the, you know, north of the african population is willing to try and young people clearly have the solutions that do job 77 percent. now every region on the w today, 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. he has publicly mocked general

system. when today, the court decided enough is enough, and they called his bluff eyebrow golf in berlin. this is the day the news i would be paid to the republic, africa ended up, they observed, hold and maintain the constitution and all as a low. you have followed the charges that have been put to you now from the indictment. am i correct? how do you read to them? plead not guilty. declared that mistake g called. he said he is guilty of the crime or contempt of court in my point of view. i think it's just, he's taking it for the president. nothing for the

also coming up, they had the advantage of playing at home and it might have tipped the balance of the euro 2020 football tournament. england had defeated the rival, they love to hate the most de mannschaft, also known as germany. i'm not going to play down, it means it means everything to be, then we know that there are good se with excellent players and a great style of play. with our viewers on p b. s in the united states and to all of you around the world. welcome. we begin today with all of south africa waiting to see if in, when former president jacob zimmer turns himself into the police. today, south africa, the highest court held a zoom in contempt, sentencing him to more than a year in prison. he now has 5 days to decide go to prison under his own volition or go to prison under arrest. this could be the 1st, but not the last prison sentence, for the former president is refusal to testify before an inquiry resulted in

today's order to go to jail. but zoom, who says that he's the target of a political which faces numerous other charges stemming from his time in office including corruption, racketeering and money laundering. the highest court may have spoken today, but the final word on zimmer could be spoken by the man who replaced him as south african president. several ramifications. he has the power to pardon zuba. in a moment, i'll ask one of south africa's most respected legal voices. how possible is a pardon? we have this report. so no political prisoner, south african president, jacob, they said you swear that i would be faithful to the republic of south africa. ended up, they observed a whole and maintain the constitution. and all other law

citizens revere jacob zima for his fight against apartheid. he spent 10 years in prison for conspiracy to overthrow the white minority government. now he's been sentenced to 15 months in jail for contempt of court after refusing to appear at a corruption inquiry earlier this year. i think the lesson today is that regardless of who you are off, what section you are in, what support you can rally the law still applies to you. but the sentence doesn't. and the former president's legal well for decades, he's been accused of getting rich off the bat, the poor. he swore to bring economic prosperity and equality. a commission is investigating churches that seem to bribes and exchange for lucrative deals. estate own companies say that 79 year old abused his powers, french, and dodge, present time. but the things are about to change. as long as you've got an

independent judiciary root of lawrence, all africa citizens can speak easier, not knowing that the rocks are protected and the country is insulated from politicians who want to abuse the power factions of soon as an african national congress say the sentencing and upcoming corruption trials are a way to restore the national moral fiber to supporters disagree. president has been nothing but a huge and didn't fight for the political which how much of the policy has perfect his innocence and says the charges against him are politically motivated. for my 1st guess tonight has been called the conscience of south africa. truly, madam saying that spent 7 years is the public protector of south africa, exposing corruption,

the highest level of politics and receiving death threats in the process before then. she was part of the team that drafted the constitution for the new south africa more than 20 years ago. it's been on sale. it's good to have you on the day . if i could, i'd like to maybe start perhaps at the, the ending 1st. if the former president zoom were to be found guilty of corruption and these other charges against him, current president obama foes would have the power to pardon him. do you think that he would do that and greetings that any president was that could potentially pardon the president, but he would not treat him any differently than it would treat anybody who has been convicted in a court of law. there are requirements. these matters approved by the department of justice. certainly you have to so part of your n 2. and then the department of justice is the unit that with the families,

everyone's because what in the end to which being countries in what we did, the implication of pardoning them for the common good in south africa, the rule of law and injustice generally. and then they would recommend to president summa in a transparent, and they would recommend to visit in grammar in the i mean, so yes, it is a possibility. but if not different than a possibility for any other person convicted of a crime in jacob zoom, or we know his 5 days to turn himself in or face being arrested, it has almost the feeling of a show down between jacob zuba and the judiciary. is that what we are seeing now?

