and this to perform and to reach beyond the ill deeds of their pass and the confines of bad pressed the dance of thieves. a weakness documentary on al jazeera . as 2022 jewels took place, we reflect on the major stories did she tell? join al jazeera per series of in depth reports, looking back at this year and to head to 2022. ah, this is al jazeera ah no, this is in use. our on al jazeera, i'm fully back to ball live in dora. coming up in the next 60 minutes,

i caught in myanmar sentence, says people's leader and found so cheap to another 7 years in prison. on corruption charges shall now serve a total of $33.00. yes, tributes from around the world for a legend elk a beautiful game play has died at the age of katy to brazil declared 3 days of national morning. also the south russia launches a series of kamikaze jones on ukraine a day after one of its biggest missile attacks since this side of the war. and more than a 100000000 people were forced to flee their homes in 2022. we look at the implications for countries around the globe. ah, thank you for joining us, myanmar steeples leader anson. so she is facing more time in prison. she has been

found guilty on 5 counts of corruption and sentenced to a combined 7 years in jail. since the military seized power last month, the former nobel peace prize winner has been convicted on a range of offences including corruption and flouting covered 19 restrictions. she faces a total of 33 years in prison on sansom. she denies the charters as go live to tame warner. billy who is falling the case for us from singapore taymor. this was a laugh of the cases against unfeigned so cheat. what specifically was she convicted for to day fully. there have been any number of charges. let's not forget, this process has been underway for almost a whisker short of 2 years now since the 2 over through her national lead for democracy government back in july end of january of 2001. so the 18 month process has been a series of charges one after another. up until now a total of 19, but none of them really have been specifically articulated. you have to remember

that all of this has taken place behind the close doors of naperville prison auction to she herself has not been seen or allowed access to outside counsel, except for occasional access to her own lawyers. the un isn't representative off the, on his end representatives that been refused entry to see young santucci. and the charges themselves have ranged from a very vague, broad description of things from high corruption to accepting hundreds of thousands of dollars in cash and gold. things like accepting a legally importing walkie talkies into the country. so as i say, the, the charges have been very wide ranging and very diverse but not particularly specific. this particular set of charges. the last 5, the remained was wrapped up on monday, behind closed doors. that make it all prison and the verdict announced today friday . and the major elements of these ones as we understand were charges relating to a helicopter that was 1st leased and then purchased by the me and while government,

and according to the military, that process was all done fortunately, and corruptly, and led to profits for not only young censor, g, but the president of me and more at the time. so as i say, a wide range of charges all of the very vague and of course, in the eyes of most of the international community. most of them not particularly compelling and thinking of the international key to tell us about the reaction to the trial and the situation in myanmar. and also the regional reaction to what's been happening in while interestingly, the regional reaction has been almost entirely 0. some of the news local newspapers have carried it, but mostly just repeating why a copy stories from reuters and a p appearing in the local press. none of them quote, any comment from local leaders. local politicians has been no official statement from any of the governments of asia, or indeed any of the governments of the 10 nations, all of whom have been spending

a lot of time fear, radically trying to persuade me and mom to come to the table and discuss and stop the violence and the anti democratic process has been going on. as you know, on monday, the u. n. d, p, the un security council, rather for the 1st time in the history of a free me in law has issued a council resolution against me and more condemning the countries activity, demanding the release of prisoners, demanding a cessation of violence. and asking us to once again, step back into the diplomatic process. but up until now we've not seen any engagement by local governments or even any comment on this resolved team or thank you very much for that team. want to be live there in singapore. well, let's discuss this further now with christopher gunners, who's director of the me on more accountability project. he's joining us live from glasgow. thank you so much for being with us. so what do you make up of the outcome of this last corruption try? was there any possibility of justice here? absolutely none. these secrets military courts are frankly 10 rude courts. there's

no proper scrutiny from what we know about them. they don't meet international standards rights to proper defense lawyers getting very little time with clients. and they clearly do not meet international standards in any case. and this is a legal john to which these power attempted in, in needle coo. so anything that flows from that, for example, this court system is clearly going to be an adjustment which is why the accountability project not condemns this. this, these are clearly false. as far as the analysis is concerned, i think there are 2 things that i'm told things that need to be set. first of all is comes just days after that security council resolution. and it's a very defined act to the clear signal that the nano john to this fatal juncture is not going to be bound by this decision of the security council to release political

