the, the business, the, the news life from berlin, china as president rules after it goes lead, as after somebody can be doing huge and pain promises deeper ties and millions of dollars. he also says he and helps create a 1000000 jobs across africa. also coming up fighting for justice for the son, mama, dean was among them more than a 1000 people killed during empty government protested bundle. this is fair to say he was shot dead by security forces and donald trump holes the town hall meeting on fairly tough with us network fox news. but we did health is johnson is going to

transform the presidential race the on british manager. welcome. we begin in china right chinese either shoot june being has pledged financing, but more than $50000000000.00 to africa over the next 3 years at a somebody in page. and he told african leaders he wants to deep on for operation with them on infrastructure and trade. president, cheese at china would have created 1000000 jobs across the continent, more than 50 african leaders as well as un secretary general antonio good tatters audit ending the badging summit. i hear some of what the chinese data had to say a food. so you're going to see china africa relations are now at their best period

in history. looking to the future, i propose what raising china is bilateral relations with all african countries that have diplomatic ties to the level of strategic relationship signing the binding sheets. and following developments from i used to shop here in taipei is dw correspondent james j to james president. she has promised $50000000.00 on a 1000000 jobs in africa. but does he expect anything of a ton? absolutely, we'll just going through some of the documents. those has come out in the last hour . so this action plan from the chinese government's empower, intends to develop ties of africa, nations. and it's really a listening of issues that are trying to be addressed there and operate now some of the important ones instead of the chinese government was going to encourage the chinese companies to invest in critical infrastructure in africa like add ports and

ports encouraged trades to be conducted in with the redmond be internationalizing, the rendon, b, as well as quoting on international institutions to revise the way the debt sustainability is, is dealt with around the world. this has been something that's been very critical for african nations as they approach this. somebody's the 1st ones to be held in beijing since 2018 given that a lot of these nations have been facing that sustainability issues over the past couple of months. so a lot of promises when it comes to the actions that are going to take place and, and the plan. so how these ties are going to be developed over the next couple of months, key questions that will remain and whether there's any political conditions, the task given to the only african nation not to be in attendance, who is the only african nation to maintain ties, diplomatic ties with taiwan and children because also proposed elevating ties with those countries that china does have diplomatic relations with to the level of a strategic relationship. why is that there?

what we see with this strategic relationship is really outlined in this document. what the chinese government says is that the, the supports in the infrastructure investment support that they provide africa is without political strings attached state will. so say that china respects the developmental models of various countries around the world, including in africa. what is really trying to join distinction here with is what they perceive as the conditions that the us and europe implies the infrastructure of support to the african continent. but also in this context where chinese supports for africa has really declines over the past couple of years. and what we're seeing is trying to china, really trying to bring africa back into its little bits. despite the economic problems, the china has been facing over the past couple of years, which has led to that decline in chinese investments into africa. there really, this is a, a theater of grades here. political composition and china is really trying to get ahead in this part of the wealth. now she also wants to launch the joint military drills with countries in africa. i mean, what does this mean for a global security and global competition?

there what we've already seen this summer, china are undertaking military drills with countries like tons of new and mozambique. and really questions will remain as a once military and political conditions are going to be attached to this, this more favorable environment that china is trying to construct. with africa, some of the key outcomes from this form that we've seen so far as china, promising to train thousands of african personnel ministry personnel, but be on just a minute to context. there's also the political context to look at, see which is that china saying it wants to bring african officials to badging, to train what they say is in more than the governance. now, the question will remain, you know, going forward won't political system and what type of governance that china is going to be teaching these african officials. and whether it looks, i think like a liberal democracy that we see in europe. but again, just to reiterate that this form well was focused on the economy, is much about much more than just thoughts, james j to in type a thanks so much for that to do news about the war

in the ukraine next, where one of russia's immediate objectives is to capture the city of full house. it's a ukraine and really present a close to don't yet, an eastern region. russia already holds president of all of the medicine lensky a bit. situation is difficult, and despite the fist fighting russian forces appeared to be close in hand meters at a time, russian troops had been advancing. near paragraphs, they've already captured important ukrainian positions nearby. the situation is growing more and more critical. they're getting close. a very strong defense lines around the poconos and stuff being built for a long time, so it can defend the city even against a much superior force. it's the last defense expose. and while the ukraine military's tough line of defense directly around paragraphs has been in place since

