of people coming out of that balconies banging pots and pans and drums people in the streets who were hanging hollins in support you could see the knife all across the city it was really quite a moving moment as you say as really so how many people are unhappy with this how many people one have their voices how many people want to do something but at least from the safety of their own home that seems like the last sets today of course we've also heard about the civil disobedience campaign which has been called on by barry equips including the young gun youth network i spoke to one of their advisors and. finally just yesterday and she said they've been overwhelmed by the response of how many people are backing this campaign how many people including celebrities high profile people so there is a lot of support for that what the civil disobedience campaign will look like is like me government will. not fulfill the duties essentially so it's almost like

a sort of strike because there's so many government led organizations not to obviously have been taken over by the military and so they're showing that resistance by refusing to what how this is going to play out and hustles main to be seen as incredibly warring we're obviously in the middle of a global pandemic kobe has been hit mammo harder than it has to other areas in the region and it could have a pretty should be it impacts code patients in fact by law have to go to government hospitals private clinics private hospitals aren't really allowed to take uncovered patients he's written about all covered places plus. many of the sick people what about the woman at the center of all this on film suchi any more details emerging about her whereabouts. we are pretty sure she's in her hands being detained it happened i was in the capital made people we've had reports from and of

the spokesperson jiko who posted on facebook saying that she's in good health and that she is remains in her high was and apparently that information came from a neighbor who's seen her walking around the come times which is something that she sometimes does to show people that she's safe in good health and i will also hearing generalists who spoken to other end of the source says that there is room most all there is some news that she may be released and sent back to yemen gone in the coming days but there's been no real confirmation on that it's just sort of the what on the street at the moment and not yet to be confirmed by any and all the members on the record or any kind of official statement at a phenomenal things of a foul of one of the few foreign journalist based in myanmar bringing us the very latest on the minute she came to ramifications. on tuesday the u.n. security council held a meeting on the developments in myanmar but stopped short of taking immediate

action on top a matter geddes and james bays reports the un security council met in closed session but they couldn't agree a statement condemning what's happened in myanmar in recent days they heard from the u.n. special envoy christina shriner berg and she told them that. she had been moved from the place that she's been detained in to house arrest the spokes person for the u.n. secretary general though said that was still an acceptable and as a 1st step all detainees needed to be released the special envoy said that given the apparent commitment by the military to safeguard the rule of law following the november 8th elections these turn of events was surprising and shocking the current president of the security council the british ambassador said that discussions will continue in the coming days there's been widespread concern among and across the international community i heard those concerns very clearly among my colleagues

this morning and we welcome the role of regional partners including s.c.n. to resolve this crisis the key to the next steps on myanmar depend on one permanent member of the u.n. security council china in the meeting i'm told to the chinese representative was playing for time and diplomats say china has not yet shown its hand. young lady is the former un special rapporteur on the situation of human rights in myanmar she explains what could be behind the. i can speculate but 3 reasons why they thought they were like to go ahead with this at this point 1st the new parliament was supposed to convene on monday and this election the n l d y by a far larger margin than it had in 2015 and the 2nd reason is men are the commander in chief will speak will be stepping down in june he holds a lot of assets financial assets it was n.m.r.

and possibly in a business is dealing with other countries and his family his children and his associates they may lose access to his fortunes once he steps down that i think may have very nervous and 3rd thing is that this is the best time doing coronavirus a pandemic there's been a lockdown at ready people it would not be easy for people to come out to protest and they can use this pandemic as an excuse for a plot for cracking down even harder than it would normally do that endorsements from 2 big brothers russia and china russia a few months ago there was a lot of fanfare commending met online for his leadership and just down january 12th while he visited. the b.m.r.

and had discussions with men are lying and his colleagues about the so-called irregularities of the elections that the minimum lying and the tatmadaw are. professors that there that there was a fraudulent election in manama. inspectors from the world health organization a visiting a very institution the chinese city of where the corona virus was 1st identified the team is investigating the origins of covert 19 since arriving last month they've conducted interviews with people from research institutes hospitals and a seafood market linked to the initial outbreak let's go to katrina who is live for us in beijing so katrina reports that the team is now visited this lab in will hand what more can you tell us. well it's unclear at this stage how

much access that they didn't given in the lab and if this is going to be the only time they're visiting this lab certainly this location has been the focus of much controversy the trump administration when it was in power allege that 1000 leaked from the slab intentionally or unintentionally and though we haven't seen any evidence around this it is true that this lab has the highest level of biosecurity in china many dangerous pathogens are being studied the including coronaviruses that have been transmitted from animals now the world health organization say they are looking into this theory and we've spoken to a member of the team there and she said this is a viral just marian koopman and she said that they had been working with scientists from the slab in the lead up to this visit and of course it's been more complicated by the fact that this mission is highly politicized china has been blamed for not being transparent enough especially in those early days in the outbreak but the team say that they are being given access certainly the u.s.

