it from spreading so other floors. well, you can tell further into any of those stories by checking at ortiz, twitter feed, new updates, interviews, analysis, and plenty more besides, every few minutes or you will not be ah, mr. by he goes to care the west president's unannounced trip can be interpreted in a number of ways. is one of them an active desperation to keep washington's coalition of the willing together just before the anticipated russian, the offensive. we will soon find out ah, ah ah

ah ah i rick sanchez and i'm here to plead with you whatever you do, you do not watch my new show. seriously, why watch something that's so different. my little opinion that you won't get anywhere else. look of it please, or do they have the state department, the c, i a weapons makers, multi 1000000000 dollar corporations. choose your facts for you. go ahead. i change

bond dish. but i'm more so than america announcing to new actions that we are going to be taken to counter the russian private military company known as wagner. the department of treasury will be designated. wagner has a significant transnational criminal organization under executive order. 13581 as amended in coordination with this designation. we will also impose additional sanctions next week against wagner and its support network across multiple continents. these actions recognize the trans continental threat that wagner poses, including through its ongoing pattern of serious criminal activity. with these actions, and they'll be more to come our message to any company that is considering providing support to wagner is simply this. wagner is a criminal organization that is continuing wide. i'm sorry, committing widespread atrocities and human rights abuses. and we will work relentlessly to identify, disrupt, expose and target those, or assistant wagner. a little bit rich considering that there are dozens of

american private military companies currently operating around the world. so what's the defense? wagner is russian. and at the moment, anything russian is bad, we use these, you know, there is a rush. i said, well, i'm in africa called the wagner group. it's pronounced lag. now, if you've ever heard of the wagner group now is italian. wagner has been hired by the government for security services into gar, diamond in gold mines, also invited by the government of molly in west africa, and they are suspected to have been involved in a massacre and mora molly. and what they do is they do dirty work, they do assassinations, they do, military admissions, extortion, all kinds of things like that where rushes want to distance themselves from, from their made the regular army aided navy sales and guy known as wagner group,

a navy seals mainly do special operation, the wagner group they've taken over our whole country, while with our forces were officially requested in a number of african countries, including molly, an, the central african republic official from these countries. i've repeatedly stated the import, the help of the wagner group. as provided in conflict written regions, the central african republic parliament leader once again explains a significance of wagner's activities in his country. he are killed, 2 people were killed here, the c a r's army couldn't cope with it. but now thanks to the presence of our friends, the russian army, through wanda's army, the minutia troops were able to achieve peace and the central african republic. i don't know the wagner group. i only know that when our government signed an agreement with russia, the russian government provided us with the soldiers that, i mean, i'm not trying to find out which group president putin decided to send us to ensure security in the c a r. for us,

it's just russians who have arrived in the ca or for those of you not familiar with the terminology. wagner is a p. m. c, a private military company. now this is not something new for decades. governments have been hiring pmc is to assist the military's with operations, names like black water, triple can a p s loss, and frontier services group are a few that might be familiar to you. all of these are american owned and wait for it. interestingly enough, not considered terrorist by washington. so what's the difference for security reasons? i'll next interview we asked not to be seen on camera. he is a private military contractor who has worked with wagner in africa. hi. say, thank you very much for joining us. when have you been in africa and who have he worked for? well, my korean contracting started in africa, then move to the middle east and then come back to africa and i 2 years and the jobs all very similar to just depends which country and which government you're

working for at the time. how much do you get paid? if you don't mind telling us pay not as for pregnancy, we're very so much from contract to contact and job to job. you know you're doing stuff to guarding. it's one salary and if you're doing job b. s d work saturdays are completely different. but i think in general, you looking at anything from starting salaries from $8.00 to $12000.00 a month going all the way up to $20000.00 a month. and it's visual circumstances you do your cases where the gods are in $2000.00 a day, which gives you another indication on why the gods through the contract. what is the most interesting thing or things that she's done? the 1st time that our daughter, the wagner goes, was ignored, emergent because i had received a contract from the government to help con, stop terrorism activities. in the malls. they received a counter dorothy from

