a horrific mass grave. and ukraine and soldiers have found more than before. 100 bodies buried near the city of israel, after it was freed from russian control wouldn't over. 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 posted a video on line a lot there for she is there with there was any those ever and with whom i am on the cross that says there's 17 bodies, but i'm that video. well, in that there were more good lucian, 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 we now have to work and identify every one who died here calling ah, earlier this week, president zalinski raised the ukrainian flag in indian banner. the city

had been under russian control for more than 5 months. it now shows scenes of destruction and people are without running water, electricity, or heat. so lensky sat, an investigation would follow the findings in the forest. my horsemanship, we want the world to know what is happening and what the russian occupation has led to watch in butcher mario pole. and now unfortunately, is you see if russia is leaving death behind it everywhere and must be held responsible, the world must bring russia to real responsibility for this war. then we will do everything for this little more. said little ukraine, able to re claim all its territory after we taking him. however,

russia still holds around the 5th of the country. so what signs are there the point to russian war crimes in this is i put that question to amnesty international crisis response director joanne mariner. i mean, certainly the evidence of mass graves are an important indicator of war crimes. but i think, you know, at this point, it's really crucial to carry out expert forensic examination of the bodies and able to a certain with confidence, the crucial facts about how these people died. for example, whether they died of lack of medical care or whether they were deliberately killed . that's the kind of evidence that will allow a possible war, crimes prosecution if, if the elements of the crime are satisfied. how long will it take to determine that sort of thing, considering this is in a was, are there's, there's no set time for this kind of assessment. it really will depend on how quickly the ukranian authorities are able to deploy

a sufficient number of qualified forensic pathologist, hopefully with international assistance to the site and also investigators to interview witnesses. because, you know, i'd emphasize that it's not just the forensic evidence, it's crucial. it's the witness testimony, documentary evidence, there was mention of videos. you need to put all that together in order to establish the elements of the crime. and we know, seeing a pattern of atrocities because this isn't the only math grade that's been covered . i mean, we've seen a pattern of russian war crimes, a different kinds. so we've, we've seen a very clear pattern of indiscriminate attacks by russian forces on ukrainian towns, villages, cities. we've seen them using indiscriminate weapons such as question munitions and other weapons in a really indiscriminate way in boucher, we've seen the beginning of a pattern of deliberate killings of civilians,

another type of war crime. and you know, according to the reports, these initial reports for getting from is in there may be the same pattern in assume as in boucher and you know, all this obviously leads to, demands for justice. it creates even more momentum and more, you know, evidence pushing for justice just briefly. how long will that take or how difficult is that bring these criminals to justice? it really depends on where you're aiming within the military hierarchy. so it's obviously much easier to gain custody over soldiers in the field. and in fact, the ukrainian authorities have taken custody of some soldiers and carried out some more crimes prosecutions. it's much more difficult to gain custody overs senior level officials, senior civilian officials. it's also more difficult to build the case in terms of the proof of chain of command evidence that you need that you know, i'd,

i'd emphasize no matter how slow it can be, just demands for justice or implacable. and you know, the family members of these people who are killed are certainly not going to forget what happened and are not going to stop demanding justice. joanne martin. i misty's crisis response director. thank you so much for the inside on this very important story. thank you. berlin has announced it's taking control of the germans subsidiary of russian oil. john ra, sniffed. the government describes the move as an act of national defense. 3 refineries, including a huge facility in the town of streets. and now under the control of germany's industry, regulated refineries used to draw oil. russia until supplies were disrupted, chancellor olaf showed says the government is doing everything it can to secure the nation's own supply. just as i know like this is a far reaching energy policy. decision to safeguard our country was long. russia, as we know is no longer reliable energy supplier,

some of the last few weeks have shown us not dw street political corresponded. melinda crane is at the chancellor and told us what to make of shelters move. well, 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 eas, 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 e u decided on a large embargo of russian oil starting in december of this year, the majority shareholder of the refinery, the russian energy company, ross never said that it was not going to talk about of other alternative sources of

supply for the refinery. that in turn prompted important business partners of the refinery. both i t 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. dw is chief political correspondent, belinda crane reporting that russian president vladimir putin is in those becca, stand for a regional security summit where he addressed europe's energy crisis. he denies

russia has anything to do with rising gas prices and said that if the european union wanted more gas, it should lift sanctions against the note stream to pipeline and get ukraine and poland to open pipeline also blamed what he called the green agenda for the crisis and insisted that russia would fulfill its energy obligation. you know, then you do it to some other news making headlines around the world. us how speak and nancy pelosi is in berlin for a meeting of the heads of g 7 nations legislatures. she said ukraine must defeat russia and that moscow must be held accountable. lo, seals are announced plans over the weekend to visit our menia, where fresh fighting has broken out with neighboring assa by john. well, in any event, authorities in italy say severe storms have claimed the lives of 10 people. heavy rains brought flooding to the streets of the coastal town. those sandy garcia, local officials say they were caught off guard by what they described as a water bomb that dropped half a year's worth of rain. within a matter of hours,
