ah, hello and welcome to the program. the united states has made its most serious condemnation, yet of russia's invasion of ukraine officially accusing moscow of crimes against humanity, demanding justice us mice present. comalla harris made the statement at the munich security conference, where world leaders are gathered ahead of their 1st anniversary of russia's invasion of ukraine. the u. s. had already accused rusher of war crimes, but crimes against humanity are considered much more serious under international law. in the case of russia's actions in ukraine, we have examined the evidence. we know the legal standards and there is no doubt. these are crimes against humanity

or ukraine's for minister also took to the stage in munich to reaffirm their call for more military aid. ammunition, artillery and tanks, but soldiers in the eastern city of baton would say they are still waiting for more promised western weapons to arrive. they say they are needed for a planned counter attack. backwards is right there on the front line and it's currently surrounded by russian troops. a diplomatic editor james vase had been following developments and munich at that security conference. again, strong messages of support for ukraine from the western leaders who have spoken here many saying they now believe this will be a long war. and the problem with a war of attrition is resupplied ukrainian forces. there's already a problem with ammunition, and particularly with artillery shells. the number of artillery shells being produced by western factories is not matching the number that are currently being

used by ukraine, particularly in the eastern part of the country. and that's an issue that i raised with the president of the europe, ian commission, sort of on the line was ukraine is concerned, i think very important is nothing about your queen without your claim. it's a sovereign country. ukraine itself has to decide when the time has come for them to make the next move. this is very important. we support fully and back fully as a piece plan of presidential ends, keith. and at the moment being 100 percent support focused on the survival of ukraine, military wise, that they are strong and economically wise. and again, nothing about your brain without your there's a problem though, isn't there about what ukraine needs. ukraine keeps saying it needs more. and one of the key things right now is ammunition. i'm told in terms of artillery shells they're using more than western factories are producing. how are you going to deal with that?

yes. what we're going to do on the european level is that we are convening the european defense industry. basically ask them, what is it, what you need to scale up to speed up. that's important. we have these infrastructure for that, the european piece facility, and they are used to do the procurement and to have the funding and important it's like we did with the vaccine to be very clear. this is a standardized production of ammunition. what is it, what you need to scale up and to speed up? we're going to give it to you. the latest discussion is, you know, is about fighter jets as route. this was a series of phases. ukraine is asked for something. europe is then spent quite a bit of time delaying, and finally gives it presents lens. he says it's all too slow. a much of the delays come from the country that you come from originally, which is germany, doesn't europe need to speed up as president lensky is. very clear, i'm standing here for the european commission. i'm the president of the european

commission. so it's a european voice. you're here in viet and your pin commission does not have any military capabilities. this is a sovereign decision of the member states, where i feel responsible is that we make sure that there is an economic survival of ukraine. so budget support we have given so far, 67000000000 of support to ukraine, and we will give more as long as it takes that's important. energy survival of ukraine is absolutely important. linked to the european level, where we make sure that they have the electricity and the energy they need. we've taken care of for 1000000 refugees from ukraine to all. these are my, my responsibilities. the delivery of military capabilities is a sovereign decision of the member states. with regards to the war and ukraine, there seems to be a growing consensus on one point. people here believe it's going to be a long war. united nations investigators visited ukraine several times

over the last year and say there is evidence that war. crimes were committed, says that ukrainian for civil rights have been responsible for rights violations, but significantly more crimes were committed by russian troops. the sasha butler visited the city of trinity have it's the scene of one of the most notorious incidents in the early weeks of the war. see aftermath of a russian attack in the northern ukrainian city of chandler heave, last year on the ground bodies of civilians. that been queuing outside a shop for bread when they were hit by shells and rockets. 15 people were killed, dozens injured. so you are standing around here without, with natasha narrowly escaped death that day by taking cover by this wool. she was in the queue with her son and mother in law. she plays me recording, she made on her phone. if you said this lot news, news agrees,

