as undergoing inspection before being evacuated, a large convoy of surrendered ukrainian soldiers was escorted from the as off still works by pro russian armed forces. dozens of troops are wounded and have been taken to a hospital in the russian controlled tone of no voice offs in the far east. some 200 others were transferred north to all any fca in russian backed separatist territory . several 100 ukrainian soldiers could still be inside the as off steel plant keeps as it wants to get them i to live, but that negotiations remain delicate. many ukrainians are skeptical about russia's pledge to treat ukrainian soldiers in line with international norms. during whom nothing good will come of it. we don't know how they will be treated. actually we do know once we've already seen him boucher, a pin on the other towns. issues. though most of mario paul now lies in

ruins. the ukranian soldiers defending the city managed to fight against russian forces for much longer than expected would you support suits both so just all these guys basically changed the course of the war and gave ukraine the possibility to prove on the battlefield, that we have a strong army, hulu. ukraine says that their mission at the mario pulse deal plant is complete, and that it's defender as philly accomplished. what they set out to do. nevertheless, the cities lost an evacuation of its people as a major, symbolic blow free crane. one that came at a heavy price for both sides will be double. his mit is bullying her is in ukraine's the 2nd biggest city hockey is close to the countries border with russia . it told me more about the soldiers brought out as

a style today and we know that they have been brought to these places that we've just met this. you mentioned no, was off a new car. we do actually not know how they are treated. we have heard that they are you question, whatever that means. and of course, the question is, know what's going to happen there? supposedly there should be a prisoner's what they would be exchanged for russian prisoners of war. but listening to what we hear from moscow about to put him on the death penalty for the court of justice. debating whether to court is off battalion a terror terrorist group. we cannot be sure that this is ever going to happen. you know, those calls for the death penalty came from some members of the russian parliament today, accusing the as of fighters of being right wing extremists, extremists. is there any truth to those allegations?

the other i saw you was founded by a right by right wing groups in 2014, when russia is crimea for these, these separatist groups and arm, the separatist groups in the don boss. and they were formed in the region of battalion was sent off by right wing groups to protect or fight against these separatists. but later it was incorporated in the ukrainian military in the cranium national guard, under the ministry of the interior to the more precise. and most of these original founders left the battalion and it became more something like an elite troop. it never completely like the symbols of the beginning they stayed, but the most of these are right, right. when people they left or they were later driven out when

they they administered, interior took control and now i have lost you. i think you're all right. ok. yes. well, let's talk about the situation in the east. russian troops have just pulled back from khaki for where you are. now, what is the latest on fighting in that region? so russian troops are pulled back. they were 1st driven away from the city almost on to the border and now we've been hearing that there withdrawing or have already withdrawn in some places. the city is now calm. we have been all today. it's still, people are still very few people are on the street. some people do not seem to trust this. the shops are still barricaded and it's very, it's a very empty city. really empty. and you can still

see a lot of damage here. the city has been hit hard, many houses bombs. you can really see how, how, how plays through over certain streets dropping a bomb here and here and here the clusters of damage building. so the city is really just, just, just a few days that the city has been able to breathe a bit more freely and you still feel that it's not back to normal at all. thank you for that mature smith, who's pulling in the car. you could look at some of the other stories starting in sweden, where the foreign minister and linda has signed a country's official nato application at the foreign ministry in stockholm, sweden, finland. want to join the alliance following russia's invasion of ukraine, a finland parliament to prove this application today, by an overwhelming majority. britain's government says he wants to scrap part of

the northern ireland, brag seat to protocol. this is the trade deal agreed with the european union has britain left the britain left. the british foreign minister this trust said the plan legislation should provide northern ireland with access to the same benefits as the rest of the people of right brain years. president joe biden's in buffalo in new york state where a gunman shot dead 10 people just days ago. police are investigating the attack as a racist hate crime. the president and 1st lady, a meeting with community leaders in the families, suspects an 18 year old with a white supremacist sympathies tag to grocery store in a predominantly african american neighbourhood. 11 of the 13 people struck by gunfire black. in an emotional speech, the president described white supremacy theories as poison and asked americans to speak out against such ideas. in america, evil will not when i promise, hey,

will not prevail. white supremacy will not have the last word. what happened here is simple, straightforward terrorism, terrorism domestic terraces. the w. washington bureau chief is the energy policies in buffalo and said the president has been clearly moved by the shooting fill. i've only seen 2 presidents tear up. one was president obama after the sandy hook shooting. and then today, president biden, when he spoke about one victim who got shot in the supermarket right behind me, who was there to buy a birthday cake. so that indeed was a very emotional, a speech, a very powerful speech as well. prison bite and started with remembering each of the turn victims found really personal words. talked a little bit about their personal life. and then he directly really become a very,

a political by saying that the pseudo was a terrorist thought, followed a racist conspiracy theory and that, and called it, or directly domestic terrorism. what happened here? so on the one hand, very emotional, very personal, but also of really strong political message. i'm what is known of a suspect. well we know that the 18 year old drove about $200.00 or so miles to come to this very area in buffalo, a black area. why did he come here? he came here because he wanted to kill black americans, and it was very likely that he would find many black americans in this. a supermarket right behind me. he. we know that when he was 17 years old, right before he graduated, told people that he is planning on doing a missouri, you got some help from psychologist. but then when he finished school,

he fell kind of on the radar from officials. we also know that he got a gun when he was only 16 from his father, and that he loved guntee apparently is a, was well in school, did well in school, but was kind of a loaner. and this has focused attention on the rise of a white supremacist movements in the u. s. and something known as the replacement ferry. right, it's also something actually president biden referred to. because when white supremacists and neo nazis marched into charlottesville, virginia, and were shouting, we will replace you, meaning all non white americans. that was obviously the reason why president biden rent for presidency because he wanted to fight this ideology, which basically is just in support of a white male, heterosexual of a white male, heterosexual a culture. it is also very interesting to understand. so understand the political

context. you feel that republicans use this idea to blame democrats that they just bring in migrants to get re elected or to keep their power. basically saying this country is only here for white americans, not for americans is another skin color. so this is a deeply rooted, highly political issue. thank you for that. i think of is washington bureau chief in us. paul. thank you. on the 75th, i can. the film festival has opened on the french riviera after i cancelled a 2020 addition and a scaled back event last year. it's the 1st time since the pandemic began and is being held without any restrictions, even kisses on the red carpet. i loved it, she is 21. the films are vying as ever for the prestigious palm door. i dw scott roxborough and adrian kennedy. envious job of watching some of the
