from new shares. neighbors also coming up extensive war crimes committed in sudan. that is the allegation from amnesty international, which says that both sides are guilty of getting civilian targets and the ongoing battle and typhoon con noon cuts waves of destruction in china. i won in japan, east asia is the 3rd major store in 3 weeks. and it's expected to make a u turn for, for long term weeks, even more have it the i'm sarah kelly. welcome to the program. supporters of nice new chairs, military when to have rallied against for an interference in the capital as the country marks its independence day. protesters waived russian flags as they

demanded the immediate withdrawal. a fresh its troops stationed in the share western countries as well as several of the chairs. neighbors have condemned to the recent crew, the west african regional group. echo aust has imposed tough economic sanctions and is threatening military action. neighboring nigeria has also pushed up the pressure by cutting off power supplies and the crew leader of door harmonic. she jani, used an independent state address to condemn the threats of military intervention, which you are sure to should put in. what has particularly surprised me. chevy 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 we didn't need. yeah. even though they have never been subjected to any threat and put you on how kind of question of maintaining all the following peaceful streets,

demonstrations and provisions such an excessive reaction from political socrates, not the highest level expertise. a simple at this point, good one can invite, can you wonder whether it is just on g main for government to over to the use of military force against the new jerry and population protective? certain citizens is it or something. so and for more on the situation in nature, we spoke with our west africa correspondent, elisa tacoma, who is covering all of this from neighboring nigeria. we asked him if a serious conflict with the west african regional flock. echo was, was now unavoidable. perhaps that is some diplomatic sense because uh the uh, these self appointed qu, need, uh, the news a right, that is not backing down. he still can stop the on negotiations uh, assemble, sales negotiations going uh, down in the country with, uh, delegations, uh,

from echo as the lead 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 it says, do you want to come meet each one at the same time? echo as cheap? so it depends to use that also in my diary as a customer who just also looking at what options that they may have, which i would really keisha's suggest that that may change the race. so it might be the last option. so why is quite a lot of people have to do for my sake, routes on the condo. so say that's why you have that on one hand. on the other hand, you have the number to mind, the jews that kind of the mouth in money, speaking with the money and you know, just a resume day. so you, so you're asking that it looks like both news and as far as i explained, all forms of support that they can, i didn't have one to say, but i dispose of, but hopefully we will be one of those that i'm going to, i will be good to avoid problems. we've been hearing about some protest, some demonstrations taking place, a made what is independence day today in the share which marks the nations

independence from france back in 1960, what's expected, or how do i run it? do you have to say the site you they just when we got the cubic in and now they have that independence they well process have begun. demonstrations have been gone . all the nonsense of violence may 30 months against finance. as we saw last week, when the french embassy and what was it, was that tact i need and vegas and stuff where bob, but we hope is going to be a piece of demonstration. they will mock dependence 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 of more eyebrows. because if this is supposed to be a celebration, i'm not going to be an independent and we're supposed to see these. and neither of them, you know, russian flag had that and see for a sense of man. so we hope it doesn't descend into that full protest under most

patients. expect that all throughout the come to me. i'm here today in the c d. w. west africa correspondence of these such a cool law. thank you. but human rights group, i'm a see international says that war crimes have become widespread in sudan and mid violent clashes between the army and the countries named paramilitary group. a new report found thousands of civilians have been told or injured since fighting broke out in april. it says there have been deliberate attacks on neighbors, hospitals, and churches, and scores of women have been subjected to sexual violence. and this is calling for soldiers and commanders to be held permanently responsible. donna taylor robera, one of the authors of amnesty international is report describe to the findings in more detail as um, yes, both sides have been committing a very serious human rights abuses, including abuses that amount to work. crimes both cnn,

around the capital and in the west and part of the country and the dar for region. and also elsewhere, such as in the south of the capital in the core defined region and civilian to really talk 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 within densely populated ship only in the areas residential areas. they're 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 of safety 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 girls, the laptop did, they've been a rate and sexually assaulted in their homes even when they're out and going to buy food. and really the re, re snow safe options for symposiums right now and sit down and much attention has been focused on the rapid support forces. many of the hardest documented and are for and the capital part 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 military rock, the 2 poets forces. item the have to try to is 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 for areas where both the rock, the 2 ports for cease and there are lines, are of munitions being a targeting civilians destroying infrastructure team and certainly in people's homes, 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 the dark floor 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. and of course, because of the stigma associated with such with such crimes. but even what we've been able to documents so far is incredibly watering. there's been repeated international attempts to end the fighting and sudan, 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 and store their wiring parties. it should extend the arms embargo debt so far, only applies to the duct for region, but now the conflict is, is a lover to 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 let the, the watering sides know that the impunity that they are come back and some been enjoying until now the doc is not going to be the case at moving forward. and that would be a powerful, this incentive for the, for the war inside. it must also increase support for the humanitarian aid to, to sit down in the neighboring countries. donna televera from amnesty international

