Saying more action is needed if the world is to meet Global Warming targets also coming up.

Tanks on the streets of horror and veteran leader Robert Mugabe under house arrest the army denies it staging a coup but uncertainty about the situation is growing. Plus a resoundingly yes in australia to Marriage Equality of belief in the gay and Lesbian Community as more than sixty percent of poll respondents vote to legalize same sex marriage the Prime Minister is pledging to make it wall by christmas will he succeed. And the biggest airplane deal in history has just been. At the dubai air show ill bring you up with all the details in our business segment. And sarah harmon welcome to the show its good to have you with us. Needs of finding threat of our time thats how the head of the u. N. Antonio terrace has described Climate Change is one of a number of Global Leaders attending climate talks in bonn the leaders are hoping to inject a sense of urgency into the discussions about the implementation of the twenty fifteen Paris Climate Accord frances president a man. Called on all countries to accelerate the shift to cleaner energy while german chancellor Angela Merkel said the paris to accord was just the beginning. Well thats why this year has been a very important for each and every one to do his or her side and also to make this contribution is a compromise so we have to be seen as you serious and accepting paris as a starting point but also knowing that our work our work has only started and said that if we look at the cast test refuse that we see all of the world natural disasters and we are aware of the fact that this is a very tight and one that we need to take seriously that we need to match our words with deeds we here in germany will put a lot of effort although it might be controversial so im not saying this sort of just like that easily and saying well you have to do something i know i know its difficult i know its difficult to fight for it so i wish all of you who are standing up for Climate Change be it as representatives of state vs as representatives of n. G. O. S show the necessary courage and goodwill and thank you for listening you start craft. Thank. You d. W. Scripts for spring gate is a Climate Conference for us in the city of bonn Christopher Good to see you we just heard german chancellor Angela Merkel saying the paris quien agreement is only a start so what comes next. Well without bomb there is no paris by that i mean that parents twenty fifteen agreement that is the historic agreement that everybody talked about two years ago a huge leap forward for Global Climate policy but whats happening here in bonn over these past two weeks is basically the spade work thats needed to implement the Paris Agreement the Paris Agreement in a sense is like a constitution as you know constitutions need to be interpreted they need a whole slew of rules and regulations to implement them and that spadework that nuts and bolts negotiation thats whats going on at this Climate Summit in bonn i understand that there is broad agreement on a draft of what theyre calling the rulebook for the Paris Agreement the next thing after this summit finishes is next years Climate Summit in captivates in poland that is where the worlds nations will sit down and look very closely at that draft of the rulebook and agree upon it ok earlier we heard the french president manuel making some specific suggestions for europe to take on a Stronger Leadership role when it comes to fighting Climate Change tell us a little bit more about what exactly is proposing. Well some of it has to do with funding present mccraw. Addressed frontally the lack of funding or the gap in funding that has emerged because the u. S. President on the trump has announced that the us is withdrawing from the Paris Agreement in terms of actions the us has stopped much of its funding going into some of the International Organizations that deal with the fight against Global Change one of those organizations the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change the i. P. C. C. That is the main. Body where scientists get together and achieve consensus on the science of Climate Change and based on what they. Decide is going on with our climate and how its impacting the world that is the scientific basis upon which political decisions are taken at Climate Summit so the us has stopped funding the i. P. C. C. As its called and present mccraw basically said europe is going to step up and. Plug that gap that funding gap and hes also saying that altogether the gap in funding that has emerged because the u. S. Is pulling out if we all stand together we can plug that gap ok so a lot of negotiating about the nitty gritty of how exactly Climate Change goals are going to be achieved but of course christopher we also heard a very poignant message from a young school boy in fiji talking about how Climate Change is impacting his generation. Many of us it today is in doubt the mission thats it from Climate Change is real. Serious and hes growing overnights i dont if im a president of america missed the Barrack Obama he states and i quote Climate Change is no longer since a lot of it is that but here it is up to me now and yes ladies and gentlemen hes. Is real it is not a medium i you mean you do things like this have you done to me what will happen if you cannot this reality these days it isnt gentleman speech didnt cause me lots of the problem but walk the talk is more effective mindset and set up in combating this environment do you on next generation. All right you heard the boy you have to walk