ah, when ever you ah, ah, the united states piles the pressure on demanding further action to the crisis and millions displaced and in desperate need of a ah, hello again, i'm kim all santa maria here in doha with the world news from al jazeera. russia is warning of delays for flights coming from europe. a tit for tat mentioned escalator, but for slamming of a passenger jet in min. also, hong kong media tycoon,

jimmy lives sentence yes. again for his role in the 2019 anti paging protests and fatal politics. why so many regional candidates in mexico local elections? i've been killed. ah. so the u. n's top refugee agency is expressed. it's a growing concern about the crisis and ethiopia, northern to great region. there are reports, hundreds of refugees have been taken from displacement camps by soldiers. despite the increasing pressure from the united states for ethiopian government to bring about an immediate end to the violence or to face how sanctions will start with a report from alan fischer on capitol hill fighting broken t o p s t great region 6 months ago. if you open trips back by allies, the energy and army claimed the t great people's liberation front was behind the tax on e. c o, p, and military bases. u. s. s. in the us government has

a strong ally in the horn of africa, but is growing frustrated that the scale of the fighting, the senate foreign relations committee was told, the situation is horrific. with thousands dead, we estimate that there are approximately 2000000 internally displaced persons. 63000 refugees and 5200000 people in urgent need of assistance. the united states condemns in the strongest terms, the brutal killings, sexual violence, including gang rape, forced removals want destruction of civilian property. and there is a stock warning the war could spark ethiopia as far as the famine in more than 40 years in ki gray. after more than 6 months of hostilities, approximately $5200000.00 people are in need of assistance out of a total population of $6000000.00. approximately 2000000 of them are children. joe biden wants me to cease by the senate has unanimously called for the withdrawal of if you will be in troops,

secretary of state antony blank and says what is happening in the gray amongst 2 ethnic cleansing. but with testimony of brittle sexual assaults as well. the us isn't ready to declare war crimes are being committed just yet. we are acutely aware of the need to determine whether the conduct meets the legal standards for atrocity crimes. and we are really and we are acutely waiting for that determination. we haven't any of us. we believe in fact, these are war crimes and crimes against humanity. so and i understand the concerns of such a designation, but we cannot turn blindly away when such things happen in the world. yoyo has been one that faces strong economic sanctions if the fighting continues, but it has dismissed us interference in its internal affairs. us invoice to the region is headed back the next week, hoping strong messages from washington. white force

a change on the ground island fisher. i'll just see the capitol hill. now the red cross also says people into gray are at risk of severe long term food shortages ahead of the planting. seeds in farming, essential like seeds and fertilizer running low unionization, is providing supplies to the 40 villages in the region. but the constant threat of violence means working on that land has become difficult. you know, when it's mostly since october 25th, we've been living in fear how children are suffering. we are fearful. whenever we hear the sound of corrugated iron, we all run thinking it's gunshot. we run to the hills and mountains where the situation has heard us a lot. we all left our homes with nothing, and our children have been exposed to different diseases. there is no school. all the children and women are hiding in the mountains. and on top of that, about a quarter both schools in today have been damaged by the conflict, according to

a report from human rights watch. it's documented attacks by all sides. and also it uses government troops of using a high school as a military base. witnesses also reported seeing troops bringing women into the school who would leave badly beaten days later and see from the teacher. beta human rights watch is horn of africa director. and one of the authors of that report, she says they have called on the government to stop the practice of occupying schools. what our report shows is that who are warring parties have been implicated in attacking, pillaging, but also occupying schools across the p k region. now we hone in on one particular school, which is a very historic school in the capital of the region mckinley, which is the actually your homie school where we basically find, found that for months and on 2 separate occasions, european government forces occupied the score. but not only be occupied it,

they 40 find it, they use state has a key watchtower and based in the capital mckelly. but they also destroyed a lot of property and find it and pillaged much of the property in the school. so this is not only an impact on school children's ability to receive an education now, but also has a much longer term impact on school children's ability to, to, to receive the education they've been missing for the last 6 months. key part of this is obviously going to be ensuring accountability for the abuses which these communities have seen happen. as i said, there is a real fear of returning to school because forces that have abused and have destroyed the schools often around on to other news and russian ational thought of announced that any flight from europe and avoid bell russian s space may have to wait longer to lands many european airlines,

