released he in the last few months. it's a vital step in saving while t we, which were almost walked out across this region 2 decades ago. ah, this is al jazeera ah 1500 hours g m t here on al jazeera. hello. i'm come all santa maria. welcome to the news. i will allow no one to place a dagger to throat democracy on the one year anniversary of the capitol hill, right. you as president joe biden accuses donald trump of creating a web of lies to pursue power over principle. hopeful news, explosions and gunfire in catholic sands. largest city, as

a russian lead regional force is deployed at the request of the presidents, australia's deportation of tennis champion, no joke of which is delayed, as he fights the decision to revoke his visa or of a pandemic ropes. the master of the pen, we meet a man trying to keep iraq's calligraphy tradition alive in these changing times. it is a covered 19 vaccination basketball player carrying his back in action after being sidelined for 3 months. irving made a winning return for the brooklyn nets. ah, to name in the united states, that is where we are beginning this news, al, with so many a spending the day in sober reflection as the country marks one here since a mob of riot has breached the us capitol. both president joe biden and vice

president campbell harris have addressed the nation pushing the importance and resilience of democracy. the president did not meant his words. he directly blamed his predecessors, donald trump, for what amounted to the worst attack on the capital. since the war of 1812, former president, united states of america has created spread a web of lies by the 2020 election. he's done so because he values power over principle. because he sees his own interest is more important than his country's interest and america centers. and because his bruised ego matters more to ham than our democracy or our constitution, he can't accept. he lost. take hisself back a year in the events of january 6th, 2021 which shopped in horrified americans and people over the world. hundreds of people storming the capital seat of democracy. spurred on by donald trump's false

claims that he won the 2020 election. 5 people were killed. let's not forget that, including a police officer, hundreds have been arrested, and while the physical damage has been repaired, while the day remains, devices staining full. so many of the folk, of whence to day as they were a year ago, was separated by just 2 and a half kilometers along washington's pennsylvania avenue. at one end is the white house, where we find alan fisher. and here we'll have more on the political implications of january 6, but 1st to capitol hill, south might kana who was following that speech along with the rest of us, joe biden, president jim binding's, sounding as forceful and strong as possibly we've ever heard him. yes indeed. well that was a rare display, a times of anger from president biden, who at present is leaving the hill having delivered his speech on the stay of commemoration, along with his vice president comalla harris. but i biden not mentioning donald trump by name, referring to him throughout as the former president. certainly blistering in terms

of his criticism. and you could hear the naked anger in president biden's voice, for instance, when he referred to the president of the time sitting in a room near the oval office. a while there was an insurrection under way, and the capital, an absolute fury in president biden's voice. when he referred to that, as well as when he spoke about a former president who puts power over a principle. but president biden also attempting to create a wider context out of what happened a year ago. and that is looking at what has happened since then in terms of voting rights throughout this country. the president mentioning very specifically the fact that in several republican areas, there are attempts to limit the boat to restrict postal votes to jerry mander, to reduce the amount of democratic support in particular areas. so this very much

on president biden's mind in terms of linking a voting rights to the attack on democracy that happened a year ago. very briefly to a mention of the vice president speech. also very, very strong. and commonly harris spoke about the events of january, the 6th reflecting the fragility and the strength of democracy. the fragility when demonstrators entered this building, the strength when senators got together after the events and verify the results of that election. so very strong words from both the vice president and of course the president joe biden, in amongst all of that, mike, were there any attempts to unite? i mean there's always, there is, are a united states, god bless our country. god bless our troops. but trying to reach out to maybe the more moderate parts of the republican party and of the supporters. well, there was very little in that we heard president biden and camilla harris speak about the promise of democracy about it being the duty of all americans to work

towards fulfilling that promise. but there was no hand across the aisle as it were from i, the vice president or president, to attempt to bring people into the fold or to prevent them at least, to dropped the sense of naked hostility. that being said, though, there is, for example, a republican on the committee investigating generally the 6 events. let's cheney, she is certainly an isolated republican. and she was dropped from all her leadership roles because she was one of the 10 who voted to impeach president trump following the events on january the 6th. so there is an element that the republican party is not necessarily to lea a united on the issue though, the vast majority according to polls indicate that the vast majority of republicans back former president trump, in terms of his false claims about election fraud. and they backing in his attempts to whitewash the events of generally the 6th, that's what president biden, and commonly harris attempted to undercut to move away on this particular day as

