of the kherson region and asked to restore the retaining structure. after all , all agriculture depends on the stable operation and reclamation system of the north crimean canal. in the south of ukraine, the military with the help of a crane returned hydraulic gates to their place. at this place, the servicemen of the engineering hall are installing chancers that were damaged by the explosion as a result of the bridge we also plan to provide assistance and restore gradually the water level in the canal should rise to the required level of 14 m, while the water is about 1.5 m below the required norm. well, this is the surviving part of the retaining structure. such huge metal shutters. on ropes. they rise or fall down, thereby regulating the water level in the canal, but for 8 years the blocking of the north of the crimean canal. all this has fallen into disrepair and also requires immediate recovery, dnieper water. through this strategic artery, not only the canal feeds a vast territory to the crimea, the skadovsky district of the kherson region almost 100,000 hectares of fertile land, the water was used for irrigation, but now it is gone. this is the sixty-first kilometer of the nor

of transparency about it and the fact that russian m. p 's over the past 24 hours and followed by saying that they want to include all of south in ukraine into a combined federal district with crimea is quite striking and interesting. also the ukrainians have been warning the mold over authorities for a period of time that tourist ball, which is the cath enterprises. julia could be used as an aerial bass for attacks on southern ukraine, odessa, them. aldo was brushed off those warnings in the past, but now, by summoning the russian ambassadors, he says that they're taking a lot more seriously. there been reports of some gains of russian forces have made in the east. of course. can they be health? well, that happens in rewards against a brush in these by the small, small scale. it's all very slow moving. it's all very traditional. and we've seen the fact that russia can make gains, or at least try to make gains and also lose territory. i've seen that happened in marine cow, which happened and enhanced, they concentrated the 1st day of their offensive in their, in plasma and they lost it to the finance. so it's one a question of a making g

forget that heavy fighting is still taking place in many other parts of this country, particularly around the east of ukraine and the southke mariupol, where we know that thousands of civilians are still trapped, while the fighting continues, ukraine needs those weapons and liz truss says she will try and make that happen. puma try and make that happen. anna foster in lviv, _ try and make that happen. anna foster in lviv, thank _ try and make that happen. anna foster in lviv, thank you - try and make that happen. anna foster in lviv, thank you very i try and make that happen. anna foster in lviv, thank you very much. the us presidentjoe biden says president putin is a war criminal and has called for a war crimes trial following the discovery of killings and more mass graves outside kyiv. but how challenging is it to gather proof of war crimes — and what are the chances of prosecutions? here's our special correspondent allan little. as russian forces retreat, the evidence accumulates, of atrocities against civilians. new gear, a man attempting to theses a tank and get out of his car. seconds later, he is shot dead. nearby

used precisely for the purpose of, so to speak, a distraction from odesa from mykolaiv separately er-er russia has not abandoned er-er its desires in order to capture the south of ukrainef, and this is what i see here even by the military actions that there is an accumulation of troops, they are here, they are in the prevailing, right now, they are standing in one of the areas of the kherson mykolayiv region and are digging in and for days, they are ironing with their artillery, in particular, sometimes the aimed and non-aimed simply do not shut up in the entire direction of these they have enough resources now, indeed, a lot. let's say that the main main efforts are all concentrated in the donetsk direction, a lot will depend on the so- called battle for donbas, because russia victory is needed because in another way they are losing face, they need to go to the administrative borders of the donetsk luhansk oblasts, our soldiers are staying there, after that they will try, from my point of view, to connect with transnistria in order to cut off the south of ukraine and legalize to show the legalization of these republics which they made illegal during the 30 years of th

distraction the attention of the ukrainian army and the ukrainian armed forces from those key directions in which combat operations are now wanted, i.e. in the east of ukraine and in the south of ukraine, that is, we can get an additional factor the distraction is just the transnistrian direction , now when we see these explosions in transnistria, there is a risk that they may be repeated in kolbar, formally russia is emphasized because it is difficult to guard and it may require the introduction of an additional contingent to guard these warehouses may require it from moldova can demand it because of the theory of moldova, but it can also try to use the terrasse airport in order to introduce this additional contingent through our territory, if we say to carry out cooperation from crimea, it will not be for a short time, up to 10 minutes in the airspace of ukraine, but there is simply a question whether ukraine will shoot it down, or whether ukraine will have the opportunity to shoot it down, or whether the political leadership will have the will to issue such an order, therefore there is this risk. we have a problem with the destabilization of moldova because we see that o

