from all over the country national guard troops in this case from washington state in the far northwest of the u.s. join thousands of other so-called weekend warriors to secure the inauguration all of them military trained men and women given time away from their regular jobs to serve where needed their presence is requested in the capital city and much appreciated by capitol police who were overrun on january 6th in a siege of the capitol building there also appreciated by residents here. back here and you know why they're here and that's a little bit you know and also disappointing that the city's sort of been turned upside down as a result of what happened a couple weeks ago it's been really scary because we're concerned not only for the capital in the buildings the white house the neighborhoods because we live just very very close to here the stage is set for wednesday's inauguration ceremony on the steps of the capitol building an event that normally draws hundreds of

thousands. but in 2021 kilometer after kilometer of steel fencing has been set to prevent access to not only the seats of government but even the residences of those in the incoming biden administration. what it is john but. are trying to you know create problems it's not only washington d.c. concerned about violent attack minnesota's snowy capitol indeed the capitals of all 50 states are beefing up security for protests that could go well beyond the ordinary remaining national guard are on standby should the run up to the presidential inauguration or the day itself turn ugly. well as we've just heard thousands of national guard troops are in washington d.c. to secure biden's and ok russian so how do americans feel about seeing their capital on the what is essentially

a military lockdown we spoke to us based journalist telling mila. it's a pretty interesting situation to see a lot of people are pretty freaked out by it or at least sorry. that d.c. is in lockdown and i've talked to a couple people in d.c. who said they're completely over this situation they want the area to open back gobbets a little odd irving when you see roads blocked and bridges shut down of the national mall closed didn't you know people are just tired of it they're ready to get back to some semblance of normal. and from now let's get you up to speed on the latest developments in the corona virus pandemic and the european medicines i see says hackers are attempting to undermine public trust in vaccines the drugs regulate and maintain stolen documents were manipulated and leaked online front's is bringing forward and nationwide curfew by 2 hours to 6 pm will break his face hefty fines or

even jail thanks and i should say in germany have passed 1000000 covering more than one percent of the population and then china has been found to be contaminated with coded $193.00 samples tested positive for the virus. well russian opposition leader is heading home from germany where he's been recovering from a nerve agent attack that almost killed him the volley insists that russian president vladimir putin ordered the poisoning which the kremlin denies now in the volley is risking a wrist on a rival of early a suspended sentence. but. hi it's deval me with that for mil your greeting kremlin critic alexei navalny announced his plans to leave germany and return home to russia despite the fact that last time he was there he was fighting for his life good morning at the coming to germany was not my choice it's a cool country but i am not here by my own will i am here because they tried to kill me those people who now have

a grudge against me because they didn't manage to kill me and i survived. back in august of only fell ill on board a plane from tomsk to moscow after an emergency landing he was rushed to hospital where doctors insisted there was no evidence of poisoning. but 2 days later novell me was airlifted to germany for treatment there experts confirmed he had been poisoned with soviet era nerve agent nova chuck sense then the opposition leader has been recovering from the attack and investigating who was behind it. he even got an alleged member of the hit squad to confess by calling him posing as an aide to a top f.s.b. official the agent said the team had put the poison in of all these underwear the kremlin has denied any link to the poisoning but volney insists it was ordered by president vladimir putin himself now in developing is facing arrest on his return authorities say he's breached the terms of the suspended sentence he received in

a 2014 fraud trial but not only says it's just another move designed to scare him off without success. is that quote for us last time of only was on russian soil aaron someone tried to kill him why is he going back. well alexina of all in the has never made any secret of the fact that he always intended to return to russia you have to remember he is the most prominent member of the russian opposition and the most visible thanks in large part to a lot of his social media work and also his work with his anti-corruption foundation and that work is very hard to coordinate from abroad and of course within russia itself there's for a long time been the sentiment that it's very hard to be a russian politician when you're not in the country directly one just has to think of the opposition aligned oligarchy who after

a lengthy prison term was actually forced into political exile abroad now he quickly lost relevance within russia itself and i think that's a fate that alexei navalny really hoped to avoid which is part of the reason that he's taken the step to return to the country today. have been cleared but i should apologize to the viewers that we do have a lot to live of we're going to play along and ask you how much these last at risk in russia. well after like last year's assassination attempt of course concerns of his own personal safety are going to be weighing heavily on his mind that being said it's not clear that he's in in media danger. of mortal danger upon returning to the country instead this seems to be kind of a politically politically calculated gambit upon his part he's attempting to up the pressure on vladimir putin which is something he does appear to be doing quite

