outrage around the world. ukraine's government says it has evidence of war crimes is calling for even tougher sanctions on moscow now. or russia has pulled back its troops from key towns near the capital, even ukraine in control of the key of region. but they are leaving mines behind. officials in the town of butcher se around 300 civilians have been killed there, many buried in mass graves, some showing signs of torture. russia has denied the accusations. it's now repositioning its forces for more attacks in the south and east of ukraine, where you cranes present. rhodium is zalinski, says russia is trying to eliminate the whole nation of ukraine. this is indeed, this is young genocide, natur, june jim was missing and i did not always the 1000000 elimination of the whole nation and the people, gentlemen,

we are the citizens of new printer. we have more than a 100 nationalities, this is about the data destruction and extermination of all the we are the citizens of ukraine, and we don't want to be subdued to the policy of russia. the reason we are being study destroyed and exterminated, and this isn't happening in the europe of the 21st century. so this is the torture of the whole nation. or there is and my can as life present key event. you were in the town of butcher alley. and man, what did you say? well, we saw some herring and horrific scenes a in the sand. there were still bodies on the streets were when we were there they hadn't been picked up because they're waiting to be recorded and registered, but we're hearing from ukrainian politicians to very key terms. now the 1st one,

as you heard vladimir zalinski just say as genocide, that's a word that's being repeated by many ukrainian politicians. they calling this a genocide, a genocide is actually a very specific legal term. but they're using it in a much more a motive term here in ukraine. the 2nd one that we're hearing, 2nd term we're hearing is war crimes. now there will the ukrainian say that they will investigate everything that they find in boot. i and other places. and they will take this to the highest levels and they will try and get a prosecution on russia for war crumbs or seem to be determined to do that. and the that was what the attorney general seem to be saying in a statement. she released her earlier today, but as i say absolutely harring scenes from boucher before i show you this report. i do want to warn you that it contains graphic images right from the start. 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. a silent witness as 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, genocide of ukraine, m population. more than sure, as the 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 eaten is 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, give is glory. in the outskirts of beecher, russian forces shelled houses the residency. there were effectively held hostage were sewell at them. the russians broke into our house isn't took them 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 searched 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, wrote the scars, that this town is feeling will take a lot longer to heal as well. the clean up grigory tries to sweep away some of their debris, but it's almost futile. he tries anyway, but the scale of destruction is simply too much as you are saying in lines of

a strong language being used by ukrainian politicians and jose now gathering evidence of atrocities in these places. tell us more about the reaction from president zalinski. well, more strong words from him actually what he said, he had a message for europe and he began by saying that he wants to invite her present merkel and sa cosy, of france, to come to boucher and to see what 14 years of concessions to russia leads to that's a, a, a common on the fact that, o rushes supplies much of the gas and president's lens. he says that actually, europe is pretty much beholden to russia when it comes to energy supplies. he also went on to say that he wants rushes leaders to see what their orders have done in ukraine. so lots of very strong words coming out of a very emotive words coming out from presidents lensky. and in the coming days,

as we find out more and more what's going on in boucher particularly. but also down in caucasian journey of in murray. of all, you'll hear more of that language and perhaps even stronger. thank you very much. and keep in mind con, joining us or in terms of the international reaction to all of this has been condemnation in the west, not least here in the you, k persons prime ministers, john the chorus of that condemnation, all the killings and boot. jenny barker joins us live in the studio. tell us more about what vice johnson has been saying. yeah, that's what we'll be with or so. so no shortage of condemnation across the whole of your ursula on the lane describing the images. i just seen it rouse reporters being unspeakable horrors of boys johnson. you're right. it was why firm and his comments saying that he would do everything in his power to staff putin's war machine. and he said that they're doing all the lay the groundwork for more sanctions, a more lethal aids, a ukraine as well. if trust, britton's foreign secretary has said that these atrocities alleged atrocities

should be investigated as war crimes. and everything should be done possible to avoid a disinformation campaign by russia when it comes to sanctions. what are we looking at or the possibility of deepening sanctions of russia's financial sector on, on the key individuals. but so also potentially on it shipping routes to when it comes to lethal aids. well, this week there's been some talk about the possibility of arming the ukrainians with anti ship weapons that would help the ports of odessa. and as he said, the eel is now preparing to introduce more sanctions. tell us about the reaction from germany and the response from chancellor left shelter, dell of shoulder. so very much echoing the words of boris johnson in suggesting that germany, along with its allies, i would be mulling the possibility of deepening sanctions and also supplying further lethal and non lethal 8 to ukrainian forces. let's not forget that germany has really gone 180 on its axis in terms of supplying weapons to,