a nation remembers exactly what happens. and as president biden says, the truth of what happened on that day? mike hannah is on capitol hill for us on the news. our thank you, mike. let's head down the road to the white house. alan fisher on the north lawn there. allan so much focus on donald trump. there will be those who question that and say he is the former president. why summit folks the factors he is all i went that say but certain, but he's very likely to be the next republican presidential candidate as well. he is the past and the future. interestingly enough, the joe biden referred to him as not just the former president, but the defeated former president from his estate in merrill argo, in florida, where he was due to all the news conference in the next few hours. but that was cancelled a couple of days ago because many a near death, the republican say thought one, it would look bad and to he might not get the audience that he was hoping for. he

has just in the last few minutes issued a statement. let me give you the top part of it, where he says, i begun who is destroying our nation with insane policies of open borders, corrupt elections, disastrous energy policies unclenched unconstitutional mandates. and devastating school closures use my name to day to try to father divide america. this political theaters all just a distraction for the fact biden has totally and completely field. just one very small point. of course, he never actually used donald trump's name, not at any point. he mentioned the former president on several occasions, but never ever talked about trump directly. we were told that the people, the audience would be a no doubt who was referring to a thing that is absolutely clear. this was not, as we've pointed out, a speech to bring at republicans into the fall. this was joe biden, the seeing america's democracy is under threat and perhaps appealing to the patriotism of some of those republican saying, look,

if you really care for your country, it's time to, to move on from what happened a year ago. but there are many people on the democratic side that have been speaking to via email and twitter over the last 40 minutes saying why did joe biden not make this speech this time last year? and it could perhaps have done a great deal to kill. what does donald trump was seeing? and so he couldn't spend a year fueling up at his side to see a luke, there was a big steel. we lost the election. it was stolen from us. and it will perhaps have ebbed away some of the support because remember, they're still significant number of americans who believe there was a problem with the 2020 presidential election, even though there has never been any proof of any significant fraud of any kind. yeah, good point, allen, just quite clay. mike made the point about the january 6th inquiry. can you give us a little pricey of where we are with that now?

because that is specifically about justice for that day in for it. let's not forget the people who died and of course, many republican c. it's very much a partisan effort to try and stain republicans, but to stain donald trump specifically, it continues to gather evidence. it of course, has issued subpoenas to senior people like mart meadows, who ignored it. and his no been charged with contempt of congress. and certainly phoned and contempt of congress. is that up to the justice department, whether or not they will pursue action against him in the same way that they are pursuing action against steve bannon, who was one of a donald trump's advisors who refused to acknowledge this subpoena. the call for information from media personalities who helped advise a donald trump. they are considering the possibility we are told of some sort of criminal action against donald trump for fueling up the more it was that just a couple of hours from now exactly one year ago. and donald trump walked out of the

of office 200 meters from when i'm standing. moved on to the ellipse on the south side of the white house and addressed the crowd that had gathered, remember we saw the tick tock, video of dawn junior, his son, seeing her fired up the crowd where we had the people there. like louis gama is the republican congressman from texas, a seeing that it was time to take the country back, we had rudy giuliani close advice of donald trump saying it was time for trial by combat. and then donald trump stood back and watched as the crowd moved towards capitol hill. so the 6th of january committee still has got a lot of work to do a lot of ground to cover as the republicans will see. it's nonsense at the end, but it's still seen by many on capitol hill as an important movement. strongly de wasn't at alan fisher. they're part of our reporting team in washington today. thank you. and mike hannah, before him, patty calhane as well. she was there at capitol hill a year ago as all of this happened and she has sent us this report. looking back at

the day, never before had a u. s. president refused to admit defeat. never before had a president alleged the election was stolen, contract want to talk to david, but on january 6th, as congress was getting ready to officially declare joe biden, the winner trump call to supporters to washington. we're going to the capital. we're going to try and give them the kind of broad and baldness that they need to take back our country. 20 minutes later, they followed his instructions and started moving and mass, just as to why bob's were found near the capital. with each passing moment the crowd outside got closer and the police were pushed back the scaffolding set up for the upcoming inauguration scale. windows broken officers set upon by an angry and violent mob clubbed, sprayed with chemicals,

punched and kicked. the crowd overwhelmed the police. what we didn't know then was how close they came to their targets. seconds from seen, the vice president rushed into an office for safety. then senate minority leader, chuck schumer and his security detail running realize in the mob was yards away. senator mitt romney told to turn and run. oh, we now know this was a pivotal moment. the crowd lured away by police officer eugene goodman. if they had turned right instead of following him, they would have found senators in the chamber behind an unlocked door. and we now know how close they came to members of the house. everything clean through the last available exit. they breached the door though and a single shot rang out. it was ashley babbitt killed by police as she attempted to get through the door. in all 5 people would die, including capital police officer brian sick. nick, he had

