>> in the latest move by military coup leaders, an announcement on state tv to suspend the constitution. >> the institutions are dissolved. >> the men who led the mutiny warned against foreign intervention. >> the action of the national council for the safeguarding of the country is motivated by the sole desire to preserve our beloved homeland. on the one hand in the face of the continuous deterioration of the security situation, and this without the authorities letting us glimpse of a real solution to the crisis. poor economic and social government. >> the general has overseen the presidential guards and influenced the military for years. while the army has declared him the new head of state, the ousted president mohammed bazoum is still being held.

the crew has triggered a wave of unrest in the capital with mixed opinions about what could follow. >> we can only call on god's help to bring peace so things can return to order so the country can do better. before we were really suffering. now the situation will completely change in niger. >> international condemnation is growing from world leaders including the u.n. and african union. >> friends condemns in the strongest possible terms this military coup against a courageous democratically elect good leader. >> we encourage all parties to engage in productive discourse. >> niger has seen several military coups and faced years of instability. it's been at the forefront against armed actors.

concerns are increasing about the wider security implications and whether unrest will spill beyond its borders. >> in st. petersburg, african leaders pushed for an end to the war in ukraine as a summit with vladimir putin drew to a close. he is studying the peace plan. they also discussed grain supplies to africa that have been disrupted by the war in russia pulling out of the deal. putin has offered free grain to six african nations, but the union says that is not enough. a professor of history and international relations at the united states international university in nairobi told me what russia and both african leaders stand to gain from the peace plan. >> it's an effort to broker peace and to be players in the international arena. to give russia the opportunity

to appear to be reasonable. if it considers and puts the onus on the others if it feels to respond in a positive way. so it's a way that the african team players, but also ease the tensions and the problems with getting resources that are needed. it's a political play at the global level. >> it seemed pretty clear from this meeting that one of the things african leaders were most keen to see was assurances that grain will continue to reach their countries to be able to feed their populations. russia recently pulled out of the black sea deal.

putin now promising african leaders to send its own grain for free to six countries. do you think that will be enough? >> it's a start, but it's not quite enough. it's promising to about six countries. the whole issue of food shortage in africa cannot be solved with one stroke like that. and the number of countries who would like to get a little more, they are not going to get all of it, but it's a start. it has also made putin look very good. as a person who is reasonable and is worried about the problems that other people have, in part because of his engagement in ukraine. >> does it seem reasonable if what putin is offering is not in fact what these african leaders

want if it's not enough and we know that he was the one who pulled russia out of this deal with ukraine to ensure they would get the grain they need? is there consensus among african leaders here? not everybody attended this meeting. >> not everybody attended the meeting. there is always reservations in some quarters. putin pulled out of the deal. for whatever reason that was. there was an effect across the board. so the africans saying do a little more than free grain to six countries. and the rest are left hanging in the air. so the question still comes up, what about the others. how do we ensure that the blockage in the biloxi does not become a permanent thing while actually what is needed is an opening for the supply of

whatever is needed. more dialogue, more discussions, more agreement on which way to go is needed. it makes russia look good. >> how likely do you think russia is to really entertain this piece deal? it's been brought before him weeks ago already and he said he would consider it. the fact that he would not come out to say he's taking it seriously and has agreed to it, does that tell you something? i wonder why african leaders would go to the summit if he was not going to agree. >> he has indicated that he will listen. it also depends on the ukrainian side but is also willing to consider the deal. it's a two-way traffic.

what russia has done is to say we will consider our part in that puts the onus on the ukrainian side to consider the proposal and if the sides consider the proposal, the african team will be making some headway. right now it's a one-sided thing. they need also to push the same proposal to the ukrainians. if the ukrainians agree, then they will be making some progress. >> i don't think the ukrainians would necessarily agree with that. thank you for taking the time to speak with us, professor of history and international relations. >> thank you. >> some other world news stories. russia says it has intercepted two ukrainian missiles and that at least a dozen people were injured by falling debris in the southern city. salvage crews have boarded a cargo ship that has been burning off the dutch coast for more

