dry summer threatened to breaking some of the world's most important in land shipping lanes to assault clos, equal pay for equal footwork because women's soccer grows and popularity play is cool for that salaries to match the mens. and now even the german chancellor is working in ah, how many cubes? buchanan, thanks so much for joining us. the former us president donald trump says f b i. agents have rated his mar, logo state in florida. the search is reportedly linked to an investigation into the removal of documents from the white house. trump son eric, cool, be unprecedented rate, quote, political persecution. he accused democrats of ordering it to prevent trump from running for president. again, palm beach,
1:02 pm
florida. this is the scene that followed the 1st ever f b i search of an ex presidents home outside the luxury resort owned by donald trump . his fan base is rallying and protest. they believe the f. b, i is carrying out a political agenda, find administration to them a critical weaponized thing to be on the pass. oh, okay, and i don't understand why the f b i came because what's in there and coming to this president's house, someone who we love a lot only who we know is the only person who can see this country. we don't want to be like cuba. why like nicaragua, like venezuela, the ex presidents drummed up his republican beast after seeing his estate was rated in a statement on his social media channel truth, social warning of dark times in america. trump said the raid was not necessary or appropriate. his fury has been echoed by republicans to say the f. b. i has been completely weaponized by radical,
1:03 pm
left democrats. all of this coming as president trump has been inching ever closer to announcing that he wants to run in the 2020 for a presidential election. trump is under scrutiny by the department of justice for allegedly violating the presidential records act of 1978 legislation that makes it illegal to remove any documents from the white house. penalties for breaking law include disqualifications from holding federal office. dominic talk staff is a u. s. policy expert with the german council on foreign relations and he joins me now. welcome to d. w. now this such as focused on material that mr. trump allegedly brought with him to mar logo when he left the white house. how serious could this be for him and could as it is being suggested, could we see him bod, from running for office again? yeah, thank you for having me. and i don't think this will actually happen practice.
1:04 pm
because no matter what the verifications are about, the case will take some time and you should try this launched and it will take some time to ask witnesses and convince, eventually, or just show that there is indeed enough evidence that trump committed the federal crime. and this might take at least 2 years, and by the time trump or someone like trump might be elected president. and then that's also because that this person can get a presidential pardon. so if you really wanted to run for office again, these investigations and likely to stop him from doing that. and even with medications, even for, for the higher up his own base, trump is claiming that the f b i is being weaponized by his political opponents. is that any evidence to a school at all to suggest that that's the case? yeah, it's not surprising. they're trying to make these claims and he knows that his particular
1:05 pm
belief him and not the f, b i and this and it will nearly be impossible to change the narrative among his support of. and trump, of course, continue to push this narrative. but we shouldn't forget that the material that the january 6 committee has presented to the public, but a lot of pressure on the justice department to move ahead and start investigations against from so they needed to do something for yes, there was pressure also from within the democratic party unmarried, garland, and that you probably wouldn't have started these investigations without knowing that there is enough evidence that can be secured in the re today. that surprisingly, this assess off a furious reaction among trump supporters and the republican policy on the far right of american politics. suggesting that the u. s. u. s. politics is as a polarized as ever yes, i mean the u. s. s. excuse me, the poorest at the moment,
1:06 pm
and it might even get worse. pause show that societies have been the rise to it a day that congress has been there for the last. and the reason ruined by the supreme court, of course, contributed to this part of the nation. and you can get worse only in the beginning of the campaign to the election member. and the investigation from today were for the after the public. and dave and what is also concerning is the situation after the election because if you look at the republicans who they. busy needed for a number of positions and offices that are relevant. several kennedy believe that the 2020 next week for this stuff really, both of it's been been our elections and we might see efforts from the republicans side to manipulate the lex resides. and that, of course we're on the full rise united states, so many type stuff from the german council on foreign relations. thank you very much. now voting is

