germany to station about 1000 offered streets alongside those of its allies in the jazz now another cool has made the travelers side regions yet more fragile items. and as the term has not analysed the leader, it remains unclear who will see new jazz, pewter and dw corresponded elisa to who might is following the events from lagos, nigeria, thank you so much for joining us. there's been condemnation from abroad. we've heard frances foreign ministers saying that the crew isn't final. is that just wishful thinking? well, many might the time it, that's a wish we're thinking not from the 40 minutes the front. so but if you look at the situation right now today almost basically 4 to 8 hours since wednesdays to start there by the presidential god,

it does seem that the crew is not complete because yes, the minute you have come out to back the coup. lots is what is, there's been a sense so if you go on an easy comedy, the country who is in charge, if uh, basically it is no longer in charge. the name of the tree says the machine that they know is no longer with the situation in new jersey. and tell us a little bit more than do we have any indications with citizens really think about this because there have been demonstrations both for and against the code. so that's the mix reaction we see already on wednesday. uh, after the initial cleared by the residential god happened. we did see a protest as to what pro government pro democracy, the president to say. no, they want to come across that the president is who they've voted for the want to keep the resuming turn of events where uh well pro, what you call at the democrats, those in support of the crew going as far as the headquarters of italy in patsy to burn, build you so, and that reports also waiving uh, you know,

russian flags and that is a mixed reaction from uh, from above, but many reject reject it as we've seen in the last 48 hours. they are those not just implications. we have to mention fornia here itself, but also regionally as well. just bring it now to the bigger picture for us and talk with us about how this might now. well for one thing, the big question was about security. the j had been a key. i'm so just to enter, we've been in the region dallas a part of the g 5 alongside more retain. yeah. you know, in terms of keeping secrets in the region, which is still a huge, huge challenge that, that's the clarity will be where many will say that the eyebrows has to be raised. if up has been busy who's no longer tolerates in crews in the region. we've got d mean which on the automated suppression, they've got money, they've got the booking process to add new j into a vast many will say perhaps pointed thing as to why west africa has been termed the qu, belts of the world, the w course with african leaders on the sidelines up in russia, africa summit that is taking place for cop blocked after moscow pulled out of the

un brokered black c deal. both the u. n. and the us have said that the donations can not compensate for the global impact of russia's actions is n, as russia searches for allies in a sea of global condemnation for its war in ukraine, it has enlisted a variety of tools to change hearts and minds. propaganda, this information campaigns and the fax number scenary group to name a few. c, w has found that in some african countries, russian propaganda is proving very successful. so you have tom's from the dw fact checking team reports now on how russia is undermining democratic effort. this is kimmy c, bob, a friend spend a nice incline, so spreading pro russian and n t wisdom propaganda on social media right off to rush up again. it's full scale invasion of ukraine in 2022. he posted this video really

fact this russian beta to solve for an independent nation and 2 parts, a few cranes territory. it's only one of the false claims, the influence that has shared online in support of russia in this war. this message reach us. many people, more than 1000000 people follow him on facebook and over 250000 on instagram. he is part of a growing network of people who claim to be pen african investigative research done by several international media companies and open source collective shows. say by has close ties to the russian private military company. buckner group, along with other influences like not tell you who calls herself the lady of searching you want has been a speaker events sponsored by the russian government the u. s. government and the open source project, all ice on buckner, concluded that must go is paying a number of local influences to spread to propaganda across the african continent.

hiring and um, do you kind of find out what are some of the hot button issues, what are some of the more polarizing issues and then inflaming those kind of people work up around opinions among for tens are divided when it comes to the war in ukraine but everyone is persuaded by the pro russian views in most countries shown in a recent poll. i'm a jury to be live. the russian invasion of ukraine was, i guess international low. and the pressure is guilty of committing more crimes in ukraine. still, russia continues to try and undermine democracy in several african countries, particularly affected molly saddam the central african republic, and some pop way in the 3 of these countries through russian power military buckner, group operates and videos like this. another example of russian propaganda on this time targeting molly booking of fargo and ivory coast.

