this is the daily news live from berlin spain's prime minister gives catalonia

fighting the country's laws against so-called gay propaganda. i'm phil gayle welcome to the program the spanish government has given catalonia until monday to state clearly whether it has declared independence from the rest of spain earlier prime minister mariano rajoy told the national parliament that madrid could impose direct rule over catalonia if the region broke away he was sharply critical of the recent catalan independence referendum describing it as illegal and undemocratic and he rejected offers of international mediation prime minister told parliament that a resolution to the crisis lay with catalonia is regional president colors profitable in his man hands he has a possibility to return to the rule of law to legality and institutional normality

as everybody wishes or to continue this period of confusion and upheaval that is affecting catalonia in the rest of the country. this and the response of the government will depend on his steps. correspondents all over salad and martin robertson paslode madrid martin roberts in the madrid will start with here now there is an ultimatum which looks like a significant escalation from the spanish prime minister. well it's a first step and actually according to some reports putin months has in fact until the nineteenth is tomorrow because as well as the five days which will approach the freshly tomorrow and that's when the clock starts ticking the seventy two hours grace but even then the story doesn't necessarily end there because after that the government has to decide whether it wants to take up the case with the senate or not although it's often described as a nuclear option it's not a simple question so then next thursday yes decide what he wants to do and after

that he has to take it to the senate and again this you know this thing could play out for the rest of the month quite easily and what's behind this escalation. well hollywood say simply the rule of law i mean he's resigned but you know did you declare independence yesterday or did. it ever what what exactly is happening here . if you know you've done something that's tantamount in his words to tearing the constitution well then the constitution has gone on which provides for you know actual is it you know he said no but. so yes i mean that alone happened and that's as i said earlier that's that's the state on the other hand he has thrown as a carrot which is he saying that he's actually willing to hold talks on anything short of actual independence or holding a referendum all of a solace in the barcelona summer so where does this leave the cattle and the

leadership and in particular. will push them on is finding himself under increasing pressure you know from all sides really a whole is simply asks him right now what was it that you just said there yesterday what was it that you just declared and that is asked by many question by many people here on the streets of catalonia as well who do not understand if catalonia declared independence or if they are going to do so now a catalyst put them on the president of the region alone is getting pressure not only from the government in madrid who already said if you declared or it will be clear and confirm now within that deadline of five days independence of catalonia then he will trigger article one hundred fifty five and that means that khan is put him on will you lose his job as a president of catalonia and it would also mean the end of the government itself and the loss of the regional autonomy here in this in the state of catalonia and

he's also receiving pressure from his coalition partners the far left c u p party today also announced that if within one month's catalonia will not declare independence as a result of the referendum held last sunday then they would step down as well and then that would be an end to the government again so it looks like a one way road and many people are asking themselves right now if this is just a poker game and slowly realizing that he has he doesn't have the best set of fent cards in his hand amounts of rope a say in madrid what does if one of a whole is painting himself into a corner. well i mean no. amount as well as. the. point. of the constitution i mean it remains to be saying we're activating. forceable in which case he may be trying to insult.

but again as far as is concerned yes of course community your. previous broadcasts seems to be coming down sort of. situation. from our point of view he's got a watertight case on the other hand it's politically expedient. to be sent a letter over in madrid all of a solid had bosler thank you. so is there a legal framework for catalonia to break away from spain and are there any precedents. there are no laws in spain's constitution that allow a regional community like catalonia to secede there are global treaties that recognize people's right to self-determination but the united nations charter doesn't guarantee the right of secession such a ride only exists in exceptional cases by catalonia already has

a fair degree of rights to autonomy within spain and its relatively independent catalan is the official language in the region and cattle lands can have democratic participation in the rest of spain when cost of a declared independence from serbia in two thousand and eight it was seen as a test case of the right to secede but that happened to meet widespread repression and human rights violations catalonia is different and independent catalonia would face many hurdles being recognized. bonnie spain will definitely not recognize it and other european countries will have a hard time dealing with it and what if the federal state in germany like varia wanted to break away from the country in two thousand and sixteen a man wanted to force a referendum on but very an independence germany's constitutional court ruled that noise federal state could leave the german federation. well as you'd expect social media is full of spain's catalonia crisis on the question occupying the spanish

