even if they've committed and what they've done to kind of put leverage on the ukrainian side is they generally announce that prisoners are held not by moscow, but by the 2 puppet 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 mosque as 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 have a new era cooperation. there's discussion of joint production of charles, 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 respect they deserve in the west at a time when all the leaders of the world are together in new york, the foreign policy chief says he asserts in the block will impose new sanctions on moscow. as soon as possible at a queen's president toll well lead us at the un general assembly to punish russia if it's innovation of ukraine. lottery zaleski said that moscow wasn't serious about ending the war. a crime has been committed against ukraine, and we demand just punishment. the crime was committed against our state borders. the crime was committed against the lives of our people. the crime was committed. again, the dignity of all women and men. the crime was committed again, their values that make you and me a community of the united nations. and ukraine to mass punishment for trying to steal our territory punishment for their mothers of thousands of people.

meanwhile, the british prime minister has pledged her ongoing support to ukraine in address that the un general assembly. they straw says dismiss russian president vladimir pigeons threats to use nuclear weapons in the conflict as saber rattling. no one is threatening russia. yes, else we meet here this evening in ukraine. barbara's weapons a being used to kill and maim people. rate is being used as an instrument of wool. families are being torn apart. and this morning we have seen putin trying to justify his catastrophic failures. he's doubling down by sending even more reservists to a terrible fight. he's desperately trying to claim the mantle of democracy for regime without human rights, so freedoms and he's making yet more bogus claims and saber rattling threats.

while russian president vladimir putin, his cold up thousands of reservists to boost military operations in ukraine, a partial military mobilization saw large numbers of people rushing to buy one way tickets out of russia and as triggered protests across the country. dozens were arrested demonstrations in the capital moscow, and in saint petersburg. admonishing group says it's a way of detentions in at least 36 different cities. april alexander reports from keith, with battlefield losses mounting. a ukrainian counter offensive advancing russian president vladimir putin says now was the time to mobilize more troops, yet as a she the national union 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 partial mobilization in russia,

or the defense minister says as many as 300000 russian reservists will report for duty immediately. but more could be called up if necessary. gordon also confirmed that he would push ahead with a referendum in for regions of ukraine, including the don bass. 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. she'll get 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 a territorial integrity. western allies have said they will not recognize 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. and to talk her about the issue, there is no 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 put left little doubt, he is ready to escalate this war. warriors, sodium in russia, has a variety of weapons of destruction getting some more modern. those and nato countries as i shoot there. and if our territorial integrity is threatened, we will use all the means at our disposal to protect russia and our people. this is not a love, it's unclear is moving, bore troops to the front lines and annexing ukrainian. territory will be enough to turn the tide in an operation that hasn't gone according to prudence plan. what is

clear, what is this war is changing the land and potentially entering a new, even more dangerous phase. gabriel, as i do, i'll just either keith, people in iran say that they can't log in to whatsapp or instagram and are experiencing widespread internet disruptions as anti government protest spread nationwide. rallies are being held over the death of masa meanie. she died on friday of to being detained by what's known as the morality police. and he's 7 people have died in the unrest. sir. car horse ah, demonstrates as an iran fish back against authorities in mush heard her to sing the death of martha, meaning, ah, angry crowds confronted security forces and several cities in the capital to her on protest is of called for an end to discrimination against women.

the process of being held in state capitals as the government holds a national day of mourning, the queen elizabeth the 2nd escape to sara clark. who is 9 in camera, sarah was happening we had a national memorial service behind me in parliament house. that was this morning that started with a minute sonnets. it was led by the straddling prime minister anthony albanese and was attended by a politician's dignitaries, diplomats, and some invited guests. now that was official proceedings to note that the national day of mourning is a public holiday here as well on thursday in australia, but outside and around the capital cities, av estrada. we have, these are abolished the mckee, i gatherings, and these are being led by indigenous australians and calling for the past atrocities to be acknowledged. the demonstration is against a racist colonial imperialism in the 1st nations. people a driving that movement they signed the injustices of the past have not been dealt with. and at the time under the monarchy has represent

