john layla herad great to have you along every once. in a historic decision in the us supreme court has unanimously overturned in one thousand century a law that made gay sex punishable by up to a decade in jail one judge said the ruling would pave the way for a better future today india's gay community is celebrating but many challenges still lie ahead. ah 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 amazing you're going to buy the i don't normally read it though and if you get it and add it maybe you didn't mean it if it made my move but get very very fundamentally. 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 you know like feeling inside and. it is really amazing and this has need. of what it really was. the kind of guy. that. one of the point don't get is they clearly think that their responsibility of the government. and let the general public know that this section is no more panel and sensitized 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 battles 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 dixie. but the mosses many see that legal acceptance is opposed to step two with ending the hottest month and persecution of the gay community. in india's conservative religious society the 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. and i'd like to welcome now to the program a trip to two men she is deputy director of the lawyers collective in delhi who represented one of the petitioners in this case a very good evening

a congratulations with this landmark win what brought about the demise of section three seven seven where you convinced this day would come. we were very convinced that this day would come the lawyers collective started working on this law back in two thousand and one when we filed the petition in the daily high court challenging section three seventy seven we had a victory in the delhi high court and then we had a serial loss when in two thousand and thirteen the supreme court. of this section but we were very deep domain because they believed that an antiquated law for the nineteenth century that tramples upon individuals dignity that the see their rights their very humanity can not exist in the twenty first century and it's a shared determination and perseverance together with the as your beauty community members in india that has led us to this city well your determination has

a certainly paid off miss turner what happens now to the people who were unfortunate enough to get caught up in the legal system and face jail time will they be released and their record expunged now. the court has made a very pertinent observation saying that cases that are still pending which means either they are being tried all the even at the appellate stage which means they've been ahead is guilty but they have appealed against in the higher courts those cases can benefit from this ruling but is that a completely clueless that means that they have exhausted all options including at the supreme court will not benefit but we believe such cases are very few and far between so people will be able to benefit from this decision manage some of the challenges that still lie ahead. i think the most immediate challenge is that members of the community face immense have

assessment extortion and black media as they interact with one another especially through the internet and the did digital media and up until now they were not able to make complete sense to the police because the you were considered criminal so the decision to d.c. in your not criminal you enjoy equal rights and the police must be sensitized to and it's we who are long we addressing this problem the other issue would be of course about violence within the family people being forced to maddy against their will in a heterosexual context all that should also come to a stop because the court has clearly said you cannot force anyone to be who the on and it's the you know the response ability of the government to make sure that this decision is actually adopted and applied throughout the board or it should be tuned and deputy director of the lawyers collective in delhi who was part of the team that represented one of the petitioners in this case congratulations again and

thank you for joining us on the show. all right now to some of the other stories making news around the world. india and the u.s. have signed a long awaited defense pact allowing the two countries to share intelligence and high tech weaponry the deal was aimed to after high level talks in delhi that included the u.s. secretaries of states and defense and indian prime minister narendra modi italian prosecutors have placed twenty people under investigation in connection with the bridge collapse that killed dozens in genoa last month the group includes top managers at the company that operates the bridge the suspects could face charges of manslaughter for failing to comply with safety regulations. spanish authorities say rescuers have found five dead migrants and fifty three survivors in a boat that partially sank in waters off the eastern mediterranean officials say

another one hundred eighty people mainly african men were rescued on thursday from boats attempting the crossing to europe from africa. protesters have marched in yemen demanding justice for the dozens of people people many of them children killed in last month's airstrike on a school bus it comes as the un said it was confident delayed peace talks between yemen's government and who the rebels would start on friday. that now the u.s. is poised to move ahead with another round of tariffs on chinese imports is anything left that's right you can ask that question but 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 because american meats coal and oranges and cotton our all facing counter terrorism that's threatening the livelihoods of many farmers in the u.s.

