warn it's probably too soon and glowing in the dark the giants numinous shocks discovered off new zealand that could help scientists on a knock more about life in the deep sea. i'm gemma nash with the sports the tiger lympics toss in less than 5 months and reports in japan say the government is planning to stop international fans coming to watch the games in an effort to prevent the spread of carette a virus. the international criminal court has opened an investigation into suspected war crimes and crimes against humanity committed by israel in the occupied palestinian territory honest unions who joined the i.c.c. in 2015 have asked the court to look into israeli military actions in the gaza strip in 2014 and they also want the court to investigate. it israel's construction

of the legal settlements in the occupied west bank and east jerusalem the i.c.c. says it will also look into the actions of gas a base hamas and other palestinian groups during the conflict panasonic's foreign ministry has welcomed the investigation in a statement it said this is a long awaited step that serves spanish signs tireless pursuit of justice and accountability which are indispensable pillars of the peace the palestinian people seek and deserve. neither abraham in ramallah with more on the palestinian reaction wide welcoming remarks from many palestinian officials and n.g.o.s that have been working with the palestinian authority on advancing this issue in the international criminal court this is the main point that palestinians were hoping to get to since the palestinians have joined this line of the rome statute in 2015 and some even say that this is the reason why the palestinian authority has seek its diplomatic

and international approach at the u.n. security council with the hopes to get a full membership of course this didn't happen they got a nonmember states that the us via the general assembly would have allowed them to go forward and join their own statute and ask the i.c.c. to investigate crimes now one of the main issues that the palestinians hope that the i.c.c. would investigate is the illegal israeli settlement on the ground they hope that the prosecutor would look into this as the main violation of international law and they believe that this has been a policy by israeli authorities it's not just a war crime here or that they believe that the foreign minister has released the statement they say that this has been continuing and if these were crimes are ongoing which is why they want the i.c.c. to investigate and conclude its investigation urgently want to get the view now from israel and speak to harry falsettos in west jerusalem for as

harry this is a move that was always opposed by israel what are they saying now. well yes there's been very widespread condemnation from most of israel's political leadership 1st among them the prime minister benjamin netanyahu called the decision absurd and anti semitic and hypocritical he argued that israeli soldiers were moral and brave in their fight against what he called the worst terrorists in the world to deliberately target civilians and that they instead of being cast as terrorists themselves he also to pick up on the dollars point the talked about the building of jewish homes in what he called jerusalem israel that the jewish people's ancient capital and so that should not be considered a crime as for the rest of the senior political country here in israel we've heard very similar language the president rivlin called it scandalous the foreign

minister gabi ashkenazi said it was morally bankrupt and legally flawed. whose main right wing challenger good ansari we should remember that israel is going to the polls again later this month he said that the court had been hijacked by terrorist supporters and the defense minister benny gantz he was speaking about this on tuesday before this decision came in and he noted the fact that this is an investigation that will target individuals not an entire state and so he talked about the fact that he himself as then head of the army in 2014 when there was the conflict in gaza that he could be targeted that he would try to do everything it could to protect hundreds of israeli soldiers from being targeted as well so we round criticism of this from most parts of israeli political leadership there were some support from the israeli human rights group b'tselem which of this was a necessary step to address what it called crimes that have been committed for decades and was still being committed thank you for that harry fawcett's life or i

sat in west jerusalem let's discuss this further now with my. political analyst schools live here in doha on this is edition a decision that's taken a long time it's taken a long time to get here with israel saying that it will not cooperate with the i.c.c. what can this investigation realistically achieve. well it's already achieved a lot by the way even before the actual investigation started because one it made clear that there is an issue of accountability and there is nothing more important in international law and international relations that accountability especially when there is a war that took place when there was destruction but there were us. innocent casualties on saw support so accountability is important for the accountability is not until some at this i mean israel itself has had investigated many of its own

