level, the impacts of the various strains must be taken into accounts. we must strain from the counter measures to prevent the infections from spreading to the rest of the country again. though public sentiment in japan has widely turned against hosting the tournament, olympic organizers have dug in their heels and are committed to seeing the games through we continued to be committed to our principle of organizing safe olympic and paralympic games that together with you. and we have shown, you know, this responsibility seen the day of the postponement. the games are estimated to have cost more than $20000000000.00 cancelling them, which should cut off broadcasting revenue. but make recouping any of that next to impossible for tokyo and the international and big committee for better or for worse with or without fans. just like the olympic torch. the games look set to

march on. to me now from japan as journalist, as on the black, it is only what does this new state of emergency mean for these olympic games? will it be without spectators? that's very much what i'm expecting. yes, this has been in the discussion here in the public for a while now, and i think that will be very hard for them to kind of sail lympics with spectators, especially to the domestic audience, so to speak. the super government recently suffered for this defeat in local elections, and i think they want to kind of show the people here in japan. okay. we're doing something for you. we're taking your concerns seriously. because actually the majority of the japanese people would prefer the lympics without spectators. is it still it's? this is not about just international spectators. this is also about of japanese spectators in the country. anyway, this would apply to both groups, wouldn't it?

yes, i mean the, the foreign aspect of that band quite a while ago, and at the moment they were thinking up until now, okay, that would allow up to 10000 people or 50 percent of the capacity of the venues. but now it's more likely that it would be up to $5000.00 people. but i think we might be seeing that eventually there will be those. no, locals fixations this whole. like i said, most people would actually prefer this option. you are, you mentioned these elections earlier holding these games emit in right? in the middle of the pan down it has been extremely unpopular in japan. what damage might it now do? politically? well for the super government, this is really, depending on how the games go, they are kind of hoping if they go well, it would be good for their policy and it would be good for us to the government and

the upcoming election, which we are expecting autumn but if the weight is a large rise in case which many people are fearing, then this could be very bad news for, for himself, but also for his party and us and lots of discontent. recently, we've seen lots of cancellation talks relays happening to cancel. there was only one last one today and people who were there with a few today. they were very kind of, you know, on the one hand, we're looking forward to the olympics. but on the other hand, are very worried about the rise in cases. and yes, it's a very unique situation. nobody's really looking forward to the olympics. so i'm like i said, expecting that they won't be allowing any spectators to told eventually unless sunday laska in japan. thank you for joining us. welcome to south africa, our former president jacob zoom and has spent his 1st night in prison after ending

a stand up with police and giving himself up overnight whom i had threatened surveyed capture since he was sentenced last week for failing to appear before a corruption inquiry he may be eligible for parole after serving around 4 months of his 15 months time. it's the 1st time before the president has been jailed in south africa, those whom i previously serve time as a freedom fighter during the arm struggle against apartheid. cutting it close to a midnight deadline. the convoy of vehicles carried former south african president, jacob xena on his way to hand himself over to authorities. the 79 year old is now in custody in his home province, beginning his 15 month sentence for contempt of court. on sunday is in a stress he wasn't afraid of jail time referencing his previous incarceration for

his role in fighting south africa's racist apartheid regime to remind them and i'm not scared of doing of blowing to jail for my beliefs. it will not be for the 1st time i will be a prisoner of conscience. the former president, it was in office for 9 years, has been at the center of corruption allegations surrounding his time in public life. the contempt of court charge came as a result of him refusing to appear at a corruption commission. he's called the process a political conspiracy. but authorities have accused him of mister perforating funds and fraud. some of the charges date back 20 years. the on monday, the constitutional call is due to consider an application by xena for the cancellation

of his prison sentence. for will have looked at some of the other stories making headlines around the world. police and haiti have killed 4 suspects and arrested 2 more following the assassination of the countries president of an al movies. he was shot dead at his private residence near the capital puerto from official se the attack of belonged to a group of quote, professional commandos and foreign mercenaries who killed the president bar posing as us special agent. dozens of people have held the vigil for the victims of a building collapse near miami and florida. it took place after authorities officially ended the search for survivors. they will continue scouring the rubble for bodies so far. 54 people have been confirmed dead 86 others are still on. the counted for the apartment collapsed nearly 2 weeks ago. the moment that he does a pain, at least when you had to break off the press conference as an advocate and the military jets behind them was suddenly scrambles. the spanish government says an

unidentified plane of the baltic. this guide triggered the alert spain. currently as verify the general stations in lithuania, european union hath honda is an 875000000 euro find to german carmakers for colluding to prevent the roll out of clean emissions technology. the you anti trust 40 says diamond bmw w, and the folks are group benign consumers, the chance to buy less polluting cars. a diamond gates being fine because they've revealed the costs out to the european commission of him on this story. i'm not joined by the w corresponding jack park in brussels. jack, why was it so important to you to hold these german carmakers to account? i well, this case is a by competition and their actions in competition. the european commissioner, who is this for competition, margaret of esther said that this is actually about the green deal about trying to

