washington. we're going to focus on russia this hour with alex on the record for in moscow i just saw before we came on air alexander some lines dropping from the kremlin in response what's being said. well yes indeed the response to what the u.s. president had to say about relations with russia is indeed very negative the spokesperson of russian president vladimir putin made his course said that this was very aggressive and unconstructive retore acts and he said that he made overtones are unacceptable now this goes in line with what similar issues and previous requests to release nobody has been said here in russia russian position is that all these statements all these requests are basically meddling into their domestic affairs into their internal affairs and that they are saying that they're not going to accept that what they're insisting is that the whole case would not violate is

not political but it's a criminal case and it is just the cation of russian laws is what they say now no viney is also a topic of conversation between who is visiting moscow today away the russian minister of foreign affairs sergei lavrov at the very beginning of this talks the e.u. foreign policy chief said that violence case is the low point in the relations between you in russia that he called seriously seriously strained and what about alexina van the himself back in court i believe. oh yes indeed he is back in court to do a 2nd time in you know we could this time it's a magistrate's court it's a defamation case he is accused of defamation of a world war 2 veteran this is what happened somewhere in june to 2020 there was

this video people to vote for the amendments in the constitution which amongst other things allows now russian president while the mute oughtn't to run for 2 more but as eventually terms are not in a valley reposed at this video calling people participating in it corrupt hacks and traitors he did not specifically target the 95 year old veteran but this is what the prosecution choose to focus on and there is a reason for that world war 2 veterans here in russia are very respected people there is sort of a culture around that the honor of them for their sacrifices for the victory in the 2nd world war now in the valley is saying that this is also political that he did not know and that isn't now these men that this was a judgment and not a claim and that that what he things is happening is that this man is being used by

his relatives but also by the state in order to. basically defamed vialli in a certain sense and also to prevent him in participating in elections and continuing investigating corruption in russia and xandra god for with us on the news are from moscow thank you onto other news hong kong which is imposing sweeping new rules for schools children as young as 6 will be taught about the controversial national security or the one imposed by mainland china last year students will also learn about tough penalties for anti government offenses they will be taught how to sing china's national anthem as well and a lot about the police and the people's liberation army. problem in hong kong. hong kong university campus this was one of the main campuses or particularly institutions which had pushed the ideals of democracy many of the students here

were approached him ocracy activist at one point the umbrella movement of 2014 started here and they and suing pro-democracy and protest movements also was very much supported by students from here there not questions about what happens now from the age of 6 now teachers will be forced to warn students about sedition secession collusion with foreign powers students and teachers will be encouraged to report anything that they deem as encouraging national security books will be removed reading material material a notice board seen as an danger in national security and once again that's a very very way they get topic and very which has a very wide remit so it's not exactly clear exactly what could danger that national security but also if you are sinatra and the teachers' union here the spokesperson had said they had expected some kind of reform in hong kong but not this drastic

reform of the education system this basically allows the government to micromanage what happens in the classroom policing what happens during this questions in the classroom during children studies and it's big brings it in line with the communist control classrooms of mainland china always pleased to talk to emilie the chairwoman of the international affairs committee of the democratic party in hong kong former member of the hong kong legislative council as well nice to see you i feel like i always ask this question of you in some way shape or form that you must be shocked but not surprised. i guess you're right but still it is quite devastating because the announcement was made yesterday and as your reporter said how can you teach a 6 year old about subversion secession conclusion with foreign forces what are they trying to do to our children how does the schooling system

work or more i guess i'm getting an idea of there would be many people who would be able to send their children maybe to a private school or an international school with they would avoid all of this sort of talking but guests will still affect a quite a large part of the population. i don't think national schools would xscape and i think they also have a duty to make their students understand. what is happening and to teach them in an objective manner so all the kids in hong kong regardless of their nationality the raise their religion the ethnicity their color everything they are all covered and and i think you should you should hear from the parents of these international schools as well so everybody every kid is covered do you think they could be room for sort of counter-movement private tutors people who are loyal to

