that was really the last time the so in the life they're all gone. how i witnesses experienced the terrible events and this, the world should not forget the long shadow of the 1972 olympic massacre. start september 3rd on d. w with this is the w news line from berlin. the runner up in can use presidential election, breaks his violence and rejects the result. rather of dingo says he will challenge defeat to william roto but urged canyons to remain peaceful through the process. will bring you the latest from nairobi also on the program, unprecedented drug conditions,

dr. europe's waterways revealing the extent of the continents dependence on its rivers for trade and energy transport on the rhine. germany's key shipping artery is at risk of grinding to a halt and as explosions rock of russia military facility in crimea. moscow says it was sabotaged. ah, i'm fil gail. welcome to the program. the runner up a and kanyes presidential election has confirmed that he will contest the result. honor of danger has described the final outcome as a travesty. that shows blatant disregard for the constitution. he went on to say that the chair of the electoral commission acted unilaterally and illegally when he declared william rudo kenya's next president. but after a largely peaceful election process, he also called on kenyans to remain calm. for avoidance, no doubt,

i want to repeat that it totally and he loves the visuals, reject the presidential results, announced yesterday by myself. i won't go. mendoza. borders with many gun and keeping the peace the i'd them to continue to do so. today, i do not want to fully address was told is going forward. but suffice it to note that it will be pushing on constitutional and legal options available to us. let's go to add the w's. edith kamani in nairobi. welcome edith. so at the let tell us more about what right, right or danger has been saying today. well, he did see no uncertain terms that he has rejected. the results that were issued by the independent electoral boundaries commission, his grime is a,

with that commission, particularly with their chairperson or for legible cutty, who rayleigh claims behaved like a dictator. very strong, where they're claiming that he didn't give access to his commissioners. and the results of the presidency that he announced the results while as a result had still not been declared. and so these are some of the things that he was that he had a problem with regarding this commission. and he also said that their behavior and that behavior risks to put in kenya into the event that we saw in 2007 basically bloodshed over an election. but as you said, he also did one against this thing that he will go to the point where he is likely to file a petition to reject basically these results. so. so now we have what, what on the face of it looks like a contradictory situation where the election has been signed off by observers, which election commissioners on so sure about that's right, but it's because the observer's job is primary on august 9th,

a was primary on august 9th, this was election day. their main job is to see if people have things like election materials. if they have access to the polling station, if this bought a intimidation there, and as far as they're concerned, that part of the lecture was conducted freely and it was conducted fe. the commission has come in when we come to tanning and that's where our we have this dispute that we're seeing out of the 7 commissioners for have come out to see that they don't also agree with the figures that have been tabulated. they came out very late in the game, almost before the election was announced. to save that, the process towards the end was very opaque, repeating what we had rain a saturday, and that they weren't given access to some of the rooms. that they were wondering why the elections of being announced whilst it was still being counted essentially . and so they've come out to strongly said that, look, we're not in agreement with this, but buffalo because of the chairperson, was still able to announce the result. because the constitution doesn't say that the commissioners have to be in agreement. and he is the last white as

a returning officer at the national timing center. and that's why we have the situation we find ourselves in. okay, so this sounds like a mess. what happens now? it really does sound like a mess. and the supreme court is what is going to hopefully clear it, clear it all up at the moment. i don't think i have 7 days to file a petition. and in 14 days, the supreme court will have to have made a decision on whether or not the basically a horn, the results that have declared william to the president elect. and if they do agree with that, that he's going to go ahead and be sworn in. however, if they reject those results and then go ahead and side with rain or dinger than the country could be going back to the pools once more in 60 days or thank you for us. very clear. even kamani in nairobi, thank you. or summer record breaking heat is drying up rivers across europe with round half the continent facing an unprecedented drought

shipping company here in germany, preparing for the worst as the river right, drops to critical levels. authority say many vessels will be unable to navigate this case. shipping route, if the water drops much lower time to say it's clear that climate change is that leading to longer and more frequent periods of extreme heat and dropped the w samantha baker is in cologne. on the banks of the rhine are welcome samantha. normally we wouldn't see it. we wouldn't expect to see river levels drop until that late summer autumn. so just how bad are conditions this year? well, as you can see here in cologne and the water levels are quite low, the banks are creeping into the middle of the river here. and we are approaching the record levels that was last set in 2018. so this has been made worse by a prolonged periods of hot temperatures here in germany,

