responsible for them not only did nothing they hid it all predicted an unsettling new report finds some three hundred priests sexually abused more than one thousand children in pennsylvania over a course of seven decades. plus turkey escalating a stray dispute with the united states a day after calling on people to boycott american electronic goods the government doubling down doubling tariffs on a raft of u.s. imports we asked people in istanbul what it all means for the. i'm brian thomas thanks so much for being with us grief is turning into anger in italy right now as people seek answers as to how a motorway bridge in genoa could collapse without warning at least thirty nine people are known to have died in this disaster rescuers are still searching the

rubble for any survivors italy's deputy prime minister says the company that runs that bridge should be held accountable. sheer devastation in genoa northern italy. firefighters and doctors have been working round the clock pulling survivors out of the rubble they're hopeful they'll find more. but the families of those killed are facing a grim reality. jim i started to call him forty times fifty times and then i started also to call his friend who was together with his wife and then i came to the hospital there and they said that he was no more. some relatives are waiting at the hospital for news of loved ones. and his name is not among the missing not among the hospitals patients we don't know anything i hope he's in this ambulance arriving now because i was just told that they found someone who answered

his phone last night so we hope this could be a good sign. if there were. emergency workers say the most difficult part of the rescue effort is still to come. from this evening we'll start moving some of the biggest segments of concrete from the collapsed bridge that. we're doing this in order to create new spaces for our teams to enter so they can check for other survivors but. for now the focus is still on rescue but many italians are now asking questions how could this have happened and who if anyone is responsible or just one of the questions out there today let's go straight to the scene correspondent charlotte. pills on the ground for us in genoa charlotte how's the rescue operation coming along right now and how difficult is the task that emergency workers are facing. well he's

spoken to a number of rescue workers here in genoa they are telling us that they do still have hope that most of his will be found there are of course a number of people still thought to be missing but let's not forget we are over twenty four hours now from the time that this disaster hope is starting to fade gradually that they will find survivors of course the death toll has britain's reasons today we've had more bad news of course this is a huge logistical nightmare for those on the ground just behind me trying to search for survivors there are numerous slabs of concrete that they have to be incredibly cathal with they worry of course that concrete could collapse perhaps crushing anybody that could still be alive underneath the rubble there saying that they're treating this very much like an earthquake just using small equipment sniffer dogs trying to see if anyone is still alive in the wreckage but of course there is a very real concern that as time goes on the search for survivors kids then turn to

a search for bodies ok what are local people saying show you've been out talking to some of them what's been their reaction to the co-op's of this major bridge in general. the people that we've spoken to are still very much in shock this is a huge part of the city this bridge behind me was something that people would use at least once or twice a day it was called the brooklyn bridge a generator is a huge part of the landscape here people simply cannot believe that this is happening we've spoken to one person who said that he's been evacuated from the building just that he had the collapse of the bridge he said it's not very much like an earthquake for these people this is a crisis that's still ongoing he doesn't know when he's going to return what there are concerns of gas leaks in the building behind him say this is still very much an active situation there is also a feeling among many people here of the lack of surprise while the shops they're not surprised they said that they were very worried about the safety of this bridge long before this collapse we spoke to one man in fact he said that he whenever you

drive across this bridge he would drive very fast just because. he was not it's about traveling on it ok you know that points out the issue of who's responsible for what happened you tell him government has taken the bridges private operator to task also the government's taken to task the european union what can you tell us about the dispute as to who's responsible for this. but this is the fess national crisis facing italy's new government and they really have come out fighting attributing blame to multiple sources one of them the course as you mentioned as being the company that operates this stretch of road out to study there are allegations from the government that they weren't doing enough to protect the safety of this bridge they went you know when it comes to maintenance that is something that the bodies physically deny they've said that the maintenance checks were up to date but there are big questions being asked that members of the government in fact think that the have to be high profile resignations they're saying that they want the names and said names of the people that are found to be responsible for this as you mentioned as well they think they're also being pointed

to the european union that this claim that budget restrictions meant that money was able to be spent here in italy on infrastructure there are so many people here they say is to blame too early for the finger pointing there is still people potentially in the wreckage behind me the focus here have to be on them ok and the focus will very much remain on them in the hours ahead charlie tells them to while more for us on the ground there in general thanks very much charlie. it's to the us now where a grand jury in the state of pennsylvania has published an unsettling report on the sexual abuse of children by roman catholic priests it says at least one thousand children were molested and raped by priests over a period of seven decades this report accuses senior church officials including the man who is currently the archbishop of the u.s. capitol washington d.c. of systematically covering up reports of paedophilia brought to them by their own

