the u. s. becomes the 1st in the world to get a heart transplant from ah, so kathy sounds president has announced the russian lead troops will begin pulling out of the country within 48 hours. custom jim tuck i have taught parliament of fall. withdrawl is expected to be completed in 10 days. russian shoulders was soldiers was sent to kazakhstan last week to quell violence during protest against the governments more than 160 people have been killed and nearly 10000 detained. talk i have has also announced a new government lineup and we can smell up, has been nominated for prime minister. so let's cross straight away to run 1st walk who's standing by 1st to police, he georgia monitoring event and cause it's done. so robin, 1st of all, what more do we know about the withdrawal of russian troops?

as far as president car is concerned, its mission accomplished for that deployment of peacekeeping troops who came in to back him up last week during all that violence and disorder. well, they are now going to leave, he said, and they will be for the deposit within 10 days. so that job is done. but really today was about big reforms, structural reforms, political, economic and social that he's promising because people and changes at the top with his new prime minister smile. and the appointment of the new prime minister we do. he did serve as a deputy prime minister in the previous covenant. the name that's right. people have been speaking to say that he's a bit of a political lightweight, but maybe he'll have to prove itself. or he'll be a very dutiful, less tenant,

because that's what president. okay. now needs. what's really fascinating about his speech is it for the 1st time he opened the criticized normal time as a buyer, as a buy cars extends bus president. he's an old man. now he's 81 years old. we haven't heard from him since the end of the year since the end of december. and he's been completely silent. and betty had mentioned on state media for the past week. it looks as if his time is over and his families, networks, and great wealth that they've mast that's now being brought into question because took, i've said that all the gods had reduced competition. that people under the previous president had grown rich. we know from media reports that net buys close family had to spend $785000000.00 on real estate abroad

over the, over the past 2 decades in the united states, from wealthy mansions in places like london and geneva. so this is a, this is about drawing a line under the pos, criticizing the form of president and moving forward into a new president. so kind of the misty to kind of order. all right, robin, thanks very much indeed for that run 1st year we'll get reporting that from tbilisi on the situation and because it's dawn us and russian diplomats report little progress during totes in geneva aimed at deescalate intentions on ukraine's border . moscow has spent the last few months gathering its forces on ukraine's eastern flank raising fears about an invasion. most ones guarantees that nature will not accept ukraine as a member general has this. it is an achievement of sorts. the talks between russia and united states and geneva didn't end in failure. they were never likely to be a major success. but while russia insisted it had no intention of invading ukraine,

there remains little sign of an immediate end to the crisis. it's not the situation we're ah, a deal breaker one way or another. he's in the vision. unfortunately, we have a great disparity in our principled approaches to these us and russia, in some ways, ah, have opposite views on what needs to be done. us negotiators trod carefully, they promised they wouldn't be talk of ukraine security without ukraine present. this instead, a chance to air respective concerns and get a measure of russia's true intent with tensions at their highest since the end of the cold war points of dispute between russia and the u. s. are plentiful, but ukraine is perhaps most urgent. russia has supported a separatist conflict there for 8 years now, and the presence of a 100000 russian troops on ukraine's border threatens

a new war in europe. russia wants legal guarantees that ukraine will never become a member of the nato alliance. a demand flatly rejected by western allies. on monday, ukraine's deputy prime minister met the nato secretary general talks with russia will widen on wednesday to include nato members in brussels. and then the o. s. c. e. in vienna, on thursday. what russia is doing is trying to impose its agenda instead of returning to the negotiation table. and we are state that very clearly that we will never compromise on the right for every nation in you'd have to choose his own path, including what kind of security arrangements in want, sir, to be a part of earlier russia's deputy foreign minister suggested the u. s. had not taken seriously, his countries demand that ukraine never be allowed to join nato. that's an ominous sign by continuing to press what is a solid western red line?

russia may be showing its hand that president putin may not intend this week of talks to succeed at all, but rather to use them as a pretext for war. drone a whole al jazeera or the u. s. is skeptical of russia's insistence that it's not planning to evade ukraine. as our diplomatic editor james base, heard from the american ambassador to the united nations. ambassador, the deputy foreign minister of russia says they have no plans to invade ukraine. you are the u. s. official. probably has more contact with the russians than any other you deal with them an almost daily basis. do you believe him? i wish to believe him. i wish that it is true that they have no plans, but everything we've seen so far indicate that they are making motions in that direction. and if they have decided not to move forward because of our engagement with them over the course of the past few weeks with president biden speaking to

