beyond groups now control the villages that we can see on the other side of the river people who live on this side they can hear gunfire when they're fighting from around the world months after that i will cain eruption they say their heart is right now back to normal. this is al-jazeera. 1300 hours g.m.t. here on al-jazeera hello i'm kemal santa maria this is the news hour police in the main mara filed charges against. him asked for her to be detained for the next 2 weeks also our opposition parties in ethiopia region say more than 50000 civilians have been killed in 3 months of conflicts the former european central bank chief

mario draghi accepts a request from israeli's president to form a new government in extreme winter weather batters displaced syrians who are already struggling to stay warm. and support the organizers of the tokyo lympics have published a playbook on how to deliver a covert safe event and manchester united equal the club called premier league victory with a $90.00 crashing out southampton. starting in may where police have filed charges against. the ousted president with mint 2 days after they were removed from power in a military coup and police are asking for her to be remanded into custody for 2 weeks while the party says its offices were raided and documents stolen during the takeover and all of this how. it is

a civil disobedience movement growers' of the removal of a democratically elected government as reporters from county. military vehicles patrolling the streets of me on mar our reminder the coup may be over but hits against alstad later on sunset she and her government continue police have filed charges against her for allegedly importing radios illegally an accusation they will have are detained until february 15th some members of her party the national league for democracy now gather in a temporary office and young gone after their headquarters they say were raided now they are telling the people who support the army are celebrating but if we go out onto the streets there would be a clash it would be chaos we fear the military would then use that to extend the coup and legitimize it saying we incited violence we have to avoid that political truck. the announcement follows public displays of outrage against the coup with

people banging pots and pans over night and young gone. calls for civil disobedience are gaining momentum and they are are there and i really want to we join the protests banging pots until they were bent out of shape it was the only thing we were able to do at the moment we want the international community to be aware of the situation because in terms of power we can't fight back against the military. doctors and nurses in at least 30 towns have gone on strike to oppose the coup an act of defiance with potentially dangerous consequences in a country with one of southeast asia's highest coronavirus the top's. but there are still reluctance to protest openly some analysts say what happens over the next week how people react could define the country's political future for years to come right now you know if. they're having something big you know if i guess is that we go from. either this happens in the next or 5

days our it will just media. for years myanmar was ruled by the military dissidents were silence and opponents arrested here protests carry high risks on wednesday morning the government run newspaper published a warning urging people to not oppose the coup me on mars elected leader and head of the national league for democracy on science which he won a landslide victory in elections in november following a large loss of parties favored by the military they declared the election fraudulent now the head of the army is running the country. amid mounting international criticism people are now wondering whether their country's brief experience of democracy has perhaps come to an end. this with a young al-jazeera. so let's talk more about this with thomas mcmanus joining us

from london director of the international state crime initiative at queen mary university of london thomas thanks for your time 1st of all just acutely what's happened today with unsung suchi being detained on actually. a violation of an import export laws something like that it seems like a very minor infringement but i guess this is a law being used against terrible what she could have repealed when they were in power. yeah that's right this is a law that has been used in the past to target activists and as you say it's a it's a very serious charge that charges that you have a walkie talkie so if you charge for importing communications equipment or possessing illegal communications equipment and it is it is a charge that is not based on the rule of law and we didn't have you know a very good rule of law before monday and we certainly don't have any now so these are these are literally trumped up charges on behalf of the military as

a way of as a way of justifying tension but there's no justification ok so detention for 2 weeks at this stage though i don't think would be surprised if that got extended at some point i mean this is just part of my phrasing deja vu all over again for unsung sochi. you know it really is they say 2 weeks but we know from the military's behavior in the past but that will be extended whatever new excuse or justification to come up with we don't know yet and they've also talked about having elections in a year's time but something else that we cannot rely on their timescales and that's something that. again i would expect to be extended if we get there this does. really really remote missed some echoes of 988 later on where we have people no inside burma who are shocked.

