the, the, this is dw news lloyd, but from berlin tonight, shocking threads from the kind of the bought their mercenary group. who says that people confront brushes, defense ministry, that's the military. leaders are telling the public lies about the board. and you, frank, will bring you more on his latest claims. also coming up tonight, questions surrounding that catastrophic submersible implosion. and officials now

grappling with who was responsible for investigating the catastrophe that killed all 5 people on board, deep in the north atlantic. and germany scaling up from large labor shortages, forcing the government to change its trust immigration laws and to welcome skilled workers. the i break off the overview is once you go to cbs in the united states, into all of you around the world. welcome, the head of the russian mercenary group. wagner has issued what sounds like a declaration of war against his country's top military officials. yep, getting pre goshen posted in all of your message today, accusing the army of watching strikes on his own troops in a separate video clip. he said that most males invasion of ukraine was based on lies by the military's leadership. as wagner groups spearheaded russians capture of

the ukrainian city of buck moved last month, a battlefield success that has allowed him to criticize law scale with impunity. the main target progressions ty rate is the russian defense minister. a miss the defense ministry is trying to deceive the public on the president and to tell a story that that was some crazy aggression by ukraine. and that together with the anti in nature lines, they were planning to attack us. not, not by the so the so called special operation of february 24th will started for other reasons. the military analyst, maureen, in the road, is with the worst studies department at kings college, london. i asked her, what she thinks is behind for golden state. good evening. well, it is interesting that wagner has been silent for almost a month, and i mean the beginning progression. and now he's coming out again

a in between. we have seen accusations that apparently is the russian armed forces have attacked. wagner, troops, and one hostage has been taken, and now it seems this back and forth game. and i think through a certain degrees, administer of defense and is going to show wagner is that it's not going to tolerate such behavior. even if regarding himself has direct links to put in. so i, i think we're going to see this power game for a while, but i don't think there will be a major escalation because the administrative defense officer understands that it's a clue of the kremlin. and the 2 of the kremlin gibson military and check amongst other things. and therefore, wagner or progression can allow himself to be as explicit as he is without any punishment. so if he's that important for pollutants war effort, what if anything,

can the russian defense administering due to the, to put, you know, to check them out and put it back in line as well or internally perhaps, or will be moved by the ministry of defense to convince, put into silence wagner in a way, but without any sort of physical violence. and we will see you on the battlefield. as i said, let's them the russians attack the wagner group, one soldier has been taken hostage. now, wagner is claiming that the russians has have fired on their positions. so those kind of skirmishes were likely to see, but i think mostly those things will be settled internally. and i think of regarding the also benefits from going out and attracting public attention. and maybe his tom thing is also useful for the m o. d to take action. and we have seen

that in the past 6 months, for instance, wagner has prompted the m. o. d, about the defenses after the loss of the mom and withdrawing from paris on. and it seems like it's not the only reason, but it seems like it had some impact on the sinking, holding trouble thinking. because and also said it is video that the public, they've been lied to, that there was no native threat to russian. no ukrainian threat to russia. do we know, is this going to have any impact at all on the opinions or mood among ordinary russians about this war as well? i don't think that progression has the power to influence the entire russian population because the narrative not just prior to the war, but for the past at least 50 years, has been that a need or is preparing a color revolution inside russia. so need or has been this book demand for quite a while, and i don't think that one statement from pre gosh and will likely alter the views

that that have been persistent in the russian population. military analysts, marina roland from kings colors. the wondering is always the reader. we appreciate your time in your insights. thank you. my pleasure. thank you for having me. the catastrophic implosion deepened the atlantic. they claimed 5 lives a day after the u. s. coast guard confirmed the tragedy. many questions remain. most of all, what exactly went wrong? the loss has provoked some criticism and calls for regulating deep sea towards at the bottom of the atlantic ocean. next to the wreckage of the titanic, now lie the ruins of the titan. debris found by search teams confirmed the submersible imploded, some 3 and a half kilometers beneath the surface. the tragic, that's the 5 people on board have triggered questions about the safety and ethics

