into the headline, join me as i take on the lies, dismantle the misconceptions and debate. the contradictions. do we have a real democracy here in the united states? that's not a political party, that's a radical insurgency are mark lamond hill and it's time to get up front right here on out 0. ah, mobile 900 bodies are found in ukraine's key region after russian forces bedroll. police say many victims were executed. ah, hello nick clark, this is al desert life and are also coming up. paul to the philippines. a devastated after a landslide, triggered by flooding, wipes out frames and leaves many missing the search for survivors. in south africa, nearly 400 people are dead off to the worse flooding in 60 years. and twitter

brings in a so called poison pill plants prevent belinda isla musk from taking it over. so police in ukraine say the bodies of more than $900.00 civilians have been found in areas surrounding the capital. the discovery comes off to russian forces withdrew the head of caves. original for says in the town of boucher more than $350.00 corpses were found. let's get more from charles stratford who's in the ukrainian capital and charles, this is a grim roku of the dead. very much so, net guess those figures as you say, more than 900 bodies discovered in what sorts you say are approximately a 180 different sites mainly around the capital city and saying that the majority of those killed that seemed to have evidence of being shot at close range

. now we know it was at the see the ukrainian government is pushing for russia to be tried for legit war crimes. we know the ukrainian government has backing in that endeavor by its western backers and it was in the last couple of days that the chief prosecutor for the international criminal court was he in kid visited that area, boucher that you mention where so many of those bodies were found, but it's important to recognize that there are huge legal challenges if any kind of investigation into these illegible crimes is going to take place. i mean, the 1st challenge, so lawyers and legal experts in this country say is the compatibility between the ukrainian legal system and the kind of regulations that the i c c, the international criminal court. for example. stipulate there are other challenges with respect to when to start any potential investigation because of course the war

is ongoing and it's very difficult to gather evidence in conflict zones that we know that there have been fear is voiced by the ukrainian disorder. it is and legal experts with respect to for example, d, mining efforts around kids have and the fear of tampering or destroying potential evidence. and legal experts will also talk you about what they say is the level of confidence phase worries about the level of confidence amongst the ukrainian legal establishment in dealing with such a huge challenge, such as an investigation into war crimes. interested also over night we had an admission by the president of ukraine, ultimate zalinski with respect to casualties of ukrainian soldiers, the amount of ukrainian soldiers that have been killed in the war so far. so let's keep saying, i think between 2503000 ukranian soldiers had been killed. he said that approximately

10000 ukranian soldiers had been injured. now he gave statistics about what, what he believes, the amount of russian soldiers that were killed. he says that and i think between 920000 russian soldiers who killed of course, there is no way of anywhere near to verifying those kind of figures. and we all understand the kind of importance of information in this war, the propaganda war that continues indeed in any conflict, but it's interesting that zalinski has come out with those pretty high numbers. also interestingly, over night, there were reports of another russian as strike in the capital. there are reports of certainly according to to the local man saying that there were teams of medics and rescuers in an area of south west and south west of kiev. looking at that strike sight now,

this would mean that it's the 2nd consecutive night that the russians have hit a target in and around key ever since the withdraw all of their forces from around the capital 2 weeks ago. and of course, this shows, despite that withdrawal of russian forces just how vulnerable the ukrainian capital is. the russian ministry of defense says this destroyed building was ukrainian weapons factory in the south west outskirts of the capital cave. moscow says the plant made anti aircraft an anti ship missiles. people living nearby, say they heard at least 3 large explosions early friday morning. was lowville i must say, annoy apologies. thanks. we parked the car and the 2 rockets had at 1 am. i did not realize that there are 2 rockets coming in, but when i went out afterwards, i waited endorsed for some time feeling mostly. we saw the 3rd one coming damage. the car toward the tires had the windows and was people suffered to the walls fell

out. let me apologize. the attack came hours after russia said it's black c fleet flank ship the mosque bar at sunk while being towed back to port after a fire caused an explosion on board. ukrainian military said it was responsible having targeted the vessel with ukrainian made neptune missiles. people gathered at a memorial ceremony for the ship in the port city of sebastopol in russian annexed crimea. the most gra was the largest russian naval vessel to have sunk in action. since world war 2 must quiet dental plan any more i will, even for those who have not been impressed. moscow was assembled ever nationally. the mil of our power, our hope, you know, the revival of the fleet in the 19. well, it is the symbol of engineering and scientific achievement. all comes to the force of our arms. ne ukrainian army says it repelled russian army advances on at least 2

