ah ah ah was who's this is the deputy news live from the former minneapolis police officer during job and sentence the 22 and a half years to the murder of georgia floyd. i have a family, we wake up every day and we don't see my brother in fries all around the house. he would have been in georgia. they have for life sentence as i now ice life without. it's one of the longest delta and hands down to a former officer for using unable for lately force live to our correspondence in minneapolis. so coming up 3 did,

and others injured in the german city of votes. but following a knife, attack passes by confront the attacker and may have prevented further bloodshed. and in florida loved one hope for miracles. as the chances of rescuing survivors from a collapsed building near miami fight local officials concerned for death, nearly 169 with awe. i'm anthony. how welcome to the program in the us there of and has been sentenced to 22 and a half years in prison for the murder of george floyd in april. last year, floyd died when the former police officer kneeled on his neck for almost 9 minutes . delivering the sentence in minneapolis, the judge said he based his decision on shipping a piece of his possess,

and the cruelty he showed to his victim. president joe biden has described the length of the sentence as appropriate, floyd families lawyer hailed the same thing as a turning point for racial justice in the us. they are born and some of fluids. family members spoke at the hearing, is the reaction from one of his brothers. after the sentence was written, i felt that i big for justice for my brother, some type of accountability. the treatment that i thought that everybody should receive is just life. you know, you can get that back. we all live together in this world and we all want to be able to work together in this world. you have good police offices and you have bad was the fact that you shouldn't have to sort them out. oh, well they w correspondence difference him and he's outside the court in minneapolis, stephan, we just heard floyd's brother speaking there. what were the reactions to this

sentence inside the courtroom? well, inside the courtroom, there was actually no reaction but outside the courtroom. there were plenty of reactions and normally from people of color here they all said that they actually cannot be satisfied with this judgment or the sentencing. if you will. 22 and a half year. sounds a lot to people here. but then again, if you think about it, due to minnesota loss and codes, derek. so we will maybe, if the sent his face as it is and not other things were picked on in the federal case which is still awaiting. he will maybe serve to 1st of this, of those $22.00 and a half years, or 15 years around. and it's 15 years enough for taking a life the way we and the world had with a witness. 13 months to the day, exactly. kneeling on derek, shot out on george floyd smack killing him. 9 minutes and 25 seconds. people here

thought no, they can't be satisfied to acknowledge the legal success, the legal, historic victory of the defense team and the floyd family. because it has never been, never been the case in history of the states that a officer was a police officer were sent to that high of a sentence, the case sparked global outrage. how of people as the hours passed now reacting beyond the court room beyond that local area, i would say that everybody who watched this trial and accompanied these trials so to speak in detail, takes it for what it is. it is a success. it is a turning point, as was mentioned in for the united states. but however, i think people in the united states, people of color in the united states could be but also plenty of white people. they, i think think that days are chapter close,

not the book because of course this is far from over, not just showing over, but the cost for black people for black lives matter for people of color here. the cause for the flight, for soul, for racial justice and equality is far from over in the united states. so if something like this happens again, you will see, i promise, and everybody knows this. they will be more per moral. and in any city where the temperance and suddenly the least i just found, but you touched what does this sentence main how's that being ported in terms of that campaign for racial justice in the us george floyd legal team framed that i thought very good. this is a success, a single success. the chapter is close to an turning point for the united states. but however, this can only be a stepping, a stepping stone or

a step forward in their battle flights and costs to seek racial justice in the justice is to seek reading for police reform and they are looking to washington d. c. for that days, the george for legislation, we just abated in the, in the senate, which is still find queued in the senate bypass this. and they want this to pass number one, number 2, they so many cases since george floyd, and before george flint who haven't seen in their mind the justice george floyd has seen here with the sentencing of their shelving. so there's a long, long, long ways to go for the cost of racial equality, racial justice, and police reform. stephanie months in minneapolis. thank you. well, here in germany, 3 people have been killed and at least 5 others seriously injured in a knife attack in the state of the varia. the attack took place in barbarossa plots