a stroke after being attacked with bare spray. in the following days, 4 officers would commit suicide. ah, in all 140 officers were injured, trump eventually appeared on camera and appealed to the riders to leave. so go home, we love you. ours, after it began, the building was cleared and the vote was certified. joseph r. biden. junior of the state of delaware has received 306 vote. donald j trump with the state of florida. as received 232 vote. still, the house would vote to impeach him for a 2nd time for his actions, and the senate once again fell to convict. and soon he and his supporters began to deny the reality of what this was calling it a peaceful protest. not in attempted insurrection. the courts have not agreed so far more than 700 people have been arrested. the longest sentence more than 5 years in prison. the person who planted the pipe bobs has still not been identified. a

congressional committee is investigating how this happened. was it planned? who was involved and should criminal charges be filed, but those questions will take time to answer. and if republicans win control of the house in 2022, they have promised to shut down the investigation ah, a year on this day cost lives for others, their freedom. but getting to the truth will largely be determined by whether or not it cost trump his political power. political heene al jazeera washington. let's bring all of this together now with us from washington d. c, john brennan. here's the co founder of the online political psych punchbowl news incidentally punch bowl out. the secret service is code name for the u. s. capital . john, thank you for your time. ah, there is so much politics involved in today and we'll get on to that in a moment. i feel we should actually address the fact. first of all that 5 people

died. many were injured democracy was attacked and that this is and should be a very somber day for america. absolutely, this was a horrific day. i was in the capital that day. i been a capital hill reporter for decades. this was a traumatic event for america, for those watching for, for those inside the capital. this was just as stunning day. i was in the rotunda of the capital when they were trying to break in the protesters were trying to break in. and i saw us capitol police officers running around with machine guns. they were thinking of opening fire on that crowd. i mean, this was, this was a pivotal, pivotal moment in american democracy. and we were still still dealing with the fallout from what happened that day. and joe biden has addressed that in his very, very powerful speech which we heard today. he seemed tool cited in a lot of time addressing the i'll use this word delusion the delusion of,

of paper like president trump, of some republicans off the support as they believe the election was stolen. and i believe that what happened on january 6th, that there was nothing wrong with what happened, but actually it was the right thing to do at how strong is that movement now still, one years later, when you later i listen, this is about power. this is about trump exercising power over the republican party at the state. local and national level of this is, you know, there is it, all the polling shows. it has changed dramatically over the last year. it's gone from, you know, republican democrats and independents. all, you know, were vilified, all were condemned. what happened now? you know, a majority of republicans don't believe that trump, it was, but did anything wrong or was at fault for the attack, which is, of course, not true. trump fermented the insurrection. he held an event on the ellipse just

down the road from the capital. he, he brought this together, he made this happen. so the idea that trump is, and you know, the one behind this is not true. and in the last year, the, the republican party, this has become, you know, that the, them the mean demand for the party that the election was stolen. and that, you know, the democrats in the media are now playing up january 6 as, as a way to exercise power when it's in fact the other way around. so this is a very serious, this is ongoing, this crisis of democracy is ongoing for the united states. don't you think president biden did the right thing in going so strongly after donald trump did? i didn't use his name is alan fisher pointed out earlier, but went so hot against him. there are those who will say, will trump this loves that? that's fuel to the fire. you know there's, there's both, you can make both sides and his argument is that it's a good point. now, of course, he did not say a fine or he did not say trumps name. but for instance, vice president,

common errors was in the capital that day. she was still a senator, she still serving us senator and she had to lock herself in her office. you know, she, they would have, you know, they of those riders and had gotten hold of harris there's god knows what they would have done. i do think it's important for biden, to take an aggressive approach, a confronting that head on. and i, you know, republicans may not like at their, their, their, those loyalists of trump may not like it. but i do think it important for the president to do that. he is that the reason why that event happened was they were trying to block the transfer power from trump to buy for buying, to call us out as important. again, you noted he didn't mention his name and you know, i don't think trump would have done that. trump would, of course, done the opposite. so, you know, i do think biden has a kind of an old school way of approaching this, where trump is getting in your face and he's always fighting. so i think the democrats are going to have to, you know,

