the but. this is it every news live from berlin cold feet just minutes away from bombing iran the u.s. calls off military strikes president trump canceled a planned assault after finding out that $150.00 people could be killed the attack would have been in retaliation for terror and shooting down an unmanned american spy drone also coming up at the time to act young protesters from across europe calling governments to take bolder action and the climate change crisis this is a day after e.u. leaders filter gree on

a plan to make the blocks economy carbon neutral by 2050 and the 2nd try to appease the largest city istanbul holds a rerun vote to pick a mayor after an opposition candidate pulled off a surprise win the 1st time around the party president on could be voted out of office. and my heart thank you so much for your company everyone u.s. president donald trump has confirmed that he blocked a series of planned airstrikes on iran just 10 minutes before they were to go ahead in a tweet trump said the u.s. military was quote caught and loaded to retaliate on 3 different sites he said a general told him 150 people could have been killed trying bad at that such a strike would not have been a proportionate response to the downing of a u.s.

on man spied drone yesterday. let's take a closer look now at the shooting down of that unmanned drone and how it's been sealing tensions between washington and tehran. the iranian military released this dramatic video showing what it says is a surface to air missile shooting down an american drone. the footage cannot be verified but tear on says the u.s. aircraft was clearly flying over iranian territory when it was attacked. iranian t.v. ad what it described as wreckage from the drone a member of the revolutionary guard said they alerted the u.s. to the strike before it happened multiple warnings had been given to this aircraft in 2 stages but the u.s. military disputes the iranian fashion of events and has produced its own map to show that the drone was in international airspace when it was downed earlier president trump appeared to want to play down the incident suggesting it had been

an error by iran i think probably iran. made a mistake i would imagine it was a general or somebody that made a mistake in shooting that drone down trump had ordered the u.s. military to then prepare to strike targets in iran but then he changed his mind tweeting that he wanted to spare iranian lifes. all right let's get you know more from washington to be correspondents carla blacker is covering events there for you carla walk us through some of the reactions to president chomps last minute change of heart. nancy pelosi the house majority speaker has said that she is very glad that trump has called off their strike at the last minute she however also said that she was not informed before hand even though a 2nd in line to the presidency this would usually be information that she would that she would receive in advance and house minority speaker kevin mccarthy has said that the president has always been very clear about not wanting iran to have

nuclear weapons and that the president is acting according to a long term plan now carla there have also been the international reactions to present trump are calling off strikes the german shells on the american way dana let's take a listen to what she said earlier. i was of us in iran as far as iran is concerned the foreign policy advisers were talking on the sidelines of course we are concerned about the situation and we are banking on diplomatic negotiations on a political solution to a very tense situation who need to lose one guy in a sea on this functions it wants to win. a sigh of relief almost there from the chancellor now that the strikes have been called off is there a window of opportunity and opening for a possible diplomatic resolution to this crisis. while both parties are very sad in their ways and no one wants to be seen as the one to

give and 1st the u.s. has so recently moved $1000.00 additional troops to the middle east and iran has said a while ago that its missiles could now reach u.s. military bases in the region on the other hand the u.s. has asked for a u.n. security council meeting on monday it will be a close meeting but. we'll just have to wait and see if that yields any results at a correspondent karl of like or in washington thank you. and back here in germany thousands of students from across europe gathered near a coal mine in western germany to call on governments to take bolder action in the climate crisis organizers said up to 20000 protesters from 16 countries gathered in the city of auckland near germany's border with belgium and the netherlands well it comes a day after european union leaders failed to agree on a plan to make the blocks economy carbon neutral by 2050. fridays for

future demonstrators are making a lot of noise this time protesters from 17 countries have gathered in on 20000 demonstrators are expected to take part they want to increase pressure on politicians to me right when it's 7 hours to come here from naples south of you know because i think that the extremely important to denounce the situation right now. it's important that we stand together for something that matters to all of us i hope someone will finally listen. germany's green party is excited that so many people are demonstrating for climate protection the greens tweeted most people want to stop our dependence on coal quickly and today thousands are demonstrating again for more climate protection. thousands of demonstrators are on their way to the nearby village of fearsome where they will show their support for climate protection at the largest mining area in europe. they hope to influence politicians

