to pay for their baneful bribes, officials are gathering evidence and will submit their findings that may well form the basis of a war crimes investigation. you'll also be able to watch the shows and movies news because i was here today. we finally have opportunity to reduce that a what hopping of hearing all this view become evidence in our case give is corey in the outskirts of boot shop. russian forces shelled houses the residency. there were effectively held hostage resumed 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 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, 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. m. ron con our desert, butram rushes at defense ministry says ukraine's accusations are unfounded. and all its miniature units left a boucher 4 days before the footage was released. a sham albert has more from moscow. there's been a statement from the russian ministry of defense dismissing the report about

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 words north towards bella ruse. they also say that their forces left boucher 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 disinformation 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 a huge concern about the military situation and in ukraine. but those parties were

incomplete denial about realities on the ground for the killings in butcher, promote global outrage. the secretary general of the united nations is called for an independent investigation into the depths. my counter reports from washington d. c. the images emerging from the town of boucher have central ripples of shock and revulsion around the globe. indeed, this is genocide appearing on us network, ukraine's president cited them as yet more proof 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 the russian federation. this is the reason we are being destroyed and exterminated, and this is happening in the europe of the 21st century. so this is the torture of the whole nation and presidents lensky later delivered this message in a televised address of hundreds of people tortured to death. shot with peaceful

people, bodies on streets, minds around houses, and even dead bodies everywhere looting, concentrated evil, came to our country, murderers, rapists, robbers, looters that call themselves an army. and they all deserve the death penalty after what they've done. russia's aggression, us secretary of state, described the images as a punch to the gut since the aggression we've come out and said that, we believe that russian forces have committed war crimes. and we've been working to, to document that to provide the information that we have to the relevant institutions and organizations that will put all of this together. and there needs to be accountability for the reaction of the u. s. western allies was summed up by the german chancellor, the modern, fancy, b list miss antique sub question. the murder of civilians is a war crime. we must relentlessly investigate these crimes committed by the russian armed forces. i demand that international organizations,

such as the international committee of the red cross, be given access to these areas, to document the atrocities and the perpetrators. and those in charge of them must be held accountable by listen. so soft consoling that the issue of accountability is echoed in the statement by the un secretary general. i am 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 states sanctions are continually being reviewed and if necessary, tightened. but the by that 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, hannah jazeera washington, russian mythos of targeted the southern port of a death which houses ukraine's main naval base. russia says it destroyed an oil refinery and fuel storage facilities used by ukraine's military. but there is a focus for moscow as its forces tried to cut ukrainian troops off from the backseat. stephanie decker has more from the vive, in western ukraine. they have been preparing for weeks. this is the 1st significant attack on nadisa at the fuel depot. it is in line with russia strategy. they've been doing this in several cities across the country. they're been rocket fired at a dozen. 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 resupply troops. and nikolai of nikolai, of the 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 and moving on to odessa, usually 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 sea. but it's been proving difficult in the beginning of this conflict. 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. hungary is that prime minister, victor? all that has declared victory in an election, overshadowed by the war in neighboring ukraine. reuben is a close ally, russian president vladimir putin. an early results give his party a comfortable majority in parliament under simmons reports from budapest

to victor oberon, who likes to think of himself as the strong man of yield. his supporters are elated . whatever the overall thinking hunger is, voters have given their leader an overwhelming vote of confidence. i guess your lives in case we look pretty good. we'd never looked as good as to night. we won a huge victory from it can even be seen from the moon, but in brussels for sure. that last quit was aimed the e u. all. bam is its biggest critic from within me model for the leader of the opposition. peter, mark his i, who had brought together 6 parties in the united alliance. it was a humiliating loss in his home town and the overall defeat for his alliance. there is no democrats in hungary, there is no free and for action. regardless of the result. only weeks ago,

opinion polls showed mark his eyes opposition gaining support. the war in ukraine and all vans close relationship with russia's president vladimir putin appeared to be negative factors that all van told voters they were safe with him. he wouldn't get involved the war nato. li, you may be giving military support, but they will be non from hungary. and so the ornate national assembly building in budapest remains dominated by all them. it stands as a symbol of defiance to the liberal policies of the e. u. and of all bones cooperation with russia and china for the european union. i think this will be a very heavy dilemma because if that will be a landslide victory for as least will be a lance, my victory is a question. ah, maybe post. rather, the existence of semi altar italian member states in the european union is really just a temporary challenge, or that will be the new business as usual. on monday,

a european team of observers will announce whether they view the election as free and fair in the 2018 pole they declared. it wasn't fair. a map may well be the verdict this time for opposition parties will have been telling them their problems have included limits of access to the media and government induced by us by the vast majority of news outlets. and so what caused this apparent turnaround in all bands position? it could be a number of factors inaccurate opinion polls all by and claiming that the opposition wanted hungary to join the wall ukraine and perhaps more than any of the others. the fact that so many people wanted or trusted strong leader at a time of crisis. andrew simmons al jazeera, budapest was still ahead on al jazeera political limbo in pakistan. prime minister iran con,

and that would be a huge pressure for me. you, our economy is actually basically completely dependent on only you who teaches hold on power, seem secure for now, but is international position is more precarious. russia and the west are more divided than at any time in recent history. and for serbia, it may grow increasingly difficult to resist taking a side than smaller him al jazeera, to lancaster, a cabinet ministers have resigned. on last, following an outbreak of protests against the government's handling of an unprecedented economic crisis, the prime minister still remains in the job as does his brother, the president. the government is running very low on foreign cash reserves and is struggling to import a basic goods. and use chappelle ripples o across the island, a sudden ground swell of opposition to the roger pox of family and what's widely seen as a man made crisis. protestors defied a government curfew on sunday prompting. she longed his entire cabinet to resign.
