civilians in the town of butcher, near the capital. keith, missus aski was speaking from which out where he traveled to see 1st hand a devastation left behind. following the withdrawal of russian troops, he condemned the massacre and called the killings war cries, moscow claims they were staged difficult. while images of mass graves and dead civilians showing signs of torture have sparked wide spread international condemnation. several e u countries are now pushing for a tougher sanctions against russia and a warning to our viewers. this next or port contains disturbing images as ukrainian forces recapture territory to the north of cave. reports of what russian troops left behind continued to emerge. civilians with their hands tied apparently shot at close range. dozens of

other bodies had been found in mass graves. bishop missouri for what we sooner paying for you will be seen butcher, a horrible images. unfortunately, these images are not from a film, but reality looked at it. it is the terrible reality where civilians are shot dead, with hands tag behind their backs, sir little grammar royal ukraine's prosecutor general says more than 400 bodies have been found in town. surrounding keith, president vladimir zelinski, said russian forces must be held responsible process of zigler. go as soon as i call on all our citizens and friends of ukraine in the world who can join his work and help establish justice to do so. the world has already seen many war crimes at different times on different continents,

but it is time to do everything possible to make the war crimes of the russian military, the last manifestation of such evil on earth. because law was emily. russia has rejected the claims calling what happened in butcher a fake attack, and yet another provocation by the ukrainian government but people here described killings by the russians issue. he went to get some road when all of a sudden the russian started shooting when it hit him above the heel, crushing a bone over. he fell down to jewish at betty. oh, i'm up up. are you all the people who were going to this area were shot? well thought we were afraid to go out because if they saw you, they would shoot you that a good if, if you, if i am so afraid to talk to you, i am afraid they will come back for the talks were set to resume between ukrainian and russian negotiators to day, the horrifying images from butcher will no doubt make the hard task of finding

a diplomatic solution even more difficult. and we're going to take an hour to chat to nick conley. our correspondence in ukraine who is in at the town there. and nick, what have you seen? well, where i am just now in the country. next to the 10 story pop blocks, i think the one left on catch. when the learn out, college destroyed. georgia went to electric co cause. this is a patient town that destroy it. before we finish this with other kids, young companies are moving to lots construction and now that is all around me. shrapnel bits of artillery shells. wooden crate ammunition, lots of dogs running the street without their owners and lots of people just in deep, deep shock. we just come from one of the biggest grace which is next to the church again this time and the local. that was the place that they brought the body of

people who been short on the streets and tried to at least give them some temporary burial that way. it's very difficult sight. it's a deep, deep pit lazy when one is somewhere buried in sheets and blankets. others in plastic sex and some have there was nothing and you see other bits of what is coming out of the bottom, that pitch. and a lot of people who to hear of mines of traps, the traps situation, it's still very, very go and very, very fresh. and most people still haven't come back yet. a local parties are telling people who blacks are not come back. it's not safe for them. to wait and the few people that are left, nick, what are they telling you? what does the most difficult stories of people just that's in the out there? neighbors. they're there. they're going to go to

a shop to try and find some medicines or to find bread and them just not coming back. and then people trying, you rented something short but not being able to retrieve their bodies lines or because they weren't allowed to spend that much time out of the street. so having to basically what sometimes from that window relatives lying down the street for days and weeks and now quietly, damn very, the last few days came back. here are their efforts underway to document of what happened? so certainly the case and the fraser, which is a very good approach about that. you can send me a text message when you are in like this. encouraging people to collect the stories, the accounts and to do it now while the memory fresh and they can reconstruct where people who are what day that's definitely happening from the side of the government . and people are surprisingly willing to talk about these very, very difficult things. i could tell to people being cut off for weeks and felt trapped. i mean the big,

so anything what we are jealous with century 25 mile down the roads. and we could hear michelle michelle, the alternate, we couldn't get here. and we had no real sense of what was going on. there was basically no internet connection. and so this would basically be happening on the doorstep to the capital without anyone really getting a sense of how bad things were up until now. and last few days when ukrainian couple of control is being restored, you mccauley, reporting from which on the capital, kia. thank you so much, nick. while we can talk to ashley reedy, she is the human rights lawyer and an experts on war crimes. she's the senior legal advisor at human rights watch a very warm welcome back to do w news. ashley. want to start off by asking you house human rights watch. been able to establish what exactly happened in butcher thank you. layla. no, we haven't been able to establish i'm serving the scope of what's happened in boucher

we are i think in the same position as other people investigating in the sense that access to the area has only recently become available. we have been so what we have done and what we, what came out as the weekend was and we were able to document one witness account of a woman who had, you know, actually i witnessed a summary execution where men had be lined up in a row for them kneeling down, and one of them had their t shirt pulled over their head and then was shot in the back of the head. and the others were ultimately not killed, but the body was left line there. so we do know that there have been war crimes that we've spoken to people who witness war crimes being having, being committed there. and obviously we're seeing now other evidence of suggest there has been a number of war crimes committed, but it's still early stages. and like everybody else were trying to piece together both in boucher and in other areas where which were under russian occupation. since

