nor forgiven. moscow says the footage needs to be verified. shawna hall is joining us from keith to tell us what more we're learning about this alleged incidents. i can tell you that these videos, there are 2 of them. in fact, that emerged overnights make for extremely gruesome viewing, certainly not fit for broadcast. they can't be independently verified, although the ukranian intelligence seventies are launching an investigation to try and find out more about the circumstances around them. they've gained a lot of traction on social media and you can use government is treating them as though they are genuine to videos. as i say, the 1st one appears to show to be headed ukrainian corpses, the corpses of ukrainian soldiers next to a burnt out vehicle. the 2nd video, much more graphic shows russian soldiers, one in particular, who appears to be torturing a ukrainian soldier, a prisoner of war, or say,

before beheading the soldier. there are signs in the video that the soldiers, in fact, alive at the point. but the heading process begins, as i say, videos can't be independent, be verified, nor can we verify their circumstances, the context in which they took place where they happened. or when know though the lush green foliage, particularly the 2nd video, suggests that the time of year would have been sometime before the winter. last year. reaction has been swift coming in international reaction, as well as local reaction. the un here in ukraine says it's pulled by this video. the european union says that if confirmed these videos are yet another brutal reminder about the inhumane nature of russian aggression. reiterating the use firm commitment to holding all perpetrators and the campuses of war crimes to account ukrainian government officials have spoken the foreign minister dimitra could

a but comparing russia to islamic state. and of course, president ski has released the video statement calling on all world leaders to react. as you mentioned, they're saying don't expect it to be forgotten. we are not going to forget is what do you have to say efficient? you see 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 the video of russia trying to make this a new norm, such a habits of destroying life. dorothy jabari has the reaction from moscow. well, according to the kremlin spokesperson dmitri pest, because this was, his, 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 conflicts at 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 believe 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, for this latest video that surfaced, the officials are waiting to see when it can be verified before the comment any further on me. and mars genta has admitted that it carried out the air attacks by killed more than a 100 people on tuesday. it says those killed in the village of procedure where fighters and the people's defense force and a legitimate military target. but as tony chang reports,

evidence from the scene suggests most of those killed were civilians. many of them children. just the warning, this report contains disturbing images to people shelter in a ditch. the sound of heavy caliber gunfire can be heard in the distance. the sound of an army firing on its own people and the frank admission from the spokesman for the military government on state tv. whereas with our bio, yes, of course we launched the attack on them. we were informed that pdf were killed at new event under the attack. they are opposing our government. we met major generals omen turn 3 weeks ago in the capital navy door, and asked him about similar tags that have killed schools of civilians. he said then as he does now, these are legitimate military targets and those killed a competence. but new and distressing footage from the aftermath of the attack

shows bold is that clearly those of children. as corpses are removed from the area, the death toll has risen to more than 100 people, the highest number killed in a single events since the crew. the final number of those who died may never be known because of the severity of the attack. al jazeera asked the exiled unity government, whether this is likely to stop our groups fighting against the gentle route. we started our revolution with basic hunting rifle. so this is an unfair fight in many ways. but the military's weakness is that they don't have the manpower and there's no support from the people. targeted sanctions from the us and u. k. to try and cut off supplies of fuel from mere mas air force seems to be having little effect on the military government affairs set on a scorched earth policy. tony chang al jazeera,

bank of italy's cabinet has announced the state of emergency on immigration. the move follows the sharp rise and the number of people crossing the mediterranean. more than 31000 people have arrived in italy so far this year. that's more than 3 times the number for the same period in 2022. more than 440 people died trying to make that crossing between january and march, un says delays in government lead, search and rescue operations are costing lives. fernando natalie photo. she's a former italian ambassador to you, and he explains why the country has taken the step. the merchant is meant to provide powers for the distribution of my over them are excessive quotes and how that may be in making to reason for fresh

start. well, good my people all over the country and the 2nd to 2nd to get additional last term may appear disturbing. i think it's meant to be when you close 6, mom read the message. probably measure the by the spanish, from him. a migratory editor because of the one hand, we need more people coming from countries outside europe needed by our market. but we cannot accept all the pressures that we got. it was regarding able to be inserted into the labor market. and i'm sure the government

