arguments to keep the animals a documentary series about the future of food with the great debate this week on t w. ah, ah, this is g w. news live from berlin to night, wanted for war crimes and international arrest warrant issued for russia's president vladimir putin. the international criminal court in the hague says that fulton is responsible for illegal deportations of ukrainian children to russia. also coming up turkey's president finally approving finland's bid to join nato rich

apply. a bear to one announced the move after talked with the finished president in ankara. and now the question is, what about sweden? ah, i'm burn golf. it's good to have you with it's on this friday. the international criminal court in the hague has issued an arrest warrant for rushes. president vladimir potent. the court said that the warrant was issued over alleged war crimes committed in ukraine. footnote suspected to have been involved in the unlawful deportation of children from occupied areas of ukraine to russia. the kremlin has dismissed the allegations. it has called the i. c. c's warn't meaningless. the charges are the says that the i c. c has even laid against the heat of a permanent member of the you insecurity council,

russian president vladimir putin and his commissioner for children's rights. and now wanted for war crimes. there alleged to have been responsible for ukrainian children being forced from the occupied cities and seemed to live in russia. judges f reviewed the information and evidence submitted by the prosecutor and determined that the debt are credible allegation against dees persons for the alleged crimes. dicey c is doing it's part of work as a court of law. the judges ation arrest warrants the execution depends on international cooperation. the charge is being welcomed in ukraine, where officials have been sounding the alarm for months. while he is older, they are suspect in the illegal forced transfer of ukrainian children. this means that from now until his arrest president of russia as the head of a terrace,

his tid will be afraid to travel outside russia because of the possibility that he will be extradited to the international criminal court. russia is not a member of the i. c, c, and has no legal obligation to cooperate with it. moscow's rejection of the charges came quick and fast portions, pre secret tracy, the decision was null, and void, former president dmitri mid. that if compete the respond to toilet paper, while the charges i get another condemnation of puritans invasion, they're unlikely to bring any swift justice, a ukrainian children in russia. i asked a war professor, yvonne mcdermott, reese what consequences the court's decision could possibly have for russia president put yeah, i think the biggest consequence of, say, surf makes an error. his cut a, get maria, and above and below that he's been and also subject to an arrest. foreign see say,

the biggest consequence for them is that it becomes more difficult to travel internationally. so the international criminal court has a 123 state parties. and now, every single one of them is under an obligation to transfer peace n, or am the children's commissioner to the court in the hague to stand trial. and should he travel to any of those countries? and that includes, you know, strategic allies of russia, includes most countries in all countries, in europe and south america, a lot of countries in africa. so, and of course, you know, the, the responses to be exact as like, we're not a pyre seats this course, we'll recognize that. but i think they inherently ed conversations of the, i guess this is sad, this has consequences. you're in the criminal, we expect you that the crim with to just dismiss it completely. but the can't

dismiss the fact that these, this arrest war has been issued after lots of work has been done in gathering evidence. right. and you talk to me a little bit about what has gone in to the i c c being at a point where it feels like it can legally issue an arrest warrant yet. so. and in order to issue new restaurants, of course, has to be satisfied that there are reasonable grounds to believe that declines and i had something come a says. so it's not proof beyond read the desire, which ultimately has to be proven at the lower standard of proof, but it's still a significant one. i, i think what's really notable that by dates at particular is students of their restaurant is the fact that it's almost implied that there are, there is either that hot, finra issued under thiel or the are coming down in the truck because the fact that the effects we were going to keep this an under wraps ad, but we thought of it's important to prevent future kinds of this nature to make it known that this there as far into exist for these particular kinds. i do wonder,

are there other theories, restaurants either i there or are in process and the prosecutor has been, you know, he's relatively new in the job, but ukraine has been in the big area of focus for him since taking over the prosecutor at the i see see, he's been there, i think 4 times alleged thousands of pages of evidence and related to various kinds, not just these particular crimes of the force of the transfer of children, but other crimes war crimes, crimes against humanity under the statues. possibly even genocide and i, i just noticed that the roof foreign today that was issued was issued for flood report, but also for russia's commissioner for children's rights to a woman. and i'm wondering if she is on this warrant arrest warrant is as well because the chances of actually physically arresting her in the eyes of the i. c. c may be, are more realistic. i mean, is, is that maybe

a line of thinking that went in to the issuing of this arrest warrant? i think the reason she's the restaurant has been issued against her is that the evidence is, is pretty overwhelming. you know, there is a recording that there of her talking about her own adoption of the child's from one of these occupied cherry trees. her office has been allegedly responsible for this whole program of transferring ukrainian children and to russian families. and, and, you know, one of the big challenges of international criminal trials is proof evidence and proof of this. and it might seem like in the, in the big context of things it's, it's surprising in the sense that, that the scope of the restaurant is quite narrow. and his focus just as far as we know, oh, just on the tooth pipa. i bought it, it seems like the prosecutor has maybe made a strategic decision by saying we've got some really strong evidence on these and

