this is deja vu news live from berlin a record high for germany's environmentalist green party a major opinion poll shows the greens would come in 1st in a national election edging out chancellor only macros conservatives are we seeing a major shift in german politics we'll talk about that also coming up the british prime minister treason may steps down as the leader of the conservative party today we take a look at the candidates vying to take her place and number 10 downing street.

and the women's world cup kicks off in france there are a number of favorites to win the trophy and what's shaping up to be the toughest competition in the tournaments history. i'm brian thomas great to have you with us we've begun here in germany with what is a major surprise for the nation the environmentalist green party has outperformed chancellor merkel's conservatives as the country's favorite party a new poll showing at the general election were held on sunday there would be a truly historic result for the very 1st time the greens would come in 1st with 26 percent on the ackles conservative c.d.u. c.s.u. bloc falling to 2nd place with 25 percent and coming in 3rd the right wing populist e.f.t. at 13 percent another jolt coalition partners the social democrats dropping to 4th

place with only 12 percent the market friendly have to be at 8 percent and the far left left 47 percent. you know political correspondent hans bronze with me now in the studio for more on skid morning to you the latest spike in a green popularity came with the drought last summer hit europe hard germany hard as well is that what is behind this strong showing in the poll climate change is a thing climate change and our mental issues have come to the fore in the last year and a half or so we look at what issues were important to voters just before the last general election at the end of 2017 there's a kind of traditional things such as migration unemployment pensions questions like that but i think very strong was the effect of the hot summer that we had in europe last year and the feeling that climate change is very real and so in the run up to these european elections that we've just had which has shown the which of presented

the best showing of the greens not only in germany but elsewhere in europe as well environment mental issues have really come to the fore and the climate change is something that affects people's lives directly it's something they notice in their own lives let's take a closer look now at how the greens have been doing what they've been doing this taking them to the top spot in the polls for the very 1st time. it's been a long time coming for decades in the wings on germany's political stage the greens have come into the spotlight they almost joined on the americans government after the 2017 general elections they won big in recent european elections more than doubling their seats in brussels what's their secret the party leader offered his theory following the european election result. it changes its young people involved immediately you don't have to climb a long letter before you get hurt instead you can prove yourself quickly that makes us accessible and open to social changes shifts new forms of communication new

issues and fresh. but the greens also find themselves at the right place at the right time though no longer a single issue party they've always been foremost about the environment and it seems enough of the electorate now is to climate change has become a top issue fridays for future has grown from a weekly student strike to an organized movement with political influence meanwhile the german auto industry is diesel cheating scandal has hurt america's climate reputation and her government has had to admit it will fall short of its climate goals this is fertile ground for green momentum but only a national election will show a growing popular support translates into real political power. ok political power this survey also indicates how much trust germans put in the greens relative to other parties which party has the best answers for the future of the pollsters

asked with 27 percent the greens have a massively. conservatives coming in 2nd with 12 percent or coalition partners the social democrats they're falling to a devastating 2 percent. oncet so it's like a seismic shift in how voters are viewing the traditional parties i think it has to do obviously with environmental issues with climate change and the greens are very strong that's been their single issue since they were founded but i think we also have to say that this is also a reflection of the weakness of the conservatives and the social democrats both parties on that issue on environmental issues are regarded as weak or even as failures and on all other issues they're in the moment in crisis not convincing voters that they have anything to offer as it were so the greens are also profiting from the fact that the other major parties are really weak at the moment ok that is

an important point one reason for the greens strength appears to be the other party's weaknesses the opinion poll asks the party is not this party rather is not paying enough attention to the issues people really care about here the results are the governing parties 77 percent of voters saying that the c.d.u. c.s.u. 72 percent have the same opinion about the social democrats. on seguin's have been in a national government twice 2 administrations they are currently leading one state government so it's difficult really to to think of them as many people do as an anti establishment party when in fact they are now a mainstream party while the greens have been involved in government on various levels for quite a long time yes indeed in the early 2000 they were part of the government with the social democrats since then there have been various regional governments of the us dollar and various regional governments and we have to say and sometimes in

coalition with the conservatives so they are open both to the left enter the riots in order to form coalition coalitions that makes them available as a tool to all parties in the political spectrum at the moment but their rise from something of a fringe party or one of the smaller projects to one of the major parties may mean that they can determine how the future coalition could look in other words in the situation where they are the strongest party they would take the lead in forming a government that's a completely new situation on the national level ok briefly do you think they could take power at a national level could we see a green government is that a possibility it's not absolutely out of the question at the moment the greens simply are seen as a much more agile and much more young party as something that the other parties cannot be you cannot convince but has often told at the moment thanks very much for the. as preview now some of the other stories are making the news mexico says it

