a party member now to this country have the freedom in football fans hope for more reasons to celebrate when that team plays spain today in the 1st of the european championships, semi finals. ah i'm so gay. a welcome to the program. police in south africa say they will not move to arrest former president jacob's zuba until he has exhausted every legal avenue in his efforts to evade a jail sentence. with the zoom as refusing to hand himself in after the conscious constitutional court sentence him to 15 months in jail, after finding him guilty of contempt refusing to attend a corruption. here it is now waiting a high call a decision on his appeal against arrest. i was speaking to hundreds of supporters

outside his home, the form of president claim there was no need for him to go to jail and ask them to protest peacefully in order to avoid a violent confrontation with police. i call on all my support has to use peaceful means to protest against this injustice. i really must be clear. i'm not asking for sympathy, but justice. more than d. w correspondent, christine montoya, who joins us from outside. the high court in pitt merits burg welcome christie. jacobs duma is asking the high court to dismiss a sentencing post by the constitutional court. so which of these court is more important?

while it will definitely be the constitutional court. that is the court that handed down that guilty verdict of him being in contempt of court. and of course gave him that 15 month jail sentence. now in b, i was off to that particular jasmine was handed down, his lawyers approach that court, the constitutional court. and asked for it to review the case. he said that it was effectively a death sentence, sending him to prison and he has advanced age. he is 79 years old. he's believe to have some medical conditions. and he said that he hadn't received a code 19 vaccination and sending him to prison at the height of the pandemic, really were in the 3rd way here in south africa was tantamount to giving him that the dead sentence. and then he came to this court and asked this court to, to have the police hold the order to arrest him. and that is what the judge will be hearing in this court here today. but certainly the court that takes precedence is the constitutional court full, right? i'm so i how do illegal scholars rates his chances? which way that i think the high courts like me to go well,

many legal experts that i've been listening to off the view that this course is going to possibly throw out and dismiss. the former president room is application on the basis that it does not have the authority and the jurisdiction to overrule the constitutional court. of course, that is widely expected to be the outcome here, but of course it remains to be seen so. so if you're making a request to the court virtually from his home in quasi live in a town where hundreds of his supporters have gathered, that sounds like quite a 10 situation. that's right. so of course we've been hearing from the belief ministry that some of the supporters, for instance, were gathered outside his home over the weekend on sunday when we were there. many of them were on and that is certainly the fear that any installation could result in a serious outbreak of violence. i'm outside the metro high court and a number of support has had already come here to, to, to,

to dance and sing. as you can see behind me over my shoulder, a contingency of police officers there armed with rubber bullets fire arms. and it's actually, they're ready. they have dispersed for the media. right, right. in the last few minutes they've disposed to crowd of people that were gathered here. so the feeling is that this is a very tense situation. if you listen to them, a support is they're using very like serious language. they're saying that we're going to fight to the end. we're going to die in defense of our president. so that is the understanding that nobody wants really escalate the situation. yeah, nobody wants to see a confrontation between the police and supporters of the former president. so in canada, there are gathered there also here, and there are heavy police presence because police have also come discrete me for not camping down on, on, on the support of, of president legal gatherings. public gatherings, excuse me, are not legal at the moment because of the cold in 1900 pandemic restrictions. and so police have really been taken to talk as to why they're not dispersing crowds. why they're not breaking up these gatherings by the support of

a former prison jacobs. him and the police municipality has that he did not want to escalate the situation. but the outcome of this court really will will give it direction as to how the police been act because they also under, in order to arrest the former president, if he fails to hand himself in. so they have until wednesday midnight to do that. the policeman has indicated that he's going to wait for the outcome of this particular court before taking any action. so ok, christine, i'm wonder in pure to manage both. thank you so much. denisia, which is reported that the record, the daily number of 728 corona virus deaths as it faces the deadliest way since upon demick begun. the spike in cases is being attributed to the delta variant and his left overstretched. hospitals facing the shortage of medical oxygen, the government has appealed to neighboring countries for help. camped outside and over crowded hospital cove in 1900 patients fighting for their lives.

