and nobody helped us we use all kinds of materials including shoes in the stove to warm up at children fuel prices have more than doubled in the past 2 months and charities are all but they'll say they're struggling to respond to the crisis how about the well just stumble. meanwhile russia backed by china has vetoed a united nations resolution that would allow cross border a deliveries from turkey and iraq to millions of syrian civilians for another year let's get more on this then from mike hanna at the united nations so why block the renewal of this resolution well both russia and china are supporters of bashar al assad's government and certainly he is intent on cutting down any form of international involvement in syria but the british ambassador also suggested that russia is intent on dumb playing the seriousness of the humanitarian situation within syria particularly in the conflict zones and the u.s.

ambassador described the russian and chinese veto as a cynical political ploy because russia replacing this resolution with one of its own in which it suggested having only 2 crossing points for 6 month period on the turkish border this was in turn vetoed by britain that the u.s. and voted against by 6 other members of the security council so certainly great confusion but of course the impact on the syrian people will be massive that's right because it will deprive millions of syrians in the area who are living outside of assad government control of life saving humanitarian assistance is that time to try and fix this. well the actual term for the opening of these 4 crossing points expires on january the 10th the u.s. ambassador is absolutely intent that the members will be working through this holiday season to try and get some kind of agreement in place but one must remember

though that the initial resolution vetoed by russia and china was a compromise agreement that had been reduced from 5 crossing points to 3 crossing points in a bid to get the russian agreement but that did not succeed so it's very difficult to see how any form of compromise can be forged unless one of the opposing parties backs down on this particular issue and i must mention too that the crossing points agreement has been in force since 2014 this is the 1st time that russia has actually opposed renewing the mandate for another year so very difficult to see how agreement can be forged in what is clearly not only an issue about humanitarian relief but is also a political point to making situation thank you very much with the latest from united nations on that mike hanna well our other top story the chief prosecutor of the international criminal court says she wants to open an investigation into alleged war crimes in the palestinian territories want its jurisdiction has been

established by israelis and palestinians face the possibility of having charges filed against the palestinians and welcome the decision israel's prime minister says the i.c.c. has no jurisdiction to investigate now the abraham reports from ramallah. it's one of the alleged war crimes the international criminal court me investigate the targeted killing of unarmed protesters along gaza's border fence with israel chief prosecutor fatah been sued the says she's satisfied war crimes have been or are being committed in the gaza strip and the west bank including occupied east jerusalem she says because of the complexity of the situation she will ask the i.c.c. to rule on the territories on which it has jurisdiction palestinians welcome what they call a long overdue investigation. will hoping that the i.c.c. will hold those who are committing crimes against our people against our land. the crimes that are climbing that you countable crimes and no more crimes being

committed on the palestinian land which will basically said the stage or ending occupation and thus opening the oracle of the scope but israel's prime minister benjamin netanyahu says the court has no jurisdiction to investigate in the palestinian territories this is a dark day for truth and justice the i.c.c. prosecutor has apparently decided not to dismiss outright the palestinian claim against the state of israel this is a baseless and a religious decision the court has no jurisdiction in this case the i.c.c. only has jurisdiction over petitions submitted by sovereign states but there has never been a pounds to. the court based in the netherlands will only investigate alleged crimes committed after june 2014 when palestine became part of the i.c.c. jurisdiction. in the past 5 years thousands of new legal settlement units were

developed along with the confiscation of palestinian lands and demolition of their homes israel's response isn't unexpected it says the i.c.c. lacks validity over the israeli palestinian conflict since israel is not a member of the courts and palestine is not the states even though the united nation granted palestine the status of nonmember state 7 years ago palestinian leaders say any crimes committed in palestinian territory must fall under the court's jurisdiction and. william shapeless is a professor of international law who wrote the book the international criminal court and nonparty states and last week he was one of the lawyers representing man maher the international court of justice against accusations of genocide he joins us now from paris it took several years 5 years of parliamentary examinations in

order to reach this decision why the delay. well it actually took 10 years for listening 1st filed its application of the court to take on the situation 10 years ago after of operation cast lead after the war and does it in 2009 it's a very difficult situation it's a little to be highly sensitive and it inspires the not only of israel but also of the united states so all of these things that make it complicated the international criminal court is not a court that. in any event was about the only situation that's been sitting there on the back burner for a long time so it doesn't stand out in that respect but certainly there are this is cases highly charged political you know where you are nothing else the reporters they can compete with how difficult would it be to settle the matter of cherry's direction with any office for the attorney general for the state of israel has said

