6:03 pm
as our lives in the future. from the way it was declared to the announcement of the results this election in its entirety has been an unfair lection. the president to now concentrate on uniting a deeply divided country so mr. as of today please do not act like the president of the a k party be the president for eighty five million people embrace everyone. that message will resonate with a lot of turkish voters many of whom were devastated by the result. legally twenty five this is a very beautiful country. i want to live in this country. but as a young woman everything is in danger it's becoming harder to live here women aren't respected and the education system is upside down. but others were happy

6:05 pm
a free and fair election. it was certainly not a feature election given the european standards but on the other way let's face it turkey has changed as aired on this change in the last sixteen years during his power also turkey has changed to today's turkey's more nationalist more religious more conservative and it's a divided country out of the population is behind him and his policy on the other health is probably excluded no and that unfortunately also. turns slate's itself into the situation of the tricks community in germany say just a word if you would please about the domestic political consequences with in turkey some observers are saying that this represents the first step toward a dictatorship how do you see it well turkey becomes like an arsenal by john. so it's an altered syrian regime and there is no checks and balances no in turkey it was already very rican ofter disallow actually it's clear it's a one man regime from now on and he will be very difficult for the opposition in
6:06 pm
the parliament to get visible because there's no channel anymore where they can talk practically everything is controlled by mr aired on so i think it's time it's high time that we in the west we've all our means supports your position because they will go through a very difficult time you mentioned turkish voters in germany in fact they gave the president a significantly stronger share of the vote then voters in turkey itself you reacted to that with a tweet saying that showed not only that they're celebrating their dictator but that they are also rejecting liberal democracy doesn't your tweet itself show a certain disdain for democracy i mean it also needs some explanation that you live in a democracy you enjoy freedom of expression and you vote in another country where you do not live where you do not pay your taxes you vote for a dictator that needs some explanation but your rights let's be fair this is not
6:07 pm
only a problem of parts of the turkish commune. we also have similar problems with parts of people of russian region germans for russia their loyalty some of them is higher to mr putin only just to our constitution or to the german chancellor how do you see the results of this vote affecting turkey's relations with nato with europe and especially with germany hasn't been easy in the last couple of years is it going to get tougher well it's hard to imagine that he gets tougher but probably won't get any easier and the only thing that can stop me now is not the opposition is this not the free media in turkey that is not existing anymore it's the economy it's the inflation it's the foreign debt it's the disastrous situation and he has to finance all the gift years given during the election campaign so that's the only thing that can stop him on the mid term or in the long term and for the time being i'm afraid we have to deal with mr. and that of course was. chief political correspondent
6:08 pm
conducting that interview not mikaela now right when i bring up to speed now with some of the other stories making news around the world. anti terror police in france have arrested ten people with alleged links to the radical far right officials say the individuals were planning to carry out attacks on muslims the suspects were captured at the weekend in operations across france including here on the island of corsica. the situation on a migrant rescue boat stranded in the mediterranean is approaching a quote emergency that's according to a group of german lawmakers who boarded the vessel yesterday a lifeline operated by a german n.g.o.s carrying two hundred thirty migrants they've been waiting off italy's coast since thursday the italian interior minister has just reiterated that they will not be allowed entry. in thailand rescue crews are pressing on with their search for twelve boys and their football coach who have been missing
6:09 pm

6:10 pm
a strong and healthy person. he he can get them through this long i believe in him. and length on. a park official says that in the past people trapped by floods have been rescued days later once the water has receded. and we have to west africa now where police in nigeria have sent a special intervention force into the state of plateau after eighty six people were reportedly killed in clashes between nomadic herders and farmers or police a violence erupted over the weekend after an attack blamed on the herders a dawn to dusk curfew is already in place in the long running conflict has its roots in a battle for a land and water but over the years it has taken on ethnic political and religious dimensions. or it could take you now to lagos to our correspondent on a go or sell
6:11 pm
a very very shocking events there what's the situation right now. yes eighty six deaths that's a very high number of people who the police have reported died over the weekend. there are local various local groups who are actually putting it to the death toll much higher but it's difficult to verify that at the moment and there are people in the area say that there are still ongoing skirmishes in some of the villages but due to the insecurity in the area it's really difficult to know what's actually going on to it calms down so what brought this about. well as you as you mentioned the conflict between between basically the herders and farm for local farmers in the areas of the herders are mainly from the ethnic group which is predominantly muslim and local farmers a predominately christian so it has an ethnic and religious dimension but it's also
6:12 pm
