we're live in budapest. hello and welcome if you're watching in the uk or around the world. it's the first full day of action in the tokyo olympics. 11 gold medals have been up for grabs on day one, including in cycling, weightlifting and fencing. but it was in the judo where the host nation, japan, won its first medals. mariko oi has the details. well, japan winning its first gold medal and naohisa takato injudo giving a very emotional interview just now, following funa tonaki, also ofjudo, winning silver and according to the japanese olympic committee her silver medal was the 500th medal for team japan in olympic history, so quite an exciting moment for her as well. a bit of disappointment in gymnastics with kohei uchimura not qualifying for the finals, but a lot of people will be watching rikako ikee in swimming. of course, she was diagnosed with leukaemia two years ago. she inspired many by qualifying for this year's olympic games. and let's not forget japan's women's football team, nadeshiko, up against team gb as well. and i think it is fair to say that the japanese go

but budapest says a efforts to overturn it will be in vain. and 5th thing, the measure is there to protect children has what european commission president on the line had to say about the needle. the disconnect stared homosexual law with homosexuality and gender reassignment on par with pornography. just because it's, it uses the protection of the children to which we are all committed as an excuse to really discriminate against people because of their sexual orientation. yet this law is disgraceful. that is gently the w correspondent, funding official, is in the hungarian capital, budapest, and i also how l g b t q people view the new law. actually you would consider hungry is a free country compared to so many countries worldwide that have been reporting from that. i've lived in and reported from but then you zoom in on this particular issue right now. you will find that a lot of people who live in hungary, who feel increasingly alien ages who feel would also free, who don't feel that they can express their opinion or live their lives freely

okay, let's go to george in budapest. well, george, russia always seems to be in the news one way or another. but it's an, it isn't a very different way this time. vladimir putin, the russian president, pen to very, very long article, a very studied article i would say about the relationship that russia has with ukraine now. and it's a, it's at the kremlin dot r u website. it's in english, ukrainian, and of course, russian. it is a vocal enormous outcry and discussion and obviously criticism here. why did he write this article? what's it about and who was directed to go ahead? well, i think the reason he wrote the article is that he is very concerned about the recent development of the, particularly since the, my dad and 2014 mainly the use of ukraine as a battering ram against russia. there's no sign of a baiting, whoever is in the white house is continued to be used and he wants to place in his story context. this has gone on for quite a long time. russia and ukraine, russians in the ukrainian people all want people arg

the let's go back to georgia in budapest. well, england merkel, georgia is finally finally leaving the political stage. you know, i have to admit, i had a lot more hope for her in the beginning, mostly for the reason that she comes from eastern germany and i now you play in retrospect, i'll be honest with you. thought that she could be more of a bridge, a beach for between east and west, and i was been proven disastrously wrong. ok. she's been in power along time. and i think she leaves with a pretty scanty legacy about a negative one. go ahead. george burst at the legacy really what she's been about is just staying in power, not making any decisions and trying to have it both ways of old times. so she goes to. 2 washington law trip to washington. 5 and sign a washington declaration with joe biden, which others, the usual nato piety is about democracy and so on. but basically, what most important, that, that name is the call of european security that she actually is here. and then she has the insolence to demand that russia c

thousands gathered in budapest to send a message of acceptance, unity and defiance. i think it's more important than ever to out onto the streets and show that we are together, we are joined in this fate date and fight for the rights and the freedom for lgbtq people. the annual parade on took on special significance this year after a controversial law was passed, making it illegal to depict homosexuality and gender reassignment to children. so that means, you know, books with gay characters and, it with gay characters in, it means advertising it means television programmes with any kind of portrayal or discussion of lgbt themes is technically against the law. the government has billed it as an anti—pedophile lock, as an anti—pedophile law, but these crowds say it's a move designed to divide. translation: this is nothing more than a diversion - that is trying to tear the country apart. i think it's provocation because of the elections. translation: the law is an outrage. - we live in the 21st century when things like that shouldn't be happening. we aren't in commu

okay, let's go to your 1st in budapest year. it's really quite interesting out the, by the ministration, endlessly talked about diversity, diversity diversity. and we see it in their politics domestically and now we see it since they had been to the administration pushing and diversity into the international system. which actually is really quite contradictory because diversity, in least nominally, is about having differences. but i think what we see here with the bio ministration is an extreme form of universalism, and they're covering it up under diversity because it's either or, i mean, it isn't returned to the cold board, but we are returning to a cold war paradigm. it is democracy versus authoritarianism in that ideological minds and it kind of makes sense. but in the real world, it doesn't make any sense at all. go ahead. george. it doesn't make any sense. so there is really the difference between the sort of diversity at home and superficial difference. because when the bite administration and ologist talk about diversity

