very well. well, come to the news. our. the u. s. says it will designate the private russian military company, the wagner group as an international criminal group. the move will freeze the group's assets and band americans from providing funds to the organisation. white house national security spokesperson, john kirby says, the wagner has tens of thousands of fi. it is currently in ukraine, and about 80 percent of them are drawn from russian prisons. kimberly how can begin sar coverage in our, from the white house. the united states has made the decision to essentially designate the wagner group. this is a military group to provide support to the russian military inside ukraine as a significant transnational criminal organization. now the reason that it has designated this is in order to try and paralyze its ability to operate inside ukraine. in other words, what this does with this designation is it freezes his assets and also prohibits

americans for providing funds as well as services to this organization. the u. s. accusing it of committing widespread atrocities and human rights abuses. we continue to assess that wagner currently has approximately 50000 personnel deployed to ukraine, including 10000 contractors and 40000 convicts. our information indicates the russian defense ministry has reservations about wagner recruitment methods. despite this, we assess that it is likely that wagner will continue to recruit right out of russian prisons due to recent events. we assessed that it is likely there are mounting tensions between russian officials and mr. producer. to back up his accusations, the united states providing evidence of imagery of north korea shipping arms, the images showing rail cars as recently as november, transporting arms from north korea to the region. directly to the wagner group.

the u. s. saying that this is a violation of un security council resolutions. resolutions that the united states says it will raise at the un security council in the future. given the fact that the united states expects these deliveries of arms will continue in the future. a meeting of western military leaders at the ramstein u. s. air base in germany has concluded with the agreement to provide more military support to ukraine. but the question of whether germany's leopard 2 tanks will make their way to the battlefield remains on answered on friday. the u. s. and i'm still in jail for the $2500000000.00 into keeps war efforts including armored vehicles and air defenses. ukrainian troops are currently bogged down in a grinding battle with russia around the eastern city of buck mood. while all of this is berlin denies that it's blocking the delivery of left for 2 tanks from european countries. the new defense minister boris mysterious, says

a decision would require consensus from all allies. will the kremlin says the west is diluted, if it thinks the tanks will make any difference on the battlefield. on friday, russia claimed that its forces had taken control of cush give come a settlement just south of buck. mood in eastern ukraine's done that screeching steadfast reports now from rom shine air base. in germany, us defense secretary lloyd austin was hoping to deliver fatter news to his ukrainian counterpart at the ramstein air base. but it was to be no commitment from germany that it would send its lap tanks to ukraine. we don't feel anything. we are just do a responsibility for our population in germany and in europe. and we have to balance . busy all the pros and cons of before the re, re decide things like that, just like there is nothing else. and i'm very sure that there will be a decision in the short term, but i don't know why, and i don't know. wow, how the decision will look. this lack of a concrete timeline is despite germany's nato allies and ukraine itself,

pressuring heart for the thanks to be sent. i encourage you to make such decisions that can deprive rossi evil all of any power. you can start with this policy today. it is in your power to mega ramstein of tags not to bargain about different numbers of tense, but to open a principal supply that will stop ration evil. some fear that sending leper thanks could mean an escalation of the war. contract nato into a direct confrontation with russia. the tanks have been sold to dozens of countries around the world. those who want to export him to ukraine need permission from germany 1st, after weeks of international pressure, germany has made it clear that it will take a decision on whether or not to send lap a thanks to you crane. in its own time, president lansky split the time is not

a luxury his country has had little effect because germany says it's a decision that needs to be carefully wait. despite the sat back to have been promises of new military hartwell for ukraine, you as the plan secretary austin urgent countries not to waste too much time. this is a decisive decade for the world. this is a decisive moment for ukraine struggle to defend itself. so those counter group, walmart, slow down, we're going to continue to dig deep based upon the progress that we've made today. i am confident that ukraine's partners from around the globe are determined to meet this moment in berlin. a group of foot asked us all to try to put pressure on the government to take a decision on sending leopard. thank. sooner rather than later step, fasten al jazeera at ramstein air base. we ukraine's defense minister or less gear

