a registered in indonesia will be live with our correspondent in jakarta. ugandan security forces leave bobby wines home where he's been on the house arrest. a 2nd impeachment trial for donald trump the u.s. senate formally begins the process that could bar him from ever holding office again. we begin in india where tens of thousands of farmers have descended on the nation's capital new delhi and the biggest show yet of strength against the government have entered the red fort and blocked roads some protesters managed to break through police barricades meant to stop them from reaching the city center that's where a large military and cultural parade was being held to mark india's republic day

take a look these are live pictures we're showing you from the capital city where farmers have been demonstrating now for months against new rules which they say will destroy their livelihoods and favor knowledge as mrs it's come up so the ag jobs the use of our enemies that these multi government should take these 3 laws back so that the farmers get their rights back the government has paused these laws without any discussions we got a new call it is as if the. imposed them the government should revert all the laws except how they you know i mean the end tack on to watch is delhi on republic day so when the truck has rolled into the city on this day then the message goes on which the farmers quiet is not all of us it is just who are fighting for authorised by entering the city. let's get more on this we can speak to heart our single and let's go at it have a caravan which is a current affair as a political news magazine he joins us from new delhi hottest many thanks for speaking to us on al-jazeera can you explain what exactly about these new norse

forms a so angry about looking sort of part of the negative system the farmers specially from the 2 sticks that the protesters are from been germany are not the eastern states. produce the majority of the me a surplus of whom gain speed and grace and this is usually pick you want by the government to a system of a designated that you wouldn't centers run by the government the new laws and decide your family private system. and what the government and the farmers at a feed off it is a line court critics predict lean the put change the point that in this breaking down of this system of a short races and government backing like a culture and leaving them one little pressure from large corporations i did that dave this would be disastrous in the long term for them how to us is essentially

india's agriculture system is in general needs an overhaul is that what the government is trying to do here though. look a nobody i think not even the farmers themselves are saying that they need to be changes that have to be made what the causing is the kind of changes the government has proposed and passed the don't much discussion certainly not with the farmers through the heart of the plan to make these laws that wrote into the bank bill passed on them and we don't much uncertainty action and the pharmacy they've been short changed in the process you touched on it that many of the farm is protesting are from punjab which is in the northwest of the country why why are so many of the protests protesters from there. as i said the government machinery which is sort of ridiculous keep getting it is most active in punjab it is the largest grain producing region of india i mean since the great endeavor you should 50 years ago when how you get a piece of crops such as wheat and graceful planted in india that race is been sort

of the whole ball of india and this is clear that changes in the law will have the most it impact on farms these are also the possible the means to points that is the mean school each daily and to be most local about what they feel is going wrong so the government has offered to amend the laws and suspend implementation for 18 months which the farm is have rejected. what do you think is going to happen next because clearly looking at these live pictures the movement is very very strong. clear to see the demons of the 30 minute promise i'm going to be not a productive one of these this protest has been building up for the past 3 months to protest it for a month and a half and punjab a month and a half on the other starts a bit early and to be they've entered. the government has negotiated it has been slow in making offers and concessions and each point of dying concessions which may

have worked months back in terms of the protests being made by complete the farmer suspect the government's intentions it was clear to me yesterday that there was going to be apparently more lazy ssion to match india's official republican maybe celebrating the constitution and it was clear that the farmers would be entering day after announcement some of the farm leaders but it seems to me that the government nor the police force in delhi was prepared for this. it seems to some extent that even the farm leaders themselves are no longer in complete control of the protest the next step in the protests how the protests mobilize there it stops big deal only article because even stepping down by this evening nobody can be a great knowledge sure where this will end ok qatar saying bell good to speak to. the caravan which is the current affairs a political news magazine joining us there from delhi.

you're watching al-jazeera mind of our top stories this hour tens of thousands of farmers descended on the nation's capital new delhi in the biggest show of strength yet against the government and the red fort blocked roads some protesters broke through police barricades meant to stop them reaching the city center that's where a large military and cultural parade was being held to mark india's republic day bombers have been demonstrating for months against new rules which they say will destroy their livelihoods and favor knowledge of business. ugandan security forces have vacated the home of prominent opposition leader bobby weiner off to court

ordered them to leave on monday the high court directed the police and the military to leave winds residence has been on the house arrest since uganda's presidential election on the 14th of january. as go to the united states where the stage has been set for donald trump's 2nd impeachment trial the 1st ever for an american president members of the u.s. house of representatives have presented their case for impeachment to the senate trump has been charged with inside saying the violent mob attack on congress earlier this month castro reports from capitol hill. it was just 2 and a half weeks ago that the statues of great americans passed looked on as a pro trump mob desecrated the u.s. capitol. now they watch as house impeachment managers marched past to the senate bearing papers that charge former president trump with inciting an insurrection

donald trump engaged in high crimes and misdemeanors by inciting violence against the government of the united states. the accusation relates to the events of january 6th when trump gave a speech to supporters telling them to march to the capitol and fight like hell is young never take back our country with weakness you have to show strength. the riders broke into the legislative chambers in a failed effort to stop congress from certifying joe biden's election when 5 people died as a result president trump gravely endangered the security of the united states and its institutions of government he threatened the integrity of the democratic system interfered with the peaceful transition of power and imperil a co-equal branch of government if these proceedings look familiar it's because there are repeat of events from

a year ago when trump was impeached the 1st time he's now the only u.s. president who's been impeached twice and the only one to be tried after leaving office some republicans have argued that should make this impeachment illegal the constitutional experts say otherwise from constitutional structure and from our history there is no reason to suppose that he cannot now be tried and convicted on the article of impeachment that was voted while he was still president trump was acquitted in his 1st impeachment when only one senate republican voted against him conviction this time around would require the votes of 17 republican senators then and only then could a simple majority in the senate vote to bar trump from holding future public office polls show a slim majority of americans do want trump to suffer that consequence. far

