that's also the worst. social unrest in memory hungry is prime minister victor or bonnet, wins a 4th term and office with a bigger election victory then predicted 1st thought a, a big upset in costa rica, a political outsider, has been elected president. and his vote. congress alcaraz has confirmed his status as the fastest arising talented men's tennis. the 18 year old spaniard has become the youngest of a winner of the one who's ukraine's president is in butcher. that's where mass graves have been discovered in the bodies of dead civilians. for laudermill polanski said there was evidence of russian war crimes and genocide attempts of the city. you leaders have come out and force calling for an investigation. and for international justice,

the russian defense ministry denies that its soldiers are responsible. let's hair a little now of what prison zalinski had to say to. although here you can see of the, the russian troops are they regard people worse than the animal over, you know what was happening over and over. you have a fall from source to people whom thought shut and murdered the money or raped food. and in chuck, our delegation met me so and had to go say, james, between our ministers on the floor of an f. s and but there was no success. i will tell you that the longer the process of negotiation, blah, blah,

it would be for you, russia as road our troops liberates our target is which every day. and you can see you what is over there. and it's very difficult to stick to around the us see what they have done. you can see that we have found people who but all children who were used to stored in the barbells in the basement everywhere i was down because i think was solution that ma'am, but she also gave me a little mrs. medical have heard to me and i addressed not just to her but to all the european leaders who made the

important decisions and where that the influence of a rush and figuration. and when they have made decisions regarding your claim and all this neal stores and in your simulations about the day when you open doors and re, i know that many people a supported a ukraine suspicion to join ah nater. and we know you quit you well, i dish i leaders leaders of a did it in the countries on of each earning him weekly, on whom the decision depended over the ukraine. still praise could join nato. and what is happening now is at the wellness. okay. pizza, game of with the ration of innovation,

which ag gave them an opportunity to strengthen them to make stronger will dash them nobody think it was. and i believe that a thought through this, i have to come over here and see of the results, although they are playing a, with the leadership of the russian federation. i believe that are in a better way to it over your korean levels. certainly be able to use of we cannot live in vol believe in the 21st century. aviana adults. it verse because of the fear of simple i live in, in the machine to a piece i. that's why bless we but emerald, but a more knowledgeable dish with diplomatic shall prevail, a will prevail will when are on a day, a diplomatic for around believe and are on the battlefield. m. o m let's in an

hour which military successes ah demonstrated every day, but we don't want to lose a millions of people. i know that's why with a should have a dialogue. emotionally, o v is mr. johnson and i see mortgage is v. oh. should i do? yan arazola, i dont see and i dont even consider the auction to run a europe will not provide us. ah, this is something which would be necessary to get this victory in the 5th of wanted and then we'll do something much. oh, okay. via shell, exerted with russia in order to get a, just a trial over everybody guilty in on those crisis. i. so that is ukraine's president vladimir lansky there in the town of butcher 2 keys,

where there have been reports, allegations of war crimes with the bodies of civilians found apparently executed. again, russia says that is not the case. russia says this has been staged up a president lansky, they're saying that a boot to there has been evidence of rape, torture, and murder. he addressed all european lead is talking about ukraine's continued aspiration to join nato. they said russia has been given in this time the opportunity to get stronger. president lance, he said, there will be peace. that is 21st century. that cannot be war. and went on to say that while we are winning militarily, we don't want to lose millions of people. i believe we can cross. now we're going, we're going to hang out from iran, con correspondent who visited the scene of those killings in boucher and a warning. somebody was, may find some of the images in his report, it was march the 10th when they 1st started burying bodies head in the grounds of

this church. now the priest had tells us that they had to negotiate with the russians to be able to allow this to happen. now, some of these people died of the injuries because of the war. others died of natural causes. as the weeks went on, though they had to keep burying bodies, hit one on top of the other, they put them in black flags to give them some sort of dignity in death. in total, at least $68.00 people were buried. now throughout the day we've seen people come to this church to try and find out if their loved ones actually buried the molds here, we're completely full. so this was the only option that they had. but this isn't the only burial side in this town across the town, people were burying the dead wherever they could in the front yards in common areas . they've actually wrapped the bodies in black bags to give them some sort of dignity and death. and more disturbing footages emerging from ukraine and other warning,

