a living hell. nearly 3 months after invading russia is focusing its campaign in the eastern south is enclosed dumbass and industrial heartland, where moscow has supported separatists for years. when, as lensky says, the region is now destroyed. russian forces have secured a significant victory in ukraine the past week give orders. soldiers defending the steel was in murray upon the south to stand down of the weeks of embankment more than 1500 are reported to has surrendered. but a deputy commander of ukraine's as of regimen to suggested they're not yet finished . the i from one me and the other commanding officers remain on the territory of the as of stall plants, a certain operation is going on, the details of which i will not disclose. thank you to the whole world and thank you to ukraine for your support. we will see each other's will dawson jibari standing by in moscow to tell us what russia is saying about this life to her. after we speak to, i said, begging chrome, a toss in easton ukraine. and as to what's the latest we have at the steel plant in
6:03 pm
maryville, what do we know? well, this commander of the battalion commander went online and said that the operation is still under way. and that the, the civilians and heavily wounded had been evacuated. but the process of removing the dead had died during the cycle. it still underway. now what's interesting is that we heard from cranium presidents, the density that the operation still plant had ended. and this seems to be some sort of difference between what we're hearing from the command of the as a battalion and kiev now we've also heard from the ukrainian ministry has ordered the as of soldiers to stand down. again, ukraine has refrained from calling. what happened as i've sold a surrender? that said the operation has ended. we know that fighters will take, do russian control territory. these commanders seem to be holding direct and it's
6:04 pm
not strange that they have actually our odds with kids in the past. they have come out to say that they feel like they've been forgotten, that they've criticized the politicians in kiev and appeals for a 3rd party to intervene so that they can be evacuated. but again, the as a battalion was formed at the start of this war back in 2014, when rushing back separately to control over the east of the country. now is a far right battalion which would incorporate is incorporated into the military infrastructure. and they are now it seems with kit and i said, what's the situation elsewhere in easton, ukraine as far as we know? yes, present. valencia said that the rest of a turning this into hell, and certainly the view we get when we speak to soldiers serving on the front line now over the last week or so. the russian forces have made some significant gains
6:05 pm
moving in several different axis. and if i can just explain you that comment to square read in right now is in a, in almost a pocket, surrounded by russian troops. and the russian troops are advancing. now. we were in town called by muth yesterday. that's been severely hit that suffered from shelling artillery as well as it strikes. now the error error side has been going on off here for more than an hour now. and other places that we go to. we've heard the same thing. we've heard a crust overhead and also anti aircraft guns firing. now, the fact is that many people will be walking around like it's normal, although their rates are going on. but there's an acceptance that the russians have the ability to strike anywhere at any time in take that chronic toast and elsewhere the don bus region. ok, i said baker for now in cremmit or thank you. well, russia says the sooner all fighters are out of the still works in maria pover
6:06 pm
student, everyone that can be safe. we have like, you know, the blockade of the stop sign continues. civilians have been evacuated from the plans and they were held thereby. ukrainian nationalists, 177 people have been saved, including 85 women and 47 children. all of them have received qualified medical and psychological help with nationalists, blocked at the plans are actively surrendering so far. 1908 people have laid down their arms. will dorsey jabbar is in moscow for us now? she joins a slide door. so what are the russians been saying about this? us do well, the russian defense minister survey shows we just heard from a he explained to his board that the latest situation on the ground is that they are russian forces continue to blockade this flag despite the fact that i nearly most of the soldiers and civilians have been evacuated, but they're still clearly some members from the ukrainian military inside the plant
6:07 pm
. and that will continue despite the fact that this effort at to evacuate the civilian population as well as the military personnel from the plant began on may 16th with the assistance of the united nations as well as the international committee of the red cross. we also heard from the defense minister some new developments according to the russian and military, and they're at so called a special military operation that's ongoing with the focus on eastern part of ukraine. saga shaw ago said that at their efforts to take full control of the lugens region in don bass is reaching its final stages. and that's a will announce a full control of that area. in the coming days. he said that this means that their efforts to control the dumbass region will increase as a result of this victory that they're expect to secure in the next few days. this is of course, part of a larger plan to take full control of not only the eastern part of ukraine,
6:08 pm
