matter for parents, he said, but there are some you leaders really pushing back against this saying this law is discriminatory. we heard a very personal emotional statement from belgium's prime minister battle who sat, who described how difficult it was for him to come out as a young person. how he struggled feared not to be accepted. and he also pointed to the fact how many a young people struggle when they discover that they are gay and how they're hoping for being accepted by their parents and some of them if there are no, it's even killed themselves. so this is a highly emotional topic that is here on the agenda, and there is so much also that is on the agenda. alexandra, we know germany and france are proposing and ease some it was let me put in this morning and angle americans final speech to parliament. she emphasized the need to resume talks with the russian president. let's have a listen and then get your read it. and the events of the last few months and not

only in germany, has clearly shown that it's not enough for us to react to russia. numerous provocations in an, uncoordinated way. instead, we must create mechanism to be response publications together and in a unified way. only then will we learn, counselor rushes high with us when you and in my view we, the european union must seek direct contact with russia and the russia president ulta. no, it's not enough for you as president joe biden to speak with the russian president . lucy, i welcome that, but the european union must also create formats for dialog. otherwise conflicts will never be result who is likely to go down with other member states. while we have to say that this proposal caught many member states by surprise, some diplomats criticized is as ill timed, ill conceived, especially member states in eastern europe are against such a summit. lease, who in yes, presidents no,

said upon his arrival dad say he cannot see that russia has changed its behavior. so why should you appeal leaders meet with blood in the put in. however, we also have to say that germany friends have a point of course, by saying that if joe biden to you as president is hassan to match with the vladimir putin. why shouldn't they? after all, russia is a neighbor and an important trading partner. so this is a topic that will be discussed here today. over dinner. meantime, it looks set to be anglo marco's last e, u summit, as chancellor and her 101. alexandra, i want to ask you little bit more about her legacy. but 1st, let's have a look back at the last 16 years of each summer. this is how it all began. winter 2000 and fife, newly elected chancellor. uncle michael, arriving at her 1st european summit in brussels. we're happy to this to our team.

this european summit and we will do everything to get the best results, whether there will be an agreement we cannot tell today. this became her brother's motto for the next 16 years, more often than not navigating the disaster of the day. first, to hit the 2008 financial crisis. what started out to new york was soon tearing through europe's economies. done with town. ladies and gentlemen, we are meeting at the right moment for the summit because i think it will sent important signals for the financial crisis. the olson con, easier said than done. some thought the chancellor was out of her depths. but when in 2014 russian king started rolling and crime in easton ukraine until america showed her metro brokering fire min. so i have already in men's communicated their results. this is

a glimmer of hope. no more and no less nico. meanwhile griggs were taking to the st. hearing their country's economic collapse. we will have tough talks today and there will be no agreement at any price. i know there are chances oh, nice negotiations brought success. greece was kept in the agreement but the 2015 refugee crisis and europe's borders. so you saw the derek. the splinter in breath of the chancellor, had a clear message under the face of the great chill, and she cannot happen. that europe says we cannot handle that, that would be wrong. that's why i always say we can manage that and there were other battles breaks. it budget hurts. no. the tedium, sometimes overwhelming and lots of diplomatic greetings and kisses to endure

more or less welcome. until the horrors of the coven, 900 crisis separated leaders for the 1st time, mecca, the last big fight was brokering a deal on the blocks enormous recovery fund. morgan, today we are entering the 3rd day of negotiations and it will be decisive. but we could also not reach an agreement a day when the deal finally came on, the american must have felt her work. here was done this pre pandemic family. so to may remind her of happier times, leaders are likely to feel quite lost without her. as the chancellor gets ready to take her last steps, leaving the european stage and to her back with alexandra phenomena in brussels. how is she likely to bid farewell? let her last use somewhat as chancellor. well, as you know,

