where president vladimir putin has said for the 1st time, the wagner mercenary group is fully backed by the russian state. he said it costs his nation a 1000000000 dollars last year, putting has been projecting a sense of unity after saturday's mutiny and retreat. the wagner fighters led by their chief, you've got any promotion in moscow with him, congratulated his forces and hailed their efforts to stop. what he called a quote, civil war, a to just of with different machines and i am, but i want everyone to know is why can a group was fully financed by the state? the defense ministration was the state budget fully financed. the group is from may 2022, to may 2023 wages and financial incentives to the wagner company costs the state, 8x6w2c6x2w roubles. despite wagner being state sponsor, the owner of concord, 3 provisions supplies to the army managed and hooper, 80000000000 roubles went to look. and so the group is already fully financed by the
6:03 pm
state, and he's managed to earn money as well. i hope that in the process, none of it was embezzled, or at least nobody's still too much, but we will investigate all of that. similarly few but meanwhile, the man at the center of it all, pre goshen, has landed in the bell ocean capital mints president alexander lucas shank, a broken video that allowed the wagner chief to end his rebellion. the forward challenge begins are coverage ladies video each. this was kremlin, say to of a formal time on its hands, reliable nature, gods in dress, uniform red carpets and minute treat bands. the intention reassurance, the picture being painted, the russian states strong as ever and to be assembled russian military, who would be no to velocity for their apparent impotence as you've got any precautions. voc, them this means advanced on must go with the weekends post and had nothing but praise. you defended the constitutional load lives and security and
6:04 pm
freedom of us citizens saved the motherland from all peoples and effectively stopped the civil war. you ought to, to clearly and harmoniously in a difficult situation. permanent in the audience was defense minister said a showing no sign of pretend firing him, which was one of the demands made by precaution during his important mutiny. despite mass and the re, groups being illegal under the russian constitution. russia's presidents, once everyone typically who controls who choose to put the machine and the input, i want everyone to know this. wagner group was fully financed by the state. i hope that in the process, none of it was embezzled, or at least nobody still too much. but we will investigate, told of this yet, these celtic past few days have shaken russia and led many inside the country and outside to question how much all sorts of letting you may pretend still wheels. the
6:05 pm
white house stated, informed moscow in real time, the need of the us. no nato had any role in the field uprising, but putin and federal russian president, alexander lucas shanker, who apparently broke the deal to de escalate to the crisis. still see the hands of the collective west. it book to see what's in the truck. the mobile loader should and not on the disk. but to today we can clearly see a new wave of nato enlargement. an unprecedented amassing of bombs by the lights as member states in the region. sure. including in places close to our borders. almost daily about accounts for pull the various types of publications by neighboring countries from dumping dead bodies to intentionally sending drones across the border into batteries. so lot of the man who rocked the russia on it so thorough, terry and foundations, the better russian government says, gift gainey per goshen. he's now in that a roost despite pretend courting him a trait to the f s. b has dropped the charges against him. precautions madison res
6:06 pm
. meanwhile, have been told a cam fights on and ukraine as long as they signed themselves over to the russian military retirements. how does there you'll be a shovel. oliver is in moscow for us. you'll yeah, a lot to discuss today. so vladimir putin essentially today saying that wagner was something it came to a branch of the russian military all along i'm not exactly, but he did say that's a wagner. that had always been a state funded organization. as you mentioned, pretty soon showed some interesting financial information on dissolving those funds during his meeting with representatives of beyond full so security and law enforcement. so says, hey, resisted the wagner during the rebellion and prevented according to peace and civil war in russia. according to him, the vulgar group had always been fully funded by the states, meaning that wagner always promoted russia's interest in africa's syria ukraine,
6:07 pm
and so on. a purchase that for his catering concord company that supplies food to the russian army progression received $1000000000.00 from the states in the course of one. yeah. and as for, for bog, no since may last year, russia has paid wagner more than the age of $6000000000.00 roubles, which is more than $1000000000.00. but i should actually say the sum is much higher . so please have promised to investigate all the spendings in cold, cold and vog now. so we just have to wait and see how that story is unfolding. do you have any information on whether involved in the fighters are either heading to battle ruth, or formerly joining the russian military as vladimir put and told him to there were definitely reports about old dots. it we had from the kremlin that some, zach and people would sign contracts with demo with the ministry of defense, others would go to ben lever is now on exams on the cushion coast coast confirms
6:08 pm
