on is also trying to get out train rise of a free, but it's on a 1st come, 1st serve basis here at the bus station. there's only a few rides available and that's only to the surrounding villages. so people like for me and rose, now need to find another way to get out of the city. but for now they, like many others, would have to reach in hope. hoping to morrow is a better day. ah . hong kong lead a carry, lam announces she won't seek another term after a tenure that saw some of the worst social unrest in memory. ah, hello, i'm sammy's a dan. this is al jazeera alive from dell hall. so coming out,

talk of more sanctions on russia to reports of massacres. the acc give moscow says its troops are not responsible for land, cuz entire cabinet quit says the curfew ends and the nation faces. it's was economic crisis in decades. and hungry is prime minister victor all by winds, a full term in office with a bigger election victory than predicted. ah, hong kong lead a carry lamb has announced she will not seek a 2nd term as chief executive. her 5 year tenure sore, a wave of anti government protests which culminated in the adoption of beijing's national security law. opponent say the legislation has stifled much of hung console ptolemy and freedoms were loyal. now i, when there is only consideration and that is family,

i have told everyone before family is my top priority. they think that it's time for me to go home. this is my only consideration later. and brown joins us now live from hong kong. so how are people reacting to this news? well, sammy, i think the reaction amongst many people here in hong kong is one of apathy. because after all, the people of hong kong have no say in who their next leader will be. they're not allowed to be part of that election process. that job is done by an all powerful election committee, comprising 1500 members who been carefully vetted to ensure they are loyal to china . and that means, se analysts that china gets the result that it once at the election for the chief executive. so i think, you know, indifference the people of hong kong in many ways feel disempowered when it comes to the election of the chief executive. carol, am, as you pointed out in your introduction, is really synonymous with the,

the darkest period. in recent hong kong history, the protests in 2019 that began up to she try to push through a bill. there would make it easier for suspects to be extradited to the mainland. now, she refused to withdraw that built the unrest went on and on for weeks and months. finally she, she withdrew that bill. but of course, a lot of people argue that the damage by then had been done. it was too late, that divisions had deepened and then of course, closed protest led to china imposing a draconian national security law. that has led to more than a $150.00 people being arrested, including basically most of the pro democracy opposition as well as leading media figures and lawyers. and people argue that since that law there has been a gradual curtailment on basic freedom. so carry lamb is associated with all of that, but in recent months, i think what is really her is her handling or in the eyes of the critics. the

mishandling of the co, the situation here in hong kong, we've had almost 8000 deaths. we have the highest death rate, probably one of the highest death rates in the world from this virus and carried i'm is accused of basically mixed messaging and taps to be having coherent policy. so i think that's what really her through the end because she was getting a lot of criticism, not just from people here in hong kong, but also pro establishment legislators who were close to china. and i think she basically managed to upset not just china, but also the people of hong kong as well. because remember, if you are chief executive, hong kong, sammy, you have to serve 2 masters, beijing and the people of hong kong. and caroline has been walking that tight road now for 5 years more i what do we know about the person who is likely or seen as likely to replace her the secretary of administration?

well, john lee is interesting because he used to be the security secretaries. i think in the eyes of beijing, he takes all the right boxes because he was in charge of security. and security, as we know, is very important to china's leaders when it comes to hong kong. so i think perhaps if john lee is selected, that means that china is going to pay even more attention to security in the future . but of course, what hong kong needs right now is a leader that can perhaps project a new image, a new focus for hong kong. because if you want to try to rebuild the brand, the image of hong kong, you do need a new leader at the top. you can't do it with a leader associated with all the bad stuff in the past. the question is, where the john lee would be the best person to do that. all right, thanks so much. adrian brown. now ukraine, at its allies of accused russia,

of committing war crimes after the discovery of mass graves in the bodies of civilians. in butch, in a key. if the russian ministry of defense denies it salvazar responsible, we should warn viewers. you may find some of the images in mike hannah's report to be disturbing. the images emerging from the town of boucher have sent 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 president lensky later delivered this message in a televised address of hundreds of people, tortured to death, shot,

