breathe a huge sigh of relief at the women's world cup as one of the tournament favorites to returns to the winner's circle at the expense of powerhouse brazil. i'm sumi so much got to thank you for joining us. the united states and iran escalates their war of words over attacks on 2 oil tankers in the gulf of oman the u.s. military has released a video that it says supports claims that tehran is to blame for the explosions u.s. secretary of state mike pompei oh also alleges that tehran was behind the blasts but iran says the u.s. allegations are baseless. smoke billows from a stricken ship but is it a smoking gun the u.s. says iran was behind attacks on 2 oil tankers in the gulf of oman.

this is miss based our intelligence the weapons used the level of expertise needed to execute the operation recent similar arabian attacks on shipping and the fact that no proxy group operating in the area has the resources and proficiency to act with such a high degree of sophistication. the u.s. military has released photographs appearing to show damage and a limp it's mine on one of the time because. it also published a video of grainy black and white footage that it says shows evidence of iran's revolutionary guard removing an unexploded limp it. on thursday a fire broke out on a norwegian oil tanker following explosions. hours later a 2nd tanker japanese and also radioed for help one ship had departed saudi arabia the other the united arab emirates passing through the strait of hormuz as a strategically important waterway which carries

a 5th of all global oil supplies that iran has rejected to the u.s. accusations and says its navy came to the aid of one of the ships iranian state t.v. broadcast images of the rescued crew members iran's foreign minister said the incidents were suspicious. and leaders from around the world expressed. facts must be established and the responsibility is clearly fired. and if there is something the world cannot afford is a major confrontation in the gulf region russia cautioned against rushing to blame iran. we've recently witnessed an escalation campaign of political psychological and military pressure on iran. against speculating about the events that have just occurred to aggravated the situation in an empty iranian sense. is just weeks since the us blamed iran for

a series of attacks on 4 other ships in the region thanks to all details have yet to be released iran has also rejected those accusations. earlier we spoke to back from the german institute for international and security affairs he told us the world should prepare for an armed conflict between the united states and iran the strait strait of hormuz is crucial to the flow of middle east oil exports and therefore a strategic position for iran to attack here's what he said it simply it's the energy region of the player of the planet some of the biggest oil and gas supporters. in the persian gulf among them saudi arabia kuwait as a gas exporter and the strait of hormuz is is quite a narrow narrow place and the iranians by using limpet mines by using all these small means top and so on would be able to prevent many ships from passing through

and that is that is why these events are so dangerous and if this goes on as it has been going on for 2 months now we will see a military escalation before the end of the administration. now to some other stories making news around the world a british court is that next february for a hearing to decide whether wiki leaks founder julian assange should be extradited to the u.s. washington as accused of conspiring to hack government computers and directing wiki leaks publication of secret documents. the man accused of killing $51.00 people at 2 christ church mosques has pleaded not guilty to all the charges brought against him the 28 year old australian brenton terence entered not guilty pleas to $51.00 charges of murder 40 charges of attempted murder and one terrorism charge when he appeared at christ church high court in relation to the march 15th massacre crusher

sudan's state prosecutor has announced that ousted former president omar al bashir has been charged with corruption all bashir was toppled by the military in april following months of protests against him the legal action comes as mediators stepped up efforts to end the standoff between the country's military rulers and their civilian opponents. and another top aide to u.s. president donald trump is quitting we love our white house spokeswoman sarah huckabee sanders is to leave her job at the end of june sanders has been trump's spokeswoman since 2017 and her tenure has seen growing questions about the administration's credibility a replacement has not get the name. drugs and chemicals company buyer has launched a p.r. offensive to counter the growing criticism of its weed killer round up and its controversial key ingredient life a state that the company says it has listened and understood and will find

a more sustainable alternative to glyphosate. buyer is making headlines once again following talks with politicians shareholders and environmental activists the company has conceded that it must make changes they promise to invest 5000000000 euros in research over the next 10 years to develop a more sustainable alternative to glyphosate in the p.r. campaign however buyer is repeating it mantra life a site is safe when used correctly and it wishes to continue selling the product but the very existence of this p.r. campaign shows buyer is feeling the pressure of court cases in the us have done particular damage to the company's image and their bank balance by a was sued for $2000000000.00 in my by a married couple who both got cancer and a further $13400.00 people have filed lawsuits their dented reputation is reflected in the share price which is almost hard in just one year shareholders are

