claimed victory in mar, you, paul, even though ukrainian defenders are still holding out there, the city is the main port in dumbass and the killing to crimea, which russia annexed in 2014. the general now says russia wants to open the land corridor. all the way to trans mystery, a breakaway region, internationally recognized as part of moldova. first though it would have to capture the major cities of mc alive and odessa, president lensky says the comments prove russia intends invading other countries. and ukraine's defense ministry responded on twitter saying they stopped hiding it. russia has acknowledged that the goal of the 2nd phase of the war is not victory of the mythical nazis, but simply the occupation of eastern and southern ukraine, imperialism as it is, dosage a barrier. moscow has more on the criminal plans. while according to the acting commander of the country, central military units,

the task of the 2nd phase of this so called special military operation is to secure the areas in eastern and southern ukraine and to establish a land corridor that would stretch from russia all the way across to crimea, this commander seeing that this is the number one priority for the russian military . now he also made a comment that is very interesting. at this stage he said that this land quarter, we're also provide a further opportunity for russian forces to get closer to an area in moldova known as trans trans, this trio which is a break away region in moldova, that is alongside the border with ukraine. the area share is about 400 kilometer to ukraine. and also the idea is that the russian speaking population in that area are in need of russian assistance,

according to this military general who was speaking earlier on friday. now this is the 1st time we've heard about the any kind of aspirations, the russian military would have beyond the borders of ukraine. but also it indicates that there is a possibility that the russians would be looking at the towns and areas of and nikolai, as well as desa in southern ukraine, the mayor of the besieged, did you marry you? paul has called for the evacuation of all civilians trapped in the city. but even that bush and coast as around 100000 people remain trapped there. the european council president is calling about a fusion to allow access to the city of the several humanitarian corridors were cooled off due to potential dangers. russian forces continue to survey and still works in the city where thousands of ukrainian treatises civilians a hold up with a city surrounded under heavy attack. some maria full residents have been forced to

bury the dead in courtyards. many don't have the money to pay for funeral services or cause to carry bodies to cemeteries. people that have had little food, water, or heating for weeks. earlier this month, the city's mass had at least $20000.00 civilians have been killed. do you follow your people or sitting in basements from the district is being shown on the craters? the terrible cause? people have been killed, cooking fires, and others who were working their dogs were killed by shrapnel. ukraine's general staff says russian forces have increased attacks along the whole eastern front line, including in the hockey region, north of the dawn bus. a russian state news agency has released footage of what it calls an alms depth or in khaki that's been captured by the russian military rushes . defense ministry says the depth is filled with thousands of tons of ammunition are correspond. charles stratford spent the night at a ukrainian army field hospital close to the front line in the east and

a warning this exclusive report contains images. you may find distressing. ukrainian army medics carry a wounded soldier into a field hospital close to the front line. a piece of shrapnel has written through his side. the wound looks small, but the sharp, mental franklin inside will kill him if not dealt with fast. medics pump the soldier with anesthetic and pure oxygen. they prank the wound. you will be evacuated to a hospital further back from the front line to have the shrapnel removed. the team say some nights they have to treat up to 70 men wounded as they defend their positions against the russian army advance in a town close by. many of the medics have worked in foreign wars, owns the decades, but they never expected one day. they would be saving lives home. many of my whole professional life. i've been treating people. i love people. i love life in all

ways. i chose my field because death is the worst enemy rush and worse deed is that it turned me to the defender of life into a killer. i have had to shoot in this war at most likely. i hit the target some medic sleeping rooms next to the make shift trauma treatment area. before this shift starts, the shelves are full of medicine, vital for saving lives, but it's not medicine we need. well, the surgeons told me it's weapons. more soldiers arrive, nurses, prepare rehired ration fluid, others search for veins in the men's arms so they can fit candles and administer medicine fast. the men are exhausted and dazed. we are tired and show shocked, says the soldier. but it's to be expected. war a home. why must coco put on in the most common injuries from shrapnel gunshot was

