oh wow, government al jazeera with all this is al jazeera ah hello emerald matheson and this is the news are live from doha coming up in the next 60 minutes. i. 2 defying threats from the military protesters in me and mark mark one year since the coo, amnesty international accuses israel of apartheid, saying it's maintained a system of oppression and domination, or palestinians for decades. the greatest president promises to boost its armed

forces by a 100000 troops. is top diplomats from the u. s. and russia are due to hold another ride of talks. and little sign of celebration china plays down it's lunar new year festivities because of a rise in coven, 19 of rakes. i'm joining us raska with the sports woke up spots up for grabs on tuesday. saudi arabia can put their place at the finals in katha if they be japan, and again, know they sour ah, one year ago on this day, me and mars military deposed the nation civilian leaders and to power in a coo since then. security forces have cracked down on anyone who's opposed to the military takeover. ahead of that, you anniversary, police arrested dozens of people in an attempt to suppress plans for a nationwide strike tuesday. but major cities saw empty streets on the day. my

processors in mandolin city much earlier in the morning, counting banners and calling for democracy. residents of young gone, held a clapping protest later. according to local media, the military extended a state of emergency for another 6 months. it says it's needed to hold elections, and the united nations says it's looking into potential crimes against humanity committed by me and my security forces during the past year. or tony chains following developments from may sot it's on thailand's border with me and mark tony, just talk us through what's been happening over the last 24 hours or so in terms of the, the protest and the we've actually heard in the last couple of hours the little further to the north of minnesota in the, for the town of touchy legs. there was an attack this morning that had been a pro military march in the town. we understand from an eyewitness,

there was an explosion when a truck moved in the area and then gun there are fatalities being reported. it's not clear how many at this stage, and a number of injures, but also we're not entirely sure who attacked this. the supporters of the military . nonetheless, it is a very well it will be very disturbing for the minute. you touchy leg is a very important border crossing. a lot of trade go through. it's very much like me was the town you can see behind me. even in these areas, when there's a lot of fighting around these towns, these towns and secure the burmese military, want to protect the trade. that's going true to thailand. if those people who are opposed to the military coup informing over the process of the last 12 months and now able to get into these strongholds and fight openly there, i think it will be of real concern. and that's also, i think, what we're seeing all over the country,

not just in the border areas where the fighting is not uncommon. we're seeing it now in the center of ma'am are as well. the place of the military considered to be it's heartland and the impact to the military coup as well, is not just affecting the soldiers, the people fighting them, the ordinary people to to drive around me. i'm a cit, his everyday life might look like it's normal. but look, a little closer roads closed with barriers, barricaded, military positions, and uniformed soldiers on the streets. luckily, i saw the army. this tried to protest. after that, i was very afraid. that's why i'm scared to go out again. but there were more protests beside my house, so i joy if they feel safe, i, i will joy to protest. mamma has been ravaged by coven 19 in the past 12 months. the situation intensified after the military targeted medical workers

for their involvement and protests and a civil disobedience movement. many were arrested, others fled into hiding to day. even basic health care services are scarce. as alan, i think i won't forget that day dead hair walkers were arrested and she, they're very badly by the army. they even kate, a medicare student. thus why i will return to the hospital in the sit, his food remains plentiful. the prices have risen sharply elsewhere, supplies and production have run dangerously low. the world food program estimates it needs to provide food for 4000000 people across myanmar in 2022 full times. the number before the qu, the economy has gone into freefall, banks limit withdrawals and foreign investment has pulling out fast, and many people lose their jobs and it is embedding to the

the labor market. and also many people job less. but there are many job seekers getting the job, but be bait less than normal. even basic services like trains and buses of failing the nation wide rail network has ground to hold. after work has joined the civil disobedience movement and bus prices of tripled as operators abandon standardized rules. don't need to go here. in my opinion, if we get rid of army rule transport services would go back to normal with properly working buses, a normal ticket prices. historically that people have, ma'am, are used to military rule, but after a decade of progress and development, the last 12 months is leaving many feeling is if they are returning to the path. and there's real concern about the fighting, particularly the fuzzy. we've heard about in the last 6 weeks,

