ah, ah ah, there's a deed of the news live from berlin, ukrainian soldiers, levy as of stars, steal works in mario poll buses carrying wanted service. men have been leaving the plans where they held out for weeks against the russian onslaught. does this mean the siege is over? also on the program, turkish president reggie type heard one says he will not support finland on sweden . joining nato accusing both countries of harboring terrorists plus a major setback for his ball and its allies in lebanon's parliamentary elections

that you run back to party and its partners are set to lose their majority in parliament. so what will a reformist government mean for lebanon? ah, i'm told me all logic, well, welcome to the program. ukraine's military, he says more than $260.00 ukrainian soldiers have left the besiege as of style. still works in the port city of mario paul. after being trapped inside 4 weeks, bosses under russia military ex escort was seen leaving the plant on monday night. earlier in the day, russia agreed to evacuate wounded soldiers who had been holding out inside the plant since early march. the as a stall plant has become a symbol of ukrainian resistance. after the rest of my ball fell to russian forces

. this is what ukrainian president will do. mil savanski had to say on my mind that you shall we hope to save the lives of boys among them. i heavily wounded haskell. they are being treated another by 12 on the line. ukraine needs its ukranian heroes alive. this is a principle, i think these words can be understood by all adequate people, the shipper and we will keep working to get our boys back home. these work needs to be delicate and it needs time. the w correspondent, funding for shaw joins us from q. i funny now, what have you heard about the movement of fighters out of maria poll? busy the official information on the ground in ukraine is that about 260 people from as of steel plan has been evacuated to 2 different locations. now both of these locations are in the dumbass region. one of them close by to mario pole is a controlled by russians and the other one for the up north in it on bus region is

controlled by the pro ration back separatist. as a result obviously is totally unclear which is going to happen to the soldiers of the as of regiment. you have to remember, of course, that the us of frederick meant is seen as a nazi unit. and actually russia stop at his will. one of reasons for invading ukraine was to basically destroying this unit that they consider a nazi unit. which by the way, does have roots in the ultra nationalist, a movement when he started, but actually has become integrated international god. as a result, people actually see them as heroes because they were holding out there for so long trying to defend what was still ukrainian control territory. and now the question is, as we're hearing that they are being basically, i am taken out to evacuated from as of steel, planned as an agreement of a prisoner swap, swapped with russia. the question is, where the mission is going to be completed, or whether their fate as the very here is on the ground. whether these are ukrainian soldiers,

i going to be actually killed by the aggressor because this is what russia was a doing all the while, pounding this as of steel plant, which really has a very big symbolic meaning. and an emotional meaning here for people on the ground, the wants that i could speak to because it's already quite late at night here. say they have really asked themselves, is this it? is it over when it comes to defending? what was the last defense of the a, mary paul harbor, which is the steel plant? nobody has an answer to that question. what we know, if it is correct and we cannot verify that information yet, did about 260 people have been evacuated to this russian controlled territories. then about $300.00, at least are still inside. so is going to happen to them. how's the story going to evolve? the has to see as the story unfolds? well, as interesting, just briefly, can you give us a picture of how significant this has been? the sea has been in the overall conflict. basically the siege

of the as of stars, steel plant is something that was very, very important for the russian forces ever since this war has begun. and by that, by the way, i do not mean february 24th, but already we have to go back to 2014 when the war began in the dorm bus region. murray, poor dan already played a significant role because you have to know that for russia controlling murray poor means controlling more of, of, of the southern part in the eastern part of ukraine. but also having a link to a crimea which day and acts in 2014. so to them to russia, it was very important. it is very important to actually control mario paul. now this last a patch of land to say, so that was still in the hands of ukraine and forces. and as i said, you do not know how this fight is going to continue, or whether ukrainian forces have now completely given up and even surrendered when it comes to as of seal plant. but it really has a symbolic meaning, even though of course, it's just one part of ukraine and this fight is raging on. are so many parts,

if that the just hearing that there were fresh explosions in living, which is vast in ukraine. so with this part of history, that seems to be a developing developing into new phase like leaf into the interests falling in the interest of fresh and forces. that does not say anything yet, of course, for the development of the war, per se, which has been raging on for 3 months. because momentums had been shifting all the while old while as the war has begun. so we just have to see how it develops, but certainly it is quite a development what we see on full right now at the as of sale plant in ukraine. advantage of the correspondent funding for her. thank you for bringing us up to speed and in ukraine's north east. it's forces have mounted a counter attack, forcing russian troops to pull back from the 2nd largest city hockey. heavy fighting is also being reported in the eastern region of lou hands there to

