2:03 am
around 20 kilometers. ne of the town of buck. mood, of course, buck mood is seen some of the most intensive fighting over recent weeks and months . a town that is often nicknamed a meat grinder because of the sheer amount of men that have been killed in it on both sides. solely dog is a salt mining town. it is the largest salt mine in ukraine and it has a vast network of underground tunnels, around 200 kilometers, in fact have underground tunnels, some as high as 30 meters. i mean, a football match for example, is being held under ground in solely in the past. so one can you imagine this is a huge strategic importance. we can only speculate that certainly according to the russians, they saying that the ukrainians are using those tunnels as defensive positions to store ammunition and so on. so we can only speculate that the fighting there is
2:04 am
particularly intense because it is of such strategic and military importance. whether we're going to start seeing such a thing as a seizure, such as what we saw around the as a style plant in mariel pool was months ago, remains to be seen. let's take a closer look at russia's wagner group. the private paramilitary force was established back in 2014 off to moscow amex crimea. the group is founded by the russian businessmen. yeah, going to pre goes in, who's close to the president vladimir putin. he also has a cation business and was once called patients. chef the wagon group has recruited russian prisoners, defies in ukraine, promising that they will be free men when they return, if they survive. the war. alexander is a russia analyst and lecturer at queens university in belfast. he explains how the wagner group has managed to strengthen its presence in ukraine. there is
2:05 am
a lot of tensions and competition when russian army and security forces between each other and in pre gordon has established himself as a person who is distinct by the fact that he is group. i'm when you say group, we're talking about tens of thousands of men equipped with most modern weapons, including $900.00 tanks, aircraft, and taylor, and so forth. i actually don't want to weigh bill to continue to advance against the ukranian army and bach with them sort of the area where everywhere else carousel new college of roches was this wayne retreat. and now here haven't been at the, it's for many weeks and month i'll find it on their costs seemingly or overrunning very important strategic, strategic down. so it's a big winnable precaution himself as well as for russia, more generally, they always been very close linked with russian armed forces and with russian
2:06 am
security forces. usually the we used will things which of the official russian forces didn't want to be going to seem to be doing. for example, in syria and in other parts of africa where the way of racing but the same. surely they are going to joins the heap with the, with the russian security forces in russian army in general. and if you look at the level of the equipment and military things to have with them as i said, including planes and so forth. and it's not just here, it was all saying them in libya and so forth. you know, you see the basic is, are an official army, but basically this t o are very much more part of the ah, putins also know more generally, but understand precautions obviously in charge of it. and for him, it is extremely important to show that he is the one capable of winning when everybody else is losing on the russian side. meanwhile, about
2:07 am
a 100 ukrainian soldiers a set to begin training on the patriot missile defense system. in the us, late last month, washington pledge to provide the advanced system to ukraine to help counter rush ness strikes. my account has moved from the white house. they wouldn't be drawn on the time line, how long the training is going to take or when exactly it is going to start. however, it is understood that a group suffering cranium. soldiers are already on the way now. it must be understood as well that a hatred massage battery. 5 requires some 90 soldiers to man. so although the figure of $100.00 is being pushed around, it's likely to be higher than this for the battery to be continually operational. in other words, you would lead to the teams of 180 soldiers rather than one team of 90. so this training we now understand is going to be happening. as i said, the duration we don't know when exactly it's going to start. we don't know what it
2:08 am
does appear to be is that the training will take place in oklahoma in the fort sill army base. this is the home of the american field off hillary school. so that will be on the us base in oklahoma. we understand, we will hopefully get more details from the pentagon. armenia is refusing to host military drills involving a russian lead lines. the former soviet countries relations between the 2 sides, have soured. armine wants rushes peacekeepers to open a corridor linking his country to the dispute. a territory of nicole and quarterback, both armenia and as by john lay claim over it. very activists blocking the corridor since last month. the problem is not just the organisation has refused to condemn as a bichon actions, though not all of its members state. so i would like just to focus more on the