of such adventures. ocean is a very dangerous place. it's not a playground. okay, so this notion of tourism needs to take into consideration the danger of the ocean . it's a restless beast just waiting for you to make one mistake. it will swallow you up, you'll never be seen again. and 2nd, this is not just a site for of shipwreck. this is where more than a 1000 men, women and children breed their last. this is their final resting place. it's a great side. when the titanic sang a 111 years ago, it paved the way for new rules governing commercial vessels, etc. like having life boats on board for all passengers, submersible was never independently tested, and many se, much like the titanic, early safety warnings was nord, a german tourist who took the trip in 2021, set the submersible, had electrical problems and lost one of its stabilizers during his dive, the p h,

but the issues we had on my trip, i have to say on the whole thing was not thought through my name. it should not have continued with all that we know today. give us more advice the time disaster. some hope will inspire its own regulations to improve the safety of the fairly new industry for extreme ventures. undeterred by risks, i suspect the will continue to say this is sort of the industry and grow. there may be costs more regulation, better understanding of how these sorts of vehicles are design built and certified for use and nice data tapes. the environments, you know, this is a relatively new field with uh, you know, a relatively short history of trying to cater to that deep sea tourism industry. and you know, this is the 1st tragedy of its nature. the titan was operating in international

waters. so it didn't fall under one particular countries, regulations, the fragment and nature of ocean governance could make it difficult to deliver to call for regulations. well, how did the wreckage side of the titanic become a tourist attraction? i pose that question to glasgow business. professor john lennon, who has researched what is known is dark taurus. so the titanic is unusual in the are all sizes of racks on the ocean floor. but this one exists a particular fascination for us. i mean it's because it's being represented and re represented so many times it may be a television film document, right? it has to come an icon with the lot. it can be narrative around is the largest chip, the luxury ship, the on the single ship makes for an interesting story. so it is occupied a special place that perhaps it says to ship. so all the ships that they found to

continue that void use. unfortunately, it's didn't make it that those guys just don't get to kind of coverage the tied time it gets bought. actually visiting such a rack is i very expensive and very extreme form full of service. um and that is a very small part of the overall market. so thinking some is that a continuum skiles from the recall adventure tourism that goes from soft stuff to hard to scale off to the very end to which is quite extreme. and that would be something like the underwater is the thing that we've been talking about. but also the trips to things like the mariana trench, which you can also do, which is almost 7 miles on to warsaw. and it's comes in in about $750000.00 with us for. right. because the, the titanic site it's,

it's also the last resting place. for the, for people who were not able to get off the titanic when it's like, i mean it's, it's where there remains. roommate should private companies like ocean gauge. they even be taking torres to this wreckage site as well. so we live in a liberal democracy. so a um there are uh, regulations covering access to such sites and the saw there now prohibited seduce in many ways it's like many side solve a trusted, say a science has lost his life, us killing people are drawn to these places that exists. a dog fascination. all right, that's what i told tobias in dog tourism. and often those visitors will go to there on the basis of learning, educating themselves about what has happened there. and hopefully emerging from

that doctor visits that experience in a past supplies, southern concent flights. it's the very was that we can do very often as a rice, is there one less than that we can learn from this tragedy and do you think there will be consequences for deep sea tourism moving forward? i think i think in my well into the service and these, the sites, whether it's ash that's the canal or come irish sites in cambodia in cos and sites because i, they provide evidence that such events that they provide documentation to prevent denials. but in the case of the titanic, it's an important size and for the findings of people who tragically lost their lives. and i think we have the saw in the treatments of the sites being quite

referential and quite cancelled in, in looking at it as what it is. the final resting place for many of the souls who lost the law. professor john linden from the glasgow school for business and society because we appreciate you taking the time to talk with us on this friday. thank you tom. well, how it's a good investment money and financial aid to economies that need it moves. so that was one of the main questions that a somebody in paris was we was aimed at overhauling the international financial system. development bank are planning to unlock $200000000.00 in lending to help emerging economies. the vip ease of international politics and finance in powers to debate on negotiate with the leaders of low income countries. delegates agreed that the aging financial system on the pins by the will bank and the international monetary fund. it equipped to tackle more than challenges made was by

