11:05 am
a franchise. and so you have different, really, very distinct organizations that carry the same brand. it was the war and ukraine, and watkins, role in it, which cemented precautions importance from 2014 white. the contracts had reinforced and organized the pro russian separatist fighters in crimea and don't pass. wagner played a crucial role in russia's 2022 invasion. the handful of russian battlefield success is often coming as a result of precautions must enrich rather than regular russian troops. all done with the political and financial backing. president putin and the criminal 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 prouder. emma shrugged his fondness for video selfies and
11:06 am
uncompromising rhetoric boosted his up that i don't see within russia on his profile outside of russia. but his temper, combined with a willingness to open the parade, the russian defense ministry undoubtedly made him enemy's exploits. if phil's ranch about the lack of a munition on the front lines was aimed directly at the general's in moscow and expose the depth of the feud between precaution, i'm putting the closest command us. well not to go by pretty positive. we have a 70 percent shortage of admission. shelly, good garage you month to month where? where's munition? look at them? the new precautions ordered his fighters to advance on moscow. it set events in motion which made his downfall perhaps inevitable progression. cold of the march uprooted round that at trees, and there was only going to be one when a progression was forced to back down. observe, as was surprised, shocked even when the kremlin announced that the work, the boss would not face criminal charges from the rebellion. but precautions,
11:07 am
life expectancy has been the topic of intense speculation ever since pull brennan, i'll just there that special correspondent and the ukrainian capital vol. mcbride is life or as in keys. so it was the theme, the reaction, vision precautions desk given, has voted in the world, has been actually very little official response reaction to this. i think it's true to say that they will be very few to shed here in ukraine for the demise of getting at pretty goals. and given his and his vol connect groups, the record on the eastern front in particular, these brutal assaults on the ukrainian forces, especially in under, around the city of back, moved many people here. i think the interesting a, the interest now we've watched this will mean in terms of the possible episode of upheaval inside the russia. what do the good of the existing wagner rights sitting
11:08 am
up in the camps in bel air roofs, north of ukraine or back in russia? do now with the reports potentially all the, some sort of reprisals being taken on behalf of pre causing in response to that. the people here remember the disruption caused by this ill fated new to the 2 months ago. the city of ross stuff on down just across the boulder in southern russia. that's the big staging, post full rushes military troops coming in to ukraine, coming out of ukraine and having that taken over by the valve. the right to know it has a very debilitating effect. on the arrival of the russians in the trenches along the front lines here in ukraine age for that reason that russia will not want to see any people on rest as a result of based on the exactly why ukraine would welcoming the pay rate of disruption. having the thing to take the pressure off its policies. and meanwhile, rob, you claims mocking its independence day as the country continues to be attacked.
11:09 am
yeah, that's right. i mean, i think i said lower immediate concern. i didn't trust to people here in keys and cities throughout ukraine. this is a national holiday. this is independence day. and of course, it is rich, the symbolic being celebrated at a time of when war is raging and not very independent. so it seems is on the threat, we're in the heart of keith. while he is a kind of parade, if you will, of destroyed, rushed in on. but this is all on, but that is come from various front lines across the country is being placed here for people to come out to walk around. there's very little in the way of large scale official events on this day. the fear is just as they celebrate it last year, that any large events, if it was the subjective of the test, would cause mass casualties. so everything is fairly low key. it is fairly muted, but to that has been a video message from blood. to me is a lensky,
11:10 am
the ukrainian president, wishing me happy independence day to everyone in ukraine, saying that this is a day, he says, day of the free a day of the strong and the day i'll be dignified. there is a consent that also the russians very well a mock this day as well with a tax that has been an attack over night in dundee, pro and me so far as a civilian residential area with 7 injuries. and the defense is the military. the authorities very much home that god in case rush, it tries to mock this day as well with more attacks. all right, well thank you very much for that problem to try joining us live in cheese washing most and reese from the walk in a group of being active in west africa and recent years for goals and believes as last video, supposedly from molly nicholas hawk has moved from the car and neighbor on synagogue. as i spoke to officials from the central african republic for the back. the group has been active for a number of years at key allies to the government there to fight off the arm groups

11:12 am
