6:01 pm
in pock a song, prime minister mon colon calls for fresh elections. often no confidence vote against him is dismissed. a and for lincoln's defy a curfew to rally against the government. as it grapples with a spiraling economic crisis and its board australia, real women's cricket. once more, a thrash to england by 71 runs to win. the winters woke up finally christ church hello and welcome to the program. ukraine is demanding. a new wave of sanctions against russia. cave says it has evidence of war crimes in boucher which is the town north west de keith. after the withdrawal of russian troops from their moscow rejected the allegations as go straight to him or on con his life in a key for us. you've just returned from boucher tell us what you've seen.
6:02 pm
well we've seen utter destruction and damage on the roads leading into boucher. we've also seen incredible amounts of just ins, like massive damage when it comes to the town. the roads leading in both the most shocking thing as thou. still bodies on the streets of beach or they may have been there for weeks. they may have been there for days and we simply don't know, but there's 2 keywords are now coming out from the ukrainians. the 1st word is genocide. they keep saying that this is not just a walk run, this is genocide, and they keep saying that louder and louder. and the 2nd a 2nd term that they're talking about is now war crimes. a talking about investigation and taking this to the international criminal court of justice to, to take russia to court for what they say is simply inexcusable, brutal war crimes. now let's take a look at butcher in
6:03 pm
a bit more detail. we were there, like he said this afternoon, and this is what we saw. most bodies have been removed and the ones that are left have yet to be picked up. each has to be photographed and documented the dead asylum. witnesses to what happened here. and what is alleged to have happened is russian soldiers attacking civilians fleeing the city. the mayor of ki visited boucher to show solidarity and express anger. is genocide jill side of ukraine m population. more than shaw is that people in russia and the russian government had to pay for their baneful prize officials, a gathering evidence, and will submit their findings that may well form the basis of a war crimes investigation. you are so blessed with the most of the shot, but i am of witness because i was here today. we finally have opportunity to reduce that of what happened and hearing all this view become evidence in our case,
6:04 pm
give is corey in the outskirts of beach up, russian forces shelled houses. the residency. there were effectively held hostage were severely them. the russians broke into our house is in, took him over. they told us not to go out at night on the main road leading into boucher. this rushing convoy of heavily armored vehicles lies completely destroyed . it stands testament to the ferocity of the fight. the town was retaken by ukrainian forces on the 31st of march. it's only now the what happened here can be documented. so far the municipality has found $300.00 bodies. but as they search the town, that figure could rise much higher. i've counted at least 10 dead bodies down this road. they're waiting to be picked up the we taken to the morgue. well, they'll be recorded and eventually even picked up perhaps by their loved ones. although the bodies will be removed from this road, the scars that this town is feeling will take
6:05 pm
a lot longer to heal as well. the clean up gregory tries to sweep away some of the debris, but it's almost futile. he tries anyway, but the scale of destruction is simply too much. so what's happening now is the ukrainians are now going from house to house, which will take them a very long time to do to clear the houses of any kind of booby traps that the russians may have left behind. but what they are also looking for is a more casualties, more dead bodies that may well be trapped in those buildings. that figure that the mayor has been talking about a voucher of $2.00 to $300.00 bodies. that figure is likely to be much higher once the full and final investigation is released. ok, thank you for that update among com. there for us in keith. are we just heard the mayor of ki, accusing russia of genocide? well, president vladimir zalinski may the same claims to us networks in the kid in
6:06 pm
. indeed, this is young genocide natur, jim jim or her mission united wish here, not all the, with 1000000 elimination of the whole national good. and the people, gentlemen, we are the citizens of ukraine. we have more than a 100 nationalities, this is about the data destruction and extermination of all the nationalities. we are the citizens of ukraine, and we don't want to be subdued to the policy of russia. a little the reason we are being veterans to be destroyed and extra emanated and this isn't happening in the europe of the 21st century. so this is the torture of the whole nation. let's go to mike hannah. his lie for us in washington dc might give us a bit more detail about where and what zalinski had to say. and what's the reaction been to his comments in the us?
