thanks for your company everyone. we start this broadcast with a bombshell that has sent us president donald trump reeling in an anonymous opinion piece in the new york times a senior white house official claims aides are working to frustrate parts of trump's agenda from inside his administration in 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 of spock's control of the city and of course damning criticism from the president himself. if the failing new york

times has an anonymous editorial if you believe that anonymous really got us a gut was tauriel. 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 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. is that there's someone in the white house is very afraid

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. hired to work in the white house who is revealing information that is very troubling. americans are divided should an inside the resistance be commended the condemned. now right i'm joined now by my a shredder from our washington bureau to talk about this extraordinary turn of events good day my are just some of the descriptions bombshell particles tsunami washington earthquake how would you describe this rather bizarre development. it certainly feels like something is coming or something has cracked here but we also have to note that this is of course a president and administration

a presidency that has had many of these moments in the past where people thought that this would be a turning point that everything would change the world and that america would turn against him that that didn't happen that said we should note that this article is being published just before yet another book is due to come out this coming tuesday a book that is supposed to be an insider's look at this white house and as we've seen from some experts excerpts that have come out really does. correlate with a lot of the things that are alleged in this anonymous op ed saying that things are chaos that the president is very curial that he forgets what he said from one moment to the next and so you have all these insider theoretically insider accounts coming out of the white house showing a president who is really not reliable and whose word you can't take it isn't a good look for a president who is trying to push through

a supreme court nominee for midterms that are coming up and it's really just been as you said a bombshell week here in washington d.c. that's very use of bombshell weeks now right it's just an avalanche of all of a sudden now the question of course on everyone's lips and minds is who wrote it let's take a listen to one senior administration official making it clear that it's not him before we continue our conversation. and i have to tell you. i just i find i find the media's efforts in this regard to undermine this administration incredibly disturbing. and i'll answer the question directly because i know some of the guy she didn't answer the question it's not mine. it's not mine it wasn't me my pump it was a my pompei also who was it. this is ben the guessing game for the last two days here they have certainly set the internet off there have been

areas from the vice president himself mike pence to one of the president's children we should note that this person was credited as a senior administration official there are about two thousand people who serve in the federal government who for whom that title could reasonably be applied so good luck to anyone who wants to try to find this out short of the new york times publishing the name or the person themselves coming forward it's very unlikely we're going to find out of it really hasn't stopped the internet from trying to figure it out oh i think my own thank you so much probably more importantly is that this is just the spokesperson there's an entire group in the white house apparently that agree with this person thank you so much my straight a reporting from a washington and back here in germany the term presidency and i must say will place the consequences of immigration are also playing on john minds sixty three percent worry that germany is being overrun by refugees the same

percentage fear rising tensions do to foreigners and germans don't have much confidence in their political leaders either while sixty one percent expressed concern that lawmakers are not up to the job. all right let's bring you up to speed now with some of the other stories making news around the world. britain has told the u.n. security council it has color evidence moscow was behind the poisoning of a russian expiry in march it comes a day after they look a announced murder charges against these two russian suspected of carrying out the attack british allies have issued a joint statement backing london's assessment moscow denies any involvement. at least 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 that are just out of the company that operates the bridge the suspects

could face charges of manslaughter for failing to comply with safety regulations. india and the u.s. have signed a long awaited defense pact allowing them to share intelligence and high tech weaponry the deal was into after high level talks in delhi that included the u.s. secretaries of state and defense and indian prime minister and iran from o.t. . and staying in india the supreme court has made a landmark or ruling that legalizes same sex relations the unanimous judgments overturns a nineteenth century law that made gay sex punishable by up to a decade in jail one judge says the ruling would pave the way for a better future and he is gay community is celebrating but many challenges still lie ahead. 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 buy the i don't normally read it though and if you could do that if you made it to me if evasion i moved 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 is amazing you know like feeling inside and having. it is the real thing and this judgment has made. it really what.

