for the father, the son and the g. hi, part one on al jazeera. from the al jazeera london broadcast then tack to people in thoughtful conversation with no host and no limitations this decade is of most consequential decade in advance is she doth plot to many companies that are doing bad things in the front. in part 2 of human rights activists, q me 19, and environmental. if we known in the tape the systems that are not working, but the longer that you fight them, the more that things change studio be unscripted on al jazeera. ah, this is al jazeera ah,

hello, i'm carrie jones to this is, and these are alive from bill coming up in the next 60 minutes. ukrainian court sentences are russian soldier to life in prison for war crimes. as well leaders meeting 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 journalist. sure, mean, i will. actually, china warns the us not to underestimate his commitment on taiwan or to joe biden said washington would defend the island from any invasion and support. the king of clay proves he still got a 13 time french helping champion rapid dal demolishes his opponent jordan thompson to reach the 2nd round at the french open with.

ah, a russian soldier has been sentenced to life in prison by ukrainian court for war crimes. 21 year old about him, she married, admitted killing an unarmed civilian in the north eastern sumi region is the 1st such trials since russia invaded ukraine 3 months ago. same was robbie has more from kiff. what we have here is a gentleman named him. she marin, a 21 year old tank commander in the russian military. he was accused of killing a civilian, a 62 year old resident of a village and assuming the region in the initial days of the war. now, what sister mary 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 adjourned, with regards to russian soldiers being accused of war crimes. in this, in this war, in the east, a battle has been raging for the town of solid up. i said, beg,

managed to get in it during a pause in fighting for days. the town of solid door has been kicked by russian artillery. the ukrainians still hold it. were one of the few to gain access to this in battle town. we entered on foot without a military escort. the streets are empty. a crater left behind in the middle of the town. another in front of a residential building. others destroyed rather lovely, lovely live when we just came out. we were in a flood, but at night we're sleeping in the basement. i'm here because my daughter is ill. i leave, i am, where am i to go? they take us to their basement where we find others sheltering from the shelling you. wow, look devil way at night at 1 o'clock in the morning there may be shelling or the

whole evening or like a few days before throughout the morning. or there was such a big bomb, there was mud everywhere. and lots of fire. despite the war, the destruction and the constant bombardment. some here still support russia. we've blurred this man's face for his own protection. joe, got you right, you god, why are you wearing helmet? a. discuss the guy. augusta right. see a red check for waterloo. garcia. redo russia will be here to victory. dumbass was always russian. the artillery battle begins again. the one is now going into their basement. it's usually a good indication of the fact that something may be coming back in. usually what happens is the ukraine's required the roughly before i move, you can return 500 equated the fi. it will be going into the basement that that

side possibly get out of it. so the door is in a strategic location. if russian forces managed to take it, it enables them to strike anything within sight the ukrainian forces i desperately tried to stop them. i said, bake. i'll da 0. saw the death of a conflict in ukraine dominated day one of the world economic forum endeavors. it crenan the president for the mass lensky addressed the world's richest and most powerful individuals via video inc, and appealed for billions. morling financial help on diplomatic edits. james base reports from daniels, the 1st main speaker at this year's world economic forum meeting was not in devil's precedence. that sky continues to direct military efforts and keep it has not left his country since the russian invasion. he appealed for more funding for the defense for his country and to pay for its reconstruction. the minimum bed out of

the green needs funding, at least $5000000000.00 us dollars per month. this is why stablish the fund for rebuilding ukraine for the cold united 24. when you call upon everyone to join the presidency. lensky called for russian assets in the west to be seized and given to ukraine. the head of a leading think tank told me it's proposal. it's now likely to be discussed in capitals. an interesting debate that will emerge soon is whether the europeans in north americans will move from freezing, rushed from state assets to seizing those state assets. and using put into war chest as ukraine's reparation fund. and that is a debate that we haven't yet had in the international economic community. because of co that this is dev also isn't happening in the snow in january. it was cancelled last year and postponed earlier. this year, normally, russian officials attend, but this year the building used for the russia house exhibition center has been

transformed to highlight human rights abuses, has been renamed, the house of russia and war crimes. the war in ukraine will continue to reverberate around dive. also, meetings continue here this week, not just the events on the ground, but the economic effects with a similar tiniest global energy crisis and global food crisis. james bays al jazeera devil's pentagon has been holding a briefing about the conflicts in ukraine, corresponded practical high and is just back from that briefing. so patsy. whether any new developments in terms of us, a few not necessarily from the u. s. this is the 2nd meeting of the so called ukraine working group. they had one last month in germany. they were around 40 countries participating. then now they say that added an additional 5 countries . what i was watching for is to see if the u. s. would announce as they were giving ukraine additional weapons system, the things you the ukrainians have been asking for them. what longer range

