throws its support behind the divisive plan 25 years in prison for dominate the world's top court sentences that ugandan child soldier turned rebel commander for war crimes and crimes against humanity china cuts off economic dialogue with australia accusing it of it having a cold war mindset. just image with the sport as far as a. native code vaccine to athletes preparing for the. but tens of thousands of people in japan have signed a petition calling for the games to be cancelled. hello welcome to the news hour it's the 1st major dispute between france and britain over fishing rights since both set navy patrol vessels to the english channel island of jersey at is to new licensing rules that the island imposed french fishermen say

those regulations prevent them from operating in the area and france says it will not be intimidated dozens of french boats sailed to the area to protest they've now return to normandy a french minister went as far as threatening to cut off the electricity supply to the island now under post that rules french boats need permits from the jersey government to fish in the island's waters that's also butler was among the protesters in jersey earlier in the day. just off to sunrise were joined by dozens of other boats you can see is me there are few tools beams if you could not see some of those boats behind me i'm just that not the way. now all around this area they're all fishing boats tilted around french fishermen processing against what they say is unfair treatment by jersey old doherty'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 with decades generations or been fishing it for centuries but now that has changed and they say it's north in peeping with the poster breaks that trade agreement that was reached between the e.u. and the u.k. now jersey is a u.k. dependency it says it is just following the rules board as happened in the last few hours is that a small group of fishermen are meeting with a group overrepresented 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 to the 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. german pharmaceutical company that develops

a vaccine along with pfizer has had out a proposal to suspend intellectual property rights. patents are not the limiting factor for the production or supplier for its vaccine and wouldn't supply anytime soon there is a renewed push to suspend patents after the u.s. president backed the proposal on wednesday india and south africa have been leading that campaign it was about purana reports from new delhi. long lines outside vaccination centers have become an increasingly common sight in india those who manage to make an appointment consider themselves lucky. because i tried it last night it did not happen because of the time. and because everything was booked then. from the hall i got the sense india is the world's largest vaccine manufacturing but it doesn't have enough vaccines for its own

people despite the government expanding the vaccination program to include everyone above the age of 18 from the start of may the number of daily inoculations has come down from $4500000.00 on the 5th of april to less than $2000000.00 exactly one month later now there are signs at the center saying it's one of the biggest in the world but this is a private facility meaning only those who can pay for a jab or who have the technology to register online get access india has been leading the calls for pharmaceutical companies to drop patents so it can boost vaccine production and on thursday the government welcomes the news the u.s. is supporting the waiving of intellectual property rights but there needs to be consensus from the other members of the world trade organization. and that might not happen soon we're really talking with the u.s. position as. it relates to the w t o part process right and that process will take

a series of months and requires a unanimous point of view to move forward. and. bought time is off the essence health experts say the removal of peyton's would save millions of lives not just an india but around the world probably does really feel you know that it's. pretty safe to leave the country is this a good time to prove it could be wrong and i'm going to do a country. because i don't really enter the same storm. it was. india and south africa 1st approached the world trade organization in september since then more contagious variants of the virus have emerged in india but scientists morning vaccines will

have to be updated to remain effective elizabeth al-jazeera you delhi. or preliminary discussions have begun at the w t o but it could take until november to reach a deal india and south africa 1st proposed the idea last october with support from more than 100 but angering pharmaceutical companies the w t o decision requires a unanimous vote from all 164 members 10 meetings in the past 7 months have failed to reach a consensus international trade law doesn't allow countries to ease of the reproduce vaccines nations like the u.k. with large pharmaceutical sectors have opposed the move arguing it will jeopardize investment and innovation by allowing wider access to patents countries could manufacture vaccines and speed up in occupations but it may take time to set up manufacturing facilities helen reese is a member of south africa's ministerial advisory committee for

a covert and covert vaccines she says it's important that vaccine production is spread around the world so supplies aren't dependent on a very few very manufacturers. 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 coded 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 through the w t o i think is very healthy and i think it allows everyone to rethink positions 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's been some limited efforts of that from big pharma to just smaller companies like astra zeneca to the servants to to india that has been really just a drop in the ocean. when we think about the amount of vaccine that we now need to produce. more ahead on the news hour including the president of the democratic republic of congo declares a state of that means for 2 provinces plagued by violence. a village in southern. border fighting what may have sparked

a dispute that. there was a big fight in the n.h.l. when the rangers and capitals. we'll have that story in sport. but 1st australia says that china's this isn't to suspend bilateral trade talks is disappointing beijing hole to economic dialogue and definitely accusing camber of a cold war mindset relations have plunged to a new low since beijing blocked imports of australian goods in the past year china is australia's largest trading partner katrina you has more from beijing. but these meetings haven't actually been held since 2017 and this announcement was 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 of a northern port to a chinese company and that lease is worth $318000000.00 and it's not 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 in wine beef and bali there had been also are numerous reports of australian pots being stuck at chinese ports just stating that 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. criticized china fusing what it calls economic coersion on other countries benjamin herskovitz as a research fellow in the school of regulation and global governance of the australian national university he says tension 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 line act up beijing sees a stray with a country that is seeking to hold china back a range of fronts that is seeking to walk chinese investments in australia that is

