ah al jazeera, when ever use all, ah cruise president vulgar marizza once he visit the devastated ton of work, he says, russia committed war crimes. moscow denies that and suggests photos and videos of the dead bodies in the town were. sage ah, watson, l just 0 lie from headquarters, high and also ahead some government and business leaders i've seen when seen between than others. simply put they are like the un blast full climate

commitments. as it warns, again, it's now or never to avoid catastrophic global warming. hong kong leader kerry lama says she won't seek another term after a tenure that off some of the worst social unrest and memories. the hello, the ukrainian president village and lansky has declared the world needs to know what happened and boot shop zelinski spoke while visiting the town near keith, where he and western allies accuse russian forces have committed war crimes before leaving it in ruins. images from recent days appeared to show bowing body shop at close range and hastily dug mass grave. russia suggesting this was staged, but lensky says there is no doubt about russian atrocities. well,

1st 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 unit kramer. it's very important to see that the peaceful people who live without electricity or water, he's still opposed with their russian occupies. there's no difference between the authority. all the people we have representatives who were captured and killed. now there was a mon con, has been reporting from boucher throughout the day. just the 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 will 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 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. let's bring in rob mcbride, he's joining us from the vive. so tell us more about the ukranian president's visit to boucher and what's come out of it, rob that's right, president lansky traveling to boucher to see for in south the this alleged atrocity . clearly believing it was important to be that taking the international media with him, with just having the raid warning has just been lifted. that's the sirens. you can

hear, it's the all clear. we siren going. we've been a warning for the past hour or so here in the but he has been talking to the media . he's been seeing this scene of this alleged atrocities saying how can you negotiate? it is hard to negotiate with a country that does this, indicating the bodies in front of him. also saying that, you know, this is evidence that this war has to be finished off as quickly as possible. and once again, asking how they can be happening in europe in the 21st century. so i think he's really expressing his own outrage, rage that he shed, i think with pretty much every ukrainian in the country right now. a calling once more for the international community to increase sanctions on russia, calling on european nation to stop buying russian gas also giving an open invitation to the international community to world lead is to come here to ukraine

to see this scene of this atrocity we, we know that from boots, that as the cranium forces have been going through that they have been finding now more bodies in buildings, in the gardens of houses and aside alleys and also hearing as the media goes round through boucher and adjoining towns as eyewitness accounts of various atrocities carried out allegedly by russian forces in occupation and as they withdrew further away. all right and rob, while i have here with us, i mean we can hear the sirens going behind you, but let me just ask you one more question. if i may, and that's about the situation and, and where your poll, which of course is the city that's been besieged since the, since the war began. yeah, that continues to be extremely dia, but there are, there is a contingent that is continuing to hold on to the city. although most of the outer

parts of the city have been taken by russian by the russian forces. the matter of mary, you pulled down and says that some 90 percent of the city 90 percent of the city is actually in ruins. and latest pictures that have come from mary. apple seem to bear that out. bodies on the streets. many of the building is completely ruined. it's interesting that the prosecutor general here in ukraine says that she, her office, will be investigating various alleged atrocities in boucher in the, in other cities around the edge of cave. she has indicated intimated that in fact there are other atrocities that that's the worst the boot jet that we may well be learning about in the coming days. so but certainly the same office will be investigating just what has taken place in mary paul over these past few weeks. it is been completely besieged and battered from all sides. thank you so much. rob

mcbride reporting from the cross was foreign minister circuit live. rob has again denied that russia has done anything wrong in which i knew that she would regular i never fake axes arranged in the city or breach in care of region after the russian military left from the in accordance with the plan and agreements reach, there was a staging a few days later, which is why they promoted now for china with social networks by ukrainian representatives and their western patrons. the u. s. president of aidan says there's ample evidence. he wants vladimir putin to be tried for war crimes. he is a war to me, but we have to gather the information. we have the can you provide, you play with her weapons, davy, to continue the fight. and we have together all the detail of the video actually have a war crime trial. this guy is brutal and what's happening with outrageous and

every one feeling. my car has joining us from washington d. c. what more did the president have to say? well, clearly anger to president biden, arriving back of the white house from a weekend at his home in delaware, saying at describing president putin as brutal, accusing him of war crimes and saying that he should face a war crimes tribunal. not all of this is significant. it was only a week ago that president biden reversed white house policy, which is that the definition of war crimes is a legal one. and that has to be investigated. however, he went out of hand of that investigation saying last week there were war crimes happened. ukraine now he goes even further and saying that president of gluten himself should be brought before a war crimes tribunal. significantly though the president was asked directly of what is happening in ukraine constitutes genocide. he declined to agree with that.

