[000:00:00;00] ah ah, this is the w news live from berlin. us lawmakers ordered donald trump to give evidence about the january 6th storming of the us capitol. the former president is required to appear next month at the inquiry into the riot. also coming up, nigeria was of a growing hunger crisis. the was flooding and a decade leaves more than a 1000000 people. homeless with fields destroyed. farmers say it's impossible to

grow crops. and italy gets its 1st female prime minister and its 1st all righty, destiny world war 2, thought georgia maloney names the coalition capitalists including project ministers . ah and really mohammed welcome to the program. so makers, however, ordered donald trump to give evidence at the inquiry into the jerry 6 attack on the us capitol. the congressional committee has told truck to hand over documents and testify under oath next month. it says there's evidence that the former president hastily orchestrated the ethics to overturn the results of the 2020 election hours earlier. trump's chief strategist, steve bannon was sentenced to 4 months in jail for refusing to cooperate with the committee, their judgment. while the, let's get more on this with

d. w is carina. ch, you more in washington d. c. so carrying that trump has now been formally subpoenaed by congress. what more can you tell us about this? right, the timing is quite interesting. the special committee investigating the dairy 6 attack on the capitol is running out of time in less than 3 weeks. the midterm elections will take place here in the united states. and the outcome of these elections will probably change the majority in the house of representatives, meaning that the republicans might then be in power. and they are, of course, are going to dismiss the select committee, investigating the general 6 attack on the capitol because many of them say this is a political hand of donald trump. so the committee is trying to get things done here as fast. and as soon as possible, and for them, it's a race against the time. and how likely is from to cooperative it's very unlikely or

a he law that will mean he would testify on november 14th and give the committee the documents they are asking for november 4th, that means in 2 weeks from now at the same time as you know, and as you mentioned, that the committee has collected overwhelming evidence including from a former staff and appointees of donald trump, which means that donald trump would be confronted with this evidence during the hearing term would have is his back against the wall then. and the other option he has is that his legal team can try and negotiate with the committee, trying to submit some of the documents, but not all of them. and his legal team will, of course, try to keep him out of testifying and 1st place. but the committee will probably not engage into any kind of negotiation. and the 3rd and last option donald trump has, is he could refuse and say he's not going to testify, and he's not going to submit any documents. and as we know, this could also have severe legal consequences. and in addition, one of trumps closest allies, the former strategist, steve bannon,

was sentenced to 4 months in jail for his refusal to cooperate with the committee. exactly where he le banana is as a 1st person to be sentenced to jail for a contempt of a congress in more than half a century. so this sends also an important message of for others involved in the capital riots in january 6th. and it sets a clear standard for future cases, referred to the justice department by the committee investigating the capital attack. again, a clear sign, a tier message to others, including 2 former president donald trump. and more broadly speaking than what does this mean for the investigation into via capital riots where we can see that the committee is far a far more more than just this special committee on the attack on the capital in january 6. and they have the power to refer specific cases. so the justice

department and these cases and the person accused in a case like that by the committee, might even end up in jail as we have as seen today. and the case of safe been on. so this shows that the committee is really powerful in that sense. all right, that is t w's carrying that she boy in washington, d. c. now what to nigeria, where there's warnings of a growing hunger crisis after massive floods hit much of the country in recent days . fields have been destroyed, where farmers have now said that they can't grow crops around a while, but now we're talking about millions of people have also been displaced in much of these large farm related areas to w. storage to occur has more in lagos, which is what the rainy season usually looks like in a number of these in southeastern nigeria. and this is what the scene community

looks like now. swollen weavers have inundated numerous house and villages across nigeria, cause in 1400000 people to flee their homes for camp set up on higher ground. 27 out of 36 states have been affected and embraced states 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 close that i'm wearing at the only ones i have left. the flood carried away all our belongings. lujan waller, schools have been destroyed by water. so our plea is anyone that can help us should help us. anyone that can help us should help us please. 6 local angels and philanthropists as crumbling to help where we can people here see the

feel neglected by the government. the government manager, hub m bomb and not seen. and the presence with key infrastructure swallowed by water. many of the flooded communities are without power. and people's generators have been destroyed. critical infrastructure, such as schools, health care center, fully stations, and banks can't operate. the nigerian government says that though they received early, one in size of the flood, the never foresaw this level of destruction and with the number of farmlands that are being washed and we are concerned about food scarcity in the coming month. south eastern age area is at least of flooding, at least until the end of the rainy season in november, kuala d. w. flourish to cur, file that report. she's in lagos,

and updates us on the reasons as to why the studies taken place. there are several things that have been attributed to the flood. of course, there is climate change. we have seen unusually heavy rainfall according to the authorities, but there is also lack of planning on the part of them on the part of the jury on government. whether it's long term planning or short term planning. in the short term, the nigerian government local authorities were informed this floor was going to happen, but not they 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 lost. 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, of whether a down to really receive all these,

what are all in terms of drainage system. and of course, they also people the building or receiver box. so when this revise overflow, this is the kind of situation that you have. all right, well let's, let's take a look at some of the stories making news around the world. captain abraham troy has been sworn in as booking of fossils, interim president. last month he led the 2nd group in less than lesson, sorry. the 2nd qu, in less than a year, turret says that his main task is to fight jihadist insurgence. an election is planned hold 2024 britons conservative party is searching for a new leader after the prime minister list. trust that down off the just 6 weeks of office, a successor will be decided within a week. among the possible contenders is the man she replaced former prime minister . orest johnson. you are secretary of state antony blinkin says washington would
