but turnout in the czech republic has had to be low voters care more about issues close to home than developments in brussels. and deal with us after a 30 year struggle taiwan becomes the 1st place in asia to legalize same sex marriage. i'm sumi so much going to thank you for joining us the outgoing british prime minister theresa may says she will always regret failing to secure a deal for the u.k. to leave the european union man now that she will resign on june 7th almost 3 years after the british voted to exit from the bloc she was unable to get a deeply divided parliament to back her withdrawal deal. i will shortly leave the job that is being the owner of my life to hold. the 2nd female prime minister

but certainly not the last. i do so with no ill will but with enormous and enduring gratitude to have had the opportunity to serve the country i love. and emotional and to a turbulent time at the top theresa may came to power promising in bragg's a deal and spent over a year negotiating one i have done everything i can to convince m.p.'s to back that deal sadly i have not been able to do so i tried 3 times. but so-called brags of fatigue has many voters resigned to whatever comes next or just fed up. it doesn't change the numbers it doesn't change the mess we're in and the parliament can't make a decision even if we get progress prime minister what are they going to do that's going to change things about trying to nation gets

a leader that's been the liberal people vote for you may as difficulties in office work compounded by infighting within her own party boris johnson was her foreign minister and one of her greatest tormentors and is now considered the leading candidate to succeed her as prime minister so there are often surprises as the party picks its leader. whoever becomes pm will face pressure from the brags of party led by nigel for raj the brand new group has a wide lead in polls for the european parliament you won't predict if you got a bug fix it we didn't want to play the what ifs so we're going to let you have this. so you can revise it it isn't just the votes we get to do it it's what we want to get at the general election because the old. may will carry on for the coming weeks preparing to pass bragg's it on to whoever is lucky or unlucky enough to get her job. all right well beyond the london the nowhere was

a teresa mayes announcement watch more closely than in brussels our correspondent teri schultz is standing by there for us terry did her resignation come as a surprise there. not at all i think other e.u. leaders all of them politicians themselves may have been more surprised if she tried to hang on past this point you know we've heard time and again that she was likely to resign there have been other announcements that tomorrow will be the day to reason may announce or resignation as she's been called on to do by her own party by her own parliamentarians so i don't think anyone here was surprised that she decided finally to go still terry how did it go down among the leaders. well let's not forget that other e.u. leaders would like nothing more than for brecht's it to be called off so that the departure of to reason may by no means makes it more clear what the what the u.k. is going to do they want clarity and with her leaving and nobody having any idea

who's coming in next it makes the situation even more uncertain and that's what's bad for the e.u. side as well so tonight we heard president a menu mcclung coming out and saying that we urgently need a clarification of what the u.k. is going to do while chancellor merkel sounded a bit more calm and saying what we really need to do is ensure that this process goes ahead in a smooth way let's listen to her. britain's departure from the european union is a major turning point and regardless of what happens now in britain the german government will continue to make every effort to achieve a good partnership with the u.k. an orderly exit and good cooperation in the future. that we are successful in. killing. terry does very much raise the question how does this change of leadership in london affect the brics a process. that depends completely on the u.k. but the e.u.

wanted to get out early today and make clear to whomever is in the running to succeed to reason may that they should not think that they're going to reopen negotiations with the other e.u. 27 we heard a statement from european commission president jiang klobuchar that says he you know tourism a was a courageous woman and basically now let's get on with brics it asked time and again at the daily briefing today of the european commission whether there was a chance the negotiations would be reopened the spokesperson said absolutely not we've got our agreement it has all been approved last november so basically what the brussels side would like to see is that somebody steps up and takes to resume his place and somehow gets this deal through the british parliament so that it can move ahead on the basis of the withdrawal agreement that's already been agreed but terry looking at the reality of british politics right now the new prime minister could very well be a hard line program to tear so would the e.u. now accept the possibility of a no deal bragg's it. that's true that is

a possibility and i mean the new deal bracks has always been there and it's not up to the e.u. side to determine whether there's a no deal bracks and as far as they're concerned there is a deal and it's simply up to the u.k. to accept it so while a new deal breaks it may look more likely and we even see some of these potential candidates running on the promise of a no deal bracks if it doesn't get reopened again brussels is basically just going to be sitting here waiting for the u.k. to tell them what it wants to do all right our reporter teri schultz for us in brussels thank you terry. well the announcement from the british prime minister comes as the key e.u. alexion has gotten underway voters in the netherlands and britain have already cast their ballots voting in the czech republic is taking place today and on saturday amid turmoil in czech politics many voters are more worried about what's happening at home the developments in europe. those working at prague's polling stations are

not expecting a huge onslaught of voters only 18 percent of czechs voted in the last year piano lection 2nd only to slovakia with its 13 percent turnout the turnout is not expected to be much different this time around our city people don't think the european election is important unlike national or local elections. i'm not going to vote on that i don't want to hear it anymore they have all disappointed me so no vote for me. thank you don't. check politics is getting turbulent tens of thousands of demonstrators have been protesting weekly against prime minister andre bobbish they fear judicial independence is under threat and hope brussels will respond but prime minister bobbish and his movement have the best chance of victory has been campaigning against brussels in supermarkets he claims checks are being treated as 2nd class europeans because the foodstuffs sold here are of poor quality in a campaign video he says we are not the trash bin of europe. the pirate party is

also hoping for success they could become the 2nd strongest party in check politics their message of a fight against old clique's is coming across well with young voters. now european conservatives have been holding their final rally in new nick bringing together leaders from a number of e.u. countries most member states will be voting on sunday including germany but the election campaign run by angela merkel's conservatives has come under pressure from an an expectation source. now at the source a group of you tube influencers now this group of more than 80 young people they're not normally known for politics but they're so worried about germany's future that they've called on voters to boycott germany's main parties and vote for a different once instead that it all started with a video posted by a young music producer that gained $8000000.00 views in less than a week and the whole thing is shaken the political establishment our reporter

