ah, artistry adventure short documentary by african filmmakers from beneath kenya and algeria in the alley minium village, throttle queens. this is when we get to let her head down and the cane africa direct on al jazeera. i have told stories of orphans were those rebels and soldiers. it is a rare privilege to tell the stories of my own people to a global audience. ah, standing together against china us president joe biden needs his indo pacific

allies for a summons in tokyo. ah, hello, i'm sammy's a dan. this is al jazeera alive from dough. so coming up the 1st war crimes trial of the ukraine conflicts a russian soldier is sentenced to life in prison. seeking justice trial, jazeera shooting, la clay palestinian officials formerly asked the international criminal court to investigate the killing claims, grounded schools close and thousands hospitalized. as the severe sandstorm sweeps across the rock, ah, the leaders of the u. s. india, australia, and japan are in tokyo for the quad summit. the war and ukraine climate change

regional security in trade. just some of the issues being discuss the informal alliance of 4 nations is aimed at countering china's influence across the asia. pacific region was during the meeting, us president joe biden said, russia's invasion of ukraine shows the importance of the quote. you know, surely before russia launched this invasion, my administration published our endo pacific strategy to advance a free open, connected, secure, and resilient in the pacific. russia, a solid ukraine only heightens the importance of those goals. the fundamental principles of international order, territorial integrity and sovereignty. international law, human rights must always be defended. murray, regardless where they're violated in the world, or mcbride is live for us from tow care. so the for putting on a show of unity, but there are some tricky issues to get around. right.

oh, that's right, absolutely. i mean, and all of this seems to be a directed her answer china, the china suspects that her, all of the adversaries meeting like this in a, in a gang and effectively ganging up on it is, is meant to constrain its development. and what it regards is its own back yard by nurse, especially after biden's comments yesterday, monday, when he said that the u. s. yes, would intervene militarily to stop china from invading taiwan. people are still trying to work out exactly how serious he was with that comment, or whether it was a case of awkward misspeak. but certainly if china was irked beforehand, it is certainly urge to now and it always regards this with deep suspicion. because when you look at the kinds of things that they are talking about when it comes to regional security, they all does seem to be aimed directly or indirectly at, towards china. for example, the setting up of telecommunication systems which are robust,

which are secure. how do you do that with 5 g and then 6, g, a reading between the lines. it is these ally saying, how do we do that without having to call upon chinese, a telecommunications giants like choir away, for example, which it, there is a certain amount of distrust over then again, the sourcing of goods from this part of the world. how can you make sure that there is no force labor involved? again, that seems to be a shorthand way of saying, let's not buy anything from shin jang. and finally, they will be looking, for example, at maritime surveillance, at how to detect and prevent illegal fishing. well, that seems to be illegal, chinese fishing, because that they would seem to be allegedly the biggest culprits when it comes to flouting maritime regulations with its big industrialized fishing fleets across the, the pacific and indian oceans. all right, thanks so much, rob mcbride there. but why hardy shall found is an junk professor in international affairs at temple university, japan. he says the newly unveiled in the pacific economic framework is seen by all

sides as a crucial part of the call discussions. it is deemed to replace the t p p from which donald trump had withdrawn. and so this is a way to also kind of the war to the trade ambitions of china, which as we all know, concluded the receptor treaty about a year ago or just a few months ago as a matter of fact. so there 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. this is very important for joe biden to demonstrate to the world that the commitment to the region is on wavering. this come in may have been going on for several years, going back to the obama administration. but there has been, there have been doubt over the last few months given the ukraine invasion. so this is a clear message that by and it's sending normally to china up to the rest of the world about its commitment to the region. a russian soldier has been jailed for life by

ukrainian court for war crimes. 21 year old vadim. she's married, admitted kidding. an on i'm a civilian in the northeast. in sumi region. it's the 1st such trial since russia invaded ukraine 3 months ago. so before avi has more on the trial from keith, what we have here is a gentleman named him, sissy marin, a 21 year old tank commander and the russian military. he was accused of killing a civilian, a 62 year old resident of a village 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 writing 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 the soon the 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 adjourned, with regards to russian soldiers being accused of war crimes. in this, in this war,