prime minister did carlos push double declare independence all notes social media reports that this show has been sifting through the twisties feel welcome liz what are you saying. well phil lots of you were asking the very same questions they're not very sure about what catalyst put them on just man to by the speech that he gave yesterday did he declare independence or did he not and even the people who want independence in catalonia they're not sure they're left confused by yesterday's speech let me just show you a crowd that was listening to that speech yesterday two different photos of that very same crowd so first put the one says they have a right to independence everybody is cheering of course they think that's the declaration of independence but then it goes on to say but let's suspend that's declaration of independence and of course that really crashed the people that were hoping for positive news in catalonia and what we're seeing right now on social

media lots of people are kind of having fun with this absurd situation that we're witnessing in spain right now here friends of the movie braveheart will recognize this face this is put them on his face morphed into that of mel gibson and here they put this quote for him saying they may take our lives but they'll never take our suspended declaration to parse you a dialogue and in fact feel we're seeing a number of movie references being made on twitter right now here these two pictures posted side by side this user writing on one lives in a world of fiction and fantasy the other is harry potter we also have artists who are trying to make sense of what is happening in the spain right now this is a cartoonist from austria here showing how determined them all was initially wanting to declare independence and right now he surprised everybody with the slightly changing his mind and as you mentioned he now has five days to really say

where he stands on this and what he wants for the region of catalonia our listener sites are much. well space guys learning crisis is also causing just as in the business world having gators is here to guide us through those just us thank you very much phil well we don't know what's going to happen in spain of course but we can have at least a glimpse of how investors think the situation is going to develop now a possible split as we know would mean trouble for the spanish economy and for the euro so in the last couple of days the main spanish index the effects tracked tensions over catalonians bid for independence but enter a horse seems to have helped calm the world of finance let's take a look the euro sustained gains of about zero point three percent throughout the day and as we can see here the events in the x. rose after the prime minister's speech and investors hate uncertainty as we know and today's figures show they are confident a solution to the crisis will soon be found. investors in the madrid stock

exchange were relieved and markets closed more than one percent higher following a speech by the spanish prime minister mariano rajoy who said he is not going to negotiate with separatists in a much awaited speech in parliament if there is not a separate system and have valid reasons to support it is not big they have the votes and the authority to govern the cause along region but they do not have the authority to declare independence. that's why traders in frankfurt say those reason for investors to be concerned. this condition it is certainly possible but the uncertainty will continue and if there is unrest in catalonia it will certainly impact yields on spanish bonds it will come under pressure because investors will sell them and look for safe havens the same thing applies to spanish equities. companies located in catalonia are

not taking any chances though businesses are coming up with contingency plans to leave the region. from spain to germany now where after the infamous diesel gate scandal to ruin the reputation of diesel motors car makers here are offering cash incentives for people to get rid of their diesel vehicles and buy cleaner new cars for less it sounds like a good idea there is also great for the environment but critics say we're forgetting something. another opal bites the dust. on average an opel is on the road for eighteen years before it scrapped other makes of cars even more robust. but car manufacturers in germany are offering cash incentives to people who want to scrap the old diesels and buy new cars that pollute less there are more than six million candidates for this special treatment.

economist henning vits has published a study on incentives to scrap old cars if we scrap cars it could run for quite a while longer and we invest so many resources in these products that it makes no sense to just throw them away. his institute has worked out the two thirds of the natural resources that go into an average compact car are used for its manufacture the remaining third mainly fuel is consumed while driving it. over its average lifespan that adds up to nearly thirty five tons of resources for a car that weighs just one and a half tons the largest single item is energy followed by metal. with people here are concerned about the level of pollution where they live the resources we used to make and run a car come from all over the world but that doesn't interest them so much nonetheless over the long term it's much more important to conserve those resources

