i feel gail welcome to the program and historic decision india's supremes court has unanimously overturned a nineteenth century law that made gay sex punishable what up to ten years in jail one judge said the ruling i would pave the way for a better future and india's gay community is celebrating. ah a roar of joy as they hear the news india's supreme court decision on thursday is history in the making. and i was really amazingly going to body i don't know if it is going to do that if you mean i didn't mean it if it made my move but you had to be very very fundamental in . the colonial era law formally

known as section three seven seven had first been implemented in the nineteenth century it had made gay sex punishable by up to ten years in jail activists have been fighting for gay rights since the one nine hundred ninety s. suffering several defeats and reversals in court along the way. it has amazing feeling in seventh heaven that. it is. and this judgment has need. of what it really was. the kind of judgment they have for now that. one of the point they get is that he said it is the responsibility of the government to edit. and let the general public know that this section is a little more credible and sense of by the general public. legally the situation

for l.g.b. t's has improved in india but many of them say this is only the beginning on their long way towards the goal of equal rights after years of campaigning and long court battle india's top court has finally legalized homosexuality it's a big victory for activists and huge relief for hundreds of thousands of gay and lesbian people across india in a country homosexuality is not understood or accept. but. many here see that legal accept is the first step towards ending the how distant and persecution of the gay community. in india's conservative religious society prejudice against gays is still very deeply entrenched the self-proclaimed goal of many the rights to same sex marriage is still a long fight away. when the saying is from the homes of trust in mumbai india's

oldest gay community based organization he joins us from delhi welcome to the let's get your reaction first to this verdict. well i'm super excited for you come this war dick because the much awaited verdict that has come to us is a very very long journey almost like seventeen years have gone and today the day has come where we can feel very much part of the country like a free citizen there is no fear of his no threat of three seventy seven. super excited to hear that you know of a supreme court has given us has granted the right of equality superduper excited so the law changes we saw in the report society not quite so forgiving how do you think indian society will react to this. when we always see that changing in the law decriminalization is the first step. but this is

a very very crucial step one of this is being done the next is to reach out to stakeholders very interestingly in this judgment by the liberal judges that we need to create an environment you need to create an environment where the community could feel comfortable we need to sensitize the masses because there are limits there are misconceptions among the community you know about q so i see that from tomorrow on work hard work is going to be multifold we need to one hand go to the low. law enforcement agencies we need to tell them that ok these are the no one mission that are happening please there address these issues on the second hand we need to go to our elected representatives maybe the member of parliament at the national level at the state level and at the district level and now interestingly fodder for changing the mindset of the society we need to go to the ministry of information and broadcasting because if something for example a television ad comes on the national television that has been produced by the

government of india which says that ok they're out there are different sexualities there are different genders and these are absolutely normal so those kind of things will have a long lasting impact but we also think that we have to go to. a model source development where we will see that we need to include sexuality gender very strongly because they are still willing to forgive me for interrupting there is there is still much work to be done the final brief answer if you wouldn't mind all you happy that this is now the end of this matter because my understanding is the supreme court is reversing its previous decision which itself was reversing a previous decision from the lower court so is this now the end of it do you think . this is an order this is the beginning of the judge me on but we welcome this this new move and we welcome what has come from supreme court but this is false step there are many other steps we need to talk about this the world i we need to talk to them out it is we need to talk about adoption rights interestingly

everything but name right last to last month on twentieth of july and i i would like to see such things happening in my country as well all right richard well thanks for joining us here in the saying from the homes of trying to. well social media editor joe drape has been tracking reactions to that decision from india's supreme court welcome janet how are people reacting well there are a lot of happy and relieved people in india today as we just saw and that's because of the legal back and forth and how long it's taken to get to this point in two thousand and nine the delhi high court decriminalized gay sex but then that was overturned four years life by the supreme court so there are lots of overjoyed people from all walks of life including people like vali would actress. she tweeted this is the india i want to live in not one field to bigotry six ism homophobia and intolerance this is the india i want to live in but of course the

people most to fix today are norse bollywood stars and the millions of people that india is home to and their families people like peter das in delhi she tweeted that she's excited to tell her proudly thirteen year old about the judgement she's waiting to pick up from school to hug and kiss there are pieces said she is laughing and crying at the same time so for many people are really hugely significant day to day and what about the government what does it say many people also remarking how silent the government spain the ruling b.j. . they really keeping out of this we've been looking at the twitter accounts of top politicians like narendra modi the prime minister none of them have tweeted or made any sort of public statement that we know all of their tweeting about other issues but really just keeping out of this one the country's main opposition the congress party has posted a message of support but some activists say that they are jumping on the bandwagon