the talk to you think delegates got that message there in bonn. On the delegates here in beaumont i mean obviously there are National Delegations who. Shall we say not very cooperative when it comes to fighting Climate Change and agreeing on the science that says that Climate Change is caused by man by humankind but you know most of the delegates here committed to climate to fighting Climate Change so it definitely did resonate with them as the fijian president c. Has resident resonated with them throughout these past two weeks. One one thing that the fijian bringing to the table obviously the perspective of a small island nation the first small island nation to preside over this kind of Climate Summit and that perspective is one of the most Vulnerable Countries to Climate Change is giving. The people that they represent a very powerful voice in these negotiations are giving voice to the vulnerable there in bonn thats Christopher Spring date for us thanks so much. At least fourteen people have been killed in flash floods in two coastal towns in greece people were woken by torrents of water raging to their homes after a night of heavy rain the Prime Minister has declared a period of national mourning. This is a site very few people are used to seeing but especially great. To rancho rain is rare in greece and so is flooding on the scale. Of. The waters trapped many residents in their homes of forced them to take refuge on their rooftops. Risky services say it remains unclear how many people are missing particularly in coastal regions west of athens where a number of people were swept out to sea. Some residents have begun to assess the scale of the damage many are overwhelmed. Souple forgotten everything was knocked down broken nothing was left standing even the doors the bathrooms the bedrooms everything was swept away everything ive lived here all my life and nothing like this is ever happened before. Authorities have declared a state of emergency in the region hardest hit by the flooding at the foothills of the mountain in western attica. Many housing settlements in the area a build without taking into account planning regulations in athens the prosecutor has ordered an urgent investigation into the deaths and destruction caused by the flooding but you also say theyre investigating possible urban planning offenses. Well theres growing uncertainty about the situation in zimbabwe president Robert Mugabe is under house arrest right now the military appears sort of seized power but did not is that its staging a coup the head of the African Union told the a. F. P. News agency though that he thought the crisis quote seemed like a coup and he called the military to halt their actions the soldiers took over a National Television station to say it wasnt a coup to both our people and they will be beyond our borders we wish to make it abundantly clear that this is not a military takeover of. What these men were Defense Forces is doing is to pacify do you generate the political social and Economic Situation in our country which if not addressed made use in your own it com. But with tanks and military vehicles blocking off parliament and government buildings in the capital harare it sure looked like a coup. The fate of president Robert Mugabe and his wife grace is unclear but they appear to be in the custody of the military who sent the family was safe the military intervention comes out to months of power wrangling about who will succeed ninety three year old mugabe he has ruled the country since one thousand nine hundred ninety but is last week mugabe fired vice president. He was widely viewed as the heir apparent and backed by some of the countrys most powerful generals that sacking seem to clear the path among these wife grace to be next in line some welcome the military for now seemingly stopping her. Says that development in the politics of our country in this fight is allowing the military to fight sports and but i think its also a sign over the liftoff zimbabweans because from the looks of things that it listed theres been a stop to the family dinners the agenda that was being propagated by bye bye bye bye obama got he and his wife with zimbabwes economy collapsing for some in harare the focus remained on getting by. Throughout this situation all we hope for is peace we dont want to be disturbed in our daily work we want to survive when the culture of the. Frustration has been growing in zimbabwe it used to be wealthy but thirty seven years of mugabe have left the economy in tatters and the question of who will take over to try to repair it has now been blown wide open. Often one joined now by reverend kenneth batata he was recently appointed general secretary of the Zimbabwe Council of churches reverend thank you for being with us is this a coup. Yes i think that is a mental floss which. What we know right now is that the mini toddies in charge of the media its. The way people are supposed to move. Its just admit tough language what could be code but what we know for sure at the moment the military assumes to be in control many s. P. s of life balance or seems to be control of many spheres of the like you say could zimbabwe be facing yet another civil war reverend a so with us yes i can hear you im wondering if you think zimbabwe could soon be facing another civil war. This is a lot of good just fia true but as things look at the moment it looks like hes a unified getting old lots of opposition they may call. I think we lost the audio there we do apologize to our viewers who are listening to reverend kind of matal to who was recently