parishioners. in approving this report more legal three hundred clerics human have been accused of sexually abusing children in pennsylvania unchecked for decades officials say their investigation found systematic cover ups not just by church leaders in the u.s. state but also in the vatican rely on the euphemisms the church priests were raped raping little boys and girls and the men of god who were responsible for them not only did nothing they hid it all for decades. some of the victims no adults were at the press conference others described their helplessness in a video released by investigators. and one's whole day who believe me are released in night team forty eight or forty seven would have buz you. do they never heard of such a thing because they covered it up the grand jury found that more than one thousand

children were abused over seventy years they see the real number though might be much higher. let's get more on the story now from washington d.c. we're joined by our correspondent stuff in simon stephanie what has been the reaction to this report where you are. all i have to tell you shock and disgust and of course the stories everywhere online on t.v. every national network in the us is reporting about it largely in prominently. newspapers washington post three hundred priests in pennsylvania arrested for abusing children headline on the front page new york times the same thing in the wall street journal right here on the bottom addressing this story so it is everywhere and people are talking about it everywhere on the subway in their cars with their friends families and are in sheer unbelievable in disgust ok now this

report points out that priests were protected they were even promoted to scope the not only the number of the priests but the time frame involved is staggering how could this happen good question and you're basically name to abuse sexual abuse rape molestation over the over seventy years seven decades now documented those priests were protected systematically protected by the hierarchy of their superiors of higher clergy and this is how they could keep this down i can't actually go into details here because it is really absolutely disgusting but i can tell you there were cases that a priest who molested boys was it was covered up and he was sent to disney world to do the same work to work there as a priest there were priests who raped the girls and they were then

assigned to cover this in a different town but doing the same thing working with girls so a systematic large scale cover up ok these details will be emerging on moss i'm sure in the days ahead for now seven simons in washington thanks for that. in the studio with me now is the abuse ethics correspondent martin jacques hello to martin more than one thousand children sexually abused over seventy years how could the catholic church tavor up a nightmare of this magnitude for so very long i think it's very important to take into consideration that the church has had a systematic policy of essentially keeping whatever transgressions happen within the structure of the church essentially research to just equal higher that is to say that any transgression in a violation an accusation any such suspicion was to be treated only and only by members of the church there were many over the years there were many attempts and

successful attempts indeed at stopping church members that try to bring information documents etc to national authorities to the extent that benedict the former pope essentially issued an order there that anybody that was caught turning information or accusations to national authorities would be excommunicated so we have a system that essentially made absolutely sure that that information would never see the light ok that explains why perhaps serve only been to charges against the more than three hundred abusers that have the name so far are there any other reasons why there have been no further charges i think that one of the important elements is that many of his crimes took place a very long time ago so we're talking about a seventy year stand in this many years ben many of this crimes within the system for ego loss have prescribed so they can not will no longer be prosecuted it's also important to say into consideration that the church has had a either the fact that some in some cases actually the legs policy of moving people

around from one parish to be other and very often somebody that was suspected of something this moved so far away so for instance from the u.s. if you say the philippines. there are a couple famous case of this of this kind in which of course there would be no prosecution whatsoever in the birds and had. to be brought back this is a reason why i think we're seeing so very few people charge so if you persecute and we can probably expect pressure on the vatican to release documents that will tell us more i think that that's probably the hope that it would be then gain that the vatican now will be forced to actually show its cards martin thanks very much for that martin a pleasure. now for some of the other stories making the news this hour israel has reopened its only commercial crossing with gaza weeks after closing it in response to rocket attacks from the militant hamas organization trucks carrying food fuel construction materials passing into the territory and once they rely on this

crossing for vital commercial supplies. a taliban attack on a military base has killed at least forty afghan soldiers and police in the northern province of buck long local officials say militants stormed the base and checkpoints overnight before setting fire to facilities the attack comes after a massive taliban assault on the eastern city of dollars in the last week. japan's emperor akihito has expressed deep remorse for his country's role in world war two at an annual memorial event in tokyo during his three decades on the throne akihito has spoken out for peace and reconciliation he four year old was appearing at the event for the last time he's due to abdicate next april. let's go over to monica now and the latest about turkey's economic woes right i mean there seems to have been some progress at least in one direction brian because turkish president richard type add one and german chancellor angela merkel after

