and remember the copy revised wells and increases systems costs on red chris, the, the chief prosecutor of the international criminal court is seeking a rest waters for israel's prime minister benjamin netanyahu. and his defense minister on charges of war crimes and crimes against humanity engaged. the don't know about this and this is all just the live from. don't have also coming up . let me be clear, concert allegations against israel made by the and as a court of justice. what's happening is not genocide. reject us presidential

bible box israel and calls to move by the i c. c. prosecutor outrageous. the go into the bloodshed and gaza is really forces attacking, besieged palestinians shop to now farmers and shelters. also had to run an honest as presidential elections for june 28th after president abraham of ice is killed and i had to call to crush the nearly $300.00 days of israel's water and gas. 35386 palestinians killed. now the chief prosecutor of the world's top criminal court, the international criminal court is seeking arrest wardens for israel's prime minister benjamin netanyahu. and his defense minister of gallant, been accused of war crimes and crimes against humanity in gaza. doesn't yahoo says

it's a complete distortion of reality. us president joe biden is calling it outrageous. yeah, i see prosecutor also wants arrest wadhams for 3 senior homeless leaders for they have trouble his 7th attack in southern israel. move that's been denounced by how much a sum up inch of it begins are covered. of the starving children is a crime. the killing civilians is a little crying, and wilfully causing suffering is also a criminal act. those are the top 3 reasons. the prosecutor of the international criminal court has cited for requesting at restaurants for these really prime minister benjamin netanyahu and defense minister golf kalonde. reasonable grounds to believe on the basis of evidence collected and examined by my office that he's really prime minister benjamin netanyahu to administer of defense. you'll have got

back criminal responsibility for the following. international crimes committed on the territory of the state of palestine. several is really ministers have denounced the allegations of full crimes and crimes against humanity before the minister is ready costs. it says it's a historic disgrace and that especially the board room has been set up to counteract the decision. but not everyone agrees is right, really gain full text. it says was this war of the whole very because of december. and the whole board is against us any to unite the game. these very easy to very nation at least take even more nation. this is way and everyone receives, so just and such a 16 by the evil decision, i think it's adjusted decision. the icpc prosecute is also seeking the rest of ordinance for from us political and been if you need to explain honey. yes and bar involvement they've that are reasonable grounds to believe that these 3, how much lead has a criminal you're responsible for the killing of these really civilians in

a textbook to try to buy a mess and i'm groups on the 7th of october 2023 the palestinian group says the arrest warrants for nothing. yahoo and kalonde a several months too late. and rather than equating the victim with the perpetrator, i sufficient or do the rest of all occupation officials gave orders and the soldiers who counted out the crimes. if we want to be honest, we should be looking at what it is that the government is really government has been doing the orders that it has it issued to its soldiers and its issued orders to its soldiers to carry out a genocide. if this court is to have any credibility, it should be going after the people were committing genocide, rather than just simply trying to play this game of both sides. for months, the i c. c. prosecute to face criticism of the conduct in god's unfolded cream hunts. critics, even of the un security council, criticize what they saw as, as an action to hold is really comfortable. ceasefire

a ceasefire. israel's allies, including the united states, mostly expressed anger. i had to run dave, i cc announcement target israel and we will talk to you said a warning letter for me. it doesn't us for public incentives to threaten to cut funding in function i. c. c, stop and their families. this is go that today. and then me, a talk of arrest warrants is unlikely to have an immediate impact on the war which has killed more than $35000.00 palestinians and displaced millions more since october. some of the job was there. okay, let me walk you through the next steps in the i. c z process. and application is made to the quotes pre trial chamber to decide whether sufficient grounds and jurisdiction exists. now, if the arrest ones are issued, suspects can voluntarily surrender to the i. c. c, r countries that have signed up to its wrong statute, have an obligation to arrest them. if apprehended the hearing is going to be held