climate change, and the coven pandemic, as we have never had the appropriate discussions for the dismantling of an imperial florida. and whether it is in the united nation system, or whether it is in the multilateral development banks, regrettably, we continue to see 1st class and 2nd class citizens. how that should be remedied is still up for discussion though to milestones were announced. the i m f, that wealthy nations have finally made good on an old pledge to help low income countries borrowed funds more cheaply, money needed to buffalo climate change. and to pull between these matters, we made a commitment to mobilise 100000000000. that's the commitment. now is fulfilled, want to think up all those countries

developed countries as well as emerging market economies who has pledged to provide lots of their special drawing grades. that's what a l k t t. no, because 2021. so we can lend at highly concessional terms need is also said development banks would be expected to free up to $100000000000.00 to help low income economies by wandering the bonds sheets more tightly and taking on more risk called the world bank to return to flight process improvements to increase its speed and chilling and responsiveness. and also for strengthening well thanks effort to mobilize project capital at scale. but there was little movement on imagine long close to the french president's heart, a comp and tax on the international shipping industry with the prices used to fund

the climate change of the application efforts in the low income countries. 64, as well as them on know we need a large number of countries doing this with us. but if the china, the us and the key european nations that are home to large shipping companies are not with us, the new tax would be to no avail. because the people targeted would just go to countries that don't enforce it. a pro test is outside the summit, including swedish activist data tune back once more radical measures that demanding higher taxes on the fossil fuel industry. i see an entire community consumed and drowned by floods. waiting to stop for day is because our government has local north governments have decided that we're not imported enough to stop spending on fossil fuels without the support of the worlds which explanations who are pulling the strings, the protest as demo on. so we'll keep pulling on desk is part,

let's take a look at it on some of the other stories that are making headlines around the world. voters and molly have overwhelmingly back constitutional changes in a referendum that the ruling military hunter says will eventually restore a civilian route. the electoral authority says more than 97 percent voted in favor of the reforms. servers and opponents reported security incidents and irregularities during the but the un nuclear chief raphael grossi has met with the head of russia's nuclear agency in cleaning rod. he says that the 2 discussed the safety of these ep reaching a nuclear power plant which is occupied by the russians. law scale has urged the human agency to prevent ukrainian attacks on the plant, but cuba ledges. russia may be planning its own. the task a good body it has passed, a law barring non voters for running for office and future elections for government . lawmakers unanimously approve the amendment which critics say is aimed at stifling the opposition's. chances, particularly those in excellence,

the incumbent prime minister, is running almost on the post and next month's general election. academics in mexico are calling for an investigation into the killing of research or an environmental list of auto are these. earlier this month, our visa was attacked with an x and the environmental education center. his colleagues said that the kelly appears to have been premeditated, and in retaliation for his work, defending force and water resources. in germany, lex skills, doctors, teachers, tech workers are all enjoyed supplies. so the government is now working, looking to recruit newtown, and then to make the country more attractive to foreign foreigners with the needed qualifications. now that means changing the laws around immigration to bring in more people from outside the european union, the and it's a step towards making germany a more attractive destination for immigration. members of the bone stuck on friday

said yes to changing the skilled work are slowly being put out. we need to be more open to bright minds and hot working hands. we need to get better at competing for global talent. and this low is making sure that even putting it on experts say each year, gemini needs about $400000.00 skilled workers to come to the country from abroad to fill the gaps. the hope is that this new law with a small, flexible move could entice more professionals. that changes mean people with the university degree and the job offer to find it easier to get the residency permit. in germany, i teach specialist in high dumont and in some cases won't even need to have a degree to come work here from the new little problem is this less through a policy and a so called opportunity card for those skilled workers who wants to find a job, after arriving into money, there are also new rules for qualified asylum seekers. what over to here,

