the the russians now patrol what used to be the eastern ukrainian city of buck moved to a bomb doubt. shell of a city as male ma scouts biggest battlefield victory since last summer. but bach mood is looking more and more like a win lose for the kremlin. for the past few days, fighters calling themselves the free. russia legion had watched attacks over the ukrainian border into russia itself. moscow calls them pro ukrainian militants. they could be ukrainians. russians or both. we don't know, but it does send a message that rushes war against ukraine may no longer be a one way invasion. i bring coughing berlin, this is the day the,
12:03 am
this is a key regina defeated. in fact, most is now implementing terry inspections. like i said, it's affiliated population. ukrainian nicely to unit invaded the territory of the russian federation to the situation here remains extremely tense. sabotage group has infiltrated out territory. ukrainians of demonstrating a much, much more sophisticated notion of how you find a political inside russia node. so it's no longer up to off to decide that to the people in belgrade. if they want to, they have to do something to free themselves from the permanent also coming up a washington's dangerous game with the global economy. debt ceiling talks remain deadlocked with just over a week ago, before the us runs out of money. i believe members of congress will on to stand
12:04 am
that this is, would impose a self imposed calamity on the united states and the world economy which of our viewers watching on cbs in the united states and to all of you around the world. welcome. we begin today with the invasion of russia for the past few days, fighters calling themselves the free russia legion have crossed the border from ukraine to watch attacks in russia's belgrade region. most scale calls the fighters have a tours backed by chief who have disguised themselves as russian police officers today. mosse gallery advised residents in belgrade to be on the lookout for law enforcement impostors, and to shoot without warning. now, it's impossible to verify russia's claims. we do know that the free russia legion, it's a volunteer unit that was created last year to enable russians oppose to the gremlins war to take up arms alongside ukrainians. that means belgrade could be
12:05 am
a new chapter in this more marked by russian on russian attacks. we have this report russia state media says this footage shows the off them off of fighting. and the belgrade region, officials claim that into separate attacks, houses and administrative buildings were damaged in the town. the furs of guests and grey bore on they've named ukrainian armed forces and said 10 people had been injured in the fighting with many others, leaving the area to the city of belgrade to remain calm. but it's gotten to claim that ukrainian drones had launched attacks on the border on monday and tuesday. that's the situation remains volatile. love it. so this is the ministry of defense of together with law enforcement agencies, continue clearing out the territory. so far you shouldn't return home with i'm addressing the residence of graver once the district for to we have temporarily one
12:06 am
moment thanks so that to the left, the homes used to win the fighting, broke out about 5 kilometers from rushes, bought it with you. crane, while ukraine has been preparing for counter offensive for months, keith denied any connection to the attack. videos posted by directional position groups, the liberty of russia leads, and the russian about a typical indicated they may be responsible. logics opportunities in time to put an end to the families dictatorship. spicy. but thank you to all those who support us, who send us donations on not 50 boards that citing explosives last year support for 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. and so the more or see if we get started with that to try to the crime and said thing, crash and angel distract attention from best mode, which russian forces claim to have captured often more than 9 months of fighting.
12:07 am
so what do we know about the russian volunteer corps and the free racial legion who have claimed responsibility for this attack in belgrade we asked jade glenn, a researcher in the war studies department at kings college on the the far an i think it's important to separate the 2 if i knew because the volunteer coal rasa. um, well the very solve, right, would be the correct time. they belong to a near nazi organizations and the they have nothing to do with the ukrainian on forces. how is it the russian lead to the russian free legion on that is said to be a part of the, you know, according to the narrative that is said to be a part of this. the foreign legion that fights within the training and on the force is made up of russians and apparently by the russians as well. and i think the selection very um i always slightly um,
12:08 am
was deliberately humorous um framing um from people like to highlight the yeah the residents. and that's the case communications advisor. um, suggest that quite clearly this is not gonna take hold on. exaggeration has grown out since the rest of the population of, of belgrade, which summer calling the belle grove people were people served public. and again, this week to, i'm not in especially it's up to one. but then that's going to has people's republic say, this is about sending a message. this is about sending a message that russia is not safe. that the will will come home to russians, you know, many of whom has been able to reduce a crate that lives on from, from the war in a way that katie has not being the case fee premiums to us as to people. that was james mickland. there from the more studies department of kings college london, where you're gardening officials tonight say that their troops are still holding
12:09 am
parts of bach, moved a day after russia claimed complete control of the head of the wagner mercenary group says that his forces will leave the city and expects them to be replaced by regular russian troops. wagner has lost an estimated 30000 fighters in what's military analysts describe beds. most scales, meat grinder approved store. whoever controls buck moods is in charge of the waste land. after 9 months of bloody street fighting and endless bombing, the east in ukrainian city has been turned into a mass graveyard. even the self proclaimed evicted his don't plan on staying after claiming to have taken buckboard on saturday, the head of russia's wagner mercenary group said his men would soon lease with an audio message. if guinea pig goshen said the russian defense ministry would have to replace his private soldiers by june 1st, if there was enough personnel,
12:10 am
