2:05 am
commission president even if germany are staying on the commission president due to issues in the government coalition personal knowledge of the local support holbrooke 1st and foremost we have chosen to women. for the 4 peoples issues a perfect gender. really happy about it after all europe is a woman child michelle the belgian prime minister is nominated to be the next head of the european council with spain's foreign minister josep barrel as the e.u.'s foreign policy chief while the international monetary fund boss christine lagarde is nominated to head the european central bank you know had 6 in the tide of course we all had to give a bit we all had to move but once again the european council has approved the fact that it's capable of doing so and given the disparate conceptions in europe and amongst the various party groups and families and the various prime ministers i
2:06 am
believe it to be an athlete. the dutch labor leader from his to movements had been seen as the front runner for a commission president as the talks started on sunday but there was a big push back from countries including poland hungary the czech republic and slovakia the so-called visit for the hungary incident poles have been strongly criticised by symonds over their record on the rule of law throughout these negotiations donald toast the president of the european council has been wary of putting things to a vote prefer him to reach consensus however slowly the process is highlighted not just national divisions but the struggle for influence between europe's political families the top appointments are meant to take into account the results of the recent european elections the group that did best the center right p.p.p. insisted one of its candidates should head the commission but the lead candidate of the greens has denounced the package as a backdoor deal and old europe at its worst is not a certainty that the parliament will approve the names i'm going to merkel says the
2:07 am
e.u. could explore new rules to avoid repeating the squabbles we've just seen for example direct elections and trans national lists whatever happens the calls for greater transparency are likely to get louder nadeem barber al jazeera brussels. meanwhile there is high drama as the newly elected members of the european parliament are sworn in on tuesday. among them were any piece from the case brags that party had turned their backs as the european and the rest played during the opening ceremony aren't saying has more on that from strasburg. here comes trouble and its name is the brics it party it is now the biggest single party in the european parliament and as such is the best representation of how this institution is in flux as just one example has already threatened to help vote down the e.u. budget and it doesn't like the way that europe does deals the whole way the group systems work again very undemocratic you know you have to tie up with people in 7
2:08 am
other countries and you know if you were leaving and everybody else wants to stay then there's no sense in that sort of criticism. they certainly started as they mean to go on turning their backs in the chamber during the inauguration ceremony as the european anthem was played. so there are new fault lines everywhere outside a big castle and demonstration in protest against spain for blocking their leader. from taking his seat inside. and across the floor of the chamber new rights wing populists viewed with fear and suspicion by the establishment sent to rights while over on the left surging greens and liberals many wearing yellow stop bricks it t. shirts are just as keel the flights this is not politics as usual we're all out there doing our social media and it's getting a lot more attention than it did before and we've got more journalists coming here as well and everything that raises the profile of european politics and helps people to understand how crucial it is to be part of the legal changes that are
2:09 am
made here which is really we're leading the world in terms of legislation that protects people on the planet everything that can help that is a good thing so by the traditionally been the standards of strasburg this promises to be an argumentative european parliament with little sign the politicians are prepared simply to rubber stamp decisions that have been made by the european. mission in brussels proponents of political stability in europe will say that that's messy you could just as well argue that it's democracy in action. ask most europeans who the n.e.p. is and usually you get a shrug of the shoulders many of them are accused of using this place as a get rich quick vehicle making alliances for political expediency as much as for progress maybe the angry mood among europeans will add a level of transparency and relevance to this place lawrence lee al jazeera in strasbourg all alex their oyster is the director of the center for bags of studies
2:10 am
at birmingham city university in dresses now from by skype from birmingham good to have you on the program thank you very much you're so one must ask. we've seen how the bread bags that process has been coming along with these new leaders is there going to be any change and would you say it's better or worse for the u.k. to have these new leaders i think the simple answer to this is that it will be no change to the brics approach or european union leaders it's pretty clear. as president is made commission she said very strong views on projects that she's in quote something that nobody wins for except that essentially the u.k. people so impossible promises are and should popular schemes you know as i understand it so don't expect any change of negotiating position of. ok so let's flip this around so new tory leaders could either be boris johnson are jeremy
2:11 am
hunt they're the frontrunners would either of them be seen as better with this new e.u. leadership or. would either of them be seen as more effective who would who would you have your money on to be able to lobby this new leadership. but i think you're a hunter is widely regarded more as the sort of seasoned mainstream politician that calls front will remain before the referendum and convert it to late where is are some cynical says that 30 years of a colorful history of having very interesting interpretations of what he thought went on in brussels is practical so it's spreading misinformation something so anyone jumps in there's a real deep basic trust issue is is there still a run for the u.k. to be part of this to add new european union or this new way forward with the european union but i'm very simply put the u.k.
