the city of mario. but this is 1414 floor, but exactly for this reason, it is so unsafe, it offers a spectacular view of the city. and pakistan is headed for fresh electrons after a vote of no confidence in prime minister. enron khan was rejected as unconstitutional, and its parliament dissolved con, alleges the u. s. is behind the political turmoil ah, broadcasting from our studios in moscow. this is art international. i'm john thomas . certainly glad to have you with us. now russia has called for a un security council meeting on monday, following what the kremlin dismissed as a blatant provocation by ukrainian radicals in the town of butcher. in the key of

region, you came to the defense ministry as well as several media outlets released videos and images showing bodies of civilians lying in the streets and others piled and mass graves. key of insists, this is proof of russian war crimes. russian ministry of defense claimed the evidence appeared only some time after ukrainian troops moved into the town. we would like to emphasize that all russian units completely withdrew from boucher, almost the 30th the day off to the face to face round of negotiations between russia and ukraine in turkey. moreover, on march the 31st, the mayor of butcher until the for the route confirmed and his video message that there was no russian military in the city. but he did not even mention any local residents showed in the streets with their hands tied. therefore, it is not surprising that all the so called evidence of crimes in boucher appears only on day 4 when ukrainian security officers and representatives of ukraine and television arrived in the city. this town, it's located north west of kiev, and it was recaptured by ukrainian military just

a couple days ago actually. and that's why it was a bit strange when kiev accused russia of war crimes. since this footage of the corpses in the street, this terrible footage emerged actually, days after the town had already come under ukrainian control. those videos were apparently released by local officials put on social media. and we are gonna show them on the screen now. but just a warning to our viewers, you may find them a bit disturbing than according to key of almost 300 civilians were found in mass graves there. now the whole situation was so strange that a number of military observers actually said that this all could have been stage to that. it could have been part of a wider ukrainian propaganda campaign at misinformation around what happened. but the vice speaker of re and oversee also commented on this saying that the west in using this video as a sort of pro ukrainian propaganda would be complicit in crimes if it did turn out to be a staged event. after that footage was released though another video came out, apparently showing

a ukrainian officer giving his troops the okay to shoot noncombatants. the little book with so like we've been saying throughout this entire broadcast, a lot of stuff connected to the story is still on verified. we have to keep that in mind. however, a manual micron has said, russian forces are responsible for booty killings and that moscow will have to answer for the crimes. meanwhile, british and us officials have called for an investigation by the international criminal court, and the polish president said, the images emerging from butcher are assigned that ukraine needs more weapons. on the other hand, to the russian ambassador to the u. s. says that ukraine showed the town after the russian military left and that washington is ignoring this journalist, alexander cos, who was embedded with the russian military, shared his thoughts on the situation. pushed to mrs. bridle. i spent almost a month here, the city of neutral,

and so what sort of relations there were between the local people and the russian military. it was not aggressive, it was normal and even did business. there was an exchange of military dr. ration for daily products. there was no aggression or conflict between the russian military and local residence. the people whose bodies they are now shown on ukraine and television were killed not long ago. and i know for sure that the troops left the city and march 30th when march 31st. this was confirmed by the mayor of the city of neutral who didn't mention any bodies lying in the streets. there is a white bandage on the sleeves of many people. this is the identification mark of the russian troops at the local residence, just in case type white bandages to show. i'm one of you don't shoot at me, of course for the cranium military, where nationally offered such a bandage, the symbol of the enemy. former us marine scott ritter believes that the ukrainian government is not interested in a thorough investigation of the butcher killings. we. we've seen the chief

prosecutor of the international criminal court, a talk about his intent to investigate. why isn't he knocking on the door demanding access to these bodies, demanding the absolute necessity to, to do these forensic examinations of the dead to find the data that would point a finger at yahoo? the perpetrator was, why don't the ukrainian government funding and then a thorough investigation nova incident that would put ukrainian government in bad life, what they've already achieved. a propaganda of the entire west is outraged. at the a voucher incident, the entire west appears to be blaming russia, so the ukrainian government does need to do any additional work. meanwhile, the russian investigative committee has opened a criminal investigation into caused by the mayor of ukrainian city of jeopardy for the killing of russians. quote, all over the world and in the largest possible quantities for us, for

a lot of posted the statement on social media after allegations by ukraine that the russian military is responsible for war crimes in the town of butcher. he said ukrainians have the moral right to kill so called non humans all over the world. our guest at scott ritter went on to tell us that the ukrainian government should slam the statement when we talk about war crimes in the prosecution of war crimes. one of the most difficult things to prove is intent because tragically, people die during war and it comes down to what was the intent of the people who fired the artillery shell, fired the guns, et cetera. or was it a legitimate military act, or were they carrying out of wilful harm, the mayor of this ukrainian town up? he's just broadcast his intent. and anybody in the ukrainian government that doesn't shout this down, doesn't come out and say, no, no, no, this is not who we are. this is not what they do. they are guilty by the failure to

