hello i'm barbara sara this is the al-jazeera news hour live from london thank you for joining us coming up in the next 60 minutes former top capitol police officers say bad intelligence left them unprepared for the january 6th attack by supporters of donald trump. u.s. golfer tiger woods has been rushed to hospital after a car accident will have the latest from los angeles malaysia defines a court order and the ports more than a 1000 myanmar nationals

a move that's triggered outrage and condemnation in georgia thousands protest against the arrest of a prominent opposition politician deepening a crisis that began with last year's disputed election i'm german ash with sports the champions league knockout stages a continuing right now called us by munich haven't lost in the competition if a nearly 2 years and it looks like they're going to keep that run going against let's say that in control of that one. we begin the news hour in the u.s. where the 2 senate panels have been hearing testimony as they investigate what went wrong on january 6th when a violent mob stormed the capitol senators have been told that capitol police did not have the training or equipment to prevent the riot and claims that the delay in that the ploy meant of national guard troops was

a face saving exercise have been rejected there was also testimony from a police officer who was injured in the attack i received chemical burns to my face that still have not healed to this day. i witnessed officers being knocked to the ground and hit with various objects that were thrown by rioters i was unable to determine exactly what those objects were i immediately assumed command in the rotunda and called for additional assets officers began to push the crowd out the door after a couple hours officers cleared the rotunda but had to physically hold the door closed because it had been broken by the rioters. one of the testimonies they will particle amos following all developments for us from capitol hill apache and surprisingly there's been intense scrutiny over the way in which capitol police responded to this event. well i think one of the reasons you solved that officer speak 1st she was on announce it was because the senators wanted to send

the message that they weren't necessarily criticizing the rank and file police officers we've all seen the video of them fighting back trying to keep the mob at bay this was more about the people who put them in the position that day and these were the 3 men who were in charge of security at the end of the day at the end of this very long period the basic takeaway is that they didn't really take any responsibility for what happened here i mean let's keep in mind that has been the question for weeks how could this happen this is the seat of democracy this is the symbol of democracy and it fell very quickly to a riotous mob of trump supporters what there is basically saying is it wasn't them their plan was fine it was the intelligence that they were given that was faulty now we do know when they admitted the f.b.i. warning that came from the field office the night before didn't make it to the capitol police intelligence branch but for some reason they said they testified they were not notified they did it meant that they had an assessment from days earlier that said that they were going to be white supremacist proud boys possibly

and in the crowd that violence could happen that some could be armed and in response to that they said they backed up the permit or keep putting fences further away from the actual capital important to point out that perimeter permit or staff with just a couple of police officers none of them in full riot gear and they use basically bike locks chains to keep the people of bay those. they were quickly overrun there were a lots of questions about the national guard the former police chief said he asked days in advance for the national guard to be on the capitol the people who he said he asked responded well it wasn't really a request it was more of a conversation. then he said that he 1st asked for the national guard during the ride at one o 9 the person who he said he asked said no it was more closer to 130 i don't remember any of that conversation and it wasn't until $220.00 that he did give the ok for the national guard to come in and it took several more hours for them to get here so a lot of finger pointing here not a lot of accountability. and pat if you will with the timeline is likely to be for

these hearings. well they're we're going to see 2 separate tracks here for the senate hearings the very public face is going to happen we believe next week they said it was going to be the department of defense homeland security the f.b.i. they're going to be brought in to ask why did it take so long for the national guard to come in who made that decision. for the f.b.i. why didn't you know and that's i think one of the bigger questions is that there was a lot of movement on social media before this so much so that every media crew that was here that day had their own private security so the whether or not they didn't have the intelligence that seems that many of the senators didn't quite buy that claim the other track is going to be similar to a 911 commission they're debating how many republican appointees and how many democratic points that will be but this is a committee that will have subpoena power they will go through the records they will interview people and try to get a minute by minute accounting of what happened what went wrong and who's