she is famous for her pragmatic, no nonsense attitude, and i think we can expect that she wants to keep it low key here in brussels. that what she did during her last a g 7 summit that we also covered when she tried to dodge questions about that she robert wanted to be focused on global issues on the table. so i think that is something that we can also expect here in brussels. however, we also know that some you leaders are going to miss her. emmanuel, nicole and the french president, for example, has already said that those final summits with anglo medical, he's friends, are quite an emotional metro point. alexandra for non and d, w. breast bureau chief with a view from brussels for us today this summer. thank you so much. here's a look at some other stories making headlines. hundreds of unmarked grades have been found in the canadian town of mario balls, the scotch on

a former catholic boarding. it is the latest in a string of shocking discoveries at this youth schools for indigenous children across the country. they have revived calls on the catholic church to apologize for the history of abuse of 1st nations. children in canada. emergency services have rushed to the side of the partial collapse of a 12 story apartment building near miami. in the u. s. state of florida. there are no confirmed reports of death or injury so far. the reason for the collapse is unknown. from a philippine president been, you know, a queen of the 3rd has died. he was 61, a queen of served as leader from 2010 to 2016. he was the son of 2 of the countries biggest pro democracy icons and was known as a thorn in the side of china. he had been battling prolonged illness including undergoing dialysis and heart surgery. a victim of tyranny. that was the

defined cover story of the last ever edition of apple daily. as hong kong final pro democracy newspaper wrote its own obituary. it came just days after authorities moved to shut down the paper on national security grounds. people waited in long lines to try and secure one of the last copies. $1000000.00 were printed several times its normal circulation. the newspaper was known for its criticism of china as communist drillers. it said it had no choice but to cease operations after police frozen assets and arrested 5 top editors and executives. last week. it is seen as another sign of china's tightening grip on the study. correspondent phoebe kong has the view now from hong kong. phoebe tell us a little bit more about this last edition of apple daily. on this is the final print edition of apple id is really hard to get one copy here

in hong kong to ground today. that on the front page, like hong kong with pizza, painful farewell in the rain. pictures of one of the staff was absent a wasting his cell phone with lights on 2 hundreds of support. his outside apple, they headquartered last night to fail. well, the last 2 hours off the newspaper and it pulled from the support saying we support apple. daddy is a very sentimental farewell for apple, daddy. that is written a letter of farewell letter to hong kong and also some of the iconic, like fun pages. throw that case for the 26 year history of the newspaper. that is set that a press freedom is sacrificed under the tyranny and hoping that everyone can do carry on the spirit of apple dady of the critical newspaper. despite his pressure by disclosure. and as you mentioned there, phoebe, i mean, this is been in publication for 26 years. apple tally. so i mean,

how are people now reacting to the closure, especially at this charged moment. they are in hong kong, and we have been seeing many, many people like going on the streets to just get a copy of the newspaper since midnight. and throughout the day today in hong kong, that long lines as seen as newspapers, stores across the city. it just tells by how people, again the for just just just the very last copy of a history like a very critical voice of the opposition came in for them. this is just like one of the 3 we mainly wasted show was distance and also support to the opposition voice and the sense critics. the. this is a very serious emotion of hong kong press. mother, this is denied by the homeless ortiz and i am trying to spalding potty. but it is

very sentimental and it's very controversial like for people just to witness how a 26 year news outlets collapse. just where the in bays like in the wake of the prosecution under the national security law, even though no one has been convicted. yes. but the newspaper just have to be shot because of the freezing up app for some of the authorities. so this is really a huge blow like to the oppressed and also the community as a whole and the pro democracy movement for sure. just the latest flow for them. because with the view from hong kong, thank you so much. the world has a drug problem that is the conclusion of a new report from the united nations. it says the number of people using drugs globally has increased by 20 percent in the past decade. the trend is expected to continue, especially in africa. the number of people taking drugs there is projected to arrive by 40 percent in the next 10 years. of the current virus pandemic has led to

more drug use around the world locked downs and travel restrictions have for stealers to find new ways to sell and deliver their drugs. candidates or marijuana remains the most widely used drug and it's stronger than ever before. the us says more and more young people are unaware of the potential health risks. well of ghana stan is home to the global heroine trade for the down and out in the capital. cobble drugs seem like an easy escape from their difficulties or next report. in our next report, we need a woman determined to help users break the cycle of addiction bearings and because on linda. hi, doris is on her way to mother camp. it is one of the few privately run addiction facilities and caboodle. her diary founded mother camp on her way. she passes by poly, sucked her bridge, where many drug addicts live a lima. you know that i'm up with.