president putin twice. ah, then that's a good thing. but we will continue to prepare and to plan for responding. should they take any actions against ukraine? north korea has 5, a suspected ballistic missile. both japan and south korea detected the launch on tuesday morning with the projectile landing outside of japan's waters, north korean leader kim jong and has called for military advances. young says hypersonic missile was tested in an earlier launch. the un is launching its launched of a humanitarian appeal for a single country. it needs more than $5000000000.00 in aid for afghanistan. over half the population, that's about 23000000 people face acute hunger. the un humanitarian chief says he's most worried about the country's children. the figure of a 1000000, a 1000000 children, potentially suffering severe, acute malnutrition,

a 1000000 children. it figures are so hard to grasp and that this kind of size, but a 1000000 children in afghanistan at risk of that kind of malnutrition. if these things don't happen is a shocking one. we also know from the food insecurity, there's up to 8000000 people in afghanistan again, still in afghanistan, who are endangered in terms of food security at, at a level of food and security that will eventually lead to severe hunger with 20000000 people in china. now confined to their homes as a 3rd cities placed under lockdown to stem, the spread of current of ours. 2 cases of armor crone were detected on monday in

the cities and young. it's believed the infections are linked to 2 other cases which were found in the city of tension on saturday. or the number of people in hospital cave in 19, in the united states has passed last year's record. on monday, the u. s. reported about 1350000 cases. that is the highest ever daily total of any country in the world. health officials say the volume of infections is overwhelming . hospitals the under further strain due to the hind them as a staff infected with the virus. and makes it him president and says, manuel lopez over door says he only has light symptoms after testing positive for current of ours. for a 2nd time, it comes as may scare reports to record number of new cases. over door, says, hospitalizations and deaths are not increasing at the same rate with experts say these statistics like behind infections by several weeks. it didn't seem to lead here and al jazeera back to school children in uganda,

250 can be throughout. that's pretty dangerous stuff for the south. more traditional winter weather, heavy manage snow for greece and some heavy rain warnings as well as the circulations the back wars. the cold breeze of follows will bring temperatures down . usually the skies to nice and clear. the snow disappears or be areas where the rain continues in sicily, for example, to this year, that clears away from greece and all this time. spain's enjoying very nice weather seems to portugal and a good part of central europe, even in the north centuries about whether it should be re running through the british isles, a low countries snow for sweden and finland. there is still some very cold air bag . you may have noticed in pittsburgh at minus 15, and that calls press down to the baltic states to better ruth will be pushed out of the way slowly on wednesday. the weather sponsored by katara ways. ah

ah ah, ah ah. again, you know what you out there. i remind of our top stories this out and catholic sounds president. the non russian troops will begin pulling out within 48 hours. they were sent in during days of anti government protest wasn't 160 people were killed and nearly 10000 to change us and russian diplomats have wrapped up the 1st

meetings in a week of diplomacy aimed at de escalate intentions on ukraine's border. russia's deputy foreign minister called the discussions complex. the un is launching his largest ever humanitarian appeal for a single country. it needs more than $5000000.00 in aid for afghanistan. over half the population, about 23000000 people face acute undergo. now than the tennis world, number one, never joker, which has resumed training after winning a court challenge to remain in australia. he was stopped at the border on wednesday night and told he didn't qualify for medical exemption to enter australia because he's not vaccinated. but he is still facing the possibility of deportation because he's not vaccinate, recover 19 is to say a straight is immigration minister could still intervene and cancel jock of inches a visa? well, advocates for asylum seekers in australia, a demanding fred treatment for all following joke of riches,

release his brief detention at an immigration hotel in melvin highlighted the plight of refugees and asylum seekers. some of them have been held in the same hotel for years. so let's take this home, we can speak to alison madison, who joins us now from sydney. she's founder of human rights for all. welcome, allison joke of it's a story shy and perhaps all too brief for light on the plight of these people i think was around 30 in this particular detention center in this hotel. tell me who they are, 1st of all and why they're there. yeah, sure. so thank you very much for having me. and there are apartments 32 refugees and asylum sekins in a park hotel in cotton way and no batch of beach was kept. they are there because they have been medically evacuated from australia is offshore to tent in prisons, in centers on medicine and been paying gay and narrow. the vast majority are recognized refugees and a waiting for settlement and in

a 3rd country because australia refuses to comply with its international obligations to permanently settle things. people. and i dare say that their legal experience is very different from that of nova truck route. well the am yes and no. so e heats what joke a vic found himself in a system in which the assumption is that you will be detained. so that's a problem with the base or, or you're proving your refugee status, you must be detained if you're an unlawful noncitizen and the issue for refugees and sightless paco is that is a much more protect protracted process about 5 days in immigration detention. i, i think would be record right. yes. because document his parents thought to be appalling conditions at the some was in the can complained that he was being treated like a prisoner of dreadful moldy insect infested food. is that the kind of experience

