the, the reduced to rubble over the past 9 months, the former assault mining town was turned into a battlefield when that's all the bloodiest infantry fighting since world war 2 and russia's brutal assaults on the eastern ukrainian city. it was wagner and mercenaries who took the lead. now the head of the private army says, his work there is done. the battle is one on the transfer of the city to russia's. regular forces has begun, but ukraine claims their defences are holding on and the pockets of resistance still persist. i'm gonna go further chamberlain and this is the day the we're the, we're withdrawing units from back move. now 5 am on
2:03 am
may 25th. why? we have to strike day and night to try to pierce the russian defense dog. your why your, if the russian military has difficulties. then of course those who played a major role in capturing development. we remain here in bucks a month with a truck. most of all the state destroyed, but they haven't taken also on the day, the republican rates for us president, randa santa is underwhelmed with a glitchy campaign launch on twitter. can the new florida man succeeds by stoking the culture wars? and in florida, we say we're the state where work goes to die. you know, as president, i'm going to make sure woke ideology, ends up in the dustbin of history, to our viewers around the world. welcome to the show,
2:04 am
a city and ruins. thousands of fighters killed now rushes, wagner and mercenary, grew claims. the battle for buck note is over, at least for them. the head of the private army says his troops are withdrawn from the ukrainian city and handing over their positions to the russian military. wagner mercenaries claim full control of the eastern ukrainian city on saturday. and what has been the longest battle of the war? keith, to nice bescedy as paul brushed his medicine, regroup, wagner, sites, working, buck, mood is done. the city has been decimated by the longest running and bloody a special in russia's war and ukraine, wagner. his later you have gave me precaution, says he's vices will leave by june 1st today, and by the, the way, transferring positions, munitions, to the military. everything including military rations more. yes or what if the military are in a tough situation? of course, we're leaving those who played
2:05 am
a crucial part in capturing backwoods. the baltimore cave has confirmed that wagner fights is a handing over the positions in the cities outskirts to russian troops. but they said the most and re group remains in the city center on saturday for goes and claimed full control. in fact, moods, ukrainian troops deny this. they say they're still holding ground in the city, south west, and some of those we have to strike day and night to try to pass the russian defences in the north of back moats. a nearby suffice the fact mood has lasted 9 months for goshen says 20000 wagner. troops have been killed. but that feeling may be much higher. this is not the 1st time wagner is millionaire or not, has threatened to pull out of the city. and he has frequently accused russia's military leaders of incompetence. provisions of power and success in black moods
2:06 am
now enhances his pow wow. both as an ally of russian presidents, letting me a person and as a leader in the ongoing war. the west response to russia's invasion of ukraine is focused on new weapons and training for ukraine in forces, securing munition supplies and punitive sanctions. there seems to be consensus. the current climate does not allow and negotiated and to the finding results president losing the silvo backs to differ. he's forcing for peace talks and has proposed to act as a mediator themselves. he brought that message to the g 7 summit in japan last weekend, and hope to convey it to ukraine's president bullet and re zalinski in person. but the landscape doesn't turn off to a schedule. meeting later said he was upset about the training and leaders or parent this interest and results possession hopefully sweep, fee of you. it is only possible to discuss peace when the when's the lensky and
2:07 am
fruits and wants to discuss pace web to see if it is not possible to build a proposal during war time. ok, right. okay. well, we won't use for the war to stop. first bible's see a text to stop you both. and we will use dialog fonda negotiated way out for ukraine and for russia, bye to cody, but a whole so far we can now bring in all of us struggle. he's a political analyst and professor at the school of international relations in south paula and with their struggle. welcome back to the w. now i want to ask you right away, is the west under estimating louis capacity to mediate as well. brazil certainly believes it does because i think there's and often overlooked belief in brazil that the country has a unique contribution to make to the global conversation. but in general, i would say that due to the time, somewhat controversial commons made by results president particularly arguing that
2:08 am
ukraine is as much to blame for the war as russia. it seems to me that neither ukraine nor the west would accept result at this stage as a legitimate intermediary. however, i think a present life libby, it's shown that he would like to prioritize this issue. so i think in the coming weeks and months, we will certainly hear more from the brazilian president about this issue. we're controversial but also contradictory at times. can you explain one results stance on ukraine and really is ok? well brazil would like to be neutral and non aligned. the big question is, what does that actually mean in the case of the war? ukraine? i mean what, brazil, as trying to do is to preserve ties to both sides. after all, russia is an important provider of fertilizers to brazil, which is hugely important to its audrey business. in addition, there is quite
2:09 am
