60 degrees and explore. fascinating world heritage sites d w world heritage 360 yeah. now the this is dw news live from berlin, independence day in new zara, but it's president is still detained and the general now in charge conceived nothing. the self appointed leader says that he is less daunting just at military and economic threats from new shares. neighbors. a regional block has set a sunday deadline for new share to revel its course. also coming up donald trump to

do in court today. up against his most serious indictment, and yet it faces charges of using his power and office to overturn jo biden's when in the 2020 election as extensive war crimes committed in sudan. that is the obligation from amnesty international, which says that both sides are guilty of hitting civilian targets and the ongoing side of the supporters of these areas. military junta have rallied against for an interference in the capital as the country marks it's independence day. protesters waived russian flags as they demanded the immediate withdrawal of french troops stationed in the share in western countries, as well as several of these areas. neighbors have condemned at the recent to the

west african original for echo wass as imposed tough economic sanctions and is threatening military action. neighboring nigeria has also pushed up the pressure by cutting off power. and now cool leader of dora harmonic, she on a used in independence day address to condemn the threats of military intervention with a key i should to should put in. and what has particularly surprised me, jerry, and is the statement from the government of the partner country. so that's mcnees. yeah. but the use of force to protect its citizens. diplomatic representation and interests. news. yeah. even though they have never been subjected to any threat input on how can a question of maintaining order following peaceful streets demonstrations, providers such an excessive reaction from political authority is not the highest

level of expertise assumable. at this point, one can invite to the wonder whether it is just on g main for government to owed to the use of military force against the new jerry and population to protect it. certain citizens reducing it or something. so that's fine. in west africa correspondent elisa tacoma, who is covering this from neighboring nigeria, a lease that we just heard their new share, self declared crew leader sounding like he's not planning on backing down. how serious could a conflict become even militarily, perhaps with west africa's regional block echo offices, unavoidable at this point as well? so uh, perhaps that is some diplomatic sense because uh the uh, these self appointed qu, need, uh, when you say right, that is not backing down. he still can stop the negotiations, the simultaneous negotiations go in uh, down in the country with, uh, delegations, uh, from eco actually led by 4190. and what is it uh,

handled state himself of the long side of sofa. i know so that way you know, in the country to see what the committees were on at the same time echo as cheap. so it depends to use that also in nigeria as a customer who just also looking at what options that they may have, which when you guys suggest that metering conventional might be the last option. so why it is quite a bundle? if they put a different magic router or the, we can also say that why you have that on one hand or the other. how do you have the number to man, the jews, that kind of the mouth in money. uh, speaking with the money and you know, just uh the reason the so you, so you're asking that it looks like both news and as far as i explained on the support that they can have on the table at a disposal. but hopefully we will be affordable to avoid that. i will be good to avoid violence. we've been hearing about some protest, some demonstrations taking place. and that what is independence day today in the

share which marks the nation's independence from france back in 1960. what's expected, or how ironic you have to say uh so they just when we got that a cou again, and now they have the independence, they well, uh, process have begun demonstrations. have they gone all the nonsense of violence may 30 months against finance. as we saw last week, wearing a french embassy in, uh, what was it was that tank and beds and stuff where bob, but we hope is going to be a piece of demonstration. they will mock again, brandon's day at a capital. they will be similar societies in the continental quote that we want to come out on demonstrates, but there's also the issue of, you know, waving the russian flag, which also raises the flag i will, i brought because if this is supposed to be a celebration, i'm not going to that independence and was supposed to see me, the last of them, you know, russian flag had the and see for a sense of man. so we hope it doesn't descend into that full protests and

demonstrations. i expect that all throughout the caps with me. i'm going to initiate data view, west africa correspondent will be such a cool law. thank you. me there is just the latest country in africa, unstable. so hell region to see an overthrow of its government. here's more new jersey status is one of the few democracies in the western so hell appears to be going up in smoke. the african nation adds its name to a list of countries in the region that have witnessed who is in recent years. do need air joins neighboring molly, which so the military stage, a mutiny in 2020 in 2021. a 2nd crew took place there that same year guinea, untried, also witness their leaders being overthrown. in burkina faso, there were 2 codes in 2022 of the

