kimberly how kits. who's across this forest from the u. s. the kimberly, with the bided ministration is still dealing with the full out from events in afghanistan. this is likely not going to be welcome news in washington. there is no question that this is being viewed as an attempt to pressure the biden administration. and that's why we see strong statements coming out from not only the state department, also from the defense secretary, as well as the department of defense which has issued this statement, saying that it is aware and it is certainly monitoring this in conjunction with us allies. they say that at the moment the united states does not perceive that any us personnel, or any us areas that are being monitored by the united states are in immediate threat. but the united states, underscoring that they believe that this was to get a highlights. the d, stabilizing impact of north korea is weapons program. now,
4:05 pm
the white house or the binding ministration, rather goes on further to say that once again, the united states is reaffirming in support and defense and security partnership with raleigh, south korea, but also japan. now, the state department went a little further. it is condemning the actions of north korea saying that this missile launches in violation of a number of un security council resolutions. now, there is this recognition once again from the state department that the neighboring areas and country are in the view of the united things, not at immediate risk from the actions of north korea. but at the same time, the white house was once again inviting north korea to take a diplomatic approach. in other words, what they're saying is that there is room for discussion right now. they do hope that there will be an engagement dialogue. and this is something that has been installed since 2019, when north korea rejected the sort of effort of the united states and said it was
4:06 pm
not willing to provide sanctions relief. and as a result, there is this pushed by the united states to try and get diplomatic talks go. and once again, no doubt the latest efforts by the north koreans with this missile lodge very clearly tried to pressure the biden administration. but again, worrying escalation here in washington. kimberly, thank you. kimberly how can live in washington for us? we'll turn into afghanistan and that spin, one month since the taller bon seized the capital cobble and took control of the government after military success. it is now facing the challenge of creating a durable administration. the country's economy is in ruins. unemployment is high and according to the world food program, up to 14000000 people on the brink of starvation, decades of war have also displaced tens of thousands of afghans who need urgent humanitarian aid to survive. the global community, which has pledged more than $1000000000.00 in aid,
4:07 pm
says it will hold the taller bond to its promises on upholding human rights. well, some have been job aid has more from com. in the last 4 weeks, what people have gotten has been telling us if there has been a welcome change of at least a lot more security, all the checkpoints are gone. they don't have to pay bribes in the street. they can drop on their mobile phones as they walked in the street, and they're not scared anymore. that is one thing which they say is positive on the other side. in the last 4 weeks, their economy has gone from bad to worse. we were a few minutes ago in a central district where there were hundreds of people been lining in front of the bank all over the city to try and get some cash. if you do get to get inside the bank, you can only redraw about $200.00 every week. now, good. most of the employees we spoke to the from the government. they were policemen. they were military official and they were civil servant who haven't been paid for months. where we are right now is
4:08 pm
a market which is popped up on both sides of the road. as over 100000 people have left this country and there are lots others who are trying to make ends meet, who are trying to pay their monthly bills, their electricity bills, their rents, and they are selling their household items. you can see in this market the washing machines, refrigerators, son, carpet, every everyday item that people could sell to try and make a quick fuck. so they can put food on the table. and that seems to be the biggest challenge that the incoming government of the coverage is being to face. the rights of women on the title bar rule is a major area of international concern. look full looks is a research and political analyst. he says, allowing women to receive an education is a step in the right direction. a few days ago, the minister for hydrogen cation announced that the women's are allowed to get to the kitchen to get it for as long as they want. and if i think a big fight or leave for the at least the women and apart from that they have
4:09 pm
a signal that they will deserve or, or restrict darius of women in son as well for the even the kind of been or is not completed. and if you go down to the go to the structure of the administration, they also see that they can come to work, but they are now doing things the newton from new policy for them in order for them to be able to participate in the public sector. in the administration and within the, the principles of islam of the call that i think is a considerable relaxation in flexibility on the part of the dollar bond for a woman's space in the, in the public sphere. so i think in the future the future is going to be good for them. and then it would be allowed to work to part of severe and the goldman sachs
4:10 pm
private sector. and it went to india to get together and talk about says it is training as fighters to form a new military force to defend afghanistan and acting army commanders. as consultations are on the way to create a professional army. tabano said he won't tolerate any foreign interference in its domestic affairs. plenty more ahead on this news, including the 1st trial and it's kind of for my customer, nutri come on days in court to face war crimes charges. 85 minutes to find the chief prosecutor recommended that he be charged over the fascination of late president jovan al mois. late to explore what a suspension that crushed this prince's limpid dream could eventually bring about change details coming up later in the show. ah.
