to help the world's most vulnerable people, uniting across board is to speed up the development of tests, treatments, and of vaccine working with scientists and health workers to learn all we can about the virus keeping you up to date with what's happening on the ground. in the world and in the lab, advocating for everyone to have access to central health services. now, more than ever, the world needs w. h. making a healthy, a world to use everybody ah, ah . standing together against china, u. s. president joe biden leads his in the pacific allies for

a summit in tokyo. ah, hello, i'm sammy's a dan. this is al jazeera live from dahl also coming up the 1st war crimes trial of the crime conflict. russian soldier is sentenced to life in prison. say king justice foul g 0. serina barclay, palestinian officials, formerly austin international criminal court to investigate, had killing swollen rivers in parts of south asia, fog warranties in bangladesh is starting to receive the 10s of thousands of people are still strong. ah the latest. so the u. s, india, australia, and japan are in tokyo for the quad summit. the war in ukraine climate change,

regional security and trade just some of the issues being discussed. the informal lines, the 4 nations, is aimed at countering china's influence across the asia pacific region. during the meeting, us president joe biden said rushes 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 is a solid ukraine, only heightened the importance of those goals, the fundamental principles of international order, territorial integrity and sovereignty. international law, human rights must always be defended more regardless where they are violated in the world. from mcbride says, china has reacted negatively to what it considers the motivations for the summit. china, as is china suspects that are all of the adversaries meeting like this in

a gang and effectively ganging up on it is, is meant to constrain its development. and what it regards is its own backyard 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 reserved beforehand, it is certainly up 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 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. likewise away, for example, which is at 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 a legal 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, these pacific and indian oceans. as talked her alan bam, he's the director of the international and security affairs program at the australia institute joins us live from camera. good to have you with us. so and joe biden, at the beginning of the some, it talks about importance of keeping the indo pacific region open and freed, understood, he's talking about china, practically speaking. what can the quote do to limit chinese influence?

well, that's a big question and that's why the court ladies meeting in tokyo, china is a big issue. it's a big issue globally, and it's certainly a very big issue for the pacific. and so it's important that the court leaders in working out how to deal with china and it's rise as a pre eminent economic and increasingly strategic power focus not just on containment of china's power, but also work out how they and the neighborhood are able to work with china, and at this point i think they're feeling their way the court is i think, quite experimental. and to this point, i don't think that the 4 partners have really worked out how they're going to collaborate bus to improve the effectiveness of the international rules based order, which president barton spoke about about at the same time,

to ensure that china is not problematic. but it is constructive in the way in which the global economy and the global strategic balance works. so it's a big question that they're trying to deal with. how much unity is there in the quote over things from ukraine we've seen in did take a different position than, than the u. s. to climate change, who we're looking at. a new australian prime minister coming on board is got a very different orientation from some of the other major polluters if we could call them and the quad. a really good question, sammy, i mean as this, i think you have to set up a saying that there is not a lot of this unity in the quad. these use which, which hold the court together at the moment are essentially g. a strategic issues that's not to say that climate is not a g. a strategic issue at most certainly is. and that of course is a very big test for all of the court members. but particularly india,

the united states and australia which are very big emitters. and it's a big chest, a test for china as well. and it's a test that all free the interested groups, including china, got to work together on rather than working against each other. so your question goes to the heart of where the court needs to go. and it really does need to focus on those issues that they're able to make an improvement in the life of the people who live in the india pacific. and that must focus around climate and around the, the long term management of pandemic. so those big issues are not yet in the frame of the quad dialogue. and i suspect that until the quad maneuvers itself into that is very relevant questions. it will be of limited significance or i

have another question, i think that will go through the heart. i think i like this one as well. is this grouping really about international order? democracy and human rights is joe biden put it in his opening speech. human rights must always be defended, defended rather regardless of whether violated in the world. is it really about that, or is it about power? because when you look at just the image there, you see joe biden standing next to, for example, neuron remotely, the prime minister of india, the leader of a party whose members talk about muslims as a green virus. respected institutions of described as rule as leading india towards a democratic back slide. again, the guy himself, a member of the r s. s, which has been accused the stoking anti muslim pogroms and terrorism and assassinations. you got to wonder how much is this really about democracy and human rights? well, it's another really excellent questions for me. it's about all of those things i

think. but the language that term president barden used is, is rather limited in its scope. i think it's all very well, i think, for countries like at the united states and japan, australia, in india, to talk about defending human rights. but it's equally important. i think that i should be thinking about advocating and promoting human rights and doing the sorts of things that lead other countries to have a much gentler human rights regime. so that the, the conversation i think that needs to be conducted with china is not a conversation built around aggressive criticism of china's human rights record, which is not a good one by the way. but it needs to be much more encouraging of china to, to ameliorate its position. because ultimately, countries which are successful are countries where human rights are honored and

