a great deal to find out the truth in very complex situations that include major global players. we'd be targeted by cyber attacks from russia. they're all they just do this kind of work. belling cat truth in a post truth world on al jazeera there's a wave of sentiment around the world if you will actually want accountability from the people who are running their countries. and i think often people's voice is not heard because it's not part of the mainstream news narrative. obviously we cover the big stories and report on the big events that are going on. but we also tell the stories. people generally don't have a voice or the child that to never be afraid to put your hand up and ask a question. and i think that's what actually really does. we ask the question, the people who should be accountable, and also we get people to give their view of what's going on. ah, this is al jazeera

ah, hello, i'm robot this. and this is the news, our life from doha, coming up in the next 60 minutes. a warning that unchecked power is leaving behind a sea of human suffering across the world. human rights watch releases its annual report. to rank as former president citizen, as find by the supreme court for failing to prevent the easter attacks in 2019 israeli forces. shoot a palestinian man near ramallah. the 3rd palestinian killed in the occupied wife's bank in 24 hours. and jeff back has died at the age of 78 to rock musicians are failing him as one of the greatest good talk. first of all time i'm geminus with sport as australia is cricket team withdrawals from that tour against afghanistan because of the taliban treatments of women and girls. and a little messy makes a winning was and i saw july and his 1st match since lifting the lock up with

argentina. ah, he's just past 10, g m t. we're going to start with a 2023 human rights watch report. it says unchecked, authoritarian power is leaving behind is see of humans suffering at spotlights, abuses happening in a 100 countries amongst them, war media, freedoms, gender rights, and refugees. it puts the war in ukraine at the top of its agenda, saying russian president vladimir putin is operating with impunity. it welcomes the international communities response, including efforts by you and agencies to collect evidence of war crimes. but it says other crises are being ignored. it's calling on governments and international organizations to take action are correspondence of updates from some of the countries mentioned in the report.

ready ah. ready 2022 was your estimated one point. 2000000 people came to germany, claiming refugee status, the vast majority of them. ukrainians, many of them from germany to berlin's main central station. here where that application process could begin. but it's estimated around 200000 people from syria, afghanistan, iran, iraq also came to this country. the treatment they received. that was slightly different because koreans have freedom of movement around europe. as others don't. ah, living political class is accused of denying people their basic rights by failing

to address an economic crisis that has pushed the 80 percent of the population into poverty. low income households have cut back on foods, while the large refugee population has been hit hard, decades of corruption and mismanagement has nearly bankrupted the state, which is no longer able to provide services like electricity, financial losses are in the billions of dollars. ah, ah, for the report details and litany of apparent russian war crimes, including in butcher, a town north of keith was occupied by a russian forces un say for the least 70 people were unlawfully killed or go in my

pole in the south of the country. russians formed a theatre that had been clearly marked out as a severe shelter. hundreds of people were killed, including chilton with 230 palestinians, were killed in conflict and confrontations with israeli security forces in 2022 and a further 9000 injured those figures in the palestinian health ministry. and that includes those killed in 3 days. it is rarely asked for icon garza in august with that. and israel is further taught in the financial school on the palestinians . and now deduct more than a 3rd of the $256000000.00 a year. it collects on behalf of palestinian authority and duties and taxes. phil robertson's deputy asia director at human rights watch and he's warning the

situation across the world is getting worse. if we look at what's happening in afghanistan for women and the girls, and we look at what's happened, obviously in ukraine, i with the russian invasion, the situation is across the world. unfortunately, it has gotten worse. ah, but what we're also saying is that it's responsibility of many other governments. the not that traditional governments have cared about human rights from the european ye in north america. but governments from latin america, from africa, from middle east, other places to also step up and do something about human rights to recognize that they have an important role in promoting human rights and protecting human rights and not leave it to others. we look in the asia region, myanmar is a, an ongoing human rights disaster. you have a country being torn apart and crimes against humanity being committed every day by a military junta, backed by china and russia. ah, you know, there needs to be a much stronger focus because this is something where there is interest in the region to try to resolve it. but the reality is that the international community is