responsible but that's going to take months if not at least a year to come out to complain with the latest from capitol hill patty thank you. staying in the u.s. the american golfer tiger woods has been taken to hospital following a car accident in los angeles the extent of his injuries is not yet clear the l.a. county sheriff's office says this car sustained major damage and firefighters had the prize it open to remove him officers said he was the so occupied and what they called a single vehicle incident just after 7 am local time well reynolds is live for us in los angeles as so rob what's the latest what do we know. well as you mentioned barbara it's a very serious very violent accident for the golf legend tiger woods he has been undergoing surgery as according to latest reports and he has multiple leg

of life that's this high draw like device that bands and prize metal apart in order to get access to the victim inside the wreck. woods was rushed to a nearby trauma center at the u.c.l.a. medical center a source tells t m c sports that alcohol does not repeat does not appear to have been a factor in the collision in the in the accident involving tiger woods early today now with just 45 years old he's the father of 2 children certainly one of the greatest golfers all time winning 15 major championships including 5 masters tourny he's the most recent one after a stunning comeback from injuries in 2019 as a person of color in an overwhelmingly white sport tiger woods has shattered barriers and opened up horizons and has been an inspiration for many young people

and of course the. subject of intense adulation by is the millions of fans but woods has also had his share of trouble in life including an extremely messy divorce. the revelation of multiple infidelities and sex scandals and an arrest in 292017 when police found him unconscious behind the wheel of his car tiger woods said at that point that he had taken some prescription red medication and didn't realize how strong an effect it would have on him police do say it is not clear what caused the accident as you mentioned barbara tiger woods was the only occupant of the vehicle there was no other cars involved there were no passengers in his car the incident remains under investigation and i'll just mention also barbara that tiger woods has had. a lot of physical discomfort and injuries in recent years in fact he had his 5th back

surgery just a short time after christmas in december of last year. and certainly there's a possibility that the highly kinetic and violent nature of this accident may have aggravated those injuries but we're waiting now for word on his condition when he comes out of surgery and for word from the police and sheriff's deputies about the nature of the accident and what may have happened early this morning in los angeles back to you you'll be monitoring developments for us we'll check in with you as soon as there is a grand olds with the latest from los angeles thank you. and still to come on the news hour hostile questioning for the woman fighting to be the 1st native american cabinet secretary hong kong's government swears by any new law all elected officials must pledge allegiance to china and why. footballers are

a native american woman leading that the partment of the interior of the vast agency oversees 200000000 hectares of public land and more than 300 native american reservations in the past that the partment repeatedly reduced the size so the size of reservations broke treaties and forced the native americans into dependency and he hoped that harlan's position managing natural resources will give native americans a stronger voice in government her nomination has been praised by the sue who led the 2016 protests against the planned gas pipeline through their land if confirmed i would be the 1st native american to serve as cabinet secretary this is storied nature of my confirmation is not lost on me but i will say it's not about me and our climate challenge must be addressed together we can work to position our nation and all of its people for success in the future and i am

committed to working cooperatively with all stakeholders and all of congress to strike the right balance going forward mike hanna is live in washington d.c. for us so 1st of all how likely do you think it is that hollande will be confirmed . well given the democratic majority in the senate with the vice president's deciding vote then certainly she it does appear that she will be confirmed that being said though there has been some opposition limited as it is even within some democratic party circles and you mentioned the 26000 protests she was aligned with some of those activist groups who protested against that particular pipeline she's also seen as being from the more progressive wing of the democratic party a supporter of the new green deal for example which some democrats oppose vigorously but most of the hostile questioning during this hearing before the senate energy committee has come from republicans in particular those with known

ties to the oil industry and she's walking a tightrope here and she made very clear that what she will do as interior secretary is carry out the wishes of the american president that is joe biden she was plying that her personal feelings have nothing to do with what kind of policy she would adopt now among that policy was asked particularly for example about the issue of fracking on u.s. public land there are answers to that was that while president biden is opposed to fracking so i will impose his policy at the same time she is walking this very delicate balance balance between the use of resources such as coal and electricity and against the need for to fight against climate change this she says she's well versed to do she comes from albuquerque she is a representative for new mexico and that state in particular has very very close ties to the energy industry and

