nowhere. it's thousands of miles from where the species is normally found in the atlantic pacific and gulf coast. the invasive jelly fish is filling fishing nets and crowding out other species and is having a severe impact on the fishing and tourism that locals depend on what i would know for them. i know. see, i don't know, could tell them when you die, even the worst look proficient you brush against a lot of jelly fish with your head. you body get stung along here. account. look for fish right now with completely stuck up in the moment diagram. dougherty, weekly halls. have dropped to less than a 5th of what they once were. local organizers say it's the industry's biggest decline in recent years. and then as well as environment ministry says, warming water is caused by climate change, pollution and over fishing, maybe to blame scientist in the capital are trying to pinpoint the exact cause. the invasion to say is when you're going to add the because this isn't

a typical event that's occurring, it's a complete and normally in previous he is only a few has been observed. however, the increase in the population of this year has completely exceeded previous estimates. what i'm saying, daniel jellyfish populations around the world have seward in recent years. the thrive and harsh conditions and need very little oxygen. and researchers are warning of a looming tipping point, where jelly fish could over whelmed other species and dominate the world's ocean. alexandra buyers, alda 0. well that's it. from me laura cloud. you can find much more on websites out . is there a dot com and i'll be back with more news off to the bottom line. the, [000:00:00;00]

the, on accounting,

the cost will oil prices keep rising and how will that affect the global fight against inflation. symbolic way launched a new power and seeing that bit to end its financial turmoil and hit by boycott, mcdonalds is now buying back o. it says really restaurant counting the cost on out to 0 a. hi, i'm steve clements and i have a question. is an arms embargo and sanctions on israel? the only way to prevent a genocide in gaza? let's get to the bottom line. the after half a year of continuous bombing is really leaders say they are still far from stopping the war and gaza. israel's allies say it's a legitimate war because israel space is a threat from hamas and is acting in self defense. but international law experts say something different, they say nothing justifies what's been going on. whether it's israel's killing of so many innocent people, it's use of food as a weapon of war, or the destination of all civilian life and gaza. no schools,

no homes assume no hospitals. so what can be done to stop the death and destruction and what damage is being done to the credibility and legitimacy of international law itself. the longer this work goes on today we're talking with francesca alban a say the you in special rapids or on the situation of human rights in the palestinian territory occupied since 1967 francesca. thank you so much for joining us today. i am looking forward to this conversation. look, you are recently presenting your report at the un human rights council. and you stated that the threshold indicating the commission of the crime of genocide has been met. and you called for an arms embargo on israel. can you go into greater detail about what that threshold is? absolutely, and thanks for having me. i've been in the study what has happened in gaza into godsa for the past 5 months, or 5 months?

a. and i didn't start this investigation thinking that i would conclude that israel has committed the crime of genocide or acts of genocide which eventually i put in do otherwise, he goes for civil. i've studied the ox that is really forces have to meet mosque healing must infliction of the physical and boldly harm where it extend prevention of this and the creation of pollution steps lead to no other outcome then destruction. and this in the english should be good to civil life in gossip and dice, and which in all these goes to jude the genocide of ox is supported by the intent to destroy the people in the in fluid part and a phone dissing teddy. no telling me as it had already been,

i'm pretty documented by the sounds top because we got a team of the board, the international court of justice, a couple of months ago. uh, through the order of statements that had been made by people with commander for a nice strong political and media years, but also emerging from the conduct of soldiers on the ground who had internalized of sold and acted upon those words. those orders. uh, like the cool that they give. okay. should obama lack cool? am i like this guy? destroyed all the comic and including women and children, or they are. and we know since the building got the whole, we have to where i the key to everyone who some us and eventually no, no one is in the center. this is very, very did the i actions old soldiers,

infantry on the ground. those who have learned and destroyed is that the guys ought to be getting for structures. um, but what is the most important finding in my board is what i call you money, not income slash of is rose genocide. the logic, i argue that the student has not the night will, the, will, these, the community in getting them off the disruption because just justified as equals alliance with the international you, money, tiny law. for example, the use of human shields. he's trying to has used the human shoes as a, as a concept that can be expanded. i didn't see need to. so any one was that was that was considered a human shields. but this has been done by he's when peter swears in 2008 doesn't what doesn't put the 2020 to 2026. any that's being demonstrated, either a fabrication or an excuse. and the sun was no different every time the,

