i jewish in years, the 2 part documentary starts july 5th on dw, the, in the news . this is the w news life from berlin tonight, south africa, highest course with an order for former president, jacob zoom. i go to jail a sentence to 15 months guilty of contempt for repeatedly refusing to answer corruption charges. also coming up tonight, ethiopians government declares a seems fire after months of fighting in the great but rebels had seized the

biggest city valley to drive there in the reason out of the region and europe's tourism sector. taking another hit from cobit 19 travelers, cutting short trips to portugal as the delta barrier tightened its grip and the thrill of victory for england fans the 3 lions take revenge on old rivals german, the europeans football championship. ah! i break gone down reviewers on p. b s in the united states and to all of you around the world, welcome. he was once put in prison for fighting against apartheid. now former south african president, jacob zoom is about to go to prison yet again. today the country's highest court found zoom to be in contempt and sentence him the 15 months behind bars. zooming has repeatedly defined court orders refusing to testify before the investigative

panel. zoom and el faces numerous further charges from his time is president, including corruption and money laundering. if convicted, you could face even more prison time. more now let's go to our correspondent christine when, once she joins me now from cape town in south africa, getting need to you. christy. to me, the big question here do south africans believe that jacob zoom is going to turn himself into police asked the court ordered brand, there's very little doubt. the constitutional court has given the full president 5 days to present himself at a police station. failing to do that, they have instructed the minister of these is one of the police commissioner to then find him and make sure that they put him behind bars within 3 days of that we heard from his daughters between earlier and she seemed to indicate that the president had accepted the constitutional court ruling saying that he had chosen

also being given the option to spend his jail sentence in his home province of luna . charles, yes, they have continued. they've continued to speak the fighting, feel free to say, talking about the fact that he said good bye bye o indication there have not said anything other than the fact that he might be presenting himself. so it's going to be an interesting few days. it's not exactly when you present yourself, but he does have 5 days to do so brand and jacob zoom says that he is the target of a political, which i'm wondering how much support does he still have in south africa? well anytime profits in once in a while, which is one of the bigger branches, particularly in the ruling a and see he sent enjoy considerable support. but as we've seen over the years since he was removed from office by the ac, by the way, he was report as a president by policy, we certainly see it and he stretches that people affiliated with him. he's losing

ground in those structure because it's difficult to tell because there is not necessarily election when he is on the ballad to see how far that support goes beyond instruction. but the point of this paper has been waning of the big is there are people like i said in your home problem, nothing who have been infected with overnight, people outside of the homestead saying that they were going to be there and take them and guardian from anybody who tried to do on the b c with the ruling party at the board has been significant waiting for this from a residence and around the world. jacob zoom is, is seen as an example of good government that has gone bad. would you agree with that? assessment well, if you listen to the if we had the, the current president are characterized, zoom is 9. yes. office at 9 wasted. yes. something that was generated

a lot of control the seeds in this country, but a lot of people really feel the same way. the truth is, corruption was ramp, it's and continues to be. and what we've heard in the commission of inquiry that room to refuse to, to, to, to appear before was that just how widespread the corruption had become and, and a lot of witnesses testified. but at that commission pointed the thing that the president choosing him appointing people, it's a cabinet who will then go on to award new present government contracts to his friends and family members. and so people have been hearing over the months that this is what this president did. he was asked to come in on smith indications. and of course he's not to the commission. and people feel that that was really as not been a slap in the say, add to the, to the rule of law. and so a lot of that he had lost for him to be in the eyes of many people, including some of his supporters. so there is the sense that the ream of more is now has now prevailed with going to jail. yeah. and that makes it quite an

important day for democracy and the rule of all in south africa, the w christine with the latest tonight from cape town. as always, christine, thank you. we're jacobs. you know, it's not the only former president sentence to a prison term. many countries have prosecuted their former leaders, d w report is old oh royce, here at the big table with me now he's been looking in to this. yeah, it's quite a, it's quite a long list. give me some names and some other disgraced leaders. far more than most people. my realize around the world is at least 50 for the president. so political leaders are in some kind of detention and several more who are on their way or maybe on their way to join them. we can have a look now at some recent cases, one of the main ones is former french president nicholas kazi, who was recently given a 3 year cost odeo sentence for attempting to brother magistrate. now he is appealing no charges, but he also faith separate cases, which also carry potential jail term time. now it's not actually expected that he would set foot in a public prison but would rather serve it in some kind of home detention. or then