will deploy 6000 troops to its southern border with a lot of all of that in an attempt to stem the flow of migrants heading to the u.s. as part of the mexican government's efforts to ward off new u.s. import tariffs washington says it will impose a 5 percent tax on michigan goods on monday if no deal on illegal immigration is reached. and initial probe by saudi arabia the u.a.e. and norway suggest the damage to their oil tankers in the persian gulf last month was likely caused by quote state actors photos provided to the u.n. are said to show evidence of a naval mine attack the u.s. and saudi arabia have been blaming iran for the sabotage tehran denies any involvement. 3 more bodies have been recovered along the danube in hungary following last week's boat collision in budapest bringing the death toll to 19 sightseeing boat carrying 13 south korean sank after being hit by

race to replace her as head of the party and the country 11 conservative lawmakers are vying to be the next prime minister let's have a look now at 3 of the favorites leading the race boris johnson the former foreign minister vows to take the country out of the you on october the 31st quote deal or no deal marman minister michael gove has backed threesome a's bret's of strategy and says he believes he can unite the party and other top candidate dominic robb who resigned as minister over teresa mayes bret's a deal he wants to renegotiate the departure agreement with the e.u. . ok for the very latest let's go now live to london and bigot mosse standing by for us good morning baggett who has the best chance of becoming a party leader and prime minister and how long is this process going to take. well brian it's a very intricate process 1st of all it's down to the conservative m.p.'s to come up

with a shortlist of 2 of their colleagues say many leadership candidates spot a shortlist of 2 that will then go to the party base and they will decide until the end of the summer until the end of july we should have the new leader of the conservative party and also prime minister now bonus johnson is the clear frontrunner at the mame and he's the former foreign secretary the former mayor of london he has charm and he has witty so many in the conservative party believe that he is a sort of tonic that they could really use to revive the party others are very critical of him someone has called him donald trump's mini me he's been criticised for racist comments that he has made an old say of being on trust untrustworthy that's even something that a conservative party a member of parliament has said about her own colleagues say a very controversial figure but the clear frontrunner out of my humans ok what

happened to the tories it's now plummeted in the polls at the very top of the polls the bracks of party of nigel frosh how did we get here was a teresa mayes failure to deliver a workable breck's a deal. the problems of the conservative party with gregg's it with your a really very deep in in history over the last decades there has been an easing as and really polarization in the conservative party over europe and with rex in this has crystallized much more sued like the country the conservative party is deeply divided over breaks it and could to reason may has been hard whacking to try and achieve a deal and eventually go to deal with the european union but she hasn't really communicated very well what the downsides would be since she has said she. she wants to restrict immigration but she has not been open about the economic

consequences that will have for the country now let's have a look at how this all came about. it was a tearful end to one of the toughest gigs in politics. 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. this was to reason may as she announced her resignation 3 years into her premiership. when she took over the job from david cameron the u.k. had just voted to leave europe it soon became evident that the brig's that made could deliver was not the breaks that many had voted for. but may wouldn't be

deterred and smiling through gritted teeth she carried on with the tosk of pushing through bricks that come what may bricks it means bricks it and we're going to make a success of it bricks it needs frex it i'm very clear press it does mean prices. have persistence through pretty kewl from the opposition. and she got flak from within her own ranks with several of her key ministers resigning and for brakes it . finally against all the odds and after months of negotiations london and brussels agreed on a draft breaks that deal. he you need is approved it but many fail to drum up enough support for the deal of time. mutinous members of their own party seized the moment to challenge the leadership. but mason family have to vote of no confidence amongst tory m.p.'s. they don't

get fired over the head deal ensued and briggs it was postponed in the end it was a battle that may you just couldn't win. big what is a look like can make a successor whoever that is when the bracha about. an interesting development is niger for a new branch that party they are really putting pressure on the conservative government they haven't got any m.p.'s and fails all say 2 in this latest by election that took place yesterday to get an m.p. into polman but they've been very successful at the e.u. election and they are pretending i have to say to have easy answers for braggs it and this is something that the a conservative party has been able to provide an easy answers and many votes are just really fed up with rex it and they want to hear nothing more about it say that they are tallying towards this brags that

