defense will say, well, yes, that is how democracy works. it's how the russian constitution works. if you want to change the regime, then you can argue for it and vote and elections. nevertheless, the court has rejected all the defense motions, home box for them to have the case dismissed. it's listened to the merits, the prosecution case and is adjourned itself until a little bit later on this afternoon when a ruling is expected. and so what will happen if the court agrees with the prosecution? what implications for lex and me, any supporters? well, alexi navarro and he's actually just gone back to prison a few days ago after being in prison hospital for almost 2 months recovering from the consequences of a hunger strike. he started to the end of march. now the valley and anyone who supports him or his organization, there is a risk of up to 10 years in jail if you found guilty of being

the allegations, a part of an intensifying crackdown on descent and efforts by president daniel ortega to eliminate any challenges for his office. man, daggers lawyer says, the opposition politician has been beaten and custody would be a strong blow with a fist in the face then another blow to blows, and margie august face and is rather start there. the acts of aggression carried out by the police when they were taking us out of the vehicles. but at the aga is the 4th potential presidential candidate to be detained in recent days. on tuesday, police also arrested one sebastian tomato. and when february accused police of using surveillance to intimidate him last week, his cousin christiana tomato, was put under house arrest, just hours after she announced plans to run against the president of november's election. the sparked protest outside her home. last month, her brothers, independent news out late was rated by police. another candidate,

arturo cruise was detained on saturday for allegedly conspiring against nicaraguan society, the detention of being called a clear infringement of the freedom of expression. and i'll be there by all of this is a desperate attempt by the dictatorship is to make us give up the electoral road to peacefully resolve this deep economic and social crisis that they themselves have provoked. the tomorrow families deeply entwined, and daniel will take his political career, christiane, his mother, the later became president in 1990 ousting ortega after his 1st dent and power since his return to office in 2007 rights groups have accused president ortega, of authoritarian rule and leading to brutal suppression of anti government protests in 2018, which more than 300 people were killed. ortega and allies say they're defending nicaragua, sovereignty against hostile foreign influence and sanctions. now, protests, a band and most opposition parties disqualified ortega and his wife,

who to vice president had been sanctioned by the u. s. and the european union. the top us diplomat on latin america, julia chung, has called the international action. and the latest arrests, a further proof of ortega's disregard for democracy. alex here brian al jazeera the u. s. congress says federal government had credible capes of an attack on the capital building in january, but didn't do anything. investigators say that 4 weeks police had intelligence that supporters of been president. donald trump were planning to stop the certification of jo biden's election. when was in jordan reports, we usually work a couple of hours during the trial. the pollings calls for back up unanswered, angry crowds, breaking in unimpeded. a bi partisan congressional report calls the response to the january 6th attack on the us capital,

a failure of intelligence preparation and imagination. a failure. it says lead to the death of 7 people, including 3 police officers. the intelligence was out there. and we know that now, in fact, at the time, many of us knew that you all reporting that there was, you know, online chatter about violence. connected with that gathering. so to me it was just amazing that that intelligence didn't get in the right hands. here. the report says, because no one shared the intelligence capital, police and national guard units weren't equipped and ready to head off any violent protest. we will never give up, we will never can see. and once the crowds left a rally at the white house where the capital, the report says the breach and the violence were inevitable. but this report does not analyze why the protest happened at all, which is why most senator say they want an independent $911.00 style commission. there are a lot of other questions that need to be asked in terms of why the district or what

motivated folks to descend on the capital to engage in what was an insurrection. those are questions that need to be asked and answered on a commission would be able take a more full some a look at that. the chances of that happening are diminishing mainly because of partisan in fighting. democrats accuse republicans of trying to protect a former president, donald trump, and his administration. while republican say democrats are blowing politics of their own. one of my big problems with the january 6 commission that was outlined the, the members, the commissioners, and the staff is going to be appointed by congressional leadership. so, so again, how, how do you get to the bottom of tension, what congressional leadership noon when they didn't know the report calls for more intelligence sharing and more training exercises and improved oversight. but it can't address the bigger issue. why did people who call themselves patriot tried to overthrow their governments on january 6th, rosalyn jordan elders, era,

washington albini, his father meant is holding an extraordinary session that could end with the impeachment of president l. your meta, it follows an investigation that concluded he should be voted out for violating the constitution. the president's role is considered a political matter has regularly clashed with prime minister eddie rama. john fabulous has more from tirana, the capital of the ruling socialist party accuses president master of abandoning his obligation to political neutrality. and in the party system, he apparently came out in favor of democrats when he told albanians to protect the vote and told them that it's a single vote has touched on election day shop and you'll pitchforks. these were bob's aims in the room and socialists who were running the election, who were the incumbents in the election. and it is no secret here that president

