i mean, i used to work in italy. i left there exactly 10 years ago and who was italy central defensive partnership. 10 years ago it was georgia, kia, lini and the and other neutral exactly is today and they are and actually will the pair of them. so it's going to be very difficult for anyone to beat them in that final. and the final is in london as well as last night's game. and of course, because of corona virus restrictions, it's been almost impossible for italians from italy to get there. but as we saw last night, that is quite a large italian contingent there in london, and they absolutely loved it. let's hear some reaction from after the game. oh, jubilation. italian styled the country's u. k. x puts brought wembley a taste of the exotic, to the extent betrayed more than a hint of local flavor. oh, he's been 53 years now without you being caught on it. it's about time to win it and we kind of bring it home with no penalty issue. so it's really propelled their team to the final where they hoped to win 1st europea

she joined us now by the on the phone a. renee, thanks for joining us. can you describe for us what happened in listen? well, like you heard of that report, right. it was so sudden it comes after incredible. he'd like close to 50 degrees, which is on heard up in western canada and from you know, report from the, the folks in town. it just took minutes. it was the early evening and before you knew it, they saw the smoke and then they could feel the heat. and then some reports that the flames were traveling like 30 kilometers an hour just from one end to the town to the next. and they didn't really have a lot of time to respond or you can even see some footage of some cars at an intersection and they literally don't know where to turn. did they turn left? do they turn right? it was just chaotic scene. and we've also heard that people are now not being allowed into the town for obvious reasons. how is your station been reporting this disaster while like a lot of other stations. so we've dispatched our reporter to a town where people are congregating after t

some are even using vacation days to be here. the call was put out for volunteers online, and together with friends, he had a simple but clever idea. >> we collected pces of information that were already circulating on social media in german, then we translated them so that arabic speaking people cod understand. once the information was out, everybody wanted to help. tessa: a group was created online and hundreds have signing up every day. >> i was very surprised when the numbers started to go up so quick. i now am 100% sure that it could go up to 1000. and when i imagine this place here with thousands of people helping out altogether in an organized group, that really gives me goosebumps. tessa: that kind of help is desperately needed here. these homeowners, like many people in the region, have lost almost everythin in these dire times, the support given by the young man is highly appreciated. these guys really sacrificed themselves for us, africans, syrians, everybody. they worked all day. for them it went without saying, they

so tell us a little bit more about the sky rocketing infection rates there. well, it's complicated as always with a panoramic, but experts point out 2 main factors. first of all, delta, of course, contrary to many european countries, spain decided to lift all restriction on traveler from the u. k. in may and experts agree that contributed to the record spread of the data variance yet the 2nd reason is big party. some weeks ago the feeling was saying that the panoramic a basically over and the threat and with the spirit of the upcoming summer season. so lots of young people went on with it for dis, no huge ends of the party. and they turns out into huge super reading events. in one case on the island of my york out 600 students got infected in one evening. we just heard john phillip, that france and greece, you know, in response to, to rise in case numbers there that they are now making the job mandatory for some groups. how about in spain is something similar being considered well, some spanish regions that have a lot of political autonomy talked about such i

i, i use this is dw news lines from berlin. indian health officials found the alarm over yet a new cove at 19 variance, some fee, the foul spreading bill to blossom drain could be better resisting immunity. and a 3rd wave could be on the way. we'll hear what the experts have to say. also coming out. the us president joe biden takes up the mantle of console in chief, as he visits those affected by the florida talent block tragedy. the places federal assistance for 30 days as the search for victims continues. and will easily fans have something to care about when they take on belgium in the road 2020 tournament later today. on grappling with fitness worries i've been to, if they help play as well preview their quarter final game. ah, i'm rebecca versus welcome to the program. we begin with some breaking news just coming in the united states. defense ministry says all fallen foreign military force members have exit in the background military base outside the african capital kabul. a senior pentagon official told news agencies that all american soldiers and members of nato forces have withd

