christian. let's go through this with data because when the borrowing base will who's in fana welcome barbara so the chancellor is proposing to sack the interior minister so what to explain just what that means and that means that after 3 days of the does the ring and behind the scenes trying to somehow disinfect the freedom party enough to continue the coalition was them he has now acknowledged that that is not possible they have not understood the true dimensions off the scandal. cord set and so he has decided to finally kick out interior minister parable to kill that was necessary because he would be the one hugh he would who would have to investigate the allegations now nobody here in austria trusts absolutely sort of to clean the own stables that is impossible and courts knows of

course that this trust likes and generally he said there was a lot of trust lost in politics and in his government's through this even scandal and therefore he finally pulled the curtain on the coalition because now what will happen is that the rest of the freedom party ministers will step down and he will then sort of have to install an expert government for the interim phase to the elections in september. elections in september. how likely is it had the chancellor himself well will end up being a casualty of this whole scandal. he might yet become a casualty rather sooner than later because the next step is going to be that there will be a motion of no confidence in parliament probably already this month say that could be voted on as early as next monday so if all of the parties get behind it if their freedom party who is now out for revenge manages to say ok let's kick courts and

then the social democrats the greens and the liberals say all right let's finish this charade then chords would be down then you would need a different interim government till the elections and you know things would get really uncertain here so this is a gamble of course but of course but courts could in the end the pressure was rising couldn't in the end not do anything else but really pull the curtain on the freedom party it was not tenable more and more people were telling him that now it's over you have to sort of finally say so and acknowledge that either people will sort of stay if you're so right as social democrats won't pull the plug on you or you just have to take the consequences bob a very slow in fan of thank you. now let's look at some of the other stories making news around the world i just have to form a committee of the residents here was 4 names presence of ukraine has announced

a 20 year jail term fix. now iran has condemned a threat by donald trump on twitter this weekend the us president warned about the end of iran as a response to hans forum and jeff had zarif used his twitter account to say iranians have stood tall for millenia while its aggressors are all gone economic terrorism and genocidal towards weren't and iran never threatened an iranian try and respect it works relations between the 2 countries have been have worsened since washington pulled out of the 2015 nuclear deal last year tensions rose further when mr trump announced more economic measures against iran earlier this month. d w salim humphrey is following the story from washington i asked her if this latest war of words was likely to escalate into a military conflict. well i certainly have been a lot of angry tweets of course fail and this is not the 1st time that the u.s.

president has been involved in a war of words of course on twitter but i think certainly there is some international consternation that this could spark an international situation i think that was summed up well by the british foreign secretary jeremy hunt speaking at the united nations in geneva who said let us not see this rhetoric round part and then you don't see 2 countries full into an accidental conflict was essentially he's a warning but i think this war of words is certainly symptomatic of trump's foreign policy stance a mix of flattery and then battery battery with that tweet but let us not forget that also speaking on fox news last night we saw the u.s. president say i don't want to go to war with iran war colonies before swiftly adding that it also kills people as well but then disheartened rhetoric that we saw on twitter ratcheting up that rhetoric and many people say it is hard to know what

donald trump the man actually thinks about iran and how to proceed further many accuse him of being influenced by those around him in washington this talk about those around to because reports are all over the place this suggest that the security advisor john bolton is really the man behind the president who is pushing for. change in iran what are you hearing. so certainly in washington fail it's understood that the national security advisor john bolton is somebody who is hawkish on a number of countries whether that is venezuela whether that's north korea and also iran and we certainly saw that show of force with the moving of b. 52 bombers and naval warships into the gulf at the moment that's seen as a show of force grandstanding but certainly john bolton does have that reputation and people are accusing john bolton of goading the u.s. president into war and that's also an accusation we saw on twitter from the iranian

foreign minister himself saying that the president is being goaded by team b. the b. team and by that he means john bolton the israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu as well as the saudi crown prince mohammed bin salma. what about reaction from other players in the region israel and saudi arabia for instance. saudi arabia has called for a regional meeting to deescalate the situation to discuss regional security it says that it does not want to go to war with the u.s. but rather but is prepared to defend itself israel of course the sworn enemy of iran we've seen those close relations between trump and netanyahu in recent months and certainly the israeli prime minister was delighted by washington's move to declare the iranian revolutionary guard a terrorist organization so i think we can certainly expect the latest rhetoric out of the u.s. to be welcomed by israel over the home from washington thank you. germany's

constitution or basic law marks it 70th anniversary this week it came into effect in may $149.00 after being written under the supervision of the victorious allied powers it's a was to ensure that after the years of nazi dictatorship and the destruction of the war the new federal republic of germany was built on solid democratic foundations 40 years later when west and east were reunited the constitution was adopted in the new me unified germany. but how relevant is the constitution in today's germany article one for example states that human dignity is inviolable as part of our series it's my rights our next story looks at what dignity means to a german man who was homeless for 10 years. also

because after going to the toilet taking a shower there normal things for everyone but how can you do this when you're homeless it's not so simple. dominick clone lived on the streets for 10 years always on the move looking for something to eat somewhere to sleep he says it was a life without dignity. i terminate quiz 16 when his mother threw him out the streets of st paoli became his home the red light district of hamburg. when we need each other up for a sleeping bag it's a fight for survival and then there's the sadistic violence and contempt where people come in they don't treat you with dignity but like dirt on and on and be direct on the sly they pee on your sleeping bag or batter us something there might

not be. tomorrow maybe someone will set me on fire beat me to death you end up living just for the here and now and trying to stay alive. yet dominic's got his high school diploma and volunteered in a clothing to pay for refugees people even worse off than him he sees this kind of thing all the time please wake up a sleeping homeless man and tell him to move on. this is also a question of dignity cool among us who sits down somewhere at lunchtime expects to be approached by 3 police officers and you see how they put on gloves because they're disgusted that's no way for people to treat each other. dominic is working to offer homeless people some dignity he's collecting donations to pay for a shower bath a bathroom on wheels with a dressing room full of clean clothes he learned what hygiene can means were passed

and when he was living on the streets. body and soul go hand in hand at some point if you physically dirty you turn inwards and feel in the end that you yourself are dirt has a lot to do with dignity and feelings of self-worth these are things that are lost on the streets i hope this bus can help taking showers to people who need them. dominic got his life in order he's 30 now and for the 1st time his existence is fairly secure he has work he has goals. and he has friends most importantly he says. i have an apartment and i appreciate what that means for me it's a luxury to be able to sleep in my boxer shorts or to wash myself whenever i feel like you know i need a shower. people have dignity.

and that's inviolable and that should apply to everyone washing is a large part of that. to paris for have the eiffel tower been closed to visitors or someone's been trying to scale the iconic landmark towers media office savvy unidentified individual trying to climb it outside the tower he seems to have made it to below the top few of pop for it's not the 1st time someone has attempted this in 2015 british free run climbed climbed up the tower without safety ropes i'm without a mission. and i've got you can always get d.w. news on the go just download the app for google play all from the apple store i'll give you access to all the latest news from around the world as well as push notifications for any breaking news you can also use it to send us some photos and videos. says that d w still to come business in africa