really for full of what's going to happen next so we're going to go i'd say what's different there from 988 when with speaking specifically about einstein suchi is that views of her have changed mostly because of the range of situation in may in which she really refused to condemn i notice international governments are condemning the coup. do you think they will come to her defense personally. yes so you make a good point her reputation has been tarnished internationally because of her lisicki with the top model the maya moore military in the persecution of the right in just a sufficiently the genocide there and also with other ethnic groups and she has used your political capital she built up over the years to protect the military so her protection internationally has been tarnished her reputation inside burma is

not artist at all the burmese people still rivera her and when it comes down to a choice between her and the military they're going to choose. and so this pressure that the international community is putting on it is about democracy it's about whoever was arrested. whoever was in charge being arrested in a coup the international community is pressure on. to resist this attack on democracy and sends it to the percent of occasion that this is what is the attack on democracy there were really are so i start to wonder what she's really gotten out of the last few years than if she as you said used to position to protect the military the very minute train which is not turned on. yeah she was playing a really dangerous game and we're not sure what her motivations were for providing cover for the military which she has become closer and closer and it seems now she

has lived her usefulness for the military or somehow been seen by. the head of the military to become a threat somehow whether that was to do with his enforced retirement whether she was going to work impose a president that he wasn't happy with it seems an unusual thing for him to do it's basically a self true they already have 25 percent of the parliament they already have the main. ministries so he had a lot of power already and it seems like an unusual thing to do and it seems it can only be a sign of desperation and and a loss of trust and sense that she is going to protect women future thomas mcmanus really interesting to talk to you today about this thanks for making the time thank you. we move to other news and a group of opposition parties in ethiopia has taken a region since more than 50000 civilians have been killed in the conflict fing

regional separatists and the ethiopian army it's not exactly clear without estimates come from and that's not to get in the past the government said federal forces haven't killed any civilians. all told no access to this region has been severely limited since the fighting broke out in november making the information hard to come by but witness reports there have said people were caught in the crossfire and some have been starving. well the theo peace government responded to the opposition's allegations through a twitter account that it since does fact checking for the regions what it said are reports of assessment of civilian casualties that is being circulated in various international media outlets are unsubstantiated and suffer from unfortunate political motives goes on to say the fact that we have not found ourselves with significant civilian casualties is testament to the planning and professionalism of the ethiopian national defense force welcome web's covering the story for us from nairobi with the queues the ethiopian government forces of blindly bombarding

towns and villages destroying them killing civilians in the process they've accused the government of using food and hunger as a weapon against the civilian population they say that the government forces have killed millions of heads of livestock they've burned crops this is caused hunger crisis is the 6000000 people more than 6000000 are in need of humanitarian aid as a result of the government we contacted the prime minister spoke the person who directed us to the government social media accounts and one of them said the numbers of civilian these high numbers of civilian deaths being reported in international media were on substantiated and politically motivated and they said also that twitter account that the government regrets any civilian deaths and they hadn't actually found a significant number now all of these claims and counterclaims are very difficult to verify because the still massive restrictions on access for journalists for

humanitarian workers throughout the tigre a region we got some analysis on this from william davison earlier he's a senior ethiopia and last of the international crisis group and said aid agencies still don't have access to large parts of the great. we have a situation where there is ongoing conflict and insecurity again we can't be sure about how widespread or how intense that is the federal government of course after the conflict is over therefore says the reason the areas of a to gray really that are held by the to grant forces and it says it's handling a distribution itself but this means that there is a continued lack of access to international aid agencies and we have to be very alarming pick a player or 2 thirds of the great entire population may need a possibly a 3rd is displayed and these are figures coming from officials appointed by the federal government to run to great in the interim but we do not have the access to

the international agencies they seem to be necessary to respond to a national parent crisis of this scale i think when the pedal government comes out and claim to have won the conflict and that the enemy has been defeated when it took hold of the regional government apparatus in the regional capital in the 28 november a lot of international media coverage does drop at that point but there is still some form of ongoing conflict large areas of too great still seem to be inaccessible and because of the ongoing conflict in addition to the atrocities that are being reported we also have this very critical humanitarian situation that really is important that maximum attention is given to this issue and then everyone does whatever they can to alleviate the suffering of the people in the great. we are 30 minutes past the hour and here's what's coming up the games have to be safe for each state called a group for each participant the olympics just 6 months away 12 months late we will

hear the plans to make sure they're safe. haven infections are soaring in lebanon and a severe shortage of key medical supplies is putting people at even greater risks. and in sports how this rising n.b.a. star is setting a new record the details with santa a little later. well the 1st vaccine allocations which are part of an alliance to get them to lower income countries are being announced health officials hoping to supply 2300000000 covert 19 shots this year you might have heard of this initiative it's called kovacs the kovacs alliance which is aimed at providing fair global access to vaccines in fact they are speaking now in a virtual link from. from geneva will have a little listen it says to up to $1100000000.00 doses of vaccines for around

