stomach for public took my brother hostage a few days ago, but at the trying to sign in the most seen on the job, they won't be silenced. starts june 3rd on dw, the . this is dw news live in from berlin tonight, going for the green, ukraine's black sea green export deal is being extended. russia promising safe passage where ukrainian vessels exporting food products to a hungry world. also coming up tonight, dozens of european leaders say yes to a plan to make ma scale pay for its war against the crate. we'll take
10:01 pm
a look at how that could possibly work and the fight for a quality in uganda. we'll hear from some of those affected by new legislation that targets the l. g. b t q. community, the library jobs, our viewers watching on cbs in the united states and to all of you around the world . welcome. we begin with russia, ukraine, and food. a deal that allows green to leave ukrainian fords. today was extended for another 2 month start these president. tell you, richard, try your better to one. announce the extension of the deal, which was set to expire tomorrow. thursday. the agreement between russia and ukraine gives safe passage the cargo ships, leaving the port of odessa on the black sea that before the deal was broken by 2 or
10:02 pm
think of the human last summer. russian worship said preventive grain from leaving ukraine and that drastically pushed up global food prices. earlier i asked you to use dorian jones and his temple if the turkish president had explained why the deal only got side with less than 24 hours before the deadline. a well known really i'm president, project type odd one, made the announcement, drawing a national ball costs to the country. he said that he signed the assets of ukrainian, or russian governments along with united nations that they have successfully achieved another 60 day extension to these great in deal has to be said that uh, this was a little very dramatic. that was lost out of stuff. in fact, earlier today, the last ship under the previous agreement had set sail counting 30000 tons symbolically going to the suit on. this is what the oldest grain deal is about helping the countries out in the world of the most in need. but there isn't a surprise that russia was going to drive this to the very why they see this really
10:03 pm
as an opportunity to exploit the international uh, getting concessions from the time. so community like people, not knowing they really expect advice or not to sign ups or fedex, ancient because it really is the only piece of leverage russia has on the international community. but russia has its own democracy. it's always insisted that this deal has him for fulfilled all of its tons, part of the remote walls that russia would be able to ex, both eat some grain on ulta. crucially, it's fertilizer, most of all q. so to, under the deal, at the moment, those exports on occurring because of the international sanctions that prevents international payments to russia to russia is excluded from the switch system. but the united nation say that's a load of rubbish in the american and parts of the united nations last week said, bush's ex bolting mold grain. and so it's the eliza book, even before the conflict started. now that work was, is going to continue, and we are expecting a similar last minute to negotiations 60 days from now when the deal expires in the,
10:04 pm
during the there is a turkish domestic element to this story isn't there. i mean, this announcement comes just days after the 1st round of turkish presidential elections. we've got run off elections in 2 weeks time. it's important for everyone to be seen as an international mediator. a successful mediator isn't now that's why the timing was perfect for uh, it was in fact to coincide with his 1st national address as a presidential run up campaign kick sol, unable just on the line part of a key part, a visa campaign message that he's a world leader, the rest of the world has to listen to him, and no doubt the greenville was a major diplomatic, successful one, and the enter key, and the fact that is now being renewed coincides topics we vote on it will be use, will be use most of it going forward and it has to be set. the other one is in the unique position. he's in good terms with ukraine exporting weapons to them as well as rush of law enforcement, many of the western sanctions. so i think both of the leaders was happy to play
10:05 pm
alone with helping. i was wondering this campaign you'd have used to read. joseph believes tonight from this danville during as always. thank you. what do you use the kind of leaves in cuba? he explained earlier wine, great exports or an economic lifeline for ukraine, and you told us how the war is impacting global green shipped right. versus i guess this is crucial 3 kinds of calling, but i think it's almost as crucial to consumers around the world to really so prices skyrocket last year as those ukraine exports ground to hold you had seems last year a farmer sitting on mountains of grain, they just couldn't get out of the country, no cash coming in. unable to buy supplies as to so unprepared in new crow, this is crow. then you had shoes. choose the blackboard as people trying desperately to get it out by truck or by the river boat, but none of those were really big enough to have to kind of shape or anything that like the kind of capacity needed. now, yes, this is working,
