santorini sentence in light of all the relevant circumstances of the present case at the same time such a joint sentence acknowledges dominic i'm going to need personal history and safeguards the prospect of a successful social reality sion and consequently the concrete possibility of future reintegration into society malcolm worth has been following the proceedings from nairobi he says always experience at a complicated ethical issues to the case abducted from his home when he was between 9 and 13 years old forced to commit atrocities that was typical of how the lord's resistance army operated taking children from their homes brutalizing them and then forcing them to commit atrocities against their own communities in in on grand case after trying to run away at one point as a child he was reportedly forced to skin another child alive as a punishment and these kinds of things were very common which of course provided

a very brutal environment in which these abducted children grew up and ongoing himself told the judges just a couple of weeks ago that he wasn't responsible for any of these atrocities because he was forced to commit them and he grew up in that environment but as we've just heard the judges say that this sentence of 25 years reflects on the one hand the large number of crimes 61 that he's been found guilty the gravity of the crimes that they say also reflects the fact that he was abducted as a child but the judges said that as an adult because he was in the bush for many years he grew up there and continued to to command unit of the n.r.a. as a fully grown man they say that during that period had opportunity to leave and he chose to stay in for that reason legally he should be held accountable for these crimes. the you can friends of both navy patrol vessels to the island of jersey. intensifies over post fishing rights french fisherman say that they're being

prevented from operating in the area due to new licensing rules imposed by jersey dozens of french boats of sail to jersey to protest the u.k.'s concern they'll blockade the island's main port a french ministers also threaten to cut off the elec tricity supply to the island let's cross over to natasha butler who's on a french fishing boat off the port of san tellier in jersey not much. going on at the moment in the channel islands there natasha what seems to be happening you've been following events through the day. yes. it's all i'm on a french fishing boats as you say so we came in the early hours of the morning from the normandy coast in france and we've been here for about 6 hours and just off to sunrise were joined by dozens of other boats you can be there if you'd sort of use it you could see some of those boats behind me on just that but not the way. now all around this area they're all fishing boats started around french fishermen

probably c'est ing against what they say is unfair treatment by jersey authorities they say that the authorities in jersey are limits in back so as to be able to fish in these waters they say that they've been fishing it for decades generations been fishing it for centuries but now that has changed and they say it's not in keeping with the post a break sit trade agreement that was reached between the e.u. and the u.k. now jersey is a u.k. dependency it says that it's just following the rules borders happened in the last few hours is that a small group of fishermen a meeting with a group of representatives from jersey to discuss the situation it is extremely tense though because the u.k. school this a provocation and what they've done is sent to naval ships enable warships here the french have done the same to vessels on their way from the french coast so really

the pressure is rising and as you said we've heard from a french minister in the last week or so threatening to cross off the electricity supply to just the 95 percent of josie's electricity comes from frogs because it's the closest point not the french minister saying that josey authorities must restore these full fishing rights to the french fishing community their main their main point of contention is that they say that they're being. issuer it issued licenses by the jersey authorities but those licenses come in so many rules and restrictions they're just not able to fish like they used to the real concern will be how this is actually resolved in the long term because the matter what happens respective governments have to go back either to paris or to london and sell this back to the public bricks it. well i think the negotiations that will happen between the fisherman and the

representatives from jersey today will be only at a certain level as you say you'd imagine that what they the jersey authorities want to do is at least try and calm the situation because all these fishing boats all a bit in the way of the port the study not blockading if they did go into the ports a bit earlier but they came out afterwards they said they're not here to blockade they're not scared to obstruct they just want to be heard there's no doubt though that this has to go so much i level and in the past few weeks because this has been rumbling for a while ministers from the u.k. government joe thora g.'s in jersey and in france have been talking about this but france certainly saying that they feel that it's up to the authorities in jersey to go back to the rulebook if you like but in the meantime it's the fisherman in france who is saying no we're suffering here because we're losing 3040 you know as much as 80 percent of our business because we're not able to fish like we used to they also points out that their colleagues in jozi losing out to because fisherman

