2:02 pm
germans football clubs will display rainbow dollars on their stadiums during the game. now the bill passed and hungry last week if it bam, sharing of information on homosexuality or transgender as them with children funder line said that is incompatible with the values of the you know, the hungarian bill is a shame and ivan, instructor, to my responsible commissioners, to write a letter to the guy in authorities concerning or expressing our legal concerns before the bill and just into forth. 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. this is human and for the latest i am joined now by our brussels correspondent barbara barbara ursula, underlying tough words for the hungarian government that she had there. where was
2:03 pm
this last week when the bill passed? she had relatively quickly send sarah to me to and saying, we don't like the law. we think it's against european values. but obviously as she sort of goes with the flow also from the line sees how strong international reactions are now. how strong the direction to the decision of we saw it was regard to munich is and she's off course 13 of the europe minutes is yesterday put out a very strongly worded letter saying that we condemn this in the strongest possible words. and this can simply not stand up. so she understood that of course, this means more than just another little infringement by hungary scraping away at your genes democracy. but this is another real, real sort of knock against you, your appeal,
2:04 pm
solidarity and values. and that she really has to take action and take this to court. this is eventually what will happen. what about the law is so controversial? barbara is the controversial thing. it doesn't really come show itself so quickly because you look at it, it just says that if there is no l g b t q content a content to be distributed to youngsters. that means to young people under 18. and the gary and government argues that this is just all about the right of parents to determine the sexual education of the children. but looking more closely at and what it means is you could never again show a gay or lesbian happy couple. in the tv series or think of advertising, so the consequences would be quite far reaching and also and is important in the same regulation, p to files are mentioned. so l g, b,
2:05 pm
t q people are sort of tainted by linguistic proximity. and that is something that, in brussels, everybody more or less, no, says, is absolutely not possible, can stand up. it is against european values. it is discriminatory. that's the use position. but the bottom line, barbara, is that this is not the 1st time on gary and prime minister, victor, oregon, and his government have rough ruffled brussels feathers, so to speak. so far they've not been able to have him have bay. so i mean, what ammunition do they really have in their arsenal? that is the big problem. sorry, they don't really, really have weapons against somebody who seems to be b. c. judging. really like in an open warfare in europe and it's contracts and values and agreements. and it's basically it's the democracy really because victor keeps on provoking and he sort of turns to school week after week after week. i
2:06 pm
haven't counted the number of infringement procedures that is already up and running again hungry. the amount of verdict that the european court has spoken against hungary and in the end there is really not much to be done because european contracts don't have a throw out clause. they don't have the don't give the legal leverage to sort of eliminate and kick out the country from the union. and therefore they just still have to do better with the carbon. everybody says says, says if you sort of hit him at the money, if you turn his money off, then you can get his attention and then he might do something to change this. but we are not at that point yet. it is very difficult, legally, again hungry, of course, one of the biggest beneficiaries of those funds. barbara, available with a view from from brussels. thank you so much, barbara. and now here is

2:17 pm
a german to find magic that they displayed against their title holders. portugal in the last match back to europe now and concern is growing for at least 150000 europeans living in the u. k. and tens of thousands of britons residing in the you who are on the verge of being classed as undocumented migrants in another post brag that fall out. they are expected to lose their citizens rights, including to work, study and rent a property, or some could even face importation. because they haven't applied for post president residency scheme in the countries where they are living. a number of those schemes are closing. next week. you'll get more on that. you're joined here in the studio by dw alex forest whiting. i was, i thought that you know, the citizens right issues were supposed to be resolved. what broadly they have been resolved, but of course, every country has its own immigration bulls, and some countries such as the u. k,
2:18 pm
and france have very strict tough rules. so it was agreed following breakfast that europeans living in the u. k. m. britain, living in countries across the e. u would be given the right to remain post breakfast as long as they registered in time. but that cut off, as you've just said, for many countries is coming up next week. now there were several 1000000 europeans living in the u. k, and many of them have apply for so called settled status. but there were still 400000 out standing cases. a more worryingly 150000 people who for whatever reason have not applied. and that means that they could well lose these very important rights. and it is concerning campaign groups. how about berlin? be able to rent, they wouldn't be able to access health care. they wouldn't be able to open the bank accounts, start a new job. they are even at risk of deportation. we have an absolute catastrophe in
2:19 pm
the making. that's a really sharp warning there. and how about britons who are living in the you? well, again, it does depend where they're living in the you and we take france, which is very similar to the u. k. with it or coney and roles. and there are concerns that many people, many britons would have been living in france, the decades complete, illegally, perhaps married to french. people with french families have absolutely no idea that they need to register. have perhaps not done that and will have no idea that they're about to lose their rights. and again, that's concerning campaign group such as british in europe, and they bring governments across the e. u for not communicating this better. to go out and find these people, the phone rouble, who have absolutely no idea what's about, happened to them, and you have to do what you can learn litigation on the member states. not just we came to make sure that people know what they right. so i'm going to move those
2:20 pm
