a bunch of you all are reading and some of the world's most polluted air. smoke from wildfire is raging across canada as blanketing came back, the i'm on the and you said welcome to the program. russian president vladimir putin has praised his country's unity following a boarded revolt by wagner mercenary group food and said he would honor as promised to allow wagner fighters to relocate the bell roost that they wanted. where their commander, you've given it for goshen has reported the agreed to go, or he would allow them to join the russian army. wagner is short lived, revolt has left the kremlin, seeking to restore. com and reassert pollutants authority. many questions remain about the dramatic events. how the dramatic events will inform his next steps, and what they could mean for the war and 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 a 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 will go with them. and then came a call for unity from russia's prime minister, going to be 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 add 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 category postpone and

what we can suggest the, the us and others have described. so today's which is a direct challenge to the russian presidents, leadership to the bottom to lead to and whose forces have safe fall face no punishments. despite to teams play around with the internet score. yep. can you put those in himself? he supposed to be in bed. it was after pulling out with his troops on saturday nights. whether he's the right, the yet is still unknown, but he has released an 11 minute audio message in which he explains his reasons for taking action. you're not somebody you said you don't know where that was. there were 2 important factors for our decision to turn around at the, for the 1st one, when you did it, is that we did not want to spill russian blood reflect that a. 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. a severe the yeah, well i skip that idea. that was followed a few hours later. why i promise from president booted to wagner fighters in the late nights address. he wasn't with us about today. you have the opportunity to continue your service with us or by signing a contract with the defense ministry of the military and law enforcement structures . people to go back to your family and loved ones. those who want can lead from elevators. the problem is that guys will be fulfilled and you will just pulling in . but there was no mention of the instigator in chief on buck and at least you have good. he put goshen, his life on future may still be on the line. we spoke earlier. we spoke to doug clean and non resident fellow at the atlantic council's eurasia center. i asked him why prudent is given wagner fighters, a choice between joining the russian army or relocating developers. so put him in his head to block

a type rope throughout this situation. there are few figures in russia who could do it for those and has done so far and still be alive today. if proven, were to immediately kill promotion or have them jail. he risks turning provision into a martyr and promotion. remember, has tens of thousands of fighters loyal to him, not directly to the russian government. that's what's behind russia's effort to try to get these wagner fighters to sign on, officially with the army to try to get them to be directly loyal to the russian military and government, and not personally to promotion. there's still a lot obviously that we don't know, but in trying to send promotion to bell orders that may be something of a compromise for pollutants government trying to sideline production without murdering him and put and hasn't made any further mention of for goshen. despite this announcement that he would, he does a deal that it could go to a bell or ruse, but what do you think will happen to production in the future now? as well?

not mentioning production by name is a tactic that he's actually used before. most famously with russian opposition leader elect saying of only never mentioning the name of this other figure who could perhaps present an alternative to putting himself. now he's using that tactic with promotion. i think that the kremlin watched the images that emerged from rust of lung don. when wagner and production were there, were russians port out in the streets and treated provision in his forces like returning heroes. uh, that is something that i think frightened and shocked the kremlin quite a bit. the fact that there's this other figure who is able to garner support within russia and present something of an alternative to put him in. does this mean the end of the wagner and mercenary group? i don't think so. wagner is, uh, you know, it's some of the best fighters that russia has. and at the end of the day, this whole rebellion and struggle has been purportedly over

a disagreement over how best to prosecute the war to inoculate ukraine wagner, some of the best fighters that russia has in versus not doing so well. the need these tens of thousands of guys to go back to ukraine and keep fighting, to try to save this war effort. at the same time, they want to make sure that they don't keep roving around within russia. uh, you know, willy nilly doing what they've been doing for the last week. they need to get these guys under control and back on message. but i, i'm not clear on that point if they're banished or bell or roots or during the military, that would mean that the organization wagner would not no longer be in charge of this man. right? right, right. so they, they are trying to co opt wagner's fighters formally into the russian military. i think that's the best scenario in the eyes of the russian government to keep these relatively skilled fighters and have them formally under their control. but if

that's not possible, then at least try to get them out of the way, send them to billers, where they can't present as directive a threat to the russian government as they have in the past week. remember, they were only a couple 100 miles away from rolling into moscow. i think they want to get these guys as far away as possible. this came as a surprise to a lot of people watching the events unfolds, but putting praise rushes unity on monday. what do you make of that as russia united country right now? i think that's a very open question. again, all point back to these videos that emerged of how russians were treating wagner. this rebellion was, was stifled pretty quickly. and again, we don't know the details of this deal and what happened behind the scenes. but there, you know, as things had progressed further, i think that everybody in the kremlin is wondering how many people across russia would have treated wagner the same way that the people in the rest of on don treated them. pollutant of course now has to paint a picture of the unity has to reassert control and to try to firm up the myth that

his authoritarian regime is invulnerable and inevitable. he's trying to do damage control. now the clint, thanks for joining us. thank you. the cranes president below them is lensky has honored soldiers that a ceremony in an undisclosed location and the don't yet screech right. and the video, he told the troops that, quote, everyone knows we're doing the most difficult work. he later paused for se that a gas station, moscow, as formerly claimed to have an x the don't you ask region which has been occupied by rushing load forces since 2014. let's take a look now at some other headlines from around the world. cities, the court in the us state of colorado was handed down a life sentence to anderson the aldridge for the murder of 5 people in the attempted murder of 46 others at a gay night club in 20. 22. aldridge was overpowered by patrons of the colorado springs venue, after opening fire with an assault rifle,
