like shopping and dining offers, and certainly our services be our guest at frankfurt and bought cd managed by from bought the . this is dw news live from berlin, rush is present, it gives the wagner mercenaries a choice, joining the russian army, or leave the country in a video statement, by the way, approved and said, wagner mercenary fighters could either join russians army or go to bella, roost where their leader has reportedly agreed to go. now this comes just hours

after russia's mercenary leader said that he did not intend to overthrow president products and then all to your message. if getting for goes, it says that his actions on saturday were in protest of what he calls for leadership full scale of the war in ukraine. and nato had the insulting backs as events over the weekend demonstrate the weakness and fragility of the russian reasoning. the library gone to our viewers watching on cbs in the united states and to all of you around the world. welcome russian president vladimir fujen has just addressed his country, thinking citizens for their unity. following that a boarded revolt by the wagner mercenary group. fujen said that he will honor his promise to allow wagner fighters to relocate, to build a roof if they choose to. so well, ruth,

of course being we're wagner's commander yevgeny for goes and us gets it has agreed to go for food and said the wagner mercenaries could also signed the contract to join the russian army. but he did not mention i forget to earlier, the mercenary leader said that his actions have highlighted on the witnesses and mismanagement in russia's new point due to national security. this listing in doubt to what the russian president had to say just moments ago. he was, he used to present worthless today. you the rebellious wagner fighters and commanders have the opportunity to continue your service for russian by signing a contract with the russian defense ministry or other military and law enforcement structures. or to go back to your family and those who wants to leave for batteries is pulling in bolivia that you just although that you might think those fighters on commanders of the russian mercenary group. wagner, who made the right decision, you know, and didn't choose blood shed, but stop me at the last moment. all right,

when they go to the over russia analyst konstantin, it goes and see that's good to see you. so we just right heard right. different whether we approach it basically saying you've got a choice. wagner, men, you can either join our army or you can move to bill a roof. what do you make of that? still i think it means that fruits and lots to softly disband the rock. the group might probably. ready late to recreate it in some other form, but for now basically goes back to what was the base of the week or 10 days ago that old bug in the garden. there's have to sign the contracts with the ministry of defense. this is what because is reviews. but frankly speaking, brent going to belo switch to all intents and purposes until alexander lucas strangle has turned into russia semi colon e is not. you know, your safest place, frankly speaking, if you want to leave russia so all about is very, very rule,

very, very u haul cooked and bearing mind the fact that the president's a spokesman meet the best club and that was just an hour and a half ago actually, that's $22.00 is a speech will be historic, remembered in ages in history. and this was very much a disappointment then, frankly, i'm just looking up my iphone now all the time. looking at all the jobs that are russians are basically launching at the popping up at this uh, this strange speech and put in the did, he did not mention for goes at all in this video statement. if we don't know what we're production is right now, i mean, do we know anything about his whereabouts? what are you hearing or no end of those? there are some rumors that he actually went to bill rooms, but these are not come from a tool in bill, russian opposition. people with whom i spoke of just 2 hours ago,

said they know nothing. again, if the guardian is going to bellows, that's not the slightest place for him to be because i personally remember him as a trade shop in this speech. she was never mentioned once by next. and this is very typical of a person who, you know, wants to make it look as if everything is, you know, everything is fine. we shouldn't talk about the past. but everyone remembers what the garden did. and so i do not think it's the last act for him on saturday when we saw a progression with his mercenaries. driving moving towards moscow, there was practically no resistance from anyone. and yet we heard vladimir putin tonight praising the country, bridge unity. how unified is russia? right now. well, i mean, this is exactly the point to a lot of jokes i was reading before going on there. especially here. remember, we remember the scenes from the city or 1st on the, on, from the day before yesterday, with people actually friends with,

with the bottom to right. uh, i think that put in what desperately wants to put a good face on the situation which is actually very, very humiliating for him. i do not think though that this is the last we heard from him in this coming hours and days. what about alexander lucas? think of the leader of bill every city you know, on saturday he was the unexpected mediator in this be. what role is he really playing here? as you know, brentwood don't even know where they can mediate back to and lucas said cosette, they mediated, but there is nothing. we know lucas shank, a promise to talk to reporters tomorrow. that's number one. number 2, he said, don't worry, it's about guns going to be anything sort of spectacular if you wish. so i will probably hear some version of events from him, but again, i'm not certain that lucre shanker was look to rate, it is immediate to just to save,

