the but. this is d w news law from the race to fill that use talk job began european heads of government meeting in brussels to discuss a replacement for a commission presidential cause but germany and france appear to be heading for a showdown over the issue also coming up a social media storm erupts over this you tube video as a leader of germany's conservatives appears to call for limits on free speech and you tube or said people should boycott her politics. a teenage climate activist stands before world leaders celebrities and journalists and let some have it. and

let's be honest this is a responsibility that most of you have failed to take. stood on a riser to deliver her message of a climate conference in vienna she was joined by actor and x. politician arnold strokes. plus a big surprise in german football outsiders already on berlin to claw their way into the bundesliga for the very 1st time a club representative joins us in studio to tell us all about his little sides move into baking. almost gone it's good to have you with us. european heads of government have been meeting in brussels to negotiate their picks for the top jobs in the block after last week's parliamentary elections. the heads of major evil institutions must now

be were placed including the head of the european central bank another key job up for grabs is commission president that post is currently held by john clarke but his term is due to end on october 31st leaders disagree over who should succeed him and how that candidate should be chosen german chancellor angela merkel and french president in minor in my home are at odds over this issue. but let's take a look at what makes the job of european commission president so important well number one the european commission proposes legislation so the president has a very powerful role in shaping laws that in fact affect the entire interview a 2nd also important the commission president appoints the e.u. commissioners so with one commissioner for each member state of the president decides who is in charge of what which countries commissioner is responsible for trade migration energy and so on now let's take a look at the front runners in this race 1st there is germany's. he is the leading

candidate for the largest group in the parliament the conservative european people's party backed by german chancellor angela merkel and then there is france to moments from the socialist and democrats in the parliament helen from the netherlands who's calling for more social justice in the u. and then there is margaret hassan from denmark her a liar of liberals and democrats gained 40 seats in last week's election she has the backing of french president in modern one. so it's a complicated picture we're hoping that brussels bureau chief max hoffman who is following up a summit in brussels for us can clear things up for us a little bit hi max good to see you so it seems like there is a lot of disagreement in the e.u. over this question. and like you said it's extremely complicated i mean we couldn't even talk about a 10th of what's going on if you think about all the different countries and interests nor self small country big countries social democrats liberals

conservatives but it's that that that the true front line we have right now and you mentioned it is seems to be between i'm going to make of the german chancellor in a manner and i called the french president because i'm going to mexico is supporting this process which is called and you do you explain that the spits and county down process i know it's a terrible word but it basically says that those only those that have been officially lead candidates for their group in the european parliament can eventually be elected to become president of the european commission and they're not that many they're notably monthly to the who is the head of the group of the conservatives the european peoples party so the largest group in the european parliament a lot of people said that they could support them of course especially i get america but a man who in mccall when coming into the european council didn't mention a couple of names but he noticeable he did not mention money stayed the bus so that's where the clashes and this could take a while already could take a while max with all of this wrangling when can we expect a decision. at the earliest optimistically speaking maybe at the end of june this

is when we have the next regular summit here in this very building of the e.u. council so all the leaders will come back together and that's important because the european parliament the new jerseyan parliament will convene for the 1st time at the beginning of july so it would be practical to have a solution then but many think it might not work out that quickly because you have forces now that a strong that word that strong earlier for example but to some of you needs leg up parties or right wing populist party in italy that might complicate things in the parliament but also on the on the leaders level so it's hard to say some pessimists say might even take take until november or the end of the year a so beyond november 2 to sort this out. are our correspondent not toughman there for us in brussels with the latest thank you max. germany's established parties lost voters in the country's european elections now the head of germany's conservative c.d.u. party has question whether opinions expressed on the internet ahead of elections

should face regulation and as you can imagine that's provoked quite a backlash on line our reporter rebecca ritter's has been looking into this for us tell us what. has said here that is so controversial also me it was all sparked by a video that's been making the rounds it was watched widely before your pain elections on the weekend called the destruction of the city you know it was made by a 26 year old german blogger by the name of reza and it was signed by the 70 influential you tube is now the video of criticize the c.d.u. that the leading party and the party of angela merkel and called for voters to boycott the party it also called on them to to come to boycott their coalition partners the social democrats excuse me i was also very critical of the alternative for germany the far right party but but the video really focused on the cd you as main thesis was that the german coalition government was out of touch with young voters especially on issues like the surrounding the environment and it was viewed

