my name is sue and i work at the w the in the news news line from berlin, a stunning turn of events for the man once known as america, dad. he was convicted of sexual assault and sent to prison. but now us, comedian bill cosby is once again a 3 man, a us court overturned his conviction on a legal technicality. coming back on the last german soldiers return from afghanistan was all remaining international troops that lead by september,

11th afghan. worry about the future of their country and helping those who need it most. the heat wave in western canada shatters records and claims dozens of lives. ah, i'm fairly good to have you with us. the american actor bill cosby has walked free after court overturned his sexual assault conviction and ordered his immediate release. he was the 1st u. s. celebrity center prison for sexual assault since the beginning of the me to movement. now, 2 years on the pennsylvania supreme court decided cosby never should have faced charges in the 1st place after striking a non prosecution deal with a previous district attorney. and just like that,

bill cosby was free. his scar, sped by the walls of the pennsylvania prison, in which he served 2 years of a 3 to 10 year sentence before arriving at his home in nearby norristown. after being helped from the car, cosby gave the camera signal v for victory. his attorney was similarly triumphant. i am thrilled and i am pleased at the pennsylvania supreme court. what we knew all along, which was that mister car never should have been prosecuted, was driven by politics. were quite pleased that the pennsylvania supreme court seems impervious to what is going on on the outside world. and all of that pressure that was placed on the criminal justice system from. busy the me to movement help bring cosby on the scrutiny. he was one of

a number of high profile men in show business accused of using their power to exploit and sexually assault women. but only one case against cosby went to court, the alleged drugging and molestation of andrea concerned. the crushing of that conviction as re ignited debate over the ability to hold a fair trial and made intense public pressure. and of the efficacy of the me. 2 movements in holding powerful men to account katie matthews is an entertainment journalist following the story for us from los angeles, california. okay, take good. just see you again. we just heard bill cosby lawyer there. healing those rolling as a major victory, but will this really be the end of his legal was you know, a lot of the legal analysts have weighed in a lot of people are saying he's 83 years old. this ruling pretty much in this part of the case, and i really don't see how any other charges can be brought forth. because even

though there are dozens and dozens of women who have come forward stating they all these allegations against bill cosby, the district attorney at the time really didn't feel that they had enough evidence within the statute, limitations to prosecute on any of those allegations or else they would have done it before now. so this seems to probably ended in terms of the, the criminal case that has been launched against some civil cases. no, those are still on going. in fact there is one by attorney gloria all read. this going to be happening here in los angeles soon, but in terms of criminal prosecutions, this does seem to be the end of the road for bill cosby criminally speaking. all right. how have people reacted to the ruling? you know, most people have been shock. most people have been angry. only one person, a former cast me, felicia shot, who, you know, played his wife in the hit tv show. cosby said she felt that this was a vindication he should have never been convicted. this is

a great day. and so many people got angry and so many people attacked her and told her, saying she really needed to read the room and understand this was not the right time to say that and that there was overwhelming evidence against them. and that, by the way, this ruling again, as you heard, the previous news report is saying that he should have never been prosecuted. it did not say that he was not guilty of the charges. so it's a very, it's a legal lease kind of technicality. we have be very clear, you know what we say about that. yeah, we've seen a lot of lawyers actually say that this is a win for the constitution. his conviction back in 2018 with seen as a landmark moment in the me to movement. do you think this will affect other cases now? you know, it's really hard to tell because there hasn't been a lot of major prosecutions that are attached to the me to move and other than harvey weinstein, as we all know. and then of course, you know, we had bill cosby,

but there not a lot of other big time celebrities, particularly in hollywood that were convicted and given long lengthy sentences. remember bill cosby had about 3 to 2 years and he only really spent about 2 and a half years of that since. and so people had expected him to possibly pass away in prison because he was 83 years old. they were thinking, if he does 10 years, he got a 93. he might have, you know, might not be around in. so this really was a watershed moment. but things have seemed to kind of calm down in hollywood. and you don't see a lot of the investigation or the reports or the all these wonderful tantalizing stories about people coming forward with their me to movement any more. not the way we did about 3 years ago for sure. j. matthews. thank you very much for your analysis. thank you. their mission, last of nearly 2 decades and cost the lives of $59.00 of their comrades and countless civilians. but now the last german troops serving and i've got to stand

have arrived back home, their return as part of a face withdrawal of international forces, which is going ahead despite a worsening security situation on the ground. recent month has seen the taliban make increasingly significant territorial gains, and many ask and left behind are now afraid of what might happen next. the there was literally in the way of fanfare. germany's military mission enough going on came to an end but the families waiting for their loved ones to return. it was a day of joy and relief. when my mother up and picking up my husband lives, i'd been enough going to stun since february and i've come to collect i'm hoping to show up the one how are you feeling because i'm really excited and happy. after nearly 20 mission and 150000 troops deployed these of the last german