2014, the next lines are not nearly as strong. so as they can break through it the graft, the russians will likely find it easier to advance further the terrain to the west . but for grove schofield, the paper is pretty much very flat open during and they're not much defense position positions. so there is no force or peace line. the only thing what do convince can do is decide to delaying action of the russians if there is a multi coal in operational breakthrough. preventing that operational breakthrough is vital. progress is of great strategic importance as the logistics held by road and rail. the routes to vital cities like doing that constant and ortho come, a tourist and the pro passed through it. but the russian army is pushing closer every day towards the graft and evacuation has been underway for weeks. still, whether the russians can actually take the city military experts we spoke with, suggest it's not likely in the short term, at least they're

a start to reach the heart within 6 lines. they actually might be happy to just shoot the city to ruins. we thought tillery show that the re, lines truth, that their old lines, because that degrades the usability of a cross, cuz it looks you stick on top. the latest russian offensive has been ongoing for many months. now the russian army is seizing perhaps several 100 meters of ukrainian territory a day in the move towards the graft. whether the ukrainian military can put a stop to the advance is a matter to be decided in coming days. and indeed, up as an economy drives me from mall from key mc. what is the latest you can tell us about the fight football cross as well. we understand that russian troops of create and then come, which is east of and south of the city about how pollution is back to h in the past month. so. so there's slightly more than $20000.00 civilians left

there. that's according to the local authorities. lots of shops and kind of big public institutions have already shut down and evacuated. we understand that it's kind of basic facilities are still operational, that for the population decided not to leave. and now that includes more than a 1000 children apparently. and i think, you know, this is always going to be pretty slow and kind of drawing out. if we look at the cutting of previous russian attempts to take that, he's like boston, what i've got. it is comparatively easy to adults through open country to fields where there is less than the way of cover for defending ukraine forces. but as soon as you get to build up areas where there's the sellers, whether it kind of concrete high rise buildings that the paintings can use as a kind of lookout. so it's kind of post to shoot from. the school grinds down to a very much slower pace, and we've seen these kind of very joint out bottles and other places in that region in done yet. so i think this is going to be the story of the coming months months, and it's not likely to be over in

a matter of days or weeks. but how does you pay and managing the broad, a frontline, not only info cross, but in other regions as well of the so if you look at the front kind of take step back and look at the overall front lines. basically, the only movement is the internet screening ramp across and in west coast region where ukraine has taken that churchy the rest of the surgery. if you look at only as of the front lines that are basically about a 1000 kilometers long, there is much less movement. it is a little more localized. and the real kind of new stories and the kind of unexpected occurrences that happening beyond those front line. so you've had those missiles strikes by russia, very intensive, the last 2 weeks will across ukraine, even in the fall westfield, the publish porter. whenever a hand you go to cranium, drones, heating russian oil. so these deep in russian territory, you can see drones as reportedly attacking not only russian at ships in quite me, but also in rush appropriate, numerous east. so that's really the kind of story of the last couple of months that, apart from these 2 kind of regions, most of the movement,

most of the kind of unexpected, a symmetrical kind of attacks happening away from that kind of land fighting. and you know, either by drone, at sea or in yet. and as the ukraine battles on the front lines make significant political shift also underway. foreign minister, demitra, who live up, for example, has submitted his resignation as part of the se, lensky government, a re shuffle. what is the significance of this re shuffle during more time? i don't think this is about policy differences. i think this is more about post ninety's and about for spaces. you know, we don't having an election here unless you grant that once election during war time. but the res, i guess, you know, especially even among kind of, you know, not just the population but also among so let's get team a desire for some kind of a novelty, a new faces. people coming into new roles is also speculation that this is about basically the advises around zalinski, increasing the influence over the ministers of the kind of people that the

population would see and know by name. so those, that shift to the, we're still not sure whether this, we shuffle is over yet, or if more people might still change that shelves. but it's not like we've had an explanation from lensky as to why people leaving the jobs has been speculation that may be collab dusty or, and you kind of story. we've heard that maybe in his case, it was because he wasn't able to convince the americans to allow ukraine to hit to target deep inside russia with american weapons. but apart from that, it's a, we'd be left guessing and to try to work out what is more to come. do you know that kind of spawn a nic only and ukraine, thanks very much for that update. of course of now, what other story is making headlines around the world? germany's boosting it's air defenses with an advanced system it has already delivered to ukraine. the artist stays going into service in northern germany. the system protects against enemy drones act often cruise. besides johnston, all actual stress that germany will not come back on military aid to ukraine,

but us as indicted to employees of russian state media and f o r t. and in both sanctions on it stop. and it says that accused of seeking to influence the members presidential election for us. attorney general's have the 2 are charged with conspiring to commit money laundering and violating the forwarding agents registration act are charged with conspiring of frances on his daughter, southeastern shaw has signed a declaration with the grad. the mom of indonesia is stuck a lot of musk. the declaration warns against using religion, distill conflict. frances, it's the last name, wisdom country to move up to its promise of hominy and diversity, and fight religious intolerance. so it's been exactly one month since the former prime minister of bangladesh shakes i see enough, said the country after the student led mos uprising, toppled a government the country's health when history said more than a 1000 people died in the police that by then studied up to during those process,

