where we just, that's online thing and i guess the stuff from out is there is a mobile app available in your favorite types to just set for it and type domain new app from out to 0 new at using. is it the, [000:00:00;00] the hello until mccrae. this has been use our line from coming up in the next 16 minutes. the wagner group leader says he has ordered his troops to homestead much on moscow to avoid shooting russian blogs. billy at the head of the missing recruit and found 2 of the troy rushes military leadership and his forces came on to rush

and fire. on the wide capital licensed developments come up to present, letting me a push invalid to crush the most serious challenge to his 22 year room and k. then it's wasted allies. a closely watching the rebellion in russia as they assess what it could mean for the, for a new crime. the beginning, this is how in russia, with the head of the wagner masonry group says he's ordered his fines is to stop the match on most guy. but it's here was progression said on his telegram channel just moments ago we were usually we began on march for justice on june 23rd of the last 24 hours. we came to 100 columbus a show of months ago. during this time, we did not shed a single drop of off lots of lots for we. we have reached a moment when blood can be spilt. we realizing the full responsibility for the risk,

the plot could be spilt on either side. so we have tony chromeboys around and heading back to our steel comes most according supply and we have got you have any promotions? find his head been advancing on the capital along the m 4 highway logged headed early as sees control of real stuff on done, which is the southern command center of russia's war and you trying regional media is reporting that progressions decisions came off to an intervention by bell of russian presidents, alexander, look a shame co. daniel hawkins is live for us in moscow. sit boston is live in chimney with more than the bell of russian media should retreat. and washington is of course, also closely watching the movements in russian montana is live for us from the intel stratford. as near the ukrainian town of buck moved with a view from the front lines. but 1st, we're going to go to daniel hawkins, who as i mentioned as in most go and these very dramatic developments over the last 10 or 15 minutes. so. so i want that, daniel,

i absolutely, and it's been a dramatic care 24 hours to say the very least. many russians of a sudden, generation over the age of 14 will remember the 1993 crude atara temple, which took place just behind a studio alongside the central moscow avenue in the white house. of course this uh to attempt to which is what it's been classified as by the crime and by the security services never reached those levels never the less. this was something that will change the bottoms the pallets of politics in russia for the foreseeable future. we have confirmation from the beginning propulsion and his press service that he has agreed to turn around his columns turnaround as men and returned them to the initial points of dislocation to the bases. presumably in the, in the southern russia about sort of an announcement by the but a russian president's press service, which said that he negotiated

a compromise between the prominent and the vulgar p. m. c. chief, full them to stand down and return to base. now, what will be very interesting to hear next from the criminal, which has yet to comment. interestingly, on these developments is what exactly stands behind, disagreement is going to precaution. and of course, we all just speculating at this point, but you're going to precaution would have to receive something in order to stand down. he would he projected offers to stand down in return for safety guarantees from russian officials. throughout the day he was absolutely adamant that he would take his lots of justice as see, describe it all the way to moscow, like the criminal. so for him to turn around having this momentum and having really gone without any resistance, without effectively shots on the ground being fired, he claims, at least without a drop of blood being spilled to moscow's outskirts, he would have had to receive an offer. you couldn't refuse and will correspondence in russia on telegram titles are speculating already,

but this crude means some sort of compromise is on a change in the russian military. holly come on, though again, this is just speculation confirmed at this point in route ton, that allegedly fully it's getting precaution, scaling down one and down his activities in russia and focusing instead on interest in other countries. now this, as i say, how to emphasize is just speculation at this point. so we're going to have to wait for a official statement from the criminal on what exactly has going on. um, but a lot of russians will breathing a big sigh of relief today. off the 24 hours of uncertainty, the tension in moscow has been the very palpable, perhaps most palpable savings of february a year and a half ago when this conflict began. and that certainly with all would vehicles and personnel carriers come across trucks on the streets of moscow. money will be, as i say, bleeding a sort of relief that some sort of negotiations behind closed doors have resulted

in miss b escalation before went further and totally out of control. daniel, has there been any reaction from the kremlin to this? and i mean, obviously person still has many issues to deal with, regardless of if the wagner troops pull back to absolutely well. but this statement has come literally in the last 1015 minutes. so we all still waiting for the official statement from the russian minister of defense with whom for goes and of course has this conflict. that's how this conflict for years now from so they showed the defense when it's the old chief of stall garage symbols. that's been the coolant as of yet from living to pest golf, the presidential spokesman, the no doubt but will come in the coming hours. of course this does leave both for goes in and pose in a, in one sentence having both claimed some sort of winning from this found love, but also in

a very precarious position for goals and allegedly has received safety guarantees. but he does remain a wanted man rushes most wants it in the facts, charged with rebellion, a very serious offense, that code carry a sentence of up to 2 decades in prison. and of course, this little slips puts in a potentially, with a damaged image. and the ease with which these vulgar forces swept through southern russia. sweeping through these ro brooks. these images of russian soldiers surrendering, laying down their arms apparently to the vulgar flight, as would have surprised many russians on the ease with which these voices approached outskirts of moscow. the halt, a rush of the sea depression power will certainly have many people wondering how exactly this was allowed to happen and how this could have escalated within less than 24 hours from precaution as usual outbursts and critiques of the russian defense ministry to accrue attempts which hasn't been seen in russia as

