side. having since been reported late on saturday in the russian, m. o. d called on the soldiers to lay down their arms. we appeal to all service men of the armed forces of ukraine and foreign mercenaries, with the cynical attitude of the key of authorities, such an unenviable fate awaits all of you. given this, do not test your fate, following the example of the mary paul tragedy. but take the only right decision, stop hostilities and lay down your arms. now, wherever your curators force you to fight for the ideas of naziism. something else important to note bustles in residential areas of maria will have reportedly stopped under not confined to the industrialized scripts. moscow sees the remaining nationalist a's off battalion forces are surrounded up the steel plant. some $400.00 foreign mercenaries from european states and canada are said to be among them. russia claims radio intercepts indicate kids authorities, wouldn't allow the soldiers to surrender us ukrainian president vladimir zalinski cable,

abundant all peace talks with moscow if russia eliminates ukrainian forces in mario people who refused to don arms the destruction of all our guys in mary u. paul, what they are doing now can put an end to any format of negotiations. i think it is their big mistake to say that they really want to end the war. while with fierce fighting in residential areas of mario coming to an end, locals have started to bury the innocent victims of the buffalo. a warning you may find the following. images disturbing. some bodies of local killed by artillery or gunfire still lie in the streets knows who are lucky enough to survive or force to bury those less fortunate. these pictures show a funeral taking place in the courtyard. local saying,

there are countless makeshift graves. nearby our senior correspond murat garcia who is in mario reports now from the territory taken under control by the joint forces . thousands of ukrainian troops and nationalists were entrenched here along with hundreds of civilians who they shepherded here and held as human shields. eventually, almost a 1000 ukrainian soldiers surrendered here, but only after leaving the outskirts littered with civilian corpses. it was a very warm in america. i'm good afternoon or do i need someone to come here as a cheering on gloves as a german? it's been a real, a spreadsheet that has been received. i need to monitor this companion nation warners. dan's kinda white of the world and what you will follow up with the war level with joyce you and is that you're

with when you're at the each factory a gigantic industrial compound, we witnessed a scene of devastation. these are all vehicles of the ukrainian military and nationalist battalions. his is one truck that was overturned and this huge bluff the tunnel down into the basement. there perhaps you can see under ground tunnels and areas of the each factory which is what this is or these vehicles were evidently under cover under this this metal roof. and as you

can see, there were who the stood underneath snake, a labyrinth of tunnels and rooms cumulatively tens of kilometers long. this is where ukrainian forces made their home while keeping civilians confined to the surface for the duration of the battle. thousands and thousands of credit nationally as willis, so to speak with you, count auto and home on the ground. he's a soldier truck with a civilian us. russian forces approached the huge industrial area. this is, this is where they live in these huge get rooms funks, and they don't buy everything, all of their belongings, ammunition weapons. he is huge amount of bullets. for example, they left who of this in a hurry, as they tried to link up with allied troops,

nationalists in the as over steel complex. but this is one of the reasons why this battle is taking so long, because so many of the nationalist thought are deep on the ground for by story on the ground. here and elsewhere, we found extensive stockpiles of weapons and ammunition. among them, things that ukraine claimed it had destroyed bobs. the biggest thing that we found that these was crumbling belief mom and he personnel live ukraine had claimed years ago to have the shrewd it's was so pulse and he personal, why did it here? you haven't least with said on the lose the trip. why here? there are plenty more. mon, 90 ukraine claimed to have destroyed these as of their minds according to

international treaties. the if the thought as you can see it had was for the kids. another more mind with the detonator, with the trip was over that as well as stakes to install and sold them into the ground to set them up. a move in in cities oversee there are many will create here here and elsewhere at the elite factory. but this does to pursue that. you can see when you bo appearances, like when it came to of the stood, it's mine, anti personnel mines stockpiles aside for and g personnel mines. we also found a large number of weapons, ammunition and crates delivered from nato member states, javelin miss, all tubes polish in bulgarian ammunition, british military uniforms, and much more, not just weapons,

but also vehicles here at this parking spot. we've found a dozen or so america, i thank you. thank you joe button. he says for these i'm a vehicle some these again as i say about a dozen of them just here some in the state of disrepair, others evidently disabled, perhaps cannibalized for path. nevertheless, these never left the each factory industrial, though almost none of the previous occupants remain here. the ukrainian prisoners of war have been transported away. the civilians held hostage here could not wait to get away. after their ordeal, he found only one lonely survivor. there is another trophy seized by

