the, the, the, the we news life member let independent say and these there, but it's democratically elected president of the tanks and the general now in charge of warren's neighbouring countries. of any intervention and rallies of crews of porters waved their national colors mixed with russians flagged as new jersey, self appointed leader promises fresh elections. also coming up, donald trump arrived in washington to face his most serious criminal charges. yes. he's accused of using his power in office to overturn joe biden is when the 2020

election at the women's world cup a shock defeat. for germany, the 2 time winner is knocked down in the group stage of columbia as morocco advanced to the last 60, the really it's good to have you with us. hundreds of people have rallied in these areas capital city. i'm a apparently and support of the military who and i was recently out that president mohammed by zoom. the rally comes as news your celebrates its independence day from former colonial power france and to a french sentiment has been running high since the co independence tanisha. and that's what supposes of the military one. so say that defending on the anniversary of new jersey, independence from france. hundreds, gavin,

in the capitals main square to protest weston and regional sanctions in response to the recent to they also denounced the threats of nutrients prevention from west africa's regional alliance. the economic community of west african states. oh echo us. it just says you need more people are joining and, and we will protest against all these echo us countries and anyone that wants to impose in you remain and on popular measures on the share event. let me use it on sunday at cost gave the hunter rule as one wait to transfer power back to the democratically elected president mohammed visited and asked it in last week's crew . the but the cruise lead a general of do, rough minus jani, has hinted at a possible compromise, supporting flowed limits year on the buses. once the tense emotions have gone, we can insure the conditions for a steady transition within a relatively short deadline. that the general election and especially

a better approach, you know, fight against terrorism and saving a country from economic and social pain. the north of lead going through the territories, many and new shad blame fonts for that's pain there. new shared shaved independence . 63 years ago pro. when to demonstrate to say the full, mcdaniel power has continued to exploit and asia, a resource rich nation with one of the worlds pores populations. the failure of sciences nutri presence image at the end is limited. insurgency has also left some dissolution. now, many supporters of the queue, hoping the country will turn towards russia in the hopes of finding a new allied electron wrap. let's do that with the w corresponding, i'm on coal, coal. you who's covering best from neighboring 9 theory, a good to see america. we just heard the cool leader signaling his willingness to

seek a transition back to democracy. how believable are his words. that's a very important question to you as to the call. i mean, for those people who don't have those who are in support of them, they have such a reason to believe for the say, what's the of the mileage on a, it's promising them, you know, this is one of the ones here. he seemed to be telling them in a previously we had been saying this, and we're going to have the promising you a smooth transition, including i'm election laws who are supporting a pool. we have the, the growing numbers. we have seen them in green numbers, blues that came out to be saying that this is what was the winter, no more, a foreign interference, no more from the states that have several reasons to believe that it's a bit easy because this seems to be a, his seems to be saying exactly what it was for here, linda. she said, well, let me the sheep. other people come resumes for me to shoot. that's easy. yeah. i'm not too far off. maybe with that being led by proxy, if you like,

but that is a former colonial power to like me. so if we were to take his statement seriously and an election wouldn't be held soon. what this satisfied the regional block echo was to it is very unlikely that that's would make any sense to equal was because as you do know equal, as is some of the points that the post president east, the democratically elected president of louisiana republic. i'm sort of like them any other voice, but it's not scheme. it's not democratic. the through of the, of the post president for them. he said threats to democracy, even though he's promising, you know, it's most trying to be sure. i mean, even on the election, i mean, or what business could be the question of why the election? remember that's gen ed, that's the post president. both of them is just into that could be it. so i the candy, this is not going to have to you know,

going to impress you. cool was really because what there was, is the retaining or such as school. we to reinstate bob. the depos president of the democratically elected president of the republic of the chair. mm. the cool leaders . how the backing of neighbors burkina faso. and molly, how could this affect the prospect of a diplomatic solution to all of this, to the situation where we are seemingly seeing the split even within a cause we have but cannot possibly we have mildly, we also have guinea saying, listen, we don't stand by this functions we do this functions that is imposed on the shared by equal wise. so it's a situation where it seems like it's going to equal as itself, that is supposed to be for region not for usually it's not having it together in terms of members. now remember also that these are both, but can apostle ad, bobbi andes, you're also, i know my friends are calling these, you know,