a site since 1993. so it will be interesting to see how the kremlin plays us out, how the criminal betrays this and what these agreements reached will entail. thank you so much. we'll definitely be keeping a close eye on anything that comes out of the kremlin. thanks so much. that's daniel hawkins law for us and most going well for the european perspective, we're going to go to state boston who is live in germany's so i'm a big town. obviously, alexander, look a shank or played a major role in this didn't t of the well, according to him he play the major role in this. we have to wait and see exactly what has happened because interestingly, play goshen and his last statement didn't mention lucas, frank, us name at all. and also nobody in the kremlin has mentioned lucas frank was name. he has sab lucas and kind of, he has been negotiating the whole day with pre goes in, and he has reached this deal. it's also interesting to note that there hasn't been

any significant relationship between the butler russian leader and pre goes in. as we know of the, or between the, the, with the walk, no group. it is also interesting to see if that is all true and look a shock, a did all this that he has basically sort of backed up with an a. it's a basically a way of returning a phase. or you can see, i can say, because when lucas angle was under a lot of internal pressure, when there was an uprising just a couple of years ago, a president bluetooth came to his rescue. soto basically really connective to each other. their fates are very much connected to each other, but we also know that they have a very complicated relationship that puts in has also been complaining about location, cost, erratic behavior, so to speak. it is very difficult for him to trust him, and he's also been playing different sides over the years. but if this is all true, of course, a new contract that has made some real

a success here. and of course i put in won't easy. forget that. no, i'm sure that a state of us and uh for us in so in a big town in germany. well its uh go to montana in washington, dc. and how is this the escalation being viewed? there the well just be not a reaction to this at this particular point. obviously, all the parties that be monitoring closely, but as he has not spoken publicly on the latest developments, president biden has been on the call to on the phone to a number of leaders in the course of the day. he spoke to julian trunks of the shots as well as the british prime minister, and the french president, the secretary of state is also being beating the phone. cooling is d 7 come to pots, head of foreign ministers, the full of them discussing the situation, and how to present a problem common front in terms of dealing with it. president biden also held a major briefing in the course of the day. this a very crowded briefing with the head of the c,

i a present the chairman of the joint chiefs of stop the national security advisor . basically all the see the need is within the fight and administration and cabinets. a couple of visits with his phone. trips with this phone has a chairman of the joint chiefs to stop postpone the visits. he was due to go to the middle east as to the national security advisor. he was due to go to copenhagen, but all these moves just emphasizing how seriously the biden administration use the situation to be concerned. we understand about any possible disintegration within russia and any instability that which would radiate to out of cost fractions for doesn't have a global impact. so no doubt they off, early sighs of relief, perhaps at the fact that the ed bonds on russia has now reportedly been stopped. okay, thank you so much, that is montana for us in washington dc. let's take

a closer look at the wagner group and demand behind it all dimitry and visiting co reports. a real good product. you have any precautions rose to power and russia from humble beginnings and st. petersburg after being jailed for 9 years for robbery and fraud. he became a hot dog salesman, and then the man known as putin's chef is catering company hosted events for foreign leaders as well as president vladimir putin, his private birthday parties of the day. it wasn't until 2022, the precaution admitted that he had found at the wagon a private military company 8 years earlier in eastern ukraine. he previously denied all connections to the most scenary group and suit any one linking him to work that the most marys are illegal in russia, but precautions close links to putin and russia's elite allowed him to bypass the legislation and gave plausible deniability of any involvement in operations of a seats, as well as ukraine, the wagner group has been links to military operations in syria since 2015 and

aiden governments, combat reval groups, and the central african republic. libya molly and so don precaution is also linked with existing military and political influence. and chad, mozambique and zimbabwe has been so successful as a private military company that has become essentially a franchise. and so you have different, really, very distinct organizations that carry the same brand. it was an important force in russia's invasion of ukraine, including the assaults on some of the n commute. precautions commanded up to 50000 troops and ukraine, mostly recruited from russian prisons and exchange for pub underlined. his most never use victories while playing down the role of the russian army to obviously putting has created precaution regardless of a self made man. he spoke most projects to create a sort of

a competitive alternative military for assuming usher to boost the effectiveness of the regular russian army for go through this later to end and to open criticism. golden didn't means this was in attacking defense minister said h, i go and chief of stuff about it and get us involved for under supplying his troops . well, not so you can watch go by pre pop up. we have a 70 percent shortage of admission showing. go garage him up, your ask your mom munition. look at the new movie that went back load was seized in may 2023, often more than 6 months of fighting to the big ocean. and his men took a passive roll and the kremlin began to reign in wide, demanding the group register and report directly to the army. the golden refused, and his confrontation with russia's military leadership reached the pointing point

