her aunt carrie johnston. this is anne is our life and welcome to the program or coming up in the next 60 minutes. ukrainian court sentences a russian soldier to life in prison for war crimes. as well. leaders meet and diverse ukraine's president urges them to provide more money for his country to fight russian forces. palestinian foreign ministry formerly asks the international criminal court to investigate the killing of al jazeera journalists, sharina. i will act like china ones, the us not to underestimate its commitment on taiwan or to joe biden, said washington would defend the island from any invasion and in sport, naomi, our saga has been knocked out of the french open in the 1st round. a 14 major champion was beaten by amanda and silva, are being added. ah,

a russian soldier has been sentenced to life in prison by ukrainian court for war crimes. 21 year old about him, she, she married, admitted killing a civilian in northeastern semi region. is the 1st such trials since russia invaded ukraine? 3 months ago? was aimless robbie joins us now live from the ukrainian capital and zane. what's the significance of this verdict? while the how quickly this case was carried out from start to finish, it was only a week, certainly most likely set the precedent for any future cases that are to come. what we're seeing is the 1st war crimes case being tried here in ukraine, concluding in just a matter of days, really. and that is very fast by ukrainian standards. this was the 1st case to be handled by ukraine criminal court. it was public, it was televised, and it was very close to watch, but ukrainians that are looking for some measure of justice for what has happened in their country. what has been done by russia, government,

and orders that have been executed by russian soldiers. what we have here is a gentleman named the interest marin, a 21 year old tank commander and the russian military. he was accused of killing a civilian, a 62 year old resident of a village in the swimming region in the initial days of the war. now what sharon was saying during the trial is that he was ordered to carry out the shooting of this man who was riding a bicycle near his home. he said during the course of the trial that he refused initially to carry out the orders, but was threatened if he did not. and therefore took the shot and killed the 62 year old resident in the same region. now he was faced with the wife of the victim . during the trial, the wife of the victim asked him how he felt at the time of carrying out these orders. he said he felt fear, and he expressed regret. nonetheless, he was given a life sentence, something the wife of this victim had requested during the trial, either a life sentence or that this russian soldier be exchanged in

a prisoner swap for ukrainian captured ukrainian soldiers in russian custody. now what we are likely to see is many more such cases as this conflict continues. we've got 2 pilots, possibly being seen in court in coming days. that's the next case. on the horizon and ukrainian prosecutors are investigating more and more cases of what they're calling a legend, war crimes on a near daily basis. so this is unlikely to be the last time that we see some kind of a court case. quickly adjourn with regards to russian soldiers being a choose of war crimes in this, in this war, saying that's a lie from the ukrainian capital. thank you for that. or the concept in ukraine dominated day one of the world economic forum and diverse the wealth, richest and most powerful individuals were addressed via video inc, by ukraine's present. when there's landscape appeal for billions,

more in financial help to me move out of the duly should musician you green. it's funding at least $5000000000.00 us dollars per month. this is why we establish the fund for rebuilding ukraine when you called united 24 to call upon everyone to join the kind of go a larger fanatic editor james bay's is there in dallas for a. so are james, if for them as lensky is hoping for financial assistance, he certainly comes to the right place as me yes, certainly, influential. people are in the room listening to as president of ukraine, business leaders, political leaders. of course, he wasn't here. he's not left the country since before the invasion. he is still in . keith commanding his forces there, but making his appeal by video link to those here who gave him a standing ovation in the room, calling for more funding for his forces as they continue to fight for the defense

of his country. but also for the reconstruction of the country, he says that some specific nations have already said that they will look at areas of ukraine, that they will devote their reconstruction money to. and he wants other nations to do that, to take a piece of ukraine and focus on rebuilding that part of his country. he needs to keep coming to events like this. he needs to keep the momentum he needs to keep the pressure. because of course we are now nearly 3 months since the invasion, and i think what they fear the ukrainians is what normally happens when you have a big international event that after the big shock it receives from memory the media, find other things to cover the, the a public get interested in other things and then eventually the political leaders move on to different subjects. the ukrainians are very keen that this should be number one issue. every time he speaks presence, lensky says that he is on the front line fighting a war. and if he fails than the war will get closer to some of these other nations