the, the cartoon for a bug on the video was viewed thousands of times on social media and appears to be directly linked to the vaux. anti french sentiments also appears to be on the rise and form of french colonies like molly and their governments are looking for ways to distance themselves from the former colonial power. this has made way for russia to present itself. as a peacekeeping, the defense africa, full south african research here justin aaron's theme versus goal is to appear at low turn to, to, to the status quote. even prior to the ukranian war, we saw russia aggressively trying to build supports for its policies. often when they were country to european on that, so north american policies are in staying at said, russia is not the only country investing propaganda and african countries many want

to gain more influence in the region. however, russia does it in a particular way that undermine open societies to undermine the ability of citizens to make their own choices. and that there is a level of physical collision involved. while in russia remains isolated and global politics. experts say it needs africa by spreading fake news, propaganda, and n t west the narrative. they want to gain influence on the african continent and show they have a role to play. and let's get more now. we are joins here in the studio with. catherine is the low sky from dw is fact checking teams. i mean, we saw their social media influencers videos, for example. how expensive is the russian infrastructure when it comes to spreading this information in propaganda? so we're going to say that the public i'm at work on the country continental is very big. so russia, for example, finance is original stations in africa,

for example, and central african republic. and also the russian russian states and to a russian state on media outlets are g, formerly known as the rest of today, has corporations with media on the ground like affleck media, for example, based in cameroon. and we also are russia also has a lot of russian embassies in african countries with spent little book on the like and twitter for example. so we can say event russell's programs on that. it was really, really big enough for come. russia has been increasingly isolated among western countries, especially given, you know, sanctions given its invasion of ukraine. why is africa and an influence? they're so important to russia, especially now. so we talked to experts and they say that russel really needs africa. and mainly because of the 3 reasons. so as you already mentioned, russia is really isolated internationally and also still wants to legitimize it's boring ukraine. so it seems that the for kind of talk receives of some countries

and could be a very good, like partner for ourself we'll put in. and secondly, or so it's also locked out of the european market or the us markets. so it also is looking for a new kind of make market places which african countries could provide. and thirdly, africa still has a lot of raw materials. so in return for the services, the listeners, the wagner troops gets accessed to these raw materials. and experts say that this gold, for example, finance is the most and there was actions on the continent. and also the one ukraine. we have to say there's this, russia, africa, some had going on right now. symmetrical lead or african leaders have shown up there. although not as many as, as the previous summit, we've also seen on the continent, you know, various leaders refusing to denounce the russian invasion of ukraine. how successful have this information campaigns been on the continent perhaps with, with that in mind? so we have to say that f because deeply divided, so some african countries are influenced by russell's propaganda. and some are not

. so according to experts, russia's influence is biggest. and the countries such as central african republic, my a sedan and sublet. and it's also interesting because about also like mainly the wagner groups of writing and, or how they have been seen there. and still to understand why russia can be so successful in some of some countries is to look back in history. so africa, russia has never been a colonial power in the close like condensation era, in contrast to france, for example. and that's why russia can be so successful in semester. and countries . and russia also supported many african countries and fighting for independence in the late 20th century. thank you so much. katherine was low ski from dw fact check . we appreciate it. i. so now we're going to head to ukraine. president followed him here as the landscape has visited odessa. the target of multiple russian missile strikes and recent dates toward the historic

transfiguration complete control that is now undergoing restoration after being severely damaged. following an attack. the odessa region has come under increasing russian fire since moscow withdrew from the black sea initiative that assured the safe passage of ships carrying ukrainian grain in his nightly address. the landscape spoke from the damage cathedral in odessa. the i listened to the report on the consequences of russian strikes on odessa and the region between here and spot. so play a bunch and ski cathedral, which russia tried to destroy me. i filled it out. people elma rolled a still stronger, stronger than russian terror. he's either or elsewhere the far right alternative for germany party is set to hold its annual congress with its sites on elections this fall in germany's largest state of area. the region traditionally votes for conservative parties, but this time the sd is projected to reach

