they were a common site here before the war, but now they no longer supply the continent with grain. other countries have taken up the slack. this cargo ship loaded with wheat is arriving from argentina, but down is not enough. the people of senegal and other countries on the continent, fear that prices will soar. oh, how much the small one is $0.15 the other $0.30 a year, almost half of the population lives below the poverty line below so every penny is counted. wow, i'm then getting if the price of bread is raised again, it will be very difficult for a sandwich sellers because we already have high prices. the goods are already very expensive. to day, a ton of wheat costs more than $450.00 euros. this is twice as much as last year. for the moment, the state of cynical pays the difference. this makes it possible to freeze the price of flour and bread. but the sudden increase worries, the miller's was older,
12:16 pm
i get to sit together today. the senegalese baguette is subsidized by the state in the same way as it is, and many north african countries, egypt, tunisia, and morocco. but the question is, until when it is there not a risk that we will be caught up by the reality of prices. so that's the big question. so some bakers are trying to find solutions at their level. i'm a do gay, for example, has already changed his recipes. by me, this is millet, you take the flower and mix it altogether. over ludmilla in his establishment. he trains his apprentices to make bread with products that are a 100 percent from synagogue. good read luck. we must reduce the amount of weebly imported in the lum and replace it with our own serials you. if you go to the coach while there's man young there, bananas and sweet potatoes in nigeria, the same thing. go visit a all these tracy, their cereals,
12:17 pm
that can make bread. but local grain is more expensive than imported. wheat and financial support from the state is needed. if nothing changes with the increase in the price of wheat, the un announcer's debt within the next few months, more than $40000000.00 people could be lacking food in west and central africa. caught here in germany has completed a german soldier of planning it for right terrorist attack. it sentenced the officer to 5 and a half years in prison. the buddhist bailiff tenant lead a double life posing as a syrian asylum seeker. prosecutors say he intended to pass off an attack on senior lawmakers as an act of terrorism, committed by a refugee. the case shines a light on far right. extremism in the german military occurs when a transplant is outside the court in frankfurt. what more can you tell us about the verdict? well the a, a significant, significant of
12:18 pm
a verdict is simply that here is an acting left tenant and act as an officer of the german army who has now been convicted of having been of being a right wing extremists and of having planned a violent act that it could have endangered the security of the german state, and the verdict is not quite as high as the prosecution had asked for. the prosecution had asked for just over 60 years, and he's now going to jail for 5 and a half years. but in the end, the prosecution was successful and for the 1st time in many, many years and are an act, an officer in the german army has been convicted of being a right wing extremist. hans, can you give us a little bit more background on the case? yes, franco. the man that was convicted was an elite soldier. he was part of a german french battalion, and he in fact, studied at the french military academy and was arrested. he was arrested 5 years
12:19 pm
ago when he tried to retrieve a pistol that he had hidden at the airport in vienna. and when he was then examined, when the prosecutors looked at the police looked at who he was, it turned out that he had a 2nd identity as a syrian refugee. and when they looked at his documents and his cell phone and so on, they found that you had contexts to write with us in other sections of the german army, which led to prosecutions and consequences there. so he appears to have been very well connected. at the same time, the german army should have none of his convictions because in his master's thesis, in the french military academy, that turned out to be a racist treaties. and the french said they would have dismissed him. if he had been soldier, the germans gave him a 2nd chance. you talked about him hiding a pistol at the airport. how close did he come to actually carrying out his plan?
