elementary is as somebody who would tool cuz some sense into you've given you precaution. so there you have it. so right now, of course, it is a developing story and we will be bringing you all the latest as to how you've given you precaution. we ask since the latest statements made by the russian commander in chief at the same time, i'm a massive chunk of a rush and the federal, uh, federal road has been closed down some more than 300 kilometers over at this uh, this road leads from rest of to moscow and it has been closed uh, in the end of a run your region right now. these are gonna fight is i believe, to be some, if you, me, a kilometers from the uh, city of, of our owners and you've, any progression had previously promised that they are marching towards most cool. now. uh, so 5 judged by what we've seen, everything has remained largely peaceful. although the wagner, the wagner group has revealed that there are,

they have claimed that they shut down several helicopters that they said open fire against them. now the russian defense ministry has denied that those helicopters meant any harm towards uh, the wagner group. so again, this is a developing story and this is a fall from over, but so we will be closely monitoring the situation to bring you all the lights is indeed below full. it's all those old days. ego. thank you very much. i'm over to you now. say in st. petersburg. i believe you stood just outside the wagner headquarters the what's the situation on the ground? i can i can see a police car just behind you us. yeah, good morning peter. and again, i see your said this is of course a developing situation this morning in the city. we did visit several of mister precautions, ad business premises, and we can confirm that several of them have now being rated and taken under the control of the f. s. b and oman, and here at wagner's impressive corporate hage,

q, just on the outskirts of st. petersburg, a significant military and security operation is underway. and we believe the premises have been seized and are being searched at the moment. of course st. petersburg is a city of origin of, of the you have jamie pedagogy and this elusive, an interesting entrepreneur qualified as a pharmacist initially and then progressed into various businesses which culminated in 2015 with his foundation of the wagner, p. m. c. a private military contractor, which has grown into a very significant military force, of course, famous for its uh uh, so uh in st. petersburg, the city is com a. there's a, there's a large ash, jude and celebration on somebody which hasn't been cancelled. people are getting on with their business, but there is a sense that at the kremlin and the government in moscow, particularly now that we've heard present, improve and set out, is still very clearly about the position in moscow. regarding mr. goshen and wagner,

calling on individual fighters that come on is to lay down the rhymes that they would be treated with respect and re integrated into the standing russian army. given those comments by mister booth. and we now know that this is a serious situation where the crime that means at assigned down these man uh by whatever means it needs to do that. the st. petersburg is quiet. but as we can see at the assets on the premises that belong to mister per goshen, we can tell you that we have seen the fs. be specialist center. those areas are the elmo and i've taken control of the corporate h q here. when does he go said we're going to be here to bring you any developments as they occur, peter will say, from say, turning us from st. petersburg and you go to and it will transcript public. thanks very much to both of those updates and we look forward to hearing from you again throughout the day as this story continues to unfold. thank you. oh, area versus

a federal security service opened a criminal case against wagner. chief if guinea pig goes in on charges of organizing and on the rebellion. now that's a crime. the kinds of jo sentence between 12 and 20 years of the russian army general survey sort of became as cold from wagner to stop as rebellion and obeyed the orders of the russian president. yeah, but as you go so i a b will be the commanders and soldiers sold involved in a bmc. we have come a long way together. we have fought together. we have taken risk together. we have suffered losses together. we have one together. we are one blood we are warriors. i urge you to stop before it's too late. it is necessary to be the orders, the president of the russian federation, to stop the con, voice, to return them to their permanent basis. the sol over problems peacefully under the leadership of the supreme commander in chief of the armed forces of the russian

federation. or they must go all sorts these have announced a counter terrorist operation, raising the end that's been introduced in the capital of most public events in the city have been cancelled. as of the police, cortez was seen in scolding military vehicles near the kremlin in the early hours of saturday morning, as well to follow all the latest developments of the russian military group baldness with 1000000000 and much more. do you feel free to check out all websites, all the adults, the, even on to all the news now to just use the president's has said the international monetary funds, conditions for providing financial aid to the country, threatened civil peace. i made the remarks during a meeting with the organizations moneys and direct to impart on thursday, the president of the republic made it clear that the am as conditions by providing financial support to janasia, unacceptable, because they would affect civil piece, which has no price. the president of the republic stressed that he would not accept

