you do not have international law. you have the u. s. big status. international law. so the problem, the problem is that the national law does not work and everybody's trying to actually make it work. russia is trying to make it work chinese trying to make it work. but the u. s. i think it's, they're really interested in making it work because it's because international law may make russia right on some issues may make china right. and somebody here and i don't think the u. s. is likes to be told that it's not right. or some of the issues and a couple of words about democracy. sure, it's not as powerful as it was before, but no actually has any alternative. china, but not constant tucker system in russia does not have done. i don't know traditional value summit. so that's where the us actually seems to have the upper hand. i need to have something to show for it for a while while we don't. and i think that international law is something that may help us driving forward, but i don't think until the us is taken off. it's purch asked a so super power or, or and until it

about international humanitarian law. the struggle we face today is between the rights of states and rights of people in those states to realize their full potential. clearly, china and russia are champions of sovereignty and they put states rights ahead of the rights of individuals. is that the world we want to live in? is that a formula for development, peace, and security? those kinds of abuses will ultimately backfire and destabilize russia and china in the u.s. should support victims by expressing solidarity and developing policies that push back against tyranny. anchor: when you are talking about pushing back, you sound a little like [indiscernible] wanted to push back the tide. we are talking two big countries who the u.s. has had a tense relationship with because it cannot as easily influence it as it can the european union, the u.k. when you say push back, what are the tools to push back with? >> there are many tools at the disposal of the u.s. and international community, including sanctions against individuals,

this is all the international rose based order. so in treaties all the, all that, so this is, this is for this, you are now criticizing germany. let me also turn around and say on, on your credit, you know, we started with this, you know, on ukraine. we had, this is part of the route space international order. we have no a rush or guarantee certainty and integrity of ukraine, and you gave up its nuclear weapons in return. and then russia, ukraine, despite the fact that this was a good of this memorandum, was by transmitted to the security council for or that was a lot. today, the foreign minister in russia is, i know, every day ambassador, you make it sound as if a russia, as you said, invaded the ukraine because it had nothing to do. but you know that the security situation in your crane, i was very intimately connected to russia, security interest and would have passed. memorandum is not the only document that it was broken and russia is not the only side that broke a previous arrangement. there were many promises given to russia

why do we need our rules based international order? when we have international law isn't, isn't it easier and less than big used to just comply with the letter we have to be in the university, right? i see documents, you got documents that are worse catastrophe. and i think this is based on, based on, you know, the un security council resolution adopted, but also that on treaties, we've also been notified yet. this is all the information based order. so in previous august, you all to that. so this is, this is for a, let me also turn around and say on, on your credit, you know, we started with on ukraine. we had, this is part of the roof space international order. we have a rush are guaranteed to richard sovereignty and integrity of ukraine. and you gave up its nuclear weapons in return, and then russia invaded ukraine. and despite the fact that this was a good of this memorandum, was by officially transmitted to the security council for to or that was a lot today, the foreign minister and russia is finally run every day. ambassador, yo

so much international interference taking place. the local actors, as you rightly mentioned, the electoral commission has the so it's local committees, but it's just the chris or the crest of the tide. i mean, it's really not the way. it's not really the, you know, the deeper and then symptoms of what's been going on for several weeks. many of the factors come to, to, to measure by the, the new actors that emerged like simpler. suddenly, there was the structure of to the kind of settlement that many international actors have been trying to preside over a to, to horse race, not a 3 horse race. the actual supreme court has been mutes for several months, but years in fact, and has now been reshaped and reassembled. ok brought a 4. but if it comes out and get relational confidence as to get to touch on the process, there are so many he unfolds the foundations with selection that we can just label that just to put the responsibility at what commission. yes. mean, should we be concerned about what's next for libya? well, actually, 1st of

