investigators in ukraine get down to the task of prosecuting alleged russian war crimes. well then, $13000.00 cases could eventually come before the corpse and texas police under pressure over the elementary school massacre. as breathing families joined calls for stricter gun controls. there are questions over how long it took the emergency team to respond. plus london in the grip of aba fever. sweeney superstars in the seventy's and eighty's launched their new show. digital wizard re allows the group to appear on stage as their younger cell. ah. hello, i'm terry martin. good with us. ukraine is warning that russia is edging closer to

surrounding ukrainian troops in the eastern dumbass region. russian forces are launching attacks on dozens of towns and the provinces of lo hunter, and announced the advance could be a turning point in moscow's efforts to consolidate control in the east. ukrainian president vladimir zalinski as calling for more support from western allies for civilians under fire. it's increasingly difficult to find refuge from the fighting . my right, this is what life in ukraine's east looks like now. residents of the city of lucy, chance desperate to escape the constant shelling shelter here in this basement wasn't using many here urgently need medical supplies, but traveling to get them is too risky. well, not only a kid, so my father suffered a stroke and there are many others in these houses who need medication. one of those are when you come into your green says the fighting in the east is fiercer

than ever. with nearly all of the lu hans district under josh and control, some of the shades of scrub the situation remains difficult and is getting worse. let's bring him. the enemy is using all its power and means to capture our territory and surround our troops in the fighting has reached its maximum intensity . to date, mister william was several among some on my income. certainly still. moscow has set of fights on gaining control of the dunbar. you preens industrial hot land russian tubes attempting to encircle ukrainian forces by seizing t. hi vi's in the details. manage the current offensive by russia in the don bus could make the region uninhabitable. putting pressure on russia is literally a matter of saving lives. and every day of delay weakness, debates or proposals to pacify the aggressor at the expense of the victim means

more ukrainians killed white g grange. ukraine says 50 towns and the dejan came under shelling thursday, which killed at least 9 people. for the reduction troops gaining ground, residents, hill, c, no escape in sight with earlier i spoke to our correspond rebecca richards, who's in t f. i asked her how ukraine is doing and its efforts to stop russia advancing in the east. well, you had a little bit there and that report, terry not, not very well at the moment. so this is a really defining moment in this conflict and, and ukraine now admitting that they are losing the upper hand in the don't bass region. the governor of la hans saying that new crime controls only 5 percent of that area now with russians advancing that was last week. that was 10 percent so you can see that they really are moving forward. they are advancing in the ukrainians. really outnumbered by people and weapons, most of all and they're just not able to stop them advancing. or the russians are

trying to encircle troops around in la hans around that city. sarah, have several donetta. it's been spoken about a lot in this part of the conflict, and they are actually succeeding. they are surrounding that city by on 3 sides now . and they are, ukraine is really struggling to hold them back. russia now controls a substantial part of eastern and southern ukraine, much more territory than what the separatist fell before the invasion began. we know rebecca, what life is like for ukrainians living in there's newly occupied regions. well, pretty dia, by all accounts. you had some, some accounts there in that report. i mean, what we've been hearing is that people are largely having to live on the ground. and people for weeks now have had a very no, almost no utilities, no electricity's, no communication. and it fast running out of supplies, medicines, i mean, it's hot enough for able bodied people living there in the region. but all the more

hard for those people, as you heard in that report, people have had strokes or who might be not able bodied. i mean, this is a really dire situation. they're struggling to get food. and we were hearing a couple of days ago that aid was still able to get into some parts of lou hans. but as the russians advance him and cut off those roadways, that's becoming harder and harder and life will get harder for the people living there. in his latest video address, present, zalinski accused the west of quote, playing around with russia instead of putting pressure on the kremlin. how worried is the government innkeeper that it's western partners will let you crane down? well, i think at this point quite worried terry. i mean that, you know, zalinski has been calling for weapons throughout this entire conflict. and he then was, you know, getting the response that he needed from the western community, particularly the u. s. and he seemed to be quite happy with what was being offered . but now, as we're seeing, the finding intensify that they're just out numbers,