put his face because to push it to admit that she spoke and tried to convince or something. and ma'am, she called a traitor in the morning, just 7 hours up to that. you know, that is very humiliating. so probably lucas shaped was asked to step into seed adjuster, safe with his face, asked intercede, of course probably had no choice but to do just that cost integrity and building as far as cost. i think it's always good to get your analysis. thank you. all of us well, as we've been hearing the man who launched the revolt in rush and then suddenly called it off, he has spoken out in all of your message earlier today. wagner group leader. you have any pre goshen claim that he wanted to protest. the russian government not over throw it boogers short lived revolt has left moscow seeking to restore column and reassert president putin's authority. many questions remain about how the dramatic events will inform his next steps and what they could mean for the war in ukraine. after a weekend of may head mans with votes,

operations save face has kicked in at the criminal and it started with the speed the i released on russian state tv with defense minutes. this guy is showing front and center seen to permanently visiting the front line and ukraine. it's his 1st public appearance since the bach and have a vote, an eclipse signal that he's still in charge. so which was the little girl, was the police again, and then came a call for unity from russia's 5 minutes to get the praise president pollutants leadership with the junior 11th faith cabinet meeting here in moscow along the way through before the under these circumstances, it's important to ensure the solvency and independence of our country, wonderful. the safely and wellbeing of our citizens. so we need to act together as one team maintain the units you offer or forces by lining up behind the president and take calculated joint decisions to implement task given by the head of statements that are showing you the you think doing the bonding as others. but the

postponement going, so that's the email. again, the, despite the huge step putters, to his leadership by bob, this module must go with if there was no mention of the weekends testimonial, it was automated to teams but statement. and since it all ended, instead, we got a video address released by the criminal in the beginning in which he praising young engineers. let's meet with the the us and others have described. so today's or vote, which is a direct challenge to the russian presidents, leadership to the bottom to lead on to sports is that's a fall face note punishments despite putins play around. good boy, you have any put goes in himself. the supposed to be invalid. bruce, after pulling out with his troops on saturday nights, whether he's the right the yet it's still unknown, but he has released an 11 minute or 2 your message in which he explains his reasons for taking action. not somebody said, you don't know where that was. there were 2 important factors for our decision to

turn around at the the 1st. so when you guys did it, is that we did not want to spill russian blood, the battery fox, the the 2nd. where is that? we were marching, you mom to show our pro, tell you what, but idea, but not to overthrow the government of the country. so the, yeah, well, i skipped that idea or lies will now be on the kremlin. i'm what president putin does next. as questions grow away, but his grip on power and the voc integrate those, been critical to rush as bull in ukraine where you cranes, president zalinski today under soldiers at a ceremony in an undisclosed location in the don't ask region. in a video he told soldiers, everyone knows that you are doing the most difficult work. you later posed for sale fees with the troops at a gas station. las gail who was formerly claimed to have an expert on that region.

well, that's because we've been occupied by russian lead forces since 2014 partners go straight to our special correspondent abraham. she is in the keys. i the world wondering what the situation in russian means for ukraine. now, did president zalinski? did he give? give us any hit if anything's changed. well, we haven't really heard directly from president zelinski since he tweeted about all of this yesterday. and basically the ukranian official line. and we've heard this from the president also from the foreign minister, and the ministry of defense is that what's happening in russia is proof that you know, the country suffers from severe internal political turmoil as a result of a, you know, the invasion of ukraine and that that invasion is really showing the cracks in that system. but we did see president lensky today make

a surprise visit to the front lines looking very relax, taking. so he's with the soldiers in a, in a gas station being, you know, very close proximity to the front lines, but also to the soldiers. and that's a really, that's a, that's a far cry from how we've encountered or experienced president clinton in the past. 3648 hours or so since the school crisis began. since this me, he rebellion, whatever you want to call it in russia at the get. i mean, we this morning there was a video released of him making some sort of official visit, unclear when and where it was really recorded. and then there was that speech that we had that, that we just heard it shortly. a short while ago, which was very brief, very, i'm like president put and usually likes to, you know, speak for longer periods. and basically an attempt to try and say face from that, you know, from what has happened in his country. and so we really, you know, i think the message is in presidents. a lensky is visit to the east today. what

