tonight. no after tricky 1st game, the germans looked strong in a win over defending euro champions, portugal. now the team has to finish the job to push through to the route to 16. and we will take a look at what germany need to advance shortly. but 1st here's more on you ations decision to refuse munich rainbow request because of what it calls its political context. pictures of the leon serena from january to town in rainbow colors in memory of the gay men and women killed in the holocaust. this week munich mare wrote a letter to you wafer, asking to use the same color scheme as a statement against homophobia and transfer via when hungary comes to play germany . but you said it was declining the request because it would be a political message to protest. a new hung gary in law, the rights groups have described as anti l. g. b t discrimination. the decision has provoked outrage him munich, defend us, the shade his shameful, the due

a for forbids us here in munich and from sending a signal 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 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 hand up for equality. they claim that you had 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, let's get more on this story. we are joined here in the studio by d. w as cress,

harrington, d, w. sports cress, i mean a big backlash now against us. what's the latest in the controversy? well, you know, on one side, the european commission president has called hungry legislation that basically restricts young people's access to information about lesbian, gay, transgender, and bisexual issues. a shame and the commission plan to write a letter to the hungarian authorities. you know, over the legal concerns of the matter, that's one side in the sporting world. now a lot of despite, you know, the decision that the answer rena will not be illuminated in rape colors. several stadiums across germany have announced that they will do that. earlier in the year . we can see these images from the olympic stadium in berlin that was done. but berlin, frankfurt both burg, a number of cities will be doing that just to show that this is a human rights issue. it's issue of tolerance and chances are a lot of football players present and past have been part of this community. so i think it's very important to show solidarity in the city. really interesting

because i mean, some people are saying human rights issues about inclusivity. you wait for, for it's part says it's about politics actually, and the politics and sports don't mix. so tell us a little bit more about, you know, that the side. oh yeah. any more that politics and sports, that argument, you know, has been held by many in the past and still presently. but that marriage between sports and politics started years back. you can go back to the 1968, a wimpy at the podium, black salute of power to basically show support of the civil rights issue in the african american community. fast forward to a few years back in american profession football or by the name of carbon cap, predict, decided to take it needs well that taking the movement done to shine light on issues with police brutality and so forth with the african american community. well, that sparked interest across the ocean team here in berlin, taking me in that that basically continues to bring attention. and i think this is

a similar situation in terms of the rainbow elimination. the germany national team coach yogi love said that he wished he would have seen it. he believes these values are very important. and the recently recall defender ma hummel's had similar sentiment. let's hear what he say. club is about i believe anytime we discuss these issues in public and social, it's a success for so does justice. and i believe it's long overdue for this is just that homosexuality and tyler is no longer treated as a big deal. and instead of as seen as a normal part of sport, mangles or tim, i saw that she was anglo like i'm some does that i believe that even small gestures and signs are step in the right direction, planet size, and these are they strong among should the need to go stone with and yet amid this atmosphere we have to say that there's going to be some action on the pitch. of course tonight the course to listen on. what's happening there?

well, you know, he spoke about a small side or image. my time was did one thing, they're doing their distributing 10000 rainbow flags. so there will be some support of that, you know, in terms of the people attending, as far as the action on the pitch, germany, you know, guarantee their passage to the knockout stage. they need to win, pick up all 3 points. play like they did, it gives portable hungry, obviously has not been an easy opponent for some teams. they managed to pull off a point against france. so we really need to see germany have that same level of intensity. they were off than they were on. they need to stay on and they have to try to give yogi love a good farewell. i'm sure a lot of players are looking to see him off, you know, as a winning manager, you know, or successful when at that, what concert i have thomas mueller will not be in the starting lineup. according to latest reports. he's very key. hopefully he is in that game because i've been germany needs him, but i think they do have this fight advantage of all eyes will be on munich or so many reasons. many reasons chris harrington. d. w for thanks so much. thank you.

