trial, the worst criticise as a pro russia quote for sentencing. 3 foreign fighters to death. russia back to authority, say their mercenary is not prisoners of war. we'll hear from a friend of one of the fighters and also coming up democracy endanger the panel, investigating the attack on the u. s. capital ghost public with its friday. january 6 was the culmination of an attempted coup. lawmaker show previously unseen video of the violence and lay the blame wearily on former us president donald trump and st are against the museum treatments, new york place host, or one of the biggest banks the exhibits ever. with more than $100.00 pieces, the elusive artist gathered under one roof. ah

hello, i'm layla rock, welcome. and a to president of a lot of are zalinski says as many as 200 ukrainian soldiers are being killed every day. russian forces are bombarding ukrainian military positions and civilian areas with artillery. rocket fire and air strikes. but the russian advance is proving slow and costly. moscow's focus remains the eastern dom bass region, which has been partially occupied by pro russian separatists since 2014. i like to turn now to did of you correspondence and nick connelly who is in the city of michael. i have in southern ukraine home to another key port near the strategically important black sea that has been hammered by russian artillery for weeks. and the eastern dumbass region remains the f b center of the fighting right now. but it's far from the only prize that the

russians have their eyes on. that's right, layla, we're here mc alive, which is basically the closest big city to the frontlines here in the southern part of the country. the whole world's been doing that dumbass for weeks, but the fighting continues here just as i speak to you. now i can hear artillery in the distance and we understand that the front lines presently about 20 to 25 kilometers away from the city. and the russians are bringing heavier artillery with a long range of firepower. close that front line. so basically, anywhere in the city is potentially a target, people dying every couple of days. and it's interesting, see how people react. you kind of see them in about their lives sitting in cafes, ignoring most of the re fire and then occasion when it keeps on going for too long . they say slightly start getting bit nervous, looking around, trying to understand how big the risk is for them or to people who have stayed here, have made that choice. knowing the threat, knowing that this is a city that the russians have been trying to get since the start of today,

we're trying to cut ukraine or from the black sea in its entirety. they got hit on which is a city near by just from leaving annex crimea, and they were hoping to take the whole coastline may be moved towards moldova, to basically create land bridge between those russian backs up just moldova and crimea. and don't bass if a sense that you crank currently is a country this fighting on several fronts. and lots of people dying every day across the country. if it doesn't make the headlines abroad and the war and nick is continuing to take a grueling toll, ukraine is saying it's now losing as many as 200 fighters a day. that's almost double the official figure of just a week ago. what exactly changed on the ground? that's right later. well, russia has been changing his tactics since the start since those failures in the north, when they were busy trying to take the whole country in one go with none of troops then surely pulled back from cave and from the north. and they focused on don bassier the south and also had give and now they're basically throwing their hat

have at don bass at a small section. the front line around that city of sort of the network that has been so much the focus of media coverage recently. and i think the real basic problem here is that ukraine has enough people who want to fight, but it doesn't have the kit to give them the weapons to put them in uniform and put them on the front lines where russia is able to out gun ukraine currently, lots of different figures doing the rounds, but present lensky saying that if every artillery piece are every bit of ammunition that ukraine has, russia has not the 10. now ukraine is proving more effective and better using what it has using more wisely, more effectively in a more targeted way. but also that's a very, this is a very unfortunate ukraine, it can proportion of power. and right now, the ukraine's saying that the western countries that tried support ukraine just simply don't get it. they think they're delivering ukraine a lot of weapons. and it might be compared to what a european country gets through in a normal year of doing exercises and piece time. but compared to a water situation where you have fighting basically around the clock or a long 100. lumps frontline,

it just simply isn't enough. and ukraine's too often having to choose too carefully when to return, fire protected people having to basically sacrifice troops to keep back its weapons for the bigger target. so this is very difficult situation. the hope now that those livers will finally accelerate in a few words, a nick having said all that, can ukrainians still turn the tide? i think the belief is here, when you see be with him mc alive here in a city that was attacked like the place i am here with the destroyed government buildings. people going about their everyday life near by. i think they are confident that the army here is able to hold up, that people haven't just run away and that the people in charge have been willing to turn up and take the risk. but there is nothing to fear that of ukraine fatigue in the west was busy. ukraine has used up all its own supplies. weapons of soviet produce, weapons are busy. everything it fires in out front lines comes from america, comes from the u. k. comes from the western countries and without those deliveries they really believe will be in a very big, difficult position. so they're just worried that rising prices and other crises are

going to distract decision makers and only people in the west and stop at that flow of weapons. it is keeping this country going to double correspond and certain economy reporting from the goliath. thank you so much for your continued coverage next. on the sentence imposed on the 3 man raises concerns about what could happen to other foreign fighters. you are captured as many as 20000 are believed to have joined ukraine's foreign legion. many of those who enlisted came from neighboring bella roost did have a correspondent mathias bellinger has more there are no bullets to day, but soon these men will be fighting for their future against the russian army in this south and ost. they are serving in the ukrainian army, but they're all from bellows. the soldier, living with alex, he joined up 8 years ago after that. my dan protests when the conflict in the east