that he's getting progression. honda arrived in penn levers and obviously many say he would bring the most come but ready units with him. look, a sean coles has said that bella roost was ready to accommodate the dog in the bus . there is allowing them to stay in the country for some time at the expense of the vault and the soldiers themselves, of course, on hills. so agreed that such treat unit would be useful for the bell of russian army. so of course, president lucas chucker is a very outspoken, so we will so washing that story quite close. right. and also there's a hole in the logic somewhere because if he's accommodating the wagner fighters on their dime, but rash vladimir put in just said the russian state was paying for them. question mark there. okay. well, we're going to ask that to our guess. thank you very much, your, your shop a lot of the in moscow. let's take a closer look at how we got there before we get our guest though. um so in january proved inputs, chief of staff, valerie dropped him off in charge of ukraine operations. wagner is heavy of getting
6:09 pm
precautions says that he's not happy with that decision. a month later for goes and reports that he can not recruit prisoners and says that the army is not supplying him enough ammunition. he blames the military's top leaders. on june 10th most goes, defense ministry tells all volunteer fighters and ukraine to sign a formal contract with the russian army. wagner refuses to do so on friday for goes and said his troops were attacked by russian forces. this trigger is his so called march for justice and wagner take several cities and stopped abruptly for goes and makes a deal with bell roost on monday of let him or put them says, wagner has 3 options. signed a contract with the army, retire or head developers. our matthews is an expert on russia, an author of overreach, the inside story of putin in russia's war against him. crane. you are joining us from ro into the room today. oh, and thank you for being with us. as best you can make out, who does wagner answer to right now vladimir puts in or if get any promotion?
6:10 pm
that's an excellent question. um, i mean the proximate cause of his opinion was let's be very clear about what it was not. it was not a, an attempt to take over russia. precaution was put in a situation where he basically had to rebel or die. so it's a mutiny. it's amusing the because as you've just outlined, the kremlin tried to shut down wagner, and at least by precautions account tried to then kill the russian army, then tried to kill wagner. so in that sense, he regarding cult precisely what he wanted, which was to survive to leave the country on the part and for his men the, the, the, the question on the environment so much on survival. if i can just jump in, do you think he will survive? because vladimir plum, not somebody who's going to treat his enemies kindly as it goes and
6:11 pm
claims that she has the personal word of alexander lucas. think of the presence of the belarus who broke this said this deal, he has the personal word of a guarantee of, of the look of shanker. but of course, what we saw on monday was essentially letting me put and turning around and saying that the traits as will be punished, having on so on saturday, clearly agreed that it was going to that everyone else. so it's a really confusing situation. is he actually going to pausing? wagner? is he actually going to allow precautions and still walks the us? it's an extraordinary liability for the criminal records in the 4 months has been issuing foul mouth tirades. bits a criticism off of the way the kremlin has for the war, not of that to me,
6:12 pm
a piece in pennsylvania, but he's a one of the most trenchant, unpopular critics. it's amazing that he has been alive. i would not want to insure his line for this and it clearly he's a, he's, he's, he's, he's a rebel general has been allowed to cross back over the come for the moment. he appears to be in place of safety, guaranteed by me. i look at all you would not want to insure his life. that's an artful way of, of putting it. oh, and vladimir, put in today said that the russian state has actually been funding wagner to the tune of about a $1000000000.00. if i'm converting from roubles a $1000000000.00 over the $20.00 to 2020 to 2023 campaign. why? first of all, is there any reason not to believe that or do you believe that's true? and secondly, why is vladimir putting, putting, putting that out there now? and it's suddenly true, i think of it it's, it's never really been a secret the just the number that we haven't had before. and now we're hearing from boots and, and the specific number. it's always be in the case that puts in the criminal has
6:13 pm
been funding wagner right from the beginning of its operations, back in 2014. where wagner was found that as an arm's length and less than re company that was allowed the rest of the states and project power. not just in don't boston east and ukraine, but also in libya, of the central african republic, syria and so on. and it's never been a secret, but he is a the that's is credit been funded. what's the reason why i chose inputs and chose to emphasize that today was very clearly because he was to break that image of wagner as precautions. private. now, of course, present has ample reasons and now regret allowing us like a profit to form a private army of criminals. that did not go well. and now he's trying to as a search the criminal control over wagner. by saying, by the way, this is all done on a dime not, i'm pretty goes this time you,
6:14 pm
this is not for goes this on me. it's my on so a certain control over wagner, you have at least what is it 25000 on demand for very capable fighters. where do you see this going do? do you think that russia vladimir put in will be able to bring them into the fold or they just going to camp out in bel routes, which also brings huge question marks of it or yeah, i didn't really see what the upsides to alexander look i think would be to have that bottle an army of criminals with inside his boat as i mean what could possibly go wrong. a lot of things can go wrong. i mean, it's really a terrible liability. on the other hand, you know, it's on paper 25 thousands. wagner fights is, cannot take on the russian stage by the way, which has 4 and a half 1000000 people on the arms. if you include the police department, police descriptives, ford hoffman and beats $25000.00 easily. um, but the, the difficulty is one of loyalty. you know, what will the rest of the army and it will come to an order of the russian army to