a great need to develop much capital to much income and of course provides many many jobs so she is in a way in a unique position and would be absolutely central in president biden's attempt to create a clean energy within the united states and she will be at the very forefront should she be confirmed into. terms of putting that into practical effect out of balance the need for energy with the need to keep a clean climate at the same time to preserve the jobs that are inherent within the why the u.s. energy industry i can now with the latest from washington d.c. thank you united nations security council members have met virtually to discuss the impact of climate change on international peace and security secretary general and one of the parish describe that as the final issue of our time the u.k. prime minister boris johnson who chaired the meeting called for richer countries to do more to help vulnerable ones at that

a diplomatic editor james bays is more now from the u.n. headquarters in new york this is the highest level meeting of the security council on this issue the u.k. has the presidency this month called the meeting there are some countries that believe climate change shouldn't be discussed in the security council notable among them is russia it's a point that was picked up by the british prime minister boris johnson in his trademark flippant style. i know that there are people around the world who will say that this is all curly green stuff from a bunch of tree hugging too few munches and not suited to international diplomacy and international politics i couldn't disagree more profoundly the us climate envoy john kerry effectively apologized for his country not being in the paris climate deal for the last 4 years but he said his country was now back in

permanently president biden knows that we don't have a moment to waste which is why he moved to rejoin the paris agreement just hours after being sworn in and it is why he has directed toward no that whole of government approach to address the climate crisis elevate the issues of national security priority and to put america on an irreversible path to achieve net 0 emissions by 2050 or earlier and i emphasize reversible by any president by any demagogue of the future the u.n. believes that the commitments made by countries of the past climate deal back in 2060 now don't go far enough and that's why there's a big build up to another climate summit that's happening in glasgow in scotland at the end of this year facebook says it will restore news content to its users in australia that the signal was announced after the government agreed to

amend legislation making tech giants pay for australian news content the 20th has. the compromise agreed between the australian government and facebook has been welcomed by uses and is a victory in the short term at least for australia's news outlets who have their facebook pages restored or facebook has refrained of a strike and a stray in news will be restored to the facebook platform. and facebook has committed to entering into good faith negotiations with a strain news media businesses in seeking to reach agreements to pay for content facebook has agreed to invest tens of millions of dollars into australia is struggling new sector in return it will avoid mandatory payments that could have cost it vastly more and created what it sees as an alarming global president at the

end of the dive price books accepted the premise that there needs to be an accommodation between their market dominance in advertising and the public interest having journalism and news content in australia the social media giant sparked outrage last week by blocking news content for its australian uses in protest against legislation that would have forced it to pay media companies when it we publish their content. google faced the same threat that took the opposite approach striking a deal with rupert murdoch's news call i think facebook going to my view a lot of misjudged this one and. i think the market's going to respond pretty strongly with competing places to get news. but if you're an active. facebook user you just have to get into the habit of electing a new system alternative that. there's been years of escalating tension between governments and big tech many saw facebook's blocking of australia media as an

attack on free speech and even a threat to democracy and that could alter the road to regulation putting companies like facebook under more pressure than ever before similar laws are already being discussed in the e.u. and canada that musicology has been radically disrupted in the last little while and i think there is a global appetite for regulation and it won't happen for facebook and google and others to pay something for the news that is linked to from their platforms and i think this is just $1.00 step in that process google and facebook have 2 months to reach further deals with australian news outlets and devoid being forced to pay it to a gate and be out there pakistan's prime minister is on his 1st international trip since the start of the pandemic to sri lanka and one khan was greeted by prime minister mahane there russia packs at the start of a 2 day visit there expected to discuss bilateral trade and sign multiple economic

