russia, which is fine. yeah, applies. and so one styling never wanted to exclude does exclude russia from western pain, from western economist ah, a full us nursery in ukraine, who did to russia report on a legend. one is like fear. also, it was eating the role of the u. s. intelligence in the conflict satellite phone and the computer provided by the cia. and every day he would call his contacts and he would your information about the position troop movements and so on and so forth . nearly a 100 civilians, including children, are in just a few trained continue scattering. bond landlines throughout residential areas and

with strong. what's the major scapegoat for after this problem is all drop into a, into a president backbone ahead of his own nation for all the content coming and made much resistance or reaches opposition to paris is present in the region and that nigeria waits the announcement of the results all the countries presidential, i'm parliamentary elections as but counting continues. are the results already closing written among some candidate with good? i welcome to international group watching live from much and it's great to have you with us. i'm a right to mommy. let's take a look at the tone for this out. some petersburg pool cover,

apple temporarily close over the last half hour has now reopened and identify objects was reported to be the reason for the closure will flights were delayed, but officials now saying the apple is open as no more who flies receiving allegations of war crimes the presence of fall, right? and even c i a involvement. these are just some of the revelations is 1st, why former us mercenary in ukraine, who recently defected to russia. john mcentire, fully us soldier, signed up as a fighter in the cleaning all me as off of the conflict shops by what he saw on the ground, he became decisions, fled to his voice life after gathering information. but what was happening around him, his odds. he's wanted gas exclusive interview for almost a year for my u. s. army soldier, john mcentire was

a foreign mercenary in ukraine. donna min envoys, sophia, ah, a good a gate. earlier this month he defected to russia. he bought everything with him. papers filed intelligence and maps, the thing ease. he always meant to the 1st question is why, why are you here? i mean, well the reason i came to you craner 1st place, you know, on a communist, i'm an anti fascist, and we have to fight fascism everywhere. you know, so on our came when i came to ukraine, i knew that i would try to get as much information as i could about, you know, anything would be helpful and a defect across lines. the problem is, is when i was in a harkell, i was going to summer cross and i found out the head of snipers and position. so if

anybody i and actually found out that the snipers referred to factor is not for actually a protection, they're actually anybody to try to defect. they would shoot them, you know, since march 2020 to john served in ukraine's foreign legion and nationalist battalion carpets k c h. he saw and documented the ukranian war machine in all its ugly glory from the inside. he became part of it. god bless you. great. god bless america. but you, russia, russia, russian, russia, can i, as the farmers, floral glee, her own slaughter, thrasher, russia. time when own, you know, had to become more nationalistic, more not cystic. you know, doing that, explain the videos where you didn't and yeah, yeah, of course of course is,

is part of it to maintain my cover because i got to become new. you know, to me, if i'm going to be with him, i got to become them. you know, and doing, you know, hitler salute step in a rush and flags everything. what about will clubs were to start? you know, my, my 2nd day and ukraine. we were in a level of and so we were in like a school, but we were in like the basement. and what they did was i have a group of people rama, but they call them gypsy, you know, and i, what they did is they take the refugees and put them above us. and the soldiers below that way, if they bombed a school that's a look, they bombed a school full of refugees. and this is a common practice and done as car cove. we occupy civilian houses, next house is that people are still living in that way. if they bomb and kill civilian, they bring in the news crew and they say, look at this house, they blew up and they killed the civilians. but what the camera doesn't show used in the left to the right is a house is filled with military. you know,

of course i haven't seen seen in person. thank god, but i know that a lot of captured russian soldiers i'll take in, cut the genitalia with a knife and everything and cut them, cut their stomachs open with their throats, cut their heads off and stuff like this, you know, really horrible, horrible stuff, you know, was the work of nationalist and she was just yeah, just extremist in different organizations as all no contracts with them. yeah. they were foreigners, they didn't even take part with any of these. god. yeah, i told you earlier, they had shot 3 people in the back of the head. they were foreigners from portugal, friends only from argentine. they proud. yeah, they're proud john, documented everything was in his food, his head and in the papers he bought along. when you, when you came over, you said you a spot that you handle, for example,

like bases and stuff. lease. yeah, yeah. and of course intelligence agencies, of course, everything from the command structure names, you know, weaponry, everything. and i was successful and no more than successful. john also testified about how deep u. s. involvement in this conflict ease. there has been a usaa participation in the war when i was in the international legion, there was a he was like a military intelligence officer from the navy. ah. and he listened. yeah. and he had a, well, he was in the foreign legion and he had a satellite phone and a computer provided by the c i. and every day he would call his contacts and he would get some information about the positions troop movements and so on. and so forth and jim, his name. yeah, yeah. or is it, i might not. what was his name? is he on so?