the palestine is felt to meet the necessary precondition of having jurisdiction over its territory because at a sovereign state doesn't actually exist. well the palestine you know way doesn't have to be a sovereign state in the technical sense to be a state party to the rome statute there are technical rules that apply to that time has been deemed not by not by the prosecutor of the court but by the secretary general of the united nations to comply with those conditions and there are only been a few exceptions or objections so that one from the united states one from 'd counsel or mourn from israel so virtually every other country considers that public stoning is a legitimate state party to the rome statute so that's actually not a great difficulty what the prosecutor has decided to do with it so that you know what's there is to ask 3 judges of a pretty crowded chamber to give her a preliminary ruling 'd 'd on whether or not she can exercise jurisdiction over the territory of palestine which is as she puts

a gaza the occupied territory for the west bank and east jerusalem so she's turned pending i don't the judges that make their ruling with 3 judges will hear the evidence and they'll take a decision not just or unfair about that it will 'd be done by independent and impartial judges and we'll see the result hopefully very soon and from the evidence that exists fired from the conclusions that that fatty bensouda has already reached do you envisage that there will be now a full i.c.c. investigation that could lead to charges being brought against individuals that will be that accountability on both sides. yes definitely i think it's i'm a card so i mean we have we have allegations of war crimes and crimes against humanity committed on both 'd sides in different circumstances in different contexts and those will be investigated many of them deal with what we might call the conduct of us still these the battlefield offenses and these these are the ones

that have captured the attention of the world war in gaza in 2014 but they are they are difficult to prove because they often involve competing versions of complicated evidence the one that's really the the has the potential to 'd get everything a bit of interest is prosecution for the war crime of transferring settlers into an occupied territory and that's the one that is 'd explosive because it goes to the heart of israel's occupation of the west bank but it's one that in the way is straightforward to prove that the stablish it's not difficult to the evidence is all there is on the internet it's all public and those who are responsible are using to identify so i think that's really the one that's the that's the that's the pipe bomb waiting to go off in this place all right when i'm shamefast joining us from paris thank you thank you. small stack for you on this news from london

. the wife of united states diplomat accused of causing death by dangerous driving here in the u.k. says that she will not return to the country voluntarily u.k. prosecutors said on friday they will press charges against us and seek extradition she admits driving on the wrong side of the road when a car hit and killed teenage motorcyclist harry done in august that claimed diplomatic immunity and return to the united states all the parliament has voted overwhelmingly in favor of boris johnson's breck's it deal paving the way for the u.k. to leave the e.u. by the end of january freshman resoundingly actual victory johnson took out all the compromises that with air in the fight in the 1st version of the bill a section on protecting workers' rights has been removed and parliament's ability to scrutinise the next stage of talks has also been on the mind paul brennan reports. minister to move 2nd leading prime minister to move 2nd reading.

there is a new mood in the u.k. house of commons the knife edge breck's it votes of the autumn ancient history the tension replaced by political inevitability and in front of the newly expanded ranks of conservative m.p.'s boris johnson was enjoying the moment history will record the 1st act of this new parliament in its earliest days was to break the ice floes and find a new way through a new passage through to unsuspected oceans of opportunity his parliamentary majority means that prime minister boris johnson can now press ahead with his vision of bracks it the new law will prohibit any trade talks extension beyond december 2020 and it weakens parliamentary scrutiny of the executive clause on protecting workers' rights has been removed and a previous commitment to receive unaccompanied child refugees has also been watered down. critics opponents say the changes showed the prime minister can't be trusted for all the promises over the past few weeks that they all go party to protect

rights at work at the very 1st opportunity they removed the basic provisions they said would be part of this bill that does not bode well for freshman emphatic election victory the prime minister has little need to contemplate the critics or placate his opponents but he will have to consider the voters especially those who switched from labor and in his words lent the conservatives their support in the election the simple fact though is that johnson has the numbers with him the eyes of the right 358 the nose to the left $234.00. the bill his bill will become law in january paul brennan on $20.00 westminster. all now poland's parliament has defied a warning from the european union and passed

