1:11 pm
that any of that is taking place, abbey. but it is true that a team from the i c asi, 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, at that town 20 kilometers outside mario pro. and it was only released yesterday tuesday after negotiations. okay. the eastern ukrainian city show kings has also come under heavy russian artillery fire throughout the war. ukrainian forces pushed the russians out on march the 12th, but the city which is sets of hockey continues to be bombed, when it speak not who asset vague. who's back in hockey and you're back there because you were in the show heave earlier on i said just talk us through what's been happening in both those places. well, we're, i'm right, and i just gave us the 2nd largest city in ukraine. had a population of 1400000 that's been drastically reduced because many people have left. now this city is about 50 kilometers from the russian border. and right now, if you speak to authorities here, they feel that they've had
1:12 pm
a really tough time from the russians constant need pounding to city. that areas of the city that have been completely decimated where people are living in basement, that fear of constant shilling from the russians. as i said, that this city is 50 kilometers away from the russians. and the fear from the military hill is the person that we've spoken to is that the russians are preparing for a new offensive. and that's me reiterated by the head of the general stuff of the armed forces. now he says that the russians are preparing to establish an offensive, just stablish full control of the done. it's and new hands regions. and the fear is that they will mind to new offensive hair and car thief and work this way down the country and read the full book their way up and that we were into here yesterday. now the russians of 40 of the, on the 12th of march, now they've been constantly pounding dot towns. now everywhere we went, all the residential properties that we saw. so many had been hit. a lot of the ordinance had been found in those houses. and in those gardens,
1:13 pm
we went out with the rapid response de mining team in to, to have to follow them and follow the work that they do. stepping into the unknown as he does every day. this time, it's a rocket in a living room. 42 year old you heard of cherokee works as part of her gives rapid response. the mining team boy and the sub wyatt since the west. but sometimes we have 50 calls a day, sometimes 70 sometimes 100. we have 4 gays to cover the whole area and they're always new requests coming in from a there's something in the garden little, it's an unexploded cluster, munitions, of all ye hoard picks it up with his bare hands and just walked away. was one of

1:15 pm
off my wallet. as go his go, his go. this is a constant threat they face. will she be of her buses here? lesson especially where but it was no motor with of course i'm skid. this is war all ordinances dangerous for up ordinance cannot be safe. rule is created to strike infantry and light armand vehicles. it cannot be sold them, especially for civilians. actual, every part of this town seems to have some sort of damage. these men's task is relentless. the russians continued to fire into populated areas, and they're faced with things like this on a daily basis. i said, beg, i'll dedira to we if erase president told the un security council, it should expel russia or despond. let him as zalinski is demanding accountability for what he says is moscow's war crimes in his country. again, let me give you a warning. this report from kristen salumi contains graphic images that some
1:16 pm
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 un system must be reformed immediately, so that the right of the veto will not become the right of death. you will, 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
1:17 pm
brothers does go mucus. 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. 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 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're already seeing some countries move from
1:18 pm
vulnerability into crisis and signs of serious social unrest. the flames of conflict are fooled by inequality deprivation and then the fundings. 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. kristin salumi al jazeera, the united nations. okay, let's go over the dos as you body who's in moscow, forrest door. so we can forget a font that negotiations are still going on to some degree between the sides and this word of things stand on those tools. well, those talks are continuing on a daily basis and in the video conference format between the 2 sides,
1:19 pm
and we've been hearing from the kremlin spokesperson dmitri pess. gov, who said earlier on wednesday that the withdrawal of a russian forces from the areas around the ukrainian capital are a sign of good will aim to add to creating favourable conditions in those talks. and he also urge the ukrainian president law. we're zalinski to accept the conditions that have been set by the russians in order to try and end the conflict as quickly as possible. of course, those conditions that the russians have said are a tall order, and b, ukrainian president has said that there are a lot of things that they need to discuss at. but the russians want the ukrainians to have a neutral status. meaning they don't have any at foreign military presence under soil, and they also have to give up the idea of joining any member any blocks, including nato. and the also wanting to discuss the future of vac crimea, which russia annexed in 2014. and of course, those regions in eastern ukraine and mainly danielle and lou ganske at these are
1:20 pm
the issues that are on the table. and they're still discussing. but of course, their reality on the ground at that has developed over the past 40 hours as the ukrainian has it, who said it's made it very difficult to sit across from the russians and trying to come up with any kind of a possible ceasefire. the russian officials here for their part have said that at the images that are coming out of boucher and the other cities around the ukrainian capital are a monstrous forgery according to the kremlin. and that they are aimed at smearing of their russian position. and the image in terms of the international community. we've also heard from the russian foreign minister survey lover of who had said earlier this week that had the video that as emerge from that town, a boucher is a fake. and that did stage all with the aim of trying to discredit the russian image and that their point of view when it comes to their version of the events of this conflict. this is certainly an important moment for the russians because they