william know a craft has been looking into this for us william what does this video statement all about tell us about this yet this is a big deal happening in germany on top of these 8000000 views of this video from a few days ago where this you tube the so-called you tube influence or reach so talked about climate change education war all these major issues accusing the government of i'm going to merkel the conservative c.d.u. party and even their junior coalition the s.p.d. the center left here in germany of basically failing them a failing their future and things going in the direction under their rule now we have this statement that focuses just on climate change bringing together not just retail but more than any of his fellow you tube stars to get young people awake and aware and out to vote in this week's this sunday's european elections we have a clip of it of it here i'm going to isn't this is very this can also be a not so. good business such as can feed at least you can pretty much about

not that is a coup that she had to put incidents are still. officially a clear way to get us on the team. still is. an inspiration but i keep his doctor to take. this into. the i'm going to for her and. maybe do to do. so you know c.s. through that space the angle of michael's parties no no s.p.d. the center left these establishment parties who have been really ruling germany for years in fact for many of these you tube ers and their audiences for almost their entire lives so they've really only known agel america and only known the conservatives and their message is you have failed us you have forsaken us you have given up on our future by especially by not tackling climate change in fact making

things worse they cuse them of putting them in being in bed with major companies and major polluters ok so this is a pretty big mess as well you know we're talking about 80 you tube influence influences across germany who are calling on young people to essentially not vote for these parties how big of a deal is this for these parties from the michael's conservatives for example well social media doesn't play traditionally a huge role in german politics like you might see in the united states or u.k. or other western democracies of the fact this cause such a huge for such a huge backlash among the established parties trying to figure out how to respond to this message and that's kind of use in germany a population of 80000000 people who 10 percent of the population is a big deal and the fact that read so and these other you tube stars are not known for their politics they are entertainers they put up silly videos on you tube they get a few 100000 views now and then so big social influencers but on the entertainment side now they've completely changed tracks to be to deliver a very serious message on politics to their very young very very young viewers many

of whom might be too young to vote and the hope is that they might influence their parents and grandparents who are more likely to be voting or able to vote to vote for their future because it's the young people who are going to have to live with the effects of climate change were older people pensioners might not be around for it and so what you're seeing here is maybe the beginning of a young awakening a political awakening when it comes to climate change which is something that established parties like to talk about being a good thing but as we see now in the cases. bank of america's c.d.u. they might be careful have to be careful what they wish for yeah just quickly you think this could have an impact on the european elections are going to see here this weekend well we've seen the polls going in favor of the greens which is the climate the party of climate change and although this particular video doesn't advocate for any particular party they are saying climate change should be your number one your number one issue when going to the polls so we'll have to see on sunday what germans do all right our reporter william lacrosse looking into this

story for us thank you so much. so how are the conservatives in germany reacting to this call from you tube burst have boycott their party did every is michelle asked the man who was running to become president of the european commission. so if it's been an eventful day in europe and also in germany there's a new you tube video out where dozens of you tubers are now calling on young people not to vote for the conservatives the social democrats basically the established parties but also putting into that bracket the far right a a 50 he didn't mention that during this event here today what do you make of this i'm doing european wide campaign and my interest is to care about the future of europe in a dream and the concrete projects behind and that is what is in my sent in the center of my campaign and we are in favor strongly in favor of border control we want to protect the economic strength of europe is better than free trade agreements and we've had to carry for the cherokee question that i'm not in favor

of that turkey is joining the european union citizens of central city bay then everybody can comment and so there's no doubt about this we are in a free democratic society everybody is free to comment this but we fight for would be religion but your own c.d.u. c.s.u. union has been struggling here over the past days in germany taxi get to grips with the message that and actually the not seen numbers of several 1000000 people listening to you tube so do the conservatives have a problem in actually addressing that kind of debate of the european people's bodies idiocies in germany we're doing campaign we're out in the street we have thousands and hundreds of thousands of of members inside of our party they're going out in the streets in the next days and they are telling to people please go to vote 1st of all and please support you in zia's so that is what we are doing and then the result is the results in the democratic way and what i want to work and work for and fight for is a democratic year a very everybody's allowed to position himself for fear by a you tube via our media whatever in which in which way but finally people decide

and. that is what we respectfully now also we've learned that terrorism is due to stand down what kind of impact do you expect that to have on the vote on sunday the decision of the reason maze again a signal of uncertainty signal of what you get when you vote for the ideas of populists and nationalists who have no idea about the future but they only want to destroy the european idea that is the outcome and that's why my main message is having directed in mind don't follow the populists try to strengthen those who believe in europe but want to want to reform europe to give europe a new spirit a new direction to open a new chapter of europe that is what i want to do. well as we heard a little earlier the climate crisis is one of the biggest issues driving young voters and on friday hundreds of thousands of students took to the streets around the world to the man to action against global warming they skip school to press political leaders to do more it's the 2nd globally coordinated school strike for

a mentor across party lines actually put climate policy on the agenda came up with it think of that for a few months ago fridays to future started with one person in sweden. now it's a global movement and governments around the world have free lies to have to take the protest seriously but according to the students' test room for improvement. they sing out coal is an extremely important issue and it has to be implemented it's a project we actively have to go through with. a worldwide climate strike is planned for the 20th of september when people of all ages are expected to join the fight for climate protection. these are introduces. they really have succeeded in bringing climate change on to the agenda especially right now in the middle of the european elections many of them are not 8 years old yet they can go to vote but they want to influence the adults around them and that has been happening. now
