sarah hoye and welcome the show it's good to have you with us. the german football star resit has quit the national team over what he called it discrimination after germany's world cup exit u.s. targets roots said he faced racism and disrespect from the german media after his meeting with turkish president russia earlier won back in may it was also criticized by the german football association after the tournaments and russia. after a long silence mesut ozil has finally made his feelings known in an epic three part statement on twitter. it was ill said that not meeting with president at all one would have been disrespecting his family's roots in his third post as ill heavily criticised german football association president for negative comments on islam and multiculturalism and said that he would no longer be playing for germany

. a photo of israel and add a one at their meeting in may spot to debate that has refused to die in germany with israel being accused of helping out the ones campaign for an upcoming election is all 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 off who still preferred to remain silent which only brought him more criticism if indeed kind i don't think any footballer should have their photo taken with any authority in religious whether with vladimir putin as the tomatillos did with edouard late into one and is ill that if there are enough democratic politicians to be photographed webb could be god should he do going to the embassy up additional us and coming off to germany's exit in the world cup group stage there's still debate bubbled up again germany team manager all of a b a health and f.a. chief because until added fuel to the fire with kindle urging israel to explain his meeting with. the german f.a.

have since said that they regret israel's decision and concede to failure to adequately support him but anytime to continue the integration efforts and fight against racism. here with me for more now is chris harrington from sports task cross briefly the d.f.a. publish a statement we heard at the end of that piece what does it say well you have the f.b.i. also known as a german football association they thanked him as it was ill for his ninety two games appearances for the german national team they also said he helped shape an era and he played a decisive part in their success in twenty four team winning the world cup you know and they also touched on i mean basically this was a p.r. move they're trying to cover you know the criticism they received from those ill so they did touch on that the photo and they said the photo did raise many questions and surprisingly they conceded some of the criticism that they've received they were called amateur ish by some other football chiefs domestically here in germany

so they did concede that admitted that but then they ended with this idea that the fact that the d.s.p. is associated with racism we reject with regard to its representatives and they were citing all of the integration work they do and as well as how diverse the employees are within the association and then they just ended by saying that we stand for diversity and we encourage you know diversity so it's an exact opposite to what ms it was ill had to send a message or there's a really strong words on twitter criticizing the president of this organization reinhard grendel by name what is beef with reinhard what's going on ok so after the photo according to the post via twitter ms it was a supposed he was asked requested to come back from the echo show him love and explain himself in berlin and he had a conversation according to the post with grendel and he felt that he was being the little you know his turkish heritage he tried to explain himself but he felt it was

ill felt a gringo was more interested in expressing his own political views and he said that they agreed to focus on football that ms it was it will focus on football so obviously we do know that after germany crashed out. randall made it very clear that he was demanding some public explanation from as it was ill so according to clearly there is some hypocrisy there because it sounds like the conversation already took place they agreed that they will not discuss anything and matter of fact lee says it was it was actually not in a press conference shortly after this photo was taken so he would address all of these questions that he was expected to receive german media you know so obviously he's calling him a hypocrite in some sense and then the racist tag you know pretty much a blanket over the entire football german football association where does this leave the german football association also notice that the d.f.a. where do we go from here that's a hell of a guy who says i'm definitely a male looks like they're not going to be that inviting you know because there is no doubt that it was clear they were trying to you know label it as

a scapegoat so i'm just thinking all of the young biracial players that have the same exact background as when they are coming into that his decision who do i play for who i pledge my allegiance to they're probably going to lean towards the turkish side or their other you know their ethnic you know so to speak because one thing did add in his statement as he said you know i used to have pride playing in the german jersey and now you know i can't even wear it anymore you know so i'm sure young players kid understand you know this quagmire that you know multicultural athletes find themselves in this situation and it's like they have a knock on effect that's crest harrington from davies sports thanks for being with us today ok. of course there's been plenty of reaction to earl's resignation on social media we're taking a look at that aspect of the story a little later on the show but first lawmakers in cuba have approved a new draft constitution that supporters say well modernize the nation all the

