and the people behind a verb and catastrophe. climate change starts july 13th on dw, the dw news live and from berlin tonight, the mercenary mystery. where is the russian wagner boss, give guinea for goshen. we thought that he was inside the roof until today when the leader of beller. ruth said that for goshen is probably in russia. also coming up a russian rocket strike of the ukrainian city of la v blue hills, at least 5 people, the mayor. they're saying,

this is the biggest attack on the cities infrastructure since the invasion began. plus, we'll look at how it rushes. this information more about ukraine is reaching a big audience. thanks to espanol and martin sucker birds. meta taking on ill on must twitter with a new social media platform thread 1000000. tim already signed up the library got to our viewers watching on cbs in the united states and to all of you around the world. welcome, the whereabouts of you have getting for goes and the head of rushes. wagner mercenary group, or unclear to 9, the leader of bella, ruth's alexander lucas, jacob says, for goshen is in russia probably with thousands of fighters and that he's not in

bill of bruce. as we had believed to be the case. the kremlin says it is not keeping tabs on the whereabouts of the wagner balls. how do i peer to? the mystery continues. what would the bid about of you if you need to go ahead and do wagner must entity groups boss hasn't been seen publicly since needing an underworld on multiple because it had reported the travel to better was that's part of a deed with the russian president vladimir putin following the mutiny he led last month, you know, but out of his liter, alexander lucas shingle, says, precaution, isn't russia not in his country as he had previously came to you for those records and the cords? it's up. so look, no, yes, no books, no, i'm not on the board. i know for sure. i mean, when you pick asian is a free man. we have right now. he is an f 3 months, puts a new port in this new one more more i think to him on the so not long ago,

let us know what to do. i think we spoke yesterday after lunch and discussed the next steps involved in his activities. just to the trouble cover business mainly impression is to tv has shown the images of what it sees was a read on precautions, office and residents in st. petersburg. yet a day after they moved any pressure and security services said default gosh, good weapons. several possible and big potentially enabling him to travel, but the false identity. but they could, i mean, see, is it is not following the wagner chief mean. you repeat, we're trying to track his movements. we need to have the opportunity. no 3 wish to do that for a child. it's during the mutiny food in patton, a harsh responded to those digging pot. oh no, it's not clear what has happened to the men who let it come to war

now, enjoyed by john legendary. john is an author, his book on new rushes, wagner mercenary group is due out next year. john is going to have you back with this. we are getting some reports that for goshen is moving back and forth between russia and bela bruce based on what you know about the wagner group. it is leader. how. how realistic is that? sure, and thank you for having me again. i think it is probably pretty realistic at this point. i different nothing just pre goes and is likely concerned about his own personal safety. and despite some of the rare that we've seen both in batteries and russia and so i wouldn't be surprised if he's trying to move back and forth and just kind of key people like us guessing exactly where yes, there is a lot of guessing going on, particularly about the, the, the motives of vladimir putin in this. why didn't you think the russian president

would allow for going to come back into the country? it's a great question. i think at the very least, part of why we saw me in the 1st place. it is because we know that planning or putting does not like to make difficult decisions, and he'll often delay an prevaricates until the last moment. and part of what we saw with the mutiny was the result that frustration of putting it, at least in pretty good as mine, not solving an issue in an internal rivalry that he had with his service or the in the last month. so i'm not surprised that we're seeing more ambiguities, the, the kind of the, these types of decision making hours won't be just switched on overnight. and i'm not sure that really precautions were necessarily those in the russian lead. no. yeah. what, what exactly is going to happen and they're still probably thinking through it. how

do you read what we've been seeing on russian state t v, and that is video of police in st. petersburg have they reportedly rated the residence of provision and they found goals. they found money, they found wiggs fake passports. do you see that as an attempt to you have destroyed the public image of production? oh i, i certainly think that it is an attempt to destroy precautions. public image within russia itself is some of the furniture almost looks like a scene out of the scar france. and i'm sure a lot of russians are very familiar with ninety's action movies. and so it was certainly resonate with that with a lot of people, whether or not everything was there in that mansion were, were planted as well. you know, it's probably something that we may actually never know, but at the very least we,

