german football federation president back he was forced to resign as well as german football legend franz beckenbauer they were allegedly part of a scheme that paid brides for votes to win that two thousand and six world cup bid now the german b. team here are trying to distance themselves and that they say that was a completely different team. to be transparent but that's really one of two things that's maybe costing a bit of a crowd for the other of course being the message to a standard that we heard about in the piece now the turkey speech he might well point to assess an irony that in the german bit it's talks about wanting to unite people no matter what their backgrounds. might well argue that those values only apply. still keys can send the dow to say the country is facing lots of economic problems they leave that is in freefall a can of stadiums big enough a sticky capable of pushing such a launch event. but you mentioned it here it really is struggling and we've already seen some big infrastructure projects canceled that will raise some alarm bells with you because a lot of the t

to try to get whatever you know concession that the german government can get and not just for german citizens i mean i find obviously it is certainly disconcerting from the german perspective that german citizens are in jail in turkey but also that elected parliamentarians kurdish part of ontarians elected kurdish mayors journalists academics you know i mean you name it that these people are injured and these are europeans to right because there is also council member and so i think their dens to be a holistic approach here not to single out you know sort of german citizens but to really pressure to add on to change of course you will never be a democrat he will make such you know he can we can expect him to say such horrible things in the future to when he feels himself bolstered but now is an opportunity now is the moment where europe can actually a german a ten save some lives really intercooler and that's that that's a historic responsibility and i think they need to take that seriously give turkey is currently in the grip of a major crisis major currency and debt crisis before w