leading political force remains the communist party new document has removed the aim of building a communist society the draft constitution also recognizes private property and couldn't even open the way to same sex marriage here's more pro put on the net one enemy. one historic reform the cuban parliament approves the first update of its constitution since one thousand nine hundred seventy six. and if we confirm that we have a draft constitution and that after popular consultation and the referendum will strengthen the unity of cubans regarding the revolution in. the new constitution allows for a controlled opening up of the economy the party for reform is strong the recognition of private property rights. and the open we already have here paid employment than private property ownership we have to recognize this objectively this is the

reality we have to accept and regulate. the goal is to develop a form of socialism that is no longer strictly communist other constitutional reforms include limiting the president to two terms creating a prime minister post and addressing l g b t discrimination which is long been systemic in cuba. but that as the end of one of the omegas the making changes that are important for the country and given the historic moment we're going for it it's been sixty years since the revolution that change is necessary. yes it was time to do it we're proud that it's being done. now it's up to the cuban people to vote on the new constitution the referendum will be held in november. or tensions are rising again between the u.s. and iran with donald trump tweeting a ronnie and president haasan rouhani that he will face dire consequences for threatening america iran's state owned news agency dismissed the u.s.

president's tweet describing it only as a quote passive reaction to rouhani as remarks. everyone has a history of using heated rhetoric against the united states but recent comments by president rouhani appear to have crossed the line for donald trump to michoud was you know. don't play with the lion's tail that would only lead to regrets you will forever regretted. the u.s. president took to twitter to send a warning to tehran using capital letters for emphasis never ever threaten the united states again or you will suffer consequences the likes of which few throughout history have ever suffered before. on sunday u.s. secretary of state mike pump aoe also had harsh words for tehran. these so-called moderates within the regime were still violent islamic revolutionary. if you were the gender you only have to pick their own words for the verbal standoff comes

months after washington's decision to abandon an international deal with iran that was aimed at curbing its nuclear program relations between the two countries have to teary aerated sense. donald trump has been knowing to fire off controversial tweets to international leaders stoking fears he may escalate already tense international conflict with a couple of one hundred characters prime example north korea. the famous war of words between kim jong un and donald trump ended with an unexpected summit between the two ladies experts say this is unlikely to happen with. president rouhani has suggested peace is still possible and comments made to iranian diplomats he said americans had a choice between quote the mother of all peace and the mother of all wars with iran . for more i'm joined now by debbie's cerys of tropper she's been in

iran a lot the past years covering many stories from there to reason welcome to the studio we're on a worn trump trump flashback is this a war of words here or is the conflict likely to escalate well so far it's only words but they've been getting sharper in the past few weeks and months and this seem to be people on either side that have an appetite on escalating the conflict even further for example there isn't x. commander of iran's revolutionary guards that just tweeted in response to trump you are the one with the fifty thousand forces under iran splayed and make these sorts of meddling threats you must be careful but i personally don't think that anyone really wants to escalate this conflict and because that would mean setting the whole middle east on fire because every military attack on iran would have direct consequences on the u.s. allies in the region meanwhile we've got u.s. secretary of state went compare he's been trying to drum up support among world leaders for reintroducing the sanctions on iran what fresh sanctions mean for iran

you spend a great deal of time in the region they would make an already bad situation even worse because ever since president trump pulled out of the nuclear agreement iranians have been paying the price. but it's important to see that it wouldn't be the hardliners that run the country that would suffer from fresh consequences or. because they're rich and they've become rich during the last period of sanctions because they created base to avoid them and got rich that way it would be ordinary iranian suffering workers owners of small businesses the middle class and those are the people that supported president rouhani and wanted him to make a deal with the international community so if that now doesn't pay off then his successor is likely going to choose a very different path. my compare also referred to the demonstrations that have been going on in iran these past few months saying that people feel badly treated by the regime comparing it to the mafia tell us more about these demonstrations and