successfully by returning to the country if putin doesn't take action against him he runs the risk of actually appearing weak to his own voters and his own supporters within the country but at the same time if lattimer putin does choose to take action against an avanti he could run the risk of waking new sympathies for and of all in the with in russia and also abroad and other people have floated the idea that if election of all me is actually arrested upon his return he could actually become kind of a cause celeb of a tale among both russians and also politicians abroad and now that's not a very attractive prospect for the man in the kremlin which is part of the reason i think that he has chosen to undergo this gambit actually return to the country. and just very briefly before we go what exactly. that threatened to have me arrested on his return. well the most pressing are allegations that he violated the conditions of a suspended sentence he was given for corruption in 20132014 now moscow's prison

authority maintains that he would need to have checked in with his parole officers while he was receiving treatment here in germany now they say that didn't happen which is part of the reason they are pressing for his arrest when he returns to moscow later today aren't that many thanks ok let's take a look now at some of the other stories making news around the world. gunmen have shot dead 2 thing now supreme court judges during an early morning ambush in the afghan capital kabul violence surged recently despite peace talks between the afghan government and the taliban in qatar more than 200 women judges work for the top court. at least $73.00 people are thanking fans did after an earthquake in indonesia rescuers are still searching for survivors under the rubble more than 2 days after the quake struck west province it's not clear how many are still missing . the sport now in the bundesliga leipzig throw away

mafia trial in decades here in a specially billed bunker courtroom set up to accommodate them together with hundreds of lawyers and witnesses the in the i'm getting now operates in the shadows for example by importing tons of cocaine from that america and quietly buying power and influence over europe this and their twisted but strong sense of family are the main reasons why it's so hard to fight the family clans we haven't who are tells us now working with prosecutors he was raised to become a powerful us. that if you start with guns as a child back you shoot. if you carry guns and you're a kid and it's all a game to you. the kids have toit guns but you're a real you're not afraid of being beat but of disappointing those who are training you. went into to smuggle drugs extorted people and even participated in murders but after the birth of his 2nd child he decided this life was no longer for him and

westernmost region she's an ethnic azar born in china and was living in kazakhstan at the time on a trip back to china she was detained by police and then held for a year in several reeducation camps. although they tortured us they had cameras everywhere you were not allowed to pass scratch your head or cry if they saw that they would force you want to a metal chair they would make you sit there for 12 hours 24 hours you were tied to the chair and if you tried to move it would get tighter then they make you repeat chinese words that you didn't know if you forgotten they used electroshock device on your head back in kazakhstan her family did not know where she was at the same time authorities in china suddenly started to detain large numbers of the region's muslim minorities i traveled to the region to see for myself middle school number 4 of our county was one of the camps she had been to in 2018

a high wall was built around the school and shacks were built in the courtyard today the school is back to what it was china has defended the facilities as book ational training centers and declared that by 2019 all trainees had graduated but 0 has also told us that many of our former inmates would later transfer to regular prison on the outskirts of 2 more facilities. there are now 5 policemen following week. a prison with watchtowers and another camp with both built in 2017 when the campaign against ethnic minorities took off the old stuff left. their home town if you film here we will have to take measures against you on this place is a state secret rooms and. we 0 was told she was detained because she had been to kazakhstan that was seen as

used to real school yet with his mother's help peter was learning to read and write in his living room. because we have the ever managed to do everything that is supposed to be done that day and. we have i really never wanted to be a teacher i don't know how you get someone to write a letter after 27 times in a row if they don't want to read minds and i notice after 5 minutes. plato's teachers students and on of the tanker use their own private laptops to remotely support these homeschooling efforts. yes they offer a question and answer session several times a week via video but teaching 6 year olds to read write and do mass remotely it's difficult. and. you know on monday can argue that there's some children that we can't reach at all right now they're learning very little and we try to get them to come into school and then we work with them here at least the

tablets provided by the berlin city government can now be distributed to children who have no digital devices that talk experts say this should have happened long ago back to feed to us homeschooling his mom did i do is currently on prevention leave her husband is working there just about coping with homeschooling my. parents or do you think you can work and teach your kids at the same time is an illusion as if there's me running saying i'm going to tell the world what is that it's impossible to come by home office and. everyone in the family knows that this is not how it was meant to be not just hope things will get back to no sooner rather than later.

this man loves to eat his christmas tree. timbers are tourist season and i know whether it's needles bark or blood and. everything is at a ball. all right. back to the brand. loaf. sweet treats better business chocolate. dirty side of cocoa production is especially evident in on. illegal plantations have destroyed primeval forest adults and children work like slaves.