6:07 pm
well, president lensky speaking there in an interview with a u. s. network making very clear his belief that what has happened and ukraine does constitute genocide. he makes mentioned there that ukraine has $100.00 nationalities, as he puts it in each and every one of these nationalities had been targeted for extermination. in his view by the russian forces, a president lensky, also making clear that approbation and criticism should not just be directed that russian president vladimir putin who's directed this operation. but also at the commanders on the ground who are following orders. and who president zalinski says are equally guilty of war crimes and genocide. with regards to the united states president zalinski saying that he dp appreciates us assistance, but he says he still looking for security guarantees from us which have not been forthcoming. the u. s. secretary of state tony, blinking or expanding as well to the latest footage that has emerged from ukraine,
6:08 pm
particularly around that area. butcher that iran was reporting about a short while ago saying that this is like a punch to the gut. now this was a sentiment echoed by a number of weston administrations in governments. the e, you criticizing the section in particular as to the foreign ministers of france and germany, so wholehearted condemnation of the russian operations in ukraine. but particularly this action near the capital of keys in which it would appear, a hundreds of civilians have been killed by russian forces. okay, thank you for that. my candidate for us in washington. let's get reaction from moscow. we can speak the house, m a ha bar, who is there? what, what if anything, have we had from russia on these allegations has, have they made any response? yes, there's been a statement from the russian ministry of defense dismissing the report about
6:09 pm
mass murder in butcher. they say that the foot is coming up from there is a provocation. and they also said in a statement that when they took over butcher, people were given access to leave. the area include including to wears north towards beller roofs. they also say that their forces left bullshit on the 30th of march, and that before that the ukrainians were to blame for massive shelling of the southern outskirts of butcher. and i have to say that since the start of this military operation, the russians have been saying that the, facing an unprecedented or misinformation this information war and they have been accusing the west, the americans for deflecting the attention on the core issues that russia has been dealing with and they say that we've been telling them that we have
6:10 pm
a huge concern about the military situation and in ukraine. but those parties were in complete denial about realities on the ground, hassam al barrow, there for us in moscow. elsewhere on the ground, russian missiles have struck near the southern ports of a desa, which is ukraine's main naval base. russia says that destroyed an oil refinery and fuel storage facilities used by ukraine's military. but as there is a focus for moscow, as his forces tried to cut e crane off from the black sea moon lil dormer, which i was at home. and it was scary because the walls were shaking. i went out and saw that there was an explosion near my home and i thought a tank farm burning. there was a big explosion like if an aeroplane crashed. i've never seen something like that. we need to close the sky because we don't want an attack again. we'll oberlin us before it was better. i did not think of sending my family out of the city. i heard him shooting and the air defenses working in the past,
6:11 pm
but it's not like this officer through scared not for myself, but for my kid, i will take the weapons in my hands if it's needed, but against rockets, you can't fight those weapons. let's talk to you stephanie decker, who's in livermore, stephanie fastly, tell us a bit more about these attacks on odessa and it's worth pointing out. you actually spent a lot of time in odessa. what is your sense of the people there? how, how they're feeling now that russia is attacking them? well, they have been preparing for weeks. this is the 1st significant attack on nadisa at the field f o. it is in line with russia strategy. they've been doing this in several cities across the country. they're been rocket fired, i added as you heard there from the sound by you played. we've also seen those air defense, red tracer fire in the sky against them pretty much on a nightly basis. but this is the 1st time they've hit it. now the russians say this is because those fuel depots are being used to resupplied troops. and nikolai of
6:12 pm
nikolai of is a city around 200 kilometers away and that the ukrainians have managed to keep the russian ground forces from taking. and that is the last front line, really when it comes to the russians, then moving on to odessa, which as you mentioned, there is hugely strategic. it's ukraine's biggest port. and if they manage, then to get that entire southern part, they would cut off ukraine from its entire access to the sea to the black sea, into the as of c, but it's been proving difficult in the beginning of this conflict. molina, they were talking about a potential naval landing on the beaches of odessa. they have been heavily mind, but certainly all the military analysis points to if those ground troops don't get much closer to the city, that's not going to be possible. i think we're gonna have to wait and see if they're now going to step up the attacks on michael i of again to try to move forward. you on asked me about civilians just briefly. a lot of civilians have left many have also stayed again that the gentleman who, who sound bite, you played saying that if he had to pick up guns, he would,
