12:04 am
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 accused of war crimes. in this, in this war, or the conflict and ukraine dominated the 1st day of the world economic forum and divorce. ukrainian president roger music landscape, dressy, wealth, wealthy and powerful via video link. and appealed for billions more in financial health. diplomatic editor james phase reports from das, the 1st main speaker at this year's world economic forum meeting was not in devil's precedence and 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

12:06 am
but this year the building used for the russia house exhibition center has been transformed to highlight human rights abuses. it's been renamed, the house of russia and war crimes. the war and 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 well speaking at the world economic form that is well food program describe the critical need to get ukrainian products to market. to ease a global food crisis were facing the worst humanitarian crisis says. war to just when you think it couldn't get any worse over a year ago, you had ethiopia, then you had to have candice there. and then the bread basket of the world. this now got the longest bread lands of the world. and so now because of this price is we're taking food from the hungry to give to the starvin is absolutely
12:07 am
a crisis mode. what do you think is going to happen when you take a nation that normally grows enough food to feed for 100000000 people? and you sideline that. what do you think is going to happen? so look what you see in sri lanka, indonesia, peru, pakistan. that to keep going on, that is only a sign of things to come. and so over the next 10 to 12 months, we probably will have a significant, as we are having a pricing problem, is a perfect, stronger than a perfect storm. if we don't get the port of odessa open is only going to compound our problems. russian soldiers are carrying mines at the ass off style. steel works now after the surrender of ukrainian troops. they will hold up there for weeks and the industrial area making a law stand against russian forces. if captured the rest of mary a po, much of the southern port city is in ruins. watching the news, our life. i'm not much more sad for you on the program. it's been another sandstorm

12:09 am
abraham has more on this now from ramallah in the occupied westbank. the posted in foreign ministry has said that it referred the file of shit in a black bliss 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 city and broccoli is a war crime indeed. and 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 indian 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 is really crimes. now these wally military prosecutor, has said that it is regular. we should be conducting an investigation urging one
12:10 am
this. does it mean that an 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 lights and palestinians say it's this proportionate to the crime. that's why they're hoping to get justice from the international criminal court will mr. her borrowed, she is actually general of the palestinian national initiative and former palestinian information minnes step. he says the i c. c is guilty of double standards in its approach to crimes in the occupied territories. the icpc ruling says structures have indicated that there is there are sufficient indicators
12:11 am
that water crime could have taken place in palestine by the israeli side. and they have asked you to initiate them distribution. but we face here at 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 standard. i mean, for the 13 years we've been providing information to the investigation has not started yet. and in less than 2 months, he has sent $42.00 investigators to ukraine. i mean, the double standard theory is very clear. so what is required is not only to provide information to the i c, but also what we need is a stronger national pressure on the ice to see, to initiate its job, to start its work and investigate crimes including the crime of killing, shooting a clue which is very obvious and very clear was all there with all the proofs that are available already showing that it was an israeli soldier,
12:12 am

12:14 am
most of the harms round here, including ours, are all inundated with flood water. we have not received any kind of relief or help so far. no one even came over to see our situation with a few days of sunshine have brought some hope to many of the farmers here. we're trying to drive their pet is by the roadside implementing that. he's not reset it. it's been almost 2 weeks since our home was flooded. now the water is receding a little bit. so now we're trying to salvage some paddies. the flood sid ration may have improved in some areas, but some of the major rivers, like jonah and pot the have started to slow in on dating low areas in the south and north central bangladesh, causing wards from local farmers. trying to reach audrey al jazeera, should have gone to bangladesh. o u. n is saying that at least 4000000 people have been affected by floods in bangladesh and writes groups of warning that children in the region of also been severely affected by what's happening there. in bangladesh,

