it's a fake video, maybe in syria, but in a different time. they raced a great deal to find out the truth in very complex situations that include major global play as we've been targeted by cyber attacks from russia. they're all, they just do this kind of work. belling cat truth in a post truth world on al jazeera, are they protectors or profiteers of free speech mosque is showing us how vulnerable spaces online truly are when they are controlled by millionaires of logo documenting facts on the ground. i'm not a journalist. people trust individuals more than the neos or a purveyor of the state line. how can you show the destruction of a political war and still be a political unchecked? the media can be stored narratives and reshape realities. the listening post keeps watch on al jazeera. ah,

bruce president, thanks is a genocide and murder investigation for her handling of a deadly political violence that's killed. 17 people. ah, i'm so robin, you're watching of 0 life. well headquarters here in denver also coming up. russian forces joined hands with the messenger group to step of attacks on the strategic ukrainian town of solid all in the east and terrorism charges against an austrian professor of egyptian or richard had dropped following an al jazeera investigation . also the stalls fall back to the golden globe awards a year after many boy called to the ceremony because of a series of scandals. we'll have the knights, they quit his ah welcome to the brag approved attorney general is launching an invest cation against

present dinner, blotting the members of a government on genocide and murder charges. it follows the most violent days, and unrest began in december after the arrest of former president edward castillo, 17 people died in protest in the southern region to know on monday by the other. sanchez has more from the capital, lima, but it wasn't easy from the hard because the left wing will makers, when, when federal law walked into the chambers, they shouted at him, murderer, then they do not allow him to speak. they took the floor and presented the pictures . the photos of many of the of the victims died yesterday in flashes with security forces in the city of pool. and also he confirmed that the 18th person died yesterday. he is a police officer who was attacked by a mob and burns a car. well, the prime minister spoke during his presentation about what is going on in the

country. he announced a curfew of from a pm to 4 am in no, for 3 days. the norton is founder and i just held geopolitical economy report and independent news website. now he describes what's happening in peru as an open revolt. people are kind of confused. they think that that, that what might happen is that the unable to work they might, may try to take action to prevent the independence of the attorney general's office . or this could be an example of the water, a resigning and fleeing. i mean, improved. there have been southern presidents in just over 5 years. so the reality is that this is a very unstable country. and presidents have come and gone in a matter of weeks. so we've already seen that. you know, what if they passed a recent order just a few weeks ago that said that the president of the congress can stand in her position as interim president, when she leaves the country. and

a lot of people in peru assume that that could be a way for her to potentially have a way to flee if you need to. and the congress has a majority, right? when opposition, by the same time, the level of what a doesn't really have a political base of support. at this moment, she was the vice president of federal castillo, but in january of last year, she actually left left the left wing party. that better guess you have been part of which is called very liberal and she became an independent and she said she disagreed with the left thing ideology of the party. and then when she came to power just a month ago as president, she formed the coalition with certain right wing opposition parties. but then there are other writing opposition parties led by the more the family. they also want to see the water they removed. so it's a very complicated game of political, you know, chairs where people are constantly changing alliances and shifting their loyalties . so it's very hard to see. but a lot of people improve are saying that they don't think the art is going to be in

power for much longer. brazil supreme court has all the rest of the man who was in charge of public security in the capital when government buildings were stormed on sunday. other officials could also face action support as a form of present joy. baltimore, a targeted congress, the presidential palace and the supreme court. or latin america editor lucio newman . ripples only one, brazil's capital brazilian looked calm just 3 days after the assault on the presidential palace. supreme court and congress, but as often happens, looks can be deceiving. here in the presidential palace, the cleanup of sundays attack, myself proclaimed patriots calling for military intervention to unseat newly inaugurated left. when president lula da silva continues, and the rest of the now dismissed head of brazilian military police signals that the clean up of culprits is far from over. the government concedes the armed forces

