of the world i cover foreign policy, national security. this is a political in house. here's the conflict. are we telling a good story? we're really interested in taking you in to a place that you might not visit otherwise. it's absolutely feel as if you were there. the a wagner military column comes on to fly on its way to moscow as the head of the masonry group bows to live, the troy rushes military leadership the head of until mccrae this is, they'll just say we're live from doha. also coming up prism side of it who's in vows to crush the most serious challenge to is 22 year road has one time ela, you've got a progression. the other thing is that, well,

they've got through the way you can lead me to the one who organized and prepared this military rebellion who raised arms against a comrades in arms has betrayed russia and will be held accountable for this must goes magically is monday as a known working day some most and bones of traffic restrictions as fog to find his head towards the capital and keys and its wisdom. allies are closely watching. the rebellion in russia is that you see a sportage could main foldable in ukraine, the rushes president, platinum, it person is facing an rebellion by the head of the wagner missing recruit. pacific any progression fusion has cooled as an act of treason and says, this nation is waging the top of special for its future goal eyes are on the m for highway which links real stuff on down to most scar. wagner 5 is

a taking that route and believe to be fast approaching the capital. but earlier they seized control of real stuff on done, which is the southern command center of rushes war. and you try and well pro kremlin children fight as a now believe to have taken positions in the city to find them. well, the wagner fighters have into the la fits region. that's just 6 hours drive from most go. most goes governor has urged locals to stay indoors and declared monday as a day off work to daniel hawkins is live for us and most go child strengths. it is near the ukrainian town of buck moved with the view from the front lines. the state boston is live in germany with the reactions of your crimes wisdom allies. washington is of course, also closely watching the movements in russia and we have mike hannah live from the david 1st is go to this report by michael apple. chechen sciences on the way to the city overall stuff on don,

it's and see where they are coming from. but often falling to crush the mutiny there apparently on a collision course with the wagner medicine res, the chechen lita rums unclear of has said his men would do every thing to preserve the unity of russia. wagner is supposed to seize control of the kremlin military headquarters in russ stuff on done early on saturday, saying they shut down a russian military helicopter pictures. images of almost $200.00 russian soldiers surrendering and social media has showed the wagner medicine res, on the streets of rust, of some of them, even finding the time to order fast food. later, as long the military convoy hitting north towards moscow came on to fly outside the city. a vote on this in a tv address rushed as president say, punishment for what he called wagner. the stab in the back was inevitable. to shoot

you an election that will, we will protect our people in our statehood from any threats including internal be trail and what we're facing is betrayal. exorbitant ambitions and personal interest led to treason, to the russian leaders. spelling out just how serious he thinks the threat from wagner is why we're moving it. smooth submitted to, you know, any internal turmoil is a deadly threat to our state hood to us as a nation. this is a blow to russia, to our people. russia's defense ministry appealed to wagner, despite his to a band and precaution, saying they'd been tricked into what was described as a leaders criminal adventure. and participation in an armed rebellion tension between wagner and the criminal ins on forces escalate to join the battle of buck moved with a mis. and res played a crucial role in the drawing out fight to capture the city in an audio recording progression, denied pollutants, accusation of trees and bipolar the distorted origin that we are patriots of our

homeland. we had been fighting and we are fighting now. no one is going to turn themselves in on demand of the president's f. s b or anyone else. because we do not want any more of our country to live in, corruption lies and bureaucracy. this is why we are the patriots, and those who are against us are the ones surrounding the scumbags police rated wagner is headquarters and some petersburg golf and investigation into pro goshen was launched. wild in moscow. security has been tightened and put in, signed a new law allowing for the t de, detentions, if marshal noise imposed mike level, hilda 0. let's talk to, daniel hawkins, who is live in most go and can just bring us up to date with the current situation alone getting for a highway from brussel and on to most go what is happening right now.

