yeah, i went to law because he blew in with god, asia, me go, i s a, but when i gave it a our, a brownfield, an intimate look at life in cuba maple zone. though i like ross, i got my boss hang on me when i came out, but assorted all people. i me hang the my cuba at this time on al jazeera ah, ah. ready russia is accused of committing war crimes in the ukrainian town of butcher as new video, images of new bodies on the streets, and reports of heavy fighting and ass rights in the besieged city of marian pole, where tens of thousands a.

you watching al jazeera alive from to how would be fully back people also coming up shoreline because government revoke says state of emergency it imposed last week to current. widespread anti government. ok. and we'll have a report from cambodia where on ty, trafficking lol is being used to target surrogate mothers the thank you for joining as we begin in ukraine where the full scale of the killings in the tons of future or pain and borrow junker are beginning to emerge, ukraine says more victims of being discovered every day, allegedly tortured, executed and burned. it blames russian truths that moscow and fis. it's all fake. the besieged, what city of mary paul is still under heavy bombardment, the 160000 remaining people have no water, electricity, medicine, or means of communication. the e. u is working on batting oil imports from russia. something the block has so far

avoided ukraine. surprisingly for me, as men ski says sanctions mass, much the gravity of what he says, rushes war crimes they go live to him non con now who joins us. okay, we have both correspondence with us from ukraine. i wrote mcbride is in libya, he'll tell us more about the situation, the marriott fall in just a moment. but 1st iran con, who's been ukraine's capital. keep iran, tell us more about these new disturbing images that are coming out of butcher well as police and the armies sweep through the towns of been recently retaken by ukrainian forces. they finding more what they call evidence of russian war crimes and atrocities. now what we're seeing at the moment is people going from a house to house to try and see if they can find bodies in the basements of those buildings. people were burying their bodies anywhere that they could in the front yards in any kind of common area. and that's now what sir, what we're saying. now,

according to the attorney general, there is least 4000 cases of war crimes that they say they can investigate right now. plus another 2000 that they say are connected to the war itself. so we are going to see more during the coming days as they sweep through this town and they try and gather evidence. the police are really the key for all of this. they're the ones that will be providing the results of their investigation to the attorney general. and that will form the basis of any war crimes investigations potentially, that might take place whilst all that is going on. there is real concern in you grave about the places they call it gets hurt. very helpful, for example, kurt leverage harmony. but they don't know what is going to happen in those areas when they eventually get there. this is now the focus for the ukrainians. it's about gathering enough evidence to get a criminal prosecution perhaps in the international criminal court, although that may be difficult because russia isn't

a signatory to that particular body. i am, ron, thank you for that. iran can live for i say in keith. let's go now alive. til robin mcbride, who is in living for issa. rob as im run said they are lot of focus on both chad, but the fighting is continuing out way in ukraine. tell us about these overnight airstrikes in mary paul. that's right. i mean, the russians seem to be re doubling their efforts finally to take this sir city the ukrainians who are still holding out in the very center of mary paul a continuing to defend and of course and the, the conditions for the civilians still trapped there. continue to deteriorate and they, the russians are in such a vice like control are of the matter. you, paul, that you know, a lot of the information we get comes from the russian side that some of the latest pictures we saw being distributed on use. agencies are a very russian soldiers in the parts of the city. they control

a collecting bodies off the streets of what appeared to be either ukrainian soldiers or all civilians. and are they both sides accused each other of not allowing humanitarian aid into the city at the i c r c, for example. that team that was trying to get access. they were stopped on monday, 20 in a town 20 kilometers away from a mary you, paul. they were held and that by russian forces. and it was only after negotiations that they were finally released yesterday and tuesday. so both sides accused each other of the, of causing the situation inside to deteriorate. turkey has offered to help to a get evacuate wounded people from the city and also evacuate dead bodies from the city. but that would require access of from that from the see from the see of resolve. and there's no indication that the russians are going to give, give that. meanwhile, in an interview with turkish media, president zalinski has accused the russians of not allowing any access into mary you, paul, because he says they are hiding what they have done there. that basically in terms