the national one, we don't know the concept of human she's the use is to begin, let's face it. you know, as the buying power. you kind of us a fucking go the deal every one and say, well, the way you and shields cuz it's also mirrored by the comments and other you my design concept. she's collateral down much international you wanting to know is not this project. if it does, routine is just you know, to try to prevent the most violent defects of war and protect those who are not involved in conflict, which is not spared any one in discovering the patient. right? who's going to quote, anything as being could see the clock, the hutch, and also evaluation orders, safe zones warning. so all of these language has been used to come flash, the genocide of the logic of the destruction that he should have been has led to

this page to francesca. what does it say about the state and the solvency of international law? today? i am very impressed that you presented your report that you've had on both critics, particularly the us state department, but also those that have applauded your bravery at this moment. but do you believe that your findings will be act up? acted upon that you believe that the mechanisms within the united nations and within the institutions of international law are going to create real penalties for israel right now? or is this any road where we see any rose and of international law by the failure to act? there is no question that we also see in your ocean all the capacity or international to be enforced. or you shouldn't say some that true that international law without the this trends of political will is uh, like that letter. but it only takes that um,

freedom service from the needs and the constraints of international law can be criminal and this is within today. so there is an erosion and all the international law says the multilateral system that does not allow me to, to have any, any realistic for cost because i do see the impact of my work and my record to let's look at this genocide, the anatomy of a genocide report a few days after i presented every board are the members of the human rights comes to pass. there is a new sion and i've come to be that inserted specific language that i address. it's an arrow symbolical, uh, on a 0. no, no, no, yes. uh who's going to enforce that? it mean it is, it is important, the capitals and 9 with that there's also being

a resolution of the security council asking for assist fire there being several provision on the measures single mended findings for national worth of justice in those provision. i measure so i can possibly are binding on every watch. so the back of the neglect in eastern regarding or well there are 3 by an agent international law. only we can specifically because it's precedents for, for others to really get what culpability do nations have that supply is real with the weapons, it's using slippery has a report out saying that basically over the last decade or so, germany so supplied almost 30 percent of israel's weapons united states about 66 percent of israel's weapons. what's your view about that? the culpability of other parties in this um, well the book just says, oh,

the complexities there because the genocide convention is very dear for tv. it's uh, any form of the aiding and abetting of a conduct or said that might be committing genocide to providing the weapons that likely to be used in, in the car in to see reduce the threat. so you can to genocide deluxe might be seen as consistency. the moment that it's key or that there is this rece, there is the i c, g, a telling states excuse me today go measures uh possible steps to make sure that the genocide is prevented me. those measures are a little digging, but also steps to continue to view. will that kid assigned those boxes are thinking? well, i think that you need to 80 today. i suppose this is all complete to the to be very

so real i guess makes me ask the question about how, how jaded we have become to these kinds of conflicts into the moral questions involved. and you've been in the middle of a storm, but i'd be interested in your perspective on the rest of us that are watching this and what our responsibility is to better document and highlight these moral moments . not just when a celebrity ships, workers are killed, but everyone else that's killed and has been dying along the way. a look. i mean, the king of all the 7 age workers of the darkness, c, w t shirt and the atrocities. there is no, any crime. there's no question about this, but it's a, somebody in fossil, all of the very complex integrated criminal seeing which i couldn't describe otherwise. and then and in general,

assigned to them and said we'd mother mean settings uh, methods or was there. so it's interesting that the fact, oh, but as being international here, the room just pension back on the unit and no one is safe things outside including you. money, not even workers. there are all there 190 you mind. i am workers with you guys off in the past 6 months alone. 175 of them are you had some members to and the pumps and then there are no many foreigners there as created the source of anybody ever been any visitor odyssey? yeah. they're kind of stands academics, lawyers, human rights, defenders, jordan and assigned to 13000 children. i mean, it's the, it's so blue telling simone straws that i, i really, i mean i probably have given the 100 interviews by now in the studio every time

