and of course the it is not the money i want to side of i guess that it's an apology saying it out side. elsewhere and sold thousands to the issue to the door of the japanese embassy. to compensate investigate punish they chant the anger here reflects renewed hostilities between the 2 nations. japan recently imposed trade barriers in a dispute over compensation awarded to forced wartime laborers only hardening their resolve. the sort of thing we've been asking japan for an apology for a long time but they're still not owning up to the past and instead of apologizing to the victims of forced labor they're instead retaliating in gauging in economic retaliation which makes me really angry. with distrust and animosity running

so deep laying to rest the legacy of colonize ation me take many years yet. for sports not a long wait is finally over for fans of german football here and around the world now in this stadium later today the new going to sleep a season kicks off of champions buying in extra their campaign against have to berlin and byron are aiming for a record 8 league titles in a row this season but they will face some stiff competition they only narrowly beat dortmund to the title last time around and dortmund have brought in some new players including those who left byron to return to his former club. and we have tom the noise from the sports with us to give us the lowdown on the new bunch of sleep a season hi tom thanks for joining us by and they were champions last season but did they showed off weakness to give other teams some hope this time around i think

so certainly yeah i mean obviously the headline is of course that they were champions last season for the 7th time in a row they finished the season very strongly a very sad strong 2nd half of the campaign just before christmas they were of course 9 points behind bruce you don't win in the table but they recovered back up came back won the me and of course won the german car. i definitely think of the teams can take it with the. this year they might get a shot that's hard some of the weaknesses the bind showed in the last campaign and due to the lack of a real star signing. of course have in their hands and if they can correct themselves this season i think they will be very confident like i said. by munich have failed to make a real big name star signings so i think that's a bit of a worry for them and i think also quite worrying recently the very start of all this was of course the super cup against storm and their performance was very much less than satisfactory so with the season about to get on the whites and i think

it's fair to say that by munich are quite far away from where they'd really like to be. lions 1st test this season could have brought their 1st trophy instead the super cup against dortmund in early august only frustration the champions have failed to significantly strengthened their squad and they were exposed by their closest rivals without direct replacements for departed robin and frank rebury a title defense will be anything but easy. the fact is that we definitely have to make another signing i said last year we had to serious injuries we've contract to lease so and. they cost as a lot of potential we have to be prepared for that if we want to achieve our goals we need a good squad not just enough players but real top quality players. has received in the past few days attacking midfielder even paris each has joined on

loan from him to milan. but even he accepts that the squad as it is might need further reinforcements. at least 17. if you want to be all you want to talk about through your solo during the season there is always some interest that there is always we need everybody parasites can't even play in buy and soap and i don't have to buy lean he suspended after picking up too many yellow cards in the italian top flight last season yet another headache for the champions last term club president promised a pre-season of spectacular transfers it hasn't materialized and by and will now have to make do with what they've got against and maybe beyond. the right time some buying will have to make do with what they have no big signings but they're usually pretty hot at the start of the day yet that much is definitely true the last on that they failed to win in their opening game of the campaign was 2011 so quite

a while ago however that was also the last time they failed to win the title so you know if you're interested in portents and omens tonight a close eye on the result against belin had to have a brand new coach in and jovovich and they have actually made some pretty big signings over the summer including club record transfer dodi luka back you know for showbiz tonight no one level he's making possibly the toughest start to a career as a coach that it's possible to have an away game against by munich on the other hand for him of course that relieves him of a little bit of pressure because like he said in the press conference this week even if heads are really at their best there's still no guarantee that they're going to get a result however he did say that he's very pleased with how pre-season training as gone and he's confident and very excited he says going into this opening tash. i'm excited rather than a nervous because i think we've had

a wonderful time recently in pre-season. we've worked hard with well we are well prepared for the game so we'll see what happens thanks again. somebody else called their office it'll be a tall task there for howard what do you think about the season on a whole what do you think will pan out this season well i mean like we've been saying for by munich the top 2 defense is going to be very difficult unless they get a new signing until the end of the transfer window on the 2nd of september of course dortmund are also going to be very close you know breathing down their necks this season once again and for bruce you don't mind another good kind of sign something that we definitely could be giving them confidence as they head into the campaign is that they have made some big new signings including up front. and of course much who was returning from by munich to strengthen their defense now i think after they came so close last season it's really quite critical for you. this involve