the 419 schools have been damaged. another 350 schools have been told that a makeshift shelters for at least 8 and a half 1000 people. along with their cattle and goats. in india's asked sam state more than 300 homes there have been destroyed. schools and child care centers have also suffered destruction across all 31 affected districts or people impacted by heavy pre monsoon rain and northern india stock and increasingly precarious situation. now, tens of thousands are left homeless. drinking water is gas and food supplies are running low poverty metal brings us this report now from now gown with flood waters submerging the homes and drown in the fields. hundreds of thousands of families across the state of sam in north east 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
12:16 am
elevated and still dry if pitch tents and are making do with whatever little they could grab some food. knitter 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 glucagon. we have been bothered, our homes are submerged in flood waters, them as we have come to live on the real track. and again, we are facing many problems with our children. we haven't received any relief in toppling shields in their families. we have no drinking water, no food. we are facing a lot of difficulties across the state. more than 90000 people are in relief, camps and rescue. unbelief 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. or
12:17 am
a sandstorm in iraq, meanwhile, is forced airports and schools that to close street in the capital. baghdad were mostly empty. the thick blanket of dust covered the capital and other cities. thousands of people have been hospitalized with breathing difficulties. 30 say the frequency of sandstorms is related to climate change and record low rainfall ma'am, would have to why it has more from baghdad. life is getting back to normal in better dads is streets following the sand. the storm that hit the country on monday, forcing a closure of our spaces in airports and also are forcing a closer overstate in institutions. are schools, universities, and many other state facilities? now, many people were sent to the hospital to receive medical treatments because they suffered from suffocation because of the dust. thompson, in fact,
12:18 am
dozens of thorns of dust were carried over by the de sandstorm over many provinces across iraq. this is the lines sandstorm to hit the country since the beginning of april. it has been war sitting in iraq for many reasons that is related to the climate change dissertation. also lack of rain or lack of or sorted of water delivered. it's because of the damming pro bro programs by both dorothy, any ron that have dirt springs of the main sources of water in iraq, the tigris and euphrates rivers. will united nations as saying more than a 100000000 people have been forced from now homes all around the world? this is mainly because of violence, persecution, and extreme weather. this is more than double the figure compared to 10 years ago. he 100000000 number amounts to more than one percent of the global population. only 13 countries in the world have
12:19 am
a bigger population. number of displaced people jump from 41000000 in 2012 to more than 79000000 in 2019 driven by growing crises in places like syria, yemen, the sa hell and venezuela. the crone of ours pandemic made things even worse. and then there's also violence in countries like afghanistan, burkina, faso, the d i, c, e o, p a, me and mar, and nigeria is all conflicts. iraq deal getting worse last year in 2021. and that helped push that number to 90000000 by the end of 2021. this year of course, is seen the war and ukraine. 8000000 people have been displaced within the country . more than 6000000 refugees of fled across borders. but conflict is not the only driver of displacement. natural disasters account for most new internal displacement. driving 23700000 people from their homes in 2021. well use if jamil as a research manager at project draw down. this is an organization focused on finding
12:20 am
climate solutions and joins is now from salt lake city in the united states. and so the people who are displaced by climate related events or disasters are often the most vulnerable with perhaps, or the least means or sources to be able to adapt very hostile environments. are we seeing different issues increasingly coming together more and more interrelated? food security, violence displacement, and climate change now contributing to more and more refugees and displacement. yes, thank you so much for having on the show. absolutely. you know, climate change affects all of us, but it doesn't affect all of us equally. those living in parity who are younger or our ethnic minorities indigenous people are dwarfed, impacted by climate change. then we give you a stat and this was before the ukraine war,
12:21 am
probably before the corner. our standing me, according to ward bank climate change, will push about 120000000 people back into poverty by going to 30 and looking at the way the can is it looks like this number could be much, much higher. and absolutely, you know, the way we are seeing an increase in st. rent. all these are contributing to disproportionately affect the people who are least responsible for climate change. you know, in many cases, you know, these people have, has, have no means, you know, they are there live on the work of already. and they are one flood, one route away. as you saw him in, often in bangladesh, in doing the recent heap with in india and pakistan on the worst impacted are the people who leased contributed to this change and are also the least equipped to handle climate change. and with all these global politics, conflicts, war b,
12:22 am
