oh, that the house on al jazeera, what happens in new york has implications all around the world to make these stories resonate requires talking to everyday people, the mayor of the city and i was doing away with the car that was supposed to get everybody off. it's international perspective with the human touch doing way in and then pulling back out again. a weekly look at the world's top business stores, thousands of people go on strike and pay the high cost of living from global markets in economies and small businesses. the export restrictions really impact tried as autonomy to understand how it affects counting the cost. oh, now jazeera ah, ukraine's president accuses russian troops of be heading a ukrainian soldier. the kremlin says the video of the alleged incident needs to be

verified. ah, play you're watching al jazeera life from to have with me for the battery war or so ahead. the u. s. president arrives in ireland after a short visit to northern ireland as he marched 25 years since the good friday peace agreements. the un security council meeting to discuss the future of the peacekeeping operation in molly and are running low on the water. several states in the western us could be forced to cut consumption. ah, we begin in ukraine where the state security service has launched an investigation . after a video emerged, allegedly showing the beheading of a captured ukrainian soldier by russian troops present volumes. lensky says the act

will not be forgotten nor forgiven. the kremlin says a fridge needs to be verified. the un and european union have denounced the video and pledge to hold war criminals to account john a hole has more from keith. this footage appears to be children, a mobile phone appeared overnight. it is extremely gruesome to watch. in no way fit for broadcasts. i must ad we cannot independently verify it, although he's getting an enormous amount of traction on social media. here in ukraine and ukrainian government is certainly treating it as though it is genuine to videos. the point of fact, the 1st appears to show the corpses of 2 ukranian soldiers lying on the ground beheaded beside a destroyed military vehicle. the 2nd video, much more graphic than that appears to show russian soldiers torturing a ukrainian prisoner of war and then beheading him. and at the moment that the

beheading begins using a knife is there are signs that this soldier may, in fact have been alive at that point. as i say, no independent means of verifying this video nor its context, nor the units involved, nor where or when it was shocked. although the lush green foliage, particularly the 2nd video, indicates that it probably took place well before the beginning of winter. last year. ukrainian reaction, as you can probably imagine, has been swift and angry. ukrainian politicians suggested that russia be stripped of its presidency of the un security council, another the foreign minister dmitri coo labor, likening russia to the stomach state and the coast presidency. lensky has made a video statement, which he called on every world leader to react that he said, don't expect this to be forgotten. we are not going to forget, here's what he had to say. is something that no one in the world can ignore how

easily these beasts killed this video. the execution of the ukrainian captive, the world must see it. there are no people for them. a son, a brother, a husband, someone's child. this is the video of russia trying to make this a new norm. such a habit of destroying life has also been international reaction. here in ukraine, the un mission says it's a poll by the video. and the european union says, if confirmed this, these images are yet another brutal reminder about the inhumane nature of russian aggression. you reiterating its commitment to holding all perpetrators and accomplices of war crimes to account he and his daughter jabari with the reaction from moscow. well, according to the kremlin spokesperson dmitri pest, because that is what it does, need to be verified,

but he did call it appalling and very disturbing. this is the only reaction we've had so far from any of the officials here in moscow. but of course this is not the 1st time that the russian military has been accused of carrying out the legit war crimes. during this conflict, the main one being that the events that took place in the town of boucher last march there was a lot of evidence. the ukrainian government claimed that the russian military carried out what they believed to be war crimes. and the russians for their part said that the footage was altered and edited to create the illusion that those crimes were committed by the russian military. but for the time being, during at, for this latest video that surfaced, the officials are waiting to see when it can be verified before they comment any further and out of world news us present. joe biden has arrived in dublin, in the republic of ireland. he'll pay a visit to county land where he can trace back some of these roads early in belfast,

he said he wants to see more than island government restored as soon as possible. biden was there to him on the 25th anniversary of the good friday peace agreement, which ended 30 years of violence. an affective devolved government reflects the people of northern ireland and is accountable to them. a government that works to find ways to hard problems together. going to draw even greater opportunities this region. so i hope the assembly and the executive will. so the restore, that's a judgment for you to make, not me. and i hope it happens along with the institution that facilitate north south and east west relations. all of which are vital pieces of the good friday agreement, poll brennan, re for some county lough in island. 31000000 americans claim irish ancestry, so that's one in 10 and that's a lot of voters. so clearly joe quietly has one eye on his domestic politics when