. thank you so much. thank you. and now does and breaking news. south korean media said that at least 13 people have been injured in a car ramming and a stabbing just outside of so the incident taking place. and there are a subway station and a satellite city. immediately, south east of the capital police arrested the suspect to the attacker at the scene . we will update you as soon as we find out more the parts of japan, taiwan and china are racing for more impact from type food canoe, which already showed its force on wednesday. the region is still recovering from last week's tie phone book story with most of the damage done in mainland china. in fact, this is the 3rd major storm to hit the region in just the past 3 weeks. events, but signed to say are being exacerbate, exacerbated by climate change. this is to phone condone infection on

wednesday, and this is the immediate aftermath. so stay on the japanese island of ok. now what has been assessing the damage to noon took the lives of at least 2 residents and injured more than 60. there will be a lot of work for emergency services in the coming days with many damaged buildings uprooted trees and even toppled statues. similar scenes have been filmed into one where c d 's, including the capital type, pay close to businesses and schools and preparation for the storm. matcher and ferry services have been suspended in dozens of flights, were canceled the hours where the bureau is considering continuing to be the 2nd strongest type food level. it is expected to heat type ones, northern parts late on thursday, before making

a sharp view turn north east towards depends main islands, forecast se could noon may also heat parts of the east coast of china, which is still reeling from the early type food duck sewer to invite ging, which last week record it's heavy as drain soul. since records begun 140 years ago, risky operations are still under way. authorities have deployed boats to bring people from flooded areas to safety. type food can noon is not expected to reach china's capital. region, but it's food many more people across the region on high alert now onto the war and ukraine where drones have been increasingly put to use to make critical strikes on both sides. on wednesday, russia targeted the green port of is male in odessa, which lives across the river to new from romania,

a member of nato last night. ukrainian forces shot down russian drones over keith, causing some buildings to have some damage there. the attack is the latest and a series of tit for tat attacks involving drones. earlier this week, russia said that it had destroyed ukrainian drones that were targeting moscow as well as naval drones over the black sea chief has warned russia to expect more such attacks. let's get into more detail now and the use of drawing warfare and the ukraine conflict with steve wright. he's a researcher and developer of drawn and not ex thank you so much for joining us. first of all, ukraine has talked about deploying and an army of drones, both by air, and by see, do we know about their capacity to target, you know, russian hill territory or even inside russia itself a yes, the, this is, it's an interesting little nice pictures by sides been using drugs in the past for

the field and that clearly giving incremental involved teaches to self is on the ground. when the trainings itself seemed to be generally winning that race, trends and no big game chang be changes yet the, the standard weapons introduced by night. so really the big deciding factor, the mind of the missile was about the way it's, it seems to be playing out is and this has certainly been true for the years i've been involved in training development is the use of drugs in for 21st century wolf as a fall, it seems to be following a very similar small way they seem to shoot. you actuate that's 9 that croft following the 1st of the 20th century. during circle for example, bankruptcy. he made an impact on the battlefield and sure enough that across the raging city, it's never thing like that. but they didn't page. it didn't make

a huge impact on the outcome of the well. and here's the book. the big boss is 20 years later. the 2nd world war that was fundamentally the same technology. the technology devolved will be the same technology boss by that it was making a huge impact on the, on demand titles, lakes and very much making a match or how that conflict. and so i'm kind of nervously looking forward to the future as it would not might even be within the context of this. well, if it goes on long enough, i want to drill down a little bit different to both sides. capacity is in particular, um, when you look at that analysis because moscow has made the allegation that drone attacks by ukraine would not be possible without western health. how much is ukraine relying on its western partners and its efforts to expand its drone program and how much of the efforts are home ground? well, and again, this is a,

as an amazing example of how the fundamental difference in the technology that we have here is also changing the way that the technology is a client and deployed. so it's so, you know, there's lots of really useful questions because it emphasizes the difference. fundamental difference in fact uh, compared to what we've, we've been using before. and so the tests freely available on, in fact in fact give you an example. that is an old se pilots, and i've behind a surprised if it was anything with this of the vehicles that are i think the most good it but the drives it will. the hitching most go has actually been partly finance through building an online child funding can pay $600.00 a monthly anybody can buy this. and so it's a very, very freely available technology. it's another example of this that and this, this incident has enabled technology and the ukrainians of shaving sales be

