which i was now best known for war crimes elect allegations against russian invaders. on the anniversary of its freedom, the ukrainian president remains defiant. and as ukraine schism leave the battle for the foundation of the free world is taking place even on ukrainian land. we thought we will definitely win. see within one year ago to day about 30 kilometers from keith, ukrainian troops found devastation and substantial evidence of war crimes. said to have been committed by russian troops. the images of civilian bodies on butcher's jablonsky street went around the world, but efforts to hold responsible. so those are far from complete. this next report contains graphic images. some viewers may find disturbing from the start. this is birch, as 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 bound. what's the new you can see it for yourself. these are civilians written. 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 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 niece, his boyfriend, who wanted to check up on his own father. the killer never came home. not feeling. the family found his body weeks later. you who live in we were cycling, and then the shooting started. we didn't see from where lucky but to see you, then there's all are abram off one a welder who loved football. the middle carol killed wookey his wife irina described how russian soldiers turned up there now destroyed home, and then ordered all that away. earlier, you know, wouldn't. so i thought, where's olay? i went outside and i saw he was lying that willy. they took him around the corner and put him on his knees and shot him in the head a little yoko on you. 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 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 bracket 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 visits at the tone 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. who will group 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 he out and there was order dishes and everyone lived well. good . then these animals came and in one month they turned it into i don't know what it will be. may god punish them for the rest of their lives, peoples, guys to the people of birch, i may have begun to recover, but they, nor the world will ever forget. business did have you corresponding max sundays in future for us to day marks. tell us about ukraine is commemorating

the victims today again, so this is an important day in a meaningful day for ukraine, but i would say probably also for the rest of the world. because a year ago, when the russians withdrew, when it became apparent how the russians were essentially reigning with terror, killing people raping looting. it became apparent what to what extent that the, the war crimes that were happening here. so i'm quite a few events m r b are being carried out here, which would also the capital key if we attended a ceremony this morning with the ukraine president voting lensky. he made an appearance here in boucher and awarded some fighters a defenders and civilians with with meadows. but he was also accompanied by other leaders from other countries such as from slovakia, slovenia, the president of moldova,

was there as well as the leader of croatia. they were here to reiterate their supports and to show a strong simple sign of solidarity. and to to reiterate the promise that they would help investigate these war crimes and essentially bring the perpetrators to justice . there is a press conference taking place in kiva this afternoon. and where he can expect us some more to find out some more information about this corporation that you've been in a boot shop a few times already in the past that what i owe impressions of the the town right now. the town is changing, its certainly not what it used to be. this quaint a suburb of pre war times, but it's also not what it was in 2 weeks and months after the occupation ended here . it slowly coming back to life. i'm still, if you lots of people are not in butch or are still abroad, so the city is kind of waiting for them to, to,

to fill it with life. again. there has been some construction going on. so the bush and seem to be very yet trying to get rid of the visible scars here and but nevertheless, some, this community has experienced incredible amount of trauma that, that runs very deep. and that is not going to be dealt with within a year's time. but probably rather general would take generations to heal from this . now, what are the chance we saw those available crimes prosecutors? what are the chances that those have committed? these alleged bull crimes will finally be brought to justice so the ukrainians are carrying out their own investigations. but they've also asked international investigators such as those from the i c. c, to partaken the investigations here. and there's lots and lots of evidence on the russians were not really properly covering their tracks. so they left behind documentation there. satellite imagery that can be used as lots of eye witness

accounts that can be used. so with, with his image a, with, with this, with all this evidence, a big image can be, can be created. so it would be, it's possible to prove what happened here and to get to the bottom of this. but then again, the question is, will people end up behind bars? that's another question. will people be held responsible and apprehended, arrested? and that's, that's, that's to hope for justice has a long arm and getting to the bottom of his proving all of this is a 1st it to it. cedar responded mcsaunder, they're reporting from the voucher. thank you very much. marks the bill. originally the alexander lucas shanker. has warned the west that russia may deploy at long range nuclear weapons in his country. he made the claim during a television address. moscow has already announced plans to sent short range tactical nuclear warheads to build a roost in

a move that the west has already denounce. stationing longer range weapons there. would mark a major escalation normally, just your your hutch abuse has been a d. w correspondent, jennifer parker, in a riga who was following looper. sankoh speech. now jennifer, the bill origin leader says russian strategic long range nuclear weapons may be deployed in his country along with part of russia's toxic tactical nuclear arsenal . with this announcement actually escalate the conflict. well, it would escalate the conflict if really nuclear weapons would be stationed in belarus, but so far it is just plans. but what it is is a tactic to put pressure on ukraine and on key f with a sparking fear in civilian society as well as soldiers having possible nuclear weapons. so close to the ukrainian border, but pear leader, alexander lucas hang,

