but some major military strikes on this side having since been reported. late on saturday, the russian m. o g called on the soldiers to lay down their arms. we appealed to all servicemen 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, while puzzles in residential areas of mario paul, have reportedly stopped on our now confined to the industrialized skirts, ma scuse is the remaining nationalist a's off battalion forces are surrounded up the steel plumps from $400.00 foreign mercenaries from european states and canada are said to be among them. russia claims radio intercepts indicate kids authorities, would not allow the soldiers to surrender. ukrainian president loving mercer lensky said campbell,

abundant all peace talks with moscow. f. russia eliminates ukrainian forces in marty you, bull, who refuse to lead to their arms the destruction of all our guys in merry you, 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 or with fierce fighting in residential areas of mario, coming to an end, the locals have started to bury the innocent victims of the battles. the warning you may find the following image is disturbing. some bodies of local killed by artillery or gunfire still lie in the streets. those who are lucky enough to survive lower force to bury those less fortunate. these pictures show a funeral taking place in a courtyard will say there are countless make shift graves nearby or senior correspondent morocco, steve, who is in mario pull reports now from the territory taken under control by the

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. what a very warm in america give left him and he senra's care. as the children's legend, as a german has been a real, a spreadsheet that has been received, i need to monitor the scribbling nation. warners downscale is a weight of the world. and when you move on the orders to load up what you want to live with along with tuition,

and is that you with plaintiff 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, steak

a labyrinth of tunnels and rooms cumulatively tens of kilometers long. this is where you damien forces made their home while keeping civilians confined to the surface for the duration of the battle. thousands and thousands of credit nationally, as well as so just a few count puddle and boom on the ground. he's a soldier, tried to get out with a civilian as russian forces approached these huge industrial areas. this is, this is where they live in these huge get rooms funks, and they'd have 5 everything, all of their belongings, ammunition weapons. he is a huge amount of bullets. for example, they left to live in a hurry as they tried to link up with allied troops, nationalists in the as of steel complex. but this is one of the reasons why this

battle is taking so long. because so many of the nationalists took a deep on the ground for by story of the ground here and elsewhere. we found extensive stockpiles of weapons and ammunition, among them, things that ukraine claimed it had destroyed. but the biggest thing that we found is the prevalence leaf mom and he close and l live ukraine had claimed years ago to have destroyed it's was thought pulse anti personnel vitally, he having least was sent over to lose the trip. why here, there are plenty more. mon, 90 ukraine claimed to have destroyed these i their minds according to international treaties, the if the thought as you can see,

it had to push toward another more mind with the detonator with the trip. why over that? as well as the stakes to install and full them into the ground to set them up and move in in cities. obviously there are many will traits here, here and elsewhere at the elite factory, but this does q 2 so that you can see when the bow appearances, like when it claim to have destroyed it's mine, anti personnel mines, stop pulse aside as ye personnel minds. we also found a large number of weapons, ammunition and crates delivered from nato member states, javelin miss hall, tubes polish, and bulgaria da munition, 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,

america. thank you. thank you joe biden. he says for these i'm a vehicle tom the again, as i say about a dozen of them just here some in the state of disrepair others. evidently, the sable, perhaps cannibalized for part. nevertheless, these never left on 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 mario palaces, evidently a service dog,

gradient service dog. formerly, she was painted and flew. this is an identifying elephant with nationalism. she now serves the local fights as from, than yet. okay. it's just a daughter that was isn't as i would you, the check book spoke early. the older children, the ones that she showed us because each year started sierra keith. the looks are listed here. we got going or got moreland for several further people. ok, what shows are that? what is it that he thought is lower than what we were the videos from local cards to former bras. understood the cliff at the east? nickelodeon asked harold, visually bitterly. marcella oh i did. it was landscape vision, rosy. so brazil wait for the ball coil woolfolk, this dog. this is the last page of the battle of mary. you pull the siege of

