into the stall and then it is. my. duty station. and this is. the whole this problem is. we. need. updating your top stories here on al-jazeera which just a few hours away now from hearing more of the evidence against the former us president double trump as his impeachment trial enters day 3 so far we've seen impeachment managers deliver never before seen footage of the capitol hill attack on january the 6th democrats have labeled mr trump insights in chief

and so they came draped in trump's flag and used our flag the american flag to batter and to bludgeon and at $230.00. i heard that terrifying banging on house chamber doors for the 1st time in more than 200 years the seat of our government was ransacked on our watch. morning from heidi joe castro what we expect from the proceedings on thursday. have up to 8 hours to conclude their case against president trump former president trump and the indications are that when peter managers plan to use most of that a lot of time yesterday we saw that summary of the cringe worthy video that the senators were made to watch particularly those republicans who are planning to

acquit trump as these impeach managers took them right back to january 6th to relive those moments of fear in of panic and the response to that from democrats in the chamber has been as expected calling it a strong case meanwhile as gentle leader has warned government workers to go back to work or face sanctions after 6 days of mass demonstrations mean lane also asked people to avoid gatherings because of khirbet 19 but protesters are demanding the release of their elected leaders including young son suchi and they want the joint to step down the families of $35.00 workman thought to be trapped in a tunnel in the indian state of what sort of can say they are losing hope the tunnel and much of the surrounding valley was flooded and part of a collapsed into a river on sunday adrian has another news for you from the 15 g. between now and then it's the stream i will see you very soon for the moment but. it's 10 years since the libyan revolution led to the overthrow of longtime brunei

mamak a day after. the country was torn by conflict and rival claims of power. but it's hoped talks will finally bring peace and stability join us as we assess libya's approach to elections on al-jazeera. i have an e ok today i'm listing mutha because aids on russia the best known opposition opposition voice to president putin outside of russia is and like seen a valid need now he's a recent arrest and charged charging and sentencing inside of russia but people outside onto the streets and overseas a lot of criticism today we are focused on the impact of nirvana's case domestically and internationally i know you have opinions we'd love to hear from you as you need to weigh in you know what to do if you're on you tube right now

here's a comment section i look forward to seeing your comments. russia is currently through an unprecedented wave of political aggressions i've seen one who was poisoned nearly to death back on the sentences are doing their best to russia and he was in here to rest and. after a lot of his profile supporters including 2 members of police are looking and lucid they were arrested dozens of people are spending on twenty's thirty's they say. the dissenters because they participated in protest actions in supported by facts in a bind he put in is currently in panic because he's fearing to lose his power and his is a highly really really strong political opponent and there he is he can do to sell it's him that he's won taken how novelli situation is

being handled in russia you're about to hear at 3 more how i guess really nice to see you paul roman and also a nexus poor welcome to the string tell everybody who you are what you do yeah hi my name is up florence and i'm a professor at the university of ottawa. you offer of numerous books on russian so it history and contemporary russian a 1st. good to have a reverend welcome back to the stream nice to see you again remind our audience who you are what you did. my name isn't on the 100 list is the insider which is russian investigative media outlet so we're doing these and are in different topics but our latest in the cities and wars or who is in and alex in the money who was who isn't . it it's not so chemical agent agent very dangerous and we found concrete to do autism as the officers so offices

of russia's security service who did this assassination. thank you love to hear more about that in just a moment alexis good to have you back on the street remind our audience who you are and what you do i'm a lexus learner glad to be here and i am a scholar of authoritarianism and protest specifically in russia i'm working at the university of western ontario nice to have you and when there is that room a moment because you are in moscow you're in russia right now when and next easing in the valley went back to russia he was arrested he was challenged he was sentenced what did you make of that snobbery. well i think it was very predictable it's he would be arrested and so many people many of his friends colleagues ask him not to or it's on back to russia right after

