convince ukraine and russia, the whole piece talk and the greek coast guard is under pressure to explain it's actions for a boat carrying migrants thinking the mediterranean, at least $500.00 people are presumed to drowned, and what's being called a preventable tragedy. the hello, i'm clear. richardson, a warm welcome to the show. russian president vladimir putin has announced the arrival of the 1st nuclear warheads in bella ruth, and said that more would follow. speaking at an economic form in saint petersburg on friday, hooton's at the move was meant as a deterrence to quote, those who are thinking of inflicting a strategic defeat on russia. but he remains unclear about his willingness to use them. here's what put and have to say in his own words, baseboards, the one you don't,

the use of nuclear weapons is suddenly c investigate possible. yeah, i see if there was a russia, this is possible if there is a threat to taught territorial integrity and independence and serenity when you are the existence of the russian states. nuclear weapons are created in order to ensure security, in the broadest sense of the word to ensure the existence of the russian state. but we fast, they do not have such a need. and secondly, the very fact reasoning on this topic already reduces the possibility of lowering the threshold. so the use of that, what google putting me, you know, we have most such weapons and nights countries they know that they keep on inducing us to begin talk. so may have induction or to post a connection or why put in the 90s? i'm not familiar with the mirror. that's bringing dw russia. analysts calls and seen agger for more causes here on friday, put unclaimed. russia hasn't stationed a 1st batch of tactical nuclear weapons in belarus. is there evidence of this has

actually happened as well? i suppose that it happens and i think it is indeed the 1st batch uh bought uh, also a few days ago putting expended on the topic and said, uh that full deployment will only happen when all the facilities from storage are ready. that is an important vocation. that means that probably it will take quite some time and probably of it's just going to be this 1st batch that it was designed as a p r. exercise is a threat, but no more than that. so we'll wait and see, but definitely something is deployed. put some cam would be kind of be uh no, so foolish as to not know that it's being monitored by the us. but there is one important thing. uh, these weapons are very tricky. um, the deliberate systems i use, actually ms. ailes that'd be used to use,

so you can arm them with both conventional and nuclear warheads and this creates a confusion. you never know what is actually being deployed into what is being rented. so it is a bit of a trade or something else. i'd like to hear your thoughts on uh, we heard of food and they're claiming that russia has more tactical nuclear weapons . then nato is. is that the case? well, that's the case when put in is actually telling the truth. yes, russia has about 2000 of such a such weapons and actually it is according to different assessments, a 10 times more than the us has that is the age that treasure has over, they told. and this is why put in his writing use of such weapons over and over again. okay, stay with us, konstantin. i'd 1st like to take a look now at a trip by a delegation of african leaders to view crane and russia. they're set to meet with putting today in an effort to convince them to negotiate peace. the delegation did

not have that much success on the 1st off with their mission, ukraine. its paying their respects african leaders visit food to the side of a legend atrocities against ukrainian civilians. but the hands of russian soldiers live, he's really messed up and we must protect lives printing and run the lives russian lives global lives. that's important to protect providers and focus on the develop. the visiting leaders also inspected, destroyed russian military equipment on display and central keys. a show of support from the south african presidents, serial rama, post as stress. it was not unqualified support. and the 1st one is that we're here to listen to listen both to prison zalinski and

tomorrow would have been listening to prison poor to do so with deep respect for the people of ukraine, which we have expressed to prison zalinski. we're going to also listen to prison put in with regards to how he sees that roads to piece from a post to also stress, the urgency of keeping green and fertilizer flowing out of ukraine as african countries struggle with price spikes and food in security. in the wake of the russian invasion, the delegations visit was interrupted by repeated rushing airstrikes on the capitol region, causing the landscape to question why the african leaders were headed to st. petersburg on saturday have more. uh, getting this sort of russian strikes attached to the fact that putting is not in control of his own army because they are striking us with missiles. now, assuming other nations have decided to visit the country that initiated the missile

strikes today. i'm not quite clear as to how logical this looks, lead them, but they are leaders of free countries. it's their choice. ha, be send us. so lensky has ruled out any peace talks while russian forces are still in ukraine. so constantine, as we heard brewton is about to meet african leaders in st. petersburg. what are we likely to see there? a well like presence the landscapes are in need of the african leaders were there to witness russian air strikes against the key of a well put him is shown what he thinks about their mission to russia. if he's not really in control, he's on me, that's probably even worse. but if he is, then that is a very interesting and demonstrative gesture. do come do provide a backdrop of my attempts to the casual to, to attract the global cells. but frankly,

