of russian occupation. also on the program. donald trump's lawyers negotiate the terms of his arrest after a grand jury and new york votes to indict him is the 1st time this has ever happened to a former us president and dozens of hindu worship is dead off to plunging into a deep wealth within a temple it happened in the midst of the festival of robin a bomb. ah, i am and you keeps mckennan welcome to the program. the ukranian president vladimir zalinski says that his country will never forgive those responsible for the horrors inflicted on boucher zelinski, visited butcher with several european leaders as the ukrainian town marked a year from its liberation after weeks under russian control. who chair has since

become synonymous with war crimes, allegations against the russian troops who occupied it. here's some of what the ukrainian president had to say earlier. and i shall, green schism leave the battle for the foundation of the free world is taking place even on ukrainian land. and we thought we will definitely win. see we now about a year ago about 30 kilometers from keith. ukrainian troops found devastation and evidence of possible war crimes. the images of civilian bodies on the infamous. yeah, blood sca street in particular made waves around the world. still the move to hold those responsible to account is far from finished. a warning that this next report contains graphic images the some viewers might find disturbing. well, 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. mm hm. and you can see it for yourself. these are civilian. this one was carrying potentials and snipers shocked 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 men like me kilo roman jak seen here trying to keep warm in the early days of the rush in occupation. not long after this video,

he joined his nieces boyfriend who wanted to check up on his own father. mckayla never came home last you live in the family found his body weeks later. you live, we were cycling, and then the shooting started. we didn't see from where lucky policy get. then there's all the album off once a welder who loved football, and we will kill kill, kill 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. lou, yoko on you will. i stood next to him, luckily, and then fell to my knees lewis, eliza and the russians were sitting across the street. number we'll use those with

the neighbor vladimir abrupt jenko 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. where 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, yet to lensky, visited the town to his face, edged with anguish. what more are these are war crimes 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 for nadia whose daughter was killed. justice will be served one way or another. so blah, don't she used to be nice and clean woodyard and there was order dishes. every one lived well good than these animals came and in one month they turned into i don't know what may god punish them for the rest of their lives. people's guys, but the people of birch may have begun to recover, but they, nor the world will ever forget when he w correspondent, max sunday is in butcher. and he told us how ukraine is commemorating the victims

of warfare and occupation. right, so this is a very we're 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 you training 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 severe from boucher like teachers and doctors. and he was accompanied by other world leaders by leaders from slovakia, slovenia, 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 his war crimes and, and bring the war criminals to justice what a people in ditch had been telling you. i mean, how are they dealing with their trauma one year on? right. so this is the st. you to show on the report. actually this is your boscus

tree. 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 quaint 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 different than a year ago,

but, but it 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 new ad lights and to find just as 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 grands toward 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. 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 doesn't correspond and max and the reporting from the chat. thanks so much max andreas. sheila is the program director for international crimes and accountability with the european incentive constitutional and human rights. his organization has called what happened in boot check, blatant violations of international law. i asked him to describe the status of their investigations for us. yeah, it's a bit difficult to him to know where investigations are. i mean, ukrainian authorities are investigating with the support of international investigators and forensic team says sir investigations going on, for example, in germany by the german federal prosecutor. i'm looking into survivors and

families from butcher's. it came to germany, this international criminal court that's been mentioned. so, so there's a lot of investigations going on, but quite understandably, also certain degrees is no transparency on, on where they are. and if, if there are even some already sealed and arrest warrants 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. it's 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 authorities or the national authority. so i'm logistical 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, some numbers are immense. it's, it's a huge task, and it's probably also overburdening and quite understandably, ukraine and local authorities even if they try on 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 why do you need quite some efforts and some spread, some international coordination, etc. 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 sense of constitutional and human rights. thanks so much for your time. at the bell, a russian president, alexander lucas shanker, has warned the west that russia may deploy long range nuclear weapons in his country. he made the claim during his state as the nation address. moscow has already announced plans to deploy short range tactical nuclear warheads and bella russ decision. the west have denounced the deployment of longer range strategic

