that was recently re taken by ukrainian forces from the russians. what did you see when you were there? well, let's zia russian forces are withdrew him from the norton origins of kia that, that the scale of the destruction is becoming more and more apparent and avid. and so we, you went to add the town up for the anchor. the difference in board the anchor and the butcher. is that in bootstrap there were mass killings and civilians, beans, exec, who'd a shot in their hands. and did that bodies thrown to the states in both the uncle of heaven seemed a mass killings or that that bodies laying down in the streets. however, the scale of the destruction was beyond the imagination. the whole infrastructure of the city is destroyed. there that the roads are or damage dead, the bridge heart warmed and we, we could see that the gold mantle buildings the residential areas are severely shelled and menu of the buildings as completely are collapsed there. and the,

the war that the battle between the russian forces and he reinforces in that town, continued for all were more than a mom and the civilians, the residence in the town will. so got dear, a painful a share of this battle. natalia and her husband are finally moving back into their home when you saw me not long ago, there was russian artillery all around here and the scars from the fightin remain only in you will get him back up a little example. i went, the russian troops came in, they had to move their entire life into this basement while they're there, waiters for one longmont, you know, holly folly, you know, which got more. and each time they had to emerge together essentials, they put their lives at risk to talk. associates is on this m walker. i had to walk

out to bring my neighbor milk than a russian soldier or asked me where 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 on the radio was this is not ha and he left. as i walked back to the basement, i was trembling with the town of bro junker was taken by the russian forces on the 28th of february, the 50 off the war as a strategic town that leads to the ukrainian capital keith, it was caught in the crossfire of heavier armed forces from both sides. oh you are you thought of the russian forces left this town. the scale of destruction is just now being revealed. as they came into ball junko, have seen many buildings heavily shelled, and the court loves or taught to see people still remain beneath the rubble and the residence we have spoken to say they have lived in terror. svetlana is one of many who lost loved ones in this town. the night her neighbor's house was attacked,

her brother died. v, atlanta tells us he was scared to death. but had lazopoulos albany, you insoluble in manila yesterday. my brother was paralyzed on the 22nd of march. the neighbor's house exploded me had a heart attack and died. it was, it would be below the risk of having a proper funeral was too great that people had to bury the dead in their backyard splashes over. i mean them, are you look, this is my neighbor, his family is not here, but he was shot. and this is where he was buried because she takes us to the makeshift gray wolf, her brother, the atlanta says, now she must give her brother a proper burial. but as she agrees his loss, she also faces an uncertain future. well the as if there are the concerns that steal there are many people remained beneath their rivals. that rescue operations are at this point quite important. and that people residence

in the town of both young code, also in a dire need of the essentials like water, food, and electricity. but as the bridge that connects the breast of ukraine to this town, and that was, that leads to this town are heavily bombed and shelled and damaged at the did. the rescue operations are continued very much slowly and also the humanitarian eagle sees in a difficult position as the access to ward the anchor is, is, is quite difficult because of this facilities a been being destroyed. however, the residence there occur when i was smoking to them, many of them were asking for the bread and as says like water and so on. so it is an immediate need that the rescue oppressions, how would go wrong way and also to humanitarian 8th reach to the city at this point, that's wrestle said are in keep bringing us up to date with what's been happening

in the town of bottle jenkins. while the eastern ukrainian city of to him has come under heavy russian artillery far throughout the war, ukrainian forces pushed the russians out of march, the 12th. but the city which is south of khaki continues to be bombed, that speak to us, had begun out who's in khaki. and i said, you're backing khaki. but you have been to show have just bring us up to date with what's been happening in both cities. willing to have the russians were pushed out in the 12th of march, as you said, now there's some intense fighting around there. but what's continue to happen is that the russians of continue to pound that city with artillery shells and also as strikes and many residents are leaving. we met a family yesterday who was saying good bye. there is a husband and wife and child saying good bye to the father and setting off and i was asking them where are you going? and they said, we're just going west. you don't know where we're going. we don't know where we're going to stay, but we need to get away because the feeling is that the russians are recruiting

