they had put him force with it a number of international agencies including the united nations and the international committee for the red cross at the defense ministry spokesperson saying that this was the final chance for ukrainian soldiers to save their lives and to lay down their weapons and surrender. they believe the russians believed that there are about $2500.00 eh, ukrainian soldiers left in and around that plant in mariel. and they say that they are now going to be a continuing to take full control of mary opal as a result of their ongoing military operation. the russians have said that said they took control of the port of mario full earlier last week. and then, and there was a number of surrenders by the ukrainian soldiers a few days ago, over 1400 ukrainian soldiers, according to the russians surrender. and now they are making the final push to take

full control of the city. and the russians have said they have actually cleared as the urban areas of mariel bull. and now this is the final area that's left to be cleared. and now they've given the chance for the prince to surrender. whether or not that will happen is a remains to be seen, but it's a very important moment for this so called special military operation that russia has been carrying out since february 24th this city a if and when it falls to the russians could be the 1st major victory that they would have seen during this a $53.00 day conflict. so far, this city was a city that was home to over 400000 people. and now there's just over a $100000.00 people left to gives you an idea of the amount of people that have left the city since the russian military entered it on march 11th. now, the defense ministry saying that they are looking out for the interest of the

civilians in the area and urging the ukrainian fighters to surrender. but the outcome of that remains to be seen. we have not heard anything specific. what is actually taking place since that sees fire deadline pass. ok, let's cross over to ukraine and speak to her how many doors. so for the time being, thank you so much. so who you are joining us from live even the west of the country heard of ukrainians treating this the passing of this russian deadline? well, certainly we heard from the prime minister saying that they will be no surrender. and that if fighting isn't going something that we could confirm through the telegram channel of the as of regiment. one of those ukrainian forces on the ground there in more you pl ah. they were saying that a m a paramedic had died earlier in the day. now from what we understand, i do a number of ukrainian forces along with a members of this as of regiment ah,

hold up in a, in the as of steel factory, which is a bit south of the city city. it's spreads over twins, then square kilometers. has quite a large area, but they're hold up in there. the russians are surrounding them. it is a very difficult battle, and that's really to the acknowledgment of everyone from president zalinski to his a foreign minister. he did say that the, they both said that the soldiers were blocked or in that area that the wound is, were blocked in the area. and those are the words that actually the president you. and they're also saying that there's a very, very difficult situation for do ukrainian forces. but earlier, also we heard from the a foreign minister saying that somehow more you pull is a red line for president lensky. i think the thinking for the ukrainians at that new bill has become a symbol really in this country that did the onslaught that city has seen

a de suffering. the people of new pal has seen is something really that the ukranian authorities can't turn their backs on, also abandoning it or losing you or you bill would be extremely difficult specially ahead of what is expected to be this all out assault a bit to retake or take over rather did dumbass region by the separate is backed by russian forces. more you pull is the last port on the as of see left for ukraine, bid near by point of bird yanks has been lost already is now under russian occupation. so dis, city is quite important for both sides, for ukraine, obviously carrying that extra as symbolism of really this war that has unfolded for the past 7 weeks. and what happened? i think presidency lensky would come under fire by ukrainians themselves. ave mar,

you put is laws search the message which seems to be getting out at the moment is that the fight will continue until the very end. thank you so much for the hope to have them. hemmings reporting from the vive 20 palestinian worshippers have been injured after being forcibly dispersed from the exxon mos compound. israel said the operation was in response to palestinian setting a barricades to prevent ultra right wing jewish groups from entering. at least 18 people have been arrested. is really police have now left the area. john holman has more from occupied east jerusalem for here at the damascus gate, which is one of the main route you probably see actually behind people travel to get to the most compound. and at the moment, everything is palm within that compound, within the most compound, the scene here with people heading towards it. obviously the disturbances earlier. what has happened is brady government, the palestinian government,