blown off lin, brain trauma and shell shock with 3 child shock with simple symptomatic medicine. there's not much else we can do. another soldier is brought in with a gunshot wound under his arm. the magic's calmly clean the area. 55 year old louis ma seems relaxed, but the bullet was only millimeters away from potentially ending his life. lubo managed to have gunshot wound yesterday afternoon. the medics here say he is incredibly lucky. that bullet did not sever the archery in his arm. he will now go from have you taken from here by ambulance to one of the local hospitals further back from the front line for further treatment. some of the volunteers don't want to be identified because they say russian forces at targeting medics, treating ukrainian soldiers after being treated. louis man eats breakfast while

waiting to be evacuated before the war. he was a construction worker renovating the chernobyl nuclear plant capacity. their motor guys can get really close to us and they're difficult to see and shoot. they approach our trenches and throw grenades before lunch yesterday there were 50 shells that hit near our position. russian artillery shells and mortars talking ukrainian positions in fields close by. no one knows how many wounded will be brought to the field hospital and the hours ahead shall stuff down to 0 piece ukraine. frank led, which is a senior lecturer and military capabilities and strategy at the university of portsmouth. he here in the u. k. ga, fos, skype from oxford. thanks very much for being with us. we'll just start with how significant it is that this opened admission from, from the russians that they want to seize all of southern and eastern ukraine. laura and i wonder if this is flag flag to see what your action it throws out. but

if it's genuine, it's interesting for 2 reasons. first of all, this is the old region of nevada. you are looking to last francs now, which i just remember to see if we can get him back. i'm not sure if we, if he's back at all but not to did seem to freeze, we'll try and resend it. we establish chef. i'm interested in come back to me and in a moment. but in the meantime the you and human rights officers described the word ukraine as a horror story of violations against civilians. there is evidence of war crime scene. ringback and these include indiscriminate shunning and bombing are populated areas, summary, execution up to the dns. as i said, the vast majority of violations are attributable to the ration. if you just look at the city and casual, 92.3 percent of what we've managed records were recorded in government control

territories. so attribute to the rush or dental hamid has recently been to butcher near cave and describes what they found. where we spent a few hours at the more game boot and it's quite a overwhelming scene to take in because you do have these a refrigerated truck that arrive full of body bags. and then outside you have families, mainly women standing there waiting to know whether they loved ones are among these bodies that are being brought in. now a lot of these bodies i've been exude, they were hastily buried by people during the russian occupation of boucher and the surrounding areas. we also spoke to the chief of police. then he showed us some really gruesome pictures of the men who had been executed point blank, 5 of them or 6, were in the basement of a summer camp. others were found by the side of the road with their hands tied in

the back and shot in the back or shot in the head. and there's a very, very gruesome pictures. also, a group of young men who were tied, their hands died at the back shot and then burnt most of the body was charcoal. at that point, it was quite gruesome to say when you look at these pictures, you can only thing that those are probably probably war crimes are that what, what investigators would reach as a conclusion? the head of the u. n. is heading to russia on tuesday for talks with president vladimir putin and tony mate. harish also wants to meet the ukrainian leaders in keith, but has not yet confirmed a visit as part of a new push by the u inspector general to broker an end to the conflict. as our series diplomatic editor james bay's report. oh, the un secretary general antonio terrace is now going to involve himself directly in an effort to soul the ukraine war. on tuesday, he called for

a truce over orthodox easter, something that russia has not agreed to. but on the same day, he also sent 2 letters, one to the russians, and the other to the ukrainians, requesting that he should visit moscow and keep the 1st those trips will now be on tuesday. all we have on the agenda is his working lunch and meeting with the foreign minister and then his reception on later on, on the same day by president putin. you know, as he said in his letters to both presidents and he hopes to talk about what can be done to bring peace to ukraine urgently. the un say the trip to keep is still being discussed with diplomat speaking to me before the law scope as it was officially confirmed. welcome, the secretary general's new piece initiative. any effort to her to address this ongoing problem? but i think the big issue is to ensure that the russians abide by cease fire that they also allow for access to,

to civilians. but any effort to in the carnage is, well, you are absolutely delighted to see the sector general step forward. he has been very strong in his remarks to date. we now need to see action. and i think the suggestions that he put out there in terms of engaging both parties brings the you entered into the role that it properly assumes in its responsibility for international peace and security. before the start of the war, the secretary general had tried to meet press, potent, they were both at the winter olympics in china at the same time. then russian officials said it was impossible to arrange a meeting. now the 2nd general finds himself possibly involved in shuttle diplomacy between moscow and kiev. without doubt, this is the most important and probably the most difficult trip of his 5 years in office. james bayes al jazeera at the united nations olivia can return now to franklin, which is a senior lecture and military capabilities and strategy invest your portsmouth. and