soldiers to come home. mission accomplished the build your assignment. the orderly meant of the german resolution support mission. contingent has been successfully completed but european troops quietly return and the u. s. prepared to complete its withdrawal, the situation that left enough going to stand remains precarious. the germans were heavily involved in the north of the country and cities like condos and my gosh, i leave and other cities around the north. and if you look at it, those are the see that are really in danger right now. and those are among the cities where local people are arming themselves to fight back against the taliban case of the germans. you know, it's another question of another country leaving and what did they really accomplish if 20 years later, the city that they were supposed to be in charge of fuel so unsafe? and the people either have to flee or take up arms for themselves. and as

a question of what did they really end up doing, how much should they really change for the average person? during the 20 year term military operation, there have been some gains in education, women's rights and infrastructure. but corruption and violence remain as huge obstacles over controlling large parts of the country. the taliban has begun re taking provinces as foreign troops. slave the, the fear now is that any games made during the last 2 decades already being los here is a look at some of the other stories making news around the world at the sour, former us defense secretary donald rumsfeld, has died at the age of $88.00, twice in the post under president gerald ford and george w bush rumsfeld oversaw the 2003 us invasion of iraq. and he remained unapologetic about the war insisting that toppling saddam hussein created

a quote more stable and secure world. the death toll from the collapse of a residential tower in miami has risen to 16 after 4 and more bodies were pulled from the rubble. 147 people are still unaccounted for. nearly a week after the building came down, hopes of finding survivors are quickly fading. at least 7 migraines, including a pregnant women, have drowned off the coast of italy after their boat capsized. the coast guards says 46 people were brought ashore, but around 10 are still missing. the group is believed to have set off from tunisia . extreme heat waves sweeping across the western canada is causing dozens of death and breaking records day after day. on tuesday, temperatures had 49 degrees celsius in british columbia. cooling centers have been set up to give people some relief, but the sweltering heat is forecast to continue. a prolonged, dangerous,

and historic heat wave engulfing western canada has already caused dozens of death . people are being encouraged to go to cooling centers to combat the extreme heat. it's just on bearable it's, it's impossible to be out. so never seen anything like this. i hope it never becomes like her again, it's not really pleasant. this is too much, too much summer for us here. but some are enjoying being outdoors like vancouver. it's an interesting experience. the nice getting outside, but basically been consuming gallons of water. the whole time. not surprising with temperature is exceeding 45 degrees in some places, some feeling close to 50 degrees in others because of the human conditions. some are taking to the water to cool down, while others are helping the vulnerable by distributing food and drink to provide relief. officials point to this being part of a wider problem. in this instance,

i think the that the big lesson coming out of the past number of days is that the climate crisis is not a fiction. that is absolutely real. and if you look, i had a briefing from the wildfire service yesterday and again today the entire west coast of north america from baja to alaska is red hot. this is not a british columbia problem. it's not a candidate problem. it is a global challenge and we all need to have citizens of the world coming together soon. and college classes have been cancelled in british columbia, which means more playtime, perhaps. but extreme heat. and the search for relief looks like a climate emergency problem that just isn't going away. and the island nation of madagascar is paying a high price for climate change, which it has done little to cause the worst droughts in 40 years have left thousands in the indian ocean. stayed on the brink of starvation. it organizations

i have a lot of hope. customers stayed away for a while. more than a year, almost 2 years now, it's dragged on for so long. it would be great if we can reopen again. but if it doesn't work, we'll just try and stay alive. i don't know what to do. many african countries are in a similarly dramatic situation in south africa alone, one and a half 1000000 people to 10 directly or indirectly on tourism. hotels, safari parks, the astronomy and transport. more than half of these businesses haven't been able to cover their fixed costs in 2020 experts fear it will be a long time before tourism returns to pre crisis levels. not just here, but worldwide. we are currently you need to national tourism at levels of 30 years ago. so basically we are in the years 18. so not,

not much crowd. the, the problem that we are main the facing is that many livelihoods, that's really a threat. and i will pick it up from the policy recommendations we have lost 1000000000 travelers. so 1000000000 opportunities for people to be livelihoods, especially in developing countries. the un report painted damn picture predicting the global travel industry will be back on feet again in 2023. far too long for the millions dependent on tourism. says in chinese ride hailing at d. d. choosing have arisen on their stock market debut in new york is 16 percent shortly after the b. i'm trading valuing the company at around $77000000000.00. but that rally did fade ending the session closer to the companies. i p o. price d d dominates the chinese right. haley market with half a 1000000000 customers. let's get more on that from our street correspondent in the

