3 years that would change the world forever. my jillions journey around the world. september 7th on d. w. ah . ah . this is the w news live from berlin, b s b i such as donald trump's florida estate. the former president said a large group of agents rated mara log. his son says that searching for documents taken from the white house, also coming up, veteran kenyon, opposition leader, right? or didn't got hopes to become a president. but the front runner faces
2:01 pm
a strong challenge from deputy president william roto. we look at what the outcome could mean for kenny and add europe's rivers at risk as a record halt dry. some threatens to bring some of the world's most important in land shipping lanes to a halt. class equal pay for equal foot work because women soccer grows and popularity play is cool for best salaries to match the men's. and now even the german chancellor is weighing ah i'm on your hips again and thanks so much for joining us. the whole the u. s. president donald trump says f b i agents have rated his maro lago estate in florida. such is reportedly linked to an investigation into the removal of documents from the white house. trump son,
2:02 pm
eric cooled the unprecedented rate. quote, political persecution, he accused democrats of ordering it to prevent from, from running for president, again, palm beach, florida. this is the scene that followed the 1st ever f. b. i search of an ex, president's home outside the luxury resort, owned by donald trump. his fan base is rallying in protest. they believe the f b i is carrying out a political agenda by ministration to them. a critical weaponized thing to be on the past about, 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, what 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,
2:03 pm
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, 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 and for we can cross straight to our washington d. c. bureau chief in as poor in as the such a focused on classified records. mr. trump allegedly took from the white house to his home in florida. tell us how serious this could be for hinton. and could it even lead to him being barred from running for office again. and then taking
2:04 pm
such action against any major a political figure would be highly delicate given from status as the former commander in chief, a former president, it is especially grave. so one can assume that the f b, i has very good reasons to believe that they will find or found classify documents at the property, which might prove by the end the t committed a crime. but we have to say time is on the side of donald trump, as it will take months of not years before the president might be prosecuted. and by then he might be actually re elected and could try to pardon himself. so short answer, no, it is actually really unlikely that we will see him, him being barren from running for office again. now, chum and his supporters, claiming and that his political opponents are wet, amazing, b, s, b, i. is there any evidence at all to suggest that that might be the case?
2:05 pm
no, there is no evidence at the f. b, i is being baptized, the stakes for the investigators. and for the countries political future actually are enormous. you know, those implications would only become actually more critical if it later emerges. the d, f. b i search was not squint ducted by the book. i was not critical to the nations national security. and this is something i'm sure officials are very aware of. can you tell us about the reaction to what's happened here and what does this tell us about where the country finds itself with the midterm elections just around the corner? well, i hate is actually quite remarkable. the trump himself broke the news about the search on a social media platform. it was not officials who did that. and he did that in a very, very a kind of a typical and also successful way by using all the trigger words,
2:06 pm
words which fired up his supporters like deep stayed than he talked about the elections 2020 being stolen. so i am actually just coming back from c packs. this is the annual meeting of the far right, republican branch. and it is, it was very obviously there in taxes that there is no way that the republican party or any candidate can find a way around donald trump. that anyone who would do so or try to do so like this change, for example, example will be punish. so it doesn't really come as a surprise that an attack against the former president is seen as an attack against the party itself and on. yeah, i want to raise one more thought, you know, the biden administration just was very helpful at this climate. a bill which passed the senate on sunday will give them a push towards the midterms. but this very surge in a florida might actually do the opposite. and help getting the power back to for
2:07 pm
both a both houses to the republicans in his pull, the deadly washington beer. ha, thank you so much. now the thing is underway in kenya as the country elect a new president and members of parliament. a campaign has been dominated by the cost of living crisis and high unemployment. former prime minister re loading guy is a heading opinion polls followed by the current deputy president, william retype the outgoing president, her a can. yes, it is stepping down after reaching the end of his to term limit about top candidates have promised economic relief for the country. i asked jarvis began, bo has a political analyst and governance expert in nairobi. it's such promises can impact entrusted. but basically their promises and commitment that have been met by 2 of the didn't visual candidates where loading and william, brutal arm,
2:08 pm
i'm or say justice a wheel coaching the voters good for them in this election because of no government has ever achieved even huge percent of implementation all the commitments med through they are, but it's money crystals. and if at all the performance of the julia demonstration under the present regime of looking at or is anything to go by in trigger trojan. by the time we go to the intervention general election, the jobulator was driven on the whooping edge. i had not even a gene to, to present magician of their 1st money 1st. and full drivers, haven't jim up to know the college months that we're looking at are met during the election about the big for gender of what you're going to be. that's huge at 45 percent. and so in realistically looking at the kind of commitment that i've been met, none of these that have been read that being implemented in the $500.00. these can
2:09 pm
easily be able to present to go to the apartment if you will. you some studies that will have to be revised, and that takes a bit of time to look at the 3 months, but the hope with dudley. there are systemic challenges that exist and it will be to overcome those is dilly challenges. will also take a bit of time. it's possible that be optimistic on the people of the mission we'll to mr. that they're going to implement some of these commitments by note that any of them can or somebody implement the commitments that that met during the companies. ok, let's take a look now at some of the other stories making news around the world. 3 palestinians, including a militant commander, have been killed and a gun battle with israeli forces in the west bank town of nablus. israel has stepped upgrades, targeting palestinian militants after a string of attacks on his railways. the laces finance comes to us 2 days after a ceasefire between israel and the iran back islamic jihad militants in gaza.

