says that this is consistent with patterns that are expected as a result of climate change well france has been taking extra precautions after thousands died in a similar heat wave more than a decade ago. a tale of 2 heat waves this is paris temperatures in the mid thirty's beating the heat and enjoying. and this is southern france where record temperatures of hit the mid forty's in many towns silence deserted tourist attractions closed schools. people staying off the streets it's all about taking things slowly and lying low. the mayor of the town of koppen toss struck an urgent tone. it is very important for the government to be aware of this difficult situation until know we felt isolated but no i realize that it's all over france you know the climate is going to change it's not going to get better so you have to start and to supporting it.

the heat is also disrupting local business. people who are there's a bit i should be selling ice cream because today they're not eating roast chickens no way to halt if we. cross the border in geneva switzerland the world meteorological association said the european heat wave fits a reason pattern. we're still only the end of june. it seems like it is set to experience its 5 bonus chiz on record so that's 2015 to 2019 inclusive. this year was still halfway through but you know it seems that it's going to be hit having to be one of the room just on on record. back in cop and toss the focus is on making it through the day there's just no way to beat this heat. and freelance journalist chris

bachman he is the lucky man against a stand outside it is he joins us now from toulouse in southern france not far from where that heat record was broken today i ask you this it seems like such a a but no question but i mean what does it feel like when temperatures are higher than they've ever been record. horrible is probably the quick response if i go to my car right now which i really would not want to take i could be in cup and toss it's 3 hours and there was $45.00 degrees today. it's a red alert the french weather service for a 1st time to put a red alert straight sheet in front 7 and it's about it tomorrow as well so they're going to stop at the we're going to something here is works it's 40 degrees tomorrow. right now is what 9 o'clock it must be around 30 degrees right now is not a good place to be cheers day wednesday i escaped to a river from 5 to 8 called the f. you want that was the place to be to sail started here in france on wednesday and

so a lot of people based you and shopping. may not think frank conditioning and air conditioning i mean are there places where you can escape the heat of being in southern france is not known for being a mecca for air conditioning. no i mean to be honest i don't have a neither but more and more so i mean transport systems and take into account they have to have a commission just like you know into at last year was the 2nd process somma in southern france since 1900 so we're getting used to how this weather is really changing and last year was not good so good for experiencing this it means that we're having to adapt to it and not for tire people who live in retirement homes that they've been forced to have air conditioning installed by the government schools are also having to change that there have been up to change to put in net conditioning they had to close today for example so that kids can go to school because they're just suffered too much exams for students have been put back

a few days as well because the conditions of the students we've been pulling so you know and those you see decisions now but also say some systems are being made now for the future because basically it's getting hotter all the time. and that's it's a situation facing in his interest is that your impression that the authorities in france they are doing their best to stay ahead of this heat curve if you will to make sure that they're not always reacting to the weather situation. yes let me give you if you go back a bit 2003 you may remember there was a really long way feared it wasn't just in france it's acted as well huge amounts and tens of thousands of people died and what happened was that because of that the government told french employees have to work a day for free that money that will be get will get invested into retirement homes to help that dab's to put conditioning in and all the conditions and so that people can actually out of people kids actually get through these horrible conditions so

they have actually been putting in a lot of these safeguards for the last decade or so already but there's no question that you cannot worry what late june it gets hot out here hits fort freeze ever yet but it could get hot for another 2 and a half months before the situation really comes down you know journalist chris bachmann today definitely earning your money sweating in the heat there into lose in france chris thank you where some of the other stories now that are making headlines around the world a forest fire in northeastern spain is still raging out of control despite efforts of hundreds of firefighters authorities suspect the blaze broke out after a heap of manure itself ignited yes self ignited in the intense heat fire officials say it's heavily his worst horse fire 20 years in the situation is now critical the u.s. man who killed a young woman protesting against a white nationalist rally in charlottesville virginia has been jailed for life for