this sinister because it was very clear that it wasn't within is coming after him that he believes that now is very dangerous but still no one is and that's not the position i actually believe that this is very important storm the inside the country she didn't want to become an example of the sense that as many other exultantly since well not prominence that prominent as it is in a lonely so or yeah it is not and it is dangerous not only because he's now in prison but also because it is still possible for the kremlin will repeated it a sin is an attempt for i think this is not there are likely but still this was an exit the reason that not only were his charge when he went back to russia was because he failed to turn up for his parole meetings but is he famously said during the trial i was in a coma so what do you make of that the whole sentencing situation was was that that

it is that it. is it valid this is something that has been satirized widely on the internet. from antics to action for contact in all of these different social media platforms because people specifically believe it not to be valid the state can do a number of different things and one of them is to to put never only in jail i guess this is an alternative to making some kind of deal or it's killing him altogether but this is the choice that they've made. and it will have certain ramifications yet pull in a very such a fascinating figure because inside russia there's one taken him outside of russia there's another take on him he shared his headline with you for instance from politico russia mass arrests in russia of protesters demanding navarro nice release people people did go in the streets in russia they did protest there was protesting also criticism also outside of the country was that. well i

think that in the west it was a fairly clear conclusions being drawn that russian state was responsible for his poisoning so that has caused a century of indignation. among western leaders. they haven't they must be done very much about it so far beyond the talks so thick you know russia russia the international image has suffered at least certainly in those parts of world which are already inclined to look negatively upon it i would doubt it's the same impact in parts of the world which did not have such bad relations with russia so countries like china india brazil places like that probably are but the impact is not insane. and we spoke to some people who were protesting when a volley was charged when he was arrested and our shop is one of them and he talks about the protests being within about an avanti have a listen to him and rick says i'd love you to come off the back of his thoughts. it

was scary to take part in these protests. that the truth out there was was down there was a police force the peaceful purposes their thumbs up or if your eyes the terrible conditions in the national center for even torturing but it was very important because it was not just no i mean but. this. in our us here it's almost you know how the. laws and moving. feeling that we had to many and that you can't change the version shirt there's a long history of this sort of protest happening in the contemporary russia this is nothing new these pro-democracy anti-corruption kind of crowds coming together to express their just intent a few things are different this time i don't necessarily think that the that there

is so much more violence happening both perhaps on different days of the protests there's more violence and other days but there are different folks coming out to the protest so we have people coming out for the 1st time we have people who are like younger coming out and the famous sort of yeah it's video that if you've seen it on line people are coming out despite negative 45 decree temperatures so there is a lot happening that hasn't necessarily happened in 201112 or 1718 roman how do you count to this latest round of protests i mean a piece of the protest is still protesting to women. well as a singer and us and not have stopped resisting it seems that it's only starting actually and not one single run in and there were also protests in stream in summer and seeing there will neither of the crowds and speaking mark new trends are still

angry that a lot of young people like students age in this protest and there are more and more people of war on the stage because these people don't wish to use or they don't go on to the propaganda. is that we saw during the numbers of people in the russian resurgence. especially if you if you do it take it like there's a there's a serious percentage so styles of people it's stances of people in the in the room a small far away seat is so i think that people in the regions are even more active than in moscow right now which is. yeah and usal it's not only because these people are also against this economic crisis it is constitutional changes its roots of i'm going to go teach you the next elections you were laughing so going to put this one to you leon in tampa what social media

to people using the protests what is the amount to censorship going on thanks. shark there is. there is a ever ever occurring isolation happening any amount of censorship going on and sometimes there are certain media t.v. rain for example and in previous years different kinds of social media platform from live journal to tic tac to the conductor which is sort of the russian version as a spark and so this is happening sometimes there is a lot. oath of free speech allowed to happen and sometimes there's a lot less and there's a certainly a period when there's a lot less happening right i'm going to put this one to roman roman unaffiliated what happened to the russian doctor who treated nirvana in russia. yes that is