he's saying that, you know, it's all very well that you've pledged these weapons, but now can you please deliver them? and in fact, we need more. i mean, they suddenly made things like multiple rocket launches and they sort of big weapons because they just really outnumbered. i mean, in some areas we're hearing that for every rob loads from the ukrainian side, you've got 10 to 20 coming back in the other direction. so they really outnumbered as it was, he definitely worried that he's going to be left out in the cold here, really needing more support from the is national community, very critical of nato and quite critical of b u as well. rebecca, thank you very much. that was our correspondent rebecca ritter's there in chia to captured. russian soldiers have heated guilty at the 2nd war crimes trial to be held in ukraine. they're facing up to 12 years in prison for allegedly shelling civilian infrastructure. the case is just one of thousands that ukrainian authorities are investigating and fresh evidence of war crimes is found nearly

every day. this report from dw mcsaunder contains images that some could find upsetting. deep inside the forest lies and anonymous grace. whoever chose this place didn't want anyone to find it. 2 months after the end of the russian occupation here, the body of a ukrainian man was on earth. his passport found here by the police say the death of the 56, you will to billing is linked to the russian aggression. nothing unusual these days that hold them. we found many and we will find more because a lot of people are still missing. a lot of people died. a lot of people were buried for much lot, those rules occult them if the victims daughter is on the scene, she tells us her father went missing on the 18th of march during the russian occupation. it's neither solutions. i only know you woke down to his house and didn't return more. i think he went to feed the dog of the neighbor who had left. i didn't know where else he would have gone with

a lot of sticky ways. miss. beneath it, so far, clues are limited as to what happened to her father on his passport shows red stains on it, possibly blood. boucher hostile mill hairpin. these towns have become synonymous with russian war crimes. worth in the 1000 people were killed in boucher alone. a neighbouring her pin, the cemetery has changed in appearance with hundreds of freshly dug graves to day streets and the area are lined with destroyed houses and shops all over town, reminders of terrific acts of violence like these cars attacked with weapons of war . so all the vehicles are see here are civilian vehicles that were used by people from boucher to try to flee from the russians and flee from the fighting. just like this vehicle over here. as we learned, it was struck in the back while trying to exit the town. it was hit by heavy machine gun fire and the bullets traveled through the entire car hitting in the

back. next thing at the fronts and killing at least one person inside. one of more than 3000 war crimes that are now being investigated in the key of region alone, an arduous task. but authorities are making some games. we know we have already fixed that 300 percent from russia on, in key region near to where mentioned here in our church. and when also was it? so they went from special forces from russian federation. they came here, we have their names, their names, also even their families the default, but with them being out of reach of ukrainian authorities. what are the prospects of bringing these men to justice? but it's where they couldn't visit any, come through is a, have a possibility to be arrested. so anyway, you know that if somewhere they will come international court and international police officers and maybe to pull the final them and arrested. so we hope that they will find the punishment because they are guilty. so for fewer than

50 alleged russian war criminals remain ukrainian custody. satellite images have become one of the main sources of information about what's happening. earth war unfolds photos and videos taken from space, documented bents on the ground, and can provide vital evidence of atrocities. images like this one, showing the destruction of mario paul, a providing crucial insights into russia's war in ukraine. satellite technology has become a game changing tool in documenting atrocities. this is mary, you pulled before the russian invasion there. this is how the city looked afterwards. merry you pulse theater where hundreds of civilians were sheltering before a devastating air strike. the word children is written on the ground on either side of it as this next image shows that did nothing to deter the attackers. these are

