of the day our peers and rivals, with one daring goal to help smart nature, the more likes watching it on youtube dw documentary, the . this is the w news. why? from berlin? the u. k. counts down to the coordination of king charles. there are just hours to go until the service at london's westminster abbey. when you all the built off ahead of the events. flash floods kill almost 200 people in the democratic republic

of congo. the damage has force manning to sleep outside with critical infrastructure washed away, and the hand of russia is wagner, mercenary is trenton, and his forces out of the training and city of boston next week. and he blames to kremlin for his troops. having lots of the and a warm welcome to our viewers around the world. i'm michael low to the u. k. is counting down to its 1st coordination in 70 years. king charles, the 3rd will be crowned at london's westminster abbey in a religious ceremony. that dates back centuries, thousands of people have been lighting the streets of the british capital since long before dawn on a day that will be filled with compton pageantry. the

shoes to the king. on the eve of his carnation king charles, along with his son and daughter, and the prince and princess of wales, greeted some of the thousands of well wishes outside, fucking, and palace to the front left come summons to them. on the many royal steeple sons travels from all over the u. k. and the world to come out in london for the celebrations. you don't want 50. i know i'm 6 feet again really did not say enough to hang the phone. so you know, the parts of fits and joy, it's impressions. i'm happy to be here even though i'm not british, but it feels like it's a global subject celebration. so lots, lots to find. lots of energy. i love the people i met love the palm and pageantry. not everyone in the u. k. supports the event as an anti millnicky group is planning

to protest. the combination of buddies, mtv one, the cd. but it's monica abolished. we want to have a comment to the public similar to how many island license ad. yeah, we want to do that because it's wrong in principle to have the key in the democratic society. despite the elaborate celebrations this weekend support for the mona key in britain. is it a historic, you know, according to a survey earlier this year, maybe 29 percent of people set them on a key was very important. dw corresponded very good moss is on the streets of central london for us, soaking up the atmosphere. rain is predicted for a later today. i asked her if she thinks a bit of traditional british grizzle will damp and people spirits. i don't think that the rain is going to them than anyone's made to. the full cause is very london, which means showers lights are on are expected,

but here i am. it's on the wall and this is where people have been very camping for the last days. and people. 1 still coming in, so yeah, this is really i have to say very, very jointly and i expect that every little shower would probably be greeted with the chair rather than a big side because british people used to it little bit of writing here in that jolly indeed it might be safe to say the bricks it's saga and the resulting political circus has damage. britain's image internationally can today help reset that well, the, the model key, the royal family are seeing here in britain as part of task diplomacy. so that was visible when, for example, charles was visiting gemini in order to try it was his 1st visit, a broad as king. and that was saying this as a diplomatic move and,

and try thing i would say to you to further those uh, relations with close european partners who was also supposed to go to friends that well have been that's a baton issue over breaks that i think of that safe to say, but it's not on the europe. uh, that's important. it sold to the commonwealth. so the light queen has really the unity of the commonwealth as one of her priorities. she made around $200.00 state visits during her reign to commonwealth countries too. so the royal family uh, facing the all seeing as, as, as part of the, the, the good side of freight and when it comes to international relations. very good i'm, i'm curious from your vantage point, how united is this united kingdom now that charles is receiving his crown? well, i've spoken to lots of people in the last weeks and months about demonica and how people see it. and it's also what opinion polls are saying that there is support for them on the case. a lot of people are on that. suppose that either way,

and they still actively trying to convert the u. k. into a republic. those off the minority bots, the support has been rising. and also recently since the death of the late queens, they are hoping that the arguments will be hard. and they hoping that this will be the start of the debates of the future of britain. and they were hoping that they can to and britain to run into the republic, but it's going to take time. that's nice. going to happen overnight and today is the day what a lot of people will be watching. what's happening here in london. and we'll be watching that king being crowned. and that's our very good loss, and whether you're a republican or royal, as you can watch, the coordination of king charles the 3rd here on the news full live coverage from westminster abbey from 11 o'clock for meantime, a brief look now at some of the other stories making use around the world, the united states as deported dozens of migrants from texas joseph days before

a change and border restrictions. current regulations allow authorities to expel migrants without letting them apply for a sign on. the rule was introduced during the pandemic and expires on may 11th serve as president, alexander boot judge has proposed a new gun control measures following to mass shootings in as many days as you want to freeze on gun permits and more psychological checks on owners. the present, it is also promising to remove weapons left over from the yugoslav wars of the 1990s. in the democratic republic of congo, more than a 170 people have been killed in flash floods in the eastern province of south people. the flooding and lands lives caused by torrential rains, collapse, houses, schools, and other buildings. many of the residents got buried under the rubble. investigate workers have also been pulling out dead bodies covered in my

