8:06 am
ah, would you get a deputy? i must say that it was expected because our country has been in the situation for 6 years without a real solution to this terrorism. and that they have been suffering for 6 years now. thanks to the colonel with his team with his strong army. we are saved from to day onward. we thank god ah, soldiers have taken the president into custody. they have published a letter of his resignation on national tv. ah, the military has also suspended the constitution and dissolved the government. the international community has voiced its concerns. the secretary general strongly condemns any attempt to take over of government by the force of arms. he calls on
8:07 am
the crew leaders to lay down their arms and to ensure the protection of the physical integrity of the president and of the institutions of working of faso. we call for the immediate release of president, gabor and other government officials and for members the security forces to respect for kenneth officers, constitution and civilian leadership. as the sunsets i have the like a dougal to support his height for new era in burkina faso. ah, the u. s. and europe are trying to present a united front in the face of russia's build up of troops near the ukrainian border . the united states has put 80 or 8500 troops, rather on heightened alert, ready to respond if nato decides to deploy forces. the pentagon says no final decisions were made on deployment, but nato has announced it sending more ships and fighter jets to boost defenses in eastern europe. in recent weeks, russia has mast around 100000 troops near ukraine's border. moscow denies that is
8:08 am
planning an invasion. the pentagon says the u. s. is preparing for all possible scenarios in the event of nato's activation of the n r s, or a deteriorating security environment. the united states would be in a position to rapidly deploy additional brigade, combat teams, logistics, medical aviation, intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance, transportation, and additional capabilities into europe. again, i want to reinforce that as of now, the decision has been made to put these units on higher alert and higher alert. only no decisions have been made to deploy any forces from the united states at this time. meanwhile, ukrainian president valadez zalinski has urged western nations to remain united and calm amid height intentions with russia. after meeting with his national security advisers on monday, president zalinski addressed the ukrainian public in
8:09 am
a televised speech. he said that his office was working for a peaceful, de escalation of the situation with russia. he stressed the situation was under control and called for the nation, not to panic. one who tried to prove that sentiment was echoed in a separate statement by ukraine's head of security alexi a daniel on when the boss from when the soonest licked. we can see no reason to day to stage a large scale offensive on our country enough. it's impossible to do even physically fuselage yet, but a swine. is there a movements of russian federation armed forces in its territory? it takes place when the you, we detect with it. but there's nothing that can surprised that zillow, mammals was perhaps it surprised our foreign colleagues. they finally saw russian armed forces move across the territory. if a garage liquid us, the wise or more, i'm joined by d. w, correspond jack parrot in russell's good morning, the u. s has put its troops on heightened alert,
8:10 am
while ukraine's leaders projecting in atmosphere of calm. what's the e use posture at this point, jack? well, from the european perspective, there are differing positions on this. as we know, countries like france and the netherlands and spain have already said that they're starting to ready some military hardware to move in. if it needs to go further into east in europe to try and make that sort of stand. but other countries, germany specifically has been locking exports of arms to ukraine to help them to defend themselves. so there's been a few divisions we had this phone call between the u. s. president joe biden. the leaders of the 2 major institutions on the line and michelle and the french president, the german chancellor, the british prime minister, the polish president as well over a late last night. and president biden said that this was a very, very, very good meeting that keen to make it look like everybody in the western partners
8:11 am