so before we lost you, we were talking about the said, the russian general who's, who's now said that today, they want to seize all of for southern and eastern ukraine. and what that, what might lie behind that? yes, it's the old region of novel rossier, which means you russia, it's an old imperial term covering the crimea and that southern part of ukraine. and interestingly, just before the war, the russian ministers depends put, put out maps showing that area as russian. ah, which of course implies a landlocked place. that's the 1st thing that the 2nd a more positive aspect of it, call it that the credit perspective is it, it has outlined for us what the russian grand strategy will be here. and that will allow, i think, the long term planning the cravings, because the russians aren't going to be starting those operations to the west towards odessa, anytime soon. and, and you mentioned a day, so our difficulties are our destro nikolai, as to capture for the russians. if they do want to do what they say they want to do,

right, well they, they pretty much have a met alive in the, in the back about a month ago with that we do have enough, i guess is a much bigger target. it's a major city, of course the ukrainians. it's got iconic value. we won't be looking at that, i think as a potential target until the don bass operation is complete. and that's only just started not. i don't think it frankly, i don't think it's started. well, for the russians, and it's not really started at all, they haven't really, if they've got into any gear at all and not be on 2nd. so we're looking really months ahead for that phase of the operation long talk. it says more about that. what's happening in damascus, you say that it's not going as well as they wanted that so didn't seem to be overcoming any of the problems that they had in the 1st phase of the worse. as far as you think they will be pro well right now they're probing ukrainian lines. there are 3 or 4 towns that they're fighting and as we speak, the ukrainians approved themselves to be excellent at drawing russians into prepared positions of prepared defences. and so they're stuck in fighting in 3 or 4

towns. russians are making a small amount of pros progress. and as charles is report showed earlier, of course their leverage and their advantage or bunch for the moment in artillery, of course is very logistics dependent. so we'll see as this campaign goes on, but the russians can sustain as they couldn't in the north, the logistics and supply, particularly crucial when, when they're making up for a lack of manpower with fire power of artillery missiles. and what about ukraine? what sort of difficulties does it face in, if russia does focus on that eastern front more they, they understand the way the russians are going to fight, which is using artillery. now of course it's very, very difficult to operate against, by the way. one of the major functions of the recent american transfers that leads to which was announced yesterday is to offset the russians advanced advantage and artillery. so the ukrainians, what they're going to be trying to do will be doing of the last few years is for to

find their positions digging deep dugouts, creating spaces for to find areas into which they can draw russians. they've extensive lines. they've held them for some years and they understand what the russians are doing, but it be a major challenge to hold them off. when this offense it gets into its stride. and some of the reinforcements of the russians planning start to get fed back into the battle when they're ready over the next few weeks. and that you mentioned some the equipment that had been sent it is they're shifting what's being sent as a shift more towards heavy weaponry. and if so, how quickly do they need it? yes, very much a shift. lauren. the emphasis now is on artillery. and this will tell it are being sent will not be going to the front, i think any time soon, the credit selves may be trained on it. what is being done here is ukraine is forming new units. it's. it's going to be doing something that the russians will find very, very difficult, which is really gripping reinforcing and replacing units that were lost or subject to attrition. in this and this can't pay what the russians have been trying to do

over the last few weeks is, is trying to operate on the basis of a war of annihilation or back of annihilation. they failed. what the crane is giving them is a war of attrition. and that implies a continuing flow of effort, more effective weapons with which they can refit their army and use it possibly later on the counter attacks to retake ground. that's what the ukrainians are looking at. the medium term right now, which thank you very much and it says, thank you. thank you. russia has find google more than $130000.00 for failing to remove what it describes as fake information about the war and ukraine from its platforms. a russian court has found google guilty of committing administrative violations. the country's communications watchdog says google has been quote, spreading fakes on youtube, about russian troops, losses and civilian casualties. russia has been cracking down on unfavorable coverage of it's offensive,

