8:02 pm
increase the effectiveness of how its operation is managed. crafts mouth appointment comes 3 months after a previous re shuffle. he is an army general and has been russian of the russian army, chief of general staff for more than 10 years. he replaces army general survey, sir of egan, as commander in ukraine who has now been demoted. deputy commander, russia's commanding officer. serv come under a lot of pressure and criticism in recent months is moscow has failed to achieve any major progress in its war in ukraine. well, ukraine says the fighting over the eastern towns of back mode unsullied on all the bloodiest battles of the war. so far. russian forces led by mercenaries from the vog regroup, have been trying to seize control of the area for months. moscow says it's units of cut off access to solider, but ukraine denies the salt mining town has fallen. russia media has released these
8:03 pm
images of rog, the leader yevgeny pre goes in. the mullins there here says the purchase was stage . natasha butler has more from ukrainian capital. the russian defense mystery saying that airborne russian airborne units have surrounded the town from the north and the south. earlier we heard of from the head of the russian mercenary, a group wagner yevgeny. goshen who said that his fighters had taken control of the city even posted a photograph of himself alongside some of his troops saying he was in one of the town soap minds. well, that certainly has not been confirmed or verified. but what we do know is that the ukrainian defense officials are saying none of this is correct. they are saying that ukrainian forces are still fighting in the area. in fact, one top military official said, fighting between ukrainian forces and russians was intense. he compared it to battles in world war 2. it is
8:04 pm
a very difficult situation on the ground. we know that. and in the past few days, though, british officials from the ministry of defense have indicated that it's all a dock could indeed, perhaps fall into russian hands shortly. now if that was to happen from the russian perspective, it would certainly be a something if a victory a battlefield gain, which they haven't had for many weeks and months. it would also allow them to focus more on the town of backbone to which isn't far from solid r a victory. there for them would be highly symbolic. ukrainian and russian forces have been locked in intense fighting there for many months. indeed, russia and ukraine have agreed to a prisoner swapping beating between the countries human rights officials in turkey . 80 people will be released in the exchange, so them consider house more from the stumble. this is not the 1st time that turkey has meditated between russia and ukraine in terms of prisoners swap. but also trickier has been mediating about reducing the tension between the 2 countries as
8:05 pm
well. apparently, at what anchor has defined itself as a role in this conflict. in it's a neighborhood in the black sea is air to be a balancing act between the warring parties and to kia has been very clear and very vocal about. it's a stance against the russian invasion of ukraine, a, but also to kia, has provided a weapons like a drones armed runes, turkish made drones or to ukraine, but also managed to mediate between the 2 countries. that's why this position of to kia as a balancing factor has been appreciated by most of the circles, especially at the time when to care lost credibility and international. every now has a strained relations with the west, even a, with nato, as a strong member of nato. a turkey has very har, statements against the, against the started score or the it infrastructure of nato. but after this,
8:06 pm
a medication effort, especially after the grain deal that was initiated by the united nations, a to care found itself a very secure position. ok, well let's rewind a little bit. cern dove more into the appointment. so of the new russian military commander in ukraine. the promotion of course of valeri garage im office command of commerce combined forces in the conflict. so puzzled, fell going our joins us now live for moscow. he's a russian military analyst. welcome to the program. pavel. i'm how do you read this aborted military reshuffle? all this is, is totally extraordinary. now it's, it's not the promotion, it's of the motion for the chief of general staff because chief of general staff, that's the number 2 in the russian military and many respects him and number one. and now he is just commander of the fight being task force. so this demonstrates the now is simply not,
8:07 pm
not there simply extraordinary situation that such things didn't happen in russia. now since 1941, when the german nazi very much invaded them, chief for general stag good is shook of was sent to the front by joseph stalin. so this demonstrates that there's a kind of emergency and he's going to have also of course deputies, the chief of the air force, air space troops and the chief of the army. also there. and there's only the chief of the navy left out is not there in command in the field. so yes, this is a very extra ordinary situation. chiefs of general staff and brushing normally do not do such things on public. i mean, he's in charge of the nuclear deterrent. he came from nuclear missiles. why the other continents, he has a nuclear flint bow as the chief of general staff. i mean, he's a really very important person. when you're in that case, problem, if this is
8:08 pm
a indeed a, if he is being knocked down a level, i suppose, in his position there in, in russia. what does that say about the level of trust and the dynamic within the upper echelons of the russian military in relationship with the kremlin? oh that there's been a lot of been. 1 constantly shuffles, during this less than a year of conflict with sheer, really demonstrates that the kremlin is still doing unhappy with how the a campaign is proceeding in. they have a good reason to be unhappy and you know, your estimate has been chief of general staff since 2012 over i mean here for 10 years already. and he is the architect, the build, this present brush and military, more or less for if not from scratch. what that means, he build it in and turn it down to b. one thing. so now they sent him