act. so while this is horrible, those people who have articulated this kind of hateful rhetoric will be held to account. and in any trial, there will be this, this, this, this message in the messages of others is clear intent on the part of this individual and others. and ukraine carry out. war crimes. heavy fighting continues in marble where the russian military seeks to gain control of a major metallurgical plant in the city which nationalist battalions are using as a base. meanwhile, the russian defense ministry has accused cave of forwarding evacuation attempts from arguable saying one of the roots was targeted with intense shelling. earlier the cities mer accused, russia of blocking humanitarian supplies to marble or cheese would august. they have shed more light on developments in the area. the battle for mary you pull has consume that city day and night fuzz rage across the horizon,

fueled by some of the most brutal urban combat she'd in years. but the end, these in sight, if you can climb high enough, one of the tallest buildings in the city of mario. but this is the 1414 floor, but exactly, for this reason it is so an unsafe it officer, a spectacular view of the city. how unfortunately, it also means everyone can see this used to be a hard point to a position for ukrainian snipers before they were. they were driven back. you've got to stay low. you cod shoe yourself. it's safer, safer here. now that with in the dark they will be able to see us this far into the interior. but again, because heavy sir, because this building is so tall it is also used.

as a luca boast to tank shells yesterday. landed here, destroying this apartment from a tank over there in the as of seal block, which is where ukrainian nationalist are making their last star. that is the territory of the plant itself. and nowadays, where the last of them, although thousands ha, still based just 2 floors below us lives, an elderly woman. she couldn't run and leave her paralyzed husband. he died of natural causes just a few days ago. yes, not know when he passed away, i crate, but it was also a relief. his suffering. his pin was finally over. he was born during the 2nd world

war in 1943, and died during the war. it's so hard. valentino apartment building is a rec, many floors are burned out, others blasted apart and throughout at all, she sat by and tended to her dying husband. watching her home city burn li does his life. i don't want to jinx it, but he korean tubes didn't tell us last night. the hobbies, those tanks for his hurried, we hope that it will and soon there's no telling how soon this will end. but the end is clearly inside, while thousands of civilians still remain trapped in areas controlled by ukrainian . as of nationalists, tens of thousands have fled. that ease, of course, they weren't shot in the attempt. many people have been killed for less. doesn't look good in the middle of the fighting. our men would go out to collect water and they wouldn't let us even do that with luckily we wouldn't give up the ukrainians.

of course, why wouldn't they let you? we don't know if they saw a group of us, they would start shooting. they would just shoot at civilians. yes, people are carrying tags of water, not assault rifles. we needed water for the elderly and the children. and even if you manage to get away from ukrainian snipers, that was still the mine fields to contend with. miles of minds placed the long roads packed with thousands of civilians. it looks just like an ordinary hellmouth out here by a road, merely a kilometer from mario. but then when you, when you look around as an anti tank manouver, then there's dud patches. freshly dug earth all along the road. more minds, some of them camouflaged. some of them thrown about half past drinks. this is what

the ukrainians left bod fields and fields around mario pl. i'm in the city itself. mine had to tie guntee personnel mines as well as, as trip was. we don't know how many civilians have perished on these mines. we likely never will know the number killed by ukrainian snipers as they searched for food and water. but the memory of them and what was done to them, we'll leave on and marry you both for a very long time. they are what they are. that was the answer of ukraine's president when quizzed by fox news about the neo nazi as a battalion and the atrocities it is accused of a soft battalion that is said to be nazi affiliated organization, operating as a militia in your country said to be committing their own atrocities adults was one of those many battalions that they are what they are in the interviews. lensky also

said the, as a battalion is fully integrated into the ukrainian military, that fragment of the interview was later deleted from all fox news online sources. meanwhile, the neo nazi battalion has long been accused of atrocities. most recently the brutal torture and murder of a young woman who lived in variable and warning you may find the following footage disturbing. the most you brought me in for school. here, usually with russia is investigating the alleged murder of the girl in the video and have slammed the west for turning a blind eye to the activities of far right battalions. the paramilitary groups have previously been widely condemned in 2014 amnesty international called for an investigation. the possible war, crimes by the battalions in dumbass. meanwhile, of his roman custody of his, in danielle, where he met residence, who claimed to be witness to as of crimes shippers over the eyes of fighters were

defending themselves. not as if a look at the destruction they left, they had been here for 8. yes, they killed local people to pick it up. oh no, what your one man had his throat cut by one of their members. then he had a daughter. was she a 7 or 8 years old? or they beat people? abducted them with bags on their hands, which got dish. oh well this is what was left by them. hopefully they were running here on the 3rd floor with guns in their hands. duncan, and then there were tanks, shooting thought, we were afraid to go to the toilet is below. i want to comment on the can you turn the cameron showed the ground floor. this is the ground floor horn. this was my flat. the 1st shell hit my roof, my belly managed to stay alive than they used. farmable liquids in the house burned down. they knew people were hiding in the basement, while paul, it is indeed a very, very painful subject for the people of dunbar sits azar battalion ides, our battalion and numerous other names in that interview residents. zalinski is also talking about the fact that some members of the assault battalion actually

