one different goals, health, smart nature, the more likes watching it on youtube, dw documentary, the, this is the w news. why, from berlin tanks on the streets of moscow. as the leader of the wagner mercenary good challenges, the kremlin, is gaining precaution, accused as moscow's commanders of lying about the war and ukraine and says, his forces have shot down a russian military helicopter. the army mobilizes and bosco, and elsewhere with the kremlin, calling it an attempt at armed,

notating the, unlike look of welcome security is being wrapped up in russian cities and made reports of an armed rebellion. the head of the wagner mercenary group is gaining precaution, has rallied his troops and reportedly returned to russia. he claims that have taken control of ki military sites in the southern city of wall stuff on dawn, including the regions military headquarters. russian authorities have not responded to precautions claims, but have asked residents in the southern region of raw stuff to stay at home. rushes military scrambled to its own defense as the full out from the war and ukraine. time. these vehicles patrolled the streets in moscow and the city, the overall stuff on, on pricing for an um,

rebellion from their own private soldiers. in the wagner group, the groups both fee of getting a precaution live to charge, vowing to toppled rushes military leadership after accusing them of launching strikes on his own troops. to show that they still hope that they can win this war. but as long as there is no management, no military success is the leadership of the ministry of defense as carefully deceiving the president and the president receives those reports that do not correspond to reality in any way. there are 2 agendas, one on the ground, the other on the president's desk. the print version claimed early success and the rebellion saying his troops faced no resistance at chick

points to russia and managed to reach russ stalled. those claims have not been independently verified. the kremlin immediately laid mutiny charges against per goshen interrupted tv broadcast to deny his allegations about the war and ukraine authorities even appealed to wagner. soldiers directly to defy the lead time. is that necessarily? yeah, the some i, us, you, you have any progression to stop the enemy is just waiting for the internal situation to west and the country of still it is unacceptable to play into the hands of the enemy in these difficult times for our country. divided in groups b, a heated the capture of the ukrainian in the city of buck mood last month. a battle field succeeds set in bold and per goshen. to criticize the kremlin,

that criticism now growing into a major threat to moscow and its entire military leadership. for the latest i'm joined by dw, corresponded jennifer palka who's covering this story from us for from a lot for us. and so dw was banned by the russian government. jennifer precaution claims his troops have entered russian territory specifically. and wall stuff on don has this been confirmed by the russian military. and what would be the significance of that? well, according to the latest reports, the wagner group surrounded administrative buildings in russ stuff on don, including the headquarters of the southern military district. there are tenants in the center of the city and according to but it was in the wagner who controls all military facilities in the store, including the airfield. it does not, however, hinder the performance of the russian army when it comes to the war. and you,

cree claims rewards him while there is no official confirmation by the russian military, the reports and the fact that the head of the rest of the region urged its residents to refrain from traveling and not leave their houses speaks volumes. and when it comes to this significance, well, that means that the board is prepared to take action, even if it means turning against moscow. what has the reaction been so far by the russian government? or surprisingly, it has been really quiet when it comes to an official statement. the kremlin simply stated that nodding you're putting is being informed about everything that is happening so far. but he didn't address the issue in a separate statement. neither did show who nor did i see more, but and then dressed by protein is now going to take place in the next couple of hours stated criminal spokes person to meet the school. but what was observed in russian cities like musket and the stuff on dawn was the tanks have been deployed

on the streets without any further explanation. and must i was in may or stated that anti terrorism measures will be intensified in the capital. and also the security at important administrative buildings in moscow has been and still the government continues to repeat that everything is is jennifer, as you well know, precautions actions follow his claims that russia launch military attacks against his men. any reason to doubt those claims? and why would the russian government launch attacks against the men who have large, we spearheaded russians defensive in ukraine. well, it's difficult to say whether p gordon's claims are true or not. we have to remember that in the past big wars and also make claims that then weren't true at all. for example, he claimed that his private army will leave best mood on may 10th after the victory parade in moscow or the chechen leader rums on federal army would take over. for

wagner in baltimore, in both instances, this was not true at all, but in the past, but he goes and has repeatedly blamed defense ministers to do so, who for not providing ammunition to warden or soldiers. therefore, in directly causing their depths, he went as far as personally insulting as have destroyed. so it could mean that he became too much of a problem for moscow. it problem that they tried to solve with an attack on wagner . we should mention precautions or criticisms have been directly directed largely at russia's military leadership, but shrewd his words and actions now be seen as a direct challenge at putin's leadership of the country. while be gordon repeatedly insulted and blamed. so i go and get asked him up, he never boys criticism towards poor team, so we have to keep that in mind. so it's quite unlikely that this situation can be considered a direct challenge at who do you want to do. and when it comes to rush of support

