[000:00:00;00] ah ah ah ah business dw news lying from berlin, hugh as lawmakers ordered donald trump to give evidence about the january 6th storming of the u. s. capital. a former president is required to appear next month at the inquiry into the riot,

but it's not yet clear whether hell comply. also coming up, nigeria warrens, i'm looming hunger crisis. the worst flooding in a decade leaves more than a 1000000 people. homeless with fields destroyed, farmers say it's impossible to grow crops. and ukraine's president accuses russia planning to blow up a vital hydro electric damp followed him. your zalinski warns hundreds of thousands are in danger of flooding the occupied curse on reach and an injury, headache advocates, har world cub. why several big names have already been ruled out of next month tournament. and a more coming up in our sports news. ah . only cough really good to have you with us. we start with a dramatic day in washington where lawmakers have ordered donald trump to give

evidence at the inquiry to the january 6 attack on the u. s. capital. a congressional committee has told trump to hand over documents and testify under oath next month. it says there's overwhelming evidence that the former president personally orchestrated the effort to overturn the results of the 2020 election hours earlier. trump's one time chief strategist, steve bannon, was sentenced to 4 months in jail for refusing to cooperate with the same committee . and let's break it all down with our washington correspondent, curly not to more currently not. let's start with trump at the committee has now formerly subpoena at him. this has been a long time in the making. why now? well it is quite interesting to see that the subpoena comes the in a day where they have also sentence the one of the trumps closest advisors,

safe bannon ad to go into jail for 4 months. so let me just show you an equal the document. the committee, the, this is who is investigating the jury 6 attack of the capital d, right. and this so commend where they issue the subpoena that we have interviewed more than a 1000. witnesses reviewed over a 1000000 documents and conducted public hearings and vindicated our rights in court against those who have tried to keep relevant information from the select committee. so they say in this segment that they have assembled during the overwhelming evidence including from a dozens of trumps former appointees. and a staff that he personally orchestrated and over saw an effort to overturn the 2020 presidential election. they conclude saying that they are request trump's testimony and documents the relevant documents in his possession on these topics by november

. 4th, followed by his testimony by november 14th. how likely is you to cooperate? that is the big question he called donald trump has 3 options. the 1st one is a donald, trump can comply the subpoena, meaning he would cooperate with the committee, and he would testify and give them the documents they're asking for. but this is not very likely as you might think. the 2nd option is that donald trump's legal team can try and negotiate with the committee, meaning that they could submit some of the documents, but not all of them. and they will, of course, in 1st place, try to keep you out of testifying in front of the committee. that committee will probably not engage in any kind of negotiation. and the 3rd option is that donald trump could really refuse to testify and say no way, i'm not going to testify and i'm not going to submit any kind of documents. and this is all nonsense. and we have seen this coming from one of his closest advisors,

as, as he already mentioned, who was also seen, i'm talking about stefan and who refused to appear before the committee. and this could have also for donald trump as we have seen, severe consequences. what does all of those mean for the investigation into the riots on january 6? well, we can see that the committee is far from just being a special committee in the house of representatives on the attack of the capital into re 6. and they have the power to refer specific cases. so the justice department and this cases are the accused persons, they might indeed and up in jail as we have been seeing today. in the case of c phantom. is this the end of the road for a steve bowden and his legal find? it is definitely not the end of the road to he still have some k,

a has some cases in new york pending. and this is regarding a fundraising that he did with a non governmental organization. he has, they are cold, and we built the wool. this money was supposed to go to the building of the wall at the border of the us border to mexico. but apparently he use this money for his own efforts and also to pay the president of this non governmental organization, carling unto moines and washington thinks carlene authorities in nigeria are warning of a looming hunger crisis. the worst flooding for a decade has killed at least 600 people and left more than a 1000000 homeless. even before the floods head, a government was battling high inflation and food shortages and the un warned of catastrophic levels of hunger. this is what the rainy season

usually looks like in an umbrella. these in southeastern nigeria. and this is what the same community looks like. now. swollen rivas, have inundated numerous house on villages across nigeria, cause in 1400000 people to flee their homes for camp set up on higher ground. 27 out of 5060 have been affected. and ambrose thief is one of the worst heats. one 3rd of the state is now on the water. we are suffering, but suffering is better than stealing. that's why we are here in this condition. the clothes that i'm wearing are the only ones i have left. the flood carried away all our belongings. governor polar schools have been destroyed by water. so our plea is anyone that can help us should help us. anyone can help us should help us please. local and use and philanthropists as crumbling to help where be

can people here see the feel neglected by the government? the government in hub and bond not seen any growth with key infrastructure swallowed by water. many of the flood communities are without power. and people's generators have been destroyed, critical infrastructures such as schools, health care centers, police stations, and banks can't operate. the nigerian government says that thought they received early warning signs of the flood. they never foresaw, at this level of destruction, and with the number of farmlands that are being washed away. there are concerns about food scarcity in the coming months. south eastern nigeria is at risk of flooding, at least until the end of the rainy season in november. and for war,

