really the hutus additional turkey, this is and so forth. frank assessments, you know, that was a joke about the interim government that it's not inter, i mean, no, does it got inside story on al jazeera there's a wave of sentiment around the world. people actually want accountability from the people who are running their countries and i think often people's voice is not heard because i just 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 will say, tell a story that people generally don't have a voice. another child that's never be afraid to put your hand up and ask a question. and i think that's what i'm really does. we ask the question for people who should be accountable and also we get people to give their view of what's going on with ah,

hello, the arnet clark. this is a news our life window coming up in the next 60 minutes dangerous times for journalists. a new report says the number of media personnel kills last year doubled in just 12 months. a crackdown on corruption in war torn ukraine, the deputy defense minister and 5 governors lose their jobs in a big government shakeup. the judge investigating the deadly bay route port explosion charges, the former prime minister and other top officials. he are the 10 nominees for best motion picture of the year that the nominations for this year's academy awards are out to me. tell you who are the favorites to win the oscars. and in for victor, i as aaron came back entitled contention at yale saying open it to the time when i threw to the semi finals for the 1st time in a decade ah,

from the front lines of the war in ukraine to a shop rise in killings in latin america, 2022 was another deadly year for journalists and al jazeera was not untouched. our own correspondence re not barkley was shot dead by the israeli army, while on assignment in the occupied west bank. in may world wide, at least $67.00 journalists and media workers were killed last year. the highest number since 2018, and an almost 50 percent increase over 2021. more than half of the killings occurred in just 3 countries. ukraine, mexico and haiti each reported the highest number of journalists, deaths, ever 18 of those killed were local reporters who were murdered in retaliation for their work, covering politics, crime, and corruption, or correspondence. now have this report from some of the toughest places for journalist to operate.

2022 was a deadly year for journalists around the world, covering bull conflicts, but also reporting on politics and corruption. we've seen journalists targeted for simply doing their jobs. well, ukraine is a dangerous place for journalists are often covering stories very close to fighting all the front lines. but what we've seen in this war since february 2022, his attacks can happen anywhere. and at any time now at least 15 journalists were killed in ukraine since the war began in february, amongst them and american, a lithuanian frenchman, but also ukrainians most were killed in the 1st month of the war. but many others have also been injured or even targeted in the course of their work. in latin america, media workers are facing daily challenges last year. british journalist, dumb phillips was murdered in the brazilian amazon. it 2022 hero matched her. more

journalists were killed than any other country. bar ukraine. the committee to protect journalists says that the team in total died. that's more than they ever recorded in mexico. one of the reasons for that, well, as you would expect, the call tells the gangs that a very powerful in parts of this country are attacking and threatening journalist, but also authorities. a federal government start says that 40 percent of the threats and attacks against journalists actually came from officials. a lot of times those are local ones, it's local journalists here in the hinterlands of the country that are most affected by this journalists have been under attack. over the last decade, we've seen press freedom regress in the philippines. we've, we've, we've now shocked 2 at the press freedom index where 147 out of 180 countries around the world last year radio. an online commentator percival, nevada was gone down inside a gated village investigation,

revealed that the former prisons, chief of the philippines, gerald. but that was the mastermind. but it's not just the killings abs. cbs, the country's largest deuced network, still cannot broadcast on we do air tv. there is hope however, maria reza nobel, prize winning journalist. she's been cleared the past asian chargers, though she still faces several cases in court, and her news outlet rattler still is in danger of closure. israeli forces target and shot al jazeera journalist, kidding of our plan. while she was on assignment. in janine, she was a household name and veteran journalist whose colleagues looked up to and for that for her killing to go without accountability even though she was killed in front of the camera, just gives you an idea how difficult it is and how high the price is for a journalist in palestine just last year, 117 journalists were subjected to a tax by israeli military, according to the palestinian journalist syndicate. and 2023. doesn't look any

better. let's begin, jody ginsburg, who's president of the committee to protect janice jones is now from new york and judy, another grim year. indeed, 67 journalist killed. what conclusions do you draw from the data gathered? what we can say is essentially the tip of the iceberg killing of a journalist is the worst thing that you could possibly imagine. and it's indicative i think of the sharpie to terry deteriorating environment for dennis. and more generally, we saw a 50 percent increase in done is killed. also saying a shot record number of dennis imprisoned. done this, threatened everywhere around the world. not just mexico ukraine, places where we so high levels of killings, janice, and the threat. and it's the trend, would you say overall, is it up over past years?