be more aggressive to say that the republicans have to reject this philosophy. that political violence, of any short is, is acceptable now. and on that same hand, you know, the republicans will say, we'll look at the b l m. riots from 2020. that was not acceptable. and you know, there's a lot of americans that agree with that. and the political violence of any side from either party is unacceptable. i think buying has to lead the way on that. john, president from punchbowl news, a pleasure talking to you. thank you for your time on this day. 20 minutes past this news out here is what is coming from getting closer to making it much harder for the unvaccinated to go into public. venues will also speak to a leading scientist, part of a mission, to what has been called the doomsday glass. yeah, and your sports uses? well, chelsea takes a big step towards a place in the final of the english league cup, and he will be here with that at about 10 to the hour. ah,

2 cows, it's down now where protests over fuel prices of escalated into an uprising against the government. and it is threatening regional stability as gunfire in the larger city. alma t. the focal point on wednesday demonstrate is set government buildings on fire. dozens of protesters and police officers even have been killed. regional players are stepping in, trying to contain the violence. there was a russian lead military alliance, which has been deployed a will. it is deploying troops at the president's request. the ego is wanting moscow, respect conflicts on sovereignty. and it has called for talks called an early zach to the view last. we are deeply sorry for the loss of life in kazakhstan. the violence must be stopped. we are also calling for restraint from all parties and a peaceful resolution of the situation. now obviously, the e is ready and willing to support dialogue in the country. oh, russia says this worst violence and decades is quite inspired from outside. cuz the

town has long been one of the most stable of the ex soviet republics of central asia. we've got room for a steel walker monitoring developments from tbilisi in georgia. hi robin. the pictures look quite dramatic. take us through the details of what was happening with his violence came out. i think the biggest caveat to bear in mind is that the internet is still more or less down in kazakhstan and i've not been able to reach people on the ground that for most of today. but we can say with some confidence that these protests are not going away. they are happening nationwide. this is a vast country, the size of europe, when they're happening in cities across the country. but yes, the, the center of the violence is happening in marty. that's the form of capital and the largest cultural and commercial center of the country. and just in the

last couple of hours, i have been seeing some tweets from journalist colleagues who report that we are still hearing gun fire in the center of our t as security forces attempt to re take control of the administrative building. the mess offices in downtown l. matty heavy gunfire and we have seen more fields with bodies on social media uploads and the security services saying that they have lost personnel. 13 was the latest counts and with more than $300.00 wounded. well, we 70 unfortunately, expect that the death toll to be significant amongst the civilian population. protesters as he said to be i agree about fuel hikes, but have very legitimate grievances. but the government even cause extern describing them as looters and terrorists. that's what foster walker keeping us

across developments and catholics, and he is in tbilisi in georgia. thank you robin. we're going to take a closer look as well. it has, expands geo political significance, put it on the map of sandwich between 2 regional giants, russia and china. moscow views, it is an important part of its security to the south by ging, if capitalizing on cars extends transit routes, which help it open up to the west. it also matters though to the united states with significant energy investments in the western region where the unrest began this month with us now from here in ukraine. monsoon middle value of who as a journalist, has been covering post soviet countries since 2005. thank you for your time. this has escalated it extremely quickly from process about fuel prices to what we see now. does that suggest that people have been unhappy with this government for a long time? what we see happening tomorrow are disorganized. they are

completely leader and they are very spontaneous. these are only on january the 2nd and they arm they move. they consist of young men with blue collar jobs. and the main chem of the protests is an old man. go and be referred to as the 1st president who are nominally stepped down and then my chief, but still retained a lot our head of the social security council. so there cham also addresses all ah, so be a born leads that does not allow our younger people to have careers. that's faithful economic development than the country. and that's pretty much make that concrete made the concrete residents a lot for them,

the order we just brought by the way. okay, so that shows us very clearly how we've got to this, this flash point. i'm wondering about what happens next, because there is this russian lead force that has been requested to come in to try to calm things down. i wonder if that might be actually something which could make things worse. it could fire at the protest of even more this will definitely make things a lot more. russian have already touched the ground they landed than just on the boat. our goal and russia may become one of the biggest, bigger in the conference because the current president, cassandra, is more likely to embrace russia as elder brother if we speak. we use the soviet here at the terminal. and the thing is that the kremlin has