but other, and we'll talk when i saw the bridge for the 1st time, it was like looking straight into the ranch, that i thought this is what hell looks like. i remember the people were lying on the ground like animals and with dying. and they could have had promising life because it has maybe it's after work. i was another shock and still also her diary. she hadn't seen her brother for a long time and found out that he was living under the bridge. high diary decided to take action. she wanted to help her brother and the many other addicts, and caboodle almost everyone in the city of 4 and a half 1000000. know someone whose life has been destroyed by drugs rehabilitation center is located in western could boil, is dead. her son was once an addict himself for 30 years he suffered from harrison dependency. but with high diaries help, he managed to kick the habit. now he manages the center in her absence. meet is not

an addict. he has been here ever since high diary found him as a young child in a garbage can on the side of the street, most likely abandoned by his family. push to do both patients stay here for about 4 weeks. there is a lack of closely medicines to their withdrawal symptoms, so patients usually have to make do with cold showers when we also have a lot of talks and music sessions. the high diary also has in mind to turn off the rehab. she also runs the restaurant, taj, big room. all employees are recovered addicts, the work helps them lead drugs re lives and brings new perspectives. mohammad hussein is one of those who managed to turn his life around this stuff. this is a special place for a gun. it's done so we can feel pretty safe here. i'm very happy to work in

this place because here in the restaurant is just difference. almost like a family that was thrown on on that one thing. some take payments to the venue, the restaurant received threats from extremists also be to the does run by women. hi diary has managed to build what she said out to build, but the situation in afghanistan is unstable. he was crawl of international troops is underway and should be complete within the next few weeks. the 3rd, but when her phone got on her, i'm pretty pessimistic about has gone to the future. it seems totally really cool. cheeky as my the only one can look. what's the future of the taliban that are that are radical muslims, that here and no, not the women was and they as the mommy lane and future is uncertain,

but at least for now layla hi diary knows what she is going to do. support those with a drug addiction in cub rule for as long as possible. now libby is decade of chaos and conflict could be drawn to a close following a peace talk or rather peace talks here in berlin. the german host secured a pledge from the 17 countries taking part to withdraw foreign fighters and to keep the north african country on track for election scheduled for december. libya has been a battle ground for rival malicious since dictator mark duffy was overthrown in 2011 . he got off to a confusing start. the american top diplomat meets his german counterpart in berlin. despite your good welcome both men that they share the same vision for libya, we share the goal of a sovereign stable unified,

secure libya, free from foreign interference. it's what the people who will be deserve. it's critical to regional security as well for just the table for permanent members of the un security council, together with other regional powers. and for the 1st time representatives from libby as transitional government. but over some of the military and political for the 1st one of the main goal is ensuring elections planned 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 government. however, we understand there is a lot of security challenges in the ground. one of a challenges is the presence of thousands of foreign troops. the mercenaries inside libya that's finished now, we will not let out and 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 conference after you've been that is what we will work towards. the libya has been in crisis ever since the ouster new market

duffy in 2011. following his full armed groups refused to disband, and regional rival with grew elections failed to bring the country any closer. rival governments was set up in the western and eastern parts of a country. in tripoli, a government recognised by many western nations, one another regime established itself into brooke. 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 fear it may only be a small step on the long road for lasting peace. and here's a look at some other stories making news. hundreds of indigenous people are protesting a controversial land reform bill. outside of brazil's congress. the proposed

legislation would only protect the lands, a digit, as groups can prove that they have been living on since before 1988. in many cases, such evidence does not exist. critic see the reform as an attempt to free up land for industries such as mining anti virus software pioneer john mcafee, has been found dead in his jail cell and spain. the discovery coming shortly after a court uprooted extradition to the us, where he was wanted for tax evasion. a person spoke 1st and said that he had apparently committed suicide. after the pop star britney spears, i was told the los angeles judge that she wants the conservatorship of her estate revoked the fingers father, jamie spears has had control of her finances and personal life for more than a decade. fears describe the legal arrangement as abusive. we had to soccer now and the euro 2020,