a steering clear of bill or it's now after the forced landing of a passenger jet in mince last week. a battle races accused of facing a bomb threat in order to bring that plane down to the ground and arrested a journal who was on board journalist taken the european union has imposed sanctions on. beller is, but russia is standing by its allies where we challenge keeping across the story for us from london. can you explain a little more what the russians mean when they say planes may have to wait longer to land? yeah, essentially they according this just a technical issue and they're working to resolve. it's the context to this is that over the last couple of days, a couple of european airlines, f, france being one and australian australian adeline being another have basically had the permit. so they apply for to land in russia, deny to them by the russian or authorities effectively meeting the,

the flights had to be cancelled. and what this does and this new develop would develop, which is that rose ivy. i see the russian ideation agency is saying that the planes, dest info, russia, are leaving from russia that are essentially changing the flight path to circumvent better, ruth might well have delays to the granting of those permits. the russians are saying this is to be technical, that will not be the perception in european capitals, which will see this as a political response from russia to what is a political situation involving batteries and the rest of the romantic protest. save it, the criminal saying that, you know, this shouldn't get in a way of european and russian relations, but of course it is. and of course it will. and this will be putting european

adeline's on notice essentially that if they are going to be flying around batteries, then they're going to have problems getting into russia. the kremlin. demitra prescott, his criminal spokesperson, the said that they welcome an investigation from the civil aviation or authority international aviation civil aviation organization. but that one to many investigations. and that they can actually get the right kind of information that they need essentially from the horses mouth. because alexander luc shanker, the presence of batteries is flying to saatchi the russian southern city, where he is going to be having meetings today with vladimir present. so interesting . okay, thank you for that, rory challenge in london. meanwhile, the better russian opposition lead us atlanta to sky. it is in the netherlands all set to meet the dutch prime minister there and is calling on nations to isolate fellers, by using sanctions, the battle russian president, alexander, look shank has crack down on the protests against his rule. i will check in with

step wanston, who's in the hague in the netherlands. step, tell us more about what's expected from this visit while the woman, many in better with regard as their electorate precedents. the atlanta taken off. gaia has so walked into this building behind me issues meeting the prime minister, denellin marco, and also foreign minister guy. and of course, high on the agenda is what you will be and lead us very angrily have called the hijacking of the ryan airplane. and also the rest of the c h and so yes, a big go his girlfriend, they are both detained and also seen as being badly beaten and very ill treated. so there was a lot of concern here in the european union. they immediately called for sanctions closing. the base not blocking the flight and so, so sublime, not picking sky is here to make sure that the sanctions now this time around will

be much more serious than they were previously. because already more than 80 people organizations, business people, politicians are on the sanctions list. for many months already off, so the correct down that happened last year and bella was but so far that doesn't seem to have had any impact. so she already said before she came here to the hague, that more needs to be done. statements are fine, a prime minister, it has also call to on the location, go to step down. he said, we are all set up. the european leaders are fed up with him, but she says these statements are not enough. directed sanctions should be implemented, where the regime, it really is, is going to feel a lot of these things on the table are the fertilize effect. we've been scholarly, a very important source of income for the regime. and that's also on the tables among european lead us. so we'll hear from all of them very soon. i hope. okay, well talk to again then step austin in the hague. and then use

a head as israel rejects the un call for an independent investigation into possible war crimes and gather the reality on the ground is all too clear for those displaced. and molly's military says detained. a transitional leaders have been freed. thing is, where are they? ah, ah, it's time for the journey with sponsored by cut on airways. hello. we got some very heavy rain stretch across southern parts of charges. might you, france, of course, and in fact, 97 rivers are at warning level and we are going to see further heavy rain here. over the next couple of days you go, there's a front stage 3 weather system which will bring further spells of very wet weather and across central and southern parts of china over the next couple of days. better news for japan. those are system makes his way out into the open waters for the

