official bulletins and i will ensure who is a all respective i call on the 10 presidential candidates on the $38.00 political policies to respect and declare publicly that they will respect the official results but doubts, link or institutions loyal to the president have not allowed a 1000000 so then as well and so broad to register and vote. it's also board the opposition, primary winter, money equity, no much total from running yet poll show for replacement. former diplomat, edmondo gonzales has an advantage of at least $25.00 points. the opposition some state has the best chance it's had in here in next year. we have denounced for a long time, but these electrons are not transparent noncompetitive, but we also believe that the vote we reaffirm the overwhelming wave of the people the election is testing model is appropriate on power. and so the right that movie

and the less what we've seen the signals from some sports people that are different from what we had heard previously saying the results will be recognized and that they will respect the result as and that is precisely what the entire country wants to hear, but last week, my brutal war and that if you were not re elected the country could face a blood bath, leading both venezuelans at home and abroad on edge catchy a little bit of a yan couches here. and jerry, me now is laura did, she's the director for venezuela at the washington office on latin america research and advocacy organization. and she comes to us live from washington dc. very a good day laura. good to have you with this. let's start with, you know, how from u. s. foreign policy perspective. how is the us looking at this election? could we see a lifting of sanctions and how do they feel about that? the fact so opposition leader

a thank you so much for this interview. the us has been engage with the negotiations apparel over negotiations to the formal negotiation process that was established in 2021 as well. memorandum of understanding between the venison and government and the opposition. the us has been in those negotiations the elephant in the room, and they have conducted caroline negotiations with moto and granted some incentives through sanctions really back in october of last year in order to allow for this elections to take place despite the signature of the barbie disagreement in october of 2023. the conditions that were established there, not, not all of them have been complied with. none the less, the carter center and the un panel of experts continue to be on the ground, which is very important in, but some other conditions have not been met. for example, the um, uh, the,

the main cabinet. it might be equity number tow. she remains band and therefore she could not register as a candidates, but benefit funds have remained committed and our voting today for a move. the child is rubia. the candidate from the opposition. right, i'm a talk just a little bit more about the, the platform that they are running on and, and, and how is it resonating with the voters in venezuela right now the, i think that everybody is not only in the international community, but also infinisource that are very clear that there's some additions for the elections are not free or fair. nonetheless, again, we'll have remain committed to participating. up until right now, 2 pm. the conditions have been good. people have been participating in a peaceful manner. there are some reports of detentions, and as you were showing before, some conflicts in,

in different centers. but those are very limited up until this point. the main concern right now that everybody is waiting to see what happens is after the closure often polling stations in a 60 and then how long is it gonna take for the national electro council, which is the electro little feel ready to make a decision or to to publish the results and to give the information of how this process has been taking. yeah. right now, the incumbents at my door has come out publicly and said that he will accept the result. if ladonna, however, stays in power, what would that mean for the country and for the people venezuela of the, under the conditions of this election, they're taking place. this would create a very complicated situation for the international community. they will not need to make a decision on whether they recognize of or not the result, acknowledging all the obstacles that i had mentioned before. not only that,

but if you take a look at the polling, there are reports that go from 12 percent up until 30 percent of the population that said that if motor stays in power, they would leave the country. the situation right now in vanessa and that is very dire, and that's what and experience is experiencing a complex humanitarian emergency, which of course explains the lack of popularity from equal ass motel. and this can create a very complicated situation as well for other countries in the region for, for young. yeah, that it has received around 37 percent of the migraines from venezuela, but also to the us and to that extent. so you end is also interested in having a peaceful and democratic solution to the situation in minnesota because it could also impact its own interest. right. laura de, the director for venezuela at the washington office on latin america. thank you. thank you.

