a thank you very much. that was right. as journalists trust, the need them in camera, australia. thank you. now on the trial against us, journalist 7 gaskin which has begun behind closed doors in the russian city of you a catherine bird. the reporter for the wall street journal is accused of spying for the us and could face up to 20 years in prison if found guilty, he and his employer denied the charges of to move in a year under arrest. russia is now putting evan gosh corvettes on trial. the 2 year old john list was detained in march. 2023 were reporting in the city of your cutting book, according to his employer. the wall street journal russian prosecutors alleged gosh, could, which was collecting secret information from a tank factory for the c. i a gosh,

cubits denied the charges. so to his family employer, the white house you say he was wrongfully detained, of this espionage charges are ridiculous. the targeting of american citizens by russian government is unacceptable. we condemn the detention of mister goose coverage in the strongest in the strongest terms. gosh, could, which is the son of soviet emigres and grew up in new jersey. he moved to russia in 2017 to work. there was a correspondent, the wall street journal. hi to him in 2022 desk of issues. the 1st american john this to be jailed and russian espionage charges since the soviet era. despite strange relations us and russian officials have indicated that talks on going about releasing gosh, because it's in a prison, this will go. but the us and russia have not yet reached an agreement. in an interview, in february of this year, vladimir putin indicated he wants to swamp gas,

give it to the russian hit my sentence to life imprisonment in germany for muttering a chechen distant impulse in 2019. it's a specific government, which is somebody to go to some ex but say the trial could help bring the negotiations forward. it's a very unfortunate situation all around, but this may be a glimmer of hope in his adventure all coming home because this trial will establish the verdicts and russian injustice needs to see a verdict and a case before i believe that they're willing to do some negotiation for whatever might be the outcome, but by making the trial secret while she is hiding his case away from the public. well for gosh, of which the uncertainty continues. sketch up on a few other stories making headlines today. russian prisoners of war have returned home in captivity in ukraine lane with 90 soldiers on board arrived in moscow early

on wednesday morning. it's the biggest exchange between the countries in almost 5 months. united or hemerich is said to be a mediator in exchange process. nato has a personally announced outgoing dodge prime minister mark router as it's next secretary general. he will take over from you in stoughton bag on the 1st of october. some of the biggest challenges for the 2 will be brushes, ongoing war and ukraine, and uncertainty over the us as future commitment to the alliance. the taiwan says it's coast guard chased away chinese naval vessels from waters off one of its islands. the incident is part of what taiwan calls chinese harassment and it has escalated, trying to use the democratically govern island as a break away problems and says, unification is inevitable. meanwhile, a hypersonic mis launched by north korea as exploded mid flight. the launch was in

apparent retaliation to the us, deploying a nuclear powered aircraft carrier to the region to take part in military drills with south korea and japan. official said the miss i'll blew up off the north korean coast close to the city of one sun. this comes as the us begins, it's military, exercises with this is the the w's east asia correspondent, james chaser reports now on what's behind these exercises this month. the coast guards of south korea, japan and the united states in lock step. during drills in east asian waters. the 3 countries have recently held mold joint exercises during closer in the face of been increasingly a set of china and unpredictable north korea. now the military ties a set of teeth and further this week the nuclear power to us aircraft carrier. this

theodore roosevelt dalton, south korea, heads of the freedom edge exercises the 1st multi domain drills between the 3 nations. that means exercises across different military units, like a c uh cyber space. uh, the intent is uh to improve the interoperability between our navies. and the intent is to ensure that we are ready to respond to any crisis or contingency should preparing for any crisis has been made more context by the russia and a career last week. inks, a new strategic partnership, including a mutual defense project, wanting concerns, mosca could supply petroleum with intelligence 1st, weapons programs. if 2 leaders came german and flooded him, if he said, you know, he said in a position to us, i did say she allied sweetness towards it. but it's where we see what is happening in asia, and that's always a blog is for me. was that now you have always already moving to asia,

as if to what time and place of residence. this of course, creates a threat to all countries in the region including russia. definitely, we are obliged to respond to this and we'll see some folks to us and it's of the series blame each other for stoking confrontation. was that testing the limits of alliances in asia? in these drills the us wants to ensure that itself and its partners already come, come and our correspond. james trader who filed a report joint just now from taiwan is capital type pay. james, before we get to the drills, tell us a bit more about this latest nor 3, and miss l. it's absolutely sorry about japanese officials say this miss sile through to an altitude of 100 kilometers, flying a range of some 200 kilometers before he exploded. in mid air of the east coast of north korea, sol says they believe this miss old ones. the high facility can be silent,

but it was using solid fuel in violation of many un resolutions against north korea is weapons programs. and just to reiterate why that is often so much concerned about young young developing this type of weaponry, hypotonic missiles travel at a normal speed, some 5 times the speed of sound, and often have very high maneuverability. so the concern is often that if nor courier is able to develop this type of weaponry that they can evade the missile defense systems currently in place in both south korea and the united states. this isn't the 1st time this. north korea has tested the hypersonic, michelle, we saw north korea saying that it had tested a similar type of missile earlier this year. excellent. so do caution that north korea looks like it hasn't quite been able to get to the point where they could use this type of weaponry effectively in combat, but still are struggling development on the korean peninsula. now north korea's missile launch comes as the us south korea and japan launch joint military exercises in the region. what can we expect from these drills, james,