sorry, i can't remember 1st name, at least i like marcus or some like that. like for example, they would provide like grid coordinates. the wealth of information he has provided is already being used by the russian military and law enforcement who have leased of war crimes. and now even more names to them. or his years of work ahead. but we had one final question for john a year after all is a long time. if he, i mean they're going to watch this. they did, they're going to see this. busy people, the people you, you served with. what would you say to them? are all fair in love and war. you know. it is what it is aspires exist, you know. and i'm a spar and mission mission accomplished with her. yes, awesome. more at gas,

dia archie from moscow grange allies of the syrian pushing cave into tall swim. also, if you queen failed to regain its loss territories before autumn. but according to german tabloid build, citing and none of us government sources both in washington and berlin. yeah, let's also say you close the western back as a not ready to provide him with security guarantees, such as nathan membership, with some referrals indicating french and german leaders even try to engage ukraine in negotiations with russia back in february, march. because those his conditions were a diplomatic solution of the conflict, have been rejected outright by president that asking pass amid jo biden's pledge of readiness by western powers to emit 3 support, heave for quote. as long as it takes proves war,

congress is failing. freedom is priceless, it's worth fighting for as long as it takes. and that's how long we're going to be with you, mister president, for as long as it will. correspondent, johnny miller says nato that hopes of defeat. russia on the battlefield could drain the blogs, odeman. she capabilities as the conflict drags on it's an attempt by native damage rushing power internationally and even to, to great russia to the 3 elements in nature right now trying to continue to try to damage russian power. they failed sanctions. they fail to over the come on the russian government. now they're trying to rush on the battlefield that ultimately nature isn't able to give you claim the amount of power, the amount of weapons, the amount of manpower, the longer this will goes on. the most likely scenario of ending is either the

ukraine runs out of mountain power or the nato is unable to continue financing and funding ukraine in terms of. ready with weapons and with, with arms. if you create sovereignty right now, because it's needs to be the united states are controlling and cranium policy. ukraine had sovereignty of it's brutal sins. like now, it might be a good time now to negotiate rather than risk losing more challenging well than 250 you think, who's having killed as the russian. me as you can t is. it's advanced through the didn't ask republic. according to the defense ministry, we spoke exclusively about the latest updates on the front lines of the head. the dentist republic dentist push it in and as such an adult center, one of our tel mosque is really in the spotlight right now. also recently 2 settlements were liberated, so severe kafka and jaeger, matt wilson,

which allowed wagner to get closer to settlements, that allow them to squeeze the ring tighter around our tumble system, taking into account that there are no longer any roads or enemies supply lines. there are not under fire under the operational control of our units halter. this greatly complicates the already difficult situation for the enemy in the city itself, walkable. we also saw that the enemy blew up the dam, trying to slow down the advance of our units. but could not create critical difficulties for our troops with the enemy continues to transfer additional reserves, which characterizes the severity of the battles that our units are conducting. daniel sco, sometimes our troops, wagner do do the impossible, but move forward. you will see there are significant improvements in the update direction as well in the questionnaires to split just suddenly. jill, it's if you're still good at health, like everything is being done by the other side to the feet are all means it, all this is being done using civilians. we did get that impression recently that on which my practical social,

this is already they established practice of the armed formations of ukraine in general, the ukrainian regime to create the most difficult conditions for the civilian population sales. this is what the current blockades are connected with, and those that have been in place since 2014 will do. at some point, this tactic became even more cynical. we see that better and seen and tear restore going, ization se 93 people have already been injured, including 8 children from petal mines dropped by drunk. so some his name g as he kind of scattered band pedal miles throughout residential areas in a done us republic. auntie is run closer. this is a local hospital where he spoke to a child injured by the dead. the weapon several districts here in dallas have been under fire by the ukrainian military in the last 48 hours. as a result, several people were wounded. all of them are being taken to these hospitals, but apart from a shilling residential areas, ukraine are all so planting,

