this is news live from berlin a shock retirement from the german international soccer team gold cup winning midfielder also said he will not pull on the germany shares again after facing a barrage of criticism from eating turkish president. coming out after pulling thousands from the rubble in syria it's not the turn of the so-called white helmets to be rescued images from the israeli army show volunteer rescue workers and their families evacuated by israel to jordan it was feared they could

have been killed by the forces of syrian leader bashar al assad also on the show. warnings of a threat to global growth has a g twenty meeting when a siren after the u.s. president on china and the european union finance minister. thank you for your company mesut ozil has sensationally retired from the german national team following the controversy and fallout of his meeting with turkish president. back in may also faced fierce criticism from german media for the encounter while he was lambasted by german f.a. president. germany's early exit from the world cup in a post on social media the german international said he was retiring with a heavy heart but that he had made the decision because of

a feeling of racism and disrespect he also said that quote i used to wear the german shirts with such pride and excitement but now i don't retire has decided to caps and a world cup to his name. well joining me in studio to talk. public. so sensational is what we're calling it at this stage it's not a surprise that he did quit but will his strongly worded statement cause shock well has caused a lot of shock i'm first and foremost let's bring the fact that it was written in english for maximum impact we'll say now let's not forget as well that message is of course does play in england so he is based in the most of the time of course releasing a statement in english is quite powerful considering that the criticism is geared towards in. sort of split into different areas he is very critical of the german media in particular he's also critical of the german football association and one

person in particular of course that is the president of the german football association but it's also not criticism too was the german football association and as you said he seems to have very tough words on a lot of issues can you tell us more about that right i mean we need to really sort of focus on the fact that he goes suppose that he's very direct in what he says it shocked a lot of people i mean i don't think anybody expected it what are some of the things that well for example he focuses very much on and he's the president of the german football association and so many who has a previous career in politics now before we get to that we need to bring up some of the areas that he highlights now measure dualism of course plays for germany but he has turkish heritage he also raises many questions with regarding to that and he also focuses on the lukas podolski of course he is a footballer who has polish heritage and he says and as it is though he says a lot of people talk about the fact that he is turkish german but people don't

raise the fact that podolski is referred to as polish german that doesn't happen according to. what they when he's talking about reinhard he is he does not mince his words and i have some of the stuff that he said. here he says that in two thousand and four whilst you were a member of parliament you claim that multiculturalism is in reality a myth and he's somebody who has been courting very much against the idea of jewel nationality so this is something that is very important to obviously somebody who has turkish heritage but of course he stresses many times throughout the statement that he feels german and he has felt very proud to represent germany throughout his career but considering the backlash that he's received following the photograph that was taken of him with of the one just a couple of months ago he feels that he just can't continue with the national team so focusing now on the german f.a. president you've spoken a little bit about. taking really a kicking from could he have handled this situation better well he certainly could

have handled it a lot better but like i was saying i mean the issues here that he is raising are essentially more greater and i think this is going to spark a lot of debate here in germany and perhaps even in other countries in the european union which have these you know players who have heritage from different countries because you know there are there is a significant percentage of immigrants living in the country and they do represent their country because they feel part of that country like residue still stresses that he feels german but he has you know felt many times he has that has. been sort of he's been criticized almost by many people in society for feeling like he says he has two hearts of german heart and also a turkish heart all right giving us the very latest in this who would have known football's scandal can we call it that will thank you very much for. this. switching gears now to israel where the israeli military has evacuated over four

hundred syrian white helmets and their families to safety in jordan video from the israel defense forces shows buses ferrying them overnight across the border western powers who support the volunteer rescue group formerly known as syria civil defense requested israel's assistance once the group's members were deemed to be in mortal danger but hundreds more are still trapped. i'm now joined by news correspondent who is following the situation in syria from beirut thank you for joining us so the israeli military rescued these so-called white helmets and their families as part of an international plan but why exactly did they choose to intervene. well you know well during all of these you know the syrian war there is an indian a policy that it would not be getting it into what it has actually been in a lot of patients who've gone or would you israel are personally spoken to israeli doctors who taught me that yes that happy to invasions and you know their.

nets and to get a decent another one you will also tell you will it have to mean that israel has them in that humanity in. congress or lesion the reason that israel has helped in that region of these. more like her little. girl are there to wait and that's not going to leave a threat is because of the international effort as you said germany the united states. has asked israel to have these people who needed it send them to jordan which is what is happening germany's going to be there and will be hearing is that gather likely. in the beginning the plan was to get it up but the only managed to get one hundred forty that's what jordan's foreign minister has said so this is centuries of art an international effort to rescue some of these aid workers the white helmets because these are the same countries that have been working in supporting light and that's been actually able. and can you tell us why this group

of the white helmets as they're known who have really been working in cities and towns across syria at their own personal risk are in danger. well you know very much in question they have always been in danger and there's always been casualties. but in the case of a letter or not. these areas were on an elite syrian regime siege so they could not be back it's one reason is this is the actually. because. in this case they won't win it but there are long arms to slimed with israel today could be taken out of the country if that happens and one that's a lot. less about the second reason is that the girls instance live out of this territory that is also as it's a bad thing apart. and i says it has to be about it but it's very important also to mention that israel jordan or any of these countries that not this be that identity

and i honestly do that syrian regime which is already saying these people are generous with me that if they get that perhaps these are just dosen not so it would certainly some please and israel and jordan better. who these people actually are. thank you so much trade tensions are dominating a meeting of the g twenty finance ministers and central bankers in the editing in capital of when us areas france ones that a trade war is now a reality and as donald trump continues his tit for tat tariffs with china and the european union the g twenty is set to call for greater dialogue and once i guess debating global growth. going into the summit the threat posed by us president trumps america first policy was clear the international monetary fund has studied the current tariff escalation and puts a number to it all those smaller than some had feared it certainly indicates the

impact that it would have on g.d.p. which in the worst case scenario under current measures and not taking into account the most recent announcements is in the range of point five percent of g.d.p. on a global basis unsurprisingly the cheap twenty member countries are distancing themselves from any protectionist measures like japan just days after signing a massive trade agreement with the e.u. . protectionism benefits no one free and fair rule based trade cool is the way to roll the world economy. fair trade instead of free trade that sounds like what the united states want fighting accusations of protectionism trumps finance minister stephen nugent offer to open trade negotiations with japan as well as the e.u. not so fast says france they want the us to take back all recent tariffs and

threats as a precondition for talks to start the officially your policy sounds a little softer. well it's not the precondition because we conditions are never good but it would be a great wish. whether a great wish gets the u.s. to change its strategy is unclear but for now g twenty finance ministers maybe with the exception of stephen noachian percent themselves as one big family working together for free trade. french president emmanuel mccoy is facing the first political crisis of his tenure on sunday prosecutors laid a series of charges against one of macross top security staff now a video surfaced last week showing alexander assaulting a man and a woman at a may day demonstration in paris was fired on friday but opponents accuse mccall of trying to cover up the incident. the twenty six year old former top security aide

not a single communication from michael's office on the banal issue three days now and no reaction from the president of the republic who's faced with such a serious scandal. examined the other president of my callers. said that certain deputies were turning a court case into a political crisis and allowing the banal a case to paralyze the legislature. the scandal has become the most damaging from that call since his election last year on pledges to restore transparency and integrity to the nation's highest office. here in germany the grand prix in hockenheim ended with a mere rack us win for formula one defending champion lewis hamilton now the briton started the racing fourteenth but took advantage of the heavy rain to battle to an unexpected win but it was a hugely disappointing day for ferrari sebastian fettle in front of his home crowd
