12:02 pm
her bid to become the 1st woman president of the european commission it was a last chance to win the support of parliamentarians from the law and a sort of a little concerns of lawmakers who criticize her for being too rigged she laid out a number of ambitious policy points on issues including climate gender equality migration and brags that he has some of what she had to say safe enough animal finally the candidate for president of the european commission is a woman. if we are to go down the european path we must 1st rediscover our unity if we are united on the inside no body will divide us from the outside if we close the gaps between us we can turn to more of such challenges in tomorrow's opportunities. honorable members our most pressing challenge is keeping
12:03 pm
our planet healthy. this is the greatest responsibility and opportunity of our times i want europe to become the 1st climate neutral continent in the world by 2050. and i will stand for fair texas whether for brick and mortar industries or digital business when the tech giants are making huge profits in europe this is fine because we are an open market and we like competition. but if they are making these profits by benefiting from our education system our skilled workers our infrastructure and our social security if this is so it is not acceptable that they make profits but they are barely paying taxes because they
12:04 pm
play our tax system in unravel members. the rule of law is universal it applies to all in the last 5 years more than 700000 people have drowned in the mediterranean which has become one of the deadliest border in the world at sea there is the jewel tea to save lives in and in our treaties and conventions that is the legal and moral duty to respect the dignity of every human being the european union can and must to defend these values the european union needs humane borders we must save. but saving alone is not enough
12:05 pm

12:06 pm
a speech there was something for everyone how did it address go down there. well because indeed she did have the right triggers and she had a good way of mixing it with her personal story introduction i am a woman this is a historic chance also stressing the fact that she has 7 kids which makes her more approachable and in the end telling a story about her father this mix seemed to have worked quite well with the m e p's we talk to of course not on the far right but we are the ones that are essential here are the social democrats because they're the one to put her over the hump and the feedback we've been hearing from most allegations so far is quite positive there's one notable exception though the german delegation's so enough on its own country the s.p.d. the ones that are in the same coalition as her party still saying we're not going to vote for one of them was also a strong of any attack on climate change no wonder greens interest because they had
12:07 pm
said earlier they would be voting against. it there's a certain irony to that because the greens were the party to reject. as the 1st party last week they met or they grilled her for over an hour and then they were very quick to release a press release saying we're not going to vote for this is just not enough and i have the feeling that some of them at least regretted that decision a little bit today because as you said the speech was very climate protection heavy and see she said in theory all the right things for the green party by the way i talked to one of their members from belgium desoto this is what she had to say. mr souter kind of a full day of debate with her because she just delivered so the introductory speech and now the debate is ongoing and then we will have group meetings to discuss our position it is my feeling that my group will not give full support to her tonight's
12:08 pm
no but you think it sounds like you are considering giving her your vote. i didn't say that we'll still have a full days of debates you're not excluding it i'm not excluding anything it can be supported can be abstention it can be a negative vote to see tonight what happens when we have you know the whole debate and all the elements that we need on certain elements she has progressed she did her homework she listened to us and she definitely wants the vote of the s. and d. group that's clear and social democrats. she probably will get them she will lose the ones. extreme rights because she said some things about migration about nationalism that definitely will not be accepted from that side and that is good because we were afraid that she would lose the left side of the parliament and get the votes at the right and extreme right side which of course creates you know some some dependence from that groups so no she's a she's shifting more to the left even more than her own political family has ever
12:09 pm
done because she did she just did a few things that were not really the position of the p.p. . so much that's because at least this green member is keeping all their options open as to how she's going to vote and what the big issues there among the deputies is that or is it up on the line it was not the so what do you need candidate for this post tell us about this controversy and its implications. yes especially the greens and the social democrats were almost well hurt because they were all in regarding this lead candidate principle something that was born 5 years ago we have to make sure that everybody understands this is not part of the european treaties there's no legislation behind it it was sort of a convention that was born did later as president of the e.u. commission the goal behind it was to give these candidates more more legitimacy and make sure that the citizens of the european union have their say in this but this
12:10 pm
time the european parliament failed to gather a majority behind one of those lead candidates including by the way the social democratic candidate funds to moments from from the from the netherlands so by not agreeing on one of those candidates after the elections they basically handed over the power of this process to the leaders so the representatives the heads of state government of the member states and they came up with a line and that still makes some of the m.e. piece here quite mad we have to see how this plays out of course when the vote takes place but finding that and also pressed the point about being the 1st woman to hold this post if she is elected how did that business with people of that. it's historic and i would say most any piece at least the ones we talk to think it's a good thing of course then you have some who think it's absolutely brilliant who fought for gender equality during their whole political career just to mention one example of erotic garcia perez who is the head of the social democratic group here
12:11 pm
in the e.u. parliament she's a feminist she's fought for gender quality and so even though it was a is a member of the conservative party. garciaparra stood up after her speech and gave her standing ovations as the group leader of the social democrats so that shows you the direction that the s. and d. group the social democrats will probably go into at the end of this day so walk us through what happens for the rest of the day and render we actually have a result. member of the conservative party told me earlier she can start planning her victory party now because the feeling really is that she's going to make it there are some meetings of the political groups this afternoon where they will give their official recommendations whether to vote for. or not social democrats at 4 o'clock this afternoon until about 6 o'clock this afternoon and at 6 o'clock we have the official secret ballot so
12:12 pm