just not focused enough on dealing with that issue. certainly north korea, there's a lot of problems in north korea, but again, you know, it's a major, major rights abusing state that often seems to get away with it because everybody's talking about their nuclear weapons or their missile technology. there is quite clearly of been pointed out that there's a double standard. that on one hand are refugees from the ukraine, have been treated very well worth a refugees from syria, afghanistan and iraq who tried to reach europe have received just the opposite kind of treatment. that is a very serious concern, and that is a legitimate criticism of many of the european member states that you know, they're not necessarily odd, you know, playing evenly with everyone or human rights where it says african leaders failed to tackle widespread abuses against civilians by security forces and non state armed groups. catherine sar is joining me alive from nairobi. katherine, let's take ethiopia as an example of one of this. the report says that the armed

conflict and if you get only a fraction of the world's attention talkers through what's happening there. yes, saw a feel p a features oh quite a prominent because of this conflict that has been going on in the north for the last of the last 2 years. and this is a fighting between government forces and to grand fighters. thousands of people have already been killed in this said to yes, many, many others have been displaced now that reads a ceasefire in place as we speak of all sides are saying that they want peace. they are trying to walk out a way to finding a lusting piece, but then we have also been talking in the last 2 years. oh, with the human rights of campaigners and activists about what has

been going on in that region. it had been lock height, has been locked. also has been a little abuses that have been going on in that area. very difficult to information to verify information that has been going on on the. 0 ground because there are, like i said, the area is completely blocked out, blocked off. so basically they, these are going on an activist. so we have been talking to said that despite that piece, athletes that are going on there also needs to be accountability adjusted to the people who have suffered so much in the last 2. yes, catherine. thank you very much. indeed, catherine. sorry, talking to us from nairobi. shank, as former presidents been ordered to pay damages for failing to prevent the deadly 2019 eastern sunday boma tag. the supreme court find the meister paula city center had received enough intelligence to act. he now has to pay $270000.00 to the

victims families. 269 people were killed when an isolated group bombed churches and hotels in the capital colombo. we're going to speak to michelle fernandez, whose life for us in colombo. finally, somebody is being held accountable. we still don't exactly know who carried out the attack when out. that's right. i mean, essentially this ruling by the supreme court to the 7 judge bench. the building you see behind me was in response to 12 separate fundamental rights petitions filed by a cross section of people. this was the boss of vision, lawyers of families, of victims who had died in those horrible attacks in 2019 the catholic church. all of them had basically sought to look for some form of answers, accountability of someone who should essentially, you know, pay the price of blame the oil or take responsibility for those 269 lives. and this

is what the court has basically observed and handed down those fines. it's not just the form of president my 3 policy santa who basically has been given the hefty is fine. but there's also the chief of intelligence, the head of police at the time, the secretary of the ministry of defense and several other senior officials who have been so important this kind of fine. and the key thing is that there was intelligence weeks ahead of those bomb attacks on the 4th of april. in fact, those easter bombings to place on the 21st of april, but as early as the 4th of april of the intelligence chief milan, said j warden. had received information that these attacks were likely to take place and in its judgment, the supreme court judges said that was certainty. exactitude is their exact words

of the identity of the potential attackers, the mode of attack, as well as the targets of attack. and what they found basically was the fact that it had gone ahead without being prevented is a huge lapse in terms of responsibility. going as far up as the chain of command to executive of this country who had all the wherewithal to listen to that pat at us and prevent these attacks. and that's why the supreme court has come down with these compensation. and this essential verdict, as well as to recommend, disciplinary action against that senior police officer at the time intelligence lumped a job or dinner for disciplinary action. you said that the families of victims have been looking for accountability. do you think that what's happening is going to satisfy both the families of the victims, but also of course the people of shore lanka as well

the fact that finally, it's taken more than 3 years that someone somewhere has been actually named with a proper sort of a fine if you like, or a punishment for just disregarding the value of human life that there was saw a sort of tied up. i mean, at the time micro policy center was in this pitched battle. the government was broken up. there was a breakdown of the security council and there was a breakdown in the system. and as a result, people lost 269 lives. so yes, to a certain extent, those families there are entire families that have been wiped up parents who have lost 2 or 3 children. i mean they have empty home, so they're willing to a certain extent be a little bit of appeasement with this verdict. but we mustn't forget that the actual masterminds behind the attack haven't yet been identified. they have been

