i'm sarah hartman welcome to the show it's good to have you with us. a vote for independence fireworks currents has heightened tensions across the region baghdad has announced a raft of retaliatory measures neighboring are wrong and turkey which both have large kurdish minorities of their own are also applying pressure for the result to be overturned the most immediate effect that was going to be on flights in and out of iraqi kurdistan they're due to be suspended beginning on friday. uncertainty clouds the air for tourists and in both the capital of iraq's kurdistan region their plans may be cut short after the independence referendum iraq's government is cracking down all international flights coming in and out of the city will be halted at the end of the week the head of the airport says this closure will not just affect the kurdish people. we have

a beacon about off refugee that using the airport and we used to be a bridge between syria and you in toulouse since the humanitarian eight two of those places and we hosted coalition forces here so this is meant to be put everything. after voting for a session kurds in iraq could hardly contain themselves thousands flooded the streets in northern iraq to celebrate the referendum they had been pushing for for years we have been living under occupation and suffering for one hundred years but today we rejected that yes for independence and freedom for the kurdish people. iraqi kurdistan is already an autonomous region but the minority kurds want to break away to form an independent state that would include areas like the oil rich region near acute cook baghdad has called the vote unconstitutional iraq's prime minister has vowed to keep iraq from breaking apart. they took advantage of the

situation and expanded outside the constitution i don't want to say that we will use force but we will use understanding and constitutional means if they respond to this then that's fine and today i demand that they return all the areas they recaptured from the islamic state it's what parliament decided. the rocks neighbors have also rejected the referendums results the turkish president warned that the kurds responding an ethnic war in the region there's long ecstacy group has released an audio recording that it claims is from a backer all black daddy in it he says he'll continue to fight despite recent setbacks all baghdadi had been rumored to be the dad with his most recent recording released last year u.s. officials say they're working to verify the audio but that there's no reason to doubt it's also on to city. leaders of most of the news twenty eight states have

gathered in a stone here for a debate on the future of europe the dinner meeting comes two days after a major speech by french president manuel mock wrong and which a proposed a series of sweeping changes to the you the suggestions up for debate focused on closer cooperation within the block on issues like migration defense and investment for the dinner got underway macron and german chancellor angela merkel met for face to face talks here's the german chancellor making remarks before that meeting with natural. regarding the cost of proposals there's a high degree of agreement between germany and france of course you have to talk about the details. but i'm of a firm conviction that europe cannot simply stand still. europe needs to develop into the future. europe needs to develop into the future that's on the americal speaking let's go over to tallent where our correspondent max hoffman is following

that meeting for us next first let's get your impression of the chancellor's words europe cannot stand still what does she mean by that main goal here was to show unity with call the president of france at least not take the wind out of his sails she is obviously very happy about having him there is especially if you see the difference to his predecessor phosphor law and who didn't really formulate any visions for europe but at the same time she tried to say listen we need to talk about this because she said germany was going to make its own suggestion for example on the eurozone budget so yes unity but what a minute michael laid out there is not going to be the final result ok now across likely to use this meeting to try and sell his new vision for a post for exit how much support do you think he's going to get well generally speaking among the e.u. institutions and many other friendly countries the support is very broad and that's

because they've been waiting for a long time to have someone like that in france to have the german french and german back but of course not everybody is happy first of all we've been hearing from our sources in brussels that many think it's not very realistic many of the points that money michel has been proposing and then of course you have countries like poland and hungary who are allergic to losing any kind of sovereignty so they will probably be opposed as well but the main thing for getting things done in the european union is having germany and france agree on something and that seems to be more or less the case here more or less the case but of course america was about to start negotiating with your potential coalition partners some of whom don't agree with microphones vision for the future how difficult of a position is merkel and right now. well as long as she doesn't have a coalition she can't really take the broad decision so much is clear everybody in brussels also knows that and that's why they're getting antsy because there are a couple of informal summits coming up including one in december that's supposed to

discuss the future of the euro zone and among those the reforms that in one year in the call has been proposing but of course if there is no governing coalition in berlin it's going to be very hard no matter what the coalition you need germany the biggest economy in the european union in the euro zone to be on board to have its full force to have a functioning coalition in order to make things work and have reforms are those marks hoffman reporting us there for us from talent thank you very much one change that is coming soon to europe as britain's withdrawal from the bloc now both britain and the e.u. say they've had a constructive wake of market talks it was the fourth round of negotiations and losses for ins breck's secretary david davis was upbeat saying the team's had made decisive steps forward but his european counterparts michel barnier warned more progress is needed before the next phase of talks on trade and a transition period well germany's biggest football club bar in