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 be 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 the must be held accountable. listen so i soft consoling that the issue of accountability is echoed in a statement by the un secretary general. i'm deeply shocked by the images of civilians killed in boucher ukraine. he says it's essential. ready 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. so 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, hanna jazeera washington and we have some more disturbing footage which is emerging from ukraine should again, warner us, that they may find the following video to the distressing. a mexican broadcast the size for it captured these sharps in his pain, which is near the account of, mentioned in ron collins for full picture show bodies in civilian clothes, lying in houses, alleyways, and field from abroad, joins us now from levin. so a call from the ukrainian president would be to come and see the aftermath for themselves. any sign of that happening, rob, that has been our age. i think the probably the description for the landscape reaction to this he has now do you crave will have their own probe into what he's calling war crimes,

genocide. he is inviting investigators from the international criminal court. and since we heard that it will lead us to come and see for themselves what he says. the russians have done here the saying that the world seen enough of war crimes happened here. he says in ukraine should be the last evil on. he said that we are getting more reports of the bodies being discovered in the town of boucher, which 1st saw the numbers of people more than 20 people on the main road in boucher, apparently killed by the carting soldiers according to towns people. the party rush and we are discovering apparently more bodies in back alleys, more bodies in gardens and also more i witnesses accounts are coming out from people as it becomes more accessible and journalist are talking to more people that we're seeing. quotes of people who are trying to surrender people how have the hands up,

who with times leased up merrily shot other people giving accounts of being tortured by russia, drinks looking for any defense and to be crazy and soldiers. other accounts, talking about as they joined the occupation by russia told you some of the younger soldiers actually behaving well, being polite, sharing their rations, but i think it is the reports of the the troops, the russian soldiers, apparently murdering civilians as they departed, which is shocked that most people hear from this town and rob this talk of evidence of trustees, emerging elsewhere, take us through that. that's right. i mean the great, you know, how are you in the satellite? towns rallies a key of especially in the north, east and north west. the total of around $400.00 plus volunteers that have been discovered. these are civilians that have been killed. apparently they say by the russian forces now in the town of pin. this is

a town very close to boucher which is seen a lot of the fighting that was very much on the front line for several weeks that so with a lot of ferocious fighting between different forces the the video has emerged from, from one of the news agencies, again of more bodies in the facts of gardens, more got bodies in alleyways, again, signs that possibly they have their hands tied that they was shot through the head . so it does seem as though they were kind execution. the mass of key has been to that area has called for that to be a band on russian gas exports. we've also had reports of more fighting and showing from the other fronts from the north east in the city of cape that's been more shelling overnight with reports of 7 civilians being killed. that $34.00 injured, including children, and again still down on the southern front,

around the town of being alive. the fighting has continued there with more russian shelling. and of course, the more important strategically a city of a desa has been dealing with those oil. dep fires from this side of the tax on sunday. thanks so much, robert brian. germany's defense minister says the you must now consider the banding . the importation of all russian gas domini came, has more from berlin. what you have here is a growing recognition from the political elite here, certainly the governing parties that what's in place right now is not enough in so far as sanctions is concerned. so different voices, again from the same party. as mrs. lambert, the defense minister, over the course, the last 24 hours had been saying that further measures are needed. so the, the general secretary, as it were, of the party yesterday evening was saying that the tap to russian gas was being

tightened further. and we know that the chancellor, mister shots, over the course of the last few days in response to the scenes from boucher said that further sanctions would be necessary. we know that his colleague, the foreign minister, analynn bell, bought from the green party, had said, substantially the same thing. so it's pretty clear that the scenes in butcher have been greeted with revulsion, not just in berlin, but also in paris. it seems. and there is a growing willingness to talk about it's much further sanctions. the key for germany at least is if they were, as it were to push this idea of absolute ban on all russian energy, there would be a very serious shortfall in the amount of gas available to all sorts of different uses. be that domestic people in there are salt but also industry and we don't know as yet how the german government would seek to address this drastic shortfall. if

such a band were introduced. cilla had in the news, why africa's largest oil producers fast running out of power with no solution inside our musicians where body armor is set up like see that they seem to that want it in hosted us even to those graham thanks. sent the stage at the grammy awards presence. lensky urges musicians to support his nation. ah, richard, he has begun the faithful world copies on its way to catherine book. your travel package to day. 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 walk 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 stand bowl, and it's going to be 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 wet weather 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 hart to met. 44. you're gonna lock in there for the next few days. and showers in storms across the gulf of getting lined 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 official and line of the judge. the stage is set and it's time for a different approach. one that is going to challenge the way you think was wor, inevitable. i just want to started to please doing it. they're not doing the right thing. let's leave simplicity to the headlines. join me as i take on the lies, dismantled misconceptions and debate. the contradictions do we have a real democracy here in the united states, the smuggler political party, that's a wrote a cool insurgency, mark lamond hill, and it's time to get up front right here on out 0. lou. the me.