like this man in bangalore he said during tree tweet any congratulations by a political party today they did zero for this it's down to the tieless work from activists who fought on. the ground people like the prime minister have generally stayed out of gay rights issues they don't comment on he hasn't commented very much on it and before the ruling the ruling big piece said we're not going to take a position we're just going to leave that up to the course so where does this ruling. communities we have to remember people in india face endemic discrimination still homosexuality is the. critics of the law that was overturned today said it was being used in many years to harass and intimidate gay people out of troops like these are not going to be removed simply overnight but it is important legal ruling lots of people who the ruling affix a happy but they're also remembering there is fear you haven't lived to see today

let's listen from one woman who just cried how the emotions that she's feeling. like you know i know i could not even if it had been a music low so many lives of. the east side of. so many lives and so it really. was a relief to the life still i like doing. it. so clearly a very emotional day motional day for many people on what is a landmark education in general thank you john a great. france is one that is prepared to strike targets in syria if the assad regime uses chemical weapons to retake it live province france joins the list of countries trying to avert an expected assault by syrian and russian forces about three million people live in adelaide province and it's the last rebel stronghold the offensive is likely to be the final showdown in syria seven year conflict.

with nowhere left to go civilians and struggling to find ways to keep their families safe having witnessed a massive military build up over the last week this father is preparing for the worst. making protective masks for my children and others in the area because people fear there will be a chemical attack. in this densely populated region others are seeking safety underground. most people in this village have a cave connected to their house. these caves were abandoned during the truce that lasted six or seven months now people are again preparing for an offensive and stockpiling food inside so from attack takes place we can go into the caves.

fearful residents are bracing for bloodshed as the syrian government masses its troops on board as. the first strikes hit the rebel enclave on tuesday syria's ally russia released footage purporting to show russian warplanes attacking what it calls terrorist targets but human rights groups say several civilians were killed. international calls amounting to avoid an all out onslaught and an ensuing humanitarian catastrophe. well if it is a large scale assault on germany's foreign minister house promised extra humanitarian assistance the countries that take in syrian refugees. speaking touring a visit to turkey which already hosts more than three million displaced syrians the foreign minister's visit is aimed at improving solid relations between. the one

hundred fiftieth anniversary of the german school in istanbul saying the school underscored the importance of german surface relations earlier he met with business leaders to discuss the implications of turkey's economic slump. we'll take a look now at some of the other stories making news around the world spanish authorities say rescuers have found five dead migrants and fifty three survivors in a boat that partially sank in the eastern mediterranean officials say another one hundred eighty people mainly african men who rescued on thursday from boats attempting to reach europe from africa. the trouble is on their focal courage who were trapped in a flooded cave in thailand for nearly three weeks have attended an exhibition celebrating the dramatic rescue the boys climbed into a graphic a cave in the display that also shows some of the equipment used to free them. now the u.s. has put its poised to move ahead with another round of tariffs on chinese imports again alpha's has more my do indeed because this time it's

a twenty five percent levy on two hundred billion dollars worth of goods it would be the latest measure in a dispute that is hitting businesses around the world including american farms american meat corn oranges and caught now facing counter-terrorist and that's the fact that it would end the fifth generation is it's hard to follow sometimes. the family now hopes that the u.s. government can come to an agreement on tariffs with its trading partners as quickly as possible. germany's leading economic research institutes say the country can look forward to steady growth but only for the next two years in their autumn forecast out today they predict an uptick in domestic demand that will sustain stable growth of option two percent through at least twenty twenty but after that they are less optimistic for now growth will be sustained by factors as an expected sixty billion euro government budget surplus. are let's bring in only boss from

frankfurt so is there not going to be no growth after twenty twenty how bad are these figures really what's the market's view. i think they're realistic figures i don't think that's something to depress the market or change the outlook here at all and people know it's very very hard to look even successfully and dependably and accurately into the next half year let alone into a period two years from now but there are a number of factors that can serve to dampen the outlook is inflation it's picking up in the euro zone and that's certainly picking up in the united states and in many many of merging countries it's a very problem the dollar is getting stronger and you also have the fact that right here in germany they're practically natural limits to further growth in the something radical happens which i can't imagine namely we're missing hundreds of

