and some great culture more just about w travels off, we go the, this is the w news live from the land, where is live dog and i had you have a need for goes and the leaders that are roast. alexander lucas sang coast says he is in russia, despite previously claiming progression had gone to bella russ. this positive deal to and thoughtless challenge to moscow progression has not made a public appearance since he led the alms revolt in june or to twine russia on the

list. and also coming up the russian rock hits, make a deadly strike on ukraine, hissing the west and 50 of the beads and apartment buildings targeted. and at least 4 people have died. according to the training and the terri administer, rescue is still searching the problem of this environment. alongside the heavy western russia is waiting a was informational robin. this information we take a closer look at how most goes narrative for the conflict and ukraine is getting a wide circulation with spanish speaking in fluid. plus funerals helps the palestinians killed in the west bank city of janine itself. the israel military operation that at least 12 palestinians delight in 2 days and thrown strikes and rates. these rainy military says the dead minutes, the

or i'm on you can please mckenna good to have you with us. we felt with some breaking news about the head of the valid and a messenger, a group if gave me progression the bell of russian liter, alexander lucas sang, cuz he broke good deal to end as awesome as me to see new to meet again. must go. says production is in russia and notes and belarus as was previously played. the voc, my boss has not been seen in public since the failed rebellion in june when he munched on russia's capital. the white house has previously said it has no real reliable information to conceal his whereabouts. he told me russia unless constant exits joins us now from vilnius list away in yes and more constancy. and what can you tell us about precautions? whereabouts as well? we don't know really where he is. he wasn't seen since the rebellion. uh and since

then we only had kind of circumstantial evidence, rumors of him, a tearing, allegedly appearing in his office in saint petersburg. what we do know that uh is that he's that bad residents and he's offices was such that a huge amounts of cash were found there also possible with his photo bought in different names, also photos which seem to indicate that he tried different disguises for himself. but so far, nobody gordon, frankly having heard what lucas tranquil said. i'd say we should be cautious about that because you can shrink and to, to, to be truly a tell a truth about things. and it's absolutely, there's no reason to believe that the garden is in russia or in bell. it was personally, i would say that if i were him, luckily, i'm not. uh, i would definitely i would definitely try to be outside of both russia and build it

was because i think that puts, you will not forget this muted, he will not forget his attempt to basically interfere with the president for functions to replace ministers based on the fence you of general stuff. so to go from i think knows that he's in danger when he's in russia or invalid was okay, let's just get back to alexander nutrition. k, the bell, russian leda. he says that he looks forward to hosting baldwin must marie's in belarus. but says the question is that trump's to assess up hasn't yet been decided . so so. so what more you hearing about wagner must vary as being and better us as well. i think it's now there's a, there's a huge cloud of smoke hanging over the wagner crew. we don't know where the fight is. all allegedly 3 camps full of them was set top in a bill. it was westminster. bob. again, it's not clear whether actually they are populated by anyone. so i'd say,

although again, we suspect that the bundle operations in, in, in africa for example, are continuing on their home turf. if you're in russia and in ukraine volume, the group, i think at least for now seems to operate as a unit. so lucas shampoo can see whatever he wants. but frankly, the more he says, the more through to me is that it is an attempt to, you know, basically bury the issue all the time. whether he will need the bottom, the rides there or not. i don't the, on the one hand, the, the rough nom it, which is notoriously weak, may use some training by the wagner people, all the other hand, lucas franko doesn't like when to teams. people, when russians are actually deployed to bill, it was very close to minutes. he wants to control the security space and they've all the guys will not be under his control generally. so i don't know what type of

contract is people are going to see if they go to sign a contract. it's so really kind of smoking, there was yeah, i wanted to ask you about this idea that wagner must or know, raise a, taking up an alternate also to sign contracts with the russian millet tray has anything been said about that as well as the defense ministry of russian solutions, i officially said that yes, you can continue. you can continue fighting if you sign up with the rough mode. now the russian, i mean, i suspect will not pay them as much as box in the did because it was a huge state operated state dispense slash phone to finance lesson is now the army direction on these. well, the leadership is notoriously corrupt, but still i would say that they will not have the money to pay these people. secondly, these people are used to a different type of discipline from them is for discipline. and they used to

operating in, well, all the conditions the regular army is different from nursing. so i think not a lot of them will sign up even with this all for attend. right. um, i did just want to ask you, cuz you mentioned earlier, puts in dozens to get that has been speculation about a crack down in the military and security services. and in russia, what would you say is like, be happening right now in russia briefly become a great question i'd say is that probably what we witness or rather than do not with this, but suspect what's going on is a very wide touch of those, the people that started boots and suspects of disloyalty, general sort of the can the russian air force come on in depth to come on the all the of the, of the operation against the grain hasn't been seen since since the crew allegedly is in the f s. b high security prison. in moscow, we have indirect proof of that one and joe sent him a postcard which is