what exactly people are demonstrating for well it's been a number of different protests this year already in iran about a number of different topics for example protests about the bad economy started off in the very richest city of much shot then on to his job protests in the capital tehran protests because of water scarcity in southwestern iran and also protests in the bazaar and some of these protests people. call for changes in the regime or say they're not really happy with the regime or the islamic republic as a whole but it's important to see that encouraging these type of protests from the u.s. does not really help the cause because iran's regime routinely labels these protests started by the enemy and actively encouraging them makes that even easier and its ordinary iranians are not really waiting for president trump to liberate them because they have seen in the past decades what can happen to countries where the

u.s. are trying to achieve regime change in the neighboring countries just across the border like iraq or afghanistan and they know what happened there and more conflict and terrorism is not something they want for their country that's teresa tropper she's a reporter who spent a lot of time in iran for g.w. we thank you for being with us today studio of course the entire region is home to a major part of the world's oil supplies and there's a very valuable area which iran could easily dominate gary hart has that story. that's right we're talking about the strait of hormuz of course where a full twenty percent of the world's oil supplies pass in mega tankers that's where tensions would likely focus if president trump carries out his threats to sanction countries that import iranian oil the strait is the only sea passage linking the gulf of oman with the persian gulf a bottleneck which is currently patrolled by the iranian navy link would be easy to

blockade by just sinking a few ships at strategic points or about several other opec countries rely on the straight for their oil exports including saudi arabia and the united arab emirates if iran were to block the passage it would hurt local oil exports at a time when tehran is attempting to improve relations with its neighbors we could expect a severe spike in global oil prices if there was even a serious hint of that kind of action. now coming to the current trade tensions which do of course pose a threat to global growth that's hardly surprising to most of us but that's the message from the group of twenty meeting in argentina in a joint statement g twenty finance ministers and central bankers called for dialogue over trade disputes but the final communique failed to mention the escalating trade conflict between the u.s. and china by name so far the two sides have each imposed tariffs on each other's

goods to the tune of thirty four billion u.s. dollars on friday president of trump threatened even more duties on imports from china washington has also angered its allies including the e.u. by imposing tariffs on steel and element. there's a very benign statement from the g twenty have been mentioning the trade elephant in the room let's bring in donna cope financially correspondent who joins us from frankfurt done here but how is this going down on the markets. well they're not satisfied at all with the trade at a fan we have been all day here in the red haired precise trade war fears also geo political topics are again on the mind of investors before going to bed last night it seemed that mr trump was sending out one of his very favorite treats again with very strong rhetoric towards the iranian president rouhani in his tweet mr trump said quote never even threaten the united states again or you will suffer

a consequences the likes of which only few countries in history have ever suffered these a very strong words are reminding traders here on the floor of the fire and furious speech towards north korea about a year ago and i can tell you that is making investments here very orange so that was another tweet by president trump is that the only thing that's moving markets today while we also are talking about big changes that feared chrysler today after their boss mark your knee who has been very highly respected announce that he will be stepping down because of health issues the share price off the company was really tumbling throughout the day and now we are learning that mike manley will be the new man in charge he's fifty four years old used to be in charge of the car brand but that's not the only big news coming from today also i have three two i'll have villa he is the current european field boss he has announced that he will

because he will be stepping down as well he was very close to marchione also a possible top candidate for the job it seems that he is very frustrated that he was not chosen and because of that he is now also resigning. frankfurt thank you so. china's second largest online retailer j. d. dot com is looking to enter the european market c.e.o. richard lui told german business daily hundred plus that he will have a strategy in place by the end of the year 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 logistic centers in germany and france as part of a strategy to help it sell directly to europeans 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.d. 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. europe's largest budget carrier ryanair that's reported a steep fall in things in the first quarter net profit it dropped twenty percent the double bass line blames low affaires high fuel prices and increased pilots' wages for the drop but it still expects to reach its annual profit for cost of around one point three billion euros brian as disappointing results come after its decision to accept trade unions late last year strikes by pilots and covered through continue to take that told despite agreements with union britain unions in

