deem green, who's cause blanks to the actions of the ukrainian military, the international committee of the red cross. and the un, we hope that we will be able to save the lives of our guys. there are severely wounded soldiers among those that have been given kiana. i want to stress that ukraine needs ukrainian heroes alive. though seriously wounded had been taken to a medical facility in the russian control town of north o. as oscar, they could become part of a prisoner swap, jerome mitchell over the past 24 hours, 265 militants laid down their arms and surrendered, including $51.00 seriously wounded. all those in need of medical care were sent for treatment to a hospital in the don yet sc people's republic. ukrainian fighters say they held out in our store for weeks to buy time for the rest of ukraine to battle russian forces and secure west and arms needed to withstand russia's assault. but the evacuation marks the end of what could be one of the longest and most bloody
4:04 pm
battles of the ukraine war. mary poll is now in ruins, and ukraine says tens of thousands of people have died. victoria gate and b al jazeera. i said bag is live for us now in denay pro asked that what more do we know about the evacuation of the steel plant? yes, we understand that we of those who did have been taken to the russian group with back areas around 30 to columbia, to the east of my poland, $200.00. and that was immaculate to do a few matter to again to back to separate areas. now the defense mentor has said that there is an exchange agreement on a deputy. prime minister has a form in the form that agreement is that the wounded ukrainians would be exchanged . really, russian not,
4:05 pm
that's what we're hearing. but this is significant to both russia and ukraine, the brigade, and those that remain invariable the scene of the defenders and many have come online to say that they felt disappointed by the politicians in key of for button or bite. and they were appealing to a 3rd party to intervene, to fight, to get them or not they are still life is still at the other side. and again, the holding. so i'm going agreement 3rd party, the interview just a bit evacuation. but this is significant. this is significant for russia because the mario poll once the everyone has left and is significant for ukraine because they, they are capitalizing on this to say that the defenders of mario polls have been evacuated, although they are still, those still remain, ban rushes demands a simple display daniel, of surrender. i said more for fatalities in the north of ukraine. what more do you know about that russian attack?
4:06 pm
well we know that the company, they have said that 8 people have killed and wounded after russian striking now he said this area, but this is have the ability to strike and people shouldn't ignore a rates that's an issue across the ukraine. we heard the v was also being struck military districts and stuff like russian asteroids and also shows is that he is just reminding the goal the russians have left every rank you have and chin and have an even 1450. the buses will coffee, and city has been one, russia, it's still strong and modern, military has the ability to decode, striking low range missiles. and that's exactly what russia is doing. it's talk thing, any formal west than on the crossing the country and talk things on western infrastructure and social warning as a government that people not to ignore air,
4:07 pm
raid sirens p. there's a sense that there are no rush. and for example, to me pro, life is way will but the area side and still go off. and that means that russia has been, has the ability to strike anywhere. and once we come back to the one with the wall, it's still in day. thank you very much for that update as that bag live for us in, in a for simmons. parliament, meanwhile, has over whelming li, approved the country's bid to join nato from warren. this, let's bring an, an diplomatic editor, james base his life for us in brussels. james, what mocking tell us about his development and at washington's invitation to host vote the ladies of sweden and finland later this way. things are moving very fast indeed, with regard to the, the plans for sweden and finland to join nato to join the military alliance. they were not members when that military alliance was 1st started at the end of world
4:08 pm
war 2, they have been non ally in countries for so many years, but they are now. it seems one step closer to being members of nato. these very sophisticated military is very strong military's or that would potentially join the nato alliance. and actually, you'll see a doubling of nato's border with russia more than doubled at when, particularly finland joins. it was an overwhelming vote in the finished parliament, $188.00 votes in favor. just 8 votes against a real turnaround in public and political opinion, infant phil, and about joining nato. and that's all happened since the russian invasion of ukraine. but important developments to with regard to sweden in the last couple of hours and a lend who is the swedish foreign minister. she's signed the former application letter from sweden to nato, which will be delivered to nato. now we had been expecting that maybe there be some sort of ceremony at nato headquarters with the handling in the finish. and the
4:09 pm
