mercenary group. if any precautions says his fighters position around the eastern ukrainian city of bach lute could collapse. and as i'm initial promised by moscow arrived soon, he says the extra military supplies were promised in february. propulsion says he isn't sure the delays on you to bra chrissy or betrayal. or the wagner group has been critical to russia's military campaign in ukraine. as fighters have been at the forefront in some of the most hard fought battles. but they've also been accused of human rights violations. of use of mercenaries in conflict is not unique to the war ukraine. someone can drive, it has more for moscow, mercenaries, or fighters. some of the men from this group are accused of robberies, rape, and massacres by western countries. but the wagner group says it's done nothing wrong. they call themselves musicians and their battles, concerts. intelligence estimate say, tens of thousands of bagman mercenaries have been involved in ukraine. russian

interesting solution to create the kind of private military company that russia has managed to create. they've learned from the british and the americans are super cool. but that's not unique for the russia ukraine conflict. and let's say the appeal of private armies means few were dead soldiers. and these groups are not bound by laws as regular armies. united nation studies has hired as security guards by contractors were performing military duties. the you and working groups as specific judicial actions needed to prosecute private, military and security companies involved in human rights violations. in 2014, the u. s. group black water was found guilty of killing 14 rocky civilians in 2007 in the 3rd continues its presence with different names. the u. e has been accused of hiring mercenaries in yemen. german x soldiers are being charged with creating a mercenary army to fight for saudi arabia, a hungarian israeli private security company. honor is accused of hiring u. s. military personnel to can specific individuals. and there is

initiative. and what will that look like? what will it look like as china brings itself, was gave us a little bit of a taste of that. he said that china is projecting itself as a protector of wolf heath, and global cures. each a defender multilateralism, that it will appear a gemini and cold woman policy as well as the coupling. and we need lateral sanctions. now he's only just begun speaking, but it's very clear already from his comments that china go hoping to go forward and stand. in contrast to the united states and it wants to really speak to not particularly the western countries or allies of the united states. but countries in the developing world that may be more open to seeing china as alternative systems and, and tentative will tell us to follow rather than the united states. and of course, these comments come as china's relationship with the u. s. has deteriorated and she's gone himself, has had a front seat to this. he is

a former chinese ambassador to do nighted state. so he was that in the, over the past year as we had these tensions of crane and i, one, he, was there really dealing with these very difficult episodes on the ground. now whether he's going to make a difference going forward to china's foreign policy remains to be seen. what we do know is that he is loyal to she didn't being and loyal to the chinese comment. pass in. we have seen with people solemnly in that role, is that regardless of what their personal style is, the personal santa's, they seem to very directly be taking directions from the top. so we do know that it was ever he says, going forward that will give us the clearest indication yet, how they doing intensely, go forward and carry itself into the world. and in terms of, it's far in diplomacy direction. that really you in beijing for us there live. thank you. an independent investigator will look into alleged chinese influence and

canada's 20192021 elections. following recent media report citing canadian intelligence sources. prime minister justin true though, announced the investigator would have a wide mandate. he also announced to other investigations into foreign interference . china denies the allegations. grayson, atlanta, georgia, say they detained 35 protests on sunday night after they set fire to parts for police training center construction site. 23 people have been charged with domestic terrorism or training center as a source of tension between police and some members of local community. are serious hydro castro has more surveillance video released by police shows protesters running toward officers in what police called a coordinated attack. atlantis police chief said the demonstrators hurled molotov cocktails, rocks, and fireworks. to disrupt the construction of a police training center. this was a very violent attack,

the courtesy very violent attack. this wasn't about a public safety training center. this was about the market. and this was about the attempt to the stabilize protesters say the target was an empty construction trailer that was set ablaze. no police officers were injured. a nearby music festival also held to oppose the construction, but separately organized was interrupted when officers descended. they decided to draw a gun on unarmed protesters. they decided to try to tackle and tase people in view of children. the protests have been happening since the project was announced in 2021. the city of atlanta says the $90000000.00 facility with in forest land will provide training space for police and firefighters. protest her say it's an effort to further militarize law enforcement. after the police killings of george floyd and other black americans, and they say it's an attack on the we lonnie forest of the native muskogee creek

identify them as the clients of smugglers. there's been a significant increase in the number of people from central america tried to cross into mexico since last year. i know that below has more from mexico city. these human smuggling networks, oftentimes they're very sophisticated, they're very large criminal groups. often they're associated with cartels that have found that it is that, that they can make more money smuggling human beings that they, than they can smuggling drugs into the united states. and again, we don't always see these large numbers, 343 migrant stuff to the back of a truck. that is a lot of people but, but we do see this happening is we do see incidents like these playing out almost every month just last month. that a 14 migrants were killed when a truck fell into a canal, the migrants died of the back of that truck drowned february 19th in the mexican state of war, haka 15 migrants killed during a road accident involving a bus filled with migrants there. and again, unfortunately,

these are instances that are likely to continue to occur because every year, tens of thousands of migrants from southern mexico, from central and south america are placing their lives in the hands of human smugglers. because more often than not, they do make their way into the united states. we don't always hear about these cases of large scale human smuggling, because most of the time people make it, it's only when these large accidents are these large numbers of people are found by authorities. do we hear about this on the news? and ultimately at the end of the day, we know that human smugglers know that it is big business to move people illegally across the mexico into the united states. every year. cutting edge gene therapies could become more accessible in the coming years. the practice is being discussed by scientists and policymakers that the human genome editing conference in london, turner hall, attended the 1st day of the summit and sent this report. victoria grey isn't used to the limelight a mum from mississippi. she's now the star attraction at the human genome editing

summit in london. here to describe the treatment that's changed her life. i think it is a great thing who doesn't want a good quality of life. where you don't have to suffer because my disease being too i was just going head into the, into her pain and hospital stays. it was a life that bill wasn't work leading. victoria has been cured of debilitating sickle cell disease by an experimental gene editing treatment. her story represents a major advance with implications for millions born with the red blood disease each year, inherited diseases like sickle cell, cystic fibrosis and huntington's. begin as variations in genes, the codes in human dna that tell the body how to make cells. new tools like the so called crisper system confined cut and replace faulty parts of genes to deliver

a corrected genetic code. senior research is like fyodor or enough for see a world in which crisper is able to provide a rapid cure for the genetic mutations that encounters the next horizon. the next, the break for, for us as a community, is to take that amazing technology and make it available, manufactured touch scale for the 10s of millions around the world who have a mutation that needs to be crisper. today it is a goal that raises important ethical concerns with one of the greatest concerns is that we're really moving in to what many people would call potentially not yet, but soon. a soft eugenics in which it's not just what do you want? have a baby? it's what kind of baby do you want to have, and you know, the potential for enhancements is there to be clear. no one at this summit is talking about eugenics. in fact, when a chinese scientist announced in his very forum 5 years ago that he wanted the

genetic makeup of embryos in a lab and then brought them to term. his announcement was met with shock and outrage. i felt like a hand nothing to lose out. i was it the end, but very precise editing of genetic code to treat and cure rare diseases is making its way from the experimental to the practical opiate currently at enormous cost. the next great challenge is to make it accessible and affordable. jonah whole al jazeera london or physician candidates in nigeria are protesting against the results of last week's presidential election. they're rejecting the outcome on a planning to challenge it in court with a to new or the governing party was declared the winner with 37 percent of the vote . i mean, he just has more from average the partners while i by began did it on the people's democratic, brought him up. i do have a guy who is running for the 6th time in this election. ah, he is demanding the cancellation of the election. but sir, but you might have