6:15 pm
kill and crush the fight against wagner if they stopped another mutiny, that's not clear. so for pewter, and that makes a lot of sense just to shuffle them into neighboring belarus, and hope for the best hope for the best. or it sounds like a plan. one last question for you uh, the international implication of this admission by vladimir putin, that he's actually has been paying for wagner. because wagner is present, not just on the front lines in ukraine or has been, but also syria, molly, central african republic, and all these states they've been making a deal with what they say is a private entity. and what vladimir putin now knowledge is, is a russian state backed. what do we call it now? part of the army melisha, or it's a melissa, i mean there's 2 things can be simple changes the true. i think that there are ways and stances are countries where wagner act so essentially is a private military company. and in fact, as we know actually controls
6:16 pm
a lot of coal mines and um, oil wells. and so, and i mean they are, they do act like ever patients, private military company of coaching is actually referring specifically. and that's why he put the dates on it to the fighting activities in eastern ukraine. um, so uh, the volume outcomes still exist does still exist around the wells. it's also quite possible that the troops could actually use or leave russia and actually go, go a financing and ask, gets extremely lucrative. they'd be very well paid by the rest of the state, but they even benefit page by wagner because they are essentially like this particular organization that applies violence to steal assets from a failing countries. matthews, author of overreach, the inside story of put in and rushes war against ukraine. thank you very much for joining us on the program today. and as the wagner drama continues
6:17 pm
to unfold, ukraine's president has been rallying his troops on the front lines volunteers. lensky praised his military for what he called sweeping advances. so let's keep the office says he spent the day visiting troops station near bird against george bush . he's not in all directions. our soldiers headed in advance and it's a happy day. i wish the boys more days like this. i was with the unit so hot. it's yeah, and they distinguish themselves in the battle for buckboard. here oakley distinguished themselves well done warriors right as a big as life for us and keep i said, i want to continue this wagner conversation with you and get the ukraine perspective on that uh on what, if anything, it changes for the ukraine rusher. we're number one has been wagner. mutiny had any noticeable effect on ukraine's counter offensive over the last few days. it doesn't seem so those front lines remain relatively the same. no, we were just hearing from president savanski about,
6:18 pm
but most was the most. it took months and months for the russians to take over that city, and it's still in the hands of the russians now that ukraine is saying that they've made advances on several fronts. but, but what's the remains of the hands of the russians? if you look at the south is appreciate a nuclear plants that is again still in the hands of the russians. in fact, the ukrainians have said that they believe the russians attending an attack on that new tip time. and they have tons of explosives, although that hasn't been independent. the corroborative now except to reach a region, a speech, part of it is controlled by russia, exactly which this city is controlled by the ukrainians and across that river is that nuclear plants, that's the largest one. in europe now, the ukraine and say that they've put in plans to an emergency evacuation plans and exercises in place just in case if an accident happens. but in terms of the price of fields we are hearing from the ukrainians about these advances. but they don't seem to be very significant. that hasn't been a major breakthrough on those front lines. and those at the moment seem to remain
6:19 pm
the same door authorities in ukraine. see the wagner confusion as an opportunity for them of the well, i think when it started they hoped it would be, i think, uh when they sold this disarray, taking place in russia. they thought they could capitalize this. may be capitalized on this, but it's not like me. so tens of thousands of tons of has no back. no troops, manning the front line. so man, so we leave that post and head towards must go with. that's not what happened in the commanders of the ukraine. the minute you have add some more autonomy in terms of achieving the objective. so if you see an opening the front line that would take it and we would have seen those advances. so that didn't seem to be any real effect on those front lines. lesson for having preparing for this you can capture offensive to have their trenches that have their weapons and supplies. so the tv back to the still ongoing. but we still hear it from the southern to mind today,
6:20 pm
for example, saying that they've made it wants is and they will release that information soon. but in reality, in the last 24 hours, we've heard that you cleans, have gained 17 square kilometers and put that in perspective. that's 6 and a half square miles. that's not really that significant. and we hear about villages being re taken by the ukrainians. but the question is, what remains of those villages? how many people actually they've been has for teach it? it, is it so we haven't really seen any major break just in the ukraine sofa. okay. all really interesting and useful insights. acid be reporting from key. thank you. very much the 31 people have been killed that and me thing gas explosion in this used gold mine in south africa. the incident happened more than a month ago in the city of welcome. but details are just coming out now. the miners will report to be working illegally and the are from neighboring list to, to,