some of the following images are all so distressing. a mexican broadcast has captured these scenes in pain, which is near the town of butcher in iran report shows a bodies in civilian clothes, lying and houses and other ways. and in fields. we have das jabari standing by for us in moscow with more rushes reaction. but 1st, let's cross to rob mcbride, whose line for us in ukrainian city of levine in the west, rob, so present the landscape has been to butcher to see all of this 1st hand. what else did he have to say? that's right. i think he's really expressing the outrage felt by all ukrainians. that's what we're seeing start to emerge from there. and of course, there are more horrors big and most that by the, from boot you know, so a joining cities is the russian troops withdraw ukrainian troops take back territory. he has said after visiting butcher came as a, something of

a surprise visit. but then obviously his movements around ukraine are a matter of security as so they wouldn't have been advanced knowledge, but he brought journalists with him. he said it is important for journalists to see what he was seeing for himself. first hand. he said it was hard to negotiate with russians when he saw what russians were capable of. he said in the town of boucher but repeating that this war must be finished. it must be finished soon and they can't be allowed to continue in the 21st century. he's also called for further sanction. as we've seen, what the ukranian claim has been. i systematic killing of civilians in the town of boucher that there should be more sanctions on russia. also calling on european nations to cut off gas supplies to stop importing rush and gas, saying that what they're seeing should be this kind of war crime as he called it even go as far as colgate genocide should be the last manifestation of such evil on earth. so it's

a very strong stuff from the presidents. we know from the prosecutor general's office of the ukraine, that an investigation of what they seen in future has started. and we are seeing a more bodies being discovered in houses in the back gardens of houses, in alleyways, as the ukrainians knew through boucher and that follow. basically, the russian withdrawal north up towards the border with della russia and russia itself. i guess also robert, even just the president's presence there must carry some weight given i guess for a large part of his time because he's spending that bunk is and the huge security must be surrounding him right now just for him to go out and be there to be in butcher to see this that's right. i mean, yes he, he is a, he's proved himself to be a very car is magic leader. i think before this conflict started, there was some question about his credentials, how he would, how he would fair,

especially again, such a strong man is led to may putin. well, we have seen him play his hand extremely well, especially when it comes to the international community. he has spoken to parliamentarians in just about every continent he, they, ukrainians really do seem to have been winning the battle for hearts and minds internationally. and it's the russians who have been less scrambling. it's the russians who are the pariah. a nation. it seems domestically inside russia, hooton's message about his right just call is may well be, i'm still finding a majority support, but internationally. i think it's the ukrainians and president lensky who do seem to be winning the that the propaganda war. if you like, the war for public opinion. indeed. thank you for that update their role. mcbride lie for us in the very, very cross of and i'll get the view from moscow to jabari is there for our daughter . so all is the cremeans saying about these images,

which are coming out now from ukraine. while the message here from officials is one of denial and counter accusations we've heard from the kremlin spokesperson, dmitri prescott, who says that the russians categorically deny and reject any involvements in the information and use of what took place in boucher. and he also said that it is important for the international leaders and community to not to rush to any judgment. and until they have heard all of the evidence and information that the russian officials have at prescott also said that, according to the russians, their information doesn't match what the crenan officials are saying about the accounts and the chronology of what happened in boucher, according to the spokesperson of the kremlin, at the footage that we've seen come out of that town, it appears to show some inconsistencies insinuating that the images are fake,

according to the russian officials. he also said that it's important to hear all of the accounts from the russian military and the russian defense forces have said that they left a boot on march 30th and that everything according to them, was in order when they evacuated that city door said the deputy general of the un, it's due in moscow as russia is asking for a meeting of the un security council. how that like to go down while martin gray has arrived in moscow on sunday, and he is meeting with the russian foreign minister survey, la rob. and prior to the 2 men meeting privately, the un officials said that his main goal here was to try and achieve some kind of a cease fire. he understands that that will not happen today, but he is looking for some kind of assurances from the russian foreign minister

