this is you don't really use life for berlin turning point british lawmakers gear up for a series of crucial votes to determine the fate of breaks it all and these are of course are vote on a number of new options for leaving the e.u. will it consensus emerge and will prime minister theresa may keep her job when the dust settles also coming up. with difficult conversations a british author notes or write isn't discrimination and brags that arab britons and explains why she's done talking to white people about race. plus

turkish prisons which of tired of one's ruling eight k. party prepares to be tested in local elections while discontent is widespread with many turks hit by the country's economic recession. and also coming up walls words a female footballers gear up for their biggest match of the season with the rules poised to take on young in the champions league will a lack of investment compared to the men's team harms their chances. our well iraq is great to have you on everyone we start this broadcast with the crippling political deadlock in the u.k. british lawmakers are preparing to vote on a series of options that could steer the country's withdrawal process from the european union while the voting comes just a two. days after lawmakers took control of the parliamentary agenda in the

government while parliament is the now debating as we speak the proposals they include leaving the e.u. without a deal remaining in the bloc single market and customs union and also holding a new referendum well the plan is for the most popular ideas to move to a second vote on monday in hopes of finding one option that can command a majority well look lawmakers as you will work all have already rejected the brig's a deal negotiated with the e.u. by british prime minister three semi twice and the spice that may has again called on lawmakers to support it we have a deal which councils are you membership fee which don't see you making all the rules which gives us no need to gratian policy and the common agricultural policy for goods and is a common fisheries policy for good other options don't do dives other options would lead to delay to uncertainty and greece next are delivering threats prime minister

theresa may speaking there are moments ago while some minorities in britain say the issues surrounding the break the debate have fueled a rise in racist behavior journalists are already at zero a large fines the climate so fraught that she no longer wants to converse with white british people about race at all a large says the white majority refuses to confront systemic racism in british society and she's transformed her blog on racism into an award winning book which has just been released in german. london bath place and home to read me at a very large she's a twenty nine year old journalist and feminist and one hundred percent british. she's living in a country where some consider white to be the norm but since the bricks at referendum ready and others like her are being increasingly heckled on the street and told to go back where they came from. it's easy to spot racism when it's coming

from a crowd of hooligans but it's harder to pick out when it's anchored deep in the middle of society. that's why i ran a eto large wrote her book why i'm no longer talking to white people about race now being published in german. i don't want to fall into some silly trap and say oh everything got bad on some brit off the brits and before then it was all i ok. instead says at zero large systematic racism has been long entrenched in british society. and what she finds most infuriating is that even the most anti racist left leaning liberals are unaware of their own white privilege essentially the advantages of being white. i'm talking about the consequences of racial prejudice because it is it does have

a political purpose it's not just spontaneous the consequences are to afford unfair advantages so why people that's literally the point so for example black children in the u.k. are three times more likely to be thrown out of school than their white counterparts applicants with african or asian sounding names get fewer job offers than white rivals with the same qualifications. for a grex it may have reopened the debate on what it means to be british but according to ed a large racism is a problem that's been bubbling under the surface for a very long time. linda joining me here in the studio now is either a larger. we're so thrilled to have are here with us thank you so much for taking out the time to speak to us and congratulations on your german language propagation of your very successful i've heard and. we're really and we highlight that

highlighted that as well in the report it really struck a chord with me is your observation shared by many people of color that even the most well intentioned anti-racist progressive people are unaware or blind to the entitlement that comes with being white can you expand on that a lot of what you meant by that well what i meant by that is. it's easy to point at the far right which i think when we see recent electoral gains when we see recent foreign political activity we turn convince ourselves it's somewhat new when actually it's always attempting to push into the margins so it's easy to point the finger at that but less easy to actually take a step back and look at some of the biggest data that shows us just how systemic like way szell disadvantage is in our society and what i try to do with the book is really illustrate how that takes hold in institutions that we. should

expect to treat australian institutions that we have no option but to interact with so employment education housing health care we all need a job we all need to get an education we all need to be housed in the book there's quite a lot of little original reporting in particular as well as day to from government you know i sent essentially like government data that shows that in those institutions that we expect to see especially there is a huge structural bias against people of color more broadly but black people in general and so i think we are not attempting to shine address those then. it's it's not good enough just to point to the far right you know british it's so intrinsic as you just outlined and as you found in your research or for this book i mean how can it be overcome it's almost insurmountable i think the first thing is to acknowledge they even exists you know but one thing that has become quite clear

to me during many years of being a writer and being interested in anti-racism is that i think it can make society comfortable to feel like we're opposed to a show like that is these are problems from the past but i actually think that that leads to a sense of complacency i think we always have to be vigilant about how that bias can set into those institutions that we expect to take us to treat us fairly and largely like structures organizations they are made up of people it's not a coincidence if you walk into the offices of someone incredibly powerful and every single person who is senior is white that's not a coincidence and you know in britain where i have been tempted to try and be a freelance journalist have the best part of a decade it's astounding that a journalism industry that is concentrated in the south east of england one of the most diverse areas in the country is about ninety percent white you know you can

