ah ah ah, this is the w news live from berlin tonight, a broader war in ukraine. a russian commander says pollutants ambitions extend from the east all the way to the southwest, but ukrainian resistance is not going away in the city of mario po, ukrainian troops are still holding out, refusing to surrender. also coming up tonight, ukraine's weapons on the air waves. hackers have intercepted russian communications revealing shocking details of the war's brutality. and these are the final hours of

campaigning ahead of france is presidential election. he company emanuel macaroni and his opponent a re le pen are focusing on undecided voters polled so they may decide who wins in sunday's vote. ah, i break off is good to have you with us. we begin with what appears to be a widening war in ukraine today. a senior russian military commander said that vladimir puts his ambitions in ukraine, include seizing control of territory in the east and all the way across the south of the country. it's unclear if this is now official kremlin policy. if it is, it would add a completely new dimension to the conflict which so far has brought heavy losses and few gains for russia. some of the strongest ukrainian resistance is that the as

of style steel plant in the port city of moria pole, a group of ukrainian soldiers, their resisting russian troops refusing to surrender. here's a look now at the vast industrial complex that has become a symbol of ukrainian defiance. 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 that could hold the remains of thousands of people. while civilians are stuck here, the remaining fighters are defiant, hold up underground in a network of tunnels. yet little this is one of the i say that while we are here, mary paul remains under the control of ukraine. he, 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. you as president joe biden said, mary, a pull was still in ukrainian hands and urged russia to open humanitarian corridors to let more civilians leave her. we know about her evacuees who made it to the city and sat parisha struggled to describe the devastation of their home city. them threatening 40 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 your world doesn't take measures, supervisor will be the same to what he did. they put it on my head. i live, we left yesterday there was a whole left instead of a 9 floor building and maybe he, 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 can still hold out. it is to be question tonight, this good to keep where did abuse, but he is willinger standing by forest mathias. what do we know about the ukranian troops and the civilians inside that steel plant? in mario poll? i mean they are refusing to surrender, but their options are running out, aren't they? yeah, their options are probably running out of cars. nobody knows how big the supplies are. the food supplies that they have. and this, this, these bunkers underneath the steelworks, they were built off to the wall after would, would chew. and they were designed for people to stay in there, to stalk up there on, on, on food there, and to stay there for

a long time. but as the city has been starved and as all these soviet bunkers have not been maintained, the way they were designed designed, the question is, how long? of course they can stay there. they remain defiant, but it's of course, a matter of time until they run out of ammunition and other supplies. and what about these reports by d as of mass graves being found near marble? let something to expect. the mayor of mar, you, po, estimates the number of dead have at least 20000 people and they are most probably have been buried somewhere quickly. no city has the capacity to store 20000 troops in morgues, for example, um into something we have been seeing in many of the places that were occupied, where many people have been killed that, that these mass graves, of course,

were there and the place in the city, satellite images, show ukrainian intelligence at least says it's one of the places where the russians have brought bodies before. so it's highly probable that is that something like this will be found there. and my t, as you know, we've almost become used to it. it's happened so much now are there the air? so i read in the background. there were you are there in heave. we reported so much this week on the fighting, being in the east of the country, but the siren there tells us that the threat remains in the capital doesn't yes, we have an iron's here from time to time. um. this means that something is in the air, of course, that's why it's called an air siren, but we don't know what and where, but something seems to be flying in either our direction. it could be key of could be the a, the goal could be also some,

some city in the same direction, of course as strikes, especially with rockets have been common throughout the time. and we've, we've seen them in west, in ukraine and century ukraine. and also they have not stopped here, and we know that there have been more negotiations between the russian and the ukrainian insides. and has there been any progress report these negotiations at this moment are on the working level, they're about humanitarian corridors. these corridors are sometimes agreed upon, sometimes they work, sometimes they don't, but we shouldn't. we are not talking now about peace negotiations about a ceasefire. negotiations about any way out of the conflict. for this, i think that them distrust between the 2 sides and also the goals of the 2 sides

