has ordered the last fighters remaining at the as of style steel planned to lay down arms. in a video just released, the commander of the as of battalion says that they have been ordered to abandon the defense of maria pole. which is go up in these flower commanders have given the order to save the lives of the men and to abandon the defense of the city. and when you show the work is underway to bring the bodies of the killed fighters out just so that ukraine can bury its heroes. what are some of her wonderfully jolla defense? experts fear there will now likely be a relocating of russian forces troops from. are you poll, could now support the offensive in other parts of eastern ukraine, where the russian assault is continuing full force. russians de television broadcast images of an offensive in the hunt, ukraine's president val autumn ears. the lensky says the bombardment of the dumbass region has been brutal, lonely, and i will give my sissy balmy's looks in enamel. this is

a deliberate and criminal attempt to kill as many ukrainians as possible during the walk to destroy as many homes or social institutions. and businesses as possible for you that this is all genocide or ukraine on people, and the occupiers will be held accountable and brought to justice on barrett parallel should. meanwhile, the governor of the lou hand screech in which is still under ukrainian control has reported further attacks where more people have been killed. i spoke to our correspond with his bellinger, who is income at oscar city in the dumbass region, about 50 kilometers from the fighting. he gave me an update on their russian offensive in the region and the situation in the city of several don't yet. square russians shelling has killed at least 12 people over the past 24 hours. well, we're hearing that said today $20.00 pay some sources. 25 people have been evacuated from this from the city. many have left before, but there are still a considerable number of people left there and the conditions are more and more

dire. the problem is that the road that leads out of similar than yours goes is within reach of the russian artillery. and often this road is shell, so it's a times very dangerous to leave the city. and that's the biggest problem. it isn't, we're not talking about a 2nd mario, paul, there is still a road in, but the road is dangerous and it's a very difficult situation. now. we are hearing that time time after time they're trying to restore. but for example, the gas supply natural gas for cooking, et cetera, but many people don't have electricity and gas it can you bring us up to date on the situation in mary opal? we've been talking over the past days about the as of still works where some soldiers had surrendered to russian troops. now we are hearing now that the ukrainian, her general staff has given the command for all of them to surrender and to save their lives. this is one of the commanders of the as of battalion where has made

this public. so that implies that they will comply with this and that probably within the next few hours the days everybody will be out of the steel plant. they have been there for a very long time. they have been defending the city. and as the russians have advanced more and more, they have fled into these steelworks. they have been there without further supplies for weeks. now, if you look at them, they're very a, they've lost a lot of weight and some of them have injuries. many were injured and couldn't be treated. the conditions were very diane, it seems that this is a, the point where it's not possible to keep on. and they are now being taken in by the russians, and that it might be later swap for russian prisoners of war. but there seems to be an agreement, but it's far from clear whether this will happen. mathias bellinger in crime at oscar. former german chancellor. gerhard schroeder has resigned from the board of directors of moscow based oil company ra, sniffed after facing mounting criticism over his russia ties. earlier this week,

the european parliament called for him to face sanctions. if he didn't quit is also a long time friend of vladimir putin. schroeder was previously expected to take a top java, russian gas giant gas prom. but that's now looking unlikely for years gearhart should or has been criticized for his closeness to russian interests. some called him the kremlin chief lobbyist in germany. schroeder has refused to criticize the invasion of ukraine, and he played down crimes committed by russian forces within the s p d. the party that schroeder once led, many felt his bees were unacceptable. calls grew for him either to leave voluntarily or face expulsion. this week chancellor shields himself added to that pressure. one more thing is important to me if i may add, it would be best if galahad square to resign from his post. schroeder has never

made a secret of his friendship with vladimir putin. while he was chancellor from 1998 to 2005, he signed the deal to bring russian guest to germany by the north string pipeline through the baltic sea. and he raised eyebrows by referring to the russian leader as a flawless democrat. soon after leaving office, he accepted a job with russian energy company gas problem. he later became chairman of the supervisory board of another russian oil giant ra, sniffed. and he's also on the board of the north stream operating company just why florida has finally changed tack is not clear. it could be down to a motion in the european parliament to put him on a list of those with russian lengths. he could face sanctions, including asset freezes. maybe the decision by the bundle stuck to withdraw privileges such as a fully staffed office and a driver force the ex chancellor to think again. whatever the truth, many say, sure, the support for putin has tarnished german is international reputation. and that