about establishing humanitarian pause in trying to facilitate some aid getting into certain areas of the country as well as specifically trying to get to people in north of kiev, he specifically said they want a that you one wants a humanitarian pause in the areas of churney have and her song. and that this was the message she was bringing with him from the un secretary general. as far as that urgent meeting at the security council that the russians have asked for, according to the russian foreign ministry, the british delegation at the one who holds the presidency of the security council for this month. they have denied the request as been the stand from officials of the one. there is a schedule meeting about ukraine to be held on tuesday and that is where all parties involved will be able to discuss the situation in boucher as well and also doors. the present person has signed it decree, restricting some visas,

but then they're also going to be more thought from russia. so what's happening there? well, the presidential decree that has just been signed by law. we put in limits certain restrictions a day that had been ongoing between you countries and russia. now this means that it really affects diplomats and journalists mainly from the e u countries as well as iceland, norway, switzerland, denmark, and this been sign. this is apparently in an attempt and an in response to what the foreign minister have called earlier in march at the regulations and restrictions that was imposed on russian citizens from within the countries. they said this is a counter measure, a reactive measure, really. and what it means is that they, those ad nationalities will be able to still obtain visa to russia,

but it will be much more difficult for them to do so. and of course, the diplomats will no longer have at visa, free entry into russia. it seems to be yet another attempt to buy this government to try and respond to measures that have already been taken against russian citizens as well as diplomats. since the start of the so called special military operation began on february 24th in ukraine dose jibari to bring out us up to speed with everything from moscow. thank you. french president, manuel. com. the, like most, all the european beat is calling for more sanctions against russia in response to the war crimes allegations natasha butler is in paris with more of the reaction from the you was speaking on french radio. the french present a minute macro said that the european union would consider urgently another round of functions on russia particular and things like oil and on coal. now micro said

that the sanctions were necessary because what he said was growing evidence of war crimes and atrocities. he said would be committed by russian forces in ukraine. he talks about the situation in the port city of mario pole in the south of ukraine, where thousands of civilians have been tracked now for weeks. and the most appalling conditions, unable to leave frances, been working with agencies on the ground to try and put in place humanitarian cory doors. but so many people continue to remain in that city. he also talked, of course, about the things that we have seen in butcher just outside of keep the capital of ukraine, where civilians, bodies have been seen lying in the streets of the body since. and i think we are all extremely shocked and we have a very firmly condemned a 2nd. it's clear that there are very clear signs today pointing to war crimes if the russian army that was in butcher, like we have also signaled to ukrainian authorities,

our willingness to assist them in the investigation. they are currently conducting, international justice should be enforced. and so those who are responsible for these crimes should answer for them and said it is key with you foreign policy chief us burrell said that there would be urgent discussions on a new round, a sanction to confirm that we've also heard from other men to say we've heard from spain, from poland, both describing some of the act by russian forces in ukraine as genocide, walsall, even asking for an international investigation into atrocities in ukraine to be put in place immediately. germany's defense minister says the you must now consider banning the importation of all russian gas. dominic cane has more from berlin. what you have here is a growing recognition from the political elite here suddenly 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 and 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. well, as germany pushes the you to discuss and import back on rush and gas, let's take a look at just how feasible that is. the repeat, you need. guess more than 40 percent of its natural gas from russia. about a 3rd of that passes through ukraine. germany is the single biggest important and it gets more than half its supplies from russia and much of it through the old stream. one pipeline is the 2nd biggest, with 40 percent of its needs coming from russia and the net and imports about 25 percent. kit giles is a senior consulting fellow of the russia and the ratio program, a chatter house. he says it would be tough for the youth caught off imports of

russia. russia is always been dependent on raw materials and energy 1st and foremost among them in order to bring in foreign currency. and at the moment when russia hard currency reserves overseas have been targeted by the foot wave of sanctions, its energy ex look that are actually topping them out and eroding the impact of all of those sanctions that were imposed after their onslaught on your right. so for this proposal by germany to, to suddenly cut the use dependence on rushing energy to go through it will take not only a huge amount of reorientation or european economies, but also it'll be a huge impact on the russian economy itself. well, the problem that european economies have is not just that it will mean an increased cost of living for europeans on top of the enormous costs increases for energy that they've already seen. but also it means reversing decades of the money policy. germany in particular has been warned for decades about the impact of moving away from, for example, nuclear power, and becoming more and more dependent on russia. but germany was insisting that all

