reps in the ends of political crimes. in our series guardians of truth watching on youtube dw documentary, the this is dw news live from berlin. the us signals plans to send cluster munitions to ukraine. white house officials say that decision is under active consideration as part of a weapons, a package, although it has not yet made an announcement get. the news raises concerns from human rights. also coming up the whereabouts of prussian wagner. bosky of guinea

for goshen remains unclear. it was thought that he was an exile in bella bruce until the leader, a fellow roost at that promotion is in russia as a social media spots mark sucker burbs meta tape. talk to you on month of twitter with a new social media platform thrive. but just hours after the launch twitter threats to assume that us killing it's tracy, you'll find out how much of a threat to twitter press the sarah kelly. welcome to the program. the us administration is expected to announce an $800000000.00 military, a package for ukraine that could include cluster bombs. no key once the weapons for it's ongoing counter offense,

stuff against russia. but the bombs are highly controversial. they are currently banned by over 120 countries because they can kill indiscriminately over a wide area threatening injuries to civilians. human rights groups are raising concerns about that decision of the graveyard dismissals and hockey's the remnants of russian munition. to have devastated civilian life in pulse of ukraine. among them, the rockets used to launch cluster bones, a large number of small explosives of packed into these containers and released me to with the potential to close extensive damage to an area of the size of a city block such as hit in cost, intuitive cost assist you new cranes dot net screech, and which was his in march this year by cluster bombs. local find, find to is trying to contain the damage undetected cluster munitions that don't

explode, control, so name will kill people decade later on thursday, the pentagon press secretary defended the use of the weapons that is pointing the finger at moscow. so essentially it can be either loaded with shaped charges which are arm or penetrating or they can be loaded with fragmentary munitions, which are anti personnel. so clearly a capability that would be useful in any type of offensive operations. i would note that the russians have already been implying a cluster munitions on the battlefield. human rights watch says base russia and ukraine have used cluster munitions. so fall in the conflict and has cooled for both sides to stop immediately. for more or less pregnant dw, corresponding to connelly who has the view from cave. so nick, the majority of countries in the world have signed this convention banning cluster bombs as in to maine and indiscriminate. how does cube justify using the

controversial webinar? wanting to use it? so 1st of all, among the games that haven't signed the convention of ukraine, the us and the scrutiny rush of that has been using those weapons extensively. so far in this conflict to a great degree than ukraine has because they have these weapons in large numbers. we will have seen russia using band i'm using is like a 1st 1st which is basically looks like fi working is able to run through even a defensive protection through concrete, through other kinds of a trench protection. so this is already not really a to be in that sense is already happening. and they basically would say that this attempt to try and get us to not send these weapons to ukraine, is basically going to just tie ukraine's hands on his back. it would lead to an, a symmetry where russia continues to use these weapons where russia continues to basically use its territory without the fear of western made weapons being used by ukraine gates russian territory with

a situation where russia has one way of plains to attack you cranes for petitions as attempts to counter attack, which ukraine so far hasn't received a this is basically about a small country ukraine trying to defend itself with the same methods that gets attacker is using i'm, i'm just talking to and i always feel the day he said why don't those human rights watch other groups like that, try and get rest that stuff using these weapons. and you know, his prediction was that they just know that this would not achieving the russian to unlock directly. so the only likely outcome of these schools would be for the us, maybe to not send these weapons into ukraine to be near enough position where this will continue for longer. and we're actually without more weapons ukraine, they say, will lose more lives. but this will just take longer than it otherwise would. okay, and nick, you know, add to all of that. one of the key concerns is that cluster bombs are in precise and they tend to leave behind a number of unexploded, munitions that know similar to minds. they could post severe risk to civilians just cheese not share that concern, especially considering that these bonds would be used essentially on territory that

ukraine hopes to recapture. actually being precise. i think it's important to are fair in mind. that's where the fight is going on. now is not just info urban areas . yes, they have been looked specials around place like best move a difficult yes. and that is the place where they're still most civilians who could be at risk from these weapons. but they're also hundreds and hundreds of kilometers on the front lines in the base. the open field, especially in the south, is that what is it where you have the rest of the grains fucking in each of that kind of, you know, would that positions in hedge rose with very little in the way civilians nearby. so these could be, may be limited and they used to these kind of areas where there is less than the way of a challenge of students being hit at least immediately ask for the long term effect . i think most of the senior credit has very severe problems with minds with booby traps, with all kinds of munitions left over. so i think this would just be a for the category of weapons that i left over. i think it's clear to everyone that is going to have to be a huge clean up operation of this war and civilians are constantly being reminded of the dangers of leaving paved roads of leaving the village is going to collect 5

