china rings in its 1st lunar new year since lifting cove 19 restrictions, but a rising death told threatens to dampen festivities. ah, la, watching al jazeera live from dough. how with me for liberty bore also ahead a new low in relations between volcano fossil and france, military leaders in the west african country demand friend serves withdraw within a month. perused popular much repeat, uterus side is closed as protests against the president spreads. ah, and how a citizens choir in chile is helping returned classical music to its roots. ah.

after 3 years of taft, corona virus restrictions, china is celebrating the lunar new year with tens of millions of people traveling to their rural home towns. but the pandemic is overshadowing the festivities. nearly 13000 corbett linked deaths have been officially reported in hospitals between january 14th and 19th. that's the highest weekly death told to date. but this excludes those who died at home begging has also been accused of not being transparent with data and as migrant workers. return home health experts say they are concerned cove 19 may spread in the countryside. now these festivities are the 1st in china since the government lifted its 0 called 19 policy. people in war hon lids fireworks to welcome the year of the rabbit. the city was the epi center of the pandemic. 3 years ago. katrina, you has more from b,

g. 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 new year, also known as a spring festival, here in china to 3 years. and many people here are very relieved that those days of lockdown and heavy virus restrictions are behind them so that they can celebrate normally and participate in long held blue to new year. traditional collectors. this one. now according to that traditional one that will come to the 1st day of the year with family and, and 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 hughes from 4 am in the morning because it said if you are the 1st to come to the temple and light an 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 covert 0 policies. we had huge disruptions to income to the ability and to help, especially at the end of the year when those restrictions were 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 have the qualities of peace and posterity. so many people are coming here, crowds of people lining up to the temple and they will be praying for a more positive year. ahead and certainly a better year. and then the previous one, people in hong kong, are also making their way to mainland china to celebrate the new year with their families. jessica washington reports the. i'm here at west calhoun station in hong kong, part of the high speed rail network, connecting hong kong with mainland china. here you can see people from hong kong

making the journey to cities like sions, and long jo, and also travelers from mainland china, arriving in hong kong. now, just a few weeks ago seems like this. all these passengers behind me wouldn't have been possible because the rail network was closed and only recently resumed operations once code 19 protocols were reduced in mainland china. now there's some optimism from tourism operators here at hong kong will be one of the preferred destination for travelers from mainland china as they prepared to celebrate the lunar golf. and it's very convenient. now. the interaction between hong kong and the mainland has been paused for 3 years since the pandemic, which cause a lot of nuisance to business travelers like me, can see that many of the tickets for journeys from hong kong to mainland china has already been sold out. but it's still not entirely businesses nor more here. there are still requirements for travelers who do need to complete p. c. r. test before

making their journey either to hong kong or to the mainland. old travelers will need to fulfill that requirement. they're all still quoted as well of around 60000 people. either way. so around a $120000.00 people can make the journey between hong kong and mainland china each day. in terms of the lunar new year festivities the traditional parade and fireworks for once again. be cancelled, but despite the differences, there's still some optimism from trade group here in hong kong. the federation of restaurants here in hong kong says that they anticipate a 60 percent boost to business compared to the same period last year. as many people will be celebrating here in hong kong with their friends and family. in other words, years were keener fossils. military rulers have given french troops a month to leave the country. demonstrations against france's military presence have been held in the capital while going to go. many accused the former colonial

power of failing to improve security. the un says thousands of people have been killed in book in fossil since 2015. nearly 3000000 have been displaced by the violence linked to armed groups. everywhere. a google is a policy and security analysts center development, reimagine, which is an african affairs consultancy. he says, it's no surprise. a french military have been ordered to leave this announcements requesting the money rather than the french to move up a book. and so i've been a long time coming because what's in the pattern in countries where the miniature government in place and i meant to government. also phones have a good relationship with our implant services of russia and missionaries on the ground. so when you look at, for instance, center regarding public, we saw this, you said the same requires the same thing happened with the french troops pulled out in december last year. was also, since i've probably got

