11:07 am
that there is an a situation and restore and that a governing bodies are blocked under that it should be something done about this. i have so much thank you for that. updates will that's across the live to join a home. now who's in teams and how is this falls and developments being viewed. audio thoughts is as well you can be absolutely certain that you paid in political and military leadership will be fixed to these developments. trying to decide for what they may mean for the rest of the states and also for the wider battlefield and one senior ministry, a senior political adviser to below the minutes that landscape has said that this points to will be splits in the russian elite and has said that everything is just beginning in russia, as they watch events on folder and close,
11:08 am
watching closely as well will be ukraine's nato back. as the ministry of defense in the u. k. has said that this is the most serious challenge to the russian states in recent times, as for the battlefield itself, one big question will be and we can't independent the answer, it just how many of volume is forces deployed on the front lines of the south and east here in ukraine may have being re deployed now to these efforts in real simple and on, and further north and what holes they may have left behind in places like back moot that big city in the east. but it's been so heavily for over. wagner forces what 9 to being in defensive positions that does that creates an opportunity for you trying to redouble its efforts. it is a pressure point in the country of offensive. that is something that'd be asking, and of course they'll be waiting and watching for any sign that didn't that hugely important have brought cellphone down the headquarters of rushes, southern ministry combined effectively by headquarters of this war. whether any of
11:09 am
these events are causing instability or disruption to come on and control structures and turn a despite all of this uh, overnight strikes have continued. oh, that's right. another night to follow the early hours of the morning of miss ald strikes on targets across ukraine in the city south central city of to the pro residential building. struck that somebody that them people into the including children, less severe attacks on talk. even the ne, close to the russian border and on creevy in the center. but here in the capitol cheve for the 8th night this month alone, a barrels were told by the city administrating instruction of some 20 messiahs came in in the hours of the morning hold down by a defense. it was a very noisy and busy night for the air defenses, but it goes that creates debris in the sky. it has the hole somewhere on this occasion, passing a huge swain through a high rise apartment building there. a piece of unexploded ordnance from me saw
11:10 am
overall kid hitting the 16th floor there, causing a fire on 3 floors. the 1617 and 18. 3 people known to have died so far. emergencies crew still inside that building and believe it is possible, other victims remain inside the rubble. they would have been an air alert in place at the time, of course, but frankly, these right alerts happen so often in the early hours of the morning that a lot of people would prefer to shelter in that apartments, then spend nights off to 19 bomb shelters. and underground bunkers live for us in key there during the whole. thank you. let's cross to must go to speak with you the shop of out of the now you the what's the view from us got tool this so basically, uh, well, not so long ago what has from the russian president from of legitimate page and, and he assured that the russian authorities will not allow the country to be
11:11 am
divided. they will protect its people, of course, and russia now is fighting for its future and forbes identity. and he was cooling the situation in the country. trees and an internal betrayal, saying that any internal unrest isn't deadly, a threat to the state and to the russian people. also, the russian armed forces have received all the necessary orders to neutralize, so to speak, the organizes only the rebellion. and he also mentioned the conflicts with ukraine, saying that the entire western military machine was directed against russia now, according to him, the dog and his finances, who participated in this special operation in ukraine or heroes. and now they shouldn't join the military rebellion. well, so previously had from the ministry of defense they, they also issued the official statement. and uh, well basically they said that they addressed the functions of the blogs and group saying that they had got involved in progressions,
11:12 am
criminal activities and participated in an armed rebellion. and they also guaranteed everyone's safety if the finances surrendered. and now we see the raw report by states media outlets saying that some finances did return to the initial positions as they had been asked to by the on the personnel. however, according to various sources, since the 1st publications of free goes and statements and his actions that have not been confirmations of clashes between real classes between wagner and the regular army, dora pulls that the wagner group now controls the consent to end the number of security and the ministry for citizens of russia, some of the city of real stalled including an ad field. but according to report, ministry planes that continue carrying out the emissions and according to secure to set this has several command centers in the city of their owners. have also been captured by wagner. the picture is showing pre goes from the goes facing, was too high ranking on the generals, eunice, becky, of cooler,
11:13 am
of internal alex's. and they were wanting progression about the consequences of his actions. so regarding claims the, the wagner forces had showed down a helicopter that opened fire on a civilian conroy while other sources reported about 2 on a helicopters. and so while firing at several is not going to vehicles in the rest of the region, but well, that information hasn't been officially confirmed. i also think ocean said that the valves and agree but will destroy everything around if everybody or any bullshit, basically trying to stop them. so i think that's the latest we have here. you. there's something about it for now. thank you. on the battlefield. progress has been slow in the early stages of keys counter offensive. ukraine says it's recap to at least 8 villages us. it seeks to exploit weaknesses and russian defense. lots. so i'll stop for this in the front line in each of storage. i think where you crate is fighting for full control of the russian full series of withdrawal. and from