obviously prosecution. the case is going on in supreme court in also the higher courts of the country that are 23000 non charges filed against a group of over 40 people that have been identified as prospects. but there's also a lot of unanswered questions that sort of, you know, raise questions about the timeline. one why the warnings were ignored, but also key questions like, you know, the movement of explosives, how they will procured, you know, things like this, intelligence operatives being involved in a possibly involved in these attacks into intelligence being sort of whisked away once they were detained for questioning by other arms of the intelligence, saying that these were our people, this was our project. so there still a lot of questions that must be answered to find the masterminds and those who actually carried out those attacks. this verdict,

the compensation is about responsibility about cross nick visions and the failure of intelligence and the government to protect its people. but i think this still a long way to go before sri lanka and those families of those victims are actually appeased about who did this and whether they're going to be brought to account. michelle fernandez, talking to us from colombo, thank you very much indeed. anymore. had a new zone, including the u. s. and japan announced plans to strengthen their security cooperation. as tokyo seeks to counter threats from china and north korea. police in germany use force to remove protesters have gone to great heights to stop a coal mine expansion. and, and sport the driver who made it 3 wins in a row or the doctor reilly that's coming up with jemma. ah,

the u. s. in japan of unknowns plans to expand military cooperation, calling china the greater security challenge in the region to pans foreign and defense ministers have been holding talks with american officials in washington, d. c. they've agreed to alter the u. s. military presence in cuba, giving them the capability to hit ships and attacks in space. and no part of their security treaty is comes ahead of a visit to washington by the japanese primus of formula, krisha. japan strategies align closely with our own national security strategy. both of the key challenges that we identify as well isn't how to effectively address them. we're committed to upholding shared values of democracy in human rights, defending the international rule of law. continuing to lead the world and tackling global challenges that no one country can solve alone, like the climate crisis. and the reverses. john police are back in the village of lloyd south where they're continuing to evict climate activists for a 2nd day. the protesters don't want the village to be demolished,

to make way for the expansion of a coal mine. but you say 200 activists left voluntarily on wednesday in those still about 300 in the village stair vasa reports. oh, as dawn broke, his burst into the village, taking protest, us by surprise. activists occupying the entrance to little rat were pushed back. shame when you shouted at police. those who didn't follow orders were carried out with the police often using for us to remove them. to witnessing here is that from almost every state in germany, police is being vent here, forward this eviction. and that really shows the priorities of the state and the government. people here who are trying to defend our likelihood, what's rank to do to, to stop climate destruction. that's where the priorities i to evict those people.

and that's really absurd and crazy. every one by one, they're being dragged out, making the village of little had m, tier and m tier as we speak. but this protest that has been lasting for years is not over yet. thousands of police officers were used to clear the village which had been occupied by activists for the past 2 years. during the affection dina hum meet hit in one of the houses she sees literally as a symbol of germany's failing climate policies. what we really want is to get as many people here as possible, because we know if we are many, we can still stop the call from being burned. so that's why we're playing for time . that's where we'll be, we will be as far as up as we can go. and then they will need some time to take us down. but the time and affinity is running out, while protests will show some acrobatic skills, police have brought in specialists personnel to remove them from roofs and 3 houses

. the showdown at the mine has become particularly uncomfortable for the green party, whose minister has been responsible for keeping coal for your plans open. he says the war and ukraine has delayed climate goals. lower is how does i to believe that climate protection and protests need symbol. but the empty supplement of luther that when the one least anymore in my view, the wrong him bullet 2030 number call will be used to produce electricity in the 9 lamps coal mines. my political rock achieving similar deals elsewhere in germany to keep the activists have said that even after the eviction, their protest over the mind expansion will continue. steadfast and al jazeera and lit up. ukraine says his forces are still holding onto the eastern time of solid. died but the fighting is tough, the russian mercenary group, wagner, has led the offensive and claiming it sees the town. but the kremlin has warned, against declaring what it called

