9:00 pm
ah, i know, covering all of latin america for most of my career, but no country is alike, and it's my job to shed light on how and why lou this is al jazeera. ah, hello and welcome. i'm pete adobe. you're watching the news, our lives from doha coming up in the next 60 minutes. 50 years after a bloody sunday, northern ireland remembers one of his darkest moments. and families of those shot dead by the british army, still demand justice. i was robbed of father. i still must, may father. i wish i had a fowler was after you all my upbringing photos go to the polls in portugal,
9:01 pm
snap election, but a clear winner seems unlikely. america was delegation holds talks with burkina faso as military rule loose after suspending the country from its rex and his fort raphael at al has pulled off an epic title. when the austrian opened, after more than 5 hours of play, he beat them. i could have to secure a record of 21st grand slams. ah. the northern island people had been mocking the 50th anniversary of the bloody sunday killings when british soldiers shot dead 14 unarmed protests. it was one of the darkest moments of what became known as the troubles of violent conflict lasting more than 30 years. families of those killed gathered for a memorial service is not a baba. the walking in the footsteps of the victims half
9:02 pm
a century own people of all ages walked through london dairy as others had done on this day, 970, to carry the thing together to remember, the 13 people shot dead by british troops and the 14th victim who died later, all the march new jerry was for civil rights demanding an end to discrimination against the majority catholic community in northern ireland. and to the recently introduced policy of internment without trial ended in an atrocity. when members of the british army parachute regiment fired more than a 100 live rounds at unknown civilians. the half of those killed were teenagers. most of the british army leaders at the time and the 1900 seventy's had experience in kenya in cyprus, in the middle east and aiden. now yemen so, so there are attitude towards the people they confronted on body sunday was very
9:03 pm
much formed by those kinds of emergencies. and initial government report largely exonerated the paratroopers and british authorities. but in 2010, the extensive several inquiry found that the victims were unarmed and posed no threat. and the soldiers commander had violated his orders. prime minister david cameron, apologized for the unjustified and unjustifiable killings. bloody sunday led to a surgeon recruits to the provisional irish republican army or i r a which led the alms campaign. trying to force british troops and police out of northern islands society. we read the terrible what happened because the conflict which was only and just asian sort of periods, even up to up to the ultimate you. 71, became worse exacerbated. and i would say to hundreds of thousands of people lost their lives because of money sunday. you know,
9:04 pm
more than 3 and a half 1000 people were killed in the troubles, the 3 decades of violence involving republican power, minute trees, loyalist or british power militaries, and the british army. tirelessly. across the decades you have toil to clear your loved ones names. last year, british prosecutors announced the new british soldier, charged with murder would not trial. and the u. k. governments pushing legislation that according to its critics, amounts to an amnesty for all killings during the troubles, including by security forces. miko many of those who lost loved ones on bloody sunday. say they're still fighting for justice alone. that park. the dean baba al jazeera. ok, let's talk to kevin mcdermott, he's a journalist. he was a witness to bloody sunday when he was a child. he joins us from dublin. kevin, welcome back to al jazeera. how did the events of 50 years ago change northern ireland and change the trajectory of the troubles?
9:05 pm
well as your reports, that the troubles were in their gestation stage, and indeed at the time of 971. for very much concentrated on reforming that or the government and getting civil rights for all communities in the north. but after the sunday, the whole trajectory changed. it became an international conflict. it became a conflict to get rid of in or not. but the day to destroy the mountain state, it's probably the most 7 event that took place between 969 and 973. he was 7 years old, 50 years ago today. what's your enduring memory of it? the memory, the 6 of me, the most is after that march, it ended in the killing colona. but the 1st time in the policy dredge meant returned to their base which was outside our family homes. i was playing in my bedroom as a 7 year old child, naturally with the curtains open because no child draws curtains. and i had shown from the darken street, because before the march, the parachute regiment had climbed the top of the armored cars since my start the
9:06 pm
street lights, so there will be no light on them. and when i opened the window, the commander shut it off to me, switch off that thing light or i'd shoot it off. i naturally ran downstairs to my mother and my father had left the house that states to go and take part in the post mortem examinations. a my mother told me to come back downstairs to open every set of curtains and to switch on every light. it was perhaps my greatest act of defiance as a 7 year old after the killings of body sunday. but i have to say it was absolutely terrifying. i expect to hear the words of a bullet. ready coming through the window at any stage, this was just before the partial regiment party into the night to celebrate what they had actually done a number of ards, previously. it took not many years for there to be the 1st of 2 i guess official u. k. government reports in the early seventies, there was one, did that generate an awful loss of anger and, and kind of exacerbate or make worse that sense for the people of london, dairy dairy, that they were not ostracized,
9:07 pm
