music and a dose of pure catch it is of course the at your grow vision song contest it is this weekend and by golly i'm good at youth culture that will be here with all the favorites in. the order. i'm sorry kelly welcome to the program they so much for joining us. iran's foreign ministry is condemning israel's attack on iranian targets inside of syria the first official reaction to the attack came from the ministry spokesman who called them a blatant violation of the country's sovereignty that were conducted on fabricated and baseless excuses for israel struck dozens of iranian targets inside of syria in retaliation for a rocket barrage on israeli positions in the golan heights now israel's government

is blaming iranian forces inside syria and has accused tehran of crossing a red line there have been growing international calls from both within and without this region for restraint. on its way to destroy and a defense system this slowed down fifty each readies by israel's defense force shows one of the strikes on a rainy and military summit in syria israel's prime minister gave the justification . look over iran has crossed a red line our response was appropriate our army has carried out a large scale attack on iran even targets in syria. we are engaged in a long term conflict and our policy is clear we will not allow iran to establish a military presence in syria. israel says it strikes me in retaliation for a rocket attack on territory it occupies in the golan heights according to israel

iranian militants fired the rockets from syria but none of them reach their target if so this would be the most serious direct military confrontation between israel and iran and syria. europe russia the u.s. and the u.n. a calling for restraint. there's a risk of escalation and growing tensions we must avoid them that's what i told the reigning president rouhani and i'll pass on that message to prime minister netanyahu and president putin who in a statement in recent days seems to share the goal of stability and avoiding escalation studied. tensions remain high on the golan heights the israeli army has sent reinforcements to its northern border. and i'm joined now by mayor javedanfar an iranian born middle east commentator based in israel he is also a lecture on iranian politics for a private not for profit research college called the interdisciplinary center thank

you so much for joining us and i'd like to just begin by asking you israel saying that it was retaliating following an iranian attack saying that iran is to blame for the escalation of violence here but is the golan heights incident really the start of all of us. no it's not you know where iran since it started helping bashar al assad when he needs to war in two thousand and eleven as try to turn syria into a base for the transfer of weapons to hezbollah and also that and then moved on to building a base for itself to threaten the state of israel i mean quoting two former reports of more than one hundred is ready to strike against missile transfers from syria to to lebanon which was initiated by iran. have been also numerous israeli attacks against iranian targets according to far reports this is all part of the israeli

strategy israel tried for many years to put in to try to get iran. to reduce tensions not to use syrian territory to threaten it's to threaten security didn't work so now there's a new strategy in israel in the past thirty nine years israel has been treating iranian proxies as the proxies is ballers been treated it has ball up but now israel has a new strategy has which is an iranian proxy from now on will be treated as an iranian entity and the same party runyan presence in the area ok so there is no hiding behind the curtain now of proxies in your view do you also think that perhaps the strategy though has changed in the past weeks in particular because i mean we've seen an uptick in the violence have we entered a more dangerous phase in this conflict. i think we've reached a stage where even president putin has given up on the iranians that he's given israel a more free hand i mean today the russians just announced that they will would not

be supplying a three hundred anti-missile system to the syrians this could have created headaches for israel's air force over syria they're not going to do it i think for now after the after the consolation of the iran deal which actually thing was the wrong decision but in any case israel now knows that every weapon convoy iranian weapon convoy that it destroys in syria will become more costly for you ron to replace because of the upcoming sanctions and also when it comes to destroying iran and infrastructure is there israel knows that every strike today will mean that it's a version that mistake you made in two thousand and six when it allows hizbullah to build up an arsenal it also means that it will be more difficult for iran to replenish them they will be more expensive because the iranian economy is about to hit a very important crisis brought about which is going to be brought about by the sanctions i'd like to end by saying that this is not the there are elements in iran who would like to reduce tensions that include the iranian government but the iranian regime is not listening to them and the announce u.s.

