a ruthless ugandan rebel leader dominic is sentenced to 25 years jail for war crimes. living in a divided and deserted community we visit to southern kurdistan where thousands of people have fled or to fight. and i'm peter same to go to school to news tens of thousands of people in japan have signed a petition calling for the turkey to cancel that and plenty more later in the program. so there is a renewed push for a paper on covert $1000.00 vaccines to be temporarily suspended after president biden gave his backing on wednesday it would allow buy new factories to produce jobs under license the european union says it's ready to discuss the move india and south africa have led the drive by low and middle income countries to suspend the pay. india which is at the epicenter of the world's worst corona virus outbreak has welcomed by support elizabeth prone and has more now from new delhi. we as

a vaccination center in new delhi where people appointments are the lucky ones because there 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 about the age of 18 from the 1st of may but they asked states to make their own arrangements vaccine manufacturers. you say they just don't have enough doses the indian government has been leading a push from low and middle income countries to remove peyton's 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 of 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 us now is being welcomed but the other members of the world trade organization will have to get behind it too 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 well 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 is called the task force said that vaccines are going to have to be updated because of these new variants

well aris is a member of south africa's ministerial advisory committee for covert covert vaccines she's also chair of the south african health permits products and regulates the authority and joins us now from johannesburg helena it is very evident is know that this needs to happen and it does seem to be gaining some momentum do you think it will take place. i think it will because the transferring of intellectual property rights and what that means for actually tech transfer. there's a time difference and the time lag it is a pity that we didn't think about doing this earlier but it's never too late because i think most of us think that we're going to need code vaccines not just this year and next year but quite a long time to come but i think just generally you know the pandemic does make us and should make us think differently and it might not have been something that immediately countries all the pharmaceutical industry wanted to jump towards but

the fact that the dialogue is not opened up with all the role players to the. i think it's very healthy and i think it allows everyone to rethink positions the thing is as you say it could take a long time in 6 months to even get a green light let alone get things rolling so that we have that kind of time given the state of the world right now. well i think 'd what it might also do is push big pharma to think about other measures in between well with thinking about this i think the message is loud and clear is a massive inequity in terms of distribution of vaccines the countries that are really really struggling simply don't have vaccines in the african region we don't have vaccines and we're not getting enough vaccines to the kovacs facility that would support the poorest countries so that message is out there but i think one thing that might happen is that perhaps big pharma will now say ok well is there another way that we could look at this we understand the pressure we're hearing

that we're seeing it can we do more in license sharing can we do more in tech transfer proactively and voluntarily can we go further than we have done because although some there been some limited efforts at that from big pharma to just smaller companies like astra zeneca to the servants to divinia that it's been really just a drop in the ocean. when we think about the amount of vaccine that we now need to release but you think that's really likely to happen given the rebel to many is the bottom line the council as far as big farms. well you know i'm hopeful and one of the reasons i'm thinking back on it a part of the well it will be we've really struggled to be a child be epidemic for for many many many years and we had the same debate around antiretroviral drugs when we simply in this part of the african region didn't have access to them and then we did get wave people understood that the humanitarian. one is something different had to be done so indeed i'm

hopeful i do think that professor sort of professor cheika president biden's announcement that they are in favor of this it obviously has a huge amount of negotiation process is to go through the p.t.o. but i do think that that will push this dialogue and thinking along there is very briefly having just one more there is something very wrong isn't that when the country that makes 60 percent of all vaccines that is india then finds itself in the position that it now is with just a you know a tragedy all around yes and i mean obviously there will be a lot of post-mortems in india about why this is happened because it's not only the vaccine manufacturing though it's also. that the vulnerability of the health services before even code that came along which has just been exacerbated by the pandemic so yes i agree but i think there are other things that this is made us realize as well we were many poor countries were depending on for example the serum

institute of india is a very large vaccine manufacture but now because of indian situation export from them has been restricted so we really need to also spread manufacturing around the world so that in the event that one manufacturing plant fails for whatever reason that we actually have other resources in many different regions of all the men not just dependence on a few very notch manufacturers. we appreciate your contribution thanks very much thank you. the u.k. and france have both sent navy patrol vessels to the island of jersey is a row intensifies overpraise breaks it fishing rights french fishermen say they're being prevented from operating in the area because of new licensing rules imposed by jersey dozens of a french boats have sailed to the island to protest the u.k. is concerned they will blockade the island's main port and french ministers also threaten to cut off the electricity supply to the island tasha butler has more from

