1:02 pm
about $800000.00 cases away from reaching that milestone it could happen in the next 24 hours meanwhile countries are struggling to balance measures with growing anger over a lack of action or strict to lock downs the mexican president who has faced criticism in the past over qubit 19 management has tested positive himself the u.s. is reinstating a travel ban in an effort to contain highly contagious corona virus variants new zealand turns reported its 1st community case in months it was contracted in quarantine is believed to be the south african strain of the virus and those mutations are also plaguing germany where experts say the more infectious u.k. variant is likely to become the dominant strain their dominant kane our correspondent tracking that aspect of the pandemic for us from berlin dom good afternoon good morning so do we know when and where this particular strain the u.k.
1:03 pm
strain was imported into germany. isolated cases instances of this variant were 1st reported some time ago but it's clear that the mere existence of the variant in germany now is really causing great concern to the ministers whose job it is to tabulate the information but then also use that information to make policy certainly the minister at the chancellery so a person who works on a day to day basis in close proximity with angle americal was saying on german media yesterday evening that he believes quite soon that the german that this has me the british identified variants of the variant of the virus 1st identified in the united kingdom is going to become the dominant variant the dominant strain in this country what's also interesting is that here in berlin itself we now have an incidence of the new variant the very 1st event that occurred in the u.k.
1:04 pm
being causing an outbreak in a hospital not that far away from where i'm broadcasting right now there are suggestions that perhaps 20 people had tested positive for the new variant but that the authorities at that hospital having now to test the entire population of that hospital more than 1500 people having to be tested we know that more than $500.00 have already been tested in the balance the remaining balance will be tested today but the fear is that the outbreak people know about it now but the fear is how long how much time there was between the 1st case appearing there and the corone 1000 happening which mirrors in some ways the way that the pandemic developed in germany certainly that the case is being attentive and then finally a quarantine as it were being imposed so that's what's informing this perspective right now but no doubt about it from a ministerial perspective not just in berlin but right around the country the very
1:05 pm
very concerned about the new variants that have been identified and specifically about the one that was 1st identified in the u.k. dominic. reporting live there for the news from berlin don thank you very much well as we've been hearing the mexican president who has the latest will be the 1st test positive for covert 19 has some underlying health conditions to he has been condemned in the past for refusing to wear a mask john holeman reports now from mexico city 67 years old he has got high blood pressure he also had a heart attack in 2013 so this is a president that even when he got into power there were certain questions about his health so far during his tenure as time how he hasn't had any serious health problems but will be keeping an eye on this and it comes at a time in mexico when there are serious problems for the country trying to deal with the pandemic the hospitals in the capital are close to full and have been for some weeks now there's a real shortage of oxygen tanks for those who are trying to treat their relatives
1:06 pm
at home so it's a real critical situation this week alone recruits have been broken more than once of the number of people that die daily from coated and the number of daily patients from coated and president and his men will look his opera dort throughout this pandemic he and his administration have been criticized the handling of it he's someone who has not like tunas occasions refused to wear a mask especially at the beginning of the pandemic he was hugging his supporters when he went out and tool was his own administration was in providing people to maintain social distancing and meanwhile he said to continue working from the national palace and tomorrow actually on monday he has a coup with russian president vladimir putin the russian leader to talk about taxes or he's trying to keep working and he's hoping that his symptoms don't get any worse. the travel ban the u.s.
