8:02 pm
discrimination following exit from the world cup the midfielder has roots that he faced racism and disrespect from the media after he was picked as president. back in may then he faced criticism football association after the teams to support world cup performance. didn't mince his words his three part statement released in english on social media not only announced his retirement as a member of the germany team but also heavily criticized the german football association known as the d.f.t. and its president. he called out for negative comments on islam and multi-culturalism words have sparked a wave of reactions in germany. to t.f.p. have said they regret decision and concede their failure to adequately support him but aim to continue their integration efforts and fight against racism. chancellor angela merkel spokeswoman said the german leader had kind words for. the german
8:03 pm
chancellor has the greatest respect for him as 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. but the german government appears divided over the controversy because. i don't think the case of a multi-millionaire living and working in england tells you much about germany's capacity for integration. endorsement. says of racism on a daily basis need to be taken seriously it's not just israel but also people involved in sports you suffer this we should really do something about it in turkey israel has received overwhelming support the turkish justice minister said the footballer's departure is a goal against the virus of fascism. an advisor to turkey's president of the one said had taken a brave stand there is no excuse for racism. measured israel's comments are likely
8:04 pm
to add to an already raging debate in germany over integration multiculturalism and the country's relationship with its immigrant population. let's get more on this from across harrington from data resource and karim from d.w. news welcome both but start with you across the german football association that if b. seems to have sidestepped mezzo as its criticisms of its president right now grendel by saying that the organization is not racist yes they did say there believe me touch on something they did mention prior to disclose that you know saying that they're not racist they did say that you know they acknowledge the fact that their self critical and didn't really handle the post photo situation properly but in regards to the races claims are saying the d.s.p. has been long associated with our ambassadors we have a very diverse situation over here and more importantly that they have an integration they've worked on integration efforts in germany they have one program
8:05 pm
called one zero to open arms a campaign that really encourages integration and things like this so they're basically covering you know their tracks in just trying to let the world know that you know mesut ozil is his comments might not be taking. against the way he intended it in terms of the german football association thing to hear that because i talk to the people in the streets in berlin and they say they find it very good from as it also that he spoke out and he talked about races and what's happening in the in the food will team and they said day they think it's very healthy that he's the one who's talking about it and dish should be something done according what they want not what you said they funded not enough not clear enough from their sides because the question when i talk to the people who said why would measure to say this if it didn't happen why would he say so this was like an open question ok
8:06 pm
and when i talked and i talked to different kinds of people i talked to german people german that have backgrounds also in turkey and day were the ones saying when through what. as it said two to two yesterday they feel themselves very identified with what he said so it is a part of what he was saying was that he is german when things go well that is what they are doing say is go go bad and this is a yes yes yes there is a kind of gap because what they are saying in d.d. and national football team and d.d.d. association they have very nice campaigns no to racism but everyone is also asking even if the president said he rejects this but what about the other team they always said it's the munch eft it's the team but only to know what tang is the only one who said something and he said like take care my friend i think on twitter but the rest of the team who want to tell you they have said nothing they were going to sit in the street there is a serious discussion yes but the d.s.p.
