ah ah ah, this is d w. news live from bill that the european union agrees a ban on most russian oil imports by the end of the year. it's the harshest measure get imposed to punish moscow for its aggression in ye credit and war crimes war crimes rather under the spotlight ukrainians. prosecutors meet with international

investigators, but holding the guilty to account could get harder as more areas come under russian control and european footballs. governing body commissions and independent report after chaotic and violent scenes outside the stadium before the champions league final impacts. ah, i'm anthony, how'd it's good to have you with us. the european union has handed down its harshest measures yet to punish russia for its aggression in g crack. after weeks of wrangling, the 27, a member states meeting in brussels have agreed to been most seaborne imports of russian oil by the end of the year hungry. opposed a total embargo because it relies heavily on brush and supplies. some a you later said it was the best deal that could be achieved. nick, to our bonus,

celebrating his 59th birthday at the ears summit here in brussels. the hungarian prime minister, however, already got his presence in the wee hours when your leaders agreed on an embargo on russian oil. but with exemptions for hungary and others. each commission presidential de la funder line, still presented the water down deal as a success. these sanctions are biting heart and are really, are destroying. and that's the goal on the basis their financial basis of put in leading this war and hitting hard the russian economy. the ear plans to cut only russian oil that's transported by c hungary, slovakia, and the czech republic can continue to receive oil by pipeline for now. according to you, officials in total 90 percent of fresh and oil imports, the block will stop by year's end. even those countries that would have liked to

see as strict, your embargo say it was most important to show unity. i was positively surprised because her, when we went into the room, the signs were not that great, but everybody was very constructive. those who expect that huge cat are fresh and gas as a next step are likely to be disappointed. though my gum, it is a lot easier to compensate for russian oil. we managed to solve technical problems with victor alba, and guess is a different story. that's way a gas embargo won't be part of the next sanctions package. thank jones, wicked chain, theme of soaring energy prices all over the globe were also addressed, as well as global food shortages jew as to the war in ukraine. fordham ford, the responsibility for all dangers that we are facing lies clearly with russia and it's the president. that's why it's so important that we reinforce our efforts to make sure serial can be exported from ukraine. e leaders will gather again in gene

on this occasion. you can switch to join. the european union is likely to tap the agenda. i spoke to a correspondent in brussels, max and a short while ago. i asked him if, despite the compromises this deal represents a success for the european union. the commission president funnel and we just heard speaking and the counsel present shall michelle a after the end of day 2 of the some of your call this s success. and indeed it was a long process. it took almost a month since this was initially, initially brought up by the commission this, this, or this, this oil embargo on russia. it was a hard decision that is likely to also impact you economies to hurt them as well. and it already, we have already seen global market prices for oil going up with that being said, and despite hungry not having played along despite how hungry having an exception

here. and this embargo, we were looking at a potential reduction of 90 percent of oil that will be imported from russia to the u. this is going to have an impact on the russian economy. nevertheless, as of the big chunk of the russian budget, oil means diesel. it means petula means other types of products, and it's going to have an impact, a severe impact on all these. and these parts of the economy and the large industry in russia. bissell of fondling hinted, she wants more max, but is there anything more we can reasonably expect you to do at this point beyond this, in terms of imposing energy sanctions on russia? well, gas would be the, and the consequences would be the, the next escalation of measures against russia at the moment. but as we know, this is a very complicated subject. a lot of countries in that you are very dependent on russian gas, germany, one of the most dependent on it, on large parts of the industry, the chemical industry, for example,

to rely on russian, russian gas law and jobs and livelihoods are connected to it. so phasing it out is going to be very difficult for many countries. in the u. r. cons you're looking at alternatives, some liquefied natural gas, for example, the cabbie that can be imported from other countries, such as the u. s. or from, from katara. but the infrastructure has to be put in place, and then there are also other countries in the u. for example, belgium. they don't even have significant imports of russian guess we're. we said at the summit now that they are very hesitant. and in going further with this, with this measure, worrying about impacts us could have on the markets. so gases an oil is really, can be seen as an achievement, very difficult subject here, but gas is prov. we're not going to see that very soon. briefly max, what else came out of this e u summit? so another important issue was food security. ukraine is the bread best of the world in russia, essentially, blocking exports of grain. i'm from from ukraine to other port,