has this visitors to strengthen our bilateral relationship it is to strengthen our trading toys. part of. the pelton growth initiative of china. flagship program. connectivity good one thing that both leaders studiously avoided was essentially any mention of the 2 sort of key factors of this visit one the increasing concern and fraud by the muslim community here in sri lanka against the government's policies of force cremation of call with 9000 victims essentially all hopes only imran khan to use his good offices to get the government to change it stands and not allow muslims to bury

their dead obviously the other issue is the united nations human rights council which will hear a report from its high commissioner on wednesday a very damning report from what we've seen with far reaching sort of sanctions being called for. this is the news hour from london still ahead u.k. farmers facing a new financial strait despite the government making promises until the cows come home. and the wife of the mexican drug lord what chapo guzman appears in court accused of helping her husband run his multi-billion dollar cartel. india and england will play their storage test at the biggest stadium in world cricket to hear from both camps with gemma in school.

we've got more lovely spring like weather across a good part of here now set into the central areas but there is quite a contrast further race where it is basically cold in moscow minus 18 celsius fair not this warmth that we have across central parts that eventually going to make its way further east was plus 18 in palin scorching weather hip beautiful that mahler rare that warm weather will actually will further research as we go on through wednesday going on into thursday a bit above freezing in moscow by thursday and rising as we go through the next few days you can see how the warms really does wind out nicely then so not too bad with a moderate coming in from the atlantic i'm afraid it does mean some spells of western weather sliding across oland into wales pushing into well in england easing up across scotland once again quite a brisk wind still in place across as western pass muster fronts the low countries

pushing across into germany fine try warm and sunny beautiful spring like weather continuing here there will be somewhat of weather coming into spain in portugal easing across france as we go on into thursday but too bad spaces in western weather to across the far north of algeria over the next couple of days but for the most part well then africa is fine dry and sunny. frank assessments should we be buying bit coy ultimately it will be sovereigns and governments who are buying this and in-depth analysis of the day's global headlines inside story on our. march on al-jazeera. 10 years on from the tsunami that struck japan al-jazeera revisits the people most affected by the disaster football rebels eric cantona presents

388000000 doses of its vaccine to 20 countries including india brazil and argentina china has offered 424000000 doses of its scientists in a farm and the sin of act vaccines to dozens of countries including the including 1000 in africa and israel has given some pfizer vaccine doses to the palestinians as well as honduras and guatemala which have embassies in jerusalem rather than tel aviv well let's speak with a less than pedro a senior fellow at the institute for statecraft he joins us now from barcelona search think you so much for joining us here on al-jazeera so do you think that that is in part what's going on that some countries are using their vaccine reserves to try to gain some kind of global influence. well i think that's pretty obvious and yes that psyche what is happening and and many countries in particular

3000 estates are you seen the books enough bottles for it to in this era of hyper competition that we are going through i mean obviously you know the more vaccines there are to go around the better because we all know that there is a lot of pressure i mean in wealthy countries let alone the developing world so what is it that we mena what is it that you mean when you say influence what is it exactly that countries like china or russia may or may not be asking for from countries that are giving vaccines to. yeah well as you have said obviously the more boxes the better and the sooner everyone is boxing needed the better and we will overcome to spend them and that's obvious this massive p.r. campaign that we are seeing from countries that are donating or making big announcements that they are planning to deliver millions of those is to vulnerable countries so that's not a problem exactly the problem is that these normally comes in combination with all

of the need shit these and attempts to influence are done since certain a strategic goals when i talk about all the elements in combination with this and referring to a very aggressive diplomacy sometimes problems related to the spread of massive spread of this information we have witnesses that we have seen this over the last month that was described as an intraday mique we have seen as well the spread or the. promotion of and the boxing conspiracy theories and now we have a problem. in many countries now we're seeing across capitals of the world demonstrations of people who don't want to get us unaided and this has been a well documented that it's origin is mostly coming from from russia and sometimes china as well so that's that's what i see the. the problem and these use of the boxes are set aside to and actually as