was owns on bolstering its armed forces. and as of course, you know, frozen the north stream to gas pipeline. but the question is, will it go further and completely ending its love affair with russian oil and gas? we know the e u is open to cut supplies by 2 thirds by the end of the year. germany, why it's energy about 60 percent of it currently comes from russia. the question is whether it can take or can go the extra mile without having serious ramifications on ordinary german consumers and german industry. of course, only thanks. i much. oh rushes defense ministry says that ukraine's accusations are unfounded. it's military units, all left boot shaft 4 days before the footage was revealed. ash marlborough has more on this. now from moscow, the russian ministry of defense dismissed the reports about massa came butcher as

force and a provocation. they say that their military units pulled out from butcher on the 30th of march right after the talks in istanbul with the ukrainians. and that's when the announced is killing back their military operation in kia and shirley gov. they also blamed the ukrainian military for extensively shelling southern oscars of butcher than the russia minute. it says also that when it took over butcher a pave the way for the civilians to leave the area and some of the managed to go north to words. bella rose, now the russian government says a start of the mitchell operation in ukraine has been accusing the west and the united states of america for what it has been describing as an unprecedented disinformation war. they say that the west have been using all those reports about

civilian casualties, to deflect attention from the core issues that the russians have been talking about . and the grievances that they have been looking forward to see an answer to a particularly the need for nato to stop expanding eastwards and for ukraine to stop getting advanced weapons from the u. s. and from the west of development elsewhere, russian troops have hide automatic guns. into the i to despise people protesting against invasion in southern ukraine. the peaceful crowd had gathered in the port city of cosca far away, and carson residence also held a demonstration that denouncing of russian occupation officials is saying that russian missiles of struck critical infrastructure, navy, southern ukrainian ports of odessa, moscow is saying they destroyed an oil refinery in 3 fuel storage facilities used by ukraine to supply its troops, the mac elias were fighting off

a russian soap. bad homes were also damaged in the attack. moved the merchant bootstrap procedure was at home, and i was scared because the wolves were shaking. it was a big delusion through like, if unable to adams, don't. i have never seen something like that, right? you need to close the sky because we don't want to get the death. there's been the main base for ukraine's navies in russia. annex crimea, in 2014 support, handle, 65 percent of all ukraine's imports and exports. if taken, it would create a land corridor between russia, crimea, and russian occupied trans nice drea effectively cutting ukraine off from the c adversaries. ahmed lassie is near the scene of the attack in odessa, where another gun at that meal or human albany are got de leon medina. yours me. they are trying to hit the infrastructure of the city of the police and the mayor are preventing us from getting close to the scene to get pictures and videos.

because that would allow those responsible to see the results of the ifta luck. and i have on here might be no more am i yours, me will carry body of i'm not up with this is a very important and strategic city. and this term will definitely has its own consequences 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 well. see about that. my mother cannot get coverage a little for what i thought my mother can walk there and we've seen houses that have been damaged. this is a big bottom li on death has remained defiant, celebrating its cultural traditions, despite the looming threat of being invaded by russia. ah, musicians and singers have been performing to crowds from balconies above the city

streets. some, it was their 1st public performance in thrasher attack ukraine. he ought to say their goal is to offer a brief reprieve from the misery of wall. even being on not a hawk sport. this war with canada. i'm totally new to this war where a chicken been use of 40 times monday we are expecting something bad to happen every 2nd. and i will go right now is the to give people one hour when they can view this. do you live in a normal life? still had for you on the program. enron, convers pakistan into political turmoil, cancelling a confidence phone except to lose and dissolving parliament. and 6 people are dead after a mast shooting in the heart of california state capital will bring you all the details shortly. ah

hey, there 24 hours ago we were talking about powerful winds through this south of france . now the danger zone is going to be right across the gibraltar, straight on monday. these winds weapon up here, a lot of what, whether it's going to be a washout that's going to drop into the northwest of africa as wall central parts of europe. right now we've got a lot of cloud cover hanging around here and where there's cloud cover that could squeeze out some moisture off to the northwest. we go a batch of rain plugging the islands of ireland in britain that's going to slam into the low countries winds. are picking up here as well, snow for a southern scandinavian, the baltic states in the zone, we could see about 2 to 5 centimeters of snow off to the southeast right now we had some rain roll through is stumble at it's going to be cloudy day on monday, but i think we will see the sun poke out to blue sea showers. have dropped your temperature down to 17 degrees. ok, here's a look at all that. what, whether toward the north west of africa right now, it's going to be