would have going anywhere basically that isn't too much to be safe, so i think that is not so much of a new danger in a situation where people are already living with constant risk with constant stories of people losing legs. other damage to health from these conditions that are just everyone. nic connelly and keith, thank you. and elsewhere, the leader of belo, ruth alexander the shank goes, says, but you have getting precaution, the head of rushes. wagner mercenary group is still in russia with thousands of fighters and not in belgium. ruth, as he's claimed previously, and precaution was suppose to go into exile and bella roost after staging a need. russia. the kremlin says it is not keeping tabs on the back in a box. that way i'll be to. the mystery continues. what would the bid of both of you if you need to go ahead and do wagner? most of the groups boss hasn't been seen publicly since needing an underworld. one

most cool, the guardians 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. no, 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, not from the board. i know for sure. i mean, when you pick asian is a free man. we have right now. he is a 3 man for to new port, loose new or more more i think to him on the so not long ago. let us know what's in there. i think we spoke yesterday after lunch and discussed the next steps involved and as active. it is just to the trouble covered no here yet. business really brushing is teeth tv has shown images of what it sees was a read on precautions, office and residents in st. petersburg, yet

a day after the mutiny russian security services said the phone cache, good weapons, 7 passports, 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. we don't track his movements, we need to have the opportunity, nor do we wish to do that. so if you're doing the mutiny good in a harsh response to those digging part. no, it's not clear what has happened to the man who leaded to come through and on this matter. earlier we spoke with john elijah, or an offer and russia analyst. we asked him why promotion would allow or rather why put in would allow for goshen to enter russia. again. i think i or 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 a new name was the result that frustration of putting it, at least in pretty lives mind, not solving in issue and internal rivalry that he had with a service for the in good. awesome. so and how surprised that we're seeing more ambiguity, 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. and the russian lead. no, yeah. what, what exactly is going to happen, and they're still probably thinking through it. and here's a look now at some of the stories making news, this, our ukraine's president followed him or zalinski is in prague for talks with the check president, petra, pa, the it is the latest stop abroad for the landscape after he visited bulgaria. he next heads to turkey for talks with president type here to one is really forces

have rated a settlement in the occupied westbank after and is really soldier was shot dead by a palestinian gunman. militant groups from us says that the killing was in response to israel's earlier large scale rates in the city of jeanine. israel said that it had neutralized the shooter for rose government has declared a state of emergency after a volcanic eruption in the country. south emergency crews are setting up shelters and preparing to relocate. thousands of people that will be nice. volcano has been spewing ashan toxic gas. it also registered dozens of explosions in recent days. the volcanoes last major a russian was in 2019 a. twitter has threatened to sue rival company mete just hours after the launch of its new messaging platform threats. according to us media reports,

twitter has accused matter of unlawfully using its trade secrets by hiring former employees. within 30000000 users have signed up for 2 threads so far, the platform is not available in the european union due to data regulations. declaring rivalry between 2 of the tech world's biggest names is escalating. innovation, weeks, 11 must 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. threads launch comes with a critical time for to a to a sense of crisis has persisted. ever since being on muskets. okay, the last october content motivation slashed more than half of it 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 threads has a built in potential audience of over 2000000000 users. an early blog has been brought in from it's up to, i can tell you, called at the must imply a ways to it's a is confused. it's down uses, diagnose what's happening, what the state to say is how they relate to. so it's a anymore in london below, it says mac mix reactions among social media uses day's notice as we have a major problem for social media. and right now, i think to just have it stay, i think i just see a kid theater for a while. it's been around with it matches and so i live up to, the hype remains to be seen, the company ended c,

e o. come with conspiracies of the own, such as the leaking of hoss ability in use of data in 2021. nevertheless, it's, it's still the biggest challenge to, to invest. 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. and ethan foreigner is a professor in the school of media and public affairs at george washington university. we have to miss threads, had a real shot at success, the changes which hence the 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 in class and threats as a chance to the throne, twitter, in a way that nested on other platforms of not to well also when thursday germany is alexandra square as advanced to the 2nd round at wimbledon,