appointed the general secretary of the Zimbabwe Council of churches unfortunately we lost audio to harare we do apologize but coming up we have some news in the business just gobby our it has been a good day for air bus a great day for airbus air and definitely a historic one airbus has just struck its biggest deal ever in the wake of reports of weak sales of its a three eighty super jumbo it now received a juicy order from private Equity CompanyIndigo Partners from the u. S. The order is a big one but for smaller planes though four hundred thirty single planes from the a three twenty neo family for a whopping fifty billion u. S. Dollars that would provide indigo with state of the art aircraft for several low Cost Carriers it owns a north and south america and here in europe. But those planes are too slow lets speed it up what about a london to new york flight in three hours it still sounds a little crazy but a u. S. Startup wants to bring back supersonic airplanes fourteen years after the legendary but unprofitable concorde stopped flying the new supersonic generation of airliners should be faster quieter and above all more cost efficient it all adds up to a real super sonic boom at the dubai airshow this could be the future of passenger flight the new supersonic jet called boom traveling at twenty three hundred Kilometers Per Hour it would be faster than any other passenger plane ever built and with fifty five seats one of the smallest. For now visitors to the dubai air show can only see a few small models but its turning heads and i think supersonic can only come from a newcomer if youre boeing or air bus your economic incentives are to iterate on the same product you are making for decades for super time to come its going to have to come from a new company there of only ever been to supersonic airliners and they proved to be expensive impractical and even dangerous but today many of the hurdles that plagued the t one forty four and the concorde have been overcome concorde was a technical fix thats an economic failure fifty years later weve got new technology a carbon Fiber Composites a turbofan engines which allow you to do supersonic for seventy five percent less than concorde talk there have already been seventy six orders if everything goes according to plan the first planes will be delivered in six years the number of eylandt in the world for the susan attract new product. Limited which will might like to go because Trans Pacific trans atlantic perhaps to kill or at school them again how Many Airlines will be buying that thats a more complicated question but its makers say its a product for a lucrative need a flight across the atlantic in the boom should cost around five thousand euros within the budgets of Business Class travelers. Well in venezuela is surely approaching bankruptcy at supersonic speeds now the cash strapped country has signed a debt restructuring deal with russia it will ease the terms and conditions under which in this way that must repay some three billion dollars it. The deal comes just a day after Credit Ratings agencies standard and poors and fitch declared the south American Country to have partially defaulted on its debt. Venezuela isnt paying its bills and is already in partial default now its over to a four hundred twenty Million DollarInterest Payment the deal with russia will help fund that at least but the three billion dollar amount is nothing compared to the countrys sixty billion in bond debt despite the rot in the domestic economy the countrys central bank has been considered a reliable bond issue were always paying on time as recently as sunday president Nicolas Maduro said his country would never default his Communications Minister making clear where the government places the blame. For a year say need three financing for venezuelas foreign debt has begun in a coordinated manner. We are clearly overcoming the siege at the trumpet ministration National Assembly president julio baugus and other representatives of the right in venezuela are attempting in venezuela. The fabric of Venezuelan Society is beginning to tear a few months ago the u. S. Imposed sanctions on venezuela the e. U. Has followed suit with a weapons embargo and travel restrictions on some government officials desperation is mounting economists estimate venezuelan inflation is running as high as seven hundred percent food and medical supplies are scarce as the country scrambles to save money. Five percent of its exports are crude oil imports an overwhelming majority of its food and so. Things that are immediately when imports are slashed. Investors are demanding a default declaration for the state oil company p d vs a to do to its own financial mismanagement a country practically swimming in oil is now drowning in debt. To a company drowning in bad news now more troubles for German Authorities raided the offices. Several senior officials at the controversial automaker this time in connection with an extra high salary paid to its Works Council chief ban all started prosecutors say that could amount to an illegal waste of corporate funds and a form of tax evasion the news comes just after v. W. Was also accused of collaborating with brazils former military dictatorship. Its all for business but its now back to sarah because australians are saying love is love love is love thats right sixty percent of australians backed same sex marriage in a nonbinding poll on the issue and the government now says its going to make same sex unions legal other end of the year law prompted celebrations from campaigners across the country. She