a police in key if say all allegations of war crimes committed by russia will be fully investigated. and written about off told al jazeera police, a sharing all information gathered with international prosecutors. allen fisher reports a merit gay where investigators uncovered a mass grave last month. they are the almost forgotten victims of the early days of the war. and ukraine. you haven't. wasik has kept watch as they stand in an anonymous freezer van in an anonymous car park. in this unit alone, 12 bodies still not identified still not claimed by their loved ones. with us have typical her. we would like to buy these people. it is a long time. they have been lying here more than 3 months. it is a common key and they had sucked. they cannot, i didn't find the body simply by looking of them. many people left for other countries. so they sneaked him. so lying here on claim in other units near by 30 soldiers and another 140 other civilians, some recovered from deep in

a nearby forest. the russians built their positions in this wood facing towards cave when they were forced to withdraw. that's when investigators moved in and the phone one mass grave and they think around here, there will be many more just last month, ukrainian forensic teams phoned the site and started gathering evidence. they pulled 7 bodies from a tiny grave, each victim shot in the head. and dumped their crime being meal and old enough to fight against the russians. even versak was there that day, helping out, watching the ground give up its secrets, run itself among at the moment to sleep. okay. but when i examined the body, so children didn't, even though they are not my children, and i do have 2 children. it's horrible because even his alcohol, i can get it out of my mind for quality. those dimensions. from each victim, they've taken dna one day. the family might claim them, give them a proper burial. the man heading the police investigation into what happened,

told me no matter how difficult these crimes must be investigated. took a puzzled rebel are worth in. this should be important, not just ukrainians, but to the whole international community. this is very important, the same as the investigations into what happened during world war 2. we must investigate the army of the russian federation, the army commanders. this message should be delivered. the bodies will sit for a few more weeks, then they will be quietly buried. but for now the sit silent. witnesses in an investigation into war crimes and murder, allan fisher, al jazeera murat, scott, ukraine, and russian president vladimir putin assigned a decree to fast track russian citizenship for ukrainians. a document published on the government's website details the streamline naturalization process to anyone with ukrainian passport citizenship was previously only offered to ukrainians in russian control regions. in other news,

the opposition parties in sri lanka were holding negotiations to form a new unity government on saturday protest, a storm, the residences of president and prime minister in colombo, demanding both leaders, resign. present go to buy a raja pac sir. and prime minister ronald vicar m a singer, has been blamed for the nations worst economic crisis in 7 decades. the government has been unable to pay for a central imports of food, fertilizer medicines, and fuel. when l fernandez as more from colombia. and despite the seeming chaos and free for all, you can see that there are still certain structures and systems that are in place. if you just look behind me the line of a military personnel guarding entrance to the presidential secretary. obviously, a certain section of it that takes you to certain offices and things like that are, this is very different. the steps that takes you to a different section, obviously, which people are being allowed, a little bit of freedom to go explore. we need a new system, we need a new governance,

we need new prov. you new proper leaders. so to deviate, to change that, and to bring this mission of a country to a stable position via onto the avia fighting on to the end. and this is where the protest all are started in terms of the go to go campaign. it was a campaign to see the exit of president go to albert roger boxer for 3 months just down the road. they set up camp and they stayed there. and just a few days ago, this office, the president's office was over on now, as you can see, all around me, there's hundreds of people milling about. and there are cues waiting to go inside. obviously, there's just a certain section that people are being allowed into. another historic building, it's served as the country's 1st parliament as an amazing chamber. so people are taking the chance to go have a look. her reflect conditions that so the un describes the state of thousands of

children living in conflicts earns and a report. and so the countries where kids struggled the most last year were afghanistan, the democratic republic of congo, israel, and the okay, by palestinian territory, somalia, syria, and german. well, if you're peer mozambique and ukraine were mentioned, as areas of particular concern, report found that there were nearly $24000.00 violations against children last year that $65.00 a day. a 1070 children were killed or maimed by explosives minds, while 6310 were recruited and used in conflicts. there was a 20 percent jumping, abductions and sexual violence. an increase and attacks on schools and hospitals are diplomatic, as a james base has more from the united nations headquarters in new york. it is always controversial when this report comes out every year because the report, this is, it comes out listing all the evidence of abuse is death's wounded children around the world in complex, around the world. but at the same time,

