how can life go on after all the terror? not everyone can endure the fear we felt every day. when russia cars start to august 25th on dw, the . this is due to the news life from berlin. west african leaders meet to talk about new share. they've convened in that curious capital of the coordinator regional response to the crew talks follow the military junta, announcing a new government for this year. also coming up dozens of people dying a wildfire on hawaii. now we island the blazed,

turns one of the islands historic townsend ashes. devastating the harbor and surround the air and an ecuadorian presidential candidate assassinated its just days before the election. speaking out against corruption and drug violence may have cost him his life. and even as it wages war in ukraine, russia is counting down to its 1st moon mission in about half a century. the timeline, good crop. welcome to the program. west african leaders have gathered in the nigerian capital a boot. jeff, for an emergency summit on this year that jerry is president bullock to nubile said in his opening statement that eco was, would try all diplomatic groups to ensure the return to constitutional rule in the

chair, including dialogue with the q leaders. a summit comes 4 days after they ignored a deadline to reinstate the countries president. the far from backing down to announced a new government hours before the start of the summit. earlier, i talked to chris for a more day. he's an associate editor for world politics review and international affairs magazine. i asked him, what equal was hopes to achieve with this emergency summit in a bush? well, officially, the, they want for the restoration of president by zoom into power. you know, that's been the official position for him to be released and returned back to office. of course he had that meeting a couple days ago more than a week ago with the monday he'd be returning the call in the week and a see if he wasn't returned the that would be the possibility of military force that deadline has now passed. but there was no military actually,

mainly because support for military action in the region as well as the nigeria was spotty at best. you know what the president of them, they do have a lot to new books pushed very aggressively for many military response, but many northern nigeria law because whose speech bored that way very to point the idea at as it was, as was said earlier in the introductory young, keep the resources for that kind of mature, not just not being so now is essentially they're trying to give the area on and off rent to people with echo us. but in reality, the most of the restoration of buy soon to buy getting sleep. i buy it to the, you know, there's now the new government that does announce that you know, the window for trying to get back. so we'll need to by closing, by did the so what's the period good for the cost? yeah, let's talk about that more. how much is echo watches, credibility, writing on how it handles this crisis and what the outcome might be as well i,

i hear this said not above that goal was, is crazy. busy and i am somewhat to be the same time that on breakfast on the premise that it causes credibility is necessarily going to be significant in dented by the lack of military actions. in this instance, i would argue that 1st of all, i cause it's going to be easy to was already been to be didn't in the regents in price, the model, the gene a book. you know, if i slowing down the, we know, into lucky to us have simply disregarded many of the positions that it was taken because many in the regions simply don't think of it does incredible organizational merely because some of the lead us, all of the heads of states of equity speeds have done so let's see questionnaire, kristen and the questionable democratic of things and data and see whether it's the extended to attenuate pie as you know,

human rights abuses. so i'm not sure that this one instance is the one thing that blown tech was this great ability. it had very easy to, to begin. what are the impression was movie on eco was what are the implications of this coo beyond the share, or even the region? and if there is escalation, what does this mean for a broader audience? people who are, might not be familiar with the west african regions. so i just, i suppose the, the security issue in the saw help and is this perhaps the most significant, the timing of what, who happened to you on the region when you look at the countries that board is that board as i'm major area. and molly and book, you know, fossil, the coastal waste applicants, these have, you know, ca, so be security crisis babe. but also the democrats, the question of, what does she does? these normalize the sort of a quote unquote returns. because that's the biggest, that france to united states,

the united nations, the african union, the regional, the international partners of the countries in the region. and that's in the field for them as well as the countries themselves. all right, we're have to leave it there, but thank you very much, christopher on you monday for that update. thank you. let's take a look now at some other storage making headlines right now. ukraine has announced the humanitarian coroner to allow dozens of cargo ships that have been trapped, and it's blacks the ports since russia's invasion, to be able to leave safely. but the right of the ukrainian navy is warning that risks remain from mines and russian attacks. moscow has ramped up strikes on ukraine's ports since quitting greenville last month. poland is planning to station up to $10000.00 soldiers on its board with bella roost. the arrival of russian mercenary wagner group, and beller bruce last month as sparks security concerns in warsaw. the leader of bella, ruth has repeatedly said he's been restraining. wagner fighters,