thousands of qualified workers here in this country and that's a true damper on growth potential the focus is also mentioned the sixty billion budget surplus but the german government is famously stingy isn't it. saving for a rainy day if you will but sixty billion is more than you can spend on any one rainy day i think at some point the government will have to find projects there are enough out there schools here need bad work road roads and bridges need work and the digital infrastructure needs a lot of work and. lots of places to spend money the political decision making process has to speed up a little yes you can say that only in frankfurt thank you very much. well in full billion passengers took to the skies in twenty seventeen that's a new record that's according to the internet transport association a trade group for allies carriers offering more flights to more destinations and

a growing number of people can afford them asia that the strongest growth but it was also high in europe despite the bankruptcies of several airlines. more business later in the show including some ingenious new ways to use a condom but for now it's back to phil. thank you. for u.s. government officials are working to resist president trump from the inside of his administration this is the claim of one senior official who has written an anonymous opinion piece in the new york times president trump as lashed out at the paper and also described as gutless for hiding their identity i am part of the resistance inside the trumpet ministration the headline proclaims i work for the president but like minded colleagues and i have vowed to thwart parts of his agenda the new york times describes the author as a senior official in the government his claims have sparked controversy and of

course damning criticism from the president himself. if the failing new york times has an anonymous editorial that you believe. really got. no real. we're doing a great job the poll numbers are through the roof our poll numbers are great and guess what nobody is going to come close to beating me in twenty twenty because of what we've done trump play to follow this up with a tweet. does the so-called senior administration official really exist or is it just the failing new york times with another phony source trump asked if the gutless anonymous person does indeed exist the times must for national security purposes turn him or her over to government once the times has defended its decision to publish the editorial anonymously and while some are scrambling for clues as to the author's identity others want to focus on the message i think the all the alarming part of the op is that there's someone in the white house is

very afraid that our nation is being damaged on a daily basis and i think we should take that very seriously this is not a warning from a liberal democrat this is a warning from someone. hard to work in the white house who is revealing information that is very troubling. americans are divided as should an insider resistance be commended condemned. britain is due to date the u.n. security council. poisoning case yesterday u.k. prosecutors charged two russians with attempting to murder a former russian spy. daughter with the nerve agent the british government to believe the suspect some members of russian military intelligence and that the operation had kremlin approval russia denies the claims its ambassador will be present at today's security council meeting. these are the men british prosecutors

have charged with conspiracy to murder. alexander petroff and. are russian citizens but police believe their names are probably in the iss. the men are accused of attempting to murder former russian double agent sergei script and his daughter yulia with a military grade nerve agent. a police officer was also hospitalized following the attack in march in the english city of salisbury. another couple also fell seriously ill after coming into contact with the nerve agent police believe it was through this person bottle don sturgis of salisbury later died. but i will face british justice that's what we will fight for. obviously the government of the time we want to see what we have managed to achieve to help

british police have released close circuit t.v. images of petrol of and it off arriving at london's gatwick airport two days before the scruples were targeted. this image of the man was taken at salisbury train station a day before the attack. and this at the same station on the day of the poisoning. moments later they're seen on closed circuit t.v. walking through the city police say traces of the nerve agent were also found in their london hotel room where they stayed that weekend. in the house of commons the british prime minister claimed the two men are russian military intelligence officials mr speaker repeatedly asked russia to account for what happened in saul's free in march and they have replied with obfuscation and law is this including trying to pass the blame for the attack on terrorists onto our international partners and even on to the future mother in law. they even claimed that i

myself invented novacek british prosecutors say they won't ask russia to extradite the man but they have obtained european arrest warrant. the kremlin denies it played any role in the poisonings. to nigeria now where a book costs a good chunk of the average monthly wage but reading is becoming increasingly popular pastime as pirated copies bring down the cost of these funny brings us this report from lagos for no other city would live quite like lagos maddening traffic heat does anyone ever have enough peace of mind to slow down and read. nigeria's trying to fly the image that people don't like to read almost half of the population doesn't know how but here in lagos there's a growing appetite to read and write books so what's changing this is one of the

oldest bookstores in lagos annoyances from the dating outside inside a rural declined by rows of books of all genres by acclaimed writers like nobel laureate. here you can find a lot about african history and the diversity of nigerian culture. in life. but unfortunately nigeria a book remains a luxury to many people the minimum wage is around fifty u.s. dollars a month and a new book is around. street vendors sell pirated books for a fraction of that. this is. a book by. a well known author for five hundred. two u.s.