but kind of kept very much on the periphery because that report published a thing of 7273 run about 73. that was completely opposite to what the saddle report came up with so many years later, almost a generation later yes. the 1st report the report card right. or would you rate it actually coined the phrase of doing a wintery where you do white wash reports to get the conclusion that you want before you start ignoring all of the evidence at the time that happened. and i remember again as child watching events, a number of high school cited, civil, civic, and positions like the corner, et cetera, resigned our position to test that the result of that which are tribunal because the winter report basically white washed and said that this was you know, racked by number, so come under fire, et cetera. people of dairy, who were there on the day that watched people die on the streets, knew this to be an on trust. and it, if you like
9:08 pm
a deep in the wound and it made very largely on governor and it's something that, you know, going forward, the people are very or choose to resilience. but they're also very aware that they have not been supported by administrations in london in dublin, et cetera. they have been somewhat isolated, 950 years later, we're eventually seeing even boris johnson tweaking, holly, the events the body sunday were on justified on justifiable. but it has taken 50 years and that sense of isolation, disenfranchisement hasn't left and the something needs to be addressed going forward. is that part of the fuel behind? i guess it's not a campaign per se, but there are strong load vocal voices who are saying look, this amnesty legislation that's coming down the tracks that simply cannot be allowed to rest. even if you say not putting it in place. will compromise the so called, you know, tony blair's golden bronze piece dividend for northern ireland. the people have got
9:09 pm
to be held accountable and you can't wrap it up. will basically use terminology like a statute of limitations on this event because this event was so incredibly significant . yes, i think, i mean it's interesting that there is no political party across the spectrum in the north of ireland who are calling for the still for the, the proposed legislation that effectively makes. and i'm the state for soldiers and be dollars cards, murderous and killing in northern ireland. no, no political party, the unionist, or national calling for that. but more importantly, what it's saying to the victims of bloody sunday. i want a thing to remember 2 generations later to the children and grandchildren, the victims of the sunday. it's saying your fight isn't over. you haven't got justice and you're going to have to fight for another generation. it is telling that now people 3040 years younger than myself, are taken to the streets, to protest, but events that they didn't even witness. but the legacy of those events are still
9:10 pm
strong and still run deep within the site. the general safety of people and dairy and it needs to be addressed before people can move forward and indeed accept any form of governance or legislation from any government that wants to try and claim it as part of their jurisdiction. kevin, thank you very much for talking to us. it can't be an easy day for you. your family and your friends in the north of ireland in london, dairy, especially kevin mcdonough, talking to us from w in 1998, the british government ordered an inquiry. it took 12 years to complete, the results were published in the saddle report as we've just been hearing now that report concluded that quote, what happened on bloody sunday strengthened the provisional i. r re increased nationalist resentment, and hostility towards the army, and exacerbated the violent conflict of the years that followed. bloody sunday was a tragedy for the bereaved. the wounded and a catastrophe for the people of northern ireland. early i spoke to jeremy corbin,
9:11 pm
formerly the labor party leader in london. he has been active in political affairs related to the conflict in northern ireland for many years now. i asked him if previous labor governments are also culpable in what's perceived as a denial of justice for the victims, families. every british government has had some culpability in the lack of convictions. the labor government of 1997 did introduce a or did ensure that was an a 2nd sci fi. the 1st sci fi happened under john nature and did under the guidance of my modem. tony blair was prime minister the time didn't bring about the peace process did bring about the belfast agreement. but the girl 1st agreement, vital and import, does it. spain, to maintain a relative peace in northern ireland since 1998 has not insured. there are prosecutions and that is the fundamental question and, and so i, you hold no parties on nature of this over party politics. what i want to say is
9:12 pm
justice. that means a, an ability for those that a victims to bring about a prosecution or the british government to tell us exactly who gave the orders to fire and why the army spokes person immediately after that tried to address the whole thing up as though those that died was somehow culpable in their own death, but this is not respectfully, so just to interrupt you. this is not about putting the justice outside the reach of the people who are directly affected by the events of bloody sunday. is it because if we cast our memories back to the atmosphere in northern island, across the u. k. in the run up to the good friday agreement, arguably, can i suggest you the atmosphere politically was to fee broil, to have a situation where tony blair was pushing for the good friday agreement. proximity talks at a time when, if it had been, if somebody had gone public with
9:13 pm
a british prime minister is in effect talking to the i r re 18 months or 2 years before that that would have been political suicide. he was absolutely of the widget, the richard tribunal, and remember that the proximity talks and the 2nd cease fire in the belfast, him and did all happen in 199798. and we've had a very long time now of the operation of the good friday agreement that has been plenty of time in which they could and should have been far more activity on that to bring about some form of justice. some form of legal process because several reported some while ago as well. and so i think that the people of dairy deserve to know the truth on this. and of course the anger and dairy this weekend is about the sadness of those families that lost them. but it's also the sense of anger that so welcome. as the statement was made by david cameron some years ago.