about land and there are lots of over the past few months there's been several attacks retaliate three attacks tit for tat attacks between the different communities and so for example last week on thursday a group of herders was said to have been attacked and it's believed that perhaps they or in retaliation for that the attacks on saturday night happened where where apparently several people were killed at night and about up to fifty houses or thirty say were destroyed and after that basically the response from the local youths in the area was also to block the road and attack motorists and people they perceived were responsible for the attack so what are the herders doing there in that area because i believe that's not where they usually are. well they usually are they have been they have been in this area in the middle belt region of nigeria for a long time that's where they were that's where they're basically room with their livestock for grazing and. it's not only in nigeria but also in countries in the
6:13 pm
region basically in west africa like in mali in ghana they have also been conflict with herders. coming with their cattle with their livestock and. and look and look and basically. coming into conflict with the local farmers with the local communities who live in that area but they have been moving along these along these routes for for years ha right reporting from lagos and those are disturbing clashes unfolding in nigeria thank you very much for your reporting. and i'd like to hand you over now to ban them clouds on the horizon for german business is that possible it is that's what the economists are saying the message is very clear from them that the boom is over the message from one of germany's most respected economic institutes today the for research group it says business confidence as this month to its lowest level in over
6:14 pm
a year with the world edging towards a full blown trade war the german export champion is looking shaky. the retail sector has been a pillar of the german economy in recent years. but retailers themselves now have a pessimistic outlook says the munich based economic institute. that's also due to new challenges for germany both at home and abroad. chancellor angela merkel is dealing with a political crisis have been very in coalition partners the c.s.u. have taken a tougher stance against immigration. add to that the dispute between the u.s. and its major trade partners washington has threatened even more tariffs in retaliation to the e.u. use new levies on american products experts say germany would be the big loser any new tires on its automotive industry would hit more than other e.u. countries. and the big fall in business sentiment has hit the dax that
6:15 pm
is our financial correspondent in frankfurt daniel has germany's main stock index finished the day i see it's gone down down and down and it looks like it's going into your ear. and down yes so the good old doc's was not in the mood today it has been a really bad day the trading day had finished with a big loss as a minus of two point four six per cent so we have lost more than three hundred points in just a single day and close with only twelve thousand two hundred seventy points some are fearing that we could even be under the twelve thousand point mark soon the biggest losers today infinium down with almost six percent look times are also with more than five percent but also the possibility of u.s. auto tears car makers stocks tumbling once again at the end of the trading day every of the thirty list the chair in the docks was in the red and let me tell you investors fear that this trend could continue in the next days do they really think
6:16 pm
that because most economists say don't fret no recession in sight. well they're fearing that the. dax and the stocks still could down they don't see a recession to happen but they are monitoring all of this with a great concern i talked earlier to an asset manager here at the stock market he told me that his very wealthy clients are already very concerned in these days lots of factors also weighing in also the situation the german government more political chaos for i'm going to america and of course donald trump he is really for so many completely unpredictable even though c. and b. c. reported today that for the first time the majority of americans approve trump's handling of the economy all of this is seen here completely different than you hope for some for him for the think you could south america's largest country help europe's largest economy deal with the fallout for drums trade war that's what participants of the german brazilian economic forum in cologne hope some
6:17 pm
politicians want to hammer out a free trade deal between the e.u. and south america's block others are calling for germany and brazil to forge an economic deal of their own the economic problems plaguing brazil's economy are a source of concern. eighteen years of talks and still no deal. but participants at the brazilian german economic forum are still optimistic about a free trade deal between the e.u. and south america's mercosur trade bloc. site and at this moment what we've seen at this congress is a reaffirmation of the will of both brazil and germany to reach an agreement between now and the european union. however realities on the ground seem to be putting the brakes on brazil's economic recovery a recent ten day strike by truckers over high fuel prices disrupted supply chains throughout the country and cause some economists to lower growth expectations
6:18 pm
twenty seventeen zubrus ill's economy expand for the first time in four years but the nation is still plagued by distortions making recovery difficult consumer goods are among the most expensive in the world local companies are saddled with an overly complex tax system and the government pays a disproportionately high amount to service its debt. but despite the problems business leaders hope a deal could help free trade proponents counter trade barriers made in the usa. as more as we are able to enter into into globalized and multilateral systems as better we can prove that our systems my death d.m.p. the better but despite the good will the road to a deal between me and the e.u. is likely to be a long one. a battle between economies to the battle on the pitch. yes
6:19 pm
