1:05 pm
or a man definitely looks horrified and he looks very and distressed. his voice is trembling as, as one can listen to one somebody who knows him especially would notice what we also see is that his nose might be broken and he was so definitely better because he has the marks over his face. they have be in college, but you can still see them. so he is confessing on the video that he took pied like he plotted riots and bowers, which is punishable up to 15 years in prison. but then how were this confessions kind of taken out of him? was he? well, he was bitten, right. what was he portrait so? so these are questions that we've been asking ourselves and we are really scared. we are really worried about us health and his state, his condition and lawyer was not allowed to the semi to see him yet. we know that the european union, if demanding his immediate release,
1:06 pm
european union member states have also agreed on a sanctions for bella. risk, can you tell us more about the individuals who might be targeted by the sanctions? the conversations that well firstly, those perpetrators are responsible for human rights violations and violence would be added to the sanctions list. and these conversations were how, like in the past month, this is regarding the police brutality. now, there are talks about those who, when responsible for the plane being forced down those individuals for the targeted in the you also mentioned economic target. there's a government function, which means that those responsible for financing the regime luca, shank, of financing for finances and his oligarchs, his wallet might be added to this list. okay, so we're talking about a relatively broad spectrum of sanctions there. but our opposition leaders and activists in bella, ruth satisfied with these measures or firstly,
1:07 pm
what we have to remember is that this is not the bulk of the ation. this is not about targeting traffic control sources. and bella was, this is about targeting, look shanker who may, who makes decisions personally and kind of cutting all the fine lantus, cutting all these funds that are coming from, from his all dogs, basically to support the regime to support their oppression. so that's something that people expects ochs of is politicians, but also people in boulder. they want the unit to be stopped. and also we have to remember the goal of this sanction. this is to stop violence. this is to stop the regimes behavior. and this is the 4th location cut to and the representatives of the regime to agree to hold negotiations leading to new and free and fair elections . that's something that the you should not forget. television journalist, hannah luba cover speaking to us. thank you very much. now after last
1:08 pm
night's meeting in brussels, german chancellor, uncle michael dismissed bella versus explanations of the incident and have this message for the leadership in minsk. but we'll see if it's from a prep us. yeah, that must be released immediately. and all the explanations for the forced landing of the rain or flight, or implausible the same flies with partners, the fiesta pig. we are demanding their release to the peak. let's bring in our political correspondence. nina has a hi, nina, it's good to see you. what does cancel michael statement there, tell us about where germany stands on this incident? well, it was a very swift response, not just by germany, but also by the u as a whole. it happened very early on and the reactions were explicit. and so germany is still calling for the immediate release of the 2 and anglo macalester mentioned potentially freezing. mr. look, i think of bank accounts and you very early on. and now germany is calling for an
1:09 pm
edge and international investigation by the international civil aviation organization into just what happened and just like in other countries here and 72. on monday, the bell rosie and bassett was summoned because the german government officially protested against what they call the full diversion of the plane and what they call the kidnapping of the process. even on his partner straight after the events became young leader. some people did want to see even tougher measures. you mentioned that the ambassador was summoned, but we haven't seen any ambassadors recalled, for example. so do you think there was an appetite in germany for sending and even stronger message developers? well, by e year's standards, it was pretty strong if you compare it to what's happened in the past. in the past, similar situations we've heard, you officials condemn very seriously or strongly monetary situation, etc. so this was a very clear response from the u. 27. having said that, of course they also hear what, for example,
1:10 pm
the journalist said in this interview that you just did. and germany did make it very clear that they want you to speak with one voice, say, because the response can be much stronger if all 27 act together. but we're of course, also all aware of the strong link between deliveries and russia. so really we're talking about the relationship between the you and ross i here and between germany and russia, president putin supports the regime and below routes. and so ultimately comes down to the question, how much of a fallout is germany prepared to risk with russia at this point in time? there is no big appetite for that. here in germany, there is strong economic ties. gemini, is holding onto the controversial. no, it stream to gas pipeline and germans are going to the polls in september and so the greens are leading the poles current, dan could well end up forming the next government have announced that they would adopt a much firmer approach towards russia. but with the current government, i don't see a massive strategic change happening in terms of foreign policy in the months
1:11 pm
leading up to the election, unless the u. s. for example, applied presser and 70 to do so. our political correspondent, nina. so thank you so much. the us secretary of state antony blinking is intel of ease at the start of a mideast tor. the visit is designed to consolidate the ceasefire between israel and tomas militants in the gaza strip. blinking is holding talks with israeli leaders before traveling to meet with the leaders of the palestinian authority. jordan and egypt in a bid to open the flow of humanitarian aid into gather. the territory was devastated by israeli airstrikes launched in retribution for hamas rocket attacks on israeli cities at a press conference with israel's prime minister. benjamin netanyahu blinking appealed for humanity and empathy, especially in times of conflict. losses on both sides were profound. casualties are often reduced to numbers, but behind every number is an individual human being a daughter, a son, a father,