2:09 am
perception of the problem than the vision of others or on our view of others. her is government has approved an overnight curfew in the south eastern region of who no of the 17 people were killed during our government. demonstrations on monday was the most violent day since prices began in december, following the rest of the form of president pedo castillo. he supported the demanding early elections and the resignation of the current president latte. adiana, sanchez, has long story from lima. lawmaker just told me a little while ago that he's very sure that is the prime minister. will give the vote of confidence from lawmakers here, but it wasn't you see from the star because the left wing will makers, when when about la, walked into the chambers, they shouted at him, murderer, then they did not allow him to speak. they took the floor and presented the pictures, the photos of many of the,
2:10 am
of the victims of the side yesterday in flashes with security forces in the city of pool. and also he confirmed that the 18th person died yesterday. he is a police officer who was attacked by a mob and burns a car. well, the prime minister spoke during his presentation about what is going on in the country. he announced a curfew of from a pm to 4 am in to know for 3 days. brazil supreme court has ordered the rest of the man who was in charge of public security in the capital when government buildings was stormed on sunday. and the centuries who is currently in the u. s. was removed from office off to the riots. he served as justice minister under the former president variable scenario. resident louis in austria, lulu itself has criticized the military for not doing enough to stop the
2:11 am
a time bible scenario. spaces is 1500 people have been arrested so far. i every one here is aware of the amount of people that were tortured for not agreeing with the military regime. and now the people are freely calling for a crew in front of the military headquarters. and none of them have done anything. go general stood up to say, this can't happen. it's forbidden to ask for that. it gives the impression that there were people who liked it was the people were calling for a cru. monica yanna cave has more from inside brazil's presidential palace, which was storm during sundays purchase, were standing in the 2nd floor of the presidential palace and brazilian. these, this window has been broken. it was one of the many windows that were destroyed during the attack on sunday, not only to this palace but also to the supreme court and congress. now the president of brazil works up there on that floor to day he was holding
2:12 am
regular meetings. it was the 1st day of normality here, which was not so normal because as you can see, people are fixing everything. ah, there are many, many windows that are broken. but the most important thing that lula said, and he stressed this to the 27 governors, that he met the night before is that although the buildings have been shattered, the institutions have resisted. he attended cool. so this is the ramp where the president are lula, came up to the palace on the day that he was sworn and right in front of it is the supreme court building that was also destroyed during the attack of sunday lula will have that his 1st priority was to unite at least all the governors, the supreme court justices,
2:13 am
and congress to defend democracy. and this has strengthened him politically, but is now his main challenge will be to unite a very, very divided country. and he will start his trips abroad on the 23rd of this month, where he is going to argentina to participate in the summit of the community of latin american states and the caribbean. and then from there he will go to uruguay . and later on he will meet later on this month or early next month, he will meet with you as president joe biden. the former brazilian president julia ball scenario says he may cut short his stay in the us after being admitted to hospice. so with stomach pain on cheese, they both in are reportedly told cnn brazil he could return home by the end of the month. he was taken to a hospital ne orlando, in florida on monday of to complaining of a pain related to
2:14 am