got we heard explosions near us. it was very close. and then we saw lots of people running everywhere. at the time, at the attack turned the he was a city under siege. russian forces were surrounding it and shelled it almost daily . they destroyed power and water supplies. evidence of what happened is still visible, lily everywhere. this is where people were lining up for bread that day. it is right in the middle of a residential area and we're prosecuted list that he says the what happened on that day is a war crime, an indiscriminate attack on civilians or on the property of coverage. law enforcement agencies consider this a war crying because the main victims were civilians. also a pre trial investigation found no evidence of ukrainian military hardware that could be a legitimate target weapons were used indiscriminately with school repair. it all, all this sir. mark thiel marks are the places of work, it's hit,

the buildings on may. the marina sla bought yoke works with the rights organization called truth hounds. that's helping prosecutors to build a case. it's collated, evidence amused, open source material, satellite imagery, and social media to reconstruct what happened. her team says it's traced the killings to a russian unit that was positioned on the outskirts of the city. we identified also the condo. this is sir cricket aleck, quicken who might be liable and responsible for this very kind of attack, whether o leg corrigan or another officer was responsible for the attack on the bread. you might never be proved. some investigators say he's back in russia. it's clear that building legal cases and prosecuting alleged war crimes is a challenge, but for some ukrainians, pursuing justice is at least one way of honoring the was many victims. natasha

me so all the about governance is part of the pain that my dance i go into, it says no juris returned to democracy night to night tonight we are state governors have invoice or becomes president with full access to state funds and resources. they can choose tended it for political office, anybody as bad to be president. of course, he will have to take roots to do go from those because of the, a connectivity of the governors, anti grassroots. but critics an activist say such power weiss harming democracy in governance in nigeria. and they wanted reduced limiting their powers to require amendment to the constitution and the electron more one with increasing number of governors getting elected into a parliament that's supposed to make strangers. neither is we'll have to wait longer for that to happen. so we're hoping these elections will mark a turn around with a woman. now the front runner for state governor posed

a big step in a male dominated society. but until then, little it's expected to change part to politics and governors in africa's most populous country. how many degrees al jazeera, my degree, scotlands long running push for independence from the united kingdom took a blow earlier this week with the short resignation of nicholas sturgeon, a scottish fuss minister, surgeon scottish national party has led the regions devolved semi autonomous parliament. since 2007, the s m p will announce a new leader by the end of next month, resort challenge reports from a capital edinburgh, a face major challenges keeping that dream of full independence alive. for years, nicholas sturgeon seemed as solid as off his seat. the ancient volcano that towers over edinburgh box, political and geological era's both end office seat stopped rubbing. 340000000

years ago. sturgeon's power disappeared with her resignation announcement last wednesday. good morning, everyone. so the scottish national party is now looking for a new leader and a new path. they are low in a state of flux, and the key question for them is what do you do about independence? what's the independent strategy? andy mckeever is a political analyst who watches scottish politics closely. it comes back to the decision that the u. k. supreme court made the backend of last year, where they said the scottish parliament did not have the power to hold a referendum by itself. nicholas surgeon, the answer to that question was what she called the defect to referendum. in other words, she boutique a national election like the general election that we expect next year. and she would turn that into a vote on independence. but many in the s n p, so this is too risky, and it looks like the tactic is now dead in the water. a special party conference where sturgeon would have argued for it has been called off for now. appetite for

an imminent rerun of the 2014 referendum is falling. and recent polls suggest pro independence has become a minority view. once again, nicholas sturgeon's exit may further erode support. i hope it does. why? because i want independent. you understand. so what are your hopes phase for? who's next to me, what i can do? i do come with quite a short last mistake. we'll put back the cause for independence because it's never been more than 50 percent. the doubt and those many of them will, i think, to stay in the union because we've lost the european union. we probably don't want to lose longest union in the world who have his next will have to reinvigorate the independence cause and friend off opposition, party sensing, and opportunity. the race for

a new s and p leader. and scottish 1st minister doesn't yet have a clear front runner candidates of until friday to wednesday. and then it's a 6 week contest where the members having until the end of march to make their choice. a choice that will usher in a new political age for scotland, rory challenz al jazeera, edinburgh, and 12 cheaters have arrived in india as part of an initiative to re introduce the mammals after they went extinct in the country. decades ago. the south african sheet as will join 8 from namibia who arrived last year. the big cat, 7 males and 5 females of the 1st of dozens that south africa has promised india over the next 10 years. as yet, cheaters became extinct on the indian subcontinent because of over hunting and a loss of their habitat. ah.