. as nick off says, he's had caught a frank discussion with the german defense minister boris. mysterious. about the supply of leopard times that talks on the matter would continue, were launched in 1979 and upgraded several times. they were currently around 2000 left tanks in 13 european armies, but they're in varying states of readiness. left for 2 is valued for its maneuverability. it's lighter than other comparable model such as britons challenge a 2. and a can also hit targets 5 kilometers away, whilst on the move will ukraine say they need at least 300 western tanks to repel a predicted spring russian offensive. poland and finland say they're ready to say they are left for tanks now, but the german government need to grant permission for the berlin manufactured tanks to be exported to a 3rd country. so no leopard tanks, he get for ukraine boats. natasha butler has more from keith on the help that has been pledged while it's clearly good news for ukraine, a dance, one of the best pieces of news that come out of this meeting today in germany that

ukraine has this ongoing support from a 50 countries in organizations the method ramstein for he what it is look for is not any support of course, but weapons. and it also has that a pledge of weapons and military aid from a number a whole european union countries, but also that huge military aid to plat package from the united states to point $5000000000.00. evil receive our tanks from the u. k. it will receive a munition, it will receive vehicles, helicopters, drones, how it is from a number of other countries. that's all great news for keith. however, he will be disappointed that germany has decided not to send its leopard thanks for the time being. and it also hasn't a green lighted, sending those leopard tanks for any of his other european partners that actually have them and have them ready to go. so that will be disappointing for keith. but

otherwise, it has been a meeting that has suddenly offered, are some positive aspects or for the ukrainian president of all of them is lensky. he has said from the beginning, look, ukraine is fighting. this will not only for ukraine, but for europe, for the rest of the world for democracy. and that is how it's very much seen here in ukraine that they would like to see less talk, less discussion over what to say and what weapons when they want those weapons. now as soon as possible, especially as there is talk of russia, possibly launching a new offensive in the spring. an alley hash hm is in moscow with that the russian reaction. it's a matter of concern for moscow, and we can see that in the lines coming from the russian foreign ministry that sees supplying a cave with more weapons, will escalade the situation as for the, for the ministry and will cause more casualties for missed. you also accuse the west of hypocrisy for ignoring the casualties on the other side of the borders as

for the russians now also the, the criminal and warned that this the supply of weapons will take the conflict into another level and will put natal face to face with the russians that urged the coming in the west and lions to take into consideration the concerns of mosca because this could help de escalate. however, the score dmitri prescott spoke certain for for kremlin, said that nothing is going to change in the field. and this is, this is just creating more targets for the, for the russians. and, you know, this is kind of escalating the, that i taught here in more school, more school with the more with more consent. now i was also taking into consideration the situation with respect to its public opinion, so it's reaching to the foreign foreign countries trying to give a position

a stance, but also trying to suit the concerns inside the country and try to convey a message that there are still options trying to raise the stake and say everything is going to, according to the plan. well, 3 u. n. a chucks, carrying food, water, and medicines of managed to reach people on the front line in eastern you crave the area around solar door that's in the dynette screech, and has seen intense fighting between russian and ukrainian forces. recently the us is looking to increase the number of aid convoys getting to the front line over the next few days and weeks. but my city of buckman in easton, ukraine has been the focus also of intense fighting for months now. ukrainian forces appears to be holding out against the russian military is a while. hunch explains tracy of de la chateau female. this is the city of buck move an eastern ukraine. warplanes are part of ukraine's air defenses, against russia's relentless armoured vehicles,

lined the streets waiting to be deployed. makeshift markets are set up in the safest areas for those who have money venture out to get what they need. those who don't wait for aid to arrive. ukrainian soldiers realize that they're at a turning point in the war. fierce fighting is happening across the city, suggesting no end is in sight. the most important items we receive are the torches . we also get bottled water. the city has no water or electricity. we are grateful to everyone who is helping this is the 1st time at the station, but food and blankets are handed out every day. you click with your soldiers in the engineering units have started to dig trenches, set up fortifications in the heart of buck mashhad, buck, others are planting land mines insisting they will make rushes advance as difficult as possible. sir, that was no more than we prepared for guerrilla warfare. oberlin kids to that,

