from. what activists call on u.s. president joe biden to do more to change america's immigration policy. and i'm peter stone who supports the olympics on not in doubt that's according to organizers in tokyo they say none of their partners have raised objections to hosting the games in july. we begin with renewed protests in lebanon this hour amid anger at lockdown measures and government corruption security forces are firing tear gas and was a candidate hundreds of protesters who gathered in tripoli last night one person was killed there and 200 people were injured. well thousands joined the funeral procession for the victims they chanted slogans against the ruling class many say they'll continue to demonstrate until their demands that we take you

live to tripoli a little later or to lebanon a little later in the program meanwhile russia's most prominent opposition leader alexina valmy is calling for mass protests after a court ruled that he should be kept in jail until his next hearing he's accused of violating the terms of the previous sentence by traveling to germany that's where he was treated for poisoning an attack that he blames on the government a judge has rejected his appeal in a process described by the as a farce. i understand my rights and i want to draw the attention of the court to the fact that since i was detained i've not had a single opportunity to meet with my lawyers in private not a single one. and the government crackdown is widening several friends and allies of the valley including his brother have been arrested in a moment we'll be live in moscow but 1st al-jazeera same destroy the reports on the valley's ordeal. opposition leader alexina vul me supporters have been protesting

for weeks with thousands arrested across the country on wednesday police turned their attention to his friends and family the russian police raided nirvana's moscow apartment and detained his brother oleg. they also raided the apartment where his wife lives. they break my door in and then not letting in my lawyer. and we just to see what we see that a series of raids on members of the anti corruption foundation were launched today it's a clear him preacher does by relation of the right of the fence as a lawyer i can see that you yes rights are violated as well as rights of those who are deprived of lawyers. alexina vollies personal doctor was also a target honest as you have us so you have a continued to play the piano as police raided her home.

and kremlin sentiment has rarely been this public during president vladimir putin's time in power no volley analysts say will be looking to make the most of it. which is jokes you know what what alexei nobody wants to do now is to prepare for a situation when he and the main opposition leader can become a real contender for power in washington president joe biden's new secretary of state was straightforward in his assessment as i say we have a deep concern for mr have all the safety and security and the larger point is that. his voice is the voice of many many many russians and it should be heard not by. russia's political opposition is likely to face tougher resistance if anti-government protests keep pace but with a new president in the white house they have a powerful new ally on the global stage zain bus ravi al jazeera.

alexandra got for us live for us in moscow and joins us now alexandra why did the court deny of all the bail when he was unconscious when he left the country. well this hearing today was about this decision to keep him in detention until the other hearing the hearing about the probation violation so the court to just said everything that was decided when he was detained when landing in moscow was illegal in the vine is legal thing was arguing that not only didn't have the correct and right access to his lawyers that also there was basically no independent sort of the court secured because the court was in the police station and the prosecuting part was the police but judge didn't think anything of importance so he after a very short of deliberation this missed this appeal and uphold the previous the

previous season when it comes to what is basically the main thing that is the hearing that is coming next week on the charges that he violated his probation what to the prison authorities are saying that he didn't report himself as he was supposed to that the he didn't report himself when they send the letter to which was like on the 28th in the evening and he was supposed to be on the 29th of december in the morning which was physically impossible and they are not thinking that it is a valid reason that actually send by proper channels a letter in which he stated that he's in germany where he's recovering from being poisoned and that he needs time to recover from that that he even gave an address but that was not taken into account neither today nor it was taken into account when he was arrested upon upon the landing so what now vialli is saying is that 1st

of all the warrant for his arrest is not according to the law neither is his arrest so what happens to the valley in the mid to long term. well enough i mean i didn't have any expectations today that the outcome would be any different and like him also not there is not many people in the russia who think. the court next week will decide anything else but basically to put him in prison for a couple of years there is additional charges new charges against him that are coming one is on allegedly offending there and of war the other is on the alleged embezzlement of his own corruption foundation that i have to say throughout the previous year saw the financial police regulate it coming and finding nothing for

instance and the position here things in the valley himself things that this is all part of basically political prosecution prosecution that is meant to scare him and scare everybody that objects to the way russia is run and that objects to the forty's and this was also connected with that his main message today from from the courtroom that he's not afraid that no one else should be afraid that there is a lot of people think alike and that they should all basically say that on the streets of moscow alexandra good for reporting live from moscow alexandra many thanks indeed rachel demba is the deputy director for europe and central asia human rights watch she says that russia has used every tool at its disposal against developing. we can always hope for a fair trial but i have to say that the past does not bode well for us or for a fair trial for him next week the very fact that he's in custody now that they've kept him in custody while awaiting what's basically

