oh um, ah, after days of antique of them protest, cossick stones, former intelligence chief is arrested on suspicion of treason. ah, i'm wrong on the sub 0 life and also coming up. unless shykeneetra appears, eager region heads encamped by eternally displaced, killing a lease 56 people. 22 people have died in northern pakistan are being trapped in that cause in heavy snow. and novak just co, which is lawyers a say the tennis all was given a vaccine exemption to into australia because you uncovered last month ah,

authorities and cause it sana confirmed, the arrest of former security services, chief of carry massy mob, who's been charged with high treason for his alleged role in anti government protest this week, robin forest here, walker reports on the growing evidence of a high level struggle for control of the all rich country. long queues for fuel and the food as the public comes to terms with reality. after the unrest, a picture is emerging of a power struggle within cassock, stones, political elite. in protests this week, anger was directed at independence, has its dance 1st president 81 year old, nor so 10 as a by an old man get out they tante with

those protests turned violent in mattie, as a boy was removed from the powerful position he still occupied chair of the security council now, his loyal associate carry maxime off, fired from his role as chief of national security, has been charged with high treason. marriage certificate. not above hand picked cassie jermarta took i have as his successor in 2019 but did not relinquish power. both men played a leadership role attending international meetings together. as recently as last month we're that has now changed. we now entry the took i era like it. this guy is gonna be in charge because he's not when a book is shown, man in charge for every song government in charge. so he got to read over all the people were hanging over for the pri regime. the swift deployments of c s t o

security forces. $3600.00 russian lead troops is a clear sign to kaya has moscow's backing. they are now helping to strengthen his position in north. so turn the capital renamed after now that by of state media no longer mentioned his name, intimate blackouts have made it difficult to gauge public reaction. i finally reached a political activist via telegram. he didn't want to be named just informational chairs, which i know last because we have a lot of rumors. it was said as are there as with his reality. and there's an hour shift, all the stories and theories and based on this lack of information, rumors and official propaganda. those rumors only adding to the uncertainty

that dominates life cast on robin forest t. a walker. how to sir william courtney is an adjunct senior fellow, the rand corporation, he says it's unclear what functions might be emerging amongst a catholic styles political leads. so what we've seen is really a widespread peaceful protests that broke almost all over the country very quickly . and that happened, sometimes it happened with pension reform protests couple years ago in russia for example. but factions in the elite apparently became scared. and so some of them are contending against each other. there could be $23.00 factions, not clear. and it's not clear what the oil is are. for example, the my see move, the head of the former head of the national security council is very close to when i was by a family of i f is urged people to rally around to kind of clear that there is

a separate take higher versus not a bias faction, for example. so it's a situation that is motivated just by politics, i'm sorry, because it's on russia has played really no role. stimulating this division. the invitation to russia sent troops will be very unpopular among thoughts. and if russian troops, workers shoot because act, that would be extremely unpopular and could alienate cause it's on for marcia, something like where you craters really dated from russia. so i think the russians will want to keep their troops out of the shooting situation. for example, another concern is that ultra nationalists in russia would like to bring 2 or 3 or 4 of the regions in the northern part of cars that have large ethnic russian minority. this like to annex them into russia. so if those russian troops were

expanded, number were to go to those oboski. this to create a new crisis. at least 56 people have been reportedly killed in their strike in ethiopia, northern te gray, region aid workers say the strike hit, a count for internally displaced people near the village of dandy bits near the era train border. the ethiopian government hasn't responded to the report. now the attack came shortly after the ethiopian government released a number of high profile political prisoners. they include members of the t grain rubble forces. government officials said it was time to promote national dialog tech. he get been michael is a right, is a writer, fatigue at dot com which documents war crimes and t grey. he says the prisoners release is nothing more than a p. r, stunt by abby ailment. some numbers in the international community went into party mode, saying that this is typically the right direction and that the price that they have been, they have been mounting will be hot bull. now,