secretary of state anthony blinken has commented on the trip saying that china has not been measuring up that it's been falling short on the access that they are being provided to the team now the teams mission itself they've begun their field work since friday in this whole mission so far has been highly staged in the team itself have been undergoing a period of intense health monitoring because of resurgent corvet 19 cases so they are having their movements highly restricted the not able to freely talk to members of the public now china itself has dismissed any criticism saying that they are being very transparent giving the team as much access as they require and members of the team who have spoken to the media have been quite positive about what they've seen so far this is about day 5 in terms of their field work they've seen the lab the votes are being taken to a number of hospitals involved in those earlier cases as well as the seafood and meat market where the 1st quote a virus cluster was identified and the members of that team say that they are

seeing dogs not seen before and they have encouraged the public to be patient saying that they are making progress in their inquiry. katrina you there for us in beijing many thanks more than a 1000 people have reportedly been arrested in protest against a court ruling to send russian opposition leader alexina valmy back to jail i. the kremlin's most prominent critic was sentenced to more than 2 years in prison for violating probation terms while recovering in germany from a near fatal poisoning companies have been out in force in moscow where the largest protests took place the u.s. britain germany and the e.u. according from the vollies media release tony angela has the latest. once again alexina valley is paying a high price for his criticism of the kremlin as a court sentenced him to $3.00 and

a half years the judge found the valley guilty of breaking probation failing to report to russian police over an embezzlement charge the fact he was in hospital in berlin was not accepted the valley was there recovering from nerve agent poisoning he alleges was carried out by the russian state the kremlin critic drew a heart on the glass in court for his wife and asked his supporters to protest. the aim of this hearing is to scare a great number of people it works this way jail want to scare millions. i hope that this hearing will be interpreted by people as a signal that they have to be more scared it's not a demonstration of power the national guards of russia this cage they are a demonstration of weakness you can't jail hundreds of thousands and millions like this from outside the court a major show of force from police rounding up and detaining of only supporters who call not only for his release but for the release of russia from putin's rule no

one you saw in this pretty deal this is total lawlessness you can think whatever you want about alexina valmy as a politician but the problem is that if such high profile people can be arrested in a live television broadcast without a reason it means that people like you and i are known people they can do whatever they want to us get them one of these trial is a sham like many other trials in russia this is a politically motivated case he was poisoned in russia but that crime is not under investigation he returned to russia and they have jailed him straight away everything these going on has nothing to do with justice. after days of nationwide rallies detention centers are overflowing and despite the threat of new sanctions from the west the kremlin has shrugged off criticism from the u.s. in europe and continues to deny that the valley was ever poisoned your 30th in the marsh we've still not heard an answer for on what basis the swedish military conclusion that mr novelli was poisoned by an agent from the group. in the last 10

years he has been jailed more than 10 times many working for his anti corruption network have now been detained and his spokeswoman is under house arrest but his lawyers promise to appeal against his verdict while he asks people in and outside russia to continue putting pressure on putin charlie anja al jazeera the united states has rejected the call by iran to revive the nuclear deal a spokesman said it's too early on that teheran must 1st come back into full compliance iran's foreign minister had proposed that the european union help coordinate a simultaneous return to the agreement by both sides the us left the nuclear deal in 2018 and reimpose sanctions since then iran has increased uranium enrichment levels beyond the limits set out in the agreement. still ahead on al-jazeera donald trump's lawyers say the senate has no authority to try him plus.

stronger more prosperous now we have a fair orderly and you main legal immigration system and with the 1st action today. we're going to work done to do the more a national shame of the previous administration that literally not figuratively ripped children from the honors of their families their mothers and fathers at the border and with no plan none whatsoever to reunify children are still in custody and and their parents the 2nd action addresses the root causes of our migration to our southern border and the further action of the 3rd order i'm going to be signing orders a full review of the previous administration's harmful and counterproductive immigration policies that basically cross border. when the impact of the trump era immigration policies has been devastating for thousands of families reynolds

reports. the 0 tolerance policy is gone but the damage remains from one of the trumpet ministrations most controversial and widely condemned immigration actions the deliberate separation of children from their parents at the border we have. in a way that we will not fully understand an entire generation of children. there is no clear remedy right now at a minimum more than $5500.00 children were separated from their parents beginning in 2017 audioboo recordings of children crying emerged and helped lead to a public outcry and the hasty abandonment of the policy but approximately 600 children still have not been you reunited according to a lawsuit filed by the american civil liberties union i think it really was a matter of just didn't care all they care about is taking

