to possible war crimes in ukraine will start immediately. investigation is backed by nearly 40 countries, including e u. member states plus the u. k. australia, and canada. i see see, prosecutor korean khan says there is reasonable basis to believe war crimes have been committed. and the un general assembly is approved a resolution that deployed russia's ukraine invasion while demanding an immediate holds to the attack. it was the 1st emergency session since 1997 from the united nations, kristen salumi house ukraine came to the general assembly, arguing that russian aggression is a violation of the un charter as well as a deadly existential threat. they have come to the ukrainian soil, not only to kill some of us, not only to received our cause and priorities. they have come to deprive ukraine of the very right to exist. here russia has no veto power, just the power to make its case even in the face of enormous opposition, was,

am gonna give us your refusal to support today's draft. resolution is a vote for a peaceful ukraine, free from radicalism and neo naziism in unit caesar. in the end, only 4 member states cited with the russians, 141 voting in favor of the resolution deploring the military operation. today, the world has spoken with a clear united voice. together, the vast majority of the world has condemn russia's unprovoked unjustified unconscionable war. we have deplored barouche for allowing its territory to be used to facilitate this aggression. 35 countries abstain from voting among them, china, india, and south africa did a solution that you have conceded to d does not create an environment conducive for diplomacy, dialogue, and mediation. however, the united arab emirates, which had abstained on

a similar resolution and the security council, came out in favor. right now we recognized that this resolution adopted here today is a necessary signal of where we, we need to be going, resigning ourselves to a cycle of perpetual violence. and sanctions that only adds to the suffering of civilians diminishes us all. under international law, matters of peace and security are the purview of the security council. but the counsel invoked a rarely used provision of the un charter to get around the russian veto and call for this special emergency session of the general assembly. it's outcome according to sponsors shows russia's isolation on the international stage. kristin salumi al jazeera, the united nations, more coverage coming up in a moment. our pricing for a russian is sold. we're looking at daily life of thousands of people taking shelter into the program in east of ukraine. and the russian 1000000000 at roman

little circulation just to the south of java as a tropical system, which is now in the process of weakening off. we have a weakening tropical cyclone to cause northwestern part of australia. this is our old storm, an acre farm. warning has been issued for that, but it will still bring some very heavy rain into where parts of the western and central parts of western australia. very heavy rain, this is the main cause, the concern little area cloud here just on the east coast of australia. and that will bring more heavy down pause in across sir, that east side of new south wales. as we go towards, we can't, there's more rank coming in to brisbin. ah, a mass pro democracy movement, violent crackdowns assassinations, and you imposed sanctions. old talk, dixon struggled with ensued when the 2020 bella roost in presidential elections. that shook the country,

self proclaimed dictators. seat of power. and now new tactics, migrants people empower, investigates the humanitarian disaster on to rivaling on europe's borders and asks what's next and the battle for bella. bruce on a jazz eda. ah ah! you with al jazeera, the top or detail is coming out of the russia ukraine war this hour is that the you and refugee agency says more than a 1000000 people have now fled ukraine. since russia's invasion began a week ago. it is the fastest exodus of people this century. most heading west to poland and hungary for large explosions have shaken the central keep overnight.

rockets strike landed near the capital southern railway station as thousands of civilians were in south trying to leave the city and america. mario pole is reporting mass casualties up to what he describes is 15 hours of bombardment by russian forces who are surrounding the eastern port city. there are similar reports from ducky in the northeast. with united states is upping pressure on rushes, all the guards with a new task force it is calling klepto capture. it's named after the term talk. chrissy, which refers to corrupt individuals who misuse public funds to accumulate their wealth. the task force will focus on straining the finances of the oligarchy by making sure they don't evade sanctions. export restrictions and other measures spoke to stephan casella about this used to work in the asset forfeiture and money laundering section of the u. s. justice department explained how washington could go after the russian oligarchs. what this new task force will do is

simply use existing law in a way that it's been used already for many years, but with perhaps more resources. and that is to seize the assets that are derived from a foreign crime that are found in the united states or assets that were derived from the u. s. crime committed by a foreign actor in the united states. and this, the idea is to use this existing law, which has been with us for a long time to seize these assets when they are connected to a criminal offense. when you convict someone of a criminal offense, you can seize the assets that he derived from that offense. as part of his sentence, if you cannot convict him because he's in a foreign country future give or you don't know who he is, then you can seize those same assets in another different proceeding without having to get a conviction. and that's where i believe what they are intending to do here. first thing that i described is called criminal forfeiture. the 2nd is called civil

forfeiture, and it allows the united states so whichever country is using this tool to recover the assets of foreign criminals. and if they can be used in this instance, as a way of sanctioning those who have supported the invasion of ukraine or those who have supported the the government there. then that would be the reason why it would be effective tool punishing him. i've heard inter sanctions risks more political pain at home for joe biden, that as the u. s. is already in the grip of high inflation and soaring, low prices could only make that worse. gabrielle is only looks at that from new york a week into the invasion of ukraine. the price of oil has soared at $1.00 point on wednesday, climbing to over a $113.00 a barrel. analyst now say it could hit a $125.00 soon. the fear and perception of shortage or exit, or excess, or always affects the market price. immediately this week,

the u. s. and 30 allies pledge to release 60000000 barrels of oil from the strategic reserves, but the world consumes about 100000000 barrels a day. so the move has done little to slow prices. if the united states was to in the all russian oil imports, it would mean the price, the consumers pay at the pump would go up a lot. but nevertheless, there's growing calls in congress for president joe biden to do exactly that in america's reliance on russia. oil on wednesday, if i was asked about that option, nothing is off the table. western oil companies such as exxon shell and b, p r, pulling out of russia, exxon ending operations, and a $4000000000.00 investment at a russian oil and gas facility shell cancelling a $3000000000.00 joint venture with rushes gas prom. all this after b p announced it would pull out of a 19 percent stake in russia. oil company rosin f. a deal valued at $14000000000.00