withdrawal to the iran t l as that also change the calculus on the of iranian side would you say. yes well not we don't seemingly what he would have to there are you know it's that iran has already played by mismanagement by deep corruption and now the americans are basically going for the throat of the iranian banking system they're going to make it extremely difficult for you and your banking system to function sooner or later and this is why that and one of the reasons why is that you know the port of the one chose to be closed iran is going to have to some recalculation about the amount of support gives the bashar assad because the costs the cost of going to go up or the regime when it will be in syria because it's farms are going to start to dwindle because of the sanctions we want to thank you very much mayor javedanfar an iranian board middle east commentator joining us with the analysis of this situation we very much appreciate it. and with the world

watching nervously as tensions soar between iran and israel germany's chancellor angela merkel has addressed the iran nuclear deal speaking earlier on friday the chancellor suggested that the united states is unilateral withdrawal from the deal undermined confidence in the global order but she added that america's withdrawal was not a reason to call into question the entire transatlantic partnership the multitude of the field i agree that there are a lot of other worrying issues to talk about when it comes to iran to fight with israel the ballistic missile program iran's role in syria well correct thought simply over however i think it is not correct to pull out of a deal that has been agreed on that has been voted for unanimously in the u.n. security council. violates the trust and the international order. of the german chancellor speaking a short while ago meantime in other news it will be the first ever meeting of

a sitting u.s. president and the north korean leader president donald trump announced in a tweet that he will meet with north korea's kim jong un in singapore on june the twelfth singapore is in the rare position of having diplomatic relations with both washington and pyongyang plus a track record of hosting sensitive encounters. the banner headline in singapore's newspapers the city state will host one of the highest stakes summits in decades that's certainly pleased locals really gives something up on some. common and promising to other countries to see us as a peacemaker. i mean definitely be sure because we made it in the dishes from both sides so i mean to have being. good it shows you the u.s. and china. when you i mean you know but it is not going to go to mexico. indeed the city state is safe turf for both donald trump and kim jong un for the first ever

meeting of a sitting u.s. president and a north korean leader singapore is a strong u.s. ally and its ties to china north korea's greatest supporter i mean kim can feel at home as well. you want this comes after years of threats from north korea has. and in recent months harsh rhetoric from the u.s. president as well. with five years of fury now president trump is raising the stakes counter to usual diplomatic practice with extravagant promises of success we're going to set the record and make a breakthrough here for the world of europe for south korea japan or china. and he already has something to show for his engagement with north korea this week on yang released three hostages to return to the u.s. with great fanfare. for kim jong un an agreement with the u.s. holds the promise of relieving choking sanctions which could lead to economic

growth he said he wants to concentrate on modernizing the hermit nation. but analysts say the singapore talks won't be easy a host of issues must be sorted out not least the thorny task of persuading kim to abandon nuclear weapons and both sides want to come out looking strong and he has andrea hang who is based in singapore elaborated a little earlier on why the city state has been chosen to host the summit. well there are a multitude of reasons some work and more contentious and others the start of singapore's goes very high on the neutral neutrality scale with little or no historical political baggage security means that a lot of media coverage will be restricted is and no protests of course not to mention no experience in running such high profile summits perhaps the most amusing yet also plausible reason that's been reported is that kim's plane is not able to

travel well that in one thousand one hundred kilometers making singapore an ideal spot for him to travel to without refueling another important reason of course is that singapore will be seen as an acceptable choice by a very keen and interested audience member and that's china and that was andrea hang and singapore now let's get a check of some other stories making news around the world seven people have been found dead on a remote farm in western australia and what could be the country's worst mass shooting in decades police were calling the property or rather were called to the property outside perth where they found the bodies of four children and three adults they are treating the answer then as a murder suicide the philippines top court has voted to oust its chief justice. lloris serrano has been a fierce opponent of the country's controversial president barbie go to terror take her colleagues have removed her for not properly declaring past earnings she told

supporters outside of the court that she lost her job for opposing to terror taste authoritarian rule. and authorities in indonesia have ordered evacuations after the country's most active volcano erupted mt merapi lies on the densely populated java island its beauty ash more than five kilometers into the air forcing the closure of the nearby airport and it has that airport rather has since reopened. you're watching news still to come on the program emotions will be running high at both the top and the bottom of the table as the ball in this league enters its final weekend we will get the lowdown on what to expect from saturday's action. which. did it comes. out. and a me too message from an israeli saying girl with her happy vibes song all