thru civil disobedience the deliberate final ation of law and order. and we accept the fact that we might get arrested because the climate crisis is so urgent it affects us all and that's why we're deliberately exercising civil disobedience to demand a phase out of coal power. this week the entire western rhineland is the focus point of the climate protest movement. thousands of protesters have gathered here and i am generous westernmost city they have launched what they call the 1st international climate strike i have met mostly students coming from germany but also some from neighboring countries such as belgium france or the netherlands they demand they ask for more climate action their main priority is ending brown coal mining in germany the open pit lane iron mines and power plants in the region the rhine and reachin one of the main sources of c o 2 emissions in europe one of the

protesters a 15 year old told me that the government's plan to keep these plants running for another 20 years which us crazy but an older gentleman watching the protests here also called them naive in that a month for an immediate end to brown coal mining yet public support has recently risen in germany for climate action the environmentalists green party is leading the polls and that is a huge boost for climate activists such as those protesters here and often. and what he plans to phase out coal in power generation by 2038 but long before that size villages in the western german state of north rhine-westphalia are set to be demolished to make way for get this a coal mine all villagers will receive compensation but some of them are asking why they should give up their homes when germany is phasing out coal power altogether. they're inching ever closer the gigantic shovels of the lignite excavators

in a few years they're set to demolish the deal like village of kook home in north rhine-westphalia the place davi tyson his parents and grandparents call home davide grew up here and has no desire to leave a forced relocation would affect his 83 year old grandfather the most. when you lived here all these years and they want to take you away when you're they say. that's harsh. davi things and wants to prevent that so he's led demonstrations against. the local utilities company his resolve is further strengthened by the global climate crisis and the agreement to phase out brown coal he will not leave his village voluntarily . if it comes to tearing down the villagers the police will probably have to drag. we won't leave if it were that way given

that. we are staying put that their battle cry together with 50 other activists plays and has already prevented the construction of a bypass road for the utilities company. because that not under the road would have only been needed if all 5 villages in the open if it lying area of guards or otherwise destroyed the on the smoke we can allow that. germany has already agreed to phase out coal power in light of the climate crisis and the roads not needed most because of the planned phase out less coal is being used now so the villages could stand tact that's something both gobby things and many scientists agree on the part of the utilities company is standing firm. mostly poor coal has to come from somewhere and that's why we need the guards were there my god so relocating the 5 alleges it is necessary to for i guess beneath them lies the coal we need to supply the remaining power plants. sister

tina is also fighting to keep their village standing she's involved in the fridays for future demonstrations to raise awareness of the climate crisis it angers her that the utilities company wants to mine conant this stage. clearly and sounds like a rebellious child who knows it's wrong but wants to go ahead anyway and says we don't care what the scientists say we're going to go ahead anyway all i can say is no they have to be able to say that's it we have enough and admit they're making a mistake. the energy companies insist on their right to demolish the remaining villages but davida 900 trees and have been galvanized by the global climate demonstrations they hope they can see the place they call home. a leaders are deadlocked after sailing sergei on who should fill the blocks top jobs when the current administration finishes its work later this year all at the heart of the impasse is a disagreement between the e.u.

has 2 powerhouses france and germany. it wasn't exactly a defeat but german chancellor angela merkel can't be happy with the result at this hour none of the lead candidates social. encountered otten are still in the running chancellor merkel's last ditch efforts appear to have failed. its image did it as minutes after talking with donald tusk it's now clear to me that none of the leading candidates have been able to secure a majority in the european council and i can't see how that's going to change european council president donald tusk also seemed flustered the problems that i have nothing to add to what i said yesterday and well because i have some thick with fear but. i have nothing new to to communicate today so the leadership question remains unanswered for now but this was not the only setback to emerge during the 1st summit after the e.u.

