[000:00:00;00] ah ah, was who's this is data but he needs live from the lin, south africa. the former president is behind bars jacobs and begins a 15 month prison sentence. the contempt of court after ending a stand off and having himself into authorities over night. also coming up security forces in haiti kill several suspects in the assassination of the countries. president estate of aged declared the gunman murdered german alloy in his own home

. the police arrest tooth aspects of the shooting of criminal journalists hated the re, is fighting for his life. in hospital after being attacked on a street and amsterdam crossed england bay, denmark, and extra time to make the hero 2020 final the jubilant fans, takeover the streets of london to celebrate their team reaching a major tournament. finally, for the 1st time in 55 years ah hello, i am rebecca rid his welcome to the program. south africa that former president jacob's duma has begun setting a 15 month prison sentence, the contempt of court. after having himself into police, he was given the sentence last week, but had attempted to evade arrest pending legal appeals. in the early hours of thursday, though,

a convoy of vehicles believed to be carrying the ex president left his compound shortly before a deadline to turn himself in expired prison authorities save him. it is now in a correctional center. in his home province is contempt to court, charged with the failing to show up to a corruption inquiry. he's been accused of corrupt behavior during his time in public life. join out by date of the correspondent christine manuel in deb and christine dumas now behind bozza. that comes quite a surprise thing as he had refused to turn himself in and tried to suspend his arrest. or do you think all available legal channels? that's right, so i'll leave in a last ditch attempt writing a letter to the court that gave him the sentence, asking them to have him not go to prison, but the walls were closing in on him. because yesterday we could already see a massive police contingency amassing about a 40 kilometers drive away from here. so that's the new

a big con. 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 that denise 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 night, we saw a convoy racing out of his compound in minutes water that it was confirmed that that was indeed taking wolf to cause 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 a few hours at that correctional facility, it is rated to the new one, as we understand is, and he is going to be $500.00 inmates there. he's considered to be a low risk inmates because of his age. so 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 pardon? because that is looking like the only way out of jail for the minutes. the open yet a night. we're going to have done it 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 at the minute 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 in huge political pos because a lot of father quickens would like to see much behind bars because he has been found guilty of being contempt of court and refusing advocates to comply with the

orders to go and on. questions about corruption during his opinion. obviously it happened late last night and 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 those 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 were expecting that the police would move in on him, so not about ever went to bed knowing that the whole president is fitting for it's neither christian. 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 of course, give the direct says 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, this is we were, has spent time in jail fighting for this country freedom. so some people are

looking at this as a sad day for this democracy. that a for the president, somebody who was so pivotal in bringing about democracy whose country finds itself into prison. so for, for being a 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 and devon in haiti, police say they've killed 4 people entertained 2 others after a gun battle with suspect assassination of president. jovan al maurice 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, old ladies have condemned the killing, which depends the political crisis in the caribbean nation. the un security council is due to discuss the situation later today. miss van is moving the remains of haiti lane president jovan l. moines from his private residence

where he was killed. outside the villa investigator scoured for evidence and leaves as to who may have planned and carried out. the assassination. gunman rated moiz his 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, but they don't declare it that we have decided to declare a state of siege in the entire country. but i share the sorrow of the president's wife, who happened to be with him the evening of the attack. august, monday will be last year that we have for people to stay calm. must we appeal to the hotel, joseph haitians? it's difficult time. now mind, if you see as president moiz 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 called for more is it to 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 crowds remain quiet, but there is a lingering fear that the crisis could plunge into further chaos and uncertainty in watching database, the news still to come virtually impossible without climate change. scientists deliver worrying findings on north america's record setting, hate wave, saying we may have crossed the global warming tipping point coming out at 1st. let's take a look at some of the other stories making news around the world. dozens of people have held a visual for the victims of a building collapse, named miami, and florida. it took place after authorities officially ended the search for survivors. l continues gathering the rebel for bodies so far 54 people have been confirmed dead. 86 others still on accounted for. the apartment tower collapsed nearly 2 weeks ago. israeli forces have demolished the home of a palestinian man accused of carrying out a shooting in the west bank and israeli court rejected

a petition by his strange wife who lived with their children. the drive by shooting in may killed one person and wounded 2 others miscellaneous, building a barrier on its order. we found a route to stop. people crossing illegally, miscellaneous prime minister accuses bellows of offering migrants flights to mid scan, allowing them to enter her country in retaliation for a youth sanctions. both countries have expelled each other's diplomats. this week, police in the netherlands have arrested to suspect over the shooting of prominent investigative journalist, painted a raise. the manager in court on friday, authorities are investigating, investigating links to dive raises, reporting on a major criminal gang. european latest say his shooting was also an attack on freedom of the press. peter de fries is known for exposing the dutch underworld, sometimes digging up evidence to help bring justice to victims and speaking out for survivors. now,