swedish letter i just talked about. but it looks like the big event is actually going to be on thursday at the white house. because we've heard also in the last hour that president biden has invited magdalena anderson, the prime minister of sweden and the president of finland solid in easter to come to the white house on thursday. an that's not just the end of it, because remember we also protect but potentially have a spanner in the works, which is turkey. turkey has objected to this, an application by the, the 2 countries because it says they ha, but terrorists now what i think turkey really means by that is that they allow a kurdish nationalist to operate on the soil. they allow people who support the p k . k, and they haven't extradited as turkey would like some of those people and some port supporters of the gland movement to turkey. but turkey is still opposed, and turkey is a nato member. and the rules of nato are that it has to be unanimous. so the
4:10 pm
important meetings are going to happen in the next 24 hours before that white house meeting. and they will be in new york, where and in the blink in the u. s. secretary of stages staging a meeting on food security as a response to the war in ukraine and the global a problem with, with, with food supplies. but in the margins of that meeting, arguably. and even more important meeting when he'll beat his turkish counterpart and the u. s try and persuade them to drop their opposition. now crucial wake ahead . thank you very much. james bands live for us in brussels and diplomatic in into their ukraine, southern ports he of a death that has strong historical links to russia. and many people there still identify as ration ukrainian officials say some local collaborators are helping the gremlins wor, if it i supplying sensitive information harder. abdel how me it has been asked with the police. what tain and found this report? yes. with the city still asleep. this ukrainians,
4:11 pm
what deem sets up on its daily mission going after people suspected of having links with russia? yes. please. yeah. the nightly curfew is about to be lifted. they assured the person of interest is to let oh yes. the renew. unless her deluca korea. but do we have people in odessa who supports russia? we found weapons and ammunitions they were planning to use once the russian army arrived in the city. when you d stay, but the situation and use against our local officials, africa, to layer. they have connections to the russian military. a problem, you know, liquor does a daughter, russia, ukraine has been under martial law since the beginning of the war. the government believes that informants are helping the russian army underground. so this has become their main task,
4:12 pm
going from home to home in the hunt for possible collaborators. this man turned out to be innocent. but on the 2nd raid, the man opened the door wearing a t shirt from his days as a soldier in the soviet army shall listen warrior the worst case scenario. do you have any russian emblems or symbols? they ask, man, no, he denies. but in the next room, they find their russian colors and his computer reveals he is following russia, news outlets band in ukraine since the start of the war. and when pressed about the conflict on the little bus, the we were shooting, told bass for 8 years. and now they are forming us in return is law. who is right, who is wrong? i don't know, asked the politicians on a sunday lit and what them bullshit. but this message is on his phone that aroused the most suspicion, glorifying the russian military's past and present. and talking about the ukrainian
4:13 pm
army in a they were give way to acknowledge is having a big role in this war. there are several apps and chat rooms where citizens can submit photos, videos and information about people or vehicles they deem suspicious. cyber investigators sift through hundreds of tips every day was verified. they pass on the information to the swat team. ukraine claims that more than $700.00 collaborators have been detained, and dozens of acts of sabotage have been disrupted so far. but it's a fine line, especially places like odessa, which share historical roots with russia. is that difficult situations? vit lana tells us, as her husband is taken away when he has a damage. i do not agree with the war, but we lived in soviet union. i'm half russian. how can i throw the rush and like away? yeah, yes, i don't agree. i don't understand what's going on,
4:14 pm
but this is my blood. should have a lot of me to raise it. it's more difficult for him because all his army veteran friends are there. there still people in ukraine were torn between the 2 identities condemning rushes attack on the country, but not able to disavow their past. most of the people question on that they will let go to the police. the task of figuring out who poses a real threat is a challenge. with that that i meet al jazeera, odessa reformers, candidates in lebanon had made b gains in sundays, parliamentary elections. official results have confirmed to run back. his bala and its allies have lost their majority. his adeline lebanese forces party has also made gains to become the biggest christian block. santa hunter reports from bay rich. many of the old faces are back, but a meaningful number of new ones made it into lebanon's parliament, which now has
4:15 pm