. a plaza in the center of the city of votes, book pedestrians tried to hold back the attacker and may have prevented more bloodshed. the knife man struck in the historic center reverts work which was crowded with shoppers on a sunny afternoon. orthor to say the attacker was a 24 year old somali man with a history of mental illness. witnesses said he started stabbing people for no apparent reason, but was confronted by passes by somebody has to be there. we saw him. he had a really big knife and was attacking people's and then people tried to throw chisel umbrellas or cell phones at him to stop him. but none of that was. yeah, but it's had on this mission club. as you pull it's high as then the police approached him and his shot was fired. you could hear that clearly. in any case, they caught him like a police shot the man in the leg before arresting him in

a kind of either. then there's no indication that any other perpetrator is involved . we have arrested one suspect, who is now being held in custody and give us, suffered a firearm wound. so that's what going on. there appears to have been no terrorist motive for this stabbings official say the attack was known to have violent tendencies and was undergoing compulsory. psychiatric treatment. police at the scene were quick to reassure the public that there was no further danger. various premier says the state is grieving for the victims and their families. and now here's a look at some of the other stories making headlines around the world. 12 german troops and another un soldier had been wounded in a car bomb attack in mali. it happened north of the base camp custom, which is north of the city of go. it's the worst attack on the bonus. val,

since germany became involved in the peacekeeping mission day in 2013 thousands of supporters of south africa, the left wing economic freedom fighters, party had protested against the slow vaccine rolled out. less than 4 percent of south africans had been vaccinated to combat the 3rd wave of the virus, the opposition party is cooling or the approval of rushes, splitting the v as in china's sinner. around supreme leader itala kamani has received his 1st does of the state developed vaccine bought a cat. it's the 1st to be approved in the islamic republic with several more in development around us. one of the regions was hit by the pandemic. khamenei has banned imports of american and british vaccines. rescued workers in the us state of florida are searching for survivors in the rubble of a partially collapsed 12 story apartment building. part of it came down in the early i was thursday morning. local officials have confirmed, at least for depth,

nearly 160 people are still missing. heavy machinery, rescue dogs and special listening tools have been deployed. as rescuers search for signs of life. it's day to for rescue operations in florida. the sun comes up and the severe damage is visible. once again, only debris is left of roughly 55 apartment units in surfside. close to miami teams are working and 12 hour shift. search and rescue hasn't stopped since they 1st arrived at the scene. in the parking garage, firefighters tried to stabilize the foundation and tunnel into the rebel of what used to be a beach front high rise. we are going to work as hard as we can to continue our search and rescue effort. that is our priority. that is where we're focused and protecting our 1st responders who are on this team. but it's not just the rescue teams that are at the scene. nonstop. residents and neighbors were there throughout

the night to support each other, waiting to hear from loved ones. i tried to contact them, but nobody, nobody answers. i tried to contact them also on what's up. nobody seems to get any answers, so hopefully they are okay in the area where the collapse building is located. many residents have an international background and relatives abroad where we're working with constituents to help get visas process quickly. so we can get their family members over here to be able to make sure that they can be standing by to get the critical news. they're all waiting for florida declared a state of emergency to release additional funds and personnel. federal assistance is on the way as well. all we can do is try to help people that are in that situation and obviously get us answers as well for the future. so something like this never happens again. because it's not just the search for survivors that keeps

this community on tenterhooks. they want answers about how this could happen. a leaders have wrapped up a 2 day in person summit in brussels. the meeting was full of disagreement over how to advance communication between the block and russia and what to do about a new law in hungry that restricts discussion of g b, g, q, issues. it was a difficult night for new leaders as they rallied behind one of their own and against one of their own, with hungary, new law targeting the l g v g q, community provoking a backlash. so intense, some leaders called be experienced unprecedented. and we had, we sincere sometimes even emotional, it's change of use each to of arguments on those topics, but just the opportunity for many leaders to we affirm various turns commitments. he says, of those fundamental values and gary and prime minister victor or bond with nearly isolated in his insistence that banning the portrayal of homosexuality to young

welcome for us commerce department reported that a closely watched indicator for inflation is up almost 4 percent over the past 12 months. the largest and you will increase in nearly 3 decades. and prices are jumping nearly across the board from food to gasoline to real estate analysts attribute the ballooning price tags to a variety of factors including supply chain issues as manufacturers fail to keep pace with biking demand. as the economy reopens. our financial correspondent, e n. car to join us. now there you are. yes. and the higher lation numbers have been consistently downplayed as something temporary, but surely, especially low income households are affected by these rising prices. yes, sure. i mean, the more money you make, the less you care if a gasoline prices, for example, are up at the gas station here in my back

a year ago. prices were about $1.00 lower. not per liter for a gallon, but yeah, sure. i mean, also food prices, if they increase for low income people that the much bigger problem than for people who make more money. so the federal reserve, in general, still likes to down play the inflation risk saying it's a temporary effect or, but it is interesting to see an end of last year. the federal reserve said, well, we see the inflation at about 1.8 percent for 2021. now the federal reserve is saying, well, for this year we might see a price increase by about $3.00 and a half percent, but then there are certain, again, that next year we will be down to about a good to 2 percent. so the future will tell if the federal reserve is the right that it's just a temporary, but history has told us that the federal reserve has not always very a time when it comes to expectations about inflation. i guess we'll have to see.

