national criminal court has rejected a request to open an investigation into possible war crimes and afghanistan judges cited a lack of evidence and state cooperation prosecutors had wanted to examine the actions of afghan security forces the taliban and us troops during one thousand years of conflict which a decades from human rights watch he said the i.c.c. his assessment is incomprehensible. i don't believe it isa about a failure of evidence from my reading of the judge's decision they essentially turn justice on its head and say yes crimes were committed with the in the i.c.c. s m.p. there were no domestic trials addressing these alleged crimes but nonetheless they are dismissing the prosecutor's request to me it's in concrete in civil by way of the judicial decision we've seen again and

again that justice poor crime is a mass slaughter the use of rape as. a weapon of war bringing some justice to victims who endure those acts is essential to a meaningful and durable peace and that's what the i.c.c. prosecutor attempting to provide that judges in this instance have turned her request to do so now but perhaps the ramifications extend beyond afghanistan to the point where you perpetrate the most horrific crimes but that domesticity situation is such that investigations may not be feasible then there will be no

effort by the international criminal court whether it's in afghanistan or another prompter. our time for a short break here and al-jazeera when we come back here in the south a city slum in iraq where residents say their faith lies on their religious beliefs and among that with politicians and the u.s. president wants to send migrants to cities controlled by his political opponents following that stay with us. hello again i do want to update you on what is happening here across parts of iran because the flooding situation is ongoing it will not end until probably the next several weeks to a month but until then we are still dealing with often on showers across much of the area and of course that is going to hinder much of that water to be going down

and as you can see here on saturday the rain is going to be a big problem across southern iran and as we go towards sunday much of that rain does increase and does push over here towards the east up here towards the north though tehran will finally get out of the rain probably by sunday evening and over here towards baghdad it is going to be a very hot day for you at about thirty two degrees well that same area of rain will cause a problem here in doha over the next few days it is going to be quite heavy on saturday particularly into saturday night where we do expect to see thunderstorms by sunday that rain heads over towards the u.a.e. as well as into oman we could be even seeing some localized flooding across that region we will be watching that very carefully down across the coast though from on we do expect to see. clouds and possibly rain showers force a lot with a temperature of thirty one degrees and then very quickly across it is going to be a nice day for you with a temperature of twenty two degrees in durban partly cloudy to mostly cloudy with a temperature of twenty eight degrees there. sponsor.

understand the russian language move through today on talk to al jazeera how a russian security company and officials after helping moscow establish a firmer foothold in chechnya syria and ukraine are now turning to the african continent joining a geopolitical chess game involving china and the united states who have already established bases in places like djibouti. with exclusive access to one of their military training centers so secret and dangerous that russian journalists were killed here but now it's not the british. parliament. that. this man is attending a beauty contest in the central african republic scapula bank his name is belize

important minerals diamonds and gold another attack the fighting started in two thousand and thirteen when president paul's web was easy a christian was overthrown by mainly muslim selecta rebels. grounds to intervene militarily in december of that year under a un mandate and a few months later a un peacekeeping mission called new scout was established to stop the fighting from turning into a genocide. the french forces pushed from power. but have now left the country shamed by allegations of sexual abuse of the un peacekeepers that faced similar allegations no one has been prosecuted. not only the french have retreated from this part of the continent the americans are reducing troop levels but they have also raised concern about russia and china stepping in and threatening u.s. interests. great power competitors namely china and russia are rapidly

expanding their financial and political influence across the. africa across the continent russia advances its political and economic relationships with little regard to the rule of law or accountable and transparent governance it continues to sell arms and energy in exchange for votes at the united nations votes that keep strong men in power undermine peace and security and run counter to the best interest of the african people. over half a million people are displaced two and a half million are in need of lifesaving aid many are dying of hunger a humanitarian catastrophe is unfolding. the beauty contest is hardly a sign of normalcy. seems

to. us. in the outlands. hope for many in this country now has a name its blood a mere puton. twenty seven years after the fall of the soviet union it is here that of global geo political chess game is taking place involving russia and the west caught in the middle of the people of the central african republic and. russia has tried gaining a foothold in this country before this is benghazi one thousand nine hundred seventy seven. another pageantry from another time wearing a replica of napoleon scarlet cape lined with white ermine and draped in gold and six thousand diamonds. book five years earlier he proclaimed

himself president for life now he's coronating himself the last emperor of africa among the two thousand guests were top officials from the soviet union which was then still in the middle of a waning cold war with the united states and looking for a way to advance its strategic interests. it was difficult the main power on the continent south africa for example was firmly anti communist but with. the russians saw an opening he was willing to lead them in annoying the west and especially the french in the process two years later visiting libya's leader khadafi another man flirting with the russians book was toppled in a french back to military coup that was the end for the russians the soviet union closed its embassy their diplomats went home. and that was over which it was all

