war crimes on his calling for even tougher sanctions on moscow. when the atrocities were discovered after russia pulled back its troops from key towns near the capital, leaving ukraine in control of the key of region. officials in the town of butcher say around $300.00 civilians were killed there. many of them 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. i deserves emerald con has been to the town of butcher and he sent us this report. 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. he shall oh, brother, you want to get some wood when all of a sudden they started shooting. they hit him

a bit above the heel, crashing the boat, and he fell down. the chute shouted, don't scream or i will shoot and they turned away. then they shut off his left leg completely even with the boot. and they shot him all over the chest and another shot went slightly below the temple cover. it was a controlled shot to the head daughter. no, no. he the mayor of ki, visited boucher to show solidarity and express anger. is josiah jill side of ukraine, m population. more than shaw is it, people in russia, in the russian government have to pay for their baneful bribes. officials, gathering evidence and will submit their findings that may well form the basis of a war crimes investigation. you also be suitable for the shows and movies news, because i was here on to baby, find any hollow port unity to reduce that of what hopping of huron. all this view become evidence in our case, give is corey in the outskirts of boot church. russian forces showed houses the

residency. there were effectively held hostage, resumed them. the russians broke into our house is in 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 that 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 a lot longer to heal as well. the clean up grigory 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. m. wrong con our desert bhutto or rushes defense. last year, you're saying that ukraine's accusations are unfounded as its military units all left berkshire. 4 days before the footage was revealed. ashley hall bar brings us more on this now from the russian capital laska, 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 boucher on the 30th of march right after the talks in his thumb ball with the ukrainians. and thus when the announced as carrying back their military operation in care of and shirley. gov, they also blamed the ukrainian military for extensively shelling, southern outskirts of boucher than the russian minute. it says also that when it

took over butcher it paved the way for the civilians to leave the area. and some of the managed to go north to words. bella rose, now that the russian government says the thought of the mitchell pression in ukraine has been accusing the weiss and the united states of america for what he 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 or the killings in butcher promot global outreach and calls for an investigation

including from the head of the united nations. mike hanner reports on this now from washington. the image is emerging from the town of boucher have sent ripples of shock and revulsion around the globe. indeed this is genocide appearing on a usa network. ukraine's president cited them as yet more prove that russia is conducting a campaign of genocide. we are the citizens of ukraine, and we don't want to be subdued to the policy of russians and rapes. this is the reason we're being destroyed and extra emanated. and this is happening in the europe up the 21st century. so this is the torture of the whole nation, rushes aggression, us secretary of state, describe the images as a punch to the gut, since the aggression we've come out and said that out, we believe that russian forces have committed

a war crimes. and we've been working to, to document that to provide the information that we have to are the relevant institutions and organizations that are, will put all this together. and there needs to be accountability for the reaction of the u. s. western allies was some done by the german chancellor, the modern, fancy v listeners, thanks for bringing the murder of civilians as a war crime that we must relentlessly investigate these crimes committed by the russian army horses. the sentinel, i demand that international organizations, such as the international committee of the red cross, be given access to these areas to document i atrocities and tear the perpetrators, and those in charge of them must be held accountable about missing. so i shoved catawba, the issue of accountability is echoed in the statement by the un secretary general . i'm deeply shocked by the images of civilians killed in boucher ukraine. he says it's essential that an independent investigation leads to effective accountability . in his interview, president lensky also called for increased sanctions,

but added that what was even more important was formal security guarantees from the u. s. in particular, the us secretary of state suspensions are continually being reviewed and if necessary, tightened. but the bite and administration has been silent on the issue of written security guarantees, and that will be a matter for discussion at the white house in coming days, as well as in congress. mike hanna jazeera washington. let's discuss this now. if he williamson who's director of the europe and central h division that human rights watch, george me now from berlin. even before boot, shall russia been accused of targeting civilians indiscriminately? your organization had recorded violations against civilians and the chinese have her keys. and the key of regions of ukraine, you've described that as a power war crimes. what do you make of this evidence now of atrocities and in

places like boots and pain? having me. sadly, it's not too surprising, given the evidence we published in our report today of very serious abuses, unbelievable cruelty in fact, by russian soldiers executions, a rape in one case, as well as another serious abuses by, by individual russian soldiers. so we haven't got evidence of what happened to the 300 people that you mentioned me or port in butcher. but we are very concerned that they could have been similar executions that took place there. given the evidence we've gathered and published today, i want to ask you about that because you document a case of repeated, right. and so on summary executions. what did witnesses victims? local residents tell you?

