the echo us military leaders are facing a dilemma. use force and risk crease, the instability or back off and allow another west african nation to be under miller. people the block, the does have once again emphasized that on the dimension in the chair is a last resort. let's do one be in the every. busy as phase the beauty and forces of with both the military on disobedience components are ready to substitute the portal of beauty. 5 of the level pulse reduce the saw this meeting to be best testimony to the but when and how west african troops could intervene,

remains on care, new jersey, one that has already ignored an echo and was deadline to restore democracy. meanwhile, the allstate president mohammed buzzle and his family are under house arrest in the capital in the army eco was have called on the pool leaders to release the president. yet another demand rejected by new jersey, new rulers. it printed the image. i'll use the web page that precedent. no one. and let me repeat no, what do you see at the is not only the future of new jersey and democracy but also the credibility of echo was on the block is running out of time and options for restore. one seduce new order in new jersey,

dw, corresponded or lease or to cannot is following this story for us from lagos. lisa echo was says it is ready for a military intervention image here. but is there a sense there that this is just tough call? well michael uh it doesn't seem so it as we speak, the 2nd deal got somebody to just about the beginning that a gun us capitol across so it looks like for these that ministry cheese of echo us is beyond war mongering or just spice during they are safe, i refusing to take up the military intervention possibility off the table. the highlights of yesterday's meetings that i just thought there was, spoke about that a good, you know, says sending that but more like a stabilization support mission to begin with when it comes to this, when i dare be strong with us, we had up on the eco vice that commission, i dare say it by all means necessary. they'll re still constitutional order if

negotiations between the deadline to june, to echo us all data that seems to fail. so it looks like when it comes to the ministry asked me, the echo us is clearly on the table, but it turns eventually, what about the sanctions echo was imposed on the chair after the to what effect are they having miko, they are having severe economic. you know, bites and effects on the people of new jag. we have electricity called soft from the jet. from nigeria we suffice about 70 percent of the country's power. you've got lots of, uh, uh, trucks that kind of in goods and services is blocked off. and basically almost old boat is uh, the 4 major and neighboring states like cuts and acts so good. so, and also another country like been in so is they can let me caught you by being felts daily. as soon as the economic sanctions bought from echo, as on the people of new age, that being felt surely one of the most pressing questions people must be asking at this hour is what options does,

eco was have left to put pressure on the crew leaders in the chair, to frankly give up for michael, very little as the days go by since the 26th of june, the crew leaders seems to be uh, getting themselves really emotionally and bedded into the country. it's almost like for families like for example, i can play that is cool, you know, has moved on. in fact, typically they call themselves a transitional government now with a prime minister, blah, blah, blah, echo as it's still on that they still want to revisit by the concession i older i get my, my bedroom uh back into it. so the time is really taken for echo as on also wait, wait, wait, yes, we hear from the air you which had a meeting on monday. everybody security situation, images and whatnot. show if you will be back in equity, is that perhaps choice if we use the full? so is that the tricky times the in the individual now between echo as a you also did your and tiny j. so we can times indeed, and you are right on it, at least to combine in lake us, many facts turning down to china where

a massive property market is again, causing global economic concern with one of its biggest developers filing for bankruptcy in the united states. every grand has moved to protect its assets from creditors, as it attempts to restructure its debt of grand owes more than $300000000000.00 in debt, it defaulted on its repayments in 2021. sending jitters through global markets ever grants. financial problems are part of a growing real estate prices across china, with many developers now struggling to complete projects and buyers, losing their deposits. china is property market makes up an estimated 30 percent of g d p. for more on this. so let's bring in, corresponded 5, you in, crash buy in beijing. so i'm going to have a grand is a huge player in china as property market to say the least. what effect is it's ongoing troubles having on the chinese economy. well,

it's obviously a big deal because of a grant. i mean, just if you look at the, they mentioned that used to be the 2nd biggest real estate developer. and now it has a messed over $300000000000.00 us dollars in terms of liabilities. and actually the crisis um, you know, it's not only ever branded actually spilt over best, for example, another huge play, a cold country got. and it was considered to be one of the most economically solid real estate developers. and now even country got and this month has missed to a payment deadlines, it's really very boring. it's also how the crisis has started with evergreen. so the really confidence in the market is quite low. and i mean, the real estate sector is very important for the chinese economy. if you take the sector alone with all the related industry, it generates roughly 30 percent of china, cdp also, of course, it's very alarming if the real estate sector is not doing well. how worried is the

