to be our guest at frankfurt airport, cd managed by front bought the this is, these are the names from the west african lead is agreed to keep pul options open, including military falls to install. so been enrolled in the ship at a crisis summit's in neighboring nigeria. echo aust, what is the deployment of stand by for? there's no signs you just print out will have that power. also coming up,

russia launches as the student mission and nearly 50 years. and the best to become the best country to reach the move itself, polls and directions in ecuador. we'll go ahead despite the coming on the presidential candidate, the i'm or him homage. thanks for joining us. we saw it in the jab where lead is of west african block eco wants to order the deployment of a stand by force. they said they want to explore every means for a peaceful resolution to the ministry to but the message is clear. if these as ministry rulers do not reinstate the countries democratically elected president, it could put the shape on a collision course with its neighbors. we stand for can leaders arrived in a boucher to move the next move it edge and mason came up to me. she is wanting to

ignore the ultimatum to stand down from the power grab. since the group sees the old diplomatic a fits to result, the crisis has been rejected by the military lead is now the ramping up the pressure to restore democracy. issuing this directive, direct the committee of the chief of defense stuff, to activate the equity done by force with all its elements immediately order the deployment of the equity fund by force to restore constitution of order in the republic of news yet. but it still isn't clear what that will look like for the standby force, likely to take weeks if not longer to assemble. the block also reiterated its commitment to finding a peaceful resolution. earlier the one to talk to a 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 are 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. as 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 awareness of what comes next. really after the who did the, our country really leave and the bug situation. why i see a bug situation? because do this, if you look everywhere, we can see everywhere there's lights up lights of night. so i think is going to use it. 40 to ship. i mean, interview, not military interview. tough sanctions on media maintenance,

struggling with rolling power caps and supply chain disruptions, creating food and susan t for residents, a wasting the next move in the countries future. deputies west africa, correspondents. i'm a coy as covering the story for us in the united, jerry and capital a buddha. she has more on the echo us decision to activate a stand by for most of us listen to her to the thought to statement. it was not clear. exactly, what's the mean? does that mean troops essentially on ground? i need that's what it means. does a mean just choose uh, which presents i know those sort of aggression perhaps. what does that clarity mean? i 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 you wasn't having to put in any pause in any country is quite competent in tends to you so it was also investing to see that as easy to the

country is even if the means of chips, 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 glad the notes push out, but yet they didn't mention that they're going to activate the force in all these elements. a washer has launch, its 1st boot admission in almost 50 years. other than a $25.00 mission will study the doing assessors and search for results. so such as pressure is aiming to be the best country to successfully land at the moon. so full, it's been pacing for that distinction with india, which noticed its own doing a mission last month. with more and this i'm joined by keith calling in washington dc. he is an extra biologist and a full month nasa employee. he currently works as a jan this covering space policy, it's good to have you with us here and dw news. so how important is this loan for russia? well, it's important. so russia in ways that are perhaps

a little bit different than everybody else. so as was mentioned in your set up these uh, this is taking them quite a long time to do this machine was proposed originally in the 19 ninety's and due to hardware problems and financial problems. it was the wage and you know, decorated to and then russia decided to evade ukraine, which shut off virtually all cooperation that is had the possible partner. so the spacecraft is pretty much picking up after the left off 50 years ago. it's a simple spacecraft as learn something, but yeah, even as was mentioned by design, just use anything at a moment ago. they do not share the information. we're not going to really lose anything because there's so many other spacecraft with far more capabilities that are going to the saw for what it's supposed to place to be. yeah, i mean, as he mentioned as big competition right now to see who can get to the moon. so what does it actually mean in terms of rushes standing in the space race as well?

if this is the moon, how is it prompts, you know, most things later here, and as you try to land down here, it gets a little more complicated. so you get bragging right score actually waiting on the sup, all the load, india, if they do it, they may do it very shortly before or after the russians do it. so we'll see, i guess at this point, i mean surprises if the russians are not going to accomplish anything. technically you're scientifically, it's just that they've, again, the vice related themselves. so the value of the spacecraft is probably more national pride than it is perhaps science. so who would you say is a head when it comes to this level of technology that's being used? well here, back in the day when i was given high school, when this thing was still being considered, there was a competition between the united states and the soviet union. now, is everything ranging from over

a competition to cooperation to things in between where it's competitive, but it's a friendly competition. i would say russia is not in the lead at all loosely land and then you can say that they've done better, but uh there's a whole range of americans spacecraft. and again this he needs to be scrapped, coming in the land that are built with much more modern technology and much more capability. so wherever it lands with, wherever crashes does, i mean, that's what it comes down to. and what should we be expecting to what it will look out for in the next 5 days as well, both spacecraft are taking the time. getting to the move, do you need spacecraft? it's taking longer. it's valid order on the moon and eventually it will come in and land around august 23rd. the russian spacecraft, the stick is about 5 days to get to the move. it will also orbit the moon for a couple of days that it will come in to the south for again, around the same time. so i don't know if the russians are in the mood to claim 1st

prize. they're going early or wait. we'll see what happens. they have been known to stage some of their events so as to get extra ranking wide. so you may actually see a, a, a competition certainly happened around the 22nd of august, just the guess. now the warren ukraine has meant that international cooperation on space involving washer has most of the end. so what does that mean for space exploration and science in general? well, you know, the international space station right now has been in operation for more than 2 decades. and there's a whole 1000000000 of people in the world that have no recollection of a time when people did not live and work peacefully in space and on that space they should it's, it's america and russia in europe, in canada, japan and then the other countries, despite all the politics and some whining and complaining perhaps we had an amazing ability to get along with russia and with all of the other countries involved for

these past decades. so i like to say that perhaps we've learned to do something in the space that we can't do on or that may be a big benefit. we will see. all right, that is keith calling, speaking to us from washington dc. thank you very much indeed for your time and analysis. my pleasure for a 2nd look at some of the stories making headlines around the world. india is prime minister and arrange remote is government has one and no confidence. those empowerment opposition m. p.

a political force, it is really about the situation that the country is going through, and it shows the insecurity which all of us citizens find ourselves. but beyond that, it is a collective feeling that we want a peaceful ecuador. the vote is set to go ahead on august 20th, but some candidates have suspended their campaign events in the run up to election day. just as far as now and tennis in particular where caroline was in new york, he's one of the canadian open has been brought to an end from a world on the one playing her 1st tournaments. nearly full use was the featured by wimbledon champion or care to load or serve up. and then there was also a wind for the wimbledon men's champion colors. okay. yes. carlos altura took the quote for the 1st time since winning wimbledon in mid july. and then one of the last preparation tournaments before the us open,