1:07 pm
is reinstating to contain highly contagious variants of coronavirus won't apply to u.s. citizens and residents the president joe biden has promised to administer a 100000000 doses of covert 19 banks in in the next 3 months and also he wants congress to policy nearly 2 trillion dollar pandemic relief bill reports now from washington. it's the worst affected country in the world nearly a year after the u.s. recorded its 1st covert 19 case that number has climbed to more than 25000000 with a little boy that's one in 14 americans infected with the disease almost 420000 of them have died president joe biden says the pandemic is his top priority but his team is already revising his goal of that's an eating 100000000 americans in 100 days it was a little bit of a misunderstanding what we're talking about is 100000000 shots in individuals so
1:08 pm
a shots as in other words when you get down to let's say a certain part of the 100 days at the end of 100 days you're going to have some people who will have gotten both shots and some will still be on their 1st shots with the president saying 100000000 shots in the arms of people within $100.00 days and by and officials are accusing the trumpet ministration of making a grave mistake in it's an demick response plans everywhere american is seen the way in which people get vaccine is chaotic it's very limited we've seen this factor all over the country where millions of doses have been distributed about half of that has been given out the president wants congress to approve nearly 2 trillion dollars in pandemic relief spending this on top of a $900000000000.00 measure passed back in december biden's fellow democrats say supporting the economy is critical right now but congressional republicans. not so
1:09 pm
fast idea that we need a stimulus is a little hard to understand because i'm one of those is convinced that if you want to see this economy get going we gotta get beyond covert if we get beyond covert i believe that the economy is going to come roaring back and spending and borrowing trillions of dollars from the chinese among others is not necessarily the best thing we can do to get our economy to be strong long term. before donald trump left the white house he lifted a coke at 19 travel ban on not americans coming from europe and brazil but on monday that band comes back and will extend to those coming from south africa by the end of the week the u.s. reportedly is trying to stop the spread of the so-called south africa variant of code that 19 another variant from the u.k. has already been found in 20 u.s. states and it said the list of countries could get longer if that's what it takes to end the pandemic rosalyn jordan al-jazeera washington well as we mentioned
1:10 pm
a little earlier new zealand's 1st community coronavirus case in months was like the spread jury in quarantine a woman tested positive just days after completing 2 weeks of mantric orenstein after arriving in the country it's believed she caught a more infectious south african variant of the virus from another traveler inside the core unseen facility at the case has now been given confirmed status it was a probable cases today it is now a confirmed case we know that the person's husband and he had researched negative i would say i outlined this morning it's a very encouraging development that we can also confirm that the strain of in fiction is the south african variant and the source of in fiction is highly likely to be a fairly rich a neat during the person stay at the poor woman or tell and australia has halted its travel bubble with new zealand in response to the new case anyone travelling in the next 3 days will not be able to skip the 2 we quarantine. in the netherlands
1:11 pm
the prime minister is defending his government's decision to impose nighttime curfew the country's 1st since world war 2 the restrictions were met with protests and clashes with the police across the country the prime minister moderator called the violent demonstrations quote criminal and in a separate protest in the village northeast of the city demonstrators set fire to a covert testing facility riot police were sent to the town after reports of the fires and damage to police cars the police have arrested around 280 people nationwide the nighttime restrictions went into effect on saturday is the country's 1st as we were saying since the 2nd world war of course this is a measure that is really minimizing our freedoms it's something that we are not used to in this country but again i think we have to do everything that's necessary now. so giving up a bit of freedom is well it's a thing we just have to do ok let's move on to some other top stories for uganda's high court says the continued detention of the opposition leader bobby wine is
1:12 pm
unlawful now the court has directed the police and the military to leave mr winds residence he's been under house arrest since january the 15th the day after uganda's presidential election catherine sawyer is monitoring developments for us from neighboring kenya she joins us live from nairobi sir catherine the judge there has ruled that the house arrest is unlawful but will the government abide by that. that's a big question isn't it peter and i have not too long ago spoken to one of the lines lawyers benjamin catan i see say they why headed at the time to some of these orders to the police and military commanders including the inspector general of police and he also told us he's aware and not holding his breath really because they have seen previously the security of paris has failing to abide by the court order that has happened before with bobby wine it has happened with other
1:13 pm