a decile one of the doctors in almost we're not buying it for us. if you cured or i don't know at least it was there i was in the desert one of the doctors is relevant because we spoke with that. because of the paranormal and soul team during well no one was there supposedly this is us that can sit in. a desk that's how it's you know i think you appreciate that one more at this point is to me this is a man never army has no plan he just does what he receives from overseas that is interesting that is suggesting that he's getting direction from international play something that we hear from inside russia from russian authorities often paul. well certainly vis a vis is the fin line of the kremlin and much of the media taking which is to portray. the century being in the pay of foreign states and

a video was released a few days ago showing one of his associates meeting with a russian diplomat and apparently asking the diplomat for. which could be spread about senior russian officials and billionaires such as. that are of a church who are famous for earning a british or some pickups so this is certainly the line which is which is big taken i i personally doubt it's that direct however. i think novelli understood was that possibly making. some the use of tactical mistake in appealing very much to. western states to put sanctions on russia and so on which is very much allowing the russian media to portray them in this light. and survey i think we need to be cautious about what to do to it only the act not

having that here it got from the moscow times this headline russia expelled european diplomats even avani protests from the foreign ministry so there was a meeting there were conversations it did not go well he's angela merkel from frankly the fish. but it didn't his us dollars are cheering our meeting we were and swarmed over the expulsion of german swedish and polish diplomats from moscow in connection with demonstrations on the volley we considered this expulsion to be unjustified and we believe this is a very very step away from the rule of law noticeable in russia right now think here that's a hood on. brewing as the situation around it only has it escalate he said now it's international crisis what does it feel like some insight russia.

but it's very important that was the community is now. stand against this a sin is sin or imprisonment. i think for that it wouldn't it is much more important what's. had the thinking satirists how many people will join this board to see how many celebrity has an opinion leaders will support no one and this is the most important because i don't think that sinks since something like this can chill is food is a regime by mrs brown it's millions of people come to see it is that would be a real challenge and it is what likely to happen this is why we seen you in you just a presence i think the president because we see not only. to his but also his own lists who are known to him some of them. have. you know list of uses opening is them on the brief absolutely wait for events so yeah this

is unbelievable and escalation is already happening so i don't know how it ends but we will see very dramatic political changes. let me just bring in a certain level of russia's foreign minister paul you go 1st and i'll make the foreign minister way to go have. already done that and i would say disagree with that i think it's very unlikely that we would see millions of people on the streets in russia. i think people are hoping that will be the case. of probably mistaken and it was interesting to see one of the liberal party leaders in russia grigori of his key making a sort of comment recently saying that. street protests had sometimes kept artifact in a creasing government oppression and so on and i think that's actually more likely than that we're going to see a massive wave of more protests comes from that some. women.

are lewinski is one or 2 members of the audience team so they're not even completely control some of them live in rules of the liberal opposition nurse but always see what we want to hear and of course who wants to hear that there will be no protests the want to suck entrepreneur active so that's why he's saying that and on the sort of millions of people will come to syria and absolutely sure that this will be the biggest crowds in recent history sold. any financial gain ever yeah can i can i put inside a level 1st alexis is that i came to thoughtfully and i want to share it here if you just give me a moment no no worries so you never think it's robbery as the thief responding to what appeared to be international pressure around the valley and request for his release have a listen have a look. and we'll be revisiting the mostly we're used to the european union more

and more often drawing lines one something descriptions that have no legal case we're building our money from the basis that we use an unreliable phone that you had leased for the time being and it is let me just ask you this question from you chip this is from alexandersson thanks are makes a question what kind of pressure can international community apply to putin's regime not counting the sanctions on specific individuals a specific parts of russian economy can you not sure at so of course you're right one major kind of sanctions is to sanction individuals and we saw this a few years ago saying shooting for example people's private their sat not letting their kids go to school in europe and so on travel bans and also to economic or trade sanctions like 2006 when russian except wind from georgia are in

