an explosion of fire emergency crews across grease bottles contained multiple places, including one that's the largest wildfire recorded in the u this year. plus she's b not hor. her whole life of nick out was born. as russia launched its full scale invasion of ukraine, 18 months on, we meet her parents to see what family life looks like in the midst of war, the pablo solely s. thanks for joining us. donald trump has been formerly arrested in the us state of georgia, after surrendering to law enforcement or far as he's there. his motorcade arrived at the fulton county jail in atlanta where he was booked on more than a dozen racketeering and conspiracy charges they overlayed to an alleged attempt to

overturn the 2020 election results in georgia. in a star at 1st i'm old shot was taken of a former us president, which he himself posted on social media. trump was released on a $200000.00 bond. it's his 4th arrest since april of trump says the charges against him are politically motivated. and he slumped the georgia case before leaving atlanta. what is taking place here is a travesty of justice. we did nothing wrong. i did nothing wrong. and everybody knows that i've never had such support as that goes with the other ones to what they're doing is election interference or try to interfere with an election. there's never been anything like it in our country before. this is their way of campaigning. well for more on this, i'm not joined by dominick talk store. if a u. s. policy expert with the german council on foreign relations, welcome to dw. so what will this photographed as mold shot that we've seen do for

donald trump in the eyes of american voters? but particularly republicans yeah, good afternoon. um yeah, i think uh tons of tries to take advantage of these touches against and off trying to get it wrong. and uh, yeah, just sort of, uh, i mean he has mentioned this before. this is a political which hands against which i against him, and he tries to mobilize this policy more, especially the democracies and the cause and advice. not only him sense, but also space. tell us is what you make of his move to actually post the mode shot online himself. i think it's just like a he wants to symbolize. so he wants to show it. he says he's a, he's a victim off of the police. go try again to send, and he just wants you to show him how much you media, you know, how much that's on the demo products. all the democrats tried to trace a constraint. so let's try it again soon and how much he's

a victim of these attends that potential jail time aside in a, let's call a political sense. is there anything that can actually really hurt trump at this point? is there any sense that republican voters, patients is being tested by images like this, like this smoke shot that we see? i don't think so. i mean, i think that is basis, this period behind him. i don't think this is going to change anything. i think for the overall and we probably can part of that as a problem because i think this but actually strengthen anymore. and um, for as contents within the public and part of that as a problem because she noticed all the attention again and she will, she can, he can. so i'm kind that he's a victim and i think for the republican party. and so it's a problem because i think a lot of people have the republican party piece of the so i'm on the strategies and the leads. i tried to get rid of them, but this,

the inspector has positioned along with michael bass. you more and sort of uh, take away the trends from, uh, candidates that might be running all that already running against. is there really anything that could actually swing the, or, or at least result in a change among republican voters? and is there somewhere that you know, if it results in a conviction, for example, would that possibly change his support based? i don't, i don't think so, but of course it will test legally implications, of course in the indian for him because as long as he's not a law, his thoughts on able to get the case transferred to the kind of the card he faces. probably because this is a state case in the state court and if he's ready to come pick it up the crime and if he's really elected president, he wouldn't impact the child support himself. and i think this is more the legal problem that you've faced, is that the cost you turn off of problems in case it's vd you like this,

but i don't think this but saw the district office, i think uh they don't really lot of his uh, sort of a true um. so paula's only do you believe that there is an impartial, unfair justice system in phase. and i don't think this would change their minds that trump surrendered and paid a $200000.00 bond, relatively small for a billionaire. now, is there any sign, any of this turmoil is affecting his ability to raise money for his 2024 campaign? yeah, i think he tries to take advantage of this case again. i mean, this is the 1st thing that he did. he asked for more money. um, and i think this, it actually might be a pretty successful move from his side because he is showing in the past that he's pretty successful raising money from small donors. and you know, next month we have talked to some of these, these have drugs and he has a huge advantage over his other content. us that you're looking for something

around the centers, he's not able to actually mobilize them on a small us and to donald trump. is able to do that based on that. awesome. i think he would use these cases now to even what would cost more money for his campaign, which is a cost on go ahead and extremely expensive. but i think you can be sure that he gets at least the funds from, from smart on us. all right, we'll leave it there. dominic talks store from the german council on foreign relations. thanks for your analysis. thank you. to the united states as a we'll train ukrainian pilots to fly f. 16 fighters after european countries pledge to give keith the jets. the pentagon said that flight training would begin in the us state of arizona. in october, denmark, the netherlands and norway of orleans. but they will provide ukraine with the advance to you. estimate aircraft cave has long been seeking the jets to bolster its on the air air force, but training will likely take several months. tim

ripley is a, during the specializing in defense and military affairs. he joins us now from london. thanks for joining us here on dw. so training will take several months. could you take an informed guess as to how many months exactly, uh, before you premium forces will be flying f sixteens and combat? well that's, that's, that is too many and probably been part of those in that because it's, it's not just the kinds of training pilots you have to train over maintainers, you have to, uh, set up lots of enabling forces to try and support the craft. so i mean, just to actually, for the planes is really easy, but it's turning other planes into a part of a military aviation combat system. that is a difficult thing for the pregnancy. i mean, if you look at her, the, the, the british americans, old gym angel, nato operated in 1991 go for the rest goes down to libya.