understandably disgruntled and they didn't hold back against see that the annual shareholders meeting in they fear the acquisition of monsanto and with the weed killer roundup could spell the end for environmental activists just as unhappy they pointed out the potential risks of glyphosate long ago. is with us to talk more about the story where we think here from buyer is this an about face not really it's they're not stopping or they're not getting out of glasses or they're not taking it off the mark or anything it is as our colleague said in the piece it is a p.r. exercise these are the ads they've put into a variety of newspapers today both in germany and key markets like the u.s. and france it's a bit of a green wash they say they want to invest 5000000000 euros in alternative school i've said that i'm more sustainable but on the at the same time they insist that life said is still safe if they continue to produce it and they continue to make

money that is monsanto becoming a huge liability for buyers well looks like that and shareholders by a shareholders definitely say it is why did they spend 63 $1000000000.00 to buy monsanto they also say they ship prices less by half and the management should have done their due diligence and they knew about the lawsuits they knew that u.s. juries tend to decide for the plaintiffs with big damages so shelters are asking why is that the case fought on the other hand the share price has dropped the show has lost $20000000000.00 in market market value that is much much exceeds the actual legal risks analysts say that while these court cases are go on appeal that they will be reduced and the real legal risk for bae is one to 6000000000 euros so that is roughly what they can expect so it might not be as bad as we all think but

definitely whether or not you believe that. it's a cause cancer or not whether it's dangerous for humans or not it definitely has been toxic for buy as a brand company certainly taking a big hit there again had offers from business thank you very much. now people across brazil are expected to take part in mass protests today against controversial plans to reform the country's pension system the plans are a key part of right wing president also narwhals efforts to revive brazil struggling economy they had balls raising the retirement age for both men and women pensions are not the only issue to buy in brazil the quality of education people receive often depends on the wealth of your family but some people are trying to change that system. every day after she finishes work at a beauty parlor maria sousa leaves her fellow behind sound gear or is one of many poor settlements ringing or rio de janeiro where the government is almost invisible

in daily life especially when it comes to education but it's. a lot of my neighbors barely know the alphabet and they don't know how to add or subtract correctly that means they can't get a loan is a terrible situation. maria goes to school in the evenings her goal is to get a middle school diploma public schools are the only option. to build your you know now when i was younger in the countryside there were very few teaches i lived far from the city and very few teachers came we had terrible conditions in school. but my. son. sylvia had a motor on wants to help maria get her diploma he's an engineer by trade 5 times a week on a square in the middle of rio he offers free tuition in math physics and for the illiterate people the alphabet it's a neighborhood project 25 teachers helping 100 students to plug the gaps in the

state school system. second i have high rates of violent crime is the consequence of brazil's terrible education system and unemployment for people who don't have a good education i want to help educate people to improve the quality of their life to live it is us so that troubled education system disproportionately affects favela residents but there are exceptions like the public school or seen a fun seka almost all that students come from poor backgrounds. attendances free and yet conditions aren't catastrophic materials d.s. is a star pupil and has a passion for electronic engineering the school is able to cater to that enthusiasm with modern equipment thanks to international donors. so which engine ange sympathies once said that knowledge liberates the spirit of man and man himself and a bad person is bad because they're ignorant. and ignorant.