that coming up later in the show. but 1st a very warm welcome to new edition of euro max and this is what else we have in store for you. to turning your christmas tree into tasty meal. and transforming every day junk into amazing goods. this is not a u.f.o. i'm not trying to contest they have the answer it's actually a musical instrument called berriman all you have to do to play it is moved without even touching it the instrument uses a magnetic field to create musical tones when i play it it doesn't sound much like music so we met up with one of the best seremban players in the world to show us

how it's done. 2 2 instead she played the pheromone without touching it. moving once it will move in the air the explode all around so i can play a note here or here or here or here. carolyn or i numbers among the world's best there are many players she's an echo classic award winner and performs regularly as a soloist the world over here in concert with the brussels philharmonic.

she also plays electronic music she wrote herself. fehrman sets up an electromagnetic field back me influenced by the human body that in turn changes the sound. of this upright antenna determines the pitch when i move towards the antenna the pitch rises. and this little 1010 you're on the other side controls the volume so if i move further away the sound gets louder. russian physicist lee and their men unveiled the instrument in 920 some of the musicians and bands who have experimented with it since are the beach boys led zeppelin tom waits and as johnny shows yaar. the movie going

public is familiar with the sound of this forbear of the synthesizer from horror and science fiction films it's still used occasionally on soundtracks even now. because this tradition came about because when the pheromone was 1st developed musicians played with lots of abroad even on the violin and other instruments. among us if you apply that to the thera many it sounds a bit spooky. carolyn i got her very 1st fareham in at age 7 she learned to play from among others the inventor's own grandniece. by age 16 she developed a new technique that's now in general use worldwide that allows the musician to play with far greater precision the instrument reacts to every slightest movement.

ever if i so much as breathe. that changes the sound. so to play a very precise note was i have to stay completely still. but if i play notes more freely in an experimental performance for instance i can move my entire body. carolina are expensive years and stockholm leipzig in los angeles recently moving back to berlin normally she would be playing concerts the world over with the corona pandemic raging she has no live appearances instead she's been working on a new album passing on her expertise the tribal governments right i've been writing my 2nd primer for the famine 15 years ago i wrote my 1st one and now i'm putting out a supplement of course i'd be happy to see people one from it and the ferryman becoming

more widely accessible have. the pheromone was one of the 1st of our tronic instruments now 100 years after it was invented it still sounds futuristic. christmas is over but some people still keep the christmas tree until the end of january then out strong on to the sidewalk where the trash collectors pick it up sometimes the trees are brought to visit for the animals to snack on have you ever wondered how it tastes i actually haven't but an austrian ecologist was cheerios and decided to take a bite and he discovered that you actually can eat your christmas tree.

wood candy. the christmas tree looks good enough to teach literally. a christmas tree is actually a food with a very exciting taste that just stands in our living rooms and has never been eaten before. but let's start at the very beginning i had to add caesar and is a woodland ecologist from austria in a forest outside of vienna he collects wood to use as an ingredient in some ingenious recipes trees aren't just for building and decorating they can be tasty treats or wood has an incredible variety of flavors everything really from the oak trees vanilla and chocolate taste with a bit of coconut to the poplars honey flavor or the alder tree with a touch of raspberry it's really an unbelievable range. just like the bark of a cinnamon tree local species can also be tapped to use as spices his favorite is

finely ground plain bark. flavor is very interesting it's very intensive with a resinous touch to it as you might imagine but also if you know the taste of really dark chocolate the 100 percent cocoa type it also has a bit of that. the trees edible layer is called the can be and it carries water up the trunk into the branches and crown caesar got the idea to sample the cambium while out canoeing one day and he observed a beaver family on the shore. a light bulb went on in my head who would know better about the taste of the tree than the beaver that list from it and always looks quite well fed. so i started to try out the bark and cambium from various trees. those are the parts the beavers actually eat. ecology and eating. are 2 interests that go together quite well the woodland gourmet has

a rather original plan for discarded christmas trees. for your friends now i'll show you how you can prepare the entire christmas tree right from the needles down to the bark cambium and even the wood. first of course the decorations come off then the pine has to be stripped down. 2 for the 1st course the needles are ground up and mixed with knots parmesan cheese and oil to make a creamy pesto. to get to the juicy candy and the bark has to be peeled away from the trunk it can be fried in the oil to make ultra crispy and surprisingly delicious chips. for dessert i had to work dries the pine bark and bakes cookies with it. he has to grind it up very fine. mixed with butter sugar and

a little flour it yields a dope with a somewhat chocolaty flavor. or so a group of it and lastly the ground bark is mixed in and the oven a wonderful pine aroma long fold. and so with a little preparation and a bit of imagination you don't need to sit down at an empty table you can have a 3 course christmas tree meal next year the old tree won't get thrown out but cooked baked served up and eaten the woodland ecologist has no doubt whatsoever. my business tree tastes better than any holiday dinner.

