it's our future after all, and if we don't do something, our children won't be able to enjoy fresh air for europe revealed. starts november 3rd. oh d w ah ah, let's see that we news lying from berlin us lawmakers order donald trump to give evidence about the january 6th storming of the us capitol. the former president doesn't require to appear next month at the inquiry into the riot, but it's not yet clear whether or not feel comply. also coming up,
10:01 pm
nigeria warns of the looming hunger crisis, the worst flooding and a decade leaves, more than a 1000000 people. homeless with feels destroyed. farmer say it's impossible to grow crops. and ukraine's president appeals as russia of planning to blow up a vital hydro electric dam, followed him as a lensky warns hundreds of thousands are in danger of flooding in the occupied her san regent. ah, i'm nichol for lake tower. we're watching on p b. s. in the united states and all around the world, welcome lawmakers have ordered donald trump to give evidence at the inquiry into the january 6 attack on the us capital. the congressional committee has told trump to hand over documents and testify under oath. next month. it says there is overwhelming evidence that the former president personally orchestrated the effort
10:02 pm
to overturn the results of the 2020 election hours earlier trumps one time chief strategist, steve bannon was sentenced to 4 months in jail for refusing to cooperate with the committee at spend quite a day in washington, and let's break it all down with our corresponding curly nazi moy, catalina. let's start with trump. what more can you tell us now that he's been officially subpoenaed? well, quite a day in washington, and he called in a deed. and this is important that is important to point out that this is very important for the committee investigating the january 6 attack on the capital because they are running out of time and less than 3 weeks. a midterm elections are taking place in this country and that will probably a change the majority in the house of representatives, meaning that the republicans might then be in power. and they are, of course,
10:03 pm
going to dismiss the select committee, investigating the general u. 6 attack on the capital because many of them say that this is a political hand after donald trump. so the committee is trying to get things done here as fast and as soon as possible, as we can see. and for them, it's really a race against time. but the big question right now is, is trump actually going to testify? how likely do you think he is to cooperate? he so hasa, different options, actually 3 options they call donald trump. the 1st one is that he can comply the subpoena meaning to he would cooperate with the committee testify and give them the documents they're asking for. but this is not very likely to happen because, as you said, and as we know, the committee has assembled a overwhelming evidence, including from former staff members and donald trump would be confronted with this evidence in that hearing. so that tested a testimony. so i'm lying been there and,
10:04 pm
and not telling the truth under oath would of course then be his only possibility and answering to testimony. and this could be even worse for him. the 2nd option is that his legal team can try and negotiate with the committee, meaning that they could submit some of the documents, but on all of them. and they will, of course, try to keep him out of that, of testifying in front of the committee. and the 3rd option is that donald trump could refuse and say he's not going to testify and he's not going to submit any kind of documents to the committee in the house. all of this, of course, on the same day, one of trump's closest allies, steve bannon, has been sentenced to 4 months and joe, for precisely failing to cooperate with this same committee, but of a signal there may be towards the former president, what do you make of this exactly any callback is the 1st person to be incarcerated for contempt of congress in more than half a century. so this sends
10:05 pm
a very important and a very clear message for others involved in this form of the capital on t n r e 6. and it sets, as that's also a clear standard for future cases, referred to the justice department by the committee. investigate what exactly does this mean now for the work and the credibility, maybe 2 of the january 6 committee we so clearly see that the committee is far more than just a special committee on the attack on the capital and generally seeks. they have the power in d to refers pacific cases. so the justice department and this cases and the accused people there might indeed as we have seen today, and i've been in jail. and so that is, i think the very clear message that we can learn from, from today to w, corresponding carolina, to moya and washington. thanks carolina authorities, a nigeria or a warning of a looming hunger crisis. the worst flooding for
10:06 pm
a decade has killed at least 600 people and left more than a 1000000 homeless. even before the floods hit, the government was battling high inflation and food shortages and the u. n. warned of catastrophic levels of hunger. this is what the rainy season usually looks like, an ambrosia in southeastern ledge area. and this is what the same community looks like now. swollen rivas, have in on the said numerous house on villages across nigeria, causing 1400000 people to flee their homes for camp set up on higher ground. 27 out of 5060 have been affected. and ambrose, these is one of the was heaped. 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
10:07 pm
all our belongings. lujan waller schools have been destroyed by water. so our plea is anyone that can help us should help us any one that your help with should help us please local and use and philanthropists as crumbling to help where be can people here see the fuel neglected by the government? the government, many to hub m bomb and not seen in the presence with key infrastructure swallowed by water. many of the flooded 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
10:08 pm
and with the number of farmlands that are being washed away. there are concerns about foot scarcity in the coming months. south eastern nigeria is at risk of flooding, at least until the end of the rainy season. in november. denovia corresponding flores, shakara, and lake aust told me why it's taking so long for aid to reach some of the affected areas. 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, 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 the have received aid materials from the government,
10:09 pm
but there are several others that have received any form of aid, any form of assistance. 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 right there. and in those camps just because they haven't received our food. and like i said before, some of the comes who i've even received are complaining 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? there in africa, most populous country, hey, yes, this fear of a food crisis is definitely on a lot of people's minds. and you can understand that. i mean, i, 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 the lot of crops. in fact the,
10:10 pm
the all farmers association of nigeria, which is the association of, of farmers, has said that a one of the flood is still ongoing, but they are predicting their nature, our will lose 60 to 7075 percent off. it's our, it's harvest to, to the floor. now that is a huge number. it will know. yes, nigeria depends heavily as well on imports or food bots. it's still, it's still going to in nature as i still way to fuel fuel the impact of this ad on top of that, that just 6 months a go. the u. n. was also seeing that nigeria would be among the 6 countries that would have, you know, acute state of honda. and now this flood is happening, making a bad situation even worse these floods are the worse nigeria has seen an a decade . do we know what caused them? there are several things that have been attributed to this flood. of course,
10:11 pm
there is climate change. we are seen on usually 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 authorities were informed at 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 our week. we couldn't afford the loss of it is but the lives our last many people believe that this is completely avoidable. then there is also the physical plan in aspect of nigeria does not have enough infrastructure, you know, in terms of, of whether it's a dom to really receive or this water or in terms of drainage systems. and of course there are also people that are building or reba banks or so when this revise
10:12 pm
overflow. this is the kind of situation that you have to karate, w, corresponding and laying off many thanks. let's take a look now at some of the other stories making headlines around the world today. a brain trower a has been sworn in as well. kina fossils intern president. last month, the 34 year old lead the 2nd crew in less than a here trial ray. says his main task is to fight jihadist insurgence an election as planned for 2024. a un security council has unanimously adopted a resolution demanding an end to violence in haiti, and imposing sanctions on a powerful gang leader whose group has been blockading the islands. main oil terminal 2 weeks ago, haiti's prime minister appealed for international help and dealing with a crisis. georgia 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