a washout here. we peel out, give you a wider look. we've got some high temperatures, heart to met, 44. you're going to lock in there for the next few days, and showers in storms across the gulf of getting land toward southern africa right now. still eastern areas of south africa plagued by wet weather and it looks like showers dance back into cape town on monday with a height of 22. ah, iraq, a nation riddled with landmarks and an expert dedicated to defusing them, one by one. equipped with only a month and the pair of war parties, the faces death every day, but does his work make him a hero or a target witness? the minor on a just 0. lou

ah, a reminder of the main stories were following this. our ukraine is accused rusher of carrying out a deliberate massacre, killing some $300.00 civilians as his forces retreat from the town of ucc and nick eve. it says it has evidence of war crimes and is calling for tough sanctions against russia. moscow denied these accusations. russia missiles of the southern ukrainian ports of odessa. moscow says they destroyed an oil refinery and 3 fuel storage facilities used by you crate despite troops nam mc alive. now we want to talk to sri lanka because the cabinet ministers have resigned all of them except the prime minister. earlier hundreds of people including opposition, m. p. 's,

define a coffee to protest against the unprecedented economic crisis. he government declared a state of emergency after violent demonstrations, find old public gatherings unblocked social media. protest is angry about severe shortages of food, food, fuel, and medicines. let's go to min l fernandez for reaction. now. she joins us on the line from colombo. obviously, that was an existing crisis with a state of emergency, and a shortage is of a basic goods. what does the resignation of the cabinet now mean for sure? lanka, in the immediate time frame to be president and prime minister brother logic fox will have to do is to appoint a cabinet to replace the resign lot of ministers. now the only issue in terms of implications is that the of the resignation on marks of the cabinet, the collective as a nation,

follows weeks and weeks of protest by the public. sort of getting angrier and angrier and more and more frustrated and today, sort of cognitively, people coming onto the street defining a government curfew. but the only thing is that, that anger has been very much directed at the top and to a lesser extent, to the 5 minutes. obviously they also hold the government at fault. but what we're finding is that we have the resignation nouns of the cabinet batting in mind that that makes the we, as we have been told by the ministers is confirmed with nation. that it give the president the re and the room to appoint a new cabinets. potentially a consensus cabinet pulling in different park is representative of different properties. that court has come in recent times from even continuing parties of the government so that they would pay the board allowing the president and the prime

minister to bring in a whole bunch of new faces. but could the president himself, is he likely to survive this? put it this way, the president has kind of stood firm in terms of the face of all of this sort of rallying cry, which has become more and more for us. it has had many, many still good. like go to go home. the roger boxes must leave enough is enough and the president has sort of come out in the number of addresses. you've been nation even speeches, public forums. this is given. you're talking about the background, what has brought along to its current situation. batting in mind that this need to get on the crisis facing for in the fallen incomes are fallen, has been the result of stuff double with almost to program it right from 2019 when

we had the bombing, which is tourism, followed by the pandemic for almost 2 and a half years, and now even the income that you get from you can in russia in the form of key and things like that, also being affected by the parent conflict. so all of these things have been hard. but the problem being that what observing see management government, the lesson planning and corruption has exacerbated the problem and the economy. so the president courses for the briefest, he said that he hasn't created the problem. it's not his fault, not clearly word that the people want to hear. but he has talked about him having to deal with the multiple crises. so as to whether this change of faces of the cabinet is going to appease the london public, will have to be seen in the coming days. all right, thanks very much. michelle, fernandez all the nations from colombo shrine. co cabinet has just resigned in the

past hour. now to pakistan on the opposition, there is challenging a decision by prime minister iran calm to dissolve parliament and hold it election in the next 90 days. upon him, his deputy speaker refused to hold a confidence vote, which con was expected list. a supreme court is due to hell, a petition. on monday sullivan job aid reports now from islamabad. o members of parliament arrived expecting a vote of no confidence, but in what some say appeared to be a planned exercise. the newly appointed law minister said the resolution was linked to a foreign conspiracy to contact them with. the deputy speaker immediately dismissed the notice boat against prime minister in mont hon. minutes after he appeared on state tv. presidents, i go advised his dear. i advised the president to dissolve the national assembly under article 58 in austin nation to prepare for fresh elections. buyer's visitors and on cue the president announced the dissolution of the assembly. opposition and