the western way of using these activities as part of a system, you have 8 worked radar planes to fund the enemy funds as you have counting planes to defeat the, the, and the research to a, me so, so you have refueling time or kind of stuff that gets the plane to the point and you train is, don't have any of that at the moment. they just as they are an insurgent, f o, stay off and fighting, hit and run a tax, and how you ins, west and fall into into that kind of scenario. is very difficult to imagine. so would that mean that they require and ukraine engineer aside from the donor countries to actually be on site and ukraine possibly, will this new stop training them up as well? i mean, it is not, is you have to think of this as, as, as not just one played against the russian air force. this is this, this, this involves a complete overhaul of the training that falls to the defense is to fight with

these aircraft. so this is, this is a major project beyond just training a few pilots, right? so it's essentially almost like an infrastructural project that's, that's under way. i'm yes. and also tactics and support in the weapons i'm support forces as well. all right, well let's talk a little bit about what difference it would make to ukraine if they had this f t, f, 16 sleep in their ability to resist russian aggression as well . the key thing i don't really sure about this is the kind of webpage they get on the plane. now, in terms of a way to combat they need to really make a difference, a thing totally m am 120, which is beyond visual range, missile which can hit target spring, 3040 miles, 54 inches away from the aircraft. and that's what they really need to take home the

russian make since the boys 9 terms of ground attack. again, you need stand off weapons, a much lightweight, we've seen with a pretty storm shot of the french scale. so all the equipment is going to get send off weapons to attack the russian ground targets. these are things we don't really know. and unless i get these kinds of weapons at the f, 16 in itself is not a game changer. alternating insights defense during this time. ripley joining us from london. thank you. in russia, president vladimir putin has sent his condolences to the family of you have any pre goshen saying. he had made mistakes, but achieved results. russian authorities say the wagner mercenary leader was listed as a passenger on a flight that crashed with no survivors pedagogy and had been one of 2 things most important allies. until june. when he lived an armed rebellion against moscow's military leadership, fox and

a headquarters in saint petersburg. here if guinea pig goes and supporters have been laying down flowers, attributes for the mercenary leader. among them is dimitri, carrying a bundle of cloves, dislodge hammer. it's become a symbol for wagner after a video emerged last year, the part at least showing a slight tremor used to execute a desert or to fear. nothing is engraved on this one. to meet 3 worships precaution, like many here are still because he fought for freedom wrong, but also because he defended russia's interest. so can you got it the way to your one way or another? he was a hero for a country started cuz you didn't many heretic things and he gave us hope, you know, many can do that within a few years, but it wouldn't even though a year it's still not fully clear if you have any pre goshen was

a board the plane that crashed north of moscow. some have speculated it was down by a bomb or a missile, but few believe it was an accident. the wagner affiliated telegram channel was quick to announce the precautions name was on the flight list. russian president vladimir putin was also unusually quick to respond. he said there was evidence that pre collision was on board. thereafter, only referring to him in the past tense categories. and this is a new promotion for a long time since the beginning of the ninety's. he was a person with a complicated history. he made grave errors in life, but he also achieved the right results for himself and for our common goals. when i asked him to do things, you have gaining pre goshen, became

a powerful figure as the head of bach, the mercenary group, notorious for its brutality in ukraine and around the world. but pretty guardian became a threat to pollutants power after leading a short lived mutiny. done march on moscow to other senior wagner figures. we're also listed on the flight pointing to a decapitation of the groups. leadership who team is still likely to need voc there fighters, but placing the mercenaries under regular russian command could be a challenge to. russia's presence in the african continents heavily depends on the wagner group, but now after the presumed death of the head of the wagner group, you've got any precaution. there is uncertainty about the private military's role. many african countries depend on russia for economic aid. russia exerts its influence also through military cooperation. this often involves the wagner group of nursing. re group has been active in countries like bodies to don libya and the

