sometimes you see you. start september first. news line from berlin a warning from anglo-american democratic institutions must be respected in an interview the german chancellor says democracy is more than just a majority vote it is incomplete if independent courts and a free press aren't upheld bring you analysis also coming up. with new president. named after his narrow victory in july's disputed election you know

faces a difficult task of uniting the country after an election the opposition says it was rigged. and pope francis wraps up his visit to ireland with a huge open air mass this after the pontiff asks for forgiveness for the catholic church over its sexual abuse scandals but it's critics say the words aren't enough . money welcome to the program now we'll get to those stories in just a moment but let's begin with this breaking news assist coming in police say that they have been multiple fatalities in a mass shooting that's a video game tom and in the u.s. state of florida they do say that one suspect is dead at the scene and that it's unknown at this time if there is a second suspect the rest. in central jacksonville was hosting

a madden football video game when several shots rang out sheriff's a warning people to stay away from the area and we'll of course bring you more coverage of that story as it continues to develop. elsewhere though german chancellor angela merkel has warned against damaging fundamental democratic institutions such as a free press and an independent judiciary she made the comments in a wide ranging interview with a german public broadcaster that also touched on climate issues and foreign policy when asked about relations with the u.s. she reiterated comments she had made in the past that germany needs to take on more responsibility and forge stronger european alliances including in matters pertaining to its military speak about for some analysis on the german chancellor's interview i'm now joined in the studio by d.w. political correspondent kate brady caitiff good to have you here so i want to begin first by listening to just a little bit of what the chancellor said about democracy during that interview and we'll get back to you. the mccarthys media democracy is more than just someone when

in good majority democracy also means protecting minorities freedom of the press the ability to assemble freely and independent courts if the vent is when you are indeed dependents of the country's institutions is no longer preserved the democracy itself is no longer complete. so kate back to the chancellor very much stressing the need to uphold democratic principles why is this coming up now well this really has come off the back of a few recent events of course when it comes to upholding respect in the decisions made by independent institutions that's come off several deportations which have taken place recently despite administrative courts ruling that those deportation shouldn't in fact take place and so there is still a debate going on as to how these mistakes can be avoided in the future in germany

at the moment and then at the same time you have this question about the freedom of press here in germany and that came of the back of again another ongoing debate after a t.v. crew was actually questioned by police when they were filming at a far right rally and it turned out that of course the media outlet wasn't in fact breaking any laws so it was merkel reiterated this again saying that a poll that the aims to individual and independence of these institutions of the freedom of the press is really an intent or part of making sure that democracy is also upheld in germany something else that also came up which i thought was interesting she was asked whether she still views herself as a climate chancellor dishes to live up to that title. it's questionable whether she ever lived up to that title but it's no secret the german government has already said that it's not going to meet its twenty twenty climate goals germany has already received some warnings from the e.u. over air quality and pollution in germany but it seems maybe this heat wave that

we've had here in germany like many parts of europe this summer could now be a wake up call that germany's now experiencing firsthand the effects of climate change with drought and forest fires and also bad harvests crumble in infrastructure so this is this heat wave could now be that wake up call for handling climate change in germany another thing that's heating up is a conversation we've been my kills a governing coalition about pension reform which also featured very heavily in this interview obviously it's not the first coalition dispute that we're seeing in recent days can this. can these two convince coalition somehow end up on the same page the same voice but it was always going to be difficult it took a good six months for this coalition to even come about and it was social issues such like this with pensions and social welfare work laws that really made the two sides struggle in coming together and forging that coalition earlier

in the gear so it is going that way are likely to see more disputes like this coming over the next legislative period that we're currently in of course we especially when it comes to social issues that are always going to be miles apart when it comes to conservatives and the social democrats particularly right now when both sides of this coalition are also trying to reinvent themselves already for the next election in twenty twenty one kid brady thank you for your analysis. to zimbabwe where the president who's now been officially inaugurated has called on the country to unite it comes just a day after a court upheld was narrow election victory the result had been disputed by the main opposition party which claimed the vote was read and. tens of thousands packed zimbabwe's national stadium in harare to watch their leader take

the oath of office. there must be. as president of zimbabwe. i would be first. to zimbabwe. but despite all the pomp at this inauguration the election result has been bitterly contested only twenty four hours before zimbabwe's constitutional court confirmed that more on god quark had won the july ballot after claims it was rigged m.d.c. opposition leader nelson chamisa still won't accept the results. present no doubt what is disputed is illegal i yeard legitimate claim that our i am supposed to be leading the people of zimbabwe. post-election clashes resulted

in violence with sylvia my foes are one of those killed the president has promised an inquiry and also talked of political unity. oh merkel lutes and other political parties who couldn't get arrested for just ended a minor election we are all republicans what you know. is greater than what ever our dividers. but the president too took over from veteran leader robert mccarthy last year most know it would take more than one words to unite this country. as now look at some of the other stories making news around the world u.s. senator john mccain has died at the age of eighty one after a year long struggle with brain cancer he had a distinguished military and political career mccain was shot down during the vietnam war and held captive for more than five years has served as a u.s.

were placed in church run homes the abuse scandals have overshadowed the first papal visit to ireland in nearly forty years. and joining us now from dublin is mark vincent healy who was himself abused by catholic priests and now advocates for abuse survivors mark thank you very much for talking to us so will the pope's apology brink any closure to you. absolutely not. ologies or close i'm looking for it now to some of the other survivors who are living in racial difficulty is to address the difficulties that they're facing what their economic in terms of jobs and ploy meant whether it's homelessness whether it's self harming or suicide when you think of the seriousness and gravity of what so many survivors otherwise are living where there's an apology in words we justin's close anything so closure i suppose would be how i would see

what's granted by the catholic church to also virus not just individual but so you know it doesn't bring closure directly to me mark you just touched on this a little bit but can you tell me what life is like for the survivors here as after they had to place the social situation for example and how have other survivors reacted to the pope's visit. trance the first part. social issues that things like we know from various reports the following. you were fourteen percent were likely to be incarcerated if you are a survivor of child sexual abuse. you're also treat four times more likely to suffer repeated unemployment your socio economic group and your household income is going to be reduced by thirty to forty percent if you had a very serious indicators incarceration low incomes repeated unemployment just think how that would affect an individual on

a day to day basis and trying to also survive it's no wonder then that they have mental health problems which are exacerbated by those circumstances to answer the second part of your question the issue if you're going to tell survivors are coping with this well i go along to the magilla laundries protest today down. here in dublin i should say and a woman is there and she's holding a placard looking for justice for her son and i go to the garden of remembrance where there was another protest held by samus act because here qana gorman and i meet a seventy five year old from northern ireland who is seeking justice when he's already achieved justice he was holding in one hand his. complaint and on the other the report which had clearly identified the need for compensation and relief to those in northern ireland because of the dysfunctional government up there he's obtaining

nothing and he said he's time eat and he's a seventy five year old man he cannot wait for the justice that should be someone stepping in in the interim to ensure that those survivors are taken care of but they're not so there are a lot of issues that are still ongoing and we need to address those. unfortunately a lot that's all. we have time for but thank you very much for speaking to us mark vincent healy from dublin. match day one of the new bundesliga season is in the books and borussia dortmund have got off to an impressive start with a four one victory against lights issue earlier in the day and to new goals or mind speech to it as they also start this season on a high. new promoted fortune a dissolute off weren't as lucky they hosted oxburgh in this season opener on