what is important to understand that in the past the last few weeks we've been documenting bombings, which, which affected civilians, humanitarian problems, illegal use of cluster munitions and that sort of thing. but this is the 1st time we really documented relatives, victim of re telling us 1st hand what's been happening. so we talked to mothers of soldiers who were killed out also in boucher. we talked to the woman who was raped multiple times by a, by a russian. so during the school, the hockey's, we talked to other relatives of, of men who were killed in a village near kiev. so this is 1st hand testimony, checked with other sources. also with photo and video evidence as well. and this is very damning some of the in terms of war crimes, because this is really goes to the heart of the geneva conventions of the sort of things russian troops should not be doing or into national criminal court. is open

investigation to illegible crimes and crimes against humanity. it just days after the invasion and a moved quite rapidly, which is unusual for the court. securing a conviction though can be difficult. one of the challenges investigation is likely to face in terms of bringing defendants to trial and gathering evidence from a war zone. exactly. i mean, it's russian's responsibility to, to bring to justice, those soldiers who committed these war crimes. also the commanders are allowed to happen. unfortunately, we may not expect russia to do that the other or does need to be taking steps. ukraine needs to be gathering and protecting the evidence, the bodies, and other evidence taking witness statements and so on. other bodies such as the i c. c. as you mentioned, the national criminal court is very difficult, obviously in a war zone, to protect that evidence in this way. in that sense,

we would support the international cold, such as from germany, international red cross to be allowed in to be part of this forensic operation which is necessary to put, to preserve the evidence and such atrocities. in order for it to be fed into an accountability process, so isn't through the icpc. and you alluded that to the issue of intent, which can be very difficult to prove that if there are so many cases and incidence care, it's part of a pattern of behavior. so when you, it's very difficult and, you know, just drawing on your experience and expertise on this, is it been, you documented rape murder and your report goes into a lot of detail. is it your sense that the soldiers were following orders or acting of their own volition? how do you make sense of this? it's very difficult to tell where we are very cautious about the, about projecting passions into this case,

because that's why it's important to identify these individual faces. so we can't really talk about the, the motivation. i mean, one cases are interesting in the me, the documented the threat of murder against 2 people from a commander and then another russian soldier intervened and said, no, this should not happen when the commander back down and the 2 were released. so in that incidents there was a so come on doing both and instructing soldiers to murder civilians. so we can see there that there was a, there was a chain of command element, but the other ones we simply do not know will continue to document them. but we do need to try to establish whether the soldiers are indeed acting under a command or whether they are acting on to their own actions. thank you very much. i appreciate it. he joining us on the news hour to talk about is he williams and director of here been centralized division at human rights watch. thank you for having ukraine's deputy i minister says 11 may as have been kidnapped by

russian forces. she is also accused russian soldiers of killing the mayor of a village near keith. sort of business dealing at the retreat keys grew up with the she was unfortunately killed in captivity by the rushes. this is a war crime. the guilty will inevitably be punished in accordance with international humanitarian law. as of today, 11 heads of local communities from kia have shown hot keep zappa, georgia michel live, and donna screeches are in captivity. is a clicker and what we call on every one on whom it depends to do everything possible to make sure our civilians are mayers. are clergymen if you journalist activists are release on. russian troops have fired automatic guns in t. r to disperse people, protesting against the invasion and southern ukraine. a peaceful crowd had gathered in the port city of car hope, hooker,

not far weighing her son, residents. there also held a demonstration denouncing the russian occupation. was ever in russian rockets of it, the black sea ported nikolai of where ukrainian troops had been fighting off a russian assault governess as one person died and 14 were injured. and then in the last few minutes, the witch's news agencies reported that a series of explosions have been hired in the nearby city of odessa earlier on. russian missile struck infrastructure near odessa. moscow says they destroyed an oil refinery in 3 fuel storage facilities used by the ukrainians to supply troops in mic. ally of homes were also damaged in the attack. moves moved or more shambles . stross released, i was at home and i was scared because the walls were shaking. it was a big explosion through likely from a rolling garage, adams, normal, i have never seen something like that. would you be willing to close the sky? horrible because we don't want an authority again throughout the orchard or a desert has been the main base fee crane's navy since russia annexed crime near in