yes, the trend is in terms of press freedom declining, and the trend in the threats against unless it's growing, we're seeing growing numbers of less intimidated or 9 particularly women's or less . and that often leads those threats online from the to physical violence offline and then attention the imprisonment and the very was killing some janice were killed doing their jobs directly and was others victim victims have targeted killings including of our own history and i blacklists what does that kind of story that john is covering when they're killed. tell us about the trend and what's happening. it's really interesting. so as you say, the whole number of dennis killed last year were in ukraine 15. janice killed ukraine you expect covering a was own to be a dangerous assignment, but what's really stuck about these numbers is more than half the journalists killed were not,

the majority of john is killed. we're not covering war. they were operating in nominally countries, nominally at pace. and conflict, but increased lawlessness threats by government officials and the culture of impunity were these killings go unpunished, is all part of the pattern. and often these done, this are local journalists that covering local affairs. and what happens, of course, when they're not covering those is, there is no information going out to those local communities about all sorts of things. political corruption, business about health care, about the environment. that's what happens when you effectively silence the journalist population in a small community. more than half the killings i think, and right saying you cut and just 3 countries. that's right. so 15 killings and ukraine, 13 in mexico and 7 in haiti. latin america is particularly alarming to us. we've seen increase nolan smith across the region. done this,

trying to cover that known this. this of course incredibly vulnerable that vulnerable covering political protests, the bundle covering political corruption and collusion. and all too often we see a failure by local authorities often because implicated in that very corruption to address and keep safe those journalists or tackle that murderers and bring them to account j. if you personally as president of committee to protect jealousy, this must be pretty depressing as an annual report. it certainly focuses the mind. but all it does is revealed this terrible trend that we've been talking about. and does it really make any difference in the end? you write as to passing, i'm a journalist and i never thought when i started as a journalist that i would be witnessing journalists killed for covering politics in large capital. metropolitan cities are being threatened for doing their jobs. i

think what gives me hope is increasingly i think people are beginning to understand the value that journalists bring and the importance of journalism to society as a whole. i think there are things that we can do. we're working really hard to ensure that there are effective mechanisms to protect unless, as a federal mechanism in mexico, we think more can be done to strengthen that with resources to effectively protect journalists. so though it is a depressing picture, i think barry's hope for change and improvement or jody important work is an important report indeed at jody ginsberg from the committee to protect janice. thank you. or any more still ahead of you are including a new complaint against mammals, military accusing them of war crimes and genocide. no end in sight, protest has improved, continued their demonstrations calling for the president's resignation. we've got sport coming up and

a half hour. so this year's rugby world cup hosts getting ready to start their international season. ah, ukraine's president has carried out a big shake up in the government to try and rooted corruption, top adviser for deputy ministers, and 5 regional governors have all lost their jobs. the 1st to resign was the grillo mishenko the president's deputy head of office. he was implicated and scandals involving his use of expensive cars, but he denies any wrong doing. deputy defense minister i love shopper, well offer has also resign following and allegation that his department overpaid supplies for soldiers food. the charges came just changes came just 2 days after the up to infrastructure minister, viola lazansky was arrested and accused of getting kickbacks of up to $400000.00 in a deal to import generators. so let's go to cave now. natasha butler,