but hope is not enough. we must be prepared. i think the wagner forces over it is there a group of thugs and criminals? colonel whitman's place in the city is not besieged, say the ukrainians, however, is not in good shape. and more reinforcements are needed for the inevitable battle . decide to go. i don't know connie, i to the ice. why resty, mccraney and forces are preparing for the worst case scenario in the fight, didn't about if you are done, film done. fighters are on high alert, watching the enemies every movement. mr. hutton, in the recon command center, drones of various shapes and sizes are deployed and followed vigilantly from these screams. with time. the operators have become more experienced. their job is no less important than those fighting in the trenches. people at poor c o. r, woot shaved lives of our fellow soldiers. we detect any enemy movement using those drones. we enable our forces to move and penetrate their lines safely. we succeeded

in destroying heavy vehicles in artillery on the buckman phone line. the russians operate similar units. the soldiers say, both sides are equipped with artillery and tank, liking them to you. however, quick decision making is what tips the scales in ukraine's favor, they say, cemented by the determination to defend their homeland or mark malik brown as the president of open society foundations in a former you. and if she secretary general, he joins us now. live mister mark brand, very warm. welcome to the program. in your view, what's behind this debates over tanks for ukraine? well, i think for a long time there was a very good reason why not to provide offensive weapons in building. so that was the design not to escalate the conflict to, to contain it within ukraine's territory. and to give you great acronyms, it needed to defend itself, but not to do anything which encouraged or incentivized an expansion of the

conflict either into crime me or let learn rush for it. so what is this thing is want on, it's become clear and clear that there is some sort of built in advance just to russia and letting it go on an inductor is possible. russia does long was, it was, was exhausted. germany in the 2nd world war, as it march into russia, like russia, soviet union to a 9 year engagement in afghanistan, lacking democratic accountability. it does long, well when it comes to conflict, it's also a much more reckless approach to life than democracy and so seems up to mobilizing hundreds of thousands, if not millions of concepts even if that canon father to try and overwhelm ukrainian defenses. and so in that context, it's become clear that the only way,

despite grains relative success on the battlefield, to get russia and do tend to the negotiating table, is to really deliver him something much closer to knock out, which makes him realize he's lost. and if he doesn't realize that is around him to realize the games over. and so i think the debate in recent weeks is moved from the complacency of kinds defending itself. wow. to a recognition that will never be in a sustainable piece until, you know, russia is forced to kind of come to the table in that song in row. and so the debate is moved on. and, you know, i think you saw in ramstein today, you know, an awful lot of defense ministers, not just the americans, the polls, the british albums, you know, arguing we've just got to give strong punch through offensive capability to the

ukrainians and not in both times as well, as miss so much, we've heard that there is 2500000000 potentially on the table for the military support the given what you've said, that russia and goes in for for long was, is it enough? are there other elements of support that that could be required? no, no, i mean this will cost ukraine, but in a month that i'm probably more at the cost of this will be an infrastructure increases. and i think in that sense, that just isn't yet a sort of scaling of western support to the size of the crisis. and you know, i say that spike being one of those, you actually worries that, you know, the west has got so consumed by the grand conflict. but it's not doing enough about the debt and humanitarian crises in the rest of the world. but, you know, you, if you don't sell one problem by sort of re addressing to the next and i think

you crane need the response on the scale just as the problems of that and famine in other parts of the world. the, the response of sufficient stay on the line where at the moment where it, that economic problems in developed countries is inflation rest means that no to western states when the best way to easily reach that checkbook. so they've done a huge amount of new crime, but the bad news is it's not enough. and mike at davis, we also heard calls to what's being called a special trevino to investigate, actually prosecute what are seen as russian war crimes. and how likely is it that we would see a tribunal like this, and how would it sit alongside continued military action and support? well, you know, in the same way that there was an argument about weapons. don't expand the war,

