9:03 pm
supposed to be on board this flight. and according to the emergency surfaces, all 10 people on. busy unfortunately weren't killed, but we do not have any sort of official confirmation that pre gordon was one of them yet. or we don't even know if there's going to be an official confirmation of that. or we don't even know if he was actually on the plane itself. although, like i said, according to this list, he was supposed to be now, according to the federal air traffic agency, they've put together a specific committee to investigate what actually happened on board the plane. what caused this crash to happen? and the russian investigative committee is looking into it has a case of potential criminal negligence. they think that there could have been some a violations of airspace safety rules that played into what brought this plane down . now, of course, there are a lot of questions that are left on answered so far and this developing story,
9:04 pm
but we're going to be here throughout the night and into tomorrow so that we can hopefully get some answers to those questions and get some more information that we can bring our viewers a while it has yet to be confirmed whether you have gaining per goes and was indeed on the judge. rumors about his potential death have been quickly spreading. people have already set up a memorial outside the wagner groups headquarters in st. petersburg, as well as at the entrance of a cafe, closely associated with pre goshen. earlier my colleague, peter scott discussed to the wagner leaders long and at times controversial career was r t correspondent shape bows. i suppose these are mine now that needs very little introduction. a global stage, you've got any pre goes in this cars might make very colorful carter who has a sort of preoccupied a lot of our time in the media here and abroad. born in 1961, to an average family and the soviet union in leningrad as it was then called, now saint petersburg. as on an average,
9:05 pm
i hoped bringing. he spent some time actually uh, in brushes with the law. the 1st when he was a convicted of a minor of fraud, i believe, and he got to a couple of months probation 2nd time round. she at a got a prison sentence of significant presence and some of the 13 years of what you serve. 2 years and a penal colony, he got part in the 1988 and that the cygnus for that kind of change. and in his life he was a very talented or is a very talented and entrepreneur. everything he turned his hand to attempted to do very big. he begun and st. petersburg by sending cost dogs, but ended up operating a large chain of at the supermarkets initially. then restaurants, which culminated in him actually running at the new river restaurant the most. uh, sort of a lavish restaurant in russia where had stayed off and met and hosting big big
9:06 pm
events. so it's really in 20142016 when he diversified into the p. m. c. area and the private military contractors, the wagner group, which had an elaborate and extensive reach into africa and other countries assisting their militaries or militias fighting in the regional conflicts and invited in and funded by them. and this is where for goes and when it comes to international recognition. and certainly so in june of this year, when one of his very public spots with the russian ministry defense, the wagner group playing a central role in the military operate just thing you find particular around in the city of blackwood, which was the scene of a very brutal battle between as the wagner fighters supported by the russian military defense. and of course, the ukrainian military, pre goshen having very public spots with the ministry defense calling out the defense. some is to show you a demanding, a better uh, servicing for as far as troops, equipment shelves,
9:07 pm
etc. and it was the last of these and june last year, which culminated in this march on moscow as it became known, where he had decided he was going to take a significant force of his fighters the so i'm heavy military equipment on march on moscow to make his way towards the capital to confront, as he said, the heads of the administrative defense about his issues with them. this culminated in a statement by president putin, very clearly standing at the stall that the russian states saw this as a, as an act of rebellion or a mutiny essentially. and it is made very clear to mr. pre goes and on his and his followers that this was going to be met with a significant respond from the russian states painfully. it was a de escalate it in a bloodless way the over the where some people, unfortunately kill on that occasion. also, airman, it was uh, the escalated and part of that deal was that, do you have any promotion would leave ocean go to bella, russia,
9:08 pm
which is where he was last seen. interestingly, many days ago, you'll get any previous version turned off in africa. and he made some quite atlanta statements of ed working for russia in africa. we can actually have a listen to that statement he made no, i'm all of them. we are working. the temperature here is plus 50 degrees celsius. just how we like it. wagner is carrying out recognizance, making russia even greater on all continents and africa, even more free, bringing justice and happiness to the peoples of f guns. we are giving i sold al qaeda and other bandits a nightmarish time. we are now hiring true warriors and continuing to carry out the assigned tasks, the ones we have promised to complete. yeah, was it just a very interesting element to the story, peter, when a pre goshen was heading wagner and fighting against the ukranian army and making
9:09 pm