some of the poorest countries in africa. and in the middle east and the you is now trying to facilitate with a so called green lanes, the exports. and that cannot take place from cut from ports like of this right milk . as a russian navies blocking it to other countries in the you to keep the supply chains going from the respect of ports in an e u countries. so this is not another issue that was discussed that this are you leader summit, next and are in brussels. thanks so much for more on this at mchale critiquing is an oil and gas expect biased in i'll slow, i asked him earlier, just how much this partial oil embargo is going to hurt russians economy. the impact is going to be to remind us because we witness oil production sites and say the area slowing down and do the refineries and pressure. we sprint use a lot of work or refined products which you oh,

is exported to europe. they also will have to cut down their production will decrease, or some of them will close down, talk to me now and all that know if we consider all the impact on the industry. is that a hell oil in the process or can i believe that a ribbon use the restroom? federal budget this year or 5 are going to lose about 25 percent. we dressed 25 percent is such a massive figure that he has been discussing an oil embargo for weeks. and the deadline for this to come into effect is the end of the he has russia got time to work around this to 18 to that 25 percent hit. i believe that so the efforts what quite sincere, according to the declarations. all the rest of the government officials in the president itself, him self, but well, ever. it is important to doubt,

to re routing the export flows of or let the refined brother still to some other destinations, china and india. but we know that the transportation, the roads to china are loaded to full capacity. and just maybe added a couple of tankers, which would be able to deliver oil from bold to quartz to china, is not going to be a solution. and it is not prepared to accept more than maybe $5.00 to 6000000 dollars 1000000 dollars a year. and when we look at europe, europe is consuming about $110000000000.00 a year compared to the incremental delivers to india hypothetical. at this stage, i don't think in there can be a solution as well. so you're saying essence that, that these are the countries they cannot eat and they cannot take any of this surplus product with backing over. you think there's nothing on not much russia can

do to mitigate against this band. i are going to lose and lose big. yes, i think it is a pretty all. this is the thresh, he's going to lose about 22. so to percent of its own oil production this year and next year, if the situation persists, of the decrease will be about 50 percent over russia, russian oil production, the country is not going to be recognized as of the major energy power in the world . the flow won't affect to this to the, to the average russian. mikhail, what impact will these sanctions have been on the ordinary russian people? i think 1st of the oh, there will be quite a great wave of people coming from oil reach areas to center all the rational, seduce elza, unemployed, a labor force, and it will however,

it great impress. then i do not think that the russian government is go into degrees of the price over at gasoline and the diesel oil of her petrol stations because the government will need additional. oh, income for amr retail sales to compensate wire to a for the loss of revenues from exports. and so i do not believe that there will be any improvement for russian citizens in terms of the energy sector. i significant i oil and gas expert may have click critique in in oslo. many thanks for your time. the merits here. vote the net skin easton g krantz, is russian forces. now control about half the city. the relief organization estimates as many as $12000.00 civilians are trapped without food and power. unable to flee because of the heavy fighting. russia is trying to seize the entire don

best region, already partially and separate his tanf since 2014. he 20 president, for lot of miss lewinsky, says the city has st. destruction on a similar scale to marry upon a city under siege severely. danielle has been battered by intense shelling for weeks. now russian forces have entered the city and fears a growing that it may share mary paul's fate. thousands of civilians are thought to still be in the city, the largest in the loo, hantz region, still held by ukraine. according to the mare, the relentless bombardment has left it impossible to keep track of casualties with russia, bringing its overwhelming advantage in artillery to bear in its assault on the don bass, ukraine is pleading with its allies to provide it with more advanced long range