promoted and as well as being protected. so it requires a bit of a, a difference in the way in which the court members think about the future rather than concentrating simply on those things that have been problematic in the past. and that is as much true for australia as it is for any of the other 3 members. given that we are the newest leader at least to join in a court dialogue. or i thank you so much for your analysis on that. thank you. send me no russian soldiers been jailed for life by ukrainian colt for war crimes. 21 year old vadim she met in admitted to killing an unarmed civilian in the northeast in sumi region. it's the 1st such trial since russia invaded you cried 3 months ago. same authority has more on the trial from cave. what we have here is a gentleman named faddie and 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 she 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 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 in a prisoner swap for ukrainian captured ukrainian soldiers in russian custody. now

what we are likely to see is many more such cases as this conflict continues. we've got 2 pilots, possibly being seen in court in coming days. that's the next case. on the horizon and ukrainian prosecutors are investigating more and more cases of what they're calling a legend, war crimes on a near daily basis. so this is unlikely to be the last time that we see some kind of a court case. quickly adjourned, with regards to russian soldiers being accused of war crimes. in this, in this war, a senior russian diplomat has resigned in protest over the ukraine war saying he's never been so ashamed of his country. bar respond out of work to russia's un mission in geneva. in a statement posted online, he said, president putin's aggressive war was a crime against the ukrainian or russian people. he added the foreign ministry was now only about war. mongering lies and hatred. ukrainian president

vladimir the landscape, is accusing russia of creating a blood bar in east in ukraine. he says there have been 4 and a half 1000 miss allan as strikes in the last 3 months. the vast majority aimed at civilian targets. lewis told me they created a bloodbath and trying to destroy everything, everything, everything alive. literally no ones destroyed. don bass 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 count, to attack upon, they believe, should be needing the wounded. the coming weeks of the war will be hard. and we need to understand this. but we know other alternative and to fight to fight into women, to liberate our land. and our people warily as the landscape spoke to some of the world's most powerful individuals on day one of the world economic forum in davis, he appealed for billions, more and financial help. our diplomatic at the james phase reports from dallas. the

1st main speaker this year as well, they cannot make for a meeting, was not in devil's precedence that ensco continues to direct military efforts and keep and 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 opponent 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 the will emerge soon is whether the europeans in north americans will move from freezing russian state assets to seizing those state assets and using putins war chest as ukraine's reparation fund. and that is the

debate that we haven't yet had in the international economic communities. 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. 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 pays al jazeera devil's will still ahead on al jazeera detained, but defiance will have more on what opposition politicians in uganda, calling for and the severe cloud of dust sweeps across iraq and kuwait.

ah hello, we got more that hot and dusty weather across much of the middle east, scotty. dry and fine winds will pick up as we go on through the next couple of days . so the chance of a shamal coming in across that to eastern side of the arabian peninsula, 41 celsius here in doha with the lifted dust and sand. let's put further north. we got some unsettled weather coming out of turkey, just around the caucuses between the backseat and the caspian. some showers all was a possibility over the next day or so. as is the case to into afghanistan. paterny dry here. by the time we come to weddings stay further west, where we do have largely dry weather across northern parts of africa. it is essentially settled and sunny. sorry, a cloud here just around so hard that may will even produce one or 2 spots of light

rain for a time for the south. it see the dusty weather makes its way across nisha into northern parts of nigeria because no fossa, seeing some of that, some showers once again, all the way from sierra leone. right, across garner, pushing across into good part of nigeria. cameroon. and over to was the riff valley, but on the other side of the ref valley it's still disappointingly dry. there's a chance of one or 2 showers in eastern parts of kenya may be into samaria, but not as widespread as i should be. to the south lattice, jen retry fine, sunny and pleasant ah. on counting the cost that recent meltdown in crystal caring, the worry investors, can it make it come back? why did apple the most valuable company crowns to saudi oil for romco? and how will trade protectionism affect global for security and price? counting the cost on al jazeera, there is no channel that covers world news like we do,

we revisit places the state. i'll just there are really invest in that. and that's a privilege. as a journalist, lou ah, you're watching, i'll just sarah. time to recap. our headlines, the leaders of the called nations, a meeting in tokyo to discuss security and trade. aiming to tampa chime has influence across the asia pacific region. a russian soldier has been jailed for life by ukrainian court for war crimes. 21 year old, but deemed sheesh marine admitted to killing an unarmed civilian. it's the 1st such

trial since russia invaded ukraine 3 months ago. the amir of cutter has called for journalists, lives to be respected, no matter where they come from. al jazeera journalist, sharina boxley was fatally shot by israeli forces on may. the 11th shooting, a christian palestine in american journalists, was killed 2 weeks ago in palestine, and then rolled off a dignified burial. shitty was covering the suffering of the palestinian people for decades. and our hearts are broken. her death was just as horrific as the 7 journalists continued. since march of this year and 18 other jordan was killed in palestine since 2000. well that common came as the palestinian foreign ministry announced its formerly asked the international criminal court to

