3:04 pm
voluntarily. all right yuri listening to that suggestion is an internationally controlled security zone something that russia and turkey would welcome. well probably yes i mean i think so at least in terms of the kremlin official line moscow has long made a big deal for wanting more international coordination in syria 1st with americans and as the russian minister of defense by the way often complained to the n.c.s. didn't want and he called the ration no the democrats are gone from syria russians could have more coordination with dirk's troops on the ground and some political cold nation with european partners especially with germany at the same time yuri syria's president bashar assad has been visiting soldiers in england province a day this is his 1st trip there since 2011 and it's obvious it's been timed to coincide with everyone and putin's meeting what is assad want to achieve here.

3:10 pm
a symbol for japan and his wife empress massacre was wearing a traditional key not all of the guests were actually able to be around the court ceremony was taking place so they had to be in other rooms where they could follow the ceremony on big screens and right now there's a state banquet taking place a state dinner with 900 guests and of course because we are in japan traditional japanese food is being served this so-called. very very extensive ceremonies that we know this also is the beginning of a new era known as that means beautiful harmony what's said been to the people of japan. well of course it's enough power to fill his role but he made it very clear from the beginning that he he would like
3:11 pm
to step into the footsteps of his father a key hito 10 not emperor means heavenly ruler and already a key he wanted to be closer to his people and now he too is actually planning to do the same thing he already showed. his sway of being closer to the people japan was hit by a very violent typhoon last week heikki peace and he was traveling to the affected regions even before prime minister abbott did to talk to the people to be in contact with his citizens how important is that to the people what does role does the emperor play in japan. well he has no political power a dog but he's still a very strong symbol. he's a symbol for state and unity and the japanese colleague of mine explaining to me very well he said why prime minister shimon so obviously government shows the
3:12 pm
harshness of japan also towards other countries. the emperor represents more like the kindness the law for his citizens he actually represents he's like he said like a bumper i talk to young people i wanted to know from them i wanted to know from them what the emperor still means for them personally they said well nothing for us personally but whenever we have news from the imperial family it really creates a deep or a deep feeling of inner peace correspondent catalina french russian talent thank you so much. you're watching d.w. news still to come fighting anti-semitism in sports germany's largest jewish sports club says it's getting worse and action is urgently need. former football players are at an increased risk of dying from dementia a look at a new study of former softer approach that is raising concerns about the

