literature 100 plus streets. this is t w news coming to you live from berlin they failed once again failed again now the new leaders are trying for the 3rd day in a row true grit on the blocks a tough job. they negotiated for 18 hours from sunday to monday and still couldn't find the right mix for the e.u. says top jobs so and now today the leaders of the european union will try again right here in brussels at the e.u.

council to find a solution but right now it doesn't look like the situation really has changed. after extraordinary scenes police and home call restore order protesters had stormed it ransacked the parliament building during a pro-democracy demonstrations china calls it an undiscovered eyes to challenge. team usa gear up for their 70 final match up with england at the women's world cup but for the americans already looking ahead to the championship england thinks so and that is adding to the tension head of the. oh i'm terry martin thanks for joining us european leaders are making another push today to try to agree on who will take over the blocks top jobs arriving in brussels for one of the longest e.u.

summit ever some said they were optimistic a consensus could be reached on finding to replace. for e.u. commission president. france and germany had agreed on dutch social democrat candidate to months but czech prime minister said his country plus poland hungary and slovakia oppose temperaments candidates. and i know we have to find a solution we spent 21 hours yesterday saying that mr timmins is not the right man to liaise between the e.u. commission and our countries. well for more on the go she ations let's bring in my ex-husband who is in brussels max why are countries like the czech republic blocking funds to the point that. because plans to was the vice president of the current e.u. commission and in charge for enforcing for example the rule of law procedure

on poland he was a very sharp critic of poland not very well liked there because of that and so he has become a symbol for those countries over there for a lot of things that are wrong in the eyes of those countries so the vision for for example with the european union that's why it's so hard to get their approval for this man and italy it seems is being rather. stick in this case 1st of all they might be negotiating a delay of the rule of the deficit procedure that is impending and might be decided in the next day because they have problems with their deficit not obeying the deficit rules of the european union so they might be trying to negotiate something behind closed doors there and so the visa go out country so those eastern european countries seem like the natural allies for italy at the moment another 28 countries that are trying to agree on a common set of candidates for the top jobs here at the e.u.

if they can't agree unanimously how will this go ahead. you go ahead with a majority is there doesn't have to be unanimity to decide this although obviously many of the leaders that are in this building want to have as large majority as possible to avoid problems going forward but i mean the formalities are quite clear you need countries representing 65 percent of the euro e.u. population and at least $21.00 member states so that would be enough and but it seems like none of the consolations in the today's commanded a majority or this this qualified majority like that but they did come close german chancellor merkel made it very clear on monday she was looking for a broader majority larger support for a solution so of course unity is a goal here i understand that the national leaders are trying to balance all these

political and geographical interests and achieve gender balance and appointing the new leaders but is there a risk that by doing all this they might not respect the outcome of the european parliamentary elections 6 weeks ago. and that's really a question of an interpretation terry if you say that the outcome of the european elections the strongest party has to provide the commission president which is considered to be the most powerful job in this whole mix then it probably won't be represented because that candidate would be month of the conservatives the european people's party and it's seems like it's impossible for him to command a majority to become the next you commission president but of course you also could make the argument that the leaders here in this building themselves were elected and therefore this is a democratic process and on top of that even if they you know if they have this package without the top job being attributed to the largest party still the

european parliament needs to approve that choice that's by the way what makes it so complicated you need to tell. majority you need a majority in the european parliament which has been elected by the people of the european union and you need a majority among the leaders here. max thank you so much for filling us ended up as max hoffman there in brussels. china has condemned what it's calling gross interference by other countries in hong kong's affairs after protesters broke into the parliament building there yesterday and vandalized it china expressed resolute opposition to statements made by the us britain and the e.u. in support of the demonstrators a tense calm has now returned to the city. cleanup is underway. at hong kong's legislative council building the police have moved in after the protest has moved out. the city's leaders have condemned the destruction of.