dollars is an illegal copy of course. always existed in nigeria but it is experienced already since the country's transition to democracy two decades ago and as demand has increased so has piracy. again a very famous nigerian it's a copy of course. stephen king all of this year is copy its pirated books. a real problem for writers and publishers i meet a writer who founded an online platform a few years ago to offer our legal and cheap alternative e-books the reason why piracy tribes. people don't have a legal option. to buy books says more than two hundred thousand users with twenty thousand dollars every month but the e-book platform for something more

the opportunity to upload content for others and read without having to go to a traditional publisher writes a story. and be successful you have to write a story here. we need to start stories with this new platform nigerians may be able to find their own voice and at a price everyone can afford. this is d.w. news a still to come a rock star reception for his far right interior minister mattera salvini helped take the country's populace coldish the power will look at that government's first hundred days in office. and the state kneeling n.f.l. quarterback a call and company makes his debut for nike we have to do commercials and contrive a sink next we'll see how successful or otherwise. to focus the three to six sales . good word look it up this is data with book in just

w. this is the daily news live from berlin i'm phil gail these are our top stories at this hour gay people in india are celebrating after the supreme court struck down a nineteenth century law banning gay sex which had been punishable by up to ten years in jail one of the judges described the ruling as paving the way to a better future. people are serious it played province prepare for an attack fronts has warned that it is prepared to hit back if the assad regime uses chemical weapons in syria and russia for russian forces are expected to launch an offensive soon against the five rebel stronghold. at least populistic government has been in power for nearly one hundred days interior minister material salvation he leads the country's far right league party and is behind the new policy of banning migrant

rescue ships from italian ports that's certainly pleased his supporters polls indicate the league supporters doubled since the election in march critics argue the root of the country's problems though is not migration d.w. correspondent max hoffman reports from the northern italian city of baquba. think. the side of the show is about to start after hours of waiting such enthusiasm begs the question is this really the interior minister of italy or pop star. the lego was founded close to where we are right now and it's been hosting this first of all for many years now so this is classic home turf for my to the uni and you can tell people here absolutely adore him. and his fans appear satisfied with what he's done in the first one hundred days in office especially on migration why why it should be is a part of he's trying to protect the police try to give us

a better policy. before i need to get it. we believe in solving any and what he's doing this can be a revolution for. a lot of things are moving for i went and he's keeping his promises. even in today's time and. no surprise that his promises on migration are a big part of the show but outside the populist bubble many are getting nervous about what the new government is actually achieving especially the financial markets. there are people who are against us government is free and independent from the multinationals from big finance from the banking powers both international and european we have no fears the italian economy is sound italian business is sound. and most economists disagree insisting that italy's in trouble but facts don't seem to get in the way of success.

across the river from the league of festivals people are trying to do something about that. political engineer who has organized a protest picnic they are sick of their new government claiming that migration is responsible. for everything. you got back to me that you thought you didn't want in reality it is problems like elsewhere we have high youth unemployment and many other people have only temporary jobs there are very few young people who get permanent contracts we have a high poverty rate in relative and absolute terms. it's no surprise that the event on this side of the river is the only one to host some migrants. on the other side the side show is drawing to a close the interior minister's folks and sometimes funny demeanor is one of the reasons

why he's managed to govern and gained in popularity he admits though when pressed that it's not all been fun and games yes. well it's not easy it's really is a big country we have important challenges but i was tired of being in the opposition and. in the opposition the answers to complex problems are often easier salvini has survived the first one hundred days in power unscathed but soon he will have to show if he can actually. see the half. take a look now at some of the other stories making news around the world protests as of march to yemen demanding justice for the dozens of people but if children were killed in last month's astrakhan a school bus that comes as the u.n. said it was confident that delayed peace talks between yemen's government and who see vegetables would begin on friday. in japan at least nine people have been

killed and hundreds more injured after a powerful earthquake struck the island of kato and the country's north it triggered landslides and knocked out power including a nuclear plant which was forced to use backup generators to keep spent fuel. dozens of people missing. asia's ship builders are stepping up their game and their european competitors are feeling the pinch god help us can tell you though yes phil until recently asian chip makers or many building with steel halls and interiors of the ships the systems to operate them engines and navigation equipment and so forth was still produced in europe with it most of the added value went to europe so that said to change. p.s.k. brings something in him that makes a range of ships from foil separators and driveshaft components to high tech seals the technical guts of