as well as very little rainfall in recent weeks. and of course, this is made even worse by the impacts of climate change. so you know that this is the record that may be broken or later this year, or even in the next week or weeks to come as it usually does reach that low point in october we still got a ways to go in the season. ok, so it could still get a lot worse. what would be the economic impact if shipping on the ryan came to a standstill? yes, well many companies move their goods up and down the ryan and they need about a meter and a half of water to move those large barges. so some companies already it, since there's not enough water in some points of the ryan, are having to reduce their cargo to as low as 25 percent of what they planned to carry. so this is creating delays in products, getting to where they need to be, and that increasing costs for companies,

including companies that ship things like coal, heating oil and diesel up and down this river. so that is only going to exacerbate the energy crisis here in germany. and we're seeing similar scenes, of course, across the continent and the bead across the world. and it's all being linked to climate change. yes, absolutely. climate change is making droughts worse. so it's making them both more frequent and more severe when they do happen. we are seeing this across the continent on the danube, on the la are in france on the po, river river in italy. and these are really low water levels. and it's, it's of great concern not just for shipping, but you know, anyone who relies on these rivers and so okay, we'll leave it there. thank you so much. samantha baker in cologne. thank you.

so as you've been hearing a job as judge is just a part of a much wider picture, his d. w report at william glue croft with an overview of the extreme heat, catastrophic drought and record wildfires disrupting many regions of europe this summer. the whole world is getting hotter, but data show europe is out pacing the global average, and that's leading to conditions rarely seen in an otherwise temperate part of the world. let's start with those wild fires that several european countries are battling of this year. has already been a record number of total fires since the european union started keeping track of 2006. now here we can see those blazers have so far burned, 660000 hector's of land. and if we compare it to the average to this point so far in the year, it's 3 and a half times more than the average over all of those years. now, what is 660000 factors? let's put that in perspective. that area is bigger than all of the city of istanbul,

and the fire season is not over yet. so what's making it so bad? fire officials are pointing to extreme drought and high temperatures, which are only getting hotter. and it's not just about hot weather or one hot summer, it's about a trend. we can look at germany as just an example. germany is of course, a fairly cool northern european country. you can see here average summer temperatures in germany between 1960 and now 2022. and yes, of course there are some cooler years, but the trend is unmistakable. it's going up. it's getting warmer and warmer and warmer with every year. starting in 1960 with a temperature of just under 16 degrees celsius and this year, not yet over. we don't quite know, but we may be reaching almost 19 degrees celsius with that high point back in 2003 at 19.67 degrees celsius. and remember these are just averages. these also include lowes in the night time heat, waves,

hot days and tropical nights are all on the rise. now that has health consequences for people living in these more frequent and more intense conditions, because the human body can't cool off and infrastructure that's made for a temperate zone like northern europe can't cope. but there's not on effects as well for all around the world. higher temperatures and less water can reduce economic productivity, destroy agriculture, and make trade more difficult and expensive. and that makes climate change anywhere . a problem for everyone. everywhere. william crew croft, while the netherlands, which borders germany is normally one of europe's wet east countries. but this summer it's also one of the countries battling a prolonged drought and water shortages with about a 3rd of its land below sea level. the countries particularly vulnerable to climate change and is being forced to adapt fast kettle coming to a want to hold dried out reservoir just outside the dutch town of devon. ter it's

very dry season now. and he could see the water levers very, very low. this canal would normally be bringing water into one of the netherlands biggest rivers. we are at the bottom of the civic normally there sir, me the water over here, but now you can see it's all, it's all gone. you can see a little bit water over there, fill me the sub stream, but this is all gone. and as the river i saw, you can see alo, it's mine and is responsible for the upkeep of the dike system in this region. and the extreme heat is not only drying out the waterways, but also endangering his levies. it is will be all covered with grass by now you can see it's sol, dirt so dry. now. you need to cross cover or because it's erosion, blankets or top of levy. or you can see what the future would look like if it stays this better. the dike needs water for it to stay safe and violent has to prepare for the change in conditions. yeah, look what,

what plans are gonna be better at the drought that with longer routes we want to learn from sort aponce parts of europe to if to learn from it moving 90 kilometers westward on the outskirts of the city of attrition. the picture seems quite different with pumping station is called the armed border, the supplier, and it's part of the climate adaptation system that we used to get sweetwater to the west of the netherlands. but was the rhine already running it extremely low levels? it looks to be helping one neighbor at the expense of another nature, agriculture and also the dikes need, though water from the rhine river. because if this pump stopped working, salt water from the sea will push into the coastal waterways. sharon is looking at a complete reversal of dutch water manage meant the history of the netherlands is a history of a flood defense. and that is how the dutch bales of the netherlands,