9:14 pm
now, i didn't really answer the question about who was actually culpable. no one has been charged. no one has been prosecuted. yet a enquiry very, very detailed enquiry over 12 years, maybe absolutely clear that they were killed by the army on the streets of that city. jeremy corbin talking to a surlier moving on voting underway in the snap election in portugal with no party expected to win an outright majority. the ballot was called by the socialist government off its coalition partners, switch sides and block to spending bill. portugal tourism dependent economy has been badly hit by the global pandemic. the next prime minister will be responsible for managing a $50000000000.00 e you recovery package. adam reiney joins us live now from one pulling station in lisbon. so how do we think it's shaping up in terms of turn out here adam?
9:15 pm
well, so far all signs point to a larger than expected turn out definitely larger than 2019, just a couple hours ago here. the electoral board released figures showed that so far. voting is about 89 percent higher than it was 2 years, 3 years ago in 2019. that is before the pandemic. and that could point to the fact that during the pandemic, there's a lot more at stake for poor cheese voters here. people want to see that you recovering resilience fun managed correctly, that some $50000000000.00 is you mention. they want to see the economy back on good footing and they want to see that these 2 leading parties, the socialists on the left and the center, right? social democrats, whoever comes out on top, it's a neck and neck fight. right now. they want to see these parties come together, figure something out and get this country going again. does that mean the parties that wouldn't necessarily have done well pre cove? it might do well now because people are kind of voting and they're fueled by anger
9:16 pm
at what's been going on with the pushback against cove it since it hit 2 years ago . indeed especially on the right, we have the relatively new party shake or enough is what it means in portuguese. and they've really gotten extremely popular in the last 3 years since they they arrived on the scene 1st. they won one seat in 2019, but they're on the path to win 10 or 12 seats. and if that's the case, they could even be the 3rd largest vote getter and elections here on sunday. and that would give them, perhaps some legitimacy that no one imagined prior to this election. this is a country that less than 50 years ago, was still in a, in a dictatorship. and it had the rival of democracy again in 1974. and since then until shaker came on the scene, there had been no hard right wing party. and this is a party that makes some statements that many people, frankly find racist. anti anti muslim anti immigrant and it still is occupying
9:17 pm
a big space and this election and all the major parties say they're really not going to go shape with shake. but that doesn't change the fact that if, when the poles close here in mainland portugal in less than an hour knows or days in the island and the atlantic ocean island chain. an hour after that, when the pulse close, if shake gets the results they think they might, parties may not be able to ignore their presence on the scene. that doesn't mean to include them in a government, but it will be hard to ignore a party that comes in 3rd place and the selection. adam, thank you very much. adam rainy the following. that developing story for us out of lisbon. lots more still to come for you here on the news are including high contentions on the korean peninsula. pyongyang tests what appears to have been is most powerful missiles in 20. 17 and fishermen from ireland to prevailed in a route with russia will speak to a former irish government minister kind in sport, find out what the best female tennis play in the world has to say about the
9:18 pm
historic title when in australia. ah, ah. okay, let's turn out to the stand off between ukraine and russia. keeps ambassador to the u. s. as appeared on american tb on their networks to defend comments made by ukraine's president on friday. lot of me as the lensky said, that while there was a threat from russia, the west was pama. king is what his ambassador in washington told cbs. we just can not afford to panic. so we are preparing for any options. and again, as i said, we know what russians are capable of, but let's be very clear here. we know who aggressor is. everyone knows who aggressor is. it's russia with the united states, especially and with other partners and allies. we may have difference of opinions on when to introduce sanctions. we may have difference of opinions on some issues,
9:19 pm
but those are friendly, open and candid discussions. while that all comes before a un security council session on monday to discuss the build up of thousands of russian troops on the border with ukraine out as heroes correspondent, mike hannah, joining us live here on the news are out of washington. so mike kia via, it's ambassador, really re heating what it said several times in the past week. namely, we've been through this a lot. you've got to kind of hang loose because this is, is not a phony war. that's not what they're saying or what they're saying. is we could, should still carry on talking indeed, yes. the local politicians here as well, also throwing back to what happened in 2014, just as the ukrainians are doing. and certainly within congress here, there's mounting pressure on the bided administration to impose sanctions and impose heavy sanctions. now in recent weeks, there have been
9:20 pm
