a plan on the table and we hear that the talks are almost at the finishing line about having is several year long sort of kept to these subsidies that then will have to be paid equally, could only be paid equally on both sides. now, a lot of terrors have been rising out of this battle and the french vineyards, for instance, as people who grow wine the front, they going to heave a sigh of relief if those taverns will be lifted. and this agreement can be made to date. barbara hazel in brussels. thank you. here are some other stories making news. a bipartisan group of congressional leaders in washington has held a moment of silence on the steps of the us capital to remember the estimated 600000 live the last in the us to the corona virus pandemic. on monday, president biden acknowledged the milestone and urged more americans to be vaccinated. students who hon, have attended

always repeat that remark in the hands of k j b, he's hostage and we, we must do all possible to release him. what do you think the intention of parading him in front of the press? perhaps they are trying to show they tried to destroy the hero because of mom became the hero. for many younger sions, for many people around the world, the young journalist fighting for truths, showing better sions, the atrocities of the regime. and when they took him to the stage, recorded this interrogation interview, they wanted to show that he is traitor. here they wanted to present him as the someone who stop stop believing. he's his beliefs and who started to leak and sneak on their own. his colleagues, i think this tactics will not work. i think people will still believe and will be still fighting for a man. and definitely it will not stop the west, the,

you and the us from strong responses. what do you think though the, the future holds for him? because, you know, when, when, when this playing was redirected, we know to many others on the plane. heard him saying, you can't do this, they will kill me there. what do you think that he is going through right now on a daily basis and what he could be facing in the future? ah, it's hard to imagine what's happening to him right now and what was happening to him last 2 weeks. he was probably tortured. he was psychologically intimidated the right now he agreed to collaborate and he is fight and he's struggling for his life for his health, for his girlfriend, sophia, who's going to be hands as well. so we should judge him here and we should not discuss the content. he seen because everything he's saying right now, this is not his words. these are words written by k j b for him. i

hope we will manage somehow to put pressure on the resume by sanctions, by protests, in order to release that mom and all other 470 political prisoners. i just want to ask you briefly because you mentioned this earlier, the international response. we know that ticket sky has, has been pretty critical up and we have to say calling for, for more sanctions, more pressure on, on, on delivery. what would you like to see? sanctions on a judge is prosecutor's pro, bug and these to lie in every day about building some people, but also sanctions on a 3 economical sector, petrochemical. so would, and feel of this are sectors controlled by lucre, shameka people. and we want, if we want to stop the violence, we want to release prisoners. the response from the west must be strong and must be brave and must include economical incentives as well. ok, so the broadening the range there of the measures that are being taken. this is

what you're calling for. we thank you so much. front of the ciocca advisor to the belly, mercy and opposition meters fit. lot of take enough sky thousands of activists have protested in budapest against proposed legislation that would ban any content portraying or promoting homosexuality or sex reassignment surgery. it is expected to be approved by the hungarian parliament on tuesday. it is the latest attempt by prime minister victor or bombs conservative government to restrict l g. b t q writes on telephone shows support for l g b t, right outside 100 parliament. whether such public displays will remain legal is now in the hands of lawmakers. a new law expected to be approved on tuesday would ban content deemed to promote homosexuality to children, including discussions of eligibility issues and gender diversity in schools. it's

part of a group of bills that proponents save aimed at protecting children, including a law that strictly penalize is pedophilia. campaign is see it as a cynical attempt to link to sexuality with sexual deviant, equating sexual and gender diversity with peter celia strikes that the very core of the human dignity and humility of l. g. b t. people in hungary and poses a real risk of putting them and their safety and well being in danger. last year, the prime minister, victor, all of them took aim at a children's book. it featured gender, diverse characters, saying it had crossed a red line. others on the far right, labeled at times, sexual propaganda under the proposed law, such books as well as investments depicting same sex relationships would be banned entirely. when a did make marriage mad, children have a right to know the world they live in. they have

a right to know what social reality is, my dear fashion on the low shags of a, passionate about it. and now in hungary, social realities that lesbian, bisexual and transgender people. and part of the role of education is to make children fully aware of us, but the hungary is right. when government has cracked down on l. g. b t writes, since it varies to power in 2010 redefining marriage to exclude gay couples, banning them from adopting children and introducing a ban on legally changing ones, gender. the o g b, t, community and their allies. see this new raft of legislation is just the next step in an erosion of them, right. the chief prosecutor of the international criminal court is seeking to open an investigation into the philippine governments war on drugs. president rodrigo, to pear case regime has killed at least 6000 suspected drug dealers. the claims

this could amount to crimes against humanity. the philippines is not a member of the icy, and it says that he will not cooperate with the investigation. calling it politically motivated. let's get more, we are joined by carlos candy. he is a senior philippines researcher at the human rights watch group, and he drives us from manila. welcome to you, carlos, and thank you so much for being on the program. talk with us a little bit more about the war on drugs into territories, philippines. no one started in 2016 when done thousands and thousands across the philippines and no one single human rights catastrophe this country. and so, you know, hundreds, thousands of stuff been suffering from the back of the drug children didn't take

their lives and so used today. are you last night about requesting an investigation into this? getting the welcome use for menu of the drug war. and so there's a lot of that i'll look into to how high can that hope possibly be the car list. let me ask you because you know, as we've heard to tear tay that he couldn't care less about the course investigation. he's also so that he will not cooperate. so realistically speaking, how far can the icpc get under those conditions? he think to hope you can get as high as possible to 13 back in the request binding prosecutor fine. before i re trial chamber, it was that he made a connection between public officials drug show us the government officials who