6:21 pm
for me to miller joins us from virginia in south africa for me that this happened a month ago. is anyone still alive? that's number one and what's happening at the my now as well to us. so the last part of your question very little is happening at the mind . at the moment. we've spoken to the owners of the mind how many gold. and they've said, because the situation is so dangerous, and this to that me think gas in the shop, there's very little they can do there in discussions with the government to see how to go about retrieving these bodies earlier. so at the time, and this was report to just off to that, the bodies were retrieved by other miners who were working. they legally, they bought for the government to go back down and get the this, the government has said no. and so they're still working, not exactly how to go about finding these bodies because there's no infrastructure down there. these are a band and mine shops, they haven't been used in decades. in fact, the company who owns this particular mine and said that this was
6:22 pm
a shop that was never operational. so there's no way to get anybody download it or get the bodies up. and i'm gonna step out of shop just to give you a better idea of what it looks like just behind that the mound of rocks these that shopped. and you might be able to see some of that hard to and the me think guess escaping the drug. now yeah, they're hoping that this will evaporate and, and eventually allow people to go down and perhaps retrieve the bodies down there. but to give you to all, to the 1st part of the question around the, if there's anybody who live down they, they don't know the minister of mineral resources here in south africa. had said that they are at least the $21.00 bodies. that means they could be moved and given the existence, the presence of the meeting gas and they've said some sort of movement. they're worried that they could be their suspicion. they say that there could be more bodies down,
6:23 pm
they owe more people. they just don't know yet. why we only learning about this a month after the explosion as well. what's important to remember is that to visa, illegal mind those refer to as is almost almost here in south africa. there are at least 6000 abandoned minds across this country with the diamond to gold. and once they've been abandoned because they aren't financially viable for industrial use, they lift mt and summit been sealed up. some have been rehabilitated, but many haven't. and so these miners either full of miners or informal minors, into these mine shops by whatever means possible. those that have been sealed, they use dynamite to reopen. they enter the shops to try and mine, whatever they can find. because it is still gold. and many of these mine shots now because these are a legal operations. those who are aware of this disaster on the ground
6:24 pm
a month ago didn't reported to authorities here in south africa. and because many of them are from neighboring list due to, they instead reported to either family and let's do 2 o authorities they and that's when the south african authorities, well noted by the list due to government. so it's taken many weeks for this to come to life and for some sort of effort to be made to try and retrieve those bodies. but as i said, very, this will happening because of how dangerous the situation is. there for me, the miller reporting from virginia just near the night mine in south africa. thank you so much. i. the position supporters are rallying and the canyon capital to protest against the raising taxes. their leader railroad didn't get, has called for civil disobedience measures include tax boy costs and pick a thing to deny the government revenue the indonesia. now where the president has launched a compensation scheme for victims of mass killings and force disappearances in
6:25 pm
shape, province truck. oh, we don't know. visited the side of abuses committed by security forces in room. oh, good gong. in the 19 ninety's. jessica washington reports from p in odd shape province. every week for the past 16 years, really you cut that, you know, somebody has come here to protest. she stands outside to causes presidential palace to demand justice. her son was killed by security forces in the late 19 ninety's. overtime, i feel that my sorrow over as well as death, has been transformed into determination to oppose law and human rights. the killing of more than a dozen university students into college. this is one is the death chapters in intonation history. once again in the spotlight as president ciocca with dodo launch is a compensation program for victims of 12 post human rights violations and the families. my dad, he me get that,
6:26 pm
but will we gather to healed the nation's rooms as a result of past gross human rights which have left a heavy burden on victims and families. incidents also include violence by security forces in the presence of l. 2 in specific locations between the 19 eighties and the early 2 thousands were honey julio says her entire family was tortured by security forces, including her 2 children who were killed by personnel in the scheme will provide scholarships, priority, health insurance, money for home renovations, and opportunities for vocational training, some victims have criticized the process. thing, it doesn't tell us how to trade his accountable, and it doesn't help answer questions about what happens to them or their loved ones . the government says the program does not interfere with legal avenues, but sofa, no suspected perpetrator of human rights abuses has ever been held accountable.
