it the beginning of the end for the man who has dominated turkish politics for so long and ukraine hosts its biggest ever gay pride parades we will speak with a group that joins the marchers for the 1st time in the history of the event. i'm sorry kelly welcome to the program 2 german air force jets have crashed in the north of the country the euro fighter combat aircraft collided and crashed near the log military airbase in western pomerania a video recorded in the mecklenburg lake plateau region and posted on social media shows 2 plumes of smoke rising about 10 kilometers apart. i'm going to go now to our correspondent thomas sparrow who has the very latest on this so thomas

bring us up to date what has happened. well the local interior ministry in mecklenburg for but that's in the northern eastern part of the country actually confirm the collision apparently 3 jets were on a mission 2 of them collided on the 3rd one the pilot on the jet actually reported the incident and also said that he had seen 2 parachutes and i will just mention that this is a region that is possibly populated in the northern eastern part of the country there is an air force unit stationed there and probably these jets were part of a mission based from that unit the questions are now what has not yet been confirmed is 1st and foremost what actually happened to the 2 pilots or something or was it being investigated at all there are reports that one of them has been found on top of a tree then a 2nd where there were also other victims may be on the ground on the 3rd question an important question moving on what were the reasons for these 2 jets to have

collided now thomas germany's military has been sharply criticized in recent years for chronic shortage is a quick moment personnel. could that have had any bearing on this incident perhaps it is still too early to say sorry about that well actually depend on this 3rd element i have just mentioned the reason why these 2 jets collided that is obviously still being investigated on but once we know the reasons for that it will be easier to say how much and to what extent this incident could affect germany's military capability and germany's military readiness which as you say has been criticized in the past thomas sparrow on the story thank you. turkey's president of typer juan has suffered a serious defeat after losing control of estoppel any rerun of the oral election their opposition candidate akram in mama lou won the vote by a landslide his victory ends a quarter of

a century of rule in the city by islamic conservatives observers say that it is a triumph for democracy and could usher in change across the country. the undisputed victor of istanbul's maryla lection is this man. he extended his majority in sunday's controversial rerun of a ballot he already narrowly won in march the new man called it a vote for change would be a softer day this is not a victory this is a new beginning. like to say from here that as of tomorrow i will treat 16000000 people equally as i'm a. germ a circuit. president wretch of type out of one's a k party and call the 1st result a regular on the electoral board agreed this time around the ones man banal a year conceded defeat. according to the results

as of now my competitor a crumb in woman who is leading the race i congratulate him and wish him good luck . for her. tens of thousands turned out to celebrate. to be done with you i'm so excited about it the right person has won justice has won love and unity won the people in istanbul have won everything it's great now we will work for a bright future together shoulder to shoulder but really i am so happy. that i'm actually going to get the moment. it's enough the people have spoken and their will has become clear justice has been served but at the end the world. but the party faithful were shocked and disappointed. has a mind you know it has and i think people do not see the good things tie of ed or what has done we are all sad our relatives came here from other cities just for

today now we are so sad disappointed in. the end of the i cape a few serves as ma'am. the result is a further blow to president out of one who's been accused of tearing them and is struggling to revive a flagging economy he also lost municipal elections in ankara and izmir in march but istanbul is the jewel in his crown out of one's hometown and where his career started as man now the city and its new leader are going their own way. and let's go live now to istanbul where leon is standing by yulia fair to say that this is a turning point now in the party's dominance of turkish politics. well this has definitely boosted the opposition's self-esteem it's it is the 1st opposition victory here in istanbul in 25 years and people have celebrated all night until the early morning hours they have honked the warns of their cars they

were dancing in chanting they were always repeating the same ominous political slogan which is in turkish hair shade is that all logic everything will be great in mama who has led an old embracing grassroots campaign here in the past weeks he met many people in person was taking thousands of selfies with citizens and he has been sending out a very positive message to people here in. he said you know i want to city where unity counts where love and equality counts instead of polarization and that was a message that was going down well with a lot of citizens here in this very polarized society i spoke to young people you know young people here in istanbul they have only known president admins ruling a.k.p. in power since the party is in power for more than 17 years and this political politically conservative movement has run this city for more than 25 years so these

young people say we want change we sometimes don't feel we can express ourselves freely we want better education better jobs and they now have these hopes that mistake the opposition's may and now can change that so there is at the same time a huge trust bonds ability now for this new mayor here in turkey's largest city and the big question is what he will do next earlier we spoke with the deputy chair on foreign affairs from him on the loose party and we asked him whether the new mayor would now have his sights set on challenging era to want for the presidency i'd like to listen in to what he said and get your reaction. so the moment has become a very important political figure ready ready. if. success is sustainable if you shows. sustainable success in istanbul then there's certainly going to be.

