the head of the european commission today called hungary new law. the critics say equates gays and lesbians with pet files. a shame the german chancellor said the legislation is wrong and not in line with her values. and what about the values of european football, or tonight in munich, germany and hungary faced off the euro? 2020, turn it lighting up the stadium in rainbow colors would have sent a signal against the hungarian law. and for l. g b t. right. but that did not happen. european football bosses said no to the rainbow. i'm brick, gulf in berlin. this is the day the news i think this little is wrong

very and bill is a shake. it compatible with my idea of politics and it goes against all the values, the fundamental values of the european union, the for me, if it's something i reject politically, i strongly believe in a european union where you are free to love. you want the also coming up. it happened exactly 5 years ago today. on june 23rd 2016 voters in the u. k said yes to leaving the european union. it was the day breaks. it began today my 5 years since this country. it's really the opinion that i take back control of issues that matter to the people of the united kingdom. but

to our viewers on p b. s. in the united states, and to all of you around the world, welcome. we begin the day with you in footballs. rainbow route tonight, germany and hungary clashed in the euro 2020 soccer tournament. the city of munich wanted to protest hunger reads new anti l g b t law by lighting up the alley, answer read it in the colors of the rainbow. but that did not happen. european football is governing body you way for rejected the request saying the political context has no place on the pitch. and that was the beginning of 24 hours of mixed messaging. earlier today you way for reacted to the backlash by not only changing its logo to the pride rainbow colors, but also issuing this statement. today you wave is proud to wear the colors of the rainbow. some people have interpreted you wafers decision to turn down meetings, request to eliminate the stadium as political. on the contrary, the request itself was political linked to the hungarian football teams presence in

the stadium for you wafer the rainbow is not a political symbol, but a sign of our firm commitment to a more diverse and inclusive society. hash tag equal gain or critics or calling you wipers, messaging skits of frantic and confusing and sharp contrast to the unimed. big us words of several politicians. european commission. president ursula from the lion today said hungary, new law is incompatible with you. values very and bill, it's a shame. and ivan structure 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 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. this is human. well, there was criticism from all corners of the european union today from ireland to sweden, to france, to the netherlands. here is white german chancellor, angular miracle said today. s, my 1st of all, i think this law is wrong and also not compatible with my idea of politics. if you allow homosexual, same sex partnerships but restrict education about elsewhere. and that also has to do with freedom of education and the like. so for me, i just something i reject politically is political up in that was the german chancellor speaking earlier today for more i enjoy now by p. r. power, the executive director of the nonprofit network football against racism in europe, which is known as fair b r. it's good to have you on the day these political leaders here in europe. they are clear on where they stand, but you wafer is all over the place today. it even said that the rainbow is not

a political statement. do you understand what you wafer is doing? hi, great to join you. not on the program. i think i can. i can see what they're trying to get out, but it isn't on holly mess it they, they have managed this in a way which is very regrettable. they, they've made a mess of a quite simple situation. and i think well they want to get out is the fact that they have to request to light up the alley. i'm serena in munich. one was from the german f i the f b. the other was from the mayor of munich. and the 2nd request came in from the mayor after the parliamentary shenanigans in budapest and the passing of this law. and he referred to the new law when he made the request to you. so what they've

done is jumped on the fact that the mayor of munich referenced the law and said essentially saying that he's interested in tit for tat political gestures for which they don't want to be a part of. it actually thought we know that the d f, b, the german f i had asked them long before to light up the stadium on a match day. and as i understand it that, that, that was also refused. so i can understand the position that they're trying to on the line, even if most of us think it's been done extremely clumsily. and it hasn't really been very well is to him, and i think it's been, it's great reputational damage for you, a for. and as you can see, if, if any of your, your viewers have been watching the game tonight, the fines in the stadium made their own statement waving up 210000 rainbow flags themselves there. or do you think that you wave will now be seen as an organization? condoning homophobia? are people going to be thinking that european football is now anti gay?

