9:00 am
[♪ music ] >> hello from al jazeera's head quarters in doha. this is the news hour. coming up in the next 60 minutes. ma sharif pleads not guilty in court. scientists say global warm something driving humanity to a
9:01 am
whole flu level of risk. we visit one island that is disappearing. >> reporter: i'll have all the sports including england humiliated by the netherlands in cricket twenty20. >> first pakistan reformer president mu sharif has plead not guilty. we have been following the trial. what happened. >> reporter: well, pleading not guilty, and his defense counsel seeking permission from the court for musharraf to leave.
9:02 am
the judge dismissing those petitions however saying it was the prerogative of the central government to lift the exit control man on musharraf. and that he would be exempt from the next few headings as such as avenues free man they would have no objections. so the court putting it in the local court as far as permission to travel overseas is concerned. >> again, tell us about those charges and the fact that he could be facing the death penalty and what he's responsible for? >> reporter: well, first of all, the i.d. came on five counts. this is unprecedented because for earlier no pakistani ruler has been indicted on charges of treason under article 6 of the constitution, which could carry the death penalty or life in
9:03 am
prison. however, most observers believe that president musharraf was not alone. now as the child gets under way formally, he has a right to appeal. he'll have to file an appeal, and it will be interesting developments over the next few months. now the ball is in the government's court, whether they will allow him to leave or not is yet another question. >> kamal, thank you, in inlamb bad. the international court of justice has ordered japan to stop hunting whales in the antarctic. japan's whaling program was commercial activity disguised as science. they have killed more than
9:04 am
10,000 whales since 1986. live in sydney, how does this play out, andrew? >> reporter: well, this whole court case came down to the scientific whaling. the court is saying that it was not whaling at all but a cover for science. for it to be defined as science it is by definition shrines. what the court found while it was not the arbitrator of what was or wasn't science, and australia would put a four-point definition of what constitutes whaling, the court did not
9:05 am
accept that. particularly the number of whales they claim they needed to kill to carry out research. they said those numbers were magicked out of the air and seemed much too high for what would be necessary for genuine scientific operation. it was not vines and does not qualify as the exception of the internationally moratorium on the ban of whaling, and therefore that whaling has to stop. >> the international law professor joins me from the hague. tell us how important this is legally. >> it is very precedented in international law worldwide because this is a case that involves compliance with specific international
9:06 am
applications assumed by japan. in that respect this is a great day for compliance with international law. the court has conducted an extraordinarily detailed review of japan's obligations under the convention that regulates these matters and has found that those obligations were not met. the scientific research that japan was alleging that it was conducting in the southern ocean were not satisfying the minimum requirements to make that claim from a legal standpoint. >> tell us what impact this has been to have on japan immediately, and if japan is going to abide by this ruling, how due make sure that japan does abide by this ruling? >> i have no question in my mind that japan will go ahead and honor the ruling of the international court of justice.
9:07 am
i don't think that question needs to be asked. >> there is possibility that japan will look at this in a different scientific way and will pull out from the court. >> i don't think that japan will abide by the international court of justice. i think trying to attempt norway to disguise whaling that is not really scientific is already a losing proposition. i don't doesn't that japan will attempt that. >> that certainly is good news you have such belief that japan will abide by this, it makes you wonder how japan was allowed to do this for so long if it was seen as breaking international law. >> it's not that it was allowed. after all there is a long
9:08 am
history of resistence to this type of whaling. there is a long list of which the international community did not agree with japan with its so-called scientific research programs. so there was a very important resistence that was put up by the international community. but when disputes of this natural arise the community has availed itself of legal instrumented for the inclusion, for the peaceful solution. that's what the work of the court represents today. >> thank you very much for talking with us over rather drama news. facing a prison sentence after being convicted of bribery
9:09 am
although denied any wrongdoing while mayor of jerusalem. he became the first former israeli prime minister to be convicted when found guilty of breaching trust. we have more on this latest trial. >> reporter: he is now a convicted man. a massive fall from grace for the mayor. >> it is immediate, and he's now facing a significant jail sentence. that for anyone and certainly for a former prime minister is a very daunting development. >> reporter: one of israel's largest corruption trial lasted almost two years. all stems back when mayor ohlmert was mayor. and it was all about zoning, the holy land complex. a residential block which towers
9:10 am
over the jerusalem skyline. it ended up being 12 times bigger than what was originally approved. the judge rejected olmert's version of events entirely and said he lied in court. and this was hailed as a victory for the justice system. >> this day is a milestone for the public in israel. the court has said loud and clear stop the defilement and stop the government corruption. the result and decision that the court came to is proof that. the immune set of israel's society still works. the fight against corruption is a determined uncompromising struggle. >> if olmert wanted to make a political comeback that appears to be gone. this ruling will send him to prison. he'll reappear in court for sentencing.
