the the, this is dw news live in from berlin tonight, west african leaders agreeing to keep all options open, including military force to restore civilian rule in these air. at a crisis, somebody neighboring nigeria, they order the deployment of a stand by force. but there are no signs, but new shares. honda will hand back power also coming up tonight,

dozens of people died in a wildfire on hawaii's, malley island, the blazed printing, one of the islands historic towns to ashes, devastating the harbor and surrounding areas and ecuadorian presidential candidates assassinated just days before the election. speaking out against corruption and drug violence may have gotten them killed. and even as in wages war in ukraine, russia is counting down to its 1st moon emission in half a century. the break off is good to have you with us on this thursday to night. the possibility of a military conflict in this year remains very much on the table, the leaders of west african countries, the group known as eco, was met today in order to the deployment of a stand by force absorber. say that that language may be intentionally vague,

but the message is intended to be clear if new shares military rulers do not reinstate the countries democratically elected president. it could put new share on a collision course with its neighbors. we have more now in this report. we stand for can leaders arrived in a boucher to move in next? move it urgent. amazing. came off to me. she is wanting to ignore the ultimatum to stand down from the power grab principles. the group says all diplomatic efforts to resolve the crisis has been rejected. by the military leaders, now they are ramping up the pressure to restore democracy. issuing this directive, direct the committee of the chief of defense stuff to activate the equity fund by force with all its elements immediately order the deployment of the equity fund by force to restore constitutional order in the republic of news yet.

but it still isn't clear what that will look like for the standby, for most likely to take weeks, if not longer, to assemble the block. and so reiterated its commitment to finding a peaceful resolution. earlier the hunter took the national tv to announce a new government with me, she is deposed. presidents mohammed bosom still, and the house erased. concerns of growing about his well being. we're aware of recent reports that president obama resume of new share and his family are living without electricity, water, food, or medicine. and i can see the following or the secretary general is very concerned over the deplorable living conditions that president presume. and his family are reported to be living under as it continued to be arbitrarily detained by members of the presidential guard in new share. as the political did, law continues the people of media, a wary of what comes next. really after the who did the,

our country really leaving the bug situation, why i see a bug situation? because do that, if you look everywhere, we can see everywhere there's lights up lights of night. so i think it's going to better to use it. $0.42 on the policy interview, not military interview. tough sanctions on media maintenance, struggling with rolling power caps and supply chain disruptions. creating food and susan tea for residents, a wasting the next move in the countries future. or the now it's our west africa correspondence america. i'll call you in the nigerian, a capital allusion america. speaker watts has decided to activate this stand by force. do we even though what that is, what it means? can you walk us through the details? i think that's a very important question that you have asked to bring. so when most of us listen

to the parents and thought to statement it was not clear exactly what the mean does not mean troops essentially on ground. i need that's what it means. does a mean just trips we've present, i know those sort of aggression perhaps. what does that clearly mean as they didn't see? again, if you, if you listen to all that kind of these, you know, have been talking about, especially when that statement came out of the, the fact that even having to put in any pause in any country is quite a capital intensive. and so it was also investing me clearly see that as easy to the country is u means troops, the countries that are going to contribute, well, what's the, you know, how much, what's with the resources will be coming from. again, that's clearly is not a push out, but yet they didn't mention that they're going to activate the force in all these elements. we weren't doing the least also, i've seen very small sense of aggression authorized as of perceived in the fence. so me a just message in the most with us today, brent they go watch,

has also called on the african union to endorse its decisions on this year. we know that eco was, would also like to have you win backing. what difference would that make? i suppose that's because of the nature of the things that i've gone on in the share. this cool has also brought about the split, you know, the members of the blog. and so, because we're the ones to do everything within its pots, and be sure that it goes to the bike, you know, if it can, you know, you know, it's a be, so that the speaking from the same size of mild as they say, all the time people have really said there is no difference between the 2 bodies between equal us and a you. but yes because i asked him that $10.00 is you know, or the 90 is essentially also saved please. i agreed to this time, so i agreed to everything that we have said so that the was all you know, regionally abroad would see to be communicated on having his time stands up. but

