More humane and more likely to succeed . Here in berlin, Alexi Navalny has been released from the hospital after treatment for poisoning. His case triggered a diplomatic crisis between russia and the west. What will mr. Navalny do next . And americans lining up at the Supreme Court to payay their respects to Ruth Bader Ginsburg. Among them, bill and hillary clinton. On friday, ginsburg will lie in state in the u. S. Capitol. I am brent. Our viewers on pbs and the United States and allaround the world, welcome. It was a display of cowardice or contempt. Its hard to tell the difference. But president Alexander Lukashenko of belarus has been sworn in to another term of office in a ceremony that was kept secret from his people. When they heard about it today, protestors once again took to the streets. Police used Water Cannons and tear gas against protestors. Lukashenko today assumed his sixth consecutive term with hundreds of officials present. The protestors and others saiai the alexeii last m month was rigged. Nick conley is covering the story for us. Good evening to you, nick. People have been coming out to protest again this evening. What is going on where you are . Good evening, brent i am in the heart of downtown minsk. It has been very noisy up to the last few minutes. People blocking the main rhodes, out with flags trying to express their feelings at what has gone on today and basically fighting running battles with the police. Police coming in with Water Cannons, pepper spray and tear gas. Evevery time the Police Carted off 10, 15, 20 people to jail, others turning out. A real volatile situation. Women also being taken in, something that has been featured the last few days. A lot of police in unmarked uniforms, agents wear track suits with bat tons, doing their best to intimidate the people and get them off the streets. Do you get the feeling the situation just in the last 24 hours has become worse . It is definitely a more volatile, more february ryal atmosphere than it was. We got almost into a routine of protests during the week. People are going to work and protesting a part of that in dare daily lives. He is violently asserting his position to stay in power and having the Inauguration Day out of the blue with no one present. It feels like people here are very angry and feel something about this and are willing to risk more conflict with the police to make themselves heard. What recourse does the opposition have right now . This week the European Union failed to agree to slap any sanctions on the government of lukashenko. It doesnt look like the opposition has a lot at their disposal. Is that the case . I think these protests are wider than the average desmond strikeses we have seen the last few weeks or weekends where people come out in a relaxed manner with kids and pets and walk down the streets. Now you have people in their neighborhoods meeting nightly, talking about politics, hanging out flags that the government tries to pull down and they come back. You have University Students organizing. You have doctors refuse to go treat policeman. Hackers have reported Police Officers giving an asymmetric balance of power between the police and brought testors. I dont get the sense from the people that they are willing to go home and stay quiet again. This is a country that has been forced to keep out of politics the last quarter of a century, but i think people like having their voice back and these kind of scare tactics are going to work now. These people are incredibly brave. Women and teenagers are walking up to police, screaming at them and staring them down. Dws nick conley with the latest tonight on a volatile situation on the streets of minsk in belarus. The European Commission is trying again to create a coherent and more had you main way of dealing with my grants a mauer muhammad an way to deal with asylum seekers. Hungary and poland, which refused to accept my grants, would instead offer more or equipment to help control the borders. They appealed to Member States to show solidarity with one another and to rise to the challenge of migration. A camp on the greek island of samos, fit for 500 people. It houses 5,000. It was meant to be a transit point. But a backlogged migration system has turned it sbe home for so many. Two years i have been here. Not good. Conditions are squalidid. This place and these peoplple a why europe is finally confronting this crisis. Presenting her proposal, the European Commission president called on Member States to rise to the challenge. This package reflects a fair and reasonable balance between responsibility and solidarity among Member States. We all share the benefits. We all share the burden. The migration pact includes compulsory preentry screening with fingerprints and a health check. A faster processing target, and a prompt return scheme that would see Member States take responsibility for returning my grants on behalf of other Member States. It abandons to relocate new arrivals around the 27 Member States, something opposed to by the likes of hungary and poland. That could create have havoc in the mediterraneanan. Member estates like italyly, greece and malalta will be rereluctant too cooperatee if t isnt any sort off m mandatory relocation. They may disembark ships that have been rescued, and theyy ma remain stranded. A willingness of Member States in the last five years has not been very high. These scenes on thisis depre isisland will be t the catalyst change. Moria is a stark reminder. We need to find Sustainable Solutions on migration, and we all have to step up. Moriah resident, now rehouse inside another shakeshift camp can only hope that action comes sooner rather than later. And for more, we are joined by our correspondent in brussels. She is standing in front of the European Commission building where a special display is taking place. Barbara, tell us more . There is a group of political activists. They call themselves led by donings. They were active during the brexit in london. They have come out here tonight to project images of my grants and the plea of my grants on to the Commission Building here in the back of us. They want to remind the European Union that they say we dont deserve to be treated like this. We are human beings. We deserve more than just to be managed. That is really at the core of this new proposal that is on the table. It is supposed to manage migration better, and it is supposed to repel more and faster from the borders of europe. This might be fortress europe 2. 