place to. place. blame blame blame blame blame blame blame blame blame blame blame blame blame blame blame blame blame blame blame blame blame blame blame. blame. blame. this is the w. news live in a new cool faction in response to the climate's emergency activist pressure to conform the u.s. government on the false negatives that a special conference in austria to raise awareness about the threats to our planet
10:01 am
also coming up and not stopping targeting schoolchildren and japan at least 2 suspected victims including one girl have been killed and more than a dozen on inches. plus a big surprise in german football outsiders only on very little and make their way into the bundesliga the 1st time and the club's history will have the details of last night's nerve racking playoff match against it comes to. play. play. time and has mackinnon i so much for joining us. the austrian world summit on climate action is underway in the capital vienna it's the brainchild of the former u.s. governor arnold schwarzenegger who will be joined by swedish climate activist. she
10:02 am
founded the fridays for future school strike movement the summit is a call to action aimed at getting countries to adhere to the paris agreement and publish new commitments by next year austria as president alex on the fund the bell and open the summit with a speech will have more on the conference in vienna with our environment correspondent in just a moment but 1st a look at how one european country luxemburg is trying to reduce emissions. another traffic jam in luxembourg a daily news since but the minister for mobility says this is going to change luxembourg is set to become the 1st country in the world to offer free use of on public transports nationwide by 2020. we simply have to understand that a car is not always the ideal mode of transport in urban areas of course we have to offer people terms of about means we have to invest a lot more in the. expanding the rail network alone will cost luxembourg around 2200000000 euros the goal is to make it possible to transfer to the tram bus or
10:03 am
bike all electric of course in particular the idea is to get the 200000 commuters who travel daily from belgium france and germany 70 percent of them by car to switch to public transit to achieve this park and ride spaces are being doubled and car lanes are being replaced by tram lines. that's for. an office space was being planned you had to provide a minimum number of parking spaces a few years ago we turned this around so now the number of parking spots is limited you're only allowed. in the. federal field. the transport authorities control center the hub of data from across the system if there are delays additional vehicles are dispatched after all people will only switch to public transport if they can count on quality and service but ticket
10:04 am
machines will remain at the train stations those who prefer to ride 1st class will still have to pay. and i'm joined now by my colleague john from our environment desk tell me is making public transport really an effective way of reducing carbon emissions tackling the climate crisis in a lot of ways yeah it's i mean cars are one of the biggest emitters of greenhouse gases and time to save one of the most effective ways you will we personally could reduce our greenhouse gas emissions along with cutting down on flying and. reducing the meat intake we have. by even not driving or by driving less and actually getting people to do that is incredibly tricky. as a one way or the people suggest there's obviously offering free public transport to everyone and that's partly because not everyone is able to just give up the car
10:05 am
people rely on cars for their jobs their work and to ask people to make those sorts of economic sacrifices without giving them an easy way to kind of alleviate. is the many people to begin to ask ok let's have a talk about what's happening in vienna today talking about 16 year old climate activists gratitude and book that those going to be there last night before. actually tweeted this picture which i think we're going to have a look at now which was him and in vienna together now the 2 are going to be meeting with heads of states with representatives from the u.n. the world health organization is all very hot high profile. how much influence do these people really have on climate policy. it's hard to measure but i think a lot of people so aggressive. let's remember this softly spoken 16 year old school kid and it really resonated with a lot of the they were able to see the action that she was making the changes she was making i mean for instance she's taken the train to vienna yes that so there's
10:06 am
a big idea that i think is very powerful which is that people can see themselves in these sort of climate action areas that i think the times on the short think it's been you think and i think this is a really affected way in many ways of getting people to actually relate to climate and that's where maybe the scientists have struggled for quite a while it's so true is that it's the people cause of it isn't it is being able to understand why and then understanding how you can you can make a difference yourself. we've been talking about you elections europe's green paint policies made major gains in the e.u. election has been called a green what you've does this tell us something about people's maybe growing understanding of climate change or the climate crisis withholding him yeah i think one of the interesting aspects is that it's becoming more and more mainstream that i mean in germany for instance we saw that the green party was a favorite party of the under sixty's so it's no longer just the sort of kids movement of school kids protesting in affright it's the future. thing where adults
10:07 am
