a substantial trip to several african countries as raising strengthens economic ties with good morning. good afternoon. good evening, wherever you are in the world. welcome to our t unfashionable broadcasting live from oscar. i'm right, mommy and as always is great to have you with us. let's take a look at today's top stories. we start with major developments on the dom bus front lines as the russian paramedics, you group. wagner says it's forces have completely taken the strategic city of solid off. the area is crucial for control over the rest of public, and has seen intense fighting between russia and ukraine. forces in recent days or factor is clearing the city. we are now in the center of solas are in front of the administration building. wagner has been one of russia's most successful fighting

forces in the ukraine. conflicts feel when i say his head has confirmed that some remaining ukrainian troops in the city have been in circle with only mine of fighting, still ongoing. wagner forces have taken control of the entire territory of solid r. there is a pocket of resistance in the city center where urban fighting is ongoing. the number of p o w solber reported. i want to reiterate that besides wagner, p, m. c, there were no other participants in the storming of solid are so there is a strategically important location about 20 kilometers from the major city of our film mosque. also known as blackwood, which is now seeing heavy fighting, gaining control over. so the effectively paves away foot, russia falls as suppress give troops to flee to major city a vital transportation hub with a network of rows and railways used as suppliers. now,

the head of direct republic has said that after the cylinder, russian full says will also be able to move towards another key city. and that service than the cities of crime, a toss an fluffy answer. ah, it will be next in line for a full russian control of the don't ask republic. my auntie correspondent, roman crossroads reports on the significance that i has on taking a solider. and over on the oval russian med sheet foothold in the region. well then asked and sir regards to salazar, came late on tuesday evening. we 1st received the news that the fighters of the wagner group are now in control of the sensor of the city. later we got news from a precaution. if you're going to sell the head of the wagner group, that's his units are now in full control of the city. not only that,

on roads to retreat for ukrainians are under artillery control of the wagner group as well. at the moment, the clearing operation is underway in the city where the soldiers are going from house to house, looking for the remaining ukrainian soldiers there. according to their wagner group, for a small number of training, soldiers are now hold up on our, in a coal drawn in the center of the city. and we are waiting for the news where the city has been completely freed from ukrainian and nationalist. now the city of salazar is a certainly very strategic, very important for the next people's republic. now it houses one of the largest solar winds in europe, and our previously also stationed one of the largest ammunition to peoples in east or europe as well. but so more than that,

the city is strategic for the remainder of russian forces has by taken it, it now paved the way to the city of thomas, which ukraine had renamed as baltimore when it's over took of the city back in 2014 . and so once that operation is complete, the russian forces can move to other heavily fortified the cities of us lions and promote source. of course, that is all for major importance as well because the heavier fighting was taking place there back in it's when t 14 as well. and there are many, many people that left those area. many refugees and of course, are all waiting to get home as soon as possible. meanwhile, a series of large, exposes as witnessed in ukraine's a 2nd largest city hargrove where the same time that some of those taken on erosion control who's reported that a russian miss. i hit an ammunition depot,

where pyrotechnics were also being stored, bloss continued to be witness, little after the alleged attack. and now to the russian border region of belgrade, where 6 people have been reported wounded in the latest ukraine shilling local authorities. he say one woman was taken to a hospital with severe injuries. often no fewer than 30 artillery rounds were fired into a village where she was located. check out our website, r t dot com for more analysis about the battle fossil adar and other russian effective sees a long lived on bus front lines as the russian private military company. wagner makes advances in the ukraine conflict. the u. s. has reportedly been tracking the organizations activities in global conflicts as fast, despite american paramilitary groups operating around the world, and plenty of western mercenaries fighting for ukrainian forces. i'll see,

contributor rachel muslim shows her views on the issue. american officials at the highest level have been busy spying on the russian private military contractor, wagner group all the way from ukraine into africa and even into europe. that's according to western press reports, citing diplomatic cables. one unnamed senior bite and official framed it this way. the u. s. government is concerned about the extent to withdraw grows interfering and sovereign countries, internal politics, violating human rights and robbing them of mineral wealth. there is significant evidence that wagner halls counter terrorism tactics in places like molly a worsening the situation by creating more opportunities for extreme exploitation. last year molly chose the wagon her for a new partnership after picking out french forces whose efforts to secure the country were so spectacular, that there were to prune a toss in as many years. so while the u. s. government is busy obsessing over this