a normal thing in russian prisons. and this spot postcard was accepted by this prison mobile. leave it with the prison. there is not there. the person is not imprisoned in this particular prison. they do not accept and send the, the called back, but again, maybe they wanted to create the 2nd impression. know what i would side is whether sort of the game is in jail or not with a couple of other people highlight rating people that we haven't seen are also arrested. we don't know, but one thing for sure on the one hand puts your needs to punish those. he suspects of disloyalty. on the other hand, she cons have a massive public purge because that's a little like badly on humans. we'll just see that people around him were trying to apply to that and remove she must have to do something like that. that does not bode so for his procedure. all right, well have to leave it that, but don't you russia unless come see, i got it. thank you so much for trying to throw some clarity onto what is clearly

still a very unfair situation. thank you. thank you for now in ukraine, at least 4 people have been killed and more than fussy, injured in a russian missile attack on the west. and the city of v for the local mass, as the thousands of buildings have been damaged, and rescue is all now searching through the rubble for potential survivors. although the city is fall from the front lines, louise has come under a piece of attack since the beginning of the war. in late june, it was hastened a large scale russian throat attack, targeting cities across few crane. let's go straight to keith and speak to a correspondent letting it come late. hi that, nick. and what more can you tell us about this, this night time attack and movie what we know, what we've heard from the authorities that i need to say, this is the biggest single attack on leave since the beginning of the war. these are a cruise missile is much harder to in set them the ring and built drones that we've

seen more recently the serial shot for since you like to leave it is as you mentioned a 1000 times or so away from the front lines. a place where many people have found safety, what they thought was, safety, fleeing from other parts of the country. it's a hub, 15 minutes area, and all that. a new interest buys coming in to the country from the west. and we've seen reports out not only of residential buildings being hit, but also of university who was of residence is also told of critical infrastructure . we don't quite understand yet what's meant by that. and yeah, those numbers, in terms of the wounded of climbing now over around 3 dozen, those expectations that might still arise further. there's obviously big shots, people who took their leave, that they were in a kind of productivity, different, more safe environment than safety. if you said that these were a cruise missile, cruise, missiles that, uh, that hard to, to, uh, detect, what does this tell us about the space if you cranes, ad defenses of the, of what we know 7 of 10 christmas. hows were intercepted to that know, see,

leave 3, and we've seen what damage that can create. i think the important thing to remember here is that we, we understand we expect has a lot less in the way of protections and cities like if like causative, like vanessa, which get a lot more in the way of attacks. and so if you can, why that has received a lot from the west is still not able to cover all its targets as it would like on that. i have most european countries don't have anything like what ukraine has, right now. they rely on fight injects to either attack themselves systems that are causing strikes on the territory with insect india, and that is being renewed. cool. today from ukraine, you'll sort of thing, send us those f, 16 jets. we need them to intercept those ms olds. otherwise, with the kind of land based systems we comp get every missile heading all way. so there is a real sense here that this is a reminder to western countries who have been a bit behind what they initially promised in terms of supplying those jets to hurry up. because that is the question, not just of delaying ukraine's offense. it's counter offensive on the front lines, but also in terms of protecting civilians fall behind us for lunch. next,

thanks so much so that i was in it come late reporting from keith to now hop through his room. c and this in summation, russia has been bringing persuasive propaganda to its will asset and that influence and campaign goes well beyond its own borders. with over 500000000 speakers. spanish is a key language. so russian propaganda and now most goes and narrative is getting exposure in sympathetic spanish voices. 6th of june, 2023. the nova ca hoff got them collapses in ukraine and videos like this one shared and viewed thousands of times in the spanish speaking world. but of course, there are many fakes. this use a here claims that this video shows the moment when the them exploded. this, this is leading. yes, we see the same them, but a reversed image search shows the video was published in november 2020 to the tweet

blames ukrainians for the exposure and labels them as nazis. many other use us use the same description like in these tweets calling ukrainians. nazis is one of the major narratives of this war by spanish speaking accounts spreading this information. looking at the content on ukraine, russian state back the accounts have use the term nazi 50 percent more often since the invasion and according to experts. there's a reason for this, also let in america, it's a very quick way of generating rejection toward government by linking it to not citizens. another major dis, information. narrative focuses on lensky himself. is crediting ukraine's president as a person and politician to legitimize the war. this video, which was viewed thousands of times, claims that lensky wants the war to continue as a reaction european problem and terry and to leave the session. but this claim is

