this is deja vu news live from berlin and the race begins to fill the easy use top job european heads of government are in brussels to discuss a replacement for commission president john fogg younger but france and germany appear to be heading for a showdown. also coming up a storm erupts on social media as the leader of germany's conservatives appears to call for free speech to be limited after you tubers criticized the party plus a big surprise in german football outsiders union bergland claw their way into the

bundesliga for the 1st time ever we will tell you about the small clubs victory relegation play off. i'm sorry kelly thank you for joining us you're leaders are meeting today to begin the search for a new generation of e.u. leaders following last week's european elections one key job up for grabs is that of commission president a role currently held by sean called younker german chancellor angela merkel says that she wants a decision to be taken quickly but she is at odds with france's president emanuel over how the candidate should be chosen more on that in just a moment 1st a look at some of the candidates in the running vest. 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 seats his group and him still claim the e.u.'s top job but brokering a majority in parliament will likely prove difficult for fans to months from the social democrats it will be even more difficult the dutchman's s. and d. group came in 2nd with a total loss of 40 seats even if you manage to form a coalition with the greens liberals and the left party c. would still fall short 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. the best denmark the 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 gets let's bring another on a terrorist cells who is joining us from brussels and we have to begin by talking about this job we've just heard about president of the european commission there is so much focus on it right now why. well sara it's not surprising when you think about how much power is concentrated in this one position not only is the european commission the only institution with the mandate to propose legislation which then has to be followed by all 28 member governments and you know 500000000 citizens but

the president of the european commission has the power to hand out a bunch of other powerful jobs each country proposes a commissioner to the president of the commission and then he or she gets to decide which job they get so who gets to handle energy who gets to handle foreign policy who will be in charge of trade who gets stuck with fisheries so that is an awful lot of responsibility and every member country of course would like to see their candidate in that position so this is not a job that is going to be given away easily and everyone is going to want to have their say and there's some disunity among european leaders about the next candidate how they should be chosen we don't mind for viber top candidate of the european peoples party today he once again made clear that he sees himself as a legitimate new president of the commission let's listen

because you get the basis for talks over the next few days is the election results the people have given us a clear mandate and politicians should take the will of the people seriously so we got the best election result of the european people's party is number one in 17 countries that gives us and also me as a candidate the basis for the talks we are now holding. how likely is he to be the next commission president. well sarah regardless of what mr verver says there the numbers for him were actually better before the european parliament elections that just wrapped up over the weekend in that vote both the p.p. and its coalition partners the socialists and democrats lost so many seats that together they can no longer push through their decisions and there is going to have to have support from another party and it's not at all clear that he will have that support now the european union leaders are just arriving for tonight's summit and as she arrived chancellor merkel said that she appreciated that the european

parliament earlier today expressed its support for choosing one of these lead candidates like the bird or prince timmermans and she made clear as she has not done on many other occasions that manfred bever is her candidate she's been accused of being perhaps lukewarm on bevere and even suggesting on occasion she wouldn't mind seeing a woman in the post and so it was very important for vevers candidates see that chancellor merkel came out and said his name tonight now that's something that french president a man you mccloughan said he doesn't want to do at this point as he arrives for the summit because he doesn't want to talk about people at the same time he did mention some of the candidates and deborah was not among them we know that mcclellan is supporting margaret to vestavia and that he doesn't like the system of having the candidates pre-chosen by the political groups so there is going to be a lot of of wrangling ahead and a miracle in mccrone will meet separately ahead of the summit so we'll see if a franco german compromise comes out of that meeting at the same time there are 26

other countries who have a lot at stake in these positions so tonight is just the start of a very long battle sara teri schultz in brussels thank you terry. well germany's established parties lost voters in the country's european elections and now the head of germany's conservative c.d.u. party wants to debate whether opinions expressed on the internet ahead of the elections should face regulation that has provoked quite a backlash in fact for more on this let's bring in rebecca rivers who is joining us here in the studio and rebecca i mean people i think it's fair to say this call for censorship by the woman who has called for this adequate from count are just tell us a little bit more about it but is that just did she suggest well it also it started with this video that was making the rounds in the lead up to the election and it was a video called the destruction of the c.d.u. was made by a 26 year old german of long. and it was signed by 70 other and influential social