0 if you wish, but the people we see here in the front and back of us, they say we need to be considered as human, and we need to be treated better. We have been hearing from n. G. O. s helping refugees. They have criticized these new propose always because they fear that refugees who are already in camps without any mandatory redistribution within the e. U. , that those refugees are just going to stay put. Do they have a point . They do have a point, because of course camps will still be part of this project and this new program. Because people who arrive, they will again have to be put in camps. Now the promise is that they will then be processed much quicker, that the whole asylum process will be done faster than it has been in the fast. But we have heard these promses for years and nothing has happened so far. It is not easy legally because after which rule of law are they supposed to be then judged on their asylum request . All that is quite unclear and quite complicated. So no easy solutions, and there will be camps, and there will of course now the e. U. Trying to have a Pilot Project in moriah in greece to help greece to manage things better. But whether that is dissolution or a big step forward, there is a lot of doubt about it. Barbara, we have talked about this migration policy many times before. What is your verdict on this plan . Will parts of it work, or do you think at the end of the day that it is all going to be a big failure . Parts of it might work because if they really work on repeling more people, make the borders even stronger, discourage more people, have more agreements with the countries of origins too take their citizens back, that might work to a certain extent. But on the other hand, they have completely let drop the idea of relocation, because it is just voluntary. No which european members apart from germany and maybe a few others, are willing to take people in . Everybody is going to turn their backs if it is not mandatory. So there is no real solution, and politically this will remain a mine field, and things will morales carry on as they are. There is no good future for my grants on the border of europe if these plans as we have heard them today are being really put in place. Barbara on the story for us in brussels. Thank you. As we heard, poland is one member of the European Union that is not likely to support these new migration propose alwayses. Along with hanigan area it has been firmly against accepting anymore manship grants. But some arrived a few years ago and have made new lives for themselves despite antimy grant sentiment. A new life in poland. Mohammed is syrian. After studying in the united arab emirates, he moved to comeback out for his masters degree. When he has been welcomed by some, he has faced animosity from others. They joked a little bit about if i am carrying a bomb or not. I told them i left it at home because i am coming to study here. I had the hand go away of my face with an angry look. I had not replying. Mohammed is worried about the antiimmigrant rhetoric of polands conservative government. This rhetoric targets one group in particular, refugees. While the country has welcomed an estimated two Million People from uecker since 2015, it has refused to relocate refugees from the camps in greece and italy. We are not going to receive them number one if he is not legal. If he is not going to go through the legal estates of refugee. To be a refugee by international law, you have to sleep first in a safe country. Syria is our neighbor. According to anna, an expert on muslim m migration, relocate to poland is legal. That is because e. U. Countries are obliged to take in a share of asylum seekers, even if they first arrived in greece. She says politicians are using the my grants at escape goats. It is very easy to get people scared about the things they dont know, easy to tell a lot of that stuff about them to gain votes, to gain political power. Poland is expected to oppose the upcoming e. U. Migration pact. The government says it doesnt want to be forced to take refugees from the camp, especially after accepting millions of iranians. We believe every country of the e. U. Should be involved in resolving the migration crisis, but not every country in the same way. We are now directing our effort to a little bit different geographical direction. But this is a european problem as well. The conflict in the uecker, the situation in the east is a problem that the yeench union will also face. Back in crack out. Mohammed has made a home for himself with good friends. That is why he would like poland to open its doors to more my grants. It is unfair for the syrians who would like to have a life, like myself. He hopes the e. U. Will find Common Ground on the migration pact. France has again reported more than 13,000 new covid19 infections in the last 24 hours. It is the third time this threshold has been breached in six days. The french government is now announcing sweeping new measures to curb the resurgence in the hardest hit areas of the country. Paris and 10 or cities are on a new high alert level. Marseille is under maximum alert. All bars and restaurants will close there beginning saturday. More parts of france are on a new list of high risk zones declared by germany. Other regions on the list include most of the czech republic, and the portuguese and uriah capitals of lisbon and dublin. Many parts of europe are seeing restrictions lifted only a couple of months ago being reimposde. Here in germany, the corner worn tracing app is seen as an essential tool to combat the virus, especially as winter looms. Social distancing, hygiene measures and masks. These are the prime tools deployed by germanys authorities to limit the spread of the coronavirus in the country. Since june, these measures have been complemented by a new tool. Germanys Contact Tracing app. 100 days after it was first launched, the coronavirus worn app was downloaded more than 18 million times. Not that many considering that the app could run on up to 50 million smart phones in germany. Still, it is by far the most downloaded coronavirus tracing app in europe. Despite some hiccups along the way. The app is all considered a success. But some issues remain. Germanys Health Minister said only about 5,000 users who tested positive for covid19 used the app to warn others. Only around half of the app users who get a positive result then inform their contacts. This means that when there is confirmation that the test result is positive, it would be very helpful to just press the button to inform your contacts about it. The apppp Developers Say work i under way to create a european gateway so that the german app can communicate with those from 10 other than european countries, including italy, spain and poland. With cases rising across much of europe and the difficult winter months nearing, a europewide approach for Contact Tracing might prove a yool tool to help prevent the spread of the virus. A grand jury in the state of kentucky has charged one Police Officer in the raid that led to the Fatal Shooting of breonna taylor. Police shot the black medical worker in front of her boyfriend after they forced their way into her apartment. Kentuckys attorney general said the girlfriends had acted in self defense after taylors boyfriend fired at them. The u. K.

