child the u. n. so civilians must be protected. and nicholas cruz pleads guilty to murdering 17 people during a rampage. it is from a high school in park, and florida. ah, who begin in brazil were reported to the country's corona virus response has pointed the finger of blame at president jr. both so narrow and recommended. he faced criminal charges including crimes against humanity. the draft report followed a 6 month investigation and still needs to be voted on by the senate committee and could be vetoed and altered emitted from document is an earlier recommendation to chargeable to morrow with genocide and murder. the senators say the decision to change their recommendation to accuse him of crimes against humanity isn't political, but technical aimed at preventing a judge from throwing out their report. a genocide charge would have related to

brazil's indigenous population, including the devastating shortage of oxygen in the arizona state in may, 2020, and again, in january 2021. from the start of the pandemic, boston, our railed against lock downs, frequently refused to wear mask. and recommended remedies proven to be ineffective . the report also says he turned down early opportunities to acquire vaccines, costing an estimated $95000.00 lives and senators want to charge 3 of boston our sons alleging they spread in misinformation, incentivizing non compliance with public health measures. within 600000 covert deaths have been recorded in brazil. the 2nd highest hole in the pandemic. whose general cedars i school journals. so as i explained once, let me explain again, was not removed. it was schwabl for crimes against humanity. he will be indicted for crimes against humanity because of the matters on prevents and whorls,

monroe's and indigenous people. what was removed was homicide. is good, i'm not humana kiana, kevin. net, what his are is. how likely is it that president boston are, will face trial? and even if he doesn't what, what does it mean for his political career? well on, it's not likely that he will, ah, have to be tried for all the crimes that he's being accused of. if that were the case, ah, he would have liked to would be sentenced to more than 80 years of prison on the process. now is that this report will be voted on tuesday, then it will be submitted to the attorney general. the attorney general was pick by ball, so narrow and is usually citing with the government. but what chance the sen, ahmad, as he's, who presides, is 8 panel on senate committee that investigated the pandemic, that government's handling of the pandemic. what he said, he told us was that, that he, they were going,

they're going to try all means of bringing justice in. that means they will try to go to the supreme court and also to the international court of the hague. this will probably not be something that will happen immediately. elections will be held next year in a year's time next october of next year. so and an impeachment is unlikely, so his career is not over, but his popularity has taken toll with this inquiry because it's been 6 months of non stop reporting on everything that has been going wrong in the handling of the pandemic. what is public opinion like in brazil on the subject awful, more than 600000 brazilians have died from covered 90 or more than half of the population rejects ah, this government now. so his of the rejection of the government has grown a lot now. nonetheless, also now to still has the support of around 20 something percent of the population

. there are people that still believe that the pandemic was not his fault. it was a, the fault of the chinese that, ah, there was not, no guarantees that vaccines would do anything. ah, i heard from a bull, so not a supporter yesterday are saying, well, you know colin powell died of coven 19 the he was vaccinated twice in the united states. so vaccines are no guarantees. so this, ah, denial of the pandemic, the denial of the, of how efficient vaccines are. this is something that is still present in parts of brazil, there, believers, people that follow bull. so nato, who strongly believe this and believe his words and he himself just went out on the streets and said, i'm not guilty of any thing. you know, this is not my fault. we did what we could, life is what it is. so there are people now, many people are extremely angry because this has made,

it was like an awareness campaign every day during, you know, 6 months, you are listening to how vaccines could have arrived earlier. the campaign could have started, but you know, much earlier. so maybe somebody that lost a dear one because they didn't have the vaccine on time having have the chance of having it. these people are extremely angry. one of you and again, thank you very much indeed. ah, the town says it needs international recognition to ease afghanistan's humanitarian crisis. representatives from the group were speaking in moscow after an international conference with regional powers, including china, india, and pakistan. it comes off to russia, said the group would have to uphold a basic standard of human rights to get recognition. and also promised to address ongoing security concerns. we had very good meeting all the participating countries