2014 is poor handle, 65 percent of all ukraine's imports and exports. if taken, it would create a land corridor between russia, crimea, and brushing occupy trans nice street effectively cutting ukraine off from the c. r 's. there is armor lafayette, near the scene of the attack in odessa, who i'm a lot of gun at that meal or human albany or got the lima being abused me. they are trying to hit the infrastructure of the city. all 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 turn. like an eye on him again, i'm where am i yours? me. what gary about men on up with this is a very important and strategic city. in 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 could not like a camera. jennifer, what i thought my mother can walter and we've seen houses that have been done. ok. this is a big uh bottom line slide for you on this news out from london seeking shelter in the mountains. we meet ukrainians who left everything behind to find safety. with the lower mon cancer, his pakistan into political turmoil cancelling a confidence though he looked set to lose and dissolving parliament, and in support. the touching confusion that could prove costly the legally dis, chaney fall late. ah, all of shall. anchors, cabinet ministers have resigned except for the prime minister earlier. hundreds of people, including opposition, empties to fight a coffee to protest. an unprecedented economic crisis in the country government

declared a state of emergency after violent demonstrations. they bound old public gatherings and blocked social media. protest is angry about severe shortages of food fuel and medicines. earlier i spoke to michelle fernandez about this. she is in colombo, in the immediate timeframe was to be president and prime minister brothers fox will have to do is to appoint a cabinet to replace the resign not of ministers. now the only issue in terms of implications is that the sort of resignation on marks of the cabinet, the collectivistic nation, follows weeks and weeks of protest by the non public sort of getting angrier and angrier and more and more frustrated. and today, sort of cognitively, people coming on to the st 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 ford, 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, it's just the nation that it give the president the re and the room to appoint a new cabinet. potentially, a consensus cabinet pulling in a different park is representative of different properties. that court has come in recent times from even 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. now to pakistan, the prime minister has thrown the country into political limbo off to canceling a confidence vote. he look set to lose and run con, then dissolve parliament. so new elections can be held in the next 90 days.

opposition is challenging the decision now with the supreme court due to have the petition on monday. some avenger reports from as long ago, 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 and whatnot. the deputy speaker immediately dismissed the notary spoke against prime minister in mon pon. minutes after he appeared on state tv residence i'd go advised his dear. i advised the president to dissolve the national assembly under article $58.00 in austin nation to prepare for fresh elections with buyers, massage, and on q, the president announced the dissolution of the assembly position in bees called the actions illegal and unconstitutional. in the absence of the speaker and his deputy, an interim speaker in a 195, m. p. 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 boxed um, it's a quote. the constitutional pakistan does, has one legitimate democratic means to remove the prime minister bugs us through. our constitution does not allow for, for them to not hold. we'll do today on the, on the new continuous motions. as our constitution does not allow the speaker to promote the session as they have done. our constitution does not allow the president, fox dawn to try and dissolve the assemblies while ago 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 and issued notice as 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 pakistan is, will feel and think and act like i do have any little say in the matter the deputy attorney general has resign thing, his government's actions and constitution. while the government has indicated that elections will be held in 90 days, no prime minister has ever completed 5 years in office in buck a son, and not for the 1st time its democracy is looking to the judiciary, to help it survive a constitutional crisis. some of the job of era is i'm about joining us now. is ayesha said dick a pakistani political scientist and senior fellow at the department of war studies at kings college london. were you expecting this move by prime minister in law. com, the dissolution of parliament and the triggering of fresh elections? you know, honestly, one of the things that he had something but not days. one was expecting that he may get the members of the opposition party rash did. in fact,

