evidence of russian atrocities. one was coming to light following the liberation of this town near keith. ukrainian authorities say over for when it corpses have been found in areas retaken by its forces being visibly shaken, president villani may zalinski, visited boucher on monday. he called on russia to come to the negotiation table before it's too late. i almost mitchum don't. shouldn't i cease? give you not, said daniel, but the longer russia delays, the talks near the worst it is for them he put into good lab. because every day when our troops advance and reclaim territory, but we see what's going on with doesn't will yet not so late. it's very difficult to conduct negotiations. when you see what they did here, 4 eastwood which vehicle is not as goliath away. the image is out of butcher have shocked the world. he was president joe biden vowed to continue support for ukraine and echoed cold by all the leaders, one international investigation,

mary matter. i got criticized who calling, who the war criminal bullet years of the matter is though it happened, rufus, this war is the war. but we after gathered a probation, we advised you to provide re, without weapons. they did send you the fight and we have been gather all the detail . so this v, i actually have a war farm broil. each commission that was left on the lion said in a tweet, the european union was ready to send investigation teams to ukraine. russian foreign minister says a lover of denied his country's culpability and called the dead of boucher as stage provocation. but the kremlin, the niles are becoming less believable with everybody retrieved from the ruins. cities left behind lights, retreating, ami, and our correspondence has just returned from virginia. here's nick conway on what

he witness bear. this is boucher. all that left of it said she that was destroyed before people here could finish building it. for weeks we were stuck in downtown key of listening to the artillery fire, listening to other explosions, hearing stories, and people managed to get out. and now we're here for the very 1st time, few days after ukrainian forces rita, which of the russians was sitting now surround me. ah, it's shrapnel. wooden ammunition cases, animals, dogs running around without their owners. and lots of people who the one hand, very happy to see the ukrainian army 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 minds, fear being shot themselves. we've been to church next to it. there's an open, grave and open mouth grave where the locals buried the people. they were able to recover from the streets. and you can see the people that buried in several layers . right in 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 the local so this 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 identified her in the cellar of the children

till the camp where ukrainian forces, se number people were executed with their hands their arms tied behind their backs . the body's gone. 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, 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 situation 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, find out more about what this could mean. let's get across to washington and speak to rachel rizzo. she's a senior fellow at the atlantic a council, a us think tank. welcome to the show. first bite in 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 the i c does have jurisdiction over. this is not a quick process. there are preliminary examinations done by the office of a prosecutor to see if there's sufficient evidence. there are investigations pre trial day to trial saved, 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 floods or just something that perhaps could happen a bit more quickly bite and also calling for more sanctions on russia. what

sanctions do you think we can expect to see? sure, so i think something that's very important to note is the western solidarity that we have seen over the last month in response to russia's invasion of ukraine. we've seen swift sanctions. we have seen sanctions on the russian central bank. we've seen multiple banks and an oligarch sanctioned. and i think that we should see these continue and there will be continued unity on this particular package. but as sanction expert, here in the united states say, we're about a 7 out of 10 in terms of the strength of these, there is always farther to go. i think the european, specifically, especially in germany, will start getting a lot of pressure to institute sanctions against russian energy and gas

coming into the european continent. so that's something that i know a lot of us will be watching very closely over the coming days and weeks, especially as pressure continues to grow. now your printer president will let him, as lensky has called russia's actions in which genocide abide and ended by an 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 nation 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 want to thank you so much for taking the time to speak with us. thank you. and falling at those discoveries in a butcher, germany has declared 40 officials at the russian embassy in berlin to be, quote, undesirable persons effectively expelling them from the country. france is also expelling a number of russian diplomats, german foreign minister and atlanta burbock, that her country would also boost its support for ukraine's armed forces and tightened economic sanctions against russia. he built a 2nd invoking in his county images of the past weekend have once again highlighted

a new, brutal dimension of this war with the most serious war crimes and crimes against humanity. and that is why i made it clear over the weekend that we must not only close the remaining loopholes in the sanction system, but that we must also intensively and rigorously implement this package on mit blick and with regard to ukraine, self defense. as i said, we will now also examine things that we have not examined before on spring up to feed. now on some other world news headlines, shanghai says all of it's 26000000 residents have been tested for covered 90. 1 of china's largest ever public health responses, the city has been placed under a strict walk down to combat rising corona virus infection. some 9000 cases reported on sunday. germany says it will no longer impose compulsory foreign teams

on people infected with the crone of virus. starting a 1st health minister says medical staff will be the only exception for everyone else. isolation will still be strongly recommended, but not required by law. and can you motorists have endured a nother day of major fuel for an interest with ours on q as petrol pumps ran dry. the government lanes hoarders for the shortfall, but oil dealers that they were owed subsidy payments from the state can use energy regulators at the shortages were also exacerbated by international market being hit by the war in ukraine. and 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 and its findings are dire. 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 sing, 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 agreed at cop $21.00 in paris. if we continue acting as we are now, we're not even going to limit warming to 2 degrees. never, never mind 1.5 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 a phase, the disastrous consequences of climate change as your needs obtained at this hour. my colleague stephen beardsley, will be back with the business half lines after a short break. don't forget, you can always get the latest. he's an analysis on our website at dw dot com or check us out on social media at. you know, i'm clear. richardson carlin,