false. every verse, image search and the science on the tables lead us to the origin of the video as an austrian paul even session earlier this year. here politicians of the far right austin f period policy that leave the room during the speech presidency. however, he didn't say that he wanted the war to continue. that. why is the lensky often to target himself? best so nice to have a language realizing brushes war on a character and described in that character as an ad hominem operation that propaganda. austin, employees find that laptops that major narrative focuses on influences. they have become an important tool of russian propaganda in spanish. recent studies shows of the 15 most retweet to the account, surveyed 7 for independence. spanish speaking influence of one such spanish speaking influenza. as leo savannah, you go, she shares this leading claims about the war with thousands of all the words. the

goal hosting support for the russian government did not fluid yet instead asking, and she has been doing so throughout the course of the war year. she's explaining how well russians are rebuilding more you for a city and southeastern ukraine. this claim is misleading. c via doesn't mention that russia was the one to destroy the city. she only shows how it is now building new apartments or playground. and according to study, she's not the only influence of spreading russian narrative in spanish. one though a lot like when official information is discredited, there is an attempt to turn to other voices out. the citizen voices tend to be more credible as so much good evening. tough truce rumors and this information, all in all, a way of strengthening russian perspectives on the war and ukraine. the russians have an opening there because they can dress themselves up as being different from

the western world. and it's a significant opening with a global reach of almost 500000000 spanish speakers. it's one of the key like which is for russian propaganda. the thomas barrow is a member of the w site checking team. and he's here to talk to us about the spread of russian propaganda in less than america. good to see you, thomas thomas, tell us more. but we've just heard him that report. that brochure actually has an opening in latin america and beyond. not in america. also in the wide, uh speak, spanish speaking world and that actually goes way beyond the fact that there are 500000000 spanish speakers in the world. it has to do also with the fact that in particular, in latin america, because of the regions rather, trouble of history with the united states. they're on to west and on to us sentiments that russia has now really tapped into. we've got the message that russian has tried to present in latin america in spanish and by doing so,

it also hopes in directly to also reach spanish speakers that are living beyond lots in america. for example, in the united states where there are millions of spanish speakers or even in the you, in particular in spain. and it's important to stress that state owned russian media outlets like r t are actually banned in the here in union on bonds in the united states. and russia through this strategy actually has at least an interest in gaining more influence in latin america and more influence. why that in the spanish speaking? well, i did want to ask you actually about state and russian, that media outlets like auntie, for example. i mean, how popular are they in last in america, there are several analysis, several studies that have mentioned that despite the fact that in the u and in the us, ok, the has been blocked. it is still frightening in latin america. it's being described as one of the most followed for a new services in the region. if you're specifically look, look at the number of follow us expos, half of pointed out that our team spanish is more popular than oxy in other

languages. that's one important element. and 2nd, that opt in spanish is also more popular than several, but not all of the competitors in the and it's just speaking well, but there's a copy up here. the next person has pointed because follow us is just one element to understand the real influence that a media outcome having a specific region in particular. there's also the argument that follow us could have an authentic as experts call them a means. so basically follow as a not real follow us. and if you look at other elements as well, like for example, the websites, all the apps that i use by media outlets like r t. there are several notices that have pointed, that very influenced in particular, is not as big as may be of the office. so we have to understand the real, to the big picture to see exactly what kind of an influence media all just like to have and not in america. if we can just have a look at the other slides of the coin, i mean, what about pro ukrainian narratives? i mean that they, it will so spreading and less than them are. they are also spreading and that's an american. in fact, we spoke to several analysts in not in america that were really at the month to say

that despite the fact that russian has been opening, he also see not in america pro ukrainian. this information spreading, in particular on the list spectacles in the region, have pointed to pictures and videos that are out of context that try to present very emotional patry optic of statements that favorite, that ukrainian sized and not a list of stressed that in such in cases that kind of this information spread even faster, then they seem to know the cases best eva, russia. so when we look at this, in a more general perspective, we have to see obviously the russian, this information that is spreading, but also the fact that there's this information spreading that actually favors the ukranian side. all right, thomas, thanks so much. that's thomas berry from the don't use fact checking team. thank okay, let's take a look now at some of the other stories making news at this hour and 7 people have been arrested in germany on suspicion of forming a terrorist. so prosecute to say the group had allegedly planned terrorist attacks

and supported the so called as lumnick states. and other 2 people have been arrested in the netherlands. peru has declared a 60 day state as emergency of to it's most active volcanoes, stuff. it's viewing as a gas on tuesday. that would be nice. volcano blue ask more than 5000 maces into the sky, covering a nearby towns with gray powder. some 2000 people live in the affected area surrounding the volcano in your area and 5 for all kit has started. it's final slice off to some delays. the real kit blasted off off from the french gayona carrying satellites from germany and france into all that nearly 3 decades. the area and 5 is, has been a key pulse of the european space agencies launch programs. palestinians in the west bank city of jeanine have held a mass funeral for many of those who died in israel's to day military operation.