you know, the end of february already march what, what has happened? so it's going to be, i think people have to be careful not to rush to too many conclusions. it's going to be important to carefully document the evidence, to try to tell the stories of each of the bodies that have been discovered. and then to put together in a whole and compelling case about what happened to, to, to the victims and how they can. we can move forward and get justice for them. what constitutes a war crime? this is a very, it's a good question kind of, it's a very question in a way, i mean a war crime is a serious violation of the laws of war when committed intentionally. so that's deliberately or recklessly. so for example, up until recently, people have been mainly focused on the attacks in which many civilians have been killed or several buildings have been damaged and that they may also be war crimes . and when they were, depending on what exactly the russians were targeting and the weapons that the russians use. so for example, we know they use cluster munitions,

cluster munitions is an indiscriminate weapon. and it was a war crime to, to use them in a civil in area. in this case, you know, where we actually have eye witnesses, who are able to identify summary executions. whether that was of a soldier or a civilian, or a p o w. it's not so much as a matter because that form of summary execution is a serious violation of the law of war and would be a war crime. so there are arranged, there are a lot of different types of actions which can be, which can be war crimes under the geneva conventions and under the statute of the international criminal court. now if you allow me, i want to bring up a quote from the french president amendment that my court, who were to day said, referring to the killings in boucher. he said that international justice must take care of this and those who committed these crimes. we'll have to answer for them. so that brings me to you and your important work that you do. how likely is it that an individual or

a group of people can be identified as being directly responsible for these acts? i think they're there. i think it's very, it's quite likely. i mean, i think that for, i think there's probably quite a lot known about the, the russian military and how it operates and who might be in charge of, of different battalions and different units. so it's, i think there's going to be evidence there of, of who was operating, where, when different war crimes were committed, there is going to be in to some extent, you know, i witness testimony that may help narrow down who's responsible. but i think we should also bear in mind that both under international humanitarian law and for the purposes of the international criminal course, they're going to look to go after those who are most responsible. which may not mean the person who pull the trigger on the ground. but who was in charge of that particular operation, who was the commander and should have known what was going on, could have prevented his fail to punish it,

and that's known as command responsibility. so i think what you're likely going to see is a number of prosecutions brought against people at different levels within the russian military who bore responsibility for the operations for areas that were under occupation where evidence becomes available, that war crimes to place. and those are the sorts of people who may end up ultimately in the international criminal course. or indeed, any number of the national investigations. we know that a number of national prosecution officers have open investigations and which may lead to prosecutions. and that so, as i said before, actually tomorrow is the opening of a trial against the leader of a militia in dar for, for very, very serious crimes that were committed there in 2003 in 2004. so sometimes it takes some time for people to, to be brought to justice. but i think just given a strictly the, the focus on ukraine and the number of international organizations on national

prosecutors who are alert to the need to investigate. i would be i would be pretty optimistic that we will see people brought to brought to trial for some of the crunch. ashleen really senior legal adviser, human rights watch an expert on war crimes. thank you very much. we appreciate your insights. thank you very much. i live on germany has condemned the killings of civilians in boucher as terrible war crimes. they cannot go unanswered. my chance, their an economy minister, robert havoc says berlin is preparing fresh sanctions together with its european allies. mr. i'm not my ministries temporarily appointing the federal network agency is a trustee for the gas from germany. grooven took off in accordance with section 6 of the foreign trade act. amongst her, tore this serfs to protect public security in order and to maintain the security of supply to help them to this step is absolutely necessary and the security of

supplies currently guaranteed shout is doctor agreed, realized it as secure to where did every political correspond. thomas, the sparrow, who is covering this story before we talk about that very significant decision taken by mister hobbit, we've got some more breaking news coming in. what can you tell us? that's absolutely correct. layla and that breaking news comes from germany's foreign minister and un babcock, who just a few minutes ago, announce the german government was declaring around 40 russian diplomats as undesirable persons that basically means that they will be expelled from the country. and that comes as one of the 1st big political reactions here in germany to what we've seen in ukraine in particular, in butcher and this announcement by an i number babcock in himself, comes then only a few minutes after we heard from robert havoc. we heard him just there with another big political development here in germany. it may sound

a little technical at 1st when it comes to gasp from and it's german subsidiary gas from gay manya, robert havoc. they was talking, for example, of unclear legal relationships of a breach of reporting regulations, which basically led to the decision that he announced. but behind all these technicalities, there is a remarkable political statement by havoc which essentially means that germany is in a capacity to use energy also as a political leverage when it comes to his relationship with russia. so certainly a very big move there also from germany's energy standpoint, havoc is not only germany's energy minister, but also germany's vice chancellor. and what he was stressing there in that statement was a germany was going to do everything in its hands to guarantee supply here in germany, and also what he mentioned to protect public safety. so all in all,

a very big political decision by havoc and at the same time by germany's foreign minister in her bow book. with that announcement that germany would also basically expel 40 russian diplomats. now, germany has come under a lot of criticism recently for its refusal to support an embargo on russian energy in ports. earlier today we heard from the polish prime mister, he weighed in on this subject and he, he went quite far. he accused germany of being the biggest break when it comes to tougher sanctions. he essentially said it's not the voices of german companies, german, billionaires that should be heard loudly in berlin. it's the voice of these innocent women children, the voice of those murdered that should be heard. how much of an outlier is germany when it comes to its reliance on russian energy? this basically means that political pressure is growing on germany to try and support those stronger measures those stronger sanctions. but so far german lead us from the german chancellor,