the security council requires the un, the secretary general to come up with a list. and the back of the report has an annex, which is the black list which says which countries in which our groups are responsible for killing and wounding children. and that is the controversial bait because you can read the body of the report and what it says about all these different complex. and then you can look at the list. and some of the perpetrators that i mentioned in the report are not on the list. i'll give you the 2 notable examples. number one is the situation in yemen. well, most of the parties, the war in yemen are on the list. but the saudi led coalition, which, according to the report, killed or maimed, a 100 children. you have any children in the last year is not on the black list. if you look at the situation regarding israel and palestine, they're neither israel or any of the palestinian groups are on the list. even though the report stresses that some 86 palestinian children were killed in the

year, i put this point to the u. n's, special representative of children rom, convict, virginia gamba. and she said to me, they decided not to include israel because most of those that died. most of the children die died in the 10 day period when garza was being bombarded. but i can tell you human rights groups don't accept that. they say that the report is good, it's good work by the un, but the list that comes is politically motivated and some countries are able to use political pressure to keep their names off the list. and that undermines according to human rights activists. the credibility of the whole project still ahead allow just a rep. japan's prime minister promises to increase from the tree spending and work towards the menu. the constitution after winning a sweeping majority. margin tina's former president is back in court, and corruption charges will the outcome damage her chances and next year's presidential election. ah,

it's not that offer. we can trace the real front to the monsoon rains as it comes from pakistan across the re been peninsula. but i think you can argue that it definitely what it is. and when it came across with the rain proper came across burst in pakistan about 5 days ago, produce flooding. also in a mom's big thunderstorms, appliances were proper rain at low levels. that's the tail end of it. now in the southwest, the saudi arabians abuse, thunderstorms and some flash flooding in the masses of western saudi and down in yemen. otherwise we're back to normal with one or 2 showers may be up in the north of a month. the rest of the, the middle east right up to turkey is what he expected to be in a fairly hot in places particularly wrong, but probably not extreme for the most part. the winds out last, john, the onshore breeze in turkey in egypt,

keeps it reasonably cool. on the coast in turkey, significantly cold, i think on the eastern side and probably georgia underneath that rain. so that's the big picture. then during wednesday, if you follow that line a shout from yemen, you come across air tray, or more, especially ethiopia, sudan, and south sedan and the central african republican. some shouts might reach kenya, very interested in somalia, even this here is only a hint of rain. just coming ah . busy how much will we have to pay you for the girls? i wonder reached, of the scale modern slavery in the u. k. is enormous. we just seen the tip of the iceberg, or something called the modern slavery. i just been surrounded with conroe student point. so money, so i haven't companies need to thought to understand that this is exploitation. if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. and there are some very,

very knows to people at the al jazeera investigates britain's modern slave trade. lou ah, you are watching al jazeera reminder of our top stories this our, the un security council mandate for life saving a deliveries between turkey and northwest syria has expired, but millions of lives at risk last week, russia veto, to resolution, to extend the shipments for another year in bosnia herzegovina ceremony is on the way to berry 50 bodies of newly discovered victims of the separate needs of genocide. 8000 was that men and boys were murdered by both the and said forces in the town of short, benito, in 1995 negotiations are happening in sri lanka to form

a new unity government. it comes off to protest as occupied the residences of the president and prime minister. i'm refused to leave the u. s. president joe biden says a new law aimed at reducing gun violence. won't save every life, but it will make a difference. the so called safer communities act is the most significant u. s. anti gun legislation since 1993. it was approved with bipartisan support following a mass shooting at a school in texas. in may, will as go now to mike hannah is outside to the white house of mike, what a show bite and hoping to achieve in this new law. well, to put it bluntly, president biden hopes that the new law will save lives, and that's what he said in his speech at the celebration that occurred here in the morning. attending the celebration, we're friends and survivors and relatives of those who've been killed in the spate of mash shootings that have happened in the united states. the last just