will this call them a volume and fight it? has been making its way rather rapidly from the southern ocean city of roast of north towards moscow. jessica, over the last hour or so, we understand that multiple shots have been heard in the city of were all stuff near the automated screw, or of course has been a heavy wagner for the present over the last day that's followed explosions in the city as what is unclear what the cause of those explosions and those shots was we do know that you didn't so much in special forces have been seen, at least on the outskirts of the city with attraction will probably lead to expressing his loyalty to the russian president and his intent to quell this rebellion. now the tension moscow is certainly very palpable on my journey to the city today. i so multiple police check points with police officers, hiring helmets, bulletproof best oldsmar weapons, something you just don't see on a regular day in moscow, on the vehicles come off a large truck, something you'd see once a year perhaps, and let somebody big cheap right now, making the way through central streets and guarding the key infrastructure in

moscow. now the most of the message from must go authorities from the most go math to everybody is a stay at home. don't use possible vehicles unless you have to on monday, of course, we'll be at the all for monday, people that this kind of terrorist operation machine is in force, which gives officers and security forces. many more additional powers that could be quite related to a state of most law. we just don't know, but people of course all worried about things like the incident going down power outages as well. a lot of uncertainty is today about what exactly is going to happen over the next 24 hours. do we have a sense of what's progression is trying to actually achieve through this rebellion as well? so many russians, precaution was in some ways the public. he wrote for his ministry victories and buck loads, and for the way he was perceived to speak truth to power and shining is what he perceives as the incompetence of the corruption within russia's top broth. with the

rush as high as a month, in his outbursts though he was very careful not to target, the russian president vladimir potent and he was only targeting the defense mass. the russian generals, the chief of staff, over the last 24 hours. his rhetoric has totally changed the escalated to something that nobody could have imagined. his rhetoric now is saying that the entire political system in russia is rolston, is corrupt, and it's his mission to, to change that to save russia from disaster. the plains are following all but 25000 . the wagner flies as also claiming he's got support all parts of the army of many of the russian population saying that some soldiers have joined his rank, such as columbus have moved up from southern to know the russia. now how accurate that is, it's hard to say, but suddenly the ease with which his forces have moved from, from bristol to the outskirts of moscow, indicates that might be some truth to that. his initial name is of course what to just seek a meeting, allegedly with the chief of general stuff. and the defense minister had that

happened before. he might have ended in rossville. it's clear though, now that these charges of armed rebellion had been both against him. he's getting only because he effectively has nothing to lose. the criminal lock was, is facing, is the biggest, most serious chinese ever improved since presidency. both sides are going, lynn, and it's very clear that this we tend to be decisive in the face of both precaution pmc wagner. and of course the phase of letting it puts in the russian government in the problem. yes, certainly a historic we can. thank you so much. that is daniel hopkins for us in moscow. a bell. let's get a view of the dramatic developments from the front front lines which health threats it to joins us on the road to back moot and eastern ukraine. and what is the situation where you are i suppose in the last hour or so there's definitely been an intensification of the sound of, of shilling,

possibly even as strikes over box moved. we were further up the road closer to the town. and there was incoming shedding and the surrounding fields, and that's why we, we pulled back. but certainly, according to the coordinate forces that we've been speaking to here, they all quietly encouraged by this news of this rebellion inside russia because goes, it gives them, potentially, and them lines an opportunity to exploit and push forward in this counter offensive that says so fall well, nobody's early stage is as being slow than expected. and so just here telling us that they were going to basically hate bomb moved hauled. exploiting the, the chaos in the woods that was only russian controlled side of the front line. we've seen a lot of military movement in this area today as well. a lot of infantry moving up this road towards the front lines. we can't verify in any way as to whether that is

directly as a result of what's happening in russia. but we've also seen helicopters, medical just that we believe of taking infantry to and from the front lines. it's going to be very interesting to see how developments around back moved to proceed in the next few days the ukrainians already saying or have in the last couple of weeks said that they had begun to take back small areas to the south of the city. we found independently confirmed that it was interesting early this morning there was also lines on verifiable that the ukrainians were had taken back. a number of streets again to the south of box. smoot, and just as i'm speaking here, i can hear more what sound like me saw as being launched towards the city and chelsea. i know you would have seen this because it's just come through in the last minute or 2, but you're kind of still climbing advances in several areas along the front line that's from a government administer there. i guess that goes to show you that i really are