recreate in officials at western analysts say, russian forces have been suffering setbacks when russian troops 1st entered ukraine . a quick victory is what president putin may have been hoping for. a long drawn out conflict is what he is getting ukrainian troops say they've managed to push the russians back to the border. and as arms from the west continued to roll in, the russian troops have been forced to change strategies. analysts say what's happening now could become a war of attrition. the development to the war house confounded ah, on the list, i think it every 10. i think that i all seen the initial stages. there was the belief that rush would probably when quickly that they didn't, they, they withdrew from around a cave in order to concentrate their forces to attack

a new crying. don't pass. am what is interesting is the extent to which they have now or are now in the process. i think of failing at dot. this footage, released by the ukranian armed forces, purports to show the destruction of a russian held bridge in the hands region. ukrainian forces have also recaptured several villages. rosco, whatsoever is one of them. much residence here say it was under russian control for 2 months. though the fighting has stopped. the village now lies in ruins. and it is scary to see it like this. the village was beautiful and big. now it's all broken. everything is destroyed. williams, the village council of school and everything it's destroyed. people have died as well as the war drags on and the death toll continues to climb. so

to do the odds that this war will have no winners. turkey says it will not approve sweden and finland attempts to join nato president and accused the nordic countries of failing to take a clear stance against kurdish militants. sweden had previously announced that it would follow finland in seeking nasal membership and being 2 centuries of swedish neutrality. it was a moment that for many had long been unthinkable. but less than 3 months after russia and 2 centuries of neutrality without your back. yeah. and that he's, it is a major historical shift for our country, the lamb, not, we're ending one era and beginning another mom. but we can enter this new era with confidence here because we are doing it with the belt of our history, all the best stuff of what land sister would out. the decision was cheered by many

in stock home. i was, i was absolutely against it before because i thought that we should be neutral as we have always been. but then when, when this invasion of russia happened, i kind of changed my mind a little bit because the, the, the world and the nordic, or scandinavian countries, it felt not but safe any more? well, i think it was about time. we've been hanging around forever and now we're to fullstep the mu follows neighboring finland's decision to also apply for membership. but what started out as a dream come true for many natal members, soon turned into a diplomatic nightmare as turkish president reach, hep, tie up arrow to one shot down. any hopes for a smooth process or to one accuses the nordic countries of working against his government. that includes

a recent refusals to extradite kurdish militants that turkey considers terrorists is welcome. good, good, murray. heard you kinda neither sweden nor finland has an open, clear stance against terrorist organizational solutions. besides, throughout this process, even if they say they're against harris organizations, student teachers, on the contrary, they have statements saying they would not expedite certain terrorism. even if they say they'll be exciting them, we believe once bitten, twice, shy, acute hallmarks in it. many fear the fracture could play into putins hands at a time when western leaders are desperate to display unity. or let's take a look at some of the stories away from the wall. clashes of broken out it at a funeral in jerusalem for a palestinian man fatally injured during recent violence at the alex a mosque. israeli police fire tear gas and rubber bullets after mourners through stones and fireworks. police arrested multiple palestinians while dozens more

reportedly injured. israel anchors new prime minister says the country is down to its last day of petrol and it's printing money to pay civil servants. neil victor, marina vicar m. a single mother who was appointed on thursday says the country needs $75000000.02 pay for social import, economic and political crisis. a shield weeks of anti government produce early results from lebanon's parliamentary election indicates losses for allies of the countries iraq. back to has bala group final result are still to be determined, but the christian party with strong ties to saudi arabia, the u. s. has made games, it's unclear whether it has bala added allies, will retain their majority in the countries $128.00 c to parliament. has mila supporter is struck an upbeat tone, an election night, but it soon became apparent that there cheering was premature. the parliamentary

block led by the shiite islamist group took a major hint early results show that its allies have lost support. opponents of his bela made gains, including the christian lebanese forces party, which is linked to saudi arabia. the early result comes amid the worst economic and financial crisis. lebanon has ever seen the deadly explosion in the port of b route. nearly 2 years ago made things even more dire. many people can barely afford basic necessities. even polling stations like this, one in tripoli were not spared for the daily power cuts. before i die, i want to see lebanon. the wait was when i was young, man, we went to school, finished our education. i completed lebanon was lebanon, then i want to die knowing lebanon is back again. okay,

so let's put that here are q u, i voted for change, of course, because we can't go on like this, them, of a lebanon needs to wake up and lift itself up. and that's something i support with said that our children can continue to live in this country. i'm more you, the law charlotte, voter turnout was only 41 percent. and many observers say the countries complex so called confessional power sharing political system has paralyzed the state. but others hope that the success of opposition parties may finally lead to real change . and a reminder of the top story were falling for you. ukraine's military says more than $260.00 ukranian soldiers have left the besieged as lost. all still works in the port city of mario pole. after being trapped inside 4 weeks, more than 50 injured troops have reportedly been taken to hospital in a rush, uncontrolled area. by that's it for now with mixed up business with my colleague