. the auto industry rarely talks about all the resources it consumes germany's automotive industry association the vdare would rather point out how the latest models pollute the air less than older ones incentives to scrap old cars maybe good business for scrap merchants but decommissioning aging diesels before that time seems like a waste of precious and finite natural resources. back with more business news later on our spec to fill and a case that is keeping the german press busy i thank you very much i have a yes this is a case of tolu as she is a german journalist and her trial in turkey has been adjourned until december the court ruled that mr al-a tolu must remain in custody until the verdict is reached i she's been in turkish detention since april and is accused of involvement in terrorist propaganda prosecutors say she attended events organized by the extreme left part of the m.l.k. page which is designated as a terror group in turkey was told maintained her innocence and pleaded for her

release she is one of eleven german nationals currently being detained in turkey. ok let's take a look then at some other stories making of a new so-called islamic state has claimed responsibility for a suicide attack in the syrian capital damascus three bombs targeted the police headquarters are killing at least two people and wounding several more it's the second such attack on a damascus police station in recent weeks. u.s. bombers are flown over the korean peninsula in a show of force after months of escalating tensions centered on north korea's nuclear missile programs the u.s. also flew joint missions with japan and south korea over the sea of japan. this is d.w. news still to come i can use election rerun descends further into chaos callate

still go ahead now that the opposition leader rather a dentist has quit the race. to the united states no way canada is battling huge wildfires dry windy conditions are making life difficult for first responders a police officer shot this video of the situation confronting fire crews in the worst hit county sonoma fast moving fast have been sweeping through the state at least seventeen people are confirmed dead dozens more are missing more than two thousand homes and businesses have been destroyed. the wildfires ravaging northern california leaving a landscape of destruction in their wake hotels schools and some of the most prestigious wineries a napa valley and sonoma reduced to smoking ruins and for many returning residents all that's left of their homes is chad rubble or. to see what we've built and put into the place and now it's. reduced

reduced to what you see here we're here trying to find what we can so. our plan is to keep those things and when we rebuild. they'll be able meant. what we've lived through. flames were found across the arab landscape by powerful winds after breaking out on sunday seventeen separate wildfires blazed in california among the deadliest in the state's history. and the ferocity of the fire has forced thousands to flee. in one of the west affected towns santa rosa returning evacuees are finding entire districts razed to the ground. the lives of families and friends shouted. it was super cute little house she actually had a dance studio in the garage that she taught ballet and so that's garden and all we

used to do canning every summer and stuff and that's all gone and. and their whole their whole life you know their their whole life is gone. there is relief as they find their homes in tact. this leave my house. but others have been left with nothing but the fire still raging across california say the number of dead and injured can only increase. as go back now to the trial in turkey of a german journalist total data because phoned into dorian jones has been following the trial for us from istanbul welcome during the trial seem to be moving quickly first why is it now being a jet. well that is a surprise and a lot of people will be asking that question particularly as there was

a second day of hearings were due tomorrow the trial as you said did move very quickly even over eighteen defendant all the evidence was very quickly covered we had the closing arguments of the judges and the prosecutors and then the judge started giving us some ation and then announce that there will be no german this will direct a lot of people's homes fifty cli as michelle are told always one of the six that wasn't granted a pretrial release she's back in prison eight others were released this will certainly fuel suspicions and concerns at this trial with more political and being used as leverage against berlin rather than about any judicial process particularly as it appears to be very little evidence to support this terrorism propaganda charge or some foreign journalists have already been released and without trial since the coup attempts so how are farces deciding who gets released and who stays in jail well indeed you're right there's been a lot of questions over the opera treating this as as it is perceived all the turkish judicial system ever since the failed coup you have to realize that there