the is really prime minister benjamin that now has met with the security cabinet to discuss the response to an attack in northern israel on saturday. israel blames the lebanese, the armed group are hospitalized for the rocket attack and the occupied go on hearts which killed 12 people. the west has also said that hezbollah was responsible, but the group has denied any involvement. they not hold reports from the roots a little bit, those 7 years simultaneous strikes in multiple locations across southern lebanon. isabel said it targeted as well as weapons to oppose an infrastructure and a message, but not the response promise site as well for the rocket to attack that killed civilians in the is really controlled syrian occupied colon heights late on saturday. and the terrible tragedy innocent boys and girls,

it breaks your heart and i tell you his bullet is responsible for this and they will pay. the price has ballade denied carrying out the strike, but as well as unconvinced saying the mass casualty incident was the most significant event since october 7. it is really military also said it is conducting investigations as to why it's air defense failed to intercept the rockets while others question whether the incident was the result of a malfunction in the rent. on monday that i want to remind everyone that this area was targeted by rocket attacks 5 times in the last 10 months. this is not the 1st time. yes, this time is the hardest one, isn't hit the football field while we had a football game as well. and as well have been largely calibrating their attacks in the past 10 months to prevent what is largely limited confrontation from expanding

as well as response will determine the trajectory of this conflict. will it stick to the unwritten rules of engagement and focus on military targets? what has will i be able to absorb this strikes without the need to retaliate? further escalating? the war of attrition? senior is really officials have been quoted as saying the response will be strong, but not one that ignites all out toward the conflict between long time and it means has reached a tipping point, a dangerous one. so i know who their l should see though. they don't, as i said, the vague is in b routes with more on the latest is really strikes is really has hard that server, the stripes on southern the front, but also a drone strike on eastern level on routes tend to building was hit. but there are no casualties, no reported casualties. now here's what they have said that they've talked. it is where the positions i to is, right, the settlement. now the situation here is somewhat tense. now the liberties, foreign minister do the fun have beef has said that the liberty of government has

spoken to the united states urging restraints from israel. but he's also said that the united states has passed the message to the liberties government urging them to tell his results. also show restraint and he has said that the significance attacked by israel would be to reasonable. will that people here do think that this is a tipping point because of what's taking today's, our own eyes on israel, about where they will attack, who they will attack and what and if that would need to an escalation that both sides have said that they don't want to put up prepared for it to attention. ah hi, in the middle east, a line say one of the main carriers here in lebanon has said that they have the light delayed some of the flights, so that they don't learn to late at night during the hours of the morning. knowledge of their have spoken to the chairman, but how much of that is i'm and he says that's because of the situation and the tension here and living on at the moment. so right now,

own eyes on israel and what they will do next. i said vague, i just data base route living on and more now on the is really air strikes on lebanon with our correspondence. honda. so who's a reminder? she is indo because israel's government has banned and deserved from reporting inside the country to be is really government. the security cabinet is convenient to discuss exactly what the next course of action is going to be prime minister benjamin netanyahu cut his trip short from the united states to arrive back in his role to convene the security and defense establishment as soon as he arrived. so what they're discussing is what exactly they're going to do next. last night we heard from his rules, defense minister, you'll have kalonde, who said that they have chosen a couple of options, but now they're going to discuss to see what is the best one for israel. we also heard from me is really military chief of staff, works the whole levy who said that they are, we're preparing their readiness of the,

in the north to the maximum possible level. but this is not a change within is really policy. this is something we have seen before, but look, there's also other external influence is you have the united states who also said they don't want to see this war just last month. they said that israel's air defenses would be overwhelmed and the casualties on both sides of that border would be catastrophic. and israel still definitely know what it's going to be up against when it comes to his bolas weapons arsenal. while these really do have quite a, an advanced system of air defenses, it would be overwhelmed, indicates of an all out war. and while both sides, especially these rallies have said they don't want a larger regional conflict or a full out war. it is something they said that they prepare for. and tyco where i live in is the, your project director for iraq, syria, and lebanon at the international crisis group. and he says, the latest attacks mark a dangerous escalation in a way is what we have to see us for a long time,

or what we have warmed against is not to this tit for tat. that this bottom line is where i have been engaged. and since october, eventually i could meet to a situation where one's or the other side. it's more than what they intend to hit on. it's something that they don't want to intend to. i'd say we have that civilians on, on that to put the side that is it will feel compelled to step up the escalations very significant. okay. i can tell them that and obviously the dangerous thing to how to drive and, and that is the dangerous thing that we may not or that the u. s. to diplomacy in particular, may not be able to control. it's clear that if anybody has leverage over this for any since you're waiting for the slightly, so i'm going to do with everybody. if anybody has leverage it's, it's the us. if this escalates and blows up into a full fledged award, then israel with a need to us support and console for resupply or weapons,