a new balance of power. the iranian back has been a party and its allies lost their majority, but no other political grouping or party can claim victory. the opposition may be sizable, but not united. what is a 1st, however, and post civil war politics are the so called reformists, who want at least 10 percent of the seats. these are candidates not affiliated to any of the mainly sectarian parties. we have to be as a king maker because we have not, we don't have to be in the polarization. we have to create a bridge. those new voices will stand in the middle of long time. enemy's tensions have already spilled onto the streets. supporters of rival parties fought on election day 3 local observers also documented attacks on their teams by supporters, mostly from she. our groups has below and among many witness so many pressures,
4:16 pm
especially in the electoral districts of and the bol buckhead by some of parties, delegates, and agents, and even supporters. the she groups may have preserved the $27.00 seats allocated to their sect, but observer say they can no longer claim souls representation. or they did everything they cancel, intimidates, voters, candidates and representatives, and the constituency. and at the same time, does also a gun at the vote. so there's a vote which went outside the box and to their opponents. and that happened for the 1st time. in spite of their attempts to keep it contained through the ballot box. there is no doubt change has begun, but the old divide has bala and its allies on one hand and the christian lebanese forces on the other hasn't gone away. lebanon's leaders will need to work together to agree on a new government and elect a president in
4:17 pm
a few months. political deadlock is not unusual in this fractured country, but there is an urgent need to adopt performs and laws to rescue a collapse the economy and a polarized parliament won't make that easy. the divide dates back to the civil war, which ended in 1990 after which power was divided between sects. but lebanon's parliamentary democracy is in reality, a consensual democracy. unanimity is needed for the system to work and peace to be maintained. michelle to why he is a university professor and a newly elected member of parliament from northern 11 on he joined us from the gotcha. hello. michelle, thanks for being on this news. our lebanon was hoping for a new beginning, but they've ended up with more divisions in parliament as a newly elected member. congratulations, by the way. how do you plan to provide stability for 11 on thanks for letting me know. so obviously need this election happened while the battle has been
4:18 pm
experiencing and going through a major, major economic collapse on all sorts of level. i want to say economic collapse, obviously is linked to political collapsed as the critical labs, as well as the public sector destroyed. private sector destroyed, everything is not working for this country. and in the, in the circumstances, we're only with the election happen. that is also the election very quickly before i just share with you our plans. as reformers will you commit to the political scene in the one on, is that 1st of all, the, the, the turn out the average turn out was not as high as we expected. and this is a message for us as humans, as well as the lebanese people, are still finding it hard to trust their politicians even there. but if they are newcomers, and this is probably linked to the fact that the political life of 11 on the last 3 years has been, i mean, control many plate by people, by people who have actually destroyed and more than ever,
4:19 pm
everything that is linked in everything everything been made lemon on special and that sense that as we found it a bit hard to try to convince people to go out there hold. having said that expertly been easily abroad, did an amazing job, but voting in big numbers for, for, for the opposition. so this is the mrs. i was the now of the, our, our a, i mean our main goal is the following. to be able to legislate to pass in laws to stop the bleeding. this is, this is the 1st thing we got. we want to do 2nd thing. the 2nd thing i want to do is actually to, to, to allow unbeknownst, people to have hope again to have faith in these newcomers. of the political seems, is very, very important. it helps sponsored positive energy. we need to be there, we need to motivate people who need to engage. people need to remind that that the practice of it's can be good, that not, not a fitting link to politics. is that because if see bad practices for the last 3 is of as a sub earlier, this is very, very important. but of you see the priority,
4:20 pm
stop the bleeding today, and we need to be able to, although this is not the job of the parliament, but we need to be informed about any negotiations happened during the liberties government, the i m f, lebanese government, the you to been, is government the will back us all a sofa. so we have to be able to tell the lebanese people what is happening. this is very, very important. when i say we want to be the voice as this is not a populous rhetoric. this is really a new practice of politics because that will help us at some point. it again, the country. we will literally shows everybody's people, everything that is happening within the bodies, political system or the institutions. this is very, very important. so, and we need their backing at some point and, but we need to get there. we need to get the approval and the other thing. but the only way to do that is to show them how serious, courageous, and them people and we are. and we have actually plan, this is, this is the only way also for now. michelle. that being said, how slowly do you think the decision making will be if alliances aren't made and
4:21 pm