opposition leaders like for example to the best. opposition leader who has previously contested for the presidential election than 2016 he was put in the house arrest for 40 days and the security apparatus refused to abide to court orders to have that lifted and you know no other cases as well so what we want as lawyers telling us that they are not holding their breath but they are hoping that this time around things will be different and if the police and the military do not respect the judge's orders then they will have the lawyers will have to go back to court to file for contempt and we have been talking also to some of our colleagues and other journalists who attempted to go to both the white house right after the ruling bizarre roadblock about 500 meters away from his home so the job of a journalist was stopped from going for by the security forces that the sieged body was home for quite
1:14 pm
a while now so it's going to be interesting peter to see going forward whether the police and the military are going to abide by that ruling by the judge as you've been reporting since the election catherine all this comes on and in the aftermath of that contested presidential election what's the opposition's course of action being. well last week the national unity platform that's bobby wine spotty the officials held a press conference and says that they are in the process of compiling evidence they have already said that they have the evidence of widespread irregularities of rigging in favor of president yoweri with 70 so they say they have that evidence and they're compiling it to prove to file a petition with a constitutional court contesting the election results but over the weekend bobbie while had a briefing on facebook and he said he's not too sure anymore that they're going to
1:15 pm
file the petition he said that most of his an electoral agents who are compiling that evidence have been arrested he also said that a lot of mania thousands actually of results declaration forms from the polling stations which are very important in such a case have been confiscated so he's not sure anymore that he's going to present to file the petition and he doesn't trust the court because he says that he believes that the judges will not rule he will not give him a fair hearing but then he said that in the coming days he and the national unity platform officials are going to give a way forward so again peter an interesting development he still has until the end of the month to to file that petition catherine many thanks katherine correspond of their lives. lots more still to come for you here on the news hour including amnesty international accuses egypt of deliberately denying health care to inmates

cycling killed more than a 1000 people now literally today the country is again in pick itself up after cycling elouise swept through from australia to california wildfires are growing in intensity destroying whole communities to this floods droughts sea level rise all threats we need to adapt to adaptation is crucial because more than 1000000000 people around the world are highly variable to climate change and it is really a matter of interest and intergenerational equity. the most vulnerable countries are those that are least responsible for the bites of climate change so this is really about climate justice now many of the adaptation measures to make people safer are relatively cheap to implement from early warning systems against storms to regrowing coastal mangroves to provide
1:18 pm
a natural barrier against storm surges but hard cash promised by richer nations to build this resilience well that's not been forthcoming it's estimated funding needs to increase 10 fold to $300000000000.00 a year as part of an overall reset of the way we live. it is not a choice of either the economy or you know a terrible life it's not because everybody's going to eat meat or whatever choices are thrown around there's going to be the greatest economic transformation in global history and just like the industrial revolution this will be the defining of a better quality of life for our citizens over a long period of time climate related disasters have cost $650000000000.00 globally in the last 3 years but it has been calculated that every dollar spent on adaptation prevents $12.00 of damage while at the same time building resilience against extreme events that are already upon us which impact the poll most of all
1:19 pm
more than $300000000000.00 u.s. dollars is required to protect the planet against the effects of climate change that's 10 times more than is currently being spent the conclusion of the global center on adaptation based in the netherlands a country under threat from rising sea levels as we've been hearing his status of. managing water has always been a matter of survival for the dutch if it weren't for the 22000 kilometers of dikes a large part of this land would not even exist but increasingly the country's defense against the elements has to be strengthened against rising sea levels and storms that the effen low house has left on the water for decades and after document and the effects of climate change in his own country and around the world he says too much time is lost. it is quite possible that if nothing happens.

rotterdam adaptation is culture in the netherlands relive with water already for thousands and thousands of years as the world's only special envoy for what affairs hang over his stars to take the dutch water expertise to the rest of the world the world has to acknowledge that you don't work with these challenges by looking back and every call for off the disasters no adaptation is about looking ahead to the future and prepare yourself instead of working against the water the dutch are increasingly using its power to strengthen the coastline this so-called sand and gin is a natural way of creating a peninsula by using sand and currents a matter that is now also being used along the coast of the u.k. . but despite these innovations god he is less optimistic than that alliance can be saved in the long run. it's predicted. to our nazri of engineers that most of the modelers will to start a war. even so the nat'l and

