today some women all women also told me that they now fear massive setbacks for their rights and an increase in violence against a women according to rights groups here in the country domestic violence has dramatically increased in recent years and so did the number of women birgitte by men let's listen to what some of the protesters had to say. femicide will rise even more the treaty didn't protect us when it was in effect anyway every day women are killed in the streets in the bus in the car who reads their stories when you go to the police they say it's ok he is your husband to give him for the sake of your children but when that woman returns home the same police officers go to there a day after to take her to a funeral how are they protecting us which woman is a jew unprotected to this day i think it's all the same nothing changes. you went in and out of a month before you serve trust in the government and the police but we cannot trust them now we don't have an assurance who will we trust there is no state no police

behind us to protect us where our day will. not have a. yes femicide will rise it's on the rise anyway there is no pause every day we wake up to a femicide in the news and we go to sleep with another one death never ends women die nothing happens to men men live. so you know very frustrated voices you hear a lot of despair in what these women have had to say and yet conservatives in turkey argue 7 that this accord actually threatens turkey's traditional family values is this why a president heir to one decided to withdraw it from the international court. well you have to understand that the whole discourse surrounding this istanbul convention has dramatically changed 10 years ago when it was signed it was hailed

as a breakthrough for gender equality here in turkey and then last year members also present ones conservative islamist rooted a.k.p. started to suggest the government should withdraw from the from the treaty arguing as you mentioned that aid threatens traditional muslim family structures or encourages homosexuality then women took to the streets in protest but still we saw prison edwin's decision now so why is that observers argue that it only shows how much influence hardliners gained in his ruling party and ruling party correlation and turkey has been experiencing an economic downturn or downturn for quite some while now and they're saying this is a good one and his party trying to energize and mobilize their base so the move has domestic reasons that's what observers say and yet where does this leave women's rights activists in turkey is there any hope that the protests today

will have any impact. well the women we met today are determined to continue their protests i heard them show shout over and over again we will not be silenced we will not give up so we can expect more protests i guess some lawyers have also argued that it's actually not up to present everyone to withdraw from an international agreement but only up to the turkish parliament so we might see some legal challenges to present decree but many women today told me that this briefly has been a dark day for them and for women's rights in the country so i expect this issue to continue to determine the agenda here in turkey our correspondent in istanbul thank you so much for your reporting. let's get

a check now of some of the other stories making news around the world. and london's scuffles broke out between police and protesters as hundreds of people demonstrated against lockdown measures some protesters were detained authorities had warned people not to congregate and risk spreading the coronavirus. many persians have been rushing to leave the city ahead of a new lockdown which has just gone into effect in some of france's most populous areas many shoppers also made a last minute purchases before stores were closed the government ordered the measures to curb a rising kovac 19 infection numbers. u.s. president joe biden and vice president camila harris have condemned anti asian violence in the u.s. which has spiked since the beginning of the pandemic biden implicitly blamed former president donald trump for stoking hate by calling covert 19 the china virus

it to end his sex addiction and eradicate the temptation of message promise whatever the motivation we know this too many 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 blame scapegoated harassed they've been verbal is sold physically assaulted killed. a suspect has confessed to the crimes and has been charged with murder in 8 deaths. tokyo's troubled olympic games have suffered another setback with the announcement that international fans will not be able to attend due to coronavirus concerns the summer games were due to take place last year bonds were postponed due to the pandemic well now we're going to answers have confirmed only japan based fans will

be allowed to attend they plan to refund almost $1000000.00 tickets which have been sold to international fans. good every reporter joel dollar right has been following this and various other problems surrounding the olympics so greetings to you joel so a lot of people were anticipating this decision and yet when it was finally announced it came with a real shock tell us what happened there was a very illustrative moment during the meeting that led up to this decision when an earthquake struck off the coast of japan and we can see here tokyo's governor looking up to the side noticing that the furniture is shaking during the meeting the earthquake was a 7.2 magnitude earthquake was quite as big one but there were no reported injuries or deaths across tokyo they did shake up buildings but of course the organizing committee will be hoping that there will be similarly no injuries deaths or infections as a result of covert 19 which is the reason they did made this decision to keep out