9:11 am
his attorneys say they will appealel decision. >> peter greste said he had no connection with the banned muslim brotherhood. the three were denied bail and the trial was moved to apri april 10th. al jazeera continues to demand the immediate release of all of its staff and rejects all the charges. the executive director of the international press institute said the detention of al jazeera's journalists raises many questions. >> we're extraordinarily concerned not only that they are being detained but the state of which they're being detaped. we understand that they ar are--there are injuries among the three journalists, particularly of one journalist who has a dislocated shoulder and is in need of treatment. we have learned there have been
9:12 am
illnesses among the two other journalists. we would like independent people to be able to see the journalists, and talk to them about their health and how they are being treated in prison. >> if you look at egypt's constitution, which was ratified by a great majority of the people in egypt, there is a call for the separation of the state into the military, the police, and also the judiciary, but we think there is a lot of pressure on judges to look at these cases, and to actually put harsher sentences on the people who are being tried. we're very, very concerned about influence on judges there, particularly right now when there is heightened concern about the upcoming election and, etc. our goal in the end is to make sure that people are able to cover these sort of issues, journalists are able to cover
9:13 am
these sort of issues without fear of imprisonment or without fear with what is happening right now to mohammed, peter, and bader. >> a warning that everyone on earth will be effected by climate change and the impact could be irreversible. this highlights some of the growing extremist that humans are facing. flood something likely in some regions and frequent droughts in others, and food production with higher prices and people going hunger. there will be more mosquitoes and water-borne disease and it will threat to kill a large number of species. >> why should the world listen to this report? we've assessed impacts as they are happening and impacts on
9:14 am
natural and human systems, on all continents and oceans. i would like to emphasize that in view of these impacts and those that we have projected for the future nobody on this planet is going to be untouched by the impacts of climate change. >> the effect of climate change already are already being felt. 5 million people are runnin areg their villages. >> reporter: he always thought that he and his family would be safe. >> even a year ago you couldn't see it from here. it was miles away. but the water broke through. >> this used to be the room
9:15 am
where the family would eat. now they're forced to eat in the open. he was born in this house. he lived his whole life here. but now he has to find a new place to stay. this is a process that locals on the island have gone through eight, nine, ten times. >> reporter: this used to be a garden. just ten years ago it used to take two whole days to walk from here to the river bank. stretching out there used to be a dozen villages. today they are all gone. according to experts climate change is to blame for the island's disappearing act. rising sea levels and a river that crashes down on the shores harder than ever thanks to erratic rains. >> the countries that are responsible have to take responsibility for this. >> they have built villages to house the displaced but there
9:16 am
aren't enough of them. >> the demand for these houses is much more than the supply. so many people who have lost their homes demand is too much. >> even some of these villages have already been lost to the encroaching waters. so far half of the residents have been displaced. for the rest it won't be long until they share the same fate. >> there is more to come on the al jazeera news hour. stay with us why for why russia has sent in to crimea it's highest ranking politician. war games close to boards, and in sport could djokovic deny's nadal?
