the line or not all right so unfortunately we will try to get our istanbul correspondent later in the program but for now we move on to some of the other stories making news around the world. you'll be a hose. what you hear is the sound of a grenade exploding at a rally in ethiopia as capital addis ababa where one person is dead and dozens have been injured the rally was in support of prime minister abi aman seen here being removed by security since taking office in april abi has introduced a flurry of reforms including the lifting of a draconian state of emergency. u.s. president donald trump has a brand new to sanctions against north korea for one year saying the country still poses a quote extraordinary threat this comes just days after the u.s.

announced it would suspend a large scale military exercise with south korea the joint war games have long angered the north. now tens of thousands of supporters of the european union have gathered in central london to call for a final vote on the terms of brains it comes exactly two years to the day that britain held its referendum on leaving the e.u. in that twenty sixteen vote fifty two percent voted to leave forty eight percent wanted to remain organizers of today's rallies say that with so much uncertainty over the terms of brags that it's only right that the public gets a final say on any deal. all right let's bring in correspondent pirg at mars who is in london so begin this demonstration is said to be the biggest one since the vote on bret said two years ago give us some

impressions of what's been going on. well it's really a lot of people are gathered on london there are anti breck's of groups throughout the u.k. and they've been working towards this they have always been small demonstrations as lots of little groups that are quite active throughout the u.k. but they were hoping that this would be a huge outcry are of pro european ism any longer and added looks like it's hard for me to give a big number but the certainly thousands of people however the opinion polls are still divided so it really needs to be a big moment from within the u.k. there really i think needs to be hundreds of thousands of people who would need to go onto the streets in order to change the course of president in order to achieve what they want which is a dear another referendum not just a repeat of the first referendum but when to deal with the e.u. or no deal what has been decided and now the referendum on this here are very going

where you just mention abound these recent polls showing that the country is still very much divided between those who are pro bragg's it and those who are anti briggs's so we're seeing this kind of rally in london is it likely to give the and she brags a movement a boost. it's really a very tricky our situation and it's hard to see what the best outcome is you have a situation where the m.p.'s here in westminster their people are walking towards hours of parliament many m.p.'s are not happy with what's happening they don't really want direction however they don't really see how this can be solved and how our. you know how our there are still friction or no breck's it could happen because you don't really have a shift in opinion polls you have a slight majority now to stay within the european union however these are mostly

young people sixty and or eighteen year olds they don't we don't know if they actually would go to this referendum because young people all the tourists is there no one they are to go to the ballot box so proletarians don't really see the draw european politicians to really see the big swing of things they don't really see that the public opinion has really shifted in a massive way since the brics referendum beer gets mass reporting for us from london thank you. all right to world com soccer now and germany fans gearing up for tonight's crunch match against sweden the world champions lost their opening match against mexico and they need to win for a chance to progress to the group stages in live and to squad have put on a united front and are hoping they can rebound star defender mats hummels will

likely miss the game due to injury well here's what live have to say about his team and tonight's match up. because the months of fighting the team this yesterday the two most important weapons energy and balls using. the team that played mexico was not the team we're used to this self-confident approach and playing style it was. even speed those of that fundamental for us it's all because we've seen it almost all the games that this world cup for the level of skill has not seen at the very top level. overbidding by any speed and she was more a world cup of absolute dedication absolute passion ops teams are throwing everything they have into defending pie you can see hop in. germany coach joachim live and meanwhile swedish fans have made their presence known in sochi which is the site of tonight's match up sweden is a solid side without much flair their fans are

a colorful and confident bunch as the reporters found out ahead of kickoff. the. head of the game swedish fans are celebrating like they've won the world cup here in sochi they're convinced their side will knock out the world champions. three there we were in with three male three has nothing to lose we're going to go all the and it's going to be tough game it's going to be quite easy game sunday walk in the park think as we don't want to beat their crap but our germany probably . five six two zero three scoring isn't exactly what the swedes are known for the team qualified for the tournament on the back of their solid defense since the retirement of starstruck has lots of abraham of its coach ian anderson has focused on the collective. germany will certainly have more ball will possession and i

would defending will be the deciding factor but we also want to create and play our own game we will have to be at our very best mean to be the dog regardless of the performance the fans will celebrate late into the night because their team will still have a chance to advance to the knockout stages even if they lose they may be singing for a few more games yet. the women are gearing up to take the wheel in saudi arabia as of midnight local time women will legally be able to drive after a ban ends but this historic moment for women's rights comes as the kingdom is cracking down on political dissent. if you want to escape the rules of society in conservative riyadh today it does serve to hang out with friends lately women have also been coming here to learn how to drive. the brothers. in the middle. and they're quite practical

reasons why women come here to basically the safest place to drive in fact it's their driving without getting any accident so driving school basically has a long list of driving schools for women very popular currently but boy didn't want to wait for her lessons. like we are with her when she sits behind the wheel for the first time until now the only way for a woman to get around the ban has been to drive clogged bikes in remote desert locations but change is finally coming. after freedom for women and normal life it begins with driving but a lot will have to follow. and off they go hoping more changes on the subway and the kingdom.

protests against a driving ban for women have a long history in saudi arabia a few months ago i met her in her house in one thousand nine hundred eighty two one of the first women to defy the bat. our way of life was totally not sustainable and we knew that it couldn't you couldn't have economic growth when fifty percent of your society is handicapped so i knew it was coming but the question was sweat and for thirty years we were waiting there when. this was one of the last public appearances of my deah before she was arrested in may with several other activists officially she's been accused of conspiracy to destabilize the country she's been released in the meantime but no one has been allowed to interview her since my d. had told me that this historic day is about far more than driving you know one of

the first things we've been asking was the driving not the only thing we need we need it many many things but we use the car as a symbol it gave us the opportunity to go in the streets and to be very very visible it's also about changing the structure of the family ultimately she says that means the male guardianship rule must go that's the next battle of women in saudi arabia until then they will never be really free to do what they want. here up to date and in. every journey begins with the first step and every language with the first word. germany to learn german why not with this simple. and free south d.w. learning course you can speak german. wished