the prices for us have doubled. only about 5 percent of indonesians have been vaccination so far, and the official number of infections has quadrupled within a month. experts, as you many cases go unreported because indonesia only tests for covert when symptoms are present. you're having a high positivity rate, meaning that you know, the people that you're testing on in some areas of java, out of 10 people being tested, 9 people are being positive bodies also in lockdown due to the high number of infections. the popular holiday island was actually supposed to reopen as a muzzle region for international tourists at the end of july. but that plan has now been postponed indefinitely. as europe gradually lift restrictions club in the netherlands and celebrating clubs and live music venues are open. once again, i report a sampled, absent as world famous night life as it sprang back into action. a warning, this report contains flashing images, dance, floors, hunting, base, dots nightclubs can officially reopen welcoming b

linda felt the whole nation has supported us. it's been emotional for the entire team and it's amazing to be danish and to be part of this school. but right now we're all disappointed and we wanted to make that final become well. so this is a great, great disappointment. so so food need tons, daughter was going to but the night belonged to england. whose fun parted like it was 1966. to make sure you do 2020 come home rather than going to room england have to overcome it. it's really team unbeaten. and it's last 33 matches, but you can be sure their funds are confident that they do just that i'm not wrong that certainly what england will be hoping for. joining me to discuss what was the historic evening for english people is mark meadows from dw sport mot . quite a controversial winning goal there. what did you make as the game was very tense, a semi finals always. we can maybe have a look now at some of the action and what you free, what happened in because we did the 1st go the tone when denmark league, great, free kicked from d

or you may need to stop working for us. brent: professor, what do you think this discussion, the fact that we are having this discussion, what does it tell us about the state of humanity at the moment when it comes to thinking of the welfare of others and our level of empathy that we have in reserve? is it a negative picture that you are seeing? dominic: i don't think it's a negative picture. i think people have been through this pandemic concern for others in their community, for their family, and for themselves. they have been trying to make sense of what has been a very scary change to their own lives, to the lives of their community. i think the most difficult situation are those who are firmly opposed to getting vaccinated and following the rules. of course they are free to do so but there are consequences of our choices. and those consequences might mean people cannot do all the things they want to do. because they pose a risk of spreading infection. brent: yeah. consequences is the important word there. professor dom

oh, i i use me use ah ah was, ah, [000:00:00;00] was, ah, was, ah, every day for us. and for our planet, little divide years is on its way to bring you more conservation. how do we make cities screener? how can we protect animals and their habitat? what to do with all our waste? we can make a difference by choosing re for station over deforestation.

tell us about that. oh, well, yes indeed. so some of the last semester penalties were targeted online quite a lot of racial abuse and that has in tongue had another strong reaction on social media. so for example, the prime minister johnson who raised the abusing some of the players that they, you know, they should be a shame that they shouldn't be. they shouldn't be called football fan something. and that they and the footboard association themselves, you know, they, they're saying that there is no place for racism in football. and it's really quite an interesting story because this is a very diverse team. and the players have taken the need in the past and, and sometimes not happy with that some, but i think a lot of people already seeing that actually as, as something positive that this is a, is a diverse and, and, and in a way, you know, progresses team as, as some people would say it and, and there's also been a lot of support and has been remarked that, you know, the english flag was recaptured from the far right. and i

this land belongs to you and us. the russians were here at left and then the americans came and now they have left. this country is ours and we will protect it even without pay or equipment. meanwhil the taliban are gaining evermore ground in afghanistan. over the past weeks, they've been on the offensive, releasing propaganda videos and taking control of many districts. it won't be until the last u.s. troops pullout on september 11 that the world will finally learn what the have planned. michael: let's get more on that with a professor of the practice of conflict management and american foreign policy programs and research scholar at the middle east institute. he joins us from washington, do you see -- washington, d.c.. what does the withdrawal of troops mean for this debility of the region? guest: it introduces enormous uncertainty. obviously, the taliban have already been taking advantage of the lack of american action against them. advancing, especially in the countryside, but in some important towns also. meanwh