a law that would see judges punished if they are critical of controversial court reforms that you dish out changes a spark protests in the country with allegations there and shutting down criticism of the government here paying commission has written to polish leaders aligning them to stay within easy laws let's discuss this and more with long bash who is a professor of european law at middlesex university and it would seem as though those warnings from the european union have fallen on death is i'm afraid so they were ignored just a couple of hours after the letter was actually leaked to the press this is not the 1st time the warnings from brussels have been ignored by pushed or it isn't in fact . british authorities have been under supervision or under monitoring from the use since to generate doesn't 16 so this is just the latest escalation of the role of the crisis exactly it's been a long running story that's been going on for several years now how serious a violation of judicial independence is this this is by far the most violation of

the principles of judicial independence we have seen since the crisis began 4 years ago some people including myself are now speaking of a defect to politicize it within the next few weeks so if you have enjoyed talking about briggs it in fact. i think 2020 we're going to talk more and more but to defect to politics it and so that will happen immediately so defacto because essentially poland is going to remain a full member of the u.s not going to trigger the in famous article 50 by a century as far as the judicial branch of poland what we're looking at is the dismantlement of judicial independence in poland and this is simply not compatible remember ship of the e.u. so what does brussels to so the brussels has sued poland already twice has won twice there is a 3rd case pending and there are plenty of new cases also originating from pushcarts we have a total i think of the 15 pending cases before the european court of justice so it's going to get worse i'm afraid restricting freedom of expression of the judges

in the country a crackdown of this nature what does this mean for the countries not simply freedom of speech freedom of association it's also preventing judges from applying e.u. rule of law requirements we have never seen this in the e.u. ever. and demonstrations have been taking place we were seeing images there of ongoing protests are they likely to grow or could we see restrictions on public gatherings i mean quite substantial numbers out have been out in the streets it's difficult to say it's winter this is not the 1st time the police authorities are going after judges i'm afraid they're just trying to wear down people. so i think the crisis is just going to escalate. but i'm not sure a long police judges are going to be able to resist and if we see poll exit as you describe it. poland's exit from from the block. de facto as you describe it how much of a public backlash could we see could it make things worse on the streets i think so

i think for the time being it's mostly abstract for most people they don't quite realize or don't quite understand what's in the pipeline so i think by the end of 2020 we're going to have some so use. repercussions i'm afraid possibly of a financial nature as well for the time being we have had critical discussion that we have had legal actions but no financial sanctions yet and as far as the e.u. is concerned there is a pending bill which might enable the e.u. to suspend access to you funding on one of the grounds so this is to be continued for it thank you very much for middlesex university long pleasure when our former head of france's telecoms company orange is been found guilty of charges of harris meant the latest series of workers' suicides a decade ago didier was convicted for his actions during a restructuring of the company then known as france telecom prosecutors listed 18 suicides and 13 suicide attempts between 20082010 will not go to

how i wouldn't right now are good descriptions of the european weather at least in the west now most of the rain has been in portugal then spain or more recently is falling in southern france and northern italy ahead of that from there but the next one that's following it will bring yet more but the whole lot is moving slowly eastwards so the overnight pictures take you into saturday brings a lot of snow for the outside it's fairly wet and heavy snow this and rain to the south so it's not going to be the silly a good base for the ski trade for example in central vienna reflects this is generally a warm area shouldn't be 10 should be more like plus one all of eastern europe is warmer than it should be and the next band of rains waiting to come in before sunday so between saturday and sunday western windy for western europe as you say not so much spain and portugal and yet more snow to come the rain is still circulating here this is flood potential around the adriatic again it's really switzerland and maybe austria and safina now so that will be paid off into

a technocrat government that consists of independent ministers in order to serve our country in sort out our problems that we all know about diablo's a university professor and former education minister but many especially within the civil protest groups associate him with the corruption and nepotism there's played lebanese politics for decades i can didn't see all sides of the sectarian divide that he can solve the country's deepening crisis is not going to be easy. the charge of the. yes. and the but he made it troubling about all of this that you have to go against the interests of the established parties. according creasing number of lebanese the time for protest is over shops and businesses are closing the economy is on the verge of collapse youth unemployment is at an all time high inflation is soaring and many people are desperate for

