the, the russians now patrol what used to be the eastern ukrainian city of buck moved a bomb down the 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 cough and berlin. this is the day the

. this is a key regime to see to didn't talk much is now implementing terry inspections. like i said, it's affiliated population. ukrainian nicely to unit invited the territory of the russian federation to the situation. he remains extremely tense. a sabotage group has infiltrated out territory. the premiums and demonstrating a much, much more sophisticated notion of how you can find a political inside russia node. so it's no longer up to off to decide, but to the people in belgrade, if they want to, they have to do something to free themselves from the permanent i'll say coming up a washington's dangerous game with the global economy. debt ceiling talks remain deadlocked with just over a week to go before the us runs out of money. i believe members of congress will. i

understand 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, into 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 battle good or region. most scale calls the fighters sabot tours, backed by chief who have disguised themselves as russian police officers. today, most 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 opposed to the kremlin

war to take up arms alongside ukrainians. that means belgrade could be a new chapter in this more marked by russian on russian attacks. we have this report, rush of state media says this potentially shows the off them off of fighting. and the belgrade region officials claim the into separate attacks, houses, and administer the buildings were damaged in the town. the furs of guests and grey bore on they've named do crating on forces and said 10 people have been injured in the fighting with many others, leaving the area to the city of belgrade. remain calm, but it's gotten to claim that ukraine and drones had launched attacks on the border on monday and tuesday. that's the situation remain follow the title of it's. this is the ministry of defense of together with law enforcement agencies. continue clearing out the territory so far, you shouldn't return homes and the i'm addressing the residents of graver once the

district for kids who have temporarily who move and thanks so that to the left, their homes used to with 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's amazing 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 but to see if we get started with that to try to the crime and said, then crash and angel distract attention from best modes,

which russian forces claim to have captured often more than 9 months of fighting. so what do we know about the russian volunteer corps and the free russia 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 any, because the volunteer call a rasa. um, well, the very solve right, would be the correct time. they belong to a near nazi organizations and they have nothing to do with the ukrainian on forces. how is that 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 sort

of very um, i always slightly um, 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, um, quite clearly this is not going to 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 real complex i. 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 worst studies department of teens college london were ukrainian officials tonight say that their troops are still holding parts of

bark. 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 the, what terry analysts describe as 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 back and put on saturday. the head of russia's wagner mercenary group, said his men would soon lease. well with an order your message. you have any precautions said the russian defense ministry would have to replace his private soldiers by june. first. if there weren't enough personnel, he said rushes,

thousands of generals could take the place. it's the latest insult, fired off by pretty goshen at russia's 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 bock 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 gifts tonight is a military man through and through. mark can't see any is a retired colonel. he's served more than 30 years with the us marines. he's also worked at the pentagon and it's now with the center for a strategic and international studies in washington. he joins me tonight from arlington and northern virginia. currently, it's good to have you on the program. the battle over bach moved it became the

focal point of this more because political leaders in moscow and keep because they made it that way in terms of strategy, what have soldiers, what do 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 a block by block, but also in, during terrible casualties they take and 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 all? well, i'm not sure that really is a rush of 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 a take taken on, but i think that they 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 which you look i was getting it. there is no exhaustion at wagner. if you

look at more than $10000.00 personnel come to us every month, miss wagner will decide for itself whether it fights outside the territory of off mode. right, did it and will nothing for them the united states of america are about to do not able to get to the bottom, you know, with the on the stuff that made it to colonel. he's saying there $10000.00 new recruits every month. we're in the world, is wagner, finding that many, many i dealt with the, getting that many, many now they recruited wiley before, i mean, they offered a more money. of course, they were created in the prisons they recruited, you know, people that might not otherwise be willing to go into the regular i'm forces, then we're able to get a very large force that force has been pretty much exhausted. and promotion has been talking about pulling them out of blackboard for several weeks now. that's not

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 more rushing more policies, the kremlin, that we know that any criticism of the boy is considered a criticism, have led to my food and 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 bucket 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, of these rare attacks across the border in russia. russia has the keys ukraine of being behind this. we know that russians could be involved if it is the case. and we did this have to be a psychological below for vladimir approach and 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 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 you credit and 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 pocketbook 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 collar 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,

delivered those jets to ukraine. the united states has agreed to train, new, creating and pilots to fly these spite of 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. estimate scope range from 6 months to a year is and more, they won't be part of discount or offensive. so 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 chance, and we appreciate your time and your valuable analysis tonight. thank you. thanks for having me on the show. so 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

a lot of discussions which nothing's agreed. okay. dangerous will trigger a job showing recessive that will 1st millions of everyday americans. i see where the framework can be. you just gotta have people who are willing to get to that point. we both know we have a significant response which i crusoe 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 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

correspondence because she is following this us debt stand off forced in washington . and i know this is a great assignment for you and mikael, ever, but at least we're talking about money tonight. debt ceiling talks, we know that resumed on tuesday, talk, talk us through the 2 positions here. what does mccarthy want? what is 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 pass that includes student and debt forgiveness. and that includes making, it's a honda, that's what the republicans want to do. it for

a certain age brackets to get food stamps to actually get support from the government on spend cove of 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, 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. first, 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,

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. what 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 well within the past, nothing happens. and if something happens is so significant people tell us all of us. yeah, i mean, it would be a, a global economic disaster as well. right?

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 here. you see experts shrugging this all the same. we just don't know exactly what would happen and that's pretty scary stuff. it is in because you didn't, you say these us treasury bonds considered the safest investment that there is because the us is seen if 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. so far not, but something very interesting has happened over the past couple of weeks. first of all, we sold these bones soaring to new heights. and,

and then early this beginning of this week, they stoled somewhat patricky for the 6 month ones. they actually were, you know, slight, 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 mach is not true yet, but you do come almost to the sink at the what if question, which nobody wants to go near in the past, it starts the politics for a moment. the presidential election is next year that the president is always feel responsible for the economy, whether it's good, whether it's bad bite and he would 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?

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 violence 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 would 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 but the latest not from washington. mckayla, thank you. a new

lead and a long running case police investigating the disappearance of madeline. mccann have searched a reservoir in portugal. the british toddler with missing in that country well on a family vacation back in 2007, the case triggered a global man hot and generated shared media attention. 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 50 kilometers from the resort where mccann went to missing. madeline was 3 when she vanished. what on holidays with her family, and prior to that, lucian, despite an international search, she's never been find this location was allegedly frequented by the main suspect as he's been named as christian be, 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 on does is that there has to be a good reason. and we have one bill. 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 unable it remains there, hoping this new search results in a breakthrough in the case. and

finally, the world's 1st in double above any amputee to climb mount everest. he's received a hero's welcome on his return home, hundreds of supporters greeted harvey food in my gar, said cat man, do airport. he conquered the world's tallest mountain. after helping to overturn a law banning amputees from attempting the clause, the nef alea's national lost both of his legs while serving with the british army in afghanistan is promised to spend the rest of his life helping people with disabilities. and i think, i mean, why not mount everest does just a a well, the day is almost done. the conversation continues online. you'll find this on twitter either at the w news. you can follow me on twitter and brent golf tv. and remember whatever happens between now and then tomorrow is another day to see then if the