and police have been quote contaminated by what it calls a culture of institutional hatred. promoted by former president jade bull sonata kelley that we asked institutional affairs minister alexander padea. if security forces remain a threat demos his youth interview, we have clear evidence of individuals, military police, or members of the army who collaborated on sunday with the terrorists. or when negligible, they will be investigated and held accountable for their actions before the law. ah, it's not a secret that lulu the silver was not the candidate favored by brazil's police and army under former president bol seattle. the armed forces occupied more cabinet positions than during brazil's former military dictatorship and received handsome salaries. the army refused to dismantle camps of thousands of brazilians calling for military intervention, even as lula was being sworn in just a few kilometers away. but an overhaul or purge of hostile members of the army is

also risky. at the end of the day, if the government wants to the so the government could blame individuals instead of the whole situation. and i think that's pretty much what's gonna happen in order to not create another crisis for the government to deal with. president lula may indeed be forced to show more leaning towards security voices than he and his left wing constituency would like the country still in shock. the symbolism of what happened here is, was to on no one. the shattered glass windows, for example, represent transparently empower on the mobs that invaded this palace. used these open staircases that were designed by brazil's famous architect oscar ne meyer, to symbolize the openness in connection with the people. yet what happened on sundays, not what they were designed for and even as these military intervention activists

to being bused back to where they came from, they vowed to continue fighting. the sea and newman al jazeera, brazil. yeah. the the russian forces have stepped up their assault on a small salt mining town in the east of the country with the health of a group of messen raise. the wagner groups chief says that they surrounded solid, all the city center, ukraine's president says the area has been flattened. it's near the city of lieut, where troops on both sides of suffered heavy losses. ukraine says its forces have been holding all men backward despite months of attacks. and rush has been conducting naval jails in the legion see. it says its frigate, his armed with a hypersonic missile, capable of evading western air defenses. all stratford reports and from the ukrainian capital, keith present zalinski last night, acknowledging that the battle for solid awe was indeed intensifying. he saying that

the ukrainians had in his words one time in order to get more men and supplies inside that town. now solid is around 20 kilometers ne of the town of buck, mood, of course, buck mood is seen some of the most intensive fighting over recent weeks and months . a town that is often nicknamed a meat grinder because of the sheer amount of men that have been killed in it on both sides. solely dog is a salt mining town. it is the largest salt mine in ukraine and it has a vast network of underground tunnels. around 200 kilometers, in fact have underground tunnels, some as high as 30 meters. i mean a football match, for example, is being held under ground in solely in the past. so one can you imagine this is a huge strategic importance. we can only speculate that certainly

according to the russians, they are saying that the ukrainians are using those tunnels as defensive positions to store ammunition and so on. so we can only speculate the fighting. there is particularly intense because it is of such a strategic and military importance, whether we're going to start seeing such a thing as a seizure, such as what we saw around the agile style plant in mariel pool was months ago, remains to be seen. russia, again, is accusing the u as a participating in the ukraine wall about a 100 ukrainian soldiers are heading to the states to begin training on the patriot missile defense system. now, the russian ambassador in washington dc says america is trying to inflict as much damage as it can on russia. my cannon has more from the white house. they wouldn't be drawn on the time line, how long the training is going to take or when exactly it is going to start. however, it is understood that a group suffer cranium. soldiers are already on the way now. it must be understood

as well that a hatred massage battery requires some 90 soldiers to man. so although the figure of $100.00 is being pushed around, it's likely to be higher than this for the battery to be continually operational. in other words, you would need to achieve the from 180 soldiers rather than one team of 90. so this training we now understand is going to be happening. as i said, the duration we don't know when exactly it's going to start. we don't know what it does appear to be is that the training will take place in oklahoma in the fort. so army base, this is the home off the american field off hillary school. so that will be on the u. s. base in oklahoma. we understand we will hopefully get more details from the pentagon. i mean, he is refusing to host military drills involving a russian lead alliance, a former soviet countries relations between the 2 sides of soured. armenia was

russia's peacekeepers. to open a corridor linking his, this country to the disputed territory of nicola karuba, both armenia, another by john lay claim to it as airy activists have been blocking the corridor since last month. the problem is not just the organisation has refused to condemn submissions actions, though not all of its members state. so i would have liked us to focus more on our perception of the problem than the vision of others or on our view of others. now that my senior figure in the roman catholic church to face allegations of sexual abuse has died. the vatican news agency says australian cardinal george pal was suffering from complications following hip replacement surgery. he died at a hospital in rome. he was 81. i was convicted in 2018 for sexually assaulting to choir boys in the 1900 ninety's. he sent 13 months in jail before the conviction was quashed. in 2020 austria supreme court has dropped