the 12 palestinians were killed by as rainy during the tax and rights is ready. military says the dead world militants and is already sold, yet was also killed in the operation. rebuilding assets all underway, often the city so widespread destruction during the 2 day rates holding the dead loft. as they carry them through the streets of janine. thousands of moon is gathered in the city to accompany the bodies of a took the 12 palestinians killed during a 2 day range by d as rainy on me and put them to rest. and while the funerals are taking place elsewhere, citizens are starting to play the rubble. thousands of people were driven from the homes and buildings were destroyed by his riley as strikes. and by the hundreds of

troops that marched into the camp dw report to rebecca riches, observed the efforts to start to rebuild the clean up has the gone. it is on the way to remove the destroyed vehicles and all the debris that has been completely ripped out by the military. and you say there were explosive devices underneath them, and that is why they had to remove most of the page from now i was standing in this very spot a little over a week ago. and i can tell you, it looked a lot different to how it sounds today. israel says that the operation which killed one is really soldier who isn't necessarily cracked down on terra and dry minister benjamin netanyahu said on wednesday that it may not be the last in geneva, the oil. if janine goes back to terrorism, janine, we'll go back to geneva and it will have it faster and stronger than any one imagines we shall move into the maintenance of my own. and if you mean, well,

palestinian delegates new york called on the un security council to help them defend against isabel's actions when they have to do something out of the ordinary . they have to send signatures to the palestinian people that the international community is not abandoning them. as janine, we build a plea for support against another raid by his reading the forces. now switzer has a new rival monk stuck a bugs company mess uh which hosts facebook, instagram and whatsapp has launched its own micro blogging platform cool threats. millions of users have already signed up to the new service in the countries where it is currently available. many uses left twista off that was taken over by e loan mosque last year and underwent major changes. just tyler is a tech reporter in melbourne, australia or,

and he joins us now to explain more about threats. good. see josh. uh, how successful is this new app likely to be? i think it's up to a really good start. i mean, town 10000000 users in a matter of hours. it's got 7 hours since of launched. that is just an incredible to take up. right. and obviously that is aided by the fact that they've been able to let people use the instagram account to log in and follow the accounts that they already followed that. and it is very tweed like already. and it does very much of a very new school energy like a new school day energy going on on the platform. and i think there's a lot of excitement for something that's this different a new and it's, it's interesting to say like, i think i think it has a good chance. but it's one of those things. but when you see new social media companies come into the market, it's really hard to take to tell whether they'll take off. but i think if anyone can do it, meta probably has the track record here to actually make it pick up. okay, so people are excited. it's easy to use. it's not great timing for twits of oh is

it? no, not at all. so i think that the timing is somewhat deliberate older and that, uh, it is interesting that they, it was not that way. so, so the understanding was that this, this product was going to launch at the end of july. they brought it back to this week and then they bought it for another day. and this has come as twitter has made it much harder for people to login in. they've limited people to being able to wait initially age 620 today they've up to 2000. if you're not paying for the subscription, they make the pretty much more features behind the table. there's a lot of people who are disagreeing with the law, must decision to exit a whole bunch of stuff and a lot of the moderation decisions in terms of getting a lot of fall right groups back on to the platform. and, you know, allow them to take speech and a lot of ways that so that i think it's taking a lot of people off and i think that's why matters. realize that this is a good time for them to strike and try and make an editor. okay, we've got to talk about privacy issues that haven't weighed because they, you know,

always good in the way it's known that threads collect sensitive information about uses to, to a profile, a digital activity. is this going to get in the way of its pros? do you think i or i think that will give a lot of people who may be considering sign up for a pause. i think that, you know, obviously i can access it here in australia, but in the you that, that's a different question because you've got much, strict data privacy laws going on this. so i think that's something that will be works for you by, by mid as part of the ongoing discussions that having with the into how they can make that work. but i think it's one of those things where if you're already in the facebook, instagram, what's up a car system and you've already signed up for what they're going to collect on you there. you're probably going to be less likely to be a be hesitant to say what? so somebody apart from the fact that you're getting better a lot more power and i guess a lot more market share. so it's one of those things where i think that we are

using something that it's important for us to, to think about. but ultimately, if you're already in the, in the facebook eco system it's, it's something that i think that people will just kind of accept. so all right, well we'll be watching closely at just taylor in melbourne, australia. thank you so much for your time. i and with that you are up to date on new troops. mckinnon. thanks so much for watching and hopefully cc by the
