stays headed, that they go somewhat cooler, dry bright a fresher on the 2 showers there. but the big down pools. they could be foundry, they could have large hail, possibly the tornado mixed in as well. nasty weather coming in here at this stage, further west. well, more the same, they stay dry and it stays hot for the most part. that dry weather coming down. of course, a good part of mexico. we have got showers around central america lively shower soup, freighting a good part of cuba, haiti, dominican republic, but rica seen some showers, one or 2 showers to into the east and alice. and they become a little more widespread by wednesday. ah, ah. the 1st war crimes trial of the ukraine conflict, a russian soldier sentenced to life in prison.

ah. hello, i'm down, jordan, this is out 0. live from doha. also coming up as were leaders, meeting devils ukraine's president appeals of billions and funding to rebuild his war torn country. japan plays host to this. he has caught summit and that countering china's influence in the asia pacific region. plus i'm finding comfort far from home. we meet refugees and what's called brazil, little ukrainian or russian soldiers and jail for life by a ukrainian court for war crimes. 21 year old buddy mission, marin admitted killing an unarmed civilian in the northeastern sunni region. it's a 1st such trials since russia invaded ukraine 3 months ago. same was rob. he has more than the trial from a capital p. what we have here is a gentleman named him,

sissy 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 shall marian 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 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, 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 accused of war crimes. in this, in this war, ukrainian president vladimir zalinski is accusing russia of crating, a blood bath and east of 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 dunn, b. they created a blood bath and trying to destroy everything, everything, everything alive and literally no ones destroyed dumbass in the way that the

russian troops are doing. now. i am grateful to every want you, all our warriors who hold positions and have the bravery to counter attack. what they believe should be as new in the woods. the coming weeks of the war will be hard a week and we need to understand this. but we know them other alternative and to fighting, to fight and to win or to liberate our land. and our people will, earlier zalinski 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 battles. the 1st main speaker at this year's world economic forum meeting was not in devil's precedence that ensco continues to direct military efforts in keith. it is not left his country since the russian invasion. he appealed for more funding for the defense that his country and to pay for its reconstruction. the minimum bed out of the 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 every one to join it. president 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 the debate that we haven't yet had in the international economic community. because of co that this is devil's, 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 devils john quickly as professor emeritus of international law at ohio state university. he explained how russia could be forced to pay for reparation. 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 both by the soviet union and by the united states. nowadays with assets being held in banks abroad. it's actually a bit easier to find something to use as reparation. well, another speaker at the world economic forum has been the head of the world food program, david beesley, he said, people don't realize how big an impact claims was happening. on hunger, were facing the worst humanitarian crisis since war 2. just when you think it couldn't get any worse over a year ago, you had ethiopia, then you had afghan, and then the bread basket of the world. this now got the longest bread lands of the world. and so now, because of this crisis, we're taking food from the hungry to give to the starving is absolutely 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 side land that what do you think's going to happen?

so look what you see in sri lanka, indonesia, peru, pakistan. i 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 storm within a perfect storm. and if we don't get the port of odessa open is only going to compound our problems. the u. s. department of defense as 20 countries have pledged new military aid for ukraine. the donations include ammunition tanks and coastal defense systems. i'm 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 towards 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 i munition including italy, greece, norway,

and poll. 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. a senior russian diplomats has resigned in protest over the ukraine war saying he's never been so ashamed of his country. or as bunder ever worked at russia's un mission in geneva. and a statement posted on the line, he said president putin's aggressive war was a crime against the cranium and russian people. he added that the foreign ministry was now only about war mongering, flies and hatred was starbucks is the latest western multinational to confirm that its pulling out of the russian market in the wake of the war and ukraine. the seattle base coffee giant was shot, a $130.00 branches, but will continue to pay its workers for 6 months. the move comes a week after mcdonalds decided to pull the plug on it's russian outlets. the leaders of the us, india, australia, and japan. i mean,

toko for the so called quad summit, security and trade is expected to dominate the agenda. that aiming to temper china's influence across the asia pacific region. beijing recently made a security packed with solomon islands has also been increasing its military spending and conducting naval exercises in the disputed south china sea. where china has warned the u. s. president not to underestimate its resolve on taiwan. it was in response to joe biden, suggesting a military intervention in the event of any invasion you didn't want to get involved in the ukraine conflict militarily. for obvious reasons. are you willing to get involved militarily to defend taiwan if it comes to that? yes, you are. as a commitment, we made a recommend we may, we are not look, here's a situation. we agree with one china policy. we signed on to it and all the attendance agreements made from there. but the idea that that it can be taken by

