military family as the minister themselves call this group. there is wives sans daughters of the military, even in some cases a military on the active service. but there were present in these demonstrations without their uniforms, but they were there. and for this reason certainly there was this denial of the commander of the army to arrest the guys there. there was a 2nd denial of this commander of the army, a denial of firing the the oxy or the assistant of terrible. so not of who is with him now in orlando, florida, and death. there will be appointed as the next commander of the group of the army that is close to brazil or close to the capital of the counter. and that is responsible for the security of the capital itself. and for the secret of the present and secret of the 3 branches of government, the you has condemned the was for violence and peru during anti government protests

thousands of opposition activists of march to the tanzanian city of moines are to celebrate the lifting of a nearly 6 year ban on political rallies. there also taking the opportunity to demand reforms to election laws. ma'am, at val reports, it's a new chapter in towns, money in politics. opposition parties are celebrating the end of a 7 year ban on political rallies. thousands of members of the main opposition party shut them up, marched in the streets of mazda on the southern shores of lake victoria, in north western tanzania, and gathered at a sports stadium to mark the occasion. ah duly, we have faced mountains of hardships in foot 30 years. some of the parties decided to compromise the government. but we entered the mustard firm. we approach have built an institution that could fight for our right to have

a new constitution and all of the needed reforms in our country. the ban on political robins was imposed in 2016 by then president john michael. fully his successor, samuel slew hudson lifted the band 2 weeks ago as part of a broader set of reforms, but also warned against violations of law and order. since coming to paula in 2021, she has introduced limited reforms including lifting a band on pregnant girls attendance at school and launching a covey 19 vaccination program. opposition activists expressed relief, but say more reforms are needed. they are calling for a new constitution, but guarantees more political freedoms. really about all what comes on yet. we think the president for the decision to allow political reli so we can exercise our constitutional right. now we expect the police not to cite with the government was,

i mean, i'm sure who i see now we need the new constitutional reforms and free and fair elections. the constitution we have now does not favor the political system. we have tons and he is preparing for civic paul next year and a general election 2025 opposition parties promising more violence and the monday. but the election law to guarantee those free and fair homicide. until yes, jeffrey smith is the founding director of vanguard. africa works closely with members of tons to the as opposition. he says, the lifting of the band is a step in the right direction. we have information that he has been given assurances by the president herself that his safety and security will, will be paramount upon his return. i think today it was very refreshing to see that the major opposition rally that happened went off without violence with peace. it

was attended by many in attempting to curry forces and instead of rounding up all those there and arresting them and putting them in prison on trumped up charges, they actually stood back and allowed to take place. so i think there's certainly room for optimism going forward. i think the lifting of the ban on political activity by the opposition is a welcome step in the right direction. and, but we really have to measure that again. what has happened over the past 22 months since president has been in power? you know, she has taken measures to to respond to some human rights concerns. many weren't courage, especially by her 1st 100 days in office when she, 1st and foremost reverse the previous administrations horrible. cooper 19 denial is and she even freed political prisoners, including a prominent clergyman who had been detained without trial for almost a decade. but major concerns remain turkey his council, the plan visit by sweden's defense minister after a danish far right politician,

burned a copy of the koran outside. the turkish embassy in stockholm rasmussen ballou done holds both a danish and swedish nationalities. he was granted permission by police to state the rally. the swedish foreign minister says the government doesn't endorse pollutants views and that a slum volvic provocations are poorly seldom concealed. who has more from his stumble. all reactions by the turkish authorities say the same thing. they condemn this process, and they accuse swedish authorities for giving permission to such, such an act that in their terms and courage, hate crime and is i'm a for, via, as with and, and that's why the reaction from the turkey side from the turkish politicians have in har so far and at a turkish foreign ministries, calling for it and, and other countries and the west to take necessary measures. because for the, for on these kinds of process just provoke, different actions,