as well, just to make sure these drills have solely begun yet, we're expecting them to begin before the end of june. so in the coming days, we're likely to get confirmation of these assaults and but these drills will be the 1st time the 3 countries of the us, japan and south korea of health, military drills across a range of different submitted treat domain. so we're expecting to see me to change roles in the underwater and also inside the wolf or at least and what this is really a combination of business deepening partnership between these 3 countries which was initiated. and that's his storage attempt. david summits in washington between the leaders of the 3 countries in august last year that so me to tell them me the deep concerns about china's ambitions in the, in the new pacific. but also of course, the unpredictability of north korea. what we're seeing now is the crystallization of those assets and just to, to may tear another symbol of that deepening partnership between the us and south

korea on choose day before this us and across carry a less the south korean points. a bruce on you thought you all the south korean president boynton, doug vessel, the 1st time in 3 decades assisting south korean president has set foot on the us across cargo. james, thank you very much. that was our course by james chase. were there in taipei even national criminal court in the hague has convicted, malicious leader, l, her son of the aziz, for war crimes and crimes against humanity in multi now faces up to life imprisonment when he is settings at a later date. prosecution focused it's case mainly around charges of crimes against humanity relating to gender based models. so judy, at present, during the 3 years of his trial hearings, i'll have some i do as these have sat silently showing almost no expression. the 13 charges against him involve torture, rape, sexual slavery, forced marriages,

persecution, and the destruction of historic monuments in $10.00 to the capital of molly. according to his indictments, the 46 year old was the head of an islamic police division in an extremist, a militant group which seized power. and molly, in 2012 they enforced a strict version of serial until they were driven night by french policies. in 2013, during the trial proceedings prosecute to show judges evidence. they said proved our house on ordered floggings and beatings of residence of tim buck, 2 who refused to comply with religious rules. oh, house on never pleaded, in this case, refusing even to onto the charges of guilty or not guilty, medical public with no problem of a 2000 victims were represented by legal teams in the hague. his defense lawyers had tried to get the case throw night alleging i'll have son himself being

subjected to torture. joining interviews taken while he was detained in molly, which we used in this trial. it's significant for the international criminal court . this is the 1st time where the central feature of the prosecution's case was the use of gender based filings as a crime against humanity. and dw is correspond to jack perk of the file that report is in the hague, joins us now. he's been following this trial. jack, the court has convicted the malia militia leader. what more can you tell us about the court's decision? the u. n. d. so actually the judgment in this verdict is still being read. it is taking quite a lot longer than i've experienced when i've followed verdicts here at the international criminal court in the past. but we do know as the presiding judge to, i'm into a reads this to evaluate died that he has been convicted on kinds of war crimes and crimes against humanity,

the public being red dives. and the way that the presiding judge is doing it is explaining specific situations where all of a sudden is accused of torturing, of ordering floggings in public squares in each individual situation is being explained. situations like the agitation of, of one victims on. we don't know exactly how many kinds and charges he will be convicted of just yet, but we do know that he will be convicted on more crimes and crimes against humanity . as i said in the report, he never even pled guilty or not guilty in this case. i'll have son who's been sucked in the court room today in tyler reg dressed, his arms folded across his chest, looking relatively just interested still as his being the hallmark of his presence in the court room here at the international criminal court to write this case. so the verdict is still being read out of this trial took 3 years. jack, why so low?

well actually, that's a relatively, a sort of average time for the international criminal court, perhaps a little bit longer. but that has been a delay in the verdict. specifically, the case was sort of finished, the trial was done because one of the, one of the judges was, was sick and essentially wasn't able to come into the court room to read the case. these cases do take a long time. the law is for those to defend the prosecution and the law is representing the victims who have many opportunities to present the case. the side of the story as the case goes forward and that as i say, there are multiple instances that are represented in these cases. all of these individual cases where that has been a public flogging, often times that with video showing of that, whether it was a force or marriage, each of those victims gets represented and gets to speak. so international justice

cases, especially criminal justice cases, just simply do take a long time. could this bird a jack have implications for future cases involving gender based violence as a crime against humanity or yeah, definitely. i think what's really interesting is how the prosecution really circulated this whole case arrive about issue, especially of the crimes that were committed against women in 10 book to but also against the cultural heritage in, in the, in the malia and capital, which has so much such a rich kind of cultural heritage that was destroyed by on dean and the other 2 had his that were connected to our house on himself. i think was also interesting in this case is not just that this is the central figure, but also how particular they are being a, by reading at these convictions here with the international criminal court, the number of convictions have been overturned on appeal. also i'll have some will have that opportunity himself to do that. and it's clear that the judge is wants to

be very, very clear on why they are putting forward these convictions, why they are hunting down these convictions and that they will want them to be upheld on a pill. if the, the defense does decide to go to that stage, which, which very often happens here at the i c. c. jack. thank you very much for your reporting. our correspondent jack. perfect. the, in the hey it's now to india and it's capital city. daily husband, facing its worst, he'd wave in decades as climate change takes, its toll temperatures in parts of northern india hit, a blistering 48 degrees celsius last week. the intense heat is resulting in health issues and fatalities. and it's even more difficult for people who are living on the streets daily have been like a furnace for 2 months. the government has told people to stay indoors if they can

