isolation says it has documented crimes including torture and extrajudicial killings we'll hear from one of the ripple. effects parts of german football is outside just. reach the point as they go for the 1st time in the club's history bring all the details of last night's nerve racking match against 2 cups. i'm filled to the program. and you had some government to beginning the search for a new generation of senior bureaucrats favor following last week's parliamentary elections one key role up for grabs is that of commission president which is currently held by john told you german chancellor angela merkel is pushing for a quick decision but she's at odds with french president emmanuel macross over how
5:02 pm
the concert should be chosen a more on that in a moment 1st we'll take a look at some of the continent's vest aga 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 parliament the conservative european peoples party despite a loss of $38.00 seats his group and him still claim the e.u.'s 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
5:03 pm
a coalition with the greens liberals and the left party he 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 my gate the best denmark 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. through this with brussels bureau chief. max is that yet consensus around the successors. of anyone to have a chance at all france and germany will have to agree and coming in to this
5:04 pm
informal summit here in brussels call it didn't seem to agree exactly now what did the german chancellor say i'm going to machall she said she still supported the candidate of her party of the european peoples party so the conservatives stayed in money when my call is known to not wanting to do that and he said he wanted somebody with experience to have the top job in the e.u. commission you have to know that month so far hasn't governed anywhere not in germany and not on the european level so this could be interpreted as a jab against the meccan on the other hand if you want to follow me for the next loopier said that everybody has to be careful with each other and my interpretation for this would be that she is ready to discuss other candidates if she has the feeling that supporting munford veba might cause a fight within the circle of the leaders ok so what we're used to hearing is. just
5:05 pm
outline for us why there is so much focus. presence of the commission. it is considered the top job within the e.u. institutions because the e.u. commission is the only one that can initiate legislation they also implement the decisions of the member states and if the european union had a government this is you know this comes closest to an actual to an actual government but make no mistake you know the real power or more of the real power still lies with the member states but it's a highly symbolic post and like i said within the e.u. institutions it's the one with the most power so when should we expect a decision there are some hints here 1st of all i get a makeover very typical said we still have a lot of time but should try to reach a conclusion until the new e.u. parliament that has to agree also on the. commission president convenes for the 1st
5:06 pm
time that will take place at the beginning of july and conveniently the heads of state and government so the european council the summit the next summit will convene at the end of june so they will try to reach an agreement right there but given the situation we have not only among the leaders but also in the e.u. parliament where the 2 top groups no longer have a majority so the social democrats and the conservatives it has gotten so complicated that some experts here in brussels think that the whole personnel carrier cell as it is called here is so all those decisions that extend also beyond the president of the e.u. commission might drag on until the end of the year. but not complexity is interesting because it was it was just about we tend to talk about the role of germany and france in this and so it's down to them and they sort it out but there are 28 states involved in this and i'm guessing some of the smaller states want bad voices. right you have to you need
5:07 pm
a balance and that's always what makes it complicated 1st of all you need france and germany that are happy but you also need somebody from the east of the group for example with the czech republic poland hungary and slovakia they will probably want their voices to be made heard so maybe they are candidates let's say for the presidency of the e.u. council a different institution of the european union than you also have spain that have had no one in the last 5 years so we expect them to be very vocal as well you need a balance between north and south you need a balance between the social democrats and the conservatives that's the puzzle they have to figure out just 3 dimensional chess in french. brussels thank you. germans established process lost significant numbers of voters in sunday's european elections now the head of the country's a conservative c.d.u. party once started debate about whether pinions expressed online ahead of elections
5:08 pm
should be regulated as you can imagine that has provoked quite a backlash and the temperature back of business has been looking into what critics say is a call for censorship from the woman who could succeed angela merkel as germany's chancellor welcome rebecca resists tell us more well fill it all started with a video that was making the rounds online in the lead up to the euro pan and action on the weekend it was called the destruction of the same to you and was made by a 26 year old german blogger called reza and it was signed by one of the 70 influential you tube is so it called for voters to boycott the conservatives and c.s.u. parties. that's the leading. party here in germany and also called to boycott the. their coalition partners the social democrats was also critical of the far right alternative in germany the thick of it focused on the cd you know videos main thesis was that the german coalition government was really out of touch with young voters and especially when it came. to topics like the environment it
5:09 pm
was viewed more than 11000000 times in the lead up to the election today it's been viewed nearly 13000000 times and now we all know the historic losses that the c.d.u. made in the european election and addressing those losses at a press conference yesterday on a great credit card by the leader of the c.d.u. criticize the video and then question the regulations around influencing political opinion on the internet and whether or not they should have the same standards as as regular journalism. why don't we hear some of what you have to say. shouldn't 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 the quite aggressively. she's always they faced massive backlash for those comments of people accusing her of advocating online censorship
5:10 pm
so social media is rife with criticism here why don't you tell us more about. well . the twitter storm the top 3 trending topics in twitter in germany are all about this one user replied directly to a tweet from saying the destruction of the c.d.u. as a party of the domestic center with statements like that your view or destroying yourself even traditional supporters have been ruffled by this incident this one said as a long time c.d.u. voter i'm shocked how you deal with opinions in digital media and digital channels in general such stuff statements show that you don't the city isn't able to lead our country into the digital future and isn't a viable choice for me anymore another state social media analyst tweeted where else are they trying this approach oh right egypt where influences with more than 5000 followers are treated like media outlets and controlled by the government probably not an example to follow so the backlash has been fierce despite a.k.k.