truth about this was positive news and signal what is to come. but i go to ruin the party a couple of hours later, which was that he sent his newly acquired drones into weston, to great and rain bombs, ceilings, 56 people and wondering what done. i think a few people in the strike. i think it's important to see that we list of the political prisoners in its proper context over the past month, tens of thousands of grounds and all that was happening. j. something about unknown by releasing about i think 6 people 70. yesterday he tried to create a positive environment around him to kind of route to that international community that he was interested in the go see ation on resolution. does the company in fact, it continue doing what he had been doing, which is bombing on trying to advance about me totally interested,

right. as we speak, eric, troops are trying to enter into, to write, just to grant money is due to want to resist the bodies of 9 of the 20 victims of the snow. so in pakistan i've been brought was all about. they died after getting trapped in their vehicles overnight. kentoria gates and me now reports, moon is line. the streets in islamabad is ambulances carrying the bodies of 8 members of the same family drive past friends of nevada, at ball, or in shock. they say the police officer and his family were well liked members of the community. come on, good, and would you prefer lagrano? i still can't believe it. even after i heard about this tragic incident. the whole country is grieving along with the family marvey to it. paul was a very nice person. this is a calamitous day about albuquerque, homer. the book temperatures fell to minus 8 degrees celsius overnight on friday in the mountain town of murray. around 30 kilometers ne of his lam,

eastern tex is into arkansas and its southern appalachians. and we can trace that further toward the north. we'll call it pretty much from the great lake straight through to the mid atlantic. some soaking rains to be expected. was found. we go, you know, over the last so bit victoria 24 centimeters of snow. you have out snow toronto and vancouver has out. snowed edmonton, just think about that for a 2nd much commer conditions on sunday for western canada and the pacific northwest that also extends into california, sunny day and los angeles with the high of 19 degrees. the trade winds are pick it up, some moisture off the caribbean sea, and that is running into the caribbean coast of central america. our show, the flooding going on right now in brazil. so this is sal polosa stage where the north of it, a state of disaster has been declared here a more than a 100 millimeters of rain fell within 2 hours. and so hundreds of people force from their homes. and we see those storms bubble up through the amazon base and brazilian rate into rio de janeiro and out toward the south atlantic. now south of

this, it is all about the heeds by jablonka has a high of 38 degrees in the sunshine on sunday. stay cool, that's it. we'll see again sir. ah, on counting the costs, inflation supply chain wires and all the crop up to fall in 2021. so what's in store for 20? $22.00. we have a grand profit, johns, at the heart of china's economic woes. will beijing bill to revive growth and going main street? is it another begin the crypto currency? counting the cost on al jazeera, a lot of the stories that we cover heidi complex, so it's very important that we make them as understandable as we can. as al jazeera correspondence, that's what we strive to do. ah, ah, ah,

ah, the orgy out is there a remind of all top stories? after a week of anti government unrest, cossick stones, former intelligence chief curry massey mold, has been arrested on suspicion of treason, fueling speculation. of a power struggle and the ruling party on the u. s. state department is condemned to national. can he p o p is nolan, t gray region in which at least 56 people were killed. aid workers say a camp for the displaced people was hit and bodies of 9 victims of the snow stole in pakistan had been bought a to a slow bought at least $22.00 people died in total temperatures fell to minus 8 degrees celsius overnight on friday. with

the number of people in the hospital in the united states had covered 19 is rising, driven by the army. kron variant or more than 900000 cases reported in the last day . and 2615 deaths, health regulators awarding more children under the age of 5 who aren't yet let eligible to be vaccinated. and now being admitted to hospitals, which already short staffed in the united kingdom, the number of people killed by the virus has since the pandemic has passed. as this began, pandemic has begun rather passed a 150000. the country reported 330 new deaths over the last 24 hours an increase of 84 from the previous day. now over the past week, more than 1200000 people have tested positive for the virus. arise of a 10 percent and the week before and scientists in the u. k. say a 4th, the covey jav isn't necessary. several countries are offering the extra sot

a shot to people with weak immune systems will brennan as more from london. what the scientists here in the u. k. have been examining is how best to maintain the level of protection and immunity and the level of antibodies within the population here in the u. k. and what they found from looking at specifically the over 65 year old age group is that actually the booster shots are working pretty well at maintaining protection. so the statistics from the u. k. h a say the health security agency said the 3 months after the boost shot protection against hospitalization remain up a 90 percent. which is pretty good for people, a $65.00 plus. now that doesn't mean that you're not going to get to run a virus protection against mild symptomatic infection. dropped to around 30 percent around 3 months after you have the booster shot. so you can see you is still possible. you can get an infection with covert even if you've had the booster shot,

