians and celebrities. protesters are out in the streets of tunis here again demanding social justice and jobs it's one of several rallies held since the 10 year anniversary of the jasmine revolution on january the 14th activists say the promises of the movement that kicked off the arab spring have not been met and this is economy is struggling with high inflation international debt and unemployment. recent survey found 2 thirds of palestinians don't trust the state's judicial system and believe it's corrupt human rights defenders say the weak judiciaries in turn strengthening a system known as tribal justice and as neither evoking reports more and more people are moving towards tribal laws to get justice for their family and friends.

this gathering followed the killing of 4 palestinians in a street fight in call for a job it's traditional to hold these meetings after such incidents in order to restore peace in the community they're part of an informal tribal system that follows its own laws when peace is achieved courts usually minimize the fenton's but human rights groups see this undermines the official rule of law. doesn't believe the state's court system is just 3 of her family members were killed in a quarrel in her water last me. it's either us or them i don't care if we all die even if the case states what generations will keep telling our children and their children what happened those responsible for the killings are now serving time in palestinian jails their families have been forced out of the village their houses have been set on fire not once but several times so we defend the tribal justice

system say it's helped the revenge. others argue that they do why only basic human rights still these tribes work under the umbrella of the palestinian authority more than 60 percent of the occupied west bank is off limits for the palestinian authority this makes it more difficult to arrest offenders and enforce court orders . the stripes are limited to b.s. legitimacy continuity and popularity. but the political system in our situation you don't have an army. drives can sometimes be faster and more effective than the state's courts they can put pressure on families as mohammed to now be knows only too well he was in an israeli jail when his father killed a man in 2009 isn't all your family was forced to leave their village and he hasn't

and eastern south africa and botswana fundamental has been tracking the cycle from johannesburg in a sense is this update. in the area of prior nova embarras specifically this is an area where people live in informal settlements homes made from plastic sheeting corrugated iron it appears that hundreds of those homes have been destroyed by the psych loan and those people are now looking for shelter in places like schools where they isn't necessarily adequate provision to take care of these people to look after them the few 1000 people have been relocated to places like schools to areas that are low lying so that people can be kept safe from the flood waters but the concern is that those flood waters are expected to continue over the next 72 hours and in areas outside of barrow like boozy which was severely impacted 2 years ago with this barely been a recovery from psycho it i once again we're seeing

a very difficult dangerous situation there at a point now where aid agencies where workers can't get out to this area be they can only reach boozy by boat and at this point even that seems impossible so there's a lot of concern around the capacity of the aid agencies as well as the government to how people we know that the national disaster institute has said about half a 1000000 people could be impacted whereas the international federation of recross has said that could go up to 1000000 people so so far we understand potentially devastating scenes coming out of mozambique and a lot of concern about how and where people will be kept safe and of course aside from the flood that they're experiencing there is a concern around the spread of disease as people don't have adequate shelter. sports next here on al-jazeera than there's a super bowl surprise for hardworking doctors and nurses that's coming up shortly with joe.

stop the world. the or. the if it's a museum in florence has reopened its doors to the public lockdown rules to curb the coronavirus pandemic when the world famous museum has been closed for almost half of the pasir for the pandemic also means the usual mass crowds of tourists on their florentines are finally getting a chance to enjoy their art and culture in a free personal way stephanie deca reports from florence. intimacy with a masterpiece getting back to chile spring all to yourself would usually be unheard

of the crew in a pandemic has stopped the mass tourism that would usually fill these corridors rooms and that means florentines are coming back to visit something many had long stopped doing she saw stuck a few not sure why i never lived here until i was 25 years old i would come on sunday mornings as you would go have a coffee in the jet of the war then you'd come for a walk around the your feet see we would walk in and out with ease this of course was a long time ago. consider. if we consider it part of our culture as a florentine it's our home museum you'd have to book a month in advance then you'd have to stand in long queues you don't feel like it's your home any more it makes you lose the desire to visit these are arguably some of the most famous paintings in the world this is what the chinese spring and then over there you have the iconic the birth of venus to be able to observe them pretty much alone is an extraordinary privilege and it's raising

