a block as our mimeo looks set to give up its claim upon the region and police in portugal, watching a new search for madeline mccann, the board. this toddler disappeared 16 years ago. during a family vacation, the i break off is good to have you with is a russia. it says that it has repelled dozens of ukrainian militants who crossed into one of its border towns. it happened in the southern the russian region belgrade. moscow was calling it a sabotage attack on russian territory. launched by cheap, ukrainian officials have denied any involvement, insisting that these are the actions of anti kremlin russians of russia. claims these images show its armed forces destroying an alleged ukrainian border as

old group and its southern bolder rod region. moscow side is killed dozens of suppose that attackers, the russian defense ministry, accused keys of carrying a quote of terrorist actions against the civilian population. inside russia, russian state media broadcast. these images of alleged evacuees from villages near the border with ukraine. moscow claims dozens were forced to leave their homes as a result of the ukrainian assault. the fighting broke out about 5 kilometers from the border. keith has denied any connection to the attack on the kremlin opposition . groups claimed they were behind the incursion in boulder road in time to put his hand to the where i'm going to dictate her ship by sea, but send you to all those who support us. who sign explanations are not face the board. you that's amazing explosives. last year, support or microsoft every day of our final goal,

the red square and they seem to be brave and don't be afraid because we are coming back home, which is russia will be free. shane, so the more or see if we get started with it to try to the kremlin, said the violence, his aim, that distracting attention from bus moot which russian forces claim to have captured after 10 months of intense fighting. maria aviva is a your ukrainian security expert and she gave me her assessment of these attacks. well, this is not the shortest time. we see a tax on russian territory. and every time the russian groups are taking responsibility for that, and that must happen then also in brask region. and now in bunker at the region, there are also a drawing, a tax on the russian territory. and again, the russian groups go taking responsibility for that. and this is that a few saw your brain and position that your brain is not at taking the territory of

russia. and these are awesome. and sergeant military groups that are, that are dealing with this. and that's what they say now the same. and that about the situation in the morning rush, i was trying to get control over this. not the big a c 2 for more than 10 months. and now nothing is left of us more than just fluids . and still, they are trying to get the full control over the seats and you bring on groups are excellent and sort of can eat because buttonwood is, uh, if you see it on the map, it's a, it's in the lower position. so there are a higher grounds around, and that's where you break down groups now advance and uh, and they will advance for us that this is the plan to and so coach russian troops and to attack them from a higher position. so it has nothing to do with the situation and beyond got and

was attacks in belgrade. and i think that we will see them intensified in the upcoming weeks and months just because russia is obviously not being able to control its own territory. and that was the great in security experts, maria of david, they're speaking with me earlier. our meeting as prime minister is offering to recognize neighboring eyes or by john's sovereignty over the disputed region of new gordo. kyra buck, the 2 former soviet republics have been locked in conflict over the area for decades. a fragile ceasefire has now paved the way for peaceful. it's a territory that's been plague, but i'm classes for over to 2 years, punctuated by 2 deadly conflicts. but the long dispute over no gore, no cadillac could be coming to an end. which one which has a meaning, you recognize this as a by john's tarrot trade 8 to 6600 square kilometers. so long as, as

a by sean is willing to recognize the territorial integrity of our meaning is 29800 square kilometers as a by john's tired trait includes and going to cover about the k number of joke on to which some of us who personnel and make the commitment on condition that our servers, young guarantees, the safety of ethnic armenians living there. the region was established by the soviets, after world war one predominantly populated by ethnic armenians. it was never the less included within the soviet socialist republic of a survey on since the collapse of the soviet union, armenia and a sub a john have both made claims to the territory. some 7000 soldiers were killed in the last war. in 2020. the foreign ministers from both countries met in moscow last week for a trilateral talks with russia star gay life rough leaders from both armenia and to

serve a. john met you council chief charles michelle and brussels 10 days ago. they are expected to meet russian president vladimir putin on 1st day. he's still seen as a key broker by the posts, so you have neighbors. to lawrence, scott seeds is the founder of the consulting group. you're asian, international analytics into policing. i asked him, why are media is ready to give up in the corner of the camera block now? well, the fact is that they never really controlled it. in any formal sense, the controls it and ethnically cleansed, a miniseries, i think, missouri is from the surrounding areas. but the war ended 3 years ago with the rezoning seat and or perhaps 50000 ethnic our meetings left in what was called new york or bach. maybe in one city and if you do just, i mean the prime minister of armenia is dealing with reality and both the

