our documentary slavery routes starts march 10th on w. . this is d. w. news a wire from berlin britain's royal family breaks his silence on accusations of racism buckingham palace says the queen is saddened by the challenges faced by prince harry and his wife meghan and that their claims will be addressed in private not public also coming up on the show jury selection begins in the case of george floyd minneapolis is bracing for the trial of the white former police officer

accused of his murder our correspondent is there with the latest. and to the end of an era in german football national team coach of his stepping down a year early to tell you what he now has in common with german chancellor angela merkel. hello i'm claire richardson welcome to the show britain's queen elizabeth has responded to the tell all interview given by her grandson prince harry and his wife and markel the couple shocked millions with their accusations of racism especially the revelation that a member of the royal family voiced concerns over the skin color their son could be born with in a statement released by buckingham palace the queen said the whole family is saddened to learn the full extent of how challenging the last few years have been for harry. and meghan the issues raised particularly that of race are concerning

some recollection recollections may vary they are taken very seriously and will be addressed by the family privately harry macon and archie will always be much loved family members. and charlotte tells them bill is in the london with the latest charlie it's at the palace quite a while to come up with a statement what do you make of it. yeah well i think a lot of people in palestine i wouldn't say what does it take quite a while you have to bear in mind that the allegations that have been leveled at the world family at the palace have been extremely serious particularly the issues surrounding race which you mentioned of course mental health as well that was something that was covered extensively in the interview meghan saying that she felt so lonely and so isolated that at times she felt like she was having considering taking her in life that's extremely serious and that's something that the powers want to look at very closely they want to put out

a carefully crafted statement that represents the whole family showing the public that they are taking this seriously and let's bear in mind this is also a family drama that's playing out the family themselves will have needed time to digest what was said a lot of the claims in that interview i'm sure many in the royal family would have found streaming difficult listen they need to process they've now released this this short statement and i think looking at it it's clear that the world family now would like this at least for now to be the end of this they're trying to put a stop to the media frenzy that surrounding this interview saying they're taking it seriously but they will be handling it privately well it remains to be seen whether or not that is going to be allowed to be the case because still a lot of questions are asked about what exactly is going to be done to address some of the claims made in that interview and you write that these are extremely serious allegations and the royal family clearly under pressure here do you think that this

interview is going to do serious damage to support to public support for the marquis which is after all an institution seen by many as outdated and intolerant. yeah well you have to bear in mind that public opinion in the u.k. is split about the royal family and that is very clear from the polling that you've seen that's come out since that interview add in fact the majority of the general public feel more sympathetic with the royal family than they do for obama than they do for meghan and harry which is extremely interesting given the nature of that interview i think there are some people who really found it left a fan taste in their mouths not only the way that the megan and harry the sussex is left the world family but the nature of this interview the way it was conducted the fact that it was done while his grandfather was in hospital for example is something that a lot of people have talked about what is interesting though is that young people seem to have more sympathy in the u.k.

for macon harry than older people this is the 1st taste of a drama of family drama old this nature i mean a lot of the older generation myself i would include in this remember what happened with princess diana with harry's mother and the scandal that then unfolded in the way that the world family had to really look at the way that it's managed conducts itself remains to be seen now whether the reverberations like that will be felt for years to come off of this and ran awakening for the younger generation charlotte charles until in a london thank you very much for that update. and the united states now where jury selection has started in the george floyd case former police officer derek chauvin is accused of murdering floyd in the city of minneapolis last may the selection was supposed to start on monday but it was delayed after an appeals court ordered the judge to consider an extra murder charge against a chauffeur and see here on the right when he's already accused of murder and of

manslaughter the killing of george floyd a black man sparked protests in cities across the united states around the world. and your correspondent stuff and simon's joins us now from in front of the court in minneapolis a stop on this is such a high profile case that has sparked outrage not just in the united states but around the world how are they going to be able to find an impartial jury for this case. good question it's definitely a tall order major challenge for the judge for the defense team and for the prosecutors here today they went through 6 potential jurors and actually 2 got chosen so 2 jurors already selected and agreed upon and 4 were sent home and dismissed now this is going to go on for the next 23 weeks judges scheduled this whole procedure finding the right jurors for 3 weeks so there is time to spend but it is difficult is probably just if that are radically possible