he said that's what he ended up being. it was presidents, mom and the teacher re 8 with who was going to bring 1st. and then unfortunately, the outcome was pre determined when you refuse to obey no full court order. no longer required, but the court, you repeat the way they would deal with any other refuses to obey court orders. and if he's contempt of court, any pass has a prison sentence to go with it or reply. and in this particular case, the thickness not only had the president of them defied the constitutional court, defied. also the commission of inquiry insulted code and relatively missing one of these institutions without any scripts of evidence. for example,

right now, it has been presented as because they shut down between the current president and president, duma. instead of being simply a matter that was investigated. and it's currently been completed by commission of inquiry that was designed and appointed by this particular president was met him sailor. the story of jacob zuba is becoming more and more of a stress test for the countries judicial authority. and for the rule of law, the world is watching closely to see just what kind of fate jacob zimmer will have . because across the continent, the list of former leaders accused of corruption but never held to account. that list is, is along. would you agree that this is a, an important case for all of africa? actually you are right so that it is stress test for the extent to reach a with a more press is holding. and one of the measures of

a holding can chrissy is impunity. and throughout my payment of protector and interaction with the investment community and just others who are watching. one of the things we've always been praise for is the extent to which the law holds. and president zoom as defiance of these processes threatened to mind. it will not enter to be safe, but it was inviting us to also disrespect the charges by the by election all manner of themes without providing any this is a message a you defy the cause under mine because you move it to the former south african president he has legal problems, the former us president donald trump. he also has legal problems. take me back to

the time when south africa's new constitution was being drafted. it's being compared with the us constitution at this moment. did you ever imagine that you would see a time when this constitution of south africa would be looked at? and when the u. s. judiciary system would even be measured by it actually she now i never anticipate is a better way to, to shoot the scene. is it because of hope for democracy, particularly old questions, but what i know for sure is that in the drafting of this constitution, we look at the past. and we also looked at the future. and president, nelson mandela was sitting in the most in overland governments. within them, persons with propensity to speak, human failings. and that's why we crafted this constitution in the faith. continue to have these multiple structures to ensure it. please enter the accountability

system that will ensure that people never without a remedy or any interest is a complaint. the one that isn't and i think he predicted that this constitution is for all seasons because every time we've had a crisis where people even thought about, maybe we at a precipice, maybe with face in a constitutional crisis. the constitution has failed, but it has held because the tradition has done what it is supposed to to me and pleasant in this. it makes it and popular. it hurts it to meet guardians of the constitution for all seasons eloquently said, truly, i don't say that we appreciate you taking the time to talk with us tonight. we appreciate your insights as well. thank you.

it has been one years since trying to impose a new security law on hong kong. beijing says the legislation was key to bring stability to a city rocked by massive pro democracy protests. and the low includes $66.00 articles criminalizing acts of subversion, session collusion with foreign forces and terrorism, all of which can be punished by like imprison, critic say, gives beijing the power to silence critics and punish pro democracy activists. in the past year, authorities have use the law to close independent media and arrest or jail leaders of the pro democracy approaches. many have left hong kong. some say to save their lives. of those who remain few are willing to speak out are corresponded cb kong met one of the writing, his politics and his love of hong kong into his skin still be with one your chin

even in the dark his days solving whole whole i hope me remind me of the beliefs i started with, even if i'm jailed in the future. one started the group student politicize and last may just after hong kong or is heard about the national security law. at 20. he's one of the oldest in the group there as young as 15. there's some of the few still visible on the streets. many other groups are gone. sorry, not all with that. well, i decided not to go to college last year. so i wanted to dedicate myself to activism while i was still free, though they are still, i know many political influences seldom speak in public. they could be called under the national security law, all else, especially with it being so uncertain migalia how we feel like we have to step out . especially when prominent figures are either in jail or an exile. all

that i for why one has been arrested 4 times in the last year, twice just this month. march is our band under pandemic rules. he and his group hand out leaflets instead, but it's enough to get him into trouble. the pressure is intense. he knows national security officers are watching him. he doesn't go to sleep until 7 am. so he's awake at dawn. that's when police arrest people at home. he's part of what being says is an extremely small minority that the national security law targets to preserve stability. one guy i tried stability brought by the national security law. it's just an illusion and is built on people's fear. there's no room for further crete, hot water, even the terms freedom and democracy become to be one day. i won't compromise on my speech or that if you will. he and his groups support those already in jail. they

take supplies to protesters behind bars. on your handle on hong kong future is more important in my one future, gaining when the political prisoners are released in years or decades to come. i don't want them to return to worst hong kong hong kong without home college all. and we have got many see we are the kids chosen by the time, but i think it's we who have chosen this era. since i've seen this symbols on his skin state, his certainty, the tattoos are messages of defiance to his future self. well, i'm joined now by sunni challenge. he's a hong kong pro democracy activists. he's been living in exile for the past year. he is currently in the united states. it's good to have you on the program. we