when our world powers are gathering and berlin for a new push to secure a lasting p seal in libya, in these talks, which are led by germany and the united states, leaders will be discussing their pledges to withdraw foreign fighters from the north african country. they also want to insure the war and torn state stays on track toward december general elections. libya has been unstable since they nato backed uprising top a long time leader mancha duffy in 2011. oil rich country was been divided between a you want supporting government to the capital and rival authorities based in the countries east before a transitional government took power earlier this year. german foreign minister, hypo mass, said that many challenges still lie ahead in the pursuit for a staple. libya. melinda, this is the man mall marg. adolphe spiritual rain, kept libya together, for,

for she is in 2011. protest against his rule quickly grew into a country wide rebellion. in september 2011, gadhafi was captured and killed by militia group. the country soon fell into chaos . farmed groups that had been active against the regime, refused to disband, and regional rivalries grew election 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 record and tripoli was recognized by many western countries, lead you as a sub, did have little power over much of the country. the rival government into brook in the east was allied with a faction called libyan national army, led by strong men sunday for the 2 sides and attended multiple piece

conferences and europe and continued to fight. meanwhile, people smugglers took advantage of the lawlessness to use libya as a trans route, bringing migrants and refugees to libby as mediterranean coast. the european union cut deals with libyan forces to try and keep margaret back, leaving hundreds of thousands stranded in the country. in january 2020, the 2 warring science came to berlin, along with an array of international leaders to try to come to an agreement and foreign involvement with the sovereign. finally, in october 2020, the warring sides agreed to receive fire in all areas of libya. the un resolution help stabilize the conflict by making the boat in agreement legally binding for its members on the international level. all and all this lead to the formation of an interim gina t government that set to stay in place until the elections planned and december of

this year. and for more on that, let's bring in now what are a keys, the better he is, a member of the german parliament's foreign affairs committee. welcome to you and thank you so much for joining us. i'd just like to begin by asking you about what we heard about there in that piece. one of the goals being to secure elections in december. how realistic are you seeing that given the complications on the ground right now? thank you very much. indeed, we need to be very saba, whether the election might take place or not. it's not clear so far because they are really different interests. however, it is so important that the german government is continuing its process of the berlin talks. and that means that we now bind in the new transistor transitional government of libya, which is taking part for his time, and several very important. foreign ministers are present, like foreign minister,

lincoln, the foreign minister of libya, but also from some european states and others. so i believe that there is a good sign to the libyan population. and 2nd, we need to press those countries who offer mercenaries military mercenaries. to libya, we need to keep the predator and try to build up functioning, state ruptures. a guaranteeing security, if this will be the case that elections might take place. i'd like to ask you a little bit more about those foreign fighters that you just mentioned there. because the un warned recently that progress has installed, that, that is actually a prerequisite. also for elections, the removal of those foreign fighters from the country and 20000 of them are in the country. we understand by recent estimates supported by russia, turkey and others. how likely do you see a meaningful agreement to make progress on that front?

while the german government is holding back round talks with those countries who are supporting foreign fighters. but 2nd, we could also find an arrangement where these mercenaries become part of the security structure controlled by united nations. for example. as long as the land owned security structures are not functioning. second, i believe that on the long term, we need the presence of international engagement. for example, of the european union or of the early african union. i believe we should really engage the community. those of the for communion, the take over responsibility. and this could be supported by the union, under the umbrella united nations. this would be a way out which will guarantee security on the one side, but also needs acceptance by the new population. and if the african union is owning

the process, this would be really a good progress. ok, so that that would be one potential approach there. in the meantime, i'd like to ask you about civilians and all of this. because the u. n is estimating some 1300000 people are in need of humanitarian assistance in the, in the country to what extent is improving the situation for the living people themselves. also on the agenda right now, the libyan population is really under pressure. but on the other side, we have a split off the national bank. we have a split of the national tro system. but on the other side, the money is guaranteed. so there is a lot of burns inside the country, which is also distributed to the families. nevertheless, we have a strong need for engagement also of the united nations regarding the refugees,