britain italy and germany. and that's all we have businesses back to sara no thank you so much here are japan where a scorching heat wave has killed almost two dozen people thousands more have been hospitalized and japanese authorities say they've report of the country's highest ever temperature forty one point one degrees celsius people are doing anything they can to cool down. it's been like this for weeks. japan's summers are often hot and humid but it's been five years since temperatures were anywhere near as high as this. the government is warning people to take precautions to prevent heat stroke. japan experienced another extreme weather event last month historic flooding this month's heat wave is focusing the mind of government you say need to it's two years until the twenty twenty tokyo olympics

and paralympics and biggest challenge is how to counter the heat all. that they do that the bit the same as. the heat is also disrupting transport links here a minor train accident thought to be due to warped tracks. the japanese are adjusting their daily lives however they can splashing water on the street a tradition in japan cooling the city streets. and some commuters are opting to work from home in order to avoid the sweltering city center making do with video conferencing. so the city that its malts got it is just tiring commuting into work by the time i get to the office i am so tired i just started don't feel like working. you know that you get a lot more. and there's more blazing heat to come high temperatures across the country a forecast for the coming week. british prime minister

tourism mayor says she's confident her bracks up plan would be good for both the u.k. and the e.u. but she is prepared for a no deal brock's it she's making another attempt to win over her cabinet and is called her ministers together for a special round of talks economic growth and post for exit trade are expected to top the agenda there but the u.k.'s divorce from the european union will also have a profound impact on thousands of people who live outside of europe the small caribbean island of angola is one of fourteen british overseas territories residents there didn't have a say in the bracks vote some on the island now see the result as a chance to push for independence from london. as part of our road to breakfast series. this is it and gala.

as ship docking in britain six thousand five hundred kilometers away from the british mainland we're in the one of britain six overseas territories in the caribbean people here have to import nearly everything even their drinking water this sport is their life and so flying. is the only because this is the only board so. if for whatever reason this port closes on. angola it's just like those no. most of the goods come in via the e.u. or more precisely from a port just fifteen minutes away on the french island off some of. the neighboring islands have close ties but now brics it is threatening their relationship. we find it to be insulting because it will be affected directly. water has been soft water for years careers and we are concerned that you know that doesn't present situation

by the president in the negative so local radio host a.j. hammer is angry that i did not have a say over bricks that since residents could not vote will break that affect us he and some fifteen thousand other islanders will lose their passports should london come up short in its bid to secure a good break sit deal and will its 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 practical and that no other people should decide on your own state but then britain has been. increasing homemaker managing with i think that is it fair to us. that means he has no say because if you take the economy of bengal and you take the budget amendment. to be approved by england so we are just puppets in the end 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. it is also our largest provider of development aid with much of the money earmarked education but after breaks it is unclear whether london will step in to help. the kingdom i would say ninety percent of the people that i talk to british. have a clue that there's a place called angle so you know i really think we have a i don't think there'd be a big on the agenda of the british government. as one of the issues that they speak about and we don't have the quality of frustration our exit has reached the point of the worst something really ends are calling for independence from britain d.j. hammer is for. you'll be able to fend for yourselves because the british government is doing well and that's there's no i'm not sure i'm not sure we're getting on you

know a free associate. most and williams would have voted to stay in the e.u. the islands depends on close ties with its e.u. neighbors in the caribbean just why many here would rather be a part of the european union than britain the way. the airport is part of our special series of breck's that our correspondents are traveling around europe u.k. and beyond looking at the full impact of britain cision to leave the european union you can find more special coverage about the hopes for refs it and its challenges on our own page that's dot com forward slash tracks. you're watching doodle being is live from berlin still. come on the show as india's supreme court the songs whether to decriminalize homosexuality you look at the often say one of wife of gay men there is suffer under

a colonial era along this routinely news to persecute south. bend the to believe pleasure garden and the danish capital copenhagen is celebrating its one hundred seventy fifth anniversary this year when it first opened critics called it sinful our culture jess will be here to tell us what people are saying about it now . those stories and funny more coming up wanting to. the mysterious for me to be me this again soon. the last hour would be an optimist for golf and that's a first off then the fashion piece didn't layers of connective tissue run through our bodies for centuries they were disregarded and underestimated. the fancy

