election be overturned. general julio says that a router had been command of the army since december. claudio, cato is a political scientist and associate professor that go to leo vargas foundation. he explains what's behind the command de sacking. there was a break of confidence, a bank of trust. in this ca, mother of the army and this was said by the minister of defense himself 2 minutes ago. and so i think this is the 1st explanation of this break of trust. i think that has to do with the denial of the commander of the, of the army to arrest the demonstrators that were responsible to the, for, for the attacks in general, the 8th, through the branches of government. his refusal to arrest them exactly the same day at night when there was a water from the supreme court to arrest those guys that were there. there were many military, there are some of them retired military, many members of the mil,

military family as the minister themselves call this group. there is wives sans daughters of the meter, 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 oxley or the assistant of variables on out of who is with him now in orlando, florida. and that 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, he has condemned the widespread violence peru during anti government. processed

many of which have come from the provinces in south korea. they came by boston cars and vans. there's also proteins in other parts of the country in the south. there's been acoustical, pu not, and inadequate by the 2nd largest city in through all. well, there's been violent pro just there. people brought us just trying to take over the airport now. we've been speaking to some of our, the demonstrators here, people who are very angry, up the government, very angry at being i would love to for the deaths that have occurred in the past all 6 weeks. people say that she must resign because they cannot do. there cannot be one more day. in these protests in the country, those protests of force peruse, closed the famous tories site of much peach you indefinitely. hundreds of towards the stranded at the base of the inquiry into the towns august client us. the

tourism minister says the railway line has been damaged and that some tourists. so having to walk 6 hours to the nearest road. yes. or a new search of us present jo biden's residence of uncovered 6 small classified documents. biden's lawyers agreed to the search and they're helping federal investigators. around 30 documents have now been discovered since the 1st batch were found in november. let's go over to mike canon now for more of this. he's live in washington, d. c. a. mike, are there any more details about exactly what's been uncovered of biden's wilmington home? now at the stage, all that he said is that there were 6 or documents which were marked at some level of prayer classified at classification. not quite clear exactly what level it was. but also, according to president biden's personal lawyer, the investigators also took away some handwritten diaries, some notes that president biden had kept. not the material relates to his time as

a senator more than 30 years, as well as some items coming from his time. as vice president, now the investigators went to the biden home in wilmington, delaware by invitation. it was made open to them. they spent some 13 hours there from round about 10 o'clock in the morning until late at night. that biden's themselves were not there. they are at their beach house over this weekend, but biden's personal lawyer stressing that he has nothing to hide, that they are attempting to cooperate with the investigators in every single way, and that they will continue to do so and make open whatever the investigators want to look into and mike, as we yo, work out actually what is in these documents. of course the republicans are gonna take this as far as they possibly can to call this a gift horse for them would be an understatement. no. well, yes and no, because there is an issue involved here is that the more the republicans criticize

president biden, for his handling of these documents, saw the lack of care in handling the documents. it comes into the spotlight. the difference between the way biden has handled it, and the way that a former president trump has handled it. in trump's case, the justice department had to seek a warrant to search his premises. donald trump attempted to keep the investigators away from documents for a long period of time, and that was the reason why they got a search warrant in relation to president biden. at no stage. was there any need for a search warrant because biden's lawyers were immediately in touch with both national archives and the department of justice. immediately these documents were found. and now you see an occasion where they are inviting the investigators into biden's home . so the problem with the republicans attacking biden for these documents is that it reflects very badly at the same time on the behavior of the former president, donald trump. all of that being said though, there are

a special council looking into both biden's handling of the documents by bad to have been her as well as a special council looking into trumps handling of the documents as well as trumps involvement and events. and leading to the january, the 6th invasion of the capital. so there are elements here that are beyond the political and that is the action of the special council who are answerable only to the attorney general. or let's see what these documents sir enclose or mike can. i live in washington dc may, thanks. al, united nations ha s ranking. female official says what's happening in afghanistan is a grave crisis for women's rights. and i wake up call for the international community . the taliban has bound women from education and much of public life. the restrictions were top of the agenda for you and deputy secretary general amena mohammed, who's just wrapped up a 4 day visit to afghanistan. she says much remains to be achieved. laura con

