into force this bill clearly discriminates against people on the basis of their sexual orientation. and it goes against all the values, the fundamental values of the european union. and let's get more we are joined by barbara fazel who was standing by with a view from brussel. so barbara ursula underline having some tough words for hungary there. what should we make of this statement and especially the timing of it. he obviously realized that she now had to react a bit more strongly. she did react right after the bill was passed, but then she said of for said we will look into this, we will sort of look at the legal side of this. but now, as she realized that yesterday, at the meeting of the europe minister is off the block, a 13 of them. undersigned assigned a resolution that was really strongly worded, telling hungary that this was discriminatory. discriminatory and this was

absolutely against the spirit of the european union and to europe in law. she now felt also seeing, of course, the reactions in germany and elsewhere that she had to take a stronger stance. and so that's why we now see her opening. probably another infringement procedure against hungry and taking hungry once again to the european court. because those are the next steps. first letter was written as a will you take back the law then we expect budapest to say no, we won't. and then of course, all the whole procedure rolls down and hungry will against be in the stand. and again, obviously, because this law seems very openly discriminatory as sort of be indicted by the european court and the law. i mean, as, as we've been mentioning, highly controversial of course, just just remind our viewers why that is. so the law on the surface of it, and that's the way the hungarian government could. yesterday at the minister's

meeting here, the garrison minister explained to it. i mean, this is fake news. he said to us, john list. what you are saying here about this law. it doesn't mean anything other than protecting young people under the age of 18, from any sexual content that would be probably not good for their development. so what it really means that is prohibits the dispersion of any sort of content with regards to l g b t q, people, imagine a tv series. imagine sort of advertising that show gay couple for instance, in a loving relationship. all those things could be prohibited. plus in the same law, l, g, b, t, q, people and peter files are mentioned together. and that is very clearly sort of trying to change them by proximity. and so the openly, this law sort of really goes against the spirit of the european union values. barbara hazel and brussel. thank you. well,

world powers are gathering in berlin for a new push to secure a lasting peace and libya in the talks lead by germany and the u. s. leaders will be discussing their pledges to withdraw foreign fighters from the north african country. they also want to ensure the ward towards dave stays on track toward december general election, libya has been unstable. the needle backed uprising toppled long time dictator. mark adolphe in 2011. which century was then divided between the us supported supplements in the capital and rival authorities based in the country peace. before a transitional government took power. earlier this year, german foreign minister hika moss said that many challenges still lie ahead in the pursuit of a stable country. melinda, this is the man more mar, duffy, spiritual rain kept living together for 40 years. in 2011 protests against his rule

quickly grew into a country wide rebellion, and september 2011. gadhafi was captured and killed by militia group. the country soon fell into chaos. 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, led by for 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 hungry 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 my guns back, leaving hundreds of thousands of stranded in the country. in january 2020, the 2 warring sides came to berlin, along with an array of international leaders to try to come to an agreement and foreign involvement, also with the sovereign. finally, in october 2020, the warring sides agreed to cease fire in all areas of libya. a un resolution help stabilize the conflict by making the boat an agreement legally binding for its members on the international level. all and all this led 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 a 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, is 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 pressure and try to build up of functioning state ruptures. a guaranteeing security, if this will be the case, the ban 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 the fat is actually a prerequisite. also for elections, the removal of those foreign fighters from the country. some 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, and 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 on to 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 repair the african union. i believe we should really engage the community, those of the african union that you take over responsibility. and this could be supported by the european 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 on the pressure. but on the other side, we have a split off the national bank. we have a split of the national patrol system, but on the other side the money is guaranteed. so there is a lot of burn kept both 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 sometimes as hostages in prisons or in the kind

of camps. and we need an international control and access for the united nations. also, the 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 the care of those who are exploited by traffic, by those who are traffic in the people potter keys of us. 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. and now here's a look at some other stories making headlines. hong kong pro democracy newspaper, apple daily will seize publication on thursday after national security police arrested another employee of the paper. its closure has increased concerns about

arose of media, freedom and other right. in the chinese city in brazil, indigenous protesters armed with bows and arrows have clashed with police outside congress. the violence for the suspension of a debate on a controversial land reform bill. campaigners say that the bill will open, protecting reserves for mining dams and development lead to protesters were injured . new zealand has positive travel bubble with australia after a traveler from sidney visited, who was infected because 19 sidney is struggling with the like. in cases, as local authorities announced the ban on people leaving the city for non essential reason or the top united nations envoy in afghan, the san has urged the international community to do everything it can to restart talks between the afghan government and the taliban. she warned that the is on the 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. 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. once foreign courses are fully withdrawn. us president jo biden's, mid april announcement at 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 lyons set up the 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. and she warned increased conflict and greater insecurity for many other countries, both in the region and elsewhere. and turning to the environment.