russian forces here in mariano. listen evidently a serviceable gradient service dog. formerly she was painted and flew. this is an identifying elephant with nationalism. she now serves the local sizes from then. yes. okay. just a lot. so was business. i want you to check spoke with the old latricia, the ones that you show us because you are starting to see keith looks on at least the big old log moral for several thirds of other girlish shows that you're watching it, that it's already lower than what we what the videos from local currency, good, former bruce and i spoke with the ethnic authority on asked very little bit early marseilles. oh, good. well, there's landscape vision hurdles here. so brazil,

a dog these the last page of the battle of mary, you pull the siege of the as of steel and arn works industrial complex at the heart of the city where thousands of fanatical as off nationalists have fortified deep on the ground to wait for the inevitable assault more i'd guides the of o t for mary hugo. and i want to show you this russian air defense systems in action on saturday in the border city of belgrade, in response to what the m o d claims was a ukrainian strike enough footage taken by witnesses. you can see russian interceptor at rockets in use. locals reported to explosions that could be heard in the city center in response to ukraine's alleged actions on russian territory. a military facility on the outskirts of kia was targeted. the plum produces anti aircraft on, on these ship missile systems. the russian defense ministry has far to directly

respond to any attack on russian. so room as you would have to give you the up, the number and scale of missile strikes on targets in kiev will increase in response to the key of national regime. committing any terrorist attacks or sabotage on russian territory. look, what wasn't it? the escalated response from moscow follows earlier are strikes on the brown sc belgrade regions of western russia. ukraine has rejected moscow team. it's been carrying out attacks along the border under q rush of staging, all those incidents on its own territory. the russian investigative committee sees the strikes were carried out by to combat the helicopter. equipped with heavy offensive weapons, leaving at least 8 people, including a pregnant woman and child seriously injured in the shelling this week, it rushes defense ministry said that moscow could target for decision making centers if ukraine keeps attacking russian territory. we heard from some locals in their pre on st reach and it's in the local. it's we've been through a lot,

cried alon, we everything has been exploding there. the neighbors have a bomb craters. the house was also hit the beams broke in the barn levels. when there was an explosion, i was lying on the couch. glass rained down, i fell to the floor, flowerpots that were on the window sill, fell on me. yeah, to me, but i was in the house. then i went out on the porch. it's good that i didn't reach the gate, otherwise i would have been lying here. when i came out, i saw a blast wave that was like this way. will it do me? we were in the house. we looked out of the window. there was dust everywhere and then it started shaking. i went to another house, there was black smoke there, that was the one that was burned down and where a woman was injured. former united nations weapons inspector scott ritter believes camp shouldn't be shocked if moscow targets more ukrainian military facilities in response to attacks on russian territory. i think some people forget that this is not a war. this is

a special military operation. and what that means is that russia is not bringing to bear the totality of its power, that this is a very measured campaign by the russian military to carry out a limited set of objectives. ukraine, on the other hand, appears to be engaged in total war against russia. and i think they have been lulled into a false sense of complacency because they have interpreted russia's special military operation as a total war against themselves. i think russia may have to educate ukraine as to what more can be done against it. to help deter, um, you know, ukraine carrying out attacks on russian soil. there is, there are consequences for your actions. and if you train wants to expand the war, i think they shouldn't be surprised when russia escalates it's response. ok, let's move the program. all know,

tens of thousands of people continue to protest in pakistan after the countries prime minister emron can was i stood by the parliament in a no conference vote earlier this month. an enormous rally took place over nights in karachi, pakistan's largest city, with deafening tears from thousands of flag waving supporters. ah, he's like google. i'm standing here. gena park just behind the father of the nation mausoleum. this massive people have gathered together to protest and show their support. imran cons demand for immediate general elections in the country in all of my time working as a journalist, i've never seen such a huge protest. the people have been roused by him. rang come to make their voices heard. they have one demand, one demand only,

and that is new elections. iran can last a no confidence vote on may. 9th of april, after pakistan supreme court said he had broken the law by dissolving parliament in an attempt to prevent the vote from going ahead. for yasu prime minister claims washington was behind his departure. city was eager. he believes to see him removed from his post from attaining an independent foreign policy. a constitutional crisis still continues in the country with con, claiming he remains responsible for keeping pakistani safe from american influence . but it's gone by this done, you know, as former prime minister of pakistan, i am responsible for 220000000 people to not let them be killed in a war for the sake of another country. i will never allow my people in my army to be slaughtered for the benefit of other countries. the newly elected prime minister should balance sharif is not new to top level politics. having served this head of the punjab region on 3 occasions before being arrested on money laundering charges,