$100.00 countries for approximately $3.00 a dose for the low end lower middle income countries this is a great value for x. donors and a strong demonstration of one of the fundamental principles of co-ax that by pooling our resources we can negotiate in bulk for the best possible deal sharing pricing information is also a reflection of unicef's commitment to transparency which we have been demonstrating for the past 10 years by publishing all negotiate prices for a range of commodities as these so this is interesting we're getting some detail there on the number of fact things in the price importantly talking about $3.00 a dose which is good news we're going to talk to us at the neighbor him in regards about this now as an advocate on vaccinating africa also director of med biotech which is a medical biotechnology at liberty thank you for your time sir and if you caught

just a bit of that but that's really good news we're talking you know a long term rollout of billions of doses of a vaccine and doing it at a cheaper price. that should come i think it's great news actually because the last weeks were living actually through nightmare c. in light of all of the doors as go into rich countries and lower income countries get in nothing so now i think that you richard unicef's through because in a city of is bigger than i think we have to talk about the girlie the start of this initiative many years ago through the gates foundation and now i think through a lot of struggling maybe sooner this countries will get to the doors but i'm still here waiting for them grim an asian it's easy to say that we can guarantee and the to have the girls as but i think until we see it in africa we will have to wait right so this is about supply and making sure the supply is available at good

prices but implementation will still come down to individual countries and i guess that's where things could potentially break down. well i think in africa we don't have this problem where are the employment ation of the mass vaccination i think we don't have access in a competitive word to get 2 of the vaccines i think brokaw actually to have millions of those are but there think it's not the solution i think for africa through the think there this that initiative were more than 192 countries putting the money into that than the part and getting their pleas for 90 countries from the law and lower income to get the vaccination at least to protect the population at risk i think which is a really nice in that got you it sure and unicef initiative and the advocates of the cox initiative i just see in the forward who are should be able actually what this year to vaccinate at least 20 percent of the population and boxing of the

people at risk if we do it the more targeted will go down and we can go to the feast too we can go to the other range of age to vaccinate the maximum pollution are proof of what can happen when we do properly work together isn't it i wanted to ask you as well about people actually taking up the vaccines i asked an earlier guest about this and i'm still interested about people who are reluctant to take a vaccine who's got concerns or maybe think this has been developed too fast we don't know about long term side effects because it's great to have the supply but people have got to want to take it for it to be effective. what balance a personal level actually unvaccinated they actually 4 were there 5 there is no i'm talking to you on surviving it without any problems it's a lawyer thing else select thank you would the word actually used to be indicate in case any of the kids you have to the kids are people that vaccination is the

solution and not stay in the other operational not so good i think we have to keep them actually that this is the situation where a mask that something very important actually with it is that a lot of fork with a lot of drugs coming out soon in april for all the people infected but they think or what we are trying to do right now just to educate people tell them that we did or we have all grown t's for the clinical trials with perfectly we now have more than 50000000 people that were vaccinated and all of that that there from the pharmacovigilance are very good and then can talk about iraq actually we get 2 or more then the 300000 people and the really the the really the the effects the are not there and i think that it's very positive to insist that everybody should be vaccinated because we are in the same wards and we want to come out on together nice to have some good news about this isn't about what they may

bring me joining us from robert thank you for your time sir thank you very much thank you meanwhile organizers for the delayed tokyo lympics have laid out a plan to ensure the games which is scheduled for july can go ahead in a covert safe way the international olympic and paralympic committees and their japanese host have been developing coronavirus countermeasures on tuesday japan's prime minister also extended a state of emergency for 10 regions to try to stop the spread of covert planting. because parliament colleagues at the i.p.c.c. and tokyo turns 20 in consultation with tax experts have been working night and day 247 to develop a robust plan and aims to protect every game stakeholder and importantly the japanese people over the last 12 months every single aspect of the games has been meticulously evaluated in terms of covert 19 consequently we believe we can stage

the games safely and give the world something to look forward to this summer so they've released what they call a playbook of safety measures which olympic organizers a laying out for athletes have a look at some of the details here this is interesting i think it's probably more for the crowds actually singing and chanting won't be allowed in order to protect athletes but clapping is permitted participants must submit their itinerary to japanese authorities they must present a negative covert $1000.00 tests they must download the government's tracing app as will athletes won't be able to use public transport without permission and repeated failure to comply with the playbook rules may see athletes expelled from the games i spoke to dr but punky upon khania earlier who is a specialist in emergency preparedness and planning senior clinical lecture at the university of exeter medical school he actually thinks holding the games in july is really a high risk event. there are witnesses along the and tired chain of

