it impact their land and to seek their consent. the tiny seemingly community has won a huge battle, but maybe not necessarily have the last word. since the court ruling does leave room for exceptions in the name of overriding national interests. ah, well, the $900.00 bodies are found in ukraine's cave region after russian forces withdraw . please say victims have been executed and counting the cost of war. russia is estimated to have lost thousands of pieces of military equipment in the conference with ukraine. ah, hello mccloud, this is al jazeera life and also coming up the search for survivors in south africa . nearly 400 people are dead after the worst flooding in 60 years. and twitter

brings in a so called poison hill plan to prevent billionaire ela must take it over. so police and ukraine say the bodies of more than $900.00 civilians have been found in areas surrounded the capital. the discovery comes off to russian forces, withdrew the head of keith, regional force says more than $350.00 corpses were found in the town of boucher i. let's get more from charles stratford. he studied by 1st in the ukrainian capital and charles said more grim discoveries in places from which the russians have withdrawn. yes, makes them horrific. statistics being put out by the ukranian authorities on what they describe as a legit war crimes being committed by russian forces in those areas surrounding give mainly when they occupied the area. let's not forget the 2 weeks ago,

russian forces left the area. ready the ukraine was archie saying up to a $180.00 locations more than $900.00 bodies, $350.00, of which in that area of boucher which has had so much media and international attention. and. and the understanding is, according to the ukraine and authorities that many of these people there is evidence to suggest that they were shot at close range. we know that the ukrainian government and. ready west and back as a keen to try and get some sort of investigation into 2 alleged war crimes. we also know that in the last few days, the chief prosecutor for the i c. c. the international criminal court was here. ready and visited that area of boucher but we also know that there are huge challenges if any kind of investigation is to go forward. legal experts hair will tell you that. so one of the main challenges is the compatibility of the ukrainian

legal system with any kind of international legal institution that would be heading such an investigation up. there also concerns certainly according to legal experts about when in fact such an investigation could begin because of course this war is ongoing. and there are already concerns about potentially evidence being destroyed as ukrainian the ukrainian military try and clear. ready some of the mine fields laid on the outskirts of kit, and there are also concerns about literally and this comes from legal experts will they describe as the competence of, of the ukranian legal system and ukrainian lawyers in being involved in any kind of international investigation. so there are huge challenges, a haze if indeed. ready there is going to be a thorough and transparent investigation at some stage, and you have been to the site of a re, recent strike on care of haven't you that's right this

morning. and indeed yesterday, and we, we visited to what was described as weapons factories. and the 1st one was hit last night, or the night before last night was described as a mis all manufacturing factory on the outs goes of kevin. and last night there was a 2nd strike on what's been described as a tank repair facility in the last hour or so. the ukranian man speaking to local media has said that one person was killed in last night strike. and at least what is described as a number of others were injured not, not exactly clear as to whether that person was killed or indeed those who were injured were civilians, all military personnel. certainly the people that we spoke to in the area of the facility that was hit last night describe a large explosion. early morning. there was no evidence of any real civilian

infrastructure having been damaged in that strike. we saw smoke rising from behind . the walls of that facility, as i say, this is the 2nd night, 2nd consecutive night. they have been strikes on military facilities by the russians mold in 2 weeks since russian forces left the area. and it's an indication just how vulnerable and the ukrainian capital still is. and interestingly, it comes both the strikes come also a warning by the russian defense ministry a couple of days ago saying that to accusing the ukrainians of attacking targets across the border in russia, saying if those tall, if those attacks continued, then russian forces would target will they describe is command senses, am and military installations in the capital city. now, those kind of segments have to be put in the context of what we've been describing as false flag operations. a full flag operation is what certainly western analysts

and ukraine and is often accused the russians of, of, of doing that means basically, falsifying evidence all or indeed making false claims about attacks in order to give the russians a pretext to retaliate. but sir, certainly as i say, it's been 2 weeks since the russians left. the situation has been a lot quieter here in the capital. but some, some worrying development says as these attack seemingly continued, and they are actually betterment, thanks for much cha, strapped reporting, ukraine's president vladimir lensky once more weapons from his allies to end the war. he also wants increase sanctions applied to moscow. several we santini packet or he's good for the next package of sanctions against russia must include a russian oil band. in general, the democratic world must accept that brush his 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 military express estimate that russia has lost nearly 3000 pieces of equipment in the conflict. as russell said, our reports now from keith. the losses are being blamed on russian tactical miscalculations and advanced weapons supplied by nato countries. tanks, helicopters, personnel carriers, tens of millions of dollars worth of equipment all destroyed. and these are just a small portion of the losses suffered by one of the most powerful armies in the world. when russia began is offensive it hope to capture your brains capital here within days. but you re his army wrists with the assault. evidently, the russian army hummers and ethnic problems with moral, with its equipment, with its training and his doctrine. and as a result, russell to answer your question directly. russia has been defeated in the field to

a point where it was effectively routed from the north of the country. ukrainian armed forces have taken advantage, often ambushes russian troops and columns. in less than 2 months since russia invaded ukraine, it's military has lost powers of soldiers, according to ukrainian officials. it's more than the united states did in a 20 years of what in afghan stan, and nearly a decade in iraq combined. they say russia has lost at least 479 tanks, 496 infant and fighting vehicles. 28 crafts for shapes. 32 helicopters, 784 tracks, vehicles and jeeps. in total, the russians have lost nearly $3000.00 pieces of equipment and is all considered conservative estimates. the highest prof,

i lost to date was the mosque was the phil actually bought fresh us black sea fleet . losing a flagship is in during the war is well really bad. it said that the, our, it's bad. it's going to expect band increase of the morale of the ukrainians at the time when they are on the verge of losing her. maria, who both, when many things can be said to have gone wrong for russians. general valerie says the grain and armed forces had a secret weapon. let me be your meryl at least brought him yet my shore, the mobilization of our society and people's resistance, especially our pilots who are older than 60 years old. come out and asked for jets . they retired from the armed forces a long time ago and asked, give us planes and we will destroy the russians. so moral is our formula for success. opinion forces have employed new technical weapons given to ukraine by nato allies. chief among them are portable anti tank guided missile

systems such as the u. s. me javelin, and his lighter cheaper cousin. and lo, which have been used against russian tanks with their state in effect in the, in the turkish me to be to by dr. thrones have carried out both recognizance and strike operations. portable single anti aircraft missiles have also enabled you cleaning soldiers to take out lawful i, an aircraft as technical miscalculations, misjudgment of the cleaner resistance and low morale. how all contributed to russia, military vulnerability in this war. these weapons are leveling the playing field. russell said that al jazeera cave in serbia, thousands of protesters have rallied in support of russia's invasion of ukraine. they oppose the serbian government's fate. to remove russia from the you and human rights council. many serbs, skeptical of nature, and believe the west provoked moscow into attacking ukraine. the distrust stems from the 1999 nato bombing of serbia,

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. 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 and official. there's a saying in arabic trusting god, but 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, it's cultural heritage will be sped. so much so that this is now a common sight,