trying to make the most of this uh, deteriorating situation within rusher and i guess what, what, what does that mean for the wider implications? a full discounts are offensive uh along the front line. do you think well, certainly, yes, logic would would suggest that russian policy is going to have to commit one with thing dealing with this crisis inside of russia and of course involved the bottom. the policies are going to be very much involved in the same in the same situation. i mean in the last space, 3 or 4 days we visited 2 areas of the front line, one of which was in a village of ukrainians. only about a week ago said that they had completely recaptured. well, that's not according to the soldiers that we found in that village. last, when we visited they said that there was only going fighting on the outskirts. there was still russian forces inside and they were bustling with them in, in the tree lines around that location. we also went to an area around to 200

kilometers north to the russian, occupied town of crew camina. that area was interesting because the areas around crimean it would be taken by ukraine in full season, the account drew offensive last summer. and since then, it's been very liberal in spite of the site, according to some very nervous ukrainian soldiers in the trenches that we met. the federal changed around 2 weeks ago when there was an escalation of attacks by russian forces trying to take control according to the ukrainians, have been and pulled supply line. so of course, if the all withdrawals of russian. ready is involved difficulties from the front lines then that may make the situation easy for ukrainians in their attempts to push fluid in this counter offensive. but of course it's very early days. it's very difficult to speculate. it's going to be very interesting to see what happens in the, in the hours even days ahead. that certainly will be. thank you so much. this child

stratford for us in eastern ukraine. well, last at boston is live in germany's so i'm a big town into step. how are you are paying leaders reacting to what's been happening in moscow in russia as well? a lot of phone calls going back and forth crisis me things across europe. the, the german government has just to confirm that the president biden has spoken to german transferred shoals, as well as to the french president, my coal and the british prime minister, sumac. and also you also for relative for when you a chief has spoken to all the g 74 in minnesota, he has installed basically this uh, this uh, this crisis response reaction. this is sort of a situation room in russell switch, a kind of money sort of situation 247. but it has to say the reaction so far. uh, if you look at the content is very tight,

lips are very careful because of course nobody in europe knows how the events in russia will on fold. and that's charles was saying, of course you are sending these weapons to your brain. so they might see some possibilities here on the front line with this insights again, rush of going on, but also security wise, they have of course, their concerns. also here, internally, there was always this concern from the start of the invasion of ukraine, that there might be this nucleus rep of these concerns might be back here as well. and also the eastern european countries are very much watching the situation. the less weight in president has spoken to the polish president, and they have agreed to watch the eastern flags or fields of to you to is some bought us even more than they were doing at the start of the war and ukraine. so there's a lot of concern level people watching the situation like for you as close to border for everyone escaping running away from russian because that's of course and not a concern of people crossing the borders into the you and

a thank you so much that us as to of us and for us in some of the town. oh, okay, well let's go now to mike hannah, who is in washington, dc, and the secretary of the site has been cooling around world latest as well, trying to figure out exactly what is going on here. yes, effect the secretary of state test the telephone door of his g 7 con to pots of foreign ministers of the countries like france, the u. k. germany and president biden has also been on the phone in the course of the day. he spoke to john smith, schultz, of germany, president of account of bronze and prime ministers to knock off the united kingdom . so there's been a mess of wave of diplomatic activity here in washington dc. the president also held a briefing that was a truly crowded briefing. let me just tell you who was present at that. uh, the national security advisor, jake sullivan, the secretary of state, the secretary of defense, the head of the joints, chief of staff, the director of national intelligence, the head of the c,

i a and to the best of the, to the united nation. so a pretty crowd the waiting room, but just the sign of exactly how urgently the us is viewing and monitoring what is happening in russia and on its board is the chair of the joint chiefs of stock mach, billy, has cancelled a federal trip to the middle east he will be staying here for the duration of this price is. so to us the national security advisor take sullivan was due to travel to copenhagen to meet with members of the free countries who are aligned to the training in conflict. he will attend that conference now virtually. so it is just an indication of exactly how seriously the situation is being viewed. president bided himself, is on his way to camp david, but he will continue, obviously, to monitor the situation from the so the us gathering all its diplomatic forces, trying to stay across what is happening, reaching out as allies to co ordinate the response. but this reflecting the

absolute yeah, that the us has of a, the stabilize russia and the global impacts that such an event would create. ok, thank you so much. that is mike hannah for us and washington d. c. got some breaking news now that is just coming in the better as president's office is russian miss and relate to promotion has agreed to stop the movement of wagner sizes around russia. he says, progression has agreed to de escalate. the situation of billers says and agreements that would guarantee the safety of logan to find his is now on the table and the others as is it's laid out location, co acting in agreement with president person, spoke to wagner, chief precaution to try and i guess the escalate this situation where we're going to go to daniel hawkins who is in moscow now and then you,