is of jubilation in australia. And some spontaneous proposals as its announced that the majority destroyed voted for gay and lesbian people to be able to marry. I mean everything to hear that its right sixty one percent the o. G. T. T. Were just going to love and were just so thrilled and happy thank you its right thank you so much yeah. In mice and so high as thousands gathered in parks around the country to celebrate the results of the National Postal service. It marks a watershed moment for gay rights in australia where it was illegal in some states to engage in homosexual activity up until nine hundred ninety seven its been a really special moment its and its a similar with my mom and i think. Its the point you know history or way of saying. Weve got resoundingly for a. Country that is so special. The voice is nonbinding but destroyed his Prime MinisterMalcolm Turnbull said parliament would now legislation on the bill. I voted yes for a commitment. They voted yes for love and now it is up to us here in the parliament of a strike idea to get on with it they get on with the job the australian people of cost us to do and get this done this year before christmas. If the bill passes muster and it would be the twenty sixth country in the wonton legalized same sex marriage. A lot was in the air as australia looks set to become country number twenty six lets take a look at a map now to see where else in the world same sex marriage has already been legalized now if this bill does pass the Australian Parliament the country will be added to this colorful mix of other countries and many australians have been taking the social media to celebrate this survey is a landmark result for more im joined now by our social media editor jared really great to have you here youre from australia what are your fellow countrymen saying about this online love is in the today but before the result was announced there was a lot of nervousness and a lot of excitement about what the result would be and thats given way to big relief we can look at these pictures posted on social media of tias hogzilla brysons marriage proposals people and families coming together to celebrate the queerest rally and its a moment of massive pride tonight that hopefully very soon theyll have the opportunity and the freedom to marry its also important as well to remember the struggle of older australians to push for this like this woman even god whos seventy five she told the guardian ive been fighting for this for fifty years and its so important to remember these older australians whove been fighting for many many decades theyve lived through experiences when being gay was illegal when they feed for their physical safety for their employment and for more vulnerable members like the Trans Community in australia as well this is a really big day for them to a big day but at the same time just under forty percent of australians voted no so clearly not everyone is celebrating this thats right primarily the biggest argument the campaign had was that legalizing same sex marriage would have implications and consequences for freedom of speech and for what children are taught in schools about gender and about marriage but it seems overwhelmingly australians have rejected those arguments and because of that. Prominent supporters of the campaign say dull respect democracy and the result but under certain conditions one of those groups is called the coalition for marriage theyve posted this statement to facebook calling on parliament to ensure that any same sex marriage law ensures the proper protections for parental rights freedom of speech and beliefs are in place so sarah now we move on to the next battle what will same sex marriage in australia look like all thats really needed really is a slight tweak to the existing law that defines marriage as between a man and a woman there are a group of conservative politicians who want exemptions for religious organizations for Service Providers so its going to be really interesting to see if they get their wishes and whats going to happen next in the palm an ok the legal wrangling begins but on a personal level how is this going to affect gay and lesbian australians well speaking as a guy astray and someone who hasnt lived in australia for about five years now it has felt like a strain has been dragging its feet when you compare to some of the other countries we just looked and many people have been also very upset that they have been subjected to this yes no Campaign Like this woman here her name is Rachel Newman she tweeted my love is beautiful my marriage is sacred my family is perfect i didnt need a postal vote to tell me that people are relieved that weve got this far speaking for me personally im thirty four im from Western Australia and Western Australia had the third biggest turnout for us so. Looking back at fourteen year old jared for example i couldnt have imagined that we would get this kind of result that weve got today and i think its a pretty good a big day for you jared thank you for speaking with us so personally today on to getting it as our social media editor. Well still to come on our program multinational corporations are said to be doing little or nothing to prevent providers of using child labor ill speak to an a c. International about their latest report. And germany and france played out a highly entertaining draw on tuesday evening could one of these teams potentially win next years world cup.