sheila was sent from his body that he may try to get shall bosher eve, whose leader off the be relent than some others arrested. but not this. do you believe that the military had nothing to do with the current situation? when the ministry is all powerful, i mean, i feel that is not the army chief, then somewhere down the line. they all segments of the military continue to support him. i mean, look at the way, ron, from smiles and the confidence that he had, i think the very few people would believe that he doesn't have confidence or some segments of the military. so what could that mean for his political future? well, it seems, you know, the way he has, especially the way he has played out, played up story. the whole thing about a conspiracy to, you know,

eliminate his government, a regime change. so he claims by the united states is even take a name off the system to prove states. the central asian south asia as visiting is the basset in washington and delivering threat messages. he is trying to build that up in order to develop the narrative, which then would help him in the next election. that says, that's his goal. i mean, he's a man, not of politics, but of narrative. in bron hahn is known for building up net or june and not really, you know, come up with political solution. so this is what he is doing. he's trying to, on the one hand push back his political opposition with all. so push back the army . gee, who this morning in fact, gave a statement as

a supplemental saying that in the ukraine, russia crises, he would warn russia to the droll. and he put his support. you know, in favor of you grades and various in brown calling prime to so former prime minister through run con, saying very clearly that united states did not like his visit to russia and that he didn't like washington doesn't like him pursuing an independent foreign policy. and that baki is all he would go on his way for an independent partner policy. 3 of american russia, of course, is not clear if elections are going to be held. the opposition parties are taking their cases supreme court. but you say he's a man, he's a natural communicator, is a man of narratives, a people going to buy this narrative or has he gone a step too far by creating a constitutional crisis in the country?

i think he has complicated things a bit too much. i think it's a serious, i mean on the one hand, it's about reflection. i'm not excited at all by the fact that elections will be held and, you know, we will be able to get rid of this problem maker and run on because he's generated constitutional prices. it's an important wants to show the matter whether he or his president who was always the party faithful, can dismiss an apology. and because you know, because there is already a no fun for the motion against him in the parliament without deciding on that, can they allow him to dismiss the government? so there is a future crisis. the ball and the judiciary is going to, you know, do, do, do decide on that. but while all of this is happening, and i wish they decide in a couple of days or less, instead of kind of sitting on it, because if they sit on it,

then it benefits and ron khan, and we know that it benefit him not. but i think what is important is that he is trying to build an environment and network where in the next election he benefits. so even if i mean, just to give a reference nevaeh, shirley barton was a former president of audrey had named the army chief of the g s. people who were conspiring in favor of iran on against him. and now there is this argument which had made the military fairly unpopular in punjab, which is the heart of focus on is the largest problem as far as population since now iran seems to be hitting back trying to reclaim his popularity in full job and he wants to kind of at least re gain some of the seats in the parliament and

next action. thank you for that comprehensive analysis. i shifted directly joining a staff from that wealth from king's college. under the will studies department, i actually go to yemen. now the government is accused the, who thes a violating the 2 month truce, which started on saturday. military source is quoted in local media, se the rebels launched attacks targeting army positions. it's kind of who these took advantage of the ceasefire in the absence of coalition at crofts and military reinforcements, an attack army positions, there's been no comment on this so far from the fees themselves are, is much more to had for you on the program. 6 people have been killed after a mass shooting in the hearts of california's state capital was at warnings that somalia is facing famine as itself as it was drought in 40 years. and that is for 5 years on from his last level. appearance is full man a help. what a back says. he still has hopes of a return. ah

hey, there 24 hours ago we were talking about powerful winds through the south of france . now the danger zone is going to be right across the job. walters, straight on monday, are these winds whipping 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 brothers 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. it's going to be a cloudy day on monday, but i think we will see that 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 gonna be

my goals dealership of france has been beset with turmoil and punches on politics. now the president seats a new term and office the far right become his biggest electric challenge with, with will it's hard line rhetoric the overshadowed by international event. people in power investigates, frances, fearful come pay on it just either way . oh, main stories. now ukraine is accused rusher of carrying out a deliberate mastercard,

killing some $300.00 civilians. its forces retreated from the town of virginia keith. it says it has evidence of war crimes in his calling for tough sanctions against russia, which has denied the accusations all shrank as cabinet ministers have resigned except for the prime minister as purchase of economic cuz economic crisis continued . people gather despite the government imposing a weekend coffee to stop them and locking social media and pakistan's from ministers, throwing the country to political limo off to counseling a confidence vote. he looks at to lose and mark on then does all parliament so that new elections can be held in the next 90 days. your position is challenging that decision or more than 4000000 people have fled. ukraine in a similar number are internally displaced. most people have gone to border areas to seek safety, but many cities are also getting full. stephanie decor, travel to use god in the cup hyphen mountains, which has become home for now to some 300000 people from other parts of the country

