global supply anytime soon there is a renewed push to suspend patents after the u.s. president backed that proposal on wednesday preliminary discussions have now begun at the w t o but it could take until november to reach a deal now india and south africa 1st proposed that idea last october with support from more than $100.00 countries 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 easily reproduce vaccines and nations like the u.k. with large pharmaceutical sector is 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 while the united nations has welcomed the u.s. as decision. this would be a very important decision if every of adopted by the w t o but we also need to work simultaneously on the scaling up of manufacturing access to all the ensuring that everyone has access to all that the basic elements that are needed to manufacture. the vaccine so there are. it is not the end all and be all it is one a very important part but there are other things including financial support are there we need to ensure that vaccines are produced in as many places as possible and as close as possible to the to those who will be consuming them elizabeth 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 we had to. because i tried it last night it did not happen because of the time i'm at logon and because a lot everything was booked then i managed to go and i tried again to be in the morning or somehow i got the sense india is the world's largest vaccine manufacturer but it doesn't have enough covered vaccines for its own people and 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 peak of $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 and via has been leading the calls for pharmaceutical companies to drop patents so it can boost

vaccine production and on thursday the government welcomes the new. who's the u.s. who's supporting the waiving of intellectual property rights but there needs to be consensus from the other members of the world trade organization the w t o and that might not happen soon we're really talking about the us 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 you. know. bought time is off the essence health experts say the removal of peyton's would save millions of lives not just in india but around the world. you know that it's. safe to leave the country is this a group good we want to get that.

even i don't. think so. india and south africa 1st approached the world trade organization in september since then new 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 new delhi. let's talk to. iran who is an intellectual property lawyer who's joining us from new delhi thanks so much for your time with us on al-jazeera so this move to suspend patent seems to be gaining momentum do you think it will happen. when i met up with the flow the supreme court as well as the well the high court and i think the will because of its unsung the vote would you let your property by profit to be the barrier and there was the

government to consider the 2 way feed do it yourself or do specially that they didn't and they have asked the government to consider that whether they can issue compulsory loans so the government has to considering that so that's just something which if it is for seem to be a barrier then but it's something the government is considering as to how they should because on making sure that the right and the drugs manufacturers themselves argue that this may not have the desired effect what do you make of arguments. no i i would respectfully disagree with that if it's because of one of those where water is holding back all the companies is actually acquired from the other things they do to the g.-man i living elbows it seems do it your property rights it's the region trying to mining sectors have over all the drugs over so many of those 'd medicines gifts and over the matter of vaccines but for these you know i

mean you would have found that they would be able to 100 manufacturers the 'd propping up in india who would be manufacturing these drugs and today in those urgent need for us to write in the manufacturing please so therefore. what would you nights especially since quite a bit of the hoods you mean this could take as long as 6 months to even get a decision and when you look at the situation where you are and you know which is witnessing a 2nd wave to even have that kind of time. so i think. i've been doing i will it might just take a lot of time but eventually just like russia has issued what you guys and i'm just so india also have those kind of delusions in the indian produce long and this possible for the government to some doing. you know when

a company used to make doing this or not and the government can take over the supply any good sort of national and the supply all the jobs all over the country so as china india is concerned the indian government by itself can take that step back 'd that's that's what all of us up and she will requesting the government to consider live this just the tip of the band of a lot for the entire term of good speeches and you represented a case that involved a cancer drug from what i understand in which the patent was eventually granted a temporary waiver what can be learnt from that experience and applied to during this time. so that is a very different it's rationed that was a case where the government by itself was costing a lot of the know it goes was costing the. highly on the for the bills and just 'd look at it for of course the most like today doesn't be affected by that

but today we have a pandemic so all the more reason for us to explain again is the length as of today in a in the other 2 years experience that we had with the license we had found that you know we had to go through a lot of overly hearings and. given that for some budget i shouldn't but that's why it says have the vision whereby all that great shape can be covered and the government within a matter of maybe 'd a couple of days or even less than that can actually issue licenses to as many people as the ones where what up tonight can get a license you know that to an evil them to that effect isn't doing the scientific. ok thank you so much for speaking to us from new delhi now to brazil where at least 25 people including one officer have been killed during

