vaccinating high priority people with the senior back jabot some here feel as though the lack of transparency around the vaccine is not limited to trial data you have a major type of problem at the c.p. group that taking a stake in a company that produces side of back like some of its neighbors thailand is ordering vaccines from other companies as well. as ousted president faces new charges in santee cooper tests ignore a military crackdown continue their demand for a return to democracy. following a cloud this is live from the heart also coming up warnings of a health catastrophe in brazil authorities call for a nationwide lockdown on the same day the country records its highest ground for

death toll. is laid at the end of the tunnel and we cannot let our guard down now president joe biden cautions the u.s. is still at war with covert 19 and announces plans to speed up production of johnson and johnson. a 7 year old girl caught up in police raids they're accused of being heavy handed with choosing to dismiss the checks. so that a month after the military seized power the charges amounting up for mere miles ousted leader the lawyer for deposed president when many says he's facing new accusations include breaching the constitution which is punishable by up to 3 years in prison he was arrested along with civilian leader aung san suu kyi who's also been hit with several charges since the cute. well protesters continue to defy and it's collating crackdown to demand an end to the military takeover it's before

midday in mid month but already taken it's been in confrontations between security forces and demonstrators at least $21.00 people have been killed in weeks of protests most of them on sunday speak scott who joins us now live from baton call consider 2 new charges for women. yes and women is that the president then he had deposed president and 2 more charges slapped against him this is something similar to what we saw with unsung suchi on monday she had a hearing and then we found out later in the day from her attorney that there are 2 more charges levied against her women 2 more charges as well and some very general charges one is that breach of constitution he didn't get really into the details of it turning didn't get into the details of what the court said as to why and how he breached the constitution but that is one of those 2 charges against and we know that they can those charges can carry up to 3 years in prison so obviously they're

very serious and again as you mentioned you know the charges are mounting up these politicians had were unseated just in the early morning hours of february 1st they've been in detention since and normally this is kind of the pattern we're seeing now they'll be video conference hearings and then after that we'll hear from the attorneys and kind of let us know what happened afterward but right now we don't really know what's moving for with on some suchi we do know that there's another hearing on march 15th from her additional charges but again it seems as though they just kind of keep stacking them up obviously to maintain they're doing situation report every day is that the protests continue. they do continue we're seeing it and these are kind of the main 3 cities that we're seeing the early protestors come out and that is the largest city mandalay the 2nd largest silly city and then that way down in the south they seem to be those who are really organized and really kind of get out on the streets early we've been

talking about this the last couple of days and it's continuing and that is the posture of those protesters has changed reacted is probably a better way to put it to the crackdown from the security forces well maybe just a week ago we're seeing these protesters come out in costume singing playing music that kind of thing that's different now they're out there with makeshift shields they're out there with how much they're out there with bricks to put on the street to prevent the security forces advancing on their positions they've come up with plans to go down side street so it's a completely different atmosphere now with these protesters who are now on the streets and obviously it's a reaction to this crackdown that we saw the really start in earnest on sunday that was the bloodiest day of this protest movement so far 18 protesters were killed on that single day but that's not stopping them they're still coming out nic. thanks so much for time beings go to the reporting.

brazil has recalled its highs number of deaths from corona virus in a single day 1641 since the pandemic begun the rule told in the country is more than a quarter of a 1000000 senior health officials are not calling for nationwide. a group of 27 state health secretary say more needs to be done to combat the spread of the virus president you have both in our opposes further restrictions threatening to pull funding for any states that go into. some cow is a journalist based in brazil he says those fish debates over what's a top priority stopping the spread of rescuing the economy. it's a very bleak and scary time here in brazil where i am in sao paolo we had a record number of deaths in the state today and this is brazil's richest state one of the neighboring states outpost that the capital you know there are 220 people at least waiting for intensive care beds in these 5 have died in cuba over the weekend

and again that's one of brazil's richest states so what we're seeing here is absolute health catastrophe and that's exacerbated by the new variant that was 1st detected in my now seen january in the amazon states of amazonas to be more infectious and can even reinfect people that have it have already had cause it and then just and us a breakdown in communication in direct threats made by the president who's always been against knocked down there just you know just yesterday we saw in the capital brasilia we saw a comet association you know creating big crowds protesting outside of the local governance house to not close coma and that was with one intensive cab aid remaining free in the state so very tough times here in brazil across the country exacerbated by the political situation that vaccines and yeah it's