media we have it here it's playing they call for voters to boycott the conservative c.d.u. alliance that's the leading party in the party of angela merkel the chancellor angela merkel and they also called for a boycott to their coalition partners the s.p.d. and also for the right wing populist to germany the videos main thesis was that the german coalition government was out of touch with young voters is especially when it comes to issues such as the environment but also other things basically saying they're out of touch and don't bother going to vote for this phase guys it was viewed more than 11000000 times in the lead up to the election now we know. in the aftermath of the election that the c.d.u. did historically badly in those elections and so speaking at a press conference yesterday in response to the election results of the party's leader and a great karrenbauer a.k.k. as she's known here in german media she questioned regulations around political

comment in the lead up to elections we have that statement. if august this issue and the question when it comes to shaping public opinion is what are the rules from the analog realm and which rules should apply to the digital realm we'll tackle this discussion quite aggressively. she's faced massive backlash for those types of people accusing her of advocating censorship obviously a very sensitive topic here in germany walk us through that backlash what exactly have people been saying online while many angry is used as a really angry with her they comments on social media. like a backlash storm the 3 trending topics here on twitter in germany. trip which in english means a pick a resign will step back and a gate which is sort of a play on words with her name and watergate and k.k. gate they're the top trending things and we saw me as a point of pointing out to other countries that so when social media has been

regulated and responding directly to a tweet from a k k one twitter user replied directly to her saying the destruction of the c.d.u. as a party of the democratic center with statements like that you were destroying yourself even traditional supporters have been ruffled by the incidents this one said as a long time. i'm shocked how you deal with opinions in digital media and digital channels in general such statements show the c.d.u. isn't able to lead our country into the digital future and isn't a viable choice for me anymore so really you know turning people away there this social media analyst tweeted where else are they trying this approach oh right right egypt where influences with more than 5000 followers a treated like media outlets and controlled by the government probably not an example to follow so the backlash has been quite fierce despite a.k.k. toning down those statements in the aftermath she's proposed that the law be

changed how likely is it that we might see that i would say pretty unlikely. i mean even if the city supported it which they don't they did they govern in a coalition of the one with the social democrats and the general secretary lawrence king has come out calling the comments absurd he added that even actor or athlete would give would give recommendation to vote for a pardon nobody would be upset and even members of her own posse have also come out saying that's crazy. the c.d.u. state premier of north northwest north rhine-westphalia. he spoke today w. and he had this to say just because it says god. is your money is basic law which just turned $70.00 and was drawn up here in bonn stipulates that everybody has the right in various forms to express their opinion and you tube is a new medium that wasn't around back then but the law would certainly have applied to it so it's not journalism it's an expression of opinions and expression of

opinions are not supposed to be regulated. kind of a good deal so they have it she doesn't have support among some in her own party rebecca writers from you thank you so much for joining us to tell us a little more about that story. on now to some other stories making news around the world opposition groups in sudan are holding a 2 day strike there protesting the slow pace of talks with the ruling military council aimed at transferring power to a civilian authority negotiations stalled this week after the 2 sides agreed to a 3 year transition a cabinet and a legislature. a man armed with knives has killed 2 people including a child in a stabbing spree near tokyo japanese media reported that the suspect killed himself after the attack which targeted schoolgirls waiting for a bus during the morning rush hour. and at least 40 people have been killed in prison riots in brazil authorities say the violence was sparked by fights between rival gangs in 3 jails across the town of mag now the government has mobilized

additional staff to secure those persons. the austrian world summit on climate action is underway in vienna organizers are urging world leaders to stick to the agreements outlined in the paris accord and publish new commitments by next year it's the brainchild of former california governor arnold schwarzenegger also in attendance is swedish climate activist gratitude she's inspired tens of thousands of young people around the world with her fridays for futures to strike. and in her speech to a stark message for the audience. during the last months millions of children have been school striking for the climate's gaining lots of attention for the climate crisis but we children are not the donors. nor are the scientists unfortunately. but many of you here today are.