central african republic. wagner is also accused of political interference in these countries are correspondent or research. we might, has more on this for us. you joins me from like us in nigeria or lisa. now the wagner group is a key tool from us. go to project at power in i forget. but multiple african governments also depends on the group to control rebel movements. how was the news of precautions, presume bath being received on the content of the well popular? uh, you might say it's been a bit mixed since the news broke about the about the lead. i'll divide not group. uh, i don't have any progression presumed dead now, as you said, a lot of efforts, some african countries that depend on, you know, russian age and also in terms of many to cooperation. obviously. any places like libya and west africa, particularly molly, i'm quite close. yeah. essential,

that's a good republic. and not we doesn't expensively mean i. there might be an end to back about operations under content. i think that's why i pay many expos i points into because from the recent, even last we did, we put a saw of a precaution. you mentioned it to being some location in africa and russia. i thought you'd have spoken about the success about back operations, both minutes really big, basically honestly intensive economic cooperation. is that being driven as a more like a just the physical, just shooting for russia? so uh yes, they might be presumed dead add that, but it doesn't mean that it's an anti vibe, opperation for russia on the continents. now the routing shown to, in molly, for example, have isolated themselves from the west and are facing armed insurrection. would they be able to stay in power without the backing from russia of the well popular that's the tricky part of the country, like molly with plenty open arms, incense of receiving russian sup. busy it's uh,

you know, run a for the comic ties and know certain types of military training for locos. molly, as we know he's on the believe regions. they've also have got, you know, a case of a transition on time by with echo last week, just to know the debate front of the day. if you all, you can, many might say, but they are trying to hold onto power in terms of fights and obviously heavy insurgents. they which the rush asked me to is huge apart and support since they are, you know, next the frost. i caught the ministry security, ties it from so it less abuse is made to be seen. how did you make it to insight molly? able to fight off to do that? you had a question, did you, how do you like we talked, you know, russian support so i'm back now suppose the book clearly is want something that you know, dumont and so i have to look that twice as which side is news about the image. if you have any precautions that didn't support that demise, that was pretty versions presumed at death. who can they turn to now? well, many will say about the voc not will still have operations in africa that'd be concerned

. so maybe not so kindly, smart, think personalities between the bug, the higher key, especially after that kind of a profile of people involved the back, the report that in that plane crash, one stands for show the russian influence has to continue for my ex family in perspective. so doesn't have much gonna mean that this band is not meant so they will have to just focus on the kind of contract. so uh it could i make a agreements, they have, which russia on the grinding associated place. it like the central african republic . uh no surprises like money they will have to rely on it because that these are contracts signed have got minute or rich. uh, you know, uh, economic, uh, it ties with it so they still have to hold onto it. thanks lisa. lisa, chuck will not talking to us from lagos in nigeria. let's take a look now with some of their headlines from around the world. these years jump to leaders have agreed a military defense packed with neighboring burkina, faso. and molly,

who's router is also to power in coast west african regional block echo last isn't talks with new shares, new leaders, but has threatened to use force to reinstate civilian rule. according guatemala has sentenced an ex army officer to 20 years in prison. for his role in a 40 year old massacre, retired colonel, one of idea said i thought it was found guilty of ordering the killing of $25.00 indigenous people. most of the children at the height of go to minus 36 years civil war. 8 other defendants were acquitted. entities and authorities of declared a health emergency due to a fire at one of the country's largest landfill sites. officials, i, fig, putrid smoke from the place close to the city of bundle is putting residents health in danger. firefighters have been trying to extinguish the fire for dies greece. this summer of wild fires shows no sign of abating one fire. near alexandro opponents in the east has burned more than 700 square kilometers of land. officials

declared it to be the largest. the european union has seen this year. greece is asking for help from other countries to bottle the fires, some of which are being blamed on ours and centuries of history and the threat firefighters, monks and volunteers bottled to save the 10th century monastery. a unesco was heritage sites in greece. the flames have been raising near the capital athens and in the countries. no, today's at least 20 people have been killed. a terrifying ordeal for those affected the hotel. the last was huge in the flames was so high. we couldn't do anything to stop them. everything was out of control, black smoke was blowing, it was a really tough situation. and the other we had no experience with wild cider. so we weren't expecting this disaster. weeks of high temperatures and dry conditions have

turned many parts of grease into attend the books. added to the claims that austin played a role in the places near reference. the greek civil protection minister sent out a message to those responsible. yes. and you were committing a crime against the country. you won't get away with it. we will find you and you will be held accountable and that will be specific guessing as the fires rage, so to just public and about what some have described as an inadequate government response to which is becoming an old 2 familiar problem in greece and other regions . of southern europe. well, earlier our correspondence in athens, sophia cliff talk, he explains why the greek government is facing criticism over this hires are raging . the anger does um to and mainly because this is not the 1st time happening. this