11:14 am
what remains of this part, the village is people fled or destroyed ukrainian military vehicles is towed from the battlefield. did russian soldiers in the gross ukrainian ministry last week announced it had complete the re taking the village of stores ever. but that's not quite true. the pricing you can see here is as a result of the russian, it strikes yesterday you courtney minutes. we are telling us that's low, they please. so they say the majority of this village, there is still ongoing fighting on the outskirts and they say they are facing fierce resistance promotion policies. the ukraine's counter offensive was expected for months that gave russian forces time to prepare the 2 gods. they have strong app on the lots of infantry supported by heavy onto it and then moving slowly towards us,
11:15 am
but with killing them. but we're conducting small defensive operations on the outskirts of the village along the forest line. but there were many mines worked around 200 kilometers. no. the russian occupied town of camina barrels off the barrel eligibility to re far it goes through the forest ukrainian soldiers here on the russian positions or a few 100 meters away. ukrainian forces. we took this area joint account you were offensive. last summer, nita side has made major bones for months. but as you create an army began to prove a weakness in russian defences to the south. things here began to change is just who it is just on the street. there is nothing good here. visitation is very dense. well, the opinion list of like a lot of stuff in the, the trench come on to tells us to take
11:16 am
a couple of because russian helicopter gunship like in the area you, there is constant fight for more to is tillery helicopters, as strikes and small arms, their sole top position in small groups, they're trying to break through to capture an important supply route hauled go often early days says ukraine and it's, and they towed back as if they ever is a decisive breakthrough. it could take months. charles profit alger 0, eastern new grain. what sort of head on that? i'll just say i will have all the rest of the days. nice thing in the middle of a major cost of living costs is we report from here in the i, the had low, the sound, the storms are taking center stage across europe. this we can, you can see from the satellite image,
11:17 am
those batch of storms pushing that way. further east. we've already seen the heavy rain from the assistance in germany. but by the time we get into such a much clearer picture, the worst of the weather, pushing across into crane, stretching down across the bulk and nothing temperatures down all the way down to grease. but athens holding strong, its 33 degrees celsius, the sum whatsoever coming in is that even noticed heavy as the rain has been much dry out to that south west of the beer in peninsula, we're going to see things heat up. we've got warnings out for portugal on saturday by sunday that heat pushing across into spain. and just to give you an idea of how hawk is going to get in quoted about 44 degrees celsius by monday. so lots of sunshine and hot weather in that trend continues as we headed to the north. west london continued continuing to see the temperature of push up. so actually degrees by the time we get to sunday, but west of weather starting to move across the island of island, i need to know the areas of the u. k. much dryer for the east to this. the scan to
11:18 am
navy a temperature is continuing to rise up, also coming in at 20 degrees celsius on sunday, to the how to staples control information, the controlling the narrative, to dominate thing, the media. how does the narrative improve public opinion and norma? spite, you might not be the most important story about china of today, but that's what the big piece of attention to. how is citizen to listen? we placing the story, the listening post, i fixed the media. we don't cover the news, we cover the way the news is covered. the
11:19 am
the welcome back her mind about top stores, rushes press the button that boots in as address the nation of to evolve. net mostly forces, claim control of minute 2 sites and most of homes on describe the move as treason said, decisive action takes any idea of getting productions fights is crushed into. something's russia from the front lines and the time the keys rushes defense, minutes to a quarter in check strikes against any sense. the question is bonding an urgent meeting with russia's ministry. leadership space security service has ordered his arrest. charges of exciting rebellion. any of my colleagues saw him rockman spoke to john. no, he's the director of defense policies. a washington dc based the think tank explains why precaution is making
11:20 am
a move against the ministry establishment or the most important expected to be a 4 or while accounts is turned into a protracted war. and now it has brought political to our model, the home from studies. ready we want to avoid. what we know, of course, is that the group has marked on parts of southern russia to senior generals generals for leaking in general, letting me elect, save, have appealed to business owners to put down their arms. there are security personnel in moscow who have been told to stand by post office taking special security measures. so this is an unfolding crisis, and i don't think you've seen the end of it. the interesting question is whether progression is acting as a loan rules, which would be suicidal, rational, he hasn't shown any signs of that yet. whether he's back by all the forces, we don't know, i don't know, but it's something to a watch for. ok, so in your analysis and what you've been sort of research and looking at these past few months while the conflict has been ongoing,
11:21 am