which has been very intense in these border areas, sometimes coming right up to the tire border, which has forced thousands of civilians to clear across the thailand. but we understand more than 400000 civilians have been forced to flee the homes inside the country and flee an army that seems dead set against waging war against its own people. tony, thank you very much. tony cheng on thailand's border with me and mar, i want to bring in dr. saucer. he's the union, minnesota of international cooperation and spokesman for the national unity government of me and law. he's joining us live. thank you very much indeed for being with us on all just 0, many members of the national unity government or the next i'll outside me inbox. how do you feel when you watch what's happening in your country? to day as we mark? very sad anniversary of one year of the co. the last,

the past 365 days has to be the days of that destruction's pain in the south, free and wholesale devastations across the nation's. many homes are be bonds. as a reserves want by to 1000000 people, mia more become homeless or hiding in a junker. it's including myself. and more than 6400000 people have no food to eat. half of my country populations are going to be under extreme poverty covina in crisis to a bonding across the nation. humanitarian crisis. these violence crisis and political crisis, which have killed powers and sov people in miramar, et god bless, are dying in starvation, exposer and diseases. just days,

no words to describe the level of these atrocities and crime against humanity committed by the military hunt that emma. a year ago, we saw protests which were out on the streets. there was violence on the streets of me and more now we're seeing clapping protests. we're seeing silent protests. are you concerned that the people in miramar are losing heart? this is the military institutions that become stayed with the state and declare the war on people of mamma. this is that the stroke are be turn, the tyranny and freedom. that is, is this truck good and bad, and evil, and justice, an injustice. so days of 54000000 people of mia my in what site is it had food made it that each and the rows in one side. but they have got too much weapons and they

have been discharging the last 265 days of bed, of fuel weapons that they bought from china ross shuns by the money that he stolen from the people. mamma, so the people of mir might have had no choice to leave or to die. so they chose to leave. that is to self defense themselves from been killed. we've heard repeated calls for a more international support for the people of me and more against the militia contact. we even got to the point where china is now voicing it's concerned about the level of violence in me in law. and yet nothing practically seems to be done at least publicly in terms of international support. how concerned are you? the world is actually willing to just let things happen in me and bar and essentially abandoned the people of mamma. exactly wrote me a ride. china has the power to stop these crime against humanity.

these conflated these chaos international go many d, have the power to stop if they take decisive actions. if it's not in a comedy day, take decisive actions on mere mom made it that a honda to day. these crisis will stop the crisis of gov in 90 in a memo was thought sure, many there in crisis will stop. political crisis will stop these crime against humanity was stop. that's why we are back ink to international community and to our neighbor. to come with accents because the military generals in miramar have survived too long. under the statements they door understands statements or woods. they are the stan actions that they when international community take actions or the military compare. that is the day where we were stalk these crime against

humanity committee. dame mitty, that it won't, that emir muh and the international co su, also less fat and accept the will of the people of mamma without the will of the people of mama, there is no future of mamma. we have no future with the minute that a generous any more. our future is inclusive fender. democracy of mamma. there is no ato way to peace. no other way to establish d at prosperity to me as democracies resto. just very briefly sir. there was a lot of international investment in me and more prior to the military content taking over. what do you think would be the tipping point? that would essentially force international communities international governments to step in to start taking an interest, taking some action to protect me and more or at least change the situation within

me and more forcefully. international culminate, the mass except the will of the people of mamma, by recognizing ne sooner unity government of mamma, elected by the people for the people of me and what is for step. secondly, totally reject. no, let me see for military hoopa, no accepting of the military hoopa bath bringing together coming together as a while international community. bringing gordon needed pocket that and powerful suction they include economy, saxons, holiday cossacks, and diplomatic sucks and mostly pot, deadly. finances must be cut off, weapon must be got of lead at the mercy must be cut off from the military junta. lawns. those 3 things are don. the chop is a dot in mere mac crisis dot, as i said, as always, we appreciate you joining us on our de 0. so thank you very much indeed for your

time. thank you for having me. thank you. kind of what i had on the news are including india's finance minister has unveiled this year's budget. find out what's in store for 1300000 people and it's for the warriors win again. thanks to another master class from steph curry action from the n b a. coming up with joe. ah, honestly, international is released to report calling israel and a pot height state over its treatment of palestinians. it says, policies of segregation, disposition, and exclusion show palestinians in israel and the occupied territories are treated as an inferior racial group. israel's called the report, false biased and anti semitic. it's not the act of violence. i have seen violence before. it is the cruelty of the system,