to decide if there's enough evidence to go to trial. and if the case proceeds, 3 trial judges are going to preside, and the prosecution must prove guilt beyond a reasonable doubt. judges can then issue sentences of up to 30 years in prison, and even life sentences in exceptional cases. start boston's at the hague and she explains what the prosecutors bid means for international law. i'm the court as after months of pressure from all sides on the international criminal court, the prosecutor here has made a major announcement with the rest of organs that he is requesting. now, the icbc is embarking on an unprecedented join. and in one of the most high profile cases, it's ever had since it's the establishment in 2002, despite all the pressure coming from the united states, for example. and also criticism for from countries like germany who are wondering if the court has the jurisdiction the prosecute with a has decided to go ahead with this case. what will now happen is that the pre

trial chamber judges would have to decide if the request for the arrest warrant of valid. so that will definitely also add the jurisdiction of the court. and we know that since 2021, this court has decided that it's can a rule over cases that happened crime. so it has been committed in the palestinian territories, although it's, well, it's not a signatory of the wrong statute. so these judges will have to decide, probably within a few weeks, what then happens if they really decide to issue these arrest warrants? then the $124.00 members of who have signatories assigned to the room, such as will have to arrest these people when they come into their countries and have to transfer them to the hague, where they will be detained and will be put on trial. i have to know though that the countries like the united states, china, israel, for example, on not the signatory. so in these countries they don't have that same obligation.

but still, this is a very significant 1st step and it's very prominence. case stuff. awesome al jazeera, the hey, well, israel is not a member of the eyes easy, and israel's, they just don't face in minute arrest. but they say the prosecutor's decision is disgraceful. i'm anti semitic. well, how much i'm jim has more benjamin netanyahu, who's coalition has bandages data from reporting from inside israel. so i'm a homeless talking to us from lot the outrage across the is really political spectrum of the announcement that international criminal court, cheap prosecutor cutting pond and seeking arrest warrants for israeli prime minister benjamin it's in yahoo is really defense ministry walk a lot as well. as 3 i'm us leaders is really prime minister netanyahu declaring that he rejects with disgust the comparison between israel and how much here's more of what and it's, and you also have to say, well, absolutely, but i should condition that the, this absurd and deceitful warrant of the persecution in the hague is aimed and also

on the against israel's prime minister and defense minister, both against the entire states. if is right off, it is against the idea of soldiers who are fighting with the utmost bravery against the vile murder was of a month who attacked us with ring dispute. tell us the on october 7th, the prosecutor in the haines with was odessa to do. you did compared between the how much monsters and the soldiers of the id, if the world's most immoral army at a time of such deep political polarization is real at a time when there's so many divisions across the political landscape. what we heard throughout the day after the announcement from the i c. c was very much a common refrain, very much echoing, but we also heard from that's in yahoo for example. you had war cabinet member of any gap. scammer is really defense minister, and he tweeted that to equate israel and how much was moral blindness. we also saw a tweet from the opposition leader in israel. yeah. your la pete in that tweet. but

pete said the icpc arrest warrants are a complete moral failure. we cannot accept the outrages comparison between us and yahoo, instant war between the leaders of israel and the leaders of how much we also saw a tweet from is really president issac hertzog, who in a late fee statement said among other things, the announcement of the prosecutor at the icpc is beyond outrages and shows the extent to which the international judicial system is in danger of collapsing. we will not forget our hostages, whose they for turn should be the main concern of the international community. we expect all leaders in the free world to condemn outright this step and firmly rejected. beyond that, we also saw a lot of quotes from a named is really political officials throughout these really media landscape throughout the day. calling the announcement from the i c. c, hypocritical, saying that it was embarrassing on an international level that it was disgraceful that it was insolent. what we know is that there are top legal scholars in israel,

as well as members of the national security council and the foreign ministry that are all meeting they have set up a war room to try to figure out how to deal with all this going forward. how much i'm doing with 0? i'm not what, as we mentioned, president joe biden is calling me, i cc move against benjamin netanyahu. outrageous, he said the us will always stand with israel when it comes to stripes against that security. so could you stay down to the bank? and the said the us fundamentally rejects the icbc, prosecutors attempt to get a warrant against is really leaders. and that any equivalence of israel with homicide is shameful. hydro castro is joining us now from washington dc, some fairly unequivocal statements being made there. what else has been the reaction in the us? yeah, these have been strongly stated. words of support for israel coming at a time when in the last few weeks that there had been a lot of tension brewing between israel and the us,