the investigative journalist live in an amsterdam hospital fighting for his life. this surveillance footage shows devries walking down a nearly empty street moments before he was attacked. a gunman shot him up to 5 times, including once in the head, people who had come to the scene of the crime, to lay flowers, to think of his contribution to dutch society, and to pray for his recovery. to think of all the subjects in the past years and his opinion, he's his work contributed to society. you can think him a ways so i just hope that everything's going to be fine with him. i hope it will survive this. so because he's a very important person in holland and journalism, the fries had been recently involved in the trial of the alleged leader of a criminal organization,

prosecutors called and boiled killing machine. a 64 year old had long been considered a possible target of the criminals. he reported on 2 suspects are in custody and connection with his shooting. they are scheduled to be in court on friday. a 3rd man was detained, but later released, police have not revealed a possible motive. a journalist, politicians, and citizens believe the attack is aimed at balancing reporters. we also think that journalists who might be targeted by organized crime must be protected. it's very important, and it is very important that this murder attempt does not have a chilling effect on journalists working on criminal affairs. netherland rarely sees violent crimes, but some say the apparent targeting of the fries has shaken their sense of security . he got his max and as in amsterdam, following this story forth,

he joins us now. max, is there any update on period of reasons? condition, what are you hearing there? right. so we know that if he is in hospital and he's being heavily guarded by police due to security reasons, also due to security, security reasons, most likely there's not much information coming out of the house. we know from reports that he was struck here in the street where i'm, i'm standing here right now. he was apparently shot on the head. so he's, we have reason to believe he's in a very critical condition. and this is also what something a fellow journalist, colleague the chief of after we're pick that if he's was attending a talk show, just just in the hour before he was shot here, said, reiterated that peter. if he's isn't hostile and he is still fighting for his life, what about the suspects? what more do we know about them and their motives? well, the 2 men were apprehended by police were arrested in the hours after the shooting . they were travelling in

a car outside of amsterdam had left the city approximately 40 kilometers from the city when they were pulled over by police. i wanted the suspect, the 35 year old polish citizen. the other is a 21 year old dutch citizen. one of them is believed to be the shooters. the police have subsequently searched our apartment, they came up with hard drives. they also came up with ammunition. and another interesting piece of information here is that the posted as an apparently was in police custody prior to the shooting a week and week before this. it's not clear under what circumstances as to their motives. also a lot is still in the unknown. peter fees is the top criminal journalist here in the netherlands. he's been shining a light on the criminal underworld for the last 40 years. so he has a lot of enemies. but still, it's not yet clear whether or not or how this work influenced this attempt on his life. what's the reaction been like there in amsterdam was a jury was being shot in

a western democracy or in western europe in the busy city. there's something that doesn't happen every day. so naturally the content of the nation and, and the city was or is still in shock, as you can see behind me. this is the, this is the area of the spot where that if he's was shot the day before yesterday and the people people came by to pay their respects, lay down flowers to light candles. there was pretty heart warming point into a personal messages to pay that if he's for him to get better. so he, for many people here, he's seen as a hero who they idolized and there's a lot of wishes for him to get better soon. or next. thank you, max and or enough to them. the scientists say the recent hate wave wage set records across north america would have been almost impossible without climate change. parts of canada rates, nearly 50 degrees celsius and high temperatures, have led to hundreds of deaths. europe 2 is experiencing one of the hardest summons

on record climate research and say it's assigned. global warming may have passed a critical tipping point. living near an outdoor swimming pool during a heat wave is a fortunate thing. the temperature stored so high in alberta, canada that can be melted. it's random events. it's very seldom un servatius. you don't see this or the last 100 or maybe 150 years and there's no tell your plan at the evidence from from tree rings from other archives that supports the next few in the past such, he may be a freak event, but what role does human activities on earth play in climate change. so the human activities with release of greenhouse gas feel to me, thing and so on, are leading to increase of these greenhouse gases. and we'll see here. and they

also prevent the heat from, from the earth, leaving the atmosphere. so if collecting the heat and it leads to work to warm him, this warming was modeled by scientists in the us, canada, and europe for a world whether attribution report, researchers say, hitting nearly 50 degrees in western north america is virtually impossible without climate change caused by people, they estimate this global warming made the heat wave a 150 times. more likely. this is not a british columbia problem. it's not a candidate problem. it is a global challenge, and we all need to have citizens of the world coming together as we have quite frankly, to address a global pandemic. there is a lot of uncertainty in the data covering the frequency of heat waves as the phenomenon was so extreme. but something of the scientific community does agree on is that climate change played

a big role of mom joined by database environment reporter agit, nor engine. thanks so much for coming in. and this is an unprecedented, hey wave in the pacific northwest with unrelenting, i mean so many destiny, 500 hate related tests in british columbia alone putting, putting that into perspective. that's more than covered, for instance in the same area is the gravity of this situation sort of thinking in . yes, i mean it completely to the met the climate change or something happening in the future for our grandchildren or something that happened very far away in kind of poor countries. and this is the usa and scientist telling us that the devastating he wave that we've just seen on our screens was made a 150 times more likely because of climate change. and about 2 degrees celsius hotter and up from the study published this morning by the world, whether attribution initiative and what they found that the record breaking temperatures would been virtually impossible without climate change. how is the

