ah, hello darn jordan. this is out as they are alive from the also coming up as well. lead us meet him devil's ukraine's president's appeals of billions and funding to rebuild his more torn country a wall of sand, plains grounded schools close. i'm thousands of people are hospitalized in iraq as a severe cloud of dust sweeps across the country. and health experts are trying to understand what a monkey pox is, becoming more transmissible. a russian soldier has been jail for life by a court in ukraine for war crimes. 21 year old buddy misha, martin admitted killing an unarmed civilian in the northeastern semi region. it's the 1st such trial since russia invaded ukraine 3 months ago. same was robbie has more the trial from a capital keith. what we have here is

a gentleman named 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 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 and assuming 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 legit 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, ukrainian president vladimir zalinski is accusing russia of creating a blood bath and eastern ukraine. he says there have been 4 and a half 1000 missile and air strikes in the last 3 months alone. the vast majority aimed at civilian targets. louis de la la, done me. they created a blood bath and trying to destroy everything. everything, everything a life literally was no ones destroyed, dumbasses the way that the russian troops are doing. now. i am grateful to every

one. you all are warriors who hold positions and have the bravery to counter attack . what they believe should be, isn't even the bullet, the coming weeks of the war will be hard to we and we need to understand this one. but we know him, other alternative and to fight him to fight and to win, or to liberate our land. and our people will, earlier zelinski spoke to some of the world's most powerful individuals on day one of the world economic forum endeavors. he appeal for billions more in financial help. our diplomatic editor james base reports from douglas the 1st main speaker at this year's world economic forum meeting was not in davis. president's zalinski 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 of his country and to pay for its reconstruction. the minimum bendhill out of ukraine needs funding at least $5000000000.00 us dollars per month. this is why we established a fund for rebuilding ukraine called united 24. we call upon everyone to join it.

president zalinski called for russian assets in the west to be seized and given to ukraine. the head of a leading think tank told me its proposal is now likely to be discussed in capitals . an interesting debate that will emerge soon is whether they, europeans and north americans will move from freezing russian state assets to seizing those state assets and using put into war chest as ukraine's reparations fine. and that is a debate that we haven't yet had in the in stature economic mindy, because of covert this year's divorce 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 russian war crimes. the war in ukraine will continue to reverberate

around davis as meetings continue here this week. not just the events on the ground, but the economic effects with a symbol tanius global energy crisis and global food crisis. james bays al jazeera devils were joining me now from columbus. ohio is john quigley. he's a professor emeritus of international law at ohio state university. sir john, good to have you with us as we heard they have a lot of mir zalinski has called for russian assets in the west of the seas and the money given to rebuild ukraine. what do you make of this call? is the west likely to agree to it you think? well, i'm not sure how likely it is that it will be agreed to in principle it, it could work in principle, it could be lawful mom. but there are assets that have been frozen in banks in a number of countries prominently in france and in japan and germany and lesser amounts in the united states and the u. k. a. and there is,

of course, a long history of reparations. they typically follow war after war has ended. it would be unusual to do that during a war. and it might interfere with negotiations over an armistice or, or a piece, potentially. um, but in principle it can happen. so, so if we look at historical post war reconstruction, which the point you've just made, i mean, is there any legal precedents for this? i mean, it's an idea, as we saw that it's already being muted in some world capitals. well, it was attempted after the 1st world war of the payment in money. it didn't work out all that well and eventually not much of it was actually paid after the 2nd world war. something different was, was attempted. assets were seized,

both by the soviet union and by the united states that is factories, you know, german concerns of one kind or another. and also of prisoners of war were kept as forced labor for a period of time of both by the soviet union. and by the united states nowadays with assets being held in banks, a broad, it's actually a bit easier to find. so going to use as reparation. i don't have a final thought to you. i mean, we understand that you, cranium officials accept there's no international legal framework to confiscate frozen russian assets just yet, but it hasn't stop them using the moral arguments for such a move. so how do you see this playing album? well, i think a framework could be set up to administer it, certainly the countries in which the assets are located good. impose certain

requirements on ukraine to ensure that the assets are used in certain ways. and to that extent, the, you know, ukraine could be subject to some oversight drunkard. really good to get your thoughts. thank you very much. indeed for talking to our to 0. thank you. now a senior russian diplomat has resigned in protest over the war and ukraine saying he's never been so ashamed of his country. boris bunder, have worked at russia's un mission in geneva. in a statement posted on the line, he said, president putin's aggressive war was a crime against the ukrainian and russian people. he added that the foreign ministry was now only about war mongering, lies and hatred. but also speaking of the world economic forum, the amir of cut are called on journalist lives to be respected and no matter where they came from, al jazeera journal is sharina black. there was fatally shot by israeli forces on

that it's referred the file of shit in a black las 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 a 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 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 be his radio. 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 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 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 to rock malware more than a 1000 people. i've been hospitalized because of a severe sunstorm. airports and schools have been closed in several cities and also in may bring kuwait. this is the 9th sunstorm to hey, to roxanne's mid april. authorities say they increased frequency is related to climate change and record low rainfall. lockwood up to why does mona from the capital baghdad life is getting back to normal imbedded dodges trees hollow and give the sandstorm that hit the country on monday, forcing

media reporting millions of people are sick with an unidentified 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, really they, they still use that kind of stuff in there and, and the 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 tier of the society is like 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

with evidence of community transmission via close bodily contact across many countries, they'll be investigating whether the virus has become more transmissible, not feeling so good luck on listen up as upload. the question is whether it will develop like previous monkey pox outbreaks. we must take into consideration that the way the volume spreads could mean it changed. so we must react quickly and decisively now to contain a global outbreak. and listen, 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 owned concern, however, no one is signaling alarm for the broader population,

the likelihood of breath is very no. however, the likelihood, the further spread of the wireless through close contact, for example, during sexual activities 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 understanding of viral spread and protection. testing contact tracing, cell phi, salacious, and basic hygiene our household concepts, so containing a disease like monkey pox should be relatively easy. jona whole al jazeera. now research as an argentina have discovered a new species of terra saw, that's the flying reptile. it could existed with dinosaurs around 86000000 years ago. it's been named as a financial dragon. that means death dragon is notable for the size of its bones which make it one of the largest tara swords ever found.