russian private military company. it might be worth remembering that it was the u. s. government that created the very blueprint for modern day security contracting when a certain eric prince, the son of one of the republican party's top donors at the time he was also a good pile of then u. s. president and former defense secretary dick cheney. and so eric friends treated blackwater, which went on to obtain lucrative know, bid security contracts for the u. s. government in the middle east during the u. s . global war on terrorism officials from the cia and the pentagon conveniently slid over to blackwater for a much more lucrative pay day than their government job. and despite callaway reputation and incidents like when blackwater personnel opened fire and killed 14 civilians in iraq's niss who are square in 2007, the u. s. private security model has gone on to thrive, lucrative job offers with western and private military contractors,

reportedly started popping up right from the very sat of the conflict in ukraine. once it, multilingual former soldiers willing to cowardly had inter ukraine for the handsome sum of up to $2000.00 per day, plus bonus to help rescue families from an increasingly grim conflict. okay, so apparently that isn't a problem for washington. they have nothing to say about job offers like that. instead, american officials are preoccupied with the wagner groups presence in places like serbia, where the group announced last month to have opened a cultural center to better inform and educate russian ex pats working against moscow from serbia. sounds kind of like serbia was looking for some hired help in preventing the country from becoming a flop house for regime change, chances targeting moscow and its allies. the real problem with the wagner group for

the west is that it competes with western private military contractors. and serves to protect the interests of clients that depart from the western agenda. if the u. s. government has a problem with that. now, they might do well to remember that they were the ones he started back particular ball rolling in the 1st place. while correspondence cover in the ukraine, conflicts say they are being deliberately targeted by cues, forces in retaliation of bringing the world's attention to what's really happening on the ground all to you will be area documentary throughout the day about why those jonas risk their lives for their profession isn't extract a christy swain, and he was up that with what ship with

him. this thing is for us with

about so story as full as his some brushes. wagner group have reported taking full control of the city of sola, which is a strategic importance. the russian military operation in dumbass as thou cross live to former indian diplomats, m k buffer. qu more, sir, thank you so much for joining us here. our team now we've been hearing hearing about this solid are on the takeover of it, but what effect will the take over also i have on the russian offensive in the region. well, you know, as i say, you got another medical in mind column send, send from one to date with your patients. one can say that this one can describe this kind of a turning point because i do likely mention sort of that is this strike to

strategically very important and added to that. you know, i feel my reading is that now you know, the difference of the, the, the, the situation in the month will turn also decisively in favor of the walking group. which has been fighting that for months in fact. so, you know, why are they important? they're important because, you know, buck notes and started up to get used to kind of a leach been in the you're going in different lame in one bus and that is number one. and therefore, someplace for the, for the ukrainian operations will become even more difficult about from the weather conditions at the moment. no. and the russian operations all are impeding be ukrainian, something like this would add to that many significantly. so they keep ability to

fight will be diminishing very, very dramatically. and david roller is that that's really on because it's a matter of days or weeks now. and we that the or you campaign will you nominally change because next move be as conceivably words that come up and slowly and we've got to know be the primary objective of the campaign in the literature which is about a, you know, are taking at inch, turning 60 of the don bus region, that would be one of the 1st, and i think it said definitely defining moment when that is reached. turning point towards that kind of. yeah. okay. well, so,

so they, they take that area there, but wilson, likelihood of the quitting troops completely withdrawing from the city of mos if the russian forces continue to press on with the advance. 0 from one can be even from the rest. and so we shall use slack reports even there it is becoming increasingly difficult to sustain that narrative. and that is that there is granting acknowledgement that the rush, the forces are getting slowly, steadily getting the so psychologically bedding. so it does capture the russian poses by the walk as psychological bedding. it turned on the premium at deployed in and i have a feeling that therefore we know in