adidas says the proceeds will go to charities fighting disinformation. former u.s. president donald trump is facing new charges over mishandling of classified information after he left the white house. the indictment alleges trump asked a staffer to delete camera footage from his mar-a-lago state. it claims the request was an attempt to obstruct a federal investigation into his retention of classified documents. the trump camp has dismissed the allegations, saying the biden administration is trying to influence the presidential race. more on that from our correspondent joining us from washington, d.c. what are these new charges? could this mean prison time for donald trump? >> we are looking at three new charges, one related to the willful retention of defense information and two related to attempting to conceal, mutilate,

destroy or alter evidence or induce someone to do so. that brings the total number of charges up to 40. let us not forget that last month he was indicted on 37 charges related to this case. can he go to jail? these charges to carry jail time if he is convicted, but let's not forget this is donald trump we are talking about. even though everybody is supposed to be equal under the law, he is a former president, the person in his party with the clearest shot of becoming the presidential candidate. if he is elected president, it throws up all sorts of scenarios as to what could happen with this case. he could pardon himself. he could get the doj to drop the charges against him, in which case he doesn't go to jail. that said, this is uncharted territory for the country. there is no precedent that allows us to look back on what a former president/presumptive

presidential candidate becomes a convicted criminal and faces jail time. we just don't know. >> that's right, trump is the front runner for the republican nomination. do you think this is going to affect his campaign? >> he has already said that he would not stop his campaign, that there is nothing in the constitution that compels him to do so and on this count he is correct. he has decided to view his legal troubles as a feature of his campaign instead of potential stumbling blocks. he is saying he is being unfairly targeted by the biden administration in order to keep him from the presidency, and he has been using that narrative to fire up his base. it's not like being actively prosecuted presents zero problems for donald trump. he of course might be in the position of having to launch a campaign all across the country, go to different rallies while also having to make multiple courtroom appearances for many

cases. these aren't his only legal troubles. it's hard to say at this point how he will handle these complications because they will come up. >> two we have any idea what his defense might look like? >> he's going to say that he's protect it by the presidential records act. he's going to say that he is the object of a witchhunt, he is going to point to other figures who have had classified documents cases as well like hillary clinton joe biden. these are not similar in scale or their respective responses to these allegations. but he has so far been pleading not guilty. the trial date is set for 5/20/2024. we can already tell that between

now and then, so much may it happen still. >> thank you for the update. here in germany, the far-right alternative for deutschland, the afd, has been holding its annual party congress. the national anti-migrant party is experiencing a surge of support and public opinion polls despite being on partial surveillance by domestic intelligence agencies because some of its members are suspected of extremism. a recent poll but the afd at 22%. in regional elections this fall, the afd is projected to secure a record share of the vote. >> in this city, campaigning for the various state elections is heating up. the region is a stronghold for conservative parties but in

recent years, the far right afd has gained momentum. >> my personal opinion is that the afd is a last resort because none of the old parties are of any use to me. >> the afd is currently projected to take around 13% of the votes in this state, as in the rest of germany the issue of migration is the parties main draw. >> it's important that the people who have no business being here are removed and that the people who come in are educated and skilled. >> the bavarian afd party candidate is said to be one of the most extreme politicians and her party. she claims germany and europe are being overrun by migration. >> we will deport all foreigners who no longer have the right to be in the country, which means we will relieve our social system, our hospitals and of course there will be better

schooling for our children again because there simply wouldn't be so many foreign children in class who don't speak german. if necessary, we need to fortress germany and not just europe. >> it makes me very reflective because what we need right now is a sense of cooperation. >> the problem with the afd is it does exactly the opposite. it drives people apart. >> it's terrible that this party is getting so much support. they have no solutions at all. i find it quite appalling. >> some conservative party members in the region since -- think the rise of the far right is due to frustration with the national government led by democrats. >> i am convinced that voting for the afd is not the right signal to send to berlin.