of scale that the, a war atrocities that the russians he says have carried out a far worse than what we have seen in places like boucher. so he is that's what he is claiming that that's why russians don't want any access. they want to take the city clean up what he says they have done before they finally open up the city once more. of course, these are accusations that the russians deny, rob thanking for that. i bet rob my bride life, or i say, in living in western ukraine. now, ukraine's president has told the un security council it should expel russia or disband. have you know to me? is lensky is demanding accountability for what he says is moscow's war crimes in his country. i wanting this report from christians to louise report contains graphic images view as may find distressing. ukraine's president addressed the security council on the heels of his visit to boucher vladimir lansky called for the united nations to hold russia accountable for war crimes saying it's

credibility is at stake. typically, when does a great deal, ladies and gentlemen, are you ready to shut down the un? do you believe that the times of international law have passed away? if your answer is no, the actions are needed now on immediate actions are needed. the un charter must get its force back again immediately. the un system must be reformed immediately, so that the right of the veto will not become the right of death. jubilant he told of horrors at the hands of russian troops, including women being raped and killed in front of families. people in cars being run over by tanks. and he showed grisly images of dead bodies in civilian clothes, laying in the streets. but russia insisted, the images were staged with nubian boogers does columbia. we are not shooting against civilian targets in order to save as many civilians as possible. again, precisely why were not advancing as fast as many expected were not acting like americans and their allies in iraq and syria raising entire cities to the ground.

they have no pity for them, but we felt great pity because these people are close to us. let us the united states confir russia's removal from the human rights council, which has begun a commission of inquiry and ukraine. given the growing mountain of evidence, russia should not have a position of authority in a body whose purpose, whose very purpose is to promote respect for human rights. not only is this the height of hypocrisy, it is dangerous. the un secretary general warned that the rising cost of food and fuel as a result of the crisis carried $74.00, developing nations, particularly vulnerable. we are already seeing some countries move from vulnerability into crisis and signs of city of social unrest. the flames of conflict are fooled by inequality deprivation and then the fundings. with all the warning sign, all signals flashing graves, we have

a duty to act. un officials pointed to growing evidence of potential war crimes, primarily by russia, and called for an independent investigation. russia pointed to the united states and its refusal to take part in investigation of its own soldiers in afghanistan, and showed no signs of cooperating. kristin folemi al jazeera, the united nations, and washington has announced an additional $100000000.00 in military age to ukraine . the tapia general says the world is a more dangerous place because of the russian invasion, allen facia reports from capitol hill. we will have that debate about what that top line number should be and it was a meeting to discuss the u. s. military supposed $773000000000.00 budget for the coming year. the largest in the world by far. it was a meeting, were developments in ukraine, overshadowed those discussions from the leading republican on the committee body, an attack on the russian president to look for ordering the invasion, but potent,

catastrophic invasion of ukraine has proven to the rest of the world. he's nothing more than an unhinge crackpot. the problem is this crack pot has his finger on the world's largest nuclear arsenal and illegal stock pile of chemical and biological weapons, which he hasn't hesitated to use against his perceived enemies. the u. s. is talk general mark. milly insists the actions by russia on the growth in the chinese military has in his view with the world, a more dangerous place. we are entering a world that is becoming more unstable. and the potential for significant international conflict between great bowers is increasing, not decreasing. yes. is pledge $14000000000.00 to the ukrainians and military 8 important support says the us defense secretary with help from congress. we been able to raj security assistance to ukraine, but helped ukrainian ukrainian people defend their lives and their country and their freedom. the u. s. still sees china as the biggest global threat,

and that's where the majority of the budget is targeted progressives hoped a democratic president would take some defense spending and put it into social programs. but that thinking has become another casualty of the war in ukraine. alan fisher al jazeera on capitol hill and millions of ukrainians have fled to other parts of europe since the war began. families forced to leave and looking for ways to keep their children connected to their home that to the home they have left behind. faint and run. a hand has more. ha, this saturday school in vienna used to cater to the city, small ukrainian diaspora. here children can learn the full curriculum all in their native language, but now tens of thousands fleeing the war or seeking sanctuary in austria. and the school is struggling to meet demand. in gone, the gilman bobby's a. sheila, when the was started, the number of children here, trouble and just to weeks get it. so now we have 7 or 2 new children. so nearly