to find a really impartial mind but this is what of course the court is asking for an impartial mind set and you know there's the presumption of innocence and the jurors have to prove or have to make sure that the defense team and the prosecutors and the judges said this fight with translating to them that they are able to be impartial and to be. building a new opinion according to the law or within the realm of the law and through logic and rationality. and a former police officer and he's facing 2 charges of 2nd degree murder and manslaughter how difficult will it be to secure a conviction for both of these. how difficult will it be that's a good question that is basically the job of the 12 jurors and for the court i don't know how difficult it is but you see there's 2 charges because of course the prosecution wants and there may be even

a 3rd one at least to stick the 1st charge comes with the up to 40 years of prison the 2nd the manslaughter charge still has 15 years and then there will be a 3rd degree murder charge possibly which also carries time so it needs to be all figured out as you know here in the u.s. the system is used a few things within the confines of the law and a defendant and accused person or individual and then the court will sort out what actually sticks to this to the to what happened and the decision will be made in who knows where in a few months but how difficult this is and what will stick i do not know the answer on this. correspondent chef and simon thank you very much. my supreme court judge in brazil has thrown out corruption convictions against the former president in that a silva in a moment opens the way for lula to challenge brazil's current hardline leaders i

have also now in the next election a man known as lula made his name as a leftist firebrand and has long been a longstanding figurehead in a brazilian politics until the economy slumped and he was engulfed in scandal. he's one of brazil's most popular and divisive figure is now formally luis enough to silver could make a comeback to politics his bid to run 2 years ago was brought to a halt when he was convicted of corruption charges which he says were politically motivated but now a supreme court has a knowledge of the convictions the court said the southern city of could achieve or did not have the or farsi to try lula instead he must be retried in brasilia has long planed his innocence. in a tweet he said he's always been right in this long legal battle. the ruling now means little or has regained his political rights his longtime supporters

celebrated on the streets of sao paolo. if i were both so narrow i wouldn't sleep peacefully because i'm sure that he'll be passing the presidential sash to lula. elsewhere some are not entirely convinced. i will not believe a politician who has already been arrested for corruption and i don't think lula would be the right person to run our country. and his main opponent a right wing president gyre balsa narrow hopes the image of corruption will stick to lula. fucking has always had a strong link with the workers we're not surprised by the decision in that sense. but both scenario has been losing popularity amid the coronavirus pandemic analysts believe the far left could shake up the political scene in brazil's elections next year while lula faces charges and is yet to be tried in brasilia the country heads into an era of growing political polarization. again you have to speak now on some

the 6 nil hammering by spain in the nation's league in november led to widespread calls for him to step down. lurve had been due to stay until the 2022 world cup but ahead of qualifying games later in march he has suddenly decided to give clarity he has announced he will leave after the european championship for june. he will hold a press conference on thursday but in a statement said i am taking this step very consciously full of pride and with enormous gratitude but at the same time with an unbroken level of motivation as far as the euros are concerned because of the timing of his decision is good it means there won't be any speculation about contracts cheering the euros. now it means the decision has been taken and there is clarity and it could even give the team of boost knowing that it's the coach's last tournament and he'll want to make

use of that of this. liverpool's german coach jurgen klopp has already ruled himself out of the running to replace if that's the question we want to. do before the job or for the benefit of course of the german national team because i won't know. the euros being postponed from last year because of the coronavirus means there is little time for a successor to stand his off or at sea on the team because world cup kicks off in november next year assuming you call the 5. champions league football and in the round of 16 going to sleep aside dot meant have drawn to 2 would say but advance for the quarter file finals on aggregate after having won their 1st encounter young the norwegian scoring machine early holland netted both of jordan's goals he's now scored in every champions league game he's appeared in this season also on tuesday or to have advanced to the quarter finals even though they lost 32