but while demand has been rising generally, and there are assigned consumer spending appears to be loving a lot, leveling off a bit what's happening in the past month. so we got those figures here on a friday spending was basically a flat lower than expected. and on the other side income. so for american families in the past month, we're down a bit. what happens here is that that was to be expected that all the stimulate a similar checks that we see in earlier this year. i mean, they're mostly spend or, and that is a positive where used to pay down a credit card to that so that at least would be positive. but overall we did see some very healthy spending in the past couple of months. even if that is slowing down a little bit, what is very interesting in those latest figures said what americans spend money for. so it used to be in the past couple of months,

mainly for goods and that changing now with this beautiful summer weather that we've gotten with all the vaccines out. so people spend much more on services on travel, on a dining out. so we do see a shift where americans spend, but at least for now it does seem that consumers do have some extra bucks to keep the economy going. american rediscovering the finer thing can carter there for us? thank you very much. germany's economy minister peter outlier, says the us and you could settle the dispute over, steal, and aluminum. by the end of the year, the trump administration by paris on imports of the metals from europe in 2018, citing national security in response that you impose import charges on a range of american products, including harley davidson motorcycles and whiskey. last month, brussels suspended upon doubling of those terrorists for half a year, and what's been seen as a good well gesture. earlier i spoke to simone,

a man of the president of the american chamber of commerce in germany. i asked her whether she shared minister outliers optimism that the terrorist dispute would end this year. well, at least we see that they are positive signals from both sides. there are lots of visits planned as news to help my a said. also, chancellor, myrtle will go to the us and i think there is the very strong will on both sides to find solutions. of course, it is always better for free trade and to prosperity to avoid terrorists and to it was really bad to be in this staggering system. and so i think the proactive signal of brussels to suspend further increases of terrorists on our side. it gives a good signal, but it will not be easy because you have to find

a compromise and win win for both sides. now briefly, my spend shared concerns over china's growing assertiveness and human rights record were also discussed during the minister out myers washington trip. how are you as the american chamber of commerce, positioning yourself, when it comes to china? 12, china is an important partner for trade, as for all industries and also for the u. s. and the width is not acting like in the cold war, and sometimes it's mentioned, but what is important and what the american chamber of commerce and all members subscribe is there should be a level playing field, same conditions for everybody everywhere. and there is no way that there is any act against human rights. so we will closely watch that. and we fully support when they are strict rules to not make trade with companies. all countries who do not believe in the human rights,

the modem and the president of the american chamber of commerce and germany, there for us. thank you. and let's take a look at some other business stories making headlines. billionaire richard brandt, spaceship company, virgin galactic has received approval from the u. s. a. v ation safety regulator to fly passengers. the space turning up the pressure on rivals in the space tourism sector runs in space. venture faces fierce competition from amazon founder jeff basis is blue origin. and tesla boss even must face x e u member states in the european parliament a great friday on a major reform of the blocks bast farming subsidies. the common agriculture policy includes payments for 387000000000 euros over 7 years. a 3rd of the ease totally total multi year budget for $270000000000.00 euros earmarked as direct aid to europe's farmers. the startup sector says black business owners in the u. k,

a black county came from rapper and activists swiss. he wants to strengthen the black communities, economic power. i just said, you know, could you imagine, you know, if we have a black pound a day where we, you know, it's spent, we've got businesses and tried to build up our me any place where people are considered a minority and economically disadvantage, that they can what they jocelyn may know is how hard it is for a black business woman. she started out 10 years ago with hair care products designed for the needs of black people. didn't have the network to, to raise the friends or family around, you know, we didn't have parents give us money. we didn't have a rich uncle on teeth. her customers were the ones who helped her start up, become successful. black pound de could give her and others another welcome boost. this week, 184 out of 186 votes on a un general assembly resolution condemned the decades old us trade embargo against

