in another one is that the lead just number of counts that's been. going to india puzzle 18 videos i've been convicted of 115 crimes of these meaning it is the biggest but. it's about finally. of all the individuals that have been convicted by the i.c.c. . longest and the most intimate you terry q was there a monday he was up to for a very long period of time and he was involved in a number of which they all crimes are going to go into a war well let me pick up on that what you just said so he had a long track record this trial began almost 4 years ago in light of the evidence against mr to god why did it take so long to convict him.
6:06 pm
to clone to the trial was up to not to try it so was one of the sharpest trials in ice you see. tom because it was only much of printf i've seen but sometimes bundle of groups to the i.c.c. he was a pretty month. in the water and when he was i was told him was 70 but because of the very of the congolese government wanted to maintain peace and. he remained a free month. in winter what torah of his are is after 20 seconds left he turned himself in why because the other militiamen in his group while trying to arrest him he wasn't safe anymore. so he's probably felt he was safer in the hague is that a fair assessment. one would think that to behave nobody would kill him.
6:07 pm
maybe he also believe that sort of a case to be found guilty but what i'd like to also say is that this conviction is real of refunding for the prosecution because of the losses of other cases a member of the condemned president vice president the whole bunch more with the former president of ivory coast so it's just a big boost for both the prosecution on the i.c.c. of the court historic conviction there at the i.c.c. in the hague or ago a lot were kabhie from the international justice a monitor search thank you for joining us. aren't talking about some of the other stories making news around the world. the e.u. has urged iran to change its course on its your aenima richmond plans or less after terror on announced on monday that it had broken the limit agreed in the 2015

6:12 pm
a better future. are the secret to ukraine our leaders have been meeting with the country's president a lot of resilience and also a steel long way of council president oliver thomas and outgoing european commission president trunk i've been discussing the conflict in the eastern part of the country fighting there has been grinding on for more than 5 years and the last he said ukraine was moving towards a sustainable ceasefire with russia which is backing separatist rebels in the east of the ukrainian president also made a very personal video message to his russian counterpart take a listen whichever it is agrees i would like to address the president of the russian federation the bloody mirror putin we need to talk yes we do let's do it sheikh let's discuss who crimea belongs to and who isn't present in donbass i suggest the following leaders be present at the talks. you u.s.
6:13 pm
president donald trump and british prime minister cherry's i'm a german chancellor angela merkel and french president emanuel. as for the place i think alexander lucas will be happy to host us in minsk means. we are not changing or dismissing any diplomatic formats mikey just for a month we are offering to talk but. since we need to talk right round well let's find out how that has gone down our correspondent nic ali joins us now from kiev where that meeting between the e.u. and the ukraine's new government is currently taking place nick open invitation extended there by president. is that an olive branch how serious should we take this. well that was quite something wasn't it do we need to talk yes we do i think if you look beyond that headline and he certainly has a talent for the political sound bite it is
6:14 pm
a lot less. extraordinary than it might seem this isn't about $1.00 to $1.00 talks alone he still wants western leaders to be there including president trump and he's also not giving up on all the other peace processes that have been underway for the last few years that this for him is really about talking to his home audience to his voters who go to parliamentary election here in a couple weeks time reminding them telling them that he is willing to do everything it takes to reach peace even if that means including throwing out all the stuff the diplomatic protocol but definitely this part of the world on the internet the last few hours that that sound bites do we need to talk yes we do that really is doing the rounds and let's keep proving again that he is really someone who can capture imaginations right and do it by doing something unconventional what can the people in eastern ukraine now expect from today's talks happening. but we weren't really expecting any big breakthrough we didn't expect the europeans
6:15 pm
to have some grand bargain in their luggage when they came to kiev this was about getting to know who has after all only been in office for less than 2 months he even took the european council president with him on a trip to the east of the country yesterday took him to a place. where for the 1st time in years the ukrainian army and the separatist forces have been able to agree to pull back their front line positions but if you could ease tensions that way this was a place where thousands of people have to cross the front line every day across the ruined bridge that hasn't been repaired in years selenski today at the press conference gave the separatist side a week's deadline he said if they didn't get going he would rebuild that bridge unilaterally we were there and it's last week to have a look at how it's impacting ordinary people let's have a look. 4 years have passed since this bridge was destroyed in fighting and the people it's a need. still clambering over its makeshift replacement thousands of them every day
6:16 pm
the separatists say they want the bridge rebuilt as it was wide enough for a tank to pass the ukrainian army counters insisting instead on a narrow replacement. for nina securing co is one of the civilians living with the consequences of their failure to agree she and her husband on a totally live in separate is controlled territory but her pension and the medicines nina depends on can only be connected from the government to health side so once a month they cross the front line each visit is an ordeal. fashionable. i was scared all the time on the bridge what would have happened if someone had tripped while carrying me or you i had to take a tranquilizer but video of more we should finish. nina didn't get a chance to elect ukraine's president to vote she would have had to make several additional trips across the front line but she couldn't be happier with the result
6:17 pm