1:21 pm
have had a lot of consequences as a result of the news out of those towns around the capital that to the russian forces have now left. and we've also been hearing from the, one of the russian deputy foreign ministers, alexander bruce, go. who said that the russians are still interested in maintaining diplomatic relations with the west. but over the past 48 hours, over 200 russian diplomats have been expelled from a number of european countries. and this is just another, a sign that, that the situation continues. and the russians are seeing the consequences of their actions. and they've said that they will reciprocate those measures when it comes to their diplomats being expelled. but this is much broader now because the isolation that this countries facing is continuing to grow on a daily basis. dorsal. thank you very much. doors was about to bring us up to date from moscow. washington's announced an additional $100000000.00 in military aid to
1:22 pm
ukraine. top u. s. general says the world's a more dangerous place because of the russian invasion. i'll official 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 where developments in ukraine overshadowed those discussions from the leading republican on the committee. an attack on the russian president 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 top general mark milly insist the actions by russia and the growth in the chinese military has in his view, made the world a more dangerous place. we are entering
1:23 pm
a world that is becoming more unstable and the potential for significant international conflict between great bowers is increasing, not decreasing. yes, is pledged $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 and ukraine. allen fisher al jazeera on capitol hill, where ukraine's president saw the irish parliament he can't tolerate any indecision about sanctions on russia. in a video just a dublin vladimir lens,
1:24 pm
he said some leaders are more concerned with business losses than with war crimes. islands, prime minister says he'll push for the strongest possible e u sanctions, and that vladimir putin can't succeed. when a number of meetings are taking place in europe, where sanctions are being discussed, dominic cane is lifeless. in berlin. we must be getting to the point dominic, where we're beginning to wonder, what are the sanctions that you can impose the further sanctions they can impose in the minds of some people would be complete benz on russian oil, coal. and most importantly, at least in this country, gas so far, at least russian gas has not been embargoed. there's no ban on it. which is good news from the perspective of some e, you states, specifically the german and the austrian government. we know that in austria, there is deep resistance to this suggestion. the russian gas be switched off
1:25 pm
immediately because of the effect it would have on the austrian economy. and it must be said, the same sort of sentiment can be found here in germany too. we know that the german government has talked about intensifying sanctions wherever possible. and yet, finance minister here, christian lintner of the free democrats, a liberal party is said he would love to impose all sorts of embargoes on russian fossil fuels. but it cannot be done in so far as gas is concerned, because of the effect it would have. now. the interesting thing is that in strasbourg, when the european parliament was meeting and was being spoken to by the president of the european council, this shot me shed. and by the presence of the european commission, of course, that's ursula funder lion. while president michelle said to members of parliament that it will soon be time for the e. you to contemplate banning russian gas, some sort of sanctions embargo on russian gas. that was not something that
1:26 pm
president funder lion touched upon, but she said this morning to members of the european parliament that this sanctions that are now being posed on coal. well, they won't be the last ones. let me ask you about germany's situation as far as the energy is concerned, because what germany is, as you just saying there, germany is in a very significant position because it takes so much and has so much reliance on russian energy longer town. is there any effort being made to try to readjust germany's reliance on that? i know that chancellor all of shots is expected to take questions later. yes. he's to, to speak in the course of the next hour or so. and it's clear that he has to, in some way, touch upon what exactly it is this government wants to do to try to not just wean germany off a dependency on russian gas,
1:27 pm
but radically to change the whole system of energy supply where it comes from how it's used whether that's done in a way that's renewable or whether that stick sticks with fossil fuels. the interesting thing here is not only in germany, but also it must be said of the e you level when we know the e. u is sad in the course of the last month or so that it has decided to reduce its share of russian gas that it uses by 2 thirds in the course of this calendar year. the ease solution is by getting in liquid natural gas shipped in from other countries, not from russia. that could be from the state of qatar that could be from the united states, from australia. but it's also prioritizing renewable sources of energy, something called green hydrogen, and other forms of renewable energy to try and make up for the shortfall. that's the ease solution. the german solution is relatively similar. so we know that the chancellor announced shortly after the start of the war in ukraine,
1:28 pm
launched by the russians in the year of the german government that they would build, the government would build 2 liquid natural gas terminals as quickly as possible pouring money into it. we know the german government assigned deals with the state of qatar to receive liquid natural gas, but that's only to a certain extent dealing with part of the problem. the reality is how do they deal with the vast amounts of gas that come in? well, again, the suggestion here is rapidly to diversify into renewables and also something that was difficult for this government to slow down. the move away from coal, germany is good to be using a great deal more coal than its environmentally minded ministers. would want it to be doing, but they believe that they have to do that now because it's part of the realistic way of getting away from russian gas. at the point here is russian gas,
1:29 pm
