bridge off it's good to have you with is your opinion. leaders are this evening meeting and brussels to decides who will take on the important jobs leading the institutions for the next 5 years. it's the 1st summit since far right parties made gains in european parliamentary elections and it began by sending a strong signal as leaders assigned a long term security agreement with ukraine. the w's which you yourself report. it's best for the firm show of support from the european union to utilize the signing office security pack between the ukranian president and do you read us? it is spelled out from is to support you train for as long as it takes and as intensely as needed, just because it took a minute to mind any particular way of

trying to lead the resources calling from gracia for those interests. you came from this reforms, point sampling, the area of security, intelligence and defense, without them used to lensky joins the national head. so if you use states and government and their summit to argue that everything is put to work immediately against russia's full scale invasion of this country, we will discuss today with the leaders, with lenders about our next task. and of course, uh the, the urgent things our defense, that is why and of course, all the packages, thanks to all the partners. what do we have signed the door accepted, but we need them or simply on the battlefield. fairly of this week, the 27 country block announced 2400000000 euros in military ad for ukraine to be delivered by the end of the year. coming from the prophets of russian assets ceased

in your talks on you train joining the you also officially got underway this week though the excessive negotiations could take years or even decades to conclude. but the lead us also preoccupied this big into and you questions like, who should lead the you institutions for the next 5 years, even before the stomach got underway and pre cooked deal was on the table. the 1st in the room. unfortunately, no sooner proposing different kinds of september, john i talking for the 2nd time via minus commission president. and kyla says hi, the house talks times with the dentist. all patients often not everyone's happy with that. and gary environment is debbie to all on it to these georgia. maloney are the most critical voices very using fire right parties which make gains in the recent european elections and not represented system to pick. the next step off to the latest summit is for the european parliament to have it say in

the coming weeks. so a possible a 2nd to him for was the last one. that line is this hot from identity or correspond to jeff perry. he joins me now from brussels. jag, how much in fluids do the for right leaders? how much influence do they really have at the end of the day when it comes to who gets these very important jobs at the top of the high brand, you know, as much influence as they would like to have set. and the we seen the italian prime minister, georgia maloney be quite unhappy and quite publicly expressive about how unhappy she is. that her hard rights grouping within the european political spectrum isn't going to get one of the top jobs. but the reality is, is that the sens risk coalition is going to form again in the european parliament. they are the ones that are going to be able to decided to be the top jobs. and the way this was here with the 27 need, is it that you were being kind of so none of them get to veto this time. we took

lots to e. u, summit somebody veto is the countries have to be on board. but when that dissing like these top jobs, it's done by a majority vote. so even if georgia miller, anybody's, against, sort of on the line, even if as we expect the hon gary and prime minister victim obama will also vote against they may choose to abstain rather than against then on the line can still get through and retain her jump the question is, what does that mean to have a european commission president who was not approved, especially the tale and that the biggest economy in the european union? it's not approving the person who is in charge of negotiating trade deals, for instance. yeah. well, let's assume the line does get another term in office and meet, what could we expect from her and from the commission for the next 5 years. so this is the play that the italians will try and make. we know that the on the line is planning. if she gets back in to set up

a new unit within the european commission that will look at security and defense. and that unit is expected to be quite a big sort of send a piece of the future commission for the next 5 years. i'm what c may do is have a negotiation with the italian prime minister or of the dissenting voices to try and bring them in and give them one of the powerful portfolios going forward. right, so that will be george miller needs play. see, we'll try and say listen, i'll let you in. if you give me something that i want within the power structures, because there's much more than just the top senior jobs as far as on the line, she will try to hold her green deal, which is be steadily chipped away by rights and unsolved right groups. as is progressed in the legislative section, i'm what she really wants is the ukraine's be a member state. we know that that was a big thing, but the problem is that and see the ukrainian prize a president. he's been here in brussels today as well, to go to the check period for the latest from brussels tonight. jack, thank you. of the. all right, here's

a quick look now. some of the other stories that are making headlines around the world ultra orthodox jews have protested on the streets after israel supreme court ordered the government to draft jewish seminary students into the military is a setback for prime minister benjamin netanyahu. that could cause a rift in his already riddle room. in coalition order orthodox jewish seminary students are currently exempt from the draft us supreme court has ruled to permit for now abortions to be performed in idaho. when pregnant women are facing medical emergencies, justices would reinstate a lower court ruling that calls the states mere total abortion band, which temporarily allowed hospitals in the state to perform emergency abortions to save the mother's life. argentina is heavier malays package of economic reforms are close to clearing the final hurdle in the countries congress. marks malays biggest