he's visiting island, both north and south as well. but for this particular president, the 2nd catholic president that there is, there is a strong affiliation and affinity with island his ancestors of war. here he's making what you could almost call the pilgrimage to county allows, later today, because of the finnegan family, all his own sisters, whose great great grandfather own finnegan left the shores and went through american the 1840s. joe biden, coming back to this county, to pay respects to that part of the family. and later on in the visit he'll, he'll go over to see the blue it outside of the family in county mayo, on the tarmac at dublin airport when you arrive around 3 pm local. today, the diplomacy was at the forefront. he met with the iris t shirt clear, veronica on the on the tarmac. you perhaps can see in the background as we blink and the secretary of state there as well. so if you talk about belfast being the political, cited this visit, we're now looking at the next 3 days,

being the diplomatic and the personal side to jo biden's agenda. and we want to show you nice and life pictures of president biden in calling fed in our county lough way. he is with thee at me hall martin with the irish t shock air. he is visiting a castle there. this is his 1st steph few hours in ireland, and there'll be a full day to morrow of fat diplomatic care if any, say, as well as more visiting of the area by president jill biting. moving on, and is often called the un steadly s peacekeeping operation. and now the future of the mission in molly's being discussed at the security council, germany and britain as well as neighboring ivory coast, are among several nations to renounce withdrawal plans, but with violence getting worse. marley's military government is increasingly turning to russia's wagner group. nicholas hark reports. strung together in haste. this makeshift camp lies on the outskirts of molly's capital. bummer ko. it's been

built by people who have recently fled violence sweeping the country. among them said to me at the quantity, she says, when 1000000 soldiers marched into her village, she thought she would be safe, but instead they killed her husband. and then she then describes a wave of attacks carried out by fighters linked to al qaeda and government backed militias. she says, a un peacekeeping force is based not far away, but has never come to protect the people in her village. i came here because it's no longer safe in my village. there's so much uncertainty and the un soldiers, they just come after the battle, look at what has happened and then leave again. 14000 un peacekeeping troops, mostly from african nations, are stationed in mildly after french troops intervened to stop armed groups from invading the country. in 2013 costing nearly $1000000000.00 a year. and with more than 180 soldiers killed, it's the most expensive peacekeeping operation carried out by the u. n. in terms of money and the lives of its personnel. un peacekeeping mission,

also known as been useless as it has the mandate to protect the population, ensure the peace agreement is respected and assist molina authorities and building reconciliation. in an interview with al jazeera, molly's prime minister says, the mission is not delivering on its mandate to protect the population, pres alia, moon shift shore, as it can easy no group. we want to make up people site to the international community, intervened. in molly, following the adoption of the un security council, resolution in 2013 mullins understood it was to end the war. emily, as soon as a base agreement was saw it, they said they were here to bring peace, but there is no place to bring soldiers dying that we want to stop the mass killings of our soldiers and of our citizens. but when, if elegant, forces from several european countries have left the un mission after molly's june, to hired russian mercenaries from the wagner group to support its own troops. un independent human rights experts accused fighters from wagner, of carrying out extrajudicial killings and torturing people in mali. they are meant

to protect and so the you insecurity council is meeting to discuss the future of the mission. at stake is the fate of a people seemingly alone and vulnerable in the face of mounting violence. nicholas hawk algae 0. our diplomatic editor james space has more from un headquarters in new york. this mission, this, the newsman mission, set up by the united nations. well, if you go back 10 years, 2 weeks from now is the 10th anniversary. when this was set up, i was actually in by marco watching the 1st un peacekeepers put on their blue helmets 10 years ago. and certainly this mission has not gone the way that the u. m . would have liked it is the most dangerous mission that the un has, and it's had real problems in the last year or so that led to some of the countries which have the most sophisticated military is pulling out their troops.