bes paul, the actions illegal and unconstitutional. in the absence of the speaker and his deputy, an interim speaker in a 195 impedes, went ahead with the vote of no confidence. a simple vote has turned into a constitutional crisis. according to the opposition, the only way forward is abiding by democratic norms and the rule of law in pakistan, it's a court. the constitutional fact, sanders has one legitimate democratic means to remove the prime minister bugs us through. our constitution does not allow for a, for them to not hold. we'll do today on the, on the new consciousness motions, as our constitution does not allow the speaker to parole the session as they have done. our constitution does not allow the president of pakistan to try and dissolve the assemblies well enough of his motion is spending. so all that is done today is not to force a free and fair election. is to force an unfair election to create a constitutional crisis. in an exceptional decision,

the supreme court heard the opposition's plea in issued notices to all concerned parties. is this a banana republic, or is it a constitutional republic? i honestly feel that this is not going to turn into a banana republic if the millions of pakistani, so feel and think and act like i don't have any that little say in the matter the deputy attorney general has resign thing. his government actions were unconstitutional. while the government has indicated that elections will be held in 90 days, no prime minister has ever completed 5 years in office in pakistan, and not for the 1st time. it's democracy, he's looking to the judiciary to help it survive a constitutional crisis from a job with other 0. his i'm about the 1st results are out in hungry election, which has been overshadowed by the war a neighboring ukraine. prime minister victor oberon is a close ally of the russian president vladimir putin. he's hoping to extend his 12 year term, but the race is expected to be the closest in years. i think opposition parties

join forces to put up a single candidate and resume into his life for us now in hungary, capital budapest, one of the early indications andrew, we have these pasha results out. well, we've just got some figures coming in now. hunger is few days, party fix robins ruling party is leading an $809.00 constituencies with the opposition leading and 17 and that's with around 35 percent of the votes counted. so it's very early days and it is a national list system. so don't be really convinced that it was going to be a such an outright victory as it seems from those figures. but the position is this opinion polls of suggested sylvia a month ago that the situation was near a place where you couldn't make a call. it's but so since then pinion poses just as up to 10 percent, 1010 points lead for a whole by party. now that is, this is going into

a place really that, that is much closer than, than ever before. remember that, victor? all, bam, this is seeking his fault. he's had 12 years as the leader of hungary. he's the most controversial figure within the european union. he has the longest term of any leader in europe in union, and his cause the most trouble within it. he's actually instituted a whole range of, of legislation which is aimed at restricting the media. he uses lots of means to restrict the media in a whole different areas, but particularly with with freedom speech and influencing the public from the opposition. for example, there's a whole series of, of problems with the opposition getting their message through getting only 5 minutes on stake tv, in terms of promoting that causes compared with endless campaign speeches run up,

i think, to all of them. so the backdrop to this election is pretty ugly in terms of right. in fact, some, some organizations, human rights organizations describe this government as it stands as being on the most on democratic in the european union. but anyway, we'll see later as to how close this this, this, this boat will go. so what would have to all been victory mean for hungry? what would it mean? what it would mean? certainly, if it was a good majority, the sort of jealousy have before it would mean he would pursue that. the current policies, such as discriminating against sex shows a whole raft of meshes aimed at bringing in more money from places like russia from china, from a. so have foreign relations with those 2 countries improved perhaps. and as far as

the european union goes, he would still be menacing in the way he approached the european union. but if his mandate was weakened, that might have a totally different effect and watch that 6 party alliance because it does have a lot of good ideas. it does have a lot of energy. it is very popular with a lot of people, but it hasn't got a message out because of the restrictions. thank you very much. anderson is following developments forces. we get those results to the election and hungry and tonight. thank you. and other action dominated by roches invasion of ukraine is so b as presidential parliamentary a poll. and now voters were deciding whether at present alexander route you should have a 2nd term. with the 1st exit poll results expected shortly. who churches campaigned on promises of peace and stability, but the war in ukraine has put, so be under pressure to choose between its traditional ties of moscow and

aspirations to join the european union. now in other news, the following, at least 6 people have been killed and 10 injured in a shooting in the us state of california. this happened in the early hours of sunday in the center of the state capital sacramento. no suspects are in custody and it's not clear if one or more attacker is responsible for this but to police are appealing for information or you have really limited information about 2 o'clock in the morning. last this morning. our officers were in the area here at 10th and k, and they heard shots being fired. they responded to our scene behind me and located a large crowd. they found that multiple people, unfortunately, had been shot. and this is a really tragic situation. ah, look at the main stories this hour and ukraine is accused rusher of carrying out

a deliberate massacre. as its forces retreated from the town of boots near keith, the hurrying images of bodies in civilian clothing lying in the streets of caused outrage around the world. officials in boucher say around $300.00.