6:13 pm
we filmed with civilians who did not want to fight, but decided to take lessons in how to use a weapon if it's so needed, set, telling us that if they had to protect our homes and this and the city that came down to it, they would do do so. so very much steadfast attitude to those remaining there, there is of course, fear and anxiety and i think to day the fact that you know, it was such a heavy blast that really shook the center of the city will have people much more worried. okay, thank you. for that, stephanie deca reference in live will have more the strategic importance of a desa later on in the program or in the northeast of the country. russian shelling has devastated the entire village near ca. keith, it includes the home of 66 year old vera banker battery in it with the 1st days. there was no water. we thought that's impossible. so what was that after the bombing? ha ha. yes, we had an engine here, but it was pulled out. but now look,
6:14 pm
thank god. when i put you on a video saw employ. yeah, i thought we were in the house was up usually with the attacks we ran out. we didn't hear the 1st hit. but when others followed, we ran out. when we were running, another strike was coming. so we hid under a cage. it was the toys. what's it though? a door here it is. words all ruined the school. this was a kitchen. it was our kitchen. from here all the way to the refrigerator. it was 2 rooms go to the toilet. well, 1st of all we have to repair the kitchen. and after that we'll see ah, let's move on to some of the news. pakistan's opposition is challenging a decision to dissolve parliament on hold a new election in the next 90 days. the supreme court is hearing the petition on
6:15 pm
monday hasn't got started. we've got a formula, somebody. c earlier prime minister on con, side step to know confidence mation in parliament, it was dismissed by the deputy speaker, who described it as part of a foreign plot. the opposition believed it had the numbers to oust con, a keys him if mismanaging economy. osama bin to aid as in islamabad, where he spoke to bella bhutto, a prominent of opposition leader. he said, avoiding a new confidence, motion amounts to by the prime minister. asked by to some goes into this political crisis. the opposition says the only route that it has available is via the supreme court are focused on and that is the chairman of the bypass on people's body from the coalition. which is, it says that it has the numbers in the parliament and they are going to defeat iran on according to the constitution of bikes on thank you very much for speaking to a little bit today. tell us,
6:16 pm
isn't it correct course of action to go for an election, so why is your position against it? no one's against lectures. in fact, of the reason that we brought a new confidence cancel. mr. com is that the opposition believes that 2018 elections were heavily compromise. and in order to go to words, new elections, free and fair, and we 1st had to remove mr. ha and then conduct electoral reforms. and all of our demand was this that we have for the election. who mr. hahn is done today is not only unconstitutional. it's of who attended. the constitution of bach responders has one legitimate democratic means to remove the prime minister of bugs as to our constitution does not allow for, for them to not hold voting today on the, on the new continent. motions, as our constitution does not allow the speaker to promote the session as they have done. our constitution does not allow the president of pakistan to try and dissolve
6:17 pm
the assemblies while ago. his motion is spending so all that he has done today is not to force a free and fair election is to force an unfair election to create a constitutional crisis. and as i said, it's a coup attempt. well, let's see how emron colin got to this point. opposition. policies accuse him of pakistan's economic turmoil and a growing foreign debt. the cost of living is high. food prices have gone up to 23 percent since the beginning of the pandemic. things came to a head when enron cons closed, allied, the with tahita commie movement, quit his government, and switch sides before the no confidence vote. reducing his majority in the assembly. and his relationship with the army has also taken a hit with differences over foreign policy decisions that speak to been us our she's in pakistani, jonas, she joins us live from cambridge in massachusetts. thank you for joining the program. what do you make of what iran con has done? is it unconstitutional is opposition, is climbing. i'm look,
6:18 pm
absolutely. and so as far as i can see, it is unconstitutional and not a lawyer or a constitutional expert. but it is clear that the only way to dissolve a government is through order unseat, to prime minister, is to avoid of no confidence. there is no other way to remove a government. he cannot dissolve the government. it's, i mean to, it's, it's kind of a joke, but it's a bad job because the joke is on the pakistani people. because what, what am ron hahn is essentially doing? he's throwing up google to use a cricket term. he's, he's clearing the bitch, his sport he's like, i don't like this game. i'm not going to play and he just overthrown everything. so it's just really sad. it's a really sad diva. well, it's gone to the supreme court. we'll hear from them on monday if they say it's unconstitutional. what happens next? well, they should be got a caretaker government to, i mean a get a government in place for 3 months that should call elections. i don't think that iran has the authority to collections because he doesn't have a majority in parliament anymore. ideally,