8:07 pm
president right. it's i think it's worth pointing out that he has made his feelings about integration of multi multi coaching quite clear in a formal career as a politician yes back in two thousand and four he addressed a parliament here in germany same that multiculturalism in reality should be everything meshed together but it's a myth it's not real because how it plays out in the streets in germany you know germans tend to stay around germans and muslims say are muslims and so forth so there's some kind of mano culturalism going on here in the streets of germany and even later about ten years later the green party a politician came out recalling a speech grindle gave in two thousand and thirteen and he said every time he thinks of it it's cringe worthy you know because he felt that his rhetoric say the idea that no such thing of door citizenship exists it is going to stare into saying this you know according to the green party politician and basically saying that the
8:08 pm
speech was tantamount to a far right propaganda speech and this is before you know the far right political group in germany really existed really had he lost ground so i sort of just thought we're going to have to wrap this up but. i'm thinking. where what does it say about the state of integration here if a german player with turkish roots does not feel welcome for germany you know since yesterday i was i'm thinking so much about integration in germany and is it was the person who's like the he stands for integration he's the person who played for the national team he got every possible integration a worse there you can get he is someone who is in i do for a lot of people and know someone like i said i don't you feel like an ally and that's that's for me it's a big question mark it should be a big wake up call for the politicians and for the society in germany and that's what also people said well it's not very hard in my opinion but that's what you
8:09 pm
hear on the street that they should be something done they should discuss they should take it very serious a survey talking about it now and. kareem across hundreds and thank you for your work of. tensions between the united states and iran on the increase again with donald trump tweeting iranian president hassan rouhani he'll face dire consequences for threatening america iran's state owned news agency has dismissed the u.s. president's tweet describing it as a passive reaction a to remarks the president rouhani has made. 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. the u.s. president took to twitter to send a warning to tehran using capital letters for emphasis never ever threaten the
8:10 pm
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 ai 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 agenda you only have to take their own word 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 to rewrite his sense 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 . let's get more mission leader with washington bureau chief alexandra. welcome
8:11 pm
alexandra so we had the very harsh beach from our secretary of state mike crapo and this furious tweet from the president is this thing the opening of a new a u.s. diplomatic offensive against iraq. i would say that it's clearly shows that trump at new thracian is trying to increase pressure on iran only three weeks before reimposing the first round of new banking sanctions that. were not in place under the run deal so increasing tension increasing pressure on the run that was certainly the goal of secretary pompei was speech the president himself was presumably responding to the remarks made but made by the iranian president and as we could see here in the in the reports he said that the u.s. is risking all wars if it's going to attack iran however i think that we have to
8:12 pm
have a look at the broader picture the white house right now seems to be under siege the president is frustrated because of the growing criticism after his summit with the russian president because the russian investigation is going on and he also seems to be frustrated that there is little the program progress on north korea so many here say that it's he's way off destructing destructing the attention from these issues as well when you mention the u.s. banking sanctions and it's quite interesting is that since since the president abandoned the iran nuclear deal u.s. diplomats have been trying to gain international support for sanctions against iran how successful have very being. well when you talk to u.s. diplomats here they will tell you that it's just a matter of time when everyone and also european allies will see that that was the right decision to pull out of this ukraine runyan nuclear agreement however we have
8:13 pm
to say that they also see problems on the ground when we talk about our sanctions about sanctions that are going to be imposed in november aiming and cutting off almost all of iran's oil markets so the you ass has to see that so many u.s. allies or. states relying on all the oil from iran are not able to cut their imports from iran and that's something that the administration now has to acknowledge and so how much support does the president have for his toughening stance on iran. when we look at opinion polls. two thirds of americans said they they do not approve of pulling out of the agreement it was in my two thousand and eighteen some this year and we have to say that we do not see any reasons on the ground ground why the u.s.
8:14 pm
is now safer that it was before pulling out of this agreement however we have to say that the president has to support of his advisers many of them like for example his national security advisor john bolton are known as hawks on the iran i was on the phenomena i saw the white house in washington thank you. rising tensions between the united states i'm to iran have course process oil to rise to the humphrey kind of smoke thank you very much yes indeed one area in the middle east which could find itself in the midst of those tensions between the u.s. and iran if donald trump made good on his threats to sanction countries that import a radiant oil is the strait of hormuz now twenty percent of the world's oil supplies paulson make a tank goes through that channel of water the strait is the only sea passage
8:15 pm
linking the gulf of oman with the persian gulf so it's a bottleneck which is currently patrolled by the iranian navy now the link would actually be easy to locate and although the u.s. has threatened massive retaliation should that happen a blockade would also hurt all the opec countries including saudi arabia and the united arab emirates at a time when techron is attempting to improve relations with its neighbors and we could expect even more severe spike in global oil prices if there was a serious prospect of that kind of action ok now the source of tension for the white house now g twenty finance ministers and central bankers have called for global rules to tax the digital economy the idea was floated as meeting of the world's twenty largest economies in the argentinian capital born as it is on sunday and it's not likely to go down well with us tech giants or the government. it's an idea the e.u. started toying with earlier this year digital companies should pay their fair share