international guests and we can hear more from the head of the international olympic committee thomas bach who explained the reasons. or 1st priority. was essential remains so the safety of all of the super offer the olympic games and of course. the chap are nice people we have to take your decisions which are may know the secret from. everybody. well we have to us for the understanding. also of everybody for difficult decisions ok that was the i.o.c. president speaking there and this is going to be quite costly for japan isn't it well they haven't announced how much the tickets are worth but i did some basic calculations and. on average olympic guests usually spend around $1500.00 euros

while visiting a city so by this by this decision japan could be forgoing at least $1500000000.00 euros worth of tourism revenue also to mention that while the tickets are going to be refunded the cost of hotels and travel will not be here now until this is not the only problem to hit the olympic games it's been a bumpy road for them tell us more right well just a few days ago the creative director of the games had to resign after he suggested that a theme comedian could attend the games dressed as a pig that became known as the olympic standard followed previous derogatory remarks by the head of the committee of the of the tokyo games who said that women talk too much in meetings he also had to resign and there's another limb be controversy you might not have heard about which is that the i.o.c. has announced that the host city of the 2032 games is likely to be brisbane australia now that's my home city but that has angered some german cities which

wanted to host the games in the ryan rule region and german politicians involved to fight on so even though these current games of margin controversy other cities around the world are still fighting for the chance to host the next next olympics. all right thank you so very much. all right to bundesliga football 2nd place life sick travel to to be the fells a team trying to stay clear of relegation and just barely managed to win and it took until the 2nd half or life sick to break through marcel subnets or tapped the ball into the net for a one elite good work from donnie almost created the chance in the 46 minutes and that was all lights and needed one nil the final score. and late this afternoon he scored a 1st half hat trick as champions byron munich cruised to a foreign ill home victory over stood guard there are plenty of goals elsewhere in the league as well after that leipsic win with frankfurt beating on your own berlin

like with the popular real time simulation game animal crossing your horizons earlier this year it was sold out even democratic presidential candidate joe biden who is nearly 80 years old is using the game to reach new voters over 22000000 people play animal crossing new horizons in this game. now you can also use campaign posters the team behind joe biden's campaign has at. to the game all of which can be put up as. joe biden's campaign team are trying to reach specific target audiences. and animal crossing is an effective way to reach a relatively young mostly female target audience. it's difficult to assess the efficacy of animal crossing or other online games and campaigning but in this

case they definitely managed to grab the media's attention has shifted. gentlemen is not the 1st us politician to try using games during an election campaign in 2006 mark warner in the party favors the democratic presidential primaries made a campaign appearance in the virtual world of 2nd life he was defeated by barack obama who then went on to set up a virtual campaign headquarters in 2nd life in the run up to the 2008 election his campaign. sports and racing games. because of the lack of transparency there's a potential danger with political campaigning in online games. with animal crossing and joe biden there's a lot of media attention and they specifically targeted that game but generally speaking anyone could do that. trump supporters also uploading their own designs to animal crossing president christie activists in hong kong have made content

available to be used to circulate political messages like. whether they like it or not players are bound to be confronted with political issues and animal crossing for the foreseeable future. to be completely honest i'm not sure that game complaining is a good idea sometimes i just want to switch off radical political groups are using animal crossing to spread more extreme views as well users can. flat content but nintendo doesn't have a real strategy to stop hate speech unfortunately the same is true for many other platforms multiplayer games have a huge problem with racism and sexism even if they think it's just fun men and boys are creating a toxic atmosphere online they still crossing a line as a recent example from germany shows you know streaming star montana black normally has over 3000000 followers on the video platform twitch due to his massage honest

and sexist videos. a good 32 year olds account was blocked for a month afterwards montana black apologized for his heavily criticized holiday videos. the outcome from this case is unusual because perpetrators though normally face any consequences usually it's the gamers who speak out against sex is a missile jimmy and racism who become targets for coordinated hate complaints this past summer dozens of women spoke out about experiences of sexual violence on twitch and since then they have been numerous accounts of women being harassed or abused online. as a gamer who likes to play a lot especially online she encounters massage and it's again souls and games on a daily basis i don't know what i would call some of them very slight insults so there are the classics you better go to the kitchen and fix me

