the mounting evidence of russian atrocities against it. we cannot, we will not allow the president to get away with the collective when its intention of fermenting this conflict remains on punishing but the crime of aggression must not go unpunished. the very internet of order that we have gathered here to uphold is being shredded before our eyes. also on the day women life freedom, a chant echoed in cities across iran. as protests grow over the death of a young woman after being detained by the morality police. here to the it's about the edge but force has never been effective anywhere in the world. and her job should not be a law on ah,
12:04 am
today the un security council met for an extra ordinary session labeled maintenance of peace and security of ukraine. but the reason for the meeting really was that there is no peace in ukraine to be maintained. and was a showdown between the west and russia over a conflict, the likes of which the council was precisely created to avoid. the atmosphere was charged and the russian foreign minister only briefly appeared to give his own skewed vision of things. he missed a scorching condemnation of the atrocities happening at the orders of his boss. the very international order that we have gathered here to uphold, is being shredded before our eyes. we cannot, we will not allow president putin to get away with it. the son of ukraine sovereignty inter twirl, integrity, is about much more than standing up for one nation's right to choose his own path. fundamental is that writers, it's also about protecting an international order,
12:05 am
where no nation can redraw the borders of another by force for 8 years. the cave regime has been conducted. miller has been conducting a military operation against the peaceful civilians. for 8 months, we were waiting for for steps to be taken against impunity in ukraine, and we don't expect anything more from this institution or a whole range of other international institutions. everything i've said today simply confirms that the decision to conduct the special military operation was inevitable. the reports a catalogue of cruelty somebody execution, sex will violence thought to them that you might and the grading treatment against civilians and prisoners of war. all these allegations must be sought only investigated, to ensure accountability. i'll, prior to the 10 security council meeting ukraine's president voluntary zalinski, appeared before the united nations via video link. and he used his speech to demand an international effort to make russia pay
12:06 am
a crime has been committed against ukraine and we demand just punishment. and this is the 1st item of our best formula, comprehensive i've banishment, banishment for the crime of aggression, banishment for violation of borders and territorial integrity. not only new york did letterman fountains move to escalate the war trigger backlash. there's growing all position to the mobilization at home as well. police have arrested more than 1300 people demonstrating against the call up of reservists rights groups report that some detain protesters have been forced to enlist while in custody. now, many especially young men are seizing what they fear, could be their last chance to leave the country making a touchdown in his stumble. just a day after russia announced a military draft,
12:07 am
many russian men are jumping on whatever flight stick and find out of moscow. turkey where arriving russian passengers don't require a visa for entry is a popular choice. the modernization issue, one of the reasons why here. i feel that not really many lots of russians, people want to, to fights and want to be mobilized and want to go to them. so this suit in serbia, where short term russian visitors can also enter visa free. fully packed flights arrived for moscow. as panic has surged demand for one, we flights flights to turkey, serbia, as well as armenian azerbaijan, have entirely sold out reports of a mass exodus. if young men have been downplayed by the kremlin which claims the situation is exaggerated, but those arriving in serbia say the fear of conscription, israel said sir,
12:08 am
or is horrible. so psyche to be afraid to ho war and over such things. so it's hard for everyone. so difficult to switch at the land border with finland, a long queue. russian cars has lined up to cross finland is now russia's last remaining u neighbor that still allows the entry of russian shing and visa holders. but while fin went, prepares to limit or band to entry fresh and taurus and asked flights out of moscow become unavailable. it may be now or never for those wanting to avoid the draft. a european commission spokesperson for migration says e u countries need to find a joint approach on considering asylum for russians fleeing their country to avoid military service. currently you members, states are divided over letting in russian citizens as winters heard finland, which has the longest e u. border with russia has reported an increase an incoming traffic at its border
12:09 am
. the baltic states, estonia, latvia and lithuania, as well as poland. i've implemented tougher restrictions, essentially closing their borders to russians, to the south russian vehicles seeking to cross into non e u. member, georgia are reportedly waiting up to 12 hours to cross and i'm now joined by elliot when a mar, if he's a former member of the russian parliament and to day lives an exile in ukraine. mister point, marv, thanks for being on the day to night. are you surprised to see thousands of people trying to leave russia after this mobilization was announced? i'm not surprised at all. it was very much august that this went delegation will be extremely popular among russians. and that's why it was done for such a long time to actually announce that you will when he did the announcement, he announced that it's like a partial mobilization. what's in fact of this lee?