a week ago in highland park near chicago. president biden making very clear that he welcome this bipartisan legislation, not least because of its bipartisan nature, but also insisting that the legislation doesn't go far enough. in particular, he referred to the nonexistent ban on assault weapons. this is something that he had been asking for. this is something that congress could not agree on. so, as the ownership of assault weapons remains, president biden insisting that a ban at total ban on assault weapons would help save lives. 9 just as the at wide gun legislation package should do, but he also in vote a disturbing statistic. this is what he said. guns are the number one killer of children in the united states. more the car accidents, more than cancer. and over the last 2 decades,

more high school children have died from gunshots than on duty police officer and active duty military combined. think of that. now we can't just stand by. we can let it happen any longer. with rights come responsibilities. yes, there's the right to bear arms. we also have a right to live freely without fear for our live, like an in a country where gun ownership is so contentious, so controversial and divisive. how is all of this being received by the nation's powerful gun lobby? well, the gun lobby has been insistent that even this limited legislation that congress managed to agree on is to match, have the gun lobby insisting that it's an infringement on 2nd amendment rights. president biden, making clear in his speech that this is simply not the case. in fact, during his speech, he reiterated that he himself has 4 shotguns in his home to belong to him,

to belong to his deceased son bow. but making very clear that he as the responsible gun owner, those weapons remained locked up all the time. he was trying to emphasize that his actions against gun violence do not or not intended to infringe any 2nd amendment, right, whatsoever. he doesn't see, for example, that a ban on assault weapons as infringing a 2nd amendment. right. but the gun lobby will continue to argue, it's largely a political issue to with more rob republicans insisting that any gun legislation and fringes 2nd amendment. right. which is why congress could not agree, for example, on a total ban on assault weapons or high capacity magazines. but this is what president biden insists is needed. and he also said, while the red flag laws, the new ones are welcomed in terms of which states are able to invoke a red flag laws for somebody who's been guilty of crimes in the past. if we just

take an example from a week ago at highland park in illinois, there a go to the shooter in that particular occasion, had been cited by police on a number of occasions before buying a number of high capacity rifles. so even where there are red flag laws in place, there is still a problem if states don't apply them. so there's a plethora of issues here which press and bite and says he'll continue to fight his basic line here is that the bipartisan legislation should not be seen as the end of the matter. it is rather the beginning of a process to put in substantial gun reform legislation. mike, many thanks. mike had over the white house. so 21 people have been killed in 3 separate shootings over 3 days in south africa. spark and calls for police to crack down on violent crime. 15 people were shot dead in a tavern or the township of sweater on sunday for died in a separate shooting and peter merits burgess hours earlier. and 2 were killed and 2

injured in a bar, shooting and cattle. hong the 3 attacks are not believe to be linked the body or foreman japanese prime minister sion. so abby has arrived at the tokyo temple. his wake will take place at the so georgie temple on monday evening, the funeral for family and close friends on tuesday. abbe was assassinated, while campaigning for local elections on friday. police of acknowledged security lapses were prime minister female casita has vowed to continue working on shin. so abbeys, campaign promises abbey moodle, saudi. nor will you inheriting abbeys, legacy, especially the constitution amendment, which he put so much of as if it and to i will work on challenges that our bay could not solve on his own. but on that he thought he mule smith. i'll continue working and bring a bright future to our beloved comfortable hand, which our bay loved to. we need to pass this legacy to the next generation. you know more. michael pans, the owner of the she gets the news agency. he says,

constitutional reform in japan isn't guaranteed despite the election result the ruling party together with its coalition partner, a committee to have had the super majority in both houses for during some time actually during all days premiership. and even though he is a strong advocate for the constitution revision, he never really made a serious effort to do it. the reason was, is it just would take that would cause the spending of a lot of political capital. you know, it's not an issue that the public itself has any consensus on and so it's difficult prospect. so in order to change the constitution, you do not only 2 thirds in both houses, but then there needs to be a referendum that goes to the people in which a majority supports whatever the proposed revision is. and on that side, it's not never been clear, the japanese public would vote for it. so the situation now, yes, that's the sort of the within the ruling party, i think the momentum to try to change the constitution is,