political support and whatnot. and so, um, do you guys have made it very clear previously that they're not interested in this, this kind of thing blowing out. so uh that's, that's what the leverage is. that's what, that's the plan the one way or that to come up with can keep this, perhaps on the control. but the bottom line is, these things will continue to happen, is we will have these are difficult situations with slide it into. the escalation is very hard to, to check. and as long as garza is going on, we need to cease fire and got a lot to stop this from, from potentially exposing another crops. i mean, what is really airstrikes of killed dozens of people in southern gaza over the past 24 hours in hon. eunice and is really attack on a home left 10 post and used it in my where c a so called safe zone,

according to the is rarely mainly military. at least 5 people were killed after 10 sheltering displaced, palestinians was targeted. and the whole day has the latest from there. but in central god, is it still escalating him? the dog, just dripping special names, can eunice, where the is where the forces target to attend. in my while, see the fun beat. also, target is a residential house in the western parts of community. those areas where the signal a safe light is where the forces for more than a week. now policy news who did not manage to evacuate after they've already evacuation or just the eastern new. this are still profit without food walk through medicine and no one could reach them even the civil defense environment, except that they are having a lot of challenges to receive, to go to those area and to recover the bodies. they're also saying that there are dozens of policy new still trapped under the rubber. now they're not only evacuation or just in units, but earlier today,

people in the middle area also receive documentation orders, especially in a good age and in most laid off those palestinians. thoughts of this are, you are safe and that's why they evacuated from different parts of bras. that's also stripped to the middle area. people do not know where to go. they're all squeezed into the middle area and community. we can go through the they can go to the another and parts of the gaza strip. but according to most of the hospital, they receive at least 18 policy news, killed or near today. and most of the hospital is the only hospital facilitating and drop off and can you and is this. so the situation continues to escalate and policy news did not have anywhere to go into committee of the the city. but israel has flat most of gaza and turned homes into rooms. but despite the destruction and bloodshed, palestinians are trying to find ways to make use of what's left. if him actually went to north and gauze as

a storage municipal park and met with palestinians trying to find some joy. i am here stand at the front door does. i'm going to get it to park. it has been a part of our community for almost 100 years, providing a place of peace and joy, or generations. it also has been a safe place for many families, a place where children play memories are made. but the day it's once by a friend at most viewed those a different story. the ongoing war has lift. it's marked here. as you can see, the parts of the bar have been damaged, partially by the occupation. yes, i'm, it is the destruction. life goes on, families does come here to blow off steam despite the ongoing war and god. for many, this part is more than just a re recreation of the area. it's a lifeline. a place where they can limit wintery forget for us. most of the

children experienced a bit of joy and freedom. hannah zane item one says that, and that's why we're here in the park for some relief, trying to forget what's happened to us. but it's in vain, because we can't forget everything we've seen with auto noise, despite the pump being completely destroyed. and despite all the devastation of the siege, kind of forget all the stuff and then the chest. when i come here every day to escape the war, i come here for an hour or 2 to enjoy the views of the trees bracing maybe with showing the other pockets and refugees from our mile and el sabra have arrived. we come here often to escape the shelling. we don't stay long because it's not safe. you know, if not, if checking the we have noticed children come to this car which is partially destroyed, to escape the trauma of the wall and its impact on they will be we have formed a team, gather the children, organize some games and dedicated this place to focusing on children's

psychological needs. we concentrate on what they need and what makes them happy. let me know that it's a powerful system into the spiritual that people here continuing to live life and find joy, even in the hardest times of the municipal parks. sands is a symbol of these islands. this part may be partially destroyed by this periods of the community, remains unbroken. to iran now where masoud the possess gone has been officially confirmed as president and a ceremony with the supreme leader. because this government has also been named his vice president of correspondence, all the harsh i'm has more now from tara, the you're on, has a new president to the supreme, the discomfort i know special ceremony was how much is this? john received his appointment to be signed by it's a lot of these come in