a dormant time. it wasn't because we were not employed by wagner, but as consultants on the side to help them with understanding of the area and sort of as locally as an offices just to assist him in performing that your choosing building was a big at that time, there were 3 or 4 different pm. she's operating the same area. but all those wagner was the biggest one. probably one of the best example shoes, fabia and she's, we used to be restored in the country, was in northern virginia when those letters were calling on color. if i didn't, all of the country even kidnapping over 200 school goals at one point the nigerian on forces couldn't stop them. and she was hired and took them a couple of weeks. there were bit equipped bit armed or bitter trained. and what's not, your insecurity forces were and was in a couple of weeks though able to push the surgeons right out of the north and calm

the whole situation done. something that the niger and armed forces couldn't do for 6 years. in what capacity have you worked with wagner? i think for each contract of the own. so pretty similar at the end of the day is that most of us started off in the armed forces. and once we, at least we had a certain fuel said retreat, we couldn't apply anywhere else, but to go to contracting. and if we take into consideration at the time, you know, the middle east, the spring up was iraq, afghanistan, syria, that was happening. so they will issue to move on the military gods, who are the right age going through some of these countries. ballenger arg was probably the beginning of contracting as we know today on a big scale where she's that existed years before that. but not on the sco luck resorting iraq where governments were contracting. gmc used to do government work for these supports about wagner doing all these bad things. have you seen them?

i assume you have and what do you make of them? i personally haven't seen any of your trustees wagner were accused over there working and wasn't b. i know that every time a p m, she does go to an area. there are a lot of horror stories. chances are my cellphone. you see that normally when you're dealing with bmc such as wagner, while the top you talk cause the folders that are created into those organizations on the exceptional soldiers or conduct themselves that way, you know, was the duration. are going to say that it has not happened, but i myself have not seen it, especially not with regular. how does the process actually work? so wagner is invited by a government to come an assisted. what happen from them? maybe what would happen if you get contracted africa? it's a government that doesn't, so the government would put out a call for help or directly contact pnc with a specific job,

they may be civil unrest. there may be violence that may be rebels in the area which the government cannot handle, cannot deal with that may not be equipped to deal with that that will that employ the pmc, whether it's wagner or another one to come out under the government. so they were directly with armed forces of the country. they work under the government and they work with government or internationally recognized by the united nations. so that government employs them under j. k. they, they go into the area and perform the duties, making the reserve, making sure that peace gets kept in the area. perhaps it would be in a lot of african countries. we have situations where, when the resources are being exploited by rebels in order to buy weapons, to fight governments. in those case, the pmc would then go and protect the natural resources that the money goes through to the government and not fall into ribble hands. this would be the more work is or

pmc being hired in africa. exactly. what happened in wasn't be, it's happened in so it's happened to me for asking the public lot extension of the seat. so the evidence is there were over the bmc is all hired by government directly to come and perform the duties that the government can perform. one of the amazing things that everybody talks a lot toward the future. but nobody mentioned to you as companies, casey and academy, among the most prominent problem, were the 2 companies operating in africa today in conjunction with the armed forces in african countries. what do you think of the us trying to brand wagner a terrorist organization? i think in my experience, working across africa and in the middle east, i think whatever doesn't shoot, united states is branded as terrorism. wagner is no different to any other american

pmc that's operating in africa was operated in iraq or afghanistan. it's exactly the same principle. it's just that i don't think the suits them, eric and narrative. i don't think it's the american agenda, which is why they paint everything with a terrorism brush. i think a lot of people, what a community has got to do with perception and perhaps the monopoly that the waste has on the mainstream praise. we do see a lot of africa as well, where we have troubles are now starting to be painted or the terrorism brush. and this allows for maximum force to be used in those situations. because it all falls under the umbrella of combat and duration. what is the difference between wagner and an american pmc like black water? if it's g, difference between she's operating today, whether it's wagner group, or there was black water from the old days. if you are in a frontier soon, she can re drag it out of china. i don't think there's a difference at all. the companies will start to the same way more or less the same