yeah. and i think one day this war will be considered unjust war. and certainly all citizens of ukraine every man woman and child. only friend their homeland if the enemy invades. no one wants russia. which is the. rebel against the mighty glad. you made for mines. welcome back you're watching. a debate over the racism has kicked off here in germany after star midfielder quit the national football team. face racial prejudice and disrespect after his meeting with turkish president russia or the one back in may. and it was his resignation

has put germany's relations with its turkish immigrant community under the spotlight it's also rig night in the debate about whether enough is being done to counteract racism in sports to the streets of berlin to find out all germans are reacting to. the ursula case has fascinated even people who aren't football fans most germans are surprised that he decided to quit the national team. for him personally it's the right decision but it's a shame that he had to resign because as someone with a migration background he doesn't feel accepted here it would be much better for rinehart grindle to resign. that. his decision to quit the national team was the right one because the pressure was just too great i think he did the right thing on the. government spokesperson demmer would only say that on the american respected as a player. he was and the german chancellor has and continues to have the greatest

respect for me. he is a talented football player who has done a lot for the german national team and he has now made a decision that we must respect the. foreign minister heiko moss said that both who quit the national team on sunday and the d.f.t. had made mistakes but he rejected the idea that the case was typical. i don't think the case of a multimillionaire living and working in england tells you much about germany's capacity for integration at swordfish right endorsement. i see very few who i would say have behaved well at all. or near most of us to fight for. the german national team has often been held up as a shining example of integration but that image is now tarnished.

all right let's check how this story is playing out on social media where message has millions of followers lish from our social media desk and monitoring things for us liz what are people on twitter saying about this. well they're actually wanted to know what other players are saying about this whole deal aside and surprisingly there aren't many reactions of from the football world in fact one of the few active players who have really come out in support of miss what is he'll is his fellow player from arsenal read and he says it's a real a that somebody who has done so much for his country on and off the pitch has been treated with such disrespect well done missed for standing up to this behavior the german players who were also representing that country together with zeal in russia they have been very quiet as well only two reactions that we've seen so far one from the other one this one right here from on to on you

a hoodie guy he says thanks to one of the best footballers i've ever played with the real ones will always remember the joy you brought jury in your career at the german national team of course he is choosing his words much more carefully a whole different tone that we're seeing is from the president of by and munich only whom is he told reporters i'm happy of the whole thing is over israel has been playing crap for years his last successful tackle was before the twenty fourteen a world cup now as you can imagine the sarah this statement has sparked a whole different debate that we don't really have time to get to interact now there's always a debate to be had on twitter has a big following how are his fans taking the news of his resignation. yeah he's actually. the player with the most fans on social media seventy million people are

following him across the different channels and in fact many of them of course outside the country and they are really siding with their star we can take a look at some of the reactions that we have seen the so for example we're seeing of people using the hash tag stand with israel or i stand with you also sharing this photo here and they say that they are saying no to racism we have a message of support here from the brazilian author of polo quale he's quoting something from the statement from israel he says worth reading i am an immigrant when we lose but then he says encouraging words here regardless of what they say you wear are and will always be a winner as he'll but of course it's not only positive reactions that we're seeing right now we have this read here from sophia to mother she is a german actress she says if you play the racism card after posing with a dictator whose values neither represent to those of germans nor those of your

parents homeland you're either getting the worst advice possible or you are a complicated imbecile soul some strong words that we're seeing right now there are strong words of course has struck this roots what about the reactions from turkey. well a lot of support we're seeing from turkey in fact he is being hailed as a hero by lots of people even politicians are joining that he bade for example i can show you this week here from the turkish sports minister he is says we sincerely support the honorable stance that brad zeal has taken and said he didn't want this thing to become political but it definitely has some political aspects to it all right and dave that's lish true and our social media thanks for bringing us up to date. well in india activists are challenging a colonial era law that criminalizes gay sex the court the country's top court has