parliamentary elections state leaders and governments disagree on a number of issues including climate policy which eastern european nations continue to block progress. the same commercial starting climate change we unfortunately fail to reach an agreement on the goal of being carbon neutral by 2050 but not everyone was disappointed with the meetings outcome french president i'm on your mark on seem to pleased with the political stalemate he's advocating getting rid of the leading candidate system for him the fact that none of the candidates could get a majority means only one thing so system this system doesn't work. we decided to start the procedure all over again with new names which we have yet to choose in order to find a new balance. he could if he was with already. so it's back to square one but the clock is taking the new leadership positions should be decided by the

beginning of july the leaders have agreed to meet again for a special summit just over a week from now to make sure they meet that deadline. what to say now but some of the other stories making news around the world. a british junior minister has been suspended or suspended after he was filmed grabbing and pushing a female climate change protester at a dinner for the finance industry foreign office minister mark feel the cost of the protester when she tried to approach philip haven't each chancellor of the exchequer as he made his speech the police are investigating the incident now. thousands of protesters have filled the streets of hong kong in another round of demonstrations well that's after a leader kerry lam ignored a deadline to withdraw a controversial bill to extradite suspects to mainland china activists have surrounded police headquarters and blocks major words they want land to resign and release anti-government protesters in detention. space supreme court

justice sentenced 5 men to 15 years in prison for raping a young woman at pump known as san fermin festival back in 2006 and on the ruling overturns a previous sentence from the lower courts which had convicted the men of a lesser charge of sexual assault. on sunday voters and her kidneys biggest city istanbul go to the polls in a controversial rerun of marches mejor election the electoral authority has cancelled the results after president rich of type party narrowly lost and claimed there were irregularities so voters are now set to vote once again the a k party has governed istanbul for decades but there's a distinct possibility now that this time it will lose its grip on the city didn't use you leon. port's. this is how the final

phase of election campaigning looks like in istanbul at the ferry terminal in the cuddy could district the major parties have set up their stalls and they are doing their best to drown each other out. this city has been in campaign mode for almost 6 months now he narrowly won the mayor's office in march a criminal it was the 1st opposition victory here in istanbul in 25 years but been early years of the ruling a.k.p. wasn't going to give up the city without a fight his party followed complains of irregularities and obtained a rerun of the election so now it's number 2 in the fight for turkey's most important city was a crimean mom who has been back on the campaign trail for weeks he still considers himself the legitimate mayor of istanbul and the decision to rerun the election politically motivated but she has accepted it and he's determined to win again by

a decisive margin. someone has suffered. of course the selection we run is a waste of time money and energy. and every day i am faced with another smear campaign. but this is something we have to deal with. and i believe that we will emerge unscathed and stronger from this experience. the date of the rerun is another challenge for him and his party the c.h.p. the vote takes place on june 23rd in the middle of the summer holidays that's when many people from istanbul are usually on the case but because the last election was decided by such a slim margin this time every vote counts. the opposition has even put out spoof warnings don't go to boardroom on june 10th. 3rd as heavy snow fall is expected and the beaches will be shut whether it's down to

the tongue in cheek at birds or not travel agent gem pull out almost as many as stumble lights have indeed changed their holiday plans but. we've had many elections during summer but i have never seen something like this. 500000 people from istanbul have changed or canceled their travel plans so they can be here and vote in the election. the ruling a k party is also vigorously campaigning on the streets their candidate for mayor was turkey's prime minister until last year he's playing on his political experience but president adlon who held one election after another in support of his men in the initial vote in spring is now noticeably holding back nevertheless the party's volunteers say they're sure of victory and that. we all go through mitchell's years obsession with the c.h.p. is definitely trying to create the impression that they've already won but we're

optimistic in the 1st round our votes was stolen and now we're going to get them back voters keep telling us that they want but not to use them for me and called willing people when. whoever wins is stumble wins turkey is a well known saying calling by president add one himself this time around many voters in this significant city would be happy of the winner of the election would also be recognized as such if you are looking hunger poured in there and we can go to yulia she is in a stone for yulia is there a clear front runner at this stage. opinion polls here in turkey are considered notoriously unreliable but most of them show the opposition candidate creamy mom ahead with up to 8 percentage points but i met president add one yesterday in a rare meeting with foreign journalists way he dismissed the days as manipulative