portably been discussing bilateral ties during a phone call today as according to media reports quoting a presidential source now turkey is currently caught up in a big diplomatic and trade dispute with the united states today and korea slammed tariffs on a variety of u.s. products instead. all over the world so close. on the streets many seem to think that a boycott of u.s. brands is the said than done it with the government would have to stop apple products from entering the country and banned their sale how's that supposed to work you can't just make the i phone disappear from turkey. if it is illegal to believe an android phone at home which will use i support that way casa could do a number on that to help fight choose the product that fits my needs but i'm not having anyone tell me what to do about it. and with an economic crisis gripping the

country many turks on exactly in a position to buy a new phone many turks appear willing to take part in the board called president on this calling for really cool for american phones with the south korean model and this one but the problem is if you're on a minimum wage it would take you four months to pay it off that might. the a price too high for even the president's most loyal supporters. this deal owes using the opportunity to promote turkish made phones shares and turkish phone maker vestal electronic has surged after everyone's call to boycott u.s. brands as we stand behind a country that's why we're recommending this phone. over the past few days anti-american protests have taken place across turkey some demonstrators followed the president's call and changed their dollars into lira.

and i'm going to see if. they have to make sure the u.s. president doesn't appear to know who he's dealing with he's facing a feel it's man the whole world knows his name. so you. know. but despite that patriotic sentiment it might be a while before turks are ready to part with arrive phones while meanwhile the turkish lira continues to recover some of its losses to the euro strops to a one year low from want to cross over to any bar to standing by for us in frankfurt stock exchange only tell me what's the connection here. well the people who are very good for their money are contagion from turkey into. the heart of the euro zone and going to leave u.s. dollars u.s. dollars. in times of trouble because it's not just the purpose of crisis in ukraine

conflict as well and some people are getting nervous and that makes the dollar more valuable and the euro goes down for the euro at the moment that's not a problem when you're a little bit lower good for exports good poker quokka. ok if the euro isn't affected that much by turkey emerging market economies all currency set me up. there all the more because they're more dependent on financing and the international markets in dollars and as the dollar gets more expensive they find it harder to service that and to pay interest for example so these countries currencies are sliding and so is pressure on raw materials and that's bad for emerging market countries through because they produce so much of it copper oil and gold all on the way down because of the situation right when he bought spain france and thank you so much. it was

a year ago that germany's second largest airline at the time evelyn had to file for bankruptcy with a bridging loan off one hundred fifty million euros in taxpayers' cash that the german government kept the ailing airline afloat for an extra two months critics of the move soon claimed that the money was just a subsidy to aid to germany's number one and that's not as it bought out. now evelyn administrators say the loan will be repaid but customers were left with few options disrupted flight schedules. air berlin was once germany second biggest airline a year ago it became history. of tons of subsidiary euro wings was among those eyeing up the spoils ryanair c.e.o. michael o'leary accused the german government of favoring love times after a takeover. all we see is a succession of german politicians falling over themselves. to award the air

burning to the fans or calling your fans a german champion and therefore because it's a german champion it should. be allowed to take over ninety five percent of the domestic market making not just a german champion but a german monster who will increase the cost of air travel for millions of germans in the end lufthansa did indeed acquire most of air berlin assets to get there with britain's easy jet it bought up an air brilliance landing rights and airplanes. air berlin staff were forced to look for new jobs many of them have found work but are now on stripped down contracts well and have more business news coming up for you very shortly but first over to brian and the latest on that fallout from a let's call it unfortunate speak speech in australia to australia now that's right monica and that country is in an opera or after a senator used the nazi phrase when he called for

a ban on muslim emigration fraser adding from the right wing katter's australian party senator shock waves through the opera house when he used the term straight out of the third rice. but i believe that the reason for ending all further muslim immigration of both compelling and self-evident the record of muslims who have already come to this country in terms of rates of crime welfare dependency and terrorism of the worst of any more group and vastly exceed any other immigrant group. the final solution to the immigration problem of course is a popular vote. although a final solution if those words sound familiar it's because that's the term the nazis used for their plan to exterminate the jews and culminated in the holocaust saw millions of european jews murdered between one thousand forty one and one thousand nine hundred five the australian senator drew swift condemnation including from a tearful and ali australia's first female muslim member of parliament. but

