ah ah ah ah, this is dw news lived from berlin, the fbi i'm raids, donald trump's florida estate for my u. s. president claims agents broke into his safe at the mara longer complex. trump son says they are looking for documents taken from the white house. also coming up or change in kenya as voters elect a new president and new parliament. we look at the front runners and assess what
6:01 pm
the outcome might made and equal pay for equal foot work. women soccer styles, demand salaries to match the men's. now even the german chancellor is shipping in ah, i'm rebecca writ as welcome to the program. the f b i has rated donald trump's state in florida and an unprecedented swoop on the home of a former american president. trump claims agents broke into his safe at the mar longo complex. he's already under investigation for allegedly removing official records from the white house, but from claims. the raid is aimed at preventing him from running for president again in 2024 palm beach, florida. this is the scene that followed the 1st ever f b. i search of the next president's outside this luxury resort owned by donald
6:02 pm
trump. his fan base is rallying in protest. they believe the f. b i is carrying out a political agenda. why ministration? the democrats, a weaponized thing to be on an asthma. okay. and i don't understand why the f b i came because what's in there in coming to this president's house? someone 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 our money 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 allegedly violating the presidential records act of 1978 legislation that makes it
6:03 pm
illegal to remove any documents from the white house. penalties for breaking records law include disqualification from holding federal office and a w. washington bureau chief in as paul has been following the story. and i asked him how serious this convey for donald trump will 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 to the former president, that donald tribe committed a crime. but a time is on the side of the old one because it will take months of nods years before the president might be prosecuted. and republicans already said that they will stall the committee to investigate the search 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 bear from running for office.
6:04 pm
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 weaponized the justice system against him. is there any evidence of that? no, at this point there is no evidence that the f b i is being recognized by anybody. it actually is quite interesting that the current f b. i chose shiva. christopher array was appointed by donald trump, himself even so they had followed over some russia issues. but however stakes for the investigators, 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 mid term elections just around the corner,
6:05 pm
right. we will have midterm elections are 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 are 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 c packs. this is the annual meeting of the far 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 really come as a surprise that everybody who is criticizing donald trump, who is 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. my daily washington bureau chief in it's paul, thanks very much. poles have closed in elections in kenya, voters choosing
6:06 pm
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 the campaigning hours of patients we needed for those who wanted to vote in kenya's tight election millsap us. i came here at 5 am. i've lined up for so long when lame lender q doesn't move. i know the importance of voting as to brain change, only work the gift or any glitter my body legal. they came to cast a vote for new parliamentary county governors 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 dinger, and the current deputy president william roto, upon all of us to the spring,
6:07 pm
retracing from ugly, to be done today. however, it is main. rival ry loading guides is 5th time as a presidential candidate. but this time he's backed by the outgoing president who are kenyatta. that's despite a dingo leading the main opposition group. both of dingo, andrew to are running on the promise of improving the economy situation can years battling a soaring cost of living crises, many a 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, cause the cost of living is too high. so i hope or when i'll vote for someone that exposed, but i think he's going to lower the price of like the election results i expected later this month. but with the race being so close, a 2nd round is likely wiley or i spoke to iran, grew houghton is the executive director of amnesty international kenya in nairobi.
6:08 pm
and i asked him with all parties were respecting human rights during the election? well, so far in the lead up to the elections, we've seen a fairly peaceful election, though. unfortunate. we did lose 5 human being and the lead up the elections, but the on, characteristically, they were not the consequence of the fatalities by police officers. they were the civilians that them killed by civilians and that's been a major change. we have been off the monitoring issue like for example, hate speech and the information online and warningly. and the last one month, we saw a 45 percent increase in social media, a speech and the law. and of course is the content related to intimidation of women candidates. and they've been several at $700.00, what the incident of eval 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 in the
6:09 pm
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 poly 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, 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 out. who do you think might be likely to interfere with the polling? and then in what way?