the as of steel and iron works, industrial complex at the heart of the city where thousands of fanatical as off nationalists have fortified. deep under ground to wait for the inevitable assault. more i'd guides the of o t for marry you pool or russian or defense systems were in action on saturday in the border city of belgrade. in response to wealthy m. o t claims was a new cream in strike. and fudge taken by witnesses, you can see russian interceptor rockets and use locals reported to explosions that could be heard in the city center non response to trains alleged actions on russian territory and military facility on the outskirts of kia was targeted. the plants produces anti yourcraft and the anti ship missile systems. the russian defense ministry has found to directly respond to any attack on russian soil room, as you would have to give you the of 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, you look up wasn't a bully. escalate. a response from moscow follows earlier or strikes on the brianne belgrade regions of western russia. ukraine has rejected moscow's claims on it's been carrying detox along the border, accuse russia staging all those incidents on its own territory. the russian investigator committee phase they are strikes were carried out by to combat helicopters equipped with heavy, offensive weapons, leaving at least 8 people, including a pregnant woman and child seriously injured in the shelling this week, rushes defense ministry said the moscow would target tea at school decision making centers, if you crate and keeps talking russian territory, we heard from some locals in the brown screeching in. it's in the plaza this 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. or former united nations weapons inspector scott ritter believes kiev should not shaw the 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, it's 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 of ukraine carrying out attacks on russian soil. there is, there are consequences for your actions. if you train wants to expand the war. i think they shouldn't be surprised when russia escalates it's response. ah ok. another story to bring you to day tens of thousands of people continue to

protest in pakistan after the countries prime minister m ron can was hosted by the parliament in a new confidence would earlier in the month. now take a look at this, an enormous at rally. taking place off the weekend, saturday night pulling in to sunday. that was in karachi, pakistan's largest city, and we're definitely 2 years from partisans. all flag waving supports them with is a google, i'm standing here, jenna pollock, 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 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 are and come to make their voices heard. they have one demand of one demand only,

and that is new elections and run can last a new confidence vote on april 9th, after pakistan's, supreme court said he had broken the law by dissolving parliament in an attempt to prevent the vote from going ahead. the ice did prime minister claims washington is behind his departure. so was eager to see him removed from his post for maintaining an independent foreign policy. a constitutional crisis, though, continues in the cafe with can claiming he remained responsible for keeping pakistani safe from american influence. was gone by this done as former prime minister of pakistan. i am responsible for 220000000 people to not let him 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. while the newly elected prime minister, shibel sharif, is not new to top level politics. having served this head of the punjab reached on 3 occasions before being arrested on money little drink charges,

his brother was prime minister to before he was found guilty of concealing assets in 2017. the white house already warmly welcomed 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 besides international pressure. there's also international support for account with germany's pakistani community gathering outside the u. s. consulate in frankfort to rally. he's a quote of the former p. m, against what they believe to be american intervention in pakistan. will research fellow at the university of law horace obtain med. dar believes enron counts political views on the development of his country. just we're not serving u. s. foreign policy aims from this room. ron pon said that he has been, you know,

threatened to a letter by the united states that the, the park is on establishment must for the a minus when policy will be, do not want to see him, ron con, as a prime minister, arkansas. 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 of 2021. when statesman and the director or see a 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 pockets on being true because he knew what was coming. northern european, the stability would be jeopardized if finland, unsweetened join nato. not the warning from the russian foreign ministry after both

knew where the country said they 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. earlier, moscow also 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 european, next slave of leningrad in order to quote, restore the balance rushes repeatedly argued. nature expansion goes against the security concerns. something highlighted during talks before the conflict and ukraine had begun,

but was ignored or dismissed by western powers. during the cold war, sweden and finland along with austria, ireland and switzerland decided not to turn any political, military alliances. however, in the 1900 ninety's, those neutral states became a part of new soon in partnership for peace program, which allows them to cooperate militarily with the block, with our taking up at full membership, the governments of sweden, austrian, okay, things have changed to events in ukraine and reconsidering their position. here's what the finland leader as well, had to say recently. 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 legally and exit crimea. there is no other way to have security guarantees done under nato's deterrence and common defense as guaranteed by date of article 5. meanwhile, in sweden,

riots erupted in the city of already brew on friday as far left contour pro tester slash with police head of a planned extremist right wing demonstration. the protest turned on objects thrown and a police vehicles torched the tighter demo up and in response to a far right rally where it was plan of the muslim holy book, the koran would be burned. the event featuring anti muslim danish politician rasmus pollutant and his party hardline. i've been banned from me. well to discuss all that, let's speak to economist and publisher of the vert shelf the actual business newsletter doctor. i care to see you today on that. the 1st point clashes and violence in sweden like a clearly a lot of the vision on the streets between communities,