hate crimes the self valid white supremacist james fields plowed his car into a crowd of counter protesters in 2017 killing heather higher and injuring dozens of others. the ethiopian government has arrested more than 250 people after what he described as an attempted coup detainees include the spokesman of a political party representing the un horror ethnic group 5 high ranking officials were killed in weekend attacks in the capital addis ababa and in northern i'm horace stinks. u.s. president donald trump has struck a conciliatory note at the start of the g 20 summit in the japanese city of osaka he heaped praise believe it or not on german chancellor angela merkel who he has criticized in the past the past 24 hours as a matter of fact he also held talks described as friendly with russian president vladimir putin but president still faces opposition on

a range of issues from iran to the u.s. chinese tricked. him into the great credit. to the relationship. what is that is this the same man who usually bashes germany relentlessly well don't read too much into apple it's still donald trump who stands accused of undermining the multilateral trade system and its institutions like the world trade organization and this is still i get a makeover fighting to save it. towards the end of the year the dispute settlement mechanisms of the w t o won't work anymore because they won't be enough judges appointed that's why many here said it's important to advance the world trade organization. on bling. of course we have a number of bilateral trade agreements and we hope that on the fringes of this

summit the talks between china and the us are successful of which we hear so often . but here in osaka appears that the multilateral lists are losing ground the g. 20 is starting to crumble at the edges. and that's because the us hasn't altered its position and is gaining more allies. one of them is joe you're both so narrow the newly elected brazilian president he's developing a close relationship with his u.s. counterparts saying he has been the great admirer of trump for some time. that spells trouble not only for global trade but also in the fight against climate change that go shaders are reporting that in those areas an agreement for the final communique seems further away than ever take climate change in the past only the

u.s. refused to honor the paris agreement that's supposed to keep global warming below 2 degrees now the other countries like brazil are thinking about joining in. if there's no more consensus on important topics than the g 20 just might become obsolete. at least the e.u. is willing to put up a fight for the paris agreement and global trade in a multilateral framework but european leaders are on the sidelines while china and the us are heading towards a full blown trade war the traits of the relations between china and us. difficult the. contributing to the slow don't if you can the economy the world's problems are increasing and its main players are increasingly at hearts but at least at the end of the 1st day it's about pictures of harmony and beauty g.

20 leaders died at osaka castle one of japan's most famous landmarks. those friendly pictures might soon be forgotten as early as saturday when the u.s. is charged and china's xi jinping meets or if the g 20 as a whole fails to reach an agreement on trade and climate change. or some sports news while the female footballers are shining at the women's world cup in france the men's africa cup of nations is being overshadowed by a meet to debate on wednesday the egyptian football association suspended midfielder ward amid allegations of sexual harassment but now just 2 days later it's done a dizzying $180.00 allowing word of back on the squad this about faces left many egyptians fuming like all the ecole restored now here at the big table ok so what's going on the list are from the beginning well this all basically started with

accusations of sexual harassment beginning to bubble on social media where several women posted screenshots and other testimonials off inappropriate comments that were made by the 25 year old midfielder and supposedly also a video where he is exposing himself to one of the women apparently here and after that the egypt egypt's football federation decided to ban him they also said that this is to maintain the discipline in the team and to focus and by the way this is not the 1st time that i'm in a water that is facing those types of allegations back in 2017 he was playing for a portuguese team and that contract only lasted. 3 days because he alledged he had sexually harassed 2 teammates wifes and that's also only on instagram a fashion model who claims that he did the same to ok so what has been his response to these new accusations well he initially denied them but then he must have had

a change of heart because he took to facebook to post a video where he apologizes but just have a quick look at this apology and about this one who has a man i'm sorry for my behavior i apologize to the players and the committee i hope anyone upset by my behavior will feel differently i am sorry i promise you things will improve i won't do any more things that upset people i'm sorry. so basically he's apologizing to the team he's also apologizing to the committee but there's no word about the women no direct word he says that he probably has committed mistakes and that he's going to be better but i imagine many women might be upset about him not addressing the women directly but for the egyptian football federation this apology and also the fact that many of his colleagues stood up for him in solidarity mom made them lift the ban and as one of his colleagues who took to twitter it's stauffer polo mohammad salaam and he tweeted the following he said