on june 23rd. when he was accused of the mutiny entry cents reaching that but didn't go out as a right over to hilton is a level of security expert and a defense fellow at gloves sick. he joins us from bill and thank you very much for being on al jazeera, i guess, visible with so many developments in the last half hour or so little in the last 24 hours. can you just give us you will take on, on what you think of this, the escalation that is supposedly paying the great between location car and percussion. oh, well, good evening and thank you for asking me. obviously the news is breaking very fluid and it's very hard to keep up with everything. but essentially, since the news broke, that president lucas shank beller rouge has as organized as peace. judy, i see 2 things. i see one saying that this was a calculated retreat on the side of the precaution. i think everything was going very successful in their own style and on. and then finally, i think got closer to moscow. i think he realized that he didn't have the assets needed there to sort of take this the whole way. there was no major defections.

nobody came out and endorse him. and i think also that he didn't necessarily have the support of the troops. i think at the same time using the current process of shaping the negotiations. nobody knows what the conditions are. dw dealer going to be. he's holding a huge amount of assets. physically, not just stuck on talking about the influence of the troops. and i think also he has, you know, he's not going to go into the night silently. so i think it's just one of the 1st to meetings. and i think he has, when you know an insurance policy or something up his lead to make sure that he gets what he wants. what happens to him now? i mean, can you continue as they hit a fog to, you know, working alongside the russian military. so i think the 1st thing to look at is like, since it's all started the way that's going to be put in was completely routine survival mode. so i think at the moment who has created a little bit of space for and so obviously he is persona non grata. he's one of you know, i don't know 29 in rush or right now. but like i said, i think he, there is a way for him whether it's this is being uh, some sort of like, uh,

some sort of an asylum somewhere else to just function. but it seems that his days of value working to each so efficiently on the battlefield, if you pray with him as the leader, it is just not possible. and the last thing is, honestly um, this is still to be determined if this is good news or not for good reason. i'm up and showing you, given that to now has, is sort of had to endorse this meeting with him, which puts them at risk in this matter oligarch and klan were going on with the issue of, of the key in russia. and can you see the wagner trips returning to the front line and you crying and fighting alongside russian military? i mean, if the one thing with this war has proven is anything is possible, but i think at the moment the private, the policy priorities of everyone, whether it's the russian, m, o, d, for you, or diner itself, is sort of a domestic policy. as you know, then you just been breaking so quickly and russia has already pulled and military has already pulled military assets up to nothing impossible. but i choose that. this is going to be a very tough self or value are given that ukraine is probably going to keep their foot on the gas right now. i'm trying to push with

a much larger combined arms operation. and is this the perfect opportunity to ukrainian forces in its wisdom l as have been looking for the really hit home and taking advantage with the account of offensive? i mean, it's just unbelievable the way things are going through. and i can imagine that generally, usually who's a chief of staff who's just on a phenomenal job over the last 13 or 40, or a little bit longer than that coordinator. and everything, he just se, show many different options. but you turn this according to low morale, in terms of russia and also the goose of this is given you creating soldiers that look we can really make a big debt and taking our territory dock and liberating it. so very certain different is how this happened. but absolutely, and if there's one message i'd like to say, i think western policy makers should not hesitate throughout this entire world. they can be done a great job of supplying arms and finance. but it's always been a little bit too late. but it is really the moment where they can change the course of the war and actually help you kind of rate is occupied territories change typically in crime. yeah. can you talk us through exactly how you think that they

should do that? i think there's a lot of the various options. i mean the, when it comes to the west support a new credit, it's not just the military and financial support that they need to provide. you should also be making this a message that you know, anybody from russia, you should, the fact that you can come over and then the actual support how rush it is now is the time whether it's covertly or not to be providing much longer range or to the review items, which is already in service right now with the rigor storm with the storm and excuse me, the storm. i think it's a long range from britain. there's other opportunities, whether it's cyber warfare. uh or providing like very detailed i sr intelligence surveillance and reconnaissance packages to hit specific targets. so there's a variety of options with the escal tory issue that the west could provide for you cream. okay, fantastic. thank you. that is a roach of hilton ag level security expert from bill and thank you so much i okay, well let's get to the view from the front lines about these dramatic developments

tells threats that joins us on the road to back move and east, and you find in, i don't know if you could see it out, i guess the, the child's. but he was basically saying that it would be very difficult to see. wagner forces for tons of the front lines and fighting alongside the russian army. what sort of, what sort of advantage would that give the ukranian troops that had been mounting the counter offensive as one can only presume it would, uh, it would benefit the ukrainian troops potentially quite considerably. we know how effective wagner was in taking full control of the bus move, which is your size of the road behind me. and we know, certainly reported the majority of the wagner policies actually withdrew from that town in the last couple of weeks and handed over to russian forces. we know that there has been heavy fighting in and around that town ever since,

