security issues only 5 years later she entered the border start the german parliament at the age of 32 there she quickly and respect for her thorough nasa knowledge of detail she has a degree in international law and spent several years abroad in the us london and brussels she now lives in potsdam with her husband and their 2 young daughters best series yet they carefully choreographed announcement came in sharp contrast to the bruising power struggle still going on within germany's conservative party both contenders there were quick to react to bear box candidacy. an early not big on gretsch bear book and i can promise her that the c.d.u. in germany is looking for want to a fair election campaign. position of unfeeling viacom's or it. can only clouds our own skin it will be about the 1st place conservatives the greens hopefully it will be a fair good and argumentative but also ambitious election campaign. to me so i

would be very happy to be a part of it but we are not there yet in the midst. while the conservatives are still squabbling internally and only now baucus already focusing on the general election in september and on becoming angular machall successor our political response i mean young is the story of for you simon now what are the chances of becoming germany's next chancellor. well if they're quite good really she does still need to be endorsed as candidate by a congress of the greens in june but. chances really are good because the party's chances are good the greens have been doing well in poll after poll in recent months consistently polling above 20 percent that makes them the 2nd party in german politics at the moment so it may well be that come the general

election in september the greens are then in a position to choose whether to join a conservative led coalition or perhaps to themselves lead a left of center coalition in the 2nd case and a lane of bare voc just 40 years of age would become germany's next chancellor and i would just say that bareboat probably does need now to over the next few months and present herself to a wider public she's not. not a very trying to pull it in she hasn't held high office her career has been mainly within the green party so she'll need to sort of spread her appeal if she wants to indeed end up becoming the next german chancellor as some or all of this is happening as the political or the leadership contest is still being played out among the c.d.u. and c s you where we at with that. well we have to the 2

contenders in the race to be the candidate for the conservative side are men lashon he leads the larger of the 2 parties the c.d.u. and marcus said he leads the varian c.s.u. and is considerably more popular in the polls the problem the conservatives have got is they don't really have a clear process for making this decision deciding between these 2 men they had hoped to get it done before today. earlier on today the varian c.s.u. held a meeting they said well they now put it in the hands of their larger sister party to make the decision so i mean lash the c.d.u. leader is called a meeting of his tree for the c evening and what i can tell you is that there may well be a decision coming if not tonight then in the next couple of days but it's worth saying that by contrast with the greens process of selecting and smoothly unveiling

their candidate as they've done on time today as they said they would and what's going on in the conservative parties is a bit more chaotic and frankly disorganized political correspondent sam young reporting thank you now let's take a look at some of the other stories making headlines around the world. russia's prison service says it's transferring the jailed opposition leader alexina vali to a medical facility mr of all these doctors say he's on the brink of death 3 weeks into a hunger strike the united states and the european union have warned of consequences if he dies in prison the kremlin says missing of all these health should not interest the west. moscow has expelled 20 czech diplomats in a day after prague ordered out 18 russian officials who it said were military spies russia had promised to retaliate saying the czech republic was trying to please the

united states. and gyptian authorities say at least 11 people have died and nearly 100 are injured after a passenger train derailed near cairo on sunday the train was traveling from the egyptian capital to the nile delta city of misurata egypt has seen several railway tragedies in recent years. in the u.s. state of minnesota the trial of a former police officer charged with killing george floyd last year is wrapping up the prosecution to has begun making its closing statements the defense are also due to speak later today but white police officer derek shown was restraining mr floyd a 48 year old black man when he died in minneapolis last may the jury will have to decide whether mr sheldon committed homicide the verdict is expected to have huge political and social weaver operations.

guilty or not that is the question 12 men and women will debate behind closed doors after the george floyd murder trial moves to closing arguments. the defendant derek shoaf in was fired from the minneapolis police department last year after floyd died in his custody video of the incident shows shows in holding floyd down with his need for more than 9 minutes resulting protest against police brutality and racial injustice or some of the most intense and widespread in the united states has seen in decades the case hinges on cause of death prosecutors say it was homicide and if turned to expert witnesses to back up that claim show lawyer says drugs heart issues and other factors led to floyd's death for their multiple. multiple entities. together and into each. and taking away from a different part. of. the. oxygen to use.