specifically this and this itself from the, from the deployment of troops, because the announcement was made by the president for me. and then that was the privilege of talking about the diploma. but we can have the most, anything above the diploma. but we all know that when you arrive in the country, as we know who grania and in what ukraine is, more likely to leave various one. and the, the big question is, what is the price? because the president is going to p or ref, tell you how to ignore that, isn't it? thank you so much for your time today. man. sort of made a valid he is and yes, plenty more news ahead for you. china says an outbreak of corona virus in one of its biggest cities has now been brought under control. plus in sports,

one of basketballs most devices player makes his comeback. we'll find out how he got on little bit later in the south. ah. hello there. the weather is quieting down though i see now across the middle east on please to say after i ra, the active weather actor. every chatter rain now pushing across pakistan towards north west of india could cause flooding here over the next few days. but for many across the middle east into the levant, english and re look and try and settle over the next couple days in the wind slowly but surely started to east down temperatures here in the ha, around 23 degrees celsius for friday. afternoon, a similar temperature guaranteed, sadly, perhaps a tag cooler, as the winds fall light, it should fill pleasant enough. having said that, and as you can see, it is largely dry across the region. what

a 2 showers they're just into. whether you decided mediterranean, chiefly across turkey, for ne, in parts of africa is generally settle is over to water, north west, where we do have some right in the forecast over the next day or so. northern algeria could see some showers janasia perhaps will in areas of libya, just noticed some wet weather just coming out to chat, just easing across towards northern parts of a sudan over the next hour. so much north africa, dry and settled as it should be. now with central africa, well conditions that they should be here as well. big showers coming in across the heart of africa, sliding out of angola and big down pools there into zambia, zimbabwe looking pretty wet for a time. the south africa, the running is one of the most accessible sports in the world else's era correspondent tandy richardson takes us on his personal journey of discovery. when you find yourself out in the middle of nowhere,

and the run is hurting. why should not just stop exploring the growing popularity and science? he pushes the limit from kenya to the antarctic. in search of answers to why we run . elgin 0 correspondence news . ah, ah ah ah ah

ah, you're on the news out here at the euro and these are our top story, us president joe biden and vice president, canada harris have issued warnings about the fragility of american democracy and how it must be protected. they were speaking on the one year anniversary of the attack on capitol hill and a russian lead military alliance with deployed troops to catholic san to quell violent upfront unrest. there dozens of protesters and officers have been killed in demonstrations that began over in lot of corona virus needs to get through will start with france, with a lower house of parliament has approved tougher cove in 1900 measures after 3 days of an often intense debate the bill would make full vaccination mandatory for people to, for example, attend public events or travel on in

a city train. natasha butler with more now from paris. it's not a surprise because the government has a majority in the lower house of parliament. the build that now goes to the senate and it may go back to the parliament before probably coming into law in the middle of january. what it means for people is that the unvaccinated population will no longer have access to things like restaurants, cafe, leisure facilities, everyday life for them will certainly become a lot harder now. the bill i was finally approved by the parliament there has to be said of the 3 incredibly in days of debate in the parliament, often chaotic thing, overshadowed also by the french presence rather controversial comments on wednesday when he said that he was going to really taken the screws and go off to unvaccinated people in france. what they are doing is they are betting on this vaccine pass as

a way to try and persuade the last they say 5000000 adults are eligible for the faxing to go and get immune eyes and look, they're looking at the record of the current health pulse now the health pulse that was put in place by the government last year as persuaded you might say, some 90 percent of people to get vaccinated before that health pulse is necessary to go to restaurants or a bar only 3040 percent of people in france that that they want to get a vaccine. as soon as that pulse was put in place, people rushed to get their jobs. the governments are hoping that going to be the same thing now that it will force people to go and get vaccinated, whether it will not. of course, we don't know, but the health minister did say on wednesday that some 66000 people had actually registered for their 1st dose of a covey vaccine. so they see that as an encouraging sign. italy is now requiring old people over the age of 50 to get vaccinated. it's not yet clear what penalties people may face if they refuse. the health minister. i says everyone in that age

group will now be checked for their vaccination status before they enter a workplace. before we move on, want to have a look at some hospitalization, issues on this news. because as we watch these huge numbers of army current cases in many countries, a number of people actually being hospitalized is becoming important. it is perhaps a more relevant and informative metrics. so that's what we're going to do here. now this graph, 1st of all, i know it looks a little confusing, but let me take you through. it's a bunch of countries, and i should say that the hospitalization data mostly comes from european nations and it shows a general trend here, doesn't it? over the course of the pandemic hospitalizations have gone up. they've gone down, they've come up again last year. and now broadly, i would say they are starting to head back up again. i say broadly, we'll look at some countries in some detail united states, 1st of all, and i think there's 2 important lines which i'll draw here. one book called us, the ami kron line. i didn't draw that very well, did i think i pressed the wrong thing? there we go. that's the, on the current line. effectively,