of these energy plant lunch, like the north stream one you mentioned were purely economic project. that would be no political impact. now that they painted themselves into a corner, it's going to be very painful and expensive to extricate himself from it. well, we don't have any strategic leadership for dealing with the fact that this russian attack on ukraine is actually just the 1st stage in their own on europe. that is missing. and of course, sanctions are only one part of the overall time that would be needed to deal with it. are head on the news all, including for lack of tale, a cabinet quit the nation faces. it's worth economic crisis and decades. class and equitable government officials up to change regulations after at least 20 people are killed in a prison right. at this ford palest last one of the ohio grate signs off his career. ah,

hong kong chief executive kerry lamb has announced she will not seek reelection had mulch, who was 5 year term, was maud by the worst social unrest and 50 years and criticism of her response to the pandemic. adrian brown report from hong kong and she july, 2017, and carry lamb is sworn in as hong kong forth chief executive, she'd been the territories deputy leader. so this had been expected. what was unforeseen though, with a tumultuous events that followed months of protests in 2019 led to the imposition of a wide ranging national security law. it stifle dissent, but provoked an exodus by those who no longer saw a future here. an exodus that has grown since the lamb administration further tightened already strict measures to combat cobit 19. more than 800000 people have left this year alone. in my view,

the way the 2019 protests were handled were at evidence of incompetence and incompetent leader and political in confidence in other parts of the world. politics matters, but here we choose leaders with no political skills. and this is the communist party's deliberate decision to do. lamb says she informed mainland china's leaders about her wish not to seek a 2nd term more than a year ago, yet waited until now to make it official are gone. but i will not be taking part in the election for the sex hung on chief executive, our company, my 5 year term as chief executive on the 30th of june this year. and i will offer coin and to my 42 years of public service candidates who want her job have another 12 days to submit nominations. it pays more than $670000.00 a year and comes with a palatial colonial era residence. her deputy john lee is reportedly about to enter

the race. carrie lamb declined to comment on her performance during the past 5 years. but a recent weeks, she's been widely criticized over her handling of the 5th outbreak of cobit 19. and the fact this city now has one of the world's highest freights from the virus. lamb once complained about the strain of serving to masters, the hong kong people and china's leaders. it's a balancing act, her successor, will likely have to continue. adrian brown, al jazeera hong kong troy lang, his president is offered to share power with the opposition and response to growing anti government protests. got the buyer to box up, made the offer off to his entire cabinet resigned. it follows demonstration by 1000 to defy the curfew. to demonstrate against few food and medicine shortages, protest is a calling for the roger pox. a family who hold the roles of president and prime

minister to resign focused on supreme court has agenda hearing on whether the prime minister's decision to dissolve parliament is constitutional. the arguments will be heard on tuesday. the opposition appealed against iran. cons order on sunday, that triggered political crisis. that move derailed, no confidence vote against him. he's called for a new election in 3 months time. hungary prime minister, victor, or bon, has declared victory in an election, overshadowed by the war, neighboring ukraine. andrew simmons reports from budapest turn. victor, all bang, who likes to think of himself as the strong man of yours? his supporters are elated. whatever the overall thinking hunger is, voters have given their leader an overwhelming vote of confidence. i guess your name, in case we look pretty good. we've never looked as good as to night. we won a huge victory. it can even be seen from the moon,

but in brussels for sure. that last quit was aimed at the you 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 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 that all van told voters they were safe with him. he wouldn't get involved the war nato when the e. u may be giving military support, but they will be non from hungary. and so the ornate national assembly building in budapest remains dominated by album. 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 say this will be a very heavy dilemma because if that will be a landslide victory and apparently it will be a landslide victory. the question are maybe post. rather, the existence of semi alter retiree and 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 and whether they view the election as free and fair in the 2018 pole, they declared it wasn't fair. 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 bias. probably the majority of news outlets. and so what caused this a power turn around in or bands position that 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, and neighboring serbia president alexander voltage, is also a celebrating reelection. russian leader of that uprooting congratulating church, saying he hopes for a strategic partnership. who just says he has no plans to move away from his close ties with russia. well, still aspiring to join the e. u. contin monahan reports looking ahead to 5 more years in power. serbian president alexander who held his when the historic victory don't because we're the true. i'll be the serve. who's been in power in our country for the longest time. i'm not someone who's proud and proud of power,