when it comes to foreign policy it's getting harder to work out what the use stands for. my guess this week is almost pipe nice to share. your time is foreign affairs committee. can he play my such a powerful block of nations? seems to punch so far below its weight on the world. on the w. a greedy power operating globally, the big business is brutal. we can't pay the price to get the drug res. i'm side effects. oh please listen carefully. don't know how to listen to the go. i feel the magic the discovers a world around you. i subscribe to w documentary on you to me . russia continues. why elation of international law and human rights when it couldn't really be much worse their behavior couldn't. there are steps always can be worse. why was the e u so it will prepare to one of the most the complicated issues for european foreign policy. is there any point in pushing ahead with enlargement plan the perspective to get the member.

it gives us much more freedom and it's nice to finally, you know, corona's over soon, hopefully. and yeah, i think it's important. it's still not settled because other countries have still not, not all of the countries of garden that got into opportunity to have the vaccines. but hopefully we'll be able to go sound down to the very end has driven infections to levels not seen in israel since april, mainly among vaccinated people. because we still have a nice amount of people dictated young people that could see here were increasing affects nathan, them young people that can be vaccinated and we still see a portion of the elderly people and not feel vaccinated for various reasons. some vaccination people also have been infected to now the number needing hospital treatment remains low, although i think is a rising. so we do see people who actually acquired the delta after being immunized and they can transmitted. yet there are chances to be severely ill to be hospitalized or to die or slim. so we, so we definitely see a very important role for the immunization use. railey governmen

of us policy toward haiti. we asked him what he thinks needs to change in order for international support to be more fruitful. well, i think that what we have to do is work with haitian civil society. broadly speaking, the legal community, the bar association, the human rights groups, the catholic church, the protestant church, the political parties, the unions in the business community. and i think they are working right now as we speak to come up with a plan for a consensus plan for a caretaker government that would take power, calm things down, restore order, and build a pathway to restore democracy. you can't just say have elections, have elections, have elections when there's no legitimate government where there's no security for the people to go to the polls. when there is no electoral council capable of registering the the whole population, we need to build up the conditions for us to f. ganesha. and now where the departure of foreign troops in recent days has led to a fierce fighting for control taliban

richard mcgregor joining us from the low institutes. thank you so much for your insight on this chinese and 10 ari of the communist party. we appreciate to the u. s. now where the american actor bill cosby has walked free after a court overturned his sexual assault conviction and ordered his immediate release, he was the 1st u. s. celebrity sent to prison for sexual assaults since the beginning of the me to movement. now 2 years on the pennsylvania supreme court decided that cause they never should have faced charges in the 1st place. after striking a non prosecution deal with a previous district attorney. and just like that, bill cosby was free. his car sped by the walls of the pennsylvania prison in which he'd serve 2 years of a 3 to 10 year sentence before arriving at his home in nearby norristown. after being helped from the car, cosby gave the camera signal v for victory. his attorney was similarly triumphant. i am thrilled and i am pleased at the pennsylvania supreme court. what we knew all along, which was that mister car being n

they are currently and already from yesterday using helicopters to search for dead in the area. german chancellor, anglo merkel, as we've been saying is to visit the area today. we're going to come back to you in a moment, julia, but we have some reaction from people dealing with a disaster. their 1st thing was, i think it's very important that our political leaders show up here on one hand to express personal sympathy, but also to get a picture of the situation on the ground themselves. and then if necessary to promise help financial hope or government help find a boon is there or via the technical relief agency. if they bring shovels, buckets and brooms, and lend a hand, i think it's fine that they come here. but if they are just coming, he's gone. i don't think that's okay. then they should please stay away. so julie, we heard some mixed feelings there. i think about visits by politicians, but look federal elections are just over 2 months away. could the floods have a political impact somehow? so it's not just only uncle america, he's coming here to visit. we've seen, i mean lasha,