we can go to the case of bolivia where the former president janine and yours is currently under pre trial the tension on multiple charges of basically trying to form and a qu well after a year in power, her political rivals came back and now she's being prosecuted, the european parliament says that she is a political prisoner. and then there is the recently asked the israeli prime minister ban benjamin netanyahu. now he is currently on trial a corruption charges which he denies, but he found guilty. he could also say some kind of custodial sentence, we could also mentioned in this list, south korea, which is jailed several of its former presidents. and of course brazil where the fall, the president lulu, at a silver. so 18 months in detention before being cleared. and his successor, michel tanner, who's been in and out of jail while the waiting several charges wondering if these presidential prosecutions. how easy is it for them to become political to? well, i spoke to political expert from the university of washington who track exactly these kind of cases. and they say that if countries have very clearly independent

and respected judiciary than these kind of cases can greatly strength and trust in democracy. however, if the judiciary is seen is some kind of a political weapon, then these cases can set off a cycle of retribution in which it becomes expected. the former leaders will be prosecuted just to score points in the case of south africa international observance. say that the judiciary is very independent, highly respected, and in this case, since a strong positive signal, it is former south african president, jacob's humor, there's another former president facing legal problems as well. or the biggest one of all the cars. donald trump, these races multiple charges, criminal and civil. now the grand jury is actually currently considering whether to indict trump or his organization for his business dealings. he also faces several civil defamation cases. of course, in the case of trump, whatever happens to him legally will be seen by his supporters as being politically motivated. dr. political, which one, as we've heard many times

w reportage. oh don't. and joe. thank you. or let's take a look now at some of the other stories that are making headlines around the world . germany has pulled its last remaining troops out of that began to stand the withdrawal in a native mission that began after the september 11th terror attacks. almost 20 years ago, germany had stationed some 1100 troops in afghanistan, the 2nd largest contingent after the united states. moscow police have rated the homes of several investigative journalists and their families authorities, question journalist from product, which is one of the last independent media outlets in russia. the organization was preparing to publish corruption allegations against the interior minister, foreign ministers from the g 20 major economies are meeting face to face in italy for the 1st time in 2 years. the gathering is aiming for closer cooperation on issues including vaccines and climate change. a painting by pablo picasso,

that was stolen from a greek gallery 9 years ago has been found in athens. the woman's head, along with another painting by the dutch artist pete mon, 3 on, were recovered from a gorge outside the city. a greek man has been arrested in relation to the fess if he opened his government has declared a ceasefire after 8 months of fighting and it's t gray region. the rebel forces have recaptured the regional capital and seized some of the surrounding territory. they say they'll drive their enemies out, the piers, the conflict is by no means over. the pain is everywhere. the thousands of lives lost. many others left fighting for them as 2000000 displaced from their homes and living in whatever they can find

and hundreds of thousands now face via famine, with 1000000 more in need of food age. these are the scars from 8 months of fighting between e. c. p. and government soldiers and rebel forces in the t gray region. on monday, the government appointed administration in t cray called for a cease fire before reportedly fleeing his father. in the name of the 2 great and old loving people, we ask the federal government for sci fi on humanitarian grounds. in such a way that prevents further damage to that, it is possible for people to find a rental buyer and become part of the solution. so you got the e, c, p, and government led by prime minister b ahmed has agreed to the fees fire, but it appears the rebel tpl f o t great people's liberation front have not we

actually assure that the enemy, when one doesn't have to give me just a few more minutes, re taken the regional capital mckelly, which it control before ahmed came to power in 2018 as cease fire is just what this region desperately needs. but no one is really sure if that's what it's really got. there's so many questions to ask here for more. we want to go now. i want to call you. hi lou joins me. he is a blogger. he also reports for d, w, africa desk. it's good to have you on the program tonight. we know that the government is declaring a unilateral cease fire, but t great fighters. they say they're going to continue fighting. it looks like at least from the outside. it looks like you that you have the government,

the military capitulating here. is that what we're seeing? now it is actually difficult to trust both sides because to be left is not in the, in its target ship, these forms, but at the same time, in the past 2 weeks, the fight has been intensifying and benjamin seen a lot of times he's fire came after you know, military advancement has increased the size of the p and there, so i think it is the frustration that the force it on forces to do to, to make this kind of decision to leave mckinley and declare a buyer. but it looks like we've got a picture here that the rebels, the t great fighters, that militarily, that they are suddenly stronger than the military coming from the government of

ethiopia. is that the case? yeah, it looks like a lot better if we actually seen tried to compare what to be live hot when the water start to do november. you had little ladies in committee to keep man. so it was supposed to have been recon given also that the force is dispersed, the director of the country and has been changed the way by multiple forces from india and forces and forces. but you know, the popular, the popular really and the introduced and from the public made it be because to you know, the, the fight from the people site is not is i think what made to be a live look like stronger than before. and i want to ask you about prime minister,

