is the, this is the, the news live from ballot the kremlin, stay silent about the fight. so see if get any precautions as the rest of the world . presume that wagner and see find his deputy were killed in a plane crash. the event is widely been seen as an assessing nation and german is foreign minister says it's no coincidence, suspicion is following on the credit. also on the program, the breaks group of countries invites 6 new members to join, including saudi arabia, any rock,

but old members publicly expressed support for admitting the new comments that had been divisions over the scope and the speed of the expense, the i'm good. how about how's welcome to the program? the lead of russians, wagner must in every group is presumed dead. there has been no official comment from the criminal. investigators have been coming to the crash site for evidence. if any pretty guardian was one of the allowed them to put in the most important allies until he fell out of favor of the leading a rebellion against the most cons. military leadership in june, russian authorities, sy precaution, was listed as a passenger on a flight that crashed on route from moscow to send to petersburg to 10 people about this aircraft when it crashed and the deep a region north west of moscow. all of them 7 passengers and 3 group members who

reportedly killed russian aviation authorities, se wagner groups chief of gave me pretty goshen was on the passenger list. but the kremlin has not confirmed his deb. it really depends whether this is actually the boss or somebody traveling under the name of you get a new precaution because we know the precaution used and yes is a rather people who assumed his name in order to travel as part of his security measures in order to obfuscate his probable plans and to conceal where he actually was. in saint petersburg, reports of precautions that have spread and some portals have been gathering to pay tribute to the fall. and he ro, goshen was born in saint petersburg, where he late the met vladimir putin and became a close ally. in 2014, he found that the wagner must and every group which took it some gruesome tactics

to countries around the world. and is accused of commenting wall crimes. in molly, the central african republic and syria, to appear to the wagner group, also played a major role in russia on ukraine up in capturing buckling in june the golden stage. the mutiny again specials, military leadership. it was shock live, and many observers assumed the off to the move. his life was in danger. including us president joe, by the new president, he ever reacted. i don't know. do you think? i don't know enough. meanwhile, russia has started a criminal investigation into the plane crash. as for the confirmation of the

golden step, all eyes remain on the kremlin. let's get some more of this now from the military analyst mark counts in from the center for strategic and international studies. now it pretty goes, it really is did what kind of message do you think this sense to put things, rivals or military leaders? it clearly sends a message that rebellion will not be acceptable, that he is exerting control over the military and also the militias. and that anyone who takes him on does so at their own parent. now is that it's sean set. the wagner mercenaries make any further power moves, including against regular russian troops. i think of that at this point, it's very unlikely, much of the leadership of wagner was on the aircraft. and then in addition to provision presumably then for instance, what, what can oh,

who was really his military commander was on there along with some other senior leaders. so the leadership of wagner has really been wiped out. a lot of it has been dispersed. many wagner troops have joined the military. the russians have been clamping down pretty hard on wagner. so there will be something that comes out of this may be a bug or 2 point. oh, but it will be under type of government control. okay, so that will be no independent group. like the one the bach know was in the future . you think? absolutely not. i think the russians have learned their lesson about militias that are not under their firm control. they move to exert control of the remnants of wagner and other military organizations. and so no, i don't think you'll see anything like this again before. do you think this will influence the find thing in ukraine?

i don't think so. oliver right now. wagner has pulled out entirely from ukraine, are almost entirely, i don't think they have any troops on the front lines. so there's not gonna be any immediate change here. i think that there, they may not be able to use the military groups like this as much in the future, but the was very helpful. but in terms of the near term though, i think that the war will go on. unfortunately, on the way it's been going on for the last couple of weeks and some of this around the small country in the thank you very much. i so thanks for having me on the show that's have a look now at some of the other news headlines. and most kyle, a cold has extended the detention of us journalist, evan gosh, could which by another 3 months the wall street journal reported was arrested in the box on espionage charges which carry a 20 year sentence desk of which enters,

employed and 90 allegations. and the us government has declined to him to be wrongfully detained. president, below them is lensky mach ukraine's independence. the sermon in keith, it also comes exactly 18 months off to the stock of rushes full scale invasion. so that'd be used the occasion to praise the soldiers fighting against russian forces . ukraine declared its independence from the soviet union on this day in 1991 to the us. now at donald trump has been no stranger to the inside of a court room since he left the oval office. the full month us president has been indicted in 4 separate court cases. the chandra stem from his handling of classified documents to his role in the failed january 6 sold on the us capital. now he said to turn himself into authorities and what could be the most legally

