beg reports from the city of neutral after 82 days underground, these wounded ukrainian soldiers are finally leaving the as of store steel plot. or russian buses displayed the letter said symbolic of its invasion. for months, these fighters from the as of battalion attempted to defend the steel planting, merrier pole, and prevent russian soldiers from completely taking over the port city. but out numbered and overpowered. ukraine says its mission to defend. the plant is over c stolen, yacoma, defenders of merrier, pull, fulfilled all the time that by their commanders. unfortunately, we do not have the opportunity to unblock as often by military means. to fight with the steel burks and the plight of civilians and fighters trapped there captured the world's attention. all women, children, and elderly have already been evacuated. president vladimir zalinski says the priority now is to move out the rest of the fighters still in the plant. so dickie

deem again, he's called thanks to the actions of the ukrainian military, the international committee of the red ross and the you in. 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 care. and i want to stress that ukraine needs ukrainian heroes alive. though seriously wounded, have been taken to a medical facility in the russian controlled tan. and over as often they could become part of a prisoner swap. gera, which was 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 dawn, yet sc people's republic. ukrainian fighters say they held out an as of store for weeks to buy time for the rest of ukraine to battle. russian forces and secure western arms needed to withstand russia's assault. but the evacuation marks the end

of what could be one of the longest and bloody battles of the ukraine war. maria poll is now in ruins, and ukraine says, tens of thousands of people have died with ukraine accepting that the battle for the as a full client. and mary paul is over. the russians now have their language to annexed crimea, as well as a significant victory for the strategically important port city. what with the fighting in the east, continuing and with daily miss ireland air strikes, the war is far from over. i said, beg, i'll de 0, done april, and also to bodies in moscow with more on the evacuation from the steel plant. it was only over the past 24 hours that we understand it with the assistance of the united nations as well as the international committee of the red cross. they were able to and get the injured fighters out finally, and we understand there were still many of the ukrainian fighters fighters still left, but most of them are injured. and now this is a process that is ongoing. according to the russian defense ministry. of course,

mary opal, it is a very strategically important as support city. it is an area that russia claimed that they were in full control of in late april 8 links, crimea, which russia annex in 2014 to the dumbass region. and then on to russia. it is a land corridor that this country was looking to establish. and this was one of the final remaining issues that these fighters were a prolonging their full and victory for the russian military in mario pull. now, it seems that the evacuation is underway, and so it really is going to be a victory for the russian military to say that they have now full control of marable, which then means they will be able to establish that much at needed land quarter from crimea all the way across to russia, unless you have us to learn cause a member of ukraine's parliament and she says, it's hard to tell what russia will do with the fighters. i still have lots of high left that this will be an exception on russia will actually at least once abide

by the international humanitarian law. the change will happen as agreed upon as agreed upon as witness by un institutions. when i see on by the national redcross, but it seems that russia is too keen to go back on that watch and commit yet another will crime. you know, and ukraine, we say, are you both sounds? the crank will stand, but ukraine will stand in order to fight back for mario, pull on to make sure the playing and flag is raced up on the cranium. living and mario are safe on the brain authority and being cranium in ukraine. there is a full dedication from parliament, from government, from the president of ukraine to keeping the nation safe and to keeping russia was

as to crush. check out the ukraine out of europe and out of the world, finland and sweden, a pushing ahead with times to join nato. even though turkey has threatened to block the move, that expected to submit the bids on wednesday. both countries have long maintained a neutral stands. but rushes invasion and ukraine has prompted them to make what's been described as a historic change turkeys against the membership because of that allege support for cottage p k. k fighters is sophia, not even in sweden and finland. we have a great to go hand in hand through this entire process, and to morrow will file the application to nato together. it's a message of strength and a clear signal that we stand united going into the future ahead. the u. s. president has condemned what he calls the poison of white supremacy. joe biden was in buffalo, new york, where he met families of victims of the latest mass shooting. the shooter open fire in a supermarket, killing 10 african americans in a racially motivated attack. president biden called it domestic terrorism and said

racism have been stopped for political gain. he also called for tougher laws and ownership of assault style rifles. luc jamiracle experiment in democracy is in danger. like it hasn't been in my life time is in danger. this our hayden fear of being given too much oxygen by those who pretend to love america. we have to refuse to live in a country where black people going about a weekly grocery shopping can be gunned down by weapons of war, deployed in a racist cause. we have to refuse to live in a country where fear and lies are packaged for power. and for profit. it must all list this great cause of america. this is work requires all of us present. politicians, commentators, citizens,

