up against corrupt rulers and dictatorship. they had hoped for more security more freedom and more dignity have their hopes been fulfilled 10 years after the arab spring. valley and starts june 7th w. . who will govern europe's biggest economy and who will succeed as chancellor after elections in september latest opinion polls have delivered a political earthquake so not just should get ready for a new face and a new name and i laid out babcock. for the 1st time in 2 years a poll makes the opposition greens the biggest party in parliament ahead of the chancellor's conservatives and phil gale and this is the day.

the team democracy lives on change and yes i have never been chancellor or a minister i am for renewal others are for the status quo. is a. strong willed he knows exactly what she wants. i am convinced this country needs a fresh start. something is happening that seemed impossible. we are fighting for the chancery the national climate change is the challenge of our times . the challenge for mine generation. also. shopping crease in central american asylum seekers crossing the border between mexico and united states d.w. correspondent karen the mitchell caught up with a hung jury about who made the journey and is now building

a new future in this new house. where miami florida says are made finally to the united states while he's waiting for his asylum to be approved he's working here at this barbershop. welcome to the day for years the face of germany has been that of one woman chancellor i'm going to back all she came to power in 2005 and that conservatives to for election victories age is now ending she says she will not be standing for election so beat a potential successor and elena bapak germany's environmentalist green party has nominated her to run for chancellor in september and she's proving to be a popular candidate for the 1st time in nearly 2 years the greens are leading the polls. right after the nomination of a no they loved their book as chancellor candidate for the greens polls showed her party in the lead ahead of chancellor angela merkel's conservatives

a temporary bump many thought a brief surge on the back of her designation and a difficult few weeks for the ruling conservative bloc but almost 3 weeks later the bear book effect appears to be sticking. the greens are now pulling ahead of the c.d.u. c.s.u. with a 4 percent increase compared to a month ago the conservatives have dropped 4 points and their partner in the current government the social democrats have also lost some support it's not only the green party and the enough they have of her self is riding high 28 percent of germans would vote for her if the chancellor could be elected directly a few percentage points above her opponents in lush it for the conservatives and all of shows for the social democrats the rise of the green party goes hand in hand with the drop in the government's approval ratings. a majority of germans now say they are dissatisfied with the work of the government after record approval in 2020

skepticism has grown about the government's crisis management during the 2nd and 3rd waves of the coronavirus pandemic and it shows the election is still more than 4 months away and anything could happen in the race but these numbers show that the greens pose a serious challenge to america's conservatives. political correspondent julie. julia so i suppose the big question is can the greens my popularity. polling in september. that is indeed a big question especially if we look at the greens record in this regard in fact they have a bit of a tradition of polling very well before an election before a vote and then not being able to deliver once the polls are open and people go and don't end up voting for them and one thing we have to also look out for is that at

the c.d.u. c.s.u. after a few issues regarding the management of the coronavirus pandemic now we see the vaccination rate in germany picking up and we may see soon an improvement in the number of coronavirus cases and deaths and real openings over the summer and that may actually help the conservatives turn the situation around and go up in the polls so has the prospect of being in government and being responsible for decisions rather than criticizing from the sidelines likely to change the greens approach was something that's going to be important for the greens if they manage to get into position that leaves them towards a government that they're going to have to be ready to compromise now given the political and the electoral system in germany a coalition government is the most likely outcome and the greens are going to have to negotiate with one other or other parties what has change also in comparison to

the past is that the greens have shifted away from their origins as a protest movement and have move more towards the center and are promoting themselves as a party for the middle of german society and that may help them be able to negotiate better with coalition partners so we had a metaphor the other orders the poles if germany's chancellor was elected directly the only candidate who would beat the greens i later bab al is don't know so why is this relative newcomer eclipsing the established big party heavyweights like the conserve his hips and shoulders from the social democrats. it's interesting not only to look at and have been available to her performance but look at the performance of her competitors i mean lash it he has been criticized for his management of the pandemic in the state that he governor's north north rhine-westphalia and his party has been rocked by some corruption scandals connected to procurement of facemask and there has been some infighting between the