we have here also a story is most extravagant gown changing in time with the music what's going to win this year's euro vision song contest could it be one of these performers stick around for a preview our culture editor has all of the favorites it's really always entertaining isn't it danielle you know i'm actually big eurovision frenzy all those lost over a third of its value against the dollar since december to iran is also grappling with high unemployment among recent university graduates thirty six percent of men can't find work and that number is a staggering fifty percent of women. and that's not the only challenge iran is facing a lack of private investment in part to a banking sector that can barely afford to issue loans to wrong as investing less than three percent of its g.d.p. and maintaining its aging infrastructure which further business development. but companies worldwide could lose out as the u.s. re imposes sanctions just take european aircraft manufacturers would face losing

thirty eight billion dollars worth of deals. thanks to the euro nuclear agreement airbus was able to secure a deal for one hundred aircraft with iran however at least ten percent of the components for its planes come from u.s. producers and this detail is likely to pull the plug on the sale. of anything that has any us content and i mean dealings with us and then gets we exported to iran is going to come under scrutiny and i think that we need to be looked at very very carefully. competitor boeing which struck a deal for eighty planes with iran is also likely to be forced to cancel their contract along with various other aircraft producers among the companies french producer to tar looked sad to cash in together with a chinese business it struck a fall billion euros deal to tap the south parcel field firearm now it seems

unlikely that the country will be able to continue all its has in many markets. where the oil station is going to be a very significant one i mean what the markets have already. found is that you know yes there's going to be some tension and prices have risen little bit before the announcement was expected have come down a little bit since. international comic is also had high hopes p.s.a. peugeot citroen was planning to build a plant in iran and renault hope to produce one hundred fifty thousand cars for the country. fox long was also planning to enter the market. you know all those companies and iran itself are seeing their plans move further out of free choice due to one country's determination to strike a better deal. the question is can live in help those german companies

avoid potential u.s. sanctions difficult says our financial correspondent daniel corp yeah that's a thing they cannot even really do a lot besides giving advisors providing legal help just this morning again the u.s. ambassador with very strong words towards german companies saying that they need to pull out we have to remember that germany is about three billion worth of deals with iran but more than one hundred billion every year with the united states almost like they will reconsider and then i eventually pull out of iran the new pope in frankfurt for us more than sixty thousand passengers may be left stranded next week if brussels airlines pilots walk out as planned the belgian carrier has scheduled only eighty flights on monday and wednesday that's just one seventh of regular departures only serving routes within europe the pilots' union is calling for wage increases and an end to uncertainty about working conditions lufthansa

acquired brussels airlines a year ago and the union wants the german flag carrier to provide clarity about its future. this week marks one year since france elected emon well micro-loan as president since then he's wasted little time following through his campaign promises of economic and fiscal reforms the result unemployment figures of dropped slightly and the economy is taking off so his first year in office has been a success right well it depends on who you ask. for a few months louis god has felt like he can breathe again he can finally hire people when he needs to meet short term production goals without risking bankruptcy or the volumes that a small electromechanical company fluctuate constantly. yeah. severance pay settlements are now camps. before you didn't know what you might have to pay out. in a dispute you could very easily end up around the one hundred thousand euro mark. a

make or break for my business. now we're able to take the risk and we've just employed someone. severance pay reform and others such as the lowering of taxes on capital has given employers faith in the government. giving us hope and not just because of his reforms the business climate is simply better. for the first time our country has someone in power who is on the side of business. to. trade unionists are critical of mccollum's reforms they say he's rapidly demolishing the country social safety net. we hear these policies are socially unjust and benefit only the richest in the country for example has raised taxes on retirees and lowered capital tax that's a step back to the nineteenth century is curtailing workers' rights and opening the

door for employers to negotiate directly with the workers. and the unions won't let that happen without a fight but the business community says the reforms have not gone far enough. you can't ask a small business to step itself like a big company following thousands of regulations which stem from who knows where. there has to be legislation adapted to small business to lower operating costs are going to be internationally competitive and france has a massive trade deficit. so far france's young president has not been fazed by his critics for the most difficult reforms the public's. there's and pensions haven't even begun yet. wall street titan j.p. morgan chase has become the latest firm to apply for a controlling stake in chinese securities venture this comes just a month after beijing put new rules in place to open up the economy previously