i'll be off it. we know that this is a nobel laureate. there's been a lot of pressure on him to find a peaceful solution. here this unilateral cease fire declared by his government, is that the result of all of this pressure on him to be the peacemaker that the world thought he was. yeah, i'm sure the pressure from around the world have contributed greatly to the withdrawal of its forces along with, you know, the pressure from within to get this done from the that other stuff from the people . i mean, the government literally diplomatically, has lost its legitimacy and the, you know, when i think the election, the past few weeks, i mean, we can go knobs quoted government back because at the same time,

somehow the have gotten to the prostate jabante, the prime minister party sample bit ok, both called to helping us understand the latest developments in ethiopia tonight. thank you. increasing numbers of corona virus cases linked to the delta vary are causing concern here in europe. some countries have reimpose travel restrictions just weeks after easing them. visitors to portugal have been cutting short their holidays dealing fresh blows to people whose livelihoods depend on tourists. this kelly has been operating here in lisbon for more than a 100 years. the shop survived the last major global pandemic. the spanish flew its owner. jose bronco isn't easily shocked, but he is worried to lisbon is very dependent on tourism. a large part of our business comes from this sex to reach. lots of those tourists

come from germany, but with the delta corona virus very spreading in lisbon and the l. gov, germany has now classified portugal as a virus variant area, even though cases remain low in some places. if you look at payroll in austria, only certain regions were restricted, but now all of portugal is being held responsible. that doesn't make any sense. anybody traveling from portugal to germany? miss ny quarantine for 2 weeks, including people who are fully vaccinated. monday was the last day to leave before the new rules came into effect. it's been, i'm happy that we're going home today. it was just by chance that we booked for today, but we're on the safe side and won't have any problems getting back to germany. i think it's good that they've reacted in and people coming back have to quarantine for 2 weeks, but the down for variant will spread anyway. i was fewer holidaymakers will hit the tourism industry hot just when it was starting up again. but back at the deli,

jose bronco remains optimistic. chavez, the board is close and then open again. that's the pandemic cycle, but everything will get back to normal. the local certainly hope so. and so do the tourists and here's a look. now, what's more developments in the pandemic, the makers of russia's sputnik v vaccine say it is slightly less effective against the delta barrier of the corona virus compared to the original strain. brisbin has become the latest australian city to if you stay at home orders more than 10000000 people are now in lockdown. and germany's foreign minister has defended lifting a blanket, travel warning for all corona virus, risk areas. warnings will apply only where the incidence rate is above $200.00 per 100000 where new variance are prevalent or the delta v area. there's also having a devastating impact in other parts of the world. the red cross is warning that

indonesia stands on the brink of a corona virus catastrophe. southeast asia, the most populous country, is seeing infection rates, rocket. strict walk the on measures are expected to come into force. it's not much, but it helps getting treatment for k with 9 team in indonesia is neither easy nor comfortable. hospitals have no more room to base patients. they are relegated to make shift tense where health work is overwhelmed by an influx of seriously ill people. and they get past city of the trash cans is the portable band. the number of people coming here to ask for medical treatment is really high. we can just reject somebody even willing to take wheelchairs. we've just booked a hallway and made it into an additional trial. with 15 beds that might happen to

them, but the door with a just under 5 percent of the population fully vaccinated and infection rates tripling in the last few weeks, indonesia is teetering on the edge of a corona virus catastrophe. oxygen is becoming a scarce commodity. many desperate family members end up at shops like thieves in search of cylinders for their loved ones. oh, jan cylinders are getting harder to find. the distributor is running out of stock. supplies is still a case of the moment, but they're being restricted and demand keeps increasing. money i'm afraid of demand stays this high will be running out of oxygen to give and that will probably start this 2nd wave of infections is being grand on travel during last month's aid

holiday, as well as more contagious variance. like the delta strain, the red cross has warned with that an urgent increase in medical care treatment and vaccinations is needed to have that a full blown crisis. until now president, your daughter has insisted current restrictions, a sufficient that is graveyards to reach that capacity. he's coming under increasing pressure to introduce much strict measures. and let's take a look now. it's a more headlines. french lawmakers have legalized fertility treatments for all women. under the previous law in vitro fertilization was only available to head arose, sexual couples, single women and lesbian couples. will now also have access to the procedure. many women in france travel abroad to received in vitro spain. government has adopted a draft law that would allow anyone over the age of 14 to legally change their

