god steep it's dangerous the police were on hand the day broke through activists say at around 1000 people took part in the storming of germany's largest open pit coal mine organized by an environmental protest group called and again landa all times are really important that we stop there go out of the grounds there is already too much or too in the air we need to we need to act now before it's too late for the vast mine is near the german border with the netherlands and belgium it supplies power stations with brown coal one of the most polluting kinds of fossil fuels activist groups 8000 people took part in related marches and demonstrations earlier in the day in a town near the mine in a cat and mouse game with police trying to control the 90 kilometer long perimeter

edge some arrests were made. to energy company w.e.d. which operates the mine says it temporarily reduced coal production for security reasons it called the activists actions unlawful doesn't matter should these violations of the law that's unacceptable these demonstrations are unnecessary because our w.e.e.e. is not blocking the departure from coal something we're being accused of since 2012 we have produced all c o 2 emissions by $60000000.00 tonnes that's 34 percent the latest action as follows months of climate protests by students in germany and around the world chairman chancellor angela merkel has committed to making germany carbon neutral by 2050 for these protesters this is definitely too late. correspondent peter hill was at the guts final lignite mine for us and he sent us this assessment. well it's a conflict between and viral mentalists and the coal industry the environmentalists

the protestors here say they're. not mining in this area is the main source of c o 2 emissions in europe they say and so they wanted to be shut down as soon as possible and the one running this mine and some power plants around here and other mines of course said no we need to burn coal we need that energy from the ground here let's take a look now at some of the other stories making news around the world german chancellor angela merkel has called for police to investigate whether the recent killing of a german politician was linked to the right wing terrorist group and as you all to look i was shot dead 3 weeks ago in front of his home after receiving multiple death threats over his progress e.g. stance one man is currently in custody. u.s. president donald trump has said he plans to impose additional sanctions on iran and that they would take effect on monday trump also said the pentagon was still

considering military action against iran the statements come after trump called off a strike on iranian targets after the revolutionary guard shot down a u.s. intelligence drone. chinese president xi jinping is left pyongyang after a 2 day state visit to north korea the country's leader kim jong un attended a seeing off ceremony for she and his wife the visit was highly symbolic it was the 1st by a chinese leader in 14 years 2 countries agreed to strengthen collaboration on quote major internal and external policies. the 2 remaining contenders to be the next british prime minister kicked off their campaigns in the u.k. city of birmingham today they spoke to conservative party members at the 1st of 16 events to decide who will be the new party leader the front runner of course is boris johnson he went 1st and laid out his vision for the future of the party and the bracks a process he was followed by his rival foreign secretary jeremy hunt

a new leader is set to be elected in the 3rd week of july. let's go to london now standing by is the correspondent charlayne potts now sure lots of this was the 1st hustings or campaign event between the 2 contenders how would you describe the political visions that they laid out today. well these hustings are basically additions in front of the tare membership because the tory member said those are the people that in the end are going to vote for the candidate for the next leader of the conservative party and they have by for the next prime minister off the u.k. so boris johnson and jeremy hunt laying out their vision is making a number of domestic promises but what it really comes down to and what became clear again today is that the tare membership is interested in one topic as it comes down to in everything about british politics at the moment and that is bracks

it the tory members want breck's it to be resolved as soon as possible both hunts and johnsons say they're the better candidate when it comes to that main issue delivering said let's have a listen now to what they promised. but what i said was that leaving all of the 31st was imminently feasible which was taken to mean that i wasn't 100 percent determined to do any feasible means that we are going to do but it's possible to do it because it's eminently but what will you do if course we can do it oh yes i know we come to that's the wilbury but will recall that i if we go to the 31st of october. the e.u. have not shown any willingness to negotiate a better deal that can get through the house of commons that's not going to try and the customs union. my judgment is that way in those difficult

options are a political risk of no it is far worse than the economic risk of no deal. so both candidates they're essentially saying that the u.k. believe the e.u. on october 31st even if that means no deal. we heard similar promises of course from theresa may i mean how realistic are these promises. well jeremy hunt is open to an extension if a better deal is in sight but if there is no better deal in sight both candidates are willing to leave with no deal and that would be would be risking basically catastrophic economical consequences here in the u.k. but also a constitutional crisis because the u.k. parliament has said it doesn't want to beef with no deal so are the candidates really realistic about that about leaving on october 31st it's really impossible to say and we have to say boris johnson is known for flip flopping on issues he's

a political opportunist so the problem really is that people in the u.k. don't really know what johnson prime minister would look like. now boris johnson of course he refused to answer questions about the police incident at his home last night what we know about that incident and how likely is it that it could affect his campaign. so basically it was a shouting match between boris johnson and his pot now police were called to the scene by a neighbor who also recorded the shouting match between the 2 of them and the pa accused. of being spoiled having no respect for money and of course it puts into question johnson's character what kind of leader you would be so a lot of discussion about that today but in the end it comes down to the tory membership that will have to vote on him or jeremy hunt and as of right now it looks like the tory membership has not been that the opinions of the tory

membership have not been affected by this incident and that don is at the moment still the front runner in this race still a front runner and still many events to come in this campaign for a lot of in london for us thank you very much. germany have reached the quarter finals of the women's world cup martina false techno burke side pulled off their 4th one of the tournament confidently taking down nigeria 3 nil but not all the attention was on the players as once again the video assistant referee or v.a.r. played a huge role in deciding the outcome alexander pope was making her 100 appearance in a germany and she marked the occasion by scoring the opener. even from a corner to train her 2nd goal of the tournament. for the next 8 minutes the boat was barely caked the off 1st confirms that the nigerian keeper hadn't had her