why do we need that rules based international order? when we have international law isn't, isn't it easier and less than big? he has to just comply with the letter. we have the un charter. this is the in the universal declaration of human rights. these are the basic talk, you know, documents that are worse catastrophe and you know, i think this is the basis. and then on that basis on the un security council resolutions, all the resolution that have been adopted on that basis. but also that long treaties, we've also, that have been notified. this is all the international rules based order. so interaction trees, all this, all to that. so this is, this is for very, very important. if you were criticizing germany and let me also turn around and say on, on your credit, you know, we started with on ukraine. we had, this is part of the route based international order. we have a 94 year rusher guarantee, a warranty and integrity of your crane, and you gave up its nuclear weapons in return. and then russia invaded ukraine, despite the fact that

and after they interact with international pressure and international law, news media reports, they admitted they had this camps and they called it occasional vocational school war training center, job training centers. and at the end, right now we have found out that they are and b concentration camps. so it might take some time to china to really admit what they're doing in the region is wrong, and they're committing genocide and i have one more voice because that question i asked, what is the point this child respond is onset by this my no voice in our conversation have a, let me know for a fact that inclination of pressure where you works. this is the only me that was stop china from continuing to commit genocide again, the story of people. this pressure may not immediately change the conditions on the ground, but it is putting china on defensive. first, they deny everything, makes the change the subject. and now they often forced to defend their atrocities for the government, the un, and in front of the whole world. we need to continue pressure from all sides. it is the only way to brin

remember, the 2 state solution is an international requirement and israel feel that international equilibrium that international division and legitimacy. and today he's our president and our people are throwing back the ball into the international in a year's time, early israel be much worried about that. the israel denies it as well as john, when you mentioned the i c c. investigation. boy johnson is clear and says that is an attack on israel, the i, c, c, the independence of the i. c. c is very important and i don't think politicians should intervene. what judges, this court was established exactly for issues like ours. so war crimes are prosecuted, war crimes or criminals are held accountable. so if the prime minister is johnson has an issue with this, i think he may have issues with international legality. i mean, it's not just about johnson, joe biden. the united states also says the i c, c has no jurisdiction. it's very unfortunate and extremely unfortunately some of those of the so called free world the for the very same countries that established these laws. and these conventions, and

what's the point of international humanitarian agencies? if they choose whether to help or not, the country needs help. the main focus shippy on humanity. the need right now is life, not choosing sides. thanks for watching fancy or g she comments? i see you next time solomon ali shelly printing it from the al jazeera london girl, consented to people in thoughtful conversation with no host and no limitation of the artist by nature. they are a person who are lost, party, love, i way, way and in miss cooper. society is not interested in the individuality, the freedom, the spirit of the young person, studio b and spectate. on alex's era, the u. s. is always of interest, the people around the world. this has been going on for a number of hours with the christopher. how to do the report story, phone internet perspective. we try to explain your global audience and why it's important. how that could impact their life at the height of the storm. water would through high, would it be them above by hey, this is an important part of the world. people p

the world health organization, the international labor association, the international red cross of course that spaced here. on the other hand, them you have the banking sector, which is also very well known internationally. the problem is right now with the stories of money laundering and corruption, ah, that have been linked so closely to the banking sector. here they have brought the lime lights international limelight to themselves. unwillingly such scandals have damage to neighbors. reputation, can the city's good name be restored? i think geneva is really ah, trying to surpass some of the negative aspects of this image that projects internationally. there's a certain hope that's with this new international exchange of data and in what concerns the banking sector, that any of us so well known for that all these stories that have sullied its past will pass. i think it's trying as much as possible to maintain geneva as an international center of negotiation of humanitarian issues. so that is where the hope lies that all that these bricks concert of latch together. and that that would be

could a change to international law be part of the answer. there's now a push for a new crime ego side to be included in the international criminal court, making excited serious crime a long sidewalk. crabs and genocide could really underpin and strengthen the whole edifice of environmental. so what does ecosign actually mean? how would it work? and can it really make any difference or this is the idea. weren't leaders, corporate ceos, goods down charl in an international court for destroying the natural world. the same court where people are prosecuted for genocide. and the idea has been around for a while since the 19 seventy's during the vietnam war, the u. s. military destroyed vast areas of jungle and crops by spring agent, orange, a toxic chemical american official. that doesn't hurt humans or animals or have any lofting effect from fun. but to take an american botanist use the word ego site to describe what was going on and said we need a new international agreement to banish and at different points as to the seventy's eighty's and eve

