witnessed there. this is boucher all this left of it. essentially that was destroyed before people here. good. finished building it. for weeks we were stuck in downtown key if listening to artillery fire listening to other explosions, hearing stories from people who managed to get out. and now we're here, the very 1st time, few days after ukrainian forces rita, which of the russians was sitting now thrown me. ah, it's shuttle wooden ammunition cases animals, dogs running around without their owners. lots of people who the one hand, very happy to see the ukrainian omi here and relieved that the fighting around them is over. but still can't quite believe what's happened to them. people who wants to talk and surprising of enough can talk about the extraordinary shocking things they've gone through. but people who still quite haven't understood what's happened . we spoke to a lady who told us she spent, essentially weeks stuck at home,

afraid to leave her house. how her son in law, when he finally did leave the house in search of some food. this bid was soon found dead shots, the streets. they were unable to recover his body for weeks, for fear of mind's fear being shot themselves. you've been to church next to which there's a open grave and open mouth grave, where the locals buried the people. they were able to come from the streets and you can see the people they're buried in several layers. right to the bottom. the people just buried in the clothes they were found in, in between their people been buried in blankets and sheets. further up, people have been buried in plastic sacking for local soldiers that they'd held onto many passports. they could try and help families and find bodies. the loved ones to try and reconstruct what happened to the people. to make sure that i remembered and

are identified. we were in the cellar of children till the camp where ukrainian forces, se number people were executed with their hands, their arms tied behind their backs. the bodies going when we were there, we saw traces of blood on the walls and bullets in the cellar holiday camp that was littered with russian army russians, rushing packs, bottles, alcohol caused that, it obviously being taken from the local population and driven, destroyed. but with the characteristic russian army v o markings be spoken to people on the street who have told us about their expense last few weeks and their fear that while for now, this is over, that the russians could come again while it's ration here on kid. seems calm, seems safer that as an unexpectedly suddenly,

as the russians arrived here in this part of the world, in late february, they might do so again. economy reporting. when you says it's ready to send investigators to further document the atrocities in the key region. and us president joe biden says the scenes near the ukranian capital provide further proof that russian president vladimir putin is a war criminal. may remember, i got criticized for calling your criminal matter. so it happened. this warrant is or what we have to gather the probation. we have to continue to provide you great without weapon to continue the fight. and we have together all the detail. so this to be actual have a war, find out more about what this could mean. let's get across to washington and speak to rachel, brazil. she's a senior fellow at the atlantic council, a u. s. think tank. welcome to the show. first bite and calling for a war crimes trial. how likely is that to happen?

now work crimes are governed under the international criminal court founding treaty called the wrong who got you and war crimes are one of the main crimes that i see does have jurisdiction over. this is not a quick process. there are preliminary examination done by the office of a prosecutor to see if there's sufficient evidence. there are investigations pre trial day to trial said, even if this process did start, it would be a long time before proving international punishment for the crime that the russian military has committed. quality mors, lensky has called russia's actions in which genocide abide and end by administration. have stopped short of doing that. can you explain what is behind that thinking? sure, the biden team has stopped short of using the term genocide because it has a very strict legal definition. and there are heavy implications that using that specific term carries the aim of genocide is to systematically destroy an entire

group of people. and so when that term is used, i think national leaders want to be very specific when they, when they use that term. i think what we're also seeing in the coming days in terms of punishment that the russians could face is the potential for it to be suspended from the united nations human rights council. this is something that the u. s. britain and other countries have indicated that they are calling for. this is going to take 2 thirds majority vote by the united nations and linda thomas greenfield, the us ambassador to be when said that this is something that they want to vote on this week. so a lot to watch, i think coming up in the coming days. okay. we will be keeping an eye on that for you. rachel, risen from the atlanta council. i wanna thank you so much for taking the time to speak with us. and those discoveries in which i have prompted germany to expel 40

russian diplomats, france and lithuania, have announced similar moves with german foreign minister, and a bare box at her country would also boost its support for ukraine's armed forces and titan economic sanctions against russia. berlin is shocked by the images of russia's attack on boucher germany's foreign minister spoke of crimes against humanity that will be countered with immediate weapons supplies to keith anthony. not to get in touch with the van will you will strengthen our support for ukraine's defense. i admire boucher and mary you poor have shown us this is a life or death situation for millions of ukrainians. my mention in that we are considering delivering weapon systems that we had held back until now. deviate busy . i initially thought hobbin on top of this, the german government has declared that 40 diplomats from the russian embassy are now persona non grata, and will be expelled from the country. and their voices demanding an immediate hall

to all russian guest imports are growing louder. politicians say it's not possible, according to the economy minister, germany was following the wrong energy policy. for far too long does. but we're now reversing our energy policy every day. we are working towards grading the pre conditions necessary for an embargo. and it's my opinion and that of the government that this is the correct way to proceed. and once carried out, it will harm putin on a daily basis. 14 teachers shot it, a gas embargo would hit germany's middle class, the hardest, the opposition see the you warns that this must be taken into consideration. if it's not only important to think about how this will affect russia, it's also very important how to measure the effects this will have on millions of german sorts. this is a deciding factor. this is why we should exit our dependence on oil and coal consumption quickly, but reduce gas consumption more slowly, middle felicity. to enable the continue will supply of gas. germany has decided to

appoint the federal network agency as trustee for the german subsidiary of russia's gas. prom further sanctions against russia will be decided together with the you. the commission has already recommended more disciplinary measures. the war on ukraine has pushed the you to take steps to reduce its dependence on russian gas and move toward clean energy. but un climate. scientists say climate action is not happening fast enough. they have released the most comprehensive report ever produced on how to stop global warming. its findings are stark. 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 sink,

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 that $1.00 degrees celsius warming limit agreed at cop $21.00 in paris. if we continue acting as we are now, we're not, or 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 effect, 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. as in his update at this hour, i'm clare richardson in berlin. for me in the team here, ah time for an experiment about time. ah, it can be measured precisely. and yet each person experiences it differently as if there are different forms of hon. a dimension and illusion. about time starts april 14th on.