damage cannot easily be undone. here are some other developments in the war in ukraine. german chancellor, although shalt says katara, will play a central role in germany's plans to count its dependence on russian gas. talks in berlin with katara. amy, a shake, tom, him bin tawny shalt said. germany would construct infrastructure to import liquefied natural gas by ship. cut out wants to start sending energy to germany in 2024. finland signed a deal with the u. s. company to buy liquefied natural gas after russia said it would hold supplies. it was helsinki refused to paying roubles. gas on the accounts for 5 percent of finland's energy needs official say there'll be no disruption to consumers. the g 7 group of industrialized nations has pledged nearly $20000000000.00 in a to ukraine finance minister. and it said, nearly half of that total was mobilized. that the group meetings in germany this

week, the g 7 said the funds on the line, the groups on wiping support for you. president vladimir putin says ross has been facing a growing number of cyber attacks since he sent troops to ukraine in an address to his security council. put and blamed foreign states for barrage of attacks on government agencies, media, and financial institutions. you ordered officials to enhance security, adding that roger needed to boost its defenses by cutting its reliance on foreign hardware and software. let you go now by emily, sherwin who was a moscow correspond before the up of you had to close its office there and what stood out to you and putins address. well, put in was essentially saying that russia is facing a coordinated information war as he was calling it by foreign governments. he didn't mention which governments, but we can only assume that he means the west in general, presumably also ukraine. he mentioned that sanctions have had an effect on russia's ability to access i t technology, but he took a very defiant stance as usual. he said that russia has been preparing for this for

years and that they now need to do. they do need to do more to protect their government systems, websites and essential infrastructure. but they still plan to switch to only home grown hardware and software when it comes to protecting of russia. he said by 2025, and it's also an information that he started when he launched his invasion of ukraine. he would disagree and i'm sure he would. does russia have enough homegrown talent, though, and technology to cut the use of foreign one to look, it's been an, it's been a long term narrative within russia that russia is trying to create its own products, its own hardware, software, and, and other products. in fact, in general, and also a more independent internet, at least that's what the authorities call it. there is this project for several years now of creating an autonomous internet, which essentially means that russia wants to be able to cut off its own internet from the world wide web. and authorities. of course that's to protect from cyber

attacks. critic say it's for censorship. i'm but of course, these sanctions now are much more sudden, i think, than the russian government was expecting. so that means that, that russia's cut off from u. s. exports. and you know, of computer is hel, communications equipment. you know, the actual hardware of it all. and there's also another problem which is that the, the, there's a huge brain drain. so essentially, last month, the russian association of electronic communication tools, rushes parliament that between 50070000. i t specialists have left the country since the war began. so, you know, it's really they would say, when i'm hearse, any russian young russian entrepreneurs i've spoken to are interested in developing systems for other countries to the battlefront. they tell us about the state of the russian army with the parliament now said to start listing over. forty's. well, they said there is, they say draft build that they're looking into widening the age bracket of who can be, you know,

fighting in this war. and the parliamentarians who drafted this bill say that they want the most professional experts to join, that includes people over the age of 40, which makes it sound like a desperate. it does make it sound like they're desperate. we don't know, of course, the state of the russian army, but this is one of, in one of the indications that things might not be going to plan, that they want to broaden the amount of people that are kind of being drafted in, for example, their media reports that there are thousands of job ads for jobs as a soldier is online as well. now, i'm sure russians are seeing those and wondering what's going on and we show it. thank you very much. filling us in germany is detected, it's 1st case of the ram monkey pox wires, the armed forces medical services, the case was founded, a patient in munich. the world health organization is concerned, the buyers could spread throughout europe this summer. the growing number of cases has now been reported in european countries and elsewhere. normally, the virus is found over the in africa research as a perplexed,

as many of the new cases are in people who haven't been there. monkey pox is a rare viral infection, usually found and small mammals in west and central africa. the spread of the virus is usually caused by people traveling to those areas. but for the 1st time, the disease appears to be spreading among people who have not traveled to africa. germany, belgium, italy, and sweden have become the latest countries to confirm cases. following britain, portugal, spain, and the united states. there is something very unusual in terms of bo speed in which it spread and also the long incubation time, 12 days and sometimes potentially 21 days. i mean, sir, you could silently incubate in many people before we realised it in australia. one man who had recently returned from britain is also infected. a 2nd case was awaiting confirmation. the individual who's been diagnosed in victoria. i came

from london a so flu on. the 14th landed in abu dhabi and then was on an ebay darby, melbourne slice landing in the early morning of the 16th. i had some symptoms prior to being on the flight, but has attended for medical care almost immediately. monkey pox similar to humans, small pugs though milder. most people recover from it in a few weeks. symptoms include fever and headache, feeling tired and swollen glance. the virus is usually transferred through close bodily contact, a bodily fluids. their world health organization says the general public should be aware of unusual skin rashes and acknowledged that there were still many unknowns. also in terms of transmission. one of the theories of health officials is that the disease is now being sexually transmitted, but further investigation is needed. coming up next in d, w. news,