now, scientists are meeting in paris to discuss protection of the arctic on the 60th anniversary 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 an icy region that hold 70 percent of the planets, fresh water. but it's losing the fight against climate change. it's glaciers on melting ice sheets, edging closer to collapse. that's raising global sea levels and making floods for some cities as far as new york and shanghai. and let's get more on this. we are joined 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 her as an enormous continent. it's 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 say by 22 sea levels will already have rhythm sale high. and that sort of coastal plant that you strike once a century will be hitting many cities across the world every single year. so that scale that, that transformation in terms of how we experience floods that used to be one 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 the point of no return? would you say scientists are unsure about the, on a, on a physical level. so we know that by binding gills, we're increasing temperatures and they increase temperatures melting the ice. but it's a bit more complex because as i start to melts at depth into the water and this warm water is then also much hotter and speed, the process will stop my place is collapsing. now a big study last month found that it's global temperatures right by about 3 degrees

celsius than and we must not target to keep it well, they 2 degrees celsius than the antarctic experience. an abrupt jump in the pace of iceland. and this is something they say would trigger rapid, an unstoppable rise, and feel that something wouldn't be able to come back from. wow. and it's really incredible and you think especially that this is how the 60th anniversary of the antarctic treaty system coming into effect. this was supposed to protect the ecosystem. why hasn't it enabled to? exactly so, i mean, the challenge is that the world faced and kind of the 50 and 60, very different what we're seeing now. climate change was ready an issue, but we didn't really understand that very well. and what the treaty very successfully did from the scientific research with respect to is that it's protected. the area from mining is protected from drilling for oil and thing visible very different to what we're seeing in the ticket north and also stopping

from dumping waste deference them, so testing out them, but testing bums. they're not been very successful, but it's almost the limitation that the treaty doesn't really consider properly affect the climate change. and that's something that comes across the well have the power to change how, what can be done. the simple answer is stop bending, fossil fuels and to do so far faster then government the currently willing to do. and this is very clear from the science that also the one thing that can be done as well. and in case of dam top to protect it, some conservation groups are calling protection from fishing, text areas, biodiversity, but the core element installed to stop burning coal, oil and gas, t w, environment reporter object around don filling us. and thank you so much. his allegations have been shaking turkish politics, setup picker, a convicted, organized crime boss. now living an exile in dubai has been dishing the dirt on members of president wretch of type air, the ones willing party 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, moore has become a youtube sensation in turkey. his videos make damaging claims about top turkish politicians. well, let me tell you will be defeated by a camera and tripod. i swear you will be defeated. he had to pay care delegations, range from drug trafficking and grape to murder and arm stealing. his videos have been viewed over 100000000 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 of the confusion. that's almost like a tv drama,

and all of us are waiting for the season. finale said that the pet care is the well known turkish under world 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, it's our little dinner people listen to him because the media here in turkey has been silent and they can't report many faculty. so people prefer to believe what a mafia leader says, just very tragic, i would pick up the main target has been interior minister solo whom he accuses of corruption and of betraying him. would you say 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 to the

very last the implicated by poke, i have rejected his accusations, runing a p, and there i live have also blocked parliamentary inquiries into the claims president ad one has weighed in personally dismissing pick has allegations as an attack on turkey along the them of a military machine, with god's help, the support of the people will spoil this conspiracy. no one should doubt that we will disrupt it. this insidious plot was done to send in ship is almost peggy promise to make ab one, the focus of future video. his weekly revelations have stopped in his latest video . he says his life is at risk. couldn't. i'm on a red land, which means there's a high risk of 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.

i'm not know, don't just 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 the food means that he will not give up easily jewish on the packer has not yet provided concrete evidence for his gang says stories, but according to polls, a majority of his viewers believe that there is at least some truth to his allegations and many are eagerly waiting for the next episode of his mafia drama. and as you heard earlier on the program, germany will play hungary in group after and after a tricky 1st match, the germans looked strong to wind over defending euro champions, portugal, now the team has to finish the job to push through to the round of 16 quiets dealing and completely separated from the rest of the world,

germany's training camp is the perfect place to focus on the next match. despite being in a corona bubble, both the players are aware of the country heroes excitement. and we can look up monday. i just met them, we don't hear about much in our camp, but we had a feeling and we hear from friends to that there's a certain euphoria throughout the country. of course, that makes us really proud and half a month off of a difficult year and a half that the country has been through. and it's nice to have an 82000000 want to be germany coaches again, instead of 82000000 verola just so i'm not familiar with people on the one actual germany coach has a few concerns to deal with after his strong performance against portugal, thomas miller, is suffering with a knee injury and may not be available for the game against hungary that could open up space in the starting 11. fully on correct sca

on this will be fits because he's a very important player for us. while i'm problems, as you put, obviously on confidence, stepping into that role, i'm used to that position of flight. so despite injury worries, the mood among the team remains good. the love of football has returned after a difficult spell. and you are in love seems to have found the right balance in his team to make it for you. when like in the last game makes you stronger, we are doubting ourselves, even if we did lose to the world champion money for. but we also knew there was certain things that we could do better next time around my germany have found form just in time. now they have to prove they can keep it going. and with that now you're up to date on dw news up next, it is made in germany looking at the latest consumer trends. always more on the website, d, w dot com, also on twitter, instagram, facebook ad,
