hoping to keep the war torn country on track for elections, and sounding the alarm over a resurgent taliban in afghanistan. the un special envoy warned the islam as group is gaining ground as us and other foreign troops. poland ah hello, i'm terry martin. good to have you with us. showing football clubs are banding together to display rainbow colors during the countries match against hungry of the european championship. on wednesdays that through europe and footballs governing body wafer rejected host city music's plan to do the same. the issue was threatening to overshadow germany's preparations for their crucial group as much tonight. after a tricky 1st game, the germans look strong and a win over defending euro champions, portugal,

now the team has to finish the job to push through to the round of 16. will take a look at what germany needs to do to advance shortly. but 1st here's more on your wafers decision to refuse me an ex rainbow request because of what it calls its political context. pictures of the leon serena from january to 1000 rainbow colors in memory of the gay men and women killed in the holocaust. this week munich man wrote a letter to you wafer asking to use the same color scheme as a statement against homophobia and trans phobia. when hungary come to play germany, but you said it was declining the request because it would be a political message to protest, a new hungarian law. the rights groups have described as mc l, g, b, t discrimination. the decision has provoked outrage him munich, defend us, shade his shameful the due a for forbids us here in munich and from sending a signal for cosmopolitan as

a tolerance for respect and facility charity with the l g b t i q. community one, facilitate the head of the german parliament. sports committee has also weighed in, in an interview with d. w. she accused of having noble gold 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 o time my eyes wave really does not show ambition to hand up for equality. they claim that you have 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 d. w. sports cress. what's the latest in this controversy?

it seems there's been a lot, a lot of backlash against your wife. oh, yeah. well, the biggest backlash has been the actions we've seen through several stadiums here in germany that have decided to shy rainbow colors at their stadiums. you have 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 that clubs 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 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 and me, you could dated back to the 1960 lympics, you know,

but fast forward here. now there have been 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 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 word of support to say about the matter. and here they are. now let's take listen club as a by the, the, i believe anytime we discuss these issues in public and social money, it's a success for so does justice. and i believe it's long overdue that homosexuality tyler is no longer treated as a big deal. and instead of seen as a normal part of sport and scottish mangles as tim, i saw that she was going to look on some i believe that even small gestures and signs are step in the right direction. planet, citing the really strong among should the need to go with and ok, so that's the,

the rainbow part of this, which is getting a lot of attention, but we are still talking about sports, right. let's look at the game itself. the football, what did germany need to do tonight to move for? well, i think 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 the image dancing is leaving each other on 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. they're 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 are the german side. i think they'll get it done 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. see some of the other stories making headlines around the world today. indigenous protestors armed with bows and arrows clashed with police outside brazil, congress. the violence force, the suspension of a debate on a controversial land reform bill. campaigners say the bill will open protected reserves from mining dams and development least 2 protesters were hurt in the fighting. the 1st person to stand trial under hong kong knew national security law has pleaded not guilty to terrorism charges tongue in kit was arrested last year when he drove a motorcycle into police officers while carrying a protest lag. c united nations is set to war in irreversible damage. should global

man mar, gadhafi, who is brutal. rain kept libya together for 40 years. and 2011 protests against 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. so raj, 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 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 live in the 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 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 of this year of war now joined by the w. cheap international editor, richard walker. richard, another round of peace talks on libya. what's the focus of these talks now? well, 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. now if we look at that progress, we just saw that there is now a government 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 collections happening later this year. now there are 2 parts to this real and kind of what they want to do in

concrete terms today. first of all, try to make sure that those elections actually happen that none of the factions which 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 form forces which to that and as one big part of the conflict in libya in recent years, is that you've had all of these other countries waiting in becomes something of a proxy conflicts. 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, of the official army forces, but also large numbers of math and read on it. any number of payrolls involved in this conflict, 20000 or so foreign fighters said to be in libya at the moment 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 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? well, this is a combination of internal and external factors. there is a fear. so one or other of the factions that we saw described in the report just earlier could try to mess with the election date, say the know, 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 yet a legal basis to hold these 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 libya, geography, it's an obvious starting point for to try to migrate into the europe and union. the instability has been the real driver of that though in recent years, stable libya 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, extreme state will be here to show his support today. partly what we're seeing today is a message from germany in 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, his herbs, 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 for the exit by september, germany. the 2nd biggest presence in afghanistan will be withdrawing its units in the next week. it's the quiet before the storm here in the city of conduce ask can security forces on watch as the sound of small arms fire creeps closer, the taliban is steadily gaining territory, taking district after district situation and come. this is very bad. it's insecure . there are so many wounded people in hospital, us african envoy is sounding the alarm. more than 50 about the dentist and $370.00 districts have fallen since the beginning of may. most districts have been that