women must be treated with the utmost respect no means no those things are and must remain sacred i also believe that many who make mistakes can change for the better and shouldn't be sent straight to the guillotine which is the easiest way out so this man believes in respect but at the same time he believes in 2nd chances and in the way on the water that is going to get the 2nd chance with the lift of the ban is not going to be straight back on the pitch though on sunday they're going to play against uganda with the african cup of nations after that well he's going to be actively played just to play again and serve you know that's all she wrote so how is that going to be the is basically being given another chance or as much as there was support from colleagues and also some fans there was a huge outcry on social media we found several tweets one for example is from a woman he says as she says one of the being recalled to play for the national team is a testimony from the authorities that they have absolutely no respect for women and

that they have no intention in improving their situation or protecting them you disgraceful decision that further proves the double standards they have and there is also another tweet by another hughes a who says a total disgrace to have a player like underwater the among our official national football team is this how the president also asks you to show the egyptian ethics and morals to the world so as you can see there is a huge disappoint. obviously and there hasn't been any real consequences for the midfielder and maybe also this disappointment that there is at the moment no investigation that's exactly place a tickle if there is evidence there as you said that the woman claims there are video and pictures what happens do they have all right nicole as always thank you for your reporting you're watching the news live from berlin still to come remembering a milestone for the community d.w. visits the side of the 1969 stonewall raid in new york city that gave rise to the

gay rights movement will also meet one of the trailblazers that's coming up in just a few moments. the complement of a migrant rescue ship banned from docking in italy has dismissed threats by the country's interior minister to have her put in prison declaring that her duty is to the 40 people on board the ship the italian government which has closed its waters to rescue vessels says 5 other european countries have offered to accept the myra's of the vessel has been at sea since rescuing more than 2 weeks ago. destination almost within their grasp but the standoff between the italian government and the german n.g.o.s that runs the sea watch 3 means another day of uncertainty. for some the odyssey is taking its toll in the early hours of friday morning the young man was evacuated from the ship in severe pain is

a live in your old brother was allowed to go with him because he was a minor yesterday we entered the territorial waters mission. we declared a state of necessity. situation and the humanitarian condition has been worsening so much that i cannot guarantee the safety off the rescue anymore on. a prosecutor on the southern italian island of sicily said had been put under investigation under recently bolstered laws that seek to prevent rescue ships from disembarking migrants in italy and there was little sympathy from the italian government for the migrants plight. it is an outlook crew and commander that must be stopped arrested and expelled. i expect the european union to tell me where and when these 40 people will go and for me the question ends in 2 minutes. we're going to secure that despite italian hostility the country's

interior ministry announced that to deal with eminent with 5 countries germany france finland luxembourg and portugal having offered to share the hosting of the migrants see watch 3 in the ship run by the spanish truck tivo open arms and are the only 2 privately run vessels patrolling the mediterranean after the italian and maltese governments introduced stricter on to immigration policies last year these n.g.o.s could no be on a collision course with those governments which like it's at least refused to a low privately run rescue ships to dock but for the dozens of migrants still in barking and potentially deadly journeys across the mediterranean every day the ship's presence could prove the difference between life and death should a deal be struck the wait for a new life in europe will finally be over for those currently stranded on board. let's go back in time 50 years ago today in the early hours of the morning new york police raided a bar called the stone wall in in christopher street then as now it was a meeting place for greenwich village is

a huge community regulars they were used to the bar being raided and the police brutality that often followed but that night they fought back the stonewall uprising went down in history as the 1st time gay people have resisted arrest and started the riot in the name of equality in honor of the event people around the world celebrate christopher street day often with gay pride parades. these new york streets are witness to history and where gay pride began 50 years ago christopher street was the scene of riots known as the stonewall uprising which placed the teen movement on a global stage that. then the stonewall inn was a haven for people who didn't identify with the heterosexual norms of the day here they could hang out drink dance simply be themselves but not without risks being gay could result in prison or heavy fines violence and harassment were common in