12:20 pm
he did not come very close to carrying out an attack. he did spy on a person who was engaged in supporting their few jeez, and fighting against anti against anti semitism and racism. but it didn't get as far as having very concrete plans. i think that's one of the reasons why the, the jail to him that he has now been given is not quite as long as it could have been. the maximum sentence would have been 10 years. and he has been given just over 5 years. and you mentioned the contacts he had to extreme as was with the acting alone or part of some sort of network. that's one of the big questions that remains open at the end of this case. he did have contacts on his phone and that led to one right wing group in part of the german elite army unit, which was then partly disbanded. he also had contacts to the preface scene,
12:21 pm
to ride with us all over germany who expecting some kind of disruption coming from refugees in germany. so there were contacts about some of the weapons that he appears to have banker that has some of the weapons that he has admitted that he has found that i'm traceable. it's not clear where they are. they may be with some of his colleagues, some of his comrades, but he's refused to talk about that. so the question, to what extent he is part of a network and how much of that network is still in existence, that remains completely open at the moment. the other big question that a lot of people are going to have is how much of a problem is right wing extremism in the german armed forces? yes, indeed, that is a big question. that's very embarrassing for the germans armed forces. what has been happening here in the german secret service of the mess? the secret service has been saying that right wing extremism right wing attacks are
12:22 pm
the major problem in german security at the moment. and the question, to what extent this is a feature also within german security forces is one that needs to be answered. there clearly are sections parts, individuals, smaller groups within both the army and the police forces that have been traced and that have been exposed. but the question is, to what extent these networks continue to exist as plants in frankfurt on that story? thank you very much, intriguing stuff. here's a quick look at some other stories making use around the world. italy is in christ itself. the prime minister mario dualities resignation was rejected by the president said he would step down after a key coalition partner. the 5 star movement refused to back a government built. druggie survived the confidence boat despite the rebellion, but said the coalition backing his government no longer exists. finance ministers of the g. 20 group of nations gathering in valley for a summit,

12:24 pm
who's currently meeting with palestinian leader mahmoud abbas in the occupied west bank. the meeting is part of biden's, 1st, middle east trip as president, while biden has reaffirmed washington support for a 2 state solution for israel and the palestinians. he hasn't come with any new proposals for restarting the still peace process. instead the pace talks focused on economic aid for the palestinian people have more on that story as it comes. 2 the global weather agency, w m. o is warning that a heat wave spreading across europe is likely to worse in air pollution in cities causing health problems for at risk groups. southern parts of the continent have been sweltering and temperatures well above 40 degrees celsius. with extreme temperatures likely to become more common due to climate change, one of spain's biggest cities is changing the way it deals with its summer weather
12:25 pm
forecasts. seville in southern spain is no stranger to heat. soon, residents will become even more familiar with scorching weather patterns. heat waves here are to be named just as storms are elsewhere. the city wants to draw attention to the life threatening danger of extreme temperatures driven by climate change. we believe that giving this phenomenon, given these heat waves, a name and a category is the best way for us to do that. and when a heat wave in our methodology reaches a category 3, it receives a name, a category 3 heat wave mains very high health risk to the entire population. the current conditions in spain are ranked as category too. but even that's enough to exacerbate wild fires burning across the country. fire cruise, fear worse is yet to come. look at my mouth, but what worries us most today is
12:26 pm
a southern wind that can move the fire and the rise in temperatures that we are suffering this week. more fires a raging across europe, south, including in portugal, france, croatia, italy and greece. the current hate wave is expected to expand across more countries . though so far unnamed, it won't go unnoticed. ever wondered if woodpeckers get a so head from hammering their beaks into trees all day. scientists used to believe the bud skull could absorb the impact, but a study in belgium reveals something else. woodpeckers smack their heads against trees and forests, the wild over when the bird hammers at a tree with its beak experience has a force that's more than 10 times the force that would give a human concussion. it doesn't seem to bother the birds, but evidence to show how they cope is scant. we went to different suicide across
12:27 pm
europe, with high speed camera. and we filmed these birds during backing the scientists and slowed down the films and analyzed how different parts of the had moved in relation to each other. we almost get the headache ourselves by looking at these videos. so it's a logic response to fringe. they must have some kind of a l metal or an airbag thanks to their brains. but the more you think about it, do you the less it makes sense for these birds? if what back as heads, cushion the blow from the tree would make the head butting less effective. so rather than absorbed the shock of the impact, the birds had acts like a stiff hammer and resist said. the bad, small size and small brain help at cope with the impact, the smaller the brain, the lower the load. to resist the shock woodpecker skulls have spongy bones which
12:28 pm
are light but very strong in their skull. the space that contains the fluid surrounding the brain and spinal cord is small to prevent damage from the fluid sloshing around. one theory suggests, veins in the buds, neck may be compressed, so the brain sit tight to in the skull. the suppose it shock absorbing qualities of the woodpecker skull has in spite protective materials and helmet design. but these newly discovered rigid qualities could now lead to a new generation of materials resistance to stress. i and a reminder of our top story, u. s. president joe biden is in the west bank city of bethlehem for talks with palestinian leader mahmoud abbas, who is currently addressing the price. the visit is part of biden's, 1st middle east trip. he travels on to saudi arabia later today, and will be bringing you his press conference as well next hour here on the down for you. also updating out story in sri lanka, prime minister county of m a singer has been sworn in as acting president