the legislative council complex has been stalled and extensively damaged. the police just now gathering evidence in the complex. past let's go president i strongly condemn the serious woden's that undermines the poll bad it was all on call. just hours before the protesters were able to smash their way in with nobody standing in the way. previous demonstrations have been largely peaceful but with the hong kong executive offering only limited concessions campaigners say they had little choice i understand people. and hong call all right the world might not 100 percent agree all it is not very cold all to be a fear of protesters but where more than 25 percent of the population those more the true ministry will join to read it already but all the requests have to acknowledge it so it's bad anyway out. on july the 1st beijing

usually celebrates the return of hong kong to china this year it broke its silence over the ongoing unrest images of police clearing away protest as was shown for the 1st time on chinese state media activists in hong kong pushing for the withdrawal of a bill that would allow suspects to be sent to china to face trial the issue has become a focal point through sentiment towards beijing with the chinese government now demanding a criminal investigation a resolution is still a long way off let's cross over to hong kong now or did obvious mathias berlinger as standing by material it's calm there so far we understand but still the protesters demands haven't been met today how is this going to play out a thing. yeah as you can see people are assessing the damage the law makers have shown up here around this legislative council to see what happened what the. scene looks like today the protesters have

disappeared it's unlikely that they will disappear forever how have it because as you said their demands have not been met and discontent is still strong now this these scenes yesterday they have of course shocked many people and we will have to see how this plays out in the future what about the leaders in beijing what do they make of all of this. they have condemned the violence they have also condemned foreign interference whenever foreign governments european or american mostly western governments have commented on these events they see this as an interference they see this and tiley as their own affair although they have an international contract binding them to the status of hong kong that's walking a thin line with their own public right now because they do not want a broader discussion about protests but they often cause want to influence the

public opinion in a way that would make people follow their interpretation which is too much democracy leads to chaos so we are seeing a multi-faceted approach here we see the awful new official newspapers who kept news about these clashes yesterday low they would be low the news about the celebrations that were held but they still try of course to influence the public and to prevent a spillover of this wish for democracy onto the chinese mainland but yes thank you did obvious mathias bellinger there in hong kong. now to some other stories making headlines around the world today at least 15 people have been killed in mumbai after torrential monsoon downpours caused a wall to collapse conditions calls travel chaos in the city flooding roads and water logging train tracks weather agencies say the area was hit by it least 30 centimeters of rain which fell overnight into tuesday. facebook evacuated 4

unilaterally abandoned the agreement last year they know what they're playing with and i think they're playing with fire a warning from u.s. president trump has tensions with toran reached another high not 2 weeks after iran's shoot down of a u.s. spy drone nearly triggered retaliatory air strikes confirmation monday that to iran has breached the limit on its stockpile of enriched uranium. that limit of 300 kilograms was set by historic nuclear deal with world powers in 2015. but the pact has been threatening to unravel since the u.s. unilaterally withdrew last year and reimposed crippling sanctions since then iran has been piling pressure on the countries still party to the deal foreign minister mohammad javad zarif warned europe in particular to deliver on a promise to help to run circumvent u.s. sanctions or face consequences. the europeans have failed to fulfill their

promises of protecting iran's interests under the deal. that are mad about the next step will be enriching uranium beyond the 3.67 percent allowed under the deal. such a move would be a step toward amassing the highly refined material needed for a nuclear bomb. it would also raise the possibility of the e.u. taking punitive action. europe has fought to keep iran in the 2015 nuclear deal but britain france and germany have promised a strong diplomatic response in the event of a fundamental breach by tehran. if e.u. officials can't get iran to reverse course in the coming days u.n. sanctions could be reimposed in 2 months time. you're watching the news still to come hungary's authoritarian prime minister viktor orban has been accused of

numerous villages at the moment we're doing our best to keep them safe. and we're not just talking about putting out this fire rather we're talking about protecting people's lives and livelihoods and securing the region. it's dangerous work for the fight is a not just because of the flames but also because of potential explosions this was previously a military training area and tons of bombs a munition is still on site that's why firefighters are not allowed to come any closer than one kilometer to the blaze the state's interior minister is calling for federal help. this illegal stuff that's been this hits federal land and the left over munition and other issues go back. many years now we're seeing the terrible result the state can't be left alone to deal with this problem and the movie will lessen because the fire is not yet been determined and authorities are not ruling out a possible arson. of course pilot to join just now from just outside the

ground and this is exactly where the fire started. no one has been so far neither the 5 fighters nor the inhabitants. of the sea people. especially the ones who were evacuated i spoke to a lady she had to leave her home within 10 minutes and she has a normal job but also works as a family had to leave her animals behind and now she is scared of losing part of her livelihood but so far no end of the fires are inside. thank you very much should you know because tests there covering those wildfires there in northern germany thank you very much. scientists in hungary say authoritarian prime minister viktor orban is trying to seize political control of their research the hungary in parliament has just passed a law aimed at restructuring the academy of sciences academics have been protesting against the bill as it gives power to the prime minister to appoint people to run