the early hours of june 28 1969 police raided this spot the stonewalling now it wasn't the 1st time but this time around it was breaking point lesbian gay and transgender people were herded out and on today street the now iconic christopher street bottles and bricks were thrown on the rates walk to protest question asked if a day yes college a remembers them well she was 22 at the time and kept her gay identity secret fearful of the consequences like many lesbians of my generation i compartmentalize my life i have had to hide my identity in college and now i was hiding my identity at work because i could be fired for being a lesbian under the law homosexuality was illegal i already knew there really was nothing wrong with me but for me the question was how are we going to get society

to change seeing thousands join her in protesting for gay rights emboldened her as a founding member of the game liberation front she helped organize the 1st ever gay pride marches from there her role as an activist was assured using her new found voice to become an author an icon of the movement changing millions of lives we have made without the amazing progress we were going to fight for incremental change and hope that some. heterosexual society would allow us to work or allow us to go to school it seemed to me that we needed to force this chain. our message to the world don't leave a word group of people to create change you just need the will and the courage to do it. a message which is that inspired a younger generation to engage with a sickening casey hankies he's concerned that there's still no nation wide no

protection l g b t people from just criminal action you have like marriage equality and like that's probably not going to go anywhere but there's so much more rights to be had for people you know like i do i took a cross-country trip with my partner 2 years ago and we were discussing how like as we drove state to state our rights drastically changed our protections drastically changed and and that's to you know gay men not to mention trans people that are not going to be validated for that i see so much more progress that has been made over time a sentiment echoed by all those who come to the memorial park office at this time mourning right to me means acknowledging my history i'm a bisexual person a pansexual person and it acknowledges my history and what we've fought for to be recognized to be able to get married to the people we love to be able to be in public with the people we love and just to be able to be ourselves and come out

like and there's still a lot of progress to be made there while the many tourists disc a rights memorial represents a moment in history of the l.g. t.v. from the stone ruling is a reminder of the struggle that continues today. and let's pick up that discussion now i'm joined by activism our jones joining me from the beautiful island of puerto rico good to have you on the program it's been 50 years since those gays and lesbians in the stonewall inn said we've had enough 50 years there was no it's not a long time when you think about it told me a little bit about what their fight changed for the. community. i think the fi opened up a tremendous amount of possibilities and opened up the discussion about. people and more than anything it was a moment that allowed. people to organize and

a way that hadn't been possible before and it's that organization and that coming together over time which is what allows for the changes that we've had which are not significant enough they've been tremendous but they're falling forced far short and specifically in the current political environment here are in that but i think it was more at it was more important for the community because it showed other people within the community that we could stand up science back organize and when and i think that that's important that is important and when you look at what the world looks like nails to clean the u.s. right now it's pride season you've got politicians who are openly gay you've got sports men who are openly gay and last night of the debate so we know we soul you've even got a gay man running for president at the same time you're still campaigning though to

have equal rights. yes because we don't have equal rights so just because one has visibility and that visibility is accepted doesn't mean that you know one has rights and there are several big issues i mean why issue is for transfer people in the united states united states has the highest number of murders of trans people than any other country on the planet except for brazil and mexico. and trans people continue to be the most marginalized people in the united states even though we particularly transparent of color black and brown people on the night of stonewall are the people started the rebellion actually who organized the 1st parade in $1070.00 that will be commemorated next year and overall the position of l.g.b. t.q. people emphasizing people who are lesbian gay and gay can be openly discriminated against in states that half the country there are no legal protections for gay people and over half the country in fact more than half the country and so there

are so many ways in which there's been an achievement and visibility there's been an achievement and acceptance is not going on and she writes unfortunately we're out of time but we appreciate you taking the time. with. what is very important. thank you thank you. if you're watching t w news i'll be back at the top of the hour with more world news followed by the day i hope to see you that.
