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 going 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 when was one of them he was taken from his home when he was about 10 years old the crimes he committed were horrific tooting 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 coney has never been caught in spite of being

pursued for more than 30 years across 4 countries by you can his 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 one sided governmental buganda in spite or numerous calls and on the welling evidence of crimes committed by you could be and has failed to conduct effective investigations and bring crappier creators to justice and the i.c.c. led government has corporate had all the learned about in their dominico way and. i would believe that any attempt to investigate government troops would not receive a similar corporation and i think it's

a pragmatic decision by the court in the city of gulu considered the epicenter of the war people watched proceedings from the court and everyone here was affected and many say 34 years after the conflict began some justice is better than none malcolm webb al-jazeera. a democratic republic of congo's military has taken control of 2 eastern provinces for the next month the president declared a state of siege in north kivu and iterate last week to stop escalating violence between armed groups that left 300 people dead but critics worry it could lead to an abuse of power catherine storm reports. soldiers in the democratic republic of congo patrol villages in beni where the armed group allied democratic forces or a.d.f. has killed thousands of congo these in. to provinces have now been placed under military rule north kivu where rebels including the a.d.f. operates and tory ethnic militia have been fighting each other killing civilians

and displacing many more a state of siege was declared by president. last week he has put the army and police in charge of administrative court and local policing of baz 2 generals have been appointed as governess replacing those who are elected. some human rights activists say there was that civil liberties are now at risk and the forces often accused of rights violations corruption and indiscipline could exploit this new power how young we are in uncharted territory. we. want to do the situation for example with the police the raid because. what we also hoping to have a good relationship with them. the security problem here has persisted for many yes' with all fighting forces accused of atrocities this is the result of the test

in a spate of killings as a barrel of a prominent cleric sheikh ali was opposed to the a.d.f. and its interpretation of islamic law was killed by gunmen during evening prayers in benny his readers say there was no help from the government. it's the room that could have protected my husband when he was alive the did not i leave it all to gort. i have been street protests against the government and the united nations for not doing enough to keep people safe. hands of thousands of soldiers including un peacekeepers have been deployed over the yes but the op against more than a 100 groups and i've had little success the less this one up would you pick me up we have to protect us i have complained enough to the government president she said katie 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 them a catchy song al-jazeera. 6 joining us phil talk as a professor of international politics at the school of oriental and african studies in london thanks very much for being with us i wonder what you make of the decision by choosing to make this move at this point lauren i think this is a very risky move by she should carry out putting the military and the police in charge of civilian affairs in a syrian north keep her in i think it's going to be very worrying for every day congolese and those 2 provinces there's very little confidence amongst every type people about the military and the police in the past both the military the police have committed atrocities against civilians that often collaborated with many of the rebel groups who are reaching havoc in those 2 provinces so there will be some

grave doubts about that capacity of the military the police in fact to quell the violence in those 2 provinces and we could have a counter contra fight to war or to get it back far. it very much could have that the fear i think is that we might see the military the police do the kinds of things that they've been doing in these provinces over the last 10 years which is to become part of the problem rather than part of the solution that that the fear is that those government act as my simply become embroiled in the conflict i might even escalate it so that one of the real c.s. is that this might also antagonize many of the rebel groups who might want to a show of force to take on the government forces so that the real fear is that the situation could become much worse rather than better over the next month or 2 is there anything else that lies behind the decision to tell us about the politics of it. that the politics here i think is absolutely essential to understand that only 2 weeks ago she katy finally captured

a majority of the congolese palm and he's painted a long standing tussle with his predecessor joseph kabila she katie finally has the numbers in parliament to be able to do the kinds of things that he's been planning to do and i think we have to interpret what's happening in it syria north kivu is a show of force this issue katie sank finally i mean control of the country and i'm going to bring these restive eastern provinces finally to the book and i'm going to bring some stability to that that the most volatile part of the country the other thing that's going on here is that both you teary and north kivu at the moment controlled 'd by opposition parties right but have governments who've been very vocal critics of she can be so i think she should get a standing military and the police in 2 days opposition run provinces again to show that he's completely in control especially at the east of the country and that's normally for saturdays would you expect that to meet standards. i think it's almost

certain that this state of siege will much longer than those 30 days there's no you realistically possibility that the military the police can bring any peace and stability to the longstanding conflicts in these 2 provinces in such a short amount of time so i think we're going to see this military rather than civilian administration in control of it tyrian most cavers that for many many months to come thank you very much and good guy president clock appreciate your time thank you. if yes parliament has designated the former ruling party of the northern region a terrorist organization it deals a blow to the prospect of peace talks with the t.v. or a people's liberation front 6 months after fighting broke out the conflict between the central government and t p.l.f. is believed to have killed thousands and displaced more than a 1000000 people the u.s. based center for information and communication says the designation could lead to mass arrests and provide cover for persecution of the minority group.

the u.s. has vowed to stand with ukraine in its defense against what it calls russian aggression so sure state and enabling conveyed the pledge during talks in kiev with president lot of misery let's keep he said washington is actively looking at increasing security assistance for ukraine tensions escalated last month when russia conducted large scale military exercises near the border with ukraine we look to russia to cease and aggressive actions will continue to strengthen our security partners in close cooperation with you to make sure that our ukraine and our defend itself against against aggression we're aware that russia is withdrawing some forces from the border but we also see that significant forces remain remain there c.p.b. of equipment remains there for monitoring the situation very very closely florida has become the latest republican run u.s. state to restrict voting by mail governor on dissent is signed in the law which