different emotions in people. this is what they have set so far. of course, the process are not limited. with on burning, there have been protests targeting true care for the last couple of weeks since finland and sweden are trying to be members of nato. and everything is packed to true kids approval. as a mater member, things are critical. 3 countries signed as 3 way agreement that would finally allow these countries to be an 8 on members for these kinds of acts by sweden, or just violating the agreement, signed by the $3.00 to $2.00. you also have a list of 130 people that wants to be expedited from sweden and took your husband at closing sweden for not taking the necessary measures and being committed to the agreement. co boat built is a former swedish prime minister in the co chair of the european council on foreign

relations. he says, this is not the 1st time ross was polluted, has done something like this. the swedish government has nothing to do whatever with what sort of isolated extreme is loonies or which we have some in suite. and we're not entirely load in the world and having loonies running around in the streets wanted to do. thanks and. and please try to say that they see that they do it at places that doesn't cause any harm. and i switched public doesn't really take in the note. this particular guy has been doing it several times before at several locations. and it has nothing to do with the swedish government still had an hour to 0. i'm gabriel's onto in new york 3 years on from the 1st covey case being discovered in the united states that are still hundreds of people dying from the disease. every single day. that story coming up and we meet environmentalists in bosnia herzegovina who's trying to prevent an ecological

disaster. ah that's really cold in eastern sa, bear in the northeast of charge at the coldest for about 50 years. these are daytime high temperatures are hobbins minus 21 carving ice in that sort of weather as got to be cold. now that cold slips across the open mortar, so snow for the korean peninsula to be north korea for japan, particularly hawkeye dough. and that cold, i think, you know it's, it's going to drift further. south temperatures drop even more for some places in beijing is down to minus 3. that's about 56 degrees below average is not extreme. this is extreme. the cold doesn't come much further south. it just induces more snow, i think, for north home shoe and then south of the yanks. they got this to roll that cold

winter. shanghai won't feel that good for this cloud, and our brakes have luxury that's unusual time the year. but it's, they're all the same and there's more heavy rain on the way for the central and southern philippines. and i think with the wind blowing, i think we find much of plenty malaysia in some parts of sumatra. find equally very wet weather. whereas that's clearly not the story in india or pakistan or bank this poor quality along north indian plain. yes, that's the thing snow. shasta on the far north of pakistan and afghanistan, they are still going bother was apart from sri lanka, it's dry and sunny picture. ah, but the american people have spoken. but what exactly did they say? is the world looking for a whole new order with america in it? is the woke agenda on the decline in america. how much is social media companies know about you? and how easy is it to manipulate the quizzical look us politics,

the bottom line? we understand the differences and similarities of cultures across the world. so no matter where you call and will, but you can use in current affairs that matter to year out. ah ah, one of our top stories this our brazil's president lewis, and i say, la da silva has 5, the chief of the army, the suspect security forces of being involved in january the 8th attacks on government buildings. it will lead by supporters, a former president job also my room fame to recite of match you peach you has been closed as anti government protest spread across peru. hundreds of tories have been

left stranded. the demonstrators demanding the resignation of president. deena blotting un deputy secretary general has told al jazeera, the women and girls above understand cannot be abandoned. amena mohammed has just returned from high level meetings with the taliban. became fast. those military rulers have given french troops one month to leave the country. it comes a day after hundreds of people demonstrated in the capital who got to go against the french military presence. many say the former colonial power has failed to improve security. according to the un, thousands of people have been killed and became a fastow since 2015, a. nearly 3000000 displaced in violence links to armed groups. canada says it will help guide peace talks between camera rooms, government and cept as factions in his english speaking regions for years armed separatist groups have been battling government troops to form a break away state called amber sonia cameron's english speaking community say

they've been marginalized by the french speaking majority and october 2017 anglo phone separatist, declared independence and created the new amber sonya state. but the public isn't internationally recognized. one of the 6000 people have been killed in the conflict . i bore and, and congo is the president of the center of human rights democracy in africa. he says there's a lot of optimism that these talks might help put an end to the fighting. i'm very optimistic. i think the damn population, especially those in the southwest, on the dog, was a mistake. if you people are still very cautious because i think that the government will not be. but you see the reaction on line on social media. the people i've talked to on the street, there's a lot of up to me. there's a lot of excitement, people, one this conflict to come to an end. it's been 66 years of school boy on economic stagnation dead kids in prison. so there is a lot of times if it is clearly that in the beginning,

