war crimes committed during 5 weeks of russian occupation. also on the program. donald trump's lawyers negotiate the terms of his arrest after a grand jury in new york boats to indict him. this is the 1st time it's ever happened to a former us president. ah, i manuscripts mckinnon. thanks so much for joining us. the ukranian president vladimir zalinski says that his country will never forgive those responsible for the horrors inflicted on boot. cholenski visited butcher with several european leaders of the ukrainian town, marked a year from its liberation after weeks under russian control. future has since become synonymous with war crimes allegations against the russian troops who occupied it. so lensky declared that russian evil will fall and not be able to rise

again. now on this day, a year ago, about 30 kilometers from keith, ukrainian troops found a trail of devastation and evidence of possible war crimes. the images of civilian bodies strewn across the infamous jablonsky street in particular, reverberated around the world. still the move to hold those responsible to account is far from finished. a warning that this next report does contain graphic images. some of of you, as might find disturbing. this is boot shows jablonsky street a peaceful, unassuming place. and this is how it looked after the russians fled. one year ago. the bodies of civilians left to wrought on the road surrounded by shopping. that was never delivered. some with the hands boned

removal you can see for yourselves, these are civilian. this one was carrying potatoes and snipers shot them all on the head, out of boredom. wall. how could this happen? how could this happen? to understand how this quiet, residential street turned into hell, you 1st have to meet the people who lived, died, and survived here. currently were man like me kilo roman jak, seen here trying to keep warm in the early days of the rush, an occupation not long after this video, he joined his nieces boyfriend who wanted to check up on his own father. mckayla never came home that you like the family found his body weeks later. you who lives in, we were cycling,

and then the shooting started. we didn't see from where lucky but to see you. then there's all the album off on a welder who loved football. and were all queued all guilty. his wife irina describe how russian soldiers tonda up there now destroyed home, and then ordered allah away. earlier, you know wouldn't. so i thought, where's olay? i went outside and i saw he was lying than willy. they took him around the corner and put him on his knees and shot him in the head a little yoko on you will. i stood next to him, luckily, and then fell to my knees. luasa ledger and the russians were sitting across the street. number, we'll use nosy, neighbor vladimir brought chang co, was returning a borrowed bike when he was killed. a relative says that russian marksman fired their guns with impunity. was a brack, his neighbor wanted to take him away and marry him in the yard like so. his clothes

wouldn't be left lying on the street with a sniper when did the neighbor in the shoulder. the bullet went straight through him and asked and he fled. even in the days after the liberation bodies were discovered in sailors and mass graves to an estimated 10 percent of the remaining population killed in a month long reign of terror, president followed him here to lensky visits at the tone to his face, edged with anguish. and at the mazda, these are war crimes, and this will be recognised 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 but out and there was order vision and everyone lived well. then these animals came and in one month they turned it into i don't know what may god punish them for the rest of their lives. people's ghost of the people of butcher may have begun to recover, but they, nor the world will ever forget when we took chat. now to the w correspondent, max under, who's in butcher for us. max or tell us how ukraine is commemorating the victims of butcher today. spread so this is a very important day for ukraine, and i would also say probably for the rest of the world, because just a year ago it became evident to everyone in what way russia was conducting the war here with complete disregard to civilian and human life. and what they were

actually trying to do in terms of yeah, intimidating the population. so there are few. i'm a few events taking place today in boucher and in the capital key. if we attended a ceremony with the ukraine. he present zalinski this morning who came to boucher to hold his speech but also honor some of the defenders and defenders families as well as civilians from boucher like teachers and doctors. and he was accompanied by other world leaders by leaders from slovakia as lavinia, moldova and croatia were there who spoke as well, and reiterated their support for ukraine in their supports in helping them find the truth, investigate these war crimes and, and bring the war criminals to justice, what people in dick had been telling you, i mean, how are they dealing with their trauma one year on? right. so this is the street you to show on the report actually this is jablonsky

street. i'm standing on a year ago. this would have been covered in, in bodies and in military equipment. doesn't look anything like it now. so the city is changing its appearance and there are, it's, it's, it's being reconstructed a, the superficial damage is disappearing, but one year is not a lot of time. and you also hear that when you talk to people here and everybody know somebody who had no or no somebody who had something happened to him or hundreds of people were killed. there was torture. there was rape happening here. people are traumatized. this is no longer the quite queen town. it used to be back in the day. so trauma runs very deep here it's, it's and it's not a matter of years, but probably generations for boucher for this community to overcome this. so as you've said, people are looking forward and things do look different than a year ago, but the car has become

a symbol for russian atrocities in this war. can you tell us how people are being held? how residents are being helped to build need and lights, and to find justice. right, so in terms of the damages that are being addressed, because nobody really wants to be reminded of what happened here. that's been going quite quickly of their grants. 3rd funds people can apply for if they had their houses destroyed some of them the money from, from, from the european union, from the united states. for example, in terms of a justice for war crimes that have been committed the ukrainians are investigating war crimes. but they've also invited international investigators such as those from the international criminal court to come here and do the investigations. there is quite a lot of evidence of the russians operated as ruthless as they were sloppy and covering their track. so there they can work with eye witness accounts, documentation that has been left behind satellite imagery to build

