1:03 pm
cafe every week. over a 100 people were in and around this events, the time of the attack. the dumbass native was given the statue of himself as a gift, moments before the blast. according to the mayor of saint petersburg, all the cities emergency services have been called to deal with the incident. loveland to starsky launched his own social media channels to report on the activities of the russian military, liam, in its so called special military operation. and has a following of over 500000 subscribers. so starsky was invited to the lavish ceremony last september at the kremlin, where russian president proclaimed the annexation of 4 regions of ukraine. mac curvature. that's our sky was a well known figure among kremlin supporters seen here with daria. do you know who was killed in a car bomb attack last august in moscow region? her father, alexander, duke, and a far right political philosopher and crumbling supporter,
1:04 pm
was believed to be the intended target. the russian foreign ministry has issued a statement condemning the attack and praising that's our work. as a journalist and his service to the country. these types of attacks are rare in russia, but the planning and plotting behind them just true that the battles are not confined to the dumbass region. doors such as laurie al jazeera, moscow, and dawson with us now live in moscow. dose of the morning after that attack. what's the latest on the bombing? well, according to officials, 26 year old woman by the name of daria. her pulver has been detained by the authorities and they were questioning her at for her involvement in this attack. she was apparently the person who handed tusky that gift where officials believe the explosives were located now upon her detention. her 1st words were,
1:05 pm
she's being framed and she was just being used, but this is what she's told authorities. we also understand that she was picked up early on monday about in an apartment about 40 minutes away from this cafe in st. petersburg. now, she is someone that is known to officials. she was detained previously for her involvement in various rallies that were opposing the so called special military operation in ukraine. and we also understand, according to the anti terror committee, that is part of the f. s. the security services in russia that she is a active supporter of the alexander and of all these group, which is a band organisation here in russia. so police are questioning her at this time and they believe that she was involved in this attack, right? so she says that she was framed despite the fact that the police believe that she was responsible if she wasn't involved, who would have wanted him dead?
1:06 pm
while that is a very good question at the moment, according to the security services, they are pointing the finger to officials in ukraine and the ukraine, ukrainian security services, and special services as they call them. and according to this committee, that is part of the s s b. they believe that alongside help from nevada, these organization, the ukranian securities, special services, were involved in this attack without providing any evidence about how they came to this conclusion for the time being. we've also been hearing from the criminal spokesperson, dmitri prescott, who has called this a terrorist act, and has also cited this report by the f s. b committee, saying that it is a part of the key of special services that were involved in carrying out this attack. his background indicates a very specific kind of view that is in russia about this military operation that
1:07 pm
is ongoing. and the woman that's been detained at the moment is counter to that point of view of this 40 year old petoskey who was killed. so the officials for the moment believe that kiev security services involved in this attack with the aim of taking out a vocal supporters of the kremlin military operation in ukraine. i was 0, dosage of our reporting live from moscow dawson many thanks. ukraine's president of a lot of his landscape describe the fighting around the eastern city of back was as particularly hot. earlier the head of a wagner mercenary group, fighting for moscow said his forces had raised the russian flag above administration. building in back would keep those says it still holds the city. let's go live that a keep al jazeera joined a hole is the amid the claim and counter claim claims. joan, what do we know about what's actually happening in backward?
1:08 pm
what? well, really, what we have all these conflicting reports extremely difficult nigh impossible. in fact, to verify what is going on inside buck mode, extremely close quarters fighting going on inside that city that's been going on for several months. so in terms of these reports, you've got on the one hand, you're going to 3 goes in the founder and head of the wagner mercenary group. his men, of course, heavily engaged in back saying that overnight, the flags of wagner and russia were raised about the administrative headquarters of the town. and therefore, legally, it had fallen into russian hands. the canyon fighters pushed towards the west. well, that is heavily disputed by the ukrainian side. a spokesman for the east military command echoed by the presidential administration, saying that fighting continues to rage in the east of the city, around the administrative building. and quote that the russians are very far from capturing anything. so we'll have to watch closely how this unfolds in the coming
1:09 pm
out. but remember, pre gozine has previously declared victory in back mode only to be proven wrong. subsequently, remind us jonah of the significance of backward. this is a regional town is just inside the border of the don't that's region. it's been fought over. as i said fiercely for months now pre war population, $70000.00. so much fewer few of the people still living there. now of course closely it has absolutely no strategic value for either side. it has taken on instead an immense symbolic value and also in terms of morale for russia on the one hand that needs to be seen wants to be seen as making progress towards finally capturing the whole of that dawn at region. it was one of russia's original invasion aims and ukraine, on the other hand that wants to be seen still to be resisting,
1:10 pm
to be denying even an extremely heavy cost or denying russia that most basic of its aims and zeros johal reporting live from cave. any thanks, jonah it with the news, al from al serra still come on the program. a new report plays bed decades of human rights abuses in south saddam and calls for a culture of impunity to end. funerals are held for 2 palestinians killed in an israeli radon. naturalists in the ocean like west bank at a hat trick for kareem spends about as rail madrid, hammer that opponents of the spanish league that's coming up little later in the sport with jo. ah, valencia slo, house of parliament has voted to remove the mandatory death penalty for crimes such as butter and drug trafficking. instead of capital punishment, offenders will face life imprisonment or caning. depending on the crime,
1:11 pm
the law will now go to the upper house and then to the king to be signed. lazier has suspended executions since 2018. while the amendments to the law would being disgust. lisco live out of columbia out to see was florence. louis is that so florida, as we were saying this change has been under discussion in valencia for several years, doesn't it? that's right. and type in 2022 is a just last year when the different administration was in power. similar pieces of legislation with table. but before they could even be debated, parliament was dissolved and before that it was part of a menu. oh with 2000 in. but when that administration. oh, but when they were in power, they wanted to abolish the death penalty. but that was political pushback, so they had to compromise and instead of proposed to abolish the mandatory death penalty. and that brings us to where we are today. and so the amendments the bills,
1:12 pm
what caused by a simple voice vote with almost no opposition. and that's because these are those that have bipartisan support. have been several years in discussion because more and more over the last few years, there's been an understanding that the death sentence may not be the determined that people think it is. and that it also is unjust. because it moved removed the discretionary power of judges, and it means that judges cannot take into account mitigating factors like a history of abuse or history of mental illness in the person who committed the client. so what crimes would these changes apply to? so there are several parts to these amendments. one is that it does away with mandatory capital punishment. and so these are $511.00 offences including murder and terrorism. so now it means that the judges now have a discretion. it doesn't do away with capital punishment or death penalty
1:13 pm
completely, but it means that it is no longer mandatory and discretion can be used. now. it also substitutes natural life in prison with life imprisonment, meaning that an inmate instead of dying in prison, will have to serve maybe 30 to 40 years and that's gonna be replaced. that's going to be the change. those change as part of the wider criminal justice reform that's going to take place in malaysia, you know, criminal justice advocates. they've been saying that they want the ultimate goal to see the ultimate goal is to see the death penalty abolished. but they also very realistic, and they think that as a conversation, that malaysia has to slow the maybe undergo perhaps in the next 10 years. because there is still a perception that countries have to be tough on crime and abolishing the death penalty completely may send the wrong message. beneath her doubts, husband has been on death row. for 13 years,
1:14 pm
he was found guilty of murder. she raised their son on her own bed. when my son went to kindergarten, he didn't have a father. it was just me, a single mom. when he started primary school, he didn't have a father then neither. he's now 16. his father has not even held his hand. malaysia is now aiming to abolish the mandatory death penalty. they are currently 11 offenses with death is the automatic punishment of the $1300.00 inmates on death row. nearly 70 percent were convicted of drug trafficking in malaysia, carrying even a small amount of elicit substance comes under that definition. human rights group say it doesn't meet the threshold of most serious crimes on the international law. the proposed amendments will allow the countries highest court to replace death sentences with life in prison and caning. these reforms have been on the table for
1:15 pm
several years now and more for him on executions has been in place since 2018. the minister in charge of legal reform says the abolition of the mandatory death penalty is aimed at valuing the sanctity of life, while ensuring justice and fantasy for all anti death penalty advocates. welcome to move and say malaysia also needs to look at reforming. other aspect of its peano system including rehabilitation. most of us in asia pacific specific grants to really prioritize punitive punishment. we don't really ask how question once we punish a guy, and once we come out, what we wanna do with him, do we expect to sunday reintegrate better society and do good or do we expect them to re offend on the road? for vanessa, there is at least a chance that her husband's case might be reviewed at his home. yet, i know he did wrong, but please don't hang a ya give him another chance. you release him, he can change the changes will still have to be passed in the upper house of