especially today. one thing i can say though, we certainly speaking to ukrainian policies, ukrainian soldiers in this area today. they were huge, encouraged by what they describe as chaos inside russia. by this rebellion on folding. they said that they were going to basically seized the opportunity to hit bottom. moved hard. we've heard a lot of shilling, certainly in the last, in the last few hours, we've seen a lot of ministry activity as well. we call and 100 percent. verify whether that is directly connected to these guys is happening inside russia. we've seen infantry had a cops is operating olsa. so suddenly one can presume that evolved it will just start fighting with russian fullest and it would give ukrainians a better charles. all of the pushing quicker and further in, in this counter offensive the country offense is still very much in its early stage is but certainly ministry analysts and even the ukrainian government. um,

i've said that it's not moving as fast as that expects it. yeah. can you just tell us a little bit more about how this counter offensive and the what implications along the frontline, at this point in time? yeah, we've visited a couple of places along the 1000 columbus of front line. over the last few days yesterday we were in a village of ukrainians last week said that they had fully recaptured from russian policies. that certainly didn't seem to be the case when we were the we was speaking to ukrainian soldiers who said that there was ongoing fighting on the outskirts of the village and around the tree lines. there was a lot of heavy shilling. ukrainians was saying that the russians were using a lot more app. how would defending that village on the outskirts of it? very well indeed, we also moved to another area on the front line around 200 kilometers. no close to the russian. occupied town of camino ukrainian full, she's done getting in train. she's very close to that town. this is an area that

ukrainians to take them back control over in the counter offensive last summer. south of car keep that was very successful. and pretty much over the last year that has been very little movement vertical advances from either side. but that is, it will change or is beginning to change according to these very nervous, russian, sorry, ukrainian troops in these trenches who said that the russian forces had since the beginning of the counter offensive really up the and see really escalate to the shooting that we're using heavy power as well, 5 to jets and helicopters. and they were basically getting a small units of russian full seats that were encroaching or trying to was sold the positions along that line. so that is different. so one kind of already provide you that, you know, any kind of chaos, any kind of rebellion that we're seeing unfolding and russia despite seemingly this agreement with this negotiations that seems to be happening between precaution and the kremlin ukrainians are going to be right on it and watch on it fost in order to try and push

a lot faster than they already all improving these deep defensive russian lines. okay, thank you so much for that. up that, that is chao stress. it for us in eastern you crime as well. presidents for each of type at once as tequila, is ready to help resolve the situation in russia. he spoke to president, person by phone and urged him to act with common sense. send him, consider reports from a sample during your phone conversation between purchased prison purchased. so far gone on his washing counterparts on corrupt pledge support to of a lot of them are put in uh the statements uh, delivered by the surface presence, a sub that add on ice express is support. sense a have that he's ready to give any help for a peaceful solution to this conflict. this message was different compared to other regional partners to russia. as many of them stated that this was a domestic issue by prisons are gone,

showed his full support to his freshman counterparts. who did the same thing during the sales ministry to attend it in july, 2016 was the 1st the cold prisons are gone and fledged has changed before the military course. i'm not failed, but close to thousands of flies into care. that's why this has been considered as there is a very important set as cherokee and russia corporate on many fields, many regional complex. this 5, they do not see everything. twice. the numbers sold elvis 0 to stumble, was still a head on al jazeera from allies to enemies. we will continue to have more on fog news um, to music in what it means for the kremlin, the

high low. they will see things he top across the north of africa this week. i think the so looking very hard to cause much of the middle east and the event will, scott here is, temperatures are sitting into the high forty's for places like a q weight. doe has seen 45 degrees as celsius that time, which is a set to come down slightly across the gulf, but it is still a very hot picture this week. on top of that, we're seeing some unsettled weather thanks to a shamal wind kicking up some duct that is expected to die down. however, often monday, launched the dry across much of the region pleasant the conditions to be found for the event and just a few showers here in that for to keep things have tons of much better after a very wet spring now isn't move to the north of africa, lots of heat coming in. some morocco this we watch the temperature in rebecca will pick up to 42 degrees celsius on monday. so well above normal temperatures for this time if you have that heat continuing through the week, lots of hot and dry weather up and then move much west along that central band of africa, particularly for liberia on mondays,

some very heavy pools of rain here. i'm more rain to come for the likes of nigeria, we saw flooding in a butcher because of that heavy rain. we could see more as we go into the new week and that rain continues on the wherever. there are people. there are stories, stories that must be shared. it's my biggest responsibility to speak to my people. they have coming from a place where i believe they have more to learn to do better. that need to be part of this change award winning filmmakers from around the world, presenting tales of true life, the witness on just the the account zone. how does the gun do you subscribe

symbol? you said what the discount. so it's a full, the 50 percent one percent. every day. you've already made plans for making plans to subscribe today. he's probably the code summit 2023 of the way as a recap of the latest developments of russia and the head of the valley. the messen regroup says he's ordered his troops to turn back to avoid bloodshed if guinea progression suffices headed violence within 200 kilometers toward small scar progression,