between ideologies. why is that happening? i think because the people don't want to be put on one side. it is pretty dangerous. if you're neutral, you are always, you're always the benefit of the doubt that you can withdraw. but if you are now going to one site, especially a site that is pretty fast moving forward towards the russian board, us and who is very supportive in the ukranian mass. very dangerous for the people. and of course they don't want to be present. we had ages and ages of peace and we had ages of good feeling next to russia or next to you, euro and people don't want to lose it. and now, while going into the nato,

or thinking of going into the nato, everything changes the threat will be, will increase. and of course, the pressure from the ne, to, to push the country against their neighbor, russia will increase to that's what we see everywhere. and of course, people don't want this. yeah, considering russia in part undertook a military operation over at ukraine's pushed to join. neither are you surprised both sweden and finland are now considering joining up finland, of course. sure is a huge border with russia as well. i think that the personal corruption of politicians, politicians go further than the interests of the countries. i think they are so well above and into the international networks, the politicians that they don't dare not following what then networks. so one of them,

i think this is the main issue of this thing and that's what we see in many, many of our countries to in some country at. busy follows so really change like in pakistan and other countries smoothly like in a trance on where people are much more opening to these networks. russia said it'll need to rebalance security, see if the countries join nato. what do you think that would mean in practice? are we looking at a potential nuclear standoff here? how serious could this potentially get? yes we, we are facing to a new cold war and there are many forces within the need to who desired this cold war for ages already. donald trump wanted to eliminate the need to because of this because he didn't want to have the cold war situation against the functionaries and barracks, in the ne, do they love the cold war situation?

because it gives them exceptional power within the nato countries. so it is not only against russia, it is very much against the own population within the nato countries too. and don't forget that the us and the nature empire as color see, and they need to increase the power against the people while the system is competing. so that's why i think it's we man finland, thinking of joining this native because they all face the same ican on the problems and it has nothing. it is against the own people. it's are mainly against the own people and not against the others outside. and that's what we see everywhere, especially germany harsh, just to touch on a final aspect of this on named american officials say that the countries will be able to join nato this summer. do you think that feasible? with the yes one said so they can join because the u. s. is basically determining

whatever happens of the nato. they have not only the veto they, they just, they just call what's, what's off there. and of course, they could join immediately if the americans want them at the minute they need to every, every more partner the americans can get to, to defend dollars system is very welcome and every new member in the nature who is willing to pay 2 percent of g d, p for the bureaucrats as is very welcome for this organization of course. so for the organization of the americans, i think they, they want them in as quick as possible. and maybe the they, they got the, the functionaries in finland and sweden so far that they are now willing to, to join. and they just needed an excuse for their own population to, to force that population number to control the ukrainian masses.

the reason for it is excuse for it, but i think this has been planned for, for ages. now what just stop during the trump era who didn't want to escalate the tensions he wanted to de escalate all the tensions and we were reset that with the biting regime. it is a huge shift in international politics, but of course you're right. it's a new cold war era, then the thoughts of economists on publisher, dr. i k hummer. think the head of the european commission said the e u is considering a 6th round of russian functions which will potentially target the energy sector, including the oil industry. that is after law, we're putting earlier slums from nations for delaying their payments for russian energy. they had received the mendoza's whoop a flood. you're a failure in the payment of export supplies of russian energy resources, banks from unfriendly countries delay the transfer payments. i remind you,

the task is 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. yeah, just some background on not a run. a month ago, the russian president ordered the states companies to switch to payments in rubles for russian energy resources. the decision was met with a huge bike level, the west, which accused moscow of breaking contracts and circumventing sanctions up to now there's been no agreements among member states on bonding russian, oil and gas. latimer putting also stress that on embargo on russian energy resources. well, primarily heads european citizens but 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 consumers 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, constantly talking about refusing russian supplies, which further destabilizes the market and inflates prices themselves, primarily for their citizens. and the austrian chancellor has said his country will only be able to abandon russian gas in a few years from now that size earlier the head of germany's federal at neck work agency that said the agency which overseas, the countries energy needs at claimed that if russian gas supplies are cut by berlin. germany's reserves will only last until the autumn, former austrian foreign minister current can i so 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 national i station confiscation of russian property. we can't imagine i would say the ultimate outcome. you can see how pressure is filled up against germany was in the european union. it's not only from us, 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 resigns to the fact that it has to agree on their self imposed oil and gas embargo by the european
