9:03 am
an interview with d. w. she accused of having noble goals on paper, but no intention of standing up for those values in practice. i think the city of munich really offered a great opportunity to price against discrimination over time. my eyes wave really does not show ambition to patch up for equality. they claim at you a for has suggested alternative dates for the rainbow colors in the later rounds of the tournament when hungary, who are lost in that group unlikely to be playing well, joining us for more on this story is chris harrington from the w. sports ques, what's the latest in this controversy? it seems there's been a lot, a lot of backlash against you wafer. yeah. well, the biggest backlash has been the actions we see through several stadiums here in germany that have decided to shine rainbow colors at their stadiums. you have
9:04 am
cologne, frankfurt, berlin wolf burg, osburg, all over germany. and you know, i think it's a way to show that it's more than a political decision, of course, that you a pre call. they're going to remain behind this organizational idea. but this is an opportunity to show that we're all one person, the human cognitive really speaks to intolerance and i think it's very good. it could have stepped up and just one thing there might not be allowed to have rainbow colors at leon serena, but they will be distributing $10000.00 rainbow flags. so inside the stadium, i think the rainbow will be very well represented. and i send the message, they want to send us a hungry. what about the players here? are they becoming more vocal on these issues? yeah, you know, just with politics and sports, i mean you could dated back to the 1960 lympics, you know, but fast forward here. now, there have been, you know, some players outspoken, the coach, national team coach yogi love one, you know, obviously the leadership position. he spoke out about it say that he would like to
9:05 am
see the stadium, you know, illuminated in these colors. you know, it does show the importance that we're all one and another player, his defender that he recalled on the team ma, hummel's also had some positive words of support to say about the matter. and here they are now was because globe is a by the, the, i believe, any time we discuss these issues in public and social and it's a success for so does justice. and i believe it's long overdue for this. is that homosexuality and title it is no longer treated as a big deal. but then instead of it seen as a normal part of sport, when men goes to most of the season gloves like i'm some i believe that even small gestures and signs are step in the right direction. planet, citing the the they don't among should the need to go still haven't ok, so that's the, the rainbow part of this, which is getting a lot of attention, but we are still talking about sports. let's look at the game itself. the football,
9:06 am
what did germany need to do tonight to move 3rd will be the ultimate goal is to give yogi love a good farewell and the way they do that is they advance in the only sure shot of im advancing is leaving it on their own merit their own performance, they need to pick up all 3 points that guarantees passage to the next round. but then with a hungry, you know, who's been very tough, a draw is a possibility. and even if germany were to lose the match, then they'd be dependent on the other fixture that's taking place in their group. but at the bottom of the day, you know, the bottom line is they're gonna have to perform like they did in their 2nd match. and not like their 1st match against france are going to have to have the intensity . all of their players are going to have to perform. big question mark is thomas mila. he was very instrumental in that when it gets portable. so hopefully he is active tonight. you know, but the tell us they're the german side. i think they'll get it done. you know, despite all of the build up into this match, germany hoping to carry that momentum through from the game against portugal, cross harrington from d. w. sports. great to have you. thank you. some of the other

news agency says deadly heat, waves could impact hundreds of millions of people, and starvation threatens another 80000000 people by 2050 and new zealand has pauses travel bubble with australia. after a traveler from sidney, visited, who was impacted with cobit 19 sidney, struggling with a spike in case numbers as local authorities. and now to ban on people leaving the city for non essential reasons. germany will try to broker a lasting peace in libya today when world powers gathered here in berlin. the aim is to remind world leaders of their pledges to withdraw foreign fighters. they also want to ensure the war torn north african countries stays on track towards its december. general elections and ultimately stability. this is the man mar, gadhafi, whose brutal reign kept libya together for 40 years. and 2011 protests against
9:09 am
his rule quickly grew into a country wide rebellion. in september 2011, gadhafi was captured and killed by a militia group. the country soon fell into chaos. armed groups that had been active against his regime refused to disband, and regional rivalries grew elections failed to bring the country together. and soon rival governments were set up in the western and eastern parts of the country . the general national accord in tripoli was recognized by western countries, led by fires sir rodge, but it had little power over much of the country. the rival government and tow brooke in the east was allied with affection called the libyan national army, led by strong man kelly for a half time. the 2 sides fought and attended multiple
9:10 am
piece conferences in europe and continued to fight. meanwhile, people smugglers took advantage of the lawlessness to use libya as a transit route, bringing migrants and refugees to levy as mediterranean coast. the european union cut deals with libyan forces to try to keep the migrants back, leaving hundreds of thousands stranded in the country. in january 2020, the 2 warring sides came to berlin with an array of international leaders to try to come to a peace agreement and foreign involvement. finally, in october 2020, the warring sides agreed to a cease fire in all areas of libya. this led to the formation of an interim unity government that is set to stay in place until the elections plant in december
9:11 am
of this year of more now joined by the w. cheap international editor, richard walker. richard another round of peace talks on libby up. what's the focus of these talks now? will terry, the overarching goal is to try to make sure that the progress that has been seen in recent months and that has been progress, doesn't derail in the months to come look at that progress. we just saw that there is now a government's national unity in place. there is now a sci fi in place. the economy is beginning to grow again, oil is beginning to be exported again in, in larger amounts. and also there is that goal of those selections happening later this year. now there are 2 parts to this real kind of what they want to do in concrete terms today is 1st of all, try to make sure that those elections actually happen that none of the factions we
9:12 am
still exist in libya, try to derail that process. maybe we can talk about that in just a moment, more detail than the 2nd issue is this issue of foreign forces which are there. and there's one big part of the conflict in libya in recent years, is that you've had all of these other countries waiting in to become something of a proxy conflict. so you've had russia in there, you've had turkey, and you've had the united arab emirates in there. you've had a mixture of official army forces, but also large numbers of mercenaries on any number of payrolls involved in this conflict. $20000.00 or so foreign fighters said to be in libya at the moment. now as part of the sci fi deal, they were meant to be pulled out. that hasn't happened yet. so getting that process to actually happen is a major focus of today's conference. ok in december, as you mentioned, libya supposed to hold national elections, they would be the 1st elections in 7 years. what needs to happen, richard to even make that possible?
9:13 am
well, this is a combination of internal and external factors. there is a fear the one or other of the factions that we saw described in the report just earlier could try to mess with the election date. say that, oh no. do we need a different process that we need to approach this differently and try and push elections back seeking their own vantage key to this is that there's not even get a legal basis to hold the election. so that is a high priority trying to get that legal underpinnings for an election into place and even that is a very difficult process to achieve. so you can expect a lot of support for that. and the other part is getting the foreign powers to really give an absolutely concrete commitment to getting those elections to happen . well, libya is a huge transit country for migrants and refugees headed to europe. i understand that they now make up a 10th of living as population. how important is that factor in the use efforts to help stabilize libya? it's absolutely crucial. i mean, if you look at libby as geography,
9:14 am
it's an obvious starting point for to try to migrate into the european union. the instability has been the real driver of that though in recent years. so a stable d. b, a could be a real game changer. there, but also from a european perspective, they want to show that they are in a position to take care of security issues in their backyard. tony blink in the us, secretary of state will be here to show his support today. partly what we're seeing today is a message from germany and from the europeans. more widely is that we are ready to take care of security in the region as part of the western security alliance. richard, thank you so much shar, cheap international editor, richard walker. now top united nations and boy in afghanistan has urged the international community to do everything it can to restart talks between the afghan government and the taliban. she warned. the islamist group is threatening the country's progress. after 20 years of western military presence. there the taliban are seizing more territory as us troops had