so he was the international community, his favorite back in 2011. since then he was put on a multiple sanctions list of the u. s. sanctioned list, the un sanctioned list. and doug the for the very same thing he's doing right now for trying to stop for basically disrupting the political process. so he's saying he has said that essentially he believes that the election is rigged in favor of the incumbent prime minister who went into hiding. but if you look at how things are unfolding, the only person to benefit from it is really the prime minister because he is not seen as a favorite in the elections. in fact, he is in, as an underdog, he is a very much upset by safe to duffy. the son of mama gadhafi, as it is widely believed that the hearts and minds of the libyan people are with the son who came back from exile. who before that was and remained in captivity, rubble, captivity, he was tortured, had several fingers chopped off and still despite all the exile, despite all this, he apparently still he carries a lot of political weight. so, so right now

could a change to international law be part of the answer. there's now a push for a new crime ego side to be included in the international criminal court. making ecos, i'd a serious crime alongside will crimes and genocide could really underpin and strengthen the whole edifice of environmental. so what does ecosign actually mean? how would it work? and can it really make any difference or this is the idea weren't leaders. corporate ceos could stand charlan an international court for destroying the natural world, the same court where people are prosecuted for genocide. and the idea has been around for a while since the 19 seventy's. during the vietnam war, the u. s. military destroyed vast areas of jungle and crops by spring agent, orange, a toxic chemical american official. that doesn't hurt humans or animals or have any lasting effect from fun. but to take an american botanist use the word ego site to describe what was going on and said we need a new international agreement to banish and at different points as to the seventy's eighty's and e

the world health organization, the international labor association, the international red cross of course that spaced here. on the other hand, them you have the banking sector, which is also very well known internationally. the problem is right now with stories of money laundering and corruption, ah, that have been linked so closely to the banking sector. here they have brought the lime lights international limelight to themselves. unwillingly such scandals have damage to nervous reputation. can the city's good name be restored? i think geneva is really ah, trying to surpass some of the negative aspects of this image that projects internationally. there's a certain hope that's with this new international exchange of data and in what concerns the banking sector, that any of us so well known for that all these stories that have sullied its past will pass. i think it's trying as much as possible to maintain geneva as an international center of negotiation of humanitarian issues. so that is where the hope lies. that's all that these bricks concert of latch together. and that that would be how

humanitarian law detection or international organizations. let unesco the you and human rights council and others that deal with all these issues. again, universal rules have been established under this umbrella as new and chart is a document that contains rules. we have nothing against the concept of rules, but these have to be rules that everyone agrees with how western colleagues i will feel like their interests are threatened in some areas including media, freedom, access to information as cyberspace issues. but so trying to work out rules acceptable to everyone in the universal context of the un would jeopardize the interest that they would like to prioritize unilaterally. you. that's why this is happening. and besides governments, they tried to bring the business community in civil society to these platform that they developed, then your village of doing this, they will shout the main factor that makes these agreements last on the intergovernmental nature. because this is the policy agenda. they are actively promoting and we think that

why do we need a rule based international order? when we have international law isn't, isn't it easier and less than big? he has to just comply with the letter. we have the un charter, you know, this is the, the universal declaration of human rights. these are the basic talk, you know, documents that are worse catastrophe and you know, i think this is the basis. and then on that basis on the un security council resolutions, all the resolution that have been adopted on that basis. but also that long treaties, we've also that have been notified yet. this is all the international rules based order. so in previous august, you all to that. so this is for me very, very important. if you were criticizing germany, let me also turn around and say on, on your credit, you know, we started with on you crazy. we had, this is part of the rules based international order. we have a 94 we're rusher guarantee certainty, and integrity of your crane and you gave up its nuclear weapons in return. and then russia invaded ukraine, despite the fact that th

