w travels off, we got the, this is dw news line from berlin. the death of wagner chief guinea precaution is confirmed by russian investigators. they say dna tests have verified the identities of everyone on board the plane that crash under unclear circumstances outside of moscow precaution. and his top above new deputies were on the passenger list. a deadline loons for new jersey, french in bassett, or to leave the country and the french sent them. it is running high, one month after the to which to pose the democratically elected president. and

zimbabwe incumbent president, emerson, milan gunk, war is declared the winner of a disputed election. the opposition reject the result. and observers say it fell short of democratic stand. the i'm michael. ok, welcome. russian. investigators say they have confirmed the identities of the 10 people killed in a plane crash on wednesday, including the head of the wagner mercenary group. if gave me precaution. after forensic testing rushes, investigative committee said that d n. a samples collected at the crash side corresponded to the remains of individuals named on the passenger list. earlier this week, russia civil aviation authority said precaution, along with some of his top lieutenants were on board a dw,

so russia analysts, konstantin at god, is following this story. for us, i asked him if there is any reason at this point to doubtful goshen is really dead . but it's interesting. the very brief announcement from the investigative committee said that the dna test confirmed the identities of old people on the passenger list without actually measuring exam or rather of people on the test. so i think that it's the still a bit to and i'm the give it to you in the wording of uh, of the investigative committee is a press release of personally, i think that so fall that unlocked many reasons to doubt that the pre gordon was on that spline of at least nothing else was proved conclusively, but i find it interesting that generally um the pull to land and investigating jelly. i think that in their official pronouncements,

the criminal officials try to avoid the naming, but it goes in by name and that's is of interest by the why. it's interesting also that among people, all the passenger manifest was the to meet the who in a k, a bog and or the man who actually created this private ministry company. mercer group, he's not mentioned by name, all right, but at least not measured the lot. so that is, that is a detail which, which cannot escape my attention. did investigate or should any more light on the possible cause of the plane crash? i know there is nothing about it's on the press release, the only call it in evasion, catastrophe or accident. so what they do confirmed is that it's the plane crushed, but no reasons for that a given. and frankly, speaking of whether we're speaking about, you know, investigation, normal democratic country or in a country like pollutants, where, you know,

the head of investigating investigative committees, actually pollutants of long term friends, missed domestic and you would still not expect definitive results. oh, this kind of investigation, what caused the credit to be ready? so sure. so we will have to once i suspect this is not the last time we'll be talking to you about this issue. that's a dw, is russia analysts, konstantin aggregate many thanks, as always. thank you. turning to african now and in these year a deadline is looming for the french ambassador to leave the country. the military junta has demanded the envoy leave by today. france has refused saying it doesn't recognize the military installed government. tens of thousands of people that rallied in the capital and beyond in support of the crew leaders. it's now one month since the democratically elected president was to post the who has defied

crippling international sanctions. and a threat by regional body echo was to force intervene. a for more lights turn now to dw is all these extra cool. now who's standing by for us in lagos? elisa france has rejected the winter's demand so far. but do we know if the french ambassador is still in the country? well, miko will yet to confirm that if they will be on the exits of the french invested us, who needs a following to do mines by the minutes of june. so for him to leave in 48 hours that was issued on friday that today sunday, which basically counts into the deadline. uh for he's actually adult, the guy we know that sadie, a french authorities have confirmed that they reject that demand by the insurance as saying that the did you say that they'll have the legitimacy to? i know it's all right, so you'd say authorized such an ex they've all thought a friend, so i'm back to the away from the country. so

a waiting game. now between that they frontier far, it saves them both of the and the many digits. i need to or alyssa, in a nutshell, why is anti french sentiment running so high in these here? well, any out of this will points to the wave of fine to friendship sense. it might seem to be sent to us, particularly in west african countries like molly, i'm booking at fast, so they blame from so many of the political problems that, that they have on those. they cannot make problems and not being able to help them . and, you know, fights into insurgency they've added seeing in the region where they have a couple of french serves. also based in a new jam, we've seen protests against do spend troops. and also, as we saw yesterday, where they call him one william on attempt at riley and it said, you just take a chance away this a different sense of man saying that i reject in front of it for my call, tony and enough is enough, or they wanted to take me to future, it's been a wave, it has been coming. i need

