fall, california has experience no less than 10 such ones, rare phenomenon since january an impact of climate change and a probable trend to the future. war to scarcity has become a major global issue. the demand is going straight up and the supply is going straight down, turning in essential natural resources into a commodity traded for profit, just precaution, it's life. i mean, it cannot be priced. what about the guy that can't afford it? that guy told me it's water. al jazeera examines the social, financial and environmental impact of war to privatization notes. if water on al jazeera ah, playing pacemaker china's she, she pink visits moscow to promote his plan to end the war, new crime. ah,

until mccrae, this is al jazeera live from doha. also coming up, president putin funds back issuing criminal charges against the international criminal court. after i put out a warrant for his arrest, the push for pace and yemen gathers pies as boring sides reach an agreement. as for hundreds of prisoners, plus, humanity is on thin ice and there pisces melting fust, a strong morning from the you in chief urgent countries to do more of battle, climate change will face more extreme with or event. ah rushes president has told his chinese counterpart he is open to talks on beijing's plan to ends. the warn you cried she shing pang is visiting moscow for the 1st time

since the russian and asian. he and fled, amir potent hales, their historic close ties in the face of russia's isolation from most of the international community. how should marlboro reports? ah, this is a trip. china hopes would end war in ukraine. but it's a delicate mission for chinese president g jumping. she has repeatedly said his country is neutral in the conflict, but he is widely seen as a key ally and support of russian president vladimir, put in albany, trying to values the friendship between china and russia. this has historical logic because we are neighbors and to large countries. we're also strategic partners. such a position determines that we have a very close relationship with last month. china presented a peace plan to end the war in ukraine thinking. but while it calls fun and to unilateral sanctions against russia and a cease fire,

it makes no mention of russian troops withdrawing from ukrainian territory. president vladimir put in said russia is open to a political and diplomatic solution, whereas in community essentially blaring, you mean we have considered your proposals for settlement of the current crisis. of course, we will have an opportunity to discuss this. we know that you are basing this on principle of furnace and upholding the principle of the international law and divisible security for all countries. you also know that we're always open to negotiation, so we'll discuss all this issues, including your initiatives. we have been following his trip to moscow. president g jumping is likely to speak with your crania leader for the demur, zalinski for the 1st time since the start of the war. but ukraine has rejected calls for a ceasefire, while its territory is occupied by russian forces. badging also faces another challenge, convincing west to leaders who remain largely skeptical of its peace plan for

the united states said it was designed to deflect attention from china. support were put in washington has recently disclosed intelligence that china was considered in sending secret shipments of weapons to russia. and if that happens, the u. s. wars it may impose economic sanctions on badging. ash, my butter al jazeera journalist julia chaparral over has more on the meeting from moscow. this is, of course, present, should pay your 1st trip to moscow since the beginning of russia's special military operation in ukraine. he also said that he chose russia, his 1st destination after being re elected something. what he had done 10 years ago to the 2 leaders had informed me at the kremlin, the chinese president called him a page of his dear friend and reiterated that a close relationship that the 2 countries are now enjoying should continue. during

the meeting, we heard from him in person saying that he had carefully read china's plans for the ukrainian trying to settlements and the res room for discussion. and russia is always open for the k stations. and just to remind you that chinese peace plan has been presented around months ago prior to she's visit to the main program, michelle for tuesday. that so many expect that the conflicts in ukraine will talk dutch and it is now into 2nd year. and it doesn't show any signs of basing besides the cranium crisis, there will be other topics on the table. chinese number one, it can only cost no. russia in 2022. the tray turnover between the countries increased 30 percent. and we also see that g to the ukranian complex, russia has lost menu, but long time friends had partners and you to, to sanctions imposed in russia in connection with its military opperation, china's role, it has increased massively in terms of economy. it has become russia, laundry, can only partner and the largest consumer of russian, oil, gas,

and cold. so obviously, the russian chinese trade issues, as well as the corporation entities. and the military technical cooperation between the 2 countries are still to be discussed with the view from beijing. he is katrina you time is trying to capitalize on the mention of its successful brokering piece between saudi arabia and iran. and she thing is really looking at this visit, other than strengthening which led him a fusion as no pets unity to project. as a global calla, as a peace maker. she wants to get the attention, particularly of countries that have from the developing world you might be a bit tied to seeing the u. s. constantly as a leader, and might be more open to china as an alternative. now we've seen these opening shot closing trees, and this chassis between dive in houston and she didn't came i think when it comes to do underestimate the importance of the personal report between these 2 leaders.