setting up the games i know we will hear positive noises from the international olympic committee i know i love the international olympics i really do but having said that i think it is a high risk event because on the one hand we put in the regulations but when you have got hundreds of thousands of people who come into your country from all over the world it is very very difficult to control monitor and do the surveillance and keep everything under control it will be an mazing if they can pull it off so i look at it as if it was a conveyor belt of witnesses and at every point public transport the testing the compliance the crowding the coming into the stadium leaving the stadium except at every critical point there are weaknesses and on a large scale event like this in the middle of a pandemic it's very difficult to control in terms of global how about wealth and

safety i think this is a high risk event and it would be more pragmatic to say let us see what global health is doing now that the vaccines have started to roll and take take a feed about how well the x. in the performing and then consider the games a year after but that's my opinion. let's keep moving around the world latin america where leaders are struggling to control a surge in corona virus cases which continue to overwhelm medical services in mexico ambulances are being forced to wait for hours to find open beds if one can be found at all and oxygen supplies are limited the russian sputnik back scene has been approved for use in mexico a similar story in peru where people are sleeping outside medical facilities to make sure they can get access to oxygen the demand has put many families in debt with some forced to spend more than 2 years of

a salary to help their loved ones. well he was lauded for pulling the euro back from the brink now the former head of the european bank has been asked to lead italy out of its political crisis as the new prime minister in the last few hours mario draghi he's agreed to form a new normal political governments to steer the country through the coronavirus pandemic israelis been struggling to form a government prime minister cantor resigned last week his coalition broke up because it couldn't agree on a coronavirus spending. bill it's so the emergency in light of this crisis the situation needs to be met with equal action with this hope indeed occasion except the call of the president to beat the pandemic to vaccinate our population to offer solutions to everyday problems of italians and to relaunch the country of the challenges we face. stephanie decker following this one from. this to say that mario draghi will be in charge of a technocrat government effectively. while

he's accepted with reservations what does that mean it means that he's now on his way to the lower house of parliament to also be heading to the senate and what he's basically said is that he will accept the position of prime minister only if he can get a majority in government so he's taking this though he's playing it wisely that he's going to talk to all sides to the parties and make sure that once he accepts the nomination officially that he has the support to be able to manage and move forward with applying the policies of his country so it's still step one cup all of but certainly yes as you heard from him there he has initially accepted the nomination and if he gets the support that he needs that he will yes be the new prime minister of italy ok thank you for that update stephanie in rome before we hit the break on the news are a check on the weather with evidence. hello there we've got some rather unsettled weather in the forecast for northern parts of the middle east over the next couple

a lot of promise the very important facts on is the have been getting out a very effective campaign to curtail the spread of disease as well as keeping livelihoods alive for things having problems but obviously that seems with are going to be a very very critical part in the providing that safety as you go forward also to live a significant lead problems a pox on in every sense of it and you know the facts on the backs nations driver's been started at the same time they said that it may be able to get a good protection edge right now understood typically asian forded efficacy and the pakistani foreign minister has said that china had offered to help august on produced a vaccine locally it is indeed an uphill backers buggers don had also contracted to get the oxford escrowed zeneca vaccine. but for a. 1000000. by the end of march the next few months will be critical

and a battle against corona and it will be important he can't really be able to get back in. well the world health organization is listing lebanon in the highest risk stages of the corona virus pandemic a 3rd of all cases identified in the past year have been detected in just the last month and a spot the locked on the sword a number of cases has left the country with a shortage of medical supplies the full story now with. the calls are endless every single day of the week at whatever time day or night melissa runs a non-governmental organization that has redirected its resources to providing oxygen supply to coronavirus patients at home there is what doctors call an uncontrolled pandemic in lebanon. i had a gentleman call me at 1130 at night on saturday crying on the phone because of his

father and i had to explain to him i physically do not have a machine right now please wait until we get a machine and he's like my father can't wait there is a shortage of machines to provide patients with oxygen leading to more appeals on social media for help we have a lot of patients. less and less patients. because they see. the red cross has been at the front line of this battle. volunteers have transported more than 5000 patients to hospitals in the past few weeks 4 times more than last year and there are many more on a waiting list. so the 1st. big number of them are the good person so. we're going to focus on some hospitals are using shipping containers to treat patients in the parking lot while others have suspended non emergency treatment

