for change. ah, i am humbled by this victory. i know i'm honored to be given the opportunity to serve as the 31st prime minister of australia. conservatives, on the other hand, who were in power for almost a decade, were in a more somber mood. here's outgoing prime minister scott morrison conceding defeat . i've always believed in australians and their judgment, and i've always been prepared to accept their verdicts and to not i have delivered their verdict. and i congratulate antony abernathy in the labor party and i wish him and his government all the very best. now there are many boats still the count that is true, and there are many pre pauls and pies stools that will still come in. but i believe it's very important that this country has certainty. and we'll get more on this from a reporter. jared reader happens to hell from australia. of course one card it look,

every voter has the reason going into the, you know, put their ballot in the ballot box, but big picture wise. what were the trends that cause a subset look, there were a lot of different trends and we can see them playing out into the result. what is clear is that voters have really upset is dominant 2 party system in australia, of the conservatives and the labor party in favor of minor parties like the greens who have done it really well. and these climate focused anti corruption, independents who have been taking more traditionally conservative states off the conservatives. and as a result, they've had a pretty shocking result this time around. we have that, but we also have a big factor of trust and i think what was on the minds of voters was things like climate change with a staunch supporter of australia's fossil fuel industry was the right person to lead australia during a time when experts say more extreme weather events taking place and they going to

keep happening like the floods and the bush fires. also, he's handling of the pandemic. the sluggish vaccine rollout has played a part, but there are many challenges facing australia. aside from that, you mentioned some of them storing cost of leaving high inflation and you know childcare, aged care, the rising prices, rising housing, rental shortages, all of these factors have come together to lead australians to as we can see in these results, call for change all right, so new prime minister, his name is anthony albany, who is anthony up and easy is, has been the labor leader since the parties to face at the last election in 2019. he is somebody that has focused quite a lot on his likability and his background. he came, he grew up in public housing was raised by a single mother and kind of humble beginnings. humble roots is something that he's used to connect with voices. he is pushing for more ambitious short term

goals in climate change, reducing emissions. he wants to tackle inflation. he wants to his promising a more robust social safety net. and he wants to give a referendum on giving indigenous people and institutional voice in national policy making in terms of climate to he's also saying he wants to make a trailer, australia, renewable energy, super power. so that's who he is. and that's what we can expect domestically from a government led by him and internationally. what does this change for australia's, you know, partners and even rivals anthony albany. he says that the cornerstone of australian foreign policy is its relationship with the united states. he is a supporter of this august pac, between the strategy of britain and australia to provide a strategy with these nuclear powered submarines that something he supports. he wants to build better relations with indonesia, these very large,

important neighbor on australia doorstep. but the number one foreign policy item facing the incoming government is dealing with the aggression of china in the region and albany. he says that he wants to, to deal with that in a more assertive way. ok jer reach. thanks so much for that insight into the australian election upset. and we'll move on now to ukraine ukraine's president voters. lensky says his army has inflicted serious damage on russia's armed forces. even though the city of mariel has fallen, the lacerating fighters there have surrendered after a siege lasting nearly 3 months. so let's, he also says, only a diplomatic breakthrough can end the war brush and see the broadcast, images of what they say are the last soldiers leaving the as of style steel plant. these fighters have become a symbol of ukraine's resistance against russia's invasion. their fate. now,

is unclear, russia has branded them nazis and threatened to put them on trial for war crimes. ukraine is called for the capture soldiers, to be swap for russian prisoners of war. ukraine's president has not addressed russia's claim to have taken the as of style planet in them. but he says victory will not come on the battlefield. his only through diplomacy r e. but a more hobbled dog. victory will be difficult. the good alarm will be bloody and in battle. aleki, but its end will be in diplomacy. you have plenty of the machine. i am very convinced of this the origin nikki. there are things that we can bring to an end without sitting at the negotiation table. he comes from wings, portugal, that's how it is, because we would like to get back everything her cisco and russia doesn't want to give back anything needed that inches long. mitchell, no. good. russia shows no sign of wanting to end the war through diplomacy. moscow sees the battle of maria apple as

a strategic victory. defense experts say that russia could now relocate its forces to intensify its offensive in other parts of eastern ukraine. and d, w, correspond mathias billing or joints. me now from another part of ukraine in the east. he is in reprogram a tourist, which is a transport hub in the don bass region about 50 kilometers away from the fighting mathias, thanks for joining us. there's intense fighting we hear going on, not far from from where you are. are russian forces stepping up. they're offensive as you see things no, it's about 40 kilometer kilometers from here to the north east. that's it. sooner than that, which is the it, which was one has to say because it's not really functioning as such anymore. the administrative capital of those territories of the lands call blessed a region that have been still under control by ukraine. it's a major,

a target of the russian forces right now. so the russian forces are pressuring this, making a lot of pressure. they're just at the borders of the city, shelling it intensely, and it looks a little bit like this battle is now more or less going in favor of the russian grains have already a blown up a bridge that connects this city to the rest of this region. which is the sign that they're not very sure that they can hold it, but fighting is intense. no result is there yet. hearing from a toss, things are relatively calm right now. there has have been rocket attacks on trauma towards most famously. unfortunately, an attack on the railway station where civilians were trying to evacuate that had dozens or on 60 people dead so so that's, that's been awful, but the city is out of the artillery. rachel is not being shelled constantly. we are now already in the backyard of our hotel because we can't be on the street

because curfew is already here. so things are very strict. most people have left the city. and just to get to that mariel paul stuart, mario paul story that we were mentioning earlier. it seems the last resistance it went out for 3 months. it was a story we were talking about every day and incredible siege, lots of civilian casualties and incredible hold out. and then the final soldiers in the ukraine inside being pulled out, incentive filtration, cancer appear. what does the fall of this city mean in the, in, in the overall battle? and in the messaging, perhaps of the, of the 2 governments involved well for ukraine or yoga was the symbol of resistance because the ukrainian forces in there, the us off battalion and the others have defended the city, the city for a very long time. especially those who have been in the as of still works in the end. and that they gave up now is really that they for to the end, there was no,

there were no more supplies and they couldn't hold on there. but the fact that they have been despite being on the siege for, for almost 3 months, they have been fighting so long is an important symbol for ukraine. and for russia, it's important to get the city is the link between these areas here that they control and crimea, and it's one of only 2 cities. they've been able to conquer in all this time. located in your correspond matessa burning at reporting for us in crime, a tourist in eastern ukraine, and we turn out to some of the other stories making news around the world. american president joe biden. and south korea's you and suck your say they might expand joint military exercises in response to north korean missile launches. biden says he's also willing to meet north korea's leader by miss visiting the region to strengthen us alliances. the world health organization says there are now $130.00
