the starts of august 25th on dw, the tennessee that we news long silverland evidence is mounting that larger change you've given you for goes and then brushing authority, saying the mercenary leader who challenge the kremlin was on a plane that crashed near moscow with no survivors. is that could have why, reaching consequences, but there are doubts about the trustworthiness and there was the

comfortably. it's good to have you with us. if gaming for a goes, it was once one of let them in fulton's most important allies. now, the leader, the wagner mercenary group, is believed to be that russian authorities say, for corrosion was listed as a passenger on a flight up craft, on route from last down to st. petersburg. all 10 people on board the private jet were reported retail. a telegram channel affiliated with wagner is also same for corrosion died in the cross. none of these reports, however, has been independently verified. this all comes exactly 2 months after wagner, 5 years launched in a board of mutiny against russia's military leadership. it was seen as the most serious challenge to president fluttering for service. he took power also

at short length or belly and precautions whereabouts of an unknown and his fate has been a subject of intense speculation. it was initially so on. he had gone to buy a ruse as part of an amnesty deal, but just 2 days ago he resurfaced in english, french video and circulated online that appeared to show him in africa. wagner maintains a strong military presence there and, and the video progression seemed to indicate that it was business as usual, before his mercenary group. you go to the room with going to be sure your call earlier and spoke to me. that way is russian affairs analyst, konstantin, and god. and he had more details on this developing story. oh, we do know that the bank a group headquarters in st. petersburg, lead top of the facade of the building with a huge cross dusk, indicating that some of their top people died. of speculations, indeed intense as to what happened to the play. and the lot of russian accommodate

is a point to the fact that the plane was shrunk down, not fall from pigeons, one of many pollutants, a residence is in russia. and this time between moscow in saint petersburg in the area of fall died. there are indeed a c, s 300. a defense systems are installed to protect fruits. and so basically, if it is true that they play pretty goddess play shut down by their defense missiles, it is very difficult to imagine that a kind of major defense unit could have operated there without food coverage and food knowledge of the russian on for us as a as to the as to regarding himself of the russian invasion authority published a list of people that were alleged leaks on the plane and pretty garden,

as well as a wagner himself. his real name was to meet the old king of the creates of the formal office of greed about the group before a pretty garden to cover his financing was also on board. so it seems that's essentially what we used to know as a bodily group of was a very indeed dead was decapitated by these crush. what have reactions and rush open to the crush. oh, it's interesting. some people registered the lots of, but there is lots of lots of video to prove to that. is that for example, in a cafe that was frequented by a big garden in saint petersburg, there are flowers keeping it a sheepy up at the doorstep. uh, that is a game intended speculation on the russian telegram channels on twitter, everywhere as to actually whether it be gordon really was so strange that this put

a, put it like that as to fly in a plane together with the leadership of the group i. e, in case something happens, uh, the group will indeed be decapitated by the government could have undertaken this of this step. but the most interesting thing that's been turned in the last few hours is that it seems that pretty garden indeed returned from africa because he wanted to reach out to the russian, meet the leadership. and probably to put some a to come to the rules by the g r. u, the russian, a defense of sort of minister ministry of defense intelligence directly up to t k. well, the whole mercenary business in africa, if it did indeed. so it is indeed so then probably pretty gordon was like watching a lot of harvey. but again, this is just speculation. the data we use constantly against their lunch is still unknown about you have game for goes in stage, but in his home city of st. petersburg or wagner group has,

is headquarters. supporters have the gunner acting, a makeshift moral for the mercenary. lead for goes and story is a remarkable one. he rose from selling st. food to become patient's personal shift . and the problem is growing power as a mercenary leader eventually became clear during rush as invasion of ukraine until as ultimate phone, from faith for a few hours that looked like you have any pre goes, you can post a real threat to russian president vladimir putin hold on power the world watched in suspense. as precautions, wagner mercenary group seized control and rushed upon, done one of southern rushes biggest cities, and then dance north towards the capital must go. then several hours later, pre collision suddenly called off the operation. he said he wanted to prevent bloodshed and that his intent was never to overthrow the government. the way up

till that mutiny, pre goshen was seen as a loyal ally of the kremlin leader. after serving a prison sentence for robbery, pre collision worked his way up to a successful restaurant owner in saint petersburg, earning him the nickname put in chef. eventually it led to catering contracts for the russian government. his next business venture was quite different. the founding of private militia, known as the wagner group in 2014 the same year rush legally and ex crime jo from ukraine frequency and also established a media group including a troll factory. the united states and other countries accused of trying to interfere in the elections as after rushes full scale invasion of ukraine faltered . pre collision began hiring thousands of soldiers, including convicts to fight in wagner units eating the crumbling wherever they are . perhaps biggest triumph was taking the eastern ukrainian city of buck mode. after months of fighting and not in which watches regular army had been unable to prevail

over ukraine out for some of those automatic lot. but as pre gushing found himself more and more in the spotlight, he used it to rail against russia's military leadership and its conduct of the war . so that the, including the accusation that was not providing his mercenaries with ammunition. i want it and he's pretty good things. viewed with the civilian leadership escalated when he refused to let his biters be put under defense ministry command when i bought it in your boat. and so pre collision is launched. what he called a march for justice. i mean, we came here to put an end to the disgrace of our country. this year is a 1st step. what we're doing is right. it's to save russia. in moscow, a shocked vladimir putin called at treason a stab in the back in the middle of war. can you just to me to eat any internal tom or alex you as a deadly threat twice, statehood for me to be to us as

a nation? no metric is not, this is a blow. so russia and so all people, but not from one and all actions to protect the fatherland from such a threat did you will be tough through, with just with as muted near boarded, pre gushing love, trust about done to cheering crowds. but the weekend of chaos had looked at precarious future for himself and his wagner empire. now, washington correspondent janelle and malone has more on the white house response to the reports of precautions to slow. we know that the white house has breeze the joe biden, not much else coming from the white house, but thought, but joe biden himself made comments in lake tahoe, where he said that although he doesn't know exactly what happened, he's not surprised. he also pointed out that very little happens in russia, the vladimir putin is not behind. so that tells us a little bit about who and joe biden's mind is responsible for this. now he's also

been known to make jokes about what might happen to pre goshen a months ago at a press conference in helsinki. he said that if you were for goes and he'd be watching what he ate, he'd be looking very carefully at the menu, alluding there, perhaps to the kremlin a link to the allegedly crumbling link poisoning of critics and defendants. as far as i know, however, there have been no jokes about playing crushes so perhaps there is room for surprise. there were minus 2000000 because a lot has happened in the past 2 months. and how did you us react when it goes and love that new me against prove you know, at the time of the mutiny of the u. s. took a very circumspect line. it took pains to say that the u. s. was not involved in any way. and brand it as an internal russian matter. they also continuously

reassure, a new crane that support for ukraine remains unwavering. whatever happened in russia, and i wouldn't be surprised if that language resurface is, is the next hours. and in the next days, we're already starting to see on social media that there are your theories about potential us involvement along side series, about how pre corrosion might have stage, these crosses himself, and in so doing faked his own desk. this is the sort of situation that gives rise to a lot of wild speculation. as such, we can imagine that the west will do its best to stay above the fray and beside behind of stores what these developments mean. a for us security policy, not just towards ukraine to, but towards the areas where walter was active like in this, a hell and central africa as there's a way of correspond engine down to a line and washington. thank you so much. let's now look at some other headlines from around the world. former trump lawyer,
