12:08 pm
a wow, i had some trouble sleep in that then even in calling event happening with a former top. if the i official who investigated russian oligarchs has been accused of working for one and violating us sanctions. agent, charles mcgonigal pleaded not guilty to 4 criminal charges, including conspiracy and money laundering. mcgonigal is the former head of the if the ais counter intelligence division in new york. he's been indicted for helping sanction to russian billionaire or lake pasco. mike hannah has more now from washington d. c. this is
12:09 pm
a very senior for my f. b i officer. he retired in 2018, but even before he retired, he was carrying our tech to the t's, which would've appeared to be helping the very person that as head of the counter intelligence he was supposed to be investigating. that is all that a plus get a russian only gog now he's been charged with assisting that pasco, who was placed on the us sanctions list a back in 2018. and it's alleged that he and a former russian diplomat who is now a us citizen assisted therapy, jessica, and also indulged in money laundering. now there were 9 indictments laid against mcgonigal, but in a separate case, another 9 indictments were unfilled in washington, d. c. now he is expected to appear virtually in the dc court on wednesday, he will play that, that particular point. the human rights group has filed a criminal complaint in germany, accusing me and miles military of genocide. the case brought by fortify rights,
12:10 pm
also accused as the military of crimes against humanity and war crimes. over its crank down on hank, your most muslims in 20162017. with security forces reportedly carried out mess rapes, and murders during war. tara, he's called a clearance operation. germany has a principle of universal jurisdiction, but what does that entail? it's a legal concept that allows countries to investigate and prosecute crimes, even if they were committed abroad. the universal jurisdiction can only be used for serious international crimes, including genocide, terrorism and war crimes. or the vast majority of countries recognize the principle of universal jurisdiction, which was codified in 949. geneva conventions. will matthew smith is the head of fortify rides. he explained who the complainant are and why this case is so important. it's about half of the complainants in the case,
12:11 pm
survived the rank of genocide in 2016, 2017. and about half of the complainants had survived or witnessed mass, atrocity crimes that occur that occurred since the crew on february 1st 2021. so it is a, a diverse group of people putting their faith in hope in german authorities that they may achieve some measure of justice the investigation. the international criminal court is very important, but that focuses narrowly on force. deportation is a crime against humanity against ro hangup. so it doesn't cover the mass atrocity crimes that are unfolding on a daily basis. we're seeing massacres. village is getting burned down. people getting arrested, tortured, killed every day and me and more. and so with regard to the case at the international court of justice in the hague, that is a case that essentially deals with disputes between states. so that is focusing exclusively on state responsibility for the rank of genocide. so in other words,
12:12 pm
there is no individual criminal liability that will stem from those proceedings at the i c j. it's a very important case. the gambia has done a great thing and bringing that case, but it is, it is very different from what we're, what we're pushing for in germany. now, it's important that we recognize that not a single perpetrator from me and mar, despite a lot of attention internationally over the years, not a single perpetrator has been held accountable for these heinous crimes. and we are seen the me a more military, you know, enter into the air space, for example, of its neighbors. india, thailand, bangladesh, were seen air strikes on civilian targets. were seen accident essentially amount to these mass atrocity crimes, crimes against humanity, war crimes occurring routinely. now, and so it's, it's crucial at this stage that german authorities and other sent it aloud message to me and more military leader ship and soldiers that they are not safe from
12:13 pm
justice in this world. they need to know that they will face accountability for their crimes. they should be punished for their crimes. and that is exactly what the complainant, in this case in this complaint are seeking who major tried between australia and china, appears to be on the verge of resuming with the 2, promising to mend relations after a more than 2 year ban on commodity imports for the 1st shipment of australian, coal is reportedly set to arrive in china as early as next month. sir clark reports from brisbin. it was this meeting between changing ping and anthony albanese on the sidelines of the g. 20 summit in indonesia, november. that indicated relations between australia and china were out of the diplomatic duke free us. 2 years after beijing placed an unofficial ban, australian lobster, coal, barley, wine, and beef. industry leaders are optimistic. the next step will be the lifting of those trade restrictions. we've got to get back there if we could. log robson.

12:15 pm
$14000000000.00 a year. actions that are now before the world trade organization. camera has indicated it would be willing to reconsider its case if beijing lifts restrictions, we shouldn't be over confident, we shouldn't be complacent. we should continue to try to diversify our tried vice and the like. because the geopolitical problems with china aren't going to go away in the short term unless say the rebuilding and political trust will also take time . try mr. don ferrell, macy's, chinese counterpart virtually in coming weeks. it's the latest sign of efforts to try and stabilize what has been a turbulent relationship with australia's largest trading partner. the ministerial meeting will be the 1st in more than 30 o'clock outta 0, brisbin. well, still a hit on al jazeera, jam packed streets around an ancient temple in northern india, by plans for redevelopment to causing anger among residence and mending fences.