are thousands of judges and prosecutors that i've ever been arrested or purged in this ongoing crackdown that has cast a shadow over the independence of the judiciary to do sheree and your right to two french journalists have been released even though they were facing trial and allowed to return back to that country that is seen as a success by the intervention of the french president mark roth feaking to the turkish president nearly every ten days and is very much taking a softly softly approach in stark contrast of him which is taking a robust stance against turkey's crackdown on human rights and its many ways but in being seen as a center for opposition of turkish dissidents that has made it a target in many people's eyes and that's why a number of germans are still residing in jail many people feel they should have been released and yet turkey's government says it wants to repair relations with germany said much chance of that. well you know you're right i mean turkey's

government been talking about now a new chapter given the fact that they're prepared to write off the very tough rhetoric that's been coming from berlin during the journal actions now those elections are over a new government is in the offing they're saying let's have hope of a new relationship as it were but i think that is very optimistic given the fact that the two sides are very far apart. but it is very concerned about the ongoing crackdown as they see the human rights wears on her robustly defend it saying it's about defending democracy until those two views are reconciled in some way there's little hope of any reconciliation story in jones in istanbul thank you. harvey weinstein's wife georgina chapman has left him i sexual assault claims against a hollywood producer why didn't she describes his alleged actions as unforgivable more and more women are coming forward to level accusations against mr weinstein including several who say he raped them he denies the allegations. harvey

weinstein's alleged sexual misconduct has been an open secret in hollywood for years when stephen said to a representative that in his opinion all of the encounters had been consensual but more and more women are coming forward with her rowing stories of harassment he led me to this bathroom pleading that i just watch him masturbate. my heart was racing and i was very scared. i pulled my arm away finally and headed to the door he started following me and telling me that he could introduce me to bob weinstein and i could get a three picture deal and that he would green light my script but i had to watch the masturbations it's a scenario that repeats itself and many of the tales of abuse the new york times published an audio recording made by the new york police department where weinstein appears to confess to the sexual assault of an italian model now three actresses have accused the movie mogul of right hollywood a listers have come forward with

the stories of sexual harassment including angelina jolie who told the new york times she had a bad experience with weinstein in her youth and chose never to work with him again and to warn others when they did it. when it paltrow said weinstein had groped her as a twenty two year old and suggested they must she refused. the terrible it's awful and you know my heart goes out to experienced. went through that situation as me maybe i did it anyway and. the women who experience that have their voices. should lot of additional hearing the stories it's going to definitely make the next guy was an obvious position think twice about doing something like. hillary clinton said she was shocked and appalled by the revelations weinstein had been a big supporter of the democrats tonight in around one point five million dollars to the party over twenty five years. one student's wife has now announced she's leaving him and he's been fired by his arms two dear media reports say he's now

seeking professional help for sex addiction. police in the kenyan capital nairobi have fired tear gas and protester mounting electoral reform opposition supporters talk to the streets a day after their leader raila odinga withdrew from the rerun of the election slated for this with the sixth of october i think of his calling for the country's electoral commission to be reformed to avoid a repeat of voting irregularities cited in the first poll from the supreme court ordered to be of action criticizing those irregularities and mismanagement by election officials. correspondent catherine wonder who's in the kenyan capital nairobi welcome catherine the protesters are demanding changes to kenya's electoral commission are those changes likely to happen. it's really is a situation of who blinks first because the purse has to say that they'll take to

the streets this friday coming friday and next week every day next week until the election on the twenty sixth of october but when you look at it you see you can see that the electoral commission seems to have made some sort of leave way in terms of the demands being made by the opposition they have constituted a new team that will handle the election on the twenty sixth and they've also fired those who were accused lower level officials who are accused of electromotive practice and also retraining electoral officials so according to the electoral commission they are ready for the election but given that the protesters saying that until the eleven irreducible demands are met by the opposition the elections should not take place if they're to be free and credible. the national assembly today approved changes to the law that need to be approved by the president or her can you. tell us about these changes and the reaction

all these laws are being passed by the majority which is the ruling party the opposition is not taking part in the amendments of these laws now that this this particular amendment looks at amending seven particular electro laws and it includes also watering down the powers of the chief justice as well as the powers of the chairman of the electoral commission and it's quite controversial we talked to some kenyans and this is what they had to say about that particular issue. i would think. probably about.

