one 0, one east meets the water is of corruption. on l g 0. 0, be the hero world needs right? oh, washer. not allowed. 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 of the principal. ah, and come all santa maria here and doug, how this is the world news from al jazeera explosions and gunfire, and catholic stones largest city as

a russian lead regional forces deployed at the request of the presidents, frances, getting close to making it china for unvaccinated people to get into public venues and australia's deportation of tennis champion, no joke of, it's his delight as he fights the decision to revoke his visa. i've a pen demik rules. ah, it is exactly a year united states mocking that years since a mob of riot has breached the u. s. capital. both president joe biden and his vice campbell harris have addressed the nation, pushing the importance and resilience of democracy with biden directly blaming his predecessor donald trump for the violence. former president, united states of america, has created and spread a web of lies about 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's interest. and because his bruise, diego matters more to him than our democracy or our constitution, he can accept, he lost it was these events of january the 61 year ago, which shocked americans and people all over the world. hundreds storming the country seat of democracy. spurred on by donald trump false claims that he had in fact won the 2020 election. 5 people died including a police officer, hundreds have been arrested and charged. and while the physical damage has been repaired, that day remains so divisive for so many people. let's go to capitol hill where it all happened, mike hannah, with us job on and giving that speech talking about dag is on the throat of democracy. this was not your average speech. no, it was a very strong speech from president fight and marked by its intense fury at the

form of precedent to president biden. never mentioned by name, he did not say the words donald trump, but he made numerous reference to that form the president, who he accused of putting the principle politics over principle, 30 strong words, criticism for that former president. as describing his claims of election fraud as a web of lies. so that speech being made in the national statutory hall here in the capital, which is one of the scenes that was invaded to buy demonstrators insurrection, as, as some would describe them a year ago. and president biden drawing on the history of that room that served as the 1st congress within the united states before the civil war. it's in that room that abraham lincoln stowed, but president biden, using this as an example of a country that has withstood attacks against democracy before. absolutely insistent

that it will withstand such attacks. again, despite what happened on january the 6th, a year ago. also very strong words from the vice president, kamala harris, who spoke about using filing cabinets as barricades. and we spoke about those events as revealing the strength and the fragility of democracy. the fragility by the fact that people were able to enter the capital, the strength by the fact that the senate, to the end of that day, verified the election results fulfilling its democratic duty. despite what had happened in the hours before to focus quite as much on donald trump as he did even without saying his name, mike some, i think my view that as well, it's back quit looking and it's maybe not even helpful. but i guess joe biden has got an eye on 20. 24 has me. and the idea that actually donald trump is both the past and the future of the republican body. well, that might not necessarily been the case,

although donald trump has hinted that perhaps he might run again. there is no confirmation that he will. some republicans would want him to the wound, but also, although there was a strength and an anger in president biden statements, it was about more than just donald trump. what biden was hitting at what's the way in which the actions of donald trump and his supporters have impacted on the democracy of the country as a whole. he seems generally the 6 as get another stage in a battle against democracy by some forces within the republican party. president biden making specific reference to laws that have been passed in several republican states restricting access to poles at bad, on mail, invoking a gerrymandering of districts to cut down on the number of democratic party voters . president biden, taking a far beyond purely the personal, the actions of one individual and putting these in the context of

a why the threat to democracy posed not just by donald trump, but those who follow him. and one last point to make is that the majority of republicans still appear to support general trump in his false election claims, as well as support him in attempting to whitewash exactly what happened on this day a year ago. context from mike canada, reporting from capitol hill today. thank you. might on to other news and explosions and gunfire being heard in the big biggest city in kazakhstan. a day after dozens of protesters and police were killed. a russian led military alliance is deploying troops to cast sun demonstrate as stormed public buildings. a government's been dismissed in a state of emergency is in force. russia says this worth violence and decades is quite inspired from outside. while the e. u is calling for tours called an early is act 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, following developments for us is robin forest t a walker. he is in tbilisi, georgia. 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, and they're happening in cities across the country. but yes, the, the epa center of the violence is happening in marty. that's the former capital and the largest cultural and commercial center of the country. so i have been seeing some tweets from journalist colleagues who report that we are still hearing gunfire