are very far apart. ukraine is convinced that the goal of russia is to exterminate ukraine as a nation and a large part of its population and, and it wants to defend its territorial integrity and sovereignty. whereas russia has, of course, are given signs that it does not accept ukraine as a sovereign nation. so i think there's, it's very hard to find a compromise here. it'll be as much he is billing with the latest to night from keith matthews. thank you. the united nation says almost 8000000 people are now internally displaced in you. create a groups are trying to help those who fled their homes, as well as those who are still stuck in cities under bombardment. people face a daily struggle in places such as ukraine's 2nd largest city. her keith, it's been the target of intense shelley. now for weeks. their homes are unlivable.

after weeks of bombardment, now the people of ha keep survived by collecting rain water and cooking on fires. fueled by debris or last thing, we don't have electricity, water, any communication at all, including gas, sr garza. both of us. you can't really cook here because the would not be worth gold soon. it's hard to get it. if a garage is hit, you go and pick a panels. where else can we get it over a tree? a said we'll pull it and cut it. there is no other action. with bombs still flying above many are now living below in hockey, metro stations. some have been camped here for weeks once and we brought several blankets mad as came here and now live next to the ticket machines. now i believe that must the best decision. they paced the platforms to stay active. doctors tried

to help the many elderly with medical conditions, parents distract their children from the realities of war. for many finding food has become a daily challenge. these hockey residency gather what vegetables and can goods they can find to cook bosch sharing what little they have in clamor talked me the front line. public transport still operates, but medicine is running out. walker, it's bad that there are no drugs in the pharmacies and that only a few pharmacies are still open to cover it. more pharmacies were open. there will be better. millions of ukrainians have fled to cities further west living and cramped shelters. like this one. in ne pro, remembering the comforts they used to have such good own as will. i had a small piece of land and lee planted everything, their tomatoes, cucumber,

and greenery or brittany. there was a flower bed in front of our house. the valenzuela digney now many rely only on donations aid groups worn. the humanitarian situation is worsening. as the tide of internally displaced ukrainians grows for every person they help more are waiting. christopher stokes is an emergency coordinator for doctors without borders in ukraine. he told us what the main challenges are for ukrainians who have fled their homes, but not the country. well, one of the issues the until the display stabilization right now is the lack of access to cache basically. so you have a lot of people who are on the move, move from the east to the west and using the savings and they are running out of money. and the situation is becoming a carrier. so that's one problem. the 2nd problem is just move, getting people out from the zone. so we've been focusing on medical evacuations,

getting people out from don't that's them against of last from the hospitals because they're so me. and they, and the pregnancy finding it very difficult to move the wounded out quickly enough to say yes. that was christopher stokes. there with the doctors without borders. here's a look now at other developments related to this war, 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 boucher following the withdrawal of russian units from the year. president modem is zalinski says that russia wants to hold an illegitimate referendum on independence in the south of ukraine. he's told residence in the occupied regions of his song and separate sia not to give their personal information to russian forces. the vote is seen as an attempt by moscow to legitimize its occupation crane. the leaders of britain in

india have called for an immediate cease fire in ukraine prime ministers, boris johnson, endurance ramadi, made the appeal after talks and deli, today, 2 leaders assigned a new defense agreement to reduce india's reliance on russian weapons. tanks and artillery are not the only weapons ukraine is using to fight the russian invasion. the war is also happening over the airways, 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 cra. this man known as viking, is one of ukraine's most experienced amateur radio operators is also a member of radio resistance, a group that interferes with the russian military's radio transmission. fighting in the war of radio ways of the one and the more mature radios actually forbidden and

war time. but our intelligence services quickly realized that radio resistance can help in this war liking shows us how members of the group searched through long and short waves to the conversation channels that russian soldiers used to communicate the coding, intercepting and jamming them is the goal. yeah, he's an example dr. has no kerio since he's coordinate according to ukraine security service. this conversation took place when a russian soldier and his wife. he also mentioned to rape ukrainian, william mother. do you allow me to show? yes, i allow it. she says to call attention and will it be that we haven't even identified the 2 of them little board. so if we know the name, the social media profiles per month, so we know everything about that. i can move that because even the date they moved

