5:03 am
a lot of incentive to do this to exchange prisoners. moscow clearly wants a situation where it's prison, it's soldiers taken prisoners. they're not tried for war crimes, even if they've committed. and what they've done to kind of put leverage on the ukranian side is they generally announce that prisoners are held not by moscow, but by the 2 puppets states. they've set up in the don baths. that would also force other intermediaries to deal with these countries with these provinces, as if they were countries the same time, you know, the presence of foreign prisoners being released. moscow and moscow to puppets have threatened to try them as war criminals just because you know they're not ukrainians. so it's a very, very complicated issue and i'm not sure if the timing is as significant as, as we might think of this. but of course, you have the un general assembly going together. saudi arabia and turkey seem to
5:04 am
have a new era cooperation. there's discussion of joint production of jobs, for example. but i think it's basically designed to get positive buzz in to enhance the status of both countries that have a feel that they're not getting the respected serve in the west at a time when all the leaders of the world are together in new york. a speaking of the un general assembly ukraine's president has told world leaders to punish russia for its invasion of ukraine. bullet emir lensky said that moscow wasn't serious about ending the war. allan fisher reports from the united nations in new york. it's rare for the president tissue up to the un general assembly and attack another world leader directly. but that's exactly what you bite and decided to do. let us speak plainly. a permanent member of the united nations security council invaded its neighbor, attempted to erase the sovereign state from the map. russia has shamelessly

violated the court tenants of the united nations charter has comments coming just hours after vladimir putin announced the biggest military mobilization in russia. since world war 2 and announcement, which warned of a nuclear response to threats to russia, is raul should see these outrageous acts for what they are putting claims he had to act. because russia was threatened. but no one threatened russia. and no one other than russia sought conflict fighting address set the scene for perhaps the most eagerly anticipated speech of this general assembly from ukrainian president vladimir zalinski. it was pre recorded and that had to be approved by a separate vote. president zalinski demanded the un itself, do more to punish russia for what he called its aggression orange. yet the right to walled deprive delegation rights remove the right of vito

5:07 am
name, but he believes ukraine can win the war with increased international support both here at the united nations. and in ukraine itself. alan fisher, i'll just either at the u. n. in new york, a vladimir hooton's call for military mobilization has triggered protests across russia. dozens have been arrested at demonstrations in the capitol, moscow. and in st. petersburg, a monitoring group says that it's aware of detentions that at least 36 different cities, versus opposition on wednesday, called for protest to be held against the mobilization. gabriel elizondo has more from keith with battlefield losses mounting, and a ukrainian counter offensive advancing russian president vladimir putin says now was the time to mobilize more troops, yet as a she the national oregon to protect her motherland, its sovereignty and territorial integrity. to ensure the security of our nation and people in the liberated areas, i consider it necessary to call for
5:08 am
a partial mobilization in russia. if we're, the defense minister says as many as $300000.00 russian reservists will report for duty immediately, but more could be called up if necessary. gordon also confirm that he would push ahead with a referendum in 4 regions of ukraine, including the don boss. the referendum will ask one question. do you want to join the russian federation? that referendum, often a precursor to full annexation of territory, could happen as early as this week. he might become president vladimir zalinski urged allies to focus on what is important for ukraine. the drum kit is growing, actually more support for the armed forces for intelligent services. for the special operations and security service for the national guard police and the border guards for everyone who's gradually restoring i territorial integrity. western allies have said they will not recognize
5:09 am
a russian lead referendum or annexation of ukrainian territories. calling it illegal. some analysts call a referendum, a pre determined sham, and a desperate ploy by potent there is no free media to talk at to talk her about the issue. there is no answer election, observe as there is no fair county, et cetera, et cetera. and even without talking about all illegality of the theme, because it's and on the relation of ukrainian and international. but in his speech, paul left little doubt, he is ready to escalate this war. warriors, civilian jim. russia has a variety of weapons of destruction getting some more molten, those and nato countries as i, she's there. and if all territorial integrity is threatened, we will use all the means at our disposal to protect russia and our people. this is not a glove. it's unclear of moving more troops to the front lines and annexing ukrainian territory will be enough to turn the tide in an operation that hasn't gone

5:11 am
her, he will my arise indeed the price. and i think curb, or his message was clear that he is going for, basically started slicing ukraine them stated on his terms. and you're using the new clara deterrence, in terms of the nuclear threat. he said, we've got lots of things we can use. and we may use everything we've got, and i'm not bluffing. how worried should people be about putin using a tactical nuclear weapon? not to worried because all the logic of nuclear well symmetrical deterrence is that you will keep it on the level of mutual nuclear deterrence. and well, there is also ambivalence in west and response in that case. and what these important is that a russian regime has used it already several times also in the course of this or
5:12 am
war. and they did it to her to avoid the delivery of heavy weaponry from wester to ukraine. and so we should not be in frightened. this was a cor message of booting b in frightened and let sir basically fragment ties the western unity. we should do a white version. now people in iran say they can't access whatsapp or instagram, and they're experiencing widespread internet disruptions as anti government protests spread nationwide. rallies are being held over the death of masa, a means she died on friday after being detained by what's known as the morality police. at least 7 people have died in the unrest. sorrow, hierarchy reports ah, demonstrates as an iran fish back against authorities in mesh heard her to sing the death of muster meaning, ah, angry crowds confronted security forces in several cities in the

