pushed india into the grip of a historical reckoning i am afraid because i know all the minorities are. pretty good where do these ideas come from the tragedy of what i'm going to try to send it . to me is going to happy families joining me on the stand in the final part of my journey when i do become a target of the hindu flounced policy in search of india saw an al-jazeera. qatar is calling it a major victory the un's top court ruled that its aviation branch will settle on as phase dispute that has seen caught up prevent in prevented from flying over for our nation's. player watching al-jazeera live from doha with me fully back t.

ball also coming out the u.k. government bans the purchase of new 5 g. equipment from chinese tech giant huawei washington rejects beijing's claims in the south china sea china in turn accuses the us of undermining regional peace and stability. and a mali and man accused of torturing women and destroying ancient monuments in timbuktu goes on trial at the international criminal courts. thank you very much for joining us the international court of justice has ruled in favor of qatar in his dispute with 4 blockading arab states which as seen qatar prevented from flying over the air space the un's aviation branch will now settle the dispute it's been more than 3 years since saudi arabia egypt and bahrain imposed a land sea and advocate on qatar. do you call one of

unity more rejected to the other for all by the kingdom of bahrain they are up above because of egypt the kingdom of saudi arabia and the united. 2 by 15 baltic one. told me that the council of the international civil aviation organization has been doing to day. submitted to you by the government of the state of other wanted to october 27th the and the seed of the occasion you submissively are let's bring in al-jazeera step boston who's outside the course in the hague this was an unprecedented situation for the international court of justice said step a very complicated case it was deciding on to appeal cases involving cotton its neighbors and is ruled in favor of the country's. yeah it's an

important complicated but also binding fertig here in the hague the president of the court basically dealt with 2 cases at the same time filed by qatar at the council in 2017 basically dealing with very old international agreements on the freedom of every ation signed in 1044 by most countries here and also the countries involved in this dispute had all signed these agreements to make it more simple the president decided that the i.k.o. council which the 4 countries who were against qatar and having to locate that they basically their appeal was rejected did not do a great job but that what they did was correct so basically i k o has done the job correctly and can deal with the case from now on also the 4

countries had said that should have negotiated more before taking the case to well the president of the court also said that qatar did its up to negotiate and have a diplomatic settlement before taking the case to the i.k.o. council basically to until the last minute qatar made sure that they will still open for negotiations but as the president said there was a clear on willingness by the other countries to accept these negotiations so it's a very clear for addict from this side and it's binding but still there's a lot of questions of course how the states or if the states will comply with this ruling soon after the president was finished reading the verdict we could see the representatives of saudi arabia in egypt and you a leaving this court to which we called the freedom palace here in the hague thank you for that 7th and eye for us outside the international court of justice let's bring in hashem had baron now who's here in doha for as hashem. for the catteries

this is a major victory today indeed and they say this is a pivotal moment for them because with the ruling today from the international court of justice they will be able to go forward to go to the international civil aviation authority and say you have to consider the war kade illegal and you have to take action they do understand that this is going to be a protracted legal battle but they are confident that now they have more legal arsenal to move forward they might go to the united nations general assembly and say basically with all this momentum building in our favor it's about time to bring back the political situation in the region before june the 5th 2017 when the blockade was imposed they basically are pushing forward and they do see a pattern there which is basically there is more pressure now being built on the blockade in countries about the need to the political crisis i think they have been

testing water in the past and they do understand that the general sentiment among the united nations civil aviation authority is the the the embargo was completely wrong was completely arbitrary it with each other is the very idea of open skies and the very spirit of the chicago convention of 1944 and therefore i think they are confident that they will be putting more pressure on the blockade in countries they will be asking for all the vistas to be offered to them including compare and this is going to put further strains of the blockade in countries thank you for that hashem i have our ally for a sindo harlots net now get the views of our senior political analyst marwan bashara as hashem said there marwan also this is a political dispute we've seen you know the legal decision being made at the hague but at the end of the day this is a political and diplomatic dispute between qatar and its neighbors where do things

stand today as far as efforts to resolve this crisis. well you know 40 judging from this very particular case today clearly what the u.a.e. and saudi arabia is doing is basically wasted by trying in. any possible way to undermine international diplomacy american diplomacy and regional diplomacy spearheaded by kuwait because they just find if the difficult to admit their loss to their feet and to their mistake if you were there fairly or with qatar and since and once they they are. you know resorting to the kind of gimmicks that we see i mean call me naive but i thought you know. i could it would be a swiss civil aviation you know who would bill's with health and. you know that you know mass council is with the human rights and w.h.o. study and. gives one trait really simple and the supernovae ation you know rule on

