felix miranda is in nairobi and has been following the protests on the streets. this road, the way i am funding is that, or did that, or no more locations would be flowing with the traffic. but as you can see, what happens today is that for the test as body k did the roads, this is one of the main road. the lead leading into the central business district shops walk north for the better part of the dates and protests of kept pushing and pushing towards parliament. now there was a tassel, it'd be tree and protest as and for least a number for the test of what inside it might do. so savvy sees what able to attend to. some of it is that protest of, but some of the protests has lost their lives in one of the protest. those who lost his life is a brother to a policeman. so the police model is just the crying next to the body of the brother . and he was saying that the same force that you watched for is the same force that

has no sealed his brother. so it was, it was a side the side faces, but kind of kept pushing and kept pushing. and some of the protests of actually monday it's to get into parliament building. now the action impala meant was crazy because a possible color meant was put on file, but was immediately the file was immediately put out by the stuff a problem in buildings and the members of parliament had to discomfort for safety. they had to run on the underground tunnel so that leads to parliament. some of them have actually just been taken up by top of that for a landing on top of can nothing to national conference center. now the amount of destruction that has taken place today has been crazy just behind us. these police vehicle one of the police vehicle that was actually bought to the next to find them . and there was another police truck that was bonds, and

a number of sub miss missed actually called flat. there was a lot, a lot of destruction people wide removing that roadside body kids and all of that was processed as expressing that in graphs as mismanagement of funds. by fundament, or i know we called rob sean and i use that have been that i didn't mean the welfare of the young people. a dw corresponded edith kimani has just returned from nairobi and i asked her to tell me more about the protests there. we're seeing what is the said of such protests in a period of 2 weeks and they're expected to continue throughout the week. as i mentioned, the approaches against this legislation that essentially determines how the government collects money and spends it, and young people having investigative this bill thing. but they don't like what they're seeing. the talks of a to a to many times. they absolutely cannot handle it. and with no other resort, they went to the streets. now we are hearing reports of the internet services being

disrupted. we're actually having quite some trouble getting through to your colleague. felix isn't covering it on the ground. is that a common tactic during protests and can absolutely not. in fact, it would be unprecedented if in fact the government has shut down the internet. and this is really rare because in africa, in 2022 at least 7 governments shut down. the internet canal was not one of those, and residential to a jeff law still was talking about this issue said, and i'm just going to court to hear that shutting down the internet would be a guess the lawyer to be a guest, the constitution and an act of somewhat touch that would undermine the will of the people. and so if he does indeed shut down the internet, it will not only be all these things that he proclaims, but he will also be going against his own. what to concern at home and abroad. many reactions which ones maybe still up to you. these are reinvigoration we're seeing or what is now a very contract to a position in kenya. it almost doesn't exist. and with the protest is coming out

these young useful protests, as we have seen, those members of parliament coming back up and saying, we need to take back our country. but also a skilled professionals withdrawn from different aspect of lawyers who've come together to bail people out doctors will offering the services for those to be injured. during the process, we're even seeing the church at the most offering people a safe haven when the protest get violent level on the other on these members of parliament who the young people are speaking to seem to be completely on this. you know this thing, but no matter what, it doesn't matter how long you're on the street, we will go ahead and pass this bill for the people out on the street. young people . and this is really the majority of kenya. we're talking 60 percent of the population who identified as emergency or millennials, so you can understand them. this is a country of essentially teenagers. these taxes are going to affect their parents true, but then we really feel the pins and they're going to continue feeling the pinch in the future. and that's why we're seeing them coming out in

a way that has never been seen before. and can you, why is the government not listening? because these protests, they didn't started today. they've been going on for awhile because have the government has done this before and gotten away with it. this is not the 1st financial bill under which was the government last year he did pass a bill that increased the housing levy. kind of complained about that, that didn't go anywhere. on top of that, you also increased the personnel of pay for basically the people who were in government, which really angered the level of useful tenants. as of this year, it looks like there was going to be a re, a repeats of last year, but the kennels have said no, not on all watch. where do you see this going today? of course, very violent seems. is this going to keep escalating? if we follow what is being said online, then it will a can use until says days. so they've been called the 7 days of age and today will in day 5, which was occupying parliament, which the young people have successfully done tomorrow. they intend to go to the police service and demand justice for the people who acute doing this protests,

