born modern lifestyle and the mediterranean meeting, people actually hearing their dreams ready to me journey this week on w. ah, this is d, w. news life from bar lane, the rudder up in can years. presidential election breaks the silence and to reject the result rather dangerous as he will challenge his defeat to william roto but urge canyons to remain peaceful through the process of bringing the latest from nairobi also on the program, unprecedented drug conditions,

dr. europe's waterways revealing the extent of the continents dependent on each rivers for trade and energy transport on the rhine. germany's k shipping artery is at risk of riding to a halt and explosions rock of russian military facility in crimea. moscow says it was sabotaged. ah, ah, i'm so gale. welcome to the program. the runner up in kenya's presidential election has confirmed that he will contest the results by that danger has described the final outcome as a travesty, but shows a blatant disregard for the constitution. he went on to say that the chair of the electoral commission acted unilaterally and illegally, and he declared william roto kanyes next president. but after a largely peaceful election protest, he also called on kenyans to remain calm for avoided. oh,

don't. i want to repeat that it totally and he loves the visuals. the jack the presidential results announce 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. on dw is edith kamani is in nairobi, and she told us that more about what riley or danger had been se 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 when they're claiming that he didn't give access to his commission and the results of the presidency that he announced the results. while other results 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, that behavior risks to put in kenya into the event that we saw in 2007 basically bloodshed over an election. but as you said earlier, he also did one against this thing, but 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. but which of action commissioners on so sure about that's right, but it's because the observer's job is primary on august 9th or was primary on august 9th. this was election day. there mean job is to see if people have things

like electron materials. if they have access to the polling station, if is bought a intimidation there, and as far as they're concerned, that part of the electrical is conducted freely and it was conducted fe the commission of coming 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 or say to day, and that they weren't given access to some of the rooms. that they were wondering where the electrons will be announced whilst it was still being counted essentially as so they've come out to strongly say, but look, we're not in agreement with this. but buffalo to 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 training 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 no longer 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 is 60 days or thank you for that very clear. even kamani in nairobi, thank you. our summer reco breaking heat is drying rivers across europe. with round half the continent facing an unprecedented drought. shipping companies in germany are preparing for the worst us. ryan drops to critical levels . authorities say many vessels will be unable to navigate this case. shipping route,

if the water drops much lower. so the to say it's clear that climate change is leading to longer and more frequent periods of extreme heat and drought. the w samantha baker is in cologne on the banks of the rhine. i asked her how bad conditions are 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 that in 2018. so this has been made worse by for 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, this is the record that may be broken up 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 plan to carry . so this is creating delays in products, getting to where they need to be, and that increasing costs for company is 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. i'm. we're seeing similar scenes, of course, across the continents and indeed across the world. and it's old 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 war in france on the po, river river in italy. these 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. okay, we'll leave it there. thank you so much. samantha baker in cologne. thank you. was we've been hearing germany, strauss is just part of a wider picture and his d. w reporter will include croft with an overview of the extreme hate catastrophic drought and record wildfires that are disrupting many regions of your ism, 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. now 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 is timble 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 will and grew close. well, the netherlands which borders germany is normally one of yours, wettest countries, but this summer it's also one of the countries battling i prolonged drought and water shortages with about a 3rd of its land below sea level. the countries particularly vulnerable to climate change, and he's being forced to adapt fast kettle coming to a war to whole, to dried out reservoir just outside the dutch town of devonshire. 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 the 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. and it will be all covered with grass by now you can see it's sol, dirt so dry. now. you need to cras cover because it's erosion blankets or top of levy. or you can see what a 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 as a drought that that longer roots, you want to learn from sort upon spot of europe to if to learn from it moving 90 kilometers westward. on the outskirts of the city of utrecht. the picture seems quite different. this pumping station is called the on 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 with 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 no 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 build to the netherlands, especially the western rushing far below the sea level. but we also now have to prepare for more drop and more warm for more heat. however, central water distribution is of little help on the router family farm. normally the cow, so all they are walk outside and take the caress outside,

but now it has not been growing so and also have to eat something. so they stay inside an old address 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 ring in the strays out. nothing grows, mix me over 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 or samantha burgess is deputy director of the copernicus, climate change service in reading in the u. k. which specializes in medium range, weather forecasting. so did her organization see this summer's extreme weather events coming at? yes. kind a say see 3 monitors the climate on, but we also have a seasonal forecast. so there is 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 warmus 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 ssl crisis levels. that would, that was c. see extreme events like we've seen throughout a 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 that much in weston 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 moving chime of a young c river about seeing the same sort of thing, a drought and record low water levels, america 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 hotter 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 a $23050.00 in some parts of europe, centuries old. and the climate that we faced back then was a very different the climate that we have now. so what we need to do to ensure that society is resilient, if he to climate changes, is to make sure we can adapt our cities to take advantage of natural solutions. so bringing nature into cities, t generate cooling, making sure we can have efficient buildings, offices, 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 story start making headlines today. we'll start in pakistan where police say at least 20 people have died. after a speeding birth collided with an oil tanker, the crush trigger, the fire that ignited the tanker and quickly engulf both vehicles. 6 people survived. deadly traffic accidents are common in pakistan, mainly because of speeding on the poor state of the roads. and a chinese naval ship has a doctor shalanda, despite security concerns from india and united states. china says the ship is a research vessel, but india is it could be used to spy on the region. like a strategic location in the indian ocean has seen both india and china, a vi for influence over the island nation. i'm the nation's deco has

