deep political. allegations of a cover up of the suspected. of an investigative judge. program and. i'm still gail welcome to the program. the european union's incoming commission president has won the parliament's approval for her new t.v. a sort of funded line is the 1st woman to hold a used top job and she has set out ambitious goals to turn the bloc into

a green superpower and boost economic growth as well as those challenges should also have to deal with deep divisions amongst a u. member states resoundingly approval from the e.u. parliament confirming the new team of incoming commission president lyon. on the line is the 1st ever woman commission president and her team of 26 don't differ too much in profile from the usual brussels career politicians but her ambitions are marked change her ideas of forward thinking as is the gender balance of her team it is a team with almost all levels as many women as men only one woman away from gender balance this shows. this shows we have made real progress but also that we still have to do more from

the lines primary focus is on climate change at the upcoming international climate meeting in madrid this december she plans to present a european green deal which aims to make europe the 1st climate neutral continent by 2050. we do not have a moment to waste any more on fighting climate change. the faster europe moves. the greater the advantage will be for our citizens our competitiveness and our prosperity. to get going from the line will have to overcome europe's internal political problems once in office this sunday she'll begin torin european capitals selling her green vision as something quote inclusive recognizing that many countries such as poland and indeed germany still rely on coal for electricity she also needs to tackle countries like hungary which aren't

too keen on european values despite being member states she certainly has a big job ahead of her. all day brussels bureau chief mass hoffman was at the confirmation hearings in strasburg we asked him which were the issues member states wanted to fund the line to tackle 1st. it really depends in which country you ask the people and as you mention it there's a new poll out from the bell this month foundation and they say for example that the most important topic for the germans is fighting climate change in other countries like france and italy it would be job security and cutting down on the cost of living so close enough funded lion is going to tackle both or at least try to tackle both those are the most important topics one the so-called european green deal that she wants to have for the european union and the other one is digitalisation which is of course closely connected to job security the future of employment in general but you have to keep in mind today was not just about you

know what they're going to do the next 5 years especially for fund and her commissioners it was also an important day after all those obstacles coming here that they got such a convincing vote and we got to talk to one of the most important persons in that commission vice executive president mike it's a vest earlier today take a listen after all the the bumps in the road of the last months you are now officially a commissioner of the new commission how do you feel i feel grant's also because he's such a convincing that it's it is said to search the members of parliament as we show that face that's trust in us that we will do our best and you know what they say you should enjoy the 1st day because tomorrow problems start so i know i'm very happy ok so every have problems yesterday tomorrow the problem starts to you enjoy today nevertheless you are one of the vice executive presidents of this commission with a very important portfolio making europe fit for the digital age do you think that's

realistic if you look at the competition from the united states from china europe is liking so much behind don't you agree well we do not behind in some areas but in other areas france is when it comes to research when it comes to the business to business technology. well we're doing good and the thing is that being 50 just my age is not just about developing technology it's about using technology and using it for things that we find has a good purpose better health getting more easy here from aid to be fighting pollution in there in areas where we want to be 3 d. so lots and lots of things not just a competition between china and the u.s. can you give us an example maybe one company one thing that gives you hope that europe is actually able to catch up. well you see both i think the one that most of us know would be spotify because that is for us as. but where you find mist of them is in the business to business environment you know my colleague plato came from

it's us they do exactly that french commissioner exactly the french commissioner that has delivered for businesses to be able to do the 2nd one of course would be a safety which also of dealing in the business to business environment providing the dates the number crunching businesses to do them best and what will you do i mean how will you go about your job you've been in the last commission with trying to your cause do you have a different approach this time more energy less energy how are you going to do this . but i think it is a commission of of new beginnings and i think we feel more confidence was left on the line says that this is going to be more geo political which is to be sort of a more assertive europe and more self-assured europe and europe ready to take its place also on the global scale so is your message if i read this correctly to the competition in the us and in china get ready europe is coming. but we are

coming from for our own sake because this is about making europe better for us as europeans i think in that process we'll also be firm competitors towards the others in years a new vice president for digitizing i said best asked the king to. instruct. now 2 out rescuers are searching for survivors a day after a powerful earthquake wealth or to say at least 30 people are known to have died with hundreds more injured the magnitude $6.00 event struck about 60 kilometers northwest of the capital to run it you may find some of the images in this report disturbing. finding survivors of albania's worst earthquake 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 alive into one of the towns hardest hit by the quake it's around 20 kilometers from the epicenter. but many were not

german chancellor angela merkel has renewed her pledge to raise germany's defense spending the chancellor was speaking during the debate in the german parliament about the government's budget for 2020 she also responded to recent criticism of nato by the french president sonia alliance was as important today as it was during the cold war. i handshake with the minister of defense. then in his speech chancellor angela merkel focused on urgent foreign policy issues and offered a spirited defense of nato that are good enough to step back and i think even more so than jaring the cold war maintaining at night is very much in our interest. once again because as the foreign minister said yesterday europe is not in a position to defend itself alone i live in a mission that they didn't visit and we depend on the transatlantic alliance so we must support and assume greater responsibility for it and for. that and

