that is all we listen to the only music you hear is the oh the most beautiful music in the world the silence we meet with global news makers and tweet about the stories that go to 0. 72 and a half 1000 people detained as tens of thousands rally across russia demanding the release of alexei navalny a crime and critics wife junia and ada above sobel were among those detained. our entire lives is al-jazeera live from london also coming up fears that hundreds of homes have been destroyed after tropical cyclone eloise makes landfall in

mozambique. on cons government knocks down a densely populated area of the county in peninsula to contain a covert outbreak there. and the pandemic leaves troubling times with the treasures of the pizza galleries all to themselves. you know tens of thousands of people have defied freezing temperatures and the threat of arrest in summer russia's biggest anti-government protest in years a demanding the release of kremlin critic alexei navalny who was arrested last week on his return from germany i had been treated for a near fatal poisoning all in turn a half 1000 people have been detained so far including noel his wife so you're going to go report. from the far eastern city of lagos docks. i live only simpletons faced off with police in subzero temperatures.

i feel sorry she's had denied permission for the demonstration. so the that it didn't stop the crowd gathering to call for the release of the man leading russia's most prominent opposition movement. in the capital tens of thousands of gathered. by. police using batons on the crowds so more 1st backed by protesters as a childhood freedom alexei navalny. from are you among those detained valley's weiss u.t.m. . apologies for the poor quality she wrote on her social media page very bad light in the police van killed but yet as much as president vladimir putin has attempted to play down alexei navalny influence the arrest of one of russia's most prominent

opposition leaders has only inflamed his supporters was that the law is being trampled on can an absolutely incredible man and this arrest is one of the most serious violations of human and civil rights in the russian federation it will set a precedent that could lead to the destruction of all our civil liberties. with earlier in the week novelli had released a video alleging president putin was the owner of a 1000000000 dollar property on the black sea this was denied by putin spokes person than of only supporters corruption is a major source of my discontent and the constant crackdown on the movement is they say an attempt to silence them and help it all but. it's difficult i'm fed up with keeping quiet we've been silent for too long and it's probably time to speak that's my position time to say that we have the right that we have the freedoms and that we have the desire to live in

a completely different country. rather than our live only may not pose an immediate danger to president clinton's power but economic problems in the country are only growing as is the discontent and some analysts believe the kremlin fears the potential of a bellerose style mass dissent and the prospect of more protests. sunday yeah. i was under a lot hall was among the protesters in moscow near the prison when a volley is being held. we are standing in one of the side streets of the prison where not only held the well this prison is actually just around the corner but we cannot approach him because the police is pushing everyone from from there it sealed off that approach and also minutes ago there was a group of protesters a fairly young ones these ones are and they would be carrying the police and then trying to run away from it and take some other side street so these are the last

part of the 2 days the massive protests as i say the group is fairly young and they are chanting names to putin and that he's a teeth and freedom to me which is fairly close by at this point of the protests have been going more than 8 hours now arrests continue as long as protests and a so far more than $2200.00 people have been arrested across russia and in moscow almost 900 to with a growth of that number growing there are calls to continue this brought this already next week and they are coming from very close associates. with this. show that there is a big number of people. they are not backing up on that for sure against not only he's arrested but also against russian president vladimir putin

and the power of the present. as for it hundreds of homes have been destroyed in mozambique after tropical cyclone eloise made landfall early on saturday at least one person was killed and 50 houses destroyed when the tropical storm crossed northern madagascar it intensified into a cycler news it made landfall on the barrier coastline in mozambique the storm is expected to continue moving inland but should lose strength as it dumps rain across the east and south africa and what's juana with a pair of coastline was devastated by a cycler and it died less than 2 years ago heavy rain and strong winds battered areas which had not fully recovered from the previous storm $200.00 millimeters of rain have been reported with another 100 millimeters expected at least 3000 people will move from boozy districts in the east summit and in johannesburg has been

