he is doing it, you can do it, no matter how he possibly looks. it putting the effort to put in the lock and you also have to be patient with me. i am the captain, a team in kenya and more so the assistant coach. we are the only ice okey team in eastern central africa. we as the ice francois guessing pretty well, we had managed to play in some international games. then when we came in, the extreme was closed. and it's the only ice rink in the country. ah powerful friends, china's choosing, paying visits moscow and promotes his plan to end the war in ukraine. ah,

cyril van. yeah, it's great to have you with us. this is al jazeera life from doha. also coming up today, former u. s. president donald trump facing legal trouble. as new york's district attorney investigates, alleged hush money payments. the push for peace in yemen gathers pace as warring sides regional reach, an agreement to swap hundreds of prisoners. humanity is on thin ice and that ice is melting fast. a strong warning from the un chief urging countries to do more to battle climate change or face more extreme weather events. ah, the russia's president has told his chinese counterpart that he is open to talks on beijing's plan to end the you with a war and ukraine. choosing ping is visiting moscow for the 1st time since the russian invasion. he and vladimir putin hale that there are historic,

close ties in the face of russia, isolation from most of the international community. ashley, my hell bar 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's widely seen as a key ally and support of russian president vladimir, put in all buildings 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 determined that we have a very close relationship with last month. china presented a peace plan to end the war in ukraine. but while it calls fun and to unilateral sanctions against russia and a ceasefire, 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 was increments especially privileging him if 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, indivisible, security for all countries. you also know that we're always open to negotiations. we'll discuss all these issues, including who initiative. we'd use the principles following his trip to moscow. president g jumping is likely to speak with ukrainian 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 for 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. was it may impose economic sanctions on badging. ash, my brother al jazeera, a journalist jojo shoppable over reports on the meeting from moscow. this is, of course, present pay his 1st trip to moscow since the beginning of russia's special military operation in ukraine. he also said that he chose russia and his 1st destination after being re elected something. what he had done 10 years ago to the 2 leaders had an informal meeting at the kremlin. the chinese president called him a page of his dear friend and reiterated at a close relationship that the 2 countries and enjoying should continue. during the meeting, we heard from jimmy pruitt and saying that he had carefully read china's plans for

the ukrainian price settlement. and the re, room for discussion and russia is always open for vacations. and just to remind you that chinese please plan has been presented around months ago prior to she's visit to moscow. the main program, michelle for for tuesday that so many expect, but the conflict in ukraine will talk denture, and it is now into the 2nd year and it doesn't show any signs of the basic besides the cranium crisis, there will be other topics on the table. chinese number one, it can only talk, 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 a menu of it's long time friends had partners and due to the sanctions imposed in russia in connection with its military opperation, china as well. 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. now here's 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 his toys with blood and the fusion as no pets unity to project as a global calla, as a heat maker. she didn't want to get the attention to differently of countries to have from the developing world. you might be a bit tied to seeing us constantly as a leader and might be more open to china as an alternative. now we've seen these opening shot pleasant trees in this chassis between got in houston and she didn't came. i think when it comes to do politics underestimate the importance of the personal report between these 2 leaders. 10 years ago,

more than 10 years ago now and president, she did thing became the leader of china. russia was the country he 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 a made a ice cream birthday cake prison. she didn't preach and himself the said that she did previously on the state leader that he's celebration his own birthday. 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 histories. what i think is most important here is this piece, these 2 leaders of the head of carrion countries. they have a strong leadership, they have both figured out ways to manipulate the system so that they can be meters basically for the rest of their life. and the important thing that we need to watch

out as men would be to know me to do 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 kind of world order to them and that in other countries, basically they would like to see their own country's, their own style of governance or their own systems of governance become more permanent. the united states, however, has dismissed twice as attempted, brokering an end to the conflict in ukraine. 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 violate the un charter, and delay defy, excuse me, the will of 141 countries who have condemned brushes, war and 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 enter the war based on the principles of the charter, as called for in point, one of this plan can engage with presence lensky and ukraine on the basis. and use its influence to compel moscow to pull back its forces. ukraine says an explosion in russian annexed crimea, has destroyed a cache of russian cruise missiles. it happened engine coy in the north of the peninsula. ukrainian defense ministry said the missiles were being transported, be irell. the russian installed the head of the region said air defense systems have been activated. you reported at least one person when it was injured. and a house damaged. the russian president has pledged to supply free grain to african countries if a deal allowing the export of grain from ukraine falls apart. on saturday, russia agreed to renew the so called black sea deal for 2 months. but along with turkey and the un keep wanted to extend it for 4 months, the agreement was reached last year to combat a global food crisis caused by the war in ukraine. south korea is banning the