a single drop of blood being said. now to see it has been insults with the math over balance for months. now, i can also be twins. $22.00, the 2 sides agreed on alone for the countries present to refuse to sign the bill. and it would, it gives us the bait all the to the, the sticking points of being the i m. s. request to scott, fuel and food subsidies. students yet is one of several countries questing the us stick loan conditions. process of being seen across the lot in america, the middle east and north africa and be some years after governments in those regions implemented austerity packages of the i m. s. request. large demonstrations against the global financial institution also broke out. so, you know, just so you know that this, yeah, let me suggest that you do, we need says that although the i the loan consulting issues problems, there are no alternatives on human institutions must be reformed to address the challenges faced by the world's voice countries. not only with the if we can, so solution solution is more complicated,

but i see it right now. we don't have any of that as soon as we have to do a lot of time. yeah. and as you probably have the most of also you've seen support, but actually we don't have any eh, anything officially given the native nation. um, uh, given ization in relation we're going to united emission shouldn't be reviewed again because the world is it changing and we get to the store in the by clicking the, the, the arch my year and the menu us using get distorted to so the sort of thing that's the only people that guarantee afraid to buy these vision somehow shouldn't team together. and we do have a new new vision,

sushi. but they don't seem that you can. so this new challenges by and these are the execution centers. so these are, and you, a mistake in africa as in bob way heads towards presidential elections is august, the country's economy is proving to be surprisingly resilience despite the 21 years of us sanctions, local reports, a couple, a goldman. so me spoke to these and bobby and information minister, who believes the measures are aimed at vision change at once known as the brake law, states of africa as above what is experiencing some of its west economy crises which of lift citizens scrambling for food as prices have risen up to 8 to 6.5 percent in the last year. so maybe one of the highest annual inflation rates in the world. if that is not accepting enough business as a contending with power outages and an unstable local currency. which last,

just and that 90 percent of its value in the 1st 6 months of this year and working towards building a business in love with the minister of information and communications is only diplomatic mission to south africa. to share the state of reading this using baldwin of these, we are making me to point that to we make use of the natural resources we have in our country and to pull this good, give them just to assist you direct to the benefits of the said the steel industry, which we're looking at for the equipment making, it applies to a cup of water. we have been building, demons, took about electricity. the us hasn't posed to states of sanctions and one for specialty designated nationals to undermine the democratic processes. the directives prohibits any american citizen or entity with such people or entities from zimbabwe to stick and states of sanctions, which on some 4th, direct any us citizen in a position of influence and international financial institutions to brook credits

to them. but with, with some seeing or arguing that somebody's inability to borrow from financial institutions have more to do with best data then sanctions. it's also given that the sanctions can be a deterrence to some risk of this invest is many companies and some bob way have gone. and if the i'm able to procure goods and services from here to canada, it's free via the us and the u. k. u to be sanctions imposed by the width is equal sanctions because do we need to impose to that proof of united to seize a sentence will really resume change ident be we put so that took place the struggle with the people involved with so that the screen between the one to visit or for the cited button, which is really what's involved with. so in a way that they closed the faxes i was in public to leave because as you all with some but with that video and that is was full. so when sensors we impose on to the

bible was closed, we can get that puts in flow equipment isn't bubbling, parliament has cost a controversial patriotic folder. criminalizes 86 is in me, safari deployments of foreign governments. the function of these in terms of association assembly as well as speech it has how is that being made was harsh and some mixed reactions. while critics m b o position c, it is the most a code you ever passed in the countries post colonial history of presidents. and now douglas is, it's modeled along the lines of the us as logan for a very long time and i'll come to this. so much pull out a vision and outside influence from foreign detectors who just didn't want to seize and bob winds working together and seeing you as in baldwin. it's important to be sure to move smoke, to bring sanctions involved with. let's not to go out there and to bring

in bring functions food stamp with the people in the announcements of the election dates for them. but we've built upon feelings of both hope and to speak for many of us citizens. will this round bring a box change and slowly turn the wheels towards the bulb is glory days. when we time will tell me for our fee, just an awful. so i'm the sporting news. the international olympic committee has suspended the international boxing association for line russian and better. it's not face it's competes under the national flags of the presidents. all the i'd be marketing bill says the suspension was a purely political decision and will be appealed. the police have a 0 is this, is there a kind of explosion they thought they hands us within that to make bomb. but in fact, they hid themselves here on the contrary, their authority has fall within their transparency and all this to you as well. they're scoundrels,

so now we need to act in order to prove and defend our independence, will demonstrate our rightness and do everything possible to ensure that there are no more sides due to political leaders in the olympic system. the all you'll see today all puppets and the heads of the organization has not hesitated to say that this is a political decision. i'm sure that the international books in association will prove its case. and those who participated in this for not be allowed back into sports, we'll do our best to make it so we're, we're not particularly affected by the decision. so the olympics will be held without us, but they did not exclude box in as a discipline. they want to make money, but we are different than that. we invest money in sports and the all you all see makes its money and leaves at the expense of them. the all you see as billy of send asked, leads, did not receive any of the money, even their manuals, how those gold or medals, how may the fewer goals, according to their name, let them learn from us how to attract sponsorships and make sure the money goes to