a senior russian diplomat has resigned in protest over the ukraine war saying he's never been so ashamed of his country for a spawn data of work. rushes un mission in geneva, in a statement posted on line, he said president putin's aggressive war was a crime against the ukrainian and russian people. he added, the foreign ministry was now only about war. mongering lies and hatred. ukrainian prize volume is an skis accusing russia of creating a blood bath in east in ukraine. he says that have been for the half 1000 miss allan as strikes in the last 3 months. lost the job he aimed at civilian targets. lewis told me they created a bloodbath and tried to destroy everything, everything, everything alive, and literally loved them. no ones destroy dumbass on the way that the russian troops are doing. now, i'm grateful to everyone. all our warriors who hold positions and have the bravery to counter attack, what they believe should be leaving the wounded,

the coming weeks of the war will be hard. and we need to understand this. but we know other alternative until fighting to fight to win, or to liberate our land lambda people. early as the sky spoke to some of the world's most powerful individuals on day one of the world, economic forum and devils, he appealed for billions, more and financial help. our diplomatic editor james bay's reports from diverse 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 and keep it if 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 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 everyone 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 its proposal, its 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 rush 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 coven, this is deb, 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. another speaker at the world economic forum is in the head of the world food program, david beesley, they said people don't realize how big an impact your crime war is having on hunger 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, if you then you had that can stand and then the bread basket of the world. there's now got the longest bread lands of the world. and so now, because of the prices 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 400000000 people? and you sideline that, what do you think 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, it's a perfect storm within a perfect storm. and if we don't get the port of a desk open, it's only going to compound our problems. starbucks is the latest western multinational to confirm it's pulling out of the russian market in the wake of the ukraine war. the seattle based coffee giants will shut a $130.00 branches, but will continue to pay the work is to 6 months. the move comes a week after mcdonalds decided to pull the plug on its russian outlets. still. i had an al jazeera, we speak to a palestinian american student to use the graduation ceremony to shed light on the killing of al jazeera journalist, sitting on barclays and desperate for fresh water and dry food. we have more on the devastating floods in bangladesh.

ah hello the last few days have been extremely hot for eastern parts of the u. s. a wreck or breaking heat for some. d. c has been getting into the low thirty's for the last 4 days in a row, but a change is underway. this cold front that's making its way through foundry rank has passed its way across the eastern seaboard 21 celsius for these. these are good 10 degrees drop in temperatures. it'll feel that much more comfortable, much fresher. we have got some nasty storm spring up across the great plains, anywhere from my texas. we. sienna, eating right up across missouri towards the lakes and that wet weather will make his way. a little further north was a nice was as we go one through wednesday had a that's the go, somewhat cooler dryer, brighter,

fresher on the 2 showers there. but the big down pause. they could be foundry. they could have large hail, possibly the or 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 across a good part of mexico, we have got showers around central america lively showers tube freighting a good part of cuba, haiti, dominican republic, but yreka, seen some showers, one or 2 showers to into the east, and alice, and they do become a little more widespread by wednesday, ah, the, from the al jazeera london broadcast then tack 2 people in thoughtful conversation with no haste and no limitations. this dick, it is a most consequential decade in events. she says she doth for too many companies that are doing bad things in the front, in part 2 of human rights, activate q, me 19 and environmental. if we known and the teeth, the systems are not working,

but the longer that you fight them, the more that things change studio be unspent paid on al jazeera lou. ah, the watching, i'll just hear a time to recap all headlines. the leaders of the so called called nation is a meeting in tokyo to discuss security and trade. the aiming to tampa china has influence across the asia pacific region, a russian. busy soldier is being jailed for life by ukrainian court for rural crimes. 21 year old by dean, she smutty admitted to killing an unarmed civilians. it's the 1st such trial since

russia invaded you crying 3 months ago. had a view ends well, food program has aust 1000000000 as to step up and do that bit to address global hunger. david beasley says rushes more. you crime is a perfect storm appliance is now facing the worst humanitarian crisis since the 2nd world war. russia has blocked 2 cranes, bolts, struggling to its full grain and all the rest centuries supplies. speaking of this year's world economic forum, the amir of cancer is called the journalist lives to be respected no matter where they come from. al jazeera journalist, sharina barclay was fatally shot by israeli forces on may. the 11th sheila, i christine palestine, an american journalist was killed 2 weeks ago in palestine and then robbed of a dignified burial. she was covering the suffering of the palestinian people for