not every good that no peace process in the world has had all the goes to present that the i g of dr cycle. i'm also chris and with the i know to present it, but i think what time they will come to the table because they don't realize that the essence is putting the people post. the essence is protecting the not popular song in the fall was on the old way. so i did i, and i think that the boys of all the progressive agenda to try to come to the discussion you christ. president vladimir zalinski has joined mourners for the memorial service for the victims of wednesdays. helicopter crash, 14 people were killed, including ukraine's interior minister and 6 senior officials. the helicopter came down in thick fog on the outskirts of the capital key. if an investigation is still on going into the cause of the crash, tens of thousands of people have joined protests against israel's new right wing coalition and its plans to reform the judicial system. for the 3rd straight weekend

demonstrations have been held in tel aviv and west jerusalem. public anger is mounting off to the new justice minister on bio reforms that will weaken the power of the supreme court. critic say the changes will undermine freedoms and give absolute power to the far right government. and wrong con was that the protest in west to reason them. we have a just a quick look around. you'll see there's an inflatable red line that actually represent the red line for democracy. the protesters say the benjamin netanyahu cannot cross that line all throughout. hey, you see all of the slogans that we've been seeing in these protests. and these protests including benjamin netanyahu, is a criminal that the democracy must be defended as real concerns her over civil rights. for example, now, 3 weeks ago this protests were spots by proposed changes by the justice minister to the supreme court. they were effectively going to strip the supreme court of any

house they had to overturn parliament decisions. it's got bigger than that. this is much school about people wondering, worrying about a threat to democracy and you have to say in jerusalem, there aren't really protests of this. so there were some in 2020 large in number, once again against the prime minister benjamin netanyahu. government, but they're getting bigger and that's because jerusalem is where religious city, very conservative city. so a lot that values a lot of people's values. they align with the governments. but because of this threat approaches to say to democracy, they are incredibly concerned. but it isn't gonna change anything. well that's the question i put to the purchase as well. you see here, people from old, i'm old kind. all kinds of various policies. is this thing those change with which would we feel that with radical change really expecting

would be the same one? 0, already experience in hungary and the likes and this is something that would very much like prevent i think douglas. busy more people that will go out, it will give more pressure to the government to stop this law like laws against a demo democracy. now it's not just here across israel, in high for, for example. and in televi that have been mass protest. tel aviv is by far the largest, although there is a lot of people here in the 1st week, you saw 50000 people, 80000 people in the 2nd week in the process, the organizes are suggesting that might be anywhere up to a $120000.00 people out on the streets in television, that's a significant number. now the idea full to protest organizes is to get as many people out on the streets as possible so that the politicians have to pay attention and they get worried about some of their support. leaving them that they may will

be able to have a vote of no confidence in the government and try and force trigger new elections. protested. we're back on the streets of the french capital. angry at a plan to raise the retirement age from 62 to 64, the government says the change is vital to safeguard the state pension system. saturday's rally follows and nationwide strike on thursday, operate as to plan flight of this week. and another mass drugs been called for january the 31st. and we don't, as you did with, as long as i'm still standing and breathing, i will fight to that people won't spend their lives at work so we can enjoy our families, children, hobbies, and friends. if not, it's not life. when not only hit to work. yes, but if we don't fight, we don't scare him, macro went back down. they must show him that way. here and angry people in spain also gathered in the capital madrid to protest against their left his government. demonstrators say the administration has undermined the constitution. they want

anxiety still shadows. the 7000000 and you know, compromised americans who face a heightened risk of catching cove. it there still hundreds of people every single day dying from covert in the united states. those who study the disease and track its progress, say the us needs to do a better job of learning from those deaths. we have upwards of 500 deaths, at least, of covert every day in the us. and we know very little about who these people are, why they're falling through the cracks and where there may be missed opportunities along the way. whether it be vaccination, or whether it be, be up to date on vaccination, whether it the axis to antivirals. this is important to course, correct. our implementation, and our response to the pandemic. even now, 3 years into the, into it for angelina. any progress made fighting cove,
