route of the crisis for the police officers were shooting at us. we call a president of perused the unable to walk to, to resign. because you are a merger with as the world turns and finds itself increasingly conflicted, we are here to set the record straight. welcome to your new zonati international, and we go straight now to the conflict in ukraine for intense fighting has been reported in the door next republic as a russian troops advance on strategic areas in that region. but the head of the republic says that the town of sola dodd is close to being under full russian control. now i discussed this and other recent developments with our senior correspondent now, ah wagner, units on the fringes, on the west of the city. so ukraine has school, but last that you have prominence, ukrainian journalist coming out and say, look it's, it's over, we're going to give up solid on the point these, if they give up solid duck,

the road to cry, come a tourist and slow vance. a 2 key cities in easton, ukraine, that road will be open about the ukrainian defense slide, and that is from buffalo to solider than on to the city of save. if it is all entirely a natural defensive lot, which is why does taken the russian forces. so long term to break through and they're on the, on the cost now of breaking through. it's a natural defense of law because on the eastern side, throughout this geographic area, the ground, the with the geography such that solar dot m bachman and see it has, ah, are above so that they're high up. and the ground gently, slopes away, and the russians have be forced to assault from the doubt up. and that is in solid on the case of solider that has been almost exclusively the wagner group in bachman . they're also incredibly active and i was there, i was a inclin,

the boy in vladimir africa, which is the outskirts, basically just be on solid. and that is as far as we will able to get because the, the situation is such that you create would just roll tags out and shook is good. see everything down below and shoot at anything that move. and you had small groups of wagner at 89 people. a so troops, basically making a dash 100 meters finding a crater somewhere and hunkering down. they could be there for a deva, for 2 days without any supplies. just hunker down up front, so close up with ukrainian troops. and it just be a neat grab that, that take one crate and then the next that find that you say ukrainian troops. you talk about a meat grinder, you've spent so much time down the you thing down the for nearly 7 months mode at. is it all ukrainians? the russians are fighting down the no, it isn't it, isn't it?

it used to be but snaking criminal, for example, which is justice, north of, of service their entire sectors of the front line. good. that the troops there that give us the radio captured radiance trophy radios at captured from, from, from enemy forces. and we'd listen and that have all sorts of buttons to pre coded encrypted radio. you click on one channel and you don't hear german speech. you really hit german speed, you click on another and you only hear polish speech and polish speech was predominant in into sexes of the front lie, there would only be polish speech. there weren't any ukrainians that we knew all 4 that the troops knew of. on the other side, ukraine's losses in solid are in button would have been. they've been catastrophic . they've been ukraine, admit so itself. president zalinski has come out time and time again and said, it is hell on earth. what is happening there? but to give credit where credit is due, the wagner group has proved to be

a lot formidable force and absolutely formidable force. the. they the, the, the strategy and the taxes that they use are designed to, and half succeeded in depleting the best of ukraine's units. and we're talking here special forces. we're talking, well prepared mercenaries, or all foreign forces that have arrived to help you grant a. we're talking about foolish regulars, which is which is what they are regulars on leave sent in, in the, in the entire units the attachments or severely depleted on the solider and on the bottom line which, which is caused ukraine to pull units out of other areas such as up north, they're clean and nice larva and threw them into the meat grinder that is solid up . but yesterday, in solider we had fighting in the center of the city around the, the, the mayor's office, the city ministration. russia is fighting the best of the west right here. these soldiers, these mercenaries,

they're getting the latest technology from nato and from america and from england as well. and, and yet, it, it's not going in their favor right now. let morale let. let's, let's bring this back to the russian side here, sort of a show. i agree with the russian defense minister as announced reforms to military operations in ukraine and syria. so shoot them over to you, sir, knowing that they're not taken into account. our experience in the special military operation, the supreme commander in chief, has set a number of tasks for us. the main one is to take measures for the qualitative renewal of the armed forces and increase their combat capabilities. we must constantly analyze in system a ties the experience and actions of our groups in ukraine and syria. you see the issue here is that yes, russia is saying that we've, we've amassed a huge amount of experience. we've seen what works. what doesn't that mean? we're not only talking about military vehicles and houses and more 1000 a helicopters and flood control systems radios. we're also talking about taxi,