it but i think it is time and. so briefly katherine october's election likely to be free and fair we don't know about free and fair but we do know that it will take place the electoral commission says that despite opposition leader raul odinga withdrawing his candidature yesterday it will take place whether it will be free and fair it's yet to be seen catherine and wander in nairobi thank you. it was indeed a new news a live from the mall of the day so world news and culture on the way.

spain's prime minister has given caravan leaders until monday to clarify whether they have declared independence in a speech to parliament somebody out of the hole who rejected mediation and crisis and demanded of return to what he called the fool of evil but it is threatening to suspend kathlyn use autonomy if it tries to break away. a vote counting has begun in liberia after an election to choose the country's next president a small west african nation went to the polls on tuesday the results could lead to libraries for the first democratic transfer of power there it is in seven decades when it will succeed president alan johnson sirleaf and a belt peace laureate says she was she has ruled the country for twelve years and voters chose from a field of twenty candidates on the frontrunners including the vice president joseph the lackey a former football star a georgian where well they don't need correspondent young for the shots joins us from the liberian capital. welcome young philip when can we expect

a result. well that were something like a sense that preliminary results what's been announced today but the sentiment of the election commission has made it clear that that's what we can't expect any results before tomorrow however i'll cross that out some first indications because in liberia each polling stations exploding station transfers the dates out to monrovia but at the same time each polling station also announces the results separately by putting it outside on the i was done and from that we can already see it's going to be a very tight race and some observers say that the two front runner. bloc i doing quite well so i think we can almost certainly expect that they would be a runoff in november i want to bring the issues dominating the campaign. well that mean several issues dominating the country and of course there is this ongoing

debate about how to prosecute would walk from the notes during the long civil war in liberia and a lot of candidates also focus on the terrible infrastructure of the horrible condition. of the road network but i think the biggest issue is the economy how to revive the economy and how to create new jobs because the unemployment rates especially among young people are as high as eighty five percent so ellen johnson sirleaf you talk about the economy that she was an economist she was from from the world bank of what sort of legacy does she leave behind. well first of all she and her it's a country after fourteen years of civil rights and she has been able to maintain peace and so today. when you ask on the streets a lot of them say they are disappointed. that the government should have done more especially when it comes to fighting corruption and fighting poverty but i think we

must also not forget that only two years ago liberia was its by that state's crisis that pushed the country almost to the brink of collapse so i think despite all those really very difficult challenges the president has done quite well in stabilizing the country and also regaining trust on an international level for that shell say in monrovia thank you know how here is that back with your business news thank you very much phil we've got some interesting news from africa you know few products are as personal as the ones that touch your skin that's why there is growing demand for personal care products that are produced whether ghana can greedy now the african countries are home to some of the most important components like sheba for example but while exporting the products is a given local beauty companies are now trying to conquer the domestic market. on

a sunday afternoon eastern uganda flora. so it's hard to write she not seeds. she is assured of income from by as more than three hundred and fifty kilometers away india capito kampala. it will. last. otherwise i wouldn't be able to buy clothes and books from our children pay their bills for the hospital. one of the shia not biases marks the instrument or. how to combine the liver processes sheer to make a variety of products like butter and oil. to ensure quality she personally follows the production chain throughout if we fail here we fail that site so this is our kitchen this is our baby this is this is this is what's still

this so everything has to be done right from the beginning from inception stage here and that moxie my exports at least a ton of sheer butter to the united states alone. how to shops in uganda's capital have also seen growth since she started in two thousand and fifteen the best she is in. is in uganda the best in that it has the highest component of healing properties the rest in the west africa is very hard and it's good for placement it's good for talking it's not necessarily good but was messy and pharmaceutical. so we have the best thing. moxy must say the growing awareness for healthy living is transforming the beauty and possible care industry this helps to expand the demand for natural organic products you're not so sure that the productive could be the only. issue. but if