especially the western russian, far renewal below the sea level. but we also now have to prepare for more drove and more warm for more heat. however, central water distribution is of little help on the router family farm. normally the cow, sir. all they are walk outside and take the grass outside, but now there's nothing growing. so and golfer have to eat something so they stay inside an old aggress from last year and was his corn fields and his sorry, state farm a william young has little hope they can grow not feed ross, not ready to go and there's no rain. this throws out nothing grows, mix hopefully to the rain. we will hope that it will rain, but the weight goes on. the forecast is expecting yet more dry and hot weather. let's talk to samantha burgess, who's the deputy director of a copernicus,

climate change service in reading in the u. k. and they specialize in medium range at weather forecasting. welcome to the w. did you see the summer of european droughts and wildfire coming and thank he and good afternoon at yes, kind of say is he 3 monitors the climate, but we also have a seasonal forecast. so there there's no forecasts for the summer was full cost to be dry and warm and that certainly what we've seen say globally july 2022 is one of the 3 warmest july's on. we're on record with dr. an average across much of europe . right, and that was what you're expecting when you, when you just expecting warm and dry, we're expecting things to sort of reach the sort of crisis levels that would, that was c. see extreme events like we've seen throughout the summer. quite challenging to predict ahead of time. but what we have observed over the last 12

months to july 2022. it's been much dryer than average across all of the hydro. logical indicators, either much in western and southern europe. we're looking looking ahead as well. our multi modal ensemble as suggests that the seasonal forecast going forward into autumn and winter is also likely to be dry by is a little too early to be definitive. ok. so with that, that's, that doesn't sound like good news. but here's the thing. we see that marine chime every oxy river, about seeing the same sort of thing, a drought and record low water levels, a mo deploying cloud, seating rockets to try and bring rain. so perhaps you could explain to us what that involves. a why we're not doing that here in europe. say at the atmosphere can only hold a certain amount of moisture and cloud seating was the technology that was developed in the 19 seventy's. i'm not an expert in this space. it relies on silver nitrate

to seed clouds. the challenge with seeding clouds is you're actually moving moisture from one part of the atmosphere to the other. so your removing rain from one location to benefit another location in a complicated landscape such as europe, you could imagine that many people would get frustrated very quickly when the rain that they may expect it is being removed by someone else's. do you engineering options, right? so how should we prepare for the sort of quarter dryer, longer summers? what, what should rich companies who can afford to invest in infrastructure do about these dwindling water supplies? so really important question, and when we look at societal infrastructure, the, the infrastructure that we have right now isn't fit for purpose for our existing climate. so all of our infrastructure is in 203050 in some parts of europe, centuries old. and the climate that we faced back then was very different the

climate that we have now. so what we need to do to ensure that society is resilient, if each climate changes, is to make sure we can adapt our cities to take advantage of a natural solutions, say bringing nature into cities, t generate cooling, making sure we can have efficient buildings officers, infrastructure networks to enable the, the infrastructure to sustain these extreme events that we are likely to have more frequently and more intensely in the future. okay, thank you for that. it's very clear samantha burgess from the copernicus, climate change service. thank you. thank you very much. let's take a look at some more stories making headlines that today. police in pakistan say at least 20 people have died. after a speeding boss collided with an oil tanker, the crash trigger fire that ignited the tanker and quickly gulf both vehicles. 6 passengers survived a deadly traffic accidents are common in pakistan,

mainly because of speeding. on the full strength of the roads. indonesian president, jercker widow, has called on his country to be a bridge of peace between russia and ukraine in his annual states of the nation. address the president to hailed his country's growing stature as a leader on the global stage. his speech comes a day before indonesia celebrate 77 years of independence from the netherlands. watching the w news still come bloody january is how some people in kazakhstan, remember the protest and violent crackdowns that began the year. a month after the cat government brought in russia to help quote, the unrest some calling for more distance from moscow. for so, i mean, this is deborah has exploded in crimea. a week after similar blasts rocked a russian air base on the annexed peninsula. the russian defense ministry originally attributed the blast to a fire at a military warehouse,

but now says the damage was the result of sabotage. local officials say 2 people were injured while another 2004 move to safety. as a precaution, ukraine has neither confirmed nor denied any involvement in the blasts on the peninsula, which russia annexed illegally in 2014. when i correspondent and care of this young phillip shots, and we asked him how ukraine is reacting to these incidents. of course, hardly anybody here believes that it's just a strange series of accidents, and some ukrainian officials have made comments that leave some room for interpretation. let's say shortly after the explosions of presidential adviser tweeted that invaders have to understand that there is a high risk of death in occupied territories for them. so hardly anybody believes in accidents and for many ukrainians. crimea is one of

