hearing as the highest degree of lawlessness in germany the u.k. and other western nations have called for his immediate release now in a volley was detained shortly after arriving on a flight from berlin he'd been recovering in germany from a nerve agent attack last august which he blames squarely on the kremlin. with. a kiss goodbye to his take it was. arrested at passport control just minutes after expressing hope he might go free anybody who says i'm not afraid. to go through border control i'll cross the border and go home i know i'm right. against me are fake. police arrested dozens of supporters who wanted to greet the kremlin critic personally the floridians had to clear their presence illegal and blocked access to the terminal with police vehicles some kremlin observers say the response shows the russian government is

afraid of all the people put out food meat but said you could have on the is dangerous otherwise they wouldn't want to imprison or kill him but he was fearless and now he's also famous even outside of russia that is exactly what the kremlin doesn't want. who are recognized by 70 or 80 percent of the population and who cannot be controlled from. august 20th last year he was admitted to hospital in siberia after he lost consciousness on a flight of all his wife asked president vladimir putin permission to send her husband to germany for treatment surprisingly the kremlin allowed it. was treated for several weeks at the charity hospital in berlin during this time german army scientists found evidence that the russian had been poisoned with a nerve agent novacek other western experts came to the same conclusion. russia meanwhile disk. the allegations as

a political ploy by the west and has so far refused to investigate the attack asked about the at his annual press conference a lot of our putin responded with mockery. relation to it that we could become one who needs him if we had wanted to we would have finished him off with a gun to putin was responding to allegations that his so-called killer squad from the domestic intelligence agency the f.s.b. had poisoned him but instead of addressing these allegations moscow has now put the behind bars. and let's get the latest now from moscow correspondent emily share when emily we understand alexina volley was rushed to a court hearing inside a moscow police station today tell us a little bit more about what has been reportedly been happening there. well instead of bringing need to court the authorities clearly seem to have decided to bring the court to him he's being tried directly in the detention center where he also spent

the night he says that he was informed about the trial taking place just a few minutes before it started he was taken from his cell that's what he said and his lawyers have said that they were also not informed about the trial until just a few minutes before it was apparently scheduled to start now vining is being tried according to the authorities on an embezzlement case the prison service here in russia has said that he broke the terms of the parole on a suspended sentence and by not appearing with his parole officer here in russia because of course he was in germany in part because he was in a coma and they are now asking for that conditional sentence to be turned into real jail time so that's what the trial is that is happening right now of course this case was actually already declared by the european court of human rights to be

quote basically unreasonable they said and arbitrary they said that back in 2017 in a ruling and viney himself has said that what is happening today makes a mockery of the rule in law in russia and he puts it down to the man in the kremlin blood in your putin being afraid of him and that's not the only international body those are also been a lot of reaction on the political level as well we have to mention a lot of international condemnation of his arrest what has the kremlin's reaction been to the. well yesterday a spokeswoman for the foreign ministry responded to some of those comments including one comment from the u.s. from the u.s. and she said that the u.s. should stop sticking its nose basically in the national affairs of russia today we heard a comment from a city lover of the foreign minister here in russia he said that all those western

politicians commenting on what's happening to me are just trying to distract from the fact that liberal values are essentially bankrupt that's what he's been saying and yesterday when the kremlin spokesperson to meet people was asked about his arrest he said that he didn't know what had happened and that's of course in keeping with the kremlin's general policy to kind of downplay the importance of i would say now finally here in russia and on the the international stage in fact lead here putin has never actually referred to it say now viney using his name he always refers to him as the blogger and more recently also as the berlin patient family sure when with the view from moscow thanks so much. as we were just discussing with emily there the volleys of arrest has prompted massive international condemnation u.s. secretary of state my pompei o called it the latest in a series of russian attempts to silence involving the use foreign affairs chief

joseph burrell calls on russian authorities to respect the volleys rights and release them immediately german foreign minister heikal mosse reiterated that call he said no volumes arrest was totally in comprehensible let's bring in your good your team member of the german parliament for the green party you also sits on the board just hogs foreign affairs committee welcome to the program thank you for joining us we just heard those harsh words from the german foreign minister will it be only harsh words from germany or does more need to be done and. international pressure and. i think much more caught and that is not our public global awareness what would happen to same have money and i think he has from his point of view to go back to playing his role with a view to the elections in iraq shot this autumn back there is