continent. but there was a sigh of relief in paris or in washington dc where they saw the extension of the vaca group in africa as a threat. nicholas hawk algae 0 the car. the leaders of the works alliance of nations have invited 6 countries to join the economic blog. the leaders of brazil, india, china, and south africa has been joined by russia's president on video link for most close south african president. so around the pose and made the announcement at the annual summit in johannesburg. we have decided to invite the ident, teen republic, the outer up republic of egypt as the said, the democratic republic of if your po, the is law, make public, ron,
11:13 am
the kingdom of saudi arabia and the united arab emirates to become full members of breaks the membership will take effect from the 1st of june. now, while they turn to trinity full, let's bring it on, corresponded finally the minute. she's joining us laws from johannesburg and the brooks group really attracting a level of interest rarely seen since its founding in 2014, find me that it has a tractor. the nice thing, what the break so group would consider an important role today. as in terms of the representation they would want globally, and perhaps shifting the focus to the global south. and also what south african president sort i'm of course has pulled up a multilateralism essentially just wanting a break to voice and a global platform. but to give us a break to insight into perhaps what breaks might be doing and the reaction to that
11:14 am
were speaking to the united nation. so could you general spokesperson, stefan derek? thank you so much for your time this morning. now we've heard from so from up towards the end of the leaders here at the break summit, essentially criticizing the this is a global outlook in terms of how the global south is treated representation, everything from politics to the financial structures. now we've got countries like saudi arabia, iran joining breaks. what is your reaction to this criticism also to the united nations? we, we've heard from leadership saying that it displays the conflicting ukraine displays the weakness of the security council. is there understanding around what these criticisms all and the complaints from countries involved in? great, great, well, great question. corporate court, a lot to unpack here or in terms of the breaks, the members of the breaks take the decisions they, they want in terms of, of membership. this, it was very important for secretary john gutierrez to make a lightning visit here to johannesburg,
11:15 am
and really deliver the same message he does at the g 7 and the g 20 and others summit, which is that we need to fight against the fragmentation of the world. what we need is fully universal and representative international institutions like the united nations, what is what he hears, and what he understands is we need to address the fundamental injustices that are built into the current architecture of many and international institutions. i mean, you take the content of, of africa, which is being definitely penalized in a sense when the un and its institutions were created. it was still under the control yo, yo. and it wasn't at the table when these institutions were created. so we need to go back and i imagine there are truly representational. we need a reform security council. the fact that there is no african representation on the security council is a clear show of, of the lack of, of the, the injustice in
11:16 am
a sense. so what he wants, he wants member states to really build fully universal and representative institution. so we fight against the fragmentation of the world, which is very dangerous. might the human consider some of the suggestions. it's made us a little too little too late to give them that countries involved in bricks have resorted to a block that they consider to be in place of what might lend itself to fragments as well. i mean, you know, that when you talk about the u. n, we need to be clear about what you, when you're talking about the, just the, the way to reform the institution is room member states. and it is through the permanent members of the security council through the major economies who all have receipts every member state of the un has a stake in ensuring that the institution is strong and represent to represent to
11:17 am
the secretary general is pushing this message. he has no authority to do it himself . if you have, he would have done it, but we need, he is shepherding the member states, ensuring everyone is moving in the same direction to try to fight the in balance of power that we see in the world today. one of the key points that was highlighted was increasing construct intentions. we think globally, and perhaps they haven't been handled as adequately as they should be. all the concerns that we may see increase tensions between russia and the united states. china and the united states. what is the way forward in terms of trying to ensure that there's some level of go? well, i mean, the way to ensure it is to ensure that there is a coherence and lack of division and security council, which there isn't currently uh, but you know, on, on us in china is there a lot of issues of us in china? well, frankly, not agree on, but there are lots that they need to agree on. notably on climate, on technology, we cannot have a world that is divided in terms of 2 different financial systems,
11:18 am