8:09 pm
a book incense from a parent week into the few of the command, the show that he can do it right. and if you can, that means he's to bring to wherever anything going wrong. do you think the overall king i am here is to try and turn the tide of the war that doesn't always appear to be going and russians favor or, or is it a way of demoting and potentially punishing somebody? the putin doesn't necessarily trust what brand will he trust him. still trust is chief of general staff. he you defines him. i say this is a person who as a nuclear football, he can initiate a nuclear war at the moment. and that's, you can do that on his own if you wish to. i mean, i knew of the, one of the chiefs of general staff were close friends. i know where the enormous power this a coast has. so here, but apparently as there so, so hope that sending the chief of the general staff, the chief of the army and of the air force to be they are into the field will mean
8:10 pm
that they will use all their resources. and they to bring everything to the front line, not having because right now their future depends on who there be success or not. so that's a, maybe a wait for the kremlin for booking to force these top generals to mobilize all their hidden resources. and puzzle before you go, the wagner group have been in the headlines quite a lot recently given what's happening. and so the da and members of the wagner group have not been particularly complimentary about good awesome off. in the past half day, some of you used incredibly strong words that we can't possibly broadcast about feeling that they were thrown under the boston ill equipped and they blame. good, awesome, all for that. what about that relationship between this all important group that operates independently of the kremlin and the official military channels?
8:11 pm
well, definitely it's not independent of the crime that pre gordon kind of profess is always want to push him personally. but they are rather independent of the russian rank your military and there's a lot of tension there. they don't like him with the regular remote. you don't like them or in return. and to be actually, wagner group said they took so a battery ingredients that they didn't. and actually the credit, the defense ministry said that they didn't, they sounded sort of supported the premiums. and this point saying that the fighting is continuing. and the kremlin actually said that the spokesman that they were out of their group is just had a tactical success and that's now being final. so this all demonstrates today all these statements that really crash with each other. that there's are serious problems there in the top military, political leadership of russia, where as
8:12 pm
a result of a not very war going that very well. all right, so puzzle fell going to how many, thanks for sharing your expertise on that. thank you. now thousands of slides to receiving offshore a technical glitch. so plains grounded for hours of problems being blamed on a computer outage at the federal aviation administration of c. u. s. government's transport agency more than $4300.00 flights would delayed and $750.00 were canceled . oh, the joy castro joins us now live from arlington, virginia ronald reagan airport. so this appears to be not quite as bad or worse, long lasting as many had feared. nevertheless, this boss, of course, a huge amount of disruption, not only travellers, but also the aviation industry though. right? absolutely. the outage was overnight, the ground stop that it precipitated last and only about 2 and
8:13 pm
a half hours. but the problem itself is not over yet. neither those numbers you just quoted with the cancellations and the delays across the united states. well, they are still growing by the minute and at last check, according to flight aware, we're about 7000 flights now, delayed, just over a 1000 that have been cancelled due to the domino effect of course, of having essentially airplanes, grounded in the u. s. for the entirety of the morning, this delay now was caused by an outage in the f, a a's computer system that is called the notice to air mission system. what it does essentially is create the most updated safety alerts and delivers them to flight clues, like cruise, right before they take off that system went down somehow. the question is why, and that apparently is still being investigated with president joe biden. and the transportation secretary, both vowing to deliver answers to the public as soon as possible, because we have
8:14 pm
a pretty angry public given that many travelers were delayed stranded. they said that this was an embarrassment, and this time their anger is not directed so much at the airlines because is not their fault. they say it was a failing of the federal government itself and letting this apparent computer glitch essentially bring the entire traveling air industry in the us to a halt for those hours. a hardy many thanks for the update. how to j capture the terminal reagan airports in arlington, virginia, at least 21 people have been killed in a suicide explosion in the afghan capital. kabul near the foreign ministry office, a dozen more people have been injured. the boss reportedly happened when a chinese delegation was meeting with the taliban at the foreign ministry. police in germany's north western village of lute serrato vixen climate act risk to allow the expansion of an open pit coal mine causes reject to the protest. this request to stay and police have started removing them,