standing by natasha. we got a wholesale clara going on. what is happening now? will ukrainian present fellow to me as lensky had indicated on monday that he was going to make some changes in government circles because of a number of recent corruption her scandals and allegations. what we now know, what those changes are, we've seen a number of top ukrainian government officials who have resigned or have been dismissed the same for a number of regional governors, including either governor of here, the capital keys. now, as lensky says, we are, look, we're at a time of war. there is no place for corruption at any time. there's particularly no place for corruption at a time of war when all politicians or people should really be focusing on the war effort is also said that are all officials are no longer allowed to go on holiday abroad. they should be remaining in ukraine and very much focusing on that war

effort. as i said, look for sir lensky. he knows that you have western powers. ukraine's allies are sending billions of dollars of military and humanitarian aid to the country. they of course, want to know that their money is being well spent and not siphoned off by allegedly corrupt ministers. semanski is also very aware that for ukraine are to become part of the european union. one of the conditions is that corruption is stamped out in the country, and corruption has been a problem in ukraine. uh for many years it is endemic, but a was lensky once is at this time of war to make a particular effort. and he's very aware of public opinion also, the fact is that people are dying for ukraine. soldiers are fighting for ukraine, the public making lots of sacrifices on a daily basis. a really sense the wrong signal. if you have government ministers that are not playing their role, natasha, thanks for that. and natasha butler there in that keith,

thank you for that now. so let's say bring is andras allman inland who's from berlin. he's an analyst at to add the stock home center for eastern european studies of the swedish institute of international affairs and joints live now on skype and dress. so we have presidents lensky purging, some of those around him in the midst of war. i just wonder how will this be perceived internationally as a good thing, or will it be concern it's going on in the 1st place? well, it's in a way as sign that there is still a problem of corruption in ukraine, but it's also a sign for the fight against corruption. so it's an ambivalent signal that is now being sent and it has to do with the upcoming ukraine summit in keith on 3rd of february. and, and i think that will be more such and such signs from ukraine, designed to reassure best on partners both concerning the hope that ukraine is

getting and also concerning the e. u. earned candidacy for ukraine. the ukraine government is serious about the fight against corruption address. just hang on for a 2nd. i come back in a moment. just wanted to move the discussion onto this issue of of tanks and poland has formerly asked germany for permission to send his austell of jo. made leopard, thanks to ukraine. berlin has been under increasing pressure for being reluctant to approve delivery of the tanks by 3rd countries. at jeremy's defense minister says berlin hasn't changed his position, but will make a decision soon. have also to see. i have already encouraged partner countries that have lepper tanks for food, that operational to begin the training of ukrainian forces on these tanks. there is no question at all where this is possible and desired dive where we are not standing in the way it is. of course, we can only do this ourselves once we have made a decision on how to deal with the leper tanks and sidles so back to under as

homeland in berlin and address a jeremy now saying that they are actively looking at ponens request to send in the tanks, a given what has been said before, will that approval be forthcoming? do you think? i think it will be because poland has already threatened that did to will even deliver these tanks to ukraine. if germany does not respond positively to the request, which formerly probably would be a breach of an agreement at vin, poland, and germany concerning these german tanks in poland. so i expect as soon this a approval of the polish request and also approval of other requests from other countries that have leo part to tanks and, and are ready to deliver them to ukraine from germany. and then the 2nd decision will be actually whether germany itself we'll send tanks to ukraine,

which is the disputed issue in germany. where a part of the population is actually so far against that. get it. tell us about that. why that hesitancy, as far as germany itself is concerned. and do you think it will change course on that? and we'll eventually send in leopard tanks from germany itself. you know, it's difficult to explain this. a german hesitancy about half of the population are against delivering these battle tanks. heavy battle thanks to ukraine, although germany has already delivered other heavy weapons to ukraine and is already supporting ukraine. and that is also largely supported by the german population. but with regard to the tanks, we have now this somewhat paradoxical opposition both but in the elite and within the larger population. my hope is that as more and more is will be poor. come me

vision. heavy metal, thanks to ukraine. then also the german public opinion will change and also the german political elite will be more paulette say less ambivalent and about this so far. the 2nd, the signals as the statement that you quoted from historians are somewhat unclear what they actually mean. but that test a lot to do, but the ambivalence of the german population as well, which is afraid of being drawn into this war and that this will escalate them into a larger war between nato and ukraine. entrusted as far as the persia from president lensky within his government, a. is that going to influence the decision of countries in terms of setting tanks and do you think? yes, i think this is a part of the motivation for zalinski to do with it. although i think the major