we can be safe that it was designed to embarrass. and what about the so just for hire the wagner mercenaries, you know, we understood that there had been an offer for them to also go to bella bruce and that they would not face any criminal charges. what are you hearing? indeed, what's the status of that? no, we're, we are most of the soldiers for hire tonight. well, i think most of our, our hardware today they have been, i don't think that we have seen serious movement there. there's been some reports that perhaps some wagner fighters have left the central african republic, but we're not sure whether and that's just part of a normal location or something that is different. i think uh most, most people would agree, i think, at this point that the majority of wagner fighters are either where they were stationed in libya. molly central asking republic or awesome. and can you grant

this point, john, lunch me is always john. good talking with you. we appreciate your time and your insights. thank you. thanks for having a russian missile strike on the western ukrainian city of la v. that's killed at least 5 people in injured dozens. more now it's far from the front lines. it's in the west of ukraine, and yet leave has come under repeated attack. the mayor of the city says that this is the heaviest onslaught of the cities civilian infrastructure since the start of the war. ukrainian president zalinski as promised what he called a tangible response. the shoke written all over that faces neighbors, friends and family dead will find li, injured, a community fall from the front line. but now at the center of this devastating will you,

russians are heading us. that's how they like us. i'm sorry for those people who were killed. they were young, so sorry for them. in tie of flows of this apartment building and live be destroyed, cause turned into twisted scraps of metal. i came back and found out that my mother had died. my neighbors had died. this point, it seems that i was the only one who survived from the 4th floor. it's a miracle list, which is the worst if it wasn't for the rescue, whereas we wouldn't have got highs of the apartment. they broke down the door and less of size. i have no apartment, nothing. i can't talk anymore. i'm left with eyes anything. ukraine says russia attack lives with cruise missiles, which will launch from the black sea. it says 7 was shot down with 3 go through.

as you can see, the main restroom go is, of course, the destruction of the ukrainian people business. oh to the day that. but we live when we are holding onto the search for survivors continues. as does the clean up these people's lives will never be the same. again. the bind administration has decided to supply ukraine with cluster bombs, as part of the new weapons package that set to be announced on friday. a cluster bombs, which were also used in syria, civil war release. large numbers of smaller explosions that can kill and named indiscriminately over a wide area within a 120 countries and banned the weapons. the group, human rights watch says both russia and ukraine have used cluster munitions. in this more i asked our washington bureau chief in his po, what's behind this?

what else can i do to? is it just said we're expecting to hear an announcement tomorrow. that'd be united states plans to send cluster munitions for $155.00 millimeter. how it's a canyon's, it was other weapons as well. so brand, this announcement does not only come days before the nato summit next week, and when you slip renier. but also at the moment when presidents and then ask is blaming russia that they might be targeting the sufferer news on nuclear power plant. one of the biggest in europe, and accordingly, that could lead to a cause, cost or fee and wide parts of euro. so this announcement will be another commitment from the us from president biden, to support ukraine a to support their spring or summer offensive, even though as you just mentioned, human rights groups worldwide condemn the usage of this class to unison. yeah,

cluster bombs are definitely controversial. talk to me a little bit more about what the reaction has been there in the us or in washington to this news. all right, so 1st of all, um, do you also said that in other news sources kind of uh, also say that both countries to grain and joshua are already using those accessible and so that's not really new to the battle field. however, to kind of get a little bit of context how these work. so class of mutants are kind of conventional explosives that break apart and slide and scatter bump let's. and they are called stop munitions. and they have to so if this reputation has an especially ugly weapon of war because of the danger, they oppose to civilians. and not only that is not all of the submitted. sup your nation explodes when it hits the ground. it is also kind of compared to land mines as they can explode, years later if someone steps on them and that often are children and women. so

these are reasons why most of the european countries, germany included, have banned the use of cluster bombs. so this decision will cost a lot of controversy tomorrow, and we definitely do go to the press conference conferences and challenge the decisions and ask for the reasons behind it is useful with the leaves. nice washington, as always, thank you. us. russia is not just using bombs and missiles against ukraine, it's international propaganda. war has been deploying half truths. rumors and this information and language here is no barrier with more than 500000000 speakers. spanish is key to generating a pro russian narrative. 6 of june, 2023. the nova halls got them collapses, and 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 2022. the tweet blames ukrainians for the exposure and latest 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, here's the true nazi, 50 percent. more often since the invasion and according to experts, there's a reason for this. also, the, let's in america, it's a very quick way of generating rejection towards the government by linking it to not systems. another major disinformation narrative focuses on to lensky himself