it's a natural they need to know that you're using you need even from. things that have been. according to you room or neater the african beauty industry exist to meet it above ten billion u.s. dollars it is dominated by imported products from mainly europe and the u.s. . chinese products are providing alternatives especially for african law spending course schumer's looking for often cheap park and customized products however investors like mark sima wants to change the trend the already claiming a share of the market a product at a time. some corporate news now in shares of the japanese steel giant coby steel fell another twenty percent after executives apologized for the recent scandal involving the safety of its products but the problem can't be solved easily

like when you recall cars were faulty airbags the steel and copper delivered by colby is already in use and cars planes and high speed trains and the customers affected are now trying to see if their machines safety is compromised. the first conference started with the usual boeing off except q-tips admitting guilt and with an admission that shook up industry heavyweights all over asia there is a possibility that our firm's products could have problems over the safety or quality products in question was sold over the past eighteen months after workers altered data on material strength and other factors to falsely show their products to meet customer specifications now the japanese government is pressing for action . i want cobie steel to do its utmost to regain the trust of its customers and of society among those customers are car makers and the sons who borrow and honda

toyota has already confirmed that products with falsified data was used in some vehicles a central japan railway company has used some of the products in cars for the shinkansen bullet train mitsubishi and qatar saki have used coby steel products in fuselages for aircraft including some for boeing all companies say that so far the products have not post the safety risk but that they will be exchanged. in the ongoing conflict between north korea and the us we've all seen images of missile launches but until now nobody had panned the camera to see what's around the military bases well you'll be surprised to see beautiful landscapes as part of north korea's efforts to turn certain regions into tourism hotspots. a family vacation at the beach the bay of one sun in north korea is great for bathing if you can live with the occasional salvos of rockets and artillery. the otherwise

peaceful town kim jong un's summer residence is also the country's most important military staging area. from an outsider's view it seems rather unbalanced to launch missiles from a place being developed for tourism purposes but it's working for kim jong un's governing process. john young is spending billions to turn the bay into a tourist area and the one son special tourist zone foreign investors have already plowed around one and a half billion dollars into an area covering around four hundred square kilometers guests have to know what they can expect during the visit like when the country's military conduct swimming tests in the very day in front of their supreme leader one son for kim jong il and it's a location with family history his grandfather chemist's on the founder of the country also had a home here tourism and nuclear weapons

a combination no seen to symbolize kim jong un survival strategy north korea. economy structure cannot produce much hard currency but the reason even though the amount top hard currency he earns not so great but it is in north korea terms it is easy money. plans to expand are in place the first ski slopes in the mountains directly behind one sunday have already been completed to attract a wealthier clientele a golf course is slated to follow currently around five thousand tourists come here every year. so for would you consider north korea as your next holiday destination let me consider it i've considered it i have considered it the answer is no no there never enough of it thank you today is international coming out day by day to promote awareness of the rights of l g b t q people all this week did all these

exclusive reports that when examining what it's like to be gay in russia today we meet boris a gay rights activist campaigning to raise awareness of the widespread persecution of gay people in chechnya. only the oligarchs have it easy here in russia everyone else teaches journalists people with hiv have it tough but for. the next room with me as a gay man i feel social pressure each and every day homophobia has become trendy you can even own money with it make a name for yourself homophobes get invited on to prime time t.v. chat shows and make even more money.