can you tell us more about these latest developments as well as, as you say is breaking news that's coming just to over the last couple of minutes. uh, we understand the president foods in the health folks where he's better off and counts about president like i said, cause what is believe is over several other seal. yes. states. it's clear that in one of those conversations uh there was an agreement made, but president of cushion could, would act as a sort of mediator to try to de escalate this situation, which has relatively spun out of control. and the news coming out of the president's a better was at press service is that a deal has been agreed for the movements of these columns involved in a flight has to be stopped from the real stuff to moscow for them effectively to go back to that positions go back to the basis in return for security and safety guarantees. now these will offers that were made earlier in the day by various russian officials to the vault. msc rejected those office hours ago saying that

this was not an option. he would not laid down his weapons and would not listen to orders from the russian id. oh, the russian president. this marks a definite change in mood from precaution. and what's the president like a single set in regard as a success? having stepped into a mediation role where communication and clearly completely broken down between the blog, the p. m. c. lead to the russian id and the criminal. so certainly this will be major news given be 5 to minutes going on today. the sounds of gunfire and explosions reported in real stuff as we, as we had earlier, a news coming in, but multiple russian, all me helicopters had been shot down. this was a situation that was forwarding a very, very quickly out of control. so this is very big news, it is worth mentioning though, but pre gordon himself and his press service hasn't yet confirmed this has been the comment on his telegram channel,

where he's been posting these voice messages and these at text messages for the last 24 hours with the regular intervals, there's been no confirmation or as of yet, so it's too early to say whether these forces will stand down, whether the base for potential blood shed then brought to that has happened already will be stopped. but certainly this is news. that's a lot of the russian population and most of what certainly will be reading a sort relief to the best means. but some folks, some negotiations have gone on and there is hope for the escalation and for both sides here to stand out and come to some sort of compromise. it. can you do? we know more about location, close relationship with progressions, because obviously there is trust there. if this is to be believed as well, it's was noticing that like a sun co uh on boat and precaution, a boat close between allies. look, a certain co has been the leader of batteries. uh,

pretty much all most since the republics independence lock was precaution and that has been a close associate the vitamin fruits. and since the 1990s in st. petersburg, why he got the nickname, opposing chef foods, in this case for having provided catering services for the kremlin. and so both of these figures, both of these officials have close ties to let them have put in that is essentially the link between the 2 of the look of single ahead of the cold on for goals and to stand down to come to his senses. how close the postal relationship is, it's hard to say, but certainly a big deal. and these folks would require that amount of trust that promotion simply didn't have with the russian felt bross and was russian generals, as i say, progression rejected these calls earlier from russian generals the spend down in return for safety guarantees. it's likely that lucas shaking co would've had to negotiate clearly a very high level of trust corporate goals and to accept this offer. because i have

a list already a saying this puts precaution in a position of risk in a position of weakness. and he has clearly have the advantage of the tests. it goes volunteers the surprise in his movements uh, from real stuff to most code, he's cools out. the russian forces, with these photos of russian soldiers, apparently laying down their arms and surrendering it's, it's able to, that's uh for him to lose this momentum and agree to these terms. some very serious negotiations would have had to go on behind closed doors and will obviously update you as we get more on that tend to be get comment from production of whether he had actually agreed to these terms. you would definitely looking, looking towards his telegram channel to see when any update comes out. i mean, where does this leave the button to find? is that a a, the effectively stranded along that him for the highway towards most go now as

well? well reports coming out earlier um that, uh allegedly, uh, some all, but most of the wagner part is perhaps didn't even know what they were getting for these unconfirmed reports. obviously from, from bull correspondence on list instead of running channels. but we're on the stand one day we was, they were told they were gathering effectively on a motorcade to mosque, or there was no information given to them that they wouldn't be taking over ministry headquarters shooting down helicopters, facing up for the russian national guard on the way to central moscow, perhaps many of them didn't know about what happened. so suddenly this leaves them in a difficult position. we have to remember many of these wagner fights is a form of prisoners, formal convicts that will receive all had received part in this for the service in the don't pass. these will people, these will 5 is that the russian public regarded as some of russians best fighting force and adult by state playing some of the rushes biggest victories in the past where the russian army failed to do so. so suddenly this leads them in

