this is the w.'s life from a new leaders may 1st thursday to try to agree on a new commission president germany's academic who calls for compromise for the eastern countries to hold the consequence of choice backed by germany france and spain look at their chances of breaking but they're also on the program. the morning after police in hong kong restore order after protesters stormed an ransacked the parliament building dozens chief executive says she is shocked and saddened by the destruction. and in the women's football world cup team usa

for their semifinal against england without the americans but he looking ahead to the final england thing so the talk is adding to the tension. i'm phil welcome to the program. european leaders have gathered for a 3rd day to try to grab a candidate for the blocks top job arriving in brussels for one of the longest to do something after some said they were optimistic that they could find a consensus on replacing the commission president john paul young france and germany had agreed on from stimulants but czech prime minister andrei babiche says his country plus poland hungary and slovakia would not vote for the dutch social democrat and i know we have to find a solution we spend 21 hours yesterday saying that mr timmons is not the right man

to liaise between the e.u. commission and our country's fear on. let's go to brussels then where we're joined by faisal ok apparently we are not going to brussels instead let's go to hong kong where china has condemned what it is calling gross interference by outside countries in hong kong's affairs after protesters broke into an vandalized the hong kong parliament building china went on to express its visitors opposition to statements made by the united states britain and the e.u. in support of the demonstrators a tense calm has now returned to the city. the cleanup is underway. at hong kong's legislative council building the police have moved in after the protest has moved out of the city's leaders have condemned the destruction of.

the legislative council complex that's been stalled and extensively to. be peaceful but with the hong kong executive offering only limited concessions campaigners say they had little choice we also understand that every not everyone could. agree on all the behavior of activists during the storming legislative council action out of that dust on the action is that and the more the fact if issue and wait that could really. put pressure on government i still have no answer yet i don't deny the 1st beijing usually celebrates the return of hong kong to china this year it broke it silence over the ongoing unrest images of police clearing away protesters were 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. joins us from the chinese territory of welcome back to the streets appeared to become now more protests planned. for the moment no because the protesters are now watching what will happen now the government beijing you just just heard it has demanded the prosecution severe prosecution of the protesters and the hong kong government has also said that it will go after those who are culprits of damaging. this alleges live to council so protesters are now being very careful those who have been involved and others also there waiting now but the conflict that is underneath all this is not resolved so on the long run we are going to see more protests that's

for sure. just watching the action yesterday the police appear to make no address why they waited until the day after what happened to start making investigations why were they arresting people on the night. that's a very good question there has been a lot of suspicion about the police tactics police have been a little bit erratic sings since all this started on june the 12th 2 weeks ago people were gathering here around this area and they were blocking. the legislative council and police used massive amounts of tear gas and rubber bullets to disperse them yesterday police was inside this building warning people not to enter but when people it is of course also a lesson that i have i have learned when they try to use massive. amounts of tear gas and violence to disperse people this has made things worse so there is

a bit of. uncertainty on all sides now that there must be a worry is there that beijing is going to use last night's violence as a justification for some sort of crackdown on rights and freedoms. all of these worries are certainly there we have seen some harsh words from beijing we have also seen some careful management of public opinion inside china we have seen editorials condemning the violence we have seen that china has letting has been letting people voice critical or pinions off of what how is happening in hong kong in chinese social media we have not seen any cause for action from china except for calling on the judicial system to do what it should do i think in the short term. it would be very risky for breaching to directly intervene

into into hong kong right now beijing cannot afford now. something that would certainly lead to a conflict with a lot of countries around the world but on the long long run we don't know what they're going to do they have never been shy of using violence when they thought it was needed to preserve their power. in hong kong thank you. i mean every senator a top story or a you lead is gathering for a 3rd day in brussels to try and find out a candidate for the top job that a european commission of president candidates are backed by france germany spain has been blocked by czechoslovakia poland hungary and slovakia so what's going on. barbara faisal is in brussels it could clue us in a welcome barbara why are these eastern european countries so opposed to france to