to crimea from russia seems to me after ukrainians like viking of fighting tooth and nail to defend their country. his comrade, known by his code name, has risen to coat status. he takes radio jamming a step tra, directly to russian. soldiers is often insulting them is on 5951 to 5 ladies this russian soldier gems the call, stuck in reinforcements from coming and then send the international i yeah. now you see ukrainian intelligence work is serious business. he said, love and respect her enemy. i got at the end of the battle, the mendez a radio resistance into here with the signal so that the ukrainian pace advance appears on the screen. this is what the war of radio a's looks like.

fish are here, some of the other stories now that are making headlines around the world. the taliban say that a bomb explosion that a mosque in the northern african city of condos has killed at least 33 people, dozens more were injured. it follows an explosion in nearby marcia al sharif on thursday, which so called islamic state took responsibility for climate scientists. say that europe saw its hottest summer on record in 2021. temperatures were one degrees celsius, above the 3 decade average of that they say could exacerbate extreme climate events such as deadly heat waves and the wildfires that have ravaged many parts of the continent. french prosecutors have issued an international arrest warrant for carlos go do. formerly ran renaud and nissan. goen is accused of funneling millions of dollars of re no funds through a car distributor in oman. but for his personal use, including for the purchase of

a $120.00 foot yacht fridge, president, emanuel micron and his far white challenger marie le pen are making a final push for votes before sundays president will run off. polls show the race is much tighter than 5 years ago when french voters faced the same choice. the micron is expected to when many people say they are undecided or ambivalent. the candidates are taking nothing for grant. 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. layla hose, both the incumbent president, he and his far right opposition. marine la pen fair 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 vying for votes from

supporters of far left candidate shall new melon, sean, who went 20 percent in the 1st round on the streets of paris. neither le, pen nor micron are popular with this key group of voters that we haven't had a choice in the 2nd rounds ages. i'll give the least worse choice. i went voting for the right or the extreme right. it's become a campaign of style over substance micron attempting to shake off a reputation of arrogance and connect with work and class moses la penn, trying to betray herself as a serious states woman in a tv debate early this week, let me micron attacked le pen stance on russia, huh? she refuted the accusation. instead, trying to focus on the cost of living, homo ask of who did bond 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 left south chick fish and bank objected a court martial i read on all the sanctions that was taken against the oligarchs against the bang us lesson. the only sanction that i disagree with is the one blocking russian camp 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 along which she micron is expected to keep the keys to the elisa palace. i even though it was a to fight the many expected level, but with millions undecided and unhappy with both candidates. there is no clear winner in sundays, deciding round of micron versus le pen. all right, for more now on sundays, elation was bringing our peers correspondence. sonya fell in the car,

so it's good to see you. so who are these millions of undecided voters? who are they likely to vote for? well, that is really the big question. what i, what i think is really striking this time is that both the candidates macro and le pen seemed to be provoking some very strong reactions from voters in on the pen, of course has torn down her far right parties. radicalism, she's trying to portray herself as this champion of the working class, but not everybody is buying it. i think many, many french people think that she means family far right in her policies and a platform and a threat to democracy. and with macro, you know, he was elected 5 years ago as this fresh face political disruptor. there was a lot of hope at the time. 5 years on the top is gone, he has his fair share of detractors, who dubbed him the president of the rich. they say his policies of favor, the rich at the expense of the poor, they find him arrogant, out of touch with ordinary voters. so i think this time a co voters have

a really difficult choice. it neither micron nor le pen. this is a slogan we're hearing a lot. you're in france in recent is and i think that to shows you how divided this country is. and i'm wondering if mac ron does when will it be because people are voting for him or because people voted against the far rides. marine le pen. when macro has gotten the support of the mean stream a left and the right. but i think what is crucial, others voters on, you know, on the far left that about 7000000 of them who voted for hard left candidate. john mcmillan shaw in the 1st round and much will depend on, you know, whether they abstain whether they would for macro, you know, in, in france, in the past, in past elections. we've had this phenomenon of french voters, you know, putting aside the political differences and really clubbing together and voting to, to make sure that no far right a candidate makes it into the government. this is a phenomenon called republican front in this election that is no longer