prisoners, of course, including sam to chief. the 2nd thing that is a very clear indication that this farcical election, which has been told the next year is going to be exactly that. it's going to be false in the elections of november 2020 sounds. she and her party was overwhelming victory. the military back parties were completely wiped out, and this is that rather cat handed attempt to try and take control of the medical process at the time with the loss control the situation on the ground. they are not in fact, of control. and frankly, this position is going to inflame passions even further, and it's very likely to lead to i have felt christopher, there's been a un security council resolution condemning what's going on in me and more demanding that funds will be released. but you say that's not going to carry much weight with the military. what is what is going to, what could possibly change your stance? do you think is internet, if international pressure doesn't work?

what a good long bargain including the bargain against aviation feel. i think that makes a difference and i think that has to be diplomatic sanctions. we need to see step up to the plate. and i'm pleased to say that with indonesia assuming the chair of africa and i'm just a few days time on the 1st of january, i think that i pray that that policy, that robert to pine stand, which is taken may change in to me. there was one of the number of countries which did not go to meeting in thailand a few days ago made its position very clear. so one of hoping, 1st of all that we're going to see a bit of backbone from under the indonesian chairmanship but also accountability. we have to see as young countries stepping up to the plate, we're about to see the hearings and the enemies in constitutional court about the attempts to bring universal jurisdiction cases against the johnson that pray that that moves. or we may also see in the philippines to bring some cases that so i think accountability hand in hand with tougher financial sanctions and

international on to bug. i think that might start to make people who make it all the sale junk leaders. and they think again, but they're every indication so far, it's fine. it's national. who's on the ground, the opposition continues to challenge them in every way imaginable bothers is increasing. all of the pulling scale in the violence has been increasing. what do you think are the prospects, christopher of any democratic momentum in me and mar today? well, 1st of all, we are seeing things change on the battlefield. i think things are in the state of complete complete flux, but it's clear that the janitor has lost effective control over much more than half of the young. and i think every day the passes and the john to shows it's up not to be in effect control. i think things are filtering in favor of the democratic national. you've got to pull it is struggling to find government in the world that are prepared to recognize the and you've been asking to government,

but i think that what we're going to see it's going to be a protracted battle. but they, on the diplomatic front, i think we'll need each moment front. i think on the political front, i think there's no doubt that while the jump to this fail juncture attempt to cling to power, i think in 2023, we all going to see passed slowly away. and i pray will lead to genuine changed and the change and respect for human rights for the people that they are now seeing fathers not seen in se asia. paul paul unleashed the terror of the marriage in cambodia in the late seventy's. and we have to do everything we can to avoid that night. thank you very much for talking to us about this christopher gun as director of the me on more accountability projects. joining us from classical, thank you for your time. thank you. matt, brazil's government has declared 3 days of morning after the death of legendary football at pelley tributes have been pouring in from around the world for the 82

year old who died after a long battle with cancer. has been described as the eternal king. and the most divine of football is fenton monahan has more a footballing giant looks down on a nation in mourning landmarks across brazil, paying tribute to the man widely regarded as the greatest player of all time for his whole career. since he was a little boy who grew up in a poor community, he stood out for being the best player in the world. we who witnessed really a life have a feeling of gratitude towards st. kelly with think the national team by 16 and by 17. his to amazing goals and the final one, brazil, the world cup. in sao paulo fans gather where it all began. it was here at the santos football club. the young pele got his start at the age of 15. he will go on to greater things, but local times, feel a special connection to him. he's got a job mention it said that the king of soccer died. that names no further comment.

he did so much of a soccer modernized to do. he was a 3 times will cup when i say he'll go down in history, the legacy he left behind will last forever and he inspired many of the great players of today argentina's world company, and captain leonor messy post a photo saying simply rest in peace. brazil for name r, says pele, change the sport. he turned football into art and gave voice to the poor. but it all could have turned out very differently. speaking to al jazeera in 2007, the police spoke at the pressure he was under to take another patio. my father said ok, no, i don't want to be a sucker play football player. you have to say that have to be a duck though. profits, my mother used to say, and i don't play the i have a luck, but the not is not the everyone who has the kind of a one of the biggest debates in sport is whether he was better than argentinian