a profound anti americanism, also in parts of the governing coalition. in brazil, whether it's frequent uh, criticism of sort of western hyper courtesy, etc. people asking why the whole world needs store, impose things against russia while in other cases of violations of uh, sovereignty of other countries, the same reaction hasn't taken place. so, you know, so i think that the, the attempt has been made to, to kind of project brazil as impartial, but in the, in particularly considering that uh for a rush just for administer lover off. it has recently been to buzz india and he hasn't been criticized that he was actually quite at ease. i think the overall perception is the result position is somewhat closer to russia than it is to that of ukraine. that brazil does to be fair, have a fairly strong track record when it comes to diplomacy. this one is that you'll
2:10 am
agree with me on that one a tough not to crack. what with little as approach to put in and this conflict be as well. the certainly, as i said, prioritizes this, which is a, somewhat of a surprise because, i mean, there's lots of challenges in latin america as well on wednesday, little organize a regional summit with south american presidents. lots of trouble are here. domestic problems in, in, in, in peru and ecuador for phone prices in been as well, a refugee crisis in central america. so there's lots of issues that result could actually engage on. but i think there's a bit of a sense that lula and his diplomatic advisor uh, so moving preferred to engage on the global stage rather than the regional stage. and now i think we'll have to wait and see a bit, a lot will depend on domestic stability in brazil because unless looking the sort of rely on a stable political situation at home,
2:11 am
he won't have that much time to continue engaging. because if you really want to mediate that may involve shuttle diplomacy, brazil is quite far from russia and ukraine. so that may involve the president frequently visiting moscow and in cuba of so i think it probably won't be brazil alone. and that's why i think the president has emphasized the need to engage a larger amount of countries like turkey, perhaps, or india. so i think that will be a bit the idea. busy but there is an acknowledgment on the part of brazil that this will be a long term process and not something that can be sold very quickly. yeah, i want to get back to something you mentioned earlier. this double standard as it is perceived in brazil. how much does this view echo, that of other countries in the global south, you know, other countries that might be feeling patronized by the us and its allies? i think the results position is uh, not particularly unique in the global south. in fact, i think it is pretty much align with much of america or africa where there is
2:12 am
a sense of that. so, you know, part of the part of the negative consequences are actually due to the western sanctions rather than the war itself. and where some people ask, you know, why did nobody impose sanctions against the united states when they related to iraq and 2003 and all these kinds of conversations? i think a quite prevalent and in that sense, i think it does also show that zalinski is message hasn't resonated in the global south as well as it does in europe in united states. and part of the reason is that the ukraine of diplomacy is very limited when it comes to manpower. yeah, we're, well, uh, you know, russian diploma is quite present the roof. you embassies of ukraine in the global. so we'll have to leave it there. otherwise struggle with the school of international relations and sell. paula, thank you so much for your time. thank you.
2:13 am
after much anticipation, randa santos announced his presidential bid on wednesday, and it felt a bit like a zoomed call at the beginning of the pandemic glitches crashes muted like the sand . as twitter campaign launch headed all, it was a rocky star to what is likely to be an uphill battle for the florida governor. even though de santis is trumps. strongest challenge or for the republican nomination is trailing the former president, and the polls by 30 percent in writing the ship requires restoring sanity to our society. this is the slick come pay not wrong. desantis wants people to see. i'm ron de santis and i'm running for president to lead our rate. americans come back. but the florida a governor, made his actual presidential campaign launch on the social media platform, twitter that's involved a half hour delay due to technical issues tonight. and police introduce to
2:14 am
individuals who have done more solution like the sound costs out to average $3.00 documents of freedom and is when you were put his money will just change the store, change or without the full 120000 listen is that it's pete desantis launch was over all the underwhelming, particularly for a mine who's made his political career by successfully quoting the right. our bottom line is we do not surrender to the wealth mob. florida is where woke goes to die. this is a republican heavy weight who stepped up a number of wins folds of right. those include defined on discussing gender identity on sexual orientation in schools in florida. that's meant to use president to page has already prevents protests including in
2:15 am
miami. but it's this mine who is defense is his biggest hurdle to securing the republican candidacy. a oh show the former us president donald trump. miami still has doubled with the support of defenses on the plane. and while they used to be allies, that's certainly not now will never have an income tax. ok, so remember this is rhonda psych there's to do. i have a of the sectors, the sanctimonious to say 46 governor. it will now be up to the florida governor to convince the republicans that he's the man they can rely on to win the white house duties of governor and w. as washington correspondent mikaela group now has more and mckayla. does he have a stroke of campbell on twitter and ilan mosque and, and doesn't seem to have worked out what's been the reaction or rather the fall out? or well, it didn't work out for one desantis,
2:16 am