10:06 pm
but it's nowhere near business. as usual, the russians keep using all the numbers. they have to try and delay these shipments . it's still much more complicated and expensive than it was before the war. and then when you're looking at your credit as a whole, you have to remember that this deal is just about food was you came to the right sports metals. all the other kind of crucial export products are still trapped inside your transport as well. having to be shipped at so she's cost by land, by truck. so this is no kind of normality here. this is just to kind of exception that i think russia was forced to because of pressure from customers. see training great in asia, africa who have better relations with a friend that was dw, the connelly reporting from keep the green deals extension is a relief to many people in parts of the world suffering from severe food shortages . the agreement has already seen or the 2000000 tons of great exported to countries . indeed, such as somalia, ethiopia and kenya were for years of drought have left millions of people on the brink of fam, the w's, felix, marine, your reports tonight from kenya. this is all that running
10:07 pm
a has left for myself, 6 children and i evidently husband she has to make impossible calculations and difficult compromises to try to make it last. i do have a lot of problems. we sometimes decide to sleep without food. i don't know. so that the little we have but takes us through the days before more food aid comes. so this here we are rationing for the sake of these young children. today i move of veronica, sometimes mix. i leave some money selling these girls she makes. but it's a constant struggle and she's the ones responsible for keeping her family from dfcs . that would 8 is a lifeline. but she doesn't know when more my time right. and one of my relatives died of starvation. sometimes people become sick here and they have nothing to eat to flood when you take them to the hospital. they say she is
10:08 pm
weak and hungry and doesn't have enough blood in her body. that will not my mortgage. this is as far as aid has come to a few crucial miles away from their own accounts. these families got lucky, they'd be able to each to night and keep some for the coming days. maybe has 10 children to feed may, but the last donation here was about 7 years ago and i am doing what snowflakes up with the organization folded up. and we never benefit it again on a number for me. and also when the kids don't have food, they survive on wild fruit. so no, no, no, that's all there is here. and i did because he has, yeah, as yak. and as a form bias with a drugs have aging the horn of africa in many households on such end of when they will get the next meal. these families. yeah, i'm happy that if for the nation has given them a list of life,
10:09 pm
it is this and such and t that makes planning aid more difficult. so it'd be for option eh, means that the, the people who are doing who monday to and support, we'd have to dig deeper into accessing the same supplies and communities for the house was on the bundle community. so they, they, they went for counseling. so they don't have a spite at all in terms of the budget. the implication, i'm definitely going to commodities that a lot know eventually in front of the boss, once we've got a 4 bedroom. okay. and how many boxes each day without a to bring cl service on a little closer for missing pretending to help me with the supplies that yeah, has been pushed. i need to find that. are we making a po, 10 pay for the war against you? great. that is what leaders and more than 40 countries want to see happen. leaders

day. against homophobia, by phobia, and transferred the organizers say, the rights of l g b t q. people are increasingly at risk in some places. well, many countries have pass legislation recognizing the rights of transgender people, or same sex parents. others are rolling back projections. now protests are taking place across the united states. as you see right here are campaigners, a hundreds of new laws have been passed which take away the rights of l. g, b, t q. people as well. this week, uganda is parliament passed legislation targeting the community, leaving many people, fearing for their lives in questioning whether they need to flee the country. after less than half an hour of debates, uganda as parliaments passed one of the world strictest n t l g b t q bill the. i'm going to be on the page to set
10:14 pm
the decision was, you know, what i most made some little make cars using them. i meant to go on the attack after seeing the us even major corporations previously can the different part of his legislation. process, your mass profits, all of our news, all of our choose. we have a deductible to deal with dot com and not the safe house for lesbian women in the capital compiler stop follow red to using residents to be more discrete, which in some cases means changing how they dress and behave onto the new draft flows. the death penalty could be imposed that those found guilty of certain same
10:15 pm