we think about international humanitarian law. the great struggle that we face today is between the rights of states and the rights of people in those states to realize their full potential. clearly, china and russia are champions of sovereignty and they put states right ahead of the rights of individuals. is that really the multi polar world that we want to live in is a formula for development, peace and security. those kinds of abuses will ultimately backfire and d, stabilize russia in china, in the u. s. should support victims by expressing solidarity in developing policies that push back against hearing. but david, when you're talking about pushing back, you sound a little bit like can, can you, you know, wanting to push back the tide. we're talking russia and china, hey, we're talking to the very big countries whom the u. s. has had to tense relationship with simply because it call it as easily influencing as say for example, can your opinion the u. k. so when you say pushed back, what are the tools to push back with? there a

the international olympic committee has a similar track record toward the c.c.p.'s human rights abuses. no human rights conditions were ever imposed by the i.o.c. as a condition for china to host the 2008 summer olympics. and the c.c.p. used it as propaganda to white-wash their brutal oppression. they allowed beijing to host the 2022 winter olympics, once again turning a blind eye to the gross human rights violations and genocide currently being committed. but over the last several weeks, we've seen the i.o.c. change from passively validating the c.c.p.'s abuses to actively enabling them. the most troubling example is the ongoing abuse of chinese olympian peng shuai. she disappeared by the c.c.p. after coming forward with serious sexual abuse allegations against a senior party member, and after the world began speaking up for her, peng, the c.c.p. propaganda machine, published false statements in her name. rather than standing up for her, the i.o.c. immediately issued public statements to validate this obvious disinformation and propaganda. even more shocking, i.o.

and to participate in the international democratic community. now brian, who is the founder of new blue magazine and the writer for the diplomat. he done played the correct, gives me and says taiwan, unofficial allies such as the u. s. hope more weight. so the timing is quite interesting because of the summit for democracy that is convened by the, by the ministration town and invited, despite not being a member of the us. so this is sign of the us strength of amendments towards taiwan . ivr china has reacted by angrily to that it is not invited. and so this is included hang back at the us, i think of the show that it is not actually final anything significant. but the same time when you see this with no progress breaking relation was i want the timing, it does seem rather suspicious. so what is interesting, i think, is how this will play out domestically in that the pro china opposition. the came t will use us to attack the ruling side ministration. and so the diplomatic allies that towel on has are smaller than it in terms of the size of a popu

kristen smith for the international hi representative to bosnia and herzegovina . thank you very much for talking to al jazeera. my pleasure. i'd like to start by asking you, sir about the current political situation in the country. it has been described by many senior officials, both in the international community, the united nations, as well as actually regional figures as the most dangerous or the deepest crisis that the country has witnessed since the war ended in 1995. what is your assessments of the situation in bosnia right now? yeah, thank you. in detail, situation, bosnia, herzegovina, them the ears and the bet shape of these days. i have reported this some head to the secret a channel of united nations until the united nations security council, in my re port where i referred especially to him about the increase of his functionality and the state and inflammatory rhetoric, which it probably could go beyond a chest rhetoric, and that is the concern i have that, that reports that you mentioned earlier, mr. schmidt, which was presented to the united nations s

this is our to international. now looking back at more of the stories that made headlines in the last year, the centuries old rivalry between britain and france made a big come back in 2021. there were disputes over refugees and fishing rights and also bickering over a controversial defense deal. our friends correspondent, charlotte davinsky, looks back france and the u. k. have been like 2 squabbling neighbors for a millennia. at times those disputes have descended into full blown wars. but for over a century, there has been this relative, calm, not is until now. in the past, the u. k is had plenty of success against france on the high seas, but now the french are looking to recapture access to waters between the 2 countries. for fishing rights only going to print it. we still, since the beginning of this year, don't have the licenses did. we're not fighting with the english. we're engaging in dialogue to try to make our position understood so that we can get access to these waters. i think we may have to go furt

we have to understand that international community, special international organizations and people who went there to meet their years used women. i will always use feminism and women that just to make sure that be get a front seat and everything that they do, the more they get more funding and use of women. our pictures, our readings are having children for their own purposes. all right, so as some day she stayed in afghanistan beyond august where many people were leaving. what is the situation right now in afghanistan? what do women need and wants? so the 2 minutes that i have good enough on a sound, the one thing i have learned is the fact that economic collapse is hurting up on the sun. now more than anything, but at the same time, one thing we have to look at is the fact that women rights are been used to actually tired of the country out. there are many solutions in place that could have been used by the international community. actually tab with the humidity and eat close to the house. this coming kids and starving mothers to actually address the digital literacy issues. right no