a valid part of our history. now they're happening in sydney as we speak, that got underway in the last hour. so brisbin a camera, there weren't many people here at all. there's a small gathering behind me, but all the states around the country and that thousands of indicated i will attend these gatherings. but certainly we've had a number of different proceedings coinciding with the national dive morning here in australia. and they abolished the monica groups to sit beside that. they refused to acknowledge any morning for the monarchy and then want to abolish the monarchy altogether. how much support is there? so this idea of uh, oh, protecting australia into republic and abolishing the monarchy will certainly uh, the cleans debt has so re ignited that debate about strategy future under monarchy . you might recall in 1999 at the last referendum we had on whether or not australia should become republic. a stallion's budget overwhelmingly. to cape, the monarch. so we've had some polls of the last few days,

were indicating that australia still caught not, not quite ready to, to leave the monica. we spoke to some people who left the memorial service this morning. this week that want to stick with king charles. at one poll, the most recent poll that was conducted nationwide suggested 46 percent of australia population. i wanted to amend the constitution and abandon our links with a king charles and the monarchy. but certainly at the moment how the support is still lay to maintain or to continue to be a constitutional monarchy in australia. that's certainly what the, the polls are indicating, but the conversation has definitely started about a strategy future. thank you for that. sarah clark, their 1st line in camera. still ahead on al jazeera cambodian un back trevino delivers its final verdict on the genocide convention against a former a rouge leader. claiming you have money that you do not have does that amount to the ard of the deal? it's the art of the steel and donald trump pursued ever claims. he inflated the

value of some of his most prestigious poverty. ah. the journey has begun. the 3 for world copies on its way to catherine book, your travel package today, it's human right. or gal states, again with providing breeze off the very warm water. so it's 40 degrees and she but you can imagine how that feels, where the wind picks up. it has to pick up the dust, so key weight and in iraq, the atmosphere bit bo hazy than usual. the wind direction sometimes changes. now me, when we get that, it tends to be a dryer and stronger with on its way, slowly sas but it hasn't been set in boats. how me get to friday. rather more obvious changes what's coming out of east nerve across the black sea and southwards . so it's sharon, for the north coast to turkey. as

a result is going to be wet and slightly cooler, but not a huge drop in temperature. and that's all moving east with actually towards the caucasus retentions are still well above where they should be. seasonally, for example, to blazys at $31.00, on average, it should be about $23.00. so i think we'll see a bit of a cooling at least next few days. dropping size into trump, glasgow, and to the knolls on the reins on quite as widespread as they were before. you tend to get the biggest res, further west. for example, vascular nigeria be particularly badly affected, but all we're down towards i and girl, and they're slowly going south. but the rain has not cleared away from the east side of south africa. and his sons returned kat official ally of the journey. debating the issues of the day frog use as always, dan criminalized around the boundaries of rights, the owners number, their people, their families and her friends are. can you remember on our, on line i, jewel, voice this mandatory?

don't believe in dialogue. political crisis must be soft with the political climate change progress. is there some people who are completed that they're just going to have to miss? there's no recognition about what we're ready facing the street. oh, now g 0 a ah, welcome back. you watching out a 0 mind if our top stories, they say our russia has released 215, ukrainian prisoners of war and a deal negotiated by turkey in return keep released a pro russian oligarch. i'm 54 russian prisoners. also, 10 foreigners who fought alongside ukrainian forces were released by russian sent

to saudi arabia earlier. the you carry, cranium. presidents had russia needed to be punished and isolated over inflation off you, craig launch may zalinski also as well latest to strip moscow. it's vito of the un security council is address came hours off to russian president vladimir putin hold up thousands of reservists to boost military operations in ukraine. and indigenous australians have been protesting against the monarchy. organizers say they are taking a stand against crimes committed against marginalized fascinations. people. purchase have been held in many of the state capitals as the government holds a national day of mourning for queen elizabeth now a you and court has rejected a number of challenges to genocide, convictions against a convictions given to the last surviving my rouge leda. 91 year old crew, somebody was given