well, i think that if you are from the, the gbc i q community, you already will have some rest reticence before you go out and play wherever you play and add an amateur level or a high level. we have no for example, absolute 0 at 2 players in any of the repeating leagues at the top level, who have declared themselves as out and proud apart from within women support. so, so people already place a label on football. i'm not sure this will accuse them this will lead to them being accused of homophobia, but it certainly will lead to the suspicion that they don't quite know what they're doing in these areas that they're not quite comfortable in these areas. and therefore, neither of the mesh that they have in their messaging. but when you consider what we have seen this week from the nfl, you know, we sell carl nasa the 1st in f l player to come out as gay,

the n b a and it's players, you know, they are taking on social inequality. that's all going on on the other side of the atlantic on this side of the atlantic. what's going on here? well, what i would say is, we shouldn't confuse you for who have a position on, on issues of discrimination, even if sometimes it's not clear. and the stance of many of the players, you know, you've seen many players who have followed the, the players of the nfl and the n b a in taking stances that are all in terms of social causes that are true. they're close to them, whether it's anti racist fancies, or whether that day of their stances at all pro l g, b, t i q, community against phobia, anton reasons, for example, one of the biggest thing plays in europe was french treated yesterday with a strong message in favor of the the rainbow flag, many of the german players have been given support. so the athlete activism that we

see in the us, we are also seeing now in football. and that is actually quite new. i would say that plays now saying more than they ever have done. that is definitely as a result of movements like black lives matter and the way in which americans sports has got behind that movement. the problem comes, i think, in and governing bodies come, getting and shooting with catching up and adjusting their own positions. understanding the sport in europe is no longer just about the league structures, the commercial deals. it has a social i live in, which has always been, which now needs to become far more from the center. p r, a power from the network, football against racism in europe. europe is going to have you on the show. we appreciate your time and your insights. thank. the international leaders held talks here in berlin today, a bit. securing

a lasting peace deal in libya. the country has been unstable since 2011, when a nato backed uprising toppled long time dictator moammar gadhafi. leaders discuss the withdrawal, the foreign fighters and upcoming election scheduled for december. it's hope the vote will bring some stability and some unity to the country. the he called off to a confusing start. the american top diplomat meets his german counterpart in berlin. despite you could welcome both men that they share the same vision for libya. we share the goal of a sovereign stable unified securely be free from foreign interference. it's what the people who will be deserve. it's critical to regional security, as well as the table for permanent members of the un security council, together with other regional powers. and for the 1st time, representatives from libby is transitional government progress on the military and

political for the 1st one of the main goals. ensuring elections plan for december go ahead. we are supporting the election because this is the, this is the, you know, the way for democracy in libya and build english to government. however, we understand there is a lot of security challenges in the ground. one of the challenges is the presence of thousands of foreign troops. the mercenaries inside libya, as finish, now, we will not let our will not rest until the last foreign troops have left libya. that is why we have gathered here for a 2nd time at the libya come for him out of the loop, and that is what we will work towards one, the bite and libya has been in crisis. but ever since the ouster of new market duffy in 2011, following his full armed groups, refused to disband, and regional rival with grew elections failed to bring the country. and the closer rival governments was set up in the western and eastern parts of the country

. in tripoli, a government recognized by many western nations, one another regime established itself into brook. in october 2020, the warring sides agreed to a cease fire event form the transitional government. the elections this december will finally give the libyan people say, some affair. it may only be a small step on the long road to lasting peace. well, i'm joined now by alexandra say she is the manager for libya, advocacy at the norwegian refugee council. alexander it's good to have you on the program. europe has a huge vested interest in stabilizing libya because any other scenario means wave after wave of migrant leaving libya for europe. is this humanitarian crisis, getting the attention that it deserves here in berlin at these talks? did you just need this or not getting great attention that they deserve in berlin

or in the media in general? i mean, we've seen significant intention going towards the political dynamics, the security challenges, the immense political progress, which is incredibly important and the, the c bar that has now been in place for 7 months. but what we haven't seen is attention being placed on the everyday challenges impacting libyans as well the countries migrant and refugee, which make up one in one in 1010 percent of the country population. so they think they need to get challenges every day. we know that one in 5 people in the country require humanitarian assistance, is a significant and when we're calling on world leaders to give this the attention it deserved. the goal of this conference is to stabilize libya so that national elections can be held later this year. in your opinion with national elections be

the right step to addressing libby of humanitarian crisis. elections are definitely important. there haven't been national elections in libya in years. however, it doesn't mean that it's if you have elections that some of the humanitarian needs and the challenges impacting, for example, basic service delivery are going to disappear. it's definitely a step in the right direction. but we need much more attention to be placed on basic service delivery, such as health care, medical assistance, electricity. i mean, we're seeing significant power cuts in libya during a time where it is a lot heat. i mean, so these are just either issues but also need to be considered and are not going to go away simply by having election. and we know that the chances of a peaceful election and a peaceful transition of power in libya, they're not that good. what does that mean for the people in libya who are