government, herculean effort, we are. all of this is adding to the damage caused by the rushing up of the blockade either into this and all of this, i must remind you is against the backdrop of global economics crisis. one omega global. but the us is sticking to its position. the sanctions are one set of tools in our broader effort toward cuba to advance democracy, promote respect for human rights. the us economic trade and financial sanctions against cuba have been in place since 962. according to the cuban government, they have cost a total of almost $150000000000.00 and damage. they are also having a growing impact on health care. cuba has developed to covet 19 vaccines on its own, but according to the countries pharmaceutical association, the latest clinical studies are at stake because of the embargo. what else in i

knew of our role here? we have been running out and supplies hoping, running low. but even this issue is unlikely to sway us position that's fit for me and the dw business team. thank you so much for watching and have a great weekend. ah, the show that the issue is shaping the continents. the news africa, the government. what's making the headlights and what's behind the streets to give you in the reports and insight all the trends that my time to use and connect on dw

radio drama theories continues are available online. course you can share and discuss on the w africa, facebook page, and other social media platforms, crime fighters, tune in. now. this is d w. news africa coming up on the program. short of vaccines, short of oxygen, short of breath. the desperate efforts to save lives as a 3rd vicious covert 19 wave hits the continent, canyons intensive care units are among the flash points. also coming up is, are one french soldier leaving the the hell, but with a ton of baggage will examine what the end of operation ball can mean for security in molly and the rest of the region. plus

an unusual movement of fish, sparks, a frenzy among anglers in south africa. we witnessed the action and find out why they are pulling out all the stops to net a big catch. the news. hello, i'm told me are logical. glad you could join us. africa is facing what's been called a brutal resurgence of the corona virus endemic the world health organization says the new wave threatened to be the worst yet. at least 14 countries are facing an exponential growth in infections. and unlike the during the last surge health care systems in several regions are struggling to cope. making matters worse is the emergence of more infectious new coven, 1900 variance, and a shortage of vaccines. less than one percent of people have been inoculated so far . africa, the top public health official, john kanga song, says it's

a disaster in the making. we are running behind time. yeah. because there is ahead of us. let me put it bluntly, we are not really in africa. we are not in africa, these battery against virus. it really doesn't matter to me at this point, but other vaccines from go bags or from an engine that we need is wrapped in access to about seems to be invested in a moment. we'll hear from another top african health official who says it's unconscionable that rich accomplish countries already vaccinating a dollar since when some of the most vulnerable people in africa potentially facing death. first though, did up losing my married mother reports from one hospital in kenya, trying to cope with the onslaught of the 3rd wave. screams for more oxygen, the intensive care unit, and consumer hospital. one of the biggest in kenya. yes. nurse nicholas piano has

seen a 3rd of his covert patients die. you might think of if you might think the patient is improving, they might talk to you in one second and then they're just collapse and die. the i see you is for a piano and his colleagues overwhelmed, they just lost another patient. we keep hearing patients calling from oxygen in this intensive cag. and that's about 15 people who are struggling for their lives. and we just had to witness how the 40 has removed out of a room full of patients. and as it can see the same as quickly been filled again. the hospital director is worried. they need 5 times more oxygen. and far more high flow oxygen machine than they have. and we in africa need those high flow devices. they're very expensive for them. we lose lives that could be saved because these devices are not available. health officials believe the number of corona virus

cases is much higher than recorded, especially in villages, where people can't afford the transferred to a hospital. you know, come on, come on and move to. well, jennifer, we g bird. her youngest sister, 2 days ago, it went very fast, says a bad headache, fever, shortness of breath would be when it all started on a sunday. when you learned church, she felt unwell by the time saturday came. it was too much for her to bear. she was taken towards the door and the same day she died. death has come to this village. residents say there's been 50 barrels here in recent weeks. the only oxygen plant in the region has reached breaking point and won't be able to meet an increasing demand. i'm getting so many calls from the person who need to do or need to be done home. people of the regular does,

don't them? it was possible. then the next few minutes. that's going to be going back at the su more hospital. there's some good news, a patient who's been dependent on oxygen for weeks will be released soon. somebody should not cut out and that is not the thing is really when you enter a life, just to remove whatever they're giving you where you are in demand, then you're really luck was on this side in the health system. so overstretched. luck is what these patients will need. let's speak now to professor lim abdul karim is an epidemiologist. you recently had the south africa government task force on covert 19, and he joins us now from durban. professors, could you good to have you on the program? what's your greatest concern right now relating to africa and covert 900. i know