don't provide russia, keep it within the boundaries of ukraine. was simply an argument about this sort of range of justice issues and human rights and war crimes issues. you know, you've got to leave it in an exit route. don't accuse him of being a war criminal so that he has a choice but to get to the war. but this is trying to what happened in the aftermath and gang. i think that argument has been overtaken by events. you know, here is a, i'm a member of the security council which has thrown itself into the status of a rogue state. and i and it is committing war crimes are quite extraordinary level . it's using its retailer in the un security council itself, a degree of international action against the consequences of back. but i think the move in a really significant part of the world, not everywhere, but the mood and

a growing number of countries is enough's enough. presentation is a war criminal is country is committed an extraordinary act of aggression, incomplete breach of the un charter. it takes kind of a hybrid tribunal to establish and then prosecute the crime of war of aggression. that moment baby arrived. now, you know, in an ideal world, you would want to treat this as a matter of judgment. but the security council, but in the world where a road state has a determined mark counsel, you may be forced back onto this sort of court for a ride of aggression as a means of addressing this mark malik brown. and thank you very much for joining us . with your thoughts, thank you. thank you. coming up on this news are from london. the battle to protect disappearing wilderness since i,

brazil's rates where officers track and are apprehending illegal, loggers breaching the agenda gap in sierra leone. the new law ensuring 30 percent of jobs are reserved for women, plus iraq hold a victory parade on the water after their arabian gulf. when that's coming up with still a little later in sports. ah . asylum seekers a time to reach you or have described being forcibly moved from italy to greece on makeshift, presence in fairies, al jazeera, as part of an investigation with lighthouse reports and other media partners has our testimony about refugees being locked in small rooms without food or water is still in a hall reports from bari, italy. some of the victims are minus across the adrian attic, see from greece, the port of berry in southern italy. it's one of the number of ferry roots used by

migrants and refugees from countries like iraq, syria, and afghan extent, who risked their lives stowed away in hidden compartments on trucks. the crossing between different greek and italian ports can take between 9 and 30 hours. some di trying others are discovered on board and handed to the italian police liber sana, john. laura, combed out the leave your lens. people have told us about violence, an act of force, about being locked up about being dragged from the ferry. one person had an epileptic attack and was, let's say, dragged and kicked by the crew. one woman told us of invasive searches over intimate pass. it's alleged, they're often not provided with translators as required by law, and that some prevented from claiming asylum before being returned to greece locked in the vessel. they arrived in occasionally leaving, assigning, they were there,

edged on the wall. this man pictured himself in may last year, handcuff to the railings on a fairy bound for greece, using his description of the vessel and its route. this storage space was located in the vehicle bay below deck and in the greek port of patrol, we meet belushi from us gun a stand. his story is all the more significant because his documents show that he's a minor aged 17 the home on monday given him, i've been here for 6 months and they said many games. once i have under a refrigerated truck and it went inside the big ship. and when it arrived on the truck left the ship, i was found and arrested. they did not question me about a seeking asylums. they did not take my fingerprints because they just put me inside a small room and sent me back to greece. it's not unusual for commercial fairies to have a small lock up room on board, sometimes used to secure unruly passengers. for instance, on this one, we found

a holding cell. the crew were heard to refer to as the prison line approach you now the up of the of the deck, the base very the shop is between the a. tell me both of barry and the brick quotes are packed for us, and he will need suck. and here in the bow of the vessel is a metal box, angular, unprepossessing, a tool that is inside. there's nothing more than a sheath and cardboard on the floor. words identified as kurdish scrolled on the wall, but there illegible. responding to our investigation, the fairy company concerns said it fully complies with national and international law. actions, behaviors and practices such as these it wrote, have never taken place on any of its vessels. and confronted with the evidence, the bowery police commissioner denied italian complicity as well. going on all i elaborate soon shown at the da chart. i wouldn't dare to say that doesn't happen

