might not be so bad. there were several steps along the way where the chain of command, it seemed like try to covered up what's your take on why they've gotten is so wrong . that to me is political malpractice, the bottom line on us politics and policies, and the impact on the world on al jazeera. ah, this is al jazeera ah, hello, lauren taylor. this is the al jazeera news are live from london. coming up. after landmark trial, a german court jails, a former syrian intelligence officer for life, for overseeing states, back to torture and murder. mm. one person is shot dead in the latest antique who protest since to dawn. and a military official has been stabbed to death. britons prince andrew is stripped of

10 years ago. unwashed osland was a senior officer in the syrian government forces. now the former colonel is starting a life sentence for crimes against humanity convicted by a german court of multiple counts of murder, torture, and sexual violence. all carried out during his time in charge of the al hattie prison, near damascus, dang o'clock to lie in tight as this, the defendant was a part of assistant. at his instigation, thousands of civilians were brutally tortured. he's also responsible for murder of at least $27.00 people. the evidence we put forward proved fat unambiguously, as all ruslan defected to the syrian opposition in 2012 before eventually coming to germany. 2 years later where he was granted asylum, it was only in 2018 that police began checking out his story. when they realized the extent of his crimes, they decided to prosecute. in bringing this case, the germinal forties have invoked the principle of universal jurisdiction.

effectively saying that some crimes are so serious that it doesn't matter where they take place, nor does it matter that the victims and perpetrators on not german. what matters is that just this be done outside the court on thursday, relatives of those killed in syria gave their reaction to the verdict. they haven't shown the evidence y'all. we were actually expecting this verdict. and were of course, hoping that this would be the verdict. of course, this doesn't bring back our loved ones and doesn't get our loved ones out of prison . we have to keep talking about it and keep reminding the world that there are still a lot of people in syrian prisons on the human rights campaign is welcome to sentence . i think it's quite okay for the survivor. the julian who texted to be fine. so i hope that the sentence is that there will be

a strong base for future war and wireless line was not the 1st form, a member of the syrian government forces to be jailed in germany. and if the government here continues its prosecuting drive against those suspects of war crimes, there, he seems. unlikely to be the last dominant came al jazeera berlin mohammed de la de la, is a former syrian prisoner and victim of torture. he's now executive director of the syria justice and accountability center, which documents and collect evidence of atrocities. he says while thursdays ruling is historic, then he speak greater accountability. the security isn't see the operated above the law. beyond the law, they all come from unity and that start to see some and on the hands of national course in germany, it's unfortunate that probably happening august. the area though, it's only for one person from a whole system. i think machine of being disappearing,

torturing and killing. but this is a good 1st step toward just witnesses. survivors from our victims, families spent them. the court listened to what's been said. their plan himself was forced to respond to the allegation and comment on them, which is the history. and we know that the question both officer knew the view of view on the left or they would walk away just just fine without it and think it will be in question, but also man. and so the way he responded under the act to people and how to get them to try to get he did not regret what he did. ready to those people, and i'm very glad to see him being and try and see this. but i think i believe and holding the most responsible, official accountability. not only somebody want them lamenting an order plan was implementing this policy, overview of georgia and beating and killing. but he did not actually design that policy. and if you want to target the practice of don't show that it's usually stored. sure, we want to brag, but we want to get those who designed the policy. and they're still in damascus

company security forces. and she does have shot dead protest. her hours after a senior military official was killed during demonstration, in cartoon to gas was fired at progressive after thousands took to the streets against the crew in october, which plunged the country into political deadlock. leaving reports of multiple injuries. kim morgan report from caught him so called resistance committees into damp capital hooked them, have led the call for a peaceful protest to continue. and on thursday, support those were back on the street, the chance against the military, which took overpower in october last year, bringing an end to a 2 year transitional government. the un mission and sudan launched an initiative earlier this week in an attempt to break the country's political deadlock. it wants to get political parties, associations, civil society groups, and the military round table to discuss the way forward. but the response has so far not been good, non rob within why the or me and we reject the un initiatives who sets the path for

a base of compromise and negotiation with the military, which we refused to have in power because they came up through a qu, they, the military should be removed from power and then will reach out to the various parties and come up with the way to form a complete civilian government. but for now we can not negotiate with the military law. why the mile a deal in november between the military and prime minister, abdullah ham doke failed to appease political parties or the protest movement. ham doke eventually resigned earlier this month. resistance committees sets up and residential neighborhoods have been organizing protests and an almost daily basis against military rule. well, in mobile, that i am with acted on and we want to complete civilian roles. that's been the goal of this revolution since 2009 hanging out for 30 years, people have been living under an oppressive state. and the revolution that started was for a civilian government. we want the army out, a good yarn you online with us. either way. in this latest protest,