sex acts. anyone seems to be promoting homosexuality could also face up to 20 years in jail. make you look at yourself in america, so you give them your name to clear my, my rainbows off because of the, the bank i'm kind of like so you have to select your flooding, jewelry, everything because everybody's just on, on that and dangerous. i know that proposed to measure that applies to people to the full time that's sent to an activity. it's now been amended to only require reporting when a child is involved. but despite the bill, not yet, but coming low to some it's just too dangerous to go. hi. it's a friend and send me a message to let you know what people are talking to a bunch of weirdness. be say i, you know how it was that it steps like that. so they wait for you to come back and do whatever they want to do to you because you're, we're not allowed to be in there. so say it because i said looking to leave,
10:16 pm
you got the role together with people already asking if this refuge about help seeking a saw and them approved. there is some hope here though that the l g b t q activists will challenge the draft legislation in the quotes and when with a similar bill over time by uganda is constitutional quotes in 2014 who my next guest is neela goshen. she's the senior director of law policy and research it out right international. that's the human rights organization. the documents discrimination against l g b t i q people, you know, it's good to have you on the program. we know that the community is there and legislation of course can not make people disappear. but talk to me about the effect that last like the one in uganda, the effect that they have on the l g. b t q, community. thank you for having me on the cell phone for paying
10:17 pm
attention to the fact that today is the international day, again, homophobia by phobia, inter phobia and transform. yeah. well, all of us are fighting against all of these phobia as in fighting for equal rights . and just as within society, it is clear that there is also a political drive to invisible guys and erase our communities. and that's exactly what was like the line you're going to are trying to do. so the one you gone to at is most extreme includes the death penalty for some forms of conceptual, same sex conduct. but it also includes other provisions that after that attempt described as resulting in in that for eligibility i q people in making it impossible to exist even with the death penalty words included in the law. right. and so this kind of registration makes it illegal to speak up on behalf of eligibility i q, right? it makes it illegal to rent rooms to algebra, 2 q people. it's a institutionalized, as discrimination. and so clearly the messaging that i know how that was supposed
10:18 pm
to enforce the career identities are not perform allergies, but we are of a social diversity has not that in and governments like the government of uganda would have a not exist, you know, report to the speaker of the uganda and parliament who is in favor of this anti that would you be to bill said i'm quoting here, the western world will not come and rule. uganda. it'd be that that's, that's the problem isn't it? that you have countries, particularly in africa at the moment, who view the rights for the eligibility to community, not as human rights, but as western rights. how do you change their to yeah, i mean that's, that's clearly something that is poetically successful or has been for many politicians in africa. they won't answer for ways to distance themselves from the west, and also to present themselves as protectors of the people inside the stirrup. a
10:19 pm
moral panic were pretty far the enemy that needs to be crushed by any means necessary. so i think the way that we fight against this is by building alliances. we know that when eligibility i q people are targeted and particularly we've all good target civil society by cracking down on freedom of assembly association expression. it makes it harder for everyone in your garden society to speak their minds to organize to a so c, h to protest and governments are really strategic about that they, they go after our communities, one of the time, one mind or you know, time. but ultimately what they're trying to do is shut down to say, yeah, so if we can build bridges to other community. so this is something on an activist . so trying to do, to demonstrate that we're all better off when we push for more freedoms and we don't that governments take our freedoms away. that's uh, you know, we really need to build mainstream support for us to get you actually quoted. you know, we have see, for example, in russia and president putin, he's pushed through a band on, on what is called l g b t q on propaganda in turkey,
10:20 pm
we've got president aero ones election campaign speeches that were filled with anti gay and lesbian sentiment. and talked to me about why it seems that all the chronic leaders are targeting the eligibility communities in their campaigns to yeah. and there's a really strong connection between autocracy and the tax on sexual rented under diversity. and i think that for a couple reasons, one is like i mentioned before, autocrats are seeking to control the population. and one way they do that is to a sort of divide and conquer, right and make one portion of the population, the enemy of another portion of the population. so that people mistrust each other . and people believe that their leaders are the ones who are going to save them from one another. and that's a kind of a kind of political messaging that can be really appealing and that we, we need to fight against. i think the other thing is that sexual and gender diversity and rights related to sexual gender versity do go hand in hand with this