and older people. very willing to understand engage with the challenge of climate praises to them. so i think on one level it's that they become more and more accepted within society but on the other hand the big question from environment find us which is what is happening fast enough of these changes and this growing awareness of climate and they are they really enough to make these massive changes that they say we need to make starting not be different speed is of the essence hatchet niranjan from our environment s. thanks so much thank you. either leaders will meet today to talk about who will take over some of the key roles in the wake of the parliamentary elections among the jobs up for grabs is commission president a role currently held by jungle young german chancellor angela merkel says she wants a decision to be taken quickly but she could be heading for a showdown with france's president president emmanuel not home more on that in
10:08 am
a moment 1st a look at some of the candidates have already friend their hat into the ring vest our go to months or veba. the elections are over but the race to succeed as the next commission president has just started too many he is the front runner manfred veba the lead candidate of the largest group in the problem and the conservative european peoples party despite a loss of $38.00 seats his group and him still claim the top job but brokering a majority in parliament will likely prove difficult. for france to moments from the social democrats it will be even more difficult the dutchman's s indeed group came in 2nd with a total loss of 40 seats even if he managed to form a coalition with the greens liberals and the left party he would still fall short
10:09 am
of a majority in parliament. it is the 1st time in 40 years that the big center right and center left groups aren't able to control a majority of seats in the european parliament so some think she might come out as the winner. vesta gov then mark this serving competition commissioner didn't run as an official candidate during the campaign however after her liberal alliance made strong gains she made clear that she is up for the presidency. in the end it will be up to them the leaders of the member states will choose their nominee for the job and it might be somebody nobody has on the list just get i'm joined now by correspondent in brussels teri schultz terry let's start with the role of a president of the european commission how significant is this job and it would be hard to underestimate just how important this job and this moment is because every
10:10 am
time the european parliament turns over as just happened over the weekend so do all of these top jobs that means not just the president of the european commission but also of the council of the parliament and this year by chance also the president of the european central bank but here in brussels the job you really want is president of the european commission not only is the commission the only branch that can propose legislation which of course has a huge impact on all member states but this person the president will decide basically who gets what job for the next 5 years so every country will propose a commission candidate but the president will decide who gets to trade who gets budget who gets energy who gets stuck with taxation or fisheries so that is a really really influential post and that's why everyone wants it and there's going to be a lot of horse trading over this job of a some disunity amongst european leaders about how the next candidate should be chosen but germany is pushing for a quick decision let's have a listen to what she had to say be a voice. we want to find
10:11 am
a solution as quickly as possible because the european parliament will meet at the beginning of july and it would of course be desirable if there were already proposal of the european council so that stuff it could be carried out very quickly . so michael wants a quick decision but the main parties didn't get the big majorities they were hoping for did they say we'll make finding an agreement more difficult. it was always going to be a very contentious process but now the fragmentation in the results that european parliament elections are going to make it even more so of course it's in chancellor merkel's interest that this is decided quickly because she has said that she is in favor of the german candidate the head of the european peoples party. now if you go move quickly you'll take one of these established candidates who've been campaigning for the job but she is headed for a clash with french president a man you mcluhan and others who say wait a minute let's not go so quickly let's reopen this debate and possibly take other
10:12 am
candidates he will be in favor of margret of vestavia but there are other leaders who want even other candidates friends temperaments whose political group came in 2nd says he's not out of the running at all so here in brussels today horse trading is already at an all time high president mcclellan is holding meetings with everyone under the sun so he is definitely gearing up for a clash with chancellor merkel and that will happen this evening but we are certain that there will be no decisions coming out of the summit tonight or attention from brussels thank you. have a look at some of the other stories making news around the world austrian chancellor sebastian cortes is vowing to fight on after he was ousted in a no confidence motion he says he'll stand again as a conservative candidate in early elections set for september says ousting came in the wake of a corruption scandal involving his far rights coalition. at least 40 people have
10:13 am
been killed in prison riots in brazil authorities say the deadly clashes was sparked by fights between rival gangs in 3 different jails across the town of the now so the government has mobilized additional stuff to secure the prison. a victory for malawi's president. has been declared the winner of last week's election he was reelected to a 2nd 5 year by a narrow margin the results were confirmed after a delay of the final count is that allegations of vote rigging. in japan a group of school children have been attacked by a man carrying a knife on a busy street at least 3 people are dead including the attack and more than a dozen more wounded the stopping took place in the city near tokyo japanese media reported that one of the dead and most of the injured all school children it's believed they were waiting for a bus during the morning rush hour the suspected attacker is reported to have