this is what we're going to lead off with and perhaps issue some more against these people and other than the peachcare. well, professor yvonne mcdermott rece, we appreciate your time and your valuable insights tonight. thank you. thank you. turkey's president, richard roy, a better one is finally agreed to finland, joining nato at once. okay, hosty still need to be ratified of course of turkey's parliament, but it clears one of finland's last hurdles to join the military alliance, hungary ismael. the only thing to remember which has not approved the nordic countries bid, but rainy day in, and kara, has a piece of good news for hanson key at the presidential palace lodge up. they a bad one, greeted the finish president. turkey has been in the spotlight for dragging its feet in the ratification process. each new move to the other. he thought that in

we've seen that finland has taken sincere and concrete steps to fulfill their commitments under the trilateral memorandum. they didn't make yolanda agatha and considering the sensitivity demonstrated and measure eliminate our country's security concerns of her and the progress, and that has been achieved. vicki falling that she has invasion of ukraine. fin, leonard, sweden applied for natural membership. all 30 nato members must edify the applications. unlike finland, sued and must continue to wait for the approval from turkey by lumen of all those that finland president welcomed decision and repeated his dance that suit and must join nato, nato membership. i have a feeling gotta finish nato membership is not complete without her sweden. we have so much common interest having her being to really neighbor santa having in the baltic sea area on our sure.

so i would like to see in real news that we really need to the alley us over 32 members. edwin's criticism of sweden became more pressing as turkey's next elections are approaching. critics off add on say he wants to win support from his nationalist waters. so when will turkeys, parliament give the green white to finland? i put that question, judy w's, terry shopped in brussels. all those things are important now that the biggest obstacle, what was believed to be the biggest obstacle turkeys disapproval of both finish and swedish membership, is now unblocked for finland. it will move quickly for helsinki. so president air to one today said he would like to see this ratified by the turkish parliament

before elections in turkey. in may, hungary has said it will also approve within the next month or 2, they keep changing the date. so i hesitate to believe exactly which day hungary will ratify, they had said they would do it before christmas. but in any case, this is due to happen within the next couple of months, and then it will move very quickly, president nina. so he said he would like to wrap it up on their side before the next parliament is electric, but that's the 1st week of april. so yeah, we're not exactly sure how the timeline will go, but it will move quickly. now this really is a tale of 2 countries, isn't it? we're talking about finland and we also have to talk about sweeten, do we have any idea of when or to one when turkey will say yes to sweden's bit. now as good as the news was for helsinki today, it was very bad for sweden air to one said they're standing next to president me, mr. that sweden embraces terrorist. this is the kind of thing he's been saying about stock home ever since they launched their bids last may. now he believes that

the swedish government is far too lax on kurdish groups that oppose air to one that he considers enemies. and also perhaps more significantly on the p k k which is labeled terrorist group by every, every country in the u including finland and sweden. the difference really has been that in sweden, it is not illegal to burn a korean and that's exactly what happened in january that would not happen in finland. and so this is one of the big reasons why finland has moved ahead. there was to results reporting different brussels. there were too much was seen among supporters of former pakistani prime minister in ron con. today if he attended a court hearing in the hort supporters of the former cricket player and former prime minister mopped his cards. he traveled to the court house. khan had been refusing to leave his home until a warrant for his arrest was lifted. dozens of cases have been filed against conscience. he was removed from office by parliament last year. he has denied any wrong doing. w reporter, venus yahveh asked, brawn con,

what solution he could offer to solve pakistan's political crisis. there was already only one solution, free and fair elections. the reason why that is a political ok. all right, going by august on because we have a government which is phase completely and has driven, i gone him into the ground. we have the worst economic crisis in our history of 75 years. we have unprecedented inflation. we have a contracting economy with unemployment roy. we actually have no hope with this government because there is no political stability, those why chronic stability. so all we want is, and the supreme court by the way, as order elections to be on the 30th of april. and these, the government is trying to get out of elections. the problems are because the government knows that a body that is 120 out of 37 by elections. they're scared that we will see the

elections, hence, they're trying to get out of it. and the other worry is the deadline to create a situation of dos. this could easier lead to cost of the way that, you know, a doc, my house from 3 sides as if i was some terrorist. so if, if this leads to gail's, it would suit the government because they already tried to get out of the elections despite the supreme court orders on the 30th of april. and that was iran con speaking to the w news or something, a little lighter irish people and those who love them are celebrating st. patrick's day festivities in dublin kicked off with the parade. marching bands and acrobats and a see a green which we know was ireland. national color, the party in dublin was also a chance to show how global irish society has become. revelers included south american folk dancers, ukrainians, now living in ireland due to the war and l g, b,
