coverage now from russian capital moscow. these are the last remaining ukrainian fighters in the as of style steel plant. now they are prisoners of war. they survived russia's onslaught for more than 2 months in the seal plant. their future is now unknown. their surrender brings them much needed victory for russian forces in the strategically important port city of mary opal. the ministry of defense was reported to president of russia on the end of the operation on the complete liberation of sto, industrial complexes under the city of maria, political from ukrainian fights was the kremlin, says, those who surrender will be treated in line with international norms. some russian lawmakers have demanded they be tried for war crimes, and one said they should face the death penalty. sir gay show announced his forces alongside rushing back separatists will soon claim full control over the logan

screeching east ukraine. but on a victory that's long overdue for his forces. forces the defense minister wants to expand. he reveal plans for 12 more military units to be added to the military districts in western russia, in response to finland and sweden applying to join nato. that extension needs more man power, and the russian lawmakers may have the solution, this se, tomorrow on friday said it's considering a bill that would allow russians over the age of 40 and foreigners, over the age of 30, to sign up for the military. the website of the russian parliament lower house, the state duma said the move would enable the military to utilize the skills of older professionals. familiar with the use of high precision weapons and military equipment as what russia calls its special military operation near the 3 month mark . there is no indication from either side of an end to the conflict door such

a bar al jazeera moscow. now you're going to present as released security video, showing a russian missile, lighting, the house of culture and lows over city near keith. he says there was 7 victims and this includes an 11 year old child described. this strike is absolute, evil. elsewhere. russian troops have been ramping up. there is sold on the east and la hon screeching. intense fighting has been reported around the riverside cities of so that danny asked unless chance russia wants to seize the loss for a new crating hel territory and lance, a province. it claims on behalf of separatists, the regions governor says at least 13 civilians died there in russian shelling on thursday. david shopper is a senior defense for saturate the rand corporation. he joins us live now from washington. d. c. by skype rusher is effectively been in control of the port city of mary pole for a while now. but is there

a sort of deeply symbolic psychological significance to the, the siege of the steel plants and marybelle? i think that there are pizza barnes that matter in the context of a larger war and the price, but russia has had to pay you to take control of mario. bowl has been well in excess of anything that it's planners could imagined before the war started. and i go ultimate surrender of the green forest depending it was inevitable. eventually you right out of the things you need to stay alive, let alone fight effectively. but they looked at a significant loss as they slowed the russian offensive dramatically. and i think that there's, there's great symbolic value for ukrainians in go. the fight that there are forces put up in mario pole and in the still larry and paula is not far

from areas controlled by those pro russian separatists. isn't it that how would it enable the creation of a land cordele from la hands to daniel and down to crimea? just remind us of maria polls strategic importance for the russians. sure, it is certainly a gateway to that line bridge that you're referring to. it's crucial terrain that they had to control, but it, in and of itself doesn't open the door for us. there is still a real estate that russian needs to gain control in order to put in place a sufficiently secure land bridge and to secure control of the entire territory of the on the next can to hans are so called republics. what are the challenges and the physical obstacles rusher is facing in the east and dumbass region?

one of the missing pieces of that puzzle. i think there are. there are 2. primarily one is geography. there are rivers they still need to cross and the ukrainians have shown a fairly significant ability to locate and target russian attempts to do assault crossings of rivers. ah, those are very difficult military operations among the most difficult, that an army is asked under take on a routine basis and the ukrainians appear to have a good competence in making sure those river crossings are heavily contested. on the 2nd is simply though lack of men, material units on rushes already committed the bulk of its available army to the fight and ukraine. they suffered terrific losses if you believe the numbers coming out of the ukrainian defense ministry. russia has lost nearly half of the inventory of tanks that they had on active service when they started the,

the war offensive action of the kind that they are envisioning requires continued inputs of forces in order to create and maintain forward momentum on. and i think that they're going to face the challenge in feeding sufficient forces into this operation in order to bring it to up a rapid conclusion. but i suppose the way it says that you describe also kind of demonstrates russia's ability to absorb attrition in this conflict, to be able to tolerate and withstand those losses which as bats. a capability that the defending force at the crating fight has doesn't have because obviously they're much smaller. well, i think that the, the cost to russia in terms of personal material in this fight has been order magnitude greater than they ever expected it to be. and replacing these personnel

train personnel replacing this modern equipment is going to be, but it's going to take time. i'm, i'm read a report that said that russia's now spending the equivalent of $300000000.00 a week on its military, which is roughly twice what it was spending before the the war started. that is the sort of pace of investment they're going to require in order to make good these losses on the ukranian side on absolutely the losses they've suffered are affecting their, their performance. they have the advantage of the lifeline that the west has thrown them on. nobody is giving russia new tanks. nobody is giving russia new artillery pieces. nobody is giving russia more ammunition on ukraine is receiving that support from united states, from nato, from from dr. duke of sources. that gives us the ability to,