work better management thought we had to just really like us president says that he wants to see in northern ireland governments restored as soon as possible. joe biden visited belfast amongst the 25th anniversary of the good friday peace agreement. it ended 30 years of violence. the visit comes as a boy called by pro british unionists, has stalled northern ireland governing assembly biden war and democracy can be fragile. an affective devolve government reflects the people of northern ireland and is accountable to them. a government that works to find ways to hard problems together, going to draw even greater opportunities this region. so i hope the assembly and the executive will so the restore that's a judgment for you to make,

not me. and i hope that happens along with institutions that facilitate north south and east west relations, all of which are vital pieces of the good friday agreement. well, the us president is now heading for the republic of ireland. let's bring paul brennan, he's joining us from county loud. so paul, how does joe biden's irish roots play into politics during his visit there? it certainly plays in a big way, said his irish heritage is something that he wears on his sleeve. in 2016. before he came to the republic of ireland, he borrowed and adapted a james joyce phrase saying northeast pennsylvania was written on his heart, but island was written on his soul. and so it will be when he arrives here in the republic of ireland a little later today, i'm in dundalk own county louse where president biden has distance ancestors, the finnegan's of the cooley peninsula. he will visit calling ford castle. he can

john's castle as it's called. he'll also come here to the board, the town of dun dork. walking in the steps in many ways of president clinton, who gave a speech in the year 2000 in the very square where i'm standing now in the pouring rain. and just 2 years after the good friday agreement brought peace to northern ireland, president biden, having visited northern island this morning, now coming to at southern ireland for a mix of personal family resonance, but also the political importance as well, of expressing his affiliation. i think i'm bearing in mind some 30000000 americans . us one in 10 people are claim irish ancestry to the surface votes in it as well. right. so po, what is it that we should be looking out for than once he visits? i said it's a busy agenda. i mean, he flies into dublin shortly. he will go through some protocols on diplomatic

niceties greeted by a senior ambassadorial delegation there before he comes up here. it's a county love which is north of dublin on the east coast of ireland. he will make those visits that i mentioned to calling ford on here to don door. then he will go back to dublin tonight and tomorrow morning, the main sort of diplomatic part of it that takes place. you'll meet the president michael higgins in the morning. he'll also meet the t shirt, the prime minister at lee of rapture in the morning. and later on in the day, he will give a speech to both houses of the irish parliament. at that point. he then heads off to the west coast where another branch of the biden family claims their roots are the blue it's of county mayo. so it's a, it's a taking both boxes i think is the way of describing it is, is both doing that the diplomatic important parts, while at the same time dropping in on, on distant relatives now, right policy to later. thank you, paul brennan, reporting from county long and the future. if you end peacekeeping operation,

molly has been discussed that a security council meeting, some nations have already pulled out of the mission, but with violence getting worse, one organization has a growing presence, and that's russia's wagner. group, nicholas hark reports. strung together in a haste, this makeshift camp lies on the outskirts of molly's capital by marco. it's been built by people who have recently fled violence sweeping the country among them fed to matter. gwinnett. she says, when 1000000 soldiers marched into her village, thought she would be safe, but instead they killed her husband. she then describes a wave of attacks carried out by fighters linked to al qaeda and government back militias. she says, a un peacekeeping force base not far away, but has never come to protect the people in her village. i came here because it's no longer safe in my village. there is so much uncertainty and the un soldiers, they just come after the battle. look at what has happened and then leave again.

14000 un peacekeeping troops, mostly from african nations or station to molly. after french troops intervened to stop armed groups from invading the country. in 2013, costing nearly $1000000000.00 a year. and with more than 180 soldiers killed, it's the most expensive peacekeeping operation carried out by the u. n. in terms of money and allies of its personnel. un peacekeeping mission, also known as the newsman, says, it has the mandate to protect the population, ensure the peace agreement is respected and assist molly and authorities in building reconciliation in an interview with algae or our. molly's prime minister says the mission is not delivering on demanding to protect the population in a new shadow. i think it is, you know, to pip we want to make people say to the international community intervened in molly, following the adoption of the un security council resolution in 2013 molly ins understood it was to end the war as soon as a lease agreement was signed, they said they were here to bring pace, but there is no place to bring soldiers dying. we want to stop the mass killings of

our soldiers and of our citizens when his leg. it forces from several european countries have left the un mission. after molly's june to hired russian mercenaries from the wagner group to support its own troops, un independent human rights experts accuse fighters from factor of carrying out extra digital 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. nicholas hawk al jazeera fella, hands on al jazeera. ah workers in chile are excited about a new bill in congress. we'll explain wine. ah