them, the getting ready for a new offensive that will essentially push forward on the time and try to retake it elsewhere here and forgive the shutting has continued and heavy artillery, we hear it all the time, day and night. and the feeding gives amongst the military here. the again, the russians are regrouping and they're getting ready for an offensive nav. the general stuff of the on forces of the ukraine has said that they feel that the russia would make an effort to take control of, of the entire desk and hands greens that east of the country. it is also a feeling rushing for soon to stop pushing north from some parts of the country and then stop pushing down and try to in circles the ukrainian military. now if that happens, that would be very difficult for the u. k. military, there will be cut off in the east, but the feeling is that the fighting can easter will get more intense. now, yesterday we followed the rapid response, the mining team, as they went to, to have to deal that some of those ordinances left over after russian attacks

stepping into the unknown as he does every day. this time, it's a rocket in the living room. 42 year old you her after rock works, as part of her gives rapid response. the mining team boy, but the subway, it seems it was for sometimes we are 50 calls a day, sometimes 70, sometimes a 100. we have 4 brigades that cover the whole area and they're always new requests coming in with us on from home. there's something in the garden, it's an unexploded cluster, munitions of them all. he hold picks it up with his bare hands and just walks away . was on ms. umbrella. mm hm. um oh, can you please check if it's still there? says the resident. jonathan, it's a while almost at all. if i said, well,

i saw it. no, there's nothing here. it's exploded already. look the to the parts of the shrapnel . this is just the wings. there's nothing else left. this is where it exploded. can you see the impact area without society come on? every day they have a list they worked through, but the list is never ending because the russians keep pounding this town. there's a fear, rush and forces we make a push for it soon. and as they work, thought a jet streaks, low overhead with there was a plane in the plate of a hat. that's not far from where we are listening. let's go his go, his go. this is the constant threat they face

lucy river basil it's and especially where but it was no modem with of of course i'm skid. this is war is all ordinance is dangerous but of 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 on 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 do. there are 2 years. well, as we mentioned, mario paul is still cut off the cranium. government says escape corridors have been set up for private vehicles. robin bryan has this update from live. the besieging forces have such a grip on the city. they also really control a lot of the information that we are getting outside of mary you, paul, of the, some of the last, the vision we saw last pictures that we saw

a distributed on international and youth news agencies was of russian troops patrolling the areas that they control in the city, picking up collecting dead bodies, bodies of that appeared to be ukrainian soldiers and also civilians. i'm off the street will while both sides blame each other for the lack of humanitarian access and aid getting into the city. a president zalinski of ukraine has gone further quoted in an interview with turkish media, accusing the russians of deliberately hiding what he says are atrocities war crimes carried out in mary apple. that's why he says that the russians are not allowing access from at the outside because they want time to take the city clean up what he says they have done and remove any evidence of, of atrocities. now the russians will categorically deny that, that any of that has taken place. but it is true that the 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 the town 20 kilometers outside mario pro. and it was only released yesterday tuesday after negotiations. ok, let's go live to moscow and door such about it. we can't forget dos, under course negotiations are still going on throughout all of this, and just talk us through where things stand on those. well, despite what is happening on the ground, to add between the 2 sides to the as spokesperson for the kremlin dmitri pest. gov at said earlier on wednesday that the talks continue, but there's still a lot of work that needs to be done and it's a long road ahead. and he's referring to the negotiations that have been ongoing between ukrainian at representatives from the government bear as well as the russian side. here they are now discussing the finer points of a possible agreement to come down the line of via video conference. they met 3 times in person and they've decided to take the format to

a video conference one because it's much easier, logistically, according to the kremlin, the talks are ongoing, but they're still a long way to go before they are able to reach any kind of a consensus ad, but according to dmitri pess, gov and the russian military has left certain towns around the ukrainian capital. key of this is a good will gesture, according to him to try and really provide and much more positive atmosphere for those talks that are ongoing. p also urge the ukranian president to accept the as conditions that have been set by russia in order to move at this process much more forward and faster. according to the russians, things are going very slowly and they believe it is because the ukrainians are not responding quickly enough to their demands. of course, some of those demands include, for the ukranian government to recognize crimea, which russia annexed in 2014. as part of russia, as well as recognizing the independence of a, those as it regions in eastern ukraine, including lou ganske,