1:08 pm
or incumbent, the be to president william, brutal. nonetheless, of course, we also appreciate that overtime whether we look at it through the experience of 20, but in general elections or 2017. i've been in boys by themselves. i've never been quite accurate because the dentist of engine, for instance, the exit polls had demonstrated or had indicated that i know dingo was i had on the then incumbent president a little can yet. but looking at the bills, trolls. i la nina. so it also depends on the methodology and the marginal buries. but if it's one we have to depend on that we can put than it's possible that rate on me when the election both of the candidates have vowed to improve the nation's economic grace. can you give us a sense of how realistic these promises are? well, basically there are promises and commitments that have been met by day of the leading
1:09 pm
presidential candidates re loading and william, brutal arm. i miss a just a way of courting the voters to what for them in this election because of no government has ever achieved even 50 percent of implementation. all the commitments med through. they are, but as many festers and if at all the performance of the julia administration under the present regime of looking at is anything to go by intrigue attaching. by the time we got to intervention, general election did was written on the whooping edge. i had not even a gene to, to present implementation of their 1st money 1st and from 2017, up to now the commitments that we're looking at are made during that election about the big for gender, of what you're going to be that you've at 45 percent answering realistically, looking at the kind of commitment that i've been met. none of these that have been
1:10 pm
read that being implemented within the 1st 100, these can easily be achieve, develop such present. she goes to apply to living policies and studies that will have to be revised. and that takes a bit of time to look at the 3 month books, the hope with dudley. there are systemic challenges that exist in candidate to overcome. those is, dilly challenges. will also take up each time. it's possible that be optimistic on the people as a mission we optimistic that they are going to implement some of these commitments by don't that any of them can or somebody implement the commitments that that met your. ready companies, all right, can i speak on that? we'll have to leave it that political analyst and governance expert from nairobi. thank you very much. good. ok, let's take a look now, some of the other stories making news around the world. russia has launched a total of 17 probes into space, including an iranian surveillance satellite, the probes to cough and so his rocket from a base in kazakhstan,

1:12 pm
a precautionary measure. we turn now to russia's war in ukraine, where moscow has consistently denied that it is targeting civilian infrastructure. but the level of destruction on the ground suggests otherwise. according to the ukrainian government, hundreds of hospitals and health facilities have been damaged. t w's bitter ciocca went to the northern town of chinese, where she met a man who's trying to hold russia accountable. as deputy health minister, public of tanya worked for years to build ukraine's health care system. in his new job, he documents it's destruction. this used to be the chinese cardiac center until it was totally destroyed by a russian asked to write. that swag is one of more than 180 hospital attacks cofton loop and his team have documented i see the systemic best out of all from destruction of health care as
1:13 pm
a part of civilian livelihood because it's not only about health care, it's old types of civilian objects will be systemic or targeted dash can video caught the moment when aid russian bombs hit the residential area, leaving a crater right next to the cardiac center. the attack could 47 people that day. the city was under constant selling. a resident tells us go marked up excavators had to dig to grave, there were so many victim for they had to bury them in the body, backs pablo cove, tanya and his small n g o. collect witness accounts, photos of damage, and remnants of weapons. they held the evidence can be used in future litigation. they just work on cases where no ukrainian military were based near buying. only then coff tanya says, could such an attack a moment to a war crime,
1:14 pm
a tax on health facilities like this one leaf, much more destruction than erect hospital. they leave people without immediate and long term health care. and they add to fear and insecurity because hospitals are no longer a place of safety. doctors at the chimney of children's hospital just across the street, treated the injured of the cardiac center attack a day dr. nikolai lord cabbage says he will never forget the shuttle to weiner, but just were trained trauma surgeon, us. but we never, ever experienced this kind of bleeding wound, but animal. but everybody was screaming adults and kid. usually we put 5 of them here on the floor, but more and more were coming. it was chaos, ship was to party. you are the constant telling, the doctors did everything they could to keep their young patients safe. and that meant a lot of time in the basement, 2 weeks later, a bomb hit here. oh, certainly, obstacle to pamela. it was a cluster bomb or want to lose if the ammunition parts were everywhere for the war