. last summer the um barger family farm in virginia faced a bright future thanks to china wholesalers there wanted to buy its beef in huge quantities. that's what they told farmers set on barger when he went on a business trip sponsored by the us government to beijing. potential buyers they were they were very excited they wanted to be frightening and they wanted to go ahead and sign a contract they wanted to make a deal that day but that all changed when china imposed retaliatory tariffs on american products over the summer after the us imposed its tariffs china imposed thirty seven percent import duties on beef and at such high prices the chinese prefer to buy elsewhere like in canada the farmers there are the winners of the u.s. is trade disputes and it's not just china european companies are also increasingly buying meat grain and other i recall traill products here the reason is simple. the

terrorists that you are placed on us corn twenty five percent tariffs to be the main driver that would then make us corn more expensive thank you nate in chorus so i'm barger family has passed down its farm from one generation to the next but now it's under threat from those tariffs. and to think that it can come to an end and and. the fact that it would end at the fifth generation is it's hard to swallow sometimes for 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 institute say the country can look forward to steady growth at least for the next two years in their autumn forecast phase they predict an uptick in domestic demand that will sustain stable growth of up to two percent through at least twenty twenty bucks after that there are less

optimistic for now growth will be sustained by factors like the expected sixty billion euro government budgets plus so two more years of growth in the water help of financial correspondent only bards can have a shed some light on these projections only how bad is it and how did markets react . i don't think it's a given yet that in two thousand and twenty the growth will be worth possibly four predicts but often times before when others correct themselves from half year to half year projections because the economy doesn't expect that things because politicians and players in the economy do unexpected things trade being one example but for example the incoming orders that came today they were they were down zero point eight percent but still coming from a very high level and part of the reason for that say germany's economy is showing

perhaps some problems on the export side a lack of qualified workers and that of course cannot be rectified overnight and possibly played a role in the projections going forward with the full for example. you mentioned the sixty billion budget surplus germany in that time the government did something with it. yes it's high time germany can use the investment in the infrastructure whether that's schools right here in frankfurt we hear from students and their parents that sometimes and the classrooms the ceiling comes down or parts of the parts of the dry walls there and the buildings the roads the bridges there are lots there's lots of work to do and not least digitalisation lots of investment needed there also pushing ahead cars there's plenty of money that you can spend this this there are plenty of areas where you can spend this money on and germany i think has to do it there's something to be said for saving some for

a rainy day as we saw from these economic projections the economy might not be humming for the next ten years but may need some support in between leibowitz and frankfurt thank you. more than four billion allan passengers worldwide took to the skies in twenty seventeen that's a new record according to the international transport association carriers are offering more flights to more destinations and a growing number of people can afford them asia goes to the strongest growth but it was also high in europe despite the bankruptcies of several airlines. stocks has become a common sight around the world over the last thirty years but it hasn't ventured into the motherland office preso and cup of cino until now the u.s. coffee chain is just opened its first outlet in italy

a store in milan is entered an upscale market starbucks is betting that premium coffees will win over customers in a country where and espresso is a quick and inexpensive daily routine it comes at starbucks plans to close one hundred fifty branches in the u.s. in the coming year because of the slowing market there. and that's all the business is back to you later thank you so very much care art next and now to that unprecedented bombshell that has sent the u.s. president reeling in an anonymous opinion piece in the new york times a senior white house official details how aides are working to frustrate parts of president donald trump's genda from inside his administration a response trump has lashed out at the newspaper and the author who he 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 can you believe anonymous really gutless a gutless editorial. 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 plates of 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

a scrambling for clues as to the author's identity others want to focus on the message i think we'll be alarming part of it 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 don't try hard to work in the white house who is revealing information that is very troubling. americans are divided should an inside the resistance be commended condemned. while the year trump the presidency and america's divisions are also things that people here in germany are watching with concern and you survey put donald trump f. the top of a list of things that people here in germany worry about now more than two thirds strongly fear they don't trust policies are making the world

a less stable place the consequences of immigration are also playing on german minds while sixty three percent worry that germany is being overrun by refugees the same percentage fear rising tensions due to foreigners and germans don't have much confidence in their political leaders either sixty one percent expressed concern that lawmakers are not up to the job are next up or staying where germany foreign minister heiko has concluded a trip to turkey in a bid to normalize relations with that country recently bilateral ties. had hit rock bottom but now the mood music is more positive my says mission was to pave the way for a state visit to germany by president. at the end of this month and to try to secure the release of seven german citizens detained after the failed coup two years ago. germany's foreign minister heiko mass on a delicate mission to turkey from visiting