6:19 pm
it would be really wonderful. this is what we were. i personally was really happy when im not hon. us government came in in the sense that it was a continuation of a democratic political process which we haven't really had in pakistan. we've literal, literally, if you look at the history of bacchus on it's been a decade of military rule followed by a decade of music. political musical chairs, another decayed military rule, and ben and we had like a, some people's party come in after 3 after elections are handing all power for the 1st time to a new government the 5 years later, which then handed over power to him on hand 5 years later, and now he actually should be part of this process. he should be strengthening this process instead of it. he is weakening it by, you know, saying i'm not playing idling game, because he has never been of pro politics. he came in, not an a political wicked, but on a quote quote unquote,
6:20 pm
corruption thing. so it's all about been about him and how he is the quote unquote savior of pakistan's. it's not really part of a process. i don't think, i don't think he's being a team player. he seems to be betting that he has more chance of staying in power if they are fresh elections, is he right? do you think so? you know, you actually hit the nail on the head by saying, staying in power, because that seems to be the objective to stay in bo, whereas the objective should be to take pakistan to a better place, instead of distracting. so instead of distracting from the con, economic mass and all that, by doing these kind of moves. so his game, his aim should not be to stay in bower. his him should be to move back a son to political democratic, political process forward. and that he is not doing. oh, what do you think of his strategy in recent days? you're in the u. s. he's been blaming the united states of mounting a conspiracy to topple his government. are then he legs to that
6:21 pm
to that. so, i mean, you know, i haven't seen this letter that he keeps you know, brandishing, ah, interestingly, the army chief made a speech the other day which completely contradicted everything that i'm not honest until they came in. he came in basically with the military's blessings. and he was seen as their blue eyed boy, but then when the opposition and the women, the abolition body started coming together and he thought so himself being on a shaky wicked. and he sort of basically said, i'm not playing this game anymore. um, so the, his, this rhetoric, this anti western rhetoric to deflect attention from the failures and the problems instead of looking inward to see to instead of asking, what am i doing wrong, what are we doing wrong? how could we improve? he's like, oh, it's all their fault, it's all their fault to that. to me is a very pure, i'll juvenile kind of way to take to move,
6:22 pm
and i really think we need more adult politics. not doesn't bucket some but all of south asia it's, it's a mess around the world and i just to court or a president, brock obama who said last year we need more adult behavior. the u. s. i think we need more adult behavior. everybody. you talked about pakistan's past and how the military has played a big part in, in running the country. what is your sense looking into the future is the military are going to go back to having control of the country? so i think the military has realized, i see the whole situation focus on is kind of like been where it's been like this, like totally the opposite way. and it's sort of like, needs to get like this. and it's been like this. and they need to sort of like get back in some kind of a balance and in the military has been in power most of the time. and now they are realizing that they cannot do this for the military, but they don't want to give up their power. mean, you heard the saying that, you know, every country has a military, but the, in pakistan, the military has a country. well,
6:23 pm
the military has got to stop interfering in politics. they say that they are not going to do that, but i guess old habits are hard to break. so they would like to stay in control, but they would also like pakistan's in boxes. and in order for the military to be, to get to be anything they need a can the country and they can't have a country of the countries does this, the grating because of failed economic policies because of government not running because of not having good relations with neighbors. so i think that the military is trying to now play a balancing act. the sort of like not putting, you know, standing is completely a 100 percent backing him on hand like they've been doing up till now. because he's on, you know, he's a loose gun and he, they, he's not addressed for the character to have on your team. essentially, that's what he is prove. so hopefully the military, i would say i, i hope that the military steps back and does not interfere in though in that sense, political process as they have been doing consistently over the last years. which
6:24 pm