conservative bloc in trying to decide on the nomination for the chancellor candidate so that has definitely brought down in the polls and if we look at all of shells from the social democrats he is not necessarily himself polling that bad in terms of how much germans are satisfied with his work but it is the party itself the s.p.d. that is dragging him down as a candidate and suggesting that it's so popular even though she has much less political experience than her right. if we look at her experience in government yes she does and she has never been part of a government both at the federal at the state level but she does have political experience per se she is nearing a decade as a member of the german parliament she is a foreign relations foreign politics expert and also a climate issue expert what is interesting is that their book as

a new face may be what germans are actually looking for at this moment after 16 years of having an get a makeover as a chancellor it depends how much germans are going to be ready for change come september julius are very funky so much so what's behind this greens in popularity and how would a green led german government be different well you're going to teach is a former colleague of the party as well as a former environment minister welcome to the w what do you think is behind this popularity. one thing after one year after and amec the people aboard in anything there has been a lot of mismanagement not because they think it is too tough it is more this flip flop of managing the crisis and for one year the government has an advantage in dealing with the crisis and now they. are made

count of the call mistakes that happened and even from those mistakes they can't do anything more than the 2nd thing is this is a historic new election for the 1st time nekton can transfer is not running for getting reelected and for the 1st time there will be a race not between the social democrat to do conservatives not including red and black men between the greens and the black conservatives right now and that's the new situation and this is reflected in the polls i do right believe any poll. now there with my wife we got about 7 have granted to cover and if again if at that out that very nicely thank you so much for that just so i'm clear how is the government mismanaged coronavirus crisis i think it has been the problem

that they didn't tell the people the truth and do not behave like it's necessary. all the time starting with the 2nd wave of the condemning told them our next 2 weeks and then we were open everyone realized that this was wrong in the most people believe that right ok this school of making promises sound thing and then is now huge disadvantage in the race for the conservatives and especially we know nothing about so you are going to have done that and we will do as we do have a fair bit of ground to cover let's talk about your party is a chance of a candidate and alaina a bad luck aside from holding various positions within the party what has she achieved that will make voters saying yes she'd be a good chancellor whether she is the leader of the county

that is dealing with the minute in question in the view of many people really next a comic crisis sadly she is a member of parliament called an 8 years that's a little longer than barack obama before you started to become president and she is tough on all these issues when you carol in this is the difference for example 2. and we lash it is still running the largest but simply one step not on the ferro not only europe. let's say the greens are successful in september and do end up leaving a german coalition government after say 2 years in power how would it be most obvious to people that greens are doing things differently. i think the main difference were really that we take serious action on combating the climate crisis

this is not only an environment question it's a question how will we now our mobility in a society how we're all in our eyes the whole industry and this doing not talking about climate crisis we. can do things we had an announcement yesterday from the german government that climate targets carbon emission targets would be ramped up that's doing not talking are you saying that that still doesn't go far enough and that a growing like government would go even further and you know that still talking would be necessary worse to reach this. increased target to increase the price for c o $2.00 we have a stock exchange now on price of $50.00 euro per ton of c

o 2 in the non emission trading sector it is still below that and 20 $5000000.00 hot the next step would be we have to increase in growth of renewable energies we have to install more capacities in wind and solar it's ridiculous one more front runner of renewable energy is now invested only attend who are renewed like china and a secret like the u.s. that's very let's look at foreign policy how quickly would you like to say a growing in that german government take to increase german defense spending to meet nato as targets of 2 percent of g.d.p. . this target is ridiculous because you seen this in this crisis 12 countries reach their target without spending any money for defense they just

grow down their economy so what we have to do is to strengthen europe to europe has to care or on its security and that means mainly for example with a view to libya are to mali and all these conflicts around us it is real not me primarily a question of nato it will be a question of the european union this will not become cheaper but if we reach 2 percent i don't know what we have is europe he seemed to care about is concrete you can't any longer rely on the us that's the truth as very clear thank you so much for joining us you're getting from germany screens thank you very much. the 1st i saw a slew of local regional and national elections in the u.k. one of the closest watched is the election of lawmakers to the scottish parliament