antoinette ad. beside from that, the kremlin also said that they are very much in favor of having a fair independence and transparent investigation into the events that unfolded in boucher, according to the russians. as they believed that the video footage that has been released is been, has been staged. and the kremlin also believes that this is one of the reasons that those discussions between the 2 sides are really not moving as fast as they should . because this a video that has come out is yet according to them, another attempt to try and to rail the talks that have been ongoing. but the russians have been adamant since monday that they had nothing to do with the events that unfolded. and they have accused the ukrainian government putting forth fake footage and that is the line that has come out of here. as we've also heard that from the russian form mr. survey leverage. who said that the events in boucher were staged. da, so thank you very much. indeed, that's doors as your body in moscow,

russian politician vladimir said an oscar has died age 75, but i doing populace leader passed away after covered 19 complications. didn't oscar, who stood in every elections as the collapse of the soviet union that he was known for altercations in the legislative assembly. it reputation for his anti american speeches, as well as his nationalists and often anti semitic comments. the more head of the news are including facing a challenge from both sides. frances presidential race is tighter than expected. ah. defiance in peru, protest as ignore a curfew in demand, the president resigned and in sports tiger woods remains confident of making a comeback at the 1st gulf major of the year. ah. but none of us was former president bicycle powder has been sentenced to life in

prison, called body has been found guilty of complicity in the murder of his predecessor, thomas sanker. sanker was killed with 12 others in a qu, in 1987 on bodies in exile in neighboring ivory coast. or nicholas hack as follows . developments from dakar in senegal. just talk us through the significance of this sentencing. oh, rob. there was chairs and celebration, as the verdict was announced by the judge, not just in the courtroom, but outside and throughout west africa. why it will? because thomas zunker was in just the president of burkina faso. he was an icon for many in french speaking africa because he represented a break from the past. and he wanted a change of relationship with international actors in france, the former colonial power. and it's perhaps the circumstances of his death that led him to this icon like figure he was that shake of our, of africa as it's, he's referred to here. so this is what this trial was set to answer,

who was responsible for his death. and the judge to say, well, it's one of his clothes, his allies is friend. bless compo, hey, who was in power for the almost for the last 35 for much of the last 35 years. and that's why perhaps that trial has been so long in the waiting, but what the judges do not say they have sentence bless, compose the for president of brick, enough us so to life imprisonment. when it doesn't say is whether any outside forces such as friends, were perhaps involved in the murder of thomas sanker. but it is certainly a victory for the rule of law. and that's what you've got so many people out on the streets, rob, many of them that weren't even born when this murder to it took place. let me just give you a coat of to a sancho. just to give you an idea of what, what he was like, he said, we must choose between champagne for a few or safe drinking water. for all. he wanted self sufficiency for his country

in a break with a relationship with international donors and france. the former colonial power, and he was a young captain of the burkina faso army, and that's why we're seeing so many young people celebrating the outcome of this verdict. rob nick, thank you very much. indeed. nicholas hock, talking to us from a docket in senegal. i want to bring in brian peterson, he's a professor of history union college in new york. i'm an author of a biography and tell me sancho, he's joining us from albany city. i could help you with a certain knowledge 0. now why they regarded as a victory of the rule of law and book, you know, foster, according to what nick was telling us is not how you see it. you know, i mean, i think it's, it's just great news of the trial was completed. i mean it's, it's important for the people routine, faso. it's important for people around the world who followed the story for some 35 years in the whole process started many years ago. i mean, when, when blaze compartments don't power,

