Guatemala says it's determined to stop thousands of migrants from continuing their journey towards the United States in order to prevent a major humanitarian crisis. For the second day running, the security forces are taking action to disperse thousands of migrants. More than seventy protesters have been detained in Russia as they demanded the release of the opposition leader, Alexei Navalny, who was arrested on his return to Moscow on Sunday. Mr Navalny, who has been recovering in hospital in Germany from a nerve agent attack, has called for demonstrations. He has been remanded in custody for thirty days. And President-Elect Biden's team has dismissed an order from President Trump which would have eased a coronavirus-related ban on travellers from Europe and Brazil.