a very good additional ship with, with which brought and with russia and with wagner was present in molly, in the my last government demanded that the defense troops on your contract will pull out on the deed. so we're looking at what the expected promote, of course, can blame of france in any way. what, but what, what governments are saying is they want the ability to choose that profess security partner, right? that's the problem with that is even going ahead with which i do not think the russians have the capacity to solve this problem. because the problems that the current is a multi dimension, you're looking at climate, you're looking at an object probity. you're looking, you're looking at a country that i couldn't log green in any meaningful way. despite this, by default, the populations can be very young. people are employed on populations,

i have a great faster than what the economy. so it's a real problem. we've more than just major partnerships on, by the way phones and troops and all of that. and i think that is the mitchell in that is going to have to find the coordinated comprehensive strategy for last month development. what is that? i just need your partnerships in brazil, president louis ignacio la da silva, is had the chief of the army. he says, security forces were involved in stormy congress early this month. thousands of support is a former president, j. eatable scenario attacks government buildings on january the 8th, they demanded the result of the presidential election in october, be overturned. general julius hayes has commanded the army since december. i fan, i'll car. the pony is a professor of public safety at the utility of our guys foundation. he believes any danger of a military coup has passed. if they want to do something against lula, they need to have proper support and they don't have it. and they don't have also

international support towards this. i think the situation was unbearable. personally, i believe that lula who had fired him last week when the, when the buildings were invaded. and i think he was also responsible because they didn't dr. the us. and i think he's a good strategy to replace comment and also the brazilian army. despite that, we had to ship some like more than 10 years ago. they tend to be very disciplined. wilson. i was willing to make a military coup in brazil and can invoke support from the army from the even from their force. so i think they're quite disciplined. is the question just of just to just in the starting of the government and then pretty sure the army is going to remain under control of the president. and i don't see been doing anything dusty against the, the president police are trying to tell who brazil despite all the problems and all the difficulties we had have kind of assaulted democracy in the army,

things to be disciplined. of course, they are supported from presidential review books on that'll be said to sounds like army, they're complex institutions. but again, of the day, i think, you know, law is trying to rule the roost here. and i think he's asking, well, the european union has condemned the widespread violence in parole during protests against the government police in the capital lea. my victor demonstrate is on saturday from a university way that set up camp they want president deniable wanted to resign, and her predecessor pedro castillo to be freed from prison. marianna sanchez report some lemme ah, hundreds of police force their way into peters. oldest university to the neck, to this had allowed protesters to stay there for peruvians who traveled to lima to protest against precedent dinner one, what had a university acoustic protesters of stealing security gear and cold in the police

to evict them astir. guess was fired. terrified students tried to hide more than 200 people were arrested, but when they were taken to the counter terrorism police headquarters, the anger only deepened april. okay, so we're asking for the freedom of our brothers who have been detained from different regions. i feel impotent, angry in pain. the police are killing her brothers. i police block the stations, entrance, keeping no lawyers and families with the students without going good. again, it's unfair what they've done with the students in a democracy or free to participate, but via an appeal cleans dictatorship in no more rights the a lot. i only have pushing everyone back. apparently the order is not to allow anyone dobro. notice the government says the police are protecting citizens and the rule of law, former congress will money need a weak us is the government has turned into

a dictatorship wearing a dictatorship in the making. unfortunately, president blue artes being part of a civilian military regime. it has already implemented addict atoria model because of what we're seeing now with the detainees. on saturday, the european union condemned the violins and what had called the disproportionate use of force by the police. more than 50 peruvians have died since protests began 6 weeks ago. international human rights groups are calling for independent investigations for now the government says the police is doing its job unison to sell to cedar lima. while those protests are forced through to close its famous tourist site micro pete, you indefinitely. rescue teams of evacuated hundreds of tory stranded at the base of the inca ruins in august caliente. his trained services into the town had already been suspended because of damage to rail tracks. in the u. s. and new