legend, madonna, who died in 2020 in 2000 people, awarded them joined player of the century. but pele was unique. his name is almost synonymous with football. on monday, his body will be taken to santo's the place where it all began, and his final resting place. sentiment him al jazeera was present. randy richardson joined us now on the news, our andy tributes coming in from around the well share with us some, some of the ways that pell is being re, my remembered. i think the enduring thing for so many people is that we think of football now being a global game. we've had it for granted, but he was the player that became global long before that could. that was the case . he think of the 1958 will cut when he emerged as a, as a player and as a, as an international phenomenon. the walk wasn't watched in 958 in the way that it's watched in, in 2022. but he became the 1st face, the 1st player that people used to commercialize football and profit from football

. so he was, he was the faithful for so many things. and so many aspects of football that we now just take for granted. like one of the things that people often said about pele to his detriment is that he can't be compared to my ra donna ro messy because he never went to europe to play football. they'd stayed in in brazil with santos. but i think there's a couple of things on that. one, brazil, pretty much would let him leave, you know, various presidents past laws to sort of keep him in the country pretty much in also that the fans wanted him to stay as well. but also he took santos to the world at a time and that one, everything was to win in brazil in south america. it's all parts of the world. they played the best and they beat the best. and that there's one story. the couple of people have mentioned that may may not be true with the fact that it's out there. it sort of speaks volumes, is that when you went to nigeria in 60. yeah, late sixty's. they said there's a face far in the, in the ongoing civil war. just how the everybody could focus on football for 48

hours now. it may may not true. so it's lost in the midst of time. now, the apocryphal, but that was the, the status he hadn't and still has to this day. and i think the, the final thing just to mention is that we think of it now as just is one glorious march to success tries career. it was, you know, there's a great deal of adversity as well from, from 1958, the 962 world cup. he was injured in gaines, who in the valley featured for his country 966 in england. he was kicked out of the world cup, kicked out, but he was kicked out and injured during the well cupping said, i never want to play football again because players weren't protected as they are now. he said, i never want to play for brazil again if that's if the way to national was going. i'm not interested. and he's put into a lot of pressure from, from the governments and from funds to go back to 970 the coach. he was in charge initially set out. i won't pele in the school, he's going blind. he can't see the football anymore. and eventually there's a change of coach was brought into the squad. and everyone just remembers the glorious goals from 1970 came to

a lots to become the legend that we remember today. right. and we've seen reactions from, from beyond the world to football, from world leaders, musicians and so on. yeah. course. i mean, he transcends everything. i mean, we were looking at the footage there of 2007 when i was lucky enough to meet him. and when he came to catherine a couple of occasions, then there was a certain other player who was also in cats are on that day, the aga, my rodonna. now normally if my are with owners in town, that's where the cameras a focus. but for once, marathon would walk into the room and then pella would walk into the room. all the cameras would disappear. leave my donna behind, that's the, that's the sort of magnetism he had an ar is quite funny. watching the fight a little game of father's side, sort of with some of the kids from the far academy. marathon i made a big point as your basil the king. you kick off, you are 1st pick of the players, and he's playing a little bit, but marathon a 40 was the best. i think we should all agree with them in the thank you so much,

andy. lucky man to have met pelley. thank you. anti plenty more ahead on this news our, including the united nation faced a test of diplomacy this year in the form of the war in ukraine. we'll look back on the year that was officials tried to navigate a way out of the political gridlock in northern cost of what happened the now you cranes therefore says it's shot down all kamikaze drones launched in a garage of russian strikes overnight. the attack came a day after russia launch, one of the biggest may sound strikes since the side of the war in ukraine in february, the korean military says it fair defense is intercepted, 54 rockets and 11 jones on thursday. charles ratford has more from keith day off the one of the biggest cruise missile attacks across ukraine, the ukrainian, or,

sorry to say in the early hours of this morning, 16 so called camera kazi, drones were intercepted 7 of which, over the capital city key. if they say that a one government building was damaged by fragments of one of these are intercepted drones is also talk of superficial damage to a residential building. no casualties reported last night. president zalinski highlighting again the kind of difficulties that millions of people across the country are suffering having to wear. endure these rolling blackouts and lack of access to heating in the winter months. and he said that the worst affected areas were key. if levine and odessa, we spent some time in a residential neighborhood close to cave, where one of these intercepted cruise missiles landed. and this is our report at least one man was believed to have been in his house. when he was hit by