but the likelihood of it being a severe infection is going to put you in hospital and thereby put strain on the national health service. here in the u. k. is very small. indeed. 10 percent, or even less. now what that has been extrapolated by another acronym, the j. c, v i, the joint committee on vaccines and immunization, the government advisory body is to say that rather than put effort into a 4th boost shot, which has been mentioned by some politicians rolling program of continuous boosters, perhaps year on year. it's probably best and more effective to concentrate on getting those people who perhaps have no shots or just one or just 2 shots so far. getting them vaccinated. because the advisory from the metrics is that that would have more effect than pursuing a program of continuous rolling boosters for those who are already of the mind to get them. thousands of people protested in the french capital against the

governments moved to titan restrictions on unvaccinated people. a proposed vaccine pass would allow only those who have had the job to enter public places. a parliament backs the plan. it'll go into effect next sunday. and italy's new covey laws have prompted demonstrations there. hundreds of people protested, insuring against the rules that make vaccines mandatory for any one of gauge of 50 tougher laws are also coming to force for unvaccinated people. from monday they can no longer use public transport or visit restaurants. and at least 7 people have been killed in lake furnace in brazil, when a slab of rock broke off the cliff, a falling on ne by boats. the meanest carissa fire department says over 30 people were injured and 4 people still missing the navy. his deployed divers and helicopters, heavy rains have contributed to the massive rock coming loose. and the nursery . the venezuelan state of buying us has become the latest battlefield between the

government of nicholas missouri and the opposition. a vote for the state government takes place in a re run on sunday. it's the result of a dispute over elections there in november. teresa by reports on watson steak. yeah. it's the home, a former associate, he's president award. charlie's a place of enormous value for the government of nicola, my lord that's why who here? yes. how was one's venezuela foreign minister is hoping to become the new governor of readiness? here we are making a commitment together because we are going to govern together, right? we're going to govern together. you can't leave me alone. we're not going to walk away anymore. we're not going to disconnect from the people ever again to be out of yes, i kissed a copy of the sort of independence. he will see mom while you are and brought the power of the state to help him went on sunday. during last november's local

elections in which the governing party won, in most states, voters in muddiness showed ample support for the opposition candidate to venezuela . supreme court, we true actively disqualified him and called for a new election after an apparent defeat of the governing party's candidate, chavis' brother, chavis. now both parties have elected new candidates, said he are, you is hoping to become the 1st governor of bad enough in more than 20 years, who does not bear the chavis last name. this is a massive demonstration from the people are very enough and we're going to win next january, the 9th. in spite of the differences, we have, the government has all the resources of the state money resources coming from drug trafficking. even we have the people and with the people in us, we are going to win. next january, the 9th. be assured, this would be the case. god, chris, in the election in november. when wanting toi,

by the european union, for the 1st time in 15 years, your position ran divided and was unable to defeat the governing socialist party in most states. but in buddy nest, the situation was different is the what the government was desperate to getting some credibility internationally to try to get the reduction of some sanctions to be able to sit and be able to maneuver in some crucial offices internationally. but they still went ahead and dismissed the past election in berlin us in spite of it all that could become an inflection on whether elections or a way out of the current crisis in the country to venezuelans have been struggling with a devastating economic crisis that has affected every aspect of their lives. this sunday voters in body mass will test once again, the country's electro system. the results will show whether the ballots will help them in the fight for change. that is how i'll just see them. and to serve you know,

way environmental activist blocks roads and highways as they tried to stop the opening of a large lithium mine be on a cellular which has more for novi. sad environmental groups are protesting across through be at this saturday as well. activists are blocking growth and for the 1st time in history, the highway in the largest city in serbia, navi side activists, are protesting against 3 of the inter company and it's plant lead you mind project there against any project that will lead to pollution of land and water, the prime minister of the country on the burnett beach said that they are close to for a feeling their demand. and the activists are planning to continue with the process until company, reo teenth of leaves, serbia, prod this, the growth serbia started in november. last year. the u has been thousands of unregulated chemical substances in tattoo inks. scientists say many can cause cancer or other serious illnesses,