i'm tired of fighting. i'm tired i'm tired of having to stand up. against hate. against vilification. time and time. and time again the reference to the final solution in that speech. was appalling and we condemn that and the insult it offered to the memory of those jewish motus just as we condemn the racism don't give them what they want they want to in saudi device and the device when it happens when you hit back is exactly what i'm not hopeful. but there has to be a point when this parliament says enough and if we haven't reached that point to nosh then for some of us there is apparently no limit at all or

center adding has dismissed that criticism is quite simply ridiculous claiming he didn't know the history of that phrase and his party leader praised the speech as quote solid gold saying that he supported it one thousand percent. it's to a somber anniversary in sierra leone now where a mountainside collapse of the weight of rain one year ago tons of mud and rock crashing into homes on the slopes around the capital freetown an estimated one thousand people were killed another three thousand were left homeless the city in this west african nation had been soaked by three days of heavy rainfall that along with rampant deforestation and construction led to one of africa's worst flooding related disasters in recent times one year on the w.'s adrian krishna avel to freetown to meet a man who lost his family in the tragedy. it's

a painful journey for maliki camera who has returned to where he used to live in regent a suburb of the capital freetown. camera lived here with his family for ten years he remembers the day vividly exactly one year ago when he went to work early in the morning in the pouring rain. shortly after a powerful mudslide destroyed hundreds of homes including his own. last year at this time i was still sitting here with my family we talked to the children going out and i'll never be able to see them again courts are going over for no one is helping me i'm suffering and i was hurt so much. i was over it so i would. almost his entire family was killed by the mudslide his daughter fatima just seven months old. his wife.

the only survivor was his twelve year old son daniel who was rescued with severe injuries. cameras says he was given the land by local authorities but there was no official building permit so who's to blame. the government governments the government is to blame we weren't living in the so-called green belt where construction is prohibited so we built our houses outside the area in a section marked to save. the environmental protection agency has a different view it says the houses were built in the greenbelt illegally but the new head of the agency does admit that in the past there were hardly any checks do we're not supposed to be and that's why i say it was due to weak governance because nobody was supposed to be. according to environmental activist highest to say residents were also to blame for last year's catastrophe she says she tried to warn

people just to. weeks before the disaster. it will be a clinton downed trees and a forest beach up with dick ten people who have bony chap called the out people only at mining stones in that particular area they also do a wildfire within the forest so what's happening it's weakens this way and because these smells will weaken that's one of the reasons several factors contributed to the disaster last year inefficient off citizens that we can or the risks deforestation a massive population growth on the heels of freetown additionally climate change has been causing much less frequent but stronger rain falls that is why i hope service warn or further disasters in the future. leaky camera and of the survivors now live in emergency accommodations provided by the government they may be safe but they are an hour outside the city center. there's no running water and

no schools in the area but residents still have to pay rent. a year after the devastating mudslides camera still doesn't know what the future holds for him and his son. this is deja vu news still to come on this program india's prime minister narendra modi gearing up for next year's election with some big promises he says he'll deliver a new health system and a manned mission to space or india. and fifa chief john e. in santee no updates the ethics code for world football but has it made life easier for corrupt officials will ask a journalist with some tough questions or feel officials. and also be talking to a civil engineer asking how a major bridge like that in general walk and suddenly collapse those stories and much more after a short break. plays

w. . i've. called him back you are the interview news live from berlin our top story this hour at least thirty nine people now confirmed dead after a highway bridge collapsed in the italian city of genoa rescuers are still searching for survivors at this hour as authorities seek to determine who was responsible for this tragedy. well what can make a major structure like them are on the bridge in genoa suddenly break up and collapse like this was it a flawed design faulty engineering a lack of maintenance or some kind of freak accident let's consider these examples or some insights from the past back in one thousand nine hundred eighty the tacoma narrows bridge in the united states lasted only four months on a windy november day the bridges roads span began moving and twisting its collapse

eventually years valuable insight into how to build better suspension bridges. then in two thousand london's millennium footbridge closed just two days after opening after unexpected swaying another phenomenon here pedestrians were falling into step with each other making the swaying more severe and just last week another motorway bridge tragedy this one in italy as well this time in the city of below nya after a massive pile up of trucks followed by a huge explosion that highway collapsed was at the heat and force of the explosion was it a bridge in need of repair all that investigation is still underway while as the search for survivors in genoa continues let's bring in civil engineer stephan marx from live this university in hanover stephan thanks for being with us this morning you know the marandi bridge has been repaired and renovated

