in the united dates, however, it is judged as being one of the most important reformist movements within islam. the leader of the movement, who has been living in exile in pennsylvania for a number of years, has been received both by president obama and by his predecessor, president bush, so he is very much appreciated also because he is considered to be a moderate, and he has really quite some influence, mainly in turkey. yet, he is really unknown in europe because there are millions of turks living here, but the public is not really aware about him and thinks maybe he is a dangerous personality. so far, there is no proof to this accusation. he has his own reformist agenda that many people do not understand, and also, he has been criticized. >> many are saying this is the government's worst political crisis since the prime minister came to power 11 years ago. will he survive? >> difficult to say. he is not really able to claim that the movement is just a bunch of lazy people not wishing to work. this is what he said about the protests organized half a year ago in istanbul are the secula

that is a message the united dates is clearly sending to russia. >> what about the athletes? how do they feel about it? >> certainly proud. it will be difficult to find the reaction from athletes. we have heard from billie jean king. proud to stand with the members of the lgbt community and is hoping for a watershed moment. one of the most high-profile athletes that will be part of the u.s. team is bodie miller, this gear. he said he found the anti-gay aws embarrassing. sports and politics do not often mix well. a good sign of that is what the u.s. olympic committee had to say, not even mentioning that two openly gay athletes will be part of the u.s. delegation. they said, this is an impressive and iconicficials athletes. this is a strong message sent by the united states to russia and to its president, vladimir putin. >> he was egypt's first democratically elected leader. could be facing execution. a court in egypt has charged mohamed morsi for conspiring with foreign groups to do terrorist acts. dismissed the charges as fabrications and lies. ofresponse from leadership hezb

. >> what kind of coverage is this trial getting in the united dates? has it at all reignited the debate over the death penalty? >> in arizona, and a lot of people know about this case. it really depends who you ask what they think about the case. i would say most people i talk to think that she is innocent, but it really has not sparked any kind of discussion about the death penalty. arizona is sort of in the midfield when it comes to capital punishment in the united states. there's other states that execute far more people than arizona. actually, the exact number in arizona since the death penalty was reintroduced in the 1970's is 36. far more in texas and oklahoma. the german community is very interested in the case as well, but it has not sparked any discussion about capital punishment. >> max, thanks so very much. finally, germans have a reputation for being sticklers for details, but this is taking things to a new level. >> the german soccer team has been scouring brazil for a hotel to stay in during the world cup, but it seems nothing fit the bil
