yunnan all feel lost in japan on al-jazeera. this is al-jazeera. now that nick clegg this is the news hour live from doha coming up in the next 60 minutes. using their calls to drive home that message and he can protest as a man mark nor military warnings they continue demonstrating for a return to democracy. accused of terrorism a long time critic everyone this president credited for saving hundreds of lives during the genocide goes on trial. south africa has to start vaccinating its health workers with the johnson and johnson. as part of a research program. and

a fierce winter storm in the southern parts of the united states leaves dozens dead and millions without power. and with all the. major upset at the australian open new world number one a favorite actually bought crashes out in the quarterfinals. so we begin this new model where protesters are trying to increase pressure on the military to ensure the release of the ousted leader and since hoochie detention was set to end on wednesday there is no indication whether she will be freed protesters are gathering in central yang gone and intensely causing traffic jams she was arrested 2 weeks ago the own forces seized power on tuesday her lawyer said the military filed additional charges potentially long in detention and let's speak now

to scott joins us from the a thai capital of bangkok and stepping up their campaign against a military coup. they are nic and we knew that this was going to probably take place what we're seeing unfolding on the streets particularly in yangon right now on wednesday we knew it was going to be coming on tuesday late tuesday because of those events that you talked about and additional charge against on song suchi statements from the military saying that they didn't stage a coup that they had to do what they did really angered the protest movement so there was social media chatter on late on tuesday saying today wednesday is going to be a big protest day and it's proven to be accurate because with the numbers we're seeing particularly in the. area which is right in central yangon right next to the city hall thousands of people have been pouring in pretty much the entire day what was interesting earlier as you mentioned nic there was a campaign called the broke broken down car campaign where people drove their cars

into the central part of yangon and then pretended that they had broken down so it really kind of snarled things for a while mainly to prevent. mobility for the military and for the police trucks but then they also realized that that was preventing people from coming into the protests so they call that off but the numbers we're seeing right now so far are quite amazing something we haven't seen in at least several days possibly shipping out to be the biggest one biggest protest yet nick what about the detention still no indication of when she might be freed if you do. you know there's no indication that i guess when you have judicial body run by they change the rules and they change the playing field all the time and that's what we saw this week monday we're supposed to have they were supposed to be hearing about her 1st charge this was one about the charge criminal charge against her having walkie talkie radios that was delayed they said until today wednesday we haven't heard

anything we're not expecting really at this stage to hear anything on that charge and then late on tuesday they put another charge on her about breaking coded rules back in november when she was campaigning for the election that's kind of the root of what we're seeing now that is what the military government said was the reason that they had to take over because they said that that was a fraudulent election that the end of the young son suit she's party won by a landslide but they're saying that that was a 2nd juror there saying that she campaigned illegally because she should have been restricted movement should have been restricted because of covert 1000 restrictions but right now that frustration and that anger and all those issues we're really seeing come out on the streets of yangon but also across the country as well but right now again that's go to area right in central yangon it's getting really big or it's got a timing thing so let's go to bangkok following events. a group of men has

a type of school could not get least 50 students and staff it up in the state at least one student is said to be killed we'll bring you more details on this just as soon as they become available. now the man whose story influence the hollywood film hotel rwanda is going on trial in the couple could golly paula russo begin a is facing at 9 charges including murder robbery along to a terrorist organization it was praise for his role in saving the lives of more than 1000 people during the rwandan genocide and later fell out with the government has been so is following this in joining us from nairobi governor tell us more about the charges against this man and and what to expect in this trial. i mean this hearing is still going on there are $21.00 suspects that the high court into gali including paul who says a bag who as you rightly mentioned there has been charged with 9 offenses including

mada and belonging to a terrorist organization other suspects have not taken a plea yet but what is interesting is that he has stayed in a has said through his lawyers that he is not our one then a citizen he says that a belgian national and this is significant because it's going to determine how the court is going to handle this case he also says that a high 4th division of course would have prime's in rwanda is not competent to handle his case he wants his case moved to belgium courts he also said that he was abducted from. belgium and brought to wonder where he says he is a hostage and now the prosecution has responded to that as well saying that that's a big night is do all cities then they say that all his parents are one then and doesn't and because he's got he's a belgian citizenship in 2000 it doesn't explain how he's not to run the nationals

they say that and he wanted to revoke to revoke his one the nationality and then should have full of the proper channels his family have been speaking about him as well saying that they're worried and not confident that he's going to get a fair hearing in one day they say that his health is not that he's not doing well in terms of his was a very interesting case to watch and many people are very closely watching this case not just in rwanda and mic but also across the world because as you mentioned in that intro he is a must man. yeah it is a complete turn around for richard beginning because his story as i said earlier became the the basis of the 2004 movie hotel rwanda yes it is and you know what is also interesting like this whole trial basically centers on he's movement for democratic change we has an armed wing called the national