when we started worrying about that, as you can see, cases have gone up. hospitalizations have gone up, but the other line i would draw at this point is this one which shows you that we are at hospitalization levels, which are almost the same as they were one year ago. so that's the united states, show you that's, there we go. i'm having a few problems. bear with me on this one, spain in the united kingdom. i just wanna generally show these ones quickly. there was a general upward trend going here at the moment. then we've got france and italy also by going up and we just heard about restrictions in both of those countries as they try to bring these down. now look at this, the netherlands in germany. absolutely the opposite. coming right down here and think about it. the netherlands put in some pretty tough restrictions over the christmas period in germany. well known christmas beforehand and they have been tough for some time. we know lockdown, we do have an effect on hospitalization and case numbers and that's what we're seeing in the netherlands. and jimmy, find the one i want to show you. south africa, of course, we're on, the kron started, and you see how the hospitalization rate went up quite

a lot there. but is now very much coming down. and we know that the south africans are saying they believe they are past their peak in micron and the hospitalization rates. little arrow. and that certainly does suggest that well, let's hear now from that, i guess we spoke a little bit earlier, lawrence agustin, who is a professor of medicine and the founding o'neill chair in global health, georgetown university in his. he said that the essential gotta get people vaccinated in order in order to avoid for the locked downs and restrictions. it's very likely that we're seeing a, a, a major surgery. some would call it a wild fire of army crime. it's, it's the most contagious pathogen on the planet, and it's may be among the most infectious ever in the history of the earth. and so there's going to be rapid spread. there's going to be a lot of cases and our end game, our goal is to try to live with this virus. and we do that by preventing people

from becoming ill, hospitalized and dying. and the best way to do that is through vaccinations, you know, locked downs and school closures are rapidly becoming a thing of the past. at least i think they should be well, i have no objection to them for now as a temporary emergency measure. but i would be really dismayed if we went well into 2021. and we started seeing countries just locking down closing schools. that's not the way to live with coven 19. the best way to do it is to vaccinate, get enough, antiviral medication and other therapeutics and just keep people out of the hospital because we're not going to prevent coverage from spreading. we've got to stop counting cases and start preventing hospitalizations in australia,

tennis, stone of joke of it, shes fighting against deportation. he arrived at to play in the australian open guns grand slam tournament. but authorities refused to accept his exemption from pandemic entry rules, as always, are appealing against the decision in court, with the case adjourned until next week, the support from sarah clark. this was of the arrival the world number one, men's tennis player, had planned on the eve of this trial, and we stopped to a government quarantine hotel with his visa revote on touch down. immigration authorities had no back door which had failed to meet the requirements to enter. there are no special cases. rules are rules. that's the policy, the government and has been governments strong, border protection policies, and particularly in relation to the pandemic. that is ensure the destroyer has one of the lowest death rights from covet anywhere in the world tennis. a strategy and the victorian government had granted him a medical exemption to travel to melbourne to defend his grand slam title for the

he got the medical exemption and he got the visa. that's obviously jock of each team. i asked australian embassy, what kind of easy to get. so there are lots of confusions and lots of different statements from i say both sides in this case, from the trailer and serbia and his family, it's out there. they're furious, they're mad. they think this is a kind of a conspiracy against the novel because he's from serbia and a tennis world. and the western world does not want jugglers to become the greatest of all time. they say jock of each got out of the airport and they took all of his personal belongings only. he has his phone with him. he's in a hotel that is definitely not by the standards that he's jock, which is used to where there are bugs all around the hotel where the food is not appropriate for jokers. so definitely hearing serve you have people are very, very mad. of course, they're waiting for monday, mondays, the date when joker,

poverty mccaul has more than that from the deli, all of them have now been taken an ambulances to medical facilities for further checkups and also for isolation another thing to note is that one, this was a chartered flight and 2 of the people who didn't test positive are actually children. and babies were exempt from testing, which means that there is a strong possibility that more people, if not all of them on board, that player were actually, are, are actually coded, 19 positive. and this is, you know, it reminds me of what happened just 2 days ago. when a cruise ship was sent back from the western state of gala to move by because dozens of people who tested positive, know when they docked, the authorities were ready and had to divert a lot of resources. you know, more than 2000 tests were deployed to just everybody on board ambulances were deployed to make sure that people who are positive was taken into isolation