2:12 am
as until october 31st to change its mind to revive the 50 that process rights of the many up until that point it could do so you know actually i think that was certainly established by the european court of justice. so yes it could change its mind would it do so you know actually i think the consensus of politicians has been that any attempt to do that would be the try to democracy as this passed in the 26th referendum that said there's ready not a majority in parliament for the even a. majority in the country or even europe and whoever becomes prime minister johnson will hunt will have to get a basic reality check in terms of his possible simply repeating that they think they can renegotiate the northern ireland backstop provision designed to prevent a daughter written with an island. just simply plus a fancy which amazingly is still repeating themselves 3 years after that 2016 vote
2:13 am
alex their winter great to get your thoughts thank you. we have plenty more still ahead this news hour including. china gives its perspective on the strawman of hong kong's parliament. but as president has a suggestion for iran in order to save the 2050 nuclear deal. and support the world number 2 searches for a 3rd wimbledon title bar will have all those details in sports. now a u.s. navy seal has been charged with committing war crimes in iraq has been acquitted by a military jury in california special operations chief edward gallagher was found not guilty of murder and all other counts except for on lawfully posing for
2:14 am
photographs with the dead war casualty gallagher was accused of fatally stabbing and i saw a prisoner who had been wounded by an airstrike airstrike in iraq and 17. we cannot get to castro who joins us now live from washington d.c. so heidi given the severity of the charges against him what's the verdict a surprise. well divya there was so many twists and turns throughout this trial that really no one could sully say what the expectations were for the result but we do know that the allegations were extremely disturbing that it was gallagher's own memo members of his own platoon who turned in their chief claiming that he had killed a 17 year old eisel fighter who had been wounded in battle and captured by u.s. forces they also said that gallagher had shot at unarmed civilians in iraq and that he had threatened to kill his military subordinates for turning him in but the
2:15 am
problem with the case this whole time has been the lack of forensic evidence there was no body because this happened in the theater of combat and there was no determined cause of death for this eisel prisoner and so everything depended on the word of the witnesses and both sides played that by saying that the car was lying in the prosecution took an especially hard hit early on when one of their own witnesses a navy medic claimed that it was he who had killed this eisel prisoner he testified that this was a mercy killing after he saw gallagher stab the 17 year old boy in the neck now this was a military court martial so it's different from a civilian trial that you may be familiar with and the jury was made up of fellow military members it took them just about 24 hours to deliver these verdicts
2:16 am
acquitting gallagher of all war crimes except for the one sole charge of posing with the prisoners body afterwards in fact the jurors saw a photo of gallagher next to the body texted to some friends with the caption good story behind this got him with my hunting knife obviously the defense unable to explain away that. evidence that gallagher indeed took the photo however those words apparently not convincing enough to the jury to convince them that he was guilty of murder how do you know castro with the latest from washington on this trial thank you very much. ok we're hearing of an airstrike on the migrant camp in the libyan capital tripoli for this breaking news let's speak to mahmoud the head who is there mahmoud what more can you tell us. well it just so right here in this detention center here this is sentient center and that you are
2:17 am
a neighborhood and be capital of tripoli and i can see you now in front of me but it's of innocence migrant detention center that supervisory say that has been just targeted by terrorists like and they're accusing the will of the creature has details of getting this tension center i can see that but it in front of me right now and there is a state of panic among everybody including those who made the migrants from different nationalities including african migrants neighbors are in this take advantage to tell you that freight that would 3 work they might not get this area again now emblems i can see and this is the front of we are rushing to the place but it still counting the number of casualties we have evacuated those who are alive there is a state of panic here everywhere and there are still dead bodies. on the rubble medical sources here said a all the medical centers in the nearby areas have
2:18 am
been put on high alert and they're expecting really a big number of casualties. as a result of this airstrike we understand that have to have an answer that they're going to intensify airstrikes in tripoli that is following the defeat. 1 for the government forces recaptured pretty chick town. 2 days ago have that is where planes hit a civilian area and killed a number of innocent civilians and yesterday our claims lawyers to have sort of targeted a civilian house 2 and killed 2 any conservatives including a child a girl and a man mom or dad how does this incident play into the wider conflict of the civil conflict that you have just spoken about is there a sense that there are now more civilian targets.