a number of balls being discussed in congress that sanction should be applied in russia, invade ukraine, however, it's ratcheting up. now, because now you got the head of the senate armed services committee, suggesting that preemptive sanctions should be imposed. that is, as he thinks that there are enough reasons to impose sanctions. at this point, quoting what he calls the russian cyber attacks on ukraine, among other factors. so this is not ratcheting up the pressure. talking, not only about sanctions to be imposed, if an invasion happens, but for preemptive sanctions to be imposed by the biden administration. now this all comes as the un security council is about to discuss the issue. there's been a lot of resistance from russia to even hold this meeting. but the us ambassador to the un intent that there was enough support and that the meeting will go ahead. this is what she had to say. russia cannot block the security council from holding
9:21 pm
a meeting. they will certainly attempt to, they will distract from our unified voices, but they know that they, they cannot block the meeting. and i expect that knowing what we're dealing with, that they will make an attempt. but the security council is unified. our voices are unified in calling for the russians to explain themselves. we're, we're going to go in the room prepared to listen to them. but we're, we're not going to be distracted by their propaganda. and we're going to be prepared to respond to any disinformation that they attempt to spread during this meeting. like, is there a sense there that would kind of going through a scenario now where we've got diplomatic bumper cars nudging into each other. we've got the russians saying circuit elaborate again saying we're not going to invade mr. bite and saying if there isn't invasion,
9:22 pm
it will be nasty. and now we've got this un security council open public session just on the horizon as well. yes. a d that mean to start with that security council session, there is no doubt that there won't be a resolution ration would veto any attempts to pass such a resolution. but you mentioned a complicated situation is even more complicated by the u. s. secretary of state stating, repeatedly he said, so again, in the course of to day at that to impose sanctions at this stage would remove whatever deterrent there is. in other words, he saying that it would not be a politic to impose sanctions before russia. in phase cosette would remove the tyranny of sanctions. it's a complicated argument, but one that actually is a dogs with a lot of the u. s. s. allies and certainly at odds with many in congress who believe that preemptive sanctions is the way to go at the stage where diplomatic attempts are showing no progress whatsoever, despite the fact that they've been carrying on for weeks. mike,
9:23 pm
thank you very much. sure. for that clarity on that still ongoing evolving story, my canada talking to was from wasn't, will staying in that part of the world ukraine urging its western allies to be quotes, vigilant and firm in their talks with russia. it's after the u. s. president announced a small troop deployment to eastern europe, amid fears of that russian invasion the kremlin has denied it. has any such glance as we were just discussing. however, as char stratford reports now from the nets, many living in separatist controlled eastern ukraine already align themselves with moscow. this is no man's land between ukrainian government forces and separatist fighters with the self declared de next people's republic. the russian bank authorities and ask have given us rare access to the territory they control for the 1st time since 2017. the city seems more russian than when we were last year. on the surface, at least the statue of linen still stands,
9:24 pm
prowled over the main square next to a russian flag. but they're also vast pro russia mil rules on buildings. this one reads russian, don bass, a heart in the colors of the russian flag, sits in the snow covered park destruction from 8 years of conflict is worse nay. what used to be done at scaffold? this was where some of the heaviest fighting took place between pro russia separatists and the ukrainian government forces. when conflict started in 2014 nichol, i says he and many people like him see little chance of a future with a ukrainian government wanting closer ties with europe and nato. russia promote russia will help putin warned the west don't dare to put a foot in this region. there is no future with ukraine unless it changes. some
9:25 pm
residents, like vladimir occasionally come to try and repair their homes. mccook should say, we are between a rock and a hard place. there are no jobs. we are doing our best to survive. many people say they don't want to go back to ukraine off to what's happened either people want independence or to join russia. most of the people that used to live in this neighborhood, a too afraid to return because of the sporadic, shelly, and now increasing phase of a potential renewed conflict. but there is a side to life internet, so that perhaps reflects a determination to live a normal life, especially amongst the young generation, many of whom were children. when the conflicts started, many young people have left for russia or elsewhere in search of jobs. nightclubs like this one only open at weekends and have to close when the curfew starts at 10 pm. we are separated from the rest of the world. for example,
9:26 pm
we cannot use international payment systems and it's difficult to get in and out. my travel to, to buy europe, but those that can't afford to go out. they just stuck. now here, no matter what happens here, young people are trying to find joy in life. we try our best to live like people do in the rest of the world. russia has always denied supporting the separatists militarily, saying the conflict is an internal matter for the ukrainian government and their opponents to solve. but russia's influence here seems stronger than ever. something people say the ukrainian government international backers always fail to understand charleston if al jazeera, don't ask a disputes between irish fishermen and russia has come to an end. moscow was planning, told naples, rails 240 kilometers of the southwest an irish coast as of next month. that would have been an international waters but inside the islands exclusive economic zone.
