but there. are all but there. are certain. business do every news live from berlin and one of germany's the best known soccer stars quits the national team citing racism midfielder has it says it will no longer play internationally for germany after facing a barrage of criticism for meeting with the turkish president his decision has kicked off a debate about racism and integration. also coming up in the u.s.

supreme court will soon decide whether to decriminalize homosexuality will introduce you to an activist who's fighting for gay rights. plus what do you do if you have to import almost everything you consume and you're not sure what the future holds we'll take you to the overseas british territory of and and if you worry over the upcoming. harmon welcome to the show it's good to have you with us german football star mez it has quit the national team over what he called discrimination after germany's world cup exit who has turkish roots so they faced racism and disrespect in the german media after his meeting with turkish president raja back in may he was also criticized by the german football association after the tournament and russia.

after a long silence mesut ozil has finally made his feelings known in an epic three part statement on twitter. because ill said that not meeting with president at all on would have been disrespecting his family's roots. in his third post heavily criticized german football association president of the for negative comments on islam and multiculturalism and said that he would no longer be playing for germany. a photo of israel an added one at that meeting in may spark to debate that has refused to die in germany with israel being accused of helping out a once campaign for an upcoming election israel says the pat talked only about football germany teammate going to on the scene here on the left was also at the meeting and explained his decision soon after those ill prefer to remain silent which only brought him more criticism if in the kind i don't think any footballer

should have their photo taken with any authoritarian rulers whether with vladimir putin as the tomatillos did with the one leg going to one in israel's there are enough democratic politicians to be photographed webb. got to put it you can be missing a pretty shrewd us and coming off to germany's exit in the world cup group stage the debate bubbled up again germany team manager all of a beer huff and f.a. chief then the added fuel to the fire with kendall urging isn't to explain his meeting with adam on the ninety two times capped international has done so now and his words have piled more pressure on the german f.a. who have yet to respond. i've a huge story this morning in germany from our sports desk to walk me through it all in a good to have you here we heard they're taking aim at german f.a. president right are going though what is the issue with him yeah so is it not shy away he did not hold back he went and he basically accused i had gringo that the be president of using him as a scapegoat for his own incompetence and he even went

a step further and he basically pointed out something that a lot of germans with a my current background often and that is that if you're successful if i'm when i win i'm german but the minute i lose on the foreign i'm the immigrant and that's what also goes into the identity politics in germany where a lot. people with a migrant a background often feel like they never german or not it doesn't matter how well you can be a world champion but you're still never good enough and people also need to realize that. she was a former politician and he has in the past make very controversial comments about multiculturalism and his slam in germany and feels that somebody with this sort of use should not be running for the organization. from a sporting perspective what does it mean to german football to lose a player like oh i mean this is detrimental i mean for the longest time he was the model of integration this is where like people were saying all the kids for them i can back on especially those were of a turkish background this is the man it they need to look up to and you know he

even wants several awards for it and the big question now is what sort of impact will this have on aspiring footballers that you know with a migrant background in germany because a lot of them must be thinking wait a minute if this is how they treat a world cup champion somebody that helped germany to win it in twenty fourteen one of they pay us who we can safely say as one of their most technically gifted players in a very long time you know a lot of these kids must be saying do i really want to represent germany and if that is the case that of course would be detrimental to the talent pool in germany and it also leaves the german f.a. in kind of an awkward position. has not been the only critical voice of this organization needs he hasn't and i mean by and chairman. just last week cause the e.u. is again a bunch of amateur us the former world cup captain back in twenty fourteen he basically said look he needs to really take a look at his leadership abilities and what's our co of course is

a problematic is that with six weeks to go we will find out who will host the twenty twenty twenty twenty four european championships and germany of course is in the running for that but they have such a bad image right now that see if they can bounce back if they can recover i know him who are you sports us thanks for your insights. ory impact of that resignation goes far beyond the soccer pitch it's shining a spotlight on germany's relations with its largest immigrant community with turkish roots and it's also reignited the debate about whether enough is being done to counteract racism in sports or to the streets of berlin to find out how germans are reacting to the story. for him personally it's the right decision but i think it's a shame that he had to resign because he doesn't feel accepted here is someone with a migration background so it would be much better for clinton to resign that if you. understand him when he says i'm