those these food qualifications we would be able to access the labor market. this has to be a by making it possible for people to participate here and treating them with respect. that's the only way it can work out what may look good on paper. it could be very different in practice. critics one that by lowering the salaries threshold, people could be paid unfairly or even exploited. and how quickly the storage is be able to process based applications. remember, this is a country where many government agencies still use fax machines. germany was recent people did the worst place for foreign workers in the survey looking at issues such as ex, as to housing and digital infrastructure. there is a global competition for skewed labor, and germany has some catching up to do in this book to ease integration. it comes as a new poll of voters here in germany shows support for the far right anti immigration party, the a f d. well,

the update has reached its highest ever approval levels. the survey found that 19 percent of voters would pick the a if the, if elections were held this week, that would make them the 2nd strongest party in germany, 2 percentage points ahead of the social democrats. of course, you know, the chance to elect schultz is a member of the social democrats, the party. it came out best in this paul with a 29 percent share of the vote. where the conservative cd you too, are currently in opposition in the federal government. parliament dw political corresponded catherine blankets told me earlier, what topics might have caused this shift towards the right? i mean, migration is still the leading topic and the main motivation for people to move to the right in germany. it's a small the lies, is this part of the voters? and it is also topic that's been in the news in germany quite a bit recently. we're just seeing the report. so we've seen headlines about local authorities struggling also to deal with ukraine and refugees fleeing the war. and

then there's talks about a saw and reforms at an in the you level. but you know, this also goes to so this resolved goes to show that the public is disillusion with the current government. it is a question of dealing with fierce economic fear, stemming from inflation high cost of living, but also a fear of transformation. and the government has had some communication problems in the past, increasing the social security with some internal fights rather than alleviating the fears. yeah, i mean, if i think about what we've seen in italy, what we've seen hungary for white parties, it's certainly been gaining support. they've been getting traction in other european countries is germany or what we seeing is this part of the coming trend or thread. we do see that and as you've mentioned far i part is, has been on the rise in europe and also non european countries as well. just recently, racing for a party is being voted into the government in italy, of course, but also in sweden and finland as well in hunger, in poland before i parties have ruled for quite some time. and also see similar

pulling results to those we see in germany it has to name a few countries. the specific raises for each country to move to the right of course, diverge. but what is the case in germany also holds true in other places as well, populous give easy answers to complex problems, and we're facing quite a few of those complex problems worldwide. yeah, yeah, that is i would say almost a 100 state but data people have corresponding. katherine lock is catherine. thank you. so the sports, these were gonna start off with basketball. frenchman, victor, when ben yeah, is the 1st overall pick in between 23 in the draft. he makes history as the 1st ever a frenchman, just the 2nd european to be the top selection. there was no debate about who the san antonio spurs would choose the larger than life 19 year old has been called the best prospect since lebron james came out of high school 20 years ago. victor when

the 2 meters 22 or 7 foot 4. victor, when bon yamma is head and shoulders above most on the basketball court, with the agility of a player half his size, victor is often described as out of this world. the last player to receive this amount of high prior to playing was in be a superstar le bron j fans in san antonio had been waiting for wendy as he's known to make his entrance. now he's arrived when it comes to that level to really describe it. you still fresh, but uh, the best thing in my life, you know, probably the best night of my life. i've been dreaming about this for so long. it's just, it's a dream come true. it's incredible. the victors already made a name for himself off the court in the us recently to have the honor of throwing

out the 1st pitch during the new york yankees baseball game. the literally, if that 1st fits before he gets the hardwood, this new coach is focused on helping him settle in texas because of all the hype, delivered target on his back. so more than those of access to begin with will be most interested in setting framework in an environment where he's comfortable, where he can be, victor, he's not labranz or tim or coby or anybody else. he's victor. and that's what we want him to be. the spurs have bank doing when bon yamma success have a city that worships basketball. san antonio believes the height is real. it's a big weekend for european fields of american sport with major league baseball's 3rd london series. returning for the 1st time since before the cobit 19 pandemic,

video, a message in which he accused the army of watching strikes on his own troops. and all 5 people on board that missing submersible have died after a catastrophic implosion. that the crown search for the missing vessel ended when debris was available, the ocean floor near the wreckage sight of the titanic. you're what you dw, do is after a short break, i'll be back to take you through the day, stick around, we will be right back the
