okay, we've got to go further down the road, right. let's move now from an ambulance point on the virtually deserted road. we drive to wald solider we pass a few ukrainian military vehicles heading the other way. there's no obvious sign of ukrainian withdrawal from the salt mining town. it seen some of the most intense fighting recent days. alarming medics waited intervals along the way to take the injured hospitals back from the front line of shore. pro hor dirty obs thoroughly. as the battle continues, we have to stay in place even if we could wait closer, we would know more that we are ready to move fraser shoulders or civilians impress kimberly. the soldiers say the road over the brow of the hill is being shelled. russia says it's taken full control of solider,

unfold. ukrainian forces still have a foothold in the western outskirts of the town. they say the fight for solid all isn't over yet. john strafford al jazeera and his solider. eastern ukraine, or the u. k. has announced it or supply tanks and artillery systems to ukraine. it follows a phone call between the british prime minister she sooner and ukrainian president william as the lensky on saturday. reinforcements would include the british army challenge, a 2 tanks, which are seen as crucial to we capturing occupied territory. turn is, is political opposition has led rallies, demanding. the president stepped down over worsening economic crisis. they say a power grab, by present case said has reversed political freedoms. that were gained more than a decade ago, were present, say that sacked his government and suspended payment in july 2021. his opponents accused him of staging a qu,

but sorry that said the acted legally to rescue his country. he then awarded himself powers to rule by decree in september of that year in march last year, members of parliament to try to reverse his decisions, said, responded by dissolving parliament. and in june, he fired dozens of judges. the rest of the judiciary went on strike a month later, a new constitution at strengthen the presidency and weakened parliament was passed in a referendum or turn. it was low with many political parties, boycotting the vote. and in december, parliamentary elections boycotted by the opposition. so a record low turnout of 11 percent of voters were a con, has more on the protest. protested pac happy book, either avenue, in the heart of tuna. they want present, hey, feed, out of power. the street is long been stayed for political change. 12 years ago,

protest grew here, spread across the country, and with him, weeks toppled long time president, vinny and aberdeen, ben. oh, no opposition. groups that have long been rivals have unified and they include the national salvation front coalition and the free constitution party. and nursing up the resolution down more united than ever before. and that a lot of progress has been made in this particular point. and the way out is quite simple, or if it is actually a die like a national dialogue between stakeholders in this country and national and were presented to us, i did different good was yes, it will many thought an attempt to play kate, the protesters, the president attended to rally on friday, one man shouted to him, they're hungry. the country isn't an economic crisis,

inflation is thawing. jobs are scarce. and $1900000000.00 bailout from the instructional monetary fund is being discussed. but with many concerned, the country is becoming more authoritarian. the united states may block it last month, parliamentary election, thought 11 percent of voters caused ballot. it was meant to reshape the legislature to solve for the president of the thief, executive powers. in july 2021. 0 but now chi said is under pressure from growing opposition groups and anger on the street nor han on to theorem of thousands of people have demonstrates in tel aviv against plans by the news really government to overhaul the judicial system. for minister benjamin netanyahu is far right administration has unveiled sweeping changes to the legal system. critics say the reforms could weaken the supreme court's power protests to say the proposals threatened democracy in people's freedom. demonstrations,

also held in haifa. and outside the presence residence in west jerusalem, iran con, was at the protest in tennessee. the organizers loping for a significant set out that we're hoping for 50000 people. we don't know if 50000 people have turned up, the police will get that estimate in the next couple of days with significant probably larger than last weekend. now this began as a purchase with those changes to the supreme court by the justice with which a group roland about this group on overturning kinessa commentary decisions. but it's getting wider than that. now people learn more about israel's democracy. they're very worried about minority rice within the country and they coming out in a huge number. and they're very worried about the fact that they say that benjamin netanyahu, the prime minister, is becoming a dictator in this country. dictator is aware that we've been hearing throughout the evening. now we help in talking to some of the protesters. so let's take

a listen to what they had to say. the fascists in israel got the government, you know the coalition. and the 1st, this is my old, are i'm making a change in the legal system of israel. so soon enough, i don't know how soon, but soon enough we won't be even able to demonstrate with . now the protest is all hoping that this becomes a very regular side, and i think that it gets bigger and bigger and bigger. now, the idea, it doesn't really challenge the government right now. what they want to do is get as many people out in the street, so it causes a political crisis. remember, israel has had 4 or 5 elections in 4 years on the protesters, hoping that this will spark another election and trying to cut back some of the piles of this particular fall. right?

whitehouse lawyer says more classified documents have been found that us present jo biden's residence, which had silva says he discovered the 5 new pages as he was handing over another classified page to the department of justice officials. classical hang reports now from washington, dc. what we know is they, according to the special, the white house counsel's office, put out a statement said basically where they search the president. tell them in wilmington, delaware, they found some classified documents in the garage and another one page in a storage area, a just, just next to the garage. what the council saying is the lawyers, the president's private lawyers who are going through this. they didn't have security clearance, so when they saw that marking, they closed the box, they shut the room and they just what no further. now the white house council says he has security clearance, so he went up thursday night up to wilmington, delaware, so that he could hand over those documents to the department of justice. he says in that box where they found that 1st document,

they found 5 additional documents with classification markets. now, what we don't know is exactly how high the classification was in the u. s. government, there is a confidential secret. and then top, secret top secret is described as if that got out, it could pose a grave danger to the country. we do know that in the office here in washington, dc, we believe there were documents listed as top secret. we don't know how many were thinking about in all. there was about 20 documents now 25. so what they said is they've had that over to the department of justice. as you mentioned, a special prosecutor is going to take a look at get those documents. next. what this does though, is it just keeps the story in the headlines for president biden, who'd like to move on. but this is really been any the only thing reporters, the white house briefing have been asking about every time there's the new announcement, it leads to the news in the local newspapers. so it just shows that this is