the investigation really went nowhere. so wasn't so he was actually overthrown in a positive insurrection. in october 2014 the investigation really got going in since then, you've had to coup d'etat 12016 when most recently, january of this year. you've had 2 democratic elections. you got an ongoing ward, insurgency, massive refugee crisis. pandemic are. and, and even efforts by comparing to do derail to trial, and d, c, one of the country. so you know, the fact that for kina, fossa was able to follow through on this trial is just quite remarkable. and, and i think it says it sent a signal to the rest of africa that said, the kind of precedent that had to state who engage in such criminal activity should be brought to justice. you did detailing, there are some of the changes and things that have happened to begin a far so since this is 2014 i since the death of thomas sanker, but in terms of for the people of booking, foster themselves was changed with the death of son cra, i mean, the death of san kara was,

was an epic tragedy for many people in 13 of faso. and he really changed politics significantly. it was a different era in africa during the 19091980 was rather bleak era. and so he offered hope you offered ideas of self reliance he was taking on the french, he was trying to, and french neo colonial control was trying to end corruption. he was trying to bring good governance back into the country. and so when he was killed, that was ended, the revolution ended with the death thomas on kara. and so corruption return, neo colonial control returned impunity return. and so back to business usual with regard to this and this involvement of this, the allegations that have been made, the foreign powers may have been involved in all this. is there any likelihood you say that there is going to be any further investigation into for if any involvement there could be? no. do you think this essentially just draw a line under it?

i think that, you know, yeah, through the, through the process we didn't learn a whole lot about the role of foreign powers in his coo and to be clear, mean france, cookie bar and others did play important roles in the, to the over through san car. it wasn't actually military in terms of the operation, but certainly a level of intelligence and economic pressure and things of that nature. france did not provide the documents that it promised it would when macro and me, that big promise in 2017 university wanted to give me ring african countries like o t r like to go also did not provide archival documentation. so i think there's a lot still to be done in terms of unraveling this whole thread and understanding the roles that foreign power powers played in the photos and exile and ivory coast . what do you think the chances are that he is actually going to be returned to between fossil are in any way it will be held actually responsible for me to say serve a sentence if you like that he's facing?

yeah, i mean for this reason, i mean i do think that the justice was only partly serv. i mean, blaze compar on others like yes and perfecto. they, they didn't, they were sent to life as you mentioned, but they won't actually go to prison. right. so they're hiding out and caught you are the probably remain there. i'm others like jim today. i mean he's been sense like he's already actually in prison. there are others, a jump. your palmer been sentenced to lighter senses. it remains to be seen. but my guess is that the boys comprise in a live out the rest of the days in coating are along with tra, fonda and i should mentioned that the 2 men were actually responsible, murderous, and not being sunny. and we do mica. they're already died. right? so those who actually killed on car escape justice the so it's but the but the verb is important. symbolic sense. nevertheless, we really appreciate you giving us the benefit of your expertise in this brian peterson. thank you very much indeed for being with us on here. thank you so much. india sweltering under a heat wave,

ah ah, you want your 0 reminder of our top stories? this are the full scale of killings and destruction in the ukranian tons of gucia. your pin and boom junk are beginning to emerge. keith says more victims are being discovered every day, allegedly tortured, executed, and burned. the port city of mario paul, still facing having fighting an aerial bombardment, a 160000 people are trapped with good no water electricity, old medicine, a former president of burkina, faso bass from body has been sentenced to life in prison for involvement in the murder of his predecessor, thomas sanker and 12 others died during your crew in 1987 comp. audrey soon it was an excellent ivory coast, was tried in his absence. russia and ukraine are accusing each other of laying minds to ships in the black sea. and boss was in turkey,

a certain cassiano reports mister bold. the threat could effect global trade. with spikes, a large metal ball floats in a stumbles boss. first rate. it's a c mine. built by the former soviet union. turkish commandos approached it carefully. the t, you will diffuse the device and then remove it. is the 2nd time in 3 days, turkish fishermen have found a mine like this in their waters. last week, russia's main intelligence agency said 420 floating minds had drifted into the black sea after breaking off from cables near ukrainian port because of a storm. he crane denied these claims. it says russia planted the mines with as mute, so hostile a former turkish rear admiral to her judge. it says the ties and the wind are diverting the minds towards the stumble. he plays the minds belong to ukraine, vis or cove shoot. it would be illogical for russia to mine ports in odessa, where it's aiming for a military landing. why would they shoot themselves?