search of president joe biden's residence has uncovered 6 more classified documents . biden's lawyers agreed to the operation and said they're helping investigators. about 30 documents have been discovered since our 1st batch was found in november. bruce fine is there for me. you as associate deputy attorney general, he says many documents that are considered classified by the government should not be categorized as such. well, i think it shows a kind of, a negligence if you will. part of the reason i believe is if you know, classification systems here in washington, they're best the abuse. i mean, probably my view is 90 percent or more of documents classified or not and should not be classified. and so the users of the documents and i had access to them when i was in the justice department become kind of negligent. there's really very little or anything there that being sensitive and so they don't really pay much

attention to being careful about. my suspicion is that if you look at all the costs by documents taken from our lago and taken from byte, there's nothing that would cause an ordinary person. they, oh my gosh, this is dangerous to the national security. so this is why even though many, many years afterwards, where you figure that mr. buying would have protocols to go through good at a slow basis to see where the react. anything was never done. because no one really think classified information really means anything and leaks every day out to the washington post new york times wall street journal, wherever you want to make a point. and that's why i think the find this kind of situation occurring still. head on al jazeera, thousands of demonstrators gather in televi than western jocelyn to po test against his wrath new, far right government. and took he, it cancels a visit by the swedish defense minister after a danish far right meter bangs the koran. outside his embassy in sweden.

ah, still a dynamic weather in europe is revolving around. the mediterranean is very obvious, is sick and she's been there for a few days now. it's brought snow to maps of north africa. it's also about snow now to the balkans that all this was fairly warm weather recently and it's still quite warm in places like romania and moldova. but there's definitely snow falling on the ground and rain at lower levels along the croatian coast, dancer, albania, western greece. it's rain, the north coast of africa's, roger. it's rain for the european plain jerry speaking it's cold, often overcast, has been some snow significant snow paradise drifting down through the check republican through southern germany. there's been significant snow in the outs recently and it might well return to the southern outs with this system still there

during monday, and you'll notice tempted to round 11 degrees in syria before so rain instead of it's dodgy, could be, are, isn't, it looks like it's turning milder again throughout the balkans. magnolia, what happened in the massive north africa. it's a quiet picture. otherwise the raw showers as there always are in west africa, around the coast. but the substantial range of course is for the south seas. no rain that runs run go through zambia towards townsend. he has given some flooding recently, worst of all and still a potential in northern madagascar. ah . talk to al jazeera, we are a somehow abandoned by the international community. we listen, we are paying a huge price for the war against terrorism. what's going on monday? we meet with global news makers. i'm talk about the story stuck on al jazeera, a ward winning documentary from around the world

on out 0. ah ah ah, you're watching al jazeera live from doha reminder of our top stories this our china is celebrating the new new year without colby 19 restrictions for the 1st time in more than 3 years. tens of millions of people have traveled to very rural home towns, but health workers say infections, good spreads working. fossils military rulers have given find shrubs one month to leave. the country comes 2 days after hundreds of people demonstrated in the capital against francis military presence. they blamed the former colonial power

for failing to secure the country. perused famous suicide microfiche who has been closed as protests against the government read hundreds of tory so stranded the demonstrators are demanding the resignation of president deena blue. washy and the release of former president federal castillo and new zealand, a ruling party, and peace have chosen cris hipkins to be the next prime minister. hipkins received unanimous support from the labor party he'll be officially sworn in on wednesday. hipkins replaces dressing the order and who resigned after more than 5 years in the post. adrian brown has more from wellington. sunday's events here in wilmington had a very sort of pre ordained feel to them. that's because chris hipkins nomination was of course, uncontested. so it all happened very quickly. senior labor party officials wanted