is one of the things that has brought the situation to this head because the last elections were not seen as free and fair. there was a lot of, you know, the pre election. i would, you know, what was alleged to be rigging and iran was seen to be brought in with the military's blessings. and i, you know, i think is just something that we didn't see. and i really hope that whatever the supreme court decides on monday will help to take the democratic political process forward and that the military will step back and not into feel in a really good to get your take on events in pakistan, been a sava pakistani journalist based in cambridge, massachusetts. thank you. a position m p 's intro lanka, have defied a curfew to march in the capital and demand. the president stepped down. oh, government has declared
6:25 pm
a state of emergency and we can get you out to vine and demonstrations over worsening economic crisis. it's also bound all public gatherings and blocks social media artist as an angry about severe shortage is a food fuel and medicines. and l fernandez reports from colombo, the opposition, some luggage, unable of a gaze, who you see members are just behind me here at this barricade. that is preventing protesters from going towards independence square, the sort of monument of independence here, inter lanka. as you can see, there's basically a bank of police, there's military and 3rd, special task force ah personnel that are behind the line over here. these barricades have been constructed right across the road. all entry points, preventing and blocking off the independent square. and it's gotta go home, that's a rallying cry, obviously of the opposition. but even among the ordinary sher lumpkins, who are trying to organize to come together, despite the 36 our co field,
6:26 pm
that the government has announced that there are attempts for them to come together . that is just on the outskirts of colombo in a place called mariama. ordinary people have come together to protest despite the coffee and our bearing in mind that the government has really brought in all its arsenault to try and prevent these protests from happening. they have brought in the state of emergency, they have put in a curfew. they brought in an extraordinary gas at an additional one, preventing people from gathering in public places recreational grounds. but despite all of that, the anger and the frustration that to has being heard throughout the country seems to be drowning out all those efforts. and people are keen for their voices to be heard people in hungary, i can't sing that balance in an election, overshadowed by the war in neighboring ukraine. premier civic to oberon is a place ally of russian president vladimir putin on his hoping to extend his 12
6:27 pm
year tan. the race is the closest in years opposition. parties have come together to put up a single candidate under simmons reports from budapest. well, if look about a month buck, it was almost too close to coal of vic to all bond has made a lot of ground up amounts because he's been using the ukraine war possibly to his own advantage when it was the opposite reverse case a month ago, he's actually been suggesting that he is for peace because he is actually making sure that he doesn't get involved in the conflict. doesn't allow nato or to send any aid to the country from his territory. so therefore, he's taking that that, that actual angle and he's trying to reduce the heavy criticism he's received for having such a close relationship with vladimir putin. so that's the way he's been approaching it. the opposition for the 1st time is united and has been trying to gain ground
6:28 pm
and it's become well quite popular. certainly the biggest challenge yet to all bands position. only 6 people have been killed and 9 injured in a shooting in the u. s. stays of california happened in the as a sunday in a busy area of the state capital sacramento police close surrounding roads. no information has yet been given about the victims or any suspects. still, head on out as it comes on the streets will have more on the advice. israel's prime minister has given people off a series of fatal attacks have been dependent on animals for thousands of years. how the climate crisis is dramatically affecting livelihoods in somalia. uninstalled 5 years old from his last top level here and this former n f l quarterback says he still has hopes of coming ah
6:29 pm
hello, they will have a look at africa in a moment. the 1st. c to the middle east and it's a hot, dry and very settled picture with the temperature continue to climb across the levant, jerusalem, touching up into the early thirties. by the time we get into tuesday. now the temperature in baghdad will die down slightly thanks to a cooler wind that's blowing down, but the wind won't be an issue across the gulf states. we've seen temperatures above average here, with lots of sunshine and clear skies. now as we move to north africa, temperatures are continuing to rise in egypt. lots of hot weather in places like kyra and we've got some heat warnings out for molly. the temperature in 10 buck to edging up to 42 degrees for the really wet and windy weather. we have to look to that northwest corner some very heavy rain and strong winds on schedule for morocco
6:30 pm
rebut, touching down to 14 degrees. and some of those winds blowing across algeria, we are likely to see some sandstorms from that. now further south, this is where we find the wet weather. those storms and showers rolling across the central bell. we are seeing heavy rain and some storms sweep across eastern areas of south africa into f. 14. it will be wet in johannesburg on monday. but the sunshine will be back on tuesday that she weather iraq. a nation riddled with land mikes and an expert dedicated to defusing them, one by one. equipped with only a knife and a pair of wire puppies, he faces death every day. but does his work make him a hero or a target? witness?