9:27 pm
but russian says it will move. the exercise is to outside that zone of the irish fisherman said the drills could disrupt the traditional fishing grounds. let's talk to con atlanta when he's formerly an irish government minister. he's also worked in russia after leaving irish politics. he joins us from the capital dublin, khan, atlanta, and your thoughts on what happens here. i mean, is this the outcome that the dublin government was looking to find any way? i think it was, it kind of sense the solution. i mean, it was marginal really, from the russian point of view to move it slightly outside of it was in hand on the edge of what's called the irish cannot exclusive economic. so it's not actually irish territory waters, but it is an ex, the film where irish fishermen and fish and they can actually apply their trade. so i think the central result is great sensitivity in the coast to communities over recent years. not least because of the european union, a lot of that subsidies have to change and you know, it's
9:28 pm
a difficult life for fishermen in very removed parts of our west coast. and there's also then that instance, of course, that the fishermen affected by these exercises are from the foreign ministers constituency and d. r prime ministers, constituency. so i've no doubt that there was a strong kind of lobby from the fisherman that this should be continued because they're obviously over sensitive about this. if you were still an elected politician, would you and i, i mean this respectfully, would you be banging the drum and saying, this is saber rattling? this is aggression for i can't understand what reason all, would you be more emollient in your approach this? well, i'd be more molly and certainly in relation to the irish issue, but also broadly and within the context of what's going on in ukraine. i think most people, ordinary people that are very confused as to what's going on. you have and ukrainian themselves in their present are prime minister play now the fact that there is
9:29 pm
a possibility of an, a russian invasion, if the russians denying it yet, if one listens to various capitals up, i feel like the term, the western powers. there seems to be a huge escalation of rhetoric. thank you. no invasion is imminent. and it seems i right, that is imminent, sir. over an invasion. it's how fed dance. and in p s, you know that the president, there is the, to be as worried about the possibility of an invasion. clearly when you talk about ukraine, the con, the left hand, there is extra added testosterone flowing through the sort of cumulative military bloodstream all over europe. at the moment, not just the russians, every one, of course, not least, the united states and the nato countries as well. could it be that the russians just got this one wrong, but nobody in their planning department in moscow looked at the map of that part of
9:30 pm
the atlantic, and they didn't actually see, or maybe they don't have it on their maps. that there is this. so it's not exclusion zone. it's an exclusive zone that belongs to the irish i don't, i wouldn't particularly link the instant our harland to be particularly significant . a far more significant issue that we're facing now is the escalation of rhetoric about the possibility of war in ukraine. which i believe would be a nasty tragedy for everybody concerned with the russian ukrainian. u. s. american . it doesn't matter. i mean, it's the last thing we need in this planet at the moment. the challenge is coming out of covered and other challenges such as not ok, we'll leave it there. thank you so much for joining us. con atlanta incident. one protested, was killed today during demonstrations against the military in the capital cartoon demonstrates as have been rallying there 3 months and similar to take over security

9:35 pm
i want them back. you're watching and you saw your top story so far to day. in northern ireland, people are marking these 50th anniversary of the bloody sunday killings when 14 unarmed protesters were shot dead by british soldiers. it was one of the darkest moments of what became known as the troubles floating on the way in portugal snapped general election with no party expected to win an outright majority. the ballot was called by the socialist government to after its coalition partners, switch sides unblocked to spending bill and ukraine surging its western allies to be vigilant and firm. in their talks with russia, moscow has a mass, tens of thousands of troops on its border with ukraine, but says it has no plans for an invasion. the un security council will discuss crisis on monday. let's get more on what's been going on in northern ireland today
9:36 pm
london. dairy, of course, dairy julian campbell is the author of own bloody sunday. a book just published her uncle was one of those killed. she joins us from derry. jean campbell, welcome to al jazeera, 50 years on why there's still no convictions where you tell me, that's what we want to know as well. the last demand of the campaign and we still don't have justice. and not only that, it won't recall how can all legacy investigations. so any of the historic cases here will essentially go unanswered and no one will be held accountable. so, i think there's grave damage in down here. so there is some, there's representative of a lot of cases, very important that we remember on this milestone day was it at any point possible for consecutive british governments in london to take the province on the road