a specific public awareness that. makes it highly risk for the putin regime not to care about sarah it is a brave action he did but i think from his point of view it was necessary to go back way and that that was happening what everyone expected that he should it be detained at the moment of arrival how concerned are you about his safety now that he's back in russia i'm really concerned because i am male and the experience from the last 10 years are that there are no real limits for this stage of russia if i'm not on the murder of. mrs police cars cars and the police

cars kyra and i pace it is obvious in that direction security of horses are able to kill people and. even lie to me a poutine committed to it on his annual press conference and i think in the actual situation. there is a very very high risk for the russian government. that. and therefore i hope nothing really serious will happen to alex saying about it given all of that that you've mentioned i just like to come back to the 1st question that i asked you about whether or not more needs to be done on the german side in order to put pressure on russia because of course in the wake of his poisoning there were those sanctions which were brought up how likely do you think it is that russian president vladimir putin will bow to pressure from the e.u.

and the us and does more need to be done. the european union reacted promptly after the p.c. w populates it's reported that and i say not only was poisoned by not talk and the implement they implemented and it was correctly to do says some person a targeted sanctions. we should go in that way is something will happen to us that say no we should take into responsibility who are responsible. here contain member of the german parliament foreign affairs committee and of the green party thank you so much for joining us on the w. and let's get you up to speed now with some other news from around the world rescuers in china say that 12 miners

after january 6th law enforcement agents won't be letting their guard down. after the storm ahead of joe biden's inauguration wednesday the level of security in washington is on president it after the attack on the capitol on january 6th there is a fear of further on rast not just here but across the united states. that's all of this stand that there's a perceived or a real success of the january 6 attack so these organizations are now an old by setting out if you will deterring future events because of the presence of law enforcement and military that's sending a message to people reading as recently as today that many of these organizations decided that they want to stand down. the investigation into the siege of the capitol is posing on comfortable questions why was it so easy for the rioters to

beat both the west and the east side of the building. new video evidence of the storming emerges daily it's not clear that dozens of the rioters were listed in the f.b.i.'s database as potential terrorists and democrats are asking if the rioters had inside help from republican officials. their servers of congress and through the capitol that i saw and generate their. own recognizance the next day those numbers in congress that decided the silent crowd. do individual republican officials have links to radical groups and if so how extensive are the investigators are ruling nothing odd security inside the capitol has been stepped up with lawmakers now required to submit to metal detectors guns. several 100 arrests have been made across the country in connection with the storming of the capital. this man was detained in nashville tennessee on sunday.

experts believe there are night tens of thousands of far right militants in the united states who could be mobilized by radical organizations. it's going to be a constant challenge as we deal with them because it's a they've been radicalized and the numbers have grown obviously over the last over the term of this last administration and we're hoping now that we can return to some sense of normalcy that these agencies could be restored in the guardrails that were placed for a constitution can be put back in place for annoy the capital secure the stage for the inauguration to set fire zones of national guard troops are on standby they would all be hoping that the calm after the storm does not become the calm before the storm. and joe biden has promised you unto you many of president trump's policies from his very 1st day at the white house that has fired up some latin americans who are hoping that the incoming administration will be less tough on my

gratian thousands of migrants from central america are already gathering in guatemala for a push toward the united states mexican border officials are reportedly on alert for their arrival. the tomatoes border guards stood little chance against this current of humanity. until they fired their tear gas. 7 work even then resistance was futile as the crowd breached their lines i think i. think we were informed just last night that elements of the 100. criminal gangs and organized crime had infiltrated the crowds. in a little this group of several 1200 migrants are determined to reach the us now in

guatemala they've been walking for weeks escaping an economy battered by the pandemic gang violence and hurricane they're seeking a better life in the north i was. going after the american dream because in our country there's no jobs there's a lot of crime and you cannot make a living in our house was swept away by hurricanes. with the new u.s. administration being sworn in this week and joe biden promising a more humane approach to immigration because travelers are hopeful. but 1st the whole find a job in the u.s. we think about off families and want to help those who helped us. as families we up there next move mexican authorities have begun deploying

reinforcements to their border an agreement with the u.s. stops them letting my current through but like so many before them the people here see no alternative but to keep going. oh you're watching news still to come on the program we will find out if buyers munich managed to get back to their winning ways after 2 straight defeats to face to trick people in this league encounter against and fabulously on form drive. no major economy was able to grow last year because of the coronavirus pandemic excepts china its economy beat expectations in 2020 growing by 2.3 percent was boosted by a strong 4th quarter it makes it the only major economy to avoid shrinking last year as countries struggle with the impact of covert 19 now beijing's tough measures to contain the virus are thought to be one reason behind the growth.