tracking recited and sent 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 cycle own 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 floodwaters but the concern is that those floodwaters are expected to continue over the next 72 hours and in areas outside of barrow like boozy which were severely impacted 2 years ago with is barely been a recovery from psycho it died 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. brazil has received more than 2000000 doses of the astra zeneca vaccine from india where it was manufactured this as president of oso narrow sees his biggest drop in approval yet mostly because of his handling of the pandemic polling shows at least 40 percent of respondents rate his administration as terrible they are growing

increasingly angry at the slow rollout of vaccines as they 2nd worst hit country experiences a brutal wave in the affections and deaths. one of. joins us live from rio de janeiro than to the doses of starting to arrive how quickly will backs be distributed. well they've been started they've been they have been distributing them. in the minute that they arrive the thing is that there are 2000000 doses were the ones that had been delayed so far brazil only had the 6000000 doses of the corona vaccine and it just received the chill 1000000 doses of the astra zeneca vaccine and but in some places like the amazon a state now switches a very critical situation that was the city where there were hospitals were full and there was no oxygen the vaccination campaign was put on hold due to corruption

also oxygen which is was being shipped to that city which was being sent out of city by road by river there are trucks that have been stopped because they're stuck in the mud so it still is a very critical situation actually in the north of really settle in test the protests against president bush in a. well our recent poll just says that more than 60 percent of brazilians think that the president make is out of control and people have been protesting for a series of reasons the president has always downplayed the virus he has just recently after our brazil finally got started the vaccine campaign he insists in saying that he he doubts the fact scenes work or not he himself has said he will not be vaccinated so it's now up it's still politics instead of being

something that has to do with health and science and so people are starting to get angry there's another factor which is much of his popularity was her chin see aid which she gave from the beginning of the pandemic and it was pretty generous but this has stopped as of january nobody is receiving this aid anymore so the situation and the pandemic continues and the situation is a serious explains part of the drop in his popularity when he and he have thank you very much indeed the british medical association is calling on the government to shorten the gap between the 1st and 2nd doses of the pfizer biotech vaccine the u.k. extended the maximum weight for the 2nd dose from 3 to 12 weeks to get the 1st dose out to as many people as possible but the b.m.a. says that's difficult to justify as of saturday at least 5800000 people had received their 1st dose of the vaccine the u.k. also recorded 134819 deaths and 133000 new infections.

current of us cases in the united states have been steadily falling throughout january but the world's worst hit country is still reporting almost 4000 deaths a day health officials are warning new variants 1st identified in the u.k. brazil and south africa may trigger a surge of cases at the same time as the country is seeing a shortage of vaccines nearly 25000000 americans have been diagnosed with copd 19 so far and more than 414000 people have died the veteran u.s. talk show host larry king has died at the age of 87 after being taken to hospital with copd 19 he was admitted earlier this month in california after testing positive king had medical problems in recent years including diabetes and heart attacks is broadcast career spanned more than 6 decades but 25 years he was the host of cnn's larry king live interviewing politicians and celebrities. still to

city but the yama tate and jordan areas have been seeing very high infection rates during the past week to 10 days those infection rates running at 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 flood basically one room apartments where there's barely enough room for 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 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. china has now reported upwards of $100.00 new daily coronavirus infections for more than 10 days in a row is the worst surge in cases the country has seen since march testing has been ramped up in parts of the country for fabrice new year holidays that's when hundreds of millions of people are expected to travel to visit their families. what is it exactly a year since the world's 1st coronavirus knockdown began in one and life in the city is largely back to normal the bulk of the nearly 5000 crowd of ours deaths reported by china were in will happen since restrictions were lifted the city has been mostly free of further outbreaks but residents say they're still recovering from the impact of the pandemic and the 76 day lockdown could well yeah yeah

there has been an impacts for sure it's a big blow for restaurant owners because there is much less business people are scared to come to restaurants like before restaurants used to be packed for coronavirus now there are restrictions on how many people can sit on one table and how many tables can be used in a restaurant the way. they were using the pandemic has not been eliminated yet there's still the possibility of a reemergence and it's said that we should take good precautions if there's an outbreak in other places we'll do our best to help them just like how they help to have i hope we can get through this difficulty together because we're all chinese. hundreds of protesters a back out in west jerusalem calling for prime minister benjamin netanyahu to step down israel's prime minister has been charged with fraud breach of trust and accepting bribes protests to be taking place for weeks with many saying that an yahoo can't lead properly or facing corruption charges he denies any wrongdoing.