a decision on whether he should be put in jail for a previously politically motivated. case against him i think that already bodes very very badly he should not be in jail now and he should not be in jail as a result of next week the later proceedings this is an all out front. against against alex and of ali and he and his supporters and and also people who came out in the streets to protest not just his detention but also to air just their their general grievances with about about corruption and like they have they have they really they have spared no effort to undermine and to undermine the law to. intimidate protesters to i mean they arrested record numbers of people on on saturday the kremlin is going to listen to something that they don't want to hear is weak and that is predictable there's still

a question about doing the right thing and the right thing is to speak out. lebanon where security forces firing tear gas and water count of the hundreds of protesters who gathered once again in the mall and city of tripoli al-jazeera saying a honda is there and joins us now live so they know what's the latest. well another day of protests they who are in fact in the lebanese return to the streets to protest the dire living conditions of the coronavirus lock down that doesn't allow many of these people here to earn. its anger yesterday there was a serious escalation when security forces used live ammunition and a protester was killed what we understand from doctors is that the 1st casualties since this protest began on monday that he was shot in the back he suffered

gunshot wounds and in fact we were here yesterday and we did hear live ammunition what hasn't been. made clear at the moment is whether or not the security forces were firing in the air or whether they were shooting at the protesters as some protesters and activists allege we tried to speak to human rights organizations they say it's still too early in the video in order to substantiate those claims but human rights groups have repeatedly criticized security forces in lebanon for using heavy handed tactics against protesters ever since the uprising began on october 2019 so a lot of actor in the streets many wounded over the past 4 days for people here it's not just about economic support during a coronavirus long for many people here they wanted to leave their city they

believe that the authorities have really neglected for benny many years and they want to bet. in life and this is why they are returning to the states of thumb clear whether or not they're going to see a gun fight later today because the internal security forces are accusing some of the protestors of you think they can see down the street is there. the main one of them a government building and this impoverished city where protests have been trying to do the past 4 nights in storm the 3rd reich and that is where they live but security forces. zain in lebanon central bank governor and the head of the central banks banking control commission have been charged with negligence and misuse of power for mismanagement of funds what's the significance of that. well this is definitely

a blow to the central bank governor of new york who have been enough the same for 3 decades now but the state prosecutor who issued both of sorts this is seen. as an ally of the president and they are considering these accusations these charges politicized seen as an ally for the president who is part of the rolling alliance who believe that for the army they want to replace them with one. another for laughs but also because you consider pro-american but at the same time we are and i mean i believe has denied the accusations he says that he is being targeted and that he's the central bank governor he gives the money to the states to spend it in the state system in the city the politicians who spend the money and are responsible for the things the state so this started by state prosecutor legal experts have told us that this is not the jurisdiction to do this

because. the bank governor you need the financial prosecutor to do the job so they are sitting there for part of a political struggle in the country but undoubtedly different more clear on the central bank governor who's faced who's facing a probe by the west to this ill afford to us who are accusing him of embezzling central bank funds and illegal in france very $400000000.00 abroad he denies the purpose of authorities are continuing are going to question him very slowly and last year he said although they were nationwide protests that were mostly focused on the capital beirut why is this happening now today in tripoli. well people here are just for grins there are people in beirut activists who have been. falling for protests but at the same time they're weighing the fact that

there is a lockdown there's a serious health crisis in this country the number of coronavirus place this is one of the steepest the rise is one of the steepest in the world and hospitals are struggling so many activists that we've been speaking to are saying we want to take to the streets as well to show support to the people of tripoli but we can't do that because of the safety precautions that need to be taken but just looking around at all these young princes these young men are unemployed and yesterday when we were speaking to people here they told us you accused of pearling stones of trying to storm a government building one for decades you did nothing to improve the economy in our city nothing to improve services and many of these people are unemployed many of them are day laborers so they go earn. a few dollars a day they will be able to see their kids if you've been speaking to leave associations in the city and they say that number is

a feed people who are calling them and requesting assistance is increasing by the day including people who are considered middle class and it's not just in tripoli this is across lebanon on the front street is that the currency for the last more than 55 percent of the population is now of a poor but many activists who we've been seeing people as well saying that this makes no sense for us to keep returning to the street when we are faced by a military vise state who uses excessive force who are arrest contains us intimidate us and yet we cannot change the balance of power they are now trying to do this through other means by raising awareness and hoping that in the next election they will be able to change the balance of power in parliament so there is a deep crisis here this is not new this is not about *. the freeway coronavirus lockdown that the allow people to work because yesterday when we were here that was