but 1st it's the 1st major dispute between france and britain over fishing rights and. both sent navy patrol vessels to the english channel island of jersey at issue new licensing rules that the islands imposed french fishermen say those regulations prevent them from operating in the area and francaise it will not be intimidated dozens of french boats sail to the area to protest they've now richer and so normandy a french minister once as far as threatening to cut off the electricity supply to the island under post that rules french boats need permits from the jersey government to fish in the islands waters natasha 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 use me there are few tools being said you could not see some of those boats behind me on just that not the way. now all around this area there are 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 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 a u.k. dependency it says that is just following the rules but what does happen to the last few hours is that a small group of fishermen are meeting with a group over 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 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 very vs as the chief executive at the

national federation of fishermen's and organizations he says the new licensing rules imposed by jersey are justified. in the short term i think this is a gesture that's been made by the french the sykes say the demonstration i mean made of. the vessels will go. i think this is a longer term issue which is that things have changed with brics it and the u.k. and deep the e.u. have regulation of harmony over their own waters so in the u.k. and in parts of the u.k. so we're talking also about jersey well my understanding is that the. authorities have done is entirely within the terms of the trade incorporation agreement. that these of 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 have those discussions and essentially deescalate the issue protesters are gathering in occupied east jerusalem again as israel supreme court considers whether to hear the appeal for palestinian families threatened with eviction many are angry after israeli police attack palestinians protesting against their fictions in the shafts out of the neighborhood several european countries including france and germany are urging

israel to stop building illegal settlements across occupied palestinian territories harry fosset joining us from occupied east jerusalem gary what are you seeing behind you. well it's relatively quiet now but we saw earlier on just how quickly tensions can flare there was an incident where a couple of palestinian youths on this side of the road were having a an argument with the jewish roots on the other pepper spray was used on the palestinians it devolved into a pretty major clash with a lot of objects being thrown over the road into this already tense situation injecting himself is a far right political leader it's a mob n.v.i. who has since the last election an elected member of the israeli parliament the knesset he decided to come here and set up his office as he called it opposite a group of palestinian houses jury in this period of tension all of it centering around the threat of imminent eviction of

a group of palestinian families who've lived in these homes here in occupied east jerusalem for decades 'd. this has become a nightly scene in the east jerusalem neighborhood of shakes jura. vigils and protests aggressively broken up by israeli security forces at stake the homes of hundreds of palestinians long subject to an addiction campaign the current tensions were sparked partly by this viral video in which local woman could confront a jewish settler your mother. it was the dollar judgment of just how close minnes 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 now bill who's already had one house seized by settlers fears what could happen if the court rules against the man. who will be in the streets because all of us like me we are 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 are dealing with a domestic legal. system that. rejects and denies the international humanitarian law and international law. should be applied and is jerusalem somehow 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 rules here and their implementation. and they breach

israel's as an occupying power since the start of the holy month of ramadan tensions in east jerusalem have been unusually high from gaza hamas military wing is warning of a high price is. really actions in shape sure ah. well the israeli security forces have just been moving through the streets telling palestinians to go home shut the doors that's it for the night they're trying to convey that message however this remains a very tense situation more generally of course the most direct threat is against the occupier the occupants of the houses here the palestinian former refugees who've lived here for so long and there is a real danger that what is obviously a very imminent threats of them could spill over into a a wider and more dangerous situation would generate ok harry harry reporting from sets that russian occupied his wrists on thank you so much the international

criminal court has sentenced former ugandan militia leader dominic to 25 years in jail for war crimes and crimes against humanity he is guilty of ordering the killings of civilians and abducting children that's the spite being taken as a child himself before becoming a commander of the lord's resistance army malcolm webb reports from nairobi. he was abducted as a child and forced to commit atrocities that's now dominate congo and has been sentenced to 25 years in prison by the international criminal court the 61 crimes including murders rapes and sexual enslavement by no means does it only go on one's personal background overshadow it's culpable conduct and the suffering of the victims. it is worth repeating this again. nevertheless the specific of this case of his history of his situation cannot be put aside in deciding

