towards the end of a be heard him commenting about these 2nd phase of the special military operation getting underway as of tuesday. he's the 1st official we of heard from in this country who was announced that the 2nd phase is now underway at the foreign minister was also asked about the possible use of any kind of chemical weapons in an this conflict. as well as the possibility of using tactical nuclear weapons on the battlefields in ukraine. and as survey lover of said that the russians air will not be using anything but conventional weapons in the battlefield. and he also said that the decisions will have to be made from the country's defense ministry. and that is where we got a statement from earlier on tuesday, they are russian defense ministry saying that they are going to allow the remaining ukrainian fighters to give up their weapons and surrender until 13 gmc,

there is a about $2500.00 fighters believe to be in that as of sol plans in mary opal, which is a very large facility. and the ukranian government also acknowledged on monday that there are about a 1000 civilians that have sought shelter in the various underground facilities at this plant. the defense ministry saying that they are preparing to send in special forces from the da, nancy peoples republic to storm this facility, and clear out any remaining personnel that could be there. and that is why they've decided to provide this window. it for them to give up their weapons and surrender . and this is, of course, the 2nd time the russians have provided a window of opportunity add to the ukranian forces to surrender in mariel. the last one was a 7 hour window that was provided on friday. and as we understand there wasn't a lot of success during that period and the ukrainians at saying that they will

continue to fight. so the russians now saying that the, this is the last pocket of resistance that they have in mary opal, and they will be clearing out that area of the plants shortly. and this is yet another chance for them to leave peacefully or others, her position. and most of those jibari reporting merlots. i get more now from russell soda, who's in the craving, capital of kia for of key for sir russell winters. herb, what russian sang setting another good line was the story on the ground. well, this was a long anticipated operation. so yesterday, president zalinski said that it appears that russia has started his 2nd phase of the war. and the battle for that don't bus has just started. so over the night, russian forces have targeted hundreds off that at the places in the locations in air, in ukraine now, in hockey shock of his coming under their heavy shillings. and through the last couple of days, we have seen that horrific pictures are coming from the city and increasing at

yesterday to have been civilians who were trained to his cave. the town also came on the challenge and several of them were, were killed. now a cross old frontline of don't boss, we know that the fighting now it's really intensify in indian april. so they were fighting and steal oscars of the negro or been born by d. a russian forces, ukulele also is now another hot support. and i did that, we know that the civilians there, it has been almost a week that they do not have access to water and the electricity. but here, the symbolic place particularly, is, is, is more useful because it has been a symbol of the resistance for ukrainian through since weeks. and just 2 days ago, russia asked ukrainian forces fighting ukrainian forces here to lay down their arms and to surrender. but they have a refuse, and to day, at the ukraine official says that the fight is still continuing, but the russia,

but russia has given an ultimatum to the these troops together in that that, that the steel work, which is a giant one, the largest in europe, covering around 11 square kilometers and $2.00 to $2.00 that russia says that they will guarantee their safety safety if they laid on their arms and through leave over the ukrainian officials here. say they are not going to surrender and doesn't matter what they're going to be. stood dead that the russian or fancied here, as i said, it was a long and speeded operation at just on at march 30th the some forces in the region around to you. they have retreated from his regions and they were directing their forces to the don't. but region to the eastern part of part of the country. and also just ahead of these were felicia, russia has targeted several military factories that are producing the ammunition for the cleaning. automate in key have an in live, you have to leave the, the ukrainian army without the ammunition or wrestling that thanks very much.