1000 altogether. now we have to have a waiting list for, you know, numbers aren't the only challenge. many of these children who witnessed the horrors of war yet cummins is a big challenge for us because we don't know exactly how best to respond to each of them. we don't know how much they've seen who is seen a lot of all and who's only seen a bit. and which of the children are experiencing problems because of stress. we don't know which children can do a lot of learning and which children need lots of play time to be listened to. to have their emotional needs met. despite these difficulties, the school is proving a valuable lifeline for those fleeing the conflict. children here are taking comfort in the familiar as they find their feet in a foreign land. they, oh, i don't afraid because so they realized that her here is ukrainian children, if you grania and teachers. so, and they, they feel comfortable here. many of these children will be moving on in the coming

weeks and months. they'll find a more permanent refuge in germany and other parts of europe. but at this school, for now, at least they can enjoy small slice of the home they've left behind than mountain al jazeera. and we'll have more of the days news coming up on al jazeera, 30 years on boss. his capital remembers the longest siege of a city in modern history. yeah. and defined in for rule protests is ignore a curfew and demand. the president resigns. ah, there is a weather system dropping some snow in scotland have one. here's the details. it's

a rain snow combo, so it breaks down this way about $3.00 to $7.00 centimeters on the ground. you go up to about 300 meters. i think we'll see 10 centimeters stick and we've got whether windy conditions, western france into the low countries. there was quite a valid house system through the strait of gibraltar. that's moved toward the east . we've shaken the showers across siberia. temperatures are coming up, so it's still at 19 degrees. but let's pick up the story where we have that act of weather. so course ago, sardinian central parts of italy, weather alerts in play for thunderstorms and wind. but look toward the east of this across the balkans, full on sunshine, and many spots in the 20s. stilson pesky wet weather for turkey's ne black sea coast that's dropped down the temperature and tribes onto 11 degrees. different story though, for the northeast of africa, look at this cairo 39. i think we'll get you back up to 40 degrees on thursday. wind shift around that drops down to 29 on saturday, which is more line with where you should be. different stories, south africa,

cold air flooding in cape town, 17 degrees with them, showers, but give it a bit. we'll get you up to 27 on saturday. wall to wall sunshine. that's it too soon. ah frank assessments. what are the political risks of batting russian oil? a gas for western leaders will sanctions on russian energy exports. harrison was informed opinions, france is not abandoning to fight against jet, is still resumed the area going to be acting from nisha and from chad critical debate. could china actually help in russia's invasion of ukraine in depth analysis of the days global headlines inside story on al jazeera lou

lou watching al jazeera with me fully by table. a reminder of the main developments in ukraine. the full scale of the killings in the towns of butcher ere pain and bore danica are beginning to emerge. ukraine says more victims of being discovered every day, allegedly tortured, executed and burned. beseech war, city of merrier. pole is still facing heavy fighting and aerial bombardment. 160000 people are trapped there. they have no water, electricity, or medicine. and western powers are planning a series of punishing new sanctions against russia. ukraine surprised them loading me, zalinski totally un security council. they must match the scale of what he called russia's wheel drive's. let's turn our attention to other world news now and shall anchors. government has revoked a state of emergency which came into effect last week. it had been ordered by the

president in response to widespread protests. people are demanding president, go to buy a roger pox a resign citing the worst economic crisis in decades. on tuesday, the governing coalition lawsuit, parliamentary majority, have to at least 40 politicians walked out of the lives. they speak to our correspondent in colombo, me now fernandez me now. so the parliament has met for the 1st time today since president roger pox lost his majority. how did the session go? so that session is still ongoing. the problem is just down the road from here. and you could probably see a little bit of the tension this up. i think just behind me as a group of protests, those are coming to the barricade. the entrance point with believes in get and stuff like that and shorting, they don't get beyond a certain point. now, in parliament, there was obviously a debate. it has shifted from demanding a debate on the emergency because the government,

the president seems to have backtracked and revoked the state of emergency. that is probably because they did not have the votes after losing their majority in parliament yesterday. they backtracked and removed it. so today the speaker, basically in his opening address to the parliamentarians, did say that this crisis, this is just the beginning. he did a lot to the fact that there will be further shortages, even food shortages. and his general message was a parliamentarians need to work together to try and find solutions to this crisis, but a lot of exchangers within the house as they debate this urgent economic crisis with shortages of food and very well a center services, food and medicine. we've seen spontaneous protests mental in the last few days across sri lanka. just remind us of why people are so angry at the compliment

