back to their work and defend the country. the army has suffered several defeats against arm groups linked to al qaeda and i thought they appeared to be gaining ground, forcing millions to flee towards the capital. soldiers seized power on monday by attacking the president's motorcade. the troops blame president, hot mac eh, boy, and his civilian government for military defeats and increasing insecurity. the president announced his resignation in a hand written note. it's not known where he is though french president emmanuel mccord told reporters tuesday that he's been informed. cavalry is in good health. the u. n. and west african regional organization echo us are urging the president's immediate release, their calling on the soldiers who mich near to return to their barracks. my appeal is for the armies of these countries to assume their professional role of armies to protect their countries and re establish democratic institutions. just in the past year, they have been coups in chad, sudan, molly,

and guinea. let's say this is the latest co in a region marked by military takeover as well. this is a said back to democracy. some see the military as able to succeed, where civilians have failed in bringing back security in a region marked by violence. despite the 14000 un peacekeepers and neighboring molly as well as 5000 you and french soldiers in the region, that's a hell is facing unprecedented attacks and losses. became of us who were spared until 2015, when a popular uprising ended the 27 year rule, a former soldier less compelling that was seen as the beginning of the rest, while some now celebrate the qu, others fear a return to the past. this is an abrupt end to thee democracy, so many here had fought for nicholas hawk al jazeera the car. now in the united kingdom and internal report to the lead gatherings health by the government in violation of cave in 1900 rules is due to be published very soon that it could be

crucial for prime minister boris johnson, who faced the peas in just a few hours time, the london metropolitan police also investigated with any criminal offenses, were committed more than a dozen gatherings and such have taken place, including a birthday party for the prime minister. let's close have it to pull. brandon, he's outside dining street in london poll. we've been talking about the pressure on the prime minister for several weeks now, but can we just clarify the status of the su gray report looking into those breaches of cove at 19 rules, downing street because the police have not confirmed they are investigating as well as part of that potential report that may or may not have been handed to the by me . what is the official line at the moment? well, it did the, the, the official line at the moment is that number 10 has not yet received. sue grays, internal investigation into the events here at downing street some at least 17 parties that we know of that took place here at the height of lockdown in 2020. and

but there are briefing, encounter briefing as to exactly what the timing of the release of that report could be. now yesterday we were being told that it could be released last night that tuesday night. and in fact, it wasn't. and because there was a, a, an argument essentially between labor, the speaker of the parliament and danny streets over exactly how it should be released and where the labor should get advanced sight of it so that they could digest it. and then be able to question the prime minister when he gives a statement in front of parliament. so it now appears that since down the street hasn't got it yet, it's highly unlikely that we're going to have a statement from boris johnson after prime minister's questions at around 1 o'clock this afternoon. that said, it's still entirely possible the report could land on the danny street desk some time to day and a statement might be possible later on today. now, it's all up in the, at the, at the exact notion of it just isn't clear at all. i'm and, but it, it is a really crucial 48 hours today and tomorrow, for the prime minister,

who has been battling on several fronts in order to try and bolster up his job and even maintain his credibility, not just with his back ventures. and his parliamentary party, but also with the why the country who are exasperated by these drip drip drip of revelations about what been going on here in apparent contradiction to the restrictions that everybody else was operating under. during those early months of 2020 uncles party, gators, it's known in the u. k. press is certainly taking precedence over the issues of the day. and the topics that people at home in the u. k. actually won't discuss, such as you know, a cove it or restrictions or mandates which are going to be lifted, how you go to improve the economy and the state of fuel bills and fuel accessibility. these are issues at all being sort of put to the back burner, so to speak. well, this is one of the, both the whales of the forest loyalists, but also the criticisms of the government being in this predicament. first of all,

that the complaints of johnson's loyalists are that look, there are bigger things to talk about here than whether he got a birthday cake presented to him. ambushed by cake was what one loyalist said at yesterday on his birthday. on june the 19th of 20. 20. surely we should be talking about the cost of living crisis. the fact that fuel bills are going up, the tensions that we have with you credit over ukraine are between nato and russia at the moment. they are surely far bigger than whether or not this constituted a party or not. but the critics of boris johnson, i say look the fact that the government is allowing itself to be bogged down by this issue and it, and this issue is certainly overshadowing all the other big geo political issues around europe at the moment. certainly here in the u. k, that in itself is an indication of forest johnson really may make me really need to consider his position or whether he is what should be staying in the job or get more clarity im shores of the day progresses with you paul. thanks so much, paul brennan, there for us at downing street no november last year out. they reported on the case