but i am humble in front of my people who made it possible for me. with the trust boots, one decisively taking around 3 times, the votes of his nearest rival. his ruling party also swept to victory and parliamentary elections. some in the opposition accused him of rigging the boat route to go with them of trying to do the same thing. despite admitting defeat this time, his main rival says a growing number of voters are ready for change. these elections are the beginning of the end of the church. we will not be waiting for use for the next elections at least parliamentary elections. we will not and cannot betray serbian citizens who stood up to day masses of people. masses of young people spilled to the streets and polling stations, but looming over the entire fare with the shadow of the war in ukraine. the russian invasion happened just days in the election campaign, while his rivals pledged to combat corruption. it was rooted just promises of stability and neutrality that may have tipped things in his favor. let him know

super nama. we believe that we face many challenges, but that the most important thing for serbia is to have good relations in the region to continue with european path on the other hand. but at the same time not to ruin its ties with traditional friends. serbia has long been a traditional ally of russia, but it also wants good relations with the west. as the spires the membership of the european union, that's made its foreign policy, a difficult balancing act. serbia joined un resolution condemning the russian invasion, but so far it's refuse to impose any sanctions. this window is closing, i don't think in europe, you can really have a very good relations with russia in the same time putting further where you integration. so he would be really tempted to change that policy, and that would be a huge pressure for me. you, our economy is actually basically completely dependent on, on the you who to hold on power seems secure for now,

but is international position is more precarious. russia in the west or more divided than at any time in recent history. and for serbia, it may grow increasingly difficult to resist taking a side than smaller than al jazeera. and it's going to take now of the weather with jeff. here we go, it's april. the 4th and what were still talking about snow in canada. it's not unheard of, but it is still painful. so here's the details for nova scotia, including halifax. there is a snowfall warning up to 30 centimeters. i think the worst of it will be cape breton island, and then it will slide into southern parts of newfoundland from snow to severe thunderstorms for the deep south of the us around northern eastern texas, oklahoma and into arkansas for the west coast of the us. some rain is leaking in from the pacific northwest san francisco at 18 degrees, but your temperatures are going to heat up. i think we'll get you up to 30 degrees by thursday, so that is while above average. ok now to this vigorous system plaguing the west

coast of canada, the pacific northwest, we've got rain, we've got snow and oh yeah, we've got winds as well. i think they could crank up to about a 100 kilometers per hour for coastal sections that could cause some damage. central america, heaviest rain relegated toward coast rica in panama, and now we're off to south america. so for both the pacific and the atlantic coast, we've got rain coming at you and still tracking out these storms as they roll through paraguay into the southeast to brazil. that includes porto late gray with the highest $24.00 degrees on monday. does come here on al jazeera africa's largest oil producer struggles to supply homes and businesses with the attic tricity plus don't say, a grin. notate the brownies, the message to musicians from ukraine's president. and in, for one of those things, most famous faces is taking on a new sporting challenge. and he will be here with that story.

ah, 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 the started to please don't it. they're not doing the right thing. let's leave simplicity to the headlines. join me as i take on the lars dismantled misconceptions and debate. the contradictions do we have a real democracy here in the united states, this not a political party, it's a wrote a cool insurgency, mark lamond hill, and it's time to get up front right here on out 0. ah, unprompted and uninterrupted discussions from our london broadcast center on tuesday or china in the us sleep walking their way to war in the struggle over ukraine. here is the test for president joe biden. what is really trying to do is rewrite the security architecture in europe. it's your personal united states. you,

sir, if you go to walking through gum at the same time, you're weekly, take on us politics and society. that's the bottom line, hulu. ah, you're watching arduous era reminder of our top stories. this, our ukraine's president is in butcher where mass graves, we discovered the bodies of dead civilians. laudermill landscape says there is evidence. russia has committed war crimes and genocide in the town. roches defense ministry has denied ukraine's accusations calling them unfounded. it insists all of its military units left, which are 4 days before the footage was released. as he said, follow volara residence. he is in boucher and he says the world needs to know what