which could trigger a showdown with the british prime minister barak's johnson ruling scottish national party of nicolas sturgeon looks likely to be returned to power with either an absolute majority or with support from smaller parties among verbs the greens and scotland's new album party support independence and with that backing mr john could call for another referendum on independence from the united kingdom. a final results are due until saturday but sturgeon said the country was making what she called a virtuous for a better future but she stressed it was too early to tell the overall outcome as she addressed supporters in glasgow after winning reelection in her own state. well i'm feeling extremely happy 160000000 confident that we're on track to be as n.p.t. for the 4th consecutive election that to be and to have the ability to form a government again and that's an extraordinary achievement for any political party

and if that is how the results is how the election tons i'll be ready and eager to get back to work on behalf of the people of scotland so let's look into the wife in the way with john this that nick mackey who's in the scottish cup let welcome nick so despite being the ruling party of us the scottish national party went into this election without a majority so what sort of change do they need to give a mandate to ask for a 2nd independence referendum. well i think the 1st thing to consider is actually if this is how legitimate this vote is anyway if this is the 6th. election we've had for the scottish parliament and if you look at the turnout the voter turnout since $999.00 it's been around 50 percent in the 2021 scottish calm election is going to break records we're talking 63 to 64

percent turnout so if the scottish national party and see with the greens together the true independence party. have the majority you know it's highly likely then they actually have legitimacy to the right time call for a referendum but of course they're going to get a lot of opposition because. it's quite polarized in scotland so the opposition party to get it get the referendum going down the independent truett and of course the u.k. government is also data gains for independence as well but as far as legitimacy with in scotland it does look as if the same pain with the greens now that she got a good share of a large turnout to scottish parliament elected 1000 mention. of elections local national regional across the u.k.

so the very in scotland was independents the big issue that. well the big issues are getting over the pandemic the recovery from that and demi creating jobs supporting the n.h.s. cadets entrepreneur hamadou national health service we are. improving social care care for the elderly and upscaling the workforce provides a sort of he says this sounds like this lot like like pretty much a normal sort of election with with the idea of independence just being one of the issues up for grabs that you mentioned in passing in your 1st answer that if this happens then back to take that to london i'm guessing that the answer from london is going to be resoundingly no because you you have you this question was asked not to move was it was it 5 or 6 years ago scotland has already voted against independence so why bring it back. yeah you're quite right in 2014

we had a referendum on independence and if that should turn out and quite frankly about 53 pretty cool percent of scots voted to stay with the u.k. so as far as the u.k. government's concerned them particularly in the prime minister position is this was a once in a generation referendum we don't need another one at the moment which is get on with building the economy recovery but the scottish national party and the other pro independent parties they're saying that quite frankly. the arguments for staying in the union back in 2014 were in ballot. and saw and now it that people are still calling for a referendum to have another boat than it usually just image to do so let's speculate let's say the scottish nationalists. and that there was

a vote to take scotland out of a united kingdom it's scotland that's the beginning of the they have enough to sustain it and to be able to join the e.u. as an independent nation. well yeah if you actually look at the most european union countries they're actually quite small i mean you could shoot countries like germany and france of course and poland is a big country spain italy but many of the other countries you're talking the populations of 1xw5w you're scot has got a population of 1.765.75.8000000 stockman is in terms of. green in new green industries who are very strong great life sciences sector great renewable sectors so believes it can actually. function as a credible state in pay its way in. future european union and we'll

watch that with interest thank you so much for joining us journalist that nick mackey there in scotland. undocumented immigration was on the agenda and burch in virtual talks between us vice president. mexico's president and there's manuel lopez obrador the 2 leaders discussed the recent surge in migrants from central america reads he border between the 2 nations. the u.s. must help countries in the region fight corruption and boost their economy is the vice president has been charged by president biden with reducing the numbers trying to enter the us many of the migrants are fleeing violence poverty and hardship in their home countries it's a dangerous journey many don't even veach the border those who do are hoping for a better life. 3 months ago we met says saddam on.