to replenish it's a it's arsenal. oh, with a little more, a little more reliability than russia currently as thank you very much for sharing your perspective in analysis. with this david shot back from the rand corporation journey statham washington. thank you very much. so families of the as all fighters have been in tacky, seeking that seeking help to ensure their safety. many say they're worried about their face of the ukrainian soldiers. some cas yoga has more on this now from istanbul, among the wise the fossil fighters and mario pole. i sat down with natalie. it's got her husband is among those ukrainian fighters who were evacuated from those so steel planned by russians. natalia and 3 of her friends have been in the turkish capital on car for the last couple of days, seeking support for the safe evacuation of their husbands and sons. let's listen to

what natalia told us about the latest on. also fighter 2 together, 3 a and a half bought we had wed in on us still planned at the distance. we married during the war. have you contacted them so far? we are in the ukrainian embassy in turkey in ankara. and my husband started to typed me and i was shocked because as there was no connection during 15 days, he said that they are moving from wal how to and as a how in each centimeter of this way, we have many, many risks. he had no chances to save his life, but the only guarantee that our men won't be killed that

the attention of the whole world is concentrated around the barriers of others to plant. is it possible for an exchange of prisoners? it will be the most appropriate scenario. how to solve these problems in russia, they are all saw. ah women, misers who are waiting for their psalms, the wise o as of fighters have mixed feelings. now they are happy that their husbands are alive, but they are so concerned for how long they will manage to stay alive and save in russian prisons. or for almost 3 months, it's been home to thousands of ukrainians, sheltering from bombs. now our caves, underground rail network is due to re open cities may i says it's safe for people

to leave, but many a saying they don't feel safe while others don't have homes to go back to our give suffered intense russian shelling after the invasion. and recently it's ukrainian forces they, they have pushed back russian troops and fighting. there is east work as at the metro station, se they'll say people will still be allowed to use the underground space as a shelter. and um, you could live without a ship. we don't have any way to return to. we don't have windows or to lose who craves glasses? no electricity, gas or even water? no, you don't even know this is a good and you'd say a lot of people came back from abroad and the metro was reopening because people need to go to work for those who don't have a place to stay. they can stay in the station. also the war is not over yet, and the situation is always changing. there are still air raid siren so people will still be able to come to the station to use it as a shelter or in the wider developments around this conflict talk he's present is saying that to a rush of type ode one is going out whole talks with his finished counterpart on

saturday, about sweden and finland bid to join nato. nordic nations formerly applied to join the military alliance. on wednesday, citing roches warren ukraine as a security threat. but president edwin reiterated that he would maintain his opposition to the applications, which must be approved by all nato members. turkeys as sweden finan support, what it describes as terror organizations. good judgments, alicia po june, will go to submit it. of course, we will continue all these discussions for the sake of not interrupting diplomacy. we are clearly saying that since we have all the information and documents related to those terror organization, and we are the victim, that we will not support a terror organization to become a nightmare member. as we are aware of nato sensitivities related to it, and we acknowledge the fact that nato is a security organizing. and in response to those applications, russia thing will stop. it's deliveries of natural gas to film from saturday. it

provides the majority of the nordic nations gas, but that's only about 5 percent of finished energy consumption. it stopped sending electricity last week. i should stay under energy gas prom, it already. holt and natural gas delivery to poland and ma guerria. after they refused to pay for it, in rubles germany assigned an energy partnership deal with cattle to reduce its dependence on russia. catherine emir shift, i mean, been hammered. fanny says his country aims to help europe secure its energy supplies. we'll start sending liquefied natural gas from 2024 dominant cain reports from balance. some months. these ministers have been trying to negotiate a deal to ship liquid natural gas from qatar to germany. on friday in berlin, they cited agreement, but on the face of it, the deal doesn't deliver entirely what either side had wanted. so where their 2 heads of government spoke later, while the words were friendly, the details was sparse,

and arched and wondering if we want to change the way we get our energy to become less dependent on russian energy imports. shake him and i are in agreement that guitar and germany will work more closely together on energy supplies in the future . conf to hang up to some of item value. but quite how closely together is less evident. what is evident is cat. our wants to supply more energy to europe. this is an investment that is very important to us and we're looking for it as well. that especially in the gas sector that to him, to explore new markets. europe as a very interesting market. and we discussed this with the chancellor as well this morning and how to develop this relationship. the german government has already started building u l. a. g terminals on its north sea coast. part of a plan to allow it relatively soon to ship in tens of billions of cubic meters of gas. be that from qatar, the u. s. australia or elsewhere. so it can start to wean itself off russian fossil

fuels. but doing that has a cost to the environment. germany was relying on pipeline guys, including from russia in order to reach its climate goals. and as you know, em, pipeline or natural gas is basically the least or has the least come footprint. the smallest come footprint are in all of a fossil fuels, so am now replacing it with an n. g will increase the footprint a little bit. there are 3 contentious elements of the potential deal. it should last for 20 years. the gas price would be linked to oil prices and germany would not be able to reroute category ellen, g to other e, you states which it does currently with russian gas middest as it berlin. do not really like any of those conditions. and there are other conditions in doha,