his very public statements challenging the russian ministry of defense. she was adopted by the western media on occasion, as a terrorist leader lead or of a very brutal group fighting against the ukraine. and on another occasion, as of mine who was carrying a noble standard towards the crime that when he decided to make his march on moscow . so this ala carte view and the west of what a good guy is and what a bad guys seems to be based on the enemy of my enemy. as a friend, if you're not into russian, you're a good guy. if you're in pro russian, you're a bad guy. so i suppose this attitude now is being carried forward in the west or earlier on the west or mediately it off with sort of a speculation in the vacuum. we're not actually knowing what was actually going on here and motion as we still have some facts to flash out as well before we make these days. but the western media, very eager to add, jump to so position in this in this vacuum, even the us president joe biden making
9:10 pm
a statement this evening. and we can actually ever listen to that note. i don't know for, for the most part it's not much working out. he says himself, i don't know what the facts are, but that seems to be the, you know, a pre so position of a lot of stuff. the west of media says when it comes to what's going on, the rush of peter, and so it's no surprise to us. but you can imagine heavy level of energetic sol position and conspiracy to realizing that will go on around this as we way here in moscow. for more evidence, before we even make statements here, ourselves on out to the complex in ukraine, you rushes, defense ministry says its troops are continuing to repel you printing assaults on the southern front lines as they make advances further. no, as moscow's military said in the past 24 hours for several ukrainian and nato supply,
9:11 pm
the artillery systems were destroyed. russian air defense systems also shot down 18 drones and a half hours missile. reports are also coming in that russian forces are moving further into a northern part of the gas for public. our chief ego is done. i've sent us this report from the ground to a good. the flush is offensive here in the north of the la guns republic as the port new challenges for the artillery cruise. it's not just the salt teams that have to push forward here. when the front moves, it has to do so as one, wherever the infantry goes, tillery follows large data knowledge in itself, to, to stick with the stuff that you ordered in the us to do. do you want us to do mobile? i mean out of the sort of voice instead of a lot of horses good enough. oh
9:12 pm
good. it's the drum beats of this deadly symphony. and like in any dogs, it takes 2 to tango. every step forward for russia means a step back for ukraine, for the student loan during our results, the enemy is now lost 3 hard points. we squeeze them out of there, the enemy retreated to reserve positions and are now trying to actively conduct engineering work there. our task now was to prevent this. we try to suppress targets by showing them where identify these targets by using drones. would you give us the coordinates so we can fire and look at to crypt key of troops that this dig in stage is crucial for russia. ukraine in forces have proven the reputation as true. maggie's build is. the choice is simple. prevent that. will grind them down for months. i make is done of reporting from the don't bass or

9:14 pm
a guidelines and principles processes for considering countries that wish to become members of the brakes. the more detailed announcement will be made by the brick fleet as before, the conclusion of, of the summary. so that's very positive, i think as well the establishment of the women's alliance with the brakes is extremely important and use formation. for the 1st time we had 2 young people, 2 young lead is addressing the brakes leaders and in a very, very i to, to positive and inspiring mind. setting out the explorations of young people, of the brakes. countries for the role that they hope of bricks will play in the development of young people. and the responses for the leaders are insightful as well. focusing on skills is key areas,
9:15 pm
but also welcoming our youth. one global partnership. so want to relate to each other across the regions that make up breaks the russian farm. this is a life of this how talks with his south african count the ponds and that i depend on in pretoria. the top different as discuss the expansion of biological ties between the 2 countries, early a south africa as president on summit toys that serial. i'm gonna say is that it's just the vital need for international cooperation. advancing the african agenda for us is a strategic priority. a, so the africa, jordan, it's tara ship of briggs. we welcome the ongoing engagement of fix countries without free con, in the spirit of partnership and mutual respect. bricks, nations needs to advance, the interest of the global solve for leaders have held it open plenary session just hours ago where they proposed
9:16 pm
a number of interesting points russian president valid to be put into his brits counterparts, attention to their geo political role, st. that block rejects neo colonial ambitions in embraces peace and conflict resolution. now let's go to our live correspondence. let's go to the videos. so were you going to be? yeah, it's nicky. i knew in the studio, take us through what was touched upon during the open session today. of course, the key at the new b, as you'll see, the 2nd dates possibly breaks segments. really start to move on to a very positive nose, a must say. and we had the aside from leaders from the bricks, nations and leaving some sort off as a mock and prisons and puts it hasn't joined as diversity via a video link to really gave us something that a lot of people around me tend to say that it was not expedited if the president told us that russia was working very hard just to establish