the porch in one gulp and space but riyad up with abby and my mom and so on are worse than time and they're just trying their best in order to space but the problem is big keep losing face one month when you're after another since this thing started in the plaza 17 you would have hopes last week when the company mr sharon insisted that they'd meet you know over some kind of web cam of some sort that the u.a.e. still reject that. american request why is that marwan why is it that it seems as if that is the u.a.e. that's more adamant about keeping this bill kate and keeping this crisis going rather than the saudis i mean that's what some of the reports that suggest said they say u.a.e. that ins is in fact blocking efforts to end this. no

48. in international relations there's this over use of the term chess politics right but there were things up who works or thought into some kind of a chess game where people or or opponents you know have these things figured out in advance of theirs but it's particular that it's also or unfortunately in this case chess doesn't help us understand the moves by the different parties by what we i would suggest a different missile to understand what's going on and because i would even say to understand what's going on in today's world which is poker because there's not really a science of movement this is of i think tension it's about psychology it's about insecurity it's about you know trying to clean up your opponent as it were and i think here the metaphor of poker really i was just understand where perhaps they you he is coming from it's trying to because i it is trying to corner it's

trying to sort out that has a lot of cards in the game but you know slowly but surely it's becoming clear that it is just deceiving that they are embracing perception hoping to to run to run the clock as it were because for the last 3 years they've tried every possible gimmick in the book and and good thing and qatar has not only overcome the blockades in fact it is it has cost more economically it's the well it's certainly been better even doing that and even in 200-100-2020 than it was blockade in the us it continues to have some pluses and not a lot of many locals and it's certainly as having you know regional relations what it is where there are clear on and and certainly if i thought relations in the united states that day and so on so forth so it is just being difficult for riyad

than i would bobbie mitts and just to get on with the program and save. the last regional unity called the gulf cooperation council to move forward as a win win for everybody instead of insisting that. you either needs to win. and thank you as always very good to hear insight on this my own bashar is our senior political analyst let's take you back to the hague once again at the international court of justice which if you're just joining us has ruled today that the u.n. aviation body does have jurisdiction in deciding over a case that qatar brought to it that argued that. the iraqis and bahrain had violated the rules by blocking their airspace to qatar let's bring in step boss and once again

who is at the hague for us you were telling us about how this was a binding decision today a question now is whether i calle will be able to enforce its treaties. exactly this is a binding this asian but this is no appeal but normally the states comply but of course there's all kinds of possibilities to put not a row off restrictions on the. air traffic between the countries i'm joined now by a professor in international law william warsaw is based here in the hague and it's a it was a very clear ruling right maybe more clear than we had expected initially indeed i mean unanimous and then on one of the other decisions 15 to one and one of course was the judge was nominated by the by the other side so really a conclusive victory in favor of cutter and upholding the council's decision from

the international civil aviation organization and as we said it's binding by the dust this means that the states will comply it is binding indeed this means that the decision by the council is affirmed now the council's decision. is not going to be binding that's a really key thing because qatar in their initial request said please urge that was the word that the president emphasized please urge the other side to lift their blockade so when this goes back that's probably what the council will do so it is still no no end in sight of the blockade then i would say that there is an end in sight but international justice moves slowly unfortunately and frustrating sometimes but what i would imagine would happen now was it would go back to the council the council will now move to the merits of the case the heart of the matter but as we see the council moves rather quickly several months of arguments and then a quick decision that's what i would expect the president had made some critical points about the work of the council right there was

a bit of sloppiness in there in the proceedings well i think that every international body is a little bit respectful of each one so they won't necessarily come out and criticize another one but i think that it was hinted in the decision that that indeed the council may not be. to have the best procedure possible but at the end of the day they got the decision right and that's really what was important for the court here today yes this is also a lesson for the i.k.o. consul to do it and work probably more properly in the future it could be a lesson for them in $172.00 they did basically the same thing and the court said the same thing then they've said it again today we'll see if the council changes their procedures yeah but there's no protection when this implicate can finally be lifted now right as of yet unfortunately no i mean oftentimes as we can see now the council is a quick decision but it took then a year to go through this court if indeed the council rules against cancer. paper the other side that may come back to this court again for another year but