exploded in crimea a week after a similar blast, a rock to russian, and based on the annexed peninsula. the russian defense ministry originally attributed the blasts to a fire at a medicine warehouse. now they say the damage is because of sabotage. local officials say 2 people were injured, while another 2000 were moved to safety. ukraine has neither confirmed nor denied any involvement in the blood on the peninsula, which russia annexed illegally. in 2014. the w correspondent, young philip shows, in keith told us more about ukraine's reaction. 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 that shortly after the explosion of presidential adviser tweeted that invaders have to understand that there is

a high risk of death in occupied territories for them. so, so hardly anybody believes in accidents and for many ukrainians try me as 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. busy and president, lindsey has repeatedly made it clear that any efforts to win the war, any effort to take back occupied territory must include crimea. philip charles in cave, now to some other stories related to ukraine. russia says that any un mission to inspect this apparition, nuclear power plant, will not be able to travel through the capital cave because they say it is too dangerous. and a growing concerns about the safety of the reactor, which has been repeatedly struck by shelley, germany's economy minister,

robert hardback assigned a letter of intent with 4 large energy importers. if pledge to supply the countries 1st, the import terminals with liquefied natural gas, the 2 terminals on the german, north, the coast to do to go into operation at the end of the year. they're part of the countries efforts to reduce dependence on russian energy. see nighted states in today's primary elections in wyoming are being seen as a test of how important and endorsement from the former president. donald trump, is for republican voters. this is ahead of november's crucial mid term elections. wyoming has become a political battlefields, republican area to hagaman, who is endorsed by donald trump, is challenging of a republican incumbent. this cheney with cheney played a leading role in the congressional committee investigating the january 6th attack on the capital. we can join d w as in

a poll who's in wyoming state capital shy and welcome is that tell us more about these 2 candidates. so this chain is really part of the republican royalty her father. dick cheney was the vice president or 2 george w bush. she is in politics since many, many years. she's known to be super conservative on many stands. she was elected as the wyoming congresswoman in 2016. and i feel it's quite interesting. she was one of the most loyal are politicians to support, or donald trump supporting nearly everything of his wishes, so to speak, in congress that obviously has changed ever since. she was one of the 1st republicans to condemn his involvement in the general 6 riots than on the other hand, there's harriet hagueman. she was basically running her whole adult life, her own law firm here in the state capitol, cheyenne, as she was close friends with lightless cheney. we see we have many,

many videos where, where they introduce each other and refer to each other as friends. but then afterwards, ellis cheney kind of turned her back towards a donald trump. he donald trump, himself endorsed her to become the challenger of this cheney. and ever since she is travelling, why ami wyoming and fighting a booth with really conservative stands against, for example, environmental protection and tax cuts is fighting for the seed and the congress. right. so those are the candidates that now we'll take a look at your report about the state venus, and then we'll come back to wyoming is known for its spice ons cowboys, and never ending skies. it is the least populated state and politically deep, red 70 percent voted for donald trump in the last election. the western state has hardly ever been in the focus of political attention,

but bad has changed dramatically. wyoming is now a key, political battlefield because of the fight within the republican party. this chain is enemy number one for trump, loyalists ever since she became one of the 1st republicans to condemn the former president for his involvement in the storming of the capital. on january 6th, we meet voters in a downtown coffee shop in the states, capital cheyenne to understand the division, to what this means for the job in wyoming. if we go down this road is it becomes a party of extremists and we can't count on extremists to make solid policy. we really don't like that. wyoming really voted heavily for trump. and then she takes this path where she denies trump due process. i think that's where america is, where we're at a point now where we have to vote for people and the character that they are vote for their integrity and,

and let the policies work themselves out the way they always have at stake in this election. the battle between democratic institutions and the profound influence that president trump and his supporters still have among republicans. so in his pole, if today's primary, likely to be a close affair. now all the calls say that sir lis chaney, will big lose at least this he likes and many speculate that she will come back maybe start her own party. maybe we'll be running for president as an independent. it's very, very unlikely that she's able really and to fight or donald trump's endorsement of hagueman and phil. this is the interesting thing here in wyoming and actually also in alaska. they also do have a primary today where a trump in door sarah palin, is running this. the question here is how strong is the influence donald trump has

on the republican party? you know, we have to keep in mind as 7 of those who voted 7 of those republicans who ordered her to impeach him, have lost their seeds or crit politics. so he still is very, very influential. and it seems as this will be proven here today in the primaries in my yawning, again in his folder in shan, i in the united states. thank you so much. sandra, mind of our top story of this, our running up in kenya's presidential election has confirmed that he will contest the result of a dang, as described outcome as a blatant disregard of the constitution. and check off the electoral commission, acted unilaterally and illegally in declaring william router with
