the people the way here to defend democracy? we're here to defend the republic that way. here's to show our commitment to the rules low on it and say no to any attempt to seize power by force is pretty cool. us bottom is that i'm quite a lot for president bustling, was elected in 2021. taking the country might involve a deep and economic and stability. i must be in that. now. while i remember it was the 1st baseboard translation of bar since independence limited candidate to the international community, including the african union, the u. n. the european union and the united states have condemned the move and demanded the release of new jazz president of the secretary journalist following

closely the situation in new jersey. he condemns in the strongest terms, any efforts to cease power by force and to undermine dec democratic governance, peace and stability. in the share. the secretary general calls on all actors involve to exercise restraint and insure the protection of constitutional order. do 9 nation stands by the government and people of new share. as one of those i have lost investing of democracy. nature has been invite to the rest and ally, an anger of stability. neighboring molly and burkina faso have had foreclosed in 3 years. and the struggling to find out is not miss militants. god, so make me sure the focus of less than a to contain both that growing militancy and political instability. a decade long enough for that wednesday as people are, has for landed out versus president vladimir

putin. his hosting african leaders. meanwhile, for a summit aimed at enhancing cooperation with the continent. their arrival at the 2 day meeting and st. petersburg comes to stays after moscow pulls out of a deal, allowing ukraine to export grain through it's black. see ports. the number of leaders attending the summit is sharply down on the kremlin 1st russia africa summit in 2019 which was attended by more than 40 heads of state. that's bringing dw is maria mother who's joining us now from nairobi. so well, who is attending the summit, as well as the negations from 49 african nations have arrived in saint petersburg. but only 17 african has a staid will attend this meeting, and as you said, it says it's significant drop from 43. we have attended the fullness. i'm of the 1st summit in 2019 and slushy. so that's a huge blow for president 40. and he wanted to show it to demonstrate to the world

and especially to the west that he's not isolated. he still has friends. despite the sanctions, so big countries that can yonah julia are not attending also many other countries and they might have sold well. we don't want to seemingly support rushes invasion of ukraine. we also don't want to sour ties with the west. we might need financial support in the next few years. and also some of them might have been disappointed from the outcome of the last summit where russia had pledged to double trades with african nations up to $40000000000.00 us dollars. but actually trade has since dropped to $14000000000.00 us dollars. the african leaders who are attending, what do they hope to gain as well, some african leaders, they will look for investment deals, trade deals in various fields from i teach security to education or humanitarian supports. but of course, the most pressing issue here is green. so these countries were worst hit by the effects of precious withdrawal from the black sea green initiative. they will look

for alternatives. they will look for bilateral agreements or free of charge initiatives or also how can russia support local agriculture? and um, another point is of course, the bottom operations and countries like molly. so don and central african republic, these countries will want to get reassurance us from most go from from yeah, from president 14. how these operations will continue. now? who's in charge now? is it the ministry of defense? is it still wagner? wagner has been handing over weapons to the ministry of defense. so how would this affect these operations and these countries? and then as a peace initiative actually led by the south african presidents, the river. i'm opposed to who will try to talk with a president, 14 and other has a stage in order to find a peaceful solution to the war. and ukraine. put all of this into the bigger context for us, maria. russia has a big interest in africa. walk us through it a well rest of what he wants to expand its political influence. and as i

mentioned in trade is really negligible with african nations. so political influence is everything for president 40 and he knows that the african blog actually represents the largest voting block in the u. n. and he also, in his keynote address, he will talk about a new world order he wants to establish together with african nations that is based on equality and to multiply richie. he also talks about how he wants to kind of help african nations to gain most sovereignty, of course, also from the west and if you, but if you look at vs activities on the continent. if you look at this information, come pick him, pains and electro interference bought an operations that happened to be stop lising countries and, and that governments or by popping up or to our talk receives. but also it didn't help african nations to actually gain most of n t. also, if you look at other deals concerning arms and exchange for resources, for example,

