they should. so taking into account that it was an air strike and not a simple artillery shalayna. when the explosion happened, the temperature was extreme. certainly our emergency workers would be clearing the debris with maximum speed, but there is only a very slim chance that any one survived. but we hope for the past. since the warranty crane started, russian forces have targeted hospitals, apartment blocks and other civilian buildings. the world health organization is gathering evidence for a possible war crimes investigation. w. joel has not verified. $200.00 attacks on health care in ukraine since the rule begun. this attacks must stop. health care is never a target, not break. look, my o. e cranes president says his country is fighting against a new form of naziism. what flow to me is lensky was mocking victory in europe day . it celebrated on the 8th of may. the date in 1945,

when nazi germany surrendered to his visit to me to be so do was the way, decades after world war 2, darkness returned to ukraine and became black and white again. again, evils returned again in a different uniform, under different slogans. but for the same purpose, a bloody reconstruction of naziism was organized in ukraine. a fanatical repetition of this regime ah, at the besieged steel, planting, merry pole, ukraine's government says all civilians have been rescued. civilians and soldiers had been trapped inside the as if stole steel. mill for nearly 2 months, his russian attacks intensified and with the civilians now reportedly gone. it's the last holdout ukrainian fight is in the city. it's still unclear of president putin will be able to declare victory, mary paul, in time for may. the 9th, the day russia celebrates the soviet union's won't, will to victory over the nazis. but there is no doubt this anniversary won't mark

the end of a conflict where both sides now invoke the battles of the 1940s victoria gate and be al jazeera. as i bring in algiers here as i sat bagels in denise pro are sad, so the last civilians who were hold up at the steel plant in mary, a pole, i understand have now arrived in a shop or asia. what, what's the latest on their feet? yes, what we're hearing is that women, children, and the elderly have been evacuated, the less of those civilians, not the ukrainians for weeks i've been trying to evacuate them. now we understand that this was done with the help of the united nations and international committee of the red cross. now they arriving and reach over to the right. 85 club says from where we are now. they'll be given food, clothes, and shelter. but this is an end, at least for now to the situation at the as of still trying to in regards to the civilians. they've been there for weeks. this is wrong. the largest metro pants from europe. it covers the right tensile. i'm just squared. that's being bombed.

it's been russian forces. no people hiding in those tunnels and rooms underneath it, but the soldiers still remain. and now the city has merry point, me in the seats for months and again and again, there were attempts to create to management car doors at the 5. then each time, both sides, the rest of them knew quickness would blame each other for the breaches of those the size. and those schematic and cargo is not working. and we spoke to many people that had escaped my repose, and they gave hiero. new counsel was taken place there as some of the bombardment and to refine the fighting taken place. so it will be a relief, especially for the government now, the last of the civilians have been accurate, but i saw the ukrainian battalion which has been defending the found steel plant. i said they will fight to the end. let's take listen to what they said earlier. in a news conference we all of the neo 2 personnel in the garrison of the marine. we, i, me, work rice performed by russia. why roger norms? we are witness. surrender is not an option because the russia is

not interested in our life. the i'm not interested so the battalion says it's not giving up our side. what's going to happen now at that feel plant well, there's no way out for them to completely defeat now. so far, russian president vladimir putin instructed the military not to storm that scientist said they would post too much a risk to russian soldiers, but really there's no way out for them now. the deputy command of the battalion has suggested that the 3rd party gets involved to ensure an evacuation of the wounded and also so they could collect debt. now whether that's going to happen or not is, is a different question. but the, as a battalion have been critical of the central government here in ukraine to the feeling that they've been left to defend that city on their own, that haven't received the weapons of come into ukraine to have a very critical but also tomorrow is russia's victory date where they celebrate the

soviet union to reach over nazi germany and mario po, could tap p, rolling back. not only is the victory for the russians and creating that land, colorado from russia console territory to crimea, which annex in 2014. but key pox, the russian narrative has been to do not for ukraine, that's been disputed. but what doesn't lend itself to that? is that the, as of because you are a far right group that was incorporated into the ukrainian military and russia like me approved, you know, want to really pay that up. but so far as it stands, those soldiers the, as of the county and that still works, i have no way out. and right now it doesn't look like they will have a way to know someone really intervenes and negotiates for them. thank you for the update. i had big lie for say in jenny i meanwhile g 7 nations are imposing new sanctions on russia and its leaders have made the announcement after a video conference with ukraine's present voting easy landscape in a statement approved fed present to teens. war brings shame on russia. historic

become the president of the philippines. i notice and that's why this coming monday when you enter your voting precincts, just think of what you want for the future of a citizen to say the disillusioned by the reform minded government that followed the fall of the marcos regime in 1986. that's helped marco's junior built, a commanding lead in opinion polls along with his running mate, sarah deterred to the daughter of incumbent president rodrigo deterred date. nearly a quarter of the population lives in poverty and nothing because there is something wrong with the country now. and we need to change that, especially for the life of the poor lake. but analysts and fact checking groups say he's also benefited from a campaign of misinformation misleading posts on social media present his father's rule as a time of peace and prosperity. in fact,

