about time presenting futures past starts april 14th on d. w. ah . ah, this idea renews life from brilliant. the un brutes, russia office, human rights council. the general assembly votes overwhelmingly to suspend russia as global outrage. mouse over mass killings in the town of boucher and civilian deaths throughout ukraine, also coming up an urgent plea from ukraine's foreign minister. either you help us now and i'm speaking about days not weeks or you help

will come to late as eastern ukraine. braces for a new russian offensive cave asked the west for more weapons to fend off the assault. also, on the show, more evidence of the devastation left behind by a russian troops after that were drawn from northern ukraine. a small town of vicki for saw intense fighting between russian and ukrainian forces, dw corresponded, nick only spoke to residence about their harrowing experience, living under russian occupation. ah. hello everyone, i'm layla iraq. thank you very much for your company. we open this broadcast with breaking developments. the un general assembly has voted to suspend russia for ms. human rights counsel, as motion was brought forward by the united states,

and it condemned the quote, gross and systematic violations and abuses of human rights by russian troops in ukraine. russia called the decision politically motivated and illegal. moscow continues to claim without any proof that evidence of a massacre of civilians in the key suburb of boucher was staged. i think as get you more on these waking developments. so want to pull in there in his paul did abuse washington bureau chief in as it talk to us about the significance of this decision. yes, you said layla the boarding was really overwhelming. 93. well, it's in favor while only 24 countries voted know 58 countries abstain. so this is really the necessary to 3rd majority. and this is rare, this has never happened before. but we also have to keep in mind that the general assembly, early on in this war, voted with 141 of the 193 countries for resolution condemning

russians invasion. so there is a little bit of a change and this might have something to do with a threat. russia put out we hear. a that they threatened countries who wanted to walk in favor and saying there is no such thing as a neutral ground. so, countries that i quote to you, a russia decided to abstain the world will be considered as unfriendly in their eyes as a can this decision be appealed in as no, it can't be appealed. only the assembly itself can kind of appeal it. so what is possible, a rush, i can still be sitting in the human rights council listening in, but they are not allowed to participate in the regard that they are allowed to speak there. so no, there is no way that russia can fight the outcome of this vote in his for their reporting or breaking a development set. russia being suspended from the you and human rights council.

thank you so very much enough for that update all our back to our other top story. nato foreign ministers meeting in brussels, have vow to send more military and humanitarian aid to ukraine. the pledge came after ukraine's foreign minister made an impassioned plea for help to fight off a renewed russian assault in the countries east. you are secretary of state antony blank and says mounting evidence of russian atrocities have given extra urgency to efforts to 8 keith. take a lesson and i can say unequivocally from my discussions with many colleagues here in recent days, colleagues from around the goal, the revulsion and what the russian government is doing is powerful. there's a greater determination that over to staff with ukraine to shore up and revitalize the international order that mosque i was trying to weapon to bring to bear even greater costs on the russian government to ensure that people were held accountable

for their crimes. and there was the u. s. secretary of state antony blank and speaking at moments ago, let's take her now to nato headquarters. should he w's a correspondent, thera terry shows a terry very strikingly, the secretary of state was very empathetic and expressed great empathy for the victims of this war at the start of his address. will that now translate into more weapons for keep so he can defend itself. your right layla. it was a very unusual monologue from secretary blink. and as he started this press conference where he actually told personal stories that ukrainian citizens had suffered there at the hands of russian troops, multiple anecdotes, he told us. and so i will not be surprised if after this meeting that allies do commit to send more weapons cranium,

foreign minister to meet your cool about as he left the meeting said that he was cautiously optimistic. that more assistance would be on the way. but the issue isn't as cool, eva said that more weapons would come. it's whether they would come in time and that's still going to be a problem. now terry, you had a very interesting exchange with the secretary and you press them on, you know, whether he was able to give his ukrainian counterpart a satisfactory timeline on the delivery of new a. what exactly did he tell you? that's right. as minister kula said and, and he put all allies in the same basket basically saying that, you know, we've told you what we needed and we told you a long time ago what we needed and look, now you've got the atrocities in boucher and other cities. so i asked secretary blink and how he sits across the table from minister cool and says, yeah, we're thinking about what else we can provide you. when kula says, we don't have days, we need this assistance now. and secretary of lincoln would give no specifics