indeed, i wrestle said they're in the cave now that the poles have closed in the final round of these timor's presidential election, the regions newest nation has grappled with political instability in recent years. and then to run off kinds of its flame each other. loretta jersey and i must also he received 46 percent of the votes in the 1st run and in march is up against the incumbent. francisco patella's and the next leader will be sworn in on the 20th anniversary of east timor independence, which is coming up in may. let's speak to a reporter, jessica washington, who's standing by 1st from jakarta. just cause he starts around about now does. and that's when we'd like to get indications of which way this is going to get. well, nick, it is still too soon to say we understand that manual counting at some polling stations started a few hours ago. but in terms of the real count, which happens at the electoral office that is set to begin shortly in terms of the

outcome, it is still too soon to say. many analysts say that the challenge of jose ramos horta is likely to secure a victory just based on that strong showing that he put in the 1st round of the bi election. but of course, there are all those who say that it is simply true soon to say that almost course i came very close to securing that 50 percent that he needed to secure the presidency with 46 percent of the votes. in the 1st round of the election, if he had secured 50 percent, we wouldn't be having this conversation because they wouldn't be a 2nd round. but as for the incumbent francisco terrace, it is too soon to say that, you know, he may not even have a chance because with that 1st round, there were more than a dozen contenders. what is really crucial and what analysts will be looking to see is what voters did, those who voted for all the candidates who they decided to choose when it came down to these 2 very well respected revolutionary figures,

who have been fixtures in team will say political scene for decades. what's the likelihood that this this may yet lead to parliamentary elections? well, it's a good question, but at this stage, the question of element totally parliamentary elections remain speculative. there was some concern that there might be early parliamentary elections, but at this stage both of the contenders have said that their priority is to secure stability for team will not stay and to engage in dialogue with opposition parties . so at this stage, the parliamentary elections are still set for mid next year, and neither candidate have committed to change in that regard or just go, thanks very much indeed, we can take this on the further we can speak now to michael leech is a professor of politics and international relations at swinburne university technology joins us live from delhi in east timor. michael leech. so what, what do you make of this is a lot of the young nation isn't

a lot of political writers going on with very much the old god badly. it out with thing congest between 2 people from the 75 generation. when that team project of the independent shortly thereafter was invited by indonesia. there was a 24 year resistance and the 2 presidential figures in this right by the thing is in that 24 year resistance to the crisis. one being the head of the diplomatic resistance. jose ramos horta, who a lot of people around the world and the current president, the income in lieu of the terrorists. it was part of the military time until i'm wondering because the average age of these team or is, is very young, isn't it? it's 20 years old, so what do they make of the fact that they've got these, you know, 6 year old 70 year olds battling it out? well in fact the media, i think i'm directing

a lot of respect for elders in timmery society in traditional society as a little respect for the all to politicians. there's a lot of respect. ready of their resistance, generation and veterans. but people are asking the question, how long can this generation dominate politics and team was they, there was that this might be the last round of elections in 2020 to 2023. where this group from 975 to dominate the elections as they are doing now. and given the way things look at the moment, how do you foresee things pending out? well, i mean, obviously just the room a sort of starts with a big advantage. she did so well as you're noted in the 1st round with 46 percent, he didn't get 50 percent necessary to prevent run off around and the current incumbent luella. good terrorist got 22 percent. now they are both competing in the run around for the bikes. of those 14 eliminated candidates, we've been recommending one of the other countries,

but so we have to wait and say it's too early in the not to make any sensible comments about that. other than that, just a sort of starts with a big advantage on those 1st round numbers. we briefly spent to our reporter about the possibility of a very parliamentary elections. is that something you could see happening? what you will be with my wish to understand it, is that team or is a semi presidential system team lead and government is formed in the parliamentary elections? so these are the presidential elections. they're very important. the position of president is an important one and appointing governments and under circumstances dismissing governments. so dissolving parliament by the prime minister is the more powerful role. and currently that how many election is scheduled? the mid 2023 to the rooms. what is chief backup sonata? was mounting, stay, and i want to say that alimentary election tumblewood to this year and of course in canada, canada is elected president tonight. that would be

a potential stay in that direction. certainly, i hope to see that election currently scheduled for april of 2023. come forward. when that happens, i'm not going to be saint michael. it's great to get your expertise and dispatch on this. do appreciate that. thanks very much. and we'll see what happens. you very well plenty more still ahead on the news are including a digital security watch. dog warns electronic devices of talk, british officials may be under the threat of a supplier software. yours for coming up to steph curry, star golden state. in the player. i'm only action ah, now the, it's really army says it has detained 5 palestinians of part of what they are calling counter terrorism activities. troops, early a close the road between numbers and jeanine at the entrance to the village of boca,