presidents, both the leaders are many and as a bridge on pre advise that there must be peace established. so is that what you think is gonna, as is going on here, that reality has arrived in our meeting and politics? is that why we're seeing our media? i'm willing to take this step. well, if that wasn't the case, then we'd be seeing massive demonstrations in our media, and we're not seeing that we're, we're seeing the most resistance is within your many d as per a, mostly based in the united states. and is among the very few people in the corner crow by her leading that the fact to wherever you want to call it, the government insight. as for john, so if it was such a contentious issue, then mister punch in young wood, that's been re elected as prime minister. and um, there would have been demonstrations and we're not seeing that. we're seeing people

dealing with the reality and wanting to get on with life. and when you looked at the, just the power relations in this region, there obviously is a rushing components here, but the steps that we're talking about tonight, what did they tell us about? guarantees of safety guarantees coming from rush reports ele. uh, russia. i think it's always been a shotgun marriage between the army and the russian. i'm not sure that there's any political mouthwash there, especially the prime minister. witness refreshing. yeah. and the crime and it would be, hold the kremlin to demonstrate that it can be a force for constructive dialogue and work between as we're joining our media rather than be here. destructive for us, which it's currently seen is given a situation in ukraine and elsewhere. so i think that again,

we're just dealing with the realistic situation. there isn't a huge debate about where the border is between as redundant. i mean, we're talking about a few 100 meters here in there. that's it. okay. or it's catchy. it's joining us tonight from subleasing. we appreciate your time and your analysis tonight. thank you. for portuguese police are carrying out a new search for madeline mccann. this is the 4th time that police have searched for the british toddler since she disappeared. 16 years ago. it's been 16 years since a model in the con disappeared but not a portuguese investigators are looking for clues at this remote reservoir. it's located around 60 kilometers from the resort where mccann went to missing. madeline was 3 when she vanished while on holidays with her family and prior the loose despite and international search, she's never been find. this location was allegedly frequented by the main suspect.

he's been named as christian b and is behind bars in germany for raping a woman. in the same area of the al gore of region from where the british toddler went amazing. christian b is also under investigation on suspicion of murder in the mccann case, but hasn't been charged. he's denied any involvement, but at the behest of german on saturdays, a search is being carried out at the location in portugal. and to the investment, the icons give any concrete information on the clues on which the search operation is faced by the people. they're not the tips that come from the accused, but as you can imagine, we don't start a search in portugal on the off chance and does is that there has to be a good reason post and we have one be all i ask for your understanding though because i can't disclose it here for tactical reasons. the police come to side months after my cons disappearance. but divers only find animal remains there,

hoping this new search results in a breakthrough. in the case our political correspondence. i mean young, he gave me an update on the progress of the investigation as well. it's hard to say that to the soldiers are keeping pretty tight lipped brent, but it would seem that 16 years off the disappearance at ortiz ha, still searching for the body of madeline mccann and that german prosecute has upset in the past that they believe that she is dead, although that party has never been founded. of course that have been suggestions from time to time that she might still be alive. but from the pictures we sold today, from the shore of this reservoir and southern port, you go uh, jam and add to the police and portuguese police with some bridges. police also in attendance, searching through the scrub on the actual line with sticks and from the pictures it

looked as if they were focusing on some particular areas. so it may be that among back to evidence that the prosecutor referred to that or among those hints is at least an indication of where they should search. and we do know that the gym and investigation is what's prompted this specific search today. and we've also heard that it will continue on wednesday for a 2nd day as well. yeah, the, the german investigation there is a german link that has to do with, with a possible suspect. remind us of, of what we do know about the suspect. yeah, christian b is he's identified, he's a man in his mid forties and he's a convicted sex offender. he's in jail in germany for the right of a 72 year old woman import. you go back in 2005 and in the 2020 was identified by jim and prosecutors as

a suspect in the madeline mccann case. and since then, portuguese prosecutors have also named symbol there's never been charged. he denies any role in this case, but it's fair to say he does stand the keys of a number of other offences besides the one that he's already in jail, for a sex offences including against children. that he lived in portugal for a number of years. and was in the gulf region in southern 40 bill in 2007. when madeline mccann went missing the. but we understand that the prosecutors are in possession of a certain amount of other evidence they say. but they are also cautious. they say there are a lot of hints the point towards his involvement, but at the moment they don't have the full evidence to even charge him, let alone convicted. so we'll see if anything comes out of the search today. all right, dw, so i mean you have with the latest tonight,