actions during wartime for many years so the fact that the i.c.c. is doing that the certainly not and this summit is and it's accountability but the other more important issue that has already taken us is the fact that the i.c.c. it occurred nice's like the i.c.j. like the international court of justice before it when it also made its verdict on the wall on the illegal war the occupied territories is that the thinks international law is a pic about the 4th geneva convention is a look of all that that in fact all of the territories occupied the $96.00 or 7 are within its area of interest a geisha and that's why the prosecutor of the i.c.c. already made clear that this includes gaza the west bank and is jerusalem and you can imagine this is so important for the palestinians when it would of course not the likes of the trump a message in order to try to pass over the issue of is jerusalem being occupied

right now we have this sort of mission by an important a national forum the investigation will also look at palestinian factions and the role they played palestinian factions including hamas and this is coming at a time where they have been trying to show a united front to be united it's how might this influenced the palestinian political process. well in terms of how much as i think that's going to be an issue for them i mean you know me there might be celebrate that but this is going to be an issue now it's probably much more difficult when dealing with how much than when dealing with because when there's or there's a very clear hierarchy and we know which office should which general which politician to which decision and that could be investigated it isn't of course allows us the place in the 1st place with hemis much more difficult it's a secretive organization especially its military arm and so on so forth but. to your question this is going to take a long long time for anything to actually come about if if at all and hence i think

the political process that the policy views are engaged in today which is indispensable both for their own unity for their own sanity and in terms of what next period is going to happen with israel where that is resistance or a peaceful deal with the israeli government it's very important for how mustn't fight the hand of those 2 unite right so i don't think this is going to have a lot of impact on the political process and palestine but it might have one on israel as you say this is going to take some time a long time in fact and it's about investigating war crimes is not about determining the other issues in this conflict issues like statehood for instance so how will it help palestinians in the long run. i think i think what i just mentioned to you about the recognition by an important

institution like the i.c.c. and i see that all of the there at the resort you're part of there might be 6 or 7 remain occupied and i think discourse of the palestinian point that if by the stimulus state which is the ultimate solution for the problem for the p.l.o. to happen on the west bank and gaza the internationally recognized border with israel and so i think in that sense this is important but we thank you very much for that marwan bashar is a senior political analysts on to other world news now and myanmar has seen its worst day of violence insists the military coup in february the un has just announced that 38 people were killed during protests on wednesday police backed by soldiers fired live ammunition in an attempt to break up demonstrations in a number of cities protesters are defying an increasingly violent crackdown to demand an end to the military takeover.

new tactics and new equipment for the protesters as the crackdown from myanmar security forces escalates. but despite this wednesday's protest again turned deadly with live ammunition being used along with rubber bullets and stun grenades the protesters now wear helmets use homemade shields and even create smoke screens themselves to hide from snipers and gunmen. but when the smoke clears the protest barriers their line of defense are gone. in mandalay a regular scene for gatherings during the month of protests they have also increased their protection against the police and military but even with the added measures there's little they can do against live rounds. and in the southern city of da way the red flag of on song and all the party was hoisted images of the military leader men on lie pasted on the ground. as the protests continued on wednesday also present when men will face 2 additional charges his lawyer

describing what it could mean she'll be bunnies with imprisonment oh i the description for a time which me extended 3 years is a with far i always believe. some feel that the charges against women and young songs hoochie are trumped up possibly to prevent them from ever returning to politics despite women being detained since one degree you don't know doesn't exist was lawyers and his lawyers haven't even received a copy of the child to see the case file so these are fundamental trouble right. on top of everything else so as the protesters continue their stand against the coup on the streets across myanmar their elected leaders are facing their own battle in a judicial system that appears to be working against them scott hodler al-jazeera has bringing on different attic editor james faisal's live at the united nations james what have been the reaction at the u.n. today to these developments in myanmar. in the last hour we've been hearing

from the u.n. envoy for man mark christine shauna berger and she has been explaining her view of the current situation it's a very depressing picture right now as she believes that the international community needs to send a clear signal and she was speaking to reporters just 2 days before the next meeting of the u.n. security council which is now being called for friday and she'll brief the security council behind closed doors and it's clear from what she told us reporters that she's going to tell tell them she's getting increasingly concerned about the situation after today's violence gave pasta blobby a state thinks dooku happened on the 1st of february. we had 2 gay only to date. we have come out morgan or 50 people that it seems to started and many are $100.00.