artillery they went fighter jets. they didn't make any announcements from the us side. but they did highlight what other countries are doing especially grateful to denmark, which announced today that it will provide a harpoon launcher and missiles to help ukraine defend its coast. and also like to thank the czech republic torch, substantial support including a recent donation of attack, helicopters, tanks and rocket systems. and today, several countries announce new donations are critically needed artillery systems and ammunition, including italy, greece, norway, and poland. the cranium military's capacity to defend their homeland against russia attack is directly tied to the quality and quantity of the assistance they are receiving. so the harpoon missile there could be very important since these ukrainians were able to down that russian ship the black sea. according

to pentagon officials here, the russian ladies kept their ship much farther off. so having additional harpoon missiles couldn't make the russians living not once to do any sort of, uh, maritime invasion. or it would in fact make it much more costly if they chose to. so this is a 2nd working group, they're going to meet monthly. the next time is in mid june, and we believe that will be in brussels. have to go home cocaine, i should say life for i saw that the pants can thank you. also speaking of the world economic forum, the ear of cut are called on journalists, lives to be respected, no matter where they come from. or the 0 journalist sharing our clay was fatally shot by is when he forces on may the 11th shooting of walker. i christine palestinian. american journalist was killed 2 weeks ago in palestine and then robbed of a dignified burial. shitty 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. but that comment came as the palestinian foreign ministry announced. it is formerly asked the international criminal court to investigate the killing of sri and i will actually, israel's military prosecutor has called on the army to conduct an indepth investigation. either abraham has more from romano in the occupied wes back. the posted in foreign ministry has said that it's referred the file of shit in a black leather casing 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 fires that have been filed over the past a year or so, including extra to show killing the illegal is 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 an investigation would be open or that it has already been opened? this only me is 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 the israeli military opens investigations into killings of palestinians and in their rare faces 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. we're staying with this sir. mustafah bogu t is secretary journal over palestinian national initiative and was the punish student information minister. he joins us or skype from romano, thanks for being on the program. so what, what's the process here then? how does it actually work? well the process is that the palestinian minister, cutty minister, has provided submission to the national criminal court. and it is supposed that the international criminal court should initiate an investigation. actually the icpc ruling says structures have indicated that that is sufficient indicators that award crime could have taken place in palestine by that israeli side. and they have asked the sissy to initiate the investigation. but we face, he had

a very serious problem because it seems that the prosecutor general of the i c is procrastinating when it comes to palestine and is using the double standards. i mean, for the 13 years we've been providing information to the i. c, and an investigation has not started yet. and in less than 2 months, he has sent $42.00 investigators to ukraine. i mean, the standard theory is very clear. so what is required is not only to provide information to the i see, but also what we need is a stronger the national pressure on the ice to see, to initiate its job, to start its work and investigate crimes including the crime of killing shooting clue which is very obvious and very clear with all the, with all the rules that, that are available already showing that it was unnecessary so. so joe, who shot realistically, then given what you say, how is this likely to play out?

well, as you can see, that is really using the, the, the bias american position, the lack of national pressure to the in favor trying to, to, to, to, to procrastinate an investigation or actually not have an investigation into the matter. and obviously the out of trying to prevent an independent national commission from coming to here and investigating just recently they have been evicted there to be on parliamentary european delegation to come to palestine. and that is an indicator of what they would do to an international commission that would come as an independent body. so what do we need? the it is not just demand of investigation. what we need the pressure on the israeli establishment where you are talking about the killing goals, no less than 55 palestinian jet since 2000 and also the killing under submission of medical order because of civilians of children. so what we need the syria to

establish sanctions and punitive acts against this not to allow is to continue to be above the international law and impunity of to accountability. ok, we'll have to leave it there. must have gotten bargain. secretary general of the palestinian national initiative, we very much appreciate your time here. thank you. thank you. thank offensive. morehead on the news i including desperate for fresh water and dry food. we have an update from the scene of devastating floods in bangladesh. on its 4th, harrison demands a superstar forward explains why he decided to stay in france, details coming up later in the program. ah, now china 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 ferment relations with allies or 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 news conference as he's done in the past. it came in response to a question about whether the u. s. 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. as a commitment, we made the u. s. stance 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 of 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 normal for compromise or concession. and 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 c. yardi title touched it as

a major power. china had significant responsibilities, also in the economic field to live up to that responsibility. i think it is important for japan to work with 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 else's

