4:02 pm
and the u. k. prime minister won't be heading to moscow any time soon. the kremlin band, boris johnson, and other top officials from entering the country. it's in response to british sanctions imposed over the war in ukraine. or let's get more from charles stratford who's in the ukrainian capital. charles, let's talk about these grim discoveries that have been made in around keith to tell us more about what's going on there. yes and horrific statistics that have been announced by the ukraine and authorities, as you say, the ukranian saying that more hunt, more than $900.00 bodies have been discovered in areas around the ukrainian capital, around $180.00 locations. those bodies were found in and they're saying that the majority of them there is evidence that said these people was shot at close range. now we know that oversee the ukrainians have been pushing for some sort of international investigation. looking at war crimes,
4:03 pm
potential war crimes committed by the russians and they have a lot of support by their western backers in that endeavor. but we also know how complicated that is. firstly, with respect to any kind of investigation, there are problems as to who would conduct such an investigation and when to start it. but of course, because of course, the war is ongoing. there already a phase, certainly amongst some people in the legal establishment who we've been in contact with, you say that say for example d, mining efforts by the ukrainian military and some of the worst effected areas could damage importance. evidence. and then of course, there's the whole issue of how a trial a potential trial would be put together. because with respect to the i, c, c, the international criminal court. neither ukraine nor russia, nor in fact the u. s. are members of that criminal court. so that poses an initial
4:04 pm
problem, then they go out and say, well, what about using some sort of un tribunal some sort of un trial. but then let's not forget that this would potentially have to go to the security council. and russia has a veto on the security council. so there are all sorts of really monumental challenges that would have to be put or dealt with if there was to be any m, f, investigation, and trial for alleged war crimes and national forget that russia denies any culpability in the killing of these civilians accusing the ukrainians of manufacturing evidence, especially in that area of boucher where according to ukrainian officials around $350.00 of those bodies have been found. there's also been some, some, some more effect sophistic issued by the u. n. they saying with respect to civilian casualties, the u. n. a saying that more than 1900 civilians been killed between february
4:05 pm
24th. when the invasion started up until april, the 14th, they saying $162.00 of those civilians were children. there also saying that more than 2600 people have been injured, including more than 250 children. so more actually her griffith statistics being issued today. the situation has been quite relatively in kiev, but with respect to any kind of culpability in any really transparent and sour investigation with respect to legit war crimes. huge challenges ahead. yeah. let's talk about the situation around key because we were mentioning before russia was saying that it is his it targets a close to key for a 2nd night claims that setting a tank repair facility is one of a series of attacks you've been to the site of one of those attacks just tell us what you've been seeing. we actually visited both
4:06 pm
sites boasted the attack the night before last night. and the night before on a missile. what's in the bush in defense ministry says was a missile manufacturing facility and another attack last night, as you say on this tank repair facility. and relatively speaking on the outskirts of keith. we went down there, there was no indication of any kind of civilian damage to civilian infrastructure. we saw smoke rising from inside the plant, but it was only a couple of hours ago that the man of kiev of italy kitch go said that one person had been killed in that attack last night and a number of others injured. and it was unclear on specific as to whether that person was a civilian. all, all those people injured was civilians, an old military personnel. but it was early this morning that he basically released a statement saying that it was vital that people paid attention to and responded to
4:07 pm
these air, raid sy, signals that we get the air raid sirens that go off quite frequently across the city. now these attacks come after warnings by the russian defense ministry. a couple of days ago, the russian defense ministry saying that the russian military would target what it described as command centers and ministry installations in the capital city. if, if the ukrainians continue to as they report the russians report continue to attack targets across the russian border inside russian. of course we have no way of confirming that but it is a sure of z indication. that said, despite the fact that russian military left this area 2 weeks ago, the capital city still remains vulnerable. the russian ministry of defense says this destroyed building was ukrainian weapons factory in the south
4:08 pm

4:09 pm
a memorial ceremony for the ship in the polt city of sebastopol in russian annexed crimea. the moscow was the largest russian naval vessel to have sunk in action since world war 2 muscular dental plan anymore. and even for those who have not been impressed, moscow was a symbol for everyone action. i give them all of our power, our hope, you know, the revival of the fleet 90. well, it is the symbol of engineering and thank to fic achievement. all comes to the 4th of our average ne ukrainian army says it repelled russian army advances on at least 2 towns in the east of the country. russia has re directed its forces from cave, in an effort to seize more territory in the dumbass region. he also knew that 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 felt people delivering food chemistry in