reports afghan women's rights to education to university, to work, and to fulfill their dreams. all of this was the focus of talks between the united nations and the taliban in couple this week. on her return, your deputy chief amena mohammed told out 0 she was there to amplify women's voices . the women are getting trodden on. they need to breathe, they need to come back. they need to have their rights and protected. and given back to them where they've been taken away, it is incredibly important. last month, the taliban band, women from attending university. they've also been barred from secondary education and some government jobs. the taliban says it's looking for solutions, but also wants to discuss international sanctions. there was schools open, there was universities that have been again, a suspended and we are working on finding a permanent solutions that this phenomena situation was precipitated by the 20 year

occupation. and it has been investigated by the re position of sanctions by by acid praises. and by restrictions on banking when the telephone to power in august 2021 . the u. s. froze $9500000000.00 and the afghan central bank money that was held in the us a later announce a transfer of $3500000000.00. that money to fund it says will help us get funds economy. but the money won't be managed directly by the african government. continuing sanctions means a kind of sons. banking system remains largely cut off from the rest of the world. meanwhile, the un says 9 of 10 households aren't getting enough to eat some unless, say, even if sanctions or ease is unlikely, policies on women a going to change the underlying foundational principle about islamic emerett is that the amir shay, hybrid toler, has or unchallenged authority to pass any decree which he likes.

muslin un deputy chief minimal hammered says she hopes to convince taliban otherwise. the 1st word on we're talking about knowledge speaking lights, but i don't see anywhere that says, you know, we don't have the right to education. the us says it will continue to push for progress. so women and i've kind of son and not excluded from public life. laura han al jazeera or, well, let's hear from more of the women affected from all of this. mostly about a was a judge, enough kind of stuff. he was forced to flee the taliban. she says female activists and i've kind of stuff needed to be involved in the you and visit as well. i think the back from in the 100 because we know that we don't know about what was the agenda about and was not just a crisis about it or guess it's about to see can see the women in afghanistan. so

the telephone, of course, that they make or race kind of propaganda to bring that initial community attention for that benefit. i think this all, it makes not any difference and women life in afghanistan. the most important thing, afghanistan, this is our battle. and they going to meet with the taliban to sure. bring women's together. and we have professional women that denise should have the women, i'm opinion. and that agenda without women, without people in afghanistan at that problem would be not solved. thousands of opposition activists have marched in the turns in the in city of miranda to celebrate the lifting of a nearly 6 year ban on political rallies. they also taken the opportunity to demand reforms to election laws. hammond, val has more it's a new chapter in towns,

a broader set of reforms, but also warned against violations of law and order. since coming to power 2021, she has introduced limited reforms including lifting a band on pregnant girls at tendrils 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 i see now we need the new calls to tional reforms and free and fair elections . the constitution we have now does not favor the political system. we have hands on here is preparing for civic pulls next year and a general election 2025 opposition parties are promising moralities and demonte,

but the election laws to guarantee that those are free and fair. i made fun of this year. okay, still ahead on al jazeera, thousands of demonstrators gather in televi, even west to slim to protest against israel's new, far right government. plus, i'm gabriel's condo 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 ah, with that's really cold in eastern sa, bear in the northeast of char, if at the coldest for about 50 years. these are daytime, high temperatures,

are the 1st facilities in china since the government lifted at 0 cove, at 19 policy residents in will hand lit fireworks to welcome the year of the rabbit chinese city was the epicenter, the corona virus pandemic, 3 years ago. jessica washington is in hong kong. will be speaking to her about festivities there in just a few minutes. let 1st let's go to katrina using the chinese capital and katrina. of course after almost 3 years of restrictions. the question is, are people embracing this important holiday now? yes, they are. it's a freezing winter morning here in the aging and thousands of people are braving the cold. as you can see behind me to go to the lama temple here. invading it's the most important buddhist temple in the capital. and it's the 1st time that this temple has been opened for the lunar new year, also known as a spring festival,

here in china for 3 years. and many people here, a very relieved that those days of locked downs and heavy virus restrictions are behind them. so that they can celebrate normally and participate in long held new to new year. traditions such as this one. now, according to that tradition, many people come to the 1st day of the year with family and then this to this temple to pray for the upcoming year. ahead and according to tradition, people are trying to get here. they tried to get here very early in the morning. there were queues from 4 am in the morning because it said if you are the 1st to come to the temple and light and intense candle, you will have very good luck to the year ahead. now this last year, the previously new year was the year of the tiger. and according to the chinese zodiac, the qualities of year the tiger were restlessness and disruption. and that certainly ran true for many people here in china because of cove and 0 policies. we had huge disruptions to income to ability and to help, especially at the end of the year when those restrictions was suddenly lifted. and

