134-65. the president of u.s. soccer was overjoyed. on behalalf of our united bid, thank yoyou so much for thth incriblele honor. ththk you f for entruststing ush the privilege of hosting the world cup in 2026. let us alslso salute our friends from morocco. at the end of the day, wewe are all united in ththe football. that is the spirit of the world cup. the beautiful game transcends borders and cultures. sarah: for more, we are joined by clara richardson in washington and oliver from the sports desk. i with her to begin with clara, which is heard the head of u.s. soccer is not the only one who is overjoyed. clara: that's right.

soccer fans are delighted by this develnt and this is a sporat hth been growing inin popularity in the united states over the pasast couple decades. certainlnly since the u.s. last halflf to the woworld cup in i . there is not the same level of support for soccer as yoyou see elsewherere in the wororld in te men's teamam did not qualify for the cup, there is still the hope that the bid will rekindle interest in a sport that was just starting to take root in the united states. sarah: we have to sayay, perhaps some jubilation in north america but a sad day y for the morocca. david five times now, they have never one. why not? oliver: five times is an incredible number. in truth, it never looked like they would win this particular bid. it becece clear eararly on thatt fee for prefeferred thnortrth american bread foror a bright -- north american did for a variety of reasosons.

we also have talk abobout money. veesomoming from the north american tournament look to be much higher than a tournament in morocco. also the infrastructcture is already there for the north americans. the stadiums are in place whereas morocco wanted to build another stadium -- another ninee stadiums. it w was all set up for the nonh american bid. sarah: let's talk more about fee for. we have corruption allegations, supposedly a a cleanup is going on. tell us about the bid and how this boat was conduducted. -- how this vote was conducted.. oliver: it is v very different than we used to have.. gone are the days of the executive committee deciding this. thisis time around, we had 200 federations of voting for their chosen bid, electronically, we

know which federations but for which bids and it is a much more transparent process thanan the last time. whether it has completely rolled out corruptionon, we can't say t it seems to be a better process in 2010 when the upcoming world cup host was decided. sarah: in the united states, the president threw his weight behind this bid but at the same time, he has been critical of his neighbors when it comes to trade and immigration. some would say he is provoking them and diplomacy between these three is at a historic low. could this tournament have the unintended consequence of saving nafta, of improving relations? clare: saving naftfta perhaps going a bit f far but it is certainly nice to see these leaders united on the something. as you say, relationons between the alalliesavave been at a real low,w, partly becacause of a renegotiating nafta but also

because of l lot of the rhrhetoc coming out of the white house. donald trump's comments about x agagnst comingng into the united states when he calallethem rapipists andnd murderers drovea wedge. as w well as his repeated callso build a wall on the border. with canada, we just sawaw him insusulting the prime ministerr last weekekend, blamining him fa disastrous g summit -- g7 summit in which donald trump mamanagedo snubub allies by arriving l lat, leaving early, making it clear that he preferred to meet with kim jong-unun dan shine a shared statement. they are all coming out s saying this will be a wonderful thing to host together and it is important to relet trump is going to be long gone by 2026. sarah: we are not sure about that perhaps. [laughter]

thank you for joining us. oliver, you will be sticking around talking about one of the favos in darray after having sacked their coach just two days before the first game. >> it was meant to be the biggest week in his career. he was going into his first world cup at the helm of 18 favorites, spain. on tuesday, he had been announced as the next c coach of the champions league winner due to take over after russia. theeg sparked outrage a among the s spanish federeration and , >> hisisegotiationon's were leg. there is no issue with that but the federation was not informed about it. we were toldd five minutetes bee he released a press relea

we had to send a message to all employees of the federation. there is a way to proceed and we have to stick to our principles. >> less than a month ago, he had signed a contrt extension with spain, keeping him in the job until 2020. his last-minuteepla is spain's sporting director and former real madrid captain. sarah: talking little bit more about this shock news, bridges spain go from here? oliver: they are still a great team and i thihink they will manage to get a lot out of the team but this is stunning. we have never seen anything like this happen at a world cup, where one of the favorites on the eve of the tournament fires their coach. i can't think of an active self-destruction le this at a world cup in the past. we have had moments of madness,

team meltdowns, the federation action making the decision to worsen their chances significantly, i can't remember anything like this happening. sarah: we'll see how they cope in the competition. thank you for the perspective on this. a s an lafensive on yemen's main port city. it could be a turning point in the civil war. the coalition is trying to retake the citybels f backed by iran. they're pushing ahead with the assault despite grave warnings from humanitarian groups. thn. saythat the offensive risks causing massive civilian casualties and could threaten millions with starvation. the u.s. security council -- u.n. security council is set to adjust the issue tomorrow.

lelet's bringng in y yemen couny director with t the aid group oxfam. thank you so much for joining us. oxfam has a team on the ground. what are you hearing from them? >> whahal yemen has been in war, hunger, and disease for the past two years so this new development, the saudi backed ground troops with support t from the air and s advancing, the other side, t thy have gatathered around the sasae city. it is blocked. you see on m most hundred thousd people leaving. they are almost all trapped. they are in fear, tension, the do not know what is waiting for them in the future.