10:14 pm
russian troops supplanted mines in the dam. he says they are planning a false flag operation to trigger an enormous flood. mm. 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 whose did begin to want to double dolls in you. she fresh and terrorist blow it up, be more than 80 settlement, so including pearson will be in the zone hit by flash flooding. 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 disney per river are held back by this dam. last march, russian forces took over the site during their invasion. now, 7 months later, the russians are maintaining
10:15 pm
a defensive position in the region. experts say that the russian military may thing that breaching the damn, could cover their retreat from the right bank of the denise river, and prevent or delay ukrainian advances towards pearson within russia. news sources are saying that it is not them, but ukraine that is planning to blow up the dam. russia has been escalating the war . new crane with its renewed campaign of air strikes, our correspondent kenyan by are asked to stop, hoist can chairman of the munich security conference about the latest developments with me as the chair of the munich security conference. mr. christopher high school, mr. high school. thank you for your time. in recent weeks, russia has escalated the war and ukraine and has targeted civilian infrastructure, power plants. how would you interpret this escalation of the war? but 1st of all, we really have to describe what it is we have to call a spade a spade. these are these are war crimes to target and civil interest structure
10:16 pm
is committing war crimes and putting continues to commit war crimes in the country . and this is just a series of crimes against humanity. war comes that, that putting is committing recent media reports have indicated that there are iranian drone experts on crimea. how do you interpret this? you ran? is iraq state. there is no doubt m e and there are 2 rock states working together and iran, the iranian regime is right now on the verge of being overthrown by civil society. russia is at the same situation. i think putting is also with this back against the wall. so there are 2 rogue states, 2 countries that fight against their own population that fight against neighbors that are helping each other. here in the baltic states, there's somewhat the opinion that germany has lost some of its credibility for not
10:17 pm
supporting ukraine as fully as for instance, the baltic states are doing what can germany do to regain some of its credibility. germany has done a lot when you look at the humanitarian support, we give economy age, we give support, economic support, and yes, we do deliver arms. yes, we could do more. but i think the criticism that you know, we are not helping it is not, not correct. i think we are the 3rd largest donor in weapons. russia has mobilizing hundreds of thousands of people for its war effort to fill in the holes that have been created by the ukrainian army. do you think this can turn the tide for vladimir putin? i don't think so. i think this is a desperate move. one can see that many of those who put in wants to recruit, flee the country. we see em how badly they are, are trained how badly they are equipped. and we see all these examples of the
10:18 pm
performance of the russian army that the russian army is in a horrible state. i don't see that i'm putting can achieve what he wanted, what he can do. and this is what i said earlier, is that he can prolong the fight, but i do not see that he has the possibility to actually conquer more ukrainian territory. this, this war has caused a lot of hate, especially because of russian war crimes. and looking to the future, do you think there can ever be reconciliation? there has to be something what we in germany called dean. that's if he cation, i think there has to be some d patina zation. at the same time, we see that a war, criminal like protein has a large following that there. this policy is supported by by many russians, and this has to change. thank you very much for the interview. miss ruskin,
10:19 pm

france and germany are calling for the united nations to investigate whether russia has used or raining made drones to attack ukraine. they say the use of such weapons would breach a un security council resolution dramatically. european leaders have agreed on what they call a roadmap to head off a winter energy crisis. they say measures are being drawn out to protect households and businesses from soaring energy prices. but weeks of difficult talks, still, i ahead germany and france are still divided over how to keep a lid 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 the ostrich will. newton, when we start united, we are more influential and have a great to impart. we have demonstrated this unity, but there's still a lot to do. i believe we have taken important steps for the student council,

10:24 pm