particularly as bite and continues to warn and be ignored against israel's invasion of rafa. but now at this i, c, c application for a warrant has been issued. the president seems to be moving closer again to israel . you spoke on this hours ago as who was addressing jewish america's at the white house. or let me be clear, reject the i see she's application arrest warrant. you get rid of these wars by apply. there's no privilege between israel and i'm off it's clear isn't was all, do all can to ensure civilian protection. but let me be clear, concert allegations against israel made by the end as the court of justice. what's happening is not genocide. reject the raleigh stand with this room is and threats against is secure. and this follows on

a letter that was delivered by about a dozen republican senators last month that kind of for saw the movement here as the i, c. c was at that time considering applying for arrest warrants for netanyahu. and in that letter, the senators said, quote, target is real and we will target you. that's what they said to the i c c staff. and saying that the us could issue sanctions against employees and bar them and their families from entering the u. s. if they go ahead and approve this application for a warrant, as far as that goes, it's these words of disapproval that us officials are issuing as well as pressure on its allies in europe, who are parties to the i c. c. eventually, if these warrants were to be approved and issued, the us would likely try to pressure those allies not to arrest nothing. yeah. who if they had, if they had the opportunity? rob? heidi, thanks very much. indeed. that's heidi joe castro in washington dc. as well means

holland, the grinding guys, a dozens of people have been killed in jamalia and the north as well as the wi fi in the service to mainstream. the income reports the roof of this building and jamalia collapse to of, to, in his rarely asked right? rescue workers rushed in, trying to resuscitate the people trapped inside. the minimum that i was up in the house was destroyed on top of the heads of the people living there. our team is trying to recover the bodies with tools, simple tools, which are the only ones they have to try and get them out from under the rubble of the house. fighting and jamalia has intensified in the past 10 days. people are helping out whichever way they can with the clean up and with the injured and they get, i get the we came out running and found dismembered heads on the street. i found a small child was injured and i ran with him to come on that one hospital. i didn't wait for the ambulance is on the way up. in the south. ruffle remains the last city

in gaza where israel hasn't yet launched a full scale offensive. more than a 1000000 people remain that with no where to go. so the book is rarely strikes on monday, hit several residential areas for and how do you have most of the time, you know how to cook safe places. a lice, the number of strikes on the safe places is the same as the places that under military operations, the young israel plans to expand its operation. in rafa, despite international warnings, including from the us, that it would be disastrous for the thousands of civilians there to meet you meant that in co, out to 0. the still ahead and i'll just say that we're going to find out what's nice for sassik this farmer. later jacob zoom us, who's being bought from money for part of the

palestinians who were expelled from there. and then in the neck of 1948, still don't have the rights of return today is that the land was extorted and settlements were built. 20 houses 0 worlds, goes back with young, good old palestinians to re discover their ancestral homes. why doesn't my grand parents stay here? why aren't i here? return to palestine on al jazeera climates probably only is from one of the most of the bio diverse nations on there . if you're interested in the nature does not function, we don't exist exploding solutions to save life as we know it we work with and within the cycles of the we're not using our past resources, we using them again. and again. if we newer from nature, we have a chance to move forward. i'll just see you as you've seen joining us. nothing grows forever. hearing the sharp populations a decline, 70 percent,

understanding the reality. i just placed it floated out as it was, teens across the world. when you close to the house of the story, news the you're watching or does it a reminder about top stories this uh top prosecutor for the international criminal court is taking a rest warnings for his reading. 5 minutes and benjamin netanyahu on defense minister. your government is accusing them of war crimes and crimes against humanity in gaza. both is real and it sounds like the us of the names to move and the restaurants are also being sold for how much leader is mail from the you all