5:18 am
invasion of ukraine volunteers. lensky also urged the world leaders to strip moscow and it's veto un security council. and earlier, russian president vladimir putin announced that he was pulling up reservists to boost the military operations in ukraine. a crowd funding campaign launched by the un has raised enough money to begin emergency operations, the transfer oil office stricken tanker sitting off yeoman's coast. there are fears that the tank could soon break apart or explode, causing a catastrophic oil. spill. kristen salumi reports from the united nations. it's been called a ticking time bomb. the aging safer oil tanker sits more as a floating oil storage vessel in the red sea off the coast of yemen. it holds more than a 1000000 barrels of oil. a lot has changed in yemen since the ship was constructed in 1976. thanks to civil war there. it's had no maintenance in 7 years.
5:19 am
environmentalists are very worried. the main concern is for a law catastrophic level, we get to either the ship sinking or a missile striking it either intentionally or accidentally they point to the long term devastation caused by the 1989 exxon valdez. oil spill just off the coast of alaska and the fact that the sapphire has 4 times as much oil on board, but in a world full of emergencies, raising the $113000000.00 needed to finally address the problem was no easy feat for the united nations, we agreed, well, the 1st phase of the quote to get shipped and submitted by the united admission on wednesday, yeoman's foreign minister announced they've raised enough money to begin the operation. an appeal to the general public raised $200000.00 past enough international attention to begin the work. we can probably help prevent deals for causing one to fulfilling fishing in a hormone. for
5:20 am
a country where more than 11000000 people rely on the un for food assistance, it's not just an environmental disaster. the u. n. is trying to avert many people there rely on the ocean for their livelihoods. it would create its own, you monitoring catastrophe along the coast. communities that were self sufficient from fishing would no longer be so sufficient and they themselves dependent upon humanitarian assistance for a busy united nations. yemen provides a rare bit of good news. first, a truce to slow the fighting, and now finally enough money to begin to replace the aging anchor. but they'll have to move quickly and raise even more money to avert a catastrophe. kristen salumi al jazeera, the united nations are again fiona has now claimed at least 6 lives in the caribbean. the category for storm is tracking toward the bahamas in bermuda. as we speak. that is, after battering the turks and k costs and destroying ports of puerto rico and the
5:21 am
dominican republic, at least 4 people have died in puerto rico and most of the island remains without power. manuel ra palo is in salinas, one of the worst effected areas of puerto rico, some residence there, say they've lost everything. fiona was the 1st major hurricane of the 2022 atlantic hurricane season. and a lot of the people that we've spoken to here in puerto rico say that the hurricane itself caught them off guard copy and unprepared. i want to give you a sense of what we're talking about here. because while the store maybe over the suffering certainly has not ended yet, or in the community of sunday, you know, this is one of the worst hit areas in puerto rico and up and down these neighborhood streets. you'll see people sort of clearing their homes going through their belonging, seeing what was damaged. you can see that the water has not entirely finished subsiding here. the house that you're looking at right now people have been pulling money out, pulling their belongings out, seeing what they're able to salvage from here. again, people just sort of cleaning their homes, washing out the mud,
5:22 am
and many people that we've spoken to say that they've lost everything something that's what they went through with hurricane fiona, was even worse than what they experience with hurricane maria, which devastated the island of puerto rico and 2017, killing almost 3000 people. many are expressing a sense of relief that the scale of the devastation was not nearly as bad as last time. but we're still talking about across the island somewhere around 40 percent of residents here still don't have power. many don't have running water and authorities are working to restore energy, but they still, they say that it could still be several days before everyone on the island has power. again, healthcare services in pakistan are struggling to cope with outbreaks of waterborne disease. torrential monsoon rains cause some of the countries worse flooding in decades. now the world health organization says it's stepping up monitoring for cholera and acute diarrhea, warning or viewers. there are distressing images in this next reports by laura

