before a deadline to turn himself in expired. prison authorities saved him. it is now in a correctional center in his home problem. his family and support is hopeful, his sentence will be overturned in the coming days. in 1985, we'll be talking to our correspondent about that in just a moment. but 1st, let's go to haiti where police say they've killed 4 people entertained 2 others after a gun battle with suspect and the assassination of president jovan l. o. e. c. officials say they belong to a group of professional commanders and foreign mercenaries who killed the president . in his home, while posing as us special agents, world leaders have condemned the killing, which deepens the political crisis in the caribbean nation. the un security council is due to discuss the situation later today. this damn is moving the remains of haiti slain president jovan l moines. from his private residence where he was killed outside the villa,

investigators scoured for evidence and leads as to who may have planned and carried out. the assassination gunman rated moiz this home in the early hours of wednesday . his wife was critically wounded and is being treated at a hospital in florida. the government has declared an emergency within the city, declaring it that we have decided to declare a state of siege in the entire country. and i share the sorrow of the president's wife, who happened to be with him the evening of the attack. my day will be last year that we have for people to stay calm. my fat. we appeal to the hotel. joseph haitians, it's difficult time. now monday says that the president moines is assassination. comes amid rising gang violence and a growing humanitarian crisis. food and fuel shortages,

as well as rising inflation are making life extremely difficult for the people of haiti. one of the poorest countries in the world. and the political situation has been far from stables for the past 2 years, moiz had been ruling haiti by decree after the country failed to hold elections, a result of political gridlock and unrest. the opposition calls for more. is it a step down insisting his term had legally expired? international leaders condemned the assassination and express support for haiti's interim government. we urge haitian authorities to bring those responsible to justice. the united states calls on all political parties, civil society groups, and stakeholders. to echo what we've heard from acting prime minister club joseph, call for com and to work together in the wake of this tragedy. and to ensure peace in democratic governance. for now the streets in the capital port crowns remain

quiet. but there is a lingering fear that the crisis could plunge into further chaos and uncertainty. okay, let's return to our top story. now. that format, south african president, jacob's duma has begun a 15 month sentence for content join now by d. w. correspond christine manuel in devon. christine zoom is now behind bozza that comes quite a surprise thing as he had refused to turn himself in and tried to suspend his arrest order using all available legal channels. that's right, so i'll leave in a last ditch attempt writing a letter to the court that gave them the sentence, asking them to have him not go to prison, but the war closing in on him. because yesterday we could already see a massive police contingency, a messing about a 40 minute drive away from him. that's the new is big time. it was pretty clear that they were moving in to carry out the rest. or as we understand that the former

president was given to option the police will come in and arrest you. and of course, that comes with loads of humiliation or you can had himself so shortly after 11 pm on wednesday nights that we saw a convoy racing out of his compound minutes after that it was confirmed that that was indeed taking wolf to escort prison to hand himself in so that much came as a surprise because people were expecting some kind of a sample given at the defiance talk that he had expressed on sunday when he addressed the supporters as well as the media. but what we know, if he has been here for a few hours at that correctional facility, it is the rate of the new one as we understand it. and he is going to be $500.00 inmates there. he's considered to be a low risk inmates because of his age, but he will be given a single cell. and of course he's medical needs attended to as well. how likely do

you think it is that his sentence will be overturned? well, that's the interesting thing, right? now, because the local praise, i'll really asking all kinds of political analysts in this country about whether or not the president will afford mr. food a part. and because that is looking like the only way out of jail for the minutes, the court and he had a nice to have done tomorrow morning on friday to see whether it was going to stop the police from arresting him. it doesn't appear that that will do that now, especially because you've handed himself in. so estimate it. it does look like he is going to remain behind gauze unless president obama pulls that decides to give him the ottoman bear in mind. that does come a huge political cost because a lot of other african would like to see mr. too much behind boss. because he has been found guilty of being contempt of court and refusing to make it to comply with the orders to go and answer questions about corruption during his opinion.