a shorter way no plan in place to track or even. some need to be reunited in most cases parents were deported to their home countries in mexico or central america and the children put into foster care some of the younger kids have forgotten their parents as the years passed by others are deeply traumatized one of the things we're seeing is that so angry resentful at their parents asking their parents can you love me enough to keep. me away the family separation policy was deliberately planned to deter migrants if you are going. there we will prosecute the natural right of a separated from you as required by law a department of homeland security inspector general's report found the border patrol and immigration officials were unprepared for the 0 tolerance policy and

kept on. reliable and incomplete data on children and parents immigration advocates hope president joe biden's task force on family separations succeeds in reuniting the remaining parents and children but they say those families deserve more give them permission. to rejoin their surely you know and then to give them. some type of restitution advocates also want a full investigation and strict policies to ensure that the cruelty at the border never happens again rob reynolds al jazeera los angeles and the man who's expected to play a central role in those attempts to reverse trans policies has been sworn in as secretary of homeland security a lander by york us was confirmed by the u.s. senate he is the 1st latino and the 1st immigrant to hold the position where

earlier people to judge was confirmed as transportation secretary he is the 1st openly gay member of the u.s. cabinet the former presidential contender will be leading white house efforts to increase spending on infrastructure meanwhile the impeachment case against donald trump has been set in motion at the senate democrats who drafted the check the charges have accused him of endangering the lives of all members of the congress by inciting his supporters to storm capitol hill trump's legal team says the senate lacks the authority to try him now that he's no longer president. she had has more from washington d.c. on the charges presented by the democrats. their argument is that what we saw here on capitol hill on january the 6th was the culmination of a campaign by dog to pursue power costs a campaign that began even before the election he was already priming his supporters to not accept potentially the results of the election following the

election he didn't receive the results he wanted he began trying to overturn those results and failed as a result there he summoned his supporters to the capital according to democratic house managers and they use a very memorable phrase that he someone demob to washington exhorted them into a frenzy and aimed them like a looted cannon down pennsylvania avenue and we saw the riot here on capitol hill as a result as far as the the defense argument that it's simply unconstitutional to impeach a former president the democrats say that cannot be true because the constitution says a president has to be held accountable from the 1st day of his presidency to the last day of his presidency there can't be a january exception that is you can't impeach a president in january because in a few weeks they're going to be handing over power anyway because if there was such an exception then surely other leaders would be encouraged to try to hold on to power in january as well because they would be held accountable by congress so that's the that's the argument from the democrat house members. amazon both jeff

regulation issue is something that they're having to contend with and also the fact that amazon as a growth bigger and more powerful isn't quite as well loved as it once was so it's just under a lot of scrutiny both from consumers and regulators and of course there's always competition in the u.s. wal-mart and major retailer is also a major competitor of amazon now the u.s. company space x. has carried out a 2nd test flight of its present time rocket being developed to take humans to mas things were going well until it tried to land under chapelle explains one. you're looking at the future of space travel built by a private company space x. starship is designed to transport people deeper into space than ever before and possibly take 100 people at a time to mars the 1st high altitude test flight of the starship prototype was carried out in december stunning onlookers with a landing put maneuver that until that point had never been done the reusable

spacecraft stabilizes itself in a controlled fall before landing which didn't go so well the 1st time. test vehicles are built to fail so that later versions don't data from test flights are used to make improvements to the production line in texas along the u.s. mexican border the company's founder elon musk says they'll go through around 20 prototypes before it's operational. starship will eventually tower 120 meters in the sky atop what's called a super heavy rocket more powerful than the saturn 5 used for the apollo missions to the moon and that a launch from the sea. space x. recently purchased to decommission oil rigs for 3 and a half $1000000.00 each and is converting them into floating spaceports musk says $1000.00 starships will be needed to build a city on mars and he's committing billions from his personal wealth to finance it do you want a future where we become a space rank civilization and are in many worlds and out there among the stars or

one where we are forever confined to earth and i say it is the 1st and i hope you agree with me. fully reusable transportation systems have significantly reduced costs for each launch for humans and cargo multiple ships then stop building up the city then making the city bigger and bigger even after defying expectations musk's critics doubt his billions will be enough to finance his dreams a vision that will likely cost trillions of dollars to realize and will depend on future technology not yet invented but for now the next starship is fully assembled and nearly ready for launch enter ship out al-jazeera. this is out there these are your top stories have been public displays of anger against the military coup in myanmar people in the largest city yangon.