the most symbolic places of this war. they would welcome any possible attack on russian facilities there. as you know, crimea has been occupied by russia for the past 8 years. and president, lindsey has repeatedly made it clear that any efforts to win the war, any effort to take bag occupied territory must include crimea. he told his young philip shots, we'll take a look at some more stories related to ukraine. russia says that any un mission to inspect these apparition, nuclear power plant in ukraine, will not be able to travel through the capital cave because it's too dangerous. i say there are growing concerns about the safety of the reactor after it was been after it's been repeatedly struck by shelley, germany economy minister, robert ha, beck assigned the letter of intent with 4 large energy importers. and pledge to

supply the country's 1st to input terminals with liquefied natural gas to terminals on the german nor see coast to do to go into operation at the end of the year. a part of the countries efforts to reduce its dependence on russian energy. the bloody january's how some people in cassock stand, a remembers of violent crackdowns that began 2022 as protests against economic inequality in the country grew. the government brought in, brushing forces to suppress the crowds. once later, some people are calling for more distance from moscow and an independent investigation into the government's actions. so late lamented or walks past al marty's destroyed government building and ransacked presidential residents. it's her 1st time packet republic square since protest there half a year ago, changed her country and made headlines around the world. the presidential residence is now being torn down sula minova, a well known artist thinks that's wrong. can you please do that?

it's an attempt to obliterate the memory of what happened here in january of the browser for you. it was here that peaceful protests against price rises, escalated into a violent uprising, has exxon's president cassim jamal to cry as had it brutally repressed, leaving more than $200.00 people. dead suleiman never has created an artwork depicting the public square in red and gray at the exhibitions opening a politician asked her why read what a question she answered. neither casino men ever makes her work from old plastic bags. sometimes they have slogans that seem very fitting. hope all are the justice, but this is justice. unbelievable. the justice is exactly what we need. it's what's missing when we talk about this year's violence, an independent investigation. walker along the lawyer, the talk to one with a she quoted me more than that. that's a at the height of the protests tokai of calls for help from the defense alliance, led by moscow. russian soldiers descended on cassock. stand unsettling many well

cause it's a generally pride of their traditionally good relationship with russia. they don't want to get too close. for years cassock, sand has been walking a tightrope between closeness and distance from moscow that rushes war in ukraine has alarmed many. i was a doctor in the military and i'm against the wall. you can't just violate state borders. they were set out after the fall of the soviet union, including ukraine's borders. you just can't do that. sure. yeah. even vic has extends president took, i have a close ally of putin. it appears a line has been crossed in june. he said in front of the russian president, that cause extern respects the in by a lability of borders. you cause that's why we don't recognize her on her kosovo group. and this principle also applies to the ukrainian regions of little hans camden. yet, we consider to be quasi state entities, organs,

given us an affront that probably a calculated one says political scientist does seem, said pyre, if the room with a scholar, and yet it's a signal to the west, but also to collect society amazon after the events in january of many see a talk, i have now of putin something and will become politically dependent like the bella, russian president, lucretia, unco and talk. i have doesn't wanted to look like that. so lacy lament ever has also created an image of the devastated ukrainian city. as mary, you po, it says children in the glow of their laptops in a bomb shelter said a man ever wants people to take note or see yoga book. but they'll read that russia is practicing the old celebrate edition of the total life. and every one just shrugs her shoulders because they been trained to be helpless circle. it's the same here with that gloved, careful, silly, manifest as kaz, ax need to democratize their country. but that, that's only possible with enough distance from russia. oh,

i almost 50 years after native american actress. she little feather was booed at the oscars. the academy of motion, picture, arts and sciences has apologized to her. in 1973 actor marlon. brando sent little feather to refuse his best actor oscar in protest at hollywood treatment and depiction of native americans. and little feather was given just a minute to speak and received a mixture of applause and cheers. academy now says it recognizes her bravery. she responded in a statement saying we indians are very patient people. it's only been 50 years. as remind of our top story, this are ruffin canyon set. presidential election, lot of dingo has confirmed that he will contest the results. he's described the final count as a blatant disregard of the constitution. he says the chairperson of the actual commission acted unilaterally and illegally declaring his arrival with him. root of