who also stated that it is important to have peace talks as well. so it's not just weapons here. it is important to have peace talks and, and he looks at moscow for that as well. no luxuriant goals a quote for a cease fire in his speech. how much of a surprise was that? that was a huge surprise actually because he has never done so before. and what was even more surprising was the fact that he kept returning to the topic of a ceasefire. and a possible peace talks during the 1st part of his address to day. and he stated that bella rues, and he, as the leader of bella rues, tried everything in his mind, quoting, he ran like the dogs between the 2 presidents to initiate peace talks and to cease fire. but he also stated that is important that the west and the east keep out of ukraine and out of russia, so that they can negotiate

a ceasefire by themselves. and the reaction from moscow to lucas anchor speech, their yards a kremlin spokesperson to meet the to scoff. yeah. responded right after the speech to day and said that a ceasefire is not possible at the moment. he of course, blamed ukraine and of fighting that's going on in ukraine for that. actually he stated that as long as ukrainian soldiers fight against russian soldiers in ukraine, the so called special military operation will continue. but he also stated that leader lucas jenko is scheduled to visit moscow next week, and rush us president vladimir putin, and he will talk about a possible ceasefire. jennifer polk of that d. w correspondent from reagan. thank you very much, jennifer. let's have a look now at some of the other stories making headlines. a parole board has

decided not to release south african paralympic champion, ask up his stories. the athlete was given a 13 year jail sentence or murder of his girlfriend river steam camp in 2013. the stories insist he mistook her for an intruder. britons king charles, the 3rd is wrapping up his 3 de state visit to germany. the trip has focused on european unity despite the war and ukraine. charles has been in hamburg to commemorate the kinder transporter that boy brought jewish children to britain during the holocaust. the u. s. has begun joint military drills with the philippines. manila has also given washington greater access to its military bases that has infuriated china, which accuses the u. s. of stocking regional tensions. a grand jury in new york has indicted donald trump. it is the 1st ever criminal case

against a former us president. the charges are linked to alleged harsh money pay payments to an adult film star before the 2016 presidential election. trump's lawyers on negotiating terms of his arrest. 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 truck would get if he

were convicted by a new york jury. the judge would likely, based 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 a 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 trump, 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 of a more this story, less crossover to w. washington

d. c. bureau chief in his full in as it was another trump has been indicted. what happens next? so he had lawyers for mr. trump said that he will surrender and he is expected to be arraigned on tuesday in new york. mr. chung will be fingerprinted and photographed a process we probably all know or from the movies or i'm sure that millions around the world or kind of waiting for these images to see them by the new york law actually doesn't allow them to be published. so it's very unlikely, and they'd be, will see, are these markets and it is a standard for defendants or for arrested over people or to be handcuffed. it is unclear as for now whether an exception will be made for former president donald trump, but it is almost certain that he will be released after the formalities are over on

this next tuesday. so it looks like he's not going straight behind bars. but what does this indictment mean for his presidential campaign? yeah, i know he will not go astride behind bars or that's pretty certain, and it's also important to understand a gearhart that he still can run for president even if he is convicted. so this is the law here in the united states, and those actually, you are hoping that this indictment will weaken his political career actually might be proven wrong. as mr. trump, by the end of the day, could actually benefit from move eve of, of sympathy or from across the party. we have already seen that right away immediately last night or when the news broke, that his supporters are energized by. i believe that the justice system has just been weaponized against donald trump, the routing this,

the trump will be able to spin this case in his favor to appear like a victim of a witch on well, and it will be definitely difficult for his opponents within his own party, even governor on dissenters of florida, he's widely viewed as mister trump's toughest presidential primary primary opponent in his own party, rushed to condemn the prosecutor yesterday night. and that it is important because he is a governor, florida into donald trump is living in florida. so therefore, he, shortly after the news broke, said that florida would not play a role in extradited him if needed. and he also been asked about the democrats, well, they don't really need a trial to be convinced that donald trump should never be voted into the white house again or but after all, we really have to wait and see what else comes down the line. as trump is facing,

numerous lawsuits include including an investigation about his role in the general 6 riot. so however, tumble love being a political matter and we can or we just have to wait and see if he really can capitalize on it. now what's the reaction been a to his indictment in the us? well, many g o p leaders are rallying behind him that we talked about around the centers, but also his vice president. i really kind of stood behind him yesterday mike pens in an interview. i'm, it is interesting that many think throughout the political spectrum that this indictment will polarized this divided country even more. and we shall see on tuesday if it really will lead to what many people fear to riots on the

street. so in new york where trump is expected a, during the day, the new york department is already in high alert and will be prepared for possible riots. is full, there are washington bureau chief reporting. thank you very much. in this and in other news, sex workers and amsterdam half protect 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 the campaign aimed at discouraging party tories. italy has been the artificial intelligence tool chat, g p t. the national data agency says it's concerned about whether the site stores data legally and provides sufficient safeguards for minors, ilan mosque, and other tech experts are already calling for a hold to a i,