9:17 pm
a multi polar road that is, of course, based on a mutual respect and mutual appreciation. and also based on the policies of, of the united nations, the president. i think that this is weird now being surprised, came in for a lot of people to present a shade somewhere just on the ukraine conflict between russia, saying that to much of the actions by the wisdom countries. this was as a result of how russia my, i responded to the war between itself and ukraine. also saying that the wisdom countries really wanted to, to maintain that and continued the hedge, monique, and that's one of the reasons that the, the a made, the conflict turned out to be how it is it did. of course, it turned out that the president also said that to the actions of russia in the court and slips between ukraine really were pushed and dictated by wisdom. countries that we've seen those to where we will unanimously support the formation of
9:18 pm
a multi part of world order that is truly just them based on international law. while respecting the key principles of the un charter, including the suffering rights and respect for the rights of age, people to the own development model. our actions in ukraine dictated by one thing to put an end to the goal that was on least by the west and the satellites and ukraine against people living in the don't bass. with grateful twat breaks. colleagues who are taking an affective pump. and at times to end this situation and achieve adjust, settlement by peaceful means that the quest for peace is really what the narrative of the day was. and chopping those sentiments, i must tell you was the president present to me that the soul. but seeing that my brussel was also ready to join efforts in the conflict between the 2 countries and also very much so calling for peace and a ceasefire between the 2 countries also mentioned the fact that it's ukraine, a rule or rather do conflict. so the, the,
9:19 pm
the limitations and weaknesses of the united nations security council. and i think that the most important and the highlights of his speech was the fact that he mentioned that there was a lot of conflicts around the world. and a lot of schools and none of those concepts really received the kind of attention that to ukraine conflict to received. and that's the goal is to show the kind of one sided move that to wisdom catches continue to need. what did the president also quote on 6 nations to the, to the post is a piece excruciating around the world. but at least we, we are ready to join the assets, so that can effectively contributes immediacy. as far as the everlasting piece, the ukraine was shows the limitations of the un security council money. all the conflicts and crisis did not receive the due tension for events that are causing the suffering of the people. patients you have and it people lead bins to done using palestinians is asked to leave in peace. our trade in financial system should be reactivated as a to verify
9:20 pm
a trade predictable and non discriminatory creation of advantage common units for trade transactions and investments for the brakes. countries will increase payment options and reduce solve other abilities in cases everyone and all nations deserve to be in peace. and of course, as i've mentioned before, the quest for peace is a collective effort. and that's exactly what a lot of need is a to date. agreed upon that and the key. i mean i came to us cause live to come up with the toddler. now colorado focus through the main points. please would love to hear your thoughts. well, the big a united thing force behind the breaks countries has to remain economic cooperation. it is the driving force that will make them the grouping event is powerful, impactful, and influential when it comes to well, the 5th in the future. and it is that resist that so many and looking at the door
9:21 pm
trying to get into this exclusive club of 5 and trying to make the best of really catching a train that is really in motion and is going to be making some head wins in a little time, you know, the thing about bricks is that it was really set off. and when you cannot make partnership, but it was the development of the, the rather the initiation of the, of a bigger development bank that really should them into the next for the see, it allowed the different economies from difference fee is of, of the world to really you know, speak with one language to hi, list those energies even more and the use of, of local currencies as letting me a points, an intimate as of yesterday, the only 29 percent of transactions, data between bricks and numbers was done in dollars. that really goes to show just how independent the group is becoming just
9:22 pm
a and how let's fund or how less vulnerable is becoming especially to the american way of uh, of, of dealing with countries that they do not agree with. the dollar has been both incurred at mistake, and this regarding the use of local courtesies of the brakes. members has really allowed members to even share the, the, the, the liquidity share the volatility and really stabilize themselves with in themselves. now, the development of, of a new development bank of the briggs and goes to serve not only the 5 members, but the great uh, cells and community of countries is the opposite. i'm that we've had many treatments during our briggs, your name. the brooks in development bank plays an important role in the development of the countries of the global south, through its contingency reserve. we have created a financial safety net set. and i would also like to place in front of you a few suggestions. one of the most important ones, east operation in the area of space. we have already been working on the bridge