that are here represented in davis and jones bays in davis for now. thank you. also speaking of the world economic forum, the mayor of katara called on journalists, lies to be respected the matter where they come from. al jazeera journalist shane our clay was fatally shot by israeli forces on may. the 11th sheila, i christine palestinian american journalist was killed. 2 weeks ago in palestine and then robbed of a dignified burial, she was covering the suffering of the palestinian people for decades. and our hearts are broken. her death was just as horrific as the 7 journalists killed in ukraine since march of this year. and 18 other journalists killed in palestine since 2000. that statement came as the palestinian foreign minister

announced it has formerly asked international criminal court to investigate the killing of she and i will actually is ready for his shot. the al jazeera journalist, while she was on assignment in janine earlier this month, israel's military prosecutor, has called on the army to conduct an in depth investigation. with abraham has more from her mother and occupied west back. the posted in foreign ministry has said that it's referred as a file of shit, in black letters case in killing to the international criminal court. we know that in 2021, the prosecutor of the i. c. c. has said that it's opening an investigation into potential war crimes in the palestinian territory. and palestinians say that the killing of should in our broccoli, is a war crime indeed than that has pushed that file and referred to the i. c. c. in addition to dozens of other files that have been filed over the past a year or so, including extra de, she'll killing the indigo as really settlement and

a palestinians hope and say that the international criminal court could be the only way to get justice for serene and other israeli crimes. now these really military prosecutor has said that it is ready i. we should be conducting an investigation urging one this. does it mean that the investigation would be open or that it has already been opened? this only means that the circles within the israeli army are talking about the potential of opening an investigation from our experience. it's been very rare that these really military opens investigations into killings of palestinians. and in their rare cases it does. it almost never leads to an indictment and when it does lead to an indictment, the light at the sentence is usually light and palestinians say it's this proportionate to the crime. that's why they're hoping to get justice from the international criminal court for to moorhead on, on. these are including north careers that mean it is seen mosque this at the

funeral for close men torturing us, oregon code with mountain outbreak. and in sports, we'll hear from justin thomas, who's won the 2nd major golf type with his current ah, sorry, has warned the u. s. president not to underestimate beijing's resolve on taiwan. joe biden said he'd intervene militarily to defend the island from any invasion. he spoke in tokyo on an asia trip, he hopes will firm up relations with allies from that rob mcbride reports president joe biden came to japan to bolster one of the u. s. is most important alliances in the asia pacific at a time of multiple challenges across the region. but he may have worse and one of those regional flash points with less than tactful answers at the main use conference as he's done in the past. it came in response to

a question about whether the us would respond militarily to a chinese invasion, to take the island of taiwan. that bay ging regards as a break away territory. are you willing to get involved militarily to defend taiwan if it comes to that? yes, you are a 2nd member, we may the u. s. dance on taiwan has been far more ambiguous in the past. and the white house immediately had to release a statement, trying to clarify the u. s. position. but what sounded like a threat to china brought this response. hello, monkey, truthful the time on issue was purely china's internal affair, which won't stand for any foreign interference issues bearing on china's co interests, including the serenity and territorial integrity that is not for compromise or concession. no one should underestimate the chinese people's firm resolution. this is turned into something of a distraction in what is meant to be a strong show of unity against russian aggression. and also against increasing

military threats from china. as well as increased missile testing from north korea . as the only nation to have been subjected to an atomic attack, japan is deeply concerned by north korea's development of its nuclear arsenal. but it's also troubled by the increasing assertiveness of china with ongoing territorial disputes in the east china sea. uri table touched it as a major power. china has significant responsibilities, also in the economic field to live up to that responsibility. i think it is important for japan to work with the united states to encourage china to fulfill its responsibilities. in accordance with international rules. i think such attitudes are important. biden has also used the trip to launch the indo pacific economic framework. an initiative aimed at safeguarding and developing production of critical commodities like advanced semiconductors and setting universal standards for labor and environmental protection. it's very, very clear that from

a mary cost perspective, china is now the biggest competitor on all fronts. and as a result of that, what america is doing now is building alliances across the world. this visit will culminate in a summit meeting of the leaders of the so called quad security alliance, led by the u. s. and seen as a further attempt to constrain china militarily in the region. rob mcbride al jazeera took you landmark is a senior research fellow at the center for china and liberalization. he joins us on skype formation and thanks for being on the program here today. so want to extend your items, comments about taiwan being regarded by china as some kinds of threats. well, i think we have to be very careful here carry the optimistic on this. and it was just an expression of what the white house officials had reiterated