a he then addressed the nation, highlighting his priorities. eat on, you know, the vision of the sonic republic presents iran as a developed country with leading economic, scientific, and technological stature in the region. it is our unity and cohesion that can bring us to our envision to position in homes. you see the ceremony a crucial component of the integration on the score. the supreme lead as role as head of state in confirming the president selection and let think it gets better. what brought you to valuable on some european countries to not treat as well in the past few? yes. you're on can prioritize interaction with europe in states if they give up on such behavior. i also recommend that the government rely on domestic potential, but it doesn't mean nothing engaging with foreign opportunities. senior officials, military commanders and funding diplomats attended the ceremony late president to bring him about you see, what's the problem in an absentee and this is depth and helicopter across last may

lead to the election. the lawyer entered in president. well, how about looking at what's the 4 the handling for? this was the 1st time in the launch that there has been a presidential handles, offers between 2 non kinetics showed the moment for the scan to receive this decree marks the 1st time in 2 decades about their former school edition has become present. but this presents the president that the quote to comp with difficulties how to fulfill the promises to their support as well abiding by their commitment towards the establish the new president lose base of falling and dominated by consecutive. his 1st battle will be to secure confirmation for his new cabinet in his fasting creates business count, appointed reformist lead time for my vice president, for how much was out of as his best deputy. but in the run, it's the supreme leader who has defined those say,

in the countries support and then you create a policies and the new president's choice for to copying it. positions and the actual jersey are different. the u. s. is revamping its military command in japan as the to allies phase where they called the greatest strategic challenge from china. us forces in japan will be placed under a new joint force headquarters to improve the way the to military's operate. the reason i'm comes after russia said it was committed to strength and military ties with north korea, washington and tokyo say they are concerned by what they call an evolving security environment as trying to expands as nuclear arsenal. bruce countries say they will scale up production of weapons like air to air missile systems. and the us secretary of state to anthony blinking says this just strategic, revamping houses there decades long alliance. first,

we agreed to upgrade our respective command control structures, including a new joint forces, have a headquarters to meet the challenges of this moment. second, we held our 1st stand alone ministerial extended to turns demonstrating clearly. in other words, that our iron clad commitment to defend our allies with the full range of our conventional and nuclear deterrence capabilities is fully enforced. 3rd, through a new form of defense, industrial cooperation. we launched, co production of advanced missiles, were leveraging japan's manufacturing capability to collectively produce critical national security technology. and present the final report and it says russia will resume production of intermediates range nuclear weapons at russia's annual naval the parade and st. petersburg. he warned us against deploying missiles in germany

or elsewhere for that matter in europe. prudent says if washington, to pause long range missiles on the continent, moscow will station similar weapons within striking distance of the west. us plans to deploy long range missiles in germany from 2026 to us and they put me in lights, the situation recruits the events of the cold war era associated with the deployment of the american pushing medium range missiles in europe. us implemented such plans. we will consider ourselves free from the previously one solid moratorium on the deployment of medium and show to rank strikes systems today, the development of a number of such systems in its final stages, we will take mirror measures for the deployment taking into account the actions of the us and they satellites in europe and other countries of the world. and also is there as defense editor alex, a good top of us has more in this range of missiles were banned in the cold war. and the treaty was signed by both um premier cooper, charles, and also president ronald reagan in 1987 as

a confidence building measures. these missiles are designed to start the target 16 the quickly. so instead of flying from say, of the continental united states, which would take about 30 minutes, this would be 4 to 10 minutes, giving the enemy hardly any time to react. so, and of course of us putting these missiles were on western european soil. they would nuclear tipped, so we have this whole possibility of this whole shadow of the cold war reappearing . and it's, it's actually the, the truth was put, there was a confidence building measure. but what we're seeing now is the lowering of confidence between the 2 sides and possible responding kind as well. we're going to see intermediate range missiles, probably be putting colleen in grad on also closer and closer to the border. and this is going to have this kind of tit for tat, building up. and what we're going to see is a new race very, very likely, as well as so head here on al jazeera of prison crisis in the democratic republic of congo. we take

