civilian targets here. apartment blocks, schools, pharmacies, the church, and so certainly a very desolate picture. and then these are now as investigators, as i'm looking through what happened at talking to people. they discovered this mass burial size at least $440.00 graves. there are some of them, apparently, with more than one person buried in the same plot. and investigators have to sift through all of this to figure out what happened is certainly a place where you really see the real tall of this war that the city that has been besieged. it has been bitterly fought between the 2 sizes now firmly under ukrainian control. the soldiers are on. you see them roaming this trees, but this barely any sign of life. you as president joe biden has warned russia against using chemical or nuclear weapons in ukraine. he also said in response to

. s. has seen absolutely no evidence that russia is preparing for a tactical nuclear attack in u crane. it has no preparations. he doesn't even feel that it's plausible. the vladimir putin would make such a move in the current circumstances. in fact, there was some reporting in the new york times. that is, ministry officials felt that far from being corner, there are plenty of conventional weapons and tactics far more brutal. the boot patient hasn't used yet. so there is not feeling that he's in a corner state. there is a debate about what would potentially make russia use is nuclear arsenal. william burns, in april. the ca director said it was if russia felt it was under the extra extra central threat. he gave the example of nato militarily getting involved on the ground or mass in ukraine, about something that the, the u. s. is trying to avoid giving the perception of, to russia,

that this is now just simply an all out proxy war between the u. s. and nature and, and russia, and that's one of the reasons why joe biden is refusing to gives and then ski the long range missiles he keeps asking for which could potentially be used against russia. that according to a lot of reporting and sources, is what joe byte fills could be potentially a red line where russia would suddenly fail. wait, this is now an extra central threat. us house we can, nancy pelosi is arrived in the armenian capital. your event. just days after the latest outbreak of fighting with neighboring as the by john, the 2 sides have been in conflict for decades over the disputed region of nego and about now police. he's travelling with a delegation including california congresswoman and jackie spear is of armenian, defend the armenian american community, as called for more political focus on the crisis. and people have returned to the 1st village, rebuilt, and as by john since the 2020 war with armenia. now, despite

king charles has taken over his mother's role as the head of the commonwealth. the organisation is comprised of 56 member countries that are mostly former territories of the british empire. but as nadine baba reports, the future of the association is far from certain we shall be able to make of this ancient commonwealth, which we all love so dearly and even. and the thing for then, princess elizabeth, on her 21st birthday talking about what she called the great imperial family seem to be formalized as the commonwealth of nations. the queen arrives in agra, about 120 miles from dennis in the following decades. the thing she was said to be proud his door was nurturing and expanding about the family. and just days after her death, king charles was meeting representatives of commonwealth countries in buckingham palace assigned to the importance attached to his role as head of the organization . just down the road from buckingham palace is mobar, a house official headquarters of the commonwealth secretariat. now the buildings,
