incumbents conservative prime minister to react was made to attack us planes. victory in the 2nd general election in 5 weeks, the unpopular phone in the us. welcome to the program. bell rou says it's liter. alexander lucas shanker has held another phone call with his russian kinder part vladimir putin. a day after a short lived armed uprising ended with the head of the wagner mercenary group, or during his troops to stand them. lucas shank has been credited with brokering videos that a board to the of danny precautions uprising regarding appears to have agreed to go into exile and batteries in exchange for insurrection charges against and being dropped. many questions, remain precautions. current whereabouts are well known. so let's take a look at the extraordinary events in russia this weekend in your cellphone zone

is now little sign of the city's brush, with an o russian rebellion. these tang trucks among the own, even all ages of the many wagner fighters who rode into town until control here is common to city today. no more fighters here with white vandals yesterday. there were plenty of them here, and people in my opinion supported them, bring them food, water, and cigarettes, regarding it all and it perfectly well. thank god, with a minimal casualties. i think good job. i believe this was the right thing to do from this man to suddenly hold buck and as much to most go is still a points of much speculation. you have any precaution left for us to open a flurry of hon shapes and she is like south today,

apparently agreeing to stand down his private telling me if most of the reason of the talks with an old friends, the criminal in late revealing the terms of the deal struck with the butler, russian leader. an agreement was reached. wagner will return to the candles. no one will prosecute them, considering their merits on the front line. it was always had respect for their heroic acts on the front line. and we will always maintain this respect you asked me what will happen with the guys in a criminal case against him will be closed and he will go to bell arrest.

it must go many security measures put in place to count through any pocket of a soul within the cap to remain. although you'd be hard pressed to know it, but behind the walls of the kremlin, it may take some time. yeah, to the president boots and to the get the last few days and the biggest domestic sweat so far to his leadership since taking power. all right, so it was the biggest threat to poking since taking office as we heard there in that report. and the kremlin would like us to think that it's all over and done with after the battery seemed broker deal, but there are many on answered questions about saturdays, extraordinary events. and the aftermath. could it be the beginning of the end for 2 things regime? us secretary of state anthony blinking says things don't look good for the russian president. so i think this is clearly uh, we see cracks uh emerging where they go if, if anywhere, when they get there very hard to say, i don't want to speculate on it. but i don't think we've seen the final act. this

has been a devastating strategic failure for putting across personally every front economic military, geo political standing. there are lots of unanswered questions, including the questions of what happens to precautions forces do the remaining in ukraine. i mean, we saw the extraordinary image of these forces coming out of your brain and going into russia as well for more on this last spring, and robert person associated professor of international relations at the united states military academy in west point new york, welcome to dw so we just heard the us secretary of state antony blink and say that the crisis in russia reveals, quote, real cracks improvements of tardy is that your assessment as well? yes, well you know, here i should note that these are my personal views, not the official position of the government, but i do absolutely agree with secretary blinking assessment. you know, for 20 years, for more than 20 years, has built been building

a system of control in russia. that really depends on his ability to both blackmail and to pay off the topic deletes for their support and, and to allow him to continue to rule washer. and i think this event shows just how we get into that system is the fact that proven was unable to contain the power struggle. it's been ongoing between true, goshen and the regular ministry of defense. and regular militant military forces shows that put lose control of his own enter. it leads his weekend to the point that one of them was able to execute such a breeze and move such as this. and the fact that he seems to have lee at least been able to walk away, at least with his life for now again, i think shows an extraordinary weakening of, of fruitless grip. now, the u. s. government was reportedly aware of precautions planned since the mid june

and officials were worried that it could throw the west main nuclear arrival into chaos. is this a case if it's better, the devil you know, the devil you don't as well. you know, we certainly know that unfortunately, the commanding heights and power in russian is filled up by many devils. um and of course like the recruiting, there's responsibility for most of what has gone on for the last year and a half. but there is obviously well warranted, concerned that whoever replaces him when he does exit power on whether that is in the near term or the longer term. there's a decent chance that whoever replaces him will be just as autocratic, just as aggressive. and in fact, perhaps far worse than he is. so, you know, this is a case where you have to be careful what you wish for. but nonetheless, we,

we certainly shouldn't, you know, pretend that, you know, keeping, putting in power is necessarily an act of stability. since he's shown a willingness to unleashing credible instability on the region in the world. now we've been talking about leadership here, but what impact could all these events have on the morale of the wagner group mercenaries, and even at soldiers within the russian army to well, you know, we've seen some interesting scenes of the last 24 hours on that. i think are really quite startling on the citizens, apparently overall stalls, welcoming some of the wagner fighters. i cheering them on and even i'm thinking them and applauding them as they leave on. that's got to be a rather demoralizing image to russian leadership as well as russia soldiers. and you know, again, let's also remember that the acts that really touched off this crisis was