9:17 am
>> russia's prime minister has made a surprise visit to crimea's capitol of simferopol. he announced plans to turn the region into a special economic zone to drum up investment there. we're in kiev, has there been any official reaction to the visiter? >> there has been a statement released on the website of the foreign affairs calling this a crud violation of the rules of international behavior suggesting when a senior official decides to visit the territory of another country it is proper protocol to make arrangements with that other country keeping up the pretense really if you like that crimea is, in fact, still a part of ukraine. russia clearly doesn't think so. they wouldn't be sending their prime minister there if they did
9:18 am
think so, and it's a pretty stark sign that they have no intention of handing it back. it comes, just a day after long talks on sunday night between russia and the united states. john kerry and sergei lavrov met to discuss the crisis in cry mia. russia put forth its requirements to the federalization of this country splitting off the ethnic russian forces away from crimea, and the u.s. calling for the withdrawal of troops. and there are reports that that may have begun. but it suggests that in negotiations ongoing this has become to make sure that russia
9:19 am
does not go further into ukraine. >> how did kiev react to those talks between russia and the u.s. >> again, on its website expressing outrage saying under the barrels of its machine guns the aggressor demands one thing, the complete capitulation of crimea and suggesting that russia look into its own backyard and look at its own problems with minorities. russia has it's only problems, and russia breathing down its neck with its sinister and threatening presence ready and able to influence events here.
9:20 am
>> thank you for that from kiev. victory after sunday's local elections. early results show that won around 45% of the votes. the vote is widely seen as a test of his popularity and leadership. we're live when will we get the official results jamal? >> reporter: well, we're not sure yet. the higher election commission has sent back for the releasing of the official results, offer sources other than the commission have told al jazeera that results coming in through the anecdotal news agencies here in turkey are almost ideal to the results that they have had, although that is an off the record comment. in terms of the results we've seen that the party has increased its percentage or it's share of the votes in these elections, particularly compared to the last time that they took
9:21 am
to the polls in 2009. and increased by 7%. that's something that tacyycep erdogan has suggested that this cements his place and his party's place in this country. >> any idea whatte what erdogans party will do with this renewed confidence. >> reporter: it's dependent on who you speak to. i want to show you some newspaper headlines, there are those that talk to it. there are those who call this a straight victory. there is one newspaper here which eventually refuses to accept erdogan's party winning saying it is a victory for the four other parties bearing in mind erdogan's party got 45% of the vote meaning that 55% of the
9:22 am
people did not vote for them. thianother newspaper saying this a march toward authoritarianism, anand erdogan would continue wih what critics have accused of him. when talking to the party they said there would be measures of confidence building and build bridges to the society. >> thanks for that, jamal. north and south korea have exchanged fire. none of the shells were fired at targets online. we have reports. [ gunfire ] >> reporter: this was supposed to be the main show of firepower
9:23 am
on the korean peninsula. coming to shore on the biggest amphibious assault drill here in 20 years. but not for the first time north korea had other ideas. on south korea's far flung northwestern islands residents hunkered down as north and south exchanged fire. 100 of the 500 shells fired in what 2 terms provocation. >> our military fired back 300 rounds of artillery. we're working together to closely monitor the movement of the north korean army. >> reporter: in 2010 four south koreans died. instead, the shells fell in the
9:24 am
water. they carrieed out what they called nuclear tests. >> these things don't usually spiral, but north korea now has a well-known, well established detonation capacity. they now can explode a device. now the real question is can they miniturize it and put it on top of a rocket and send it somewhere. >> reporter: we boarded a military aircraft and headed offshore to the center of operations for this drill. even before today's reports of exchange of fire, even before this exercise got under way, it's sheer scale that north korea might want to put on a show of its own no response. the most senior marine based in the region said they had factored that in to their planning. >> the advantage in our ability to train together in this unique situation as long as we did it
9:25 am
in the least threatening manner that we could, we felt there was good advantage to it, and it would not lead to significant provocation. >> reporter: the u.s. military said this was opportune timing. after the relatively positive start in terms of relations including high-level talks between north and south in seven years, they have returned to a more familiar form of dialogue involving weaponry instead of words. >> we'll look at the world weather situation. we have some thunderstorms and these have been really lively. we look at the satellite area. we can see the area of cloud that makes its way across, and in beembedded in that are heavy thunderstorms. for some people it was rather wet because they had to be
9:26 am
outside, but this is after the finals of the rugby seven and the celebration was rather a wet affair. it does look pretty miserable. that's the lighter hearted aspects of this weather. elsewhere it was severe. this picture shows people rescuing a car rather than people in the car. this roof was once intact and then the hail started. you can see all the holes just being punched in by that thunderstorms. now over the next few days it's going to stay very unsettled across this region so there is likely to be more in the thund thundering downpours and this is going to be sweeping its way eastward. if anything it does look like wednesday is going to be a particularly wet day, and there could be rather ferocious weather once more. meanwhile we head towards madagascar. the weather here is brighter than it might have been.