a days or weeks, which we come on, the control of it. i can see that happening. okay, so i mean, you made a good point. i would be sending you the minutes in mind, but you are diplomat. so i'd like to use that. take that into consideration. now let's say the russian forces do succeed and take our to mosque. what's next is that is that the final stronghold is that don bus now secure, and then we can look at whatevers and what is next. this is what is matching this in terms of what we can expect probably in the weeks ahead. and as we mentioned arrows, so there is the telescope and the time you will find that it's conceivably that would be enough in common we just what i expect then you know, apart from that,

that is the big picture. you know, it's quite evident that the american saw also doubling down and with a new type of free and heavy alma being interviewed for that this time. what difference does it make through the actual balance of horses? all the momentum of the campaign russian campaign time really can tell. but i don't think that from the russian statements is the case. what are your budget that the, you know, the deployments going on steadily optimum play session for the kitchens up michigan least then clear that the ukrainian fences are not getting any breakthrough. so you see that is a big picture. now in order to find some kind of often 6 that can do it can a whole from one to 6 on continually it can, it can go with the upper hand. but what discussion strategies will have to wait and

see. so you know, some little side of this, the many people read talk about we, we hear about how the wes supplies, kids with weapons. sure. we hear about the reasons why russia is in fact in, in the area. but, you know, we don't hear about much about the morale of people on the morale of the, the soldiers, for example. i mean, this is going to be quite of a huge thing for the, the, the cranium, sodas, are they losing their morale? are these because of these different sort of these different towns or their little different areas of the country. but they're not able to defend and rushes able to liberate, to think morales down over all i don't know whether it is just more right metro moral alone. because the point is that, you know,

the gradient forces that can be battling in the, in the, in the recent months. taking very heavy casualty. and this is now, i'm not going by the russian reports. i'm going to get what i read even new york times, even financial times. they all have acknowledged that they know that they've been video. i know that a service will been inducted here even this morning. you know, discussion about this. i heard of interest radio, british radio that you know, the training that is being given for instance, you know, as far as getting to this new people or being infected into the wall is for 3 weeks now. you know what, how do you train an infantry and be so really plain people are being interviewed by the grain. it's a my phone is been depleted and then you know more on it. so if you have to look at

it in a much bigger way and that may just stick to the problem, going to be a very serious problem area operations further intensify and the sub place altogether coming in. do you clean if that kind of, if you ship so then how would this sustain does what i can you know, why feel therefore, that all the noise is that you are getting some, you know, increasingly it kind of bravado and a grant standing to impress the audience in washington and you know, keeping the momentum going, keeping narrow. but it was no, it cannot be war and come to the rush and goes back. no, it cannot come to that stop 3 entities of the situation and you know,

i've been doing conversation so i don't want to let you go. i, i do have a kind of a slightly off topic. well, main topic, i guess, but question fee. i'd love to hear insight on this. i mean, we've heard recently that these patriotic missiles are being going to be supplied to key fair enough. ok, whatever. but these, there's kind of a technology called me just taught over night. i mean, you briefly mentioned that in your previous answer will likely to see us or nato troops inside ukraine training these people to, to use weapons that they've never seen before. so that's what question. you know, it's, it's slicing the time. my reading is that, you know, in the totality of the situation that you're also taking on the state of play in the american politics side is just this morning. i was reading and given mccarthy's . there's a really nice article by nobody going. busy forward, you know,

what i mean, are you going to bust out in a city who resigned from the service? and i found the policy differences ago about my administration either can in fact, you know, that mccarthy selection means you know, that they're going to get video loss by them in the, in the congress. so, you know, if you take all of these factors into i think the fact that bite and spoke to himself last week to drum up support from germany. it shows that the, the, that, that the administration in any of the or that it can, that they can mom lives from the allies and from we can go ahead. now, you know, the election campaign is just going to begin and by the end is going on to the mexico for that. and then you will realize that he will realize that what