have send more on demand. i'm a days and accused of war crimes and crimes against humanity. in the october, the 7th attack on israel in gaza is really attacks of killed at least a $106.00 congress tanita since sunday. and the north is very forces are targeted to residential square and de la, here many of the victims were women and children. now in the aftermath of the icy c chief, prosecutors move to pursue a ras. one is for is very and how much leaders most i'm boss it or is that the you and remain type left evading questions on the contentious issue. but some diplomatic voice has emphasized the importance of respecting the judicial is independence, underscoring a cautious approach to legal processes unfold. i'll just say it is gabriel alexander reports from the un headquarters in new york. i see your un headquarters most ambassadors did not want

a comment about the i c c decision. as one said, it's like a hot potato that nobody really wants to touch right now. we spent all day trying to talk to him, masters, even asking them questions as he went in and out of security council meetings. but in almost all instances, our questions were ignored. now, most countries clearly want to let the judicial process play out. and that was the sentiment echoed by motors, ambassador to the un, which is a member of the security council. please stop. what did you did? should institutions of united nations. and we think we believe very much in their impartiality and their independence and they should be allowed to carry out the way independently without any threats and through the process. go for those who need to the fitness as everything else has been called crisis. so 1st is also about who is invited. 3 d is about the independent from the course. there is

a sense here of us double standards and people point to march of last year when the i c. c issued an arrest warrant for russian president vladimir, put in for alleged war crimes in ukraine at the time the us and other western countries mostly applauded that decision by the i c. c. but now when the i c. c closes in on arrest warrants for is really officials the us cause it outrages gabriel's under. how does it do united nations in new york? how does the students have walked out of your university's graduation ceremony known as commencement to the us office staging an anti war protests well had followed. some graduates holding signs demanding a permanent ceasefire and gaza and an end to us military assistance for israel. they also demanded yells de vestment from on supplies and an honesty for students and stuff being disciplined or fired for testing. so

the okay, we're going to turn to some other world news now. iran isn't as presidential elections for june. 28, soft to the death of president ever comes right. you see and i had a call to crash. the wreckage was find early on monday. michael apple is back of the how events unfolded before and often the crash. these were rainy and president e brian, right, you see is fine, allow is attending the integration of 2 dams on sunday, near the board with us advisors on, along with that countries. presidents yolanda leah shaw seattle. this damn can provide very safe transit for goods for passengers and taurus, given how seriously the work is being carried out, i think it will take less time than originally estimated, which was almost 3 years. then reports began to emerge that the president's

helicopter had to make what was referred to as a hard landing that they'd been an incident. finally, it was confirmed via craft had crashed in bad weather on board president wry. you see foreign minister who's saying a meat of the lucky on a provincial governor and the security details about the helicopter went down in a forest in a remote mountainous region, near the village of ozi in the east as a by john province. a 3rd of a runs on the forces emboldened 70 search and rescue team spring into action with turkish high tech night division. drones providing support from the sky, but darkness, sick fog, and the rugged terrain hampered search operations. across the country on the test run to the president's hometown mashhad, ukrainians came off to play. nearly 20, always off to the helicopter, disappeared from right on the wreckage was discovered. the state television

delivered this message to the nation. prices of water for tallow shaft, so hardworking and relentless president of the range and people who did nothing but serve the people on their way towards progress, kept his promise and sacrifice his life for the nation. there's been no official word yet on the cause of the crash. one aviation analyst says changing weather conditions can post challenges even full experience pilots. you don't, the issue is when you're taking off and the weather was clear and then you would mount, when this rugged uh forest liked rain. uh, there could be farmed developing areas that you don't expect far to develop. but the age of the helicopter may also have quite a role. the us manufactured bell helicopter had been in service since 1971 wasted and sanctions have made it difficult for a run to obtain spirit pots or new aircraft. mike level, which is era. you always wanna share this as an independent aviation on

a standard consultant, as he says, it runs aging air fleets, the weather conditions and all the fighters all lead to the faithful crash. as is often the case, the net cost accidents, it is a variety of different contributors that come together ultimately to pulling that final outcome rather than just $1.00 single thing. so it is likely that when you combine something like deteriorating, all direct costing needs of maintenance with something like poll web, which can of course complicate even the much origin area flight. nevermind that in a region that is mountainous for example. then you quickly begin to see how it get and that risk level is increasing. helicopter and trouble by helicopter is a generally less se. then traveling on a fixed wing, the commercial aircraft, or private across. so ready, you go to a slight increase with that. and as i say, with the backdrop of having the o just please of at cross under the us functions, they only were able to import new across into iran during that brief period in the

