these wife there are nairo who was later released and his prominent aid you both the u.s. state department has condemned the tactics used and called for the protesters to be freed the protests were partly fueled by a video of on the scene posted on tuesday election that president putin used illicit funds to build a luxury palace it's now had more than 70000000 views so you're going to go reports . from the same eastern city of lagos stuck. with only supporters faced off with police in subzero temperatures. it was the searches have denied permission for the demonstration the sun was but 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 moscow tens of thousands could gather it was police using batons on the crowds

so more force backed by protesters as a childhood freedom alexei navalny was was a marine among those detained alleys wife yulia apologies for the poor quality she wrote on her social media page very bad light in the police van was as much as president vladimir putin has attempted to play down alexina volleys influenced the arrest of one of russia's most prominent opposition leaders has only inflamed his supporters was on the law is being trampled on can an absolutely incredible man at 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 from a glove in the year away at the with him earlier in the week and have only had

released a video alleging president putin was the owner of a 1000000000 dollar property on the black sea this was denied by putin spokesperson . one 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 and help it all but i know 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. the only may not pose an immediate danger to president clinton's power but economic problems in the country are ongoing as is the discontent and some analysts believe the kremlin fears the potential of a bella roost style mass dissent and the prospect of more protests. sunny out as. well. as out among the protesters in moscow earlier near the prison when

iran is being held. we are standing in one of the side streets of the prison where held while 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.

a so far more than 2200 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 is that there is a big number of people. they are not. sure against not only he's arrested but also against russian president vladimir putin and the power of the present. it's feared 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 by the tropical storm crossed northern madagascar it

intensified into a side clone as it made landfall on the barrier of coastline in mozambique the storm is expected to continue moving inland but should lose strength as it dumps rain across the bar way east and south africa and botswana where the barrackers line was devastated by a cycle 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 moved from that boozy district in the east. in johannesburg has been tracking a psycho 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 psych loan and those people are now looking for shelter in places like schools where they isn't this is

a really 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 die 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. thousands of people in brazil have joined caravans in several cities demanding the impeachment and ousting of president jaya both so narrow is seen his biggest drop in approval yet mostly because of his handling of the pandemic poting shows at least 40 percent of respondents rate his administration as terrible the green christian the angry at the slow rollout of a coronavirus vaccine as the 2nd worst hit country experiences a brutal wave of infections and death i want to tell you and i can as more from rio de janeiro a recent poll just says that more than 60 percent of brazilians think that the pandemic 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 brazil finally got started the vaccine campaign he insists in saying that he he he he doubts that the v. sex scenes work or not he himself has said he will not be vaccinated so it's not the pain itself 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 good to the emergency aid which he gave in the beginning of the pandemic and it was pretty generous but this has stopped as of january nobody's receiving this aid anymore so the situation and the pandemic continues and the situation is serious so that explains part of the drop in his popularity. u.s. president joe biden has had his 1st phone call with britain's prime minister 1st johnson tweeted afterwards that he looks forward to deepening the long standing in

was willing to do donald trump's bidding which is to try to throw out the results of the georgia election and perhaps dissuade congress from verifying the electoral college votes on january 6th now these are pretty sensational allegations the majority leader is now calling on the inspector general for the justice department to investigate these charges and if there's enough evidence that can be mustered in the next couple of weeks you can expect that evidence would be entered during the impeachment trial of the former president and we also learned that a man has been charged of a threat to assassinate democratic congresswoman alexandria because you're cortez what will can tell us about that. well this man who has been charged garrett miller of dallas texas was one of the 800 or so people that the federal bureau of investigation says breached capitol hill security on january 6th and they have

collected a number of social media postings from the man where he showed himself inside the capitol and basically bragging about the efforts to try to prevent the certification of the november 3rd election now when the congresswoman alexandria ocasio court has went on twitter to say that because of this incident that there needed to be an impeachment of donald trump he was one of the many people who responded to her with the expression assassinate a see which is how the congresswoman is popularly known well that is one of the things that has led to his being charged with a number of felonies as certainly you know calling for the assassination of a public official is something that is going to get you in trouble very quickly with law enforcement. thank you very much indeed. still to

blaming the supply chain problems the company has reduced its offering by 60 percent for the 1st quarter of the year only $31000000.00 doses and are expected to be delivered it's a severe setback to the blocks vaccination program which is already suffering after pfizer biotech slowed supplies step bason in amsterdam has more on the vaccine shortage. well these delays are real setback for the 450000000 residents here in the european union the e.u. has a coordinated tax nations strategy for its 27 member states but it has been criticized for starting to late compared to the u.k. and the u.s. and only 2 vaccines have now been approved pfizer biotech and modena and now these 2 vaccines are getting really scarce in countries like germany but also it's a new spain and poland there are real delays with vaccinations and some states have already stopped altogether giving japs to its residents but the companies are

really struggling at the moment pfizer biotech is building new production facilities in germany about also and out of places to keep up with this enormous demand and the other side back is that astra zeneca that most countries here in the e.u. e.u. has put most of their money on they have ordered millions of these vaccines and now says it has problems in its production line and 60 percent less will be delivered after the vaccine will be approved and here in the netherlands for the 1st time since world war 2 a curfew will be imposed on people here starting at 9 pm at night lasting until the early morning and there's a lot of concern about the ferry and coming from the u.k. but also from brazil and south africa also starting today no flights from the u.k. are allowed in here neither from south africa and south america so a lot of concern about rising numbers here in the e.u. while these vaccines

a lot of people were very optimistic that that could be the end of this whole pandemic that that might have been far too optimistic. 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 the b.m.a. says that's difficult to justify as of saturday at least 5800000 people had received their 1st dose of a vaccine the u.k. also recorded one 134819 deaths and more than 33000 new infections grown a virus cases in the united states have been falling steadily 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

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 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 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. saudi arabia says it's intercepted an air attack by yemen's heathy rebels over its capital riyadh the kingdom has come under