9:23 pm
satellite constellation, taking a step forward, we can think about creating a brief space exploration consortium. and today we just the use of india. uh, sending it's uh it's, it's the vehicle to the moon and making them more lending the image is just some of the power that the 5 countries could have. the if synergies among these members and the render moody is really speaking about what one might deem and i'm for seen the low hanging fruit. there is opportunity amongst the brakes and everything to do new members. strategically to this group, we had to ride to a more, more prosperous and a much, much more leading story of the economies of the global west. many thanks to both of our wonderful correspondence co roberts hotline, and i'm going to view your account that you've been absolutely fantastic and breaking all those points down for us. you know, it's
9:24 pm
a really interesting new new to see what each of the breaks leaders has had to say and what their expectations are for the future of griggs, that hasn't. it was stood out to you. oh absolutely. i think they all brought to the table chains that link them together and that is going to be one strong chain that won't be broken. and it's definitely a, you know, from creating space industries that will help lift these poverty through stricken nations to brokering m. o. use that would be building institutions, educational institution, and just there's just a plethora of things that they all promise that will, you know, come to fruition and i'm just looking forward to when those stays, come. absolutely speaking at the break, sent a recession early on wednesday, tony's president, caesar and things that's aging is on the wrong side of history, especially importance of cooperation and achieving sustainable global peace and
9:25 pm
prosperity last week. so the breaks countries should be followed companions on the journey of development and revitalization and impose the coupling and supply chain to disruptions as well as economic coersion. we should expand, political and security cooperation to uphold peace and tranquility. always spoke with a public policy expert to add at us of the by university uses. ethiopia is prepared to become a strong partner of the breaks group of nations because of its unique agricultural potential. well, i think it's airbus request for membership is very timely in a sense, because for one easier, if it has a huge are going to concern a land, it has a tremendous amount before the sources and reflect easier basically what the thought of for an order this stuff for kind of what our religious exports towards that are . i bought a 120000000000. could we meet tips of water every year to a neighboring countries. so their concern tension, what the tension and also the tip as
9:26 pm
a huge young population that's gonna work. and therefore, given the fact that the books come to me, so that was in russia, china had a huge other culture and investment countries. it's uh, the potential is very big. china is, is the strongly investing in the field. yeah. i'm looking, for example, is strongly investing in ethiopia. wisdom countries have been skeptical to invest in ethiopia because one of the reasons including the online clashed as are seeing different parts of the country. but the brooks come through to be a reasonably photos, china. and in terms of investing in this country, in a outgrow industry is number one. the mining industry has never been touched in ethiopia . we have, he's deposed software that has lenders that have yet to be expedited.
9:27 pm
and therefore i, i can see the e c office needs to join the brakes and the brakes a propensity to the talks of ccf, the member or even other parts enough for future investment. economic growth and cooperation have always been an integral part of the brakes agenda, and this current summit has been no exception. we spoke with a number of indian entrepreneur is attending the event. they shared their excitement about the atmosphere of partnership within the group of nations. i think for me, the biggest, biggest motion for the young ones were coming here is to understand what is the heads of the spirit of some of the fosters great economies thinking. and you know that, that driving insight is the energizing factor. the 2nd most important thing, which i saw was that there is such a viewing collaboration between 3 or 4 countries, which are the driving force meeting. that'd be china, abuse of africa we've received sitting off in the you know,
9:28 pm
you can only hope of doing business in some of these countries. we're coming here and meeting heaters and colleagues home the other mission. all of that seems to be a possibility. and i think that's the most exciting part coming dues plays with this. so the vice president mark amazing background, especially coming to georgia. all the notes mean that we're going to very strong this go to connect with this and all these dots for everybody yesterday do today. people are talking about peace, prosperity, growth, intervention. that's what we are looking for. we'll have much more a top notch analysis here on our tea is we bring you all the latest from the 15th annual break summit in south africa. don't miss our special coverage of the crucial global gathering.