the highly contagious delta, very into swept through indonesia, overwhelming the health system and leaving families in a desperate hunt for oxygen, for stricken relatives. i used to refill it a kiosk near home, but there is no supply there. so i came here. the government is struggling to fill the gaps oxy get something that the demand for oxygen has increased 3 to 4 fold and temper distribution. and that is indeed a shortage. and we have asked the 5 biggest oxygen suppliers to dedicate 100 percent of their production to medical needs. we got to find them to stop the spread of the corona virus. the government has imposed a partial lockdown. it also wants to step up vaccination efforts. but with doses in

short supply and only around 5 percent of the population fully vaccinated, another shortage is making itself felt. to cope with the rising death toll farmland, across the country is hastily being converted into make shift, graveyards, or children are generally less seriously affected by coven 19 than others. but the number of indonesian children contracting corona viruses, triple since may, and an increasing number a dying. so me a cabin device chief of health in indonesia for the un children's fund units. welcome to d w. do we know why coven 19 is facing indonesian children? so much harder than elsewhere. thanks very much for having us on the show. so in terms of the overall numbers and indonesia, children have about 12.6 percent that have been affected in terms of the coven, 1900 cases. the each group of 18 years and nobody can cross about

100 countries. we're looking at about 13 percent. so engineer is comparable in terms of the case numbers. many of these cases do tend to be a symptomatic or less serious. however, where there are concerns around the depth rates, we go about 1.2 percent of children dying from cove it as a result of the recent case increase. and this is attributed to a variety of factors. one of them is the increase in numbers overall in the country . pushed the notch bod by the variant. but then there's also cases of under reporting under testing or in some cases make mixed mixed mixed diagnosis. we also do know that children have higher rates of them to use like asthma and pneumonia, or have generally immunocompromised systems which make the move hon jacoby. so this is, this is some of the reasons why we are seeing these numbers. but besides

the direct impact of school at 19, we're also seeing an interest in fact, of called the 1900 on children's health, and well being. the stemming from strained health systems for household income disruption in terms of seeking behavior like immunization exception, which is all contributing to the overall health and wellbeing of children in the country. i'm what sort of states is the vaccination program at so now about 18 percent of the population of the population has been vaccinated. the government has received at this dose. the government has been stepping up efforts on various funds from to ensure that there's going to be larger coverage across the country. they're doing this on various plans, is improving the health systems, increasing their job procurement options through bilateral agreements to the kodak

facility, which is voted by the international community and global partners. they're also looking to increase vaccine demand efforts across the country. they're looking at targeting valuable groups and populations like teachers, but also the elderly coming up with some innovative ways, for example, to ensure as really that are coming to get the pensions can also get their back seen devices. so there's a lot that's happening across the board in terms of using the vaccination coverage, and i'm trying to pulling out all the stops in indonesia. thank you so much for outlining about for us. so we couldn't delay from unicef indonesia bend facility will have more on the economic impacts of indonesia surging kind of cases in the business update straight after the show. now in the u. k. meanwhile, they appear to be entering

a new stage in the pandemic. prime minister barak johnson has laid out plans to end most corona virus restrictions on the 19th of july, and that's despite a nation wide increase in infection rates. his plans include scrapping rules on wearing masks, and on social distancing the opposition labor party is described move as reckless. but with most of the shadow population i vaccinated, mister johnson says people must learn to live with the virus. after nearly 16 months of masks locked down, another restrictions, england is ready to return to normal. and britons prime minister says it's a case of no or never. we must be honest with ourselves that if we can't reopen our society in the next few weeks, when we will be helped by the arrival of summer and by the school holidays, then we massage ourselves. when will we be able to return to normal tanks?

best very much. johnson says england has to balance the risk of corona virus against the effects of locked owns on people's livelihoods and health. both physical and mental. but the leader of the opposition says the prime minister made the decision without waiting for the latest data to throw off all protections. but the site and time when the infection rate is still going all is reckless. and global health officials agree warning governments against relaxing restrictions too quickly. i think overall, we've made a very premature run, rush back to full normality and i think we're going to pay a price for that because we're not there. vaccination. the variance are really there and we have protected the people. but on the streets of london, there was plenty of support for the relaxation with the economy for most people's minds. think it's a joke, track down a lot of cases,

but not very many people seem to be very suffering with it so much. i think the economy and mental health suffering. i'll say i cannot frisson. all right. i think it probably high, there were concerns about people who are who are going to be exposed to voters. yet we've got only the economy. the changes on the 19th of july effect on the england, scotland, wales, and northern ireland are lifting restrictions more slowly. a little bit more storage. breaking news around the world. state korea in north states. media in north korea, say the country is stepping off its pandemic prevention measures. last week, leader kim jones own, issued a cryptic statement warning of a huge crisis in the fight against the virus, and just diving top officials for their pandemic response. john young has not