and made on order the real poll at one says would take place on sunday so despite the opposition and a crummy model being hopeful that they can win again there is a lot of uncertainty as to what will happen on election day now if you joined her on the campaign trail who is he what can you tell us about him. well until a few months ago he was little known even here in turkey he was the mayor of an outlying districts off he stumbled but the fact that he narrowly won the election in march in when was then stripped of his mandate at the request of the ruling party propelled him onto the national stage he has led an all embracing grassroots campaign he has been talking a lot about love and unity this might sound trivial but this has played well with

people here in this highly polarized society where political language is oftentimes very aggressive extremely mamma who represents a secular leftist party the c.h.p. but he's also a religious man so he appeals to conservative voters to traditional a.k.p. vote has as well i talked to some istanbul residents here in the past weeks and off collected some of their soundbites why they support mr imaam let's listen to what they had to tell me you know 41 the election is very important this time when more decisively and this could be the beginning of the end for the ruling party. of the hockey and what was done to him was very unfair he deserves a chance as mayor that's his right and. he's trying to be there for everybody in istanbul no matter who they are that's his way of doing politics and that's why i hope he'll be our mayor. and probably want to do to show love and every artist like a brother for us his sincere love with him his son will go to its beauty back and

everybody started smiling again. now this is of course it may your election yulia but its significance is so much bigger than that why. well that's because istanbul is just so hugely important it's turkey's cultural and financial center it makes up about a 3rd of the country's economy president and one was born here he started his very own political career here when he became mayor of istanbul in 1994 so for him and his party the city means wealth it means power and prestige losing it a 2nd time would be a huge a major blow to mr owens reputation as an unbeatable political force that's what analysts say so really this is not just an election about who's going to be mayor of istanbul but this is an election that is going to be followed by millions of people here in the country and abroad the question of course is now will this time around whatever the outcome is will it be accepted will it be final

well both candidates say they're going to accept the outcome of this election but of course a victory of the a.k.p. will probably be greeted by a lot of suspicion by the opposition already the decision for rerun has been met with a lot of criticism i don't think that mr you mamma will call on people to take to the streets in case he loses but such developments are often quite difficult to control so we might see protests but we also might see a week long battle post-election battle for this important city a city of 16000000 people because no side clearly will let this city go so easily are in one of the world's most fabled cities yulia han reporting thank you very much. next up to the world cup the usa have beaten sweden to neal to become the last team to advance in the knockout stages with

a perfect record of 3 wins out of 3 of the game was just minutes old when lindsey horn reacted quicker than the swedish defense to hold this news ball into the net and in the 2nd half the swedes failed to clear their lines once more divvying tobin the chance to make it 2 was meeting will nevertheless finish in 2nd place in group as enjoying the usa in qualifying for the round 60. now looking ahead germany are contending for the world cup title and they have a crop of talented youngsters contributive beyond their years we look at now at the squads that sensations i had of saturday's match against nigeria in the round of 16 . julio drin and plano obrador these 3 teenagers are making their mark on the germany world cup team 19 year old freiburg midfielder grin is having the biggest impact of the bunch scoring a match winner against china germany squad certainly appreciates the exceptional

skill of these young players providing plenty of support. like that so i thought about kind of really well integrated there's no problem with that so many players around us to take us under their wing and coach us to think i feel like i really fit in and don't feel at all like i'm treated like a kid. threw at the teen and 17 year old to open doors have also raised eyebrows in their 1st ever world cup they might be new on the national team but they're already experienced pros. disadvantage because they're already established bundesliga players they're still young but they have lots of talent it's great to see what german women's football we have to offer for years to come we're looking forward to that. if germany are to win their 1st world cup since 2007 they'll be hoping given the youth brigade can retain their top form heading into the round of 16 clash with nigeria. and the top stories there we're tracking for you the.