10:21 pm
broad range of freedoms we have been gaining in terms of the criminalization, for instance, right in 4 countries. last year we won algebra 2 extra people won the rights to engage and conceptual, same sex intimacy, and the numbers of countries, but criminal allies are going down. but then this, the attack is coming from another side saying, you can't talk about these issues. you can organize around issues and that is incredibly convenient for autocrats to kind of progressively narrow the sphere of topics that society is allowed to talk about and organize around. yeah, because ultimately median said that human rights was, it was a independence civil society. it's just just somebody that altogether. yeah, and i think, i think it's important you mentioned that there has been progress. unfortunately, we're out of time. if we have more time, we talk about that progress, we will do that the another time need to go to with outright international. we appreciate your time and your insights tonight. thank you. the turkey
10:22 pm
has its, i'm in germany's ambassador following the detention of to target you journalist here in germany, the turkish foreign ministry and calling it an act of harassment and intimidation. german officials to say that the 2 men who worked for a pro government torcous newspaper were not arrested but briefly detained while their apartments were searched. police say the operation was carried out as part of a preliminary investigation, as i asked about political correspondence. so, i mean young people are these journalists and what do german authorities think they did? yeah, so in the early hours of wednesday morning, police in the state of hassan in central germany. and i searched the homes of 2 men, journalists working at the frank foot bureau of the turkish newspaper softball. and they seized electronic care storage, media, and some other evidence. and subsequently these men were afraid to go. now this is
10:23 pm
paul, have an investigation by state prosecutors into what was described as an allegation of compromising dissemination of personal data. so what's behind that? well, in the past. so by has published personal details in particular about a turkish journalist who has been living in germany a, a, a man. he's publish many videos about what he alleges, corruption by president ad one and those around him. i added the just a few months ago, they published a photo of the building where that journalist was living on their front page, ran a story, accusing him of, of being a provocative air and a terrorist. so there have been concerns for that. journalists, a safety and i think it's in relation to that, that we seeing this investigation, this police action and all of this, the reason that the turkey,
10:24 pm
some of the german ambassador, i mean, that's a strong reaction, isn't it? it was literally the surface far administer administrators said the german police activity is, is unacceptable. they say it's harris summative journalists. and they say it's based on the complaint by one person, the person that they identify as being part of the what they call the terrorist google and organization, which they said was behind the 2016 at 2 attempt. uh, so they've done all sorts of things like taking off the gym and ambassador they, they talking about double standards because so they say germany preaches to the world about freedom of speech, but they are practice what they preach at. and they say that this was a deliberate act timed to coincide with the run of vote in the presidential election in turkey, i think is we're saying that the sub newspaper is close to the tech is state and
10:25 pm
the president at the one in particular. so it's perhaps not surprising that we've seen a strong reaction about what's been going on in germany database. so i've been doing with the least tonight here in berlin. so i mean, there's always thank you. it's at least 8 people in northern italy have died. others are missing after heavy rain caused major flooding. the amelia romani, a region has been particularly hard hit thousands of people there been evacuated from their homes. hundreds of firefighters have been deployed to help with the rescue efforts. authorities a warning there could be more on the way as the extreme rains continue to rachel ryan has overwhelmed the now southern regions of emilia romana and medicaid . after days of down pause, moving a dozen rivet specific banks of flood waters poured into nearby cities and towns. well, no, i remember an overflow happening when i was young,
10:26 pm
but now the situation is difficult. it's very worry wanted residents and some areas had to climb onto the roof to be re skewed and emergency crews helped with rubber days c. this is at least 5 service has deployed 400 firefighters and responded to 600 cools since tuesday morning. the risk use made more difficult by flooded and washed out roads, no push the screws that we cannot rule out the possibility of further breaches of river banks. as happened yesterday, we had to raise all coal to citizens to stay away from rivers. do not enter base model on the ground rooms for any reason. and for those who live near the river, to not go down to the ground floor. italy's government said it was following developments and was ready to help with release meshes. but with more rain full