start of my ukraine is around the last 3 countries of the former soviet union. golfing in ukraine had lost its freedom during the my down protest santa, if they had been repressed and there be no future for the whole region. and of course, it will not be ukraine and not for bell arissa in the little roughly, there are now several 100 l r s u fighters in ukraine, enough to former regiment, and he fled their homes in 2020. when fellows dictator, alexander lucas shanker, correct down on huge demonstrations against him. this man who didn't want to be identified by name to part in the protest. no later, usually not worse than wins motion. we were hoping to overthrow shaka the peaceful . mean, i don't, can you probably didn't have a dash question the regime held on we so my now is to

do everything possible to destroy lucretia and co 3. she's in my room question mark tre, moves news to me. the idea is that the bell, russian regime is so closely tied to russia that a defeat for putin would also be a defeat shanker fighters, the war and ukraine is also about the future of their country. and they can't go home until things change. i mean, you took a personal with them at the least lifelong imprisonment would await me the the worst execution law off. and they could pin extremism on me for taking part in the processes in 2020. and on top of that, now that charge me as a mercenary for taking part, i was just why was alex he was injured during the 2nd week of the war, wasn't rec,

mason's mission in butcher when the shell blew away his legs. for now he trains new recruits waiting for a platter prosthetic leg that will enable him to serve close to the front again. within your board. i never thought that i made my sacrifice and that would be it. people make sacrifices every day at the front. that's life. that was there was no it may be a long way to go, but he says retiring from active duty is not an option. but not a nation says the trial of 3 foreign fighters in ukraine by a pro russian court could amount to a war crime. the court in these self declared dennis people's republic sentence to 3 men, 2 british and one moroccan to death. it alleges they were mercenaries, and therefore not prisoners of war. western nations have denounced the trial

calling it a sham and a breach of the rules of war. earlier dw spoke to my was gone, so dot a friend of the moroccan national. but i, he said to him, and we asked him how he learned about what happened to but i, he, well, 1st of all, on april, the 17th i figured out that he's captured by seeing the video of him being interviewed. well, he's surrendered and i read to go over news about like, you know, those british nationals being like they're at risk of being sentenced to death. so then i started doing research and i've found out that my friend by him is also good them. and also he's that, that risk. so 1st of all, i started to, you know, i have, i was an attorney and i was so sad, then i decided that i gotta, i gotta act, i gotta, you know, make actions and help my friend to get out of there. so i started, the safe,

brought him come pain, and yeah, pretty much what i'm doing right now. he's not a mercenary. i have all the copies of his documents, all those contract signing, but they are meant for you cream. so he's not a mercenary. he is, you know, like the, the folder of the ukraine and army and i have all the documents verifying. 1 but and confirming that just signed that contract in november of 2021. and that was melissa gone. so dar speaking to us earlier, he's a friend of the moroccan national sentence to death. and a short while ago i asked rachel denver of human rights watch what she makes of the self declared. the next people's republics claim that the 3 men are not protected by international conventions on prisoners of war. that is a completely false and defiantly, legally nihilistic claim. these men absolutely are protected by the geneva

convention. the geneva conventions say that the people, the people who are detained in come a have to be presumed to be peer w's until proven otherwise. so even if the, this promotion authority, the russian proxies, even if they claim that these men are mercenaries, they would have to prove it in what's called a status determination hearing. and that would have to be a fair and impartial proceeding where they would put out the facts that show that these men were intact, guns for hire, instead of foreign fighters who were legally recruited and integrated into the the cranium military. the geneva conventions absolutely permits, warring parties to recruit and hire and to deploy foreign fighters as long as they integrate into the military. so, you know, are subject to a commend, you know, a chain of command and you know,

where uniforms in obey international humanitarian law. so there was need this kangaroo court didn't bother to hold the status of termination hearing that held a completely unfair, rushed sham hearing. and i think it's important to say that any, even, even if they were mercenary, they're still entitled to justice. the community conventions make it very clear that anybody detained by a war and party is entitled to a fair hearing and failure to provide a fair hearing is a war crime. so this is completely outrageous. it seems in fact that seems that there are a number of facts that point to the fact that these men are, in fact a members of the ukrainian military. and this hearing with a total sham and nihilistic violation of the geneva convention. and that was racial timber of human rights watch. speaking to me moments ago. let's bring up to speed with the other headlines right now. in the news,

the leaders of 9 central and eastern european countries are meeting in the romanian capital, bucharest, nato chief in stockton, burke will join them. they are expected to ask nato formerly to declare russia a threat to the western military alliance. portugal parliament has approved bills allowing euthanasia, and doctor assisted suicide is the 3rd attempt to pass the legislation. the president or the constitutional court could still block the measures. portugal would become the 5th e country to decriminalize euthanasia. the committee investigating the attack on the usaa capital has accused former president donald trump of trying to derail democracy. members have presented their findings after a year of collecting evidence, the chairman says the riots last january was not merely a protest that got out of hand. rather, it was an orchestrated attempt to stop the peaceful transition of power and