officially confirmed any cause cases. lisa hong kong say they've uncovered a plot to bomb coats tunnels and the railway network authorities said they seized explosives and arrested 9 people on suspicion of terrorist activities. 6 of the detain suspects the high school students there. s come a year after basing imposed a controversial security law on the former british colony. accord him bella roost, a sentence to opposition politician and victor, barbary coast to 14 years in jail for fraud. the former banker was arrested last year had a disputed presidential election that spoke nation wide demonstrations, maintains his innocence and russian media reporting that de bray has been found in the cum chat, companionship in the east of the country. it's believed to be from a plane that went missing, carrying $28.00 people. radio contact with the pipe was lost earlier on tuesday. to to g. q. stand by the president has ordered around $20000.00 reserve forces to

protect the countries border with afghanistan. the order came after more than a 1000 afghan soldiers abandoned their posts and fled to get down following taliban offensive in the border region. taliban, it's been gaining territory across afghanistan. since international troops started pulling out, leaving many afghans worried about their futures. these afghan people are determined to leave the country. that's why thousands of them have gathered at this passport, office and capital cobble trying to find a way out their future has become too uncertain. as the fact of the us troops withdrawal stuff to unfold from all the districts have fallen. there's not a single district without fighting tale bond have even reached. the chief of police is office and provincial capitals. i've come here to get my passport and get out of

afghanistan. it's not safe here. many embassies have registered a dramatic increase in the number of visa and passport applications. as to tale bon advances, people fear the hard one progress over the past 2 decades. who start rollback women and girls, for example, went from near total exclusion from public life to being able to work and study in mich schools today. now these gains are hanging in the balance. very recently, we have reports that just districts that have been taken over by the taliban. they have already imposed restrictions on women on media. for instance, women are in the high, reportedly not allowed to leave the house without a male chaperone clinics have been closed. there's also reports of media blackout. this is happening despite the tale. bonds promises that the public has nothing to

fear and the situation could intensify. the group has already made significant territorial gains in the past month. as gun forces struggling to hold them off. now our people thinking, if our government cannot to control the situation, maybe the civil war will restart. so that's the main problem. why people trying to go abroad those who couldn't afford a visa, a seeking to leave illegally. many of them are young people. they're about to cross the border to iran before embarking on further journeys, hoping to secure a better future. so here in germany for men have receive prison sentences ranging from 10 to 14 years for their roles. and one of the country's

biggest child abuse rings and the case that shocked the nation, the men drugged and raped children sometimes for days in a garden summer house in the city of munster. the ringleader was also set to a filmed and distributed videos of assaults on his partner's underwrite, son, 50 suspects linked to these crimes that being tried in more trials in other german cities. the w political correspondent had spread to can tell us more. welcome hans, i'm. let's start with the background to this case. well, the 4 men that were convicted today, part of a very extensive ring of child pornography, the ringleader, had to set up a computer server in his cellar and was distributing videos of child abuse us through the internet across germany and possibly internationally. the full men had celebrated a birthday party by abusing 3 young boys filming themselves doing this and

distributing the videos. also convicted today was a woman, the mother of the main perpetrator. it was her garden hudson, which one of this took place and she knew what was going on. so she was convicted as an accessory. there are another handful of people who have already been convicted as part of this investigation, but there are at least 50 other investigations continuing. 30 people are in custody at the moment, so it's going to continue for a long time. the men who were convicted today will serve the sentences and after that that will go into pretty preventive custody because one expects that they might go back to this kind of abuse. so they'll be out of circulation for a very long time. so it's jail tend to 14 years with more case is still to come. are the sentence is likely to satisfy the victims families?