weapon systems. the u. s. was reportedly considering the move, but president biden has now thrown that into doubt a rotten with the rug. but while ukraine's allies debate russia continues to concentrate its fire power in the don bass. with some of the fighting has reached its maximum intensity with russian troops, firing along the entire line of contact and trying to fire artillery deep into our defenses. at the same time, the assault is continuing in several directions. they can call them up to him. for now at least ukrainian forces continue to fight on in the face of the russian onslaught. he crowns top prosecutor, is preparing to try dozens of suspected russian war criminals with hundreds more suspects on the investigation. she says the list include senior military officers,

politicians, and propaganda agents. some trials have already begun thanks to meticulous documentation on the ground to raise momentous and investigating potential war crimes could prove difficult as russia controls more territory. a warning that our next report contains some disturbing images. images that no one should have to see civilians strewn across the street in boucher the immediate aftermath of a strike on a maternity hospital in mary, you pull a mass grave holding the unidentified bodies of fathers, mothers, brothers, sisters, grand parents and children after ukrainian fighters pushed russian forces, back from towns and villages they'd occupied evidence of atrocities began to pile up all being documented by human rights groups, ukrainian officials and journalists on the ground. now almost 2 months later,

you cranes, prosecutor general, says, investigations are underway into well over 10000 suspected war crimes ranging from pillaging and looting rape, and summary execution to indiscriminate bombing of civilian infrastructure. the 1st war crimes trial concluded last week, resulting in a guilty verdict for a 21 year old russian soldier, charged with shooting an unarmed ukrainian man. but in the eastern don bass region where the war is still being fought, tracking down evidence and prosecuting potential war crimes could prove a lot more difficult in the southern city of mary you, paul ariel pitches showed the word children dogged outside the theatre building. that was hit by russian asterix in march and associated press investigation

suggests as many as 600 people may have been killed that as they storm shelter. ukraine says russia knew it was a civilian target. now, mary, you poll is in russian hands and an independent investigation at the site has been impossible. exactly who and how many people died there may never be known. in april satellite images showed apparent mass graves near the city. local officials say up to $9000.00 bodies could be buried the victims of russian aggression. they say now russia is focusing its assault on the loo hunt region. the fear is if more towns and cities fall under russian control, the harder it will become to investigate potential will crimes and hold any one there to account of

a to please. terry schultz is in the hague and has been following this story force . he had the chance to speak with ukraine's prosecutor general irina than addict of a after a press conference to day here at euro, just which is the european union's judicial co operation agency, also attended by the chief prosecutor of the international criminal court and other national prosecutors from countries that are helping ukraine and the prosecutor from ukraine said it is so important for her country for, for the citizens, the people who are suffering those crimes we've just seen in that piece. that she is able to provide accountability that somebody is seen to be paying for these crimes. and we don't know yet how many of those crimes are going to be crimes against humanity. whether they'll ever get to the indictment to any indictments on genocide that she explained why it's important to move forward quickly. let's hear what she had to say. i think not only my main goal is the main goal of all civilized world. of all people who speak about rule of law, about justice,

about international law, that people who are responsible of death is of all the people who is responsible of crime of aggression who just came to they need the state. so just take the land and kill the people that they should be punished. i think it's very important that often substitution in the church now in georgia, in syria. now we have so huge sure, and aggressive and brutal and ukraine. maybe it's time to not only to stop this war, not only to punish people who are responsible but actually to prevent such situation in the future. it runs chief prosecutor terry. i wonder, did you get a sense how this investigation compares to other war crimes trial?

well certainly, and there are multiple investigations at different levels in different jurisdictions, and that was so what was so remarkable about today here at euro, just a press conference with, with multiple prosecutors all working on the same investigation all trying to bring russian president vladimir putin and his henchmen, the people around him who are making these decisions every day to kill ukrainians and, and, and to make them into, to ruin their cities that they are eventually brought to justice. and that's what the prosecutor was talking about, how every day she's going out and gathered, gathering evidence from scenes that continued to be, you know, in the middle of a war zone. and so it will take time and it is difficult. and you know, this will, this will definitely slow down some of the investigation from some of the worst scenes that you saw there in that piece. but they are all determined to do this on various levels at the local level in ukraine, at the international criminal court. in various european capitals,