foreign ownership of local financial companies was not allowed that hampered growth if approved morgan will own fifty one percent of the new venture swiss u.b.s. and japan's new more have already applied and the new rules which china announced soon after u.s. president donald trump visited china. more business later on but sports now and the end of germany's footballing season. we are talking of course about the bun this think it comes to a close this weekend as we heard but not before a final match day which said see plenty of drama at the table setting it all out for us is nick mechanically joining us from our sports desk so what can we look forward to this weekend when you look forward to this was a decided decisions to be made of course israel gave decision who's going down freiburg ball spoken hamburgers the three teams will be shaking in their boots nights ahead of tomorrow's games you have the five european qualification who is

going to be playing in the prime tournament next season of course six weeks after winning the title by munich finally get to lift the trophy of that we've got that a lot more detail in this report. another year another title for boy and they'll be more pictures like this at the end of the current bundesliga season only with a few different faces on show aspirants celebrate their sixth title in a row in the battle for the remaining champions league spot in hindsight on dortmund. leverkusen unlike sega still in with a shout dortmund are looking to redeem themselves after a turbulent season. of course i'm confident that we can go there and get a point or a win it's an exciting game as hoffenheim also need to take risks. go crazy go. down the bottom they have other concerns survival by any means the target freiburg and fifteenth spot need only a point to guarantee safety. but if them it's a tense battle between wolfsburg and hamburg the wolves have nosedived in recent

weeks but a point against last place cologne will give them a chance to save themselves for the relegation play off as we know it's in our own hands this saturday so we don't need to worry about what the other teams are doing miss me is the. second last hamburg need a miracle i went home to glad back is the minimum requirement but the belief among supporters is back. and see fast as you can see that the team's achievements over the last few weeks have got the funds back behind us the team and the funds are united as i hope present here. by and will be aiming to finish the league season strongly in preparation for next week's german cup final the showpiece will be coach your pint is his final match in charge. of the beer. you know we have here three teams fighting it out for the last two champions a qualification i mean somebody is not going to make it to the and indeed take it

as well as was mentioned report leverkusen lives they have an outside chance but the two teams i think are going to qualify are actually dortmund hoffenheim they played so that's more but hoffenheim actually need to win in order to be assured of that champions league place dortmund they've got slightly easier draw be enough for them the thing is that if they draw we'll see this in the table level couzin would then leapfrog them provided there's a six goal turn around that means you'll see on the goal difference is this six goals difference between dortmund leverkusen in third and fourth let's say hoffenheim win by three leverkusen win by three because they would have the better record against all dortmund would drop out but i don't see that happening i thought as they think that. table look very similar this time tomorrow the door open door and hoffenheim in for leipzig who down in fifth i think that this very very unlikely there would be for all three teams who is in danger of relegation you got three teams in that four hundred freiburg well spoken hamburg hamburg they the results to go their way will see that the bottom table in the second because freiburg on thirty three points of both spoke on thirty points and hamburg on twenty eight and hamburg needed those three points and had to be assured of the

relegation playoff spot freiburg on the other hand only need a draw in order to be safe the same goes for vols but who would then be as well in the relegation play as well as they were last year they played against their rivals bronchial i can say definitely there are very there are so many scenarios and say you know every time there's a goal scored teams will move so that's why this last game of the season is so exciting for fans to watch but yes the hamburg they need that win and they need results to go their way if they want to stay in the league which they never really gave for beforehand so we'll see how they do now we have to turn to a bit of a particular story i mean this is this is a team here they're in the running for the promotion in the bundesliga host and kill and they have an issue with their stadium hosting he was a tiny tiny club from the german state just as the host on they were promoted from the third division to the second division last season they have special dispensation to play in a slightly smaller smaller stadium there's twelve thousand fans in that stadium but they don't need more it's they don't need a huge stadium but the d.f.l. as of the company who are in charge of the league they want host i healed to have