but budapest is defending its decision. the more love less hate activist than hungry gathered in front of parliament to protest the controversial child protection law. they vowed to disobey the new legislation, this low thing that i had to be the q i people and it actually puts attribute the key. i use more at risk and more danger of bullying and harassment in schools and in their families as well. a provision in the law bonds, the display of content depicting homosexuality or gender reassignment to mine as it was passed in june by the hungarian parliament, causing widespread condemnation in the european union. president missed this cause that stared homosexual law puts her sexual identity and gender reassignment on paul with pornography. this law uses the protection of children to which we are all committed as an excuse to severely discriminate against people because of their sexual orientation to this. this law is disgraceful, that is gently. she loves fonda line, threatened consequences, as noise from greece. victor all

we spoke to journalist shaun walker, who is in budapest. i asked about the turnout and mood there. there has been a really impressive turnout, always hard to put a number on these things but definitely in the tens of thousands, some of the central streets of budapest were closed off and the crowd went for a kilometre or two going around the ring—road across the bridge over the danube. there was definitely a sense, an undercurrent of protest, anger, today at the laws that you mentioned. but really, the overall mood was quite defiant and celebratory. there was music and dancing, there were a lot of rainbow flags and other colourful flags and i think this was perhaps the kind of defiant turn out to show another side of hungary, another side of hungarian society that sometimes gets drowned out by the government, viktor orban and the right—wing party. after the pandemic shut down most of the film and tv industry across the uk, cameras across scotland have started rolling again, with the easing of covid—i9 restrictions. in edinburgh, the finalfew scenes are being shot for a new six

brent: for more, i am joined by a society in budapest to protect hungary's lgbtq community. what do you expect the european union to do now? >> i think the european union needs to stand together and act together. this has been going on long enough. this is not the first amendment and first bill that hungary has passed that goes against the right of freedom of expression, the right of freedom education, so i think the eu has to take steps very urgently, especially the european commission. i think they have to initiate the procedures that they have been waiting for for a long time. that is the only way they might have any effect on the hungarian government. brent: your organization is an ngo. you promote lgbtq rights. are you allowed to lobby the hungarian government over legislation? >> yes, in fact we are now turning to amnesty international and other organizations, and urging the average person to turn to the constitutional court to review this on -- ungraceful and illegal law, because it violates international human law standards. we certainly are lobbying. brent: were you

there is one mental one put up and in budapest you see how briefly they go about life and maintaining a jewish community of 60000 people. if you look at it from the outside, without going there might assume they're doing badly at the political situation is terrible today. and it is terrible. but they're making something at their own from it is what i don't just adapt to the regime. they had that own position there, establishing jewish life there because they think it will along our lives. the regime was evenings. on the other hand, you have a big interest in medic, racist movement. that in certain circumstances can lead to jews either assimilating completely or leaving leave aware of that. so you wouldn't have had the free decision to the thing and they've just lied to me. there's nothing holding them back in an environment that marginalize is all threatened. someone help us even if we're good examples of that on these trends in families and communities that are primarily concerned with the day to day long and not with big politic and just trying to establish a good life as best they

she will see them and with each other, and you can keep me giving every jewish person we talk to in budapest and help us. it's a great place to live there, jews, but also hungarians at heart in equal measure. see how great everything is. how fantastic life is here. it's very, we may not talk about or about interest semitism from the big party. i feel like it doesn't really if it's so, so it becomes that's just how it is. when you actually go into these places, you get a much more varied perspectives. when you click built in the outside perspective that we have from the media and perhaps doesn't correlate with what the people tell you. but maybe that just shows that the situation isn't black and white and it's neither right or wrong. the post, the great synagogue is this way. it's an exciting place for all of europe, really, because it's a place that represents a modern debate about 2 days. so to see which direction should be going from your should it open up reform, liberal law young about it was built a 170 years ago. after much discussion of august. it's the neo liberal synagogue. so not o

. >> budapest pride is not just a parade it. has already started and the march, the big parade is law is more about content. i asked if tv channels could broadcast reports on gay pride. he said yes, but he also said public television should not focus on the event, because of role of public television is to focus on family values. we just learned a hungarian copy has been fined for disturbing a children's book, the hungarian translation of an american book, a collection of stories about the daily life of rainbow families. for example, there is a story where little boy has two mothers. we od-- we don't know if they will appeal. but the law might have a chilling effect or people will be tempted to avoid publishing or broadcasting content which could put them into trouble. >> in budapest with the latest on that story. we will follow this issue closely on "france 24." as foreign troops withdraw from afghanistan, there are reports the security situation is getting worse. the taliban making gains in the north of the country, entering i
