ah ah ah ah, this is d, w. use live from berlin, ukrainian authorities say they found mass graves outside the city of israel, which was liberated from russian forces. 6 days ago, president philadelphia lensky says russia must be held responsible for leaving behind a trail of death. also on the show, germany's chancellor describe seizing

a key oil refinery as an act of national defense will show that says his government's decision to impose state control over russian owned facility is to protect javanese energy security. he says russia is no longer a dependable partner, and dw visits the hotel in kenya, britain's princess elizabeth learn, she had become queen. we'll hear how people in the former colony field about the monex legacy class tennis, great. roger federer announces his retirement the 20 time brown slam singles when it describes his decision to leave the court as business wait. after so many injuries, the swift staff says his body is trying to tell him something. ah, i am on your campus mckinnon. thanks so much for joining us. a mass grave has been

found outside is the m in eastern ukraine just days after the sissy was liberated. authorities say it's one of the largest burial sites found in any city recaptured from the russian army. ukrainian police say most of the people buried there are civilians. the united nations is planning to send monitors to verify the findings a pine forest hiding a horrific mass. grave and ukrainian soldiers have found the more than before. a 100 bodies buried near the city of israel, after it was freed from russian control over here lie the bodies of 17 of their comrades, surrounded by hundreds of individual graves with only crushes to mark them. typical william, we only found this place because russian soldiers opposed to the video online a lot the for sure with though it's if you those over and with whom i am on the

cross that says there's 17 bodies, but on that video, well, in that there were more good before we show that we have not counted them yet, but i think there must be at least 25 or 30 bodies will say she may be, this is not the only math grade here. and we now have to work and identify everyone who died here calling ah, earlier this week, president salons give raised the ukrainian flag. and as you know, the city have been under russian control for more than 5 months. it now shows scenes of destruction on isabel and people are without running water, electricity, or heat. sa lensky said an investigation would follow the findings in the forest. my whole chima shall we want the world to know what is happening and what the russian occupation has led to watch in butcher mario,

paul. and now, unfortunately, izzie, him or she, if russia is leaving death behind it everywhere, and must be held responsible, the world must bring russia to real responsibility for this war, that we will do everything for this little more. said little ukraine, able to re claim all its territory after retaking izzy m. however, russia still house around the 5th of the country. i correspond to nick conley is in hockey, and he says ukrainian authorities now faced the task of piecing together the circumstances behind those mass graves. or what we've been hearing from the region is that some of these people are believed to have been killed to have lost their lives during artillery during shelling of their town. but the bigger picture is that we don't have any real indication that the russian army seagly change its behavior towards civilians compared to what we saw earlier in the year. the spring

around kira basically had been in butcher. so definitely there is that expectation of lots of gruesome discoveries and new mass graves to come in villages that have been recently liberated from russian forces. we came across people talking about people who've disappeared just basically it have not been seen for weeks and months . people who tried to get to ukraine, controlled territory through the russian lines and who lost their lives and whose bodies not been recovered. so there's definitely a sense that there is a lot more a lot more gruesome and sad discoveries ahead. and i think they put the 2 numbers that is going to take a long time in case a butchered pin. that was question of weeks and months before those dna analysis could be done before all the people, the can relatives, the families, that the friends of the people who lost their lives were found because you're in refugee crisis like we've seen in ukraine. people are spread all across the country in western europe, summer in russia. so before they can really make a kind of full picture of what's gone that it's gonna take weeks. but of see, these are shocking images and ones that are likely to repeat themselves in towns around this region and ukrainian forces pushed russian troops out of is the am

a week ago as part of this lightening counter offensive. and have they been able to maintain that momentum since then? it is still going, it hasn't stopped, but it is going either slower pace. there are a few reasons for that. the russians now have some slightly more advantageous kind of bits of geography helping to protect their new front lines, rivers, and ground that it's easier to defend and oversee. this has been a huge shock to the russian military ships. they have sent reinforcements in, but we are seeing that the loss of these territories has really hit a russia hard in terms of logistics. his ability bringing resources and manpower to the dumbass region was able to fighting. now, i can se from where i am now close to the cities of this, a chance are which if you remember in the summer, was a huge russian victory that was bought at the cost of thousands of russian lives. so since that ukraine is looking to push the russians back from their most recent

or recent wins, it supports rember. here ukraine has in the space of basically a week recovered, more church than russia picked up in more than 5 months. that gives you sense of just how kind of that one imbalance there is here in terms of what russia spent weeks and months achieving only crazed now be able to roll back a conley reporting from. i keith, thanks so much. the german chancellor will have, shall it says, his government is doing everything it can to secure the country's oil supply. shots was speaking in berlin this afternoon, following a decision by his government to take over the german subsidiary of russian oil giant rosin aft. now the move means a federal regulator will control a large refinery in eastern germantown feet was used to draw 100 percent of its oil from russia, as well as 2 other refineries. now shout said the decision was based on security considerations. does this, i know right, this is a far reaching energy policy decision to safeguard our country was long. russia,