a look at the mass release of inmates from overcrowded mcculla trail and they won 4 gold medals in a row team. usa got off to a great start in their pursuit of 5. that's coming up in sports with vera the it had lived there, it's been exceptionally hot across much of the middle east. we've had heater that's out across the event with temperatures have been sitting exceptionally high. and if it wasn't bad enough, being forced from their homes, palestinians in southern cities in gaza have been trying to seek some solace from those high temperatures. at the c side, the temperatures are still sitting very high on monday, across the region, damascus,

seeing 39 degrees celsius to lots of hot and dry conditions as well spreading for the south a car across the gulf. we are expected to see something of a chanel pick up, so we'll talk a little bit dusty, but still very dry across those gulf states through to choose day. and it's very hot and dry across much of northern africa at the moment, with exception high temperatures. in morocco and, oh jerry, much west of, for the south of this look at those down, pause, moving across, but keen of fossa bringing west. so whether to whether do go and reading temperatures down as well. the heavy rain continues to pull across the congos as well. so the south of this launch a hot and dry situation with temperatures well above the average for this time of year for put swan at sandia as well. it is looking cool, however and kate's on, but some improvement by tuesday. the,

this is the 1st to me saw that we see in the real time it's the victims themselves . there's a disconnect between what we are witnessing on social media versus what we're seeing on mainstream. it is always an attempt to frame a 2 sides of them, but there is no 2 sides to this. the western media does have a western bias. understand what they are looking to see out and raise. the listening post covers how the news is covered. once a journey through every story. every step is a narrative, a celebration of what we can choose when to reach the well to submit an extra re designer redesigns luxury leasing, trusting,

else future. today we create the, [000:00:00;00] the welcome back. you're watching as a 0 reminder of our top stories this hour is really forces in the lebanese arm, who has full. i have carried out tips for task attacks. israel's prime minister meets with the security cabinet to discuss the response to a strike in the goal on heights on saturday. israel blames has fall off for that attack in which 12 people were killed and is really airstrikes and southern guys would have killed dozens of palestinians in the last 24 hours is really forces issue new evacuation orders in time units for the 2nd time in palestinian say

there's simply nowhere less to go. as millions of voters are heading to the poles and venezuela to elect their next president presents nicholas my daughter's main arrival as the window. gonzalez has cast his balance in pack us. wonder always seeking another 6 year term, but polls show the opposition is gaining ground. and i want to show you now some live pictures for you as a live look from caucus and you can see their opposition politician maria machado is she's addressing the press. she's expected to cast her ballot so shortly, and it's not best with family 1st. she was barred from running in the selection as a candidate environment doors administration. and she faced a lot of obstacles. campaigning a she's seen as the driving force behind the campaign of edmondo gonzales. so let's get you more on this. so we're going to actually head over to a neighboring a columbia to speak to our other center. and i'm here to,

he comes to us from not both the and the reason of course why we're also talking to you and we see the flags have been is when the flags behind you. because colombia is a country that is hosting millions of events. it will just give us a sense of how they're feeling about this day. the absolute least hundreds of them came out here and what is turning into an early celebration close to the only pulling station in the capital that, that uh for the business where the migrants living here. let me just give you an idea of this being here with the help of our photographer acquiring there is, are a lot of venice swelling flags. a lot of fully to go symbols. people here are convinced that today will be the day in which they will manage to get a political change in the country for a lot of people here. this is also kind of hard to need. and as you can see, people are very excited that no part do anything to show that they support the body

equity, not my child, that they support them. and it's what i know position and their process to try to. i'm the president in the class and my daughter, however, very few of the people that you see behind me, i have been able to cast their votes. that's because registering outside of that and it's it has been very difficult. only 69000 people have been able to register to vote to even if 5000000 venezuelans outside of the country were eligible to do so. and let us under none the less they are. so fired up. i mean, we can see they're behind you. what exactly is at stake for them? what are they telling you? they are in the very fired up for them. everything is at stake at this point about them. their main hope at least the, the majority of the people we talk to is the possibility of going back home, which is something that,