sort of people. there's actually no difference. so going to is a difference at all. i just think nowadays if you don't agree with wisdom narrative, you're completely branded a terrorist and outside of everything that i believe and no matter what functional who you're working for. today's double standards in calling one peace keeping force and the other one a terrorist organization. so i don't think there's a difference in the companies at all. i just a goods who's calling the shots that becomes french. how often is that the governments use the p and c, and how do you see the future of war? is that government versus governmental government versus rebel forces? or is it going to be pmc versus pmc? regina has been used relatively extensively in africa with great success. they've been very successful in operation that they've undertaken across africa and entities into the organization. i think there will be utilizing more and more the

country see the benefit of having a well trained, well armed entity in your country under the government control. i do think that that's going to it's going to spread out across africa. the more and more countries are going to use that to their advantage. and i think we will see companies like wagner just because begun stronger it happened was black water issue. it happened in iraq. it happened didn't have any stand. so it has happened wherever the theater is available, the companies will react and the companies will grow. so that's definitely what we see happening in africa at the moment the companies are growing exponentially. the demand for the companies is growing exponentially. and i just don't see there being an enter that i don't think anybody can stop that. the future of want is changing, and contractors are playing an ever increasing role. the united states has more than a rock and gun is done with such that for every american soldier,

it was at least one contractor. at the height of those was contractors made up between 50 to 70 percent of the u. s. for structure. by comparison, only 10 percent of the force was contracted in world war 2. contractors did most of the bleeding in iraq and afghanistan at the height of the was more contractors were killed than military personnel. mocking the 1st time in history that corporate casualties outweighed military losses on us battlefields, wounded or dead. contractors save clients money because they do not have to pay contract, hospital bills or veteran benefits. ultimately, contractors are disposable people. back mercenaries in the past. wagner is currently in several african countries, nist sudan, marlene mozambique bettina fossa and the central african republic. we spoke to people on the ground to gauge their opinions. a

isn't local bubble, blah, blah blah. but it will be a button that said it is always with on the line with what you don't did with with other good stuff. it really sucks up all the other sub with this that you didn't, you know, that's why the deal is because i do that. i'll set up a blob based on the yeah, i do. i do see that you know, songs that up, that the good news with one that

was it was sort of like the back it up. you got a bit of a better by them. but the monkey by the, by the went up with the defeat. so what i can do is look up the bye bye bye. i thought well, well the truck gets in logic didn't that issue? is that a, a

a, a, a, a, a, a. ready ready a, a. ready a. ready a, a, a, a

letter by noon goodness, a lot with it just wasn't up with you regarding a bet only what was the group? i'll actually show you the super bowl. a neal? is it not been up? i don't see. do you remember i'm that he can let so i live on back to this group. this is me. yeah. black white that. yeah, we'll see. i'm just sunday iptv signed it. be like this will assign. yeah, yes. this is why did you say specifically the song they couldn't have no, no proposal. dia tasha much you. that sounds a lot of me whisky end of year dollars. what is offering

a platform up on up or i. c, k, e dot com is that, don't ask you for doubled is a lot better with you find a list, a tsunami can escalate. we're still going to pull them as a

looks close now to a political analyst. and molly, who has extensively studied pm scenes, especially wagner. yes. it is my career field of what we give them. why do with countries including us to receive against the private timidity company finance because he's in a fight off in free on is if fights for it to retreat. because the, you know, if we talk about div bumped on, for example, in the sixty's,

