afghanistan to cover up with a full body board cup. one activist tells us life under the is the mrs. is like being in person. ah, i'm hello mohammad. welcome to the program. ukraine is reporting new russian as strikes and their one up to mondays victory day parade in moscow. the perceived still talked in mario pole has again come on to fire. but ukraine says, all women, children, and elderly, who are trapped in the complex, have now been evacuated. 3 people have been killed in a missile strike in easton crane. you credit officials fear moscow as stepping up is offensive to make symbolic gains before the anniversary of the victory over nazi germany in world war 2. what is happening is spending for sharice following

developments for us from the ukranian capital keith. and i asked her about the reports around those evacuation. ah, that these civilians have been hunkering down there for weeks civilians, children, women, elderly can suit the brief a sigh of relief. however, this is only just one part of the ordeal that's now over. they have not made it yet to reception centers. we do not know whether they're going to make it safe and sound to eat as upper e job. she's in the northern part in the ukrainian controlled parts of this country, whether they actually their fate is going to be in russia. controlled parts of this country are namely that on bus region, the i separatist controlled rush and back to our region of ukraine. as a result, yes for them leaving the as of sealed plans to day is, is, is, is a very important step on their way to a gaining freedom and safety about this operation is

a very difficult operation. as we have seen without a civilians in evacuees leaving early this week as the assault on the mar, your pull continuous amid trying to get people out there and all seat on the underlines. of course, if the civilians have made it, at least from the vicinity of this plant, who is still in the soldiers who are still hold up there. and as a result, it can be expected that the assault on my report, and especially that steel plant is going to be increased is actually russia can complete these to say so declare that mary paul is under their control, including the us off steel plant. now just remind us why the city of mario pole is important for russia. it's a photo city on the as of sea, but this is not the only town. in fact, every puerto towel, namely, odessa or stone. for example, on the, on the black sea, all of these porto towns we can imagine sort of like the economic vein of ukraine.

this is what 75 percent of all imports and exports are being handled in ukraine. so if you control these port hotels, you control basically the black sea, you do control a parts of the black sea parts of their as of sea, which is very, very important for russia to actually increase their advance and their control over ukraine. as a result, not only no, but actually already in 2014, there was heavy fighting mario poll, even though back then ukraine could defend a town. will they dis time? if you do not know. and with the reports that the russian military is stepping up, attacks ahead of the main 90 fixture parade. what's the situation like in kiff here, the situation key is not as critical as it used to be a building up 2 volts are leading up towards that. the victory day may 9th. also here you can certainly feel tense atmosphere. in fact, people who are looking forward to may nice in the past before the school has started. just simply want to get over with these remembrance days,

even though they're quite important. of course for ukrainians because just like russians in the past been celebrating their victories over then not to germany and end of world war 2. however, within the context right now, the current ongoing val, he and ukraine, obviously people all bracing for an increase of assault. in fact, already presidents and in ski said when you hear here does air raid sirens. also hearing keith, we hear them quite frequently. now again, you should take them seriously and really look for the nearby shelter. do not ignore them. as a result, the people here in key f, i really in this, in between what is going to happen in ex, following days, hoping things are going to stay calm. bought, given all the shouting all the attacks in other parts of ukraine. it is unfortunately this warning that he's being maintained also by the government here that a lot of attacks, little bombings are expected in various bots if you crane. and unfortunately, the likelihood that stress strikes are going to also hit key f r a possible. all

right? funding for sharing key if thank you so much. well, let's look at the other developments in the conflict. brushes, military is rehearsing fault the victory day parade. the holiday marks the defeat of nazi germany in world war 2. present letting of hootin is expected to use the occasion to put a positive spin on the war. ukraine. ukraine's military has released footage showing a drone strike on a russian landing vessel in the black sea. the video also includes an attack on a building that ukraine says was used for storing missiles a defining moment for northern ireland. those of the words of tion. fain lita michelle o'neill describing her party's historic election with the irish nationalist party whose mission is to unite ireland has gained the biggest share of votes in the bushes province for the 1st time. o'neill will now try to form the next government. she says it's time for a healthy debate about a united ireland. well,

ireland was divided a century ago, author its war of independence against britain. and what's now the republic emerged as a separate nation. but northern ireland remained part of the united kingdom because it's protestant majority wanted to stay. british roman catholics never accepted his petition. tensions between the 2 communities turned violent in the 900 sixty's only ending in 1998 with the good friday agreement. but briggs, it has now sparked new tensions. northern islands left the e. u with the rest of the u. k. while the republic of ireland remains a member let us get more in this with d. w. 's charlotte chelsea pill in london. so charlotte sion fain was for cost to do quite well in these elections. how significance is there? when absolutely this was the cost in the poles for some time. nevertheless,

it really must be stressed that this is a watershed moment in politics. the northern ireland, you said yourself, this is the 1st time that sion fain a nationalist party, has emerged as the largest policy ever making it really a historic moment. now this stated intentions of a united ireland at some point in the future, really the story that is going to to make the headlines even though is not to thought to be imminent. that will of course thrill some it will along others and is not the only issue that is likely to be contentious going forward. now that we've seen sion fight emerge is the largest party line and has a power sharing agreement. meaning that we are likely to see some uncertainty ahead of a how would that now progresses with issues like breaks it likely to continue to prove contentious. but yes, this is indeed a seismic moment phenomenon and,

and the policies, ultimate goal is a united ireland and his lead is a calling for discussion on that very issue. how do you think this will unfold? wish in things leaders will say that this is always been part of the discussion part of the conversation. now they have stress that they aren't fixated on a particular date or a referendum and they've really been campaigning a more bread and butter issues to appeal to voters like the cost of living crisis or a health care crisis as well. and it really shouldn't be taken necessarily that this said them and managing as the launch is, party is a signal of huge support for versus for this issue of a united on. and in fact, this isn't so much a game's mission vein is more losses from the a unionist party, the d u p. who's seen that vote fractured. they've also been very moving to normal line parties. i need the nationalist new union if that's

a significant part of this story and must be pointed out. so not imminent referendum on a irish unity but satiny will be part of the conversation going forward. saw that chelsea pill in london for us. thank you so much. now, the tongue bon, have ordered women in afghanistan to cover themselves up completely in public. by wearing the full body burka is one of the harshest critics impose on women since the hotline is the mists return to power last year. these women just lost another, right? their right to be seen in public. this could be the last time we see women's faces in afghanistan. as of now, they are required to wear a full body burka. whether it be a head job that women who don't where the job firstly should be identified and their guardian should be advised that the women themselves should be punished. it's
