2:08 pm
industrial area, making a last stand against russian forces who had captured the rest of mario pl. much of a sudden port city is in ruins. let's go lived out of moscow to serious dosage vari is the door. so what's the latest on the face of those who surrendered a better as of saw seal plant? well, there are conflicting reports from various officials. here we've been hearing from the leader of the don't yet people's republic than he's michelin, who said earlier on monday that as there are efforts i within the republic of done yet to set up an international tribunal where fighters will be put on trial. now we've also been hearing from the one of the deputy foreign ministers here in moscow, who said earlier on monday that there are discussions on going between ukrainian officials and russian officials about a possible prisoner exchange for the time being. it's not clear what will happen to
2:09 pm
the people that are now in russian custody. there were 2478 people who were evacuated from that steel plant which was completed on friday at what is not clear the moment is how many of the that number are actually as of battalion members, what we do know is there have been calls from various lawmakers here in the capital that those members of the as of battalion should not be part of any prisoner exchange. and that there is a desire to set up a tribunal to put them on trial for a legit more crimes. but it's not clear whether not that will take place, but, and what we do know is that for the time being, the exchange that took place was in coordination with the united nations, as well as the international committee of the red. so what happens next remains to be seen by there are certainly different opinions about what should take place and for the time being they're still being held in the russian separatist controlled areas of done yet. and,
2:10 pm
and that is where we've heard from the leader about what they would like to see happen. whether or not they officials here in the kremlin will agree remains to be seen and where the things stand dorsen with negotiations between russia under chron . well, those negotiations began only a few days after russia launched it so called special military operation on february 24th. there were an negotiators from moscow meeting with officials from kiev on february 28th. those negotiations were ongoing in an effort to try and bring an end to this conflict. for the 1st time, those efforts have stopped as of about 10 days ago, according to the russian president vladimir putin, who is certainly putting all the blame on the officials from kiev, saying that they are not serious about this negotiation process. what we do understand from the kremlin today is that they are waiting for officials from kia to respond to
2:11 pm
a document that they handed to them at the end of april. they still haven't heard anything. there's certainly a sense here that the negotiations have reached the stalemate. whether or not they'll be able to continue remains to be seen. certainly we're now reaching a 90 day mark since this conflict began, and i think it's certainly important that very negotiations resume. we also heard from where the russian deputy foreign minister, who said that the authorities here are willing to resume talks as soon as key of shows the initiative that they are willing to come back to the negotiating table. but certainly a lot remains add it to be seen because there is, it's certainly the issue of crimea, which russia annexed in 2014. and now the issue of dumbass is certainly at the top of the agenda in this negotiation process. and whether or not they'll be able to reach any kind of an agreements is highly unlikely at this stage. but at the russians, certainly saying that they're willing to go back to the negotiating table and continue the process. i'll just restore such a breather,

live in moscow door so many french china has warned the u. s. president not to underestimate beijing's resolve over taiwan. joe biden said that he'd intervene militarily to defend the island from any invasion. he spoke in tokyo on an asia trip, but he hopes will form up relations with allies. father noticed there is robert bride reports. president joe biden came to japan to bolster one of the u. s. is most important alliances in the asia pacific at a time of multiple challenges across the region. but he may have worse and one of those regional flash points with less than tactful answers at the main use conference as he's done in the past. it came in response to a question about whether the us would respond militarily to a chinese invasion, to take the island of taiwan. that bay ging regards as a break away territory. are you willing to get involved militarily to defend taiwan if it comes to that? yes, you are. as a commitment,

2:14 pm
it's also troubled by the increasing assertiveness of china with ongoing territorial disputes in the east china sea. yardi title touched it as a major power. china had significant responsibilities, also in the economic field to live up to that responsibility. i think it is important for japan to work with united states to encourage china to fulfill its responsibilities in accordance with international rules. i think such attitudes are important. biden has also used the trip to launch the indo pacific economic framework. an initiative aimed at safeguarding and developing production of critical commodities like advanced semiconductors and setting universal standards for labor and environmental protection. it's very, very clear that from america's perspective, china is now the biggest competitor on all fronts. and as a result of that, what america is doing now is building alliances across the world. this visit will

2:27 pm
helps identify people who have the infection. they can be isolated, so they know to withdraw the people. and we can find a context as well before they have a chance to become infectious. from a public health point of view, it's easier to contain. and from an individual point of view, you don't have to worry as much about passing the virus on to others. if you have it, you will know it's important. people get treatment early and that will help public health authorities manage their virus in the community as well. well, the smallpox vaccine actually does work against this 3rd or older people who've had a smoke faxing earlier in life. or has been exposure areas, whole these other viruses now who are a small talk faxing will have protection. some people might have natural immunity if they have been in areas endemic. that's the risk outside africa though, because people are less likely to have those things in particular. younger adults won't have the protection of soc faxes. we stopped administering those many decades