But im back here watching dude of the news our top story. German chancellor Angela Merkel tells the un Climate Conference in vaughan that the paris the core is just the beginning and that more measures are needed to halt Global Warming. And at least fourteen people have been killed in flash floods in two coastal towns in greece people woken by torrents of water raging through their homes after a night of heavy rain the Prime Minister has declared a period of national mourning. And Zimbabwes Army has seized control of the state broadcaster and deploying tanks on the streets all right its denied this is a coup against telling the leader rather not god it is a power struggle over who will succeed him in ten years. Spains foreign minister alfonzo dastards has told d. W. That the government of a drib may have handled the constitutional crisis over catalonia naively but he rejected allegations that it was a catastrophic failure and an exclusive interview with Tim Sebastian on conflict zone justice denied the use of Excessive Force and blame the cattle on government for the lack of dialogue why did you let this crisis get so bad i mean there were so many opportunities to stop it along the way this is a catastrophic failure by your government to step in earlier thats your opinions led to opinion i dont think thats a good just perfect for you they may be may have been some. I mean we may have been a bit in a naive we didnt think that these people would go so far as to provoke the situation of division and fragmentation that they have provoking catalonia but thats simply their own responsibility but the fact is that the catalan expresident constitutional repeatedly and continually sought dialogue which your government turned to look he only sought a dialogue about the question of a referendum the date of a referendum and the date of liquor ration of unilateral independence all those things are totally impossible under the spanish constitution and for that matter under any constitution in the western world. Do you want you can watch that full interview here on d w coming up at seventeen thirty u. T. C. And you can see it online on demand just go to d w dot com forward slash conflict zone lets look now at some of the other stories that are making news around the world it looks as if the former Prime Minister of lebanon saad hariri is heading to france hes been in saudi arabia since resigning eleven days ago but now hes received an invitation from french president and Manuel Mccraw one report says he and his family will arrive in france in the coming days theres been suggestions that hariri was being detained by saudi authorities. Russian lawmakers have backed measures that would force some International Media outlets to register as foreign agents the move is seen as retaliation against u. S. Pressure on russias state funded r t Television Channel to do the same in the u. S. U. S. Intelligence has alleged that our team was used to meddle in the twenty sixteen president ial election russia has denied the claim. Iran state media has said the death toll from sundays earthquake on the border with iraq has now exceeded five hundred thirty people it was a rons deadliest clay aiken more than a decade more than thirty thousand homes were damaged many survivors have been camping outside and say aid has been slow to reach them. Obvious here now with more Business News and a bad day for the fight against child labor thats right actually a development that is really not nice to hear the International LaborOrganization Says efforts to reduce child labor have sloped there are about one hundred million fewer working children now than in one thousand nine hundred seven but the situation is not improving as quickly as it once was just lets see some examples this is the same time an Amnesty International is exposing many of the worlds Biggest Companies that accept materials produced with child labor and Human Rights Violations lets get an example of that just take the democratic republic of the congo which produces more than half of the worlds cobalt some of which is mined by children is found in many products especially in the batteries of smartphones tablets and electric cars especially in the companies building them or not doing anything or at least little to ensure their gadgets errant the product of child labor amnesty has singled out microsoft the leading chinese smartphone maker who are away and the french car maker who nor of which are not checking their providers but those are just a few major german car makers b. M. W. And especially dialer are also not checking their suppliers buying cobalt extracted by children in miserable conditions and to find out more about the subject we are now joined by lynn she is at Amnesty International an expert for human rights and also for business joining us here in the studio welcome to the w. And thank you very much for joining us. Now if we look at this report and the Current Situation do you think the companies are aware of these conditions or are they simply not checking this because they dont know. We can off course never be sure what these companies are aware of but we can be sure what they should be aware of and the human rights risks and abuses and covert mining with democratic republic of the congo have been well known for many years and with amnesty published a Previous Report addressing the very same companies two years ago so now it two years later still none of the twenty Nine Companies is carrying out human rights Due Diligence in line with International Human rights standards and many of them are even failing to ask very basic questions about where their cobalt comes from and the batteries so if Amnesty International research