8:05 pm
wanted that policy changed when the prime minister refused to change that policy then unfortunately we had to have a new prime minister so i think it's right that she's resigned today and i think we will choose a new prime minister by the end of the summer who wore renegotiate with the european union hopefully reach an agreement but the satisfaction of your opinion is satisfactory to the british parliament so no we get regrets no kind words for treason may going ocean into a terrific prime minister outside the brics and i mean we have record showed in employment very very low unemployment the economy's growing she's done a really good job on the outside it breaks it on the main issue before the british people the moment she's unfortunately not delivered so you're talking about the successor who would you want to see in the job well it has to be someone who has the authority to go into number 10 the next day be prime minister somebody who knows the leaders of the other nations around the world who is respected and also
8:06 pm
can deliver bricks and i think that person is par shown tonight expect and hope he'll be the next prime minister. that's a british conservative m.p. and hardline beck city of peta bowden talking to barbara faisal in london resumes resignation comes in the middle of elections for the european parliament which are being held across the bloc european conservatives have been holding their final rally in munich bringing together leaders from a number of e.u. countries most member states will be voting on sunday and that includes germany but the election campaign for america's conservatives have has come under pressure from the next unexpected source. germany youtube influence he's video has hit nearly 8000000 views in less than a week and its message has shaken germany's political establishment now the you tube stop behind its 27 year old red so i was joined more than 80 years from
8:07 pm
a huge juba's in the statement about european parliamentary elections but this is no ordinary get out the votes of people and they did leave before to no clue craft and tell us more welcome william noel what is this video statement all about right so it comes off the back of this much bigger video that everybody in germany seems to be talking about that was really a condemnation of us of a status from politics which means i get america and her conservative c.d.u. party and even there their junior coalition partner of the center left s.p.d. now we have what you might want to call a summary of that very long video from earlier this week a 3 minute video of not just this one influencer read so but many of his fellow you tube stars focusing just on climate change i have a clip for it a clip of it here we can see just a bit. i'm going to. this is very this is can also be a know how to not let try to write about. it all the quintessential up to date as
8:08 pm
can feed it to a pretty i don't know if that is a good time to put in said it's still one of those kind of conditions. when he does on the team. it still. isn't just 100. 1000000. and. so they're saying don't vote for the c.d.u. the c.s.u. this and america parties don't vote for the s.p.d. and also don't for the f.t. the germany's far right populist party or they say any other party that whose policies are not rooted in what they think is science and expert advice ok so. is this a big deal well if you think about the fact that that especially comes in german politics social media doesn't play a huge role in german politics and campaigning is still quite reliant on
8:09 pm
traditional methods of communicating to the public and communicating to voters it's also notable that read so in these other influencers are not politically minded they're mostly just entertainers they have funny videos on you tube if people watch and their audience is not really politically active politically mind that's the whole point you're trying to get especially young people out to vote or if they're too young to vote which many of them are to get their parents and grandparents to vote for they say is their future which is a climate change and we see a lot of parallels between this massive attention on climate change for this video and today is friday the fridays for future of protest which has a lot of the same following so we might be seeing here a political awakening among young people which of course many political party especially established parties always say is a good thing they want what i think we're seeing here especially for angela merkel's party that they need to be careful what they wish. to thank you.
8:10 pm
the deputy political editor at the consulate in munich of the final meeting of european conservatives before the elections on sunday welcome we've just been hearing about this challenge that german conservatives and mainline the politicians are facing from you tube it was not an issue there in munich. it wasn't on stage but you could sense that that video was being passed around certainly around the leadership news of that spread as we were here at this what was the highlight event for the european peoples party here in germany with angela merkel making her only appearance within any supporting month on stage having said that i mean the average age here in the room probably would have been above 50 so you do you definitely didn't have a room full of you tube is here and of course i spoke to delegates some who felt that this was unjust criticism one does have have to bear in mind also that this video was just mentioned is essentially
8:11 pm
a single issue campaign now to basically punish parties for simply not being good enough as it's being portrayed on climate change and this is something the delegates i spoke to here felt that there was a lack of complexity but what is really apparent is that there is a big divide between these very young people who are being addressed and what really is the mainstream political enactment of campaigning that we saw here this evening so do they see this as any sort of threat so will it be business as usual as far as they're concerned. they do see it as a threat this was not debated here today but speaking also just outside the room there's a sense that we must stick our heads together and address this but as we saw over the past couple of days with the example of the c.d.u. i'm now hearing firmly on c.s.u. territory the conservative sift sister party in bavaria there's a there's
8:12 pm
a sense of also helplessness how how to tackle this i dare say that none of the views ever produced by the conservatives have reached that kind of or had that kind of online traction and the big question is is this really their political arena where they can score political points they certainly don't feel comfortable and that's for sure ok so this conservative gathering that ended with speeches from angela merkel and the conservatives that lead candidate to be the next head of the european commission says man for viber what were the topics that make. what was very interesting that angle americal who's talks very much big picture here as well she echoed and she also referenced to what became her almost infamous twittering speech that the speech she gave when she arrived back from that visit to donald trump where she said that europe must take on more responsibility and that's also very much the message she heard here today. at the top candidate of the european