of one young kurdish man who survived freezing temperatures in the forest between poland and by the roots. now he was 1000. so arrived on the eas borders, believing he could find a better life, but they were met with a tough response from polish authorities of correspond journal returned to the board to find him. and his story blew you away in these woods and you could be wandering for days yet even deep winter doesn't discourage them. border guard video is said to show some of the dozens of attempts still being made each day to cross from bel ross into poland. and the european union for the few that make it an unpleasant welcome awaits indefinite detention in crowded, militarized barracks with bod, windows and limited access to the outside world. less asylum seekers than prisoners and a breach of international law can pick a camp is like

a prison and does not represent europe. most of the people he came from that countries because of the pain. they shouldn't be abused. the 2nd time, it's like torture. that was the voice of alarmed ahmed, hama, a kurdish refugee who had hoped to reach his mother living in the u. k. we 1st met holland in a polish hospital in december, in obvious distress, having been rescued in the forest and welcome home. but he was taken away shortly afterwards by the border gods, despite pleased by human rights activist, monica full cosca, that he be given. mental health support, alarmed was detained. his will upset promotionally a 2nd me sunday in the mural limits is very upset to be in a place like that. she doesn't fully understand it. he knows that he cross the border illegally when he doesn't understand why he finds himself in conditions like that. up to

a in 100 detained asylum seekers. in 8 camps of launched hunger strikes and sometimes violent protests over conditions. the polish government says this is why they are locked up in the 1st place, aid agencies call it a deliberate policy of deterrence. my name is run out and i want with maybe he to ended up in detention. this isn't worse than what is on the call, you know, even on and then, you know, when you get out, you can make sure you're in. you can, you know, if you have access to a patient that can come in here and there's, nobody can come here and you don't know when you can well, and that's the borderline over there. through that gap in the forest on the other side, bell roost where several 100 people remain of the few 1000. that last year, belarus actively encouraged to break into opponent of the european union. it

touched off a geo, political, and humanitarian crisis. that's no longer making headlines around the world, but is no less of an old deal for those still involved. they will surely now know that the promise both of easy entry into the e u, and that it would accept them. where lies jonah, how al jazeera, near the poland, pedal rous border. now in the netherlands, restaurants, theaters, museums on cinemas. all reopening, defies wave of infections blamed on the overcoat buried prime minister mark, which says the moves in response to what he called great tensions over a lockdown imposed on december. the 18th. the restriction sparked weeks of protests, cases have continued to rise with about 60000 being recorded each day. and cases also get up and bunker thong nuts. prompted officials in the northwestern city of the shower to impose the so called smart lockdown. people in neighborhoods are selectively restricted, depending on the test results. last week,

the country reported the highest number of daily infections since the pandemic began australia, celebrating its national de, but protest of also being held against some called invasion day. january the 26 months the day the 1st british fleet arrived in 178080, create a penal colony, a growing number of australia, and say, the commemoration should be scraps. now they argue colonization lead to oppression abuse and genocide of indigenous people for o'clock has more from brisbin. these rallies, they take place every year around the country. that's happening once again in 2022 d. c. we have some of those relative had to be cancelled simply due to the, the social distances regulation and the, the co outbreaks. but the ones that have gone online, but we take a large number together. we think i'm already in sydney, summit brisbin and other capital cities and the rally that is not just addressing the concerns about the date of the study is public holiday, but they're also addressing the concerns about the indigenous australians and that

the indigenous australians were. the 1st arrivals, not the brit, not the 11 ship a fleet of 11 convict ships derived in 1788. and this year the rallies got other issues which they, including in these protests around the country and pushing for issues like indigenous rights. at the end of a black this in custody and child removal. i should also note that the 50th anniversary is the original set up of the aboriginal and embassy and camera. people have visited cameras will know that that tenant has been it had old thomas now that 50 years, but only 17 when the 11 compet arrive and the critic side also mark that the 1st day of the genocide against aboriginal people and toss right on. as i should say, the mid the rallies, we've got to see the mental is building with more more people support this and this year expecting more people together, those protests around the country. well, it is also celebrate the republic day with a large scale military parade. thousands of people turned on for the ceremony,

despite it being paid back because of the pandemic. the event marks the anniversary of the creation of the country's constitution back in 1950. ah, what you'll have to say with me, so he'll run the reminder of our top stories. the u. s. is concerned, it's in talks of gas exporters to supply europe is concerned. russia could cut supplies, the event of conflict with ukraine. the mayor of cattle is expected to discuss energy during talks at the white house on monday. russia's military is making inspections to ensure troops are combat ready. it's been holding drills along the border with ukraine, adding crimea and belarus. it follows nato's announcing that it said dig reinforcements to eastern europe. there will be enormous consequences if he were to.