a 3rd of which is below sea level is already beating the odds and it centuries of knowledge of water management is seen as a key to its survival step fastened al-jazeera amsterdam. it's been 10 years since the start of an uprising in egypt the toppled its longtime president hosni mubarak but the arab spring in egypt hasn't lived up to the hopes of those who took to the streets as jamal sheil now reports. there were scenes that's gripped the world's attention for 18 straight days millions of egyptians demonstrated in the streets and squares of the country's cities ultimately bringing about the end of president hosni mubarak's 30 year rule the the protests began on january the 25th with wholesome social media platforms for people to take to the streets demanding freedom justice and bread. those
1:23 pm
calls by unarmed civilians were met with a type of police brutality that was synonymous with the mubarak regime consequently the demands and chants shifted to a simple and very clear one was was shot beauty had scott in iran or the people demand the form of the regime. on february the 11th it's felt or solo the faults went out of step the site and the country's military generals took charge despite attempts by the army to maintain power they were forced to allow the country's 1st ever free and fair parliamentary elections to take place those were then followed by a vote for the presidency which resulted in the muslim brotherhood parties mohamed morsi becoming egypt's 1st ever democratically elected president. throughout that time social and economic instability became the norm egyptians had begun experiencing political freedom but living conditions remained bad regular and it tricity outages and the never ending fuel shortage crisis led many to direct their
1:24 pm
opposition to egypt's post revolution president discontents continued to rise and in 2013 supported by the army and police another mass protest took place will be a far smaller. in slice and shorter in duration than that of 2011. the protesters said morsi had to go because he failed to deliver on the goals of the revolution his supporters said it was the counter revolution that had been sabotaging the morsi presidency and was now behind the unrest it's led to transpired that most of the crises were in fact manufactured and the violence which rocked egypt streets had been encouraged by a deep state that once a quarter versus the gains of the john you 25th revolution. the removal of morsi by a military coup in 2013 installed on the general abdul fatah has sisi as either an ultimate the president it. since assisi came to power egypt has become the world's
1:25 pm
2nd largest borrower from the i.m.f. in 2014 the country had a foreign debt of $46000000000.00 today that figure is more than 125000000000 poverty levels in egypt have increased just a cli and more than 50 percent of the country's revenue is spent on trying to pay back its foreign debt. meanwhile its easy has found money to build several huge new palaces and buy a new presidential plane amongst other things but she's here ok actions that have enraged the egyptian public the vast majority of which lives on or below the poverty line 10 years on cairo's tahrir square is a far cry from what it looked like egypt is not the country those who protested dreamed it would become and for tens of millions of egyptians they have little if any freedom justice and bread. ok
1:26 pm
let's bring in mohammed el masri he's an associate professor of media and cultural studies at the doha institute for graduate studies mohamed el masry welcome back to the news hour 10 years on what's improved. well the way i like to put it is you know egypt took one step forward with the 2011 revolution and then it took a couple of steps backwards so unfortunately as we stand here today 10 years on. not much has improved and actually things have gotten significantly worse on a number of on a number of levels if we want to look at. the economy for instance the wealth gap has grown poverty the poverty rate it's income. based. i don't political repression it's it's beyond anything that we that we saw during the mubarak period c.c. is quantitatively and quantity and quality typically more repressive than then will
1:27 pm
bark more people have been arrested more draconian legislation more opposite and more news outlets have been have been shut down and obviously more people killed in the streets under sisi then that happened in 30 years of. dictatorship so. it's it's really had a sad point i think certainly people didn't or couldn't have imagined that things would regress this much there's still an awful lot of discontent and a lot of analysts think that it's perhaps a matter of time before there is another sort of movement a popular movement to try to oust this dictatorship why is it not generated anger on the streets up to now. well there are a couple things to mention here 1st of all it has and generated a lot of anger including in the streets there have been protests really almost
1:28 pm