a record share of the vote. dw reporter alex gast went to the bavarian city of strobing to see what is behind to the far right. scrolling popularity there in the city of chicago being containing for the various state elections is heating up of the region is a strong hold for conservative parties. but in recent years, the far right of d. s. gauge momentum is made passively. he may know, i personally, he said the ac is a last resort on there because none of the old part of the sort of any use to me give it out for me is the a f d as currency project to take around 13 percent of the votes in the state, as in the rest of germany, the issue of migration is the parties to main draw. it's important that the people who have no business being here are removed and that the people who come in

educated unskilled are the ones all the battery and if the potty candidates cutting, even as china is set to be one of the most extreme politicians in a party, she came germany into europe being overwhelmed by migration. you agree in the port of foreigners who no longer have the right to be in the country, which means we would relieve our social system, we would relieve our hospitals and of course they wouldn't be better schooling for our children again because they're simply wouldn't be so many foreign children in class who don't speak german opportunity, what if necessary, we need a fortress germany, and not just the fortress europe of us. and just having a troubled by these remarks who it's most because you know, it makes me very reflective this week because what we need right now is a sense of cooperation to prove that to so this to some in heights once. but believe me, the problem with a d is that it does like secondly, the opposite drives people. a party that i mentioned the us and on the director

does. it's terrible that this party is getting so much supports courtney. they have no solution to this whole, just assign to quite appalling content, some conservative party members and the region to think the rise of the far right is due to frustration with a national government led by the social democrats in which they will take this much . i am going to been to that voting for the a indeed is not the right signal into savings to buy land because it actually makes it even more difficult for conservatives to get majorities. because some of these protests come from our come from roland. yeah, toner, from the green party says the conservative body style of communication disposal pump you to blame. starting from the attorneys. i can see that there is also a conflict within the conservative party. you know, i think the people who say let's no further to the right now this is what moderates and then the becomes more acceptable because you adopt it's not okay. and so it's not a surprise that people say, no, it's just not the normal parts of the younger patel,

2 months before the electrons in bavaria, the mainstream parties appear to be lacking a strategy for conjuring the fire right? a f d. and let's get more on that. we are joined by d. w. political, corresponded benjamin alvarez group or benjamin of the rise of the a f d. is it a one off thing that we're seeing of a state of bavaria, or is this really a nationwide phenomena? it is a nationwide phenomena that we see so, but very is not the only state where the a, if the is a scanning the supposed. but for a look at a nation wide level, the policy stronghold isn't the eastern part of the country. if we look at the 2 states section, you're on hold in front of the the pots you would get more than 25 percent according to recent polls and in the state of the range it with the recently one election, almost $1.00 and $3.00 would vote for the a if the and it's in those states that the rise when the treatments restore us, particularly strong, is finding strong support. that's according to a study from the university of flight sick. but we should not only look at the i if

the but also other parties and party leaders are reacting to the rice of the far right to recent interview by faith, which mass, the leader of the conservative party costs a massive backlash after he suggested, cooperating with the a, if you, in a municipal level less listening, $1.00 of the cool with 9, even these people at the municipal level, the party politicize ation has gone a bit too far hits or tend to ring geodesic. administrative was elected. and of course, that's a democratic election and a small community and talk to me on how a local man has been elected, who belongs to the a f the and of course, that's a democratic collection and we have to accept it. the local part of minutes must and also look for ways to join the money at the time in the district together. how big a deal was that statement? benjamin? i mean, the big parties have pledge not to work with the a f d it was really big. it costs a big backlash and also it for them to try to roll back. he's not the only conservative polluters, and that has been accused of copying it. this populace restore a gulf the a f d,

but of course as a party leader, a, he faced a huge backlash from other parties, but also from within the own a cd. you the so called firewall against the full right. the p is it to be crumbling and some are adopting this or be story going a bit to wind over voters from the ac that is still searching in the pools. but of course, there is a difference between how politics also in germany work on a municipal or on a town level and how it works in a stage or even on a national level. because deciding not to cooperate with the ac is definitely easier when they get enough votes to overall this party beyond germany, benjamin, you know, the increasing popularity of the state. does it have any broader implications, for example, for europe? so we see that this movement said growing in many european countries, this population in movements has been steadily building up support in the recent years asked even about the concerns of how the a, if these drilling drum, until the falls also mentioned is this fact seeming almost to downplay the

