nice because i would never have thought that can be live. so i'm jewish in europe. the 2 part documentary starts july 5th on dw, ah, in the this is the, the news and these are our top story. former south african president jacobs. numa has been sentenced to 15 months in jail after the country's top court found him guilty of contempt. duma had refused an earlier order to testify before a corruption panel investigating allegations that he allowed the wondering of government conference during his 9 year term. fighters from ethiopia as t ry region have rejected these fire with the government. they have recapture the

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 zima has repeatedly refused to appear and testify before corruption inquiry with him at the center of the allegations. he has publicly mocked justice system. when today the court decided enough is enough, and they called his bluff, eyebrow golf and berlin. this is the day the me i would please to the republic, africa ended up, they observed, hold and maintain the constitution and all the low you have followed the charges that have been put, you know, from the inside for them i 3. how do you need to then?

i plead not to to declare that mistake. you call it. he said he is due to of the crime of contempt of court. in my point of view, i think it's just, it's taking it for this is for the president. nothing also coming up, they had the advantage of playing at home and it might have tipped the balance in 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 and it means it means everything to be. then we know that there are good se with excellent as an a great style of play. to our viewers on p b. s. in the united states, into all of you around the world, welcome. we begin the day with all of south africa waiting to see if in when former president jacob zoom 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. his 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 zoom a could be spoken by the man who replaced him and south african president, 0 ram, a photo. he has the power to pardon zuba. in a moment, i'll ask one of south africa most respected legal voices. how possible is a pardon? we have this report, so no political prisoner to south african president,

jacob, good zoom. i swear that i would be faithful to the republic of africa. ended up, they observed a whole and maintain the constitution, and all the low 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, 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 for decades,

he's been accused of getting rich off the back to the poor. he swore to bring economic prosperity and equality. a commission is investigating charges that seem to bribes in exchange for lucrative deals, estate own companies. critics, davis 79 year old abused his powers, who are good friends for 10, dodge prison time, but the things are about to change. as long as you've been independent judiciary rule of lawrence, all africa citizens can steep 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 the 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 youth. and he has been fighting for the substitute, which how much

had perfect his innocence and says the charges against him are politically motivated. ah. my 1st guess tonight has been called the conscience of south africa . truly, madam say that spent 7 years is the public protector of south africa, exposing corruption at the highest levels 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. ms. med insanely. 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, ram of folks would have the power to pardon him. do you think that he would do that and greetings that only president was that could, could potentially pardon 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 posted by the department of justice. certainly you have to be part of your end to and then the department of justice is a unit that with the family every once in what be the end to which the completion, what we did the implications of planning them for the common good in africa law and justice in italy and then they would have meant to visit consumer in their transpiring. i meant they would recommend to place it in grammar in it's, i mean, so yes, it is a possibility, but it's not different than a possibility for any other math in convicted of the 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 it ended up being. it was president obama and in the u. t. sherry with who was going to bring 1st and then unfortunately, the outcome was pre determined when you refuse to obey no full court order. the rule of law requires that the court repeats the way they would deal with any arthur and refuses to obey court orders, and it is contempt to court any prison sentence to go with it or replied. and in this particular case,

not only hit the president of the fight, the constitutional court defied also the commission of inquiry in court and relatively, really to, to list of these institutions without any shred of evidence. for example, right now, it has been presented as we can shut down between the current president and president summa, instead of being simply a matter that was investigative and is currently being treated by commission of inquiry, but was designed and appointed by this particular president was met on 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 law. would you agree that this is a, an important case for all of africa? actually you are right so that it is, this is stress test for the extent to reach the welcome office is holding. and one of the measures of a holding democracy is impunity. and throughout my 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 there were no holes . and president zoom as defiance of these processes threatened to undermine every look law. ever to god was the faith was invited in office to also disrespect the judges by a, by election all manner of themes. the judge. is it not providing any

this is a nasty a. you defy the course, you undermine because the court orders issued 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 anticipated as a better quote for to she would be seen as it be kind of hope for democracies, particularly all christians. but what i know for sure is that in the drafting of

this constitution, we looked at the past. and we also looked at the future. and president, nelson mandela was stated in the most, in overland governments, within them, persons with propensity, human failings. and that's why we're crafted this constitution in the faith continue to have these multiple structures to ensure it. please enter the accountability system that will ensure that it will never without a remedy or any injustice, a complaint the person. and i think he predicted that this constitution is for all seasons because every time we had a crisis, we people even thought of it may be a precipice. maybe with a constitutional crisis. the constitution has failed, but it has held because the dish has done what this is supposed to do, even if it's unpleasant, if it makes it and put it hurt,