force just taken by force, is just not just not appropriate. or what rub mcbride jones of live now from tokyo, rob. so given this renewed u. s. commitment to asia, particularly on regional security. how threatened this china likes to feel about how this is all playing out? yeah, i think with these comments from joe biden, that certainly has up to the anti, it's really, i did a zest to the proceedings here. i'm people still trying to work out just how much he stands behind that comment. is this affirming off of the america's position that getting tougher now with china over taiwan? or was it a case of all could miss speak? we simply don't quite know at the moment, but certainly china regards all of these proceedings that have been taking place here in tokyo with deep mistrust. it sees its adversaries of ganging up on it if you like, and trying to stop its development. what a regard as its own backyard at be. the leaders of the 4 nations arrived here,

as can see that the japanese prime ministers, residents have been having a photo opportunity. the traditional family photograph will then be getting into a meeting and then bilateral meetings. but a lot of it with the focus on security and with china in mind, for example, that we talking about the development of telecommunications net was 5, g, and then 6, g across the asia pacific. and how to do that security? well, reading between the lines, what they mean is, how can you do that without relying upon giant chinese manufacturers of telecommunications equipment. likewise, way, also talking about the supply chain brazilians about the production of semiconductor chips, which threatens during the pandemic, also about buying ethically, a goods from countries that you know, have not been using labor force, labor to make those products a read between the lines. again, basically, that means how do we not buy things from, she's young when it comes to china. so there's

a lot to be discussed militarily. of course, a lot of these countries are facing challenges in the indian ocean in the east and south china seas. we've had biden just making it opening comments, talking about navigating a very power, talking about russia, about the invasion of right. but we're not likely to get because of india's presence here, and it's not align status at a very strong condemnation of russia. so not exactly completely harmonious behind closed doors. all right, a robot bry live for us there in turkey. rob, thank you. let's get more on this. not joining me from tokyo, via skype has been well audio shopper. he's an adjunct professor in international affairs at temple university. japan been good to have you with us. so as you heard there, regional security is dominating the build up to this quad. in particular, china's growing military influence. how significant then is this year's summit given the backdrop of a more unstable international environment? it's actually

a very important timing for this says summit. it's only the 2nd in person summit since the beginning of the quad. we had another one last year and given the reasons russian invasion of ukraine, this obviously as a layer of complexity to there such as summit. as you mentioned, obviously china is going to be dominating the discussion. this, after all, is the one shared concern that all members of the quad harm have, but beyond bad there's obviously going to be a lot of different issues that are going to be very important on the agenda, including ukraine. although however, as brett's as previously mentioned, it's going to be hard to find a common position i give entity, non alignment of in. yeah, and that's an interesting point. you make ben, why? because president biden has a difficult balancing act. he's dealing with russian aggression and the war and ukraine on one hand. but he also needs to demonstrate his full commitment to asia as well. doesn't he? oh absolutely, and this is one of the reasons why there is this trip and before the quad,

remember that there was bilateral meeting summit in south korea as while with a new and incoming administration in south korea. we hadn't even before the war to the last since yesterday, in fact, 2 days ago. as a matter of fact, we had also ate an official visit to japan. this is very important for joe biden to demonstrate to the world that the commitment to the region is unwavering. this commitment has been going on for several years, going back to the obama administration. but there has been, there have been doubts over the last few months given the ukraine invasion. so this is a clear message that biden is sending normally to china, put the rest of the world about its commitment to the region. yeah, let's talk about the elephant in the room. been why? because china has worn president by not to underestimate the result of a taiwan. what challenge then does the quad represent for china and beijing's attempt to broaden its influence in the region? there's no doubt that it presents a challenge if it did not present the challenge. you would not see these kinds of

these kinds of accusations on the part of aging against the why you would not see these kinds of got very harsh rhetoric that we have seen from aging. so obviously, beijing itself sees it as an obstacle to its regional ambition. all 4 members of the quad together have pretty important capabilities. so given their shared concerns about china given their, their, their coordination on several approaches, there's no doubt that does present a challenge to chinese regional. final thought to you president biden is using this trip. he says to launch the indo pacific economic framework. what role do you think this initiative would play in? not just uniting regional allies but also helping to constrain china as well. this is one of the main goals of the ip e. it what it is, dean to replace the ttp from which donald trump had withdrawn. and so this is a way to also kind of towards the trade ambitions of china, which as we all know, concluded the art sat the treaty about a year ago or just a few months ago as

a matter of fact. so this is obviously a trade agreement or trade pack that is meant to, to compete and to pose an alternative to the chinese lead economic agreement that was recently signed by audi. shots are really good to get your thoughts. thank you very much for talking to us. thank you. thank you very much. last must have to come here. our desire including justice for serene palestinian officials, formerly asked the international criminal court to investigate hercules and planes, grounded schools closed on thousands hospitalized. we'll have more on the sandstorm sweeping across europe. moreland, ah, the journey has begun. the 34 world carp is on its way to catherine book. your travel package to day. hello and place to say we have got some dry weather coming into our bangladesh and in the northeast. possibly in the over the next couple of