quarter. yet, what were the people in d d hoping to achieve with this new york listing? now what, even if the stock only was up by a good percent, by the end of the session, that was pretty successful. i p. o raising about $4000000000.00 as you mentioned. well, there had been some challenges recently for a d d, a growth passenger growth actually started to installed. so how can you grow from there? you could cut the share that the drivers get, or you could increase the price of both, not necessarily a very popular measures. so what they will try to do is invest more into a visa, more into autonomy is driving. and so those $4000000000.00 definitely are so welcome, new money for a d d to re invest. and then on top of it, like here was we were in the united states and also with d. d, it is

a challenge to find a drivers and also the regulatory environment is challenging as well. new york's been a popular place, the chinese companies to list over the years. how popular are chinese stock some wall street yeah, they used to be quite popular with the growth potential, but also that has changed a bit in the past couple of months and years. i mean, 1st of all, there's also this regulatory environment when it comes to the relation between the united states and china. and then also when you invest in china, it's always a bit tricky. with transparency, you thought there had been cases in the past. the one very famous one was looking at coffee last year when it turned out that actually the sales figures were manipulated. not that the content into a rest of the company as well. but when it comes to transparency and also with the chinese government that's involved in all the big enterprises in china. so that has

caused some skepticism here on wall street water in new york. thanks and have a look at another chinese i pierre. now the bubble tea business. now yuki has just listed in hong kong, raising $650000000.00. it's a major moment for a company that started with a blind date move over starbucks. meat, now you keep the chinese bubble tea chain already has 550 stores where customers sip, the latest asian specialty to find the global fan base that he is loaded with milk sugar and tapping yoke up pills and is apparently quite addictive. bob, a ring a to 10 cups of bubble tea in a week when i feel very stress is usually el, tried to control my diet and have one every other week. sometimes i have no self control, so i come here twice

a week. now you started after a blind date when entropy neuropathy gene told her date about the idea and the to became business partners. the chain prides itself on innovative drinks, fresh ingredients, and a cool cafe, the core to set it apart in china, crowded bubble, tea environment. now yuki has a loyal crowd. i think it's good for them to go coupling. but even more than that, i hope there will be other companies with products just as good but come at a lower price. that would be a good thing. now yuki wants to invest the ip proceed to open another 650 stores. even though the company currently burns money, fast analysts are bored. they estimate shyness appetite for bubble tea will grow threefold with a market reaching over $50000000000.00 annually by 2025. now let's take

a look at some of the other business stories making headlines. trading platform, robin hood has agreed to pay a reckless $70000000.00 fine to us regulate a fin rougher harming millions of uses. robin hood with acoustic giving us as misleading information about their accounts, and must also pay restitution to uses effective by system outages in march 2020 amazon has formerly asked the us anti trust chief, lena khan to step aside for investigations into the e commerce jives con, has been a vocal critic of nathan under the us tech. authentic confirmed her appointment as chairman of the federal trade commission this month. so brazil is unemployment rate stayed as a rec, or 14.7 percent and the ferry from every april. 15000000 people were out of work during the course of that. as a new wave of co infection, sweat latin, america's largest economy of europe in union and united kingdom have agreed to extend a grace period in port

a fresh meat to northern ireland from the rest of the u. k. host breakfast customs . arrangements have prompted a route nicknamed sausage was the 3 month reprieve will come as a relief to british traders, but does nothing to solve the wider conundrum of trade across the irish sea. her most beautiful roses used to come from england, but no nursery owner, beth lunney can only get roses from holland. her customers near belfast prefer the english roses with beautiful names like the dark lady. but northern ireland has had special economic status in specs. it. it still belongs to the single market and that you have strict regulations to prevent the import of pests. there was a possibility that there might be a splash of so on the part. so that went against the regulations. well, it's very frustrating when you have been telephone companies from 2530 years. you

know, you're getting excellent variety of plants that your customers will buy. and then you're just suddenly told at a stroke of the pan, sorry, you can't have these, you can't get them. since breaks it becomes border, has been moved to the irish c despite northern ireland, remaining part of the united kingdom at the port of belfast, documents are checked and fresh produce inspected. mark brown runs the arcadia delicatessen in belfast now and its 3rd generation. he can still get his olives from italy without any problems, but cheese and other fresh produce from britain are a pained to import. many suppliers have decided there's just too many checks and too much bureaucracy. they've simply canceled those contracts. a lot of them are just sort of walked away from the ordinary because it's a small market. you know, the problem is the plan rate, the people north and are, and, you know, so the decided, you know, just too much hassle. and again,