appreciate you actually talking with us at this moment. i know you left hong kong last year. why did you decide that it was time to go? yeah. major the, there are 2 reasons. one of them is that according to the national law, of course, i will be one of the pocket. like, be accused of co looting with the foreign powers, because purposely i did, i was talking to national advocacy and lobby across the grove. i went to the u. s. congress to testify on grants and compliments to sanctioned hong kong officials. so i understand that i will be great, correct when the law is past the fact that i also understand because i thought the primary should last. you can also be and other we use and for the

government to accuse me for supporting the which this is absurd. but this is really happening in hong kong sunni. do you think if you had stayed in hong kong, do you think that you would be in prison right now? yeah, absolutely. because previously many friends off my, including just a wong who the international i because it with me for the past few years, he's not already detained in prison. and the friends of mine will also participate in our time of election. and they are also be arrested in person right now for accused at full suppressed kinda which i'm not sure it all. so apparently the national separated law really trying to demolish as you gravitate the hopefully walk as you can in hong kong, many actors, either jail or you excel. you mentioned the name joshua was, you know, he was on this program many times before. he was sent to prison. i wonder how do

you feel watching from before as your fellow activists are being arrested and imprison? i felt really that the stated are really frustrated to witness. many friends of mine to have to like like state christian right now. and the thing that we can lot anticipate when we can be looking this is really that his pe i that other thing is that jane many kind and courageous friends like a long and staying behind the bar. we just then got to civil society. lost a lot of weight or pain. so i think there's an politician this we could our civil society and also if we use a fatal both who are civil society, had people in the changes in hong kong were slow. but it seems this

last correct down happened very quickly. are you surprised by how quickly this this deterioration has been? and i wonder, is there a future at all for the democracy movement in hong kong? on one hand, of course we are all the soc, by how the ccp really trying to destroy the whole hong kong and the so called one country to systems funds or the growth. but the other hand, we also understand that it can be law for presidency to do so because we also understand that next year is going to $14.00, and the term of all 3 of the companies party china. and that's why this the has to demonstrate his willingness and power over hong kong by saying that he can just show at home home, you can rest or the hopefully democracy in hong kong in order to, to,

to out successfully one for his, for turn off the ccp straddle secretary position and that's why we really hope that the international community can help us. it domain, we understand that the pace is really false. we understand that the fight is difficult, but we will try everything we can to continue the fight. so anytime we appreciate you taking the time to talk with us tonight and we appreciate you risking many things to share your story with us. thank you. thank you. the me.

me. yep. those are the reactions, as england defeated, their arch rivals, germany and the euro. 2020 football tournaments. raheem sterling wrote a scoreless deadlock into 75th minute london, wembley stadium, minutes later. so much music just missed out on germany's biggest opportunity. england bank. another goal to win to nail. it means they advance through the quarter finals. germany. well, they're going home i'm doing now here at the big table by mark oregon from b w. sports market be what went wrong for germany? well, the very, basically mr. chances are 2 very big jones's team of enter in the 1st half to must

mueller. and the 2nd half, which would have been an equalizer which could have turned the game you, mr. jones is you know, going to win football matches. but there's the deeper molly, the thing with the german team that just looked sluggish. no, much heart there. couple of them look a bit over the hill. no. and they had 2 players on the bench, leroy on a. and so she cannot be who super but i can players german funds have been crying for them to come on. and, but they didn't. so a lot wrong with germany, england can be very pleased with their performance. another clean sheet that you can see the goal yet, and the tournament, which is a lot to build on. and yeah, great victory, a historic victory as well for them. first victory over germany and a major tournament institute. those do you think germany or england rather have a shot at the title now? and there might have been that's not just because i want to be allowed back to scotland. i think like i said, they've not conceited the goal and that so that's a platform to build on for any faithful. and they also have very weak state of the

draw. and if they play enrollment courses in the winter, when you create which is just context, which you would expect to win. and if they get through that, they play the winner check public against denmark. again, you've given an, an england or not before the tournament. they said yes please. so if they can get to the final and i wouldn't write them off, but he will be my tip. i still think belgium, so in spain had better quality germany scraped by just to get out of the group stages. were they were they out classed, or did you see a spark there for the future? think classes maybe 2 strong the just one quite there. i think the you can be awesome. love as we'll see here. has been there a long time. 17 years and total years is coach. i just think that there's a, there's a stillness there. if you need a new voice in the changing room, and chi hobbits was one of the youngest players on the page today, he played very well, but you really want to see more of a useful enthusiasm of the lakes of sonny of cabinetry and the team. and i think