who have wanted to attack, pulled us president joe biden has announced new curts on american investment in sensitive technologies. in china, under the new rules, us, investors will be barred from funding chinese companies and high tech sectors. like advanced computer chips and artificial intelligence. washington says the measures are meant to stop chinese military from getting their hands on cutting edge technology. at least 36 people have died in a wildfire on flies, valley island, official say the desk occurred on the historic town of china, which has been devastated by the police. hundreds of buildings had been destroyed in thousands of residents, had fled, the fast moving flames. us present, joe biden is sending the military to help fight the fire. still burning on malley and the nearby big island. paradise lost as flames and gulf. it's the resort town of the high. no. the only escape was by sea. some wasted until the last

moment to flee to the bar is our thoughts are nearest time to go. firestone and i just got to know when the fire ripped through the tourist hotspots with little warning. many of these buildings no longer stand with this is a much of love. hina has been turned to ash and we just had the worst disaster i've ever seen online through

the federal park lips. evacuation efforts were disrupted by power and telephone service outages. roads were cut by flames. fire experts say molly island was waiting to ignite droughts had left the dense bush land dangerously dry winds play when we are preparing for the hurricane . we. we expect green legs, we expect floods. we never anticipated in this state that as a hurricane which did not make impact on our islands will cause this type of wealth flyers while fliers that wiped out communities. while fliers that wiped the businesses, while fliers that destroyed homes, officials searched the tourists to stay away from the holiday island. thousands

took shelter in the airport, waiting to evacuate. we're actually going to go to greece. there's a lot of wildfires there so because of the wildfire, hawaii is just the latest place affected by extreme conditions. scientists say the world has just experienced its hottest month in recorded history, exacerbated by human, caused climate change earlier and spoke to robert watson, the former chair of the intern governmental panel on climate change. i asked him if the government in hawaii should have anticipated these buyers. i think some stories all around the world was you've got large force. it systems has to. i insisted pike far as far as in the future with you and choose climate change. we're going to say more it street type purchase. we're going to say more drives the perfect conditions

so far as far as like this. so let's, let's get more into the climate change aspect of it. of course, the forest fires. wildfires are nothing unusual. they do happen whether this climate change or not, but you're emphasized for us just how does climate change impact forest fires like what we've seen now in molly as well. what we're saying is that sense, which is around the world, the increasing juicy schuman activity, but also is not just the average temperature. we see more of these very st. temperatures. we also see changes in precipitation passes, where it says floods in some air is a drive. so now this is what we say is a combination of drugs mainly in various forests, a dry bye have a lot of q i would use is starting to get high temperatures at the high winds. the perfect conditions,

we're seeing the big china that we're seeing them in greece without saying in hawaii. these are the sorts of phase we're going to say it's far as all around the world. i'm glad you just mentioned some of those other places where we're seeing yet another summer of intense wildfires. it does feel like we could just replace the geographic location and ask the same questions. so on that note, given that this seems to be a new normal, is there anything that can be done as an end to mitigate this risk? what seems to be increasingly severe fire seasons? as i say old far as services around the world of got to realize the potential for these far as size is increasing, bigger the human inches climate change. therefore, if i have to have strategies to minimize these far as size, they're going to have to do far as saving. that is, do we assume the i'm the grows. they can do that with just $125.00 as you need the

food together. certainly in the united states, the far as uh, this is looking at how you could be the bias, the risk that is a combination of managing the forest by sitting and especially the i'm the grows i've been doing, some controls buys. so when you do effectively get, as far as thought is old, managed to believe the future, you need to reduce what we call the tools out the amount of dr. budget size. and that's too low does seem to be quite intense. and what we're seeing in my way, robert was we have to leave it there. thank you very much for joining us. former chair of the i p. c. c. thank you very much. i could always government has declared a state of emergency after a presidential candidate was assassinated on the campaign trail. the killed politician was known for speaking out against corruption. fernando, the sense here was shot dead at a political rally in the capital. he wasn't a front runner in the elections, but still had several death threats against speaking to supporters and what became