1:12 pm
a mother, a grandparent, of best friend. and as the town that teaches to lose a life is to lose the whole world. whether that life is palestinian or israeli. now at that same cut press conference, israel's prime minister benjamin netanyahu emphasize the need for international cooperation to ensure stability in the region. we need to work together to expand normalization between israel and arab and muslim world. and deep in the peace treaties that we already have. we discussed also how to improve the lives in the conditions of the palestinians, the managerial conditions in gaza, as well as building economic growth of for judy, a scenario, the west bank with international cooperation and participation. our correspondent, tonya kramer is following the story for us,
1:13 pm
and she joins us from jerusalem. hi tonya. what more can you tell us about what entity blinking and benjamin netanyahu have been saying? well, this is the prime minister, benjamin netanyahu, 1st of all sang to the american up ministration years president joe biden, for the support is fried to defend itself. that was very important to him as a 2nd point already been, you talked about the wrong nuclear deal. he said he hopes that the us would not go back to the old a nuclear deal that is currently a disgusted, international community. and what we just heard also, and the from prime minister netanyahu talked about peace, but many peace with the nations. the opera, honda accord, she was referring to but also he talked about the humanitarian situation in gaza and he condition that it needs to get better there. but he can do also the return
1:14 pm
of the missing soldiers and also the tooth radio to the house that are being held in garza. no. anthony blink and new secretary of state address more the humanitarian situation. you said it's a very difficult situation in gaza and that he would make a major announcement on a rehabilitation and b building gaza. but also the need to make sure that this doesn't benefit from us. and the only brush the issue of the nuclear, very, very briefly, we know that he wants to stabilize the cease fire that's in place. but tanya, looking ahead, is it realistic to expect any steps to words israeli palestinian peace talks? well that's actually the question here because at the moment the focus seems to be securing the ceasefire that was broken by each of between us and israel and to focus on rehabilitation or reconstruction of gaza. that is very of that it's
1:15 pm
needed of that needs to be also, you know, discussion about a mechanism to bring in for example, building materials. so we are there at the very, very beginning of this. although the us secretary of state, anthony lincoln addressed that. he said that, you know, the needs to be an address of the underlying causes for this conflict. but, you know, we didn't get a sense that anything is being done in this regard to, to find also a political solution to all of this year. at the very beginning it seems. and at the same time we understand also it's important for the american administration at least know, 2 restraints and tie for the palestinian authority and the occupied was thank. he's going to meet the policy president bus known the afternoon because these ties had been strained under the trump administration. our correspondent tiny kramer reporting from jerusalem. thank you. let's get a quick round up of some other headlines. more than 200 people have been injured in
1:16 pm
a trained collision and the malaysian capital fall alarm for one of the trains was empty and on a test run after repair work, the cause of the accident is still unknown, but a regular rail service house was in and italy's mount aetna has erected again stealing lava and hot rocks up into the night sky. the overnight eruption was the 4th of this month alone is the world's most active volcano. and activists and family members of george floyd have gathered in minnesota to mark one year census murder by a white police officer floyd's death highlighted police brutality and racism of the us. president biden is urge congress, a passive police reform bill, but lawmakers are still wrangling over the details to the west african country of mali. now where there was growing concerned that the military staging its 2nd qu, within a year, the army has detained the prime minister, president and defense minister. the leaders are part of an interim administration
1:17 pm
appointed to oversee a return to civilian rule. the un is calling for their immediate relief. european union has also condemned the arrest calling them a kidnapping plume. we call for return to the transitional government, which must be civil. what has happened is serious and grave. we are also ready to consider the necessary measures necessary. and for more on the story, we're joined now by analyst arthur who tell us he was part of the un team that helped a broker piece deal with armed groups in molly, in 2015. arthur, thank you for joining us. the you is calling this kidnapping of the civilian leadership. what more can you tell us about what's happened? yes, thank you. so yes, what happened is basically the president and the prime minister of the transition government have been arrested yesterday after a new government was announced again within the context of the transition,
1:18 pm
the prime minister of their transition. look, that one had resigned on 14th of maybe he was immediately reappointed. and over the past week, he had basically tried to work, had consulted with a wide group of people to try to put together a broad based cabinet to carry out basically the remainder of the transition period. an 18 months transition period that was due to and in february of next year . what happened is a couple, what appears to have happened is as part of the announcements, yes, it is. and you government a couple of the heavy weight from the defense and security forces that were part of the transition government so far were not re conducted, including the minister of security and minister of defense and not may have caused
1:19 pm