overturned joe barnes. victory election. ah, the us capitol, descending into chaos and violence. these images are part of a mess of evidence presented by a house select committee investigating former president donald trump's role in the january 6th riots halted georgia officials urging them to quote, january 6 was the culmination of an attempted cou. a brazen attempt as one right to put it shortly after january 6 to overthrow the government. the balance was no accident. it represent fan, it prompts laughs fan, most desperate chance to haul the transfer of pow to try to prove that trump concise a de violent insurrection. the committee compiled testimony from those who stormed the seat of government in a video presentation. why?

what really made me want to come was the fact that, you know, i had supported jump all that time. i did believe you know that the election was being stolen. and trump asked us to come, he personally asked for us to come to the see that and i thought for everything he's done for us. if it's the only thing he'd go ask me, i'll do it. we're going to walk down to the capital. you could share the committee also heard from a police officer task to with defending the capital that day. i couldn't believe my eyes. there were officers on the ground. ah. you know, they were bleeding. they were throwing up. they were, you know, they had, i mean i saw friends with blood all over their faces. i was slipping in people's blood. 6 more hearings are scheduled. but with so many republicans behind trump,

it might not be enough to alta perceptions of what happened on that january 6th. he said he is washington correspondent to me some misconduct says the committee is clearly condemning the former president, donald trump. absolutely, and i think it's important to note that the novelty of the searing itself lay lovers here saying they've never really seen anything like it. this was on primetime tv. it wasn't like the usual dry congressional hearing. this was really a carefully calibrated a van to tell a story, and that in itself has been an important takeaway. and there was some new information that also came out of this layla. you know that 11 minute video clips that was featured the report you just saw there, that sliced together police body cam footage. we hadn't seen before. some of the audio of the protesters and officers also some video from the capital that we hadn't seen before. and taken together, this was really chilling evidence. we also heard that members of president trump's

inner circle were aware that he had lost the election. that includes his attorney general bill bar and his daughter, vanka, trump. and we also heard that multiple republican congressman asked president trump to pardon them for their rolling, trying to overturn the election results. so as you said, very clear terms, what the committee is trying to do here. what they were setting out in this opening hearing is to show that this was an insurrection fired on by former president trump, who was trying to subvert democracy. do, do we know if enough americans care about these hearings? are they following these hearings? well, i mean, i think there were concerns that now it's been 2 years since that the storm on the capital people wouldn't be interested in these hearings because the countries essentially moved on. and the committee, i think, made it pointed to make the story as compelling as possible with this story telling aspect of this video. and the video is indeed shocking. so people who are paying attention to the hearings, democratic voters, they are likely to be reached by what ways of what they saw. and they will likely

continue to watch these hearings as they move forward. but if you look at the fact that fox news, which conservative many conservative voters and republicans here consume, they counter the coverage by barely showing any of it on their network. so they put it on the fox business channel, and they call this a show trial. so they didn't even really show many of the, the much of the video clip at all. many americans who watch that channel are not getting the same hearing coverage. so it's hard to say whether american a whole is really going to care about these hearings moving forward when you have such a politicize divide in how media is consumed. and so we will these hearings lead to any legal prosecution, accountability that's going to be the interesting aspect here. i think the committee is certainly the democrats, they know that a lot of republicans are not likely to be swayed by these hearings. but by laying out this insurrection, step by step, linking it through messages in evidence to the former president, they are making it clear that there has to be some sort of accountability and layla

that has to go to the department of justice. that is the only agency that can prosecute people with crimes who've been linked to this insurrection. and the agency until now has come under fire for not moving fast enough, not pressing charges of their own, but the department of justice has requested transcripts from the committee hearing . so that could be a sign that they're looking to build on some of this evidence. but a lot is still to come layla, so we'll have to wait and see if there will be accountability. you'll be across it and we will be checking in with you some, some kind of reporting from washington. thank you so much. so me jemma chance all of shall says arrived in belgrade as part of a 2 day tour of the balkans. jonesal schultz will hold talks with serbian president alexander footage on the agenda is normalize. relations between serbia and cosmo. serbia has refused to recognize kosovo since again independence back in 2008. earlier mister schultz met with casa was prime minister alban 40 in christian. both

relations between cost but not many incidents. ready almost a. ready the idea that there will be no war but the office of. ready changed in europe, i believe on just are laying a lot more attention to this region. this is the europe region that can bring prevention and they are trying to. ready make that work again of the problems with in some parts of making the. ready more normal but they would implement this arrangements often and it's a. ready war problem. adrian safari reporting from belgrade. thank you so much. bank thing is one of the world's most celebrated and secretive artists. his works