tear gas am stung grenades or fire. the use of life emulation by security forces was also reported. at least 2 deaths were reported, including the death of a senior police officer, medics. the several protesters were also entered. protest organizers say they'll only sit down to discuss the dance future when the military leaves the political theme and his office threes. they appear united in thought contrast, the political parties, which are divided on whether to accept the you and efforts and that ending. but deadlock are rejected. several parties have called it and moved to legitimize the military takeover. others say them need more consultations before deciding. i would that 11 would have been an ordinary law. we're currently talking as a political coalition. we don't want to go back to square warm or to the situation before the military crude, adamant we had clear goals that need to be achieved, which is having a civilian government for sued armstrong's vision of the return of the military and security forces to their normal positions just like other security forces from the

world that, than that due to me are who are from the of army or in the violence seen in this latest protest and death of a senior security official could delay any further diplomatic attempts to ember crisis. he but morgan al jazeera hutton, the committee, the towards the nobel peace prize has appealed to ethiopian prime minister to end the conflict in his country abbey. i had one near ward in 2019 in iraq critique of a former laura at the norwegian. noble committee says he has a special responsibility for bringing an end to the fighting that broke out in late 2020. the committee generally refrains from commenting on the actions of nobel prize winners after they've been awarded of nobel prize. britain is prince. andrew can no longer caught himself, his royal highness, and now faces a civil sex abuse trial in new york as a private citizen. buckingham palace, as his mother, the queen, a stripped him of his military titles. his accused of sexual abuse by virginia

defray, who says she was traffic to have sex with him when she was 17. he denies the allegations . on wednesday, his lawyers failed to have the case thrown out. buckingham palace said with the queen's approval and agreement that you'd have york's miniature affiliations and rural patronage is, have been returned to the queen. the yoke will continue not to undertake any public duties. and as defending this case, as a private citizen. as talk more about this with one commentator which it fits williams, he joins as far as skype from central london. thanks very much for being with us. what do you make of the move and the timing of it? well, i think there is absolutely no doubt this was inevitable off to judge louis kaplan in new york, dismiss the intense by andrew's legal team to stop the civil case that is proceeding against him. there's no doubt also put all andrews options well,

are potentially damaging and dangerous. he has been an embarrassment to the royal family for a long time. and finally, they've taken steps to remove the bait military links very precious to him personally, he was a big part of the war. and also all the other pattern is linked to charities very, very significant that he can no longer use the h r h title. so i think that this is very appropriate and remember the course, this is the year of the queen's platinum jubilee, a historic milestone. this was threatening to overshadow it. and on on that to me you would you see this is damaging for the monarchy more generally. i think so very damaging if it continued. i mean, we saw, for example, when the duke and duchess of sussex stepped down only when they stepped down

to make their way in the united states and showed how unhappy they were. i think that that did a lot of damage when they went on april the tap the monarchy versus i think that this as a sort of steady, very slow feed of negative publicity. but also extremely serious allegations which i, he totally demise and demise has denied for some years. the fact, however, all the, the various options that he has, i'm sure you know the civil suit, in which case it could be a default judgment to attempt to set hold. but how much money would that ball them? what does the junior roberts do free want all contest it in the middle of a? it would be absolutely extraordinary international course celeb if he did that. all of these are unsatisfactory and there are other outstanding issues to

a photograph of him and virginia roberts taken in 2001 with the convicted sex trafficker, sheila and maxwell, which has never been explained. and you mentioned the fact that his dad is taking a while from to do this. and we heard earlier today we had full members of royal navy. our f and army were sending an open letter to the queen saying they were upset and angry at andrew attaining titles and, and saying his position was untenable, edging a p to not even any longer how much of a part would that letter or those kind of sentiments from and managing others and have made in, in the decision you think that would have been part of it or do you think it was just the court case angle that made them decide? i think the queen, i would have taken those particular statements extremely seriously. she is the commander in chief, the armed forces and such. i think that that would have meant a great deal to her. i do think that there are various aspects of this,