where germany's through to the last 16 but just barely after surviving what was billed as the group of death. the roller coaster game had fans very much on the edge of their seat with germany on the verge. of elimination, but leon, correct? barked wild celebrations and the waning minutes of the match when he scored to secure a 2 to draw just good enough to advance to the knockout against england. the historic rivals will face off in london on tuesday. in the other game between title holders, portugal and world champions, france there was similar drama and the same result. 22 at the end. the hero here christiana, rinaldo, whose score twice to spare portugal the fate of going home early. rinaldo had now equalled the men's international scoring record with 109 goals. he also accepted his overall euros record to 14 goals, and it all means that france finished top of the group there, followed by germany and 2nd,

portugal and 3rd. all 3 teams advanced the last 16 of the tournament, while hungry are heading home. now after 2 days without matches, the last 16 of the tournament starts on saturday with wells against denmark in italy against austria. on sunday, the netherlands will play the czech republic followed by the high profile mack belgium against portugal. monday we'll see, croatia, place spain and france take on switzerland tuesday finally has probably the thriller of this round england against germany and sweden play ukraine. so after getting going a group of dust, germany will now focus on tuesdays match with england. chris harrington from d. w. sports gave us his thoughts on what is being billed as the pick of the last 16 ties matchup or paper. when you look at the recent match between germany in england, they have a few friendlies. those really don't count. the last major tournament they played, it was over a decade ago. and the player that was,

you call the germany's national team, thomas mueller, over a decade ago, scored a brace in the 2010 world cup. and i expect him along with joshua kids and others to bring that electricity. they got out of the most difficult part. you know, when you, when you get out of the group of death, it tough in your skin, it makes you thick, you know, so we have to see what english can bring to the piece. they will have the home fan support. of course, a lot. i'm sure on their side, but the tale of the tape i give jeremy, the slight advantage the go production really hasn't been there for england in hopefully germany. get it done and do their best to give you okey love a good farewell. and the drama on the pitch between germany and hungry last night was preceded by a rift with tournament organizer. you wafer it had blocked the request to illuminate the munich stadium and rainbow colors in support of hungary l g b t q. community, after a law was passed that the, you, you condemned as discriminatory. now you a for said the request would violate its political neutrality, but that didn't stop soccer fans and other stadiums across germany from showing

their solidarity. here are some pictures. what they did the the, the, the, the, the,

the the, and with that now you're up to date on the w news up next to focus on europe. i'm sarah kelly in berlin. war in the website. c, w dot com. thanks for watching the news . the news, the news the news,

i feel the match, the discover, the world around you subscribed to. doesn't documentary on youtube. the me the news . a warm welcome to a brand new edition of focus on europe. my name is liz show, thanks for joining us today. for many women from west africa, the dream of coming to europe often and in a nightmare. more than 10000 young women from nigeria fled to europe.

many of them ended up in the hands of human traffickers. according to un estimates up to 80 percent of nigerian women who crossed them in terrain in a 4th into prostitution by their fellow countrymen. this man who calls himself david knows a lot about this dark business. 10 years ago, he was a member of the nigerian mafia earning money through human trafficking and forest prostitution. but then he quit. and since then his life has been endangered. our reporter met david in italy, where the nigerian mafia is gaining more and more influence the town of custom tournament. once a tourist resort is now a mafia stronghold, a place where sheer violence rules, the nighttime on an industrial estate, young and if we can prostitute and looking for clients. you can see similar themes

on streets across decently. most of the women from nigeria, the u. n. says that up to 80 percent of them are victims of human traffic is that was her fate to will call her juliet. the nigerian woman tells us that she arrived here in a refugee boat 4 years ago and fell into the hands of the nigerian mafia. the fees we go like, are you ready to pay the money or not? and guess is no, i'm tired. i don't want to do this walk anymore to continue to be go. no food, no water. the log, the girl inside the room for 4 days on the phone call. ha. so i'll say they are heartless in run and we meet a man will call david, he tells us that he was a member of the nigerian mafia for many years, but left after witnessing the murder of a woman forced into prostitution,