again, it's that crisis that i just referred to that the speaker also talked about. it's the crying shortages that people are facing, whether it's food stuff with its medicine, when they do their cooking gas and where they fuel all things that have skyrocketed in recent weeks by between 30 and 60 percent. obviously not a sri lanka. unique phenomenon that something prices a skyrocketing worldwide with inflation going through the roof, but then shall long have given the fact that we've had such a massive drop in our foreign reserves. there's no foreign currency or little foreign currency to pay for import into this country. pay for those a central foot, their food supplies for fuel. and that has really angered the people because i did the haven't had such a situation for a long, long time. they haven't had to queue up for one packet of milk powder more for cooking, as to wait for days on end, for them to be able to buy a cylinder of gas. and even sometimes those who have the money can secure the

things of that is what's getting them really, really angry today. ah, members of government hospitals, the banking sector are saying that they will join in the protest even during their lunch or but different groups coming together because of this crisis in l. thank you very much for that me now. fernandez is our correspondent in sherlock as capital colombo. israel's government has also lost its majority in parliament after the chair woman announced her resignation. a did sill man a politician within the same right wing party as a prime minister announced his stepping away. the departure pushes the already fragile coalition into further uncertainty. it will now have to rely on support from opposition. parties to pass legislation. israel held for elections in 2 years before securing a coalition government last year. and recent weeks, israel has been on high alert after 11 people were killed in a series of attacks. tensions have continued into the fasting month of ramadan. john hallman has more from occupied his true swim. it's been tension some even

scuffles and a rest here where we are now at the damascus gate. over the last couple of nights since ramadan, the, the muslim holy month begun. you can see here was error israeli security forces and they've actually just been clearing out the area around the gay. you can see more of them the about to come in now and then there are fireworks and things like that. are going off here. 2 around but oh, so there is a tense atmosphere you can see them coming past us now because another model on the other, every year in ramadan we got here on the steps up to evening. prayers. we sit here, happy. we sing, we eat the occupation to, i'd like to see us happy. they come and start to beat us and to beat our mothers and our sisters. it's a shame we saw 3 people being detained. you'll see one in our pitches now,

but in general it's been the quietest night here outside of the damascus gate since ramadan begun. and it seems that neither the israeli government, nor the palestinian leadership are interested in escalating things at this point. but this is an area where muslims, gover after evening prayer in occupied east jerusalem. and it does often become a flash point with israeli security forces. and ramadan still has almost a month until it finishes. we've also the jewish holiday of pass over coming up. so he's writing security forces are going to remain on jaila. human rights watch says, moneys army killed, more than 300 civilians last month with help from foreign fighters. and new reports say that happened in the town of mora in the central part of the country. the marion army says it killed more than $200.00 fighters, but the rascal says civilians were also killed. violence with armed groups has

escalated, as french peacekeepers prepared to leave. it's been a terrible few months in molly, in which armed groups from all different sites, including the islamist as well as the security forces, have engaged in the atrocities. but we said that this was the single worst atrocity that we have documented by any armed group in the last 10 years. but also keep in mind that also during the, the month of march, there were several 100 people allegedly killed by the islamic state affiliate in and around min naca. so again, it's been a deadly, a few months in what is a conflict which has been characterized by massive atrocities against civilians and suspects. nice been 30 years since this thought of the siege of the bosnian capital, sorry, even more than 12000 people were killed in the assault, which lasted nearly 4 years. the longest in modern history, tearing domestic, each has more sorry was city hall, which is behind me is

a symbol of the seas of cerebral because it testifies to the barbaric nature of the serbian forces which held survival under the siege. because when this building was destroyed back in the summer of 1992, it wasn't just the city hall. it was the national library containing more than 2000000 books and manuscripts inside this building. the con conference was held to commemorate 30 years since the beginning of the siege of, sorry, with the siege, which was the longest in the history of modern warfare 3 times more long than the seizure stalingrad during the world war 2. inside the city during the siege, food was course only a 169 grams per day. every citizen of sorrow had during those 4 years. during those 4 years, more than half a 1000000 shells and projectiles fell on the city. there was no safe haven in the city hughes for bread cues, for water accused for humanitarian aid were targeted by the serbian forces which

