4:02 pm
authorities say it's one of the largest burial sides found in any city recaptured from the russian army. ukrainian police say most of the people buried there. a civilians, united nations is planning to send monitors to verify the findings a pine forest hiding a horrific mass. grave and ukrainian soldiers have found more than $400.00 bodies buried near the city of israel. after it was freed from russian control wouldn't. here lie the bodies of 17 of their comrades, surrounded by hundreds of individual graves with only crushes to mark them. a typical william, we only found this place because russian soldiers opposed to the video online that the, with the, with the, with either zebra. and with whom i am on the cross that says they're 17 bodies. but i'm that video. well in that there were more lucian,
4:03 pm
that we have not counted them yet. but i think there must be at least 25 or 30 body will say she may be. this is not the only mass grave here that we now have to work and identify everyone who died here. calling earlier this week, president salons give raised the ukrainian flag in the city had 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. so lensky sat, an investigation would follow. the findings in the forest may hold him a, 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, is you see if russia is leaving death behind in everywhere and must be held
4:04 pm
responsible, the world must bring russia to real responsibility for this war. then we will do everything for this little more. said little ukraine age to re claim all its territory after re taking idiom. however, russia still holds around the 5th of the country. that's bringing our corresponded nick connelly, who's in hockey, also in the east. nick, what more can you tell us about how these people died? this is still very, very early on. we're getting reports from zoomed that at least some of the people there are believe to have lost their lives from shilling from the kind of broader fighting that took place earlier in the year. when that says he fell into russian hands as for kind of victims of torture, all kind of targets killing the civilians. we don't have that level of detail yet,
4:05 pm
but there are lots of people here in the ukraine asking out loud why it should be that suddenly the russian army that c o, as we saw in arizona cave earlier in the year, was definitely not preventing their soldiers from shooting at taking pot shots at civilians from abusing their power that they should suddenly have behaved totally differently in his rooms. the different expectations that this is going to get worse and that the air scale of this is going to get bigger until old of dead are found in parts of this region. we've been to, there is lots of talk of people who just disappeared along the wall and some who were taken away by the russians for questioning others who potentially lost their lives when they were trying to get to safety. trying to find some way to ukraine, control turkey through the front lines and potentially died in that process. so there's real expectation in his dread as the territory gets opened up as mine, the kid, as to what people going to find a dread because this could well be more evidence of russian war crimes.
4:06 pm
well, that is the expectation. and definitely, if you look at all the states as to how many civilians lost their lives in this war, most people here expect those to rise significantly before at the, at the all these investigations get to their end. as for a specific war, crimes allegation deserves the very important to do this. right. and to get the facts right to do the dna. and i says that is very difficult because often the families, these people are now spread across most of ukraine. some going to europe, some going to russia, and also, you know, lots of these barrels happened in a real hurry. so all these remains are often very yet basically mixed up together, difficult to kind of singlish what belongs to whom. so as we saw in the north, the country near butcher disperse, it takes weeks and months rather than a couple of days. nick, we're also hearing about attacks on ukrainians, working in key positions with the russians in occupied territories in hassan and lands. what more can you tell us about that? so very dramatic image is coming out of that song of a war looks to be
4:07 pm
a bomb attack on the local russian occupation ministration. similar formula, hans. and if you look at the social media of what kind of pro war bloggers in russia, they are really seeing this as ukraine. upping the ante really trying to put pressure . and to scare people who have gone and taken jobs and russians have taken russian port, passports, even, and as big calls, they're now from the russian side to retaliate, more attacks and civilians. here more attacks may be on ukraine's politicians. that's be something that's been pretty loud and clear from losses at the beginning . that threats to have a go at present lensky at those political decision makers in care. if we even saw yesterday, some attacks on energy infrastructure on the russian side of the border. not far from where i am, he and hat gives a sense that ukraine has car tit for tat, trying show russia that they are not are invulnerable, told us that if they keep on hitting cillian targets here, they are just as likely to end up without power without heating as ukrainians also sense of real confidence from the ukraine leadership here, but also a kind of sense in the air that this could get nasty and more intense the next few