munich says it's fire and star coach carlo on chalabi the fifty eight year old italian joined the bundesliga champions in two thousand and sixteen winning the title in his first year on chalabi is also a three time champions league winner and buyer wanted him to bring home our title as well but yesterday's humiliating three nil lost a priest and your mom in the champions league appears to have been a strong that broke the camel's back capping a string of lackluster performance. let's get in here now from the sports that have got cross harrington in a studio with me chris do you think it was that last a presenter mana did it i think that was strike three for call and now there were some few strikes that happen domestically earlier than that that when we look at p.s.g. first a three nil defeat the biggest defeat bart has ever suffered in the champions league in the last sixteen years ok domestically domestically yeah they come they're coming off of a draw it will spark in munich they had

a two nearly didn't have time that's very byron like and then match day three they lost the hoffenheim three strikes and you're out a club like byron specifically brought carl angelo to on board to win what pep guardiola cannot the champions league that's a server where that byron management want because one of the bonus thing is no big news neither is winning the german cup so much for byron so three strikes you're out those are the rules i'm sorry it's time seemed like an odd man out from the get go and fired what do you think is problem you know i think the players this weren't on the page that he was laying out for them to follow it's real simple and recently the president really has came out and said five players specifically were only other side of the fence in the locker room that causes issues live in dos he has spoken out about him in the past thomas moola he recent milestone amount of benchmark recently recently with over four hundred appearances different for byron munich he came out saying and he doesn't like him i robin was asked after the p.s.g. defeat does he trust his coach no comment which basically means no and then his

lineups he put in really questionable lineups against p.s.g. he didn't have seasoned veterans in the lineup i rob in robbery hummels nor tank i think these factors pretty much you know justified the rule in decision that well the decision by baron c.e.o. karl-heinz when they go to get rid of the coach because the players and as i said the president were on the same thing it sounds like there's a lot of drama in the locker room where you byron go from here well that's the big question everyone is asking in the butt is leaking now. their media future has. me really you know taking the reins he's the assistant coach there are rumors thomas to call the former brucia dortmund coach could possibly take over but i do think that byron management has their eyes set on the wonder kid you leonardo's man you leonardo's man is seemingly broken the bar code he's undefeated against byron this season he defeated by and so i do think the plans are that he will take over the reins possibly sooner rather than later he is

a german native and he seems to be the favorite i'm sure how do you see it is still warm he's only been out for a few hours will have to get by in a few days time to sort that out probably maybe you'll be back tomorrow to tell us what's going on the press arrington thanks for bringing us up to date you're watching it i mean is still to come on our program here half there is life and legacy of playboy founder has died at age ninety one so danny exploit or empower women our culture to ask will be exploring that make it true. all right daniel has more now on the stink from the admissions scandal that just won't go away will it has right sara folks one is starting to choke another diesel gate arrest an audi employee this time media reports here saying the suspect is a former member of the comic has bought a vote on how to who is also on the board of porsche it's the first senior level arrest over diesel test manipulation by german authorities parent company folks

martin has admitted the scandal will cost over twenty two billion dollars and the cost is not just monetary small like that brought about by diesel emissions causes over four hundred thousand early deaths a year according to official e.u. sources and that's just in europe in china and pollution is much worse no wonder they're betting their future on electro mobility except china is behind schedule the country is pushing back crucial econ sales targets by a year. china's cities are choking and smog protective masks do little to ward off the respiratory illnesses caused by heavily polluted air so far official measures to curb pollution have failed to make a difference that's why beijing wants to see fewer gas powered cars on the streets starting in twenty nineteen manufacturers have to make sure a full ten percent of all cars they sell in china are so-called new energy vehicles

electric plug ins in hybrids one year later the quarter goes up to twelve percent. the quotas apply to all brands that produce more than thirty thousand vehicles if manufacturers missed the targets they may have to pay hefty fines the ruling is likely to benefit chinese carmakers like b. y. d. the company is the world's largest manufacturer of electric automobiles but the quotas could pose a major challenge to foreign manufacturers. germany sells over eight million cars in china but only a fraction of them are electric that's why german companies along with the german government have been pressing beijing to delay the introduction of quotas german car makers are hoping they'll have boosted a car production by the time the ruling takes effect in twenty nineteen first they plan to bring out hybrid versions of large size as u.v.'s by twenty twenty they

