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 heavily criticized 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 and may sparked a debate that has refused to die in germany with israel being accused of helping out a once campaign for an upcoming election is all says the pat talked only about football germany teammate. seen here on the left was also at the meeting and explained his decision soon after prefer to remain silent which only brought him more criticism. i don't think any footballer should have their photo taken with any authority to whether with vladimir putin as low tomatillos did with the one leg into one and

there are enough democratic politicians to be photographed webb could. beat him if the opposition doesn't come off to germany's exit in the world cup group stage the debate bubbled up again germany team manager all of a f.a. chief. added fuel to the fire with kindle urging israel to explain his meeting with . the german f.a. have since said that they regret decision and concede f.l. yet to adequately support him but aim to continue the integration efforts and fight against racism. let's get more from chris huntington from d.w. sport welcome chris let's hear more about the death be reaction yeah you know they made their press release and they started off by faking ms it was ill for his service he did suit up for ninety two games and they did say that he played an instrumental part in their two thousand and fourteen world cup success in brazil and then they touched on the elephant in the room the photo with the turkish president they said that yes many crace questions were raised by the german media

and they conceded that they were not as professional in dealing with the matter as they could have been they took a little bit of credit for the mistakes that they did make in terms of dealing with the crisis that it did become you know and then they also touched on this accusation of racism because ms is ill talked about racism and they said you know looking at our organization we are not racist we're a very diverse organization and we have done a lot of integration work they have one program called one nil for a welcome and it's one of these integration programs and they also ended the press release by regretting the departure of ms it was ill from the national team so it looks like they were just covering themselves and trying to save face in the sense so that he didn't feel welcome in a germany jersey how do you think this and his resignation is going to affect the next generation of germany's upcoming multicultural hoons will you know first i'm

is it wasn't the only person this criticizing the german football association byron boss karl-heinz room to call them a bunch of amateurs former world cup champion philip also said something similar there is a lack of professionalism from the german football association but in terms of the upcoming young multi-cultural footballers those that look up to me as it was ill i'm sure they are tuned in to the situation and they're to cross wrote when they get to that point age and i'm sure a lot might lean away from germany and choose their other option if they do have dual citizenship and they have that in front of them because it doesn't look good and. obviously the german football association is going to have to repair this image to suggest that they are not very welcome to not ethnic germans or multicultural you know football or such as ms it was ill so it looks like it's an uphill battle if they want to remain as diverse as we've seen them you know specifically in twenty four to like chris harrison thank you ok almost

a resignation has put germans relations with its turkish immigrant community under the spotlight it's also rigged not for the debates about whether enough is being done to counteract racism in sport the w. is taken to the streets of berlin to find out how people are reacting to message decision. the ursula case has fascinated even people who aren't football fans most germans are surprised that he decided to quit the national team. him personally it's the right decisions 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 and that concludes that. the 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 come on the. government spokesperson demmer would only say that on the medical respected as a player. he was and the german chancellor has and continues to have the greatest

respect for me. he's 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. foreign minister heiko mosque 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 and although i don't think the case of a multimillionaire living and working in england tells you much about germany's capacity for integration that swordfish indorsement. i see very few who i would say have behaved well at all stuart's or near most of history from. the german national team has often been held up as a shining example of integration but that image is now tarnished.

as a political activist a member of the social democratic party here in germany welcome to d w. mesut ozil said i'm german when we win but an immigrant when we lived there was someone who came here from turkey at the age of ten does that idea sound familiar to you as a it's a struggle i had many years and also many people of my do you send us a miss because you have this feeling all the time you have to do harder much better than. the germans and to be accepted and to be integrated and. yeah and so. obviously this is been a debate since. announced his resignation yesterday tell me about the discussions how i would to if community is seeing this and many people are very disappointed how the arguments and the debates went on and it shows them in a bit about how much you try it doesn't matter how much you try to integrate into society it's never enough you come to

a certain point in mrs case was the same like two thousand and fourteen when he played where they wonder well cop he was good she was our german player now two toes on eighteen he made a mistake we lost and it's again the person not into grade it and and i thing is that what the media was saying that there were there were describing here about the issue of the german vs and it shows the people and for for example all the for the young one who seem as a role model and like you can be one person and you can be german you can be a part of to society you can be included and then but on the other side of chills again if you do mistake and that's the time then you are again being outside yes and it's like you are a guest and you are not a member of the society so when you talk about the mistake that you talk about when we say you are talking about this photo with president obama it's the photo it's

you believe it sort of been a mistake it shouldn't have been done because it's was very naive of him to think it's not political but still because that's his argument he's argument is that someone with his heritage it's respectful for me to be photographed with the president of turkey but you think that was not in this and if he should have thought about the consequences but nobody's talking really about the we're not staying on the discussion i'll finish was right or wrong it's more over that a lot of. racist debates are going on and we had today you know like all dollar a lot in a social media that we can say whatever we want and that's not freedom of speech it's more insulting and not thinking about what is it what you are doing it's not only is it you are hurting with this it's all the whole society with the background if it's turkish origin or other countries. believe me that thank you so much for

joining us very interesting thank you ivan door and let's look now at some of the other stories making news around the world in iraqi kurdistan one government employee has been killed and several wounded during a gun attack on the governor's headquarters in the regional capital have their security forces killed the three government involves fishelson described the incident as a terrorist attack not yet assign blame and no group has claimed responsibility. for a suicide bomber has killed eight people at a mosque in northeastern nigeria local media reporting that the attacker has a whole mox of islam is militant group boko haram it's the latest in a series of bombings in the states of borno and your body just as the government is trying to encourage people displaced by the boko haram insurgency to return home. police say three people at dead and twelve what would it after a mass shooting in downtown toronto a twenty nine year old gunman opened fire in the city's busy creetown neighborhood