whether he must be sentenced to life imprisonment for his crimes on when was a commander in the rebel lord's resistance army ostensibly it was in a conflict with uganda's government for about 3 decades but most of the violence was targeted at civilians the n.r.a. was notorious for abducting children and forcing them to become sex slaves and child soldiers or when was one of them he was taken from his home when he was about 10 years old the crimes he committed were horrific including skinning other children alive and so we told the i.c.c. that he wasn't responsible for things he was forced to do the judges didn't buy it they said as an adult he could have left the group as he was legally responsible for what he did the leader joseph koni has never been in court in spite of being pursued for more than 30 years across 4 countries by ugandans army with u.s. military support the ugandan military known as you p.d.f. has also been accused of atrocities just as campaigners welcomed on wednesday trial

and conviction but say justice for uganda's brutal civil war has been minimal so far and one sided government of uganda in spite or on your merits also and on the welling evidence of crimes committed by your p.b.s. has failed to conduct effective investigations and were incredibly created still. justice and the i.c.c. level government has core parenthood or learned about it in their dominico and kin yes i would believe that any attempt to investigate governmental troops would not receive a similar corporation and so i think it's a pragmatic decision by the court in the city of gulu considered the epicenter of the war people watch the proceedings from the calls and everyone here was affected and many say 34 years after the conflict began some justice is better than none

malcolm webb al-jazeera kristoff tet echo was an expert witness in dominick on going to trial he says 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 on grand research be tried 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 cannot 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 a child's. the democratic republic of congo's military control of the eastern provinces of north kivu an insurer that's after the president declared a state of siege against armed groups it's in response to quote cries of distress from the population but there is concern it could lead to an abuse of power reports

we are going to run into the situation for example it is a police raid. but we also hoping to have a good relationship with them the security problem here has persisted for many as with all fighting forces accused of atrocities this is the result of the latest in a spate of killings as a burial of a prominent cleric sheikh ali was opposed to the a.d.f. and its interpretation of islamic law he was killed by gunmen during evening prayers in beni he says there was no help from the government it's. in that they could have protected her husband when he was alive they did not leave it all to gort. there have been street protests against the government and the united nations for not doing enough to keep people safe tens of thousands of soldiers including un peacekeepers have been deployed over the yes but there are more than

a 100 armed groups and have had little success. we have to protect ourselves i have complained enough to the government president she said he says his decision to impose a state of siege was prompted by the suffering of those living in the 2 provinces people here say they'll wait to see if it makes a difference but they're also wary that without checks and balances the security forces could easily abuse their mandate catherine saw al jazeera. somalia is resuming diplomatic relations with kenya mogadishu has 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 al-shabaab other issues included a dispute over potential offshore oil and gas deposits still ahead on the news hour a village in southern kurdistan is left divided after

a massive police operation in brazil the neighborhood in rio de janeiro is believed to be controlled by the city's largest drug trafficking gang let's speak to a curate on a free of on was an independent journalist in brazil she is joining us from a rio de janeiro welcome to al-jazeera what can you tell us about this operation and what you've heard about it well this morning more than 200 police it's actually invaded a. local community an impoverished community made. today and. in this. whole hurt by gunfire 25 people keel in among them was one peace officer and this happened in the morning when people are going to work so in addition to that. the people who were hurt when the train as they were going to work by gunfire. and why what were the reasons given as to why this

operation was launched. well you know the the reason that the police officers always say is that it's an operation they're going to hunt down drug traffickers but the problem with this obviously is that people live in these communities these bell communities which are majority already blacks in rio de janeiro in this particular operation it up being the biggest massacre of people ever in the history of rio de janeiro 25 people what can you tell us about this particular favela. this particular to belive that is it is extremely impoverished is it is what dorothy black it is you know similar to many people that was a real hero where you know there's families who live there it's people go to work every day there are people who are suffering from the pandemic which is still killing $3000.00 people each day in in brazil so. this particular balance

is impoverished but at the same time suffers from an invasion like we see today with the bleeds how are these operations increased recently because we understand that there was a court ruling last june which restricted police action in federal laws because of the coronavirus as a mic. yes so actually in the last 2 months the operations have increased significantly and little community groups. against police violence to meet groups who provide services and he's actually went back to the supreme court to say that rio de janeiro is. following the guidelines so this this operation essentially was illegal when you call it a massacre and but according to media reports the gang that was targeted in this raid engages in drug trafficking mugging murderers and

