. this report contains disturbing image tangled metal bloodstains and jarred bodies. scenes from this preserve walk camp in olive nica a sparking outcry across ukraine. it is still unclear what exactly happened. yo ukrainian authorities said russia tagged the prison to wipe out evidence of torture and killing the men hillier were members of the as of regiment and other ukrainian units were captured while defending the port city of marie opal. the attack also left dozens wounded, many remain in critical condition. the ambulances delivered 7 p, o w's service, men of the ukrainian army. all of them had wounds in different places. all the

patients received combined medical treatment. now they're an intensive care woman. russia for it's bought, says ukraine guide out the strike using us applied precision rockets, jordan orchard last night to keep regime purposefully committed another bloody provocation. a pre trial detention facility near the settlement of the nika, where ukrainian prisoners of war, including fighters from the us of regiment are being held, was struck by missiles launched from an american hymer systems. oh, no hammer. green's president wants would lead us to take a tougher line on russia. maya would she? there should be a clear legal recognition of russia as a state sponsor of terrorism. i am especially appealing to the united states of america. a solution is needed and needed. now. russia has proved, with numerous terrorist attacks, that it is the biggest source of terrorism in the world today. so it's a fact he also called on the u. n. and the red cross to investigate the debts.

although it seems unlikely that independent experts will get access to the scene. dw correspondent mathias bill and guy is standing by in odessa mathias, a house of public reacting the public is reacting with outreach. people here are convinced that this was the deliberate killing of these prisoners of war, these prisoners of war. we've just heard it. they were a, partly, at least members of the us off battalion. and there were people who were captured in a, in the siege of my you, paul, and the people here are convinced that this is a revenge that russia is taking on them. the as off battalion has been a very important part of russia's propaganda and has been depicted as, as a cruel enemy by russian media. i'm so people here on our demanding many people we've just heard. officials have demanded that,

but also many people from civil society are demanding an independent investigation by an international in organization into this into this drama. they are demanding access for the red cross, for example. and un organizations to the site and if anything it has of course, i left a very bitter note here and left people very determined to, to get to the bottom of these events. and of course also that people calling for revenge finger pointing from both sides. your again, ukrainian officials accused russian forces of carrying out these killings in order to cover up the mistreatment or torture of those prisoners. what evidence if any, do they pointed? so the ukranian army maintains that no rockets have been fired at all in if guy and no rockets have been fired even close to that region at that particular time. and

her, they are, they have pointed to pictures of this, of the site, saying that this is not the typical damage. a high mass would do, for example, some windows were still unbroken at very close to the explosion which they say points to a local explosion. but not a major rocket rocket strike by these very destructive high mars. and the ukrainian secret service has published a intercepted phone calls for a by fight is of the, of these pro russian regimes. in the, in the don ask area who have seemingly confirmed that this was a local explosion that at that moment there was outgoing fire from grant rockets at that particular place. but no incoming fire. i, i am not sure whether there is any additional additional information presented to the western partners. but the you, for example, has been very quick to adopt this,

a ukrainian i read out of the situation and have condemned russia for this. and there's also been tweet by the russian embassy in london saying that the is off fighters deserve a you mili ating death. that's also something that points to that version t w's only ts bellinger. there are many, many thanks. po francis has said he will be slowing down in the future and isn't ruling out stepping down if his health no longer permits him to carry out his duties. francis himself became leader of the roman catholic church . after his predecessor, pope benedict announced his resignation in 2013, due to declining health. the 85 year old pontiff was speaking to journalists on the return flight from his trip to canada, where he was often seen using a wheelchair. here's what frances had to say. no, so no. okay, well,

i don't think i can continue taking trips mother with the same rhythm as before, is good. ok, i mean, i think at my age and with these limitations they will, i have to pace myself a bill. but in order to be able to serve the church well on friday or i will consider the possibility of stepping aside. farm is up out of thin off. for more insight, i'm joined now by d. w. religious affairs analyst on martin gac barton, could we be seeing a new normal here as popes like the rest of us live longer? i think the resignation of oh, benedict pretty much said the standard to some degree because it's no longer the case that we look at the above us you're, we're actually so you data to look at the policy, you know, whether it's a lifetime appointment. this was the case, but it was not always the case, although it was rare, but nonetheless, it's clear that this vatican has been floating. this idea now for quite

a while. the pope himself has spoken about it. so i think that yes, we should consider that in fact, the shape of the bump is he has shifted new something that has much more of the, of the form of a mother. mother form of leadership within a very large institution, a very old one, but a much more modern one, whether or not he rejoins he's making it very clear that he intends to slow down. so how do you think the rest of his papacy could play out? i think what was very interesting about the statement and you know, it was at lib, so there is a chance that you know, there was, there were small corrections or there are small corrections to be made about the tone. it is quite clear that he's sense is that he can no longer discharge his functions in the way that he used to him. and it means that, you know, in order to do it, you would need to actually have essentially somebody step in is,

this doesn't mean that this would be an immediate thing, but it certainly means that he, himself is now presenting his office in a rather different light than the boat that was extremely engage and constantly on the move. barton what to effect. do you think this announcement will have on the wider catholic church beyond the vatican? i think that the concern will be what kind of go, what kind of died again we would see, should he actually step down and you know, there's been a sort of a civil war theological and political raging since the very beginning of both friends, his arrival and i think that this is bound to become essentially murray complicating blood merkel fantasia. and the one hand we have ultra conservatives, which were actually attack during by both friends as during the interview or during the conversation. and the blame that means he refers to traditionalist, and on the other hand, you have people that has been appointing that are ideologically and theologically

much closer to. so one of the possibilities is that in fact, you will not step down until he has actually fully set up the network of people that could replace this pope with somebody who is close ideologically. and theologically to him. at cdw religious affairs analyst martin gac many, many thanks more your own some other stories now making headlines around the world at the shower, thousands of supporters of iraqi cleric went out to al solder have pulled down concrete barriers, leading to bagdad heavily fortified region. other supporters, storm parliament for the 2nd time in a week now saunters block emerge as the strongest force in last year's election, but failed to gain a majority. all 8 people on board a rescue helicopter had been killed during an operation in georgia. the chopper had been called to assist paraglider, who fell into a ravine,
