1:03 am
the dead lay in the streets for days even weeks. even now they wait to be picked up by overworked, undertakers. at the burial site, people had wrapped some of the bodies in black plastic, a little dignity and death. the families took some solace in the fact that they were buried next to the church. many had come to be wed or attend sunday service before the war. her to the day, the men as well dates, the priest liens on his faith to deal with what his witnessed, which varies a lot of hatred and injustice that people few but the christians should forgive me . but to forgive, it doesn't mean to forget the kind of judge only gut can judge. somebody's have been moved from the mass grave to morgues in and around the town. since boucher was retaken by ukrainian forces force more do. i'm here looking for my brother. we were close, we talked every day in your mouth, but in town now i don't know where his body. i'm going to chide the mog,
1:04 am
someone sent me a picture and told me i need to come to identify him and i hope he is there. this is likely to be one of the largest burial sites in the town, but it's by no means the only one. in fact, across this city, people were burying their dead wherever they could, in their back yards in common areas, anywhere where they might be able to give their dead some dignity. and some respect . hossa, the ukraine's attorney general and keep gathering evidence of potential war crimes is now the priority. we started now, investigations echo charlie from march 24th of february this year. and now we have more than 4000 jost dirk cases about war crimes. and near 2000 cases which are connected to walk rounds. now these days all hord speak about boucher it appearing, her storming and in boucher justice for war crimes is
1:05 am
a concern for the future. the dead of simeon the war. but those left behind a desperate medicines and food are unlimited supply from what is available is quickly grabbed by those who have little of their old lives left him wrong. how deserve mucho will earlier, the russian ambassador to the united nations gave a news conference, denying claims of war crimes in butcher from the very beginning. it has been clear that this sir, is nothing else but yet another state pro occasion aim, the discrediting, and different realizing of the russian mood to load the case. it will never be the case, and it will never the keys we have factual evidence. so the 2, bruce, this point we're going to presented to security council as soon as possible. or the ambassador was also angry that russia's calls for an urgent un security council meeting to discuss the accusations against this country were rejected. and
1:06 am
we will try to speak to crystal, to me, at the united nations a little later in the program. now, an analysis of satellite images, meanwhile by the new york times refutes those claims by russia and that some vassar at the un that bodies were placed on the streets of butcher after their forces withdrew. satellite images provided to the times by max our technologies show that 11 bodies were already lying on one particular street on march 11th. when russian forces were by their own admission, occupying the town images from april, 2nd after ukraine had recaptured, butcher show, the bodies still lying there in the same position. the causes of death are unclear, but some of the dead had that their hands tied behind their backs. well, let's go to the united nations and speak to our correspondent. they are kristen salumi who was listening to that news conference, the russian ambassador at to the un gave a few hours ago with just her heard that the new york times has the evidence which
1:07 am
refutes said those claims. but more generally, what has been the reaction from the you went to the events in boucher was certainly been the topic of discussion here at the united nations today. the russian ambassador wanted to have a security council meeting, an emergency security council meeting. one was already scheduled for tuesday, so the united kingdom, which holds the presidency, decided to wait. the russian came out with that press conference of expressing his country's view, that this was staged by ukraine that these bodies were not left by russian soldiers. he pointed to a social media video of the boucher mer speaking after russia announced it with its withdrawal showing that he was happy that they were leaving, and that he didn't mention anything about these crimes. of course, as you say,
1:08 am
now there's evidence coming out that the bodies were, but a sensibly there before the troops moved. so we've had this back and forth at the united nations to day as we have since the start of the conflict with the united kingdom and other un officials pointing to images that are clearly disturbing and reports coming from the field of atrocities. and in the words of the united kingdom war crimes, with russia's denials. so what we've been hearing from you and officials is the need for an independent investigation. and that was perhaps the overarching call from the secretary general antonio gutierrez to day. also the high commissioner for human rights saying that those bodies need to be identified. they need to be investigated for a cause of death to put these allegations to rest once and for all but un official saying that there is clearly here grounds for
1:09 am
a war crimes investigation. and that needs to be done as soon as possible. and you and in fact is attempting to get officials into boucher now to look at those things . and kristen, meanwhile, the u. s. is colder for a suspension of russia from the human rights council. is that getting any traction of the un? right, the united states said it's a farce for russia to serve on a human rights body that they've called for them to be suspended. they plan to introduce a resolution to the general assembly doing just that it would take 2 thirds of countries to vote and supported that for it to happen. it's only happened one other time with libya in 2011. i, the united kingdom said that they would in fact, support such a call such a resolution. a 140 countries did support other nato backed resolutions in the general assembly, calling on russia to see sits, aggression. so they believe that they will have the votes to take that forward. so
1:10 am
far, however, they haven't introduced the resolution that something else on the horizon. but 1st we have to get an update on tuesday and the security council. we expect to hear from antonio gutierrez, we expect to hear from the humanitarian chief martin griffith on the latest on the ground, including efforts at a ceasefire. but we do expect boucher to in the alleged atrocities there to figure heavily into the tuesday meeting. christmas salumi with the latest the from the united nations kristen thing and you, as president joe biden says that there is ample evidence of atrocities by russia. he wants president putin to be tried for war crimes. he is a war. but we have to gather the provision. we have the ability to provide you with the website. very good. thank you. the white and we have the other all that the bill, the with the actual have a war car. broil. this guy is rudy. what's happening is
1:11 am
a good outrageous everyone. european leaders of express largely similar sentiments to the u. s. president francis president manuel macross says we're very clear signs that war. crimes have been committed in boucher. he's responded by expelling several russian diplomats and the european union's foreign policy chief said the block is working on drawing up additional sanctions. as a matter of urgency or re challenge has more how is europe to respond to boots, his horror across the continent that seen so many atrocities in the past? the shock that such killing is happening again in western capitals has always complete agreements of what to call them, where all uphold. by the seems in picture the butchery, the clear evidence of sexual crime. all the talk to think of innocent civilians is
1:12 am
it's very clear. the war crimes have taken place. the views of britons, foreign secretary echoed in most european capitals. we need to announce a tough new wave of sanctions. the reality is that money is still flowing from the west into patrons, war machine that has to stop. and this is where europe response gets tonia and recriminations get bitter. listen to poland. prime minister sonia president, your micro, mister president, macro. how many times have you negotiated with putin? what have you achieved or have you stopped any of these actions that took place? and mister, more of it ski attacks germany's long standing business and energy ties with putins, russia, shavers, average growth, g showing we have to speak out here, now condemn it. admit that it was the wrong policy because we are dealing with terrible crimes with the crime of genocide and the 21st century. germany is still
