ties. the contents with good afternoon, good evening, wherever you are in the world. welcome to our see international bull costs in life from moscow. i memorize mommy, i'm as always, it's great to have you with us. let's take a look at today's top stories. we saw it with a major developments on the done bus front lines as a rush, empowerment group. wagner says it's full, says, have completely taken the strategic city of solider. the area is crucial for control over the rest of the public and has seen intense fighting between russia and ukraine forces in recent days, this, this exclusive footage shows wagner. members, i am the head of the group inspect him, mind shop that was used by his troops to so weapons and ammunition. wagner has been one of russia's most successful fighting forces in the green conflict. illinois

asians head has confirmed that some remaining ukrainian troops in the city have been encircled. will only mine of fighting still ongoing. wagner forces have taken control the entire territory of solid are there is a pocket of resistance in the city center where urban fighting is ongoing. the number of p o w will be reported to morrow. i want to reiterate that. besides wagner, p, m. c, there were no other participants in the storming of solid r. so that is a soup typically important location about 20 kilometers from the major city of oxy, must also known as by what, which is now seeing heavy fighting, gaining control over sort of the affectively paved the way for russian forces, suppress heaves truce to flee. that major city vital transportation hub, the network of roads as railways used as supply routes. now the head of the dentist republic has said that after salazar,

the forces will also move towards sylvester. then on to cities of crime, a thought and sloughing, and they will be the ones that will be next in life. now this would put out russia in full control over the next republic. oh, this is course order. roman closer reports on the significance at that at taking so the dog has had on the oval russian military in the region. well then asked and sir regards to salazar, came late on the 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 precaution and getting forgotten or 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,

a 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 ukrainian soldiers are now hold up and are 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 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 sold wines in europe. now previously the also stationed one of the largest ammunition to peoples in east or europe as well. but so more than that of the city is strategic for the remainder of russian forces. as by taking it, it now paved the way to the city of thomas,

which ukraine had renamed as baltimore when it's overtook 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 from a source of course that is all for major importance as well because the heavier fighting was taking place there back in at 2014 as well, as there are many, many people that left those area, many refugees, and of course they're all waiting to get home as soon as possible. let me close that live to independent journalist sonya vanda and thanks so much for joining us here at our c. now we've been talking pretty much about this, this, this offensive on the russian side. pretty much all morning, but how has or it has the western media talk about this battle? it's all. well,

it's not reported as much as in the russian media course. and 1st of all, they denied it yesterday evening, they denied it and they had no confirmation. soleski was saying that i had no confirmation, so he's thought that it was not captured as yet. but this morning when it was clear that it was the western media was just putting a minor thing in their media that okay, that's just a minute around 10000 people with the most of most people was captured. and that, of course, they also said that there was a lot of salt mine, one of the largest one in europe, but they didn't pay much attention to it. and okay, they said the what is called the new york and will be the next line, but still the ukrainian fortunate getting stronger and holding out and not letting the russians to be in this. so this was actually their remarks in the media. now

was it is the key here. it seems that russia wants to take control of the don't ask, wants him for or when you said that your opinion, that the is a key area to take that would probably, you know, secure the area for russia. yes, of course, because when only 10 nike long us away from my heart and then the next one is comatose and then the whole don't. but the whole don't get the people's republic will be enhanced of russia again. so that's actually the aim of this special military operation. so it's very, very important that they go ahead and go to, to buckled. indeed, i mean with the rush is a little pushing forward and securing the area. how likely is that, though? what is the likelihood of creating ships completely withdrawing from the city of

our to most where i think they will not and quickly to do a complete withdrawal. and there was also that there are different kinds of militia, especially there. awesome, do you have it from syria? like you had to stand, he had to militia there and these are tough guys. they will not surrender. and of course military. and i think they will try some of them until they're both the ad maybe ukrainian sold us will give up eventually. but the militia there, i think they are very tough to come. so it's interesting about these of foreign militia being involved in this conflict. i'm not something the western media really talk about. they just say that no is ukrainian soldiers against russian soldiers. we know for a fact that the wagner group is in fact have taken so responsibility for taking