The United NationsWorld Food Program is warning that yemen is at a Tipping Point as conflict and economic woes drag the country to the brink of famine. The w. F. P. Head has called for funding to astrert a humanitarian disaster. The russian opposition figure Alexi Navalny has been discharged from a hospital here in berlin. He had been undergoing treatment for poisoning since being airlifted here at the start of the month. Navalny has made it clear he wants to go home, but that still looks a way off. Not long ago Alexi Navalny was at deaths door, and this is how he looks today. Drawn, thin, visibly aged, but very much alive. It is now just over a month after he fell ill and two weeks since he awoke from an induced coma. The navalny is no longer in the sbemsive ward but he will stay in germany with his wife and children now to continue his rehabilitation. He wrote on instagram my doctors have decided that my recovery requires resuming normal life rather than treatment in hospital. Walking, spending time with my family, i have already stumbled to the park in the pants three sizes to large. 44yearold navalny got sick while campaigning in siberia last month. He was airlifted to we are lynn to berlin, and tests in germany, france and sweden confirmed he was poisoned with a nerve agent. Moscow denies responsibility and says he is welcome home when he is ready. We wish him a speedy recovery. As a russian citizen, he has the right to return to moscow at any titime. It is still highly uncertain if navalny would be safe there. Last week aleyes said traces had been found in a water bottle from his siberian hotel. But the kremlin still sasays he wasnt poisoned in russia. Germany wants a answers on who attacked navalny, threaeatening action if that is not forthcoming. I if russian not forthcomimi we should ask the European Union and nato partners to think about what measures should be. But first we have to present thosee questions to russia, and russia should have the chance to answer. But there is little sign the kremlin is crede to cooperate, leaving relation between berlin and moscow ailing, even as Alexi Navalny recovers. In the United States, large crowds have gathered to pay their final respects to the late Justice Ruth Bader ginsburg as she lies in repose at the u. S. Supreme court. Former u. S. President bill clinton and his wife hillary were among those bidding a final farewell to g ginsburg. It was president clinton who chose the liberal champion of womens rights as his first nominee for the u. S. s highest court back in 1993. Ginsburgs death looks likely to give conservatives an advantage on the court moving forward. President trump says he will nominate a replacement on saturday. For days people have been honoring a legend. At the Supreme Court and in brooklyn, new york, where Ruth Bader Ginsburg grew up in the 1930s and 1940s. The daughter of jewish immigrants from eastern europe, she lived in a modest house in an ethnically mixed enabled. Ginsburgs career was a lifelong battle against sexism. Despite being one of a hand full of women to attend Harvard Law School in the 1950 et cetera, she was rejected for prestigious training by a u. S. Supreme Court Justice because of her gender. She eventually worked for the American Civil Liberties union, and in the 1970s she went on to argue cases in front of the u. S. Supreme court to advance gender equality. President jimmy carter selected her in 1980 for an Appeals Court seat information 1993, president clinton nominated her to be the second ever female justice on the Supreme Court. There she made the name for herself as the leader of the courts liberal wing. And later in life gained unlikely fame as r. B. G. , a celebrity justice who inspired countless women and girls. I am worried about the notoriety i have recently attracted. [laughter] it is amazing that at my advanced age, 85, so many people want to take a picicture with me. With ginsburgs death, the Supreme Court has lost an iconic liberal, and her replacement could tilt the court in a conservative direction for decades. Sports news now.