4:08 pm
days as these kind of retribution attack. so continue economy. thank you very much for your 40 german chancellor. old shoulds says he is government is doing everything i can to secure the country's oil supply. shells were speaking in berlin this afternoon after the government said it was placing the germans subsidiary of russian oil giant ross. never under the trusteeship of the industry regulator, it'll control a large refinery in the eastern towners feed, which is to draw a 100 percent of its oil from russia, as well as 2 other refineries. so 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 land. russia, as we know is no longer reliable energy supplier, some of the last few weeks have shown us that. well, the w's chief, political correspondent, belinda crane is at the chancellor holiday. explain a little bit more about the background to this move the choices make well,
4:09 pm
the government decided to take this unusual. i had the chance, i said as much unusual step in order to ensure the continued operation of what is one of germany's main re fire near ease. it's far and away the biggest supplier, for example, to the capital city, berlin, and also to preserve the jobs that this refinery provides in a region of eastern germany. that is seen a lot of very painful structural transformations since the fall of the berlin wall . 33 years ago now when the you decided on a large embargo of russian oil starting in december of this year, the majority shareholder of the refinery, the russian energy company rosin f said that it was not going to talk about other alternative sources of supply for the refinery, that in parn prompted important business partners of the refinery. both i t
4:10 pm
companies, suppliers, insurers to say they could no longer work with the refinery. and that put those 1200 jobs that depend on the refinery, as well as many more that are indirectly dependent on it endanger. so this is why the federal government is stepping in to put a trustee in place who can start expedited negotiations with other suppliers who are not russian. and then beyond that, the government also says it's going to commit up to a 1000000000 euros for the longer term development of infrastructure in the region to make this a hub for clean energy going forward. well, well, just as interesting as that news chops also spoke about plants to beef up the german military. let's have a little listen to what he said. doctrine 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, comes on as
4:11 pm
a country in the middle of a continent. and our army must become a corner stone of conventional defense in europe, from best and owes hunting come. the best equipped military force, just as to see thought as the goal windows on. we should be motivated by the knowledge that our european partners and friends do not proceed. this go us or threatens that you bought as reassurance zones. unbundling belinda monet, germany's been a little reluctant to take on a leadership role in europe militarily. well, militarily yeah, there's still a long way to go in the chancellor admitted as much saying there are major gaps and the buddhist fair is working on multiple fronts to close them. but he also said we can do this, and essentially his speech today at this very important conference of the german military was aimed at saying, germany is now ready to step up and punch at its weight. essentially when it
4:12 pm
comes to defense and, and security issues. and now something a lot of those friends and allies that the chancellor mentioned have been waiting to hear because in fact, germany has a, it's europe's industrial power house. but it has long not played the kind of rural insecurity and defense that would be commensurate with its economic importance. and certainly the chancellor here he was talking the talk. but i think the friends and allies will still be seeing, awaiting, to see the extent to which germany walks that talk. the speaker of the us house of representatives is also in berlin today. i guess energy security will also be on the agenda there in those talks. absolutely, it will. and so will the kind of military cooperation with the united states that the chancellor praised to day in his remarks to the bond is fair conference. he
4:13 pm
said that nato has emerged from this crisis revitalized and that the u. s. role in that and in which ensuring that the allies do coordinate with each other in supplying weapons to ukraine has been absolutely crucial. so we can expect to him, i think certainly to express his gratitude to nancy pelosi, but certainly he will also be talking to her about that support for ukraine going forward. a germany has been under pressure to do more is stepped up to the plate to some degree this week with commitments by the german defense ministers to supply armored vehicles and multiple a missile launchers. but undoubtedly nancy pelosi will have a few things to say about that support going forward. belinda crying, thank you very much for your analysis now to some of the other stories making use from around the world. so russian president vladimir putin has hailed the growing
4:14 pm