hope to be selling hundreds of thousands of electric cars every year now they don't call him to resign maybe for nothing so far the british prime minister has held her cards close to her chest but there's one subject where government is unequivocal britain will need open free trade postdocs it even if that means stepping up to allies including the united states. britain would like to remain a global champion of free trade even after they leave the e.u. that's why british prime minister to resign may is warning about the growing protectionism in the world economy we need to ensure all country our economy is working for everyone but we also need to show why free trying to so important in raising living standards in developing the price of economists and bringing prosperity into all countries and i think that is a discussion we now need to have because we do see other means of protectionism

creeping in around the world one example punitive tariffs washington wants to impose on canadian aircraft builder bombard. us rival boeing accuses the canadian company of gaining an unfair competitive advantage by receiving subsidies from the canadian government the british are also affected by the conflict the fuselage and wings for the sea series are being built here in belfast thousands of jobs are now in danger to resell may is trying to put pressure on the u.s. government not to slap tariffs on bombard again but a badly needed post brigs a trade deal with america could make that a tall order. and sophie szymanski is on wall street for a sophie the trade dispute between bomb body and boeing is still in the air one of the two companies had to say. well boeing is acting quite confident they drop the polite but firm reminder to theresa may that boeing employs sixteen

thousand five hundred people in case the pike chain and last week just broke ground on a new facility and sheffield for now the american company seems to be winning the legal arguments what with all the important people the u.s. department of commerce the u.s. international trade commission and ultimately the world trade organization so no wonder it is feeling confident one by yes of course disagrees strongly facing that the u.s. government should reject boeing attempt because it would unfairly tilt the playing field in its favor so this dispute rippling across the atlantic now u.s. corporations have had twenty four hours to digest trump's tax plans what do they think. well then you of course they like the idea of cutting the car protective specially in the retail sector by the way because retailers are hoping to benefit in two different ways they would have to pay less taxes on the revenue and at the

same time benefit from the higher income of american consumers thanks to the tax cuts for the american people as well but they also know how hard the negotiations around this reform are going to be i suppose they are watching the newton closer than ever and it is crucial that from work something out for them because the promise to reform the tax system is the main reason why they voted for him in the first place corporations are watching that closely it seems so fishman's key on wall street thank you very much. china has told north korean companies operating within its borders that they must leave by january the move is part of the latest round of un sanctions against the north for its nuclear and missile programs china's commerce ministry made the announcement on thursday it also defended china's recent imports of north korean coal which are banned under the un agreements by claiming they fell within a grace period for the sanctions implementation.

now insurance companies might soon have to offer special coverage for donkey damage in germany the owner of the sports car the sports car here his shiny mclaren he parked it near a donkey's field there you can see the car now the animal that was grazing there decided to take a bite out of the car but leave it on not to police believe the donkey had mistaken the expensive race car for a giant carrot damage the paint a german court has now ordered the donkey owner to only five thousand eight hundred you. yes i'm probably thinking the same thing you are but the donkey wasn't available for comment apparently no i don't even know what to say to that apparently it's what you get if you buy a hideous aren't sports car or you think you have to get red but it's a really ugly red car i don't know that's what you get from bad taste all right

speaking of taste the founder of playboy magazine hugh hefner has passed away at the age of ninety one has found fame when he launched his adult magazine in one thousand nine hundred eighty three in what was then a deeply conservative america but critics accuse the multimillionaire of degrading and objectifying women. flowers and a string of well wishes for the bunny king outside the famous playboy mansion in los angeles. it was here that hugh hefner ran his media and entertainment empire usually clad in his trademark so pajamas. it takes a special event to get me. to get out of my programmers. put on a pair of pants. with a cafferty crafted mix of nude photos highbrow articles and big name fiction have struck a chord with playboy more than sixty years ago the men's magazine quickly became

a roaring success half not his girly bag and his lifestyle was symbols of the sexual revolution and shook out puritanical american values but he really brought the pop culture to life you know during a time when he was very conservative and this was something that kind of went against the grain but he did it in a very tasteful way and you know and he's just created so many great things as a result of the doing now and really bringing pop culture as well whole new level others condemn taffeta for degrading women treating them as objects of male fantasy just as many were fighting for basic rights and equal opportunities the internet age so playboy circulation plummets but by then have turned his bunnies had already transformed popular culture. so much to say we had to bring in two guests to say it all about scott roxboro the culture correspondent and journalist also a smart thanks both of you for coming in scott let's start with you some people

