focused on education, knocked mitigation on air or online at your voice. it shouldn't be explaining that what that look, what not is doing right now is doing everything that is going to benefit them more revealing new perspectives like getting without a proportion. no, no. his reach and has power is what is disproportionate. the stream where a global audience becomes a global community on al jazeera. ah, you as far as cabal star brittany crime has been released by russia and a prisoner swamp. ah, until mccrae, this is al jazeera live from doha, also coming up political upheaval in peru. dena bottle water is sworn in as president after the impeachment and arrest of pedro castillo. the great migration. we look at how climate change and madagascar is forcing people to find new places

to live and completing the package. we look at we a multi $1000000.00 of world cup merchandising is coming from. ah. we saw with breaking news on the release of american basketball player, brittany corona, from a russian prison. u. s. president joe biden says she is safe and on her way home. griner was freed in the united arab emirates as part of a pest prisoner swap. the 2 time olympic gold medalist was convicted an august of smuggling and possessing cannabis. she was sentenced to 9 years in jail after mont being unjustly detained in russia, held under and tolerable circumstances, pretty will soon be back in the arms of her loved ones and. and she should have been there all along. this is a day we've worked toward for

a long time. we never stopped pushing for her release. it took painstaking intense negotiations and i want to thank all the hard work in public service across my ministration, who work tirelessly to secure a release or kimberly hell kit, join us now from the white house. and kimberly barton also said that the negotiating team had been working on this the month. so do we know what got it over the line now? the way house is still not saying what exactly the breakthrough was only that this has been something that has been in the works for some time. the high level negotiations going back 4 months even seemed like there was a bit of a breakthrough, potentially in july only to see that stalled when the white house put forward a proposal. but then it was, it responded to by russia and that response, according to the white house, was not sincere. and so there was once again a stall in those negotiations. what the white house is always maintained is that

the punishment did not fit the crime that brittany greiner admitted that when she was detained as a result of her rec arrest in moscow for carrying trace amounts of cannabis oil in her luggage. that the sentence of 9 and a half years in a very hard labor at a penal colony in russia was disproportionate. they feel that she was used as a political pon, given the fact that when she was arrested in february, that was around the same time that the russian invasion of ukraine occurred. and so as they feel that that was very much an intertwined case. still there is this breakthrough now. the fact that there was this prisoner swap in exchange for victor bowed. he is a convicted arms dealer. he has been serving a 25 year sentence in a federal prison here in the united states. this is now and are way out,

but there is some criticism here in the united states that in fact, this is somewhat disproportionate, given the fact that this is an exchange of a convicted arms dealer for a basketball star. and the question becomes now that this could potentially encourage and put a price on american lives moving forward. still right now, there is a lot of celebration. this was something that was announced to retweet the u. s. president. he released and made this announcement on twitter releasing a photo of himself along with brittany grinders wife, charel, and the vice president cobbler harris. speaking to brittany griner. she was on board an airplane to the united arab emirates. as speaking to her congratulating her on her release, she is expected to be back in the united states within 48 hours. okay, kimberly hell could. thank you very much for that update ali hush him hes the lightest from moscow on the release of russian alms dealer, victor boot. victor bought was arrival in moscow. still

a matter of conflicting reports. we don't know yet if he lived or not. the foreign ministry say, said he, i've now we have just saying that he's on his way. about, according to the forwards he was known, natoya dealer involved in d. o, z from africa congo to live out to yawn. at 2 of one is on level on several places where he was involved in deals and he was arrested in 2008 in file. and the 5 police arrested him in coordination with the u. s. authorities, he was taken to the u. s. where he was sentenced to 25 years. now this the, the, the swap that took place hours ago, it seems, it was dawn and it was mediated by 2 regional countries in the middle east.

saudi arabia and the u. s e and just yesterday, a call the phone call between president vladimir putin. osha and the you. a president mohammed, i've been invited to place and it seems the de la finalize this act quite explains why the wife of victor boot and his mother say now that the till 2 days ago, they never knew about a deal to release him. now, despite the conflict and reports that we mentioned about his ivan victim who is going to be in russia within the coming minutes hours, we don't know, but he's going to be here. and this page is going to be folded. was staying with this story, and william courtney is an a junk senior fellow with the rand corporation who served as what health senior director for russia. ukraine and you ration affairs and is a former us ambassador to georgia. he joins us now from washington. d. c. thank you

very much for being on al jazeera. can you just give us, 1st of all, when the idea of what goes into a prisoner's swap like this, just, how difficult would it have been to get over the line? it normally is not quite so difficult, but because relations are very strained out with moscow. both sides have been concerned about what might be the reaction to giving up a certain prisoner the united states. victor boot the scene as a harden criminal international pro. busy but he served most of his sentence already a little bit easier to, to give up. if he were at the beginning of a sentence, then that might be politically difficult for the white house to do that because of part line opposition. in the period we had a number of trades in which pardon spies were traded for human rights advocates in the soviet union. so it's kind of an equal trade and that's what this one is as well. so you think it is a trade trade the works,