leave you can leave the busy diverse multicultural street enter a news room and be blinded you know by by how white it is and what i'm saying is that that's not not normal and it's not an indication of talent particularly it's an indication of bias of bias in that system and what i'm arguing is that we need to at least confronts that the most talented people in our society don't just happen to be white to their that there was a quiet pool a quiet bias is happening each time. we coincidentally find ourselves of middle aged white men being in charge all the time so what we i mean take us back to the process of you know what got you writing this book where you. trying because a lot of people are interpreting the title as being very divisive we're trying to provoke a conversation two weeks people up to this notion of this by is that there exists in the u.k. and in other places as well and when i first wrote the blog post which is about

five years ago now all i was attempting to do was express myself i've been involved in progressive activism for a few years and it was physically painful actually to try and talk to white women in particular but white people in general who were interested in you know farewelled a more just world feminist world trying to talk to them about any form of racism was met with denial and hostility and i tried that for a few years and came to the conclusion that i couldn't do it anymore so i very much meant why me why we're in that blog post and i very much meant the times of that blog post that became the types of the book i think there's something in society a little bit like when somebody who is not the norm not a usual thought to voice in my case a young black woman. attempts self-expression there's the there's this suggestion that it must be done must be being done for the majority that i must be doing it for the benefit of white people that my exact entire existence is to provoke and.

i'm unsure about that i mean i thought feel it follows the same argument that you know if i decide to leave my house in a short skirt because i feel comfortable in it and it's self-expression i'm doing that for men's enjoyment i think that like as a rights source and foremost i can claim self expression as much as a middle aged white man and it's me attempting to try and express myself through writing like the deepest feelings in my head and and soul and and it was done for myself more so than anybody else well i think in the meantime it's such a timely moment to have this book out there and you're probably helping a lot of people. start a conversation at least that is the aim and i think that one thing that we have to remember with this book it's easy to suspend logic sometimes but the word why which opens the title suggests an explanation so if if you're interested is always that

to pick up and read and if you're not also quite enough to read it or any as or a large why i'm no longer talking to white people about race thank you for spending time with us and we wish you continued success thank you for having me. and next up turkey which is gearing up for local elections on sunday fifty seven million voters across the country will pick mayors councilors and local representatives with the turkish economy in deep trouble president richard tiber to one's ruling a party faces a stiff challenge and sunday's vote is seen as a referendum on his rule while the turkey correspondent you haven't met up with one local politician with a very familiar name. they did. this tea house in the town of go to commute is more crowded than usual. because today. our don is making a companion visit so long that it or it was not there on this regimen honest

twenty years old in the political newcomer in turkey's local elections he wants to become a monk to a neighborhood chief he's not related to the turkish president but the name he says has helped him with his career choices somewhat in the mood of the audience people often don't believe me at first and ask if i'm joking on that i get it you know then i showed them my id card it's an honor for me to have the same name as our president on this very much he's the respected and beloved leader of our country so you're lumbered what about people say they will vote for me. because of my personality and my name that is i believe this name will help me six yards more than i've been in a note of. edwin's namesake the president is also complaining hard. he's making several speeches a day a key drill. even though he's not up for election. and one is hoping his own personal popularity will help make the difference because after

a decade and a half in power his ruling party is facing losses. devastated that time that that's mainly because of the worsening economic situation last year's currency crisis sent annual inflation soaring to about twenty percent and sept growth unemployment is on the rise. not just here in istanbul people are now queuing for subsidized vegetables in state run markets solid growth and rising living standards have driven the president the electoral success in the past sixteen years but now turkey is in the midst of a recession and many voters say. they're frustrated about the economy polls suggest this could erode support for add ons ruling a thai party especially in the largest cities in the capital ankara and here in istanbul. losing them would be a symbolic blow says journalist is most simas both cities have been under a.k.p.

control throughout add once time in power water for its own kind of a stumble if that opposition wins istanbul ankara we may begin to discuss the possibility of snap elections here in turkey. istanbul is strongly associated with . he was elected as municipal mayor here then he became mayor of istanbul. after that prime minister and then president on the storm will do if is a k.p.s. defeated in istanbul it will be a political earthquake for. the lid on them when i get. back to the tea house where the young regift type ad one is trying to win some votes he also he has many complains about the economy but it is just the younger people don't have jobs it's become very hard push up owners over nothing is good here anymore nothing he yeah the young out one says he wants to tackle these problems at least in his neighborhood but he can't be sure of victory as he's facing two challenges much is

at stake in the local elections both tragic type of violence. let's bring up to speed now with some of the other stories making news around the world. health officials in mozambique have confirmed five cases of cholera the first says the world health organization warned of a possible epidemic breaking out for two weeks after cyclone each day hit the u.n. is appealing for more than a two hundred eighty million dollars in aid it says up to three million people in mozambique and neighboring countries have been affected by the disaster. and yet says it has shut down a satellite and a missile tests prime minister narendra modi made the announcement in a live address so weeks before the country's general election on the original rival pakistan responded by issuing a call on his foreign ministry website against military threats in outer space. a boeing seven three seven max operated by southwest airlines has made an emergency

