some of them want to stay there. but what if holding trials in cyberspace denies defendants the right to a fair hearing, and remove safeguards against abuse people in power investigates on line justice on a jessina? oh, a fellow, what have you here? i'm emily anglin. he's reminder of anti stories of russia's president has declared victory in the battle for the besieged ukrainian de of marion home page and ordered his troops to steal the ukrainian soldiers and civilians trapped in a still works,

which is the last pocket the russian forces, se they've captured 42 villages, the cranes 8th, and don't bass region. one ukrainian official confirmed the losses that said they could be one back and forth. honduras president, one or lander hernandez, has been extra diving to be us divisive drug trafficking charges. the one time american allies accused of helping to move tones of cocaine into the us for almost 20 years. more on the ukraine warm, should the russians take full control of mary? a poll. it would secure a land cargo from the dumbass region in ukraine's aisd. it's true to the crime mirror crimean peninsula, which russia annexed in 2014 out diplomatic as a james by looks at what it means. if mary po for

mario pull has been in, battled besieged, and bombarded the strategic port city subjected to indiscriminate attack by artillery and from the ass since the war started in february the russian assault here likely to be one of the focuses of the internet, criminal courts investigations into war crimes. from the very start, this campaign has been one of extreme brutality and it's got worse over time. this is unfortunately entirely consistent with the russian way of war that we've seen in previous campaigns in syria. and before that and checking in to check and was nigel gould davis is an academic, specializing in the former soviet union. he was previously the case on bassett in bella. ruth, so the full of multiple is that going to be a game changer? it is important. it does, i think,

further the russian aspiration to establish some kind of longer term control over that southern coastline of ukraine. ah, and is clearly consistent with the re forming the drawing back and redeployment of russian forces we're seeing across ukraine, which is a consequence of their failures further west. of course, they're regrouping, but maria poll will be an important part of that. the basis of you, campaign, and western capitals to tins war so far is seen as a major strategic failure. but people are also aware of the lessons from chechnya and from syria. if you're prepared to use the most brutal brute force, whatever the cost to civilians or even your own troops, you might prevail in the end. there is an important date on the horizon. may, the 9th is victory day, the commemoration of the defeat of the nazis in russia and the 2nd world war. some