a weapon in this geopolitical petition obviously the the anti vaccine movement as such you know predates that and we did see you know in several countries that was fresh and vaccines you know for other issues but again just the point when you say that the countries like china and russia are using their their influence against her to to me put you on the spot but do we have any idea what that would mean specifically maybe with specific countries and specific territorial situations. yes well in the in the last year actually there has been. thousands of cases that have been or examples have been well documented of these influence operations we sold these prisons in italy how the chain needs we're announcing a new cyndi's of the p.r. alteration and at the same time we have seen that they have been trying to somehow cover up or at least. not giving facilities or to to research or investigate

the grounds here of the corona virus in 100 so now we are seeing that they are when they announce the delivery of doses to these vulnerable countries mostly not recollect in america any parts of asia this comes together normally with the west and kind of narratives because we are also seen how much or how effectively and aggressively sometimes they're spreading these narratives so it's not only saying that 8 we are doing good and we have our safety books since they're also the same time and under the surface or under the radar trying to our the my orders efforts to to overcome defend them ik or all the rest simply kind of this is illiterate or international agenda nicholas the federal senior fellow at the institute for statecraft sir going to have to leave it there thank you for sharing your views with us my pleasure thank you it's going to hong kong now where the government has

announced plans to require all elected officials to swear an oath of allegiance to china if they refuse to or they make it insincerely they could lose their jobs and be barred from running for 5 years this comes a day after china's top official in hong kong hinted that there would be major changes to make sure that it's run by so-called patriots the new rules extend to pro-democracy district councillors who won by a landslide back in 2019 betray us in beijing and says the move brings home kong closer into the state. this move will take hong kong one step closer to resemble in any other mainland province it will make it very very difficult for any dissenting voices to hold public office in hong kong now hong kong officials gave a press conference on trees they often in announcing this draft bill which will essentially require district councils to take an oath of allegiance to the government that is pledge their loyalty essentially to beijing now this also

applies to lawmakers and they will also take into account possible hevia and anybody considered to be. not following through with this or the villages to beijing will be banned from election for 5 years now this affects hong kong's 400 or so district council is and many of those district councils won their seats in the 2019 election and what's key to remember is overwhelmingly these district council is pro-democracy or opposition figures now the result of this election was extremely embarrassing for beijing which has been trying to sell the message that most of the people of hong kong offered for the communist party now another similar election was due to take place last year and that was postponed due to corbett and it was expected to take place later this year and analysts were predicting another pro-democracy landslide so this change really is beijing's way of preventing that from happening emma. the wife of the mexican drug lord what kenya

chapo guzman has appeared in a u.s. court she was arrested outside washington on monday accused of helping her husband run his multibillion dollar carto u.s. authorities say that she helped to distribute a range of drugs including metal fessor means cocaine and heroin she's also accused of plotting to help her husband escape from a mexican prison in 2015 before he began a life sentence in the u.s. but aware apollo is following developments from mexico city still and what did we learn from the court appearance. well that initial court hearing concluded on the or in the early afternoon on tuesday with the jordan the judge in the hearing ordering that emma could be held without bond pending a trial now emma couldn't participate in this trial via phone call via a conference call from her jail cell in in alexandria virginia just across the

river from washington d.c. we still don't know what the purpose was of that initial visit that ended with her being arrested at dulles airport on tuesday and this is actually a question that her own attorney has refused to answer so there are still unanswered questions what we do know about emma quite an end she's the wife of what kenya and chapo guzman the notorious boss of this in a lower drug cartel she's 31 years old she was born in california holds dual citizenship both in the united states and in mexico and according to an affidavit by the u.s. department of justice she is facing several drug conspiracy charges in the united states according to u.s. investigators she is also she has also played a quote unquote active role in the organization itself in the sin of lower drug cartel not only before her husband was apprehended by u.s. authorities but since that she is also believed to have participated in the 2015 conspiracy to break him out of out of prison that daring prison escape that caught