8:16 pm
of taxes during last weekend's g twenty meeting e.u. finance leaders made sure the proposal was on the docket in order. like every other company tech giants like google are acquired to pay taxes on their profits however many use creative accounting to avoid paying their full share. by paying exorbitant royalty fees to one of their subsidiaries for example some companies can significantly reduce their tax burden in other words google can pay its own subsidiaries for the right to call themselves google and write the cost off that's why the e.u. wants to start taxing the revenues instead of the profits that large digital companies earn in european countries. the new measure would force digital companies with significant presence in europe to pay a three percent tax on the e.u. revenues brussels hopes the tax will raise five billion euros a year. tech giants already pay disproportionately low taxes and the money
8:17 pm
they earn isn't accounted for in president trump's favorite obsession the u.s. trade deficit he claims the e.u. has a one hundred fifty one billion dollar trade surplus with the united states but his calculations only look at the exchange of goods taking into account all monetary flows including services and revenues of multinational corporations the e.u. chalks up a deficit of fourteen billion dollars although e.u. officials say the digital tax would create more fairness their u.s. counterparts have already signaled that they would interpret it as an attack on america. now europe's largest budget carrier ryanair has reported a steep fall in its earnings in the first quarter net profit dropping twenty percent the dublin based line blames lower fares higher 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 ryan as disappointing results come off his

8:19 pm
us here in germany somebody even called it a national crisis the country's breweries are running out of bottles. one brewery has even asked its customers for help it wants them to return their empty beer bottles before they go on vacation. although that is possible in bottles as between eight and fifteen cents each not enough customers are returning their empty recyclables many breweries have been caught out short on bottles germans drink more beer than expected this summer first there was the soccer world cup and then the unusually hot temperatures it's been months of warm weather in germany and breweries have been selling more beer than ever before the problem is not a sort of beer just not enough bottles to put it it experts estimate that there are two billion beer bottles in circulation throughout germany but beer drinkers might be wishing for a few million more. to fill now concerns about briggs further afield helen thank you yes britain's prime minister says she's confident her plan for britain's

8:31 pm
social media desk has been following the reaction of that welcome list what do you say. thank you bill so we were really interested in seeing what his fellow football players are saying about him deciding to resign from the german national team and i have to say that the active players have been really quiet throughout the years twenty four hours where we've seen the whole really play out very few are coming out in support of we have for example his fellow arsenal player here buried in he says it's so real that someone who has done so much for his country on and off the pitch has been treated with such disrespect well done missile for standing up to this behavior german player is also rather quiet we haven't told you who to get here who was in russia together with israel he says thanks to the one to one of the best footballers i've ever played with the real ones will always remember the joy you brought us during your career at the german national team but then we also
8:32 pm
have somebody striking a rather different tone we have only heard as here the president of by and munich also very influential in the german football scene he told reporters i'm happy the whole thing is over israel has been playing crap for years his last successful tackle was before the twenty fourteen world cup and in fact this is a statistic that has been debunked by our sports team but that is he was also getting a lot of support from turkey where you even see politicians like the sports minister there posting this picture saying we sincerely supports the honorable stance that. zeal has taken and of course in a statement said that he never intended for this photo to be a political bad as we see it definitely has a political dimension to it and that message has a huge social media following her or his fans reacting. absolutely in fact there's
8:33 pm
seventy million people who are following him across various and networks on the social media and that is maybe why he decided to issue a statement directly online he didn't call for a press conference oiled seeing lots of people showing solidarity with mess with israel in fact we saw this picture being used by a lot of people there using the hash tag stand with zeal also saying no to racism there we have messages really from across the world for example here from brazil. quoting something that was in there is the of the statement saying regardless of what they say you where are and will always be a winner. but then we're seeing that he made also here back in germany not everybody really supporting going back to the photo that he had taken with add on here for example is sophia to my life she is a german actress and she says if you play the racism card after posing with a dictator whose values neither are present to those of germans nor those of your
8:34 pm
parents homeland you're either getting the worst advice possible or you are a complete imbecile so we're seeing very strong words there it is an emotional debate that we're seeing online about then other people also asking for a more nuanced debate to they say that ok maybe it was wrong for him to pause on that photo with their two one but then on the other hand also the way he's been treated by the german f.a. that is also not right the show thank you our system i said that snakebites killed ten thousand people every year two thousand and seventeen the world health organization listed snakebites as an eclectic tropical disease recognition means more attention is being given to the issue especially in developing countries and kenya misconceptions have resulted in mismanagement of state by spy communities and health services but what to know vessel unique snakes but is seeking to change the situation. a decade ago