the counted for 55 percent of all gas imports in this country last year, and 40 percent of all gas imports in the 1st quarter of this year. that shows you the size of the task di, thank you very much. indeed, obviously we're going to be waiting for that, that question and answer session that all of schoultz the chancellor is going to be holding in the coming hours. but for now don't like thank you very much indeed. so head on this, i'll just hear the news are in other news, high alert in israel, a number of attacks put security forces on edge during the fostering month of ramadan. and later in sports level, fall in the box feature routes. the champions leagues we finals ah it's wednesday,
1:30 pm

. ah ah ah ah ah ah what you know the 0 reminder of our top stories this are the full scale of killings in the cranium. tons of boucher at a pin and but a junker are beginning to emerge. keith says more victims are being discovered every day, allegedly tortured, executed and burned. the horn city of maria paul is still facing heavy fighting and
1:33 pm
aerial bombardment. 160000 people are trapped that good no water, electricity of medicine. western powers of planning a series of punishing new sanctions against russia, ukraine's president of leukemia zalinski has told the un security council and the must match the scale of what he's calling in russia's war. crimes with international criminal court is investigating as possible war crimes in ukraine by all sides. the i says he's the only international court that can prosecute individuals for serious crimes, including genocide on war crimes. in 2006, it gave its 1st warning against thomas longer found guilty of war crimes and democratic republic of congo. other high profile cases include cipher islam, the son of late libyan leader, mormon gadhafi band. the latest to be tried. is that a home with ali accused of dozens of war crimes ensued, duns doth, for region. the icpc, however, is not recognized by the us and russia pulled its support in 26. will toby cabman
1:34 pm
joining us now from london? he's a human rights lawyer and he's an international criminal court specialist. good to happy with us, and i'll just to thank you very much. indeed. i lot of countries don't recognize the rulings of the i c. c. how effective is it? good morning. thank you. yes. so there are a number of countries, russia being one of them, doesn't recognize the jurisdiction and as not signed up to the clinical. i mean, it is an important institution because it's, it's permanent in special criminal court, has been handed by lack of funding. it has been handed by lack of cooperation by states. so we had the situation previously with last year sudan who was indicted genocide and was not handed over. so he has had difficulties in establishing its legitimacy and being able to go off to the right kind of suspects
1:35 pm
that we have a new new prosecutor who has taken a very strong position all the situation ukraine. and we have to make sure that the cc is given the support and the funding so that he can do his job history as shown as the process of creating a case. building a case and then seeing it through the prosecution is a very, very long process. our defendants as fearful of prosecution, as prosecutors might hope they would be it does take a long time. what we've seen with the instructor tribunals and also with the tribunals neuron to tribunal and i would cc, unfortunately, the case a very complex to require a great deal of effort conducting investigations. ensuring difference is strong enough here to trial. but i think once we have seen is that once they do go to trial, then held accountable. i think it's only through supporting the
1:36 pm
process that we can establish already set to terrance, so that people are fearful all of the indicted ident, with yet certainly what we're seeing with the unprecedented support, all 40 states. i'm supporting investigation in your brain. i think what we are seeing a watershed moment, we are seeing a change in position that we just have to have it resolves in case of being brought and the senior leadership off the russian federation and being held accountable for what is very clearly for crimes and carmen, vanity, they're having allegations made against the i. c. c. in recent years that has been pursuing cases, predominant against leaders within african nations is in many ways simply because they're easier and it's less than susie asked about pursuing cases with region act . is there any confidence that the i, c, c would be able to pursue a case against,
1:37 pm
say, russia or ukraine, or anybody else who's connected with the ukranian war in terms of war crimes. but i'm also one of those that has made those same criticisms. and then secondly, the difficulty is that, that they had pursued a number of cases in relation to complex nafrica, not saying that they shouldn't, but of course they should, but they also need to look it conflicts outside of that. that need to look at situations in countries like venezuela, columbia, syria, yemen, way, way they can establish jurisdiction and of course, the situation of palestine. i think that what we are seeing is a very strong position being been adopted by the the i c c prosecutor the what we must not forget is that the i c, c is not going to be able to deal with the phillips then oper, chrysler crane, most of this is gonna fall on to you training prosecutors investigating prosecuting domestically and we've got to think central community. we've got
1:38 pm
a cold ukraine and authorities in dealing with this. cuz this is something that we're going to have to do with for years to come. and very briefly, there was a point jack during the jump administration for the administration brought sanctions against members of the i, c. c. because the i, c, c had opened an investigation into u. s. allegations of war crimes or allegations of u. s. war crimes in afghanistan. do you think that there is a risk to that sets a precedent that other countries might take a similar set of approach to avoid being at being how do the i c c, very brief. if you don't mind. certainly, i think that they can set a dangerous precedent for, for long term administration did, but obviously we're looking at a very different administration in biden, with just now got a new war crimes ambassador has been appointed that fun shock who is taking a very strong position on ukraine identity on the states who all parties to the room statue signed off at c, c, a fall in that kind of actually in the country that it is a bold that of dictatorships toby cabin. we appreciate you as always joining us.