every year i mean we write on the anniversary and i just look back at an article that i wrote exactly 5 years ago published in algeria about protests that took place at that time in 2016 so there are small protests and there have been protests the last 2 years guided loosely by mohamed ali former regime sort of business a businessman. but the reason why the protests haven't grown is because of the brute force that i that i spoke to earlier shortly after the military coup that so place in 2013 cc's security forces went into the streets and carried out several large scale massacres perhaps the largest massacre as a protestors in the history of the modern modern world. at least 1000 people were killed on a single day for instance in august of 2013 moreover tens of thousands of people
1:29 pm
were rounded up oftentimes just sort of arbitrarily and thrown into thrown into jail many of them are still held. and you know estimates suggest that there are approximately 80000 political prisoners in egypt so people are quite literally terrified i think understandably so ok mohamed if you will predicting an uprising in say the next year or 2 a position spontaneous opposition with women's need a political policy or an embryonic policy or someone a potential president to rally around is this such a person or an organization in egypt today looking for what i mean look what happened to mohammed morsi. right well 1st of all i want to be clear i'm not necessarily predicting that there's going to be an uprising in the next year or 2 i
1:30 pm
understood many analysts many analysts believe that it's a matter of time until there is another uprising that could be a year it could be 5 years it could be 10 and nobody really knows. but you're right i think and it's a good question about the opposition you know this is the 1st time in egypt's history where you've had such a mass opposition movement in exile so you have academics you have journalists you have political leaders really situated in several different countries and they are they are organizing they are trying to organize political leadership they are trying to organize political parties on fortunately that you know the opposition remains divided over some of what happened in 2013 you still have sort of a liberal islamist divide among about opposition so i think until they kind of coalesce and come together and develop a shared vision it's going to be you let's say more unlikely that something happens
1:31 pm
on the ground we have to leave it there within the headlines in just a moment the high meant thank you so much for your time today. yes still to come here on the news for you an article of impeachment is set to be sent to the u.s. senate later on monday triggering the 2nd trial of donald trump. but nicholas on the on the edge of the atlantic in the city of san louis in senegal in what is a huge desk go world heritage sites being destroyed by the rising ocean find out why people are struggling to cope with a changing climate it's kind in sports manchester united not liverpool out of the english f.a. cup details coming up in about 20 minutes. well it's snowed in london a fairly rare event any significant snow from sort of in much of england as it's

a single on you continue to deteriorate and who only see it continue to see more people die or meet more people suffering in over the last 4 and 5 years really we have seen large international silence or indifference towards what's happening in egypt except for a few cases but send was a new administration we're hopeful that as a president biden has put it before that there would be more interest and human rights and there would be no blank checks to tarion leaders who are really abusing creation and undermining so life's in cases like is 10 miners died in the northeast of china after being trapped underground for 2 weeks they were among the $22.00 people caught in a blast at a gold mine in shandong province 11 being pulled to safety and one person is still missing. the indian army says there's been a minor faceoff between troops and chinese forces that happened in a pool area in the northeastern state of security last week china has urged india

to show restraint. earlier here on the news we mentioned the virtual summit that's taking place later today to discuss how to mitigate the effects of climate change one place under threat from rising sea levels is the situation louis and go france of the world bank have donated more than 40000000 dollars to help people living in the unesco world heritage site to adapt to climate change correspondent joins us live from poppen green seneca nick welcome to the new so give us a sense of the impacts of global warming there. well the city here and hoping to aid the impact of global warming is clearly visible look right behind me this is the house the kitchen completely destroyed next to it another bedroom destroyed again and you feel look right behind me one after the other homes that were toppled like dominoes from this peter look this is the ocean don't be fooled by the ocean here it's low tide it was one the lunar tide that destroyed and
1:39 pm
swept away all these homes in one go such is the force of climate change as such is the effect that this is having on populations here displacing entire communities here of perpignan they were right next to the summer residence of the presidential palace and they they built an embankment thinking that it would this would protect their homes instead it's creating even more destruction and it's not just happening here in perth in guinea it's happening across the coastline homes being destroyed by the rising ocean so how do population adapt to this well that's the challenge ahead and that's what's the discussion is is happening in the hague now this you nest go world heritage site well the french and the world bank have tried to protect it as best as they could but it's barely one metre above sea level and it's under threat take a look at this report. an unexpected time swept away set up.

