one by one equipped with only a knife and a pair of wire puppies, he faced his death every day. but does his work make him a hero or a target? witness? the d minor on a jazeera ah talk of more sanctions on russia, after reports of massacres. nick he is moscow, says its soldiers are not responsible. ah, i'm sam is a dan. this is al jazeera alive from dall hall. so coming up on kong the to says

she will not seek a 2nd. 5 year term is chief executive in next month's election shall anchors entire cabinet quits as the curfew ends in the nation faces its worst economic crisis in decades. and hunger is prime minister, vic tolben wins a 4th term in office with a big election victory. them predicted ukraine and its allies of accused russia, of committing war crimes after the discovery of mass graves and the bodies of civilians. in boucher, nicky iv, the russian ministry of defense denies it soldiers are responsible should warn viewers, may find some of the images in iran cons report to be disturbing. 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 asylum. witnesses to what happened

here. and what is alleged to have happened is russian soldiers attacking civilians are fleeing the city. he shall oh, brother, he went to get some one. when all of a sudden they started shooting, they hit him a bit above the hill, crushing the bone, and he fell down. the chute shouted, don't scream or i will shoot them the shaft, his left leg completely. then they shot him in the chest and another shot when slightly below the temple. it was a control shot to the head daughter. no, no. he the mayor of ki, visited boucher to show solidarity and express anger. is genocide jill side of ukraine. em population. more than shaw is it, people in russia and the russian government has to pay for their baneful price officials, a 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 of the shows and movies

news because i was here today, we finally have opportunity to reduce to the what hopping of hero all this view become evidence in our case, give is cory in the outskirts of beecher russian forces shelled houses the residency there were effectively held hostage were severely them. the russians broke into our house is in took him 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 that we take into 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, richer and more disturbing footage is emerging from ukraine. again, we should warn view, as he may find some of these images to be distressing. a mexican broadcaster captured these scenes in it, pin which is near the town of boucher mentioned in m rance report. it shows bodies in civilian clothes, lying in houses, alleyways, and fields or of my pride. johnson, now from living in some strong words from the president. rob

that's right of the sense of outrage from vladimir zelinski as more horror seemed to be uncovered almost by the hour or from this town of boucher. he has announced that the ukrainians have announced that there will be a formal, proven to what they are calling war crimes and even genocide. they are inviting investigators from the international criminal court to come and hold an investigation. zalinski even calling on world leaders as inviting them and the international community to come and see for themselves what he says. russia has done saying that the world has a witness to many or full war crimes. but hoping that this will be the last evil on earth or of what the he alleges that the russians have done here. there are more bodies being discovered in the town of butcher and more eye witness accounts over how the russians acted while they were in the town, a people talking about as they invaded summarily shooting at any body. it seems not

distinguishing between our fighters or civilians or other people talking about a people trying to surrender, putting their hands up and being shot other accounts of torture, of ours and russians, or were apparently trying to discover where ukrainian forces were. and yet other accounts saying that, well, they were in occupation, some of the younger soldiers of the russian army were quite decent. they would share their rations and talked about, wanted to go back to russia. so a different accounts, but i think it is the accounts of the atrocities that were allegedly carried out. his forces withdrew, leaving bodies in the streets, which really has outraged so much of ukraine. and we are seeing as well again, sions, of atrocities and evidence of atrocities emerging elsewhere. take us through that. that's right. i mean, as the russian forces have pulled back, ukrainian forces retaken a territory and they are starting to discover bodies,

a makeshift graves and so on. some of the video that has emerged it's come from this town of heard pit nessie very close to butcher. it was in the north west of ki, if that saw most of the fighting. that was as far as the russian forces had advanced. and that's a scene, most of the most ferocious fighting over the past few weeks or so. and in the air pin, we have a seen video which is now being carried by the menus, agencies which shows a camera person being escorted around town from house to house. going through back alleys are seeing dead bodies more bodies in the backs of god. and so it does seem . 3 as though there will be other allegations of atrocities carried out by russian forces. the authorities and care believed that around $400.00 plus civilian bodies, a test to what they claim are atrocities that they were so summarily killed by