make your it the 1st climate neutral concept by continent, 520502050. that's the aim. essentially. what these 5 call me because they're alleged to have done is to have sat down and had regular technical assess discussions to prevent special technology from reducing emissions in diesel cause there is a thing called ad blue. it is a liquid that goes into a tank in a car and it is put into the emissions as the car is driving forward. and it reduces the nitrous oxide emissions into the atmosphere. what the car companies relate to have done is to have limited the, the size and the usage of those tangs in such a way an agreed to have done so that would meet the bare minimum you legal standard . so it meant from the european commission point of view that they were stifling innovation, but also what they were doing was preventing the greenest possible cause, getting in to the hands of consumers. so $875000000.00 euros as

a $1000000000.00. this sounds like a massive amount of money, but is it, is it more than a parking ticket? this for you and me for these companies? yeah, it sounds like a lot, a lot of money and it obviously is to a normal person. but for these call companies, it's not so much both like a group, which is one of the biggest risk taking the lion's share of the fines is actually only paying just over half a 1000000000 euros. bearing in mind, their annual turnover is 223000000000 your raise. so there's a little bit of money for them. but it's not significant. as i said, the reality is that the european commission reduced some of these fines dimes got away for free because they blew the whistle on it. and both group actually go to 45 percent reduction on that because they cooperated. the commission today is saying that corporation is vital as we go forward because they want to make sure that companies that are accused or fine to have been doing these kind of caught how like

practices that they will cooperate with the commission in the future. and that's something that was important and you could hear it from the question during the press briefing today. exactly. but also apparently some aspects of this case that the, you decided not to investigate further. what can you tell us about that? that's right. this all started back in 2017. the commission went, runs the 5 call makers to them. manufacturing sites did some inspections in 2018. they launched and in depth inspection, and it wasn't only to do with the diesel cause. at that point, it was also to do with petro cause, and a particle emitter system could also withdraw withdraw as possible. there's a meeting in the end. the commission today said that there wasn't enough evidence to go down that road. it seems that they just focused on this diesel case and they launched this fine today. that will be some continuation investigations on this issue. get the pretty much it looks like the commission is feeling good. they had cooperation from the companies and they can try and move forward, especially with new announcements on exactly how to use. going to reach that 2050

climate neutral go expected in the coming weeks. w's correspondent jack's power can brussels. thanks. junk police in the netherlands. have arrested to suspect silver, the shooting off prominent investigative journalist, peter the phrase, the men are due in court on friday. authorities investigating links to de freece reporting on a large criminal gang european lead to say his shooting was also an attack on press freedom. peter de fries is known for exposing the dutch underworld, sometimes digging up evidence to help bring justice to victims and speaking out for survivors. now, the investigative journalist live in an amsterdam hospital fighting for his life. this surveillance footage shows the breeze walking down a nearly empty street moments before he was attacked. a gunman shot him up to 5 times, including once in the head, people who have come to the scene of the crime,

to a flower, to think of his contributions to dutch society, and to pray for his recovery. to think of all this subjects in the past years and his opinion, he's his work contributed for society. you can think him away so. so i just hope that everything's going to be fine with him. i hope that you will survive this. so because he's a very important person in hollins and journalism, the fries had been recently involved in the trial of the alleged leader of a criminal organization, prosecutors called, and oiled killing machine. a 64 year old had long been considered a possible target of the criminals. he reported on 2 suspects are in custody and connection with his shooting. they are scheduled to be in court on friday. a 3rd man was detained, but later released, police have not revealed

a possible motive. the journalist, politicians and citizens believe the attack is aimed at balancing reporters. we also think that journalists who might be targeted by organized crime must be protected. it's very important and it is very important that this murder attempt does not have a chilling effect on journalist working on criminal affairs. the netherlands really sees violent crimes, but some say their parent targeting of the fries has shaken their sense of security . the w, as my thunder is an absence on the following. this story for us give us an update on the phrase condition. what are you hearing that? right, so what we know is that if he's in the hospital with a strong security measures in place, also due to that fact, there's very little information coming coming out. what we do know is that he

sustained very harsh injuries of a bullet to the head from, from eye witness reports from, from what we know. and according to a journalist, colleague of police, the chief of f, a r t l, the, the television station where that if he's prior to the, should he attended a type talk show. he said that if he's still fighting to for his life. so what do we know about this, this criminal gang who is supposedly behind this attack? right, it's quite early to determine whether or not the criminal gang was involved in this assassination. and what we do know is the 2 men were arrested by police. they were travelling in a car outside the city, 60 kilometers from from amsterdam, 35 year old post citizen, and a 21 year old dutch citizen and of the police took them into custody. they subsequently switched our apartments. i came up with hard drives and ammunition as

