good morning. tell us what you saw in boucher i saw a city that spacey had been destroyed before. it could be finished to a very young suburb of kia, full of new high rise apartments, most of which are basically left without any windows, half blown up. and destroyed, burnt out russian tanks on the streets, ammunition crates, kind of just everywhere, bits of shrapnel, you get a sense of quite how intensive that fighting was over basically a month, a locals telling you that they basically what you scared to leave their homes was sitting either at home or in their cellist for most of that time. and then stories . i wouldn't accounts of those who did go out to did venture out of him to try look for food and seeing basic this st. strewn with bodies. and they were telling me that basically the russian soldiers were so that they met, at least were so shocked by the level of resistance they had faced in ukraine. something they hadn't expected that they basically saw all the civilians around them as potential targets as potential threats to their lives. and so they felt

like they were walking on the streets basically being watched through the sight of sniper rifles, wherever they went. and we went to the mass grave next, the church that some people might have seen images of and seems like the locals, doug that trench to recover bodies from the streets. it had been long that sometimes for days and weeks. and they were just lay as pallet's bodies. some were buried in the clothes that they were wearing when they were killed. others covered in blankets and then the top layer covered in, in kind of black plastic sacking. they seemed to have done their best try and re constitute who these people are to recover any idea that world was on these people when they died so that they can now try to attempt to contact the relatives and to work out who it is that is buried in these graves, we were also in a cellar, a cellar of a children summer camp, where several people were executed. the bodies had been recovered by the authorities, but on we went the but they have been photographed in early days by people. i know

personally. and you could to see em, traces of blood and bullet sets. it's a very disorienting place to be, especially given the most of us journalists, we were just about 2025. clumped down the road here in the center of care for most that time, we could hear the shooting. we could hear the artillery in the distance, but we couldn't get there. now. first time we've actually been on the ground, sit for ourselves. nick russia has denied committing atrocities in boucher and says that the killings were staged by ukrainians. now you spoke a witnesses in boucher. what did they tell you? so they talk about people basically being killed on their way just to try and find some bread to go find some food people just disappearing randomly. ever on trying at that time to bessy keep tabs on each other if they were leaving the homes and then trying to go search for their relatives if they failed to come back at the

agree time. i in terms of those claims come out of moscow. i haven't seen anything any explanation on their part. how this is meant of happened. they've called it a provocation, but they haven't explained how these people died. they haven't ventured as far as i've seen any explanation, but perhaps in the ukrainians it would have killed their own people to crate this, these images to great. this consternation and his anger towards the actions, the russian army here to me and tilting crane is it seems like a a distraction tactic. that kind of thing that we saw off to the malaysian boeing m 8. 17 was knocked out of the sky, was down in the summer of 2014, where lots of various explanations were advanced and then dropped the match of weeks. and i think the main kind of target, the main reason for those kinds of statements or bases to distract and to confuse are in the hope that people would lose interest and not, you know, keep their attention focused on these things. in the end, we saw that dutch insisted investigation was able to identify the people responsible for firing that boot missile that brought that plane down,

killing hundreds of civilians. it took years, but they got there in the end. and a lot of people i spoke to and boucher gonna hoping that that's also going to happen here. there's already a lot of information being gathered and people being asked to tell the stories to the authorities. nick, thank you very much for your reporting. that was our correspondent, nick connelly in kian. moldova is appealing for help and coping with the influx of refugees from ukraine, some 100000 people who fled to the small country, which is one of europe's poorest. the u. s. has just pledged $45000000.00 euros and assistance, and germany's government is hosting a donor conference to raise money for more dover. a former soviet republic is sandwiched between romania and ukraine. d. w correspond christine one wall filed this report from its 2nd biggest city. or hey, it's humble homes like these in this village in all, hey,

about 100000 are still in the country. moldova authority said they need help looking after them. the 1st responder for the support was definitely the government of republic of lava. at the same time, i saw a b, g, a port from the population civilian population, without with the international support, we cannot face entire the f, one g's to support them. that support is now slowly coming in and it will go a long way in helping the ukrainian refugees and the modem. evans, who helped them and from mold of his capital kitchen on join. now by our correspond, christine, when one who filed that report, christine, what kind of support do the refugees in moldova need most urgently. hi theory i learned to people who've come to my hand,

little more than the women with their children here and need the necessary supplies . i'm talking about feminism, hygiene, everything. that is what you would consider the basic needs ms. moore, in those israeli about the hospitality that, that has been extended by the area of the one 100000 people that are still in a building 90000. but they're being housed in the home of the government. all of the reception, if you will, for many people in them because they're candidates and if any of these new job and also i need help. so as we understand it's money seems to trickle in we also international relations is going to be there. just gonna go to the refugee refugees, if there is a small rather poor country. ukrainians are fleeing in all directions. why are so