but doesn't mean that didn't work out for you don't last because everybody is talking about it. and you know, knock was very quick to invite other presidential hopefuls to come on to twitter as well. and him talking to them, so and run de santis though in what was billed as an unscripted interview. basically suggesting that other interviews are generally scripted, which simply isn't true certainly is that for though it's developed and he actually needs a bit of script thing. he comes off pretty well in those a promo videos of but he's not seen as someone who's protecting possible. so instead of him being able to have a ground speeds or block ground declaration, he opted for audio only at that simply backfired technically suddenly on him. and we had a lot of rhetoric we've had before in his speeches. this didn't work out for him, toward drawing ridicule from relate across the board, he in dc and across the country with a great expectation that he will make good on this when he goes in towards those early primary states beginning over the next week. i think that's what we will then
2:17 am
look back at as his real declaration of what he actually aims to take into this campaign. rather than just being the one who sounds trump past won't use the words trump and except from basically stating that he can out trump, trump, and know in as many words has those policies that could well back fire on him for the key when it comes to the whole boston question when it comes to fire arms, these are no issues that he can really school with in terms of popularity across the country, although he may well do in florida. yeah, and let's talk about our trumping trump because the sanchez has obviously taken many less the street out of the trunk playbook. he's never actually been up against the former president though to think he can beat trump at his own game. it doesn't look like it when you see both in front of a crowd and rhonda. santa simply doesn't cut it, but there are 2 important factors. first of all, donald trump may get we cut,
2:18 am
although he's way ahead in the polls, but he does face another, an open legal issue still that gets granted that's and special investigation into january 6. that still isn't result. we may see him in the quote once again of a hoss money payments early next year, and back for ready for sol. so he may be able to gain some ground that we saw in the gubernatorial race. went on desantis, one, him lining up more than $200000000.00. and we know that a lot of big money is going to get lined up against donald trump in the republican camp. and they will be looking out for the most likely can to get there regardless of what other quotes things he has or he see. but there is no see at this moment in time. that still is wrong. desantis with everybody else in the single digits when it comes to pulling monks republicans so that he can pull the cash in on. in other developments today, one of the ring leaders of the january 6 attack on the capital was sentenced to 18
2:19 am
years in prison. of capers founder steward roads was convicted of seditious conspiracy. after being found guilty of orchestrating a violent plot to overturn the 2020 election and keep donald trump in power. road sentence is the longest handed down so far among hundreds of january 6 cases. mikaela, how significant is this and how much of it could rub off on donald trump? it is very significant also another member of that group cutting next was sentenced to 12 years in prison. and the student rose actually didn't physically do anything . and that's also what his defense took. his team said it was only was they said that led to this sentence, and they will certainly be challenging this in port. and, but at the same time, it shows that there was somebody who actually was in vermont and who was described by the judge is still being a danger to democracy in the united states. so that is very significant indeed,
2:20 am
particularly if a line can be drawn to donald trump, he who may still face himself and it really is implicated in this. so that is still something that was feeding into his campaign, potentially had a coupon washington. many thanks and there are affairs that a polarizing collection will further inflame the culture war in the us this week, the department of homeland security warrant of a rise in right wing terrorism. the potential targets including the l g b, t q community as well as racial and ethnic minorities. now, while the debate over gun controls remains deadlocked in washington, one organization says the best protection for vulnerable groups to give them guns as well. the w's in east of caught up with them. a rob roy's nose has guns inside and out. this is for the revolver. that's 9 millimeter. pretty standard. 45 days for the he's a certified hand gun instructor, but not what you might call
2:21 am
a typical one. he isn't a police officer, he's not in the military, and he doesn't vote republican. he's a member of the socialist rifle association. and he knows his politics may be a bit out of place here at this rural shooting range in maryland. when he talks about the training he offers, he lowers his voice. so for what we're doing, the target group is to provide a safe space for trans, um, queer people of color and other marginalized groups to get this training. you know, teaching today just target practice with fellow as are a member of eric to keep in form in the parking lot of prejudice is confirmed. a bumper sticker with an anti translator rabbit. i want to make sure that like the very 1st back against this kind of like trans people have a right to live. the socialist rifle association was formed in 2017
2:22 am
and now claims several 1000 members. a handful of the maryland's chapters members have come out to this monthly picnic. they say they're nothing like a right wing militia. the one thing they do have in common is the belief that done this will make them safer. so i bought my, um, i bought my 1st gun uh was a shot gun 10 days after january 6th. i was terrified that you know, there's going to be like an armed militia at the grocery store and like, my child is non binary. they hear me say they them or whatever, and you know, so they just just total like i, you know, this essence of paranoia. so i was raised to it and i sort of recently came out as friends and both of those aspects. my identities put me as like a higher risk for political violence. when you hear about it so much it feels like, sooner or later it will get to you. and you don't want to be in
