>> this is dw news, from berlin. soldiers in the west african nation have launched a coup attempt. they have reported they arrested the country's president and prime minister. thousands of anti-government protesters have picketed the streets as leaders from africa and beyond called for calm. we will get an update from the malian capital.

the court says this man orchestrated the 2005 truck bombing that killed one. angela merkel tells the president of belarus that his government must release political prisoners and avoid using violence against peaceful protesters in the country. >> if we have any hope of ending this chaos, we have to vote for joe biden like our lives depend on it. >> the first ever virtual convention culminates thursday with biotin's nomination as donald trump's challenger in the november election.

i am brent goff. we begin tonight with breaking news from molly -- mali. this comes after shots were heard earlier today at a military base, trucks carrying mutinous soldiers were met by cheering crowds as they drove through the malian capital of monaco. both the president and prime minister are thought to have been sheltering in the president private residence when they were detained. they are hoping to hold an emergency session to address the crisis in mali. this journalist is covering development for us in monaco.

>> it is confirmed that the presidenent has been arrested. they are just trying to calm down the population. just a minute ago, i was around the house of the president. about 100 meters from the house of the president, you have the house of his son which has been -- protesters have gotten side. >> we have four ports that the government is and that the president and prime minister are being held by rebel soldidiers right now. do we know whehere the president anand the prime m minister are t the moment?

>> at the moment, we hehear they have been arrrrested in the president's house. when they y take him up. this was around 5:00 inn thehe morning when we heard about this. the entrance was already blocked by the soldiers. after they arrested him, they just took him up. brent: thank you very much. that was the latest from the capital, bamako. talk to me about what is fueling the unrest that we are seeing. >> corruption, mismanagement, violence in that part of the

country. there is a cocktail of claims that have been going on, accusing the president of mismanagement in the country and also poverty. people are struggling to get food and everything. there is also corruption. it has been on since june now. there is the movement that is fueling this opposition against the president. there are lots of problems right now. brent: a spokesperson for this movement said that what we are seeing is not a military coup but rather a political insurrection. i don't know what the big difference is there.

do we know who is exactly behind this to attempt -- coup attempt? >> we don't know who is behind it. we are waiting for the official statement. what should be understood is the fact that it is a political insurrection. it seems to be the end of weeks and months of protest. this was the place in balmer co. -- bamako where people were gathered. it was the hotspot of the protest. this is why the people think this is not a coup. for them, it is just the response and the answer from the

military to their needs and demands. brent: do we know how this movement expects things to move forward? are they wanting the president and prime minister to resign? what about the other lawmakers in the country? >> the social movement, they have been asking the president to resign but we don't know yet whwhat they're going to o say. in the best case scenariri they will a ask him to resign a and e electition will be o organized t in a worse case scenario, maybe troops that are favoring the president will fhtht for him.. brent: indeed. we appreciate your insight

tonight. think you. let's get the french perspective. -- thank you, let's get the french perspective. france is the former colonial power in mali. it is engaged in west africa now against the militias. mali is a focal point. what is the assessment of the situatioio in mamali? >> theyall it a m mutiny. they s said that france was preoccupied, it called for a respect t of law and order and that it would follow closely the mediatation work of thee citaden the west afafrican ststates whis the regional body in order to

bring a satisfactory conclusion. the french are not trying to intervene in that matter but they would like to see a g genel consensus whicich they are seeig now, diplomaticalllly. they said d it is n not a set re to not use constititutional mem. the e european union and f foren secretarary said ts s was not a change that was acceptable.. i suspspect there is a great del of diplomacy goingngn behind the scenes you called france thehe former colonial power. what is impoportant is that a a uple of years back,k, francnce recognized them from the occupatition. with t the french and malaliuan-

malian army fighting together. brent: the french presesident hs promised. to the president of mali. -- proromised full economic assiststance to the preresidentf mali. >> military could be possible. i think that is a cautious way of looking at t how these things wi d double up.. apparently thehe leaders of thte mutantnt the -- mutiny said this was not a coup. that is relieving but the french have been very much aware that mali had been the scenene off ls of protest against corruruption, mismanagemement, economic problems. i am pretty sure that francece would also n need economimic ain

this o one. right now, take it is no question of the french army intervening. brent: that was the e latest frm paris tonight. we appreciated, elizabeth. you and backed tribunal has convicted 11 members of has villa -- hezbollah. the court said that silly my ash -- salim ayash was the man behind this truck bombing. >> a suicide truck bomb blast ripped through bayview louche -- beirut in 2005. it was heard and felt across the city.