a number of times since it was constructed in the one thousand. sixty's is that a usual kind of procedure that say i cannot talk about the miranda bridge for civically but to repair and to maintain bridges is a usual thing. during operation of bridges ok no there have of course been bridges all over the world that have stood far longer than the miranda bridge what could make a bridge of this particular design collapse let's say more on the bridge on a very heavy loaded highway and when we have seen pictures about the direction time it was just a single call on top of the bridge and nowadays we have lots of trucks lots of very very heavy freight trucks and there are a number and. their way of these trucks quits bring one part of the problem ok so the weight of the trucks as a civil engineer what do you look at in terms of bridges if you were going in to

build a bridge like the miranda bridge in genoa what would you pay special attention to the problem purpose in that kind of bridge. the bridge has no almost no redundancy so we have only this four cable supports the bridge deck which all covered it with concrete so you cannot see really during maintenance work is there something wrong and if such a cable fails the bridge will collapse for sure if you look at other bridges and you ask for the modern design of purchase in cables they bridges you have much more cables so if one cable fails the bridge will not collapse this is just an assumption you have but this could perhaps be one reason so the combination of. hardly to inspect with such a single point of failure which leads to disastrous cut the straw of so perhaps this combination could be one reason ok that's one reason when you look back to

construction techne. one hundred sixty four bridges and compare them to construction techniques today other other methods that are used today that weren't used when this bridge was built you know what we can say is the britches from the sixty's so this was quite the pioneer time. we had not much experience as with pre-stressed concrete bridges that time and so there's the structures quite special let's say almost an experimental structural type we have a lot of these types from that time and. this lack of experience from that time leads to problems we have in many structures today so might be time to review all these bridges built in the one nine hundred sixty s. in europe and around the world stefan marks from live this university in hanover thanks very much for coming in and i come thank you. it's to india now where prime

minister narendra modi has announced the launch of an ambitious new health care system he made his comments in an address to the nation working independence day the new system dubbed modi care instead provide medical insurance for more than one hundred million poor families but critics say it is unclear how it will be financed in the same speech the prime minister also said india plans to send a manned mission into space by twenty twenty two. the sleeping elephant is now awake the words of indian prime minister narendra modi as he unveiled his vision for the world's largest democracy seventy one years after the country's independence modi has his sights set on space and a bold healthcare scheme. in a key speech ahead of next year's elections he outlined the largest state funded health program the world has ever seen. a hundred

million families that is nearly five hundred million citizens will each receive five hundred thousand rupees nearly this is the health insurance scheme we would give to this country the program dubbed moti care is set to begin this september it ain't is to bring quality health care to millions of impoverished people some ninety percent of the population rely on public hospitals which are severely under-resourced but there are doubts about how the large scale program will be implemented and financed. modi used his speech to announce a second ambitious project the launch of india's first manned space mission by twenty twenty two a feat only three other countries have achieved. but not everyone is buying it some critics see modi's plans as populist measures aimed at securing his reelection.

ok let's get more on this now from the views are she's mahato following the story for us from delhi good morning our change with millions of people in india struggling right now just to feed and house their families is their strong support for a manned space mission in india. well i don't really think that there is i mean i don't think the type of people you're talking about really care or even comprehend what it what a mission like that really means. and this certainly has been. conversations around this before about you know whether india should be investing so much into space exploration with these kinds of societal issues and development issues that exist at the same time the indian space agency has always kind of prided itself on on providing cost alternatives to some of the other superpowers that exist so when india first launched the satellite to orbit around mars in two thousand and

fourteen it was actually the cheapest interplanetary mission of its kind that the world ever seen but i think what's what's more important is. i'm not really sure how much it really matters if there is if there's public support for this at the end of the day what what today was was really a campaign speech in a way for most of the this is his last independence day speech as prime minister for this term at least and we're having general elections coming up next year so this was about this thing achievements making promises and tapping into a sense of patriotism and and what better way to do that than to talk about someone going to mars with a flag. also reached out to the weaker members of the economy he announced an ambitious government health care plan that will benefit five hundred million of the nation's poorest citizens this is the funding there for a program like this. well you have five hundred million people is the aim of

