mm. ah, you and general assembly votes to condemn russia's annexation afford ukrainian regions. ah, i money inside the sound, is there a lie from day or so coming up? a u. s. conspiracy theorist is ordered to pay almost a $1000000000.00 to the families of victims and the mast shooting the branding it how the fatal clay up shooting of an innocent black man by london's metropolitan police means a new low in confidence. i massaged from sweden that could help thomas well wide protect that crumbs climate change.

the un general assembly has voted overwhelmingly to condemn russia's moved annex parts of ukraine. 143 countries voted in favor for resolution that reaffirms ukraine, sovereignty and territorial integrity. only full countries joined russia in voting against it. those with syria, nicaragua, north korea, and bella bruce, $35.00 abstained, including russia, strategic partner, china. kristen slavery has moved from the united nations new york. while this is the 4th vote in the general assembly, since russia invaded ukraine on the situation in ukraine, in this one past, with the most support of any of the prior resolutions, it's an attempt by ukraine and it's backers to keep russia under pressure. keep the spotlight on the country and show that it's isolated on the international stage. there were some abstentions 35 of them. that's similar to the right previous votes

among the abstentions 2 very large and influential countries, china and india. china said that the resolution reflected a cold war mentality and in their view, was not conducive to bring the parties together for peace talks. but the united states and other countries that back ukraine said that quite simply, this is a matter of preserving international law. and the un charter arm message is loud and clear. it does not matter if you as a nation or big or small rich or poor, old or new. if you are a you and member state your borders are your own and are protected by international law. they cannot be redrawn by any one else by force. well, this is certainly a morally significant victory for ukraine, but the general assembly doesn't have the same weight of international law behind

it that the security council would, in a similar resolution condemning the illegal annexation of these 4 areas in ukraine, failed in the security council. because of russia's veto. so it's worth pointing out that back in 2014, when russia annexed, you a crimea, a similar situation evolved here at the united nations where a resolution failed in the security council. but then was passed in the general assembly in that case by 100 votes. so it's a moral victory, but it doesn't have the weight of international law. a jury in the u. s. has ordered the right wing conspiracy theorists, alex jones to pay almost to $1000000000.00 in damages solve to falsely claiming that the 2012 sandy hook school shooting was a hugs. the radio host who found to the website info was claimed for years that the

masika was staged as part of a government plot to take away americans guns. he's been ordered to pay damages to families of 8 feet 26 victims. the federal move that i been associated with for 10 years through this tragedy on europe. beautiful political you'll ever encounter in their children. if your mom's and their wives, you know, beautiful people could ever get to know. oh, i can really say is that i'm just well done. what we're able to accomplish is just to simply tell the truth and it shouldn't be this hard. and it shouldn't be the scary as go to rosalind jordan, who's live in washington dc. rosalind, how did the jury reach this figure of almost a $1000000000.00? well, the families that had sued the 8 families of some of the 20 children who had been killed in the us school shooting in sandy hook, connecticut, 10 years ago. at wanted $550000000.00. now during the actual trial,

alex jones didn't comply with the judge's orders, didn't turn over financial documents, showing his assets and his liabilities. basically telling the court how much money he had available. so that the judge could decide whether to was recommend a higher or lower number, but because he didn't comply it all. the judge found him guilty of engaging a defamation against these families and left it for this penalty phase that just wrapped up on wednesday. after looking at the evidence, including the fact that jones didn't make his financial records available be and that he didn't apparently seem to regret the things he had said about these families. they decided that $550000000.00 wasn't enough. and in the state of connecticut, there is no upper limit on how much a jury can levy in terms of punitive damages. so that's how we got to the

$965000000.00 of nothing else. it is certainly garnered national attention. you know, almost a $1000000000.00 that really does a capture people's attention, makes them pay attention to this case, to the concept of defamation. and the understanding that before the right jury, someone who was found guilty of it can be held accountable in a way that most people can't even imagine. and it was a very motive trial, wasn't it? rosalind, some hot breaking stories being were counted if have families of santa hicks victims have been harassed for years as a result of an exchange. lice. give us a bit more detail about those few weeks of the trial and the reaction from plaintiffs when the jury's decision. was announced. well 1st, a representative of each of the 8 families did testify and they talked not just about the heartbreak of losing a young child. remember, these children were age 6,

age 7 at the most, when the attack happened in 2012. while not only to have they had to deal with that kind of sudden grief, but out the people who were following alex jones of basically believed that these people didn't have children, didn't lose children in this tragedy were paid actors. and so they needed to be found out and they needed to be discredited. so these family started getting letters, email, phone calls, death threats, threats of sexual assault threats to destroy their homes. some families had to move away from newington connecticut because of this harassment. and they, they basically told the court that their lives had been, uh, just made, just untenable. after the verdict from the jury, there was a real sense of relief from the plaintiffs. but they ultimately stressed that even though what they thought had been