many were young people did happen to have spoken to one family whose son was among those killed. one not younger viewers may find some images, you know, next report distressing. 22, a year to work mohammed dean was planning to pursue his higher education. but his future plans ended on august 5th. these families stay shot dead by bunny, had this security for 5th doing and the government protests for them. the law. so for son and brother is unbeatable. dean's father sees his son was shot 5 times now on he once is just to defer hits on the one that is it that will allow me while others i started. i want to appeal to this government to punish the motor is

asia, as well as the autocratic government and the autocratic lead to shake a scene of the fatherhood minutes to a certain amount of funds. the must face of justice is i do believe that water, though is it that the senior police officers use the police force to mode to my son . i would all of them to be punished. i want to see the people responsible for the murder, my son, to be punished while i'm alive in this world. i just, i want to say that this is fear shot. i live found, defends body dean was here in the jot the body district taking part in one of the last and the government protest. the just of us before prime minister, she cause enough that the country law enforcement agency started fighting at the demonstrative dean was going to put the debt parties that hospitals official fee the. to see that the dean's father can't afford

a lawyer. but to see if that won't stop him seeking justice at the supreme court in tucker, he needs the assistant attorney general, who agrees to pursue the case one month on from the violent protests that direct to the hosting of she casino. the interim government has promised justice will be soft to or affected families for families like mohammedans. that justice gone to come soon enough. january for more is sarah jose, and she's a senior advocate of the supreme court of a bind that they should welcome to dw, is in how likely would you say it is that the relatives of those allegedly killed by police? we get justice i i'm good. so that they'll get just has but i think it's a, it's a challenging and just good process and it's uh, the boss to just is filled with many obstacles to, to those lights are being said,

the like the 1st thing we just saw on camera. i think it's important to realize that, you know, just just means not just just using accountability for perpetrators, but also the finding out the truth of what happened and why that happened. why these nice things took place and there's very short period of time of so many young people and others and also getting reparation so that he can select the family of the, of those big chairs that goes to the supplier. that thousands of people with the thousands of young people with the injuries and certainly the pellets on the bodies . and many of them psychologically deeply affected. many of them permanent disabled and many of them blind it. so it's, it's a very 20 boss do how we get justice, all of these atrocities which has happened over such a short period of time. but i think that it will be possible. but many, there are many preconditions for that to happen. both of these preconditions and you also talked about obstacles, difficult to sort of elaborate on that. and then i think as you just showed in the,

in the clip, you saw the person who was the fathers was seeking justice for his sons cooling. i found that he was engaged, he couldn't afford a lawyer. there is a government, legally machinery, but he started to the government. the lead machine has not assistant people who have face repression by mistake. this could be a moment to change that. i volunteered with the lead organization as do many other lawyers. none of these lead little either when i didn't have yet been auster such as support and coordinate the process. some of us is stepping forward to do that. as you saw, the assistants danny jenner was shown, is also stepped forward to assist that further. but there's no coordinates of process. that's the needs to be of some kind of central process led by the government indicating how these cases ought to be. how victims, whether the breeds families or whether the individuals who have been, you know, arrested, detained, the engine and so on. how they st put the seek justice. otherwise they're being left to their own devices,

running from police stations to ports to find the claims. and they really do need legal the next much assistance with that process and how much of a prior to is accountability for the intent of government. they said it's a high priority professor. unison sofa set that up at the outset and instead of opened and speech to the people, often you took office. i'm and i think what we have seen from being term governments is they have made some important steps forward in terms of dealing with the reparations be. so the health ministry of the government, for example, has announced that it will then show health care free health. katherine, both public and private hospitals for all of those who were injured. as i said, many thousands were injured in his protest by being fired upon by light, bullets, rubber bullets and so on. so that process has been announced as being coordinated with non governmental organizations or the individuals, even a private sector. i believe the pharmaceutical association is donating funds to and to facilitate this process. it's on the reparation side. things have started to

happen. there's little to be an announcement that a foundation would be set up for those for the families of those who appealed so that so that remembrance but also for the support, are you able to do sion of the families. but on the, just as an account site, that is the big challenge. and i mentioned as i said, we need to not only send to processes for the intake of cases or friction section, and also to invest to investigate space. lack of independent investigations is a real challenge for the moment. thanks so much for joining us today, sir. jose and speak to us from brockovich. thank you. news news now about the us election and donald trump has handled the town hall on friendly, tough on the fox news channel. the event takes place as prom faced as a transform race for the why does the former president has watched his lead and opinion polls invented since joe biden endorsed vice president campbell of harris as democratic party know many. the 2 rivals will come face to face next tuesday in

