ah ah this is dw news life from berlin. the runner up in can years presidential election breaks the silence and rejects the results. while a danger says he will challenge his defeat to william roto but urged canyons to remain peaceful through the process of bringing the latest from nairobi. also on the program, unprecedented drug condition strapped europe's waterways and reveal the extent of

its dependence on rivers for trade. an energy transport on the rhine. germany's key shifting artery is at risk of driving to a halt as explosions rock of russia. the military facility in crimea. moscow says it was sabotaged. i'm the academy awards finally apologizes to a native american actress for the abuse. she suffered on stage is an oscar ceremony 50 years ago. ah. i'm fil gail. welcome to the program. the rudder up in kenya's presidential election has confirmed that he will contest the result rather a dingo has described. the final outcome is 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 a router canyon next president. but after a largely peaceful election process, he also called on kenyans to remain calm for avoided or don't want to repeat that it totally. and he loves the visuals. reject 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 for it. but suffice it to note that it will be pushing on constitutional and legal options available to us. when get more from the w's, if kamani in nairobi, welcome eat. if so tell us about the reaction center. what mr. a dinner has been

saying. mixed reactions. i would see feel, gail, you can expect that funky support as they are 100 percent. absolutely backing his decision, seeing that they do not actually trust the independent electoral boundaries commission. this is the body charged with conducting the election. and i think that they will follow him to the courts and do whatever it is that he asked them to do for those that do not support trailer however, they do see their views at rather his views differently. i mean, rain or didn't get, did see to the independent body there that they were not in fact independent that be all but made up the results that they released. i yesterday and she was very harsh, particularly when the chairperson of that body were full at cathy and comparing his actress to that of a dictator claiming that he lots of commissioners out of the presidential tally. so, you know, he's basically think that as far as is concerned, rain or dinner, there is no, we know there is no president elect. and when people who don't know what in here

that they're basically saying that he's the one was pulling the country back, forcing us into an election when people were not really in the mood for the 1st one . right for that. now we have what looks like an odd situation where the election has been signed off by observers, or which election commissioners, or og are so clearly divided about that's right, and it's because the observers, as just invited guests, external parties who don't have a stake in the election normally drawn from the e u or the e u, and their job is primarily on election day to make sure that electron materials are on the ground. that police stations are open on time, accessible to people who are differently abled. and so when they assess that, they see that it was indeed free fair and as far as they're concerned, also transparent. however, the commissioner's was mean job is to count the votes. how it's have something different to say, well, at least 4 out of the 7 commissioners. they're arguing that awful it because the chairperson did in fact make up these numbers that they were knocked out as we know,

dinner was claiming and they say that they don't agree with that results however, shall kathy is the returning officer and the constitution only applies to that he doesn't say anything about them having to agree as commissioners. but he does say that he has a final word as a returning officer, that's pulling station and that's why i was able to still go ahead and announce that result. so what happens next? what happens now is we wait and see if i know da is going to file a petition. he has 7 days to do that. and then the high court will have another 14 days, excuse me. the supreme court will then have 14 days to make a determination on that. should they agree that there is the result was indeed fair and go ahead and uphold this election. that william to the president elect will be a good be swanny. however, if they nullified this result, then we'll go back into an election about 60 days from then. thank you for that. it

is kamani in nairobi. now summer of record breaking heat is drying up rivers across europe. with around half the continent facing an unprecedented drought shipping companies here in germany, preparing for the worst as the river right, drops to critical levels. authority say many vessels will be unable to navigate the key shipping route. if the water drops much lower. scientists say it's clear that climate change is leading to longer and more frequent periods of extreme heat and drought. of the w is samantha baker is in cologne on the banks of the river. ryan, and i asked to how bad conditions are 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, 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 at large barges. so some companies already it, since there's not enough water in some points of the rhine, 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. i'm, we're seeing similar scenes, of course, across the continent on the data 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 mo, both more frequent and more severe when they do happen. we are seeing this across the continent on the danube, on the, in france and the po, river river in italy. are 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. ok, we'll leave it there. thank you so much. samantha baker in cologne. thank you. or

the netherlands which borders germany is normally one of europe's wettest countries . but this summer is also one of the countries battling a prolonged drought and water shortages with about a 3rd of its land below sea level countries, particularly vulnerable to climate change. and his boy being forced to adapt quickly. kettle coming to a water hole dried out reservoir just outside the dutch town of devon, ter, it's very dry season our and you can 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 this upstream, 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 will be all covered with grass right now you can see it's sol, dirt so dry. now. you need the grass cover 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 plants are gonna be better at the drought that that longer roots, we want to learn from salt upon spots 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. this pumping station is called the iron border, the supplier, and its part of the climate adaptation system that we used to get sweetwater to the west of the netherlands. but was the rhine already running at extremely low levels?

