explosion. we lived near the cathedral. we flew up, ran to the toilet, and then there was another explosion. the house was shaking and i went outside. i thought maybe someone needs help in recent days, pressure has increase it, set x one or the size for it and for us stuck to you. and it comes after president ballade them. important refuse to renew a deed which allowed the safe export of cream from ukraine's lexi boards up to saturday nights and these i love tags. can you canadian president, the med zalinski vote to to dallied police? what do you wanna do? meanwhile, russian president vladimir putin has begun to days of talks with his closest ally, alexander lucas, jacob. it's the 1st time they have met since the bell of ocean leader helped the broker a deal to end

a mutiny by wagner finders inside russia last month. speaking in saint petersburg, whitaker, franco said the wagner fighters, many of whom are now invalid, is wanted to go to the west suggesting they could reach was on him. he said that russia is war against ukraine, needed to be fought against all of nato. meanwhile, and claim that ukraine's counter offensive had failed. and that 4 and volunteers fighting for ukraine had suffered heavy losses. for more on that meeting, let's cross over to dw corresponded. maria, cut them outside in rica, as dw is banned from russia. maria, we understand prudent, and lucas shan't go build this tetra, tad as dealing with security in the region. what else is on the agenda as well? 2 leaders talked about the situation with fucking a grouping bell. ruth, as well as the situation that they felt a rush and polish border. luca shanker,

kicked out of the meeting by showing the knock, which she saw indicated pullman's plan to attack bellows. and therefore, it's popular russia, the narrative of possible name, nate and version has been used widely by both leaders, especially after the invasion of ukraine. well, obviously buckner was one of the main topics as well. so lucas shank aside that the paramilitary group appears to be in a bad mood and wanted to go on quote, an excursion into poland to talk supply route. so 1st thing weaponry to ukraine, but he's trying to hold them back the fucking of fighters. this is a very kind of lucas chunk of style statement, where he apparently is controlling nato countries and try so 3, g a, c is in poland. overall, this meeting was aimed at once again, demonstrate the unity and so a strong positive partnership between means got the most crow. mm. are as you well

know, after it's failed, meet me. in russia, the wagner mercenary group is set to be training valuation. soldiers in beller is do we know why it was the future of wagner? group and valor was still very unclear. and quite maggie, the training of for soldiers in valor is, could be a signal that means you may consider engaging in the war in ukraine. but we should probably take this statement uh with a page with a pinch of uh, sold. so it's important to remember that lucas shine cuz she usually dependent on the kremlin after stolen and lock something 2020. when puts an essentially helps him retain his presidential seats and the lucas bank of suicide. he owes a lot of the reports in but still from the beginning of the russian invasion, lucas sank and strides to play smotts and the void engaging in the war. there are some experts who believe that folks could start operations from galleries from

north making and fighting in the east and in the south, more trouble of magic for the ukrainians. there is also an opinion that walker forces will not play major role in ukraine anymore, especially in the light of 3 since right and unpredictability, of what you're getting pre collision. also, the fact that the russian ukrainian border is kind of heavily mind can cause a problem for wagner. and understandably of the focus now is on ukraine. but um, we should not forget the bug not has other regions where it's also operates on behalf of the kremlin. and for instance, on the african continent where funding to help small sco project its power and advance. it's a economic kind of jo, political interest, so that could be also one of the options for wagner. dw corresponded maria kind of mazda in riga. thanks me. of the party of long time,

cambodian prime minister, who in san has declared as landslide victory in an election that excluded the main opposition party. critics have called the poll a force of democracy after ruling the country for nearly 4 decades. when sen now says he's ready to hand power to his son, and he is the big winner of the selection. forestall general holden mindset. the son of current lead a concern. he's expected to inherit the position of prime minister from his father in just a few weeks. all you had to say today about his future plans was this, the come in on the ruling can body and people's party needing to worry about the elections that were. the only serious opposition party was disqualified on a technicality. while the 9700000 people are registered to vote, despite the lack of competition, some are hopeful of what new leadership might bring. i mean by it

a good job. i'm not sure what is actual plan is for the future. but what i hope is that who minute will improve our livelihood in gentlemen are doing. i want him to reduce the corruption of the grass roots level. don't make people suffer if you can achieve bit. i'm happy to take this wide step long uh, new products, i hope the new government will improve the health care system up without a problem. they will also need to improve the education system and bring down the price for studying. no, i know my a problem with that, but the all the lice with curves on communication, voter intimidation, and the band or position the list of violations as long as capt international election monitors the way few absorbers. i was surprised that none of the 17 other small, poorly funded parties have a realistic chance of success the most up to a reason station or on the other both of the television. uh they, uh,

the businessman who i close was driving is the oh, the ruling body in, in cambodia. this is the reason that a position party, they do not have opportunity a praise and about uh for me to call up that phone to the public or to devote one that was educated in the united states and britain having gained a legislative seat, he's eligible to become prime minister, but it's not clear how much change that would bring. you never really retire from politics is what they say in cambodia. and it also applies to the country's leader, hans, and even if he is to handle the power to his eldest son. soon after this election, he's expected to remain the president of the commodity and people's party and pull strings from behind the scenes. some sports now and at the women's world cup france and jamaica god group f. underway with a goal this draw in sidney frances, a cottage on came closest. you're breaking the deadlock, but her late header hit 1st,