just some examples of how satellite imagery often captured by commercial companies as helping investigators pinpoint what's happening on the ground. when russian troops withdrew from the city of boucher, near kiff, ukrainian forces discovered streets lined with the bodies of civilians. russia claimed these scenes were staged by ukraine after its troops had gone. but a satellite image showed what appeared to be bodies lying in the street nearly 2 weeks before the russians left the town. it showed how these pictures can also provide evidence of potential war crimes year, so called nick, what we have conclusive evidence, model, satellite images. and we can conduct a full and transparent investigation. that is what we're interested in, a maximum access for journalists, maximum cooperation with international institutions. involvement of the international criminal court, complete truth and full accountability. commercial satellites mean pictures like

these, showing what appears to be mass grave. and now widely available. it's changing the way will crimes are investigated and could pre vital in ukraine's efforts to hold perpetrators to justice. home port is satellite imagery in the investigation of alleged russian war crimes in ukraine. i asked our military analyst franklin, which well, very good morning. the recent history showed this to be absolutely crucial, even going back into the ninety's with strep on it. so whether serves were claiming that nothing had happened. satellite image is quite primitive by today's standards . demonstrated the mass grades have been dug under. preparations have been made for advance. these instruments are now absolutely central in war crimes investigations, especially for corroboration. so there you have a lot of evidence in your report from human witnesses. people go missing another

other evidence. so what satellites can do is corroborate that. they can tell you from looking at the military vehicles what units, whether they can tell you the date and time of the images to a really close degree of decisions. and as we've seen in boucher that's been really, really important. how detailed or are these images frank, do they allow for identification of individuals, vehicles and so on? civilian satellites have resolutions of which are the ones that you saw that the images of about 15 centimeters, not sci fi. and it takes quite a while to get down to that. so, and usually it's about 30 centimeters, not provide a great deal of detail. what it can't do is tell you the identity of individuals, but it can tell you that people are, they're usually what they're wearing colors and so forth. again, with a little bit of a little bit of work military satellites getting to the point now where you almost

could recognize people down to 5 centimeters resolution. and it's worth saying by the way, that the military satellite and civilian, they use what's called synthetic oper, to radiate radar. they can see through cloud to low the resolution as a considerably less. so the answer is you can get to a pretty severe degree of accuracy. now, your expertise is military analysis. talk to us about the military value of satellite imagery for the 2 sides in this war, or 2. so from the start of the war, the build up of russian forces and that was for commercial imagery. so a stress of military which tends to be a bit more bit more precise, but it's still really impressive. so in the visual field, in the visual part of the spectrum, you are watching what happens in real time. don't forget, the russians can do that too. so it's very difficult to keep secrets about movement . but there are other parts of the electromagnetic spectrum which it almost is important that even more so what's called

a measurement and signature intelligence. so that can tell you in a dynamic battlefield, all the other things that are going on are missiles being launched. when, when a stroke, how many missiles of stroke artillery concentrations happening, which won't necessarily appear on photographs. but a very, very useful familiar channel is to put together a multi spectral image of a dynamic, fast moving battlefield. they're absolutely essential now satellites to military activities. frank, thank you very much, shaw. that was our military analyst, frank let, which he, terry ministers from the group of 7 leading industrial nations are holding climate talks here in berlin spiraling energy costs and fuel shortage is caused by the war in ukraine are dominating the agenda. germany says the g 7 can spearhead the fight against global warming by facing out coal power in east western governments also want to reduce their dependence on russian and fossil fuel. or political

correspondents, julia saw deli, is at the g 7 meeting here in berlin. i asked her whether the member countries had any concrete had made any concrete agreements. well, i've just come out of a press conference with the u. s. climate envoy, john kerry, and germany's climate, an economy minister hall, but how big. and they just announced a new climate partnership between the u. s. and germany is a partnership that is focused on many different points, but the focus is on the fact that these 2 countries are being defined as so called the 1st movers in terms of energy transition. and move towards a more sustainable energy production. and they intend to work specifically on these topics. they want to work towards building up offshore, wind building of hydrogen production, especially for industry purposes. and they also pledge to want to reduce methane use by 30 percent by 2030. so this is an ongoing partnership,