a strong message being sent to alex jones and those who support him, they also say it does not bring back their young children. children who now would be finishing secondary school, perhaps going to university or starting their 1st job ranking stuff rosalind jordan left for us in washington like you were ronald, ronald sullivan is direct of the criminal justice institute at harvard law school. he explained to me earlier that it's unlike 8 alex jones has the funds to pay the awarded damages. plaintiff's counsel will go after all the assets that he does have and those assets will get split up between the parties. the plaintiffs consistent with the way that the jury ruled. we have several options. first, they will file what's called a motion of remitted tor remitted or is a latin word in the american judicial system. that simply means that the judge can remit or lower the verdict without ordering

a new trial. so he can ask the for this remitted tour one to fury that the verdict as outsized. that doesn't work. you can ask for a new trial. if that doesn't work, you can appeal this jury wanted to send an unmistakably clear message that what joe's did was not okay. when it comes to a verdict over and above what the plaintiffs ask for a jury's ab enormous discretion. so you can have essentially the same facts presented to different juries in different jurisdictions and get radically different results. so the wound, i presume, is still quite fresh in the mind. the hearts and the souls of the people in newton and the sandy hook area. so i'm guessing that that had something to do with why the

verdict is so large or returning to the crying war now in the country is president has appeal to the international community for more money, for rebuilding of the number of russian bombardment. locksmith polanski told the world bank in the international monetary fund around $55000000000.00 is needed for reconstruction. and for the country, spending mills and fisher. so the recent russian attacks on ukraine hit 12 cities, as well as the human cost. it's estimated. it devastated a 3rd of the countries infrastructure. that'll take money to rebuild, which is why president blood amused the lensky asked the international financial community to step up or switch someone is rational or his, glean, the more assistance he crane gets. now, the sooner we will come to the end of the russian war, he estimates ukraine will need significant injections of funds just to run the country in 2023 and billions more to rebuild. it. did see

a $38000000000.00 to make up for the deficit of our budget for next year, including salaries for doctors and teachers, and other $17000000000.00 to rebuild critical infrastructure schools, hospitals, critical transport and energy infrastructure, and also housing. the united states has already pledged $15000000000.00 in support for ukraine and the international monetary fund hosting this meeting on ukraine with the world bank says, understands the urgency of action. our team is going to be with ukrainian a team immediately after daniel meetings to determine the macroeconomic framework and also what that would mean in terms of budget that he implications. our preliminary estimate is that somewhere between 2, a, sorry, $3.00 and $4000000000.00 are necessary on a monthly basis. the ukrainian economy has been devastated by the war with russia g d, p gross domestic product, which is the normal way to judge the financial strength of

a country is don't buy more than 30 percent inflation. the cost of goods is soaring and there is unemployment because 47 percent of companies have closed their door. the international financial community is aware of the impact, the war is having globally. and it sees the needs to help you create to bring stability back for it. seek and there's, i'll and fisher al jazeera at the i m. f. meeting in washington. western allies have vowed to deliver new air defense systems to ukraine as quickly as possible. rush as intensified air strikes across ukraine in recent days, killing at least 26 people since monday. the defense systems announcement came from the meeting of nato defense ministers in brussels. natasha butler has more from their will. you are sir. defense? secretary lloyd austin was leading a meeting of the ukraine defense contact group. this is a group of some 50 countries that come together regularly to talk about at ways

that they can best help and support ukraine. lloyd austin said that every time that i flatter me putin escalated the situation in ukraine, most recently with those multiple miss all attacks and civilian areas on civilian infrastructure were loiter. austin said that every move by the kremlin, in that way, only hardened the resolve of nato members and allies to do more to help you cry. now, the main way they can help, he said, is he is weapons. more weapons need to continue are flowing to ukraine. he also talked about moscow's threats to use nuclear weapons and we continue to watch indicators or indications and any type of warning that dirt that he may have made a decision to go or in a different direction. we've not seen any indicators at this point that would lead us to believe that. but again, it's not something we look at once and level all. this is something we remain focused on 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. when kinds defense minister was also at the meeting as well,

some of ukraine's a top military commanders. now keith is repeatedly said at that it urgently needs more weapons to be sent out by its allies. that was also something that yen started back said the head of anita. i welcome dot, turn a dollars sir. are providing an air defense system. so that is extremely important . and i welcome to recent announcement by a, by germany and also the, the delivery of german air defense system. so to ukraine, i think we all have seen why this is important to order. the horrific the in this from the 2 attacks against ukrainian, a citizen or by salt and berg. and austin said that nato allies were committed to helping ukraine for as long as it takes still head on out is era doc, king responsibility lost in denial. u. k. prime minister less trust face is pressure