a capacity of fifteen thousand of which eight thousand places need to be seats seats for fastest and but they can't do that over some of the problem is that if say well you can't do that over the summer if you are promoted to the first division you have to play somewhere else which essentially forces them to pay thirty four away games in a season which isn't really fair for such a small club they have appealed they could possibly still be allowed to provide of course they get promoted would be allowed to play that subdivision but it be very very sad if you don't watch that movie field of dreams you know build it and they will come they clearly have not prepared actually for being so sick i felt them absolutely because i have a dream nic we kind of climb from gate up the sports desk thank you. if you're watching news still to come on the program soon to be pardoned by the king malaysian opposition leader anwar ibrahim is on the verge of being released from detention spent years serving a sentence for sodomy on charges that his supporters say were politically motivated

and on line. welcome back here with news i'm sorry kelly in our land our top stories world leaders have called for restraint in the middle east or foreign ministry has condemned israel's attack on iranian targets inside of syria israel's government has accused tehran of crossing the line. and german chancellor angela merkel warns that the u.s. withdrawal from the iran deal undermines confidence in the global order but says that it is too soon to write off the transatlantic alliance. jelled malaysian opposition leader anwar ibrahim is to be granted a full royal pardon allowing him to leave prison in the coming days and paving the way for a political comeback the new prime minister to hear mohamed says that he will hand power to either him in a few years' time now this is the latest move in a stunning week of political developments for malaysia which had been governed by

the same party for decades. historic moment for malaysia's opposition the swearing in of a new government leader anwar ibrahim had to watch it from his hospital room he's serving a sentence for sodomy charges that his supporters say are politically motivated. a crowd of his supporters outside with signs reading let's all save malaysia and anwar has returned. and his wife as easily one is male discussed a pardon with the king and then he actually expressed that he splits no wish. to to be unlike the soonest possible that the pardons ilsley sophie forged in for him to be able to participate in fact it was. it comes after former prime minister mahathir mohamad triumphed as head of the opposition against. the berri sun national coalition the alliance has ruled malaysia for decades and mahathir himself

was prime minister for twenty years at the party's head. now in a remarkable turnaround anwar is set to become prime minister mahathir says he'll turn over power once and more is pardoned that can't happen soon enough for and more supporters who described his joy at the events that evening that mean. business reopen it with the full ovals that he has you know in the book that the people move one way that what the old malaysians as a whole. thinking about sixty years. about it's a national government and all it's all over well because he was very happy that now the world awaits anwar is release from a jail cell to the heights of power. and for more let's bring in southeast asia correspondent dan heartache who has the very latest for us from the region so tell us it because it looks here like anwar might be pardoned very soon how fast could he become malaysia's prime minister after that.

well sarah his wife said that he could be freed from prison within two or three days and the newly elected prime minister mahathir mohammed said that he then can vary for him then can immediately take up his role in politics again now that doesn't mean that he'll immediately become prime minister because first of all he has to become a member a regular member of parliament which means which means that there have to be a by election now when he has a seat in parliament then we'll have to wait and see what role he's going to play in the new cabinet if he's going to be appointed as one of the ministers and then march to mohammed said that maybe in two or three years time he will step down and make way for him to assume that that office of prime minister so we'll have to type for a little longer sara and one of the things that is so interesting about this case in particular is that anwar is already there most of his sentence right i mean in fact he he would have been freed in less than

a month anyway so why is the king pardoning him now. to terror he was already three years into his five year prison sentence and for good conduct because a good conduct prison sentence would have been slashed and he could he would have been freed in june now the difference is that if he had been freed and there's a convicted felon and this is because he served out his time he would have been banned from politics for five more years now with the royal pardon that ban is off and then he can as newly elected prime minister mahathir said today he then can immediately reengage in the political landscape of malaysia. if he takes over how are malaysians likely to react because i mean it's been quite a dramatic he weeks on the political scene. well his supporters and we heard some in the report there definitely. going to be happy

because they've been waiting for decades for anwar ibrahim to actually become prime minister and the main reason why he couldn't do that and why he was deprived of that office that he deserved as his supporters the it was of course his former nemesis. the now newly elected prime minister mahathir mohamad who has now joined one right now joined forces with to win these elections and now having said that not everyone in unwise opposition movement is happy about it unholy alliance if you will because many in the opposition of course suffered under two years rule of twenty two years to them who was known for relentlessly cracking down on his critics and you can see that in evil him now nonetheless he is now the newly elected prime minister of malaysia and he has a lot on his plate because he has to fulfill the election promises mainly. fighting corruption which is endemic in malaysia lowering the cost of living establishing