. but mom with if the car has no other choice than to be out on the streets, she has been staying on the pavement with his wife and children. he is one of the houses which i will do daily from all over the country every year to get affordable medical treatment at ease to stop most government costs to defend many end up living on the street outside because they are unable to afford any of those communities and i've never seen the kind of hate i'm seeing now. it's the reason i don't go out looking for work very often and i just focus on getting the treatment and taking care of my children. if the guard on his advice i hear because they chose the chief mental scheme disorders, but staying in the heat has made matters worse. have literally times have developed boys on disk. and then now getting treated for the i to this is shaping up to be the longest and the teeth we have that we have seen in the last 74 years exposed to

lots of using this to what do you need one soon and the end you know phenomena in a box from getting regular has advisories to people. the government, visio also directed hospitals to provide, especially share. so he's still fishes drummond over new york. another government wants to them, denny has created a heat to image in see delta human to seek treat. does that on days of the cheat, the gets several patients when the beat them mostly be required to work outdoors like construction, laborers or security guards. these are the most common symptoms that vision is that move on. she is having a lot of body them visually amazing. it can be as high as 100. 61 are 7 degrees fahrenheit. the water is equipped with a motion, cooling technology, a rapid ice and rating machine, and lot, 7 mixed up in which heat stroke patients are done in ice cold water to bring down their body temperature. dr. seek recess in a heat stroke situation, which was sort of organ, female rapids pulling up the body is the only way to save life. this kind of

a situation that happened for the 1st time. and that the, we know very explanation. many such patients are coming to us in large numbers. we have never seen such a number in the preceding years. if the car bring systems out of the seas, the slight change in where the light trains in the city has brought temporarily to lease but also incense humidity. the if it gets too hot for us, we either go and take shelter in the so by train station, over the ongoing side, the hospital we're trying to manage to protect our kids. somehow it's a benefit. if the car says he prays to god every day for his children to get better . so he can either go back to his village or stop looking for work. he'll activate to be able to afford a shelter to protect them, to come to any with them. just get more on this now from environmentalist, chandra bu, shawn. he joins us from delhi, thanks for being with us. especially on can you explain to us why india has been

experiencing such high temperatures? a combination of factors global warming, warming obviously is the primary reason of, you know, last year it was one of the hottest deals under thought, reaching about 1.5 degrees celsius from pre industrial level. that's the level of warming globally last year, a little back to the 2nd highest, one listed on record in india as well. then there was a legal and there is a dual impact of and they know that that we have ceiling and lost the. the effect is i believe, does he diamond dislike? is there is a combination of global warming el nino and looking back those. uh, because uh it does have been getting heat in the city and it was uh, the longest as i go to photo said 2014, the b a is possibly the longest on recall. since we started recording the temperature in the country and we're seeing the fatalities there in the indian

capital, what is the government in india doing to help people deal with these unbearably hot temperatures? frankly, i was expecting much more for data these than what actually happened. and one of the reason was that the hospitals wouldn't be able to put systems in place very quickly. and the other good thing that happened was that there was a mass of this on heat. and uh, people stopped working outside building big got, you know, hot. i hate my beak, ours, which has also saved lives. so the sort of good things that has happened is that people are a bad debate about the problem of the been able to put together a hospital interest up to a very quickly of just same lives. but to still be have last couple of 100100 of people doing this. he said it could happen was us and the the could be more heat,

i guess still is a calm no heat waves have been hitting many parts of asia. pakistan is currently experiencing also extreme heat. what can be affected countries in the region to the policy level to address these recurring extreme weather events? frankly, heat. the baby is hitting across the what you, i just saw a picture of a backs uh statue of abraham lincoln, basically in washington. because the temperature was 40 degrees celsius. and that is expected to get in proteins which is which is very high. so far apart in london, you know, doesn't have to can position the heat that is going to hit every one across the what i don't think even for the countries that are going to be saved, then it'd be be done in the van when europe is going to get to watch the degrees and your euro is not actually designed for that seat. somebody indians of indian

architect is. europe is not. so i don't think that the focus we should be, they should be focusing on on asia. because we are looking at 50 degrees. debbie, debbie got the budget of $49.00 degrees celsius, but they should also be worried about even for the countries says the loss of lives there could be much higher because you're not at the limit dice to that kind of temperature. so it's a global issue we all need to worry about. ringback the all need to prepare to vote because it's going to hit us this. you have to be even more warmer than last year. i thought it's good that bridget is concerned, and next you have to be even though long. so i think we now have to start thinking about not only, you know, saving lives, but also poorly, not cities. they need to get better because he duction planned for us to be an idiot. chandra bush on environmentalist and deli, thank you so much. thank you very much. i as
