valley has appeared in court for the 1st time since and to get 3 week hunger strike the kremlin critic attended a hearing by video link to appeal against his conviction in february for defaming a world war 2 veteran in a separate call case proceedings on whether to label the valleys opposition network extremists have been adjourned it's a move that could ban the group and lead to activists facing long prison sentences well ahead of the court hearing one of the valleys top associates announced that most of the organizations regional offices will be closed he said the extremism charges make it impossible for them to keep running the network of the young men are still some regional offices aren't ready for it and will be closed but most of them will continue work as autonomy independent regional social political movements led by strong leaders we can't finance them anymore we can't help them with design or with ip decisions and we will not set their objectives but we know that they will handle it on their own. but that smith was at the hearing in moscow. so

prosecutors want to ban on these anti corruption organization they want the court to this declared an extremist organization that and these regional political groups as well this would put these anti corruption organization on the same level. meaning people who financed his group or supporters of the group could face very very lengthy jail sentences and very very heavy prison terms essentially the court has already issued an interim injunction earlier on this week banning his organization from operating pending its final ruling the court has now adjourned the hearing for a few weeks novell these lawyers say they need more time to examine some 14 large files that the prosecution gave them only a couple of days ago so the court has given them more time to examine those files before it comes back in session again but essentially these regional political

groups already closed down by the prosecutor's office so they stop operating these anti corruption organization suspended until the court makes its final ruling so really cracking down on all of these activities. he told his electorate in european history specializing in russian queen's university in belfast he expects russia to officially ban develop these activists network. i think they will continue with a what they started and will officially bennet's to make sure that they do not recreate it in any other shape or form there's also been reports from his supporters from a lead vocal that's a new personal case against the violin and to his close associate volkov and dunn of being in being made which might see them giving the real sentences just the 3 of them so it looks like that there is also possibility that no one needs

a prison sentence will be extended beyond the 2 and a half years he's serving now i think there's a very kind of clear consistent and he would ing strategy by the kremlin to a ban to completely eliminate any kind of money presence in the regions in russia put him to jail with necessary and get started just because close associates or they don't even think of of returning to russia. i think so far it's been working quite well i have been listening to him and i need vocals statement of closing down the original network and i still couldn't see exactly what they could do beyond it he says there is a group of people who already have a mature enough to operate on their own but if the authorities have to mind it's a steward to stop them at the rating even if they're not formally associated with the vitally they will so i think they're really in big trouble no one is

a strategy and i think it's really again calls into question what was their strategy when he came back i think they did not expect such a widespread and consistent crackdown as they are experiencing now. well still ahead here on al jazeera desperate journeys searching for a home we follow the plans of refugees living on the greek island of les paul's. hello those rains that have been plaguing areas of japan are now starting to slide off to the pacific but we've got another bout of moisture coming so let me break down those details 1st for that 1st system is out toward the pacific but still some heavy rains for northern areas of japan in the forecast on friday so let me take you to saturday now we see this disturbance in the sea of japan it's going to fling

is turning peril into possibility after the devastation of the current virus pandemic he's promising trillions of dollars in investment in jobs infrastructure and education 100 days since i took the oath of office and left in my hand off our family bible and heritage relation we all did it was in crisis the worst pandemic of the century the worst economic crisis since the great depression the worst attack on our democracy since the civil war now after just 100 days i can report to the nation america is the move again. well it's now 100 days since joe biden took office as president of the united states he promised to build back better after the devastation of the pandemic and the economic hardship that followed our white house correspondent kimberly healthcare takes a look at those promises and the progress he's made in making them

a reality. he took office during a global pandemic and made battling covert 19 his top priority promising 100000000 vaccines would be administered by april we met their goal last week by day 5842 days ahead of schedule. now the damn city is 2nd goal and that is we will by my 100 day in office have administered 200000000 shots of people's arms that goal was exceeded this week now more than 230000000 vaccines have been given out with more than half of all americans receiving at least one dose what we're seeing is a president who continues to be disciplined continues to stay on message and also a president who continues to focus on the issues and i think that's what many americans white to hear from their politicians but i don't promise to ease economic

pain from the pandemic as well delivering on a campaign promise to get direct payments to millions of people who are out of work and not only addresses the immediate crisis room it's better for the long term economic health of our nation and our competitiveness by the end of march millions of americans had received at least $1400.00 or more to help pay expenses like rent and food. in his 1st $100.00 days biden also kept another campaign pledge rejoining the paris agreement on climate change that limits greenhouse gas emissions his predecessor donald trump had pulled the us out by to rejoin the u.s. on day one of the bridge. to voters of color biden also delivered on addressing systemic racism in policing after the conviction of derek show ven the police officer who murdered george floyd biden's justice department announced a federal investigation into the minneapolis police department or showed it was. at

will biden did follow through on his pledge to raise the minimum wage to $15.00 an hour for federal contractors his plan to push for a federal minimum wage for everyone has faltered. his next call. to fix america's infrastructure and create jobs could be one of his most ambitious tasks that of this 1st 100 days can be characterized by terms such as bowl dairy. and adventurous biden repeatedly promises to meet the moment building back better from the covert crisis channeling a spirit not seen since president roosevelt's new deal in the 1930 s. building schools roads and parks and lifting millions of americans wages and quality of life following the great depression in that spirit president biden has already expanded america's social safety net and he's promising more bidons betting

that americans are looking for solutions to problems like race and income inequality that he believes only government can deliver can really help at al-jazeera washington. last year on the campaign trail made many promises about what he would deliver in his early days in the white house well he's delivered on some others which i compromised all have been abandoned all official reports on biden's broken promises. the other things people remember of campaigns i pledge to be a president who seeks not to divide but unify the promises the pledges the things to make a difference 100 days in joe biden has failed to deliver in a few key issues i think he's kept his word as much as he change i think people forget that there's not a lot of legislating that can happen from the presidential seat covered relief was

always his top priority he promised $2000.00 checks to eligible americans that became $1400.00 under biden i ding to the $600.00 delivered by trump the death of journalist jamal khashoggi provoked anger in then candidate biden he promised to hold so dear be responsible. regard them as a pariah state fast forward to one month in office so to reveal was once again a valuable ally all presidents in these days talk about doing a whole list of priorities on day one but the idea that a president could accomplish the types of promises that they put forth on the trail on day one is rather naive and i would argue in some ways just part of the marketing of campaign the promise to immediately rejoin the iran nuclear deal is also gathering dust instead talks continue in vienna between all the parties

about the best way forward real politics instead of rhetoric joe biden also promised to be a unifying president pulling the country together after what he felt were the divisive trump years despite his early successes washington is divided as ever found now that truck is still here trump is and is very much the politics of the day on the republican side and i think it least on the democratic sat there is no way that they can see compromise with those kinds of elements there and so i think it's going to be a very difficult road if he's going to pursue bipartisanship at every step the good news for joe biden presidencies and judge surely on the 1st 100 days he gets the fool 4 years for the next election is never far away for biden it's the midterms next year it will be a referendum on the job he's done till then what he said he will deliver next and the promises he's kept alan fischer al-jazeera washington. more than