it makes it even more difficult for conservatives to get majorities. >> the green party says the conservative party's style of communication is also partly to blame. >> i can see there is also a conflict within the conservative party. the people who say let's move further to the right and others. the afd becomes more acceptable because you adopt its narrative. so it's not a surprise that people say, it's just another normal party. >> two months before the elections in bavaria, the mainstream parties appear to be lacking a strategy for countering the far right afd. >> are political correspondent sent us this assessment of how the party is planning to capitalize on the surge in support. >> the afd party clearly wanted to present an image of strength and unity during its party

conference. some of the disunity that have plagued the party in the past didn't play a significant role when the party is more interested in highlighting its recent surge in the polls, when the party is discussing how it could go from being an opposition party to code governing and some of the region words most popular. the debate about the afd is not only one that is happening here inside this hall. outside, some protesters chanted slogans against the afd, a party they consider to be antidemocratic and racist. other parties are also discussing how to deal with the afd. so far all the parties representing the german parliament have vowed not to work with the afd. this is something that may be starting to change and initial voices saying it may be the

parties should decide on a case-by-case basis whether they should work with the afd, that it shouldn't be ignored completely at a time they represent the views of about 20% of german voters. >> england have made it two wins in a row in the women's world cup. the reigning champion's on the verge of qualifying for the knockout stage after beating denmark. >> england made two changes to the side that narrowly beat haiti and both had paid off. rachel daily came in at left and teed up lauren james for the opener. a beautiful shot in her first world cup start. the 21-year-old chelsea winner continued to impress in the second half with denmark rarely

threatening. england showed 20 of trickery but far too little end product. lucy bronze came closest to doubling the lead for the reigning european champions after a corner, charging into a header that went just wide. denmark stepped it up a notch and would have equalized. instead, it ended up another win which may not inspire confidence , but still pleased some of the younger fans. >> england also suffered some bad news as star midfielder carol walsh appeared to suffer a serious knee injury. >> of course i'm concerned because she couldn't walk off the pitch. but we don't know yet. so we can't take any assumptions until we really have a diagnosis and then we can tell you. >> england were prevented from ceiling a last 16 because china

beat haiti despite having a player sent off. john really was dismissed for this challenge after video review. china rallied despite the setback and netted a penalty on 74 minutes. it leaves the group wide open ahead of tuesday's final. argentina and south africa played out in entertaining draw. both sides had lost their opening games. south africa were on course for their world cup victory. sophia born came up with a stunning goal as argentina scored twice in the space of five minutes to seal the draw. the world cup has been the perfect opportunity for the nigerian diaspora in australia.

>> nigerian supporters in melbourne are savoring the women's world cup. and the chance it's given their community to reconnect. >> we don't usually have things like this where we are represented. we usually just support australia in different sports they do. kind of having it in such close proximity has definitely boosted a lot of people's feeling of connection to their roots. >> the fans at this restaurant have found a new source of shared pride. >> it's not about the women or the men, it's about the game. it's the passion. people just enjoy watching soccer. it doesn't matter who's playing, men or women. your team, you just support them. >> doesn't hurt that the team has been doing so well, but the

team's power extends far beyond the boundaries of the pitch. >> after watching this, i want my kids to play as well. it's definitely boosted the community and being able to show pride. even other people having stuff like this has connected us a lot more. >> with the team showing no signs of slowing down, there could be plenty more in store for nigerian fans at this world cup. >> the ukrainian fencer who refused to shake hands with her russian opponent has been promised a place at the paris 2024 olympics. she was disqualified at the fencing world championships for refusing to shake hands. the international olympic committee will allocate a place at the paris games in case she wouldn't have been able to qualify. the fencing federation has reinstated her.

finally, the flightless bird inspiring engineers. penguins are the bird world's fastest swimmers and now scientists in china have discovered how the animals are able to glide through the water seemingly without effort. the findings could help with the design of a new generation of underwater vehicles. >> penguins are usually admired for their monogamy or they are endearingly awkward gait on land. but in water, it's a different story. penguins can hit top speeds of 36 kilometers an hour, faster than any other swimming bird. as quick as some of the fastest foot bowlers can sprint. scientists in china. unlocking the secrets of how the birds do it could be useful. >> we have taken videos and pictures from real penguins. to build a mathematical article -- mathematic model from this

picture and use our code to start computer simulations. the way they use the water in the computer simulations will help us invent some vehicles. >> the scientists are trying to tap into millions of years of penguin evolution. the bird's wings have evolved into flippers which propel them through the water. their dense short feathers lock air between their skin and the water to minimize friction. like dolphins, penguins often swim underwater, come up for air and dive again. researchers discovered the birds optimize the angle of their wings to push themselves through the water. these wings will now be imitated in a robot.