a premature victory. natasha buff is joining us now. live from keep. so the fighting, continuing in the mining time of solar don. tasha. yes, linda, ukrainian officials are still very much insisting that solar door has not fallen into russian hands. that ukrainian soldiers are holding on to that positions had been some confusion. it suddenly was nicholas situation on wednesday when we heard from the boss of the russian mercenary group, wagner saying that his troops had taken control of the city. well, as you mentioned, that the kremlin, certainly not saying the same thing, that i'm backing those things by, by the wagner boss. but the kremlin is saying that things are going in a positive direction for their troops on the ground. oh, for the training president followed him is uminski in his a nightly address? will he? a talked about solidarity, thanked the troops that are a fighting day. so bravely he said,

for ukraine. he also said those that all these claims by rusher about capturing solid r a just propaganda from russia. this is all part of what he said is a big mobilization efforts on behalf of moscow to try and persuade mal russians to fight in this war. the thing the really is clear though, is that the situation on the ground there in solids are in this salt mining town in the east. the country is extremely grim. russian ukrainian forces happening, fighting for weeks and weeks, months, even in the most difficult conditions. it is extremely cold now, of course, and even some soldiers have been talking about such close combat that sometimes russian and ukrainian forces have been fighting every single house. and that's exchange, that house might have exchanged sa, asides between ukraine, russian forces several times in one day, just gives you a sense of what is like in one minute tree top military, ukrainian car command, the sang, some of the fighting has been so fierce,

so intense that he said it's like some of the faces bottles, water potential looking at the wider picture across ukraine, apparently dead. you cream, trying more power, cut to charter, manage the energy crisis that is still going on there. yes, it's obviously an ongoing concern. and so what ukrainian energy officials have announced is that they're going to be rolling out some emergency power cuts, mainly in the south east and the east of the country. now this is all about trying to alleviate the strain on a ukraine's energy. great. of course, it has been repeatedly targeted by russian forces shelling with a drones as a russians tried to target those energy power systems, electricity grids also water. so what the ukranian officials are hoping is that these emergency a couch rollouts will help alleviate that system because temperatures have been really dropping over the past few days, minus degrees in many parts of the country,

particularly in the southeastern and eastern regions. it very difficult situation. there are a energy workers, of course, are trying constantly, daily every day to, to re supply to get these energy systems back up and running. but the cold weather is also making their work in their task very difficult for people for a civilians, a life without electricity, as you can imagine, is extremely grim. they don't have heating at home. they often don't have lighting for hours, days on end. and you're also talking about just everyday life trying to get an elevator up to a high up floor. all children who are at home trying to have a schooling online need the internet. they called people to have the internet of communication. so very difficult indeed. the weather really compounding and already very bleak situation for many gotcha barclays in keith. natasha. thank you. cambodia. sending a team of mine clearance our exports to ukraine to help their long lines and

unexploded devices may take with them. decades of experience and expertise learned in their own country, only chang has more from non pen. ukrainian mind clearance teams painstakingly go through, recently regained territory. it's slow but essential work. the 4 civilians can return and start rebuilding their lives lactation browsers and in fact, our soldiers are immediately followed to the liberated areas by those who restore all conditions for normal life. the 1st and most basic one is d, mining by the occupies leave behind thousands of unexploded minds and ammunition, he believed, replied an estimated 25 percent of the rockets missiles used in ukraine. don't explode on impact, leaving a deadly hazard that must be carefully removed. and destroyed the d. mine is from cambodia due to arrive in ukraine. this is familiar territory in an unfamiliar country. now will be a similarity that will be

a difference. and however, i strongly believe that stand not operation proceed year to ensure the safety of operator. i'm not very much difference. after the civil war in the 19th seventy's and eighty's, an estimated 6000000 pieces of unexploded ordinance remained hidden across cambodia . finding it in the thick undergrowth is difficult, and the explosives become more unstable over time. but the munitions deployed on modern battlefield, such as ukraine, a very different and this is where the cambodian team can pass on its wealth of knowledge to be of right, the order munitions in use across the globe. all of us, the different obviously technologies progress. i'm hugely, in the, in the last 2030 years, but out of the basic, so d, mining, you know, will, will transfer often those weapons are produced in nations, not immediately impacted by the war in which they're deployed. and the can also