i'm now joined by d. w, corresponding force chicago, and joins me from lagos, flores, a 33 out of 36 nigerian states are affected by the floods in the report we just saw, make them desperately pleading for help. how are authorities managing the distribution of aid? well, the national emergency management agency, which is the a part of government that manages this kind of disasters. they are doing their best to reach out to people in all the affected parts or of nigeria. but as you, as we just saw in their reports, the skill of this flood is just so unprecedented that even the government themselves are seeing that they are overwhelmed. they are camps, of course, they have received aid materials from the government. but there are several others that have all received any form of aid, any form of our sisters. in fact, i spoke to some people who are even saying that, ah,

there are people there that are beginning to die of hunger even write their m in those camps just because they haven't received our food. and i'm like i said before, some of that comes who i've even received. planing that it's, it's not nearly enough and there are reports that large areas of farmland have been destroy. the situation is already terrible. but how big are fairs of a massive food crisis? they are in africa, most populous country. yes, this fear of a food crisis is definitely on a lot of people's minds. and you can understand that. i mean, i, we, we, we spoke to farmers who told us that they've lost thousands and thousands of acres of land. you know, whether it's rice, they were planting or cassava, or whatever it is. they've lost a lot of crops. in fact the, the all farmers association of nigeria, which is the association of, of farmers, has said that a, what the flood is still ongoing,

but they are predicting that nature are, will lose 60 to 7075 percent off. it's are, it's harvest to, to the floor. now that is a huge number. even though yes, nigeria depends heavily as well on imports or food. but it's still, it's still going to in adrian's, are still way to fuel fuel the impact of this ad on top of that, that just 6 months ago, the u. n. was also seen that nigeria would be among the 6 countries that would have, you know, acute state of hunger. and now this floyd is happening, making a bad situation. even worse. these floods are the worst nigeria has seen in a decade. do we know what caused them? there are several other things that have been attributed to this flood. of course, there is climate change. we are seen unusually heavy rainfall according to the authorities,

but there is also lack of planning on the path of them on the part of the nigerian government, whether it's long term planning or short term planning. in the short term, the nigerian government, local author. this is where you formed this flood was going to happen, but not the wearing prepared enough. you know, they didn't prepare people enough. otherwise we wouldn't. i've seen this number of deaths even if we could. we couldn't afford the loss of properties, but the lives are where last many people believe that this is completely avoidable . then there is also the physical plan in aspect of its nigeria does not have enough infrastructure, you know, in terms of whether it's a down to really receive all this water or in terms of drainage systems. and of course there are also people that are building or reba banks. i so when this revise overflow, this is the kind of situation that you have to karate

w correspondent in lagos. many thanks. that's now take a look at some of the other stories making headlines around the world today. captain a brain power a has been sworn in as working of fossils intern, president. last month the 34 year old lead the 2nd co and less than a year. trower a says his main task is to find the hottest insurgents. an election has planned for 2024 jersey maloney has become italy's 1st female prime minister and its 1st far right leader since the 2nd world war. she has a mandate to form a coalition government after meeting the president and rome, maloney's brothers of italy, party won last month's election you citizen. so before you, cranes, president has accused russia of planning to blow up a vital hydro electric dam in the occupied, her san region followed him. re zalinski says russian troops have mine the kafka power plant on the knee pro river, putting hundreds of thousands of people in danger of flooding. if the dam is destroyed,

the massive kafka hydro electric power plant and southern ukraine with its huge water reservoir may soon become a weapon of war with devastating consequences. according to the ukrainian president russian troops supplanted mines in the dam. he says they are planning a false flag operation to trigger an enormous flood. j dimsdale is one of the largest energy facilities which is the dam connected to this hydro electric power plant. the seaman holds a volume of about 18000000 cubic meters of water. but you won't see donald goals when you ship russian terrorists blow it up beach more than 80 settlement. so including carson will be in the zone hit by flash flooding with hundreds of thousands of people could be effected up the expense of water north of the power

plant has been nicknamed the sea. over 240 kilometers of the 20 per river are held back by this dam. last march, russian forces took over this site during their invasion. now, 7 months later, the russians are maintaining a defensive position in the region. experts say that the russian military may think that breaching the dam could cover their retreat from the right bank of the disney per river and prevent or delay ukrainian advances towards care sun. within russia, news sources are saying that it is not them, but ukraine that is planning to blow up the dam. here a pain later as have agreed on what they are calling a roadmap to head off a winter energy crisis. they say measures are being drawn on to protect household and businesses from soaring prices. but weeks of difficult talks still lie ahead. germany and france are divided over how to keep a lead on energy costs. showing unity that was the signal you leaders

wanted to send. with this week's meeting in brussels, president of the u. p. counsel sha, michelle made sure that the message came across la, struggle newton on it. when we stand united, we are more influential and have a greater impact. we have demonstrated this unity, but there's still a lot to do. i believe we have taken important steps of the student council, which can give us confidence in a decision making capacity over the coming weeks and months working on the 2nd day of the 2 they summit, you leaders underlined their unwavering support for ukraine, isn't and we remain united and determined to continue to help ukraine in its defense, in a political humanitarian and financial manner, as well as with weapons. leaders had been hoping to show the same unity when it came to tackling europe's current energy crunch. but behind the scenes, difficulties between 2 of the used leading powers, france and germany became apparent. while german chancellor will have shown