he said rushes. thousands of generals could take the place. it's the latest insult, fired off by pretty goshen ad rushes, military leadership and internal power struggle against the backdrop of a very real war. tens of thousands of soldiers arrest admitted to have died on all sides in the fights of a bach. moved little infrastructure of value appears to remain west and military analysts say the battle of bach. mood has tied up the resources of both armies for months. now that the main fighting there appears to be over conflict is expected to flare up elsewhere along the front line. of my 1st gaps tonight is a military man through and through. mark can see and he is a retired colonel. he's served more than 30 years, but the us marines. he's also worked at the pentagon and it's now with the center for strategic and international studies in washington. he joins me tonight from arlington in northern virginia. currently, it's good to have you on the program. the battle over bach moved it became the
12:11 am
focal point of this more because political leaders in moscow and keep because they made it that way in terms of the strategy, what have soldiers, what did they've been fighting over? i mean, what is russia really one here? so well, i think i initially rusher was hoping to destroy the ukrainian forces in the don bus area said attack north and south of the city for a while. it looked like that might surround the ukrainians in the city. they failed to do that. then they switched to a straight on attack into the city, taking it block by block, but also in, during terrible casualties. they've taken most of the city and some of the outskirts still are in the ukrainian hands. but the russians have run out of military capability. they can't go any further in the battle of buckboard is essentially over. what do you have? buck moods? what if we find out one day the buck moved had been a distraction engineered by ukraine. would that diminish the russian victory at
12:12 am
all? well i'm not sure that really is a russian victory. although they've taken the city, it has no value. city has been destroyed as we just heard up. i think the ukrainians of had to defend the city because of 1st their troops being vulnerable but but then because of the psychological political dimension that the city i take taken on, but i think that the ukrainians have held on. and now we're getting ready to move to a new phase, which will be the ukranian counter offensive. observers have estimated that about 30000 fighters from the wagner mercenary group. 30000 have died in this war, so many fighters lost in bach, moved that it's totally depleted. i want you to take a listen to what wagner is the leader had to say about that. take a list. would you look a while ago?
12:13 am
yes, there is no exhaust jeanette wagner. if you look at more than $10000.00 personnel come to us every month, so i usually meet wagner will decide for itself whether it fights outside the territory of off mode. right. did it dirty about the annual nursing form? the united states of america are about to do not able to get them to the bottom. you know, with the union, the stuff that i've made to colonel, he's saying they're 10000 new recruits every month. we're in the world is wagner. finding that many ment i, i don't that, that to get a get many men now. they recruited wiley before, i mean, they offered a more money. of course, they were created in the prisons, but they recruited, you know, people that might not otherwise be willing to go into the regular armed forces to more able to get a very large force that force has been pretty much exhausted. and precautions has been talking about pulling them out of blackboard for several weeks now. that's not
12:14 am
an indication of strength. that's an indication of exhaustion. what do you make of the head of wagner being so vocal in his criticism of the war, russian were policies crim, brenda, we know that any criticism of the boy is considered a criticism of flattery approaching. we know we're criticisms of what am i putting can lead to what did you make of this? a precaution is a populist, he has railed against the incompetent generals. you. we've heard that on the clip just played. he has complained about the russian tactics. we watched the strategy when they were making progress, when the doctor was winning in buckboard, it looks like precautions might use this as a way to get into the government. maybe even take over the ministry of defense. there was a lot of talk about him being an alternative to talk as fee that you know, with values failure, right? but mood and exhaustion with forces. you know, he is now in the secondary. so if we look beyond a bach moved to the reports of,
12:15 am
of these rare attacks across the border in russia, russia, it has the keys, the crane of being behind this. we know that russians could be involved if it is the case. and we did this has to be a psychological below for vladimir improved in the message being that the home land is no longer completely secure. would you agree? i think that there is surely that elements i think that the ukrainians are trying to do 2 things. and a one is the propaganda value of making the russians feeling insecure, making the point that they are able to recruit russians just didn't russians to fight against me. putting, i think, is also a military aspect to this. that is, that they're forcing the russians to defend more of their borders. this is an area that has not seen much fighting since april. and the russians may have to pull
12:16 am
forces back that may make them less prepared for the ukrainian counter offensive. and do you think that was bought most now in the past it will ukrainian forces, will they be able to focus now on discount or offensive? i mean, are we about to see serious, serious, you know, fireworks display a well up servers have been expecting that for several weeks now? that's right. yeah. with park moved quiet. certainly the ukrainians are able to focus on a counter offensive. but i don't think that i believe has been distracting them excessively. i think that ukraine has been waiting to get more equipment waiting to get more of a training, making sure that its forces were truly ready before they launched a counter offensive. and before we run out of time that we just ask you about these f 16 fighter jets, you know, we've got news that several european countries allies of ukraine watching,
12:17 am
delivered those jets to ukraine. the united states has agreed to train ukrainian pilots to fly these by the jets. will this be a game changer or the game changer in this more? unfortunately, no, there is no game changers in this war. that succeeds are going to take quite a while to get to ukraine. estimates cope range from 6 months to a year or even more. they won't be part of discount or offensive. they'll be a useful capability, particularly for air defense. but there are no silver bullets. this is going to be a long, tough war. it's going to be war one on the ground. bit by bit retired colonel market cancer, and we appreciate your time in your valuable analysis tonight. thank you. thanks for having me on the show we're going on. we still have some disagreements, but i think we may be able to get where we have to go. we've had