is there any basis or any facts to the accusations that broken it saying that most ago is kelly engel turned against his wagner. forces we only have to go into word for it, but this began with precaution, accusing the military withholding supplies, then it choosing the defense ministry on the chair of general stuff, general garage them, open, open competence, then comes as late as accusation. but we also had a statement regarding that said, the war was unnecessary, the russian people have been misled and before that, he wonderful war could turn into a revolution. so he's been up and the idea now you decide to take on the rocks in state and by the near point in personal approach couldn't possibly con russell a lots of fet, those by what he's saying. and what's going on right now. but there is actions mean there is the worry for most sco that this could start to dump and no type of effect that they may be of
11:22 am
a disgruntled military officials in other parts of the country that agree with what process can actually have to say. i may be thinking about joining him, perhaps. this much is absolutely clear. it is certainly across the mind of the senior russian leadership, including the superintendent that could happen, hence the appeal, but to very senior general's speaking to the wagner group, addressing them almost his comrades and telling them we do not want to push the confusion into a civil war, the enemy is waiting for that to happen. please go back to your station as your barracks and obeyed the elected leaders of the country. so i think they are indeed very worried that they're facing the situation that is heading that direction, but they don't know, and they're not taking any chances are of these now polls has opened for presidential and parliamentary elections in sierra leone. the presidential votes is the 5th since the end of the civil war 21 years ago. president to this amount of the is seeking re election, is the 1st time was dominated by
11:23 am
a cost of living crisis. well positioned, that politician cembura camara is considered his strongest challenge. it may be addressed reports from the capital freed of this election campaign. in particular, as a father divided the nation and whoever wins today's election, is going to have a very, very tough job of uniting 7 years. and in order to tackle the task ahead. now basically coming to the polling station this morning, the tunnel just became impressive. dozens of queued up even before pulls open. and right now, right behind me, this folding unit of the shows are trying to put the record straight before voting stats officially. uh, officially, voting started 25 minutes ago. but at this point, the station, they're still trying to sort out the i created the processes and then over here the,
11:24 am
these are the boxes for the election cost on the elections and parliamentary elections. but the most important election, of course, is over here. the presidential election, this is the box across that are you in the people and observe us we've been looking at specifically to see who wins this particular election that affected candidates, but to i expect it to be the phone, try those. now this is what we expect to see, and the voltage is a voice, and we'll continue from here until probably in the evening when it ended and from the tunneling. would it be done before the we not respond to the announced to suddenly own us voters in the model that you have overwhelmingly, that changes to the constitution in a referendum imagery leadership that sees power 3 years ago said, altering the cost of tuition. we opened the way to civilian rule, but opponents say the changes gave too much power to the president. 97 percent voted yes, in the old on sunday, but it turned out it was less than 40 percent because hawk has more from doc. com
11:25 am
and they bring cynical this is a significant moment for molly and malia, and because a change in the constitution has been debated for the last 30 or is it, it seems that the multi military june sauce has succeeded. where previously elected presidents have failed it, organizing this referendum, but the level of participation, the voter turnout is pretty low. around 39 percent of orders came out to vote. that's in effect, similar to the last election or vote that took place in 2018. a large part of the population were fearful to go out to polling stations because there were threats from arm grooms linked to al qaeda and i so, but this is a significant moment for not just volumes, but for the region as a hole in a region where there's been a series of cruising burkina, faso and guinea. molly is the only country that is taking these steps towards
11:26 am
constitutional order and paving the way for return to democracy with elections scheduled for february 2024. but with this new constitution, the molly molly military june, that will be able to run in the upcoming presidential elections. and if he wins, then he will have greater power than any previous president in molly. the regions will have more ptolemy, but there will be greater oversight on the president himself. he'll be a senate, a constitutional courts, and the president will be limited to, to mandate. so this is great steps for a new constitution and with elections planned for february 2024. nicholas hawk alger 0. the car, it's one of the was poorest countries, which is also happened to the well 2nd largest rain forest and critically important ecosystem change is on the way democratic republic of congo. as
11:27 am
a search for oil and gas is about to begin. the government says orange thing off the docks to energy companies will boost the economy before it's committed to say they haven't been consulted. and the 2nd all of his reports from that, the aussie is our environment. that is the clock. so they have everything and nothing. the reinforce of dlc the provide for the 10s of thousands of small communities who live the from a roof over their heads to food for the pot. bought infrastructure is minimal. schools and hospitals if any, a barely equipped electricity. none. the question for hops, oral can change things to the back to, to find out on next mode of transport. the, the, to the travel of the 2 days on the river road america, by the way, to the nearest village. that's correct. they're all on the