us can investigate these supply chains were sure that these powerful companies can do it too and however what youre exposing right now are these Big Companies but is that the right level to address this because i imagine that a c. E. O. Of one of these companies would probably tell you well you know look at the Mining Companies or at the governments that are more directly involved with the production of called. These companies so we are talking about they belong to the biggest and wealthiest companies in the world and their consumer facing kompany is at the very end of the supply chains and that means that they are in a very unique position to tackle the whole supply chain and because theyre big purchasing power this gives them a leverage over all their suppliers which could enable change in the whole supply chains so yes we think that the right wants to address these issues and to identify human rights or risks and their supply chains and take eight but we do also address governments including the government of the republic of the copper democratic republic of the congo and governments and their home states like us and germany and germany for example we have again and again called to make human rights Due Diligence mandatory because some of these companies theyve told us that they are not carrying out to human rights Due Diligence on colbert because they are not legally required to and that makes for a very strong case for a galatians so that not requirement of human rights respect is as well in germany and in the United States for example theres not require anywhere you are here in germany there is no mandatory human rights Due Diligence law that is correct now you speak this is very interesting about the dark side of winter knowledge because some of the batteries for electric cars are made with this cobalt are you suggesting that consumers should probably not buy a litter cars right now until this problem is solved you know well as a Human Rights Organization it is not our role to tell consumers why they should buy or what they should not buy bad i personally strongly believe that consumers do want to make ethical decisions and do not want to profit from child labor and other human rights abuses so the companies should be more transparent about the steps they are taking to tackle these human rights abuses so that consumers can make informed buying decisions so. Would you say based on that that a consumer is ready to pay more for say a cell phone or tablet or an electric car if the cobalt with which the battery is produced is created and produced under more socially acceptable conditions i very much hope that they would be willing to pay more but to be able to make this decision its Companies Need to take additional steps to be more transparent coupled supply chains and we definitely do need to tackle Climate Change and electric cars for example i want step toward the same that theyre Clean Energy Revolution needs to be also clean from human rights abuses thats certainly true thank you very much from Amnesty International for the insights. From cooking used to bio diesel palm oil is everywhere but it has a very Bad Reputation when it comes to the environment vast areas of forests are often cut down to make room for plantations destroying habitats and contributing to Climate Change now a Small Company in sierra leone e is trying to do things differently. This is what Palm Oil Production mostly looks like in Sierra Leone InternationalCompanies Grow large monocultures lundy first to their areas using lots of chemicals in the process its terrible for the environment. But palm oil can also be produced in less harmful ways. Sorry sesay runs a small family farm. The oil their fruit for twenty five years but they cant be harvested until three or four years after planting so its a long term investment. And i mean as gimmicky i decided to go into Oil Production my only as a go but this will be my pension and we can harvest it until i die at that so much. His family is large and they can harvest the fruit all year round. What theyve garnered here earns them around ten euros. And the parts of the plants that cant be turned into oil are used to make natural fertilizer. These oil plans are organically grown out of necessity. Back. I dont use chemicals and besides i dont even have money to buy any i mean much so we rely purely on our own traditional methods. Among say the palms he grows pineapples and cashews they not only provide food for his family the crop to versity is also better for the soil. Today sorry sesay has a visitor its mohammed come are from the dutch Palm Oil Company in Natural Habitats the group produces its own organic problem while fruits but also buys from the farmers. Embarking on their plan to show him in the form of developing them should i use bottled sea or mean its really really advantageous how long does it take you to grow up plantation and then start the process and so we decided to go straight to the farmers who already have a plan to show and send in a system developed asking this ultimately to p. C. I. Used. The companys oil mill is close by oil palms are high yield giving four times as much oil as some flowers perhaps there. That makes it cheap and widely consumed almost every other product in supermarkets from cookies to face creams contains palm oil most of the royal press here is exported but the amount is just a fraction of that produced by Large Companies can the organic palm oil compete can definitely bond with them it is in when we have pretty different form of for auction we are going to be our conventional