issue is here, the you candidacy and the start of accession negotiations. the u. a has formulated 7 conditions for the the start of the accession negotiations, which largely are about the rule of law and the fight against corruption. and we have now this forthcoming summit, e, we ukraine, summit in ki, if on 3rd of february and probably these, these purges now are largely related to this, to the summit. all right, and we'll leave it there. thanks very much deeper feel, perspective, do appreciate that. and rosamond, a speaking just from berlin, thank you. thanks for him. lebanon's former prime minister husband has become the most senior official to be charged with the deadly beirut port lost in 2020. an investigation was reported on monday after more than a year. but the countries took prosecutor, who's also been charged, says approved should remain suspended, then

a harder reports now from barrett. it's been nearly 3 years since one of the most powerful blasts killed dozens and destroyed neighborhoods in the lebanese capital. the investigation into what caused the explosion has repeatedly been sold by political pressure. but a surprise decision by the lead to additional investigator, i thought it better has given back hope to the victims families. we are surprised by the decision. this is the decision and the same time or are happy because the not the norman from more than one year. the kitchen block. now, we have a little of hope that somebody some see is moving on. the lead judge has released a number of detainees and charged new officials and set dates for questioning and february among them. a heads of security bodies like major general abaz ibrahim and high ranking judges, including the prosecutor, general hudson away debt. it's the 1st in a country with a history of impunity,

but all indications point to the fact that the political and security establishment would cooperate, the public prosecutions response was swift. it rejected the implementation of guitars release and prosecution orders. once again, the establishment 19 to prevent the pursuit of justice. in the case of the last, we have seen government officials, the traditional official engaging any serious matter with the legal arguments that have made effectively thing blocking. the continuation of investigation and blocking. just as a political campaign against baton has been led by the group has been lost, who accuses him of bias. the judge has sought to question many of its allies, including a former prime minister, hassan dib, who has been charged with homicide with probable intent. the decision to resume the

investigation has started a legal debate. there was no court order, but judge guitar reinstated himself basing it on legal justification. he argued, a judicial investigator cannot be dismissed or removed and that his task ends was he issues and indictments in the case. families of victims haven't stopped their quest for answers and justice. they want to know who brought the ammonium nitrate to lebanon, and who unsafely stored it at the port. it may be a long way for that battle to be one that the resumption of the probe has already re ignited tensions. so they're always, you know, they route. now the lead is from latin american in caribbean states and meeting for the annual summit in argentina. the ongoing situation in peru is on top. the agenda . the group will also discuss ways to deepen ties economically, politically and culturally presenting. president silver is taking part of his country, rejoins the regional block. after high on the job, ball. sinatra,

the says pediatrician, both in one is there. is it? first of all, what we expect from the meeting today? well, there's a representative of 33 countries meeting here and when a site is among them, at least 15 heads of state coming from countries like bolivia like columbia, argentina, of course, and brazil's uli physician precedents. re scenario, you left him and they will be debating about development integration, but also the many challenges the region is facing today. the situations of countries in conflict like a rule, for example, or what happened just a few weeks ago in brazil with the attempt to take over the institutions by promos, tornado activist, in brazil. so all of this is the discussion, but it's interesting to know where this meeting is coming from. this lack was formed back in 2010 when there was a pink tide of center left and left. when the president,

in this part of the world that they got together in a way to counter the influence of the united states in the region to counter the influence of the organization of american states in this part of the world. and the big difference is that they owe a f, a countries like cuba are not part of it. while in this, it lacks cuba is a part of it. and in fact, the president of cuba is present here in when a site is right now doing the opening statements. president alba from and this referred to at the crisis affecting the caribbean and latin america in general with the challenges to democracy that exist in this party. today and how important it is to get together to try to defend democracy. the, for lack in a way lost some of its influence because of political shifts in the region, among other things. but at the same time that what, what people where the leaders here were just applauding, but come back on brazil back in 2019 a former president aid was when i do,