she said germany is ready to spend more on defense but that if you the defense minister has drawn up a plan for germany to play a greater role in the alliance with our defense budget reaching 2 percent of g.d.p. by the early 20 thirties and we are committed to that. the opposition left party strongly criticized the plan parliamentary group leader accused the government of spending too much money on the army. give off with things pretty your policy on military spending is dangerous it's expensive and ultimately your surrendering to donald trump from. even merkel's coalition partners the social democrats criticized her defense policy is. one of the avoided least the social democrats do not want to support this push for military dominance we want to strong position and diplomacy and in the civilian struggle against humanitarian catastrophes we

think this is the better course of action would he go 1st because this is. in already difficult times for the german government the nato spending commitment could put further strain on the coalition. of german president. has awarded one of the co. his most prestigious prizes to a team of computer scientists from munich the german future prize went to engineers alexander into martin plank and pastor norman after one for their work in developing groundbreaking data analytics software the price recognises innovation in science and technology they used to highlight projects with the potential to create jobs is more now on the developments of big data breakthrough and how they hope to make businesses more efficient. before milk reaches supermarket shelves it goes on a long journey it's picked up from the dairy farm and often rerouted before it's

delivered to stores consumers expect the supermarket to be fully stocked when this supply chain doesn't work it's often hard to find out exactly what went wrong. these 3 men aim to spot issues and optimize processes like these. and martin klencke have to develop software that can improve the production processes of entire companies. processes like these occur every day our lives a filled with them they actually make our world function and every process can be optimized. optimizing processes is usually a job for consultants who examine them in companies and find inefficiencies consultants ask for specific information and usually collect data at a certain point in time but these 3 have

a completely different approach. i thought in everyday life people have to make decisions all the time and obviously your decisions can only be as good as the information you have so learn as provides information that people need in order to make the very best decisions. that. the trio's co idea make sure all the necessary information is always available in principle it's clear where the milk is and when but nobody uses this data you have to dig it up that's known as process mining the software collects that information and creates a visual display of the process. ringback that makes it easier to spot a hitch for instance. here. is on time at store 12 but not at store 13 the reason that traffic incident as a result customers are unhappy and employees are left waiting. valuating the

data a different delivery route can be found improving the process. we've surely all had situations in which we were frustrated when despite our best efforts we're dissatisfied after things done turn out how they're supposed to but think of chess the success of chess player is always the one of thinking several moves ahead . in large companies where production processes are interwoven it is often difficult to keep track of them because everything is interconnected if you change something in one place you never quite know the effects it will have elsewhere like in a game of chess. this trio's main goal is to make companies better and more efficient by letting them analyze their own self generated data using the process mining technique. this is an important week for the future

of european space missions a ministers of member states of the european space agency will meet in space to discuss how much to invest in the agency's various projects high on the agenda is the new launch vehicle on the 6 which cost around $3.00 and a half 1000000000 euros to develop but would it make you or space launch is more profitable and kind of competes with rockets of private space entrepreneurs like jeff bezos or richard branson. europe's new space shuttle is launching into a fiercely competitive market with new financially powerful rifles and it's a biased contest the chinese russians and americans benefit from many public sector orders noticed institutional launches which can only be given to domestic rockets this stipulation doesn't apply in europe space x. office prices in europe that are hard for domestic launches to compete with. the

distance of an plutus is information it's not a secret. if you search online you'll see that space x. recently sold launches for falcon 9 for $100000000.00 and offer the same rockets to europe for $50000000.00 that's half the price. from fatigue on the board. the launch costs for r a m $6.00 have to be brought down dramatically by at least 40 percent which is no mean feat. that's why they're relying on synergies. new boosters have been developed and tested but they give the shuttle the thrust it needs during takeoff and they will likely be used for europe smaller fake or rockets as well. this means they can produce more units which reduces production costs. the operators expect the biggest savings

to come from the new production methods like the protective insulation on the upper section. plates used to be glued to the outside of the market by hand a time consuming process. arianne 6 and for the 1st time these components sprayed on by overbought. so much it's emitted like this creates a uniform surface which is important for the structures on the upper section. because it's much better and easier if you have much better control of the process if it's and it's much more cost effective than the previous method would have said there are $2.00 versions planned for the new rocket one will be able to launch 2 satellites and the other will be able to launch for the operators hope this flexibility will help to attract more customers. that calling for e.u. funds for rockets to go to european produces. because in z.f. you mean we're much more dependent on the commercial market it's just

a question of fairness even if we have institutional launches and europe we should launch with the european rocket. up to 12 rocket said to be produced annually double the previous amount. this fuel tank will soon take off on its maiden flight . the 1st carry on 6 will launch from french briana at the end of 2020. 30 children these days time spent in school is just part of their learning but fewer than odd after school activities and actually tuition the pressure can be unbearable this is the reality for many of china's schoolchildren were told of the best grades will guarantee them a brighter future. joe waits here every day at 330 for her son's class to end she quit her job so that she could spend more time raising shall show. the 7 year old spends 7 hours

are self if she's pushing him too far she. learns so isn't that many children now in china excellent students but then they fail an important exam and they can't deal with the frustration and they jump off a roof top what matters most to me is to raise a healthy personality. that's an issue that's much discussed on the internet in china the competition to enter the best schools in universities is fierce and there is one thing that has not changed for generations chinese characters require a lot of practice. at 930 he's finally done bedtime. he just finished 12 hours of studying and activities. and now it's sunday but he's not off today either weekends are the busiest time for tutors. shall shows parents have decided to limit his activities on weekends to one class per day