held the siege. it should also be mentioned that the international criminal tribunal for the former yugoslavia convicted 4 persons for the siege of cerebral among them are radco mileage, the general commander of the bosnian serb army and rather one courage the war time president of republicans subscribe to roost. president andrew castillo has left him a carefully gesture, day after he imposed it was put in place to stop a wave of violent protests against the rising cost of living, demonstrate his or accusing cast here of incompetence and are demanding his resignation. i am sanchez reports from lima. ah, protesters defied a mandatory curfew. president b lucas, the you imposed the measure later monday. full test her say it, it infringed on their freedom. police tried to contain the people's anger. he use dear gas,

as thousands of peruvians demanded custio's resignation. many had come to rally peacefully with children and the elderly, joining the demonstrations, antonio put through his heel. protestant with gusty, you is ousted indigo. indeed, i am so angry. we cannot have this kind of a president, we have to put pressure on him to leave and to leave. now, stores cools and markets remained closed for most of the day, the army was deployed to some districts. little castillo was under pressure and lifted the curfew. 6 hours before it was due to him. oh, the spike and fuel food and fertilizer prices was too much, even for the precedents. former supporters who peruvians, whose hopes were raised when he came to power last year, are now turning their backs on the government. i am the truth is that castillo has to leave because he's inept. this is not a government out with him. oh, the president met lawmakers to find

a solution to the crisis, but left without announcing any plan. oh, the situation is getting more tens in the streets of the capital as the hours go by with protesters throwing rocks at police and police responding with their young. now these are a serious appraisers that began a week ago and many. 2 believe nothing will continue whatever castillo decides to do next. protesters here said they're fed up with a precedent who's not fit to govern. medina, such as i just see that you might be able to clar cambodian our way surrogate mothers say they're being unfairly targeted. surrogacy has been in legal since 2016 and women are being charged with human trafficking activists say by arresting the mothers and not organizes of commercial, sorry, gaseous games. it is forcing the trade in unborn babies underground. tony chang met

one surrogate mother, income body is capital non pen. a mother washes her son in the back yard of a humble home. but look, a little closer will turn the boy has light skin and like his mother, his hair dyed with ink is naturally blonde. the bond between them is tight. they share no genetic roots. his mother was a surrogate. she suspects his genetic parents, a european. but she doesn't know well that her lesson i tell him it is not something i can hate. right. i tell him i did so guess even because i needed money, but i don't know if he's picking me a had me. i guess. no, no. oh no. yeah, but motherhood was unexpected. she tells me. instead of receiving a $10000.00 fee and handing the baby over, she and $31.00 other women were arrested vaughan then says she had unknowingly been part of a commercial surrogacy scheme declared illegal in 2016. when discovered she was

charged with human trafficking and arrested. this is the hospital where 32 surrogate mothers were detained, some for as long as 7 months and only allowed to go home. once they're given birth, the 32 women were charged with trafficking because their unborn children were due to be handed over to couples overseas. the government, however, accepts no responsibility for the children welfare despite the unexpected burden on the mother's pregnancy is not the car that was selling on the babies. it's not our task to responsible for assisting them during that time of raising their own children. campaign is opposing human trafficking, fear that by criminalizing the mothers, rather than the organizers, the trade an unborn babies has just gone under ground. sometimes it can do another country, or that he can warden who went to another county while doing this way. because

because of the government has been working very thick on that, a thought thing that even though now you don't have exactly information about a service in case you haven again and again, it's time for von vin to go to work. she can't afford not to the child to raise her son doesn't want to let it go. but she knows her mother's work is never done. and he's now left to be raised in a very different community. from the one his biological parents had in mind. tony cheng l to 0, cambodia ah, her again, i'm fully rateable with the headlines on al jazeera, the full scale of the killings in the ukrainian towns of butcher air pin and bore a junker are beginning to emerge. key says more victims are being discovered every day, allegedly tortured, executed,

and bet. it's horrible. you see it's just 6 bodies here.
