also coming up yemen. saudi backed president saba, rabble months or hardy hands, his powers to a new leadership council. and students in sri lanka join anti government protests urging action on the worsening economic crisis. we begin with new accusations of brutality in the ukraine war. the coming from both sides video appears to show ukranian forces killing detained to russian soldiers. the verified footage was recorded outside the village of demetrika, a few kilometers southwest of boucher had happened on march, the 30th in its soldiers wearing ukrainian flag patches and blue arm bands charged that glory to ukraine. a soldier thought to be russian has a jacket pulled over his head and is shot 3 times. the bodies of 3 other suspected russian soldiers are seen nearby. we have correspondence in russia and ukraine in

a moment. we're here from iran con, who's in key of the 1st i got a dos jibari who's on for us in moscow dos is. so what is russia saying about these images which have surfaced well, we've been hearing from the russian ambassador to the united states anatoly, anton, of who says that to the lack of coverage by the american media about this video that's now been verified by the new york times just shows washington's biased towards the conflict in ukraine and the air russian state media have been running this footage a quite extensively over the past 48 hours. a saying that this is yet more evidence of air rushes position and that the ukrainian forces are carrying out acts of violence against their russian troops. and they are and comparing the ukrainian forces to those a members of i, sol, as well as the nazis. that is,

of course, the narrative that has been put forth by the officials from russia over the past. a now $4344.00 days since the so called special military operation began by the russian forces in ukraine. this is the 1st time we've seen footage that's been verified by western media of russian air soldiers being killed a by allegedly, a ukrainian forces. now, we also heard from the russian defense ministry on a wednesday who said that they hadn't heard of accounts by russian soldiers of ad torture at the hands of ukrainian forces. and they are urging the international aid organizations to get involved to investigate the accusations. they also are an blaming key of government, forestalling it when it comes to exchanging prisoners of war. the russian defense ministry said on

a wednesday that they were ready to exchange 251 ukrainian soldiers with russian ones that were held by the ukrainian forces. and that is still not to happening because of various elements within the key of government. stalling. is that prisoner swap and the i defense mystery is also said they will launch an investigation into this specific incident that has been captured on video, showing allegedly thee a murder of russian soldiers by ukrainian forces. but the general consensus here is that this is very much going to be played when to the narrative that has been coming from the russian governments over the past few weeks. i talked to bar there in moscow. thank you. let's get more now from him on con, who's in the ukrainian capital key. if a mom has there been any response yet from ukrainian or authorities about this apparent evidence that its forces killed russian prisoners

there's been no official reaction or so far. it, sir, just after 11 o'clock. um, i don't know whether we are going to get reaction. this is a very serious bit is a very serious accusation than your times. you originally broke of the story. i say they verified the video. we've taken a look at the video as well, and according to the public source information the week and acts as yes, we could act, we can confirm that the date of march, the 30th, and we can confirm where they were, because i've actually been down that road i've seen that exploded russian armor ah, the where the ukrainians hit now. ukrainians also say that on march, the 30th they did hit in a precise strike that russian convoy. now this is likely to have been a video where people were escaping and they were then ambushed by ukrainian forces, an incredibly serious video and incredibly grim video. so we're not expecting snap

reaction from the ukranian forces. they're going to have to take a look at this because run the ukranian verities. that narrative has always been very simple, is the russians are occupying the land. is the russians or committee will crimes, as the russians are committing atrocities, all forces just defending themselves unofficially of supporters of the war. the narrative that is coming out, the overwhelming narrative, the coming is coming out is that this is a war, and those were uniform soldiers shooting other uniform soldiers, whereas the russians have been shooting and killing civilians. m. ron, as you say, the accusations against russia continued to mount. what can you tell us on that front? well let me just update you on though just one that town alone. that's the town of boucher. we've been down there for the last 3 or 4 days every single day. we've seen bodies being discovered not just in the streets by people's houses in common areas in the woods. for example, we. ready so we were in boucher yes they were. our team came across

a body in the woods. i one of the soldiers a. ready tourist that actually looked like the guy was actually just on a morning walk. ah, now ukrainians and now keeping their identity on them, they're hospitals on them because and there are check posts every by and everybody is checking their ideas. he had his actual possible on him. what they do is when they find buddies like this in the woods, for example, or in people's houses, they check it. the booby traps, 1st from st booby trapped bodies, but being left behind by the russian forces. there is a mark change of atmosphere in boucher, however, the civilian civilian administration has been completely disbanded, has now been taken over by the ukrainian military. so tanks on the streets. the atmosphere is completely different almost every hour in a across ukrainian cities that were formerly, either hard, full tova or occupied by the russians were saying more. ready more atrocities, more and more evidence of alleged. ready crimes the ukrainian say that are coming

to light. indeed the ukrainian 2nd attorney general's told us navy full 1000 cases so far, and that's mounting every single day. so bootstrap particularly has been hard hit by this, but the focus is now on the cities that they can't get into the ukrainians. can't get into independent investigators con, get into variable churney cut, keep for example. ready and craney and say that if you think this was bad, wait until we get in that. well, we were very scared as to what we might find in those cities around con, for i think here. thank you. the u. s. is imposing more sanctions on russian banks as well as vitamin putin's. i don't. daughter's president joe bought and says moscow is paying a severe and immediate price for it's reported atrocities in butcher white house correspondent can be health reports and it is the latest u. s. escalation against russia in lockstep with e, u and g 7 nations, new sanctions targeting russian financial institutions,

