russian army was immediately accused of. and western media began to repeat the accusations symbol tenuously and without a break for sleepy. it's one of our sales, psychological, self defense. when our ordinary russians do prep the eggs themselves, uh, from what goes absolutely games they believes, what should force them to think about their own leadership? what criminals the nap when you minute every gruesome discovery, a newspaper headline now used to feed the war machine. it could be the blame game aside. there's no real fear that the scenes that we witnessed in boucher will be repeated in other cities across ukraine. cities like ca keep churney murray, opal m wrong con, out 0 cave and resorted eyes also in key for is joining us now. live a sol, you've jess returned from borrow. junker town that's been be taken by ukrainian

was that the destruction scale of the destruction was much more a higher. so in the whole, towards his day when we said to the town, they told us that there are still maybe hundreds of people still beneath is this robert. and unfortunately, the residence of the town also got the pain from sheer, from the destruction because the city has seen one of the fiercest battle between reading him and the russian odyssey to begin most to war. natalia and her husband are finally moving back into their home. you feel like not long ago, there was russian artillery all around here and the scars from the fight him remain only in you at work at home like that up a little example. why? when the russian troops came in, they had to move their entire life into this basement while you're there. they

waited for one long mont, either holly folly, even which got more. and each time they had to emerge together essentials, they put their lives at risk to talk. so a few things on this m. walker, i had to walk out to bring my neighbor melt. then a russian soldier asked me when my husband is. i told him my husband cannot walk, then he says, come out into the road and points a rifle at me and speaks through the radio. the response in the radio was, this is not ha and he left as i will, back to the basement. i was trembling. the ton of bro janica was taken by the russian forces on the 28th of february, the 5th day of the war. as a strategic town that leads to the ukrainian capital cave. it was caught in the crossfire of heavily armed forces from both sides of the russian forces lead this town. the scale of destruction is just now being revealed as it came into bold young have seen many buildings, heavily shelled and called left to see people still remain beneath the rubble. and

well reaching a motive junker is quite difficult on wednesday that the rules are heavily, heavily damaged and also death bridge around the city or the bodies that you leave you to the, to the town are heavily bombed. so this makes it an impossibly difficult because there, as did the reaching the cities is quite difficult. but the rescue operations and humanitarian aid is being a bit late because of this, i did this facilities and the rules and the bodies being born and people the residence or war junker now definitely and desperately needs documentarian aid and did the rescue operations. thank you for that race. so st. our life force there in cave. now, as we mentioned, the sea city of variable is still cut off. the crenan government says as cape quarters and being set up for private vehicles from mcbride,

has this update from living. the besieging forces have such a grip on the city. they also really controlled a lot of the information that we are getting outside of mary paul. the some of the last vision we saw last pictures that we saw distributed on international news agencies was of russian troops patrolling the areas that they control in the city. picking up collecting dead bodies, bodies that appeared to be ukrainian soldiers and also civilians off the street, while both sides blame each other for the lack of humanitarian access and aid getting into the city a president landscape. ukraine has gone further quoted, an interview with turkish major, accusing the russians of deliberately hiding what he says ah, atrocities, war crimes carried out in mary, a pole. that's why he says, as the russians are not allowing access from the outside because they want time to

take the city clean up what he says they have done and remove any evidence of atrocities. now the russians will categorically deny that that any of that has taken place. but it is true that a team from the i c. c, international committee of the red cross that is try to get access was prevented on monday from doing so, was held by russian forces at the town, towards the kilometers outside mario pope, and it was only released yesterday tuesday afternoon to go see ations ukraine's president has told me un security council, he should expel russia or disband, wrote me as a landscape, demanding accountability for what he says is moscow's war crimes in his country. wanting this report from christian salome contains graphic images, viewers may find distressing. ukraine's president addressed the security council on the heels of his visit to boucher vladimir zalinski 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 u. n. system must be reformed immediately so that the right of the veto will not become the rate of death you will at. 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 brothers does good mucus. we are not shooting against civilian targets in order to save as many civilians as possible. very precisely why we're 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. com for 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 is very purpose, is to promote respect for human rights. not only as, as 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 made $74.00, developing nations, particularly vulnerable. we're already seeing some companies move from vulnerability into crisis and signs of city of social unrest. the flames of conflict are fooled by inequality deprivation and then the funding with all the warning sign, the signals flashing grabs. 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. christian salumi al jazeera, the united nation, and still ahead on al jazeera. we'll be looking at some of the days either use and facing a challenge from both sides. francis presidential race is tight and unexpected, and a document considered to be one of the most valuable in the history of science mysteriously reappeared today. ah, there's another weather been coming for eastern australia. hello everyone. here's a detail. so we're getting striped with solid bands of rain, sidney and toward the south, as remember, this area has been inundated and so now we're expecting about another $150.00

be and it was a meeting to discuss the us military's proposed $773000000000.00 budget for the coming year. the largest in the world by far, it was a meeting where developments in ukraine overshadowed those discussions from the leading republican on the committee. 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. an illegal stock pile of chemical and biological weapons, which he hasn't hesitated to use against his perceived enemies. the u. s. is top general mark 1000000 says 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 bars is increasing,

not decreasing. yes. is pledge 14000000000 dollars to the ukrainians and military it important support says the us defense secretary without from congress, we been able to rush security assistance to ukraine to help 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 hooked 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. in other world news, the usa department has approved the potential sale of air defense equipment to taiwan. a pentagon says the deal is valued at up to $95000000.00. it will include training planning and the operation of the system. my cannon has moved from washington. this is a 2nd such agreement in the course of this year regarding patriot missile systems.

