go on after all the terror. not everyone can endure the fear. we felt every day. when russia started august 25th on dw, the state of the news line from berlin, west africa echo was, comes up with a plan. the original block says it's sorted out how and when and could deploy as forces in these air. if pull meters there, do not restore power to elected president mohammed by zoomed by sunday, also coming up. 19 year sentence for alex saying, allow me

former colonial ruler in west africa's falls successfully executed 2 in 2 years. it's lead is pregnant as an active revolution against new jazz form a colonial power. france, $1500.00 french troops stationed at the base near the capital in the i'm a helping tobacco is almost insurgents of groups in the valium, rich nation, but now it seems they might not be staying much longer fast. i'd love to given frances casual attitude and reaction to the internal situation in our country. the, the national council for the safeguarding of the country decided to terminate the corporation agreements in the field of security and defense with front of exit data . after giving the old imperial power, that marching orders attention was turned to the regional power, the economic community of west african states,

or peak of us. the book said if ousted president, mohammed by zoom was not to reinstated by sunday. it could authorize the use of force leading the john to, to issue a selective that own ugly show that people aggression point war attempts that aggression against the states of news. yeah, is we'll see an immediate response and a response without warning alex, it's showing that the, i mean, she spends molly and became a fast i said that any such intervention would also be a declaration of war against them. any costs delegation was sent to negotiate, but ultimately left without meeting the june to later, oh, the aspect president light to synagogues saw in minnesota might have feelings very clear what qual affected. why didn't we do it for molly? why didn't we do it for guinea? why didn't we do it for burkina, and why are we doing it for new jersey to give one answer?

i say it's one to 2 many cool. this is not said by pro cooper test is in the i'm a who took to the streets, waving the jerry and flags. i'm some russian runs to every time it's like the one that says the country is funding, but a gloss. it's time to utilize that. if i can speak to us in the west check concerns and expanding military rooted in the region as well as growing influence, a must go the next few days or so whether this sunday deadline is a genuine sweat. well, mainly for us earlier i asked our west african corresponded unlock, i'll call you if any details of the echo as planned for intervention in user have come out a while ago in a call. we got that update from actually eco as representing service. the commissioner for a political affairs, a decent security, giving us the updates and say yes indeed, the defense to have

a base have them with how they want to go to the strategies. and the strategy also include the funding, the timing of what he did say is what exactly they are going to do. because i'm calling you to be sure to be said, you know, by the types of students who are the ones that are going to be the come out of the, in this operation, in the event that, you know, all the diplomatic options at the table. fear he did stress for a fact that, you know, what are the things that came up in the meeting if the system is creation full, was to see that this top, you know, the cool is happening in the region and that's why and this was the wants to make an example, you know, all, are we news? yeah. so that's, that's not that, that does not become the norm. and the reason we're, you know, cause happened very often and the most a democratically elected to get us all to it. but it's like i said, we don't know the details of how it says come, totally be left for the heads of states to see when it is fine. and how they want

to do that. prominent russian dissidents, alex and along the has urged rushes population to find the courage to stand up to presidents, letterman, food, and of all need made the comment after he was sentenced by a russian court to 19 years in prison for extremism as a foreigner. say this conviction is just the latest attempt by the kremlin to silence one of its most vocal critics. the anti corruption campaigner has been serving time at an torres leaf, brutal prism calling me for 2 years now. despite the lengthy sentence awaiting him, alexi novelle, and the entered the court room with a smile waiting already his co defendant, daniel called me, who had formerly worked on the valid these youtube channel with the media falls to watch remotely, the past alongside the lawyers to receive that sentences. ready ready 19 years from the valve, the lawyer and political campaign

a is already subbing multiple sentences at this penal colony about 250 kilometers for must go. no stranger to prison in a statement off to the verdict, the valid, the now said he was effectively facing a life sentence. i the, his life will that a president vladimir putin regime and of the valley and his team of long maintains the he is the victim of political persecution. something the kremlin denies the valid these press. secretary said that the latest heavy verdict was an attempt by the government to intimidate russia's opposition. the sentence is not for he, it is for russian people who with this she, when we see what is happening. so she literally is trying to price and, and me, i'll see supporters as she can. so this numerous to whom only

one go to ski or as much people as possible. what development has long voice allegations of corruption among rushes, political and business elite is also being a harsh critic of president boots in russia's most prominent opposition to stay good. now faces more time in prison. support is fair, that this new sentence will be used as an excuse to send him to an even more remote penal colony with even less contact with the outside world. before any unintelligent source, i say a russian warship has been damaged in a drone attack on russia's black sea naval base. and no more receipts. this video published on social media appears to show the same born drone moments before it hits the ship. the cream says the russian russel was seriously damaged. other online videos show the russian landing ship listing and being towed to shore. russia's defense ministry says the ukrainian attack was foiled and did not admit