2 ukraine now. and the head of the russians, wagner, mercenary group, is threatening to withdraw his forces from the besieged city of buck, mood as early as next week. if gaining precautions fighters have led most goes attempts to capture the city. since last summer, he blames the group's heavy losses on the kremlin failure to supply his troops with enough ammunition for the part of you and your kind of walk yet. that's what i advise you, but as you would be so kind words, 2 years, not a day goes by without commentary from russia's vocal oligarchy. you've given you pretty gordon on the war and ukraine, or those are what i need to provide. so if you will kind of walk me more than just an opinionated billionaire, he's a key player in the conflict as commander off the walk in a group, a private army of mercenaries. and over the course of the war,

he constantly has ruffled feathers and long rush as a lead. pre gordon has frequently blamed chief of staff by you to get, i assume of and defense minister to see if the cycle for not providing ammunition to walk in. or he has even threatened them or not. so you can watch good by pretty positive. yeah, there's the friends up. so who? yeah. yeah. chris, you got the you the parts please? sure. the, the the but who is big was and why can you speak so openly? the st. petersburg need of had a trouble started in life spending most of his 20 behind bars for robbery and stepped. after his release, he set up a chain of hot dog stands in his hometown and earned enough money to open a restaurant. in the mid nineties, the new venture allowed him to mix with the rush of high and mighty,

including vladimir 1414 broad, 4, and guess their earning. pete was in the nickname, 14 chef on the announcement that the walking to good will retreat from buckled seems to be assigned the p. gordon's relationship with the kremlin is cracking. he enjoys a lot of leeway from preteen when it comes to the war and ukraine. but is on dangerous ground when it comes to his political ambitions. the gap is growing between the role that protein has assigned to him and the political place which he believes to deserve. especially with walter's future being, i'm certain. what makes you want just to do? the fact is that the volume at bmc is coming to an end. it will cease to exist in the near future in the world as part of history. so that's okay, right, exactly why. pre gordon is announcing the end to the walk in a group remains unclear for now,

the gordon might not be prepared to fully challenge his president. but that could change if his long term patrons show signs of losing his grip on power would be a day. earlier i spoke to marina moran from the war studies department at kings college london. i asked her if this threat to withdrawal wagner troops changes anything on the eastern front and ukraine. uh oh, um, apparently um the precautions video and his subsequent letter from yesterday has shaking up things in the movies during a very important period for us shows that as of may celebrations, and he has strep to his drawer, i think is an ultimate ultimatum to the m o b to send more artillery shells. because the problem is that wagner is not only active in ukraine problem and has been relying in boston or, and in other parts of the world. so i should say on the african continent. and molly wagner has been operating in syria. so this difficult relationship was wagner

in law. satisfying precautions, requests and ukraine would have a far reaching ramifications for the kremlin being able to use wagner's elsewhere as for a policy rule. and obviously it will make it difficult for the russians to take over a bucket, because wagner has been much more proactive there. and we know that the russians having a lot of forth comments in military terms. so that would be detrimental. what do we know about the veracity of precautions? claims or voc new troops really short of ammunition when compared for example to ukrainian forces to so i think his claims are also blown out of proportion. we see he's very emotional and he's been saying that they are getting only 30 percent off. what would be a required drawing, embarrassing, what is learned at at or tillery schools and how the immunization is collected and allocated. stating that because of the lack of fair munition,

he lost troops. however, this is a very simplified way of seeing and because there are a lot of other factors. so we have to take it with a grain of salt in terms of the numbers. um, that being said, there is a certain the set dissatisfaction with an overall performance of the russian armed forces in ukraine. and i think he's starting to present a threat to that movie. and specifically to, um, is a defense minister showing cool. at was his political ambition sense, you know, possibly wanting to reform the russian on forces according to his own ideas. so he's kind of a political threat who's running now this be our campaign. so we, we have to be careful taking everything. he says at face value that said there was a certain tension going on there for a while. now. that is marina muran many, many thanks as always. thank you. and finally,