12:18 am
a lot of discussions, but nothing's a good. okay. dangerous to trigger a job, killing recessive, several 1st millions of everyday americans. i see where the framework can be. we just got to have people who are willing to get to that point. we both know we have a significant response on july crucial talks still on going in washington to raise the us debt ceiling. its been a long recurring drum in us politics. every year congress has the green light, the extra borrowing needed to pay the countries bills. this year, again, negotiations between president biden and house speaker kevin mccarthy look set to go down to the wire. a june 1st, the deadline is rapidly approaching and without a deal, the world's biggest economy has little more than a week before it runs out of cash. the stand off has markets worried about a potentially catastrophic debt default that would send shuck, wakes throughout the entire global income or
12:19 am
correspondence because she is following this us debt stand off forrest in washington. and i know this is a great assignment for you and the cal ever, but least we're talking about money tonight. that ceiling talks. we know that resumed on tuesday talk, talk us through the 2 positions here. what does mccarthy want? what does the president bide? want us well present bite and once he wants to it, i have to put it in the past. is that the raising of the debt ceiling remains something sacrosanct that is not subject to negotiations and factually. that's exactly what happened though we seen and the coffee, the speaker of the house actually put together a bill that cools for of pretty much unraveling of some of the key legislation that into bite and has been able to pos that includes student and debt forgiveness. and that includes making, it's a honda, that's what the republicans want to do. it for
12:20 am
a certain age brackets to get food stamps, to actually get support from the government on spend cobit money is not supposed to be used anywhere else, and they're supposed to be significant spending cuts in the future. that's what the and the republicans have put on the table and they pretty much have to bind in a corner because he has already crossed his line. having said that, he wouldn't negotiate on the very fact of raising the debt soothing and yet that's exactly what he did on monday today, we saw more talks going on and what we've heard from kevin mccarthy, the speaker of the house, is that the nowhere near an agreement, so we're going to be talking about this a lot more of the coming days. so to, let's talk a bit about what is at risk here. um 1st, what would a debt default mean for the united states? when you ask economists this, they say look, isn't it a week of limbo of,
12:21 am
of codes cost as much as one and a half 1000000 jobs here in the united states. so these are catastrophic effects. and if you then ask economists who are looking at this world, why they say that would be ripple effects and that would be felt pretty much everywhere. this one has to bear in mind. these state bones taken from the united states. a scene is something as a financial safe haven when everything else fails, that's what global investors put the money into because one basic rule is the us never default on its debt. and this will allow to um, to its own constitution. and yet we see this, these type roku negotiations that it's almost like talking about someone potentially pressing an economic nuclear button. and if you know, if they find that agreement as a within the past, nothing happens. and if something happens, it's so significant people tell us all of us. yeah, i mean, it would be a, a global economic disaster as well. right?
12:22 am
it was, but nobody's really willing to quantify this. and they say that this could have really a devastating effect. certainly on the global government phone markets, a ripple effect would be felt absolutely everywhere costing millions of jobs around the globe. and people could go hungry because of this and that. but nobody, you know, you see experts struggling to solve this thing. we just don't know exactly what would happen and that's pretty scary stuff. it is in because you know, you say these us treasury bonds. consider the satanist investment that there is because the us is seen is this reliable durable walk. but the fact that we are here discussing a possible debt default does that diminish the standing of those treasury bonds and the us economy as a whole. some fun not, but something very interesting has happened over the past couple of weeks. first of all, we saw these bones soaring to new heights. and,
12:23 am
and then early this beginning of this week, they stoled somewhat of patricky for the 6 month ones. they actually were, you know, site went down and it's almost like there's not just a pause here in washington with, you know, the administration people on the hill wondering 12. what if it, you know, if, if it's less than in the past, what if this actually doesn't just go down to the wire? this actually goes off the rails and that is making mock is not just true yet, but you do come almost to the sink at the what if question, which nobody wants to go near in the past. let's talk through politics for a moment. the presidential election is next year that the president is always held responsible for the economy, whether it's good, whether it's bad bite and he wouldn't be blamed for a debt default by republicans or republicans in congress. are they willing to let the us default thinking that this is a sure fire way to win back the white house in 2024?
12:24 am
so i just simply cannot answer this question right now because nobody said nobody, if you asked them on the hill, says yes, the country should default on its debt. but what i kind of you tell you is that according to pulling that's done, that both sides a lot more concerned. both democrats and republicans that the account could give away too much. and that's a very bad place to be if you need concessions from the other side. and vitamins approval ratings are pushing though this is the last thing he needs, but also the republicans would not be able to go on skate. this is a joint responsibility. but with the speak of the house, kevin mccarthy and you know, any one member of his house could top of him. so he's also under maximum pressure just to survive this very issue. and so is due by his credibility. yeah. and if they let a default happen, no 1 may have anything to give away. because the governor with the laser and i from washington mckayla, thank you. a new
