it comes as the world cup fever grips the host russia on the eve of the kickoff for this year's month long championship. also coming up it's only escalates a route with france over in my grave the hardline interior minister suggests wrapping up a summit in france has not apologized for the remarks made by president and the new one now called. i'm sorry kelly welcome to the program soccer's greatest prize has gone to north america the twenty twenty six world cup tournament will be hosted by the united states canada and mexico soccer's governing body awarded the cup over the morocco bed the twenty twenty six world cup it will be the first time that three nations will host the prestigious tournament together the competition will also feature

a record forty eight teams now in a poll of see some members of the north american bed if the north africans one hundred and thirty four vote sixty five as you can see there and the president of u.s. soccer he was really overjoyed have a listen on behalf of our united. canada mexico and my country the united states thank you so so very much for this incredible honor. thank you for entrusting us with this privilege the privilege of hosting the feed for world cup in twenty twenty six let us also salute our friends from morocco at the end of the day we are all united in football that's the spirit of the world cup the beautiful game game transcends borders and cultures and for more now we are joined by richardson who is standing by in washington and all of our with he is joining us from our source here in the studio and clare i'd like to begin with you because i mean we just heard there the head of u.s.

soccer he's not the only one who is overjoyed in the united states. hi sara that's right soccer fans are absolutely delighted by this development and this is a sport that's really been growing in popularity in the united states over the past couple of decades certainly since the u.s. last hosted the world cup back in one thousand nine hundred four and although there's not really the same level of support for soccer as you see elsewhere in the world and the u.s. men's team didn't qualify for this year's world cup i think there is still the hope that this winning bid is going to rekindle interest in a sport that was just starting to take root in the united states. we have to say though i mean perhaps some jubilation there in north america but a sad day for the moroccans i mean these guys really have to give it to them they've been five times now they have never won ali why not as painful as five times is an incredible number you really feel for the more vocal funds. that never looked like they would win this particular bid it became clear pretty early on the faith of prefer the north american bid for

a variety of reasons this go very well in the evaluations are one thing also we love to talk about with money the revenues coming from the north american. looked to be much higher than the potential for them and morocco would have been and also the infrastructure it's already the north american soil and the stadiums already in place whereas morocco wanted to build another nine stadiums and if there's also looking towards more sustainability you know issues with white elephant stadiums and so on in the past and so really it was it was all set up for the north american bid let's talk a little bit more about you think itself because of course we have those corruption allegations was leave a clean up going on within the organization tell us a little bit about the bid and how this vote was conducted and cleaner than before i think certainly with the vote i mean it's a very different process to what we have back in twenty you know going on the days of sepp blatter and this sort of clandestine executive committee that decides the outcome of this but now this time around we had over two hundred federations all

vote saying for their chosen. electronically as well so we can see. which federations voted for which big and it's a much more transparent process certainly the last time whether it's completely ruled out corruption whether it's totally clean obviously we can't say but it certainly seems to be a better process that we had back in two weeks when the upcoming world cup host was decided time in the united states clear i'd like to turn back to you because we know that the president there donald trump he threw his weight behind this bid but you know at the same time he has of course been highly critical of his neighbors when it comes to trade and immigration policies some would say that he's even provoking them and that diplomacy between these three is really at a historic low here could this tournament though have the unintended consequence of saving nafta of improving relations. saving after perhaps going a bit far but it's certainly nice to see these leaders from mexico the united

states and canada united on something as you say relations between these historic allies have been at a real low partly because of renegotiating nafta but also because of a lot of the rhetoric coming out of the white house donald trump's comments about mexicans coming into the united states when he called them rapists and murderers certainly drove a wedge between mexico and united states as well as his repeated calls to build a wall on the border and of course with canada we just saw him insulting the prime minister justin trudeau at last weekend blaming him for a disastrous g. seven summit in which the president managed to snub a lot of the united states' key allies by arriving late leaving early making it clear that his preference was to meet with the north korean leader kim jong un rather then sign a joint statement of shared interest with them so a lot of issues there again soccer is a great uniting force they are all coming out saying that this is going to be a wonderful thing to host together and it's important to remember that trump is going to be long gone by twenty twenty secs. well actually we're not sure about that perhaps. joining us. from washington and all of our movie here in the

