4:02 pm
for president game, palm beach, florida. this is the scene that followed the 1st ever f b. i search of the next president's home outside this 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. why ministration to them critical weaponized thing to be on the bottom. okay. and i don't understand why the f b i came because what's in there in coming to this president's house? the one who we love a lot, who we know is the only person who can save this country. we don't want to be like uber like nicaragua, minnesota who, i mean he got out one venezuela. the ex president drummed up his republican beasts after seeing, as the state was rated in a statement on his social media channel truth, social warning of dark times and america, trump said the raid was not necessary or appropriate. and said the f b, i broke open his safe. trump is under scrutiny by the department of justice for
4:03 pm
allegedly violating the presidential records act of 1978 legislation that makes it illegal to remove any documents from the white house. penalties for breaking the records law include disqualification from holding federal office well as cross straight to our washington d. c. bureau chief ynez paul it is hi. this is, this search is really focused on classified records that trump allegedly took from the white house to his home in florida. how serious could that be for him? well rebecca, this has never happened beforehand, the history of the united states. so one can assume that the f b, i has good reasons to believe that they will find classified documents at the property, which might prove that the comp that are the former president, that donald trump committed a crime. but at the time is on the side of donald's run,
4:04 pm
as it will take months of nods. years before the president might be prosecuted. and republicans already said that they will start a committee to investigate the serge and any ruling rebecca. the definitely be escalated to the next court. so short answer. no, it is actually very unlikely that we will see him bared from running for office. quite the opposite might happen that this will give him actually a boost to announce him running very soon. now tom says, this is all part of an effort by democrats to weapon eyes the justice system against him. or is there any evidence of that? no, at this point, there is no evidence that the f, b, i's being weaponized by anybody. it actually is quite interesting or that the current f b, i chose shiva. christopher ray was appointed by donald trump himself even so they had a followed over some russia issues. but however stakes for the investigators,
4:05 pm
again are really high. so it would be really, really very bad if later emerges that the f, b i search was not conducted by the books. and i think the officials are very aware of that. what does this say then about the state that the country finds it itself in at the moment? i mean with the midterm elections just around the corner, right. we will have mid term elections in actually really 3 months, pretty much to the day. well, it is quite remarkable that donald trump himself broke the news about the surge on a social media platform. and he used a, the typical words to really trigger fear and anger with hidden within his fans. you know, we're back, i'm just coming back from see peg. this is the annual meeting of the fall, right, republican branch. and it was super obvious there that every republican who dares to criticize donald trump will be punished and politically destroyed. so it doesn't
4:06 pm
really come as a surprise that everybody who is criticizing donald trump was coming after donald trump is seen as someone is coming after the republican party. so there is a lot of support for donald trump after the search, even more so than before. randomly, washington bureau chief in it pull, thanks very much. and polls have just closed in elections in kenya though tis a choosing a new parliament and a new president. it's a tight race for the top job and the winner is facing big challenges. soaring prices and high unemployment have dominated campaigning hours of patients we needed for those who wanted to vote in kenya's tight election milk was up as i came here at 5 a n. i've lined up for so long. but lame lambda kia doesn't move. i know the importance of voting as to brain change, only work with the gift or any glitter my be legal. they came to cast
4:07 pm
a vote for new parliamentary county, governess and the next president for candidates, a competing for president. but the election is playing out in a tight race between our lead to the former prime minister rayleigh dingle, and the current deputy president, william roto, upon all of us with the choices of the people. absolutely, we don't have roots as main rival. reloading guides is 5th time as a presidential candidate, but this time he's backed by the outgoing president who are kenyata. that's despite a dingo leading the main opposition group. both of dinger and router are running on the promise of improving the economic situation. can years battling a soaring cost of living crises, many are having trouble paying for food or fuel. a 3rd of young people are unemployed. in the biggest economy in east africa, i'm here to vote. casa, the cost of living is too high. so i hope or when i'll vote for someone with the
4:08 pm
responsible i think he's going to lower the price of the election results are expected later this month. but with the race being so close, a 2nd round is likely and i'm drawing from nairobi by a routine horton, his executive director of amnesty international kenya. so thanks very much for your time today. amnesty kenya regularly calls on all parties to respect and protect human rights during the election process. are you seeing that happening with the far in the lead up to the elections? we've seen a fairly peaceful election though. unfortunate. we did lose 5 human beings and the lead up the elections, but the on, characteristically, they were not the consequence of fatalities by police officers. they were the civilian that them killed by civilians. not been a major change. we have been off the monitoring issue, like for example,
4:09 pm
hate speech and the information online and warningly. and the last one month we thought 45 percent increase in social media, 8 bits and the law. and of course, is the content related to intimidation of women candidates and they've been several at $700.00 and what the incident of verbal online and physical assault on women candidates. so it's been a mixed pitcher, but lots of the very few up until now. what about the voting process itself? when the last elections in 2017 didn't go well on many levels? is the process this time free and fair? would you say, in your opinion? well unfortunately it's of course much too early to declare that i mean the, the polls have just closed for those pulling stations that opened on time. there are a handful of falling stations, the book of new for a few more hours. and therefore, with that at the stage of many people just costing their vote. unfortunately,