wendy office, i'm african countries with having data in dependency in countries like my li, nick will not be grandma and so on. we're too close to russia months, few years ago after some cody thought a shift. there was a change and do with come 3. it went back again with france or re t, n r u s. day written day, m riddle. and they left big or why atmosphere, where there were some countries we'd be excluded to get union and some countries with us and european countries. that's why now the wisdom countries, including who a thing that african should continue to belong to them for their interest for death investment. and they should they gets advantage from the

african it resources. that's why they don't want washer troll it's private committee. did a company to involve in africa and also benefit from some african versus the only thing ease because it belong it belongs to wasa. why if it belonged to a western county like us lake australia like found la yag yuki or a european, a classical european country. they won't fit nothing that would set up if it's something normal because if it worrying in what they wants in what they wish, the ease is dead interests. but if it is vanetta, because these but the interest of wealth thus wide out hope was it induct. if not wary that a bit is the quantity of some a insecurity waiting on some count fees,

a par for some private military companies. sometimes it's long, but sometimes sometimes unknown. oh, they don't talk about it. i thought we'd some people living in descent that'll from my lead the region of murphy. for example, i said, what about diffusion of wagner? because we have a living in the town. like i said, what, what is bring on mr. yes. when vanelle came to support ed in 1000000 military, it's else a lot. i said, oh, it did do no doubt it's out. they said that it for the hard before people would use their guns, their weapons. and after that, they hide that weapon day emerged in the normal population. lake ha m hes bear lake ha. and normal farmers and him much the 1000000 sold just normal 1000000 soldier or didn't notice that they are japanese. artillery is or an

army group people involving in the normal population. but to with vanessa, they sit up, dead. it is days, sol, janice of veneer. have it kind of devise a kind of machine if they puts into point that of that would of someone dakin. no. doubt if the person has been using a weeping or a gun few days ago, even few weeks ago. and if this is the case, they think depends on and they blink it or they can depend on. that's why there is the look of change. when vanelle came indifferent much, well, that brings us to the end of this week. so we'll keep an eye on washington's efforts to classify wagner as a terrorist organization. but i leave you with the same question we offer at the beginning. what is the difference between wagner and other private military companies? why is wagner alone being singled out?

is the unsafe simply because it's russian. we'd want to hear your feedback. please be in touch and join us again next week when we explore the growing refugee crisis in africa and bring you a report from the world's biggest refugee camp until then from the and the teen. good bye. hm. ah, ah. at the end of the 18th century, great britain began to conquer and colonize australia. from the very beginning of

the british penetration to the continent, natives were subjected to severe violence and deliberate extra patient. according to modern historians, in the 1st 140 years, there were at least 270 massacres of local b. both any resistance to the british was answered with doubled cruelty. hundreds of natives were killed for the murder of one settler. indigenous australians were not considered complete people. no wild beast of the forest was ever hunted down with such unsparing perseverance as they are. men, women, and children are shot whenever they can be met with squatter. henry myrick wrote in a letter to his family in england, in 1846. australia's past is rightly described as blood soaked and races. if at the beginning of colonization, there were one and a half 1000000 indigenous people living on the continent, then by the beginning of the 20th century, their number had degrees del 100000 people. despite the indisputable historical

facts. the problem of bull recognition of the grimes of white australians against the aborigines has not been resolved so far. and in the 1950s, the u. s. used former nazis against the soviet union in the 21st century. they engineer dakota, the fish, the former soviet republic, into our confrontation with moscow will certainly if the united states and the u. k . and the rest of the western world had not engaged in conflict with the ukraine and with the soviet union and the successor of the russian federation. we would not have the horrible situation we have today. i think that if the american stopped, we would be at peace and the role would be a lot better place as the economy. the world function certainly better than is

doing now. with i have to say that russia is forced to suspend our involvement in the new start treaty, but the country will not abandon the pot. the last surviving agreement on nuclear disarmament between russia and the best route made the remarks during his annual address to the russian parliament on troops or no dial it over the motives of the crime or its perpetrators. but was russia's view about the new streaming pipeline fell, died up a special session of the un security. moscow is demanding and international in depend.