studio ali you're actually going to stick around because we're going talk about another aspect of this story. there's been of course so much excitement building up for this year storen amend where one of the favorites is currently in disarray after having sacked their coach just two days before their first game have a lesson. it was meant to be the biggest week in his career you look at the gate was going into his first world cup at the helm of one of the favorites spain on tuesday he had been announced as the next coach of champions league when israel madrid due to take over after the tournament in russia but the timing and manner of the appointment sparked outrage among the spanish federation and found a hastily arranged press conference the day before the world cup kicked off sealed his sacking. his negotiations were real madrid were legal there is no issue with that but the federations was not informed about it we were told five

minutes before press release and we have to send a clear message to all employees of the spanish royal football federation. there is a way to proceed and we have to stick to our principles. less than a month ago look at the game had signed a contract extension with spain keeping him in the job till twenty twenty but the lure of succeeding xina deans the down and madrid proved too much. last minute replacement is found mundo hero spain sporting director and former real madrid captain. in fact ali now to talk a little bit more about this shocking news of him where does spain go from here well they are still great same house to be said and i think you had a will still manage to get a lot of the same thoughts really this is stunning we've never seen anything like this happen i woke up before where one of the favorites on the eve of the tournament two days before the opening match fires their coach it's i can't think

of a nazi of self-destruction like this or the world cup in the past without moments of madness like the sudan had we've seen meltdowns where the atmosphere just wasn't right but a federation a country actually making the decision to do something that will worsen the chances quite significantly like this i'd call remember anything like this ever happened with what we will see how they will cope in the competition oliver moody of putting it all into perspective for us thank you. a saudi led coalition has launched an offensive on yemen's main port city of hold data the battle could prove a turning point in yemen's three year civil war the coalition is trying to retake the city from the rebels backed by saudi arabia's arch rival iran they are pushing ahead with the assault despite grave warnings from humanitarian groups the u.n. says that the offensive risk is causing massive civilian casualties and could threaten. with starvation the u.n.

security council is set to address the matter tomorrow in urgency. for more now let's bring in most in said the yemen country director with the aid group oxfam he is speaking with us from sanaa thank you so much for joining us this evening oxfam has a team on the ground we understand. what are you hearing from them about the situation in the city. we all know that yemen has been in a war hunger and disease for the last two years so with this new development the saudi backed ground troops with support from the air and sea at dancing to us. while the other side hooty. troops and militia they have also gathered around so the city is basically now it is a lot so the citizens i mean you hit a city or almost six hundred thousand people living there almost up there in fear

then tension they do not know what was waiting for them in the future the services has been because of aid workers that's betty it has been relocated. the aid we're going to keeping wanly. for the lifesaving services so you can imagine that the people who have been suffering and living in a city where the medicine. and food and other essentials they're really dependent on this for the poor so if this kind of situation happened then then when we talk. or car i mean the citizens out there there really are not know was waiting for them and there is so much at stake here we understand we have heard that yesterday oxfam and ten other agencies wrote a letter urging the british foreign minister to withdraw its support for the saudi

led coalition if it attacks we just like to ask you about that particular effort and where you see it in the grand scheme of things. yes and that was adjourned later by almost i think doesn't operational in yemen but is still we did not see any positives we really wanted. to clear. position publicly that if these coalitions still continue and takes over. they have to take the responsibility and they can hold them accountable they said that they do have a legal and moral obligation to protect civilians because it will be a violation of international humanitarian and human rights it will be a human you manage an catastrophe but till now we are waiting and doing in the

