seen here driving around the ukrainian city of mariupol, despite facing an arrest warrant from the international criminal court. we ll have details, plus a look at where things stand to understand the efforts to charge war crimes against him. here in the u.s., the manhattan d.a. is responding to trump calling for protests in the case he s arrested. and the successionist movement inside of america. why a chunk of one state wants to redraw the map and get absorbed by its neighbor. announcer: live from cnn center, this is cnn newsroom with kim brunhuber. we begin with russian president vladimir putin making his first visit to occupied ukraine since the war began. look, this is video of him driving through the city of mariupol, which russia occupied last year. the city suffered heavy damage and fighting and became the symbol of ukraine s resistance to moscow s aggression. the kremlin says putin also stopped in their neighborhood and spoke to residents. they say he was i
most documented crime base or conflict the world has ever seen. there are literally thousands of organizations documenting these crimes. and of course, there s a whole prosecution and judicial operators here documenting these crimes. and of course, we live in the digital age. so everything is photographed, everything appears on video. there s open source experts such as belling kat and so on collecting evidence. it s a really daunting collection of evidence. we re talking about hundreds of thousands of videos, hundreds of thousands of photographs and so on and so forth. so trying to sift through that is going to be the challenge. much of that regrettably will not be that useful in a courtroom. your amateur investigator is can be extremely crucial to an investigation, but much of what they collect can also be collected in a way which is just not admissible in a trial