i'm friends because it's so it's, it's concerning for the region because this seems to be some sort of a last we be saw with within the eco, i'm not going to just be like the core even further because it cannot be compromised as a blog. then there is a problem that i'm people with. i mean 10, no problem. like we are the restorative divisions then that's going to be will be my room for chaos of instability even within the e. cause of saw that today on the 63rd anniversary of new jersey, independence from france. broken to protesters have been marking the day many chanting, anti friends slogans, and waving russian flags. we just saw it in the report that how important are these 2 foreign powers to the crews, supporters or the question of impulses, especially of friends now add to these areas. quite debatable. we have some very

strong, you know, as different sentiments. the members speaking to someone or that's the i'm, you know, he said that today is indeed the independence because we are celebrating, being able to go to court, take out the french, so impossible in this case as far as the, you know, those who are supporting the tax is concerned, they really don't see any really bustling portions of the french to them, or russia. again, we know that some people may be seen that they may be, i don't what you need to quote, you know, russia increase input, unstructured further tanisha. remember, that's already in mildly, is already didn't i read about a few like where it's missing already. butterfly is why it's so fresh. um, even though we has the people come on, the the, i mean the average these young man said we want a rush. we've lost plenty got some statements, for instance, from the woodside to see if this is what we wanted. this is the way we want to go.

we really wanted to come by us, which was, you know, what's happening now with russia, you know, a more engine to live in. so that's really the case. yeah. now the foreign actors aside, how much domestic support is there really for the cool among the people of new year . a that's a very important question because the 1st day of the cool we saw, you know, some voices that way as the cool and so, you know, we asked for democracy, but very interestingly, i'm very quickly, we are seeing the goals questions seemed to have not been silence, so whichever more those who are for before, which means that there are more people in support as well. today, most of the people who came out, i really say we are in support of the, of the who we are. and so part of kicking out and before going into fair as well and supports that the ministry should take well, but we are in support, the ones to see me in the jet. and these are the whole, all of was,

it doesn't matter. even if it's just not the minutes or you don't want to leave that, well, it's not speaking for us who is to speak in a few like a full so yes, there is mastic support. interestingly, it says growing, especially among the average news around just seems to be say, this is our time of this is really watch. it will go. how that's going to try to play is was, will begin to seem to come in just because with several, every pool is different. it's not about a cult i'm facing the situation with what's what? so perhaps the model or but cannot actually is going to work for a new share. also. they really isn't like a call you. thank you very much. that was very clear to or in the united states farmer, president donald trump is due in court in washington. he's charged with plodding to subvert the will of us voters in the 2020 election security measures are ramped up . i had of a hearing where trump is expected to plead not guilty. he claims the charges

against him show the corruption of the 5 minute ministration is drums, 3rd, set of criminal charges and being seen as the most serious is currently campaigning to return to the white house in the 2024 election. and our washington bureau chief in his pull is on the story for us. he joins us from the court where trump is scheduled to be arranged. an hour from now is what's going on there right now to write me call this address judge. he's accused of undermining democracy, the foundation of a democracy here in the united states. and it is interesting that this court, how is right behind me, you guys are expected to attend in an hour or so. it's very close to us. maybe you can. so our views very close to this building, this is the capital which was stalled on this january 6 after donald trump delivered the speech around noon saying i quote him here,

the fight like hell. and if you don't fight like hell, you are not going to save a country anymore. so i was there and i really felt i experienced the change of mood after he did live at the speech. many of the protests was behind me from from supporters and those who are critical with him have also being there on this journey 6 in 2022. i awesome how they feel about today. let's haven't listened into what they told us. i'm here. i'm here to celebrate because by the end of the day today, trump's going to get another 5 points in the pulse. and it's very exciting. um, every time they do, one of these indictments trump goes up in the polls. i think that trump poses a threat to our democracy and his supporters. i think that he should be held accountable for the crimes that he committed while he was president. and i think this is long overdue. i really hope that the truck is going to live here stronger

