not scared of doing of boeing to jail for my belief it will not be for the 1st time, i will be a prisoner of conscience. the former president who was in office for 9 years, has been at the center of corruption allegations surrounding his time in public life. the contempt of court charge came as a result of him refusing to appear at a corruption commission. he's called the process a political conspiracy but authorities have accused him of misappropriating funds and fraud. some of the charges date back 20 years. the on monday, the constitutional call is due to consider an application by xena for the cancellation of his prison sentence. for honor joined by our correspondent christine mon,
12:04 pm
for who standing in front of escort prison where jacob zoom is incarcerated. christine zoom is actually behind bars. last week we spoke about this, it wasn't clear that this would actually happen. does it come as a surprise? audi came down to the last minute. really. it would have been a classic showdown. you had police essentially closing in on his homestead, approaching. and then a few minutes before midnight, you had this convoy racing out of his compound. and we understood later that it was making its way to meet police services, who then escorted him to this facility. certainly having listened to him at the weekend talking to support as he sounded very defiant, that he wasn't going to surrender himself. so it did come as a big surprise late last night when it was clear that he indeed had handed himself over to the police. here,
12:05 pm
because he knew how likely is it that his offenses will be overturned. well, this is the thing we've got to look out for what that supreme court or the constitutional court does. on monday, of course, he's gone to the court and he thought that it rescind it's ruling as well as it's 15 month jail centers. i've given him the court has agreed to listen to that. we are expecting him to make arguments against the sentencing, mitigating arguments. for example, his age. he has court, he's imprisonment, he's likened to a death sentence saying that because we're in the height of a pandemic here. he's not vaccinated. he has existing medical conditions that he shouldn't be in a prison, but of course he is going to be making this argument to the very court that new one of those factors when it gave him that sentence anyway. so let's watch what the court does. on monday, get hot and we'll have a better sense of that. but a lot of people believe that he is going to spend a considerable amount of time here before he's eligible for any for pearl or anything of the sort. because we just heard so much in this report,
12:06 pm
talking about going to prison for his beliefs being a prisoner of conscience. he's trying to frame this as being as if he was a political prisoner or south africans buying that. well this is a thing, zoom, the support is believe that he is being politically persecuted to make no mistake. here's the rendering here. he supposed to, people made it very clear that this is not an admission of guilt, but this is somebody who wants to comply with the constitution that comes of fries to many people because you've had many opportunities to comply with the law here. and of course, he's not done that so a lot of people aren't buying that. a lot of people believe that mr. wilma is way he deserves to be at the present time because they're in s code in south africa. thank you very much. a controversial new law has now come into effect in hungary, despite condemnation from the european union law bands, portrayals of homosexuality or gender change in school. educational materials or tv
12:07 pm
shows ames of on the 80 critic say it discriminates against l. g b to q people. the appeal commission has urged congress to repeal the law, but due to past says you efforts to overturn it will be in vain insisting the measures there to protect children. and here's what european commission president left frontline had to say about the new law. this is because that's their homosexual law for homosexuality and gender reassignment on par with pornography because it, 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 transition on so as this new law being viewed in hungary itself, c. w correspondent, funding for josh sent this report from the capital view to pest. a huge rainbow
12:08 pm
hard here behind me has been set up 10 meter high. it's a symbol right here in front of the parliament for this controversial algebra law was passed me june and came into a fact to day. now you would thing that people here in hungary collectively refused to accept this law. but actually that this is not the case, the society is actually quite split over the slot and it's not as easy to say that everyone who supports the government supports the law, and people who oppose the government will oppose to no, no. in fact, regardless of party affiliation, you will find people in the street seeing that they actually agree with this law because they themselves do not understand what's transgender alive or homosexual life is about. so why should their children under 18, learn about this? well, people who actually support that, the slow as being scratched and taken off the agenda, he altogether say it is very important to educate children before they turn 18.
