or italy mottaki from date of you sports thank you very much and let's bring in our chief political correspondent melinda crane also for that aspect of the story i'm melinda what is the wider political fallout from this decision. decision to quit the german national team. well it definitely is a very big story here in germany a very big debate just to give you a sense of how big this is the front page of germany's main tabloid and as you see it is absolutely the top story for this paper and for most other media as well and basically the fall out is divided politicians who tend to be on the conservative side of the spectrum where certainly football association president mr grindle would be located they are essentially focusing once again on that photo with the president out of one and saying that mr never took sufficient
11:06 am
responsibility for his actions and that he should never have have had that photo taken but on the other hand we have a number of voices both out of the opposition parties like the green party and and also the social democratic party including the german justice minister who is a member of the social democratic party saying this is an absolute alarm bell when someone like mr is a doesn't feel comfortable in the german football team when he has the sense that he's been subjected to racism by the very head of the football association and by the way mr as you also received a lot of social media postings that were very hateful following the defeat of the german team that when a person like me doesn't feel comfortable that that is a sign that we have a deep political social problem in germany and i think what we're seeing here is we're seeing mr grindle taking advantage of
11:07 am
a very heated climate at the moment through the whole debate about immigration we have an increasing sense of tribalism particularly on the right side of the political spectrum here in germany so essentially there is fertile. around for implied racism and on the other hand comments like mr grendel's essentially make that politically acceptable and therefore a lot of concern among politicians within the opposition within the social democratic party did have used chief political correspondent melinda crane for us melinda thank you very much. not to some other stories making news around the world u.s. president donald trump has lashed out at iran's hasan rowhani on twitter he warned the iranian president not to threaten the u.s. or quote suffer consequences the likes of which few throughout history have ever suffered before trump's tweet came hours after rouhani said hostile u.s.

another attempt to win over her cabinet to her vision for brags that she's called her ministers together today for a special round of talks economic growth and trade post for exit are expected to top the agenda but britain's divorce from the european union will also have a profound impact on. thousands living outside of europe the small caribbean island event is one of fourteen british overseas territories residents didn't have a say in the bread vote some on the island now see the result as a chance to push for independence from london as part of our road to break that series. this it and willa to gauge the mood. as ship docking in britain six thousand five hundred kilometers away from the british mainland we're in one gorilla one of britain's six overseas territories and the caribbean people here have to import nearly everything even their drinking water and this port is

a life of language. is not only because there's only. so. if for whatever reason this port closes on. angola and itself just like those. most of the goods come in via the e.u. or more precisely from a port just fifteen minutes away on the french island of some of. the neighboring islands have close ties but no breaks it is threatening their relationship. we find it to be insulting because it will be affected directly. bought as we all saw water for years. and. that you know that doesn't present situation by the pound in the negative so local radio host a.j. hammer is angry that anger will lead to not have a say over breakfast that since residents could not vote liberated effect he and some fifteen thousand other islanders will lose their passports should london come

up short and it's been to secure a good break sit deal and with less residents worry that they will be among the biggest losers i'm going to ensure that i hadn't a chance to participate in the backseat and that no other people should decide and get on straight but then britain has been. increasing home micro-managing which i think is it fair to us. that mean we have no say because if you take the economy of and when you take the budget angle it has to be approved by england so we are just puppets in the end the whole thing yet another waste britain. is less involved since hurricane irma devastated on last september many homes still in ruins the state's coffers are empty and the planned reconstruction is funded by the e.u. it is also agreed last largest provider of development aid with much of the money earmarked for education after breaks it is unclear what the london will step in to