instability caused in large parts by militant islam is groups has caused particular concern to democracies across the region. and especially to those in the block of countries that form part of the economic community of west african states or eco, wes encouraged by africa is most populated country nigeria eco west also serves as a peacekeeping force during times of political instability. and during the rest, member states send joint military forces to intervene. but the most poking tool in the eco last arsenal is its ability to suspend member states from its economic grouping. molly guinea, burkina faso and to 9 the share of all being suspended following codes. new jersey on town has been given an ultimatum by ego west too. richard is

threatened to the possible use of force. there are fears that any military intervention in these air by equal was if you could just send into a full scale war in the region with molly and for keen a 5 so both warning they would defend their fellow qu, leaders, the store and the effectiveness of an ego last force has been questioned by experts who say adequate funding is required if it were to have a chance of succeeding. plus, it could lead to a worsening of an already dire humanitarian crisis in the region. and we are joined now by to be here at demo he is with us from a buddha. he is a security analyst with beacon consulting. welcome to the program, and thank you so much for joining us. we just saw in that report power had been, sees in molly for keno fi, so now and e share, why have governments in the saw how been so vulnerable to cruise a good morning, them 0. so essentially it's

a question of legitimacy. the way you might during, you know, elections so that, that also speaks about the dvd and the, the, the, the electronic process in most of the country and living stuff in west africa, country where the outcome of the elections the question. and then of course, the government with government does not necessarily translate to meeting the needs and desires of the people. and then we can also extended to the entire democratic system. how that system has not been able to address the needs and to meet the interest of the people. so we should also speak about the post colonial legacy of the country, blake from of let the system that from, from indeed in, in west africa and the concrete, i've seen friends, very tremendous def, 3 companies that have major government and election. i'm sorry,

because the effect is not being felt by the people, the more times question related to meet the government and the result is included. it's been said and speculated that russia might be seeing an opportunity here for increased influence. how vulnerable is easier to falling under more influence from russia, and it's dr mercenary group. so m m x extremely vulnerable, new job, dependent on 4 and 8 to need the basic needs. and is the following data coming from, you know, country in the way the western countries, us the you of the block and then um, by electronic ones from, from the even gemini, as an example, if that is called all new, gerry and goldman cannot survive on its own and so it would look towards countries like russia. i know that i commend you the right shape phoebe doing function that the result of invasion of you greens. so how much can you to extend to country like

new york? it's also in cleveland, the desire to maintain a good relationship with a plan like nigeria and then example. then they 0, the region are eligible in a cause for us, i would not want to do anything to do something like that relationship. so i see your shop plain mom with the top live in room, done this through the deadline, who it would be interested in finding some follow relationship with new job, but not detrimental. the relationship with the concrete. meantime we have been saying, european country is evacuating their citizens. we've been seeing west africa's regional block echo us imposing sanctions nigeria cutting like tricity supply for an aide, being cut, etc. i mean this is, this is really a lot of pressure. so when we talk about, you know, what, the situation that the crew leaders will be left with can be with stand that pressure. so that depends on the car in your politics. um what,

what kind of worries me, when do you need to go? the military june. uh now your reopening of florida with some country leading to the gee there and fix the lot because even the country like julia does not support this is a nice, nice done. then it leaves the in june to some opportunity really in the den button are you. it's an opening to the model number of the gun, colorado either way and then by, by extension to rush out as well. so a lot would depend on how it was, i think, look, and then of course, the international community able to get into support of blog in, in north africa, the arab countries and then example of countries like pumpkin and then more importantly, russia and china not, not supposed to have gotten them yet, depression and the music region, a probably about the block on the wall. it's not able to get the support of this

country that i've mentioned. then the pressure with the ministry, heavier adama, security analyst. thank you so much. thank you for holding this to attend to the united states where a former president donald trump, is due in court in washington. he is charged with plodding to subvert the will of us voters in the 2020 election security is being ramped up ahead of the hearing where trump is expected to plead not guilty. he has said that the charges against him showed the corruption of the by the administration. this trumps the 3rd set of criminal charges as seen as the most serious, as he campaigns for next year's election democrats, which is what they're doing. and earlier we spoke with catherine culver ashbrook, a political analyst at executive v. p. at the battles on foundation here in berlin, we asked her if the trump's right if trump's rivals for the republican nomination

