hanna, what you think about the doctrine? this is the proclamation that the occupied territories leadership says it is forever part of russia. i will ask you to address that, but i would also appreciate your sense of significance in terms of the war of the closing of the russian forum. hanna: even the ukrainian media covered it briefly. the doctrine as well was mostly laughable. and he linguist will explain exactly when and where this territory was part of ukraine -- any linguist will explain exactly when and where this territory was part of ukraine. that is local manipulation that creates images to support the interests in russian society and we should not forget about that didn't is very important -- putin is very important to the russian federation. both to explain why he is in the area but also to detract from our issue. that is why we did not care about -- [indiscernible] legally, for ukrainian legal entities, is not as great for the foreigners.

here is a very small portrait, of hanna van buren. that we have from the martin van buren historic site. and as i mentioned, first ladies where the wives of presidents, and other times they were relatives. and in this case hanna van buren, priti ceased her husband martin van buren. so she had been dead many years by the time he became president, so he relied on his daughter-in-law angelica van buren, to fill that role and it really initiated a large number of 19 century you know ladies who are young and beautiful and made them the relatives and the daughters and daughters-in-law and nieces good. like the niece of james buchanan, who served as a first lady. as that necessary female hostess. and you can see, just how compelling angelica van buren had been as a hostess. but hannah van buren, as she was very dear to her husband, and he mourn her passing for many years, and we believe that he probably kept this miniature, which is quite small, it's just a couple of inches, and he kept it in his pocket or on his person, as a way to remember

mike hanna joins us live now from washington for more on this there's been this declaration of a majoremergency for the state of texas what does that mean for people that. well essentially what it means is freeing up a vast amount of federal funds for individuals businesses within texas itself president biden has signed off on this directing the federal emergency management agency to basically move into texas what will happen is that individuals businesses will then have to make a request for funding to either rebuild homes to redevelop businesses that have been affected by this weather outbreak and so it is releasing a huge amount of money within the state but there's a problem here this is essentially a short term fix texas as you heard there has not weatherized its systems for a long period of time and compounding this issue is that texas declares itself to be energy independent it does not want any federal involvement it is the only state in the country that does not rely anyway on a federal policy for example the grid is purely controlled by the state but you've got a situation wh

airstrikes hit iranian backed militias in the east of syria as mike hanna reports from washington the u.s. is still defending that attack. the decision to strike was taken at the very top after days of consultation with his national security teams president biden ordered the attack which took place on early thursday evening d.c. time this apparently in retaliation for a series of recent attacks by militia groups in lebanon and iraq one of which killed a u.s. contractor it's believed the attack was carried out by 2 f. 15 s using joint direct attack munitions a j.-dam is described as a precision weapon with g.p.s. navigation capabilities the target says the pentagon was a base being used by an iranian backed militia on the syrian side of the border with iraq and this response was conducted together with diplomatic measures including consultation with coalition partners this claim of acting in a restraint a way echoed by the secretary of state we took this action that i think was focused proportionate. but also effective in degrading some of the capacity that the militia in question had

them on but i expect we'll have more to say when we get post the release of that report well mike hanna joins us live now from washington d.c. marks or president biden had said he would speak to the saudi king rather than the crown prince how much was this a clear indication that things are going to be very different when it comes to u.s. saudi relations. or the biden administration has made very clear that this relationship is going to be very different than it was and trump the white house has already announced that there will be a recalibration of the relationship as it puts it beginning with that is that president biden will speak to the king he will not speak to the crown prince mohammed bin someone now this was a situation in the trump administration where both president trump and his close adviser jared dealt almost exclusively through the crown prince the biden and ministration making very clear that it is a peer to peer call that means a president speak to kings and therefore president biden will speak to king solomon but this just indicates the change that has happened since t

counterpart is king someone an expected inappropriate time he would have a conversation with him mike hanna is live for us from washington d.c. mike that's really quite the statement there from the white house can you talk us through the implications of that. indeed it is you heard the phrase counterpart to come to power meaning that it's going to go back the way it was before the trumpet ministration and that is president speak to president biden when he deems the time is right will speak directly to the saudi king not to use the crown prince as the fund to it which the trumpet ministration did particularly through president son in law jared cushion or this will now and perhaps in the future other levels of cabinet may speak directly to the crown prince but this is signaling a major recalibration as the white house puts it in terms of the saudi relationship another very interesting thing to note is that in recent weeks or since it's come to power the trunk that ministration the biden administration that is has referred to saudi arabia as a strategic partner it does not use the word lie whi

hanna: that is the question of who is responsible? it can always be done more, but at the same time that is the question of the legal issues as well. it is the obligation of the occupied power for the state executing effective control of the territory to fulfill obligations of human rights, social protections of people, and all others. we already have quite a number of legal decisions by the international body, that confirms it has the impact to control all of those territories. if we think about those, those people who are with the ukrainian citizenship, they have rights. the question is -- announcer: flags around the u.s. are at half-staff to mark the passing of congressman ron wright of texas. he was diagnosed with covid-19 in january. this is the first member of congress to die after getting the coronavirus. we are going to leave our program, take you live to the house. they will be meeting for a short pro forma session.