the intrigue kit evolving, administration of cold, cold disposition and inequality. the incredible detail to do or critique this young upon which that see stern is predicated it, she banality. and that time absurdity that as taken my breath away. oh that's good. how he forced his life and occupied east jerusalem. agnes cut him out there describing the system as the she puts it as cruel and banal. that's right. yes. this is the 3rd such report just in the last year coming from a non governmental organizations, the 1st from an israeli rights group at salem last year. then cain human rights watch. and now amnesty international. the thing that correlates between all 3 of

these reports is that they use this definition of a party to describe what is happening to palestinians who live under israeli control. whether that be in the occupied territories, whether that be here and occupied east jerusalem. whether it be in israel proper and what they're saying in this report, amnesty is that they had taken 4 years to do field work to do legal research. and to really characterize the entirety of a huge array of systems, both legal and military and economic and social that discriminates systematically against palestinians living under israeli control. and they say that this does meet the definition of a party faith, appealing to the israeli government, to dismantle that system, to dismantle the discriminatory policies in terms of putting people into enclaves, are forcing people from homes and the kind of military actions taken, taking place in the occupied west bank and in garza and they say that this is

something that needs to be addressed by the international community. there is of course both. and i see see investigation underway. there is as well as that a un inquiry as well. so i think this is very clearly part of pressure for, for these sorts of issues to be addressed in those areas as well. now as far as the israeli government is concerned, it has put forward a 2 tone sort of more in sorrow than in anger, saying that it didn't want to use the word anti semitism when it heard that this report was on its way. however, it says it can drone draw no other conclusion, but to cool at that, it says the very nature of the conclusions drawn that the entirety of the jewish state is working to discriminate against palestinians is a meeting of the definition. under the i h r, a definition of anti semitism in terms of calling the jewish state a, a racist,

a sort of enterprise. that's something that in turn, was rejected by agnes. callum are saying that she and the organization supports jewish self determination. they recognize the right of israel to exist. they fight anti semitism wherever they meet it. and this is a way to divert attention against some of the conclusions that they're drawn higher . thank you very much indeed. that's harry fossil talking to us from occupied easter room in the room from want to bring in the the ever came. she's live for us from the jordan valley is how he was mentioning there. this is just the latest and a series of reports, which have been critical of the procedures used by israel to palestinians. find that these reports make any difference to their lives. it's very important that the international community start using the word upper tides when it comes to reality in palestine and how people are living because it shuts light more on how severe and cruel as to cause agnes color more in the press conference. the system

is often you numerous organizations and always use this word to describe what has been happening here. and they were saying all along that israel is employing to system for 2 people based on ethnic city. as you can see here, behind me, there is an illegal re settlement that houses are on 300 is really but then year it is how senior village of it is in the occupied to a 2nd. it has 2000 people. the disparity between the 2 entities is huge, but even the, this land that the settlement occupies is much bigger. it keeps on expanding, while these people here do not have even permits to build their land. there's an infrastructure, a road that goes to the 2nd within a fraction of that goes to file city and if i mean so as many palestinians would

tell you, it's good that there. 2 are more and more international organizations. hi and lighting that reality under occupation, but they will more from the international community and from western states to put pressure on israel to end this need. abraham, thank you very much. indeed. the ukraine is trying to recruit a 100000 armed forces personnel over the next 3 years. but in his parliamentary address, president loading me on the landscape, also called him politicians, not to so panic about the threat of a russian invasion us secretary of state and russia. foreign minister are expected to speak in a few hours. on monday, the un security council met for the 1st time to discuss the russian troops build up . today, the united nations, we've laid out the full nature of russia's threat to ukraine sovereignty and the territorial integrity of ukraine, as well as the core tenants of a rural based international order. and we,

we continue to urge diplomacy as the best way forward. but with russia is continuing to build up of its forces around ukraine. we are ready, no matter what happens. a lot of nigel, moscow, and a door such about a door. so all the pressure seems to be coming from the west and from nato. what's the reaction in moscow? well, they remain very much within their own rhetoric in their own position. they've maintained the line that this country has absolutely no interest in invading ukraine. the russian ambassador to their un last night made it very clear that this rhetoric is what he's called, a megaphone diplomacy coming from the united states. and it's not conducive to the diplomatic efforts that are ongoing to try to deescalate the tensions now where things stand that the moments the russians have made some demands from the u. s. government and nato, about security guarantees,