it's a vast continent, but, but what, what are you greatest worries right now? well, when we look at the current situation, the number of cases in africa going up quite rapidly. these little question that africa is currently grouped in the 3rd wave. the number of cases have been rising about 20 to 25 percent weak on weak. right now we have somebody like about 40 in countries in africa where they are now in rapidly upward trajectories of the waves. how they actually itself has a rapidly rising number of cases, parts of the country, and really experiencing quite a lot of pressure on the health care services. and all of this is occurring against the backdrop off, you know, health care services that are somewhat fragile. and in the midst of the overall low

vaccination rates because of lack of access to vaccine doses. now we've seen the rise in cases of are all as you mention, but co 19 has not been as lethal in africa as elsewhere. do we know why that is? africa in dealing with the 1st wave tended to have a wave that really wasn't that. many people thought it might be there, all kinds of doomsday predictions of millions of people in africa dying. but we really didn't see any of that, and now we have a better understanding that due to many factors that we don't necessarily understand all of them. but among them is the general usefulness of africa. that gives it some level of protection because the, the disease is most severe in the elderly. and africa has

a small number of elderly individuals that we do not see the same kinds of pressures in the hospitals in many countries. however, that's balanced in that. there are parts of africa that have come and have high prevalence of co morbidities like diabetes and hyper tension. and so that practice in as well. we don't fully understand why the cases and the deaths haven't been as high. some of its relates to under reporting. but even in the presence of under reporting, we haven't really seen overwhelmed hospitals in many countries in africa. so i think the youth dividend is what we'll scribe it to for now until we understand it better. right. and we've talked about the shortage of vaccines, the low deployment. what risk would africa oppose to the rest of the world of africans and not vaccinated soon, and their risk of africa being cut off from the world?

at the end of a fundamental level, there is a misconception and misunderstanding about covert 19 colon maintain is a pandemic. it is a disease that knows no boundaries. if one just take any one of the variance within a matter of 3 months, they've already spread to $100.00 countries. so there is no scenario in this world where i can see can go on the basis that it will vaccinate it's population. and that all will be well, while the virus spreading rampantly in the rest of the world that that is not a winning scenario. we have to cheat cove at 19 as a panoramic and we've got to suppress the virus. and the tons mission of the, via this globally, if we are to make an impact. and so we really need to deal with it in that way. and

that means equitable distribution of vaccines. it, it is not a solution where one country hordes vaccines and vaccinate its own population. indeed, it is unconscionable to me that some countries are really vaccinating adolescence why, you know, most country in africa haven't even yet completed vaccinating the higher risk health care workers or the professor asylum abdul karim, one of south africa leading epidemiologists, speaking to us from durban, still to come on dw news, africa, few people know exactly why millions of dean start moving along south africa coastline and about this time every year. but the fisherman then know that they won a piece of the action. and the french military is accused of failing to reveal the

true number of civilians killed and its mission investor held to nigeria and now and a slum community. in lagos, it's residents mostly make a living from fishing. but the younger generation could change that. many of the children are in a quest to be educated and hopefully transformed their families. fortune's w. fred, move one year, reports from the school trying to keep their dreams afloat. horn was may feel the market. is one of the most densely populated in there goes it's makes you, how's you do it on feel unfounded by floating around in a m kids that i for school one by one they took from the bought some have they've told me with and still my those who are enough?

get breakfast here. michael was fishing community is one of the quietest in the country. but the fond of the plans on a school is trying to make change happen through education. in order to do it will believe in fishing what an educational i don't want in this dinner shall fall into the same category as i was when he started the school in 2009, many parents were not interested in sending their children. fishing is the source of livelihood here in michael, most of the people here in this community have no formal education background. so convincing parents to send their kids the school was out of whack. for no, i say made the with the arrival, they called me the 1900 pandemic know at school, like many others had to cause. most children where st teaching made their parents

to make ends meet like in the old days. know are hard to find ways to attract kids, but to pull up on it, i've been to that as a school doing the name. it's on the we are smart. serious. we are incident new school use into teachers. well, no, we do a lot of it because what it is assumed, right? but we do. we've got, we got to guide them to this group who called me good morning. this is she now has more than 200 students. children who have bigger rooms than their parents, a lead teacher would need to get this thing going on english by the name the to my father was me. i'm not going to become if he

wants to do only lawyer. still, noah seem pretty hot. these children will keep coming because i saw that dreams like he's not completely out of reach. certainly hope those dreams come true. france recently announced that it's ending its military operation against islam as a militant in west africa to hell region. paris launch operation balkan 7 years ago to try to upper roots to had us from several countries, including molly, but can also nisha and chad. now france says it's not abandoning the region and will retain troops on the ground as part of a wider international force. but critics say the mission was struggling to achieve its goals on their way out. these french soldiers have finished best in to molly. and soon the operation they've been part of will come to an end to over