. deep in the mountains in western ukraine, close to the borders with slovakia and hungry people fleeing war or coming to find peace. this is one of many centers and it was good for the internally displaced. olga and her husband or from car keith. they left their city under heavy, shedding their though for sold as got the family, the knowledge in it. it was terrible when we saw the 1st plains. i was terrified. i didn't believe it. we packed all things in 5 minutes. it's taken me a long time to recover from the trip here. look on yours. i believe the law. mm hm . my soul is a king. it aches from my home. this is my mother land and it was so difficult to leave really difficult. this is their home or what's left of it with him lawyers, real worried and this is where they sleep. now, rob, hoosier hood, my viola. it's just fine. she tells us it's safe. and that is all that matters now

that he is doing it by looking well who tatiana sleeps next to them with her son work? she tells us she's from landscape near the russian occupied part, but the city is under ukrainian control. her story is about ordeal to well credit, your bidding and yelling my letter. we were waiting in a small basement, hoping it would end for almost 3 weeks. we finally left in a humanitarian corridor which took 4 days to be successful. with that, they weren't even 5 minutes of calm. they bombed us, day and night. our city is almost fully destroyed. i have nowhere to go back to going back. that's what everyone here wants for now, waiting it out as far away from the war as they can physically get without leaving their country. this one of the very few regions of ukraine that hasn't been attacked. this hall tells the story of the entirety of this war. people are from mary poll from car key from the hang from danielle, from nikolai of, from around at the capital key. many of them fled under shelling each with their

own stories of hell. and they keep coming. registration takes place in the center of was good with the city, basic supplies, clothes, medicine, toys are handed out. it is now 6 weeks into this war. and officials put the internally displaced in this region at around a quarter of a 1000000 people is told her about as good as crowded. they added a day and night. but many now dont even reach us as this is this foot so replaced them and other areas around that asian is also putting a lot of pressure on the city and it's residence, alo, hot, bailey. e. people can still come and stay with their relatives at home. i have family with me too, but all hotels and apartments are full. they are really crowded. be no, it's not local people. as we can see. the card number plates from oliver ukraine, papa. yes. lives on hold, and yet life must continue. many here tell us they have gotten used to this routine,

sharing their space happy to be safe. but at the same time, everything has changed, and many fear their lives may never be the same again. stephanie decker, al jazeera was good in the trans, carpathian mountain range. a go to hungry now, where the prime minister of 8 to all banners declared victory in an election, which was overshadowed by the war and neighboring ukraine. or banners, a close ally of the russian president vladimir putin. he is that to extend his 12 year rule with preliminary results, giving his party a 135 seats in the 199, a member of parliament. it was expected to be the closest election in years after 6 opposition party is join forces to put up a single candidate against or ban. under simmons is life for us in congress, capital budapest, it appears to be a vote that to define expectations it most certainly dead to oh, band. with a crowd. elated with his victory chanting to him,

he declared that it was a major victory. more than the will not more than he expected, but as large as last time. and he said it was so big he could see it from the moon, and he could certainly see it from brussels above reference to the earth in union. now he's a leader. the longest serving leader, the e u, and he's one of its chief critics. his monster, the on many occasions over issues where he considers of the liberal when his policies are well criticized by many people as being semi or for a terry. and some go further than that, he regards himself as the hob man of europe, and he has indeed managed to turn things around after some very negative results of his visit to moscow. 3 weeks before a russia invaded ukraine,

and his meeting with vladimir putin over gas deals and some talk of, of peacekeeping, but certainly no results. and then beyond that, he was part of the e u decision on the sanctions, which played out negatively with russia, obviously. and he got himself in a bit of a fix, but he turned that around somehow. and then we move on then to this. quite remarkable, it seemed at the start of it advantage that the opposition had, they've had a unification of 6 separate opposition, parties and pizza. mocking marquis vi, the leader had seemed to have an impression, but he had a lot of restrictions in access to the media. and he has just declared his defeat. he's apologize to his supporters. he says there is no democracy in ukraine