6:31 pm
the d minor on al jazeera, we town the untold story. ah, we speak when others done. ah, we cover all sides. no matter where it takes us. a fan, sir. yeah, i am power in pasha. we tell your story. we are your voice, your news, your net al jazeera lou . ah, welcome back to watching out. as a reminder,
6:32 pm
our top story is this. our ukraine is coding on the international criminal court to visit the town of butcher near keith. people are alleged have been massacred that in what ukraine says could amount to war. crimes crushes deny the allegations that it kills civilians in boucher russia's defense ministry says it's missile strikes have destroyed an oil refinery. i'm 3 fuel storage facilities in odessa cranes. naval headquarters is in the port city. pakistan's opposition is challenging a decision to dissolve parliament and hold a new election in the next 90 days. supreme court is hearing the petition on monday at a prime minister among con, avoid it a no confidence motion, and parliament us return to that russian attack on the poor city of odessa out, as there is a mer lafayette near the scene of the attack, who i'm a lot of gun at that me or are you bomb albany or got the lima in of yours me. they are trying to hit the infrastructure of the city of the police and the mayor are
6:33 pm
preventing us from getting close to the scene to get pictures and video. because that would allow those responsible to see the results of the term luck and i have on your my be in a more, i'm my, yours, me. what got anybody one minute up, or this is a very important and strategic city in this letter will definitely has its own consequences island because people will start talking about the possibility of a land operation. and if this happens, it will scare some people who don't go about this attack is significant, and it will change things wirelessly about that. but when i was in court 9, i got a lot of little for what i thought my mother can walk her. and we've seen houses that have been damaged. this is a big huckleberry, li galban. let us take a closer look at why odessa is so important for both sides. in this conflict. it has ukraine's largest c port that handles about 65 percent of all it imports and exports. ukraine does not have any other large ports to use if it loses odessa. the
6:34 pm
navy's headquarters, the also there it was moved there after rushes annexation of crimea back in 2014. so if russia captures odessa, it could effectively dominate the northern coast of black sea and would also help the kremlin to open a land corridor to trans. next year, which is a russian speaking breakaway region off moldova, a. so to on day on to coff, he's a russian political unless he joins his life from moscow. good to have you on the program. a desk has been relatively unscathed by the russian military. until now, what do you think their strategy is in terms of taking the city? well. busy it is too early to talk about capturing the city. you see there is nikolai, to the east of this and russia who control the city at the moment. so before taking this, we have to take the procedure, nicholas, but this, in the same time,
6:35 pm
as you mentioned, this is an important board, and that goes of the black sea. and so if russia manage is to get to, to free the city. so russia will cut the ukraine of experts or in per so rush will, will be able to make pressure on ukraine, more pressure on ukraine, economical pressure, and so on. this is the thing, as for oil refinery. so those strikes, seeing, i think the main goal is to make shortages to the ukraine army if you will, shortages, of course, especially in the future of nikolai, that i mentioned previously. so this is the book, and i think it's too early to talk about the way to opperation in odessa or even nikolai, because the concentration now is the in the bus region. and i think there
6:36 pm
will be the most, the most significant section for the most fighting, but looking at or desa geographically and the areas around it. how difficult is it going to be for the craniums to defend odessa, one of the challenges? well, it's going to be very difficult because you see russia has the full control or black see that there are no ships there. so i think it's going to make may or may be difficult, difficult for the ukrainian army. so meanwhile, or russia also control the air over ukraine. so in general, easier we might see the operation there. but as i mentioned previously before, i bring the material that we have to deal with the city of nikolai. and you see there are look for fighting there at the moment. and let's talk about the
6:37 pm
attacking the russians attacking from the sea. what are the chances of that actually happening? and if it did happen, all the ukrainians ass clear disadvantage. well, you see there are lots of rumors about the lots of rumors about the attacking from, from the see those roars about, about nikolai, and we're seeing lots of reports here. the army and jesse korean are in this is preparing for such such thing. so maybe maybe we'll see this, but again i have to point that before i just have to free the city of nikolai to the east of this. and then we want to take control over this. busy and it's really very important for the course of lexie. ok,
6:38 pm