. is crediting ukraine's president as a person and politician to legitimize the war this video, which was few thousands of times, claims the lensky ones, the war to continue as a reaction european probably been terry and to leave the session. but this claim is false. a reversed image search and the science on the tables lead us to the origin of the video, an austrian paul even session earlier this year. here politicians of the far right austrian s p policy that leaves the room during the speech presidency. however, he didn't say that he wanted the war to continue. but why is the lensky often a target himself fits so now you have a language realizing brushes war on a character and discrepancy. that character is an ad hominem operation, that propaganda awesome employees will find that. and after that major narrative focuses on infectious, they have become an important tool of russian propaganda in spanish. recent studies

shows of the 15 most were tweeted accounts surveyed 7 for independent 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 follow ups. the goal hosting support for the russian government did not fluid yet instead, and she has been doing so throughout the course of the war year. she's explaining how well russians are rebuilding my review for the city and south east and ukraine . this claim is misleading to 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, such as invoices tend to be more credible is that might,

could be tough truth 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 languages for russian propaganda. all right, let's take a look now. some of the other stories that are making headlines around the world. your brains, it president goldman zalinski is in prague for talks with the president of the czech republic. it's the latest stop abroad for zalinski you. earlier in the day made his 1st official visit to bulgaria. so lensky heads to turkey on friday for talks with president richard play of air to why you crate in rush. i have announced a prisoner exchange involving $45.00 soldiers from each side. the crane released video with the freed ukrainian service,

been at an undisclosed location and said that some of the freed prisoners had fault in moria pole and at the as of stall steel play. nato chief in stilton back said sweden could join the alliance edits summit in lithuania next week. the foreign ministers of sweden and turkey have been meeting in brussels. turkey. you may recall, as opposed to sweden's membership, accusing it of harboring terrorists. stone and berg says the sweden has made changes to meet our needs to me. the operator of the submersible which imploded well and diving to the wreck of the titanic, has suspended its operations indefinitely. ocean gate was planning to more expeditions to the wreckage site. next year, all 5 people on board the titan. many submarine were killed when it's employed. twitter has a new arrival mark the sucker burges company matter,

which also on facebook, instagram and whatsapp is launched its own micro bogging platform and it's called threads. $30000000.00 users have already signed up for the service. twitter is now threatening to suit, met of the big living lives will be between 2 of the tech wells biggest names is escalating innovation, weeks 11, musk and democracy took about a cup publicly traded. bob's with musk even tweeting a challenge to a cage fight with his rival. so that is a new mike club looking at from facebook parent company. meta, it's look, is very similar to, to a, to where the feet of pers, featuring text photos and videos allowing users to interact in real time. so ads launch comes at the critical time for to a, to a sense of crisis has persisted. ever since the loan mosque took over last october, that content motivation slashed more than half of its stuff, fired,

and some of its biggest advertising is concerned by a stream of technical glitches. and sudden policy announcements. as an instagram spin of threats has a built in potential audience of over 2000000000 users. an early blog has been brought in from it's up to can, can we call it the? must imply a ways to it's a is confused, it's down uses. don't know what's happening, what the state to say is how they relate to switzer anymore. in london, the launch has met because mixed reactions among social media users. i don't know if that's being part of the media and social media out right now. but i think to just have it stay, i think i'll just see, keep theater for awhile. then if i run over that with a message, somebody will live up to, the hype remains to be seen. the company ended c e o come with control overseas of

the own, such as the leaking of hoss ability and use of data in 2021. the. nevertheless, it's, it's still the biggest challenge, the trick to invest saw. and so there is hoping to see the to tech titans tested in a cage. they will just have to settle for threads versus twitter instead. how successful will threads be? i put that question to ethan porter. he's a professor specializing in this information at george washington university. the change of the chances of success are much higher. thread is building, i mean, normally successive instagram threads is easy to use. and threads allows users to import their existing social networks from instagram. to my mind it's night and class on threads has a chance to deter on twitter in a way that and asked it on other platforms of not it what, what language that would be used. i mean with twitter, we say we've,

we've tweeted stuff that we posted a tweet. what would we say on threats? we've threaded something. the what language where you? yes, i suppose using the front of something or posting something. the thread is, um is a good bit. but look, if that's the biggest problem that this platform has, then this platform is going to be a massive success. so now they're going to be questions about what the cost of that success comes at. but again, the strength is looking like the clear competitor to twitter and do you think that's why we've, we've heard mark sucker burger saying basically the line must have his chance to turn twitter into something bigger and he blew it. and now, you know, i'm here with red. yeah. there with that confidence is coming from as yeah. i think there's little doubt among those of us who follow twitter that must cause presided