his brother was prime minister to before he was found guilty of concealing assets in 2017. the white house has already warmly welcomed sharif. the united states congratulates newly elected pakistani prime minister shabazz sharif and we look forward to continuing our long standing cooperation. we view a strong prosperous and democratic pakistan is essential for the interests of both our countries. but besides international pressure, there is also international support for con, with germany, pakistani community gathering outside the u. s. consulate in frankfort to rally in support of the former p. m. and against what they believed to be american intervention and pakistan. a research fellow at the university of la hor september med. dar believes him run cans political views on the development of his country just we're not serving u. s. foreign policy aims from this room. ron con said that he has been, you know,

threatened through a letter by the united states that the, the park is on establishment must for the a minus win policy were the do not want to see him, ron con, as a prime minister. i thought, why? because iraq on has the, you know, quite will go about the independent foreign policy. and it all started according to me in september 2021. when statesman and the director, or ca, mister burns, came in as a secret, was it not only in arkansas but also in india? non con starts to words, you know, providing not any military base to united states was not welcome by the state department and even the pentagon. and he basically publicly said a statement where he said that things will get tougher focus on being true because he knew what was coming. northern european stability would be jeopardized if finland, unsweetened join nato. that's the warning from the russian foreign ministry,

after both north country said there are mulling joining the alliance. it's no secret that the territories of these states have long been claimed by nato. with large scale military exercise is being held that motives of the alliance are clear, but it's unclear while baltic region neighbors, finland, and sweden want to turn into a new frontier of confrontation between the nato block and russia. the negative consequences for peace and stability in northern europe are obvious or moscow stated, if a session by sweden and finland happens, russia will have to reinforce the baltic sea region by deploying nuclear weapons. and it's your opinion, ex, slave of collecting grad in order to quote, restore the balance, rushes repeatedly argued. nato expansion goes against its security concerns. something highlighted during talks before the conflict and ukraine began,

but was ignored or dismissed by western powers. during the cold war, sweden and finland along with austria, arlington, switzerland decided not to join political and military alliances. however, in the 1990s, those neutral states became part of what was called nato's partnership for peace program, which allows them to cooperate militarily. what the block with i taking up full membership, the governments of sweden and austria, northly and things have changed to, to events in ukraine, reconsidering their positions. the european security architecture have changed fundamentally after russians invasion of ukraine. we have deepened our native partnership until now hand in hand with sweden. ever since russia is legally an exit crimea, there is no other way to have security guarantees done under nato's deterrence and common defense as guaranteed by native article 5. while in sweden,

riots erupt it in the city of already brew on friday as left wing country. protesters slash with police ahead of a planned right. one demonstration the protest turned violent with objects thrown on a police vehicle torched the country demo up and in response to a far right raleigh where it was planned up the muslim holy book, the koran would be burned. the event featuring and the muslim danish politician rasmus pollutant on his party hard line. i've been banned from going me restaurants live now to arthur and blogger thomas rupert for his take on recent offense. thomas, welcome. just on the last for events, the scenes that we're seeing there are those the fighting with police out the law make sentiment does continue. it appears the bubble away in sweden. are you surprised?

it still has the power to lead to clashes and violence on the streets like we've seen who's at fault here. well, this is no story or with starting off the migration kramer ration crisis in 2015. i think we were silly, flooded by me, migrants and we have got criminal criminal justice as right. the reason there and we see shootings and st in small speeds when you city cities, which were peaceful in earlier times. so sweden has changed a lot and yet it's not a real surprise that the people are not happy. they have f, one of these bands of these gangs than the cities, even with hand grenades. exploiting, sometimes these are things sweet and didn't know 10 years ago and escalation to somehow something which yeah. cannot suppress anybody. ok, let's say, turn their attention to that potential. nato membership, thomas, considering at russia in part, undertook him military operation over ukraine's plus to join nato. are you

surprised both sweden and finland are now considering it finland, of course, shares a huge border with russia. what we have to do might these countries, i'm speeding, well not officially, but in general was a part of the not native structures already for decades. when we look at the old plans from the cold war, cold war, in case of a hot war, the americans have then already planned to move all the air force from germany to sweden. because germany would have been the target of nuclear strike from russia. and this was a greet with sweden, so sweden was marliss unofficially already part of nato structures. a friend this is different because there you have many rushes living and you had married tight, a economy ties between russia and finland. i'm living in petersburg of just like 40 cameras for helsinki. and before all these crisis, it was absolutely common that russians went, took to shopping to finland or on a weekend renting a house. somewhere in the swedish lay in a finished lake,