political when since he was voted in 6 months ago, there had been violent flashes between protesters and riot police over these reforms. you know, staying in south america, calm has returned to bolivia is capital after looks like a botched qu, attends the army chief who led the rebellion. he's been arrested along with the head of the navy. the 2 men now face 20 years behind bars, as rebellious troops stormed his palace yesterday, president louise are so called on bolivians to defend their democracy. ramming the tools of the palace open so that heavily on soldiers could search through inside president louise of say face down the general at the head of the rebellion, ordering him to stand down a juan jose soon ego refused. he told reporters that his troops with their,

with the mission, hotels, we want to re establish democracy. it is enough that new people have taken it over . we know we look forward. they've taken our so our children have no future to the people have no future world with soldiers station just outside to see to bolivia is government from within us. they appeal to the people to mobilize, defend off the coup attempt, we ask the bolivian people to react if we need to believe you and people to organize and mobilize themselves against occluded talk and in favor of democracy. he moved quickly as well to replace the heads of the military with his newly appointed army chief ordering soon iga soldiers to withdrawal. as bolivians took to the streets to support the government, the apparent 2 seemed to collapse as fast as it materialized with the would be

rebels. abandoning the positions they had taken up just a few hours earlier with the army going, i'll say, appeared before the crowds gathered at the palace, thanking them for standing up to bolivia is democracy. they wanted to surprise us and surprise the bolivian people. we have reacted and to mobilize. people have also allowed us to reverse this coup attempt today. thank you. believe in people. the authorities move quickly to arrest the qu lita soon ega. but he told reporters that the uprising was fall from a surprise to us, vague, accusing him of ordering it. the president told me, the situation was bad and this week would be critical. then it was needed to

prepare something to push off his and popularity. that'd be the reason i asked him if i'm show we take the armored vehicles out and he said take them out to me and i wasn't bundled off by police moments late to speak with bolivian justice minister dismissing his allegations as the lines of a man seeking to justify his own actions in very true, i don't know if i do it wanna when he gets found, say, was president of olivia unless 2 decades ago. i asked him for his take on what happened in his country yesterday. thank you for the interview yesterday. it was very unfortunate and frustrating happening for the believe in the people grant the tell you we're going through the longest democratic theory of you know, republican history. we discussed what happened in late in 2019

and quin again a military chief aust, april morales to the step aside from the presidency. we thought that that would never happen again, but again, yesterday we saw this extraordinary show media covered in slow motion. we thought of the, the other happenings in the rest of the country. so it was a, do you think or do you think it was? who was it it attempted to, as i would say, it was an attempt to do, but uh that the whole matter is being taken to justice. the congress has to request a step to make a thorough review of what happened. so there are many loose ends in this uh, happening and uh, it is again, a very unfortunate happening because it shows how fragile the government and some of them are probably institutions are, you say loose ends the,

the army cheats. if edward were trying to understand the chain of events yesterday, is it really credible that the army chief would carry out a crew without being sure that he could hold out for more than just a few hours? me do you question his intention? definitely to be solved in the our long piece, 3 of uh who did that so they didn't happen to weigh things. so when to yesterday, usually it's a well planned, strategically operated. so things kind of move forward. but yesterday showed mostly a general who was upset about he's being removed from his supposed, requesting the cabinet change and having a talk with the president investigate of the government office. so it's a, it was rather strange to say the least. yeah,

you're talking about general um zuniga. i think this is his name. he exclaimed, the president instructed him to stage an uprising in order to improve his falling approval ratings. so you know, stage a crew so that's your popularity goes up as well. i hope it doesn't go that way. so certainly believing and people he's frustrated because again, the military was stake and we're taking the streets hopefully in the media. that's not we go, that's not democratic. but anyway, the time will tell across the really happened with general, assuming you got braces in our say, hopefully we should have upfront spire into due process that will open up things. and again, we need to enhance our institution. so this will not happen again. and that was

a former bolivian president if i know rodriguez, they'll say speaking with me earlier, you're watching any w news. i'll be back at the top of the hour with more world news. i hope to see you then the new tackle to the special hot spots in germany dw travel extremely worth a bit. the.