2:19 am
well i think they have to want to prove that they are able to get into a tripoli but unfortunately the victims over most of the victims are civilians could be some of those locations drugs location could be nearby a military camps or medical units but again there is still civilian areas being targeted by war planes and also as you know that confrontation areas close to a residential area so many civilians including women and children were killed by either run the rockets or ever strikes we expect the airstrikes to be intensified in the coming days because have those forces specially the air force commandos then outfit that are threatened that they're going to intensify as strike in tripoli in
2:20 am
an attempt to prove that they can. have lost to this rich egypt out of libya and then they can they can kill targets inside tripoli and after for viewers who are just coming into this story can you give us as some background in context into that civilian conflict and how much headway have turned forces have made. well since. a 5 his military campaign to seize the capital tripoli on a program or. the confrontation areas close to residential areas specially in the suburbs and southern tripoli and as you know over the over $700.00 people were killed since the beginning of the fighting and dozens of them civilians including women and children like you said because the confrontation areas are closed to residential areas so many civilians have been killed by either a strike or random rockets but generally speaking civilians here
2:21 am
are in a state of panic and because this detention center that was targeted b little while ago is inside civilian areas inside it sounded by residential areas but it could be close to military camp an old military camp which 4 clancy used and all cases this detention center is far from the confrontation areas but we understand that happens forces have been using foreign fighter jets medical military sources with the government to say that this airstrike could have been. launched by a foreign fighter jet also 2 days ago a very strong airstrike targeted at attention areas and killed several people and military sources where the government said. a strikes were. launched by an f. 16 warplane which is not libya and they suggest that. the strikes
2:22 am
the recent air strikes including the 2 air strikes that were lasted 2 days ago 5 by and 15 which is not libyan they suggest that it could be any gyptian or immorality fighter jet we know that egypt and the united arab emirates have been supporting have been providing him with. what play is glued in get a good jet and also a right to do and there's 2014 ok mama that the way ahead setting the giving us some context on the situation in libya and the latest on an airstrike on a migrant camp will of course be updating you on the thank you. we cannot go to hong kong where it could cost close to $1300000.00 to repair the damage at the legislature building it was a building which protesters ransacked and vandalized on monday and these have cordoned off the area as a crime scene a massive cleanup operation is underway under thomas is there. is there outside the
2:23 am
legislative council building which is now out of the control of the place but 24 hours ago was fully under the control of the protesters who were surrounding this building and then broke their way and now it's pouring with rain on tuesday night had this rainfall and on monday night then perhaps it would have played the protesters before the police needed to in the numbers that they did but it was a falling knife on monday had been hot all day and after 1516 hours in that hot sun many protesters just couldn't contain themselves any longer smash their way into this building now you see all of this blue and white plastic that's covering huge and very thick windows or what we're windows until they will all smashed in and it took many hours of battering not gloss for the protest is to get in over the course of tuesday the police have been clearing out the streets the debris all around this
2:24 am
building but also inside this building has significant damage wrought from the ground floor up to and including the debating chamber itself in the place of being in there all day bringing out all the loads of what they're calling evidence things that they can use to prosecute protesters who broke in i don't like to stage now you can see the place of guarding the door they plan to work through the night bringing out more and more things that they think can help with prosecutions because kerry the chief executive has said that that is now what is going to happen people who broke in their all violent criminals she says and they are going to face court. and we can now go live to sarah clarke who is in hong kong and i believe in front of that legislature building given the damage that under thomas has described is the government likely to resume. well interestingly the government offices which are behind me on my list reopened today obviously that was. yesterday being choose to do that is wednesday and people
2:25 am