liberation front now the national liberation front is accused by the car went all attacks in villages and towns in the southwest killing dozens of people destroying property back to 28 scenes in the courtroom there are 2084 victims who are claiming reparations as well now as previous seems. to say that that did form this group to overthrow president paul kagame a key the key is critical the president and his leadership but his family says that the government. he made this the allegations he said that he was in charge of this group under duress and as you mentioned he has been claimed as a hero he has gotten numerous awards because of what he did opening the doors to the hotel he ran during the genocide facing one of the thousands who sees who are

being hunted down by the hutu by hutu militia but then the government says that because and they accuse him of being a terrorist or finding a terrorist organization they say that has to be held to account or got to relieve this man thanks very much for bands captured so the nairobi. plenty more still ahead on the news hour including. a large scale infrastructure projects are threatening the ecologically fragile region. and the outbreak that scott's west africa more worried than coronavirus how guinea is taking swift action. sport an unforgettable night in barcelona for this world cup winning striker the latest football coming up later in the program. now south africa is set to begin its kind of a $1000.00 vaccination program on wednesday after some delays it will administer

the johnson and johnson jobs this single day fact will be given to health care workers as part of a research study the government suspended the rollout of astra zeneca earlier this month and that was after data showed that the vaccine offered minimal protection against the country's more contagious variant johnson and johnson has not been approved for emergency use so let's cross live to me in johannesburg for me to johnson and johnson this shot is being rolled out and it is this one shot vaccine is not. it is a one shot vaccine which the south african government says would be easier to deal with logistically as opposed to 2 shots over a period of time and while they are there all those questions around approval globally in south africa specifically the government has said that it's going about this through an implementation study and an adjusted rollout specifically because

you can get approval for that quicker than a mass rollout which would happen in months to come so for the time being the the the south african health products authority has said it's fine to use within this information implementation study and that's also specifically because of this variant in south africa that's proven to be more contagious and of course what led to the south african government saying we're not going to use astra zeneca as is for now we're going to move on to johnson and johnson so all the time being south africa has now received about 80000 doses of the johnson and johnson vaccine those are the doses receiving being distributed throughout the country to about 16 or 17 sites the 1st we'll see done will be in khayelitsha in cape town and one of the 1st people to get that vaccination will be president. as well as the health minister and his deputy and also they will then inoculate health workers at that

particular clinic what about the stockpile of shoes seneca vaccines what's going to come to those. well a couple of weeks ago south africa did receive about a 1000000 doses of astra zeneca south africa has said that based on local studies it's not as effective against the new variant so it wouldn't necessarily be as useful as it hoped the efficacy had reduced to about 23 percent compared to johnson and johnson which prevents about 57 percent of severe moderate to severe cases of this new variant of covert 19 so for the meantime the government has said that they are looking at sharing the astra zeneca with other african countries through the african union depending on interest and i suppose how they could get those vaccines across the continent is just a 1000000 doses and for countries who are trying to achieve herd immunity it really is a drop in the ocean but i think the south african government in particular has been at pains to say it's not wasted we didn't waste money we didn't waste time and this

is going to be put to use or admitted thanks for that update from johannesburg mexico plans to voice its concerns over vaccine distribution at the united nations president entrées manuel lopez obrador says the process favors rich countries and leaves the poorer nations behind he's accused of plants in the united states of only producing vaccines for americans forcing mexico to negotiate with the e.u. to secure jobs in mexico began the 2nd phase of its vaccination campaign on sunday and to peru where the doctor leading a cave in 1000 vaccine trial that has said for the president the former president requested and received an early vaccination out of turn nearly 500 people including motor is carter's wife and senior government officials have been secretly inoculated ahead of health care workers around sanchez's mourner from lima.

