to the business, dw news live from bell in the kremlin space, silence about the faith of the, of get any pre goes in as the rest of the world presumes. the wagner chief and his deputy port killed in a plane crash event is widely being seen as an assassination. with suspicion falling on the kremlin ukraine box, 32 years of independence from moscow today in the middle of a wall with russia. with cape street celebrations, featuring destroyed russian military hardware as the country announced as a special operation in russian occupied crimea. overnights also on the program,

the bricks, groups of countries invited 6 new members to join, including saudi arabia and iraq. while old members publicly expressed support for admitting the new commerce have been divisions over the scope and the speed of the expansion costs involved with travel the election and count as further hiccups of the voting is extended into a 2nd day. police arrest stuff and stuff. election, observance, and face combination from the opposition pots. the guy that was a welcome to the program. you have any precaution deleda of russia's wagner most in every group is presumed dead. that has been no official comment from the criminal investigators. i have been examining the crash site because it was one of flooding

me put things most important allies until it fell out of favor officer leading a rebellion against most calls, military leadership. in june, russian authorities, a precaution was listed as a passenger on a flight that crashed on route from moscow to st. petersburg. 10 people about this aircraft when it crashed and the people region northwest of moscow. all of them 7 passengers and 3 group members who reportedly killed russian aviation authorities, se wagner groups chief of gave me precaution was on the passenger list. but the kremlin has not confirmed his death. it really depends whether this is actually the boss or somebody traveling under the name of your kidney precaution because we know the precaution use 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 probab plans and to can see where he actually

was. in st. petersburg, revolts 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 later met vladimir putin and became a closed skyline. in 2014, he found that the wagner must and then regroup, 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 russian installed on ukraine up in capturing buckling in june the golden stage. the mutiny again specials military leadership. it was shock live, and many observers assume the off to the move. his life was in danger. including us

president joe, by the new president, the other reactive wayne cross and russia. i don't know. do you think? i don't know what i mean by russia has started a criminal investigation into the plane crash for the confirmation of the goals and step all eyes remain on the kremlin mackenzie and from the center for strategic and international studies told us what message he thinks free gordon's presume death since 2 food teams, rivals or his military leaders 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 them 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 at 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. oh, okay. so that will be no independent group. like the one the box, no 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 the remnants of wagner in other military organizations. and so no, i don't think you'll see anything like this. again, do you think this will influence the finding in ukraine? i don't think celebrate 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, the way it's been going on for the last couple years,

some of those around the small country and that thank you very much. i to ukraine says it's units. i've conducted a special operation overnight and russian occupied crimea, raising the ukrainian flag in the peninsula as ukraine. mox, it's independent state. special forces landed on crimea as west. i'm showing you the tons of all and you've gotten maya where they engaged in combat, according to ukraine. so military intelligence service, russia antics defendants, so that in 2014 q 5 said it's determined to take it back. footage of the operation has not been independence. the consent, russia is not commented on the attack w as much as building a has been following this story from keith. yeah, we don't know much yet, but the president has confirmed that the ukraine was behind this. it was a landing operation, as we've just heard. and um, uh, some equipment was destroyed, boat speed boats, and also some,

some russian soldiers killed. that's what you create in claims. of course, this kind of operation is not maybe minutes or in the a significant in the way that it would pay the weight of something else. but the significance here is that it signals to rush or that they can not feel safe, even if they quite fall from the front line. crimea is really far from the front line, these west and this western coast of crime. yeah. and it's about $45.00. so it shows the russians they have on their ability. and of course, besides of course, uh the equipment destroyed. that's the main aspect. and of course it's a psychological boost here for the people in ukraine because, um, uh, this is a highly symbolic move. and today is ukraine's national day. well, today, as you said, it's indic independence day that and you cry and how is it being celebrated? or as you can see here, behind me, people came out this afternoon in the cities tend to, uh,

these times here. this military equipment, how it says this is destroyed russian material that they have brought here for the people to have a look at uh, to show, uh, their war trophies here to the people. so this, uh, uh, short strip of the central street and key is where people come to, to celebrate to have a walk, but that's about all of a own. we are having of public celebrations because most of rule is still in place . and big events with many people off to forbidden, but it is of course, an important day. it's also a one and a half years since the beginning of the war. and people have been through a lot here and uh, many came out here today the to enjoy a little bit, a break. it's a day off today as well. many have also left the city. i'm going somewhere else for a long, a weekend, a time to take

a break. now let's briefly talk about that plane crash in a rush. i presumably killing you if you any pretty, goes in any reaction to that from the ukranian government. this has been a few reactions. one advisor to the president has said that this, this is the fate basically, that awaits russian volk room. and those either a sentence in the hague or a bullet by the f as b rest of the secret service. it was not a bullet in the case of pre collision, but something else that exploded our plane. but the idea is that basically the rest of the elite is now turning on themselves and in fighting has begun. and there is no st. safe place for these war criminals. that has been the comment, of course, here in ukraine, nobody's heading to use for the free goals. and he is seen as one of the worst work and the most important russia. and that's why people have been, if anything, celebrating his that of course, bonded meant to you as

a building of the reporting from keith. thank you very much. once you have the breaks group of nations has announced that will expand its membership. as it's 5 members hope to boost their global influence, brazil, russia, india, china, and south africa will formally invite 6 additional members to join the economic alliance on at the start of 2024. they origin teen up egypt, ethiopia and iran, 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 injured on this block, hans brands joins me now in the studio. a 106 admissions announce today, including iran and saudi arabia. it wasn't really a surprise. the names were being tended all tied it around to it before the summit already well knew that there were 22 countries that formerly had applied to become

members of the brakes. that there another 40 that have 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 a 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 the media attention recently because they have been a long ahead for many, many years and lot most recent years of the situation, the war and the m. and so there is chinese influence to be seen in that. i think um uh, ends in 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 kind of me a potent of russia and prison she of china talked about that's,

