clearer as bodies, somewhere their hands bound are discovered in the streets of a keep sub, apparently evidence of a civilian massacre carried out by russian soldiers. so how much responsibility lies with vladimir putin? i'm phil gail in berlin and this is the day. ah, no, what happened? this war is the war. we were free to go out because if they saw you, they would shoot you. these images are not for you, but reality, more video. and we have together all the detail of this the actual have a war, 5 trial, the horrors that we've seen in boucher. i just it tip of the iceberg. these are war crimes and will be recognized by the world as genocide which will

also on the day hunger is victor all band secures his 4th election victory and celebrates with a warning to the european union of rocky times. ahead. awkward, i do, sam at all, we have won a victory so big that you can see it from the moon and you can certainly see it from brussels. ah, welcome to the day laudermill. zalinski has accused russia of genocide after the discovery of hundreds of dead civilians in the town of butcher. the v capital keefe ukrainian president had traveled to the town to see at 1st hand the devastation left behind and russian troops withdrew. he condemned the massacre describing it as a war crime. moscow claims the scenes were staged. images of mass graves and of dead civilians showing signs of torture of sparked widespread international condemnation. several a you countries and are pushing for tougher sanctions against russia. our next

report contains some disturbing images as ukrainian forces recapture territory to the north of keith 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. fisher, 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 is the terrible reality where civilians are shot dead. with hands tag behind their backs, her little crowns. mo, ukraine's prosecutor general says more than $400.00 bodies have been found in town surrounding keyed president volunteers, the lensky said,

russian forces must be held responsible process of the good 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 lately, but this time to do everything possible to make the war crimes of the russian military, the lost, manifestation of such evil on earth. buckle was la, miss emily. russia has rejected the claims cooling. what happened in boucher, 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 what he fell down to do. it should be at the poem up a deal. 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 you, if i am so afraid to talk to you, i mean, i'm afraid they will come back from football. talks were set to resume between ukrainian and russian negotiators to day. the horrifying images from butcher will no doubt make the ha task of finding a diplomatic solution even more difficult when he was president, joe biden is one of many international leaders describing the events in boucher as a war crime. here he is talking to reporters. after arriving in washington on monday morning. mary mcbride, i criticized lou calling for the war, criminal bullet years of the matter. so it happened. this war is a war, but we have to gather the probation. we have to provide you right without weapons ab, thank you the fight and we have the gather all the detail. so this to be an actual have a war farm trial. this guy is brutal. a stone christine bas xena, who's

a senior fellow at the german marshall funds of the united states where she also heads it's russia task force. welcome to the w. what's your thoughts on this given what we've, we've seen so far, walk crime effect images. it's very clear from the the international press presence, for example, that went in to boucher also over the weekend that this isn't a faked massacre and new satellite footage also confirms looking down on boucher where some of the placement of these bodies were. and that this is it, there's other verification of the authenticity of these images and of these attacks . and the gravity of these crimes is really glaring for the international community for the united states for europe. and it takes the

moral outrage to a new level. so the questions that come next are what to do about it. clearly the existing sanctions and even the crane, he, in a military victories of pushing the russians back, are not enough to stop this kind of behavior. so how does the west signal to russia and, and to the russian military to those soldiers who are choosing to make such horrible devastating crimes against, against women against against civilians of all kind that they are wrong. and that's where the new rounds of sanctions that are being talked about for later this week come into play, right? but also the, they're just so horrible. let me, let me just interrupt that because we'll talk about what possibly those functions might be. but what are they for beyond punishing russia?

is that a consensus about what these sanctions should achieve? because if their purpose is to end this war, people might ask, well, why have they waited to, to, to turn the volume up to 10 as it were? the purpose of saying hands as a frequent topic of conversation and even today, jake sullivan, and from the white house said, talking about the potential for new sanctions, was using the terminology of raising the cost of having costs against russia for its behavior. so the, it is important for russia to see that these actions in particular are not only seen and said, you know, that is sad too bad, but they will impose, they will have a cost to russia immediately. there's a longer term question, which is the war crimes piece, which is what president biden spoke about. and many european leaders have, which is a necessity to collect all of this evidence. and then take this to either their

dental criminal court or a different venue that has not, not yet decided in order to prosecute for president putin of, for these war crimes. that is a longer term process. the question is, what can be done this week? right now that this is clear, what is what, how do you, how do you punish russia this week? right. okay, so what we're talking about potentially extending the assumptions are already on the table. but however, this war ends in a deal by one side bombing the other to a standstill and claiming victory does russia then just resume its form of position on the international stage on the un security council and go back to business as usual? it's very hard to imagine how after behavior like this, russia can resume standing in europe or in north america. yet, there are many countries that abstained from voting against russia in the, across the, you know, assembly china is backing russia still right now. and so russia does have

relatively normal business with a few countries. india, for example, big countries, india, the editor rel emerick china, places that have very healthy economies and that are seeking cooperation. so they are, yeah, i could imagine business as usual, but ib site, find it incredibly difficult to see how there can be normal relations between russia and europe or north america, other global democracy, but have taken a stand against russia right now. given these horrific actions the, which is, you know, the question would sanctions of some kind come down at which point, what would be the conditions necessary in order to normalize. but i think we are very, very far from that. when you look to russian history, russia has not had a process, poor reckoning with its misdeeds in the way that other countries have in germany.

