how much is welcomed by palestinians. but israel denounced as shameful. so as it went, cooperate, united states wanted further action against you in eritrea. as a conflict in the region, the worsening humanitarian crisis. grave risk for political candidates in mexico, dozens and murdered in violent blame on criminal guy. ah said hong kong media type jimmy lie has just got more jail time for his role, an anti government protest in 2019 the pro democracy activists and billionaire and said another 14 months added to his prison turn. 73 year old has already been behind, boston's december serving another 40 months sentence on similar trends were frozen earlier this month under sweeping national security laws imposed by china. 7 other activists have also been sentence. let's call straight away to joseph chang,

who's the former convener of the alliance for true democracy in hong kong, in joins us from camber via skype, joseph cheng festival. what do you make of this? what's your reaction to these sentences? well, the sundays are exceptionally harsh because prosecutions against ego assembly and organizations go with some re which were open and then and tiredly non balance say for 5 years ago would only attract sentences. all community service now is because in terms up to 18 months, in the eyes of the pro democracy movement, it's the court case as well as d as a whole similar series of prosecutions actually mean dad. above the majority of the problem,

democracy activates the leaders and now being detained in prison and so on. and meaning that the chinese authorities do not intend to allow any room for the more basic systems for the movements activities. and there are deals within the movement that perhaps put them across the parties, so dispatch and become, and joe's. and there are strong views of the movement that activists are no longer take part in the future actions at various levels. so one joe or cell sense now then despite all the activism that is being shown, the chinese authorities, it clearly clamping down very hard. and despite the fight, do you think that the, the one country to system principal is doomed ultimately? well, all the re, hong kong people now often make the following statements. a,

the one country to systems model has been terminated. and in fact, the perception of, say, international assessment agencies like the wall street journal was in that soft economic freedom and so on. and the other men often made disparate, hong kong is not the place but you recognize before. so there is obviously no checks and balances in hong kong and be neutrality, the police, the new facility of the political judicial system. and now very much in doubt, in the eyes of the ordinary people. what about the international community? have they done enough? does more needs, more implants need to be brought back from the outside people and actually welcome model is support from the international community. and you've been sanctions

against shows, concerned, but day is also an understanding that day is a limit to what international public opinion connects. he thought to be when the tiny so far be prepared to pay the price so to speak, to expect and international sanctions of limited pipe. so basically, hong kong people understand that they are into a very, very difficult period of time in the future years, at least in the coming 3 or 5 years. the general book is very touch pesa mistakes or the phone calls. people certainly do not intend to give up and they remain angry is satisfied and defined. ok. adjacent tell you. we appreciate your time. thanks for joining us today. just jang, hong kong pro democracy campaign. thanks. thank you. and human rights counts was voted in favor of investigating where the crimes were committed during the 11 day

conflict between israel and palestine. it will have a broad mandate with no expiry date to look into all alleged violations and systemic abuses. palestinians, welcome the move, but israel describes it a shameful person. silly me reports now from the un in new york, as palestinians in gaza. look for away forward amid attend, sees fire with israel. the un human rights council is looking back at the conflict and how it played out. the organization of islamic cooperation along with palestinians requested an investigation into possible violations of international law. a masses, indiscriminate rocket fire into israel was a clear one. according to high commissioner for human rights, michelle bash lay, but she says israel's response which killed 254 people, including 66 children, might also qualify as a war crime. this by israel clean the menu, is building one hosting arm group or be used for military purposes. we have not

seen evidence in this regard. such slight re serious concerns of wild compliance with the principal distinction and proportionality under the international. the council voted 24 to 9 to open investigation. israel however, refuses to participate another shameful day for the un human rights council, which not only defamed democracy, trying to protect its people. but it, what washes a brutal genocidal terrorist organization that don't only indiscriminately attacks is ready civilians, but abuses palestinian civilians in gather using them as human shields. the u. s. who secretary of state recently visited the region and other western allies, did not support the move saying it threatened to imperil recent progress towards peace, but the palestinian authority and hamas. welcome the move out of those. what happened in the gaza strip is

a fully fledged war. crime that the world watched happen on their television. now we need a further step to be taken, which is to actually punish the occupation, but away from the politics. many see this investigation as important for shutting light on the ongoing struggle of palestinians under occupation. what has come up and this coming up in this room, guys, concert is the tackling and investigation of what is called the root causes of the recent round of bivens. and these are the institutionalized discrimination and the method oppression that israel imposes on palestinians. this is of the heart of what is happening right now. the united nation has been down this road before on israel and palestine since 2005, the human rights council has had 9 sessions on the situation in gaza. and while israel sees this as bias, others in the international community see it as evidence that something has to change. kristen salumi al jazeera, the united nations, or reaction among palestinian people has been skeptical as need to. abraham

finding were it's implemented that's alone. the human rights council. so across generations, we're seeing more and more frustration when it comes to the international community . the ability to change things on the ground for palestinian. that's why they say they only have themselves to rely on. the united nations is asking for $95000000.00 in an emergency appeal for garza to cover humanitarian needs for the next 3 months . the money is mainly for rebuilding or repairing hospital schools and sewage and wards facilities. aid has been trickling in on thursdays, hundreds of people lined up for goods sent from egypt. the united states is putting more pressure on it to end its violence in its northern to gray region. the country is washington's most important ally in the horn of africa. a senior white house officials warning of new sanctions and says the region risks from and if the conflict continues unofficial, has its report fighting glucose to any c o p as

but it has dismissed us interference in its internal affairs. the us invoice to the region is headed back the next week, hoping strong messages from washington might force a change on the ground island fisher. i'll just see the capitol hill. so head here and i'll 0 will tell you why the french president asked for london for forgiveness on a visit to the country. and some graveyards in iran are running out of space as a nation struggles to cope with the growing crow virus death toll. ah, how i once again welcome to the look at the international forecast. enjoy the weather across the middle east as per usual snow, great changes here. it is hot even for the middle east. having said that, 48 celsius and q weight at 43, the in doha was still about 40 celsius for most,