landing in florida or the crew on the noncommercial flight reported engine problems shortly after takeoff and returned to our land our international airport airlines around the world have ground at their max passenger jet fleets the following two recent crashes on this plane was being returned to storage for the duration of the back. austrian investigators have raided the apartment of a right wing party leader over alleged connections to the christ church attacker in new zealand martin selmer a leader of the far right identity movement of austria admitted he received a large donation from the attacker who killed fifteen muslims in two mosques earlier this month but seller denies having any direct connection to the government . you're watching the w. news still to come. bill there isn't valerie stumble across a mass grave of jews shot by the nazis during world war two sparking

a dispute between historians and city officials will tell you why. but first the e.u. is set to scale down its anti migrant trafficking operation in the mediterranean sea where rescue missions from operation sophia will be suspended though after surveillance will continue the decision is aimed at resolving the dispute with elite which threaten to halt the entire mission unless rescued migrants are taken to other countries from our brussels studio by rebecca ritter's a good to see you rebecca the mission isn't over but they'll no longer be aware skewing migrants at sea how is that going to work. that's right leyla the e.u. has announced that it will be scaling back that maritime portion of the mission but it has extended the saffir mission for another six months to give members states time to organize

a coordinated approach to migration they haven't had much luck with that so far of course no ships means obviously no rescues at sea. under the mission the mission was is not set up to be there to rescue migrants it is not part of its remit instead it is there to combat people smugglers and weapons trade with illegally trading but obviously under international law that say rescuing people at sea has become a de facto obligation of the mission and as you know of the as i just said no ships at sea will mean no more risk use but if the italian coast guard who looks after the operation has been. funneling the ships that are there out to areas where there are no. excuse me people smuggling going on in any way effectively making them useless and in germany germany in january in fact already pulled out its ships so

this is just a further step to that aren't circa thirty seconds left there's still be air surveillance but what can that achieve without the naval side of the operation. well they haven't give much coverage given much information as to how that will operate but one can only assume that will be close to shore and then they will be getting in contact with the libyan coast guard which they're also training as part of the mission who will then go out and be able to pick up those ships and bring them back to the libyan coast record ritter's are reporting from brussels thank you . to belarus now and the discovery that has shocked people in the city of breast ordering construction work on an apartment complex billers on earth a mass grave containing the remains of more than a thousand jews killed by the nazis during world war two work was halted and the remains have now been examined but there's controversy following the authorities decision to resume construction to w.'s and we show in reports.

bones jewelry and even shoes the past is pushing into the light. this is the site of a mass grave of jews shot by the nazis it was found doing construction work in the center of breast during the german occupation in the second world war the area was a jewish ghetto tens of thousands were executed in and around breasts during that time the site is currently closed off to the public including to local historian every lover of gaia she has been petitioning to stop the building work and argues that should be a memorial park here and not an apartment complex. people shouldn't be able to live on the spot of a mass execution half of the population of the city was killed within several days here half of the people can you imagine the. that pain continues to exist and will not give us peace until we learn to respect history and what

happened here. that we get you so sore from wish to preserve. a special battalion of the belorussian army has been in charge of the excavations most of these young soldiers are doing their military service here in total they have found the remains of over eleven hundred bodies which will be repaired at a local cemetery. and right next to this musgrave the building work for a modern apartment complex will now continue it's a lucrative project one square meter is selling for nearly twice the average market price and breast the city authorities say the foundations of the building won't touch the mass graves and it will be marked with a memorial plaque. at the an apartment complex is the right thing for this spot it's what the city needs a well tended to area in the center they used to be unsightly houses here when it should be tidy and beautiful. this isn't the first time that billed as

a funny bones during construction in the historical center but not everyone impressed agrees that should be apartments on the mass graves. it will be done to build houses there that should be a memorial instead. we have to find a civilized way to solve this problem after all every city in europe is built on people's bones. to produce go through. rena is determined to see the site of the mass grave with her own eyes the forward becomes a landscape courtyard and the quaintance of hers is a direct from her window she says the building project shows that the bella russian authorities are insensitive and haven't learned any lessons from the past the russian authorities have been criticised before for building on jewish cemeteries as recently as twenty seventeen or so lost in this country the authorities only respect the memory of the soviet protectors of the breast fortress for example of soldiers who fought unequally to tell

a tarion country with weapons in their hands that they respect. the construction company had told us the apartment complex would be a gated community now says the authorities insist the grounds will be open to the public. and we sure are not reporting from the. next up the u.s. space agency or nasa is facing criticism for counseling were what have been the first all female space walk because get this they don't have enough space suits and the right size all astronauts are christine arcata seen here on the left was to be joined by her colleague and a claim but it's only one medium sized chute it was already a male astronaut will now join car on the walk on friday according to nasa only during her first spacewalk last week that mcclain realized a medium sized suit fit her best. and i mean suits could not be configured entirely