that you hear about from the refugee? yes, absolutely. any. it's a very correct analogy that they treated like of prisoners because australia is immigration detention center, as they are in fact and regulated prisons. and they run it by private companies with the commonwealth government oversight on that they are key and forces faces. in particular, if you never know when you're going to lathe, if you it, or if you ever will. so i have clients in a park hotel who have been detained by australia for 9 years, including people who arrived as children. all the people in hong hotel are seeking medical treatment. and a lot of that is to do with mental health, which is never going to be solved as they are kept in such restrictive conditions. so the media spotlight has shifted away from, you know, the, the experience of

a multi 1000000 a tennis player. and his experience was in that detention center. do you think this whole saga might make any difference a told to that those refugees that you represent and talk about well, we are very hateful that it will be a sterling government does appear to dig into certain decisions once the initial decision has been made. so i have clients who have been in federal court 3 times to have decisions on the turned where they have found to be legally incorrect as made by the minister, not even to delegate the minister and the minister just re makes the decision based effectively on a precedent that we're setting up by going through the court system and so we, we are hopeful that the light will keep shining owen, these terrible system, all immigration detention and, and, and we white to say allison better. so we appreciate your time. thanks very much indeed for joining us. allison barrison,

the rightful thanks. look. 600 people have been detained and one was shot off to security forces rated a refugee and migrant sitting outside a u. n. community center in the libyan capital testers were calling for better protection from the authorities. as malik train report now, from tripling, the norwegian refugee council and international rescue committee have said that they are, are a lauren at the detention of hundreds of migrants and asylum seekers. or they were put into a detention center. and these attention centers are often of very packed other, not very sanitary. and they are often put into very poor conditions. no doubt we have been attacked. people vulnerable women, disabled mentally disturbed individuals who were seeking safely to we're thinking protection of the office have been attacked at night out of nowhere. and they had no escape route. there are no,

but invitations sent us where in human treatments are with the red explosions. torture is the vision. everything in human and unimaginable. my humble requests to the international community is trying to vent. now just to give you some context, in early october, living authorities carries out a crackdown on migrants and refugees. and they think they rounded up at least 5000 migrants in refugees in early october. and they are put in detention centers like the mobility facility. just a week after that, the young man facility saw a massive gape. and in that event, at least 6 migrants were killed and dozens injured. also that really led to a feeling of fear and panic among others population here in libya are so many of them went and began camping out in front of the u. n. refugee agency. we've tried

to speak to the ministry of interior. they haven't commented as of yet, but, but really what we're seeing, what we're hearing from people that were there, were saying that the violence was used. there's a report that the report suggests that at least one person had a gunshot wound, the international rescue committee and the norwegian refugee council have called on the immediate release of those detained. but we're still going to have to wait and see what kind of response of the government has in the coming days. millions of children are finally back in the classroom in uganda, officer karone of our shut down lasting almost 2 years for this concern that as many as a 3rd of pupils will not return because they started working or they become pregnant rhetoric and they have at keanta genius school on the outskirts of the capitol. cam . paula: there's excitement in the air. parents doing the school drop off for the 1st time in almost 2 years. a many can't hide their relief that the world's longest school

shut down. due to coven 19 has ended margin for 3 of having them, on the fast months. what find struggle with teaching them? of course saw it's difficult for a parent, mr. during their own child, when you go to walk. and then when you leave them aside, this little good blendy thing. i thought schools in uganda closed in march 2020 shortly after the 1st case of code 19 was confirmed on the african continent. some classes reopened in february last year, but shot down again 4 months later as the country faced a surgeon infections. during that time some people started working, others became pregnant. there were concerns, as many as a 3rd of students will never return. but that's not the only worry on the current has just heat and the president saved if that intensive care unit, catherine 50 by fan was how be going back and to look that was oh, named the local area. and that you gender know what is coming next. look up there,

man, a distracted and afraid president you wearing was 70 credits. you can dis, high vaccination rate for the reopening. but his also said some looked down measures could be reinstated if case his rise steadily had teachers say the last 2 years have had a devastating effect on children and one that closing schools again would be a mistake. i hope, without disdain. that is a knock william ban. let us in one of these to which one is as vehicle roman school . mia is due to the synagogue and then left continues alike of children in uganda, once again experiencing one of the most important parts of their lives, education. but for how much longer remains to be seen, victoria gate and be al jazeera, the united nations has begun meetings and cult team that trying to find a way to win the political deadlock that's paralyzed to don since october, military coup. but some protest groups like the sudanese professionals association,