10 years ago, more than 10 years ago now. and president, she didn't became the leader of china, russia, the countries you visited. and he said at the time that he was holding a new chapter in moscow, paging time. and now we've had the 2 leaders meet more than 40 times. this is present and she didn't being lifetime in moscow. vladimir putin last time and made a ice cream birthday cake, prison. she didn't think he treated himself the said that she didn't pay the only state leader that he's celebration his own birthday with. i think what really crucially ties these 2 together, it's not just the fact that they're from russia and china because those 2 countries have had really complicated history. what i think is most important here is this piece. these 2 leaders had authoritarian countries. they have a strong leadership to have both figured out ways to manipulate the system so that

they can be leaders basically for the rest of their life. and the important thing that we need to watch out as men would need to know music that these to show a world view. and that is that they don't believe that the world should be led by the us and other western democracies. they don't think that the world all day use them and that it's all because it was basically they would like to see their own country, their own style of governance or those systems with the united states however, has dismiss china's attempt. it's brokering in, in to the conflict and you cried. the world should not be fooled by any tactical move by russia, supported by china or any other country to freeze the war on its own terms. such a move would violate the you and charter and delay. i defy, excuse me, the will of a 141 countries who have condemned brushes war in the united nations general assembly one party to this conflict. ukraine has already put forward

a just peace formula. if china is committed to supporting an end to the war based on the principles of the un charter, as called for in point one of his plan, it can engage with presence lensky and ukraine on the basis. and use its influence to compel moscow to pull back its forces. 17 european union nations plus norway have signed a long term deal to buy ammunition for ukraine and increase their own stock piles. the european defense agency agreements covers multiple ammunition types and will last specific years. the 1st 2 years of the deal will fast track 155 millimeter heavy artillery rounds. will ukraine says an explosion in russian and ex crimea has destroyed a case of russian cruise missiles had happened in june coy and the north of the peninsula. the ukrainian defense ministry said the missiles are being transported via riled. the russian installed head of the region said it offence systems had

been activated. he reported at least one person was injured in the house was damaged with elko, the russia has opened its own criminal investigation into the international criminal court prosecutor inches. it's after the court issued an arrest forum of prison fled to me, person over the ledge, deportation of children from ukraine to russia. showing how reports 40 countries fewer than a 3rd of all signatories to the international criminal court gathered in london, affirming their support of the courts work in ukraine. the journey towards international justice will be long, its scope vast, and these mainly western members of the court have pledged money and resources to the cause and that we share the belief that president putin and the wider leadership must be held to account. and it's absolutely vital that we unite behind the i c. c. and that we support the office of the prosecutor with whatever it needs appealing for support. the i ccs chief prosecutor said the very concept of

international justice was at stake. if we don't, at this moment in world affairs cling to the law. if we don't look at ourselves and decide how we can do better, not just in ukraine, but as nations as member states of the united nations. we will not only miss an opportunity, but we may not have further opportunities. hi, on everyone's agenda was the 1st major step on that journey arrest warrants issued last week for russian president vladimir putin. and his children's rights commissioner charged with the illegal deportation of ukrainian children. russia's response a day off, the president putin, to the ukrainian city of mary paul now. and the russian occupation was to issue criminal charges against the icpc itself for ignoring kootenai immunity as head of state under international law. so the chief prosecutor of the icpc kareem khan has urged countries here to find the stamina to deliver international justice. but the

real test of that stamina will not be in pledges made at conferences like these, but in countries signed up to the i. c. c, recognizing their obligation to deliver on its orders in the name of international justice like south africa, a signatory to the i. c. c, which failed to arrest su dan's oma hassan alba here on an icpc warrant. when he visited the country in 2015, our president, putin is due there for a summit in august. and the south african presidency says it is aware of its legal obligations. mister putin may have to rethink his plans. now, a wanted man in the international criminal court quest for justice jonah whole al jazeera london, the russian president has pledged to supply free grain to african countries if a deal allowing the export of grind from ukraine falls apart. on saturday, russia agreed to renew the so called black sea deal for 60 days,

but along with to kia and the you when he wanted to extend it for 120 days. the agreement was reached last year to combat a global 3rd crisis caused by the war and ukraine. and u. u. n. report says the world must to slash carbon pollution by 2 thirds by 2035. if it wants to avoid climate catastrophe, it is the window of opportunity to beat climate change is closing fast and extreme weather events will only get worse unless the world ex. now, our environment is an at clark explains. in every country on every continent, the climate emergency is taking hold. this is milan away, hundreds dead, hundreds of thousands displays the cause. a record breaking cycling on the other side of the world in argentina, endless brutal heat compounding and drowns with farmers facing losses. estimated at $14000000000.00. so now we have this latest call to arms from the united nations

with what should become the fundamental policy document for shaping climate action . it is the distillation of years of work by hundreds of scientists. and these are the key points in the past decade that had been 15 times more deaths from drowns, floods and storms and more vulnerable regions, carbon emissions, they need to drop and rapidly. in fact, they need to cut by almost half in just 7 years. if global warming is to be limited to one and a half degrees celsius baths a rapid and far reaching transition could pull us back from the brink. and to help do that, developed countries need to stump up hundreds of billions of dollars every year to vulnerable nations. something they've so far failed to do whether or not swelled leaders with that is another matter. it's not as if there weren't warnings long ago . and this was for man, nasa climate scientists, james hanson way back in 1988. altogether. this evidence represents