a solution. the more we are targeted situation even the corrupt politicians are tired and we need a solution our boys who have to emigrate and leave the country to the politicians of. has a limited time to overcome political divisions and form a government to solve the crisis and quell the anger if he fails further chaos and instability seems certain tony berkeley al jazeera beirut. in chile people are back out in protest in santiago expressing their anger at delays in negotiations and new constitution our last american and it is live for us in santiago why are people demonstrating today. it's a very very fluid situation 1st of all because of the conditions for the new constitution the senate passed an agreement that had been reached with all the political argues that did not include gender party nor did it include reserved

seats for chile's indigenous communities but then the opposition and the more centrist conservative opposition reached an agreement just a few hours ago to actually go ahead with a separate agreement to allow at least for the gender party parity and so a few hours ago the ultra right wing party says that it was suspending its membership of the moving coalition so there you have it in the meantime you have people here who have been protesting now for the last couple of hours they are being kept by riot police from reaching the central plaza of the italy plaza which has been sort of ground 0 for the protests over the last 2 months and there's been a lot of clashes with riot police there just a little bit up the street now using tear gas and water cannon and they're playing basically cabin mouse with these protesters and we're expecting that to continue for hours and hours especially women's groups that are still angry of the about the fact that this senate could not agree on allowing women to have at least 50 percent

of representation in the new congressional a constituent assembly rather which presumably will at some point be organized here when it does fail there is this uncertainty with people can continuing to be unhappy about the inequality in social exclusion but is there a sense it will be progress eventually or is the main the one of frustration. oh i'll apologies for that i'm sure i'll get a chance to check in with me say alan america at a bit later on but ash is describing their protests taking place there in santiago chile had been protests for some time now of inequality and social exclusion in the country and the high cost of health care and education as well but people are continuing to make their presence felt on the streets as there are these delays indications of

a new constitution. here in europe dutch activists actually won a legal battle forcing government leaders to take foster action on climate change climate activists have been celebrating this budget which forces the government to choose emissions to east 25 percent below 91000 and of next year said the government had choosing to protect its citizens from the effects of climate change and evelyn's as one of the biggest pollution in europe spoke to denniston burkle and lawyers at the agenda foundation which brought that case. obviously they have a responsibility but the difference with governments is that since 1902 they have acknowledged that they have a response they have the responsibility over this problem they have a responsibility for all the emissions in their territory since the climate treaty in 1902 they have adopted the responsibility embarrassed again in 2015 to say we are responsible for this problem we need to make sure that these emissions are

going to not lead us to a warming about $1.00 degrees and we have human rights which are the basis of this case that all of the states to do to take these actions. elsewhere germany's parliament has approved a $60000000000.00 plan to tackle climate change often months of negotiations reforms include plans to increase taxes on travel and lower the cost of long distance train journeys to encourage commuters germany is a need to cut its greenhouse gas emissions to 55 percent of its 99000 levels by 2030 it'll be a relief a chance and i'm going to muchel who'd been on the pressure to take action the opposition parties and environmental groups say the measures don't go far enough dominic cain has more from then on how the reforms will affect big business. the train arriving on this platform could soon be a little bit cheaper to travel and that's one of the main effects of the climate

change package here in germany that's just been agreed upon by both houses of parliament so what does it mean it means that passengers on intercity expresses well they'll soon be paying a little bit less but the payoff is that people flying air passengers might soon find that it's slightly more expensive and overall this is part of the german government's attempt to as it were to reduce its carbon emissions to 55 percent of the $990.00 levels it's going to cost almost $60000000000.00 for germany to bring this through the government had hoped it would go through sooner but there had been a bit of a problem because the green party the environmentally friendly party had opposed some of the proposals the government had agreed upon but they decided they did not want to be seen to be getting in the way of a policy which is meant to speed up slowing down climate change and so that's why train journeys such as these will soon get to be a little bit cheaper the other thing here though is that the cost of this well it

may well be borne by big business because polluting businesses enterprises which contribute c o 2 to the atmosphere will find themselves being fined and the green party wanted the fines imposed on businesses to be higher they appear to be getting their way the question will be for the government for the greens for everyone in germany do they accept the sorts of package that this is does it go far enough that is for later on for now at least it means passengers on trains such as these well their journeys will soon be a little bit cheaper. the australian prime minister scott morrison has cut short his holiday in hawaii and publicly apologize as firefighters battle out president bush fires back it comes after 2 volunteer firefighters were killed bringing the total number of deaths to 8 fires have now burned an area 30000 square kilometers jesca washington reports to us from sydney. this is the personal cost of