well she also told us what she'd been hearing from the military now she hasn't spoken to them since the 15th of february but still insight from international fiction officials actually spoken to the generals who are running the country right now and she's spoken to the deputy commander lost on the 15th of february she said that she told the military that there was likely to be tougher international action probably sanctions they replied that they were used to sanctions and they disavow them in the past she warned the military that their country was going to be isolated and the deputy commander said we will have to learn to march with only a few friends in the future she was also asked during this news conference why is she thought the military decided to choose this moment to seize power in a coup on the 1st of february and she said it may be because the commander in chief

is due to retire this summer and wanted some sort of protection against any for future prosecution in the courts in myanmar or even in the international criminal court but she said the main issue in her view was that the military had been used to having the power and didn't want to lose power james thank you very much for that jane spays is a diplomatic editor. there's lots more ahead on this news hour including brazil recordists highest covered $1000.00 death toll but regional leaders calling for a long down are again being countered by president both so narrow challenging times for the u.k. the man in charge of the economy lays out his budget during the worst financial downturn in centuries and china's government hits back against calls to boycott next year's winter olympics in beijing jemma have the details in sports.

the coronavirus pandemic 1st said the u.s. states of texas and mississippi are rolling back restrictions against gold at 19 this fight a warning not to do so businesses are due to reopen and a mask mandate will end from tuesday texas governor greg abbott says infections are falling and it's now time to reopen texas 100 percent i'm issuing a new executive order that receive most of the earlier executive orders affective next whims. all business. of any type. are allowed to open 100 percent then include any type of entity in texas also i'm enduring the state wide mask mandate thanks but there's less confidence in brazil after the highest

a day death toll since the pandemic began nearly 1700 people died on tuesday and hospitals are struggling to cope with the rising case note in the netherlands meanwhile there's growing anger at long downs there's been protests for several weeks now against the curbs on the economy and there's been an explosion at a testing center we'll have more on that in just a few minutes let's get more on the situation in the u.s. and speak to kimberly hellcat white house correspondent so can we the white house pushing back against this decision by texas tell us more you know the white house press secretary jens psaki was asked about this lifting of the mask mandate in texas and also in mississippi and she reminded reporters that joe biden campaigned on and promised to end when he came into office requested that americans wear masks for 100 days we are still inside that window and the reason she said that he did this is because in her words we've seen the cost of political leaders ignoring the

science a reference to donald trump and his reluctance to recommend that americans where mass now the problem is for the federal government their recommendations is there just that the states have very strong rights in this country and so it's an individual choice whether or not to follow the federal guidance something that this white house says could cost lives. i think we have to see it is even very clear that now is not the time to release all restriction i do think that as i said i arrived the next month or 2 is really at all in terms of how this endemic goes as we scale vaccination we really do need to raise the amount of virus that is circulating i'm as we're trying to vaccinate all the public and keep really some good news when it comes to the vaccine rollout and a very optimistic timeline from president biden who says all adult americans will be vaccinated by the end of may is that realistic they'll. well that's what many

are worried about a wringing their hands about whether or not this timeline is too ambitious because it's about 8 weeks earlier than and michelin predicted but given the fact that there has been an additional vaccine approved we've got 2 drug companies working together now johnson and johnson and merck to get additional vaccine supply out to the american public the white house is confident that they can make this deadline now having said that when you put out those numbers you're held to account and so this is going to be challenging for this white house now it's made this this date very public now one of the other promises that this white house has made is to provide covert relief and that is still something that is being mired in the legislative process on capitol hill but this white house is optimistic on that deadline as well in terms of at least accomplishing that $1.00 trillion dollar goal getting checks direct payments to americans for the economic relief they're looking for in fact so much so that the white house says that they're going to postpone the