you know, as far as his vision is concerned to us, these are these years and co leaders. they defined the last deadline that was imposed by eco y. so the end of last weekend and even yesterday, they've gone so far as to name a new government. we understand that, but half of the cabinet positions are going to civilians, but the other have are, are going to the military. i mean, how likely is it that this one to is going to back down? i mean, really unlikely, you know, as part of the incentive ends where it gets in because having to also establish their leadership and sort of consolidates the position that they're not backing out . i'm having to. ready strategically, there's really to see uh, besides the people that will be in charge, i guess. and so, so the message you know into because to say that this and i know it's really moving out any time. so we don't know,

maybe that's going to change because especially get help because there's also speaking very strongly just time on the need for them to go see it avoids i unplugged dialogue mo, i'm see for the full resolution. i mean, yeah. same as that. his grades and stuff from the i have there's going to be some sort of compromise. but yes, that's out of having the relationship a sub is, is quite as strong as i do see with i also to the body i generality. yeah, yeah, it definitely doesn't look like they're planning to change their mind anytime soon . you w as west africa correspondent, unlike a, according to joining us tonight. i'm ok, thank you. all right, let's take a look now at some of the other stories that are making headlines around the world . indian prime minister and arrange remote is government has defeated a new confidence vote in parliament opposition. lawmakers called for the motion after accusing the government of staying silent about months of ethnic violence in the northeastern state of money port. but they staged a walk out before the speaker of the house called that booked. poland is planning

to station up to 10000 soldiers on its border with bella rouge, the arrival of russian wagner, group mercenaries, and bella rouge. last month. as sparks of security concerns in warsaw, the leader of bella, rouge has repeatedly said that he is restraining about wagner. fighters who want to attack colon ukraine has announced a humanitarian court door to allow dozens of cargo ships trapped in its black seaports. since rushes invasion to leave safely. but the ukrainian navy is warning that risk remain from mines and russian attacks. la scale has ramped up strikes on ukraine's ports since quitting a deal to a well green exports last month. as a recent report by an independent russian media, it has concluded that hundreds of millions of dollars worth of restricted western electronics have found their way to russia this year. despite sanctions that are meant to prevent that, at least some of that tech is going to russia,

russian weapons that then hit ukraine. the w as an economy takes a closer look. this is what just one russian you michelle can do. here in the since you went in april, some of the gauge, 11 cruise myself to 24 people in this apartment. look just one of thousands of missiles russian has you. so find this for me. and rudy shows us how they work. just a month is you can, you know, me unit analyzed russian weapon systems. this is the k h 11 we saw on the computer . it's brain just said set in all of these important numbers. no, no, that is the russian where you can see that from the weights being put together and watched them. there is nothing to russian here except the mountain and i'll put them arkansas and the serial number model. you think the rudy quick point the finger researches of identify chips from companies including us base texas instruments in germany's in fiji, on most of the household names showing this kid was supposed to be stopped by

sanctions, a small but a year and a half into the war, russia is still getting these chips often find new routes, routes they want to keep secret, received from the right. so one on the russians know that was sent and others are watching what they do. they started filing all of the serial number on chips in weapon systems. we've shut down more recently what they're trying to make it harder to work college, what they're using before, like here, which you could see ever send a ticket. got system russian needs to keep this west in technology flowing to its buttons. manufacturers. it's been using up massages faster than any one had expected or kept it was a more than the other. obviously these missiles going straight from the sector to the front. coming up record is probably going to depend on weight. usually there is no time even and for testimony shifts, no, not even what's doing, we should down missile. so they've been billed the same months up to them otherwise . and the dish with them started with i'm with them of the 2nd one is the fund or from so can i direct you to give sanctions because we're actually closed. ukraine's

missile? defense forces say they'd see the difference in a matter of months. independent russian journalist an ex, so i've seen secret customs statistics, we show ballooning inputs from 3rd countries as most co scrambles to source electronics. many sellers might not even realize that ships being useful, says gary summerville, or research feller at the royal united service institute. a purchase think tank, the vast majority is we see something like say, a page where i want to number home or some of the systems are essentially connect, which is a kind of our shop. these chips are found to cause medical devices and even consumer electronics. most don't consider to be military grade. so on subject to the toughest export controls policy. and there is actually sort of seeing the march is on arrows and considered obsolete because as the, the, the people are being used inside the systems. the most chips being put into weapons like these, which russia from coal in china, through a complex web event, dimitris and show companies. and when we break is our quotes and sanctioned you