2014 went in except she is a can tear he from france among other things you can so you can do these kinds of sanctions in again diplomatic sanctions like we just saw where we're expelling consular officials from russia from the u.s. from europe we saw all of this happening and none of this really has i believe a heavy likelihood to change putin's behavior because we have seen in the past that it has not affected a lot of policymaking however there is another kind of sanction which is a military sanction and any kind of nato posturing or a military. action that might happen in response certainly would have a strong reaction it's possible also the the sanctions against the pipeline happening between germany and russia would also result in some kind of policy changes. i want to bring in another thought into our conversation and this is where does this leave us we have a very high profile opposition figure in alexina valley who is now in crewe isn't

he's now doing time what does that mean for opposition voices in russia have a listen have a look and of a man i'd love to hear your response there's no sign of proteins approach of our arch repression of political opposition well the weakened in the near future and the only team i don't see them having a realistic strategy of being able to peel away members of the crittenden elite and get support from powerful business groups or regional officials i just don't see it happening unfortunately some afraid not only role. as a martyr to the cause of democracy in russia. there's a long line of people before him who also suffer and pay the price in the short run and the medium run has not been able to get russia back on

a democratic track. where i would agree that there is no clear path to. g.'s or even to revolution but you know all of this is are always unpredictable and for example in. college and the read 2014 no one in ukraine would believe to remove. this in armenia georgia during the stand and other us neighbors that is all is unpredictable that is why although i also don't want to make some concrete predictions on concrete days. i see that. in a. ron i'm sorry that we were losing the audio connection we see you but we don't he going to push on just a little bit because short c 100 he's a new jeep is isn't avani even popular enough to challenge president putin let me

share with you shortly a great question thank you let me share with you this on my laptop what do russians think about the valley this is a recent poll and the blue people who are proven avani the orange the disapprove look how big this is in russia right 56 percent and then a good 25 percent don't care but no and then looking at people thinking in russia you think that nobody should have come back to russia because of course he when he came back he was arrested 22 percent as a tiny percentage think that that was a good idea 51 percent a neutral let's just make that a shrug and 25 percent disapprove this is a very different annex in the valley pool inside russia than they appear to be outside of russia go ahead. yeah he's not a particular tickly popular person and that's true even among liberal

oppositionists a number of him i think regarding river a certain amount of suspicion. for a number of reasons the 1st 2 of his. extremist nationalist background where he has made a number of extreme the inflammatory statements about immigrants and jews and sexual and various others in the past. but also because he's i think seen as himself least as this is so what people fair have the sort of fear of but he's slightly authoritarian himself now whether that's true or not i cannot say i don't i don't know man but certainly this is this is the impression. one gets that people have of him within russia so he's not desperately popular what we've seen is over time like 5 years ago very few people knew of him. and as more people have known him the number of people who approve of him has gone up some as more people now say they fit positively often than did say 510 years ago simply because of more people

know of him but at the same time the number of people who disapprove of him has gone up even faster so it seems to me he's he's not probably the best figure to provide leadership in unity to the opposition movement the russian d. ask who has also weighed in on this conversation that never has really focused people's opinions and thoughts and attention to what is going on inside russia and academics have got together and then you have made an appeal to have a listen. westlake. a group of it condemn excess over 800 people of fresh in origin working across the globe issued an open letter asking and calling for de-escalation we are outraged by the use of chemical weapons which is in violation of international law would call to still persecuting alexina lung and his supporters and investigate and his poisoning we call to still beating

and suppressing peaceful demonstrators this path leads russia to catastrophic and we call to switch to cooperation to combat and democrats and address the major problems and this is the way to build the better world. i have to say that you have inspired a huge conversation in at you tube comments section i when you have your likes you know me has which is really mission accomplished got people to locate paul thank you for joining us today we're monoprice shit out of me and alexis thank you very much as well we really appreciate it if you want to follow the russia story many many stories for this particular what's happening to alexey have a look here you can always go to out a 0 dot called with slash news and you will find related stories some of this