jazz president esau who wins the mole ibrahim prize for. i told me a lot of ball glad you could join us we start in senegal which has been experiencing some of its worst unrest in years it began last wednesday when the arrest of the opposition leader it was months on course sparked off deadly clashes between his supporters and police president mikey stahl is calling for calm some call it says he wants the protests to continue but peacefully. from. home region in the fast south to the capital dhaka his followers have taken their demands to the streets of senegal. all senegalese people expressed their dissatisfaction with the regime he's the dictator president macky sall. we're

fighting for freedom for justice and also for the development of senegal. protesters faced off against riot police at the tear gas canisters for. several people have already died in 6 days of protests triggered by some close arrest. you the victims must not have been in vain so that this never happens again and sinegal we must maintain this mobilization it must be even bigger but it must be peaceful. in. senegal usually a beacon of stability in west africa has been rocked by its worst violence in years . i call for calm and peace. all together let's silence our bitterness and avoid the logic of confrontation which

leads to the worst opiate president cell has been in power since 2012 political pressure on him is growing fueled by allegations that any challenges is subject to political hit jobs the opposition fears he may try for a 3rd term beyond the 2 term limit in the constitution. the people demanded that in 2024 he will pack his bags and he will leave for now tsonga seems willing to bide his time till the next poll in 2024 as the protests well his followers may not want to wait that long i'm now joined by a journalist he's the editor of africa check and there dakar bureau welcome to the program now one song is still calling for mass protests across the country are

these likely to continue now that he's been released from police custody. yes really some. must protest but. peacefully so in this. because a call already made such a day by a group of 40 could parties in cities and movement for tree days of the most russians truly a country on monday just in wednesday and yes the release of song goes seems to ease the tension especially since the president made a speech on monday on monday evening or so calling for calm and an easing of the curfew was imposed in the context of the struggle against good night and all of this could help ease the tension but yes the demonstration continue but i think that the to be. it won't be in the same level as they was

last days ok just looking at. as a politician he came 3rd in the elections several of the opposition candidates who contested against the president has since joined the government of national unity is there any chance of being co-opted or or does he poses a genuine threat. i think there is no chance to. be gulped and. to join the regime because he's now in a position of being the number one opponent to do too much to resume and he's a truly a 3 to the ruling establishment as he's calling to a shift in the way politics is done in the country since the independents. also getting more and more support from people who are coming from different political lines you can have former leftist you're not just and but

a few counties in also sokol in his allies also paid for already finishing off relations with the form of the arpaio in d.c. is badly seen by the establishment in and is political. it is a political ally and is seen as a new a new wave in the country so yes. a switch to 2 markets are. subtle has long been seen as one of west africa's more stable democracies have these recent events damaged. i've been known to say that the recent events of. it just. been a stable democracy but in recent years. to create the gains has been lost and what they think is that these recent events are

a kind of expression of fed up in that they did a really. good. leaders the government truly aware that it is absolutely necessary to preserve democracy ok. and speaking to us that thank you very much for bringing us up to speed. while most of the world has been under covert 19 restrictions it's been largely business as usual in tanzania last month the government there finally acknowledged the disease as a public health priority still not much has changed like in the island of zanzibar where tourists are still coming in. this is the legendary so i ot's have to sara festival and sounds about. everyone is dancing to the hearts content tourists and locals to grab a chair racing to the beat of the bands. it's february 2021

right in the middle of a pandemic yet convinced 1000 seems to be far away for many here. i'm generally a block and have friends came from russia this is already their 2nd time here on the island in just 2 months. they bought me a bottle there and. i. know we have. had a great deal to me. and i. know it'll be a free free her 2 year if not you know it's a pretty good way to rise up i don't remember. what about it was. for many zanzibar mean summer sun and the sea instead of tough restrictions tourism is encouraged as if everything's normal. charter flights mainly from russia and eastern europe blantyre regularly. sounds about as not one in this region of