a life sentence back in 2018. the killings during his times had of state under the communist regimes, brutal rule up to 2000000 people were killed by the ca. my rouge from 1975 to 1979 as k to florence. larry has been following the story from kuala lumpur. so we've been hearing from the court this morning. i suppose this closes the chapter one of cambodia. is dorcas periods of history? yes, absolutely. as you mentioned, he is the last surviving leader of the camille rouge regime. now the verdict is still being read. the judge is going through the verdict point by point. but ultimately, many of his challenges have been dismissed. just a little bit more background of his case. he is appealing a verdict that was handed down in 2018 where he was found guilty of crimes against humanity as well as genocide against the vietnamese minority. now he had initially been charged alongside 3 others, but one day before the hearings could commence in other one was found unfit to

stand trial. and he was ultimately tried and convicted alongside known che, who's known as brother, number 2 in the camille rouge regime. now they had both appealed the conviction, but no shade died in 2019 before the appeal could commence. now tucson pon was the head of state of the clear rouge and in his child. he's a let he's. he's attempted to cast himself as just a mere figurehead without any real powers. and he said that the allegations against him were vietnamese propaganda. and also that even though he was aware of the sufferings during that time in cambodian history, he rejected the term murderer. now, um, but you know, this conviction makes very little practical difference because in 2014, he was also sentenced to live in prison for and for crimes against humanity related to the forced sacking of the capital pin on pen. so in a but this whole thing, this, this, this case here is going to be the last case that's going to be heard by this

tribunal. florida themes extraordinary that since it began proceedings back in 2007, this tribunal has only convicted 3 people is their sense that it has been fulfilled, its real purpose, that this was the waste of a huge amount of funds and opportunity. well from the very thought there were concerns that the hybrid nature of the court where you have local cambodian judge sitting alone psych foreign judges, that this would open the court to political interference over who would be put on trial. and those concerns were in a way validated when the prime minister, who and then said that this case case 002 would be the very last case, hurt by should be the very last case heard by this tribunal. now he himself was a middle ranking career rouge. lee come here rouge official before he defected and several other senior politicians in his ruling party share the same background. and later on, cambodian judges also said that these charles should not go on because they found

that they proposed defendants like a mental competency. so, you know, because this is going to be the very last case heard by the court. and because there's been only very 3 convictions that there was one in 2010 against a prison chief who, who ran the notorious prison in panama pen, where the 14000 people died after they would be help that, you know, ultimately, that the sense that for 15 years, at the cost of more than 330000000, that ought to have been more to show than just 3 convictions. so yes, while this has provided some sense of accountability, there is an argument that really it should have achieved more. that said that some people who argue that this court provided a space of some sort of space for national reconciliation. now during the hearings, there were victims were allowed to give testimonies. and in a way, what they said is a way of memorializing the sufferings that conversions have gone through. so even though there is a sense that many others have gone on punished the,

the courts legacy will be beyond the legal convictions that it has handed down. florence leary, the 1st in column for thank you. new york society general is announced a major lawsuit against full may you as president donald trump and his company natasha. james is alleging business fraud and fall thing. some of trump organizations, most valuable assets that's equal hang was from washington. former president, donald trump has always been keen to put the focus on the many buildings he owns, but now he's been accused of fraudulently misrepresenting the value of those buildings. and this is the subject of a civil court case announced wednesday 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 inflated 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, a financial condition were greatly exaggerated, grossly inflated objectively false, and therefore fraudulent and illegal. some example, his club in florida mar, logo, the likely worth was $75000000.00, but the trump's alleged it was worth $739000000.00. 40 wall street in manhattan, likely worth 200. 20000000. but they put the value at 527000000. antrim park avenue, likely worth $84500000.00. alleged worth a 135900000. 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 will 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 impact the 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 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 fine. insta, 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, ban 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, gall haine, al jazeera washington. hurricane fianna has claimed at least 6 lives in the caribbean, the category for storm as tracking to with the bahama since i'm new to people in puerto rico began to clean up. many say the storm caught them by surprise. money or apollo reports from salinas in point 3. ah, as floodwaters from hurricane fiona recede. for families in southern puerto rico, it's time to clean up category. why? like, we don't know how this happened. like how it got this bad. we just been category away. a lot of rain if a lot of rain. exactly. yeah, i don't know that he says the hurricane caught her off guard. they left the bathroom is horrible right now. her home was still being repaired after being