2 german ministers have stressed that it will be very difficult for germany to support and embargo as other countries have mentioned to you a political correspondent, thomas sparrow. thank you. now the war in ukraine has prompted many you pre european countries, rather to take steps to decrease their reliance on russian gas and accelerate a shift towards green energy. but experts say climate action is still not happening fast enough. the united nations climate scientists have just released a landmark report on what needs to happen to ensure a livable future on the planet. it's a serious cuts to carbon pollution are necessary, and the world needs to act. now. they're the silent killers destroying our planet. but for decades, fossil fuels have been powering our economy and our lifestyle. all

that needs to stop. i'm soon if humanity have a fight and trucks in the battle against climate change with immediately and very fast. so that's no question about that. in september, the intergovernmental panel on climate change sounded the alarm that people are warming the planet faster than ever than in february. they explained how that has devastated ecosystems and livelihoods. now they're telling the world what we can do to save ourselves but even as well as leaders have signed treaties to slow global warming, dangerous carbon pollution has continued to climb.

the result is a hotter, less hospitable planet. well leaders have pledged to limit warming to well below 2 degrees celsius and ideally $1.00 degrees by the end of the century. but their policies put the planet on track the close to 3 degrees of woman in the midst gay to interact with that because we have so much limited time to austin and a lot of dynamics going to the wrong direction. so it gives like a quite important to get to measure can now and not use excuses to delay these. for any further delay, the climate scientists found risks missing a brief and rapidly closing window to secure a livable and sustainable future. for all the challenge now is getting

society to shift away from fossil fuels. and to do so fast enough let's find out what was in that i p. c. c report released today d w, environment reporter sam baker. joy's me now good to see you, sam. so were some of the proposals that that were outlined in today's report? yes, there were many solutions included in today's report. i mean, we have science and technology. the strategy is to tackle climate change. and the things included making building more energy efficient, making our city more efficient, particularly as cities around the world grow, electric buying our vehicles that we use and cutting back on driving fossil fuel vehicles. really completely transitioning into renewable energy in both our homes and businesses as well as conserving forests and land. although the authors did

point out that they should not be used to that delayed action in reducing emissions, which would the real part of this report that we need to stop using fossil fuel. we need to see a rapid and deep reduction in greenhouse gas emissions across all sectors. and for any remaining emissions that can't be dealt with, we will have to use carbon capture and storage that's going to be necessary to take the last few emissions out. these are many change that we can see again across all sectors, but they really need to come from the government level, not just individual to be effective. now i understand that the release of the report was pushed back. oh, what are some of the most contentious issues that they can see eye to eye on? well, this report dealt with her being a mission. so it was perhaps one of the more contentious ones this year. we saw

pushback from countries like india arguing that they shouldn't have to make such deep cuts in their emissions and also that they need help financing a transition to clean energy on the other side of the coin with our country, like the u. s. pushing back on, having to finance or countries energy transitions so much. there have also been reports that saudi arabia wanted to see a continued role for fossil fuels, though the science says this cannot be the case. so with these reports, all countries have to agree on the final language there, there needs to be consensus there. so it can be quite a semantic debate at the end. but this means that the countries have, by, in, of what the final report says. so it can be quite important, and i think it signals that these, these reports are very crucial and the governments are taking them very seriously to say they're very crucial. and of course, you know, we're living through this war now that we're seeing unfold in ukraine and fossil fuels,

playing it out size role in that conflict. could the war and ukraine help speed up the exit from fossil fuels? that is really going to depend on the government's worth all of these other actions . there is an opportunity there to make a rapid transition to renewable energy. renewable energy like women's solar are relatively cheap right now. and of course, we've seen the price of oil and gas really go up in recent weeks. but we've also seen countries including germany looking for additional liquefied natural gas from places like the us and to tar. so that's more fossil fuels coming in to be burned up energy. so it's going to be up to governments to see where the countries like india and china are also taking that cheap dots from russia. so it's been w a environment reporter sam baker. thank you,

sam. for joining us on our to music sir. biggest night the 64th grammy awards, which were united for a full capacity show on sunday evening for the 1st time since the pandemic. but this year superstars celebration got a dose of reality when the ukranian president addressed the audience via video like, oh john legend teamed i put the exiled, ukrainian musician izzy. with a prerecorded video address for me, premium president. lot, amir zalinski. we defend our freedom to leave, to love, to sell on our land. we are fighting russia, which brings horrible silence with its bumps the dead silence. fuel de saddens william music philip to date, to tell our story. tell the truth about the war audio, social networks on tv support dos in any way you can any but not silence. and then peaceful got. ah, there was also