i don't really care what they're going to propose because i'm going to continue the well, that's how i read to this message here. and at last i don't think that a presence of holes and of the african leaders that on this trip really understand what they're getting into. i'm absolutely 7 the clare that nothing will come out of this initiative as nothing came out of the chinese initiative. and your grade is not going to sit under its sovereignty and territorial integrity inputs and still continues to think that he can base, getting greens on both rushes demographic and voltage in this war. and finally, we're down 1st to grain and then the west that supports. okay, perhaps another point of interest here um, it's rather unusual to think food now for 2 days in a row, making public appearances. what do you think his intention might be and seeking this kind of public exposure at this point as well? indeed, 1st and foremost to, uh, this is very important for him. uh which russia continue to stage every year,

almost what would be an exception of crime. you attended them in that today's, when you had a presence of a major multi nationals and leaders of western world, fine for puts his attention. now it is another platform and another task uh, basically uh, attracting and convincing ancient effort towards his goal. now, the global cells, before that russia is in the right. so as you create isn't the wrong that it's all the fault of the west, and this is how it is designed. now, just look at the audience. and another thing that is important is that's put some stuff it's showing in public. if you days before starting with his conversation with the so called minutes for your front line. uh, i think that someone with his team probably best score i told him, you don't, you have to be show yourself to the public because that provokes also solve unpleasant conversations and rumors, and they think that's what put in his doing now. well, thank you very much. as always, that is, do you have these russia analysts, konstantin address it talk,

united nations official says the european union must do more to prevent tragedies in the mediterranean sea. as anger grows over the response to this, which was thinking of a boat carrying my friends. hundreds of people are thought to have been aboard from the vessel, the sink, and the creek coast guard is coming under increasing scrutiny for its role. meanwhile, greece has extended the search for survivors. many families haven't lost hope, of finding their loved ones, a life. searching for survivors of wednesday, shipwrecked, even with little hope of finding mo, most of those already rescued were transferred to this migrant camp in the athens on friday. meaning relatives desperate for news of missing loved ones have also headed up to the facility. my brother left libya last friday for 3 days. i can't find him. no one will tell me. we came here and they said,

give us your mobile phone number and we will call you hundreds of kilometers away in syria. this father is also waiting for on says about his missing sons was offered the seller. okay, we don't know anything about him. so one of the around a life i came that of unit. we don't know that greek authorities have arrested 9 egyptian survivors over the dissolves, to accusing them of involvement in people smuggling. but n g arrows and refugee groups have to criticize the coast guards response a coast called vessel, scroll to the visibly overcrowded boat for hours before it sank. officials said they couldn't intervene sooner because people on board refused help wanting to sail on to italy. but experts say the coast guard was legally required to help

passengers. so clearly at risk, greece is older than investigation into the tragedy which looks likely to be one of the deadliest ever in the mediterranean. and the united nations has condemned human rights violations, as fighting between sedans, army and a rifle paramilitary force enters it's 3rd month. more than 2000000 people have been displaced since the conflict broke out. in april. at least 2000 have been killed, including a prominent governor from the remote west are for region government for me. sub delilah bunker publicly accused students bet i'm going to use app it support forces d r a self fulfilling civilians invest food. a few hours later, the artist did him, and then he was killed. the united nations who won fights office in geneva as guard for justice. all about is responsible for this killing must be held to account,

including those who bad combined responsibility along side liability of the direct perpetrator. governor abaca was in the receipts custody, and it was the arabs recess responsibility to keep insights. so don's army had a bill for the total. hon also accused just that i made a 3 full size. the last good. nothing in assessing, eating the go button a month. well, but the odd us up denied responsibility. the ongoing conflict ensued on has taken an ethnic dimension in long trouble, the best awful state a footboard, c, melisha is vague by the audits of hoc targeting non at a population's onto him. how can one rights group say they have destroyed entire villages and get adult atrocities the hospital?

thousands of people have already fled to the state capitol hill, janina, and taking refuge across the border in nibbling charge. let's take a look now at some other world news headlines. at least 25 people have been killed in an attack on a secondary school in uganda. another 8 are reported to be in critical condition. the attack happened in the town of one way on the border with democratic republic of congo, some 400 kilometers from the capital, kampala authorities, blaine, were you going to in group linked to the as linux state us secretary of state antony blinking is expected in beijing. on sunday, it will be the 1st visit to china by a top american official since president joe biden took office. relations between the 2 powers have sunk to new lows, and blinking says the us wants to make sure they're compet competition, doesn't veer into conflicts? and daniel ellsberg, the man who read the pentagon papers, has died of cancer at the age of 92 was where was the military analyst when in 1971,