decades, and our hearts are broken. her death was just as horrific as the 7 journalists killed in ukraine since march of this year, and 18 other journalists killed in palestine since 2000. well that comment came as the palestinian foreign ministry announced its formerly asked the international criminal court to investigate the killing of sharing israel's merch, prosecutors called on the army to conduct an in depth investigation. neither abraham or false, from ramallah in the west bank. well enough. the posted in foreign ministry has said that it's referred as a file of shit in 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 than that has pushed that file and referred to the icy. in addition to dozens of other files that have been filed over the past a year or so, including extra to show killing the indigo as really settlement and a palestinians hope and say that the international criminal court could be the only way to get justice for serene and other israeli crimes. now these really military prosecutor has said that it, the israeli army should be conducting an investigation urging one this. does it mean that the investigation would be open or that it has already been opened? this only means that the circles within the israeli army are talking about the potential of opening an investigation from our experience. it's been very rare that these really military opens investigations into killings of palestinians. and in their rare cases it does. it almost never leads to an indictment and when it does

lead to an indictment, the light at the sentence is usually 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 group of graduating students in the u. s. stage to protest in honor of shirley and walkley on saturday. they carry photos of her as they were awarded their degrees in georgetown university in washington, d. c. demanding and the independent investigation into killing a palestinian american student carried the palestinian flag and refused to shake the hand of the graduation speaker. us secretary of state antony blinkin. well, it's now talk to that student neuron, come down. she joins us live from washington, d. c. thanks for being with us. so 1st of all, what prompted you to make that stand? thank you so much for having me, sammy, i really appreciate it. what prompted myself and my peers to have this stand is

really simple. we are all graduating with a master's degree in arab studies from georgetown university. and we've spent the past 2 years learning about the colonial projects in the arab world. and in particular, the colonial project that is the state of israel. i myself as a palestinian american, of course, have a very intimate understanding of what israel inflicts on palestinians as my grandparents are survivors of the night. and my parents have, you know, lived the lives of palestinian refugees. so for us, kind of the moment we knew that lincoln was the speaker. we knew for a fact that we were going to send him a message. and it just so happened that a few days later, unfortunately, the world was shocked with the news regarding the murder of city walk there. and that to us gave us a very direct compass in which to point our concerns to. so we were, so we were, you know, protesting not only the incompetent

u. s roll and the region. and the frankly tooth risk, toothless remarks that united states has in regards to someone who is an american citizen being murdered by a foreign army that we are supposedly allies with and bankrolled by the millions and billions of dollars. it was not just a statement about shitty in the martyr. there was also a larger statement about justice for palestinians, an end to the occupation and post in liberation more generally, and given the response and given the fact that blank and actually confronted us at the end of commencement, it looks like the message was heard. oh, i'm glad you mentioned that though, you had an exchange with the u. s. secretary of state. tell us what was said, what happened in that exchange? yeah, this is a great question and i want to provide some backgrounds maybe to some of the viewers a before i answer it myself and my peers. we had planned to dawn the palestinian

kaffir and to hold posters of shooting a ball. though. this was the best that we could do in order to encourage the majority of our peers to participate. because some folks had issues with student visas or their citizens of you know, countries where a free speech is not necessarily respected. and so that was the best way for us to incorporate every one. and this action was seen by blinking, he saw our posters, we walked into the procession of our graduation. everyone saw the coffee as everyone saw the posters with the martyr shooting on them. and that message was heard. now my in my own interaction with blink, and this was actually completely unplanned. i did not wake up that day and think that i'm going to walk by the secretary of stay on the stage and speak to him. we had kind of assumed that he supposedly an important person with better things to do and that he would give his speech and leave. and so i was given a palestinian flag by an american peer of mine has no palestinian or arab background. and i carried the palestinian flag at my undergraduate graduation. so

this just seemed like continuing a tradition to me. something that i knew i was going to do after lincoln spoke and we realised, oh, he's on stage and he's going to stay. and we're actually expected to fist bumper handshake him or shake his hand. ah, not for myself. that was an impromptu decision that i made in the moment. but i'm not going to fist bump him. i'm not going to shake his hand. and i'm going to convey the message that we're sending with our silent protest a bit more clearly to him while i walk by him on stage. and so as i walked by him, you know, i 1st received my diploma from the dean of the school of foreign service. and then i walk by the secretary of state. i'm expected to, you know, this bump him. and instead i told him, we demand an independent investigation into shipping a ball, his murder now, and we demand an end to all you us aid to the israeli military. now,