influence of what he called you centers of howard. and his summit with asian leaders, including china's teaching ping in, was pakistan on his king to show russia has not been fully isolated by the conflict and ukrainian putin also denounced the use of sanctions by western nations over his invasion was a big fire has broken out in a skyscraper in the central chinese city of chunks shop, the number of casualties is unknown. johnny state media report, the dozens of stories of the building, 200 meter tall, china telecom building, burned with great intensity. argentina's vice president, christina fernandez, has made her 1st public appearance since being attacked in a bunch this as a nation attempt. she thanked god for her survival and her supporters who prevented the gunman from reloading 2 suspects have been charged with attempted murder. 5 year old brazilian and his 23 year old argentinean girlfriend the united states is
4:15 pm
gearing up for mid term elections in november. and the republican party is looking to pin immigration quite literally to the governing democratic party. just days ago, dozens of venezuela migrants were flown from texas to the holiday island of martha's vineyard, in the state of massachusetts, known as a vacation, get away for powerful democrats, like former president, barack obama. the white house has criticized the move as a political stunt. while republican say the issue of migration can't be ignored. ah, martha's vineyard, a tiny island normally known as a wealthy holiday retreat. now the island is suddenly hosting dozens of migrants who arrived unexpectedly at the community services building. no one knew they were coming. and so there has been a massive community effort to provide them with housing and care and any, any legal advice that we can, we can give them around 50 migrants were flown from the southern board of state of
4:16 pm
texas to florida before being sent on to the island many say they were promised jobs and lied to about their destination. neither can i was already. i'm or we didn't know we will come here. we will not obey. ramayo the your. i want you to live in washington, but they didn't work out the way i wanted those and got would be of a reason. what i was of the arrivals in martha's vineyard, or just the latest in an ongoing republican strategy to send migrants to democrat controlled cities, particularly washington, chicago, and new york. these cities have declared themselves sanctuaries, meaning migrants will not be arrested for not having legal immigrant status. florida's republican governor ron de santis, took credit for the flights. our message to them is we are not a sanctuary state and it's better to be able to go to a sanctuary jurisdiction. and yes, we will help facilitate take that transport for you to be able to go to greener
4:17 pm
pastures. but the white house slammed republican governors for using migrants as political pawns. ah, it is a political stunt. that's what we're seeing from government. governor's republican governors and in particular, and am, it is a pool in humane way of treating people who are fleeing communism. just hours after the flight landed at martha's vineyard, texas sent another bus load of migrants to washington. this time they were left in front of the home of vice president, kamala harris. a further sign of the republican governors are intent on escalating the debates on immigration ahead of the mid term elections. as people around the world more the death of britons, queen elizabeth some commonwealth countries are examining their relationship to the monarchy. feelings of mixed, especially in britain's former colonies, like kenya, he w's felix barringer visited the canyon hotel where elizabeth learned she'd
4:18 pm
become queen, not far from the spot where british soldiers later committed atrocities against independence fighters. this is the princess elizabeth became queen. she was a thing in the original treetops are telling kenneth about their national park when she was told her father had died making had the morlock in the reception of that he built hotel, a book of condolence for guests to write their commons. i must dare guar a guide walks there, said his father cooked for elizabeth when she stayed here in 1952 queen was very talkative to their cooks with us and they could arleas coral or deb stuff around were working in ontario and then get to them to get that, give them tip and there was happy when the stuff given money, then they go and help deformities. so do i've been up under the doctor,
4:19 pm
queen very much at the time. can know was still part of the british empire. soon the hotel became the target for mo, independent fighters. they bonded like every british establishment they could find it is, here are the tree tops hotel in mount, kenya that 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 in dallas, and only by the time he says, people across africa have mixed feelings about queen elizabeth. we are lose all. see the queen from presenting the colonial past. and she is the last of the monocle,
4:20 pm
the english monex who had something to do with colonialism. and because she's, was there all the atrocities associated with colonial really. she took responsibility. people do not have hostility towards these up if, as a puzzle goes till it is towards the system she presented. she did not create it. she narrative theater to these canyons. have many different feelings about her. i don't think that death of the queen affects me. boys, i am pretty young and she's pretty estate as she's a british. and um, i'm canyon's, it doesn't matter to me that much. she balanced against all the time was that was going on in the world and but not only her nation into a new century, but also african nations like ours were 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
