he's become too much of a threat to president putin's grip on power in exile brian al jazeera. ok let's get more on this from alexandra go to far who's live for us in most of our exams or just tell us what the situation is now because with we've been seeing the pictures of the streets packed with protesters being arrested. for. dui arrests and detentions of demonstrators of the protesters continue as we speak at this point and now the professors are no longer called back man they are scattered across the town across the why the center of moscow there are reports that there is a group marching towards the tensions centering which will likely have. kept and also the reports that this particular part of town completely sealed off by the police where we were last night and which is actually some 500 meters behind me

that park is now completely cleared all police have pushed everyone out rest of the everyone they called at this point and indeed the figures of people detained or arrested across russia are now close to 2000 with the old were 600 people of that number being people are arrested in moscow in the meantime we learned that the wife well thought i'd say now i need you has been released from custody i'm just seeing the reuters report is quoting an unidentified ally of election avani saying that there should be fresh protests next weekend and looks as though this is gaining momentum. well yes indeed we also read these announcements that the next brought this should happen the next weekend and indeed it looks like it is gaining the momentum because it was. me and his

supporters showed he said that there are big numbers of them that they are willing to take to the streets whether it's a minus 50 like you mean with school or. face seeing and having the colombine and clashes with that with the police like it was here in moscow and also in petersburg so today's protest has been shown indeed very ease big numbers behind aleksei now by me at least willing to protest on the streets for his freedom and also against the routine and he is out for you know sandra thanks very much indeed that his son and sons are going for talking to us from moscow. with another man's is imposing its toughest measures yet with a nation time nation wide a night time curfew against covert 19 from saturday no one is going to be allowed to leave their homes which we 9 pm and 4 30 am unless for emergencies that's on top of a lockdown that's closed to nonessential businesses and schools for the past month

vaccine maker us to zeneca has cut its promise delivery to the e.u. blaming supply chain problems the company has reduced its offering by 60 percent for the 1st quarter of the year only $31000000.00 doses are not expected to be delivered in a severe setback to the box vaccination program that's already suffering after pfizer buying tax load supplies stuff boston has the latest from amsterdam. there are 2 problems here with the both of vaccines with the biotech but also with us to say take and 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 have ordered these countries in africa where 14 serve axioms so i really struggling to keep did the mond up and now price or buy in tech 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 too to sue them because they're not giving up their promise to distribution 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 madame and i started 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 the dutch are very shocked i have to say because so far the government was always saying decent 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 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 in 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 a 9 pm until the early morning and there's a lot of confusion about it. so they are a bit says it's followed an air attack over the capital riyadh the kingdom has come under repeated attacks from who the rebels in neighboring yemen the saudi that coalition intervened in yemen in 2015 and there's been a war 'd with who he's ever since the rebels have not claimed responsibility for the latest attack meanwhile the u.s. state department's begun reviewing whether to keep its terror group designation for the who feeds it was a parting move for 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 the iran backed rebels took control of yemen's capital sanaa in 2015 sultan barakat is

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. he doesn't mention a version he was framed at the house he's being a foreign terrorist organization based on their attacks on saudi arabia and if the news is correct that we had to have today that they're poor and you had attack it would make it much more difficult for the buy in a decision to do this this ignition however does ignition on its own is unlikely to help and this is what we've learned 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. already 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 the no need for their help but the does ignition and it's blankets form at the moment without much detail and makes it. very difficult for them to engage and a high risk area for them to to engage so lazy is to withdraw and ultimately i think the public will pay the price and as you know yemen is already one of the worst human who attend that disasters and is likely to get worse. without further details on how this does initially going to work i think the situation worse. still ahead on al-jazeera why more palestinians are turning to traditional justice systems to protect themselves and their families. a powerful sights on heads an area of mozambique that still recovering from the effects of

affects a densely populated district that accounted for half of all new coronavirus cases over the past week hong kong has been struggling to contain an outbreak since november it jim brands in the district with a lot of plans in place and explains why it's been hardest hit. well this is something the hong kong government probably wanted to avoid locking down one of the most densely populated neighborhoods in the city but the tape 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 decrepit 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 cynthy outbreak began in january last year we've had more than $160.00 deaths but this is the 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. taiwan's defense minister is reporting what it calls 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. left a decades 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 us 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 that biden at the ministry shinde pacing is closely watching the monitoring how washington is planning to at sam's work continue its relationship with

timelines for the part of taiwan it really depends on how the taiwanese 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 administrating 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 building over the last 4 years. protesters are out on the streets of tunis 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 4 teams activists say the promises of what the movement kicked off the arab spring have not been met china's is economy is struggling with high inflation and international

killed in a quarrel and 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 who will defend the tribal justice system say it's helped the revenge. others argue that they want 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 . b.s. legitimacy continuity and. protect the political system.

drives can sometimes be faster and more effective than the state's courts they can put pressure on families as mohamed 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 the village and he hasn't been allowed to return to his house. yes there has been a crime if this means that a whole family will be punished for 15 to 20 years and we don't live in a country that respects itself. 40 percent of palestinians trust. just the systems something the palestinian authority has failed to establish a strong judicial apparatus more than 2 decades after. the occupied west bank. cyclon enemies has made landfall near

mozambique's port city of beer which was devastated by side in less than 2 years ago heavy rain and strong winds battered it is which had not yet fully recovered from the last storm earlier at least 3000 people have been moved from boozy districts in the east other ways is expected to lose strength as it travels in lands dumping rain across and east south africa and botswana ramadan miller has been tracking the cycle from johannesburg and she sent us 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

a 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 is 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 the red cross 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. the veteran u.s. talk show host larry king has died at the age of 87 after being hospitalized with covert 19 it was admitted in california earlier this month after testing positive the king had medical issues in recent years which included diabetes and heart attacks he conducted more than $50000.00 interviews in a broadcast career spanning over 6 decades for 25 years he was the host of cnn's larry king live interview politicians and celebrities and months recovering after receiving the world's 1st double shoulder and arm transplant in france for this crisis and is from iceland he lost both limbs 2 decades ago after an accident while working in a high voltage power line the operation was performed in lille by a french hand transplant pioneer who met mr gresson at

years old i would come on sunday mornings as you would go have a coffee in the path of the then you 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. but it's a big. 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 the mali we 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 aponte vacua behind it's a bit sad that florence needs people. for those who live here despite the hard economic times of the. demick is caused something should change the rebel sit in the 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 so chaotic say for you can't even take a walk. 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 barcelona where the 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 really important to take advantage now of this very

difficult situation and really really think how we are going to. project our offers in the future arts and culture many here tell us is a right for all the coronavirus 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 al-jazeera at the museum in florence. this is our desire these are the top stories where the 2000 people have been arrested across russia during mass protests demanding the release of kremlin critic alexina volley demonstrations are underway in dozens of cities around the country. has more from moscow the arrests and detentions of demonstrators of the protesters