intercepted, russian missile was rushed to hospital. emergency service is search, but anybody else? dead or alive? under the rubble. a mother and daughter will also found injured in the house next door. tatiana cries into her friend's arms. my grand daughter called me and said that has been explosion, and that my daughter was unconscious, undesirable. she is in a hospital now. i don't know her condition. tatiana, as other daughter, yana arrives. mamma stopped now please. she says stop crying. salvage food from the fridge sits on a wall. jelena away through the destruction william wallace. my grandmother made this. she says,

this lovely garden uncle with my sister is in hospital. i don't know what the latest is. my niece is also injured by shrapnel. residents climb over the rubble to inspect the damage and check that friends and neighbors are safe. his mobile phone, which is reportedly shows one of dozens of russian cruise missiles soaring across the sky. they split it shows what's believe to be a ukrainian, a defense team successfully destroying another before it reached its target. 6 ah, your swords you say the majority of miss isles in this latest barrage were intercepted with a she level of destruction in this residential area of cave. and the fear amongst people living here shows how even a successful interception can destroy people's lives. anxious faces, hundreds of kilometers from the eastern and southern front lines. did

a diesel around 9 a. m. there was a huge explosion and the shock wave through my grandson from his bed. we're afraid because this is the 2nd missile that was intercepted in this area. but this one seems to have exploded the doll it was, was your daughter alone? the missiles had been flying over this area since the invasion in february. we hide in my brother's basement below 35 people shelter there. a blanket covers a dead dog killed in the blast. thing like that yona finds her pet alive. maybe she cradles it him arms amongst what remains of her home. don't be afraid, she says, don't be afraid. shall stanford al jazeera, give and diplomatic. as i said, the united notions or fail to stop the war in ukraine, but the u. n. has provided aid and how to broker a deal that we opened global grain exports from the black sea. added the magic editor jim smith's report,

some un headquarters in york. when president putin launched his invasion on the 24th of february, it was the start of death and destruction in ukraine. but the reverberations were felt around the world, including almost 8000 kilometers away in the corridors of the un in new york law. north, i call to order the 914030 recession of the security council. what had happened was clear cut, a permanent member of the un security council had breached one of the main tenants of the organisations founding charter. one country should never invade another russia's veto power meant the security council was paralyzed. instead, on 3 occasions, russia was left almost isolated in votes in the un general assembly. summit feared the war would lead to the virtual collapse of the un, terry warrior. but looking back the secretary general of the un antonio guitarist told me he was pleased that the organisation had some limited successes on the

ground. the when is a complex organization that has different dimensions and different parts. obviously for the security council, this war as been her, a very dramatic factor of inefficiency. but these waters demonstrated the enormous value over humanitarian action lads by un and un agencies. these as demonstrated that the u. n. is probably the only platform that was able to seriously talk with both sides to try to solve not the war unfortunately. but some specific problems that have that emetic impacts at the global level. the you unorganized the evacuation not just of ukrainian fighters, but also women and children from the other style still works and mario, poland may then in july, working with took here. the u. n. arranged

a deal to allow green ships to once again, cross the black sea, partly alleviating the global hood crisis. i think that could, harish has really stepped up in response to this war. his previously had a reputation for caution. he's had a reputation for not challenging the major powers, but in this case he has stepped in personally to a lot of diplomacy around humanitarian issues in ukraine and also the global food crisis. and i think he has gained credibility on the world stage as a result of his effort. the secretary general has made it clear that he doesn't see any chance of meaningful negotiations to end the war anytime soon. instead, the u. n is focusing on trying to further alleviate the suffering they want to extend and expand the black sea grain initiative and to work with international committee of the red cross to arrange a mass prisoner exchange between ukraine and russia. despite the u. n's limited

diplomatic achievements over the past 10 months. the situation is still extremely delicate. the u. s. in its nato allies want the u. n. to send an investigation team to examine claims that iranian drones have been used by russia. but al jazeera understands the secretary general is stalling because he fears russia will then pull out of the grain deal. james bays al jazeera at the united nations. now malaysia is to start testing waste water for traces have covered 19 on planes arriving from china. fears of contagion are growing as b g. ease is restrictions and rising infections are overwhelming hospitals there. despite that, china has been reporting only one call that related death for day, for the last 2 days. but other nations are skeptical and at the world health organization director general, urge china to provide transparent data. several other countries are introducing mandatory coven, 19 testing for travelers from china. that includes south korea. eunice came past