before being killed after a shootout with police authorities have not ruled out terrorism as a motive. tensions between the united states and iran are rising again with donald trump are tweeting that iranian president hassan rouhani will face dire consequences for threatening america iran's state owned news agency dismissed the u.s. president's tweet as a passive reaction to rouhani these remarks. everyone has a history of using heated rhetoric against the united states but recent comments by president rouhani appear to have crossed a line for donald trump to michoud was you know. don't play with the lion's tail that would only lead to regret you will forever regret it for. 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 are still violent islamic revolutionary with an anti america and the west gender you only have to pick their own words for it 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 is the knowing to fire off controversial tweets to international leaders stating fears he may escalate already tense international conflict with a couple of one hundred characters chronic sample 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 tehran. 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 . of course middle east is home to a major part of the world's oil reserves in this one particular area iran could easily dominate alphas as well that's why we're talking about the strait of hormuz will where a full twenty percent of the world's oil supplies all supplies pass in mega tankers that's where tensions would likely focus if president trump carries out his threat to sanction countries that import iranian oil the strait is the only air only sea passage linking the gulf of oman with the persian gulf a bottleneck which is currently patrolled by the iranian navy the link would be easy to blockade by sinking a few ships at strategic points however several other opec countries rely on the

straight for their our 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. but trade tensions do 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 impose tariffs on each other's goods to the tune of thirty four billion u.s. dollars on friday president on trump threatened even more duty's on imports from china washington has also angered its allies including the e.u.

by imposing tariffs on steel and element. well that's a very benign statement from the g. twenty hardly mentioning the trade elephant in the room. is in frankfurt does it did it have any impact on trading today well the trading day here in frankfurt was once again dominated by u.s. president donald trump he was making investors nervous this morning already with a tweet with very strong war rhetoric towards the iranian president ronnie then the trade war remains as well another overshadowing topic here new threats of all even higher terrors for china have made traders here very relaxed and today the blue chip index dax close in the red with only twelve thousand five hundred forty eight points that's a drop off zero point one percent investors are hoping that with the reporting season that it will get in full swing this week in the u.s.

but also here in germany shares will again recover. don't you know in the u.s. tesla came under pressure today as the share price dropped four percent what's happening there exactly you can get some how they're feeling that tesla is in a rather desperate mood at the moment after the news was breaking that tesla is looking for financial help from their suppliers we saw this reaction you mentioned at the share price went down by four percent in the early trading it seems to be the case that the company asked suppliers to give them a refund of payments which were made in two thousand and sixteen in order to remain profitable and also to be able to do bigger investments in the future tesla has confirmed that a letter was sent out to suppliers but said that only they were asking for a rather small amount of money experts are calling all of this and saying and are frustrated the company has been in has not reached the winning zone since two

thousand and three and the biggest problem child for the company remains their current model three the production of this car has been more expensive than origin of the plant down here in frankfurt thank you. europe's largest budget carrier ryanair as reported a steep fall in earnings in the first quarter net profit dropped twenty percent dublin based airline blames lower fares higher fuel prices and increased pilots' wages for the drop but it still expects to reach its annual profit forecast of around one point three billion euros disappointing results come after the decision to accept trade unions late last year strikes by pilots and continues to take their toll despite agreements with unions in britain italy and germany. there are suspicions that chinese vaccine producers knowingly expose hundreds of thousands of children to possibly unsafe accedes chinese police have launched

a probe into chung chung saying biotech over the claims that it's all dangerous inoculations to health facilities throughout the country chung chang says with which had been suspended in the morning were down ten percent later they have slumped forty seven percent since mid july state drug authorities have conducted unannounced inspections on other chinese manufacturers as well some of the vaccines and questions were given routinely to babies in china as down as three months so far it appears that patients have been hot for now for some more alarming news and actually call it a national emergency germany's breweries are running out of bottles. a brewery in both of them just ask its customers for help they should bring back their empty beer bottles before they go on vacation although the deposit on bottles is between eight in fifteen cents each not enough customers return their recyclable empties

now many breweries find themselves short on bottles germans drink more beer than expected this summer first that was the soccer world cup and then the unusually hot temperatures it's been months of warm sunny weather in germany and breweries have been selling more beer than ever before the problem is not a shortage of beer just not enough bottles experts estimate though that there are two billion of them circulating throughout germany but beer drinkers might be wishing it were a few million more. fun and that's all your business has backed it up thank you so much. now lawmakers a cuba have approved a new draft constitution that is supporters say well modernize the nation while the communist party would remain the leading political force the proposed new constitution removes the aim of building a communist society it also recognizes private property where you can open the way to same sex marriage. and

historic reform the cuban parliament approved the first update of its constitution since one thousand nine hundred seventy six. 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. the new constitution allows for controlled opening up of the economy the priority for reformers stronger recognition of private property rights. and the one we already have here paid employment than private property ownership we have to recognise 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 are going for it it's been sixty years since the revolution 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 a referendum will be held in november. japan's heat wave has now climbed almost two dozen people with thousands more hospitalized hawthorne's his record the country's highest ever temperature forty one point one celsius as you can imagine people are doing everything 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 one tokyo olympics and paralympics and biggest challenge is how to counter the heat all. that they do that they did the same as. the heat is also disrupting transport links here a minor train accident thought to be due to walk to 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. sort of like it it's more it's got it's just tiring commuting into work by the time i get to the office i am so tired i just started don't feel like