they all seem off on 2nd school is an exception to the rule helped by incredibly motivated teachers set up by yeah yeah so we work with values such as sustainability because these are important for us and our planet but also the human rights that apply to all of us wanted to deplore. brazil's president to show you both the narrow is not considered a friend of human rights and has spoken out against minorities he also questions climate change could put creationism on the curriculum and wants to militarize schools. meanwhile is struggling with math. but the 55 year old won't give up she's improving slowly but surely. on her way home she passes expensive private schools parents pay fees of up to a $1000.00 euros

a month to send their children here. we bought and they are black indigenous or poor people less intelligent than wealthy ones no they just don't have the same chances if they had those that life would be different brazil would be a better and more developed country but right now that is not the case. and u.k. should in brazil is still a question of money. well as we mentioned people across brazil are expected to take part in mass protests today let's bring in sam cowie a journalist based in sao paulo hi sam thank you for joining us so brazilians will be taking to the streets there not just protesting education cuts but really a whole range of issues tell us more about why people are going out today. well today's more of a general strike than a protest as what we're seeing is transport network public transport networks eans

wincey ounce of the twins he resilient states and the dish and the federal district 2. we are seeing this says partially paranoia is paralyzed from now whether that will improve in the day as it as it often does in these strong situations that's probably what we can expect the main issue for the shrine is as well as the proposed education cuts is the pension reform a reform of the social security service that would essentially see many brazilians most brazilians for longer not be out. as early as they would so at now now they see this reform is seen as crucial by members of joy ableson aros government to get brazil's flailing a coin to me back on track but it's encountered resistance pretty much across the board is an unpopular reform because essentially nobody wants to work for longer

and there are there are other camps that say some kind of reform is necessary but not the reform that sonora wants to paulson and there are other towns that are just completely against any kind of pension reform and said you know frustration with paulson our government is growing these are not the 1st protests that we've seen since he took office but how much is this actually affecting both the now in his government and his popularity. well i mean that's a very difficult one i would say really at the moment a big jury see overall position to both sonorities government really i mean that had been you know sizable processed eccentric but most of the opposition is coming from what we've been saw at the government you know yesterday we saw the 2nd was the 3rd minister in fact to leave his government that was the general sense of screws was very much seen as a kind of moderating force inside the government a sort of kind of i don't in the room if you will compared to some of these very

extreme and he globalist types we've seen you know the forces inside of his governments who so you know this is a menace and that's left in you know digital more than 6 months that that's quite something in brazil while the these protests they may not generate general satisfaction that make you know cool satisfaction ok you know pushes faction so much with both sonora governments but you know it's it's it's all a sawing that things are not going that well the no guns a plan and you know the size of the protests today and the people on the street that would be that's that's another that will be another victory for people that are opposed to his government basically all right journalist as sam kiley speaking to us from how paul of thank you so much thank you. now women in switzerland are on a 24 hour strike for more equality it's been nearly 30 years since the last such

protest and demonstrators say too little has changed it was only in 1901 that the last swiss canton was forced to grant women the right to vote. purple stands for parity or at least it does and switzerland today at midnight hundreds of women and gathered for the life to launch of a new nationwide strike aimed at highlighting switzerland's failure to defend the rights of women and families ok we literally did a quality is enshrined in the constitution but real effective quality doesn't exist for all women that it was because of them of that is that we have so many claims and so many reasons for this large popular protest by women but that's because despite when these laws we have really obtained equality mark back in 1901 the 1st women strike in the alpine nation made history when half a 1000000 women rallied to call for gender equality. but that he is on

thousands of swiss women from all walks of life are again downing tools in protest . they say despite its high living standards switzerland still falls short of the mark when it comes to putting women on a level playing field with men. put it says off that we're really behind european neighbors when it comes to ensuring that women are able to do their jobs whether it's school hours a very high cost of day care no paternity leave. activists hope this new pope will wave of discontent will force policymakers to put issues affecting half the population back into focus. now on the international stage a local mayors election doesn't usually attract much attention but here in germany a vote in gurlitz is coming under close scrutiny the medieval town sits right on the border with poland it's a popular tourist destination but what's attracting interest right now is that

a member of the right wing populist party the f.t. might be about to become mayor something the other parties are joining together to try to prevent. sebastian vettel a former police officer and member of the far right populist party the f.t. he is running for mayor of gurlitz he's well liked around town and has already won the 1st round faluting that's got a lot of people very. big i know ensemble you don't have to be scared to leave just look around at the people here at the stand you can talk to anyone we're not vigilantes we're just regular conservative citizens and guns more moderate conservative liberal but many gurlitz residents disagree they are very devout the city's reputation gurlitz with its beautiful old town attracts many tourists it has also attracted tollywood directors some movies have even been filmed here hotel