12:10 am
it's a general ability, a shot so much my bill is ation. it's some of those issues without any significant exemption it's, it's my goal is ation that would affect everyone. and that's what we'll just start seeing on the streets professional seizures. can you elaborate on that a bit? because yesterday it was announced that it would be $300000.00 reservists that would be drawn into service. but there has been the number 1000000 floating around . where does that discrepancy come from and why? why is there such, such, such a confused way of communicating what this actually is this 1000000 is the source in the presidential stuff in moscow. which is, i would say like, i'm all but that's the person who really just despises what's,
12:11 am
what's going on. and the information i think we allow for this morning to be channeled whether 1st publishes information about them. it was published from the same source and in several other media. and that went in paragraph from which and so you can see on the mobility issue that was hebrew, so called are going to 7, which was not published. so obviously that was attributed to the number of the records. and i think the criminal just trying to down please the number about 1000000 is the number that i personally believe and that that attempt to down play the efforts that are starting now. do you attribute them to an attempt to downplay how bad it is going for russia and ukraine? it just say it is very bad, but obviously for religion, which on this, it's
12:12 am
a buying the dissertation. you know, we can now the mobility issues that mean the situation is bad in terms of how bad it is. you know, it doesn't matter whether it's 300 or 3000000 people. what matters is the reaction of the rational society because just statistically, if it is $300.00, you know, what is the probability that i personally will be dropped and if it is one that will run the probability is 3 times higher. that's obviously makes people chic people being drafted against their well people taking to the street. is that really something that that would impress all that much at this point? is more way to go. you know, the question of being impressed. i think he's very much impressed, but ukrainian military has gone so far. it's impressive for lunch, but know what to what is the option for him? he needs to claim victory, of course, because if he is not claiming,
12:13 am
even if it is justice told me he is the person literary. and i think that he understands this clearly and that's why for, for him, you know, he is choosing between 2 evils. and the really doesn't matter what will be the backlash of the rational population. if you just need to win the war or die, you yourself went into exile 8 years ago. what would be your recommendation from people now and trying to flee the country to not be drafted into this war? i didn't go into exile. i was not allowed to come back to my country and that's an important difference because i was never willing to free the country and i think that's right now we need to, we need to put the fight. i don't want to judge anyone who wants to leave, you know, not every by the fighters, but really, you know, i would love to see my trips state whole. and so,
12:14 am
and to put up the fight. and that's exactly what i'm doing in the green, organizing every, by there with rational passports, to be trained with our, to come back to russia and hooked up the fight. all right, i want to talk about something else today. there was a prisoner swap between ukraine and russia, 215, ukrainian, p o w for 55, russian. that's almost for ukrainian soldiers to every russian one. what do you make of that numerical difference? what do you read into it? there was one guy for whom it was done. his name was going to be which is which is relative who happened to be ukranian. and that's why he agreed to such an exchange. so obviously it's a major b, victoria diploma creek, syria for president sky,
12:15 am
just another one where he was getting you all the heroes. so ukraine back fighters from us, all, few people who are really admired by ukraine. so the morale of ukrainian soldiers were origin very high. the be sure is, and how to kick now it's even higher because the understand that the will be care the by the green young states that the agree and states would actually protect them while russia would not at your were the only person in the russian parliament who voted against the annexation of crimea in 2014. how do you feel today about the sham referendums planned this weekend to annex for occupied territories and ukraine? fit in the 2014. as it turned out was a sham. it was complete the mutation of democratic procedure. but right now there
12:16 am
is no limitation. democratic procedure, they would just announce something. and the objective for this is pretty to just, they just needs to have a formal grounds. so next the territory. so to be able to deploy draftees, because by law you can drop cheese on somebody else's soil without declaring war and they need to have a legal context to allow them to be deployed in the so called that yes quarter people republics buy it by announcing them the russian to river, this is as simple as that. and the right now they don't care for legitimacy. but when you create your own rule, hard core of russian bathroom, you know, so people who are for the war, even those guys that are against the decision because they understand that the way it's been done,
12:17 am
it would never be legitimate. this would never be because nice legitimate x and the, the whole russian state hold would be below the park by the decisions like this. any point. and laura, he's a russian opposition politician currently in ukraine. thank you so much for your time tonight. thanks. good rounds president ever aim, racy says he has ordered an investigation into the death of a 22 year old woman who was arrested by the country's morality police for allegedly not wearing her head scarf properly. rice. he also said that there was freedom of expression in iran, but the country's intelligent ministry has issued a warning that anyone attending unauthorized gatherings would face arrest protests against the killing are spreading across iran, images of unrest from a number of cities or reaching the outside world. despite interruptions to internet
12:18 am
