12:00 am
very few of us really understand its capabilities. for better or worse, al jazeera explores the impact of a i accessing vast amounts of our personal data. data land on al jazeera. ah, this is al jazeera ah, hello i marianna marcia. very well. welcome to the news. our ally from london coming up in the next 60 minute. oh, leanne would behave that way at that moment in time, and ever serve in any position of authority in our nation. again. the us house select committee recommends charges against the former president donald trump,
12:01 am
for the january 6th. the riots on capitol hill a u. k. court rules plans to send asylum seekers, tonawanda are legal, but the people do to be deported. need to have their cases. we considered safeguarding upon it's bio diversity alignment plan is agreed by almost $200.00 of the world's governments. ah, rooms of gathering fines in argentina, getting ready to welcome back. that world cup winning team ah top story, the south u. s. house select committee investigating the january, 6 storming of capitol hill of recommended for criminal charges against president donald trump. the charges include obstructing an official preceding conspiracy to
12:02 am
defraud the united states conspiracy to make a false statement and insurrection. the congressional committee held its final public hearing had the release of its final report on wednesday, u. s. justice about well now decide where the trump will be charged. in addition to being unlawful, as described in our report, this was an utter moral failure. and a clear dereliction of duty. evidence of this can be seen in the testimony, a president. trump's own white house council, and several other white house witnesses. no man who would behave that way at that moment in time can ever serve in any position of authority in our nation. again. he is unfit for any office. i was there as my counter has been following the story. he joys me live now from capitol hill. what did the panels say mike
12:03 am
about challenging president trump? well, it made very clear its belief press. you heard that the form of president is unfit for holding any office, but it also outlined the ways in which he believed that they believed that he was guilty of criminal actions. this is what will be in the letter that the committee will send to the justice department at providing the evidence on which it basis its recommendations for the federal criminal charges to be laid. now it's notable as well that one of the charges the house recommends obstruction of official proceedings has already been used by the justice department against some 300 people who took part in the events on that particular day. so that is the charge that the justice department is really familiar with. the justice department has brought over $900.00 prosecutions in relation to the events on that day and likely to bring in
12:04 am
many more. now it's up to the justice department to decide whether or not donald trump is going to become one of those who will face a charges related to january the 6th, but also charges related to undermining or denying the results of the 2020 election. so this is a multifaceted thing, and one must remember too that the justice department separately is conducting its own investigation. having recently appointed a special council who will be looking into allegations that donald trump has been attempting to overturn the results of that election in 2020. has it been any response might from former president trump himself as yet there's been no formal response. previous public meetings of the general committee has been derided by donald trump. he's described as a witch, and as yet there's be no no reaction from the trump camp,
12:05 am
although it's highly likely that something will be coming in the course of the afternoon. thank you very much. my candidate for the falling developments on capitol hill. will ron at? phillip how sky is a defense attorney in a former state and federal prosecutor joins us live now from sarasota city, florida. as we were hearing that, ron, the january committee's referred president donald trump and some others to the justice department to face these criminal charges. is that a historical significance to this the 1st time congress has recommended charges against a former president? yes, certainly. never been done before, and i think part of what he's, he's trying to do right now in order to save off the process. the special prosecutor actually indicting him is to run for present. that seems to be his
12:06 am
strategy right now. you talk about the history of this, it's one thing to indict a former president. it's another to indict or a president who is currently running for, for president and again. and so i think he's doing that with the eye towards putting yet more pressure on the special prosecutor not to move forward with impede his run for the presidency or bab give particularly his hard core base of support. has that much more momentum? could it end up helping him in some strange way? good question. it will probably help him with his base because he can, he can come out as the victim. and in fact, he's already said a couple of times in interviews that even if he hasn't died in arrested, he will not drop out. he will still run. and there is no legal impediment or constitutional impediment to somebody under criminal type and running for president . as strange as that may sound, but it will probably help him within his own party. it could, could show him as,
12:07 am
as a victim. he's also putting out a number of statements to his own supporters saying we won't stand for this. you're going to rise up. you're going to do something about this. so he's also busy stoking soaking the mob again as well. now what's gonna happen with the evidence that is the foundation of these referrals? it now has to go to the department of justice. and so how is it likely to effect existing investigations by the department of justice and how quickly they likely to move? i mean, there's not going to be election until 2024, but presumably they won't want to sit on this for too long. i think it's important to note that they've already been working. they've already been working hard and they've issued a number of subpoenas. they've apparently talked to a number of witnesses. so this is just going to add to what is already happening. jack smith, the special prosecutor, has a reputation for working very quickly, very relentlessly. so if i was to predict the timeframe,