around 12 percent of people to absorb around 12 percent of people in the eve have at least one tattoo in germany. that big business. but his dominant cane reports from berlin. some fear the band could hurt their livelihoods. daniel calls or discusses today's jobs with his colleague, lena, he runs the classic tattoo causes shop. these other tools of his trade inks and chemicals which have been in use for many years, but no longer get new colors. but in a moment we have round about 10120 different colors, the new colors vendor colors coming in the middle of the year. we have just 30 cause as the thing and you lose from the quality 30 percent. it's precisely these colors which daniel believes, are the life blood of his craft colors are the important thing for it towards this is a this is that what we is bring colors in the skin under the skin. the people come

. i like to have this video. i'm sort of colors are what you can do, tick just rope play with the needles with this. this is the base to work. when you take the base you destroyed business, but to others, such inks are dangerous. the use says they pose a serious health hazard that these substances are actually also restricted in cosmetics. so you're not allowed to use them because metix, which are just placed on the skin. and now we are extending that of course to these materials which are injected under the skins. some estimates suggest around 12 percent of people across the e. you have at least one tattoo here in germany. that number is believed to be even higher, perhaps around 20 percent. so what takes place in the body when these now band eggs come into contact with us here at the german federal risk assessment institute. dr . michael gue product. yeah. told me one concern is what happens beneath the skin barrier? we know that not all pigment remain on the place. word it had to is it being made

or in it to be with is injected. we know that from studies that the lymph nodes of tattooed individuals are colored whatever the rights or wrongs of this particular issue, tattoos themselves remain very popular, especially for young people like cassius, back at the crowds that are to shop. he's having a favorite cartoon character inked onto his arm for the moment snoopy will be there in just black and white. but castle says he's got plans for more colorful tattoos some day. soon. dawn cane al jazeera berlin has been called the gateway to hell and has been burning for 50 years. tug renaissance present, good one goalie body mohammed, or has it now ordered officials to put out the flames of that. that was a gas crater. he says, the 70 me to white crater is a waste of natural resources, which could be making a profit if x extinguished. it was created in 1971 during

a soviet drilling accident that had a gas cabin to prevent dangerous fumes from spreading. the gas far the gas was set on fire. and the most powerful telescope ever launched into space has successfully completed its 2 week deployment phase. the james webb telescope is so big, it had to be folded to fit in the rocket that carried it into orbit and folding the mirrors. it was a crucial milestone. the $10000000000.00 telescope can see the 1st stars and galaxies formed more than a 13000000000 years ago. it's now moving to it's orbital point, 1600000 kilometers from earth. amy lynn thompson is a florida based space and science. jonas, who writes for space dot com, she explains the significance of what's been achieved so far. it's incredibly huge achievement. this telescope has been 25 years and the making and scientists are so

ready for it to get to the point where it can actually send back pictures. and these were the crucial stops that had to happen to make sure that that works. it has a sun shield which is basically the size of a tennis court and that has 5 different ultra thin layers to it. so just those alone had to a unfurl and b tension. so that way it would actually keep the telescope cool enough to complete at science objectives. and then on top of that you had the mirror unfolding. and all of that is just a significant achievement. so it is going to look very far back into the universe as maybe about a 100000000 years after the big bang. and what it's going to do is look at in for red light. and so that's like the portion of the electromagnetic spectrum that we feel as heat. and so stars and galaxies, planets whenever they form are very,

very hot. so the telescope is going to look for those heat signatures as far back, you know, as a 100000000 years after the big bang, which is incredible. so we could not only see some of the 1st stars and galaxies, but it can also do things as sniff out x o planet atmospheres to see what kinds of chemicals are in there. maybe even to find, you know, other habitable, habitable planets out in the universe. ah, whose orders are in these the top stores or forces and cause exxon or confirm the rest of form of secures. he serves as chief carry muscle. he's been charged with hard trees.