4:11 pm
a former kosovo military commander, salise from stoffer is in court to face war crimes charges. it is the 1st trial to be heard in the coast was special chambers, and you backcourt set up in the netherlands in 2015. let's take a look at the events leading up to this trial for the coast of liberation, army commander. he is accused of murder, torture, cruel treatment, and arbitrary detention of civilians. during the conflict with serbia in 1919 because of a war began as a rebel movement in 1998 among ethnic albanians. they believed an armed resistance would end serve is refreshing. the war lasted 15 months and ended when serbian forces withdrew. after 11 weeks, nato bombing campaign, roughly 13000 people were killed. let's talk more about this now with florian beaver. he is a director of the center for se european studies of the university of grass, and is also professor of se european history and politics. he joins us from grass
4:12 pm
in our austria, thanks for being with us. so how is this trial likely to be viewed in coastal given that lee must offer at the time of his arrest was serving as an advisor to the defense ministry there. well, generally in cost of all the fighters of the constable liberation armies have been seen as heroes and any attempt to indict them or suspect of war crimes is of been met with public criticism and resistance. that is way to some degree in recent years. the kind of glorification of their acts is not as strong as it used to be. and more people are willing to conceive that, you know, while the overall might have a, you know, the justice on their side, that war crimes were committed. but certainly, it's not going to be a popular trial in constable itself. how and how is this likely to affect
4:13 pm
relations between serbia and castillo, and ongoing dialogue, and as much as there is one? well yes, as you rightly point out, there is much of a dialogue. certainly serbia has argued over a long time that you know they are, there aren't enough cases brought against suspected war criminals on the coastal side. and this was one of the failings of the international criminal tribunal for, for me was lobby not to be able to really sentence any cost of liberation, army soldiers and commanders where it was clear that some war crimes had been committed not to the same scale. and intensity as though by the serbian army that it's quite clear, but they had also committed war crimes. so certainly it will make it may be easier to take this issue of the agenda, but talks are quite polarized. so i think we can expect them to be continued to be very difficult. and of course, the cases and their results might also polarize the public and constable. so it
4:14 pm
might also make it more difficult to find a solution in the dialogue. so certainly they're going to be impacting it. and of course this is just the 1st case. there are many more cases coming up, including several more high profile ones, for example, against former cost of president, how she thought she was been indicted. who is the most prominent member of the previous costs awards, situations of the government who has been indicted by the specialist chambers. so i think we're going to see a number of these cases impacting the data between serbian cost 20 years to come. yeah, i was going to ask you a little bit more about when we could expect other cases like this and where this particular case, a silly stuff fits into the, the whole picture of the various accusations of war crimes during that war. well, i mean, as i've said, this is just the 1st case, and this is, it is sort of way the way of the specialist chambers to prove it legitimacy. they were created a controversial environment. they were created up to be,
4:15 pm
as i mentioned, the i c t y is not sentenced many cost of all billions of any cars while billions really for, for war crimes. so their role was to try to work through those alleged war crimes, which domestic courts were unable to do, but because of what they were seen, often as being some kind of unfair justice of being in a certain way, pro serbian. so the court has to prove itself, so this case is important there. and indeed the subsequent cases, including the one against my president, are likely to be even more politicizing considering that they are much more this political parties behind it. but also again, this case we're having was the 5 been it was part of the kind of close knit network of leaders of the course of liberation army might try to light on other leaders of the cost of liberation, army many of whom are taking or have taken high position in the course of the state and in leading political parties. so this is going to have repercussions for
4:16 pm
domestic politics as well. good to talk to you florian, be the by the for recaptured, palestinian prisoners have met their lawyers for the 1st time since they were called. they appeared separately in court on saturday. the prosecutors seeking to add 15 more years to their sentences. they say the escapees were planning an attack . the 6 escaped via tunnels dug under a sink in gilbert prison in northern israel. last monday search the 2 remaining in may 15th. 6 the eighty's prime minister ariel only has sacked the chief prosecutor who wanted him charged over the murder of president jovan our voice. the prosecutor had also asked immigration agents to fall
4:17 pm