desperate to leave the country? people are indeed desperate. we have 1300000 people in libya who are, are in need of humanitarian assistance. this is more than 400000 more than last year. they were, you know, just like other countries in the world, they were also impacted by koby 19. you have 270000 people who are living in damage and destroyed homes. you have 245000 libyan who have been displaced. not just by last years escalation, but am in, in various escalations over the last 10 years. and because of the, the liquidity crisis over the last year, a lot of people also couldn't get their salaries or access to cash. and so you have significant needs on the ground that, that, that need to be addressed today. and, and, you know, it's important that during this transition period in libya,

people are supported to, to meet their basic needs. because there are no guarantees that the fees bar is going to hold has been holding for last 2 months. but it's certainly fragile. yeah, but we will be following these talks and please, alexander, come back to talk with this again as hopefully the talks progress. alexandra. so i with the norwegian refugee council, we appreciate your time in your insights. eli, thank you. thank you. the on this day in 2016 people in britain voted to leave the european union and event known for ever more as breaks it. 5 years on concern is growing for at least a 150000 europeans living in the u. k. and tens of thousands of britain residing in the european union who are on the verge of being classified. as undocumented migrates, they stand to lose their citizens rights, including right to work, study and rent property. well, some could even phase deportation. well,

that's because many have not applied for post breaks that residency in the countries where they are living and the deadlines to do so in many countries when that deadline is next week. but today in the u. k. house of commons, prime minister boys johnson chose not to focus on those existential risks. instead, he talked about the benefits of branch. it isn't, i don't take control of issues that mattered to the people of the united kingdom. it has given us the freedom to establish a free ports across the country, driving new investments, to develop the cost is that in europe, to protect and invest in jobs. mrs. big over 5600000 e u citizens have already applied to our settlement scheme. and i would encourage anyone who may still be eligible to apply ahead of the deadline. next week. or 5 years ago, very few people were predicting that breaks it would pass the results, shocked much of europe and the world,

the brakes. that referendum remains one of the most important news events that we have covered here at d. w. news. here is a look back at the evening of june 23rd, 2016. and a reminder of what we were reporting the night that breaks it, began of our british identity was always funny because they live on an island. we really haven't had a story like this in our generation have when someone is going to be crying this evening. you think so in a few hours time will know the answer. i'm burnt. go. my name is christopher spring and this is d. w. news the u. k. ah, we don't really know what that would look like or which direction different european countries want to take or want to be even aren't playing down the importance of the, of the british for that though. i mean, we've always talked about and kelly, correct me if i'm wrong,

but we've always talked about the berlin, paris, london. you know, this almost this axis here. this is, this is what the e u feeds off up. and if we lose that, we, if we lose london, that's a 3rd of everything. but it also depends of whatever you're talking about economically. britain might take a hit, but so we'll europe and suddenly we'll germany. the u. k is a vital export country that germany exports into. so there is something to lose across the board. so whatever comes of this, something has been broken. this, this, the, the spell, if you like, i'm not questioning. the european union. being in place has been broken just by putting this question. something has been broken. wow. well, you just saw him at the big table 5 years ago with me. he is with me again tonight, right here in john worth. he is a germany based british political commentator and blogger is been

a part of our breaks you coverage from day one. it's good to have you back in the studio for a change. the last half. what went through your mind, john? when, when you looked back, when you saw that clip there, and you look back at the coverage 5 years ago, i remember being in this very studio that night. and at some point, joining me about 3 o'clock in the morning when the results came through that this is going really badly. and actually this could actually really happen. and we still then be picking through all of the kind of consequences that since what i think none of us could really have known is on that, that evening we could have expected a bumpy ride over the 5 years to come. but perhaps not one that's been so politically difficult so contorted has come to pass. did you, did you think that it would take so much time to go from the actual referendum being passed to win breaks? it would finally be a reality. i think that's hard to say because we knew on one hand that trying to do

