a man the u. s. becomes the 1st in the world to get a heart transplant from higg ah so it sounds precedent to denounce the russian lead troops will begin pulling out of the country within 48 hours casem jermanti tuck i ever told parliament a full withdrawal is expected to be completed in 10 days, russian soldiers were sent to kazakhstan last week in a bit to quell violence during protest against government. more than a 160 people were killed, and nearly 10000 have been detained. talk f as also announced a new government line up alley candidates. my law has been nominated for prime minister from 1st year walkers falling developments from to please see in ga 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 fully deposited 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 at people and changes at the top with his new prime minister alex had smile of what's really fascinating about his speech is that for the 1st time, he openly criticize this no, so 10 as a buyer, as a buyer, because it sounds 1st 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 messed. 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 never buys close family, sped $785000000.00 on real estate abroad. this is about drawing a line under the pos, criticizing the former president and moving forward into a new president for kind of the misty us and russian to match report. little progress during talks in geneva aimed at de escalate intentions on ukraine's border. moscow spent the past few months, gathering its forces on ukraine's eastern flank raising fears about an invasion. moscow once guarantees that nature will not accept ukraine as a member general. as 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 doubt. we will never compromise on the right for every nation in you'd have to choose his own path, including old colonel security arrangements in one, sir, to be a part of earlier russia's deputy foreign minister suggested the u. s. had not taken seriously. his country's 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. jonah haul al jazeera, the u. s. is skeptical of russia's insistence that it is not planning to invade ukraine as active matic editor james bass 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 and 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 to take to the launch on tuesday morning with the projectile landing outside of japan's waters. north korean leader kim jogan has called from military advances. young says a 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. as about 23000000 people face acute hunger, the rents humanitarian chief says he's most worried about children's welfare. the figure of a 1000000, a 1000000 children, potentially suffering severe,

acute bound nutrition, a 1000000 children. it is, it figures are so hard to grasp with this kind of size, but a 1000000 children in afghanistan at risk of that kind of monitor tricia. if these things don't happen is a shocking one. we also know from the food insecurity is up to 8000000 people in afghanistan again, still in afghanistan, who are endangered in terms of food security, who are at a level of food and security that will eventually lead to severe hunger. a 20000000 people in china and now confined to their homes. as a 3rd city is placed under locked down to try and stem the spread of corona virus. more than 80 cases have been detected in the city of an yang, over the weekend. it's believe the infections are linked to 2 other cases which

people who live it is probably the most extreme situation i've been involved in how quickly things contract award winning documentary is that also a perception witness on a just iraq lou ah, i forget you watching out 0. remind about top stories this and because it sounds president is announced, russian troops will begin pulling out within 48 hours. they were sent in during days of anti government protests. more than a 160 people were killed and nearly 10000 detained us in russian. diplomats have

wrapped up the 1st meetings in a week of diplomacy aimed deescalate. the tension on ukraine's order. rushed as deputy foreign minister called the discussions complex. chinese government is ordered to lockdown of a 3rd city to stem the spread of current of ours. 20000000 people in young and in that province are confined to the homes. often more than 80 cases of oma calling were to take it on monday. to libya, where 600 people are being detained and one was shot when security forces rated a refugee and migrant protest. the demonstrators are the you and communities tend to want better protection. train that has more now from the capital tripoli, the norwegian refugee council, an international rescue committee has said that they are, are alarmed at the detention of hundreds of migrants and asylum seekers. they were put into a detention center. and these detention centers are often very packed, they're not very sanitary and they're often put into very poor conditions. no doubt

we have been attacked. people vulnerable women. does that bold mentally disturbed individuals who were seeking save it, was seeking protection of the office had been attacked at night out of nowhere and had noise keep root? there are no but the invitation sent us where in human treatments are with the red explosions. taja is the vision, everything in human and unimaginable. my humble requested international community is doing the 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 and refugees in early october. and they're put in detention centers like the and my band facility i just a week after that the my band facility saw

a massive gape. and in that event, at least 6 migrants were killed and dozens injured. so 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 use. 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. the united nations has begun meetings in cartoon to try and find a way to end the political deadlock that has paralyzed sudan since october's