does the land there catches in france mainly in the european union because that's their main markets in fact we've actually seen a couple of boats owned by jersey fisherman who have come out here to support some of their french colleagues fully at it thanks very much natasha butler for jesse pokey. now it's a move that could help millions of people in poor countries get inoculated against over 90 and there are signs that europe could be could back the new push by the u.s. president to suspend intellectual property rights for vaccines the chief says she's willing to discuss a proposal of allow more manufacturers to produce champs mike hanna begins our coverage. president biden had backed a vaccine waiver jaring the 2020 presidential campaign and in recent weeks his team has held a series of discussions with representatives from the pharmaceutical sector.

it was the u.s. trade representative catherine tai who formerly made the announcement these extraordinary times and circumstances of call for emergency measures she tweeted the u.s. supports the waiver of protection on covert 1000 back scenes to help in the pandemic and will actively participate in w t o negotiations to make that happen. in the past the u.s. and other countries had opposed anyway but of intellectual property rights the white house press secretary explaining the change in position clearly is these decisions are way we take intellectual property incredibly seriously and we also though are in the midst of a historic global pandemic which requires a range of creative solutions and we're looking at it through that prism while the pharmaceutical industry had argued strongly against the waiver there were many in president biden's own party who insisted that he uphold his campaign promise

blocking access to vaccines is any humanitarian any diplomatic it weakens their credentials for the girls on the global stage and while the biden administration continues to step up efforts to vaccinate as many americans as possible the potential impact of its decision on the global stage cannot be understated i think it's an incredible moment in american history where president biden has essentially said to the world is this is a moment for the global community to come together to form a global response to this pandemic it is unprecedented it is historic and i have to say that it is one that is going to change the course of this pandemic the message too from the biden administration that while the pandemic continues to rage in countries like india americans cannot consider themselves safe. mike hanna al-jazeera washington well india has been pushing for the waiver on vaccine patents

a lot of the problem has more from new delhi. we asked a vaccination center in new delhi where people with appointments are the lucky ones because they aren't enough doses in the country this is a private facility so people here are having to pay for their vaccines now the government expanded the vaccination program to include everyone above the age of 18 from the 1st of may but they asked states to make their own arrangements with vaccine manufacturers who say they just don't have enough doses the indian government has been leading a push from low and middle income countries to remove patients to remove the intellectual property rights on vaccines so that india and other countries can manufacture them at no cost so that they can ramp up production and inoculate more of their people and others to they submitted a proposal to the world trade organization in september along with south africa to remove the patients on the astra zeneca and also the pfizer vaccine just for the

duration off the pandemic that proposal was supported by more than $100.00 countries but strongly opposed by the world's biggest economies by the us by the e.u. and also by big pharmaceutical companies this support from the u.s. now is being welcomed but the other members of the world trade organization will have to get behind it and if or when that's achieved they will have to be the setting up of special facilities because some of these vaccines such as pfizer use more advanced technology and that is why this announcement would have been more. at the time that the proposal was made before the situation became so out of control in india allowed a new and more contagious variants of the virus which is threatening not just and dns but others too and the scientific advisor on india's call the task force said that vaccines are going to have to be updated because of these new variants.

from all the land i. contribution the sea level relative to current emission pledges that would put us more at 3 degrees celsius so it's really important to try to for countries everywhere to think about what their mission pledges are and and think of ways of which we did lower rates to meet those high ambitious target. and finally a molly a woman has given birth to 9 it babies 2 more than doctors detected joining scans the 5 girls and 4 boys were delivered in a specialist care unit in morocco it appears to be the 1st time on record that a woman has given birth to 9 surviving babies all at the same time. you're watching al-jazeera with me so ho raman in doha a reminder of our top news stories the international criminal court sentence former
