1:08 pm
3 largest cities they won in march they won the capital ankara and izmir in the country's west and now they also control istanbul so many analysts now say this is the biggest blow the biggest defeat for president add on in his political career and this will not stay without consequences for him and his party as well there are already reports about disagreements within the ruling a.k.p. with new actors emerging so so right now it's within the realistic terms to say that yes a crimean up the mama once you get started one see really shows what he can do being a male is stumble might emerge as a potential challenger to president add on on a national level as well yulia han it istanbul thank you. u.s. secretary of state my pompei o has started a tour of other countries to try and form an international coalition against iran his 1st stop is saudi arabia where he was welcomed by the foreign minister pale

1:14 pm
the chance really to ask them before i'm through that privacy is very scary strictly controlled by authorities here is a lot of people very interested to know how they're getting on how they're the lives of change how the boys we're not just there to talk to us unfortunately they will they took part in a ceremony here that was a buddhist ceremony that essentially wish them a long and happy life the boys also pay tribute to the thai diver who is commemorated in the statue just behind me who very lost his life during this rescue the boys in the press conference said that they considered him a father they were very grateful they said that his widow as well has been like a mother to them so it was very moving hearing them speak and and remember this anniversary one year on now this is part of a series of events that have being held to commemorate this rescue operation yesterday there were thousands of people gathered here at the cape they were taking part in a fun run and a bike ride that was designed as
1:15 pm
a charity event was designed to raise money for tourism here in the area and actually sarah a number of the boys took part in that run say people are really excited to see them out on the streets and really in quite a jolly happy me how are they coping charlotte one year on. well of course that was the main thing that was being asked of them in that press conference some of them seemed to be trying to shy away from the limelight a bit some of them were quite quiet mean of course this was a huge trauma that these boys lived through as we had a short time ago they were without lights when they were in this tunnel for almost 3 weeks without food as was extremely traumatic for them so some of them were quite nervous about talking to me they have been absolutely catapulted into the spotlight since this rescue others though a little bit more vocal one boy in fact sort of joked about the fact that his parents had become even more protective of him since he came out of the cave we
1:16 pm
also had for him to have the boys who said that they want to become a navy seal themselves and a mark of thank you and respects to the to the navy seal like during their rescue and their rescue what sort of impact has it had on the region. well you have to bear in mind sara is that people here really do you view this as a huge success story for thailand a lot of the dive as well as the rescuers that we spoke to about this had said that for days weeks even they won sure that these boys were going to make it out alive they said that the they were preparing a party for a recovery rather than a rescue mission so a lot of people here are very keenly aware that this anniversary could be could have been a very different event the site could be remembered for something very very different a real tragedy instead it's become something of a of a tourist site we spoke to some of the managers of the national park here they said
1:17 pm
in high season up to 2000 people were coming every day to get a firsthand taste of the ordeal to check out the case and their losses by the fact that the cave is still closed president present apparently they're not even sure whether or not he's going to open but there are some plans in place to to try and make it right to visitors center for people to have a look around and learning center. have to see whether or not that comes to fruition. you're watching news still to come on the program the viral photo from greenland that is making a splash around the world we meet the photographer behind the image showing the reality of global warming in the arctic and tears protests and anger on the pitch at the world cup cameroon's footballers crash out against england after a series of controversial calls by the video assistant referee. but 1st year and a w.
1:18 pm
some a 1000 people turned out for the largest l g b t q a bend in ukraine's history there was heavy police protection at the pride parade to prevent violence at the event had seen in the past. it was rainbows as far as the eye can see so far so familiar but this is no ordinary pride parade security is tight and police often seemingly outnumber the participants here of pride has come a long way since it began with a few dozen participants back in 2013 and it's attracting new and diverse groups of people who are good and glory to ukraine glory to the heroes the crowd that is the official greeter of ukraine's armed forces and not something you expected to hear at kiev's pride parade until now that is their job is school them i'm a soldier and i was the you know i was a volunteer in the dumb ass battalion i thought from 2014 to 2016 we're fighting on
1:19 pm
the front for the freedom of ukraine. and the freedom of every citizen in a free country life should you knew. his isn't a unique story but hundreds of thousands of ukrainians from all of life have volunteered to fight since the conflict began 24 teams making the cranes armed forces more diverse than ever before but most choose to keep quiet about their sexuality until they leave the ranks. yard huge has been an active service since russia attacked us. if we don't stand up for ourselves there will be no freedom no equality and not just for people freedom has to be defended shot we will defend our children from paedophiles the poster read this but what do you do with a poster go do something useful go fight. here pride is still more demonstration and party place the charts and posters and not for celebration.