former president that these guys are among a group of politicians who secretly got a coronavirus job before anyone else in it's been revealed the vaccine was part of a supply of around 3000 sent by chinese pharmaceutical scene a farm these were in addition to the 12000 used in a trial. i was never told that there were more vaccines than the 12000 of this trial or that people in my government were participating i sincerely apologize. dr hillman malaga who let the trials and he's got a shot testified in congress on tuesday the former president knew what vaccine he was getting and so conversely i told him we had like seems that active. began its next anation campaign last week but at least 487 people were quietly inoculated between september and february the outgoing foreign minister said she couldn't afford getting sick the former health minister said she was afraid of the virus. i

reiterate our anger and disappointment for learning that many public officials took advantage of their position for being immunized with vaccines that arrive separately to those used in the clinical trials. the list of beneficiaries included officials and doctors who weren't part of the trial many brought along their wives husbands in-laws friends consultants or in vitesse. these are photos of more than 300 doctors who lost their lives fighting the pandemic in addition there are nurses paramedics hospital workers a long list of people who've been fighting on the front line against the coronavirus who have died without a chance to get a vaccine. the scandal known as vaccine gate has caused outrage. whose family is suffering from covert 19 has been queuing up for days to fill his tank with oxygen. it's awful cause those vaccines. meant to be for those in

intensive care and people in hospitals are waiting for those doses running low on oxygen hospitals are overwhelmed more than $43000.00 are did exist death rate is more than 120000. is now being investigated by the attorney general prosecutors and legislators but many say it's already clear the group put their own lives ahead of others. japan has started a nation campaign against 1000 is planning to inoculate 4000000 people by the end of march it is a critical time with less than 6 months to go before tokyo is due to host the olympic games which of course were delayed by a year because of the virus this. trailing other developed nations and many of its asian neighbors by many weeks finally japan is rolling out its vaccines the 1st people to get the pfizer jab are thousands of health workers often criticised

for failing to use the latest technology in controlling the outbreak japan is now using a popular online messaging service to centralize the vaccination booking system but a lack of specialized syringes means millions of doses could be wasted safe to sure since the vaccines are very valuable the government is working to procure more special for engines that can extract 6 doses from. contributing to the delayed rollout has been the requirement for extensive testing of the vaccine in a country that historically has a mistrust of mass vaccination campaigns. the vaccine was developed so quickly so it scares me to think about it side effects and its effectiveness. over concerns but i'll get better through it it becomes available japan has imposed strict border controls which it believes has helped in keeping the outbreak under

control so many here are worried about the prospect of hosting the upcoming summer olympics so opening up the borders and green people from all over the world where there are various different strains of the virus does not seem like an inspired idea here to a lot of public health officials and the public at large but the government is determined they will go ahead at the end of july although big questions remain over what form they will take last year the government was also determined right up until they pulled the plug so i think you know sometime later in march we'll have a better idea they are going to proceed. but you know really ill lympics lurched. to another scandal the latest scandal has been the resignation of former olympic committee president mori over sexist remarks he made earlier this month the

for 40 years the message is clear gadhafi out. some protesters take up arms seizing territory and pushing toward the capital tripoli. gadhafi forces fight back and a few weeks later the masses them for an attack on benghazi for a final attempt to cross the rebels. the international community's alarmed at the prospect of an imminent massacre by gadhafi as heavily armed forces that can attack from the air on the ground. led by the un security council a no fly zone run by nato is imposed on the country in march things move quickly. the rebels push forward but face heavy losses the international community establishes the international context group of libya the recognizes the national transitional council as the country's legitimate government by august the rebels have taken tripoli and gadhafi is on the run. 20th he's captured by rebel fighters and killed. his son saif al islam is captured signaling the end of the gadhafi

family's hold on power in libya there's a tense peace in the country. then in september 2012 the u.s. ambassador and 3 others were killed by a group calling itself and saw algeria in the consulate in benghazi. 2014 libya is on the verge of civil rule the interim government refuses to disband sparking major protests armed factions rise across the country. in benghazi warlord khalifa haftar battles on groups led by and sharia that claim to represent islam in may that year have to try to seize the parliament building in tripoli claiming the government is backing the armed groups he is fighting he files and which rolls back to benghazi by july the situation so dangerous the u.n. pulls out of tripoli much of the capital is destroyed by fighting. taking advantage of the chaos fighters claim to represent eisel take control of sirte the focus will

have to forces becomes eisel the islamic state while the rest of the country different factions cement their power by 2017 he's defeated eisel and pushes forward and takes more territory april 2019 he decides to take tripoli for his fighters battle forces with the internationally recognized government of national accord well the jna it's backed by turkey and have to us forces are supported by france egypt russia and the u.a.e. . is not a decade after the libyan revolution the country still facing violence and competing international interest and there's no immediate prospects for peace and stability and wrong car observer. and i speak to my trainer who joins us live now from tripoli like a decade on from the start of the revolution there's been so much division tens of thousands of lives lost really not a great deal to celebrate. it's not libya has had a very difficult time after the revolution in 2011 political divisions and and

