the israeli authorities. the palestinian authority won't even release the picture of the bullet saying israel will try to use it to manipulate tact. that mistrust is why the palestinian authority has refused a joint investigation with israel saying it can't trust the israel to investigate. to tell these re narrative changed several times since shooting was shot. these really are mistress that it can't determine if she was killed by palestinians, or by his really forces. the elders ina media network has formed the legal team to defer should ins file to the international criminal court. i. c. c. earlier this week, the palestinian foreign ministry submitted the file of shooting killing to the high tribunal, hoping the ice is his prosecutor would investigate the case. we will continue to resort to all international forms. we will not abandon a single right of the palestinian people. we will present all the document to the

the palestinian ambassador rodman swore, pointed out, is the lack of recourse for palestinians when journalists, aid workers and children are killed without repercussions. and shootings, killing is the story. the same story. she was telling the difference is that this time the ward knew the big we are not being killed because of what we do. but because of who we are, we are not being killed by mistake. but as but a grand design a me to make tooth, we own a safe so that we only live with fear in our hearts uncertain. and a rare moment of unity on this issue, the security council did already call for an impartial,

onto cynical where the president has declared 3 days of national morning after 11 newborn babies died in a hospital fire and electrical short circuit is being played for the plays in the west. sensitive to the one, because hack reports from the now the mothers grieving for their new born baby who died in the neonatal ward of the public hospital. i'm heartbroken. i'm a parent and morning and i cannot understand why god took my newborn child away this way. dozens of premature babies were left unattended under u. v. lights when a suspected short circuit was started, the fire, the smell of smoke woke, retired police officer l hodge months were in boop, who lived nearby their mom. what about it? i live i live. i recognized the smell of human flesh of babies burning. i think it's too gruesome. the state is responsible for this because the state is

responsible for the safety, especially public buildings, said the responsibility lies within the state. the government announced 3 days of national morning and an investigation to fix responsibility. security forces and police have been deployed around this hospital that has been cordoned off and also the contains the crowd. the government says, this was an unfortunate incident, but people here seeing gross negligence, they say some of them that we've spoken to, that they try to break inside the ward. but the fire extinguishers were not working . there was no sprinklers and there was no alarm bells. last year, several newborns were killed in similar circumstances in another maternity ward fire. last week, you born declared dead was found alive in a morgue, and another national crime protest were provoked when a pregnant mother died after nurses and doctors were accused of failing to assist her. we want to remind the government of their responsibility to ensure that all

citizens, especially women and children, are given the care they deserve. and we invite citizens to denounce the injustice and negligence that exists in our hospitals. that's easy enough in augusta government. critics say funds meant to go to hospitals are going into the pockets of officials with not enough nurses and too many seemingly preventable death. senegalese, people are trying to make sense of this latest tragedy in what appears to be a broken health system. nicholas hawk al jazeera tivo, one sled heron out sera u, and the vote for tough a sanctions or north korea is blocked by russia and china. we look at what's driving renewed support, killing yang, and russia now has the upper hand in the east. the grim admission from ukraine's defense ministry. ah,

died in a hospital fire. an electrical short circuit was being played for the place in the west, the city, if civil one, the insecurity counselors failed to adopt tougher sanctions on north korea after china and russia oppose the move. the councils, 13 of the members voted in favor of the measures put forward by the united states. the penalties sought to reduce the amounts of oil. north korea could import response to recent missiles. it fired, but beijing and moscow called for renewed dialog. we will not allow this vote to be set back. however, we will not stay silent. we will not ignore these threats just as we will not ignore the horrific human rights violations and abuses happening in the d p r k, including the abduction issue. well, let's say this on we can speak to greg scholars here from washington, d. c. he's executive director of the committee for human rights in north korea.

greg, welcome to the program. so what is it? after 16 years of a unanimous stepping up of sanctions? now this veto, by china and russia, the 1st time they've publicly broken a united front, why now? china and russia have been protectors of the dpr k at the united nations for a long time. remember the un commission of inquiry report on the human rights situation, the dpr k. a letter to that report warned chinese authorities that by forcibly repaid creating north korean refugees there are aiding and abetting a regime, committing crimes against humanity. why now, why breaking ranks on political security military issues, north korea's nuclear and miss hall threats? well, there are 2 p 5 members permanent members of the un security council that are

committing primes. russia initiated a war of aggression against ukraine un member state. 3 months ago, russia is committing a war crime scene. ukraine and china is committing genocide and the weaker concentration camps. so the un security council is in a state of paralysis. and arrays, james, such as the regime of the dpr k, that's committing prompts against humanity and threatening regional and global security with its nuclear. and missile program is getting away of all of these provocations. right? china's chinese un ambassador zang june says sanctions, main things less did you have a point the sanctions are meant to do 2 things. the sanctions are meant to the curb. a north korea's

development of nuclear weapons and ballistic missiles and the proliferation of such daily technology. the sanctions are also meant to punish the north korean, a lease in charge of the development and proliferation of nuclear weapons and ballistic missiles by severing their access to hard currency and luxury goods imported from the outside world. but then i will actually do a yes if properly implemented they work. there are unfortunately, members of the un security council that have not been so firm on implementing those sanctions. in particular, china and russia, they share a border with north korea. of course, the border of china as a longer the border with russia is about 17 kilometers long. so it all comes down to implementation. it all comes down to

a corporation with law enforcement and intelligence agencies in countries where north korea is running its elicit operations selling arms, and now the contract. okay. all right, greg's got it. great. give spectrum, appreciate that. thanks very much. thank you via says it doesn't want to new cold war with china, but that beijing is a threat to the international order sector state. and steve lincoln says that challenge will test american diplomacy like never before. has she had her tansy? this was a screech. the secretary of state lincoln had been scheduled to give the for the us presidents trip to asia as a cut and razor, but it had to be postponed because he contracted cove. it in the interim confusion was sewn by joe biden. when he gave this also during his tour. are you willing to get involved militarily to defend taiwan if it comes to that?