owner martin feeds is very devout how his city will be perceived and the association of tourist businesses has written an open letter expressing its concern over the a.f.d. candidate although they didn't explicitly name him or his party the new food and shorn. we're worried that visitors may be scared off may have certain parties get the upper hand when. we feel this way because we've been listening to how visitors are reacting to the current elections it. businesses think that if the age of 15 moves into the town hall the number of tourists may fall at the moment 300. 1000 visitors a year stopped by gurlitz. for the 1st time in a if tea party member could become mayor of a german city that could send a powerful message to the rest of the country that's why political parties here in gurlitz are working together trying to prevent that. the man who has profited most

from the current political unrest of supposing candidate octavian or so of this he's lived in gurlitz for 30 years nevertheless his opponents accuse the native remaining in off not being a true gurlitt but now the left and greens are also supporting him through their showing of goodness what is good for the old are looking to gurlitz as a guide for how to deal with the future should we remain open or to learn soft. proposes. there's more at stake here than just who wins the mayoral election gurlitz has become a symbol of whether or not the far right is gaining a foothold not just in the city but across eastern germany. all right there was a big clash at the women's world cup yesterday and anthony howard is here to take us into the game between brazil and australia hi anthony so australia really needed to win this one to get their world cup campaign back on track yes they did spoiler

alert they did in the end but some context. months before the tournament began so the kind of the tournament off balance and people asking why he left we didn't give an answer on that then they lost the right in going to italy so one of the favorites came here and uncertain terms lost to italy and then i face brazil that couldn't almost be worse a great thing with a great player in mata all of that meaning that as we approach this gun we're going to take a look as all the media reports this match was dripping with tension in the build up for. brazil welcomed their star player mark to the side and when the referee awarded a penalty to this shirt poll she stepped up to score the opening goal from the spot that was her 16th world cup go to new record i was trained they soon found themselves to no doubt crosstown cristiana and the in-form strike assented glancing header into the far corner brazil were flying but then australia's fight began i

1st came in for the deficit. touching home from close range then off to half time chloe look was cross invited everyone found its way into the new tutu and the momentum was with australia the matildas took advantage this longball caused confusion in brazil's defense and monica headed goalkeeper. a spirited fight back from australia and one that keeps their world cup hopes alive. and right smiles all around there for australia. as well resident australian what about the other day and other game yesterday china versus south africa china might have really great impression on germany quite literally they left a lot of bruises on the on the german women but then left a great impression of i played a really tough guy we're going to take a look at their match against south africa but what they found to do in that game was score a goal we can be as competent as eli he can be as calm as hot as you like but if you don't have that finishing touch like we see here from you that was in the 44th

minute that's what i like the 1st time round i got at least on the uniform bowling and the finish that was just gorgeous to look like them out of school the 2nd but it was ruled out crucially they get the one no result zoomie that means a lot for them because they're still in the running running to get out of the group phases but in a broader context for germany that means a lot that means they progress out of the group germany going to the next stage the knockout phase and i can do what the german men did not in russia and that's get out of the group and who place today how 3 games jamaica italy that's the other side pub many of the astride the intro draw if only when they almost good to get through the unfancied when they come so they won their 1st game against australia if they can do it again against jamaica they're in a really great position that's in group c. group d. japan who are the 2011 champions they've got a great young same they've regenerated by play against scotland and then england against argentina that's usually where we draw out the old headlines that quite the

falkland islands to football and getting a break out of the men's side this on the women's side doesn't have that history england of the favorites and they should win against argentina a lot to look forward to today and how it from the sports thank you thank you. basketball now in the trauma raptors have become the 1st known u.s. team to win the n.b.a. championship they did beat defending champions the golden state warriors in game 6 in california that gave the raptors a $42.00 series when they are the 1st canadian team to win a major north american sports title since the trying to bludgeon one baseball's world series and 1993 fans back home and trying to celebrate a long into the night. or mind or an off our top story on d w the united states has released a video it says proves that iran was behind the attacks on 2 oil tankers in the gulf of oman on thursday but iran has called the claims baseless and alarming.