imposes new id rules live on the right wing fox news channel having barred other media texas lawmakers are poised to vote on a similar bill and one has already been passed by the republican controlled legislature in georgia it follows former president donald trump's unfounded claims about mail in ballot fraud. but you just groan diana is a voting rights expert and executive director of the advancement project national office she joins us via skype from washington d.c. thank you for joining us i wonder what you think the the effect will be of the changes for example in florida well thank you for having me and what gov dissent is and the republican legislature is trying to do is to make it harder for people to vote what we saw in this country and 2020 was record turnout of voters and what has happened is that republicans especially at the state level have

moved to make sure that that doesn't happen again because they don't like the people who actually turned out places like georgia where you had african-americans turning out in record numbers so now there is this effort to make it harder to vote because they saw too many people coming out and because we know that the changing demographics of the united states shows that black and brown people are increasingly numbers and that we will probably see a shift in power and so this is as are surging just i just want to sort of pin you down on me that the republicans would argue that if the laws are applied to everyone and their people are properly informed then that isn't necessarily discriminatory what exactly which particular bits of the bill would wouldn't would make it difficult for particular groups to vote. short well what they've done is that they they actually with rescission looked at the laws that affected black

voters in particular so for example in texas the they had a drive through voting in houston texas where over 127 boaters mostly black and latino voted they want to get rid of them or it early voting cutting back on early voting hours that they know black voters used in places like georgia and in florida they want to get rid of that or limit that and so this really is about the ways in which we expanded voting that black and latino voters took in famine are the things that they're rolling back various groups of have decided to sue or to counter-sue against these measures how likely is it they'll succeed well i mean i think we you know we still have the voting rights act even though the supreme court has weakened it and groups like advancement project we have been using it and we will continue to use it and so

we're going to fight around these that around these bills we're going to buy back and then in the end what will happen is the voters are going to get rid of the people who want. them the people who want to make it harder to vote and so this is a $12.00 punch we're going to be soon in court but we're also going to be turning out the vote to get rid of the people who are attacking our democracy just brown diana thank you very much in a field perspective thank you thank you. french and british naval ships are living waters near the island of jersey after a major dispute over fishing rights escalated rapidly and is mostly due to bricks it at issue are new licenses that the island which is part of the british isles imposed last week french fisherman say the rules make it harder for them to operate in waters they've worked in for generations and i was on board one of the french fishing boats. nighttime in the normandy ports of cathay and off to some final

elections for the scottish and welsh parliaments we've had london assembly elections we've had an election for the london mayor that's one of 13 merril actual merrill elections around 143. english councils comprising of roughly 5000 councillor seats up for grabs 39 police and crime commissioners and one election a by election for a westminster m.p. that's for the hot little constituency where i am the count for that is going on in the leisure sense of behind me seeing cars driving up unloading bags of ballot papers from the boots and taking them into be counted why does all of this matter world is the 1st chance really to take the political temperature of the country since the conservatives and boris johnson won that thumping 80 seat majority back in 2019 it's also a chance to have

a look at the support for independence movements in scotland and in wales and it's a chance to see whether labor the main opposition party in the u.k. is as politically unappealing to the electorate under its new leadership of kiss starmer as it was under its old leadership of jeremy called the new got soundly defeated in that 2019 general election and the region where you are significant to talk us through why that is important in this election also a bit more on on the scottish situation. one of the key features of the 2019 general election was the crumbling of the so-called red wall that was this belt of former industrial constituencies across wales and northern england who previously had been pretty solidly labor voting. a good many of those fellows have been conservatives in

2019 hardly pull didn't it was one of the few that held out and so this is a bit of a litmus test to see whether that red wall is still crumbling or whether. they are going to be able to kind of storm the blood loss essentially and i think you know if you're a betting person you would say it's probably going to fall to the conservatives as well the bookies seem to think so anyway. this is the downside many many france's breck's it's though perhaps one of them or at least a catalyst for people to abandon perhaps generations old political allegiances. and change sides essential i think labor a pretty pessimistic about how this election is going to be going to start the new leader of labor i don't think he would resign if they do lose this seat he's

basically said that labor's resurrection is ribble a taishan is going to take a bit more time than he's had at the helm so far but also if you're as you say you go looking further north north of the border there's. elections going on for the scottish parliament nicholas sturgeon the scottish national party they're being scrutinised at the moment various scandals that they've had going on and as i said just previously it's a chance to have a look and see whether the movement for scottish independence post bracks it is gathering steam or losing momentum. thank you very much indeed. the u.k. is one of 5 european nations that urged israel to stop its plan for further settlements in the west bank comes as the country's supreme court considers whether to hear an appeal by 4 palestinian families threatened with eviction from their homes a 70 year dispute over the site has led to not

a protest in occupied east jerusalem as harry for said explains. 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 who are 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 end of year 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. this has become

a nightly scene in the east jerusalem neighborhood of shakespeare or. vigils and protests aggressively broken up by israeli security forces at stake the homes of hundreds of palestinians long subject to an eviction campaign the current tensions were sparked partly by this viral video in which local woman could confront a jewish settler your mother married her here's someone else it was the acknowledgement of just how close moon has 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 the man lebanon that a lot of the valium 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 in 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 international humanitarian law and international law should be applied than is judaism an argument that requires political pressure 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 are on fire 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 shakespeare are the consequences of a massive action here could be felt well beyond the families under threat of losing their homes. and israeli security forces and are going through telling people to go home shut the doors trying to convey the message that that is it for the night but that isn't it for this very tense situation which has been expanding over recent days the most imminent threat of course is to the palestinians who have been living in these homes for decades facing now imminent eviction but there is also a danger of a spillover of the situation more broadly are a force that al-jazeera occupied east jerusalem. a former t.v. news anchor has been shot dead in broad daylight in southern afghanistan in the metro on who moved to work the finance ministry a month ago it was killed in the city of kandahar as the latest in
