12:05 pm
upgrade. president vladimir to lansky, visited the town, his face edged with anguish. it's in at the mazda, these are war crimes, the school, and this will be recognized as genocide by the world in order to prosecute war crimes, ukrainian, and international investigators must fashion identify the culprit. never mind arrest them. a painstaking task that may never succeed. who for nadia whose daughter was killed, justice will be served one way or another. her brother don't. she used to be nice and clean woodyard and there was order dishes. every one lived well. good. then these animals came and in one month they turned it into. i don't know what
12:06 pm
may god punish them for the rest of their lives. naples guys are the people of butcher may have begun to recover, but they, nor the world will ever forget anywhere. t w. special correspondent, i abraham was in butcher last month and here in the studio i asked her how people are dealing with the trauma one year on. i mean, it's, it, i really got the impression that the people there were still very much so dealing with the scores of what happened to them under russian occupation. i mean, just to give you an idea of what kind of place butcher was before started. i mean, the before the war started, this is a residential suburb about 30 minute drive outside of kia. it's a place where people moved to start families. you know, young professionals are really kind of lovely place before the war. and you know, it just so happened that geography dictated that it was exactly on the trail of russian soldiers who were invading from belarus on their way to kiev. and that,
12:07 pm
you know, changed the, the town, the suburb completely. i mean, i met a man there who had actually escaped the war in eastern ukraine. the fighting that started there in 2014, moved with his family to butcher and chose it, particularly for that reason for being a place that he could settle. that he could come with his family. and unfortunately, as they were trying to escape russian occupation a couple of days after russian troops arrived there, he lost his entire, his entire family. and when i went to see him there, i mean he, you know, he's, he's, he's still very much living with that memory the home that he had bought for them for his family and boucher untouched. but like a lot of people in butcher who, you know, a lot of the civilians who had this horrible thing happened to them. their hope now is that with the investigations these a legit war crime accusations they can get some justice and they can perhaps see
12:08 pm
yet some kind of justice for what, what happened to them. and that's really the hope that they're holding onto boucher has become a symbol of russian atrocities. in this war we've seen many politicians from abroad also come and tour the and see what was done there. what is being done to help the people rebuild and recover from this unbelievable thing that they had to live through? or we have to also say that, you know, in addition to having to do with these atrocities, you know, what i saw was also a lot of rebuilding in boucher. there's a lot of construction work, a lot of attempts to bring back, you know, life there. i met with the deputy mayor of butcher when i was there and she said, you know, nobody really wants to live in a town known for tragedy. that's that's, that's how she put it. and that's why she said, we need the help. they're getting a lot of help from a charities compared to other compared to other parts of ukraine that have also been destroyed to rebuild these, these houses and to bring back life. and you know what i saw,
12:09 pm
i mean i visited there should have been late february and the town was really sort of on the men and you did feel that life was slowly trying to come back. but as also one volunteer that i met there said, you know, we want to bounce back, but we, we don't want to forget what happened here. and it's important that we find a way to remember this tragedy together and, and for the world to not never forget really what happened in boucher. yeah. you talk about rebuilding, but the war is still raging on. we talk a lot about the eastern front, but there's airstrikes in and around here almost every day. how present is, is that reality that the acute war happening right now in boucher. i mean, that's kind of the, the tricky thing about about being in the capital, right? because the, you know, the air defense systems, you know, the capital key of and it's running, which would include butcher, the air defense system work to a very, very large extent. i mean you have sirens, air retirements pretty much every day, but the likelihood that
12:10 pm
a building gets struck or a civilian entity gets struck is, is quite low compared to what we're seeing in the east or even other parts of the country. but at the same time, it happens sometimes, right? and so it's a reminder that nowhere really is safe. but my impression, you know, having spent a couple of weeks in ukraine is that people there have have found a way to deal with it. and pretty much, you know, they're just going on with their lives and that's just one risk that they have to calculate into it. it only is special correspondent abraham. thank you so much for all of take a look now. some of the other stories making headlines around the world today, dozens of hindu worshipers have died after plunging into a deep well within a temple in the central indian city of indoor. the floor covering the well was said to collapse during celebrations of the hindu festival. a run of army an american journalist has been arrested in russia on spying charges of moscow. court ordered evan garsh coverage of the wall street journal to be held in custody for 2 months.

russia's f as b security agency accuses him of trying to obtain classified information. mister gresh, garbage has pleaded not guilty. sex workers in amsterdam have protested against local authorities plans to close the cities, famous red light district and moving to the suburbs. the measure as part of efforts to reduce crime and improve the cities image. amsterdam has also launched a campaign and a discouraging party tourism in the united states. donald trump's lawyers say they will vigorously fight the charges against their client and the 1st criminal case ever against a former or sitting u. s. president. trump has been indicted by a grand jury in new york, while the exact charges are part of the sealed indictment. it's known they are linked to an alleged hush money payment to an adult film actor before the 2016 presidential election. donald trump is set to become the 1st us president ever
12:12 pm
to face criminal charges. a grand jury tasked by the manhattan district attorney's office spent weeks looking into a $130000.00 payment made to adult film. actor stormy daniels, trump reportedly paid the sum during the 2016 presidential campaign to keep daniel's quiet about his sexual encounter. she alleges they had years earlier, acted like he is above the law. he has considered this is what the trump vehemently denies allegations of wrongdoing. the exec charges he will face have not yet been made. public is too early to speculate what type of sentence truck would get if he were convicted by a new york jury. the judge would likely based it on the evidence that was presented at trial, whether trump testified, whether he perjured himself, donald trump claims he is innocent. he called the indictment a case of quote, political persecution and election interference at the highest level in history.
12:13 pm
his lawyers say they will vigorously fight any charges. the proceedings of bound to shake up the 2024 presidential race. the u. s. constitution does not require a clean criminal record for some one to become president. but it would be extraordinary for someone under indictment or convicted of a felony to become a presidential candidate. prosecutors say they are in contact with trumps lawyers to arrange his surrender. and he is expected to turn himself in early next week. only then will the specific charges be made public. earlier i talked to politics, professor and david done at the university of birmingham and asked him whether the indictment could possibly be politically favorable to donald trump. listen well upon and trump loves to be in the headlines and this guarantees him more time. he will get more support, more financial support. he is. he's again trying to exploit the idea of this being
12:14 pm
a political persecution of him. and he's using that to actually write a lot that base who see him is the only way that they can challenge the established way. things are done in washington for the wider public. i imagine they see this as more of the same as solid and disreputable individual who actually has many things hanging over him and who they want to draw a line under and move forward at the mid term elections as candidates back by trump lost by a margin of about 20 percent compared to those who didn't get trumps endorsement. so the wide republic is tired of trump, but his base was more of him. so the irony of this is that makes it more likely that he will get the nomination for the republican party. but less likely that he will win, but we will see again that the shenanigans of
12:15 pm
a trumpet personality has his approach to politics as opposed to life playing out over the remainder of this administration, and probably up to the next election and 2024. as david dunn of the university of birmingham speaking to us earlier, that is our time already, but there will be more news at the top of the hour. i'll forget in the meantime, there is more news and analysis around the clock on d. w dot com. you can, of course, also follow us on social media. our handle there is at c w news. i'm nicole really in berlin. thank you so much for your company. with guardians of truth. my name is jolanda and i have paid almost every price of being a journalist in a country like to tease.