social and how they come to this conclusion? so i mean, what scientists already knew, and i'm quoting from the report, every heat wave occurring today if made more likely and more intense by climate change. and this is simple physics, essentially like we very, we verify this with other leading climate scientists. but essentially, every time i've last couple of 100 years when people may be in rich countries have burned fossil fuel, they've released gases that kind of act like a greenhouse around the earth. and what these do they trap the heat from the sun from sunlight. and they raise the global temperatures and what this means kind of a natural weatherly weather falls within a distribution. you get cold weather, you get hot weather. but what's that that shift the entire distribution higher? and so what you end up with is that the, the extreme, that the very top end, you see temperatures like the 49.6 degrees celsius. we saw in british columbia that just completely blown past well past what we used to and can handle really, i mean, that's extraordinarily hot and i'm is trailyn. so this may seem like an obvious

question, but why is this study such a big deal? so the 2 things really 1st is that scientists have gotten much better at attributing individual weather events to global warming to climate change. quickly . i mean, so within the space of a week we went from seeing a wildfire wipe out the village of latin in british columbia. to scientific being able to say, quantitatively, to what extent climate change affected the heat wave but kind of drive very below the suffering. the 2nd reason, which is made more important, and i mean on the same day that listen group is heat, hit, record temperature record 2 days before the wildfire. another study published in the journal nature found that climate law suits on keeping up with late of climate science. and what this means is that we can hold people accountable for kind of the damage that we're seeing much better if scientists can quickly attribute that quickly and confidently attribute the extent to which global woman played a role in an individual extreme weather event. do using this study,

this weather event in fact will lead to any real change. yeah, you can already see people waking up. you can see politicians taking notice and talking about the effects of climate change much strongly. we know public awareness around extreme weather events does change and people's relation to time and to actually make change come out of business on a meaningful scale and have a whole host of thing that they would need to happen to actively combat the effects of global one. to stop, he was coming longer, stronger and more frequent. right. angie, thanks very much. w environment reporter, engine and engine. to more news headlines for you now. authorities say of 5 fame brought under control at devise 9 port after an explosion on a container ship. no death or injuries has been reported in the black. general allie pulled the busiest in the middle east. the explosion could be felt 25

kilometers away. in brazil, a former health ministry official has been arrested, won't testifying in front of a sentence commission for that her d. s. was accused of asking for dr. bribes from a company negotiating the style of cobit 19 vaccines. the chair of the enquiry ordered his arrest on challenges of perjury. denies any wrong doing england through to the final of the european championship, instead of hating denmark in the 2nd semi final at wembley stadium in london. after the game finished at $11.00 in regulation, captain harry came to school when the england in extra time, they faced italy on sunday in their 1st major final since winning the world comp in $900.00. $66.00 for england funds at london to fog square. it was a native tension. yeah. relief the end of extra time, harold did their 1st final and 55 years. typically we can see only

one destination for the thing it. 6 was pulling up, who are you coming? right. how do you gain 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 not heard 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. and copenhagen, the air finally went to 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 of 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 this school. but right now we're all disappointed and we wanted to make that final become well. so this is a great, great disappointment. so so food need tons, daughter was going to but the night belonged to england. whose fun parted like it was 1966. to make sure you do 2020 come home rather than going to room england have to overcome it. it's really team unbeaten. and it's last 33 matches, but you can be sure their funds are confident that they do just that i'm not wrong that certainly what england will be hoping for. joining me to discuss what was the historic evening for english people is mark meadows from dw sport mot . quite a controversial winning goal there. what did you make as 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 because we did the 1st go the tone when denmark league, great,

free kicked from dams, gun. think john pick the she may be of se did, but this is the new england they showed resilience. unlike the previous 3 finals that major tournaments where they went out, the equalize, it was known goal had been more wrong goals in this tournament than all european championships. put together $1100.00 k and then schools on the rebound from a penalty was the the penalty every day will tell. you know, most neutrals will tell you no, but we do have the video assistant referee these days. and he said it was a penalty just like the referee. so sometimes we'll take that. yeah. first major final since 1966. i'm bet 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 or 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 inland of the favorites that the 2 best defenses in the torment, england, and now considered won't italy have considered the couple? so it's going to be a very, very tight affair,

and fans are amazed that they have all the 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 friends just getting to a final is that seen some ways as important as winning it because they just want not feeling of being in a fine on the razzmatazz around it because it hasn't happened for so long. i've lost my hair. i wasn't going the last time in the we're in a major tournament final. it's in at home too, 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 tournament and they lost the 1st 2 games and they've done so well. they're going to be a real 4th in cast out at the will. got some great players in that. you know, they've got players. you play the boss a loaner, bruce, you're doormen big clubs in italy. that is a top side. all right, well we better leave it there, mom. matter, thanks very much. this is data,