the port of st helena in jersey. just off to sunrise were joined by dozens of other boats you can see is me there good source music 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 dotted around french fishermen processing against what they say is unfair treatment by jersey or dorothy's they say that the authorities in jersey are limiting 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 breaks that trade agreement that was reached between the e.u. and the u.k. now jersey is u.k. dependency it says it is just following the rules but what has happened in the last few hours is that a small group of fishermen are 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 send. a naval ships here naval warships here the french have done the same to vessels on their way ikea from the french coast so really the pressure is rising. a credible still ahead including who i don't like the question being asked by victims of fortune to doctrines in the novel and. the warnings that only slow slow down to alter code could be reaching an irreversible tipping point last month you know given all still aiming to secure it all english final in the europa league that's coming up in sport. you're watching odds are a reminder our top stories this hour the european union says it's ready to discuss

a joint sentence acknowledges only congress unique personal history and safeguards the prospect of a successful social reality. and consequently the concrete possibility of future reintegration into society or malcolm webb has been following the proceedings from nairobi he says zongo ns experience added 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 an 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 command units of the n.r.a. as a fully grown man they say that during that period had opportunities to leave and he chose to stay in for that reason legally he should be held accountable for these crimes let us speak now to christophe to teka who's a senior lecturer in these 2 to develop policy at the university of antwerp it was also an expert witness in this trial of dominant congo and joins us now from antwerp belgium christophe 1st lots of unusual considerations had to be taken into

account or at least presented in court during this trial what do you make of this century. and it's it's a unsurprising sentence in one way it's higher than what many people expect that it's higher than what the prosecution asked the prosecution asked for 20 years. and he got 25 years. old so it's clear that although his experience as a child a child soldiers being abducted it's was a mitigating circumstances it wasn't taken into consideration for his book ability so also much of the elements which are brought on by the defense are just directed separately were not taken into account so it is to some extent surprising added this iron expect and what should we take from that the fact that the his experience his own abduction and subsequent indoctrination doesn't seem to have been taken to

account when it came to sentencing yeah well judge order to him or said to that it had been taken into account for the sentence and they said well the gravity of this crime stayed as they deserve much more than 20 years they would deserve a life sentence but because of these particular circumstances were given 25 years and not all churches agree we agreed with that one didn't step 12 because of this brevity i would prefer to get 30 years so he didn't want to take these personal circumstances into account. but much of the specific circumstances such as the directs or the indoctrination etc it wasn't that that was not taken into account rather this whole issue of spirituality is what is in there because that joseph county leader who still at large is still free his followers believed him to be possessed by spirits and they themselves were protected by their spirits and it

is that something that would be taken to account because it probably wouldn't be the normal course of or any way would it. no indeed it was not taken into account and that was something difficult to do court had to deal with it so this spiritual element plays a very important role in there and it plays an important role in the race in which abductees are taught in kenya movements their belief that spirits can we're minds that they're never not allow us to escape but occurred throughout this cannot be proven in an objective manner and that's why it is not taken into consideration but of course of difficulty is how can you prove something that's a religion or something which gives an enormous pressure on those who are part of this rebel movement so what does that lead you to think about the the suitability or otherwise of the i.c.c. to try cases like this. that's that's a very difficult debate of course there are some voices who say out of the defense

team they are grouped well somebody like you know nicole granted you should be tried according to traditional justice mechanisms there is for example a cultural judicial negative mechanism which a school tomato puts but the i.c.c. route no we cannot take this into consideration the sentencing has to take place here or there of course argue well 1st of all it's difficult to say that there is one force of what people in northern uganda say but some people would say let him sit out his sentence in the hague but let him also quote here to uganda and let him pull in china. so it's difficult to give a general answer to that question or an interesting topic nonetheless that christophe to take a good to have your perspective thanks very much indeed thank you. now the democratic republic of congo's military has taken control of 2 eastern provinces for a month or friday the president declared a state of siege in north kivu materie government says it's to control escalating

violence between groups that's killed more than $300.00 people since january the critics worry it could lead to abuses of power. catherine so he joins us live now from nairobi to tell us more about this short term plan with the potential for long term consequences. absolutely and we've just spoken to a human rights campaign in beni north kivu one of the provinces that is now effectively under military rule and basically he just said that they are in uncharted territory this is a low that has never been used before so there is a lot of uncertainty so during his address to the nation on sunday president phillips just basically gave the military and the police force sweeping powers in those 2 regions until the security situation is resolved so now there will be in charge of i've been straighted duties already to generals have been appointed as governors replacing the elected governors the police and military will have the

powers to arrest even go into people's homes without warrants to make arrests of people who are suspected to be collaborating with groups the immunity of law hold members of parliament and other election elect another elected leaders has been lifted that means they can also be arrested very easily for suspicion of supporting . groups so people are very concerned they have told us about their worry about what's going to happen to civil liberties the military would have the power to tell some people some liberties including their right to protest we have been seeing protests in the last few weeks. in bent me over the security situation so people are concerned about that and they're also saying that the military could abuse this new powers and there was a they have