marion miller and i, robi, thank you. and as we have just heard from mariel, food prices are storing in many african country due to present improvements decision to pull out of the ukraine grain deal include in kenya, the country is in the rip of the worst drought in decades leaving hundreds of thousands dependent on food aid is felix moraine go reports. how much the color is responsible for feeding? 10 people, including had grandchildren. the kids helped make this brooms to sell it to a local shop. it's the only income selling 12 raises enough to buy at 3 kilobytes of mail slot. the family has no land. they fled their home during the 2008 post the electron clashes in kenya for date helps, but no longer comes regularly or was that that i'm going to put you on the model

and guide the model. i'm busy, we used to get a twice a year. i level and then they brought stuff for us once a month and i'll put you on a more more. yeah. but then it still is as a male port there. we're still waiting for the next delivery yourself. it's hurting us with us. we're just waiting to see if we get food done or not. some of the william is has grandson. who studies had he'd love to become a doctor. but he sees landings had an empty stomach began to union and when i'm hungry i can't concentrate we rely on the little food the or for us in schools at least you can close into it. then i stay in school and study for extra hours in the hope that when i get home, there will be something. but when i get home there's nothing and i have to sleep on an empty stomach and wake up hungry. honda is cooking ports as you main and use all

the this great soc is now used to fill your 10 fields the last time she called anything was last night then each again this evening. but there's nothing in between. the come on, you run, it has become like a neighbor to us. it's always here. i don't even when we eat, we remain hungry and what else can we do? we don't have any other place to go or about anything else we can do about this. i said how many of co signed facts without food aid, how children will continue going to bed hungry, and they will continue struggling with studies. cool. that was for the program can funds that how can sense of valued? and unless there's an increase in dollars in the block, c green initiative resumes, then people like how will continue funding with hunger, w, p, regional, direct stuff for eastern africa, save a suspension of the grain deal. will have terrible consequences for that port if people are going to reduce the size of the males, they're gonna cut meals. they've got to adopt alternative ways of trying. is

this a vive with less, and this is wayne, mount nutrition rates will increase. this is when hunger rates will increase were already in a bad situation. my fear is with the suspension of this deal. the situation could get worse. higher prices add pressure and then such a into for honda and have family. we'll have to try to and we'll just to survive. these patients made a why the we making every day had and dreams seemed even farther away. and here are some other stories making news. the authorities suspect an electric vehicle may have caused a fire on board of a cargo ship carrying almost 3000 cars. the coast guard says that the fire could be burning for days. officials say that they are doing everything possible to prevent the ship from thinking which could lead to an oil spill with severe environmental consequences. the u. s. federal reserve has raised its key interest rate to its

highest level in 22 years as part of the effort to bring down inflation by increasing interest rates, the fed hopes to make borrowing and investing more expensive, thereby producing demand and prices for goods and services. free witnesses have told us lawmakers that they believe that the government is covering up information on you a piece or an identified anomalous phenomena, also known as us flows. the retired military veterans testified at a congressional hearing warning that the sightings are a national security threat. the pentagon has denied the claims within 30 north korea's leader kim jong has met with russia's defense minister survey showing through in pyongyang. according to state media, the parent discussed military issues and the regional security environment. us and visited coincides with the seventy's anniversary of the end of the fighting. in the

korean war, 5000000 people died in the conflict. half of them civilians, as well as many re in american and chinese soldiers sweetheart. the korean armistice signed in 1953, put an end to the bloodshed, but it also did not technically end the war. today some 28000 us soldiers remain stationed in south korea and all along the dmc, the demilitarized zone north and south korean soldiers ever ready to pick up where they left off. a state of use scared mathis reports the cold war lives on here, in pun, wouldn't jump in the demilitarized, so between north and south korea. south korean soldiers keep close watch on every move the communists. neighbors make tensions are running high as north korea tests, as a more sophisticated besides, some can even reach cities in the us, the country that has pledged to protect south korea. this is most of the dangerous

moment because there is a shortage of a symmetric a capabilities north go has which is nuclear capability. once they either use new nukes, or threats, and the serious of interesting to you to use nukes, we don't have any plan or keep an eye to keep, defend the country. it is very doubtful that whether american government to ex, we responded with new do nuclear weapons, the north and south korea formerly still at war with each other. the demilitarized zone was established in july 1953 when they ended 3 years of bloody war. with the korean armistice agreement. relations between the 2 have had many highs and lows over the past 70 years. but they have now cooled considerably. reunification is not high on the agenda for many people in the south korean capital. so young age might

