a new documentary follows his non boiling campaign to bring down the corrupt regime, astonishing outcome with good product, but resolution. i am not alone on mias velvet revolution coming soon on al jazeera . ah, your brains president vladimir lansky visits the devastated town of butcher, where he says russia committed war crimes. ah, so again, i'm kelvin. now this is al jazeera live from doha, also coming up on called the to carry lam analysis. she won't seek another term after tenure, that sort of the worst social unrest and memory class. don't say a somber note to the grammys. the message to musicians from ukraine's

president ah, ukrainian president vladimir zalinski has declared the world needs to know what happened in butcher savanski spoke while visiting the town near keith, where he and western allies accused russian forces of committing war crimes. before leaving it, ruins images from recent days appear to show bowed bodies shot at close range, and hastily dug mass grave. russia has suggested that this was staged with lansky says there's no doubt about russian atrocities. but when a single another's was lewis should be 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 these peaceful people who live without electricity or water still oppose the

russian occupies. there's no difference between the authorities, all the people. we have representatives who were captured and killed. there is a wrong con, has been reporting from blue to throughout the day. and a warning, some viewers may find the following images disturbing. 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 wall of 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. ready to this church to try and find out if their loved ones actually buried. the moves here were 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, hey, in black bags to give them some sort of dignity and death. run the join us live now from the west and ukrainian city of live if and rob, as i said, the president went to butcher to see it all 1st hand. what else did he have to say? i think it was important to zelinski felt it must have been important for him to see for himself the sight of water, the ukrainians claim has been this killing of a civilians to express his outrage. a kind of outrage. i think that's been felt by ukrainian so all over the country. he said that it's very difficult to negotiate with russians who are capable of doing what he says that they do ukrainian say that they, they did that killing at old and we civilians in their withdrawal,

but negotiate they must because again, he reminded the world that really this war has to be brought to an end as soon as possible, asking as he has mentioned in the past. how can this be happening in the 21st century that here in europe? so it is interesting that he made this trip and i think of a right in saying, unless he has to carried out other missions outside of kiva secret legal clandestinely. this is the 1st time he's actually left the central part of the ukrainian capital. i think it shows the kind of confidence the ukrainians have now that they have that broken the possible siege of either ukrainian capital. busy that russian forces do appear to be withdrawing. so he is also reminded that the west just about their what he sees as their obligations saying, look, we need both sanctions against russia. when will european countries stop in porting russian gas to put more pressure on russia?

a door, so inviting the international community to see for themselves a want to he. they say the russians have carried out in boucher the prosecutor general in ukraine has said that an investigation will be started in the don't they say that massacre in boucher and also a joining towns and we are all so now that media have been going to boot just talking to people 1st hand getting fumble, eye witness accounts about the, the way that the russian forces acted while in the town. that when they 1st invaded, when they 1st pushed through the town, apparently firing indiscriminately people, they're saying that a lot of civilians were killed as well as fighters and military. that they didn't a differentiate between them that, that people were tortured according to people in that butcher. there were some accounts that some russian soldiers, especially younger scott scripts behaved quite right, quite decently that they talked about being homesick. wanted to go back to russia even shed their russians. but the what is the less that lasting impression there in

boucher is the the brutality of the, the russians that when they left that was this apparently indiscriminate killing of possibly schools of people in the town. i ta, thank you very much for that update that lie from levin. russia requested an emergency meeting of the un security council on monday to discuss blue chip and it's denials of wrong doing. however, britain, the current council president refused saying there's already a meeting scheduled for tuesday. dos jabbar is in moscow. the general view here is one of i dismissal and counter accusations. according to the russian foreign minister surgery, la rob. he says that the events and the images that we've seen come out of boucher is a really something that is aimed at trying to attack to be russian perspective. and

