a personal issue together with his friends an average to vist a ninety year old student organized this event meant to address school shootings but also gun violence in communities of color. supports me because last year i lost a friend to gun violence and i felt you know. when i was in a moment i felt like some people are really needed to be a power be when you hear about this. country or us became active in the wake of the school shooting in car club florida earlier this year since then more and more students in the u.s. have begun to raise their voices for gun control students like jordan in twenty twelve she survived the shooting at sandy hook elementary school in newtown connecticut. i witnessed one violence does not just one singular person but for the entire community in the nation and if there's any chance that what we're

doing like protesting in marching will save one kid i'll do it. they believe now it's the time to ban assault weapons to strengthen background checks for gun buyers enough is enough is their slogan orange is the color. so far you as lawmakers refused to take meaningful action on the federal level but activists like ramon contreras say this is just the beginning of. this students about to continue their protests and to make their fight for gun control a voting issue hoping that the midterm elections in november will show that their movement has staying power. the u.s. is facing widespread criticism for imposing steel and aluminum tariffs on some of its closest allies including canada and the european union critics say the move which was announced this week undermined trade and weaken confidence in the global economy american officials faced the backlash at

a gathering of foreign ministers finance ministers rather from some of the world's largest economies the g seven meeting in canada that didn't end on a positive note u.s. treasury secretary steven miniature was of course part of the g seven family photo but he found himself very isolated at the same time he was heavily criticized for his country's new steel and alum union judi's. that the united states of america have imposed on the european union are not acceptable and everyone familiar with the globally developed rules and regulations governing international trade agrees that they are incompatible and illegal when there's a and that's why they must come to an end but everyone was very clear on this and i think that message was also understood. and it wasn't just tough talk coming from the other g seven nations along with the e.u. kind of a has now also filed a challenge at the world trade organization kind of there are also announced

counter tariffs on other things including yogurt coffee and washing machines. we've taken a targeted and considered approach to retaliation our goal is to convince united states to move back from these tariffs which we don't think are going to help either of our economies and what you can actually hurt citizens in the united states citizens in canada. it was fairly clear that all of the nations at the meeting were moving to the beat of the same drone about one. times been tense and tough just set them. and i would say to has been far more g six bruce one. just one but the embattled u.s. treasury secretary appeared undeterred by the other nations complaints over the threats of her tell a story tariffs again our objective is to make sure we have fair and balanced trade

and that's really what we're focused on so i look forward to following up on these discussions minute she says he's already informed his boss president donald trump of the criticism. and now some of the other stories making news around the world police in mali have used tear gas to break up a band opposition rally in the country's capital bamma called a coalition of political parties and their supporters were hoping to march through the city to call for transparency and next month's presidential election several people were taken to hospital as a result of the violence. thousands of jordanians have joined another day of protest against new austerity measures including price hikes and planned tax increases riot police scuffled with demonstrators outside the prime minister's office as people demanded his resignation the government has refused to scrap a reform bill backed by the international monetary fund. a cargo ship battling

youth wing's congress he said that historians have placed too much emphasis on the twelve years of hitler's rule. yes we recognize our responsibility for the twelve years but dear friends hitler and the nazis are just a bird dropping in over a thousand years of successful german history. of reactions from within german politics have been scathing last cling bile general secretary of the social democratic party took to twitter to say alexander garland statements have revealed what lies behind the f.t. s. facade this is a terrifying minimization of the nazi era it's shameful that people like him are in the german bundestag. the conservative side of german politics also reacted critically and it did come out on our of i'm going to miracles christian democrats tweeted fifty million war victims the holocaust and the total war just bird poop

a look at some some highlights now. kempson men will neuer was made to wait to get back in the german goal bad weather delayed the kickoff for nearly two hours delayed start did nothing to dull germany's alertness missed it is it pounced on a mistake from austria as keeper and put the world champs one nil. later in the first half it was neuer who was put to the test his own casual ball came back at him. and later florian brill it peppered his goal but not by a keeper was up to the test. after the break germany's play began to drop a long corner found its way to much in him directly apply an emphatic volley to finish all alone at the far post neuer didn't have a chance it would get worse for the visitors i was on your show scored to make it two one to austria who hadn't beaten germany in more than thirty years. and those

now have some decisions to make not least regarding manuel neuer. markt first a heavy downpour than australia rained all over germany sprayed what went wrong for the german side but it was the perfect storm for austria wasn't really abby i mean they had the delay before the game is never nice for the visiting team to be sitting in the changing room with the hail and the rain poured in then i say with the funds ban for their blood oh say so that was a there was also a very experimental line up from germany i mean the likes of you who to go to nicholas. and even newspapers you freiburg started up from it's not even certain that he'll be on the plane to go to the world cup so it was a second string unfairly a very motivated opponent in austria and they were desperate for their first win over germany since one thousand nine hundred six and they got it they got it and manual noir was in the lineup his first game back since breaking has fought how to be fair he was germany's best player i mean he's an incredible guy really i mean he's not been there for been in the team or played football at all for bias and

says in september brooke is meant to tussle as. only game before this was a warm up against germany under twenty seven and he was he was basically what stood between germany and a heavier defeat against those trips to shame from a country touched even from barcelona he would have thought i could be going to this world cup is germany's number one noise such a force of nature it's going to be so hard to dislodge him now all of this is happening on the eve of the world cup has this game cast any doubt on any player or solidified any player's position for live i would think neuer apart from that i think what it's done for love has probably made him realize how thin germany squad is last year when they won the confederations cup and russia as the warm up tournament for the world cup with basically a second string sides people were saying or germany have got two sides that are good enough to win the world cup i think last night's game probably dispel the myth and you have to go with tried and tested people twenty cool was sure but saying these people will be back and for the world cup mark oregon from d.w.

sports thank you for analysis thank you now it's not often that poetry causes a public debate but a poem written by an acclaimed bolivian swiss writer has done just that students and berlin had called for one of his pieces painted on the side of their school to be removed calling it sexist but the author's adopted hometown in southern germany sees the work differently and offer the poem a new home and it now adorn a public building in bavaria. i've been in this has a new home the poem by again going on now decker it's the facade of the city museum in the german town of radio where the ninety three year old poet lives you could say the poem moved in from berlin forced off its perch on the outside of a high school after students complained that it was sexist and massaging mystic there accusation focused on one line in particular of the neatest you flotus you know head is you're not made out or born english avenues and flowers and women and

then admirers the students feel that the poem reduces women to objects on a list of things men like to look at the high school has promised to paint over the words. y'all. yes it bothered me a bit but you know at my age you tend to take such things with a grain of salt there's really nothing new under the sun life. tayo city council rallied to defend the poem for them it has nothing to do with massage. because we believe that women here are confident enough to like being at my side we simply can't relate to the debate going on in their lives and. the tensions over public art are bound to continue but for now the poem has at least found a wall to welcome it. don't forget you can always get the w. news on the go just down water out from google play or from the apple store that will give you access to all the latest news from around the world as well as push
