on sunday the russian opposition leader was arrested minutes after landing on a plane from germany he had spent the last 5 months recovering from navi chalk poisoning governments around the world have called for his immediate release. we are very worried about the well being and safety of our only russia tried to deflect the criticism or people will choose to so you can feel the joy of their carbon copy comment joy because navarro knew returning a partly helps the western politicians to think that they can now distract their citizens from the deepest crisis the liberal system has found themselves in locals all this. president's. authority scene of ali was being held in connection with historical fraud charges which is to see are trumped up it's not clear yet if or when he will be allowed home. 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 i 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 to discuss 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 international stage in fact bloodier 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 win with the view from moscow thanks so much. and as we mentioned of all news arrests has prompted massive international condemnation u.s. secretary of state mike pompei or cold if the latest in a series of russian attempts to silence him of only the e.u.'s foreign affairs chief joseph or out called on russian authorities to respect of all his rights and release him immediately and german foreign minister heiko mosques reiterated that call he said deval news arrest was completely 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 talks 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 will happen to same have money and i think he had how his point of view to go back to playing his role with a view to the elections in russia this all too bad 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 that way and that that will happen what everyone expected that he should it be detained the development of a riot 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 there are no real limits for this stage of russia if i'm not on the moon. and mrs police cars cars and the police cars cars. in other places it is obvious that the russian security forces are able to kill people and. be relatively a putin committed to it on his annual press conference and i think the actual situation. there is very very high risk for the russian government. that. in the else will i hope nothing really serious will happen to annex

a number of the 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 u.s. and those more need to be done. and the european union reacted promptly after the the p.c. w populates its record that i'd say not only was poisoned by not talk and the implement a implemented and it was correctly to do says. person a targeted sanctions. we should go that way is something will happen to have the same that we should take them into responsibility who are

responsible. here going to team 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 a check of some other stories from around the world more than 20 c. food trucks have parked on roads near the u.k. parliament to protest problems in getting their produce to the european union but many fisherman have been unable to export to the e.u. because of extra documentation required after bragg's and the government has said the host brags that teething problems should be resolved shortly. rescuers in china say the 12 miners trapped in a gold mine are still alive but another 10 are unaccounted for the miners have been stuck underground for more than a week after an explosion on monday footage from state t.v. showed a note being passed through a rescue shaft with the request don't stop trying to reach us. and

us police have arrested in the elected official in charge as relating to the january 6th attack on the u.s. capitol where griffin a new mexico county commissioner and founder of a group called cowboys for trump was also planning to travel to washington armed with a rifle and a revolver to protest joe biden's inauguration. of president trump is preparing to issue more than 100 pardons and communications on tuesday trump's last full day in office a list of clemencies include some white collar criminals and high profile contacts but reportedly will not include trump himself and meanwhile all. 50 us states are on high alert ahead of wednesday's inauguration of president elect joe biden which trump will not attend the some 25000 national guard troops have been deployed in washington d.c.

fears of unrest from right wing protesters over the weekend proved unfounded but after january 6th law enforcement agents won't be letting their guard down. macam 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 it by setting up if you will deterring future events because of the presence of law enforcement and military that's sending a message to people and i'm reading as recently as today that many of these organizations decided that they want to stand down. the investigation into the

siege of the capital is posing on comfortable questions why was it so easy for the rioters to be to both the west and the east side of the building. new video evidence of the storming in marriages 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. the senators of congress coming through the capitol that i saw and generate their. own recognizance the next day as members of congress there say 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 capitol. this man was detained in nashville tennessee on sunday. experts believe there are 90 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 david 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 can be restored in the guardrails that were placed for a constitution can be put back in place. for the capitol 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. all the coronavirus and demick has brought the health system and italy's

southern region of kolaveri a to its knees but here part of the problem is it's empty hospitals rather than it's full once several hospitals are not being used to due to mismanagement of funds and the influence of the mafia he reporter max sander met a group of campaigners who are fighting to reopen kolaveri has closed down clinics . these are not your usual squatters the members of mafia mental i pad now are fighting for a basic need access to medical health care. the group formed by retired medical doctor 94 moto takes turns and occupying a wing of this closed down hospital in ca to southern italy. it was absolutely unthinkable 10 years ago and after so many years that this hospital has been in operation after so many years of work and all these people who have worked here in this time that there would be a need to occupy. for tomorrow invites us to see 1st selves work is still

ongoing at the total consent teano but was so few staff the hospital is no longer classified as such but this radiology unit used to do more than 20000 screenings per year now it's less than $300.00. the victoria cross and tina was designed to serve a community of more than $80000.00 people but after decades of mismanagement and mafia meddling in the health care system it now finds itself unable to meet even basic requirements for treating patients and this in the middle of a global pandemic. like the hospital and there are 17 others in the region that are out of service depend demick has a right to late systemic mismanagement the infrastructure such as the oxygen ports at this hospital could be used to treat cope with 1000 patients but without doctors and sufficient funds they are useless. dr for model takes us into a separate wing built in the ninety's this part of the hospital was never properly put to use a well equipped hospital room for disabled patients now serves as

a storage space leaving the 66 year old with a feeling of great bitterness. i have been a doctor in this facility for 40 years and to think that i can sister people that i can't give answers is absolutely frustrating. the health care situation in the entire region of calabria is so dramatic that it was placed under the supervision of the national government 10 years ago causing even further cuts to the health budget battle. in the past hospitals were closed in order to pay off debts what we're working on now is to recover doctors nurses health personnel and above all facilities in emergencies me 80. mafia infiltration of the health care system is another issue a look at the hospital roof shows an elaborate solar panel an air conditioning

system acquire through new critics government contracts for a model says the mafia is behind it. i thought i'd be able to lead an air conditioning system would be useful if it were accompanied by the fact that there are patients inpatients if there are no patients and the question arises why is this being done and why isn't the ultrasound machine for the cardiology war. the people of the like many across the region suffer patients are currently need to travel more than an hour to get to a functioning emergency room which places a large burden especially on the elderly. the members of move you mental one 3rd of them want to continue their fight to the end until their hospital is reopened under the watchful eye of come undone to she give a dog. and so they tell us in order to have your rights record nice you have to start a revolution. and here is

a look at further developments in the coronavirus pandemic the u.k. is ready to launch the next phase of its vaccination program offering shots to the over 7 days and those seen as clinically extremely vulnerable where than 3800000 people have already been vaccinated in the u.k. china has put nearly 3000000 people under lockdown in the country's northeast the measures follow a surge in cases linked to a travelling salesman who's been identified by local authorities as a super spreader and japan's prime minister has vowed to press ahead with this year's tokyo olympics despite growing public opposition and a rise in corona virus infections. says that he hopes the games could bring hope to the world. well no major economy was able to grow last year because of the coronavirus pandemic except for china now its economy beat expectations in 2020 growing by 2.3 percent supposed to by a strong 4th quarter this makes it only the only major economy to avoid shrinking

last year as countries struggle with the impact of covert 90 beijing's tough measures to contain the virus are thought to be one reason behind the growth and let's get more on that we are 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 floundering 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 and that 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 pandemic has really shown how interdependent the global economy is and no can be can really if. were it not to do business with china last month that they e.q. a great a huge investment pocked 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 that 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 tyan 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. in sports news preparations for next month's australian open tennis tournament have to send into chaos with 72 players having to quarantine in their hotel rooms for 2 weeks as after other people on their flights into australia tested positive for cope with 19 media reports say that a player is also now infected authorities in melbourne say there can be no relaxation of the strict rules but some players say they were not sufficiently warned of possible isolation. this is not usual preparation for