their 1st debate. so yeah, let's get mall from my the demo, steven bid steve from us election team. steven morning rush wants to talk to you in this event. what were your main takeaways versus wasn't just friendly turf? this was a hosted by sean hannity. someone who is styled himself is an unofficial advisor to donald trump. it's very clear that this was a campaign event masquerading as a town hall. you had lots of tears, lots of whooping for him. there were no questions actually from the audience the whole time, at least in the 1st hour. we learned later that some questions were asked to be here tomorrow on sean hannity show. basically what stands out is this is really preparation for the debate that's coming up. this is how trump likes to prepare. he likes his name, chance he likes, he's one side of events. but he also likes to insist that the other side, the complet harris isn't ready for the stage that she is not prepared, that she is naive still, and that she's going to fail on the stage. and part of doing that is one,

suggesting that she knows the questions beforehand coming up to the debate that is going to be deceptive. what's going on there? another excuse me, another is by talking up about the preparations around the debate, whether they're going to be allowed to stand, be seated. if there's going to be a live mike on the whole time. issues that really sort of suggests that the other side is trying to manipulate the terms of the debate. and then of course, finally, by having this great big stage, this big presentation that you call a town hall and say i'm here, i'm available, i'm not hiding anything. the other side, however, they're trying to work the details of this coming to be one of the things stood out brush. most of america on this day was talking about a shooting that happened, another school shooting in the state of georgia. 4 people killed, i believe, from a 14 year old with a gun. this was barely mentioned in this debate. it just shows gun control, still not a viable issue for this party and for this candidate. so what can we expect from this debate next tuesday? yeah, i think this is all preparation for us. so this is the big question. we're going to want to see if, if that sport has been lost by the trump campaign,

a lot of people would say, look at the opinions. paul's complet harris has come up. but we also know that in the us, this election takes place to elect for college. that means you have to win states, not the overall amount of voters, something the democrats have had better luck doing and recent elections. and then many of those battle ground states would call them the key states that these opponents have to when trump is actually doing better, or he's very close. so in many ways the momentum appears to have shifted. but in reality, not quite so much. what's going to have to happen is we're going to wonder, 1st of all, there's gonna be a policy debates. you know, the republicans would like to stress immigration for one. the economy. harris would like to stress be productive rights as an area where she does well. abortion rights, but really this is going to be for harris by proving that, that momentum that she's had in the overall polls, that it's legitimate, but it's grounded in something real. she's going to have to stay stable. she's going to have to withstand his attacks. he wants to prove, on the other hand, that you can rattler speaking about these a battleground states. i mean, this debate, sorry, this townhome was held in the background state of pennsylvania. and although the

opinion polls seem to indicate but to come to her as, as a lead over trump, but she's not doing too well in these battleground states. is that correct? yeah, in many of them she's still struggling. right. and so in the state that she has to wednesdays, like north carolina, maybe not so much this year. but in past elections, north carolina was still in play. virginia of florida. she's going to have to have a clear lead and start showing you cleared lead is going to have to really hook in and take effect. and that's something that we haven't quite seen yet. even if in the general mainstream polls we're seeing, there is more movement in her direction. so this is something that's both candidates are going to target during that debate. they want these undecided voters to some extent. they know trump, they know his bluster, they may not know harris as well. and so she's going to have to prove herself by standing up to him on that stage. we'll leave it there for the moment. do this even to be of late. thanks so much. i to and yet in europe, aides back to school time and france is testing a mobile phone band in hundreds of middle schools. it's part of what it's calling

a digital pause for school kids. separate countries in europe are debating whether to band students from having smartphones while in school. and if the crime is deemed a success, it could lead to a nationwide ban. next year. back to school will be different for tens of thousands of students and friends this fall. now they have to hand in their smartphones before they can have the class or next period. well, we're experimenting to see whether it works the earlier we deal with the addiction to these funds that back to me for new sit friends is rolling out this experiment, which it calls at digital pause, across the 180 middle schools. part of the move by francis government to limit the time children spend on screens over fears. it can hinder their development. while students were already required to turn off phones in class,

now the devices will have to stay locked away for the entire duration of the school day, including during recess. so obviously the students used to being without their phones all day and teachers seem to live differently even during recess instead of being on the phone and follow up with. friends isn't the only country cracking down on phones and schools. the netherlands, greece and belgium have ruled out similar restrictions on smart devices. parents here said they were on board with the band folks, as long as i can reach him when he's on the road to find out where he's at the bonds, no problem for me. it's reassuring his phone what good stolen or lost of just the francis stone band experiment comes the head of a possible plan to enforce that nationwide from 2025 and that's it for the moment coming up. next off, the break focus on europe investigates the increasing violence towards politicians