. analysts say the organisation of oil producing countries known as opec could have done more to prevent the current crisis or the key reason why we are in the supply . in this very tight supply condition, has been the opec and willingness. or, you know, the or most likely combination of to, to deliver the supply that they promise. month by month. this is a dramatic moment for world oil supply. likely, the market won't stabilize until the uncertainty of war ins. gabriel was auto al, jazeera new york, her off to moscow. now here is russia's foreign minister, so gay, laugh ra vin, a q and a witcher. he's of you. american u. s. a gas, which will be much more expensive than russian gauss. and uh, you know, i have, um, i just, i just want to compare like in the polio and hitler,

i had this task of a subjugate to europe. and now americans had aimed as they're trying to subjugate europe. and they show, they show the european union. it's a place and what is the real place of the european union and world stage? that is the question. and now, i don't know when, when they talk about a home of when we hear all these demands from lesson capitals. and this picture is being formed. it's like a hollywood. it's this ultimate evil and absolute good. and obviously absolute good is erm. erm kelly or it's basically the director of this thriller. this is sad and i'm sure, and this histrionics will end. ah. yeah, i can sorry to say,

but a western sadness should come down and we will talk on the only one condition, the equal rights and bearing in mind each other's interest. colleagues, i want to own emphasize her, this alive, transmission that now the us journalist from and b. c. simmons. thank you. your presence eaten is being described by the isolated pill politician, described in the wes slated politician who reacts very emotionally was a when was the last time you consulted,

present christian woods and how present putin works. you get the idea of from what your west and propaganda is writing about him. the president putin, for the last couple of weeks, many times and widely presented opposition, which is the reflection of the position of the russian authority. and is being formed totally within the constitutional essays of the president of defense. and i'll follow him and this work is being done every day. and every week, at least we have the sessions of a national security council. this is the basis of this new york is online made us

have one last questions. let him the him ask. yeah, i got, i got 2 questions. i'm sorry. yes, we'll give you the, the opportunity. thank you. of through the years, russia and america, we're maintaining the stability in the world. despite the fears of the nuclear potential. could you come down the world by saying that russia will not use nuclear weapon? first, we have military doctrine, which way describe all the parameters and conditions of the usage of the minutes of nuclear weapons. we don't have any de escalation which bus an allot. it's trying to push the so the nuclear war talk is going on.

and i want, i want you to look attentively as all those words which were, which were said and those characters who, who were using these words mister stilton book, in this operated triple propagandistic favor. and in he said that nobody will prohibit nato to do whatever he wants. and if, if needs have ones to place its nuclear weapons on in eastern europe. let's start with the fact. the nato cannot decide where to put that of nuclear weapons because they don't have any americans do. up to this, mrs. lensky started to say, though, yeah, we'll, we'll just reject non nuclear state status. and we'll get

a selves from nuclear weapons. and the on the for him, it is to france, said he's, you know, cochroll is a national symbol of france and he wants to be such a little crow. and he said that the to the world that putin has to remember the fans have nuclear weapons too. it's not me who's inventing? no, pete, and so they're saying that's and then miss cross who was appointed to recently trust in britain. she, she said she's really ready for the conflict between nathan russia and pay attention to your for as presidents words, a joe biden. when answering the question, was that any alternative to present day? how had he sanction his? he said the o'neill to 3rd world war and everyone understands that 3rd,

well what could be a lead nuclear? and i want to emphasize that this is what's going on in the, in the heads of the western politicians, the nuclear war in their heads. and i can assure you, we will not allow any privilege cations will make us, will dis balance of that if they will be waging a nuclear war against us. they have to think about it who have, who, who have those plans. and i think those plans are being made now way crossing to new york, a, b, c. george stephanopoulos. go ahead. and . demons administer. wait, see, the russia is building ukraine. people dying and world

is a. is v the accusing rush of this? how can he defend the opposition? it's a short question, but you decided to quote the woods, the you have on the piece of paper. a cannot commend the lies and inventions. because a lot of them now. and if you paid attention, europe in the united states. oh, well, mainly europe, of course, they're trying to, to close down any us source of information from russia. oh, about what's happening in ukraine, how our special military operation is going and how the ukrainian army is specially ukrainian and neo nazi battalions. ah, treating the civilian population. when they were cheating they just a ransacking, there are no towns and villages in dawn bass. and then they started,

the rebels started pushing them and when they retreating, they taking the cars, people, cars, people, equipment and well, they've just marauding crowds. and so many, many information that exists as to the future provocations in maryville and some other territories where ukrainians are trying to use civilians as a live shield. just talk to the indians. arabs africans are trying to leave ukraine. they're not, they're not allowed to leave just yesterday, the prime minister of india. oh, it's a talking to the president of russia and extras his concern about the urban indians to the saga ever of is the russian foreign minister taking what we think might be prepared questions, but certainly from international journalists, most of them coming from the united states, they're echoing what he told al jazeera though in an interview that saving world

war 3, a summer calling at a potential for world war 3 could be a nuclear issue, but very much deflecting. and i, the issue in saying, actually it is the provocation of countries like france, the u. k. in the u. s, which is the real issue. he called everything he called, it histrionics from the united states saying it's like a hollywood movie detection, with the absolute good and absolute evil and ongoing news conference from the russian foreign minister. he don't like psychological healers, but ah, so these are the latest developments to come out of ukraine. the you and refugee agency says more than a 1000000 people have now fled since russia's invasion began a week ago. the fastest exodus of people the century, most heading west into poland and hungary.