kind of judgment they have pronounced that. one of the point that he clearly said it is the responsibility of the government to educate. and lead the general public know that this section is no more credible and censored 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 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 accepted by the masses many here say that legal acceptance is a first step towards ending the hottest mint 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 were 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 delhi 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 up this section

but we were very deep domain because they believed that an antiquated law for the nineteenth century that examples upon individuals dignity their privacy that i stand very humanity can not exist in the twenty first century and it's a shared determination and perseverance together with the g.b.t. community members in india that has led us to this state well your determination has a certainly paid off mr know 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. when 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 held guilty but they have appealed against in the higher courts those cases can benefit from this ruling but uses that are 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 or some of the challenges that still lie ahead and. 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 evil to me 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 will go along we in addressing this problem the other issue would be of course of 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 they aren't 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 tune the deputy director of the lawyers a collective in delhi who is part of the team that represented one of the petitioners in this case congratulations again and thank you for joining us on the show. and a social media editor gerry read his been tracking reactions to that decision from india is a supreme court always good to see just what an exciting and seminal day for the people in india what is people been saying people are really happy but they're also relieved because of this long ongoing legal back and forth that has been happening in india in two thousand and nine the delhi high court decriminalize gay sex but then that was overturned in twenty thirteen by the supreme court people from all

walks of life have been weighing in people like bollywood actress poor boucher she tweeted this is the india i want to live in not one that's filled with hate bigotry six's homophobia and intolerance this is the india i love keeping in mind the people these to fix the most ont bollywood stars but it's the millions of people and their families that india is home to people like publish arpita das in delhi who tweeted that she's excited to tell her proudly thirteen year old about the judgement she's waiting at the boss stop to pick her up from school can't wait to taylor and hug her and kiss he just says i'm laughing and crying at the same time sorry so many people really significant. relief as well as the government reacted kids they could have done something but they left it to the court well that's right and many people have been remarking on how silent the

ruling b j p party has been about this they are staying well away from the issue the potties top lawmakers including the prime minister narendra modi haven't tweeted or made any public statements about the ruling that we know of it tweeting about other issues and retraining them but not this point re tweet any congratulations by a political party today they did zero for this it's down to the tieless work by those who fought the fight on the ground level and people like the prime minister noda. they have generally made very little comments about gay rights at all what they did say before the ruling today is that they weren't going to take any position on homosexuality and they're going to leave it up to the courts which is what they did in the end of phenomena grassroots movements an effort what does this ruling mean for the answer beauty community in india well as we heard from treaty just now. people equate people in india still face endemic discrimination

homosexuality is still a social to boss these legal recognition is a really important step in the right direction people are happy at what's happened but they also remembering those activists who haven't lived to see today we're going to hear now from a young woman named dave because from kolkata she had this decided to the website quinta dot com when i was going down i know i could not believe it if it had been they knew they were so many life. that they were sitting right behind me mr sawyer and that it. was in their life still i like to love it. so clearly a lot of motions on what is a landmark day for gay rights in india last centinela day tara thank you so much for tracking those that reactions for us all right we're going to shift our attention now to business headlines the u.s.

is poised to move ahead with another round of tariffs on chinese imports in kristoff story that's right this time it's a twenty five percent levy on two hundred billion dollars in goods it would be the latest medical measure in a dispute that is hitting businesses around the world including american farmers many of them voted for president trump now u.s. meat corn oranges and cotton are all facing chinese counter-terror many u.s. farmers already forced to accept financial aid from the government another life could become even more difficult. last summer the un 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 terror of sun american products over the summer after the u.s. 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 troll products here the reason is simple. the terrorists that you have placed on u.s. corn twenty five percent tariffs that would be the main driver that would then make u.s. 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 could come to an end and. the fact that it would end at the fifth generation is it's hard to swallow sometimes when the family now hopes

that the u.s. government can come to an agreement on tariffs with its trading partners as quickly as possible. britain's burbery fashion house says it will stop the controversial practice of burning millions of dollars worth of all star products to reserve its high prices and market image on the move could signal a growing awareness of social responsibility and other ethical issues in the luxury products industry burberry also says it's phasing out real fur from its part range long a demand of animal rights activists. burglary is responding to years of unflattering protests on the part of activists who condemned its use of animal for years but the fashion industry is also in the doghouse for a host of environmental and ethical issues particularly the practice of destroying sold stock burbery could hardly afford to spend