8:35 pm
benjamin mensah had a close call with a snake despite that he still has a strange liking for the creatures who are. still i was walking home when i was nine and stopped by a farm to pick some cast your nuts over venomous snake bite me on the leg i wasn't scared shitless i went to my parents told them what had happened and they used something called the black star to heal the bite used to be. the nineteen year old is intending to snake farm on the kenyan coast here he's learned that science is far better than traditional medicine or healers when it comes to treating snake bites but he's also learning that being a snake handler is not an easy job. this snake farm is home to over two hundred snakes like route here who lucky for me is non-venomous but majority of the snakes here are venomous and they're used to create antivenom that
8:36 pm
save the lives of hundreds in the community around ha ha ha ha help me i'll just show you that in the very front here. we could just. see see the let's see those studs. by a can direct a roy and taylor is far less than most when it comes to handling snakes here in the more experienced handlers at the farm extract the venom from the snakes in a process known as milking. it's then taken to the south african institute of medical research the only facility in africa that produces antivenom. they makes three snake ante venoms one is a poly very live that covers all the cobras all the large vipers and all the members so it's it's really the most important antivenom for us to stock in kenya because it covers all spinning cobras and it covers our profit is which cause more boys than anything else by
8:37 pm
a can then buys back the antivenom and supplies it to those who need it in surrounding communities this is because most medical facilities in kenya stocked the wrong antivenom usually imported from india experts say the indian antivenom is in most cases ineffective this nifty india and the six hundred canisters fairly are different because at the end of the graphical differences the differences in terms of the pre that have found it to even a small for us to have a very effective anti panel we should be able to make our own antivenom based on vellum that we harvested from this news that fall within can you put that we you try in as much as possible too much will depend on the and to be not to depend on such easy fondu specific needs there isn't much data on just how serious the state by problem is in developing countries right but experts say those who are
8:38 pm
most affected are children and farmers in arid and semi arid areas bio ken is hoping to have all hospitals in kenya stocked with the right antivenom so that the snake bite victims like benjamin mensah can live to tell the tale. china is looking for more investment opportunities in east africa have a home for us the details that's right feel an official visit from the chinese president is underway in rwanda and a flurry of new trade agreements have bit have marked xi jinping trip announced the first of a visit by chinese president to rwanda and she being stopped in a small the small african nation on his way to the bric summit all emerging economies in south africa random president paul kagame they praised china for its treatment of the continent as an equal china's become africa's biggest trading partner in a major finance of infrastructure projects they critics of a sale some projects on human rights and environmental grounds.
8:39 pm
and saw more about that now i'm joined on the line from kigali by rwandan economist teddy covered rocco rock thanks very much for being with us now this is the first time the chinese president has visited rwanda economically speaking what do you think the chinese president and chinese investors will want to achieve there. yes well this is it is it is a unique outstay because if you see the business relationship with of run the trial it's very useful the trial is the first expert to finish and if it is what all it is in for and it's already for under its belt basically it's all the east african community and africa through its out of both us in the little tricks for the office of but most importantly china's existing will for such
8:40 pm
a development in social projects and old school mitigation so it's how of a very meaningful to visit try and support different development projects as you point out as china has you know invested and committed to investing in many areas in rwanda what do you think rwandans think about this investment whether they run that are very happy because there are so many different structure developed the budget which we do tackle things like roads things like. access to water things like. that at the car just to run out of it or have people full for the cooperation between the countries in the china but mostly i think the business community from china is also very welcome because london see them as investor people are coming to invest to create strove for for the citizens so they're very well seen and that
8:41 pm
said there is of course the debate between economic and geopolitical commentators about the merits of chinese versus western involvement with africa one argument being that china and its human rights record can be problematic out of cooperation works between china and rwanda to date. i think the comparison between russia and china has been different if you compare to their western countries these are the two the run competition because china come for business it's more or less a relationship based on that respect on or the mitchell agreements and chinese not involved in the any politics and the other thing is you know the government decide its priorities that are being dictated by the donors because. the kind of relationship or donor relationship with china is more flexible china doesn't
8:42 pm
restrict it doesn't have a description and the other thing is they don't take on more human rights issue very less because for chinese what matters is how the country wants to take for them to develop and so from that perspective. jamie's in the western countries are very different right rwandan economist at teddy kava recut thank you very much your perspective you're welcome. by. well one of the infrastructure projects china raised assuming elsewhere in africa is the kenyan rail link which will run across the country between an indian ocean port of mombasa through to neighboring it you get there it also comes three national park territory and have come in for some since the criticism. room freely barely seven kilometers outside kenya's capital nairobi but they're unrestricted lifestyle is in
8:43 pm
danger. kenya has contracted the china roads and bridges corp to extend and modernize its main railway line. the first leg 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
8:44 pm