you know your how likely does it look that he'll challenge everyone on the national level. well that's of course what many people are now talking about but you have to know president add one is still the most powerful leader in modern turkish history and he will stay in power for the forseeable foreseeable future that's at least what he and his party will be emphasizing i spoke to a member of his party earlier was trying to downplay the defeat saying well this is democracy now the opposition won it shows that democracy in turkey is still functioning but critics all of the president and his party say this is. the biggest defeat personal defeat for the president in his whole political career since istanbul is just so hugely important for him this is where his career started when he became mayor of the city in 1994 this is an economic hub the financial

center of turkey so it's really a major blow to him and its power and it sends the signal sends a message to the rest of turkey as well the a.k.p. and president add on a low no longer invincible. yulia what does he need to deliver now to meet the voters' expectations. well you know he has a companion with a lifting hundreds of thousands of people here in istanbul out of poverty he has compared with offering better as a social services education and job so he has promised a lot of course and you have to know turkey is still in the midst of an economic crisis is the currency is still has lost a lot of value against the euro and the dollar everything has got much more expensive food prices have increased so laws so much so the big question is of course what can the mayor of istanbul do about this certainly his supporters have

hopes that he can change something about the economic situation but now it's really time for him to start serving as mayor and then also show what he can do what he can achieve you leon and i thank you. let's get a quick check now some other stories making news around the world the leader of georgia's ruling party has announced a sweeping political reforms following mass protest. so that the country would switch from a mixed electoral system to a proportional one from 2020 is the fills a key demand of anti-government demonstrators who were protesting the party's ties to russia. rescuers in cambodia have pulled 2 people alive from the ruins of a building that collapsed on saturday and officials said that they were in a serious condition at least 20 people died in the accident which happened on a construction site also being used to house the workers and at least 14 people were killed and dozens more injured when a tent collapsed during

nations children's agency unicef and half of 17 year old enter adulthood with little or no education access to schooling as part of the problem in areas where there's no public transport and schools are rare a new initiative is addressing just that problem. biking to beat the school bell. not long ago these kids had to walk to classes for some a journey of up to 2 hours now with pedal power it takes only minutes. an initiative called less walk to the recycled bikes. students who live more than 2 kilometers from school are 1st in line to get a life changing ride. and when set up less work to give kids easier access to education. these bikes can help students get to school in just 15 minutes rather than one hour by

food they won't miss class and they'll be better focused on their education so hopefully won't drop out. of. the tech investor founded less work after a string of bike sharing companies pulled out of singapore malaysia they live thousands of parcels behind so 10 started shipping them to myanmar and now local kids like this are reaping the benefits. i'll have more time to study and play with friends. and family i won't need to get up so early and walk for 2 hours . i don't. see how now i have a bike i won't be so tired from all the walking. if all goes to plan less work hopes to hand out $100000.00 bikes over the next 5 years giving a rolling start to these kids' future. earlier this month

a photo taken in greenland went viral it showed the scale of the arctic's melting ice sheets and brought attention to the region's rising temperatures the photographer behind the photo says that he hopes that it will trigger more commitment to protecting the environment. now back home in denmark stephan elson is astounded that his photo made such an impact around the world. the image of huskies in ankle deep water was taken on june 13th at the inglefield fjord in northwest greenland normally at that time of year the temperature is a few degrees celsius below 0 but on that day it was much warmer than usual. 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. olson says the picture is just

a snapshot in time so alone 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 global warming others accused olson of faking the photo the climate research in himself is happy that his photo has read directed public attention back to the situation in the arctic for years scientists have been warning that the region is heating up this week a new study presented a stark forecast if global greenhouse gas emissions are not reduced greenland's ice could melt dramatically by 2200 leaving low lying coastal cities and islands on the water. 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 cause sea levels to rise by half a metre to a metre. this year greenland summer thaw started very early

and the ice sheet is melting unusually fast stephan olson 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 and to quickly forgotten on of little value it's a memorable image like this could encourage more action on climate change. to the woman's world cup now where hosts france have advanced to the quarterfinals after they beat brazil by 2 goals to one france went in front of the 52nd minute when due to our name broke down the wing to set up valery kovach. it was one all shortly afterwards though. supplying the finish to bring brazil level the

tie going into action time and in the 160 minute france's captain on really latched onto the end of a free kick to send her side into the quarter 5. favorite nick 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 outness fear 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 male 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 matches 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 cameroon players was quite incredible they were inconsolable and. were slow to start playing again and 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're 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 view 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 cameron 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 wrong because it's the image of women's football that is going out worldwide about the team that comes this side in the style you accuse of 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 about 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 a 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 i would say it was a double standard ok so dave what do we have to look forward to in tonight's 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 2 really great matches tonight you know sports thank you. they were once considered old fashioned victorian a symbol of the stodgy past then they became hip and now the beard is going mainstream and that's increased the popularity of be a lot of work of us good idea of 3 combs 4 different brushes with the hair dryer and then we have to put in oil little bottles in the end we check the result and if are not happy we start again so here we are 30 minutes for the. candidates from all over fronts came to show off their best facial fluff. at the

country's 3rd national beard championship in paris police on the 2. thread 100 people came forward on we've narrowed it to 86 champions among these 86 champions will award a huge prize is going to leave. many believe the beard hype is here to stay the course to the those who did so paris can look forward to many more grooming competitions with happy hairy men are. a quick reminder of the top stories we're following for you here on d w 2 euro fighters have collided midair in northern germany the pilots ejected one survive to blast the other is reported to have died both jets belonged to the german air force. opposition supporters have been celebrating in istanbul after their candidate from him although for one control of turkey's biggest city his victory is a heavy blow for the country's president recha tie affair to one. coming up next
