a state uh tv headquarters here. we don't have a lot of information, but according to news agency f, be there with clashes between for testers and right to police. and apparently at the protest of over went and over band and shift that i to police who according to f, b was fighting rubber bullets at the protest. does the couch then follow to provide for these who entered the building of a bundle at this state tv? and then the 4th for the call can fit a please. the reception area of the building, the broadcast, the facebook page says that many people are dropped inside. but just as i said, we don't have a lot of details as of now what we know that these protests has been going on for a long time. but they have gone out of the extremely violent in the last couple of days. and this, the international save that they have analyzed and they have attempt to get that

information from witnesses, a destiny needs from videos from for the plastic evidence that conforms that with these you how it happened is that use on law for force against the protest of the also and that's the international also says that the witness destinies, us a proof that the police also failed to predict the best we can protest of what we have to understand. it's not only the police. the students also said that this organization, bangladesh, jethro leak, which is a student board, be a pro government stoops, a student body vs for testers. the student protest to say that the full members of this group and they were on arms, they had, they had lots, fix clubs. and some of them even had to was, and they did not. they, they did not discriminate between meals, students and female students on the adapt, all of them from the have these reports. the government, of course,

denies being behind violence and has put the blame on, on the opposition finish. let's zoom out just for a moment for those who are just getting up to speed with the story a tell us about this quote, a system that protesters are against. what is it exactly and, and why has it become so contentious? ok for care. the court, the system was stopped at 1972 by shifting when she put him on with the father of a bunny of this gun in 5 minutes to shake athena. at that time, bungler, there's wanted to support the freedom fighters who had helped let this fight. the independence was a from focused on an over us fiscal system. so a lot of changes in it, but at the end it's got informed. if this court system is implemented, it would mean that 56 percent of the government jobs will be dissolved. so public like, or graduating students can not apply for this job. and the bulk of the co dot is a lot to,

to families and relatives of freedom fights. and we have to understand why this angers students so much because a bundle dish, although has done economically really well, of a shake has a nice head for the economic success of bundle of dish. but then the last couple of years from now, this has struggled economically. it's a country 170000000 people. and in this country 32000000 young people are out of jobs. and therefore, when this court system was reinstated by a court, it's really under the students and they came on the streets and started protesting against openness. where do things stand now? because if i understand correctly, the supreme court has actually suspended a court order that had reinstated that quote, a system is that that's not enough for protesters. clearly. that's not enough because the students favorite do not trust the government of sha casino because they believe that is in her political interest to keep these reforms to keep the score in some form. and what,

what happened was that the process been to happen to supreme brenda high court reinstated discourse. last month, protests started. they were mostly peaceful, but chickens. we not give a statement that really triggered and angered a lot of students. she called these protests does. it does that god which a single fence system and which means collaborators of focused on and that really angered the students. and because of the protest supreme court did suspend. but now the student said that we don't trust the government actually because the non, unless these reforms are permanently to move, we will not stop being r. thank you so much for bringing us up to speed on the story. that is our reporter finished in java to here with me in the studio. we're going to move on now to some other news or so the funder lion has secured a 2nd term as president of the european commission. the use executive administration, european parliament, reelected under lion for another 5 year term. with

a comfortable majority. she gained 401 of the 707 votes, cast her election insurance, continuity of leadership. it also means there will be no vacuum at the top of the $27.00 nation block as it struggles to deal with the war and ukraine. climate change, migration, and threats to democracy. we are working all together for a strong you're, we're working on the topics of prosperity and competitiveness in our economy. social fairness because we have a social market economy. we're working on protecting people. so security and defense, but the most important is the over arching topic of strengthening our democracy. our democracy is under attack from inside and from outside. and therefore, it is crucial that the democratic forces stand together to defend our democracy, to one of the $720.00 european parliamentarians who had to say in this election is the hand of norma. and she is

a member of the greens and joins us now from strasburg, a very warm welcome to d. w. funder lion has been re elected as president of the commission. are you happy with the results? i guess 1st of all, i'm exhausted. that's most of us, 720 are but i'm not sure if happy is the right word us. we still have a lot of work to do in some criticism towards fund line, but i'd say i'm relieved. the european union is that solid rock in the world in tom, on that we could play our party, john, that was enough on the line, at least form is something twice on the green deal, on social reforms. and now we're gonna have to see how we can money past that over the course of the next 5 years. let's talk a little bit more about the green deal fund. a line has promised to stay true to ex . um, this is of course the agenda that is supposed to make your climate neutral by 2050 . but she has been under quite