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 around the pose that showed amazing diplomatic skills and agreeing on all positions, including those related to the expansion of brakes brakes as well. but i would like to congratulate new members who will work at full scale next year. my 2nd book i'm with is i would like to assure all colleagues that we will continue the work that we have started today for deal that category to expand the influence of breaks actually in the well well actually annually and yeah, but exposure to which of the brakes 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 insights is into our cooperation mechanism. a hans going into the summit, there seemed to be some disagreement among bricks members about who should be admitted. but apparently that found some common ground to somebody. put the foot down and how did this, what 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 counter 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 wills wides. 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 new ways to fund the economy. a 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, but the present 5 members. i know, uh, the whole thing has been turned into having 11 members of course, their influence has been diluted. you spoke about money. there's also talk of a common brooks 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 might be also very much talking about a, an attempt to get away from western economic influence from the basically and uh, the scoping has its own development bank for a new development bank, they are trying to find a way of giving loans to its men. the countries that are not denominated can dollars 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 africa and odds and tina that are very putting a lot of hope into this kind of development correspondent hunts, bump. i. thank you hon. let's, let's have a look now at some of the other news headlines from around the world. and most common cold has extended that attention of us journalist evan gosh, good. which by another 3 months, the wall street journal reporter was arrested in march on espionage challenges. we've carrier 20 a sentence scarce because it's unemployed, deny the allegations, and the u. s. government has to catch him to be wrongfully detained us republicans of health. the 1st televised debates of the 2024 race for president 8 candidates took to the states in milwaukee wisconscin, with the notable exception of the frontrunner. donald trump,

who skip the event. despite his absence, that was a heated discussion over trump on his calling legal trouble. and you are upcoming rudy giuliani, who used to be donald trump's lawyer and has surrendered to authorities at the jail in georgia. these facing charges were latest efforts to overturn from election loss in 2020, to the on his bunk was set at $150000.00 us dollars form and the old man has denied from doing and donald trump himself is set to turn him self in 2 authorities in georgia in what could be the most legally dangerous case against him . he's been no stranger to the inside of the courtroom inside since he left the oval office having been indicted in full separate cases in georgia, though the former president discharged with conspiracy to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election to 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. they've slipped the former us president at 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. well i want to do is this, i just want to find the 11780 loads, which is one more that we have. many of his co defendants are accused of legitimately

claiming to be official electors. and so i can say election certificates in favor of donald trump. they're all being charged under the states 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 entails official arrangement, which is expected sometime in september. it will be the 4th arrangement for trump since leaving the white house cementing his spot in the history books. as the only former president charged with breaking the law. the police end, as in bob way, have arrested thousands of election observers as the congress generally election stretches into it the 2nd day. many of those detained from organizations that want to provide an independent vote counts a position. politics have condemned the arrests and accused the government, the vote of suppression. the election has already been placed by irregularities off

the delays and missing public papers lead authorities to expend the poll. i'm telling me now is dr. knox to t o. associated fellow at the advocate program for the global st. time. think tank shots on house and he visits in baldwin during the lead up to the elections now does as a full monitors have been arrested, what more do you know about that? yes, we believe it's the a box 41 good arrested from maine from the to best known civil society election groups. they were arrested around the issues of the allegedly power they'll vote tabulation with prepared to to pass releasing results before the official results. the announced, this is quite a common thing that happens more or less in every election so that, that dispute continues. i think that the good news on that is that they have been

given access to the lawyers and one hopes that they will be released fairly soon. but this is a, a predictable pattern which regards to the 2 elections ends in baldwin. so we also heard about votes as suppression. what do you know about that as well? there's, there's, there's issues which uh, emerging in the legs. i mean, that's the good thing is that the votes so far? yes that's, that's been pretty peaceful all around. but things around to do with the votes as role of the, the, the voters boost opening legs and so on. and so for access to the votes as well, these are the ongoing issues. the opposition says that this is part of a general strategy to, to suppress the both of these and bobby lexical commission says that the issues for them have been the number of court cases which they've been facing and which has kind of distracted them from uh, from from jane, the bulk of the what?

so there's 2 different perspectives on this. now, what are the main issues driving voters choices in this election? well, the key issue is, is the economy, both the national economy and at the local level issues around terms of the national economy and things are in placements behind lation that cost of living and salaries the car and see we've had quite a lot of time time to load has stabilized the fan, it has stabilized over the last couple of months and of course jobs. and then at the local level, it's, you know, it's the question with regards to has your mt over the past 5 years to live with or not? has the city council over the past 5 years? believe it or not, so it's both national and local ac caught them. it's not a one issue election. they are on the issues people will vote on on lines of party

loyalty as well. but i think the keystone issue is the national and local economist dr. knox to toyota associates fellow at the africa program for johnson house. thank you very much. thank you. thank. as a new report from the organization, physicians for human rights is raising the alarm about sexual violence. and the c o p. us take live each and despite a recent peace deal between the government and the take rock peoples, the liberation front, sexual violence against women and girls, and the region continues. the office of the report examined around 300 cases of gang rape and abuse. they accuse soldiers of on both sides of engaging in systematic sexual violence and slave meant with victims reluctant to seek medical treatment. and that's leading research as to conclude the rates of sexual violence