is stronger than it has been. but on the other hand, one of the people who may be more somewhat leery about this is actually prime minister fully okey shita himself because he's not from that wing that's been calling for the original constitution from the other wing the moderate way. so the question is, how much is he going to go along with the right wing of his party wants this? and how much is he going to going to try to sort of divert it? so even though they have the super majority in the upper house, it's not at all clear that they can 1st of all agree upon a specific text. and that the prime minister is really going to push it the governing policies. victory pay was the way for possible changes to the pacifist constitution, which would strengthen the military role and the global chaise. prime minister premier casita hasn't said how much this will increase in cost. but at the moment, japan spends one percent of g d, p on defense, but a financial roadmap passed by parliament last month, hinted it could double this amount. he,

she did promise is to provide at least $2000000000.00, the maritime equipment to indo pacific countries. japan's constitution was drafted after the 2nd world war and does not allow it's defense forces to deploy abroad. but legislation passed in 2015 allows its forces to support allies in foreign conflicts. broad gossamer is the deputy director of the center for rule making strategies at tama university in tokyo. he says japan is looking to raise its defense profile on the international stage. there's been a shift in japan over the last few years to sort of job. it's engagement on defense and security matters. this reflects a broad based agenda by the conservative government as well, by a sense that to be a partner and a better supporter rule based order that japan has to do more. and so you've had long talk about reaching that 2 percent threshold in the united states has pressed its allies, particularly in europe. japan is recognized at one percent limit that it's adopted . it's always been policy not right, not, not necessarily

a lot and it stopped it. so the japanese in an attempt to do more in the world and in the region and to demonstrate to other countries that they should be concerned about. japan as well is now thinking about that 2 or 2 percent doubling, but that'll be over a significant period of time, perhaps up to 10 years. and it will include spending that we may not perhaps consider strictly related to defense election results have created a 2 3rd super majority in the parliament is prepared to discuss and consider amendment. but what specific amendments are still all lot left to be done? the race to replace boris johnson is british prime minister is shaping up to be a tough contest. so far, 11 candidates of launch leadership bids including former chancellor richie sooner. former health secretary such a jeff eat is also in the race. all contenders are expected to join. what will be a 2 stage election process? wouldn't want to damage anybody's chances by offering my support. i just have to not to get online. i have to get on in the last few days, a weeks the,

the job of the constitutional function of the prime minister in this, in this situation is, is to discharge the mandate to continue to this job mandate. and that's what i'm doing. the final phase of the corruption trial of argentina's vice president is getting underway. when sarah's christina, the coach, there was a key use of profiting from dozens of contracts for public works were allegedly awarded at inflated prices. 12 others were on trial, alongside home. verdicts were expected by the end of the year. daniel shambler has more when a series, even if she is found innocent of the charges are, is of a complex case. and as a people will be watching, it is going to be several more hours of testimony. so as those results come out of the information comes out, people will make their judgments. but i think as i say, the country is divided. those who support christina kitchena will say that this is a politically motivated to trial against her. that is what she says,

that there are elements in the very judicial system which is bringing the trial. this is a judicial system that her and her government wants wants to reform. they will continue to support her no matter what. those who believe that she's guilty irrespective of the outcome of this child, will continue to believe he's guilty. they've been accusing her of corruption since she was in office. so that won't change. i don't think it will what she outcome of the trial. but the divisions are already kind of i think, very firmly sat in argentine society. portugal government has declared a state of heightened alert after wildfires swept through central and northern parts of the country. thousands of firefighters are trying to extinguish the flames . thousands of people have been injured. portugal is expiring and intense heat wave would temperatures topping 40 degrees celsius in such a range over the past 24 hours in western india have flooded homes in low lying areas of good. your are to my roster states rescue teams were sent to the city of

vall side where locals were stranded by fast rising waters. it comes just weeks out of millions of people impacted by flooding across ne, in india and bangladesh. an investigation by a group of international journalists into transport giant goober, has revealed the aggressive tactics the company use during its global expansion. the group found the company leveraged angry protest from the taxi industry to its advantage. the documents reveal how the company secretly lobbied governments and evaded regulatory authorities. huber hasn't denied the allegations, but says changes have been since made. ah, this is al jazeera, these are the top stories. a un security council mandate for life saving a deliveries between turkey and northwest syria has expired, putting millions of lives at risk. last week. russia vetoed a resolution to extend.