very little compliance with the lockdown measures people were in the streets of selling coffee selling vegetables this is more about their future they say that you want to better life you deserve a better life and with those in power we're not going to get that and yesterday the u.n. official the top u.n. official it never thought he was warning that this freefall this is the way he described the situation in lebanon he said the free fall into the if not. it's not. anything if not public to drive on what will come next in this country because there is so much anger and so much sense in the face i'll just arizona hold our reporting live from tripoli in northern lebanon for the moment but. this is that you saw from our series still to come on the program warnings of white supremacist attacks us curiously officials as you argue with us about the threat of so-called domestic terrorist. like the dates another example violation of human rights and

female rights over here in poland thousands of people depend descend on the polish capital after a court imposes a near total ban all abortions. in pakistan take control of the 1st cricket test against south africa peter here but that the rest of the place was a little less. germany's vaccine panel will recommend astra zeneca job for only people of only for people under 65 years old in a draft recommendation the committee says there isn't enough data on how effective it is for those who are older european regulators are said to issue that assertion on the vaccine on friday there's been growing tension between astra zeneca and the e.u. after the drug company said the delivery of millions of doses would be delayed due to supply chain issues let's go live that of berlin al-jazeera still mccain can

tell us more dominic what's the latest on the route between the e.u. and astra zeneca. well the interesting thing here adrian is that the 2 sides yesterday after a meeting between them sent both of them sent that they'd been constructive talks positive talks but nothing definitive emerged from it and then it's become quite clear today that at the request of the european commission belgian officials sent investigators to astra zeneca plant near brussels to find out well to ask questions about where the doses that were being compiled that were being sent to look at the figures look at the paperwork and that sort of thing and then today we know that the president of the european council shalmi shell has written to 4 different e.u. leaders and in what he has written he has suggested that perhaps legal means might be necessary to guarantee that the e.u.

receives the doses the stocks of the vaccines that it has signed on to receive if you see what i mean so given the fact that we know that the e.u. had signed up to receive definitively 300000000 doses of astra zeneca is a vaccine with the potential for 100000000 doses well that's pretty clear we see where the e.u. is going with that now the thing to point out here is that there are different reports from different sources most of them unconfirmed about some suggestion in one german newspaper that perhaps there may be some resolution of this particular issue between the e.u. and astra zeneca tomorrow the friday but as i say that's unconfirmed just one source here one newspaper here in germany so clearly on the one hand you have public declarations of positivity and constructive talks and on the other hand you have what the authorities have actually been doing in certainly in belgium but also the views that are being expressed to leaders of the e.u. across the cross the board of course that the vaccine we're talking about here has

they've not been approved yet by european regulators what's the latest on that. yes that's right it's worth recalling here that that astra zeneca as vaccine is not officially vailable for use in across the entire e.u. until it's approved by the e.u. now the approval process is supposed to happen tomorrow on friday but interestingly we have seen here in berlin that the scientific commission which advises the german government the german health ministry about vaccine approvals and that sort of thing is said that because of an insufficiency of data regarding the way that the vaccine operates in those over 65 that it believes that the vaccine should not be approved for those over 65 until more data has been collated and has been analyzed now interesting lee the federal health minister who in effect that commission reports to the end sram the federal health minister has said has played down this

these suggestions that there's anything definitive there because of course the decision might devolve to him anyway certainly in germany and he said well let's wait to see how things. are decided upon at the e.u. level which will happen on friday one final thought then we know that public health england which would be the regulator re body which would approve vaccine uptake in use in england anyway which has already approved the use of astra zeneca as vaccine has said that it understands this idea that there is not a great deal of data about the performance of the vaccine in the over 60 five's but that 1st analysis has been very reassuring so i gives you a sense of what's being said by the relevant regulator e bodies and scientific commissions in the e.u. and in the u.k. are just taught to cain reporting live from berlin dominic many thanks indeed. pakistan's supreme court has upheld an earlier decision to release a man convicted then acquitted of murdering the wall street journal reporter daniel

pearl in 2002 john just dismissed efforts by danielle pols family and the pakistan government to keep the british born ahmed omar saeed sheikh in jail the wall street journal's editor in chief has reacted calling it an infuriating it in and unjust decision he says they'll continue to support efforts to hold to account those responsible for the brutal murder of danny fizzles the key is a lawyer for the parents of the late daniel pearl he's also a constitutional criminal lawyer and joins us now live from karachi in pakistan good to have you with us. first of all your reaction to this court order upholding the decision to release this man my 1st reaction is of course one of sadness that the agony of the bad and so all the late daniel. has not ended has not been ignited again