a lot of german funds are to be so disappointed that they kind of went out in this very conservative fashion, coach york, and left me this was his final match as germany's coach of so what's next for the, the team that leaves behind? well, how does the flick takes over? and he has done wonders with buying 7 titles in 18 months there. whether he's the fresh voice the need though, after so many years of your i can live. i'm not sure he was actually part of the germany coaching staff that won the world cup in 2014. so whether he's going to bring that freshness, we'll have to wait and see, but certainly germany funds will be looking for him to bring in some different players and, and shake things. yeah, definitely. i think a lot of people say it's time for a change for sure. mark. org if and b w sports more. thank you. well, the day's almost done, but the conversation continues online to find us on twitter either the w news. you can follow me and break golf tv and remember whatever happens between now and then tomorrow is another day we'll see you then everybody the

d w. are you ready to get a little more, excuse me? these places in europe are smashing all the records into a venture. just don't lose your grip. the treasure map for modern globe trotter's going for some of us are wicker breaking to know also in book form. i mean, are some flavors that if me let me

do a whole lot me i why i say i just pay all my i i need all my dad. what manner

my me ah ah ah was ah, this is g w. news live from berlin tonight, south africa via court with an order for former president jacob zoo must go to jail zoom. it says it's the 15 month guilty of contempt for repeatedly refusing to answer corruption charges also coming out of government declares the ceasefire. after months of fighting and the great region, but rebels had seized the big city, vowing to drive their enemies out of the region. and the thrill of victory for

england found the 3 lions take revenge on old rivals germany. the european football championship. ah, i bring golf, it's good to have you with us. he was once put in prison for fighting against apartheid. now former south african president, jacob zima is about to go to prison yet again, zoom repeatedly, refused to appear before corruption panel investigating the plundering of government coffers. during his 9 years in office, south africa top court found him guilty of contempt and sentence him today to 15 behind bars. hello, this political prisoner, south african president, jacob good lacy. i swear that i would be faithful

to the republic of africa. ended up a observes, hold and maintain the constitution, and all other law citizens revere jacob zima for his fight against apartheid. he spent 10 years in prison for conspiracy to overthrow the white minority government. now he's been sentenced to 15 months in jail, for contempt of court. after refusing to appear at a corruption inquiry earlier this year, i think the lesson today is that regardless of who you are off, what section you are in, what support you can rally the law still applies to you. but the sentence doesn't, and the former president's legal world for decades, he's an accused of getting rich off the back to the poor. he swore to bring economic prosperity and equality. a commission of investigating churches that seem to bribes and exchange for lucrative deals, estate own companies. critics,

david 79 year old abuse his power, good french, and dodge prison times. but the things are about to change. as long as you've been independent judiciary rule of lawrence, all that bracket, citizens can sleep easier, not knowing that the rocks are protected and the country is insulated from politicians who want to abuse the power factions of soon as an african national congress say the sentencing and upcoming corruption trials are a way to restore the national moral fiber. supporters disagree. president has been nothing but the you and he has been fighting for the political which how poor, much like the the disappeared to perfect his innocence and says the charges against him are politically motivated. so

earlier i spoke with our corresponded christine manuel in cape town, and i asked her if former president jacob zoom will finally turn himself in to police as the court ordered. 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 niece 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 off being given the option to spend his jail sentence in his home pumpkins was not charles for yet. they have continued. they've continued to speak the fighting, feel free to say talking about the fact that he said good bye bye. oh, indication there have not said anything other than the fact that he might be

presenting himself. so it's going to be an interesting next few days. it's not exactly when you present yourself, but he does have 5 days to do. so brings the christine where they are reporting from cape town, staying in africa. ethiopia, as government has declared to cease fire after 8 months of fighting and its t gray region. but rebels say they have now recaptured the regional capital. thousands of people have been killed since funding broke out in november, and more than 2000000 people have been displaced. to pain is everywhere. the thousands of lives lost. many others left fighting for them as to 1000000 displaced from their homes and living in whatever they can find and hundreds of thousands now face via the famine, with millions more in need of food age. these are the scars from 8

months of fighting between ethiopian government soldiers and rebel forces in the t gray region. on monday, the government appointed administration in t grey cold for a cease fire before reportedly fleeing his father in the name of the 2 great and old. he's 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 the rental, buy, and become part of the solution, so that you can let the e, c o p and government led by prime minister abbey ahmed, has agreed to the ceasefire. marriage appears the rebel tpl f o t great people's liberation front have not. it says it's 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 are, let's take a look now and some of the other stories that are making headlines around the world . germany has pulled its last remaining troops out of afghanistan, withdrawals, and a nato mission that began after the september 11th terror attacks almost 20 years ago. germany had stationed some 1100 troops in afghanistan, that's 2nd largest contingent after the united states. french law makers have legalized fertility treatment for all women under the previous law. in vitro fertilization was only available to had a road sexual couples. single women and lesbian couples will now also have access to the procedure. many women often have no choice but to travel abroad to receive in vitro police. here in germany say there is evidence of an islamist motive