4:11 pm
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 de escalation. that number is expected to rise. char stratford al jazeera cave creek is president flooding museum, and he wants more weapons from his allies to end the war. he also wants increased sanctions applied to moscow several weeks, some human if i can prove that i, he's group the next package of sanctioned against russia. must include
4:12 pm
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 military experts estimate that russia has lost nearly 3000 pieces of equipment in the conflict. and so, so sorry, reports from keep the losses are being blamed on russian tactical miscalculations and advanced weapons supplied by near to countries. tanks, headquarters, 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, keep within days. but you bring his army wrists with their souls. evidently,
4:13 pm
the russian army and genic problems with moral, with its equipment, with its training on his doctrine. and as a result was soon trans 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 off an ambush of russian troops and columns. in less than 2 months since russia invaded ukraine, it's military. he has lost powers of soldiers, according to ukrainian officials. it's more than the united states did in his 20 years afford in afghanistan. 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,
4:14 pm
the russians have lost nearly $3000.00 pieces of equipment, and these are considered conservative estimates. the highest proof i lost to date was the mosque was the flagship of russia's black sea fleet, losing a plant shibley's enduring a war is well really bad. it said that p r, it's bad. it's going to expect band increase of the morale of the ukrainians of the time when they are on the verge of losing her, mary, who po, when many things can be said to have gone wrong for russians. general valerie says the grain and on forces had a secret weapon. let what may be the you are not only brought yet my shore. the mobilization of our society and people's resistance are pilots who are older than 60 years old. come out and asked for jets. they retired from the on ports as a long time ago and asked, give us planes and we will destroy the russians. so morale is our formula for
4:15 pm
success. if any 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. may 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. postables seem good anti aircraft. missiles have also enabled you cleaning soldiers to take out lawful i, an aircraft as technical miscalculations, misjudgment of the green of resistance, and low morale. how all contributed to russia military vulnerability in this war. these weapons are leveling the playing field. rezo said that al jazeera give that all reports russia has sent the u. s. a diplomatic note saying western on shipments to ukraine could create unpredictable consequences. the or state varman says it
4:16 pm
won't comment on confidential notes between governments. unofficial reports from the white house joe biden has been persistent and consistent in insisting that any u. s. military aid being sent to ukraine is for defensive purposes to help the ukrainians defend themselves against russian aggression. in fact, it was a point that was made in a statement from the white house on wednesday when the united states revealed it was sending an additional $800000000.00 in military 80 ukraine. now in that shipment will be artillery pieces, artillery shells, drones and transport helicopters. and there are some who can make the argument that these can all be used in an offensive capacity. and that certainly seems to be something that concerns the russians, according to reports. here in the united states, the washington post is saying that the russians have sent a diplomatic note to the u. s. government saying that shipments by u. s. a. nito, of what they describe as the most sensitive weapon systems,
4:17 pm
is adding fuel to the conflict and said it could have unpredictable consequences. where we have a statement from the state department saying they will not comment on diplomatic messages between governments. but the u. s. and the allies continue to send military aid to ukraine for defensive purposes. again, that key phrase, for defensive purposes. one of the most important religious and cultural sites in ukraine has chosen a novel approach to protect itself from attack by having no defense at all. among count reports from cave. just a few steps when we traveled back in time, a 1000 years since of year church is the oldest and most important religious site in eastern europe. it's the anesco heritage site. and it's easy to see why was on the whims of st.
4:18 pm
ranisha isis of his casa bora 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. it is a symbol of our state. it is both ukraine's and the world's heritage. there are many authentic, 11th century frescoes and mosaic reserved here. there is not such a large number of preserved mosaics anywhere else in eastern europe was the last. one would have been written here in front of a 6 meter mosaic image of mother or anti made out of millions of small pieces of small one of a 150 shades of different colors. really above me is an image of christ panel crater, surrounded by angels hollow. the main treasure of sofia are the authentic 1000 year old going 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 was him as 1000 years ago
4:19 pm
. these mosaics are on the walls and they are priceless, maintaining these valuable frescoes. and as i x is a year round task, but since the war began, work has started to you. but one thing also stands out. unlike other important buildings, there's no defensive measures here to protect the compound, low sandbags or bloss rules. the management of the church compound has declared it a demilitarized zone, especially 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 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,
4:20 pm
including key ministries. during the 2nd world war, it is said that german bombers avoided targeting the church. but today, 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, statues, boarded up and hidden away among car oh dessert keith lee moorehead in the news are including economic opportunity or environmental disaster. we'll plans to drill in some of africa as most sensitive ecosystems. i subdued new year. why many don't feel like celebrating of the suits of me and mar antennas. pays an emotional tribute to ukraine as the countries players appear in their latest tournament. that's coming up with peter. his sport. ah.