but also the southern part now that mary, opal is now in russian control. and the eastern part of ukraine seems to be a heading in that direction. they will certainly be focusing their efforts into these operational region of ukraine where they will likely try to gain more territory. and also we understand that sir. russia was opening up its military ranks to more people. yes, the defense minister again also said that they are going to increase the number of units they have in their western military front. and they're going to add 12 military units. and of course, they're going to need more man power. as a result of which we understand that's the state duma. that's the lower house of parliament. your has been debating a proposal of a bill to allow and russian citizens over the age of 40 and foreigners over the age of 30 to be able to join the russian military. they're specifically looking for
6:09 pm
specialists that are able to operate military equipment. and this means that the current regulations that sees people between the ages of 18 on 44 russian nationals and 18 and 34 foreigners will be lifted if it's passed. this certainly will be a huge boost to the russian military. but of because of course, there will be financial incentives. this will be an opportunity for many people who have the right skills to be able to join the russian military. and this is what they're hoping to achieve. if this bill is passed. daughter jabari live in moscow, thanks for that update of finland says russia will hold deliveries of natural gas from especially morning a soft. russia also stops applying electricity to the northern nation last week and has officially applied for nato membership. despite warnings from moscow, as it will now get gas from estonia,

6:17 pm
administration is now looking to shift some of that to the us. how will do that in my view is by working with close partners who do share my values. like to would probably good career, secure, more of what we need from our allies and partners and bolster our supply chain resilience. the move is also partly driven by china's drive for self sufficiency in ship production. with the government pouring billions of dollars into the industry . for the u. s. to maintain its technological advantage, it has to invest in computer chips for south korea, a focal point of precedent, biden's visit is an opportunity to strengthen existing ties into a more comprehensive partnership. inner man ricka here, i hope that today's visit will serve as an opportunity for the r o k u. s. relationship to be reborn as an economic security alliance based on advanced technology and supply chain cooperation. president biden's visit comes
6:18 pm
a week after he hosted southeast asian leaders at the summit in the u. s. analysts say these events underscore how the indo pacific region remains a top priority for the biden administration. on saturday, the 2 presidents will hold a summit with their expect it to discuss regional security, including the de new clarissa ation of the korean peninsula. florence louis al jazeera sol. as a ramos horta says he'll work to forge closer ties of china after being sworn in as east timorese president. the independence figuring that nobel laureate, has served in the job before, as well as a prime minister and a foreign minister tricycle washington report. entirely as his youngest country welcomed its new president 72 year old jose ramos horta is a familiar faith for most in east timor, also known as stimulus day. it's the 2nd time he's held the presidency and the land, the country gained independence. 20 years ago,
6:19 pm
after more than 2 decades of occupation by indonesia, it's often struggled with periods of political instability. ramos horta has pledged to help resolve the tensions between rival faction, people to all parties, both inside and outside parliament. i will continue to have dialogue with every one of these 3. president ramos horta played a major role in east team was fight for independence from indonesia. it has been an important political figures ever since. after securing a landslide when in elections in april, he says he will focus on strengthening regional ties. our relations with public off indonesia, australia, new zealand law, and the south east asian countries, jo graphically blows will be more, less. it must be at the top of our national agenda in east timor is the only country in southeast asia,
6:20 pm
that's not part of the association of southeast asian nations, or as the on indonesia has pledged to support. ramos horta does goal of becoming a member. we try our best. who can fins, us? yeah, members on the board, them. so the more less become part of the process. so we will continue to convince of the members east timor is one of the poorest countries in asia, about 40 percent of its population live below the poverty line. right. i mean, everyone has high hopes that with president ramos horta connections. we can have cooperation with other countries to develop, to more less about 70 percent of people in east timor are under 30 years old. it's a young country with a young population. and well, people haven't forgotten its troubled past many a hoping for a better future. jessica washington out to sierra france, germany, belgium and australia are among the latest countries to detect the cases of monkey
6:21 pm