developments that we're seeing in the german unit, it remains to be seen if this party can maintain the support or if they will lose it. because if we look at last, we can say general election in spain, the spanish fluoride box party last and many votes there. and as some also were part of the if the sat is that the ac is not actually offering a solution, but it's just trying to instrumental lies the problems that the countries facing, the annual a if the congress kicks off today. what's expected to the popular leadership has clear ideas for the next the european elections of we'll look at the program and we'll look at what will be discussed in the city of marketable starting today. germany must leave the you leave the years coming currency, lease native 50 has been pretty strong on criticizing germany for its support in ukraine. but also when we look at climate protection measures and things that the, the 3 parts of government, the greens, the f t p and the social democrats and are trying to do the news trying to fight

against that. so climate protection measures. but also, when it comes to renewable energy is one of the big topics that the has been using over the policy is especially one level many syrian refugees coming into the country is to promote the so called fortress europe. we saw that in the piece of the elections in bavaria fortress, germany, and for to europe, against immigrants, and against a law firm in general. so they have been stoking a this fee as in trying to think get to more voters in the selections. we have the elections in bavaria coming up in october, also in half of a will will be really interesting. will be the elections coming up next year. also in this eastern states where the a, if the is particularly strong in germany. debbie is benjamin alvarez cooper. thank you it is the biggest women's world cup to date and yet on the streets of sydney there is little indication that it's happening or corresponded to lima who talk a, went there,

talk to some locals and found out whether the tournament in australia and new zealand could have been marketed better. stop the tray. yeah. is in the middle of a was cops, but you probably cantos. this is one of the busiest street in tiffany, but this barely any promotional materials inside. we see a few pictures and the trays. yeah, we see the soccer players and mysteries. 6 uh yeah, not, not that much but yeah, we see a little bit. it just feels very dead. um and yeah, if you like it you be more populated and be more happy more lot about it. um it's just uh, looks like a normal date fees. i told dw that they work closely with the cd when it comes to the marketing of the woodcock. and that more than a 1000 cd band as have been growing out. sounds like a lot on paper. but in practice it's far from i popping. i came across more

prominent advertisements for this movie then i did for the woman's watch caught. that's how we paid at least, and finding a restaurant of hub to show the games was even hotter to come by. this is the best of people's advertisements that we found, but there is a catch. we'll close to the pen festival. the 1st of its kind at a women's woodcock. and there's no shortage of love for the tournament. really just centralized at this festival here, right in the center. which kind of disappointing seeing that, like there's so much on the news about the woman's wealth tub in our family went to guitar for the men's world cup and it was definitely seems to be like a lot more advertisements there. and so it would have been great since we, you know, even more here, but it's been fun what we have been to over $1500000.00 tickets have already been sold a record for women's was cost. even if things are not always in plain sight,

had a quick reminder now of the top story that we're following for you here on the good news. even as the global community condemns its support for the crew in new jersey or has grown at home to supporters burned cars outside of the headquarters of the elected governing party. the president's has posted defiantly on social media was confined to his own car. by his own guards, excuse me, up to date and dw. notice on sarah kelly in berlin. thank you so much for watching the

the thread to the baltic states. what would happen is russia attacked lithuania,

health, and military rehearsal for, in this scenario. in spring of 2023, it was a large scale exercise led by germany with international cooperation and exclusive look at military tactics. and what motivates soldiers to keep going? on dw, the tongue tongue. in 20192023 . the traces of the protests are feeding, freedom of expression continues to be suppressed. what has become of the demonstrators have bands and arrests, almost broken the resistance to chinese rule. the 60 minutes on dw, the

might seem easy. how much can we do simultaneously? multitasking these the modern methods because if we do too much at once, teddy, all wrong mess, things up, risking brain damage. so let's stop this self sabotage. humans and multitasking. watching our new to v w documentary the soon as the annexation of clean the air in 2014 and rushes war in ukraine. west and officials have made it clear.