they cut the person into pieces then they package it so for example, if were 10 people that know the dead body, you carry one kilo i carry when she low he carries one key level. everybody will dispose of it, you will never trace the person. you can never have the person again, the person is missing, just gone. gone. one of the strongholds of the night, jewelry and mafia is the southern italian town of castell toner. often the young women are under the control of other nigerians so called madams who pimp them out. experts estimate that criminal networks and hundreds of millions of years with forced prostitution. julia tells us that she managed to escape and find safety in this women's shelter. almost all the women here used to be prostitutes like her. they came to europe because they could no longer endure the poverty back home. you being a youth and you're living 9 j already did. although you are living where

you, i did because there is no hope for the youths, the little ones that are even communist days. nothing. human traffic is exploit that desperation. they lose women with false promises often financing their long journeys across the desert and the mediterranean. once they are in europe, the young women at told that they have tens of thousands of years of debt that they have to work to repay. so jonesboro is well acquainted with these tactics. he acts as an advisor to the italian parliaments and he mafia commission, offering his expertise on nigerian organized crime and its ties to the italian mafia. nigeria murphy, its dangers, but they deal with drug trafficking, prostitution mailing internet scott card credit pro,

much controlled the economy or back to feet who is in the public administration in political labels. is the tyler matthew saw when more dangerous yet visible in the street in the south strategic plane made by the mafia. so let's out sir, se the crime. they are the bad guys. dad on the street. we have nbc ball because the main goal of mine is to be quite silent. like the italian mafia, the nigerian crime network is divided into different syndicates or secret societies . according to former member david, they now operate throughout europe, and their methods are increasingly brutal. david says he still has contexts in the scene who feed him information. however, i have a video. if i show you the video, you will cry what, what happened to a girl child forced to do the prostitution was because she refused to do the

prostitution. these criminals can literally get away with murder, because most of the nigerian women are illegal migrants. most of most of them are ghosts. they're not registered. nobody knows about them. the government doesn't know anything about them. they're here. they don't have documents or anything. so if they die, it's very difficult for the government to know that this person is missing. research. juliet now has an official residence permit, and she has found a job in a restaurant. but her life is far from normal. she is constantly sexually harassed by men. the disgusting oh my god, they are terrible. you see this stuff going coming? they will start getting that really gets me annoyed if they will bring got morning . they'll be short. like what is 20 euro so i

cannot see down in the garden at peace without being interrupted. that's your walking boy. i want to sleep with you. for me is disgusting. juliet wants to put the nightmare that she suffered behind her. but she knows that other women from nigeria will continue to end up in st prostitution here to satisfy the demand for cheap sex. she says, this is not the better life in europe that she once dreamed of police attacking protesters, prison sentences for members are be positioned like alex in a volume and russian citizens will take a critical sense, are seeing their freedoms, car tailed when the country hold parliamentary elections, the full president put in the party intends to win clear victory. so he is silencing critics ahead of the vote. the editors of the students magazine doctor in

moscow are experiencing the repression themselves. they stand for a different kind of russia with different values. and they are determined not to be intimidated. the, these 2 are getting married in moscow today. both of them wearing a dress. the students say they want to make a statement for tolerance, love, and freedom. the couple and many of their guests, right, for the critical moscow student magazine doctor, including you can tell, you know, model the 25 year old has been an editor for the online platform for 2 years. and she says this wedding has raised her spirits at the moment. it seems like everyone have each other, the government pieces and their political repression everywhere. here, there is love everywhere, and that's inclusion. but there's a serious reason for the joyous celebration. the couple is marrying so they can't

be forced to testify against each other in court. that tyler, yes, gave it, and 3 other doc said journalists have been accused of inciting minors to take part in unauthorized anti crumbling protests. an investigation is ongoing. for months now. they have only been allowed to leave their homes for 2 hours a day. they could face up to 3 years in prison. you just need to be honest, i didn't understand what day did you already seen a student magazine. but i guess there must be something after all, we have managed to build up and i just really strong community of free thinking people. it's probably enough that we have a sort of cross street initiative from that with very horizontal structures and without hierarchies, which gives me something strange, incomprehensible, and scary for the or thursday afternoon. or earlier this year, docs are recorded about russia, white protests in support of arrested opposition. politician alixia. now by me, it criticized russian universities for pressuring students to stay home and not