than ever. i really hope that donald trump is going to show to the american people, that this is a fight against them. he should have been locked up long, long time ago before he even made it to the white house. right. divided opinions there on the streets of dc is what's to be expected today as well. he probably will arrive at the courthouse and 45 minutes or so they probably don't take fingerprints. and mock starts with it's like code, but as he's known so well, this is not necessary and would just be insulting. and that's nothing anybody wants to do here. they will and see you and lay out everything in front of him and his legal team. then he will be honest, if you please guilty, definitely won't do that. and everything probably will be over in 45 minutes or so . and then the judges and the lawyers are going to work. you don't to call it is important to understand a that's a,

the prosecutors really hope that they can deliver a verdict in spring before the republicans nominated their presidential candidate. why is that? because once donald trump might be back in the white house, it would be very, very difficult. if they come up with a verdict, nobody knows with ben what's happened. so they try to get this done by spring next year. uncharted territory is so many times already this year at w. washington bureau chief amos, full walk this through all of and thank you so much. i to bring you up to speed now on some of the other stories making headlines around the world today. at least 17 people have been injured in classes between police and protesters in india. some money for state security forces 5 to your guests to disperse the crowd from the predominantly hindus, my tie community at least 120 people have been killed since may and ethnic violence

while moscow says it's shutting down 6 ukrainian ones over russia. the attacks come after russia target at the port of east mile on wednesday. the strikes hit green facilities in the city across the down new river from romania, which is a member of nato, falling to free from destroyed russian. drones also damaged a building and keywords. earlier this week, russia said it destroyed ukrainian drones targeting moscow. they also claimed to have taken out a naval drone attacking a russian warship and the black sea. as we're joined now by sam, been that he's a fellow at the center for a new american security in washington dc. welcome back to the w. good to see you. so how has modern drone technology made this war different from previous ones? well, a lot of these drones actually provide very important intelligence surveillance and reconnaissance capabilities. but they also provide a long range striking ability for either side that is

a fraction of the cost of using more expensive missiles. the fact that a lot of these doors are flying in large numbers is also indicative of the desire by both sides of military's as well as the defense industries to manufacturers. many of these drones as possible. once again, these drones are actually much cheaper and much easier to use than using expensive long range missiles. ukraine has talked about deploying both air and seaborne drones against russia. what do we know at this point about their capacity to reach russian targets very distant to the battlefield in ukraine? well, we've witnessed ukrainian maritime drones attacking russian black fleet and some possible. oh, that's a distance of several 100 kilometers. they've been multiple strikes bar, ukrainian, drones against russian territory proper. they've been able to hit military bases, energy infrastructure, and of course moscow, the capital city. so ukraine has demonstrated that it could use its drones for

longer a strikes and that the russian air defenses or electronic work, or defenses or any other significant counter measures while able to shoot down and interject some of these drones are unable to down all of them and so you great has a capacity to strike deep inside rushes territory. the moscow has claimed that these drone attacks would not be possible without western health. no, from what you've seen so far. have you creams allies been involved in these drones strikes in russia beyond providing intelligence as well. it's not clear a lot of the drones that ukraine is building are actually home grow. so this is a domestic capability. a lot of the components for you, korea, drones also come from the international market. for example, ukraine also has access to some chinese meat of components of micro electronics that they can use in manufacturing these drones. it also has a domestic high tech industry which is also a sustain ukrainian military buildings drawn. so that claim is unfounded with

respect to the actual technology when we're talking about drones. and correct me if i'm wrong here. we generally talk about combat drones, but ukraine has also made extensive use of home made off the shelves. drones. what is their role been in the war so far? when we talk about these 4 made off the shell drones, we're talking about the drones. that's the racing drone that has the re purpose is a one way kamikaze strike weapons. and it is a very potent and a very powerful tactical weapon. basically it's a short range drawn back in the library fast. it can deliver a rocket propelled grenade or, or very waiting condition, basically at a distance of anywhere between 3 to 10 kilometers. and so thousands of these dogs are used by the great against russian army vehicles stays against russian trenches and other positions. they've also been used by the russian military and their allies as well against the print forces. this drawl is very easy to make for