a very strong case in my opinion that the greenhouse effect has been detected and it is changing our climate now. well, as we now know, the well didn't listen 35 years on fossil fuel emissions continued to increase along with colossal profits for the oil, johns, and temperatures. yes, of course, they're going up to and now say the experts once and for all, we need to act before that window of opportunity slam shut. will you in secretary general, antonio gutierrez says the climate time bombers ticking and is urging wealthy nations to slash their emissions sooner. humanity is on thin ice and their pisces melting fast. as to this report of intergovernmental panel on climate change, i, b, c, c, the, those humans are responsible for virtually all global heating over the last 200 years. the rate of temperature rise in the last half century is the highest in 2000

years. concentrations of carbon dioxide at, at their highest, in at least 2000000. here's the climate time bomb is ticking. but these i pcc report is a how to guide to the fuse, the climate time bomb. it is a survival guides for humanity was still ahead on al jazeera, new york city time and security. as the district attorney investigates, donald trump alleged hush money payments to oppose ah frank assessments just just means to give them the basic human rights. not only in the camp, but also inside the map, informed opinions 5 administration are very concerned about this development especially, or what it means for china's power on the world states. critical debate are only both the legal report what they see,

the 3 i think that you're going to progress in depth analysis of the days headlines inside story on al jazeera, on counting the cost will borton's new plan to bring people back into the workforce help boost economic growth. good. the glad to silicon valley bank mino rethink on interest. right. plus australia wants to create a new fleet of nuclear power. sub flooring. had a massive price. counting the cost on al jazeera ah, ah . al jazeera. with down to the pit a

ah, you're watching, you'll just hear a reminder of our stories. the sour russian president vladimir putin has told his chinese counterpart that he's open to discussing beijing's plan to end the war in ukraine. prison and she's paying is on her 1st visit to moscow since the russian invasion and you, you, in report says the world must flesh carbon pollution by 2 thirds by 2035. if it wants to avoid climate catastrophe. the un secretary general has also called on rich countries to quit cold oil and gas by 2040 boring sides and game and have agreed to free almost 900 prisoners. the internationally recognized government and who the rebels have been and talks in switzerland on the exchange of thousands

of detainees. as part of the you in media deal agreed upon back in 2018. the conflict in human has been widely seen as a proxy war between saudi arabia and rom, who restored a diplomatic relations earlier this month. we have a level of trust with all the parties involved in this release. we have this unique partnership with the un in yemen, and i have no reason to believe that it will be a success and a success which needs to happen as soon as possible because we all know that my dad is coming and i think we can't lose a single day to have those detainees, united comedies. well, gerald firestone is direct to the gulf of faith and government relations of the middle east institute. he once served as the us ambassador to him, and he joined us from washington d. c. thank you very much for being on al jazeera physical. this is obviously a positive stair post,

if in the right direction. but can you just explain how significant it is? it's a pleasure to be with you today and, and of course, as your report said, a ramadan is around the corner. i think that the willingness of the 2 parties to actually release detainees at this time is very important. it will be a morale booster for many enemies around around the country. and so from that aspect it's, it's a positive sign. and the time that you're releasing detainees is a good thing. that key, of course, will be the implementation because we've seen these agreements struck in the past or that have not been fully implemented. do you have confidence that it will be implemented? well, not really. i think that the track record to these have established over these

past many years and says enough to give us cause about their willingness to actually follow through on the commitments that they've made it. well, what do you think will be the next step in continuing to hopefully de escalate this conflict? well, i think that the key here is to focus on the reality that this is an internal conflict within the m, and that any resolution, any progress in establishing a comprehensive end to the conflict really requires agreement among the emmys themselves. a lot of people are looking at the saudi, iranian, or agreement as of perhaps an important step or saudi arabia who these have been talking for some time. and there have been some progress there. but those things are not critical to resolve in the real meat of the matter, which is the disagreement among the yemenis themselves about the way forward for

their country. as you mentioned, you know, this obviously comes as saudi arabia and iran rios and diplomatic ties. and the last week or so, i mean, truly that's not a coincidence that this persists what was happening at the same time. well, i think that again, the fact that the saudis and the iranians have agreed to send a masters to their respective capitals is a positive thing. if the iranians indeed are willing to add their voice to those in the international community that are urgent. who teased to and this conflict and to come back to the negotiating table with the internationally recognized government. that's a positive thing. but the hoodies have also been very clear and saying that they are not bound by any, any the obligation that they owe to the iranians who is,