9:27 am
12 hours ago this was the equivalent of a hurricane of a five-point scale before it against most severe. here the storm would fall apart. by the time it made landfall it was the equivalent of a category one thunderstorm. it is going to be wet and stormy but not nearly as bad as it could have been. >> firing shots in afghanistan. this is as much of a show of power as it is about arresting anyone. >> afghanistan police look to scare off troublemakers before the election.
9:28 am
an inquest into britain's worst sporting disaster gets under way. we'll have more on sports.
9:29 am
>> welcome to the al jazeera news hour. pakistan's former president musharraf has appeared in court in islamabad pleading not guilty to treason charges that carry the death penalty. he's answering charges to emergency rule in 2007.
9:30 am
the international justice has ordered japan to stop its whaling program. it's rule is that it's not for scientific program and is commercial and is illegal. the trial of three jailed al jazeera journalists in egypt has been adjourned until apri april 10th. the three were denied bail. during the hearing the trio were allowed to directly address the jail for the first time. peter greste said he had no connection with the banned group muslim brotherhood. security forces have left more than 1500 people dead in the northeastern my gee i can't over the last three months. that's according to a new report from amnesty international. the attacks on villages where they left 70 people dead.
9:31 am
in another area 59 people were killed including students who were killed in a dormitory. they carried on what amnesty international called uncontrolled reprisals. the attacks could institute war crimes and crimes against humanity. we have a researcher with amnesty international focusing on nigeria. what do you make of these findings? >> thank you very much for having us. i have documented a range of human rights violations over the years since 2008. and this findings are the result of our continued on the on going conflict, and we think it is time for international community to walk with the algerian authorities.
9:32 am
>> i mean, why you've seen such heavy handed reprisals by the government security forces, how is that allowed? >> it's not allowed under the international human rights law standards. that's why we think the authorities have an obligation to ensure that the response to the violence within the bounds of international human right laws standards. we have conducted from the interviews we've had people who have been affected by the violence and the conflicts in northeastern nigeria. >> so excuse me, what sort of impact does it have on innocent people, this fighting? >> well, the majority o of those affected b have been the civilians. we mentioned in the report the
9:33 am
civilian population has been trapped in this ongoing fighting, and many have been deprived of access to humanitarian support. many have been unlawfully arrested and detained for lengthy periods without charge or trial. many have been separated from their families. many are forced to flee their homes and their communities and now they're seeking refuge in other parts of nigeria. >> other destabilizing the country what do you think the ultimate aim is here? >> well, they have claimed in several public statements and reports that they want to establish a street sharia law. they don't trust the current system of sharia in operation in that part of the country. we'rthey ares are against weste,
9:34 am
and we're calling for the nigeria government to ensure that the work with the international community to stop this on going fighting, and to ensure that ordinary civilian population in nigerian not just in the north but in nigeria is protected by human rights. and demanding to protect them from attacks. we think because of the seeming unwillingness and apparent inability of the nigerian government to conduct investigations into these allegationallegations of war crs against humanity, we ask for the nigeria government to place
9:35 am
human rights strongholds in the area, an. >> thanks for talking about your report. fascinating reading. tens of thousands of niger nigeriaens have fled the country because of that violence we're talking about. many have gone to neighboring kneniger. >> they have crossed the board of niger hoping for refuge. >> any time there is an attack many people die. boca haram is killing people. >> they just keep on killing people. we need urgent help from the
9:36 am
government. >> reporter: the government in nijer has given refugee status but it's worried there coo be an encouragement of influx or even bring fighters to the border. so many live in the severe desert, scorching at my day and freezing at night. >> we have no food or shoulder. the rainy season is upon us and i have no place to live in. >> the lack of former camps has deprived the refugee organized services such as healthcare. there are at least 50,000 nigerian refugees in niger many are scattered along the border. it's cautious approach to the refugees echos worries across the rage that boca haram' m.