and ukraine. people risk 15 years in prison for spreading information that goes against the criminal position. russia has opened a criminal case against a prominent opposition leader and activists accusing him of spreading false information about his military offensive in ukraine. to me, a car was called a criminal regime of murderers in an interview on friday, the russia ministry of justice listed him as a ukrainian agent. according to his lawyer, karen was a, was detained earlier this month and on friday was announced. he will remain in jail until at least mid june, on his case is being investigated. he faces up to 15 years in prison, if convicted, coming up on the news hour from london. ah, dozens, more palestinians are injured during confrontations with police in the alex and mosque compound a day or 2. former honduran president, one orlando hernandez, is extradited to the u. s. and your judge orders, his detention on drug and weapons, charges and world champion tyson fury weighs in per se heavy weight showdown gemma

ah has been another deadly attack in afghanistan after days of bombings, targeting mosques and schools, in several areas of last, as ripped through a mosque and religious school in the northern conduce province. taliban says at least 33 people were killed and 43 wounded. is not clear who carried out friday's attack. but i sals afghanistan. affiliate says it was behind bombings the day before, which killed at least 18 people of into the by here is a lecture at the american university of afghanistan. he says, such violence is likely to continue. one of the claims that the taliban made was that they had brought these 2 up and a son. unfortunately, others used to say that it wasn't peace that had arrived. it was just the absence

of war and that could only stay for so long. the idea is that the vacuum available, the feeling state right now are all contributors to the situation that are being exploited by groups such as ice cape. remember that 911 happened when there was a failing state with enough lana's thought when there was a vacuum of security with the new planet donna. and we're approaching that if the international community keeps on talking. the of hon. um, the other one country we will keep having more and more reasons for people to join insurgencies and, and unless the toddler bon do their bit, the international community sits down, compliments, non polar bond dissidence efforts to engage and dialogue with the taliban. we have to make something sustainable out of this because we are current fee. in the absence of war, we haven't entered beast, we need to good words of positive piece that is sustainable. that is prosperous for all of lanza, which currently isn't the case. the young group,

al bob says it was behind a blast that killed at least 6 people in the somali capital mogadishu, intact to place in the pescatore restaurant, which had recently opened on leider beach. al bob says it was targeting security officers and politicians, whether it's unclear if any high ranking officials are among the victims. and he's $57.00 palestinians have been injured in violence of the alaska acts and mosque compound in occupied jerusalem is ready for his fod robert bullets and tear gas at protest as hurling rocks and fireworks as they close to the western wall. incursions by ready forces and jewish ultra nationalists groups at the sight of spot, the recent unrest. i re faucet report from occupied jerusalem the 3rd friday of the muslim holy month of ramadan and more violence of the lock. so most compound palestinian protest as some flying hamas flags. enchanting support to the group through stones. it is really forces they fide rubber, bullets and stun grenades. and in a 1st at the sight dropped he gas from

flashpoints in occupied in jerusalem in 967. jordan and israel agreed that the works or is logic trust controls the compound. while israel controls external security juice, call at temple mount revering it as the holiest sites in the face. many gathered pray outside it at the western wall of the compound. it also contains 2 of his arms, holy sites, the alex, a mosque, and the dome of the rock. only muslims are allowed to pray inside the compound. the wax allows norma's limbs to visit the compound during set times 5 days a week under supervision. but tensions were inflamed by ultra right when jewish groups being allowed in during passover, palestinians are concerned the sites, mostly my dentist is on the threat by these groups increasingly entering the site and trying to pray that illegally. you know, as i was at the rally held in garza and supporter palestinians at the most compound

i just called l to per massive protest in the gaza strip in rage and solidarity in support of an up the month. and again, the wireless intention that is going on there, it says and sends a clear message to the is really government that be will not leave it up the most loan. and that does not divided nor separated from any since our escalation that is going on there, it is the same equation. it will sit here and it will defend up against all ryan, again, thing proven to visit all the players and the ongoing violence bite. i'll keep you posted in an up so doing the muslim worshippers in jerusalem, but another one about the public to come up hammock gave the opportunity for a diplomatic solution. if the zionist enemies, aggression and terrorism doesn't stop against the holy alex, a mosque, and the people in jerusalem. and this means that the battle is coming when the resistance has its finger on the trigger. and there is nothing to lose in order to