hong kong democracy who will make an effort now to teach the other side of the story. i think there will be people whether they are parents where that it teaches or even students and principals because this is really very heavy handed and many people are quite shocked of course there are parents who will expedite their plans to emigrate from home call and so that they can send their kids to save for school elsewhere but i think for the people here as you have seen us protesting in the last few years we're not the type of people who are just to everything like that but of course the risk of barry grades and you can get a knock on the door etc so i am and be arrested by the national security police just to go back to the point you made about people potentially leaving even

anecdotally are you seeing evidence of that as we have this gradual erosion we had the security all 1st of all we had the crackdown on the protests now something like this there were concerns over the financial sector as well and i just wonder about the long term effect on people staying there. well all we don't know the long term effects but the short term effect is that there are many leaving the u.k. government said in the last few months over 7 ballots that have already lent big u.k. and yesterday the canadian government announced more lenient immigration policies to welcome hong kong students and professionals to move to canada and maybe there are plans in the u. s. and the australians have already and now very lenient policies so i guess the biggest may come out later but many i can assure you many barriers what brief

evidence they are saying no way i can let my children go through with this and we thank you for your time today joining us from hong kong we appreciate it thank you . 13 minutes past the hour and here is what's coming up for you a new covert 19 test is being rolled out in indonesia how accurate is it though we'll have a report from jakarta on that also 3 months on tens of thousands of refugees who fled the violence in northern ethiopia have been adapting to their new life in sudan and sort of on journeys leads the los angeles lakers to another when joe will have the best in the n.b.a. a little later on. there have been protests across the country and in neighboring countries as demonstrators push back against monday's military coup this is after one of the deposed leader aung sang suu kyi is close aides was arrested when tain is

a senior and the party figure former political prisoner who spent decades campaigning against military rule also teaches university students youth groups medical workers they're all part of a growing movement of protests against military role and that has extended into neighboring countries this is a main mas embassy in thailand overnight surrounded by demonstrators chanting and banging pots calling for an end to the. but. he remains defiant remember it did win a landslide election in november elected representatives were supposed to start work on monday instead many remain under arrest. prevented from taking their seats in the new parliament democratically elected politicians from the national league for democracy have met anyway a symbolic session surrounded by armed guards at a government guest house i hear from mother nature i'm not sure how much since representatives from the party are all elected civilian representatives we can call

the parliament anywhere parliamentarians are present so we called for a session and signed our oath and we are going to stand as parliament representatives people voted for us to be in office for 5 years and the result cannot be raised. around 70 gathered on thursday and signed their oaths of office hundreds of lawmakers were detained for a period after monday's military coup. this violates the human rights of the whole population this is not a coup this is treason against the government i have to say that this is state treason. symbolic acts of defiance by politicians and the public against a military known to put down by like protests that history in mind people are sticking to red ribbons and 3 finger salutes originally from the hunger games film franchise it was popularized by pro-democracy protests in neighboring thailand all calling to end the dictatorship thanks then at 8

pm the sound heard round and gone for a 3rd night in a row and local culture it said that banging pots and pans can drive evil from a home. there was a lot of people who we are going to be the most people across the country are banging pots to drive out the military coup leaders who are not for the season will keep driving out these evils until power is a return to our government. al-jazeera. so for the latest we're heading across the border down to thailand chiang mai that is where scott hyde lay is reporting for us from hi scott so bring us up to that 1st of all more arrests particularly when saying yes exactly when ted was taken wrested early morning on friday we know that because he actually was able to make a couple calls as he was being detained early morning hours now there's concern

about him he is 79 years old he's not in the best of health he has been at aung sun suu kyi side for decades she's been one of his top advisers straight away through all the way at the top of the end of the and has been there for quite some time so him being detained obviously is a major hit but what's interesting he wasn't taken in that 1st round off on the day that the coup took place on monday he was taken he was taken you know several days later but just after the coup he came out and actually spoke to the people of myanmar and said that they should carry out acts of civil defense. in the in. the case of the coup is rooted in our country and this is the reason why our nation remains paul i feel sad and upset for fellow citizens and for their future all the voters who gave that back into it in the 2020 general election should follow all the sons who tease instructions to carry out civil disobedience scope we saw some pictures a little earlier from the embassy in thailand the banging of pots and pans the sort