over a period of failure for the company. the platform has, has black revenue. it's no longer a service fun and for you really place it once was in oftentimes twitter, the focus is on the lot of musk itself, himself in ways that are pretty unusual. i'm threads offers the problem is there's something lighter or easier, similar to instagram, without all the most drama. the old kid can we, you know, get on threads without worrying about our information being taken. i mean, we know that instagram wants to have facebook, you know, they're all part of the same company. we know the history that meta has when it comes to that, that'd be that. why would we think that threads is, is any safer for our private data? sure, i think is a really good question. so those of us who monitor and this information and this information have often been critical of facebook policies. but let me be clear,

the policies of facebook, meta emitted general, are vastly superior on this front to twitter as policies under most. so if you're worried about data security, i think you're right to be, but i think you'd be much, you'd be more right to be more concerned about twitter under most. i've got 30 seconds left. what do you say again about the european union? it doesn't. we weren't, we don't have threads in the app store available right now. and it's because of this worry about what happens to your data is the you being um. yeah. over worried here as a class. but again, i think it makes a lot of sense to be cautious and skeptical as a policy makers of air in the past. and they haven't been cautious enough about social media. so i, you know, i think it's, it's great to, to, to the pause button. i mostly that the regulators in the us also might take a look at met his behavior here on regulatory concerns and he thinks has concerns.

i think that's likely to be a developing story over the next few months. even border george washington university. either we appreciate your time and your insights tonight that will be taking you as you thread. thank you. all right, history and outer space. europe's oregon. a 5 rock. it has started its final flight . it blasted off from french piano carrying satellites from germany and france into orbit for more than 20 years. the arianna rocket has played a key role in the european space agency is program. and here's a look back now, and some of the rockets biggest missions about the re on 5 pieces workhorse rocket for over 2 decades now. after some early failures in the 19 ninety's had turned into one of the most reliable launch vehicles in the industry. this final slide carrying 2 satellites, one french, one german will be the series $117.00 commission earlier ones included ground

breaking science expeditions. like the launch that carried the rosetta space probe, which went on to liaise with a comment and land on one. for the 1st time for the db colombo mission, a 7 year journey to mercury, it's paired satellites will only settle into a stable orbit around the solar systems in are most planted in late 2025. and then there was the area on 5 as most famous passenger, the james web space telescope, which within just months after launch begin delivering stunning pictures of the universe around us. of the already on 6 will replace the area on 5 is the european heavy lift rock and of choice. it's 3 stage design will be able to heave over 20000 kilograms into low earth orbit. and around half that payload into higher g o. stationary orbits had a significantly lower cost,

then it's predecessor, it's development, however, has been marked by delays and it still isn't clear when the already on 6 will go up . for the 1st time. we are not mentioning yet a long show date to a launch period. we're having some good the code thanks because milestone to it was i'm a especially also 2 of the best that i did i my probation and these 2 tests, of course we did define and to do, i mean on the, for the focus of a good thing do you have an 6 launcher for its, you know, go through the flight, the launch bed. but for now it's time to say good bye to a legendary rock at the already on 5 will be a tough act to follow high up into the arts atmosphere. and to beyond the day is up next. the

sco keys jen policy. do you know what that is? no. no, no. it eats up a 3rd of the entire, you budget we explained the what,

why and half the focus on your 60 minutes on dw, the maybe things are going to get in comes to listen, not fears, comedy from pakistani women pretty to shake up the image of their generation, some topics are still tab, but these comedians are pushing the boundaries of free speech. humor, again, sexism, concerns, women, rise up in reporter this weekend on dw, i'm not, i love mastering. i've loved her since the beginning because of her character

because of her courage and how she thinks the screen. so today, wise mother annoyed for nearly 4 decades. she's for peace for me, for brace of freedoms in their homeland. they run in spite of love, very true tries or children should not inherit science from us the an income if you look into how nice just the task july 29th on w. you have denny goshen. the russian leader of the wagner mercenaries was last seen in public. on june 24th. the day he avoided an armed mutiny headed from us scale. and we were told that there'd been a deal that he'd move to bill a roof which a date, the leader of bell, the ruth said that he's not here. troy russia. at the same time russian state tv reported st. petersburg.