10:14 am
killed himself. i'm joined now by michael pena journalist based in tokyo michael what is the local authorities know so far about the attack. well the tech certainly came out of nowhere as far as anybody was concerned you know there's been nothing about it anybody knowing who this person know was or why he did it but apparently this morning at about 7 30 am local time when the schoolgirls were lining up for their for their bus to take down the school man approached them with kitchen knives one in each hand and said i'm going to kill you and then he proceeded to attack the girls and in the end apparently about 16 of these young girls 6 or 7 years old were injured and one of them has died and he also killed a man in his thirty's before running
10:15 am
a few yards away and sticking the knife into his own throat and killing himself it sounds absolutely have respect said these a school young school children is there anything else you can tell us about the victims of this attack. they appear to have been basically young school girls that went to a local catholic school. and they were. they were just 2 young girls going to school of interests there is not too much more to say mostly all japanese probably and as well as the attackers so far as we know. so you have basically normal school kids going to school yeah the at alleged attack as you said is among the dead is there anything we can ascertain about his his motives why why did he do something like this. well course that is the question which is being widely asked in japan right now and you know what why would somebody do such a thing what i can say is that there is not even
10:16 am
a hint that it has in the can do with politics or or in any larger issues i think you know in the absence of information but looking at the pattern of the event it appears very much to have been somebody who was mentally disturbed in some way who just carried out the attack as sort of a murder suicide but at this point the authorities aren't releasing any information about the attacker except for the fact that he was 57 years old came michael penn in take a thanks so much. thank you. you're watching news still to come found from this club celebrate is that team history we will tell you why in just a few. but now to an award celebrating journalism and bravery it comes from the annual global media forum hosted by which started yesterday in the west in german city of boston the highlight is the freedom of
10:17 am
speech award in this year's when it comes from mexico reporter annabel continued to investigate drug trafficking and government corruption despite receiving multiple death threats. for the jury and for her admirers it was clear and more than earned the freedom of speech award but the mexican journalist did not want the prize for herself instead she accepted it on behalf of others killed for doing their job. this price is not for. i can hear it. is so more than their $125.00 journalists who have been more there they want us that they want our silence but we still standing and we make our voices heard
10:18 am
here the journalist was awarded the prize for her courageous work in her home country of mexico and uncovered corruption within the mexican government in her books she reveals how drug cartels are entangled with the military the economy and the government again and again journalists in mexico are killed because of their research this was also threatened she fled to europe. today's recipient of the freedom of speech award 2019 is in a sense a walking miracle. and that miracle is simply the fact that she is still with us. german president frank steinmeier is also concerned about press freedom worldwide he had words of encouragement for annabel hernandez and other journalists. keep being courageous about reporting on what must also be uncomfortable for
10:19 am
governments democracy needs all of you. and about this refuses to give up she wants to continue to report on corruption and cartels preferably as part of a global network of investigative journalists she has already won over new founds at the global media forum. some football news now and a club here in the german capital and you in berlin have made history then moving up to germany's top tier for the very 1st time relegating got in the process and for more of that happening out with me going to tell us a little bit more anthony last night was pretty tense and it was there's a footballing fairy tale playing out it's not that version if you like of david versus goliath the goliath they've got 2 world cup winners in this one of them is the frenchman bunnymen provide he's worth nearly 40000000 euros that is twice the value of the entire one yawn squad so making the point that this is big versus small they're a small club on young playing on the edge of the forest on the edge of berlin and
10:20 am
it was there in this incredible setting that they had the chance to make the bundesliga big time the humans were not good for your own only 2 2nd tier clubs had won the biggest league in the last 10 attempts but with the backing of a typically raucous home crowed 2 away goals in their locker he would have been confident of bucking the trend but stuttgart started better and dennis ogle looked like he'd scored a beauty of a free kick but the video assistant referee spotted an off site no goal no military main despite stuttgart sweating. blood for the cause the noon came into the game after the break this was the 2nd time they were foiled by the woodwork. french world cup winner. came closest to rescuing the day for stuttgart. but the new one held on i will know the final score but you knew almost 2 goals last week and sweetie i meant they had finally reached the promised land the new