but already some interesting points being made today. russia's war against ukraine is a huge concern for g 7 countries. how has that impact of the meeting julia? well, it has definitely been a central issue here. also looking at the fact that quite a few of the g 7 countries have become quite dependent on russian energy over the last few decades. if you look at germany or if you look at italy, for example, and that the, the whole process now of trying to move away and reduce this dependency on russian fossil fuels is ongoing. the challenge here is to try to a further pursue the energy transition and the move towards renewable energy, even a while having to fill a gap in energy sources. and that is a challenge that the minister for germany of about habit has also highlighted here today. that was the w political correspondent, julius self deli,

at the g 7 meeting here in berlin. now police in texas are facing criticism over how long it took them to respond to an elementary school shooting that killed. 19 children in 2 teachers officer shot dead, the attacker nearly an hour after he began to rampage. the massacre and you volley has re ignited the debate over gun control in the united states. did all of your stuff on c months, reports you well, the texas surrounded by corn farms and kettle range is just about 85 kilometers from the u. s. border with mexico, the small town in the south of the lone star state has become a household name for most americans recently, for all the wrong reasons. a few days ago the world was turned on its head for this type of community. when an 18 year old gunman stormed into rob elementary school, killing 19 students, and 2 teachers, i heard say,

really hurts or where are her. we never thought this would happen. here is just a little small town. everybody is pain stricken fields, paralyzed and is in the state of emotional shock. even her children can feel the pain. jeriso says they see me crying, they ask me, why do i cry? and i go because i don't know what i would do without them. and i know it hurts to see other parents what they're going through. it literally does it hurt and i, man, i can't sleep. i can sleep at night knowing that those children went to school thinking that they were safe after almost no communication to the public in to the media, the police. finally, days after the massacre and rob elementary school came out with more information about the timeline about what had happened here. the teenage shooter enters the elementary school through an unlocked door guns blazing. 4 minutes later, local police departments are inside. make an entry. the hear gunfire they take rouse, they move back,

get cover. the officers pinned down called for help and help arrives. but only late, too late, many se, approximately an hour later. you with border patrol. tactical teams arrive. they make it shoot and kill the suspect. despite the many unanswered questions, the parents and loved ones of those who died still half despite the grief and pain they and the whole town feuds right now, many hear speak up demanding tighter gun control measures. gun laws have to be more strict are is too easy. here to get a gun after support background checks and lisa longer process than they get the rifles or any any pistols. it's too easy here to get a gun. just across the street from another makeshift memorial for the victims of america's latest mess, shooting. this school years, top 10 performing high school students are probably displayed in front of city hall,

almost as if nothing had happened at all in you've of the texas las vegas mother stories making headlines around the world today. the palestinian authority says the l g 0 reporter, serene abu clay was killed deliberately by an israeli soldier, the journalists death 2 weeks ago during an israeli operation in the west bank caused international outrage. palestinian leadership rejected israel's request for a joint investigation. senegal has begun 3 days of morning, 411 newborn babies killed in a hospital fire. official say, a short circuit started the blaze. the disaster has brought calls for more accountability in the west african nation. and the un security council has again failed to impose tough new sanctions on north korea. china and russia vetoed a resolution put forward by the united states in response to pyongyang slightest

160 cameras over 5 weeks. 23 songs were selected, including some from the new album. and although the musicians aren't on stage in person, that doesn't mean they don't have stage fright. we don't know how the audience will react. i mean, they come there and they see us, but they know that the actually it's not us. the bond is real. we real here but not on stage. was it be like sort of applauding a painting or something? i don't know. ah, if the avatars are convincing and the rush for tickets continues. there could be concerts in the arena and london for years to come. mm. i bought as no plans. and it is what it is. and i mean, we put our hearts and souls into these alpha taught us, and they will take on from now i