you know, in the future, in this mass mod more. what's russia needs to focus on what we need less or what we need more all, and all of this is coming together to define rushes, army rushes, military dealing in the future. and if you'd like to learn more about exactly what happening on the front lines and don't bass r t dot com has updates for you 247. so the south africa national defense force says an investigation has been opened after a video emerged on social media appearing to show people wearing a and to get an identified defense force uniform. but seen throwing dead bodies onto a fire warning, disturbing images coming your way. but the incident is believed to have happened last november in most i'm big. it's not entirely clear from which countries the soldiers in the video from,

but one of the soldiers has what appears to be the south african flag on his sleeve . now south africa is helping most, i'm big fight regional, the hottest and the south african national defense force called the incident an embarrassment and says those responsible will be brought to justice. the south african national defense force does not condone in any way the acts committed in the video. and those who are found guilty of such acts will be brought to book or global relations export to boss miguel, i just spoke to him. actually he says the incident highlights the deterioration of the the, the general situation in mozambique. and it wasn't because it did, it did make me a scene and it shows how this equation button, where for the civilian and for law have you found in this whole hour forcing? because on the, on the you can see a pool of people and it was supported the south african. so just because

there's a bunch of stuff on the flag. but in the south africa, i'm not saying that it was these trouble come to mozambique yellow and then the form for all of this about the gum defense fall back on the control over study. and these shows how my right, the value of it yet was i'm just to remind you that 20 point one. i think it will. mission the whole human rad people a solution. corny did well. some of the government official for the civilians. so far we haven't ever seen anything all along on these and the if you have what's the deal? because some of the saw just saw that the question is,

how many are you listen? i've been in muslim to peru now where at least 17 civilians have been killed in heavy clashes with police. a supporters of the impeach president hetero castillo hit the streets to protest against the current government. ah, well, hundreds are reported to have been injured, including at least $75.00 police officers, as a local to attempt to take over the international airport. the demonstrations are aimed at interim president, dina, but a lot of tech who is heavily supported by washington for the protesters main time are insisting that she needs to go for you to put him on the police officers were shooting at us. we co president of perused the unable to walk to, to resign because you are a murderer who has gone to defend us who is going to look after these children who

are traumatized. these children who are becoming fatherless, motherless orphans, the state is not going to come to see us. we have wounded comb, race wounded villagers, while keeping a close watch, the us has not condemn the violence, but the former president of olivia evil madonna's. he's asked that un, on the international community to take notice of what's happening there on the ground. we call on o n u c i d h human rights organizations and social and indigenous movements of the world to join their voices, to demand respect for the lives of our peruvian brothers, defenseless victims of repression and exclusion. politics. oh, got huge implications here. the story, the chinese national currency is about to get a big boost in latin america. i made a major trade deal with argentina. a china is already one abortion. tina's main economic partners, and the currency swap, the deal for the equivalent of roughly $20000000000.00. certainly comes at

a good time. the south american country has been looking to increase its foreign currency reserves to fulfill economic guidelines dictated by the international monetary fund. a china is argentina's, 2nd largest trade partner behind brazil is also the 2nd biggest destination for argentinian exports. and the currency exchange deal is to facilitate payments between the 2 countries. and what in chinese, you, one, we discussed this with an economic expert est van cars, not. he goes on to discuss what happened to be enormous implications. china has a stable money and monetary policy as well as the world's biggest international reserves. so china is promoting a monetary policy towards optimization of its resources and reaching us,