chinese government that the real estate bubble could in fact verse yeah, so the government is very concerned with social stability. and this whole story, if it comes down to being basically the human tragedy. i mean, there are several 100 thousands of apartments that were already sold and maybe might not get billed. so basically people put their live savings into buying their own homes and now they are basically facing with, um, uh, yeah, with, with really a big tragedy. so that could be um, of course, costs instability that could cost on risk. so um house that the government react to sofa and the government was very cautious of, you know, starting a big intervention. why? because on the one hand, at once the companies who took a lot of, you know, risky debts risky loans to face the consequences for their own actions. and on the other hand, it does not want to and this crisis to spill over to the economic sector. so this

is really a dilemma, and so pop, we've only seen a yes, special loan programs for real estate developers by the central bank. but we have not seen a big government intervention yet a sub in a little perspective. here is a just real estate that's weighing on the chinese economy. no, not at all. i mean, we have separate problems. one for example, is the record how youth unemployment rate. a 2nd one is also that, you know, the 4 and direct investment has basically almost come to a standstill because, you know, investor confidence is relatively low, then the exports, which were always really very strong in china now also developing rather disappointing you. so we have several problems of the economy and um, you have the problem is it, on the one hand, the chinese government is, you know, trying to get investors spec to also trying to get into a national company spec. and at the other end, um they also very like conflicting a signal. so i talked about the reckless how you've unemployment the, you know,

authorities basically decided to withdraw suspend any statistics. they don't publish the data anymore. so that really causes a lot of interest as to be very very, and the cost of cost is when it comes to investing here. so it's really i did that in mind to read the prospect right now. i'm not very bright, and i would expect that the this year and probably also next year the chinese economy is developing rather sluggish. that's a sub and crash mark engaging many things from you. both ukraine and russia, struggling to maintain the size of their armies. ukraine is running a campaign, telling citizens to overcome their fear and, and list, and as cracked down on bribes paid to avoid deployment. meanwhile, boscoe has boosted the salaries, paid the soldiers since the store to bits invasion. they now are in 3 times the average wage with bonuses for capturing territory, but how lucrative is a career important stormy? or is that still goodness?

can you earn 6 money by going to the front in russia? this is exactly how new soldiers absolutely recruited his last address to the nation. rushing, presidents larger, you, you to tried hard to make the world look more attractive to potential soldiers like i propose to create a sufficient state default. its task will be to provide the assistance of the family as a form and find the advance around of the special needs and their authorization. and maybe it will coordinate the provision of social media co and at the behind the logical support you feel like it is the most important task on the phone, is to organize long term cat at home within the them. here is a break down in concrete numbers of how much a russian soldier can earn throughout his service. upon completion of a one year tour of duty, each soldier will receive a one time payment of around $1830.00 euros. depending on the soldiers

military rank and tasks, the monthly salary can vary between 1910 euro, and 2270 euro's that is over 3 times the average russian salary. in bonuses are given to encourage more aggressive fighting against the ukrainian choices, that sort of stuff and for capturing territory. you have on my, for each kilometer russian soldiers advanced a crane. they can expect an additional sum of $470.00 heroes. the same goes for the capture or destruction of weapons or military equipment used by the ukraine forces . but where there is war, there is of course death. i understand how unbearable hearts it's now for the wife and that sounds the folded soldier. she said i d and for the power source of abroad of that sort of thing. depend the nation do this,

how do you get to support families who have lost it or i live here as long as long as you need to help them raising their children. but give them an indication, a bad work session precious. and to that, and president protein has increased the best benefits for soldiers killed on the battlefield, considerably. according to a decree by pooty, a $47577.00 euro payment is made to the families of each falling soldier. but it's not only money with which the russian government is trying to recruit new soldiers. there is also an array of social benefits. the russian defense and industry will give financial aid to worth the rental or purchase of housing. soldiers will also get free medical examinations treatments and physical rehab at military facilities as well as free health and life insurance to name just a few benefits. and it's not only the soldiers to profit from being deployed. it is

the whole family. families will receive summer camp vouchers with children and college a children will get preferred placement at top russian university. i see it to be 2 professional. we will respond to edit. you have a nice to you because we are all long country, dean watch and with united mean metal with confidence in ourselves. we wanted to know a strength here. truth was all a site to them. a s a war against ukraine continues to grind on. it seems clear that president pushing has no intention of giving up no matter the human or financial costs, and with an average salary of some 630 year olds in russia, the financial incentives to join the military will be tempting to many people, whatever the risk dr. jimmy matters is a senior lecture in international politics and ever risk with university in wales