pox. they, joan, others like britain, well known infections doubled from 9 to 20 on friday. the virus rarely seen outside the west and at central africa was never spread so quickly before the haunting repose monkeys able to transmit monkey pox to humans, causing fever, aches and genital lesions. but the virus passing from person to person has been rare, especially outside of west africa. until now, that mason p b mo, cases of more people who are incubating the disease in west africa who traveling. so there's more opportunity for to seed into, into european countries. another discovery is who is being infected, all known patients are male and say they're gay or bisexual. the risk factor here has been men having sex with men and so that sort of close contact. that makes sense because the way this is spread is through both respiratory droplets with
6:22 pm
close, very close proximity face to face respiratory droplets, but also direct contact with lesions that have virus in them. the smallpox vaccine was phased out in the 1980s, but it also protected against monkey pox in some signed to say the winding down of these vaccination campaigns has led to this jump in monkey pox cases. there is no need to panic. he at this is not going to spread and get into the general population and cause an epidemic like corona virus has while signed to say it's relatively difficult for this virus to spread governments and at least 5 countries are trying to figure out just how monkey pox made it to their shores. leah harding al jazeera. the virus was 1st discovered in the military monkeys in 1958. it since become endemic in some parts of central and west africa. the art
6:23 pm
break is believed to have originated from man who travelled from nigeria to the u. k. earlier this month of this week, cases were identified in several european countries and in canada and united states . now the 1st 2 suspected cases have been found in australia, or both men had recently returned from europe offer our so there is a professor of epidemiology and medicine and director of i camp at columbia university. she joined us from new york. thanks for being with us here on the program. so how concerned should we be about this outbreak? i think we never, we have our base like this one, particularly when it's happening in several countries around the world. we should be concerned about that. i don't believe there is reason for panic at this one. this is not a virus similar to. so what we do, which is the virus that causes covered 19,
6:24 pm
it has very different characteristics and it's not as transmissible as easily transmissible as the color 19. what are those characteristics then? how serious is monkey pox if you contract it? well, it really depends on the, the originating it, there you to type of the virus, but it can result in initially very non specific kind of symptoms like a fever, aches and pains, and so on and maybe some nausea. and then that follows by some rash, a skin rash that appears that after. but most people, when they get infected with monkey virus, they actually have this, what we call the cell limited infection. that means that they were recovered by themselves without the need for any interventions or any treatments. and what are scientists and doing to try and better understand what's going on here. he changes a very busy forehead. they're trying to, they're working on
6:25 pm
a variety of different trans. i think one of them is obviously to try to understand and figure out which, which of these, where did this virus come from? is it coming browser you from, and i sharing variant or the variant that's been identified in the democratic republic of the congo. these have different kinds of characteristics. so i can be them in the laboratory. i think another way in which scientists are working now hard on is to to talk to the individuals who've been diagnosed with monkey ox. and to try to ask them questions to try to figure out exactly where they might have acquired this infection. whether they've traveled overseas that arise from a country, that's where this virus is more dominant or predominant, or whether they didn't contact somebody else who may have had this condition. so i think this is the kind of epidemiologic work that is going on now to try to
6:26 pm
identify, you know, one of the risk factors. one of the factors that tell us how this individual individuals got infected with this rather unusual virus. and in the meantime, in practical terms, what can be done to help prevent it spread? i think most importantly is that letting people know about it and like for example, so this, this, this, this conversation here is a 2 people should be aware that there is a risk and usually. ringback risk initially from contact with animals, variety of different types of animals or contact with the person who is suspected of having a box and to be conscious that you can catch this. now just by a, by touching an animal has affected being exposed to somebody where are or with monkey virus,
6:27 pm
but that monkey box. but also that to keep in mind that this could be transmitted. also, particularly in the early phases of infection, through just sharing here through respiratory trans. i believe it, they were far as to their purpose of epidemiology on medicine at club university. thanks for those in sites. thank you. have a good a court in argentina has found the state responsible for the killing of hundreds of indigenous people. it happened in northern sher count province nearly a 100 years ago. the case is seen as a milestone intelligent tina acknowledging genocide, to reserve a report from one of ours. the marvellous was brought to win aside from the northern province of chuckle when she was a child. she's a member of the common indigenous community. her family was escaping poverty. she says discrimination has been part of her life, me one and delivery stain for my children. it's difficult to accept that they call us indians or they leave us aside. we are not animals,
