starts may 3rd oh d w ah, ah, ah, ah, this is usually news life from berlin. a russian general says full control is what his forces are after in eastern and southern ukraine. and that would mean moscow has explicit interest to exert its influence over that region. ukrainian troops in the city of my home, meanwhile, are still holding out against russian forces and remain an obstacle to those plants . also coming up, packing military communications, intercepts of russian radio traffic in ukraine reveal moscow's tactics and is down

to the wire on the final day of campaigning in france's presidential election and conference in monday and my call and his opponent melinda, r. showering attention on undecided voters ahead of sundays run up hopes. ah. hello everyone, i'm layla rock. thank you very much for joining us. as senior russian military commander says moscow once complete control of eastern and southern ukraine is unclear if this reflects official criminal policy. if it does, it would mean a new goal for its war, which has so far resulted in heavy losses. but few major gains from russian forces . one place, holding out from russian occupation, is the as a star steel plant in the port city of mario bowl. and i know number of ukrainian

jurors are resisting russian troops. there is a look at the vast industrial complex that has become a symbol of ukrainian resistance. a steel plant from a dystopian nightmare smoke and fire. as far as the i can see. outside the city, satellite photos show would appear to be mass graves. they could hold the remains of thousands of people. while civilians are stuck here, the remaining fighters are defiant, hold up underground and a network of tunnels. yeah. little this is what am if i say that while we are here, mary or paul remains under the control of ukraine here. mary paul was and always will stay ukrainian, no matter what they say. russia claims to have liberated the city. they bombed for weeks with impunity and says they'll keep those in the steel plant trapped there will never succeed. u. s. president joe biden said mary,

a pull was still in ukrainian hands and urged russia to open humanitarian corridors to let more civilians leisure. we know bombard, evacuees who made it to the city of separation, struggled to describe the devastation of their home city with them threatening authority or some hell is what's happening there. it's not possible them could just re tell you, would you russians are killing people for nothing. if the world doesn't take measures, supervisor will be the same to what he or did. they put it on my her we left yesterday there was a whole left instead of a 9 floor building or even the, for all the doorways are destroyed completely. all the windows are shattered. when maria martin, in our backyard, we have a little cemetery. we buried 7 people there. for those stuck in the

city supplies are reportedly running low. it's no telling how long they're gonna still hold out. earlier did of your correspondence in many ways shes give me this update on the situation in multiple there man ran out of option layla, but surrender ease, certainly not an option for ukraine ukrainian of forces. this has been said again and again, there are, there are indeed other style a steel plants and they do not plan to lay down the arms or despite repeated renewed cause of from the russian forces to do to do so. i was reading earlier today, or the testimony of one of their cell is a trap to in my you pause to plan and he was talking about the told that these seas is taking on people who are still inside for security reasons. he's not there. he will, he wouldn't mention how many sold these are here,

but he talked about 500 people injured with no access to medicine or to clean awards, or people is so injured in very poor shape, women, children, elderly people stack. there was no option to leave the plant with russia only allowing our people to come out of marbles sealed, plans, effect sold is laid on the arms. this is absolutely not planned on the ukrainian side. and despite russia's claim to victory over mar, you, paul, even washington. and we said it's, we're seeing it in the reports, denies those reports saying that there was very much an active resistance and inactive resistance, ukrainian resistance in the city of mario paul. and then the am i, there are those with her reports of mass graves near him? are you fall? exactly, it does, sir. as satellite imagery is showing what appears to be a mass graves. and there are these just highlights just how important does evidence

that we see right now emerging ease to assess whether or not or russia has been committed, war crimes against their de ukrainian population. there's also very worrying reports on a russia are making use of a mobile crematorium. a 2 apparently are burned bodies dare. so you raised the evidence of a mass crimes against the population, which again highlight the importance of documenting what's happening there. it's very difficult with a no a journalist on the ground, the more you pull to a test or the presence of does more bar crematorium or does mass graves. but that shows why also a foreign powers, such as france, such as, as spain, are sending a forensics or, or forensic investigators here in ukraine to document crimes that are happening to document what is happening right now in his and ukraine. and in a few words,

sir emma, any news on no possible evacuation corridors out of medical there hasn't been any evacuation possible to day. some people are managed to get out some buses or collected some people yesterday out of them or you pulled. but russia only allows an evacuation a corridor etha sold is laid on their arms. and like we said earlier, this is not about this is not going to happen here in ukraine and machine reporting from western ukraine live. thank you so much for your continued coverage. thank you, want to say now, but the other developments related to the war and ukraine. investigators from the united nations, have documented the killing of nearly 50 civilians in the town of boucher, near keith. they say russian troops executed some of the victims, ukrainian forces discovered mass graves in gotcha following the withdrawal of