are on the same page. i think it was very interesting. what we saw from ukrainian officials, though, clearly trying now to calm their citizens who are worried off to weeks and weeks of discussions about a potential invasion on to their territory and what the ukrainians were suggesting was that actually it's not going to be an invasion over the border that they're worried about, but rather things like disinformation and d stabilization that have been multiple concerns that potentially what the russians will try and do is try and ask the government in some way and put in some sort of leadership in kiev that he's favourable to moscow that was in fights just just a few days ago, a position that was repeated by the british foreign minister list trust. okay, so there's diplomacy going on. our washington, though, is talking about possibly deploying more troops to eastern europe or european countries doing the same jack. not yet,
8:12 am
what we saw yesterday was the european commission and i, it's a 1200000000 euro package for ukraine economically to try and support the government. because what russia has been doing is sort of putting the pressure and turning the screws on ukraine economically. so that's really where they've been trying to, to support them. i think here in europe as well, we saw off to any u foreign ministers meeting. on monday, joseph arose. the foreign policy chief seemed to suggest that actually what they heard from the american secretaries of state antony blink and had joined them by video for that call as well. wasn't enough for them to take similar actions to the americans. the americans has said that non essential staff in their embassy in care should be leaving. the europeans. don't see that as much of a risk and therefore haven't decided to move any of their diplomatic stuff out of kia. we're gonna have to wait and see how this goes further. terry, there are some mix messages generally, but also perhaps, you know,
8:13 am
an intention for an array of different messages. the americans are the strongest military. so therefore they make the strongest sort of military or statements and the ukrainians are right on the front line. so they try and call for calm the europeans that perhaps sit somewhere in the middle. jack, thank you very much. t w's jack paris. they're in brussels. as take a brief look as some of the other stories making headlines around the world today, at least 19 people have died after a brawl at a karaoke club that was then set on fire in indonesia as west papa province. police say members of 2 groups attacked each other with machetes and molotov cocktails, investigator se, most died after the menu caught fire in sa wrong city. security forces in sudan have killed 2 protesters as crowds marched to the presidential palace in the capital. khartoum, demonstrators are calling for an end to military rule. security forces took over in

8:15 am
injured the man and fled and killed himself. for the 18 year old german suspect lived in near by mannheim, we have already searched his flattened, gathered evidence. what we have been able to verify so far is that directly before the attack, he sent a. what's that message to somebody in which he wrote that people now had to be punished. that lawyer was hosted, missing one of his victims, a 23 year old student later died of her injuries and hospital police a. it appears the attacker had poured his weapons abroad. germany's chancellor expressed shock at the events. it breaks my heart to hear this news. my thoughts are with the relatives and the victims. and of course, with the students of the university of hydro bag. the university is the oldest and
8:16 am
most prestigious in germany. when he came universities and the city of heidelberg should and will continue to be spaces where people can move without fear, where science can prosper and where young people can prepare for life, leaving for below. after months of distance learning due to the pandemic students, he had only returned to in person classes 3 months ago. the joy of being back in lectures and seminars now tainted by tragedy. dw stephanie burnett is in heidelberg at the university were the shooting took place on monday. tell us how have people in heidelberg been reacting to this tragedy? as you can imagine, the shock and confusion that took hold of this campus after the incident, one student was describing how she was scrambling to secure her room in

8:18 am
but these are details that police are hoping to get access to as they continued their investigations. but what we do know is that he is an 18 year old german student here at the university, and that it appears that the weapons were purchased from abroad. so there are some of the questions that the community here wants answered is how did he get access to these weapons and why did he carry out such a senseless attack? simply thank you very much, reporter stephanie burnett. they're reporting from heidelberg now to afghanistan, when the taliban fighters took over their last august, it spell disaster for millions of women who had re entered public life not least were hundreds of women judges who faced threats of violent retribution, but 150 female judges. and their families managed to escape, they 1st reached greets, where they waited to be resettled. 5 of them have now arrived here in germany. w.