the number of trials and decades worth of educational reforms and conversation have led to a kind of social readjustment and understanding about the problems with the 3rd right after the south africa after apartheid, there were truth and reconciliation councils that again, force talking about an understanding the the, the violations that happened. and yet russia, after the end of the soviet union, does not have a policy of looking at the stalinist era for prior imperial era. through the various purges and deportations and hunger campaigns and famines and murders and mass arrests. none of that has been denounced truly instead, stalin is glorified by president putin. the imperial history,

as is glorified and the theme or rhetoric of some of cleansing society is back in play. so what would need to happen in russia for some kind of future normal relationship is for there to be a societal understanding the unacceptability that's very clear. i hope we get to talk again, christine busied it from the german marshal fund. thank you so much. thank. so let's look at the potential legal ramifications of these discoveries to butcher. professor yvonne mcdermott reese is professor of law. that's one of the university in the united kingdom. welcome to the w. on the face of it. if what's been discovered in boucher is what it appears to be, would that be a war crime? potentially? yes. i mean it could even reach the level of genocide, war crimes or crimes against humanity. so these are 3 distinct categories off

international crimes, genocide is and is defined as any one of the and number of act including killing and misses with the intention to destroy an ethnic racial or religious group in hold her in part. so potentially, if it could be shown that these acts were commiserate with the intention of destroying the cranium, people them to check, then that could reach that level of genocide and war crimes. serious violations of the laws relating to are in conflict. we've seen several potential war crimes, and everyone is entitled to the presumption of innocence, and this would have to be adjudicated by an independence parcel tribunal. but potentially some of the things we've seen come. i reached the threshold of war crimes as do and crimes against humanity if they could been here. so these are crimes committed against a civilian population as part of the widespread or systematic attack against

a civilian population. and where it all got, would vladimir putin be potentially culpable? ok, and what potentially, let's say here ethically we have a trial before the international criminal court. the i c. c seeks to prosecute those who are deemed most responsible. and there are a number of modes of liability that are facing statues of the international criminal court. so these include ordering, inducing to losing these claims to be committed. but importantly, i think in the case of that and where to send a superior responsibility. so those who are in charge of an armed forces or others, and bear responsibility for the crimes that they've committed, says where they stand to prevent those crimes from happening or to punish them and appropriately where, where they have been committed, says ok,

we're talking about the law, but we're also talking about politics and if it's war ends in some sort of peace deal, isn't the political reality that the prospect of criminal prosecutions is likely to be bog and away i, unlikely and politically i can see the cranium as sight agreeing to that but i think legally as well, that's pretty problematic. the idea of i'm the states are serious international crimes. so theoretically, perhaps, you know, we might have some sort of truth and reconciliation commission them as part of that . there might be some agreements that lower level perpetrators aren't prosecuted by by the ukrainian authorities. that might be problematic though, because the international crime, genocide, crimes against humanity and more crimes attract to what we call universal jurisdiction. so that means that any country in the world potentially could,

you could try those who are teams responsible for these international crimes. and i think would also be problematic in terms of and the international criminal court. so even if that were, and i come off, it talks between ukraine and russia, i can see the prosecutor of the international criminal course respecting such. and i'm this day, and i think he be quite likely to say it's my responsibility to prosecute those who are most responsible for the most serious international crimes. and that's what i'm going to do. ok, that's very clear. thank you so much for outlining that for us professor yvonne mcdermott race from swans, the university a hungry nationalist, a prime minister victor oberon has won a 4th consecutive term and office is finished party fort off on the lines of opposition parties and sunday selection. and he said to regain its 2 thirds majority in parliament,

pro government newspapers have election winter. victor or bon splashed across their front pages of fort victory. that for some comes as little surprise in these on, but i trust they will be why is when investing the money they stole. despite some pull predictions, the results were clear, the governing party fetus. once again, 12 thirds of the popular vote, or bon supporters partied into the night, celebrating his victory. it was an our message to europe is we are not history. we are the future where the opposition alliance was disappointed. challenger peter marquee sees himself as a victim of the pro government media system to the left. okay. and it should be clear to everyone that the media tip, the scales in favor of fidel starts copied us back. there was one big surprise, the extreme right wing party, our homeland made it into parliament,