9:16 am
forces are fully withdrawn. us president joe biden's mid april announcement that all international troops will be withdrawn by september lines calls a seismic tremor through afghan politics and society. the withdrawal decision was expected, but its speed with the majority of troops now already withdrawn, was not all actors have had to adjust to this new reality that is unfolding lions set that's just meant has meant more suffering for the people of afghanistan. recounting a number of attacks, including the killing of 100 young women students in cobbled in may, she warned increased conflict meant greater insecurity for many other countries, both in the region and elsewhere. you're watching d. w. news still to come. the antarctic is losing the fight against climate change

9:21 am
the scientists are meeting in paris to discuss protection of the arctic on the 60th anniversary of a treaty that kept the south pole free from weapons waste and mining. it's one of the few areas of the planet untouched by human industry. the arctic is an icy region that holds 70 percent of the planet's fresh water, but it's losing the fight against climate change. it's glacier for melting, and it's sheets edging closer to collapse. that's raising level sea levels and making floods worse and cities as far away as new york and shanghai. over more, we're joined now by v w environment reporter. just to run john as a good to have you here. so an article, the most remote continent on earth, it's a cold and for bidding, tell us why anyone should care what happens there. right,
9:22 am
so this is a continent twice the size of australia and homes, pretty much 90 percent of the stuff that's fresh water on. and the thing and this woman much faster than the rest of the planet. and now what we find, or what scientists have made pretty clear that by 2050. so i mean by the time i've had my middle age should say, middle above us, sea levels will have all ready rhythm, so high, the type of coastal flood that used to be hitting once a century, maybe in the past will be striking every single year. so we're talking about such a large land mass full of ice and we find out that it's melting much faster than previously expected. so then it's a huge worry for global sea level than the flooding. how close is the at arctic to reaching a point that can't be reversed in terms of melting? so scientists on. absolutely sure. either way, some people have even argue that it's already hit one of the so called tipping points. others have said that there's, i mean, different ways that it could reach that over the next century or so. one thing that
9:23 am
is quite clear is that, i mean, well, lead of french to limit woman to well below 2 degrees celsius. the century. and kind of the current policy put us more, attract the 3 degrees of warning. now that one degree difference doesn't sound like a lot, but a study published in the journal nature just a few weeks ago, i found that labeled him to the right 3 degrees celsius. about pre industrial level, the lead to this abrupt jump in the pace and talk to guy last week for kind of me to this trigger, this rapid, an unstoppable sea level rise. that does not sound good. today is the 16th anniversary of the arctic treaty system coming into effect. that's why we're talking. didn't this treaty promise to protect the entire thing? yes. and it did a good job of doing so. so the treaty is made the antarctic, essentially the well biggest nature reserve. so bad mining for mineral that stop
9:24 am
people drilling for oil and gas. and you can compare this to the optic, the north pole, where as kind of the ice melts and all sorts of geopolitical tensions going on as people try and control it and control the results. and that's a free for all of their exact in comparison, antarctica is really something where people countries have agreed to leave it. so it's kind of the of the collaborative ethic, not one sovereign country writing over it. and yeah, i mean, a surprisingly scientist i spoke to about that even conservation groups were quite clear. they do think the treaty has been a success in protecting it. what it doesn't protect effect from climate change. ok as you're going to leave it there. thank you. so much our, our environment report ranger now the pandemic has made travel difficult, almost everywhere. and cambodia is no different report. borders rather have generally been closed and travel banned as cases surge in many parts of asia. but one transport company has found a way to feed travelers,