the athletes who make the sports happen, us the international boxing associations recognition as a global sports, but it was stripped by the international olympic committee. now i'd be a tried to have the decision of suspended by a, an urgent appeal to the court of sports arbitration. but his request was denied and their thoughts, the ivr. so you concluded that the boxing association failed to make the necessary reforms set by the committee back in 2021. now, in the same reports, the olympic committee also criticized the association sponsorship deal with the russian energy joint gas problem, which was terminated nearly 2 years ago. then in october 2022, the i b over ton to bundle and russian and deliver some boxes and became one of a few global sporting organizations to permit them to compete with the national flags. and since the time the association argued, the politics should not have an influence on sports. but to mock themselves says that by binding athletes from the olympics that we'll see is violating the sports

trotter. i need to, but they don't provide documents. how can there be something wrong this i'll pay to athletes? it's the all you see coming to the financial fraud and we're going to make sure it's made public and fight it now. world's them on their account to not shed lights on their financial minute relation. we won't just leave it to that. it is said that the it has done more for boxing in 2 years. the new york team has done it 3040 years and that's board functionaries. forget their purpose at the audio, see, they're supposed to protect and promote the interest. so fastly, it's national federations. i bring people together. this is a social movement, not someone's corporation. just look at how see officials get huge salaries. do the athletic gets royalties from them. know in the be the president know the vice president receive salaries work for the good of boxing to make this board. that's

a thomas buck as a swindler and domain names to gates of the collapse of the o. c. villain big family. got rid of him. the sports wouldn't be in such a terrible stage to ben athletes from the olympics is already the violation of the sports charged to balk is involved in international political games, making international sports for the ration since of puppets. for the ration do not comply, the threatened to expulsion from the olympics. watch how the boats, the results, how prepared in advance and the o. c. mabis, are there instances thrown out of the organization? of all the latest on wagner, p. m. c's on rebellion and most of on done as well as a president putin's address to the nation. all to dot com is your place to go. my name is peter scotts, and i'll see you right back here at the top of the hour. thanks a lot. the,

the the the, the

the, and we've told you in the past about the u. s. department of veterans affairs. it's an enormous sprawling bureaucracy and is one of the most poorly run departments in the entire us government investigators. they're deal on a daily basis with things like fraud, investment, drug crimes and other white color issues. but imagine going to work one day and learning that you're not needed to investigate these routine white color crimes. instead, you're needed to investigate a serial killer. and even worse, a medical serial killer assessed to a passive works under color of helping patients as a medical professional, a doctor or a nurse. i'm john kerry onto welcome to the whistle blowers the

. 2 2 2 2 2 our next guest is that rare person who has seen the darkest part of the underbelly of society. ru sacrament is a renowned investigator specializing and tracking down medical serial killers and is in demand as a consultant on the subject all over the world. he's a former special agent in charge of the ne field office of the criminal investigations division in the us department of veterans affairs office of the inspector general, where he was responsible for criminal investigations into a 195 veterans affairs facilities. he's a licensed private investigator and is the president of the society of professional investigators in addition to his professional credentials, he is the co author of the highly acclaimed book behind the murder curtain, special agent, bruce sacrament, hans doctors and nurses who kill our veterans,

bruce sacrament, welcome to the show. we are so happy to have you. so thank you very much. i'm actually honored to be here today, while the pleasure is online. i've been looking forward to this for a long time. i have to tell you this conversation is, is going to be fascinating for me personally. there are probably fewer than a dozen people in the united states who have had a career focused on serial killers and even fewer who have focused on medical serial killers. before we get to that specialization, tell us a little bit about your career and about how you got started in investigations. sure. well i, i started investigations are probably by watching too many colombo shows. you know, i'm not seeing a big, tough, dirty harry kind of guide, but i used to watch columbia and i, so you know, i could do that. this guy is more brains and brawn,

and i really like that. so i started out as an investigator with the us department of defense and i was investigating contract fraud and procurement for a line. and it was pretty interesting. and then jimmy carter way back when began offices of inspector general's in every federal agency. so every page of federal agency at that time and now just about every agency has an office of inspector general and most offices of inspector general all kind of torn to different directions. one is in the office of what it and one is in office of criminal investigations. i was responsible for the office of the criminal investigations for the ne united states. and i had a tremendous smorgasbord if you will, of cases to pick and choose from. because hospitals well hospitalized big cities and any kind of crime that could occur in a big city could almost kind of happened in the hospital. you know,