and being organic if you are a premium and the market. Fourteen hundred farmers like sorries say are part of the Natural Habitats network of Certified Organic growers their number is set to rise as the worlds hunger for palm Oil Continues to climb. Thats all from the business desk im going to head back to sara for the latest sports action. Well for soccer fans next summers world cup twenty eight is just around the corner and the final competition slot is about to be decided in lima home side carusos new zealand after the two teams drew neil and wellington last week who are desperate to qualify for the first world cups and two and theyve even turned the sunshine law like rituals to give them a little edge. Chanting and a traditional put. Into doing everything they can to inspire their team to world cup qualification ahead of perus crucial match against new zealand local shamans are going all out to give the home nation an extra spiritual boost i was not only going to win dont worry were giving spiritual strength from these three regions the Coast Mountains and the jungle these native snakes perf yams and flowers a full perot. Of course on field preparations will count to peru with the favorites and have home advantage but i still have to execute their game plan. Will try to become to show our skills we know it will just be like the game we played in new zealand no doubt theyll push themselves to really go for it we just have to keep the ball moving. For new zealand the nation more obsessed with rugby than football the pressure is off and theyre confident they can overcome their underdog status this team is used in difficult situations in fact i would say were probably more suited and more resilient away from home than we are at home just as the shamans have done their work but now its time for both sides to take control of their own destinies. Well from all the upcoming world cup im joined now by quest harrington and i did have a sports does cross welcome always a pleasure to have you in the studio i need your pick whos getting that final spot. Well you know the shermans have me leading proves way because number one they have Home Field Advantage and we look at the fee for overall ranking they are ranked tenth the first leg new zealand were at home it was level a draw no score at all so as we heard of the report both teams have had an absence from the world cup new zealand was in the world cup more recently two thousand and ten they were actually the only team out of the entire pool of thirty two to be undefeated though they didnt really walk with incivil where that is an accomplishment both squads are young both are looking to rebuild but i do think Home Field Advantage when you consider there is no away goal disadvantage for peru to deal with you have to go peruse way and if they do when they will know they will claim their victory they will make the Day National Holiday following panama did kudos to them they made their first world cup and so did iceland so were looking to see would have been smart money is on the shamans lets talk about big disappointments here though what seems shocking even us and not qualifying in italy and speaking of italy there is breaking news their head coach john pirro ventura just got canned he only had a two Year Contract but its no big surprise because italy right now is completely devastated this whole bedlam because they are so closely related to their football persona to have them not the world cup for more than six years is a huge blow but ventura did have a questionable lineup in the two legs against sweden huge considering their four time champions of the world cup thats a tough pill to swallow if you are a talian or a lover of football or even if youre just the world cup that italy sort of a fixture there definitely is not only do Going Forward well theyre going to have to do some soul searching thats clear and one name in the hat is carlo and so latino we know carla and lucky most recently was the coach admired that didnt work out so well so he is available we have to see what the Italian Football Federation does moving forward but i do think he will be a good fix to try to repair the total bedlam and i could be a good fit what about this. Longer it seems in this turn that german is a favorite you see them repeating you know its tough to call germany this because you know brazil was a last time team repeated and they had paley ok pelayo we all know that isnt football germany i think they have struggles up front you know team of and it is a solid striker but i dont think hes really ready for the International Stage to really make an impact in terms of repeating i do think germany does have some heavy competition i like france you know france is a team that is fast fierce young thriving in hungary they were finalists in the european championships so i do think theyre thirsty for more thats one team that i have all my money on france are i mean the world cup are probably here want to watch all right well talk about this later france is where the money is that is cross harrington from our sports desk thanks so much ok. The friendly against france was coach you know him those last test in twenty seventeen and both teams came out lively after half an hour and the marcial dance around nicholas and played in alexandra like is that. An easy tap into good friend so one no lady. After the break it was time to produce a bit of magic then a taking advantage. Finishing with aplomb through the cape his legs fifteen minutes later france were back in front like his thats once again put through and go.