department working with the f. b, i also announced it had disrupted a malicious computer network infecting us. small businesses operated by russian military intelligence. the sanctions were accelerated following. the images emerging of civilians killed in boucher scattered in the streets some with their hands bound behind their backs. the attorney general would not confirm his assembling a nuremberg style investigation, but did go out of his way to constitute the killings as atrocities the world sees. what is happening in ukraine. the justice department sees what is happening in ukraine. the white house is warning nations like india and china, against aligning with russia to ease the impact of sanctions. but china accuses the us of exacerbating the conflict they were were. if the u. s. is serious about

easing the situation in ukraine. it should stop adding fuel to the fire, stop imposing sanctions injury, stop, course of words and deeds, and truly commit to promote peace talk syndrome. the. the white house says that sanctions already in place are having an impact. the russian economy is set to contract in 22. some people are going to see if there is no painful package of sanctions against russia. and if there is no real supply of necessary weapons that we've asked for many times and then russia will see it as the permission to go further to attack, to launch new blood shed in the dawn bus safe bucket lawyer day. this package of sanctions looks impressive. but it's not enough. it can't be called commensurate to the evil the world saw in boucher meal to the evil that continues in mary uncles to the shelling of her cue from the school to rushes, attempting to launching a new large scale bloody offensive from the dumbasses, which on the head of natalia insult berg says ukraine's allies are planning to provide more weapons. nato alice have tried that supporter for your crew,

now is to provide it was all necessary to contain poor gym and to defeat russian army in ukraine in the territory of ukraine. so that the war does not spill over further. well this discussion about what is offensive or defensive weapons that's been going on within nato, in the last couple of weeks, according to calais. but that's a very hypocritical discussion because there's a war going on. and ukraine, ukraine is defending the nation. so by nature, this is going to be defensive, he said, but in nato it's been a very delicate balance because of course, nato was very worried that it could provoke russia to go further than ukraine. so this delicate balance will definitely be on the table to day and there calais, but also called out you germany is specifically he sat, germany could do more. ukraine has asked specifically for tanks from germany,

but germany has not decided yet. ukraine says we don't have the time to wait and he is also against his bureaucracy. and on the other hand, we see a country like the check republic, for example, that has quietly already sent a tanks to ukraine. at least that's been reported. it's not been officially confirmed, so you can see also different approaches by and nato countries while a install timber at the start of the meeting, just a few minutes ago, he said, we need to be united. we need to act together. we will hear more about what exactly is going to be decided today in a few hours from now. step arson for now in brussels. thank you. still ahead on al jazeera blue, refusing to stay silence how an orchestra from easton ukraine has reunited in the west country at a tight race in france. pulses as the competition to be the next president is

a key decision because many people and him and we're not happy with his leadership . so they were thinking about, you know, for jim and he is for the other side of the many, i'm in conflict to really have a say in him and to be heard. and to be efficient in negotiations, they need a strong leadership. so how do you probably was, you know, prevailed upon to do this. and he, he disconnected this 7 member group led by a man who was, you know, very well known and mentors administer on the other. but he's also close to the law party. those limits to movement to our very powerful indian men. of course, yes, they are, you know, they don't have any leadership now or rolling politics. i mean in, in the current situation demand, but they, for, for a while they were very strong and they were, you know, key in removing that out of that they were behind the uprising human. so all these arrangements be in the gym and he's the other side. the nun, who, if he human, is either she is made up of many coalitions, many groups have finally decided to unite the acts. thinking that this could be the

best to step forward to, you know, make themselves and, you know, to create a kind of, you know, tough among the committees and also to show that they are strong. they are the majority, they should be listened to. i mean, the judge saudi went in, in what 2015, right. does he still want to be there? is it looking for a way of i don't think so, and it's very clear from all sides from everything they've been doing. but they wanted to be out as soon as possible. you know, remember when they came to yemen, when they talk to him in 2015 they, they said it's going to be a week or to remove the hope is from some, it's 7 years now. and you know that the several attempts and a several rounds of negotiations with who these and this new arrangement, they all mean that the saudis are inpatient to get out of them. but they can't just

leave because that would look like a defeat. after all these years, after all this cost the saudis, $1.00 to $8.00, a face saving exit out of human. and that's why they are, you know, putting pressure on the human is to, to, to come to these arrangements. but the problem is, is they're not in the picture. i mean, with this or not you to the picture. yes, there is a very good sign of goodwill that they have agreed on. this is fire for 2 months. and also there are some favorable regional and international conditions now that the americans are talking to the iranians and the americans are willing to have the saudis on board again after, you know, this situation of misunderstanding over, you know, oil and so on. and, you know, alliance with russia, the americans wanted to stay away from russia. so these international condition, i mean, the big stakeholders in the conflict and them and they are willing, they have a genuine will to, you know, find an arrangement with which everyone,

everyone can be happy and the saudis can only be happy for anyone. one trying to help them get out of human. alright, i live there for time. thank you very much for that. i'll, there's my home of all there would be in the studio. a turkish court has transferred the trial for murder journalist, remarked shockey to saudi arabia. the saudi critic was killed inside the kingdoms istanbul. consulate in 2018 turkey, put 26 people on trial in absentia of all saudi nationals. the prosecutor said the case couldn't be conducted properly since the suspects could not be arrested rides group. say the decision ends any hope of justice for shockey. students, the latest to join protests, inter lanka calling the president to resign because of a worsening economic crisis. but the president got the by our department has refused to step down the flight week. the protests against high prices of food, a few and lengthy power. the governing coalition has lost its majority. after 40 politicians quit