we had procurement for or contract for what we had drug diversion. think of all the narcotics that are in the hospital. i mean we have the most complex scientific equipment to inexpensive items like diapers and everything in between. and we have with very, very constructive security and medical records. so running the hospital is a very, very complex job, unfortunately, is a big opportunity for some criminal activity. now what the v a, i must preface my remarks by saying that the old oh well, i'm going majority of the most honest, hard working, dedicated compassion and people you ever want to me? absolutely, yes, no, i didn't said there is a very, very tiny percentage of people that will take advantage of the system. and

unfortunately they have victims on nations heroes. and that's really terrible. so i was really on it in 2 weeks since i was on it to be in federal law enforcement. and i was honored to have a position that worked out for veterans that actually helped us secure safety and security and the best health possible for our nation's heroes. it was a wonderful, wonderful position to be. and you had a long career at the department of veterans affairs. tell us about the case that made you an expert on medical serial killers. i have to assume that somebody doesn't just wake up one day and decide to start killing people. they operate on detected sometimes for many years and we're talking about doctors and nurses here. how did this all begin in that big case? well, you know,

i'm working all these other cases that i just described. and all in one day, my phone rings, and i get a call from the chief of psychiatry at the northwood long island, b a medical center. and she says, bruce, oh, you're not gonna believe this. but we have a doctor working here who spent time in prison, to pause ending his co workers. and i'm looking at the phone and i'm from looking at my calendar. it says this april 1st is this like some kind of april fools, a joke or something. you know, and she says, no, bruce, this is really true. now what? i didn't think in the united states of america, you could spend time in prison for poisoning people and come out and be a physician. so i was wrong and natural, it started the story of a dr. michael swain. know the michael swindle killed people, not only united states, he killed people with the world. do you know when he was in medical school, john,

when he was in medical school, he was known as double swine. go license to kill all my gosh. white fellow students in medical school and then to the dean and they said, you know, the, we don't think these guys when bill should really be a physician and the dean said, what do you know you're only students on the dean. i think he could be a doctor, but i think he needs more training. so let's keep him for about 6 months longer. right. next thing, you know, he ones up in ohio state university and he's killing people. and he winds up being in m e n t, and he actually toys him, his co workers invited his co workers and he said, hey guys, you know, you work so hard at some donuts in the donuts and they all got sick that night. and he calls them up, he says, tell me, will you symptoms tell me everything that happens? he's re losing the excitement of poisoning people,

not only when he actually put the boys in on these donuts, but hearing how they suffered. hm. and it turns out that the donuts were actually sprinkled with loss, and they called me saying that these in teams are not stupid. about 2 weeks later it comes in with some ice tea and they have the ice t test it. and it's loaded with awesome that wow, and the police didn't fantastic job and he gets 3 years in jail to boys and his co . ready workers and then he comes out and he's a doctor again. it to be a lot. it seems impossible. how can anybody pass a government background investigation and have your license? yeah. and have your license reinstated? yes. well i'll tell you this, this guy. it's an incredible sociopath, you know, he was, he wasn't ex marine and he got out of prison. and he gave the store, he says, you know, i'm an ex marine, i got 5,

i got an a bottle in the roll. but here's a piece of paper from the governor, restoring my civil rights. nobody checked it, nobody verified it. and the next thing, you know, there is a doctor again, this time out in the west coast, and it'd be a facility and he's doing well. he's actually engage to be a nurse. and then the story comes out and uh, everything turns terrible for him and his fiance and his fiance, her name was kristen kenny. just a beautiful, beautiful young lady. and she goes home to mom and she says, you know, mom, i really love this guy. swining go, but i can't live with them anymore after i heard what happened. you know, but when i was living with him, i was getting all these headaches for some reason, headaches. but i, i feel better now. and the next thing, you know, swank book shows up at the door. and he so charming the charms is way back into

hawaii. and about 2 months later, she can't take it anymore again and she goes to the park. she takes out a gun and she blows a brains out of my going. and can i go for that? can you will actually you can because even though she shot her cell and the family had the body cremated, they kept a lock of hair. and her hair was loaded with austin a. u. manga was even poisoning his own fiancee. flow to make a long story short, he actually lot winds up in my neighborhood at the northwood long island, b a medical center and you know, something interesting. he was there on a residency and it guess what, what particular medical field in psychiatry that he had to go on front of the board of training. so i kind of just and can you this each and every one of them that he.