export of items linked to north korea, satellite development program. the foreign ministry has put $77.00 items on a watch list, including solar cells and gps technology. joan yang says it plans to launch a military reconnaissance satellite into orbit. last week, north korea launched an intercontinental ballistic missile the latest in a series of weapons tests. elise in new york or tightening security as the city braces, the 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. this in connection with alleged hush money payments made to adult film star stormy daniels by his former lawyer, michael cohen, from us called on his supporters to protest. gabriel elizondo has more on this from new york. this is the center of the political world right now, at least here in the united states. we're 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 threatened 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 immediate 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. they 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's hondo al jazeera new york and you, you and report says the world must slash carbon pollution by 2 thirds by 2035. if it wants to avoid climate catastrophe, it says the window of opportunity to beat climate change is closing fast. our environment editor nick clark explains in every country on every continent, the climate emergency is taking hold. this is malawi, hundreds dead, hundreds of thousands displaced. the cause a record breaking cycling on the other side of the world in argentina. endless brutal heat compounding a droughts 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 droughts, 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, develop 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 were that is another matter. it's not as if there weren't warnings long ago . and this was for my 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 giants 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. un secretary general, antonio gutierrez says the climate time bomb is ticking and is urging wealthy nations to slash their emissions sooner. humanity is on thin ice and their pisces melting fast. as still as report of intergovernmental panel on climate change might be 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 are 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. still ahead on al jazeera ah anger over the rising cost of living spills on the streets in kenya and the government. the french president demanded macklin faces a no confidence votes. days after it pushes through unpopular pension. ah oh it's looking nice as spring like across the east, the side of the u. s. eastern parts of canada. not very too badly either. i was to was a west. there is a different story. winter is clinging on grimly here we got more cloud piling in

watching al jazeera reminder of our headlines this, our russian president vladimir putin has told his chinese counterpart he is open to discussing beijing's plan to end the war. and ukraine. president shooting thing is on his 1st visit to moscow since the russian invasion. meanwhile, japan's prime minister from yoko shita is on his way to keep to meet with ukrainian president olivia mir's, who has a south korea is banning the exports of items linked to north korea. satellite development program, including gps technology. young yang has said it plans to put a military recognizance satellites to orbit and you had a report says the world must slash carbon pollution by 2 thirds by 2035. it wants to avoid climate catastrophe. the un secretary general has also called on the rich countries to quit coal, oil and gas. by 2040 a. russia has opened its own criminal investigation into the international criminal court prosecutor and judges. this after the court

issued an arrest warrant for president vladimir putin, over the alleged deportation of children from ukraine to russia. jona, hull reports, 40 countries fewer than a 3rd of all signatories to the international criminal court gathered in london affirming their support of the coursework and 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 that we share the belief that president putin and the wider leadership must be held to account. and it's absolutely vital that we are night behind the i c c. and that we support the office of the prosecutor with whatever it needs appealing for support. the i. c, c's 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. high 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 coatings. immunity is head of state under international law. so the chief prosecutor of the i c. c. 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 each 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 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, a warring sides and yemen have agreed to free almost $900.00 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 a un mediated deal agreed upon back in 2018. the conflict in yemen has been widely seen as a proxy war between saudi arabia and iran, who as it happens, restore diplomatic relations this month. gerald fire stein as

a former us ambassador at the yemen, and he says the prisoner released could be an important step in efforts to end the conflict i. it will be a morale booster for our many emmys around around the country. and so, from that aspect it's, it's a positive sign, any time that you're releasing your detainees as a good thing. the key, of course, will be the implementation because we've seen these agreements struck in the past, or that have not been fully implemented. any resolution, any progress in establishing a comprehensive end to the conflict, or 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 either or saudi arabia who these have been talking for some time. and there have been some progress there. but those things are not critical. i to resolve in the real meat of the matter,