tanzania is president has been in denial about coronavirus for months since may of last year a number of cases are no longer made public. everything's under control according to the acting health minister of the island so far we've just been going on very well. people coming and making sure that getting through the stuff that's we've not had any issues that the government might must take this very serious. journalist to levels he begs to differ he says corona virus is spreading across the island because he reported on that he's been banned from practicing his profession for several months he says coronavirus has become a to do subject. we see so many of it we see a lot of people dying and. we do not there's a lot of dies last they can't bring up we're not used to seeing someone who can't read properly or who has a bad cold what if you look at that then you can see that it's the same sentence as with kill but now town by. the sea is demanding stricter measures to protect the

people on zanzibar however he says the government wants to keep tourism running at any price because it's so important for the island. a lot of people like to a guide cassim 10100 i depended on tourists for their livelihood he's happy he can our company a group from bulgaria. has been working in the sector for 5 years and as he did learn german for the many german tourists seized to come before the pandemic struck then for months there was hardly any work. that changed when the island promoted tourism again the 30 year old says at least he's earning money again to provide for his family he says he's not scared the tourists might bring coronavirus to the island. i think hunger is worse than corona. if no tourists come then people will stop that's why us. many people however irresponsibly says germans have been an average from zanzibar biggest tourism agency. she says that

a huge black market a negative coronavirus certificates for tourists has been thriving on the arm and for quite a while. she's made sure her employees understand the disease and the 2 of us as everyone has to wear a face mask including the tourists. and mother he says tourism is possible if you take the right protective measures that's all it's about traveling responsibly now that the pandemic has been around for a year everyone in the world should know what it is how the disease can spread and what we can do to protect yourself should. last month the 1st vice president of the died of covert 19 according to his party that may have given pause to rethink fitness. indeed now authorities are asking people to wear masks and keep a safe distance. new jazz outgoing president mohammad yousuf who is the recipient of the 2020 mo ibrahim prize for african political

in germany. 60 minutes to w. . what secrets lie behind. discover new adventures in the 360 degree. and explore fascinating world heritage sites. world heritage 360 get kidnapped now. are things walking up the organization. and for economic cooperation and development seems to think so it says the global economy could recover faster than expected if that's nation efforts go well quite a big if in many places. the world's biggest tourism fair starts in berlin and all of it online travel for face to face gatherings for means difficult or travel

of most kinds for that matter. and 2 months after the u.k. left the e.u. single market irish truckers find a way to get to europe that gets around the paperwork and well the u.k. . this is the value of business i'm joined now on in berlin so happy you could join us and we're starting with some good news the world the economic prospects are improving that's according to the organization for economic cooperation and development the o.e.c.d. it says a vaccination programs and direct fiscal support in some countries will help global g.d.p. growth to 5.6 percent in 2021 global output is now expected to top preplanned amik levels by mid next year by midyear sorry but major risks still remain including vaccine resistant covert mutations such mutations could lead to weaker recovery job losses and more business closures the report stressed that speedy vaccine

deployment is key to the global economic recovery here's the o.e.c.d. chief economist who. there are lots of reasons to run these projections and. a lot of them to now turn on. because going to have very different face of x. nation because they have those lazy shit and we're seeing a lot of their religions. that do accident rates and because there are one backs even fast and can. vary if the countries that do not might see nothing do not manage well the situation cannot reopen and they're starting to look at all of who employ. now one country which is vaccinating quickly is the united states time to cross over to the other side of the pond with our correspondent in new york now against the o.e.c.d.