that there is no change in the u. s. is one china policy because the question, if you listen carefully, the question that was asked was, would the u. s. intervene militarily and we can interpret this perhaps a little bit of a legalistic interpretation, but not deploying military forces, but perhaps sticking to the taiwan relations act, providing defensive equipment to time could be considered a military intervention. now of course, if we see it as a deviation from this long standing policy, this would be very provocative and very, very dangerous. so i mean, white house officials then attempt to clarify the u. s. position. so in reality, is there any change to the u. s. pitch no, the taiwan. well again,

i think it really depends how we interpret president biden's response that yes, the us would intervene militarily. now that means following the requirements of the taiwan relations act, then it would not, of course, be shipped. now the danger we run into here is that if there is indeed a church that we have to remember that this notion of strategic ambiguity was not meant for train is that it was actually meant to protect us. because if the u. s gave a security guarantee to taiwan. it could very well end up in the situation of the tail wagging the dog. meaning that this would in bernard drive the u. s. into a conflict that it would not want to be. and to use, to paraphrase something from the movie rocking stories, sylvester stallone,

you know, we have to be careful here as the you, as president by do writing a check that the u. s. can't cash. this is the danger that it could lead to needless escalation and a highly, he stabilize the situation in the asia pacific region and with danger. then how could this feed into the coming cycle called meeting of leaders led by the us? well this is i think it's another very, very important question which ukraine conflict has shown that the rhetoric, the message is that the west, the quad is united against what the u. s. has card this epic balance between democracy is an tok receives, but we've seen a number of countries including india, which is one of the 4 countries in the quad. actually not taking a stand against russia. so i think we really have to see how things play out

politically. australia just elected a new prime minister india again, while he stated and it's independence and match those words by actions as well. so it remains to be seen again. it's very clear that the u. s has moved to a much more overtly confrontational stance versus china. but what is unclear is how many other countries are willing to go along for the ride. we should leave it that an anti market senior research, probably about the center for china and globalization. thanks for your time today. thank. you. know, the 1st case of monkey pox has been discovered in denmark, multiple european countries, including germany, austria, portugal and france also detected several cases for the past few days. infection

spreads through close contact, causing body stores and fever, but he's rarely fatal. we've seen a few cases in europe over the last 5 years just in travelers, but this is the 1st time we're seeing cases across many countries at the same time . and people who have not traveled at to the, to the endemic regions in africa heard about the ars with the often broken and pixel in the world wide outbreak of monkey pox infections is so unusual that it's a cause for concern. and the question is whether it will developed like previous monkey pox outbreaks. rather we must take into consideration that the way the virus spreads could mean it changed. so we must react quickly and decisively now to contain a global outbreak. we are in close contact with national and international authorities as well as scientists. and let's get some perspective on this now. dr. mohammed min air is that biology, stat lancaster university where his search also focuses on the do not at viruses. he joins us by skype from lancaster,

thanks for being here on the program. so in terms of transmission and cases statistically, how concerning is this? at the moment they seem to be some conflicting views here. yes, certainly, i mean it is, it is not to be a panic, but certainly it is worrying because that the a, the virus is surprising and has not been devoted to before. and the virus is not new to us, is that on 60 years old virus was detected in 1957. but this time in 2022 is the 1st time when the large number of cases are reported once in europe and in america . so looking on to the group picture and seeing how it is surprising, i think certainly there's something unusual and that is where the space is that we need to be extremely cautious that we can contain an early stages beyond. and it's a product globally and to the countries, mira has not been reported before, and we can contain it at the stage of it, it's inception. so people watching will be thinking, well, what are the symptoms and, and how serious is it?

if you contracted the disease itself is very itself limiting. and so people don't really need to do anything and it will subside by itself. but it started with a fever, itching and muscle pain. and if the disease prior to further and develop further than people start seeing some blisters and those blister would have a pos in there, and ultimately those will burst and will i added some execute come out of it and that is the source of contamination. for instance, if somebody would have a blue blister on their skin and its skin to skin contact with support of the infection. so anybody you see a itching, along with fever and have some level of mr. development. that is the time to contact your health care providers and certainly there would be tests to confirm whether that is the case, but not averaging would be a monkey pulse infection. so how unusual is it that is spreading to areas that wouldn't normally spread? yeah, normally