the 2nd. but arthur, you know, this transitional government, as you said, did include some military leaders that promised elections for next year. so why do you think we are seeing this happen now? well i think the, there was a sense that the june tar, so the military joint or that carried out the august school last year had a strong grip on the, on their current transition. government, you know, through the vice president who many c as the, as the de facto leader of the, of the 1000000 authorities transition authorities, and a number of ministers. there was pressure, i think, from the international community, but also part of the money in political class to may be demilitarize a bit. this government and probably, you know, the military held. they were losing a grip. in addition to this,
1:20 pm
i think there's a sense that the honeymoon period that followed the qu because after remember that the august 2020 qu followed 3 months of popular protest. so even though he was a military coup at the time, there were some nic fillings. i'm all right, you know the political class and molly, that this may have been a useful group. i think that meant it was last. now, social movements have resumed and people are quite unhappy with, with the joint, and we'll have to leave it there aren't there for tell us an analyst joining us. thank you so much for that. thank you. now to some big news from football, outgoing byron munich boss hands, the flick has signed on as the next coach of the german national team. so i will take over from your be live who was leaving the post after the summer's rescheduled euro 2020 tournament. he's been usually successful in a short stint of byron winning the champions league as well as 6 other trophies. but it leaves under a cloud after problems within the club hierarchy. and oliver moody from
1:21 pm
d. w. sports is with us here in studio. hi only. so this has been expected for a while, but why do you think that sounds like i've been chosen for this job for quite simply say me, he was the obvious candidate to take over farm yogi live. you have to consider the phenomenal success that he's had out by and in recent times to come in as pretty much i know this head coach in so that dressing room will be big reputations and names. and so when the treble in his the season and not even a full season or not is an unprecedented level of success. and then continuing that the seasons when the li again and i think what he's showing in that time more than anything is that he really knows how to bring players together. he really knows how to give them a sense of stability and unity and confidence. and these are things that are very important in international football where you're bringing players together from different teams and trying to make them gel. and when you think about the time as well as flick,
1:22 pm
supposedly having some personal problems with the bi and bosses at the same time as yogi love is looking to quit as the germany coach off of the european championship, it was just to get an opportunity for the german football association to pass up. okay. but does that success that he's had with buyer and actually translate to the international stage? what flick already does have some experience in international football and some success as well. it was a part of your he loved coaching sets up for a number of years, including the 2014 world cup, which was obviously the high point of german football in recent times with germany winning the welcome. so you can point to that and say, look, i know how to win trophies in international football. i've been there and done it. i think it was. i have to think about lives, relationships with some of the buy employers. there are 8 by and plays in the current germany squad, including the big names like manuel noise and thomas miller, unusual chemist, influential plays in the germany sets up and he has this great relationship with and already look international football is an unpredictable beast by football
1:23 pm
standards at but flick and germany real. have all of the ingredients to be successful in the coming years before the flight takes over. we do still have the european championships the summer, so can you go out on a high high putting me on the spot? look at the big question for all germany funds out there this summer, there's no doubt that standards have dropped since the 2014 heyday, the 2018 woke up with a shambles. the reputation of the germany team has a plumber says you loves a reputation to i think it's fair to say that's one of the reasons that he's throwing in the towel off the european championship. but look, this is still a team with a lot of talent. the buying guys that i mentioned already, plus the likes of i have a team of van or i do new one who will all be playing in the champions league final . it's clear that there's still a lot of talent in this germany say, i wouldn't make the favorites, but i wouldn't rule out a glorious live once on either. all right, well everybody from d, w for thank you so much. the united states has warned its citizens against
1:24 pm

1:25 pm
when i think the staff is still getting used to it a bit, but they still got things done pretty quickly. i made my reservation at 8 am and by $826.00, it was all over including the waiting time japan's vaccination drive got off to a slow start. vaccinations only began in mid february months. behind many other countries, far less than 5 percent of the population have had a job with the olympic games being held here in tokyo, in just 2 months time. the new vaccination centers i meant to speed up the vaccine rollout that many feel it's too little too late. when one thing was done it early and got 8090 percent of people vaccinated by the time of the olympics . and then for sure the games could be held without a problem. they had to be bought most here worried about the games post show that up to 80 percent of japanese. people don't want the olympics to go ahead and
1:26 pm
with good reason. tokyo and 9 other areas remain under a state of emergency. infection rates are on the rise and in cities like osaka, hospitals are running out of beds and ventilators, as japan battles the 4th wave of the pandemic. let's get a reminder now of our top stories here and d, w. european union says it is feeling off all of its airspace developers hands fight traffic. it is one of several new sanctions targeting bellows that were agreed upon at a summit of the leaders in brussels. the sanctions are in response to the grounding of a passenger jet and arrest of an opposition journalist. us secretary of state antony lincoln has arrived and tell us it is the 1st stop of the middle east tour aimed at both during the truth between israel and her mom. he also wants to find a way to coordinate reconstruction in gaza without engaging with the militant
