a small town in eastern ukraine is burying victims of the independence day. attacked by russian forces. at least 25 people, including 2 children, were killed by rocket strikes. and chap, lena, our correspondent young fellow sholtes travelled there for the funeral. of one of the children. motley would have had his 1st day of school next week in peaceful times. the 6 year old boy will not live to see this day anymore. the whole neighbourhood came to say good bye. oh, some a door for him. he was the most precious thing in my life. no, it's so so incredibly sad. for my daughter, there's nothing left. she doesn't even have a home any more. might be, was a quiet boy. his grandmother says his home was directly across the street from the towns train station. the family was just getting ready for dinner. when russian rocket started to strike the neighbourhood much,

he was playing in the living room when the shelling started. and then he ran over to the kitchen where some other family members were. and that's when the rocketed and killed the little boy. immediately. russia claimed responsibility for the attack, the military said it wanted to destroy a train that was supposedly carrying ukrainian soldiers, and they apparently considered the death of mattie and many others as acceptable collateral damage for their operation. it's the worst tragedy that has ever happened in the small town of trip. lina, them may, i tell, says, but it brought the community to get what you, that the parents of the dead children have gone through an incredible amount of stress. we know it's very hard for them to go on with life, but least we try everything possible to support them with the form of things again . besides matt, the, an 11 year old boy from the same neighbourhood died in the take. the war has already cost the lives of more than $1000.00 children. and the 2 boys from south

lena, probably won't be the last. ukraine's energy operators warning is a risk of radioactive leaks. this apparition, nuclear power station. the agency says repeated russian shelling has damaged the plan. moscow in turn has accused ukraine of bombarding the facility which it took over and march. the power station was temporarily knocked off the grid this week causing regional blackouts. the u. s. nuclear watchdog is hoping to send in inspectors next week. moscow and keep accusing each other of shelling around the power plant. i asked our correspond mathias bidding her in keith. how we should believe we don't have evidence for any of the versions. we can march for sure. say what happened there. the only thing we can say is that shelling has happened there . now whom should we believe it's a good question because we have to her size that to communicate very differently.

we have russia that has a track record of misinformation. the systematic lies and misinformation ukraine doesn't have that track record, but we can also assume that there might not disclose ever saying so. we shouldn't believe anything at face value that either of the side se, but we should of course, take this information with the background to that i've just mentioned. and just to get to the people in the region and how their lives are affected. imagine that a nuclear catastrophe taking place. authorities are already distributing iodine tablets to residence near to plant, which i guess helps deal with radioactive, an infection. how dangerous is the situation really? unfortunately, we have to assume it's very dangerous. again, we lack reliable information, but what we're hearing from the plan through channels here in ukraine, that means that people who work there or who are at on site communicate with the

authorities here on the ukrainian side. what we get from the ukranian energy authority points to very chaotic situations at this plant, or we know that a lot of russian or military equipment is stationed there, that russia has used this plan as a shield to fire from there on ukrainian positions. and that's of course, a very dangerous situation. um, we would need somebody to go there and to check what the situation is on the ground . somebody from, for example, the international energy authority, atomic energy authority, emission that has been planned that would give us more clarity on how dangerous the situation really is. for now, we have to assume it's critical was tedious, mathias bellinger, and keith boarding for us. let's take

a look now at some of the other stories making use around the world. pope frances has named 20 new cardinals at saint peter's basilica in rome. most are under the age of 80, making them eligible to vote for his successor. francis has down pointed nearly 2 thirds of the cardinal's young enough to choose a new pontiff. thousands of anti racism demonstrators have commemorated riots in the northern german city of rostock. in 1992 crowds cheered as neo nazis attacked a center housing asylum seekers and a hostile for vietnamese workers. campaigners criticize the authorities responses to weak serbia and kosovo have settled a dispute over the movement of citizens across their border. id holders from both sides will be able to travel freely between the 2 west balkan states. european union foreign policy chief years at burrell announced the deal in a tweak. at least 13 people have been killed as rival groups exchanged

gunfire in the libyan capital, tripoli. tensions between 2 organizations vying for control of libya have been really rising. for months. there are fears they could escalate into an all out nationwide conflict. now to mexico and a notorious human rights scandal. $43.00 students disappeared in the southern city of a koala and 2014. according to official accounts. they were abducted by corrupt police and handed over to a gang to be murdered. now a government official alleges that 6 of them were kept alive for days. a local army commander then ordered their deaths. these protesters had been demanding on, says about their missing relatives for years and of a long pushed back against the official story. the government investigation at the time concluded that the students were abducted by corrupt police and turned over to a drug gang that killed them at this rubbish dump before burning the bodies and

throwing the remains in a nearby river. independent experts have repeatedly debunked this account. last week, a government truth commission confirmed some of their worst suspicions saying the army was aware, but in da thing to stop what happened to these men. now the commission's head has made an even more serious allegation that the army itself held and killed, at least some of them. i mean, to pursue mc allegedly, the sick students were alive for as many as 4 days after the events, and were taken and killed on orders of the colonel, allegedly, the van colonel, jose rodriguez perez o sylvia's fitness. for many, the revelation is a bombshell being made on which at that he says that it makes me very sad, angry and helpless that so many years have passed and they've given us so little information. and what little information there was where lies galleria was that unmet theda. but after so much time,

the truth may finally be coming closer. last week, the former attorney general, who led the much criticized 1st investigation, was arrested. he faces charges that he committed abuses, including torture during his investigation. dozens more. arrest warrants were also issued for soldiers. police and officials suspected of involvement in the case. more than half a century after the apollo moon landings hopes of carrying humans back there again are still some way off. much of the necessary hardware is still on the drawing board. but the united states is hoping to take another giant lead next week by launching its next generation mega rocket. this museum is a shrine to u. s. space travel. and these men are part of its history. they were among the engineers who helped fly the 1st people to the moon. more than 50 years ago. their memories are still fresh,

their pride is still palpable. great. i don't know what else you can say. i was able to participate in every launch the moon manager made with the saturn 5. 0 did they agree or special began with cause i resolved by ahead of us. and so we had a problem. it was up to us, saw that now americans want to return to the moon as part of what's dubbed the art in this mission. a specially designed rocket and capsule are scheduled to take off from cape canaveral on monday. it'll be an unmanned flight astronauts won't be joining until 2025 for now. they're training in houston for the historic mission, which will see the 1st woman and 1st person of color travel to the moon. oh, no matter who we put in that seat right now. some of us had launched into earth

orbit, but that's it. none of us have actually lit engine and burned away from earth beyond 400 kilometers or so. to then go to the moon, that'll be far than a human being has gone to very long time. and i don't care how, how many simulations you've done that moment. it's going to be a thing. a returned to the moon is only part of the u. s. ambition, together with europeans and other partners, nasa wants to build a space station that orbits the moon. the project would allow space crews to travel to the moon and back more easily. but for now, the focus is on cape canaveral and getting the orient crew capsule to the moon and back safely. better and engineers will be watching. i try pitch you what they'll be doing in a fine room. green, it's a whole new fine room, but i can think back to polynesians and more recently shuttle days and i can, i can, i had distress. i know what that's like. so i'm just thinking back what they're

going through. the entire agency is feeling the pressure the artemus program is several years behind schedule and billions over budget. nass is counting on this test flight to be successful. and that's all the news for now. the next world stories find out what independence day means to ukrainian soldiers down the trenches unexpired. thanks for watching. these places in europe are smashing the wreckers step into a bold adventure. it's the treasure map for modern globetrotters. discover some of you up to record breaking sites on google mac.
