doing this and they do laughter manno without consultation with the people of push me on that and that also brings into question the legality of many legal experts on raising questions because an action like this has to be taken in consultation with the local administration of some form of government however the government the local government has been suspended for the last year the state is on the precedence to taking a cent from a look at governor who is basically appointed by the central government seems to be moot because it's basically the government asking the government for permission but of course the most critical thing to note here is that one of the most a strong voice of the opposition could have potentially been the people of kashmir but they are unfortunately have been entirely silenced as a communication blackout there's no more biting internet access and the fact that there's so much military deployment in the region as well means that we cannot get hearing how the people have reacted to this change which affects them the most.

10:14 am
a setback are or are they a calculated move by pyongyang is part of the negotiating process with the u.s. . well frankly they're a bit of both that are it's all a fight a setback it really depends on your perspective from the. intelligence community or are those nations that are worried about north korea continues to develop its weapons programs this is a setback because based something intelligence we've heard that north korea is testing more short range ballistic missiles it's even claimed that it's developing new rocket systems guided rocket systems so despite the efforts of of south korea the united states in this peace process it's been on the folding for a long time now north korea still obviously continues to develop its weapons program south korea has expressed concern about this and has for a long time now continue to advance its weaponry on this side of the border but i
10:15 am
mentioned perspective we've heard time and time again from the trumpet ministration throughout these latest tests and in the end the weeks leading up to this. that this is not a big deal these are small tests or is korea has tested short range ballistic missiles before and ultimately won't impact to go she ations but the bottom line is . it seems that they're continuing to expand on that technology and they say that these missiles can carry nuclear warheads so it's a threat to the region it's a threat to a lot of people around this part of the world ok well continuing the comments you just mentioned from the oval office do you think we're going to see the talks with john yang then nonetheless move forward. well you mentioned pressure calculated up position from north korea and there's no question the timing is significant for this latest test these missiles that flew over the the northern part of the peninsula because south korea the united states are holding joint
10:16 am
military exercises right now in the weeks up to the launch of that exercise just yesterday monday north korea had warned against it saying that south korea should not be following through south korea should not be buying perhaps military the united states for the press for obvious then they launch the missiles this morning and then shortly after their state media released a statement expressing condemnation of that military exercise in saying that north korea is taking the actions it is because south korean the u.s. are breaking their promises as far is. holding these drills in advancing their own militaries in the context of of that it's it would seem that it would be hard to jump start start talks at this point north korea testing its weapons. but you mentioned once again calculated position is this pressure to entice the united states to come back to the goshen table on north korea doesn't seem to think

a night on the streets. we have some sports now in german football has been hit with 2 scandals number one the chairman of bonus league acaba shall go has come under fire for comments seen as racist and a lower division team from the city of chemists fired his captain for associating with far right figures max merrill from did have you a sports has more on this day to you let's start with what happened there yes shall go one of the biggest clubs in europe 150000 active paying members there in a bit of a scandal due to that chairman clemens turn is he was a guest speaker at a conference he made some inflammatory remarks in his conference speech about africans he's been the chairman there since 2001 he's a billionaire businessman here in germany founded one of the biggest european meat processing companies and the since apologized for his comments but could yet be removed from his position so let's get a little bit more detail on the story. with less than 2 weeks to go until the start
10:21 am
of the bundesliga season shaka have a crisis to do. well with that's a discussion about climate change policy last week club chairman clements tourney's suggested tax money should be spent on building power plants in africa adding quote many africans would stop chopping down trees and stop producing kids when it gets dark those comments have received much public criticism including from the shock a fan initiative a supporters' group that has worked with the club to fight against racism in football for over 25 years and then score settled in order to the large number of people who have contacted a share of views namely that the comments are massively racist and the apology off it is insufficient and in fact not an apology at all suzanna franco says attorneys must be removed from his position at the club. i
10:22 am
consider it a clearance to an intolerable for clemens tourney's to continue in his role at the club which is a high profile and important role here. fans in guessing cation are divided on the issue you have 10 years future at the club. clinton so you shouldn't be any consequences they should just move on it was a slip of the tongue it wasn't meant in a bad way to speak of mind in this quote. one is a sense out of the question and intolerable in my view 10 years has to be removed and if shaka doesn't do that then i would probably quit as a member because that's not ok. the decision now rests with shock is on a very board. max was likely to happen at that board meeting today yet that meeting i'd say in the pressure is very much on former players with african roots from the club of come out the german justice minister christina lamb pledge has come out and
10:23 am
called for the german football association to intervene and this is not a normal footballing board this is sort of an ethics commission this on a very board 5 members who are university professors judge 2 judges and the vicar the sanctions can range from a verbal warning warning to suspension to removal from office i suspect it will be a removal from office ok what about chemists it have of course has been in the headlines in the past what happened there. 3rd division club if they have positive ways with their captain daniel over his links to new nazi groups and on saturday he was injured so didn't play nice with fans which is quite a regular thing to do for a club captains but he was watching the match from the stands together with leaders from the far right hooligan scene and he's a repeat offender this isn't the 1st time back in march we can see here he scored a goal and celebrated with a support your local who's shirt which is produced by a group called. hooligans nazis racists at the time he apologized and said he was
10:24 am
just trying to support an ill member of the group but the club have since come out and said that was a fast we were wrong to trust him and as you said i mean this city and this club embroiled with nazi only or nazi links last august the city's also. evil days of violence. with far right connections briefly if you could are these stories symptomatic of a larger problem i think no i think it's a localized issue predominantly in the former east of germany but also more tied to the lower league clubs it's not so prevalent in the upper echelons of german football where most of the urgent political activism in fine groups is actually comes more from the left if anything but eastern germany and lower leagues have a problem and clubs like candidates really interact because in the past they've sent mixed signals next not all thanks so much for that right now all aboard for the story about a tram driver from frankfurt germany who's playing to run for mayor in that city his name is peter verities 57 of physical fitness fan and a local celebrity he recently won a vacation on a t.v.