a bit of pressure from farmers and conservatives to make compromises here. what can you do to make sure that she sticks to those core principles of the 1st of all starting today, we're going to remind her again of her own words, making this a key agenda. and we are also working with farmers that actually want to protect via diversity with farm is that want to make sure that their children and the children of their children still have a line they can for him. there's so many parts into your opinion at the moment you should just put your hands on the sore. you can see how dry it is and that is endangering order of our food security. so as a matter of fact, there's just no way we can evade that. he needs to deliver on the green deal, we need to deliver to farmers, especially when it comes to via diversity, but also make sure that farmers can earn a good living, that they are not. that's a house hostage by the big corporations and to build

a deal out of that. i think the goal is to bring the farmers on board who are more critical right now for that already so many out there who want to have a different way of farming. and today, what was the fund a line from is that they will be given extra subsidies, extra support if they take their responsibility in protecting the major. so reaching out to those farmers who are interested in working together. um, it must be said that the greens now are much less powerful in this parliament since having boss seats in june selection. how does that change your strategy going forward? actually today we were more powerful as of time the we where the king makers was the last one to lion was had 41 votes more then she needed and 45 boats were coming from the green. so she wouldn't have been re elected without us not trust that she would remember that. and it also shows that we can build, even though the rights came in stronger and dimensions. we can still this pro,

democratic pro climate pro european majority is in the european parliament and the greens are a reliable part of that. i just wanna ask you about another points about slender lie and raised during her speech before the vote today about the need for a true european defense union. that is also something that you have also been calling for. do you think it is realistic that we will see progress toward this? of the slogans for its, for per year in defense union on the news, we have had them 5 years ago. we have had them 10 years ago. by today we are forced more than never to deliver because we are taught, or ukraine is tucked by russia in our media neighborhoods. and also, um, we don't have, we have sinking watches in the u member states, but a bigger security needs. so there's just no way that we can make your pin citizens safe and secure without pulling our resources without saving money out of synergies

. and i hope that soon copy tools and the member states will understand dogs and give the european union a more prominent role. and we in that you can call them and we'll continue to fight to make sure that we play our road. because at the moment, the problem is that all these debates around to your team, different union, they are happening behind co stores. in the council, we see more and more like heads of states coming out of this council meeting, saying very contradictory things. the only way we can really move ahead with the proper defense union is with the strong rollover. you can ponder much in that. i'm here, i really hope that also left on the line is also going to deliver on her promise to strengthen the parliament as the coolest nature. well, thank you so much for taking the time to speak with us on data we can use and share your vision there. and it's kind of knowing that a member of the greens into european parliament ser thank us and to the united states president joe biden has cancelled

a fence after testing positive for cove. and 19 more senior democrats are calling for him now to pull out of the race for the white house. on the other side, with the political divide, republicans are heading into the last day of a you for a party congress energized. by the announcement of donald trump running made j defense. president trump represent america's last best hope to restore. what if last may never be found again, a country were working, class boy, born far from the halls of power can stand on this stage as the next vice president of the united states of america. once a student, christie cook, donald trump. hi, you send it to the g d vance. let's move in to don't his loyalty to the former president. when he accepted the nomination to be his running mate. well, keep close boys from the american hotline to dragged himself out to pull the t. this is the message that he will take forward in the election campaign to win over

blue collar workers and says that protecting the needs of odin we citizens includes taking a tough 9 on us foreign policy. together we will make sure our allies share in the burden of securing world peace, no more free rides for nations that betrayed the generosity of the american taxpayer who's supposed to be are in c. so the trunk fence tickets. meanwhile, president joe biden is dealt another blow to his campaign and image as he was diagnosed with coven 19 was on the campaign trail in las vegas. as he takes a step back from campaigning and returns home to recover uncertainty about his candidacy. contin used to bills with in his own ranks

california and congressman adam shift is one of the latest leading democrats cooling on joe biden, to step down from the presidential race consent david biden's, age and cognitive abilities are the shadow in his campaign, which a growing chorus of little make his se increases his risk of losing to donald trump in november as well earlier to indeed of the reporter stuff in simon's in washington, i asked him how significant it is to see why makers like a democratic representative. adam shift calling for president, bite into a band and his re election campaign. it's there you wouldn't think it is. uh, i mean, congressman from california. he, in the us congress, a representative bob to adam. see if it's not just adams, if he's a really philly reknown, a figure because he was a, a big dog in the impeachment, trials against donald trump. you may remember. and of course, he is regarded as