i saw these were quite tight countries and i'm surprised by that finland is thinking about sweden doesn't surprise me. and named american officials say that the countries will be able to join nato this summer. do you think that's feasible? well, it depends on these countries. on the, on the pressure of the u. s. can make on the governments are not nature has already, some weeks ago announced that they would be able to take these countries into not to within days. if they just ask for it, um, so it seems that the standards are already quite equal, especially with when it was with the suite number it surprised. but yeah, if they get to get these governments to ask for not to manipulate membership, i think this will be a request off a week. wow. if they do join it, or what response would you expect from moscow? well, i, russia sees the nato, let's not call it any may, but anyway, is some kind of a competitive whatever as a risk for that security. so if,

especially sweden becomes or finland becomes a part of natal, this will have a rank reaction on the, on the russian side with maybe new troops, new. they bought a toyota over for land or whatever. and all the also, maybe of the russians will enforce their fleet the in, in the body. see when, when sweden joins natal. it's nothing good for the stability of their budget, which absolutely no. can further nato expansion affect the conflict in ukraine? how would you see that playing? i i don't, i don't think so. you crave this very, very special topic for, for russia in general. i having in mind the, the, the conflicts and you create general the, you know, before the, my down that was like, like 50 percent of ukrainian. a population was a think are seeing themselves as rational as russians. a miss is very special, come to with a very special situation. um, it will have some effect, but in general, it, for me,

it's hard to predict but doesn't bring any stability. this for sure that he doesn't bring any additional security will be. i source thomas as always, thanks for your time on your thoughts. always good to hear. we've been speaking to thomas roper for his take on those recent events, arthur and blogger. the head of the european commission said that you is considering a 6th round of russian sanctions, which will potentially target the energy sector, including the oil industry and softer vladimir putin. earlier. slum some nations for delaying their payments for russian energy they had bought. this is with a flood in failures in the payments of export supplies of russian energy resources . banks from unfriendly countries delay the transfer payments. i remind you the task has already been set to transfer payments for energy resources to the national currency. gradually moving away from the dollar and the euro. in general,

we intend to radically increase the share of payments in the national currency in the foreign trade system in the world. around a month ago, the russian president ordered the estates companies to switch to payments and roubles for russian energy resources. the decision was met with a huge backlash from the west, which accused moscow of breaking contracts and circumventing sanctioned upton, others being new agreements among member states on bombing, russian, oil and gas. latimer putin also stressed on arm embargo on russian energy resources will primarily hits european citizens. that would get zeppelin attempts by western countries to replace our energy resources with alternative supplies will inevitably affect the entire global economy. supplies from other countries, primarily from the united states will cost consume as many times more would affect the standard of living of people and the competitiveness of the european economy. despite these obvious things for every one european countries, it constantly talking about refusing russian supplies,

which further destabilizes the market and inflates prices themselves, primarily for their citizens. and a very interesting statement from the head of germany's federal network agency who's say's that, by the way, that's a overseas the country's energy needs. and he said that say recently, if russian gas applies are cut by berlin, germany's reserves will only last until the awesome former austrian foreign minister carney canal told r t. it would be hard for germany to deal with the consequences of cutting energy imports from russia. the impact will be much larger than just the old metaphor that people might freeze or not freeze. bear in mind that it's also all about the commodity, natural gas for electricity generation. german government is taking all sorts of administrative legal steps in preparing

a gas supply. emergency situation is even talk about nationalized station confiscation or russian property. we can't imagine i would say the ultimate outcome. you can see how pressure is built up against germany within the european union. it's not only from the u. s. from your brain, or by the public opinion. it's really from within the european union. the real issue right now is, how will it be accomplished that germany resigned to the fact that it has to agree on that imposed oil and gas embargo by the european union. it's not about a very long time. i would say everybody was stuff and everybody's already stephanie . just approaching half past 8 in the evening here in moscow. thanks for watching our news update. stay with us though, because we're going to the world's apart studios next. next on

a boy who is standing by find out who she's in conversation with today. ah, a with a wealth engine, oil, the parts, the american approach did it well could be reduced to one bumper sticker. it well