a part of me that he really takes his chance this season i think there is a sense that they really can do it. but you know we'll have to wait and see is a long season for games and it starts tonight exciting stuff all right i'm going to . sports for us on the new bundesliga season thank you very much. daredevil frenchman known for a climbing skyscrapers around the world has scaled a $62.00 story building in hong kong and a plea for peace alan robertson dubbed spider-man scaled chung kong center using his bare hands and without a harness veiled a banner featuring both the chinese and hong kong slags now the stunt was part of an appeal for an end to the current unrest in hong kong. or mine are not our top stories here on d w a us palestinian lawmaker who was barred from israel can now enter on humanitarian grounds or she will be allowed to

put on a very warm welcome indeed to quadriga coming to you from the heart of berlin and this week the focus is on the crisis in kashmir a territory claimed by both india and pakistan making it one of the world's most volatile flashpoints and in the latest development india's government has stripped kashmir of its long held autonomy saying it's time to bring peace and prosperity to the region but the muslim majority is furious claiming that india's ruling hindu nationalist b j p party instead aims to change the demographics of kashmir tensions are running high and there has been talk of war. so question on quadriga this week is kashmir crisis new aero all power grab and to discuss not question i'm joined here in the studio by christiane the wagner a senior fellow with the german institute for international and security affairs specializing on south asia these thanks

a lasting solution to the kashmir question will only be possible if there are no border changes in the region also with this is george wallace shawn said she lani olds p.t.w. her to desk he believes that once the curfew is lifted the situation in kashmir can . boil over and lead to violence and a very warm welcome to 2 another 3 w.'s regional experts from our hindi desk additional argues that the process of economic development in the region cannot take place without including the local people and say you know feeling very in secure about their future. thank you all free for being here today. if you issue a fundamental question why is kashmir so important to india. this is a report of a famous saying. it's you know it's

it's here and that was written in the 13th century even the 21st century now but the emotion still remains the same so me more than just a day to day is an emotion for both india and pakistan and since 947 we haven't left it it's an emotion in such a manner that if i talk about my generation we've grown up watching a movie essential to the indian identity it's essential to what india and pakistan so i would say for my generation we've grown up watching movies very celebrated for and we've taken a lot of pride in the fact that we've beaten pakistan and. for us is the equivalent of a cricket match that you have to even if you don't care that people are dying there and now it's the same sentiment that you see after the article $370.00 was revoked if you look at the language in social media if you look at the trends on twitter it's sad in a way that people of kashmir when they were asked what they wanted but the rest of

the country is really celebrating because it's so much important to their identity that finally we have it. turning the question around why is kashmir so important to pakistan. well for pakistan it has been an undeserved issue from the time of partition when both pakistan and india were created in 1947 august on has shaped its foreign policy around the issue of kashmir it has had you know at least 2 direct wars with india and another military conflict in 1909 and cargo. so it has been central to pakistan's national security paradigm it has prevented both india and pakistan to become friends to have normal relations and for pakistanis it is an emotive issue because they genuinely believe that kashmiris are being oppressed by the indian army. for

a long time pakistan was supporting. by arming them. but there's also this genuine believe that midis are muslims they identify with us given a choice davil joint pakistan and pakistan is believed that that choice was always denied by india so i went to a christian wagner has to say about all this i was talking to and it is an indian commentator here in berlin this week and she told me that things will never be the same after recent events the events of the last 2 weeks or so is that an estimation you share of the gravity of the crisis of the moment yes i would say things have changed fundamentally also i would argue that i see the changes more in the context of the indian or of injust democratic system because the decision of the modi government to vote a special status has far reaching implications not only for me yes but also on the debate in india on federalism in the way how this change has been done and. regard

to the ongoing debate on secularism in india from the international side from the foreign policy side and yes position has changed. so they still see it as a bilateral issue pakistan but as we've seen over the last couple of years the new government is not interested to go into any formal negotiation with pakistan on any issue and not. on this issue especially as you know another 5 yeah i totally agree to him we do not see that although india has been saying that it's a volatile issue and we have to talk about this and only then we can solve it but after this after revoking article $370.35 now there's not going to be any discussion and that is very clear and that belongs to this narrative that not in the more they gave even before he was elected in 2014 that he is there to bring about changes.