. i've seen the pictures of that person handcuffed, but i don't know the context or where it took place o e contest though. a log de la chose him in school another, but out. yeah. and now my colleagues telling me that the place don't even get on the ship. this is an important point. we hand the migrant to the ferry crew and he's then handed over to the ferry captain. a tacit admission that forced returns do take place. but a defense that activists find unconvincing solitaire stuck at the west. i am certain that they talon police are aware the border police. a lot of this is done by or in front of the italian police lawfully. we denounce, not only that this forced returns are illegitimate, but also that they take place without formal procedures yet with no record of what actually happens. in fact, the numbers are impossible to find out. but anyway,

in 2014, the european court of human rights found that italy had illegally detained and returned 35 asylum seekers by ferry to greece. the italian government has since insisted the practice no longer occurs. yet our investigation has her testimony from 8 people who've been forcibly returned from italy to greece in just the past 12 months. joan, a whole elder, 0 in bari, italy, 7 people have been killed in an attack on a refugee camp in eastern democratic republic of congo. it comes after un. peacekeepers discovered mass graves containing the bodies of more than 40 people in villages near the camp. it to rip, coven. ongoing violence in the region has resulted in the largest displacement crisis in africa. will go will center for the responsibility to protect says abuses include unlawful killings, the recruitment and use of children, sexual violence, and rate looting, and the tax on civilian infrastructure such as schools and health centers. in the 3

a few hours, as a militia withdrew from the area, i came back to check around and i found the dead body of my husband, among others along the road site. many of the relatives of the victims only found the bodies of their loved ones. days after kit echoes fighters left the area i went on my share day, the malicious recurring mini machetes, and summer guns. i saw them from well hiding myself in the machine. these were covered with blood after they finish killing all the people has. and i wanna buy my kid eco originated in a conflict over grazing and farm land that we can decades ago for on ethnic lines. now the group controls lucrative trade routes and gold mines is quin stronger in recent months. the u. n says attacks by ca deco and it's rivals i year should be investigated, is december 2022. the mission reports that at least 195 civilians have been killed . and $68.00 injured as well as $84.00 people abducted during several incidents

from prisons. salem seekers trying to reach you or above describing kept an unofficial prisons on fairies where they are forcibly returned from italy. the testimonies are part of an al jazeera investigation and partnership with lighthouse reports and other media. 7 people have been killed in a town called refugee camp. an eastern democratic republic of congo. un peacekeepers also discovered mass graves containing the bodies and washed 40 people in the villages near the camp. for more in our top story, the u. s. designating the russian wagner group is an international criminal organization that speak to peter l. so he's an associate professor at the national defense university in washington, d. c. and he joins us live at now. everyone, welcome to the program pizza. good to have you with us. what's the significance of the wagner group being declared to a criminal organization? and will these sanctions have any effect on how we operate? well, i think it's important, but it's symbolic because it's not going to self law group from participating in

the most brutal way in the war on ukraine. it's not going to stop them. russia has interest in central african republic kamali. the 90 states are pretty much withdrawn from those areas, so they know they walk in or people know what they're going for. so i don't think they have serious assets in western countries. so it's not going to have between americans and you mentioned they recruited a lot of prisoners now like serious convicts so on, on the war and ukraine. i don't think it's going to have a significant impact. peter, how much do we know about how large their role is in the conflict to mean they've, they've been accused of taking delivery of arms from north korea. do we have any idea how big their role is? they're all in the war, and ukraine is clearly very big, particularly since recently, since russia has claimed some minor victories but victories. the reality is that

the conventional russian army of this war has shown is pretty weak. and the most important thing that you can call it a colonial army, they basically recruit the poor citizens of russia from ethnic minorities. and this people have no will to fight because they don't know what they're fighting for the ukrainian. so fighting for their model. and this people are going basically for money, and many of them were shocked with the brought to ukraine. so very opposite from what the russian propaganda says. the russian army has a very little moral. so the only way to spike moran and to bring victorious if to bring this people who get a lot of money. well, basically professional mercenaries and also professional criminals released from jail. that's what styling actually did as well. and pizza, there are reports that,