2:23 am
a position where you don't see it. perhaps surprisingly, there aren't any weapons at the picnic, but there are turn, it gets and wound packing. after the barbecue, rob teaches a 1st aid course called stop the bleed. stop right there. look for blowing your hands. there are no illusions here that carrying a firearm makes you completely invincible. pressure in the us and overwhelming majority of those who lean left politically support, stricter gun laws and are less than half as likely to own firearms as those who lean right. but at this public outreach event in a park in washington dc, the socialist rifle association finds in audience for its message that there is an arms race in this country, whether you like it or not. and the right wing is winning by a long shot. or for a port by my colleague, i'm in essence, who joins me in the studio. i mean, if i'm honest, this is quite disheartening. i mean, can you tell us
2:24 am
a little more about the socio political climate that makes people invalid or both communities resort to guns for their own protection because obviously they don't feel protected by the authority. certainly. certainly. yeah, i sense a sense of hopelessness there. um and you know, the department of homeland security just came out with a report yesterday actually outlining that the new terrorist threatened the us right now is from extreme is violence specifically right when violence. here's what they said in this bulletin, the likely targets a potential violence in the us, including critical infrastructure, are members of the eligibility to i, a community schools, racial and ethnic minorities and government facilities and personnel, including law enforcement and also the threat against law enforcement is now coming from the right wing, not just the left wing like we saw with the black panthers and things like this in the sixties and seventies. so this definitely a climates here that's different from when i was a kids, you know, growing up left wing and gun ownership just did not go together. but i think, you know, since the 2020 elections this kind of portal or ization the united states,
2:25 am
then culminating in the generally 6 riots at the capital building a storming of the capital. that was a watershed moment for a lot of people and the political left when they saw this uh, interruption of violence from the right wing. and i think that stuck with a lot of people. you saw one of these guys in my report saying that that he literally went out a few days afterwards and bought a shot gun because his kid i didn't applies as non pioneer and he was worried about protecting his own family. so this idea of protecting your own family on the, on the left, when it's an argument though that the, that the gun lobby has used for a really long time. right? it takes a good guy with a gun to take down a bad guy with a gun. how surprised worried you see that on the left of the political spectrum? right, this is, is kind of new to this generation. now you haven't seen this since previous errors and us history. now this is not a surprising to historian, has looked at the us gun violence has existed above the left and the right. you had union members, radical socialists union members in the thirty's, carrying weapons to defend themselves. he had the black panther movement in the
2:26 am
sixties and seventies army themselves against police. that was very product, provocative at the time. but this is pretty new. this idea that the left people eligibility numbers, it's very new that the they would take up arms to defend themselves. so yeah, i think that i haven't heard this argument coming from the left wing and in my lifetime. but one, the difference that i would highlight is not this sense of like a hero who's at a shopping mall and saves everybody from an attack that didn't exist in this group . but i talked to, it was more the idea of that. if i'm trends and i am specifically personally at target for right wing hate crimes, then it's more about protecting myself against these crimes. it's heartbreaking really. and the truth is quite the opposite. isn't that it's more guns, don't mean the more safety? that's right. statistically it's, it's insignificant. you know, do you have these a horrible attacks from the right wing in the us, this horrible bloodshed and violent, but it doesn't make individuals typically more likely to die from gun violence,
2:27 am
politically motivated gun violence. it's still just a small percentage of a gun related deaths. but what is interesting is you know that, that this idea exists that, that they have to do that. um, so yeah, i think going back to the idea that yeah, that's it. owning a gun will make it safer on this to study after study shows. this is simply not true that it was one from philadelphia that said possessing a firearm. it was done over a year cuz there's a fire makes you 4 times more likely internet salt to die from that assault. and if you had a chance to defend yourself, meaning if you could actually draw your gun in, send yourself, then you are 5.5 times more likely to die. so even the idea of like being aware of somebody attacking with a gun, having a gun yourself, you are more and more likely the more armed you are essentially to die in an attack . how many you said thank you so much. i and that's our time. but make sure to stay informed, stay engaged and stay in touch. you can follow us on twitter and go to our website
2:28 am
. that's data we compton you some to watch the, to the point strong opinion, clear positions, international perspective, you kind of set to receive more munition from new to members in yet another effort to counter the russian and wage. and after going back down, it's now ukraine will receive 5 digits on to the point we ask as 6 themes for you