state of the union address by joe biden until after that legislation is science so some admissions targets but this white house confident it can meet it thank you kimberly for that company how catches on white house correspondent i saw bring in dr ammash. who is a senior scholar with the john hopkins center for health security he's mine from pittsburgh pennsylvania dr i thank you very much for being with us is on chester probably can say psych texas but also california and michigan which have democratic governors who have been new psni not these covert 1000 restrictions is is a good idea is a us in a position today where you can be opening up. i think it depends upon the statement depends upon what restrictions are being loose and i think when you have hospital capacity not being a concern anymore because so many of our nursing home patients have been vaccinated the numbers in the i.c.u. a fall and i think you have flexibility to start to open things up and to allow social interaction what i think is key though is to make sure that you still have

people wearing masks as much as possible because we still don't have enough people vaccinated we still have too many cases to be able to go freely about without masks and not have consequences so i think these are 2 separate issues the mask mandate issue versus the capacity issue and certainly texas going from 75 to 100 percent is not that not that big of a deal in my mind because their hospital capacity looks ok and we've seen similar things in michigan and california pennsylvania and this is going to be the trend so i think we as public health officials have to really start to talk about how to reduce harm and start sort of move away from this abstinence only approach where we know that governors are going to be opening states anyway whether people like it or not in them just really tying into hospital capacities so the masks are the biggest issue here and the decision to lift the mandate in your view 3 to 4 months from now dr could we see another wave and more. cases out as restrictions are being lifted even though the vaccine the lab seems to be working and going well could we

see another way for. 3 to 4 months from now i suspect most americans will have been vaccinated by then or have access to vaccines so i think we'll be in a very different world what we're trying to worry about now is the short term if we see an upsurge in cases now as we are putting out this vaccine i do think that our vaccine supply chain is getting better we've just added the johnson and johnson vaccine to our mix and there are indications that we should be able to get more people vaccinated by may and i think that's going to be important and it's also the point that vaccinating vulnerable populations nursing home populations community dwelling high risk individuals is going to change the risk perception of this disease because we're going to remove its ability to kill the hospitalized people and to threaten hospital capacity and that's the whole goal is to tame this virus it's not going to go to 0 it's going to become much more manageable right what about the very end says a lot of concern about the different variants of covert 19 what are your thoughts on this and do you think the vaccines that are already out there will be able to deal with this. so the variants i think do make it

a little bit more difficult to exactly predict the trajectory and we know that we have variant spreading in the united states and in multiple states but we do know that the vaccine is the solution because the vaccines although they may not be able to prevent all symptomatic infections when it comes to the brazilian or the south african variant they clearly are able to stop what counts serious disease hospitalization and death so the best way to combat these variants and make them a non issue is to accelerate vaccination programs and get more vaccine into people's arms because then we will not will have a different disease i think then you've got a much more tame coronavirus one it's more like the corona virus is that caused 25 percent of our common cold you've got to remove the ability of this virus to cause severe disease and that's through the vaccine thank you so much for talking to us dr amen. from the john hopkins center for health security thank you for your time. thank you. brazil there calls for a national lockdown after the country recorded its highest number of deaths from

cover 19 in a single day but president also narrow opposes further restrictions when i am not here for reports from rio de janeiro. a battle of wills in the midst of tragedy one that has killed more than a quarter of a 1000000 brazilians in a year the 2nd highest death toll in the world local authorities shut down brazil's capital city brasilia to save the health system from total collapse more than 90 percent of intensive care beds are occupied and kovan $1000.00 infections are on the rise was. the emergency lockdown was met with anger by some who took to the streets shouting we want to work and president. took their sign he threatened to punish governors and mayors who are pushing for lockdowns in curfews by cutting off federal assistance was you know millions you know there are

walls where this from now on the governor who closes his state who destroys jobs will be the one who pays for the emergency aid. but he offered no solution to the health crisis the worst since the beginning of the pandemic 20 out of brazil's $27.00 state capitals have run out of beds in their intensive care units and an estimated 70 brazilians are dying every hour from covert 19 meanwhile vaccines are slow in coming in only 3 percent of the population has been inoculated so far. if we do not stop the outbreak will face a total collapse of the house system we can increase the number of intensive care beds all we want but if the number of infections continues to grow they'll never be enough the only solution is a 14 day nationwide lockdown like other countries have imposed with success but here we face a lack of leadership and total denial several brazilian states and the capital