says military convoys will now be spinning around the spices. returning to the fields cans. wagner had fairly seized control of real self on tone, which is the southern command center of russia's new new crime. while it's here was a progression said on his telegram channel a short time ago. we were usually, we began on march for justice on june 23rd of the last 24 hours. we came to 100 columbus a show of most go during this time we did not shed a single drop of off spots as blood. typically, we have reached the moment when blood can be spilled. we realizing the full responsibilities for the risk that plot could be spilt on either side. so we are turning our colors around and heading back to our field comes most according supplying the diplomatic. it is a james by his joins us live now from the you in into what is being the international reactions to events of the past, our side,

a no formal international reaction. but i can tell you, i've been speaking what's happening with diplomats and i think the, the, the messages which are off the record to me is summed up actually by tweets have just seen moments ago from the former swedish prime minister informed the swedish foreign minister call bill to the very shrewd observer of diplomacy, he says, and a 1st round, next round in the drama is coming. people i'm speaking to do not think this is necessarily over as a question whether putting really can reintegrate a renegade force that has been prepared to engage in a mutiny against his government, unmatched. so close and got so close to the russian capital. what he is clear is that every single figure in this and everybody in this on the russian side is damaged right now as things stand. if you look at poor 10,

well this is certainly damaging to peyton. he has had an aura of control and power and visibility all his time and office that is damaged. he won't get that back any time soon for goshen. well i think there's real damage to him because he caved in. he didn't, he didn't go on with his offensive. that will be seen as a week. you look at the russian military. well, there was already talk of negotiations to replace the russian military leadership, the defense minister, and the head of the general stuff that will add, i think, to further demoralization and just look out for all the walls and the full. got it real stuff on dawn, which was the operational come on of the of the crating and more efforts and a city of over a 1000000 people and they continue all the way up that and for low to way getting pretty close to most go the russian military is had a pretty bad reputation, never since this will stop it. they was seen as one of the most powerful monitors

in the, the old, before the start of the crime was a special minute dream mission is food and cold. it was supposed to last a few days. here we are, 16 months later they are not making progress in fact, on the battlefield, losing ground, although not, not the ukrainians on the bouncing very greatly. but the russian military takes a further blow. and then you look at the fog in a group. well, already since percussion has done this in the last hour telegram channels, the saying that there are wagner of operatives who say that very unhappy. so you've lost the unity of the vulgar group as well. and then i think the last thing on the russian side has been lost is, is, is the more all of the war effort in ukraine? yes. may be vulgar. troops will go back to fight in ukraine, but it's got to be very hard to reintegrate them with the russian military. often what has happened is gonna cost so much destruction of potentially this gives, i think,

a real advantage in the coming hours and coming days for the crate inside. and of course we did this all lazy, letting me a post. and i mean, what, what have diplomats been telling you about his chances of, i guess, just getting through all of this as well. i think he's in some serious trouble. remember, vladimir putin has been around for as many years as we've had so far this century. in fact, he took office or is he else and handed the presidency to him on the last day of 1999? and i think he's that he's very, very weakest point that we've seen at any time in his rule of life. that's why i think there might be some speculation, but he'll be on happy to leave things as things stand now and not in some way punish progression. for once he's done, certainly the deal at the moment seems that he knows that he's going to give immunity to precaution. that i think makes this the peyton more valuable than he's ever being at any time during his rule as, as

a se. diplomats watching this very closely and they think given the amazing development as we've seen in the last 24 hours and particularly in the last hour of things on heavy yet. okay. thank you so much. that is jim spies for us at the you in. thank you. loud correspondent nicholas hawk joins us now from duck. how he's just returned from molly with wagner. forces had been deployed. nicholas, can you just explain how fucking this activity in africa is in line with the kremlin of the? well, i met with the head of vag during the central african republic in 2018. at that time he told me russia is back in africa. he didn't say wagner is starting his it's operation on the continent. but here, it's in line with the kremlin policy to see any there. he was alluding to this, this tajah of the soviet union and its influence on the continent. really tapping in this assault that you have in the kremlin and a few people,

but also amongst soldiers or military leaders here on the african continent. because many of them have been trained in the former soviet union. some of them keep speaks russian, and molly also and burkina faso in the central african republic. all these countries where we've seen wagner's operations expand over 1600 men. and the soldiers are fighters in multi 1400 men in the central african republic. and they have the support of the crime, and that the un security council, where there was a discussion over the renewal of the un peacekeeping force. and molly, we saw the russian and bounce, so they're really in line with wagner's perspective and the mountaineers. doherty's perspective over the mandate. essentially they're saying that the mandate of the piece, king, peace keeping forces obsolete. and this would pay the way for wagner to expand its

activities in multi. but it's worth noting that wagner's activity, in terms of the security aspect on the african continent has helped put in, grow with influence in africa. in the, on the 26th of july, we'll have the, the russia africans summit to where many african heads of states will go to russia . and they see russia as an alternative force superpower to china. and the us, tom and nicholas. what role does wagner is activity in africa have in the russia and ukraine crisis? so, what was the rushes rushed? isn't vision in africa is as linked to it's fair influence in ideology, wagner is very much a for profit organization. there's a big tip of the iceberg, which is the security front, where it provides fighters to governments in, in the regions that are dealing with arm groups, such as in multi where they're dealing with arm groups linked to al qaeda and i so, but there's also