a fortune on luxury addresses for shops and sumptuous interiors if its products end up in the bargain bin on the other side of town last year it destroyed over thirty million dollars worth of unsold goods but many were shocked. i think these fashion brands these lifestyle brands the you know the consumer tastes are changing and the sharing of ostentatious wealth may still be a factor in people buying these goods but he still wants a green backing to what they are doing they want to make sure that this wealth is not showing off or costs. burbery says it now sees the sense to this and pledges to reuse recycle or donate all unsellable products in the future. the company is now following in the ethical footsteps of other brands such as first saatchi gucci and stella mccartney suggesting to many that the fashion industry is truly turning

a corner. too for yvonne aoun kickoff is nearly upon us in munich that sat where germany are hosting world champions france in the new year way for nations a leak it's their first match since they crashed out of the world cup in the first round alban would have had a resource is at the allianz arena for us hi eileen how do german media come back from the world cup debacle especially against the best team in the world. well what better opponent could they have to prove that the world cup as you put it was just a blip than playing against the best team in the world if they get a result here then that would really put a few doubts to bed but obviously a new competition after such a shambles of a world cup there must still be a lot of doubts in the squad let's hear what the coach himself yogi love said ahead of the game for most of us when the current world champions are playing their first

match since the world cup and i would say we're not the favorite having been knocked out in the first round so it's different for years we were always prefer a grits and every match for now we're starting from a different position which is. all right now only the game a kicks off in about fifteen minutes from now on the line ups are our who's standing for team germany. well if there are any surprises in this team it's that there are no surprises basically it's the same old germany team from the world cup you've got a lot of the players there who all the players were in the world cup squad the likes of neuer. these old guys who disappointed really at the world cup and yet to give it another chance i think a lot of fans expected some of the newcomers in the squad there are three players in the squad none of them are in the starting eleven a bit of a surprise there and they also kind of brought back in from the international wilderness we thought maybe he would be given

a start but that's not the case either so love is very much kind of stuck with what he knows here and i think after such a big event as jimmy going out in the group stage of the world cup that is a bit of a gamble funnily enough and if those players don't perform tonight that could really backfire and that could really backfire as you say now you mentioned earlier as sonny not being included in this team he didn't go to the world cup you know why it's such an exciting talent being on for a lot. what we heard from tony krause one of the most experienced players in the germany squad he said this week that sunday is a player with great qualities but basically that he just doesn't have the right attitude at the moment now there was a lot of talk about this when sunny was surprisingly left out of the world cup squad he's also not been getting into the manchester city first team recently for his club so clearly there's something going on with sunday that goes beyond the pitch as it were specifically said was that sometimes you look at. body language after a game you don't know whether you've won or lost and perhaps perhaps

a bit of the mentality of some of the great players in this journey team has not rubbed off on him yet and perhaps that's something that he needs to work on to really fulfill his potential buy for germany and as a player generally you know it well let's talk about team france i mean our how will they be approaching this game. well similarly to germany they have not made many changes from the world cup squad it's only the goalkeeper compared coming in. other than that it's still got all those hugely dangerous players that we saw at the world cup the likes of greece man of and backpay this is going to be a huge test for germany tonight and you wonder which way round it is is this a good time for germany to play france after france was kind of on this high and perhaps now is a bit of a hangover an international football or is it the other way round is germany kind of so in the pits in football it says after the world cup that this is a perfect time for france to come here to germany and beat them in their own backyard is going to be a really interesting game tonight ha right over murray reporting from munich and

during the game. and you're watching the daily news we still have so much more to come with here is what's a hand the craze for reading books in nigeria up tired of books that is the find out what's driving the craze and we talk to a rising literary star about her new novel and as the kneeling n.f.l. quarterback con capper nick makes his debut for a night in the ass new commercials and controversy mix we'll see how successful or otherwise controversy has been had to sting sales. will be back right after these messages.

you're watching the governor's own way or her aka role in these are made headlines this hour. the hunt is on to find which senior administration official word the anonymous new york times article that claim some white house insiders are working to frustrate president donald trump's agenda the president has called the article treason and the author gutless. and i book costs a good chunk of the average monthly wage but reading is becoming an increasingly popular pastime as pirated copies bring down the cost to be used funny for shark brings us this report from lagos. no other city with life. heat does anyone ever have enough snow down and. trying to people. but you're in lagos there's a growing appetite to read and write books. this is one of the oldest.