is not something that, uh, the, the, the uh, greed cut up population is not familiar with. this is what happens every summer. and this is exactly what the people also are saying and why they're disappointed. and angry people saw their house burning down in front of their eyes, so they expect to be safe. and i have the impression that the level of and security is raising day by day on social media. a huge debate about the, the in adequate government response to the threat of the fire as they call it. and also slogans shared like one want to it back to the country which shows this level of uh and security. so people are angry and so they don't seem to calm down as the fires are still burning. dw correspondence, sophia, cuz i've talk in athens there as well. it's been a year and a half since russia launched its full scale invasion of ukraine, and every ukrainian remembers where they were when the war began. for some,

their memories are especially poignant. dw, is my ts building up, met a couple who became a family of 3 on that very deck. this looks actually normal. but mucous home is key. she has been at the wrong a whole life. click the home. it will not, system will be when there is an air raid should fuse it immediately because it cool enough for the show when the air raid sirens sound and we are outside and i start worrying. i don't pannier, but i still worried. she snuggles me on a silence. it was life that from the beginning, when we came out of the maternity hospital for we drove quite far in the hallway. she didn't cry once and you got another report that's unique. i'm sure there are kids who would stop crying in that situation. so it's we need to provide suite

sealants of will not damage because you need to wasn't hospitalized preparing for this is arion, when the was started. okay. cool. most which listed we had explosions at 5 in the morning. one is what we did not understand what that meant. but after 5 or 10 minutes, the doctor came with the nurse and said, we should pack because the war had sa, submitted it, and that we would probably go to the basement from the system. von, anita, how does this area on that day? spent the 1st week of a baby's life and that hospital based fighting was approaching the city. so they stayed in the improvise, bump shelter of the data on each end. and if mucous spend time in poland,

but know that back and key and the families are united high enough to have the title ix 100 want to keep her as normal as possible. but that's rarely even tell us what his job is. because it's related to the supervisor with checkups and then i have been waiting for this child so long as unfortunately we lost the child before in the 3rd month of pregnancy. so we were very nervous and we would get a tried to figure out what would come next, lots of stuff that finally we have that child and then this, and that's what we're doing. all right, we'll talk, look hello, this is with a high during error rates, but it's also where they keep things to make life f mika, a sparkly as they come. well there are wide

spread media reports that spanish football federation president reese ruby alice plans to resign today. he's closed outrage after forcibly kissing a player on the lips following spain's world cup trying for the last sunday. ruby alice 1st clay done his actions, but then apologized. he's speaking now an emergency meeting of the federation, claiming he has been hard done by an threatening court action. a resignation is expected at the end of the speech. world governing body fee for previously launched disciplinary proceedings against him. leading spanish politicians had urged him to quit. there's a reminder of our top story. donald trump has been formally arrested in the us state of georgia over alleged attempts to overturn the 2020 election in a historic 1st. a police photo was taken of the former us presidents, which he posted on social media, trump quote, his arrest, a quote,

travesty of justice. russian president vladimir putin has expressed his condolences over the plane crash that proportionally killed the head of the wagner mercenary group. he described to ask any precaution as a man who made mistakes, but a change results say, june for conflict zone. it's of next week. eric heavy entry interviews, ukraine's deputy prime minister for european and euro atlantic integration take care of the

enter, the conflicts own with sarah kelly. after months of speculation, the log in to pay the new premium counter offensive appears to be under way. my guess this week on complex own is ukrainian deputy prime minister all her stuff and need to know who overseas ukraine's integration into the un nato. what more does she need from partners to future proofs, ukraine's defense conflict zone on

d. w. to the point to clear positions, international perspectives for ukraine encounter offensive have so far to, to blit exports feel that the war is likely to have those in a frozen conflict. so on to the point we are not to be shown you frame come see janitory restaurant to the point 60 on the dw the, the 0 to send it away is the rust eats away everything. i'm never mind, you know, make another side. algeria is here more atanya is here on mark track. we know is this one great journey and the grim reality.

i've never been to hell, but that's what it must feel like. this. a heroism fail. i swear what remains to this, i just want to be free, the, the house on the edge of this a heart of the last shelter start september, 2nd on d. w. after months of speculation, to long anticipated ukrainian counter offensive appears to be underway. what will count as victory and on what time table could targets extend as far as russian occupied crimea? my guess this week on conflicts known as you chris in deputy prime minister, all the stuff in each, you know, overseas, ukraine's integration into the when nato, we have seen them as of last plus uh on the side of the, of the russian army, which has not been prepared, let's say uh for that. what more does she need from partners to future procure.