of thing i'm wondering about. ex-pats are you speaking to and seeing them in chiang mai closer to the border what they're telling you yes or what the chiang mai here has really been kind of a go through for a lot of different migrants a come over from myanmar temporarily then go back so what's variance thing is they have been growing very concerned about the situation across the border because a lot of them have crossed over into thailand because of what they were facing in previous coups and because of oppression so they're here they're very concerned about what their families are going through and we spoke to a couple of them. praying for peace and serenity in the thai city long known as a hub for me and mars diaspora through decades of conflict and military coups migrants dissidents and ethnic fighters have found their way to chiang mai so in myanmar as elected leadership was ousted in monday's coup it cut deep into the

community here. funk wang was there in 1962 when the military 1st took power away from his civilian government he later became a soldier in a kitchen ethnic army for 10 years he fought the military for autonomy with his experience he thinks violence is not the solution now and political pressure should come from people like him. i am worried about my country men back in myanmar not just my relatives the military may be in power for many years to come. i do not support violent protests in the cities then these people abroad should play a big role they don't have to live in fear from the bemused military. chiangmai has unique history and culture different from the rest of thailand and that's possibly why so many ethnic groups that have crossed the western border have decided to settle here but it's difficult for them to stay connected to their communities in myanmar and. so on long among gone runs a migrant radio network it was formed 25 years ago in chiang mai to keep the many

migrants from me and maher informed the network has been reporting on the coup since the 1st hours of the takeover a lot of the listeners were shocked and worried. i have to keep my listeners updated on the situation they need information to make decisions people awarded the concerned about the future. a show of solidarity in front of the chiang mai myanmar consulate a night time gathering of anti kook protesters thais and migrants making themselves heard this in support of those who put themselves in danger by going out on the streets of myanmar to denounce the coup. and those exhibitions of solidarity we imagine will continue to increase around the world probably mostly in front of myanmar embassies across capitals but one thing to know too but we've been saying kemal is the protests the civil disobedience inside myanmar those cases of

that when you look when you click back through the week after the coup on monday it has steadily increased every day it started with medical workers going on strike and wearing red ribbons escalated to the banging in the hocking so every day we've seen something more and today we've seen that on friday many students coming out and teachers unions also joining this you know they're waving the end of the flag they're coming out and they're showing their dissatisfaction their anger about what took place this past week among those reporting from chiang mai in thailand thank you sculpts. coronavirus coverage starts in indonesia this friday which is rolling out a new breath test for covert 19 passengers the train stations and bus terminals are being screened with results issued in minutes but some health experts doubt the accuracy of such tests jessica washington there's a report in jakarta. this is the early morning rush hour 7 wanted to come out

is busiest stations these passengers are among the 1st to try indonesia's new coping 19 breathalyzers to get nothing. compared to the antigen rapid test in the p.c.r. test this test is a lot cheaper and more simple. the scientists behind the genoese device say it can smell coated 19 on the breath in just 2 minutes without getting a negative result these passengers can't board the train the devices will be used at public sites around the country but scientists warn it shouldn't replace p.c.r. testing because this is not in this geno's a screening tool if someone has a positive result should be confirmed with the p.c.r. if they just negative there's no need to. the test costs around $1.00 u.s. dollar much cheaper than a p.c.r. test which can cost up to $100.00 at some hospitals but some epidemiologists say

this is yet another misguided step by indonesian authorities some health experts are critical of this new method of testing they say in tunisia as health care is in crisis and the country is stuck in a relentless 1st wave of code 19 cases they recommend the government focuses on increasing the case we are testing rather than rolling out cheaper and less accurate options we have to. be seen out there still or if not just. prove the car but you can for it get this in. indonesia conducts around $40000.00 p.c.l. tests each day and has a test positivity rate of almost 30 percent last week the country supposed a 1000000 confirmed cases but experts fear the real number is much higher more than a year into the pandemic some health workers feel the government has let them down

