villarille is planning differently for the year ahead. there'll be no some flowers, no call, no weeks on this bomb being replaced by crops, more resistance to drought use defeat lifestyle, not people. he and his son are slowly adapting, but climate change may well pace. them. debating the issues of the day, 5 largest polluters that the world are in india, jump into the street, they made their money on coal. they made their money on field convincing those folks know we need to go. green is very, very difficult, giving all of voice. we chose to because we wanted to escape war and violence. when you humanize this narrative, you allow people to really understand the reality and break down misconceptions. the st. on al jazeera, with a warning that unchecked power is leaving behind

a sea of human suffering across the world. human rights watch releases its annual report. ah, i'm a blanca. this is al jazeera alive from dough. also coming up for lancaster, former president series center is find by the supreme court for failing to prevent the easter attacks in 2019. it's where the forces shoot a palestinian man near ramallah, the 3rd palestinian killed in the occupied west bank in 24 hours. and where in the indian hill town of jace mouth where buildings are crumbling, forcing a massive occupation. but people say they've know where to go. ah, welcome to the program. the 2023 human rights watch report says unchecked or thorough. terry empower is leaving behind a see if when suffering at spotlights. abuse is happening in

a 100 countries covering everything for war. media freedoms, gender rights, and refugees. among others, it puts the war in you crate of the top of it's a gender saying russian president vladimir putin is operating with impunity. and welcomes the international community's response, including efforts by you and the agencies to collect evidence of war crimes. but it says other crises of being ignored, as calling on governments and international organizations to take action. or correspondence of updates from some of the countries mentioned in the report. ready ready ready ready ah. ready 2022. with 1200000 people came to germany, claiming refugees faces the vast majority of them. ukrainians, many of them from germany, berlin's main central station here where their 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 a slightly different because pregnancy, freedom of movement around europe, as others don't. ah, lebanon's political class is accused of denying people their basic rights by failing to address and economic crisis that has pushed the 80 percent of the population into poverty. low income households have cut back on food, 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 finance the losses are

in the billions of dollars. ah ah, for the report details and litany of apparent russian war crimes including in poacher, a town north of heath was occupied by a russian forces you any 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 children with 230 palestinians were killed in conflict and confrontations with israeli security

forces in 2022 and a further 9000 were injured. those figures in the palace didn't help ministry and that includes those killed in 3 days. i was rarely asked for icann garza in august of okay. and israel is for the time the financial school on the palestinians. now deduct more than a 3rd of the $256000000.00 a year. it collects on behalf of palestinian authority and duties and taxes. and for a robertson is deputy asia director. human rights watch. 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 with the russian invasion. the situation across the world unfortunately has gotten worse. i. busy but 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 ne,

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. if we look at the asian region, myanmar a 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 cuz 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 been pointed out that there's a double standard that on one hand, 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 and saying with the story human rights watch says african leaders fail to tackle widespread abuses against civilians by security forces and non state arm groups. catherine soy has more from nairobi. european features are quite a prominent because of this conflict that has been going on in the north for the last 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 3rd. yes. many, many others have been displaced now. there is

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 lusting piece. but then we have also been talking in the last 2 years. oh, with our human rights of campaigners and activists about what has been going on in that region. it had been lock height, has been locked off. there's been a little abuses that have been going on in that area. very different. close to employment, to verify information that has been going on on the ground because they're, like i said, the area is completely blocked out, blocked off. so basically they, these are going on an activist that 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 years, the personal health ministry says it's ready, forces have killed a palestinian man in the occupied westbank 41 year old samir. iceland was shot in the columbia camp near ramana during an early morning raid icelanders a 3rd palestinian to be killed. the occupied west bank in the past 24 hours. the u . s. in japan of announced plans to expand military corp cooling china, the greatest security challenge in the region. japan's 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 okinawa, giving them the capability to hit ships and attacks in space on our part of their security treaty or say this comes ahead of a visit to washington by the japanese prime minister female casita. 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 shirt values of democracy and 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 viruses. and i think as a senior adviser for the national bureau of asian research, he says the threats posed to japan from china, both korea and russia, a forced ok to increase is military spending. the japanese last month published their national security strategy, as well as the national offense program guidelines at mid term defense program. all of which highlight an increase in investments and defense that are predicated, quite frankly, and addressing the very dangerous challenges at the people's republic of china. the north koreans, as well as the russian pose for japanese security. fundamentally what historically unprecedented here is the fact that the japanese are publicly

acknowledging the challenges that they're facing. i would actually use the word threat, the rep 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. busy capability, this is again very significant. german police are back in the village of luther

after where they're continuing to evict climate activists for a 2nd day. the protest is don't want the village to be demolished, to make way for the expansion of a coal mine. please say 200 activists left full entirely on wednesday, and they're still around 300 in the village. anti government protests and peru have spread to the southern tories city of cosco. health officials say dozens of civilians and 6 police officers were injured. after protested, try to take over the cities airport. many a angry about the ousting of former president pedro castillo in december. hotels have been held across the country since castillo was jailed, and more than 40 people have been killed. thousands of venezuelans have demonstrated in the capital caracas, demanding better wages. the group included public health workers, teachers, and pensioners. they're employed by the government and earn between 30 and a $100.00 a month. but inflation is making it hard to make ends meet the indian himalayan

they actually stuffed bed sheets to sort of a get by and earlier in january when parts of the town started thinking 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 paulson's 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. so like, as former president has been ordered to pay damages for failing to prevent the deadly 2019 easter sunday bomb attack, the supreme court found master paula syria. santa had received enough intelligence to act. he now has to pay $270000.00 to victims families. 269 people were killed. well, an i sal links group almost churches and hotels and the capital. colombo. michelle

fernandez, has more form colombo. 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, the lump edge i warden, had received information that these attacks were likely to take place. and in its judgment, the supreme court judges said there was certainty, exactitude. is there exact words of the identity of the potential attackers of the mode of attack, as well as the targets of attack? still ahead on al jazeera, we travel to one of the u. k. his most pro bricks at times to see how farming has been affected since leaving the european union. and the trade decision is celebrated in hong kong, but opposed by the us will tell you why. i'm

are growing science here and nationally. but sentiment is shifting. one survey this month, suggestively 2 thirds of written support a 2nd referendum in the coming years on rejoining the you and other that one in 3 supporters of the conservative government voted in on the slogan, get brakes, it done, believe brakes, it has caused more problems than it's sold, look, a drill can be crime, was always skeptical about briggs, it 10 percent of his exports used to go to island, but now costs for his retail customers. there have doubled an export to the continent of also dried up. right now. you know where we might ship at, you know, 10000 or 20000 beers at a time into europe. the paperwork, the fixed costs are really making our bears on competitive. but even if briggs regret is starting to trend higher, neither the government nor the main opposition made party is going anywhere near the political risk of a 2nd referendum. when breaks it, as an issue,