4:10 pm
it seems to me that the, the number of voters is quite low, comparatively, to the number that had registered were expecting 22100000 kenyans and not just on the half of the population to come to the polls, but as of lunchtime or 4 hours ago, we really had just about 30 to 40 percent who do you think might be likely to interfere with the polling and then in what way? well, i think, you know, the elections in africa and particularly tenure they, there are 2 points with which you know, they, the elections can be rigged in that sense. the 1st ensuring that your opponents or your, the constituency, the less likely to vote for you don't get on, you know, don't register to vote. and secondly, that they don't vote in the elections. and this of course, will have been part of the, the last few months or so of i guess, games that politicians play to try and have a competitive edge on the others. but,
4:11 pm
you know, a number of people did register as i've mentioned. and today what we've been watching very carefully is the kim, the electronic, or the digital kits, and the extent to which they are working across the 44000 polling stations. so far we've learned that about 200 pulling stations will probably have to go manual, which means that they will be non digital in the way that they count the elections . but ultimately this will be a digital election. and i guess the main concern from that 2017 is that the integrity of the process will withstand the transmission and the timing and the transmission of the results in the next couple of days. all right, we have to leave it there from amnesty international. can you? thanks very much for your time. thank you. and let's take a look now at some of the other stories making news around the world. israeli forces have killed 3 palestinian, including a militant commander in
4:12 pm
a gun battle in the west bank town of nablus. israel has stepped up rates targeting palestinian militants following a string of attacks on the citizens. si, fi is in place between israel and islamic jihad in garza and taiwan military has held a live fire artillery drilled testing the islands defenses against an attack. china launched its biggest wargames in the region so far following the u. s. house. speak as controversial visit to taiwan last week. at least 8 people have died in torrential rain around the south korean capital sol, a down poor set of land slides and flooded subways. some areas lost power and many residents were stranded. although he say it's the heaviest rainfall in decades. germany health authorities have confirmed the country's 1st case of monkey monkey pox in a child. a 4 year old girl tested positive for the virus, though she currently has no symptoms. the child lives in

4:14 pm
nuke, and his team f documented. i see the systemic best out of all from destruction of health care as a part of civilian livelihood because it's not only about health care, it's old types of civilian objects or 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 tomorrow, excavators had to dig the grave. there were so many victims that they had to bury them in the body backs pablo, cough tanya, and his small n g o collect witness accounts, photos of damage, and remnants of weapons which they hold the evidence can be used in future litigation. they just work on cases where no ukrainian military were based nearby,
4:15 pm
you only then cove. tanya says, could such an attack a moment to a war crime attacks on health facilities like this one leaf, much more destruction than erect hospital believe 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, if children's hospital just across the street treated the injured of the cardiac center attack. and a dr. nikolai lord cabbage says he will never forget maliciously bewanda, but just a well trained trauma surgeon us, but we never, ever experienced this kind of bleeding wound, but animal. but everybody was screaming. i don't some and a kid. usually we put 5 of them here on the floor, but more and more were coming. it was chaos. ship was poplar 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,
4:16 pm
a bomb hit here. oh, cassette, the obstacle, the promo, it was a cluster bomb or want to lose if 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 de la from of a but discipline assume sharon is he sells cough tanya. the shrapnel he collected from her side they operated for hours. he says to get dozen south similar pieces of threatening out of the children's bodies movie roses, through with the doorbell. and i, or when you're here to this, no need to explain why when it justice or somebody needs to pay for what was done to that, to people like like mccollugh 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 and when they need,
4:17 pm
his evidence of tonya says it's ready and waiting. meanwhile, a series of explosions have struck near a russian air base on the crimean peninsula. videos, shade on social media show several blasts near the nova feder rifka russian military base russians defense ministry, claims ammunition detonated at the base cause the explosions, and the no one was injured. russia annex the peninsula from ukraine in 2014 of millions of europeans. the summer of 2022 has been sweltering, a dry spring and scorching temperatures manes. countries a gripped bind route of above 40 degrees celsius for the 1st time and rivers. a drawing up in the netherlands, the job and germany, the rhine has dropped so low that house boats stranded and commercial shipping may be halted. dw corresponded barbara visa reports from the banks of the rhine,
4:18 pm
near the border between germany and the netherlands. here it's ny megan, where the river barges come up from europe's biggest harbor rotterdam, carrying goods like coal, allan gee, and building materials, the shapell. but what we can see, of course, if we look at one of those barges that they are hardly loaded at all, they carry it only up to a surge off normal goods. they're writing really high out of the water here. this is one of the tankers, of course, that probably can just take it tiny amount of what it usually carries. so this shows a very clearly that shipping here is going to run out in a couple of days. it may be towards the next weekend because the water is the water is going down by the day the river is drying out. now if we look to the other side of the river there over there, the nice little beaches they are not supposed to be there,
4:19 pm
