Against him like germany feelings or on board of that because of most of those whom it was oh sure i know there are lots of reasons why germany were knocked out and they must all be addressed but blaming it all on is truly despicable its just not acceptable to god that he shouldnt be needed to take the heat of the trouble of the childish i think everyone in this case should reflect i see few people who in my view have acted more or less correctly in the streets. Around here most mystified. And also coming up on the Program Indian activist challenge a colonial era law that criminalizes gay sex a law that leaves gay men vulnerable to police abuse and sexual assaults with limited legal recourse. Black males extortion rape had us human. For both of them just commit suicide just because of that they would be outed by the by the community. But first we begin with sports politics and Race Relations converging in germany and the debate is raging after football star miss it quit the National Team saying that he has been a target of discrimination ozil has turkish groups and says that he faced quote racism and disrespect especially following germanys shock exit from the world cup he also took aim at the media and some of his sponsors accusing them of double standards its the first time that this footballer has spoken publicly since meeting turkish president recha type error the one shortly before the world cup that meeting proved controversial in germany with many questioning his decision to meet the authoritarian leader and his subsequent silence was the criticism fair or are oses allegations a wake up call for german politicians and the media our experts will weigh in straight ahead first a closer look at what he said. Didnt mince his words his three part Statement Released in english on social media not only announced his retirement as a member of the germany team but also heavily criticized the German Football Association known as the d. F. T. And its president. He called for negative comments on islam and multiculturalism words have sparked a wave of reactions in germany. The d. S. P. Have said they regret israels decision and can see their failure to adequately support him but aim to continue their integration effort and fight against racism. Chancellor Angela Merkel spokeswoman said the german leader had kind words for. The german chancellor has the greatest respect for him as he is a talented Football Player who has done a lot for the german National Team and he has now made a decision we must respect. But the German Government appears divided over the controversy because. I dont think the case of a multimillionaire living and working in england tells you much about germanys capacity for integration straight endorsement. Of racism on a daily basis need to be taken seriously its not just israel but also people involved in sports who suffer this we should really do something about it in turkey has received overwhelming support the turkish Justice Minister said the footballers departure is a goal against the virus of fascism an advisor to turkeys president. Said had taken a brave stand and there is no excuse for racism measured israels comments are likely to add to an already raging debate in germany over integration multiculturalism and the countrys relationship with its immigrant population. And we have Team Coverage of that debate now joining us here in the studio is Chris Harrington from sports desk we also have our Political Correspondent simon young welcome to you both and id like to begin first with you simon because we have some very strong allegations here from mesut ozil but hes already been getting some criticism a fair amount of criticism we have to say for them right well thats right i can show you the newspaper here germanys mass tabloid lets go to on the front page it says yumo. Rick trade sort of we need gene resignation and it talks about him taking revenge in these in these tweets to these issues it which hes you know sort of pointing out that he feels that hes been the subject of racism from the media from the german footballing oath or a tease sort of goes through them in the newspaper and sort of points out that probably most people think that message was a bit naive if he thought there was no political impact of having his picture taken with the turkish president during the turkish president ial Election Campaign so you know theyre theyre being pretty tough on him and you but theyre taking these allegations i think seriously at the same time so the implication is there is that the allegations are not valid but you know id like to just drill down into some of them and get perhaps another protector from you cross because one of the allegations is of racism at the top of the d. F. T. And we have to say does he have a point here the Organization Says now right here they released a statement you know echoing the essence of mitt saying the d. S. P. Or German Football Association to have been associated with racism is something they emphatically reject and they decided there are countless work that theyve had to do with its a great effort in germany for years is reasoning why you know these races claims are unjustified for whos ill and then they went on to say that we stand for diversity from the representatives of the very top to the countless people working a grassroots levels each and every day and they. Obviously did think it was ill for his years of service you know and they are grateful for that but it response to this photo that sparked all of this controversy they said that you know they did heard they would like him to explain his actions. Which he didnt do to satisfy them obviously because they did criticize him as well and that photo i mean of of course the criticism began with that photo basically taking this picture with the turkish president right to. The head of the turkish election back in may was that naive would you say simon i mean because you know it was used for example by by the party of the turkish president as essentially a political endorsement well as i mentioned i think that if youre going to have your picture taken with a with a senior politician gere in an Election Campaign then there has to be a political impact to that of the president says hes just a footballer the only talked about was football but it seems there is also been pointing out in these tweets that low to mattel yes the sort of star footballer from the one nine hundred ninety s. For the german National Team he had his picture taken just a couple weeks ago with Vladimir Putin doing the world cup in russia and he says oh no the german media havent criticized lots of materials for that its not entirely true actually even the bit so i too which loads of materials happens to be a columnist for said you know it was a bit dodgy being photographed with a no socratic figure like that so i think football is nowadays they know that they are certainly at the top level of the game they know their kind of badge kerry isnt flag kerry is for their nation and for the game as a whole and they have to be a bit careful when they enter the public arena chris id like to ask you a little bit more about the t. S. B. Itself because we have to mention you know has not been the only critical voice of the organisation where does it go from here and i mean what example is it setting right now for. You know young multicultural players of the future which my. I have concerns because those all himself i mean hes been a figure hes been a symbol of the success of integration in the country right in terms of the criticism the d. F. T. Has received the byron chairman to make a call them a bunch of amateurs you world cup champion for germany philip echoed the same sense amid say that they need some more professionalism in dealing with the newer generation of players now in regards to. Where the d. S. P. Goes from here is that they have an uphill battle i mean you know just taking the example of a player if those case prone up in guess and kitchen a blue collar neighborhood a city here in germany you know well integrated in the community aside from being muslim of course it just says