the final step could also still be to go to the u.n. security council and would that help you think well the u.n. security council is always a sort of last resort right if yours is not satisfied at every different level you can always go there but what i would say is that has never happened in the history of the international court of justice so states basically always comply so this is a very positive ruling for qatar indeed more clear than we might have expected or indeed a. very clear very definitive very positive result that got serious thank you very much for joining us so still not and inside but of course as we said it's a positive ruling and a very clear ruling that doesn't make any room for any doubts left here in this case so i'm going to be go back to you know thank you very much for your coverage 7 for us at the hague it's 1415 g.m.t. oh watching al-jazeera live from doha let's turn our attention to other world news

now and the u.k. has banned the purchase of new 5 g. equipment from chinese telecoms giant while way from december 31st way has called the decision disappointing and politicized prime minister voice johnson has been under pressure from within his own party and the united states where says the company is a security risk and has more from london. well this is a major change in direction for britain because in january the prime minister boris johnson said that although huawei was a high risk vendor would be allowed to take a 35 percent stake in the country's 5 g. network but just the periphery since then there's been a lot of political lobbying from the american government also from members of parliament belonging to boris johnson's own conservative party worried about chinese human rights issues but also there have been new american sanctions and britain's digital minister announcing the new step stressed that it was those sanctions affecting american microchips which have been using huawei kit which make

all the difference in the u.k. can no longer be confident it will be able to guarantee the security of future 5 to one way 5 to equipment affected by the change in us foreign direct product rules the best way to secure our networks is for operators to stop using new affected one way to prevent to build the u.k.'s future 5 g. networks said to be clear from the end of this year telecoms operators must not by any 5 equipment from while away and once the telecom security bill is passed it will be illegal for them to do so with this new deadline for mobile phone companies to take out all hallway 5 g. equipment by 2027 is good news for them they were worried that if they had to do that more quickly that could create outages they're already saying that the changes are going to cost them hundreds of millions of dollars if not billions of dollars

it might not be good news for those dozens of rebel conservative politicians who could still try to derail forthcoming legislation on british telecommunications the huawei itself has reacted by saying that it's bad news for anyone in the u.k. with a mobile phone saying that it will deepen the digital divide. in suggesting that this is all to do with american politics well on the political front it could lead to other countries particularly around europe looking at britain and perhaps following suit getting tougher on huawei along the lines of what the us and canada and australia have already done. china is accusing the united states of trying to stir up trouble in the south china sea bass after secretary of state mike on bail said beijing's claim to the region are completely an awful china claims nearly the entire area but that's disputed by several other southeast asian countries when he has a report from bangkok. in several areas of the south china sea islands assholes and

reefs have been transformed china claims almost the entire area and for years has been militarizing the islands constructing remote outposts taiwan also claims parts of the south china sea along with several southeast asian countries including vietnam which is mounted the strongest challenge to beijing last month a vietnamese prime minister opened the latest southeast asian leaders summit with a strong statement on the issue without mentioning china. while the entire world is mobilizing its full force to fight against the pandemic responsible and violations of international laws are still taking place affecting the environment of security and stability in several regions including ours the statement from u.s. secretary of state mike pompei o came a year after the permanent court of arbitration in the hague ruled that china's claims were invalid the case was taken by the philippines but the verdict did nothing to slow china's assertiveness tensions between china and the united states

have been increasing over trade coronavirus taiwan hong kong and now the south china sea. the us statement neglects the history and facts about the issues about the south china sea it breaches the u.s. government's open commitment to not take any position on the sovereignty of the south china sea it violates an distorts international law it is stirring up territorial disputes in the south china sea which is very irresponsible. in recent weeks both militaries conducted exercises in the area with the us saying repeatedly it wants to ensure freedom of navigation beijing suspects otherwise. not only is there strategic value in the south china sea but it's one of the world's busiest shipping lanes and is believed to hold large exploitable natural resources china has continued to develop parts of the region largely unopposed militarily while the u.s. statement doesn't necessarily signal a change in that regard it does signal

a stronger stance against beijing and will increase tension during these unstable times when hey al jazeera bangkok. a man accused of torturing women and destroying ancient monuments in mali too is standing trial at the international criminal court in the hague. abdel aziz is charged with war crimes and crimes against humanity nicholas honk reports. in the city of timbuktu. forces call on crowds to witness the killing of a man this footage secretly shot by al-jazeera in 2012 has never been broadcast the man in the green turban is a former villager veterinarian turned a leading figure of the religious police during the occupation of northern mali by an al qaeda affiliate. this man was along for stealing food from a shop this woman without any explanation on the orders of. he's