i announce that brazil receiving this. so we do not fall mostly because of the presence of cuba and venezuela. well, no love he left and now said brazil is coming back and many are hoping that this will revive the influence of the feel like not only in pushing back of it, many of the policies that the united states have been promoting in, in latin america for example sanctions against venezuela of the embargo. akins who cuba. so a lot of people was very clear. he said that the most important thing right now and not embargoes are sanctions that hurt the population, but dialogue and negotiations so that democracy can prevail. right. rosa, thanks for that said to rosa, bow at the some of the in one is her thanks a lot. there's a proof of their gender and bruised, bracing for more large scale protest. calling for the resignation of the president, deena polarity hundreds, marched through lima on monday, demanding new elections. mass rally is planned for tuesday. crisis began december

after the former president pedro castillo, tried to dissolve congress and was arrested. since then, nearly 50 people have been killed during violent protests. a blast in somalia is capital is injured at least 5 people. more to shells reportedly landed near the presidential palace in mogadishu. no one has claimed responsibility for the attack . it comes just 2 days after 5 civilians were killed when algebra fighters bombed and stormed, the mare's office. a human rights group has filed a criminal complaint in germany accusing men, most military of genocide. the group is called a fortify, right? it also accuses the military crimes against humanity in war crimes, over its crackdown or a hinge of muslims in 206-2017. security forces reportedly carried out mass rapes and murders during what authorities called a clearance operation. germany has a principle of universal jurisdiction. so what does that mean?

it's a legal concept that allows countries to investigate and prosecute crimes even if they were committed abroad. universal jurisdiction can only be used for serious international crimes, including genocide, terrorism and war crimes. the vast majority of countries recognized the principle of universal jurisdiction, which was codified in the 1949. geneva conventions by the smith is ahead of fortify rights and explained who the complainants are. and why this case is just so important. it's about half of the complainants in the case, survived the rank of genocide in 2016, 2017. in 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 diverse group of people putting their faith and hope in german authorities that they may achieve some measure of justice. the investigation at the international criminal court is very important, but that focuses narrowly on force. deportation is

a crime against humanity against 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, there is no individual criminal liability that will stem from those proceedings at the i c j to 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 more 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 mar, 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 cent allowed message to me and more military leader ship and soldiers that they are not safe from 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 to lead harold al jazeera view as gun laws in the spotlight altitude, mass shootings in 2 days in california. foreign relations, major trade sets are as you between china and australia after a 2 year long stand off the lincoln life going to be on the wills top surface at

one of the sports highest profile. ah hello. we have a strengthening storm for the u. s. gulf states and his i think the danger zone will extend from houston rate to new orleans. could see some tornadoes tuesday night into wednesday. certainly that will be our biggest threat here. tornadoes, flooding rain, and those winds whipping up to more than a 100 kilometers per hour, some serious snow for the southern plains as well that will extend into the great lakes, but for now fairly quiet conditions. but check out the 3 day forecast in toronto, wednesday to thursday, could pick up to 20 centimeters of snow as a weather alerts in play. already for how intense this could be. much quieter though for the west. a few showers here for bc's lower mainland that will plague

ah, and again, you're watching out 0 mind about top stories this hour and a report by the committee to protect journalists, joseph, 2022 was the deadliest here for media workers since 201867 journalists were killed including out 03, and i've worked with who was shot dead by israeli forces. he cranes, president says he's taking powerful steps to root out corruption. 5 regional governors have been dismissed. deputy defense minister has resigned fully in allegation the department over paid supplies for soldiers. food lebanon's, former prime minister, has cynthia been head of security. i was able to him are among several top officials being charged with deadly buried blasts in 2020 investigation was reopened. on monday, after more than a year, he was president joe biden is again called on congress to act quickly to put in