here we have yet again, a very precise legal term, and what constitutes a genocide president biden, not going that far at this particular point. however, making very clear, he believes that president putin should appear before a war crimes tribunal, as these investigations continue. and make those oppressed by the you and ambassador to the u. s. to remove russia from the human rights council. we're where things stand with that and how likely is a well, it's a very significant move the, you and the u. s. ambassador, calling for a vote in the un general assembly. now there are 193 members there to expel russia from the human rights console of which it's been a member. it's at 2nd off a 3 year term would require a 2 thirds vote within the u. n ga. now, one must note that there have been 2 motions concerning ukraine in the general assembly in recent weeks. in both cases, more than

a 140 nations condemned russia. so it would appear that the numbers are there when it goes to the vote. and indeed, there should be a 2 thirds majority to vote russia off the human rights council. now this is happened once before, back in 2011, when libya was the country that was voted off the human rights council, but a significant move and one that certainly would show as the broad spread of international approbation of what russia has been doing in ukraine, thank you. my can out reporting from washington. european leaders have express largely similar statements to the u. s. president. natasha butler and paris tells us more about what they've been saying was thinking on french radio, the french present a minute mike crawl 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. in 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 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 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 signal to the ukrainian or forty's our willingness to assist them in the investigation. they are currently

conducting international justice and should be enforced. and so those who are responsible for these crimes should answer for them and said it is key. where the you foreign policy chief use, their burrell said that they would be urgent discussions on a new round of sanctions. he confirmed that we've also heard from other member states. we've heard from a spain, from poland, both describing us, some of the acts by russian forces in ukraine as genocide, warsaw even asking for an international investigation into atrocities in ukraine to be put in place immediately. holland prime minister is passing, president mackerel to take an ever harder line with russia. sonya president, your microphone. mister president, macro gilbert. how many times have you negotiate with putin? what have you achieved? have you stopped in these actions that took place on criminals and not to be discussed and negotiated with criminals? must be fought,

the me again, the top stories on al jazeera, the, our current residents who travel to boot show or russian forces have been accused of killing civilians. a literary zaleski says russia must be held to account with president joe biden, once one reputed to face trial for work crimes. moscow is denying the allegations for ministers target elaborate, dismissed. the videos are bodies seen in boucher as faith and ukraine says russia is blocking evacuation efforts by the red cross in variable. tens of thousands of people have been trapped for weeks with little food, water and other supplies. the one has released a landmark report on what's being called a climate emergency. the intergovernmental panel on climate change says, our planet is on track to exceed the average global temperature of $1.00 degrees

celsius. it says the catastrophic effect climate change like floods, droughts on super storms, but only got worse. greenhouse gas emissions needs to be reduced by 43 percent and methane via 3rd by 2030. that can only happen if countries reduce their dependence on fossil fuels and replace it with renewable energy. the judy is reached, the verdict, entities them link. these reports of the intergovernmental panel on climate change is the litany of broken climate promises. it is a file of shame cataloguing the empty pledges that put us suddenly on track towards and and livable worlds. we are on a fast track to climate disasters. a thing in our environment editor and clark nick, what's your take on this report? well, ethan vote laying out how the climate crisis is here. the situation is serious and, and the science is it's very clear press. most distinct assessments we heard was

from the co chair of the working group. jim scare who said simply, it is now or it is never and that's absolutely right because time has all but run out and it is time for at the big government to step up and big corporations too. and especially when you put it into the context of the energy crisis we've been hearing about the supplies of russian gas. let's just see how we've got to this point. the i p c. c is a u. n. 40 that it examines the state of the global climate and every 6 or 7 years . this is big assessment and misses the 6th time it's done it. and in this 6 cycle, we saw the 1st report and that came out in august last year. and if you remember at that point, there were wildfires across the world in north america and australia in europe, in greece and in turkey. i was reporting from there when that report came out and it talked about the causes, which is us, which is humanity, warping the planetary system. warping the climate system of very bad results, causing a floods and droughts in and so forth. part 2 was then released at the end of

february, but that was lost amid the russian invasion. but it was turned by scientists as the bleak, his warning yet an antennae could terror as he spoke of that one as an atlas of human suffering and damien diamonds. have failed climate leadership, so it was very, very bad. and that brings us now to this point to part 3, which talks about mitigation, about potential solutions and pathways at that governments could and should follow to deal with the climate crisis. what does it say? remember, we're at the point where emissions need to drop by 45 percent by the end of the decade. that's just 8 years time. it's very soon an emissions at this moment arising the target we're aiming for is net 0 by 2050. all about keeping the temperature from rising above at paris target of 1.5 degrees celsius above pre industrial levels were already at 1 point, one degrees celsius. and already were see these effects that we've been talking about. soup storms and drops of floods,

wildfire zone. so what is the path forward then? what are the solutions that have been put forward in this report? well, the report is all about policies and technologies in finance is needed to cut emissions . it will start with the obvious one that the need to, as a report says to add to have a substantial reduction in fossil fuels as soon as possible that sells to me as if a member states have debated about that. a more to down the wording because we all know we need to eliminate fossil fuels. i imagine the big petri states that formed that would change their portal. so talks about phasing out fossil fuel subsidies. this is critical. the i m f. a calculated $5.00 trillion dollars is spent on subsidies in 2020. imagine if that was just put into r and d for renewables and so forth. report also talks about ramping up renewables, including into alternative energies like hydrogen, cool for cities to be more efficient. and net 0 emissions from the industrial sector, which is going to be very hard. that accounts for about a quarter of all emissions. and they just need to change their practices completely

. it sounds very hard to achieve all of this, but factor in, at the exponential rise of renewables and how cheap they become. you can see how it might be possible. prices have dropped 85 percent since 2010 and the international energy agency said that 2021 was another record year for renewable energy sale current trends. it will exceed that of fossil fuels in nuclear by 2026. so that's the kind of thing that needs to be maintained. ok, thank you so much. the clark, hong kong chief executive has announced that she will not be seeking re election. carrie lands tumultuous 5 year term was marred by the worst social unrest and 5 decades. and criticism of her response to the pandemic from hong kong. here's adrian brown. and she july, 2017, and carry lamb is sworn in as hong kong 4th 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 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 going below have not been taking part