welcome back. you're watching out. just hear a time to recap our headlines. ukraine. amazon lives of accused rush of committed war crimes. after the discovery of mass graves and the bodies of civilians in boucher and germany's defense minister says that you must consider the banding, the importation of all russian gas. christine lumber. comments followed the report of atrocities committed by russian forces. hong kong leader carry lamb as announced, she will not seek a 2nd. lamb 5 year term has been marked by anti government protest security crackdown that followed. a successor will be picked in may. let's take a closer look at land tenure. then it began in 2017, when she took over in hong kong 1st female leader. and as we mentioned that time, enough is sort of security cracked down on both protested and the media. and that was social unrest in half a century triggered by controversial extradition bill lamb. success will be picked

in may by a committee of mostly pro beijing loyalists. joseph chang is a political analyst and former professor of political science at city university. hong kong, he says, lambs administration is likely fallen out of favor with beijing. you gave the new show, excuse of, according party to the family. but the general reading has been, administration has not done well in the combat of the co would epidemic. and the economy in hong kong is not in good shape. he also doesn't get along well with the co b. james can, hong kong in china to day, neither demands very strong accountability from local officials in combat of cobit and did this difficult. therefore, for b, jane to retain given the rather difficult situation rather difficult academic

situation in the territory. i think hong kong people have no high expectations with regard to of universal democracy to a strengthening of human rights world law and so on. it is generally be that the heart mind, the authoritarian 9 will continue and this will very much be confirmed by the sound you have party call was to be held this autumn when she can ping will probably receive a further comb. now, china has sent its military and thousands of medical workers to shanghai as it battles, a new wave of covey. 19 infections. all 25000000 residents are expected to be tested in one of the biggest public health responses. china's largest city is under a 2 stage locked down since last week. confining people to their homes on sunday

reforms is wandering 25 locally transmitted infections over a 1500. a symptomatic carriers, hunger is prime minister victor urban has declared victory in election, overshadowed by the war and neighboring ukraine. or van is a close ally of russian president vladimir putin and early results give his party a comfortable majority in parliament. henry simmons reports from budapest tomb for victor oberon, who likes to think of himself as the strong man of his supporters are elated. whatever the overall thinking hunger, his voters have given their leader an overwhelming vote of confidence. i guess your lives in case we looks 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 more our doc 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 democrat 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. the old man told voters they were safe with him. he wouldn't get involved in the war. nato and the e. u may be giving military support, but they will be known from hungary. and so the national assembly building in budapest remains dominated by all of them. it stands as a symbol of defiance to the liberal policies of the e u. and of all bands cooperation with russia and china for the european union. i

think this will be a very happy dilemma because if that would be a landslide victory, and apparently it would be a lengthy lighting sort of question, maybe posed better the existence of semi also retiree and members faith in the european union. it's really just a temporary challenge or death will be the new business as usual. on monday, a european team of observers will announce whether they view the election is free and fair. in the 2018 poll they declared, it wasn't fair, and that may will be the verdict this time. opposition parties will have been telling them that problems have included limited access to the media and government induced buyers probably the majority of news outlets. and so what caused this a power turnaround in all vans position? it could be a number of factors inaccurate opinion polls all by claiming that the opposition wanted hungary to join the war ukraine and perhaps more than any of the others. the

fact that so many people wanted a trusted strong leader at a time of crisis. andrew simmons, al jazeera budapest, the neighboring serbia, the incumbent president, is also celebrating his re election. it was our land slide when for alexander roche, with nearly 60 percent of the vote, speaking to support as he said, the war and ukraine had affected his campaign. but he says there are no plans to move away from them. painting close ties with russia while aspiring to also join the european union. all a full anchors cabinet ministers have resigned except the prime minister. however, on sunday, hundreds of people including opposition, empties divided curfews a protest about the country's economic crisis. government declared the state of emergency of violent demonstrations. it's banned all public gatherings and walked social media. augustine supreme court will decide if the prime minister's decision