of subtler marches underway along the route towards a former illegal settlement of a mesh. it was evacuated in 2005 as part of israel, so called garza disengagement. climb, have a look at the latest pictures as showing that route that blocked roots of the march of the settlers from the town of berker. as just north of notice in the occupied westbank can speak to a correspondent need to bring my joints down from ramallah. what she events, she joins us, you know, why was right so that neither tell us what the latest is. roger consumer, we got the latest figures from the palestinian red crescent that says that it's staff and medical teens have dealt with 12 injuries. the majority of them are white tear gas because of the current confrontations that are going on between the palestinians. and the is radia. i me. now these radio army has already declared the area i down the illegal

a supplement outpost of omission at close military zone. since december, yet we're still seeing hundreds and hundreds of settlers come into that area, raid this side, with that protection of these really are me. let's remember, this is not so sig, new is been seeing more and more attacks. and raids by israeli settlers against the palestinians were talking about more than 600 or 650000. is the least settlers living in more than $200.00 illegal is really settlement and of course health post scattered across the west bank, which is why many palestinians with tell you that they feel like they're now living in islands out on settlements. these settlements enjoy this a poor are from the israeli government. they have the resources, they take up palestinian resources,

they have infrastructure and they are expanding and expanding at the expense of the palestinians. when we talk about thomas, which is the illegal is really is settlement that was evacuated in 2005 as part of the gauze of disengagement flat according to what israel has called it list . a settlement has been proven by is really courts that it was built on private palestinian lands. yet we are seeing more and more attacks by settlers and they are trying to reclaim the area or try to put their hands on it again for it to become an outpost to liter, be recognized by the israeli government as a sacrament. and this, if it tells you anything, it tells you the story of palestinian lands whereby they have no access to them. is really sometimes go and put up a cut of honor to him than later get recognized by the israeli government and

turned into a settlement. and even when they have the legal documents and a court order stating that this land, it belongs to private, privately to palestinians. they still israeli settlers can go at this with an under the protection of the israeli army. need to tell us more about where this could lead to, you know, what are the risks at this time? it's a very high risk that could potentially blow up the situation. we are ready with missing and it's really escalation when in the form of the continuous res, since the beginning of the year, is it $43.00 simians were killed. the majority of them in confrontation with israeli forces. so it's already verifies jewish and ready and that we're seeing also is really raised in a lot more compound. so all of that has the potential of leading towards more

and more escalation. let's not forget that last year around this time, during the holy month of ramadan, there was a war between the on factions in gaza and israel in response to is really at them to big forcibly a palestinian family from his home and occupied in jerusalem. so this thing or they're like the fact that supplements are there, there's really research there, but there is sometimes a moment where all of these circumstances are joined together, where people feel frustrated and they feel like they need to be mobilized and protests against israeli occupation. and these violations, let's call them, by the way the settlers have a potential of exploding to ation or i need to thanks to that update. i need a ever him reporting. thank you. well, a 17 year old palestinian girl shot by israeli forces during a raid in the occupied west bank has now died. nikoto was injured on saturday. her

mother says she had been on her way to an english class in the city name, and he's 21. people have been killed during israeli operations across the west bank during the past 3 weeks. israel says its actions are in response to palestinian attack. game can last, i left the model. you the not there. we heard from people who were there that it's nice room. one of the buildings was waiting for a car of a wanted man. instead of hitting the car with a bullet, the car turned and the bullet made its way to my daughter. she wasn't intended person, but the bullet moved away and hit my daughter. she suddenly paid attention and said my abdomen her. it was one bullet, but it made 5 holes in her body. it hinted, threw her arm to her chest and abdomen penetrating. the liver in spleen. where there's really me said air strikes have hit comes used by how much in gaza after a rocket was fired from the strip toward southern israel, no casualties to be reported in either attack. the rocket was intercepted by israel's and defense system. masters warned it would retaliate against israeli