paltrow and elton john are among her fans and her even appealed to the queen. old strands of pearls bridge is not. using these and other costume jewelry this artist constructs a sparkling gallion in arduous and painstaking detail. my names and towns and i'm an artist and i make sculptures like this from objects other people might throw away. discarded hangers become the focus of a head dress. old buttons are transformed into a postage stamp some cameras can use and bottle caps for busts modeled in classical tradition and carrington turned junk into. i like using materials that other people don't notice and bring bring them to their

attention something that might be overlooked like a button or a button copy that require a beautiful thing i think it's nice to shine a light on moving objects and for people to be able to see them in a different light. this b.k. of flowers is also made of scrap metal. the british audience depends how much. food is into the petals and stems of flour as. she welds the silverware into a much nissen range meant to flower as the impulse to create this sculpture came from old monster paintings this was inspired by a that i saw in a painting in the rights museum in. and i decided that i wanted to make a sculpture inspired by his still life painting. now i'm carrington's own extravagant bouquets are being exhibited in the victorian albert museum in london

these elaborate pieces cost up 210-0000 euros many celebrities are ready having carrington at home also appeals to the taste of british royalty. in 2012 of the 60 s jubilee of queen elizabeth the 2nd carrington constructed an opulent run up from about half a 1000000 golden button the design was developed in close consultation with prince charles the banner was great job for the stern of the ship in which the ball family embarked on a program cruise. i've lived in america in and of course for you i've been making posted. and actually making a painting. with wonderful. carrington finds the material for her ass in junk shops like this one in her adopted hometown of margate in southeast england . a specific object often captures her attention becoming the foundation for

a new piece of work. similar materials to make my artworks lots of multiples and i when i come somewhere like this i'm going to find multiples. if i don't have enough hair sometimes i'll go on a. scrap yard. an auction during her studies more than 30 years ago carrington was a ready working with found everyday objects she used a wide variety of materials including 10 but there's one that still tempts i've actually like to work with glass so i recently did a glass course. i can glass a little bit but i'm still no expert but. i've been looking at objects like this been thinking wouldn't it be fascinating to build maybe crystal flowers so. building blocks using perfume bottles. no

matter what material she gets her hands on and carrington turns in conspicuous junk into beautiful parts of art. it's called the land of fire and ice and for good reason iceland is home to some of the world's most active volcanoes and largest glaciers in fact the biggest glacier in europe is in iceland for our series europe so the next we send your america report ahead with a vending to brave the cold and explore this extra ordinary place so poor only over cold coals. iceland in winter it's a place of snow and icy extremes this is the largest glacier in europe.

but climate change is endangering its crevices of ice caves and clogging ice bergs hard time to explore them on board. or on for a rather large wheel. but neither could glacier this picture of the enormous ice cap in southeast iceland with the volume of some 3000 cubic kilometers no other glacier in western europe holds more it stretches over 140 kilometers east to west across the island southeast. the western tip lies over 300 kilometers from the capital they carried along the southern ring ropes. my 1st destination is an ice skate at the glaciers edge. of the battery park ventura.

case can only be reached in a specially adapted sheet of all goes well the trip takes about half an hour. but the weather in iceland is quite unpredictable the road conditions to. we cover the final stretch of the journey on foot why. these aren't fun we are here at one of the bottom of your cruise 40 some glacier tops the ice caves underneath are a popular tourist attraction. the thicker the eyes and the less oxygen it contains the more intense of the color. and you see in the very eyes the color of this is it's mind blowing.

it's leading you. guys caves can only be entered safely during the winter months when the ice overhead stay. after it warms up many of them disappear forever. in the summer time the temperature goes up the ice is melting and we've got water flowing this is cutting the ice which is creating the caves but also the glaciers are retreating because of global warming so when we go to the cave at the edge of the glacier the next year it's more probably gone it's a melted where we have to go looking for nuking. the next day i approached europe's largest leisure from another side. richard ellis taking me to another glacier tongue. the higher we climbed the ice here and.

here i'm beginning to realize the true dimensions of this glacier. the ice reaches a maximum of 950 meters thick but like most glaciers these days the outlook is just retreating. likewise there was almost a top of that large. concrete that was kind of the level of the price here so it's gone mad. yeah like trying to have tomatoes the last 100 years it's a very fragile carrot or gleiser if you want so when are that china going to last another sort of trade of 300 years and worst of it will be gone. in our descent the storm took us by surprise. at the foot of the volcano you could glacier confronted with the vastness of nature and suddenly feel very very small. liberals