investigate sharina killing. israel's military prosecutor called on the army to conduct an in depth investigation that abraham falls from my line. the occupied westbank, the posted in foreign ministry has said that it's referred the file of city in a black police 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 in our 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 legal 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 really i, we should be conducting an investigation urging one this. does it mean that an investigation would be open or that it has already been opened? this only 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 where you are and says at least 4000000 people have been affected by floods in bangladesh, rights groups or warning children in the region have been severely affected by the devastating pre monsoon rains, been bangladesh, 419 schools have been damaged. another 350 schools have been turned in to make

shift shelters for at least 8500 people along with a capital and goats. country of child re, is in san m, gunch in bangladesh, jones of life from there. so all the stronger people getting help. now, while we drove from the salon city to sham guns, city which had 70 kilometer range. and on the way we saw the devastation, we stopped in many villages. every village as we stop. the key complain is we haven't seen any politician any relief. we didn't get any fresh. what are no food? that's the major complain. now the government dead started relief operation the most affected areas, but within 70 kilometer range, we haven't seen any relief operation. we saw a few shelters there, overcrowded people, even on the shelters, were complaining of our meager russians, not adequate food. most of the people,

their main concern right now is fresh water because of all the shallow tables and deep to both. the main source of fresh water in the villages are under water and their consent. right now they're boiling this water. even that itself is difficult because although most of the houses that can seek and see behind me how this places i, people have to use the food. 5 water to cook, wash, and do all that daily necessity, even the sanitation electrons are all under water. so this is making very challenging for the people affected in the flood areas. the good news is it's been sunny days for last several days and it's dry weather. the water brought out the dead bang with us water development boat stays, the water is receding, at least mainly about $430.00 centimeters. on the other hand, to main drivers of jonah and the product, bangladesh of 2 main rivers are swelling and the country's not central and south. it started to flooding the farm areas. so that's a major concern,

and the climate is quite erratic. the monsoon season is on but the rainfall as a right take and on rush of heavy water for an indian healy region and the nazis is causing major have in the valley in bangladesh. these water will eventually driving to the bay of bengal for right now, the things are stable, but it could get worse if the on russia water comes from india and, oh, sorry for the sun and more more monsoon rain, things could get worse again. all right, so much to the child right now, a sandstorm as blanketed pumps of the middle east, more than a 1000 people in iraq have been hospitalized as a result, add ports and schools were closed in several cities. this is the 9th sandstone, the hits iraq since mid april, quite syria, iran and cut out. i've also been effective number one, had reports now from bank that life is getting back to normal in that discrete hold

on give the sand is formed. the country on monday, forcing a closure of a to spaces and it was also forcing a closure of the state institutions, schools, universities, and many other state facilities. now, many people were sent to hostile to receive medical treatment because they suffer from supplication because of the dos tons of. in fact, dozens of tones of dust were carried over by the descend over many provinces, across iraq. this is the lions sand 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 at lack of or shortage of water level because of the damage problem programs by both 30 any ron that have the spring of the main source of water and iraq. this tigris and euphrates rivers,

an opposition politician. uganda has been arrested while protesting against high food and fuel prices for the 2nd time in the week. the president is refusing to introduce subsidies, all reduced taxes on fuel. as malcolm web explains, you can to no position politician keys a better j is used to being arrested. more than 20 years, he demonstrated against the government of president, uri mas 70, and challenged him in for elections. his protest on monday was against the rising cost of living. the fuel pumps. prices have gone up 70 percent in the last year. food prices are climbing to motorbike taxi writers or among millions whose livelihoods are affected and they got what used to be $5.00 while ago is now $14.00 . they should reduce the price of fuel. president mis 70 has ruled uganda ever

since he met a rebellion and took power by 4986. he's rejected some of the ideas to bring down prices, moving taxes, or subsidizing many of the inputs is you said though, and a blunder. how then we fund our budget for the roads, electricity, schools, medicine, security to see better day, who also protested last week says it's corruption rather than public spending. that draining government coffers at rest of those lab taking our money the, the people, there are no return to the property. so that exams the people in crisis. if we're able to rule certain things, then we can immediately pick tapes that we can relieve his attempted demonstration,

also promptly ended in his arrest for more than 10 years. you can, the government has tried to stop street protests before the crowd can even gather. meanwhile, the cost of living keeps rising as it is in many countries, but about 40 percent if you can then live on less than $2.00 a day and can't afford to pay more. malcolm web al jazeera cases of monkey pox continue to rise around the world with some countries introducing strict isolation measures for anyone exposed to a confirmed infection expert say, quick action is needed to prevent the global outbreak. jonah haul 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 in parts of central and west africa. in the past, it was generally confined to isolated cases outside that region. now, with evidence of community transmission via post bodily contact across many countries, they'll be investigating whether the virus has become more transmissible, 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 . so we must react quickly and decisively now to contain a global outbreak. 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 earned consent, however, no one is signaling alarm. for the broader population, the likelihood of breath is very low. however, the likelihood of 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, self isolation, and basic hygiene. our household concepts, so containing a disease like monkey pox should be relatively easy. jona whole al jazeera ah.