. beginning to look good people are impatient we were waiting for the elections our hopes were so high i cried when i saw the landscape you know you ration i just want this all to end as soon as possible and for peace to return. nina was a baker until a failed operation put her in a wheelchair she now receives a pension worth approximately 50 euros half of which she spends on nappies and drugs she called back home in the separatist controlled side. it's over 30 degrees and most people here have to wait several hours just to pause the ukraine check for. fatalities and the rare teen these cures as the stress and the heat take their toll on the old and the sick. of being in a wheelchair nina gets priority. but when we leave the room in bridge still lies
6:18 pm
ahead of her. from the beginning ordinary people have had enough of this war we're all just grieving for the normal lives we had before this couple not my nation's new. nick so important not to lose sight of what this conflict means for ordinary people what is there a new offering to help resolve the conflict in eastern ukraine. well 2 things like money and sanctions continued financial support for ukraine and continued sanctions on russia over its an exception of crimea and its support of the separatists in don't bass there's been a real worry here in ukraine the last few months that there is increasing ukraine fatigue in europe as it were that people after 5 years are tired of supporting ukraine tired of the sanctions against russia and that politicians in western europe particularly in a hurry to basically sell ukraine down the river and make up with the kremlin
6:19 pm
without the kremlin having to do anything for that so really he was really needing to hear continued support for the sanctions and he got that from. the really the europeans coming up with the goods but. he clear that this is not a conflict that will be resolved in any other way but through diplomacy but with the sanctions as the kind of extra factor that will really bring russia to the negotiating table right nick calio reporting from kiev ukraine thank you for your reporting. and force news now and in the women's football world cup final united states have held on to their title beating the netherlands to nail megan ever pino and rose lavelle score at the u.s. goals in the 2nd half sealing team u.s.a.'s 4th title win. behind the
6:20 pm
familiar stripes on the flag of the growing only familiar stars in the lineup the americans lived up to the hype of hippie favoritism to paper the dutch gold with macon rypien though often the provider it's the newest and morgan book denied by the brilliance of sadie van veen and. the 29 year old's hands kept aside in a before half time as the teams were living with the bike it wasn't until the alamo before the hand of the video assistant referee would finally break the orange resistance a penalty awarded rypien 0 stepped up and put one hand on the trophy. the captain capping a tournament in which he laid on and off the pitch. like minutes later rose laville put the finishing touches on the victory with a 2nd go deserved win that makes the usa will champions a 4th time. meghan repeat no winning player of the tournament as a team might history in the us. but for a short moment the celebrations were almost drowned out by protests and this is
6:21 pm
what i'm talking about the. cries of equal pay ringing are out around the stadium just as the journey in front teano to president afifa was about to present the players with the trophy while the chance again serving as a reminder of just how much bigger a battle on the horizon there is for the women's team closing the pay gap between male and female players and alex forrest writing joins me now with more on this hot topic everybody is talking about now they put it firmly on the agenda how big is the pay gap well this whole debate has been going on for some time and in 5 men this play is all of the united states national team the u s w n t r o y g suing their own u.s. soccer federation over what they say is gender. discrimination over pay and
6:22 pm
conditions and they highlight for example of that sometimes they are just 38 percent of what their male counterparts on post gain and given that women's team have now won full well cops and the men have $10.00 you can see that they do have a point fifa will be paying them $13000000.00 u.s. dollars in prize money which sounds great but then you look at how much the next champions of the male world cup will win and it is $440000000.00 u.s. dollars very dry to break out when we can him out from the u.s. women's captain make an rypien over was speaking today. it certainly should be more and i think. i don't even know how to answer that question but i think there needs to be a big investment in the women's game so maybe someone like god forbid we overpaid maybe i could just maybe i could just happen like one time in the month you know because of their. knowledge she has a lot of support on social media she would just because it's basic as we were just
6:23 pm
saying at the bin numbers don't seem to add up we have one twitter user who writes the u.s. w n t doesn't deserve equal pay now they deserve more pay than the u.s. men's national team because the women have won 4 well cups and the men have 10 the women are champions and the men get paid more for barely qualifying better pay now and another user writes a classic case of women having to vos the outperform male counterparts to make their pace case for equal pay now and actually we've even heard from the famed snoop dog who has decided to comment on this he put a video on his instagram page that's have a watch over caught sharks or or you're sorry were missed opportunity for a 4th world. war i want to talk about his or really good $90000.00 per player but for me if they were to give far one of our players their pagan ladies many. pagan
6:24 pm
groups were they were the women should be getting 500000 per fully hugo says so. snoop dogg's or you better do it that's solid support right there where they go from here well already fee for have said look for that for the next women's world cup we're going to double the price money from $30000000.00 us $1.00 to $60.00 which sounds great but again it's just a fraction of what men are going to. for their prize money when that next comes round surely though off to all of this success the u.s. soccer federation has to listen to what these incredibly successful women a saying to them that they want to be paid fairly and i think that will be the area that we will see movement surely has to happen see rather better soon whenever i think is so very much alex greatly appreciated now it's one of the most famous paintings in the world rembrandt's nightwatch depicting a 17th century civil militia while now this masterpiece is undergoing what's being