1:15 pm
. fortunately, there had been an air raid alarm for the cluster attack. so the children were in the basement you. if not, we could have had 237 death mazama, but do sickness was himself. if he sells cop tonya, the shrapnel he collected from the site they operated for hours, he says, to get dozen south similar pieces are threatening out of the children's bodies morbid author through with the doorbell. and i, and when you're here to this, no need to explain why when it justice, for somebody needs to pay for what was done to that, to people like, like nicola or his patients under way out of chinese. we pass another destroyed hospital. it may take years before an international court or tribunal starts dispensing justice. but when they need his evidence, cofton york says it's ready and waiting
1:16 pm
some millions of europeans, the summer of 2022 has been a sweltering one, a dry spring hotter than usual temperatures that have left several european countries in the growth of drought, extreme heat waves and forest fires of plate, france, italy, spain, and portugal. for weeks the u. k. recorded temperatures over 40 degrees celsius for the 1st time and rivers on the continent on drying up in the netherlands and germany. the rhine river has dropped so low that house boats have become stranded, and commercial ships can't carry full loads anymore. now, the rhine is one of the world's most important shipping lanes. i spoke to the w correspondent, barbara visa earlier, whose close to the border where the river crosses from the netherlands and to germany. and i asked her if there is still enough water to keep the cargo boats moving is just about enough water here. it's ny megan of because this is a relatively far down river. this is where the river barges come up from the
1:17 pm
biggest european harbor from rotterdam, carrying coal, carrying ellen gee carrying all those mass goods that can't really be moved by truck. and they make their way here up to germany and they can just pass the we watch the since the morning and carefully and slowly the river barges are still sort of inching their way sort of up river. but experts say it may be another 2 or 3 days and then traffic, you will have to stop to. if you look over to the other side there, we see there was a nice little beaches now they are not supposed to be there. this is basically what you see the river, right, but the water has gone, and only right in the middle here, we still have some. what about the other parts of the river that are much dryer than what you can see here? because the water is still sort of bunches up together here a bit and it still makes it shipping, but it's last days of shipping, shipping possible. but it's not going to last long. it's not been raining here
1:18 pm
since april and did the, the weather forecast said it will not rain and the next week, so there's not going to be any relief. it's just going to get worse. now i believe there are plans to make the rhine a little deeper that will that help if there simply isn't enough water in the river . yeah, that's a big question. i mean, of course, these shipping companies and associations are calling to sort of safeguard shipping and a dig out the, the, the shipping channel here that we see here in running in the middle of the river. but at that is just to reach me at a remedial measure because it's going to help for maybe a couple of years. it will silt up again, will silt over again. and because just say that as the consequences, the negative consequences for the whole ecological system of the rhine a be so vast that the plaza could really be completely outweighed by the negative
1:19 pm
consequences. it would have full, the, for the whole river ecology. so there's less water in the rhine. wildfires will over europe, high temperatures. what's the european union union doing to address this really quite alarming situation? they have this big program of cars for europe to become carbon neutral, was in the next decade. but what we see here is that the consequences offered the, the things we didn't do in the past of politics that it did not take into account climate change. many people who would simply in partitions didn't believe in it, and this can't be brought back. this is what we have now, and this will is what we see, or maybe year after year now that the, the big river is of europe are going to dry up. it's not only shipping. that is the sort of caught up in that to not but it's, it's more than that. there are parts of the netherlands, one of the wetness countries in europe that don't have enough water anymore.