as we know, is no longer reliable energy supplier sandwich to the last few weeks of shown us not doubling. his chief, political correspondent, melinda crane, is at the chance. henri and central berlin, melinda, what else did the chancellor have to say about energy security? well, he said that this is an important step, not only to secure short term energy supply, but also the longer term development of the northeastern german region, including jobs. and what's important to know is that this refinery inch rate does supply nearly 90 percent of the oil that comes to berlin. and it also employes 1200 people in the region around straight directly and many more indirectly. and people who work with the company had been growing increasingly concerned after majority shareholder. the russian company ross never had fed following the used decision to

embargo russian oil. that it was not interested in talking about other sources of oil with that many partners that were crucial for the refinery, including insurers. i t companies, suppliers said they could no longer do business with the refinery. and that put those 1200 and many more jobs at stake. so this is why the government has decided to sideline rose nef by putting a trustee in charge of the company. this is not an expropriation, the chancellor made it clear it is a trusteeship. but it is designed to ensure that the region can continue to employ people. this is a region in the east that has seen very painful structural change since the fall of their berlin wall. and the government will be investing up to 1000000000 euros to ensure that this becomes a hub going forward for clean energy for climate neutral energy. now it's

also spoke about plans to beef up the german military's. let's have a quick listen to what he said. deutschland is, but i am through and germany is ready to take on leadership responsibility for the security of our continent. continents. as before, gonzalez, the most populous nation in europe, with the largest economy, is contained as a country in the middle of continents in our army must become a corner stone of conventional defense in europe to um, best and ultimately come to pass equipped military force does, is to see thought as the goal on dawson's on we should be motivated by the knowledge that our european partners and friends do not perceive this go, us are threatened to support as reassurance. so don's understanding linda just a year ago, the idea of a central leadership role for the german military military would have been unimaginable is the bundis that really ready for this? well, it has enormous gaps that it needs to fill. the chancellor acknowledge that and said that the bonus fair has to work extremely hard to step into that role that he

described. but he also told the assembled officers, we can do this and we must, it is our responsibility to our allies. and many allies had heard the chancellor in his historic speech on february 27th when he talked about a turning point and asked themselves, does this mean that germany is finally ready and able to punch at its weight when it comes to it's a security and defense a presence it's weight, of course in the economics is enormous, but it's been essentially a midget when it comes to security. and the chancellor said that he is aware of those concerns. and he said, you know, i know many people have been thinking, well, this new 100000000000 euro fund to supply the bond is fair. is it basically business as usual with a little bit more money? and he said, absolutely not. and then he uttered the statement that you asked that you had there,

milliner, i can just ask you briefly, the speaker of the us house of representatives is in berlin to day. what will be discussed? no doubt energy security. the war in ukraine will be talked about absolutely, chancellor sholtes in his remarks earlier today at the conference of the bonus. fair said that the u. s. role has been absolutely crucial that nato has emerged, revitalized, that the u. s. has done an enormous amount to keep the allies together in their military support for ukraine. so clearly that will be on the agenda, possibly german of welding weapons deliveries to ukraine. the u. s. has pushed in a diplomatic way for germany to do more in germany. did commit to doing somewhat more this week, but it's still not ready to supply the battle tanks. the key of has often called for, but the u. s. has made it clear that it will be up to germany to take that decision

. i think that will just be part of what the to have to talk about. there's a lot on the agenda he to lose melinda crane. thanks so much. or his a look at some of the other developments related to the war and ukraine. russian president vladimir putin has hailed the growing influence of what he called new centers of power at a summit with asian leaders, including china's she's in pain. in was becky's done. he's going to shy russia has not been fully isolated by the conflict in ukraine. vuitton also denounced the use of sanctions by western nations over russia's invasion, was due by france as a said, he believes that his morally right the countries to supply weapons to help ukraine defend itself against russia. the pontiff was commenting to journalists on a plane after returning from a religious conference in kazakhstan. he said the catholic church is just fool polk

principles allow for proportional use of deadly western voice. it even more oddly super of a european commission has announced draft rules aimed at preventing political interference in the media. the rules would require merger deals to prevent political interference. and in short, editorial independence, the proposals come amid worries over media. freedom in several e. u members, such as hungary and poland. they also include measures to protect journalists whose work puts their lives at risk. guffman kajuana gallia, young coots. you peter, add the fleece. they were european journalists from malta, slovakia, and the netherlands murdered for doing their jobs. europe is becoming more dangerous for a journalist to speak truth to power, says belgian and p and media studies. professor cortez egos press freedom is up

most important for our democracy. as we see in russia award doesn't start with weapons. a war starts with propaganda with these information, with a state as controlled to press. and what we see is that it all over europe actually press freedom is at stake. the e media freedom act aims to protect journalists and help them against counter attacks from politicians and corporations. the missing danny ending we need to step those who threatened me. jeffrey jim, media companies cannot be treated as just another business. their independence is essential. europe needs a law like safeguards this independence does these. it will not pinkish kite zisha at asia, africa, the european country still rank high in the international comparison of media. freedom by reporters without borders. but some eastern european countries like hungary and poland, had experienced