people enjoy them. but that is really where normally the river is where the water is. so this situation here shows clearly that the drought and all over europe has consequences even here in europe's biggest is shippable river in the river ride. and it is see clearly all experts agree is a sign and a consequence of climate change data only to provisional. i here and germany chance that all of shelters visiting the headquarters of the football association to push one of his pet projects. sholtes once for is demanding equal pay for men and women playing for germany's national teams. the women currently and far less at least nobody can claim that 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
4:20 pm
a few 100 fans tend to be present at frau and bonus league matches germany's highest women's lake. like here at vera bryant, the immense team sell out the 42000 seat of 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 women's bonus 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 f, a 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
4:21 pm
comes to equal pay. german chancellor. all of 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. spain is a head of the game. almost a dozen national associations now pied them male and female players equal bonuses. the german f 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 202120 as from the german football as as agent headquarters in frankfort is asphalt reporter max merrill sh max chancellor shouts and just addressed the media . what did he and the german people association have to say? there will chance assault sholtes essentially reiterate as his stance are made and
4:22 pm
said that he's made his stands clear, which is that for him, he wants to see equal pay at the national team level. and he does say that there is a difference to club football where players negotiate their contracts. and there's a very big difference in, in revenue and also interest as we saw in the report, he says, for him, the national team is more of a political thing. it's a symbolic thing, and that's what he's been angling for the d if b have stood firm with their line, which is that they pay according to the premiums over the bonuses, rather the prize money paid by fever and you a for in well cup and euro competitions at the team, director oliver be off when schultz originally made his comments, said he was surprised by the statements. wanted to invite him to clarify the numbers that's happened to day and the day a fee have. once again, made it clear that their priority is to have equal play rather than equal pay, and that policy to pay a percentage will continue. however, they have said they are open to looking at it. and they understand where schultz
4:23 pm
and others are coming from and saying that even if there is an equal revenue yet, especially at national team level, there is a chance to, to make a big difference and, and to adjust those pay numbers. we him, he touched on it there, but, and the women from my understanding are not saying they're not even necessarily asking for equal pay. is that right? yeah, and that's really important to note here. schoultz was actually a branded as a populist by some media outlets in germany when he called for equal pay and some oh, in the women's game have pushed back, notably, so a germany coach martina has taken book. she said she has to agree or disagree with the chancellor. rather, she 1st once equal play and what that means is better structures access to the same facilities like the training pitches here behind me, also coaching and staff, and also medical care women, for instance, anatomically more likely to get crucial ligament injuries, which can be a career and in football, if not treated correctly. now at the highest level when treated correctly,
4:24 pm
you can continue playing. and women want access to that, not just medical treatments, also training. and also visibility is a word that keeps on being repeated by germany's national team play as they want to have a fair shake out things and matina falls, tackling work. the germany coach also said she would like an adjustment. she would like to see men paid a little less in the national team level and women a little more. but she said women will likely never reach the scale of men's football. and she actually says it's probably a good thing. i want to play devil's advocate. i mean, i am a woman and so, you know, i mean, theoretically for this, but is it likely that they will be equal pay? and i mean, day, is there a point that women's board doesn't make as much money? should fe, mouse for women's thoughts? players be getting the same as an enzymes. yeah, i mean, we had in the report a yahoo vasquez saying equal pay comes with equal revenue and that, that is a fair point. i think at the national team level, as sholtes is pointed out,
4:25 pm
there is a slight difference to it and there is a political element. there was a cultural element, and we look at the numbers we saw this summer, or the german women's team played in a final against england at a sold at wembley, at here in germany alone, the domestic tv audience was 18000000. so the women's game has made shoot strides, particularly at the national team level. and half of the teams at the euro's had some form of equal pay agreement in place. germany still doesn't count to those nations which include usa and norway, which don't have big men's teams, but now also, spain and netherlands. if germany were to do this, it would be significant because germany have had success traditionally in both the men's and women's game winning multiple well cups, multiple euros being dominant, a dominant force in those game. so it would be hugely significant if germany were to do that right now. it doesn't look like the d. f. b's can adopt that policy any time soon. that max, thank you very much, max now. and he that database bought in frank that now to
4:26 pm
a very sad attribute, one of the best love voices in show business has fallen silent. australian singer and actress olivia newton, john has died and 73. she was a multi platinum selling recording artist that was best known for the musical movie grace, in which he stout office at john travolta. her husband said she was a symbol of hope for sharing her 13 year battle against breast cancer. and a reminder of the top stories were following for you this on the f. b i has right at donald trump's estate in florida, in an unprecedented swoop on the home of a former us president. the search is linked to an investigation into the removal of documents from the white house. tromp claims the right is an attempt to stop him running for office again in 2024. and polls have closed in kenya is the country alexa, new parliament and president. the former prime minister right out is ahead in the polls soaring prices and high unemployment dominated the campaign. watching