policy so the new prime minister really has a big task ahead and the bricks that come monday and all the unanswered questions that's not going to go away so at the end of july though we're back with the 1st order of business being bracks. for sure. ok there are good laws for us in london thanks very much. we have some sports now in the women's world cup starts later today looks set to be the most watched woman's football tournament ever anthony howard did of your sports is going to fill us in on that anthony how will this tournament unfold $24.00 teams $52.00 matches and 9 host cities the 1st team and the 1st city of course is paris that's where the french women will kick it off the not against korea at the park to princess and they want to do what the men's team did in 99 he had not been the host nation to win the tournament trying to do that one departure if you like from this tournament

a one point of difference is that we want a way through france and michael white to lead on that's the home of the limply on the power in french football that the domestic champions they're also the champions league winners of this year to such a great place for the final it's really the seat of power in the women's game is a fantastic venue for this france is looking very strong as you mentioned and the united states do you have a favorite pick if you're pressed if a grilli good why the do it in women's football as the usa they're always going to be there they are the favorites a mirror to see if you like that one of the 3 times japan lock was germany as well brazil have a player that pele himself has nicknamed pele in a skit and nobody is getting up as he plays in shorts the jamaican so out of there on the back of the ball mali foundation giving them money you know a broken easy go this great story there's many many favorites and that's really a theme of the piece that we're going to take a look at as we countdown to kickoff that there are many many favorites in a really broad field. 7 games separate these players from the mortality the usa

have won the world cup 3 times making them the most successful country in the competitions history but they've never retained the trophy the team has the quality to do just that at least on the round strikeout exam organ is one of the best goal scorers in the world and she has support from stars like megan rapinoe and cause. we are defending champs but at the same time i think the game has evolved so much i think that there's going to be challenges that present itself in there in france the u.s. could well come up against a familiar opponent they face japan in the last 2 world cup finals. he will lead the team at her 3rd world cup she scored the winning penalty when japan took home the trophy in 2011 and to my guy has an extra motivation to repeat those heroics she plays her club football in leone where the final will be held on the 7th of july. germany to have a star in their ranks creative midfielder jennifer marijan will be one of the key

players for the 2 time champions in front of her captain alexandrov pop will have to be on top form for germany to have a chance of a triumph a 3rd title would be a monumental achievement for coach martina voss tech limbaugh given that she only took over the site earlier this year. we have to look at france but also england spain and the usa japan have shown time and again that they raise the game at tournaments there's the scandinavians we as germany always get mentioned the netherlands are european champions i've already mentioned so many teams as i was on the. indeed the former champions are all in contention to win football's biggest prize but with this year's world cup promising to be the most open tournament ever many sides will arrive in france dreaming of glory. in that report shows some of the incredible growth of women's football seen over the last few years what's been driving that t.v.

is always the driver there are $206.00 associate members of a friend each has its own broadcast deal to broadcast every game of the women's world cup you will see the number way where in the world you have no excuse you can get to see these games and that's the digital foundation on which the growth is built you can talk. that you can see at the time will be considered more highly what's interesting is that it will be seen and i will be center stage but what will buy side what will the women cite now that they've got the microphone for a month that seems like it's going to be all about pipe parity for want to talk about parity but really in terms of money there's a simple glaring difference between the $3.00 the men's game had 360 feet 366000000 euros in russia as the as the prize money the women only have 27 credible later this is a 10 so that huge discrepancy is simple you can dig in and look for reasons to rationalize why that is but the women are trying to keep it simple boys here asking a simple question when the women in the men at roland garros in the tennis

a play for equal money why is that not the case in football why that big discrepancy is the countdown to this tournament going to be the countdown to the day that we can say in men's and women's football that it will be parity in power and it kicks off today looking forward to ok the beginning of the answer perhaps begins on friday thanks very much as the howard men's football now in the netherlands hosts portugal in the final of the inaugural nations league on sunday they beat england $31.00 in their semi last night 2 calamitous errors by england in extra time handed the dutch victory portugal beat switzerland in wednesday's 1st 7 file to the french open now and the men's quarter final matches were completed after rain postpone them for a day the results mean that world number one note joke of each will be facing dominant team in the 70s sakiewicz defeated alexander. in 3 straight sets the victory gets talk of as one step closer to securing his 2nd french open title

earlier world number 4 dominic team who lost in last year's final made light work of his opponent current hodgson off. with rafael nadal and roger federer playing today the samis will feature the top 4 ranked men in the world. if you're a modern out of our top stories at this hour after they search for the new elections a major opinion poll shows germany's environmentalists greens overtaking all of ackles conservatives as the country's most popular party the far right party placed 3rd in the polls. and the race is on to replace british prime minister theresa may she steps down today as leader of the conservative party but stays on as prime minister until the party chooses a new leader late next month. this is deja vu news up next in business if you fancy a cybercafe chino were an espresso well south korea's robot barista