i've, i see how many children have died in this garden age. something inside me, bro, brakes because you know, most of all, we don't get the we mean some of us don't get used to these, but i do recognize this one's gonna be mobile isn't mobile listed societies. this is because we are, we have 3 minutes to time and it doesn't match us, which speaks of our humanity because, you know, i mean i lose. so instead of, it's just a moment where i knew i should either way and is a big over their own, a pretty religion, their own comfort so that someone else doesn't have to renounce it all. and we are still, we are still there. and with this uh, with despite exist central size itself, so a month you're a real expert on genocides and have studied other genocides as we know from report bosnia in the 1990 is the wrong thing. yeah. in myanmar i'm reminded that 30 years ago about 30 years ago,

the rwanda genocide against truancies took place. and when you go, when i've looked into the rwanda genocide, i was surprised that the systematic planning that had previously occurred before that date on april 7th. when that started, and then i was disturbed greatly by the slowness of global reaction, a bureaucratic reaction and even at the united nations with united nations, had been been warned, and told in advance of what was happening. un gave instructions not to do anything . i'm interested in that element of how this particular act in is real, gaza compares to those it does indeed does know in the sense that in many respect i've learned it through the past mom. so, so digging into a genocidal or

a genocide related lead. sure. of that genocide is never come so sunny that you never it so it's an insult to now it's a process. so it's not just the act of cheating, the act of killing the need to destroy a population and they're, we're riding on the walls so to speak. in the case, so the relationship between each one and the policy to disrespect probably it's not different for delivery. we'll see you on a nation, the rule that as and for me to the political spear and then the kind did all that the media especially the, is significant in for training or given narrative. but to hear the districts, i mean this genocide, us the legal 0. so i think that's obviously said is the 1st that is documented by the seats and each group asked, it didn't be all the time. this is quite unique. so there was not the month delay. ready between the currents of

a general aside in the and the act of the realization of each of the level of public opinion. so it's just what do you said it should be when we're unable to prevent the genocide. in rwanda, there you, when we're unable to prevent the jones, i pretty much everywhere including the in the, in myanmar ending both 00. be now the meaning of the have another cases but not, not this one for sure. and um, what is shocking is that in dispatch, with your case, that i've seen that there's been a terrific ation of these re, these political rectory. justification of the word is essential, says represented by the bodies being is the being. the fact that this was a conscious and music i thought, well, i know that the windows becomes obviously something that you sent a mentor, but they don't think that the hatred the ma, my, have a few. whoo,

yeah. subsidies is ready to be is generated by up to some it is, there is no evidence. so we rather, there is evidence of the country that they have reacted against israel as little to buying power. and as an upper side state, which doesn't justify the crimes of course, but understands the call of hips understandable. the and so and there is be also a role of western media in sort of sizing the language and still keep on doing that with the gt 1000 policy and q $70000.00. these things probably are then under the rubble this, you know, talk to the people talking, oh, find main, moving on, god. so when this is a man made starvation, it's intentional because the and so every become faster fee as a, as a sort of and those are in the, in gaps off. and there is not enough integrity in more cool world storage. so the

nonsense to the state department? yeah, state department spokesman, matthew miller kind of attacked you and said united states did not support your appointment. said that you characterized some of your comments as an anti semitic in this i've been trying to sort of navigate what is a more constructive stance and engagement strategy for the united states and this then what we've been seeing and what you do, given the kind of statements that we heard from matt miller about your work that i have found, i found the us spokesperson comments about me. so obviously predictable for someone who doesn't have arguments. and even these, you know, is the body language was selling? i don't know what to say, so let me blame her because it's silver convenience. this is our rabbits. and so i

mean he's been driving. he's been completely lambasted in social media. he's received the letters in the request for for resignation by many years, including authority off. sorry that the reading to maxwell center's scanners. and so you know, it speaks for itself and is the usual the usual read 3? 0, but throwing delegations around. does that mean it isn't as anyone who there's 3 designs, these are a rock is, is to do i have the time to engage with this? find all the behavior? no, i don't. at the same time, at the same time, the fact that he asked for my for my us of the show by the way it will be, shall go to them. it was providing whitford since probably going to be found on police. it's not trusting the primes, you know, to know, who knows. but the fact that such a statement comes from my us will be show,

