christine zoom is now behind bozza. that comes quite as surprising as he had refused to turn himself in and tried to suspend his arrest order using all available legal channels. that's right, i leave him a lot. they should him writing a letter to the court that gave them the sentence, asking them to have him not go to prison. but the walls looked in on him because yesterday we could already see a massive police contingency. a messing about a 40 minute drive away from here. that's the new and big town. 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 the humiliation or you can had himself. so shortly after 11 pm on wednesday night we saw a convoy racing out of his compound,

emitted thought 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 exposed few hours at that correctional facility, it is rated to 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 his 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, our really asking all kinds of political analysts in this country about whether or not at the present one afford mr. food a pardon? because that is looking like the only way out of jail for the minutes. the court

that he had applied with him 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 had it himself in. so at the minute it does look like he is going to remain behind gauze unless president obama phone that decides to give him the ottoman bear in mind. that does come with huge political pos, because a lot of africans would like to see mister behind bod, because he has been found guilty of being contempt of court and refusing to make it to comply with the orders to go and questions about corruption during his opinion. and with dw correspond, christine manuel in durban, thinking to me a little earlier and have the police say they've killed 4 people entertained 2 others after a gun battle with suspects in the assassination of president. driven out, louise officials say they belong to a group of professional commanders and foreign mercenaries who killed the president

who happened to be with him the evening of the attack. sorry. but monday will be last year that we have for people to stay calm. must we appeal to the intelligence of haitians? it's difficult time. no man, the president, no ease is. a fascination comes amid rising gang violence and growing humanitarian crisis. food and fuels 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 stable. for the past 2 years, marquise had been ruling haiti by decree after the country failed to hold elections . a result of political gridlock and unrest. the opposition called from o e 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

the measure is there to protect children has what european commission president on the line had to say about the needle. the disconnect stared homosexual law with homosexuality and gender reassignment on par with pornography. just because it's, it uses the protection of the children to which we are all committed as an excuse to really discriminate against people because of their sexual orientation. yet this law is disgraceful. that is gently the w correspondent, funding official, is in the hungarian capital, budapest, and i also how l g b t q people view the new law. actually you would consider hungry is a free country compared to so many countries worldwide that have been reporting from that. i've lived in and reported from but then you zoom in on this particular issue right now. you will find that a lot of people who live in hungary,

who feel increasingly alien ages who feel would also free, who don't feel that they can express their opinion or live their lives freely being part of the non has or sexual community. and that's exactly what i've experienced. i was trying to talk to people on camera about this issue, who are either transgender or almost actual i would have realized that even the people who are willing to talk about the topic you talk, it's very yes to get for that. they are being listened to and they can express their anger about controversial law that they can talk about their fear of discrimination and stigma that they think they feel is going to through the stipulates. but once the interview finished, they never made it to. because if people started to cry and say, actually i don't want to write knowing hungary, this is not the time because i'm scared and i don't want to be judged. so this is a very shocking experience. actually to me, grow, grew up to, in hungry, in hungry my early childhood to see that people who are actually want to speak

about this very important issue. did himself say no, they don't want to in the, in fact, rather want to leap hungry than stay here and take to the streets. w correspondence for shot in budapest, police in the netherlands, have arrested 2 suspects over the shooting of prominent investigative journalist, peter gave the manager in court on friday. authorities are investigating links to deliveries as reporting on a major criminal gang. european leaders say his shooting was also an attack on freedom of the press. peter to freeze 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