some sort of health care scheme or social safety net so there's a lot to do for the new government even before anwar ibrahim becomes eventually maybe the next prime minister of malaysia he that is fast and heartache thank you. india is about to see a major regional election and the southern state of karnataka where the ruling congress party is facing a strong challenge from prime minister narendra modi's hindu nationalist party the b j p but away from the political action there are major concerns about parties trying to buy voters with cash and commodities is an all too common problem in indian elections and g.w. correspondents saw you fall in the car and ashish malhotra and they went to that region's capital bangalore to find out more. about. brady is campaigning hard in southern bangalore. they were part of. the independent candidate is running in state elections on just one issue keeping up politics. it's

a message his supporters have been relentlessly pushing out in the streets for months. completely connecting with voters during the campaign stop ready is a software engineer turned social activist. he's known for fighting against corruption in government offices. the centerpiece of his bid is the one vote one no scheme which urges average people to fund his campaign ready says it can raise accountability in elections often tainted by allegations of bribery and voter manipulation. is in missouri right now because of bad politics bad electoral bad practices spend money. make more money that is the motto as of now so what we're telling people citizens now the people are powers and rights you are. don't give up don't give these talks and that's when the present but this campaign is in stark

contrast to the widespread practice of malta by indian elections reports say authorities and could not have already seized huge amounts of cash alcohol salaries even pressure cookers aimed to sway voters to support certain candidates. most of the handouts adult out in low income neighborhoods. this woman said a major political party came with clothing penned by the word the party's representatives came and gave all the women they were distributed by local leader we all know very well election times they'll come down as there's a moment of money to the peoples for the meetings and canvassing but bus. it's an issue that election officials are all too familiar with son is in charge of guaranteeing free and fair elections in karnataka. and raising awareness that offering money for votes is illegal he says his officials have already confiscated

more than four hundred sixty million rupees on the early six million euros in cash meant to bribe voters that's four times more than in the previous election at present throughout the state we have guard more than two thousand five hundred various types of enforcement playing squads and check those who are checking all types of movement of people and goods. election officials are working closely with the police looking for any suspicious goods that could be used to voters. it's a waiting game and they finally seem to have found something a cycle of salaries no one here is authorized to speak on camera. but officials say there are no bills for the salaries that's what raised the alarm here. back at robby krishna readies campaign. the anticorruption crusader and his supporters a well aware they face huge challenges in reaching that goal it's. but they remain

hopeful. if people reject money politics cast politics dynastic politics definitely. was. already faces an uphill battle however. old habits die hard. especially in neighborhoods election season freebies seem more likely if life. well rights groups including amnesty international are condemning a death sentence handed to a nineteen year old sudanese woman on thursday the woman nora was convicted of stabbing her husband to death as she alleges or as he rather allegedly raped her she says that she was forced to marry him at the age of sixteen against her will nora supporters and others following the case gathered outside of the courtroom in sudan inside a judge announced the death penalty for nora after her former husband's family refused to pardon her and rejected financial compensation. her legal team now has

about two weeks to appeal the ruling the hash tag justice for nora has been trending online with activists demanding that the charges against her be dropped for more let's bring in elizabeth show who is standing by on our social media desk for more so walk us through elizabeth what activists are saying about this case online. well their activists find it unacceptable that the woman that they view as the victim in this case has been sentenced to death then and this is also the discussion that we're seeing a right now online people talking about the fact that lawyers say that she was married off by her parents when she was sixteen years old she then managed to escape she fled to a relative she came back three years later and that is when her husband really got hold of her together with relatives who pinned her down then raped her and he tried to do it again on another day and that is when he stabbed her when she stabbed him

to death so disturbing details that we're getting from that case so lots of discussion within sudan and also outside people online discussing that this is a woman who attended the ruling of a hearing there yesterday in court she says i was never sadder and more shaken then when i saw on where today she walked in with said he feeds and the head held high she is a hero a survivor and a voice that dared refuse oppression in a society created to oppress he's using the hashtag there justice for noor and this is really sara become the rallying cry for people who want sentence to be revoked it is not only people inside sudan but actually people across the world who are joining this campaign and they're hoping that they will also get support from international bodies like the e.u. and the un so what goes through what exactly they are hoping to achieve though realistically speaking. now first of all they want to draw attention to this case

