a young gone. and after a year of calm demick hardships women marked their international day with protest but celebrations to. begin with brazil and former president luis and lunatics silva is set for what's been described as a sensational political comeback his conviction on corruption charges has been an elder by a supreme court judge the decision restores his rights to contest next year's presidential election is one of the most popular figures on the left if he decides to run he will face off against far right populist jebel tomorrow i want to tell you like it has more now from rio de janeiro. just was taken not because they considered to be in the center or guilty but they said that he was he was tried in the wrong place in the wrong or he was try. it's part of the car wash scandal and they say that that the reason why they should be tried that had nothing to do with the car wash scandal so it should have been said of being a court in the southern city of what each event should be in brazilian the capital that would mean that he would be retried in this case but as of now he's cleared to run. for elections next year and yes he is the opposite extreme opposite of the president right wing president. so this polarizes the election once more because in 20 teen who i had not been able to run because of this conviction so now he's he's back on track on the political scenario once more and this is because you can see the divisions in brazil on social media there were many that celebrated the decision saying that this proves that it was innocent all along and it was a political persecution and there are those criticizing the decision saying that it shows that corruption must still at large and president also not stay in power to fight it because he he ran with this slogan in your campaign who is fighting for corruption. the u.s. is granting temporary protected status to venezuelan migrants living there the decision could help around 320000 people and some is up on election promises made by president joe biden as ministrations says it's working to coordinate international pressure against venezuelan president nicolas maduro to hold free and set elections. similarly as opposition leader i was calling for a large peaceful protests he addressed supporters after being charged with rape and released on bail some cause arrest triggered the worst on rest in years meeting at least 8 people dead he says the allegation is politically motivated to stop him from challenging the president multi-cell. this mobilization must be maintained it must even be much larger but it must above all be peaceful it must be peaceful today the people have regained the rights that macky sall confiscated 9 years ago at the demonstration the people have taken it back by force we must not lose this right hundreds of opposition supporters gathered outside the court saying they're not just protesting against suncoast attention. cynical these youth will not tolerate a dictatorship anymore we are determined we are engaged and we will go all the way to the end those men song. for peace to return to our country we must take strong measures courageous measures the authorities can take you to court and pursue you through the courts without provocation without provocation they try to humiliate you and imprison the free militants of our country well the crisis has put mounting pressure on president macky sall he's been forced to address the nation to call for calm dunno when you decide. we have to show our differences in a way other than destructive violence because whatever our political choices we are a single family and none of us can have a separate destiny from that of the senegalese nation but it's an. individual and collective work orders us to work together consolidating the fundamentals and not destroying them. nothing is more important than the preservation of keeping the soul of the senegalese nation. because our cause more from outside the opposition's headquarters in dhaka. well i think he wants to reassure the population and say that he understood i understand the need empathizes with those that have dropped into poverty last year due to the coronavirus primary due to the economic fallout of the current virus pandemic he also addressed the criticism made by the opposition specifically newsman sancho who argues that he is arrogant and he takes decision on decisions on his own he says that he works towards consensus addressing and also engaging in dialogue with the opposition without. by which he comes up with measures but what's interesting here is the star difference between the formal address of president mikey cells inside his palace and what has happened here at the months on close headquarters difference in language might be sol addressed the nation and french who spend some code addressed his supporters in wolof which is the local language the talk by most senegalese difference in tone and response on cofer started his press conference by naming those that were killed during the protests also engaging with the security forces saying that the security forces are the pride of the nation he also condemned the looting and he also insisted that the importance here is the restyle blish meant of the rule of law still criticizing like you saw saying that he is illegitimate that that to that he is an arrogant attacking president might be solved personally and yet saying that politicians need to move away from personal attacks. on dollars from amnesty international he says the recent protests are cries for help by young people in senegal. if you're in the turning point and regards to the recent political development and efficiently there relations between the executive it's a judiciary but also about that looming question that has been hovering i mean towards the debate which is the. will of the president under to be to represent himself as a candidate in the 2024 elections so what we have seen in the last days during the protest was not only support for all some song will spawn from who but also a cry for help by you folks and i go do to say yeah social economic impact of the restrictive measures that were enacted by the government on things on them including. one time there were few that's has that several really impacted the most of the narrow full corporations that eaves in the informal sector and beyond that there are 2 questions about the degradation of our political liberties and see the criminals to chose their press freedom and metal and it is a beautiful old freedom of expression and this is indeed a turning point many analysts were expecting it to. to happen much later during the last part of the cure on terror of the president but