understand the aden connelly from the northern island. retail consortium maintains times with many small business owners like mark brown. their main problem is that they can't afford expensive consultants to guide them. through the new bureaucratic jungle, we need a trusted creators being terminated. some of the fraction we need to re agreement to remove a lot of fraction immediately. let us get to that close to the students, but we need the e. you and you can both can move. but of politicians on both sides fail to reach an agreement. things will get even worse for northern irish companies in the autumn, temporary policies which regulate fresh food will be done away with. that means even more checks and even higher costs for business owners in northern ireland. and just lastly here on the w business, a dose restaurant has broken the guinness world record for the price is burger, and it's $5000.00 jewelry creation. the golden boy going to the top shelf

ingredients like why do beef king crab and caviar? even the bun is made with champagne and gilded with gold leaf restaurant to robert young yonder, vain drink. earlier this year, when his restaurant was close to the rent of ours, sold the burger to accompany plans to make the revenue to figure out who that's all for me and the dw business. so next time the news refugees, the greek island is where their jeans for paul assume a young joke. it is where one could begin. football has helped them overcome the trauma of his homeland. and he'll give it his all to become a professional european kicker. the focus on your

d. w into the conflict with tim sebastian, american, secretary of state, one's in a blink. i was crying last week, his name apparently to offer words of comfort and support for the country. after rushing to masting, huge numbers close to his border. my guest who's weekly crane's foreign ministers in the chair. what did he get out of the visit? and what was conflict? in 60 minutes, on the w o. the was right in front of them. they're all for this one moment. suddenly, we agreed to postpone the or game central care with 202021.

thrown off course. during the qualifying round, not least for sports heroes. actually, it was a flap in the face, but now we just have to fight their mobilizing superpowers. i'm fired up and ready count down during walk down those lucky go to tokyo, started july 19 d w. ah. the news. hello and welcome to focus on europe. i'm lar, bella, it's nice to have you with us. after a long delay the european championships have finally kicked off, and soccer fever has taken hold of europe. be it in the stadium in pubs or on the

streets. millions of fans want to see their stars and their teams. for them it's the perfect opportunity to finally experience a bit of normality again and to have something to celebrate. but for him, soccer is about more than just scoring goals. paul asked him a young go is a refugee from cameroon. fighting for his future on the greek island of less, both he dreams of a career as a professional soccer player in europe. and sports has helped him to connect with others and to cope with the trauma of fleeing his home. his harrowing experiences include being stuck in the former moria refugee camp, despised by refugees and locals alike. these are the remains of the moria refugee camp, unless both at times more than 12000 people lived here in and around the camp until

it burned down in september 2020 paul, a 20 year old from cameroon, spent 2 years living in moria. it was a difficult time for and he doesn't like looking back on it now, he has trouble finding the place where he used to sleep. this is my cough. i remember this is my golf. i. i got it forms pianos. so even kayla spine us is probably the best known hobby football coach on les both and pauls savior. thanks to the greek gods. all is now a striker with the iow legal soccer team. the island club only just missed promotion to greece. the 2nd division this year that success is partly thanks to some new team members. 3 young asylum seekers from africa and their coach. but not everyone is happy that the 55 year old coach has taken the refugees under his wing

. some great parents have taken their children out of sponsors, youth teams. it was a problem, but i decide okay, doesn't matter. i'm doing. i'm also a physical educator or not. so i have to teach people not only for sports, but also for me have you are working for values for all these things. values like respect and solidarity. after practice, a greek teammate, dr. paul home. he now lives together with other players in this former hotel for that. he thank spawn us and god. sure this is my bible. a bible is all that remains from his months long flight from political violence and his homeland and this is my email is

short. my parents right in front of me. i was like touch od between i nice too bad. so bad for me, like i don't to talk. yeah. did. soccer and coach sponsors are his only consolation. the team has called etc cosmos. twice a week, young people come from the nearby car to tape a refugee camp for team practice. for the young men who mostly fled to europe without their parents. it is one of the rare opportunities to get out of the camp. they say conditions incur attempt, they are much better than they were in moria, but they still feel trapped. it can take years for an asylum claim to be processed in greece. lot in a good. but now they have hope paul has shown them the way playing

for the 3rd division side and working as an assistant coach has helped him get a residence permit. that makes of uncle sponsors proud. he hopes his successful work will inspire greeks to show more understanding for the often traumatized youngsters. we can give them help, we can change their behaviors so we can make them better, better be better buttons. so when they're in the society in the community, it will be very easy for them to speak with local people and local people to check to see that they are the same with us. they are not listen paul has his sights set high. he wants to move on from less bows and dreams of