as well as a bail out. those who been arrested and on thursday, they're calling for a total shut down. ok. now, making sure overloads needing to the capital a blocked, having people not show up at work and literally ground the economy to a halt nest either way, you kind of correspond as edith kimani speaking to me earlier. here in the studio, julian hassan has left the u. k. under a plea deal with the united states. he will appear in court and he has specific territory where he's expected to plead guilty to violate in us espionage law. as long as was wanted for publishing classified military files on the wiki leaks platform, which he found it in 2006. he fought expedition to the us from britain where he has spent the past 5 years and a high security prison. a 14 year fight for freedom is finally pots and end after julianna's sons' agreed to a us plead deal,

he bolted a plane, a monday, bound for the us, terry tray of the know the mariana islands in the pacific. that will go on to return. the once fugitive to his native australia and his brother said the family was overwhelmed. i'd been speaking to him this week and just going through all the details with him and you know, a very anxious, very excited, and he's looking forward to spending time with his family and, and been for a been able to have the sun shine on, on his i see that the go for a swim in the ocean back in australia, so it's very much looking forward to that for over a decade, the australian hawk attend whistle blower has divided public opinion haled as a champion of free pressed by many condemned as a trade to buy his detractors,

it was in 2010. he became world famous. after his company weekly, published a trove of files and diplomatic cables, they included a video of an attack fight, an american apache helicopter, any rock but left 11 dead, including 2 journalists, rod during the day. and for some his actions with a hallmark of a free press, 3 description of what it's about. so many of those the links so nothing, shouts of treason and a song, an enemy of the states. and down here, a swedish arrest warrant for rate and sexual assault. so assange take refuge in london's ecuadorian embassy. he would stay there for the next 7 years. as a victory by the time including president, we vote sanchez asylum status. it was united states where he was a wanted mon,

the gc is the fault, is expedition to the us from inside a british prison. but the plea deal means a song while a controversial will at last be a free mon. well, as julia massage is heading for the us territory, let's speak to our washington bureau chief in his full, in his good to see you know, what have been the reactions to the plea deal across the political spectrum in the us who we just heard the do it in the psalms is of course a polarizing figure of it, which means that opinions advices. this deal also sharply divided former republican vice president mike pens criticized a song, display do a calling you to miss carriage of justice that this honored the service and sacrifice of the own to forces a drums for with national security advisor. john bolton just told me some weeks ago

in an interview that i saw should face the death penalty. on the other hand, of course, the liberal filmmaker, michael moore, who many of all of us actually might know from as film bowling for columbine, a celebrated the plead you as a happy day. it is interesting to call to meet the president fighting the former president trump has commented on the play deal yet, and i wouldn't be surprised if a real good oft during the presidential debate this the 1st day. everything about the deal. let me know the average over the past decade, there has been a significant show of support for assange across europe. and, and can we say the same about the united states as well in the us, the public this course on the sauls and other words lowers like snowden, or manic, for example. and the scope of press freedom versus espionage act tends to be a more critical compared to many european countries,

especially germany. i would say uh, the differences in attitudes actually may stem from the fact that many americans have family members who served or are serving and active duty leading of course, to concerns about potential harm to loved ones, cost of either linked information. and this of course, saves the perspective on the balance between informing the public and freedom of speech rights and potentially endangering american soldiers. what do we know about his health condition? there's been a lot of talk about that. it has indeed, and we just hers uh his wife and also his brother and other people being close to him talking that he's not a good shape, but he's really a suffering of depression. and i think also the pictures we just saw how we enter this, does a private plane show how much has changed over the course of the years?

these many years? this many days and nights he spent in prison. that was the w. washington bureau chief in his full thanks for that. a quick look now at some of the stories making headlines around the world today. canyon police have arrived and have a to help restore order in the caribbean country. a plane landed in florida across carrying around 200 officers as the 1st you and backed foreign policy force. he's army has struggled to resist the violin gangs that have taken control of 80 percent of the capital and left hundreds of thousands homeless. it allows me to that, but i would grease as issued a health warning to visitors over the current sheet waves, at least 10 for and torres of either died or gone missing hiking. in 40 degree temperatures, grease has been hand finds earliest ever summer heat weight the owner of a south korean lithium batteries factory that called fire has apologized to the