more from so this eating and shopping. mecca of young as sole and pre paid them at times was bustling with visitors from china, so much so that they can order their food or a lack of cosmetics in their native tongue. and even as the area revives, we are not expecting that influx to return even for the lunar new year holiday. and that's because cove it 19 competing concerns will be keeping them from being single . nick will restrict issuing short and visas in china. it is necessary to refrain trouble from china until the virus situation is stabilized. in new guidelines released by the health ministry, non essential travel will be restricted from january 5th throughout the month if not throughout february. there won't be additional flights at it, and all existing routes will be funneled through a single airport in china international for those who qualify to enter,

they'll need a negative cove in $1000.00 test result to board and take a p. c. r. test. within 24 hours of arrival. south korea has been trying to maintain its own coven 19 infection situation under control. this comes as senior citizens, boosted rates, remain stubbornly low. and as the number of code 19 related deaths and serious cases have been on the rise by double digit percentage points this past week. the winter months ahead still look challenging for health officials here. in contrast, indonesia has announced it will now lift all cov 19 restrictions. as in joker, dodo says the spread of virus is under control with infections and hospital admissions. below the world health organization's guidelines, he hold on people to remain vigilant. however, say they could keep where they should keep wearing masks in crowded areas. let's not speak to dr. barret pan cognac was a public health physician and specialist in infectious disease control at the

university of excite her medical school and is joining us from bath in the u. k. thank you so much, dr. franconi for being with us on our job here. i. so there is growing concern about the number of cases of coven 19 in china. is there any data that indicates what kind of variant is dominating and causing? are the rise in infection said? so my understanding with respect to china is that it does not have a unusual ah, different, rare in to what is circulating in other parts of the world. having said that, because there is that issue of trust and transparency with china, we can never be 100 percent. sure. but my empirical feeling as a clinician are in somebody working, but this be for this issue is what is circulating in china at the moment? is also circulating in other parts of the world a what, what is at play here? you think, are we back at the,

the end of 2019 or early 20 twenty's when china was the epi center of the pandemic . so this is a clear case of hollow china tragically very tragically, has mismanaged the 2nd half of a panoramic. it did really well with it. test craze contained when we had no vaccines. unfortunately, after the vaccines arrived, china did not deploy the better quality. the better for forming vaccines, the m r n a vaccines that the west used and china pursued a absolute 0 policy. so now we have a chinese population that is not immune has not encountered this virus before. so when they open up and they open up suddenly, all these people are as if they have never come across this virus before. some of them, the wonderful elderly old people will get very ill. they will clog up the hospitals,

and unfortunately, a small percentage of that elderly, one of our population will die as well. right, dr. franconi, how much should the rest of the world be worried then and, and perhaps how much further ahead are they in terms of the resistance and vaccination rates compared to china? that's a great question. so the western world, which is not only immunized but serially boosted, is in a very good place, are countries that are not are highly immunized. a boosted for example, india would be very concerned. so if i were an indian politician, i would be saying my country is not heavily boosted, a surge of infections may be coming from china. i had better immunize my population to protect them, because we can't keep this away by locking our borders. the only thing the one thing that we know works is vaccines and use good quality vaccines to protect your population with respect to the variance arising. well, of course,

it can arise from china, but it could also arise from anywhere else in the world too. and for that, we keep on observing, monitoring and checking, but to protect the population, use the m m a m r n a vaccines, immunize, dr. barra pan kani. i always get to talk to you. thank you so much for joining us on out year. thank you. time now for a check on the world, whether his cara. hi there, it's a largely settled picture for much of central asia and south asia. now that that winter front has blown through, it did drop the 1st round of snow in cobble for the season. but of a winter remixed there, but it has cleared away pretty quickly out east. you can see that cleared away some of the fog and small for northern areas of pakistan, but it does stick around for northern areas of india. new delhi, seen the temperature at 20 degrees celsius, were being warned of a cold wave with temperatures set to dip down slightly over the next few days. and further south of this, a largely settled picture,