legally binding security guarantees that they're looking for here about the future of nato. and the concern that the kremlin has about nato expanding further eastwards. the americans responded with a written answer last week, and that answer was taken to russian president vladimir putin on thursday. he is still studying the russians response. he's not made up his mind how to proceed. there were some reports on monday that the russians have responded to the americans, but that those reports are not being denied by the deputy russian foreign minister, alexander goosgo, who says that the russians have not responded to the americans counter proposals about security concerns. as country has and that, that decisions are still being made. we expect that russian president, who has already said that their response, they have from the americans do not address the core issue. and the main concern that the russians have about nato's it further expansion. they want the 30 member alliance to go back to the 1997 numbers of members,

which was 14 countries less than what it is at the moment. they also want guarantees that ukraine will not join, because they believed that to be a security concern for this country. they don't want nato troops alongside russia's border. they say the concern that the west has about the number of troops russia has alongside the western border of this country with ukraine is not new. that there are many mill. terry outposts alongside that border and the number of troops have not drastically increased. they are just carrying out military drills as they have done in the past. and there was even bigger exercises taken place last april. and at that time the russian officials say there was not this much concern. so they believed that there's this kind of rhetoric and false information coming from the united states with the aim of trying to dis, destabilized rushes, relationship with ukraine. something the official say will not happen, but they're also taking exercises. muth, her drills taking place to the north of this country with bella. ruth,

there will be joint military drills. they're taking place from february 10th for 10 days. and the russians say that was at the request of the bell, russian government, because they want to increase their security alongside their own borders. so there is a sense that russia is very much maintaining its stance, and they are not going to give into any kind of demands or a rhetoric that is coming from the west. but we're still waiting to find out what vladimir putin will decide to do next. and of course, the russian foreign minister survey love rob will be speaking to as american counterpart on the phone later on tuesday. and we'll find out what the 2 men will discuss in terms of how to move things forward, dosage a body in moscow door. so thank you. or ukraine's eastern region of them yet skidded, struggling with soaring prices. 7 years after it was seized by russian backed separatists. as charles trav ford reports, those little relief for residents with tensions at an all time high. which is a retired coal line of his pro russia in his politics. but he says people have faced

increased economic hardship since most go back separatists took control of the region 7 years ago. you know portfolio. now leslie's prices have increased rather than oils. the fruits maintenance utility bills at the local authorities increased our pensions by 20 percent. recently, some prices have risen by 70 percent. there are no jobs. young can only find work through nepotism. even the price of some fish is increased because since ukraine found a trade with what it describes is the occupied territories in 2017 march of it has to be imported via russia. market traders have to pay higher transport costs and import duty. it's the same story with most of these products made in russia and bell roost. moodle move, i think, just to give you a holler. many people have love to russia, ukraine, and abroad looking for work. i used to have regular customers,

but not now by you. the trains from ukraine government controlled areas have run on these tracks. for years. the currency was changed from ukraine in griffon to the russian rouble. in 2015 is estimated. moscow spends more than a $1000000000.00 a year supporting the separatist control region of demette sc. amongst which was disconnected from the international banking system. when the separatists took control, people could only send and receive roubles to and from banks in russia. the coal industry was the decades. the regions life blood, most of the mines are in separatist control, territory have says, what it describes as ukraine's stolen natural resource is finding its way on to international markets for russia. something russia denies. hundreds of businesses have been destroyed, abandoned, or have gone bankrupt since the complex started in 2015 the pro russia separatists

. and then ukranian government signed what became known as the minsk 2 agreement. it was a deal that aimed at achieving peace and lasting political settlement to the conflict . the 7 years later, not a single one of the 13 articles in that agreement has been fully implemented. there are many ukrainian politicians that say that mints too, is to waited in the favor of the separatists. and they were afraid that if it was fully implemented, that could potentially give russia a greater hand in ukrainian affairs. last year, ukrainian president followed me as lensky said, he wanted to change the minsk agreement international back as insist, the deal must be honored by both sides. mo, political agreement means the economy cannot recover. so the separatist government say the economy is gradually improving, and russian investment is helping. in november,

president putin signed the decree allowing russians to legally buy goods produced here for continue when the printed note at the end of the war. and the recognition of the dpr would of course contribute to the development of the economy. military action has affected the region, not to mention the business infrastructure of the outflow of expertise and economic blockade by ukraine that destroyed our financial system. but we're now managing to reestablish that system. but with a little sign of an end to the conflict, financial security for victor, he's friends and millions of people liked them, remains in doubt. cha strafford i was his era don't ask. so they had on al jazeera, from the catwalk to the louvre art galleries. and paris are paying tribute to a french fashion icon and 2002 semi final south korea close in on a place of the world cup in cut out. that's coming up with joe in the sport. ah.