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 china something in maritime claims in the south china sea in the east china sea so the you will between beijing and counter is intense but in terms of the very specific cause of this particular decision it's probably a result of tricky decisions made any 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 goals in the road in the future grievance between victoria and china and beijing sees these moves as just the latest in quite provocative moves on its various parts through thoughts numbers i china and seek to undermine what china sees its core interests there are very few signs that the relationship of political level will get back on track so this is just another instance of australia expressing disappointment with what a strange season was

a long string of behavior from china which is adversarial towards israel you know there's no prospect of that disappointment going away any time soon because all the way those were little prospect of these high level political relations between beijing and camera getting back on track. a former ugandan rebel leader has been sentenced to 25 years in jail for war crimes and crimes against humanity dominic became a commander of the lord's resistance army after being abducted by the group as a child he was convicted on $61.00 counts of the international criminal court in the hague in february a judge says he ordered the killings of civilians and he also abducted children let's bring in malcolm webb in nairobi for more or to tell us more about the sentencing malcolm and also to what extent was. abduction and his indoctrination taking into account with the sentencing. when he was

around 9 between 9 and 13 years old when he was taken from his home by the rebel lord's resistance army and in those early years in in the rebel group the at some point reportedly tried to run away he was caught and then forced as a punishment to skin another child alive in this kind of brutal treatment was typical of the lord's resistance army that terrified those abducted children and in many cases guarantee that they never tried to run away ever again and for that reason on when told the judges at the i.c.c. that he said he thought he should be held to account for things that he was forced to do but the judges didn't buy it they said that for the many years that he was in the rebel group pleading as a fully grown man there were other opportunities when he couldn't leave when he could have left but he chose not to so they said he should still be criminally accountable for those atrocities and crimes that were committed on his watch which included as you say massacres abducting children and rapes sexual slavery $61.00 of

them in total and malcolm the leader of the lord's resistance army that's joseph coney he still remains at large. that's right in spite of the ugandan army having pursued him for around 3 decades across 4 different countries with u.s. military support and on several occasions having known exactly where years there's a lot of skepticism among people in northern uganda if they ever really wanted to catch him at all and so this is one of the big questions surrounding these attempts at justice for your northern uganda civil war if the main architects of it are actually still large and another big question surrounding this justice is also for a lot of the victims why so far it's only been one side is only people from the rebel side that have been investigated by the i.c.c. and justice campaigners complain that in uganda there hasn't been there any. and

a serious attempt to investigate people from the you got in the military who were accused of atrocities and neither has the i.c.c. done so one justice campaigner i spoke to earlier said well they very much welcome the fact that when the been successfully tried and prosecuted and sentenced on the other hand they said that this was a drop in the ocean in looking at the grave injustice is that happened across all those decades of that conflict ok thank you so much martin for that reporting from nairobi. kristof tackle was an expert witness in dominique trial and she says that he's surprised by the sentence. it's higher than what many people expect that it's higher than what the prosecution asked the prosecution asked for 20 s. . and he got 25 years. also it's clear that although his experience as a child the child soldier is being abducted it's was a mitigating circumstances it wasn't taken into consideration for his but the

ability they said well the gravity of this crime stayed this 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 you agreed with that one jet set 12 because of this brevity i would prefer to get 30 years so he didn't want to take these personal circumstances into account and there are some voices who say out of the defense team they argue to well somebody like you know in the old grand research be try to according to traditional justice mechanisms there is for example a cultural judicial megacity mechanism which a school tomorrow puts but the i.c.c. rule to no we can not take this into consideration the sentencing has to take place here or other forces are acute well 1st of all it's difficult to say that there is one voice of what people in northern uganda say some people would say let him sit

out his sentence in the hake but let him also quote here to uganda and let him pull in the charts. the democratic republic of congo's military has taken control of through eastern provinces for one month on friday the president declared a state of siege in north kivu one in 3 saying it was in response to quote cries of distress from the population government says it wants to stop the escalating violence between armed groups that killed more than $300.00 people this year but critics worry it could lose it leads to an abuse of power catherine sorry she's joining us from nairobi so katherine how is this being seen by people who live there and how will it actually play out on the ground. what we spoke a little earlier to a human rights campaign in bend in north cuba one of the 2 provinces that have been put effectively under military rule and he said that they're really in unchartered territory this is