a whole aspect of it where it deals with online information bottles with the west and there's also the whole mining aspect of it. so the choice of the countries in which back there is involved is no coincidence. molly is one of the biggest ex, border of gold in the country, and the central african republic is rich in timber and in mining. and so wagner, companies export that mines, that those, that, those minerals in that gold, in order to pay for a war that's happening away from the african confidence on the european battle for that, it helps pay for those fighters that are fighting in russia and ukraine. just to give you what number, there's one mind in the central african republic called in the see my mind at they've exported $2700000000.00 worth of mineral last year. at the tim for export that they've done from this central african republic is estimated to be worth

$1000000000.00. so all of that goes to fund a fighters or the fight in, in the, in europe. and, and so it seems that that put into, or the kremlin cannot go without factor, at least here in africa. it has an important role to play on the continent. tom, thank you so much shed. that is nicholas hard for us in deca. it's alyssa d cabin l is the deputy program director for your up in central asia ed crisis group. she joins us live now from london. and alissa. how surprised you? that's the wagner. the troops got within 200 kilometers of the russian capital. yes, well it's a situation that would have been unthinkable. i have even you know, yesterday, and there's been a lot of discussion about discontent. um, but this really shows up. it was really a different situation in the sense that uh, pre gordon had in the past been very critical of the military for us,

but held off from criticizing, putting directly. and in the last 24 hours, he criticized and even question the basis and where we just didn't see for the invasion of ukraine. and i'm just wondering what do you think of this so called the escalation, 5 know pulling out. do you think that it's actually going to hold, or do you think that is still going to be classes between wagner and the russian military? well, certainly this is not the end of the story. first of all, it's hard to see him walking way on damaged from the situation. it's really, even with the some kind of negotiated situation itself. the biggest shocks took his grip on power in over 2 decades. i don't know exactly what progression got out of that and so that will maybe emerge in coming days to have the sort of the

negotiated solution is one thing. but i certainly don't think that this betrayal that to call to the trail from a man who owns his career to put in and who is essentially his or dog in the past and turned on him, is going to be forgotten easily. i wouldn't want to be in because there was in shoes right now. and that obviously has implications for the war and creating for wagner, forces injuring and continuing on participation there. but also i think she knows originally it will be looking to this and, and seeing the weaknesses that it the situation as chris hasn't showed up in the last 24 hours. but, but also there was some conflict. it's hard to know what kind of resonance this is going to have with russian society at a time, particularly with people who might have been dissatisfied with the war and the direction that 2nd country. i just want to over to, into something that you mentioned the do you think that i'm talking to troops can

return to the front line in russia and fight alongside in your crime story and fight alongside russian troops. i mean, the scale of the conflict uh, you know, already between pre goes in and the military brass up to this point has been really difficult and complicated. um the their, their presence on the battlefield quit. they were critical and buy hose and then some other places. but the, you know, the a sense of the reason for this marsh of justice which goes and refused to call a crew. and it was a missile strike on wagner forces. so how we come to a situation in which they are now fighting alongside and all of those differences are swept under the carpet. i really don't see that. um, so de escalation is not there yet. so, you know, in the past putting has used are this kind of situation where he was the sorry

about the spread the tray and he allows people to sort of sites. but there was this son lynn. so this a feeling that he was still in charge of the situation and i think what this crisis is showing up is just the lack of control that he has of their precaution. um and that that is quite critical. okay, thank you so much for your time. and your inside that is alyssa d cabin l deputy program director at the crisis group. the thank you. the properties in sierra leone choosing a presidents and the 1st election since the end of the civil war. president julia, some of them deal is seeking a 2nd 5 year term is being challenged by long term rival. some are tomorrow the when it needs 55 percent of the vote to avoid a run off of people are also voting for in pays and counselors. high unemployment

and struggling economy versus main concerns. the u. n. c. mon rides chief has world violence and the occupied west bank, ritz risk spiraling out of control is ready forces, right, and civil palestinian. tell us to be in villages on thursday. hundreds of st. louis have also attacked tell us to need areas since boys riley's were killed on tuesday, with tens of thousands of people in israel out protesting against propose judicial changes. they say the legislation will threaten democracy and run tom reports pro just the site. there's about a 100000 people here in a kaplan sweat. now you can go to all set with when the protests began. some 25 weeks ago, when there were about 30000 people out on the streets. and the nature of the purchase has changed as well. 25 weeks ago, there was a lot of iron go on the streets. people were trying to build the highway,

the boxes with is really police. now the protest movement organizes like this is much more of a resistance movement. this is much more of a way of saying the government, but i cannot push the judicial chains. it go through without paying attention to the share amounts of people come out on the street and that's very powerful. now, although friends or minister benjamin netanyahu says options on the table, the protest movement has managed to slow down the pace of did as a result. but it hasn't stopped. everyone comes out. is there a hell of a well verses in molly? have overwhelmingly backs changes to the constitution in a referendum. the military leadership that sees power 3 years ago said, altering the constitution would open the way to civilian rule. but opponents say the changes give too much power to the president of grace's supreme court is