looking for an o thomas, a locally very bred dominant monetary expansion where it will be a benchmark for the world. when you have a strong money, everybody goes after this strong money school to the gresham law. it's natural that the r continuance will look for more activities towards china and with a chinese strong. you one. the merging godfrey's, such as brazil, russia, india, china, south africa. i have with more and more time with in these last years better, higher, stronger presence in lots of forums. so to big part of the bricks is really very important for our and dina and our in dina because of its enormous

political and economic crisis to look for more participation. so good. have your company for this. how is program australia has rejected an asylum request from an alleged chinese spy? despite expressing previous support for him, the media even betraying him as a hero? the sound a bit muddled up. that's a handed over now to artist marina cancer. ever. she has details. his name is lit. chung wong leitz young, but his definitely no james bond than when you look at all the evidence. it's amazing that australia and the west fell for his act to begin with. let's start from the beginning. this man 1st appeared on australian national and c v a few years ago, claiming to be a chinese spy. this is where he revealed that his mission was to further beijing's interests primarily in hong kong and taiwan. among his claims was that as an undercover agent, he kidnapped booksellers,

whose works angered the chinese government that he infiltrated universities and stole military intelligence and weapons. that he undermined the protest movement in hong kong, manipulates the election results in taiwan and embezzled public assets there. and of the west aid it all up after all, it fit their anti chinese narrative. so jackpot this young double, 07 was paraded on national to be an portrayed as a hero. a hero in need of protection. haven't spilled all this. he about his home country, well trillion authorities also joined then initially ignore an issue such as his young age and lack of the italian, his stories. and the fact that everything he spoke about was already in the public domain. i'm of the view that anyone who's willing to assist us in defending our sovereignty deserves our protection. i think he deserves our protection and our support. hostile foreign intelligence activity continues to pose

a real threat to our nation and its security. i have no doubt in my mind that he would be the subject of severe consequences. were he to return to china? china was adamant that the west was being conned by this camera. happy spy. their version was that this defector was actually a fugitive who was under investigation for fraud in china. actually, the facts are clear for these fraud who became a spy. this is a totally absurd loophole written screenplays concocted by anti china sources. they even released footage of wildly young in chords in china face and the fraud charges where his seemingly admits. so being a liar on earth court documents and witness statement seems to corroborate china's version of the story. bots may be this intriguing fairy tale was target to pass up at the time for the western media since it was during a period of really tense relations between australia and china. their lowest points in almost 50 years with accusations of election meddling,

human rights violations. and china allegedly weaponized in trade. sometimes it really is a case of wishful thinking. but it seems that finally australia and the west half caught on, wang has not only been accused of committing fraud against an australian citizen. but he was also denied asylum. a decision that was upheld by the australian appeals tribunal, partly because they now have doubts over his claims. and how, if at all this tribe, you know, can safely find that wang was engaged in espionage activities. it will be interesting to see how much coverage this spike force would get after it has back wired on the west. but it just goes to show, once again, how sometimes ideology overwhelms you and you just can't say nodes. her good spy thriller, even if it is a bunch of fiction. we heard from political export her to madison in sydney, and now he says australian relations with china have deteriorated over the years.

and he actually blames washington's foreign policy. and even american media outlets for the degradation. mr. wang, it seems as a little bit too far out on a limb, even for the australian authorities and the background that wasn't 50 years ago in schools. we were told a strider as part of china, and we were all encouraged to learn asian languages and, and of course, the economic relations with, with se, asia and china grew and grew, and china has been destroyed. the biggest trade partner. and this was the case until 4 or 5 years ago when washington turned around and decided, you know, with obama's pivot to asia and trump's economic organization companies and then nancy pelosi is trip to taiwan that a stranger unfortunately, the, the clutch of politicians are extremely weak they can't really resist joining in with the washington campaign, but it went wider than that. it was the media promoting least things. that's true, the corporate media that promotes all of these the latest campaign from washington

