trouble, they build a refuge for freedom and democracy, a secret library of hope from which they endeavour to rewrite their story and that of their country. witness. daria and library under bombs on al jazeera, ah, knew video affairs to show ukrainian forces, killing rush and catching soldiers outside ski. iv my agenda is very simple. it has only 3 items on it. it's weapons, weapons, and weapons in brussels, ukraine's foreign minister asks for more help as president polanski dismisses new sanctions against russia. ah. other m kimbell, this is l. g. they're alive from dough half. also coming up yet in saudi back to

president. abe's rabble months or how the delegates, our to a new leadership council, and students and tr lanka, join anti government protest urging action of a worsening economic crisis. will begin with new accusations of brutality in the ukraine war. the coming from both sides video appears to show ukranian forces killing detained russian soldiers. the verified footage was recorded outside the village of to me 3 acre, a few kilometers southwest of butcher. it happened on march, the 30th in it, soldiers wearing ukrainian flag patches and blue bands. chant glory to ukraine. a soldier thought to be russian as a jacket pulled over his head, and it's shot 3 times. the bodies of 3 other suspected russian soldiers, a scene nearby, dost jibari, has more from moscow?

well, we've been hearing from the russian ambassador to the united states anatoly, anton, of who says that 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, are quite extensively over the past 48 hours. a saying that this is yet more evidence of air rushes position and at the air ukrainian, or forces are carrying out acts of violence against their russian troops. and they are, are comparing the ukrainian forces to those are 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. other russian air soldiers been killed a by allegedly, a ukrainian forces. now, we also heard from the russian defense ministry on a wednesday who said that they have an heard of accounts by russian soldiers of air torture at the hands of ukrainian forces. and they are urging the international aid organizations to get involved to investigate the accusations. let's get more now from memory con, who's in the ukranian capital key of iran. what response has there been if any, from the ukrainians about this evidence has come to life? well, there's been no official reaction, present them in the lens. he is doing a press conference on friday, you may, we'll talk about it. but currently no reaction i will from any body within the

senior levels of ukrainian leadership. it's likely that they're going to be looking at this video very carefully because it does involve their forces. i've actually been to the place several times, in fact whether that allegedly took place. now at the time of the, in the march 30th the corinthians, defense ministry said that they'd hit russian forces in a precision strike when we saw the aftermath of that. so there was an enormous amount of russian and a huge convoy that simply been blowing up. the base incident is allegedly to have happened when certain russians soldiers were escaping and they were ambushed by ukrainian soldiers. now that's the key bit other official reaction coming through to us suggests that the ukrainians will say that this was part and parcel of war that this was 2 uniformed armies in a fight with each other. yes,

it was an elegant. it wasn't perhaps the greatest way of doing it, but this was 2 uniformed armies who are at war with each other. now. the russians, on the other hand, are killing civilians there, occupying territory. they haven't left the place like mario, full and. busy car keven, other places where is the fighting is intensified and so that's likely, perhaps not as strong as that was likely to be the defense. the ukrainians may well mount name on. as you say, accusations against russia, including the accusation that is targeting civilians. they continue to nope, the well, just 24 hours ago we were in beach was retaken by ukrainian forces on march 31st. that incident, we've just been talking about happened march 30th. the russians were leaving. there is a very different atmosphere in boots and now that was a day ago 2 days ago. the civilian administration has been defined. it is now in

control of the army. there are huge numbers of all the soldiers within boucher itself. they're fighting out, they're going into people's houses, they're going into the woods. they're going into anywhere that may have been used by russell soldiers to 4 civilians into and they are finding dead bodies. it's a regular occurrence. we saw. ready pictures just a few hours ago of body bags being piled up in more weather, registering people who they picked up in various different places. 3 days ago, we saw that mass grave in the grounds of a church. all of this is suggesting that ukrainian faith is evidence of a legit will crimes by the russians, but there is a very different atmosphere now as they go in thought as much as they are talking about boucher hoster, mel mockery eve and other areas to the north of cave where the russians where that concern now is where the russians are in body awful in khaki because they can't get

into those areas. intense fighting is still going on. international investigators can't go that and the ukrainians is saying, look at we've seen this in boucher. ready which are very small towns, bridge is about town of 50000 people. i imagine what it's going to be like when you go to somewhere like variable a town, a $1400000.00. deed, thanks for that update iran con, there for us in ukraine's capital. the head of nato, against all vogue, says ukraine's allies are planning to provide more weapon. nathan islas has a private supporter for your crew for many years sir. chain the than so thousands of routing and troops under no allies, sir, are providing equipment support to you to or pulled your order for self defense arrived, which is and shrine, and that you and sharper under it is an urgent need her to further support ukraine . and her, at our meeting later on with the nato foreign ministers,