precautions. public declaration that the entire premise of the war was a sham, a farce. and that's something that we've known in the west since the very beginning . but that is entirely taboo to say publicly in russia. and that's what gets really to the heart of prisoners and story because proven improvement alone is the one that made that decision. so again, to have a figure like precaution does seem to come in to the respect and loyalty of many of his men to declare that openly, again, has to raise questions in the minds of many russian soldiers. what is it that they're fighting for? what do you expect will happen next with regards to how to react to what we've seen this weekend as well? you know, i've been studying russia long enough 25 years to know that. um, you're honest and nice when you're making predictions about the future,

they always seem to defy them. but again, i think uh, what is really extraordinary is that um, you know, proven seems to have stood it down. uh, he has a loud um, a man who just yesterday he declared guilty of treason. uh to essentially uh, you know, walk off into retirement in bellows. that's not say that this episode is over. but again, i think putting the house to think about how he shores up his control of a system that he's frankly, i think losing his grasp of i'm and you know, that's certainly concerning. it doesn't mean that his demise is imminent, but it does suggest that the message that he has used to hold his system together for the last 20 years or really beginning to fail. robert 1st an associate professor of international relations at the united states and military academy.

thank you. thank you. let's take a look now with some other headlines from around the world. hundreds of protesters of riley's near spain's north african ex clave of melia on the anniversary of a crush that left at least 23 people that demonstrators of blamed spain's immigration policies for the tragedy which was triggered when migrants attempted to storm the border fence from the moroccan side in the united states, a freight train carrying hazardous materials has plunged into a river after a bridge collapsed, the train cars were transporting asphalt and so for in the state of montana. officials cut off drinking water supplies downstream. the close of the collapse is being investigated in greece. the 2nd, the election appears to be the charm for incumbent prime minister can react to some, its attack is and his new democracy party exit polls showed the conservative party

has won the country. second, the election in just a 5 weeks by a landslide. this means and its attack is, will be able to form a single party government under the new electoral system. on the campaign trail to attack is insisted that his government needed to stay in place to continue greece's economic recovery. well for more or less cross over to dw correspondence, slowing on schmidt, who is incessantly nicky. good to see you again. now the greek conservatives of former prime minister can react with me to attack as we're expected to win the election and, and from what we're seeing, it appears that that's happening again. so what more can you tell us? well, this clearly is a victory for can yak, listen to the taxi. so based up on the up on the condo, votes until now, it has secured a safe majority with about 40.5 percent of the votes. now me to talk is this dated in various occasions that in case the what do you uh, windows majority tonight um,

people will be called back to the ballot boxes in early august. now this won't be necessary. pdf was meant to attack. these will be running the country with a one party government for the next 4 years policy. it is, however, this is a disastrous night and a personal defeat for alexis t pess, whose political future is, is on the line. after the party dropped from 30 to 20 percent to 20 percent in the may elections the the results now even worse, around 17 percent. and so a true disaster for c it is a little quick look at the voter turnout. that was it around 60 percent in may disrupt to about 50 to 53 percent right now a lot of greeks. i don't list what they're registered to. probably they uh they didn't make it back to the villages and islands to cast their vote again. also, a lot of young people have already left for the more terrific areas of greece in

order to make money, as seasonal workers, based upon their age group. a lot of them probably would have supported at the left wing. and so the fact that they didn't cast their vote was to the benefit of could you, i could submit to the pockets. i'm briefly, if you could, what can we expect now from this, this new government which appears to be coming in as well. of course, people in greece want economic stability, but a lot of observers are very concerned about the, the state of, of democracy increases under kiddie atlas me to attack is they say that there is a legal scrutiny and not enough diversity in the media. seeing them and also they criticize the weak state also of independent institutions increased as opposed to uh, to control the work of the government. so a lot of people have told me that they see a grease decline into a into and

a liberal kind of system that we see also in hungry uh, in poland on italy, dw correspondence, sylvia and schmidt's in the greek city of pennsylvania for us. thank you. all right, that's what we have for you this hour. don't forget that you can stay up to date on our website, dw, dot com and you can follow us on our social media account or handle is dw in use on pablo phone. it is. i'll be back again at the top off the next step for me and the team here. thanks for watching and take care of the people in trucks injured one trying to feed a city center. more and more refugees are being turned away. families these correct only traitors.