. it's also academics, we had a number of academics coming out early on saying this man was credible and it added to all of what was known about china and so on. of course, what really upset the story was back at the beginning 3 years ago. there was already opponents of by aging, who was so i know this guy as a fraud, he's a lawyer there was taught when they use intelligence officer retired, one people in hong kong was supposedly the victims of biking. he was saying, don't believe this guy. he's approached the so all of the, all of the warning sounds throughout the, from the beginning. but nevertheless, the story proceeded. ah, supporters of brazilian president lew that are silver have taken to the streets of major cities nationwide to back up his government ultimately following a violent attempted. who in the nation's capital? oh, you know,

some participants are the pro government rallies have gone as far to condemn. the attempted crew was a terrorist attack. his local correspondent, michelle de mayo in south palo with more details on the riots and what they're calling a coup attempt examines as a located in or say to us were on one of the main streets of so paula, the largest city in brazil and national demonstration is going on behind me now in defense of democracy and against the court town that took place last night in the federal capital of brazil, err so far. 1500 people have been detained for participating in the core attempt. the justice ministry says that these people could face up to 20 years in prison. the other charges are destroying the government headquarters in brazil, air and the theft of weapons, ammunition and classified documents from state intelligence services. president, lunar, the silver has just met with $23.00 governors and 4 representatives of other subjects of the federation to develop

a clear plan for all levels of government to prevent any further attempts and disability zation. all of this is due to the fact that in addition to the actuals of the purchase, their tax on federal buildings in brazil, there are camps of extremist groups that advocate for an armed intervention and a cool that have been working for 2 months already. all these camps are being liquidated in the capital and in rio de janeiro. so paula and other major cities. nevertheless, these extremist groups are trying to set up barricades on the streets and commit other acts of industrialization. after meeting with the governors, president lula, the silver walked with them round the leaders official, residents, clearly demonstrating unity. he said they will work together to protect the countries democracy. people say that they don't want amnesty for the violent protest as they want. all the people involved in the right to be held responsible for the attempted. cool. let's listen to their statements. thought of some of the

key. we're here to defend democracy and president lula who was recently legitimately elected. we were against the attempt to coo, organized by a part of the population that is far from reality, where blow up in 2018 when both scenario one, the left to success did this. and now when lola one, we need to accepted today's the day to fight for his victory. last year, people came out to defend democracy and speak out to gaze. the cour attempt brazil's capital will continue to remain in the state of emergency until the end of this month, justice ministry secretary at ricardo capella remains in charge of public order. while the governor of the federal district in bernice russia was removed from power for a period of 9 to days upon a decision by the supreme court. this is the situation at the moment. the news is constantly being updated. brazil is going through a very town spirit because it has been only 7 days since law officially became president. these attacks on the institutions of power are the most serious, says the beginning of democracy. brazil will monitor the development of the

situation. would you be, would you be surprised? i should say, to hear the alleged russian influence on twitter. during the 2016 u. s. presidential campaign had no significant influence on voters. that is the conclusion of a new study by the new york university center for social media and politics. now it follows years of mainstream media report alleging collusion between moscow and the former u. s. president donald trump, the so called russia game theory claims that fake news on a russian social media boards help to swing the election and trumps favor. however, no concrete evidence has ever been presented to back up the long finding accusations the dossier on which the claims were based, later discredited as a source of the latest study has blown. another major hole in the rush of game theory finding that u. s. citizens were more interested in domestic news rather than so called domestic intelligence reports. the study also found no direct evidence that an alleged

russian influence campaign impacted on people's political views. here's what one of the studies authors had to say. my personal since coming out of this is that this got way over hyped and then we have this data to show we can't find any relationship between being exposed to these tweets and people's change in attitudes . earlier we were talking to a journalist and author daniel lazar, he says despite the fact that the collusion narrative was fake, the mainstream media reporting had americans believing that trump was indeed a russian pop it. we knew it was a big, big deal over nothing but the press would not be deterred. it was intent on mounting a ferocious ante russian campaign. i mean, there was a step astonishing. there was no evidence. and in fact, the robert mueller report shows, there was no evidence to support collusion, but the democrats promoted it at every opportunity and they were backed up by the