12:08 am
i would think we're probably looking at a summer, $123.00 criminal indictment of trump, which would be in the middle of the, the primary campaign for president. so that's certainly going to, going to throw a wrench into things at that point. i mean, how do you see that playing out? well, his main rival is the governor of florida rhonda sense. and rhonda said this has been very coy and very quiet about whether he's going to challenge trump. and i think what he's waiting for is that he's waiting for the diet. and i think he's going to make the case for the republican party that we, we can't move forward with a nominee for president who might be going to prison. that's just not practical. so . so i think that's the other ramification of this too, is his main challengers. are waiting for this to happen and hoping that that helps them in some way on the found sky. thank you very much for taking the time to speak to her on the news hour. thank you so much. without their
12:09 am
ally from london, much more still to bring you on the program, a race against time to restore power, to several ukrainian cities as russia steps up it's drone offensive or so we'll be speaking to the canyon fishing community, saving their coral reef. one piece at a time. ah, and did you minister from the european union of agree to implement a cap on gas prices? you members are under pressure to bring down high energy costs. i'm had concerns about shortages. block has been trying to reduce its reliance on russia for gas after moscow and painted ukraine. in a price gap will kick in from the middle of february. dominic kane has more from berlin. you get a sense of how unlikely this agreement seemed for many weeks. in fact, some would say several months when you hear what the relevance check minister,
12:10 am
the track government has the presidency of the year at the moment. and they have been driving these negotiations. you get a sense of their reaction to this agreement. when you hear what use of secular had to say to reporters after the meeting broke up. and other mission impossible accomplished. and as it is in the movie a series. this last. ready was probably the most difficult one. i am proud that the trick presidency finally solved the last piece or far the of the energy puzzle. once again, we have proved that the, the eat will, can deliver points here to remember is that there were several different sides to this. on the one side you had the germans, the austrians, the dutch, who really were not sure about the value that a price cap could have and would bring this idea of
12:11 am
a fixed financial value for each megawatt hour. and then on the other hand, you have or is one of the other sites you had several southern mediterranean e, u member states who really were as it were crying out for some degree of help. the greek minister, last week in brussels, had said this was ground 0 for greek citizens, but also e, you citizens, the commission. the e u commission had wanted $275.00 euros per megawatt hour to be the price cap. the fact that it has been dropped to 180 gives you an idea of the lengths that everyone has had to go to to find this compromise. remember also that this is not going to be in operation actually effectively until the 15th of february. but point to they're trying to stress all of these, that this is a weapon they can use to try to deal with what they consider to be the worst parts of russia's war with ukraine in so far as
12:12 am
e u. member states are concerned and out there as alhashan has been reporting from moscow. he has the latest now on or sponsoring the kremlin. russian of the shows have been over the past few days, commenting on the possibility of having such such a decision. but today, the major best. gov, this is the grubman junglin spokes person said that the decision is unacceptable and that russia is preparing an appropriate response to this decision. now about he did not really reveal what's this response re, a predicted that there might be a more elaboration or details from russian officials, including president putin or foreign minister love robot. till the moment there is no clear decision on this. so it's just that the, the, they think it's on acceptable and that there are going to have their own also
12:13 am
measures the russian president vladimir putin and his bad russian counterpart, alexander lucas shank, have pledged even closer ties. but putin has denied russia, wants to absorb it. small a neighbor vision traveled immense camila shank for the 1st time since the invasion of ukraine. the leaders say both countries have overcome sanctions imposed on them clear bilateral trade. russia used batteries as a staging ground for its assault on ukraine. little could assist you with another wave of russian attacks is at ukrainian capital. keith cranes military says it's shot down 15 drones on monday morning. government is rushing to re still power to several cities after russian strikes destroy parts of the country's energy grid. chance stratford has more from keith. with torchlight guides shoppers along with shelves. roches almost nightly bombardment of ukraine's
12:14 am
electricity and energy infrastructure means millions of ukrainians. spend much of their daily life in the dark victoria shopping with a 3 year old son, daniel. they flit fighting near their home in the care of san region in april, given a keel, establishing and the authority is tell us. they've stabilized the electricity situation, and then there's another attack. it's been like this for the last 2 months is week . he's got used to the darkness and importantly, he's not afraid. we have no choice. we have to get through this from emergency services battle fires across cube and various locations throughout the country after another russian bombardment, early monday morning. this home was completely destroyed in a village close to give by one of 30 so called kamikaze drones. ukrainian military says it intercepted marian from italy. hercules etiquette albert. we got used to