. they supported unfreezes, the assets, understand central bank, which is actually the assets of the avalon people. and it should not be connected with political issues. and also all the but the bidding countries. this supported close engagement with the new islamic government in avalon, austin. and overall, the stomach emitted appreciate the effort and the positions most the expressed by different countries. in today's meeting, charlotte bennett has been a his from the afghan capital capital. primarily they want the us who wasn't leah to day. they want the, you waste to release $9000000000.00, which is being housed by america, which is afghan reserve bank funds. so they want that release. they say they want to use it for reconstruction, but guess they did talk a lot about a they said all the countries in these talks in moscow today are we're all on the

same page when it came to aid and they said that they supported the taliban and the telephone said they were very appreciative of that, but the main takeaway was, there was a call to action if you will wear these countries said look, we're going to contribute humanitarian aid. and we're talking china, iran, india, pakistan, central asian countries. but we also want the you when to convene during a conference, so it's more of a global effort. so they're really pushing for the way to kind of take the lead on this and keep channeling and fun and pushing as much humanitarian aid into afghanistan as possible. because it really is a dire situation here and winter is on the horizon. now the taliban also under quite a lot of pressure to day when it came to suppressing, quote, terrorism. the russians were saying that were very worried about groups like i sal ah, staging attacks inside afghanistan against neighbors against russia itself. and so they were really looking for reassurance is from the taliban that they can essentially keep a lid on groups like iceland. i ssl has been

a has kind of been quite effective by having 3 quite large attacks since the taliban took over and various parts of afghanistan. so the taliban had to really reassure some of the neighbors and countries like russia that they can keep control of groups like i sold. the u. n is reducing its presence in to drive by more than half as ethiopian government blockade continues to hom, humanitarian aid. if it's in the region, the reduction comes as, as trying to hit the capital of to grow on wednesday for the 2nd time this week, the government said it was targeting facilities to make and repair weapons which a spokesman for the rival to grow and force is denied at least 3 people were killed and strikes on the kelley on monday. the conflicts in the north of the country has been going on for nearly a year now, and thousands of people have been killed. during this time, you will get at truces. it's difficult to confirm details independently because of a communication back out in the region. from the images were able to watch but cannot verify. it seems to be a heavy target and there will be money,

money victims from this. later strike that happened then. they took on monday, denied it, then they confirmed it, but the targets this head is communication equipment to try to slow down the success that we've been watching left in terms of capturing towns outside of to go into the party from the get go. the ciocca and government has been clear in terms of pointing fingers, again that they've been saying that the money that has been stealing resources and using it or to perhaps provide support to their soldiers. that's the persuasive of ethiopia in the past that they would say the opposite. so this is a conflict of bait in a challenging position to verify what's being said because we have no access of the state of to syria now or at least 14 people have been killed after 2 bombs exploded

on a military bus in damascus. is the worst attack in the syrian capital in years. and shortly after government forces shelled a marketplace in the rebel held province of in live. the u. n. has condemned the violence calling on all sides to ensure the protection of civilians. has the latest a rare attack in the heart of the syrian capital. a military bus was the target. many were killed and injured. when, according to stake, media to explosive devices went off. the bus was at a transport point under the east bridge and damascus. these kinds of attacks haven't happened in years, particularly since 2018 when government forces cleared the armed opposition strongholds around the city. though there has been no claim of responsibility. but the syrian regime is facing threats on multiple fronts. i remain the end of the

declared candidate in syria and early 2019 by the joint forces of the us. and yet did not mean the end of the year had this organization, which was the threats and security challenge. especially after the change of statutes of the stomach state, which is largely focused on the site attack are not long after the explosion. syrian government troops heavily shell, the town in the northern provinces, live civilians were killed or injured in re how many of them children who are on their way to school. the area is regularly targeted by government troops despite last year cease fire agreement. but when they shelling is being seen as retaliation to the damascus attack, this attack will play into the hands of the gym by using it as another evidence that he's facing at some sort of terrorism actions. and that he is trying to blame the opposition, particularly and for that for the attack in an attempt actually to framed