rights unless they take an action that what so what does happen next? well, these campaign groups are pleading with governments to be more lenient, and the netherlands has already decided that they will extend this residency scheme until the end of the year, particularly in the light of coven 19. and just today, the british government has said that they are going to start issuing 28 day notice is to remind people that they have to apply for a settled status for that. because those people, a few more weeks from so far, we've heard nothing back from the government there at all. but it just shows that the many, many people that live the life that they've been living for decades could well be about to be turned upside down. if they do not register for these residents, it's shocking to see that so many people appear to be unaware actually that the deadline is now approaching alex for sliding fillings and, and contributing this. and that awareness,
2:21 pm
hopefully. thank you. well, as you heard earlier, germany will play hungary in group f in the euro tournament. after a tricky 1st match, the german looked a strong in a win over defending euro champions, portugal. now the team has to finish the job to push through to the route, the 16 quiet 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 buffalo, the players are aware of the countries euros. excitement can be a book up months and i don't just go with them. we don't hear about much in our camp, but we had a feeling and we hear it from friends to that there's a certain euphoria throughout the country. of course that makes us really proud and happy. after the difficult year and a half that the country has been through and it's nice to have 82000000 want to be germany coaches again, instead of 82000000 verola just so i'm not too familiar with people on the one actual germany coach had
2:22 pm
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 solution on this will be fits because he's a very important player for us. well, obviously on confidence stepping into that role, i'm used to that position of unified so despite injury worries, the mood among the team remains good. the love of football has returned after a difficult spell. and you are, he seems to have found the right balance in his team. so 40, when like in the last game makes you strongest, and we are doubting ourselves, even if we did lose to the world champion. most of them are for,
2:23 pm
but we also knew there was certain things that we could do better next time around my out. germany have found for me just in time. now they have to prove they can keep it going. and finally, now his allegations have been shaking turkish politics. say, the peck are a convicted, organized crime boss. now living in exile into by has been dishing the dirt on members of president wretched type are the ones willing party. in recent weeks, he has published a series of tell all the videos that have captivated the nation and turned him into an unlikely social media phenomena. the fugitive, moore has become a youtube sensation and perky his videos. make damaging claims about top turkish politicians. well, the telephone, you will be defeated by a camera and tripod. i swear you will be defeated. he said that's peg delegations,

2:38 pm
great green wall and explain its purpose because a lot of persuasion and resources are still needed. if the 100000000 hector's grad greenwood project is to be completed by 2030 us planned one. and it's really an ambitious project with a lofty goal to succeed. each would take people who believe in the vision and all actively committed to restoring vessel hail. this is right, crease and high. the ill ali is one of those people. we caught a glimpse of him in that last report. he rapidly took over the head of the senegalese, great greenville project, a wonderful colleague, the host of the french edition of africa. bumble fi recently met with you for an interview. the i've been working almost a year ago, you were appointed synagogue director of the pan african initiative,
2:39 pm
the great green wall for what was your initial reaction when you realized that you are responsible for this reforestation project. for the 1st year, rather under the right, that's my yet my 1st reaction was the thank god i can play trees. suddenly i was the head of a reforestation project for months i to i've always been interested in planting trees here. we know how to cut the trees down, but we don't plant them into the soil here as being damaged by the sun's extreme heat. it's a very difficult climate. it's $45.00 degrees even in the shade. and there's no shade to weaken managed by encouraging people to help out with our plans by getting them interested in planting trees. that will be useful to them. killer song. listen, the guy who has played a key role in this initiative. your battle, if the numbers are accurate, more than 10000000 trees were planted here. how exactly does one plant trees in the
2:40 pm
desert? it only giving us that we can't get on? well, the majority of those 10000000 trees have since di, unsurprising, since there's no water in this region. i mean, we have to be honest, we have to find trees that can survive unless climate like the deep palm, for example, we want to create a wasting. and bring in water that way the entire population, including women and young people can continue to farm generally and plant vegetables as of now that also comes from the capital dot com that this oasis should not only contribute to an improved quality of life. it should also expend eco tourism, after all upon groves are always beautiful. last but not least, we want to boost the incomes of people in the community by creating green jobs. unplug it, out, or push. some critics accused the project of not being forward looking enough other
2:41 pm
say it's ineffective. what's your response to these criticisms as the last surprise? like i think the greek green wall project isn't confined by international structures and you get the financial backing for the project. but in the end, you conduct studies, hold seminars, blah blah, blah, blah blah, missing that, but the money doesn't reach the places where it's most needed. that must change. these people have to take responsibility for what's happening here. i want to get it up. and you said the roof was the initiative is based on an agreement that includes $21.00 african countries in which the challenges must view as it's director and cynical overcome. if this partnership is to be successful with the gets a problem that we should look at best practices in individual countries and support people who are already doing good things without our help. because when we support them and things will go more quickly and our efforts are more likely to succeed in the well around. our goal is to build
2:42 pm
a community with electricity and solar energy, as well as infrastructure that includes enough water for the plants there. for the free state of pushing trash bins at the village entrance, we want to see far as 10 fruit trees, the green network will expand gradually into a sustainable economy doesn't equal to me. the mission of the great green wall is a much bigger, but no less noble call on it. good, the company? no. i valley. ida, thanks for talking to but not only in our regions like this, the hill where the trees are suffering in germany to forest a bit. he by the rising temperatures, long periods of drought and wild fires. so understanding how best to help for us to cover and regenerate is more important than as a group of scientists in the eastern part of the country is not trying