none of us can stay in sidelines. she harbor times, he's got more from buffalo. the speech was was very much, very generalized rhetorical mood of the gram. erica is better than this. white supremacy has no place in america, all of god or religion. but yes, you're phrases like you're in america, even when white supremacy will not have the last word and so on. but i mean the restless here and we've been talking to a few. i mean, clearly these black neighborhoods like buffalo ordered labor were in east buffalo. i mean, they've always been red line always been bypassed by development. there always actually have been results of how deeply ingrained white supremacy is into the economic activities united states. the 1st place. this is the only super look at this was the only supermarket in this entire neighborhood. and now it's close to people having to use food banks. and that's what you think of the white neighborhood here. what does that say about white supremacy in african american

neighborhoods or in america as a whole? and so when we, when we're talking to people they say, you know, i mean, you know, we expect the rest of in some ways, and this is a poorly outrage. but you know, some of these one past week, so i think he said look, well maybe there's extra focus on what our neighborhood will help redevelopment have, because usually everyone just passes us passes us by beyond that, they're biting. didn't talk about an assault weapons battle that he then later on, admitted on the tarmac on the way to f. one, he has no chance of passing that in congress. and then he told me very vaguely about internet grooming of extremism and terrorism. but again, once you go on to of us when he was sort of walking back because it's a very serious concern about the government regulating what is hate speech, what is, what is acceptable speech? because this country has a very bad history of then just the government and simply shutting down its enemies . and of course we have the 1st amendment said we have actually even hate speech is protected by the supreme court. as or from left to right. there is a little reluctance about going down that road to police in california say,

a man who opened fire in a church was motivated by political hatred for taiwan. prosecutor see was trying to execute as many people as possible. one person was killed and 5 were wounded. when the shooter carried out the attack during a church lunch, they were cho allegedly chained the doors and put super glue in key holes and the lead up to the attack shows a us citizen. but he grew up in taiwan. shall anchors ruling parties, blocked on no confidence motion against president. gotta buy a raj, a poxy in parliament. ah, ah, people gather near the president's office, demanding that roger pucks us steps down. the country is run out of some essential medicines and many are struggling to buy enough food. the government doesn't enough foreign currency for crucial imports, including petrol, diesel, and gas radio therapy to sit and you go nowhere and up the people lined up for killing me,

doesn't kilometer thank unable to get to work. so how can you run away? good, right. then how can you do we are your da da da da to the activities we are here from a morning 430. so yeah, we expecting that girl to come, but still we have not received it. and we are getting the news that her it won't be arriving today. and for the law another 3 days, it won't be available. so i had analogy 0 disagreements of the so called northern ireland protocol are causing headaches in belfast and brussels. and the struggle to survive is a brutal heat wave continues to sweep across india and pakistan. ah no, not mentioning tornadoes too much. recently in the u. s. a happy to monitor their warnings on actually in the northeast,

which is not that usual we should be seeing them down in texas, oklahoma. and certainly that looks like big showers, but not a huge risk. even they were feeding, wants a moisture all the time across the plains and eventually into the midwest. this still hot and dry with the biggest fire on record in new mexico, still burning and the weather still conducive to fiery stuff and the still cold enough air to bring some snow to the high ground of british columbia. but that's the picture from us on wednesday, the tail end of that frontal system increases the showers in, for example, the bahamas and cuba, and down towards honduras, costa rica, panama, west of that. and the mexico particulars, fairly dry. wanted to like to share the temperatures rising once again in south america. these are the seasonal rains and they've picked up a little bit in the south of columbia, venezuela, and across through french canada. this is potentially flooding territory flashed flooding territory. otherwise, it's a dry pitch and he come down the obvious will off the southeast of brazil,

which gave a pretty poor day to montevideo on tuesday. the slight improvement on wednesday, ah, the trust in authority is at an old time low. you once happy hench patriot distress. this is a battle about what the truth actually is. i'll just the eras investigative unit pulls back the curtain and reveals how fear suspicion and conspiracy theories have become the tools of the powerful were in a dangerous territory. and that dangerous territory was di. what happens now that we literally diverge, that may well be how democracy dies. the truth illusion are just either oh