a turk or part of me is turkish and i respect my president and i think it's brave and now we have to see how the f.a. reality is this is the next one from the f.b.i. . i'm not that convinced by his explanation for the photo authority so it's good that he's decided not to play for germany any more right if there's been some of. these decisions with the national team was the right one. because the pressure was just too great. come on the. i think he did the right thing. you know if once of a. right that's the view from the streets let's bring in our chief political correspondent linda crane to get the political take on this bill and it was just turns a mixed reaction there but what about the political fallout here in germany from quitting the national chain what's happening well starting from the top a spokeswoman for the chancellor said today that the chancellor deeply values. that

he has been a very important member of the german team and has achieved great things for the country and the spokeswoman also pointed out that the chancellor would like to underline the integrative role that sports does play for people of migration background but the spokeswoman refused to be drawn out on the point of whether the chancellor might share view that the heads of the football association were essentially unfairly scapegoating him after the team's defeat to that point she would not speak other politicians did however if we look at what some of the social democratic members of the chancellors can cabinet are saying for example the justice minister said that this absolutely raises alarm bells if great football player like mr feels that he's been subject to racism and feels that he is not welcome in this country and other similar reactions as well from members of the

opposition the political opposition including one with his own migration background a. member of the green party who said look this is absolutely an enormous problem if in fact we are seeing. people of migration background no longer feeling comfortable in this country and he and others have referred to the fact that this this dispute comes at a time when there absolutely is a heightened climate of sensitivity about race based not least. on the dems debate that we've seen here in germany about immigration with a sense among some germans particularly on the right of the political spectrum of tribalism a sort of us versus them mentality and obviously criticism like some of that that's been directed also in social media very much incites that kind of of

a mentality in other words this kind of criticism is pouring a few on the fire right that's our chief political correspondent linda crane thanks very much there's a look not some of the other stories making news around the world right now police say three people are dead and twelve more wounded after a mass shooting in downtown toronto a twenty nine year old gunman opened fire in the city's busy greektown neighborhood for being killed after a shoot out fire with elise authorities have not ruled out terrorism as a motive. u.s. president donald trump has lashed out at iran's haasan rouhani 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. policy towards iran could lead to quote a mother of all wars japan's ongoing heat wave has reached

a record temperature of forty one point one degrees celsius in a city just north of tokyo weeks of extreme heat of killed at least fifteen people and twelve thousand hospitalized a scorching weather is said to continue and authorities are warning people to take precautions to prevent heat stroke. cuba's national assembly has approved a new constitution it reorganizes the government and recognizes the right to own private property but it also keeps the communist party firmly in control of the economy the draft will be put to a vote in a national referendum later this year. and india activists are challenging a colonial era law that criminalizes gay sex the country's top court has been hearing arguments against the law and is expected to hand down its decision over the coming weeks our correspondents the new film the car went to the northern city

of look now to meet one man who's been fighting back at a great personal cost. a nineteenth century muslim you know a refuge for gay men like a. mill of over ten years. it's a place they can be free from society skis in a country where the law criminalizing homosexuality is known a section three seventy seven is routinely used as a cover to hound people it is making their lives hell they are their fears everyday face blackmails extortion rape harris men beating forty percent of them just come out for side just because of fear that they would be outed by the police or the by the community because it is still seen as a criminal thing and if no scratch only to where he wants to be awareness programs among the working class gay population and activity fraught with risk in india

several years ago he and his colleagues were thrown into prison they were charged with conspiracy to commit sodomy and possessed so-called obscene materials but it was a shock because what we're trying was trying to save lives and we're being imprisoned and that was horrific because in jail for initial candy agree we deny drinking water the they've been beaten up regularly and that left so many scars. ottis lost most of his teeth because of the beatings and the poor hygiene in prison he was shunned by his friends it took years before he dared to enter the station again but he hasn't given up the fight he's now one of the petitioners pushing india's stop court to decriminalize homosexuality among the gay community the poor of the most bundle. in give audio some go along with the gong no one of this