i'm certain that we will address the need for her more air defense systems. so, and to thank were burned sir lighter, but also heavier or weapons and many different types of support to ukraine. st. pass in his life for us now in brussels. separates the last day of the nato foreign ministers meeting. what should we expect? well as you heard stilton burke say more military fire power to ukraine, air d alleged to war crimes in town like butcher have really caused some shock among the natal member states are also calling for a game changer. so stepping up military support for ukraine is under table, but the big question today is, is the wishlist that the ukrainians have put to natal gonna be granted. ukraine has been asking for more offensive weapons for a fighter planes, for weapons to destroy vessels for tanks. and it's

a very big question if nato is prepared to give dos, sir, does very offensive weapons it, sir. a very clear, actually at the moment that it's going to be a huge debate between the balance that nato wants to a support ukraine, but also don't want to anger russia too much showing that they're not gonna increase their presence in ukraine. so that's a delicate balance that nato is a been dealing with. but for ukraine it's going to be increasingly frustrating. and the ukranian foreign minister denito could labor has had this to say to nate to this morning. my agenda is very simple. it has only 3 items on it. it's weapons, weapons, and weapons. we are confident that the best way to help you carry now is to provide it was all necessary to contain for gym and to defeat russian

army in ukraine in the territory of ukraine. so that the war does not spill over further. valko labor also said that this division that the nato has been making between offensive and defensive weapons for ukraine. it's a hypocritical, he says because the ukraine is sir, defending itself against the russian invasion. so by nature it's going to be a defensive war. so he is actually calling on a to, to drop this division. and that's also going to be very interesting. he also called out germany, specifically for not doing enough. he said germany could do more. they have specifically asked germany for tanks, which are seen as offensive weapons, and germany is says, still deliberating about it. and he said, we don't have time to wait for that. and what you also see, it's interesting these cracks appearing within nato because sir, the czech republic has quietly already been sending thanks reportedly to ukraine. and so, despite the fact that stole from burger's asking for this united response,

the w unity is a bit under threat. and we will hear in the next few hours what the actual response of nato will be for. it's crucial time in the war and ukraine as dalton burke has called it. i will be checking back in with you asked at, steadfast in there for us in brussels. the u. s. is imposing more sanctions on russian banks as well as that of a person's adult daughters. president joe biden says moscow's paying a severe ant immediate price for it's reported atrocities booter. i want us corresponding kimberly huckabee doctor, it is the latest u. s. escalation against russia in lockstep with e, u and g 7 nations, new sanctions targeting russian financial institutions, and kremlin officials. the u. s. president also introduced an executive order banning all american investment in russia. this ran restaurants, going to make sure that new morning can't come in to rush you to replace what's

left. so those sanction now include russian president vladimir putin's 2 adult daughters and foreign minister survey. laugh rob his wife and daughter. on wednesday, the justice department announcing actions against russian oligarchy, constantine malice, have for sanctions violations. and the seizure of a yacht docked in spain earlier this week, owned by another russian oligarchy, victor vac cell burg. it does not matter how far you sail your yacht. it does not matter how well you conceal your assets. the justice department will use every available tool to find you disrupt your plots and hold you accountable. the justice 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 may were were if the u. s. is serious about easing the situation in ukraine. it should stop adding fuel to the far stop imposing sanctions. you to stop course of words and deeds and truly commit to promote peace talk syndrome. then the white house says that sanctions already in place are having

an impact. the russian economy is set to contract in 2022 by as much as 15 percent and inflation in russia is up by as much as 200 percent. kimberly hell can al jazeera washington, ukraine's leader has welcome to the extra sanctions bus as more needs to be done liberal, the diesel, bullish neural bucket. some typical that i 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, then russia will see it as the permission to go further to attack, to launch new bloodshed 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 merry apples to the shelling of hercules to rush, attempting to launch a new large scale bloody offensive in the dub bus. which of the still ahead on al

power has to be aligned or did you just delegate his powers to counsel and he can still, you know, come back or dismiss his counselor and she paused to make out a you know, the real story here, because in the, in the, in the announcement he dedicated his power. he appointed his council, he dismissed his deputy prior deputy president. but also, i mean, in some translations and understandings, this is an irreversible move, or is he the president, or is he not yet? that's, that's a question or is he now the president is the form of the former president? that's a question now. but i mean, whatever the scenario is, the human is, are i have been trying this is a serious attempt, probably the most outstanding attempt to unite our act, the yemenis, the none with the germany camp. because remember, we have the southerners separate southerners. we have this law party we have, you know, are the camps and now it is, it looks like they have been able to,