in the center of our matee as security forces attempt to re take control of the administrative building. the mess offices in downtown massey, heavy gunfire and we have seen more folks filled with bodies on social media uploads and security services saying that they have lost personnel. 13 was the latest counts and with more than $300.00 wounded. well, we certainly unfortunately expect that the death toll to be significant amongst the civilian population. protestors been angry about fuel hikes, but have very legitimate grievances. but the government in kazakhstan is describing them as looters and terrorists at trans fallon, the director of the center for russia, europe, asia studies and says, requesting help from russian led forces of the desperate move by the catholic

presidents. this is something that will make china rather uncomfortable because there is a kind of condominium between russia and china because extended sandwich between these 2 great powers. and once you and by the russians and it's very, very hard to get them out. we saw a similar playbook happened in bell ruse, and of course we have frozen conflicts in georgia as well where we see russian troops. so i think that this is shows how desperate the situation is in catholics done that the government had to invite the russians in for the c s t o i should say, which is a russian lead group. and also has echoes almost over the soviet past. and this couldn't have been worse timing for putin because president put in his try is getting ready for the negotiations on nato. and he's kind of trying to re organize the post soviet settlement. and then it looks like he's occupying another post soviet countries. so it really has negative effects. it doesn't really show how strong russia is, but it actually shows how there's a lot of happiness with these other panic regimes. on the cover news in the lower

house of frances parliament is approved tougher covered 19 measures off the 3 days of an intense debate. the bill would make full vaccination mandatory for people to, for example, a 10 public events or to travel on in the city trains. natasha butler has more from pass. 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 policy as a way to try and persuade the last. they say $5000000.00 adults are eligible for the faxing to go and get immune eyes and look, they're looking at the record of the current health part. 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 a restaurant 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 125 passengers on a flight from italy to india have tested positive the curve 19. after arriving at the airport, partly with all his move from the deli, all of them have now been taken in 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 are 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 colbert 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 go up to mom, by because dozens of people who tested positive, now 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 the people who are positive wolf taken oh, 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 double check the world where the next and then hearing from a leading scientist, part of a mission, to what has been called the doomsday, glasgow, the master of the pen, a man trying to keep the rocks calligraphy tradition of life in change in times ah ah,

look forward to brighter skies. the weather sponsored my cattle at ways. hello, we've got high pressure in charge across china. so as long as each ryan settled here, little bit of wet weather, to sliding out to southern path to try to this area of low pressure, will continue to drift out into the open waters of the northwest pacific and behind that were dragging in a cold north we were northwesterly, wind across japan, so there's a chance more snow coming in here as we go on through friday and on in to saturday . notice now as it has been recently, but one of those boats can see maybe 304050 centimeters of snow over the next 2 or 3 days. so that could cause some disruption. and we go with that dry weather across the korean peninsula, inter good parts of china. southern areas could see a spot or 2 of rain having said that, some showers, meanwhile, across or southeast asia, as per usual, no great change in conditions here. the live issues are likely to be into indonesia . we have seen some flooding recently into asa mara and they show us assets

continue over the next hour. so possible. you could also see some heavy rain from time to time and we got some heavy rain making its way across some north western parts of pakistan. his same area cloud of rainbow flooding in 2 western areas of iran recently into pakistan. it drives its way right across western india, or the weather sponsored by cats are always stepped beyond the comfort zone. were assumptions or challenge travel to the ends of the earth and further experience the unimaginable of the people who live it. probably the most straight situation i've been involved in how quickly these contract award winning documentary is that also a perception witness on a just a year ah,

the me on, i'll just, they were these other health stories now youth president joe biden and vice president of issued warnings about the fidelity of american democracy and how it must be protected, like on the one year anniversary of the attack on capitol hill, a russian. the military alliance is deployed troops to count that sounds equal violence on breast. dozens of protests have been officers and children demonstrations that began over spike and fuel. and frances lo, how the parliament the proved tougher coven 19 measures. up to 3 days in intense debate, the bill would make bank connection mandatory people in most public places. well, the director general of the world health organizations is the alma chron. variance

i know that dr. beach had been seeking to win 21st grand slam singles titles over taking ref i on the dull and roger federer at this tournament for now those hopes seemed dashed instead. he's facing a major battle to try and shops being sent home. sarah class, audi 0, queensland, australia meters in the chinese city of shyanne, say an outbreak of cove at 19 has been brought under control. the masters community cases of decline to these are his words, basically 0. the city of 13000000 has been under a strict lockdown for 2 weeks. china acting quickly and found the to stamp out even small outbreaks with just a month to go to a live agent winter olympic games. and it was airlines were beginning to lift towards financial recovery when the on the chrome barrier was identified in november. since then, travel bands and tough a testing rules of built another blow. hong kong both cafe pacific isn't particularly bad shape as brit credit reports. the pandemic is taking