yes. so in part, the secretary of state's task now was to explain whether us policy towards taiwan had shifted. our policy is not changed. we do not support taiwan independence and we expect prostrate differences to be resolved by peaceful means. i'm thinking, read out the portion of us law of encapsulates washington's position of so called strategic ambiguity to maintain our capacity to resist any resort to force or other forms of course, that would jeopardize our security or the social or economic system of taiwan. the problem is, joe biden wasn't ambiguous at all, and this isn't the 1st time he spoken at all with official us policy. so the question does remain, how's policy changed quietly behind the scenes? or is this just a matter of a president giving his personal views off the cuff, the rest of lincoln speech presented a stock geopolitical framework of china versus the international order. lincoln

insisted the u. s. does not want a new cold war of opposing regional blocks. yet, at the same time, he talented the new alliances, the u. s. was making in opposition to china. this is not about forcing countries to choose. it's about giving them a choice. the speech is likely to be viewed skeptically. in beijing, the speech will be seen in beijing as hypocritical, and be ruling that the fight and administration is picking a cold war mentality to deal with the problem. in spite of entity, blink, and saying exactly the opposite. china is clearly a crept to the international order as governed by the rules set by the united states and it's western allies. but it's not yet clear. if none of 9 countries feel this geo political change is necessarily a bad thing. she ever attempts the al jazeera washington, the ukraine is admitted that russia has got the upper hand in the eastern region of the hunts.

that's where moscow's forces are focusing the latest offensive. they shelled more than 40 towns enhance. can they bring the, let's, the regional government says 90 percent of the hands because now under russian control, as a bank has more from east and ukraine. i'm the time today is quiet. we haven't heard much of that going fire, but the other night we were. and just before coffee, we left the car and we had the town was struck. now let me show you what happened. this is a library. you can say the library one is a strike. one read through the roof. you're the bomb dropped here, right? because right on the floor between the library and some residential buildings, another crate, and next to it, it took out the residential building, opposite and behind us. now we spoke to some people that were here, cleaning up their belongings just to the, to the right of us because people who are staying here and yes, one man like with everyone. ok. i federal, we're a life,

but i have nowhere to live anymore. we met another mother and a child that lives in the building behind us. and she said that we've left and we only come back to feed our cast because i doesn't want to leave. most people have left because of the situation here in elsewhere. we were near so slowly and this morning just got side and we saw and heard the russian strike hitting a position on the hill. we heard the whistling of the 3rd of the smoke rising up. now you're going to start the saying that russia is intensifying, it's ation, it's, it strikes to help his grand for in that offensive. and also it's long range strategic bomb is to take out ukrainian air defenses. finland's prime minister as the latest western leaders visit keefe, santa marin metz, ukrainian president for louis. miss villain vladimir zalinski before going to preach an open the sites of mass civilian killings. she said, russia had lost the trust of the world for generations. finland, shares of 1300 kilometer border with russia. law with sweden. it's applied for

of oil embargo, some kind of solution might be available, but not perhaps necessarily during this summit. but perhaps something that can be agreed upon at the e. u summit is coming up in brussels. in the course of the next few days, or he says, other measures may need to be found. and the problem there is, if it's an e, you arrangement, then what will the hungarian government make is that we know that victor, oregon, the man in charge, the leading politician in hungary is adamantly opposed to that. so yes, this summit here ostensibly to talk about climate change and how to deal with it. and yet ukraine is over taking everything and no guarantee of some lasting solution from here. i'm fighters and became passive, killed around 50 people during an attack in the eastern region. they were shot dead was trying to flee a blockade that had been set up in missouri. burkina faso has been hit by frequent attacks by on group since 2015 a caught in the canes charge american dr. kevin

seeing foreigners come back again. the same goes for all businesses relying on the tourism industry. like this tour bus company says, oh no course any cancer must be well. courses are the stories for japanese tourists have been cut back and we've had to stop foreign language tories altogether. yeah. when you mean it's a long way from former prime minister. sions obeys dream. of becoming a world leading tourism destination all geared to the 2020 summer olympics that he helped to secure for a while, japan was on track to meeting its tourism ambitions in 2019 a recorded well over 30000000 visitors. i was fully expecting to reach its goal of 40000000 arrival in 2020. when the pandemic happens. ironically, the start of the pandemic that decimated the tourism sector was heralded by an outbreak on a cruise ship that had docked in yokohama. the olympics were delayed by

a year while the country virtually closed its borders. the area which was the athletes village is now under development as memories fade of those ill fated games . and japan can look ahead to reopening to tourism once more. cautiously knock either on the reopening would happen gradually, and 1st with back its doors organized, but the travel agency, stella fears that a rushed reopening might see a resurgence in covert 19 cases. don't seem to bother a population apparently. suffering pandemic fatigue. nothing. of course i worry about coven, but overall, it's a good thing at home. i continued being cautious, but i've had enough of this. a more corona may continue, but we can't be afraid of it. we have to carry on with our lives. when i make their progress, most people seeming to believe that is one of the world's most developed nations. it's time to open up to the world once more. rob mcbride, i'll just.