you know, unite in one front. and last, very interesting. i think it's key for them to be able to, you know, are negotiate with the youth is because, and the exit that the apparent exit of muscle hardy would go down very well with many human is because our, we're very critical of his leadership. a thought that he's just, you know, somebody there for saudi arabia too, or anybody else to, you know, use as a, a facade of legitimacy and so on. so this is a good step if it can be followed by real negotiations, but the hope is are still not in the future. well, that's my next question. i mean, how are the who is likely to respond to this? yeah, remember, the whole thing is, i mean they are in somehow so the think the, they think they control human, you know, they control a big chunk of human and they have a lot of weapons and you know, the saudis have been able to dislodge them. so they think they, there are the legitimate people leaders in jamar right now. so there is, nobody could remove them so that the hoof is, think they have the upper hand in these negotiations because i mean, power could not remove them. so this could not move them in

a coalition of countries. 7 years of fighting saw them and they will come to honestly, they refused to go to the yard because they think this is an enemy territory. in a neutral country, you may be, they will go, but they will always try to maintain the upper hand walk would push them out of santa if the, if they were not pushed by power, they will not be ready to just this on our, amid the arrangement will always the whatever arrangement they will accept it, it will be an arrangement whereby they stay in power. the who these are, are of course, backed by iran. what is iran's appetite to continue this? well, i mean, i think in our previous conversation, you asked me about the will of saudi arabia. let's start with that. saudi arabia is very keen, very keen on exiting from, from your, on a, from her a human you're on is another story. you're on please long term games in the, in the middle east, you know, and they think that, you know, they can,

they can outweight any kind of scenario. and you can kind of situation so that they're not, they don't the, they're not under much pressure here. and the americans are now talking to them, they mean the trying to, you know, curry favor to your news because elaine is half oil. and this is the time when alternatives for russian oil and russian gas of being, you know, desperately looked for by the westerners. so i don't think you're uneasy in a much or under a lot of pressure here. so that's why the hoof is, will always, you know, feel that they can negotiate for over because they are in control in or i thank you very much for the analysis answers, there is a hum evolve here in the studio. a turkish court has transferred the trial for murder. journalist mancha shocked. you to saudi arabia. the saudi critic was killed inside the kingdoms it stumble. consulate in 2018 turkey, put 26 people on trial in absentia all saudi nationals, prosecutor said the case couldn't be conducted property since the suspects could

their exams on. they do not have enough money to run the show. foreign currency reserve have dropped to an all time low. it's less than a 1000000000 rupees. and for many, many months now where they'd be economists, where they'd be opposition figure had been wanting the government to address these issues without letting it reach for the worse due to fall down to rock bottom. they had told them to start the restructuring of did this are looking at the long term, mid term solution, what the government decided to keep on putting a bread face. it kept saying, we've got everything under control funding on the situation of day to day. you know, a ship, sometimes it's hot in the outer harbor put up to $8.00 to $10.00 days, gathering more damage because they don't have, you know, $40000000.02 pay for it. so this is why the government has come to this, obviously many years in the making. revenue falling over lots of reasons, but this is the writing on the wall. the rising cost of fuel has provoked protests

inflation at places like malta, town, northern france, people on spending like they used to, when did the marquee client expect certain prices, but they say what's happening and because they are struggling financially, val counting the penalty. every one the we spoke until he says that they're worried about the war in ukraine, the coven pandemic. but then number one concern is the cost of living in a bar, a group of friends is talking politics. members was there with work. i think we often, there are 3 categories of people in france was poor, rich, and the people in the middle, those in the middle struggle most because the poor get state help, but people in the middle get all the texas often. i don't not example, under a contract it's the people in the middle of fall right. party leader marine, the pen is targeting the focus on the cost of living has shifted the spotlight away from her anti immigration agenda and broadened her appeal. she's widely expected to

tiny particles commonly found in packaging and were discovered in human blood for the 1st time last month, raising concerns that could mover on the body and lodge in organs. and the full effect on our health is not yet known. researchers have found micro classics cause damage to human cells and work as exposed to high levels have develop diseases or harvey as an environmental scientist. he says, research about humans breathing in micro plastics is still new, but is extremely concerning. particle size is so small that there's a good chance that people won't actually be able to see those plastic particles in the environment around them. and that's really scary. and actually, one of the findings of this study is where exactly the plastic conical being lodged in the lung. and they getting to places where really particles shouldn't be able to reach. there is a bit of a shift going on a moment globally. and certainly here in australia where i'm headed to move away

from those single use plastics that perhaps we really don't need. and those include a plastic bag that we often get from a supermarket. but that being said that, but there's a lot of work to do in that space. and i think like plastic bags, even drink bottles and other bits and pieces that have a really short operational life financial working life as a, as a resource product. we really should be looking globally to move away from those. ah, this is algebra and these are the top stories and new video has the most appears to show you. cranium. 4th is killing, detained russian soldiers was reportedly shot out for the village of demetrius. if you could call me at is southwest a butcher on march, the 30th those jabari has moved from moscow. we've been.