consensus and a smooth transition. they got it with a party now running around and it's new leader. we are now in the sort of post just under our durn era. and it's been another important moment in new zealand politics on sunday because the deputy prime minister is going to be of samoan and tongan to send carmel. salome is the 1st pacific islander to hold this posed, and she was previously the minister. i went to the social development so many ways . this is a, a natural progression in a country which has always been very proud of its gender quality. this, after all, is the 1st country in the world where women got the vote, a 130 years ago. and where today, more than half of new zealand parliamentarians are female. the media here and use eden has been focusing, of course on the reasons why does inter are done decided to step down. and most of them agree. it was partly the result of this online campaign of hate that she has

been subjected to. and every one of course hopes that her success across hipkins will not be subjected to the same sort of vitriol process. several held against israel view right when coalition government, dennis plans to reform the judicial system demonstrate as rallied and televi than westhills them for a 3rd straight weekend. they say the reforms or we can the power of the supreme court undermined freedoms and give the government absolute power a mankind was at the protest in west joseph. we have just a quick look around. you'll see this 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 saying in these protests. and these protests, including the benjamin netanyahu, is a criminal that democracy must be defended as real concerns her over civil rights.

for example. now, 3 weeks ago these protests were spots by proposed changes by the justice minister to the supreme court. they were effectively don't to strip the supreme court of any . now they have to overturn parliament decisions. it's cult 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. 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, the very conservative city. so a lot that values a lot of people's values. they align with the governments. but because of this, the right approach has to say to democracy, they are incredibly concerned. but is it going to change anything?

well, that's the question i put to the purchase as well. you see here, people from all, all kinds, all kinds of various policies is this thing, those change which was, 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 the more people that go out it will give more pressure to the government to stop this law like laws against the demo democracy. now it's not just here across israel in high for, for example, i didn't tell of iep 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 then will

it 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. ticky has cancelled a planned visit by sweden's defense minister thus after a danish far right politician. burnt a copy of the koran outside the turkish embassy in stockholm past most palo dan holds both danish and swedish nationalities. he's he got permission from police to hold the rally. sweden's foreign minister says the government doesn't endorse fellow dan's hughes. and what he called is lamb a phobic publications are appalling. sin m gazillion has more from a stumble. all reactions by the turkish authorities say the same thing. they

condemn this protest. and they accuse swedish authorities for giving permission for to such, such a mac. that in their terms, encouraged, hate crime and islam of phobia in s whedon. and that's why the reactions from the turkey sides from the turkish politicians have been har so far. and at a turkish foreign ministries, calling on sweden and other countries in the west to take necessary measures. because a for the ir for anchor of these kinds of protests, just a provoke, a different actions, different emotions in people. this is what they have sat so far. of course, the protests are not limited a, with a core on burning, there have been protests targeting and true care for the last couple of weeks since if finland and sweden are trying to be members of nato. and everything is packed to turkey as approval as

a nato member. things are critical of 3 countries signed as 3 way agreement that would finally allow these countries to be in a to members a for on korea. these kinds of acts by sweden, or just violating the agreement, signed by de 3. trickier also have a list of 103rd to people that are wants to be extradited from sweden. enter kia, has been accusing sweden for not a taking the necessary measures. and i being commented to the agreement, coll built is a former swedish prime minister and the co chair of the european council on foreign relations. he says rasmus bouldin's actions do not reflect the government's views. this week is government has nothing to do was ever with was sort of isolated, extreme is loonies of which we have. so i mean we, we're not entirely loading the world and having loonies running around in the streets, want to do things. and please try to say that they see that they do it at places

that doesn't cause any harm. a 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. hotels were back on the screen. so francis capital on saturday, angry at a plan to raise every time in age from 62 to 64, the government says a change is vital to safeguard the state pension system. saturday's money follows a nationwide strike on thursday as a plan for later this week. and another mass strike has been called for january 31st. now it's not every day that an image acquire a gets a chance to perform in front of a crowd of thousands. but after months of rehearsals, that's what one group in chile did as i land america to lucy and human resource. the show is a chance to make classical music more accessible to everyone. chiles, former central railroad station, influenced by french architect who starved