sustained temperatures above freezing beginning saturday john hendren al-jazeera chicago one from mike hanna is in washington. well it means that there's a significant amount of federal resources that will be apportioned to that particular disaster and the president had signed a disaster declaration earlier in the week however this is declared a major disaster situation that means there's no financial cap on the amount of federal funding and resources that will be apportioned to the people in texas what it means essentially is that the federal government will provide things ranging from loans to rebuild businesses to help individual homeowners restore their property so it's a wide ranging situation but it has to be looked at in the wider context as well because president biden made as part of his campaign the slogan back he's been talking about a 2 trillion dollar national infrastructure plan now this is something that he wants to put into effect this is something that he's already been talking to members of congress about. his vice president of industrial both in supplier company in arlingt

previous knowledge chetan go to concerns he no longer feel safe in germany he's scared to walk through hanna ike night and worries when his son comes home late. because right wing extremist attacks experts say are on the rise in germany criminal ziyad boy he very clearly needs strong prevention against right wing extremism 6 times that means dealing with the issue early mr preventively fall boyband and their misson you have to be ahead of the situation so to speak and not just in all this think of something you can do in law enforcement and security work after something has happened and not deem it was the right thing extremist attitudes are there beforehand and they'd then motivate people to join to ruin a zation. cause the can just call in people to show solidarity i remain vigilant and help me in mine and tucker destroyed my life it took everything from me. on this victim. i never harmed anyone this is why this past year we have been fighting together for justice and for a proper investigation. after this was filmed the hano police told us that they do plan to increase police presence thr

mike hanna has more from washington d.c. well obviously d.c. watching very closely the developments in the course of the day with the international atomic energy agency inspectors there but certainly is on the surface of the stalemate and the way the biden administration continuing to insist that iran must return to the terms of the deal before it resumes negotiations in terms of lifting sanctions as you heard iran says it will not it will want sanctions lifted before it's any form of a go situation so on the surface of it it's. ratable but the reality is that president biden has indicated that the routine wants to follow it through europe he wants negotiations to resume under the aegis of the european union together with the other partners in that 20 per diem deal this he stated very clearly in terms of seeing the european union as the overarching umbrella of a resumption of negotiations so at this stage it would appear the biden administration wants to go the multilateral route to restore the relationship rather than do it on a unilateral bas

cooperatively with all stakeholders and all of congress to strike the right balance going forward well mike hanna joins us live now from washington d.c. and mike just behind us how significant is it to have a native american woman but then she leaving that the partner into all of the interior should she be confirmed. well it's very significant indeed not only in that she would be the 1st native american to hold the post of cabinet secretaries so this would be very very symbolically important but the position as well is massive that not only controls all the nation's natural land but it also controls all the tribal land belonging to native americans so it's a very very significant position and something that she she says is very well qualified to do she does have a intense background in terms of land management in terms of various energy affairs now there has been opposition to her appointment from some republicans in particular in particularly those with ties to the oil industry those with known ties to the oil industry they point to her background as something of an activist back in 2015 she was

[applause] you are providing an important safety ne

mike hanna al-jazeera washington president biden has used a primetime televised town hall to seek support for his $1.00 trillion dollar coronavirus relief package he's traveled to wisconsin on his 1st official trip as u.s. president it's one of the states that was key to his presidential victory and it's been hard hit by the pandemic john hendren has more now from milwaukee. the president has been in a town hall format so that means he doesn't drive the questions those come from the audience and that means he's been answer a wide array of questions about criminal justice civil rights and other issues with his main focus in coming here was to pitch what his administration has been doing to combat the covert 19 epidemic and among the things he's been saying is that he wants a majority of teachers in school teaching at least one day a week within the end of his 1st 100 days in office that's by the end of april and he also says that he plans to have 600000000 doses of that vaccine available by the end of july that's enough for 90 percent of americans to get both doses they need of the pfizer

with them on but i expect we'll have more to say when we get post the release of that report mike hanna has been following developments from washington d.c. . the report was given to members of congress in a redacted form a couple of years ago there was great shock among those members of congress and it is widely believed that the report did hold the crown prince directly involved in the murder of the washington based journalists now that's similar to the conclusions talent out by a u.n. report that was concluded as well that the crown prince was involved in the murder of jamal khashoggi so this is certainly a very sensitive issue when it comes to the relationship between saudi arabia and the united states and certainly this report being made public will have a major impact on those relations biden administration has made very clear that it is going to what it calls recalibrate the u.s. saudi relationship basically returning it to what it was like before the 4 years of the trump administration under president tran u.s. relations with saudi arabia were based very much on a transactional