done now forty years later on the grounds that once housed because as palace russia has set up operations this is a coincidence you know it's a message to the rest of the world russia is back in africa. the russian special. these are to the president gives al-jazeera exclusive access to the palace grounds to look at what is now a major military base but hundreds of russian fighters described as army reservists trained government soldiers in preparation for a deployment along the country's border so where are we here it's no coincidence that this training is happening. on these grounds and. sometimes if it comes forward again. like i'm totally with but i got all this muck out that he. was out of the engine and shot his wife. just about on the little

nest of the blue you know which of the you know tional i didn't. understand them is just a moment's thought oh tell us about. these former soldiers now there are hundreds of them and there's more coming what are they teaching the soldiers here and i knew which and was opening up a couple of. you are going to be dealing with a special of which i think we're going to get them chase me to self not chicago anybody who had to laugh at us but you know and all credible program with them but i believe most i told him i had them all minute for letting the concept of a couple of course will bring me almost i want to know so from that on you could who are going with what is an emotional but i want it you know given equal distance to. what is referring to is a previous effort by the european union to train these government soldiers who because of e.u. regulations no arms could be shipped to the country so the soldiers receive

training using fake arms. but here there is no shortage of weapons. a small arsenal to prepare young recruits some of them used to fight each other members of rival militia groups but here under russian command they serve under. or the same flag. the trainers are masked they clearly do not want to reveal their identity so who are things. in july two thousand eight hundred three russian journalists tried to find out and were killed after he tried to enter this compound. there were three russian journalists that were here a couple of months ago who who were killed what happened to these journalists. how did you buy. those got out of the car you'll see that he moved on you have been

with all the b.c.s. system that that can model to you saw some dealer eem proceeded to the like us tonight in the cup we're going to produce the separation on your ceremony and it was you know we've heard both that you want baseball pilot additional on the sabbath but he still to discover that my son didn't you know. give it motivation to start with. you know which motherboard to use if you're sick i was twenty eight there is no that is a continual card. about probable. based on several. team yeah i knew what you had to do that you're going to a place in the bahamas or did know you were there that he thinks you're going to go ahead and then i could get them alone you could be in. on a play on. the russian journalists were researching the actions of the private russian military firm wagner's group the sort of russian equivalent of the american military contractor blackwater. wagner's group has played an important part in

russian military maneuvers in syria and ukraine giving the russian government the ability to deny and avoid direct official involvement in controversial operations where good journalists editor believes they were killed because these masked men are in fact work. for the vaknin group and the journalists who were about to make public their identities and activities here the media organization that they work for say that they were there to film russian armaments coming into the country what do you have to say to them. plus the new. to most of the impulse to. stability is another idea that they set us to. to finish the new deal if he. personal problem in place and he's.

going to. go to we are going this narrative. and you have. to. put that in because it was for the video to know which it was and i just i'm. still in it there's a nice to close ritual. where have some of these soldiers practiced their training before have they been in other conflict areas like in syria or in ukraine and what is it that they are bringing to this country. or yeah. they do i just want to live it what they can we have having it the show. is just about on the i.c.u. as you get new when you money was given. that he used it why is it that it is former russian soldiers belonging to to private companies like vaga narrower i think patriot rather than russian soldiers themselves doing this job i knew you were you

and your plantation right here to get the most was from the gold near the means test on board on that site i mean it goes on but on the other she really she had think i could wear unit and he's. with and she will go out to get those could be them walking out of that and that is to me just a lot on. my praktica get when you might stop it was going to get you through why here why the central african republic given that there is a conflict happening here and there are fewer of or. was when i was able to do some got up to go home i would say you think of the war barbie's apartment you buy at the mall but he's young because you'll. have to show nobody's going to. invite asian came from the president post on twitter ha he came to power in elections held in two thousand and sixteen and took charge of a country marred in six tarion violence sanctions by an arms embargo the government's armed forces were in disarray and no match to the fourteen armed

groups operating in the country. in two thousand and seventeen twenty or reached out to russian president putin on the sidelines of a un general assembly meeting asking for help. it was a meeting that stunned many on the security council especially the former colonial rule or france and. even after gaining independence france has exerted influence in the country in fact the french intelligence services had advised the country's presidents for years but changed all that. and today valerie started off is advise in him has a stronger resume having served in conflict zones in north caucasus including chechnya. the french foreign minister has called the presence of russian soldiers in the central african republic we're. saying they are creating instability.