a very difficult position. if these negotiations are indeed to be a successful to be believed to be successful and they do receive safety guarantees . we're effectively with ton here and russia to us status quote. precaution has made his points and made it extremely clear aloud. the rational authorities could also claim that they voted a civil war exhaust uh where this leave the bugs and foxes always do remains. to in question regarding said earlier, a weeks ago that they would withdrawal from the front line withdrawal from buffalo to handle the control to the russian army. and perhaps return to the front line sometime in july or august. so it remains to be seen exactly what the role of vall gonna is going to be if they will come on to the come on to the russian. i'm a d as a defense minister. so go and see from stock or us. and we'll have tried to do, or whether they will remain the best separate entity and what exactly the relationship will be of cost with production because his faith very much remains in

the loves. he's got charges against them by the f as b by the national tire committee. all very serious gravity soldiers of all means any of that cause the jail symptoms here, a russian. oh, between 12 and 20 years. so what will happen to per go him is perhaps even bigger question here about how is the relationship will develop with the come in with it'll be a boots and a lot will rest on that. when we talk about the fates and the future fights, all of these uh, thousands of on the slices and date will be fascinating to see how this all plays out. thank you so much for taking us through that breaking news. that is daniel who comes for us in most sky. we're going to go to e kathrina culture guts is who is a permanent russian georgian journalist who was news to bring to an anchor at tv. ryan, one to fresh as last independent tv stations. she joins me now live from lots for you. thank you very much for joining us on al jazeera. i guess. first of all, what is your reaction to the slightest news that the battle races announced that

the progression has agreed to de escalate the situation as well? um, did you do? i'm used to be very skeptical about any statements being made by the post office or the cassandra himself because usually they might not. i mean, this is something that happens on a daily basis. so there shouldn't be some reason why it's on the same car is making statements like that. maybe you want us to be involved in this negotiations. maybe he needs to be in quarters of me for let me maybe there are different issues for a little concerned or maybe different reasons. but the fact is that until we see the 2nd man, i would not find any words this person's task yet. and we would like to just reiterate that we are only hearing this from the a better as president's office at this point in time. i also want to get your

reaction to, you know, the last 24 hours, which i guess have been rather remarkable. within russia, i mean, i did put in to have this coming to think and of course not. i mean, this is next to a new situation. this is something that no one was expecting you because of it. as your colleague has mentioned, just a couple of minutes ago is put this close associates. he's a actually he used to be able to stop it. he used to be a case you're a person who is serving me and i see that he has a long i certainly agree or i would say he was, i had all this told factory so called soul met mentally instructional. that's, you know, relations trying to measure the american election so now, so you're getting elections and, and then became the founder of the private company operating in africa to be

very dirty business there. and now this is the guy who is declared by the phrase. so let me put some kind of statement earlier today, excusing him in feeling, which is really very important. i could not imagine something that would happen in the middle of the terrible war in ukraine. he's getting a problem from a guy who used to be she is personal service. so i, i not expect something like that. no one could expect somebody or that we were of course, the color is being covered. conflict between boston and i mean it's just the place of russian fundraising. and we're the last thing you know, between a non jealous, it was kind of a joke, but every single day there is uh, as it stands to a statement coming from pre gordon. and we were thinking that there was, it was something like a space mistake concept maybe. or it was just a,

i don't know something, something like an added up. and maybe it was either not important to not to pay attention, right? this person. but what we can see how, how, how crazy decides, and i, you know, i cannot believe in the z a, with the cycle because i do not see any profit for, for those. i mean, if you just, if you just say, hey, i'm out of this. and once he gets from this, because she has already done so many crazy things here, already declaring actually a cool id by some space during the war, which is very important for alignment to be personally. so i think that she doesn't have a good way out of this. so this is, this is an extraordinary, i cannot even understand what the situation lead us to and what will be the end of this. uh oh, pretty crazy situation. yeah, it really is that we really appreciate your time and your inside that is the

catalina culture counts a permanent trust in georgia into unless thank you so much. ok, we're going to go to state boston who has.