the researchers want to use their new vehicle to check oil pipes for leaks and find rare species of underwater plans. something to get excited about. >> that's your news update at this hour. you can find more online at dw.com. stick around, i will be after the break to take you behind the headlines. i'm clare richardson. thanks for watching. ♪

that's why we have decided to intervene and take responsibility. >> the president, who has been detained in the presidential palace since wednesday, has not formally surrendered power. on thursday, hundreds of people gathered in front of the national assembly to show their support of the coup. some celebrated the ousting of the president, whom they considered too cozy with friends, the country's former colonial power. the coup plotters have since warned against intervention. >> despite the measures taken by the cnsp to ensure a rapid return to normalcy, certain formal dignitaries hold up in chancellery's have adopted a confrontational position towards

investments his country needs, and whom we support, as we did his predecessor from the outset. this coup is completely illegitimate and profoundly dangerous for nigerians, for niger, and for the whole region. >> renegade members of the president's guard have held him captive since wednesday. they have bowed to dislodge him -- they have vowed to dislodge him to they say restore order to the country. things took a bad turn on friday when they suspended the country's constitution. >> he seemed to be at his home and he seemed to be fine.

>> the ngo human rights watch said that the coup threatens human rights in niger, though the military said today it would respect the rights of citizens. instability could further complicate western efforts to help countries in the sahel combat jihadist insurgency that has spilled over from mali in the last decade. >> after army officials announced earlier this week i had overthrown the country's president, governments across the world condemned the coup. lasting change in the regime could be a blow to the west, which viewed the west african country one of the most valuable allies in the fight against insurgency. >> the forced removal of niger's president makes niger the fourth

country in the sigh held to experience a coup d'etat since 2020 after mali and burkina faso. up until now, niger, rich in natural resources but particularly uranium, has been an ally in the west's fight against islamist groups in africa with several countries maintaining a presence there. formal -- former colonial power france has had roots in west africa for a decade. their role is to provide support to niger's army when local forces identify operations in the insurgent border regions. it is estimated the united states has around 1100 troops in the country and its primary mission of training and supporting local nigerian forces, particularly special operations. the u.s. says it has spent

>> hello and thanks for joining us today on "encore." he grew up in chicago in one of the most dangerous housing projects in america. at five, he discovered he had a talent for drawing, and gang leaders would offer him protection in exchange for appearing in his comic books. now for decades on, he is a revered new york artist. his work has been shown all over the world from london to l.a. to 2-iron -- to turin. it is a pleasure to have you. thank you for being here. your works are beautiful, seductive, unsettling, and distinctly poignant. what is it like to bring them to an art capital like paris? >> i'm very excited about this. it is a thrill. it is fascinating because paris

is such a beautiful city. it is a great place. it is a phenomenal venue to be exhibited in, and i'm looking forward to the opening, and hopefully the show will be well received by the public, so i'm very excited. >> let's take a look at some of your work. the show is called the forging.

by that title? >> the show, it serves to visually paint a picture of a narrative that was fed to me to describe the circumstances surrounding the death of my mother. during this part of my life, this narrative and those years played a pivotal role in forging my identity and the lens through which i learned to see the world. that's why the show is called "the forging years." >> people don't need to know your story to appreciate your art, but it does add to the interest. you grew up as the youngest of five boys in a housing project in chicago. how did you discover you could draw? >> one day as a child, before i

could walk, i was drawing on the walls of the apartment in which we lived, and of course, my mother was going to spank me for doing such a thing, but my oldest brother, he stopped her. he says, hey, mom, take a look. look at his drawing. it is actually pretty good. my mother was also suddenly surprised, and i think they both came to the conclusion that perhaps i had a talent. from that point, my mother began to encourage me to draw on the walls in an effort to advocate for the further discovery of this talent that they thought i had. >> you went to a private boarding school, so you got away from the poverty and the danger of the projects, but it was still a traumatic time because during that time at the school, you lost your mom. >> he had. >> when you came home for thanksgiving, you found your father and your brothers had gone. >> that's right.