that the opposition i stock the lot during this campaign. the candidate, the salary says the physically that if they, when they will do everything possible to bring thousands of people back in the 1st year of the almost 8000000 people that have fled the countries, the economic and humanitarian crisis. we saw a young kid holding sign saying, graham, i'm hoping to see you very soon. and people with the t shirts saying venezuela, i will be back. so that's really the expectation here. however, it's on clear what's gonna happen later today and who's getting away in the selections. and obviously, as you have said, there is a risk or a lot of people on the opposition. international servers have thoughts about the possibility of fraud of the government trying to sales the election and at their a favor and well president my do to indeed said teddy will recognize whatever

result the video swelling electoral council will present tonight. what he been say that's far is that he well recognizes the fee, and that's something that a lot of people we're talking to your all so about trying to make that difference. so this is a very, very open field open situation. so far we're going to have to see what happens next steps. feeling though, is that whatever will happen is that to tomorrow, starting on monday, then it's what i will be in a different political situation here. and if my brutal manages, just stay empower because we have seen kind of precedents that sort of social movement coming out, demanding change in the country. usually consequential election of a sound, a rupture. i don't get to you for forwarding from. but with that, thank you so much. i and the protesters have taken to the streets of lima as peru marks its independent states. a small group of demonstrators attempted to

approach congress were present to the dean of what it is speaking, but were blocked by hundreds of officers, are demanding justice for those killed and injured during unrest and late 2022. following the ousting of former president took the castillo. many are calling for president for the work day to step down as well. she's been in the world and corruption scandal, but has maintained her innocence and have yeah, the folks that joins us now. he's a peruvian historian and journalist. he comes to his life from london. so we're good to have you with this. i understand that you've been listening in as president of the not, but what they delivers her address to the nation. give us your take what. what did you make of it so far? well, 1st of all, she made a total against uses. dina, speaking has been there for half an hour and a half of full members of companies have left on the 40 minutes to have you had with us. i just wanna make sure it wasn't supported, falling asleep,

long catalog of a leg is a cheapest, which i know most co dig stuck who carries out without needing such. um, so we ration for the president. her approval rating is 5 percent. congress rating a 4 percent approval, which is very, very low. as you can see, as you mentioned before, they can put this in peru in lima. it's only yesterday, one of the prosecutors losing charges, investigating violation of human rights between the end of 2022 are nearly 50. think the pre completed that the 29 people who are they were killed. what do you? because the army used what they should have used on the old, the oldest came from the very, very top it which in the very president of she's also occlusal college because of corruption, for we see renewals in exchange of increasing the budget for the region of a government email, your quote, you and yourself east or through. so speech, which is very long. she's being

a part of the describing the small mindful project. so like punching street some building a couple of course people. however, she said that there was being a reactivation of the economy, where, but i'm just choose being a small girl. so 2 to 3 percent of the economy. however, they were supposed to have gone up, which means that these girls have to have been, if you did the most of the poor, his members or peruvian societies. on the one hand you have to purchase a living in a kind of bible. i'm actually describing hold the said cheapness of a government of the same as she's not at a meeting, any responsibility whatsoever in the repression. but give 49 people in a, in the corruption to expand their book. she's involved in very highly cuz they go up to the scandals. so we were talking about 2 different countries, according to the protests they called to the north of this move forward you on the quote is that she seems to describe us a kind of part of dice in, in, in the america salt lake on trusting a message between the highest beach on what people is feeling for people for we are feeling on the streets of lima,

on the parts of the world of the country. right. i mean, so a bitterly divided country that you described there. i mean, it's quite fascinating. i mean, she's been in battles now for what you know, since the end of 2022, arguably that she is still in power. oh, provides her the back in the supports a homeless now working together on these to conduct them. you see the people who are typing the money early elections, they want to election for we do this year or the latest or the 2025. there will be just a moment to show that election in 2026 people have been demanding election, but another congress, another person will want to be power because you've those a, the election of many members of the congress at the moment could not be what's done because of the law, which means that the congress wants to keep the position empowered onto print, to print the seats, and to helping support in the prints. and the president has left it because congress passed to both of these meet each other to survive in power. dudley's,

the reason why she's to steal that people's focus is steve support. but again, as i said to you reputable also help said the owners of 44 percent of all but popular. we did. she has 5 percent of applied just one seniors. the executive on, on the blizzard, the beach, that just that they've, you know, congress something up to the people who want change. but people are still demanding the election. but the only way that they approve can move forward to a better future. because at the moment people like steam you're happy to over because their lives have gone up the patients as opposed to still on this a lot of lot of intuitive relation to the weight, the on forces behavior, i think protested in 2020 to 2023 so that is what's happening, they need each other, they read each other's, it needs. and that's why it's it, and we're not, this is steve where she is now. have yet uh 5 say peruvian historian andrew and was talking to us from london. thank you for your time. my pleasure.