gender without medical checks. legislation now has to a public hearing before a vote in spain's lower house of parliament at the european championship, a turn that watched around the world. england had defeated their old nemesis, germany. that means england advanced for the quarter finals. germany are out where he sterling broke a scoreless deadlock into 75th minute for england. harry came followed up and insurance go as england one to nil or this cross over another london she dw sports, corresponded jonathan harding. good evening to you, jonathan. what happened to germany? well, what didn't happen in this game? i think it's the big question. i mean, germany or out of germany career is over. england have banished some demons. i mean, exercise, some demons, even. i mean, it's really a fantastic often in a crazy afternoon sort of headlines. so the big question is, what didn't happen?

but the main thing is that germany around germany just barely got out of the 1st round, the group stages. did they look like they belong with the elite of europe for the elite of the world for that matter? no, i think that's the biggest issue throughout this tournament. and basically, ever since russia, germany have not know like one of the best sides in the world, that will be the thing that hangs around your cumberland legacy. at the end of it all, i think that's the biggest issue in germany. never looked like they were on the, the top level. they were never looking like decide they could compete with the ring then. so you're, if you're francis. and so this is perhaps a very unsurprising end to life love, but also not surprising into a disappointing sentiment for germany. england play better than you were expecting them to play. no, it was a bit of a know the game. i think it was. you know, the expected outcome, this is always been intense fixture. it turned out that way, this time, it was a bit of a poker situation. if you like for both coaches,

who would french 1st, who would react 1st in england, did germany were too conservative, but too long and as ultimately what cost them on the day? alright, the w jonathan harding with the results good for england. not too good for the team known as the man shock. jonathan, thank well, as we mentioned, the germany loss in the european championship brings the era of your walk and live as head coach to an end is legacy includes. football is the biggest prize, but recent years have been difficult as love struggled to blend the young players with experienced world cup winners. here's a look at yogi. loved years at the help us him live era is history. after a total of 17 years with germany national team, one the longer than anglo merkel, chancellor ship in 2004. then germany coach yoga. clinton, surprised everyone by pointing at his assistant. they had got to know each other during training courses with the german f, a sub lines and

a few from i learned incredible amount from your be off instead. so in coaching, cause he was the only one who could explain in 30 seconds how the back full should be new in certain situations. and we can see that the claim man, the official coach, took on the role as a motivator. love who many considered the secret boss with in charge of tactics. he avoided immature, and we always wanted to be a trend setter. and we want to be ahead of the other teams that, well, i will look to the future this week. we're a little luck vision area. this will be some research. i was off to the 2006 world cup claims been departed justice, surprisingly as he came and you'll be, love took over the reins and found great success. the 2008 euros run up, 2010 will top 3rd place, 2012 euros the semi finals. 2014 will cover the highlights, a trophy in rio. and then the 2016 euros,

another semi final. and then came the spectacular crash. the 2018 woke up was a disaster. the defending champions crushed out in the brute stage, the worst germany performance at a world company. human shop team didn't show they normally can do. but as coach, i'm responsible, and of course i have to ask myself why we didn't manager love wanted to stay. and his bosses agreed. yet he couldn't find redemption for the 2018 world cup debacle at this euro's it wasn't a total disgrace. they were knocked out in the round of 16 by invoice. so what remains up the yogi lows 15 years that the hells, one shiny piece of silverware, just the one but the biggest one of the lot. and he's reminded the top stories that

were following for you. former south african president, jacob zoom has been sentenced to 15 months in prison. he was found guilty of content support after refusing to appear before a corruption scandal and jubilant england. have beaten old rivals, germany to nil stadium in london. even go through to the quarter finals of the euro . 2020 turn them in germany are out watching the w news. after a short break. i'll be back to take you through the day tonight, south africa's former president, given the orders today, go to jam. we'll be right back with the news. the

what measures are being taken? what does the latest research say? information and context ah, dated the central monday to friday on d. w. me in the climate change the pool or the people what ideas do they have for their future? d, w dot com, african megacity. the thing that you can click and enter the little guy that is that 77 percent the platform for african issues and share ideas. you know,

we in north africa population is growing young people clearly have the solutions, the future, the 77 percent. now every region on the w 2 day, the highest court in south africa sent out a strong message that no one, not a former head of state, not a former freedom fighter. no one is above the law and that includes former president jacob zoom and he's about to begin 15 months in prison on contempt charges. and sima has repeatedly refused to appear and testify before corruption inquiry with him at the center of the allegations.