2:13 pm
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 poplar you urine. 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, cassette, the obstacle to put on what was it was a cluster bomb or want to use the ammunition parts were everywhere for the war. fortunately, there had been an air raid alarm for the cluster attack. so the children were in the basement. if not, we could have had 237 death mazama, but do sickness was himself. if he sells cough, tony luke, the shrapnel he collected from the site they operated for hours. he says to get dozens of similar pieces are threatening out of the children's bodies lobby rosalie
2:14 pm
through with the doorbell. and i, and when you're here to this long it to explain why, when it justice for somebody needs to pay for what was done to that, to people like, like nicola or his patience on the way out of cheney. if we pass another destroyed hospital, it may take years before an international court or tribunal starts dispensing justice. and when they need his evidence cove, tanya says it's ready and waiting for millions of europeans. the summer of 2022 has been a sweltering one. a dry spring and hotter than usual, temperatures have left several european countries in the grip 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
2:15 pm
on the continent. a drawing 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 d. w correspondent, bob. a visa earlier is close to the border where the river crosses from the netherlands into 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 biggest european harbor from rotterdam. carrying coal, carrying ellen g 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 this 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's maybe another 2 or 3 days
2:16 pm
and then traffic here, we'll 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 off 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 loss them. it's not been raining here 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 washer in the river. yeah, that's a big question. i mean, of course, these shipping accompanies and associations are calling to sort of safeguard
2:17 pm
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 remote yield 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 the consequences, the negative consequences for the whole ecological system of the rhine a be so vast, is that the plus sir, could really be completely outweighed by the negative consequences. it would have full, the, for the whole river ecology. so does that water in the rhine? wildfires will know the 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 they did not take into account
2:18 pm
climate change. of 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 is what we see. and maybe year after year now that the, the big rivers 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 witness countries in europe that don't have enough water anymore. 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 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
2:19 pm
germany's chance little of shall it's as visiting the headquarters of the german football association today to push forward a discussion that he has personally fueled hell. it says cold 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 a few 100 fans tend to be present at frau and bonus league matches germany's highest women's lake. like here at vera prime, it they mens team sell out the 42000 seat a vessel 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
2:20 pm
women's pointers like applies can live from football alone 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 i vice president hans, you are combat. sca argues that it's quite clear that equal pay is the goal, but with equal revenue in profit driven football, there seems no way around this equation. however, national teams and associations have the opportunity to set an example when it comes to a co pay german chancellor. olive schultz 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 a head 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,
2:21 pm
germany's runners up at the women's euros were paid $30000.00 euros per play, a double that had they won the tournament. meanwhile, the men would have made $400000.00 euros each. if they had lifted the trophy at 02021 and dw sports carson at max merrill is at the gym and football association headquarters in frankfort, where we'll actually is meeting officials to day. and i asked him earlier, how much pressure the chancellor is likely to apply on making equal pay a reality? yeah, 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
2:22 pm
a joint statement in about an hour or so well be off at the time. also said the d, if 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 a prize money in european or world cup competitions. and some german media outlets branded schoultz. his comments has populist and short sighted, but he has been caught up like i said by this momentum built by euro 2072. and as we had in the report, the numbers have been outstanding. for instance, 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 anytime soon. and what would it mean for the stores if germany were to introduce this?
2:23 pm
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 have on to well cups and other countries have done this. spain netherlands have recently joined that and previously it was the usa 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 a strong fulfilling tradition in both categories. so it would be a real big statement and one that you know is not necessarily gonna carry of its 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,
2:24 pm
explained that they were made to train with boys until they were 16, which was actually a boost to 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, training 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 falls, taking a book, said maybe the men can earn a little less and the women a little more that would for her already be a big step in the right direction. it sounds like a good idea and a w max merrill and frank, thanks. so much now, celebrities and fans alike have been paying tribute to olivia newton john, who has died of the age of $73.00. when he say, be entertain as openness about a decades long battle with breast cancer, gave them hope and inspiration. she enjoyed a long and successful career that she is best remembered for one iconic film.