which have joined this joint investigation. so we're going to see a lot of prosecutions in a lot of different jurisdictions. a lot of different courts just just quickly tear, even with the cooperation, even with that determination. how hard is it going to be to hold alleged? will criminals accountable here to prove war crimes, to prove client atrocity crimes genocide as one of the most difficult. it takes years even decades, as we've seen at the international criminal court. but ukraine has already shown is going to move ahead quickly. there's already been some prosecution, some convictions of people who have been, who have fired on civilians, killed civilians on the ground there in ukraine. so i think it will be step by step up to the highest the highest level of war crimes. but ukraine has already made a lot of progress and is moving very quickly to racial tonight. thank you. the sport and european football authorities have commissioned an independent report

into the delayed champion like final, between liverpool and rayon madrid. who i for says, a comprehensive review will examine the decision making responsibility and the behavior of all parties. french ministers have acknowledged difficulties. managing crowds at the final, but they blame the chaos on fans without tickets. when we joined by running a van is the executive director football support as europe, who was at start the france on saturday. good to see running your organization will now be part of you ifas independent report. currently there is one hell of a blind game going on. had he say this playing up here after the hell of a blind game between the various parties involved. but what is the most worrying at the moment is that the game is being played by the, by the french government and the, and the public authorities, the way they are pinning their own favor only local towns is it is frankly

disgusting and acceptable and is nowhere near the truth, the sole fact of claim that with $30.00 to $40000.00 fig tickets around the stadium, that's that, that so far away from the truth we observe the as part of your far vision program will observe the entrances for 3 hours. we so fake ticket like at any of the final but nothing in the region of $30.00 to $40000.00. yeah, we didn't say much proof of that from a far either. and before we go on we have comments from the french interior minister. stay where you are. i'd like you to take a listen and then when we come back, i'll get your reaction. i would like to sincerely thank law enforcement, the stadium stewards, and the private security agents, who, by their call miss prevented drama. i would also like to thank the decisions that were made to lift the pre screening when the pressure was too strong in order to prevent drama, because the decision evidently prevented death or serious injury. when

my french interior minister brun enough framing authority, says the heroes, what do you think about that from the, from the minister? well, the only here is here. i'll be the nipple supporters who collectively faced and in acceptable hosting condition and reacting with it was a remarkable thomas very taken. but the problem is the mobility plan here that's what created the keels. and it was taken by french fleet by the french public authorities. they were taken to a bottleneck, thousands and thousands of fans taken on a small ram with only 4 corridors to check tickets. and luggage is backpacks, whatever they stayed there for one and a half to 2 hours under the sun with no excess to drink. and what her toilet then remain calm. so if there was no death to start the false,

which by the way to weird indicator because we should all, you know, no one who died or should be afraid to die when they go to the jim. anyway. if there was no death at the stadium, it's not think the work of the public authority it despite of it. because again, if livable sense didn't read the way they where if they didn't remain remarkably calm in the face, so on inaccessible, even we would have had a much different scenario. i wonder if you think i haven't faced their own organizational demons here. what does this say about francis ability to host major sporting events? like, for instance, the 2024 paris lympics. there's something very specific to football. you know, there's, this image is portrayed a football fan of being a threat. and on saturday, livable from i've been, i've been police not on the basis of who they are now. they've been police on the basis of some of them where 40 years ago, this is the level of capacity from the, from the french police to, to, to,

to host this type of event. we are in the, in the, in the country where, where football fan and not able to travel regularly. so the specific from to football all the, all the sports of being police different running. we'll keep following this with you from, for now, from the supporters of europe. thanks so much for your time. thank. the hollywood trial ripping a film. fans is winding up to 6 weeks. the world has lapped up. louis claims and counterclaims between parts of the caribbean. johnny dip, and he's ex wife actress and the hood that is doing her for $50000000.00 for defamation. she's count assuming him for 100000000 jurors deliberating. johnny depp and amber herds law suit and counter law suit have kept millions glue to their screens for weeks. with 30 details, humans fecal matter,
