robberies, rape, and massacres by western countries. but the wagner group says it's done nothing wrong. they call themselves musicians, and they're backing concerts. intelligence estimate say, tens of thousands of wagner mercenaries have been involved in ukraine. russian criminal court bands mercenaries, but private armed security guards are allowed lead bay of guinea proportion believe to be close to the kremlin. the groups been involved in combat operations and syria, libya so done. the central african republic and ukraine, easier the other i'm more than this is the a more there's a perfectly established command and control system of the wagner private military company. every one is heard. every one can hire their opinion. all conversations only with the phrase, what their opinion is there, and what else is needed to complete the tasks. if decisions are made, once it's made, all tasks are carried out and no one can back down. the brutal discipline gives us

these opportunities. that is why the wagner went forward and will go forward. they do not see themselves as cannon fodder and their view, their heroes fighting for their country. walner used sorcerer to lydia. wagner has its own artillery aviation to have their own training centers. it's an 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 fewer dead soldiers, and these groups are not bound by laws as regular armies. united nation studies has hired as security guards. private 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. a has been accused

but accused of racism claiming there was a criminal plot to change the country's identity through illegal migration. one hundreds of migrants from all the african nations have fled after wave of attacks. us as deeply concerned by the remarks and reports of arbitrary arrests. as you heard from the world bank, we too are deeply concerned by presentations, remarks regarding migration from subsaharan, africa to tunisia, and reports of arbitrary arrest of migrants in recent weeks. these remarks are not in keeping with tunisia long history of generosity and hosting and protecting refugees. asylum seekers and migrants and were disturbed by reports of violence against these very migrants. over $100.00, unaccompanied miners have been found inside and abandoned trailer in the mexican states of vera cruz, the trailer had fans on ventilation ports cut into the roof. the migrants were color coded response to identify them of the client smugglers. there's been

a significant increase in the number of people from central america trying to cross into mexico since last year. my newer apollo has moved the story 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 they can make more money smuggling human beings that 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. still ahead on al jazeera, this was about the market, and this was about the attempted to stabilize, protest is not charged with domestic terrorism, terrorism and the united states, attacking a police training site. ah,

as an excuse to suppress chinese firms. and he said, because these countries are so important to major upon me is 2 of the most powerful countries in the world. it's simply too important not to get this relationship. right. and unless at washington changes it's direction. when approaching, they doing that? no amount of god wells will prevent this con, this in situation potentially from spiraling out of control into dangerous pencil. okay, thank you for that. katrina, you that 1st live in beijing. now an independent investigator will look into the alleged chinese influence in canada as 20192021 elections. prime minister just intruder has announced, but the investigator would have a wide mandates. last month. canadian media reported that china preferred to see today's liberals reelected in the 2021 election and work to defeats conservative politicians, opposition policies have been demanding

a world in which crisper is able to provide a rapid cure for the genetic mutations it encounters the next horizon. the next break for, for us as a community is to take that amazing technology and make it available, manufactured at such 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 to 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 of the 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 him to turn his announcement.