different security architectures of the war and ukraine. the secretary general has been calling very clearly for the end of the war in line with the charter in line with the search all integrity of, of ukraine and his, his message of peace and of the go see ations is the same. what he's delivering all over the world. so i'm thank you very much for your time or speaking. it's united nations us different to jericho, giving us insight into the positions the secretary general of the united nations has. when it comes to the developments at this rich summit, we are expecting to hear from a number of other leaders throughout the course of the day. so i'm going to thank you very much for that. some of the minute joining us live from johannesburg, the china, his band, and ports of old sea food products from japan. the soft to talk here, the guy that's controversial. dumping of treated nuclear waste water into the pacific ocean. china says the release is self sufficient and responsible,
11:19 am
the japanese government and the u. n's new for the a watchdog says it won't be dangerous to release more than a 1000000 tons of spent cooling water. over several decades. the japanese fishermen and some pacific, all the nations disagree with the plan. the protest is demonstrated outside the office at the palms. operation company in tokyo, kind of comment gunnery has moved from focus. she months tapco the plant operators will release of treated radioactive wastewater in smaller portions, initially with more frequent testing. it will diluted with sea water to ensure that the discharge is $148.00 of the concentration permitted under depends safety standards. it will then take the sea water and put it through an under sea tunnel one kilometer off shore, which is connected to the pacific ocean. now this year alone, japan looks to release $312000.00 tons of treated waste water that's about equivalent to 30 tanks. now in this initial discharge,
11:20 am
which is expected to take place over the course of 17 days, pepco said that it would release 7800 cubic meters. now, according to taps coast test results announced on thursday. this initial discharge contained $63.00 barrels of tritium, a radioactive isotopes per liter, that's below the world health organization safety standards for drinking water, which is $10000.00 barrels per liter. h republicans hoping to be the next us president of how they assess debate. they criticize president jo bivens economic policies in spot of abortion, climate change and energy policy. but the, from china and full president, donald trump, wasn't their use due to surrender and georgia laser to face a racketeering and conspiracy charges to overturn the 2020 election results on the stays on. hendrick has moved from milwaukee and wisconsin. the debate got spicy fast and then it got even splice here.
11:21 am
mr. rice for us to give russia present with 8 candidates dramatically lagging in poles to an indicted, former president who didn't even bother to show up. the 1st republican presidential debate of the 2024 campaign season began as a rolling bro continued from there. charles bates, this is a lightning rounds not rolling thunder. florida governor run descent is leading the poles and goes on stage. was expected to be the one with the target on his back. my sole focus will be on your future and reversing this countries decline with the candidate who drew the most fire was often a business man described by some is bombastic and charismatic. and it wasn't donald trump because this scared a guy with a funny last name. the city, one of these debates, bright, who stood in the middle of the stage and said,
11:22 am
what's a skinny guy with an odd last name doing appear? was brock obama. and i'm afraid we're dealing with the same type of amateur. the do you want the hand do brain to rush or he wants to let china eat taiwan. he wants to go in stop funding israel's and you are choosing a murder or a future career on the board of lockheed and raphael. do you want us to prepare puppet, or do you want a patriot? who speaks the truth? do you want improvement? or do you want revolution? it was a contrast of youth and experience. i think if you're looking for an outside of the candidate, the background rama swami. one very easily. if you're looking for the political establishment, i think the winner was nikki haley because i think she was affected. we defended foreign policy and she also did very good job on the board. i'll tell you who did
11:23 am
a great job in absent trump appeared in an online interview instead, as some was declared him unfit to resume office. we have to face the fact that trump is the most disliked politician in america. we can win a general election that way. when it was over, the candidates assess themselves, invariably favorably, did you achieve what you want to do, sir? well, i thought it was great. i, i know we had a vigorous debate about the future, the republican party, and i was able to make my case that the most of the experienced proven conservative, ready on day want to bring that kind of leadership. it will turn this country around. questions, debate will likely narrow the fees for the next round in september, it ended without a clear sign that any of the candidates became a more challenging arrival to a former president with a runaway lead in the polls. john henry l. u 0 milwaukee degrees. now,