to their motives. we don't know yet what exactly. what could have could have been their motives. pit fees is the leading crime journalist in the netherlands. he has been shining a light on the criminal underworld of past 4 decades. so he has a lot of enemies and also some people suspect maybe his, his, his connection to a criminal case against a drug lord could play a role here he was. or he is actually acting as a counselor for the key with this in a case against them, against a, a drug who is incarcerated here in the netherlands at the moment. but as the justice minister said, when he, when he spoke to press spoke to us yesterday here at the scene, it's too early to determine what exactly might have caused this, this attack. we'll have to wait for police work to be done and for investigators to come up with results. and actually seeing people laying flowers behind you there. what's the reaction there in the netherlands about this attack? right, as you, as you will know, the netherlands and amsterdam in particular as you go to is one of the most liberal

societies in the world and a journalist being being shot at being, being, having an extra thing, assassination attempts and any democracy worldwide would probably shake a nation to a score, and so it isn't kind of surprised that many people came here, as you can see behind the, came to pay their respects to pay that if it's late on flowers, to light candles, to, to, to leave a really hard warming and pointed messages i'm wishing, wishing him a wishing him a speedy recovery and to be able to go back to what he's, what he's really good at very soon exposing in injustice and fighting. try me on my son the in amsterdam, the 1st thank you max a controversial new law has now come into effect in hungary, despite condemnation from the european union, the little bands, portrayals of homosexuality or gender change in school educational materials or, and tv shows. and at the under 18 critic say it's discriminates against l g

b t 2 people. the p and commission has urged hungry to repeal the law, but you're depressed. you efforts to overturn it will be in vain insisting the measure is that to protect children is what you appeal commission president over the funded line, had to say about the new law just because that's their home of the law with homosexuality and gender reassignment on par with pornography just because it, it uses the protection of the children to which we are all committed as an excuse to really discriminate against people because of their sexual orientation. the and this law is disgraceful that is chen on we have some breaking news coming in with regard to our top story organizers of the tokyo olympics, have now agreed that the event will be held entirely without spectators. that's according to japan's olympics minister to my own myrtle car. one tokyo 2020

president said it's regrettable that the games will be so limited. ah, we stay on the subject of sports, england through to the final of the european championship after defeating denmark, wembley stadium in london after the game, finished 11 in regulation, captain harry came school, the winner for england, an extra sign on sunday. they faced italy and that 1st made a final since winning the world cup. in 1966 for england funds at london to fougere square, it was a native tension. yeah. relief. the end of extra time, harold did their 1st final in 55 years. typically he can see only one destination with a toothy. 6

0 boy, why it's coming. all right. howdy, canes, extra time winner was decisive and spot a special moment for his proud coach. i think we deserve that and for our country. i mean, i've not heard this new wembley like that ever. and to be able to share that with everybody and share it with everybody at home is very special in copenhagen, the air finally went to the danish funds balloon. after a hugely emotional campaign, their team had opened the scoring with their mission to win the tournament. for stricken teammate christian ericsson ultimately run out of steam over macklin, linda, he felt the whole nation has supported us. it's been emotional for the entire team and it's amazing to be a nation to be part of this, but then school. but right now we're all disappointed and we wanted to make that final become well. so this is a great, great disappointment though the nor so. so food need tons,

daughter in store school, her but the night belonged to england, whose funds parted like it was 1966. to make sure you do 2020 come home rather than going to rome, england have to overcome it. it's really team unbeaten. in its last 33 months, but you can be sure their funds are confident that they will do just that the historic evening in advance. their mark meadows is with me from d w. sports also an englishman. so as a disclaimer, after it was a controversial winning goal though, right. what do you make of that? well, we'll come to what do we, what do we talk through the game? and then i'll say my point of view, but yeah, it was a bit soft. we can have a look at how the game as we pan down now, what type of goals and we finally denmark to lead. the 1st goal in the conceded in the, in the german from dom god, great for the 1st free kick of the entitlement as well. bizarre then an equalizer

for england that was an own go go these the top floor and the total and we've 11 goals. it's been more on golden this tournament that all the of the european championships put together at the penalty. there we go. terribly taken by hurricane sage, you put in the rebound. was it a sport cake? this is the big question mark. every denmark time will tell, you know what the referee gave it. the video assistant referee said, yes, it's penalty. as an englishman, i say it was very, very soft and for a semi final, a major tone, maybe too soft. but england fans will say the we lost 3 semi finals since $966.00. we deserve this bit of luck. and i think most neutral fans would say pay okay, then given that after putting an end to this, the semi final jinx england now face easily on the final home advantage is at wembley is going to be great atmosphere of course counting the goal the way well

the fans that we've seen dancing on bosses and stuff. pharmacy said hey, we'll do. and i know a lot of people outside england don't like in the fan, same football coming home. they think it's arrogant. yes. ok. the, the, the game was codified in england originally, but i have to say, it's not always said in an aggregate way. it's often meant sarcastically and humorously and ironically. but if you're in a final why don't bring it home. but yes, italy, our tough test of the, the 33 games and they are probably ma'am, from a better team than england. but with $60000.00 england fans behind you, it's probably well going to be so tight. this one might, you know, she's, i think it's not united german, i keep my fingers crossed for this particular case. not meadows d. w sports there for us. thank you. this is the w news. here's a reminder of our top stories organizes of the tokyo olympics. have now agreed that