and prime minister rama and now they've had political enemies. this is an enmity that goes back at least to the local elections of 2019 on women to men disagreed on the timing. that's because the elections had been, had been abandoned, had been boycotted by the opposition democrats and protest against the government. they then regretted that decision, when they decided to comes back into the election field and can bring candidates forward. there wasn't enough time. president master said, let's postpone them until september the prime minister roman system. i'm holding them in june with only socialist party candidates, and of course he took the countries municipalities. but ever since then, press private us to run his accused president matter of having formed and alliance with the opposition democrats. the united nation is pressing a target to read the world of h. i. v and aids by 2030. it wants to prioritize treatments to 95 percent of people

affected. 165 nations voted in favor just for against the head of the un aides pro agency wants governments to recognize what needs to be done to address the problem . the, if you do, under knowledge is clear inequalities in power, while in status in rights and voice, driving the h, i. v, pandemic inequalities kill as a global. a strategy sits out to end aid. we have to end the inequalities, which perpetuate while in the philippines, a try v response efforts have been hit by the covered 1900. pandemic figures. show a decrease in a trying to be testing and a decline in the number of people signing up for treatment. the philippines has a late is going to be happy to make in asia and the pacific. shannon hater is the

deputy executive director of un aids. she says the targets fit on tangible despite arise in infections in some parts of the world. now it's true that we have not met as a globe our 2020 goals. that we have seen countries who have met and surpassed their 2020 goals. busy based on that, so we know it's possible, it's really inequality some countries and some populations that are being left behind. so we are setting really bold, 2025 goals that will help us both catch up from what we've lost during covert and also close these inequality. so everybody who needs services needs help with prevention, can get what they need to stay healthy. you know, one reason that there are disparities and inequality isn't h, i be response can be services aren't there, aren't being provided in ways that are useful and accessible to the people who need the most. but other reasons can really be because the legal framework,

the violence, the gender inequality, are such that they're societal barriers to people who are most affected. also accessing services and being able to be empowered to take the measures to prevent h id me the e u has endorsed a coven 19 vaccine certificate for travel within the european block. it comes as trans open to borders to foreign tourists as long as they've had a job. the government has remove the the need for over 1900 tests for vaccinated europeans and greenland countries. other visitors need to provide a negative test. it's hope the new rules will how post tourism was. that will mean it sounds we see this as a renee suddenly after a year and a half when we've practically been in a coma, this announced reopening is an extraordinary ray of sunshine. what's an extraordinary is that we've moved from an excessive pessimism to an optimism that

could also be a bits. excessive famine counter is the travel editor of the independent. he says, european countries are competing for taurus, very countries believe that it's exactly the night moment, as the vaccines are being rolled out across europe, yet most people would like. they are desperate and you have a competition or right now with me, they get your destination in the world with it and they go for you carry, which normally i'm in the house of love and just outside the fridge and they will be in the middle east. asia for america, i'm 0 thing, the energy the me get that huge concerns about the business is on to 2020 assuming

that the world is much calm about that should be the ever be a lot of people have dreams that have the money they got, but they would like to use that some of that in the creek. and that's why the european countries, while they kind of think the key for current of unified e to travel directory all trying to get me in operation on the search bar to be particularly nice. very concerned about the dealt with the very, very prevalent now in the u. k. australia 2nd largest city will end it later is covered 19 logged on on friday. people in melbourne will have spent 2 weeks inside . some restrictions on travel and home gatherings will likely remain for another week. almost 70 percent of people were infective. after returning travelers caught

the virus in quarantine. abandon makes put a lot of pressure on frontline staff, and an engineering firm in hong kong says it has plan a plan rather to ease the burden. it's designed to human like robots called grace, who have a terminal camera on her chest to take temperatures. she uses artificial intelligence to diagnose a patient and can speak english, mandarin, and cantonese. a company founder says she can interact with people who've been isolated because of covered 1900. i can visit with people and brighten their day with social stimulation. entertainment, help guide exercise, but also can do talk therapy paid by our readings and help health care providers assess their health and deliver treatments. so he designed grace to look professional and health care setting. so that would mean that she would resemble the sort of human like appearance of health care stuff. and so then this would

facilitate more natural interaction. a human like a parents facilitate trice and facilitate natural engagement because we're wired for a human face to face interaction. that's just the way human beings are. and so giving her a face that would be familiar to people, comforting people, and also language abilities that are comforting. ah, now again, i'm fully back to go with the headlines on al jazeera, the united nations is warning of a major loss of life in eastern myanmar. if no immediate action is taken. it's accusing security forces of indiscriminate as strikes against civilians. armed groups have been resisting the military june, ty, that's cracked down on defend fin, seizing power in february. now we're getting a torch. there have little to no water.