been hearing arguments against this law and it's expected to hand down its decision over the coming weeks our correspondent sonia filmic our went to the northern city of look now to meet one man who's been fighting back at great personal cost. a nineteenth century muslim. a refuge for gay men like and spartan of over ten years it's a place they can be free from society's gaze in a country where local criminalizing homosexuality are 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 every day affairs blackmails extortion rape harris men beating forty percent of them just for thigh just because of fear that there would be outed by the police or the by the community because it is still seen as

a criminal thing other flows that only too well he runs the 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. for the schalke because what we're trying was trying to save lives and we're being imprisoned and that was a horrific because in jail for initial candy they deny drinking water we that being beaten up regularly. that left so many scars. others lost most of the state because of the beatings and the poor hygiene in prison he was shunned by his friends it took years before he dared to enter police 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 are the most vulnerable. in guevara without go along with the gong no one at this workshop on six six wants to show their. it's unfounded some of them a six will because only then would it lead to saudia of get a look at the response or pressure on me to get married as a man you're expected to do that and run the family about the 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 going to get to know my family wouldn't accept me anymore but i guess i didn't have the. added spends long at the office he draws strength from the street and to spam it especially his mother who is the huge lee support. in the evening out of this world. he goes to public talks with homosexual main consigned sexual partners and yet remain anonymous in the shadows the risk of contracting each i.v.

is high and that's not the only danger of men when they're approaching death just almost school instead will trade them off putting them in the game on the under the pretext of section three seven seven that and and use that pretext to blackmail them extort money rape them and death and why we feel that the law should go with it if while it's obvious that fundamental right to exist. amid risk india's supreme court is expected to do that of boutiques on whether the dole is constitutional. this is so much of hope in the gay community. that they may finally be able to step out of the shuttle. i'm joined now by the author of that report obviously have found a car she joins us from delhi so u.s. supreme court is looking into decriminalising homosexuality when can we expect

a verdict. that's right i mean the supreme court has heard six petitions challenging the law and now the petitioners who include students activists even a celebrity shift they argue that the snore is used to house the community it violates their fundamental rights the court has also heard from groups who say that you know 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 not or 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 law by a law 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 that appealed sexual orientation as an essential attribute to 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 and there but in recent years we've also seen some gay pride parades across the country and more openness how do you explain. 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 class plays a role that thousands of homosexuals and constrained people still face horrific

crippling discrimination and since they considered a criminal in the eyes of the north they are hugely vulnerable to police extortion 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 sort of stick my 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. well the temple way gardens in the danish capital copenhagen are said to be one of the oldest amusement parks in the world and today they're celebrating their one

hundred seventy fifth anniversary robin merrill is here from our culture does robin great to have you here this park has endured for so long what's so special about this amusement park well i think there are a number of things that are special about it the fact that it's old and has this tradition it's a bit nostalgic it's said to be the second oldest amusement park in the world funnily enough the oldest is just up the road ten kill it was yeah just ten kilometers north of copenhagen. it's called buck and evidently it was started back in the sixteenth century i mean so it's that's nearly four hundred fifty years old but the other special thing about timidly is this man cold walt disney visited the tivoli gardens when it was just one hundred years old back in one nine hundred fifty one and he took his notebook in his bed and five years later four years later another fifty five it out to harm in california near los angeles

here in the for very first disney that so it really is the gold father of amusement parks another special thing about to the ladies my favorite things the quiet places in this amusement parks and only very loud there's lots of quiet areas as well and that the they have these rides like modern amusement parks but believe it or not some of these rides are strangely enough controlled by humans as you like about to see. one of the most famous attractions at tivoli gardens is this wooden roller coaster over one hundred years old he if we trained as an operator who has to apply the brakes going downhill everything is controlled by man that's no computer no nothing but everything is a lot to me so. oh if i don't do my job we go through the wall so. locking up. the operator writes the coast eighty to one hundred twenty times