so called petal mines mines that are designed to make a person for life. these people are also in this hospital right now. we'll talk to the head doctor who will tell us about them. which 9 submitted video for flip the since last summer we've been actively receiving the victims of petal minds 2 or 3 people a day. we work with the media, inform the public that the injury from such a mine is very severe and immediately leads to a handicap. it's almost impossible to say the foot and the lower part of the leg. unfortunately, many of our civilians, including children, have suffered from this insidious mine. children are stepping on them. some even picked them up. by raising awareness we managed to reduce the number of such cases, but they still exist. one or 2 a week. 93 people had become victims of the soul. colds at that's all or butterfly, mine's his thought of the special minutes. reparation of those 93 people. 8 were

children. one of the latest victims he is in this dorm right now. his name is mazar . i will talk to him and go tell me the story of how it happened. was it a shall. so stay told rosie, when i was returning from the store, i met some friends and stopped to talk to them. there were all the people walk in there on the road side. when i got into the car, i stepped on a paddle mine. it was visible, all the garage in the area was trampled image. see for those when i like one student with who's in the must say, do i with the with well i want to take up sports if i can not to feel. yeah. he stopped on the man on the side of the road. there is cross snacks to eat so many people had walked past, but he was unlucky. the doctor said his like as much as they could. you can see for yourself what condition the like is in the thing is are all intact, but we still need to see how they will move and function. you were constantly undefined when i was on my way to the hospital now there was have

a shelling shell recently fell into the courtyard. all the windows were blown out. everything isn't a white folk, it's dark on the right side of the house. the corner was completely destroyed. it's very scary. almost 4 and a half 1000 people have been killed here in dunn abbas by ukrainian artillery since the start of the special military operation. 132 of those victims were children to right now as i speak, the shelling of her residential civilian areas here in the next continue hen. as the day progresses, we might hear of more victims from one cause for f r t than that's republic. erac one says past would be drawn into composition for access, so africa, the french presence would come ahead of his upcoming trip to the concert, which could prove imbedded full after strong recent opposition to frances presence . there isn't take of our team contributor rachel knows him. let's face it,

knock holes, big new french strategy in africa. speech was always going to be about how paris was going to maintain a foothold in africa after being booted out of its traditional stomping grounds. so that's a hell region where it's stability and security and counter terrorism operations lead to who's in places like molly and jihad is running around with about as much discipline as french kids, on a school reg, talk about terrorists. so african countries are increasingly opting for deeper cooperation with russia and china as a result of basically france and west fiascos are increasing fiascos. and that makes paris and the west in general, really nervous. so now michael has just announced that he suddenly does not believe in military contests between countries, i guess because france is losing on that footing in africa. so he's just going to change the rules. now. i mean, kind of like we did in preschool and we are playing games. we didn't like that. we

were losing, he basically said that africa should not be reduced to grounds for a military measuring contest. so he's declaring a quote, end of a cycle for france in africa. francis military footing has been used by others. he says to say that france only had a security agenda. so what is michael's big idea now? well, there was a clue that was going to be about money when he made a positive reference in his speech, frances financial community of africa's fokker. so it was the currency that existed in france before the euro. he referred to it as one of frances big contributions to the continent. but here's what italian prime minister jersey maloney sad about this ca park in 2018 where so monday, you know, this is a child who acts in a gold mine in booking our fossa. it's one of the poorest nations in the world, france prince colonial money from kena faso,

which has gold in return they round at 60 percent of everson, burkina, faso exports ends up in the coffee of the french treasury. the gold, this child goes down the channel to extract mostly ends up in the coffee of the french state. so the solution is not to take the africans and bring them to europe . the solution is to free africa from satel europeans who exploited and allowed his people to leave of what they have. so now michael wants to build on that when he considers a wonderful symbol of french african cooperation, which is quite controversial for a lot of africans, especially with respect to sovereignty over their own currency. to focus on investments in health care, education, digital technology, sports culture, small business. it seems the mackerel has literally just discovered soft power. so instead of going into african countries under the pretext of helping with security and sticking around long after the situation gets even worse in hope of eventually

scoring some natural resources. so basically, the american model knock hall is now proposing to go in with footballs, french style, philosophical debates, maybe some johnny holiday cds with the hope that all of this might ultimately help to shake loose some sweet, sweet african resources. presumably, he said that france is going to defend its interest, but also do a respectfully of africans. not sure how admitting that you're taking a different approach to manipulating them as being respectful. but okay, looks like washington is also trying to see if it can be self serving the influential by using sweetness and handy instead of bombs. literally, that is what you ask 1st lady joe biden did recently in namibia by giving out candy eminem's to kids. of course, all these investments that mark hold talks about will ultimately benefit french firms in africa. that's always been the case with us in western investments on the