enforce the warrant drugs to a connection to the president himself. so i think the investigators are going to a pretty high on this one. now, whether detective will operate with investigators at this point actually does not matter a lot, a lot of him because he had the same thing that you end up getting. and he has pretty much taken at ports to try to debate accountability. but that does not stop you from conducting a preliminary examination, and now he does not stop exposed to request a form of investigation. where does the public said on all of this? i'm just curious because you know g tear t a. he always defends his crackdown claim that he's only doing what the people want him to do large degree of support in

the popular drug or even talk to people. the support has been very, very well, but about supporting it. so i think he's taking it counting very much on public support, but either by e really comments the process hopefully you got 3 perspective large to we're just we're really of course the government and continuing feeling in the philippines. really. why? because the killings are still happening or not on a regular basis. and so i think the prosecutor will help convince some segment of the philippines ought to be to take its course

and it could amount to crimes against humanity. as the i c c attempts to get underway with this investigation, carlos candy senior philippines researcher and human rights watch. thank you so much. in the on mar, the trial of deposed leader on songs to t got underway on monday, 4 months after she was out from power in the military coup. she uses a long list of charges including breaking cove restrictions and illegal possession of walkie talkies. her lawyers and rights groups dismiss the charges as bogus. they say it's the military's attempt to submit power. this photo of unsung suit she attending a hearing in may is the only known image of her since the military coup. even her legal team has very limited access to her. this 1st trial is about whether the 75 year old violated social distancing rules and illegally imported to walkie talkies . to be to cut on sounds good, help me and then she has

a toothache but still looks as fresh as ever since i'm on the former. do fact your head of government will pay more serious charges in later trials. she's being accused of a legit incitement to sedition and corruption. i think it's a parody of the legal process. i think most of the charges against door intensity and against a lot of the other political prisoners, more than 4000 is basically justification for an illegal q data. and most of them shouldn't be taken seriously. this is, this is pure, repressive theater. that's all over the years. we're back on the streets of don gong on monday, calling for democracy since february, thousands have been arrested and will, over 800 killed. but the civil disobedience continues more than 4 months after the crew. most of the country appears to be standing by on sons who t you're watching

d w news still to come on the program germany years upgrade, much anticipated show down with france in the euro tournament. will it be the do over that? the country is hoping for the 1st for years the german government has wanted to curb, what it sees as a strong foreign influence on its muslim community. most must, here are foreign funded. the majority of moms are educated outside of germany in turkey. of the city of austin brock is opening the 1st islamic college to educate local a moms. some muslims see the initiative as an intrusion of the state, while others believe it will help with islamic learning. he w went for a visit to the new controversial program and that city knows the koran. well, he's been studying its lessons and verses for years in arabic, with the german translator. as one of these lemme colleges. first students,

he felt lucky to have the chance to take classes entirely in german other the mom often don't have missed the thing because of and i was excited about the mom training. and the fact that this is happening in germany in germ that we can have moms who made in germany is great. it means that young people who grew up can learn something from the european perspective, and then apply that to their walk as in moms and my mom and so on. my share. and that cheating already gives lessons on the koran in his community in german. although that makes him unusual. in most mosques in germany, teaching, preaching and praying, takes place and turkish arabic. the moms come from abroad, but they also get much of that financing. but many muslim families have been in germany for generations. the younger ones prefer to speak and the cheating in

german go the field once and then when i believe that we're at a turning point in the history of muslims in germany. the need for more german language teaching is growing. when i go into schools, i find that more and more young people prefer to speak german and they talk about their religion as folks lumens the ultimate. you don't see in the 1st day of school in public and safety and his fellow students over, they have a full program. it's an unusual group. she and so nice women and men, all learning together and exchanging ideas about german religious history. the college aims to create more transparency and this lemon religious teaching. part of the financing comes from the german government. the college rejects the idea that it is restricting religious freedom for the learning how to discuss

a critical in the teaching content and the entire curriculum. what developed by colleagues and speakers from the islamic college and no one from any government agency. hesitant ever to see in these i was been in the house and the cheating has a positive impression overall helped off you have learned a lot today. many things that i feel i should have known what the college's course of study last 2 years. then he will be in the mountains on 2014 world cup champions. germany faced the 2018 champions, france with the euro on tuesday. not surprisingly, france is considered a solid favor to win the tournament. as for germany, few really know what to make of the squad mixed results since crashing out early in the last world cup. the germany

last appearance that a major tournament 3 years ago ended in tears for a nation. that's wonderful well cups and 3 european championships pay the hurts a lot. the early exits, the 2018 world cup in russia prompted some serious soul searching, especially when success was previously a given member, no matter why is it usually when you celebrate a lot of victories, that's normal. but it also means your appetite to satisfy. that's human. you lose your hunger, which means others are more driven and you're knocked off your pedestal guys because in the iron management you, me from soccer stores. despite the 2018 tobacco love with given time to turn things around, he began to rebuild his scores deciding to focus on youth. but the coaches, shopping and changing, hasn't had the desired effect. a 6 now humiliation at the hands of spain late last year showing this still work to be done. you may tell him we've got

tons of highly talented young footballers in germany, but everything has to fit together. and i'd say we're still in an experimental phase. father, for the euros experiments have been ditched in favor of the tried and tested thomas mueller has returned to the squad alongside another veteran match who move the can there experience guys, germany back to success? ah, i think showing that i definitely think germany have a chance to reach the semi finals and from there, anything's possible. the cliche goes to germany performed best at tournaments. the last major success that the 2014 world cup in brazil demonstrate his dash victory against the tournament favorites, france would go

a long way to bringing back the feel good factor in german football. you're watching the w news live from berlin. you're up to date for now. up next. it is close up. looking at the rush on lithium, the raw material of the future. all that more coming up with more of the website w dot com. thanks for watching the news . the news news. news, news . news
