a pilot. the arrow and much less than possible. now that i owned is the most well known, provide them this not even a solo we often to use radio show wished revenge of a wagner. he rose as he called to them as the soldiers of wagner, a troop out of 40 these grass. and this is exactly the demand of social, some social media channels. first of all, or even kind of gum channels i should populate that took regarding as at all possible traces and evidence, as i discussed and to the messages, the loss of precautions. norma's his army was fee it by the whole world. wagner would be the most beautiful story for people's life and betrayal. and settlers here . mm hm. now what about those room is that pre goes in, might not have been on his place that might have sent some of the on this plan might have sent someone else and that he's still alive. yeah, according to sources of the independent, the internet for telephone, tonka precautions, body as well as the all of the victims of the plane crash has been delivered to the morgue about the genetic expertise will be required for final identification as

they bought a pulse from he's comrades in arms, he's fight us the precautions, but he was identified by missing finger, allegedly, but the investigation is to ongoing. and now what does the russian public then think about this crash? while all russia is boozing, a puzzling, of course, is regarding a dad of one of the whole thing, a plan. and he is now sitting somewhere in africa after all. he had also lived in the past on the different names and with different passports. it must be sad that many russians felt a certain sympathy for precaution. this began when she doubts to criticize it, the militarily, the shape of the minister of defense personally. at that time, she became popular with the support us of the war for whom everything went to slowly. then when she suddenly started to delegate the sense of the why she became popular among these critics of people. and finally, when he adapts to stops,

he's muted the on to bench to moscow. 50 soldiers, surely many kremlin critics sold. finally, some one dallas booth stand up against you. that means rush ability, if you may say to the thank you very much doing or ukraine says it's units have conducted a special operation overnight and russian occupied crimea, raising the ukrainian flag independent. so as you crane box, it's independent state. special forces landed on crime is west and show any of the towns off while a nice guy and my arc whether engaged in combat, according to ukraine's military intelligence of russia next the peninsula in 2014 k. if i said it's determined to take it back, footage of the operation has not been independently confirmed, and russia hasn't commented you as much as building on 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 made. the military need a significant in the way that it would pay the weight of something else. but the significance here is that it signals to russia that they cannot feel safe, even if they quite fall from the front line. crimea is really fall from the front line. these wisdom, this western coast of crime. yeah. and it's well 45. 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 in ukraine, how is it being celebrated? just 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 are still 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 am gone somewhere else for a longer weekend time to take a breath. 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 faith basically that awaits russian volk room. and those either a sentence in the hague or a bullet by the s 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 death correspondence, since he has a building of that reporting from keith. thank you very much. once us and we will bring you more coverage of your current independent celebrations later. including a concert in berlin given by you christ free the orchestra introduced by german president funk by the time last. so stay tuned for that. but 1st, the breaks group of nations has announced it will expand its membership, as it's 5 members hope to boost that global influence. brazil, russia, india, china, and south africa will formally invite 6 additional members to join the economic alons. at the start of 2024. the origin tina in egypt, ethiopia, iran saudi arabia and the united arab emirates. announcements came on the final day

of the block summit in johannesburg. and from all of the vixen onto an engine on his blog, um, hunts 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 one 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 getting 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 the media attention recently

because they have been a long ahead for many, many years of 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 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 around the pose that showed amazing diplomatic skills and agreeing on all positions, including those related to the expansion of brakes brakes. 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. the deal, the category to expand the influence of breaks actually in the well well actually annually and yet, but exposure to it, to the breaks countries are all countries with important influence and shoulder, important responsibility for world peace and development. or does a for you you agree? these new members provide a new starting point for bricks, cooperation, john allen, general new institute into our corporation mechanism. hans, going into the summit. those seem to be some disagreement among big members about who should be admitted, but apparently they've 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 god, what did wanted it has been pushing for this for a.