has been quite upbeat about the us there and its forecasts is that enthusiasm justified. obs there i think the sound broke off but i think i got your question and i would say in general things actually do look much brighter and there is reason for optimism i'm standing here in front of the local movie theater pretty much a year ago they had to shut down and they put the sign of see you on the other side meaning on the other side of the pandemic and it looks like we are getting closer to this other site clearly a lot depends on the vaccinations but just to go to morrow actually in new york the age limit for vaccinations that will get lowered to to 60 years so we are making quite some progress there by the way just last friday the movie theater was allowed to to reopen like all the movie theaters in the city even with a lowered to capacity and then a nice spring where they're finally coming to the polls east of the united states

so we will definitely see busier arrestor and visits for instance that are clearly not everything is picture perfect especially for the job market it will take some time to fully recover but the although all around the economy definitely looks brighter and if the o.e.c.d. is right and actually in the pas they often also have been wrong but if they should be right that would be the strongest economic year the strongest growth in the united states since 19 eighty-four so clearly there are some things to look up and as i do not have the sound big just give you one brief. what happens at the stock market even if the biggest gains faded away towards the close of the trading for most of the day it looked like here we could have closed above $32000.00 points for the 1st time ever even if we did not quite to achieve that but just imagine 32000 points and it's evolved 4 years ago that for the 1st time ever shortly after donald

trump took office the dollar jones industrial average for the 1st time crossed 20000 points now we're at 12000 points higher so all this optimism clearly also reflected in the stock prices on wall street. there for us can i hear you but i am thanking you for your reporting. now to some of the other global business stories making news. this by frightening forecasts the u.s. still has far to go to recover from the pandemic a new associated press survey shows 4 out of 10 americans are feeling the financial impact of the loss of a job or income within their household those and low paid and unskilled jobs have seen the biggest cuts to their income. german exports have been increasing despite the pandemic in january exports grew by 1.4 percent compared to the previous month foreign business is benefiting from the fact that the economy in china is

performing well and production in the u.s. is picking up again. airlines in the u.s. are urging the white house develop a standardized system to get passengers flying again various groups and countries are currently working on so-called vaccine passports that would allow some travelers back on to planes but airlines fearful of a righty of different approaches that will cause confusion and disruption. and speaking of an eventual return to the skies the international travel fair is the world's largest event for the industry and it is kicking off today in berlin but it's only taking place digitally as travel remains difficult as the numbers show last year it saw a 74 percent slump worldwide as the pandemic led to widespread restrictions that spent $1.00 trillion dollars in lost revenue for airlines hotels and many others in the industry putting some 120000000 jobs at risk around the world.

and the beeches form the backdrop to the growing despair and anger among spanish tourism workers here on the holiday island of new york hotels and restaurants have been shutting down pushing many close to poverty spain is just one of many tourism reliant economies that have been dealt a heavy snow by the pandemic in 2020 tourism drop 69 percent in north and south america in africa and the middle east visitor numbers plunge 75 percent europe's or 70 percent fewer vacationers and in the asia pacific region there was an 84 percent did. the outlook remains bleak vaccination progress is slow countries like australia and new zealand are keeping their borders closed in europe a standardized vaccination card is being debated but when things will return to

normal is anybody's guess. orders and exporters on either side of the english channel are still getting to grips with breaks it and what it means for them a good 2 months after you trading rule stopped applying to the u.k. but a closer look will reveal that trade between dover and cali is bearing signs of change . since the start of the year the patrol boats of the french port of share bore have been extra busy the number of gigantic freight ferries arriving and leaving here has tripled. almost all the new traffic through the ports is either going to or coming from the republic of ireland and all because of the brics it is why. before the u.k. left the use the standard route for road freight from auckland to get to france was to go via the u.k. and had to cali but new paperwork brought on by persons exit from the single market in january has made that journey

a lot less. simple so many irish truckers are cutting the u.k. out of the equation and taking this sea route direct to share e.u. member state to even member state since pratchett it's always direct why do you turn to easier there's people. too much hassle in england but customs are here and some when ever he was running ok he was people with no. success and the porter chef who is more than happy to oblige. crossing takes 17 hours we have all the equipment needed to welcome the company's. ships. because we're all to show. he's also welcoming boats from england but they're far from full on the drivers who arrive have a very different experience to those coming from ireland with long waits and customs but. it can be one hour it could be 3 days.