a law that has never been used before so you can imagine there is a lot of on saturday. so when the president gave his address to the nation on sunday he gave the military and the police sweeping powers they are now in charge of administrative duties 2 generals have been appointed as governors replacing the elected governors they will have the power to make arrests to even go forcefully into people's homes and arrest those suspected of being collaborators with armed groups that immunity of law call members of parliament and that the electoral role of election officials has been lifted as well that means they can also be arrested on suspicion of. on suspicion of being of supporting rebel groups people are concerned about civil liberties what does this mean that can be curtailed we have seen protests in the last few weeks by people who are

angry and aggrieved saying that the government and the u.n. and not doing enough to protect them so that might be cut. old as well so people are concerned about that and the fact that they feel that the military may abuse this new power that has been given to it here so on the nose can the military be trusted to keep the peace knowing that they have a historical record for abuse. well there is very little trust especially in this region people don't trust the security forces at all they say they have failed to protect them we've been speaking to people who say look at this 2 regions that are the most militarized congo tens of thousands of soldiers have been deployed there over the years including un peacekeepers deployed there to fight this more than $100.00 armed groups in eastern d r c and they have had little success people have also accused the

military some soldiers of being corrupt of being in this simply carrying out human rights abuses the military's underfunded overwhelmed so a lot of people are saying what difference will it make but there are others who are saying that perhaps this is a bold move a bold move by the president and the right to call a decision that was needed to change things give the president a chance give this a chance but you know the civil society groups we've been talking to saying that unless there are checks and balances especially with the military and the police they could very easily exploited take advantage of the situations so this needs to be checked very carefully ok thank you so much catherine so reporting from nairobi we'll continue this conversation with john kerry who's a professor of political science at the university of can charge so he's joining us on the phone from there thanks for speaking to us on al-jazeera you say the decision by the government is long overdue why do you say that and what are you

basing it on. i'm really content for the opportunity i am living with on one was the lady has been saying the 'd the generally 2 are just talking that is what has been going on and that's why folks have been waiting for something right because that will change the situation and that's 4 contrary to what the lady said the decision was very much welcome by over the call with one particularly those who are close to. the program says so there is the waves that even though they have been the use of in the past with disregard for the law in the past that commitment is such that the all the eyes of the congolese people are on the army are on the military and that's why this has to be done seriously and correctly and that's the time to be trying hope that the details of what

a reporter said alito is that this decision is not welcomed by everybody because what critics are saying is that the state of siege means that there will be replacement of all civil authorities giving the military very broad powers are you not concerned that this could undermine human rights and lead to an abuse of power . every place in the world where they are to proclaim such concern has been raised so it is not only in congress that we really have to make that you are right in suggesting that this could be argued that they would be the other side of the of the needs of the it's a seat at the other fake it could be even collateral we have said that if you needed to getting read over the goods that have brought. that

brought misery and 1. burning to the congolese people in this province is so we can't stand that since simply because there's going to be some a. violation of the lol some collateral we should not bloody we don't know what our long term solution to this is not a long term solution is that it's just lasting for one month so far what needs to be done no to find a long term solution to the problems in these 2 provinces these seize the beginning is too big for one month but it is renewable that we continue to go on and until those troops are scrubbed out of the bullshit it won't be an easy task for the read that but the fact is the beginning so i think we should be optimistic and given the chance to see what they can do he says then we can start

drawing conclusions before even the action and that won't be fair does that really did you see it so let's return to 100 ok thank you so much in town caring for speaking to us from concetta. so majaw is resuming diplomatic relations with kenya mogadishu had suspended ties with its neighbor in december over what it called political interference particularly in the south where kenyan soldiers are fighting the armed group. other issues included a dispute over a post tensional offshore oil and gas deposits. here with the news hour on al-jazeera coming up in a moment who am i question being asked by victims of fraudulent adoptions and then the balance and there is good news on the current virus vaccination front for a new york fans hoping to watch yankees and mets games peter haag will have more on that in sports.

just how close moon as family and 3 others are to being forced out they've lodged a final appeal with israel's supreme court which is now saying it will hold another session on monday when his father not bill who's already had one house seized by settlers fears what could happen if the court rules against them. will be in the streets because all of us like me we're old people we don't work we don't have incomes and the cheapest rent around here is $2000.00 how can we afford the homes were built for palestinian refugees in an arrangement between the united nations and jordan during the period of jordanian rule after 948 a jewish settler organization says the land was owned by jews before 948 and should be returned in light of israel's seizure of east jerusalem in 1967 the lawyer representing the palestinian families says their counter claims of ownership have not been properly assessed by the courts we dealing with a domestic legal. system that. rejects the noise the