a picture of what actually really happened here. if that in the long run is gonna bring people behind bars the different question. but just as has a long arm and this is, this is the start to it. he deli correspondent, max and that reporting from the chat. thanks so much back now and last, sheila is the program director the international crimes and accountability with the european center, the constitutional and human rights. his organization has called what happened in blue sat in boot chat, latent violations of international law. i asked him to describe the status of the investigations for us. yeah, it's a bit difficult to him to know where investigations are. i mean, ukrainian authorities are investigating and with the support of international investigators and forensic team says investigations going on, for example, in germany by the german federal prosecutor. i'm looking into survivors and

families from butcher that came to germany. this international criminal court that's been mentioned. so, so there's a lot of investigations going on, but quite understandable. the also certain degrees is no transparency on, on where they are. and if, if there are even some already sealed and arrest warns against those, the commanders may be of the units that were in future and committed all these crimes and presumably in their human rights abuses, alleged war crimes that have been documented. but presumably many more haven't been because they were committed in areas still under russian occupation. yeah, absolutely. i mean, butcher, this is the symbol butcher, this accessible. i'm the crime scenes i accessible to use graves like cesspools. it's a big difference. 2 areas that, that are not accessible for the ukrainian or authorities or the national authority . so i'm let this go suddenly quite quite a number of potential crimes we don't know about. and this is lexis to, to,

at the moment. do ukrainian authorities have enough resources to pursue war crimes are committed on the, on all of its territory. i mean, the numbers are immense. it's a, it's a huge task and it's probably also overburdening and quite understandably, ukraine and local authorities, even if they try all, all they can. so that's why it's important to have a team of, and support with international community also on the ground. in courts also outside the country, basically going hand in hand as much as possible with the ukranian authorities. but from our experience of some of the conflicts, the dimensions are so big and wide, neat, quite some efforts and sub but some international coordination. next, the also to, to get to the truth, to find the perpetrators and also to prosecute them. and presumably it's not made

any easier by the fact that the conflict is actually still ongoing. absolutely everything. new crimes being committed it's, it's a security issue definitely also on the ground. and that makes it all difficult. but on the other hand, there's access to our local authorities collaborating, doing their work. so there's also some, some hope or some, some factors that make, make one hopeful that cases can go ahead. they're sheila, from the european center constitutional and human rights. thanks so much for your time. ok, let's take a look out. some of the other developments related to the war in ukraine. the bell, russian president, alexander lucas, shank po, says that russia may deploy long ranges, strategic nuclear weapons in his country. in addition to short range tactical nuclear warheads, new fishing, who made the comments during his state of the nation address,

in which he also called for an immediate unconditional ceasefire in ukraine. the kremlin rebuffed the proposal shortly afterwards. ob, with the white house, has condemned the arrest of an american journalist in russia on spying charges. and moscow court ordered evan girth, coach of the wall street journal to be held in custody for 2 months. russia's f. s . b, security agency is accusing him of trying to obtain classified information. mister gosh, kevin pleaded not guilty. now the spanish prime minister pedro sanchez has urged his chinese counterpart, gm ping to speak with ukraine's the laudermill zalinski, such as is in beijing. the 1st european leader to meet with z since the chinese president's recent visit to moscow, sanchez reiterated his support for a peace formula proposed by zalinski in november talks are also central focused on economic ties and tourism. all right,

it's bringing journalist javion feature my who joins us now from china's capital beijing f. i be on the spanish prime minister says he encouraged the chinese leader to meet with the ukranian president. how likely is it that she will actually meet with president zalinski? well, i mean it's very important for european stated us to bring up that topic. and sanchez has made it quite clear that spain is supporting a key of position that a piece will only be possible. and when russia actually withdraw its true from ukraine and territory, there is a topic that china so far has not publicly commented on a china us a so called peace plan has not mentioned any withdrawal of russian troops. so it would be very interesting to get to know how seizing ping china stated a has reacted, and sanchez actually has declined to comment on that. and from the chinese site. and there's a lot of in transparency, we only get very wake information. so i'm not expecting actually

a kia m change of stance by a shooting ping. it's long overdue that he would meet with as the lensky and there were a lot of hopes, especially after seating pings visit to moscow that he would do so that at least they would hold the telephone call. but so far this has not happened or will it be more likely? no, or now i don't think so. we'll have to see. but for seating ping definitely. it was a wake up called it also a funder lined the president of the european commission yesterday gave a speech because there was very critical and i think a china is very um, skeptic. when it comes to it listening to the pressure of the whole of europe and with a single countries, i think it will not pay it too much attention to each single country. but unified voice of europe is much more has much more leverage. again, of course, the conflict and ukraine wasn't the only reason the sanchez went to beijing. what are the other aims and fis visit with it and politically the ukraine war was of course, the most important reason. but m as the context a set