will try to exploit the former president's political troubles for their own advantage. the vice president for mice, president mike pins on the campaign trail side. the donald trump had attempted to put himself above the constitution and that no man should be elected president who sees his role in that way. and that was the 1st public pronouncement that we heard from my parents who was now running for the presidency. you remember that he had a hard time being, quote, unquote dragged in front of these type of tribunals and the congressional committee that was looking into january 6th. so for the vice president to come out with those strong words, yes, he is trying to compare. he's trying to capitalize on this latest environment, but i don't think we'll see a ronda sanchez or anybody who's much closer to being in the running for that kind of candidacy and make those kind of comments so split, feel their look what we're now calling the big lie, which is to say the donald trump, and that's effectively the, you know, understand,

or the cornerstone of this indictment. i came up with this big lie that he had in fact one to 2020 election. that was incredibly persuasive to his space. if you recall the people who stormed the capital on january 6th thought that they were legitimately defending their vision and their version of their around democracy. and i think that makes this moment so dangerous. because if for whatever reason donald trump gets off with a lesser sentence doesn't go to prison. so much of the future of american democracy hinges on this indictment, hinges on what we're going to see play out over the next year. because we also know that donald trump has a now, as it was a big piece, and then your time that he is re elected to the highest office in the land. he will begin dismantling the bureaucracy and the systems of the state even further caused by attempting to turn the united states even more into an executive lead slash dictatorship of the country. this is a very dangerous moment,

a very dangerous precipice for american democracy. so all eyes in the world should rightly be on what happens over the next couple of months precisely, on this federal indictment. and that was catherine culver ashbrook speaking with us earlier. let's bring you up to date with some other stories making news around the world. after nationwide protests on wednesday night, jerry, as main labor federation has reportedly afraid to suspend their strike and return to tox. this after government fuels subsidies were removed and gas suddenly tripled in price. workers are demanding a higher minimum wage to help pay for fuel. at least 20 people have died when a boat capsized during a storm and uganda. 9 people were rescued from lake victoria. hundreds of dying vote accidents in uganda, every year. the winners of highlands last general general election had been excluded from attempts to form a new government. the reformist move forward party has failed twice as

getting its leader installed as prime minister due to opposition from conservative lawmakers. albania, in southern europe has become increasingly popular with taurus they are drawn to with picture escalates and beaches. but up to one 3rd of the coast is now effected by a rose and driven by both the climate change and human behavior. locals worried that the rising adriatic sea is slowly destroying the landscape and their livelihoods, as dw is funny for char reports, albania, said boons in the north of the country seem like paradise. but then which says here comes here to work. he's been a fisherman for 40 years. inquisitive mind the fish population has started to decline. he sense? it's just a girl who can go for it. since the moment this crab entered the goon, there's been fewer fish, fewer eel spot. you're now going back from one year to the next. we catch,

let's say i got in before this lagoon was amazing in the past and drop us. you can catch thousands of on the lives of fish of all the me. i agree and trying to cool only the small strip of land, separate dramatic see from the local. the water level is rising, allowing more blue cross blue cross over from the sea. they are replacing the natural fish population. yup, jimmy cents. he's an environmental list in the region there the other day, i think over there is the adrian c, and this is laguna when i fix the land in between to to his ranking. he says, due to climate change, st. this time we have more maritime storms, erosion, high temperatures, floods, and all of this has been affecting the lagoon or anything that is it, the sea will swell the more than the level. and yet gene says if there's a new government intervention, albania schools will also keep shrinking. an estimated one 3rd of the countries coastline is already affected by your ocean. every year the sea advances inland,

posing a threat to another slice of the local economy. tourism would be the last year we had more umbrellas to show that this year we have one real less gimme, who knows what happens next year. maybe we'll lose another row with the it'd be the other island university of them, of our new hotels meant to attract tourists, maybe doing more harm. then good local sphere. the construction will speed up your ocean funds. you know, cuz concerned this restaurant built by his father in the late 19 nineties will disappear into the sea. and with that, he's a livelihood. the landscape here used to be different thence, woodland pine trees, as his private footage, dating back to 2005 shows. when i did the show with the locals from the village, used to come here and live up and i've got that back, then everything was green and you should listen to it was like