it is the ultimate audience. yeah. 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. oh, 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 rocks by massive pro democracy protests. and below includes $66.00 articles criminalizing acts of subversion, succession collusion with foreign forces and terrorism, all of which can be punished by like imprison critics, a 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. they'll be with one chin even in the darkest 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 isn't last, may just after hong kong or is heard about the national security law. all those at 20, he's one of the oldest in the group. there is 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, which i wanted to dedicate myself to activism while i was still free,

though they are still work. i know many political influences seldom speak in public . they could be coughed under the national security law with 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 in exile. all that i ball why one has been arrested 4 times in the last year, twice just this month. marches are banned under pandemic rule. 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 beijing says is an extremely small minority that the national security law targets to preserve stability. one thing i tried stability brought by

the national security law is just an illusion and is built on people's fear. there's no room for farther a treat. what if even the terms freedom and democracy become to be one day. i won't compromise on my speech or that if he will, he and his groups support those already in jail. they take supplies to protesters behind bars, on where your handle, hong kong future is more important in my one future. when the political prisoners are released in years or decades to come, i don't want them to return to work hong kong, hong kong without hong callers. all in many see we are the kids chosen by the time. but i think it's we who have chosen this era scenario. you'll see all the symbols on his skin state, his certainty,

the tattoos are messages of defiance to his future self. 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 acoustic of coal looting with the fall and power. because previously i did last national advocacy and law across the world. i went to the us congress to testify on grant and compliments to sanctioned hong kong officials.

so i understand that i will be wait for when the law is pastor faculty. i also understand because i saw the primary should last. you can also be and other reason for compliments 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 advocacy with me for the past few years. he's not already detained in person. and other friends of mine will also participate in our time of election and they are also be arrested in person right now for a 2 step for supporting that. i'm not sure it all. so apparently the specialist

role really trying to demolish as you gravitate the hope with a walk, as you can in hong kong, many axis, either you jail or you excel, you mentioned named joshua one. you know, he was on this program many times before. he was sent to prison. i wonder how do you feel watching from a far 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 stadium, christian lifestyle and the same. yes. we can lot anticipate when we can be again, this is really that is payday i that other thing is bad. jane. money spent chi courageous friends like alone. busy and staying behind the bar,

we understand that the civil society lost a lot of weight. ok, so i think there's an politician and this we could our civil society and also it really is a fatal to our society. people, you know, they did, 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 we trying to destroy the whole hong kong and the so called one country co systems funds or the growth. but the other hand, we also understand you can be laurel for presidency to do so because

we also understand that he is going to $14.00. and that's a term of all 3 of the party china. and that's why he has to demonstrate his willingness and power over home home by saying that he can show at home home you can rest or hopefully democracy act in hong kong in order to to, to out the fest. 41 for she's 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 yeah, those were the reactions, as england defeated, their arch rivals, germany and the euro. 2020 football tournaments. raheem sterling broke a scoreless deadlock into 75th minute london with the stadium minutes later. thomas mueller 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. yeah. mark and be what went wrong for germany? well, the very, basically mr. chances do very big jones's team of enter in the 1st half to must mueller. in the 2nd half, which would have been an equalizer which could have turned the game. you, mr. john, so you're not going to win football much is but there's a deeper molly thing with the german team that just looked sluggish. you know much hard there. couple of them. the wic over the hill know and they had 2 players on the bench. leroy and a surge cannot agree who are super attacking players. german funds had been crying for them to go on, but they didn't. so a lot wrong with germany. england can be very pleased with their performance, another clean sheet. they're not considered a goal yet. and the tournament, which is a lot to build on and on. yeah, great victory, historic victory as well for them. first victory over germany and

a major tournament. and 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, there's no conceited the goal and that so that's a platform to build on for any fatal. and they also have a very weak state of the draw. and if they play enrollment courses in between the winners, when you said me, which you would expect to win. and if they get through that, they play the winner chicken public against denmark. again, you've given them an england not before the tournament. they said yes, please. so if you can get to the final and i wouldn't write them off, but he will be my tip. i still think belgium actually in spain have 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 too strongly 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 in total,