are starting to arrive around some of the lower level so around the entrances all of the other side those areas the doors of the windows still smashed in this and to thomas and in the space those areas are now covered with top holdings at the time line that area has now become a criminal investigation same as police pursue those who were involved in monday night's smashing of the midst of council building but that's the council meetings which the official kind of know make of meetings the council meetings the usurping council for the next 2 weeks of course carry them yesterday being choose day she was forced to hold their executive council meeting which is the equivalent of the cabinet meeting at government house which is great she needs the city because this area is still not completely secure but the main stuff that the department will stop. work as we speak to his official business i should say there is a police investigation into monday night's rally but of course there's now also
2:26 am
a special ta schools that's been set up by the independent police complaints council they'll be investigating all the events and that's back to all the way back to june 9 all the way to july to monday night's events not. all the various rallies the one the big rally we had on the 1st one of the sunday was 1000000 people the next one was too many people but there's been various bombing clashes between police and protesters throughout that time and they're now talking about a criminal investigation which will be followed by the plights police complaints council. so it's worth stressing that. it was only a small number compared to the large peaceful protests we saw on monday but people are still coming to terms with these. on president of actions by these protesters what's the reaction so far. well the reaction has been filtering throughout the last couple of days of course by using has called on kerry
2:27 am
lamb of the government to still order peace on the streets but they have backed force parallel the government and the police force we've also heard other chimes and consulates come out with a reaction the hong kong general tribe has condemned the violence and the damage we've got the american chamber it's also says it doesn't condone the violence it's causing physical harm a property and of course you must remember the american consulate it does support the bigger message that is it would draw the treaty but it didn't support events of monday not the most society and the bar association they've also said that the protesters actions could not be justified as freedom of expression having symbol of that some of the party democracy lawmakers keep reminding the public that they must remember that the bigger message and the bigger target of these rallies and there was of course as you said there was a small a bonnet i read it was small number of people but they were these big rally the people peaceful rallies that supported that one big message which was the withdraw or the dropping dumping of the exhibition bill altogether sorry clark in hong kong
2:28 am
thank you. well earlier on tuesday china's government strongly condemned the protesters who had ransacked hong kong's legislature they accuse them of trampling on the rule of law katrina you has more on that from beijing. this is the hong kong the chinese government wanted the world to see celebrations marking the 22nd anniversary of the true turn to the chinese motherland. dead bees with these teams broadcast around the world dismissed by beijing as little more than violent mobs pushing but it says. a blatant challenge to the one country 2 systems rule its strongest words yet very similar to euthanizing of what happened in hong kong violently striking in the last minute damaging facilities is an act of troubling rule of law and violating social order is a serious to law breaking behavior. the communist party has condemned the storming
2:29 am
of hong kong's legislative council and its full support behind chief executive kerry land government it's backing a police investigation into the criminal responsibility of those involved on monday night saying offenders who feel the full force of the law. the chinese government are continuing to play down the takeover of hong kong's column and calling it the illegal behavior of a group of radicals but the intensity of the protests have no doubt so time is leadership and pundits and questions as to why so many who are resisting they do is control they see or perceive that somehow beijing is over reaching that it's violating what they perceive is the spirit or the agreement that was in the handover from beijing's point of view they're protecting their people and their country for now from chinese state media familia party line continuing to protest will only undermine social order and harm hong kong. beijing is watching closely
2:30 am
waiting to see of hong kong government is able to stamp out the unrest if not it may bring with these protesters fear the more still more control from the mainland katrina new al-jazeera beijing. and still ahead and. horrifying that's how u.s. politicians describe conditions at migrant detention centers they visited in texas . has had a police as a minor number of people arrested and we'll tell you why. and bangladesh's world cup heard slip through their fingers the action from their match with india and sport. how i once again welcome to another look at the international forecast we've got