place an assault weapons. but this comes off to 7 people were killed in yet another mass shooting california. a separate gun attack in the state over the weekend left 11 people dead from los angeles, his rob reynolds to mass killings in as many days in the state of california police and half moon bay, south of san francisco. say the latest shootings happened in 2 separate locations. police were 1st dispatched to a mushroom farm. upon arrival, deputies located poor victims, deceased, with gunshot wound, victim also suffering from a gunshot wound, was transported to scamper medical center with life threatening injuries. soon after officers found 3 more people shot dead at a local trucking company, a san mateo county elected official said those killed were agricultural workers of chinese ethnicity. the suspected gunman went to a police station,

apparently to give himself up. video shows officers bringing him to the ground and putting him in handcuffs. police say they recovered a semi automatic weapon from his car. his motive is under investigation. through investigation, the suspect identified as chung lee's owl. as 67 year old half moon, they resident at $440.00 p n. zell was located in his vehicle in the parking lot of the sheriff's sub station here and half moon bay by a sheriff's deputy now was taken into custody. without incident, local officials responded with shock and outrage. in the end, there are simply too many guns in this country. and there has to be a change. this is not an acceptable way for modern society to live if we can darkness affairs. even as news of the latest mass shooting came in,

mourners gathered in monterey park near los angeles to remember the people killed in a rampage at a ballroom dancing studio. on saturday night. the 11th victim died in hospital on monday. both the suspected gunman and the victims in these mass shootings were of asian heritage. the united states is the only country where there are more civilian owned guns than people rob reynolds al jazeera, los angeles, israeli prime minister, benjamin netanyahu has met jordan's king abdullah, in a surprise, was it to a man? it comes as friction, grows between the neighbors of israel's far right government and the speak. now to him ran con, it's following the visit from occupied you through them and they were on tell us more about this visitor taking place at this time was the 1st visit to take place between the 2 key allies and leaders in nearly 4 years. and now it was an announce visit for security reasons that have really ever

say that the prime minister is actually leaving country going visiting with other arab leaders. but like i say this was the 1st visit off to for years. relations between jordan and israel have been at an all. ready a time low and that was reflected in the statement that was released to by the israeli saying that this visit. ready about economic and security corporations. however, the jordanians were a bit more forthright and very clear. they said that this visit was about the alex at most compound, a site of increased tension since the government was formed on january 5th has been a few incidence that taken place that of alarm the jordanians. the 1st one has been the visit of the national security, the minister, it's a more bang. they opened the far right and racist minister who actually visited the alexa most compound that drew international condemnation and put that put pressure on benjamin netanyahu. that the jordanian ambassador was actually stopped from

going in to the alexa mos compound by his railey police. he was eventually allowed in, but there was a a scuffle that took place that the jordanians saying that they don't need permission from these ready police to visit the site is already saying actually you do need permission. so the tensions have been high at the alex have most compound. that's the reason for this visit, say the jordanians, they are trying to maintain the status quo. you'll have this word a lot status quo. it basically means that there was an agreement in 1967 when a israel occupied jordanian territory all occupied easter islam. what happened then was the jordanians took the control of the alex a most command with these ladies were responsible for full security. that's been a source of faith that the source of friction ever since or maintain the status quo has always been what jordan has said. any thing that might break that including visits by key ministers to the compound,

suggest that this could be something that might change that status quo. so you'll hear that word a lot when it comes to jordanian and his writing relations and is likely to that's what was being discussed. whether there was any movement on that. whether benjamin netanyahu gave them assurances that he would do something about this. we don't know, they haven't released that statement, but there's also another aspect to this visit the last few weeks since the formation of the government. we've been talking about right wing m p 's much more than we have been talk. ready about benjamin netanyahu, and that's been noticed by israeli observes, and the international community who are wondering, who's actually in charge all this government, is it prime minister benjamin netanyahu? so this visit will also likely to be seen by israeli observers as benjamin netanyahu trying to read his thought, reassert his authority over his own government among thanks a bunch and went on reporting the lights back on across pakistan