it looks to be helping one neighbor at the expense of another nature, agriculture, and also the dikes need newer 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 management. the history of the metal ends is a 3 of a flood defense. and that is how the dutch bills of the netherlands, especially the westland, russian bar renewal below the sea level. but we also now have to prepare for more drought 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 calls her have to eat something, so they stay inside an ether,

old aggress from last year. and was his cornfields in his sorry, state farm a william young has little hope they can grow not feed, ross knocking days ago, and there's no rain the stress out. nothing grows nickname 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 will . samantha burgess is deputy director of vehicle probably because climate change service in reading in the u. k. which specializes in medium range weather forecasting. so did her organizations see this? some is extreme weather events coming out. yes. kind of a say see 3 monitors the climate and, but we also have a seasonal forecast. so there, there's no forecast for this. summer was forecast to be dry and warm and that certainly what we've seen. so globally, july 2022 was 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 a warm dry we're expecting things to sort of reach the sort of crisis levels that would, that was c a c, 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 either 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. when we see that live in china, the young c river that's seeing the same sort of thing, a drought and record low water levels. and they're 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 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 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 he to climate changes, is to make sure we can adapt our cities to take advantage of natural solutions, say 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. i'll take a look at a couple more stores making headlines today are polish. firefighters has now become $200.00 tons of dead fish from the river odor, which forms part of the german polish border. more have been removed downstream in germany. scientists are still baffled about the cause of the deaths. the german tests have confirmed mercury levels are not to blame a poland who has also sent samples to other european laboratories. the race for brazil's presidency has officially opened a former pro president, a new eve in masula, the silver launched his bed with a campaign video. a recent poll gives the leftist icon 12 percentage point lead over far right incumbent giant boston arrow ahead of the election in october. this is the w news, a life of berlin still to come. 10 years after one of the party, darkest days of south africans,

according to justice for the dozens of mine workers who were striking for a fair wage. and they were brutally shot by police or so, and amish and i, munitions. deborah has exploded in crime me a week after similar blasts rocked a russian and based on the annex to peninsula the russian defense ministry originally attributed the blasts a to a fire at a military warehouse. and now says the damage is the result of sabotage. local officials say 2 people were injured while another 2000 who moved to safety ukraine has not confirmed nor denied its involvement in the blasts on the peninsula, which russia annexed in 2014. the w corresponded young philip shows in cave, told us more about your crime traction. 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. so shortly after the explosion of presidential adviser

tweeted, let invaders have to understand that there is a high risk of death in occupied territories for them. so oddly, 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 so president lensky has repeatedly made it clear that any efforts to win the war, any effort to take back occupied territory must include crimea, nelson shots, and some other stories related to ukraine. russia says that any un mission to inspector ukraine's as apparition, nuclear plant will not be able to travel through the capital key if, because they say it's too dangerous. a growing concerns about the safety of the

reactor, which has been repeatedly struck by shelley, germany's economy minister, robert har back has signed the letter of intent before large energy importers. they've pledged to supply the country's 1st import terminals with liquefied natural gas. the 2 terminals on the german north sea coast are due to go into operation at the end of the year. and part of the country's efforts to reduce its dependence on russian energy is dalia says it's taking down all public soviets and memorials in the majority. rushers russians, russian speaking city of nava world war 2, soviet tank was removed on tuesday. the government cited rising tensions of the cues. moscow of trying to exploit the past to divide society in a quarter of the baltic states as citizens are ethnic russians. today marks 10 years since 34 striking miners were gunned down by police in south africa, the american and massacres. one of the darkest chapters in the countries post

apartheid era. but victim say they are still seeking accountability and proper compensation. the w's address increase reports are from american it's heart forms of all, all maggie d one not to come back here to the place where his life changed for ever. be very bad for me seriously. because the lab one will fly. i saw death wolf. i was coming to me, eat, eat, or the lap tea, the pain that i felt is the same as if the earth was going to be covered in darkness. i saw some one shot right in the head. i couldn't grease, it's something i will never forget. so i enjoy again these and alia barrow. never forget any, any time. 10 years ago he and other mine employees were striking for higher wages and better working conditions. when the strike turned to violence, police opened fire 9

bullets. it's maggie, the one are seen here in green. he survived, but 34 of his co workers didn't up until now, not a single police officer faced consequences for the massacre. 10 years on a few things changed. he and mary canna, a new company took ownership of the mine, the seller is of most people employed here where increased. but almost everyone here says that living conditions didn't change for the majority. right next to where the shooting happens. there still is an informal settlement. but we're lucky, the one i left here for a long time. people you say they have not really benefited from the resources that have been extracted from the region. we have bowers in jack on the but they both were struggling. it's just getting worse. nothing is getting better, nothing is changing in our life. we're not getting any thing so it would be better if we at least get social housing with our proper toilet these glasses me quickly.