russians. as they departed witcher, they will be investigating, and of course we have seen on the active fronts. the hostile fronts are more more activity in the northeastern city of car keys. there has been more shelling with reports of 7 civilians been killed there. 34 injured, including children and war shelling down in mc alive down on the southern front as this war continues. or, i, thanks so much robert, right? now, russia's defense ministry says ukraine's accusations. well that all unfounded says, all its military units left food short. 4 days before the footage was released. hash matt about our has more now 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 food is coming out from a provocation, and they also said in

a statement that when they took over the butcher, people were given access to leave. the area include including tours north towards barrows. they also say that their forces left butcher 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 the military operations of russians have been saying that the, facing an unprecedented misinformation disinformation war and they have been accusing the west. the americans for deflecting the attention on the core issues of russia has been dealing with. they say that we've been telling them that we have a huge concern about the military situation and in ukraine. but those bodies were incomplete denial about realities on the ground. hong kong was laid at carrie lamb

as an ounce. she will not seek a 2nd term as chief executive her 5 year, 10 years or a wave of anti government protest which culminated in the adoption of aging national security law. opponent say that as your station is stifled march of hong kong or ptolemy and freedom going. but when i, when young there is only one 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. our correspondent adrian brown has more from hong kong. 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've been carefully vetted to ensure they are loyal to china. the people of hong kong in many ways feel disempowered when it comes to the

election of the chief executive, carry lamb is really synonymous with the, the darkest period. in recent hong kong history, the protests in 2019 that began after she tried to push through a bill, there would make it easier for suspects to be extradited to the mainland. now, she refused to withdraw that bill. 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, the divisions had deepened and then of course, closed protest lead 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 in recent months. i think what have really hurt her is her handling or in the eyes of critics. the mishandling of the coven 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 carry alarm is accused of basically mixed messaging and taps didn't be having no coherent policies, chief secretary and 2nd in charge. john lee is widely tipped to replace kerry lam, keith richberg from the university of hong kong journalism and media studies center has more. and what we know about him. we know that he spent most of his life as a policeman. he's a cow. he came up through the ranks of the police for many, for decades, and then he went over to become head of security in 2017 and then moved over to become the number 2 officials, which they called chief secretary here. but its entire life and career has been in kind of security and law enforcement. so, i mean, if china wants to emphasize kind of the security aspect, the national security aspect, you know, making sure that i know hong kong or is don't, you know,

rise up again and then kind of demonstration, they'll put a, a cop in charge. so that's what we know about him. the other leading candidate we thought might be the financial secretary all chance, but we haven't heard lately whether or not he plans on, on entering the ring. i'll still, i had an al jazeera thought, a good big of a big upset in costa rica. the challenger with a check, had passed, is elected president floss in ecuador, government officials look to change regulations officer at least 20 people are killed in a prison riot. ah, let's go with your world's weather update. we're going to begin in australia that east coast stains have certainly died down in terms of the active weather that we had. now we're really looking at some shower zipping across the bite,

but nothing compared to what we saw a little while ago. something major though potentially that we are watching is this to cook up into a tropical cyclone. it's a disturbance wobbling between van iwatsu and new caledonia. so we'll continue to keep tabs on that. what whether we can back in to both islands of new zealand, more western areas, but we do have some showers. plug in gives been with a high 25 degrees, while some cold weather has blanketed thailand. this is record breaking stuff for a parts of the country. so 15.5 degrees, that's good enough for a new record. let's talk about the active weather now. the rain fall that we're dealing with for this region ne monsoon cutting cross northern areas of the philippines right through vietnam, bringing us bursts of rain. and we've also got a batch of rain for the malay peninsula that could cause some flooding. southern china, hong kong, your temperature up to 26 degrees cloud cover over shanghai with the high of 17. and all of that. what weather has shopped away from japan? so an improvement in conditions for tokyo, with

