[000:00:00;00] the, [000:00:00;00] the chief prosecutor of the international criminal court seeks arrest warrants for the is really prime minister and senior hamas leaders on charges of war crimes. the serve, any age good to have you with us. this is allen to 0 life from the also coming up.

siding in janine is really forces killed at least 7 palestinians and a refugee camp in the occupied was beautiful processions begin for it runs late presidents. abraham received was killed in a helicopter crash on sunday. and a wail of an issue, an you japanese ship set sail on its maiden voyage, will be explaining why that is causing controversy. after more than 7 months that israel's devastating war on gaza, which has killed at least $35562.00 palestinians, the chief prosecutor of the world's top criminal court assaults arrest warrants for israel's prime minister benjamin netanyahu. and his defense minister, you'll have a good lot. they are accused of war crimes and crimes against humanity in gaza. netanyahu says it's a complete distortion of reality. the accuracy prosecutor also wants to arrest warrants for 3. i'm us leaders for the october 7th attack and southern israel,

a move that has been denounced by him us. some a bunch of a begins are coverage. solving to it is a crime. the killing civilians is a little crime. and then for the causing suffering is also a criminal act. those are the top 2 reasons. the prosecutor of the international criminal court has cited for requesting and restaurants for these really prime minister benjamin netanyahu, and defense minister golf kalonde. i reasonable grounds to believe on the basis of evidence collected and examined by my office that he's really prime minister benjamin netanyahu administer of defense. you. i've got a 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 war crimes and crimes against humanity. the foreign minister is read cods that says it's a historic disgrace. and that especially for room has been set up to counteract the

decision. but not everyone agrees is right. really gain to text. it says, was this war of the whole, vague is of december and the whole body does against us any to unite the game. these very easy to very nation at least stick even more nation is this way and everyone receives, so just in such a victim by these evil decision, i think it's adjusted. this is the i c. c. prosecutors also seeking the rest of ordering support from us political and been if you need to explain honey, you can send bar and bahama dave that are reasonable grounds to believe that these 3 i'm actually to is a criminal. you're responsible for the killing of these really civilians and attacks perpetrated by a mass on the other. i'm groups on the 7th of october 2023. the palestinian group says the rest of organs for nothing. yeah. who wouldn't kalonde a several months too late? and rather than equating the victim with the perpetrator, i. c. c, should or did the rest of all occupation officials gave orders and the soldiers who

carried out the crimes. if we want to be honest, we should be looking at what it is that the government, these really government has been doing the orders that it has it issued to it's soldiers and it's 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 cottage and gods and folded cream hunts. critics, even of the un security council, criticized what they saw as, as in action to hold as we had a comfortable seas via a ceasefire of israel's allies, including the united states, mostly expressed anger. i had to mondays, i cc announcement target israel and we will talk to you that 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 isn't likely 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, you know, because there are a couple of whom reports now from central guys on the reaction from there. well, in fact, the chief prosecute of the international court criminal court has accused of must lead is including the s and y. and how much they use the main head, a official in the military wing of how much alongside weight is main heavy. the chief political, the political group chief of the movements of committing a overseeing crimes against is where the community is on october. the 7th where one south will more than 1000 is barely have been to the sofa with, with at least 205250 others being taken captives inside the territory here. but

they have a also pulled in a statement to the, to national criminal code to come. so this arrest warrants against that fleet as, as they have been confirming and saying that the court is a drawing to equate thing between the victim and the executioner. in an attempt, that's how mazda is trying to say, that is where the leaders are responsible for all kinds of mastic has been committed inside the territories since october. the 7th apartment is to benjamin netanyahu, whose government has been in the office here in israel. so we are reporting from the georgia union capital a mine where a mancha gun has been following reaction from his real problems. any guns member the war cabinet to y'all to pay the leader of the opposition to the far right ministers. everybody has reacted, but that does seem to be one key thing that is coming out. and this is what the parent himself had site this upset and deceitful warrant of the prosecutor and the