brasilia have been posed restrictions to fight the 2nd wave of the pandemic but here are wary of the janeiro life continues pretty much as usual people are making the most of their summer staying on the big as you can see until nightfall. but fears of a 2nd wave and the total lack of unity in fighting the pandemic are affecting business cattle fury says he rarely leaves the house but has decided to enjoy one last night out he's sure things will get much worse before they get better monica unite give al-jazeera rio de janeiro. and still ahead on the news hour u.s. capitol hill police step up security after being given intelligence it could be a time again we'll be live from washington in just a moment germany's far right opposition bodies reportedly being put under state surveillance and tennis says world's number 3 loses his cool on the court that's

welcome back a recap of our top stories on al-jazeera this hour the international criminal court has opened an investigation into suspected war crimes and crimes against humanity committed by israel in the occupied palestinian territory in 2014 it says it will also look into the actions of gaza based hamas and other palestinian groups during the conflict. man marras seen its worst day of violence since the start of the military coup in february the u.n. has announced that 13 people were killed during protests on wednesday security forces fired live ammunition in an attempt to break up demonstrations that took place in several cities and the u.s. state of texas and mississippi are rolling back coronavirus restrictions despite a warning not to do so texas governor greg abbott says infections are falling and it's our time to reopen texas 100 percent. now britain's chancellor rhee she has

braced to do whatever it takes to recover britain's spawn demick hate economy he set out a raft of new measures including tax hikes in his budget address but his challenge is turning around the country's biggest downturn in century rory chalons reports from london. the funny thing is you think you can in your diet and your throwing up at me have not yet come up once. you finally britain's economy had as much bounce to it as one of 6 peers loaves the baker has gone from bread making in her kitchen to start up on a north london high street right in the midst of the u.k.'s worst economic contraction for 300 years economists give us right now because it is a risk full stop there is no choice but to go ahead and and do and so you may as well put all the effort and all your money into this and make it flowers so you

sort of treated us as a much bigger project than it may have been if it hadn't been. she wasn't impressed with state assistance helping new businesses rise the u.k.'s chancellor to prove he can do better. but next priority this past year hasn't been creating new jobs it's been protecting millions of existing ones while covert has locked down much of the economy and in his 2021 budgets he's announced the government will carry on paying the wages of workers until september they will continue to receive 80 percent of their salary for hours not work until the scheme ends as businesses reopen we will ask them to contribute alongside the taxpayer to the cost of paying their employees. the government has already pumped $390000000000.00 of pandemic spending into the economy public debt is close to 100 percent of national income for the 1st time since the early sixty's cash to continue this largess whilst also giving some

sort of indication of how eventually it's going to be paid back in 2023 the rate of corporation tax. on company profits will increase to 25 percent even after this change the united kingdom will still have the lowest corporation tax rate in the g 7 the chancellor is attempting the difficult task of appearing both generous and economically responsible is also fighting on 2 fronts it's not just there are the difficulties of brecht's it too many import export reliant companies are having big problems with that add into this mix the urge not to let a good crisis go to waste. there's opportunity for a wholesale restructuring of the economy should the government choose to take it and the problem we've had with the pandemic is all of the government support to business has been about supporting business as it was and as it is rather than as

it should be so what needs to happen as we're moving from the ear from the pandemic into the process of recovery government support business needs to be more about nudging alterations in behavior towards a new form of a colony which beauty carbonized economy. did say green bombs would be issued this summer for environmentally friendly projects infrastructure funding to level up the u.k.'s regions sharing investments in affluence beyond the sourdough hungry middle classes of london this is a long game though and the proof sophia might say will be in the pudding challenge al-jazeera london well i speak to duncan walden about this he's the britain economics correspondent at the economist and is via skype from london thank you very much for being with us so 1st of all what did you think was the headline news from this budget that was presented today. hello i actually the headline news was the really big give away from the chancellor this year and next year so it will