playing for a professional club in a big city in germany or france. paul is very popular at the clubs, cafe, but among the greeks on the island, there's continuing controversy over the refugees. the european union is planning a new reception center, but most locals are opposed to it because we are against the new k, i mean, we don't want them hear what you're going to do. we don't have any factories or work here. what are they supposed to do here? any coach sponsors is not put off by such opinions. and his persistence has paid off with f. c. cosmos. receiving international support, including from soccer's, european governing body, you wafer and where we are coming here kids and in every age they are very angry. yeah. so

and every day by day we are looking them smiling, working, talking with the others. and this is nice, this nice you read a former player cause really only spawn us is still there for his boy. even after they've moved on to other clubs in greece or elsewhere is those by, by not everyone's sporting dreams come true. but on the soccer pitch coach, sponsors has given them reason to hope, unless both and far beyond it never quite went away. the fear that the so called troubles may return to northern ireland violent protests and april confirmed suspicions at briggs. it could reignite the conflict between catholics and protestants on the island. well, for pro british protestants in belfast, fears of being left to drift or rising since brags it. and despite countless

promises to the contrary, a customs border between northern ireland and the rest of the united kingdom has been implemented. and some protestants fear being cut off from the u. k. and joining the republic of ireland against their will something their pro irish neighbors. however, would welcome tensions are on the rise. these protestors want to me british that demonstrating on the outskirts of belfast despite the police. then when it comes to northern ireland special status, they feel betrayed by the u. k. government. we have not got a partition direction, something the people and also have for, for, for hundreds of years is remy and part of the united kingdom. and now we find ourselves divided from the united kingdom with no consent were produced by blood. but the blood flows for your patients, but as our possession of n shady, united kingdom, no, we're no longer part of united kingdom for the part of it. because our

constitutional law laws are in brussels, nor the british symbols are common in northern islands. protestant dominated areas, the red hand represents one of the many para military organizations. it can be found in traditional working class neighborhoods like this one near the port. it's now one of the poorest areas in northern ireland. joe keys grew up in a similar area. he knows the paramilitary group and he won't feel proud of his protestant heritage, but he's afraid it could be taken away by catholics. some people are loyalty as to the queen, sometimes it's their british identity and people fly their flags just pure love. they're right down to me, it's an expression of who they are. his catholic neighbors lived just next door behind a high wall. most of them want a united ireland. that would be

a night master. joe. got one group of people who believe that northern ireland should be part of the united ireland. then you've got one group of people who believe northern islands partition should remain part of the united kingdom. those are fundamentally opposed. you know, ideology should come out both. you're either in one or in the other. we make our way to the other side of the rules. in the past, it seemed violent street fighting that claimed over 3000 lives. one of the dead was the mother of mary adams, a catholic who died in a bomb attack carried out by pro british protestant militias. she says she's worried about increasing discontent amongst the protestants. they're not thinking about anybody else just themselves. and i've always been look at, it's always been like so i snatched the engine there, not latin, a change at all was diamonds and they kept a month. but for many catholics, the united ireland they have fought for so long is increasingly within reach.

mary's neighbor who runs a pub, says the protestants will just have to accept that tomorrow morning, tomorrow morning. so they can still have their bed shut down today because we still have our adage, down to the low were still occupied by the british. so mainly we have no pets of $400.00 tiers. let them see how they can look back on the other side. joe keys sees the british, is protectors, not occupiers. until recently. anyway. now prime minister boris johnson's government has allowed goods from britain to be checked in the port of belfast. for jo, that's unforgivable, and has to be changed at all costs. sometimes violence is the thing that you have to day. i'm not sure that we have to day up. i'm not saying that we will have to do . i'm just sent. you asked me to take it off the table to ask me to categorically read it. especially when our political opponents have made very clear that they are not going to take it off the table. it's an unreasonable request. joe is not alone

in his anger, according to polls, over 80 percent of people in northern island. don't trust the u. k. government. there are some people who think that and violence in various forms expresses how serious you are. i know that the vast majority people in northern ireland do not want to see anything like that, but it doesn't take too many people to create a situation in which some people protest can escalate and to something violent right now, young protestants will as the northern ireland are preparing the annual bonfires to mark the 17th century victory over catholics. but many fear this year bonfires could get out of control. there's certainly a sort of perception that our concerns and our worries and also our goals and our on our dreams are kind of ignored. i'm, we're kind of totally just sit down,