this of this plan but certainly there are concerns about whether the government has got the numbers right not just in terms of money but in terms of whether the infrastructure is there even if if this kind of insurance can be given to five hundred million people are there other enough beds are there enough doctors are all the states ready to roll this out so there's serious concerns and and ballots being raised about that ok now the international monetary fund talking about money forecasts that india would drive the global economy for the next thirty years does this economic success guarantee modi a new term. well i'm not sure about that i mean there are certainly people who would who would question how much of that that assessment actually has to do with both the just the pure numbers of india's demographics the people who will be driving the global economy in that sense. i think when it comes to being reelected and given

a second term it's going to come down to how he is judged on various policies and that's why you see today you saw him him listing certain achievements like the goods and services tax something that he instituted last year which he feels would have set the ground for that kind of economic growth but again there are a lot of critics of that of that plan and a lot of his other policies so what it's going to come down to in the end is what people think about about how those policies of benefit are not benefited india. she's joining us from delhi thanks for that. this is d.w. news still to come on the show german summer music festivals getting caught up in the israeli palestinian dispute how the boycott israel movement is affecting the arts. versus over the market and the rise of the robots robots that sounds almost three happening the add new world world robot conference has just opened in the chinese capital beijing and it brings together

sixty percent potential buyers from australia and singapore are exempt from that ban. all right it's time for a little bit of sports and brian can tell us about a change to football's rules that's been called into question an important rule change by fever first going to get sued to some tennis before we hit that monica ok we're back with the move as monica mentioned by football's government governing body may make it easier to get away with bribery that according to the associated press and what's more it might make it easier for fever to punish its critics quietly release an updated code of ethics in recent days that has among other things a new offense defamation that also leaves out completely the word corruption now that's a word that has dogged the organization in recent years the first president johnson tino took office with

a promise of overhauling the institution that puts on the world cup and overseas football on every continent on which it is played. for more on this i'm joined by the reporter that broke this story for the associated press rob harris covering global football for a.p. thanks for being with us rob what does this code of ethics mean for the game of football especially for corruption in football. well the removal of the word corruption is a nice symbolic position at the faith for include such as you just why there was a need to remove it i mean the significant things about the contained in the section on corruption still do exist right reus the an offense financial misconduct is an earth an offense as indeed is match fixing although even within the next section of the code there is a significant change because previously could uncover corruption and

bribery dating back decades and they'll impose punishments now there is a statute of limitation meaning that actually if they don't discover the bribery within ten years then they can prosecute the case again and one very experienced writer call this a breathtaking act of p r lunacy coming from president clinton his office is not a good way to describe us. well very often we've seen during infancy now it's range is now two years old since replacing sepp blatter they've made quite a few changes look quite furtive in secret said rather than being assertive so rather than presenting the case themselves why the change the home it took basically it to be uncovered all these changes when i spotted them and compared to contrast with the previous version twenty twelve all these changes and as you say particularly when you see something like defamation that's been added there will be concerns because faith for only expanded on what definition defamation means in

that legal jurisdiction and in a statement yesterday and they said they will include bans for people who disseminates unfolds information that causes others harm now i've seen in the wider political debates over the use of the term fake news which is used in all manners different context how you determine false information is very subjective potentially and that's something that the ethics committee would have to determine and committee whose heads in france you know help to a point after ousting their readers that is ok it's not this is the false information issue there are also questions about even how this document was obviated including criticism about a very high level of secrecy surrounding that. yeah i mean there is a lot of secrecy around this new feet are they like to betray themselves i mean no more so perhaps johnnie and tina its plans to bring in new competitions at bigger club world cup

a new global nation and he went out and found what he said these twenty five billion dollars of investment from various countries presented this at a meeting in secret in march and it was only that leaked out that when you try to keep it under wraps why did four world wouldn't even know which countries were potentially investing in this so it's a wider question of just how transparent they are is that they quick to claim the new transparency in the post sets are rare but their actions don't always live up to their rhetoric ok well let's talk about actions has responded to its critics. well i think you have to say you know fever has is changing to a degree there are. you know some of the old practices have been eradicated i think there is no way and us the fact now that they and perhaps can't get away with turning a blind eye to some of the wrongdoing of the past and then you know we saw one person as shake up madden and asian people official who when some bribery