6:27 pm
some human rights groups have also criticized the program is failing to understand the needs of devises. each failure of you know, resulting human rights violation through the issue and unconditional will only rate in forces. uh uh, uh, the confidence of the but the trait there's that they are indeed above the little back in jakarta, korea says she will continue to protest, you know, one of her son. she says the happiness of her family was forcibly taken away, and she doesn't for the same stage for any one else. jessica washington, elda 0. j, indonesia, the english cricket bosses of issued
6:28 pm
a public apology for failing to tackle discrimination within their support. the 3 year investigation found, the game suffers from widespread institutional racism, sexism and elite as the commission was put in place and response to the black lives matter movement, it found the black communities within the u. k. have been let down and that women are still seen as an add on to the men's game. england's cricket board says there will be meaningful reforms within 3 months and on behalf of the sci fi why that leads to the game. i apologize to anyone who's ever been excluded from cricket or may to feel like they don't belong. cricket should be accounting for everyone. and this is not always been the case. i mean, truly sorry. i'll just hear a sports correspond to any. richardson joins us with more on that. so andy, this is this report runs the $300.00 pages. it's a deep dive into the world of english and welsh cricket. you told me what stands out to you in the report. i'm gonna think why is the people that may have had
6:29 pm
a thought to look through? it's and i was reading a piece by the full ring, the cricket captain, michael office, and he put it very well. and when he said, when sensible, painfully loved the game of cricket or presented with a version of it, they read on recognize and it wasn't their experience, it's tons of really stopped me, look and listen. and at least with this report, a lot of people happening. listen, so i'll give you for the 1st time on, on a lot of these issues. and i think we can go through some of that some of the key points that we pulled out of the reports, full files and people providing evidence for the report. the numbers on the damning, 87 percent of those with pakistani and bangladesh, and heritage said that experience discrimination, along with 82 percent of indian and 75 percent of black contributes, has other photos i funding. women regularly experienced the sexism, ms. searching equal marginalized. i was saying, hey, room last, let's see the oval cricket stadium, but the women's test team, there's been a little talk about the gross in the women's game. they've never played
6:30 pm
a game at lowe's, which it seems that the spiritual hong, this of english crickets. whereas elite ism here, english cricket describes the latest dominated by private schools and all boys networks. daniel h inverse is higher public schools games. that's probably the rules when his team has played one day games that they've just play the now she's test against australia. there's no play that little and that's never happened in the history. nothing else just emblematic of some of the issues we've got. but we've also found their full set an alcohol drinking culture across the game is put women at risk of unwanted attention and acts as a barrier to the inclusion of muslim communities. let's have a quick listen now to the former essex tricks to jehovah ahmed, and some of the experiences that he's going through a well plank professional cricket, any. even if i will pass some of my teammates, i'm moving to wouldn't even look at me or say how i like to me. and that's how it was. i'm always constantly keep, keep bringing up my cultural background of my face. you know, they will always,
6:31 pm
always bring that up. so one of the question that they did ask was them, what are the platitude off? um, what would i bomb them? um, so they saw a constant of um, uh, remarks and it's because it's always been there. um and you know, that's why i said i, i never felt fitted in with even the coaches there and always feel like an outside to accept apologies and uh, and then i am losing myself. we ate one of the safest, always to make sure we, you know, forgive them forget and move on and accept that. however, i mean, we've heard that so many times from e, c, b, always put a jobs in and always, uh, doing it a p. uh, initiate tvs and it's always been the case and the haven't actually changed much, let's be honest to and i feel like they need to do something, so that has to be action involving them. watch an always stop. then you stop taking
6:32 pm