take part in demonstrations. like other media outlets. then faced police searches and arrests students and young people came out in solidarity with the journalists. but pressure on the critical media is growing across russia. several media outlets have been declared foreign agents. meanwhile, at an economic forum in june, let, the mere putin had only praise for the state of freedom of speech and of stoker. we have so many news channels in russia, not so many internet channel. so many different opinions you in the media, you hear such critical opinions, topics and assessments of the government as well as of yours truly blessed you. i don't think such harsh criticism exists in many countries to work, and all these journalists are just continuing their work. nothing is happening to

them. if you please, would you katerina maroka is visiting someone who would disagree with that. why do you may need joke in is one of for journalists from the student magazine doctor who could face present with that since april. he has been under defacto house arrest. the 26 year old isn't allowed to use the internet and can only leave his house for 2 hours a day. he has to wear an electronic ankle monitor. it was already clear that this steam roll was rolling over more and more people putting pressure on them and that at some point it would get to the fluid done up and down. when this whole thing started in april, the trees were still bare and i thought, oh well i guess i'll just sit inside then. but then you see that it's spring. and of course you just want to be outside. for the mirror lives with his mother, a rushing human rights organization has designated him and the other 3 dogs that journalists with ankle tags as political prisoners. he katerina is trying to keep

them involved in the work of the magazine. makes it a birthmark, that's the good news. no. any of us could have ended up in that late at the fact that they got lucky. i was just a coincidence at the to the quick. i know it could have just as easily been me in the situation or mac laboratory because i know that the only thing we can do is to support them somehow despite the political pressure around 30 students currently right for dog. so since the police search, they haven't had an office, mostly they discuss their work online. they said that is usually safer. official. so when the police searched our office, i thought a lot about why i'm so scared. but i'm not leaving. i came to the conclusion that it doesn't really matter what job i do. if the people at the top went to passage, you just, they will, no matter what our playing and generally become a crime in russia. everything you do, everything you publish the scene by the authorities,

there's an attack or threat discrimination, l g, b t q. i writes corruption. the students reporting hardly chose the official line. today they're taking new photos since the criminal case against them, the magazine has gained a lot of new readers. that gives you katina hope. i just got to the fire that business journalist. your work isn't going out. i mean, i don't want to cross journalism in russia of my list completely. there are no other magazines or media outlets left where i feel free, then we'll just have to start a new one criminal. but that will probably also be closed and declared for an age. but that's just the reality of them. i mean it's a reality. says the journalist said talk. so want to faith. they say all those who dare to be critical in russia have to make sure to stick together the we now take you to northwest in spain,

where monologue at an end. this is back on a pilgrimage, but hope we can then make for him and hundreds of thousands of others to take a break from best spiritual wanderings. now, he's returned to the camino de santiago or way of saint james. the root is the place for him to get in tune with himself and reflect, but it's not so much about which of the paths he takes because in the end they all lead to santiago, they're compl stella, its 6 am in my know, her non days is already on the road, it says 99th time walking the way of saint james. this time, the 65 year old wants to walk from lid it to the catholic pilgrimage sight of santiago to accomplish stella in 3 days in this light booth singing these colors. okay, when you are at home in your city,

your village, inside, you don't feel this way and torment or you don't receive it. even if even here you can enjoy real life. the world that having them that he doesn't get home on the. my know is a lawyer from saba that a city near barcelona. he made his 1st pilgrimage 24 years ago to get back into shape after a neon operations. the religious side of the camino is foreign to him. yet they are with us. yes, yes. i'm an atheist. thank god. the walking gives me a lot, but nothing religious. it gives me physical and mental strengths and a love of life. got not the lead in finished at manolo has his pilgrim passport, stamped to prove he was here. he needs to walk at least a 100 kilometers on the route to get his certificate for compo stella. good morning. can i get the pilgrim stamp here?