solid are. what do you make of that? why, why do you think they've sort of taken responsibility have not said that they've been involved with the russian. that military, it's all. well, the russian side is open and about the work is down. but the west is not open about how many foreign writers there are actually in ukraine. it's always guessing, you know, maybe 30000, maybe 100000. we don't know the exact number. so i think the russian fact is open and the west attack is never opening up in spacing. you know, we have maybe 10000 or so many falls or so many mean from ukraine it's been stated. and so this is a very big thing. so maybe they want to cover up some things like the militia. now they're from, or not, not militia, they formed a militia inside. there are actually a lot of factors who fault in this area. and

a notorious do you have is what i said before. she's done, he is a very terrible one. so therefore militia scored west cannot be open about it because how can they say, oh, we try to are, you know, why it isis or dash in syria? and now they're back in ukraine is they can sell this open the of course. so i want to ask you a question, what the off of off topic but so of you feel like as an independent journalist we, you've seen these militia all these, you know, these fighters fighting in syria. i'm places right now we use, as you said that here or there in ukraine on here. i said ukraine independent journalist, how do you show that to, you know, every day people with less media just pushing the same narrative. how do you get to get the truth out there by showing what is actually really going on?

well, i am using a lot of alternative media in my home country. that's the netherlands. i'm not in college, you know, but i try to run all sorts of articles and i have no outlets in, in europe, western europe so i can show them and this is what i did already when i reported about the world. you had this also. so this is what i'm trying and lately, a lot of people because you know, there's a lot of problems in the west about the great recent about the guess problem. so a lot of people now are reading it, so it's very good. yeah, i mean you can, as we know, okay. so before we suffered a lot of massive losses and defending those areas, we were told, let's just go by that 1st 2nd. but can this effect morale, do you think within, i mean, we hear about by them this, these mercenaries are currently doing, i assume are doing it for money. what else would they be doing for we have the

cleaning force is that the offensive with russian troops and the wagner, the group. but we don't really hear about morale. do you think morale is low and the cleaning ships? i think so because the reason monkeys all these videos of ukranian troops actually are pledging with their leader me to lindsey or general that they don't have enough weapons. say the morality fairly low. i cannot verify and update with a group that was complaining, but it's very low because in the beginning they went didn't send as much weapons as they do not. and it also people claim that the weapons are now on the black market a lot. so yeah, so i think, yeah, the morale very low, the what this video from this groups are saying or does part of the military are

thing like sonya, lovely to me. thank you so much for joining me today here and i'll see a pleasure. thanks again for your time. thanks a lot. i was the russian private venture company via the now makes advances in the claim conflict. the us has implicit, have been tracking reorganization activities in global conflicts as slight american power mosey groups overwriting around the world. and plenty of western mercenaries fighting the great influences we just spoke about it. there are to contribute to racial models and shares her views on the issue. american officials at the highest level have been busy spying on the russian private military contractor whitener 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 extremists exploitation. last year molly chose the wagner group for a new partnership after picking out french forces whose efforts to secure the country were so spectacular, that there were 2 crew they tossed 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 set of the conflict in ukraine. once it, multilingual former soldiers willing to cowardly had into 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 is. ready 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 a regime change, chancery 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. won't chorus or lose covering the ukraine. conflicts say they are being deliberately targeted by accused forces in retaliation for

bringing the was attention to walk through any happening on the ground. all see will be area documentary throughout the day about why this janice risk their lives for their profession is an extract. ah, with ship with

in the line. with that being said, as long as an investigation officer, a video emo's on social media appearing to show a group of soldiers throwing corpses into a fire in ne ring mozambique warning. this report contains disturbing images that have both it have been assisting, mozambique government as fight against insurgents. one of the apparent soldiers in

the video has a south african insignia on his sleeve. the men, he has said that if south african troops were involved in rome doing, they will be brought to justice. the south african 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 expect to bias miguel, who says the incident reflects the worsening situation in mozambique. dan was, i'm the guy is it makes me a scene and it shows how this is william and where for the civilian and for low. how the found in this for me, all of them, because you can see pool of people and it was

a concern just because they had a flag. but i wanted to suck. i'm not saying that one is to come to was only a gun defense fall back on study and in the shows how my, my ride the value. and it was, i'm just to remind you that i'm printing from a human rad people issue in a solution, calling the will some of the government to ensure a for the civilians. so far we haven't ever seen anything all along me. and the, if you have one of these few deal because of this or just one. so the question is how many are you listen?