but it's not fair in the sense of the russians are not giving up a hardened us criminal. they're giving up a person who should have been arrested in the 1st place. do you think that this shows that russia is open to negotiating with us or, or should this just be taken in isolation? others should be taken at i solution. this will not have an impact most likely on how the russians. busy approach conducting the war and their great. okay. but, and also spoke about another us citizen still to time the poor wayland. why is his case different to brittany crime is the russians very concerned that if they, except of the u. s. proposal to give up to the prisoners paul re amber grider in return for only victor boots. that can be criticized by hard ladders. russia

for an unequal trait. so in the end, the russians fill it, forced by the ministration to make a confession, to give up on the whole paul, violet, and just have a one for one exchange. okay. and obviously did you, you were involved in this transfer. how significant is that, that they play such a strong role in negotiating between the us and russia? are typically the past, there's not been a need for intermediaries, but right now relations are so tense that evidently come on, wanted to, to have such an intermediary. you know, obviously we saw a bite and holding press conference earlier. is this a big win for him to get this over the line? do you think it certainly is. there's a when there will be some who criticize for giving up victor booth but by an artist

this will be seen as a when the confession about leaving paul whalen for another. busy that won't be a concession. that hurts him too much. okay, william cooney, thank you so much for your insight to this william courtney with the rand corporation from washington d. c. thank you. well, 2 other stories now in peru we're dina blue has been sworn and as interim leader after congress and peach president pedro castillo, and he was arrested just hours after saying he would dissolve congress by presidential decree and move. the constitutional court said with a crew to tar marianna sanchez has the latest from lima a day of hall drama video with vice president, he never knew out of the been sworn in the country leader. nissan. pedro castillo dissolved congress by presidential decrease and moved. the country's constitutional court said was a, could a talk with you. as a result,

he quickly lost the backing of his political allies, geography, and i went, went, bought a lot. a co attempt has been made an initiative laid by mr. pedro castillo. it was not echoed by any democratic institutions or the people following on from the constitutional order. this congress has made a decision, and it's my duty to act accordingly. it was congress's 3rd impeachment attempt to oust castillo. he tried to save himself with a bold move door maslow, this is young, will temporarily digital congress and establish an exceptional emergency government while calling for elections for a new congress, him up and drafting a new constitutional ah, he then went even further ordering the military to patrol the streets with a nighttime curfew, but as lawmakers began voting for the impeachment castillo left. the presidential palace with his family. police say he was going to request political asylum in mexico, but instead he was arrested. he supporters clashed with police outside the station

where she was held throughout his presidency. castillo had constant confrontations with the political opposition. he was even expelled from his own party. now lawmakers say they want to work with a new precedent get weighing our own wing i. we knew that she should come with a cabinet that helps to deal with problem is not ministers who will only praise her . i mean, you know, a lot of the is the 1st female precedent of be due. she has asked peruvians for unity and lawmakers for a truce. hell, he is more from marianna sanchez and lima. her 1st step will be to name a prime minister that will be to the likings and that to help build bridges with congress. it's very difficult to govern, improve without congress, and that's the main tough. that's it. you know, a lot of that will have to, to, to do between today and tomorrow and also name her minister people

who will not only be from the, from the capital, but also from the highlands that amazon the south outside of, of the center of the capital now she has no alliances in congress. she was expelled from the same party that brought you to power. so she has build those alliances now . but for now, what she has done, she is she met with prove archbishop, the catholic church has a lot of power. and so, and that have been her 1st moved for unity. still ahead on al jazeera trades unions, intro lanka, get involved and nationwide. protests against the rising cost of living. ah, anticipation is rising. and so is the atmosphere. are you ready

with sponsored my cattle anyways? hello, we've got some right in the forecast, but doha rover. the next day or so, we got this bad class snipping further south, was gusty winds associated with that as well. if there is any brain, there isn't actually going to be too much to worry about. but i think the main thing you will notice is how it freshen up over the next couple of days. friday, $25.00 degrees celsius could be struggling to get to $23.00. on saturday with that brisk shamal wind like that lifted dust and sand, said he, somebody to watch out for they go, you may see one or 2 bits and pieces of rain. the central parts of saudi arabia, maybe the to western areas of iraq to the north of that it is dry and sunny south of that again. last year, dry and sunny dry. i'm sorry to of course, much of north africa. but we have got some right here as well, just spilling across sir morocco, easing out of the i be replenished, this nasty little area of low pressure here affecting spain and portugal and wet weather, just trailing in there. so that could lead to some localized flooding. few shower santa northern areas of algeria,

much of north africa try and fight dust hayes. they're just coming out in the jail to northern parts of nigeria. wanted to shout around the gulf of guinea journey up with the main showers through the tropical bout big down. pause there, rumbling away across that democratic republic of congo, easing down towards most and big and quite a scattering a shout to for south africa to with sponsored by cat on a ways. ah, oh hm. mm mm. mm, mm. mm