12:15 am
what is happening. it's scary. thoughts of possibly becoming homeless is terrifying . everyone is scared, but we are bearing at sampling with it again. maria and denise have to carry their 2 and a half year old son david, up the stairs to their apartment on the 13th floor because electricity is down again. so the elevator doesn't work. give us 10 days after the invasion, as russian forces advanced towards their apartment, blocking your pin, they fled to the netherlands, and then france. they have only recently returned. maria comforts her son in bed. she tries to send him to sleep. denise has put plastic sheeting over the windows for additional protection against the sub 0 winter temperatures. the 1000 total. no just no, it's pretty hard but we try not to complain because we think of our soldiers living in the trenches in dismal conditions. but on one occasion,
12:16 am
we didn't have electricity for 2 days like nancy at us. yes, it's cold. sometimes the child is coughing. it's winter, but we can get through this. we wait for spring and victory. located nearby is one of thousands of heated tents with generators put up in recent weeks where people can get warm and charge their devices as work continues around the clock to fully restore electricity and heating across the country. roger's drone and miss, i'll attacks targeting ukraine's energy infrastructure are happening with increasing frequency. and that means that many people in neighborhoods like this one face another night without heating and in the dark cha strafford al jazeera give. and here the you case, high court is ruled the government plan to send asylum seekers to wanda is legal that people taishan policy was suspended in june after last minute challenge. but
12:17 am
the course is also ruled that 8 individual asylum see cause you to be deported. must have their cases reconsidered. hurry force that reports the governor london's high court refugee campaigners awaiting the ruling on legal challenges to the british governments stated, aim to send the vast majority of people seeking asylum in the u. k, automatically to rwanda, to have their claims processed. and if successful to be settled, for the most part, the judges found in favor of the government. though just as lewis writing, we have concluded that this lawful for the government to make arrangements for relocating asylum seekers to wander and for their asylum claims to be determined in rwanda rather than the u. k. however, the home secretary must consider properly the circumstances of each individual claimant. the court ruled that had not been done in the case of 8 individual asylum seekers whose deportation, her wonder was cooled off in june. after the european court of human rights intervened,
12:18 am
people will have watched as to what's been carefully today. and they will know now that that is a legal route open to them to challenge any of the decisions made by the home office. and between that situation and the possibility of appeals moving forwards, no one should think that this litigation is going away any time she suddenly allowing individuals to challenge deportation to ruined up would undermine the government's claim that the policy would deter them from trying to get to the u. k . in the 1st place, this year, the number of people making the short but dangerous crossing from france is up more than a 3rd at around 45000 people. speaking in latvia, britain's prime minister, welcome the ruling while i want to deliver is a system whereby if you come to the u. k. illegally, you will not have the right to stay and we will be able to return you to your own country if it's safe or a safe alternative. like rolanda, that's a common sense position. i think of the vast majority of the british public. it's my position and that's why i want to deliver is prime minister, the various organizations who are challenging the government policy have of course
12:19 am
expressed a deep disappointment at this ruling. but they're also saying that the road is far from run on an individual basis. asylum seekers will still be able to challenge that deportations to rwanda. and as far as a generic decision is concerned, that may well be grounds for appeal. i welcome the judges from the high court today . the british i'm secretary, has in the past called for britain to leave the european convention on human rights to allow it more freedom to act. if any appeal against this ruling were to succeed in the european court, it would leave her colleague the prime minister, who studiously avoided that question with a difficult decision to make harry faucet al jazeera london. tom joined in the studio now by james wilson, the deputy director at detention action, one of the organizations that has led the legal fight against this policy. you must be disappointed by the ruling today. will you appeal this decision? well, yes, as you say, it's a very disappointing decision today we need now to carefully consider our options
12:20 am
at this point. it's a lengthy and complex judgement, but we need to me to consider that the high call as you say today, may make that decision. but it's the 1st court to be looking at the lawfulness, lawfulness of the policy. why do you say it's complex? i think it'll mean facts later. it's a lengthy, on complex judgment. those covering the cases of a number of churches liberal, the challenge, a union and unimportant the 8 individual clients who were, who had roommate move directions through under positively today from the point of view. those kinds of had their removal directions cancelled. and those case of been referred back to the home office because it was acknowledged by the court even while they were saying the policy as a whole was lawful that they will fundamental problems with the decision making in those processes relieved about. so that's one positive aspect of the ruling is that there are 8 cases that have to be reconsidered now. yes, absolutely. and what would be full to the decision? part of the decision making person has to be reconsidered. why those a number of things when went wrong in terms of the process in terms of the time
