practice at the naval base and will class 7 months before russia attacked ukraine of 17 documents of daily life, the town. how are the people of dealing with the growing tensions change their world we are with you currently know when any insight starts july 8th on dw, i don't blame the police. i blame one person. the one who took the life of my son. those are the words of the mother of nile. the teenager killed at a traffic stop on the outskirts of paris. she does not blame the system. a thousands of protesters who've taken to the streets since the fatal shooting to

nails killing has brought to the surface long simmering grievances and the french phone years where distrust of the police runs deep. and the feeling of this enfranchisement has people ranging against the state. they believe does not represent them. i'm the call for the chamberlain and this is the day the nothing can justify violence, especially when it consists of attacking public building, town halls, police station, schools or looting shops. the buses above down behind us. i say this very faithfully, they used every day, but people living in the suburbs in walk in closets neighborhoods. why have they done this? i think it's because water desperate for me it's because they have the impression that there's a double standard injustice. this is a moment for the country series,

the address safety issues, braces and, and racial discrimination and knowing also on the day results. former presidents are both on iris political career haynes by a thread the after record. bars them from public office until 2030 it's. it's an emblematic day like september 6, 2018 when i was stopped in the chest. today i, we stopped in the back. it was not j u m a c, a suppose to narrow to stop a bazillion democracy. welcome to the show. france continues to be on high alert after 4 days of protests over the killing of a teenager at a traffic stop. it started the cry for accountability has been merged into a massive mobilization against the stomach problems in french society. the officer involved has been charged but on the streets of many cities in france, protesters don't believe he was the proverbial bad apple,

especially in minority ethnic communities. the 17 year olds killing a scene as another instance of repressive policing of marginalized groups. full stars, these are desperately trying to extinguish kyle's across from the police. killing of powers teenage in my yield has ignited widespread rage. the fury descending into destruction. more than 800 people have been arrested president emanuel nicole and lifting e u summit to try and reign in the riots as he sees many of those involved. a young people in blank, social media flickering, the unrest we've seen on snapshots tick tock on several other platforms. well, those to organization yvonne and gatherings. and the minute king of island new york

city leads young people to detach from reality. and to feel that some of them are living on the streets of video game having talks okay to them. more offices of being deployed to control the violence. but the united nations has voiced its concerns about french police. this is a moment for the country to seriously address the issues of racism and racial discrimination in law enforcement. we also emphasize the importance of peaceful assembly. the french government rejects the accusations that some provisions have this sympathies is supposed to consider the close. it goes from for i think this is the logical consequences to police funding next a tab. it's unacceptable. what are the pima control?

the current situation also comes from police, going to find you to as soon as compiler, quote, understand the anger behind all of this. but it's still shocking is i think we need to debate all of this so that people understand what motivates them to get violence in the 1st place. i know which of us, right? love you sounds good. why your voice? i think that has been too much buttons given what happened to people, there was no need for this kind of a 60 cent per se. shops have nothing to do with what happened is a new view of what you can already have. public transport will wrap up early and public events of being pulled off as far as he's fee of the violence will escalate over the weekend. and joining me now for more from paris is on. so if he's on pear, she's a former researcher. as amnesty international france and the author of the book, how the state attacks, our freedoms and the some very welcome back to the w. a frances, a point, tens of thousands of police to curb be expected 9 time writing. and your opinion.

is this the right way of dealing with the protests? so that's a, that's consider engine less of the deputies and including the images to public offices. you can understand why they're deploying forces tried to control the me and rice and the riots. however, i think the have to address also to did the root cause of the anger of use. uh, they came to the street because of the murder of night, but i think a little to choose um, back memories with the police and memories of interaction that lead to violence and legal violence, mediation, racism, and, and the government assuming the huge denial and regarding the situation between the police and reducing the suburban and is in just a just decided to, uh, can the, the to come down the situation without taking a long term measures. i can bet them into a few years. it will stop again. mm hm. we heard the french president, they're blaming video games for the riots. what do you make of that?