press and by the intelligence agencies. so americans, for more than 2 years were led to believe that collusion was a real thing that donald trump really was a russian puppet. and i'm not trying to defend trump by the way. i can't stand the guy, but the but from did not need russian help in winning the 2006 election. he was able to do it the old fashioned way on political grounds by appealing to american voters. o, apparently washington is falling behind the hypersonic arms race, according to a new report in the us magazine that ranked the capability of global weapons. according to that of a popular mac connected to the article said that russia and china possess the world's most advanced and efficient weapons of the hyper sonic missile. whereas washington,

his flagging behind with 8 hyper sonic weaponry projects that are only in the early development stages. the top 3 ragged missiles listed in the report are russian hypersonic missiles the congenial there's not a calling on the app. on god 2022. the can. john became the 1st of its type in the world to be used in a conflict when it was deployed. in u. crane, russia is congeal nuclear capable. hypersonic miss all is an updated version of the if can the ballistic missile with a new aerodynamic scheme and guidance system which gives a great maneuverability with a range of almost 2000 kilometers. it is almost undetectable by modern defense systems, but has the ability to change course mid flight if necessary. and the russian president vladimir putin said the congenial which and had service in december 2017, was developed quote, in response to the u. s. deployment of a strategic missile defense system. now, 2nd, on the popular mechanics list is russia 0 to con. according to russia's defense

ministry, the land and sea bass miss ark and travel with 11000 kilometers per hour and reach targets 1500 kilometers away. officials stated at last month, it was loaded onto a russian frigate and successfully test fired just a week ago. and with that is set to enter operational service just a bit later this year. and last but not least, the avant garde, it's range of 6 and a half 1000 kilometers, combined with a top speed of $24.00 and a half 1000 kilometers per hour. makes it one of the deadliest weapons in the world . that is, according to this report, the god has the ability to glide and a just like movement, where the russian military saying it is undetectable by any current missile defense system will out. former pentagon security policy analysts, michael maloof, now join us live here on our team. to national, to take this conversation so they're very welcome to see michael. we do have some disparity here, michael, but not just in weapons capabilities. i mean,

as we all know, the u. s. does spend more than the rest of the top 10 countries in the world combine? why is it that america is missing out on this headline? i mean, michael, where does that money go? well, it's in research right at the moment. the u. s. as you pointed out, has no completed hypersonic missile. it has a number of them under, under research and development, but certainly nothing operational, even the other countries, russia, china, don't have anything operational in large numbers. they, they can, they can launch in and in a very limited area. the given those ranges, we're looking mostly at europe and given the additional approach or strategy of, of the swarm approach of missiles at

a given target. it leaves europe totally vulnerable from the russian side. and the same can, can apply to the chinese on the taiwan side. so there in the u. s. has nothing to match them. and that is always very scary because you don't have a counter to that miss are. so this is something that the u. s. is russian to, to work on. it's going to take a few, a few more years. and by then russia, china will have advanced in their own r and d, research and development. and that's probably the way things are going to progress . it is a very, very serious deterrent. and i think that this is something you, the walk defense department recognizes now and it has to start getting serious about defense if it wants to be relevant. well, michael, it was, even though the russian president vladimir putin said, i guess it was

a few months ago. he said, we are ahead of the, in the story, so to speak with hypersonic weapons. but he said, what america does finally catch up. he said, by that point, russia will have a whole new level of a brand new type of deterrent system. what about you? cried michael. i mean, we've got russia essentially fighting the best of the west in ukraine at that moment. and yet the west continues pumping. ukraine with weapons knowing that a russia has what essentially are the most advanced missiles in the world. i mean, knowing that the other guy is bigger and stronger than you, and yet they keep on pushing. they keep on pumping the country with weapons to what end, michael? well, if that's the big question, isn't it? it the, the, it's going to be such that the weapons alone will not solve this is going to be other forms of deterrence as i see it. because the united states primarily sees ukraine more as a way of confronted russia.