his last speech in this democracy, cost our lives. this country has cost our lives. we won't permit a new treason presidential candidate for a number of the sense you were shocked. while inside the truck moments after leaving this riley where he spoke about the dangers of challenging drug cartels and addressing the corruption gripping ecuador authority said at least 9 others were injured in the shooting. the gunman was reportedly killed by police the wrong, we experienced the horror movies yet this 3040 shots were fired with machine guns. almost all the wounded falls. i know there are some dead. unsightly,

fernanda vincent, you was assassinated a little time in the little so, i mean it also seemed to be sent to you had a long history, challenging those in power. first, as a journalist who posed the corruption scandal involving the former president that landed him in 18 month prison sentence for defamation. and later, as a legislator and a national assembly which was dissolved triggering the presidential election, the sense you ran as a centrist anti corruption candidate, ranked 5th out of 8 in the polls. while the vote will go ahead as planned, some candidates have now suspended their campaign events in the run up to the election days. let's get more on this with a journalist and key to as a on a board r g. thank you for joining dw, for it to give us some more information on this. and i think my 1st question is we have a sense here was as we just heard, not

a front runner in this election. why kill him as hello william? uh well as you, what do you say is true, but did you ever since your was uncomfortable see you were for many, including televisions and criminals. did you ever since you became known the 1st case complains and investigation and corruption issues links to fully patients, especially on oil issues. um one of his investigations net to the physician that ended in the sentence single former president rafael graham. now, as a candidate for the president sick, he's a speech against corruption and organized crimes. strong action was if you came to glover and was not afraid the public yet do split issues or mach your bosses. that's why it is difficult to know what really happened yesterday. so he, there may have been any number of enemies that he made that might want to do him harm. is there any news about who was behind this attack?

lucky it's uh they'll target these have not said anything on the monitor. but last night there was a video circulating about creating a gap claim into mordor. but that's false. we will have to wait in the next phase for the investigation is to progress. can you put this a single act of violence, political violence in a larger context for us? what is ecuador like when it comes to safety and violence? well, this is something very compl. explain. it would require an in depth analysis, but we have had a, as uh, chris and the state of the security in the for the past couple years. due to domestic and forwarding issues. and it's very complex because the guy who's on cartels linked to drug trafficking or gaining power here. so we have

have a lot of political violence lately, especially traits. a couple of weeks ago we had and major deals here by one of these guys. so it's getting really, really, really complex to guess what is going. it's happening next, but we are expecting for a different kind of action or from the government. and they all sort of this involved in the matter, right? journalist in there and key to other the honorable every thank you very much for bringing us the latest. let's get some more headlines now. thousands of people in south korea have in order to evacuate as tropical storm known sweeps north, hundreds of flights as well as rail service. if it had been suspended. the storm is expected to hit the densely populated sol area before moving to north korea. early

friday. the any awards have been postponed by almost 4 months because of the hollywood actor and ryder stripe televisions, biggest night of the year, typically takes place in september, but will now be held in mid january. the strikes me that a list, stars, and nominate use would not be allowed to attend the event. after decades of space, this interest in the moon, the last few years have seen a boom emissions there. and now a number of countries seemed suddenly again interested in grabbing a piece of that lunar pie in the sky. on friday, russia is due to launch its attempts to put a lender on the surface of the moon. the lunar 25 mission is the 1st time russia has tried to reach the moon since the lunar 24 went there and back again in 1976 when russia was still part of the soviet union. this latest emission has been plagued by delays, but if all goes according to plan,

the 800 kilogram lander could touch down on the lunar surface by the end of august . russia space agency was cosmo says after arrival, the lender will analyze soil samples and conduct other research for a year. its findings, though, will not be shared with visa or now. so we have for discontinue the corporation, was, was customers. so most of the rest of invasion um, but um, when we were still in the corporation, the scientific object us would have to have a better understanding on the regular and on zillow. that dustin pass me a range of admissions sponsored by different nations and even companies have failed in recent attempts at soft landing on the moon. although far safely accomplished in the mid 19 sixty's landing, safely on the lunar surface rather than crashing there remains a challenging technical proposition. the indian space agency knows only too well