um, i think 1st of all, we do politicize look at the situation and i would rather have a president talking about the role and the situation of the police and the how disuse can have such a mistrust ends. institution. uh, that would sound more serious then. uh, the user video gaming protest is nothing you, i mean, you should look at the homecoming protest in 2019. they were very much inspired by video games. uh so uh, probably it's true the thought of the filter of the use with, i think it's not really relevant right now. yeah. and not the discussion that you would like to say. obviously, the french government has rejected you and accusations of racism and systemic discrimination within the police force as totally on founded. and how do you see it? that's part of the denial i was regretting. before i knew you had the same denial of, of police brutality, the government doesn't even want to use this words. i mean,

there are several evidence of the systemic racism in the, within the police. a few years ago young, but samantha french ombudsman was saying that the black or a man has 20 times 20 more times a printing one times to be checked by the police, then a white person. you have also decision by the highest court of justice in france against the french, that because of the discriminatory checked the police. so it is an issue and it is very important in this, in considering the current situation to address it. but the problem is that to find a solution you have to meet there is a problem and uh, at the moment, uh uh it is quite touring. the government is the, is still refusing to hear that you in his answer for you. so i'm here in paris, thank you so much for your take one week on from the wagner mercenary groups of board it and you, me, in russia foreign minister, sir?

good luck. ralph has done the failed rebellion, a mis adventure, moscow's top diplomat stressed to for an media that russia would come out of the uprising stronger than before. if gave me precautions mercenaries came within 200 kilometers of moscow last weekend, only to stand down after a deal brokerage by bela bruce's, alexander lucas sango. wagner mercenaries have taken a leading role and russia's war and ukraine, but the group is also active in syria. and africa law roof said that wagner mercenaries would continue to operate in the african countries regional governments . there wanted to maintain contacts with a group of the table just the suite above the future of the agreements between african countries and the fog and have private military company is above all up to the governments of the country is concerned. so to be a solution for them, they decide whether they would be interested in continuing this form of cooperation to ensure the authority security is a bus list, you ordered them

a full list of the united states says it's concerned about wagner is based stabilizing influence in africa and has accused its liter, if gaining pre goshen of helping engineer the departure of you. one troops from molly. then you one voted today to withdraw from molly as demanded by the military leadership there. the whole broad wagner into molly and to l. battle. and as the mist insurgency, the mercenary group has been accused of atrocities. and molly, and, and a number of african countries there is evidence that most and there is from the volcanic group upgrades, and at least for african countries to don, the central african republic. molly and libya, it may be of a mess and i was joined to load kennedy for hester and his national army. you are fighting to seize power from the un recognized governments of national accord account. some form of arguments. soldiers have linked to mercenaries, to the shooting of civilians,

and to fight as who would surrendered. talking to members also placed booby traps and unmarked mines in civilian areas. the one that uses them of committing war crimes for violence is forcing thousands to flee. it's, it is defense, submitted the claims above, and that is encouraging migrants to cross to europe in an attempt to destabilize the continents ensue. don involving the soldiers have long trained, is army, and advised as political leaders. space has helped advances economic interests. assume denise company linked to wagner has gained gold mining concessions and government approval for a gold processing facility. the outbreak of fights against the done presented wagner with a di. lemme worried about blocking the wrong side. the group is training government forces while also arming rebel august f fights is in the central

african republic, the wagner group is being popping up the governments of president fist or constituted ara against various rebel groups. the control launch parts of the country. united nations investigation found the government forces and felt in the fight is killed. dozens of civilians in the mosque in 2021 vault. and the militants are also that use of torture, kidnappings, and to mass rape. and that they use violence to control unexplored areas. reaching gold, diamonds, and of the value lumina rose again, wishing companies appeared to benefits from the mercenaries. involvement saw his arrival, coincides with the company, links to his phone, to being avoided. diamond and gold mining licenses. molly submitted to june to has been fighting a long standing insurgency by easily mist groups about 1000 involved. numerous

