wave bullets and bombs, and we always include the views from all sites on counting the called the global economy. it's fracturing is this, the ends at globalization. well, super rich because ball wealthier than everyone else. over the last 2 years, plus china dominates the red market. but europe just found its largest deposit that the metals counting the cost on algebra, singapore drug lead to a string execution, devastating family and fall case where protest want to be invested on the al jazeera ah . the u. s. to designate the wagner group is an international criminal organization for supplying mysteries to russia.

ah, let me focus this is out just to rely from. also coming up. germany still won't commit to sending leopard tongues to ukraine, thus, despite pressure from its nato allies, ah confrontations and peru between police and protests. those who are keeping up the pressure on the president to resign and an al jazeera joint investigation, trying to asylum seekers were forced to return from italy to greece and inhumane conditions. ah. plug into the program. the u. s. says it will designate russia's wagner group as an international criminal organization. the white house says there was now some 50000 wagner ministries operating in ukraine. the move will allow the as to apply why to

sanctions against the power military group. mike had a report from washington, d. c. a 3rd force and the ukraine conflict. soldiers from russia's bargain group, essentially hired mercenaries, many of them hired from russian prisons. the group is controlled by a guinea pig. oh, seen a close ally of that me putin. and this week featured in a video made by his own media service, visiting injured fighters in saint petersburg clinic. you must not pity a soldier at war. you must take care of him. therefore, each soldier should be unique. with more than 50000 deployed in ukraine, the wagner group has been on the u. s. rate. offer a number of months. and now it's been declared a significant transnational criminal organisation in coordination with this designation. we will also impose additional sanctions next week against wagner. and its support network across multiple continents. these actions recognize the trans

continental threat that wagner poses, including through it's ongoing pattern of series, criminal activity. at the same time though, the u. s. maintain said, a mounting rivalry between the father, the group, and the formal russian military could impact on russian performance and the ongoing war. we are seeing indications, including an intelligence. the tensions between wagner and the russian ministry of defense are increasing. wagner is becoming a rival power center to the russian military and other russian ministries, the russian army has a very low morale. so the only way to spike morale and to bring a vigorous is to bring this people who get a lot of money, who are basically professional mercenaries and also professional criminals released from jail. that's what styling actually did as well. viewers has also accused north career of arming the wagner group, displaying images of what it says are russian rail cars being loaded with north

korean weapons systems. potentially putting the group in a position where it could change battlefield dynamics and ukraine. something the u . s. clearly hopes it sanctions will help prevent mike hannah al jazeera washington . okay, well let's bring in some a perri. he's a visiting lecturer in war studies at kings college london. he's also the author of russia's road to war with ukraine. he joins us now from singapore. welcome to the program. firstly, let's start with wagner. what does the u. s. designate in the group as the transnational criminal has criminal organization actually change and actually mean in the way in which ukraine's allies deal with the group. oh, thank you very much for having the this is quite an important step because the u. s . has done this sort of thing with terrorist groups in the past after 911 without kind of ice this all of their offshoots. so that's quite well established international machinery to sanctioning the assets to prevent the travel to

effectively perceive individuals who are associated with the belong to a prescribed group. i know this is slightly different thing, given that this is a sort of a semi state organ. wagner is very close, you typed the russian government, but nonetheless, it was certainly be relying on some of its own international connections. and there was stories in the week as well about attempting to recruit my snares and serbia, for example. so you can see why having an international response to evolve as activities might actually be quite, quite successful. on the other hand, volunteers, we know we're recruiting plenty of prisoners from russian prisons. i don't think this sort of is going to have any impact on things happening inside of russia. however, it seems to be the united states doing this for now, but to other countries in the u for instance, need to also follow suit in this designation. that's absolutely right and certainly

the year is probably probably more frankly than the u. s. a is probably relying on networks extend to some parts of europe as well. so, as is often the case, the might take a little bit more time to achieve some kind of consensus on doing so. i would expect all the countries to fall. i states and i think the u. s. will be expecting that as well. the u. s. is also a quick turn around, so they believe that there are tensions between the kremlin and conventional conventional russian forces. and the wagner group led by the all agog of getting pre goes in. what do they mean by these tensions? and what do they basing that on? so russia's war, but as we, as we all know, is not going to a far as we're sure is concerned. and it means that there is a lot of pressure and tension on working on forces to be able to achieve things. and what wagner group is basically said to the russian military is follow our lead in the dumbass. that's why that's been this intense lighting of

a book and solid dog in the last few weeks and months. and because that's been a success for the russians in solid, all along the group be presenting this as being the author to success. but, you know, there were some defense ministry goals, i think what to call on the russian paratroopers. regular forces also been involved . the truth is we won't know exactly where the splits is, but ultimately that's going to be a lot of competition. it will say for resources as well, for russian military resources for wagner versus a rush for it. so who gets the most? that's mere also, north korea is being accused of supplying vogue with weapons. what sort of are we talking about? where are they made of these north korean manufactured weapons? yeah, that's really interesting. all the dimensions of this conflict is that mean pizza has got some trading partners around the world like china and india. but very few countries are actually supplying munitions to support the russian more irrelevant steroids and north korea as we're finding out now as well. very briefly,

north korea's and military relies on soviet era equipment. i was looking at a list of their equipment just for coming on and they have bt all that personnel carriers. they have t 34 t 54 tanks, really old fashioned soviet times, legacies of that cold war relationships. they may actually have a lot of weapons and ammunition that the version of forces can use really quickly. and then those crates can be incentivized to part with. maybe they want to more bias there in stocks as well. so i think that's part of the north korea and i go as a compatibility of north korean military equipment. what does ukraine's, what do you kind of need to do then to stem the flow of weapons from the likes of north korea and other so called rogue states into the conflict zone in eastern europe? it's quite a difficult thing to do. i mean, clearly china has the most important bilateral relationship with north korea, not russia necessarily. but there's not a lot that one can do because been both curious case as is also the case of the

wrong. both of these sites are to some extent per as no 3 years, a total parasites. so what will can you do in times of sanctioning a pressure on north korea this and that already on the 10th sanctions for the nuclear weapons program. so that missile testing, i think that's just one of the final observational miss. japan plays quite interesting role is japan feels very threatened by all that what's happening because the chinese and the russian trees put together much more place and it's the one see board. i actually think that we're thinking about that to the west and apartment states for i'm sorry that the world that may have to be involved in keeping a watchful eye of the career is actually doing in supplying these weapons. so me a great to hear your thoughts and analysis as always, to me, per a electric war studies at kings college london speaking to a staff from singapore many thanks. germany has still not yet decided whether to send leopard tanks to ukraine, justice by pressure to act from its nato partners. defense minister for more than