were typing up almost straight away. i just know my voice solution to be sure why sort of solving pressure from like electronic some nation essentially is just gonna get there and, and on the phone, getting intelligence, if you could ask the consistency my to yes. okay, good. ask me a long wait for it. all i'm seeing here is ease 96 people and you know, we've been able to establish all these connections and i don't understand the site's working. so you never go last show. um, you know, uh my coverage on the site if i chose to read the table all methodologies like say this or it and so and until things change, ukraine is going to see more devastating attacks. this is the result graveyard. in fact, you've, these are just some of the massage portion has followed that ukraine 2nd city since school began. this is what a year and a half and sleepless nights and error rates are. and so it's like if i could find

to be missed all behind every cell here is lice to the best has been up and it was being cut short gray investigators are examining these missiles, trying to find out who gave the orders to find them. and who pushed the button? but as for the people who made these attacks possible by providing where's the pots? for now, at least it seems they have little to fear. so it was neat. connelly reporting ecuador is government, has declared a state of emergency after a presidential candidate was assassinated on the campaign trail. fernando via the, since he was shot dead at a political rally. no, he wasn't considered a front runner in the race, but his attacks on corruption had drawn a numerous death threats with speaking to supporters and what became his last speech of 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 shot while inside a 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. went up the road, we experienced the harmony, the youth of 3040 shots were fired with machine guns. we saw the wounded falls. i know there are some dead. unsightly, fernanda vincent, you was assassinated models. how many i don't know. so i mean you're not gonna seem 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 months prison sentence for defamation. and later, as a legislator and a national assembly which was dissolved triggering the presidential election fee of you sent to you who ran as a centrist anti corruption candidate, ranked 5th out of $8.00 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 day. as more now i'm joined by natasha lynch, that she's a south american political analyst at the university of essex. it's good to have you with this this evening for an endo via visa n. c o. v is the latest victim of a string of violets in ecuador, but he wasn't the front runner in the presidential campaign. so why do we think that he was made a target of suspecting, organized cry to but i think he was a target because he was one of the most effective people in fighting corruption.

and, and he was very critical and outspoken of the links between organized crime and politicians, and military and the police. so the perpetrators of this were trying to send a clear message that don't mess with us if you are to open the critical organized crime that we are going to go after you. and this is right, very reminiscent of what took place in, in columbia for decades were in the last century. 5 presidential candidates were, were murdered. so we're seeing that organized crime is taken over ecuador, and they're completely involved affecting the outcome of elections. what, how does that happen? i mean, because we've been seeing ecuador, i guess, spiraling in, into this, you know, in more and more violence due to, for an cartels operations. but how did this happen is like right out the door once

was really relatively speaking, one of the safer state. but if you look at back at what happened in 2016 with the peace agreement in columbia. so this created stability there, the organized criminal groups that already had some footing in ecuador really were able to move in to ecuador and do whatever they wanted. and some of this was helped by the fact that former president rafael could yeah. i took on some policies that were not particularly effective. he got rid of the surveillance of the code, so that allowed them more free rain on the coast to operate. he privatized the ports in the airport that made it more difficult for the state to screen goods. you dismantled the, we investigated unit that was also really important. and then his successor learn what you know, really attacked in beacon these additional institutions, which then enabled, organized criminal groups to operate essentially with impunity. and the culture and, you know, emerge where organized criminal groups were deciding what was taking place. what

was going to happen. they were basically calling the shots, how the stabilizing it, could this assassination be on the political process in the country. i understand that other candidates have suspended their presidential campaigns ahead of the election. well, it's incredibly destabilizing and damaging to democracy when something like this happens because it affects what people feel like they can say where they can campaign, what they can do and not do. now from what i heard, it's going to be too difficult to, to postpone it. it would be problematic given what the constitutional rules are. and so they're going to go ahead with this. but it definitely affects the ability of people to campaign effectively. latasha lynch, that with the university of essex. we appreciate your time and your insight tonight . thank you. thanks for having. we are more stories now. they're making headlines around the world. this. our us special prosecutor jack smith is asked the judge to