international attention that really put not only el chapo himself on international radar but really elevated this in a lower drug cartel to an almost legendary status so she is very well known as you can imagine this is a fairly big news here in mexico the mexican president under this model is what i thought was asked specifically about the arrest during his morning press conference early on tuesday of the president said that ultimately this is going to be a matter that corresponds to u.s. authorities during that initial hearing midday on tuesday in arlington in the united states there were. back and forth we heard both from prosecutors as well as from the defense who say that they're going to speak to the judge to schedule the next hearing we still don't know when that hearing is going to take place but there is something important to note that these are very serious these very serious charges against mrs guzman and if she is convicted she's facing a minimum sentence of 10 years in prison a maximum sentence of life in prison and

a 10000000 dollar penalty and what happened though with the latest on that from mexico city thank you a 22 year old indian climate activist has been granted bail following her arrest accused of helping protesting farmers the shadow was that tame the new delhi 10 days ago for sedition authorities claim that she made an online demonstration tool kit which sparked the violence she had started a local movement linked to the swedish activist the brightness of berg tens of thousands of farmers have been protesting against new laws that they say will hit to the price that they've received for their produce. one of the men accused of the murder of a maltese investigative journalist has admitted to her murder even sent the most capped was sentenced to 15 years in prison after suddenly changing his plea to guilty that snake. was killed in

a car bombing in 2017 police say most cats remotely detonated the device in a plot which they claim was masterminded by a millionaire with links to the government jailing came as a further 3 men were arrested. the jobless rate in south africa has jumped to 32.5 percent that's its highest since records began in 2008 between october and the summer of last year a further 700000 people lost their jobs meaning 7200000 people were unemployed that means a 3rd of the working age population does not have a job south africa has the confidence highest rate of coronavirus infections and its economy was already in recession before the pandemic hit l.m.n. is from standard bank south africa she explains why it will take even longer for the economy to recover we had an unemployment crisis even before that

and to all that this is doing is it's just eccentric i think that and saying you know it's even it's going to take even longer to make any positive impact on the very high unemployment rate of the crisis is i think part of the problem is just that job growth has been quite sluggish. and i think that links back to economic growth that has been very predation over the last number of years and there are a number of reasons for that one is policy uncertainty and other is structural constraints of the economy so for example we've had significant low cheating over the last couple of years and over the last at least 2 years that done rifty reduce the economic growth by one percent yeah and that's just the direct impact then you have to say you kondraty have any capek's any new expansion in capacity building if you're unsure about the availability of electricity so i think it's that structural

constraint to the economy that being means that there is very little scope for any women president who's now with the crosses in the lock down of the restrictions receiving any additional impact. the ruling party candidate mohamed has been declared the winner of this presidential election the country's electoral commission says he took 55.7 percent of the vote in a runoff poll his challenger the former president mohamed man says the result is for jill and his supporters have been protesting and burning tires in the capital election observers have urged the candidates to respect the final results with vote counting still ongoing. u.k. prime minister boris johnson has promised a better life for farmers outside of the european union at a virtual meeting of the national farmers union he vowed to boost trade and they improve standards that some food producers are worried about short term loss says.

anti flooding measures protecting wildlife habitats and planting trees now that we have left the new payments and incentives will reward farmers for farming more sustainably creating space for nature on their land based on seeing animal health and welfare reducing carbon emissions but in the short term some farmers who rely on exporting to europe face real uncertainty new customers checks and paperwork mean delays and extra costs the u.k. currently exports around 18 percent of the beef it produces wealth of barley the figures around 22 percent and in both those cases the vast majority of the exports nearly 90 percent go to the european union. so whatever trade deals britain strikes with other countries in the next few years many farmers here simply can't afford to ignore that european market. but for david x. word in n.f.u. representative who runs this farm in southern england the real worry lies elsewhere