r one who suffered the most. so this is the unfortunate reality of climate change. speaking of conflict countries suffering the most in this, we were just speaking was just saying images there of sandstorms in iraq. and now this is something that has been getting much worse recently, but it wasn't just iraq. we saw thick clouds of sand across all the parts of the region as well in iran and syria, sending people to hospital with breathing problems. obviously, flights and airports couldn't function. how much was, is this going to get in the coming months and years? oh, it doesn't look good. and you know, at the current project creek a, all the work i can warm up the 2.5, the surface. and we, according to die, if you feel we should peak by 2025 to a stop the war on war in bell above 2 degrees house. yes. our to limit the warming
12:23 am
to 1.5 degrees celsius. and that is the reason why the war leaders agreed on 1.5. so see if it's because at bad temperature or below that temperature, you know, we can still conquer a lot of heating, warming that has come along. but if you cross those temperature trash or you know, it will be the tipping point, we can see the rain forest turning on or we can see a lot of a greenhouse gas, carbon dioxide meeting emanating from the boil forest. so really, you know, if we don't talk at the temperature of the global warming to well below 2 degrees celsius, the future doesn't look good at all. if anything div will become much more common, frequent grout, free flooding, you know, a forest fire see long term drought steadwood extent tend to be 20 years, will become much more common. so really, you know, it's really urgent and somebody, if you don't get the idea why 1.5,
12:24 am
see such an important number. and that's why it is important because the want to stop the earth from a snowballing, you know, into an ward that we don't know off. it was just also saying image is a deepening humanitarian crisis in south asia where floods in india or bangladesh affected millions of people in the supreme on sin floods. so which suggests that a monsoon is gone, it could be much less. could you just tell me how concerned you our route south asia and countries in africa? how urgent is the situation now? those 2 regions? i mean, i mean, i'm really concerned by both the region. saltisha is home to about 1500000000 people and africa, especially sub saharan africa seeing a rapid increase in population. it's home to the youngest people in the world. i'm done fortunate reality if these 2 regions are the worst impacted by climate change . you know, if you look at north india, you know, the heat, there were absolutely unthinkable 50 degrees celsius it's. it's too much for
12:25 am
a human being to handle. and we saw that there was laura barricades because of the increased demand and who are the worst impacted one second, people who don't have the resources, you know, who don't have a relative form of energy to, to meet their demand. you know, there is water shortage because everyone wants water. so really, the situation doesn't look that good. and on top of it, what we will see is that there will be cycle soft, extreme drought, extreme even followed by flooding. you know, because a lot of prediction also shows that the walk effect will intensify as the world warn sub. so we see the huge extreme rainfall even during the month. and that could be vested in, you know, in eastern part of india and bangladesh experienced flooding on a regular basis. now imagine if those studies are even more intense in the coming decades. you know, it's going to be very, very challenging and difficult and seem for sub saharan africa. you know, there is
12:26 am
a lot of food shortage already the farming that you have gone down. and if you don't, burger's the, the shoes right now, you know, if you don't adapt, if you don't in wrist in climate solutions, right? not that can help people, communities and countries adapt to climate change. it's going to go much worse. very unfortunately, very important point. you mention about the knock on effect on food supply and water gas t. yeah. and can use of jemila, appreciate it. oh, now china has warned the u. s. president not to underestimate beijing's resolve on taiwan. joe biden said he'd intervene mat militarily to defend the island from any invasion in speaking and toko on asia trip. he hopes will firm up relations with allies. narrow 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
12:27 am
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. that's a commitment. we may 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, palo monkey crucial the taiwan issue of purely china's internal affairs. 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
12:28 am
concession. and no one should underestimate the chinese people farmers solution. 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 carrier in china, has significant responsibilities. also an economic field to revoke that responsibility. i think it is important for japan to work with the united states to encourage china to collect responsibilities. and according to international rules, i say, 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
12:29 am
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 lines led by the us and seen as a further attempt to constrain china militarily. in the region, rob mcbride al jazeera took you still at the news hour life from london. national still to bring you on the program, cut off from critical medicine. doctors. one shall anchor sparring, economic crisis is putting cancer patients at rest and in sport, the final home meltdown that caused this go for a shot at his 1st major championship.