because of this judgment which is daily a travesty of justice. on the judgment it said of of course i find the judgment not simply wrong but actually shocking. the reason i say that is because a deal before this judgment which is yesterday. who is the principal accused in this case has actually admitted to raping the negative in which he headed knitted to his rule in the kidnapping for ransom of daniel and his lawyer that actually admitted that he thought that collected and their character was submitted before the court so even after there to michigan they're connected to equipped. specially emma the machine of all judges can legally be described as nothing but talking so what legal options are open to you

now so. we'll deal with one levy collection of in after that an appeal has been dismissed by the supreme court just to find a review of this judgment before the supreme court itself. on that of course the family has not given me any instructions but i would advise them to fight it if you and the reason for that is that this is not a unanimous judgment then with 3 judges. judges have equipped to do much shift and the rest of the accused but one of the judges as actually convicted them of the much shift for a life sentence with the could not being for ransom all of the daniel so it's really the differences between one judge it's a split judgment saw in such cases i think. usually you'd ways

clients to file reviews and if all legal options are exhausted within pakistan is this to the option perhaps to pursue this man on the u.s. law. i really can't comment on that because i'm not a vendor of the date is it means i murdered by any court in the us regarding this particular. good knapping for ransom murder of daniel pearl. and then to order that there are not any of the charges against him pending in the us so i can't really comment on that but. what is a very event. there are other cases pending against him in pakistan because 'd he is also being accused by the bucket son authorities of

a number of what their c.d.'s offenses in 2009 the authorities broke up e.g. . by islamic militants for his release then it is said not to 2009 story in 2016 then it is said that in 2011 he pretended to be the prime minister of india who call to the prime minister of park is to the president of pakistan are symphonies and that he saw what is not of it of what other charges are pending with the puck a son authorities and you never know there could be tried for those charges those. many thanks indeed feisal so they could have a lawyer for the parents of the attorney or paul. we'll get a weather update next here on al-jazeera then the greek government wants to put police officers inside university campuses and students think otherwise. take

. hello again this is the news hour from al-jazeera adrian sort of with you here in doha the headlines security forces in lebanon are firing tear gas and water cannon the protesters in tripoli that angry at lockdown measures government corruption and the failing economy. russia's most prominent opposition leader alexina valmy is calling for mass protests after a pool but he should be kept in jail is accused of violating parole by leaving to germany where he was treated for poisoning. germany's vaccine panel will recommend astra zeneca job only for people under the age of $65.00 because of a lack of data on the effects on older people european regulators said to issue

their decision of the vaccine on friday. u.s. president joe biden has been in office for a week now activists say that's long enough to pressure him to deliver change immigration was an important battleground between republicans and democrats and since biden's victory there have been calls for quick reform america childfree reports. 8 days into office and another challenge for president joe biden who's left over from the trump era immigration reform pardon removed the ban on travelers from several muslim majority countries on his 1st day in office immigration rights activists want him to do more quickly. on his the floor. and it's just going to be possible for all of us. c. they want to the u.s. as children to remain and be given permission to work something that was allowed

under president obama this also calls for why the immigration reform. for my family and i'd like it's crazy it drives me crazy and president biden and his inauguration speech it's time to be bold. president biden and vice president. and. leave now people cannot meet it anymore far away from washington that the u.s. mexican border former president donald trump's policies are still in place. those seeking asylum under trumped what detained in the u.s. and sent back across the border to wait for that outcome in mexico a process that can take months even years we hope those who have been put in remain in mexico will be able to make their asylum cases from the safety of the united states and outside of detention but again we haven't seen our direction from the

bargaining restriction on exactly what's going to happen so there's a lot of uncertainty on the part of those in the remaining mexico program. and around $65000.00 people were returned to mexico during the trumpet ministration biden's white house says the program will stop but there's no clarity on what will happen to those still in detention. before the make up don't send me back i ask you please to look at me i am gotcha and you will see that things are tough over there there is no work there's crime i can't take it anymore that's why i have come here i have a family here and that's why we are looking to cross i came by bus he took a month to come here by bus. just a little more than a week after coming into office president biden faces many expectations from americans and those who wish to become one in the navy.