actions that the most compound in occupied eastern limit. anyway, i view with utmost severity, the remarks accusing israel of the violence directed against us. and they are those who are encouraging rock toying and the use of violence against the citizens of the state of israel. this is unacceptable to us. this is a lot for the fighters, especially hum us, which are trying to ignite violence and juice. lemme, we will not allow this to happen in the state of israel will continue to provide for and see if got the dignity of all of us to enable everyone to celebrate injury slums. and most of all our forces will continue to provide security for the citizens of the state of israel and jordan's king. abdullah had spoken with egyptian president of the federal cc about the violence of the most compound. since friday. a series of confrontations have taken place between palestinians and israelis. police through slims, old city is considered wholly to muslims, jews and christians, whose holidays have ramadan,

colombo and there will be a rally out there. some us is the level of sort of anger and frustration that have resting from across the country and it, what is it that the government could do to try and ease the situation? well the government, i tried to take some steps, but it's getting short shift from all the protested across the country. we saw a new cabinet being sworn in on monday and the president got up a roger pox a telling the cabinet that this system change that is being demanded, that this is a good time for the, telling his new cabinet that they must all work hard for it honestly and recently, but for the people, i mean, they just feel that it's just the same old thing just drifted around in new clothing, potentially. they said that this entire government and go to average effects of mass full. and that'll be in the dining tray in recent days and weeks. but the

government still insists that there are quick kicks as they do said that, that isa a crippling economic price is that every one must unite. they said they extended the hand to all the opposition parties to join in potentially a coalition government. but there were no takers. so that's what the government is dealing with. but the level of anger and frustration is so high that it's going to take a lot to appease these people. me know, thanks for that. michelle fernandez reporting that. thank you. the white house says it is disappointed with a court ruling that struck down a nationwide mask mandate on public transport. a federal judge in florida ruled the u. s. centers for disease control and prevention had overstepped its authority becomes as new cases are increasing to 100 reports now from chicago. with new cases rising along with covey, confusion mask mandates in the us or more muddle than ever. in

i tell you what i'll do there. remind about top stories and russia has sets. another deadline for ukrainian soldiers in mary pulled to surrender. moscow says the lives of the troops side as steel. what plans will be said if they cease? what's it called? fence this resistance. before 1300 gmc ukraine says it's repelled a number of russian attacks in the country as part of an offensive bi moscow's dump . the back of baton back after the fail to capture keith. polls are closed in each team or in a presidential run office that comes at

a time of political instability and economic crisis alert tuesday of emma took the lead ahead of incumbent francisco tears. in the 1st run, back to our top story and the war and ukraine, the video has surfaced of the russian warship most just before it sank off the coast to be crane. ukraine says its missiles hit the ships, but russia maintained its sank well being towed away after far on board. joe, as his report knew, video appears to show russia's flagship cruiser the 43 year old moskva or moscow. shortly before she sank in the black sea on april, the 14th, but what actually happened to the aged moskva? this image offers clues in clear distress and listing heavily portside. the mosque appears to be burning internally with smoke billowing from portholes. there are signs of hold damage. life rafts are missing. the helicopter doors are opened while

a rescue ship alongside sprays. water jets. ukraine claims it filed land based neptune missiles that struck the cruiser off the coast of odessa. russia says only that there was a fire on board and that she sank in choppy waters while on the tow back to port. yet the waters hear a. com and the moskva is not on the tow. and perhaps most importantly, the fire be broken, not just the head if it's a defense missiles and just behind it's surface itself is miss l. so if at some point after the imagery was taken, either of those systems ignited that would have likely caused a much larger explosion that would have made the ship effectively unsalvageable. so it's undoubtedly a ship in distress and very much consistent with the ship that has been subject to a successful cruise missiles. also uncertain is the fate of the mosque vas crew as

many as 500 strong on saturday, russian defense ministry pictures showed the commander in chief of the navy meeting the ship's crew in the crimean port of sebastopol. only around a 100 men of present. russia has not confirmed any casualties, but there are reports of social media posts by relatives announcing the death of loved ones on board posts that were later deleted. in the opening salvos of russia's invasion, the mosque vase played a major part of it confronted buddha, gods on snake island in ukrainian waters, and ordered them to surrender. the incident and their colorful response became an emblem of ukrainian resistance. the sunken moskva almost 2 months later, is now emblematic of something else, not just one of the most significant losses in recent naval history, but assigned to many as well that ukraine's resistance is working. jona whole al

