buying compton days of rising violence. police in new york search for a 62 year old man and they say was involved in a subway train, shooting that engine 10 people and countries around the gulf of guinea pool resources in personnel and the fight against pirates. but admit it's still not safe enough for you as president joe biden has further hardened his language about the war in ukraine, referring to russia's invasion as genocide previously called russian leda vladimir putin. a war criminal are called agenda. saw the evidence of molly. the river was last week, the more evidence is coming out of literally all of the russians have done. you only learn more and more about what the lawyers, the stars nationally,

whether or not to qualify for caesar, where you are responding on twitter, ukraine's president tagged poetess, which is short for president of the united states saying the following true words of a true leader cooling things by their names is essential to stand up to evil. we are grateful for us assistance provided so far and we urgently need more heavy weapons to prevent further russian atrocities. meanwhile, a long russian military column appears to be heading towards east in ukraine. the satellite images were released by the u. s. companies max our technologies. moscow says it plans to take more territory with separatists that it backs in the dumbass region. russian forces have repositioned away from the capital and its surrounding towns and villages. let's go to cave and speak to a correspond enron con umbrella. stop with president barton's remarks in russia's committing genocide in ukraine. this is a significant escalation of the president's rhetoric on the war. what do you make

of it? i mean, it is a significant escalation, but it doesn't have any legal aah power behind it. at the moment, if you call something a genocide than the international community is forced to act, that has to be done through the legal process international. ah, criminal court, for example, need to be involved. the security council at central needs to be involved, but it is, are words that are how been completely and utterly accepted and put on the loudspeaker effectively by president vladimir zalinski. read his suite, them very powerful stuff, saying that you've got to call something what it is in order to be able to deal with it. and this is interesting because the united states is notorious for actually not calling things a genocide. they shy away from that precisely because if they did,

they would have to act of ever became a legal thing out. once again, this is president joe biden, putting his support behind. ah, the ukranian people and the ukranian leadership, ill put significant pressure on the russian president vladimir putin. but like i say, it doesn't have any legal ramifications. right now that may well change are people in ukraine are going to be wondering if that's actually the next step, if there will be power behind those words. let's see what happens in the coming days. but once again, like i say, if you call something a genocide and it becomes legal that actually escalates this to a whole of the level, i'm not sure. given what we've seen, the americans do so far that they want to go that far. but the diplomacy here is still continue, got full president visiting ah, florida, his lensky, in kiva today, they include the polish armina and latvia, estonia and lithuania. they'll be coming here once again to give him support.

poland is a particular crucial allies. the only railing land rail link of this openness, allowing aid to get it and people to escape. or you've been to more areas which were re taken from russian forces. he took history, what you've seen, what a devastation less yoni term i can find to describe a lot of these towns we visited or on the outskirts of the capital cave. we are in as was of the north west area predominantly. and it's not just places that we know about like boucher where international attention has been absolutely focused. though we're also seeing a little villages, you know, places that are barely able to be seen on a map are almost completely flattened. a lot of people, they're telling us that you know what the russians did, their, with their tanks with their artillery shelling completely destroyed the houses and

they're afraid to go back. yeah, she tried to go to one of these villages like i said, can barely find it on a map. ah, but the security forces wouldn't let us in. now there was no nefarious reason for that. it was simply, they were to overwhelm, they couldn't go in and clear the air, the area of booby traps and mines and things of that nature. so it was just far too dangerous for anybody to go, much less. ah, people like also journalists, we wanted to go and explore and see and hear people stories. but we have been hearing people's stories. people have gone back and this is what they found. imagine coming back to this. when you left, it was a bustling, vibrant town. now it's the complete opposite. what would you be thinking? mm. somewhere. victor shows is his pride and joy. a home he built, i've

a 20 years or was this on us all? kilowatts, they all at them kill of either the scarf. here we had our bed tv and the wardrobe were there. what that is. i replaced the windows and doors. everything was brand new under for heating where i live in a good life, but the russian did not need to save us. absolutely, absolutely not. they destroyed everything i knew sort of the ocean in her pin. yara slow, the clears away bullets from his apartment block from. he doesn't want his kids to find them when they eventually return. yog bully will a minute! but when you're, when you're ready, you can see how they pulled out the door of my apartment. they pulled up the locks and broke it, apparently wanting to steal something will is them key to