a question here among italians about the need to control mass tourism. outside florence is unrecognizably empty. temp you know that miley. in normal times this would be full you couldn't even take a picture there were so many people there was a queue here with the party that you're behind it's a bit sad that florence needs people. for those who live here despite the hard economic times of the pen democrats caused something should change the rebels that only lunch i mean there should be a balance a bit less people i don't know how but there's a need to rethink it also for the future because it isn't beautiful for anyone not even for the tourists i feel to come to find the city's sir chaotic so for you can't even take a walk. here with the director of the feats he tells us that this is one of the most sought after museums in the world. with around 4 and a half 1000000 visitors each year florence together with venice and bustle on our

other 3 top cases of really bad over tourism. and it's not just bad for the city for the inhabitants of the city but it's actually bad for the tourists themselves i think it's it's really important to take advantage now of this very difficult situation and really rethink how we are going to. project our offers in the future arts and culture many here tell us is a right for all the krona virus has forced us all to stop and here at least many hope it will result in a new better way for everyone to be able to enjoy and share these treasures of the past stephanie decker 0 at the museum in florence and it's time for the sports here's joe rob thank you very much there are exactly 6 months to go until the take here lympics but several question marks still remain as to whether they can go ahead during the pandemic as

a state of emergency in much of japan it's still not clear how organizers plan to get tens of thousands of athletes to take care or if fans will be allowed out nevertheless the internationally because he remained confident the games are on we are enjoying the foreign support of the trip a nice government and we had another consultation with all the i.o.c. members yesterday everybody is really determined to make these olympic games in 6 months from now the lights at the end of the tunnel well it's paid to jules boy cough professor of political science at pacific university and author of 4 books on the olympics he joins us on skype from portland oregon jules last year you wrote that the games should have been canceled what do you think now. well if anything the last years shown that corona virus is an even more deadly threat then we realized with athletes and spectators coming from around

the world the olympics could easily become a dystopia coronavirus hot zone so with global public health in mind i still believe that cancellation is the wisest course while it's certain that sports can create an escape hatch from the grit and grind of daily life there is no escaping the fact that the coronavirus pandemic presents an extraordinary challenge so choosing to press ahead with the tokyo games means creating a massive potentially extremely dangerous petri dish so for the sake of global public health i think the tokyo game should still be cancelled and hey it's not just me epidemiologists across the world as well as inside japan have wondered aloud why the games must happen under coronavirus conditions recent polls in japan show the public agrees a whopping 80 percent of those polled now prefer cancellation or another postponement well let's just stop on that message there because then the message

from the organizes it is that these games all go ahead no matter what why do you think they are determined to pull this off when like you say that the japanese public on all that enthusiastic. well olympic organizers in tokyo have an incentive to claw back some of the extraordinary sums of money that they've spent on the olympic games let's not forget that when tokyo bidders 1st pitch the olympics they said they'd cost around $7300000000.00 but costs have absolutely spiraled now they're closer to $30000000000.00 according to an audit by the japanese government itself so it would not only be painful but also political poison to let all that money go swirling down the drain you had tomas bach the president of the international olympic committee speaking at that introduction to this segment and he has an incentive to make the games go on as well after all almost 3 quarters of the international olympic committee's funding comes from broadcasters so if nothing else he would love for the games to go on t.v.

another player almost 20 percent comes from corporate sponsors and to hold the games means to keep those corporate sponsors happy you know that in japanese public is less than enthusiastic though and many of arrived at the same position as anti lympics activists in japan as well as across the world that the olympics should be cancelled and that's because many people have realized that the decision to press ahead with tokyo 2020 or 2021 i guess is truly a matter of life and death i mean as wonderful as the athletes are we're talking about an optional sporting spectacle here not some essential service so when people like tokyo governor your ego gets on the day of sin says things like we're determined to hold the olympics no matter what it takes people are quite understood quite understandably feel that's bone chilling when they hear that kind of message all right jill's. thank you very much for your insight thank you.

answered at this press conference today after all can city's decision to pull out of the tournament earlier this month some reassurances from the organizers of the other 5 international teams willing happy and able to compete we also got some ideas of the sort of protocols they'll go through the head of this tournament all the players and teams will be tested for coronavirus before they leave but we tested again on arrival at the airport and then go into a bi secure hotel environment and they'll be tested regularly throughout the tournament there will be friends at this tournament as well at this club world cup stadiums will be got at a capacity of 9 more than 30 percent 3 categories of founds able to apply for tickets those who've tested negative for 19 just ahead of the game those that have howard's. 90 since october and have positive and see bodies in their system and also those who've had the vaccine so in a very uncertain sporting world some certainty that this tournament will kick off