russian units from the area which president milan re, zalinski says russia wants to hold an illegitimate referendum on independence in the south of ukraine. he told red residence in the occupied regions of her son, an upper region not to give their personal information to russian forces. the vote is seen as an attempt by moscow to legitimize its occupation. tanks and artillery are not the only weapons ukraine is using to fight the russian invasion. the war is also happening over the airwaves. ukrainian radio operators among them amateurs who prefer to keep their identities hidden work to intercept russian communications. some of the messages appeared to support ukraine's allegations of russian war crimes. this man known as viking, is one of ukraine's most experienced amateur radio operators. he's also a member of radio resistance, a group that interferes with the russian military's radio transmissions. they're

fighting in the war of radio waves. oh, could see the one on the mall, obamacare radios actually forbidden in war time. but our intelligence services quickly realized that radio resistance can help in this war liking shows us how members of the groups searched through long and short waves for the conversation channels that russian soldiers used to communicate, decoding, intercepting, and jamming them is the goal. i mean, he is an example as either of a russian and personnel carrier, since he's coordinates, a co to ukraine's security service. this conversation took place between a russian soldier and his wife. he asked her permission to rape ukrainian with another. do you allow me to? yeah, this is shawn. yes, i allow it. she says according to this protection on the bullet gene, we haven't even identified the 2 of them,

both little boards that we know their names are, their social media profiles and formats the us to. so we know everything about that and you can leverage because even the date they moved to crimea from russia, let's say much to martha shameka ukrainians like viking of fighting tooth and nail to defend their country. his comrade, known by his code name, routing, has risen to cult status. he takes radio jamming a step further speaking directly to russian soldiers, often insulting them. oh, this is vance. i learned, i learned a science radios, this russian soldier rich jams to call stopping reinforcements from coming and then send this to us. all right, now you see ukrainian intelligence work is serious business. you should love and respect her enemy over. at the end of the battle,

the members of radio resistance interfere with the signal so that the ukrainian coat of arms appears on the screen. this is what the war of radio waves looks like . when as i know about the stories making news around the world, a bombing at a mask in the northern afghan city of conduce, has killed at least 33 people according to the tall one. dozens more were injured and follows an explosion, a nearby muzzle sharif on thursday, which so called islamic state took responsibility for at least 11 people were killed in that last portuguese prosecutor, c. a man in germany is now an official suspect in the disappearance of british toddler madeline mccann. the prosecutors did not name the man publicly, and he has not been officially charged. the 3 year old girl went missing in portugal back in 2007 triggering an international manhunt. french prosecutors have issued an international arrest warrant for carlos gone,

who formerly ren renault. and nissan gone is accused of funneling millions of dollars of or no funds through a current distributor in oman for his personal use, including for the purchase of a $120.00 foot yacht french president avenue. and michael and his far right challenger, mainly been, are making a final push for votes before sundays. presidential run off whole show the race is much tighter than 5 years ago. on french voters faced the exact same choice. though my car is expected to win. many people say they're undecided or ambivalent. the candidates are taking nothing for granted. his campaign slogan might be all of us, but it's not clear enough. a france will be with emanuel micron at the ballot box on sunday night, both the incumbent president, he and his far right opposition. marilla panther had been making

a final push for votes entering the t. v stations on friday morning. them but they're not speaking to their cold demographic. instead, mine for votes from supporters of fall left candidate shall new melon, sean, who when 20 percent in the 1st round on the streets of paris. neither la, penn nor mac, ron, are popular with this key group of voters that we haven't had a choice and 2nd rounds ages. i'll give the least worse choice. i went voting for the right or the extreme right? so it's become a campaign of style over substance micron attempting to shake off a reputation of arrogance and connect with worked and clusmo says le pen trying to betray herself as a serious states woman in a tv debate. earlier this week, to me, macros attacked le pen stance on russia. huh?

she refuted the accusation. instead, trying to focus on the cost of living as good who did on did you depend on russian power? you depend on mister putin as a few months after saying that madame le pen, that you took out a loan from a russian bank in 2015 for the 1st check russian bank. that self tick wish and bank objected that got more sure. i read on all the sanctions that was taken against the oligarchs against the bang us less. so the only sanction that i disagree with is the one blocking russian gas is a coil in port zuka. why? because i think that's not the right method. this is not what will actually hurt russia mix and above all, it will hurt the french people alarm she. micron is expected to keep the keys to the elisa palace. and even though it was a tough fight, the many expected lumber boats with millions undecided and unhappy with both candidates. there is no clear wind in sundays deciding round of
