and not everyone can endure the fear we felt every day when we started august 25th on dw the . this is the to the news i from put in the death toll from a wilds. far in hawaii rises to 53. the place turns one of the islands historic towns to ashes, devastating the hava ad surrounding areas plus russia and launches. it's the student mission in nearly 50 years. and it bids to become the best country to reach the moon,

south pole and west african leaders of greece to keep all options on the table, including ministry falls to restore civilian reuben asia echo off. what is the deployment of a stand by force? but there's no science of nisha, it's going to, willing to hand back power the homage. thanks for joining us. more than 53 people have died as a result of devastating ball flies on the hawaii island of maui. officials say that the death toll will rise and what they believed to be the states deadliest natural disasters since the sonoma struck in 1961, a historic town reduced to a smouldering pile of ash and rattle once the capital of the former hawaiian kingdom. the high now is usually bustling with stores. now much of the old town has

been destroyed. so many residents are cause i've got some even jumped into the ocean to escape the oncoming flames. tens of thousands of locals and tourists being evacuated from the island. and for those remaining sadness for what is lost an anger of what could have been done to still pick the vials. this is not even the worst of it. still get the bodies in the water floating around the sea. well, they've been sitting there since last night. we've been pulling people out since last night trying to save people's lives. and i feel like we're not getting the help we need us. president joe biden has said that hawaii will get everything. it needs a socrates. the sight of fires and now mostly contained, but the damage is done when the blazes broke out, much of hawaii was under a red flag, fire risk warning. what exactly starts into fires is out to you know,

but the conditions like a confluence of extremes, severe drought, power constraints, wins, amplified by climate change has led to catastrophe. most of it has long since passed move mission in almost 50 years for the $25.00 mission will study the doing the surface and search for results as much as pressure as they mean to be the 1st country to successfully land. as the move south pole is competing for that distinction with india, which dodged its own during admission last month. and with more than 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 as 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 the hardware problems and financial problems, it was delays and you know, her decorated to and then russia decided to evade ukraine, which shut off virtually all cooperation that they had with possible partners. so the spacecraft is pretty much picking up after they left off 50 years ago. it's a simple spacecraft and learn something, but yeah, even if, as was mentioned by design, just use anything at the moment ago. they do not share the information. we're not going to really lose anything because there's so many other spacecraft reform or capabilities that are going to the soft full but they're supposed to place to be. yeah, i mean, as he mentioned is a big competition right now to see who can get to the moon. so what does it actually mean in terms of russia's standing in the space race?

really, 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 mood, india, if they do it, they may do it very shortly. before or after the russians do it. so we'll see. um, 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. huh. so who would you say is a head when it comes to this level of technology that's being used? well yes, it's back to the day when i was given high school when this thing was still being considered for a. so there was a competition between the united states and the soviet union. now is everything ranging from over competition to cooperation to things in between. whether 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 american spacecraft. and again, this he needs for his crappy to me 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 when it comes down to. and what should we be expecting to look out for and the next step, 5 days. well, both spacecraft are taking the time getting to the move, the indian spacecraft. it's taking longer. it's valid or better on the moon, and eventually it will come in and land around august days that it will come in to the south pole again, around the same time. so i don't know if the russians are in the mood to claim 1st prize. be 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 competition certainly happened around the 22nd of august, just a guess. now the warning 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 as 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 case calling speaking to us from washington d. c. thank you very much indeed for your time and analysis. my pleasure. let us take a look at some of the stories making headlines around the world. india is prime minister and arranger, lo, these government has won a no confidence, those in parliament opposition and peace of accused. the government of sting, silence about athens. violence in the northeastern state of money for, for they say, shall, will couch before the speaker of the house, quote, a vote. ukraine says a russian strike on the civilian building and separation has killed at least one pass. and this is the 2nd attack on the southern city in recent days, the city is about 50 kilometers, has from europe's biggest nuclear power plant. tunisia now what lead is a for west african block? echo was have ordered the deployment of a stand by force. is that the one to explore every means for a peaceful resolution to the ministry to but the message has been kept. if miss yes,

men attribute is to not reinstate the countries democratically elected president. it could put the jack on a collision course with its neighbors. as we stand for can lead as arrived in a boucher to mos in next move it urgent. mason came often easy as one to ignore the ultimatum to stand down from the power grab principals. the group says all diplomatic efforts to result the crisis have been rejected. by the military leaders . now they're renting up the pressure to restore democracy, issuing this directive. direct become a t, a be chief of defense stuff, to activate the aqua stand 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 force, likely to take weeks, if not longer, to assemble the block. and so 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're aware, a recent reports that president obama resume of new share in 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 they continue to be arbitrarily detained by members of the presidential guard in nature. 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. way i see a bug situation. because do that, if you look everywhere, we can see everywhere there's lights up lights up. that's all i think is gonna be tough to use it for you to should. i mean, interview not ministry interview tough sanctions on media maintenance, struggling with rolling powered caps and supply chain disruptions, creating food and susan tea for residents awaiting the next move in the countries future. or the deputies west africa correspondent. i'm a call. corey is covering the story for us in the 9, jerry and capital a bu, john. she has more on the equity decision to activate a stand by force. when most of us listen to her, it's a 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 choose uh,

which presents a, not 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, i've 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 a capital intensive. so it was also investing commodities. 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 with the resources will be coming from? again, that's gladly is not pushed out, but yet they didn't mention that they're going to activate the force in all these elements. to echo, as government has decay, the state of emergency after presidential candidate was assassinated. fernando v. a . c sense jo was shot dead at a political rally. he wasn't the front runner, but his attacks on corruption to various. that's right.

dorians are outraged. they have taken to the streets to protest the killing of presidential candidate. fernando via these ends you. he was shot moments after this riley where he spoke about fighting cartels and corruption in ecuador the road, we experienced a horror movie. youth of 3040 shots were fired with machine guns. almost all the wounded falls. i know there are some dead. and sadly, fernanda vincent, you was assassinated a little time in the last, i mean it also seemed atara. do you see that the shooting left? several others wounded? now the government has declared a state of emergency. and president, demo also has promised that the scaling would not go unpunished. v, as in 0,

it was one of the 8 presidential candidates and his schooling. hester, good concerns about security, disposal, properties, disposal. i'm very sad. i'm hurt. my country hurts me. how is it possible that there's so much in security and that nothing can be sold, that nothing can be done? it was horrifying. a plan to really put it, you know, it's the letter. i mean, it is really unfortunate, accurate or suffering. this is not about a candidate or 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 wanted 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. you're watching dw news. here's our mind to all of our top story. the seller,

the desk sold from wild fires in hawaii, molly island has risen to 53. officials say they expect that number to rise. it's considered the us states west natural disaster and more than 60 years, hundreds of buildings have been destroyed in thousands of people have been evacuated, are for watching business is coming up next. by the i sorry, so one on 6 times increasing county, more people than ever on the move worldwide. and such a gun. one is very hard to say, very difficult to find out about how many info migrants.