a toll on the global aviation industry. but hong kong flagship carriers facing particularly turbulent times, kathy pacific has drastically reduced its number of flights since the start of the pandemic, as it navigates some of the world's harshest border restrictions in quarantine requirements. and its staff are being blamed for 5th wave in hong kong, the territories 1st outbreak in months after a crew member breached quarantine. the government has responded by tightening the rules for returning air crews even further and have banned flights from a number of countries. a cafe pacific flight attendant who asked al jazeera to conceal his identity, says he isn't confident the airline will be able to survive the setbacks. i think he said to think what's the future of her phase, but there to the situation, we still cannot see and it feels her. oh, also we are not same as the other country,

which is all i air crew business is thought thing back to normal in hong call. we still have many restriction before corona virus. this was one of the world's busiest airport. but after the pandemic head, hong kong introduce tough restrictions, and it became a ghost town. now under new measures to contain the army kron variant. it's unclear when the territories aviation industry will be able to take off again, a government advisor and talk epidemiologist. ivan hung says, although only cron is a mild of variant than delta, the border controls are necessary. if you allow to the virus to run walk basically you put a lot of stress on the health system. and of course with a not satisfactory. so co vaccination rate, a 70 percent, you will have obviously a lot of cases, thousands of flights were cancelled over the year and holiday period when use of army kron emerged. and many governments band fly from south africa. and in the

united states, a makes of army crown, and rough weather continues to create headwinds for the sector with hundreds of flights cancel this week. as the virus grounds crew members, flight cancellations are frustrating for everybody. obviously, they're frustrating for the passengers were affected. but it's also frustrating for the airlines because they taking a lot of steps to get through the pandemic. frustration continues to grow here with many now asking whether these ramped up rules will undermine itself titled role as ages world city brit credit al jazeera. hong kong nigeria government has designated a group blame for a mass kidnapping as a terrorist. organization. security forces of rescued $97.00 hostages, adopted more than 2 months ago. the government's promising to increase penalties for suspected kidnappers, and those who helped them. fidelis by is in the nigerian capital approach.

these groups have been a pretty thing in the northwest on the north central parts of the country for some years from several months now some years, so to speak. and government has come on the increasing pressure from the governors, from the position who have acts demanded that government declares these groups spandex because just the sort of declaring them terrors because just having them as terrorist means government cannot really apply so much force in terms of trying to stop them or trying to do this last them from the prison or base. but now that they've been declared terrorists, the government would be purchased within parties of some military hardware from the us will be able to deploy some of these military hardware and go really hard on disparities who have in recent times, stepped up the attack on communities, kidnapping people whipping women, demanding for ransom, and generally also fitting up plays even people in commercial buses. so this is

more like yielding to the demands of the big a deal political position. and also the state governors who have been making these demand. and governments had, in november last year, she killed the cooking court order, which they had pretty caught to grant them so that they'll be able to declare the parent arm goods as terrorist. so now this is more like a step in the right direction based on the demands of the governors and the position. while food prices have had a 10 year high, the united nations food and agriculture organisation is fun. prices jumped 28 percent in 2021. the increase is being blamed on poor harvests and a strong demand. food. now find a strong emission to a giant glass here and talk to go to get a better idea of how much it is being impacted by climate change. it will use under water robots to get beneath the flights glass. yeah. rather chilling lee,

which i think is upon it's referred to as the doomsday glass here, because it would rise global sea levels by $65.00 centimeters if it were to collapse and melt. and recent research has shown that it is hammering more and more ice. this is an enormous grassy 192000 square kilometers. it is located on the west antarctic ice sheet for the comparison. the glass is basically the size of great britain, his current. i would lead scientists on the project explaining what the trying to uncover. it's an enormous gas yet, and if it did completely him out, then it would lead to $65.00 centimeters, a global sea level. so 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 fleet of to really large submarines beneath the i show that the floating best advice we're going to send these, these are points into that cavity where nobody's ever been 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 impacting on the base of the sea of the, of the ice show and, and is accelerating the melting of it. and, and that's important because that i shop is kind of popping up the whole last year . 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. now calligraphy,