a message between us and the people that there is one thing going on between them and message by hand to, to engage the people in all its actions and to pay tribute to their relatives and kids who have been killed in the sport. ok, thank you for the update from gaza human outside. now the hong kong media tycoon jimmy lie has been given another prison sentence for taking part in the anti paging protests of 20. 19 the part of the because the activists, billionaire is already serving a 14 month jail term on similar charges. 7 other leading activists were also centered lies, assets were frozen from under waging national security law. here is more from katrina, you in beijing. the sentence handed down this 14 months in prison was for protests

. you took part in october 2019 and that protest was opposing communist party rule . in the 70th anniversary of its rule here in china. but he was already serving a jail sentence the earlier protest. so this now will extend his term in jail by about 6 months. and jimmy wasn't the only one sentenced to day on those. on friday, there were about 9 others, also handed down sentences including formal, lo make albert home. and they were given sentences from ranging from 12 months to 18 months and to given suspended sentences. but this is certainly not the 1st time jimmy ly is going to face court. he's due again in june. actually he faces a raft of other charges. also illegal assembly charges, but also more concerning lay charges under the national security will. and if found guilty of these charges, he could face life imprisonment. now china really does seem to be making an example

of jimmy ly. this is a spectacular fall from grace for him. he's a 1000000000 are millionaire, like a 1000000000 a tycoon who started the poor democracy newspaper, apple daily. he also founded very successful clothing chain. and really, the chinese government seems to think that he's some sort of traitor, a threat to the piece of stability in hong kong. and we've seen his assets frozen earlier this month than just this week. also backs dealing in his accounts were warned not to touch his accounts. otherwise they 7 years in jail. here is emily lau the chair. woman of the international affairs committee of the democratic party of hong kong. a former member of the cities legislative council who was calling on the international community to keep their focus on hong kong. i feel very sad, of course, to see so many of my colleagues being given such long sentences. well, they admitted to taking part in an authorized assembly, but it was peaceful. they napa calling on the participants to resort to violence.

although of course i me to on that day they were things of violence, but they did not call me for that. and it's very sad that they are given such long sentences. i want the international community to know that we in hong kong, we will continue to struggle. so human rights, the rule of all personal safety and put democracy in, in i don't to be very, very difficult circumstances with our being taken away. many people are very afraid of getting arrested and thrown into prison. that is hanging over and it's, it's not necessary. so boss, majority of the hong kong piece people just one trying to on the problem is that the joint and the basic know the back i will

i will write up know this is what we will fight full little bit more on the situation in israel palestine now the un human rights council is to investigate potential war crimes during the 11th a conflict between israel and have us look into allegations of abuse on all sides across the occupied territory. and israel allister indians. welcome to move. israel has called it shameful. still salumi reports and the un in new york as palestinians in gaza. look for away forward amid a 10 seas 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. her 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 $254.00 people,

including $66.00 children, might also qualify as a war crime. this by israel cleans the menu, is building one hosting arm groups or be used for military purposes. we have not seen evidence in this regard. such slight re serious concerns of these 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 you in human rights council. which not only defamed democracy trying to protect its people. but it what washes, a brutal genocidal terrorist organization. the 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 happened on their television. now we need to further step to be taken, which is to actually punish the occupation of that. but away from the politics. many see this investigation as important for shedding light on the ongoing struggle of palestinians under occupation. what has come up and this coming up in this room guys, council is the tackling and investigation of what is called the root causes of the recent round of violence. and these are the institutionalized discrimination and the method oppression that israel imposes on palestinians. this is at 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 of the west african regional block eco us, is calling an emergency meeting to discuss the political crisis. in molly misses after the army overthrew the interim president and prime minister and military says the 2 men have been released from detention after agreeing to resign. the thing is neither of them has been seen. nicholas hawk has moved from the capitol panica. molly's president, bow endow, had it coming, says, but your bundle jara, 9 months after taking power. the security social and economic situation is getting worse. he says after a 3 day detention at military camp in county, the pm and president announced their resignation with emily. t jones now claims they've been released, bondo, president bondo needed to go for the sake of the country. they seem incapable of