a very tough situation altogether u.s. president joe biden says he's confident he will reach his goal of delivering a 100000000 coded vaccine doses in his 1st 100 days in office he's also praised a collaboration between 2 pharmaceutical rivals the drug company merck will help make johnson and johnson single short coronavirus job after its own attempt to develop a vaccine failed johnson and johnson has also confirmed it will be tested on children in expanded trials but biden says with the increased production every american adult should be covered when we came into office. the prior administration had contract it for not nearly enough vaccine to cover adults in america we rectified that about 3 weeks ago we were able to say that we have enough vaccine supply for adults by the end of july and i'm pleased to announce today as a consequence of the stepped up process that i've ordered and just outlined this

country will have enough vaccine supply a safe again for every adult in america by the end of may a white house correspondent can help it has more. this will be championed as an example of corporate citizenship you're right these are 2 rival drug companies merck as well as johnson and johnson rarely do you see this type of partnership on such a large scale but there is a little bit of method to the madness and it has to do with the fact that they both need each other right now merck was an able tried and failed to put together its own vaccine johnson and johnson successful getting that f.d.a. approval as of last saturday but not having the production facilities available and so they were unable to meet the requirements under their government contract so this is why the by the administration stepped in to try and broker this partnership merck is one of the largest vaccine productions and companies in the world and so

they have the capacity so what we understand is there will be 2 different facilities in the united states dedicated to getting this johnson and johnson vaccine out one of the merck facilities will be actually producing the vaccine the other will be packaging it into the vials for the new u.s. president has put sanctions on top russian officials for the poisoning of opposition need alexina valmy it's joe biden's 1st big move against vladimir putin's government since taking office nearly 6 weeks ago measures following similar sanctions imposed by the european union as my kind of now is the. boot as in the case of the e.u. the us sanctions are aimed at some very senior officials in the putin administration these include a federal service director victimise on the top of listening here to his president the russian prosecutor general eagle cross north and the head of the russian investigative committee alexander by streakin. the buy didn't ministration also

non-sentient sent to the us chemical and biological weapons control and warfare elimination act against at least 13 russian companies with the threat of more sanctions to follow there is an ongoing review there we reserve the right to take any additional actions at the conclusion of that review and just reiterating that the tone and the tenor and the type of relationship that this president intends to have with president putin will be quite different from the last administration earlier the russian foreign minister was dismissive of the imposition of sanctions . but it sure moves a little there isn't much to comment on and we have numerously expressed our position in regards to illegitimate unilateral sanctions that with or without reason actually mostly always with our reason are used by our colleagues from the united states and those who take an example from them the european union and the

view from the u.s. state department is that the coordinated action with the e.u. sends in itself a message to russia that things have changed together they sent an unambiguous signal that the united states is working closely with our closest allies and partners in europe to make clear that this kind of behavior is not acceptable we will not countenance it we will not tolerate it and there will be penalties going forward the previous u.s. president appeared eager to accept the words of his russian counterpart over those of the americans european allies as well these sanctions signaled that the president incumbent will not and that his administration is beginning to restore a more conventional approach to foreign policy plans. mike hanna al jazeera washington. so the head here in algeria.

the day donald trump supporters stormed the u.s. capitol the f.b.i. chief calls it an appalling act of domestic terrorism. and we look at the legacy of a decade of attacks on health care facilities rebel controlled areas of syria. how i once again dry weather fine weather across much of the middle east this place is a fair weather cloud just around kuwait pushing across into iran but we have got some showers moving in across the levant so lebanon syria will see some wet weather have some showers sissy's on the way into northern parts of jordan that what the weather will make its way across northern parts of iraq possibly some snow over the high ground but to the south of that it should be lost if i am dry over the next couple

of days a brisk wind that it doesn't stand there coming out of saudi arabia into southern parts of iraq over the next day or 2 so the south of that it is generally dry but want to see showers around the southern end of the red say this elaborate plot to produce a few showers in cease and for parts of ethiopia to the west the weather will be down towards the rift valley some heavy showers there in toronto into where burundi tanzania saying some heavy showers as well but the really wet weather is going to be around the mozambique channel we got a little circulation developing here that may well develop into something a little more ominous is because through the next day or so initially the wetter weather will be across the eastern side of mozambique but as a system but it gets its act together will see very heavy rain with the risk of flooding the western parts of madagascar. when freedom of the press is under threat demonstrators and journalists are dealing with internet police intimidation and charges of said dishes on the state line

becomes the default the media namely the images that lead to these guys and just how did it create a new sense makes it hard for people to know what's real and what's not step outside the mainstream to shift the focus covering the way the news this coverage the listening posts on a. org . there again you're watching al-jazeera for micro top stories this hour and me and managed to pose present when me is facing new charges they cleared breach of the constitution which is punishable by up to 3 years in prison he was among the