during cross-examination the prosecutor was able to poke some holes in the defense experts claims do you feel that mr floyd should have been given. immediate emergency attention to try to reverse the cardiac arrest as a physician i would agree. george floyd's death is symbolic of police tactics across the us that disproportionately impact black minority and poor communities a guilty verdict would be one of the few instances of a police officer facing legal consequences for actions leading to unnecessary death or injury on the ground honestly believe. they have a conviction chauvelin trial for the killing of george floor because set a precedence in america where we were pretty nice folks being held accountable in the prison for killing black people in america we demand that people deal

with the question of the 2 levels of policing in this country one for. i want for whites and we want better world laws to be passed and falls for floyd's family the big picture pain of racial discrimination is compounded by personal loss that even a guilty verdict cannot undo he. he was one of those people in the community. when they had church. people with churches just because he was nobody to go out there or to they see him and. he just was like a person that everybody looked around we did he he just knew how to make people feel better. derek show in faces multiple charges the

most severe 2nd degree murder carries a maximum sentence of 40 years all right and we can take you now to minneapolis and standing right outside the courthouse is our correspondent stephanie seymour on set stephon good to see the attorneys are about to make their closing arguments behind you can you outline briefly what their respective narratives have been. big day for minneapolis minnesota for the state here a big day for the united states because all eyes are on the exactly that what you said the closing arguments and then the jury deliberations which will start right after today in the. trial so this is all about is remember this is the last time the jurors will hear from prosecution or the defense team meaning this is the time that they have to connect the dots so to speak prosecution will reiterate everything and connect to everything in their closing argument they have brought

forward in the last 2 weeks they brought 38 witnesses and experts to the stand and now they're making their points again in summary so to speak the defense will try the same thing and as we heard in the piece prosecution focused on saying this was unnecessary measures taken by. which caused the death of george floyd and the as pointed out in the piece we saw and by you and the defense will try now in conclusion again to poke holes into this and say no this was not the only cause at least not the only cause if at all the cause because mr floyd had some drugs in his bloodstream in his system that's again the closing argument after that the jury's owners are on the jurors and are on their own to do we know when we can expect a verdict. well we can but of course they are all kinds of options so remember. it takes all jurors to agree on a sentence or

a guilty or not guilty verdict and they can do this with 3 in 3 charges as you as we mentioned the. second degree murder charge the 3rd degree murder charge and the 2nd degree manslaughter charge so there is no telling if this is going to be really quickly done in a day or 2 if they need 2 days to deliberate fully sequestered by the way not not allowed to contact anybody but family in the evening and then not allowed to talk about the trial but otherwise no outside contact for the jurors. or it could take longer than this if it takes longer than this experts are of the same opinion that the longer it takes the more. it is for the prosecution potentially and the better for the defense so the quicker this is over the jury deliberates and then decides on guilty or not guilty various the better we will see we have to wait we

have to wait indeed to and briefly if you can assignment this is a very very crucial trial in the u.s. that's closely followed. yeah of course you have no idea if this is the entire nation is watching this trial is a historic trial it's absolutely unheard of remember highlight of this of the proceeding was that the so-called blue wall was not just cracked she cried it crumbled the silence normally police officers put around and protection put around other police officers who did or did not something wrong whatever allegedly wrong this crime with the police chief came and said it was all wrong it was bad it was against policy so yes the nation's eyes everybody's eyes even the white house is watching this very closely and this city this state and this country is on edge as i think it's fair to say everybody is on edge everybody wants to see how this will . if this is going to be a in quotes wrong verdict there is the fear that violence will be

happening and occurring all over the country not just here 7 seaman's reporting from right outside the courthouse in minneapolis thank you. some countries in europe are struggling to get enough vaccine doses for their populations but that's not the case in serbia where until recently foreigners were being invited to take up the offer of surplus shots the government has now put a stop to vaccine tourism and has decided to place more focus on getting serbian residents to say yes to corona virus vaccines 1st reports from belgrade. 5 yes it is the next person in one's turn about 4000 doses are being administered here today at the biggest call the vaccination center in the country has procured some 15000000 vaccines for a population of 7000000. serbia has more vaccines on offer than serbians to want

them in fact there's a surplus of russia and all the chinese and. other vaccines so the country have been inviting foreigners to take the japs the emphasis is on pad on the 9th of april the government decided to suspend the vaccination of foreigners on to food a notice about 30000 had received a vaccine so far a lot of foreigners came back to now it's impossible because of the commission of the government so they need to be a resident here or get married here or something like that. for for now the announcement came after infection rates began rising again the government had apparently realised he needed to convince more of its own citizens to get a jap 1st at least one in 3 people in serbia believes to some extent in conspiracy theories that claim they are unsafe. i believe egypt is the next governor and he will see everyone who got the vaccine will soon die teen.

i think of it is not safe enough and that's why i don't want to get it is to today's and that skepticism is also apparent on the great streets restaurants are fool open and almost no one is wearing a mask epidemiologist so don't buy the vinyl which says the government focused too much on positive news about procuring vaccines why not doing enough to actually stand the spread of the virus recover popularist the government and our leader was a form of demonstrating that is his more able than anyone on arrows and the other really there to provide that what is needed and he ignores the fact that it 1st in our society to educate people so far about 1200000 people have been fully vaccinated in subiaco according to official numbers a high percentage by comparison with other countries in europe but far from enough