a relatively easy, it is relatively cheap to one drunken cost of several $100.00. so basically drove that can cost several $100.00 and damaged or destroyed tank or number of view, electing costs millions when it comes to surveillance and intelligence gathering or you're hearing that the sheer volume of drawings like the ones that you just described on both sides makes the element of surprise impossible. how do you expect ukraine and russia to adapt to this disadvantage for them? so we're both military. so now we're trying to disperse their forces. they're trying to avoid a large concentration of forces and vehicles in the field. a lot of the fighting is done at the very tactical level at the squad, at the platoon and the company level, basically just a few to a few dozen soldiers moving either during the day or during the night. and of course, both sides have these intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance assets. these are commercial drawers, i change these make you g i, they have these tactical draws, like the, the draws i just discussed, distraught the adversary. but again,

this basically forms the adversaries to disperse the forces, to hide better, and to move in small groups. those and then that either follow up the center for a new american society. thank you so much. thank you. parts of japan, taiwan and china are bracing for more empire from typhoon come noon was already showed its force on wednesday. the region is still recovering from last week's ty. soon dr. story with most of the damage done in mainland china on track. this is the 3rd major storm to hit the region in the last 3 weeks. this is type food can noon infection on wednesday. and this is the immediate aftermath. so stay on the japanese island of ok. now west has been assessed and the damage to noon took the lives of at least 2 residents and injured more than 60 there will be

which last week record it's heavy as drain fall, since records begun. 140 years ago. rescue operations are still under way. authorities have deployed boats to bring people from flooded areas to safety. a typhoid can noon is not expected to reach china's capital region. but it's put many more people across the region on high alert sports now and a massive upset at the women's world cup to time winners. germany are out of the tournament and their final group stage matched. they needed a win against the bottom place, south korea. but their opponents didn't go out quietly. gemini, survived an early escape, just 4 minutes in when the post was all that was in the way of south korea's leads . but just 2 minutes later they wouldn't be denied. so you until called german is defense and nothing to what the under ducks they had through the fitness. on the

brink of off time, germany's kept them alexandra thought, headed home to level the scores and give her a side some hope. but knowing morocco where whitney damage germany needed all 3 points. and it was pup again who gave me the lead after 57 minutes, but the referee is allowed to go the sydney low month's last minute desperate attempt was to an accurate one. juanita ended and germany pressed out in the world kept groups thanks for the 1st time in history. and our correspondent limo talkie was at the match and brisbin and shared her thoughts with us after the match. they had high expectations. they wanted to win the women sports cops, but at the end they leave empty handed. they exit as early as the group stages. we

spoke to several in germany, play us in the mix zone. and all i can tell you is that they were in shock. some of them were crying, others well holding back the tiers. they were extremely emotional. and they even admitted they were very candid about their own performance says and they said, we just went good enough. we did, you have to go out and they said, and this is something that keeps recurring when it comes to germany, is that they have all these problems and they just couldn't find a solution to it. and martina last checked them book the co trust hope set that football is a game where you have to find solutions. and germany continued to struggle against deep lines heights as we saw against korea once again today. and if you can't find an answer then hate, you're basically flying home early and this is drew. i'm a nice earliest of an exit at a woman's was cop lenovo of and lena, lot divine were 2 of the players that spoke to d. w after the match,

let's listen what they have to shut off my friend, and i don't have an explanation for what just happened. if i did, we would have played a different game, though. we will analyze the match and to make it up another notch. next time on the missed months before on a ship roughly. so that's it for $10.00. and for the last present, it was missing my feeling was when ever we lost on the ball, we weren't able to get our count of pressing game going, which was one of our trademark qualities. at the 2022 euros crescent. com. but given i just went through that experience of a, i can't analyze it properly yet on this 1st draw this, i'll have to get in touch with miss lee. this isn't the disappointment is huge. we came here with the goal to become world champions. and now it's overall group stage, and rightfully so. from day one we didn't show what we are capable off and we never reach over for 10 channels. we have desert only going home and that's fundable real fast for the images are in the house. a lot of disappointment in the german camp tonight. this is the,