5:24 am
charity run comes, but even they are facing severe shortages. thought i'd be moto vi, but it, it almost all of us including children. the elderly and women got hill because we don't get clean drinking water. and the government is not providing proper food. hits up, diarrhea may die if they don't get proper medical care will be done. why? the world health organization is concerned about the spread of cholera and local authority, say, bacteria and parasite, the thriving in the stagnant water, causing an outbreak of waterborne diseases. barbara joe smoked back. the number of patients from the flood effected areas are 550000 gastro, 650000 skin related 185008 malaria cases, and almost 12000 or dang gay related cases. so it's a huge challenge. rugs were bookcases. i hear these camps have become homes and clinics, but they lack basic food, clean water and medicine, stretching aid and health co workers to then limits laura,
5:25 am
but monthly out. the theorem australia is holding a national day of mourning from queen elizabeth. the 2nd service is being held at the parliament in camera. prime minister, anthony albany has spoken, but some indigenous australians are holding protests against the monarchy. there are clark joins me live from outside the parliament house in cambra. sarah conflicting voices then being heard today, run us through the day. well the, the national memorial service behind me it's on parliament house is just finished. it's been under wife the last era soon as united. it was laid by the prime mister anthony open, easy invited guests, politicians and dignitaries. now thou paying tribute to the claim, but there the official proceedings outside at parliament house. we have a gathering expected, the nest next hour or so, and they considered anti monarchy rallies, and they beheld are in cities around the country, including melbourne at sidney camber, where we are and brisbin that those rallies are being led by indigenous australians
5:26 am
are the 1st nations people speaking out about what they say as they are in tolerances and the injustices that they endured during the monarchy. they say that the british monarchy represents a violent time in our history, and the commonwealth has blood on its hands. and as a result, they said the queen's death has sparked more calls for these injustices of the past to be acknowledged. now, a thousands of people have indicated that they will attend these anti monica rallies. they've indicated this on social media and they will get underway, or in the next hour or so. and sera, given what you've just said, i wonder, therefore, whether the queen's death has rekindled the debate as it has and several other countries about becoming a republic. where does the national conversation stand on that in australia but certainly has triggered that debate once again on whether or not australia should continue or under the monarchy or become a republic. you might recall back in 1999, a strategy had held a republic referendum and the people of australia voted overwhelmingly to keep at
5:27 am
the queen and the monarchy. now we have had some poles of the last week or so since the queen's funeral. and those poles nationwide surveys have indicated that people still want to maintain the monica want to continue or under king charles or the survey. the latest one indicated, 46 percent of people supported amending the constitution and ditching the links the monarchy. so we still have more than half of australians at wanting to support the monarchy. so strains have deep affection for the queen. we've seen that of the last a couple of weeks with a millions of people paying tribute. and as you know here brought here, we've got the national dive morning. we've got a public holiday. and the memorial service paying tribute to the queen has just got under was just so should i finished behind it? parliament house, missouri clark. all right, thank you very much. reporting live from camber there, thanks. new york's attorney general has announced a major lawsuit against former us president donald trump and his company lateesha. james is alleging business fraud involving some of the trump organizations most valuable assets at eco haine. reports from washington dc. former president donald
5:28 am
trump, has always been keen to put the focus under many buildings he owns, but now he's been a huge, a fraudulently misrepresenting the value of those buildings. and this is the subject of a civil court case announced one day by the new york attorney general. the allegation professional assessors would decide how much the buildings were worth. but when the trumps went to get loans or insurance policies, they dramatically insulated the amount in order to pay less interest and get cheaper premiums. this conduct can not be brushed aside and dismissed as some sort of good faith mistake. the statements, financial condition would greatly exaggerated grossly inflated objectively false, and therefore fraudulent and illegal. some examples, his club in florida mar, logo, the likely worth was $75000000.00. but the trump's allege it was worth 739000000.
5:29 am
40 wall street in manhattan, likely worth 220000000. but they put the value at 527000000. antrim park avenue, likely worth $84500000.00 alleged worth a $135900000.00. claiming you have money that you do not have does not amount to the ard of the deal. it's the ard of the steel. trump responded to the allegations on his social media site, calling the attorney general racist and accusing her of doing this to win in election writing. i never thought this case would be brought until i saw her really bad poll numbers. she is a fraud who campaigned on a get trump platform, but experts for these kinds of white color cases can be hard to when you have to show that there is intense specific intent to defraud and the lack of emails. and if there isn't somebody who will testify against president trump and say that he
5:30 am
had the intent to do fraud, that will be something that he can certainly use in his defense. this is a civil case, but the attorney general has referred her findings to jurisdictions that can bring criminal charges and the internal revenue service. she is asking the judge to band the defendants for being able to work as an officer for any newer companies for life, banned them from buying commercial real estate or work with new york banks for 5 years. and she wants to trumps to pay $250000000.00. last month, trump had a chance to defend the practice. he pleaded the 5th, so as not to incriminate himself hundreds of times. now his lawyers will make the case for a trial that could have huge repercussions for the trumps and their businesses. patty, gal haine al jazeera washington to russians, and an american has set off for the international space station from catholic stand on a mission set. the last 188 days that's cooperation between the us and russia.