he is a not on you israel's permanent state and defense. but it's the, it's aimed against the entire state of israel, and that's really the language that's coming through, you know, just from the political echelons, but in all of the editorial leaders in the newspapers. all of the commentators speaking on tv. this is actually in a very old way, uniting the state of israel because everybody believes that this isn't about individuals. what about your around the defense minister note about the appointment and stuff, but this is an attack against israel. the fact that the cooling, it's a false equivalent of our democratic, the elected political leaders with the terrorist of mass. that's another quote from an editorial that i read today. so this is really the reaction. it is like you say on surprising up, but it did take the is ready political establishment by surprise. the news that the

was this application for arrest warrants, they did know it was coming so they didn't think that it was going to be so far ranging to now just a reminder that prime minister netanyahu is government has been delta 0 from reporting in israel. so we are reporting on this from a neighboring jordan. here's how the procedure unfolds. now that the i c c stop, prosecutor has applied for several arrest warrants, and application is made to the courts free trial chamber to decide whether sufficient grounds in jurisdiction of the court exist. if the arrest warrants are indeed issued, then suspects can voluntarily surrender to the guy c. c, or countries that have signed up to his room statute have an obligation to arrest them. if they are apprehended, then a hearing will be held to decide if there is enough evidence to go to trial. if the case proceeds through trial, judges preside, and the prosecution of 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. law, me to a most rejoices, now he's a political analyst professor of media studies at the doha institute for graduate studies mohammed, one thing we need to make really clear as the likelihood is and there will not be a rest. it's not a certainty, but it's the likelihood that you've seen there's an arrest warrant out on the russian president, for instance, vladimir puts in right, has been for more than a year. nobody believes he's about to get a rest. right. well, there are more than a 100 countries that are signed onto the rooms statute, but if a arrest warrants are ultimately issued, and i expect that they will be all these people have to do with that in yahoo and galani and also the i'm us figures and they just have to simply avoid traveling to these, to these countries. now it's also unclear whether these, all of these countries will be on board, whether they will choose to follow the law, which does say they have to arrest these individuals. so the united states, for instance,

which does little to conceal it's contempt for international law in general. and the ice you see, and which is not a party to the i c sense of the rooms that are also not a party to the rome statute. so they may, you know, sort of, uh, they may allow netanyahu to travel or go out to travel to the united states and give them diplomatic immunity that's been, that's been suggested under. i've also been threats coming out of the united states by republican, a members of congress saying that they will sanction members of the i, c. c. there have been suggestions that a bill should be passed. and so this is something that we have to keep our eye on. i think going forward. something i wanted to raise with you is the nature of the criticism that we've seen from both of us and israel, against these arrest warrant applications. they're both saying, hey, you, you being the chief prosecutor, you are equating the victim and the aggressor now of course, in homeless and israel's telling of it that they each see themselves as the victim,

right? but they're saying, you can't put us on a, this is this not a level, it's not an even playing field. one is the aggressor one is the victim. and this kind of effects completely misses the point, the points of seeking arrest one or it says that you're going to have more criminals on both sides. exactly, exactly. that's, that's precisely the point. and i think certainly of israel's case, this is a strategy to to try and sort of deflect. right. they are now. i mean the walls are really cornering cornering in on, on israel you have even but sell them which is leading is really a human rights organization saying that the error of, of impunity is over. that is real. can no longer committed crimes against the palestinians. and let it go to end, you know, the world is not going to let it go unchecked any longer. so that's, that's, i think the significance and so in that sense it's not surprising to see is real, tried to try to deflect a play, play victim as it has always done. and we've seen that just over the past 7 months,

always sort of deflecting attention back onto october 7th, backdrop, back onto moss. but as you rightly point out, it is possible theoretically and in practice for 2 sides to be committing or to have committed war crimes. and that nobody here seems to be changing their attack on anything. right. a mazda is not saying, sorry we, we have violated international law. we're gonna surrender ourselves to the international justice system. benjamin netanyahu is not saying, oh, well this, this gives me pause. this makes me reflect on the decisions we've made. we're going to prosecute this war a little differently. so this is all of this reality is playing in the, in the bubble of international law on the ground. nothing changes. i don't think anything's gonna change on, on the ground. in fact, if anything is good going to change is real, might actually intensify and, and escalate, sort of from its, knows that international. that's what it's done in the past. i mean, there was the famous decision back in 2004 that the, the separation wall,