teams of border workers are doing what they can to help you go back in maybe 1015 minutes but with arlen's holy is finding ways to cut england out altogether the bricks the bricks the only ones forging a new path. for the 1st time in decades and through as he asked the job seekers are queuing up at cuba's employment offices eager for work until now a hotel porter on the island could earn up to 10 times more than a doctor or a computer engineer since the beginning of the year that's been changing with the introduction of a major monetary reform. people in the cuban capital have emma q enthusiastically at a state employment agency carlos manuel parris works as a baker but he wants to get back to his old job 5 years ago paris quit his job as a boxing coach at the cuban institute of sports discouraged by his monthly salary

of $500.00 pesos around 20 u.s. dollars now the job pays 11 times more than the i'm very happy because thank god a job offer that i came looking for as they are before i was praying as if to say there will be vacancies in physical education or teaching jobs and look i found it . but the reforms have also pushed consumer prices up making it much harder to survive on state welfare. if we want to work no matter if it's a technical or professional job our interest is to be able to produce and contribute to the country and given the economic situation we need to work it's necessary that. the reform will also see cuba's convertible peso pegged to the american dollar since 1994 to replace the u.s. currency phased out by the middle of this year that will leave only the cuban peso

how offensive our old cartoons or warner brothers has now announced that pepe le pew the amorous skunk who 1st appeared in 1905 has been canceled from the new space jam sequel critics nowadays say the character promotes rape culture well and over a disney they're going further and addressing old offenses for months now disney plus has been putting warnings on some of disney's most famous movies saying that they contain racist stereotypes that the company admits are wrong disney's focusing now on getting it right here's a look at their new movie ride on the last dragon. brave warrior ryan sets off to save the world the fact that she's a woman is no hindrance it's not even anything special it's simply not an issue.

you are in. while the film has its share of disney style whimsy riaa is a cartoon heroine for a new generation. everyone is really beginning to have a vision for this movie being definitely different from everything that we sort of historically thought up and see what we can we think of the words just the princess we begin to specific genre of film so yeah i think everything has really come is that it's not just wanting it to be. i a film that authentically represented as a very specific special part of the world but we also wanted it to be different my girl ryan are going to fix the world bringing everyone back the team behind the film was inspired by various asian countries that's also represented in the casting part of the reason why this production has given its actors hope for better representation as asian american performers we just want there to be more because the landscape has changed so much from when we were kids and they were literally you can count on your hand how many asian american actresses or actors are in the

mainstream media and so to now they're being. just so much more inclusive any in front of the camera and behind the camera in movies like this. are. taking the 1st step does mean am ing toward more diversity better more respectful representation of nonwhite characters with movies like riot in the last dragon one of our d.w.i. reporters my crew is following disney's efforts michael go and start with this new movie what are people saying about it well the reviews quite positive and it was absolutely weiss at the highest so many asian americans for this project but they are still voices was a bit upset about the mix of different cultures in this movie a bit from taiwan a bit from malaysia a bit from china so there is still something going on right ok and to put that in

context disney didn't even used to try to get it right or if you look back at the representation from from past decades particularly when it comes to asian stereotypes and this is one of the reasons that disney plus now on its platform has these warnings that are saying look these movies contain racial stereotyping because let's see what the disney company in the past had in mind when it comes to asian. inspired clips of movies these scenes can be very offensive to a lot of people so here's the warning this is from the movie lady and the tramp depicted with n.t. asians do it type the premier was 955 in those days asian americans were also confronted with exclusion in society here we are with the wrist accounts from 1920 and today we have still the attacks against asian americans so the discrimination is still relevant and while we grew up with all those old movies

one of my favorite ones i don't know which one is yours is the jungle book and you can see the scene with king louis without thinking though of the accusations this big thing people black people as lazy from africa. i was just blind to that i have to admit when i was a child very interesting how they changed king louis in the movie from 26 being here he reminds me more of a mixture of a mafia boss and a monster just like king kong for some so if you ask me if this was a good decision to put warnings in front of the movies i have to admit absolutely because it forces everybody now to think about how we use syria types and how we're using them now absolutely and of course there's even talk that disney himself may have been a racist mickey mouse himself is based on recent stereotypes we've come