similarly at the p le toilet has had his baggy zacalo. maggie d one are fought hard to get himself fled into celery again from the mining company . despite the trauma and constant pain that he only manages with medication. i'm off work, man. that is why the people of america and i, you court me, that debt min walkie ish means me, i'm a strong legacy one. i wants to continue his fight for justice fair compensation, better living conditions and to finally recover from the pain and trauma. almost 50 years after native american actress a sheen little feather was booed at the oscars academy of motion, picture arts and sciences has apologized to her in 1973 actor marlon. brando said little feather to refuse his oscar for best actor in protest at holly was treatment

and depiction of native americans. little feather was given just a minutes to speak and received a mixture of applause and cheers. academy now says it recognizes her bravery little feather responded in a statement saying that we indians are very patient people. it's only been 50 years . we can take a closer look at this with david levitz from d w. a culture desk that welcome to the studio a david. so what exactly is the academy apologizing for basically fob, it seems there apologizing for not having had her back for the last 50 years since this event took place. it's one of the most notorious moments in oscars. history, it's an event that really changed her life for the worse. it ended her acting career. and basically she was for this very sincere appearance, ridicule that the oscars evening. and the ridicule went on for years. people were saying that she was marlon brando's mistress, saying that she was a stripper, that he'd hired to come to deliver the speech for him. and they were also big

celebrities making fun of that. so some of the big stars at that, that night, that oscars event, like raquel welch and clint eastwood who were on the stage made jokes. they made snide comments about her and little feather herself. says that john wayne, when she made her speech was back stage. and she says it took 6 security guards to hold him back, basically from potentially attacking her. so there is a lot of tension and a lot of inflamed rage and the academy. now finally saying that the treatment that she received was, was quote, unwarranted and unjust. it seems obvious now, but it's, it's so obvious that it's, you know, they decide to come out and say it. and she was, she was basically unknown at that at that time. but that changed overnight. the oscars changed little feathers life, but also at the same time, she changed the oscars right? because she was the 1st person to make

a political speech at the oscars. which until so she and little feather was not a political event. now of course, we're used to seeing actors and filmmakers get up and, and make political speeches. but at the time, viewers around the world, it was also the 1st globally broadcast oscar ceremony. they didn't really know what to make of it. you know, they, they saw marlon brando, win the oscar for best actor for the godfather. and then suddenly here comes, says she and little feather and traditional garb. she's got these 8 pages. she's holding the speech that marlon brando gave to her to deliver. she refuses the oscar and the directors told her she had just 60 seconds and then they were going to forcibly remove her from the stage. though she had very little time to make this this statement. and it was very confusing to a lot of people. but despite the ridicule, it did mean a lot of people who felt seen by it at the time. and of course, the academy has seen a lot of criticism, has received

a lot of criticism over the last years. and the oscars show itself. huge dropping ratings is this, i'm just trying to dig themselves out. well, i think they are trying to dig themselves out, but that also doesn't mean that it's the wrong thing to do. i think this is an apology that's, that's been a long time coming in. and i think that the oscars they want to be relevant for things other than will smith punching people at the oscar ceremony. but they've got a lot of work to do and they've, they're continuing to receive criticism for how they deal with their own history. even if we look at the actress, hattie mcdaniel, the 1st black performer to win an oscar in 1940, who wasn't allowed to sit with her. gone with the wind white co started. so there's still a lot of there's still a lot of efforts to be made. let's just say i don't think those efforts are over yet. thanks for that to david david levitz from d w culture. let me remind you of our top story this our hey ruffin. kenya's presidential election has confirmed that he will contest the

results by the agenda has described the outcome as a blatant disregard of the constitution. and that the chair of the actual commission acted unilaterally and illegally and declaring william router the women . this is dw, live from bad in just a moment. melissa john will have news asia, and i'll be back at the top of the world news. i'm good with with
