. they're hoping to convince ukraine and russia to hold peace talks. the hello, i'm clear, richardson, thank you very much for joining us. we'll have more on the announcement by the russian president in just a few minutes. but 1st, let's go to, you've gone to where the death toll of an attack on a secondary school has reported the prison to at least $41.00. most of the victims or students. the overnight attack took place in the town of one pond way on the border with democratic republic of congo, some 400 kilometers from the capital kampala authorities say they are pursuing militants from. are you going to militant group link to the atlantic states? so can cross now to d, w as correspond and truly as when gum law. joining us from the event in capital, come paula julius, can you tell us more details about this attack?

to start to read. i think the number could even be, be got from the information we are getting from west and you gotten indicates initially the police say 25. the military now say 5 to 7 on people and ground. say the number could be way much, much more because considering the way they conducted this act and push the dummy traits possible that some of the bodies are used to be phone, the police and military have deployed. but it's also important to know that you've gotten as previously deployed to the eastern diarra seat, trying to look for these very rainbows the minnesota saves us the fact that i talk less tonight involved at least 5 of us silence of which the now looking for the trying the best to see that i placed the risk you, the abductors. yeah, tell us more about the silence. what do we know about the group that has allegedly carried out this attack?

this group is called the i lied democratic forces. it has its lead the code, yamil mccullough, who was arrested in tens and hundreds of what you've been a couple of years ago. and this group has been operating in the thick forest of based on democratic republicans of core and go, where are you going to has going to hunt them down? previously, they have been linked to these lab mix stage, and they've conducted a simulation in like this 25 years ago. the i talked to another school and pushed over a just to didn't seem to dmitri and abducted of a 100 actually in that incident. more than 20 of these are bothered, you know muscle, griff because their bodies would be under compensation. and regarding the people who understand to have been abducted, our authorities doing anything to try and rescue them are yes, the service is already deployed. you're going to read as it's trips in the

democratic republic of congo, and we understand they are now putting together intelligence with the account to puts in call and go to see that they couldn't get to these people. or it is some people on the ground of the civilians or forwarding information to the security forces. and or we learn from police on the military. the thing that what to invite 6, don't make sure that they get to the people who are being abducted. unimportant and notes that mostly most of these are thank you very much for that update. that was our correspondent julius minova, and kampala and rushes of president vladimir putin has announced the arrival of the 1st nuclear warheads and bella roost. and it said that more would follow. speaking of the economic form in saint petersburg on friday, pollutants at the move was meant as a deterrent to quote, those who are thinking of inflicting a strategic defeat on russia. but who remains unclear about his willingness to use them. here is, what does it have to say in his own words?

what is the, when you don't know what the use of nuclear weapons is, certainly theoretically possible, that i see it for russia. this is possible if there is a threat to todd territorial integrity and independence and serenity. the existence of the russian states. you remember, some of the nuclear weapons are created in order to ensure security in the broader 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, what do you mean? we have most such weapons and nights countries. and they know that. and they keep on inducing us to begin talk, so never duction or to push a connection or why i'm not too familiar with the i spoke earlier to d, w 's russian analyst konstantin, edgar. and i asked him whether there is evidence of this transfer. i suppose if it

happens and i think it is indeed the 1st batch i bought uh, also a few days ago to, to expand it on the topic and said that full deployment will only happen when all the facilities from storage already. that is an important vilification. 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, it can 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. the deliberate systems essentially miss aisles that'd be used. do you? 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 read it. so it is a bit of a trace of something else i'd like to hear your thoughts on. uh, we heard of who and they're claiming that russia has a more tactical nuclear weapons. then nato is. is that the case? well, that's direct 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 it 10 times more than the us has. that is the age. the treasure has over. they told, and this is why put in this throughout doing 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. paying their respects african leaders visit food to the side of

a legend atrocities against ukrainian civilians. at the hands of russian soldiers, by please read this and we must protect the lives in printing and rep appliances russian lives global lives. that's important to protect the nice and focus on the develop. 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. so the 1st one is that we are here to listen to listen both to prison zalinski and tomorrow would have been listening to prison, ported and reduced. so with deep respect for the people of

ukraine, which we have expressed to prison zalinski. we're going to also listen to prison and put in with regards to how he sees that rhodes to peace from a poster. also stressed the urgency of keeping green and fertilizer flowing out of ukraine. as african countries struggle with price spikes and food and 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 and have more uh, getting this sort of, she's russian strikes attached to the fact that putting is not in control of his own army. because they are striking us with missiles. now, the only other nations have decided to visit the country that initiated the missile strikes today. to me, i'm not quite clear as to how logical this looks, lead them,

but they are leaders of free countries. it's their choice actually, the same us. so lensky has ruled out any peace talks while russian forces are still in ukraine. so konstantin, as we heard putting, 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 less. i don't think that

a presence of fools 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 this try these initiative and your grade is not going to sit under its sovereignty and territorial integrity inputs and still continues to think that he can basically green's on. but the 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. it's rather unusual to see 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 them. uh, which russia continue to stage every year, almost, and would be an exception of crime. you attended them and with that, today's, when you have a presence of a major multinational was 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 sold 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 at 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 in his team probably best score i told him, you know, you have to be show yourself to the public because that provokes all sorts of unpleasant conversations and rumors, and i think that's what put in his doing now. well, thank you very much. as always, that is, do you have these russia analyst constantine. ok. let's turn our attention out is another story is making world news headlines. the greek coast guard is under

pressure to explain its actions for a boat carrying my friends thinking the mediterranean sea. on wednesday. at least $500.00 people are presumed to of ground a coast guard vessel as cord of the visibly overcrowded boat for hours before it went down. break authorities of arrested 9 men from egypt in connection with the disaster. you are a secretary of state and to me blinking is expected in beijing on sunday. it will be the 1st trip to china by a top american officials as president joe biden took office. relations between the 2 powers have sunk to new lows and blinking since the u. s. wants to make sure their competition doesn't vere into conflict. us. and daniel ellsberg, the man who weeks the pentagon papers has died of cancer at the age of 90. 2. ellsberg was a military analyst when in 1971, he released thousands of documents to the us media that showed successive administrations, had lied to the public about the vietnam war. football now and in germany suffered

a disappointing one. no defeat against neighbors. poland in a frenzy match in warsaw on friday evening. after going behind to to a goal from y'all, go back here you are with half an hour play to germany. we're unable to find a reply. the defeat is the latest and the series of poor results for his he flicks team. and germany's players are at a loss as to why results just won't go their way as strike. right, and making us feel crokert told to, to help you. and of course we wanted to win as we did in the previous game. at the moment we feel like we want to win. we somebody just can't. it's frightening that they can't even then obviously score a goal season one and then to concede from a corner at the other end and it cannot size up a situation very well. it's hard in times like these. the only thing that helps is to stick together and keep going until it works. what i'm saying when the mom is come and, and just before we go, we can get

a reminder of our top story. at this hour, the russian president, vladimir putin, has announced the arrival of the 1st nuclear warheads in bella roots. and he said that more actually is update off this hour coming up next our tech series shift. once i computer games that feature actual wars and current events in their story, and that's all for me for now. my colleague, michael, okay, we'll be back with more news headlines and 45 minutes time. thanks so much for watching the dw for on fixed all the info every day. the world wide web feel free to come over well, we can make the different w call the world.