begin. donald trump's trial on january 2nd, former us president has been charged with flooding to overturn his 2020 election laws. if approved, the trial would begin 2 weeks before the 1st votes are cast in the 2024 republican presidential primaries. at least 36 people have died in wild fires. in hawaii on the island of malware. fast moving fires have been driven by strong winds from a pacific hurricane. no hundreds of buildings have been destroyed. thousands of residents, a flood the flames, us president biden. to day declared, the fire is a major disaster. unlocking federal aid for the area, poland is planning to station up to $10000.00 soldiers on its border with bella roofs. the arrival of russian, wagner, group mercenaries, and bell roost last month. as far as security concerns in warsaw, leader of beller, rouge has repeatedly said that he is restraining wagner fighters, who want to attack poland after decades of space agency,

this interest in the moon, the last few years, i've seen a boom admissions there. suddenly, a number of countries seem interested in grabbing a piece of the lunar pie in the sky on friday. russia is due to launch its attempt to put a lander on the surface of the new 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 . russian 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 discontinued through

cooperation with, with customers. so most of the rest of invasion um, but um, when we were still in the corporation, the scientific object to us, we 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 both 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. both emissions are aimed at the moon's southern poll navi,

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 water. on the craters, i see water and the water can be used to produce hydrogen and oxygen. and as 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 as a stepping stone for further endeavors with the lunar $25.00 mission. russia is also trying to get in on the ground floor. for more now we want to go to your ears shadow. he's dw riga bureau chief, he used to report from us gail into a rush, order, dw, to close down our bureau. there your it's good to see you. how important is this

lunar mission for rush? i think brand does that? does this luna mission to place a very important role for russia? russia is totally isolated internationally, at least in the best in the world. and for the boss to get a hold of russia has only made them negative from the headlines. because of that, when you create it and know suddenly the variance is not talking about the process of wanting to create. and what about the west and section spots about possible rush and success? gimme a little, the exploration. we'll see how successful of this mission will be brought to the very fact of that process. as mentioned in a different context, is politically important for the crime. and space is the only place that is beyond as politics, at least almost. yeah, and that's true for everyone. in fact, when will we learn if the mission is successful, i just feel is and van and to watch youtube possible success as all of their options on the moon during the face of the mission. and we'll,

we'll find out because only the russians can report that would, that can very well imagined brand is then to face mission will play a very important role in the ration of propaganda. and anyway, the research is, should last a. yeah, the main purpose over the mission is supposedly the exploration of volt and all of the resources on the moon, if it's excess of the mission, is very important for us assigns. because since of this thought of the one you create and russians have almost no international cooperation anymore, the only place where i've called the ration is still going on is to the dimensional space station eyes as that's why russians wants to show that they can continue, continue the space program despite of the war, even if and the 20. yeah. and you mentioned this, this could be good for buying this guy propaganda. but what about on the ground? um, what does russian space program mean to ordinary brush? as well as the russians? it has been through 4 decades. we are touching up and overtaking them, everything space and it's a decades long competition between the 2 nations to to systems and 2 world views.

it started, we've been 1st man is a cost less. he was russian. your. he got guidance, something that old russian children learned very well in school. then in the seventy's and 1970. so that was a competition and wound exploration. the americans also american authors was the 1st people to walk on the moon offices that became quite around the moon. and the last pride of rations in space exploration, most of that for years is that awesome. so use a rock, it's broad american and european author knowles, to the eyes, as i was very like. is it important to be present at the loans of function rocket? i'd be buying a new customer jerome, i remember the feeling of russian solidarity was the last to be, don't ask for the politics box that's over to brand and to best and often else have been flying in mosques, expats for a couple of years. that means there isn't much left for us and so long to be proud of. yeah, yeah. just needed to say that, well, maybe we'll have to go to the moon to find unity among earthlings. again,

we will see your ears shed. it was always your thank. are you watching the w news? he's a reminder of our top story. west african leaders meeting and syria have ordered the activation of a standby course for potential deployment to restore civilian rule in an issue. and you, as president biden has declared a major disaster area. unlocking federal aid after wildfire swept through the hawaiian islands of mountain. you're watching the w news. i'll be back at the top of the hour with more world news followed by the day i hope to see you then the
