Someone has suffered. Of course the selection we run is a waste of time money and energy. And every day im faced with another smear campaign. But this is something we have to deal with.

Tens of thousands of students from across europe have gathered in the western german city. To call on governments to take bolder action in the Climate Crisis organizer said people from 17 countries took part in the rally it comes a day after European Union leaders failed to agree on a plan to make the blocks economy Carbon Neutral by 2050. Try this for future demonstrators are making a lot of noise the 10s of thousands of young people spoke with one voice they want to increase the pressure on politicians to act on the Climate Crisis to run 27 hours to come here from naples south of me. Because i think that the extremely important to denounce the situation right now. Its important that we stand together for something that matters to all of us i hope someone will finally listen it was Germanys Green Party is excited that so many people are demonstrating for climate protection. About a 1000 demonstrators made their way to the nearby village of fears and where they showed their support for the cause of one of the largest mining areas in europe. They want to influence politicians from civil disobedience the deliberate violation of law and i mean the impasse now and we accept the fact that we might get arrested because the Climate Crisis is so urgent it affects us all and thats why were deliberately exercising civil disobedience to demand a phase out of coal power. This week the entire western royal and a major coal mining region is the focus point of the climate protest movement. Now looking ahead to the womens football world cup germanys team is hoping to make it to the final and they have a crop of talented youngsters fighting to get there heres a look at the squad steen sensations ahead of saturdays match against nigeria in the round of 60. Julio drin. And lena obrador these 3 teenagers are making their mark on the germany World Cup Team 19 year old freiburg midfielder grin is having the biggest impact of the bunch scoring a match winner against china germany squad certainly appreciates the exceptional skill of these Young Players providing plenty of support. I think its about kind of really well integrated but theres no problem with that so many players around us to take us under their wing and coach us to feel like a really fit in and dont feel at all like im treated like a kid. The teen and 17 year old open doors have also raised eyebrows and their 1st steps are world cup they might be new on the National Team but theyre already experienced pros. Theyre already established bundesliga players theyre still young but they have lots of talent its great to see what german womens football we have to offer for years to come were looking forward to that yeah well if germany are to win their 1st world cup since 2007 theyll be hoping given the youth brigade can retain their top form heading into the round of 16 clash with nigeria. As weve seen germany are among the favorites in the turner and in just a few hours theyll kick off the round of 16 matches in france and here to discuss that and world cup news is dave brown in germany versus. What can we expect yeah as you mentioned germanys are pretty strong favorites for the world cup itself which also makes them favorites for this match as weve just seen theyve got a really compelling mix of young hungry players who are bringing a lot to the table as well as experience proves that have been there for years and have kind of seen it all already and that balance is really shown on the field theyre on a 15 match unbeaten streak coming into this game which is you know theyre not always talked about as favorites i think theyre a little bit under the radar but they were so good in the group. With 5 different goals scores 3 wins 3 clean sheets i think the expectations around them should be pretty high especially going into this match against nigeria nigeria for their part of course theyre underdogs going into this match as you can see their celebrations when they found out they were advancing were really spectacular so theyre excited just to be there but they should really well against south korea and also were on the wrong side of a controversial penalty call against france so they should be you know tough enough for germany to face down an interesting match however however plays out another match favorites australia versus norway what do you foresee yeah australia are another really strong team in this world cup but this one i think is a lot more difficult to call australia for their part they have some balance issues theyre a bit lopsided where their attack is really strong its really one of the best in the world cups and i think any team would be happy to have their attack but despite that i think norway you know will put up a fight ok thanks for that dave brown if youd have used fortes and a reminder of the top stories were following for you.