to and soon be a spent dummy in an effort to increase immunization c.v.s. the government has no storage focusing on its own citizens instead of foreigners if you could understand serbian you would be able to read the message on the side of this local bus it says get vaccinated. and as millions of people around the world remain separated by travel restrictions people living in australia and new zealand are now free to visit each other again while the 2 countries have opened a quarantine free travel bubble and for the 1st time in more than a year airports have been playing host to some emotional reunions. for. leaders. reunited after more than a year apart families friends and grandparents meeting their. or not so new born grandchildren for the 1st time and relief as the travel bubble between australia

and new zealand finally opens. for real business is going to have never been a cigarette pack or come back i like she didn't run out this welcome home is testament to both countries efforts in fighting the pandemic they've managed to defeat the virus with strict border controls and quarantine requirements. it was really weird feeling to be allowed to and numerous feels like a break in the rule of the movie that we haven't seen into the for 14 months thank goodness busy man messenger and stuff yes so interesting there announced it at 4 o'clock last she's a tempest for a book to to get us right away to speed a very long time and so much life is heaven and it it's so nice to see. these are the 1st steps towards what astri and new zealand hope will become a gradual view with the rest of the world. that we assign that you really get it

it's just very wonderful to be up to something. so it's quick handing the vast borders site. the travel bubble had to be set backs for months after small i breaks in both countries now i everyone is hoping that the bubble burst. trade stuff now to a massive shake up in european football 12 top clubs from spain italy and england have announced the formation of a breakaway super league the new midweek competition will be independent of european football's governing body the u.a.e. 5 but germany's top clubs buy in munich and meant they won't be joining meant to have released a statement saying they and by and reject these super league prefer instead to perform new free phones existing or reform rather you wafers existing champions league. mr julian you a few scratches on its biggest money spinner for the champions league is now under threat from the breakaway super league you wait for is reacted with fury to the

proposals saying enough is enough and adding. the cops concerned will be banned from playing in any of the competition at domestic european or world level and their players could be denied the opportunity to represent the national teams. a breakaway league of europe's top clubs has been rumored for a while but the plans of never been as advanced as this financially backed by the u.s. investment bank j.p. morgan. the league will be formed of 20 clubs 15 permanent you can be relegated 5 that and their place on merit games would be played mid week 1st in 2 groups of 10 the top 3 from each would then go through to knockout rounds to determine the winner. events is present andrea nearly has been one of those behind the proposals even though he sat on a fence board. if there is interest by these kind of mayors these financial

institutions it means there is. a potential for a bright future within our industry. has been widespread backlash to the plans its founders corny to greedy power grab. is to have this great taken out of a i think by the fans a lot of fans that. as well i like keeping the status quo i think things work relegation and promotion good things they keep the provide competition. sounds motivated by money but greed switch is not a good thing to be in the game anyway you wait for one point to give up on it's cash cow without a fight the super league is digging in launching legal action to stop us from blocking the league's formation. well let's hear more now on the super league from a super fan the executive director of the group called football supporters in europe or we're in an event run in a very warm welcome once you make of some of the best european clubs playing each

other on a regular basis because i imagine to some fans the super league bank sounds like a dream. i do it it sounds like a dream full of the fans and certainly sound extremely boring to a lot of causes the beauty of the european football is about its diversity and what we see now is the concentration of us well spyware and the top of the game in the hands of a few clubs that are currently spreading with 3 countries that might be 3456 in the end when the project is long but the idea is to concentrate the elite of your principle into the hands of a few clubs a few investors and just a few. western european countries so indeed this will make european football less european and it will shrink into a yes just the hands of few cups in the united states as you know there are also close leagues like the. proposed super league like the american football's and f.l.

and the n.b.a. for basketball for example both are clearly quite successful with a huge fan base is why can't this work as well. yeah this successful but they're very different from culture and doesn't america is very different to what we know in europe the legal framework as well as the economy of the sports and what chance are ready or able to stand in into into football and other sports is extremely different as well as in europe says no and you know in america i think what we're seeing here as well as a number of clubs that wants to to have the cake and eat it too. they want the comfort they want the security of the central system but without the stronger. regulation that we see not in america i haven't seen any saying in what was published yesterday that lean into into a. highly regulated system as the as the nose in the american one so they want to have the security they want the private to the private competition but without any

form of strict regulation why in german clubs like buy new and dortmund and also french club. but he says i'm a steering clear of this at least for now. you know it's a good question i think they're the best place to answer it. the big difference between the german and english clubs for example is that the german one some member run so well. i think there is still hope and in german football and the power in the hands of self the of the fans of the members of the club that sort of present the real come to power in this in this discussion i feel france it's interesting that paris is clearly a decent shaking itself from from this it might have to do with the fact that the qatari investors are not in in not in this for for the money it's about it's about public relations it's about international politics and the same stands with the least they have the political backlash against against the super league project they would clearly not benefit from joining the super league so i distaste they

have they are staying on the side of the sports governing bodies and the public institutions will see where sings go in the near future i head of the football supporters in your own evan thank you for joining us thank you. and coming up next to it some are today the science magazine show well are going on behalf of the entire news team thank you so much for spending this part of your day with us will have the world headlines for you again at the top of the our.