the bow because the first group has been decided at the world cup joining me in the studio to discuss the latest is emulate from d.w. sports all right so we just had group a host russia take on your gray who came out on top of that was indeed the big match because those two teams had already secured their spot in the knockout stages and they were just fighting for who gets the top spot who's in the better position and actually it was not russia but rules wise who had the better start into this game through a goal by louis suarez the barcelona star he scored for a white just in the tenth minute already their second goal was less impressive it was an own goal go like celts while shot was deflected by dennis cherish of they were sad safes faces on the pitch and they were followed because there was another red card for russia so they had to play with ten men and then finally conceded another goal to make it three zero so we're now in the top spot and russia qualify as second in their group and they're going to be watching the games later during the day ok but let's talk about that other game in egypt all eyes were on most
6:20 pm
solid how that they do well at the end of the day disappointing they were hyped up so much before the world cup but when actually came down to the world cup it was a very very disappointing trip to russia for mohamed salah as well as his teammates he was here he scored the first goal of the game and they went out this could have been their first world cup win ever and only their third participation but later on there was a penalty for saudi arabia and they made no mistake because for saturday the second one of the game this time they scored after they missed the first one so they were celebrating when it was won all in the last minutes of the game sunday we managed to score another and mohamed salah has to go home with another loss and perhaps i kind of really. very bad from the came back from this injury i mean he really tried and it's really difficult you know that's the tournament for you and it was a game can we look forward to. later on yet really exciting because in group b. spain and portugal are in the top spots and they each have to play spain will play
6:21 pm
morocco spain of course a world champion from two thousand and ten and they're highly favored to make it far in this tournament as well and portugal take on iran portugal with superstar cristiana rinaldo and for both teams it's make it or break it because out on top gets to play russia or. depending on where they qualify they play russia or way before i let you go what match ups are likely after these games so at the moment spain on top but it's kind of the same amount of points as portugal so depend on who wins more with more goals or who wins in general maybe tortuga lose to iran maybe spain lose directly there's a tie but should spain and portugal both win then spain will face russia and portugal will face way ok looking forward to that thank you so much and we talk to you in a bit and now we're going to stay with the theme of football iranian women who have traveled to watch a world cup matches in russia have been able to join fellow football fans in the stands but that hasn't always been the case back home women have been banned from attending sporting events in iran for nearly four decades but there are signs of
6:22 pm
a shift women were allowed into tehran's azadi stadium to watch a liar screening of iran's defeat to spain last week and they should be on hand tonight to watch their team take on portugal activists are hoping the move marks a lasting shift in the iranian government's policies. designer on is devoted fan of the iranian football club persepolis sporting their baseball cap she is quite open about her support of the team it's part of her plan she's fighting for the right for women to attend games in stadiums. everywhere i look at those who pay off a thirty should realize that nothing happens as men and women sit next to each other . the government justifies its decision by saying that men misbehave in stadiums and it wouldn't be good for women to hear all the swearing. but zahira can deal with it. you don't your we're running men haven't always been like that
6:23 pm
the authorities were the ones who told us that it's better this way. zahara takes out a picture that shuts the men up it's her at a soccer game she was able to get into the on saudi stadium in tehran dressed up as a man pulling security personnel. to everyone men go to the stadium they take a hole on. a fly. or a team shot. we women have something else with us which serves as an admission ticket a bid. she was nervous the first time she went to the stadium. that i thought i got ponce the second
6:24 pm
turnstile and saw the pitch and felt the incredible atmosphere i had to cry on you when you notice what you've been missing all these years once you're in the stadium . that. women are fighting every day for their rights here and getting into football stadiums is the least of their problems. the billboard reads together we are champions put up for the world cup at a busy intersection there are no women on it behind closed doors men often admit that women should have the same rights as they do the very few men actually say that in public which is why the words of iran's most famous soccer player former byron munich striker only a dying are so meaningful. that i personally hope and would welcome it when someday women would be allowed into stadiums it will be good for women and good for the game will have more spectators the women will be happy and i'm sure
6:25 pm
that the men will try to behave somewhat better with us on. the field. in. this private living room thing seems to be just fine it's the islamic regime that doesn't want to see men and women enjoying themselves together public viewing has been repeatedly canceled in iran but that doesn't stop young people from cheering on their national team and even celebrating last minute surprises. suddenly all the rules and regulations don't longer matter within minutes after defeating morocco one nil tehran streets are packed with revelers men and women celebrating their nation's first world cup victory in twenty years. that's for the all male billboard. it was replaced overnight by one also featuring
6:26 pm
women. too many people were upset authorities were under pressure. iran didn't just get to celebrate a world cup victory iranian women also had something to cheer about. for the european election monitors have criticized president election victory and turkey monitors said erdogan and his ruling party had a quote undue advantage in clearing in media coverage after one was elected as president with more than half of the vote. don't forget you can always get it over use on the go just download are out from google play or from the apple store they'll give you access to all the latest news from around the world as well as push notifications for any breaking news you can also use that to be app to send us your photos and videos. i have another update for you at the top of the hour now thank you so much for spending this part of the day with
