we've come across a heard of images of mass graves there as well. what can you tell us? well, air does images come from a u. s. or satellite from a private you a private u. s. company, and indeed it looks like a mass grave or was it was dug in near my you ball. and there is mounting evidence according to united nations of war. crimes committed by russians are dead as they advance are within the country. so those are those images only add up to an or it to an already long list of possible war crimes are arbitrary killings of civilians and mass graves being dug. we also have reports that are very difficult to verify, but we have reports of or more by a crematorium used by a russian cell. these 2 are to we raised the evidence of does crime. so this is a very, a very dramatic situation, but also

a situation that is very difficult to assess or winter than is simply do not have access to the ground. and just the last quick question for me when you and the secretary general of the united nations antonia terrace, is going to both moscow and keep in the coming days to talk to the presidents there . and it hope chances of a breakthrough to think well, it's very difficult to assess at this stage. we know that's a vladimir putin has voiced. he's a dissatisfaction in russia over the way what he calls a west rissa phobia rhetoric if you will. so of course it is good that there still a dialogue open with the united nations. but i would say that given what we see here on the ground over the past 2 months that it, there is a little hope that this visit will drastically improve things on the ground may be it will lead to humanitarian corridors, but they haven't been established permanently here since they were needing since

the beginning of the war, so only a little hope here that was d. w 's emanuel charles, speaking to us earlier from levine, is work now at some of the other developments in ukraine war. russia has confirmed the death of one of the crew members of its flagship, miss al cruiser moskva. a week after it sank in the black sea, the ministry of defense had nearly 400 crew members were evacuated. kremlin critic suspects however much higher number of dead and missing, saying the ship's crew was about 500 strong. according moscow has ordered opposition. actress vladimir kara morsa to remain in pretrial detention. he's accused of spreading fake news about russia's army after denouncing the war. kara morris has long been a critic of the kremlin and has survived to poison attacks. human rights groups have called for his release. the who remember bronco bob, french president, emmanuel mccoy and as far right challenger marine, the pen have made their final push for votes before sundays. presidential run off

whole show the race is much tighter than 5 years ago when french voters faced the same choice. but michael is expected to when many people say they're undecided or ambivalent. his campaign slogan is all of us, but it's not entirely clear how much of friends will be with him. i knew him a call at the ballot box on sunday. both the far right opposition candidates marrying le pen, and the incumbent president has been making a final push for votes. almost hopefully we won't unite the country only promising and reaping and financing nothing. well. we won't win any badges on misunderstandings unless it is also the latest polls show that my call seems to have extended his lead. but le pen is not giving up with we miss a whistle does. yeah,

that's not the polls that make an election. you know, we often say the polls make the campaign a don't make the election. so i keep that moto, the reason both are vying for votes from supporters of far left candidate zone. luke milan, sean, who won 20 percent in the 1st round on the streets of paris. neither le pen nor my call are popular with this key group of voters that we haven't had a choice in the 2nd round for ages. i'll go for the lease worst choice. i won't be voting for the right or the extreme right. you. it's become a campaign of style over substance. my call attempting to shake off a reputation for arrogance and connect with working class voters. le pen trying to portray herself as a serious states woman after sunday's election. my course expected to keep the keys to the eliza palace. though it's a tougher fight than many expect it. but with millions undecided and unhappy with

both candidates. there's no clear winner in sundays, deciding round of my call versus lipkin. most opinion polls put a manual knuckle ahead of his challenger. earlier i asked you to view correspondence on your fellow car in paris about the chance of any major upset in the election. well i think as victory is really, you know, not, not absolutely not certain. you know what is crucial here is that backer where the macro managers to sway voters on the far left? i think this is really the whole, the key there about 7000000 of them voted for far left candidate john look mental shaw in the 1st round and many of these voters, you know, really intensely dislike mccall. they see him as an economic liberal. they feel as economic policies of favor, the rich, this, the inequalities of white and during histone. so i think a lot depends on whether these voters will vote from across, abstain, or, or even migrate to the pen kept, you know, in boston elections in france, whether it's been to keep up marina. been all her father,

