ah ah. okay, the main stories now ukraine has accused rusher of carrying out a deliberate massacre, killing some 300 civilians is as forces retreated from the town of virginia. keith says it has evidence of war crimes calling for tough sanctions against russia, which denies the accusations and have been more explosions reported in the southern ukrainian bought him a desa, which was hit by russian missiles aaliyah. moscow says it destroyed an oil refinery and 3 storage facilities used by you quite supplied troops. nikolai ev, we go to hungry now, where the prime minister victor oberon is declared victory and an election overshadowed by the war, neighboring ukraine,

or bodies. a close ally of the russian president vladimir putin, they set to extend his 12 year rule with preliminary results, giving his party a 135 seats in the 199 member of parliament. it was expected to be the closest election in years after 6 opposition parties joined forces to put up a single candidate against open. the landslide victory enables him to rewrite the calls to ship and effect. major laws under simon has more from budapest to or band with a crowd. elated with his victory chanting to him, he declared that it was a major victory as large as last time. and he said it was so big. you could see it from the moon, and you could certainly see it from brussels above reference to the pin union. now he's a leader the longest serving later in the you and he's one of its chief critics. he regards himself as the hub man of europe, and he has indeed managed to turn things around now to some very negative

results of his visit to moscow. 3 weeks before a russia invaded ukraine and his meeting with vladimir putin. 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 turn that around somehow. and then we move on then to this quite remarkable, it seemed at the start of it, the advantage that the opposition had, they've had a unification of 6 separate opposition. parties and pizza, mocking markie dye. 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. beth, go to serbia, now are the incumbent there. alexander luke has also declared victory in another election dominated by the war and ukraine. exit polls are predict, we'll get about 59 percent of the vote not to avoid a run off. futures campaigned on promises of peace and stability. rushes invasion is put serbia under pressure to choose between its traditional ties with moscow and aspirations to join the european union. brianna's down of it has more from bell, great mental. when we look at the 1st results, we can see that there will be no 2nd term of presidential election. so that would each will stay a president of serbia for more actually 5 more years. as for the parliamentary elections, it seems that his ruling parties through being progressive party will be the one

who will be able to form the government with its coalition partners. and also will have the most members international 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 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 watches to face more pressure from both russia, but also you, people are also voting in costa rica. there's no clear favorite in the presidential run off a choosing between the former president as in mary, a for, for garris and political outsider, long time, while bank official, rigo chavez, who is promising to shake up the political system. the main issues for vote is here,

the high unemployment rate. rising cost of living corruption and migration from haiti. now enshrined car. the cabinet ministers have resigned all except for the prime minister earlier on. hundreds of people, including opposition and peace, defied a curfew to protest against the unprecedented economic crisis government his bond or public gatherings unblocked social media protest is an angry about severe shortages of food, fuel, and medicine. men al fernandez, had the reaction earlier from colombo in the remedial time frame bore to be president and prime minister brothers roger. proctor will have to do is to appoint a cabinet to replace the resigned lot 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 streets, 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 offered the government at ford, but what we're finding is that we have the resignation announced of the cabinet batting in mind that that makes the we as we have been told by ministers and confirm that the nation that it give the president the we 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 considering parties of the government. so that they would clear the board allowing the president and the prime minister to bring in

a whole bunch of new faces. now to focus down the prime minister is thrown his country into political lim, bell after canceling a confidence vote. he looked, set to lose. and round come then self parliament, so new elections could be held in the next 90 days. the opposition is challenging that decision at the supreme court. some of the java reports now from islamabad. o, members of parliament derived 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 afford a conspiracy to contact them with. the deputy speaker immediately dismissed. the notary spoke against prime minister in mount han minutes after he appeared on state tv. presidents i'd go, advised, pays 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, m. p. went ahead with the vote of no confidence. a simple goat 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 quote. the constitution of pakistan does, has one legitimate democratic means to remove the prime minister bugs us. our constitution does not allow for a, for them to not hold vote today on the, on the new consciousness 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 this emily's well over this 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 lee. and you should 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 that little say in the matter the deputy attorney general has resign thing. his government's 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 back a son, 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 without a 0. islam above somalia is suffering, it's worse drought in 40 years. it's particularly bad for the millions of people who make a living, hiding animals. and if them is still living in camps after previous droughts in 20112017 malcolm lab reports on this now from gul care. we found her dear