consequences of playing the sport. at 1st canadian prime minister justin trudeau was one a 2nd term in office but only narrowly is liberal party lost its majority and will now have to lead a minority government the election has been described as the toughest test so far for trudeau here's more. it was a close election but justin trudeau and his liberal party retains power to most of the canadians it has been the greatest allor of my life to serve you for these past 4 years then tonight you're sending us back to work for you oh. we said this is going civilities seriously when we work hard for you for your families and for your future 4 more years in which governing will be harder for trudeau his party lost the majority in monday's election and now has to form
3:14 pm
a minority government to pass legislation it will need the support of smaller parties it was an ugly campaign last minute help came from former us president barack obama who endorsed trudeau i was proud to work with justin trudeau as president he's a hardworking effective leader who takes on big issues like climate change the world needs is progressive leadership now and i hope our neighbors to the north supports him for another term. as young voters all over the world get more politicised canada's young activists also have clear expectations from trudeau. and young canadians have never seen in 10 years they have a war they're making last minute our lives are generally more difficult to hold a nation dinner parents are interested in so we need our government to actually do something about something should plans to provide and his 2nd term you are sending our liberal team back to work back to ottawa with
3:15 pm
a clear mandate we will make life more affordable we will continue to fight climate change we will get guns off our streets and we will keep this. promises he can only keep if he makes friends across the aisle. british prime minister boris johnson is continuing his push to get his european union withdrawal deal passed by parliament today lawmakers are expected to vote on whether they support the deal in principle a 2nd vote is also likely on a possible timetable for 8 and any amendments to the deal johnson is expected to face a strong challenge from opponents across the political spectrum. and let's go to dave you correspondent shot up votes in london for the latest so 2 votes today as we said on the withdrawal bill and then also the timetable for debate what are boris johnson's chances of winning these votes. well you might be surprised
3:16 pm
but johnson's chances of getting this vote through of getting the deal through are actually very good that he might get the majority in parliament and it's symbolic sums up that parliament would give them there but of course there is a but in those breaks that as always and one is that the opposition parties will try to amend the bill they will try to bring in their own ideas on how they want brics have to look like that could pose as a major hurdle to the government and the 2nd one as you are already mentioned is that one on the time table because boris johnson wants to push this bill through in just 3 days so a very short period of time for $110.00 pages of complex legal text and we have to say leaving the european union that is one of the most complex constitutional events that ever happened in the u.k. and parliamentarians are saying we can't do it in 3 days we need longer time so
3:17 pm
this could slow down the process one m.p. even this morning said look we discussed a bill on the ban of wild animals and circuses longer than we are going to discuss this bill so this is not going to work for us all right socialized if johnson fails on one or both of these votes today what does that mean. pretty much that we have back to square one we've been there before of course theresa may last withdrawal agreement vote in parliament 3 times already so this all seems familiar if that were to happen tonight and that means 2 things 1st of all it is most likely that we will see an extension beyond that deadline of october 31st and so the u.k. would non-belief on october 31st wouldn't leave the european union and the 2nd thing is that i think most likely would see fresh elections somehow because really the numbers in parliament need to need to be shaken up to go over the deadlock to get over that deadlock. parts in london for us thank you for your insights.
3:18 pm
now following several recent cases of racial abuse in international soccer germany's largest jewish sports club is now calling for more to be done against anti-semitism the club's manager says team members are facing a clear increase and hostility and is calling for concrete action to be taken including appointing a commissioner on anti-semitism in sports. the frankfurt is the biggest jewish both club in germany. has a cup match today. but anti semitism plays a role even for these youngsters. because the players come from a wide range of backgrounds christian muslim atheist about a 3rd of them are jewish and they often face hostility. shows they get called jew kids and worse that's the typical slang. on obviously and
3:19 pm
i only began to hear these things from my son after he switched to my copy here patiently his insults at school. fortunately we're in an age in which it's happening more. just recently things escalated during a match with my cubbies under nineteen's the result a mass brawl it took 9 police patrol cars to restore order. mccarthy's manager i know my ass says the recent anti semitism seems to be coming from one part of society. in western germany it's mostly opponents with muslim arab backgrounds who in the last 2 to 3 years really have been attacking us swearing at us calling us names since it will be. yulia bandstand at frankfurt's university of applied sciences has researched the topic she says has been an increase in anti semitism among various social groups i'm just calling for the soccer world to crack down on the problem. with us as if it was i think it's very important to send an absolutely
3:20 pm
clear signal in this respect even to the extent of canceling. games as long as no action is taken it looks like things are not so bad as the soccer federation of the state has and has only registered 2 incidents of anti semitism in the last season but on my i believe that many cases go unreported he wants action. and is emitted from want information on anti-semitic incidents in schools to be properly gathered and for that to be an appropriate response at the same time we need to build support structures for these associations and sports clubs through a commissioner on anti-semitism in sports. the soccer association is open to these ideas even though they say a lot is already being done to solve the problem instead of just using punishment it also teaches german jewish history. in terms we're already tackling this problem for who will now teach offenders about the history and the extent of the
3:21 pm
problem through that and frank educational center for example in order to in the light in them about the past. that's very interesting. the mccarthy team has ended their game and they won $101.00 the campaign against anti semitism however will continue into overtime. now a new study published by the university of glasgow says professional football players face an increased risk of dying of dementia and other neurological diseases experts have confirmed a long suspected link between soccer and brain damage but they're not yet sure of what exactly causes it but. a common sight on football pitches the risk of brain damage and head injuries a concern shared in many sports now a university of glasgow study has a stablished a link between football and brain damage while heading the ball is suspected to be
3:22 pm
a key factor the cause has not been confirmed we find that the risk of mortality with alzheimer's disease was about 5 times higher than would expect from population through motor neuron disease where it was around 4 times higher than to parkinson's disease where we saw doubling the study is the largest looking into neurodegenerative disease in any sport surveying thousands of men who played professionally in scotland between 190-1976 while football poses a risk playing professional sport still has a positive impact overall. whilst they had a higher risk of near gentle disease they had a lower risk of other common illnesses such as kind of asked z's and cancers and so when you balance that together what we find is that up to about age 70 or footballer's had lower mortality we would expect from population controls but once we get beyond the age of 70 the mortality increases dr stuart now plans further

study hoping to conclusively prove exactly which aspects of the game up putting lives at risk. the 17th century dutch artist rembrandt is considered a master visual artist and certainly the most important dutch history his spanish contemporary. was one of the most important painters of the spanish golden age their contrasting work is now on show at a landmark exhibition in amsterdam its rights museum part of a series of events marking the 350th anniversary of branstad. the highlights of rembrandt year 29 seen at the rocks museum in amsterdam here were the world is watching the restoration of rembrandt iconic the nightwatch life streamed across the globe it's a painting that every child in the netherlands knows but it's here and i'm sadam that rembrandt meets another master painting diego velazquez.
3:24 pm
alaska's lived in staunchly catholic spain in the service of the king rembrandt lived in the dutch republic where citizens had a say they never crossed paths in their lifetime and all the countries were war with each other the old masters share similarities they have never seen a self-portrait where the eyebrows are raised as high as in this painting by rembrandt he poses a question to the audience and it's certainly directed at us who am i what's the role that i play then when i look to the other side to velasquez he painted a portrait of a very small man for free to pursue the future for these tiny men with no court jesters under philip the 9 to behold but he doesn't paint them ridiculous. in those this is a portrait where the last because it takes people as seriously as rembrandt on the sets. both painters represent the golden years of the countries in the 17th century
3:25 pm
the recurrent themes of power love or faith and of course realism are woven through both men's works the exhibition also juxtaposes works. of all those dutch and spanish artists of the same period but no other comparison is as exciting as that between rembrandt and velasquez both revolutionized the art of the time of business for us because we know that the last kiss was the friend of the king in this respect he had many freedoms and money on the other hand there was rembrandt to also found obligations to the rich people who gave you money later he faced bankruptcy and moved into a slum he said he felt much more comfortable them because he no longer had to dial down to people being off before going from to new. alaska's died over worked at the age of 61 rembrandt dying aged 63 impoverished and destitute but both remain unfocused and. you're