have been taken. surround provincial capitals suggesting that the taliban are positioning themselves to try and take these capitals. one foreign forces are fully withdrawn. us president jo biden's, mid april announcement at all international troops will be withdrawn by september. lyons calls a seismic trauma through afghan politics and society. the withdrawal decision was expected, but it speed with the majority of troops now already withdrawn, was not all actors have had to adjust to this new reality that is unfolding lie and said that adjustment has meant more suffering for the people of afghanistan, recounting a number of attacks including the killing of 100 young women students and cobbled in may. and she was the increased conflict meant greater in security 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 . we find out how close it is to reaching a point. it can't be reversed. first, look at a man who's allegations have been shaking turkish politics. so dr. pick out a convicted, organized crime boss. now, living in exile in dubai has been dishing the dirt on members of president raj up type out of one's ruling party. in reason weeks, he's published a series of telo videos that have captivated the nation and turned him into an unlikely social media phenomenon. this fugitive moore has become a youtube sensation in turkey. his videos make damaging claims about top turkish politicians. well, the telephone, you will be defeated by a camera and

a tripod. i swear you will be defeated. he said that's pay care delegations, range from drug trafficking and rape to murder and arm stealing his videos have been viewed over $100000000.00 times. he john love, i wait with such excitement every week for a new episode. just like with my favorite tv shows, we get up and watch the videos at breakfast years. and many of his claims are already known. but when he talks and provides evidence, people wake, people want to see the truth, other comments, and that's almost like a tv drama. and all of us are waiting for the season finale. it said that the pet care is the well known turkish underworld figure. he's been in and out of prison for a string of crimes that spend 3 decades from extortion to running a criminal organization. pick a one fervently supported president, ad one's ruling coalition, but flat turkey and late 2019. she now lives in the united arab emirates. sit up

pretty little people, listen to him because the media here in turkey has been silenced and they can't report many factors. so people prefer to believe what a mafia leader says. that's very tragic doctor. pick up the main target has been interior minister to lemon law, whom he accuses of corruption and of betraying him. will you, if you will be taken to the highest court, you will be tried and punished. you have no chance. i will reveal everything i will destroy you step by step. i have the evidence, i will take you down. if you do not have any of those implicated by poke, i have rejected his accusations, runing a k p, and there i live. have also blocked parliamentary inquiries into the claims president ad one has weighed in personally dismissing pick as allegations as an attack on turkey along, you know,

they mean let's using this with god's help and support of the people. it will spoil this conspiracy. no one should doubt that we will disrupt it. this insidious plot was done to send in ship fish on the pickup promise to make add one the focus of future video. but his weekly revelations have stopped in his latest video. he says his life is at risk, couldn't the, i'm on a red leg, which means there's a high risk of me being assassinated. but i will keep my promise to you, god willing. we will have a lot of fun in the coming days. i will drive them all in same really, it is not for them to like, it's hard to predict what will happen, the fact that he told his viewers, don't worry, let it despite the risk of being killed because i will continue to reveal what i know means that he will not give up easily do so on the peca has not yet provided concrete evidence for his games the stories. but according to polls,

a majority of his viewers believed that there is at least some truth to his allegations, and many are eagerly waiting for the next episode of his mafia drama. 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 pipe against climate change. it's glacier or melting, and it's sheets edging closer to collapse. that's raising global sea levels and making floods worse and cities as far away as new york and shanghai. over more, we're joined now by the w environment reporter. just to run john. good to have you

are. so antarctica, the most remote continent on earth, it's cold and forbidding. tell us why any one should care what happens there. right, 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 is, it's warming 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 if a huge worry for global sea level than the flooding, how close is the and 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 argued,

but 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 is quite clear is that i mean, so well lead us pledge to limit warming to well below 2 degrees celsius century. and kind of current policy, put us more, attract the 3 degrees of warning. now that one degree difference doesn't sound like a lot, 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 chrysler, which were 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 promised to protect the antarctic? yes. and did a good job of doing so,

so the treaty is made the antarctic essentially the well biggest nature is so bad mining for mineral that stop people drilling for oil and gas. and if you 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 those kinds of collaborative s that not one sovereign country, raining over it. and yeah, i mean, surprisingly, a lot of scientists 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 as the effects of climate change. ok, as you're going to leave it there. thank you so much our, our environment report ad, ron john. 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 bundle last what looks like a grand adventure is actually a journey to nowhere. this train is not leaving the station, but instagram errors can still rack up their mikes by just stain, put on cambodia as royal railway. with when we come out to take pictures and have coffee, it helps reduce my stress. because during this pandemic, i stay home most of the time and there was locked down, so it's really stressful. train travel has largely ground to a halt in cambodia capital city due to corona virus lockouts. but when restrictions relax, gunam tens, new train. cafe is a favorite backdrop to come and strike

a pose. the sophie takers can then relax inside with an ice coffee and more screen time. after life under locked down, the cafe owner says customers just want an escape. even if the scenery stays the same. then got so may converted a passenger carriage and to the train cafe. we didn't make a lot of changes to it so that it's original look wouldn't disappear. because when guests come into the train cafe, they can have the same feeling like drinking while they're writing a train. during the long and for this case of adventure, you don't need a ticket. all you need is attitude. you're watching d. w. news coming to you live from berlin. don't forget you can get all the latest