for expertise spans topics, including russian politics and security policy. russians, armed forces, as well as gender issues related to war. dr. mathers, welcome to dw, clearly lots of money, and extraordinary benefits are being promised to rush and fighters for fighting vladimir hooton's war. what do you make of that? well, i think it reflects the fact that money is one of the few incentives that the government in russia has left, which has proven to be effective at recruiting soldiers. and what we've seen is that when the state puts out the call and ask for more people to come forward in volunteer. but that not very much happens until they provide these real kind of more significant financial incentives. a lot of which are appealing to families, really in very socio economically deprived areas who don't have very many other opportunities for income for the family. let's talk about that. rather sobering death benefit,

a promise payment of nearly $50000.00 euros for each fallen soldier. our russia correspondent told us earlier that bereaved families don't necessarily receive that money. what have you found? yeah, that's exactly what what we're finding in, in research that i'm doing with a colleague about the soldiers, mothers and their families, the defense ministry and russia is very bad at providing information to families about the whereabouts and the ultimate fate of their, their sons and husbands. and fathers and so a soldier might be reported, killed were reported missing, but then no further information is provided. so it's really down to the families. very often the women in the families, the mothers and the wives who are trying to network desperately with each other, trying to reach out to sources in ukraine as well as the official sources of russia to try and locate the bodies. because without a body to caesar to bring forward, they can't possibly get any kind of payments. and so a lot of these assistive payments don't actually materialize in,

in real life. you know, with striking about these incentives is that they're aimed at coal, families as units or their conclusions to be drawn here about the support or perhaps lack of support of russian women in particular for this war. i think it's a very difficult question for a lot of russian women whose family members belong to the armed forces because for them their livelihoods, their livelihoods, and their whole families are really tied up with military service. and so for them to come out and condemn the war or condemn the armed forces, we put them in an almost impossible situation. so they are complicit. many of them, some of them actively support the war. others try not to think about it too much and really focus on their own family's needs and, and the welfare of the husband. or if it's under the father of who is going to find me. as on the ukranian side, of course, of the desk of russian men or mounting week to week, i wonder if you are already observing changes in the makeup of russian society and

the role of women in a. and i think women in, in russia have always carried a very heavy burden when it comes to responsibility for the private sector. when it comes to responsibility. what happens within the household within the home? and i think this doesn't get acknowledged very often by the state, but in fact, it is the women who are really holding things together in civilian society as more and more of them in our culture way to fight or flee because they don't want to go to the war, or indeed, who were killed or seriously injured in the war. it really places more and more of a burden on the shoulders of the women. and i think, you know, it's, it's an important area of a russian society to keep an eye on because you know, it, well, at what point will the women decide that you know enough is enough or, or will they, they reach that point where they simply carry on kind of trying to hold everything together or thanks for your time in perspective to dr. jenny matters. senior lecturer in international politics at avarice with university

candidates. the worst fire season on record shows no sign of using with more than a 1000 blazes. burning across the country, some of the largest or in the far north where fires are closing in on the city of yellow. nice. authorities have ordered the cds, complete evacuation. all 20000 are racing to meet a deadline to leave by noon friday to this is what people say says they leave the city of yellow knife. thousands are rushing to escape the approaching flames. while many a racing to get out for a car, hundreds are still waiting to be of actuated authorities, our air lifting the most vulnerable one neighbouring provinces, prepare to accommodate many of the displaced. this is a time when communities step up to help others. and we stand by those in need in

the stressful and no doubt scary, more than a 1000 active fires are burning across canada. more than half of them out of control. it's the worst was fire season on record. northwest preferences are bracing for the situation to worse, and we are expecting significant growth. and we are expecting our resources to be challenged from north to south in the province over the next 48 hours. in the region of yellow knife, over 200 fires are still active. without rain, the flames are likely to reach the city outskirts over the weekend. fuser growing that strong winds could push the fire close to the highway out of the city, blocking the only way out on land to the wise, devastating wild fires have left more than a 100 dead and raised thousands of buildings. now the head of marys emergency management agency says he is stepping down citing health research permanent dia has