families of 23 workers. killed in the place is that the company complied with all safety rules. authorities are investigated. international criminal court has issued arrest warrants for the former russian defense minister surg showing go, and the military's chief of general staff larry harass them off the warrants are for alleged for crimes in ukraine, enjoying president vladimir putin on the courts wanted les storer assuredly. now, these really supreme court has ruled that the military must begin drafting ultra orthodox men. the decision could bring down prime minister benjamin netanyahu. his coalition government, powerful ultra orthodox parties, oppose any change to the current system. germany's foreign minister has warrants that a miscalculation could trigger a war between israel and has the law and 11 on. and the bad luck was speaking and be route on a whirlwind diplomatic visits to the middle east. meeting with prime minister in a group and katia,

she called on all sides to exercise extreme restraint. after months of cross border violence, she also announced $18000000.00 euros in aid for the many refugees living in lebanon and followed. similar plans for garza, she made earlier in the west bank. available was also in israel, where she criticized the government over settler violence saying and damages israel's interested interest in the long term. tyler the slightest. pumps of these riley government coalition of the trouble and endangering is rarely security interest in a long time with their aggressive set to the policy. to this day i can describe is well strength lies in its liberal democracy. the shocking reports and include detention conditions for palestinian prison as it is rarely temps, and presents, do not fit in with these ralph own claims to be a democracy and constitutional state. the next or a broader perspective, i spoke with brenda slim of foreign policy specialist from the us base middle east

institute. and i asked for how significant it is. so here's, that's unusually explicit criticism from the german foreign minister. it is significant because i'm to now germany has been one of the strongest supporters of israel and especially or so if it's word and it does. yeah. and so you know, it's better that it's coming, but in my opinion, it's a bit late. it should have come much earlier, especially in, in, in rejection officer working with us and this where it is more of it. yeah. available also warned about the dangerous situation in level non on israel is northern border. she says, she's working hard on finding solutions to prevent more suffering. but to what extent is germany really involved in efforts to diffuse tensions between israel and has the law it's nothing was in any significant way. i think it's more to do in union. it's important. it's through its relationship with what with

washington, the 2 primary parties that are now involved in seeking the escalation, pushing it, diplomatic process to resolving the conflict on his body between hezbollah and israel has been denied state of courts 1st. and then 2nd, france. and they are now working together, and then now germany has some impact in terms of basically, you know, for pushing the alarm on sounding the alarm on. any potential escalation between his bottom line is there an, into, in, or out toward. and it's, we don't have any back because it has strong itself to be strong, supported israel. and so if that, if in case that is this kind of escalation, that needs to, in a little tour, i mean, germany has some leverage and basically saying, you know, we're not supporting, they started the action on the strong. yeah. especially if it's correct. and so the world into, in or outward. yes, and what she hasn't said that quite yet. israel,

on the other hand, yesterday announced a will move some of its troops from gaza to the border with lebanon, in your opinion, how long the tiles is the situation there right now. the situation is very well. i think there has been a longstanding conflict between has been lined is read. i have not seen the kind of for the thought i could escalation between them. and in this way it's unprecedented in, in the history of this conflict. but also the time of committed to the escalation that's taking place, you know, with the 2 parties tracking deeper into each other's set activities and skill sets and on the ground rules that try not to violate, especially when it comes to hitting civilians. but the escalation is really significant, and in my opinion, we are reading these guys now at, at the dangerous moment in this confrontation between them that can, that can basically move into in the, for any, any thought was rhonda slim. they're

a foreign policy specialist from the us based middle east institute in washington, now, ukraine's president for a lot of years, the landscape has hailed the start of talks on his countries, accession to the european union. he says, europe cannot be complete without ukraine as a member. he will not be able to join the block until after the war with russia is over. and the talks are expected to last for many years of applying for you membership. one of the 1st moves ukraine made off the rush, i launched its full scale invasion back in february 2022. the move that the country sees as a pos to better living conditions and more security. the you agreed to start the process would made it clear you cry and would need to make some changes before taking the next steps. any country joining the has to meet its high standards, including on route for all human rights and a competitive market economy. since then, ukraine has been busy with its

u home book, pushing forward reforms to cope corruption and decrease holly galks infants o y fi team of russian addresses that are in the country praise from the use execute. if you have me great strides, much greater than anyone expected from a country at war, you are undergoing the reforms while fighting a full scale war. and the goal is surely within reach. now that the eu has approved, ukraine's reforms accessing talks can begin. but they will be heavy on technical detail. negotiations will mean going through every chapter of the usually book, all $35.00 of them and making sure that you cry is lost a line that includes of

a policy areas such as energy, taxation and justice. the 27 currently you members will have many more opportunities to approve or block ukraine's progress. and joining this class could take years or even decades. all that means you trans journey to you membership could still be added on board. and that was a report by d. w.