more than 11000000 times in the lead up to the election now we know now post-election just how badly this deed and really historic losses the worst it's the worst result since world war 2 and speaking in response to that. who's known as a k k here in the german media she criticized the video and then questioned the regulations around influencing political opinion on the internet we've got a clip of what she had 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 flight aggressively. ok so she's talking about rules and regulations there yet and she's faced a mash of massive backlash with people accusing her of attacking free speech but she's obviously backed down from some of those comments but it's created quite a stir on social media tell us about the store on twitter because that's where we

see the big backlash the absolutely i mean it's unleashed a bit of a storm the top 3 trending hashtags on twitter all surrounding this today one you reply directly to a tweet from a k.k.k. saying the destruction of the c.d.u. as a party of the democratic center with a statement like that you are destroying yourself even traditional supporters have been ruffled by the incident this one said as a longtime c.t. voter i'm shocked how you deal with opinions in digital media and digital channels in general such statements show that the cd isn't able to lead our country into the digital future and isn't a viable choice for me anymore but some pretty strong words there and then one analyst sort of broadened it out to other countries that have censorship and she wrote 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 quite fierce

despite her sort of backing away from those comments it was just a suggestion of course to talk about the type of our my debate ahead of elections so how realistic is it the germany could actually change its laws on this well pretty unlikely i mean there's not that much support party probably man i would say and even if they were she's governing in a coalition of the social democrats the general secretary for democrats has criticized the comments as absurd other parties have come out and also criticized it but even members of her own party have come out. the state premier of northwest . and has spoken to do it develop and he had this to say. just because it says god . see your money is basic law which just turned $70.00 and was drawn up here and gone stipulates that everybody has the right and 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 a lot of criticism even from within her own party and you know i mean i think the comments will certainly not be building any bridges with the younger voters all right our reporter rebecca ritter's with the story for us thank you so much for becca. not some 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. more than 30 people have been injured by debris after a tornado pulverized buildings around dayton ohio officials said snowplows were used to clear debris from the roads at least 2 other tornadoes touched down near the city more than 60000 homes and businesses in ohio suffered power cuts. and malaysia will send 3000 tons of. plastic waste back where it came from china banned

filmed this long breathless crawl to the top of everest turned back fearing for his life it has become a death rays there because there was a massive traffic jam and people are pushing themselves for 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 mom to mirrors at the top of the world a record number of parent and a narrow window of good weather. the delays made the already extreme conditions 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. here and that because of that i

was very cold and i was protecting myself and that and all that if there was no traffic then maybe this frostbite would not have happened that the leader of the real 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. but it is the death zone near the hillary step where the congestion is most dangerous to resume officials have promised to implement safety barriers but no limit. 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 with their. clean up operations gets underway on everest it's not just

torture and it was like it's just one ball drops him out of the sun and it's all gone but it didn't happen so it was a relief and it was like what we tried was to keep the pitch. kind of you know say yeah i'm to all the players and the referees are dumb but so was i could we have a 3 minutes and then let the people invade but it goes. final whistle and that just dropped on i was crazy we just know was it everything was fine so everything was a massive party that we should say that actually thousands of only one sense they couldn't even get tickets to this last and even though they really wanted to so let's take a look now at what was happening outside the stadium last night. from the age of footballing relevance the sound of the final whistle delivered when you're in berlin fans the right to step up into the bundesliga on unsteady fake.

a people's club you know it's not there then no big differences between the team on the pitch between the clubs board or the president of the club it's all close together they know each other they find each other it's the whole ground everyone is there every day so you just need to wait on the parking lot and you can just ask a player for a selfie or whatever. that's all close together and you're always well come as a fan with your eye. dia's to bring them in so it happened in history when we used to when we had to save a license for the for the football association that money was missing and people donated blood or spent blood and and donated the money they gave they were see for it to give it to the club they rebuild the stadium in that was 10 years ago 20082009 was like 250-0100 of fans offering 140000 hours of free time that's dedication that's dedication