looking into how a boat filled with migrants capsized off the west coast a week ago. hundreds of asylum seekers, i believe, to have drowned. survivors say several things must have gone wrong. john surplus reports from all acosta and grace mohammed on the heart surgery is a builder. he says he paid libyan smugglers. $4000.00 to take him to italy, but he hopes to find work to feed his family. he was one of an estimated 750 people on the fishing. trula, he says, was fit to carry huff that number. he describes how the smugglers loaded people onto the boat is a remote morning. one of the 2 fishing boats varied people to the boat and batches of 20. i was among the last 10 and the boat was swing side to side. i asked a friend, is this boat safe? he didn't answer. everyone was afraid. everyone understood this was going to be a difficult journey and that when the boat was spotted 47 miles off, greece in the i own the and see,

this is what it looked like. all the house already believes it's think because it's engine failed for me while the ship was moving, it had some balance, but when it stopped, it started to lurch. some survivors believe that the greek coast guard vessel that was trying to help them inadvertently home to them. we spoke to one of these witnesses by mood shut. that'd be is not his real name by the bible. it covers the cost of god, tied it up to the parts. they talked about the population side to side as they towed it. and when they cut the legs just identity. chalabi said the coast guard tried to cover up the incidents of to the toilet, capsized all over the they started putting lots of out of the water and they will defeat to us. you can fly to read into us and want to talk. they said, you will know, talk about these events. both witnesses said they were perhaps a 100 women and children below decks. none survived. these 2 witnesses along with dozens of other survivors,

have been deposed by the greek coast code when they arrived on shore. and the testimonies are going to be included in a judicial inquiry. now in the way that the supreme court level to find out exactly what happened. greece has arrested 9 egyptian survivors as suspected human traffic goes, but shall not be told me. the real operators will well um libyan militiaman who stacked him under a 150 other egyptians into a truck and drove them through little loaded mountain passes to the departure point, a concealed cove west of the brook. and on the way he saw something of the scale of their operation be settled, there are 5 boats being prepaid a kilometer inland and preparing them for the forthcoming voyages. europe has declared the inhumanity of the smugglers, but it hasn't found an effective way to defeat the thriving business to jump so. plus, i'll just enter my la garza library in spacing in the us city of chicago. concerned

about a growing issue book bands, john henry and reports from chicago. the plot thickens, as librarians try to put more books on their shelves, a growing nationwide campaign seeks to remove that. this is an attempt to buy a small group of people to pull social progress back to a level at which they feel comfortable. and despite the fact that the majority of americans are all very proud to be in pro intellectual freedom and the right to read whatever they want. last year, 40 percent of been titles, had prominent characters of color, 21 percent focused on race library and say, book bands disproportionately silenced the voices of minority officers. the result, they say is a literary whitewash in which members of marginalized communities pour through the shelves and increasingly don't find themselves in this library and evanston.

illinois is fighting back with a display of books spend elsewhere among them. gay and lesbian history for kids and the text of the poem. amanda gorman, rad it president joe biden's in on your ration. and so we lift or gaze, it's not what stands between us. but what stands before us been books top the agenda at the american library associations annual meeting this weekend in chicago . every parent has the right to decide what the right books and what the right programs are for their family, but they don't have the right to determine that for another person's family if even a mix can. these books on raised are banned in several libraries to controversial challenges, say, in certain ways it's a compliment. but on the other hand, i write books for people to read. he says he's not surprised that his books have been targeted. if you want to conserve racism, then you're not going to want people to understand it, to be able to see it,

to be able to challenge it. and so it makes perfect sense that the very people were trying to conserve racism are banning the books about racism. some censorship average come with a sense of irony among the challenge titles that this banned books display fahrenheit for $51.00. a cautionary tale of this toby and future society in which all books or band, john henry and l g 0. chicago flooding in india is northern state of asylum has fullest. tens of thousands of people to shelter and relief comes at least one person has been killed. is heavy monitoring ryan's bass of the region. the ryan is full cost and flooding is affecting half a $1000000.00 people. the government has set up nearly $100.00 camps, as people are evacuated from low line areas to less of a drought and panama will main additional shipping costs, the condo going through the panama canal, what is the levels through the canal are at the lowest and 70 z is,

this is forcing ships to reduce their loads to ensure a smooth and safe passage that spike in world wide concerns. the spiking shipping process is forcing room material process to also increase. but it's one of the world's poor us countries, which is also home to the world's 2nd largest rainforest and critically important ecosystem. the changes on the way in democratic republic of congo as the search for oil and gas is about to begin. the governance is auctioning off blocks to energy companies will boost the economy. but forest community side, they haven't been consulted. and the 2nd of his reports from the d i. c, his out environment is attend that clock and they have everything and nothing. the reinforce of dlc the provide for the 10s of thousands of small communities who live the from the roof over their heads to food for the part about 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 travel up to 2 days on the river road. america, by the way, to the nearest village. that's correct. they're all on the road. this is the only some type precarious way to go. the policies kazitis. we eventually arrive pretty much the whole village come to here, our conversation with the chief. and he's the fire. we actually will not be so young you. my 1st reaction is that people would have to kill me and then killing people before this happens. every day life depends on the river. if anything happens to this with a likes destroy, we did all the fun. outside the village, all those things, the ancient soul of the river,