a forest. plus it was like the amazon amazon is really doing that. now that you can see for yourself, actually quite a bit there as well. no much is left from this time. most of the trees are gone. take them by the sea and buy people. local villagers who we legally cut them down in albany is capital to run a. we need cody on america. she's tasked with coastal conservation. but enforcing environmental law is difficult. what we suffer is named that mentation, the lack of the financial resources, and also of the human resources. because when we're talking about the financial, the resources, this is also linked with the human resources that are needed to work on the implementation process. less than one percent of the national budget is set aside for environmental protection. she says, of estimates, albania would need to spend 30 times as much money that the impoverished country lacks demo, says the times when he pulled in key laughter a key to

a fish alone go. more and more fishermen are quitting blue crab. that's the only thing. now abundance here or the human rights group. i'm the see international says that war crimes have become widespread in sudan with violent clashes between the army and the countries main paramilitary group. a new report found that thousands of civilians have been killed or injured since fighting broke out in april. it says there had been delivered deliberate attacks on neighborhoods, hospitals and churches, and scores of women have been subjected to sexual violence. and the see is calling for soldiers and commanders to be held criminally responsible. and for more details on august his findings as cross over to london and speak with donna televera. she is one of the authors of that. i'm the c report. thank you so much for joining us here on data. you news. your report suggests that both sides in the sudan conflict

are deliberately targeting civilians and are involved in booting and raping. tell us more about what you found. yes, both sides have been committing a very serious human rights abuses, including abuses that amount to work. crimes those, cnn, around the capital and in the west and part of the country and the dollar for region. and also elsewhere, such as in the south of the capital in the core defined region and civilian to really try in the cycle of violence since the 15th of april, whereby they are not safe anywhere. civilians have been killed and injured in their homes because both sides are fighting with the in densely populated stability in the areas residential areas that launching attacks from these areas of killing and injuring civilians in their homes. and civilians have been killed and injured us.

they were trying to flee or ribbon in the very places where they sort a safety uh, both sides of also deliberately, a tap, a civilian, specifically man um, in various parts of the country, particularly so into dar, for legion and a, in all the conflict affected areas women and goes to the doctor, they've been a rate and sexual assault in their homes even when they're out and going to buy food. and really the read the lease, know safe options for symposiums right now and sit down. and much attention has been focused on the rapid support forces, many of the horrors documented and are for, and the capital par to him are attributed to them. so is this armed militia, the main perpetrator of the war crimes, and so down, according to your findings, there are several types of traitors, but indeed, directly it supports forces,

the power of military rock, the 2 poets forces, item, the traitors, all the majority of the crimes said we'd be naples to document both in and around to where they are, the ones a wire, a controlling the streets in many areas. and in the dark 4 areas where both the rock, the 2 ports for cease. and there are lines, are munitions being a targeting civilians destroying infrastructure, a team, and 3rd, named people's homes in, in some cases, entire neighborhoods and including taxes and civilians. as they flee the country. you mentioned the cases of sexual violence against women in particular. um, can you give us a sense of the scale how, how wide spread is that in the sudan conflict?

and it is wide spread in dante just the case that we've been able to document have occurred in all the construct affected areas in around the capital as well as in different parts of that are for region. and we see your de, um, that the pattern may be fine more widespread than we have been able to documents so far because it is difficult to reach the survivors. the communication is, is very poor. in some places it's impossible to, to contact people. uh, and of course, because of the stigma associated with such which such crimes. but even what we've been able to document so far is incredibly watering. there's been repeated international attempts to end the fighting and sit down those. those have failed. and i'm wondering if you have a message right now to either the parties or to the international community,

what can be done to protect the population? i mean, obviously the message to the part is, is that they have to put an immediate end to the violation into for crimes that they are continuing to pass the trait. the international community must be more robust, split, engaged and it must send a very strong message to the, to, to come back to. and so the wiring parties, it should extend the arms embargo debt so far, only applies to the, the for region. but now the conflict is, is a love of the country and it should likewise expand the mandates of the international criminal court to cover the whole country and not just the dar for region. it should set up an independent investigation so that this would in legit that the wiring sides know that the impunity that they are come back. and so been enjoying until now, the doc is not going to be the case at moving forward,

and that would be an hour for this incentive for the, for the war and side, it must also increase support for the humanitarian aid to, to sit down in the neighboring countries on a televera from amnesty international. thank you so much. thank you. you're up to date on date of the news. i'm sarah kelly in berlin. thank you so much for watching. it's the