millions of people are estimated to have gotten sick with the virus and at least 60000 people died. and now we have this new year this year of the rabbit, which according to the zodiac, is supposed to have the qualities of peace and prosperity. so many people are coming here. crowds people lining up to the temple and they will be praying for a more positive year. ahead and certainly a better idea and then the previous one and wishing you a year of peace and prosperity. katrina will over to jessica washington now who says train station over in hong kong and jessica, the holiday also offers businesses a much needed chance to bounce back. is that much cheaper? some sort of economic recovery around this holiday there in hong kong? well that's exactly right, and there are many factors behind hong kong economic downturn. and of course the absence of tourist is only one of i'm here at west colored station. it looks like a pretty ordinary size behind me. but just a few weeks ago, this wouldn't have been possible. this station was closed,

the high speed rail network connecting mainland china and hong kong was not in operation and only resumed in mid january. so the fact that there are passengers here departing from hong kong to mainland china and vice versa. if that's an indication that things are going back to normal. now for the tourism sector, insiders have said that they are sort of cautiously optimistic. they don't expect that there will be a huge amount of visitors from the mainland, but they are optimistic that hong kong and macau, as well, are 2 of the preferred destination for travelers from the mainland in palms because of the difficulties that some mainland tourists might face and trying to go overseas, as many countries have not resumed direct flights, as yes, but for hong kong, it remains to be seen how this weekend, how this week of celebration will turn out. some organizations, such as the federation of restaurants and other associated industries say that they expect a 60 percent boost in terms of a visitor,

numbers and profits for this period compared to luna last year, new year period of last year. so some optimism, but of course cautious expectations about exactly what will take place over this festive period. ok, jessica many thanks. jessica washington. they are in hong kong. as people in china and hong kong mark the year of the rough january the 21st marks 3 years since the 1st case of coven 19 was supported in the united states. just over a 1000000 people have died in america since then. and that number continues to rise . gabriel elizondo reports from new york for angela praia. it's a never ending nightmare. in april, 2020, her beloved father went to the hospital after falling ill. he was put on a ventilator. 10 days later he died. one of the early victims of covert in the

united states. that's what makes cohen pretty cool if you think they're getting better and the doctors are like, they're getting better and the next day, their dad like so many others, he died alone. no family members were allowed inside the hospital to see him because it was deemed to unsafe. that still hans angelina. i didn't see him. i didn't touch him. i didn't get home his hand as he passed away. i didn't get to tell him, i loved them and alas, kissed that that never happened when you're not able to do those things. you're in a state of suspended morning, i think probably forever to day 93 percent of americans over 65 years old or fully vaccinated. but issues persist. it's estimated nearly 10 percent of americans suffer from so called long cove. it depilatory rating side effects that linger months after contracting the virus and 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 u. s. needs to do a better job of learning from those deaths. we have upwards of 500 deaths, at least, of covered every day in the u. s. and we know very little about who these people are, why they're falling through the cracks. and where there may have been missed opportunities along the way. whether it be vaccination, or whether it be, be up to date on vaccination, whether the access to antivirals, this is important to course, correct, or implementation, and our response to the pandemic. even now, 3 years into the, into it for angelina. any progress made fighting cove, it is too late for her loved one. my father was in good, genuine kind, gentle,

sweet, generous person. and he didn't deserve to die like that. or any of the people who continue to 3 years later, gabriel's hondo al jazeera new york. another news turkey has cancelled a 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. ross must pollute and holds both danish and swedish nationalities. he got permission for the police to hold the rally. the swedish foreign minister says the government doesn't endorse pollutants views, and that islam of phobic provocations are poorly protest. i have been held against israel's new right wing coalition government and its plans to reform the judicial system for the 3rd straight weekend demonstrates as rallied in tel aviv and west jerusalem and angry about reforms which they say will weaken the powers of the

supreme court critic say the changes will undermine freedoms and give the government absolute power. among con, was that the protest in west teresa 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 that 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 the 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 now they have 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 protesters. what do you see here? people from all, all kinds, all kinds of various policies is this thing, those change? which with which would we feel that with radical change really expecting would be the same one? 0, already experience in hungary and the lights. and this is something that would very much like prevent,

i think that the more people that 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 example. i didn't 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 we saw 50000 people, 80000 people in the 2nd week in the process to organize this aust. adjusting them let be anywhere up to 120000 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.
