3:10 am
russia has taken over the rotating presidency of the un security council for a month, despite it's presidents being wanted for war crimes or the international criminal court. ukraine is called a take a slap in the face for the international community. president of all the mess and n ski called it absurd, fighting on going atrocities in his country. sure, he's got a bully show. great. yesterday the russian army killed a mobile ukranian child the 5 month old boy. the parents are wounded. one of the hundreds of artillery attacks for the terrace states carries out every day. and at the same time, russia presides over the un security council. it is difficult to imagine anything but crimes. the complete bankruptcy of such institutional or diplomatic editor james base has more now from the un every month the presidency of the un security council rotates among its 50 members. today,
3:11 am
russia is assuming the presidency for the month of april. that's deeply controversial because when russia had the presidency last year was february, the month that they invaded ukraine, there are people calling for russia to be kicked off the security council or kicked out of the united nations. but if you look at the rules and you look at the un charter, those things are not possible. what we do know is that later this month, the russian foreign minister, so gay law brokers will be here in new york. you'll be sharing a number of meetings including one in defense of this document. the you n's, founding charter, other diplomat say that is very cynical when it's russia that is currently breaching this charter with its ongoing war. james bays al jazeera of the united nations are richard gowen is the you and director at the international crisis group . he says, russian knows it on the defensive, within the us system. i think the russians are a little nervous themselves. i think they realize that they are in the spotlight in

new york now. and if they do you presidency to try and put some sort of pressure on the ukranian, they're going to get a huge amount of blow back. the russians have actually laid out a really been series of meeting or april a lot of days, which are currently now not going to involve any security council meeting. so i think that's because russia knows that later they are on the defensive, the blog in the un system. and if they try to use the presidency for malign purposes, it will actually one through the more of the world of moscow have you veto to ensure that the council have taken no meaningful action over ukraine. i think it is worth saying, though, that the russians have been quite restrained in the use of the veto on other issues the russians have not used that the so for example, over afghanistan or libya or,
3:13 am
or other crises on the un agenda. i think they do value the security council as a space where they can do some residual cooperation with western countries. and they don't want to blow that up completely. russia is defense minister has promised to boost weapons supplies to troops on the front line. so again, showing who has been criticized in recent months, the head of the russian wagner mercenary group has accused him of failing to supply sufficient munitions to improve the issue of supplying troops with lethal weapons is currently under constant control by the government. and by the ministry of defense principle, the voluble supplies of the most needed munition has been determined. necessary measures are being taken to increase them. senior clergyman, with ukrainian orthodox church, has been placed on the house arrest for 2 months after being accused of condoning russia's invasion,

3:16 am
using religion to incite hatred and division. his property was rated his home rated by intelligence agents on saturday as well. he claims that these are trumped up charges political charges. he denies them, he appeared in court. the prosecutors want him put under house arrest, pending further investigation. he said he was feeling ill on saturday, and so those proceedings have been delayed until monday. so the head on out was there in the wake of sy clothing freddy mozambique is facing its worst color outbreak in 2 decades. and when you look at the u. s. the vice president's week on top of africa, what it means for nations who need that really? ah april. on alex's era, from to kia and syria, al jazeera reports on how earthquakes,