4:21 pm
british museum. give it back to us. well, some will take the opportunity to write in books of condolence. milliken has filled these and finished business with their former less some of the african i looted by britain during the colonial era is going on display today here and by then, the final section of a new museum is opening to the public. the exhibition includes objects stolen by a british expedition in 1897, and later bought by german collectors, exhibit features explanations of efforts to return some of the items on display. the humble forum is finally opening all it stores. it's taken to decades, it almost 700000000 euros, but the opening of the east wing means the form can now be enjoyed in full. it's also been the source of much debate. something the director general welcomes the homewood form perhaps became a catalyst for many, many discussions. not only in germany, but also bird wide about the future. for example,
4:22 pm
of collections was colonial backgrounds and of course the homewood form was also a reason why we are looking much more carefully into our own colonial past. for example, the best known examples aren't from germany's colonial past. the britons, the benign bronzes, british colonial forces, looted 4000 of the bronsels from the kingdom of benign modern day nigeria, in 1897. after much discussion, germany signed a deal that will see the return of the bronzes. a 168 will remain on loan in berlin for 10 years with just 40 on display, the original bronze. his exhibition was changed to a story of restitution and installation. now features those involved in the process . could this be part of a wider paradigm shift when it comes to stolen artifacts? this symbolic return and sign of these agreements here with
4:23 pm
germany and of course with other countries. ah, it's in us, as, as, as a point as a symbol for also other countries to get. there are 2 fox bug, the workshop exhibiting emissions takes a critical look at objects from tanzania. it looks at the stories behind them where they belong and whether they should be on display amberly at all, against the current links, a u. s. collection by an indigenous omaha acknowledges from the late 18 hundreds with personal stories from today. what you have here. the blogs to us, they don't have anywhere else in this world. there is not a replica of some of these items. nowhere else on this earth. you have the only one is been a palpable shift in public attitudes when it comes to how problematic artifacts are dealt with. now the humble form is fully open. we'll see if it's up to the
4:24 pm
gargantuan task. it's set itself. we'll talk about the controversy in a moment. let's talk about the building itself. my guess is here from our culture desk mark i walk through just recently and you it was reopening. this opening is when for the 1st time, but i didn't realize it had been in the planning for so long. yeah. it's been in the works for, you know, over a decade longer. it's as we can see, maybe from some of these pictures that show some of the construction over the last 10 years. we're adding now opening the east wing the west wing was a pin last year. and it's this mix of stuff to sort of mash up all nice, this old colonial palace at the front end and then at the back end, this more modern progressive housing for these artifacts. but it does raise the question, really, if it's the kind of appropriate building to have these, this, this cross on the top, it is sort of don't,
4:25 pm
this sort of statement of power and imperialism. it was the house of the building of the aristocratic family that was presiding over the questionable acquisition of these artifacts that it's housing and which is causing and has caused all of this control the c. yeah. so there's a controversy about the building itself. so i know a lot of people who complain to pat, just the look about them, what's inside as well. yeah, well as we heard in the report earlier, the pain in bronze is the south african artifacts that were literally stolen. but at last does this, does this move to get them back in an agreement this being made? and that's really fantastic and progressive step forward. i mean, last year, when the west, when i opened, we saw the love boat, which was this incredible naval vessel from pap. when you give me, again, this raised real questions, controversial questions. and they, the authorities of the,
4:26 pm
of the form that re branded it will mr. some moral of the horrors of colonialism a sways those concerns as we heard in the report, the leaders of the for wanting this now to think of the museum as a catalyst change. when i talk to melissa whole roy, who did our report earlier, she said the launch yesterday, the president. there was quite a discussion about that. this isn't a museum. it's a forum. it's a forum for debate. it's a place where these ideas can come together now and we can examine the past, and they're hoping of course, and that's the discussion in the press about whether other museums will follow suit . not least, the british museum, which still holds many of these african bronzes. ok, so just briefly, how much of a cultural contribution can you can you add to culturally heavy but they have well, i think it's significant since the museum, sorry for them opened last year is had one and a half 1000000 visitors. they'll be more of course, and also this sort of wonderful the events of the 24 hour opening that happens over
4:27 pm