a german school in istanbul to meetings with fellow ministers cautious steps towards rebuilding a strained relationship. and face to face with type i had a one in the one eight surroundings of the presidential palace he's leader has spent a lot more time with his german guest than originally planned and korea wants to fix its fractured relations with len earlier nazi slurs against the german government and ongoing political disputes and now on hold. previous disputes belong in the past everything's better now with hard tomas we're not a looking to normalize relations but also to make them significantly better. that we'll echoed on the german side you have your version of we have a close economic relationship which creates thousands of jobs in both our countries . and to be our partners in nato. we can and should work

together internationally. turkey is going through an economic crisis because it has fallen out with the u.s. ankara needs germany's help the two countries have close economic and political ties but there are several sticking points this demonstration in germany is in support of one of seven germans being held in custody in turkey on political grounds. and we've spoken about this quite openly as one should at this type of meeting. and we've agreed to keep in touch over it. opponents in the german parliament claim heiko must is weak and indecisive. that i know a very responsible foreign policy is incompatible with supporting the out of one regime for political reasons with lavish financial and economic aid running into

millions and weapons exports we need to take a tougher approach dialogue is one thing cozying up as another one of. these pictures of it live in syria a worrying for both sides the conflict is taking place near the turkish border germany will want to help ankara if people flee from the fighting into turkey relations between turkey and germany remain difficult but appear to be improving. and as we just reported foreign minister heikal must hackle the subject of seven german citizens detained in turkey and our correspondent on the market asked a member of germany's parliament what she thought about moscow's efforts. i don't as a sterling foreign minister i will return from turkey without the seven imprisoned german citizens does that mean that the visit was a failure well we all know that he talked about. political imprisonments and that he stressed the point that we don't accept this and this is

a real problem between german turkish relationship and that we all look at what turkey is doing right now they cannot just come and say ok we want to have a good relationship again which is also an interest because turkey is strategic strategically important country but the imprisonments are just not acceptable and this is what. certainly said in a very clear way germany wants to normalize their relationship and turkey says that's ok but not if germany wants to impose any conditions does that mean no more criticism of violations of human rights no more demands for the release of these seven imprisoned german citizens. of course not of course for us it's very important that we see turkey back again. at a normal democratic. way we don't do that right now we cannot see

any. movement from turkey maybe this visit has changed something maybe he has really been successful in just telling turkey that it's not just germany won something but it's better for turkey to change the rules and change the direction of turkey i'm quite certain that many people in turkey are very. well anxious about their future they don't really know what is going on but they can feel that it's not in a good way whatever is going on and so we need to help them also but always tell turkey come back to a democratic way. think about again these imprisoned men's and well do something that we really see that you're on the right way in three weeks time turks president everyone will come to germany and at the moment it's still unclear

whether he will actually address turks in germany whether we'll he will have a major speech here in germany would you be in favor of such an appearance. well in the past we we saw that it was a problem also when he talked to the people here in a way it's a normal act that someone comes and says ok i talk to my people i talk to those who are turkish citizens in germany but we saw that he well in the best manner really told people to be against our government our country and this is not acceptable for us of course and we talked about it in two thousand and fourteen he changed his speech in that year and it was really ok so we had some problems in the last year so i hope that there's no come pain there's no need for him to do anything in that way he might be able to prove that he can be

a good. politician who really talks to people in a good men are and not tries to have well bring another problems to germany with the turkish citizens thank you very much i don't know if those. germany's football team is preparing for its first outing since a stunning world cup exit earlier this summer while the bad news is they have to play the new world champs france tonight in you nick. emerging from the shadow of disaster the german squad is now hoping to play like it's capable of playing. of course we're expected to create a positive atmosphere. the town is still there we just have to find the best way to bring it out because 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'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. of us you know if you can already begin to sense a bit of optimism but we're also not naive enough to believe that we can forget everything that happened after a good match or to come in the. 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 thirty four 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 on transitioning from the back. should be lucky she. if they can manage it a strong showing against france would be a start in repairing germany's better damage after the world cup and since this is

anything but a friendly munich could be in for a classic match. and staying with international football in a commercial dispute between denmark's top players and their federation meant eighteen made up largely of amateurs played in the three no friendly defeat in slovakia as salesman a student and an internet star were among those drafted in from the lower leagues to play in the game they were enthusiastic only applauded there were returned home . it's passion that counts are right on my nerves our main headline of this hour for you in the years owes you being to communities celebrating after the supreme court struck down a nineteenth century law banning gay sex which was punishable by up to ten years in jail one of the judges described the ruling as paving the way to a better future. i will rock n roll in the news continues at the top of the hour