but as the january 6th riots fades further into memory more republicans appear to be leaning away from conviction the legal teams now have 2 weeks to prepare before the trial begins in mid february heidi joe castro al-jazeera washington. health crisis appears to be unfolding at military barracks used to help hundreds of asylum seekers in the united kingdom or than a quarter of them have tested positive for corona virus many say it's impossible to socially distance trying to help travel to the site in kent in southeast england to speak to those inside. they've survived oppression poverty and war but for many the worst part of escaping has been arriving in great britain what is life like in this . widely battle last week 100 it was all about 130 years old boy was up to everybody everybody this is not a lot of

a lot of people really are coded 19 is the latest hardship they face a recent outbreak has infected more than a quarter of the $400.00 asylum seekers housed at this former military barracks behind the curtain a man who has tested positive this is what passes for isolation and social distancing. in a statement the government blamed residents themselves for failing to take proper precautions in response they addressed an open letter to all british citizens when we are becoming more and more mentally vulnerable and physically ill due to the covert outbreak ministers are intentionally ignoring us and trying their best to cover up the disaster in this army camp. i spoke to the man who wrote the letter signed by 200 of his fellow residents he wanted to remain anonymous. i want to live.

for you. oh like many who've been here at napier barracks for months denied access to legal assistance and with no idea how long their claims for asylum might take a combination of derelict there's little access to medical or mental health care one for 400 people there been suicide attempts and hunger strikes in protest at the way they're being treated and it's alleged that staff from the private company appointed by the government to manage this and other facilities like it over warn the refugees that if they speak out in any way they'll risk jeopardizing their asylum claims they've got 4 principles of schools aerospace engineers barbers. internationally recognized chefs and athletes. and

chip chip to find yourself somewhere like this surrounded by barbed wire fencing when you think this this is the country that you are going to to make your life and contribute to society but this society is putting you in a camp like this and leaving you there in invade with no answer to your asylum claim they came hoping for something better they can't have imagined this i don't know how al-jazeera can't. dozens of people in the netherlands have been arrested as protests against lockdown measures continued for a 3rd night's. was in the city of harlem demonstration is set fires and fought with police other protest sides included the port city of russell the demonstrations angry at the imposition of a covert curfew is the 1st nighttime restriction on movement since world war 2. more protests have been held in lebannon over worsening living conditions and

a strict coronavirus lockdown. this is the northern city of tripoli where security forces fired tear gas and rubber bullets to disperse crowds after demonstrators threw stones at a government building. in tunisia has surpassed 1000000 cases of corona virus this is according to the latest government figures the rate of infections has been steadily climbing in the country for months now more than 10000 have been reported every day in recent weeks i speak to our correspondent jessica washington who joins us on the phone from jakarta this is a pretty grim milestone jessica. it is a grim milestone indonesia is now the 1st country in southeast asia to pass 1000000 cases but unfortunately that number doesn't even give an indication of the covered

19 crisis here in indonesia indonesia's health minister himself has admitted that they have had issues with data collection and with low rates of testing so this 1000000 is really just probably a small number of the actual reality on the ground and stepping away from the numbers you can get a sense of these crisis in this country by talking to doctors who some of them in their long careers of working in the medical system in indonesia say for the 1st time they've been forced to turn away patients simply because there is no room in their intensive care units there's no room in the hospitals the crisis is particularly pronounced here in the capital city but it's also being felt across the most populous island of java and the island of bali as well we've also heard not only from health workers but from grave diggers as well who say that even though the confirmed death toll is 28468 they believe the crisis is much worse they say they've never been busier that they are overworked and we do expect to

hear from him in ages health minister incoming minutes and potentially they could be some news on further restrictions but we will advise as soon as we've heard from them. just as you say the numbers in indonesia some of the highest in asia why is it that the country's been struggling so hard to contain the virus. well it's a good question even before the pandemic indonesia's health care system has had issues with a shortage of doctors and across this archipelago there are more than 6000 inhabited islands and varying degrees of health care as you sort of go to more remote provinces but i think ultimately the major disappointment from health care workers has been the reluctance on the part of the government to really strongly enforce any sort of serious measures to curb the spread of this virus right now the positivity right of code 19 a mid term data is close to 30 percent now the recommended for the recommended

percentage is around 5 percent from the world health organization so that gives you a sense of really how things have spiraled in indonesia how quick is the calling for stricter protocol but as far as things are now in the capital city for the most part life is normal many businesses are still open people can still go out to restaurants and eat and this sort of been a delicate balancing act but the government has been reluctant to pass you any sort of hard lockdown or serious measures to curb the spread of the virus for fear of what it would do to indonesia's economy and in particular informal workers who rely on a daily wage. many things about. australia's national day has been marked with process demonstrators run late and that me they call national day invasion day as it commemorates the moment british ship arrived to colonize the continent the genocide original people were killed and evil in the process. and we aboriginal people certainly do not sport. for us it represents

cultural genocide. internationally. if you know the string theory and if it's time we make. it's not that they don't bring the issues that we're sacrificing the strike. so until we start getting justice is that's introduced in this country will not stop on the opening day of it numbs communist party congress leader and food praise the countries beaming economy and success in keeping the pandemic at bay hundreds of delegates have gathered in hanoi to select leaders for the next 5 years. one of the few nations still on the one policy government strong is expected to be reappointed as the powerful polity general secretary. thousands of indigenous people in southeast bangladesh up and forced out of their villages because of global warming or to resources in the