12:09 pm
that life is very diverse. and it's not just about being heterosexual. but there are different ways of experiencing and living sexuality. this action right behind me of this symbol, this heart is very unlikely to be the last symbol to protest this law as hungary is gearing up for all actions next year. funny, such are reporting that climate researches say the well may have passed a critical global global warming threshold as a heat wave sets records across north america. parts of canada reached nearly 50 degrees celsius and high temperatures of lead to hundreds of death. europe two's experiencing one of its hottest summers on record living near an outdoor swimming pool during a heat wave is a fortunate thing. the temperature, swords so high in alberta, canada that can be melted. it's random events, it's very seldom un servatius. you don't see this over the last 100 or maybe
12:10 pm
150 years, but there's no pending climate evidence from from tree rings from other archives that would support us. the next few in the past. such, he may be a free event, but what role do human activities on earth play in climate change? so the human activities with a release of greenhouse gas feel to me, thing and so on, are leading to increase of these greenhouse gas? yes, sir. and they also prevent the heat from, from the earth is leaving the atmosphere so it's collecting the heat and it leads to where 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
12:11 pm
climate change caused by people. they estimate this global warming made the heat wave a $150.00 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 the scientific community does agree on is that climate change played a big role. i'm not joined by dr. shock. philip. actually co lead of this study and research at the royal netherland metro. logical institute. shocking how confident we heard that this is a freak event. but how confident are you that humanity has, has a hand in this? well, it's totally clear without human and used climate change. this event would have
12:12 pm
been virtually impossible. that's being made, at least sorry, i mean made at least a 150 times more likely than it was in the past. and because it's not even really very extreme, you're going to mentioned that in the past without climate change, it would have been virtually impossible. so although we don't know all mechanism that played a role in here, we need to truly investigate death. we do now that's climate change, thus played roam. but in canada, in the past 5 days have been nearly 500 death related to the strain heat was more than from covert in the con. you think the gravity of what's happening is slowly thinking in yes, i think so. the problem is with cold waves or flooding and rebalance. number of that is also immediately tangible. and when he waves, they often come in quietly. so the fact that we already see so many from this heat
12:13 pm
weight is really amazing. and i'm sure that later there will be more data available and this number will go up. but i think this is really a warning and the people are getting more aware of it talking about data you'll study, predicts more heat, ways like this in the future. and as a need to adapt to that. buildings for example, can not be done without raising carbon emissions even further. i think we have to go to way so we both have to stop or reduce emitting carbon. but we also have to have not pathway, which we just make heat lamps and take care of people that are hulu room. it's really helps when you have a glimpse. and for instance, just let your neighbor know that they should actually drink enough water to
12:14 pm
pretend hydration, and also to cooling central and more conditioning. that's, that's also needed even if we stop anything, carbon nitrogen. so what do your findings mean for the rest of the world? well, we know now does section extreme heat wave can actually occur even with this record broken by 5 degrees. so last year or 2 years ago, we were even shocked that in the record was broken by 1.8 degrees. and this is know 5 degrees. so i think we should take it as a warning that this extreme tv can actually happened already today. do you think this is a business, the top level that we're hearing for nearly 50 degrees in canada? can it get worse? can get even hotter? well we have to investigate that. we just don't know. we actually thought this was not possible that just happened. so yeah,
12:15 pm
we still have to investigate whether it's just a very unusual depends and about protection or other mini energies start to play a role and we did pos to certain threshold, but that's really need some more time. and we can't do that in just less than 10 days. so that's me a couple of months before we can get an answer to that dr. south. phillip, thank you very much for your time. let's take a look at some more stories from around the world. police in haiti, half kills for suspect that arrested 2 people following the nation of the country. president, sylvia now marie, was sharp dated his private residence near the capital of france. official say the attack has belong to a group of professionals commandos and foreign mercenaries who killed the president while posing as us special agent. is ready for us,

12:17 pm
known for exposing the dutch underworld sometimes digging up evidence to help bring justice to victims. and speaking out for survivors. now, the investigative journalists live in an amsterdam hospital fighting for his life by check. this surveillance footage shows de vries 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 have come to the scene of the crime, to lay flower, to think of his contribution to dutch society, and to pray for his recovery. to think of all this subject in the past years and his opinion, he's his work contributed for society. you can think him away so. so i just hope that everything's going to be fine with him. i hope that you will survive this. so because he's
12:18 pm
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 silencing 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
12:19 pm
sees violent crimes, but some say the apparent targeting of the fries has shaken their sense of security . w, as much thunder is an amsterdam the following, this story for us, a max pay us an update on the phrase condition. what are you hearing that? right, so what we know is that if he's in the hospital with strong security measures in place, also due to that fact, there's very little information coming coming out. what we do know is that he sustained a very harsh injuries, a bullet to the head from from i've witnessed reports from, from what we know. and according to a journalist, colleague of police, the, the chief of, of the, the television station where photography prior to the should. he attended a type talk show. he said that if he is still fighting to for his life. so what do we know about this, this criminal gang who is supposedly behind visits?