days. more of that in a moment. we have got a large, you try were across the korean peninsula, once you try to across the main islands of japan, but follow our font round our seasonal raise. they are continuing to pummel down across southern parts of china. furthermore, generally try some heat as well. 34 celsius in beijing, but there's where the system that will sink further southward. so that's going to make its way into north korea. south korea generally try and find for wednesday are defined and try to across a good parts of japan, equality showers, a possibility heaviest re. we'll continue across southern parts of china, georgia with a heavy rain that we do have course much of indo china, which choice up with the a monsoon trough here. big chain of showers in across sir vietnam through cambodia, thailand, heavy showers, possibility to pass to the philippines, but generally more the way of sunshine than those heat of the day. showers that brew up. and that is the case across a good part of the region. now we are seeing more the wire showers developing

across northern parts of india, breaking the heat for good part of pakistan. still a few showers into bangladesh into the north east of india, but not as widespread as of late. cats are airway official airline of the journey. how do you states control information in china is local go? if you try to search the war tenement, we find it is trying to make the whole country forget how did the narrative improve public opinion. they had live died and that allowed the children to continue to die to how is status in journalism. re framing the story. i'm here to document the war crimes committed by winter and he is resumed. the listening post dissects the media on the al jazeera. ah

ah, welcome back. it took them out about top stories here. this, our russian soldiers went jail for life by ukrainian court for war crimes. 21 year old buddy shisha, marin admitted killing an anom. civilian is the 1st such trial since russia invaded crane in 3 months, i believe is of the so called coordination of our meeting in tokyo to discuss security and trade. the aiming to temper china's influence across the asia pacific region. speaking of the c as world economic forum, the mayor of cut off has called for journalist lives to be respected, no matter where they come from. al jazeera journalist, sharina barclay was fatally shocked by his ready forces on may. the 11th she'd, ina wallclear, i, christine palestine in american journalists, 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 on our hearts heartbroken. 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. well, that common came as the palestinian, the foreign ministry announced it as formerly asked the international criminal court to investigate the killing of sharina black. it was ready forces shop the al jazeera journalist while she was on assignment in jeanine early this month. israel's military prosecutor has called on the army to conduct an in depth investigation advice you need to abraham, as well from ramallah in the occupied west. the posted in foreign ministry has said that it's referred the file of shit in a black apple as 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 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 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 israeli crimes. now these really military prosecutor has said that it is 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 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. a sandstorm has blanketed parts of the middle east, more than a 1000 people in iraq. i've been hospitalized. as a result, airports and schools were closed in several cities. this is the 9th sandstone to hit iraq since mid april, shewy, syria, iran and cutoff also been affected by what the wine does more now from baghdad. life is getting back to normal in baghdad to streets hollow and give the sand to storm that the country monday, forcing a closure of our spaces in airports and also a forcing a closure of a state institutions at 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 tones of in fact, dozens of tones of dust were carried over by the, the sandstorm over many provinces, across iraq. this is the lines sandstorm to hit the country since the beginning of april. it has been worsening in iraq for many reasons that is related to the climate change dissertation. also lack of rain, it lack of or shortage of water level. it's because of the damming problem programs by both turkey and iran that have the springs of the main sources of water in iraq, the tigris and euphrates rivers of a 6 people have been killed in iran after the collapse of a 10 story building that was under construction of a 50 people, mostly construction workers, i believe, been buried under the rubble in the southern city of abandon. the owner of the building on the project manager had been arrested angry protest as swarm the cities

may when he visited rescue crews of the scene. the building collapsed during a sandstorm, but the reason remains unclear. north korean leader kim jong, who has attended a funeral service for the man to help train him to become supreme leader. the military officer, death comes up time. when skeptics, wonder about the true impact numbers of cove in 1900 cases in the country. lia hardy reports 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 essential came on the current guy. his essential wasn't guaranteed. there are other possibilities that a lot of people that there might be 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 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 it state media 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. you know, like 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, and analysts say the virus is surgeon. while north korea says it's cases, our 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 shall not. some ukrainian refugees are finding solace in the most unexpected places. out 0 is monica you. now cab reports now from prudent topless and southern brazil. ah, it had all the comforts of home ukrainian flag, the national anthem, and co sec, dancers wearing embroidered shirts. but this celebration is 12000 kilometers away from kia in the small brazilian town of prudent properties. a pleased to welcome 63 ukrainian refugees. but we wanted to show them that they can feel at home here who