. he said that gave it everything, but he'll be judged by by god, and he'll be judged by the people of ukraine in that he tried his level best along with his fellow members of his alliance. so yes, it's an incredibly sad atmosphere here at the opposition headquarters. long faces around and elation in the field as ruling party camp is. he's a, he's been, he's had his fashion of criticism and at the opposition uniting in this way. it's something that had not happened before. why did the, why did the epistle gone this way? interesting because that it would seem that it was a combination of inaccurate opinion, polling possibly a, but certainly he, he took a decision where there was a negative force affecting his party,

he thought, affecting those opinion polls. he turned it round by declaring that he was a peacemaker. and, and also announced that he would definitely not involve himself in sending any arms or aid of any kind in a military way or to the ukrainian capital or in a part of ukraine. he didn't want any part in the war here, assured his supporters, but he would keep this country out of your crime. well, it's a you members of nato member, it would have been involved in any way. but he, his narrative seemed to work with the supporters because he really scared them. and he also assured them that he would keep them safe, effectively. he was seen as incredibly strong and stable and that appears to be the biggest weapon he had in the end to actually get the support and get this victory, which appears to be on projections that exists right now. a 2 thirds majority. so at least as strong as his last majority in 2018. a 4th term is underway for

this man. thank you very much. andrew simmons are related from budapest. well over in so be as the incoming president there is on the blue churches also declared victory in the vote. he got 59.8 percent. the nearly 60 percent of the votes, according to a projection by post as ips us an seed said based on a sample of partial polling. and now lieut churches campaigned on promises of peace and stability, or in ukraine is put, said beyond the pressure to choose between its traditional ties with moscow and aspirations to join the european union. al jazeera is boy honest, out of ich, is live now in belgrade. tell us about reaction there to this declaration of victory by alexander, which yes, when we look at the 1st results, we can see that there will be no 2nd term of presidential election. so that would, which will stay a president of serbia for more actually 5 more years. as for the parliamentary

elections, it seems that he's rolling parties or been progressive party will be the one who will be able to form the government with it's coalitions partners. and also will have the most members in the national assembly. when we look at the opposition, they will become actually have members in the national assembly. and they still didn't see their chance in the capital of serbia belgrade. but we're still waiting for the results. for belgrade, because we don't have any results for belgrade yet. so it seems that some ruling party of water will continue its decade of rolling and will be the one forming the government as far as the ukraine. it seems that lead me to remind you that ukraine actually, serbian government was the one adopted un resolution resolution condemning the invasion of ukraine, but did not impose sanctions on russia. so it remains to see because having in mind

that serbia is a membership candidate, what will happen if the pressure will be rising once the government is formed? and we will see what will happen in belgrade if the opposition will come inside institutions and see what will happen if we, when we form the government. when actually, once the government is formed to see what will be relations between serbia, russia, ukraine, and especially regarding the so b as membership state for you. yes, we see the warn ukraine casting a shadow over the election and hungry and then also affecting serbia in this way. how much pressure is alexander which is likely to get from moscow? yes, it seems that there was not enough pressure because all people had in mind that we are having elections. but it seems at this point because we are very independent, actually dependent on russia. if we look at the, actually all the connections with russia,

but it will not be surprising if we see more pressure, especially from russia, but especially from e u. so we will see what will happen because these are, let me remind you 1st, 1st results and we will have, well, other results during the day, tomorrow or even in the evening. so it will not be surprising for which is to face more pressure from both russia, but also you. thank you very much. bye ernest, the owner, the chip, it lifers. there in belgrade. well, is no clear favorites in costa rica where people are also voting in a presidential run off. they are choosing between a former president as emory of the garrison political outsider, a long time. well, bank official, rodrigo chavez, who is promising to shake up the political system, the main issues for voters in this election, high employment, rising cost of living corruption and also migration from haiti. at least 6 people have been killed and another 12 injured in