any damage to any of its worship. the security analysts them until last several also spoke to the w earlier and told us what this attack tells us about a frames military capabilities. which is very interesting because if we look at the start of the war, russia had very much a set of dominance of the black sea region. it uh, managed to sort of neutralize the ukranian, a small navy. it also blockaded most of the ukrainian coasts, making it very hard for ukraine us. we know to export uh its uh its products um, before the, the, the grand de la signed it. oh, so use is very much it specials in the black sea to uh, to fire me sized cruise me size on ukrainian ports on your grain and cities. silver black sea has really been a very important area or a here to a full and an area where russia traditionally has had

a predominance. it has also used the area to provide sort of re, re replenishment to its full says in crimea and, and that long, the sort of that is the land bridge that unites don't bus to cry. mia? but what we have seen now is where the ukrainians have been able to hate at you know, you and russian neighbor full says, this doesn't mean necessarily that the ukrainian, the russian navy is going to face as severe difficulties. it is a very big enable, falls over 50 vessels, 7 submarines, and a lot of support vessels. so this is, has, in my view more of a symbolic value and it shows it indicates to the russians or they need to be much more careful. it might force them to transfer some of the fleets to more safer regions. and it also shows that, you know, there are no areas that are in the black sea in a way beyond reach. this is

a very important pull. the board of novel receive ski is also a very important commercially po, it's what i lot of the exports of russia. i translate including oil from the caspian from cause that's done so. so i think this might be seen as, as a blow. and what it indicates also is that these are, you know, on, on mind, nevo, drones, you know, kind of conflict, significant damage on this is also quite transformative. that was, don't tell us how criminal. so let's bring it up to say sleep now on some of the other stories making use around the world today. hundreds of victims, families and protesters have marched and 11 on demand justice, 4th and favorite port disaster. 3 years since a mass of glass rocks, the capital beveled, killing more than 220 people and injuring thousands more investigation has been on this brought to a standstill. i political and legal wrangling. hundreds of thousands of people

have joined an alto rally was put frances in fortune, those capital, it apparently an hour for the contents open vehicle to pass through the crowd and lisbon. just one of many events taking place. during the pope's 5 day visit before world use day, a global catholic festival and thing. now from the world of sports, afghanistan's women football team might not have qualified for the world cup in australia, but a team representing the nation is an exile. and no, but the w correspondents tom, good knowing when to meet their goalkeeper, who slept with her teammates when the telephone returned to power 2 years ago to nowadays melbourne is how. so these are scan within about 2 years ago when goalkeeper fact somebody uses the entered teammates arrived in australia, they knew nothing of the country. the only thing i just remember was all about the sydney opera house and which was from the admission movie called zima. finding

nearer, but on that's on, i can say like it wasn't important for us where we're going because the most important thing was to save our lives when the telephone kept to the power in 2021, forcing you sophia, and her teammates to flee afghanistan. they found themselves suddenly alone in the world. the challenge to reform the football team at australian club melvin victory has helped them feel at home the guy in the southern hemisphere. we lost our 1st finally back in afghanistan, and then when we came here, i was thinking like, okay, this was seen as being a service to you right now. not going to be happening like to play as a team together right now. it's going to change. so everyone of us will go after our lives and we will be separated to. so this is the end of the story for the 2nd family as well. but miracle happened like, you know, it's amazing to see we're playing as a team right now. and we have our 2nd family, which is very important for us due to the exhaust fee for no longer recognizing

this team as the official african national side. it's a sore point for the players, especially with the wells comp currently underway. here in australia, the quest to be re admitted to international competition is about more than just what happens on the page. so all right, that's the woman. we have the 2nd chance, it's amazing to be alive. so we need to have our 2nd chance to, to represent the country to her, to present, to girls and our sisters and motors who are backing up down the front and suffering from the situation which they don't have their eyes to play, to go after graduation. do you know, go outside and meet himself in the shadow of fee for the show piece festival football. the gun team of a reminder that access to sport remains on the table for many women around the world. it's a right. these players don't take for granted. you're watching do the news.

here's our top story. the stand off between me, here's cool either and the west african alliance that wants them to give up. court come to a hand this weekend. it goes to asians have broken off and equal wants as it has of plans for military action if news areas, democratic government is not reinstated in the coming days. say what this now for the business with prop watts on the properly. thank you so much for your company by the i have to say matters to us the.