continued to oppose the idea of a gasp, price cap, french president emmanuel, my call, and several other countries kept pushing hospice. any pebble, i believe that it is not good for germany, nor for europe. if germany isolates itself, it is important that on a proposal that deserves broad consensus, we can find a unanimity, unanimity, lead as eventually agreed upon a general vote map. now energy ministers from the 27 countries have to pick up the slack at their meeting in luxembourg next week. a lobby as prime minister as one e leader who supports a price cap on gas d. w. corresponding alexander phenomena caught up with christiania collins after the summit. so you were able here to agree on a road map to tackle the energy crisis. however, this is being described as a classic you outcome? nobody, again, sir, everything. everybody gets a little. so how happy are you with this compromise?

i think it's absolutely a step in the right direction. because right now what we are doing each member state individually is in one way or another, subsidizing households and businesses. so we get through the winter. we are dealing with the effects of high prices, but we're not dealing with a high prices. the only way to deal with a high prices in the short term is through e u action, or collect purchases, a viable price caps. this would help all e u. member states. of course, in the medium term, it means more energy production, a different logistical change to build a new system without the russian energy. but in the short term, either we stay on a subsidy level and deal with high prices or what we've agreed. we actually tried to tackle the high prices with collective action. and germany was facing a lot of criticism for its stance on that issue. and it seemed that germany was quite isolated here doing this summit. was it your impression as well?

i know the german chancellor is said at the very beginning of the discussion that he agrees on the direction. it was a question of various details and we spent a quite a few hours talking about that. in the end. i think we have a good agreement. we have task now our energy ministers to actually work out the details because we're not all specialists say in the, in the field of energy. but the unity was very strong around the table that we do need a common solution. you countries pushing for a special international try them out to hold russia accountable. so are we moving forward to establishing such a tribunal? more and more members, states are agreeing that do needs as such. a tribute, good tribunal, sorry, clear. we saw it in the early days when you crane liberated earth, the north iraq key of we saw butcher. oh, we've seen the same kinds of clear evidence of atrocities and others that ukraine

has said liberated. now we're seeing the indiscriminate bombing of civilian infrastructure and civilians, as the russian army is, is not having much success against the ukrainian army, the resorting to actually terrorizing the entire country with missile. and john strikes these by all accounts. i see these simple a war crimes and they should be treated as such, and the people who are committing them should be and must be held accountable. thank you very much. prime minister. thank you. ah, the football world cup is no less than a month away, but as well as concerns about house cont, horace human rights record. the actual games. now risk being compromised. injuries to the likes of france, midfielder, and 2018 world champion in gwinnett county and portugal. striker deal go, you'll tell me on mean several top stars will be missing and pundits are asking whether the timing of this year's tournament in november and december could be

a factor. and con kennon joins me found. dw sports cell club the winter. well, cup really be a factor that plays into more injuries. this idea holds water. absolutely. because of, as you suggested that the schedule, the usual schedule is for june and july or july. and that usually gives players who've been playing in europe. for example, the best players in the world are coming from all over the world and the best leagues in the world usually gives them a month, maybe 6 weeks to get ready to rest up to at least get healthy if they're not resting up because that 6 weeks is vitally important where if they've got nagging injuries that have been surviving for quite a long time, that would be a problem. this time, the odd timing of the year because of the summer in katara would be way, way, way too hot to play the world cup. it creates creases problem because the going to sleep, for example, the premier league in england. where res jones, for example, the defender for the,

for the england team would be able to are not going to be able to continue, continue to play out. and the things will stop basically, it'll come to a grinding halt, as i suggested just a week beforehand. and re st. john's will not have time, he's got a hamstring injury. he will not have time to get better and he will not be able to play almost certainly he'll be on a provisional squad that has to be reduced just before the world cup. but it's likely people like him will not be able to play and a lot of other players were good. top players will not be able to play because they have these nagging injuries yet. so with less than a wants to go, fans who would probably like to get excited by now fear for the physical well being of their favorite player. indeed. and this actually may be leveling the field of it because teams like brazil, argentina, belgium, are losing players to the injury bug and may well lose more players because there will be more injuries in the next couple weeks as we get closer. leroy son, a for example, is a player who plays for buyer munich,

but will not be able to may not be able to play in the world cup if he doesn't get rid of a bruised or a torn muscle in his thigh. so there's a lot of issues, manuel, noise as well for germany has a bruised shoulder is it's a big problem that will continue to be a problem for him. if he gets hit, if he gets knocked in the, in the, in the bonus league. so that's a problem that may persist as i suggest that other teams have the same problem. france though defending rural champion and brazil also losing players that will not be able to play probably because of this november start when they won't have chance to get better. and probably hate hearing about all of this kind. mckinnon. d, w. sports. thank you so much. you're welcome was found. check out some other stories from the world of sports. he found president johnny in fontana has been given a traditional mori greeting and auckland, before the draw for next year's women's world cup. current champions. the united states are among the top seeds for the tournament in australia and new zealand along with european champions,