be uh, get a lot of pressure by leaving their own life. but at the same time, if we are thinking about the reunion is some point they have uh like a concern, do we have to take care of them too? sweetie. they wont, and i worry about the increase taxes i will have to pay off to a possible unification that might concern the one of them, i guess for a most like, uh, a koreans like with my age, i think they see a more of a distance topic rather than re unification, i think most people want like just total separation. i think outside to some poles in south korea. sho, about 3 quarters of the public now support the idea of nuclear armament to counter threats from the north. johnson who owns this south korea should accept the fact that the north has nuclear weapons instead of insisting on dean galleries ation as a precondition for adults, he thinks south 3 of us to not he's when it signed the so called dean nuclear

ization declaration. just as ukraine was, when it gave up it's nuclear weapons, budapest member run. one of the reason why the cross this as soon as i'm concerned about it is nuclear threat is that we have seen what you can express tuesdays. we will understand that you can't, with nuclear weapons, would not be in bed by the rush. you know, they won't have to have to do from russia who is supposed to provide security guarantee to create a very similar destiny. is evidence even though he say walking the streets of sol, this frozen conflict seems very far away until one encounters, one of the many memorial sites in town. like here at the warm museum of korea, commemorating the 10s of thousands of south korean and united nation soldiers who died in the korean war 7 decades later lasting peace still seems out of reach.

as in earlier, i spoke with journalist frank smith and soul. i asked him how both countries in the korean peninsula are marking the 70 authentic bursary of armistice. very differently in north korea it's, it's marked really as victory de, the victory of the communist forces over the capitalist forces represented by a south korean. in particular, the united states in south korea, it's more of a celebration of the strength of the alliance with the united states and the support that south grew received from the united nations as well. it's also a bit of a reminder of the separation of the 2 careers with more than 50000 family members here in sales create that want to meet up with their relatives that were they were separated from in north korea back more than 70 years ago. but there

are divisions in south korea as well. the current president, conservative president, you took your g minds to strengthen the alliance with the united states and increasingly with japan. he believes in peace through strength, which is a start turn around from previous president, new jersey. and that's such a in gauging or 3. and we saw the coming of the relations between north korea and south korea in the united states during his term, which ended with you and becoming president of last may cera. if we look at what's happening right now. meantime in north korea, we see kim pushing for deeper cooperation with allies, china, and russia. how is this being viewed where you are in sol as well? that's being viewed quite negatively. so scree wants to see, especially china pressure north korea into reining in. it's a missile,

a nuclear programs, china, however, and, and russia represent kind of traditional allies. most of the north prius trade is with china. it received significant aid from china, as well as diplomatic cover from china add, for example, the united nations security council. in terms of russia, we have the visit that you, that was mentioned of a russian defense minister, saturday show ego. he visited a, a defense exhibition where he was shown around by the north korean leader, kim jong. good. and this is troubling in terms of potential cooperation that's been reported over the past year in terms of north korea supplying russia with arms or, or emulation potentially for it's a war and ukraine. so that was an interview that i conducted earlier. meantime, taiwanda annual military drills epic on this. you're simulating

a response to a possible attack by neighboring china. the week long exercises are taking place and mid rising tension in the region. beijing has held its own military drills around taiwan and its war plains have made frequent incursions into time when these aerospace not fall outside the time in these carpets or black hawk helicopters approached how you own international airport. and so yeah, cost massage alone to spring into action. the truck is find a place to land. anatomy troops leap out. they seize and occupied the access to control facilities. but they are quickly defeated by time and these infantry a soldier, hoist the items flag in victory and the box. what is over half way across the straight on the strategically located pettigrew island location of the major advice . troops and tanks, as well as the top mountains and soldiers file on off your targets. in taipei,

simon's bladder across the city and civilians, head for cover in the subway. as the traffic outside comes to a standstill. these are just some of the scenarios. taiwan is preparing for in the set to not. i knew a 100 clag military exercises, drills involving police, firefights and civilians on the armed forces. the main focus a possible invasion by china. beijing claims taiwan as its own territory. chinese forces and conducted to drills in north is around the island in the past year. yeah, and you know, it's, it's old only is invalid. so though we all know that it's a dire situation in the taiwan strait. now we have to prepare for an attack from china, which could happen any time kind of when that happens, it will definitely cause many deaths and injuries. at times we saw that in the warren ukrainians report. that's why we need to prepare ourselves. now if you're