running the nation's affairs, taking incoherent decisions in the lead up to the pm in president's arrest. the country's largest trade union organized nationwide strikes and the government was accused of failing to address their grievances among those protesting is teacher get a. we met him in 20193 years on his demands for what he calls. decent wages have still not been met. no reason to give up what we want is a government that delivers the promises made up. and if they don't, we will protest, even if it means the downfall of the government, who just before the agenda over through president kita last august, crowds looted homes of politicians and destroyed the national assembly in the national assembly is just to throw away. we cannot film it because its being guarded by military government has become a symbol of not the rule of law, but rather read and corruption with many here believing that elected official

well off the back of the mountain people. instead of taking the interest that would be in the military june, his action has drawn international condemnation. the west african body echo was threat and sanctions. as molly delved into a deeper crisis in its struggle to fight off armed groups, young mountains are upset with their leaders, inability to lead states ameliorating to see the way our military is acting in a country at war. or congress should be fighting under frontline for a country not for government positions. 60 years after gaining independence from frowns, molly is still dependent on french and un troops to ensure security that the state has so far failed to provide. gara is among those millions who see in this crisis an opportunity to bring back a strong state that works not against but for the peaceful. meantime, he says some sacrifices have to be made. green pay says illegal. gold mining

is slowly destroying brazil. largest reserve for indigenous people. environmental organisation is released aerial photographs showing the scale of the damage in the northern yana mommy reserve activists believe as many as $20000.00 prospectors are operating the illegal money is increased under president jive l scenario because the reserve is too big. he wants to legalize mining in the area and while the navy candidates for next month local elections in mexico have been murdered, the president blames criminal gangs. we've got this 1st report from the area now john holman, in mitchell, can state on how drugs cartels and gangs of fighting for control when, when a local candidate come away in mexico's film, the video to start his campaign, he didn't expect that the shot summed up the major issue in the biggest elections in mexican history, in

a little more than a week, most positions in the country will be voted on minus the presidency and criminal groups of fighting to get their candidates into power, wiping out rivals. there have been more than 80 politicians killed during the campaign. always going to come up with i was, this is a truck of memo valencia running for mayor of morelia on a security platform. he wasn't in it that he himself was accused of involvement with the car. so when he was a met in one of mit because most violent regions, 8 years ago, he maintains that they're clean. governance is all but impossible. i want keepers and they are. but as soon as they got their municipalities with 3 cartels operator, imagine a life of an official there between a rock and a hard place. finally, on the one hand, the presence of really dangerous mental groups and on the other, the different,

the authority of that could go from many of the most violent parts of the country. but politicians aren't just victims. they can be benefits deciding with the criminals to power money in certain regions. it can seem like everyone's in on the game. those questions arose again when it emerged of the candidate for the ruling party, morena, the measure of the town of wit tumble, was wanted by the us drug enforcement agency, the d. e. a. we went, that was kim. why is that exactly? why i'm on that list. i don't know, but i think it's because of a situation that my father lived through once upon a time. i deny categorically that i'm a criminal but were helpful to you. does recognise the criminal groups have a grip of politics in his state. there are many public officials specifically michoacan that have looted the municipality, and that directly linked to other criminal groups whoever gets into office a mix because violent hinterlands is likely to feel the threat and lieu of

organized crime. that can only be bad news to democracy. mexico citizens john home and i'll do it a michu account. that's the news report. there is a full news special coming up and you can see the premier of that with john holman, the full report living in mexico's killed zone $930.00 gmc sunday. may the 30th right here on al jazeera, ah, and these are the top stories. the u. s. refugee agency is deeply concerned by reports that hundreds of people have been taken by soldiers from camps in ethiopia, northern t gray region. the u. s. is warning sanctions against the government could be imposed. also the red cross says people in t gray are at risk of severe long term food shortages ahead of the planting season . farming is.