happened. lewis should lockwood. first of all, it's very important that we have media here. we would like you to show the world what happened, what was done by russian military in ukraine. it's very important for you to see that the peaceful people who live without electricity or water still opposed their russian occupies. there's no difference between the authorities, all the people. we have representatives who were captured and killed and polish prime minister is called for the creation of an international commission to investigate moscow for war crimes has brought the boys to a more. she's such the crime of genocide must be judged, the less you properly documented and judgment of. and therefore we call for the establishment of an international commission to investigate the crime of genocide in these towns in ukraine. probably cabman is an international human rights lawyer who specializes in the field of war crimes and the international criminal court

joins. it's not law from london. thank you for your time. so we heard palding's prime minister there calling for the creation of an international commission to investigate moscow for war crimes. what avenues exist currently to investigate crimes alleged crimes like this, and also to prosecute them. thank you. well, they're all a number of groups are already in existence, so there is support which is being provided to the prosecutor general in ukraine to, to investigate and gather evidence. of course, we've already seen the the i c. c prosecutor, karen con, moving forward. he was recently in, in chief of course there have been calls for the creation of a separate truck, you know, and to investigate the crime of aggression. we've also had the un human rights council has recently created a commission of inquiry and,

and 3 commissioners have not been appointed actually one i'm going to cuz i've got a degree and there's a lot of mission who has been appointed. and so i think that there are all efforts ongoing, that looking at different ways in which these message can be investigated and those those that this would of course, continue particularly following what we've seen in the last 24 hours. ok. of all those avenues that you mentioned there. would russia be held accountable in any of those in any rows of inch? well, if you are not talking just about these being investigated and then, you know, getting coverage of, of what has happened. but i mean actually being held accountable being penalized in some way or certainly i think that the, the different mechanisms that have been set up to ensure that the evidence is strong enough that victims accounts are taken. and that there is a process aimed towards

a judicial outcome not being so just the purpose of conducting investigations is, is to hold individuals accountable. now, we know that russia will not, in any meaningful way, participate in that process. but of course, it seems caught in divers, senior russian officials, then they will effectively be stuck and roughly they will not be able to leave and say that there are ways in which they can be targeted inspector reference. and as we've seen with claudia rolanda and, and other judicial mechanisms, there is only so much that individuals can do to evade to they justice. so yes, i think there is a very real and very probable possibility that they did that it was what we can't. ok. what needs to be proved for what has to be proved in order for something to constitute a war crime. and how hard is it to prove something like that? i think what we've seen in the last 24 hours if we just say last 24 hours where

there is evidence of individual civilians with their hands tied behind their bass, their wounds in the back of the head, which demonstrates execution. so best bet is a war crime for killing. there is also evidence because the systematic nature and widespread nature of crimes being a crime, crime against humanity. but of course, what you've got to them to do is to establish who is responsible for the crimes that we know that the, that the russian states, the russian military forces are responsible for many of these crimes that would say . and the evidence is being documented. witness accounts, video, photographic evidence is being collected and of course, a number of russian soldiers have been arrested. are you paying forces? of course they will be able to pinpoint where those orders came from. but

a lot of what we're seeing is open source material. and there is very reliable source material that will be able to establish responsibility for the front. russia, of course says the whole thing is staged, but it has also been accused of breaking the geneva conventions bytes treatment of prisoners. can you explain to us what the geneva conventions are and what breaking them may mean for russia? suddenly, the geneva conventions sets out all the laws and customs of war. how conflict when between warring parties, the rules of conflict not targeting civilians, not talk to protected science as we've seen, schools, hospitals, ambulances, 1st responders. when you target those, it comes to a war crime. and unless you can show any form of military necessity, which is very difficult to prove the treatment of prisoners of war they,

they have to be treated in a particular way. once soldiers, effectively what we would say for the commer, they're no longer combatants. they have to be treated with respect and when individuals are being detained and tortured, right, we've seen widespread rate in which particular those old war crimes. i mean there are various different rules that are provided in the geneva conventions. those are replicated in the room statute. the court will also full of training domestic law and his own domestic obligations. and of course, russian domestic law, special obligation means means that they are reaching national, unintentional. yeah. all right, i thank you very much. your time to the kevin, they're an international human rights lawyer. a political outsider has been elected president in costa rica, economist and former well, bank official road,