shifting the country further to the right. oh se election observers say the election was well organized, but not completely fair because of government influence on the media. pundents say the effects of organs latest victory will be felt at the e u level. if i go sank of the election, promises have to be financed high inflation has to be fought. and to do this and we need the support of the e. u. as in your own, but it looks like the relationship between hungry and the e. you will continue to be difficult. will explore those issues then whizzer is shana vague, from the european university of via trina and the gym city of frankfort odor. she specializes in central and eastern europe and joins us from budapest. welcome to the w of the selection, had been billed as the biggest challenge to victor, all bands grip on power. yet somehow he managed to pull it off and with resulting victory. i do think he did it indeed the victory

was much bigger than anticipated by many of the 3rd. so we again see a 2 thirds majority in the parliament. i think there are multiple factors that contributed to this victory. first, of course, there is the uneven playing field that has been influencing elections and have been delivering good results for the governing party over the past several electoral cycles. but at the same time, we also see that the strategy of the opposition parties were corporate thing. didn't have to really pay off in the individual electoral districts. so they compared to 2018 actually loss in the amount of will. which means the most likely it has been the supporters of the radical right for the former or the core. i 40 you will be, that was part of the issue we didn't off will for the joint was issue. they most

likely have been voting for the extreme right. or potentially even for the, the thing it's number. right? so that was one of the big issues is think, but one of the 1st people to congratulate mister van was the russian president vladimir putin. what we read into that i think, ah, it shows that there has been a strong relations between hungary and russia or more precisely between the organ government and president routine. and that there is an intention to hold that it may be a response to that balancing foreign policy on the throw. or there has been for ceiling, also in the aftermath of the russian aggression against ukraine.

and which we will most likely see it's $99.00 a month. ok so, so mr. obama has a friend in the russian president, but apparently also lots of enemies will listen to a part of his victory speech and then come back to a movie, a fish moderate my them. now we have a bottle. the biggest force is the left wing is home all the international left wing, the brussels bureaucrats, all the organizations of the saw rush, empire, the international, mainstream media. and finally, the ukranian president as well. we never had so many opponents. you go to ground. ok. so sure, just a vague what effect or bonds a problem with lot of is lensky. ok. well, there has been collation of clashes between the hungarian government and the

ukrainian government through the outbreak of the or because foundries, attitude and approach towards ukraine. so hungary has been supporting most of the sanctions. it was not we doing not blocking you sanctions against russia, but it has been very hard hearted in its support for ukraine as a neighboring country to ukraine. it could have allowed direct, 4th of weapons to ukraine. but it did not only indirectly, and there in the government news very explicitly that is not going to supply weapons, the ukraine. and in the current situation there stand the li doesn't go down well with the grain in government. ok, so we have seen clashes escalating over the past few weeks for ban victory. does

anything change in hungry or do we expect just more of the same? we have generally been seeing aah! radicalization foster every week 3 of the he does go for a month and that is what i would also expect after the very big 3 both in terms of ideological radicalization, shifting further to the right with the extreme right in the story. nothing going on in the parliament. it is going to be probably even harder for me. and also we have seen further attacks on democratic institutions, checks and balances. and i think in this upcoming rural cycle, the remnants of democratic institutions will be further effects as well as the remaining tracks. what stocks in the country. okay. just encourages in santa fe the

european university in trina. thank you so much for joining. thank you. oh, well, the war ukraine has prompted many european countries to take steps to decrease their reliance on russia gas and to accelerate a shift towards green energy. but experts say climate action is still not happening fast enough. united nations climate scientists have just released their latest report saying that serious cuts to carbon pollution and needed and the world needs to act. now. the world is hurtling towards a climate danger zone and the options to avoid it of running out the assessment of the new i. p. c. c report is clear, drastic action is needed to avert catastrophic global warming. the un secretary general set the report reveal the litany of broken climate promises. some government and business leaders are saying one thing,

but doing and others simply put, they are lying and the results will be catastrophic. these is a climate emergency. climate scientists sworn that we are already perilously close to tipping points that could lead to cascading and irreversible climate impacts. climate impact that is leading to more extreme weather events. the world is on a pathway to exceed the $1.00 degrees celsius warming limit. a great at cop 21 in paris. if we continue acting as we are now, we're not even going to limit warming to 2 degrees. never, never mind. one point. 5 degrees. emissions in the last decade were the highest they have ever been of continued to increase. scientists say emissions must peak by 2025 to prevent disastrous climate effects. and that only a drastic reduction will secure a livable future. the big message we've got, you know, human activities got us into this problem and human agency can actually get us out

of it again on, i think that's the hopeful message that we're trying to get over in this report. it's not the hope, it's not all lost, we really have the chance to do something the world must leave behind the age of fossil fuels. the un says of phase the disastrous consequences of climate change. and that was the day as ever the conversation continues online. you will find this on twitter at d, w. use, and self amity have a good ah ah, with