i mean we're meeting in was i me and the no one is it. while some parts of africa are plagued by violence, other former conflicts zones on the continent have been secure in peace with support from one of the wills top economies. china, beijing's new forum, answer, appointed last month has begun. his term was a major trip to africa, including praising a new seas. 5 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. his odds, his course, or the terrible that that le visits represents 2 things as 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 times 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 a credit crash cash crunch for following the global pandemic and top of mind for african leaders and for african states has really been about how do we restructured dead 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 um headquarters. they courtesy of the chinese government that has been a blessed upon this country. but of course, that is a deeper relationship. the bilateral, between china and ethiopia,

china has been there in terms of food aid and has also played a pivotal role. one of the unsung heroes really behind if your peers peace accord between the warring factions of the federal government and the te gray people. this is a very, very interesting time for the continent. africa is also being caught by global superpowers, france as it's been expelled from country to country. the united states is trying to reject and rekindle is relationship with the continent following an 8 year absence. and it finds china here and changed as the continent leading investor. and more and more russia is gaining significance and influence a pat now of choice for several african nations, particularly dealing with discourage of conflict. but the other issue, if how through this quite ship africa is being forced to choose and one who doesn't

live. there words is tandy. when he says south africa minister of the fence, who has lamented the west and how they have tried to play africa. washington threatens africa, not just south africa, of having anything that is even smelling of russia by no means that she hold any pansies and she is no friend of the west. and she really articulate a feeling that is really growing on the continent than more and more the continent might find better partners, quality partners and corporation. as the look to the east rwanda's for her said his country can no longer accept refugees from the conflict with india. c. tensions between the democratic republic of congo, a neighboring ro wonder, have been increasing as darcy, natural forces fight the m. 23 militia group. to the us, he has a huge rwanda of supporting the m 23. uncertain rwanda have adamantly denied those allegations. tens of thousands of people have reported. he fled from the fighting

in the rest sim, eastern region, coastal voted rwanda. alliance leader says his country no longer cook with the influence we can are keeping host to refugees for which we are leader on held accountable in some way or even abused about refugees as a result of ethnic cleansing based in another country. and we must be a dumping ground of these people who are being deprived of the rights. a refugee agency is reported that more than 70000 people from the d. r. c. have fled to neighboring rwanda. and the conflict has displaced about more or around more than 180000 people. we heard from an independent journalist, she says the refugee situation in the region is catastrophic. we also got the views of an expert at the university of south africa who says western involvement is feeling the crisis. day you monetary situation is

a very catastrophe is especially in a in canary chin id is kim where you can see more than 100000 people are staying there without any assistance and people were hoping that once the m 23 can withdraw from from, from a does village occupied by the yeah, by the m 23 so they can go back and continue their usual activities especially problem. but unfortunately that, that hasn't happened is your conflict resolution in last week got the west is part of the only the fundamental expectation would be that there were some

see out of african america to use in dan is to try to he's all these programs, of course we're going to expect you to. busy interrogation by introducing our community, but that should not be done by extruding africa and so i don't mind, you know, it's in the poses and use in doug. talk what you need t card. i said we gave you access to resources enough but russia has said it so use m. s. 22 spacecraft with his dog for the international space station has been damaged by a meter right and will return to earth without a crew. the cloth was previously slated to bring back soon russian cosmonaut. m a u . s. s. the next month. the damage from the space rock cools a small leak that raise concerns about the safety of crew members. if they would embark on the vessel. the russian space agency rolls closer,

so that will launch another fully is just to the space station to bring back those 3 space ferris. thanks month while they're out. some of this news i was all for me today. up next, my colleague, raleigh, sushi will be here. i bid farewell a a a a
