break off. it's good to have you with this, we begin tonight with a diplomatic route over the arrest here in germany of 2 suspected russian spots. the german russian dual nationals were detained in the bavarian city of by roy this week. now they are accused of planning to sabotage. german military support for ukraine. authorities say the us military bases here in germany. we're also talking to graphing through a military base in bavaria. this is he where american soldiers train ukrainians, how to use bottle tanks. and it was according to speak, a magazine, the prime focus for one of the main, arrested on suspicion of plotting an act of sabotage. we had, oh, is security services have prevented possible bummed attacks intended to damage and

undermine our military assistance to ukraine? this is especially serious espionage case for putting this criminal refreshing to put in surplus, charging the german russian nationals named only as alexander j, u n e r s. were arrested on wednesday. i'm brought here to the federal court of justice for questioning them item the be accused one of the detainees of having agreed to commit x of sabotage in germany, especially against military infrastructure and industrial sites. here, in preparation for this action, the suspect had already scouted out several potential targets. and according to our findings, he had passed on the information he had gathered to russian intelligence and was a hindrance. and the prosecutors have also charge deter, asked with being a member of a terrorist organization. they believe the fault for the poor russian separatist

army. the next people republic, around 2015. that means that someone who lives among blacks, normal german citizens who. busy participated in that kind of criminal exec. ready as many years ago, obtain some special trainings, it had the connections to the russian military and specifically to g review and came back and without being, you know, detected as the fretful, the national security. so this is disturbing of the crowd, lynn has so far denied any knowledge of the suspects, but the foreign ministry in berlin has summoned the russian and busted uh to explain himself more now when to bring in our russian affairs analysts constantine eager constancy. and it's good to see you. what more can you tell us about these 2 suspects? what do we know? what we know very little about. so i can tell you, brent, i think this is a very, very important i don't want to use the word sensational,

but very important investigation and arrest because it's not only at least judging by the federal prosecutor's office, was itself only about spewing osh that was normal and that dates back to, you know, the case of the cold war. it seems about the actual acts of sabotage, the plan to at least people trying to facilitate. i'm not at all surprised that these people have some kind of, evidently, with 2 possible. it's some kind of sort of you to a russian. well post on the trial, that's a big role. they are real, they're both about 40 years of age. so that means would probably be brought to germany. i suspect. so we don't know as a lot of them as children, there are hundreds of thousands not more than the medium sized people in germany. and it is a loss. and very proficient crowned c, the s b, all the russian foreign cultures. and did you, are you the ministering colleges to recruit people,

especially that was what are the key no money in for some reason do not integrates . and i'm dissatisfied with that. like, yeah, what you described here is it's verbal ground tearing in germany for the russian secret service. i'm wondering, has germany grossly under estimated the reach of the kremlin here in germany when it comes to, you know, i guess convincing people to turn against germany or when it comes to changing public opinion here in germ as well. frankly, brent, i think it's, it was vastly underestimates. it's uh for at least have most of the posts. so the period my own experience is that i'm a people from a very boss came in germany. that's a big promo scope proposition. and i think some of them probably were ready to be at least very helpful to the russians that these people range from a high level, the ability to read it,

go students that dislike natal to german businesses to the form of g d. r comments. i mean, there are also people in germany that can be both recruited to the rocks and pools and a loss. i do not think of this visit. i think it really consensus that the german states and the jo, secure services did not pay enough attention to these russian networks. i would recommend a book published by a previous research drill law school. gemini, is russia probably right before the full scale invasion, which depicts these, uh, these extremely bossed networks of a crumbling of files. and as you said, it is a piece of ground for recruitment them to infiltrate, to in way, when you describe me also pre dates the more in ukraine, how best would you say that this network of russian spies in germany, how bass visit? so it's pretty like that brent uh, the spice. i don't know,

it's fully just security services and full, the nato allies to figure out, i mean, i suspect are quite a few. it's big country molded a medium people, one of the key interest to the russian intelligence. what i can testify, including my own experience, for example, tutoring. i belong to mind and ability. i met extremely profound. tim and americans who jump, there's the crowds who think that americans window lives. i also told 2 people on the left, we ok, so i am time made to that for their putting is like a savior. so i think the problem of these ideas sprayed spread widely, different segments of the gen sante is a loss very, very, so i think the full scale invasion. i did change a lot of months in germany. that's very good. but basically, it had to be paid with you printing blog this conversion. i got one question for you beyond germany, before we run out of time news today,

that of poland is the rest of the man suspected of helping russian military intelligence in a plot to assassinate ukraine's president of the does this news, does it surprise you as it does it bits to some extent because of clothes that are much smaller pro, ration networks, imposing buttons to be seen during the rest of the recent election. there are and tell you, painful, says raising their head in a poland. so in a sense, also it is a metro and a substitute look uh, pulled up is a bunch of people of supplies of ammunition to reprint. what's the weapons reason, nothing without having an issue. and it seems that the russians are paying more and more attention to that. and of course, you can always find in any culture you can find greedy people or people who can basically blackmail to work for you. so i think that's not what we see is condensed russian interest in weston, a trustful quarter of those and production facilities that good or we supply you.

