in turkey domestic violence is on the rise according to rights groups and so as you mentioned is the number of famous sites. well i mean conservatives say that their agreement which is designed to protect women in fact threatens family values when is that the official reason is that president and why has turkey withdrawn from this accord. well in fact when take he signed the istanbul convention here in istanbul. and that it was seen as a great through in terms of gender equality but the discussion here the debate has completely changed last year senior politicians and president at once conservative islam is true to take a pee started to argue that this convention encourages and they said it's immoral lifestyles like homosexuality they were met with massive protests by women but now it seems the president is one that's what observers say both into the pressure

coming from hardliners in his ruling coalition so he is trying to reenergize the conservative voter base amid voter base amid an economic downturn so that's what observers say that has domestic reasons what we're seeing here right now. the government not worried about on the wrist that this decision could provoke. this these protests are definitely not going to go away i mean we're expecting more of them i guess in the next days and weeks to come because even conservative goodman told me that they were in favor of this is to both conventions so there must be some kind of political rationale here for president if you want to come up with this decision this time. thank you turkey correspondent yulia han in istanbul . thousands of people have gathered in the german city of castle to protest coronaviruses. fiction's

took from a source for him afterwards in every instance it was a low but with 2 conditions you know and it's also this is n.p.r. the one is america as you can see most of the people here are not wearing masks because these overload yourself it is necessary to wear a mask but not even the people who are looking over to these are not american wearing it they have been several photos for people to wear a mask but if you can see it happening still no sign of the frozen movies or go for police anytime soon. benjamin alvarez group is speaking to us from the german city of castle thank you. let's take a look at some of the other stories making news around the world in thailand police have used water cannon and riot gear to disperse hundreds of protesters at a rally in bangkok the demonstration took place after the type parliament failed to pass a bill to rewrite the country's military backed constitution a key demand of the protesters. a dormant volcano in southwestern iceland has

by the corona virus pandemic which started in asia even though the motive of the alleged killer is not clear u.s. president joe biden who met with local asian american leaders in atlanta on friday said change is needed but we have to change our hearts hate can have no safe harbor in america it must stop and so on all of us all of us together to make it stop police say the suspect denies that he did it out of racism he suggested he did it to end his sex addiction and eradicate the temptation of message palace or never the motivation we know this to marry asian americans have been walking up and down the streets and were waking up each morning the past year feeling their safety the safety of their loved ones are at stake they've been attacked. scapegoated harassed they were in verbal assault and physically assaulted kill their suspect

has confessed to the crimes and has been charged with murder in 8 deaths. tokyo's troubled olympic games have suffered a novice setback with the announcement that international fans will not be able to attend to the coronavirus concerns the sonic games were due to take place last year but will post fine china to the pandemic now organizers have confirmed that only japan based fans will be allowed to attend i planned to refund almost a 1000000 tickets which had to be sold which have already been sold to international fans. did he report it dull roy has been following this and some of the problems surrounding the olympics tell thanks for coming in and this decision not really unexpected but it did come with quite a literal shock can you tell us more there was a very illustrative moment when during the meeting that led to this decision and earthquake struck off the coast of japan and we can have

a look now at some images of tokyo as governor speaking a jury not meeting as the quake strikes and you can see a looking up at the furniture shaking still quite composed now the quake was a 7.2 magnitude quake engine shook shook buildings across tokyo but it didn't lead to any injuries or known deaths so far and of course the olympic committee will be hoping for a similar positive health outcome by making this announcement in keeping international guests out in the middle of a global pandemic and we can have a listen to the international olympic committee president thomas bath who explained that safety has to come 1st. or 1st priority. was essential remain so the safety of all of the t.c. burns off through the olympic games and of course. the trip a nice people we have to take a decision which are may need secret fice from from.

everybody. and where we have to ask or for the understanding of their also off everybody or for the city if you go to decisions. and the same president speaking about the decision then i'll tell he mentioned sacrifices how much of a financial sacrifice is this going to be for japan well they haven't actually announced how much those 1000000 tickets are going to be worth but i did some of the calculations here no previous analyses show that on average olympic guests spend around 1500 euros worth while traveling in a host city so that means japan is forgoing at least $1500000000.00 euros worth of tourism revenue alone and these games are already on track to be the most expensive on record however they had only sold around 4 and a half 1000000 tickets now that is less than the number of tickets that was sold for the last games at rio de janeiro and way less than them was sold for the london

olympics so this announcement might also be a way of sort of saving face and explaining away the empty seats that we were already going to we're going to see in those stadiums also to mention while the ticket cost of being refunded travel costs are not so that's why it's such hotels so many fans who were hoping to go and had bought tickets maybe double the disappointed certainly hope everyone took out some very good travel insurance but this is only the latest problem of many with this sort of poison chalice games really if you tell us a bit more about that so yes just days ago the creative director of the games was forced to resign after it emerged that he had suggested a female comedian attend the games wearing a pig cost you that became known as the olympics scandal and that followed previous derogatory statements about women made by the previous head of the games who said that women talk too much in meetings as a result he had to resign so 2 key officials are gone and there's another controversy related to the lympics that you might not know about but the i.o.c.

has already announced in advance that the host city for the 2032 olympic games is going to be brisbane australia now that's my hometown however lation has actually angered other cities particularly some in germany's rule rinds region now they will . hoping to make a joint bid for the games and they are angered that the i.o.c. has ignored the previous procedures of announcing the winner as of these games and german politicians have said that they will fight on to try and win those games back from australia so even though the current host city is beset by problems there are still other cities around the world fighting for the chance to host future olympics all the battle between australia and germany begins that is maybe not good news for us to hold out for i thank you very much for coming in. you're watching news has a reminder of the top stories we're following for you thousands are protesting in turkey after the government pulls out of an international accord protecting women from violence the council of europe of course known as the ystem whole convention