he's trying to project to the world is the image of a confident leader. who has his people truly behind him and around him, unlike president put and when all of this was happening in worship, there were no protests, you know, in his supporting him or anything of that sort. and you know that the images really are just so different from each other. what are you hearing there in a keep me, how could all of this potentially affect ukraine's counter offensive against russian forces? well, there's a huge hope that you know, the disarray and russian lines, and it's certainly something that officials and ukraine have said that, you know, any kind of a chaos in enemy lines could be advantages to ukrainians. but, you know, as this mutiny armed rebellion, rebellion was happening. we saw ukrainian forces launch couple of attacks on villages around bus moved. i mean, are you were, what were, remember that this, you know, this was captured in may after a long battle here with

a lot of effort from wagner forces. so we're seeing, i'm trying to kind of re game that, or at least try to make some a break through there. we know that today there were some kind of some smaller villages, re taken by you creating and forces. but we haven't really seen the kind of major strategic breakthroughs. yes, i think what we're gonna have to wait a couple of days to really see it'd be events of yesterday. and today really presented that massive window of opportunity creating and forces. officials tend to be tight lipped about progress on the battle. so it's just going to be something that we're gonna have to continue watching closely over the next few days. brent dw, you abraham with the latest tonight from keith i as always, thank you for germany. says that it is now ready to permanently station $4000.00 additional troops in lithuania to strengthen nato's eastern border. germany already has around $1000.00 groups on the ground there. a show

of unity and strength, german, at least waiting on soldiers conducting joined exercise on the bumper of the training ground in the future. they will work even more closely together. after some, back and forth. berlin is now ready to permanently deploy $4000.00 soldiers to lease a new germany used to be the eastern flank of nato territory until the end of last year, all parts and germany as the biggest uh, economy in europe and a part member of nato of cause is willing and will be able to take responsibility now for the new eastern flag. the deployment is based on the precondition that lease we and you know, provide the infrastructure on need to to host additional troops, which will probably take onto 2026 still between you and president knows data seems satisfied with the announcement, but he's asking for more support from allies,

i've got to that to be off. what are the able to reach an agreement on nato's sort of taishan or this on some modal in the both the countries. so it's a significant milestone in strengthening dollar security. we should continue moving in this direction into unity, and this results need to is working on new defense plans to boost its presence an air defense in the region. but the big question here and pub ryder is whether that will be enough and what consequences the attempted wagner result could have. the events we saw unfolding in russia over the weekend demonstrates the weakness of the fragility of the russian regime. it also demonstrates the danger of being dependent on mercenaries at the same time. we need to remember these are internal russian. well there's, it's not fun, a thought in 2 weeks time. all eyes will be on lisa and you again. when natal

leaders meet here for their summit, you as president, you're going to says that it's too early to draw any conclusions about the impact of the wagner groups a boarded revolt in russia. 5, he said that he and western allies had been in close contact over the weekend. he also said that he had assured printing presidents the lives that us support for ukraine will remain strong. button dismissed. the idea that nation supporting ukraine had anything to do with the chaos that we saw in russia on saturday. the situation began to develop. as it did, i directed my national security team to monitor close the report to me our, by our i instructed down to prepare for a range of scenarios. i also convened are key allies on, on a zoom call to make sure we're on the same page. is critical that we are coordinated in our response and coordinate and what we to anticipate. we agree that

i agree with me that we had to make sure we gave put no, excuse me, oversight. the gave food, no excuse to blame this on the west and of blindness on data. we made clear that we were not involved. we had nothing to do with it. this is part of a struggle with in russian system, which was president biden. they are stressing that the us and nato were not involved in what we sold over the weekend. let's go down to dw scores funded janelle to molly on in washington. janelle, why was it so important for president biden to point this out? small friend, this is clearly a very carefully calibrated communications decision. so the word here is that the us intelligence community a did know and the weeks prior of a potential escalation between pre goes in and to. and so when it happened, they knew what they were going to say, and this decision to dispel and you notion of us involvement really seems to be

grounded in circumspection. in the idea that no one knows what happens next or what this actually means for ukraine and russia as such. so saying that this has an internal russian problem is the most careful way to proceed in a situation that can not change dramatically and quickly. but what is interesting is that joe biden has refrain from using any labels in his remarks. he did not use the words to mutilate revolt, rebellion or any of the other words that we have been hearing. he has preferred to use words like events or a situation that gives us even fewer clues as to what he thinks this is or this was . but today has been a day of statements we've heard from the white house and the state department. both of them seem to be acknowledging that this is a new point in this conflict. that's how this challenge to putin's power. and his