towns in the east of the country. russia has redirected its forces from cave in an effort to seize more territory in the danverse region. this is it volunteers help ukrainian soldiers pack food to be distributed to some of the many thousands of people fleeing, although still living the worst affected areas. i stay here because this my home and so we tell people delivering food chemistry in our town. just throwing her voicemail good. had to fill the thing. i want to move this drone footage shows destroyed residential buildings in mary opal. the besieged port city on the as off see his sop at 7 weeks, a bombardment by russian forces and pro russian separatists repeated attempts at securing humanitarian corridors. to rescue thousands of people trapped inside have

failed. the mayor of the city estimates thousands of civilians may have been killed in the fighting ukraine's ministry of defense as russia has for the 1st time used long range bombers to attack the city font and, you know, steady russian occupants keep carrying out aerial strike. so mary, awful, they use long range bombers. the enemy's land forces are trying to capture the seaport. the strike on what the russian defense ministry describes as a weapons factory on the outskirts of kia is the 1st major strike by russian forces on a target around the capital city. since russian forces left the area more than 2 weeks ago, major military operations now for the time being have moved east, where there are increasing reports of an effort by the russian military to close in, around the strategically important city of slip yancey. the un says that more than

4700000 people have flayed the fighting and with no indication of any d escalation. that number is expected to rise. char stratford, al jazeera cave, will ukraine's president flooded. miss lensky says the country needs more weapons to end the war, and he wants more sanctions applied on moscow. or only some human if i can prove that he's group. the next package of sanctions against russia must include a russian oil band. in general, the democratic world must accept that russia's money, the energy resources is in fact money for the destruction of democracy. when these decisions are made, we will all be able to see peace coming with. one of the most important religious and cultural sites in ukraine has chosen a normal approach to protect itself from attack by having no defense at all. and we're con reports now from keith. just a few steps when we travel back in time,

a 1000 years. since the fear church is the oldest and most important religious site in eastern europe, it's the unesco heritage site. and it's easy to see why miss, i'm in the homes have synthesized this. if he's casa, laura said that we are located now in the central part of st. sophia cathedral, got a 1000 year old monument, which was built in $1011.00 is nothing. it is a symbol of our state. it is both ukraine's and the world's heritage. so there are many authentic, 11th century frescoes, and was it preserved here that there is not such a large number of preserved mosaics anywhere else in eastern europe with those. when would have been written here in front of the 6 meta mosaic image of mother or anti made out of millions of small pieces of smouldering, of a 150 shades of different colors. 3 above me is an image of christ. upon to crater,

surrounded by angels, all the main treasure of sophia, or the authentic 1000 year old only frescoes and moses. it's impossible to take them down from the wall to put them in boxes and place in some bomb shelters to day or same as 1000 years ago. these mosaics are on the walls and they are priceless. maintaining these valuable frescoes amiss i. x is a year round task, but since the war began, work has stopped to you. but one thing also stands out. unlike other important buildings, there's no defensive measures here to protect the compound, no sandbags or blast rules. the management of the church compound has declared it a demilitarized zone, asparsa navine on the 1st day of the war, we had to close the museum lulu, at the moment. all our museums are closed for visitors, and our monuments are conserved in the muzzle on the territory of the cathedral. there is no single military nor any weapons. there is only

a small number of workers who maintain the facilities sufficient. there's a saying in arabic, trusting god, but to have it your camel saints of is hoping that it status is one of the oldest most important historical sites in eastern europe will give it some protection. however, the church compound is surrounded by strategic sites, including key ministries. during the 2nd world war, it is said that german bombers avoided targeting the church but to day, not everyone shares the belief that if the capital is attacked again, its cultural heritage will be spared. so much so that this is now a common site statues, boarded up and hidden away. among con, our desert. keith rescue teams in the philippines is searching for people missing after tropical storm mega stroke, the islands heavy rainfall triggered landslides at devastated east and southern coastal areas. more than 100 people have been killed, at least 200. a missing jamal alan dugan is in one of the hardest hit heiress,