fighting within the country has really marginalized or made it difficult for libyans across the country the economic situation. is very poor and the political division has a big big hand in that but february 17th is also a day of celebration it's seen its revered here it's seen as a day where libyans rose up against wal-mart gadhafi for a for free and democratic country years on it's still celebrated and it's and it's a day of remembering remembering the thousands who sacrificed their lives for a free and democratic country of course it hasn't panned out the way that people want wanted it to to to end up but there is a glimmer of hope this month we saw the libyan political dialogue form a vote in a new new presidential council and a prime minister they should be nominating

a cabinet within days to lead the parliament the parliament has had a lot of problems uniting they've been split between eastern and western libya yesterday they attempted to hold the session that didn't really pan out but they hope to within the next couple of days try to come together in the city of sirte but for now i mean last night we took a drive around tripoli and the flags flags people are carrying flags people are out celebrating people are people are insistent that despite the challenges they want to free and democratic country so we'll be headed to the martyrs square later on today where tens of thousands are expected to come out and celebrate all right many thanks for that more with the management of the in tripoli well libya has seen a lot of international involvement of the last decade nation of ships and planes. targeted market office forces in march 2 10111 month after protests began nato

supported the rebels primarily targeting gadhafi soldiers from the air until he was killed in october 2011 but international support splinted after disputed elections in 2014 as libya divided into rival administrations in the east and in the west turkey in qatar supported the un backed government of national accord in tripoli egypt the u.a.e. and russia supported the tobruk based house of representatives and warlord. after last year the un called for international military support to cease as it accused foreigners of fueling a fight let's break now to peter millipedes a former british ambassador to libya and joins us now via skype welcome to the program so it's been a day of celebration to a degree really it's been a tragic story of that follows many foreign intervention in libya was that war the international community steps in and there's a worse crisis afterwards and that last for 10 years and hasn't stopped yet. no

there hasn't and the 2 or 3 years i spent in the bia showed that actually it's the people who are who are suffering i think when we remember back to 2011 this was a popular revolution this was the people rising up against 42 years of dictatorship and deprivation unfortunately that revolution and then asked 10 years has been hijacked by a political elite that didn't want to share i think we do have to remember that the legacy of gadhafi one of the legacies of gadhafi was that there was no democracy there was no debate debate was not tolerated and he hollowed out all the. state tried to expect that democracy would grow organically perhaps expecting a little bit too much but that revolution was also hijacked and then licious into the penal corruptions who just want to control the resources of the state by the

have to who launched the bombardment of tripoli on the thought of april 2019 and by divisions within the international community rather than us and that's the thing i want to pick you up on not because one of the biggest problems in libya currently for some years has been trying to contain the the regional actors many of whom of you know these divergent visions for their country from. turkey russia itself yeah . and it has been the phenomenon of countries paying lip service to a political process they all came together in berlin last january and they all signed up to respect for the arms embargo and noninterference respect for the territorial integrity of libya and so on while at the same time providing weapons and arms to both sides i think the international community seems to have come together behind.

and this process they are backing the u.n. process but i think they're actually waiting to see how that situation pans out and whether their own interests in trying to control the outcome. succeeds i think there is still a problem of international partners undermining the central u.s. led process. this new unity government you know we've seen it once before back in 2015 that government failed to unite the country in any meaningful way and you know fighting continued why would it be different this time. i think there is a different atmosphere at the moment maybe i'm clutching at straws but i think there is a there is a tiredness there is a popular demand for stability this country should be massively prosperous it's got the largest oil reserves in africa and a population of only 6000000 i think the new team if they play their cards

properly and if sufficient pressure is put on these divided house of representatives and so forth to come together and implement the roadmap that has been set out by the dialogue forum then there is a us that actions in december will provide. further progress towards prosperity and stability i think the elections having actual elections rather than this this is only a transitional government for the next 910 months its main purpose is to launch the elections in december. it was great to get your analysis depreciate that thanks very much indeed peter millet speaking to us from london former british ambassador to libya. u.s. president joe biden is in wisconsin where he's promoting his 1.9 trillion dollar relief plan to help battle economic fallout from the pandemic concent was one of the key states in his presidential victory and has been hit hard by cave in 1000

john hendren reports now from milwaukee. president joe biden went on a whistle stop tour to pitches $1.00 trillion dollars coded relief plans. it is estimated that if you re passed this bill alone will create 7000000 jobs this year 7000000 jobs this year 1st stop milwaukee in a state reeling economically from the pandemic bigger is better now not spending less $33.00 when the focus brothers construction company became the general contractors for the democratic national convention it was a corporate coup when the pandemic forced the convention to go virtual the democrats cancelled the contract and that's about how 2020 went here in wisconsin last year was a rough year so we're looking forward to 2021 and out we have the vaccine and