the apartheid wall was illegal. and israel just pretended that that ruling never happened. they proceeded as though nothing had happened. we saw back in january with the i c, j, the provisional measures is real actually escalated and it's attacks on gaza in the aftermath of that. and then it also went on to our cues on our wall of, of terrorism. right. so it, it sort of went on the offensive, and then i thought it was interesting that as this was happening over the past 24 hours or so, it's real also escalated it's attacks on, on gaza. right? we had more than $100.00 fatalities and draws a over a period of, of several hours that was much more intense than anything we had seen over the past week to 10 days. so i think we have to also keep that. keep that in mind. yeah. and these really prime minister is accused of using starvation as a weapon of as, as part of a state policy and how they conduct this war. and right now the human has said that there's a full blown famine in gaza and he has not done that. we can see publicly, not taking any actions to prevent that from unfolding. i thought it was interesting

that he mentioned that explicitly, and i think we forget that israel promised to starve guidance. we're all the way back on october 7th, and not only did your kalonde promise the siege, no food, no fuel, no water, but you had to do your island to come out and say not only that, we also have to present organizations from delivering aid to thousands we have to actively fight against them. that's a statement that i think has kind of gone under the radar. but i think it's really important. all right, mohammed and most recently so much for joining us in the studio is really forces have killed at least 7 palestinians during a military rate in the city of janine and the occupied westbank among those killed include a teacher, a student, and a surgeon. at least 9 palestinians, and also been injured. 2 of whom are in serious condition. and military sent reinforcements to the area after special is really unis infiltrated the city in the camp where they were confronted by palestinian fighters. i was just, there was an it abraham has more now on the situation in the occupied west. thank. well we know now that's confrontations are still continuing in

a certain area that has been surrounded by these really forces. but the confrontations are going on between the policy and fighters, and these really forces what the way that the janine area and the janine refugee camp in the are the hours of the morning we're talking about am. this is the time when palestinians are going to their schools, so that will work. this is why we seem to palestinians who would have going through the work, who have been killed at a doctor who has been mowed by the palestinian health ministry is a surgeon in the hospital as well as a teacher. we are also talking about all the products thing is who would have killed it, 7 of them, but at least 6 with identified then according to the information we've gotten from the medical sources, 2 of them out of miners under 18 and the injuries that have caused them to be killed with directed to the test and the head. so we're talking about the intention to kill as far as promising is there are concerns we've seen and is really

statements from these really. it's our me saying that they have operated on a group of what they called tyra risk. but the cold didn't to palestinians who would be the palestinians who have been killed are all civilians. some of them would even over the age of $55.00. so we're not talking about fighters at the moment a little. we are seeing the confrontations going on according to locals. they are, they say this a bulldozer has made its way inside. there were fiji camps. they believe that it's fair to demolish the home of, of how the city in was been early, are killed by these really forces. we are anticipating this to continue for a while. and the situation is very sense at the moment. the only good news that we've gotten from them at the moment is that the children who would, inside the schools would cost in the fire were able to be safely evacuated to their families. right now, this is jeanine refugee camp has seen more as really military rates than anywhere else in the occupied west. back for the thousands of children who called at home.

it means being exposed to the violence and trauma of war on a new daily basis. now since there was english robbie, as long as it did, you need refugee camp a burial shroud becomes a child's cost if they take turns putting it on, emulating their heroes palestinian fighters killed by it's made. so it is normal for children to mimic adults recreating the things they see every day . but in the occupied westgate, what passes for me seems to the eyes of its children. can see more of it. we are playing cuz we're in as an out of the details of the game on the corporation or meet rates of it. so those act as the soldiers and others of fighters and someone gets when did, the army comes in and codes him, then they sold the house. and then there are classes scenarios acted out against a backdrop that is all to real. the panic of running battles,