anyone who looks up to him might follow in his footsteps and feel disrespected by germany in the same way he said hes feels disrespected now you know do this backlash hes received to simon just briefly before we go on just because id like to be a little thought here another allegation of that he faced racism and disrespect from the media following that photo with the turkish president also saying that theres a double standard for his sponsors was that fair well i mean its an allegation i think people are taking it very seriously you know as chris has said hes hes done a lot of important work hes been a standard bearer for the Integration Programs of the german football or storage fees and so on so hes got a right to speak out if he feels hes been treated badly but on the other side you know there are other people saying well hes hes got his opinion as the foreign minister pointed out rather on diplomatically hes a millionaire he lives in london maybe his case doesnt really speak to the whole situation in German Society having a political correspondence i mean young and from our sports breaking down this debate telling us how it is shaking out here in germany thank you so much to both of you. Ten. Pins are rising again between the United States and iran with the us President Donald Trump tweeting iranian president Hassan Rouhani that he will face dire consequences for threatening america iran state owned news agency dismissed the u. S. President s tweet describing it only as quote passive reaction to romneys remarks everyone has a history of using heated rhetoric against the United States but recent comments by president rouhani appear to have crossed a line for donald trump to michoud was you know. Dont play with the lions tail that would only lead to regret you will forever regretted. The u. S. President took to twitter to send a warning to tehran using capital letters for emphasis never ever threaten the United States again or you will suffer consequences the likes of which few throughout history have ever suffered before. On sunday u. S. Secretary of state mike pump a. O. Also had harsh words for terror on. These socalled moderates within the regime are still violent Islamic Revolutionary women and the america and the west agenda you only have to take their own word for it. The verbal standoff comes months after washingtons decision to abandon an International Deal with iran that was aimed at curbing its Nuclear Program relations between the two countries have to to rewrite his sentence. Donald trump has been known to fire off controversial tweets to International Leaders stoking fears he may escalate already tense International Conflict with a couple of one hundred characters tronic sample north korea the famous war of words between kim jong un and donald trump ended with an unexpected summit between the two ladies experts say this is unlikely to happen with jim rohn. President rouhani has suggested peace is still possible and comments made to iranian diplomats he said americans had a choice between quote the mother of all peace and the mother of all those with iran. And joining us now here in the studio is political analyst by a specialist on Iranian Affairs welcome. Is this a mere war of words or is there more to it when i think we are seeing this escalation of rhetoric since ever since Donald Trump Took Office so its going on for some time and it increases the danger of unintended conflict up until now its only words but it can lead to real confrontation what do you make of the iranian leadership response i mean do you see an appetite for further escalating the situation i think the appetite that we can see is that they need to really around the flag moment in iran right now a country with a lot of different crises and external threats or the best thing you need for internal cohesion so i guess in that regard there is an appetite for it but not more than that on the u. S. Side of course the u. S. Has announced its withdrawal from the Iran Nuclear Deal and id just like to talk with you about the impact that that has been having on iran itself how big is the impact that announcement i think a lot of hopes were dashed a lot of hopes were dashed that with. Is agreement which took years of the plumber see. A new phase of constructive engagement with western countries and with the us can be reached that could help the economy of the country to recover but that certainly hasnt come into fruition and that is a source of frustration for many when the as for nationals where sanctions were lifted back into the sixteen we saw a bit of a recovery within irans economy itself but not as much as many had hoped what would you say the Economic Situation is right now there are a lot of different challenges starting from unemployment to low purchasing power of the average citizen that has partly to do with the sanctions that still are imposed on iran it has to do with a lot of domestic problems in terms of economics and economic homework that has not been done and certainly with the return of sanctions which is what the u. S. Has announced it will this situation with the rule exacerbate what do you make of the u. S. Response what you make of this twitter diplomacy that we have seen well on the one hand we shouldnt be surprised because that also is something that donald trump the International Politics has introduced at the same time we should never get used to it in the way that we are not outraged by it than i would actually hope that some european voices would really push back on this kind of rhetoric adopted by western official who want to thank you very much political analysts ive done by specialists on Iranian Affairs a pleasure. Britains foreign secretary jeremy hunt has appealed to european negotiators to take what he called a more constructive role in braggs that negotiations speaking in berlin hunt warned of a very real threat of a no deal brights it by accident. Thats a worrying prospect for some People Living outside of europe to were heading out to the small caribbean island of and will out which is one of fourteen British Overseas Territories residents there didnt have a say in the brags that vote some on the island now see the result as a chance to push for independence from london. Well as part of our road to braggs it series our correspondents visited and willa to gauge the mood. As ships docking in britain six thousand five hundred kilometers away from the british mainland were in one gorilla one of britains six overseas territories and the caribbean people here have to import nearly everything even their Drinking Water and this port is a life of language. Is not only because this is the only kabul border so. If for whatever reason this port closes on. Angola and its just like those no. Most of the goods come in via the e. U. Or more precisely from a port just fifteen minutes away on the French Island off some of. The neighboring islands have close ties but no breaks it is threatening their relationship. Wifi that we insulting because it will be affected directly. Water has been soft water for years clears and we are concerned that you know that doesnt present a situation by the president in the negative so local radio host a. J. Hammer is angry that and will let it not have a say over bracks said since residents could not vote will break it affect us he and some fifteen thousand other islanders will lose their passports should london come up short in its bid to secure a good breaks a deal and were less residents worried that they will be among the biggest losers will and should have had an a chance to participate in the backseat and that no other people should decide on going straight but then britain has been. Increasing homemaker managing what i think is it fair to us. That means we have no say because if you take the economy of bengal and you take the Budget Amendment has to be approved by england so we are just puppets india and the whole thing yet another waste britain. Is less involved since Hurricane Irma devastated last september many homes still in ruins the states coffers are empty and the planned reconstruction is funded by the e. U.