defend the acts or mosque by these protest here. today they had warned the actually protect up the mug and it to continue supporting it and just sending it with all they can. a to mark cease fire in yemen is giving aid groups the opportunity to reach millions of hungry yemenis. but there warning that childhood malnutrition will get even worse if fighting breaks out again in one district to loan in the northwest and hydro province. the norwegian refugee council says it's been able to give aid to 12000 people for the 1st time in 3 years. from 7 years of fighting in yemen has displaced millions and devastated the economy. warring parties agreed to a un broke a month to month truce. at the beginning of april we were really looking at a very pessimistic situation before the blockades were lifted and for the truce was agreed on. so we're, we're incredibly hopeful that this is

a much longer than 2 muff truce. i think the, this is one of the, the biggest opportunities for the country that we've seen, you know, in recent time. so it's, it's good for you, man, but it's also good for the monetary operations. there are so desperately needed to get up and running in the country. us more still to come. this ha, remembered for reviving 10 years economy when the president to mikey becky dies at the age of 90. well marks f day with london's warnings and a landmark agreement to guarantee protection for environmentalists and sport action from the k court tournaments across europe. chimera ah, with the spring storms. i think the

19921997 losing both times and saying the elections were rigged. an economist by profession as president, key back, he was credited with improving the economy, introducing 3 primary education, launching a new progressive constitution that allowed for devolution and expanding the countries infrastructure. he believed in institutions and rather lead institutions do their work. ah, well, there was room to delegate, a preferred delegation than doing everything himself. and thirdly, goodbye kid did not like chip talk. ah, and then to that extent, he was able to focus on what was important to the public as a whole. after dispute at paul in 2007 wacky baki was declared winna

post election violence that went on 4 months left. 1200 people that and many thousands displaced politicians from both the opposition and ruling party. what blamed for the chaos? it took international mediation and upon sharing deal to stop the fighting. that was one of the lowest moments of posting dependent kenya under his leadership. we as those who are in charge, lost on opportunity to really craft our kenya without negative ethnicity, to bring canyons together as one by the time the referendum was coming the $25.00 referendum. the country was already split. some people say the 20072008 election violence overshadowed the good key back his government did. in the fast 5 years in office. others argued that he did not do enough to reigning on corruption and tribalism, but many agree that when it came to development, democracy and the economy he out did both his predecessors. a u.

s. judge has ordered former honduran, president, one, orlando, an unders to be detained, pending a possible bail application. he appeared via video link in an eeoc court a day out, being extradited to the u. s. and others is accused of receiving millions of dollars from drug traffickers, while in office, from 2014 to january. this year around rosanna is live in new york for us. so what happened in an under his 1st quarter paris today? well, it's rare that you see a former president or head of state being drugged to the united states in handcuffs and facing justice. and that's exactly what we saw here on friday. hernandez 1st appearance here in federal court was via video link because of covert restrictions . it only lasted about 15 minutes or so, and he appeared on the video link and he only said a few words. yes,

your honor in spanish a few times when he was asked if he understood what was being said to him. it was a pretty quick appearance where the, basically the charges against him by the government were laid out charges of drug trafficking and conspiracy. u. s. government said that he was a, accuses him of being a major drug trafficker for well over a decade in honduras up in till even this year when he was arrested in honduras in february. now the arraignment will be scheduled for next month. but the bottom line is that this was his 1st court appearance now. and now we'll get to hear more as this case goes forward, of the charges get it, got brought against him. but bottom line is the government says they are going to be presenting evidence in the future. they say that will prove that he was in their words, central figure in one of the largest and most violent cocaine trafficking conspiracies

the world has ever seen. and what is un under his defense? well, he denies these allegations and he posted a video to his social media, his wife did, where he basically says that he's being set up by drug traffickers. and he's saying that he is actually the victim of all of this. he denies all the charges against him. but it should be noted, though that his brother has been found guilty of drug trafficking, serving a life sentence here in jail, in the united states for that. does that necessarily mean that one, orlando hernandez is a guilty as well? of course not. that will be up to the court system here in the united states. but bottom line is so that he is still saying that he's innocent and he's going to fight this all the way it really thank you very much. and he florida's