a ship. that's its main market is asia where the mammoth shipyards china and india together build seventy five percent of the world's new ships. however world wide ship orders are declining. in oz in future thoughts that's led to a wave of consolidation in asian shipyards if you go there's less to build things so they're lowering their prices so the prices for new ships and of course they pass those price pressures on to suppliers so obviously we're feeling that here as well you know through the whole. one of the problem is that asian companies are catching open want to make more high tech products themselves. they're now making inroads into markets which are once the exclusive domain of german manufacturers like the high tech cruise ship market. we're going to be happy having a big yard big ships affect the nowadays they've noticed that eighty to ninety percent of the ships value comes from the suppliers and now they're trying to

develop their own industry and use it industry to intricate. digital products of the way supply is like s k s marine intend to stay ahead of the competition even if they do still want to keep turning out time on a product like the seals. now let's bring in linda hong in singapore linda we heard that in the report that worldwide shipboard as inclining why's that. well there many are factors to this i want this is the most current one which is the global trade war about remember that early on before that the yoshiko this were just emerging from a very bad time quite a while ago in twenty fourteen twenty fifteen if you remember you've seen the. going bankrupt so this is a see some of this trade war couple with a trade war this would actually make our ship owners more cautious about what will happen especially with the uncertainty that we're seeing so far but how is this

decline affecting asian manufacturers right now. well some of them occasionally been still struggling because we've actually seen you know profits just starting to go up in germany and now with what is happening worldwide especially with u.s. and china there's actually been quite a loss uncertainty and we're seeing a chinese to chinese companies this is a very strong word that china's state building ship building called and ship china ship building industry cooperation could be much and this has been going on for a very long time and this will actually rival korea and its korean bigger rivals. what else can they do. well you know they could actually go green china has actually been putting a lawful course on l.n.g. politics ships as well as were bought six a lot of the interest parts within the ships and people have actually died when they're diving into dangerous areas so these are some of the things that they're

actually looking at and developing so so these are the new focus going forward especially for ships. in the singapore thank you very much. to cuba now well after years of u.s. trade sanctions and any fish and economy people have to live with very limited resources those phones is what the cubans voted for inventing substituting everyday items for things that are in short supply demonstrating for example that sometimes a little piece of rubber can go a long way. you don't have to look far in just about any aspect of cuban life to find something like this a condom doubling at this rally as a balloon. condoms are so cheap and plentiful in cuba that they end up in the most unusual of places fisherman use them as bobbers to float their hooks in the sea and every mechanic knows that a condom makes a terrific plug for a flat tire. the problem with all this repurpose in say health workers is that many

people are liable to downplay the fact that condoms were actually invented for something completely different. they see the condom as a tool to use for other things that they really weren't made for like fishing and all those other things this isn't for fishing it's used to protect your life and the lives of other people about a little bit head. up us all. cubans are natural born inventors it seems so it's no surprise that the stronger stretchy characteristics of the condom make it far more useful than its original brief of contraception and disease prevention. hero hobbyist has discovered the rubber has an excellent application in home winemaking he just covers a bottle of grape juice with a fresh condom and when the fermentation process is complete gas trapped in the balloon collapses signaling it's time for

a drink. that will put me off cuban what for sure it was the good wife to live first with me. back here. after fees are based in her eighty's under skipping a dog that just two of the record breaking styles to win a place and the latest edition of the guinness book of world records in bookshops from today published every year since nine hundred fifty five the book celebrates they walk in the strange on the extreme so here's a look at some of the humans on the most and robots who've made it in this year. betty go taunt is not your average ought to generic at eighty five she's become the world's oldest flying trapeze artist and it's a hobby she only took up in her seventy's many times but ask what is my secret about being you know eighty five and being able to do what i'm doing i think so much of it is that i'm doing things that i enjoy doing i'm hoping that i

encourage. people people will women to not think that when they hit the age of fifty five fifty five that their old betty isn't the only one reaching for the stars feather who was adopted from a rescue center has set a new canine record for jumping at one hundred ninety one point seven centimeters that six foot three i'm sticking with man's best friend me sharon imo i think she just sold a few tricks on how to skip style. he deserves to meet irish butcher barry joan crow barry is the guinness world record holder for producing the most sausages in a minute. and then there's the man who's racked up the fastest speed in his jet propelled cars. oh how about the world's largest rideable