a close confidant of nancy pelosi and here is where it's getting interesting. it seems that nancy pelosi, the former speaker of the house, and who retired from this of course, years ago. now, i'm pulling the strings here a report of the she had now 2 conversations with donald or with, with the presidential by a party and told him that he is thinking of the democratic party that the house is concerned about losing in november. and in the election and that it doesn't sit well with them and that is significant. now, it is generally agreed in washington that as long as chuck schumer, senate leader, as well as how came jeffreys the minority leader in the house do not ask him direct the him. president joe biden, to step out to drop out of the race that he is fairly safe in claiming and saying

that he's up for the task. that is no mental disability, which should keep him from performing not only as president bus also as campaigner . and as future president, so there is a lot of things going on here in washington every day. and the democratic party is absolutely in a time crunch. now the campaign is in a time crunch. time is running out for them to make a decision. will it be joe biden? chances are, or will he step down and then they have a problem? where's the next one? who's replacing him? you stefan, talk to me about biden's diagnosis with cove at 19. how big of a set back is this for the campaign? for the campaign is significant because they have to cancel all the campaign events he had planned for the next few days. for the president is the 2nd time. have twice cobit already days. now, of course, the modern vaccines available, he doesn't,

he says he doesn't have any significant symptoms. and if you find, but cells isolating in delaware in his home, as you said, for the white house, that's not a problem. those guys, they know how to deal with this and he can do some work from home. but the, for the campaign, this is a significant set back. because in this, in this a perimeter or in this, in this paradigm onto this paradigm of days, a week president and, and democratic campaign or was not up for the task. now on top of that to toby diagnosis is not what the president has held for. i'm sure that and the campaign for sure not. well, thank you so much for your report in minnesota from simon's in washington dc. and a quick look now with some other stories making news around the world. at least 2 people were killed when a passenger train derailed in northern india. many more were injured in the incident in which i per dash states rescue teams are on site engines,

specials say they're investigating why the train came off the tracks. ukrainians have lined the streets to welcome home. nearly 100 soldiers returned andre prisoners, while many had been house by russia for more than 2 years. the exchange also saw a russian soldiers released and returned to moscow. a and a suspected arson attack has killed 7 people, including 3 children in the southern french city. a nice police are searching for 3 suspects over the apartment fire any poor neighborhood. prime minister gabriela tal visited the scene and condemns the incident as quotes awful and revolting to brazil. now, where dozens of wildfires are burning in the world's biggest tropical wetlands, the fontanello is a rich ecosystem stretching across the borders of brazil, olivia and paraguay. the so far this year alone, at least 7000 square kilometers, have been burned. almost 5 percent of its area. drought has dried out more than

half the wetlands, dw correspondent and nicole resound reports. so you can see the extent of the destruction best from the air. this is the thing to know. it should be what the drought has dried it out and now fires are consuming it. hundreds of thousands of pictures look like this. fiber days have come from all parts of brazil as well as neighboring bolivia towards you. today, the wind has already turned around $190.00 degrees. you know? so if i think going to respond to the wind will change again and every time it changes, we need a different strategy over stop the engine will cover today's strategy here is to try to push the flames to us the product y river. the light equipment enables them to move fast and to target the little flames that can lead to so much destruction.

the firefighter because was just put on one, the next one just already in the making, as we watch off little flames that's developed to one village. well toner and over, you know, if tony was here, this year's bias of breaking records up by more than 2000 percent over the last year. 5 for it is cut the on the growth to try to stop defies spreading but much off the ground is pete meeting 5 can continue put days on the fee to hear these fall as a last lease started by people putting rubbish, clearing undergrowth, dave and smoking cigarettes, let's think about off on this as a start. i will, we need to avoid a more regrettable situation and capital at them if we're taking action because most of the files here are a private property and they start to scratch into the middle of the pants. a lot of the to state and federal areas and we have to stop it from spreading it into the

protected areas. knowing furnace was out of pocket. so that's when you see all this destruction that we saw from the helicopter. how do you feel like i've seen a lot bro, cuz you caught us home is as a feeling that locals to share zeal. de santis lives by the river. so hell and was the sped the fires, but the drought is also affecting the water. it's to me to is lower than normal, jeopardizing the fishing business. as have passed, it's difficult. there are very few fish. we don't have fish, like we used to. my, we usually go here to my porch and catch pantano. so that was good, conduct, not just the right size, and nowadays i don't catch them. neither the right nor the wrong size. give me the, the new for, give me the, the, the whole region. ripple and land are in trouble. as firefighters tried to limit the damage,