lead up to this budget the talk is all being about the chancellor leveling with the british people talking about hard choices to make talking about big tax rises what we actually what we actually got today was a big call to new action of support to see the economy 3 ring to recovery this year and next but isn't it a bit too early to try to to be trying to recover the economy while the pandemic is still raging. yes yes i think that that's completely fair and you know what britain is set out now and it's we're calling our coronavirus road map is we've had very fast progress faster than many people expected on vaccinating the public but the lifting of restrictions the ending of social distancing is going to be very slow it's not going to be until the end of june before many of those restrictions or go of what we saw in the budget today was economic support being recalibrated so keep people going until we get that reopening there's

a lot of talk about the pandemic of course but there's also bracks it i'll be able to say what we'll have a bigger impact on the u.k. economy is it breaks it or is it that the pandemic. at a very good question i think bracks i'm afraid it's still too early to say quite how lasting damage will be in the documents from the government's forecasters today the official forecast as they reiterated their view that although britain now has a free trade deal with the european union it will mean more friction and trade less exports to europe it will be harder to import stuff from the european union and over the course of 10 or 50 years best something like a 3 or 4 percentage point it to the economy now interestingly the government's forecast has said today that currently think the long term hate to the economy from this pandemic will be about 3 percent of g.d.p. so actually in the same sort of order of magnitude the chancellor has had high

popularity ratings in the polls over the past year but the leader of the opposition in britain care stammers did not hold back in his criticism on so not economic decisions throughout the 1st year of the spawn demi do you think that's fair criticism or is this party politics. i mean there's always a bit of political attacks around the budget you know many of the criticisms of the labor party level that riches in acrobat his handling of the economy last year or many were it's fair if we look back at the summer and the autumn rich you see that was one member of the one member of the governor's cabinet who was arguing to reopen the economy last summer you know they were saying. the priority has to be protecting the economy but what we've learned is this supposed trade off between the economy and health is in many words false trade off we reopened our economy to see in the virus spread again we had to close down the economy hard and did a lot of economic damage but frankly the government seemed to luncheon makes there

in you know as i was saying the path to reopening this time around is much more cautious thank you for talking to us about the sink you for your insights duncan well then from the economist joining us from london by the u.s. capitol police say it's obtained intelligence of a possible plot to breach the capitol by an unidentified militia group on thursday security has been stepped up let's bring in our own fishel is on capitol hill for us so allan what were you hearing about this new threat to the capitol building. well this is chatter this is chatter that's been picked up on the internet and certainly there is no one here wants to get caught out the way they did on january the 6th when the lead has been put out including to members of congress that there is no increased security at all around the capitol complex of course since january the 6th we've seen kilometers of fences with razor wire on top of it national guard troops on standby at many of the corners of the complex here as well backing up

several police services this all comes as the senators hear evidence about what happened what went wrong on january the 6th that had 4000000 workers who is the head of the national guard here in washington d.c. he has been telling senators that he got a frantic call from the head of police here on capitol hill in january 6 saying we need as many people as you can send please can you do something because we're being overrun the capital has been breached so william walker made the call to the pentagon but it was more than 3 hours until that permission and that had to come from the secretary of state from defense before that permission was given to the national guard and they could start putting troops on the ground here to back up the police so he's been very critical in a very measured way about what happened on january the 6th but certainly there's a wadi that the intelligence was ignored on january the 6th that they didn't respond to many of the things that were said on the internet and they don't want to get caught out a 2nd time they don't think there's the possibility that any groups about to head

to washington d.c. but no one wants to take that chance and why is march 4th getting people riled up. that this is all a conspiracy websites that we have seen it goes back believe it or not to the $170.00 is one of those who support some of these conspiracies believe that the united states stopped to being a government but became a corporation and therefore they see that no president since then has been a legitimate president however they believe that on march the 4th which used to be inauguration day all up until the 1000. 30 years that is when presidents were sworn in the think that that is the day that donald trump will come back to washington d.c. and he will be sworn in as the 19th president of the united states that is why there's been a lot of talk a lot of chatter saying look we should go and support him we should make sure that he can be sworn in that we can remove joe biden so all of this chatter on the internet is what's build up this concern but as i see at the moment the tend to