french motors have traditionally, you know, put aside the political differences and joined together to vote out any far right candidate from joining the government. this time around that is less clear. and why is this race between the 2 candidates who faced each other 5 years ago? it's so much tighter this time around. well, i think the answer was that the far right and francis simply gained ground with each election. and i think they've never been as strong as they are right now. literally within touching distance of the presidency. and i think part of the reason for this is that maureen le pen has run a very slick crossroads campaign. she's reached out to what he tells voters on the right. on the left, i managed to convince a large chunk of them that she is really the best bet to put more money in their pocket slash prices. she takes a concern seamlessly. this is also electric, that feels that mcroy is too arrogant and doesn't really care about the concerns. and i think the pen has also done a fairly good job of managing to read, you know,

torn down her parties of radical image and somehow normalize her body bring it in from the fringe and, and make the ideas of the spotty momentum. you're talking about the pen changing the parties, message and image and policies i was suppose to a certain extent. so let's say she gets elected. what would that mean for france and, and for his place in the world? what i think well, le pen has managed to, you know, kind of partly detoxify if you like about his image. but i think we have to be clear that she remains uniformly far right. nationalists in her roots. and i'm in the policies. i mean, if you go to her party platform, she has proposals in there where, you know, she says she wants to hold a referendum on immigration, she wants to deport foreigners of the employ unemployed for a year. she wants a french 1st policy when it comes to public housing and benefits. and wonderful key planks is to band the,

the wearing of the muslim headscarf in public. that would contradict frances international commitments. and she also wanted once to curtail the right to asylum, which would violate, you know, rules again in france. i think what the facial media should have been seeing is that many of the policies would actually require changes for the constitution. so i think there is no doubt that marilla pin remains a clear danger to. to frances democratic uh, foundations. in just a quick last question. if i may, you know, the franco german motor drives europe, the relationship with berlin is, is really critical to french foreign policy. if the pen is elected, does that all break down? that's right. i mean le pen a, you know, she's been in the last few weeks, are holding a couple of press conferences to come across is more credible. but instead, and i think that has been more scrutiny of her up her policies. and she has talked about, you know, kind of ending maybe military cooperation with germany. she's talked about putting

a distance with germany. and i think these are all really worrying signs that would obviously, of course put her on a direct collision course with brussels. and here's a look at some of the other new stories making headlines around the world. european union countries have reached a deal over major changes to digital content laws. after late night talks, the block will move ahead with the law forcing companies like facebook, twitter, and google to police content for issues. i just hate speech and this information 6 people were killed in somali as capital mogadishu. when a bomb went off in a beach side, restaurant valley is police chief and legislators were present when the explosion occurred, but were not harmed. somalia has seen a state of attacks and recently as it goes through a long delayed election process, the taliban say a bomb explosion that a mosque in the northern african city of couldn't do it, has killed at least 33 people, dozens more or injured. it follows an explosion to nearby missouri sharif on

one country is noticeably absent, russia, it's pavilion is empty. the curator and artists quit in protest against russia's war near by a monument to ukraine, suffering a tower of sandbags like those currently protecting ukraine's cultural heritage from russian bombs. posters of new ukrainian artworks attest to the violence. the originals can't be here because of the war. our mission as a, as an institution is always to support a piece of support collaboration. so we wanted to support as much as we could that by dissipation of the ukraine empathy. again, of course, this is a, it's nothing compared to what they had to little in all personally, and psychologically the 70 bronze funnels and ukrainian artist pablo mockups fountain were finished just days before the war. they made it to safety and the

trunk of a curator's car. ukraine's presence here, despite the war, is seen as a trial we are facing though, a huge conflict between 2 gods as italy. feel our culture though culture, that's what it is because it behind any war, there is a, there is a cultural crisis. lack of says, russian missiles were flying overhead when he left, his hometown harkey. his work titled the fountain of exhaustion symbolizes humanity . stretched to the limit. another exhibition at the venice b. a nala, it's called this is ukraine, defending our freedom. the show features works by ukranian and international artists like this flag by damien hirst. the butterflies that are attached to it are incredibly fragile and you can touch them. they are as unprotected as ukrainians. they are falling, fragility strength and defiance. ukraine is sending

a signal that its culture is endangered, but still alive. there watching dw news here is a reminder of our top story. ukraine president vladimir zalinski has warned that russia could expand its war to neighboring moldova, after a russian military commander, set at aim to seize territory, right across southern ukraine and reached the mil dover border. holdover has demanded. russia respect it's neutrality. next up, check it the most popular destinations in baton bloomberg. remember you can always get the latest news on our website, d, w dot com and follows on social media that we joined later by michael. oh cool. i'm nick spicer. meanwhile, thanks welcome