well let's get more on that we're joined now by d.w. is kate ferguson she's joining us from business so put this these numbers in context for us because i mean of course everyone is used to spectacular growth figures from china. what does this mean what we're seeing right now well obviously this is very good news for china because not only does it reflect the fact that the country has managed to get the coronavirus under control it also shows its relative success compared to the rest of the world as you said every other major economy is slandering right now at this growth was primarily driven by a rise in industrial production and that is a sector that benefits a lot from state support in china but it also was bolstered by foreign to mond in december of chinese exports rose 18 percent and that's because the rest of the world was buying things like medical equipment and protective gear now what wasn't quite as good as expected was consumer spending i'm not really shows that people are still feeling quite uncertain there has been another virus i break in the head by province in the north of the country it's unlocked and now so i think people do

feel that nowhere in the world is quite out of the woods yet ok what does it be for the rest of the world to think well i think it would be naive to think that economic power does not confer political leverage so major economies like the u.s. and the you have been watching this and they are very worried and they've been complaining about chinese trade practices for years now i things like the level of state subsidies the insistence on joint ventures for foreign companies doing business in china but at the same time the punishment has really shown how interdependent the global economy is and no country can really afford not to do business with china last month with a great a huge investment pact which will make it easier for european companies to do business in china the u.s. this time last year great that phase one of a trade deal which addressed similar concerns now trump was very belligerent in his in his tone towards china but the issues he said he raised were really very controversial and joe biden has said he's going to be similarly tough so be

interesting to see how little play and policy any weakness in the chinese. economy definitely the property sector is over he saying very rapid process of urbanization has led to a big rise in house prices recently so there are fears that that could overheat and that we could see a crash coming there ok kid ferguson thank you. now in sports news next month australian open tennis tournament has descended into chaos with $72.00 players having to quarantine in their hotel rooms for 2 weeks that is after other people on their flight into australia tested positive for cope with 19 media reports say that a player is also now infective authorities in melbourne say there can be no relaxation of the strict rules but some players say they were not sufficiently warned of their possible isolation. this is not usual preparation for

these go india. there is a big buzz behind the small. bees in the indian region of her dash. kumar is a beekeeper here using traditional methods she wants to protect the native species they are endangered and of course so very important for the farmers and the

ecosystem to keep. too old. or not too well. what about it should come instead. of. the change in thinking is changing the economy to create something new. the economics magazine. on t.w. . new. life on earth the coming to. a gigantic coincidence.

previously the earth was just in a messy chemistry lab i thought mission. where the impossible but. the truth of the creation of our solar system with our planet is a bit like winning the lottery there is a good. model for earth. starts feb 11th on t.w. . a sure would be is a thinking animal a mandate is to use our minds to maintain balance and harmony not to create. that a millions of different species which inhabit the planet for that and many of them

are going extinct because of auditing how do we make sure the. inhabitable not only for us but for every living organism that's what we talk about in the whole welcome to india i'm sunk that i. let's start in the northeast indian state of assam at the start of the 20th century there were only $201.00 horn drive remaining in the world the largest royal species they could be found all over the northern part of the indian sub continent in the last 100 years conservation efforts have brought the numbers up to 3700 contributing to this effort is an organization which is using vinyl dogs. and is raising the venice about the well notable species. this material has a very special structure and each eat its own unique composition it's used to make

lampshades notepads and even clocks for a global clientele. the paper manufactured by the woman in the small workshop in assam is chiefly comprised of rhino and elephant droppings a notion that may have some turning their nose up but this done is actually ideal for making paper as entrepeneur explains 2 2 from a paper making point of view these are the 2 and the most with dung is the most fibrous they eat long grasses they have what these animals have a big digestive process so when they're fit for 5 hours available to us to just boil and basically get the fiber the pulp can all go on like a lot of other and they move where they would they existed there would be not enough 5 available which is why you work with the fiber of these animals besides the fact the very symbolically and functionally good from the people point of view they are inventive. and there's no shortage of dung in these parts the woodlands of the state offices are home to around 2400 rhinos and at least twice that number of

elephants fertile territory for an innovative concept. recycling by left excrement to make paper was in fact an idea born out of necessity. animals and people live in close proximity here the roads villages and farms are increasing the intruding on the habitat of local vite life not to mention the sprawling plantations growing to famous a sonti. many of the animals live in the protected natural parks and when seasonal rainfall causes the river brahmaputra to flood twice a year there's an additional problem. over here is our village. and just over there less than one kilometer is the park there are a lot of wild animals living there but i notice. diagnose and water buffalo when

the reward birds its banks the animal know they are in danger and end up roaming through our village. and by seeking refuge they also look for food rice harvests here i regularity devastated by rhinos and elephants. i grew up. with. me we would always find the animals on the street everywhere money home with. during the rainy season they would come and forage for food. and when we woke up they would be out in the field. to day sure come our nothing is out collecting rhino down which killed then dry out before it's made into paper he's very much an exception however.