boxes. they need to take action and then we can move forward from that. and the now that we've heard all of this is this report. the voices that are being heard, as you said, arguably for the 1st time, what's the fix? there is no easy fix and it's very easy to use quite cynical at this point and then the investigation does good words and good sense of a. now, there are a couple of easy things that i think could be done to the mind with things cricket bodies, both the, regulates that and promotes for the guy not seems to be a conflict of interest sized split. nice to see what change, how that looks. the thing and there was a lot of the issues is socio economic. but there's so many barriers that supplies from all different backgrounds and big boys goes from any background. we can remove those as a lot of money coming into the game districts. each one see through the 100 through the successive and national team. so relieve some of those barriers to young applies. i think just finally, tomorrow we have, i'll give you the sense of pace of english cricket, some of england versus australia at loads. and actually as tests much huge amount
6:33 pm
of interest in the game that even crickets seem to be 100 percent wants. there are flies of asian background within the scope, but for that game, tomorrow, it will panel white. see that is not reflective of the must have interest. there is . so it's asian in black communities across race level. it is reflective of what we're seeing described in that report and to change that it is going to take a so you just have a, this is a 1st. all right, andy, they said they said a significant reforms within 3 months, so we'll keep a close eye on that. we'll meet again. it's right. yeah, exactly. you'll come back and tell us if, if and what they've done, as you said, it's easy to be cynical, right? now we'll see again later this hour. thank you very much. and the richardson there's still a head on alpha 0. the search for those missing drinks for long as civil war. we look at why rights groups say that the government is unable or unwilling to help. and in sports, and he will be back to that manchester united announced record revenues that this group of fans are not happy. staples, the

said that he only had magazine and newspaper clippings. the special counsels indictment alleges that those present at the recording were shown classified materials. show you an example patient that i wanted to attack. or imagine i have a big problem. they presented me. this is off the record, but they presented me. there's houses here was white house correspondent, kimberly how can join us now from one this kimberly trump is going on trial over allegedly mishandling classified documents. so this sounds like a bomb show. tell us more about the recording where it came from and what trump says on it. this yeah, this recording was taken. we believe back in july of 2021. that's when a writer was present. recording working on a memoir and the president,
6:39 pm
as you described, was showing this writer documents from the pentagon that were in the words of the president classified. he said he could classify these documents, but now because he's out of office, he can't. he goes on to tell the writer that these documents that he's holding are highly classified, secret and confidential. now, multiple news outlets in the united states have obtained the audio recording. what we don't know is how exactly this was obtained. we do know that this is part of the evidence, that is part of the case against the president. and the allegations against 237 counts that he has claimed he is not guilty of as part of the case against him, that he has mishandled classified documents. and we should point out that that case is going to trial sometime later this summer, although there is an attempt to try and push that case to later in the fall,
6:40 pm
even as late as december. now, what we do know is that the president has claimed that there were no classified documents present when this recordings was made. obviously, this audio contradicts the president's claim. we have never known donald trump to admit any fault for i think anything. what does he have to say about this recording as well? he's not admitting salt as yet. again, in fact the president has taken to his social media outlet. true social 2 essentially say that he believes that this is an illegal leap, and that the special prosecutor is deranged. and he is alleging without proof but the f, b. i or the federal bureau of investigation as well as the department of justice are responsible for this lease. now again, there's no proof of that, but it does bring into question how exactly this did become public,
6:41 pm
given the fact that there are very few people outside of those bodies that would have had access to this audio. and so the president also says that contrary to what most are surmising from this, that incriminating the president, the president says, this exonerates him. he also says that once again, that's the case against him is a which i left offices. there was white house correspondent, kimberly how can thank you very much. sherlock. it has the 2nd highest number of recorded cases are forced disappearances more than 12000 people are missing after 2 marxist conflicts and 26 year civil war rights groups believe, many of them are in mass graves and say that the state is unable or unwilling to deliberate justice to the victims. now fernandez reports or districts on says about her son who is been missing for more than 3 decades. the dad and they took him from home around 10 pm saying they needed to get some information until today.