back a lot of our top stories here on al-jazeera former brazilian president released and i see a little of the silver set for a political comeback a supreme court judge as an elder his conviction for corruption the decision restores his right to contest next year's presidential election. senegalese opposition leader is calling for large scale peaceful protests the address supporters after being charged with rape and released on bail some cause arrest triggered the worst on reston is leaving at least 8 people dead. and the u.n. human rights chief is urging myanmar's police to allow 200

vaccinated people indoors without wearing a mask or social distancing that's according to new guidance from health officials the u.s. centers for disease control and prevention is also advising fully vaccinated people they don't need to quarantine if coming into contact with someone who's positive it can also visit and vaccinated people who are at low risk from coronavirus gallagher joins us live now from miami and if so what more can you tell us then about these new c.d.c. guidelines. well they are long awaited guidelines but let's just take a snapshot of what's going on in this country at the moment somewhere between 9 to 10 percent of people have been vaccinated that falls far short of the 40 percent needed for herd immunity but about 2000000 vaccinations are going into arms every day now these guidelines specifically relate to those people who are as you said fully vaccinated that means they've had both injections and waited for them to take effect in essence what we're talking about here are grandparents those people that have perhaps not seen their sons or daughters or grandchildren for the past year they will now be able to travel locally and that's a key point to make here to go and see their families which will bring a great deal of welcome relief i think both mentally and physically to people that be locked up for the past year now what the c.d.c. are saying is if these people do go out into public they need to still continue to wear masks and continue to social distance because some of the science behind the vaccinations is not yet known it's not yet known if someone is vaccinated could potentially still carry and spread the virus so this is kind of a 3 steps forward one step back type scenario but i think for those people that have been in long term care facilities or away from their families for the past 12 months it will be a great deal of welcome relief some people are criticizing the move saying it doesn't go far enough saying that if you've been vaccinated you should be able to pretty much do what you want but obviously the c.d.c. in this case. it is being very slow and cautious because it's still not known how effective these vaccines are against the variants that we are seeing run rampant throughout this nation so i think all in all some pretty welcome news especially for those people that haven't been able to see their families for close to a year or 2 and they got to live in miami and they thank you. fit's international women's day demonstrations across latin america are being driven by a growing outcry of inequality and gender based violence in the argentine capital but desirous to miss out on the streets calling for an end to violence against women women's groups that say the government does not do enough to combat

markle and oprah winfrey meghan said concerns had been raised by a member of the family about the color of their child they described allegations of racism and bullying which they say forced them to step back from the monarchy the barker reports food under i just didn't want to be alive anymore the pressure cooker of palace life push make an markel to the brink of contemplating suicide in a candid interview with the queen of chat oprah winfrey meghan also accused the royals nickname the firm of spreading lies about her i don't know how they could expect that after all of this time we would still just be silent if there is an active role that the firm is playing in perpetuating falsehoods about us and when meghan was pregnant she said there were questions about her son's color macon's mother is black and her father white so we have in tandem the conversation he won't be given security it's not going to be given a title. and also concerns and conversations about how dark his skin might be when he's born if you're really like down also in the spotlight prince harry's relationship with his father prince charles and what i was seeing was history repeating itself but more perhaps or definitely far more dangerous because then you're out of race and you add social media and there were echoes of the $995.00 t.v. tell all with prince harry's mother princess diana when she revealed details about her prince charles's marital affairs and her mental health crisis diana died in a car crash in 1997 the sad thing is that royalty is diminished by. coming down into the gutter and having a public fight it benefits from keeping a distance from common argument and unfortunately neither side is going to come out of this particularly well and indeed i think we can assume fairly safely that there are faults on both sides ahead of the interview the palace launched a formal investigation into allegations make a mark or bullied her former aides something she strongly denies the family feud has led to a frenzy of claims and counterclaims in the tabloid media and social media are separated into 2 rival camps in the u.k. united states the megan vs timana case. the palace has been accused of double standards for investigating the bullying claims but not prince andrew's ties with convicted sex offender geoffrey epstein the royals meanwhile have been focusing their attention on commonwealth day celebrations with a message of unity from queen elizabeth the 94 year old monica was praised by harry and meghan as a warm and caring grandmother but the overarching picture painted by the 1st black member of the royal family is an institution awkwardly out of touch with modern attitudes and a hostile media bent on taking meghan down the park al-jazeera london. now here's what happened when a bus got stuck on a level crossing in sweden. where we are now. well remarkably nobody was seriously injured 3 people on board the train received slight bruises the bus was empty