22 people lost their lives that day. including the target of the attack, lebebanon's former prime minister, rafik hariri. it allowed she had forces led by the military to come to dominate lebanese political life. now, over 15 years later, a guilty verdict in connection with the killings. >> they find him guilty beyond reasonable doubt. the same evidence also establishes beyond reasonable doubt his knowledge as -- and intention to commit the intentional homicide of 21 other people. >> the ruling was handed down by a you unbacked tribunal in the netherlands, set up to try those suspected in a november, 2005

attack. the judges found there was enough evidence tohow he helped carry out the bombing. he was never arrested. three other defendants were acquitted. among those present to hear the verdict, his son. >> today, because of the special tribunal for lebanon, for thehe first time in the history of political assassinations that lebanon has witnessed, the lebanese found out the truth. for the first time, the tribunal delivered true justice. hariri, who is also a politician said the judges supported his view, that his father was assassinated for his opposition to syrian interference in lebanon. the role of has below -- hezbo

llah remains merker -- murky. brent: citizens angry at housing to lukashenko showed no time -- sign of ending their protest. they are calling on him t to stp down. bebelarus has been gripped by unrest since his widely disputed election win last week. these protesters gathered outside a prison in the capital where many of the people arrested during the protests are thought to be held. they include the husband of thth opposition candidate, svevetlan. she fled the country after the election, fearing for her safety. angela merkel urged for the government to avoid violence and to start a national dialogue

with the political opposition. here is what merkel had to say about the crisis in the country. >> tomorrow, the european council will hold a video council. i spoke with president putin today and made clear that there must be freedom of expression, freedom to protest, political prisoners must be released and there has to be a national dialogue that enables the situation to be resolved peacefully in belarus. we will discuss that further tomorrow. >> let's take this story to the capital of belarus where nick connolly is standing by, good evening to you. it looks like we have another evening of protests on the streets of minsk where you are. quite a challenging day that esther lukashenko has behind him -- mr. lukashenko has behind him. >> i am here in front of the government house and settlements

where people were walking with their flags, their national flags, not the flag of the lukashenko government. people were honking their horns and support all across belarus and minsk. i think t the important thing to remember is these have been protests that have gone on across the country, edited and aided by ststrikes s in governmt run factories that had starteded to be very loyal to lukashenko and his governmentnt. this is a very difficult situation he is finding himself in. maybe his most difficult at the home of this country. >> we heard several things from lukashenko this week. he said he would be open to new elections if the constitution was changed. do you see a strategy behind all this? >> think he is just in survival mode right now. individual promises or the

individual details of these heady days in minsk are less important than the mood. the mood is something that has changed here. you sense a disappearance of fear. people are openly challenging this government. people are discussing rumors that members of the regime are planning an exit. ththose may be confounded by the factct that people are speaking about it openly is a big change. the fact that members of the police have said they will refuse to serve, that is a change we have not seen in previous years in belarus. wheree this goes now, what kind of deal may or may not be possible, i think that is all very difficult to tell now. but you can see on belarusian bases, a real sense of glee at feeling that they are now in charge of their country. >> the european union all phoned

the russian president, vladimir putin to talk about this. how must swayed they have over vladimir putin right now? -- how much sway do they have over vladimir putin right now? >> he had lost his subjectivity in all this. he had been on sanctions callous times and survive them. europe does not have much in the way of instrument to put pressure on him that would really hurt. where the russians will go with this, we have no idea. there had been signs that russia was looking for an end to the sanctions that had hurt russia. that is something that speaks to that. belarus is russia's closest ally. that is something that russians don't really see as a foreign

country but they see it as somehow a brother state. rumors in belarus, that a russian plane has landed in minsk. this is definitely a crisis that is bringing russia and western europe to the table again and to a result that we still can't tell. >> that was nick connolly reported from minsk in belarus. as always, thank you. now to the united states, the democratic party convention has kicked off with a rousing speech from michelle obama. the wife of former president barack obama. this year's convevention is unle any other because of the coronavirus pandemic. the event is being held online without crowds, without the confetti, democrats will formally nominate joe biden as their candidate for president to take on donald trump in the november election.

our correspondent is following the democratic convention for us. it is easier to do that it would have been for years ago, you just have to watch television like everyone else. this is probably the most unconventional convention ever because it is online. how are the democrats dealing with these new conditions? >> i could not have said it better. you're right. i think the sentiment in the u.s. across borders is fairly good. as you said, everything virtual, there is no confetti. there won't be any balloons dropping at the end of this. they had the raging pandemic here in the united states -- as i said, sentiment is good.