show me the way to the next day we had all to a neighbouring bull. it's up for auction here. we would not welcome his truck because the station and quite a lot of the money get out of here, we're going to just bear right to your produce out in the county that we try to explain, which is 10. can you to move on eventually able to make our intentions play? the message is clear on pick it, but i am not happy. it's the 1st time we've heard of it is i cannot be happy with the news that we'd have to give up out of village. we have links to our ancestors

that we cannot take successfully. the focus should be on community development, not oil is the government should bring support for agriculture. we need seeds so we can grow things. tomatoes for example, not just one or 2 crops. this, a lot of people are, are very well aware of the wealth potential of the country. but as they've seen with a huge mining prophets generated in the east of dc. nothing ever filters down to the pool. the visceral connection to the land and the total lack of faith and the government meets with these communities. at least all exploration is a known stance of the clock out to 0. so go democratic republic of congress on sunday, you can watch pub 3 of the series and that cloud travels to the recently discovered tropical paid lands. home to extraordinary by diversity and critical and regulating . i'll climb. expedite, now threatened by oil explorations. ok, let's return to our top story. the wagner, i'm using a in russia is

a recap of the very lysis developments. the head of the wagner missing re groups is he's ordered his troops return back to avoid bloodshed if guinea progressions find his head advanced within 200 kilometers towards moscow. percussion says military convoys will now be turning around with fund is returning to the fields camps. bob now had earlier to seize control of russellville, on which is the southern command center of russia's war in you cried out out. diplomatic, it is james, by his joins us once again lives from the you in and just reading through that list of developments over the last few hours. what's been the international reaction to all of this? well certainly i've been speaking and what's happening with diplomat, since i believe it's been an extraordinary 24 hours and particularly the events of the last 90 minutes. a pretty extraordinary i think there's some relief that

precautions forces. although they got close to moscow didn't get to moscow because that would have been, i think, an immense loss of life if they had, if they've been the battle around moscow. and of course, there's a danger for the international community. the russia has more nuclear weapons than any other country on us. slightly moved in the us, almost 6000 nuclear weapons. and so if that had been a situation where there was a battle over control of the russian government, i think that would have been a big worry for the international community. i think most people watching this now believe, but it's not necessarily. and they think that how can improve to allow situation where he just re integrates a force and a man who was in open rebellion against him just a few hours ago. so i think there are, there's a feeling that if it were you, if it was seen as a boot inverse, this progression battle neither side is one, both sides of damaged and puts in. although we'll state damage goose. this is the

biggest threats he's face to his rule since he took power at the very end of 1999. he has to do something about production long term. i think goals. so there are real consequences for what happens in the war in ukraine will want vol. gonna go back to join the russian forces inside ukraine. will they go back and join those forces? i think it's unlikely that they can is going to be the russian military wanting to cooperate with them very much. so i think that is a potential problem going forward. there's also the suggestions, walton might be moved out of ukraine and concentrated on other countries. that's, of course, is going to weaken the russians assets more efforts because the bulk the fight as was the strongest and most effective fight has it, is that the russians had. so i think the big problems i had for the russian federation, even off to these developers, it's a really remarkable 24 hours and no doubt more to come. thank you so much. that's james buys for us at the you in. well, that is all from

a ton. mccrae for this news hour. we're going to leave you with some live pictures from the central most sky. a dramatic 24 hours. we'll have moved from london in just a moment. the, [000:00:00;00] the year. there's been heavy artillery from the 1st minute of the expiring of the ceasefire. something has changed at this border crossing whether they are civilians

for spiders. none of that seems to matter here. now those that allow me to tell you and hcr is here and someone told us that they have never seen it this bad, many people say that even when they are about to prophecies neighboring tad, they are being talked that there was an incredibly tragic day seeing refugees streaming in as turned into a violent night. they seemed terrible things experienced unimaginable hardships to come this far. what happens now? how do states control information the controlling the narrative to dominating the media? how does the narrative improve public opinion and in norma, spite, it might not be the most important story about china of today. but that's what the big piece of attention to. how is citizen jim listened? we played in the story, the listening post,

i fixed the media. we don't cover the news, we cover the way the news is covered by deals, the french republic system proclaimed. but just what is more than friends? in a full pot theory, the big picture takes an in depth, not from the same size. episode 3 analogies here of the boss and getting provision orders. his flight has to stop there and long. so last go to avoid bloodshed off to seizing a southern city and unprecedented challenge to president solutions will secures, he had been wrapped up in the capital with people. do you not to use that cause and monday to cut and on what day?