phenomenally results the lips of deploying that. so in other words, they don't need my rent funding, they've got the capability, and there's also this new way of thoughts and the funding of the war as well, which is where i'm not going to go to the future. i have no idea how about on the russian side, because we know they've gotten quite a lot of help on the driver's side from the ronnie and for example, how heavily do you see the russians relying on their drone arsenal to keep the pressure on new brain you know, much, frankly and because that say the russians have been squeezed in several directions and the, the village instead of that seems to be costly less than the crating. so that's more statements about the results for most of the trains. the other side of the equation is that the actual components and the electronics and the technology to

the guys and to them is fundamentally western technology. and in fact, one of the big scrambles that's going on at the moment is an attempt to prevent this west and compose and slowly get into the hands of the russians. and there's a huge operation going on in the background. so the rest has been squeezed out and not direction as well. so yes, they cause a capability and, and the russians have sion cells refrigerate results with drugs, cost. i think they couldn't find it a lot, lot harder with dating with you trained or simply because each you've trained is just showing. so to the side patch off the market. that's really interesting stuff . drone technology expert steve. right. thank you so much for joining us to share that expertise you to attend to the united states. former president donald trump is due in court in washington. he's charged with planning to subvert the will of us voters. in the 2020 election security is being

wrapped up ahead of the hearing where trump is expected to plead not guilty. he has said that the charges against him show the corruption of the 5 and administration. this trump's 3rd set of criminal charges has seen us the most serious as he campaigns for next year's election. bald and radical left democrats were we asked political analyst katherine cover ashbrook, if trans rivals for the republican nomination will try and exploit this 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 that 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 base. if you recall the people who stormed the capital on january 6, thought that they were legitimately defending their vision in their version of their own 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. a saw 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, and now 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 and the world should rightly be on what happens over the next couple of months precisely, on this federal indictment. that was catherine culver, ashbrook albania, in southern europe, has become increasingly popular with torres drawn to its lakes and beaches. but up to a 3rd of the coast is now effected by our ocean, driven in part by climate change. locals are worrying that the rising adriatic sea is slowly destroying the landscapes and their livelihoods as dw funny for char reports. albini as the goons in the north of the country seem like paradise. but the most test your comes here to work. he's been

a fisherman for 40 years in corner of mine. the fish population has started to decline. he sense? it's just a guy who can go for it. since the moment this crab entered the goon, there's been fewer fish, fewer eel spot, a good. i've only got from one year to the next weekend. let's say i can do for this lagoon was amazing in the past and drop us. you can catch thousands on the lowes the fish of all the me. i couldn't find the cool. only the small strip of land, separate dramatic. see from the look to the water level is rising, allowing more of 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. video that we have take over there is the adrian x. see, and this is laguna when i fix the land in between. the 2 is drinking, he says, due to climate change, st. this time we have more maritime storms. erosions in the high temperatures

floods and all of this has been affecting the lagoon or anything. if 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 coast line is already effected by erosion. every year the sea advances in land, posing a threat to another slice of the local economy. tourism would be the last day or we had more umbrellas this year. we have one roll less. give me. who knows what happens next year. maybe we'll lose another row with the it'd be the other one you had. our see 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 1990, so will disappear into the sea and with it, he's 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 blah, blah blah, that's on the back. then everything was green and it should listen to it was like a forest, plus it was like the amazon amazon is billy thing, but 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 up. we need claudia and america. she's taxed with coastal conservation. but enforcing environmental law is difficult. what we suffer is they get mentation, the lack of the financial resources and also of the human resources. because when we're talking about the financial 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 impoverished country lux demo says the times when he pulled in key laughter. quito a fish alone go. more and more fishermen are quitting blue crab. that's the only thing now. abundant here. and you're up to date now on the w news. thank you so much for watching. take care.

the past, the front nearby moves ukrainian armed forces have suffered losses and need to train new soldiers all the time. our camera team, a company, recruiters,

heard about their fear and courage. and then suddenly the team to face more focused on europe. pretty clear through their own actions, their ultimate goal is to wipe out an entire city doing these to reset the week or the week of this in china and oppressed minority. the international community has no right to stay silent, because silence is always the torture is a couple of the on the

door and 6 o'clock screening. don't take mommy to my son, your mommy's not coming back. over february 2020 russian troops invaded the ukrainian city of computer and it was recaptured. 6 months later the occupation was hard. how can life go on after all the terror? not everyone can do or the fear we felt every day. when russia comes, start to august 25th on dw the hello, and it will welcome to focus on your up. it's great to have you with us and ukraine . the counter offensive against the russian of your patient is moving forward slow