a high of 18 degrees that it c a ah . from the al jazeera london broker center, t people, unprompted uninterrupted. remember beginning of pandemic, people especially had some be like why could be wiped out part one of the gen, listen as we malik. and right to and political analysts. man, john and me, abolla, people will say things like, we're not going to give back because the africans will not know what to do with them. there is no continent where people have more experience with getting medicine into people's hands. judy, be unscripted on al jazeera, hulu. blue, oh oh,

i'll come back. it's time to recap. i'll headlines now. the crane and its allies of accused rushers committing war crimes after the discovery of mass graves and the bodies of civilians in boucher, near king of russia's defense ministry says ukraine's accusations are unfounded. it claims all of its military units left to boot church 4 days before the footage was released. uncommonly to carry lamb as announced, she will not seek a 2nd term. lamb's 5 year term has been marked by anti government protests and the security crackdown that followed. a success, so be kicked in may pakistan supreme court. his hearing arguments on whether the president's decision to dissolve parliament is constitutional. the opposition appealed against the move on sunday. that triggered a political crisis that moved the rail. the no confidence vote against the prime minister. in ron carnis called for

a new election in 3 months. let's go live down to star bad and speak with osama bin j there. so any indication of where the court is heading on this one, where right now the proceedings are under way. we're hearing from the judges who are presiding over this case, that they want a clear case to be presented before them from both sides were as we have reached the supreme court, the government saying that it's actions were legal and the supreme court should allow them to hold free and fair elections, whereas the opposition who moved the court just 24 hours ago. it is saying that what happened at the national assembly was, is a version of the constitution. they are saying that the speaker should be tried for treason because he did not follow the rules of parliament there. instead of a going ahead with no confidence vote. he mentioned that there is a foreign conspiracy to ask a man hon and threw up the vote of no confidence which according to the opposition

is unconstitutional. what the court is not willing to do is not just listen to political parties, but also a listen to legal aids. a listen to the supreme court bar association for instance . and others are trying to certain really what, whether the decision that was taken by the speaker was illegal. and then all the subsequent decisions, including the dissolution of assemblies by the president, including a, the prime minister, emron hon. dissolving his cabinet and everything else that followed his legal as of now, the proposition insist that he did go ahead with the vote of no confidence and it has a 195 members on its side where it needs a 172 to declare the prime minister, osama neither want the court decides, does it look like the country's going to be heading different crisis but back is not, is it a very interesting crossroads? emron hahn is no longer the prime minister. he's been de, notified by the,

the cabinet division in an official communique, and the president has asked him to carry on for at least 3 days until an interim prime minister is announced. and it is very interesting that today in order to get a name for the infant prime minister, both the prime minister and the leader of the opposition need to sit together. and it looks like without the assembly, there wouldn't be able to do that. so it is a very interesting situation, a black hole constitutionally and this is what the papers have been saying that as well. the dawn newspaper going with the, a travesty of democracy on its front page saying that everything else is gone. but the prime minister survived. we've heard from the tribunal today saying that it has been a day of big drama and pakistan alluding to all of the what happened and a very fast pace, a day that we saw on a just yesterday and all eyes on the supreme court now. and that is where the

opposition says that it's case rests. now that it is going to be the supreme court, which decides that whether the actions but illegal, whether they were unconstitutional and whether it can now go back to the assembly, vote out him on con. or the port is going to decide that pakistan should move towards a new election. in either case, this is a constitutional price is not the likes of which pakistan has seen, at least in the last few decades. all right, thanks so much, sarah. been your vote. all a flank his cabinet ministers have resigned except the prime minister. earlier on sunday, hundreds of people including opposition, empties defied the curfew to protest against an unprecedented economic crisis. the government declared the state of emergency off a violent demonstrations. it's banned all public gatherings and block social media . now fernandez has more from colombo and with the end of the $36.00 r curfew, crowds have taken to the streets. once again. this is the independence monument in