facilities. now we're told that more people who are on that our crew ship about a 140 more people have also tested positive massages, absolutely massive induct locked more than 90 pounds and new cove. in 19 cases over the last 24 hours. that's a big jump from the around 55000 cases. oh, we saw just a day ago, almost doubling. can i maxwell's lawyers say they will seek a new trial? she was convicted last week on charges involving the trafficking of girls for the late sex offender, jeffrey epstein, maxwell's lawyer says, the jury moment biased because a member has revealed he was a victim of sexual abuse. well, food prices, if it a 10 year high, you ins, food and agriculture organization is found. prices jumped 28 percent in 2021 and increased blamed on poor harvests and stronger demand from rising populations. now scientists are on a mission to a giant glass here in antarctica, trying to get

a better idea of how much it is being impacted by climate change will use underwater robots to get beneath the weight. garcia, rubber chillingly is referred to as the doomsday glass. the because it would raise global sea level $65.00 centimeters if it were to come up and melt. recent research shows it's hemorrhaging more and more ice. it is an over the 192000 square kilometers on the west, antarctic ice sheet. comparison. the glass here, so almost the entire size of britain current with the lead scientist on this project and explains now what they're trying to uncover. it's an enormous gas yet. and if it did completely melts, then it would lead to $65.00 centimeters, a global sea level spread across the home. but we don't think that's going to happen in your lifetime of mine. nonetheless,

it's really important to understand when it might start to collapse and, and to get a better idea of the sea level rise that we might experience in our lifetime that, that makes a difference for the sea level. defense is that we, we all depend on that. we're going to send a rate of to really large robotic submarines beneath the i show the floating bit of ice. we're going to send these, these up points into that cavity where nobody's ever being before. so we don't know what we're going to find, but what we think is happening is that the relatively warm sea water is, is impacting on the base of the sea, of the, of the ice show and, and is accelerating the melting of it. and that's important because that i shop is kind of propping up the whole glass. and if we lose a bit of ice from the floating bit, then the rest could start accelerating towards the sea. so, so yes,

we're going to be measuring, measuring the current and the water a calligraphy we offer beautiful handwriting, not what i was doing in the video will earlier it is an entire group part of arab and islamic heritage in iraq. so it's on the decline. and one man is determined to keep it alive. the wife has his story. we're in a ramadan from iraq to saw the new city of basra, inherited his love skills and respect for telegraphy from his father. now he has been practicing arabic, crating for more than 30 years. can it's a guardian one and happy ever since i was a child, i used to sit next to my father to watch him draw leases and words. i fell in love with this profession and tried to imitate him. his painting cell in iraq and abroad was price is for a singular work of up to $1500.00 u. s. dollars. it's not enough to provide a steady or secure income,

but where he says he won't give up. now. it's part of his, his father's and his country's heritage, acount us motherland, him latavia, robert, or some people neglected and moved to other careers saying that calligraphy wanted them a living. so they took a different direction. i am here and we'll stay here. if only for the sake of my principles arabic calligraphy is considered to by you in a school to be part of the intangible heritage of humanity. but as iraqi calligrapher is thrive with passion to revive the art, they're worried that a lack of estate support and interest could lead to its decay. ally sally, a member of iraq's calligrapher, his association has turn it his business to printing. he says, unlike other types of evolving fine arts, calligraphy has had the same set of artistic rules for centuries. we are neither

okay, any people's taste has changed with time. they've become more to swift and dynamic products, which has become a mainstream for thought. calligraphy is now lecturing, it usually takes time and effort. oliver. it's intricate, delicate work, taking patience and time. but the finished war can be dazzling, delightful. and despite the challenge is the craft is facing. it's what motivates we're in a ramadan to continue. ma'am, with abdougla, had al jazeera bud. the 2022 golden globe awards will be held this sunday. there will be no audience. there will be no media. there will be no red carpet organizers have put it all down to the pandemic. but the group behind the golden globes is being boycotted by the industry. the hollywood, hollywood, foreign press association is accused of failing to address a lack of diversity. sports news is coming up on this news and if you are

vaccinated, you can play and outstanding open on february. it will hear more of what raphael a doll has to say about no. that joker bitches efforts to get into radio. ah.