dangerous case against them is josh was conspiracy to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election for donald trump? it was just another one of his perfect presidential moments. what's going on in this country is it, by the way, once would that me for a perfect phone call. this was even better than my perfect call with you for a number that call. that was a perfect call. this one's better. this one is more perfect. i challenge the election in georgia, which i have every right to do. what for georgia prosecutors and the men and women of a grand jury. it was the start of a criminal conspiracy stolen. they've slipped the former us president an 18 others with 41 charges over their attempt to overturn job items when in the 2020 presidential election. while the results were still being certified, trump was recorded, putting pressure on georgia officials to find a new votes. look, well i want to do is this. i just want to find

a 11780 loads, which is one more that we have. many of his co defendants are accused of legitimately claiming to be official electors and signing fig election certificates in favor. of donald trump, they're all being charged under the state to rico laws. the same laws used to prosecute organized crime. trump is set to turn themselves into georgia authorities at this jail and will be released on $200000.00 bound until this official arrangement, which is expected sometime in september. it will be the 4th arrangement for trump since leaving the white house, submitting his spot in the history books. as the only former president charged with breaking the law. the brakes group of nations has announced that will expand its membership. as its 5 con members hoped to boost the global influence brazil, russia, india, china,

and south africa will formally invite 6 additional members to join the economic lines. at the start of 2024, the argentine of egypt, ethiopia, iran, and saudi arabia and the united arab emirates. the announcement came on the final day of the block summit in johannesburg. and from all the bricks announcement entered on his blog. hans brands joins me now . in the studio, a $106.00 admissions announce today, including iran and saudi arabia. and it wasn't really a surprise. the names were being tended, all kinds of around it would be for the summit already. one knew that there were 22 countries that formerly had applied to become members of the brakes that there were another 40 that had basically interested. what was a bit of a surprise was that there was

a fairly quick agreement in the end on actually admitting new members. and that these members, well, in fact become full members at the beginning of next year. in other words, in just a few months time, the speed with which this was happening, that's really a surprise. saudi arabia and a wrong. that's 2 countries between which china has a media. it's a recent team because they have been a long ahead for many, many years. a lot most recent years of the situation of the war and the admin. so there is chinese influence to be seen in that. i think um, and general, this is a way of extending the number of people, the number of countries involved and the weights of the group. and that's really what russia and china wanted both the probably me a potent of russia and prison she of china talked about that. so that's just listen to what they have to say. so i must note that as it turned out, this work was not easy. and president rum opposed that it showed amazing diplomatic

skills and agreeing on all positions, including those related to the expansion of breaks breaks. but i would like to congratulate new members who will work at full scale next year. i would like to assure all, colleagues that we will continue the work that we have started today for deal to come today to expand the influence of breaks actually in the well well actually, annually i need a break. so those are 2 or 3 breaks. countries are all countries with important influence and shoulder important responsibility for world peace and development just for you and these new members provide a new starting point for bricks, cooperation chung and in general, new institutes into our corporation. mechanism. a 100 going into the some it does

seem to be some disagreement among bricks members about who should be admitted, but apparently they've found some common ground to somebody put their foot down. and how does this work? i think in the end of what has to say china godhood wanted it has been pushing for this for a long time in order to try and build a kind of conte a way to western influence. she didn't, thing has been talking about sol, numbers of countries ganging together and trying to set the rules for the rest of the world. he's talking about the g 7 industrialized countries, i think, and russia as well is interested in becoming the isolation caused by its attack on ukraine willed wide. so it to is interested in expanding this group and giving it more weight. and the can members that have come in, obviously a very diverse group for our countries like argentine a that's a really require funding that are looking for us to fund the economy. saudi arabia has, in the past, been very closely associated with the united states and was taking a step away from that now brings a lot of money into this kind of association. so there's

a lot of interest that has been covered here at the present 5 members. i know the whole thing has been turned into having 11 members of close. their influence has been diluted. you spoke about money. there's also talk of a common breaks currency. what would that be good for? yes, we were talking on the one hand for about a political alliance account awaits to west and political influence. but we also have very much talking about a, an attempt to get away from western economic influence from the basically. and the school thing has its own development bank for new development bank. they are trying to find a way of giving loans to its member countries that are not denominated gonzalez. this is a very, very big project, very difficult to achieve. but it's something that's all of those countries, especially also china have been pushing for, for a long time. so let's see if it works as people with money, like saudi arabia coming in, people with needs, like after the current argentine a,

a, that's a very putting a lot of hope into this kind of development of corresponding homespun, dest, thank you, hon. to and that's it. for months and me and the whole news team here don't go away next up, chris coldwell, what have more on the expansion all the big countries on the dw business office. all right, i'm gonna head office in berlin for me on the team. the pricing schedule issues or thoughts it will crazy. the algerians here mauritania is here, they don't work truck. we know is this one of the great dream.