with firefighters and been backing wall 5 for 6 days. on tuesday they found the bodies of 18 suspected migraines, high wins of reunited some fires, which were out of control. and athens to place destroyed several homes and cause authorities of issues. thousands of evacuation orders for villages this week. let's bring in our correspondent johns throughout the laws. he's joining us live from alexandria police to how to find funding if it's gone. and john, have those gale force winds of the past few days? is this whole hello, elizabeth, as you can see, probably in here behind me there is still some wind. i'm. this is complicating firefighting efforts. there are many 5 friends in the hills behind me, which you probably can't see because of the smoke that's covering them. and that has been in the last 4 days, i was alone. more than $200.00 new 5 as many of them in places that had already been done because there's so much heat still in the ground. and there's more of
11:25 am
fuel that can be ignited. it hasn't all been burned up. there are still some 505 phases in these hills just in the electronic police area, 200 of them from neighboring countries. dozens of vehicles we've seen have a couple of in planes flying overhead today are. but even as this fire still burns and still destroys both wild lands and farm land and human property, already the 1st tale of what's been destroyed in the past week. this fire is now and its 6th day is 61000 hector's. that's an enormous proportion of this particular corner of greece of western stories. so the political recriminations have already begun. there are now there's not expected to be a lively debate in parliament about whether the government know certainly handled the fires and manage the fight as well. but also whether there was adequate preparation last winter,
11:26 am
and possible legal consequences to john because we're hearing that the supreme court has launched an investigation. is this suspicion of austin. and there are floating suspicions of us and you know about the video that's now notorious of an albanian man who captured 3 mike, the 13 migrants and put them in the trailer of his truck and presented them in a video and posted on social media. saying that they had been lighting fires. well, those 13 migrants have now been indicted by the alexandria poly, prosecute for possible conspiracy to commit us and uh, endangerment of human life and possession of explosive substances, which actually amount to a couple of tires, some wood and gasoline. however, those simple materials would be enough to lie some major fire if one was open
11:27 am
minded to do. at the same time, there is great concern about the greeks taking the little into their own hands and mistreating migrants who are being flushed out of the forest behind me who have crossed over from turkey and r undocumented and could disappear without some trace . and so there is also an indictment against the albanian man and his 2 greek accomplices for racially motivated violence and for incitement to others to commit some of the violence. we came across a potential incident of this kind yesterday. elizabeth, when in the village of keela, we saw about 20 migrants huddled on the village square against the wall being very obviously goddard, and kept the by local villages. and when we attempted to go and talk to them and sell them, we were threatened with violence ourselves. and we were told to leave immediately which we were forced to do. i have informed the authorities of that group of people
11:28 am
. there is no information forthcoming yet about what happened to them. elizabeth john, it's a very concerning situation. thank you very much for your reporting from alexander pally. the firefighters in canada is versus colombia. say rain has helped in their attempt to put out wildfires that are forced thousands of people from the hollins. dozens of funds arranging in the provinces, canada is facing one of the worst was 5 seasons. broadway notices in the funds on from across the lake open august. the fire damage to west colona is clear to see. a few nights ago, the shoreline was an inferno. it's one aspect of the worst wildfire year in canada is recorded history so far in 2023 more than 5700 fires have broken out from nova scotia in the east, the british columbia, and the west and the yukon territory. far to the north right now, more than a 1000 fires are active and
11:29 am
a quarter of them are burning uncontrolled. according to canada's fire agency, an estimated $190.00. 6000 people have been evacuated and at least 6 have died. nearly 140000 square kilometers of burned scientist say the global root cause of these individual events is clear human caused global warming. one of the common threads for all of these fires is longer fire seasons, more intense droughts and more extreme fire, whether the degree of temperature, the degree of drought and the wind combining to drive these fires, all of which are linked to climate change. british columbia is premier, noted that it's a world wide crisis. the ferocity of the fires, the extent of the burning, the historic nature of the forest myers were saying, not just here in british columbia, but in greece and nova scotia and united states. uh it just devastating fires that are clearly linked to so human cause climate change experts say the fires
11:30 am
themselves are making global warming words. when fires burn it burns carbon in the trees and in the soil and release is carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. that increase concentration of, of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere creates the more extreme droughts and makes the changes to our fire seasons which trigger more fires which release more greenhouse gases. so you can see how this creates a positive feedback loop. birth forest and holes are a disaster for people who live here, but they're also a sign that our planet is changing rapidly, with consequences for everyone everywhere. rob reynolds, l g 0, colona, british columbia. the know, again, i'm elizabeth toronto and.