the prime minister from leaving the country. president noise was assassinated in july. court documents indicate on re was called twice in the hours after his death by one of the main suspects. michael dba is an author and journalist who is covered hated for almost 25 years. he says there's a lot of skepticism about how the investigation into the president's death is being handled. is an extremely convoluted state of affairs. as you mentioned, the president murdered now a little over 2 months ago. and it's quite clear from the circumstance that certainly his inner security was compromised, essentially to, to be assassinated by, by allegedly, by mercenary, and what it's been swelling around or do things do in his inner circle, security and politically was involved in his burger and who the intellectual and financial offers were and so that made his development whereby the chief prosecutor
4:18 pm
was essentially calling sitting quite minister to be indicted. pretty much golden. the burner and the private esther sacking that prosecutor as just added to do your the, to me all the prime minister himself is ruling if you can recall xtreme lee, i guess you might say questionable gentlemen. he was named by a president. many had accused of staying over overstaying his term office and had not been officially invested in that in that position before job it on ways. and so the court, the question of the gentleman i think is really up in the air right now. we're about to be there's a lot of doubt among people in terms of whether this will be allowed to run its course. i mean, most of the people have been arrested so far. i don't think anyone seriously thinks that they were the real money. that was a real intellectual office crime. oh, aid from carter is finally being distributed in the gaza strip after
4:19 pm
a long delayed delivery of the much needed support was put on hold after the conflict between hamis in israel and may. you'll not say it has more the united nation begins today to distribute the country is funded $8.00 to $4.00 families hearing because this trip, where more than $100000.00 for the fisheries are to benefit from this country 8th, which has been on hold. the may conflict between her mother and iraq since the 2014 war, hundreds of millions has been funded by cutter to poor families in because the stress that have been on hold since the may conflict between him and israel and is being with you now through the united nations, the 700 points where the u. one has chosen to distribute this country, gran are immobile shop supermarkets and even money exchange shop. these. this is the new process that the us has chosen to deliver the money to the people. the
4:20 pm
money is delivered in amount of $320.00. she calls in physical enough in dollars like it used to be before of the governor of the u. s. state of california has seen off an attempt to remove him from office. the republican party lead push against democratic gavin use it mostly had to do with his handling of the pandemic . while reynolds has more from beverly hills outside los angeles, good evening, california democratic governor gavin newsom handily shut down a recall effort tuesday. he will serve out the rest of his term, despite a republican push to oust him from the leadership of the nation's most populous state. i'm humble and grateful to the millions and millions of california that exercise their fundamental right to vote and express themselves. so overwhelmingly,
4:21 pm
by rejecting the division by rejecting the citizens by rejecting so much of the negativity that's defined our politics. while some voters chose to line up and cast their ballots in person, every registered eligible voter received the ballot in the mail beginning weeks ago . the overriding issue has been newsome's handling of the corona virus pandemic. he was among the 1st governors to declare widespread locked downs and masked mandates . that angered many business owners and others who joined anti massacres and republicans to support the recall. more than 40 candidates were on the ballot to replace newsome but the leading republican was larry elder, a conservative radio talk show host, who promised to lift all covert mask and vaccination mandates. elder spoke after his defeat. as you know, my opponent, governor, governor newsome on
4:22 pm
racism to be by the way we may have lost the battle. we are going to win the war. newsome attacked elder relentlessly over his stance on colbert. he spent $70000000.00 on tv ads and campaign stops around the state. and he had help from prominent democrats, including president joe biden. that message resonated with voters. if we recall, governor knew some who knows who we end up with. and the options in my opinion, are not looking very good. elder was endorsed by former president donald trump, but in this heavily democratic state, trump support may have done elder more harm than good. it's likely that democrats from the white house, the state house, is all around the country, are breathing a sigh of relief. and republicans are disappointed by the failure of their efforts
4:23 pm
to turn the golden state red. rob reynolds al jazeera beverly hills, california. you and says it is with joy, hundreds of gab beneath peacekeepers from the central african republic, falling allegations of sexual abuse. un mission in the ca are says, an investigation has been opened by gab on. previous allegations of this kind of not resulted in any convictions peacekeeping mission was deployed in 2014, to help restore stability after the collapse of the government. nicholas hark is following developments force from neighboring senate goals capital dot com. so nickos, what more you hearing about this while i spoke to the lawyer representing the victims of sexual abuse and she said this was a small victory, but it's not enough. what she wants to see it's prosecution of those involved in cases of sexual abuse happening in the central african republic itself. because as