which some here criticize lucidly. the human rights situation with the football world cup in cats are looming. the amier says, all cultures are welcome in his country, but he was all who visit his country to respect category culture. thought again, al jazeera berlin, who attorneys our life from london. marcella had on the program a baby in this flooded a sam state. why even pregnant women are waiting days to be rescued. australia prepared to vote in a close election which could see the labor party and a decade of conservative rule. and later in sport, novak joke of h looks to make up for lost time. at the french open ah, through our state department is reiterated. it's cool for a thorough and transparent investigation into the killing of an al jazeera

modern technology for vehicles to artificial intelligence, but a global chip shortage. since the pandemic has affected the availability of many of these products, 3 quarters of global chip production comes from asia. the buy to let ministration 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 our values like republican 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, 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 president biden's visit is an opportunity to strengthen existing ties into a more comprehensive partnership. in my meridian,

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 traced on advanced technology and supply chain cooperation. president biden's visit comes a week after he hosted southeast asian leaders at a 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 precedents were hold a summit, but they're expected to discuss regional security including the d new career ation of the korean peninsula. florence louis al jazeera sol are marked fitzpatrick, his director of the nonproliferation program at the international institute for strategic studies. he joins us now from washington, d. c. and we are referring to it as president biden's trip to asia. is this really about china? well, thanks marion. for having me, much of this is about china,

but there are plenty of other issues on president biden's agenda. north korea certainly ranks very high. and that's one reason that south korea is the 1st stop on this trip. certainly they will also be discussing ukraine and then when they get to tokyo and meet also with the leaders of india and australia, by and will seek to reinforce or strengthen quite so quite that for democracies of the region and no curries already conducted to into content ballistic missile tests earlier in the air. is he preparing for something else with president by being in the region? you know, oftentimes north korea does something provocative, testing a missile, testing a nuclear weapon. that seems to be time with some something on the u. s. calendar, a 4th of july missile test for example. and you know, there's,

there's reason to think that kim, john may wish to give president by and that kind of a welcoming gift. so to speak of something. but north korea has its own time table for when it tests these devices, it has to test nuclear weapons in order to perfect them. and the timing may be affected by it, but i think they have their own time table. actually. how has the war in ukraine and the alignment between russia and china affected the rivalry between aging and washington? well, it certainly hasn't helped him at all. and there's been, there's enough tension in the relationship between the united states and china. they didn't need something else to add to it the ukraine crisis, and the way that china has cast, and it's not with russia, has exacerbated tensions. but i wouldn't over exaggerate that because china, apart from giving it to vocal support to russia,

hasn't really done that much to support russia hasn't sent equipment. it hasn't taken on a great deal over russia's export of oil. and in other ways, material helped russia. it's mostly rhetorical supports out my rushes performance in this war, and the sort of very, very limited gains affect beijing's calculations about the relationship and the extent to which they are prepared to support president putin. why think, you know, that china is seemed to have gained by this debacle of russia's failed military excursion into ukraine? i mean, it sees land, but it's, it's been a failure. and so in a relationship between major powers like this 11 power seem to have failed and have a much weaker military than we are. 5, china's power balance rises accordingly. but i don't think this means that

china overall is better off, i think in a way it's worse off because it's cast its lot with, with a pariah in the international system. china's world status doesn't increase at all from that. and i don't think there's any way that china's power increases it's kind of has to, you know, help up a crippled ally and, and waste its own resources for that mission. thank you very much. mark fitzpatrick, joining us from the w. w in washington. thank you. happy speak with al jazeera so there must arthur says that you will work to forge closer ties with china. after being sworn in as ease team was president, the independent figure and nobel laureate, has previously served as president prime minister and foreign minister. integration ceremony on friday came as the country marked 20 years of independence from

a climate change, the cost of living funding for aged care and national security. these are all issues that astrology a has the opportunity to go forwarding and create a better future if we say opportunity. i believe a strategy is the greatest country on earth. the biggest challenge for the morrison government is the rise of female independence. there are 22 high profile candidates known as the tales, a mix of political movements seen as blue and green. they funded by climate group and targeting safe seats held by the liberal party amended, i think they'll be very high if he gets a higher level of disillusionment with major party politics in this country. people are. busy frustrated with one or other party, various reasons. and these just become this dynamic that we want. individuals who represent our local communities, nearly 6000000 voters of electorate of 17000000, have already cast their ballots through postal or early in person voting. i'm very

disappointed how close it is, and that it seems as a lot of similarities between 80 major parties. and i find that quite frustrating. that is how much on offered or gone are the days where we had stipend. quite frankly, we just got a big room bunch of children in politics. if there is no clear majority on saturday after ballots, i counted the outcome of this election will be a hung parliament. that will mean either labor or the coalition must make an agreement with the minor parties or independence in order to govern. analysts say that prospect is highly likely. i'd be surprised if on saturday not we know a clear winner from all the major parties. i think we'll be looking for a health the civil dissolved. what's the poles in australia? open on saturday. sarah clark al jazeera sydney, australia al series. defense ministry says that and israeli raid on south and