a monkey box was his or confined to the rural areas and around the rain forest because that is where we contact with the animals and the the midas brand, that's why we called you nordic infection because natalie had come from animal to the human. but this time, the situation is slightly different because we are seeing more in the areas at the cases in, in europe and, and in america and canada and israeli. many other countries are joining the countries where the cases are being reported. and more importantly, there is a know, a single connection between all these cases, which mean that there are a lot more other cases that are ongoing. and somehow of course, they have started at some point either to problem or to contact with animals. they've been imported into the developing nation, but that also mean that the communities need to be watch very closely. a lot more cases will come up as we move along. so given what you say, then, what can sciences do to better understand what's happening? well, at this moment, our primary efforts f efforts are going to seek was the genome to see if this

genome off this monkey plus why that is getting into the euro particle related to the one. those are in africa. and if it didn't, and the monkey box was, there are 2 classes that we want to make sure that the class that is surprising into the, into the europe is confined to the low, pathogenic, or high pathogenic license. once we have that, do not take information, we will be able to demonstrate about the chicken pox. the smallpox, sorry, the vaccine that is proposed to be used against the monkey pot would have some level of protection or not. so certainly a lot of need to be watch it more importantly, this disease, monkey pox. why does it sunk in europe in america? not actively new, fast case outside of africa was in 2003 in america since then there because product cases. but we don't really have a lot of information how this disease will run its course in europe, and america. ok. talk mohamad minette far ologist at lancaster university. thank

you for insights today. thanks for having me. a subtle waters are receding in ne, kindly, desperate rescue workers are struck into each millions of stranded people. many rivers are still floating above dangerous levels of the days of heavy rain. at least 57 people have been killed. west flooding in any 2 decades can be chantry has more from sil hit on the difficulties people are facing. you can see a similar sense for miles after miles and sure. i'm gotten distinct where village homes are submerged. schools are inundated with water. the villagers, we have been talking to in this area so they haven't seen flood like this in many years. most of them are desperate need for freshwater, dry food and even financial assistance there said so far they have not received anything from the government or from the local politician or any angels. right now what the need most is medicine, fresh water and dry food. they're desperate need for those sit russian have

somewhat improved, the water level has gone down. there has been no rain for last few days on the village. i was hoping it stays this way. however, if the rain continues and coming days and on rush of water from not this, india comes into bangladesh. again, the situation could again deter it. meanwhile, some of the major rivers in bangladesh have been swelling and flooding in the north, central part of bangladesh. those that flood waters are affecting the north east indian state as well of a sun that hundreds of thousands of homeless drinking water is scarce. and they are running out of food. having the town is them with flood waters submerging the homes and drown in their fields. hundreds of thousands of families across the state of a sam in north east india had been forced to flee, were in a gov district. the was effected district in the state. and thousands of people have come here to these railway tracks. it's one of the few stretches of land that

elevated and still dry, if pitch tens and are making do with whatever little they could grab. so some food, little clothing risking their lives as trains go up and down these tracks. they said they've been here for days and don't know when they'll be able to return, regardless. yeah, bombarded. our homes are submerged in flood waters. so we have come to live on the real tracks again, we are facing many problems with our children. we haven't received any relief nor any toppling sheets. we have no drinking water, no food. we are facing a lot of difficulties across the state. more than 90000 people are and relief camps and rescue and relief operations are ongoing, both by air and by boat. monson season is set to arrive in the region in a few weeks. and usually these bring heavy showers and heavy flooding, export se climate changes ordering weather patterns in south asia, making extreme weather events like this one more common and more severe. should

anchors, economic crisis is at leading to a critical shortage of essential drugs, dr. sworn. it could lead to the death of cancer patients. the government has suspended debt payments as it grapples with its worst economic crisis since independence. when it's smith report. for many patients it shall anchors main cancer hospital. the recent economic crisis has become a matter of life or death. 80 percent of medical supplies are imported, but there's hardly any foreign currency to pay for them if why mature, for fuel. ultimately, the people will look a few cruel down the queue for the guess. ultimately they lose the guess. but is the essence her on queue for the ducks. they will lose their life. doctors at the hospital said they've been forced to suspend tasks and postpone procedures and even critical surgeries, happy thing, and my mother in law our lives are at risk because of that we're always living in fear. we don't know whether we will have medicines or not saying the hospital is

short of injections for dialysis patients. some cancer drugs and medicines for people who have had organ transplants, foreign donors including japan and india helping. but it'll take 2 to 4 months for the drugs to arrive. much of the blame for sure lank as economic collapse is being laid at the feet of president got to buy a raja paxis. he's on the right is swearing in new ministers under his family. chill anchor, borrowed heavily to fund a large bureaucracy and military and vanity construction projects. elder brother may hinder roger paxis resigned as prime minister nationwide for in his place. renelle wit, rama singer, has been appointed tasked with forming a unity government wick. grandma singer said that when the roger paxis returned to power in 2019, there was $7500000000.00 in foreign reserves. now, the government says there's nearly nothing left. bernard smith, al jazeera,