a 2018 stab. won't now heads of state from the us, canada and mexico have held wide ranging talks out the north american leaders summit, us president joe biden canadas, justin trudeau, an mexican president, andre manuel lopez abra door have been meeting in mexican city. there discuss regional cooperation on matters including trade, immigration and drug trafficking. as go straight to our correspond, manuel rap holler. who's been following the summits. he joins us from mexico, sissy, or we can see their manual, the, the live pictures of the 3 leaders holding a news conference as we speak right now. as anything concrete. come out at the summit. i believe we are in mexico cities. historic center behind me is the presidential palace that north american leader summit has concluded just a few moments ago. those live pictures that we're looking at right now is of the press conference taking place between mexican president of the restaurant is over the us president joe biden. and canadian prime minister, just in the true doe,
2:15 am
the press conference taking place a little bit later than we were expecting. so we caught caught a little bit off guard. this is a massively important moline, we were expecting any, many different, very important topics to be just everything ranging from migration to security strategy. this is again a meeting of the regional block of, of north america, which is the largest one of the most important trading blocks in the world. so we know that economy promoting trade, strengthening ties between the 3 countries was a major pillar of these talks taking place here in mexico city ahead of the summit . 1 there was a little bit of tension, but perhaps the one sour point that we could point to these accusations of mexico skirting its obligations into the united states, mexico, canada, a free trade agreement, or u. s. m. ca, but you know, having that said, there was an expectation going into these talks that perhaps these 3 leaders would
2:16 am
set aside these disputes and focus more on areas where there is common ground underscore areas where they could strengthen economic ties in the face of blooming global recession, but setting aside these disputes over mexico's energy policy, these threats buy mexico to ban genetically modified course from the united states, entering mexico topics that could be seen as a distraction from the more pressing issues such as such as immigration, there's been a, an unprecedented search of migration, specifically from countries like ben, it's with cuba, nicaragua. so this is very, very much high on the agenda and certainly we're, we're expecting one of the largest announcements we're agreements to come out of this north american liter summit. but when i see that manual report over putting that for mexico city also is supreme court has dropped a terrorism case against a well known professor of egyptian origin. following an al jazeera adult commentary
2:17 am
for it half as was charged along with dozens of activists back in november of 2020 january of last year. the program, what is hidden is greater add on al jazeera, revealing that the charges were based on false evidence and fabricated accusations . as is best known for an annual report into european slum, a phobia and is one of the founders of the austrian muslim youth association. shahida this adiana, yet i'm still head on out is era confrontation the coal will have the latest on a sitting by climate activists join to block the expansion of gym and mine. ah, we got something a bit unusual unfolding in patagonia. however, one host details right now it's the fact that we're seeing this much rain at this
2:18 am
time of the year in commodore a reba davia. but it looks like the bulk of that precipitation wants to stay over the open water. but if it shifts just a bit, that's a lot of rain coming your way for kumato reba davia on wednesday in time weather alerts and play for that rain in the now sim, brazil. you looking for about 50 millimeters of rain in a short period of time, so that could certainly trigger some flooding. central america looks like this. fairly calm. we've got some rain falling, but sunny conditions. look at this feet of air through the gulf of mexico. so watch what it does. so the u. s. calls states it pops up those temperatures, houston at $26.00, but then look, it's familiar setup. get that cold air, rushing off the rockies. meeting up with that warm boy stare from the golf. it's going to spark some storms sweeping across this area on thursday, back to the here and now still dealing with another pacific storm up and down the coast of california. but this time around. i think it's going to be worse for no cal. was there in california around san francisco, for example, more in the way of cloud cover for oregon and washington state and canada is
2:19 am
british columbia. and off to these fairly settled conditions. toronto's got a high of one degree on wednesday. that's a feel later. ah, the latest news as it breaks this particular sub station. let's bring it in 3 separate attacks. for 6 russian, we saw with detailed coverage, they had hope that the u. s. would relax water pandemic restrictions this week, which with likely had better there off of getting it from around the world over 3000000 people to talk to the 3 important sites with lou.