united nations security council but they need to on these warning to the stop this war and go back to the fuse negotiations there is no military solution so they have to make it very clear and we thank you so much for joining us this evening to tell us more about those efforts your efforts in order to get them to do so we appreciate it most city as you mentioned the yemen country director with the aid group oxfam. italy's new populist interior minister says that an upcoming summit with france should be scrapped unless paris apologizes for criticizing rome's refusal to let of migrant rescue boat dock and italian ports the brow erupted after french president emanuel bach wrong called italy's action cynical and responsible france has since since gone into damage control mode trying to calm tensions by saying that it was committed to cooperation on migration meanwhile italy today did allow

a vessel carrying more than nine hundred migrants to dock in sicily. an italian coast guard ship carrying more the nine hundred migrants has sailed into qatar it had picked up the men women and children most from every train to don and molly during several rescue missions. two bodies were also on board. it's only allowed the vessel to dock unlike the aquarius the ship carrying six hundred migrants was stranded at sea for two days until spain said it could land in valencia where it's heading now. as a european i felt shame shame that there was a boat there is a hole in the mediterranean and for several days nobody wanted to take these people did this brings back memories of other. people seeking

refuge and being refused and being turned back and we know how it ended. and with that now you're up to date on. the in berlin don't forget you can always get the latest on our website that w dot com and you can follow us on social media at news my handle is that. thank you so much for watching have a great day. living in the digital age coming up creepy stories. and shapes. but first many stars you tube

videos with kids are a big hit the advertise. history wants to cash in on the influence of young men into birds who hold great sway over their young audiences. just a regular afternoon with the family the only difference everything's being filmed. right. now. and cut to make five videos per week and upload them to their you tube channel and leon family and fun named after their two kids. it has some one hundred ten thousand subscribers. who was her idea really. and they were always watching you tube and then she asked if we could make a video. so i said sure. and she just really wanted to see our video up on you tube as well. and some people at school asked for my autograph.

and. you tube clips from kids are popular all over the world in america six year old ryan makes videos for his channel ryan toys review they get up to a staggering one point one billion hits he's among the world's biggest you tube stars channel has over eleven point five million subscribers but plenty to spark interest from toward manufacturers as with you tube cute baby new life from germany her parents began filming her at age two showing their every day life along with all kinds of products coming. multi-channel networks like studios act as middlemen between you tubers and brands they have between fifteen and twenty you tube families under contract and the business is growing they also do post production for you two clips. one sets less channel becomes popular whether it's aimed at families kids or adults it's attracts the attention of friends wanting to

advertise we reached. out to you cheap and see just what kind of campaigns they could run. when a company. like this ad campaign for a german supermarket chain the retailer picked several young you tubers to take part including lulu and. have a fantastic year. in germany product placement is banned for kids' t.v. shows but youtube videos don't classify as. they are told that advertising must be audibly separate from the videos content but it doesn't really work in practice. when kids are involved in ads on their own videos and they say this is an advertisement by then they've officially separated marketing from content. and you can see it doesn't work for kids watching. because it's the same person who's

doing the marketing on the regular contant. store. children are easy to influence but even adults can find it hard to tell what's genuine content and what's product placement in. the latter can be very lucrative as videos by ryan toys review show ryan or his parents must be advertising millionaires by now thanks to the channel's reach popularity and their exclusive ad deals. so fans i mean when families want to earn money from videos it can create difficult situations. members might not want to be in front of the camera but can cause pressure. so how much pressure is involved in producing five videos a week for lulu and later on it seems to be all about fun. to shoot them in.

the money that's a nice bonus getting money from the advertising but we're mainly making these videos to express our creativity and because of the kids. so this is the oklahoma discussing my own and when the kids don't want to make a video that's that no matter what the ad agency might say. shift says i'm not going advertising. and now it's time for the shift planking the highest paying internships in u.s. tech companies in fifth place apple the us tech firm is a leader in consumer electronics and pretty generous with internship salaries but john platform glassdoor ranked the highest paying internships in u.s. tech firms based on anonymous feedback and apple in turn makes five thousand four hundred euros a month and they get to work in what looks like a u.f.o. maybe it'll take off some day you never know with apple. fourth place goes to