the twig rebels and the northern molly say they've killed and injured dozens of soldiers and russian mercenaries all fighting is believed to have taken place on the outskirts of the town of sousa watson near the border with algeria. videos and social media showed intense fighting, and molly's military pointer turned to russia's wagner mercenary group for security assistance. after expelling french forces in 2022, whether to word or an ethnic group who have been fighting for independence, says 20 to 11. i want to share is a, is the principle of highness a defense intelligence company and insurance has no life on board though. in france a good day, sir. what does this attack reveal? anything. so the subject is significant in the sense that it's the 1st time in

molly, that's a fact and there are forces. so for this kind of loss is, the points of the effect does not get fully clear, but apparently the effective base over several days starting on the 25 july. then until the 22nd of july, the, the, whether there was a sense to which presented the molly and military from britain delivery support apparently. and so apparently it was a succession of issues. and our awesome infections, which resulted in significant loss supplied from the volumes and there the back nature of the significant significant number of died in their personal set up using devalues photos and food. tasty on the social media shows that this was a call in which consists of a large number of these uh, russian mercenaries and the fact that they were so significantly it's and well, it's not really clear who survived. what's relatives of the military detachment

survive. it's significant in that it's a major issue. the biggest defeats apparently that's sudden they're a suffering molly and it happens all the time where the 13 of 5. so in each year we try to other member states, something new sales data lines are turning to russia to provide a, in the case of root canal. so mercenaries as well contractures to support their efforts in the security field sites. it's not exactly a, a great signal for wagner to face these kind of a fluffy is just now. yes, it's quite significant because of course, you know, molly's military junta turned to rushes. wagner a group, or after expelling the french forces in 2022. so, you know, what does this mean now? well it's, it's a little unclear this particular defeat uninstalling is unlikely to rock the entire

us to make it even more power. you, molly, but that it's, it's an important fact, particularly because uh, the molly in the mountain government as well as a lot of the social media you few answers are, be not pushing these narrative that the russians were doing the job that the french could not do and well, whether it's differential european forces, they never suffered the kind of defeats that we see here. we've captures lots number of data and, and significant loss of the equipment as well. so each, the, it's a signal that the, the me, at least around 5 in there. and it's supposed to a military pro as does it as being the case actually squash. right? and i mean, has it impacted wagner is a um, you know, campaign in the central region and especially, i mean,

do we know anything more about the wagner casualties as well? for now it's, it's really unclear. first of all, because on the one hand, the tour eggs of this used climbing to run the entire tax with at the same time, then i am which is a collection of terry's group. switching to the i'll tell you the stomach, my grad are also claim involvement. in the talking of the least pictures of the equipment captured. so we, we, we don't have a full view of the sequence of this. what is clear is that there were a large number of captors me, the tory revenue. so you can going as far as smith decides that these captors will be treated according to the geneva conventions, respectively. and uh, as that's a health care will be provided easily need and we've single so dead. and we just the, they may be disappeared. personnel who, it's not just be where they are. so it's what's, seems to be the consensus that we're looking at several 1000. you can see some

reports mention up to 80 dead it's, it's a little early to know for sure. the volume, nearly 3 as fully recognized that the close to soldiers. and since then, as i mentioned, the average of casualties, but does not go as far as to disclose how many casualties they're able to recognize that they are the helicopter damage. however, pictures the surfaces on social media suggest that somebody come to me, i'd be destroyed, i mean, after a heavy landing. so it's still a little early to know for sure what kind of flossing is the scope of the seats in terms of dead prisoners and such right around the shows. the thank you so much for speaking to us, greatly appreciate it. thank as a group of 420 prisoners has been released from one of the many overcrowded prisoners in the democratic republic of congo. or the move comes after images of