12:20 pm
right. it's quite early to determine whether or not the criminal gang was involved in this assassination. and what we do know is that 2 men were arrested by police. they were traveling in a car outside the city, 60 kilometers from from amsterdam, 35 year old posted isn't in a 21 year old dutch citizen at the police took him into custody. the subsequent search apartments came up with hard drives and ammunition as to their motives. we don't know yet what exactly what could have could have been their motives. peter fees is the leading crime journalist in the netherlands. he has been shining a light on the criminal underworld the past 4 decades. so he has a lot of enemies and also some people suspect maybe his, his, his connection to a criminal case against a drug lord could play a role here he was. or he is actually acting as a counselor for the key with this in a case against them, against a, a drug who is incarcerated here in the netherlands at the moment. but as the
12:21 pm
justice minister said, when he, when he spoke to press spoke to us yesterday here at the scene, it's too early to determine what exactly might have caused this, this attack. we have to wait for police work to be done and for investigators to come up with results. and that's why seeing people eng flowers behind you there. what's the reaction then in the netherlands about this attack? right, as you, as you will know, the netherlands in amsterdam, and particularly, god is one of the most liberal societies in the world. and a journalist being being shot at being, being a, having an experiencing assassination attempts in any democracy worldwide would probably shake a nation to its core. and so it isn't kind of surprised that many people came here, as you can see behind be came to pay their respects to pay that if it's late on flowers, to light candles, to, to, to leave a really hard warming and appointed messages. i'm wishing, wishing him a wishing him a speedy recovery and to be able to go back to what he's,
12:22 pm
what he's really good at very soon exposing in injustice and fighting. try me on my son the in amsterdam. the 1st thank you max england through to the final of european championship after defeating denmark at wembley stadium in london after the game finished 11 in regulation. traps and how canes go the winter for england an extra time on sunday they'll face italy in their 1st major final since winning the world cup in 1900. $66.00 for england funds at london fog square. it was a native tension and release the end of extra time, harold did their 1st final and 55 years. typically we can see only one destination where the creepy.
12:23 pm
6 was coming right, how many canes, extra time winner was decisive and spot a special moment for his proud coach? i think we deserve that. and 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. maplin lender 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, but then 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. so,
12:24 pm
so food needs items, daughter in store school, her but the night belonged to england, whose funds parted like it was 966. to make sure you're 2020 come home rather than going to rome, england have to overcome and 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 sort of evening for england. fans that mark meadows is with me from dw sports, also an englishman. so as a disclaimer, after it was a controversial winning goal though, right. what do you make of that? well, we'll come to, why don't we, why do we talk through the game? and then i'll say my point of view, but yeah, it was a bit soft. we can have a look at how the game actually pan down. now. it was tight, my goals, and we finally denmark to lead the 1st goal, england, the conceited in the, in the don't from dams got great,
12:25 pm
kicked the 1st free kick of the entitlement as well. bizarre then an equalizer or england that was an own. go go, he's the top for the total and we've been living gold. it's been more on golden this tournament. the all the of the european championships put together the penalty . there we go. terribly taken by hurricane said you put in the rebound, was it kick? this is the big question mark. every denmark, someone tell, you know what the referee gave it, the video assistant referees that, yes, it's the penalty. as an english, when i say it was very, very soft and for a semi final, a major tone, maybe too soft. but england fans will say after we lost 3 semifinals, since 966, we deserve this bit of luck. and i think most neutral fans would say pay. okay. then given that after putting an end to this, the semi final jinx england, now face italy in the final home advantage of at wembley, it's going to be great atmosphere, of course counting the goal the way. well,
12:26 pm
the fact that we've seen bouncing off of bosses and stuff obviously said, hey, we'll do an i know a lot of people outside and then don't liking them fan things. football is coming home. they think it's arrogant. yes. okay. the, the, the game with codified in england originally, but i have to say, it's not always said in an aggregate way. it's often meant sarcastically and humorously and ironically. but if you're in a final why don't bring it home. but yes, italy, our tough test of the see 33 games and they are probably man for men of better team than england. but with $60000.00 england fans behind you, it's probably well going to be so tight. this one might go didn't know she's, i think that's not united german, i keep my fingers crossed for her to kill a case my middle d w sports there for us. thank you, and that's it from me and mark and the whole new team here coming up next business
12:27 pm
12:28 pm