continent. but it seems like they're trying really hard to create this time if p r friendly, guy, image of candy and rainbows, all white washing, their militaristic, failed, militaristic, and background of militarism. all kind of trying to portray russia and china as the bad guys. now to the latest development from the general elections in nigeria vote counting is on the way to determine the next president and parliament of africa. most of this nation with preliminary results show the people's democratic policies candidate, i think who will book or has secured one western and 4 north eastern states buller

to new. from the ruling. all progressives, congress policy leads in 6 regions, mostly in the west, while the labor policies pizza will be got the most pose in full states, including layoffs, which was lost by state governor tin abuse policy for the 1st time in decades of the state of cano has been won by another candidates representing the new nigerian peoples policy. and while the results of the val continue to be announced, some candidates have already dish. there's a concern about the results. peter, all these a labor party stated that it has lost confidence in the results being collated and announced demanding a revision of the results or the complete cancellation of the elections. b to all the one the majority and the he states of legals. but a policy representative leads, the results were under estimated we know that we believe that that is it

to representation of the, of the electrodes of it. we know and now it just not on the non public news that much, you know, the cheese. so i show you more than what was before to happy that all these rivals from the de alotted peoples by the also rejected the preliminary results. machine protests on monday and seeking to stop the election through the courts. the apc campaign council has accused the policy of attempting to throw the country into constitutional crisis. on t africa's correspondent caribella, topler brings us more. the intention here was to have electronically transmitted results to the ionic server in a boucher being transmitted electronically. and ionic has been unable to do so in many of those instances must abaca general a boob,

a column. the other hand has said that it's unbecoming of ionic and the security forces to not address the issues that have mod this elections. and those include vote to suppression our violence as well as intimidation that have come to mob these results saying that without addressing those they, they give further illegitimacy to the results that are being announced from a boucher. but here's the picture, as we know so far, foreign observers have also called on, on ironing to not overlook the irregularities that have come to characterize these results. seeing that anything less than that gives illegitimacy to the fed results. but here's the big job that we know so far. a p, c. b, lead here by bowler to know who has captured or has managed to win. at least 6 of the 37 states that make the federal republic the a p. c. as low as the,

followed by the p v that the people as democratic party and they are led in this or in this regard by article backup. and they have claimed 5 states, according to the results coming out of a boucher and those states include either my law or soon gone bit. yorba and cut in a state casino plus is the state that my mama due to the coming of nigeria emanates from that is something unheard of that you find that the state of origin of the current head of the is being one by the opposition. but of course the 3rd leg in the stick. so puzzle is the labor and labor being represented by the p o. b. as also, according to the results emanating out of the correlation santana,

boucher claimed for states and those dates are nice that our all new good order as well as where we are right now. the state of labels, which is traditionally seen as the stronghold of general, a man who is seen as the invisible hand here, who continues to dictate how the machinations of power continues to happen in this state at the very least. and remember, this is important in the sense that it affects how the electrons are red, no candidate, regardless of our much vote they get, can win the national elections if they do not achieve that 25 percent threshold in at least 2 thirds of the states in nigeria, that means they have to win at least 25 percent of $24.00 states

in order to qualify to become president. and if that criteria is not met, that means we are in for our re run of these elections the be the v and labor as well as many others. while a party stays a walk out yesterday out of a boucher saying that they feel that the results emanating out of the correlation center really do not have any fan and do not have any legitimacy when it comes to how the state is red. but that if not the pol that we're finding out of a p c, which of course, is the leading in terms of number of things one. and they're saying that the and the result announcements must continue as is because they feel that any of their grief parties knows exactly where to go. should they have any grievances. and that 1st one of called is the nigeria is what of justice.

so a lot, i'm say, yeah, nancy is supposed to be for all the updates on the nigerian elections. i'm the future of the nation's children. 20000000 people of the next 4 years. all the big developments we've got you covered with ah ah ah

ah russia. he spied the puritan intellectually at politically, even in vain to war. pier went styling, was accused of isolating. russia with his 5 year flies and so was styling never wanted to exclude does exclude russia from western trade. from western economist, ah, churchill goal was to preserve the british empire. the united states wanted an open world in which american dollar could penetrate,

which american trade would have access everywhere, and to markets and to labor add to resources around the globe. so they had very different kinds of conflict. the interest with john chill, whoo, installing of an impending attack on the ussr. ringback in the face of great danger, he seeks an alliance with russia, stalling doesn't reply. he doesn't trust churchill. hi. at 4 o'clock this morning, hitler attacked and invaded russia.