the heart of the capital colombo that people were hoping to come to yesterday. but the government of fearing that it would be a massive show against the government, decided to close off all access roads. and most of the young people that are here at this protest, see they will not have their voice a silenced people, the theatre earlier, but now i think it's time that we make a stand and debbie stand up for our dates, because this is ashley lunk. i and our future, and it's demonstrations like this that have been building in recent weeks. that is really concerned the government. and what's happened now we see as of sunday night, the entire cabinet resigning on mars, as they say, to make we are for either a consensus cabinet or for the president and prime minister to look at re walk in the constitution of that cabinet. but for most of the people here, if you look at the banners, it talks about let in the raj of her purse. it talks about, ah,

give back the money you have stolen. so people are not convinced that there's going to be immediate teens. and that's basically the main message here. as you see, it's not a voice that's going to be silenced. now a political outside there has been elected president in costa rica, economist and former world bank officials of the rigo chavez, surprised many by making it to the run off there is a bo explains, ah, i promised to fight against the political establishment lean house has propelled row that he will chat is into call steadily. gustavo job. he celebrated his victory as president of the sunday. shortly after the 1st results were announced. in leon doyle, mom dug. look your ruthie laurie. i understand the mandate i have received today as an obligation to exercise my leadership with honor efficiency, transparency,

and austerity. but also with solidarity towards the most vulnerable people in our country. i assume the sacred commitment to create a democratic government with dialogue, respectful of the constitution. the law and the costa rican values of them will get out. chavez is seen by many as an outsider, a conservative economists who defeated former president jose mighty a few years from the national liberation front. the run up to this election was filled with accusations and controversies. former president viet is faced allegations of corruption while he was in office in the 1990s, chavez was accused of sexual harassment while working at the world bank and had to resign to prevent an investigation. he denies any wrongdoing, but this result shows rising poverty and unemployment have made costa. ricans prioritize the economy or ball. ok. so jacqueline bunger, the daughter, the message chavez has, is that everyone has to go,

that everything that happened in the past 40 years is useless. and ongoing to solve this corruption was a priority in the election. the large sector of the countries tied of the development model. that is generated inequality chavez promises to shake up the political class and has vowed to youth referendums to bypass congress to bring change. he supporters say it's what the country needs here by this has been on this new option appears as hope for us. costa ricans for women, especially working women, women who are fighting go 30 guys, consider the most stable country in central america. it's been praised for its environmental policies and political consensus. many fear chavez, his presidency, will polarize the country even further. putting decades of stability at risk. that is, i will, i'll just, cedar. now hunger is prime minister, victor or van has declared victory in an election,

overshadowed by the war and neighboring ukraine under simmons reports from budapest tomb to victor oberon, who likes to think of himself as the strong man of yield. his supporters are elated . whatever the overall thinking hunger, his voters have given their leader, an overwhelming vote of confidence. jayceon is in case we look pretty good. he, 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 at the e. u all been 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 own 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. 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 name, 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 bombs, cooperation with russia and china for the european union. i think this will be a very happy dilemma. because if that will be a landslide victory and apparently it will be tonight or is a question maybe post better existing. so semi, also retiree and members, faith in the european union, it's 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 is free and fair. in the 2018 poll, they declare that wasn't fair amount may, will be the verdict this time opposition parties will have been telling them that problems having to do limited access to the media and government induced buyers, bob, a vast majority of news outlets. and so what caused this a power turnaround in all bands position that could be a number of factors inaccurate. opinion poll, hold on, 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, now a neighboring serbia. the incumbent president is also celebrating reelection. it

was a landslide when fathers, on the roach with 9060 percent of the vote. he says there are no plans to move away from maintaining close ties with russia won aspiring to join the european union. at least 20 people have been killed in a prison riot in southern ecuador for hours. hundreds of police officers struggled to contain the violence catalogue has arianne has more. oh, on the roof of this maximum security prison wing inmates in quinton ecuador come out for help inside. they say is too dangerous. some were evacuated, but most were tramped by prison riots. i found that has been an amount of ain't they all been waiting here for more than 20 hours? i've been standing here listening to the inmates cry out for help. more than $800.00 officers responded, but they struggled to stop the violence. the interior minister says tougher laws