with a whole ah ah, here with your sports, when everyone's against you, andy, who can you turn to for support? always your lonnie mother, her nerve at jack of it. she's mother has come outside fighting on behalf of her son. she says australian authorities treating him like a prisoner joke of it. she's says of playing at this. she is australian. i have been remaining limb by the weldon bon spending another night in

a so called detention hotel and melvin as he fights the decision to revoke his visa over pandemic rules. events organize is remember, had said he'd be allowed to play despite not being fully vaccinated against co 19 bots. australian border, or forty's refuse to accept his medical exemption, doc, which is lawyers have appealed against that decision. the case has been adjourned until next week. i feel terrible since yesterday last 24 hours they they are keeping him as a prison. it's just not very human. so i just called if you will be strong as we are trying also to be strong. do you feel energy to keep on right? well, not quite as much sympathy on offer from his long time playing rival raphael. no doubt. he is safely in melbourne. everybody is so free to take. no, they own positions, but then and there are some,

some consequences now on the of falls. of course, i either like the, the situation that is happening ah, in some way i, i feel sorry for him. but at the same time, he know he knew the conditions things a lot of months ago. we need to get the vaccine that's, that's my point of view. and i went through the course, i have been a vaccinate the twice i. and if, if you do this, so you don't have any problem to, to play here. and that's the only clear, think if you are vaccinated, you can play in those style in open and everywhere. and the walt, ah, in my opinion, i have been suffering enough. do not follow the rules will. earlier on we spoke to sports illustrated, john worth time. he says the controversy surrounding joke of which isn't good for

the game's image. it's a real issue for the florida. here is this towering player. he's probably going to go down having one more majors than any male ever. he's winning this rivalry, it gets roger federer and ruffin a doll. and yet you have this consistent string of embarrassing incident. some players, some athletes, celebrities who were made to be boxed and made means of that is not the case here. it's not a good look with the sports, great calorie champion is also the guy. everyone's rushing the social media to, to spoof because whether it's, you know, hitting a ball it's alignment, throw that gets him defaulted from the us open 2 years ago. or whether it's the super spreader events that he ran in 2020, or, you know, advocate tantrum at the olympics. or now the latest with this sort of latest socket, australia it's, it's not great when it's the figure at the top of the heap. this has really exposed

some of some of the law, the tenants, and one of them is that in team sports, you have teams and you have at least you have labor and management. and the teams are employing the players and they can tell the players what to do. and there's collective bargaining and the players are independent contractor. so on the one hand, players can decide when they want to play. and if they want to take a week off, they can take a week off if they want to fire their coat, it's their decision. but one of the issues with that is that there's not a lot of cohesion. it's not as simple as a team saying ok, all the players, the curfew is midnight if you come in late after that, we're going to find it doesn't work that way. it's in the players of their own bosses. and so one of the issues is that something that should be fairly simple. you know, you want to have a vaccine mandate and these players are crossing borders or sharing a locker room. maybe everyone should be vaccinated. it's not simple. there isn't a conventional union the way there is another sports will korea, the thing is made a winning return to action. the brooklyn net star had missed all of his teams

previous games this season due to his refusal to get a car 19 vaccination. but irving with central to brooklyn's ride when he over the indiana paces the school 22 points. he's the one on 29. so 121 net sound. so i won't get to see the 29 year old. and every game urban cannot take part in home games because rules in new york require players to be vaccinated. now i'm just taking one day at a time earlier in the season and just it's not an ideal situation . ready and i'm always praying that they get figured out and we're able to come to some collective agreement, whether it be with the league or just think that's going on. that could help ease what, what we're all dealing with, call it in the fax, seen. i think everybody's feeling it so i don't want to make it simply about me and simply about, you know, someone lesson in the rules for me. i just,

i know that i know what the consequences were still. no, they are. but right now, i'm just don't take it one day at a time, i guess it. and just enjoyed his time that i get to play with my guys. and you know, however, it looks later in the season address and rama la cock. i was back in the chelsea team for the english lee cup, semi final against tottenham, chelsea's reco, sony having dropped for the last game. that after saying he wanted to leave the club in an interview while chelsea went on. so when the 1st like of this time to now kind of it's with the opener, a spurs own goal for like shortly afterwards. the 1st like a 1st a semi should have coming up between liverpool and also bounce been postponed. due to a high number of code, 19 cases, political okay most for from a little later on. that's how we're looking for now. and you, andy, the lesson of today's sports probably easier for you. excellent. we are back in about 2 minutes time, played him on news for you here on al jazeera,