dating site inside. 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. but unfortunately nigeria a book. people the minimum wage is around fifty u.s. dollars some month and the new book is around. street vendors sell pirated books for a fraction of that. this is. only five hundred. a

book by. a well known author for five hundred. two u.s. dollars using legal copy of course a lot of books always existed in nigeria but it is experienced 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 notes every month but the e-book platform for something more the opportunity to upload content for others and read without having to go into a traditional publisher. story. and be successful you have to write a story here. we need to stories with this new platform nigerians may be able to find their own voice and at a price everyone can afford. now we need to start telling our own stories you heard that in that report in one thousand hearing author doing just that with her debut novel fresh water is a quickie mazie and she joins us here on the set a very very well let's hope we are so excited to have you here in person your book freshwater was just released here in germany the german elation what i find so fascinating about freshwater i read it in english is that it's firmly rooted in

your experiences you also had to get out of your comfort zone and become familiar with the beliefs of the people what was the process like of writing this book and did it change your worldview it was mostly terrifying be honest i wasn't raised with not a lot of knowledge about certain aspects of traditions and cultures they're considered taboo due to being colonized and the effects of christan at sea and it's considered this evil dark topic a lot of the time and so i was scared to step into a world that consisted of that because it was foreign to me and i was afraid that if i stepped into the world i wouldn't you know step out of it at the same time because the book is so heavily based on personal experiences it was very cathartic to write but i had a lot of emotional breakdown in steering it because. you're accessing a lot of stuff from your past and

a lot of stuff from your history and that combined with the context that it sets and it was it was quite an experience to talk to us about the central character she's intense she's complex. tell us just a little bit about her who she is she is i think one of the best ways to describe her is as a plural individual or a singular collective and she's a young girl who is having a lot of trouble with being in a body she's having a lot of trouble with embodiment and it shows up by her creating other selves other versions of her and naming them and. it leads to quite complicated our life because of that and i think a lot she's someone that also a lot of people can relate to in terms of just mounds of trauma sometimes that having a body and sales and and in other aspects being an immigrant being

a college students in a foreign country being someone who's dealing with a lot of depression things like that this is the thing that i mean it touches it all on all these facets and it's so so current because you know what you described there it's about identity but not something that fits perfectly in a box or can be designated it's this you did you identify identity as something plural a we talked just a little bit more about that i think it's reflective of what people's lived experiences were never just in one box whenever just under one label it's multiple things happening at the same time it's multiple realities happening at the same time and with freshwater i really wanted to bring the reader into that experience not pick one out from it and follow that thread but to just bring derrida into the entire tapestry so all that complexity all that richness at times all of that

confusion can be felt all at once because having a single identities quite a luring seems easier would your book has been really really well received in the u.s. why do you think it resonated with readers there and did it also resonate with readers in the media i was actually surprised by its reception i went into the whole thing of publishing a book very skeptical because i didn't want to get my hopes up and i wasn't sure if people would consider it to difference or to foreign or to sense it in a world that was unfamiliar and that we i really underestimated read and that was one of the more delightful things. having the book come out was realizing that people wanted to know more about experiences that were different that people wanted to know more about different ways of being and and so that i think was one of the most gratifying things about its reception in the states the reception in the area

so far has been good i'm only able to kind of gauge it through social media i haven't been able to go back home. but i'm really looking forward to that because there's a way in which the book. doesn't need to be translated it doesn't need to be explained there are a lot of concepts in the book that nigeria's just immediately know. it's a very different starting point just very briefly if i can ask you what's life been like since you released your book you appeared in the video and not even weights took your picture how do you like a roller coaster it really has been a roller coaster i've been doing a lot of publicity work for the book i think really what i've learned is that it's a lot more hectic to have a book come out than i previously anticipated i've had to really learn how to take care of myself. so it's been good in that way and we wish you continued success maisie and you've got already like another book out of the third one in the works godspeed thank you so much thanks

a lot aren't we want to bring you up to speed now with some of the other stories making news around the world. ugandan pop star an opposition lawmaker bobby wine says he was planning to return to his native country to fight for what he called the oppressed speaking in washington wind details of his alleged torture at the hands of ugandan security forces uganda us government has denied allegations. a military court in south sudan has jailed ten soldiers for their role in a violent attack on foreigners in two thousand and sixteen the men were found guilty of gang raping foreign aid workers and murdering a journalist at a hotel in the capital juba the soldiers received jail sentences ranging from ten years to life. germany's foreign minister heikal moscow has ended a trip to turkey aimed at normalizing relations after the tensions of recent times the mood music was positive and must pave the way for