that's really all i had time for. and i walked off stated that you said that i saw you as you will pass the him off to you got your degree right. that was you managed to get over. yeah. wow. ok. the of that. and i think you can even see me in the video, i'm like, shaking my head and telling him all of this, trying to really about what did he say, how many radio him you know, on stage his reaction was a very like dismal, like. all right, okay. to be frank, i can't remember the exact one word reply he had to me, but he definitely heard me because towards the end of commencement, he comes up to me and i believe viewers can see this in the video footage. ah, he kind of does one of these at me before he steps off the stage like don't leave. and as he is getting off the stage to leave the commencement ceremony, he stops right in front of me and my peers. we just so happened to be in the 1st 2 front rows because arab studies starts with

a and master students are always in the front. and so he comes up to me because i happen to have spoken to him before. and he says, i see you and i hear you and my response to that was thank you, but we demand this independent investigation. it's very important, this woman you know was murdered and end to that. his response was we're committed to finding the truth. and that irked me because myself and my peers are calling for an independent investigation, not because we believe that there is any facts left to find. we know the israeli military murdered shooting, but per her families request, they are requesting an independent investigation because this kind of thing going on the global record is important. it's a step to holding israel accountable. now when that accountability will happen, certainly not in today's right. current world and certainly not with the current biden administration, but it's still important. and so my exact response in that moment to the secretary

of state was we know the truth should he was murdered by these really military that we bank role. we need to stop funding the israeli military with american tax dollars. and as soon as i said that, of course the, the hearing and seeing just seemed to disappear and he walked away now, and i'm sure part of that is the commencement ceremony had to and, but i'm sure part of it is the secretary's own media training. but, you know, not to engage, maybe any further arrival else to ra, calling him out. all right, well sir, thanks for coming and explaining all of us for good. good to get your explanation. all the now the sandstorm has blanketed parts of the middle east. more than a 1000 people in iraq have been hospitalized as a result. efforts who schools were closed in several cities. this is the 9th sandstone to his iraq since mid april, quite syria, iran and cut out of also been effective. with abdougla had defaults from baghdad.

iran that have the springs of the main sources of water in iraq, the tigris and euphrates rivers, flood walters in bangladesh, have begun to slowly recede. but tens of thousands of people are still stranded and struggling to get help. convey a child's re revolts from some on guns in ne and bangladesh. sooner a big i'm struggled to cope after days of widespread flooding in this region of bangladesh. she said, it's hard to feed her 2 children by herself. her husband is a migrant worker and militia hell of the world. i thought if any data, well there is water all around my home. it has become very difficult to live under these conditions with my children. can't cook wash, take a bath, and my children can't go to school. i can't even feed them properly. but i said that a varney nearly 2000000 people have been affected and not distant cillit region,

and what officials described as one of the worst floods in 2 decades. most of the villages we have been talking to in the flood affected areas have complained that they have not received any kind of relief from government or aid agencies. they are in desperate need for fresh water, food and financial assistance. the government has set up more than $200.00 shelters for flood victims, and i started distributing relief in some of the worst affected areas in philip. but some of the shelters provided by the government are inadequate and overcrowded . those who have been displaced by the floods a much to complain above the russians and the living conditions. we're dying of hunger, our homes all got washed away for the politicians had hardly done anything for us that too busy feeding themselves. and over here, we just getting some mika rations that barely feed us, the floods have washed over thousands of actors or farmlands on hatcheries. many people like alarm at, on,

not worried about their future. so the other day. what about the r cell model bama? most of the harms round here, including ours, are all inundated with flood water. we have not received any kind of relief or so far. no one even came over to see a situation with them. a few days of sunshine have brought some hope to many of the farmers here who are trying to drive their petty's by the roadside. if an idea that he's not, he thinks it adequately, but it's been almost 2 weeks. is a homeless flooded. now the water is receding a little bit, so now we're trying to salvage some paddies. the flood situation may have improved in some areas, but some of the major rivers like jemina and pod, the have started to swell in on dating low areas in the south and not central bangladesh causing worries for local farmers. tundra chaudhry al jazeera should i'm gonna bangladesh. ah.