1:20 pm
to brazil now where huge crowds turned out for sao paulo's annual gay pride parade on sunday one of the world's largest organizers said that hundreds of thousands of people took part this year a sign of opposition to the conservative social policies of brazil's new president and auto he took office in january once described himself as a proud homophobe. well now to the woman's world cup where hosts france have advanced to the quarter finals after they beat brazil by 2 goals to one france went in front on the 52nd minute went to the army the rope down the wing to set up the eagle that was a one all shortly after though to use supplying the finish to bring brazil level the tie went into extra time and in the 106 minutes france's captain on we all ashton on to the end of the 3 k.
1:21 pm
sent her side into the quarter final. fave granik has the breakdown for us now from 4th so what do you make of that victory it was a fantastic game a really intense crackling atmosphere and i think france to the great job to come out on top although they looked good in possession and were dominant throughout the game they have had a bit of trouble finishing off their chances in creating so although they managed to get past brazil i think that's something looking forward they might have to tweak a bit going into the quarter finals elsewhere we saw england beat cameroon 3 nail this was really controversial it was it was truly a bizarre game and that was mainly because the important role that the video assistant referee played in the match was kind of dominated the match and the headlines here were seeing that england 2nd goal was put under review by the video assistant and once it was allowed that the response from the camera. players it was quite incredible they were inconsolable and were slow to start playing again and
1:22 pm
the same thing happened in the 2nd half when it seemed like they had scored a goal of their own and that was ruled off so we are seeing really high tension and emotions all because of v.a.r. and some of the calls behind it. and i think honestly throughout this tournament v.a.r. has really been a disaster even if most of the calls have been correct it's really destroyed the rhythm of these matches and i think it's not being used as it should be looking at every minor decision and really dragging things out so it's the players from cameroon certainly weren't happy with it either you know their reactions were quite strong we saw some of them there how have people been taking that it around the world yeah just the raw emotion of the players and often their refusal to immediately return to play after these decisions has kind of sparked a storm and even england's coach phil neville had a fair amount to say about it after the match. the behavior was wrong behavior is
1:23 pm
wrong because it's the image of women's football that is going out worldwide about the team comes this side in the style you refused to play and i'm proud of my players but the discipline and the belief that they had in going out there just playing the game of football. so those are pretty strong words from the ball there and he even went further to say that it was shaming football which i honestly think is a bit over the top so to say that this reflects on the image of women's football and to say it's a massive shame for the game for me it's a little bit too much and you frequently see this when it comes to the role of emotions in women's soccer or african teams particularly kind of broad statements are often made where they reflect on all of women's soccer all of these teams whereas if the men's team or a man's player does something a little unsportsmanlike or over the top you're less likely to hear those broad generalizations so i would say it was a double standard ok so dave what do we have to look forward to in tonight's
1:24 pm
matches so the u.s. is playing against spain which is going to be a really exciting match the winner of whom will play against france in the quarter finals and then we have sweden in canada so to really great matches tonight a frantic you know sports thank you. an hour earlier this month a photo in greenland went viral and showed the scale of the arctic melting ice sheets and brought attention to the region's rising temperatures the photographer behind the photo said that he hopes that it will trigger more commitment to protect the environment. you. know back home in denmark stephan olsen is astounded that his photo made such an impact around the world the image of huskies an ankle deep water was taken on june 13th at the inglefield shored in northwest greenland normally at that time of year the temperature was a few degrees below 0 but on that day it was much warmer than usual.
1:25 pm
it was 17 degrees celsius almost the highest temperature ever recorded very unusual because there were still snow on the sea the lake turned into melting water. the picture is just a snapshot in time so it can't be taken as concrete evidence of climate change when he published it on twitter it provoked a lively debate for many it symbolizes the dangers of. others accused of faking the photo the climate researcher himself is just happy that finally attention has turned to the situation in the arctic. scientists have been warning that the region is heating up. a new study presented a stark forecast if. the missions are not reduced. dramatically 522100. cities an underwater.
1:26 pm
it's difficult to forecast 1000 years into the future but we can see the near future very clearly in the next 100 years the melting ice will cost sea levels to rise by half a metre to a metre. greenland started very early and the ice sheet is melting on the usually fast. hopes his picture will stay in people's minds. maybe the picture hit a nerve it addresses something that other photos don't it shows a very warm day in the arctic. he says photos that are quickly forgotten. but a memorable image could spur people into action to protect the environment for future generations. a quick reminder now the top stories we're following for you here at