9:37 am
and they're worried about the spread of nigeria insurgency. >> half a million iraqis have fled to homes in anbar province. many south refuge sought refuge. >> no matter what the circumstance children will find a way to play. there are 191,000 people registered as internally displaced. and they live like this. internally displaced is the official term. perhaps a better description would be refugees within their own country. along with others left anbar province in january. they were trying to escape the fighting after iraq's army took on gunmen from the group of
9:38 am
islamic state of iraq. >> we were caught between two fires. on one side the iraqi army. on the other side the rebels. it was living hell. i was afraid for my life. we fled as soon as we could. i was afraid we would not make it out alive. it's safer here, but it's a different kind of hell. >> the amount of people arriving from anbar province has placed a tremendous strains. everywhere you go, you see scene like this, people waiting for aid. there are 300,000 residents. after that, 191,000 people fleeing from anbar province. they're being helped in rain way they can. and they use scores of porta-cabins and even empty homes. they say they're struggling to
9:39 am
cope. >> reporter: his job is to provide aid and logistics. >> we're rapidly reaching our threshold. the population of this town is struggling, and if these people are here for a year or more, i don't know how we will cope. the international groups need to do more. >> reporter: the government needs to help us. we receive some help but it's not enough. >> so far it's been private aid distributed in places like this mosque that has helped in a small way. a much bigger effort is needed. but most important is a resolution to the conflict in anbar province that will allow these peopling to home. but with neither side backing down that does not look like it will happen any time soon. al jazeera. >> taliban fighters have kidnapped a political candidate during campaigning in northern afghanistan. he was abducted along with seven of his supporters on sunday night. his campaign was received on a
9:40 am
provincial council. there has been a search in taliban attacks ahead of elections later this week. polls in afghanistan's elections were opened saturday. hoping to choose a new president and provincial council. elections were fruit with allegations of fraud and vote rigging. jane ferguson went on patrol with police where they stepped up security. >> these valleys, roads and mountains will take all to tame on this mission. he is the new police chief, and it is thick with thieves and taliban. over 100 of his men raced to the mountains in dawn. the general are after two specific criminal bosses. armed men here often kidnap local force ransom and rob vehicles. but these days they can be hired by candidates to tamper with voting boxes and threaten
9:41 am
officials. >> irresponsible armed men stuff boxes in favor of some candidates and these operations that we're carrying out to stop these people from elections fraud or to top their threats on election sites. >> reporter: they are led to this tiny village, but the men have fled leaving just frightened women answering the police's questions. some men are arrested nearby, but the showdown with criminal leaders does not take place. this landscape offers a refugee for those on the run. so they send a message loud enough for them to hear. >> this is as much about a show of power as it is about arresting. but i the police come in and let any ban kids know--bandits know that they are here. it is all about footprints for
9:42 am
these men. it is in an area that some would prefer to be police-free. >> it is important and effective to show the afghan forces' presence in areas. we fought with a group and i heard that some of them are selling their guns and running away. >> but the police have to return to base. those who ran away will likely come back. it will still be tough to get accurate voting results here. while the taliban increases the tax in the capitol in the run up to election day in these rural areas it is criminals who are the biggest threat. those who break the law know they can make good money working against democracy. jane ferguson, al jazeera, afghanistan. >> an outbreak of the ebola virus has spread to liberia. the health ministry has confirmed to cases. the highly contagious virus has

9:44 am
>> they would kidnap people, denying the freedom of their city. hey came to bring back peace and we did it in a peaceful way. this is a democratic state. >> reporter: but the operation started early on sunday morning with sand grenades and tear gas that fill the air, and protesters responding with homemade motorre mortars and ro. one even had a homemade shotgun but could only retreat as government forces overwhelm them. >> they are doing what they want. they're entering people's house and abusing people and throwing tear gas into people's homes. >> life came to a grinding halt when students began protesting against rising crime, food shortages and inflation.
9:45 am

9:49 am
something called yellow dragon plague means these groves are producing less fruit. there are farmers who are hoarding the crops and selling lime's only when price goes up. but for some they're just making the best of a bad situation. depictions of a nation craving lime's is seen by millions and it's a way of getting through the crisis. >> we mexicans laugh about things that worry us. maybe this is not that important, but it definitely has an impact on the economy and our families. there are other things that people can't afford, but some how we manage to laugh at all of it. >> reporter: with mexico producing most of the world's lime's the impact of the shortage is global. they hope that price also fall with a growing season approaching with the thought of high-priced lime's leaving a bitter taste.
