5:03 pm
to send approximately 15 minute drive. now this is not going to be an easy process because it wasn't just lebanese who are on the boat, but palestinian refugees and syrian refugees as well. and what we are understanding from talking to people here, excuse me, we're just going to have to get out of the way. is that some palestinians and some syrians are afraid to cross into syria. as you can imagine, those syrian refugees escapes war. some of them were involved with, with the opposition. i spoke to the minister of public works 11. he's minister of public works, who has been really following this file since the early hours of the morning. and he said the case of the palestinians and the syrians are no longer in his hands just now in the hands of general security. we're trying to get answers from the, from the red cross. we're trying to get answers from the i c r c from the u. n. h c r. we haven't been able to get an answer as of yet, but the numbers keep on climbing now. it's nearly 80 bodies that have been found
5:04 pm
from this, from the thinking. and as you can imagine, there's a lot of tension, anger, grief, people want the answers because yes, they do know that only a few people died, but they don't know whether or not their family members or friends were among, were among the victims, or whether or not they remain missing because there is no exact number on how many people were on that boat. just conflicting numbers, something 80 something 1120 as, as you can imagine. and this is also the human cost of lebanon's economic crisis. he told me about that earlier that you, you spoke to people here. these 2 things are absolutely link. however, however, he told me, people would be willing to get back on the boat, even seeing what they're seeing today. yes, this is, this was the 1st tragedy. yes. it's the deadliest but not the 1st. a few months ago,
5:05 pm
in april, a boat capsized after an altercation with an 11 needs navy navy vessel, and people remain missing. but still, after that incident, people still attempted to make the journey to europe. it just shows you the desperation. the economy has been in free fall since late 2019, and most of the people who attempt to make this journey or who you know, who try to reach europe live in the north of the country. the impoverished, the area of lebanon, they're saying that we can no longer put food on the table. we can no longer feed our children. of course, we're going to take this risk. we know what the risk involved and all the while the economy began to collapse in 2019, but politicians have done nothing to it for the, for the economy to recover. so there's a lot of desperation, and yes, you just talk to anybody here and say if there's a boat here right now, we're going to get on that boat and try our luck because living here really, it's a hopeless situation. they know what a reporting live on this unfolding tragedy in northern living on near the syrian

border. thank you. they know the investigation by the united nations has found evidence of more war crimes committed in territories occupied by russian forces in ukraine. investigators visited $27.00 towns as well as graves and detention centers in key inter, he's in harkey, and to me they say the evidence points to violations, including rate torture and confinement of children. they base their findings on interviews with a $150.00 victims and witnesses. gabriel elizondo is tracking the story from keith gabriel. this is damning and it is a very comprehensive assessment of what's been going on since the beginning of the war. it really is, and it's incredibly troubling as well among some of the claims by the un team they visited investigated these war crimes here in ukraine are,
5:07 pm
according to the un russian soldiers perpetrated rape and torture against ukrainian children. this was a un investigative team that was in ukraine in june for nearly 2 weeks. visited. more than a 100 different villages and towns on the north outskirts of keys, as well as in the northeast region. and said that they talk to many people, dozens and dozens of people, and concluded that there were war crimes perpetrated by russian troops when they were occupying certain towns before being kicked out by ukrainian forces during counter offences. they said that there were the crimes committed against ukrainians, aged from 4 years old, all the way to the ukrainian civilians up to 84 years old. now this is clearly
5:08 pm
a damning report by you and investigators that will also sort of back up what ukrainian war crimes investigators have been saying for months now. they have documented about 30000 cases of russian war crimes they say. so now this un report was certainly back up, some of that among the findings were that the, some of the victims remains that have been on earth, showed signs of torture and beatings before they were killed or died. what's interesting about this, as well as this report does not look into some of the newly liberated or newly areas that have been newly liberated in the northeast territories by ukrainian soldiers just within the last couple weeks. and there, there have been reports of our russian war crimes is there as well. so there could
5:09 pm
even be more than water in this un report. important to point out that russia long denies participating in any sort of war crimes or targeting civilians. but clearly, the evidence is starting to stack up, at least from this un report against that. and clearly there has been gabriel is under reporting life and key. thank you. moscow control regions in eastern and southern ukraine are voting on whether to become part of russia. the referendums are taking place in the hands in done yet skins apparition and in her son, which together represent about 15 percent of ukraine territory. hundreds of thousands of people have until tuesday to cast their votes and keep in its western allies say that this is a sham and an unlawful land grab. hold up the mead is near pro cross can ukraine? it is difficult to get the full picture of how is this referendum that was only called for about 3 or 4 days ago. how in the, in that short span of time,
5:10 pm
they were able to put all of that together, especially that is happening in 4 different regions in the south and the east of the country. now from what we understand and from the little information we're getting in some areas like in his own, for example. and apparently, according to the governor of lugens, the ukrainian governor of lou ganske day, people are going around with these ballard boxes. 2 flats, 2 houses, telling people to vote. he says that there's also a lot of intimidation that whoever says no, then has his name registered in a different note book for further repercussion. so it seems that you know, people are either staying at home because after all, this is a referendum that is happening in a war zone and the shelling is continuing or people simply don't want to vote that a few people who are left because you have to remember that by and large,
5:11 pm
the populations as civilians in those areas have fled because of the danger of being there because of the explosions because of the war. and many of us told us also because they didn't not want to live under russian occupation. now anyone i spoke to was coming out from those regions to me that they believed anyway that the result will be yes. they didn't believe that they would be a vote. they said that we haven't even heard about it. no one came to tell us, there were no preparations, nothing on the ground. finland is considering boring. most russians from entering the country. official se, traffic at the border has sharply increased since president vladimir putin ordered a partial military mobilization. finland is one of the few entry points into europe for russian citizens after a number of western countries imposed restrictions because of the invasion of ukraine. iran's army is warning that it will confront what it cause enemies that says protests continue against the death of a 22 year old women in police custody matter. many died last week after being