presidents celebrities politicians c.e.o.'s and journalists people who listen to you. they are influenced by you. and therefore you have an enormous responsibility. and let's be honest this is a responsibility that most of you have failed to talk now about that enormous responsibility i'm joined by my colleague john from our environment i mean you really see it there a call for action as we've heard from her time and time again how high is the hope for that action right now i think it's very high and increasingly it's growing quickly in europe for instance on the back of these european elections where green party source across the continent. with things like christian birthright is the future movement for instance in the u.k. this extinction rebellion protests whether. i think people are really starting to

recognise the importance of climate change in their daily lives and i started more from government officials try to do something about another traffic jam in luxembourg a daily nuisance 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 transport to 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 alternatives and that means we have to invest a lot more in the studio 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 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. when office space was being planned you had to provide a minimum number of parking spaces. years ago we turned this around so now the number of parking spots is limited you're only allowed. for. 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 machines will remain at the train stations those who prefer to ride 1st class will still have to pay. ok so just one initiative there i mean but you know if we look at in the grand scheme of things really just a drop in the bucket reducing carbon emissions what else needs to be done.

same morals needs to be done but it's very hard to talk about these concrete without sort of understanding how influential these different places so one of the big issues in this may be that such a focus of the conference is things like saving biodiversity and so the damage we're doing to nature. but one of the problems i think a lot of the activists find all of the scientists find is that because these issues the 7th link but they're also quite abstract it's very difficult for people to really engage with them and that's why one of the focus of the conference which i thought was really interesting is about climate communication and how to get people to care about how to get people to take action on it and i think that's one thing we see with figures like honest and gratitude here i mean they come from completely different backgrounds they've got this 71 year old action star bodybuilder and a 16 year old school go both had extreme impacts all over the world with really

being able to communicate a message around climate that scientists say they're struggling to get across. i think as a focus that definitely give the more room to be able to actually engage with people and get them to go through that maybe more dense solutions around say green financing or divestment from fossil fuels and so i don't know rajon from our environment desk thank you thanks. well our next story now takes us to ghana and a dumping ground the size of 20 football fields filled with electronic waste it poses a serious threat to the environment but one woman has made it her business to make art from the waist hoping to reduce its harmful effects. pretty cool earrings right well they're made from the west these comfy chairs are also called just like these funky coffee table design a painting turns trash into treasure she finds tyrol materials and books.

site for electronic waste it's a place where old computers and keyboards wind up along with stocks of car tires the smell of burning rubber fills the air a lot of people here farm the trash to recover pieces of coal power that they can fill on but my commute of pain is not hunting. she's on the lookout for inspiration with what's going to work with anything whether it's broken or is new or is all those that's what i was about to be calling them was walking around the store final for the coolest for real so we pick up what ever we clean from having a new job and also looking. right all the way back then we hope more on the end result of what will become almost. the 1st stage of the transformation is a good clean and then the material is cut into smaller pieces. and sanded down to

make smooth ages finally matilda paint puts the finishing touches to how unique earrings. matilda's projects require time and teamwork will what the team certainly isn't lacking is imagination they can try on all generate electric scrap into. tables or clocks. matilda paint regularly exhibits have designs of conferences. it's not only like a chink they are opening to i think rather than take all this amazing stuff that all this money has been poured into and just pollute the world with it why not turn it into art or turn it into the food feeds people tomorrow so it makes total sense and it's good for people it's good for the world so i think the whole idea of turning trash into treasure is one that is like so cool because a lot of places across the world we're having a problem with an increase in waste and like managing the ways to getting rid of it

might kill the pain has won several awards rico creative way of doing heartbeat for the environment and she has even bigger things planned for the company. we are looking at it's been able to more women therefore would love to train more women to which are into what we're doing now to be able to stuff your own businesses who would also like to empower the youth expression between come into prison is like us in a way to social and to pronounce like us for every item sold. already donates 5 percent of the money she makes to the education of and a privileged young gars she doesn't only want to bring peace candidate items back to life she also wants to give something back to society have to support ball news and fans of a club here in the german capital union berlin are celebrating their team's