unfortunately, sometimes they went too far and things which had already happened around kyiv and the south of the ukraineutely terrible and beyond any levels of humanity. it is war crimes, crimes against humanity, and we feel it is genocide because they kill ukrainians just for being ukrainians and the target of this war is to liberalise ukraine, as they say, but putin and his people united ukraine. i have been travelling over the country for the last month and ijust came back from the streets of kyiv, people are united, i don't see fear in the eyes of the ukrainian people. people are collected, —— people have collected millions to support the army and we are not going to step back, is not just words, it's reality.— just words, it's reality. everyone has seen the _ just words, it's reality. everyone has seen the strength _ just words, it's reality. everyone has seen the strength of- just words, it's reality. everyone has seen the strength of the - has seen the strength of the ukrainians and it has been extraordinary to watch that but is there a danger that the west, that europeans, america, because they

it is in small villages like this that much of the wheat exports are grown, but war and destruction are making that almost impossible. in the south of ukrainedessa region has been saved from the heaviest fighting. boris's family has on this farm for 20 years. he is worried about getting supply of seeds and fuel for the current planting season. this could lead to even more mobile fooshortages in the future. >> went all of the depots begin to be bogged in odessa it was a problem with the fuel. it is impossible to ensure stable operation of business without fuel. correspondent: it is here on the black sea that most of ukraine's exports leave for the rest of the world, but right now the russian navy is locating ports all along this coastline, millions of tons of grain are just not leaving, and the question is what will happen to international supply routes should this war continue and if russia can take control of this region? ukraine's supply chains have ground to a halt. food from this warehouse goes to countries like egypt, lebanon, and saudi arabia, which are experiencing price hikes, but traders are scared to bring their precious cargo car

of such aid to the ukraine in editorials. here they've expressed the desire for the south korean government to enact further sanctions against russia and called prudent slaughter in, in some of those editorials and in south korean newspapers. so certainly, there is a lot of support for ukraine in its presidents lensky here. now south korea, we'll have a new president next month. you and secure. he's a conservative who dishes, tougher security talk against young. yeah. do you think his national security approach will mean south korea taking additional measures against russia? yes, i do. so the green president, incoming president, you so you'll wants to have a closer relationship. and a deeper alliance with the united states delegation just returned of president hughes just returned from the u. s. and they're seeking to make it a comprehensive and strategic alliance between south korea and the united states. and certainly that will involve participating in u. s. security measures around the world. also. so the grease foreign minister met with nato and also suggested that so cri would participate more and develop a, a stronger r

hours from the russian side, who say their aim is to really take control, not just of the eastern ukraine, also the south. what is your thoughts on this expansion by russia here? >> well, it just proves that from if very beginning of russia wanted, if not the whole ukraine, then a part of ukraine. and they dreamed about this from russia. sort of road from russia to crimea on the ground. it's been five days since they started this full attack in donbas on the east. and they didn't have any visible success. so, it proves that the russian army can send missiles and rockets and shell civilians in the city. when they go to the ground and when they fight with our troops, they are not, you know, as -- the second-largest and biggest army in the world, they said. actually, our troops proved that russian soldiers are just a bunch of serial killers and rapists. so, to my mind, it is right now, in this few weeks coming, it will be the most important time to see how they end. that's why we're asking the civilized world to end this war. a victory on the battlefield is on the way to stop putin from invading ukraine and

pulling out and what the strategy of putin is, they are now focusing in the east of ukraine, so this corridor, which is going from the crimea to eastern ukraine. this is in the southine, and this is where they are trying to focus in terms of armament, in terms of deploying the personnel, the chechyan troops occupying the cities. theybringing people from different parts of the world because they were in deficit of their personnel. and now they're grouping all of these troops in the south and east of our country. >> brennan: the images you're talking about have been described by leaders around the world as horrific. the mayor of kyiv used the term "genocide." your vice prime minister is asking if this is fascism or genocide, in terms of what have been left around kyiv. do you feel that the world will actually make good on this promise to hold vladimir putin to account for war crimes?[speaing foreign language][speaking through interpreter] everything has to be fair, according to justice, as the civilized world will decide. we believe in justice, in the justice of the western world. and, therefore, the question is not only about the leader of russian federation, we wo

the ukrainian city of lviv and has more now on all the latest developments. there is a real effort to evacuate people from the east and the south of ukraine, while russian forcesir efforts. we heard from the deputy prime minister of ukraine today that there are these ten humanitarian corridors opening up today. one of them there'll be a lot of focus on, which it's hoped will help people escape from mariupol. there have been a few thousand people who have got out from there under their own steam and led by the red cross in the past week, but that's really just a fraction of people who have been trapped there for so many weeks — tens of thousands of people trapped in a humanitarian crisis on the ground. we will have to wait and see if these new humanitarian corridors are successful. we've seen humanitarian corridors agreed in the past and then fall down. we've seen accusations of shelling of those humanitarian corridors, so it's always quite touch and go when it comes to these evacuations, but there is increased concern now, increased urgency to get people out of areas where there is still heavy russian shelling. that attack on the train station yesterday just u