1:25 pm
some really horrendous crimes of the committee. but what i'm seeing is that there seems to be a luck will to deal with katrina. and this is despite the fact that the subsidies themselves, the leaders of agreed to the stablish ment of a hybrid court, to punish the traitors. we have not seen the state place. instead, we've seen that those who commit to abuses and allow them to happen, remaining office. and in some cases that rewarded rather than punished for this culture. of impeding to something that we strongly convinced needs to be addressed . insulted, honestly, turn the page and to be more democratic and unsafe for country point city. but if south sudan is unwilling, as you say, or appears unwilling to, to, to do the things that it said it will do who's, who's responsibility is it? who's going to end this culture of impunity?

1:47 pm
a lot more cautious. every day the situation gets worse, and more people leave the country. in desperation, it gets worse because every thing we need to live is getting more expensive. it gets worse because arms trafficking increases and the state has no control. it gets worse because politicians don't work in the interest of the people. despite all the dangers, i enjoy my work and i do it with love, with everything that's happening in this country. the youth need journalists like me to keep them informed. the price of oil has risen after saudi arabia and other producers from opec plus alliance. the opec plus alliance announced production costs react, says it's a precautionary measure. the stabilize the market, the u. s. as opposed to reduction saying the world needs lower oil prices to support economic growth. jim crane is an energy fellow at rice university's baker institute. he says that the higher price of oil will lead to higher global

1:49 pm
and you think that, you know, prices now under 80. it would be looking at another round of cuts. anybody that's producing oil is going to benefit from this oil producing countries. lots of spending going on in those countries. lots of lots more investment upstream in producing more oil, as well as, you know, social programs construction plans, you know, lots of infrastructure, spending, those countries. i suspect that's going to continue. and it's also going to push, you know, inflation in the rest of the world and the central banks around the world are still grappling with persistently high inflation. this is not going to be welcomed. step in those countries for is in voted to buy the hiring of electric scooters in the city. nearly 90 percent of the balance cost were against the rental of battery powered vehicles, but less than 8 percent of eligible voters took part in the referendum the trash butler reports from paris. well,