not just nor as case but also to the larger problem of marital rape and also child marriages and so that the girls can be married off when they reach the age of ten so that is really a big problem and then we're seeing organizations like one rights group called equality now they say that they want to put pressure on sudan's president omar al bashir they want to write a letter to him and this is what they say in a statement on their right to noora is a victim not a criminal and should be treated as such in many countries of victims like muro would be provided services to ensure that they overcome the trauma their experiences other activists have created a petition online on change dot org they want to be executive for murdering her rapist as you see there more than one hundred thousand people have already signed it observes say that the chances of her legal team really succeeding

when they appeal in the coming weeks are relatively slim because the laws in sudan are based on the islamic sharia law which is very strict so they don't know what the chances of success will be there in the very earliest bring some attention to the issue elizabeth show our social media best thank you so much for walking us through this issue we appreciate it. well now setting a light on dangerous trade practices between spain and its neighbor morocco daniel what's the story there that's right is a fairly unreported story in fact sara the deaths of two women who were crushed in a stampede to the border crossing as highlighted the darker side of morocco's trade relationship with spain most americas imports come by way of spain some make the thirty kilometer crossing from the spanish port alga sirus to the spanish enclave of saint are on morocco's northern coast afterwards transported through customs into morocco some importers take advantage of

a loophole to avoid paying those customs duties namely by having the goods carried literally and its morocco's most vulnerable women who pay the price. every pace is a struggle hand to hand battle with burdens weighing up to one hundred kilos these moroccan women work as mules moving merchandise across the border from the spanish enclave of seawater into morocco. all this to get fifteen euros per trip the taxi to the border cost four euros before we even start how are we supposed to eat. legal commerce across the border between spain and morocco or tax evasion goods carried across the border on foot don't attract import duties depending on what they carry these women earn between ten and twenty five euros a load. the trade as well organized by wholesalers who make

a generous margin. for general medical gain a bit annoyed that the moroccan state gives nothing to women what do you want that they go into prostitution no they come here they transport a packet and then they can feed their children i don't have all that out as you have a mother and her blind daughter it's handicapped women the elderly single mothers or widows morocco's most vulnerable women who do this heavy work. a few weeks ago two women were killed in a stampede crushed by the weight of the bundles now spanish authorities have imposed stricter regulations on the trade they've demanded that the women use trolleys many say that this has only made the job harder. but these women count themselves lucky to have been able to get over the spanish authorities only allow four thousand porters per day to cross some will have to

sleep rough on the spanish side of the border. some will resort to desperate measures to cross undetected with their cargo. also that a few moroccan businessmen can avoid paying import duties. as economy is still struggling so much so the country was forced earlier this week to push up its interest rate to a massive forty percent present very severe machree is now trying to negotiate a loan from the international monetary fund but many argentines worry that this could make matters was. the bad weather wasn't enough to stop thousands storming through the streets of one osiris. you know i was up at a meet do they call. me well chris will not allow congress to accept intervention from the international monetary fund.

when we reject president mcqueen's labor reform but when they. say we're. not the workers remember. we know that policies like this lead us to hell and we won't allow it yet know somebody beat the hell was the catastrophic financial crisis at the turn of the millennium when all savings accounts were frozen the i.m.f. later admitted it made mistakes lending argentina too much money with too little oversight. the president in two thousand and four nestore was celebrated for repaying argentina's i.m.f. that set once and now while protests rage on and by not firing argentina's treasury minister is in washington negotiating credit from the i.m.f. . and so you the demonstrations continue. we've lived through this already we don't want to go back to the i.m.f.