on 2 fronts by failing to invest in more testing and by not having strict code 900 restrictions in place for what i thought i don't really know why the testing is still lacking in indonesia it's so important and we're still seeing people travelling and gathering at the stations if it continues this way covered 1000 will stay here even next year. 10 of dr these patients have died and she fears the situation will worsen as overwhelmed hospitals are forced to reject patients the health ministry did not respond to al-jazeera as request for an interview just a washington al-jazeera jakarta. restaurant owners in mexico city have protested against increased restrictions as cases their surge. days and restaurants now been told to close their outdoor dining areas eating indoors was already banned 30 put them out of business and that their stuff can't

to help protect the rights of defendants that includes journalists lawyers and activists they say this growing hostility towards human rights by governments in particular with more people being attacked for calling out abuses it says donations will fund support for rights defenders under attack such as agent relocations and medical cover and legal aid to fight prosecutions amnesty says even if has been targeted for example the indian government for its bank accounts in september and it's been the victim of a smear campaign in nigeria so we're going to talk to about this in london he is the senior director for research advocacy and policy at amnesty international so i know this isn't just about you but you are part of that amnesty is part of this your essential having to to fundraise for yourself because you feel you've come under such attack. thank you and good morning kemal and thank you for having me here indeed this is the 1st time ever amnesty is launching an global emergency fund

raising appeal to counter the brazen and growing anti human rights agenda worldwide in recent years as you rightly pointed out amnesty itself 1st phase of wave of state sponsored attacks on its offices around the world illustrating actually increasing audacity of the governments who are hostile to our human rights agenda but it's not only about us alone this is happening to human rights defenders worldwide from india to turkey to china to nigeria leaders now are unapologetically stealing from the human rights violators playbook to silence those speaking truth to power and calling out human rights while ations and why why has it become quite so bad do you think this escalation in governments as you say going against human rights workers. there is a mix of factors that are in play over the years there is a rise in terms of the so-called strong man leadership around number of countries

in the world which has used demagoguery as a mean on tactics of their politics will speak we also have had a rise in number of legislations that are being implemented around the world approximately 44 legislations around the world that are being today implemented to silence and muzzle the voices of those protesting and dissenting from governmental policies we also have had instances in terms of use of violence threats and smear campaigns as you pointed out in relation to the work on human rights standing for human rights has never been easy what has become increasingly challenging is unprecedented nature of these attacks and the scale at which we are facing rylan threats and intimidation today you know and do your colleagues other groups similar to and it seems national share this sort of deal with a finding there under attack just as much indeed as i said it is not only about

amnesty globally we are facing the spree of attacks that have been highlighted in your coverage as well but also at the national and regional level we are looking at from those working on an environmental issues those working on land rights those protesting in terms of unjust politics. legislations are constantly being brought under threats and intimidation around the world and therefore if you look at the status tricks that have been provided by by groups monitoring these issues you are looking at over 300 people who are rights defenders journalists activists lawyers who have been killed around the world for standing up for human rights rather is from amnesty international in london thank you for your time today thank you. delegates in libya's transition talks are voting to select a new interim government final day of the un led the libyan political dialogue

a different camp before things were tough there to the extent that i thought of returning back to ethiopia but i was told by those arriving that it was still not safe to return and that the fighting is ongoing so i agreed to be transferred here the camp which opened in early january now hosts more than $13000.00 if european refugees they fled their homes because of fighting between the government and the regional to great people's liberation front it started in early november and has left the region with little to no way to communicate aid agencies humanitarian access to many parts of to grey have also been restricted to need but camp is the 2nd open to host the refugees who've been relocated from other camps that were closer to the sudan be a border. refugees continued to arrive there with lesser numbers the start of the conflict the reception centers were serviced caps and assault and battery for not meant to be camps because for the safety of the refugees a camp has to be at least 50 kilometers away from the international border so we're