12:30 am
ah, hell i, we have a salary breakdown. so our heat wave across western parts of europe, that illusion the heat across spain ports go into good parts of france or the cloud showing up here is a thunder area of low pressure which will continue to make its way further. east was ahead of us still some heat in place down to will to se 30 celsius therefore bell gray. there we go. with those heavy and foundry showers rolling across the low countries. by the time we come to choose day where to weather also coming in the cross, sir, norway, sweden coming down across poland, austria through switzerland and back down to war, spain and portugal. then those showers will drift a little further east, which as we go on through where wed, stay where to weather coming back in behind then,
12:31 am
so we will see some crowd and bright all the way up towards the baltic states. tad kohler there for vienna, get him to 34 celsius in belgrade. hot and sticky, humid weather here, 31 celsius fine and dry. therefore, athens is largely far to dry to across northern parts of africa. or charles, have one or 2 showers just cropping up around the atlas mountains over the next day or so. plenty of showers may mile across west africa as they should be. susan, heavy down paws coming in across molly kin, faso heavy showers all the way from liberia, sierra leone, and into much of nigeria. ah, the, from the al jazeera london broadcast into 2 people in thoughtful conversation with no host and no limitations this decade is of most consequential dictated events is off for too many companies that are doing bad things in the front. in part 2 of human rights activists. q me, no, i do. and environmental if we known and the to,
12:32 am
12:33 am
welcome back. the main stories. now, a russian tank commander has been sentenced to life in prison by ukrainian course for war. i'm a deem it she, she married, admitted killing an unarmed civilian in the northeast in sumi reach and said he'd been acting on orders 21 year olds. trial is the 1st of its kind since russia invaded ukraine 3 months ago. clouds caused by pre monsoon range, causing havoc in india or bangladesh. dozens of people have been killed, tens of thousands announced and it and many are still waiting for help. palestinian officials formerly fall the case of international criminal court over the killing of our desert john history and she was shot in the head via ready forces while on assignment. and janine, earlier this month, our cases of the monkey pox continue to rise around the world with some countries introducing strict isolation measures for any one exposed to a confirmed infection. experts as ng quit action is needed to prevent
12:34 am
a global outbreak. journal hall 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 by close bodily contact across many countries, they'll be investigating whether the virus has become more transmissible, not feeling so good luck and listen up as a lot. the question is whether it will develop like previous monkey pox outbreaks. we must take into consideration that the way the virus spread could mean it changed
12:35 am
. so we must react quickly and decisively now to contain a global outbreak on most and 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 activities among persons with multiple sexual partners, is considered to be high. in a world still wrecked by the cause of 1900 pandemic societies have an advanced
12:36 am
understanding of viral spread and protection. testing contact, tracing, self isolation, and basic hygiene. our household concepts so containing a disease like monkey pox should be relatively easy. joe. the whole al jazeera, the biden administration says it's going to appeal a recent court decision that blocks its plans to remove a trump era of policy. on friday, a federal judge rule that title 42 should stay in place. this allows us officials to deport asylum seekers to their home countries or to the last country of transit measure was introduced 2 years ago in order to slow a sprite of covered 19 as go lives in money raffle. and you want to, on the mexico, us border, lot of concern from human rights organizations that this contravene, the right to asylum on the american and international law would have people there saying to you, what is it? what is it like where you are in terms of
12:37 am
what things are like is very much like things were just last week before a us district judge decided to block that effort by the by administration to live title 42. there's quite a bit of traffic here. at the sunny futile border crossing quite a bit of pedestrian traffic behind me. this is a port of entry into the united states, one of the big border crossings in the world. and in terms of things staying the same, things have stay the same for thousands of migrants that for lack of a better term, are stranded here on this side of the us mexico border. but make no mistake. folks are very much aware of the debate playing out on the other side of the border in the united states. over title $42.00. we visited a health care facility earlier today that tends to the needs of migrants and asylum seekers and just the face of despair. the face of disappointment, disappointment being a word that kept popping up throughout the course of the day. many people saying
12:38 am
that they are abreast of the news in the united states. many of them saw today, monday as a day that would mark and ends of title 42 for thousands of migrants who have been growing desperate for an opportunity to plead their asylum cases. t u. s. officials just last week before that decision by us district court. there were demonstrations here in mexico at the outside. the u. s. consulate with with migrant asylum seekers . human rights advocate. pleading to us officials to allow the thousands of migrants to be able to plead their asylum cases, to authorities, to border authorities. and on sunday, after that decision by us district court. there was also a demonstration here in the one that arrived by way of march. not too long, not too far away from where we are right now. with human rights observers with migrant rights advocates saying that title 42 should be lifted, saying that many of them call it is xena phobic policy. that's done little more
12:39 am