6:42 pm
there's been no news of him. it's been 33 years. it happened on the 7th of november 1989, around 10 pm. my son was sleeping. he was just 17 years old. now local and international rights groups have released a report card mos greeves failed exemptions, which looks at how justice has been denied to thousands of victims of sherlock as violent past. they have the most important fact to negatively impacting exemption. so far. your zip code, you're going to view it as a legal and policy framework is inadequate. they're also seeing the exemption. sites are not always been protected. rights groups have been helping families of victims of force disappeared and says, when skeletons were found during construction work here at the month and the government hospital audio. but the in hundreds like a top they may find that defined on says 155 skeletons. we already covered
6:43 pm
some with bullet wounds and all the injuries i having from that. of course, regarding that data that i see joseph a scene of time in this high local experts estimated the remains were from the country seconds marxist insurgency in the late eighty's. or the case was closed. after compensating said, they were from much earlier more than 350 skeletons were annette that this most great site, a manner in the northwest of the country. active is believe it contains the remains of people killed during the war between the ministry and tmo tag, a separatist. the delayed identifying the remains has been extremely frustrating for families. if you have the meaning, it's just us that we are asking for. we don't want compensation. how can you compensate for the loss of our loved ones issued on can government did not respond to audra. 0 is request for comment on the report by seeing an interview on french
6:44 pm
television president drive the crew missing has said any allegation regarding mos greeves can be taken to the truth and reconciliation commission, which is about to be set up hard to say the contents of the report out of said indictment of a state that should be ensuring justice fade citizens. but according to office, there is no political will to do that effect, that would bring no comfort to families waiting for on says, mean that fernandez, which is 0. colombo, is it? han pereira is the executive director of the national peace council of sherlock. he joins us from colombo. i want to address that very question that made the amino fernandez ended her report on with you. why is it so difficult for the families of missing relatives to get answers and to seek justice? the problem is that the doors in power at this time and for the costs 3, the kids. since the 1st students search,
6:45 pm
the moxie students erection ended, followed by the l. t. d. the time of the insurrection. the sam leadership has essentially been in power. the same for the degree. there is the same and maybe treat. den rose, i am powerless so they would not want to so spin that themselves, they would not want investigations to go any in any detail into what happened in the past. and that's, that's the big problem that we are facing. i mean, there is no question that the that should be accountability and that the families of the missing should know what happened to their loved ones that absolutely no question about it. the problem is that those in charge of the street on can sit are those who also let the committee tree in, in suppressing those insurrection. so how are they responding then to this report
6:46 pm
that was published by sherlock and, and international rights groups. the name of the report mass graves failed exit nations, has the government responded to it? i know it has not. but as the president in san diego, he said they didn't go to the took ben reconciliation commission. now there have been many commissions of inquiry that haven't gone into what happened in the past, but they have not been able to identify that and willing to identify who was responsible there really don't go into the should. it doesn't matter because of this part of this problem that there was a child at this stage on those who at the home on waiting when these human rights violations took place. you know, in any country delving into the darkest chapter of that country's history,
6:47 pm
especially if there have been atrocities committed, that just generally takes a very, very long time in sales from what you're saying lecture longer isn't there, the country isn't ready to have that conversation. of the you are right because also because the 2nd is direction which are the time know why. but then very broadly on, moody to back to see is in 2009 in a situation where the, the time of the tiger is that maybe 10 groups organization was a model of the people there. but in the people then the people essentially human. she has been the military when lots of people died in that. now the problem is you're not going to get to the people also, and it's the conflict, a civil and the majority population, the seeing how these, if making the dorothy believes that this solely does the military and the government perform the necessary task. that is also the reality of this time,
6:48 pm
so it's not as if the prison government and the leadership, political, and military leadership going to enjoy popular support on this call on the fact that they ended this separate this war. then they ended, the mock says do section. so i think i, you said that it's going to take more time the, the prison leadership probably will have to leave the scene before. that can be true accountability. but what can happen at this time? what i think is important at this time is that at least you should know the truth at the time. it is the missing should know what's happened to the not buttons. even though we don't go to the next stage which civil society and human rights groups. what we do, the accountability is punishment for those who engage been human rights violations
6:49 pm
and bulk items which took place in our country as a hunter, our executive director of the national peace counsellor sherlock and thank you so much for joining us today. thanks. i of human rights activists in chile say they're disturbed by a new law which allows police to use lethal force under the presumption of innocence. critic save the new trigger. unhappy laws, as being called, is not the answer to rise in crime, in what used to be considered the safest country in latin america or latin america editor lucy, a newman reports from santiago to have you had a castillo, is learning how to use a gun, and says that after just a few lessons, she's mastering how to hold aim and fire with him. she even dreamed of acquiring such a skill until she and her boyfriend became victims of rising crime and chimney. b. i figured it was terrifying. they fell off a cord, gunpoint was left and shot i was afraid to die. not statistically to
6:50 pm