calls home with it a lifetime of memories remember she says to her son at emma how in a matter of hours our living room where you used to watch t.v. kitchen and your bedroom were wiped away by the ocean's currents you now live on the outskirts of the city with thousands of others displaced a new life the city council told them to adapt to sound but being forced to live a difficult life here this was supposed to be temporary and we're living here now for 2 years there's no food no help and no sign from authorities anything will change we won't be able to return home. to save what is left of what used to be the capital of the colonial era french west africa france and the world bank have raised $40000000.00 for what they call climate adaptation the funds have so far been used to buy more tense educate displaced children and construct new embankments but when the tide recedes the ocean's destruction appears entire neighborhoods of a historic unesco world heritage site are swallowed into the atlantic in 2006 the
1:41 pm

1:46 pm
a sitting president mounted their real in campaign against the result deeming the process fraudulent and contesting it in dozens of courts all in vain. the supreme court including 3 off trump's picks simply ignored repeated requests to take up any of the cases and an increasingly frustrated president focused in on preventing the vote being certified in congress and pressing his vice president to at bandon his constitutional duty and prevent certification. once again in vain let's get back to work in a series of tweets he urged his supporters to come to the capitol to protest it will be wild he promised and when they arrived the article of impeachment alleges that then president incited them to riot now it is up to congress to confront

either from the prosecution or from the from the defense in the last trial then president trump was confident of the outcome is confidence in the decision not to republican controlled senate was not misplaced only one republican registered a guilty vote along side the democrats. but just over a year later the dynamics have changed and democrats have a slim majority in a senate that will act as jury healing and unity will only come if there is truth and accountability and that is what this trial will provide and if a minimum of 17 republicans vote to convict these could be the last pictures of donald trump holding any form of public office mike hanna al-jazeera washington columbia's former rebel group the fark has renamed its political party

1:51 pm
the over the all over. the. top of your sport is far peter thank you so much and i felt superstar tom brady will be playing in his record 10th super bowl on feb 7th the quarterback led his team the path of bay buccaneers to victory over the green bay packers a 43 year old in the box survived a 2nd have come back by the packers to win the n.f.c. championship $3126.00 brady will be aiming for his 7th super bowl title his 1st with tampa bay reigning champions the kansas city chiefs it will be the 1st time in history that a team plays the super bowl from their home stadium. you know it's taken a lot of different people over the course of a season often steve and special teams to come through and you know that's why
1:52 pm
we're still playing it will be 2 teams are playing we're going to be one of them and again just an incredible journey for all of us and just proud to be a part of it for more on this story we're joined by american sports broadcaster michael carlson to do what brady has done at $43.00 at a new team how big of an achievement is that. i think it's absolutely huge that there aren't many quarterbacks the n.f.l. who have even had successful seasons at that age and to join a new team admittedly a pretty good team that was just lacking in one or 2 things including a quarterback who wouldn't turn the ball over. and then it came to the super bowl it is an amazing feat and when you look back at brady's time with the patriots in and how many super bowls and how many conference championships games he's been to it's something that's really unmatched in team sports in the u.s. . patriots it was argued that brady was part of the success not necessarily the
1:53 pm
reason for their success is that you changing now do you think. i don't think so i think what he had in bill belichick his coach what was a kind of perfect symmetry and he was able to adjust his game to whatever game plan the patriots were using in a given week which often changed dramatically unlike most teams in the n.f.l. and year by year so in some years they were a running team when they had randy moss they were a deep passing team apt to that they were short passing team and brady adjusted brilliantly i don't think there are many quarterbacks who read the game as well as he does which is a huge part of playing the position as much if not more so than having the really strong arm that a lot of quarterbacks do and it took he and syrians his new head coach a little while to adjust to each other but i think what we've seen in the 2nd half of the season and in the playoffs is that brady and areas are pretty much on the
1:54 pm
same page ok brady versus hatch from our homes and the kansas city chiefs considering the age difference or what are your thoughts. now well you know as an old guy myself i'm always rooting for the old guys but patrick moore holmes is really the poster boy for the n.f.l. now of the kind of star quarterback who who can make spectacular plays with which just to put his wrist and he to has a coach who he's perfectly suited for a guy who likes to run wide open often soon andy reid and we saw that yesterday when the chiefs as they often do went down 9 nothing early in the game and then came back and against the bills team he was trying to keep them contained were able to break through that containment regularly and look good part of that is my home so i think you'll see that contrast in styles more homes will move around tom brady
1:55 pm
likes to sit in the pocket at 43 doesn't like to have to run too often and you know frankly the last 2 weeks tampa bay's the fence has really been the key to their wins ok brady in the 1st half yesterday was brilliant and made a couple of fantastic throws in the 2nd half his throwing was a bit off and he's not going to be able to get away with that against the chiefs all right thank you so much for your time mark michael cetera as his they will mark the one year anniversary since the tragic death of basketball legend kobe bryant bryant was killed on the 26th of january in a helicopter crash along with his daughter jana he was $41.00 koby spent his entire 20 year playing career with the l.a. lakers lakers all-star for the bron james to comment to reflect on bryant's and. well manchester united have knocked liverpool out of the english f.a. cup the team shared 5 goals that was united's bruno fernandez who scored the winner and secured his team a place in the threats around to hell malik reports. for