typically the villages are not in the. collection process because we don't want to start monetizing it because that could again lead to a forest resources that are very sensitive issues so we have to lead very carefully but we do collect dung from straying animals on one hand it travels then to us in the factory a now which is where we make people. the idea for employing local villagers to turn dung into paper came from the shovel or us father the retired cool mining engineer wanted to give something back to me. and that undertaking has been a boon for local communities creating new livelihoods or most people had no regular jobs among them as model because. they were run at the bottom of a what i now plan to save up and buy a tract of. we have to pay a lot of money to hire tractors to tell our land that they have that i want to buy one of our own. dung is combined with

natural fibers sourced from farms waste such as jude fruit and cotton. the resulting product is therefore also better for the environment than regular paper. paper making use of loosely while the most water intensive industries in the world and is responsible for a lot of what we still have a lot of work goes on around this. we use don't you that i know what it would be also the water that you use because it has no chemical in it be just use a basic nutrition and it gets pumped back into the. recycling own water in. the past year was a tough one for the company as demand committed to do the coronavirus pandemic over the next 2 years they're planning to break down production into smaller units to enable their team to work from home. the enterprise has provided

a welcome source of jobs plus a son of the company's product saves $27.00 trees from being failed to make conventional paper and made the rhinos providing the paper manufacturers with the raw material relations between the villagers and their animal neighbors have also improved. deforestation can be devastating to animals in indonesia over 300000 picked as a forest was lost and 29000 they rounded down population as a result has been declining heavily with many left in front and i mean to fend for themselves there's a jungle school trying to help these around the towns to see a life and find their way in the wild but the pandemic is not complicated this work let's see how this humans have to keep their distance from a regular things too even at lunch time. because both species are it risk of

every 3 weeks before they start work staff have their temperature taken another coronavirus precaution they shot the video for this report themselves we talked to the head of the project by video call or we're going to talk. about long time d.n.a. is 97 percent identical to the out of humans so they're extremely susceptible to all our diseases especially those affecting the risperidone tract. you know that's the main reason why we've imposed such a strict quarantine to make sure there's no transmission of a virus replicating in humans to a population in the wild. it would probably have no immunity or told to such a virus or now it's. the effects could be devastating. through has been reporting on this project for years 3 m.

is to repair rang a tank for survival in their natural jungle habitat in the. rainforest in central sumatra. many were rescued as orphans often held captive as pets under terrible conditions they had forgotten or had never learned how to move through the tree tops forage for food and build nests their keepers at the jungle school teach them all these skills usually out in the forest itself. around it things enjoy piggy back rides many of them don't like to walk much this was before the coronavirus pandemic. so no exercises in the forest for now even though they have so much to learn. probably the most important item on the curriculum at jungle school is learning about fruit trees what they look like and when they bear fruit. in which season or in which years. in order to survive every rung in town has to

develop a 4 dimensional map in their head covering space and time it takes time to learn all that but we've had to suspend the learning process where the trees and when do they bear fruit as the iraqi towns have to stay in their cages. the lock down can only be relaxed once the pandemic has been contained this is not good for the animals their fitness deteriorates and they become bored even the not the best preconditions for release and survival in the wild. those that have already been set free currently lead better lives keepers go on patrol to check on them and provide extra food if need be. here to social distancing applies over the past half century 80 percent of the region's rain forests have been cut down to make way for a vast plantations. on our last visit paid to pot stress the importance of

saving the forest and teaching the orangutans survival skills. and you know. if the orangutans are able to survive here and all the other animals in the rain forest animal community will be to the tigers elephants and old the other species that's why it's so important to protect them. the number of covert 1000 cases among humans in indonesia continues to rise. the project has a back up plan if the lockdown goes on for too long. it will release its orangutans into the wild before they've completed their schooling but will then provide them with longer term support out in the forests that way the arena tanks will be able to settle and have offspring and their numbers can grow until the threat of extinction here is banished. britain is a country of. at least that's what some groups. to