military coup. but some protest groups, like the sudanese professionals association, are rejecting the u. n's intervention. they're demanding. the removal of the military from power as a precondition to engage in any negotiation. you and envoy for to don of all cooper's hopes, the talks will find comp will help find a compromise and a roughly and how long the time has come to an violation 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 about governmental and non governmental, including the political parties, armed groups, civil society, women's groups, are resisting groups to participate, talk me. i can say that the military didn't oppose our initiatives and that is important. so i'm not talking about people sharma, the military is present and they have their own opinions and interests. but they didn't object the initiative. what i want millions of children are finally back in the classroom. and you gander after corona var shut down lasting almost 2 years.

but as concerned that as many as a 3rd, a pupils won't return because they've started working, or they've become pregnant rhetoric gate b as this report. at kangi genius school on the outskirts of the capitol cam parlor . there's excitement in the air parents during the school drop off for the 1st time in almost 2 years, and many can't hide their relief that the world's longest school shut down due to cave in 19 has ended my dinner for 2 years, having them in the past months what find struggle with teaching them? of course i, it's difficult for a parent, mr. derick, their own child. when you go to walk and then when you leave them marseilles, that'll get do anything. i thought schools in uganda closed in march 2020, shortly after the 1st case of k with 19 was confirmed on the african continent. some class was 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 house and the president saved if that intensive care you need get those $350.00 by fan was how be going bucking to look, that was the local area and that your gender know what is coming next. both of them on a distracted and afraid president, you wary mis 70 credits, he got his high vaccination rate for the reopening. but his also said some looked down measures could be reinstated if case his rise steadily had teaches, 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 not going have been left us and money used to which one is going to be craft rome school? mia is due to the synagogue and then left continue. the lack of children in uganda

once again experiencing one of the most important parts of their lives. education bought for how much longer remains to be seen. victoria gate and b algae 0 joe biden, and the u. s. vice president to june, georgia to compare them against state laws. they say threatened to limit 30 rights . reynolds has a broad 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 in our democracy. that is carrying forward to assault that we saw on january 6th of 2021. i'm 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 to 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 dropboxes 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 a boat in rockville,

in so 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 52 percent shade they do not jot 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 organization will lead a drive to register 1000000 new voters this year, rob reynolds al jazeera. now than if, as a medical science doctor's in, the united states have transplanted a pix hot 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. barbara m copa has his 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 on 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, spotty, rejecting the organ. and 3 days after surgery, doctor 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. i've been 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 break. 3, 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 demit. 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 aicpa al to sara willis here now from doctor martha galati, who's president elect at the american society for preventive, at cardiology, she says it's too soon to declare the trans blood a success. it's not just the idea of putting a pic, heart into a human that's actually working for the last 3 days, but also that it was genetically modified so that we are less likely a human body is less likely to reject it. and you know, as you already mentioned,

so many people are waiting for organs, we don't have enough organs to meet the demand. so this can be a real game changer for us. this could be really pivotal, and we're going to learn a lot from this patient. if we did what we did write about this organ that they transplanted this, there should be less rejection is our hope. so we need to watch for that. we need to see the physical recovery. technically, obviously, a pink heart isn't exactly like a human heart though. it's pretty close. but i did understand the surgeons did have some issues, you know, when they were attaching it there, there was like they called it plastic surgery that they had to do in some way to had just before attaching it to a human. so we, we need to watch and see how this patient does. but you know, it is very exciting to see this that you know, that a few weeks ago they did it with a kidney transplant that again was from a higg and, and so it'll be the but that was in

a patient that was no longer living. they were already declared dead, but they were able to show that it was possible. now we have a heart, so let's see. let's also see ha, oh, much immunosuppression the patient needs. because the idea could be that they'll need less drugs to, to reduce the amount of rejection ah, services out there are, these are the top stories and causing stones president to the nonce russian troops will begin pulling out within 48 hours. they were sent in during days of anti government protests. more than a 160 people were killed and many, 10000 detained robin frosty walker's mall from to please he in georgia. it really seems like it was a symbolic gesture. moved to have them in there to, to show that he had the backing of moscow and well, the job is done. so as far as he's concerned they can go home. now.