leaders detained during a military coup last month. brazil has recorded its highest number of deaths from corona virus in a single day 1641 fatalities were registered on choose day which goes past the previous record set in july. u.s. president joe biden says he's confident he will reach his goal of delivering 100000000 k.v. facts into this is his 1st 100 days in office he's also praised the drug company merck for helping rival johnson and johnson reduce its coronavirus jat. of 80 is open in pakistan senate elections members of the country's provincial and national assembly at least will to take part half the $104.00 sitting senators are reaching the end of their terms prime minister imran khan wanted the electors ballots to be made public to combat vote trading the supreme court rejected that move as it is for this further get the latest from who's in islam about it kemal this looks like a pretty close bit a contest why is it so important. well you

didn't get a better day for the last 24 pockets on a television channel i've been talking about nothing but good elections and it is crucial because the opera house is responsible for boxing legislation which is from the lower house did extremely crucial and now it is important to note that they focused on teddy can solve led by imran khan is going to be the largest party in the senate but he will need crucial support from a key ally even voted for the legislation so that sure that kind of problem is the government a face saying it really needs at least a majority and the senate and that is why it is such a contest read a political party that accusing each other of father played the opposition of god his fielding a united candidate dated up august on democratic alliance democrat as

a prime minister of pakistan know what sent home on contempt of court charges against him of course has the country's finance minister and day off god will be contesting for the fingers that there is up for grabs and pakistan's parliament of god then for the senate so ended in a premier important election but one that has always been mired where allegations of corruption then horse trading little to play for is going to be a secret ballot is necessary but all the government did want to an open one in one sense is a defeat for imran khan and victory for the opposition. right . move legislation. and all. that.

and. thanks very much for the commode is there on the senate elections a report from islamabad thank you. the u.s. ascension to military leaders of the rebels in yemen they're accused of getting weapons from iran and organizing attacks last month the state department removed the terrorist designation imposed on the who these by the trump of ministration it was reversed if is it could stop getting through yemen's humanitarian crisis well

aid organizations in yemen say their programs will be severely cut off from the u.n. appeal for money fell well short of his goal the target in a conference was $94000000000.00 but only about $1700000000.00 was raised units of conflict and. more than 2000000 children under 5 risk of acute malnutrition the u.n. says more money is urgently needed to stop the country tipping into a devastating famine. i think the 1st impact of yesterday's locating figure will literally be exponential increase in the risk of famine in the spread of diseases and as you are nations even internationally and you know was basically have to support the yemen and its worst moment in crisis when the page is made yesterday there is a few more months that have been gained and the prospects are a severe time should supplies is a minute

a day just to say syria's rebel controlled areas need urgent help to support their devastated health systems the warning coincides with the 10 year anniversary of the country's civil war in that time the syrian government and its allies have carried out widespread and deliberate attacks that have damaged or destroyed hospitals so hot as this. much from out there any hope. that hospitals have been repeatedly bombed in what has been described as a systematic campaign to force the opposition to surrender and. hundreds of air strikes by syrian government and russian warplanes have been documented throughout the years of conflict. many advocacy groups like physicians for human rights have tracked that least 595 air or artillery attacks on health care facilities in syria since 20112 years later they were described as war crimes by u.n. investigators who said the hospitals were being bombed to gain military advantage

but apart from condemnations little else was done and the rules of war continued to be ignored. by the russian and syrian government have denied targeting civilians or civilian buildings despite evidence to the contrary and international recognition of the widespread and sometimes deliberately of the attacks. we know now. we know that. a survey by the international rescue committee showed the risks health workers and civilians face in the past decade 81 percent said they had a coworker or patient injured or killed 77 percent witnessed an average of 4 attacks on health care facilities 68 percent were inside

a health facility when it was attacked a part of that because you know how to build myself in the fall 2 of the hospitals i was working in was hit i survived but the feeling is hard to describe we all felt vulnerable we all knew what the risks of being in the hospital it meant we could be killed with one of the heads a kind of a decade of attacks is also compromised the health care system and its ability to respond to the needs of millions of syrians in opposition controlled areas in the north and the effects of the coronavirus pandemic are an added pressure on an already weak system where there is one doctor for every 10000 civilians in the midst of the situation is not good there are millions of people that live in the countryside of aleppo and matter how much i need we get not enough we really suffer from a lack of medicines and medical equipment to treat chronic diseases as ceasefire appears to be largely holding but it hasn't eased the humanitarian crisis the violence has caused critical damage to syria's health sector affecting the ability