12:21 am
they were given, the notice parents that they were given their access to legal advice, number of fundamental issues. and the court was very critical about the government in terms of that decision making process. but overall, the ruling means that anyone who's arrived illegally in the country since january of this year can be lawfully removed and deported to or wanda. how many people could this potential die to? yeah, that's, that's the fundamental concern. and we're very worried about the hundreds of people we think who currently had notice of intent to wonder. but all the, also the thousands, if not tens of thousands of people in the asylum process, who will be worrying about the aspect of this policy being applied to them. and that's, that's a huge concern is how it is hard to exchange wrapping right one from the other. well, i mean, there are lots of people who may, who we hope will never be actively threatened with, with removal toronto. but they will be fearing that it, that it, that it could happen because the policy potentially is extremely broad. i think one
12:22 am
point i'd make is that obviously, lawfulness is, is a very important point. but it is the only thing you need for a policy to be to be a reasonable policy to be the right thing to do. and we maintain it's an inhumane, unethical, ultimately unworkable policy. of course, just because something is legal, it doesn't necessarily make it ethical or in, in line with humanitarian rights. but i suppose it does play very conveniently into the government's hands because it's been endorsed by the prime minister over she sumac. that is true, but i would say that in the course of this, this legal challenge, we've actually seem to can the, the wider concerns about this policy grow robin shrink. we've heard in the course of this, this legal process so far that the government is ignored. external but also internal advice about with policy about the safety of removing people through wonder. as recently as last year 2021. the u. k. government in the un criticized the rwandan government and its treatment particularly opposition figures for extra judicial
12:23 am
killings, for torture and disappearances. the you and i see are very unusually intervened on our, on our fight, in this case. arguing that the asylum system in runners just not fit for purpose. it's not safe. and there's a very real risk of people being returned from rwanda to the country from which they fled, facing torture and persecution. but nothing could be done to compel a reverse this decision. if the appeal fails. well, we'll, we'll have to see what the next considered, what the next legal steps are. but i think you have to look at the, the, the wider criticism that's coming from different directions in terms of the very quick going to highlight how divided public opinion in this country illness. well, i thought it was interesting. today i saw briefly the, the prime minister's remarks today, welcoming the judgement. i think he cited the vast majority of the public being on site. i saw, i think it was a hugo posted. i said about 10 percent are actually in favor. so i said, certainly we haven't seen any evidence for the majority of the public are in favor of this policy data. more recent poll suggests that perhaps more people are saying
12:24 am
to question and very concern. thank you very much. do you enjoy the james wilson? now, the dutch prime minister lot roacher is issued a historic apology. his country's role in 250 years of slavery. it comes as a debate over reparations for those affected grows, including efforts to return looted art, for many descendants. an apology isn't enough. as 30 car reports to labor spent nearly 150 years after abolishing slavery. the netherlands has apologized for its role in the state of trade. from the 17th to the 19th century dutch colonize was kidnapped and estimated 600000 african men women and children, and ship them to south america and slaving them on plantations. they were not alone . several european empires traded in millions of human lives for humbler from the ne lunch today, i apologize on behalf of the dutch government for the actions of the dutch date in
12:25 am
the past, for my post them asleep to all enslaved people who have suffered from that act worldwide to their daughters and sons into the descendants felt in here. and the apology comes months after the recommendation of an advisory panel set up by the government after worldwide protests against the murder of american, george floyd in 2028. described the slave trade as crimes against humanity with ongoing impact for descendants. the netherlands formerly abolished slavery in 18. 63, but the practice lasted another decade in its territories, including saran m. to day 60 percent of the population of the tiny caribbean country lives below the poverty line. groups from former colonies have criticized the timing of the apology, calling it hurried and how fostered with a lack of consultation. writes campaigners say more needs to be done to address racism in dutch society. they point to the practice of blackface during the
12:26 am
festive season, where people dress up as the christmas dale characters warranty peace, which translates as black peas. prime minister rata says more than $200000000.00 will be allocated to awareness campaigns and $29000000.00 to opening slavery museum . for many descendants of slaves. it's just not enough. human rights watch says, a true reckoning requires reparations, including restitution compensation and rehabilitation. but for now, the dutch government isn't willing to go that far. friday, a car out a 0 nearly 200 nations of agreed, a landmark deal to protect the planet to the united nations cop 15 by diversity conference in canada. cornerstone of the deal is the so called 30 by 30 goal, a place to protect 30 percent of the world's lands and oceans by 2030 car. only 17

12:28 am