has no majority empowerment. this is, this is, i mean we don't want to go into that loss again because deadlocks have been been a sort of fur part of the political life because it's the constitutional democracy . as you mentioned in the, in your report that we need to, we need to break that big. that lot. we need to be able to legislate. people voted for us. they expect us to be met. sure. and when i say my to and on the parliament did at the parliamentary love, it needs, we need to pass in laws that just it. and this means we need to talk with other groups aside parliament we to get signature. is this part of the parliamentary life? this is there. i mean, no one has a much a tool to majority terms of one block. having said that, when it comes to sovereignty issues, i think our group, the new colors medical enough that for now i'm sure that if i the name at some point, we're gonna, we got to be fed. if any place that this country is not going to be able to breathe again, unless the only the,
4:22 pm
the only am in the army and the air and the official security services have control and full monopoly of the weapons, it won't, it won't a liberal able will not be able to. ready to do it, i mean, to come out of the search of this mess without, without, i mean fixing that. so it's, it's a 2 tracks to track thing. the economic collapse. we need to be there with the right clothes with, with, with, with really if they're wishing what we call the separation of power. mean did they did actually has to be independent, legit, legislative body as low as job a day. the executive body and the 3rd job, a liberal part of the problem is this practice. it means those 3 functions are we have a fusion. so we have members of parliament why ministers at the appointed judges? and this is why does this, there was a break. it, we got to be there so that the practice of democracy is healthy, while he certainly had a big other head will issue on the best michelle to why he an elected member of highlight, thank you for your time. thank you for having me to us democratic congressmen
4:23 pm
pushing for an f b. i investigation into the killing a veteran al jazeera journalist, sharina of the us did a sim, was shot dead by israeli forces while on a simon to me occupied west bank on wednesday. her death is back global condemnation and calls to the mounts, the targeting of journalists, congressmen, andre carson and lou corey are in the process of gathering signatures for the motion. in an interview with al jazeera us congresswoman han homa called for accountability over showings, death then said washington should help with the investigation as lawmakers here in the united states. we have a responsibility to not hold our adversaries accountable, but also our allies. and i want to remind people that should lean herself was a united states citizen. so an american journalist is killed on
4:24 pm
a foreign soil. it is important for the united states government to get involved ask for an independent investigation. extreme weather is affecting millions of people across south asia and the middle east. health warnings have been issues in northern india, with temperatures have raged 49 degrees centigrade, millions of lives and livelihoods of being affected. officials warn the hate could cause health problems for the vulnerable, including infants, the elderly, and people with chronic diseases. have any middle has this update from new delhi? you know, it's absolutely unbearable. now, temperatures in the national capital have climb down slightly after touching nearly 50 degrees celsius a day or 2 ago. but it's still very, very hard and much higher than what is normal for this time of feel. and you know, i'm coming to you from an air conditioned office, but there are hundreds of millions of people exposed the heat wave that don't have
4:25 pm
that option. i mean, many of them are daily wage workers have to walk outside and can't really afford to take a day off. millions of all those are farmers. and i'm really stressed about what this heat is doing to their crops and also their livestock. now, you know, some of an india, especially northern india, can get very hot, heat waves all combine, but experts point out that what you're seeing right now is basically a larger change of changing weather patterns. and in pakistan, unprecedented temperatures have led to water and electricity shortages. people have enough to remain indoors during the hottest hours of the day and come out ha, to is following the situation from islam about for the bar few rig, buggers don had regarded the highest temperature in the wire and jacob bod and suck car, which are then the southern part of the country, central and southern parts of the country are under
4:26 pm
a heat wave and warnings that the temperature goes go above $51.00, possibly even touch 52 celsius that i've gotten leading to a cute water shortages report for north brit goes of heat stroke victims, and this is all happening at the time when, as you heard from bob, nate, this region did not receive the kind of range darden spring and that i've got here now leading the water sketch the day. some of the bug restaurant, major water, red wires are running dry, and out of gotcha is going to port a huge burden on the cash crop shot just cartoon and con, any extreme heat wave has heard india's weight production forcing it to impose a ban on exports india was planning to boost output to make up the global short for from missing ukrainian weight. but now after the next 4 band global prices have searched. when you record the u. s. has urged india to reverse the ban,