8:19 am
matthew moore has been to meet 2 of them in brandenburg under hoffer, near the capital berlin, where he, dora, he must job, was upholding the law. then her country descended into lawlessness. after graduating, she went on to become a judge and an enemy of the violent extremist who now run afghanistan. but at many times eskew or to branch, like i asked us until i told us that there are people like an italian, and many tourists are looking for judges, prosecutors. and we have seen them like attacking the prosecutor's judges. many were kidnapped or killed. not right now, i'm here, but to, i'm feeling safe. but my heart a beats for my country, for my people out there, where he does is not alone for him or to is a judge. they studied together and have been reunited at this temporary housing
8:20 am
unit in germany. the escape the taliban with the support of a global network for lawyers, which raised funds to charter a plane and helped $390.00 judges under families. flea afghanistan as yourself would at almost running the sla it was really hard. i'm at our efforts of 20 years . all our study that university and in the judicial branch, when our fruitless, sensible as field questioning when we left behind our jobs and efforts in afghanistan, han activities and they get the message we left behind our houses and relatives, and our ordinary lives, hold on more than me to them, it was a hard decision for us on what floor and hawk had him. but as much the absurd it as him sat burmal. even before the taliban took over the waged war on the judiciary bombing court houses and assassinating female judges on the street. what was that again, so for him up remembers the de the taliban,
8:21 am
unleashed thousands of jailed criminal litigation. long hush love within by my command. after will they be released from prison and lighted my camera, and they went to the court all by and destroyed all chairs and tables there. that would be a civil case could, would cause and then they called my boss and threatened him was there not much? doesn't they give them return? yes, get him off. for now, the judges have found safety at a form, a military barracks used by russian soldiers during the cold war. but more than 90 of their colleagues are still trapped and afghanistan. they're all very concerned. they are trying so much and they are just waiting for a time to be evacuated from afghanistan. meanwhile, the women are waiting to be housed somewhere permanent, where their children can settle in school, and they can find meaningful work. but they haven't ruled out a return. i hope that something american would happen
8:22 am
and does it change, and i'll be back to my country as a proud a judge as a proud woman and will enjoy in being there because that's my own country. and i belong to dear. i like it. my kids like it and that's something and dream. and not just for myself, for all as her out of afghanistan, we all dream of going back to my country, wendy, like, half garnished on the face an uncertain future. unlike afghanistan, they can at least count on piece janelle, from wellington, in new zealand by justice, susan glaze, brooke, she is a supreme court judge in new zealand and president of the international association of women judges. she was involved in the rescue of the 2 judges. we just saw justice place brooker. thanks for being with us. tell us more about how this
8:23 am
dramatic rescue unfolded. an trinetics come race ski. i'm a sun prairie, so i'm a snowing mom and the same and that's what it took was a lot of work. a lot of behind the scenes work behind the scenes work by a lot of partners that we were working with. in particular, the international bar association effectively had to negotiate land and rights, ines canister hit to negotiate land and rights on the trends that country and grace evacuations are very complicated and costly and effectively like a jigsaw puzzle. so landon writes landing lights and trans at countries and negotiations, final destination 2. ringback people that spain i'm particularly difficult because
8:24 am
even when they're, these judges are granted relocation that takes a lot of time. and so it is necessary to support people and those trans, at countries. okay, so just organizing it was difficult but for the judges themselves. so of course, there, there are great things at stake here. you've managed to help a 150 judges with your colleagues and their families to, to leave afghanistan. but we just heard there, there are still judges hoping to escape with their families. what, what are their prospects? those still in afghanistan of getting out we're working with numerous partners on evacuation possibilities some way did promise all of our ask and colleagues on august when the taliban reached kabul, that we both forget nobody. and we certainly hope that we can fulfill their promise . now,
8:25 am
for the judges that have managed to escape are some of them in germany. what kind of support do they need now to rebuild their lives? well, it just the family saw clearly traumatized both by their experiences in afghan us to and, and by the pain of leaving the country and the jobs that i loved and effectively with one small state case for many of spent months and friends of destinations. and by faith from h, a hash of when they final destination, they've got a debt to a new country, a new language, and a new culture. and they face years of retraining, an order to practice from the wall. so they need support to take them through that process. i, however courageous and resilient women and my view when encountering it, should be pleased to welcome them. i'm worthy and wretched by having done fine. but as you've unsure no western diplomats have begun talks with the taliban in norway.
8:26 am
ah, what are you hoping might come out of those talks? well, with very worried we remain very worried about the actions of the taliban on the 10th of respect to the education of girls denying woman the right to word respecting women's freedom of most mumps and suppressed and peaceful pricey parties . an addition generally of who says on all such crises, the project and so you don't feel shorter just full of fate. women and girls, the hardest. the taliban early. a tried to say that the for different brains ration from before. their actions quite far. however, have not looked up to those promise of what we would be typing comes out of the tool, so that a fake to play some action takes the full life promises and to make sure that women and girls are able to love a full and and effect of life under the taliban role.