will make their own decisions. and up until now, they have not been willing to make the decision to, to resolve the conflict and establish a negotiated solution. can you just give us an idea of where the conflict is now? i believe there was a truth that that expired and not so long ago. yes, it's true. in fact, we're coming up almost to the 1st anniversary of the ceasefire. the truth that was established at the beginning of ramadan and last year that was on april 2nd. it was renewed 3 times subsequent to that and june and then again in august when it came up for renewal again in october of last year, who, ts declined to agree to an extension and instead put on the table number new demands. so the agreement expired. it does

are a october 2nd of last year, but the reality is that the full scale fighting has not resumed. there is continued conflict around the country. well, we haven't seen the level of fighting that we have seen before. ok, we'll have to leave it there. thank you so much for your time. that is gerald fasting to rick difficult affairs and government relations in the middle east. to thanks for being on al jazeera pressure, a u. s. a worker and a french journalist who were kidnapped by the groups in west africa have been released. i'd work jeffrey wood was kidnapped and nadia and held hostage for more than 6 years. and journalist sylvia dubois was taken in neighboring molly and 2021 . officials say the circumstances surrounding the 2 men's relief and not clear. israel's ultra nationalist finance minister has sparked a fierce backlash off the thing. there's no such thing as palestinian people had

a conference in paris on sunday, disallow small church claimed that palestinian people are quote, invention of the past century palestinian prime minister says the comments are an incitement to violence. a you foreign policy. chief joseph burrell has urged israel to disregard the comments will place in new york, a tightening security, as the city prices for possible criminal charges to be filed against donald trump. the former us president, posted on social media that he expects to be arrested this week. it's in connection with alleged hush, many payments made to adult films, dan stormy daniel's, by his former landmark cohen trump, has called on his supporters to protest. gabriel alexander has more from new york. this is the center of the political world right now, at least here in the united states were in this court house behind me here in new york city. there is a grand jury that we believe is in the final stages of making

a decision if they will bring a criminal indictment against donald trump. if they do, it would mean trump is the 1st president ever in us history to face criminal prosecution. the manhattan district attorney has been investigating trump for several years. the case revolves around stormy daniels, a former adult film star, who claims she had an affair with trump and threat to take her story public right before the 2016 election. knowing that the embarrassing claim could derail his presidential campaign. trump allegedly had his then fixer michael cohen kaye daniels, $130000.00 to keep quiet. but as part of that payment, the grand jury is investigating if whether trump also falsified business records, which would be a felony. police in new york have stepped up security. trump denies all wrong doing

. but his called for his supporters to take to the streets in protest should he be indicted. as a potential indictment looms, media attention has increased its indicted. trump would need to turn himself in. and the spectre of a former president walking into a court house to surrender to authorities is something that would have never been seen before in us history. it's important to point out that even if trump is indicted, it does not necessarily mean that he is guilty. if he's indicted, it would go to a jury trial and it would be those jurors that would ultimately decide if he's guilty or not guilty of the crimes. he is accused of. now if he is found guilty during a later trial, the prison term could be up to 4 years in jail, but there is no mandatory prison required. and most independent analysts say

it's highly unlikely that trump would ever serve any time in jail. for this case, gabriel is on our new york. the government is free french president, manuel micron has narrowly survived to no confidence votes and parliament over its controversial pension reforms. first fell just 9 votes, short of the number needed to bring down the government admins. the bill, raising the retirement age from 62 to 64, has been adopted by the law house, the results bank protests and several cities. that's all for me, tom mccrae for now the news continues here on al jazeera after inside story, which is coming up next. ah hello, we've got some right in the forecasts for southern japan over the next couple days

is not too bad at the moment because we have high pressure and charges not too far away is to slipping away though we are going to see some thick clouds coming across central parts of china that'll run across sir shanghai. pushing over towards key issues. southern parts of honju in the rain will set in for a time. i think for most it will be fine to try 18 celsius in tokyo state to the north of that line. of rain, 21 there in sol. tabs is getting up to round 19 in beijing. a light coming off a touch as we go on into a wednesday cause a little bit weather just coming into the far northeast of china, brightest guys for much of japan, but stain dull and cloudy for central and southern areas of china. not to media clouds, not timothy showers across indo china. having said that, it's dry and bright, and the same is true of the philippines over the next. there's a body, i will see some lively showers, much of malaysia, indonesia. we'll see some wet weather as we go on through the coming days. the usual heat of the day downpours, of course. now

a season where we're making its way across the place of in the air, up towards the foothills of the himalayas. more heavy showers. well guess, bells afraid sliding through here they will roll across. good powder bag dash to the north easter ah. the iraq, a nation riddled with land mikes and an expert dedicated to defusing them, one by one. equipped with only a knife and a pair of wire parties, he faces death every day but does his work make him a hero or a target witness? the d minor on al jazeera now or never the you.