15 years as coach. i just think that there's a, there's a stillness there. the need a new voice in the changing room. and k 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 sunny, of cannot re and the team. and i think a lot of german funds had been so disappointed that they kind of went, oh, in this very conservative fashion coach, you're welcome to me. this was his final match as germany's coach of so what's next for the, the team that leaves behind well, 100 flick takes over. and he has done wonders with buying 7 titles in 18 months there. and 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 coach and stuff. the one the world cup in 2014. so whether he's gonna 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

b w sports more. thank you. well, the day's almost done, but the conversation continues online. you'll find it on twitter either the w news . you can follow me and brent golf tv and remember whatever happens between now and then tomorrow is another day we'll see you then everybody the news ah cruise ah, the the news,

the news, the news we don't want to see what they are. they're in the streets. water. even now we're here. unseen about the hidden threats you're facing. and the heroes taking the stand to stop them. the on the w. you go africa. south africa must be

farm helpers. pocket. they all help. he'll oil oil on this old paragon if completely and now we're putting all of those nutrients back in the soil from what we call leverage a successful model for organic farming africa in 60 minutes on the w o. the, it's about billions. it's about power. it's about the foundation of the world order, the new silk road. china wants to expand its influence with this trading network also in europe. china is promising partners rich profits.

in europe, there's a sharp warning. wherever accepts money from the new super power will become dependent on it. china's gateways, europe, starts july 1st on d, w. o . the welcome to global 3000 winds and some showing how the dominican republic is turning its back on fossil fuels. we find out how a malaysian celebrity chef is raising awareness about an unseen, but ever increasing stress fast down. so music is on the rise in jamaica. so is the

merge of rates. what's the name between music and file and the late back reg, funding beaches and relaxed caribbean vibe that you may test. but the island also has the dunk aside. in 2019 more than 1300 people when there were a similar number of shootings. and just under $500.00 cases of rape bearing a day goes by without bloodshed, much of the perpetrators a young people who are taking cues from the music scene. we are on top of the missile, getting bang, a star of the to make dance. we'll seen have just released a new album. so normally i get it to a rifles in the recording studio. approx used in his videos, which are saturated with imagery of gangster culture gardens and drugs and lyrics

with distinctly violent overtones from dan. so the cool kids and the tough ones, that's how we live. that's always what is life, then what is life it or negative? that is that level of negative and positive. i mean that's what just speak to. don cool is the most popular music genre in jamaica, and the biggest hits tend to revolve around violence as far as going to bang is concerned, he's keeping his stance that he can't understand the criticism he comes in full from some courses by actual pin birthday can me, i can be and it can be just that we have to express the whole skill you are kingston's get has have been played by violence for decades. jamaica has long had one of the highest murder rates in the world.

don, fast rhythm and rule lyrics have seen it take beyond the storm rated on every street corner. children grow up in the field. a huge debate about where the boundaries of should be draw. video dawns, whole reflect reality or does the music promote criminal behavior? doesn't glorify violence, homophobia, and some of the answers not even convicted criminals themselves to make his prime minister once donald to be aware of his responsibility. and you will have the protection of the constitution. the thing about it also about doing it to the right one. right. andrew geo hagen work through violence prevention organization. he takes us through

the slums of kingston increasingly dominated again warfare. he explains the roots of the violence that he's experienced 1st hand himself. when you're born in a section of the community, you learn to heat another section on a community because maybe a person might have killed your father might kill your fist. they are brought a own cause, a person living with those kind of anger. it's hard to find someone here who has not lost a loved one to gun violence. common son was killed recently by a bullet in the back, just one of the countless murders that never see any one prosecuted. so it's a similar case with collins neva, his son was executed with a shock to the head. the violence is driven by desperate lack of opportunities for the poor here, neglected and ignored by politicians, put schools and put prospects, accompanied by

a hunger for recognition. when they see that you're doing well, you can talk today most the god to live, they will listen to you because so much and be to be or the industry in for them. so what can you see? it's fine for survival that breathes further violence. revenge was under demand for respect combined to form a vicious circle. as gang member garfield confirms deceased him through the rena anymore. yes, and i'm yes, it was on the mars everybody. i look exactly way and i look or feel free every nia for every job on high with that will have the dog side to the back for other onto it for so good. watching those among the best known artists outside kingston is 21 year old coffee. her