a so clearly and i think much depends whether those the waters and the far left grid, their teeth and, and what from across to keep on the far right. or whether the upstate in whatever happens, i mean le pen is expected to get a high share of the boat. it is extremely unusual for a far white leader to be so popular in a western european country at this level. when we're talking about voting. why does she have so much support when i think le pen has run of really slick grassroots campaign, you know, she's traveled across the country. she's met, walk in closet, look at waters on the right and the left to been struggling with high energy and, and food prices. she's promised to kind of put more money in their pockets cap prices. and i think beyond that she's really managed to torn down her parties, radicalism and nationalist rhetoric. she's all time to go on some something of a person and make over presenting herself as a soft, moderate candidate. and i think that has resonated myth with many waters. and i think this time around also i think there is,

there is no stigma associated with wanting for the far right to their views have become far more normal that they used to be d, w. so you found a car reporting tonight from paris just days before that presidential run off vote . sonya thank you. no end yet to the lockdown authorities in shanghai or telling residents that they are extending the corona virus lockdown until the virus has been wiped out. 3 weeks on the harsh measures have deeply frustrated. many people there, as they wonder when it will el end. now it has also had a massive impact on global supply chains. the area around shanghai produces goods for the rest of the world. business closures and work restrictions are putting a dent in how much supply can meet demand. hamburg is a key destination for products ship from shanghai and other ports. now, many shipments are delayed for weeks bent. miller has noticed the difference. he's

director of purchasing for the wholesale are right, hara maxima, shaun. could you take a look at our main problem today? our current shipment of 12 containers was supposed to be loaded yesterday in on the ship has departed from shanghai, but will make a stop along the way. was fo which mooney so that wasn't originally planned, but now days we have to live with everything and be grateful. it's on the way here . the shipment is bound for the storage facility every day. there are millions of screws arriving bent matter and managing director and pick up inspect the goods came from china. yes, they're from china, but didn't arrive on time, so we'll have to deliver them by air. now. the only one is of course, it's much more expensive, but at least they'll get there on time. delivery by ship currently takes 8 to 10 weeks and by air. the goods arrived within a week, but at much higher costs time, despite the current disruptions, customers should receive their orders on time. they don't even binder or sometimes

a lot of production orders behind the small screws. the customers have large machinery that may be waiting for the final screws. when there's less time pressure, the company can turn to other chinese ports or order from other producers, including in europe. the warehouse has to be well stocked. yes, speak. we talk a lot to our suppliers, they try to improvise somehow such as using other ports. so we don't turn to other suppliers instead of shanghai, they might use ning bow, which is situated further to the south. mean boy exemplars go by them soon, lead the screws or then transported to a different port by ship or truck. if the screws are unavailable, the company has to turn to plan b is icons. i like to say the screws so diverse. if a 40 millimeter one is not available, we sometimes use the 45, maybe the articles still on stock and all naga, their suppliers, factories and china are still operating. but only to

a limited extent was does. he didn't go in. there are various reasons. people who have cove it or at home by that he some employees are not returning because they can't get to their work places on, on the feeds who come the company has gotten used to improvising. but another large chinese city going into locked down could trigger more disruptions, and it's all just part of global commerce. during a global pandemic. you want, you need to be news live from berlin. here's a reminder of our top story. ukrainian president vladimir zalinski says that fighters in the besieged fort city of mario pope will continue to resist despite moscow's claims that it is completely under brushing control. pasco says it will provide a humanitarian cease fire at mario pals as of start steel plant if keeps soldiers to rent of next eco africa, including a report on kenya's, declining dolphin population. i'll be back at the top of the hour with more world news followed by the day to see them.