which is the disagreement among the yemenis themselves about the way forward for their country. if the iranians indeed are willing to add their voice to those in the international community that are urgent. who tease, to end this conflict and to come back to the negotiating table with the internationally recognized government. that's a positive thing about the who does have also been very clear and saying that they are not bound by any obligation that they owe to the iranians. who it is, will make their own decisions and up until now or they have not been willing to make the decision. i to, to resolve the conflict and establish a negotiated solution in kenya, opposition, leader, relo dingo has vowed the whole weekly protests in the capital nairobi he joined

thousands of supporters demonstrating against the rising cost of living and fuel shortages. catherine sawyer reports from nairobi, a position leader i loading guy, and he supported in narrow view, trying to find their way to the city center, protested. we're heading to the president's office and state house. they did not get far. this is a protest against the rising cost of basic commodities, inflation, taxes, and electro reforms in opposition. areas like this, one, police were prepared the cordoned off all roads, but that did not stop that demonstrate has several people were arrested including politicians. the protesters are saying they will not give up until their demands are met, their calling this revelation is almost over. life is hard. the economy is doing badly,

busy commodity prices of skyrocket. the president said he would reduce prizes in the foster 100 days, but he has not done. gotcha. i'll, when i said about, we give president william brutal the mandate through what we thought he will make things easier. we woke up ali to go vote for him and the next time i might not even bother to go over with him. de la a dingus says the protest us across the country will continue his organized similar ones. over the years. in 2018, he organized demonstrations. 4 months after i disputed election in 2017, that election was warned by former president who can yetta kenyata yielded to opposition, demands and made a political choose of. they became difficult to run the government. now the protesters and their leaders say, this is not the end, and they won't stop until president william router and his government listen to what they're saying. catherine saw all the 0 nairobi,

a thailand's king has dissolved parliament paving the way for a general election in may. a vote is expected to be a battle between the billionaire shabbat family and the pro military establishment . tony chang reports from from bori clear skies and smooth waters. it's been a relatively quiet period anti politics. but as those enjoying a sunny weekend on the beach, no. this could be the calm before the storm. a general election is now set for me and mark up. this is a very important election. now. it is a chance for us to get a new administration because people have been suffering. ha, ha, ha ha. our folks are important because we are the people we are part of this nation . so it's all right. the generals who've ruled thailand since the military coup, 9 years ago, may look like they have everything under control. a military appointed up a house and a constitution that they put in place both favor their parties are but the blame

for a poorly managed pandemic. the rising cost of living has fallen on their shoulders . when a protest tried to question the prime minister at a recent rally, she was hustled out of sight, but they still need boots, and the long arm of military control may no longer be enough. the system is gamed as rick this no doubt, however, ah, this election in 2023. the 2023 lessons are, is still the most consequence, consequential or of elections in thailand's contemporary political history. and no one is wasting any time in getting their campaigns on the way the election date hasn't even been decided yet. and still in one of the houses are people who are attending political rallies all over the country. ties, williams, a very good get back into the polling booth with this early stage per ty seems to be ahead in the race with opinion polls suggesting it might went up to 50 percent

of the vote. part is aligned to ousted prime minister attacks, and shin was the one the popular vote every year since 2001. but they haven't been in power for nearly a decade. this year, the sion, what name is back on the ballot. his daughter is in the running prime minister. oh, we did. oh, do you think will you take that you will let you take care of you when? oh, we have, we have a good time. politics is political and complicated. and success at the ballot box might not be enough. tony ching, out a 0 chambery eastern time, and the government of french president demanded mccoy has narrowly survived to no confidence votes in parliament over its controversial pension reform. the 1st vote fell just 9 votes, short of the number needed to bring down the government. it means the bill,

raising the retirement age from 60 to 62 to 64 in france, has now been adopted by the lower house. natasha butler reports on this from paris for the french government in the short term. is there any good news? they have survived to these 2? no confidence or votes in the parliament, even though it was from a very tight margin. they can now press ahead with their controversial pension reform bill. and what that means is, in the coming days, we can imagine that that bill will then go to constitutional court. and within a few days, a weeks it could get signed into law. so in the short term, good news with the french government, but there is no doubt that the political crisis that they face to day is far from over. because in order to continue with the manual macros, presidential term the government going to have to work with other parties in the parliament. they do not have a parliamentary majority. they're gonna have to reach out to politicians on all sides of parliament. if they want to.