including an interview in november 2019 for the b b. c. news not so. gossley, the commentators and members of the public have been horrified, ever since it showed that andrew had no compassion for ex students, victims. and also he hasn't helped the f b i who simply want to have extra evidence to track down on epstein accomplices. so there are variety of issues here, let alone anything else that might come up in the aftermath of the trial of should a maxwell and, and we've also had the mr. crucial friends, including epstein and maxwell. so you basically dealing with someone who appears to believe that they are entitled to some level to behave in a certain way. i think that what we've seen is the royal family finally distancing itself. and i most sincerely hope that what we will see this year is our

celebration of the queen's re whilst matters which andrew deals with are handled in a different way with him being considered a private citizen and not causing so much damage to the monkey. just briefly, if he were to be cleared, would he get his titles back? i think that there are very large numbers about the issues where dealing also with the fact that he hasn't helped the f b i, the people remember the quarter public opinions very strong about those that news night interview that he gave to attempt to clear his name 2 years ago was an absolute catastrophe. i can never see him returning to ra views of any sort, and i'd say that is likely to be permanent. we should fitzwilliam, thank you very much indeed for talking to thank you. coming up on this user from london, the u. s. prepares to deploy more military personnel to help hospitals overwhelmed by the surge included cases and handout masks. and more rapid tests is the party

violence in casks dance, modern history. more than a $160.00 people died, including peaceful protesters and police officers. around 12000 people have been detained. friends and relatives are anxiously waiting for news of my group, but my friend, i can even call him a brother john dawson, i keep of which was detained on january. 4th, he was firstly held at the district office of internal affairs like then they told us he was in an internal affairs department since january 6. we've been here and we don't know whether he's alive or not. activists say those detained aren't being provided with their rights even though on that additional, misty denay. neither lawyers or relatives, no one's allowed in sight, yet lawyers should be present during interrogations. the checkpoints block the access for lawyers and relatives to see what's going on in there. we don't even have a list of the detainees, but i t, oh,

that's not in to with the c s t o is note of bishop accomplished. foreign troops are on their way out, but much remains to be resolved in kazakhstan. robin for astir walker al jazeera. meanwhile, russia says talks to defuse the crisis in eastern ukraine, have hit a dead end of it is not given up on diplomacy. earlier ponens foreign minister told a meeting of the organization for security and cooperation in europe, that the risk of war is now greater than ever before. dosage of i reports from moscow. this is what russia says is within its sovereign right to do hold military drills in the southwestern region, neighboring ukraine. yeah, these drills were held on wednesday as representatives of russia and nato met in brussels for talks and security. the 1st in nearly 3 years since late last year,

the west has been concerned by russia building up a force of nearly 100000 soldiers near ukraine, demanding that washington pledge never to let ukraine joined a 30 member of military alliance or expanded eastwards, appoint the united states refuses to accept and at the opening session of the world's biggest security conference, the organization for security and cooperation in europe. a star warning from the incoming chairman, the risk of war, and v o c area is now greater than ever before. in the last 30 years for several weeks, we have been phase 2 of a possibility of emergent america escalation in eastern europe. while the polish foreign minister went on to warn that tensions could up end the post cold war order on the continent. moscow continues to maintain, it has no intention of attacking ukraine after the borrow channel. would you give

us put a new much? we should abandon a vicious cycle of truitt and russia as the enemy. we propose mechanism of agreement, cross solution, et cetera. our written ideas for the american side and for the nato elias are aimed at preventing the scenario through diplomacy, gossip stations, and not through raising 2 inches and the use of military instruments diploma. you. this follows high level talks between nato and russia and brussels on wednesday, where the 2 sides clearly did not have a positive outcome. after a 4 hour meeting, president vladimir pu spokesperson has called this weeks tops unsuccessful. the kremlin says that if the united states were to impose sanctions on president who it, it would be comparable to severing ties with russia. it is now clear that dialogue and diplomacy have not bridge the gap between moscow in the west, but rather highlighted their unresolved differences. dorset of murray al jazeera moscow use media says american diplomats have fallen sick this week with

a suspected cases of havana syndrome in paris and geneva, where the u. s. in russia have been holden, security talks. you are state department says it's working to identify the illness and who might be behind it and has raised the issue with the russians sector, state antony blink and says the entire federal government is focused on the mystery ailment which has affected about 200 diplomats and their family members ref since 2016 but a diplomat is not known. what causes the illness, but symptoms include migraines, nausea, memory, lapses, and dizziness all about a leader is a far right militia that has been charged with seditious conspiracy in connection with last years. right. the u. s. capital prosecutor say 56 year olds, hewitt roads, led the innkeeper's group at washington d. c. last year in an attempt to stop the certification of j biden's election victory. 10 other alleged members were also charged is the 1st time the justice department is brought charges and seditious conspiracy,