behind a mass stamping that left 3 women dead in the bavarian city of void spirit. a suspect with a history of mental illness is being held in custody. investigators say he may not be criminally responsible for his actions. in the aftermath of friday's attack, the search for explanations the suspect film during the rampage. a 24 year old somalian who has been in germany since 2015. he does not have asylum status, but so called subsidiary protection. meaning he cannot be sent back to somalia because of the threats he could face there. inverts, both people are still in shock. most and something has to be done. it's not acceptable. it doesn't matter what their nationality is. if someone is psychologically ill, they can't just be running around his tongue can assist him. laughing police are

investigating a possible islamist motive. witnesses say they heard the attack and shout, god is great in arabic, and this was far from his 1st contact with police. there have been several accounts of the man threatening others with a knife, including at the accommodation where he was stay. a january authorities were alerted to a report he had talked about carrying out islamist killings in somalia. but there's also evidence that he had experienced, right, hate crime. in the summer of 2018, when he was living in the eastern city of cabinets, there was a wave of violence against foreigners following the stabbing of a german back then the votes berg attack. i told reporters he had been chased by neo nazis, and an afghan friend had been beaten up. it's a complex picture, politicians, a warning against drawing the wrong conclusions. as such a case always offers lessons to help us prevents such acts in future. but it is

certainly not right to stir up emotions against particular groups of people or indeed against specific nationalities. the goal is to navigate to the attack areas now in police custody and undergoing psychological evaluation. and made so much that he's unclear. 3 people are dead and several others seriously injured. well, at the european championship a tournament watched around the world, england had defeated their old nemesis, germany. that means england advanced to the quarter finals. germany are out where he sterling broke a scoreless deadlock into 70 just minute for england. harry came followed up with an insurance goal that england won to nil. earlier i spoke to d w jonathan harding, just outside of wimbly stadium and i asked him, what happened to germany?

what didn't happen in this game? i guess the big question, i mean germany or out of germany career is over planning to banish some demons. i mean, exercise, some demons, even. i mean, it's really a fantastic often in a crazy afternoon, full of headlines. so the big question is, what didn't happen? but the main thing is that germany are out. germany just barely got out of the 1st round, the group stages. did they look like they belonged 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 the legacy at the end of it all. i think that's the biggest issue in germany. never look like they were on the the top level . they were never looking like decide that could compete with your england. so you're actually, your francis. and so this is perhaps a very unsurprising end to life alone, but also not surprising into disappointing solomon for germany. england play better

than you were expecting them to play. no, it was a bit of a new game. i think it was 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'd like to both coaches who had french 1st, who would react 1st in england did germany were too conservative for too long, and i saw so many what cost them on the day. alrighty, w jonathan harding with the results. good for england. not so good for the team known as the man shop. jonathan thing with germany's last in the european championship brings the error of your welcome live as head coach to an end. his legacy includes footballs. biggest prize, but recent years have been difficult as love struggled to blend young players with experienced world cup winners. to him, live era is history for a total of 17 years with germany national team,

one year that anglo macros, chancellor ship in 2004. then germany coach yoga. clinton surprised everyone by pointing at a different 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 our coaching course, he was the only one who could explain in 30 seconds how the back full should be moved in certain situations and reason to that's the only claim man. the official coach took on the role as a motivator. love who many considered the secret boss was in charge of tactics. he avoided him. we always wanted to be a trend setter and we want to be ahead of the teams team so. well, i will look to the future this week. we're a little luck visionaries. this will be me lisa and i was off to the 2006 world cup claims. when departed, justice surprisingly became and you'll love took over the reins and found great success. the 2008 euros runners up,

2010 will top 3rd place, 2012 euros the semi finals. 2014 will cover the highlight 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, but defending champions crushed out in the group stage, the worst germany performance ever a world cup. the human shop team didn't show what they normally can do. but as coach, i'm responsible, and of course i have to ask myself why we didn't manage at love wanted to stay. and his bosses agreed. yet he couldn't find redemption for the 2018 world cup to buckle at the euro's. it wasn't a total disgrace. they were knocked out in the round of 16 by english.

what remains the yogi lows 15 years that the home, one shiny piece of silverware. just the one that the biggest, one of the lot like you're watching the w news have next the w business with rob wants to go around. he will be right back. the news . can you hear me now? yes, we are in how we bring you angular mack or you've never had before. right. just so what is what? because who is medical really want to people who follows along the way.