4:27 pm
saying the failure to do that could work in the food shortages worldwide. for more on this, let's bring in joseph glover, who's a senior research fellow at the international food policy research institute. he joins us from washington. they say, joseph, thanks for weighing on this news. our, this export band could not have come at a worse time, but it certainly wasn't a surprise. was it? now i, we've been watching the indian crop to tear it over the last few weeks. i understand it over the last 10 years and it actually was just a minor player in the world. we market export in about $2.00 to $3000000.00 times this year after the war. after the war started in ukraine, india stepped up and said they thought they could export as much as 10000000, sometimes even 15000000 this year. but of course, what the deteriorating situation is going to be far less than that. and now with export bands on it, the, the amount of we will be more limited,
4:28 pm
certainly more limited than what was unfortunately thought. so what impact will these export band have on global food security? if india goes ahead with this band? well, i think, i think it's for you to remember that it's not a total band that they are. they have indicated that they will honor any letters of credit. i just last week in be sent out a delegation to people to talk to countries that needed. we and in the last couple of days just announced that they would be about a half 1000000 tons to egypt. so i think we'll get less than $10000000.00 times for sure, but we will get we, we do it will be exporting some week, particularly to some of its neighboring countries like bangladesh, which countries will be most affected by this next. well, i think, you know, obviously why prices are world prices. everyone feels how, you know, when prices go up there,
4:29 pm
it felt pretty much why of the ukraine price. you certainly really hit those. the north african middle east in those countries have scrambled try to find new supplier such as india. i think this move to, to sell to, to agree to sell some week to egypt. well, certainly help. but, but it's, it's, you know, again, india will if it, if it continues to sell it to its neighbors, like bog, with ashley and other countries in the gulf that i think that will be a help at least. and you think indeed announcement could cause other countries to make similar fans or restrictions that's certainly the concern in 2007, 8 and again in 201011. when we had big christ bikes in world markets, it was exactly that problem that countries would put on export band in 2 days later . and other countries would analysis similar band. and so the concerns are we,
4:30 pm
we already have something like 15 percent of the calories traded in the world are restricted right now by bands or licensing requirements or other sorts of things. and the last thing we want is for other countries to, to join us with restrictions and prevent supplies from the market, because that will just cause more volatility. and obviously a lot more suffering from, from the poor countries who are unable to afford these high prices. indeed will certainly be watching this space. we appreciate your analysis joseph lava, a senior research fellow at the international state policy research institute. thanks for joining us on the south. thank you. and the light a sandstone to heat iraq has dissipated, but not before sending hundreds of people to hospital with breathing problems. flights were suspended in baghdad. and now jeff and some schools and officers were forced to close. it was the 8th sandstone since april, and the weather is being blamed on climate change in the destruction of

4:37 pm
remains the negotiated solution with the e. u, and empower allow the legislation being introduced. we remain open to further talk if we can achieve the same outcome through negotiated settlement. to write this down for us, it's bringing jona how, who joins us live from lawn and northern islands, main shipping point. china. what is the significance of this move by the british government? what am i going to context for you? that is long behind me, the c port that checks going on on goods arriving in northern ireland from great britain checks that exist under the post briggs in northern ireland protocol. a new customs arrangement, effective the customs border down the i received that is it the hock. now of an escalating dispute between the u. k and the e u. and that was list trust putting forward britain's the u. k. government next step in what is of course, also

a very serious situation here in northern ireland power sharing government under the good friday peace agreement has stalled, has broken down with the democratic unionist party boycotting in opposition to the northern ireland protocol that they say undermines northern islands place within the u. k. s internal market. and as well as that, of course, you've got the you who are saying that if britain goes along with these unilateral measures that could spock a trade war, let's trust their setting out a plan of vision for future legislation to be brought forward. not now, but at some point in the summer that would allow for those unilateral changes to the protocol to, to take place now does that souls northern islands problems as things stand right now? it's quite hard, frankly, to see how it does because the d u. p has said that they will not be enticed back