serve as a testing ground for new munitions. the cambodian genocide was a very different conflict to the war and ukraine. but it was wage with weapons from the superpowers of the time china, russia, and the united states weapons that remained lethal. decades after the conflict was over 30 years after fighting stopped on the killing fields of cambodia, unexploded munitions still kill maybe hundreds of civilians every year. the legacy of a conflict that prevents people leaving it behind tony chang, l t 0 non pen. the father sitting in health ministry says is ready for says have killed the palestinian man in the occupied westbank 41 year old son. iceland was shot in the columbia county as ramallah during an early morning raid. ashlyn is the 3rd palestinian to be killed in the occupied west bank in the past 24 hours to government protests in peru spend to the southern to the city of crucial health

we want you all just need a reminder of our top story is this our human rights watch is released. it's 2023 reports looking at the condition of human rights and more than a 100 countries. it says unchecked power across the world is leading to abuses and violations. the palestinian health ministry says is ready. forces have killed a palestinian man in the occupied west bank. the 41 year old shots near the mala during an early morning rate. he's the 3rd palestinian to be killed in the occupied west bank in the past 24 hour lose us in japan of announced funds to expand military cooperation, calling china the greatest security challenge in the region. the us military base in okinawa will be given the capability to target ships. i don't think he's a senior advisor for the national bureau of asian research. he says the threat posed to japan from china, north korea, and russia, a force tokyo to increase its military spending. the japanese last month published

their national security strategy, as well as the national offense program guidelines at midterm defense program. all of which highlight an increase in investments and defense that are predicated, quite frankly, and addressing the very dangerous challenges that the people's republic of china, the north koreans, as well as the russians pose for japanese security bundle mentally. what's historically unprecedented here is the fact that that japanese are publicly acknowledging the challenges that they're facing. i would actually use the word rep the read that they are facing and that they are taking, again, unprecedented steps in terms of doubling. in essence, their defense budget, which is again historic and unprecedented. now the united states will

provide additional sales of military capabilities. my understanding is tom off is one of them, which is a cruise missile that will for the 1st time in, in post war to history provide that japanese with what most observers would, would call an offensive capability. but that the japanese, referred to as a counter strike capability. this is again very significant. taiwanese armed forces held military drills on wednesday, that follows renewed threats intentions with china type. he says 57 chinese aircraft flu, nearly allan during the weekend vision. consider taiwan as of brick away province. the indian himalayan town of josi mouth is being evacuated as its buildings crumble as being blamed on non stop construction in the area and a changing environment. about 600 houses and hotels are sinking buttons near the

that's when these cracks became wider and this home became unlivable. now people over here have been moved to a temporary home as have hundreds of other people. the government estimates poses of people have been affected is offering compensation of about $1800.00. but many people say the money simply not enough for them to move and rebuild their life somewhere else. at least 19 people have been killed in storms. the continued to batter, the u. s. state of california emergency workers are struggling to clean up the widespread damage. thousands of people, a still under evacuation orders in some parts of the state. officials expect another powerful weather fund to hit the state on friday. rob reynolds has more from the c side ton of capital on. one of the reasons that this series of storms has been so destructive and deadly is that people here in california, as in many other places around the world, often build structures in places where they might be better advised, not to. there's an example here where i am in capital, you can see these

a brightly colored buildings behind me that are right down on the shore line. they were just battered and heavily damaged by waves high surf that has come in over the past several days of waves up to 7 meters tall. ah. and you could see that some of the windows and doors are actually boarded up. so a nice place to be when the weather is good, not so bad, not so good when the storms come. ah, as they inevitably do. but amy main opposition parties rejected the ali results of sunday's parliamentary election. the democrats, 128 seeds out of the 109 member assembly. but his leader at a conduct a is accusing the president's allies of winning the elections vote. buying and fraud hasn't provided any evidence. the party was effectively bought from money in the last election in 2019 brazil's communications ministers told on to 0 that