weapons in belarus. wood mart, major escalation. nutrition also used his address to call for an immediate unconditional see fire in ukraine smallest. bring and dw correspondent jennifer tiger, who was following lucas anchors speech from rica. hi jennifer. the bell russian president says russians strategic, longer range, nuclear weapons may be deployed in his country. now that's an announcement that would surely be a significant escalation of the conflict. yes, it will be an escalation off the conflict if it really happens, because so far he just announced plans. and we're not even sure if this will really work. but what is it really is, is a tactic to put pressure on ukraine and on key f and also sparked fears in ukrainian soldiers and the civil society because ukrainian or borders are borders to beller ruse. and having nuclear weapons station,

so close to ukraine is quite dangerous and fair and will spark fear. but he also stated that or a quote that ukraine stands on fighting against russia till the last ukrainian is stupid. because ukraine will never be able to win against an atomic superpower like russia. but it's also quite important to note that lam alexander lucas shinkel stated that he himself act putin to deploy these weapons. not for the fact were in ukraine, but to be able to protect bella rues from western threads and influences ok. so submit mixed messages. it may be because we've got this threatening speech. and yet, lucas shanker, called also in his speech for a ceasefire, which he hasn't done before. so how much, how much of a surprise was it to hear him say that? well, it was a huge surprise because as you said,

he never said anything in that regard. but what was even more surprising was that he gets a, going back to the topic of peace talks, anesthesia fire. throughout the 1st half of his speech, he stated that bella roost and he, himself, quote, ran like a dog between the 2 presidents to help and negotiate peace talks as well as a ceasefire. but he also stated that it's important that this sci fi will only take place if western and eastern influences will not be put into ukraine and russia. awesome. okay. now moscow reacted very quickly to looks shinkel words. it immediately rejected the idea of a ceasefire. and to exactly a kremlin spokesperson to me, they passed scoff right away, rejected the possibility of a cease fire right now in this moment. and of course, he blamed ukraine and the continued fighting off ukrainian soldiers against russian

soldiers. for that, he stated, as long as ukrainian soldiers will fight russians. the so called special military operation will continue. but he also stated that vladimir putin and alexander will cash and go we'll discuss the topic of a possible cease fire and peace talks in luke. i shan't coast scheduled visit to moscow next week. jennifer, thanks so much for that. let's jennifer pica d w. corresponded in riga. are i? let's take a look at some of the other stories making news around the world. italy has been the artificial intelligence tool chat, g p t. the national data agency that it was concerned about was a chat g b, t stools, data legally, and provides sufficient safeguards for minors using the tool. ilan mosque, another tech giants, a calling for a hold to a i software development until its safety can be assessed. the u. s. is holding a 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 accuses the u. s. of stoking regional tensions. britton's king charles is in germany, and today is 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 commemorate the kinda transports that brought jewish children to the u. k. during the holocaust and the south african paralympic champion, oscar pastorius may be about to learn whether a parole board will release him from prison early. the athlete was given a 13 year jail sentence for the 2013 murder of his girlfriend. re the steen.

cameron for historian insists that he mistook her for an intruder and and the u. s. donald trump has been indicted by a grand jury in new york quality. 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. trump lawyers say they will vigorously fight the charges against the client in the 1st criminal case ever against a former u. s. president. 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

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 trump would get if he were convicted by a new york jury. the judge would likely based that 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 some one to become president. but it would be extraordinary for some one 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 spoke with the deli washington bureau chief in his porch and she told us what to expect now that trump has been indicted. 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 or from the movies. i'm sure i know millions probably are waiting for this 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. and 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 jump wants to be the next a u. s. president. again, what is this indictment mean for his and presidential campaign? first of all, and as 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 be 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 he is a republican party rival, rhonda santas 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 that florida would not play a role in astrid aiding him. and that's important because 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 now to the central indian city of indoor where at least $36.00 hindu worship as have died at a temple and was celebrating the hindu festival of rum navarro mi on a floor over a well inside the temple collapsed, rescue workers continued their efforts and the night 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 remnant vanny. 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. already on medieval, already 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 data bureau. i have direct is that a prob, be conducted into the incident? lucky dodge, get little this. the emergency services and p army have continued their rescue operation overnight. prime minister and remedy expressed condolences and announced compensation for the victims and their relatives is