working to bring those still they're here to be able to give them protection and services more than 60000 have arrived in sudan since the start of the conflict this government says this is a law enforcement operation its soldiers captured the to green capital in december most of the refugees here have been in camps for nearly 3 months now arriving just days after the start of the ethiopian government offensive into grey all those arrived more recently but the rise in the number of refugees coming to sudan despite some reporting that if the soldiers have made it difficult to cross the border is an indication that the conflict into gray is not over and with the continuing flow of refugees aid organizations say their appeal for funding to respond to the situation is only have met. concrete and presently a few which are required around $147000000.00 us dollars to. be able to assist. 100000 refugees

this doesn't mean that we have already 100000 refugees there nor that they will arrive all of them but we need to be fair them planning for that scenario more refugees are expected here in the coming days and weeks while many say they prefer to mate but camp to the reception centers they were at earlier they say what they really want is the ability to return home morgan al-jazeera tonight but camped out of state. back to corona virus news now and from february 15th people traveling to the u.k. from so-called red list countries will have to quarantine in a hotel for 10 days the government is asking hotels near c. and airports to join in the scheme but plenty of concerns about capacity will speak tonight in barber about this is that heathrow airport just outside of london now deemed that aside from the fact that arguably this is a scheme that should have come into play a long time ago tell us about how they're going to make this happen in just 10 days . will it is

a very short time frame if you consider the logistics come out the government says it's in talks right now with hotel chains near airports like where i am heathrow as well as london city that we care port manchester glasgow some of the busiest airports in the u.k. they're trying to book a block book up to 28000 rooms so that on. on february the 15th they'll be ready to receive u.k. residents returning from countries on a so-called red list there are 33 countries and they largely cover south america southern africa as well as the united arab emirates and portugal currently known u.k. residents and citizens can actually come into the country from those countries but the u.k. residents returning will have to pay for themselves to stay for $10.00 days in

hotels they'll be security to chaperone them if they want to go outside for fresh air and so on it will cost them we understand around $110.00 per night now this came after comments on thursday by the head of the biggest chain of airport hotels here in the u.k. saying that he'd been left in the dark last week prime minister boris johnson said there would be such or a mandatory quarantine scheme. and pressure has been building the labor opposition parties accuse the government of risking lives with its delays in announcing and implementing this scheme they've said that it's 50 days since the new variant of coverage 19 emerged in south africa why is that relevant not because the government says that they're acting in the face of new variants and saying it's important that they take the necessary steps to protect people and save lives or have they really done it as quickly as they could do given that it's

a week since we knew there was going to be a plan and right now hotels are still not clear as to whether or not they'll be involved how exactly it will work it's going to cost a lot of money for the government but of course it's also being questioned in terms of efficacy some people are saying that all arrivals into the u.k. should now go into quarantine the government says that that is not feasible it's not practical and they're concentrating on that red list so we've got 10 days for them to get it up and running 10 days for them to try to convince the public that this is going to work. reporting from heathrow airport today thank you noting a palestinian man has been shot dead near an illegal settlement in the occupied west bank israeli army says the man trying to break into a home close to. there are around 250 illegal settlements on the hill tops off the west bank and the number of violent deaths in palestinian israeli communities has

been rising steadily for years despite government promises to tackle the problem activists blame a mixture of well armed and organized criminal gangs and a lack of action from police force that has more from northern israel. as most of israel focuses on the covert crisis for palestinian israelis a different issue dominates daily life gun violence this footage was captured in january in the northern town of all farm in the moments after its latest killing 21 year old mohammed was shot dead on his doorstep he just returned from a protest against violent crime he was the 4th member of his extended family to be killed in just 18 months the family say they don't know why they've been targeted mohammed's cousin and anti crime activist says it's up to the police to provide the answers. let him know there is c.c.t.v. there is d.n.a. i don't need to teach them their job even if they can find all the evidence 50