hexapod robots. and if you're ever in danger of losing your knitting needles try these they measure a four point four to meet is that's fourteen feet and five inches possibly a little big to handle for most of us anyway. it's been ten weeks since germany crushed after the world cup and the very first round tonight the team starts a long road back from infamy and the new nations league all of the movie of the interview sports is in that music for the match against well champions at sides are welcome ali so how does germany come back from not the box of especially against the best team in the world. well i think especially against the best team in the world it's important for germany to show that the world cup was indeed just a blip and that they have learned the lessons from the world cup as they say they

have and i think this is a great chance than to do it this isn't a friendly where the players can kid themselves that the result doesn't really matter this is a game where there are points on the table in the new nations lake now the question is of course can germany claim those points tonight well let's hear from yogi love the coach and his team how they've been preparing for the game. emerging from the shadow of disaster the german squad is now hoping to play like it's capable of playing not to do some real numbers and of course we're expected to create a positive atmosphere among. the town is still there we just have to find the best way to bring it out and to get even findus as with all those months he does it coach yogi live has tried to move on from his team's early exit in the world cup he added new faces points on the table in the new nations lake now the question is of course can germany claim those points tonight well let's hear from yogi love the coach and his team how they've been preparing for the game. emerging from the

shadow of disaster the german squad is now hoping to play like it's capable of playing not to do some real numbers and of course we're expected to create a positive atmosphere among. the town is still there we just have to find the best way to bring it out and to get even findus as with all those months who does it coach yogi live has tried to move on from his team's early exit in the world cup he's added new faces but he's mostly focused on changing his team's play increasing positive movement when his guys have the ball and working more on defense much real shaun all hits of us you know if you can already begin to sense a bit of optimism guns but we're also not naive enough to believe that we can forget everything that happened after a good match or two come and. gone. world champions france are short on confidence after their world cup despite that triumph there they should not be considered european favorites so says their own coach did eate

a shop you'll be live says otherwise she said they totally deserve to be world champions especially because they're so balanced strong in defense with lots of good tacklers that can win challenges and take possession and they have speedy players up top that can go deep and transitioning from the back. should be lucky. if they can manage it a strong showing against france would be a start in repairing germany's battered image after the world cup and since this is anything but a friendly munich could be in for a classic match. about to all of a movie in munich what's the difference between this german team that played in the world cup. well on the surface of it not a whole lot you've got a lot of the old stalwarts from the world cup still in the squad the likes of tommy krause who we heard from there the likes of thomas miller and of course the captain

manuel neuer so a lot of the old players are still around and i think a lot of people would hope to perhaps see a few more new faces there are only three on capital players in this germany squad and probably only one of them because schultz of hoffenheim is going to start tonight so it's evolution rather than revolution for germany perhaps the biggest change that we need to see in the team is in terms of their mentality and in terms of their tactical set up are they going to be more positive are they going to be more dynamic are they going to be less. stayed in the in possession if so then we could see a very different germany team tonight but they've got possibly the most difficult team in the world to prove that against yeah this is a good time for germany to play france just weeks after their biggest triumphant most of their team will ever experience. yeah i mean the world cup hangover has been a big topic this summer especially with germany struggling so badly at the world cup but look this is still a very formidable france squad it's pretty much the same squad that we saw at the

world cup and the likes of anton greaseman are still still there the likes of paul pogba two and of course the player who really got everyone excited killian and pay these are three players in particular who are really going to test germany tonight and they're in fact they might be turning that question on its head you're asking is it a good time for germany to be playing france france might be asking whether this is a good time to play germany given that they're still in this kind of shell shocked state after the world cup i think is going to be a fascinating encounter in munich tonight the nation's league is a new competition what are people there in munich saying about us. well i think people are excited about it because basically the idea is to replace these kind of friendlies that you had before the. perhaps weren't so exciting for people you saw a lot of experimental setups you often saw games that were quite low on entertainment and to replace that with competitive matches where you got promotion and relegation and what really means something i think people are going to get very

excited about that but of course we'll have to wait and see with it being a new competition maybe people won't take it to their hearts maybe the players will say it's too much competitive football in an already packed schedule but i think it's going to be an interesting time and i think it's also going to be very good for some of the smaller teams in europe they will now get a much better crack at reaching the european championship than they did before for extra spots up for grabs outside of qualifications group just through the united nations late so i think it's i think something for everyone in ali thank you so much all of a movie in munich. the racially charged controversy over a nike ad campaign has now drawn the ire of u.s. president donald trump sportswear company showing support for american football player calling capek who's best known for kneeling as a civil rights protest during the pre-game national anthem president trump derived capital because he supporters is unpatriotic and the quarterback has been unable to