international humanitarian law and the international. should be applied in these jewels that the family's legal battle is being constrained by the limits of israeli law which israel seeks to apply here in occupied east jerusalem but there is another legal argument based on international law and israel's obligations as an occupying power an argument that requires political pressure some has come from campaign groups and diplomats in recent weeks britain's mission to the palestinians tweeting out this video statement the restitution and planning here and their implementation. and they breach israel's obligations as an occupying power since the start of the holy month of ramadan tensions in east jerusalem have been unusually high from gaza hamas is military wing is warning of a high price for israeli actions in shape. the consequences of a massive action here could be felt well beyond the families under threat of losing

their homes. that al-jazeera occupied east jerusalem let's go back to one of our top stories a lots on the dispute between france and the u.k. over fishing rights and speak to bury the chief executive at the national federation of fisherman's organizations he's joining us from new york that's of the united kingdom hi there barry d.c. thanks for your time with us on al-jazeera so what we're seeing is that bricks are realities being played out in real time in the waters off jersey i mean fisherman have so far managed to get the attention of both the french and the british all forty's what do you think will happen next. in the short term i think this is a gesture that's been made by the french the psychs say that the demonstration i mean made is. the vessels will go. i think this is a longer term issue which is that things have changed as you've indicated

with breaks it and the u.k. and deep the e.u. have regulation of ptolemy over their own waters so in the u.k. and in parts of the u.k. so we're talking also about jersey. that means that the authorities can apply their own management measures to those areas as long as they are science based for good management reasons and are nondiscriminatory and i think that's a very significant change and i think that the french fishing industry haven't quite come to terms of that already but so far they are paying commission saying that it backs france and says the terms of the trade deal are not being respected so if an agreement can't be found what happens next. well my

understanding is that the jewish authorities have done is entirely within the terms of the trade and cooperation agreement. that these have nations that are proportionate their science based. there for good conservation reasons and they're nondiscriminatory so these measures apply equally to jersey vessels other u.k. vessels but also french and other european vessels so. i think what we need to do is is understand what the measures are. the conditions that have been brought why they've been brought in and then have those discussions and essentially deescalate the issue we are in a new world in the sense that regulator autonomy is going to be a feature in the future and we need to find

a way of ensuring that the communications are there that we we understand the reasons why things are being done how they're being done and make sure that they're . circulated and understood well in advance because there are more in general negotiations taking place between the u.k. and in new officials about the division of quotes as this year for a shared fessing stock so are you concerned that there will be whiter this. well the annual gauche ations something going on but they were really cover. as the cover the total will catches the conditions under which those those catches a mate but not the dishes they're already agreed with in the traded corporation agreement no i don't think this will have an impact on the. set of negotiations i think they're quite separate i think this is

a bit of an overreaction. and lack of understanding about how things have changed i think the most important thing now is to have. some sensible dialogue. understand what needs to be done to ensure the. vessels for the fish legally within within these areas and just one last question for you so when the french freshman say the permits these new permits now post that have come with a long list of restrictions that were never agreed upon did they not have a point at all to say that. well i think there's probably 2 issues here that the permits licenses are been issued. to vessels that have demonstrated a historic track record of fishing in the area where there is no proof of that activity in the past then a license will be granted so this is about demonstrating activity in the area

there's another related issue about replacement vessels. it doesn't make sense for an 8 metre vessel to be replaced by an a.t.v. jessel 4 to take an extreme example. that's an outstanding issue so there are things to to to discuss there may have been. there may be things that could be improved in terms of communicating the new measures the new license conditions too to the e.u. this is all very new this is part of the new world that we're living in common fisheries policy and in the world of regulation autonomy so there are lessons to be learnt i agree with that ok thank you so much barry days for speaking to us from new york thank you. well the pace of global heating is leading to rapid and unstoppable sea level rises from melting polar ice sheets that's the

stark warning from scientists who say the levels of ice loss could be irreversible the study says emissions need to be swiftly reduced to meet the paris climate agreement a failure could cause an abrupt abrupt jump in the pace of ice loss by 2060 and this with fuel sea level rise and place coastal cities in danger down lowry is a glaciologist that ice sheet model are a g.n.a.s. science in new zealand he says decisions made today will be crucial to slow sea level rise. it may sound like a small thing at a centimeter sea level rise but really when you think about storm surge the effect would be that those waves could reach much further inland and really impact a lot more people and was even more displacement so every centimeter is is what we would hope to prevent questions about antarctic ice shelf stability and so a lot of models conflict on when that point of no return can happen but what is

important is that it is driven by ocean processes when the ocean heat is in these ice shelves and they can no longer hold back that land base i and we can't get the heat out of the ocean so really the decisions we make today are really important for all of those down line effect keeping our ice shelf stable and keeping that ice on land where it should be well really what we find is that if we aim for that high ambitious target of 1.5 degrees celsius we could have global sea level rise from all the land i. contribution to 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 budgets are and and think of ways of which we did lower it to meet those high ambitious target. still ahead on