pouring rain and humidity for spots in australia. hello, everyone, good to see you. so the rain still come in through western, australia's kimberly region rate through the interior. look at the difference in temperature is for the se, we've got that southerly buster, but brisbin at $35.00, thunderstorms will eventually scoot in here. that's going to cool the atmosphere 28 degrees on thursday. look at that $25.00 for friday. so that's actually below average pouring rain for new zealand. south island, this well mostly be contained toward the southern lp's. wellington, it's got a high of 24 degrees on wednesday. se stager around indonesia is the islands here including java in the zone. we've seen rain fall amounts of about 60 to 75 millimeters of rain. but i want to take you to an area have some concern about that for the southern philippines. is this batch of what weather moves in this is on

wednesday. let's press play. see where goes on thursday and some soaking brains to be expected for the devout region. still saw the bands of rain for a se, china, this is plaguing hong kong, some rain and snow across the yangtze river valley. and speaking of snow, a new record set for northwest honcho. look at this $432.00 centimeters of so on the ground in january. and we'll add to it on february as there is more snow coming at you on wednesday. that's it. susan. ah, what we do, and i'll just theera is try to balance this story and leave the people who allow it into their lives, dignity, and humanity. the corona virus has been indiscriminate in selecting its victims. it's devastating effects of plague, every corner of the globe, transcending class creed and color. but in britain, a disproportionately high percentage of the fallen have been black or brown skins.

the big picture traces the economic disparities and institutional racism that is seen united kingdom fail, it citizens britain's true colors, part one on al jazeera, the 35th meeting of the african union will see heads of states discuss cobit 19 in the conflict in ethiopia. with climate change, but keener fatso and other west african coups high on the agenda. can they deliver a unified response to the regents mounting challenges? special coverage on al jazeera. ah ah, what you, how to set a reminder about top stories?

this, our dozens of arrests have been made in miramar, on the 1st anniversary of the military coup demonstrators among the late march to demand democracy. despite his government threats against organizing protests, amnesty international is released to report calling israel. i am a part height state over its treatment of palestinians. it says, policies of segregation, this possession and exclusion show, palestinians are treated as an inferior racial group. you are secretary of state and russian. foreign ministers are set to discuss the ukraine crisis. it follows monday security council meeting, where moscow and washington accused each other of spreading misinformation. you can't, government says prime minister barak johnson can't answer questions about the so called potty gates scandal because of a police investigation. on monday, johnson was forced to apologize after an independent report found serious feelings of leadership and said parties held that the prime minister's official residence to

locked hands should not have been allowed to happen. well, let's bring in andrew simmons who's out down the street in london for us. how's it looking for, bobby johnson, not after this report. good question though. as far as his party is concerned, he did incredibly badly in the commons on monday, just not really getting to the point saying, sorry, but then acting as if he wasn't an effectively being somewhat bombastic in the way he approached. the whole thing of the issue is that these su gray report was only 12 pages long. when she'd got 500 pages of evidence and 300 photographs, all of it with the metropolitan police. and that is the key issue because that police inquiry has delayed the su gray. a report in the sense that it can't get to the point, it can't get to any fats. the question now is how long will that police investigation

last? will this issue go away because johnson is fighting for his political survival here? how long will it be before that report comes out? he's banking on it taking a long time. he's banking on this whole thing going away, kicking the can down the road, so to speak. but as far as the m p 's are concerned, they met on monday night a party conservative and empties part of a meeting. and they actually discussed in detail his situation. and he was running round and mentioning that he'd gone. he had cove himself nearly lost his life that he empathize with every one concerned in terms of the public. but really the true picture is or no, ah, the m p 's talk he it up in the hope that they can get some some buoyancy. again, politically right now, things are looking very, very bumpy. indeed for boris johnson,