1:39 pm

1:46 pm
says the but we're, we're targeted in violent attacks in the past 3 years in eastern democratic republic of congo, the gods that are accused of killing at least 20 battle and cozy via gun national park. the face allegations of raping at least 15 women and forcing hundreds out of their homes by burning villages, reports as the german and u. s. government knew about threats to the community in 2019, but they continued to fund the park. well, it's bringing robert from a fellow in berlin. he's a lead investigator and author of the report from minority rights group international very good to have you with us or on al jazeera and little bit of background if you don't mind 1st, why did the pok authorities apparently want about one of the land? so this is a point that was said on, on land that belong to the bachelor community originally and thank you for having me on the community was expelled from the park originally in the mid 1970 s with the expansion of the bar and lived for decades and sort of conditions over
1:47 pm
marginalization and impoverishment in 2018, made the decision to return to the art now that flew in the face of the approach to conservation, enshrined in this park, which is a sort of fortress model that imagines that the preservation of biodiversity is incompatible with the presence of communities and thus the decision was made to organize attacks in which entire villages were burned to the ground. and but while we're terrorized out or again in waves of violence, terrific violence, we documented report. i want to come to, to the events that you've been documenting themselves, but it was there ever any indication of an effort made to negotiate with about while after they've moved back into the park? well, there certainly has been little live service efforts to negotiate the park. but in point, in fact, what there is in his 1st and foremost decades of promises that were made and broken, promises resettlement promises of reparations and so forth. and 2nd of all, a sort of strategy of using the violence to force the into a posture within which they have to accept living outside of the part. so put
1:48 pm
simply no serious effort to negotiate with the community. if i understand correctly, this has been going on for about 3 years. i think you said that it began in about 2019 in the report. why did it take so long for it to come to public attention? was it sort of amazing? i mean, in my judgement, i think part of the reason is, is that there is no question that the planetary crises sort of the climate crisis, bio diversity launch are so serious. and anybody wants to engage in efforts to combat those crises and do something constructive about them is regarded as doing something fundamentally good. you know, the sort of people can do no evil. i think that this particular approach to combating those prices a violent, militarized, rigidly neo colonial approach and violently expel and communities from areas that are supposed to be protected, supposed to be on people. wilderness is really sort of ugly tool in the tool kit.
1:49 pm
but because it's, you know, sort of outfits like wildlife conservation, society, governments talking about combating bio diversity and so forth. people imagine that, you know, all we're doing is sort of protecting gorillas and, and wild spaces. you know, it's, imagine that such actors can do no. yeah, i would imagine that with many of these situations it's difficult to get information. what kind of evidence were you able to collect? how did you manage to get hold of the stories that you based, your reports on? well, that's one of the most interesting aspects. i mean, i'm an investigative journalist and you know, circumstances where you can rely on hundreds of eyewitness sources. you know, that's really strong corroboration. but in this report, it wasn't just hundreds of wicked sources. we actually visited the villages days after their destruction while they are still smoldering, collected the shell casing from the weapons that were used outside machine guns. automatic rifles collected the munitions boxes from heavy weapons that were used to show the village of 60 millimeter mortars. our p, jeez,