r n sanchez was really one of the 1st european leaders who are visited seating, ping, and person after the outbreak of the pandemic. i mean, the diplomatic exchange has really just started and our spain will em soon assumed the presidency of the counsel of the european union. so that is also important for china to know am, but when it comes to coordinating diplomatic issues with europe. and yet, sanchez was also here for economic reasons. yesterday he visited and economic forum and also called for more investment. for example, you mentioned the visit of the you commission, president, wrestler fund a lion which has happening next week along with a french president. and was sanchez laying the groundwork for for next week's meetings where maybe you could say so. i mean, our next week's meeting will actually be much more crucial because after our ponder line speech was, was really, i like almost a paradigm shift on how the european union will deal with a china that has fundamentally changed in the recent years. under seating thing. i

think a lot of international attention will be on how am fonder line will be welcome tier and because really her speech was very critical. so i am sure that are suncrest is to some degree testing the waters and am, or will of course, and report to work towards macro and to fonder line, how are, you know, the diplomatic status quo here is alright, a fatty annexation in beijing. thanks so much. ok, let's take a look at some of the other stories making news around the world. the u. s. is holding joint military drills with the philippines aimed at enhancing manila defense capabilities. the drills come just 2 months after the island nation expanded us access to its military bases. the move has infuriated china, which is it's using the u. s. of stoking regional tensions. britton's king charles is in germany, and today's the last day of his 1st foreign trip as king, his visit has focused on themes of european unity in the face of the war. in

ukraine. charles travelled from berlin to hamburg to commemorates the jewish kinda transport to the u. k, as well as victims of allied bombing campaigns during the 2nd world war. sex workers in amsterdam have protested against local authorities plans to close the cities, famous red light district and move it to the suburbs, the measure as part of efforts to reduce crime and improve the cities image. amsterdam has also launched a campaign aimed at discouraging parssi tourism. now in the u. s. donald trump's lawyers say that they will vigorously fight the charges against their client in the 1st criminal case ever against a former us president. trump has been indicted by a grand jury in new york. and while the exact charges are part of the sealed indictment, it is known that 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 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 daniels quiet about 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 trump 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. 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 someone 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. all right, more on this we can cross over to delta washington. dc bureau chief in his pull ins trumps been indicted. tell us what happens next. well as his lawyers said, anya, that he will surrender. and his expected to do that on tuesday in mr. trump will be

fingerprinted and photographed a process. we probably all know are from the movies, i'm sure. and your millions probably are waiting for these images to see them by the new york law actually doesn't allow them to be published. and it is unlikely that an exception will be made in this case here as so it is also standard for defendants arrested on felony charges to be handcuffed. or it is unclear whether an exception will be made here for former president. but it is almost certain that he will be released after the formalities are over on this tuesday. okay, so those are the next steps that i mean, looking ahead. trump wants to be the next m u. s. president. again, what is this indictment mean for his and presidential campaign? first of all, i know is important or to understand that he still can run for president even if you will be convicted. so those who are hoping that the indictment will really

weaken his political career might actually be proven wrong. mr. trump, by the end of the day, could benefit from wave of a sympathy from across the party. we already saw that yesterday night when the news broke, that many of his supporters actually are already energized by a believe that the justice system has been weaponized against him. so it's more likely you think that it may benefit trump as opposed to let say his republican party rival, run de santis or even the democratic party? absolutely, i mean it definitely will be very difficult for his opponents with in his own party to make use of this indictment, even the governor under centers of florida, his widely viewed as mister drums, toughest presidential primary opponent in his own country,

rushed to condemn the prosecutor right away last night he said, or that florida would not play a role in extra dating him. and that's important because a donald trump is living in florida. and i know you asked about the democrats. they actually don't need a trial to be convinced that donald trump should never be voted into the white house again. so we basically have to wait and see what else comes down. the line as trump is facing numerous lawsuits in it's just just briefly give us the reaction to this indictment that of in the us more generally. well, there's no doubt that this will polarize this divided country. even more in the 1st test might be on tuesday when trump is expected in new york, and the new york police department will be in high alert and will be prepared for possible riots. and we will be there to report that in is pull washington bureau chief. thank you so much then to take you to the central indian

city of indoor now are at least 36. hindi worshipers have died as a temple there was celebrating the hindered festival of rom navarro me when a flew all over a well in the temple collapsed, rescue work has continued their efforts overnight. dozens of worshippers fell into this well in a hindu temple. after the roof above it collapsed, the victims were celebrating the hindu festival of remo vonny at this temple complex in the city of endure when suddenly the floor gave way beneath them. step wells like this are a common feature across india often built hundreds of years ago on medieval would it? it was an old, well built inside a private campus to roof or to step well could not withstand the wage due to the presence of a huge crowd and collapsed dot abuto. and i have direct is that

a prob, be conducted into the incidence? i did not get judge, get this the emergency services and the army have continued their rescue operation overnight. prime minister in a rend remedy expressed condolences and announced compensation for the victims and to relatives is a good reminder of the top story that we're following for you at this hour. ukrainian town has marking one year for liberation from russian troops and the alleged atrocities that occurred on the 5 weeks of russian control. president, a lot of may zalinski says the country can never forgive those who committed the alleged war crimes and don't feel to declare that russian evil will full and not be able to rise again. and that is what we have time coming up