we were talking earlier in the program about the situation on the border with ukraine and, and russia, dot morris johnson is planning to go to ukraine. later on today you were mentioning that he is hoping to deflect any attention from what's going on back in the u. k. his had likely to do so. well, it wouldn't be like to be a fly on the wall of a cabinet meeting. it's just happened here, and morris johnson will now be going to you, craig, a, he'll be speaking to vladimir zion ski, the ukranian president. he has got a lot to discuss. he's prepared to put millions of dollars on the table in terms of support for ukraine in terms of a defense, armaments and weaponry. at the claim is the britain is providing more than any other nato ally in the way of hardware to ukraine, less trust the foreign minister was supposed to be with him as she outlined new sanctions against russia. if it fails to actually pull back from where it is right now with this threat of invasion of those sanctions aiming at oligarchs in the city

of london, in particular, where there is a huge amount of dirty money being used for investments and for in real estate and, and a whole other few areas. but coming back to the point if far is johnson is hoping that ukraine can distract the british. people from the issue of, of sanctions, of busting, of locked down part is at $112.00 of them under investigation 16 in all, su gray on able to actually get to the points of her own admission in her report. the issue will be her see, call the full report. every one is demanding that not just the opposition, but particularly the conservative m. p. 's. want to see that full report. when will it come? that will be the decisive point for boris johnson. and the situation now is that this whole scandal is going into a 3rd month. if it goes on for more and more months, the could be some chances thing could be kicked into the long grass for johnson.

but if it rears its ugly head again, within a matter of weeks, it could be the end for him. i do thank you very much. and sandra simmons talking to some downing street in london, i want to bring in patrick diamond, he's a professor and public policy at queen mary university of london. thank you very much. indeed for being with us on al jazeera. what do you think the morris johnson's political future looks like now compared to say a week ago? well, it still looks clearly very uncertain because the house, the gray or hanging over him as was just said, we've only have a very partial version of that report published. there were clearly many more revelations come, but i don't think the prime minister's position is as powerless as some commentators that depicted it because conservative m p 's and the majority half of the moment decided to stick with him. party cuz i see him as a winner, but also because i don't say what the old tentative is so well that his position is weak. it is not, i think yet time to write. or as johnson is political victory,

boris johnson's promise to shake up, and he's also promised to publish su graves report in full once the police investigation is over and done with how much do you think that is going to contribute to staving off a leadership challenge or is this just pushing what some might see as the inevitable further down the road? i think it's his task tickets to play for time. he's trying to keep taking the cam down the road. it does, of course, in one sense, prolong the amount of speculation about this issue. but on the other hand, it doesn't, maple him to diffuse it on bars. johnson will have to move on to new if she's on his agenda. he's publishing this week, plans around leveling up the u. k. he's also coffee intervening. but he was saying you're already a report. as regards the situation in ukraine, so parked on some of the events that he's adding capacity to move the agenda wrong, will mean by the time the gray report is published in full and we see the bush,

the verdicts, metropolitan police, in a sense, the country he will hope has move on from this issue. johnson has a reputation, of course, as being able to get out from under a tremendous number of very difficult situations. in your opinion, what do you think would be for those of us watching on the outside, what would be the, the tipping point if you like that we would see publicly that would mean that bar as johnson has to leave office? well, if he were to face a criminal prosecution, then i think the consensus with the conservative party would be that his position would have become untenable. beyond the issue is due, the conservatives believe they have a better chance of winning the next general election with boris johnson. remaining as leaders, prime minister, or should they switch to a new leader for the moment that decision is to some extent in the balance, but they're sticking with forrest johnson because he won them

a big majority in december 2090. and they had a pulse of me against him, but haven't yet done, said decisively. in addition to that they haven't agreed among themselves who the best alternative is. would it be the chancellor? she's not going to be the foreign secretary in this trust. there's no real consent among the talking back benches about that question. so for the moment the momentum is still with boris johnston. he still has much to play for and despite the powerlessness of his position, and he may well still live to survive. this crisis, patrick diamond is professor and public policy at cream every university of london . we appreciate you being on i'll just see to so thank you very much. indeed. the u . s. is designated cut out a major non nato ally. it was announced at a meeting between president joe biden, a caught as a mere shake tom and been homage attorney while the white house on monday alan fisher reports from washington dc. a warm welcome and bitterly cold washington day for the 1st gulf leader to visit the white house since joe biden took over. cutter