era took you and the mark. is there a senior research fellow at the center for china and globalization? he says, a change in us policy on time one could destabilize the asia pacific region, the optimistic tank on us. and it was just an, in felicitous expression of what 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. now the danger we run into here is that if

there is indeed a challenge that we have to remember, that this notion of strategic ambiguity was not meant for train as it was actually led to protect us. because if the u. s gave a secure, in guarantee to taiwan. it could very well end up in the situation of the tail wagging the dog. meaning that this would invoke the title, drag the us into a conflict, and to use, to paraphrase something from the movie rocky stories, sylvester stallone. you know, we have to be careful here as the you, as president by writing a check that the u. s. can't cash, and that this is the danger that it could lead to needless escalation and a highly stabilizing situation in the asia pacific region, north korean lee that came in july and has attended the funeral service for the man who helped train him to become a supreme leader, the marshal died as

a skeptics wonder about the true impact of a cobra 19 outbreak. the harding has more. the the only man not wearing a mask mourning the loss of his mentor. north korean leader kim jung own, helped carry the casket of the army marshal, who groomed him to become supreme. leader kim's essentially came down on the current guy. his attention wasn't guaranteed. there are other possibilities. there are a lot of people that there might be a military to, 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 you have to meet. 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 and get them there. so it's just going to cut through the but the bottom here that 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, and analysts say the virus is surgeon mon, 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 mourns the health of his nation remains unknown. leah harding al jazeera, i thought, was his

sit where i shouldn't 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 contin isn't coming days, and on rush of water from not this, india comes in to bangladesh. again, the situation could again deter it. meanwhile, some of the major rivers and bangladesh have been swelling and flooding in the north, central part of bangladesh. those flood waters also affecting the north, east indian state of a sun. tens of thousands, a homeless drinking water is scarce and they're running out of food. have me metal is there with flood waters submerging the homes and drown in the fields. hundreds of thousands of families across the state of asylum in ne india have 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

a lot has changed in terms of migrant numbers and the attitudes of people here behind me just to set the scene for you a little bit. we're outside of a health care facility that provides health services to migrants and asylum seekers . many of the folks that you see behind us here are haitian migrants, but we've also run into folks from central america. many folks from here in mexico, migrants from the southern part of mexico who are hoping to get their chance to plead case their asylum cases to u. s. officials. we should note that just about everyone that we've spoken to since we arrived early this morning here outside of this health facility in c one, a is well aware of the news and the debate playing out on the other side of the border in the united states over immigration, specifically over title 42, and the word that keeps popping up consistently is disappointment, disappointment, for a lot of people who had their hopes set very high, the title $42.00 would be lifted. that's the traditional asylum process in the united states would be reinstated and that folks would have an opportunity. many

folks have been here for months, some even years waiting for an opportunity to take those asylum cases and plead them to u. s. officials last week of is when that judge that district george does decided to block the bite administration's attempt to lift title 42. since then, we have seen demonstrations play out here on the streets of tiquana just last week, before the announcement of a judge that was demonstration outside of the u. s. consulate here in tiquana, just on sunday, that was a demonstration of also by migrants, migrants rights advocates who organized the demonstration, said that title 42 should be lifted, calling it a racist xena phobic policy that has served only to interrupt the traditional u. s. asylum process. okay, we'll leave it there. manual rapidly on the mexican, us bona, thanks for an update. but denmark has recorded its 1st case of monkey pokes many european countries, including germany and france, also detected several cases over the past few days. infection spread to close

contact causing body stores and fever, but it's rarely fatal as a whole nor reports. scientists and health agencies are trying to understand why monkey pox is suddenly spreading more widely than ever before been well studied in the african region. 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, in people who have not traveled to the, to the endemic regions in africa, endemic parts of central and west africa. in the past, it was generally confined to isolated cases outside that region. now with evidence of community transmission via post bodily contact across many countries, they'll be investigating whether the virus has become more transmissible. thus, and so and not from listen up as we applaud the question is whether it will develop like previous monkey pox outbreaks because we must take into consideration that the

way the volume spread could mean it changed. so we must react quickly and decisively now to contain a global album property again. and most of the symptoms are generally mild if unsightly, and often clear up on their own. but there are higher risk groups among the young and immunocompromised. so the european center for disease prevention and control is warning member states to gear up for possible vaccine distribution using remaining supplies of the vaccine that helped eradicate smallpox in the 1980s. the only concern, however, no one is signaling alarm for the broader population, the likelihood of breath is very no. however, the likelihood of further spread of the virus through close contact, for example, during sexual t v, it is among persons with multiple sexual partners is considered to be high in a world still racked by the code. 1900. pandemic societies have an advanced