service reported on thursday, oh, week into the protests, raining government seems no closer to getting control of the situation. a stream of footage is emerging from cities around the country protest as confronting the security forces over the death last week of mass armine, the chance here i'll kill whoever killed my sister. ah, there's no reliable information on how many people have died, but it's clear members of the security forces have been killed as well as protesters. but as the cell model, according to unofficial statistics, unfortunately, 17 people present at the scene and placement have lost their lives in what happened over recent days. the relevant officials will announce official figures will under matter, will take alarm hans yet. but as the protest dragon hotline is in the establishment, a threatening a tougher response, the revolutionary guard has called them a conspiracy of the enemy and deserted judiciary to prosecute any one involved
12:19 am
protests in favor of the job. i've been called for friday and we can now bring an alley for the land. is that a political scientist? the focus is on iran is also the author of the book, iran in an emerging new world order of mr. his aunt get to see. these are unprecedented protests when she say this is a watershed moment for iran. well, it certainly is, although we have seen also dramatic outpourings of popular rage against the entire regime over the last few years in the last half a decade. but this time around, this is also quite, you know, quite novel in that, that there are, you see, i have the presence of the use of women and of students, but also for members of the middle and lower classes. so you see, you know, you see a revolt against the regime that has its social base with,
12:20 am
which is a bit wider than in previous protests. the protests were triggered, of course, by the death of my son. i mean, but it does look like the anger has been brewing on many levels for quite some time doesn't yes, definitely. so this is only only been the spark. so the had job issue and the, and the depth and the murder one should say, of mass. i mean, he has been all the dis, park. and which led to people expressing, you know, accumulated a contempt against the non republic as a whole. because after all, for over 40 years, the rulers in iran have not been able to provide iranians with dissent, socio economic and political life. so iran is still a dictatorship. and so the elite is only looking after itself with the bulk
12:21 am
of the popular of the population being associate, economically deprived, and also suffering from the lack of the most essential human and citizen right. now the regular means of the oppression don't seem to work this time around today. people are not deterred, even though they're facing violence from the authorities, internet restrictions, intimidation. why do you think that is? well, because 1st of all, the rage is so stark among the people so, so this is an outpouring of against the entirety of the regime and but the means of violence, the means of repression has been the same as in the past. so which is using definitely violence of why the security forces against the protesters and also shutting down the internet and shutting down essential mobile services,
12:22 am
which is currently the case in iran, especially today. and in such circumstances, of course, the regime could again go on a brutal cracked sound like the one that he saw in november 2019 during the last nationwide on pricing. that saw 1500 people killed in a week's time during the internet shut down. the president, where you see has announced an investigation into the death of me. what do you expect to come out of? i think the serious observer can say that such a pledges are credible because of the very history of the authorities looking into such cases, there is no rule of law in the wrong. there is no independent judiciary. so the statement of a c cannot be considered a serious at all, and i believe that no one considers it serious in the wrong. thank you very much
12:23 am
for that analysis. futrell on a shot around expert and political scientists. thank you. ah, and international court has upheld the genocide conviction of the last surviving senior member of cambodia as brutal compare rouge regime. q some fun who is 91 years old now served as head of state and the communist square root between 975 and 79. he will continue to serve the remainder of his life in prison after the un back tribunal rejected his appeal against his 2018 conviction. his her is only the 3rd conviction the court could manage in 16 years. and after having spent $337000000.00 officially called the extraordinary chambers in the courts of cambodia, it was tasked with trying the crimes of the queer rose. and now it's work is done
12:24 am
here to bear witness. as the chapter closes on cambodia, violent past, survivors of the come, a rouge were among those who attended the final verdict. for the last living leda of the regime, the court rejected k o some funds appeal and upheld the 91 year olds conviction for genocide. this is in today made by the supreme court chemba a some new milestone border e. c. c, for the mission, bring to sir, and just these for do with the multi commodity reaching and also the see the weakening of the n l e c. c c, out to 60 years. it's the last rolling for the tribunal that was set up to prosecute leaders of the come a rouge. but the un backed court has been widely criticized. i think you and wanted so badly for this court to succeed,
12:25 am
that they were willing to overlook. evidence, a political interference at long the tribunal has convicted just 3, come a rouge latest and at a cost of more than $330000000.00 us dollars. the verdict marks the end of the international push for justice. but many survivors say they will never forgive or forget young blood young, but as i cannot forget, the suffering young mike, my back was wounded balm. i could not forget you because i still feel the pain. i will feel the pain until i die, blah, blah. the command rouge grabbed power in 1975 there violent reforms targeted intellectuals and ethnic minorities and millions of people were sent to labor camps . the regime only lasted for years, but during that time around $2000000.00 cambodians died from starvation, torture,
12:26 am
or in mass executions. in what came to be known as the killing fields. cayo some fun served as head of state in the coma rouge regime. yo la, my mom le let me will not forgive k you some fun ally and if we forgive him, the younger generation will follow him again. the tribunal's final rolling has brought some closure for survivors. but with so few come of rouge laid is facing justice. it's a small comfort for a country still scarred by genocide. ah, finally to night, the icon in the hollywood sign in los angeles is getting a face lift in time for it's $100.00 the anniversary workers will be splashing on around $1500.00 leaders of paint and rust pro venture to freshen up the 15 meter high letters the original sign was 1st put up in 1923 re painting. it is usually