jazeera, a digital rights group, has warned a u. k. officials that electronic devices connected to the highest levels of government appeared to have been infected with spies, software citizen lab says the spyware is known as pegasus is a product of the israeli cyber alms de la and, and so group at the watchdog has linked the hacking of devices in the u. k. prime minister's office in the foreign office to n s a client in the united arab emirates, jordan and india. none of those countries has commented and you can government says it doesn't comment on security matters. and so denies the allegations. what i mean shapiro is the director of israel published in palestine advocacy at dawn. he says some intelligence agencies need to catch up with software being used by companies like nfl group. it should be said that citizen before has a long track record of credibly proving its obligations would be evidence to find

on the devices and what, what is significant about this in this case, although it really isn't surprising, is the extent to which even european governments are using the spyware against their own civil and again, political targets. we've seen that authoritarian governments are using this fire. ready against political forget. ready stylists monroe defenders, people like to know if the shogi founded on. ready the person but what the government seems to be doing to and not using it to fight crime or it's human trafficking. ready other things that the government, the government and the company saved by. ready we use, i do think that a bit of catch up by some of these intelligent agencies who believe that they have a better system than the private sector and especially in this case within so group . they will also promises made by the group years ago saying that the technology

couldn't be used against us phones or israeli. ready phones are you capable. ready all of that is improving to be bogus in a central african republic, a special criminal called its opening, its 1st trial for atrocities during the civil war. the un bank court was formed 7 years ago and has central african and international judges and prosecutors. their mandate is to investigate and try those accused of genocide, war crimes and crimes against humanity and say are committed since 2003 on tuesday . members of the 3 are rebel group are on trial of the murders of 46 civilians. many, 3 years ago. it was the 1st major violation of a 2900 piece agreement between the government and the rebels. we're going to take this all me to speak 1st of all, to cross one and if i could joint live from an x. so tell us more about why this trial is just so significant. well, it's significant because it's 7 years in the waiting, and it's

a trial that was supposed to take place. i'm saying it's supposed to take place because we've just heard that the opening ceremony or the opening of this trial was just cancelled because the lawyers didn't show up to this trial, apparently boycotting the event. now, judges and the lawyers are meeting behind closed door. this was supposed to be a significant moment. it's 7 years in the waiting. it's a trial that was supposed to take place in the country. that is going through a civil war where the rule of law has for so far, not been respected. and this was supposed to be a model for the justice system in this country. remember, it's a trial over this attack that took place 2 years ago, an attack nick that involve the theft of 4 capitals in the north of the country. and this theft could have been resolved if the state was present there in this province in the north where to place in 2020 instead. because this simple dispute

between a herders wasn't resolved. it resulted in the killing of over sick 46 people, villagers in really brutal condition. so this special tribunal was set up to try those that were involved in crimes against humanity, war crimes and a country going through a civil war. and it was supposed to set an example. there are other members of arm groups or dozens of active on groups in the central african republic. there are other leaders of these armed groups that are being tried away from the central african republic at the international criminal court of the hague. and this was supposed to set an example to show that justice can take place in baggy in this country, but now it appears that that justice is delayed. we're hearing that the judges will continue its procedure on the 25th of april. nick. all right, nick,

thanks for that. nicholas hack reporting there from dr. let's bring in erica pico. now she's an international law director of the central africa project at the international crisis group and join slide from barcelona. okay, 1st of all, just kind of a bit of back story to how does this quarter i believe and see what we can regard as a domestic court relate to the international criminal court investigations for the crime committed in jail. while their official criminal court was supposed to be the main responsible to investigate crimes committed, that seems to cause an entry in the country while the international criminal court is actually acting in a complimentary way. the problem that we have now is that the spatial criminal court making banking is targeting to find the space and find rules. in between the people tried the defendant, the people already arrested by the international