i think it feels a little bit like a supersized infomercial at times but taking it all into account, everybody is very happy with this. at least the democrats are. not happy and going the other direction is donald trump, he thinks this is all boring. he did not like anything that he heard said about him yesterday. brent: i am sure he does not like the highlight of the first night. that was the speech given by michelle obama. let's listen into part of what she said last night. first lady obama: when we open our hearts, we know that what is goingg on in this country is jut not right. if we want to survive, we have to find a way to live together and work together across our differences. if you take one thing from my

words tonight, it is this, if you think things cannot possibly get worse, trust me, they can and they will. if we don't make a change in this election. brent: she has gotten positive reviews across the board. she was reading from a teleprompter there. an incredible performance, compelling. what impact would you say her speech had last night? >> it is not to be underestimated, or impact. michelle obama is a big gun. here in the united states, not just the former first lady, she is somewhat of a cultural celebrity in the united states. she is really like from all sides and all parts of society here in the u.s.. there is always some that will

not like her at all but overall she is somewhat of a celebrity now. she did not hold back. you're right. she was absolutely intense. that was a speech where she was trying to stick it to the man. sticking at to donald trump and making sure that the democrats and everybody else listening understood there is only one chance to change things in this country. and to not want them getting any worse. that is go to the ballot boxes and vote for joe biden and against donald trump. yesterday's theme was -- that is proof in what we have heard from michelle obama, unity. unity of the party of the democrats and unity for this country. this is the counter concept to the division that democrats see in donald trump. brent: that was stephan with a wrap up of the first day of the democratic national convention.

the virtual national convention. thank you. berlin's renowned jewish museum is getting set for a big relaunch. this sunday, the museum and its director will open a new core exhibits and. the so-called -- core exhibition. it aims to give visitors a fresh take on the jewish experience here in germany while als addressing previous controversies. >> what is lifelike for jewish people in germany today? what challenges do they face and what makes them happy? berlin posta jewish museum has been thinking about this for the past 2.5 years and offers up some answers in a new exhibition. >> a collection has been created in which jewish people can recognize themselves in their living environment. it is also so non-jewish visitors can read and learned a lot about jewish and non-jewish

german relationships. a new start in the management of the museum. the new is a mesh in -- exhibition is being seen as a reaction to cultural changes. >> the audience has changed. there are less and less people that have experienced the second world war personally and many people came into germany that don't have a personal relationship to the history of the 20th century in germany. of course, many juice came to germany -- jewish came to germany. >> how has life changed in germany and where do problems still exist? a video installation encourages dialogue about the ever present search for identity. visitors can see destroyed synagogues restored to their former glory. those who see what has been lost

feel the loss,s, partiticularly. ththe museum has taken center stage in gerermany's s capital r 20 years. the spectacular zigzag building from above a broken star of david. inside, a disconcerting path through german jewish history. in 2018, the exhibits and welcome to jerusalem made headlines. many thought it w was t to ananti-zionist.. when it emerged that peter schaefer also s supported thehe palestine related organization, the scandal was perfect. schaefer resigned. they know except the challenge and is looking forward to stimulating debate. >> this is an interesting field of tension. it has to present the history and culture. on the other hand, it has to react to all the dynamic development in society and show

the jewish perspective on this. >> from sunday, the museum will finally be open to everyone again. brent: here is a reminder of the top story we are following for you this hour. molly and soldiers have arrested the president and prime minister in an apparent coup attempt. regional leaders have condemned the uprising. you are watching dw news from berlin. after a short break, i will be back to take you through the day. we will be right back.

over the years devoted not just you so the country couple devoted specifically to mali security services. cute training equipment education. and also maintaining close ties in a way that were meant. to professionalise the security questions. enter right n now the international he largely on can end. these activities but there's going to be a v very complicated q questionsns abobot what they can actually do and what steps we might be willing to take he tried her personal situation or potentially. punish. needs are. the militia leaders right gets. on it with very unclear novel what you know can do quickly you will to do. given the fragility of the future in my and in the region. okay political analysts had to leave the village thanks so much for joining us. thank we're going on to other world news a u. n. back court in the netherlands has handed down a mixed verdict in the two