world war i is pure international relations. world war ii, pure international relations. this is the nature of the world, almost every combat theater and every war zone that's on the pages of the library involves another country. so does involve the whole world. i've got two great uncles that lie on foreign lands because of world war ii and that stuff really matters. the fate of humanity is on the lane so please engage with the international affairs, think about careers and do what you can to make sure that we get through the next century. >> well, thank you so much. yeah, those are fitting words to bring our program to a close this evening and thank you to both -- both of you as well to the international spy museum, you know, this was a great conversation and i really appreciate being a part of this. thank you also to the international spy museum for their support with this program and thank you to the military foundation on behalf of the military museum and library. if you would like to make a donation or both of the organizations, of course, we would be happy and grate

here at archie international in moscow. ah, well, it's a very busy monday for you. well, quite headlines. exactly how we like it here at ortiz national in moscow on rural research. so vladimir putin has arrived in new delhi where he and his indian counterpart prime minister and avenger. modi are holding a bilateral meeting. the 2 leaders are expected to exchange views on key international issues, including joint work within the g 20 bricks. and of course, that of the shanghai cooperation organization. rushers are foreign and defense ministers are also there as well. they touched down just a day earlier and i've already met with their counterparts. and the country's leaders have already expressed that positive outlook towards the upcoming negotiations. a we see india is a great power, a friendly nation relations between our countries, a developing and a looking into the future acquisitions. on a very many issues coincide. we continued to develop our relations both in the international arena and in the military sphere. they c

ah mac, this is our t international. now senior members of britain's ruling party have reportedly admitted to hosting a westminster get together last year. during the strict national lockdown. the revelation is piling pressure on board johnson, as he denies a separate similar event at downing street where staff also apparently disregarded anti covet measures. in total, 3 lockdown parties will be looked into for breaking coven rules are shot. it was a dusty report. well, things have unfold as much like as much of the nation would have really expect it to be honest, more and more revelations and allegations of gatherings and christmas parties. now the conservative party has reportedly admitted at least one party took place last december, 1 december. the 14th, when the prime minister was hang the rest of the country to think very carefully about what you do and how you can protect others. obviously though, the big one in question is the party the allegedly took place on december the 18th . even though the restrictions at th

is the narrative changing the international narrative on this story? yes, i think we are seeing those changes. and i think 1st and foremost are the result of the, the work of for the sin activists that have been advancing this. and i hope that we had some modest contribution in this. so in this regard, it's late, if i'd say better late than never a but i think we are seeing to this is a, this is happening. and i think in a situation which is over all bleak like, this needs to be spelled out it, we shouldn't be, you know, overly optimistic with regard to situation. here, we have a very successful from its own perspective, oppressive regime. again, not only because of its ability to oppress, but because of its ability successfully for decades to get away with it with impunity. we've seen this pattern before, the unrest, the escalation, garza gets bomb, the disproportionate number of palestinian casualties, the eventual cease fire. so how should news organizations treat this story now that things have, quote, unquote returned to normal. don't look away an

to day the united nations, as mark and international migrants day more than 280000000 people way international migrants last year. that's nearly 4 percent of the global population. more people than ever live in a country other than the one in which the web on the united states and mexico. i resumed for my presidents. donald trump's controversial stay in mexico program for migrants. and the de scheme, mexico pledges to take in migrants sent back by the united states while the asylum applications are being processed, but shelters and reception centers albert whelmed at the border and many migrants remain stranded in limbo. isaac driscoll reports from the mexican border city of t. i wanna the rain threatened to wash away the l. chapparal camp in tijuana, just a few meters from the us. mexico border. many central american migrants live here in dire conditions. they all dream of crossing to the other side. despite the difficulties. got a moment, almost starting a 1000, for now they have closed the doors on us. and i don't know why it's to wait on your mother, but there are many people here who have