the yoke and did soon there here was my kitchen mystery with the water heaters on the floor. he was our air conditioner, microwave fridge, stovall, a deal nic. cocoanut with us, so he sent far to the mall, jackie, but he was at that's the beauty of the russian piece. you've server paddle this isn't reconstruction, it's barely even clearing, but it is something called the a keith playoff for the people we have spoken to. it's something that helps them get back some control gives them some hope that once again, this will be a bustling, vibrant town. the government, however, is overwhelmed by the sheer scale of what's required. official estimate suggestion takes 7 years to rebuild when they eventually begin. that's not to say the government isn't doing anything, it is, it is actually building bridges and that's the priority for the government is getting all the infrastructure in place so people can return. but what they're

returning to, well, that's going to take a lot longer to fix. and mon calling out is there a pin, well insisting he had no other choice madman. pearson has once again defended the military action, which he says is on track. the russian president hosted the barrison lead, alexander lucas, shank, i. one of his main allies. dawson jabari reports from moscow. a day to celebrate to pass the russian successes with old allies. president vladimir putin arrived at the ghost touching the cosmo drum and rushes for ease. with bella, russian president, alexander lucas jenko, to mark 61 years since one of the biggest achievements in russia's history. april 12th 1961 russian cosmonaut. eureka gar. in became the 1st man in space. a clearly happy memory for the president who says he still remembers that day as a 9 year old boy. but the ongoing conflict with ukraine is still at the top of the agenda for president putin room. unfortunately,

ukraine was created as some kind of launch pad for aggression against russia and the offshoots of nationalism. what totally cherished this new generation of ukrainian nationalists are especially crashing with russia. you see how nazi ideology became a fact of life in ukraine. it was unavoidable. we are taking steps to provide security for russia. we didn't have any other choice. we did the right thing, and i have no doubt that our aims will be achieved. russia so called special military operation is now in its 2nd phase, which official say will focus on the dumbass region of ukraine. vladimir putin also praised russian troops for what he calls, efficiently, courageously and competently carrying out their operation. that operation was the topic of discussions between the russian president and his bella, russian counterpart, bella. ruth, has hosted russian troops since earlier this year. and the key of government accused minsk of allowing their borders to be used by russian troops to enter

ukraine. despite the criticism from the west, president lucas jenko support for vladimir putin continues to be unwavering. prior to their meeting, lucas jenko vowed bella luce will always be by russia side. the 2 presidents emerged from their discussions with renewed determination to consolidate their unity, which will include closer military ties with role we discussed detail important issues including political, diplomatic, economic, and of course, military on defense. all modern history hasn't seen yet such dangerous, uncomplicated moments. and i pollution ship with the worst twitch and also praise lucas ankles role in starting the negotiations between moscow and keith, which are still ongoing. but the russian president admitted that they have now reached a deadlock. those talks between russia and ukraine and officials began just a few days after russia's military operation. but there were never any high hopes

that he would bring an end to the fighting anytime soon. now, let me approve has confirmed what many feared at this. hopefully it will only end once russia achieves its objectives regardless of how long it takes and i walk pause door. so jabari algae 0, moscow. israeli forces say they've made large scale arrests in the occupied westbank. early morning rates happen in janine to com and the blues. at least 3 villages, so yet known how many palestinians have been detained. they have been days upon rust and military operations off to a palestinian government shot and killed 3 is righties until the last week. as go to natasha name, who is live for us in janine and the occupied with by natasha. these raids the ongoing by the israelis. what is the latest from this morning? so this is the 6th day of israeli raids, specifically in the northern west bank. we are here in jeanine. the israeli

a hot spot if you will. the other reason janine is a focus for the israeli military is that it is kind of a heart and soul of the palestinian resistance movement against israeli occupation . there is a heavy presence of armed groups, specifically the islamic jihad, since these raids began 6 days ago did prisoners and the palestinian prisoner society tells us about 100 people have been detained. what's happening later on today? the are, these are only media reports. is that hamas and other factions in gaza plan to meet and assess the situation. ok, natasha can name that for us in jeanine. coming up off to the weather. i once again offer a full apology. i'm sorry, thought on staying on the u. k. prime minister refuses to quit off to being fined for breaking his own cave at 19 locked down and dust that. isn't it worthless?