6:10 pm
well i think, you know, the elections in africa and particularly tenure they, there are 2 points at which you know, they, the elections can be rigged in that sense. the 1st ensuring that your opponents or your constituencies are 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 you know, a number of people did register as i've mentioned that today, what we've been watching very carefully is the kim system, the electronic, or the digital kits and the extent to which they are working across the 44000 polling station. so far we've learned that about $200.00 pulling stations will probably have to go manual, which means that they will be non digital in the way that the company elections. but ultimately this will be
6:11 pm
a digital election. and i guess the main concern from that 2017 at the, 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, and we'll have to leave it there from amnesty international. can you? thanks very much for your time. thank you. let's take a look at some other stories making news around the world. israeli forces have killed 3 palestinians, including a militant commander in a gun battle in the west bank town of nablus. israel has stepped up, right targeting palestinian militants following a string of attacks on it. citizens, sci fi is in place between israel and islamic jihad in garza. turkey is resuming its oil and gas search in the eastern mediterranean, sending off its largest drilling ship after a 2 year break. turkey is embroiled in a dispute with grief and cypress over maritime borders. athens accuses turkey of illegally flooring for gas in the region. at least 8 people have died. interracial

rain around the south korean capital sol, the down poor set of landslides and flooded subways. some areas lost power. many residents with stranded authorities say it's the heaviest rainfall. in decades, french moraine experts are attempting to rescue a beluga while that became trapped in the same river. last week. the arctic mammal has strayed up river nearly half way to paris. rescue was se it's malnourished and must be moved to salt water. immediately the rushes war in ukraine and russia has repeatedly denied targeting civilian infrastructure in its attacks. but the destruction on the ground tells a different story. new cranes, government says hundreds of hospitals and clinics have been damaged. d w is a big it ashika reports as deputy health minister public of tanya worked for years to rebuild ukraine's health care system. in his new job, he documents it's destruction. this used to be the chinese cardiac center until it
6:13 pm
was totally destroyed by a russian airstrike. that strike is one of more than 180 hospital attacks cofton nuke and his t f documented. i see the systemic read that an open destruction of health care as a part of civilian livelihood because it's not only about healthcare, 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 at 47 people that day, the city was under constant selling. a resident tells us over excavators had to dig the graves 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,
6:14 pm
photos of damage, and remnants of her pencils lunch with us. they hold 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 amount 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. duct us at the chimney, if children's hospital just across the street treated the injured of the cardiac center attack and day dr. nikolai lord cabbage says he will never forget malicious . but one of the just, 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, you 3, we put 5 of them here on the floor,
6:15 pm
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, certainly, obstacle to pamela. it was a cluster bomb or want to lose the ammunition parts were everywhere for the war. fortunately, there had been an air raid alarm or for the cluster attack. so the children were in the basement. if not, we could have had 237 death maxima, but do sicknesses himself. if they, if he sells coff tanya, the shrapnel he collected from their site, they operated for hours. he says to get 1000 south similar pieces are threatening out of the children's bodies mobile author 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 wasn't on to that to people like like mccollugh or his patients under
6:16 pm
way out of chinese. we pass another destroyed hospital. it may take years before an international court tribunal starts dispensing justice and when they need his evidence, coff tanya says it's ready and waiting. meanwhile, crime in all socrates, say, one person has been killed and several others injured. after a series of explosions rocked a russian air base on the peninsula. videos, shade on social media, show several glass near the nova federico facility rushes. defense ministry claims ammunition designated at the base cause the explosions, russia annex crimea, from ukraine in 2014 german chancellor. all of schultz has visited the headquarters of the football association to push one of his pet projects. schoultz wants equal pay for men and women playing for germany's national teams. who women
6:17 pm
currently earn far less. 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 both crowd sizes and tv audiences. club football is another story though. just a few 100 fans tend to be present at frau and wonders. league matches germany's highest women's league. like here at vera prime. the men's 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 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,
6:18 pm
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, there seems no way around this equation. however, national teams and associations have the opportunity to set an example when it comes to equal pay. german chancellor, olaf 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 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, 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. huh. well here i spoke to dad, every cars on at max merrill,
6:19 pm
who was at the german football association headquarters. i asked him what chancellor shouts and the german f i had say. there will chance assault sholtes essentially reiterate as his stance are made and said that he's made a 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, a 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. f. 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 if they have,
6:20 pm
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 sholtes 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 i mean, the women from my understanding are not saying they're not even necessarily asking for equal pay. is that right? yeah, 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 ones equal play and what that means is better structures access to the same facilities like the training pitches here behind me,
6:21 pm
also coaching and staff and also medical care. women are, 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, 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 it isn't likely that they will be equal pay. and i mean to, is there a point that women's board doesn't make as much money should famous for women? sports players be getting the same as the men's names. yeah, i mean,
6:22 pm
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 has pointed out, there is a slight difference to it. and there is a political element. there is 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,
6:23 pm
a dominant force in those games. so it would be hugely significant if germany were to do that right now. it doesn't look like the d f b 's gonna adopt that policy any time soon. that max, thank you very much, max now. and he does it have these faults? in fact, it was raining, williams says, the count down to her retirement from tennis has begun. the 40 year old who has 23 grand slam titles to her name, posted the comment in the run up to the us open, which is to to start late. this month, williams wants to focus on other things, including motherhood. he previously hinted at her retirement to report that the toronto open, where she claimed her 1st singles when in more than a year. i guess there's just a lighter front ha. explained to me what, what the light is to you, what the light represents rhythm. yeah. i love playing though. it's like, it's amazing but you know, so i can't do this for ever. so it's just like sometimes you just want to try your
