his army has inflicted serious damage on russia's armed forces. despite the fall of the city of mario and tornadoes tear through western germany. storms leave a trail of destruction. dozens are injured and there's widespread property damage. ah, i'm nick spicer. welcome to the program. australia's labor party is celebrating victory in national elections. the world brings to an end almost a decade of conservative government labor leader anthony albanese will be the new prime minister climate change. and the pandemic were the big campaign issues. so it's inflation now at its highest level in nearly 20 years. with nearly 2 thirds of the votes counted, alban easy is expected to lead biggest party in parliament,

but has not yet secure the 76 needed for an outright majority. labor chief says he wants to unite australia to night. the astrology and plato have voted for chinese 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's conservatives were in power for almost a decade. here's the 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 tonight i have to live in the verdict, and i congratulate anthony avenue in the labor party and i wish him and his government all the very best. now there are many boats still camp that is true. and there are many great palls and post tools 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. jerry really 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 caused a subset look, there were a lot of different trends and we can see them playing out into the results. 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 particularly well. and these climate focused anti corruption, independents who have been taking more traditionally conservative seats of 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, his handling of the pandemic is sluggish. vaccine roll out has played a part, but there are many challenges facing australia. aside from that, you mentioned some of them storing cost of living 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, how busy? who is anthony up and easy is, has been the labor lead us in 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 this kind of humble beginnings. humble roots is something that he's used to connect with versus 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 is also saying he wants to make a trailer australia, a 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 pact between australia, 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 to reach, thanks so much for insight into the australian collection of ukraine's president vladimir zalinski says his army has inflicted serious damage on russia's armed forces. even though the city of mariel, paul has finally fallen. the last remaining fighters there have surrendered after a siege lasting nearly 3 months. so as he also says, only a diplomatic breakthrough can end the war. brushing tv 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 the motion, but he says victory will not come on. the battlefield is only through diplomacy. ah e, but a more hobbled dog. victory will be difficult. the good alarm will be bloody and in battle alike, but its end will be in diplomacy. yes, 7 of the machine. i am very convinced of this e g e r h. nikki. there are things that we can bring to an end without sitting at the negotiation. table he was always 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 they did 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. d, w, correspond him at his billing, or is in cramming tours, gate transport hub in the dumbass region in eastern ukraine. not far from the front line. he told us about the intense fighting nearby 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 functional search 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 there 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 russians. the cranes 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 this 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 curfews already here. so things are very strict. most people have left the city and

just to get to that, mary, all paul stuart mariel 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. an 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 you are, you put was a symbol of resistance because the ukrainian force is in there. the eyes of battalion and the others have defended the city for a very long time, especially those who have been in the eyes of steel 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 there 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. it's 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. okay, did have you correspond mathias burning at reporting for us in crime interest in eastern ukraine? let's take a look now at some of the other stories making use around the world. american president joe biden, and south careers you suck. you all say they might expand joint military exercises in response to north korean missile launches by north or says he's willing to meet north korea's leader in the region to strengthen american allies. then march, queen margaretta has visited a copenhagen amusement park as part of celebrations to mark 50 years on the throne . defying her age, the 82 year old even took a ride on