workshop can seek six wants to show their. husbands and fathers some of them sex workers only then would it lead to. the response or pressure on me to get married as a man you're expected to do that and run the family more liberal have a diagnosis no one in my family or my neighborhood knows i'm gay if they did they call me a faggot are you going to get on my family wouldn't accept me anymore as a. added spins long at the office he draws strength from the state and his family especially his mother who has been hugely supportive. in the evening out of this work. he goes to public high school homosexual men can find sexual partners and yet remain anonymous in the shadows the risk of contracting each id is high and that's not the only danger of men when they're approaching

their customers. trade them off putting them in the game on the under the pretext of section three hundred seven. and and using that pretext to blackmail them extort money rape them and that and why we feel that the law should go to students activists even a celebrity chef they argue that the snore is used to harvest the community it violates the fundamental rights the court has also heard from villages troops who say that homosexuality is moderately unacceptable now those arguments of wrapped up in the supreme court is expected to give a verdict we don't know when that will happen it could be a matter of weeks matter of weeks but this is the first attempt by a court to legalize homosexuality in india is there hope there amongst the gay community that a wall might be overturned this time. you're right there i think this is not the first time that we're seeing this controversy being played out in two thousand and thirteen the indian supreme court had essentially struck down

a previous court that had decriminalized homosexuality that was a big blow to the community but i think this time things are different there is certainly more hope in the gay community for one the indian government has pointed out that it's going to leave this decision up to the judges that they will decide whether the soul violates fundamental rights activists have also been encouraged by some progressive legislation in recent years notably right to privacy for that sexual orientation as an essential attribute of privacy and i think despite political reservations there is a view across ideological lines that the small really is a blot on india's idea of itself as a liberal democracy and we heard some grim testimonies in your report about what it's like to be gay in india but in recent years we've also seen some gay pride parades across the country and more openness how do you explain that. well i think on many levels india has really moved on when it comes to the assertiveness and visibility of the gay community like you said gay pride parades

that are openly gay celebrities we have gay friendly cafes and parties but you know if you look at the smaller towns and cities i think plays a role that thousands of homosexuals and constrain the people who still face crippling discrimination and since they considered a criminal in the eyes of the north the are hugely vulnerable to police abuse sexual assault and they really have little access to justice little access to justice is that something that they would gain if this law is changed. well i think many activists here would agree that repealing the law is necessary but that's really just a first step in what is expected to be a long and difficult journey of really battling deep seated social stigma and bias you know there is still a widespread belief in india that homosexuality is an illness that can be cured so i think really people's perceptions need to be changed about what is normal and i think that will take time our reporting for us in delhi thanks very much. britain's new foreign secretary jeremy hunt says there is a risk of the u.k.

a say over breakfast that since residents could not vote will break that affect he and some fifteen thousand other islanders will lose their passports should london come up short in its bid to secure a good breaks it deals with less residents worried that they will be among the biggest losers and will ensure that hadn't a chance to participate in the backseat and that no other people should decide and one state but then britain has been. increasing homemaker managing what i think is it fair to us. that mean we have no say because if you take the economy of angola and you take a buddy. remember that has to be approved by england so we are just puppets in the whole thing yet another ways britain is less involved since hurricane devastated last september many homes still in ruins the state's coffers are empty and the planned reconstruction is funded by the e.u.

why many here would rather be a part of the european union than britain the way. time now for some business news chinese retailers are offering up europe moniker you got that story exactly one particular retailer this era china's second largest online retailer called j.d. dot com is looking to enter the european market c.e.o. richard you told german business daily hundreds plus the company will have a strategy in place by the end of the year and that could potentially shake up europe's competitive e-commerce industry. jadi dot com wants to take on amazon and it plans to start with a european market the chinese e-commerce giant is said to be planning to build logistics centers in germany and france as part of a strategy to help it sell directly to europeans and europe is the second largest retail market after north america so j.d.

dot com could face tons of competition from established players the top five include global e-commerce leader amazon u.k. based tesco and germany's lando. but that is where the company strategy could help j.t. dot com c.e.o. says the only one retailer could acquire european competitors to help it expand on the continent a move that would certainly change europe's e-commerce landscape and help jadi dot com compete with amazon. ryan air europe's largest budget carrier has reported a steep fall in earnings in the first quarter net profits declined twenty percent the dublin best ally blames lower fares and higher fuel and pilot costs for the drop but it's still expected to reach its annual profit forecast of around one point three billion euros run as disappointing results come off to its decision to accept trade unions late last year strikes eyelets having crew continue to take