2:20 am
oh, oh, come back. you're watching al jazeera and mind if our top stories this, our russian forces have stepped up. they're sold on the salt mine in town of solider, in the east of ukraine. united kingdom says it appears, rushes, taking control of much of the town blocking a key ukrainian supply line. peruse government has ordered a curfew in the southern region of who know all to 17 people were killed during protests on monday was the most violent day since sunrise began in december, after the former president had the castillo, was removed from office and heads of state of the united states, canada, and mexico have held wide ranging talks at the north american leader summit years president joe biden, canada as justin trudeau on the mexican president on by manuel lopez open door,
2:21 am
happen to be seen in mexico city, immigration, climate change and trade. we're on the agenda. let's get more on this. we can speak to tony payan. he's the director at the mexico center at rice university's baker institute. he joins us now live from houston in texas. many thanks for joining the program. let's start with the north american summit. i mean, how significant was this meeting between 3 leaders? what was out stake evidently, i think there's been many efforts over time to establish a coherent north american region is a competitive platform. the so the china or east asia of the europe, of course, this was cemented almost 25 years ago under the north american free trade agreement . and now us and ca, there have been on and off dialogue concerning this region in the 3 leaders. it's a major economy put together, it's one of the largest blocks in the world. and so this is an important summit
2:22 am
because as i said, it's been on and off, and president trump had completely forgotten about it. he had a more isolationist unilateralists approach to international relations, and most everyone is happy to see joe biden take up the initiative to call for this the 10th meeting. so this is an important step to restore something that had been going on prior to the trump administration. it's been a lot of frustration with the biden government in the u. s. on its ability to tackle the influx of migrants that have been coming from mexico. how is this visit being seen back home? would it help ease some of that pressure on the us president? unfortunately, i do not think so. i think the vital administration, our strategy towards immigration has been a failure. honestly, the numbers have only gone up over the last 2 years since he took office in january of 2021. and of course, mexico is a key component of this because most irregular migrants are really transiting
2:23 am
through mexico. they enter the southern border and i think president lovers of rudder has been unwilling, really to help our, the united states with this flow of regular migration. there's been agreements. there's been a lot of talk about that. but at the end of the day, i think the numbers have only gone up. so whatever these 2 countries are doing together to stem the flow of a regular migration has simply not worked. and i do not expect the numbers to go down. my grants. don't think about the by natural relationship. they don't think about strategies. they don't think about title 42. they simply talked about looking for new opportunities for themselves, and as long as mexico allows them in the country and they will keep coming to the border. is interesting, you talk about the relationship between the mexican president and the, the u. s. president. and you, you took by the unwillingness of the mexican president to do something about the migration is she, how much do you think that has to do with the
2:24 am
a slightly unfriendly relationship he would say between the 2? well, we have to remember that in december, november of 2020, when joe biden won the elections, it took weeks for the locus or door administration to actually congratulate the new president of the united states at that time. the president liked at that time in december. and then of course it's been kind of a cold relationship between the 2. and to this day, if you observe exactly what has been going on in mexico city over the last day or 2, you can see clearly that these 2 leaders are talking past each other. one lot of other talks about latin america, about american abandonment of latin america. they talks about development as if he of course, had the voice of latin america in his hands, which he does not, and bite and talks about more practical issues. there are really inter mastic and require by national collaboration to be resolved. immigration drudge,
2:25 am
border management, the implementation of the u. s. m. ca, and on and on. it's a very, very vast portfolio and no country consult this alone. they need each other really good to speak to tony pine, direct of the mexico center at rice university. baker institute, thank you. thank you. i so claims that it carried out more than 2000 ties globally. last year the us led coalition in syria and iraq that has been conducting operations against the group says i still find says continue to pose a threat. operations are predominantly conducted by our partner versus high rock and syria. we are here at the invitation of the iraqi government. we partner with our partner forces, they're the ones that tv operations and we advise them on these operations. so what that looks like if we have constant communication with our partner forces, we assist them in the planning. we enable them with the equipment in order to to
2:26 am
a pacific still and continues to bassetti california day on to flooding in months lined restful si, evacuation of thousands of people is 16 people in and kill since last week. and more than fatty 4000000 on the flat moon, if not, a storm is expected to hit hot estate on wednesday. rob reynolds has moved from santa cruz avenue in california for the past week and more california has really been suffering from this just relentless parade of very severe storms of meteorologist called em, atmospheric rivers, one after the other. sy, close hitting the coast and causing flooding, mud slides, a high waves up to 7 meters in height. and i want to show you where we are right now in santa cruz. we're at the top where that we're at a point where the san lorenzo river goes into the pacific and locals tell us that this river, which you see here, normally is just
2:27 am
a trickle. sometimes it even dries up. ah, but now it is murky brown, full of debris and upstream homes and businesses. cars have been submerged. if we look further out past the, the old amusement park here, you could see on the beach, the waves are crashing against the shore and, and there's a ton of debris out there all along the sand. nobody's surfing in this can. under these conditions, 16 people have lost their lives over the past several days, including a several people who had been killed by falling trees in high winds. a 5 year old boy was swept away when the vehicle his mother was driving her was caught in a flash flood, and tens of thousands of people have been evacuated, including the entire town of monta seato. that's at santa barbara county, south of year, a place where many celebrities are to have their homes are nice,