kidnappings well when you have 200 people ensuring a community of people i think that's that's the thing you have to get into this was not an operation that took place in the middle of a empty field this was an operation that took place in the middle of the community where people lived so you know this was done by the civil police so it. would have seemed that they should have better ways to actually get to where to perhaps capture people who they might might be to. arrest instead of just killing 25 people in the process injuring innocent people will there be a fallout from all of this to thank. that's a really great question i mean these operations happening. you know almost every week in rio de janeiro almost every week someone is killed in operations somewhere

to this the fact that this is that when you have 25 people who have died might actually make a difference what i have to admit that we're 0 as a country right now that is so accustomed to death the fact that you know what the 40000 people have died from want to buyers and that we see birds like this every day is so accustomed to death that it i would be surprised if things change in the near future ok we thank you so much for speaking to us from rio de janeiro. australia says china has this isn't to suspend bilateral trade talks is disappointing beijing hole to economic dialogue and definitely using camber of a cold war mindset relations have plunged to a new low since beijing blocks 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 of the states in australia with beijing under china's belt and virgin issued it 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 its 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

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. the u.s. says it will stand with ukraine and its defense against what it calls russian aggression the secretary of state and say blinken made the pledge during talks with the ukrainian president of all of them are selenski lincoln says ukraine's battle against a russian backed separatists in the country's east is a high foreign policy priority for the president joe biden tensions escalated between the neighboring states when russia started amassing troops at the border

last month kurdistan's president is promising compensation for families whose homes were destroyed in fighting along its disputed border with. more than 50 people were killed and 60000 forced to leave sure all stratford went to x.i.i. in southern kurdistan to see what's left behind. this fall river looking south towards the primary ally mountains the road winds through a mountain landscape that kyrgyzstan until you can stand have repeatedly for water 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 toxic villages about control of a water pump escalated into a battle between 2 armies houses and schools were destroyed at least 50 people were killed and tens of thousands fled their homes then both from

a suburb i was in the house when i heard shooting in the village when the tajik soldiers came i left. close by 20 kilometers inside to kyrgyzstan is a part of tajikistan this is the border post for the tajik territory of iraq it is home to around $30000.00 statics and the area is completely surrounded by cuties territory and it has become the flashpoint for border disputes that has its roots in the soviet past. is one of 2 tragic exclave inside kilgour stan borders a complicated because soviet mapmakers drew lines between republics of the u.s.s.r. and when the soviet union collapsed they became the blueprint for boundaries of independent states through which waterways and farmland crossed. 30 years later only around half the 1000 kilometer from tear which will kill the star and tajikistan is demarcated as local populations have grown so has the competition for

land and water villages a worry to 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 living in their families one side of the village is skewed against the other is to the shooting started in the middle of the night started it by throwing stones at our soldiers or tried to flee but it was too dangerous and least 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 work by both governments to prevent another escalation reminders of how lethal this

border dispute can be litter the mountainside communities more distrustful and divided than before chance trafford al-jazeera x.i.i. southern kyrgyzstan. of already is in afghanistan say gunmen have killed a former television presenter now much more was shot while travelling in kandahar the former tolo news journalist had been working for the finance ministry is a media office his death comes as foreign troops have began withdrawing from afghanistan raising fears of increased violence. search and rescue efforts are underway in algeria after major flooding at least 10 people have been killed heavy rainfall hit several provinces over the past couple of days many properties have been damaged and cars were swept away in the province 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 prior paris climate agreement and a failure could cause an abrupt jump in the pace of ice loss by 2060 this would fuel sea level rise and place coastal cities in danger dan lowry is a glaciologist an ice sheet modeler a g.n.a.s. science in new zealand he says the surgeon's made today will be crucial to slow sea level rise. it may sound like a small thing a centimeter sea level rise but really when you think about storm surge the fact would be that those waves could reach much further inland and really impact a lot more people and 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 heats it in these ice shelves and they can no longer hold back that land based ice 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 effects 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 ice. 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 pledges are and and think of ways of which we could lower it to meet those