this is like a whole of government but an international community approach. mr. lynch: have we resourced this enough? this is a new and additional responsibility, i think, for state department. have we provided the resources necessary to undertake this change? mr. landberg: i can speak for only the counterterrorism bureau, we have robust resources that we are working to implement effectively. that's our mission. we have the capability to do more and so do our partners. we work to leverage d.h.s., d.o.j., f.b.i., to help build law enforcement capabilities wherever we're working. we have more capability, we could do more but mostly we're focused on effective implementation of the fund we have. mr. lynch: my time has expired. i welcome the ranking member, the gentleman from wisconsin, mr. grothman, for five minutes for questions. mr. grothman: thanks. i'll ask mr. landberg the questions. in february, 2020, the trump administration signed an agreement we the taliban this required the taliban sever all ties with al qaeda before the u.s. withdrew. did the taliban, to t

environment is part of international law. so the next stage is to ask oneself the question if we're going to use the law at the international level to stop people mass killing, should we use international law — criminal law — to stop people from causing massive damage to the human — to the environment? so, who's in your notional crosshairs? is it the chinese, building their coal—fired power stations? is it the president of brazil who continues to allow logging in the amazon rainforest? and how do you define that as a crime with intent? i get daily emails on those subjects and on other subjects. i've looked more at the historical type of things, to give the kinds of examples. for example, chernobyl — the failure of a country to notify neighbours that there is a massive radioactive cloud passing above them. there was a case involving a british company called trafigura — the dumping of ultra—hazardous waste in peoples�* communities in cote d'ivoire 15 or so years ago. obviously, there are going to be issues with

we have to understand that international communities, special international organizations and people who went there to make their cut years used women, i will always use feminism and women just to make sure that be get frenzied and everything that they do, the more they get more funding and use of women, our pictures, our readings are having children for their own purposes. all right, so as somebody who stayed in afghanistan beyond august where many people were leaving, what is the situation right now in afghanistan? what do women need and want for the 2 months that i have stayed enough on us on the one thing i have learned is the fact back. economic collapse is hurting up on the sun. now more than anything, but at the same time, one thing we have to look at is the fact that women writes been used to actually target the country out. there are many solutions in place that could have been used by the international community. actually tab with the humidity and eat for actually health coverage. kids and starving mother to actually address the digital literacy issues. right now they have

i think international law clearly imposes. busy obligations on states including indonesia, to protect human rights, off refugees arriving on their shores. they are about a 120 people on this particular boat. i understand what more can you tell us about their, their condition? well, their condition, their health condition is, is, is worrying at being 51 children and 60 woman. this is really in a, in a in distress of tuition. so i think we are very worried about the conditions of their life threat life and that threatening situation. and i think the government of indonesia shouldn't be too ill of the thing that they have done last year when they allow almost $400.00 refugees from myanmar to come into the country and to treat them properly as rude, local facilities of refugee and for a quote for the new case in beer and in the recent order, i think we, we, we thing indonesia is taking the wrong decision by sending them the highest is that it will put them at risk and dangers at see where are they sending them back to right now? b

we were building the international airport. the airport included large underground fuel tanks, very high capacity fuel tanks. it included very sophisticated refuelling system, electronically controlled, right out of the apron. it included overnight facilities for maybe 100 people. back in the �*50s and �*60s when a plane stopped to refuel everybody got out and stayed over night wherever you were on the way while the aircraft was serviced, and then the pilots and everybody would get back on it the next morning! it was designed to use the maximum of local materials. and all construction around kandahar was all adobe and brick — there was no timber and no steel — so the airport was designed as brick and it was designed as arches. we had huge, big parabolic arches like this out facing the apron, and then a barrel arch that went behind them to enclose the terminal building. and the afghans were, they were experts on that kind of construction. well, the russians had built this beautiful airport in kabul, so usa said, "wait a