well, this guys, we have to say unfortunately, as the victim families are the perpetrators. these are all the sons of some of the people that committed this abuse or their step children. the sentences are very close to the maximum possible sentences in germany, which is 15 years, anything else beyond murder. but as i said, the perpetrators will be getting into prevent of custody, said they will serve very, very long sentences. victims organizations have been saying that is very important that these investigations are happening that the sentences of being passed. because it raises awareness and society that these abuses are happening. the police are saying that they have a huge mountain of evidence still to be sifted through that i've been spending millions to increase the capacity for investigation. there are 2 special prosecutors dealing only with this case. so we can expect that this will go on for many, many years to come. i thank you for that. the w correspondent, hunts branch of the united states,

where for many migrants becoming a citizen is a dream come true from some code. he comes after years of uncertainty, but us president joe biden has just launched a new strategy aimed at encouraging more us immigrants to pursue a path to citizenship. catalina to moore has been meeting some new americans to find out what citizen, what citizenship means to them. oh, can you see where the house and new americans have been welcomed all over the country within the last week and they have been waiting for at least 5 years for this very moment to happen. this celebration took place among vernon, the home of the 1st us president, george washington, russia. sudan. 39 people from 32 different countries are now american. your for green master will be

u. s. army since 2019. he's waited for 5 years to become an american citizen. the feeder. we see that freedom. just the way i can from where i am right now there's a big difference when it comes to speedo, it comes to respect for human life and comes to human rights. and all of this things, things that are anywhere outside america, but in america, something we enjoy in abundance. so freedom is indeed the big thing. i'm so excited about being an american citizen and was born in vietnam and being a communist countries. us. yeah, i used to be a commented party member and i re now said, so i joined this country and us, they accept me. this country have democracy and freedom. my

daughter made a right 6 years ago with her family from sudan. i am a long time full. come in here. thank you. thank you so much. i am so happy now the number of not really jason's as little to do with the sitting president and has always been that high. it only went down last year because of course it, you're, the tower tells every year encourage you to come back. we're a nation of immigrants and we are stronger as a country, as you, when you bring in a diverse and inclusive crowd from depth, from different countries and cultures. and it just makes us better as a country. and i via the united states was billed on 245 year. we're going to take some sport. we'll start with football and with just for teams last in the european championship, the 1st of the semi finals kicks off tonight. when spain taken its leaf the right

to play in sundays final, both sides endured close games in the last round but a revised light. italy looks like having upper hand the the as hudy's ride home after their quarter final, whenever belgium was reminiscent of the good old days of italian football. historically, italy is expected to challenge for every euros title. the victory of belgium helped ease the fans pain of 2018 when italy didn't even qualify for the world cup. there was reason to celebrate in the streets of rome. once again, i want to thank a coach about the mancini because it's all thanks to him. i expected italy to be strong, but they're better than i expected. the fans will not be able to travel to london to support that team, but there are nearly twice as many italians living in the u. k. a spaniards. still,

mancini sees the fixture as being even thought it was by edison, italy, in spain, or in the semi finals. that means they have deserved it both of their own merits. i think we have a 50 percent chance. pursuant, do you see on, on the, in the previous map, standout player, leonardo spin, it's all at all his achilles tendon and italy, 2nd, full back to get injured at the tournament. a glimmer of hope for spain, who have no such injury concerns, but scraped past switzerland after penalties in the quarter final. they do have the better recent record in this fixture though, spain have lost just twice to italy and the last 13 encounters winning 7. however, given the choice between the 2 countries, dishes, british predicted dog, the psychic sausage was tempted by the serrano but eventually shows the lasagna.

ok, so i think sausages, they don't, the news live from berlin. i'll have more world news at the top of the hour. penicillin has your business updates in just a moment. you'll find more on the web site. that's the w dot. come get the ah, the, the news .

the news, the news, the ah, ah. because he's broken in no time making linda's legal history. he has no intention of stuffing brothers, duffy. how did they all begin? and want me to say, let's try to take all the kick off in 60 minutes on d w. so many problems are thrown out in the world right now. the climate change

in the story. this is life less the wage form just one week. how much left and really get we still have time to i'm doing all this to subscribe for morning is like in december 2019 the european council's new president show me show, embarked on a ground breaking mission. i had a clear joules to make sure of the 1st time this i don't see on the planet by not all you members, state supported and some persuasion is required. so surprising,

going into the very hardest power of god. when the game of diplomatic poker, the tree power plays and alliances behind the scenes of the summit starts august 5th on d, w. the me the, the innovation government calls on gas companies to grab about production of oxygen shortages. the surgeon death says mostly covert cases, molding quadruple. the crisis will also spill economic misery. more french spring industrial production back home, i think, is when the pandemic hit and shut down global supply chains. and when champagne, not champagne, when it's in russia and you rush and labeling, laurie's causing tempers to.