that their role in the war is causing tensions within russia itself. so we know how true that is. is definitely true. even from open sources. you can hear that there are different factions. if you look the commanding general of the russian army, i believe there's been 3 now since the beginning of the war and food and changes them all the time. and, oh, the, the owner of the wagner group, and, and the leader of chicha church down there, of which you also got there. if you can see a sort of a leader or a type of wagner group, which he has militia, the express unhappiness with the command several times and the called for intensification of the war. so there are clearly some debates and conflicts between the wagner group and the europe on the one hand and the command of the russian conventional army pizza. you mentioned there the church,

are they the only group providing fight or russia are there others that we should also be paying attention to? well, there are many people from the caucasus like, for example, gets done, have provided. and it has doesn't sort of miss it is different ethnic groups that i mentioned in the colonial war with a colonial army. so they've been pro just there as well, but the church. and so the most notorious. but we don't know how we need by rough estimates, it could be anywhere between 20 and 30000 and trust me this people have no allegiance to russian or whatever they say. and i think it's so very much between the fuji and kind of father and son relations. if you take put him out of equation, he's army way to on against again, against russia to the ration like it happens in the ninety's. peter helps off,

they're joining us live from washington, d. c. p. so thanks so much for joining us. be a thoughts. thank you for having me. thank you. i think sweet song from the impeachment and the rest to form a peruvian president. pedro castillo thousands of protest. this continued to take to the streets in violent cautious with police. more than 50 people have been killed in protest since december calling for president, dean of law to resign. but human rights groups accused the police and army of using excessive force and deadly weapons for artists calling the dialogue and has by to punish those behind the race. marianna sanchez joined his life now from the capital b ma. hi there, marin. what, what's the situation like just now? i will julie, what people have been already marching around, some area, some street to here in the capitol in the center of the capitol. they are back there. a group are behind me,

whooping up. as you can see, the police have been walking this whole area in the plaza, not only from here, but all around the plaza. are part of it because there was a fire last night and they want to protect the area. but also because congress, which is the place where most of protesters want to get to is behind the plaza. so they're blocking the area. so protesters won't get there to this large avenue that takes to congress work. most of the clashes have taken place in the past few weeks, including yesterday. now, people are still protesting, not only in other parts of the country. there's been violence, clashes in cities like who school, who know and add a key by where protesters are trying to take over the airport. the number of rolls located has increased to a 120 from 20 yesterday. that's why the authorities are saying. and so there are

marches in 40 then provinces, so the situation is still escalating and we were talking to some our protesters here. and they were saying that they are very angry at the government because of the deaths that are growing as well. and they say that the police 1st shoot and then the government ask for forgiveness, and that's not what they want. but also they said that they will continue protesting here in the capitol. but there is really no strategy to lead. people are going around. there isn't a unity among them, so you see a group in one area or another group in another area. and that's because there is no, are there is no leadership is among the protesters. it doesn't mean that they will not continue to go on protesting in the streets of the capital and the country marian, and that was going to be my next question. if there is no unity,

as you point out and we saw the president gave a message to the nation last night, it does it help the situation? does it help to calm things? what do you think it will take? take to to bring down pensions? well the president has said that everything is under control. i don't think very many people would be agreed to to that part of the message. then she said that the cabinet was united more than ever. well, she's been 6 weeks in office. there's been 3, interior ministers. there's been no political costs for the deb, especially those are people killed by fire arms that we've seen and videos of the army opening fire against protesters are the for the defense minister at that time instead was awarded. and given the post of prime minister, so people are angry at, at this. and then she also wins after protesters,

1st congratulating security forces and then enough to protest her saying, well, why, who's financing you? why are you protesting? what kind of money are you going to bring home? you are going to tossing pay off and you want to seize power. these kinds of things that honestly, in the 6 weeks that we've been covering this unrest in the country, we have not heard anyone saying that they want to seize power or so what will you ask me? what will it take for, for things to come down at this point? i think many analysts are seen and i think they're right doubt it will be all the are the, you know, a lot of this resignation, dooley, marin sanchez. they are joining us live with the very latest from lee ma marianna. thank you. he's in brazil have carried out raids on people suspected of being involved in the storming of government buildings early of this month. authority say they're looking to identify people who participated in or funded the ride on