this one is. busy worth some $96000000.00 the previous one was in the region of $90000000.00 providing patriot missiles, systems along with training and earth spare parts to tie one. now, what has happened at this particular point is that the state department has signed off on the potential deal. it has gone to congress or sent a letter to congress certifying the deal that it has no objections. now of course, the negotiation process begins, but it's a 3rd such deal under the biden administration since last year. and certainly the previous deals were met with great anger by china, seeing the us as arming its enemy as it sees a tie one. so certainly this latest proposed deal is likely to receive the same sort of reaction, but one must note that the state department says in it certification,

that this is in the us national interests, that these weapons are for defense of capacities. and very importantly, the state department says they would not alter the balance of power in that region . hong kong, 2nd highest official, has resigned john lees expected to join the race to replace chief executive carry. lamb, she announced is not seeking a 2nd term in next month. election, he was in charge of security during filing pro democracy protest in 2019 ensure lanka, members of parliament have met for the 1st time since the governing coalition lost its majority. at least 40 politicians walked out of the alliance on tuesday following the government's failure to reduce food and heal prices. and president go to buy a raja packs every vote. the state of emergency giving him widespread powers to care protests and demands for his resignation. in our fernandez rewards from colombo 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 vote 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. it's the crying shortages that people are facing, whether it's food stuff with its medicine, with their cooking gas, and whether it's fuel, all things that have skyrocketed in recent weeks by between 30 and 60 percent. obviously not a sri lanka. unique phenomenon. it's something prices skyrocketing worldwide with inflation going through the roof, but in sri lanka, 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. the central food, the food supplies for fuel and that has really angered the people because i haven't

had such a situation for a long, long time. they haven't had to queue up for one packet of milk powder or 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. a cache imposed in per on a saw protest against the rising cost of living has lasted just 24 hours. president pedro castillo reversed his decision, as opponents accused him of incompetence and demand his resignation. marianna sanchez reports from lima. ah, protesters to fight a mandatory curfew. president bureau casteel imposed the measure, laid on monday. full testers said it infringed on their freedom. police tried to contain the people's anger. they used dear gases, thousands of peruvians demanded custio's resignation. many had come to rally

peacefully with children and the elderly. joining the demonstrations, antonio put to rest his heel. protestant with gusty, you is ousted indigo indian. 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. bid or castillo was under pressure and lifted the curfew. 6 hours before it was due to n, o, 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. ah, 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 apprentice that began out week ago. 2 melina wilson, to you whatever cost to you decides to do next, protesters here see they're fed up with a precedent who's not fit to govern. medina, such as i just see that lima beetle, human rights watch says molly's army killed more than 300 civilians last month with help from foreign fighters. and you report says it happened in the town of more i and the central part of the country. the marleen army says it killed more than $200.00 fighters, but the rights group says civilians were also killed. violence with arms ropes has escalated us. french peacekeepers prepared to me. now opinion polls in france

suggests the race to become the next president is tightening. emanuel mac wrong remains favorite for reelection, but support for far i candidate mind the pen appears to be growing. and as natasha buckner reports from the northern city of lee, my call is also facing a challenge from the far left. oh, middle school is one of from his best known politicians and fully re orita and former trotsky east. the far left party leaders spend years on the margins of french politics, but middle shoals, fortunes are changing. opinion polls suggest he could make it to the 2nd round of the presidential election at a rally and neil, he said, if elected it end inequality, fight, climate change and tackle the cost of living crisis law junior good in new york, lost millions of french people are being strangled by the rising cost of living and fuel prices, millions of french people. so the role of those you lead the nation is to fix this

war. now so supporters say he's the antithesis of emmanuel, my call. mental shore, once nickname, the president of the rich levels are gone. it's been a difficult 5 years for many people. so as far as i'm concerned, you can't relax to manual michael without me awful. i counted, malone shaw embodies anti capitalism, pro workers, right? we seek a factory shutting and france. we want a strong europe, good and melancholy. the only one with answers set up the disorder. one of the main reasons the loss or is doing so well in this presidential election is because france traditional leveling socialist party is doing bye. for decades, the socialist party was a political force, the created presidents. but the arrival of the sentries macro in 2017 and to shift among voters to the political right has left the socialist party in tatters and his presidential candidate on it. i'll go floundering in the polls. the socialist party

still has local mayers, but on the national level, it has lost in the appeal because it's lost a program. it's lost ideas, it lost the battle of ideas and, and also lawns, presidency is seen in its legacy as a moment of weakness. in terms of ideas, in terms of proposals, in terms of also answers to the problems of globalization offer. or the changes are in the society with most parties on the left, including the green, trailing in the poles. men or shore is expected to reap the majority of left wing votes. few people expect him to win the presidency, but making it past the 1st round could signal that francis left is ready for a revival. natasha butler al jazeera lead. now to priceless diaries have been found in britain after they mysteriously vanished 20 years ago. that librarians at cambridge university say they were overwhelmed at the return of the

in $1837.00 after a trip around the world. more than 2 decades before he published a more fully developed tree of life in his groundbreaking book on the origin of species. i honestly think i'm in the theory of mat reflection and evolution is probably the single most important theory in the life and earth environmental sciences. and this, these are the notebooks in which that harry was put together. the library says to note books are in good condition and haven't been handled much. whoever took them and decided to return them, appears to have looked after them with care. a police investigation into the disappearance of the note books worth many millions of dollars is ongoing. the mystery of darwin's diaries is anything but an open and shut case leave palka al jazeera ah