peace or less internal peace? >> to be honest, i started to be crazy, man. i don't know what i am. i don't know where i'm going to go. i don't know who i am. when i am with my crowd, i play for them. make them smile. i'm happy. i feel free. but when i'm thinking for my continent, africa, what happening in africa, what is going on? and then the world doesn't matter. i feel like, this-- i don't know which day this is going to stop, because the world doesn't take matter. i feel like the justice doesn't exist in the world. it's what i'm feeling. music, it's like, good way to send in the message, but it's not obligation to someone to, like, understand that message. ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ >>reenivasan: newshour will have continuing coverage of the tornadoes and the recovery efforts across the mid-south region tomorrow and throughout the week. that's all for this edition of pbs newshour weekend. for the latest news updates, visit www.pbs.org/newshour. i'm hari sreenivasan. thanks for watching. stay healthy, and have a g

is the narrative change in the international narrative on this story? yes, i think we are seeing those changes. and i think 1st and foremost are the result of the, the work of for the scene activists that have been advancing this. and i hope that we had some modest contribution in there. so in this regard, it's late, if i'd say better late than never a but i think we are seeing to this is a, this is happening. and i think in a situation which is over all bleak like, this needs to be spelled out a we shouldn't be, you know, overly optimistic with regard to situation. here we have a very successful from its own perspective, oppressive regime. again, not only because of its ability to oppress, but because of its ability successfully for decades to get away with it with impunity. we've seen this pattern before, the unrest, the escalation, garza gets bomb, the disproportionate number of palestinian casualties, the eventual cease fire. so how should news organizations treat this story now that things have, quote, unquote returned to normal. don't look away an

this is art international. i'm john thomas. certainly glad to have you with us. right now, a london court has ruled that wiki leaks founder julian assange can be extradited to the u. s. washington. one, it's appeal against a previous ruling that block to assange from being sent to america to face trial on espionage charges. his fiance described friday's decision as a grave miscarriage, of justice. julian exposed the crimes of cia tortures of ca killers. and now we know that those ca killers were planning to kill him too. how can this court? how can these courts approve an extradition request? under these conditions, well to the san just now or step closer to being expedited to the united states. as the u. k. high court has decided that it will be overturning a decision not to expedite to him to the united states. that decision was based back in january on medical grounds at the time the judge said it would be oppressed if a student is sancha. that of high risk of suicide. of course, back in october, that was a

thus he applied the principle of international jurisdiction, the idea behind it. some crimes are so serious that they affect all of humanity and can be prosecuted by any judge regardless of where they were committed. peanuts arrest was a warning to dictators and leaders responsible for genocides quinn, joy, impunity, and the loss of their own country. crimes against humanity could now be prosecuted by any prosecutor or judge in the wild. i prefer some hacker is on hacker. this thing is on hacker can, can throw in hack in la les advantages. manels put up with you. i left the sailors gleaming. nobody ever called who it is, its own you have said esl mac. he is us hackers guessing his escambia us in his them. this is hacker scare him, one luciana love for my case, is still architect today. gwen brown wont be love. you have them by robinson atlas cuz it is the milk as a unit. while waiting for the decision from the you, the legal team maintains their offensive in the diplomatic arena. i talked to where you had with 1st let's review what has happened. be a bomber admini

s. dictated international law. so the problem, the problem is that the national law does not work and everybody's trying to actually make it work. russia is trying to make it work chinese trying to make war, but the u. s. i don't think it's, they're really interested in making it work because it, because international law may make russia right on some issues, may china, right. and somebody here. and i don't think the us is likes to be told that it's not right on some of the issues and a couple of words about democracy. sure, it's not as powerful as it was before, but no actually has any alternative. china, but not constant talker system in russia, does not have done traditional value summit. so that's where the us actually seems to have the upper hand. i need to have something to show her for a while while we don't. and i think that international law is something that may help us driving forward, but i don't think until the us is taken off. it's purch asked a so super bowl or, or, or until it realizes it is no long

up in international media and certain names are mentioned. apparently, either the ones in jail are mentioned or their relatives are mentioned, and we see slightly better treatment afterwards. in terms of the overall situation, that is up to the experts and people who have access to those areas to determine. ros: many thanks to howard fm bbc chinese. a quick reminder of our top story, u.k. prime minister boris johnson under increasing pressure as an investigation grows into parties held on downing street last christmas while coronavirus's were in place -- coronavirus rules were in place. three parties are being investigated and others have emerged. the prime minister ordered an investigation wednesday about video of his staff emerged joking abouthe party. mr. johnson also phase -- also faces questions about money spent to refurbish his flat and they conservative party has been fined for inaccurately reporting a donation to refurbish that flat. there are questions about new covid instructions the conservative prime minister announced. there wil