a crackdown or independent model in poland. the government is extending control over the independent media regulator and public broadcasters. smaller media outlets find themselves competing against leaving media, bought up by state own oil company, orland, the freedom of the media directly affects democracy, says sig us, an ownership structures play an important role to. but those so important to have a clear overview of the state of media concentration in all the countries and make sure that media regulators are working in an independent way, which is not the case. also also, and it's very important parts of it is to strengthen the public service broadcasters. because we know that from all research that countries with the strong public service broadcaster, they have better democracy. the uses information is

a pooler of democracy and creating a stronger war to keep those who informed the public safe is long overdue. a brussels bureau chief alexander of phenomena caught up with the e u commission, vice president and commissioner values and transparency vera yorba, who unveiled the new media proposals. madame vice president, am media freedom in the european union is a fundamental right. so how can it be that this riot is under threat right now out we saw this trend over several years. we have a good day die year by year comparing the there is a really and i got his friend. political attacks are economic distress. spying journalists, worsening situation for the journalist when it comes to their safety, abusing justice system and journalists. so are you ask about how it is possible?

well, a li, very lying a lot on a member states, a roofs and legislation. and at some all man, we realized wait a minute, this is funny ribbon problem. and if we let the trend continue, if the media will be weakened beyond some line, we will not be able to see democracy protected sufficiently in the commission says that the media freedom act would it hands are media independence and transparency. how is it going to do it? exactly? first of all, we are warning the member stays of the political layer. do not interfere. let that journalists do the job. ah, don't use the spyware. don't push them to disclose dark sources of information. are at the same time where we are alerting. ah, when it comes to public service media,

we believe that the right of people to have objective information and neutral kind of noose ah, that we need to see in all the member states. hi. i la, professional public service media, not state media or party media. no recent interview. you said that hungry, often criticized to for it's handling offer media. was an inspiration for at the bill. what exactly did you mean by that? we had in mind several concrete cases. when i was asked very intensively, what will the commission do? i had do a repeat while we do not have any tool in hand. and he cannot act of and he see something wrong happening in hungary or it it ball land. or we had an issue in slovenia, the solution is that european law, i will honestly try to, ah,

convince everybody that this is a good thing of we will, however, may be difficult legislative process. but thar, everybody has to admit that the media are not protected enough in europe predicts in hungry are already saying that this proposed legislation is a concealed threat to freedom of speech. so is sir the commission protecting their freedom of media by restricting freedom of speech, by restricting opinions that the commission doesn't like. this is a fatal misunderstanding. i don't know if i made a mistake in communication, but ah, by server. so we want by this law to increase the protection of no freedom of speech. that's why i also mentioned the platforms that there should be special treatment for the professional journalists to be able to place that opinions and then use in that digital space. and are i have to repeat that

we are not a relating media themselves. you're regulating the space for the media med and vice president. thank you very much. thank you very much. now as people around the world more and the death of britons, queen elizabeth some commonwealth countries are examining their relationship to the monarchy. feelings of mixed in places, especially in britain's former colonies, like kenya w's, felix marina visited the canyon hotel, where elizabeth learned that she had become queen, which is not far from the spot where british soldiers laser committed atrocities against independence vices. this is where prince, if elizabeth became queen, sure thing in the original true drops are telling kenneth about the unnatural park when she was told her father had died making her the morning in the reception of the rebuilt hotel, a book of condolence for guests to write their commons. i must degraw

a guide who walks there says his father cooked for elizabeth when she stayed here in 1952. queen was very talkative to the cooks with us on big wood o lois court. nor did stuff around were working in auto. and then i get them together to give them a tip and they were very happy when the staff are given the money, then they're going to help with their families. so do i value up under the doctor quinn very much at the time? can there was still part of the british empire, soon the hotel became the target of all mo, in dependent fight us. they bonded like every british establishment they could find it is, here are the tree tops hotel in mount, kenya, that's queen elizabeth the land of her father's death. and that immediately ushered her into her new role as queen. but just a few months down the line in october 1952 when the state of emergency was

introduced. a few kilometers from here, some of the worst atrocities committed on the mo, mo, fight. as we're done by the british soldiers and other quince watch, professor mushroom wannna is a historian at ne robbie's united states intelligent only by the time he says, people across africa have mixed feelings about queen elizabeth. we are loose, will see the queen from presenting the colonial past and she is the last of the monocle, the english monex who had something to do with colonialism. and because she's, or was there all the atrocities associated with colonial really, she took responsibility. people do not have hostility towards these up if, as a puzzle, not till it is towards the system she presented. she did not created she narrative theater to these canyons. have many different feelings about her. i don't think

that death of the queen affects me because i am am, i'm pretty young and she's a british state and she is british. and um, i'm canyon's, it doesn't affect me that much. she balanced against all the time was that was going on in the world and bust, not only her nation into a new century, but also african nations like ours, we're love for the british. you apologize. i feel apology is only a word if you really want to apologize. there are so many stolen artifacts in the british museum. give it back to us. well, some will take the opportunity to write in books of condolence. milliken hills fill days and finished business with their former to less and since 14th now tennis legend, roger cetera, has announced his retirement of 41 year old has undergone 3 knee surgeries in recent years. and he says that he's decided to give his body arrest a decision. the fans around the world will no doubt be very sad about roger