still ahead on al jazeera, thousands gone, and more on the way white nigerian doctors are leaving their home that any sport to men of being charged by u. k. police are to pitch invasion that route to city stadium. ah hello. we got more of that hot and dusty weather across much of the middle east, scotty. dry and fine winds will pick up as we go on through the next couple of days . so the chance of a shamal coming in across that to eastern side of the arabian peninsula, 41 celsius here in doha with the lifted dust and sand. let's put further north. we got some unsettled weather coming out of turkey, just around the caucuses between the backseat and the caspian. so some showers always a possibility over the next day or so,

as is the case to into afghanistan. paterny dry here. by the time we come to wedding stay further west, where we do have largely dry weather across northern parts of africa. it is essentially settled and sunny. sorry, a cloud here just round so hard that they will even produce one or 2 spots of light rain for a time for the south at sea. the dusty weather makes its way across the sherry to northern parts of nigeria because an officer seeing some of that, some showers once again, all the way from sierra leone. right, across garner, pushing across into a good part of nigeria. cameroon. and over to was the riff valley, but on the other side of the rift valley, it's still disappointingly dry. there's a chance of one or 2 showers in eastern parts of kenya may be into somalia, but not as widespread as i should be. to the south. that is gen retry fine, sunny and pleasant. ah, 2 young women in morocco staying with local families. morocco really is

definitely changed my life in a good way. american students learning to live in north africa and getting better at haggling and shopping and morocco, al jazeera world photos, that journeys of cultural emotion leading to some surprising consequences. an american in my home on al jazeera now the answer was an arabic, my name is talent. i was abducted by the c. i a in 2004, a german citizen was kidnapped and tortured by garcia. they came up with handcuffs . them led me into interpretation. a new documentary tells the story of how the geo politics of the post 911 world grew in the life of an innocent theo mastery case. coming soon on, al jazeera lou

. ah, you're watching. i'll just reminder about top storage. now. this palestinian foreign ministry has announced it has formerly asked international criminal court to investigate the killing offshoot. a claim is ready forces shots, the al jazeera journalist watches on assignment engine in early this month. a russian soldier has been sentenced to life in prison by ukrainian court for war crimes. 21 year old admitted killing us of it in the north eastern sunni region was the 1st such trial since russia invaded ukraine. ukraine's president has urged the international community to provide more financial aid to rebuild his country. after russia's invasion on america,

lensky was addressing the world economic forum in davos or russian soldiers are clearing mines of the as a style still works out of the surrender of ukrainian troops. they were hold up for weeks in the industrial area, making a last stand against russian forces who captured the rest of my reports. much for the southern port city is in ruins. live to door search a bar in moscow for us now door. so what more do we know about the fate of those who surrendered from the still thought? well, and there are conflicting reports from various different officials. we've been hearing from the leader of the don units, people's republic down his per shaelyn, who said earlier, a monday that authorities in his a republic are working on organizing an international tribunal. that would see members of the as off battalion be put before a trial in court to answer for their alleged war crimes. that according to at

denny's per shilling, the head of the done yachts, people's republic. now, those people that were evacuated from the as of style steel plant are of course being held in those territories that are in the control of they don't yet people's republic. so that's the leaders from that area. we understand there is now at nearly 2500 people that are being held by russian officials. and we also have been hearing from one of the deputy foreign ministers here in moscow who said earlier on monday that the russian officials are in direct contact at with ukrainian officials about the possibility of carrying out a prisoner exchange for the time being. that is still a being discuss. we've also been hearing from various lawmakers in the state duma, about what they would like to see happen to members of the as of battalion among the people that have surrendered to the russians from the plant. it. they believed

that they should also be put forth before a court and to answer for their alleged crimes. some of them have even called for the death penalty to be reinstated. and what is not clear at the moment is that how many people are from the 2478 that are in russian custody are actually members of the as of battalion. we don't have any specific number. so i think that will be also significant when and if that figure is released for the time being, there are various different levels of government discussing what should happen. and we understand, according to the ukranian president, there were other countries involved in and negotiating the release and surrender of those people that were evacuated. and as of last friday, so there is a lot of different moving parts and a lot of different people that are involved in the ongoing discussions about what should happen to these people, the ukrainians that have surrendered for the time being the russians have very different views and also where things stand with any negotiation process between