and president biden is expected to sign an executive order in the coming hours the dame's to give more people access to health insurance something that many of course need during the current pandemic for more on that let's go to our white house correspondent kelly how could he joins us now live from washington so kimberly another day another executive order what can we expect. yeah fact there are 2 executive orders that are expected by president biden to be signed around 1930 or rather 1830 g.m.t. the 1st one as you point out is something that is vital the buy the administration says during covert 19 and that is the opportunity to expand the affordable care act or what many in the united states call obamacare this means that it will be opened up for 90 days and those who do not have affordable health insurance will be able to get it and the argument is that health care is a right not

a privilege and so that's why joe biden says he's doing this now the other thing that will be happening within this executive order is something to do with expanding reproductive rights or access to abortion care not inside the united states but outside the united states there is going to be an effort to roll back a rule that blocked federal funding for a international aid groups that supplied counseling and access to abortion so that is something that is also being done within this now this is somewhat controversial because as you pointed out adrian that it's another day another sign of an executive order in fact by the end of the day joe biden will have signed $42.00 executive orders just to put that into context president trump it is 1st we could done 5 rather 4 and brock obama had done 5 so many people are already started raising few eyebrows saying hey look you can't legislate with the stroke of a pen you have to involve congress but as we know that has not been easy for years

in this very divided nation so that is why joe biden is pushing forward with these executive orders and breaking new records as he does it on the serious committee how could reporting live from washington can believe anything. well the u.s. is facing weeks of domestic threats from people who are angry at donald trump's election defeat since the finding of an investigation ordered by president joe biden last week the department of homeland security says there is no specific or credible threat at this time but washington is still on high alert after hundreds of trump supporters raided the capitol building earlier this month last year that a pop and identified $199.00 white supremacist groups it warned that individuals from these groups are responsible for violent crimes and racist attacks while dozens of white supremacists who appear on a government watch list were allowed to travel and attend the trial rallies at least 5000 bashful guard troops are staying in washington for the next few weeks

the trump's 2nd impeachment trial matthew schmidt is associate professor of national security and political science at the university of new haven he joins us now live via skype from new haven good to have you with us matthew just how much of a threat to homeland extremists pose in the u.s. . they pose the greatest threat the united states right now since 911 domestic terrorism in united states has caused you know more deaths or injuries than any other form of terrorism the f.b.i. for a number of years now has listed white supremacist groups or anti-government groups of a storage as the number one threat that they're facing how then does the u.s. go about directing its homeland extremists. that's neutrik an interesting question for the united states part of the problem here is legal because of 1st amendment free speech protections it's actually quite difficult for the government to classify even a militia as a terrorist group in

a legal sense and then as far as the question of de radicalization the united states doesn't have experience in doing anything like that from the government down that kind of work has tended to be done by nonprofit organizations like the southern poverty law or going to zation or other churches or things like that but it's not banned directly organized by the government so how do you go about solving the problem dismantling these groups can it be done. i'm not sure that you can in a sense instrumental icing the process i think it's going to take a long period of time it takes effort from private industry to suppress non-factual speech on social media platforms like facebook and twitter which we're finally starting to see it takes work by schools and by churches here in the u.s. a lot of the right wing extremism he's tied into a variant of christianity what i would call christian is

a. which and in this way is not unlike the kind of extremism you see that comes out of you know perversions of religion in other parts of the world in the middle east which the u.s. is more more likely to sort of understand they need to reflect back on our own version of it and and it will take a long long time it reflects in the end i think the difference between a portion of the population that is trying to hold on to a vision of what they think america was like in the past and their tension with where america is going in the future that it will be less white you know less male and less christian really gets to you so many thanks indeed for being with us matthew schmitt that from the university of new have pleasure. a new court ruling has come into force in poland that makes abortion almost totally illegal that's despite women holding the biggest protests in recent history to oppose the verdict tens of thousands took to the streets on wednesday night and more demonstrations

they can in some areas but they can't in most parts because fighting is still going on the to guy people's liberation front militias who been fighting if you appear in federal forces have tunde into a good outfit of sorts going in the small of bombs and cutting out attacks against the federal forces as well as government installations in different parts of the ticket region and that is why they cannot gain access to most parts of the think about average and of course even before the conflict began there was hundreds of thousands of people who. who needed to be fed on top of the thousands upon thousands of editor and refugees who've been living in that particular we didn't so there's so many layers to these humanitarian problem and on top of that the. fish also held the press conference today and mentioned that most

of the medical centers on hospitals in the region have been looted the during the conflict and even in the past few weeks something that is making life even more bearable for the people who are still stuck in that equation and saudi arabia has begun to deport sousing survey see if you and migrants detained in the kingdom these images show the 1st batch of nearly 300 men arriving back in at a suburb they made the dangerous trip across the horn of africa through yemen into saudi arabia looking for work ethiopia says that it hopes to repatriate at least $1000.00 workers every week from a total of $40000.00 migrants. after an air month long quiet period the u.k. soup seaports to france and belgium are expected to get back to normal this week but businesses are watching anxiously having to battle through new export paperwork brought in after briggs's for some it may it may be in saying farewell to their