leave remains one of the safest countries in a very unsafe region in a country where armed robberies and murderers for once rare bite and crime has short in the last few years. you can tell the people are looking over their shoulders a lot more than they used to, according to official figures. murder has gone up 33 percent violent robberies, 63 percent and kidnappings, which was something absolutely unheard of in chile, up until very recently by 77 percent. according to the government. and much of this mileage has been imported, for example, drive by robberies on murders on motorcycles. this and even more gruesome forms of crime has turned out this type of violence into the number one concern for the vast majority of julian's. in april 3, policemen were shot dead in the line of duty. chileans took to the streets to
6:51 pm
demand radical measures to combat crime and protect police under a fuse pressure. the next week government signed a controversial law on april 6th. that gives police the right to use the full force if necessary, under the presumption of innocence on like for the own, is, is now on the victim or family members to prove the police abuse their power. it's been nicknamed the truth, are happy law by critics including amnesty international and other human rights organizations. so normally go guess is the only thing the lord does is increase the possibility of human rights violations being committed, as well as increasing impunity by state agents when they commit to abuses against citizens. already a number of police when who are under investigation for abuse of power and violence have had their cases dropped since the law is retroactive. but for now that's not the main concern for most ordinary citizens. hopes that unlike in many neighboring
6:52 pm
countries, crime will not become just another normal part of life. to see and human al jazeera, cynthia. it's time for the sports news hero announces 0. we brought back and the richardson, eddie. thank you so much, sir. what else we've been hearing english, cricket bosses have issued a public apology for funding to tackle discrimination within the sport a 2 year investigation found, the game suffers from widespread racism. sexism on a lease isn't even seem a currently getting ready for the 2nd anxious test against australia. and captain ben stokes read out a statement in response to the report apologizing to anyone who felt discriminated against the game. i love, and the millions worldwide los should be enjoyed without fear of discrimination or judgment, whether that be due to your book, bringing race or gender. as i said earlier, everyone has a different story to tell. i am ben stokes, born in new zealand,
6:53 pm
a state educated people who dropped out of school at 16 with one g, c, a c and p. i needed help with the spelling and grammar in the speech. and i am currently searching here as england, men's test costs, and it is clear there's so much more of the game has to do. and as players, we really wants to be a positive that to ensure that this is trudy simple for everyone to or around the same time this report was commissioned. formerly your reply is a more fake said english cricket was institutional erases his complaints. let's with separate investigation into yorkshire, admitted to mishandling his case, the english cricket board has today recommended the club receive a fine of $637000.00 and a significant points reduction across all 4 months. for features of pakistani heritage has been spoken to l. g 0 is so. hell malik? and he gave this reaction to the equity ripples. i think this reports on president, i don't think i want to thank the commission. so all the how do they put in the
6:54 pm
united be the been a lot delays and it's being frustrated, but it was very important that they got it right. so i just wanna thank cindy, but on her team. i don't, you know, also i want to think to call them people over 4000 people are built of the coverage, you know, to talk about their experiences and which is not easy to do the ac b have apologized. do you think the apology goes far enough? well, i think it's a stop. the apologies to bare minimum they could do, you know, b, c, b a, as a governing body. i've got to take the responsibility on the fact that 87 percent of sunny and bangladesh of people have suffered discrimination. well thing. cricket, 82 percent of indian people suffer discrimination well playing cricket, 75 percent of black people, a suffer discrimination, rockland cricket, and you know, 50 percent of all people playing the game stuff with discrimination. so, you know, the game of cricket has discriminated against the law, spot law society. and the apology was the least that they used to be could do before they start to work. and how we're going to move forward. and you know, i'm,
6:55 pm
i'm comfortable with price and then for an apology, which they have absolutely no choice but to make we've seen the ink and football team in particular, then manage a garrett. southgate really make the fight against discrimination. a really big cause of this. do you think england cricket team can learn something from them and really do more? yeah, i mean look at, i mean get yourself good. and incredible leader. i think he's been incredible with the football loves and you've seen the at the young lots of really sort of, you know, showing the society as to how to behave. um, in terms of yeah, i mean, wouldn't it be great to at, you know, to have the immune team a day before not just to come out and, you know, get behind something like that. but the other thing we might be waiting a long time, i think we're a long way away from that. and i don't feel like cricket is still surprisingly and sadly ready to upset the the we have such a big issue. is it or doom and gloom? when it comes to racism and discrimination in english cricket,
6:56 pm
we've seen people from ethnic minorities play for england and even kept in england in the past. yeah, well i mean, when, when you look at this report, it pretty much is, i think what's happened is they've been glossed over by not, you know, and on, you know, across and getting it through the system and the claim for england. that's not the, that's not a good gauge of what i know. we have a racism and discrimination. we didn't again, i think this ripple at this point. i don't think that can be any question as to the states of english cricket. and i think it's very important that people come together and you know, make changes now. now the other ones are facing the west indies in the cricket. wells co qualifier in zimbabwe. the dutch, this incredible game needed one run. so when a final, instead, the last of wicked and i'm in the game finished and it's all right when so a supervisor, which is crickets equivalents of a penalty sheets house. evidence baset logan fund, big smashing to see if his team 6 extra bowls. does that sound good when these