$5000.00 french troops stationed across the whole region for operation bar can launched in 2014, its goal was to push back islamist militants, gaining ground, and influence. but the mission hasn't made the progress that was hopeful. in molly, she had still control slaves, the country and the situation remains volatile across the region. for some that's cause to call for france to stay is a demand to know how to best i ask everyone with a little bit strange to let these foreign forces cooperate with molly and forces to cooperate with our armed forces in order to be able to complete this task, which has been patiently awaiting us, but many welcome to change it up by the one you know, one, what about your front is to our advantage. because the french seem that we have not

seen any improvement. we only suffer from day to day. others say the french mission was always a tall order. it covers more than 5000000 square kilometers across west africa, expert se securing such a huge area is almost impossible. adding to the difficulties. there are also accusations that french troops have killed more civilians than they've admitted. for now, though, the french aren't completely going away. the plan is they'll be part of a new mission that relies more on regional and international partners. as you heard that frances operation in this a hell has experienced a number of challenges, a group of investigative journalists, alleging that parents is also failing to be transparent about the number of civilian casualties. a recent investigation on the website, the new humanitarian says, there are many incidences where the french troops have claimed to be targeting to harris,

but in fact have ended up killing innocent civilians that speak to patricia law. a journalist who worked on that investigation patricia joins me now from johannesburg. south africa, france is accused of killing innocent civilians and it's the how operations patricia, what did you find out in your investigation? so we've been working on that investigation for almost a year or so. we spent several months in many, we interviewed a lot of witness to survivors. we looked at documents and basically what we were looking at is, what is the tv and torque of friends and tga, the war in may. so that was that event, in boone gene center monday in january, where there was a trench strike and 22 people were killed. and one of the french were thing that they were all terrorist. but then other people like witnesses and also

a report from the united nation and investigation from them was saying that actually among 222 people were killed, 19 were civilians. so we, our sub spoke to people from when t a people in cocoa. so they are headers, catherine breeders, one of the men was he's another one in the seventy's. and like they, they story like even the details were really matching. so what they're saying is that it was the wedding that they and soon 192 begins had been killed. but then the french are saying, no, they were or terrorist and they refuse to. they said we had the prove or it's like the images from the throw and that's what i'm doing. observation that they, they refuse to share those images. so it's like, well they take

a word for it. ok. patricia on that note, you know, the, in just the hell johanna are often said to be sometimes embedded in local communities. so when you have the french saying what they're saying, and you have your, the people you spoke to giving an alternative view to it. how is it even possible to independently verify whose account of the casualties is accurate? well, it takes to really complicated to like, since 2013, the french army has recognized that they killed 7 q b. and by mistake, we actually like in that investigation, we came to the conclusion that number a probably of a key, 50000000 to have been killed. and that's my young, the tip of the iceberg. so let me give you an example. we had sex that document a comprehension document that was leak. and so there was an internal document from

bobcat and in the document. it was stated that he was killed in may 2020. so the guy wasn't the man wasn't not basically 2 other people. he came close to frame shorter, they went the terrorist, they showed him, the men and women clearly say, then they realized it was a civilian. so a compensation was paid to the, to the family of the big team. and that that event was never made public to the french on the publishing press release on the regular basis. but they will talk about the good news, the successful operation and sometimes say for example, like the also very vague terrorist have been neutralized. that's the word that if you read rather than just learning about overall,

patricia the french making the exit. we're hearing the news that the operation back on coming to an end. what impact will be exit have on the security situation in this a hell are they abandoning this region to its fate? for no president, my call has said that he once to put an end to kind of peroration in its actual form. but of course, it's not going to happen in one day. france is not going to throw the 5000 soldiers to having this ahead from one day to another. but yet, probably some of the troops will we leave. and what french would like in other european countries being more involved? but many of them i stream the reluctant to send troops in the conflict most. you know, that it seems more and more obvious that it's not going to be sold by, by a military intervention. ok, patricia was a journalist based in johannesburg,