are rejecting the u. n's intervention that demanding the removal of the military from power as a precondition to engage in any negotiation, view and envoy for sudan, vulcan purpose hopes the talks will find a compromise and are roughly and hot on the time has come to end violence and to enter a comprehensive process to solve the crisis. that's why we initiated an international mission. and we invited the political and social players, governmental and non governmental, including the political parties, armed groups, civil society, women's groups, resisting groups to participate. so call me, i can say that the military didn't oppose our initiatives, and that is important. so i'm not talking about people jama, the military is present, and they have their own opinions and interests, but they didn't object the initiative. what joe biden and the u. s. vice president, a jew in the state of georgia to campaign against state laws, they say threaten to limit voting rights. rob reynolds has

a background. we won the election twice. inspired by former president donald trump's falsehoods about widespread fraud in the 2020 election, republican controlled state legislatures in 19 states have passed 34 new laws restricting access to voting. there is an assault underway on the very structure of our elections and our democracy. that is carrying forward to assault that we saw on january 6th of 2021 on united states capital president joe biden called out trump in his january 6th speech, a former president and a supporters have decided the only way for them to win is a suppress your vote and subvert our elections. for example, in the swing state of georgia, new laws make it harder to request mail balance, bar election officials from sending applications for those ballots, restrict the number of drop boxes and polling places in heavily democratic urban

areas and make it a crime to offer food or water to people waiting in long lines for a chance to vote. states including georgia, have gone further passing laws that would undermine non partisan election agencies and officials, and even allow partisan officials to reject election results entirely. battled senate democratic party leader charles schumer says he will introduce 2 bills this month. that would allow the justice department to undo state restrictive voting laws. republicans have blocked those efforts before using the parliamentary maneuver called the filibuster, which requires a super majority of votes in the senate, if not abode in rockville, it's i, sprawling sweeping takeover of our democracy. schumer says if the republicans block it again, he will try to eliminate the filibuster for voting rights legislation. if this continues, the only option left for democrats is to explore and propose reasonable fixes to

restore the senate. so we can get these critical pieces of legislation passed into law. trump's big lie about the 2020 election amplified by right wing media has had an impact. in january of 2021. a poll showed that 59 percent of americans that they trusted, that elections represented the will of the american people by september of last year, the majority had slept to where now 62 percent shade, they do not doubt is a threat to the very fabric of our democracy, another recent whole shows 34 percent of americans believe acts of violence against the government are sometimes justified. 2022 will be a crucial year with congressional elections in november. trauma will hold his 1st rally of the year in arizona this week. and former 1st lady, michelle obama, announced her voting rights organisation will lead a drive to register 1000000 new voters this year. rob reynolds al jazeera,

the president of the european parliament, has died 65 year old david sicily was admitted to a hospital 2 weeks ago before my journalist passed away after suffering pneumonia, and had problems with his immune system. in a 1st, for medical science adults is in the u. s. a transplanted a pix hauled into a patient to save his life. surgeons have been trying to find a way to use animal organs because of a shortage of human organ. donations around copa has this report. david bennett had been given 6 months to live and didn't qualify to receive a human heart. doctors told him there was no guarantee had survived receiving a heart transplanted from a pig. his patient was given an opportunity for this. this experimental transplant was the idea mind that we didn't know what the outcome might be, but it wasn't going to be worse than traditional therapy. a gene edited pick hot

was used to reduce the risk of the patient's body rejecting the organ. and 3 days after surgery, dr. say his doing well, bennett son says his father is glad he made the difficult decision. you realizes the magnitude of what was done and he really realised the importance of it and talking with him. i've never in my life i heard or seen my dad cry, but i think he realised the seriousness of his condition in the last couple weeks. decades of research went into the medical breakthrough. it was always said, does he not grasp? foundation is the future and always will be this was gordon multiple times. i would like to say that, you know, grasp on vision is now the present. in the united states salon, an estimated $10000.00 people die every year, waiting for a transplant. it's one of the reasons says, cautious excitement. it's significant because we don't have

a source of human organ replace. ah, of sufficient numbers to answer demand. ah, and not only to man but a timely manner. but for now, david bennett and his family have been thrown a lifeline. barbara and epa al to sara, ah, this is are, are, these are the top stories and causing stones president has announced that russian troops will begin pulling out within 48 hours. they were sent in during days of anti government protests. more than 160 people were killed and nearly 10000 detained from enforcer walker has more now from to fleecy in georgia. it really seems like it was a symbolic gesture move to have them in there to, to show that he had the backing of moscow and well, the.