a terrorism case against a well known professor of egyptian origin. following an out was there a documentary read office was charged along with dozens of activists. and then between the 20 and january last year, the program, what is hidden, is immense ad on 0, revealing that the charges were based on false evidence, i'm sob recreated. accusations office is best known for an annual report and european lumber phobia. and one of the founders of the austrian muslim youth association, we spoke to various hafez. he says, it's a relief to finally be free of the burden of the case. i feel much better, you know, it has been more than 2 years now. were i lived in a, in a kind of in limbo in a situation where i never knew what would the, the judges go ahead and, and really filed charges which i did not believe at any time at any point of time.

but, you know, i could also not believe that such a rate could happen and that these allegations would even have been raised by any kind of they prosecuted the 1st place. so you never know in such a situation where an incredible amount of, of investigation has been made and, and baseless allegations were made to even allow for such a huge rate in the 1st place me alongside a 69 out of foster suspects. the how's the private houses and homes were rated at 5 o'clock in the morning. our kids were traumatized. special forces broke through my window through my front door and my bank account was frozen. my assets are frozen. i was became basically as one of the most well known person that was affected. i became kind of the picture the, the public image of this operation. and,

and i was standing there, you know, in the title time of the pen damage were social networks did not play out any way like a normal times and people were intimidated. and that was a very troublesome situation where it was even difficult for a lot of those people who were affected to so wise since our bank accounts were frozen, you could not even like, continue your normal life. some people lost their jobs. i. after one year, i left the austria and went to the united states where i'm now a professor international studies. and there are people who's, who's economic basis. we're like the stripe. well, still here on al jazeera, migration, trade and climate change dominate the summit of 3 north american leaders in mexico and confrontation of the coal. we'll have the latest on a city by climate activists trying to plot the expansion the german mind. they

the record for january is minus 28. so this could be record breaking stuff for turkey. we've got rain stretching from the black sea right through to the mediterranean, i think for on talia a months worth of rain in 24 hours hop end of africa when mornings in play for the coast of libya. gus of about 60 kilometers per hour in a for that eastern side of d. r. congo, there's been some deadly land slides here and still bursts of rain to go on wednesday. wind in south africa and your temperature is actually pretty well where they should be in cape town, but we do have some heat in the western interior of south africa. ah. when the news breaks, it's designed to represent a bedouin now become a place to welcome fans from around the world when people need to be heard. and the story told, this area of size will, will be all island within a 100 years with exclusive interviews. and in depth reports here in germany's

whose company in the u. s. was removed from office after the riots. he served as justice minister of the full, but president shaw bolts and all right. and russian forces stepped up their assault only salts mining town of solid on the east of ukraine. the u. k. says the debate as russia has taken control of much of the town blocking a key ukrainian supply line. the heads of state from the us, canada, mexico held wide ranging toward the north american lead of summit. us president joe biden, canada justin trudeau and mexican president. i asked manuel, look over the met in mexico city. they discuss corporation on trade, immigration and drug trafficking. manuel rap alone has been following the summit in mexico city and being a source what we've heard from the 3 world leaders of from canadian prime minister justin trudeau, president biden. and president lopez over the board of mexico has lacked a lot of specificity that we were hoping to hear. there was quite a bit of mutual praise between the 3 world leaders, their tone, certainly on

a number of topics ranging from border security multilateral security strategy to curb weapons trafficking to curve human trafficking, to the curb. the trafficking of drugs moving back and forth between the us, mexico border, all of that seem positive. all of that seemed very optimistic at one point. president lopez over a lot of mexico actually praise president biden for being quote, the 1st president in a long time to not build a single meter of border wall. so certainly the question of migration this unprecedented search of migrants, particularly from countries like but it's when he got out of haiti and cuba making their way to the u. s. southern border was front and center had this international comment, but we should mention that this is a massively important regional, some in 3 countries, mexico, canada, the united states. this is north america is one of the most important trading blocks in the world. so the matter of strengthening economic ties, a building on promoting trade was certainly also