. oh, you're watching l g here a reminder of our top story is the cell american basketball player, brittany gridable soon be back in the us off to being released from a russian prison. the 2 time olympic gold medalist was freed as part of a prisoner swap. and peru has sworn and dean up a lot. they, as president to off to pietro castillo, was impeached by congress and detained. he was arrested just al, was off to saying he would dissolve congress by presidential decree. but germany says it expects more arrests and reads in connection with the far right plot to overthrow its government. police raided 130 sides across the country. on wednesday, the prosecutor general says 25 people would attain for planning to violently seize

control of parliament. a soldier, a judge, and a russian national are among those. arrested is the c shortish fuss, but it's not really comprehensible. you hear about such plans in other countries, but for this to happen outside my front door, the government we have is not ideal, but probably better than what they had planned as it is. i 9 shot. it's a shock that our neighbor organized a put you at fire wrote radicals with doze. let me call them fascists. quite honestly, i'm shocked at this prince things. he has the right to do something like this, against a democratic rule of law. it's wise to be honest, i have no words. it's so far away from what i personally believe. so i find it hard to grasp how your focus is a professor of political science at the free university of berlin. he says, not enough attention has been paid to far right. movements and germany in europe. the perception, as we have to be aware and to fear about the stability of democracies

and, and again, this, german democracy is stable, although they have to be more attention get attention on these groupings. they didn't do it up to the last 2 or 4 years. think about the acw, the national socialist underground. they didn't perceive it, they didn't see it. they didn't come to terms with it for a long period of time. only since the last 2 to 4 years, the leading the leading persons in the security institutions are aware and taking action like yesterday. so that's a good time for me to defend democracy with respect to the far right. all in nearly all the vest and european states, we have this growing tendency, but the democratic majority is fight them back except the situation in italy.

treads unions, intro lanka, leading several protests against the spiraling cost of living. it follows president renella work from a single decision to privatize some state institutions. true anchor has been going through its worst economic crisis and decades. at least $22000000.00 people are struggling to pay for essential goods. no, fernandez has more from colombo and another day of protest here in the chicago colombo, what you see is telecom and state insurance workers belonging to trade unions who are taking them to the street. i brought it, they said that government is on a centrally at project a range of diverse state institutions to sell profit making institution were not that shouldn't be held by the state. now the government says that there is no other option given the economic crunch, but all of these people and that sort of why did a cross section they represented. this is not the case. go for the con group on

burke for the new job. it was on august the name of fargo and my job to logon wanted vendor, and obviously what brought people out under the 3000 number of the router, privatizing the job. you shouldn't, it's about the mismanagement of the economy that has created this price of angel anchor about the cost of living, which is soaring. and the fact that the government just cannot seem to get it right . now what they see is, instead of addressing the relations and taking people on board, this government has only launched a massive campaign of repression of suppressing public percent. and that is very much in evidence. if you look at the protest that has been unfolding in recent weeks, the government has not missed a single opportunity to try and ruin goes on their way. now lots of these are

protests that are planned for today. had a mission revoke. they've had places book telling them at the last moment that the bookings have been cancelled. y'all hadn't even got out of court orders being sought against a number of union leaders preventing them from having demonstrations but the level of probably concentration language such that they are not going to be silent. that's what we're hearing from the street today. you know, iran has reportedly executed a demonstrator who took part, an anti government protest that began in september. my son, shikari, was convicted of wounding a member of the paramilitary forces. the weapon and blocking his st. nationwide protest broke out after the death of 22 year old master minnie in police custody nearly 3 months ago. on sunday, around public prosecutor announced the morales, the police had been disbanded. at least 3 palestinians had been killed by israeli forces during a ride in the jenin refugee camp. a large group of israeli forces was seen entering

of palestinians. young men carrying up arms and trying to fight the israeli forces that are in the occupied with the bank. but as far as these analysts tell us, they say that the response by the israeli forces is disproportionate. these israeli forces and soldiers have or arm through their teeth. they are highly weaponized with the most technologically weapons. there are fighting young men who have limited weapons and supplies. so we're seeing a lot of attention here in the occupied by bank this year. we're talking about $160.00 for palestinians who were killed by israeli forces fire, including our colleagues sitting of wallclear, who was in jeanine on an assignment when she was targeted and shop by israeli forces. the nigerian army has been accused of running a secret illegal abortion program. roy voices is reporting at least him 1000 pregnancies have been forcefully terminated in the northeast since 2013. many of