a is the latest base i have is $0.95 and that's michael. and the regional blogger echo was, has of course, slapped of winter with sanctions. and threatened the use of military force against going to any signs of these are having an effect because you only have to go through a board is uh with neighboring countries like nigeria. uh, when they know the nigerian space both. right. and i need a so many uh, blockades, uh, cartoon not, you know, trucks stuff, uh, goods and economic services. and i do have supplies about 75 percent of electricity today that has been caught off us instead of the sanctions. uh, i begun to also add trade sanctions and also bought a closure and also at closure to so is it people of a weekly put in a pinch, also with services and also in the economic land you have pocket. so the essential is a country to buy digits have called them in humane and humiliating sanctions. i bought it contributes a sofa under the essential until perhaps that he's on in a, a break of, you know, some sign of diplomatic solution between echo, as i me, j,

i cause i so you know, michael countries made saying that they still keep that military option on the back of the cards, but lisa took them on top of the dynamic story there in west african many things. there's always always been bodies incumbent president. emerson, non caldwell has been re elected by a slim majority of voters, according to the countries the election commission. non doug, what 152 percent of the boat, while the main opposition candidate, nelson show me. so 144 percent. it marks a 2nd term for a minute and god was and a continuation of his annual parties. 43 year rule. the opposition has rejected the result with several of its monitors arrested while trying to tell the votes supporters that's involved with rings on o. p. as potty celebrates the incumbent. m. s. i mean i'm back with that. we know

the controversial presidential election. he later took to the ways to deny any irregularities this she's the lights out. we then got go. i came to power in 2018 optometry crew to post the ating robot mcguyver myself loyally for decades. he's an extreme victory pro long as the rudolph is on a p. f, which will grab a lead since in about was independence from great britain in 1989. god boy has not been able to reverse the country's economic decline with inflation, unemployment running high, a party of opposition candidate. now some show me that was quick decry file, also by that's what cost on wednesday and thursday people queued for up to 10 hours

to cost the votes. and putting was delay due to a lack of better papers in some areas. but we didn't have to be extended by a day. dozens of opposition. electro monitors where arrested while attempting to tell the votes. police seized the computer equipment and accused them of trying because of the outcome of the machine. they didn't quote them to finish off a little more practice in which it is limited to. busy assessments novel on the options of looked at all the forms of fluids in control of this. so do you mean such an exercise international? observe as i've listed a number of concerns including the binding of opposition. riley's votes, intimidation and bias. state media coverage towards

transparency are these criticisms like you do little to stop the 18 year old? i mean i don't god, well i'm staying and power that somebody has a history of disputed electrons within minutes of non gauguin being declared. the winner, the opposition said it rejected the result. so we're will things go from here. i asked al corresponding privilege, which on here in hawaii, what is up in the now is that the opposition has not, uh, expressed what they are going to take is tips of going forward. we're still waiting to hear what the old position is going to present is they apply and whatnot . really cool. what they're going to do is the request. but there are 3 options

that they could explore height or 00, $1.00 of those 3 is the option to approach the courts that 7 days to up to approach the constitutional court to challenge the election. but they have to approve it to the court with solid evidence. they have to, they have to look at the evidence from uh more than 2000 pulling stations across the country so that they presented before the courts and prove that indeed the election was stolen. the other option would be probably to demonstrate against the results, but it has its own challenges in 2018. they protested, and it's resulted in the shooting of more than 6 people during the process. and the other option, probably, if the old position need to concede, then they could be an option to see some kind of seeing that arrangement of wiki

with the incoming president to form and you government. so at least in some quarters of the country, it appears that there is a sense of uncertainty at the very least. how would you describe the current climate in the country after this election? and what do people expect from another admin on dogwood term? of the, if you look at the, the optimize of this election, you don't across the local in the city, it just stormed by. and the security is too high, particularly where i am right now with the national results center is situated. it is do surrounded by a high security. you have a ride police suspicion with ken on the vehicles and people as to trying to digest the results that we have now is the late a lot of the late late late aside today and what will happen going

forward? you know, the expectations of people, people expecting probably for things to change, but if they are still trying to figure out where to go after this election, that is a dw corresponding privilege. moving on here in raleigh. many, many things is always privilege us. and here's a reminder of our top stories. russian investigators say they have confirmed the death of wagner mercenary chief. yep. gave me precautions in a plain craft official said dna test showed his body was among 10 recovered from the wreckage. the kremlin has denied any involvement in the craft. a deadline moves for new years, french, and vast order to leave the country. anti french sentiment is running high in the chair, one month after the to which to pose the democratically elected president. and

we will end it, their shift is up next with a look at virtual reality tourism, which gives people a chance to travel the world without leaving their homes. that's after the break. and of course, there's more on d, w dot com and of course, and i'm social media, where our handle is predictably at dw, unlike the look, do stay with us and bye for now. the question about life, the universe and everything the answer. well then, given here's the answer to almost everything we're documentary series with whoever raising the ground to break