thousand and five bombing that killed former lebanese prime minister rafiq career e. three hezbollah members were acquitted in a fourth found guilty for helping to plan the bombing that killed a retiree and twenty one others ellen gainsford has the story. it's been a long wait for justice. fifteen years on from the assassination of rafiq career e. the i internationonal tribunl set upp to try thehe casee has finally reached its verdict. but it wonon't pleasase many ofe former prime ministers suppororted as- three of the defendants have been acquitted or involvement in the attack. judges s said there isn't enough evidence to convict them. the trial chamber finds hussam. habib matt hi hussein hassan honesty i decide. hi son sabra not guilty of all counts charged in the amended consolidated dot indictment. a fourth man salim finance has

been found guilty as a co conspirator of five charges linked to the suicide truck bombing. i s. faces l life imprisonment if he's ever brought before the court. all four defendants have links to militant lebanese shiite islamist movement has bola its leader hassan nasrallah rejects the legitimacy of the court yes in the surveillance hurry son's side himself a former prime minister of lebanon has said he accepts the court's decision. the cold for hezbollah to assume r responsibility for masterminding the crime. an accusation the groupup denies. we're not in the best of mine is that i use. sure hey that affiliate how dna basin job i at the shore huddled high- not about heckman russia may- but not confuse it i did it. the judges said they found no evidence of the leadership of hezbollah or the syrian government played a part in the attack hurries died in a

devastating complimenting on february the fourteenth two thousand and five along with twenty one of this. is killing me change the face of lebanon but the question of who ordered his death r remains unknown sai. and for some analysis on this the food he is a politicaleph science professor and also a researcher at the carnegie foundation thanks so much for joining us lebanon is still of course reeling from that massive explosion. how closely is this case being followed by the lebanese public and hohow ae they reacting. to say the least itit's very closelyly followed y most of lebanese first of all because this assassination in tool five and this after marks. have largely organized- the cleavage of the political life since then and the two accounts that were. sometimeses he steal posesed since- namelely the como fates of martian to compost the

foururteenth of march at sececod the e contacts that you- just mentionedd is also something that adds interest for the lebanese. because a huge explosion. has struck beirut and shook it and thatt this was a reminder rules so off this explosion and two oh five. probably in very- stronger and. much strongeger. to so the verdict was much by the part of. in shock also verdict was a very much x. so in contempt the surprises not was not so why it was so big today- but not what is expectedd is the reaction of the stakeholders namely t the victims comp. side teddy and his followings and his followers and the accused's counsel namely hezbollah and- the marsh eight cop so i think that this is a tremendous event in lebanese political life. not so much in what it is going to

doing box and maybe in what is it that what it is opening. as a page a hat. temporary success real set this for of confrontation that followed can you jusust give us a bibit of context on that. sure suree very soon after the assassination on fourteenth of march. exactly one month after the assassination that took place on on fourteenth of february- the so called sovovereign this comp has started to ororganize whwhat youou called the march fourteen comomp. which was mainy an anti iranian anti syrian and hezbollah comp that close at dusk time very much supported by the west the u. s. frarance and some of those countries. and thihis succeeded or this gae officer in huge r rally in beirt in on march eight that was led by hezbollah and its allies. and that's organized see- the

resistance to the summer is a scam- take i mean attempt at taking over at this cleavage between the two camps has continued and thatt has prolongedd itstself for. almost fifteen years or a at least ten years- dc eventsts that you'ree talking aboutut poor follolowedy the war also to a six that israel waged against hezbollah. then you have. in those screen golf two or- is it an attempt at taking overr by hezbollah of the polilitical systemm and the cicity of b beirut. and then you hot the regal cinemas loooose in twenty eleven- and maybe the syrian one whehere hezbollah was an active fighter so- this cleavage and what was opened- squeak that open the cleavage and witith u us the nation offer take how do you need. is something that is almost structural today in the political life of the country soso this is s why the verdict tonight. is very important

because it concludes in stock they hold paid jobs very dense and conflictual historyry in the coununtry. b but it could also either open a newew o one allll school. charlie didn't answer or close. it and open a new based off. bebetween the s so fr control but for. this is largely the hands of the can. and ththe maiain. let's sasay ay call o of decision namely so how do you house muscle. okay joseph beau who'd so professor and re. at carnegie found thanks much for joining us. strikes and protest can in belarus has president alexander lukashenko's grip on power is looking increasingly shaky he'es been in power for twenty six years and recently secured victory in an election that many said was raped. the protests have stretched on for more than a week erin- okan kai has the story. it seems no