the migrants who ask sometimes as hostages in prisons or in the kind of camps. and we need an international control and access for the united nations or so. do you feel union could take over responsibility? so the ruby in population is not the problem. it's the migrant, it's the was for unemployment, unemployed migrants. and it's the question how to take care of those who are exploited by traffic by those who are trafficking the people are accused of as i thank you so much for joining us against this backdrop of world powers gathering in berlin for a new push to secure a lesson in libya, as we mentioned, you're a member of the german parliament foreign affairs committee. thanks for your time. you're watching t w need still to come on the program. the an arctic is losing the fight against climate change. we will find out how close it is to reaching

a point that cannot be reversed. ah, and that's coming up in just a few minutes. but 1st, the top united nations on boy and afghan stan has urged to the international community to do everything he can to restart talks between the afghan government and the taliban. she warns the illness 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. in the quiet before the storm here in the city, 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 of afghan, a stand. $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. once foreign forces are fully withdrawn. us president joe biden's mid april announcement that all international troops will be withdrawn by september. same lines calls a seismic tremor through africa, 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. lion 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 in cobbled in may. she warned, increased conflict meant greater in security for many other countries, both in the region and elsewhere. and let's turn to the environment now because scientists are meeting in paris to discuss protection of the antarctic. on the 60 account of our 3 of a treaty that has 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 antarctic is and i seen region that whole 70 percent of the planets, fresh water, but it is losing the fight against climate change, its place or is melting and it's i sheets edging closer to collapse as raising global sea levels and making floods worse and cities far away, including new york and shanghai. let's get more on this. we are

joined now by d. w, environment reporter agit. no, ron, john. i mean, why should be all care about this even if you're not living, you know, close to this particular area. right, so i'm talk to is an enormous continent, is twice the size of australia holds most of the stuff as fresh water in the entire world. and the thing is, it's also warming much faster than the global average. now this is a big problem because even in the next few decades, very by 2050 sea levels will already have risen sale high. and that sort of coast of land that you strike once a century will be hitting many cities across the board every single year. so that scale that, that transformation in terms of how we experience floods, thing that used to be one off. so once in a lifetime event will now be our daily lives that's usually connected to all this ice that's melting. and how fast are we sort of heading toward

a point of no return? would you say? so scientists are unsure about the, on a, on a physical level. so we know that by binding fields, we're increasing temperatures and they increase temperatures. i'm melting the ice, but it's a bit more complex because as i start to melt set dips into the water and this warm water is then also much hotter and speed up, the process that will struck my place is collapsing. now a big study last month found that it's global temperatures right by about 3 degrees celsius then and we miss, i talk to keep it well they 2 degrees celsius than the antarctic could experience an abrupt jump in the pace of iceland. and this is something they say would shrink, wrap it an unstoppable rise and feel it was something we wouldn't be able to come back from. wow. and it's really incredible and you think especially that this is now the 60th anniversary of the antarctic treaty system coming into effect. this was supposed to protect the ecosystem. why hasn't it been able to?

exactly, so i mean, the challenge of the, the world faced and kind of the 50 and 60, but very different. what we're seeing now, climate change was already an issue, but we didn't really understand well and what the treaty very successfully did from the scientist and research with respect to is that it's protected. the area from mining it's protected from drilling for oil and thing. this is a very different to what we're seeing in the arctic north. and it also stopped different dumping nuclear waste there for instance, or testing atom, but testing bombs there. that's all been very successful, but it's almost the limitation that the treaty doesn't really consider properly the climate change. and that's something that comes across the wild have the power to change how, what would be done. the simple answer is stop bending, fossil fuels, and to do say far faster than government the currently willing to do. and this is very clear from the science. there's also about things that can be done as well. and in case of the top to protect it, some conservation groups are calling protections on fishing text areas,

biodiversity, but the core element is still to stop burning coal oil and gas t w, environment reporter object run don filling us. and thank you so much while his allegations have been shaking turkish politics set out, pick ours is convicted, is a convicted, organized crime boss who is now living in exile into by he has been dishing the dirt on members of rach, of type air to wants ruling party and in recent weeks he has published a series of tele videos that have captivated the nation and turned him into an unlikely social media phenomena. this fugitive more false has become a youtube sensation and turkey. his videos make damaging claims about top turkish politicians. well, let me tell you, you will be defeated by a camera and tripod. i swear you will be defeated. indian and that's