from knocked up a flop of the current campaign of homophobia going back in two thousand and thirteen when the old banning so-called gay propaganda was passed people thought it wouldn't change much but now we are really feeling the impact you want to watch sodomites perverts. sags out of our city. you know if we can because we don't need immigrants and we don't need gays what we need is a healthy society the church common children those are the values we need. a lot of is here to distract people it's a colorful character he fits the bill it's about distracting people from the real social and economic problems that exist in the problems that really affect our future. he says gays are western agents to undermine russia's moral foundations

from the inside out. when the first report is about the persecution of gays in chechnya came in i reacted instantly petersburg there's a breach named after the president's father before i handcuffed myself to it. when use of the stunt spread of said i should scrub the bridge with detergent to get rid of what he called the contamination i'd left behind. the thing is that i actually am a child be positive of what but how could he have known. how did you know you

hear these are facts are facts. i mean. it was difficult to hear from him it's exactly the pressure i was talking about and you realize that the whole government machine is against you. you know how much you know more charts and if the book doesn't matter if it's putin who's in charge or someone else no one's ever going to get rid of the discriminatory laws we have. little the saying i like russia i don't want to go anywhere else i want to do everything i can to live a free lunch. well to football i'm qualifying for next year's world cup and there was a huge shock last night with the united states crashing out after

a two one defeat in trinidad and tobago the first time the us i have missed out since one thousand nine hundred eighty six and that means that part of come through to their first finals was better news for argentina they have reached next year's that world cup in russia thanks to larry elder massey who else you scored a hat trick in a three one win in ecuador has them out of the moment talking about argentina's success. we deserved to qualify before in previous matches both against venezuela and peru i think we deserved a little more we could have well knows games we fell into this mess ourselves we made things complicated and then to come here is not easy because that means coming to play at high altitude and we also started off going behind so quickly. chris hansen from not a w. sports is here to talk more about this penultimate burst of world cup qualifying welcome cress lenell messi does it again. yeah i mean that's what we've come to

know from leo messi he's a magical man and he pulled off the magic trick the also imagistic in the sport three goals and this is big because let's not forget messi retired from the argentina national team for about a week his countrymen back to back and he came back and they've always been the bridesmaid never the bride you know they were the runners up in twenty fourteen world cup and then in their south american competition copa america they've been runners up twice was good to see messi in argentina back in the world cup trying to change that become the ultimate winner on what went wrong with the united states. here united say stuff they are rebuilding but their head coach bruce arena calls this loss and the idea they're not in the world cup for over thirty years first time in over thirty years only a blemish you know but i think nerves caught them and they had a really slow walking death marks in this qualifying campaign their first two opening games they lost to mexico and then they lost to close to rica. it's against the wall they had to win eight games in a row and they just failed to do it huge huge upset because

a lot of money has been put in this basket in their investment fox sports a broadcast in the united states invested two hundred million dollars to broadcast three hundred fifty live hours of this event and i guess what no home team to cheer for so it's tough they are still rebuilding as an american i have a good word of palomar they've got interesting story yeah you know one team's defeat another team's st panama their first world cup in the country's history the president declared today being wednesday and national holiday means no work everyone's often enjoying bears in pubs and so forth it's nice because that's what the world cup is all about giving hope to the minnows but let's let's keep it real i think was the competition starts they'll be brought back down to reality so america's hopes are crushed let's look at european qualification the dutch out but france and portugal make it through yeah the netherlands tough break fried robin and company you know they had no euro two thousand and sixteen no world cup now and

this was a team the runners up in twenty ten third place in twenty fourteen but i'm robin did score a brace that's good for him netherlands are going to obviously have to rebuilt they're moving back out in terms of france i like france they are runners up in the european championships they have so many young fast players i think they're frightened to any defensive lines up against them i think they can run deep in this tournament because they were the runners up and then the winners of the european championship portugal i think you have to look at them they're led by christian over naldo he scores goals goals glor i think they are also a side that will threaten competition and switzerland cannot fail to mention switzerland they won nine out of ten matches unbelievable run in their group they share a group of portugal so that's also a team to look out for in europe a lot and all i'm getting ready for russian. presence and thank you so much ok. on the front of a book is all they can and every year it puts one country in the spotlight this year that country is france or the one hundred eighty french writers have come to
