ah. hello, we begin this news hour with the war in ukraine. russian soldiers are accused of beheading a captured ukrainian soldier in a video president valadez lensky said b acts will not be forgotten nor forgiven. moscow says the footage needs to be verified. we have to correspondence on the story. dorsey jabbar is in moscow, will speak to her in a few minutes. but 1st let's bring in jona. hall was joining us from a keep. so what more we learning about this a legit incident. jonah? well i can tell you that this video makes. ready for particularly grim view, certainly not fit for broadcast. we can't independently verify the video. although it is be widely taken up on social media here in ukraine and the government ukraine certainly is treating it as though it is genuine. in fact,
4:03 pm
there are 2 pieces of video, the 1st appears to show the beheaded corpses of 2 ukranian soldiers lying beside the destroyed military vehicle. the 2nd video, much more graphic, appears to show a russian soldier torturing a ukrainian soldier before beheading that soldier. and it does appear that there are signs that this soldier may have been alive at the point where the beheading begins. as i say, can't be verified this video, nor can we verify its contexts. the units involved when it took place where it took place. although the particularly sort of lush green foliage, the 2nd video suggests the timing might have been well before the turn of winter last year. in turn, international reaction has been pretty swift. the un here in ukraine has called it appalling. the european union says if confirm this video is yet another brutal reminder about the inhumane nature of russian aggression and reiterates its firm
4:04 pm
commitment to holding all perpetrators and accomplices of war crimes. to accounts that, of course, has been a pretty vociferous reaction from the ukrainian political leadership here, the foreign minister accusing or comparing russia to islamic state off this heading video. and president zelinski releasing a statement calling on all the world leaders to react. he said, don't expect this to be forgiven. we are not going to forget is what he has to say . efficient seat, there's something that no one in the world can ignore how easily these beasts kill this video. the execution of the ukrainian captive, the world must see it. this is a video of russia, as it is the kind of creatures they are. there are no people for them. a son of brother, husband, he someone's child. this is video of russia trying to make this a new norm such a habit of destroying life. let's not bring in dorothy jabari,
4:05 pm
joining us from moscow to tell us whether there's been any russian reaction to the accusations about this be heading door so well, according to the kremlin spokesperson dmitri pesca, that this does need to be verified, but he did call it appalling and very disturbing, this is the only reaction we've had so far from any of the officials here in moscow . but of course this is not the 1st time that the russian military has been accused of carrying out the legit war crimes. during this conflict said the main one being that the events that took place in the town of boucher last march, there was a lot of evidence. the ukrainian government claimed that the russian military carried out what they believed to be war crimes. and the russians for their part said that the footage was altered and edited to create the illusion that those crimes were committed by the russian military. but for the time being during, at,
4:06 pm
for this latest video, that service, that the officials are waiting to see when it can be verified before they comment any further resorts. and on another note, there have been changes, digital changes that is to the call up, the conscription procedure in russia. what's that about? well, the new law that's just been passed by the upper house of parliament in this country has seen some major changes that will come into effect. as soon as the president signs it would, then it will become law. what it means is now men between the ages of $18.27 who are past with the adding a mandatory military service of one year in this country will no longer have to wait for an actual physical letter from the defense ministry before they have to report to one of the facilities within 20 day period. once their information is uploaded on the federal database, they will be automatically prevented from leaving the country. and they will have to report to a facility belonging to the defense ministry within
4:07 pm
a 20 day period. if they don't, there are further restrictions that will be placed on them. now, there was 163 members of the upper house who voted in favor of this. and one senator who was against that she voted no and her comments were to the long lines of that these new changes are unconstitutional. she points out the fact that there are many, many restrictions that will come into force if a person is not able to report to one of these facilities within the water period of time. for the time being at the kremlin says, this is an attempt by the ministry to try and facilitate them or smooth and calm process when it comes to the enlistment process. but have to point out that just because somebody is taking part in the military mandatory service doesn't mean they will be fighting on the front lines in ukraine. this just means that they will be taking part in their military service for the period of one year. all right, thank you. dorothy dorothy jabari reporting from moscow. me and mars jones has

4:20 pm
a region, the region of mecca, where there has been fighting in the past few months between iso and the local arcade affiliate, the thought of the slumber mister mean. and it comes at a time where there's been a severe drought in the region where the villagers around the city of may not come . went to the city, looking for water. and now they're stuck there because the city in the north has been taken over by iso fighters. now this would have been impossible a year ago. why? well, because minute car was the headquarters of to cuba, which was the headquarters of european special forces that were there to help them all the enforces they have since left. and now the situation, the security situation is deteriorating. and so the people that are in this city that was once populated by just 10000 people, while the population as well to 30000 people during and they have nowhere to go,
4:21 pm

4:23 pm
molly's june to hired russian mercenaries from the wagner group to support its own troops, un independent human rights experts accused fighters from wagner, of carrying out extra judicial killings and torturing people in molly they are meant to protect. and so the un security council is meeting to discuss the future of the mission. at stake is the fate of a people seemingly alone and vulnerable in the face of mounting violence. the un secretary general antonia good terrorist has criticized malia and molly's military agenda ahead of this un security council meeting in a statement. he said that he urged a return to a civilian rule. now elections are supposed to take place in february 2024, but he also said that he deplored what he described as the persistent paralysis in the peace agreement that was signed in 2015 with many of the arm groups. not respecting the peace agreement and continuing to fight in the north in the center
4:24 pm
of the country. he deplored what he described as or he denounced what he described as a climate of deep mistrust. so this un security council that will be chaired by russia, a close ally to molly will. that will be the issue at hand. who to trust to is the you it will that un peacekeeping mission be able to deliver on its mandate? that's what the molly and people want, or the molina authority want. whilst the un peacekeeping mission want to see the molina authority keep to its promise. all right, back to you during. thank you so much because hock reporting from the car. well, it's time for the weather now with rob mccully and news of an approaching sy clone in australia, southeast asia, and the wars of the north west of australia to an very active just recently this massive cloud. he isn't just a master cloud now, properly named tropical psycho and quite a strong while now. it's still building the moment,