of the war, it's just in general, difficult to say how many people in russia still support the war. so we have to keep that in mind as well with precaution. now turning his focus in with the towards moscow. what will that mean for the war in ukraine? while it's also quite difficult to say how it really might impact the rush, us full scale invasion of ukraine, but with the war not going ahead as planned by russia and ukraine's counter offensive underway. and now a possible conflict inside of russia. well, to put a bunch bluntly, this will definitely not make things easier from las go as it is me, jennifer palka, many, many, thanks for that update. let's take a look now at the man who claims to be marching. his mercenary forces onto russian soil in an apparent open rebellion if gaining precaution for the part of your jewel

kinda log. yep, that's what i advise you, but is your word. yeah, you should watch 2 years to not a day goes by without commentary from russia's vocal oligarchy. you've given you pretty gordon on the war and ukraine. are. those are what i mean by itself through what i want more than just an opinionated 1000000000 there. he's a key player in the conflict as commander off the walk in a group, a private army of mercenaries, and over the course of the war he constantly has ruffled feathers and long rush has a lead. pre gordon has frequently blamed chief of staff by you to get, i assume, of, and defense administer the suitcase i go for not providing ammunition to walk in or he has even threatened them or not. so you can watch good by pretty positive. yeah, there's a friend who has come up with him . the pod plan would have to do

a good idea of what the but who is big was and why can you speak so openly the st. petersburg native had a trouble started in life spending most of his 20 behind bars for robbery and stepped. after his release, he set up a chain of hot dog stands in his hometown and earned enough money to open a restaurant. in the mid nineties, the new venture allowed him to mix with the rush of high mit, including vladimir 1414 broad, 4, and guess their earning pig was in the nickname, 14 chef. but it was only after russia illegal annexation of crimea in 2014. that science began to merge, that the warden was not an ordinary businessman. he became the commander of the wordly p. m. c. the private army for hire made a name for itself, fighting across africa in libya, syria and molly gaining

a reputation for brutality along the way. but despite the armies experience be gordon says if less organization, let's do it off. we started to this wonderful special operation on february 24, 2022 up less don't around for month was and then came to the stand still was the of the records, our bottom take it from many directions and what did we see? an arm is that the screen no management training and all weapons will probably be and, you know, kind of the standards. yup. model. it's a thought to myself, but that could be the only after months of threats, it appears the wagner bosses frustrations have finally exploded into an armed rebellion. i'm joined by dw, corresponded i abraham, who's covering their story for us from keith. oh yeah. how or ukrainians? reacting to the news of what's an apparent rebellion in russia or

what a night this has been here, michael, for ukrainians that are watching the events unfolding just across the border in russia. i imagine ukrainian officials have been in a non stop contract all night trying to make out what this means for them. with that being said, official response to us to the public, to the press has been since so far. but remember, this is still very, pretty much an and unfolding rapidly unfolding situation. we have seen one tweet by the ukrainian ministry of defense, not really referring directly to the events in russia, but simply writing. we are watching and ukrainians certainly have a lot of reasons to be watching, what's going on and rush. all right, now 1st there's what could, what this could mean for the battlefield. i mean, this is happening right in the middle of the ukraine's much anticipated offensive in the east and ukrainians have been known throughout this war to take advantage of

situations like this to make game, to make games on the battlefield. so it remains to be seen how this could play into ukrainian goals. if you have russian forces at home, in conflict with each other, then there's also how this plays into the larger ukrainian narrative about what this war means. i mean, their perspective is of a, they have been united behind their country to defend their country. well, russians don't really know why they're fighting and certainly seemed to uh, you know, seen the wagner mercenary booth go against president, a tutoring at please. very well into the premium narrative and they will undoubtedly be using that to lobby for their cause on the global stage. i, i'm curious, we hear there were air attacks on keeping other cds last night. what do we know about the casualties or damage they cost to? it was another her risk night here and to you of i think of the arid sermons went on a $3.00 to $4.00 times last night. i mean, most of the rockets,

most of the attacks were intercepted by ukrainian air defense, but unfortunately there were casualties last night when a high rise building about 25 floors civilian building was hit by debris at 11 injuries were told. and unfortunately, 2 debts happened last night as a result of these attacks, but they happen every night, michael, virtually, every night he request to create a grim reminder that, you know, despite these machinations for power happening, this is about ukrainian lives and they're being lost every day. many thanks is always to dw special corresponded abraham let's look at some more stories making headlines around the world. at this hour, flooding caused by heavy rainfall has submerged parts of chiles. capital santiago, with small towns cut off by torrents of water. but the ladies have ordered evacuation saying it's the worse weather in the decade. this both candidates in