fall and rec ministration. whether you're on euclid, you was asked to add, boss managed to get some new jets in a, some of the stakeholders. and then of course, donald trump is present at the time, pull the plug and new ron's that and across the street it continues to the chair right now. so as i say, it's likely to be a contributor, every one of these things, the and also the investigation will probably be focused on south africa's top court has bod, former president, jacob zoom from running for parliament. the constitutional court made the announcement on monday, 82 year old, so my left office and 2018 face and corruption allegations. and he was basically. busy held for contempt of court, and his surprise move, he found a new political party called n k in december to run against his former policy, the governing african national congress. and the elections in may. the 29th of to my law has more from jealous book. it is also spoken to supporters of outside the quote earlier in the day and the,

some of the responses we're getting from members of that m. k party is that it means very little to them because he remains part of the party. he's the leader, his face will remain on the valid paypal when elections come round in just a few days time. and so he's ideologies, he's present sort of back remains and also a lot of the support is believed that he has been victimized. and so for some of them, this comes as little surprise. it's part of the course with somebody like zoo my, despite it based being based on, you know, a little and the constitution and to explain to you that resume has been bought from running because of the conviction he received for contempt of quote, the conviction in sentencing and people who read a sentence to 5 years or more in prison and aren't able to pay a fine comp and run for public office. and so it's based on that. it's members of

these party say is that it means very listen to them. but also this is a part to that's going through its own difficulties. i have to point out those who might have joined the party in december last year, some would say as a founding member, but the founder of that party, jo blondie camacho has since been kicked out by zoom a full, they say compromising the party and double on equal tomato then, because please do more on precautionary suspension. so that's just giving you an idea around some of the difficulties within the party. maybe some of the supporters might not know where it stands, but too much still forms a very important symbolic speaker. but those will have gone on to support the m p part. the may be some of them leaving the african national congress, the you k court as well the we can expand our julia and aside from can people against extradition to the united states, to face espionage charges. the judges of find a showed and says from us, some hiring is going to be tried and sentenced. have convicted unsatisfactory. i.

sondra is facing a team charges officer. his website published secret manager documents 15 years ago and side story is going to be next. we're going to examine what the death of president able to handle. i mean sort of runs future, stay with us and also the hello. we will say some lovely weather coming in across the korean peninsula and japan clear sky is coming through here and i will ever apply pressure just starting to nestle his way through. so just load just around that is the side of homes. you have a pull out to the pipe of follow the line of cloud, right, the right down across the taiwan into southern china with a more, very heavy rain full here. and there are further heavy in front of the shouts as we go on through the next couple of days. so let's choose dice page. you've got one

into one state more the same will pick down pulls more heavy showers, coming in across a similar area and not quite just watch perfectly all the never the less than 34 celsius sunshine and beijing warm enough in so warm enough in tokyo as well, now we've got what, so what do we have across southern china? some of that is now spreading its way across. endo china, big down polls coming through here. just about anywhere i could say some very heavy and sundry showers with the potential for flash flooding. scattering a shout to me to the feel of peace, particularly across loose on an unusual showers the across malaysia into indonesia, some heavier south pre monsoon right now, sharing his hand across southern positive india red ponies in full. so that heavy, right, the vocals and flooding along with for like a meanwhile, as of 8, the waste continues to the northwest. the latest news as it breaks this year's march at the message,

not just for the cards government, but also for the incoming ones that they're not going away until they know what happened to their loved ones with detailed coverage. millions of farmers know how rich thing that we'd cross by day, whether they may not get that good right because the risk management of wait am phone from around the world for prizes rose sharply. yeah. inside when neighboring nigeria restricted as a tragic twists of faith for iran, presidents. but i think the ac is killed in a helicopter crash at a time of rising tension in the region on domestic concern over economic crisis. so what does the death of a non widely false to have been the next supreme leader meeting for iran? this is insightful, the .