which is defined as attempting to overthrow or destroy the government. she attends . he is having washington d. c. for us. she of how unusual are these seditious conspiracy charges? very unusual, but because it's so difficult to prove quite often that, that a conspiracy was underway in the past. charges like this had been thrown out simply because people have the right to express themselves with freedom of speech and so on and, and constitutional protections of freedom of speech. but this is interesting because these are the most serious charges to date from the dio, jane connection to january 6th. and her husband of active discussion amongst, in some quarters about whether this really was a coup attempt. this really was an organized protests on january. the 6th or a demonstration that simply got out of hand not least because the capital was so so poorly defended. and in fact, the new york times of the bosses reported that there were the f. b. i had informants in the crowd who said, look, there's nothing like pre planned about this. well now the d o j thinks it does have some sort of evidence that suggests at least some small group within that crowd did

have pre planning that there was a recognizance mission beforehand that in various messages. stewart rhodes had said, all sorts of things that suggest that this was the moment of truth where we aren't going through this without civil war. it's too late for that. prepare your mind and body and be alert. that was in november in december. there is no standard political, a legal way out of this. and then on january the 6th itself, the stuart roads didn't actually enter the capital. but this is a message that the dear j is released. all i see trump doing is complaining. i say no, see no intent by him to do anything. so the patriots of taking it into their own house, accessed by good news for trump, potentially. they would suggest that he was mention authority connected to whatever these with the b b housekeepers, right? when militia had been planning not any that the evidence suggests a great deal of almonds and protective gear had been, had been procured, that there was something rapid reaction force waiting in a hotel outside virginia, who ferry more alms to the capital. so that this is all the evidence of the dear j

has release, which suggests there was some kind of concrete plan of foot roads himself, as always denied that there was any plot. he actually says that those who did, under the capital, had not been obeying orders election. other range, interesting thing here too, that there was a stock formation and actually we see video from the day. you see one group of people like in a single file marching into the capital, and it's alleged that that was a military tactic. and then once they got into the capital, one team went to the, to the house to look for nancy pelosi, the other to the senate. so there's a sense of organization, definitely the most serious charges to date, very difficult to prove, but certainly suggesting that least some people in that crowd may have had a plan. and she had it just been as the u. s. house committee investigating this whole capital attack as sipping in the social media giants matter, alphabet twitter and read it. were more concerns about that this just cross section as we were as we were coming on on the yeah, but it seems that the japanese committee not happy that these groups are

cooperating with, with handling over information related to john read the 6 handing over emails and and media pace and things like that. again, they're trying to understand the web move information, the contacts being made on january the 6 and before and after. and this would suggest they're not happy that the technology companies all handling over their records from that day. and perhaps you can see why because republicans are saying this is trampling on our, on our private information. i'll personal information and we're not going to forget it. if you do hand hand over this information, but now subpoenas and these, these companies are a few weeks to comply to had to have all the information being requested. she average as we thank you very much. indeed, the us supreme court has stopped the biden administration from enforcing the requirement that employees at large businesses be vaccinated against cobit, but it's allowing a vaccine mandate for most health care workers. the readings came as president

one analyst points out america's unique system hampers. the response so much of the us health care system is outside of the federal government. it is privatized. it is for profit, so having the government coordinate everything is, is quite difficult. the 1st batch of ad home covered tests are expected to be distributed by the end of the month on friday, details of how americans can access those tests through a new government website. are expected to be made public. kimberly help get al jazeera washington. there's lots more still to come this out. the race to rebuild towns in kentucky. often, tornadoes cost billions of dollars of damage. and in sport, the scattering driver is closing in on a 4th deck already title action coming up later in the program. ah

it continues to be the same message about the that, that main area of cooling in the pacific to do to la nina, how much of an effect did that have? and, and is there any chance that those kind of natural patterns might have a stronger affected only is yet. so nanina has a kind of opposite number called el nino and el nino can enhance temperatures, whereas lanier can suppress them. and they happen naturally and different years, and they can either warn things more than is already kind of happening, or like in the case of 2021, they can keep temperatures slightly cooler. and that's partly why the 2021 was in the will miss year is one of the reasons am and it was just, you know, in the top 7. and in terms of what the effect when we talk about this was rising temperatures. what are the effects of that house? well, you mentioned extreme weather events, and that was just