opposition. much of northern syria is under rebel control. the country remained divided along the front lines and millions remain displaced. and while some host countries are starting to promote their return, human rights groups are again warning. it is not safe in the absence of certain conditions. in a report, human rights watch said it interviewed 65 returning or family members. it documented $21.00 cases of arrest, an arbitrary detention, 13 cases of torture. 3 kidnappings, 5 extra judicial killings. 17 enforced disappearances. and one case of reported sexual violence. this includes people that had clearances, supposedly before they returned, they assurances that they would not be persecuted, a reconciliation agreement since they are called and no given documents to say that

they would not be hunted down. but in fact, that's exactly what happened to people. president bashar upsets forces now control much of syria after military help from his allies, russia and iran helped tip the balance of power in his favor. but wednesday's explosion was a serious security breach. and it shows once again, syria is still in crisis than a hunter. l shahita still to come around era, dozens are killed and devastating floods in india's winter account with karen estate also on highlight for more heavy rains. and nigerians mocking years incidentally crackdown on protests against police brutality. ah hi there. thanks for joining in. we've had

for more heavy rainfall after a week of devastating floods. as elizabeth barone and reports from port am. an aerial survey of the northern state of ultra khan shows large areas of farm land submerged. heavy rain in the past 3 days has led to flooding and landslides, which have destroyed hollins and bridges and killed dozens of people in northern and southern india. more than 300 people have been rescued and thousands relocated in o'clock and a lot of what all our rescue forces have been deployed to several flood depicted areas on drafts and ropes. the national disaster response force has also deployed several teams. we are working on clearing several roads that have been closed due to flood damage. thousands of people remain cut off in the districts of armada and ronnie kate, after landslides blocked roads, the was defected, region of co mom recorded it's heaviest, daily rainfalls since records began

our house is on high ground, was a little safer than the people living further down. earlier when there was a small flood of the water level rose, the neighbors used to come to our house to stay there until the level went down. that's how safe a house was. so i have no idea how this happened. will try camden, cadillac or an opposite ends of india. the climatology say both states are experiencing more extreme rainfall events because of climate change. they're also an ecologically fragile regions. with that i kind of the himalayas and kettler and the western cuts, mountain range, environmentalists say meineke construction projects and deforestation in mountains which are prone to land slides leading to more disasters. elizabeth caron, m al jazeera caught deb kettler and he 77 people have died and more than 25 are missing in flash floods. in nepal. heavy rains in the mountainous country, a ham gray efforts to reach villages trapped by flood waters. overflowing rivers of

with myself sometimes. but i try to push through because i know that what you guys will want me to do, i hate drugs, and i believe this country with the bird ever will stop smoking marijuana and doing all these drugs and causing racism and violence out in the streets. and yell has fallen, developments from miami, essentially by pleading guilty to 17 counts of murder and 17 of attempted murder. he's given up his constitutional right to a jury trial. that means in the next few months, he will face a jury of his peers and they will decide between 2 options, which is life in prison and in florida, that means you die in prison and the death penalty. but during this trial, you could see the relatives of those that were lost 3 years ago. on february, the 14th, it was a very emotional time for them. people were wiping away tis, but nicholas cruz also gave something of an apology to the families of people that

will last saying that he has to live with this every day that he cannot sleep. but even more bizarrely, he asked the judge and the court to let the victims families decide his fate. that is not what he's going to happen. he has to go before a jury of people that will not be related to any one that was killed in what was one of the was us school shootings in history. and i'm pretty sure that apology at will bring scant comfort to those who lost people. this was one of the worst. my shootings in us history at nicholas cruz took an assault rifle into a school he'd been expelled from an open fire. we saw those pictures around the world of those children running away from that school, but he now faces 2 choices. one is that he goes to prison for life until he dies all that he's executed under florida state laws. so i think for the parkland community this may be the beginning of something like closure, although it's hard to imagine if you lost a child, whether you can ever do that. but incidentally on this day as well,