a story and a headache for the president, a political headache that possibly will be going away anytime soon. the u. k is withdrawing at some bassinger from iran are to tehran executed. the british, iranian national, is also putting sanctions on the iranian prosecutor general. and he, reza act, barry, a former deputy defense minister was convicted of spying for british intelligence. there are reports, he made a false confession under torture. you, kay's prime minister is she seen that described the execution as barbaric and cowardly. iran has summoned the british ambassador in response or so said are, has more from tehran. i lose that. there is execution is one of the highest level executions in the more than history of iraq. he was a prominent while connected figure within the power structure in the company had close ties with top diplomats bureaucrats. and with this and steve central institutions in the company are also close. graduate with alicia county,

run and london are already great, and these execution is expected to for the deteriorate relation between iran and united kingdom. so within iran, there is also in a tremendous impact of this execution because now distributions are accusing each other of not functioning properly. and the 2nd, the general of the national security council of the reported league is expected to be removed from his post. so we are already seen the impact of there's execution internationally and domestically we're still ahead here on al jazeera. why a campaign in western germany to say the village has activists and police officers, an opposite sides, and visit in police make a major arrest as part of the investigation into the stormy of government buildings last week. ah,

wants is a quid pro quo. and that is that turkey, that is president air. the one will recognize bashar assad, a normalized with the regime. and agree and principal to withdraw true to withdraw turkish troops and turkish back troops from syrian territory. in other words, recognized the territorial integrity of syria under our side. and in return, russia will, and the assad regime will stop backing the white p g. that is the syrian wing of the p k. k, which is the arch enemy of, of turkey. i to palestinians have been killed by a very force is an occupied westbank. they're accused of firing axes. valley troops near janine islamic jihad group says the 2 men with fighters from its armed wing, the goods brigades, 12 palestinians have been killed by israeli troops and settlers. so far this month,

including $819.00 rose from janine. he died on saturday to week south to being shot by israeli forces in the abraham went to the funeral procession in java. it occupied west back. oh, it's only been 14 days into the new year. well, alice indians were killed by israeli forces hire a 3rd one of them in, in this unit for 2 palestinians, 23 and 24 year old and dad. and as the dean and according to local sources here, they were killed after they've been teased by israeli forces after committing a shooting attack near by here in g mean, we've seen the car that they were in totally wrong in shootings as well in the court. and according to israeli forces, they say that they've found m. 16 right in the car. this is not the only funeral

happening in jeanine a 3rd palestinian has succumb to his wounds after he was shot by. is there any forces earlier this year? this gives you an idea about the reality that the palestinians live about the frustration. the year 2022 has been the w. cindy occupied the west bank for over 15 years, according to the one l. estonians. and janine has actually helped the 10th situation because 59, i filled my 3 4th. so last year, people here saved a language wars equally like this year to be i last year because of the current right wing is where the government that has taking a power in israel. the man who was in charge of security in brazil's capital,

when the government buildings were stormed last sunday, has been arrested. after returning from the u. s. addison torres served as justice minister under former present diable, sanara, and is considered one of his closest allies. he was appointed, priscilla is security chief just days before the general 8th riots. when thousands of ball scenario supporters attacked congress, the supreme court and the presidential palace torres denies having any role in the unrest. of philippe ramos is a political analyst for the new school. for social research in new york, he says the rest of torres is likely to bring clarity to the events that led up to the rights. the former minister was arrested 1st not for his duty as a minister, also now. but as a secretary of public security, the sea of brazilian bertha, the pink, is already well connected. so he was also your lender in the 2nd delighted states

was in the same city of niagara. and the federal police in brazil found out that they had a meeting when they were there together in the same city. so there are some suspicions that the, that they articulate that some a leadership of it is riots that we saw that took place in brazil recently. this is the 1st thing to, to be clear right now that there, there was some leadership in what appeared the 1st place as a leader. let's move them in. and another thing is the role of the supreme court has played in the all of the. so yeah, yeah, at least a both by the law and he torn from that and i been said and was arrested when he arrived in brazilian. and it shows the force of the federal police in brazil and the supreme court. so wilson, i tried the whole 10 you 2 week and they supreme court in brazil, but the supreme court and the federal police are independent institutions. and are

you stronger than ever the head of the world health organization is spoken to china's top official. welcome to countries public release of data on covey, 19 related deaths. beijing now says that the 60000 people have died in hospital since it lifted the strict corona virus restrictions on december. the 7th. shauna had previously reported just over $5000.00 total deaths since the start of the pandemic. beijing has repeatedly been accused of down playing the spread the virus national health experts for cost that will be at least $1000000.00 covey today to desk in china. by the end of the year on a electric university college london school of pharmacy, she says there are still questions about the accuracy of beijing's code with 9000 number's credit to the w show and many other critics. there is concern that there's lack of transparency around these figures. other models had estimated that it's probably more likely that at the height of the peak, that 9000 people were dying

a day. so that doesn't really add up to the estimates that have been provided by the c c p, because what we do know about that is that it's not just a respiratory disease and effects all organs in the body. and it's linked to all sorts of different ways in which people may pass away, predominantly through blood clotting. and so again, that's probably a big part of the defining the death, as well as people not being able to access hospitals, that there's no bad, no space. people won't be dying in hospitals will be dying somewhere else. so now we do see that the demographics were in the big cities with the better hospitals. and really just more capacity to give care has now spread more into rural areas of china, where health care systems are less developed. and also vaccination rates are lower . so again, that devastation.