is this packaging because he has no idea of depression? clearly he has no idea of the pressure that this monday is on. there also because of the lot eyes for billed by people like he and um and i have no means really no means to make sure that every everything is controlled because what can i, what can i do to protect myself? the number of steps, the number of attacks against c as in key. how do i navigate what the city is from? what is ne, take one insane person to activate that, make i need some of defense whiskers, of people from an a central grants that might be identified in me. you see what i mean? right? so well, let me ask you, finally, one of the other things we saw was after concerned that a few employees had been complicit with from us in on rush and, and the united states,

and many other nation suspended support in russia. and for those who don't know and route has this incredibly large footprint in social services throughout palestine and in other parts of the region as well as supporting refugees and in jordan and syria, etc. and i'm interested in whether the failure of the united states in germany, in particular, to reverse their views on your own. right. which is, which is i look at, it's gotta be a vital part of like that, that the next palestine, whatever it is, how you see that at the moment, many of the european nations that originally joined, that boy caught, have sense reversed themselves. and i'm interested in from an, again, an international law perspective. is there some complicity or some crime in not supporting the you and institution inactivity that delivers most aids sustenance, medical supplies, schooling, etc, you name it within palestine. hm. yeah,

i think there is uh, there is margin to investigate because the city of sold the responsibility of these rel, in trying to destroy rob, which is the only agency, was the capacity to the lever. a, you know, sort of organized manner in today offices population garza, the reason why the w a c k was delivering food from the c is one of the effects of ease us continuous attack on a box on the on on law which has to be non piece by the guy member states was your responsibility suspended their funding of ages of the, the, their funding to the agency on the basis of allegations from the states has

a track record of lies after nice, often nice. but even if the a negation, square law had already terminated to staff members against due process just to protect the condition of the agency. but what was the responsibility of the agency? why she would have the agency or why should have the agency responded all the ok, so oh, some indeed was where was the count, how to do next. so it was, it was completely nonsense ago, i need to respond to people the more as this decision to suspend from the to i was thinking today, after the international court of justice and the issue, these are the 9 distribution on measures asking for on fit 30 lines, are you an age which today would only be delivered by on russell? yes, of course the where someone from pc. well, this and this has been a sobering conversation,

but we'll have to leave it there. francesca alban easy un special wrap our tour on the situation of human rights in the palestinian territory occupied since 1967. thank you for sharing your thoughts with us today. thank you. so what's the bottom line? i need to admit that when it comes to the gaza strip, the bottom line is increasingly just difficult to see on the surface, israel seems willing to continue this war and has enough support to brush off calls proceeds, fire the destruction of massive amounts of causes, educational institutions, it's health care system, it's private businesses, culture and residential life. just don't align with the stated objective of just going after hom, us under us pressure that finally seem to click in israel is letting in more a trucks. but it's clearly not doing so because the international court of justice warning that it shouldn't do so and shouldn't do so immediately. back in january. none of the major factors that have led to the killing of 33000 palestinians, a massive proportion of whom are innocent, children, women,

and men are changed. there are no red lines, and morality isn't a factor. the bottom line is that there is no bottom line until israel's onslaught ends. maybe then a reckoning will begin, and that sadly is the bottom line. the growing up in greece means taking action. welcome to generation change a playful series that seem to understand. hollins, the idea is moving, i think he's around the world. we need to a political party that we'll talk about our problems. know how come from a generation because 0, this is being theme, the groups, the size, the, the system as know for most dangers of working class people. there is a difference between being able to participate in the system and actually being represented in the system generation change on al jazeera, 300 years ago, the found is the full season, the celebrated, the natural world in stages of the,

you know, his music has been re composed by onto patient intelligence using projected 2050 weather data to reflect the global climate emergency. culminating in a disturbing like performance himself, career dis, nokia or of so on al jazeera the the the

center i've been is due to the middle is, is on the being the people of the region, not confronting the real dangerous, devastating seems, gave a call to it appears on the escalate tensions of un security council meeting discussing a bronze attack on israel. the other that i'm or kyle, this is alice. is there a line from though? how also coming up?

as well as little cabinet discusses it's response as a ron warren's against any breakfast. retaliation
