3:09 am
the short answer to your question, which is actually relevant, is no, because both leaders have delegated the authority in forging trade deals to ustr lighthizer and his counterpart injapan, toshimitsu motegi. and these two men are meeting on the sidelines of the summit meeting and they made sure that no outcome can be envisioned at thisjuncture. and i think it will take us still more months, perhaps 11—5 months. special advisor to the cabinet of shinzo abe, tomohiko taniguchi. thousands of israelis have protested against moves to give the prime minister benjamin netanyahu immunity from prosecution. the opposition leader benny gantz told demonstrators they must not let israel become the private domain of a sultan or royal family. ramzan karmali has more.

3:12 am
would allow russia to signal that it was ready to stop the conflict with ukraine in a civilised way. but russia said the tribunal had no jurisdiction in the case. this report from danny aberhard. the incident in november dramatically escalated tensions between russia and ukraine. the ukrainian vessels had tried to pass through the kerch strait the only access to ukrainian ports on the sea of azov. russia has controlled the strait in its entirety since annexing crimea from ukraine in 2014. moscow saw the attempted passage as a provocation. its coastguards fired on the vessels, injuring several crew members, before boarding the ships. ukraine turned to the international tribunal when other efforts to secure the release of its sailors had failed. the courts did not uphold ukraine's request for moscow to suspend proceedings against the servicemen. they're accused of breaching russia's maritime border. but the judges backed kiev on its key demands.
3:13 am
by 19 votes to one, the russian federation shall immediately release the 2a detained ukrainian servicemen and allow them to return to ukraine. ukraine's deputy foreign minister hailed the outcome. for us, this is a pure victory. how russia will act, this is not a matter of this tribunal. this is up to russia, how to release, what kind of actions to do. but the main thing is that they have to do this immediately. russia, like ukraine, is a signatory to the un convention on the law of the sea, but it said the court had no jurisdiction in this case and declined to participate. the united states special representative for ukraine acknowledged that russia was unlikely to comply. of course, families in ukraine of the sailors and the public opinion generally is very concerned about the fate of the savouries
3:14 am
and russia is using this as a pressure point. there is nothing legal whatsoever about russia's action. it's an early test for ukraine's new president, volodymyr zelensky, who was sworn in on monday. mr volker said he believed mr zelensky would stand up to moscow on this issue and others. some critics fear he might be more accommodating to russia than the previous incumbent. mr zelensky himself said that by allowing the servicemen and boats to return, russia could send the signal on stopping the conflict with ukraine in a civilised way. we will see, he said, what path the kremlin chooses. danny aeberhard, bbc news. in america, it's memorial day weekend — a time to pay tribute to veterans. for the last 30 years or so, part of the commemorations has involved thousands of motorcyclists riding into washington. it's known as rolling thunder. but this year will be the last time