been facing criticism for not doing more toward residents about the approaching fire. just a day earlier, he defended his decision to not activate the island. so nami sirens, saying they may have said people running towards danger, power failures, many, many residents did not receive mobile phone alerts. many survivors say they only learned of the fires as they were tearing down the streets of the town of behind the well, it's been more than a year now since the pakistan was devastated by massive flooding. more than $1700.00 people died and millions of homes were destroyed during last summer's inundation, which covered up to a 3rd of the country at its peak a year later, and some parts of pack of stone are still badly affected. many people are living and make shift homes. financial pleasures from abroad have come up short aid organizations estimate up to 20000000. people are still in need of support. the

head of the u. n. has called the floods the biggest example of climate corner. with me in the studio is the w report of an issue. job had to give us more insight . we are now a year removed from the floods in pockets companies. what's the situation now like a little bit? i thought the focused on that are food thinking for that 80, as in focused on that underwater and almost 2000000 people are living around. spec knit a flag water. and imagine lots rates of agriculture land completely destroyed and damaged and that's how flats of 2022 contributed to one of the worst economic crisis focused on has seen in us there. at one point, food and fiction was, was almost 40 percent pushing millions of people into poverty. and even after one, your communities have not been able to bounce back. it's tough to overstate what's

happened. there would have been the biggest effects of the floods. the floods of lofty are, are still destroying lights. there's, there's a recent report says that up in black affected areas, almost 40 percent of the children have done the truth. and women are young. mothers are becoming more afraid to try and beat because they do not have access to of food and, and to health care. and you wouldn't say it's almost 20000000 people still new to you need to validate an assistance. but like an a me coming from buckets on, i tell you that it's really difficult to assess that psychological impact. the flats hide on people in focus on for example, women who live very private lives in the homes or the facade, been, they were living on a on roads with and gums with very limited privacy and children, cousins of schools for don, meant for children, lost the support network and losing home, we all know that the feeling of, of, of,

of being safe and secure in our home. and 2200000 homes nor a damage and destroyed means that people completely lost lost and neighborhoods and the entire support network 2200000 homes. i'm how has pakistan been addressing the fall out from these floods? of course it's, it's, it's really difficult for focused on that's already a struggling with it. but then economic crisis focused on face the country and got an economic loss of co $3000000000.00 us dollars. now it's asking for the international community to a to provide 8 of $16000000000.00 to buckets done and focused on needs to be built . i'm interested in infrastructure because a several studies have shown that bucks and we've continued to be hit by climate. this asked us and for every $1.00 of usual construction, you require a $4.00 for a time which isn't in for structures. so that's

a lot of money. and that's one of these and buckets and pushed for to setting up a free austin damage fund in cops $27.00 last deal. but no disbursement has been made from that fund yet. and not only back, but this on the poor countries are also us being the international community for the $100000000000.00 that the pledge in golf 15 in 2009 that they would start disbursing 100 or billions to 4 countries from 2020. and that has also adults that just have also not being fulfilled. we will wait to see what happens there, but thank you for that. so report the w's finish job. that if you're watching dw news reminder of our top story, this our military chief from the west african eco last blog, a holding their 2nd day of talks and gunner to respond to the crew in the chair. they've repeated this round of an armed intervention, but say they prefer a diplomatic solution. wildfires are closing in on the city of yellow knife in

canada as far north. all 20000 residents are racing to leave after authorities ordered the cities complete evacuation by noon friday. of next is our show of conflicts and dw seroquel interviews, freshman investigative journalist andre sold unlike the local news at the beginning of the next step, the

entered the conflict. so how role did you ask any progression really go in his ledger authorizing, my guess is to be done complet soon as much an investigative journalist as security services expert. andrea, so that's a lot is i've been to our website tracks of russian intelligence. how long can hold on to power the

as we approach desk mice, again, you had a clue, has no doubt as an end of nice camera, she looks up to people in hospice and support state relative. it's a changing and meaningful task. that's just like the 16 the door and 6 o'clock screening. don't take mommy. visa to my son, your mommy's not coming back. over february 2022. russian

troops invaded the ukrainian city of computer. it was recaptured. 6 months later. the occupation was hard. how can life go on after all the terror? not everyone can do with the fear we felt every day. when russia comes starts august 25th on dw, the how ro, difficulty for goshen. really go in his wagner uprising? has russia seen the last of him, but it looks like he goes and falls skills and his people are still important for which in addition, several layers, for instance, enough for that my guess to speak on complex own is russian investigative journalist and security services expert andre still got tough is added to our website tracts, the russian intelligence services will put in perch the system, which is a really good ad conducting repression is.