4:22 pm
at this point in time, we all with the question is about environment with both scenarios. due to the basic basically that the importance of the lease base has only grown the whole. the question is, you know, how with this, you know, the diet is moving in the other direction. what people realize that there is, there is a tremendous need or not resources. oil gas accelerated by the situation ukraine and they'll be some backlash. but congress to important to just out on me. i mean, if you look in the scheme of the clue, a forest already well be well into the future. and i think people will seek some kind of accommodation.

full of rescued civilians. this smell of decaying bodies is quite overwhelming. just behind me, it is a neighborhood that rescuers took several days to access. it may seem close from where we are, but they actually had to go around and secure the perimeter in order to reach that area. now the focus of responders now have gone from rescue to retrieval. in the town of paula, mighty tess martinez lost 16 members of her family. it took several days before their bodies were retrieved, bluntly in la la la now. but but the more i still feel as if they're here, though, they're still alive, it's quite a shock. molly dog tablet also lost his daughter and 2 grandchildren. something hot and it hurts my chest, hurt. i just spoke to them that the before the martinez family has set up this tent

4:28 pm
the rain seems to be limited to a drizzle in many parts of the provinces, and people continue to try and mock up. but it continues to be situations like this where there's limited access to utilities, necessities and people are complaining that the government hasn't done enough to help people in situations like this. despite promises from the government that they're doing everything they can to help the people affected. well, let's get more, the situation is south africa, not here is wrong with the weather update. and let's head straight for south africa . now there is still a warning or flooding out because it is how, but the worst i feel is over, but what's on the ground is not good. it's plenty of class to read. it is still raining causal natal and in the su to oversee the cleaning operations under way. and it was a pretty tremendous event. but although there are still warnings out, the worst is down the coast from durban, where they got what they would call

4:33 pm
but already her children are learning german and larissa says she feels this country has been very welcoming and no one you miss completed her. you know them for me. the government has been very supportive. they've given us money, health insurance. they've helped us a lot. we don't feel like refugees. we have the same rights as germans. it's help to make us feel like we have a 2nd home here in the nearly 2 months since the war began. many millions of people have fled ukraine. fewer than one in 10 of them has come to germany, making the sort of journey that millions of other refugees made in the last decade . when the people getting of trains in the big cities were mostly syrian. although the then german government said it could cope with their arrival, there were many problems. once they arrived, the 1st thing was, or that they had to stay in massacre rotation follow researching in the reception center. and that could last month, sometimes years before they found on the,
4:34 pm
on the bell and housing. so that was a huge challenge. and the 2nd is when they come with a family kits they have to go to school. so are integrating them into school learning the language and learning though and drama. they offer the school system. although the situation for refugees here is better now that experiences etched itself onto the collective memory and forced politicians to change policy, you know, a bonus legality. and at least the new government has offered support on a large scale to the federal states. this has allowed us to give refugees better opportunities for integration. this is a clear message. we're doing a better, we're doing it differently. and we've learned from the mistakes of the pastor. there is another important difference between them. and now ukrainians have the right to visa free travel across much of the e. u. syrians do not. which helps to explain why most of the ukrainian
4:35 pm
refugees in europe have not come to germany. whereas most of the syrians did so when ministers say that they are dealing with the problems now better that might in parts be because the need for resources is being tested far less than it was back then. dominant came al, jazeera, berlin, israeli police released more than $400.00 palestinians detained during friday. prayers of the alex, a mosque 30 remain in custody around a 150 others were injured. when israeli police fire tear gas and rubber bullets, neighboring jordan, the custodian of the holy site and occupied east jerusalem condemns the raid as a flagrant violation. local media, in se afghanistan say the pakistan air force has killed at least 30 people. women and children are reported to be among the dead in hosp province with explosions, howard nearby in corner province. the pakistani government hasn't commented on the reports which follow recent fighting with the pakistani taliban supporters of the