reason for invading ukraine is unprecedented. both are saying that the situation in russia remains a dynamics. so nobody here is operating under the assumption that this is over by any means. and we know that the u. s. president spoke with ukraine's president. what did he tell them? indeed, as in much of the reporting that we've heard from her other colleagues elsewhere, say from nato and nieto spartanburg. the mustang has been similar from the u. s. as well. so biden has basically reassured zalinski that support for ukraine has remained unchanged, saying that the west will continue to support ukraine's defense and sovereignty and in territorial integrity. and a lot of things really have been taken here to say that the us is focusing on its mission of supporting ukraine. but the events in russia will not detract from this

mission. but of course, you can imagine that behind closed doors, that's all and you, one is talking about and that there is massive scenario building a going on behind the scenes, whatever they might say. now, c, w is janelle valley on in the washington with the latest force del, thank you. let's take a look out. some of the other headlines around the world in colorado. a court is headed down to a light sentence to the man responsible for the murder of 5 people in the attempted murder of 46 more and a l. g. b t cube night club anderson. we all entered the crowd in colorado springs venue in 2022 and then shaw is victims. so yeah, really owns president is on course for re election. he's already passed the threshold for victory with 60 percent of the votes counted the main opposition party. the all people's congress said, one of the volunteers had died after police fired tear gas at their headquarters,

or what they said was a very tense election day voters. in guatemala, i have said 2 candidates through to a one off election for the presidency. the former 1st ladies 100 tortoise of the conservative in the party. she received them by 16 percent of the votes, while left this bernardo, out of all, lo, it took roughly 12 percent. in surely severe flooding has left at least 2 people dead. several others missing, hundreds more, have been forced to leave their homes. heavy raids had caused rivers to burst their bags in the center of the country. well, people in montreal are having to breathe in some of the world's most polluted air wide now. and that's because of the smoke from wild fires which have torn 3 more than $7000000.00 hector's of forest across the country. since january canada has been hit by repeated extreme weather in recent years, lying to say the intensity of the frequency are

a result of global warming. at the moment, clouds of smoke are blanketing, quebec of the sick gray small clouds on what would normally be a sunny and clear summer's day in monterey home. it's blown over from wild fires, raging and forest across canada. on sunday. air quality here dropped to a level worse than anywhere around the world. it's really like fun except that it's smoke because of the forest fires. it's really hard to breathe. my eyes sting a little too. it's a little hard to see. but it was a mask. it really smells like fire. over the weekend, the canadian environmental agency declared a small warning in many areas of quebec. they advise people to stay inside outdoor

swimming pools and athletic fields were closed, and outdoor events had been cancelled. at 1st, the forest fires reached across the west of the country, but now they've also reached the northeast. qu bec, authorities say some 80 wildfires are devastating the country side i mean, the whole country seems to be all on fire these days. but i think it's been president and from what i've read in the press, we've never had so many fires at such an extent for such a long period of time. and it's just the beginning of the summer. but there is hope on the horizon. according to weather forecast. rain is on the way, bringing much needed relief to north western quebec. supposed, as far as it is now, the berlin special olympics have concluded with a closing ceremony at the brand newburgh gate. tell me,

7000 athletes with intellectual disabilities competed in 26 events. so politicians hope the successful games will encourage germany to bid to host the 2036 summer olympics. the world's largest inclusive sporting event finished in a feeding way in berlin, on sunday nights with a spectacular closing ceremony at the cities famous brandenburg gates the special olympics. so more than 7000 athletes with intellectual disabilities, from a 190 different delegations competes more than 330000 people, attended across pay days to watch any sports from weight, lifting to swimming under the motto. let me win. but if i cannot win, let me be brave in the attempt filling staged in events that fascinated athletes and fans light. for many of the competitors presenting themselves on the world

stage was a dream coming through the hole . and sporting success is just part of the key takeaways from the events. yeah. start to feel like family because you are with them for 2 weeks and the bonds will never be for against. and i think the events both even we do live, that's how the 9 days i'm folded are the best bags to the people of germany who have welcomed our movement with open arms and made us feel like we are the most welcome human beings. on our 3rd year, germany has with special olympics come to a close organize us hope that a new era of inclusion is set to start in athletics the yorba say a beach is a colon. so a true display of the team spirit when belgium shot put in hammer champion,