saudi arabia says it's intercepted an air attack by yemen's hooty rebels over its capital riyadh the kingdom has come under repeated attacks from who sees in neighboring yemen the group has denied carrying out any operations in the last day the saudi led coalition intervened in yemen in 2015 and has been at war with the who thiis ever since. the u.s. state department is reviewing whether to keep the new terror group designation given to yemen's who the rebels their blacklisting was a parting move by the trumpet ministration humanitarian groups are concerned it could impede vital a deliveries iran back to seize rebels control took control of yemen's capital sana'a in 2015. this president joe biden has apologized to troops who were kicked out of the capitol building and forced to sleep in underground car parks apology came in the form of a phone call with the chief of the national guard bureau 26000 troops were sent to washington to secure the city for biden's inauguration many have now returned to

their home states but some remain working 12 hour shifts to guard the capitol and congressional grounds well 150 have tested positive for cocaine 19 my kind of joins us now from washington d.c. mike we're hearing that the biden is administration is moving quickly to get rid of trump appointees at the voice of america and the government's other international news organizations. yes indeed the government for overseas a media department which handles a large number of media outlets including voice of america radio free europe and we have now learned that 2 hours after his inauguration joe biden actually acted to get rid of the man who president trump had appointed at the time 7 months ago as the chief executive officer of that particular agency he replaced with a 30 year veteran of the voice of america who has now taken over c.e.o.

and has interned fired all of those a trump appointees who'd been put into various agencies or various parts of the agency in other background to this then president trump had insisted that bodies like the voice of america were trump and he wanted to change the narrative as he put it putting in his own appointee trump loyalist who then appointed and fired and or demoted a large number of long term workers within these various media outlets and how this has all been reversed but significant that we learned that this was one of the 1st things that president biden did when he took over office obviously with the intention of restoring that fire wall a traditional fire wall between government and the media outlets that it controls and is this sort of thing happening in other parts of the u.s. government as well. well it's

a major issue for the biden administration once again the background to this in october president trump then president trump signed an executive order essentially removing certain the workplace rights for career employees but at the same time he also changed the way in which a political appointee could be changed to a civil servant in other words political appointees by president trump worked changed to career employees in other words they were shifted from being a political appointee who would have to resign when the administration went out of power to career civil servants who stay now this is happened in a large number of cases and it's being intensely investigated by the bite of the ministration inspectors general's office areas departments might be employed but the scale is believed to be very wide indeed and it's a major issue to get rid of these political appointees who are literally embedded

in the new administration mike hanna thank you very much indeed for a 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 judiciary is in turn strengthening a system known as tribal justice and is need abraham reports more and more people are using it 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 sentence but human rights groups see this undermines the official rule of law. ramesh called it doesn't believe the state's court system is just 3 of her family members were killed in

a quarrel and her water lost 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 deter revenge. others argue that they've won 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. of the stripes are limited to b.s. legitimacy continuity and popularity. but the political system in our

situation you don't have an army a protector 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 the village and he hasn't been allowed to return to his house. very much. yes there has been a crime if this means that a whole family will be punished for 15 to 20 years then we don't live in a country that respects itself. 40 percent of palestinians trust the non-state justice systems some say the palestinian authority has failed to establish a strong judicial apparatus more than 2 decades after its establishment. the occupied west bank. if went to galleries in florence have reopened their doors

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 bring 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 molly 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 at the pen demick is caused something should change the river beds

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 sir chaotic say for you can't even take a walk. here and 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. 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 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 corona 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 al-jazeera at the museum in florence and more on our website any time to just about his hours there dot com and you can also watch a spot to him on the orange live icon. the top stories on our jazeera tens of thousands of people across russia have protested against the arrest of kremlin critic alex saying about me we're going to know half hours and people were arrested as police try to break up the crowds at least 900 were arrested in moscow alone among those detained were wife. who was later released and prominent aide to go.
