7:01 pm
with allegations of war crimes in ukraine. ah, hello there, i'm miss dorothy attain. this is out there at live from doha will. so coming up, the turkish president says he will back finland has been to join nato. but sweden's membership is still on a coach and pakistan grants, former prime minister and run con protective bail, which means you will not face arrest on terrorism charges for at least 10 days. and children left without families or homes. we were bought from a makeshift cap for those displaced by last week storm in milan. ah, well, we begin with breaking news on the international criminal court in the hague has issued an arrest warrant for russian president vladimir putin. the i c. c says that the warrant is in connection with allegations of war crimes and ukraine. the court
7:02 pm
has also issued a warrant to arrest maria above or below van. she is russia's presidential commission of children's rights. moscow has repeatedly denied accusations of atrocities during the one near conflict. to date, 17th of march, 2023. the international criminal court as issued to warrants of arrest in the eucharist tuition for vladimir putin, president of the russian federation. and for my yellow va, been of a commissioner of the rush of presents from church and side for the alleged war. crabs of deforestation of children from ukrainian occupied territories entered the russia physician. the judges f reviewed the formation and evidence submitted by the prosecutor and determined that the debt are credible allegation against dees persons for the alleged crimes who has heard. however, latter get us james basie who is at the united nations 4th. james, we knew that this was potentially in the web. can you talk us through the
7:03 pm
significance of these one is very, very significant. yes, we knew it was in the works. we knew that the prosecutor of the international, a criminal court, kareem khan, had got a team. he was working with the ukranian, prosecutors as well to try and look at various cases involving ukraine. and it's worth saying, this is about children that have been moved from ukraine to russia. that part of the file, but there are other parts of the file that is still being looked through. and it's quite possible, i think that they'll be other arrest warrants, other cases, other charges in relation to the war in ukraine at. but now you have the head of state of russia, a permanent member of the un security council who is now a wanted man by the international criminal court. now this is going to be
7:04 pm
a headache. i think for some of those are that are going to have to deal with president putin. how are other countries going to deal with him out? we know that in the past, i think the good case is with omar bashir, the former president of sudan, that's the one that i think is worth referencing. because he had an arrest warrant with him from the international criminal court back in 2009, and still he was able to travel to some countries. there were other countries that said if he arrived in on their soil, then they'd arrest him straight away. and sent him to the hague, but he was able to travel to other countries which basically ignored the arrest warrant from the i c. c. so how will countries that deal with president putin? how will they respond to this? will president putin be able to travel? look, i think, to a summit taking place in india or the shanghai cooperation organization summit that's taking place in a few months time in may or india is not
7:05 pm
a signatory to the rome statute. the governs the international criminal court. will they let president putin come out to india for that summit? india also happens to be the host of the g 20. now president putin decided not to go to the last g 20 in indonesia and barley last year. but normally he attends that gathering. if he attends that gathering in india in september this year, or will he be able to or will he be arrested? we also have the bricks, group of countries that they have their summit in south africa this year in august, a big headache, i think, for south africa, also a headache for the united nations. what does the secretary general do throughout the war in ukraine? he's engaged with the russian federation. he's even been to moscow and met president putin. will the un now meet a man who is wanted within the rest warrant for him to be sent to the hague. it's
7:06 pm
a big question, and i think although there are many, and i was just speaking to an official from human rights watch. i'm the human rights organization. he said it was a great day for the victims of the war in ukraine for the my many also questioning whether this also is a problem for the diplomacy going forwards or pertinent. obviously i had a st. james, but i know the, i think the as you referenced, has already fads in the past doesn't provide any kind of immunity. obviously it doesn't provide any, any immunity. but remember, not all the countries in the world assigned up to the international criminal court and the rome statute that governs it. russia is not one of them. so there's no way russia. president putin has pretty total control of how things operate. there's no way that russia is going to extradite president putin. he's pretty safe. i think if he stays on russian soil, the question is whether he travels anywhere else. and also i think how other countries now deal with him president,
7:07 pm
she of china is going to moscow in the coming days. i don't think it will impact that visit, but it's it puts a different spin on things president, she is not now just meeting the head of state of the russian federation. he's meeting a man who's wanted by the international criminal court and has an arrest warrant and the international criminal court say he needs to be arrested as soon as possible and sent to his cell in the hey to await a wait trial. indeed, plenty of potential more divisions ahead dramatic into the james space. that's been to us from the u. n. thank you so much, james. well, let's now get the perspective from ukraine and speak to stephanie deca. she's and keith. steph, i see this is unsurprising. the being hail bit into absolutely, we've had reactions and particularly from the ukranian prosecutor general, very much involved in this. i'm giving evidence and paperwork directly to the i. c . c. hailing this,