out, judge, i'm to be gone for some time to use the drills along with the promise of us support provides comfort all which i'm not too worried. the china has used both diplomatic and military intimidation to watch, tie one before, besides one half the support of the united states, the others remained apprehensive. i think a war could really happen, and when it happens, the situation will be quite different from the drill. i feel like everyone is doing their best to be accommodating, but i don't know what it would be like in case we're really happens before them, the old plan is given and everyone heads back above ground. and while these are the drills for residents of taiwan, never mind to the ever present the threat grooming just across the board to the in the women's world cup the united states and the netherlands battled it out. and what was a re match of the 2019 final,

but the upside booked primed for an upset after scoring the games for school, but the americans cool all the way back for the 11, draw. the judge came into the match with the promise of finding that gets the feeling woke up champions. the us packing more punch in the 1st half the netherlands took the lead through midfielder jill roared and the 17 minute dominique incident nearly doubled the lead for the 2017 european champions. but over shot the target the us went in and half time trailing in a world cup match for the 1st time in over a decade. over coming to detroit at 1st half to us seize control. and that is a 62 minute equalizer, on the header from co captain lizzie, horace river. see the momentum during 8 2nd here on slide. the us piled forward in search of a winter. but it wouldn't count, leaving this hard, but bad

a level at 11 the and after the match players from both teams gave us their reaction to the draw 4 years ago was a long time ago. and we've grown also, and i think as we are, we showed the world that we are better or us very close to them. honestly, it was just a simple matter of us putting a little bit more pressure on them. i think we dropped off them and gave them a little bit too much more speed. uh, too much space. i think 2nd half and close those gaps a little bit more. and, you know, at the end of the day, like, you know, we know that teams are gonna bring their best game against us. you know, the 1st half wasn't the most terrible, half of me ever down of all. but i mean, knowing the us we, we always find a way to kind of get ourselves back in it and we learn from it a half time. and uh, yeah, now we have another game to prepare for. and also after the match dw corresponded ali moody gave us his thoughts on what the draw means for these 2 title favorites.

it was billed as the biggest game of the group stage, a re much of the last world cup final ahead of the game coach andres young co said he thought his side had closed the gap on the united states since that final and it's much and in particular results certainly pull that out. a point h needs the 2 sides level at the top of gree pay. but for the united states it will no doubt be a disappointment, not to have claimed an outright victory here. there are questions to on so if a coach, black car under nazi and his players the while this bill oh my certain to progress to the knockout stages. that eh, of invincibility from the last world cup appears to be vanishing. sinead o'connor. they are claimed iris thing, gran activist has died at the age of 56. she became internationally famous with her rendition of prince's song. nothing compares to you in 1990 o'connor will also be remembered for speaking out on political and social issues. no concept that has

been announced the or you're watching dw news coming up next. it has conflicts on with my colleague tim sebastian, interviewing taiwan, support administer the

center of the conflict with tim sebastian america. the secretary of state, down to lincoln, was finally emerging in the long delay that had to hold the slide in the us, china relations. the main sticking point is go tie one. i guess. pay is the time

when each for a minute. joseph, the island living on conflict on dw, they use a joint shame the following sessions: social media ration. all of them seeks to manipulate the feeling. the window is simply the one the best, the best most of human psychology. the science of emotion. in 45 minutes on dw, the how many platforms can you handle single attain usually without having the feeling that is just too much you might see me.

how much can we do simultaneously? multitasking diesel, modern meds? because if we do too much, we paid it all wrong. we messed things up, risking brain damage. so let's stop this self sabotage. humans and multitasking watch. now on youtube, v. w documentary america, the secretary of state, anthony lincoln was finally in badging in a long delayed effort to hold the slide in us china relations. the main speaking point is still tie one with a chinese determined to be unified and warning the west to stay out of the cool interests. my guest inside pay is the tie when he's 5 minutes that joseph works is they, i'm living on.