health experts say registered one of the world's worst surges in salary for the size of its population which is close to $7000000.00 including one and a half 1000000 refugees more than 100000 cases were detected in the past month that's one 3rd of all cases identified in the past year. many countries have dealt with beds shortages and the need to prioritize care but lebanon's health sector was already weak from years of neglect and a collapsing economy a high number of cases for sure let. all that he fought so that we have luckily with the not that it's the time would we put in more of a ventilator. but i'm not that patient more than. if we continue like i think for me ever that it's a phase a 3 week 24 hour curfew has brought numbers down but it's not enough and the daily worry of not being able to find

a place in hospital or get access to oxygen supplies hasn't gone away jennifer their beirut. mr president joe biden's face delays and deadlock in his push to get children back to school in his 1st 100 days in chicago for example some 62000 students and 10000 teachers were expected to return to the classroom on monday but that's been stalled after he to negotiations over safety measures as many teachers wait for their vaccines his supporters and john hendren. as you can go demands teachers go back to school teachers like tammy vinson fear their classrooms could become super spreading incubators for covert 19 a lot of kids could be asymptomatic so it could i could have it and i could go to school and inadvertently pass it on to a student they enter and go home and pass on to their grandmother or their medically fragile uncle or their parents so yeah absolutely a concern one person who wants teachers back in class is president joe biden the

president wants to not only reopen schools he wants the schools to stay open another issue kabul mayor lori lightfoot who has threatened a virtual lock out that would barred teachers from access to the online instruction they've been using she says the kids deserve better particularly our black and brown kids are falling behind in las vegas the superintendent of clark county schools says 19 students have committed suicide since virtual schooling began in march in which. kids reaching a. deal in school in washington state high school junior lily media says the end of in person classes is driven up her anxiety and always have some land is equally next to me how i'm just with my cat in my room one issue in chicago and elsewhere is that teachers for the most part want to receive their vaccinations before they come back but for many it could be weeks or even months

before they receive their doses. i am so ready even after they do no one knows what normal will look like i don't know if. the desire to get back to what was what was pre-planned to make israel reasonable because i don't think it's going to happen. a once in a century shock to the education system she says might leave lingering consequences john hendren al-jazeera chicago joe biden's also signed a series of executive orders aimed at reversing donald trump's hardline immigration policies they include the creation of a task force to reunite hundreds of children separated from their families under trump's 0 tolerance policy they'll also be a review of the asylum process at the border with mexico. now the united states has rejected a proposal from iran to have both nations come back to the 2050 nuclear deal iranian foreign minister job as a reef had suggested the european union could facilitate

a simultaneous return to the agreement by both sides the details now with us. it appears a game of who acts 1st and right now neither the u.s. or iran are making a move the us has rejected an offer by iran for it to synchronize a return to the 2015 nuclear deal with the european union with iran for filling its commitments that could have allowed to both parties to save face internationally and at home but the u.s. says it's not ready to rejoin of course though we are a long way from that iran has distanced itself from compliance on a number of fronts and there are many steps in that process i mentioned a couple of them consulting with our allies consulting with our partners consulting with congress before we're reaching the point where we're going to engage directly with the iranians and willing to entertain any sort of proposal the iran deal was one of the worst and iran began to reduce its commitments to the deal after former

u.s. president donald trump pulled out and imposed sanctions on the country the u.s. sees iran's moves as a way of breaching the deal known as the joint comprehensive plan of action a view not shared by iran president has done rouhani says his country is waiting on the u.s. to right the wrongs of the trump era already car yobbo yet the americans must return to the resolution to international law and a resolution that was passed unanimously by the u.n. security council if we see good will gesture we will show it to you if we see actions will show it as well if we see commitment our response will be full commitment. in recent days iran has increased the number of advanced centrifuges at its main nuclear plant it allows the country to enrich uranium quicker and to a higher degree something that concerns western powers the e.u. is stuck in the middle urging both to talk but with little power to make that happen. for now nothing has changed president joe biden's administration has not

lifted sanctions imposed under trump and the still considerable mistrust between the 2 countries aside bake al-jazeera. the boss of amazon jeff bezos says he's stepping down as c.e.o. later this year he will stay on at the company he founded way back in 1905 he will now be the executive chairman and says he plans to focus on new projects often samus or. many people might not remember but when it was founded in 1995 amazon dot com was originally an online bookstore in a quarter of a century founder jeff bezos made it the world's biggest retailer putting countless high street brick and mortar stores out of business amazon made shopping faster cheaper and easier the company's success made basis the richest man in the world and the 1st person in history to accrue a net worth of $200000000000.00 in any environment there is always an opportunity