russia and cry. well, as far as we know, as the negotiation process, which began on february 28th, just a few days after russia began its so called special military operation into ukraine . those had been ongoing all this time until about 10 days ago when we heard from the russian president vladimir putin. he said that they have now stopped the negotiation process. he of course, put the blame on the ukranian side saying that they were not serious about this process. we also understand that the russians have submitted a document to the ukrainians and the end of april and they are still waiting to hear back about what the ukrainians think. as far as we understand the negotiations have now reached a stalemate and they haven't continued. since the past few weeks, but according to the russian officials, they believed that once the ukrainians decide to come back to the negotiating table, the russians will be ready and willing to do so. but of course, there's

a lot of things that are remaining outstanding, and that is, of course, the fate of what would happen to crimea, which russia antics in 2014 and the dumbass region in ukraine. okay, dor search of our live in moscow. thank keith. iran's president is vowing to avenge the killing of a senior revolutionary gods officer and tyron, gung men on 2 motorcycles shot dead, colonel santiago, all the ye in his car outside his home. the taxes are still at lodge pediasure. i emphasize the serious pursuit of secure 2 officials into the killing of the coronel and i have no dug the revenge for the blood of the great martyr against the criminals will definitely be taken well, as our zeros army has shown, reports, iranian officials have suggested israel may have been behind the attack, we heard from the iranian review, teddy got the spokesperson,

also going to avenge for the blood of food. i eat the spokesperson for the armed forces, chicago g. while keeping a distance from pointing the finger immediately towards israel. he hinted that the american, the zionist entity, as he said, are responsible for the centers of terrorism in the region. and this is kind of in ching, a bit closer to accusing israel of being behind this attack. now it seems that we are in the middle of a shadow war between israel and the urine. now no one is really claiming responsibility for any attack on both sides. but the, the, the foot friend saw, clear because of this confrontation that has been going on for, for a long time. and as we know, there are many points of end for the section and confrontation, whether it's in cdn. as we know that this i odyssey member or commander used to be

operating in syria and according to what sources were saying yesterday that he was responsible for the transferring the drawings from iran to syria. so this is, this is part of a bigger game and it seems that that is, that is a context at least 5 people have been killed in iran, out of the collapse of a 10 story building that was under construction. another 80 people mostly construction workers, are believed to be buried under the rubble in the southern at city of evidence. the owner of the building and the project manager has been arrested north korean leader kim jong has attended a funeral service for the man who helped train him to become supreme leader. the marshal di skeptics wonder about the true impact of a cobra. 1900 outbreak, the hardy is more the, the only man not wearing a mask mourning the loss of his mentor. north korean leader kim jong own helped

carry the casket of the army marshal, who groomed him to become supreme leader kimball sanction came down on the current guy. his ascension wasn't guaranteed. there are other possibilities. there are a lot of people that there might be a military coup, for example, because he wasn't really very well known. he'd been living outside of the country for a while. and so my sense is that this is somebody will help them along and that's probably you know what? this was the patio, which this is one of the most senior military leaders to have died in north korea. since the coven 19 pandemic began, north korea denied the very existence of the pandemic until last week. now its state media are reporting millions of people are sick with an, an identified fever and that 65 people have died. north korean defectors and aid groups say it's health care system isn't ready for an outbreak of the size i've been in. are going to seen that i've actually seen them like cranking trucks with the crank back in 1937. you know, i'm really, they, they still use that kind of stuff and they're in a road. so even gave them the vaccines that they need,

having him get him there. so it's just going to cut through the but the bottom here, the society is a site. i mean it's going to, it's going to kill an enormous amount of people in north korea has resisted all international offers of vaccines, including from neighboring south korea. was going to include because we don't know what the consequences of this on the cron variant will be when it spreads to a large number of people who have never been in contact with coven 19. there are enough reasons to pay attention to this with interest. analysts say the virus is surgeon, while north korea says it's cases are subsiding, mass events like this funeral come at a time when people are being encouraged to stay home. as the leader morn since the health of his nation remains unknown. leah harding al jazeera on a 1000 people in iraq have been hospitalized because of a severe sandstorm airport. some schools have been closed in several cities and also in neighboring kuwait. this is a 9th of sandstone to hit iraq since mid april 30. so the increased frequencies