the injured left in the street, civilians used as human shields were taken prisoner by his regular troops. they take cover, reboot and prepare for the next boom. with toys often coupled together from scraps their prized possessions, the way they move is almost tactical factor. well, what other children learn from movies? these youngsters have learned from real life even rebuilding in the aftermath of us really rates all the time. so i mean, how do we talk about more about the incursions, they want to protest and fight. they are very influenced by whatever happens around them. they see young people being killed target to the nearest dykes and they ask, why should we have to live like this? we must defend ourselves. so that's, so i called to just say this is a form of healing. playing for 10 more to cope with the trauma of living in

a wheel. one of the children use playing 4 different things. first of all, just to able to control the situations where the field that i'm able to to control . because children normally feel headed this, comparing to their parents, they're expressing what they're seeing and what they're suffering. because even if they are laughing, it's part of their environment. a life of this conflict where they feel helpless. and sometimes they feel of the parents or the others around them who's supposed to provide them with protection on helpless, also unable to protect them. it is about processing pain and having some agency in their own lives. therapist say their behavior is not necessarily fine. their circumstances are within their games. they are free because in the imagination of palestinian children, they get to decide who wins the same. beside the old as 0, remo loved the occupied westbank, palestine still ahead on elsie's 0 time runs out on president. but let him use the

landscapes tournament office, yet there won't be any election for now. 9 men say's trial for allegedly closing one of the worst migrants shipwrecks and the minutes away. the hello again. many parts of australia. i won't catch a drop of rain this week. i for one. so here's the big picture on wednesday. not seen much showers. okay. few showers maybe around brisbin and the gold coast, but this isn't going to be anything major. let's paint the colors on dark. the blue and the purple, the colder it is. we do have some frosts. the starts of the day and the red center . alice just to degrees above freezing, waking up thursday morning. that is below average. back to the here. now for new

zealand. weather alerts in play for the east coast. if the north island was some pretty steady bouts of rain to go here or the next 24 hours or so. and the biggest 1st of rain in indonesia will be for central kelly, montana on borneo island. and the west coast of sumatra island. then we've got rain blanket in the admin. see that's crushing into the south coast with me. i'm are crossing the border into thailand. this is injected a lot of moisture into the atmosphere. so showers and storms in indo china and showers and storms moving away from se, trying as food. yeah. and province that we're crushing to the west coast of taiwan . but it's hot north of this along the yellow river valley. same goes for china is capital beijing, $33.00 degrees. if you've got a warm breeze scare,

but your temperatures will be coming down and the days to come see the, the, [000:00:00;00] the, [000:00:00;00] the, you're watching else a 0, a reminder of our headlines. the chief prosecutor of the world's top criminal court is seeking arrest warrants, phase rails prime minister benjamin netanyahu,

and his defense minister you'll have to launch. they are accused of war crimes and crimes against humanity in gaza. netanyahu says it's a complete distortion of reality. israel's military is continuing to target civilians across guns are killing at least $35562.00 pounds a stay in since october. the un says 40 percent of the strips population has been displaced in the last 2 weeks. is really forces have killed at least 7 palestinians during a military rate in the city of janine and the occupied westbank among those killed are a teacher, a student and a surgeon, at least 9 palestinians, and also been injured to are in serious condition. so the funeral ceremony is underway for it runs late presidents abraham racy in the northern city of to breeze . he was killed in a helicopter crash on sunday, along with a foreign minister and 7 others. tens of thousands of people have gathered to pay

their respect. it is the 2nd of 5 days of national morning announced by iran supreme leader of the holiday races body will be laid to rest in his hometown of my shot on thursday for sol, sort or has more from the capital to run. squeezed a project band that happened at tragic incident that happened in the country, so that was definitely of the not the expected. so present himself relatively was a young figure. 63 years old. and many people were expecting him to be re elected in the presidential election that was scheduled to the next year. and even many people viewed him as a likely successor to the supreme leader. on the other hand of the, the, here's the for the minister who's in the middle of july. yeah. and also was a very valid on about a stablished figure in the country. and then suddenly, both of them with many of others, they have died in a tragic event in a tragic crash. so the mode in general in the company is quite small and full in that sense. so they're the head of the government, the top diplomat,