a snapshot of what happened in 2021. we saw a very active hurricane season. there were lots of storms, and you may remember the pacific heat down which saw. busy the highest ever temperatures in north america recorded. and those a heat wave in europe and these things, i mean, i could go on. there was so many different types of extreme weather events that result from climate change. and all of them are exacerbated by that ongoing trend of rising temperatures and they're not restricted to just hot extremes. is things like flooding and things like an extreme storms is wildfires. all of these kinds of extreme weather events that displays people that cause people their lives, cause people, their livelihoods, and full speed, not from their home, says directly having impacts on people all over the world right now. and right here, is it your impression that i mean there's been a lot of talk about saying at least now the kind of it seems as though the climate science argument is, is, is more accepted than it was. and we had lots of discussions over $26.00 about,

you know, the moves that need to be made. do you think that there's a, a kind of a climate we're actually things are going to change or do you think the still have a lot of talk about it and nothing much in practice happens? i really hope so. and it does was almost feel slightly like it starting to change and there's a lot more discussion. there's a lot more debate and there's a lot more coverage of climate change. but ultimately the climate science has been settled for decades. we've known that climate change has been a problem with knowing what causes it. we know what impacts are and that's, that's how we've known this for so long. it's just a matter of actually translating that scientific information into meaningful action . and of course, whilst we can all do that as individual that requires quite a considerable action from all sectors of society. thank you very much indeed, dr. and ago, but there are duties from my university reading. thank you. well, as we mentioned 2021 was one of the cost. guess years for whether disasters in the

u. s. at just last month, unseasonal tornadoes cause a $145000000000.00 worth of damage. christine, to new me joins us live from mayfield in kentucky. and it's been him a month since between ada hit. how to recover if it's going christian. well, it is a very slow process and you can see behind me, ah, what still needs to be done wherever you go in town. and we're right on the outskirts of the downtown, you see these huge piles of debris. in fact, the army corps of engineers has been called in to help with its rubel and they say so far they've only gotten to about 4 percent of it. so just cleaning up the debris alone is expected to take all the way until the end of april. the destruction stretches for miles, house after house, business after business, even the county court house and mayfield kentucky is damage seemingly beyond repair . the tornadoes that rip through the state and december,

killing 77 people destroyed more than a 1000 structures. now the biggest challenge for us was trying to find a new place to live, you know, finding some place to rent, not possible. now if we want to stay in mayfield, everything has gone clean up. cruise however, are everywhere. with so much destruction cleanup is not going to be quicker easy. they estimate that it will take another 160000 truckloads to carry away all the debris. throughout the state, local volunteers have sprung into action. helping provide everything from clothing to toiletries while fema, the federal emergency management agency goals out cash to those who qualify for emergency housing assistance of the $9500000.00, the famous disburse so far, 2 families, 6800000 of that is for housing assistance that,

that is the 1st option for families to find a place to live in the interim while they're rebuilding. and when finding that, that permanent solution, the mayfield green company is among the many businesses that were destroyed, taking jobs with them. but duncan's pharmacy was able to reopen quickly and a new location were getting phone calls the day after the tornado. people calling, i apologize, not trying to be insensitive, i'm not a medicine. why do i do? the store has been part of may field for over 100 years and it's current owner has no intention of leaving, or things used to be a certain way. they're not like that right now. just have patience and love for each other and with time i think we'll be able to grow back. maybe not like who are before, hopefully stronger, but what least be able to to rebuild, rebuild. they must, but it won't be easy. and the spring tornado season is just months away. and chris, you know, they linking mr. climate change. well,

scientists say that you cannot blame climate change for any single weather event. and while more extreme weather events have been linked to climate change, they say more study is needed for tornadoes in particular. in the last 20 years, the number and the severity of tornadoes seems to be much stronger. but than the 20 years before that. but also tracking of tornadoes has gotten more developed and there's more tracking of them as well. so they say more study is needed. but the fact that this happened in december is very unusual. usually the tornado season is in the spring time. so that has people raising eyebrows and questioning if there is not, in fact some link here. this is louis. thank you very much. ronnie spector, the lead singer of a 19 sixty's girl group, the ron it says died at the age of $78.00. after short battle with cancer,