of millions to receive proper health care center for their beirut. the director of the f.b.i. has told us senators there is no evidence to support right wing claims that fake trump supporters took part in the siege of the capitol building on january the 6th christer a describe the attackers domestic terrorism and promise to hold the rights to account and fisher reports now from washington d.c. . here for this is the 1st time christopher ray has testified before a senate committee since the insurrection at the u.s. capitol 8 weeks ago i was appalled like you at the violence and destruction that we saw that there was appalled that you our country's elected leaders were victimized right here in these very halls that attack that siege was criminal behavior plain and simple as behavior that we the f.b.i. view is domestic terrorism. some republican senators have claimed among those who

stormed the capitol and to trump a duty to speak supporters bent on causing trouble and idea dismissed under questioning by directory based on your investigation so far do you have any evidence that the capitol of terror was organized by quote fake trump protesters we have not seen evidence of that at this stage certainly christopher ray has been director of the f.b.i. since 2017 he was a donald trump appointee after he fired james komi he says in his time in office he's seen a tripling in the number of cases involving white supremacy that has been the most deadly area of attacks domestically in the past 10 years he also says there's been a dramatic increase in the number of arrests of people who self identify as anarchists. the big question for rape was the january 6th attack an intelligence failure by the f.b.i. he pointed to a report sent by a local field office on january the 5th it was as you noted raw and

verified uncorroborated information that had been posted online and my understanding was that that information was quickly as in within an hour. disseminated and communicated with our partners including the u.s. capitol police including metro p.d. not one not 2 but 3 different ways. directory says an internal investigation is underway to see if the f.b.i. could have done more should have been more proactive in protecting lawmakers from threats that were being widely circulated before the attack alan fischer al jazeera on capitol hill the u.s. secretary of state has spoken with venezuela's opposition leader calling for in his words a return to democracy in a phone call with one quarter and a new plan can stress the importance of free and fair elections washington recognizes quite as venezuela's legitimate leader after disputed elections that saw

presently there are returned to power in 2080. a state of siege could be declared by chile's government in the region whom to the indigenous mapuche a people president sebastian pinera is seeking approval for tougher antiterrorist legislation to cover the central southern area called. he says it's to help deal with groups carrying out attacks a lot of america to see and you would as more. of. these images show some more than $800.00 police intelligence officers carrying out an unprecedented rate in south central chile in an area dominated by indigenous map which is. on this farm police searching for marijuana were attacked by unidentified gunmen. one of the officers was killed. although his death dominated national news it wasn't the only violence that took place that day these photos show police operatives using what human rights experts call illegitimate use of force and abuse against minors here

the target was the 7 year old daughter of my pooja activist comedic at the young guy he was killed 2 years ago by special forces police her mother and grandmother were also thrown face down to the ground and detained if the missed me dream in the film was for me this is not an exceptional or isolated case it's part of institutional violence practiced against the people in which children are also victims police intelligence director actually spinosa denies that the child was detained and insists the chilean police don't mistreat minors but all of the little oh i wonder what that was. but this recording of a map which a teenager reportedly being grabbed by police suggests otherwise you can hear the girl being told children killed if she doesn't shut up. the prosecutor is now investigating charges of alleged police abuse against minors on the day of the

massive raid but with the government now under strong pressure to declare a state of siege in the rest of region a lot of people are afraid that things will get worse in fact the army has already been given the go ahead to carry out roles in the area alongside special forces police. you know. the situation today's of uncertainty and fear for the safety of the children. honestly 1000000 says the violation of my putting children's human rights is an intergenerational problem in the media the children all yesterday experience violence from the state the parents of the children experiencing it today so the job of ripper ation and reconsideration is very complex. a sharp increase in attacks by an identified m to prove the claim to fight for the future land rights has taken the conflict in southern chile to a new level. and with no solution in sight

a new generation of my put your children is growing up with violence fear and anger you see in human al-jazeera santiago. 6 books by the popular children's author and illustrator told to use will no longer be published because they contain racist stereotypes that it uses the state said the books portray people in ways that are hurtful and wrong it made the decision after months of consultation with teaches another experts there was a rush to buy the books off the announcement the titles rocketing up the amazon bestseller list they were very very thoughtful about the way they did at this and i think they recognize that you know these 6 books really don't fit with the way we think today about to picton people and so i appreciate their decision and i think that they've done it in a way that still recognizes the vast works that dr seuss has provided to many of us

if they would update the book if they maybe have an updated curriculum guy that goes along with it and use it once again as a teaching tool what better opportunity we can that shows your our kids from what was again we can influence them on what will be. so this is out there these are the top stories and memos deposed president is facing new charges women is accused of breaching the constitution and violating coronavirus protocols he was arrested along with civilian leader and sons hoochie and other elected politicians during a military coup the last month scott hardly has more now from bangkok to more charges slapped against him this is something similar to what we saw with unsung suchi on monday she had a hearing and then we found out later in.