a sandwich. and it just gets worse from there of course. there are no boundaries i've been threatened with rape multiple times on the internet. situations support from other players is rare. this is. normal and nobody is really bothered. everyone just accepts it ok it's just another insult. not all gamers are racist. but the gaming scene in. particular has a real problem one reason for that is a lack of moderators to oversee communication on the different platforms. images it's a big problem and we see that gaming platforms and communities create spaces where this hatred and toxic communication are expressed openly unlike social media perpetrators don't really fear any consequences for their actions with its games on facebook i believe more action is needed to stop online hate speech the game is

seen as a problem but that doesn't mean that every should offend is prone to violence studies have refuted the killer game misconception still statics of 1st person shooter games have played a role in terrorist attacks there's even a term for it the game if occasion of tara. these are live streams which facebook seen from the 1st person shooter perspective the terrorist attacks in christchurch new zealand and how to gemini all recent examples of what experts call the game with a case of terror the terrorist and honey even posted an achievement list online containing objectives he wanted to collect just like in a video game on how. the hell a terrorist posted that racist achievement list online to create a degree of comparability like to make a sport out of it to say hey look at my high score can you beat it. it's a form of game of location that tries to portray these horrific terrorist attacks

as playful and game like how have the boundaries between gaming and reality become so blurred for some people and how do others watch on the fascination. serious games is a term used by some expose to describe games used for educational purposes like teaching politics or history through the dockers of times is a game set in nazi germany and aims at raising historical awareness even one germany's most prestigious computer game award i thought. was made in 1933 the masses was celebrating. we knew that this was the beginning and worst times were to come we knew that the nazis didn't make threats we had to do something this is the starting point in the strategy game through the darkest of times here players take on the role of resistance fighters some of the tasks include organizing the secret resistance against hitler recruiting new members raising

money for protesting this game doesn't need a 1st person shooter perspective to end fatally paying back at the berlin based company behind the game uses gaming to make history more accessible in a playful way and that's just the beginning. of computer i believe that we're only just getting started with using computer games and the possibilities that they represent especially with education. i'm talking about exciting intelligent games that are fun to play that are educational but not in an obvious way. i believe that usage for these kinds of games will increase because we simply need them. whether it's historical facts. learning about right wing extremism like with leon's character or learning mathematical formulas whilst gaming. education and computer games are a good match. but leaving serious games aside for

a moment computer games are increasingly taking big social issues and even the future pages picked up on this in fact many games can compete with hollywood movies . concept design and music it's amazing to see what game designers create nowadays have a look at this was. epic soundtracks played by an orchestra . voice service by famous musicians. to. elaborate animations created with the latest hollywood technology games are no longer considered cultural art form as director of the german cultural council and is a prominent figure in germany's cultural landscape and his handbook on gaming culture he argues that games can be more than entertainment. tell

a story differently and the person dealing with the story feels like they're part of the story and have greater control over how the story unfolds a. real one example is c. of solitude a game created by german design economy. and this game turns negative emotions like anxiety loneliness or depression into experiences. my game is very metaphorical and full of symbolism it's my personal story it's the story of my life but i don't want it to be told like this happened that happened so i hide it in more abstract things you roam through this world and bit by bit you discover different parts of the story. kentucky roots 0 is a surreal game set in a mystical version of kentucky full of strange encounters the homeless that is based on the t.v. series twin peaks. character development

is becoming increasingly important in action games as well like in god for the newest game in the series the warrior craze hans has to deal with. the blockbuster video game the last of us to only has female protagonists and tells a story about love. games will not be able to get around the broader societal demand that shifting towards more diversity and representation. that's why i feel the gaming scene is still lacking we're arguing among each other and it is a contentious debate we should also be debating it on panels and at podiums we should ask how could you create this character in this way what were you thinking have you ever thought about how this can impact society. how.

a broader discussion on games and their content would be helpful i think that in the near future games will be as important as movies or t.v. series which is why they deserve an equally as serious conversation for that same reason game designers and gaming platforms should be held accountable for tackling and removing hate speech what do you think games a cultural art form or are they just something with which to pass the time tell us on facebook or d w dot com and check out our you tube channel for more on gaming culture that's it for me for today thank you and so used to an. elite.