with review efforts as well. to track that progress. the agreement pledges to protect 30 percent of the planets, land, and oceans by 2030 and increased funding for conservation efforts. but some african nations and environmental advocates wanted stronger commitments on funding for poor countries. at stake, 1000000 species of plants and animals, which studies say are at risk of extinction due to human activity like farming and fishing diversity, lasting climate change, their 2 sides of the same coin. and we need equitable funding and it's, it's just not clear from the framework if there is new money for conservation programs. another key breakthrough is the inclusion of indigenous peoples rights as an essential component of conservation. throughout the 2 re conference, protesters brave the montreal cold to raise awareness of endangered species,
12:29 am
and keep the pressure on delegates. the un secretary general praise the deal, but warned even more needs to be done. these is not the time to sit on the sidelines. it's a time for resolve, determination. and yes, even hope. because despite the limitations of long odds, we are working to push back against the spare to fight back against this illusion. and to find the real solutions. not perfect solutions. now it's up to individual governments to follow through on the agreement and figure out how to implement it that will involve getting rid of subsidies that are harmful to nature and essentially doubling financial resources for conservation globally by 2030 kristin salumi al jazeera. so i had for you on the program, thought this from across india gather in the capital new delhi, and the latest protests against the government and twitter use as wait to see if it

you run an economy? without electricity? how do you run an economy without proper logistics, that can get goods from 8 to be and then expert export them out of a port o port used to be the best in the world. they another worst in the world. and the ins he cannot pull the wool over our eyes. any more south africa is fixable. we have a glorious country here. we inherited fantastic infrastructure. we can fix all this, that e and c is bankrupt, morally and financially. it cannot do so. it will not do so. it needs to be put out of power. it's almost 30 years since there's a glorious movement came into power in south africa. it is sallied its soul by itself. it needs to be jettisoned. and if they learn, well,
12:42 am
hallelujah to the uses a vote, had fail on masters step down as the platform c e o. off the 1000000000 around a poll and said he would respect the results. almost 58 percent of the 17 and a half 1000000 people who responded said he should quit. and the allison's the po, ended mosque has an indicated if he'll stick to his promise. in exchangers with 20 users, he said there was no success aligned up. ramishes sort of austin is a professor at the u. c. l. a department of information studies he joins us via skype now from san francisco. what was he trying to achieve with this poll? well, i think we have all seen that the 1st couple of months. the initial period of takeover of twitter has been highly erratic and pretty whimsical. mark has been constantly getting in fights and battles with twitter users. he has made a number of decisions that are turned out to be very unpopular, not just for users,
12:43 am
but advert searches as well. so i think my life sort of to play games in a certain sense and put things like the straw polls out there to see what users are actually wishing for. and i think it might have been a little telling for him that he was so significantly outvoted by users on this platform. but it gets to a much larger challenge, which is a single man trying to take over a platform that have much profound influence on journalism. because twitter is not measured by merely a number of users, but by who, right and many journals, all around the world source, their story using twitter doesn't mean they verify their stories that way. and the fact that a single person, especially one who likes to get in turn wars on twitter and can be a little bit unpredictable, doesn't really want to make any substantive changes to the platform. so it's more democratic and more, less algorithmically stream is the real problem here. so i think clearly the
12:44 am
situation for mosque has not been a pleasant one at twitter, but i think you'd like it as a certain type of challenge. and definitely a type of legacy for him as well. with his purchase of twitter and opportunities warmed, it was an oil destined to go well to be this much of a disaster. well, i think the way must have gone about attempting to govern a platform like twitter, which is very different than speed facts or tough love, which are technical. those are technology companies, right? twitter might be seen as a technology company, but it's actually a social media company that has much influence on global journalism and communication. twitter with already not doing well financially before mac took over . but it's become even worse with erotic decisions. and until actually comes clean and actually develop a strategy for governing twitter, which is a platform for public discourse and public dialogue that really is rudy in ensuring
12:45 am
that journalistic principles are really followed. and people don't feel betrayed by math, erratic decision making. it's going to continue to be a problem for him. so it was already leaking money. it's doing even worse now. but really because of the payments you that basis every major tech company today, an absence of democratic principles for governance. that doesn't mean that they need to be the expert on these issues, but they need to hire journalists in different parts of the world who can ensure that extremist content isn't what ends up going viral, let alone, you know, the sometimes, you know, again, as i said, erotic, or whimsical division of a single person who sort of sees that as a legacy. right. you see that as sort of his opportunity to tackle with one of the biggest challenges of the time. but it's really ultimately about giving up power and release, supporting the greater public and global interest that twitter should always be about as well as being a for profit company. oh,
12:46 am