i just had a reminder about help. so is this the fate of ukrainians forces you've been defending body of holes as of style still works in russian attacks is unclear. moscow says more than $260.00 ukrainian soldiers surrendered ukraine once a prisoner swapper. russia wants some of them declared terrorists, finland and sweden or pushing ahead with their plans to join nato and submit their applications on licensing turkey. second, to block the moon minority states are set to abandon their loan. how neutral status, because of russia's invasion of the train. as president joe bivens met the families of those killed and saturdays mash, shooting in buffalo, 10 people died and the racially motivated attack president biden's not expected to call a congress to take action on gun ownership. the british foreign secretary less trust, says she wants to bring

a new laws to change parts of what's called the northern ireland protocol. use want the u. k, against trying to unilaterally alter the post, brags that tre deal on its own, that have been warnings for trade war if no agreement is reached. john hall reports from belfast. this is long seaport, where customs checks are carried out on goods arriving in northern ireland from great britain under the post briggs in northern ireland protocol. it established a customs border within the united kingdom itself as a way of protecting the use single market. while avoiding a hard border on the island of ireland, the protocol is now with the heart of an escalating dispute between the u. k and the e. u, and has led to the breakdown of power sharing government in northern ireland. i'm announcing our intention to introduce legislation in the coming weeks to make changes in the protocol or preference remains the negotiated solution with the

e u. suddenly that was, the british government announcing its intention to take unilateral action if changes to the protocol can't be negotiated by promising to enact legislation. the hope is to encourage the e. u to compromise and also to repair devolved government at stormont by enticing the democratic unionist party back into power sharing with the nationalist she had fain the d u. p. who's cautiously welcome to move, say the protocol undermines northern islands, right to equal treatment as part of the u. k. p. warner avoids the consequences of this protocol and that's why we oppose that from the beginning because we recognize the political and economic instability. it would cause on the harm it would create for the union itself. the european union is likely to see this move by the british government as a threat. and it has warned about the consequences of unilateral action potentially

including a legal challenge if they believe the british government has breached international law, potentially even down the line resulting in a trade war. and as much as the prime minister, the foreign secretary say, they hope for a negotiated resolution to all of this. it's frankly quite hard to see the e u capitulating under the shadow of a threat. the irish foreign minister said it was damaging to trust with a general lack of trust already an aggravating factor. i think that is a significant problem and no other than a recent poll for present express trust in the u. k. government, which is a very low present for a resident sovereign government, i think within the conservative party, there's all sorts of games being played, which we don't actually understand necessarily from here, the ministers and then there's another factor which is the american factor. exactly . how would they want to negotiate their interest in northern ireland? so all of these things have not yet crystalized, and have to wait for the consequence. all of which leaves the why the dispute and

northern islands problems within it. little closer to resolution jona whole al jazeera belfast libby. his parliament appointed prime minister 40 by chicago says he'll move his government to search for me whether stay shauna announced the move after the administration of the jaime the debate. i refused to give up power unblocked. his attempt to enter the capital tripoli on tuesday, let me know how to governments since march, when parliament appointed pasha guys prime minister, but the incumbent, me to the baby called the move in gentlemen, i refused to step aside from the president among mac homes, pushed for a rapid investigation into the killing a veteran. i'll just say it. a journalist shipping a block to us democratic conduct. congressmen are also calling for an f. b i investigation into her death. shooting was a us citizen, congressman andre carson, and lou korea. and in the process of gathering signatures for the motion, i

reformed candidates in lebanon have made big games and sundays parliamentary elections. official results have confirmed that iran bike has bala and its allies of loss. the majority, the saudi aligned lebanese forces party has also made games to become the biggest christian block. in a hot reports from beirut. many of the old faces are back, but a meaningful number of new ones made it into lebanon's parliament, which now has 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 sound in the middle of long time, enemies. 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 observers, witness so many precious, especially in the electoral districts of love 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, both those candidates and their representatives of 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 governments and elect a president in 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 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 than their ushers either. they route extreme by those affecting millions

of people across south asia and the middle east health warnings. so been issued in northern india were temperatures of 49 degrees celsius. that is, how reports from new delhi you, again to tune. they bids our doors as he prepares for a long day at this construction site, where he lives with his family in a makeshift shack like hundreds of millions of indians, he's forced to risk their health and work in the record breaking wheat. let her go soft recall you. we did masonry of 100 feet, but now we can do only 70 feet. our contractors often get angry with us because of this. i feel we need to rest for a day or 2. it's too hot, but if he don't work, what will we eat? some on parts of south asia arrived early this year. march was the hottest in a century in the region, while april brooks ever records. average temperatures are $6.00 to $9.00 degrees