navies have been deployed to trading molly and soldiers and protect magenta with access to you reading you diamond and gold mines as likely payoffs. and here to view and saves, we have committed atrocities the criminal in used to play down its links to the activities of evolving a group in africa. now we've promised to be continued, suppose have been state to mess and i was the and for a closer look at the wagner group in africa, i'm joined now by kimberly martin. she's a professor of political science at columbia university's harriman institute. thank you so much for joining us. and you've been following the wagner group for quite some time. how did they become so powerful on the african continent? with rest them help? they are not really a private military company. they are really an arm of the russian state and every single contract that they have in africa in syria, everywhere else. but they have been, it has been done through negotiation with russian diplomats and with other russian

ministries like the energy ministry in this area. where is that co operation left now after this coup? we don't know for sure, but i think it's really interesting that surgery, la, broke in the quote that you had just a few moments ago. said he, he names the wagner group by name, which is the 1st time that we've had russia admit that the wagner group is actually in africa to my knowledge. because the wagner group is playing such an important role in both the central african republic. and in molly, in terms of showing up the leadership there, my guess is that they are going to be maintained. and also in eastern africa, working for the world are totally 5 tar who controls the eastern part of the country and the central african republic. they are what keeps the government in power and there's just no question that they have uh brought a level of stability to the government that it would not have otherwise. molly, it's too early to know how successful they'll be,

but that's what they're trying to do. so from a western perspective, wagner has been a be stabilizing agent, but from, from what you're saying, it seems like from the inside, it must feel like they are stabilizing somehow. so with this, every shuffling going on now and parts of wagner being integrated, or there being a tens of parts of wagner being integrated into the russian military. where is that role less than so the stability has come from stabilizing autocratic leadership. and it's not that has left them unstable in the central african republic. it's that they've committed terrible human rights violations in order to get where they are now. in molly, they may in fact be the stabilizing things because partner was responsible earlier for kicking out the french presence there that was engaged in counterterrorism activities. and most recently, as your report indicated for causing the united nations security council approved piece mission to now be on its way out at the end of the year. so you know, it all,

we're not sure what this means for the future, but because it is a creature of the russian military intelligence unit. and because pre goes and has had his role, not because of his challenge, not because of any combat experience, but because of his support by plugging their approach. and my guess is it would be pretty easy to replace provision with somebody else and that there's no particular reason why anything needs to change in the deployments in africa as a result of what happened in rust out this past week. but the governments of countries like, you know, molly and libya, all the countries that we're looking at right now, they do have contracts with wagner and lager has these mining licenses that we heard about in the report. would it be easy for someone else to just swoop in there and say, hey, now we're taking over which the contracts are not with wagner? because wagner technically doesn't exist, the contracts are with the series of companies, but precaution has set up. so i'm not sure who could swoop in or why they would

want somebody else to, to move in. um, wagner has just immense control over these contracts and russia. and it's not pre goes in as an individual that matters so much as what the wagner fighters and the wagner security guards are bringing. so i think the biggest question is whether these governments are willing to share sufficient information with other agents in russia to allow them to take over how much of this with justin precautions head versus how much was written down or is available elsewhere. and then most importantly, whether the wagner forces on the ground are so loyal to provision that in his absence, they would refuse to keep on fighting. i don't think that's the case. they've known all along that they're actually fighting for russia. they're russian patriots. they are really good at what they do and they're not good at much else. and so my guess is that things are likely to continue pretty much as they have been with or without for goes and being the one in control. and looking back at what we saw and sold over the weekend, some analysts believe that africa is actually where the tensions between wagner in

moscow 1st started to show would you agree? we do have the one interesting piece of evidence today that somebody fired on the wagner base camp in eastern libya and the libyan you and recognized governments claims that they did not do it, that they have maintain the ceasefire. so that's an interesting thing to look at. it's interesting to also look at syria, where there are reports that some of the wagner individuals at least have been put under house arrest or have been questioned by some combination of russian security forces and libya and, and or, or sorry, in the history and intelligence forces there, there were reports of some tensions between the russians foreign ministry and wagner in the central african republic. but i think the um, the general conclusion to that was that, that was in fighting with in the russian government, not between the russian state and wagner. and it makes sense that the foreign

