shamile 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 is 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 thing. 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 putin said russia is open to

a political and diplomatic solution was uncommon, suspension that people are dream. 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 negotiations. we'll discuss all this issues, including your 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

were put in washington has recently disclosed intelligence that china was considering sending secret shipments of weapons to russia. and if that happens, the u. s. was it may impose economic sanctions on badging. ash barbara al jazeera, a journalist, the jojo shoppable over reports on the meeting from moscow. this is, of course presentation pay his 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, also 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 lodge imitating his dear friend and reiterated at a close relationship that the 2 countries are now enjoying should continue. during the meeting, we heard from jimmy pruitt and saying that he had carefully read trying to plan for

the ukrainian price of settlement. and the read room for discussion and russia is always open for vacation. and just to remind you, the chinese peace plan has been presented around 2 months ago prior to she's visit to moscow. the main program is shed for, for tuesday that so many expect that the conflicts in ukraine will talk, and it is now into the 2nd year and it doesn't show any signs of a basing. besides the cranium crisis, there will be other topics on the table. chinese number one, it can only pop, 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 operation. 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 cool. 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. how does china look at all of this? here's katrina you with the view from beijing 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 ties with blood and the fusion petunia. see 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 good time to seeing us constantly as a leader and might be more open to china as an alternative. now we've seen these opening shop pleasantries in this chassis between 5 in houston and she didn't i think when it comes to do politics underestimate the importance of the change, 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 2 liters. meet more than 40 times. this is present and she didn't being nighttime in moscow. vladimir putin last time and made a ice cream birthday cake. prison. she didn't think he's preaching himself. the said that she did pay the only state leader that he's celebrated, 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 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 needed basically for the rest of their lives. and the important thing

that we need to watch out as a member of community that these to share a worldview. 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 is other country. 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 china. an attempt to broker and end to the conflict in ukraine. the world should not be fooled by any technical move by russia, supported by china or any other country to freeze the war on its own terms. such a movement violate the un charter, and delay. defy, excuse me, the will of 141 countries who are the condemned brushes war and the united nations general assembly one party to this conflict. ukraine has already put forward a just peace formula. their china is committed to supporting an enter the war based

on the principles of the one charter, as called for in point. one of this plan can engage with presence lensky and ukraine on the basis, and use his influence to compel moscow to pull back its forces. 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. jonah hold reports. 40 countries, fewer than a 3rd of all signatories to the international criminal court, gathered in london affirming their support of the court work in ukraine. the journey towards international justice will be long 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 unite 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 kootenai immunity as 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 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 omar. how, son, 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 joe al jazeera london at japan's prime minister is on his way to ukraine on an unannounced visit. it will be from you can shoot as 1st trip to the country since the russian invasion

. a year ago. he's expected to assure president vladimir lensky of tokyo's continued support. the japanese government says it wants to focus on reconstruction and humanitarian aid for ukraine while pushing the harsh sanctions against russia. ukraine says an explosion in a russian antics crimea has destroyed russia. cruise missiles in the north of the peninsula. the defense mystery says the missiles were being transported by train, the russian installed head of the region confirmed the air defense systems had been activated. he says, at least one person was injured and a house was damaged. and south korea is banning the export of items linked to north korea, satellite development program. the foreign ministry has put 7719 on a watch list, including solar cells and gps technology. john yang has said it plans to launch a military reconnaissance satellite into orbit. last week it launched an intercontinental ballistic missiles, the latest in a series of weapons,

test. police 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 paid to adult film star stormy daniels by his former lawyer, michael 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 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 pay 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. 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 new un report has warned, the world needs to reduce carbon emissions by 66 percent in the next 12 years. if it wants to avoid a climate catastrophe,

scientists say governments need to act now before it's too late. or environment editor nick clark explained. in every country on every continent, the climate emergency is taking hold. this is milan away, 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 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, there 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, 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 scientist 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 continue to increase along with colossal profits for the oil, johns, and temperatures. as of course, they're going up to a now say the experts once and for all we need to act before that window of opportunity slam shut and un secretary general. antonio gutierrez is urging wealthy

nations to slash their emissions sooner. humanity is on seen ice and that ice is melting fast. as to this report of intergovernmental panel on climate change, i, b. c. c, details. 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, the push for peace in yemen, gathers pace, have warring sides, reach an agreement to swap hundreds of prisoners and a government of french president. in many, michael survives

a no confidence vote. days after its force through an unpopular pension. ah god, i, we got a lot of like the weather in the forecast across the middle east over the next couple days. a fair but a cloud up to was a north that same area cloud rolling across iraq, iran down across sea arabian peninsula as well as we zoom in to the golf. we'll see some wet weather on the other side of the waters there into iran, stiff old shamal winds setting in, and that will produce some lifted dust and sand as we go on through tuesday clearing through, as you make away into the middle part of the waste a thing should gradually begin to quieten down, but you can see that wessa weather that runs all the way up towards the caucasus, up towards the caspian sea. not too bad. now. it took

a part off to care. good parts of syria should be tries. we go through tuesday and the same is true is going to wednesday, the wet weather starting to slide a little further east with some snow there around northern parts of iran and much quieter. here in kata, down to was a, you a, a, but a few shower still clinging on to the far south of the arabian peninsula. as america went to northern parts of africa and live the winds here as well, nasty little circulation just around algeria and libya, and we'll see some wet weather coming into libya as we go on into where to stay. a few showers there lifted dustin sad, and a few showers for the gulf of guinea. ah mm. ah

ah ah ah, washing elsie's 0 reminder of our headlines. russian president vladimir putin has told his chinese counterpart that he is open to discussing beijing's plan to end the war and ukraine. president changing things on his 1st visit to moscow since the russian invasion. ukraine says an explosion in crimea has destroyed a cache of russian cruise missiles that were being transported by rape. the head of

the regions said air defense systems have been activated. un reports as the world must slash carbon emissions by 2 thirds by 2035. if it wants to avoid a climate catastrophe, the un secretary general has also called on the rich countries to quit oil, coal and gas by 2040. so the government, a friend president emanuel macklin has narrowly survived to no confidence votes in parliament of its controversial pension reform. the 1st fell just 9 votes, short of the number needed to bring down the government. it means the bill raising the retirement age from 62 to 64 years old, has been adopted by the lower house. the result sparked protests in several cities and there's been widespread anger after the government bypass parliament. the push through this change natasha butler reports from pass 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 the 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 the constitutional court. and within a few days, a weeks it could get signed into law. so in the short term, good news to 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 at all sides of parliament. if they want to go ahead and press ahead with other legislation, but that is clearly going to be extremely difficult after these no confidence motions after the government pushed through their bill by decree and parliament bypassing and peace. that is infuriated impedes. who now say that they have little faith in the government, and there's no doubt that the french government has been severely weakened. a

warring sides in yemen 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. this is 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 restored diplomatic relations 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 doors, detainees, united comedies, more than 800000 people have been forced from their homes in the eastern democratic