a historical record for abuse that. yes they do and i mean the people that we've been talking to for starters are saying look this is a region that is highly movements arise in regions that have the most soldiers tens of thousands of soldiers have been deployed over the years in this region think looting the u.n. peacekeepers to fight this group so we have more than $100.00 groups in eastern d r c so this is the most militarized a region in the country so people are asking what difference will it make now the military has also been in the past some soldiers have been accused in the past of being in disciplined corrupt of you know human rights abuses the military is underfunded and over want to deal with the situation so people are really not folding their breath but there are those who are saying that give this a chance perhaps this is the right to be called solution that was needed it appears

that presidential security is eager to so all the problem that his predecessors fails to solve or catherine thanks for that catherine sort of nairobi kurdistan's president is promising compensation for families whose homes were destroyed in fights you know law is disputed border with. more than 50 people were killed and 60000 forced to leave stratford went to exile in southern coca stunned to see what's left behind. this far a river looking south towards the primary ally mountains the road winds to a mountain landscape that kyrgyzstan have repeatedly fought over because borders here are indistinct the burnt out military and civilian vehicles evidence of the most recent fighting. what started as an argument between curators and villages about control of a water pump escalated into a battle between 2 armies houses and schools were destroyed at least 50 people were

demarcated as local populations have grown so has the competition for land and water villagers are worried of fighting could start again. my family were evacuated i don't know whether to bring them back it seems like our neighbors consider us the enemy we face unexpected attacks a nearby village is almost deserted with each side blaming the other for the violence all. the things that you hear one side of the villages kill against the other is to the shooting started in the middle of the night the cure to gays started it by throwing stones at our soldiers tried to flee but it was too dangerous analysts say it will take more than political will to resolve the issue the situation is very dangerous and we saw what. an intensity the conflict can take at the end. at the end of april it takes a lot of. very principled and very. clever diplomatic

announced by china's national development reform commission a very important body here in beijing and it essentially is symbolic it tells us what we already know the relationship between china and australia is in a deep freeze and it doesn't look like it's going to improve anytime soon and it follows the decision by canberra to toss out an agreement with the victorian state government one of the states in australia with beijing under china's belt and road initiative and we also know that australia is currently mulling over scrapping the 99 year lease of the chinese guy of a northern port to a chinese company and that lease is worth $318000000.00 and it's now many exporters in australia rely on china's gigantic market so china has responded by blocking many of the exports to china it's raised carrots it's really significantly and put extra restrictions on for example strongly unwind beef and bali that had

been also are numerous reports of australian pots being stuck at chinese ports just staying there with no formal reason given as to why they're not getting to chinese consumers as well although it is significant to knowledge that china does continue to import australian iron ore which is a resource that it badly needs but this is not the 1st time that china has used its economic might to essentially penalize countries that it's not happy with it's done this with norwegian salmon it's done this with taiwanese pineapples and indeed just this week the g 7 leaders gathering in the u.k. criticize china fusing what it calls economic coersion on other countries. which is a research fellow in the school of regulation and global governance at the australian national university and he says tensions between the 2 trading partners are not likely to end soon. the relationship has to be in freefall for quite some time and there are so many factors at play that beijing sees kember as

a moat why act up beijing sees a stray was a country that is seeking to hold china back a ranger francis seeking to walk chinese investments in australia that he's seeking to embarrass china on the world stage by criticizing its human rights record and that is even to interfere in china's internal affairs and interfere in trying to soften his maritime claims in the south china sea in the east china sea so the you will between beijing and camber is intense but in terms of the very specific cause of this particular decision it's probably a result of tricky decisions made in camera move to review the 99 year lease on the port of darwin for the chinese company land bridge and then that decision by the israeli federal government to veto those bills murdered here agreements between victoria and china and beijing sees these moves is just the latest in quite provocative moves on the straightest part through thoughts knows that china and seek to undermine what china sees as its core interests there are very few signs

that the relationship political level will get back on track so this is just another instance of australia expressing disappointment with what a strangely sees us alone string of behavior from china which is adversarial towards this trail you know there's no prospect of that disappointment going away any time soon because all the way there's very little prospect of these high level political relations between beijing and camera getting back on track taiwan's indigenous communities will find out on friday if they've won a court battle involving one of the last remaining traditions hunting for years they've lobbied against limitations they say discriminate terry and unconstitutional so the heart of this report. guided by moonlight put on tribe head into the mountains as most of tejan city sleeps. hundreds of them are taking part in the mother who died in festival issue ting ceremony an annual