ministry might not be happy with the rule that the g r u and the russian military establishment is taking over control of a country where russians still has a diplomatic mission from the foreign minister as political scientists. kimberly martin, thank you so much for all that. thank you. the parallels have always been remarkable between donald trump and amanda, the trump of the tropics. dire both so narrow, turns out that didn't end when they both left office. both are now playing by legal troubles that threatened to end their political careers and both in our case his hopes of reclaiming the presidency in 2026 appear to be over. both in arrow has been barred from running for public office until 2030. for those top court rules that he abused his power as of last year's elections, judge has found that both in our i had used the official government channels to boost his own campaign and spread and found in doubts about brazil's electronic

voting system. was narrow called the ruling, a stab in the back for all of us gentle joins me now. he's a political scientist specializing on all things. brazil, welcome back to the day. let's die right in. is this the end of both in our regional best? the big question, he's been somewhat of the line below the radar for the past weeks has been unusually quiet, in part some argue because he's been trying to mollify the courts and perhaps avoid the decision that the look toral court has made today. that isn't working now, the big question is, what will happen? i mean, he, and i've been just following all days, the approval to nato channels, which are fairly quiet. he will still appeal to the supreme court and the expectation is that that will not be successful. and then the big question is, how will he utilize his tremendous political influence and very committed follow

worship in a moment where he cannot run for office. and the big question is, can he transfer his popularity to someone else, even though nobody on the right? not even his sons have a common touch. and that unique capacity to come across as sort of the common man fighting against the political elite. in the verdict, one of the judges said the facts were incontrovertible, but both scenario we heard them before already came out and saying, this is a step in the back and brazilians. i imagine highly divided on the topic. absolutely, particularly because most donado has, you know, systematically questioned the chords and said this is all part of the deep state has is as, as thought to road public trust in the early the look toral system. and now this is the electoral court saying that he is abused power. now the. ready having voted for both sonata, of course, we believed there's lots of people in the streets, people celebrating or but at the other end,

both of our voters are of course so unhappy and some are saying that this is an illegitimate ruling. so the big question is, again, how will he react? will he accept this, his lawyer has already accepted. but you know, the question is whether he will seek to mobilize his followers. for now, i think the situation, i think will remain calm. i think the, the risk of repetition of the political violence that we've seen in january and the capital is relatively low right now. this case we'll see and barred from political life for some years. but other pending cases might actually land him in prison and how dangerous a place is he in right now? well, i think they're, they're numerous cases that could, under normal circumstances, layman elaine, him in prison involving the alleged genocide of indigenous people in the amazon. lots of corruption cases, he's very controversial role in the fight against cobit, where he emerged as one of the globally leading not signs deniers are contesting

the usefulness of vaccine, et cetera. however, even the current government believes that putting most of it in jail may be a problem, but because it will turn them into a martyr, and they actually mobilize his followers, increase polarization, which continues to be a major challenge of result phases. so of course, the ministry of the judges may end up deciding that, but i think interestingly enough, the president, i think, hopes that this will not be the case. and i tend to agree that a prison sentence would certainly make it more difficult of to overcome the profound divisions between the left and the right. but shape political discourse end result right now. as out of a single political scientist from brazil grade speaking to you. thank you so much for your time. thank you.

from saturday on trackers in western jeremy will be able to take a dizzying stroll along the world's longest free hanging suspension bridge. the narrow footpaths, called skywalk, offers a birds eye view of the surrounding countryside, but a warning those with the fear of heights, we'll likely want to steer clear up to a 100 meters high. and 650 meters long. skywalk, germany's longest suspension bridge is opening to the public and it is not for the faint of hot in the narrow structure, office visits, a spectacular views over this island region. and locals comp wait for the chance to buy a ticket to cross trying to avoid things like whether it's over whelming, i would say what is being built here. and also that it's possible to build such a bridge and such a valley from this problem was crazy. what's possible about i'd be tempted to cross