international law. but when i look at china, india, russia, brazil, everybody talks about international law. ok. and if we would just have that, that is what everyone recognizes. but know we have values based diplomacy and rules based order. i have no idea what those phrases mean, but i know what international lies in almost every year, but every sovereign country at the united nations knows what international lies. the the, the atlanta says, the washington consensus. that is an inc. finance. go ahead. my like say i'm not sure the u. s. is accustomed to, to abide by the law. so that is what i does not. it does not really maybe on the law and respect the law. so the problem with international law is that there's actually no one to enforce it when you, when you, when you have nato, is the only power who could basically bomb countries and then bade countries or have the us military. and the only military who can beg globally, you do not have international law, you have the us, the status international law.

s. dictated international law. so the problem, the problem is this, the international law does not work and everybody's trying to actually make it work rush, he's trying to make it work chinese trying to make war. but the u. s. i think it's really interested in making it work because international law may make russia right on some issues may make china, right. is some issues. and i think that the u. s. is likes to be told that it's not right on some of the issues and a couple of words about democracy. sure, it's not as powerful as it was before, but no one actually has any alternative. china, but not constant tucker system in russia does not hosta, and i don't know traditional value summit. so that's where the us actually seems to have the upper hand. i mean, it has something to show for a for a while while we don't. and i think that international law is something that may help us driving forward, but i don't think until the us is taken off. it's purch asked a so super power or, or until it realize that it is no lo

it's not to give money to international ngos that you don't know, don't have any accountability. it's to create green or... some serious ngos, ok, but that's not the only thing to do, and that's not the main thing to do. the main thing to do is to create conditions for the people to have decent livelihoods in the amazon. one of the things would be legal mining. legal mining under all the sustainable conditions could be good for the amazon. the demonisation of mining only creates the stimulus for illegal mining, which is something that, yes, that can create a problem... i don't think you're arguing with me that the bolsonaro administration has utterly failed to stop the illegal mining or indeed the illegal logging, but before we finish and we don't have much time, let's just get on to your analysis of where brazil sits in the international community today. i just wonder whether you feel that your foreign policy strategy, which was very loud, vocal support for donald trump, very loud, vocal condemnation of china, whether you think that that has been strategically wise for brazil. y

the, with the welcome you're watching all the international. this new year's eve is just gone 5 o'clock in moscow with some of the holiday spirit in mind. the russian and us leaders have indicated that relations could be turning a corner after a difficult few weeks. joe biden implied, imitate him, spoke for an hour by phone, with the american president, even promising not to deploy offensive strike weapons and ukraine. any hanker takes us through now what they discussed. so now we do know the details of the latest phone conversation between the presidents of the us and russia. they have come in from both administrations and they're not strikingly different. but it could be felt that moscow and washington were emphasizing different things. what we heard from the adviser to president potent was that his counterpart made it clear that the west has no intention of deploying offensive strike weapons in the ukraine. now, this is something that is very important for moscow. this is something that the kremlin has many times called a red line for russia

but amnesty international has denounced the decision saying the u. s. charges represent a serious threat to press freedom. something echoed by his supporters. ricki lake was a organization of whistleblowers. it made it absolutely safe and secure for whistleblowers to her to bring the truest to the public. all he has done as tell the truth and understand the dungeon top right is upset their leads, but he has done his job to tell us what's going on. this decision is clearly a big setback for the campaign to free julian a science, but it's already taken years to get to sports and it could be a long time before we know definitively whether he'll be sent to the united states . the case has been sent back to the lower court, so a judge can refer the extradition to home secretary, pretty patel. but julian, the sound his legal team. so they'll try to login appeal with the supreme court, challenging the american assurances that he won't be treated humanely. the dean baba al jazeera london protested and me and marvelled a silent strike against military will. i