a day at speeds of up to sixty kilometers per hour. the seventy gardens are now one hundred seventy five years old in the eighteen hundreds guardians of the nation's conscience didn't notice them as sinful citizens they said were wasting money on amusements rather than per suing. but the gardens thrived and today typically is seen as an essential poets of copenhagen life. everybody in denmark and particularly if you're in the copenhagen area have childhood memories about typically. and so in many ways when you come to to come here not just for the ride or the meal or the concept but you come here actually to relive your childhood memories. and in the current season there will be

a big parade every day to celebrate one hundred seventy fifth birthday after so many years the park concept doesn't seem to have a church to relieve tracts around four million visitors annually. of course competition is different now because there are so many places to spend your time and money but basically what typically does is what we've always. been a goal is to really go a tradition that just keeps on a roller coaster. spinning. and flying high. one should mention you just sort of park any other amusement park it's right and center of town. it's right next to the main railway station and comes from hey how about that i mean it looks beautiful i see what people like about it but modern roller coaster rides and disney world for example are much faster and. i mean it

depends on. your taste is. the coast a top person it has to be said and the only road. was that one at the beginning because i like the there's a guy controlling it i think he found that or i do is sit tell you that sixty kilometers per hour. and i look at this i mean you know this is pretty spectacular much more scary what we're seeing in this example of a huge disney down one way of being thrown about high speeds personally there's nothing i want less that is a complete nightmare to me and makes me queasy just looking but of course for many people it's a huge attraction and it's the main attraction these. people lined up all. right not for robin take those pictures away please as you do if you were advising probably you would recommend to play cards people that i would i should say that they do have very fast right to rise that now as well which we did see at the end

of the report and it does have a big it is a beautiful park as well lots of relaxing areas i don't know where you look at this is this is a lovely relaxing area and to the chinese put go to over there absolutely fabulous and anyway and because of this out of the street there's a parade every day until september the twentieth all right funny to look forward to if you're visiting copenhagen definitely give the tivoli gardens a look that's robin robin merrill from our culture desk thank you very much no rollercoasters for you. well we are turning now to our business news where gary hart has an update for us kat thank you very much yes the question is did chinese vaccine producers knowingly expose hundreds of thousands of children to sub standard vaccines that's the question the chinese police are trying to answer they've launched a probe into a chunk shown chunks saying biotech over the claims that it sold dangerous vaccines to health facilities throughout the country and it's not the only company under

connecting mombasa and nairobi was completed in twenty seventeen the second leg will link kenya to neighboring uganda it cuts right through the national park. all these train tracks and noise going to make the park lose the animals and maybe reduce it to his zoos this is a natural park where animals can walk in and out they will no longer be able to do that conservationists have been fighting the railway since twenty sixteen to no avail construction of the second leg began in march despite a court order halting the project and elevated track will run across six kilometers of the park perched on pillars between eight and forty meters tall officials insist the animals will still be able to roam freely that area was supposed to be for animals a corridor for wildlife but also as development activities and i country we cannot really shy away from investing in our development the rift valley railway is

kenya's biggest infrastructure project since independence and the government hopes the faster transport link will give the economy a boost chinese railways roads and downs are rapidly changing landscapes across africa aimed at accelerating the continent's industrialization they also cement beijing's influence. the capital of lithuania could well become a role model when it comes to the mobility of the future in the u.s. many people use the mobility trusty that's clever piece of software could signal the end of city tailbacks and choking small combines public transport by car sharing into one easy to use network. to demean us to let us has an urgent business appointment and needs to get there fast traffic shows him the fastest connections the op uses g.p.s. to look ate his position and list the available transport options. us can also pay

commercial side he sourced investment and began hiring its workforce is no groans of forty five traffic got underway is google maps was launched now one of their biggest customers programming a real time map with so many different transportation alternatives is a major challenge. the biggest i would say challenge is to properly process as g.p.s. signals and it's very nice to show that on the map paul actually recall this morning so and wasn't e.t.a. expect a time of arrival to the bus stops old that takes quite a lot of efforts and we've been doing this for twelve years and we still keep updating and i'm dating and improving delegate times who does that traffic is used in over thirty cities worldwide now even in megacities like indonesia capital jakarta it's free for users. founders are also been told she's german city