also, if these minds broke off so easily, it means the mining wasn't done properly. that makes one think the minds were left to float free in the black sea. international law allows states to lay sea minds in their waters to protect themselves from attack. but allowing mines to flow into international waters is illegal. look up deliciously lit that the un should be questioning ukraine. turkey has a strong capacity to sweep the mind, but this is an irresponsible roger, i think that is no matter who was responsible for the mines. they now pause a serious risk to local fishermen like shahan, who have been taught not the fish at night. shine says when turkey diffused the mines in the sea last week, the explosion hit like an earthquake. yeah, good. i'm a sick when miner is volatile. if you don't see the mind, then you explode, you'd done, but i'm only a slight contact is enough to do it. night fishing is banned. now. thank god at the

end of the season. but if we were in peak season in the scenario would be different . we're expecting many more minds to drift by here in a month or so. the black sea is the major shipping out for green oil and all products turkish rates are the on the waterways trying get to the mediterranean and the agencies. 38000 vessels passed through the strait of his stumble last year. any interruption or risk in this region could disrupt the global supply chain. at the same, it is not clear who is responsible for these mines, or how many of them are floating out there, posing a threat to people, and maria, alive on last, these questions are answered. it may take years to spot and disabled these explosive devices in the black c. c nam castillo al jazeera, assemble a report from the minority rights group. international organization has accused congolese guards and soldiers of killing or raping indigenous. but what people, it says the battle were targeted and violent attacks in the past 3 years in eastern

democratic republic of congo. the guards are accused of killing at least 20, but or unco, who's a big or national park. they face allegations of raping at least 15 women, enforcing hundreds out of their homes by burning villages. the report says the german and u. s. government knew about the threats to the community in 2019, but the continued to fund the park. robert from a felt as the reports author, and he says numerous communities were wiped off. the face of the of the community was expelled from the park. originally in the mid 1970 s, with the expansion of the park, and lived for decades and sort of conditions of marginalization in impoverishment in 2018, made the decision to return to the park. now that flew in the face of the approach to conservation and trying in this park, which is a sort of fortress models that imagine that the preservation of bio diversity is incompatible with the presence of communities. and thus the decision was made to organize attacks in which entire villages referred to the ground and by 12 were

terrorized. again in waves of violence, i'm an invest because journalists and you know circumstances where you can rely on hundreds divided whitney sources. you know, that's really strong corroboration, but in this report it wasn't just hundreds of by with resources. we actually visited the villages days after their destruction, while they're still smoldering, collected the shell casing from the weapons that were you felt said machine gun automatic rifles collected the munitions boxes from heavy weapons that were used to show the building to 60 millimeter mortars. our p, jeez, saw articles of blood stated clothing, still dry and under the sun visited the freshly dug grace. so basically collected a preponderance of physical evidence, demonstrating that billet numerous villages inhabited by hundreds of the community members were literally wiped off the face of the earth. and bottle were targeted, killed i witnessed to describe people being killed while the execution style with bayonets and rifles. one family members were made to watch corpses being mutilated

in her epic waste as part of a policy of attempting to terrorize with unity to stay off of their land. human rights watch says, moneys army killed, more than $300.00 civilians last month with help from foreign fighters at a ford says it happened in the town of murder in the central part of the country. the modern army says it kills more than 200 fighters, but the rights group says civilians were also killed violence with on groups as 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 say 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 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. opinion polls and france suggest the race to become the next president is tightening. emanuel macro remains favored. these just been dealt a blow, a fraud investigations been opened into allegations, but consultancy forms did not pay proper taxes on government contracts during his presidency. government hiring of these companies as dramatically increased under my call, almost $1000000000.00 was spent on them and 2021 account is also facing a challenge from the left and the right. as natasha bother reports from the northern city of lou. oh, middle school is one of from says best known politicians, anthony re orita and former trotsky east. the far left party leaders spend years on the margins of french politics, but middle shores, fortunes are changing. opinion polls suggest he could make into the 2nd round of the presidential election at a rally and neil, he said,