that they don't believe that the situation is, as it's being presented, suggesting that the events that have been shown across the world is stage that that is the russian foreign ministers point of view. we've also been hearing from the kremlin spokesperson, dmitri hescol, who says that his government categorically reject any accusations that the russian military had anything to do with what transpired in boot charge. he also said that it is very important for the international community to not rush to any conclusions or accusations until the russian officials have put forth their arguments and perspectives. he also said that there is reason to believe that the footage that has emerged from those towns in the ukrainian capital appear to have been tampered with, suggesting that the footage in the video is fake according to the russians. and that they want to be able to have their say, and they believe that this is yet another part of

a much larger unprecedented misinformation campaign, aimed at attacking the russian defensive forces that are operating in ukraine. let's take a look at some more of the european reaction to the allegations of atrocities in ukraine. british prime minister boss johnson says he hopes to get a tough response from allies. what he's called despicable acts are akin to a horror movie. is tony and prime minister color tweeted this is not a battlefield. it's a crime scene. in french president, mary macolon says there is clear evidence of war crimes in butcher latasha. butler is in paris who was speaking on french radio. the 1st president emanuel mac roll said that the european union would consider urgently another round of functions on russia. particular 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 trapped 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 corridors. 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 street the body since. and i think we are all extremely shocked. and we have a very firmly condemned the 2nd. it's clear that there are very clear signs today pointing to war crimes, the russian army that was in butcher like we have also signaled to ukrainian or forty's 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 of sanctions. he confirmed 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. seventies, defense minister says the, you must now consider the banding, the importation of all russian gas from the cane reports 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 have 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. let's take a look at the feasibility of a full e. you import back on russian energy. the european union gets more than 40 percent of its natural gas from russia. about a 3rd of that passes through ukraine. germany is a biggest single importer. it gets more than half its supplies from russia, much of it through the old stream, one pipeline. italy is the 2nd biggest with 40 percent of its needs coming from russia. and the netherlands imports about 25 percent. kit giles is a senior consulting fellow, all the russia and eurasia program at chatham house. he says, it would be tough for the you to cut off import russian gas. 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. will the problem that european economies have is not just that it will mean an increase 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 economic 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 point loan, like the north stream one you mentioned were purely economic project. and 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 your grain is actually just the 1st stage in their onslaught on europe. that is missing and of course sanctioned, are only one part of the overall plan that would be needed to deal with it. coming up on al jazeera avow to make changes after several deaths during a prison. ryan acquittal also thought good big man. yeah. and they got set of costa rica political outside been elected president. ah, they're still bacon and pre monsoon heats in india and pakistan. hello everyone. plenty of temperatures in the forty's take your pick of are nasty,

it's pretty close to average above average day though, in beijing with a height of $25.00 on tuesday. ah. amid the ongoing ukraine, russia wore some neighboring countries in a rush of chalk on that soil. do you take that as a serious possibility of, of russia attack? i think there is serious possibility and absolute certainty is 4 food mark to do its own. and the deputy foreign minister prevailed, jablonsky talks, challenges, era were leading eco friendly solutions to combat threats to our planet on al jazeera. ah ah

ah, what geology is there? a reminder about top stories this, our ukraine's president is in gucho when mass graves have been discovered and the bodies of dead civilians. a lot of his landscape says there is evidence. russia has committed all crimes and genocide in the town. bushes defense ministry is denied ukraine's accusations calling them unfounded. it insists all its military units left, which are 4 days before the footage was released. ukraine 2nd largest city has been hit by more russian shouting 7 people have been killed at another 12 injured us. a bake is in khaki. this is a point of impact with the russian reside hit. now is clearly a residential area. now what they fire out of these small, tiny pellets is metal pellets. and you can see the mox all around the

broken, the windows. you can see for the long, this was what the, the dam is that these do you but mocks all around this wall. you got glass on the floor where it's rational, haven't radius of around 10250 meters and the playground there. the cover and call window here was smashed. even a van all the way back there has been hit and it has a radius of 10255 meters. and we believe that one person was killed at this location. again in the middle of residential area. this 2 playgrounds, either side of me, it could have been way worse. and this location 2 people were killed. the still blood on the floor. they can see through the sand that the emergency services have for over the bread on the bench from those people that were sitting there.

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 liter. 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 hong kong chief executive. our company, my 5 year term as she effective 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