either on what exactly might be on his way to cave or when it might be able to get there. he did say that he has multiple conversations every week with his ukrainian counterparts. he said that they get into the details and that he can assure us that as we speak today, that more assistance is on its way. but no specifics on how quickly it could get there. or what exactly might be checked off of demitra, coo, labor's a list of, of his wants and needs. so not committing a to specifics. despite you were pressing him actually repeatedly. how do nato leaders believe this conflict will go on from here? no, good news. there. layla secretary general stilton berg earlier said that when russian troops said that they were pulling out and when we did see them withdraw from, from the capitol region, they weren't going home. they were simply pulling back to resupply themselves, as they prepare for a major on slot in don bus, where the fighting is already of course, very fierce and,

and the killing the already already very high. they say that a major offensive is on the way there in eastern ukraine, so that more atrocities are certain to be on the way. in fact, secretary of lincoln said, as we are here today in nato headquarters, surely more atrocities are being committed. so certainly, even if he gets more weapons to meet or columbus said, it's very, very late and you're not going to be able to prevent a lot of the death that are happening now. as we wait, terry shows reporting from nato headquarters in brussels. thank you very much for your continued coverage where leaders have condemned the apparent war crimes committed by russian forces in ukraine. evidence is now mounting of civilian killings, rape and torture. authorities are still trying to identify hundreds of victims of atrocities in the town of boot shop. on the outskirts of keith and his russian troops were draw from the north of the country. locals are starting to come out of hiding and taking stock after nearly a month. under russian occupation and d,

w. 's, nick holly visit at this small town of bee cave, which found itself in the middle of intense fighting between russian and ukrainian forces from late february and he spoke to residence, struggling to make sense of what happened to them. this is, we give a small town, it's just emerging from a month and a russian occupation month in which it was on the front lines. she, russian and ukrainian forces. toys was sometimes just the woods. people were children. it's as much as many residents of this ukrainian town could think of a plea to the russian troops to leave them and their families alone. and they hid in their homes who disagree with what's a theme new people in this village spent 27 days without water on the 27 days without bread. we grew up when you had a demon his wife held out for 3 weeks until the shelling became too much to bear. and they were finally able to leave for

a neighboring village of them up when they got back of the cranium. military had retaken the town, their home would be ransacked by retreating russian troops. a, they've got it, everything carried everything out. all that's laughter, the walls and the sofa. the and then you, they've taken all the electronics. i don't even know where they put it all over the months they were here, the russians really changed for the worse. and this is just disgusted at the thought that they were moving around and eating in my house. at least he didn't sleep here with the full, a dozen cooked doll is relo to puberty. goodness, carlo. they just destroyed things for the sake of it, him on the road. he'll never believe in it. but the impact on this community goes far beyond limited homes. locals to this, they were kidnapped and detained in sellers for days on end. accused by the russians of helping the ukrainian military. several residents still missing fit,

killed. a priest arrives the neighboring village when supplies for those. we've lost almost everything, but it's not food or money that the locals are asking for. why and what was a local put the people here need tranquilizers were many of them have lost everything. with that they spent a lifetime saving for wallace. with this, with their houses, sought their cars. it's all gone into separate from what you both shows as the damp seller when she her husband and her neighbors spent some of the coldest nights of the year. no truth done yet. and i agree of medical. we weren't just hearing the shelling, we could feel it. everything was shaking really. all we could do is pray that it wouldn't hit us. we just kept praying. supplies like these people above and has been going during the weeks. andrew occupation for the shop stayed shut and leaving home would have meant running a gauntlet or was it that he has got us by the time he'd be knocking down these

steps a few times, you lose the well to do anything else. to both tells us she and every one she knows is exhausted to washington who is waiting for something they can't quite define unable to ever let go. mercy me said we didn't used to understand what it was that people and on boss have been going through all these years stuck in their sellers. the last month has taught us what war is, is name certificate. for now, the russian army has been pushed back more than a 100 kilometers to fear they might return suddenly, as they appeared never far away or says invading ukraine, russian forces of attack more than 100 medical facilities. the world health organization says more hospitals and health care facilities have been attacked around the globe this year than ever recorded. ah, the moment a bomb exploded in the city of mary, our pole. and this is what was hit