find work since last year believe in. even if it means sacrificing everything. that's the not so subtle message behind the advertising campaign fronted by former american football quarterback calling captaining the ad premiers ahead of tonight's n.f.l. clash featuring the super bowl champions philadelphia eagles and it sparked fierce debate in the u.s. captain it was a controversial figure after quietly launching what's now known as the taken me campaign a protest against racial inequality videos of people burning men nike merchandise appeared on social media this week with many pledging to boycott nike merchandise for its decision to promote company x. message. late on wednesday president donald trump tweeted in support of a boycott questioning the company's decision to side with the take in a campaign. many consumers are praising nike for its decision however claiming they are now more likely to purchase nike merchandise than ever before.

i have always were new balance because they are white and now i would like to wear not because i would be proud to wear nike sports stars including serena williams and shocking griffin who both appear alongside cap and it could be advert level should praise the message behind a campaign going beyond the sales and sporting aspects of the campaign it is believed the ad may play a role in the world of politics the n.f.l. season is about to begin. so the anthem controversy will be front and center it will be reheated donald trump in the midterm elections if they can sustain this ad campaign up through the midterm elections. as anything else anybody's talking about. when they align with colleen kapur nick today with the advent already having a huge impact on social media well before this evening's premiere for better or

worse it has at least succeeded in putting nike at the center of attention. so nike is just done it let's talk about this well with culture and it's a rapid mental welcome robin so this is so forth and politics maybe so in this culture residents well advertising is part of miles' mass culture. to his whole i mean the primary thing is to sell products of course but actually there has been. i have had a political stance down the years i mean the best example i think you can remember and i can remember is benetton back in the nineteen eighties if you remember the united colors of bennett's a campaign that created such a for rory back then there picture of somebody dying of aids doing in a benetton ad but this is a palestinian and israeli with their arms around each other this one are member very well the black white and yellow and the cold there is no color inside as well this is sort of red. and this one to the controversial world of weld

leaders kiss each other i'm going to back with french president sarkozy obama with hugo chavez and to bring it up to date this one of a refugee ship you know the people being rescued in the med mediterranean the refugee problem it does show actually that they're still doing on. their pays off and this of course a better song being a clothing company going back to nike. again this is not the first tip toe into the waters of control no it isn't quite recently they released an ad in mexico has caused controversy is what it doesn't look very controversial at first it's it was a traffic jam and there are a go it's going to get be happy. i had done everything but then a run a comes along and it is of course promoting sport shoes but it is promoting women's rights it's all riding on the me too in times of campaigns and to be honest nike or

anyone else just a few years back they could never based on that a feminist idea so it has changed but it's to be honest it's one of the times in agencies do they they find out what's what's current that advert went very viral and did the job you know that's what they do advertising is all about guys so let's talk about south america one of the world's biggest brands created this clever ad against homophobia yet this is an ad i didn't know about the day but i do find it really rather good this is. and they took a homophobic phrase in portuguese are presumed positions him to jail which is. a fun time. which makes fun of gay people i'm not quite sure what it means but it's rude and so what they did they have coca in there and they have fans of which their products they decide to create

a special limited edition make sure coke can find gay pride. and actually they have evidence you change the whole meaning of the phrase it's no longer a derogatory phrase anymore i'm not. i think it's really good song and by the way that i have won a number of prizes not only all the have a coach rival pepsi. made a huge mistake with that have featuring kendall jenner she was trying to defuse a riot you remember this yeah and it and handing a riot policemen a taxi this completely backfired pepsi look you accused of trivializing black lives matter and in fact you have taken down so in one case got it right you got. russian beef on how much they weigh is the ball because it is it's a fine line that has to be drawn and so before we get carried away with all the.

rhetoric and the principles. this is all about big companies making money not just nike but but all of course it is but i think young people to die almost politically what a web and they were a few years ago and i think. a few years ago hipsters didn't support anything they didn't have a conscience about anything but i think that has really changed and i think the ad agencies big companies they know this and they're making politically correct campaign so it's paying off a very interesting vote on the website absolutely d.w. dot com slash cold chop thank you very much that said show up today to let her out we'll have more favor at the top of the hour of yourself a good death. in