9:37 pm
towards peace that came together under the umbrella of the good friday agreement and simile tany asleep, go through some sorts of legal process followed i assume by the saddle report to not saddle report light because the saddle report didn't go far enough for so many people perhaps were understandable reasons. and then also in parallel to the good friday agreement and the process that went into that come up with a legal process that would very probably of lead convictions are. there's been many mechanisms that in place over the years and am signed proposals for dealing with the past. and as yet, none of them have been implemented all that hard work of working together and trying to come up with a way of addressing the past is as being ignored and not used. and the people who are the maryland are there, grew and old, and i were losing a lot of people that the trouble is affected and for not going to help people
9:38 pm
knowing well. what would those mechanisms be though julian campbell, for instance, the right to legal recourse if you're in a room was murdered. surely there's a case there or the right can in class, or even just investigations. police investigations, the right to see documents with which was held. and there's new documents, a new evidence coming like for cases in here all the time. so i can, they say let's draw a line under the troubles and legacy when it's continually getting worse. it's not getting better. so who were or who are the people during the last 50 years old, the u. k. government, all the offices inside the u. k. government that have in effect, always turned a deaf ear. always blight and blind signed. did you? and always looked the other way when it came to not answering the questions the
9:39 pm
question that was being asked, which was, can we, why can't, why can't we have jew legal process where? because i think it goes right to the very top. think they know exactly what they're doing and then they have no regard for the people here. and i really do think that it goes from the very top that they, they're not going to change the mind. and then they're gonna, they're gonna end up leaving a strand at here with no way of trying to address past i think it's sanctioned, i probably by each prime minister not sanctioned, but just turning a blind eye to northern ireland paper. there is amnesty legislation, not very far just around the corner. is there any way that people can get around that? i mean, is there a, in the court or a system that they could or should go to what they want to call to everything with no, and with no exceptions. so though i don't,
9:40 pm
i don't know. so it would be anything else. but i don't think the people here are going to take a lie and i think people will mobilize and try and lobby the government's try and you know, generally try and make the voices heard again when they shouldn't have to shake so lightly. and there should be basic respect and decency. and if people have done wrong, they should be investigated. if claims have been that it can act the marriage, investigate and do not pretend that nothing happened. and that along the way, because for the people here in the north, it will never go away. and a lot of the people affect an ira, elderly and in their old age. so it's, it's a running store and it's an insult to people here. i think julian campbell, thanks very much for joining us from dairy and key the west african grouping echo else as hell. talks with the king of houses coolers. un officials are also

9:44 pm
and frustration among members of echo us the, the west african bought. im just gonna quote what the president of the prime minister of, of new jerry said on friday. we do not understand that military leaders after having failed in the field of war, take political power and call on mercenaries to defend the integrity of their territory. and what he's referring to is the russian private security group. wagner, that's active in neighboring molly and central african republic. they came out following the qu, that they would be happy to help in burkina faso peter. and was you reading of the way the military nick is now trying to recruit people, presumably to take on the insurgence? because there are large parts of the country that are essentially no, a huge, no goes zone for everyone and the military up to now and the civilian government. they haven't covered themselves in glory when it comes to regaining control of that area. it shows to you how they are not in
9:45 pm
control of the situation. and this culture arms is almost like an act of desperation. we spoke to some of the militia members, a commander in the north that's on the front line. he said to us that the bertina bay army are following from the back. and now just a few minutes ago, we saw communicate from the french. remember right here in water, the blogger do. there is a count of french special forces that deplored with breaking up bosses forces. they announced that they had an operation between the 19 and the 23rd of january. peter, the crew happened on the 24th. during that time they had joint operation. they said they knew for over 60 fighters linked to al qaeda and i so, but make no mistake. the reason why there is so much concern about what's happening here is bertina also is because it affects the region. if there is an instability in burkina faso, there's fears that it could spread even further south i re coast. we already have