you had the french, backed by canada as well, who weren't part of the un mission, but they were there in numbers in marley. they pulled out their troops, them within the un mission. you. you've had of forces from sweden, from u. k. most recently, jordan, who have pulled their, their troops out. so that's the problem. number one, they are losing the most capable of the peacekeepers that are there. the other problem is that this mission is already completely overstretched. they expanded to central marley to trans stabilized central. molly, in 2019, and yet they got no additional resources, no additional trip numbers to do it. so it is a difficult situation. you have other aspects of this, like the piece deals that supposed to take place. with groups around molly that aren't going anywhere, you're supposed to have a return to constitutional rule. there was supposed to be a constitutional referendum that was supposed take place in march. well, we passed march and still that's not there or something that's taken place. so real

concerns and everyone's gonna work out what to do next. in d, i see the new fighting between m 23 fighters and regional allied forces. i take a 2nd place near the city of gama. and the rebels have taken control of several towns in the east. nearly 1000000 people have been forced to leave their homes. and thousands of students are being prevented from to college. or school. sal hirata has a story ah, piece by piece and thomas bouquet of fixes his families tent, living in a small refugee camp just outside the city of goma. there's plenty of time, but not much to do. at 22 years old, he should be studying his final year in college. instead, he's doing odd jobs. he says to survive. being displaced in the democratic republic of congo is tough for many a column way conical no, no. and when i'm in the camp and as he students from gama in the final year like me and others doing the internships, it really hurts my heart because of the war. a continued my studies. i wonder when

i get to finish the years. i just passing by thomas is one of nearly a 1000000 people who have fled their homes to him, not just once, but 3 times. several civil wars have taken place in the d. r. c. during the past decades, why involving the c n d p militia from cuba? region? muslim world alonzo cartucker, my studies part of getting disrupted with the war against the c and d, p. were fled to colonel chena for a whole year. then we fled again in 2012. all this meant that i had several blank years emerge. cation and here we are again, your flip, the war with the intern for the rebels. it's impossible for me to study. ah, the m $23.00 rebel group is widely believed to be backed by neighboring or wanda and accusation. kigali denies the fighters of taken over areas of land in the east of d r. c. the united nations says that carried out war crimes against the congress. people, most of the conflict is taking place in d. r. c's, east and regions,

workers in to me are excited about a new bill passed in congress will tell you why a frank assessment 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 for what it means for china's power on the world stage. critical debate, there are only both legal revoke a in depth analysis of the day. sidelines inside story on al jazeera, all coveted beyond wealth pay can without hesitation, fought and died for power defines our world. we live

evidence from the scene suggests most of those killed were civilians. many of them children, a warning his report contains disturbing images to people, shelter in a ditch. the sound of heavy caliber gum far can be heard in the distance, the sound of an army firing on its own people, government and the frank admission from the spokesman for the military government. whether on state tv, it don't work with their whole. oh that on the bottom, yes, of course we launched the attack on them. we were informed that pdf were killed at the event under the attack. they are opposing our government. we met major general zalman 2 and 3 weeks ago in the capital ne p door. and asked him about similar tags that of killed scores of civilians. he answered then as he does now, these are legitimate military targets. and those killed a competence. but new and distressing footage from the aftermath of the attack

their water supplies. areas in the north, west of mexico depend on it to rob reynolds has more. after 23 years of severe drought, the colorado river in its reservoirs have dwindled to alarmingly low levels. if they dry up even further, it could cut hydro electric generation and water supplies over a vast area. worse case scenario when everyone on board with no water. busy river, so wow, in the river to serve those, but it's nearly $40000000.00 people in the west depend on the colorado for drinking water and electricity together with billions of dollars worth of foreign products. even though we have a largely above snow above normal snow pack in the colorado we still, it doesn't mean we're gonna have great run off at this point on top of the fact.

rainfall over the past several months, but scientists say one wet winter is not enough to make up for 23 years of severe drought. so it seems that one way or another, the people of the west are going to have to get used to using water more sparingly . rob reynolds al jazeera, los angeles, chili's congress has passed a proposal to reduce working hours. am overseen by many as a step forward for workers' rights. felix now are a force o a breakthrough in she lays congress for 6 years. politicians i've been debating whether to reduce the length of the working week. this was the moment many who argued for that change had been waiting for him on money for that. who now get annually. we want to express great joy because we've shown that it's possible to advance towards a better quality of life for the workers of our country. even 127 out of