music features, the rigor infused mix of dance. who am paul you got this? i don't know that i love it. i mean, you know, yeah. coffee won the grammy for best reggae album. her message is a positive one. i think i understand the poor of music for it. gold like whole nippy can you know, go into a person's life or in a person's life. almost music can mean to them. and i think it's my royal to, you know, seem positive lyrics and hope positive eyes and i think be a positive public figure. her big inspiration as her mother who gave her a happy childhood despite the lack of money. her coffee was able to finish school and got her musical training in church. she wants to be a role model in jamaica and not only for women for teachers in more love and appreciate them from home. so that when they grew older, already have

a phone diesel. in their confidence and death to expose themselves in a certain way in order to get a certain results. while coffee is going her own way, violence remains a dominant and disturbing factor in tonsil music. stick is everywhere from its 1st use up until 2019. we people produced an estimated 9000000000 tons of it. half of all plastic products the single use, and just the fraction of them i recycled. the mountains of fasting ways to expanding steadily. the majority of plastic trash is dumped, burns or ends up somewhere in the environment around $25000000.00 tons of plastic waste and his already sions. that's around one truckload per minute. if this continues in 10 years, it will be to truckloads. and by 2054 per minute, then there will be more plastics than fish in the see. me pick need

centuries to decompose so many future generations will have to face the repercussions of our use of it today. series on the scenes aims to open our eyes to environmental impacts, which are easy to overlook this week. we had to malaysia me this is just to now for the final ingredients, the the you never, he got the heat chances. you already need to the stuff is the

the food has always been part of my life. it brings my family close together. and i love it so much, i've made a living out of it. i am the host of the number one food show in the me is estimates about 250000 ton plastic afloat in the see. it's every way. so it means it's also in your 4th

in the last it doesn't via the grid all magically disappeared. it can breaks into small particles called micro bus that smaller than 5 millimeters. mm. the ocean is full of plastic and the marine organism living in this was awfully mistaken for sol, michael bus to end up to our play. a previous report estimated 5 grams of michael classics a week. that's similar to what we we we need home cooked food, stomachs. so this is a week, week, week, ma'am,

i need to know how the bus to get food and now that we know we can actually learn and do something about it. okay. so we still don't know yet effects of myself. i see. so you might have a but in the previous 10 years, many years to chips all over the world and trying to find the real effects. so the organism to human have but what we can call it is not a good thing for song effects that has entered into our system. symptom of a much bigger problem, the policy

makers or the government itself. actually a very important rule in reducing plastic waste. the ends up in ocean that is mismanaged the law, plastic for produce the mall microphone. there will be contain to popular believe michael. patrick's not just in the book. we know at one of the most of the spoke in turn, daniel and we would like to investigate the apple and micro bus to leave this up for one whole. the ah, this is what we have right now. we have several of my school bus cases such as

a filament sort of like this is what every day reading really stopped breathing. wow. we breathing in plastic right now. i think one of the things that we should do is useless. plastic. first, use, last thing use, thanks me use your plastic. has to don't our part to ensure that room of plastic goes into our oceans. because what goes into the oceans goes into the animals, goes into the very environment, goes into the air, goes to the water. right back to us found out in your toilet. michael plastic products as well. we can do something about it every single minute of every single day. we can choose how we

buy and we choose what food we eat. and we can also choose how we throw out or manage our ways. and by finding out that we can actually recycle or up cycle, at least we can prevent the cycle from, you know, repeating. i do want to sound too preachy. but after learning what we've learned, we really have to put the message out that every person should have the responsibility of. when we leave this earth, going to leave it a little bit better than when you found it. if every person on that we would leave a better for children, children, surely. so at least you know that to do it. starts with us. in renewable energy sources gradually gaining ground over the past decade. the share of energy generated by the sun and wind globally increased from 8.7 percent

to 11.2 percent. that's the good news. about the same time global energy consumption is also rising. the bad news is that within the energy mix, the proportion of energy generated from fossil fuels remains constant. in 2009 electricity gain from oil, coal and gas made up over 80 percent of the global energy use as it still did 10 years later in 2019 as energy demand increases. so therefore, does our consumption of fossil fuels. it's time to step up the shift to renewables and in the dominican republic. and i'm vicious energy transition is well underway from global ideas. theories are reported. catchy. went back to find out more about the market day in savannah. rio and villages are coming together. the little mountain village lives in the west of the dominican republic.