a big pillar of the talks that took place here in mexico city. we should also mentioned that there was a little point of attention ahead of the summit this more or less based off of the accusations that mexico was skirting its obligations under the us, canada, mexico free trade agreement, or u. s. m. ca. but as many of us expected, other leaders focused more on areas where there is common ground. deisel claims at canada, more than 2000 to tax globally. last year, the coalition in syria and iraq that has been conducting operations against the group, says eiffel fighters continue to pose a threat. the operations are predominantly conducted by our partner forces. those, however, act in syria. we are here at the invitation of the iraqi government. we partner with our partner forces beer, the one that g d operations we advise and on these operations. so what that looks like if we have constant communication with our partner forces, we assist them in the planning. we enable them with the equipment in order to to

the daughter a form iranian president has been sentenced to 5 years in prison. the royal physio hush me have not proved provided details on the charges against but the sentence wasn't final. local media reported that she was arrested in september last, jeff allegedly inciting approaches into iran as part of widespread demonstrations against the death of martha meany in police custody caution. me was also arrested and dan, from political activity in 2012 or posing the state. her father, but hashmi rather than johnny was iran's president from 1989 to 997. please have started removing barricades around the village of left. so esla in germany, which has become an international protest site for climate activists. the government wants the village to be demolished, so coal, mine can be expanded so vast and has more from the there's no

justice, they shout the arms locked climate ac because it's from across europe gathered in the small village of loops around the germans to prevent the neighboring coal mine from expanding that all legal means exhausted. police start removing activists from blocking the road. the initial operation to clear access to the site begins relatively peaceful. what has brought you to live? wherever she cries us, we have a little warming, so i think it's worth the but then police start to move forward more forcefully. the move turns grim with bullies and active is not flashing the there's a real fight now between the activists and the police. here at the village of trying to push forward towards the village. but now activists are really right away and you can see it as a scuffle going on here behind me. working from the energy company r w e,

who operate the golf while i open cast mine immediately start to clear the barricades. the climate ministry did not want to speak on camera. a spokesman explained that more coal is needed to ensure security of supply. but at the government will face out coal completely in h years from now. this can't go any further. we know that we don't need the coal under. let's allows for energy safety and it needs to stay in the ground for climate justice. police are calling and reinforcements from all over germany for the main eviction operation. one day described as complex and dangerous from the bomb or they have 3 houses of 10 meters high and even higher. we need special is to remove this occupies without endangered in any one we are science legally, and consequently prosecute any offender. and we have been ordered to clear this location and we shall do that. the police say they will aim to avoid using violence,

but only if the activists remain peaceful. protests have build a system of observation posts around the site. i'm afraid i'm scared all the time a little bit some some sometimes more. sometimes class when the cups are coming, i'm super scared of and i know how they act and how they force people to do what they want. police say the main operation to clear the protest camp itself is expected to take several weeks. steadfast and al jazeera and leads that the pacific stole continues to pound. california had i after flooding, a mudslide, risks full c evacuation of thousands of people. at least 16 have been killed since last week and more than 34000000 on the flood warnings. rob reynolds reports now from santa cruz in northern california. the latest in a relentless series of storms battered the california coast on tuesday with waves in some places 7 meters tall. the storms have caused wide spread flooding. as 90

percent of the state's population was placed under a flash flood warning, in many places, water saturated hillsides have collapsed in dangerous mud slides. tens of thousands of people have been evacuated from communities all over the state. we were watching other people are being evacuated and we just had no idea. it was just a shocker. and where we was just on believable, he has seen a water come in and then it just gushing. just like a river in sacramento, the state capital utility cruise worked to restore power. high winds have toppled trees and power lines leaving more than 200000 people without electricity on tuesday. in santa cruz, the san lorenzo river, normally just a trickle of water became a muddy brown torrent beaches were piled high with debris. nearby enormous waves crashed against rocky cliffs in one spot tearing away part of
