Mariupol under siege – Putin orders Ukraine fighters to surrender

“Fierce and bloody combat” continues at the Azovstal steel plant in Mariupol, as Russian President Vladimir Putin says Ukraine’s remaining fighters should surrender

Moscow has previously pledged a three-day ceasefire to allow civilians to escape the complex, but there are reports Russian soldiers are preventing this from happening.

The port city of Mariupol remains Russia’s key objective as the nation’s annual May 9 Victory Day celebration approaches.

Ticker News spoke with National Security Reporter Jack Detsch who says Russia’s military is cracking under pressure.

Meanwhile, the United Nations and International Committee of the Red Cross have also launched a third operation to resume evacuations.

The UN’s Secretary General says “nearly 500 civilians have found relief after living under relentless shelling”.

In the US, Pentagon Press Secretary John Kirby was frank… saying Russia has made “some small progress, particularly in the north part of the Donbas” region of Ukraine.

But, despite these gains, the US still believes the small progress is not the progress Russian forces “expected to make at this point”.

Kirby also says while the US aims to assist Ukraine with battlefield intelligence, the nation does not participate in the targeting decisions which are ultimately made by Ukrainian forces.

Multiple Australia-Bali flights cancelled as Mount Lewotobi Laki-Laki erupts again, disrupting travel for the second time in two months.

In Short:
International flights between Australia and Bali have been cancelled again due to the recent eruption of Mount Lewotobi Laki-Laki in Indonesia. This marks the second eruption in two months.

Multiple return international flights between Australia and Bali have faced cancellations following the recent eruption of Indonesia’s Mount Lewotobi Laki-Laki volcano. It marks the second time in as many months that volcanic activity has disrupted travel plans for passengers heading to the popular tourist destination.

Observations from drones showed lava filling the crater, indicating deep movement of magma that set off volcanic earthquakes.

“An eruption of that size certainly carries a higher potential for danger, including its impact on aviation,” Mr Wafid told The Associated Press.

“We shall re-evaluate to enlarge its danger zone that must be cleared of villagers and tourist activities.”

Flight delays

“Some Virgin Australia Bali services have been cancelled following the eruption of Mount Lewotobi earlier today,” a Virgin Australia spokesperson said.

“The safety of our guests and crew is our highest priority and our team of expert meteorologists are closely monitoring the situation and ash cloud activity.

“We regret the impact of this on guests’ travel plans and encourage guests travelling to or from Bali to closely monitor their flight status via the Virgin Australia website or app.”

Qantas flights QF43 from Sydney and QF45 from Melbourne to Denpasar, Bali have been delayed.

Bali, known for its stunning landscapes and cultural attractions, relies heavily on international tourism, particularly from Australia. With flight cancellations, many are left scrambling to adjust their itineraries or seek alternative destinations. The situation has put a spotlight on the challenges that natural events can pose to the tourism sector.

Authorities in Indonesia are working to assess the situation and manage the impact of the volcano’s activity. Updates on travel advisories and safety measures are expected to be communicated to the public as conditions evolve.