the services have to be shrink because aid has been late relocated. the eight organizations are keeping very few stafaff criticl for life-saving serviceses. you can imagagine that people wo have beeeen sufferingng and livg in a city where m medicine and food and other essenentials depd on the p port. when rea theattack occururs, the citizens are there. theyey do not knowhahat is waitg for them.. sarah: there is so much at stake here. we have heard that yesterday oxfam and 10 other agencies wrote a letter urging the british foreign minister to withdraw its support saudi led coalition if it attacks. we would like to ask about that effort and where you see it.

muhsin: that was a joinint lettr by almosa dozen organizizations in yemenen. we did not see any positives. we reall wanteted the u.k. to clear and clarify its position publicly. he coalition still continues tas, they have to take the leem accoulity and they can hold they said that they do have a obligation to protect civilians. it will l be a humanitarian catastrophe but until now, we are waiting. they need to ask these warring parties to stop this w war a ano back t to the peace negotiatnsn.

they have to make it very clear. sarah: thank you so much for joining us. we apprereciate it. as you mentioned, the yemen country director with oxfam. ity'w popust intr minister says an upcoming summit with france should be scrapped unless france apologizes for criticizing the country. they called the action cynical d irresponsible. france has gone into damage control, trying to calm tensions by saying it was committed to cooperation on migration. italy today did allow a vessel carrying more than 900 migrants to dock in sicily. >> and italian coast guard ship carrying more than 900 migrantnt

has sailed in. it had picked up menen, women ad children, many from suit on and molly during rescue missions. twoies re on board. y allowed the vessel to dock , unlike the aquarius, the ship carrying 600 migrants was stranded at sea for two days until spain said it could land in valencia, where it is headed now. >> as a european, i felt shame that there was a boat -- there is a boat in the mediterranean and for several days, nobody wanted to take these people in. this brings back memories of other people seeking refuge and being refused and being turned back and we know how it ended. sarah: with that, you're up-to-date on dw news.

>> like this ad campaign for a german supermarket chain. the retailerralke young youtubers to take part, including lulu and leon. >> in germany, product placement is banned for kids tv showsws bt youtube videos don't classify as tv. they ared that advertising must be separate from the videos content it does not work in ac >> when kids are involv then vy say, this is an advertisement, they have officially separated marketing from content. but it is not work for kids watching because it is the same person doing the marketing and the regular content. >> children are easy to

influence but even adults can find itt hard to tell w what is genunuine content a and what is product placement. the e latter can be very lucrative. videos by ryan toy reviews show, they must be advertising millionaires thanks to the channels reach and exclusive ad deals. >> when families want to add money from videos, it can create difficult situations. members might not want to be in front of the camera. that can cause pressure. >>'s or how much pressure is involved in producing five videos a week. for lulu and lay on, it ses to be -- lulu and leon it seems to ll a aut fun. >> it is a nice money -- a nice bonus getting money but we are many making these videos to express our creativity and

go bump in the night. while this creepy tales that we hear really just made up? jenny and tony don't think so. a couple from kansas run the real sto ghostes online podcast. it is a call in show where listeners talk about creepy encounters. >> i could feel the wind of the thing going by me. >> fans love these scary stories. ththey're almosost 2 million downloads each month. for about five euros, fans get spooky bonus material. that was the snapshot and now, tweeting trees. european forests are symbols of tranquility. there are plenty of sagas and myths involving the green wonderlands and now they get to tell their own stories. trees are taking to twitter.

>> this tree is 110 years old. it recently began posting tweets about its day-to-day life. today i have shrunk, it says. the he brainch of a fireineer at a belgian university. it monitors trees'vital signs using technology similar to fitness trackers but at 6000 euros to install, it is pretty costly. measurements of water flow are especially important. >> that is kind of like their heartbeat. it tells us if a treason good or bad health. if a tree is dried out and under stress, it communicates that to everyone on twitter. >> forests are crucial for our climate. the leaves absorb carbon dioxide and in its oxygen.

trees also filter pollution out of the air. the project monitors how much gh thetrees absorb throuir roots. capillaries and evaporates into the air through the leaves. up to 200 liters per day flow through a tree when the ground is wet and the sun is out. >> it is important to learn more about this. trees serve a purpose. they transport water, react to our climate and influence it. >> this beach is not the only tree on twitter. a pine tree in brandenburg also treats to its more than 1500 fans. and a poplar in a dutch town has twitter fans. this tree network is coordinated through a university. the trees are put under stress tests, the results help

forrester's understand the effects of climate change. they want to know how long trees can go without water for instance. >> when we consider which trees to cut down and which to keep, we can base ou decision on which trees cope best in dry conditions. the researchers are hoping to develop a drug wide network of treating trees that would help raise awareness for force protection. >> s shift says, let trees to be talking. do you want to find out more about the digital world? check out our facebook page. you will find all the latest news andrends as well as s apps and tutorials. shift reports are there, too. like us, post comments and give us your opinions at dw digital. as always, we the shift through the exit. our internet find of the week. this time tetris.