how do you advise the president's what exactly do you help him with. calls from either of them i'd say with someone there is a part of this. from a very most loving it. leaves. also a couple of thousand someone in his office and it would upset me some day what can the russians do that they mean you scan the u.n. cannot do. all. starting with guilt. because he wasn't. given you much of the you know. listen to hoist them on down to bite them in the. last of the budget in which you talk about. and i mean. can we see a situation where. russia intervenes just like it did in syria to try to reestablish the central government's command over the country no

a show is going to court it was issued would you claiming that i say yeah but i did . meet in the middle the beautiful it has been a go it is going to get i'm going to get a hold placed this will talking about it a little bit of my thoughts on these bloody conflicts and you cut out things british as to what they thought i mean you must be premium. tell us a bit give us a sum up our round up of the russian presence here how are you helping the central african republic no dolls with you but i want to know which is a cousin when you thought of the. players if i were a buddhist alone i was but then i think everybody. thought i was a god were going to do in. the form you can get out and i doubt the mckew let me up it'll probably a problem when you really can push the problem. in the middle but for doing it my dear that is on. the p.k. five neighborhood that mr is

a how tough is referring to is this area it's only ten minutes by car from the presidential palace but very unsafe the u.n. peacekeepers are frequently attacked here by rebel fighting for control. of the neighborhood is effectively dominated by this man and the mayor matar jumbos otherwise known as general force he surrounds himself by young heavily armed teenagers he's accused of war crimes including murder torture rape and extortion. the u.n. security forces have tried to arrest him but failed general force sees the arrival of russians with deep suspicion do you trust the government do you trust the current president to bring peace. you can feel the gorilla module will feel super easy on the lead if you're going to if you do please don't know the movement if you see. it's a neutral preserve only to the sound of you get. in

a point in a bit of a we have. to be declared you're going to prison be led to believe. there are several peace talks one led by the africa initiative by the african union and then there are those that have been led more recently by the russians in neighboring sudan what do you make of the russians involvement in central african republic. people or you can earlier move through the cruciate can. produce. let's see the first one put upon the. but i do think i do see your body though you know when your planet is in the. middle. i love presidents as it applies to phones going on to do good to them and. in a rebel held territory called to bring

a region rich in diamonds the russians have set up a hospital they say is an attempt to bring peace and help to the local population we asked the un peacekeepers what they think about the russian involvement the presence of the russian you know this country needs the support of everybody right tree of everybody in terms of member states every single member state is more than welcome to support the country while it comes also with some obligations you know in the open occasion is to be part of the international community and of the partners and to play the game by the name. gunshots inside the parliament after the president of the national assembly is voted out of his position no confidence vote he believes the russians orchestrated the move asking me guess what they're going to make us well we. may

deserve stack i love wanted to. keep every day to simply want to and these are employed don't do need to cause sean o'keefe is a delight to present us in this or that good guy. yes you that. me me because she knows she can expect us you if you don't see it for us yeah neighbor eighty believe the day i dissociate the sun look. less on me last year i got that that's make you believe by disallowing i'm going for a living. back in the jungle so her off denies any of these allegations. on the contrary he says russia is trying to stop the ongoing conflict not exploit resources or cause instability mortals keesha left over to push the ponies to meet a caregiver are members. at the united suddenly the national donation card where do

you think i was going to get and he said we need a list of buildings with. the alternate is a bus mr. and he said the place to go for. would be there by mr don had a machine a canoe and they thought they specialise like almost every. ball probably a pretty young thought you know where you. get him and he'd see it being lost on you i think even he. still not a zealot. there is some truth to the notion that russia is playing a role in peace efforts in fact following months of russian brokered negotiations a peace deal between the fourteen armed groups was signed in sudan in february a possible breakthrough not just for the people of the central african republic but also for russian efforts to play

a political role once again on the continent what was the last time russians were in central african republic. at the most. completely he should. immediately he what he in there was a says because there is additional value in the field release because that is to kill so is russia back in africa i see a lot of australia but he's going to. kill

language from north korea for a while it's new to have a deadline right sort of idea that if this is to have by the end of the year you know who knows what is i mean is i mean or start launching missiles again or are testing nuclear weapons that's kind of new the idea of an ultimatum from doesn't respond to that kind of thing particularly well so i imagine the american administration will simply blow it off but you know they have been meeting now for what you know to a year and a half now eighteen months and not a whole lot is come of it i mean at some point we're going to keep doing these summits got something the debate on north korea we call it the sequencing right sort of who's supposed to stop first and this is undercut negotiations with north korea for a while again if the idea is to have this huge step with north koreans give up everything they're just not going to do that first exchange for big promises that's why you go for smaller steps first where if one side feels that the other cheats it's not such a big loss or you get around the sequencing problem by having each deal be smaller and then grow into it but as long as you insist on sort of these massive all or nothing deals and you race huge trust problems like you just mentioned then you get a stalemate which is where we are now the international criminal court has rejected a request to open an investigation into possible war crimes in afghanistan judge's