allegations emerged around him within the u.s. legal jurisdiction about a year or so ago it seemed he was encouraged to and not seek reelection but then on the other hand we've just come off the world cup in russia and there was a course that huge doping scandal around russian sport which meant yet and did implicate football and indeed on many particular batali mako who was the sports minister as head of the football association in russia and then recovery or chain called the whistleblower directly accused of intervening in an interview with me in february but although he stepped down from his official positions favors not continue pursuing any cases and i was never actually imposed any sanctions or taking a group actually going to those behind that dope you focus on russia ok a lot of questions still out there about viva rob harris for us the reporter who broke this story for a.p. thanks very much for being with us rob. it's just. that

well it is the summer music and theater festival season here in germany this year there are some controversy or calls during the season for israel boycott those calls if i can festivals now underway in germany to talk about that we have david leavitt's from the cultural desk today david. david what's happening here can you walk us through what's going on it was first of all the debate centers on the b.d.s. movement this is the global nonviolent protest movement to boycott divest from and same ssion israel to pressure to end its occupation of arab territories and with the movement calls israeli apartheid now critics of this movement you as you know say it's anti-semitic because it challenges israel as a jewish state now there are actually two cultural festivals here in germany that are being impacted one is the one who would be an olive this is a huge culture festival it got into hot water because it invited

a scottish pop band known as the young fathers to perform the young fathers were big in the news last year when they called on radiohead to cancel their israeli concert their big in the b.d.'s movement and their participation in this festival caused some alarm here in germany with some german officials condemning the b.d.s. as anti-semitic the festivals director came under a lot of pressure here in germany she ended up disinviting the young fathers and then came an international backlash with intellectuals top intellectuals an artists saying that this was stifling freedom of expression ok and they were invited back then they were invited back for ok right now there is minute and now you're saying there's two festivals you mentioned the one the hollow what's the other one the other one is a smaller festival called the pup couture that's here in berlin it's starting today and it is facing a b.d.'s led boycott for the second here. after once again cancelled their

participation in berlin's pop cultural festival hating the b.d.'s movement's call for a boycott because of israeli embassy sponsorship of israeli participants the festival head says the withdrawals make dialogue impossible that's harder and this is a pity because that's just the dialogue we're looking for that we cannot have it. is not dialogue. the root has also been caught up in the storm the festival director stephanie come up invited scottish band young fathers b.d.'s supporters who boycotted the festival in twenty seventeen after much criticism car uninvited the band but this only intensified the raul car caved in a second time but the young fathers decided to stay away anyway the boycott divestment and sanctions movement seeks to isolate israel economically culturally and politically they make no exception even for israeli government critics like

writer david grossman. in the places where he. is calling in so many were. prominent artists including musician roger waters support the b.b.'s and have themselves been put in the firing line of the anti semite school fighters for the freedom of palestine israeli writer and peace activist music can see a positive side to the boycott calls it's a struggle without killing anyone and i believe that everybody could should be left to open the boxes to talk to us questions to doubt and to learn more about it. but for a dialogue you have to come together israeli argentinian can talk to daniel barenboim seeks dialogue and reconciliation his west. easton divine orchestra unites young

arab and israeli musicians but has been criticized by the b.b.'s full promoting normalization with israel and breaking the cultural boycotts. and then you know barenboim is of course a huge figure here in germany not seen as a peace figure he's seen that he said that he sees a place for b.d.s. and that's even though b.d.s. has made it practically impossible for him to pour perform in the middle east at all ok now barenboim you know performing a lot here in germany where here in germany is country working very hard of course overcome its history especially the holocaust it's now a close ally of israel one of israel's closest allies matter of fact how do these factors figure in and influence the b.d.s. debate here well i think that you can't get past. a lot more resistance to b.d.s. in germany than in other european countries and that's because of germany's history that's because when b.d.s. movement don't buy from israelis a lot of germans hear echoes of the nazi thing don't buy from jews there's

a real sense here in germany that the country is a special responsibility toward israel and often there's a sense that criticism of israel is anti semitic now this current debate is opening up that question once again people are a reexamining this can germans criticize israel without being anti-semitic under what circumstances or what circumstances there are of course very strong answers to those questions grossman addressing some of them on both sides and especially in pop culture and let's not forget this debate is not going away israel is actually going to be hosting the euro vision next year so we're going to be seeing this coming up even more and pop culture i'm hearing a lot more voices from b.d.s. across europe and here in germany ok we'll be certainly hearing hearing a lot more about this david leavitt's for now from the culture desk thanks a lot. this is the news live from berlin we have more of course our web site www dot com for now though for me ryan thomas and the entire team thanks for being with us.