received the prison sentences. however, since the aurora russia's special, very minister reparation in ukraine began a most of those people had been released along with the other harden criminal criminals. and they had been remodeling into the ukrainian army. i've been working here for the last 8 years and i've seen a mass graves left by these nationalist battalions as that were retreating from the oncoming donetta peoples a republic militia. remember, a pregnant woman with her arms tied behind her back and she was dug up and her hands were tied behind her back. and it was absolutely a horrible, hard to watch, of course. so over the last a month and a half, the fighting has been taking place in murray will. many of the local residents have also witnessed their shots. these that have been committed by us off. and they told me earlier as well that that's been happening. not just over the last month and

a half, but over the last 8 years as well as they've been the station their pakistan's president has it dissolved parliament after a vote of no confidence in prime minister. iran con was rejected as unconstitutional. protesters have taken to the streets and show support for the prime minister amid fears of a constitutional crisis. in a recent speech to the nation, iran con blame to quote foreign powers for trying to intervene in his country master policy. the prime minister's opponents accuse him of economic mismanagement and bungling foreign policy. local correspondent, i mean do la abuse reports for r t from the parts of study kathy, we are turning in front of the file. amanda smith is on the job. this is one of the 4 major road leading to the parliament building. these are the support of the prime minister, the man who deaths i'm ready to before has using his constitutional authority.

has asked the president of pakistan to dissolve the national assembly because 2 minutes before the speaker, the upper house, god nationally thoroughly declared the nor does martian by the opposition unconstitutional rejected. babies already ward because it was sponsored by a foreign country, me the la r d t v. islam of us. while the prime minister claims the political turmoil is being orchestrated by the west, specifically the u. s. washington rejects the allegations. we gauged opinion on the streets of his mom about about the current situation in the country. younger drivers as i'm and i'm calm when the prime minister in ron khan said, absolutely not in a media interview on the americans got angry and they sponsored our opposition for this. so it was a conspiracy and iran con, defeated them at last. you get your, do you think the leaves will be back and take away what belongs to our children? this is not possible we will not allow. i will never let my children be there. sway

commentator on international security affairs shaheed rather outline for us more on the current political turmoil in buckets done. it's been a complete nurse on for the box on it for the past 2 weeks or more. we've been seeing this drama unfold and finally climaxed because the speaker of the national assembly acting on the article 5 of the box on the constitution which prevents any foreign intervention inside box on eternal matters, coursed the no confidence motion and declared it null and white. the motion was not even accepted for rotting in the box as national assemblies and judging from the trajectory of the current events. it is not hard to predict where the things are going box on is headed for a snap election. the current government is not going to fill this term and they are going to be new elections in barnes on, in the short term. so i think overall the par, tiny state has one from this process and a strong message has been sent to,

to the western countries and to potential l as in box on that box on is willing to look forward to the future. meanwhile, the crippling sanctions pushed against moscow aren't just causing pain in russia or t. e. europe's biggest power grid operator is calling on the public to cut electricity usage, amid the supply issues and below average temperatures. r t e published this warning on their website, calling on clients to reduce electricity consumption on monday morning. the power grid operator also urged individuals to use household appliances at the weekend rather than the start of the week. our t. e warned of a possible this balance between power supply and demand. though power cuts are not expected or to show davinsky has more well, much of northern europe at the moment is experiencing a pretty big cold snap with temperatures follower than you'd expect for the start of april. and as a result of that, put simply that warning that we've had from the grid operator here in france is the

concern that the demand on monday morning could simply outstrip the supply. and if that was the case, it would mean that france would have to import energy from elsewhere, and that could be at a higher cost. now, germany's finance minister has gone a bit further warning that the war in ukraine could actually make german, the citizens poorer. and while there's talk about the government potentially cushioning the finances in the short term. that would only be temporary because he said the resources are simply limited. meanwhile, if we look at the u. k, there is a major cost of living crisis that over energy prices and that has been spilling over into demonstrations across the country. over the weekend, the average household bills for energy, that's an interesting gas, has already gone up to around 2000 pounds a year. and it is expected that that will increase even further up to $2600.00

pounds a year by october. and people are not happy, ah, there is also a major issue. it's grappling with, a lack of food supermarket shelves are emptying, they're putting in rationing at the moment. and that's mainly due to the fact that laurie drive is currently striking over the soaring cost of fuel and not making those deliveries. the government says it's trying to address the issue to choose, hence why right since has been introduced. but all of this course could be about to get worse. we know that the new says it's preparing new sanctions at this particular comes in reaction from those scenes over the weekends. as to what

happened in a book that's been described by the e. u is haunting atrocities, but the reality is, russian gas in russian energy in general, which up until now has been absolutely off the table. because countries like germany rely on it so much. we now hearing from some german ministers that it may be the time to address that. so it could be this week that we find out whether or not russian energy will be part of those sanctions. or that is it for me this our stay with us throughout the day as we have more coverage of the world new crime. this is our chief traditional ah ah ah