have said she would have to her is progressive he opened up the sexual revolution do you think that's fair i think it's fair to say that he actually opened it up i mean one nine hundred fifty s. america at that time you weren't allowed to say someone was pregnant on television hafner came into that into that world credibly conservative credibly christian morality dominated society and he really shook things up and was incredibly progressive in his attitude towards sexuality but very brilliant a lot of other things i mean he was his show he had a late night show that was the first one to be integrated to have black guests song which was completely against the grain in the mayor at that time and he was very aggressive on a very progressive in a lot of. social issues supported. birth control he supported on the cases that led to roe versus wade allowed portion rights in the united states i guess the argument be if you still now two thousand and seventeen could be seen as progressive maybe not i think it's progressive years probably thirty to forty years behind him but

you shouldn't take that away from him the man did have a huge impact and i think in a lot of ways a very positive impact on america in those periods fifty sixty seventy it's a tough task staying relevant for sixty years we're talking about ninety one year old man in his pajamas does he still have an impact also is he still relevant to young people today well from asking around in the news room i would think not very much and toward the americans know who he is tend to say that old sleaze bag for many others they don't really know who he is and i would argue against scott i think scott american is an american canadian company and you know i mean please no . north america. in pop culture which has brainwashed us into thinking that this kind of beauty is what we should aspire to and instead of embracing a wide diversity of different shapes and sizes and ages and looks and skin color

and it's a more modern idea of playboy definitely had if i can say it like kind of an eighty's standard where it's very or see even earlier in this local look at that came later up it started the fifty's sixty's and so i hear that ascetic was that around before it's like oh man i think you can argue that and i mean i think that definitely are going to make that effort a very. narrow limited view of what sexy was probably his own personal preferences that tended to be blond tend to be very big breasts and so forth and so on and kind of anonymous you know the other it was a sorority not yesterday or had to be the. stuff of the case and i think that's where you can make but of course he was producing a product and selling it you know i did incredibly complete source. oh by yeah and you can you could make the argument i mean there was this probably don't remember it but there was another publication launch of the seventy's playgirl as a response to playboy that will give some will give women naked men to look at and so forth commercially never very successful but it. wasn't didn't work in the marketplace to say dress these men up with a like maybe like a bull instead of

a bunny and put some horns on their heads and codpiece and maybe said no no no no no no matter what i'm a girl afficionado i don't use that as it reduces women this this play play go funny image regina says i'm going to answer your question you're saying it reduces women who have not called himself a feminist waze that's also good for us and them all. i think this is an attempt to whitewash it's like oil companies who say they're environmentally sound when they're pumping all kinds of c o two greenhouse gases into the air i think it's no wanted to be successful this was part of his image i think he did a great disservice to women and i think if you know or around the world today the western world women trapped rather than liberation by having to fit a certain pattern what beauty is and i think has contributed to that says a firm no from dulce this guy i mean it depends what you consider a feminist i think definite by today's standards in no way by the standards of one

nine hundred fifty s. america i think you could consider him a progressive voice a leader and i agree with his image of women is very restrictive and was very strict of i don't want to give him all the blame for what's happened in the objectification of women in our culture look at the fashion industry look at the cosmetics industry internet or other you know you know even just stuff that's directed only at women but not trying to sell them in the way it's perhaps for you right in all the way i think only definitely growing up and no doubt about that but so did every single cosmetics company in on the planet ok briefly we have to leave this feminism debate i think we each got our points and he's going to be buried next. marilyn monroe what is that that's that's a very interesting story actually i mean he got his start with his first issue of playboy he bought naked pictures of marilyn monroe at the time wasn't very well known i guess eight hundred nine hundred fifty two fifty three he bought the book the pictures he put on the cover it was her first our cover that often really

contribute to a start up it built his empire up helped build her up and yet now he'll be doing next tour the muscly of next door sort of for eternity and they both in a way were you know mirror images of one another but it's kind of sweet or maybe creepy i don't think i'll say what you think i think you'll get a lot of visit to describe him probably i probably wouldn't have come there any day but i think i'm safe to say yeah i'll be like the people who read this magazine we'll have to leave it there guys thanks so much for bringing us both sides of the story quick reminder of our top stories this hour on a number of airlines have announced they're suspending flights to iraq semi autonomous kurdish region after the government threatened to close down the airport by friday that's in response to this week's non-binding referendum in which kurds backed independence. you're watching news live from berlin and more to come stay with us.