great, and i think we'll see probably suspect the last more such cases in several of these in europe and probably german russian analysts, konstantin exits. konstantin as always, we appreciate your time in your analysis. thank you. thank you. all right, let's take a look now and some of the other stories that are making headlines around the world . the facade of copenhagen's, historic own stock exchange has collapsed these days, after fire destroyed much of the building. their injuries reported workers are still fighting to put out the last of the flames at the side. it called fire on tuesday. indonesia has issued a su nami warning as a volcano repeatedly erupt. mount wrong, sped out a column of ash 3 kilometers high, accompanied by lightning bolts. thousands of people have been evacuated. airports have been close, palestinian photographer mohammed seller, has won the world, press the photo of the year award. the photo depicts

a palestinian woman holding the body of her 5 year old niece after she was killed. by end is rarely striking. garza drew reset. the photo was taken with respect and care, but showed on imaginable loss with the world's biggest selection is about to get underway. was almost a 1000000000 people in india eligible to vote, indian prime minister and arrange for moody and his hindu nationalist, b g p party. they're aiming to secure a 3rd 5 year term in the world's biggest democracy. the main challenger is a network of 27 opposition. parties are known as the india alliance of this party includes the congress part centered on the neighboring guntee family, which is already given india 3 prime ministers. voting and the selection will last 6. we are responding shortly on the deli told me why india is

boating over 6 weeks instead of just doing it all in one day as well. brands because it's a vast country with the was largest population. and like i said at the beginning of the segment, that almost a 1000000000 people are eligible to vote. so you can imagine it's amount of stuff to organize for them to go to pose of purely because of a security. i'm logistical reason reasons about 1500000 election workers have been tasked with taking these electronic voting machines to the people. and they do that by road, by trades, by helicopters, sometimes on horseback and on news. they've even checked to the heights of the himalayas and really try to us tightens up to get to the voters so that totally so that they can exercise their democratic right to vote. now that said to answer your question of it has been discussions in india about holding elections old for the whole nation on a single day. in fact, the prime minister movie has also batted for the same,

saying that india is almost always in the election mode. sometimes on state level, sometimes on local body level and it sort of slows down the base of governance of the country. but he hasn't been able to bring all parties on the same page with him on this. we we heard in that report that the prime minister, mr. moody, i think he enjoys an approval ratings around 80 percent, which most politicians with leaders would dream about. what's his appeal? what draws so many people to as well, he just comes across as this o bay or for it to have a strong man that's really works for the mazda is here, according to a recent appeal research center study, almost 8 and 10 indians have a very favorable view of the prime minister of the country. he's writing high not just on the economic success of the country in the recent past, but also on fulfilling one of his biggest promises. for instance,

the most recent one being a building a temple for lord john was the most reveal date is in the religion of hinduism and him to his mind to our 80 percent of india as a vote based. so that's really works for him. also another factor i think that works for him is a seemingly weak opposition that just hasn't managed to, to, uh, you know, lead to as scared as magic as his brain is. and so when people go to the polling place and they make their decisions, what will be the main issues, the main questions that will influence their but one of the 2 main things that have been coming up and we've been speaking to the people up, you know, when we've attended who's valleys in the recent past, unemployment and inflation, the price size has really been felt uh by engines in the, in commodities in the last few months. and in years. another team that has come up is unemployment, especially amongst the youth of this country. brent in 2014,

when 5 minutes to more they came to power. he promised millions of jobs for the youth of this country. and they are, they formed a more than half of this population. so you can imagine it's a big concern for them. yeah, corresponded to charlotte. you're dogs giving us a good primer on the world's biggest election, which is about to begin in india. charlie, thank. this is a reminder to all of our top story. germany have some of the russians in baset or over the rest of june suspected spice, the washing and german dual nationals were detained in bavaria. there it keeps defaulting sabotaged attacks aimed at disrupting military support for the crate. which of the w news will leave you now with a new arrival at a 0 north of london? they may be southern white by no, it's only one of 16 pounds left into work. so you would get it the company on the