7:08 pm
saying that over $16000.00 children cases they have investigating and believing there would be much more and saying this was the beginning, perhaps a of some form of accountability. you've had also the head of the presidential office saying this is just the beginning and other advisor to the president's office. ha, i highlighting the legal procedures that are now in place. and basically saying that russians officials to the highest level will now be held to account and that the world has changed. not surprising, of course, at this is being huge. you welcome do key. it's hugely significant. the label now put on the head of the, of the brush and president, a restaurant from the i. c. c, potentially war crimes, a potentially crimes against humanity you heard from james. there 2 cases, 2 files at the icy c. as opened. there could be much more the to that this has to deal with the deliberate targeting of civilian infrastructure. and also the mass abduction of children. is that these lawrence, as you alluded to, there is i'll relate specifically to the treatment of children being taken across
7:09 pm
the border to russia. what's now happened to them that's right, with as various routes that this of taken from what we understand several investigations. you either had children that were separated from their families, particularly in areas the rock, russia had occupied here and in ukraine taken to russia, adopted by families and also taken into state institutions have been investigations where you can see these children's learning, russian singing, the russian national anthem, a cases of adoption within families, some investigation showed them quite happy. other investigations say that the children remember their parents, but don't have any way of contacting them. russia has maintained that they do this under the guise of humanitarian rescue. also, a lot of children taken from state institutions here in ukraine, orphanages, particularly in the areas of conflict and areas again, that russian occupied so ordered this could amount to war crimes. now under
7:10 pm
investigation and also the 2nd file on the table is about the targeting of civilian infrastructure of urban areas of hospitals, of schools, of the electricity grid of power plants just about over week ago, here in keyed where life feels pretty much back to normal. you also had targeting of the power plant, which happens, you know, almost on a monthly, maybe more so bases these days in different cities as russia continues to try and bring down the civilian infrastructure. so now a very significant that the i, c, c is highlighting these particular 2 issues and putting in a restaurant out for president putin and his assistant who is in charge of the case of children, stephanie deck of that with all the latest reaction for us from ukraine. thank you so much, steph. well, let's get the russian perspective and bring in journalist julia ship of 11. she is speaking to us from moscow. yearly. i see russia is holding found that it just doesn't recognize the court. well, we are having an immediate reaction from it. maria is the higher at the moment. who
7:11 pm
is data? foreign ministry sparks person to the news about their restaurants for pigeon, about below the. and she says that the decisions of the international criminal court have no significance for russia from a legal point of view. russia is noted positively rose statute of the international criminal court. and has no obligations them. russia does not cooperate with disability and possible recipes as she who said for arrest coming from the international court of justice or the i c. c will mean nothing legally for us as she says, i'm done. actually earlier this week, chris spokesman and me trip hescol also said that russia didn't recognize the international criminal court undone and its jurisdiction. and he said that we do not recognize the court. i'm going to not recognize the jurisdiction at this court
7:12 pm
under actually those were his words. i actually know there was the reaction to the new york times the article in the new york times that actually festa mentioned that the i c. c intends to launch 2 case against russia. so the 1st one, of course, as we say, you discussed about suspicions of kidnapping, ukrainian children and transporting them to russia. and the 2nd one is about the deliberate attempts on civilian infrastructure. and there is no information about the backend, there were no, no information, the list of those keys. now we know them as the russian foreign ministry, also called fools accusations of forcible removal of mine is from ukrainian territory, as well as the russian defense ministry said that it was striking only as military infrastructure and related to the energy facilities. and obviously it were who ukraine
7:13 pm
a lawsuit against the russian federation to the international court of justice. and now we see what's going on at the moment. just just to mention a few years ago, ukraine recognized the traditional b. c. c over crime committed on territory. and right now we know that 42 i c c members have on the organizations to investigate. that means that the crime committed during the russian special ministry operation in ukraine or within the competence of the court. but quite obvious that if we talk about russia, ty, writing official, it will be hard to bring them to justice because the court kind of process cases sense. yeah. so the trials, well are going to be pretty, pretty hot, say, probably say to process, you'll yes, approval over there speaking to us with moss from moscow, with the russian perspective. thank you so much. judy. now meeting on and turkish