how difficult a soft landing can be. it launched a 2nd mission to land on the moon in mid july. its 1st attempt to come down softly and 2019. sailed the chandra on 3 land or has a longer flight plan so could actually be touching down around the same time as rush is lunar $25.00. those missions are aimed at the moon's southern poll davi. it was a post, so typically are the most interesting areas not only to look for the history of the universe, but also we know that there was abundance of walking on the craters. i see water and the water can be used to produce hydrogen and oxygen. and this, we all know that's the source of life as nations gear up for what many experts see as a new era and space exploration. the moon will play a central role mode for its resources and is a stepping stone for further endeavors with the lunar $25.00 mission. russia is

also trying to get in on the ground floor. now someone who knows a thing or 2 about rushes space. missions is 0, rush at those degrees, riga bureau chief, but used to report from moscow until he, like many journalists, were ordered out after the russians invasion of ukraine, your attorney to space. how important is this lunar mission for russia? while this luna mission is very important for russia, if we can see that the russian was a leading country in terms of space, travel and space exploration, if we can see the trash. it was also a leader in luna exploration many, many years ago. and if we can see that the prospect is currently politically associated only with the warranty. great. and then we can understand why. so for the last to the end of the hall refresher has been producing only negative headlines, at least in the best of the old. and yeah, this is the 1st time that this huge country is being talked about in

a different scientific context of to all space. this is the only place and only going to go to swear. bullet explains almost to no rule almost almost, but that almost as does a lot of heavy lifting there. and on that no, no rush is also known for a good deal of missed and this information will we know. and when will we know if this mission is even successful? as well as the duration of the slide is going to be a bog phone off the phone for fun health days and after that because the station is planned to enter r a bit, the wrong does the moon and land near the south pole. the research as it should last a year. the main tasks of the mission is supposed to be exploration of resources on the moon, including water as the success of the mission. that's for sure. for sure. it's very important for us to science because seems as important you create and to begin, the russians have had them know almost no international cooperation anymore. is your opinions based agency and not to have put all contracts on hold

a protest against the war and, and all joining scientific research in space. yet russell remains dependent on western technologies in the only place where called duration is to going on is to the international space station as, as that's why the russians wants to show that they can continue the space program despite of the war. even if an unlimited wait. now that's at a political level that you spend a lot of time in russia, you have interacted and spoke to a lot of russians over the years. what do you think is the russian space programs going to impact on ordinary russians? what look at every nation has something very special that is proud of in the soviet union. well, i was born and where is it was a lack of everything. we sat there are 2 things where we are looking for waterfront in valley and then space. i that was of course, after the 1st minute space was that russian to you regarding because those days long gone. uh,

the only things that options to approach the proud of in the last the case was the americans and the, you know, piece that they flew to the us through the ice as was an option. so use talk if i myself intended a launch of that trash and rocket with the u. s. american and the germans, the russian of products is actually customer don't bike on or it was a big celebration people boasted with champagne, but that's to is old. is the best and author know it's no longer fly with the russian, so you struck it bought with space x from a little mosque. so it seems that there is nothing left for the russians to be proud of today, especially when we can see does that the list of participants easy? let's say, luna, race expense rapidly along with the state company is nice at all. costs must entropy in space. agency, private pumping flights of the moon over the past 2 decades to from japan, china, india, and use a lot to unpack. they are dw, to read a bureau to you. if you are to shadow there, to help us unpack it all. thanks very much and keep looking up and let's go from

one's base story to another 1000000000 or richard branson's. virgin galactic has launched its 1st flight carrying pain, taurus into space. spacecraft was attached to the belly of a mother ship that took off from new mexico. after the aircraft reaching out to 15, kilometers through the rocket, powered craft and blasted off further into space on board was an 8 year old british island being who brought it in the box is ticket 18 years ago and the caribbean mother daughter do oh for one there tickets in a contest, the trio floated around waitlist for just a few minutes before returning safely to earth. you're watching dw news. let's get you a reminder of our top story of the leaders of the west africans lock make a watch have gathered in the night, jerry and capitol for an emergency summit. they are discussing the next steps as certainly shares crew leaders ignored a 7 day deadline from eco was to reinstate to the post. press your