1:20 pm
farmers are not allowed to water their fields anymore. so this has huge consequences and what we see here, this river that is slowly, slowly running dry more and more day after day is just is side of for the, the big consequences of climate change that we're seeing here. up on a visa reporting from ny megan in the netherlands. thank you so much. now, germany's chancellor will actually assist you to visit the headquarters of the german football association today to push forward a discussion that he has personally shield shall. it's has called for equal pay for men and women football players on german national teams. currently, the women's team is paid far less than the men's. at least nobody can claim the women's game doesn't draw big crowds. the 2022 euros in england set new standards in terms of a crowd sizes and tv audiences. club football is another story though. just
1:21 pm
a few 100 fans tend to be present at frau and bonus league matches germany's highest women's league. like here at vera prime. the men's team sell out the 42000 seat of vesa study and most weeks, even while they were in the 2nd tier. last season, completely different conditions which result in completely different wages. only half of the women's fondest league players can live from football aligned with an average wage of 40000 euros a year. the average male bonus like a player makes around 1600000 euros here, around 40 times more dockman, c, e, o and german. if a vice president hands you are combats, get argues that it's quite clear that equal pay is the goal. but with equal revenue in profit driven football, they've seems no way around this equation. however, national teams and associations have the opportunity to set an example when it
1:22 pm
comes to a co pay german chancellor. olive sholtes also noted this during the heroes women and men. he said should be paid equally. that also applies to sport, especially for national teams. spine is ahead of the game. almost a dozen national associations now pied them male and female players equal bonuses. the german, if i has yet to adopt that policy, germany's run us up at the women's euros were paid $30000.00 euros per player, doubled that had they won the tournament. meanwhile, the men would have made $400000.00 euros each. if they had lifted the trophy at euro 2021 and joining us now from the gen football associations headquarters in frankfort is arc sports report and max merrill hi max. and countless shouts will be that today. tell us how he's going to try to push this discussion forward.
1:23 pm
yet he just passed through behind me a few minutes ago and he's obviously angling for equal pay caught up as so many of us have been by the momentum. and the fanfare of euro 2022. now at the time the german national team director oliver b a half said he was surprised by the statements and said, i'll invite him to clarify the numbers. well, they're doing just that right now. he's just been showing him around the df be campus here and they're now holding talks and about to release a joint statement in about an hour or so well be off at the time. also said the d of these priority is to have equal play, not equal pay. the current policy is to pay the national team play as a percentage of their you a for or fee for prize money in european or world cup competitions. and some german media outlets branded sholtes. his comments has populist and short sighted, but he has been caught up like i said by this momentum built by euro 2072. as we had in the report that the numbers have been outstanding. for instance,
1:24 pm
the germany england final drew a crowd of 18000000 t v. viewers here domestically. so be of and many voices in the women's game have said the priority is to have equal play rather than pay, but sholtes is really pushing for that. here today i came to talking about equal pay. i mean, the difference is really our stock is it likely will have equal pay any time soon. and what would it mean for the thought of germany was introduced? s yeah, i mean germany has a huge tradition of success in both gender categories. so the women of $18.00 out of 13 euros. the men have one for 3 years for well cups. the women of on to well cups and other countries have done this. spain netherlands have recently joined that and previously it was the u. s. a. in norway who sort of led the way, but those 2 were countries that didn't really have a strong tradition in the men's game at spain, netherlands, and germany even more so than those countries have
1:25 pm
a strong fulfilling tradition in both categories. so would be a real big statement and one that you know is not necessarily gonna carry of, it's a club football, but i get back to this thing of equal playing and the germany national team coach martina false tackling book said that that is more important to her, she has to disagree with the chancellor and she wants to develop better structures fairness in terms of developing players equal opportunities access to academies and so on. we've had german national team plays in the last few weeks, explained that they were made to train with boys until they were 16, which was actually a boost of them. because then they could use those facilities because those facilities simply do not exist for women their age. so the d f b now is saying we're going to equip that. we have been equipping women with the same amount of training, opportunities, straining staff and so on. so this is really the priority. i don't expect necessarily an agreement on equal pay, but definitely pushing that forward and martina forsaken book said, maybe the men can earn a little less and the women
1:26 pm
a little more that would for her already be a big step in the right direction. south i can get i destiny, did have a max merrill and frank say much. now the australian singer and actress olivia newton john has died at the age of $73.00. she was a multi platinum selling recording artist that was best known for the musical movie . grease in which we start opposite john travolta. her husband said that she had been a symbol of hope by sharing a 30 year battle against breast cancer with. c ah,