a little king to normalize relations but also to make them significantly better. that feel 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's 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. but 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 is another. 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. what is not improving our turkeys are relations with the us that have been under strain lately impacting the turkish economy and there is little improvement in that

dependent upon imports these costs are excruciating besides even if you can't come up with the money paper suppliers are not eager to take the papers out of their storage because it's not clear what the price will be in two hours when the. readers have more urgent needs meanwhile and even those are often out of reach. we used to buy eggs for ten turkish lira now at sixteen i can't make eggs i can't afford eggs for breakfast. lunch future doesn't look bright the reason she took to english i think we already passed that threshold of being shut down i believe that le monde is turkey's longest live satirical magazine but for the future we don't have a projection to kill them. usually just for the most it is. no laughing matter for a funny magazine. experts say that unpredictable weather

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. class 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 man 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 the boycott questioning the company's decision to side with the take in the campaign. many consumers of praising nike for its decision however claiming they are now more likely to purchase nike merchandise than ever before. i always wear new balance because they are white and now i would like to wear night

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 have also praised the message behind the 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. anything else anybody's talking about . you know when they align with calling capper 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. and culture editor robin merrill is here and get to see you a robin this is obviously

a sports story there is that a political element to it but also a cultural aspect yeah indeed i mean advertising is a part of mass culture and the primary idea is to sell products but over the recent years have often mean political stances in advertising campaigns it goes back actually to the nineteen eighties and bennett who the very famous i'm controversial you know if you call is a brand that is in campaign that created such a for rory back then. there's one picture from it this is a picture i want to mention and israeli and a palestinian around each other then this one with three hallmarks of white hell of a black yellow heart because that was where all the same color inside and another one of a politician supporting mr weld politicians because the guy i'm going to mangle the kissing sarkozy obama kissing hugo. and his wife of see those were real photos

and right up to date this is of course refugees being rests rescued in the mediterranean what's that got to do with benson well all i can say is that the benetton advertising campaign was in there because they're still doing it and they're still in business but they were really there for the shock value let's turn our focus back to this nike controversy because this is the first time that they waited in such a way no it isn't they released and i have not long ago in mexico and of course it's about shoes but you wouldn't think so do you think traffic jam mothers doing outdoors was has sort of a typical sort of the. then it all changes when she sees her running going by and it becomes very much a feminist being thrown out but even as little it goes two years ago you wouldn't have a room in an ad but things are changing advertising agencies do nowadays follow

what's going on and. the ad goes viral on social media and they choose a burning talking topic like that friends made to one of those campaigns now one of the biggest biggest brands if not the biggest brand in the world also recently created a very clever ad campaign in south america. i actually i have to say i didn't know about the still a few days ago but i think it's wonderful i mean i can measure its coca-cola they took a very homophobic phrase in portuguese which is cocoa i fanta which makes fun of gay people and. phrases coca cola in front of which is also a by coca-cola and they just signed to create a special limited edition of a mixture of coke and found and they launched a campaign on gay pride brazil and you know what they changed the whole meaning of the phrase it is no longer

a drug actually phrase it's been taken by the gay community and i think it's a brilliant thing that they've done today by the way they were selling this product they were just doing it to get noticed as well as need to do so on the other hand we have to say their rivals see made a huge mistake here with that featuring kendall jenner trying to defuse a tense situation. by handing a riot policeman a pepsi i mean this completely backfired and pepsi were accuser triggered off trivializing black lives matter and the ad by the way was withdrawn so in one case you get coca-cola they did two. range a lot of us jews did get good things and then pet c. you know it's it's a very fine line isn't it i mean i have seen really did not read the wrong well. the room well that's a book oh right now before we get all carried away and a tribute to all sorts of civil rights movement to characteristics to nike they're

there to make money this is a business of coles what is the interesting thing i think a few years ago young people wished that maybe i mean i was interested in being politically correct they weren't supporting campaigns but young people today are they people ten years got hitched as didn't have a conscience i believe young people do have a conscience today and facts why they're doing these out in the spring success has been successful by tapping into a mood and people like you say you can about these issues so she knew right thank i predict robyn thank you so much as always a pleasure to have you here with us and thank you so much for spending this part of your day with a lot of her rock and now i have a great point. iraqi