. actually put it shortly because he is too much of a democrat for them at least an upstanding democrat he went after them for breaches of the rule of law he initiated would a floor procedure against poland for its. as for hurting and dismantling the independence of the judiciary there so for them the vision countries do for you just named he is enemy number one and it was their main goal to sort of scupper him and what they did was they managed to get italy on their side who also sort of one somebody not too forceful at the head of the european commission and together they really weighed in against 2 months and they brought him down so if not from still amounts. i mean other names in the front. yard them you names and astounding names that have been floated around brush brussels circles before but the german defense minister also fundamental and is now being named not officially but on

diplomat level and of course in the korea doris' here as possible contenders somebody who could satisfy the vishu got countries they have already let it be known that they wouldn't oppose her italy in coming in here is the prime minister content when he came in here you said oh i would like a woman at the head of the european commission and i'm going to america suspiciously was talking about korea to 50 when she entered the building so what could she possibly have meant other than a surprise and it would certainly be a surprise to see. the german defense minister take up a position at the european commission because she hasn't really been on the table before does this appointment necessarily need unanimity could the big countries just say he's a man and he goes. yeah they could if they could have done that on sunday because if you look at the mathematics you need $21.00 countries for

a candidate and you need 65 percent of the population so it would have meant they could have pushed him on through by 2 we listen to the german chancellor a day off to when everybody was very very tired and she said we should think about whether it would be smart to vote against. it big country or maybe even several big countries italy and poland in that case and she didn't want to go to go for it that's why this whole thing frale down the 1st package exploded or imploded as you like and now new names being thrown around is there a bigger problem highlighted by this deal the. european commission that is based on centrist policy politics is not trying to satisfy the demands of e.u. countries or voters who are increasingly moving away from the center. that is not maybe the main problem that people are moving away from the center if you don't mean the conservative e.v.p. the sort of center right parties that used to dominate the commission for the last

15 years but of course we see europe europe more splits we see the east moving in a completely different direction we see that you need 3 big parties in the european parliament now for a majority and you see the same phenomenon among the heads of state in government is the unity of earlier days where it was a simple deal that helmut kohl and maybe the french president would sit down and just do a deal and then the names would be named and it was it was over that is done that is the past so it's more and more difficult to find majorities and to sort of get together all of the diverse interests that are contained in these european countries in those very different parties that are now have a voice in european parliament so yes times have changed and this is something we will see again in the future very long and very hard hegel ing over the top jobs. barbara very easily brussels thank you. roger some of the other stories making news

kilograms was set by a 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. not on hold 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 2050 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. to hungary where scientists say the air force and authoritarian prime minister viktor orban is trying to seize political control of their research hungers parliament has just passed a law aimed at restructuring the academy of sciences academics have been protesting as the bill gives the prime minister power to appoint people to run parts of the economy critics say this will stifle academic freedom. journalist stefan boasts in budapest can tell us will welcome stefan so what impact is this a lot change likely to have on scientific research in the country well it will have

faith huge impact on scientific research because still a lot of us just passed here behind me and almonds will basically mean that the hunt gary and prime minister viktor orban will get through a committee full control all for a 200 year old institution namely to hungary an academy of sciences but not only that it needs also to thousands of research your sense scientists will now have to ask for missions from a committee a whole field to the us government employed tease watch day can do and what not and they viewed it as a tremendous threat to free thinking in hungary they also point out that similar issues were already happening wisdom media and older institutions including for instance a central european university that was basically moved out of the country to austria for most of its courses so they are very very concerned and as a matter of fact later today to be protests against this law as well happening here

in budapest and why does the government to want to do this. well what they are saying about hunger and promise of it to orbit and it's sad that he wants that scientists are more profitable for the economy and he thinks that all scientific research is really necessary but of course the scientists are arguing we are not an a.t.m. machine we are doing what is very important for society and that this way is the way. scientists and science should be treated so they are very very upset about these developments you said there's a protest shot july i can see why academics would be does the public can bring free food and. yes i think that's the opposition supporter said very much care and also the fact that thousands of people have already indicated through social media that they will participate i think it is a broader issue for many people but of course gary in the party of the one you're

imply minister of the fetus he's still the biggest party here so i think for now we should do is to it's majority in parliament will think the fear at the moment doesn't posts in budapest thank you. firefighters are struggling to contain a wildfire in north east germany the blaze broke out in borderland as a former military training area near the village of new tain thousands of people have been moved to safety fears about unexploded munitions hampering firefighting efforts. smoke as far as the eye can see. covering more than 4 square kilometers of forest this is said to be the largest fire in the northeastern german state of microblog western pomerania has ever seen. more than 1000 people have been forced to flee their homes and the residents of 3 villages have been evacuated.