they can public mind is a whole lot of it from their concerns and their fees so far from you know, on being referencing and do you frame and dumping money, billions of dollars and you know, part of the land and just be american administration of a history of acting against that. i mean, you can demonstrate public opinion, but this will incrementally mean, you know, difficult. the boy had with dramatic moves such as you asked me about putting books on the ground in that in ukraine and so on. i think any congressional support and biden's on for this will be, i suspect, innovative action. so i mean, you may have owners and finesse, hope boots are not on the ground, will be interesting to find out how these soldiers are going to be trained to use

these new equipment. so before i let you go, i'm, you are of course in a former, in the diplomat, which is really quite amazing. thank you so much for joining us here at archie. now, india has been sort of, i guess, encouraged by the us to sort of take a more aggressive songs against russia. india has always said, look, we're neutral. we know we will always look after our own interests. but does india still feel the pressure from the us to take aside and not be neutral? i, i cannot get the feeling that are coming to us, but that's what you have in mind. you know, in the stance is intrinsically when the sincerely, it's not been a different from that you know, so i know that be on that. or even if, you know,

or even possibly know, even if, you know, we just missed that, you know, that the discomforts that the, the, the political tension and the fiction in the relation between russia and the west. finally called many in this war, which nobody warms. so there is a certain degree of distress over it, but it turns me to know if the system of russia, i haven't seen any evidence of it so far. you mentioned that there is some, some official, but i don't, i haven't seen that at all. in fact, there isn't a difficult position because you must also my reality. listen to the united states, sequential one for india. it is the biggest trading partner for india. and i don't want to get into that relationship. so it should be missing shit. you know,

and that, that relationship has its own moment and it needs to be done within the united states. you know, unlike what russia is speaking in china is facing in america with the concept of this relationship. so, you know, if you look into that and then analyze the situation, you will find that position is extremely reasonable. it is really sick and it can be understood in terms of being, although media doesn't well, all right. can be finally why i'm going to tell you off that i really, really, if the shape tie you say everything you said, and thank you so much for joining us here today for wendy debra m k. buffer the quote. thank you so much for your time. thanks again. ah, buyers who are now south africans military is laws, an investigation of a video mode on social media appearing to show a group of so just throwing courses into a fire in a brink, mozambique,

a warning. this report contains disturbing images. south african forces have been assessing mozambique government and fight against insurgents. one of the apparent sodas in the video have the south african insignia on his leave. the movie has said that if south african tooth were involved in rome doing, they will be brought to justice to south africa. national defense force does not condone in any way the acts committed in the video. those who are found guilty of such acts will be brought to book. what is shown in the video is unacceptable and must be rejected in the strongest possible way. we heard from international relations, i said to bias ne, yahoo says the incident reflects the worst thing. situation in mozambique? yes, i'm a guy in, in the me a scene and it shows how the situation had gotten worse for the civilian and follow the found in the home.

because you can see a few people and it was a concern because of a fly by one of the stuff. you're not saying that one of these to come to was a big yellow and then the forms for all of this about the defense fall back on the study. and it shows how my human right. the value of it was. i'm just to remind you that i'm going to print one a people issue in a solution on some of the government to ensure a for the civilians. so far we haven't ever seen anything on on b and b,

if you have one of these few deal. because some of this, so just one. so the question is how many are you listen? i mean will mean it and no one while some parts of africa are plagued by violence. other former conflicts, those on the continent have been securing peace with support from one of the world's top economies. china phrasings, new foreign minister appointed last month, has begun his term with a major trip to africa, including praising a new ceasefire deal in ethiopia. chinese top diplomats have been visiting africa during their 1st year in office as a tradition over the past 3 decades. with more on the importance of the current visit is obscene, correspond, caribou, that visit represents to thanks is an opportunity for the new chinese

foreign minister, minister king to actually come and familiarize himself with africa, but also an opportunity for him to relay what china's vision is. for his cooperation with several african countries over the medium to long term. now this visit comes amid a really challenging time for a lot of african countries. they have been going through what they've, we've experienced, or what you might call food shortages and also, and crate crash cache crunch. following the global pandemic and top of mind for african leaders and for african states has really been about how do we restructure there in order to avoid potential defaults by several countries or other. this is an opportunity for china starting of course in ethiopia, which is the headquarters of the african union where they build a $200000000.00.