5:11 pm
toning down the words in the aftermath of this incident so issues like this it's just let this slide or will or change i think it's unlikely that the law will change it's pretty unpopular even with her own within her own party the c.d.u. and even if it were in favor let's say that there there really governing in a coalition and the s.p.d. who they're in a coalition with their general secretary has come out and said that these comments are absurd even members of our own party have come out to be very critical i mean last that he's the c.d.u. state premier of north run with fallen and he spoke today to a little earlier this is what he had to say. just because it says god zips your money is basic law which just turned 70 and was drawn up here and gone 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
5:12 pm
opinions are not supposed to be regulated. kind of a good deal so you have very little support even from within her own party but so little time to change but her comments probably won't do much to build bridges with the thought of rebecca riches thank you. now we'll take a look at some of the other stories making news around the world a man armed with knives has killed 2 people including a child in a stabbing spree near tokyo japanese media report the suspect killed himself after the attack which targeted schoolgirls waiting for a bus during the morning rush hour. opposition groups in sudan are holding a 2 day strike to protest at the slow pace of talks with the ruling military council negotiations aimed at transferring power to a civilian authorities storm this week after the 2 sides agreed to 3 year transition period a cabinet and a legislature. at least 40 people have been killed in prison riots in brazil
5:13 pm
authorities say the violence as was sparked by fights of between rival gangs in 3 jails in the town of mouse the government has mobilized additional staff to secure . that malaysia is to repatriate $3000.00 tons of non-recyclable plastic waste amid concerns of the country is becoming a rubbish dump. china banned waste imports last year causing the country's not united states and britain to start shipping the material to malaysia and turning it into the world's main destination for plastic waste days ago the philippines said it would return tons of trash to canada. now at least 11 people have died trying to climb the world's highest peak mount everest base season most are believed to have suffered from altitude sickness caused by low levels of oxygen in the air play a number of deaths being blamed on overcrowding. they came for an adventure in the remotest place on earth they got q.'s carnage and tragedy. the man who
5:14 pm
filmed this long breathless crawl to the top of everest turned back fearing for his life it has become a death ray is there because there was massive traffic jam and people are pushing themselves who are not even care people of doing it they do it to try to summit and they instead of summiting they kill themselves and it's turned into a bad thing and i think people should really look into it. the reason for the sneaking lines of mountaineers at the top of the world a record number of parent and a narrow window of good weather the delays made the already stream conditioned worse according to this climber who has the scars to prove it. but i had to wait a while for the traffic to decrease so we could go. there because of that i was very cold and i was protecting myself and. a that if there was no traffic then
5:15 pm
maybe this frostbite would not have happened. robin fisher is one of the 11 people to have died this season he shot this video describing the conditions as he set out for the summit. for 3. but it is at the death zone near the hillary step where the congestion is most dangerous to resume officials have promised to implement safety barriers but. the number of climbers who come to our mountains is actually quite low compared to other countries we're not going to fix or limit the number of climbers we're trying to get more tourists and climbers to come to nepal by giving them better facilities and safety we want to encourage them to come for both pleasure and fame. as cleanup operations gets underway on everest it's not just rubbish they're collecting for more bodies were plucked off the mountain
5:16 pm
another reminder that the pursuit of pleasure and fame can come at a grievous price. now a new report by human rights watch accuses egyptian security forces and jihad just insurgence of committing war crimes against civilians in egypt turbulent north sinai region egypt has been fighting an islamist insurgency in north sinai since 2013 when the army overthrew the democratically elected is that was president mohamed morsi or 2 year investigation human rights watch says it documented crimes including torture and extrajudicial killings its latest reporter has a reg lives into a region from which journalists are effectively banned. i. have . to execute. magda is a researcher for the middle east and north africa for human rights watch i'm co-author of this report welcome to day doubly so now you say these acts are being
5:17 pm
