ukraine as a horror story of violations against civilians, there is evidence mounting of war crimes being committed, and these include indiscriminate shedding and bombing of oxidative areas. summary execution up to the indians. as i said, the vast majority of nations by far are attribute to the russian forces. so if you just look at the civilian casualties bigger, 92.3 percent of what we've managed to record were recorded in government control territories. so attribute to up to the russian on how to have that. i mean has recently been to butcher near keith and describes what they found. well, we spent a few hours at the more game boots on is quite a overwhelming scene to take in because you do have these a refrigerated truck that arrives full of body bags and then outside you have families, mainly women standing there waiting to know whether they loved ones are among these

up towards the tropical north. there are a few showers just coming to the eastern shores of new south wales and said these have about $22.00 pers at $29.00. she was particular heat, but is really the north where i think that he significant development. so a hint here you are, you see a proper circulation would be a tropical low in the gulf or cafeteria, or the, your financial a wet time than for cans are all places further west. and in an surprising contrast, yes is right in the south of the new zealand, but most the time is looking fine in shelter. crossroads that 21 and north and on hold. looking reasonably good, lot of what was written home to tried to get a western board here. probably sumatra, maybe further south than that. but a good path. the philippines just see scratching a shaft there in cambodia. it looks fairly wet as it does for time. i think in southern india and sri lanka, ah,

but on counting the cost sri lanka, worst economic crisis in decades, what are the chances are a bailout? china is g d p growth beads 1st quarter expectations that could be economy grind to a halt and our high fuel prices pushing out demand for electric cars. counting the cost on al jazeera with bowl and, and home stories and asia and the pacific. analogies here. ah ah martin short stories, young i was 0,

ukraine's defense ministry as accused russia of imperialism after a russian general revealed. but moscow plans to seize all of southern and eastern ukraine. as far why to aim than previously acknowledged. the un human rights offices as growing evidence of russian war crimes and ukraine, introduce signs of indiscriminate shelling and executions and a blast as ripped through a loss and religious school enough, got a son's northern conduce province. taliban says at least 33 people were killed and 43 wounded. u. s. charges ordered. former honduran president, one, orlando anon, does to be detained. pending a possible bale application is a paid via video link in a new york court. a day after being extradited to the us and under is accused of receiving millions of dollars from drug traffickers, on an office from 2014 to january. this year is now 1st in new york. what happened in and under the 1st quarter pairs today was

a brief appearance lasted less than 20 minutes, and it's not every day that you see a former head of state brought to the united states in handcuffs to face the justice system here. but that's exactly what we saw when hernandez was extradited. arrived here in new york a little after 1 am on friday morning. he's now facing drug trafficking charges here in the united states. his court appearance, as you mentioned, was via video link. it was short. he only said a few words uttering yes, your honor a few times in spanish. when the judge asked if said to him other than that, it was a pretty quick appearance. the arraignment is scheduled for next month. but what we heard from here was the u. s. government lawyers laying out their case again, or at least the charges against hernandez saying that was responsible for hundreds of thousands of kilos of cocaine that was smuggled into the united states allegedly

government lawyers saying that hernandez was a central figure in the largest and most violent cocaine trafficking conspiracy. the world has ever seen their allegations by the government saying that he helped drug traffickers smuggle cocaine, giving them safe passage of getting their cocaine through honduras, and then through columbia and other countries to the united states. so these are the main charges against him that he will be facing moving forward in this very dramatic case. now, hernandez was the president of honduras from 2014 until 2022. but the government says that his drug trafficking, that he was part of dated back to 2004, and which is and under the defense well, he denies it in

a statement on social media before he was extra guided to united states, it was posted by his wife, he said that he is the victim, and he claims this is all a big conspiracy by drug traffickers against him. setting him up, saying that he extradited a lot of criminals from honduras when he was president united states. and this is, in his words, there payback this conspiracy that setting him up denies all of the charges against him. should be noted, however, though that hernandez, his brother actually was convicted of drug trafficking and spending life in prison here in the united states. that certainly doesn't mean that hernandez himself is guilty. nevertheless, he, his family does have a history of being convicted of drug trafficking. bottom line is, hernandez says, and his lawyer say that he as of now plans to fight this. but he will be spending time in jail here in new york as this judicial procedure moves forward. okay,

estimated 1000 activists have been killed in latin america. the majority in conflicts with mining land and agricultural interests. yeskis to accord aims to provide a mechanism for access to information, public participation and justice on environmental matters. if that would have been us going on with this agreement, it was born as a response to the urgent needs of our region. looks at that unfortunately has become the most dangerous region in the world. the longer for those who defend the environmental food have been planning and governor. the accord includes providing protection for those who denounce great violations, but a dozen latin american countries have yet to ratify the escort. so accord including brazil, columbia and peru, 3 of the most dangerous countries for environmentalists. the reason is the belief that a binding agreement would hurt economic interests. and the us and wish argues that

discuss who is in fact and contribution is not a threat to the private sector. and the answer is from us, is that know that this would provide more channels, 2 channels in those conflicts, environmental conference, that they are already there, that we have a lot. fittingly, the 1st is the sewell board meeting ended on earth day with a message that safeguarding the environment is not a choice, but an act of survival. see, in human al jazeera santiago, around the world, people be mocking earth day in different ways. in thailand, buddhist monks of lit $300000.00 ellie de lanterns and candles around a golden shrine that shaped like a spaceship. the lights were arranged in the forms of continents and buddha's amongst belong to the controversial de mikaya set known for its wealth and unorthodox teachings. and in beijing,

h. c has smashed atoms together to investigate what lies in them. now research is are hoping the revamp will unleash further discoveries that could unlock the secrets of the universe. for machine as complex as this, it's not a matter of just flipping a button. it involves a series of safety checks and tests to create enough energy that will produce data for experiments, a process that will take weeks. then the real work begins. and that includes the search for what lies beyond the visible universe. and even more exciting thing is to see if we can find dark matter because this is this cliche thing. if you look to the sky in evening, you see these 95 percent or your seat is 5 percent off. what's out there and it ought and 95 percent. you don't see. and he sees for us what we call the black matter. and we hope to have to to be able to discover hints of the existence i'm

and how to look for it. also, if the elite, while the next phase may bring about a discovery that could alter our perception of the universe, events on earth or having an impact on what strategy research is or having to take in light of rushes, invasion of ukraine. while son's council supports russian scientists have condemned the wor, no new collaborations with russia will take place. it has suspended the country's observer status. but it's really quite some important implications of the conflict in ukraine on material prices or energy prices. and of course, how we approach this strategically in the long term. so this, this, this thinks that there are concrete things to worry about. things that we really going to have to take seriously and couldn't do affect our sergeant program going forward. with so much anticipation, there is still the risk that scientists at sun may not uncover any new findings in

the next round of experiments. even so it may be too early to lose heart. so far, only a 10th of the total data they plan to uncover has been found in a universe that has yet to reveal itself. sunny diagonal i'll de zera ah. around the top stories on al jazeera, ukraine's defense ministry, as accused russia of imperialism. after a russian general told state media of plans to seize all of southern and eastern ukraine, the premium military says rushes stepping up attacks along the entire eastern front line, while also trying to mount and offensive in the hockey region. russian general rooster minnock, i have says moscow hymns to seize the.