4:24 pm
for the un conventions, the soldiers involved in allegations of sexual abuse are not prosecuted in the country where the crimes are committed, but rather in the country in their home country. that's why we saw gab beneath prosecutors in banking for the last 2 years. investigating soldiers of that nation under the supervision of the you and in 2018. when ontario terrorists became secretary general, he went to the bank and i met him there and we pressed on what the us would do to address the growing cases of sexual violence by un peacekeepers meant to protect the population but allegedly involved in abusing those involved in what we're talking about here, how's them are children, children as young as 10 who are exchange a glass of water or biscuit against sexual favor, or young girls. 12 year old girls who go to the soldiers trying to sell fruits and vegetables, but then are forced into sex. there are hundreds of cases. in fact,
4:25 pm
the un we calculated in 2018 a 162 cases. but the lawyer who is representing the victim say, this is just the tip of the iceberg. there are hundreds more that go on prosecuted . in fact, this is doesn't just involve un peacekeepers alone. when we were there, we meant young girls that were 11 years old, who said that they were victims of sexual abuse and rape from french soldiers. they actually recognized the regiment tattooed on their arms. and despite all of the witness and all of this, well, the french prosecutor says there was no case to be to be charged and no sentences that were be made. the lawyer in this case said, but imagine if these were african soldiers in paris, abusing french children, or french young girls, what would the french public want? well, that's what the central african republic and the children there and the victims,
4:26 pm
they're what they want to see sentences come across and this is a small step towards the right direction. but they want to see more actual cases on the ground happening. husband nicholas'. i live 1st there in a duck. thanks nicholas. my grandson, asylum seekers, stuck in a border city in southern mexico are struggling to find food and shelter as they try to avoid deportation. authorities have been accused of using excessive force to stop them heading for the u. s. more rapid reports from upper chula in the state of champus. there is a humanitarian crisis unfolding in southern mexico. for months, waves of migrants and asylum seekers mainly from haiti in central america have poured into the city of upper to bottle migrants rights advocates. c. a national palsy by the mexican government,

aimed at preventing migrants from making their way north towards the united states, has turned the city into an open air prison for refugees. stop by law s one even put him live in hell. it is an illegal prison because nowhere in the law does it say that migrates can only be kept in one street, turned into concentration. mexican immigration laws are being converted and manipulated in order to appease the united states in the sobbing thought. money, orlando, the streets of temper eula are packed with migrants. this woman who has asked us to conceal her identity is one of more than 35000 haitian nationals currently stuck into a shula. she says food and shelter or in short supply. and that the situation here grows more dire by the day i'm always looking over and i'm going to be along what we make in a day is not enough for food. and many of us migrants are sleeping in the park on top of each other, begging for food. as

a mexico's president doesn't do something for us. people are going to begin to steal. and we don't want that. what we want is help and to allow us to keep moving . since the start of the year, mexico's national immigration strategy has been one of containment into a shuler. hundreds of migrants queue up outside the cities, immigration officers almost every day. here the confusion range intentions are on the rise. the vast majority of people we've encountered outside this government office building say they're growing desperate without a clear answer from authorities as to what it's going to take to obtain the necessary paperwork. and finally, be allowed to leave sup, actually, despite promises from mexican political leaders to respect the ranks of migrants and asylum seekers. those who tried to leave us without the necessary paperwork are quickly rounded up. and local journalists continue to document cases of abuse and excessive force from authorities. we need to recognize that these individuals that
4:29 pm
are making this very risky journey are and very difficult and vulnerable situations . as we've discussed, there are many women and children and children who are actually a company, that means they do not have a family member or guardian going with them. sometimes children who are very young age. and so what all governments need to do that are involved in managing migration is that they need to make sure that it's human rights are respected and that these people are protective migrant shelters in this part of the country have reached maximum capacity and some have experienced outbreaks of cobit 19 coupled with a lack of access to adequate health care, growing security concerns and a national policy that prevents people from leaving the situation is quickly growing beyond the ability of authorities to control mandated up a little al jazeera dupre to la mexico and more than 1000000 people have been impacted by flooding in the northwest in indian state of goods act. jeff has the