>> you were only 15. >> that's correct. >> what did you do? >> at that moment, i knew i could not stay in the apartment because i came home and my four older brothers and my dad were not there. i asked my next-door neighbor for information, of which she had none. in chicago and -- in new york, you have brownstones. in chicago, you have greystone's. in the grey stones, there is a door that is normally open after which there is a four-year area, quite small. i spent the night there. the apartment, i had surmised, had already become a place of drug transactions. it would have been quite dangerous for me to stay there. the following morning, i called my friend at the time, and i

told him about my circumstances, and his mother came to the rescue, and the rest of the story goes from there, so i was able to gain some kind of refuge in the transitional period. >> he went back to school, continue your education, graduated with honors. that is when you edit your mom's name, mary, to your own. why is that important? >> because my mother never had a formal education. my parents were both illiterate. they could not read or right. that stayed with me. education has always been very important to me. when i graduated from high school, i decided at that moment to use my mother's first name as my middle name, and nathaniel mary quinn will now be on the degree, so it will be as though my mother, too, has obtained

these different degrees from these different institutions. recently, i was conferred with an honorary doctorate from my college, wabash college, that says nathaniel mary quinn, so now my mother, too, has an honorary doctorate. >> you were making art and working as well as professor, tutor. human tort vulnerable young people. those early works are quite different to what we are seeing today. you focused on the politics of race in america. did you feel you had a certain sort of pressure as an artist of color in america? >> i think there was a part of me that felt maybe a certain sense of responsibility to make works of that subject matter, to explore those ideas, but during that same time in my life, i was still dealing with the sense of

separation and abandonment by my family. i was devastated, you know, emotionally speaking, and i went to therapy for five years. throughout therapy, that is when i began to embrace something a bit more complex about my humanity. i had come to find out that the color of your skin cannot protect you from the pain and anguish that would most certainly come upon you if you happen to be abandoned by your family at a young age. >> it was sort of a decade ago that your work became more personal. seeing the work described as a collage combination of francis bacon and police sketches.

how did your work become like this? >> i was tutoring this kid, and his mom was an art lover. i saw that she was an art collector, and she offered to do a show for me in her place. i said yes to it, and she wanted to support me, which is very beautiful. anyhow, i had, like, for works, and i wanted to make a fifth work, but i only had five hours. i decided to find ways to only focus on that which was necessary, so the focus on the eyes, the nose, the lips, things like that. through a process of using construction paper and hiding, when i removed the construction paper was this brand-new approach to making my work which

came to the style and work with now. >> tell me about "intruder." >> "intruder is an amalgamation of visions of the potential young men who have been my friends, somebody i knew, who played a role in entering the home of my apartment in pursuit of regaining payment for drugs that were sold on credit. >> lots of your work, people who come from that period of time in the past? >> my work is primarily fueled by vulnerability and empathy. i have a keen ability of detecting people's inner selves,

the very inner selves people often try to hide from the world. i have a real sense of being able to detect that in people. >> you have broken out to a massive audience. do you think that's why people can connect so well with it, because of the certain truths in the work? >> i think people are not as seamless of a foreign -- former identity as they would like to believe. most people don't have it all together. they just don't. there is a falsehood. i think there is great beauty in embracing everything about who you are. >> the fragments? collects all the fragments of who you are, everything, because you have to live with those fragments in your life. you cannot change the history that you endured. it is impossible. >> thank you so much for coming in. it has been a pleasure.

exhibition "the forging years" is going on until the end of july. we always end our show with our guest's cultural pick of the moment. what have you chosen for us? >> the tv epic series "love and death." it is a great show on hbo max. i think everyone should make some time to watch it. it is a great show. >> thank you for that. we will. thanks for watching. >> i didn't hear it. >> i think you did. >> you're wrong. >> a lot of people might be able to forgive murder. adultery, not so much. >> the jury needs to see you as human. >> but the truth has a way of coming out.