. eighty percent about juneteenth who is opposed to the president's policies so that's why we are protesting. with the pace a plunging to new lows many fair assistance from the i.m.f. could just make a bad situation was. i don't know what i'm going to be doing this weekend it's time to put on your spandex and fly off laggards eurovision time. as you just heard ted you mentioned there it is your own vision weekend for the first time the favorite song contest goes to part of i don't know carrot if you have your stab axe ready have a little early does. this have a finals have been happening all this week in lisbon with twenty six countries making the cut there are now gearing up for the grand finale on saturday night it's of course that annual extravaganza especially here in europe but you know it's been it's been spreading out who are the acts to watch this year ok so it's a pretty strong crop this year with that usual ultra broad spectrum of pop so we're

talking everything from pop opera to fold pop all the way to dance and usually a little bit of token metal but this is also the pinnacle of kitsch as we've surmised and there's always a generous dose of schmaltz in there spectacular visuals you can usually count on from lifting gizmos a whole bunch of pyrotechnics let's have a quick look at this year's four runners front runners before we go on. eurovision it is as much about the spectacle was the song and as far as that goes the studios. will be hard to beat the trained opera singer will be wearing a giant down decorated by three hundred sixty elaborate projections that move and change along with the music. but your official is also sometimes used for political or social messages and this year france is in the running with a song about the refugee crisis the duo madame this year are singing mercy which

was inspired by the true story of a little girl born on a rescue ship in the mediterranean. one of the hot tips to win is israel's not to who's also chosen to address the current topic with her song talk. show. the song has a strong message of me too and i thought about something. funky that can sound. like a cycle of. of abuse it's like ouch like. like the fans now who laugh and then it goes over and over and over again and strike a very happy vibe song back to it has a strong message with between the lines so you know the story of a message of a different kind as offered by the two thousand and nine winner norway's alexandre every book he's back this year with the song explaining just how to write

a song. is playing. with you. so you. can get it. but the current favorite among the bookmakers is cyprus represented by any flare up with the song for a go no political message just a classic sexy dance track. was. the competition is also known for surprise upsets though and with people from so many different countries voting it can be difficult to predict who will come out the winner on saturday night. all very sexy indeed you know it's very true that the local tastes as was mentioned there can play a huge role in how things are going to go on saturday night and speaking of local tastes it's interesting that the chinese network would have the rights to to broadcast the euro vision in china actually censored two of the acts of last

night's semifinal so they cut it so heavily tattooed musicians from albania could see here. made it through and they also could have the entry from ireland. because it contains a romantic dance sequence between them by two men but they also blurred out a bunch of rainbow flags in the audience china most of them same sex relationships and any gay themed content from t.v. and online streaming platforms in the e.u. . e.b.u. somebody has cut off their feet to take a stand against the censorship saying it's not in line with the values of the universe and celebrating diversity through music quite the statement the right is to get more and full or you leave it you know this is always a really impressive competition it's really long we also have to chase it all night . you know for people from from other regions of the world of america and yeah that's right you know your vision is an institution in europe you can't see it any

other way and for the onion uninitiated of course it can seem pretty over the top but people in europe also have your official parties as you know coming from a long tradition of shall song and consoling and. i must admit when i went to my first year mission party in germany it with so it was quite a shock but specially that some of the tongue in cheek numbers from germany over the years you know you have it takes a while to get used to that but it can be lots of fun a lot of languages there care of global citizen here and we're noticing that the rules are always changing and this year australia is in the final how does that link that's right you know and israel in azerbaijan and everybody wonders the aussies have been watching the euro vision for years and they were given a kind of a one off free invite in twenty fifteen which has turned out to be a permanent invite and here they are again. essentially it's the european broadcasting union that runs the show so any country that is a member of the e.u. is going to be able to send an act so how could you not like australia also it's also you know it's always in flux and i mean there has been really some standard

acts over the years you can just talk about how it's been such a springboard for so many epic music careers and like for instance we just music group one nine hundred seventy four with their smash hit water new the rest of course is history and many people have forgotten that the canadian singer scene actually kick started her career at eurovision back in the eighty's representing switzerland and becoming a megastar directly after that dannatt international. your visions of oceans are coming here and. donna international there she is that from israel that was your visions first ever trends where twenty years ago when that really cemented the events reputation as a celebratory space for the community really interesting stuff and of course a lot of those names i'm sure all most of our viewers recognize. really exciting stuff coming up your vision song contest now we know way too much like sax i want to wear because we're happy that you're up to date and you to be honest i'm sorry