many arriving in moldova? well, this is an, this becomes a very easy way to centurylink romania, which is wilson in this case. and then people can flow into different directions and what i understood is since the beginning of the invasion, i'm literally going back since of february. yes. about 400000 people most through mobiles. and many of them have stayed on the 25 people that have been through a different because that is the 50 at the border is closer to the meeting with me in addition to people few days with a people to remain in the places. and we've been helping people the trunk course and the friendship game today. they'll berlin is hosting an international aid conference today for mold of what is called over hoping will come out of this

conference. well as an interest to go and again, not just to be ukrainian refugees, but also the move in to have gone to help the the ukrainian refugees. there is also the anticipation of what company is, the situation that deteriorates. the placement is preparing to pass the they are preparing the bid and the humidity in response to potentially more people coming in and the kind of numbers that we gave the right it was most people that had been speaking to a ramp in, in february, mitre on the day of the invasion, they heard the news they had, they paid for a few days in return. they've now say they realize they need to settle down here and who will the children will break the can emission gets to find the so this money will be needed to to, to help me. i just needed the little which you can save me and get into the job

market and and get the kids into christine. thank you very much. so our correspondent christine manuel. will those discoveries we mentioned earlier in boucher have prompted germany to expel 40 russian diplomats. france and lithuania have announced similar moves. german foreign minister analynn about bach, said germany 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 identified with life. if he hadn't will, you will strengthen our support for ukraine's defense. i admire. boucher and mary, you paul, have shown us this is a life or death situation for millions of ukrainians. my mention in that we're

considering delivering weapon systems that we had held back until now. deviate busy initially, photography. 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 guests. 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 bon, 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, take a shot at a gas embargo would hit germany's middle class, the hardest, the opposition see the you warns that this must be taken into consideration. miss bigs 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 germans 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 debate political correspond, manuel shaws is covering this story, enjoined just l. m. a. germany says it will impose more sanctions on russia, following the discovery, those of parents atrocities in boucher what kind of sanctions are we talking about? well, 1st of terry reese, just then into a report, this is very significant because germany has been criticized also by it's western allies for opposing, for example,

a fool embargo on russian gas for taking too long to send to decide on sending weapons, which now the country has pledged to do and now we see germany imposing those feather sanctions, dozens of diplomats of russian diplomats have been expelled with we've just seen for him. and it's not in our book saying that those envoy, i quote, have worked every day here in germany against our freedom against our cohesion. the cohesion of our society book also said that germany will no longer tolerate a deal to people expelled, will have 5 days to leave the country. this is just a 1st reaction to the atrocities committed in boucher more ought to come with chancellor. all actual, it's saying that those are being discussed with western eyes at the moment they will be aimed up economy cli weakening russia. we can think of more sanctions on the pudding and his circles, personal effects, for example,

more sanctions on the russian financial markets. berlin is also putting the germans subsidiary of the russian state own gas company gas from under the control of regulators. how significant is this again, terry? very significant. it's something that the vice chancellor and economy minister, robert hobbin says, will prevent germany being exposed to arbitrary decisions by the kremlin and what he called a necessary step to ensure the security of god's supplies. now why is this because gas from germany? germany's assets include company dealing with transport was trading and we storage all russian gas to germany and in putting gas from germany under the control of german regulators. while the government ensures that moscow and that, that germany and not moscow controls are process. thank you very much. our political correspondent and manuel shaws their of course,

will continue to update you on the latest developments in ukraine throughout the day. meanwhile, here's a quick look at some other stories making headlines. china has indefinitely extended a lockdown in shanghai, western districts, as it tries to contain the city's biggest ever covered 19 outbreak. more than 10000 health workers have been sent to the financial capital to assist with the operation . the city said it tested all, it's 26000000 residents on monday as part of its 0 covered, dra, starting on may 1st. germany says it will no longer impose compulsory quarantines on people infected with the corona virus. the health minister says medical staff will be the only exception for every one else. isolation will be strongly recommended, but not required by law. and kenyon, motorists have endured another day of major fuel shortages, waiting in line for hours as petrol pumps run drive. the government blames hoarders for the shortfall, but oil dealers said they were oh,

they were owed subsidy payments from the state kanyes energy regulator. so the shortages were also exacerbated by international fuel markets being hit by the war in ukraine. well that war in ukraine has pushed the e u to take steps to reduce its dependency on russian gas and moved toward cleaner 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 thing, but doing and others simply put,

they are lying. and the results will be catastrophic. these is a calamity 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 1.5 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 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 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. now to the western ukrainian city of levine worth there always been street musicians. but now during the russian invasion there more than just entertainment residence of levine, say the music they play and songs they saying bring comfort and remind them of better times. ah, the 2nd time today, air raid sirens and leave, people rush off to find shelter. oh, oh no. when the all clear is given a different sound is heard,