celsius above normal. some areas in new delhi recently surpassed 49 degrees. jacob hubbard, in southeast pakistan, reached an all time high of 51 degrees. dozens of people have died of heat related illnesses in pakistan, while millions are struggling with our basic amenities such as access to clean water and electricity. finally got been a or did it any odd color that we haven't seen such a heat wave before. we're worried because i lie stock sick due to the excessive heat, the vegetation, dried up, the water tables going down. we have to use wet clothes to cover ourselves to try to beat the heat. the extreme heat is damaging crops and threatening to further increase fuel prices, making the poor even more vulnerable when so lot of your population is in such a big re, had gotten the lot have the facility acid boulevard in these countries. we're not that so, so that'll look biggest and another very big point. the vulnerability of this

region along with applied with factors it baltic mommy and the situation of these leaders. coaching temperatures have spurred demand for electricity, causing a cold shortage. the indian government says little import called to prevent power cuts, and it's not just a blistering heat. experts a global warming is changing weather patterns in the region. why rainfall in northern india has been much lower than normal. the north east is reeling from heavy rains. at least 10 people have been killed, and landslides have cut off basic services for thousands of people. pardon him at the al jazeera new delhi. brenda cornell is the director of climate science at the union of concerned scientists, and she says the heat waves are a serious threat to human life. we know from studies that people who are healthy, yet may do activities where they have to be outside and exert energy, such as outdoor workers. these are types of activities that should be curtailed during extreme heat waves. and unfortunately with climate change,

we're going to have more and more disruptions to our economic livelihoods and things like that. and we need to take actions, give people holidays times where we can stay safe and stay indoors. so some people looking at the health effects, 35 degrees celsius isn't, isn't a heat index, is something that if you're doing activity, even if you're healthy, your body may not be able to cool off because the outdoor air is just as close to the skin temperature if you're any hotter than the skin temperature of human beings, it's impossible to cool off. and this is one of the great consequences of climate change in heat waves. it could be several hours where you're reaching that dangerous zone and you don't want to get about 6 hours. so you really have to take actions to get out of such conditions. what we see is with climate change such days,

such hours of extreme unhealthy, dangerous heat, are only likely to be more frequent. the water cranes taking center stage of the opening of the con film festival fronts. president vladimir zalinski urged movie makers not to stay silent while he says, hundreds, keep dying and the largest you to be in conflict since world war 2. johnny angela is on the festival light cameras. action can a 2 week celebration of cinema after a bruising 2 years for the big screen. 35000 film buyers and sellers, critics and celebrities, a gathering to do business, and promote owner as a film festival is opening with the french company. fi will cut a love letter to filmmaking and budget zombie movies from the team behind the oscar . when the artist, the films caused inquiry, walked the red carpet earlier to the flash of both, and the chairs from fans, but his actually ukraine. that's going to be pulling focus this year. every door

year? the way that we are addressing this, the way that we're dealing with these things, needs to be address on a grass roots level as well. it's not just, you know, the festivals, the public facing situations. it's also about cruise. it's also about all of my new share of what goes into the industry at large and a lot about to do with education outreach help to get people who don't have access to those doors in a room again has been called a cathedral dedicated to weld cinema this year, films from japan, south korea, and iran, a keenly anticipated by critics. no films from sub saharan africa have been selected in any agree, but that hasn't dampen spirit. founder of the african pavilion, says filmmakers from the continent have a unique set, the skill, i think they have very good at doing a lot with. and it make that the creativity is, as it's best. so we don't cancel it,

but it's hard to say your perfume is joy. the film festival is leaning on blockbusters like the new top gun, maybe to draw the media attention. but it is art how similar it seeks to champion between the explosion of streaming services and the closure of cinema theaters. and he's all the attention it can get. charlie angela al jazeera can ah, this is al jazeera, these are the top stories. it's not clear what's gonna happen to ukrainian fighters have been defending mario polls as of style still works from russian attacks. moscow says more than $260.00 ukrainian soldiers have surrendered ukraine once a prisoner swap, but russia wants some of them declared terrorists. cren london, sweden no said to submit their applications to join nato on widen. stay turkeys accused both countries of support and kurdish p k k.