they're gone. but the other hand, you know, so uh if i am very easy, was it conservative politician, it was very well around the popular among the conservative segments, types of society. and also this top judgment, on the other hand, the reformist and some of the people who are supporting the reformist we're quite unhappy about these policies. uh, the end of seeing that in 2022. the total of tests that have dropped it over the job lows. that was one of the signs off that the people were not happy with many of his policies as well. so it's quite mixed. however, as i said, she has died in a very tragic incident. and the jungle moved into in, in, in, in iran is quite mournful at that time. and you will see several cities, thousands of people are gathered in state of prey in and also thousands are now at the moment, gathering that she is funeral. the 9 egyptian men are facing trial in greece for

the thinking of a vessel carrying hundreds of people in the mediterranean. last year, they were accused of people smuggling more than $500.00 people were on board. the audrianna, most of them died on their way from libya, italy, only 80 bodies were recovered. it was one of the worst shipwrecks in the mediterranean. in recent years, agreed coast guard was accused of failing to intervene in the rescue. body near the landscape term as president of ukraine was scheduled to end on the 20th of may, but with the country at moore and marshall law declared. the parliament has postponed the vote and no elections have been scheduled so far. gone home and reports from keith. it's been 5 years. 5 years is a fresh face. below them is the landscape became president of the piece time you cried. that with me now is the end of is to say, i'm fresh elections. somebody else with the country on the marshall lewis is 2022 votes, prohibited. the incumbent, president continues in office in

a statement last november he said that was the right course. not is denied, but it now is the time of defense, which is the time of the bottle that determines the faith of the state and the people when it is not the time from and that the license which on the roster would expect from ukraine. i believe that now is not the right time for election in fiji . the few he questioned his own during legitimacy and he remains popular lower than before. his approval ratings still over 60 percent to many ukrainians on such feeling the election would be unrealistic and disrupt the worth. the po, the smaller 78 percent of those all said they were gains collections before the end of the war. in addition to that, there's also the practical difficulties. some ukrainian towns ruins many power

plants have been hit. so they were rolling blackouts in parts of the country, and perhaps most importantly, a 1000000 ukrainians, a displaced 5000000 of them outside the country. is also the problem in getting the boat to ukrainians and russian control regions that have still been some questions from outside of the country. political i'm list alexi have and says they come from one place. sions. when we hear about the selection that it's necessary to have some selections because otherwise the landscape will not be legitimate. foyce, things that gosh, dictate the same data in that aspect. is things that within you crime is more concerned about the concentration of power in the hands of president. so let's get a few others in is in a circle or position in p below. to me, how do you all use for

a national unity government to dilute that power and eventually elections to even during the war? so free world, it should remain free and democratic, even in the most difficult conditions. otherwise, beating the dragon, returns to drag them and debts we should preserve and to shoot still hope was to deal with this for that. but a vote and ukraine still looks as far away as victory does for a country struggling to stop a russian of bones. john home and how does it keep australia and new zealand are sending plains to evacuate their citizens from new caledonia, indigenous conic activists say that they are determined to force the withdrawal of an electoral reform bill. and they refuse to abandon the roadblocks that have largely shut down the pacific archipelago for a week. at least 6 people have been killed and hundreds, arrested, conic islander, and say the voting reform would dilute their voice and erode their culture. oh, last not unless probably won't give up until they withdraw the reform that are about to vote. so no, we won't give up even if we have to die for it. we'll stay here on the road

blockers. good to go there, but we're waiting for the bolting reform to be withdrawn, because it means be illumination of the conduct the people we're already in the minority. if they get this referred to congress, we're screwed. that's what they don't understand with their. we're already a minority at home and your japanese whaling ship has set sail on its maiden voyage during the controversy over tokyo has continued support for the hunting of wales. japan is one of only 3 countries in the world that allows commercial wailing and this new ocean going mothership is the 1st of its kind to be built in 70 years. from abroad reports a highly controversial vessel for many, most people in the japanese wailing for to if she, i'm on a 2nd. the kind of getting the root is a source of civic pride or supple. it's great because it's a big also, it's