committed by egyptian security forces and by jihad ists against who and for what purpose. thank you for your time this reports we document serious abuses including war crimes committed by both the government forces many of the army and the group that bled to death agents to isis in sinai in 2014 and codes itself sinai province the abuses. video fell victim to these abuses and increasingly have been caught in the fight between the government and this group the army claims that the berbers of the expanding military operations for the past almost 80 years is to protect civilians and preserve security in the area but actually given given what the army says why is the army why as far as you can tell is the army targeting
5:18 pm
civilians and treating them in this way because the army and the security agencies mentality in egypt is to function outside the law without the slightest judicial oversight and without abiding by local and international human rights low the army takes with it sinai residents as suspects by default this has actually been. an enduring problem sinai residents have been marginalized for decades by successive governments or so they take they take videos and presume them to be jihad is this maltreatment that you allege this is as well as punishment in order to extract information what is the. because it's not just when they suspect they are members of the group it's just even if the suspects are sympathizers to the islamists or just have a relative who joined them as a group or whatever and that arbitrary nature of the arrested over 12000 people in
5:19 pm
an area that's not densely populated it's less than half a 1000000 people live in north. evicted thousands of families and forcibly evicted them and demolish their homes very often without offering any alternative housing or compensations and that shows what we are talking about in the report as utter disregard to the civilian lives and again. don't stand people's houses. the same people who they say they are trying to protect when you put these allegations to senior officers do they accept this do they say this is some rogue elements so the army statement just came out like an hour ago responding to our reports it's very generic saying that we committed you know. doing and told. the army never actually in a fight that extended over 80 years never any figures on civilians even by mistake
5:20 pm
like just acknowledging civilians had by mistake of the fuses to do so the army. perceives the nation as a security threat rather than winning the hearts and minds of the people to overcome the obstacle of the insurgency in the region that has been enduring for a few years the actually managed to alienate the public and the local population and make them numb to. really interesting thank you for joining us from human right thank you so much thank you. still to come here on day w. take a look at these are barely in football fans celebrating is that a makes history and tell you why in just a few hours. first i reports from britain show that knife crime is soaring across the country with nearly 300 people stabbed to death last year the problem is especially acute in the capital london where members of ethnic
5:21 pm
minorities and gangs are disproportionately affected as victims and perpetrators as you'll see next report the british government has faced a lot of criticism over its response. to new day a new crime scene last night here in east london a 15 year old was stabbed to death with a knife. social worker paul mckenzie has visited many such cream seats but this time it really gets to him the victim was a friend a business you. too much isn't he sees these are everywhere you see a bunch of flowers years ago and it meant something you really saw when i was there read the request and i was just like it's too many to read. only because somebody wanted to prove something to somebody else. yes that's the sad thing is that life has become a point system. and now somebody somewhere say. they know that i'm
5:22 pm
that person but. often it's a case of rivalry between members of youth gangs but innocent bystanders can also fall victim to knife crime and some gun use knifing someone is proof a youngster is worth enough belonging to a guy who was. looking at all like 13 years old been arrested for not but. what happened. mackenzie talks to gang members and makes videos to show how quickly things are deteriorating in some parts of london. why do you carry a 15 inch not pretty big and you get scared but if you say. cause i don't want someone put up with me. 10 are trying to kill me so clearly. paul mckenzie feels that the government doesn't take knife crime seriously enough
5:23 pm

5:25 pm
issue here is a systemic one violence is normalised now unless we start looking. for above the young people we're never going to get to the bottom of this any values any new belief systems they need to believe there is a future you talk to some of these young people they can't see past 20 and any society that has a generation of young people that can't see past 20 and you've got it you've got to address that from above. no has to earn any quick fixes to the situation the british government is now committed itself to investing in youth work and strengthening the police presence. everyone knows the problem has simply become too large to ignore. it will start with football only then have made history about moving up to the top tier of german football for the 1st time validated still got as they did so in pole
