the darfur trial started yesterday. 20 years after the crimes themselves were committed. 200,000 dead, one lone defendant as the "new york times" put it. is that realistically how long it takes to go from the gathering of evidence to actually presenting the evidence and having a trial like this? >> well, it shouldn't. i think the reality is we need to recognize that justice is patient and justice could wait but we don't want to wait 20 years. chuck, i was part of the determination of the genocide in -- or indicators of genocide in darfur under the leadership of powell and president bush at the time and we had hoped that justice would be achieve quickly but not 20 years later. >> does a war -- is it worth having the trial if the leader of that country is no longer walking this earth? >> well, i think it is important to document exactly what has taken place. let's say whether it is putin or someone else, if they are no longer walking in earth, as you say, it is still important that the societies come to terms with the past. because in order to prevent future atrocities, people need to u

we are seeing significant demand to grow commodity exposure and darfur five. that diversify. this will not abate anytime soon, and we are seeing demand pickup in gold. march was a record month for gold etf flows. francine: is gold still a good hedge? karim: it is good when you about its diversification and safe haven properties. it tends to do well when geopolitical risk is high, and also in high inflationary regimes. it has properties because it is physicals that other assets do not. it is not good in all inflationary regimes, but it is good in high inflation. francine: how do you see the oil story in china playing out? kristine: initially, the prices were propped up by the geopolitical risk that was playing out in the russia and ukraine war. there was that initial spike. but now it is more for the state of demand. particularly when you take into account what is happening in china. those lockdowns bringing into question how demand is going to look especially heading into the crucial summer months. and when we see the kind of potential, demand destruction or at the very least

from the nazi holocaust to cambodia to rwanda to darfur to congo to sudan to syria to myanmar, to thety and barbarity in ukraine is leaving in its wake a series of atrocities, war crimes. and yes, president biden called it genocide. without many good options, frankly, for preventing what is going to be large numbers of civilian deaths and injuries during the course of this next phase of the russian campaign in ukraine. and i wrote that piece because i was increasingly frustrated by the gap between our words, "never again," and our actions. i said i thought it's not never again at all. it's ever, ever again. >> yeah, and it has been disappointing. and we have shameful proof of the failure. in the last month, 96-year-old boris remachenko was killed by a russian strike in kharkiv. he was holocaust survivor, and in a tweet, they quoted him by his very words as a survivor quoting the buchwald oath, saying "creating a new world where peace and freedom reign." this does not look like a place where peace and freedom reign. what does it tell us that in 2022 a survivor of multiple death camps d

violence, children are recruited as soldiers in the neighboring nation of suited an which includes darfuranistan, as you know, is now under taliban rule and lastly, syria with russian and iranian support have sustained the assad regime and there are military there that oppose that regime. they're both committing genocidal war crimes daily. all of these countries are under a genocide emergency watch. now look what happens when you add all of the countries that are under a genocide warning, meaning that the genocidal process has reached the stages of preparation by perpetrators. ukraine is under a genocide warning, not an emergency because the reports were conducted in 2021, before the invasion. president biden has fallen short of accusing russia of genocide in ukraine and it cannot accuse another country of the gravest crime against humanity and not doing anything about it and we are bearing witness of unthinkable horrors being unleashed in ukrainians because of who they are. when you can't or don't bear witness, when our microphones can't get in to see it the death happens in the darkness

from the nazi holocaust to cambodia to rwanda to darfur to syria to myanmar to the uyghurs and now, and now, not in a far away place, in one of the most transparent military campaigns in modern history, war crimes atrocities and genocide is taking place. look, you refer to it in your initial assumption, the united states has taken military action and direct military intervention by american forces, no-fly zone, even flying combat missions off the table. and the only way to prevent mass atrocity, mass killing, genocide, once it begins, is through the direct intervention with force. no one is recommending, certainly not in the biden administration, it is understandable given as you suggested the risks and the escalatory risks of nuclear confro confrontation. we're left in a twilight zone with mass killings, mass atrocities, and the longer this goes on in eastern ukraine, the more transparent, the more we'll find the human toll has been extraordinary. i just don't think the international community has the will, the cohesion, or in this particular case the notion that the intervene risks wa

you look at the former sudanese president, charged for genocide in darfur, he's sitting in jail. former liberian president charles taylor ran off to what he thought was a comfortable retirement in nigeria, is now convicted in the hague. you never know where this goes. you hope putin is learning about this because this is a way of deterring future atrocities. bucha is a city of 30,000 people. it's relatively small. but mariupol has 430,000 people. >> yes. >> what we worry about is that these kinds of atrocities are being replicated in mariupol. we know there's a siege there and indiscriminate bombardment. we don't know how russian troops on the ground are behaving and this should be notice to the kremlin to rein in those russian troops so they don't repeat these atrocities in other places where ukrainian civilians are under russian occupation. >> kenneth roth, thank you so much for your time tonight. appreciate it. >> thank you. >>> let's go to nbc's ali arouzi who's live for us on the ground in lviv, ukraine. ali, we're seeing all these horrific images out of bucha. what more can

military and militias were committing specific acts of violence against members of non-arab groups in darfur. and the secretary of state at the time determined that was a genocide in we worked with the icc and un securityy council to hold accountable. i would note there is historic reference. think about the timeline of this historic reference for that is also important because that was 2004, and it is just starting now. so it takes time. now it doesn't always take that amount of time. but just, you know, as you're looking at the history. right now, there are a number of efforts already underway to hold any russians accountable for atrocities and war crimes. overer the past few weeks, we established investigations through the un human rights council and the osce of possible violations by russia. we are also supporting the work of the war crimes unit under the office of ukrainian prosecutor general and a team of international prosecutors who are working with them and also supporting ukraine's authorities and civil society organizations who are working on the ground to document atrocity crimes

and if you look back to 2004, we also provided the data and information to the icc investigation of darfur. so there is past president even if we haven't been members of the icc. >> a couple of follow-ups. when the president said that the u.s. was training ukrainians, was he talking about training that had occurred during his administration? >> i don't have any other additional details. what he was making the point about is what secretary alston said yesterday, which is without the extensive and robust military assistance we have provided, the ukrainians would not have been able to effectively fight and push ell as cloture on the scotus nomination. but first, i ask unanimous consent that the senate consider -- to reconsider be considered made and laid upon the table, that any statements related to the nominations be printed in the record, and the president will be immediately notified on the senate's actions, and the senate resume legislative session. the presiding officer: without objection. the question occurs on the knowledge nations en-- the nominations en bloc. all those in favor say