obviously it happened late last night in the early hours of this morning. so, you know, people will just be waking up to this news or many people, how, how have people been reacting though so far? so rebecca, i would actually tell you that a lot of people stayed out because people will waiting for midnight to see what the police will do. this will, people are expecting that the police would move in on him, so not about ever went to bed knowing that the whole president is sitting at night in prison. so a lot of people are welcoming this as a victory apple. the rule of law because it was starting to be likenesses in my head once again managed to is the aide, the rule of law. and so a lot of people thrilled about the fact that the justice system has prevailed back when a court give the directive that has to be followed and it doesn't matter who you are. but of course it is a little bit of sweet moments. yeah, i mean, we are about liberal rates this country because we will spend time in jail fighting for this country freedom. so some people are looking at this as a sad day for this democracy that a former president,

somebody who was so pivotal in bringing about democracy goes country by itself in a prison cell. phone will be in contempt of court and disrespecting at the institution of the very democracy, rebecca or christine, thanks very much for that analysis. stayed at christine manuel in devon. let's take a look now at some of the other stories making news around the world. doesn't the people have held the vigil for the victims of a building collapsed in miami, in florida. it took place after already officially ended, the search of survivors continued scouring the rebel for bodies. so 54 people have been confirmed did 86 others are still unaccounted for. the apartment tower collapse nearly 2 weeks ago. authorities say a fire has been brought under control it by main air pull down for an explosion on a container ship. no deaths or injuries have been reported in the black devil alley ward. the busiest in the middle east,

the explosion could be felt 25 kilometers away. the way it is building a barrier on an order with bella. ruth, don't people crossing illegally, miscellaneous prime minister uses bella, ruth of offering migrate flights amidst and allowing them to enter her country in retaliation for you. thanks. and both countries have expelled each other's diplomats, this week. and england are through to the final of the european championship after defeating denmark, in the 2nd semi final, at wembley stadium in london. after the game finished $11.00 and regulation, captain harry came school, the winner for england an extra time. they faced italy on sunday, in their 1st major final since winning the world comp. in 1966 for england sons at london to fog or square, it was a native tension and release the end of next to the same heralded their 1st final and 55 years. typically,

we can see only one destination where the creepy. 6 0 boy was coming, i already came extra time winner was decisive and spot a special moment for his proud coach. i think we deserved it. and yeah, for our country. i mean, i've never had this new wembley like that ever. and to be able to share that with everybody and share it with everybody at home is very special in copenhagen, the air finally went out of the danish funds balloon. after a hugely emotional campaign, their team had opened the scoring with their mission to win the tournament. for stricken teammate christian ericsson ultimately run out of steam macklin, linda felt the whole nation has supported us. it's been emotional for the entire

team. and it's amazing to be danish and to be part of the school. but right now we're all disappointed and we wanted to make that final become well. so this is a great, great disappointment though the nor so. so food nissans daughter was going to but the night belonged to england, whose funds parted like it was 1966. to make sure you do 2020 come home rather than going to rome, england have to overcome it. it's really team unbeaten and it's last $33.00 matches . but you can be sure their funds are confident do just that. i am no room that certainly want england will be hoping for. joining me to discuss what was the historic evening for english people is mark meadows from d. w. sports mot. quite a controversial winning goal there. what did you make of the game was very tense, a semi finals always. we can maybe have a look now at some of the action and what you free. what happened in passivity?

the 1st go, the tone when denmark league, great, free kick from dams. god think jordan pick the should maybe of say day. but this is the new england they showed brazilians. unlike the previous $370.00 finals, that major tournaments where they went out because it was known go, there's been more wrong goals in this tournament than all european championships put together 11. then how do you gain then goals on the rebound from a penalty? was it a penalty every day and will tell? you know, most neutrals will tell you no, but we do have the video assistant memory these days and he said it was a penalty just like the referees so hang on fans, we'll take that. yeah. first major final. 1960, i will take that now they're going to face italy in the final. they have the home advantage of playing it, wembley, can england go all the way? you've got a thing with 60000 fans behind you and that sort of atmosphere that we saw last night repeated the england, the favorites that the 2 best defenses in the torment, england, and now considered wrong. italy of considered

a couple. so it's going to be a very, very tight affair, and in fans are amazed that they avoid penalties. any final, i think, is a big chance. they're going to get penalties in the final. now we'll have to wait and say, but i think for many of them, fans just getting to a final is that in some ways as important as winning it because they just want that feeling of being in a fine on the razzmatazz around it because it hasn't happened for so long. i've lost my head. i wasn't the last time in the we're in a major tournament final. it's in added home to which makes it all the more excited . now the danish football fairytale has come to an end, but they had an amazing tournament. what will they take away? think so. i mean, we've talked a lot about christine ericsson, but let's talk about the play of actually played the most of this torment. and then last, the 1st 2 games and they've done so well, they're going to be a real 4th in cast out at the wilcox some great players and nothing. you know, the got play, you play the buffalo nor bruce your dorman big clubs in italy. that is a top side. all right, well we better leave them on matter. thanks very much. you're watching
