we're going to probably get some species. and. this is what we do is live from berlin the new boss wins approval for her team with a promise to make the european union a green it a superpower ursule bonder line has set an ambitious goal of cutting carbon and creating jobs but can the 1st woman president get all member states on board we put that very question to her also coming up rescuers hunt through rubble for survivors

of albania's worst earthquake in 30 years more than 2 dozen people have died while families of those missing wait anxiously for news. do you use it or lose it so if you haven't logged into twitter a while well you might want to the company's about to delete the accounts of millions of in active users. on the hard thank you so much for joining us a new teen is set to take the reins of power in the e.u. european lawmakers have approved a group of new commissioners taking over the executive branch of the european union 1st of underlying well now formally take charge of the european commission this sunday should be the 1st woman in the eaves top job earlier von der leyen outlined her plans. for the presidency is strasburg saying she would focus on equality and

the environment. and our buses birches max hoffman is as strong as vote for us they caught up with the incoming in a christian president or. the europe that you want to build with this new commission how is the rest of the world supposed to view it. well i think it's time that europe is stepping up to be assertive and confident we have to give a lot to the world and if you look at the topics of the european green deal or digitalisation the european voice is needed so i think it's time to position europe in a new format let's a concrete example the united states competitor a partner in these days our friends in the united states our partners i mean we have a strong foundation over decades and if you look at all the people who are having

friendship and business contacts with our american friends this is what the transatlantic bonds of the transatlantic friendship is all about of course we do have issues but. as with good partners you have to discuss these issues and solve them what about china. china is on a different page. it is moving more into a direction where we have to figure out how to deal with topics that are difficult for example the social scoring in china poses a lot of question. the way the ballot and road initiative. is structured has many open questions for us so that will be a topic to discuss with china and will set up seems like you have very ambitious

goals for example for the green deal europe being carbon neutral by 2050 are you setting the goals very high in order to achieve maybe something in between i think you have to be ambitious because 5 years is a long time and the fight against climate change cannot wait i mean it's not waiting for politics to move either we change in a positive way or it's going to be very bad for our planet a very bad for us same goes actually for digitalisation to have the rest of the world will not wait for europe so we better step up in digitalization and i think it's worth to put ambitious goals because my experience many many years in politics is that the goals are the more you fight for getting along so the real question is how are you going to get it done europe is divided this european parliament right here is divided even france and germany don't get along at the moment so how are you actually going to get things done it was so important today to have this majority and actually it was

a vast majority of almost 2 thirds that shows that on a positive agenda. this parliament has a constructive majority they want to move things forward and this is very good for a start what about the leaders though i mean france and germany are not getting along at the moment how are you going to get everybody on the same page i have a different view. for example i was supported by every head of state or government and i think it's normal that you have different views on topics this is democracy you have to discuss it but then you have to find solutions and step forward and if i look at the long lines in europe i think there's a lot we can be proud of so of course there are challenges ahead of us but keeping in mind that this european union with all its diversity is a very successful model we should keep on going good luck was from the link that you very much. max hoffman there and strasburg of well next up we're going to shift

our attention to albania were rescuers are still searching for survivors a day after a powerful earthquake there all authorities say at least $28.00 people are known to have died with hundreds more injured of a magnitude 6.4 tremor struck about 60 kilometers northwest of the capital tirana you may find some of the images in our next report disturbing. finding survivors of albania's worst earth quake in 30 years is a slow and delicate operation but it is year old ing results. a man has pulled out of a collapsed building a life in 2 man one of the towns hardest hit by the quake it's around 20 kilometers from the epicenter. of that out of there but many were not so lucky. or in the same town a child's body was found. the quake struck early on tuesday morning when most of

the people here were asleep in bed. in my bedroom went to my kid's room and the door just slammed on me like i hurt both my arms this is horrible i mean there were. numerous off the shops followed the main quake adding to the fear and causing further damage albania is one of the poorest countries in europe and its neighbors were quick to offer help teams from its legal research romania are already helping in rescue operations. while the water using hand signals rescue was asked to silent as they listened for cries of people trapped under the wreckage many people are still missing their families are hoping and praying they will be found alive. and malta a series of high level resignations has rocked the government well that's as a scandal grows over the sas nation of the investigative journalist daphne khurana

country needs stability plays the moment and place on my mandate might actions and decisions in the coming hours and days will be aimed to ensure that stability is maintained in protest to say democracy in the country has long been on the slide the law broken in more ways than one. twitter has announced it will begin deleting accounts that have been in active for more than 6 months when a company has been sending out e-mails to users if they want to keep their handles while they better log in before december 11th or their accounts will become history twitter didn't say how many accounts would fit that criteria although it is expected to run in the millions. as cif is here with me wow i better start locking before i lose my handle why does the right it is not 6 wise why are they

doing this other official justification is about the privacy policies because they've updated their privacy policies recently so this is people who have not accepted these rules will get kicked out but of course there's other reasons why they're doing this one of them is that they want people to trust them more they want credibility on their site and get rid of accounts does that so you know yourself and you go on twitter you see somebody with 10000 followers you think oh this is somebody you know but if half of those are in active accounts now means something different and they want to be very clear about that the other issue is hackers so it's a lot easier to hack and to use than accounts illegally if that account is an active because if you log into somebody's account as a hacker and they don't notice then of course you can use that and this is been done these amik state has even started doing this and has been using these accounts for terrorist propaganda so twitter wants to get rid of all of these problems by leading an active accounts but it seems like they're using the dragnet kind of tool

for this have users were legitimate handles complained about this has there been pushback there has been major concerns that this could run amok and delete a lot of legitimate accounts that are in the public interest so there's 2 concerns here the one is that some public figures who are not active on twitter anymore. or who have passed away they have these accounts that are in the public interest that you want to go to as public record and they could be caught up and to distract that as you call it one of them is. this 44 that obama's former twitter handle now he's probably not at risk because the national archives is watching out for that account and his internet account but there are plenty of other people not as prominent as the former president of the us who could get caught up into that the 2nd thing is private users so just your ordinary twitter user who may be passed away the family wants that twitter account to keep existing but unlike facebook twitter does not have

a policy of archiving these accounts and now this into the wanted to delete them any signs that maybe jack of to it or might reconsider this potential policy twitter has been pretty clear that they're going through this but there have been some attempts to kind of anticipate this and archive accounts so one prominent archive as he calls himself an internet archive is jason scott he has started an initiative where you can go onto his website and you can log in you can you can put an account of a deceased deceased person on there and he says you archive it as long as he can maintain the capacity there but this is just one effort and of course they can't accommodate for all of the millions of counts that might be deleted and it's a question of digital heritage even unesco has said the digital heritage is part of human legacy so a lot of people are worried that twitter is making a mistake here and deleting something that's important for humanity basically just throwing books into public records into the fire all right thank you so much.