it was rife with corruption and human rights abuses in a different way. maybe we know about his father's legacy. marcus junior has promised that he will change the price of electricity when he returns to the government. the price of goods will come. marco junior is able to limit scrutiny by avoiding media, his campaign, dean's unfriendly, accessories press conferences and campaign events tightly controlled. he also limits his appearances and interviews and debates. his message to filipino voters is one of unity urging them to move on from the past. simple but ambiguous. he hasn't offered anything concrete to us in terms of plans and programs and policies for us to even make an educated speculation of what his administration might be. but the irony is there like the being journal. and the reason why it's

very dangerous is because of the past that that he carry. so, and that's the past of martial law and dictatorship. the results of monday's election will have a huge impact on the future of the philippines, florence lee algebra manila, and his al jazeera jemina and in doug and now on how the roman catholic church could influence to vote. it may seem like a typical sunday in the country considered the last bastion of catholicism in asia, but prayers have never been more earnest. what is it in over the last few months, the hierarchy of the roman catholic church has strongly campaigned for the presidential run of the leader of the opposition. lenny labrador, who also happens to be the country's vice president. but even in a country where more than 85 percent of filipinos or catholics,

being counted. congratulations, alarmed slide 1416 boats. in his acceptance speech, lee promised to leader hong kong that was carrying open, vibrant and vigilant safeguarding our country's sovereignty. national security and development interests, protecting hong kong from internal and external stress, and ensuring as stability will continue to be of paramount importance. the former number 2 in the hong kong government had previously served the security chief authorizing the use of tear gas rubber, bullets, and occasional live rounds to disperse, protested during the unrest of 2019, oh, it was an election day of one candidate, 3 protesters and lots of police, 7000 officers, in fact,

enough to keep the few dissenting voices well away from the convention center where the vote was held. analysts say the john lee has china's trust, but winning the trust of hong kong could be more difficult. trust can be rebuilt through several ways. one way is by restoring accountable government and hong kong, which as in debased, i would say under the administration of kerry lamb. so that requires the cooperation of the media of ledge go of civil society. sunday was also mother's day in hong kong. some people we spoke to were aware there was an election, but just weren't sure that the candidates name. oh certainly but yeah. yeah, well, yeah. okay. number one, the election side is only one candidates for house. funking people

were supposed to choose a leader for the 1st time in 2017. it didn't happen then. it hasn't happened now raising the prospect that this could be the model for future elections to choose hong kong leda. adrian brown out to 0 hong kong. is there any forces of shot dead, a palestinian man who tried to enter israel through the separation barrier in the occupied west? spank is a live pictures from the scene early another palestinian was shot me killed by israeli police after a stabbing attempt at damascus gate. this comes after these really ami rated the hometown of 2 palestinian men suspected of killing three's rallies in the central city of a lot than 19 and 20 year olds were detained early after a search falling facies attack. stephanie deca has more from west jerusalem. it was an extensive man hunter. they were found close to the city of elijah in a forest area is ready, police are releasing video where you could see them,

some sort of telling them to come out. and then also there's one video which has a questioning of one of them asking their names as saying who he's with and what they did. and they said that they basically hit some people in a lad. it's not the 1st time that this kind of an attack has been carried out in an israeli city. there's been 6 or 7 of them over the last couple of months. it is also putting huge pressure here on what is already a fractures, coalition government. the assessment has been these were 2 a, you know, young men who are operating well working in israel illegally in the city of ally. they were from the occupied west bank, close to jeanine, and as you mentioned there, so there is now also a spotlight in a clamping down on the illegal workers, illegal palestinian workers who cross into israel. and also the assessment from these really internal security forces is at these kinds of attacks as we've seen. also in the past until i've even brush every other areas are carried out by

individuals which make them a far more difficult to prevent. so that's a concern, certainly moving forward. also an assessment from them saying that they did perhaps expect these kinds of attacks to potentially continue throughout the year. indonesia, hundreds of people have been rallying to support present chi side spans to rewrite the constitution. this concerned the public show of support could be use as a reason to dissolve political parties. opposition groups, a q side of a power grab by dissolving parliament and ruling by decree. and he's of oak mon has a detail some tunis. well, we've seen this ever since. i saw it. paragraph on the 25th. there's a cold to action from his supporters. they, they come out, they demonstrate, they make demands. and then chi side later that day will issue a decree all make an announcement. so we saw that on july, the 25th is so this happened when he dissolved the, the senate superior judicial counsel, and then he's been progressively dissolving. oh, in his, his words, reform me,