a secret vote will take their times to count those votes because they want to make sure they get it right especially if it's close so we do expect official results by 730 this evening. right max elfman at the european parliament instructable thank you very much. let me not bring up to date but some other stories making news around the world monsoon flooding in south asia's getting us assam state on india's border in bangladesh and man mark has been particularly hard hit 4000000 people have been displaced from their homes there in recent weeks and forecasters warn of for the rain to come in many parts of eastern india bangladesh and the path. of a heavy rain may have caused a residential building to collapse in the indian city of mumbai officials say at least 2 people are dead and 40 more coffee and trapped under the rubble collapses are common among during the monsoon season the poorly constructed buildings

12:14 pm
controversy. donald trump has seldom been one for a club. so it was no surprise when he stood firmly behind his controversial tweets from sunday. but if you're not happy in the u.s. if you're complaining all the time very simply you can leave you can leave right now but they have to love they have to love our country their congress people and i never used any names trump may not have named names but there appeared little doubt he was referring to an outspoken quartet of congresswoman that calls itself the squad all of them u.s. citizens 3 of them born in the u.s. and none of them white they certainly felt singled out like the president they didn't mince their words sadly this is not the 1st nor will it be the last time we hear disgusting bigoted language from the president our her urge house leadership many of my colleagues to take action to impeach this lawless president today he's
12:15 pm
launching a plainly racist attack on floor duly elected members of the united states of house of representatives all of whom are women of color this is the agenda of white nationalist despite the occupant of the white house a chips to marginalize us and to silence us please know that we are more than 4 people our squad includes any person committed to building a more equitable and just worded he tells us that i should go back to the great borough of the bronx and make it better and that's what i'm here to do. but even after that response trump was unrepentant and back on twitter this time he referenced the 4 progressives claiming that the hate the us israel to and that they are endorsing socialism. typically the president seems unruffled by any of this
12:16 pm
among his last 2 weeks of the day was one containing just 4 familiar words in block capitals make america great again. 50 years ago today on july the 16th 19693 astronauts neil armstrong balls orin and michael collins were boys to make history a spot at the apollo 11 mission millions tuned in to watch the liftoff. as we see here in these original black and white images the 1st manned mission to the moon took to the skies from nasa as kennedy space center in florida the crew reached their destination 4 days later. and with that step the united states had won the race to the moon in what was the defining event of the 20th century. joining
12:17 pm
me now for more is dr ornish from the german aerospace centers institute for planetary recession welcome dr gupta 1st afford what did this historic mission mean to you it's in memory of my childhood i was 6 years old and i spoken up in the middle of the night and sitting with my free brothers in front of the t.v. and couldn't believe it was so dangerous was it because i also remember this was such a big event in our lives and i was also a little child at that point but how dangerous was it at that time and what could have gone wrong today we know that it was much more dangerous that they told us they these days. even said it was about $5050.00 and when you look at the technology they had these days it's kind of miracle that nothing ever happened. that's true and you see and that to my real remember that very famous sentence of neil armstrong one small step for man a giant leap for mankind so what exactly has this mission achieved and what kind of
12:18 pm
implications it had for mankind well the 1st time he left his planet so we put our feet on a different planet everybody in the solar system and it will be like this for a long long time that we will not touch another planet broken so so soon it was a big it once meant in technology it was science and science with 6 of color and landings on the moon returning 400 kilograms of rocks to your abuse gave us the it tools to identify a child with the earth and moon system it was so historic at that for now met a humankind has never been back to the moon since the apollo 11 mission and now a new project is on to send people back to the moon before we continue our conversation let's take a look at the new project about sending a manned mission to the morning again. you rockets are
12:19 pm
set to carry modules for a space station to orbit the moon the lunar orbital platform gateways or lucky for short is a modest successor to the international space station like the i assess this project will be developed through international cooperation under nasa as leadership. astronauts will be able to launch and monitor missions on the lunar surface from the new one putting station. first they will study the moon with remote controlled robot to determine the extent and location of the moon's resources. later astronauts will be able to reach the moon from the. the aim is to build a permanent base on the lunar surface where technologies could be developed and tested.
12:20 pm
then they can advance further into space toward mars. the long term goal is to use the gateway as a kind of assembly line and transfer station for the astronauts on their long journey to the red planet but that probably won't be possible until over a decade from now at the earliest. fascinating so dr could why is sending people back to the moon 50 years after the 1st landing there why is it taken so long well it's an expensive affair and it's it's a lot of effort needed to do it to feel free to fulfill it and it's now a good idea because the international space station is coming to an end slowly probably the end of the next decade and you have to think about what will you do next and returning to the moon is a logical step because it could be the way mars exactly i talked about that we come
12:21 pm
to that in just a moment but 1st tell me what kind of experiments new experiments will the astronauts be conducting on the moon we have 50 years after a completely new technology much better instruments and tools to identify minerals chemistry and all these things we have detected water on the moon this would be a source for fool that we could use from the moon going to mars and things like that so it's a lot she was there 50 years is a good time now to think about returning to the moon and doing new things new science new technology and at once men's in space in space flight of course and this is to be quite a kind of international dress building. to get to the bone right we have a completely different situation in the sixty's when it was just the confrontation between the 2 blocks in the east and the wet. so now international cooperation is the key word absolutely and the united states already have been whited other spacefaring nations to participate like russia they already agreed that we should
12:22 pm
they they would share this japan and canada for instance and maybe even europe then right then you talked about how we landed on the moon actually help us to get to mas the moon is a much smaller body than the earth it has only 118th of the mass of earth so we have only $16.00 of gravity to overcome so we can use bigger mass to send to mars so and we would have an outpost on the moon or we could prepare everything and then go on to mars which will be a very long journey i mean moon is foreign of 1000 kilometers away and mass at least 60000000 gosh they want just to get the perspective in which is why we have an expert like you with us dr ornish the magellan ed a space center thank you so much for sharing your expertise with us. now turning on to other news in rwanda this health ministry has warned its citizens to avoid unnecessary travel to east and boss the democratic republic of congo after a case of