the government is investigating potential culprits that with me in the studio and database corresponding to nicole reese who filed that report, she's just back from those affected wetlands. nicole, welcome. can you tell us a little bit more about what you experienced there? i pretty much much feels like the firefighter i felt hot, broken and devastated because you're fly open area. that should be green flush. that should be swans. that's still a little part of that. but most of it is barren. it's chart and you ask yourself, is this how it's going to be? is this ever going to be reversed again? and this is like, you know, it's a wetlands 60 percent off the surface of the wet surface of this wetland have disappeared for out the last year because of extreme drought. this is on the home to jack was on a zillow's showing the show springville birds and it's got like, you know, a fish nursery is. that's why the women report basically is not gonna going to get any good catch anymore because there's no nurseries for them anymore. at the moment, so it's really hot breaking devastating and you walk through an area where there

should be water. you shouldn't be able to walk that, but you can't. and everything under your feet is crackling like really dry vegetation. and she just stone stopped to wonder how we got to. yeah, really devastating for the bio diversity and for the people living there. what are the local authorities doing to try to tackle these places, but we just saw it in the report. obviously all hands on deck and we have uh, firefighters from all over presented with a huge amount of experience in other countries and wildfires as well. from bolivia as well. um the local authorities now have moved bass cans to tackle these bias. this is something that has improved on the, the government of lula. and to both in our a, that wasn't quite the case. they told me on the ground. there's also more plants to fly over to kind of, you know, drop more to, etc. so they, they feel better prepared, they have more resources, but obviously the files are very hostile, so it's quite a challenge. and then you have to prevention work, which is really important. so that coughing these fire breaks,

and they also need to raise awareness of what happens when in a drought. you, for example, make a file open again a waste and the environment administer pointed out that over 90 percent of these wide fonts originate on private property. so they're probably man made and they really need to investigate this. they really need to kind of show people what consequences exist if you play with fire and i think that needs to be tough of punishment as well. so people realize what it means when there's a severe drought. yeah, more public education, more consequences for us. and this isn't just a story about brazil though, is it, this is going to have a fax that reach far beyond its borders and beyond the continental itself, right? absolutely like if it's happening in brazil or in another country, it really doesn't matter because it's big. it's not only one tree burning and this affects us all. we see it in these past years. how the climate is kind of turning on us with severe droughts, with slow things, with most which one for us because some of the originate from dry from the storms, but also exists by the way i never for,

i would get to know something like that. so things can ignite these clients and that's the times we're living in and with every inch of green space, that's the basic mean with we get one inch closer of using kind of a science against those climate changes. and this is also our plan if this is also our ecosystem. so it puts us in direct script really. so if whitland disappears, like we see on this backdrop here, it looks like this. things are not good, not good for via diversity, not good for the climate because these areas are huge allies in reducing c o 2, we need every inch of them. and so that's the real threat. it's also a frightful space is basically a cool thank you. so much for your important reporting on this issue, that is our correspondent nicole reese. we very much appreciate it to just before we go, a quick reminder of the top stories we are following for you. students, protesters of storms, the offices of bangladesh, the state broadcaster, thousands of people have been killed in violent clashes in recent weeks. activists oppose a quote,

a system for government jobs and or underlying security. second term as president of the european commission. she was backed by all majority in the european parliament inch, cross sparks, and that is offering different. now brent golf is next with more news for you. thank you so much for watching

the conflict with tim sebastian. few countries of what's the war and ukraine more closely than poland, which was the time. and again, the poor thing would much be on his board is no one listing my guess this week and more so just to just to some of this stuff have them. but not to the warnings. the government for you are the same conflict next on

d. w. cloud store and almost unlimited supply of water. but what to do when they won't release the pressure is liquid on their own pattern of dwindling rainfall is driving scientific innovation. turning vapor into drinking water, catching fog in response to draft the in 45 minutes. on d w, the, this video change to it says us so to is killing civilians in the rock roll off to posting. it's julie and his sons became a wanted man. 14 years later the we can expound a is fine and these 3 general is done doing the traces, the stories of

a soldier under survivor of the attack, they speak to each other for the 1st time. finding a captivating story about this struggle for forgiveness. i'm sure, guardians of trees, julian, his terms and the dog secrets of war, starts july 27th on d, w. the last year poland the trends in europe and ousted the fall, arrived law and justice policy. so they've been in profit 8 years. but just how divided does the country remain? and how wide is the government that the far right party emerged in the european elections as the most popular among young people? my guess this week and more so is the justice mid as the them, but not my opinion, although we are maybe a little bit a little missing this kind of a vision. how to talk about liberal values, how to talk about europe too young to young voters,

few countries of what's the war and ukraine more closely than poland,