make a trade deal with the european union, is a time consuming process. one level britton's, actually sold back comparatively quickly. what i think we couldn't really predict it is the amount of political breakdown that britain has had to go through in. what does the manage to get to that point? and actually no one's ever really tried to do anything like this before. so kind of negotiating when the clock is ticking and i think we've only understood in the last 6 months actually doing that. under that time, pressure is a really bad idea because the british and only beginning to discover actually a lot of these problems are lot more difficult than they thought they would be when they were so confident that it would be benefits. when you look at the u. k, in the european union since that fateful night 5 years ago, what do you think has changed the most? i think brittany still playing out that game about breaks it even now bricks it dominates. everything is even playing a role in britain, corona, virus response. and so britain problem being and political system which is between

the traditional policy of the last, the labor party, the traditional policy, the right, the conservative, has become essentially the conservative being the pro, breaks it policy. and everyone else wondering what to do about that. let me repeat the union side, it's a bit more complicated. it's a bit more new on the european union at one level stands actually in some things more united than it did back then 5 years ago. because all of the 20 said remaining countries and said, hang on a minute, we don't that she was that somebody the britain has had to confront and don't want to do that themselves. and then some things, again, the use current, a virus response, ease budget. the european union is perhaps better place today than was the case 5 years ago. but nevertheless, losing a big mistake. 65000000 people, the economic consequences. of course that's going to be a major hit. what about the names? david cameron, nigel farrar's, teresa made the speaker of the house of commons, john burke out, you know, or, you know, no one talks about any of these people now, and they were so we thought they were so important just

a few years ago. but if you look at the leading characters in the conservative party, ok far as johnson was at that time, back in 2016 and then carried to all of the other leading characters, particularly the remain figures from the conservative party of all be moved on the conservative party is move more to the rights has become more nationalistic, and all of those remain voices that were around david cameron, george osborne as well. his finance minister, they've all been shuffled off as a result of the brakes that process. and also if you look at what happened, i think it's just even less time ago, just 2 years ago, we wouldn't be inside here and probably would have be thought of theresa may as may be a figure of some really cute right. if we look at theresa may now actually looks like she was actually, but particularly with regard to northern ireland, she was actually taking over all the sensible approach to breaks it in comparison to what came to pass for his job. we have heard many times that if a 2nd referenda briggs referendum were to be held,

the brits with the vote to stay in the e. u. do you think there will ever be a 2nd reverend, i think is going to be a long road back. it was an opinion poll on that topic just came out today that said, 48 percent of the british population think it was now the wrong decision and only 40 percent think it was the correct decision. and then there's in between, don't know, but was really important you got to ask is what the european union want this britain back in the moment. because this is a british political system at the moment, which is going through quite some contortions as quite some difficulties. britton's, going to put its own political dysfunction right 1st before it could ever possibly dream of rejoined. let me ask you before we run out of time. you are british. you live here in germany. did brag, sit, alter your sense of identity, somewhat. how i'm perceived he has not changed to other than

a few people just asked me, how can the british be not crazy to have gone through with it that way, but i've maintained all along. it's still very much true. it's better through this price is being a brit spaced in germany. that would be a german citizen based in the u. k. or any other, your citizen based in the u. k. for that matter. so yeah, i know that my own personal and professional and political future will be here now . whereas before the referendum may be returning to britain, one day would have been would have been a possibility. now that's out of the question and brings it was a contributing factor to that. well, john, we're glad we got you on this side of the channel. anyway, john work you is always good talking with you. good to see you here again for the day is almost done. the conversation continues online. you'll find us on twitter either at the w news. you can follow me at brent golf tv. remember whatever happens between now and then tomorrow is another day. we'll see you then everybody who's

the news. the news. the news into the conflict with tim, sebastian libya has a new government of national unity which promises free election by the end of the year. but the road blocks at places are armed militia groups still hold power throughout the country. my guess is we can come in bio mass. this is

a un in geneva. how will this new government succeed conflicts? don't double the when i came, she was still a oh, they wiped her, forced her to marry. they tied her up the me so they could have life would be the same in g. i in 45 minutes on d w. ah, the news news, it is pretty good to know that since we didn't get

in touch with him, he didn't change. what's the story with here? one of the as do they have for their future w dot com, african megacity multimedia insight and cancer. me there is more freedom of speech to day and libya that ever was in the history of libya in human treatment. it's barbarity missed the bio. we have to give the government a chance. libya has a new government of national unity which promises free elections by the end of this year. for the roadblocks that faces our arms militia groups still hold power throughout the country. they still kill and kids map with impunity. my guess this

week is tommy vile living as a bus of the to the un in geneva from where he joins me. how will this new government succeed? well.