forced him to fleet but says arse biggest wish is to see his children fulfill their own dreams. i looked at one bottle of wine is about to sell for up to a $1000000.00 as you might expect is not just any old wine petrus 2000 is one of a handful of bottles that spent more than a year in space orbiting the earth a special luxury cargo was brought aboard the international space station to test with the wind ages differently in 0 gravity now it's being auctioned off to help fund research for future cultural agriculture in space. this wine truly is out of this world vision use amount to recently returned to earth from the international space station where it spent 14 months maturing in orbit you'll be able to tell them apart today but

are promising to increase the employment rates to 78 percent by 2030 and they are also promising to train about 60 percent of the adult population every year so they would have better chances on the labor market and all of that sounds like really ambitious goals however the problem is that this declaration is a non-binding declaration and that means that if member states are not fulfilling those promises there will be no punishment and that is why there is already a lot of criticism with critics saying that what is needed is more action and less talk. i found your phone now for some more of the developments in the pandemic the world health organization has organized as authorized the emergency use of china sign a farm vaccine the 6th to make that approved list the u.k.

the 1st time in nearly 2 years 4 percentage points ahead i'm going to conservatives on the greens believe that chance and i counted it on a vein of babcock stands a good chance of getting the job right after the nomination of a no they're not bad book as chancellor candidate for the greens polls showed her party in the lead ahead of chancellor angela merkel's conservatives a temporary bump many thought a brief surge on the back of her designation and a difficult few weeks for the ruling conservative bloc but almost 3 weeks later the bad book effect appears to be sticking. the greens are now pulling ahead of the c.d.u. c.s.u. with a 4 percent increase compared to a month ago the conservatives have dropped 4 points and their partner in the current government the social democrats have also lost some support. it's not only the green party and the innovative occurs self is riding high 28 percent of germans would vote for her if the chancellor could be elected directly

a few percentage points above her opponents for the conservatives and all of shows for the social democrats the rise of the green party goes hand in hand with the drop in the government's approval ratings a majority of germans now say they are dissatisfied with the work of the government after record approval in 2020 skepticism has grown about the government's crisis management during the 2nd and 3rd waves of the coronavirus pandemic and it shows the election is still more than 4 months away and anything could happen in the race but these numbers show that the greens pose a serious challenge to america's conservatives let's get more on this from political correspondent julie. julia so i suppose the big question is can the greens maintain this popularity between now and polling day in september. that is

indeed a big question especially if we look at the greens record in this regard in fact they have a bit of a tradition of polling very well before an election before a vote and then not being able to deliver once the polls are open and people go and don't end up voting for them and one thing we have to also look out for is that of the c.d.u. c.s.u. after a few issues regarding the management of the corona virus pandemic now we see the vaccination rate in germany picking up and we may see soon an improvement in the number of coronavirus cases and deaths and real openings over the summer and that may actually help the conservatives turn the situation around and go up in the polls so has the prospect of being in government and being responsible for decisions rather than criticizing from the sidelines likely to change the greens approach. something that's going to be important for the greens if they manage to

get into position that leaves them towards a government that they're going to have to be ready to compromise now given the political and the electoral system in germany a coalition government is the most likely outcome and the greens are going to have to negotiate with one other or other parties what has change also in comparison to the past is that the greens have shifted away from their origins as a protest movement and have move more towards the center and are promoting themselves as a party for the middle of german society and that may help them be able to negotiate better with coalition partners so we had to reform their gourds the poles if jerry jones that was elected directly the only candidate who would beat the greens our later bab al is don't know so why is this relative newcomer eclipsing the established big party heavyweights like the conservatives shifted over the shoulders from the social democrats. it's interesting not only to look at i have

been available to her performance but look at the performance of her competitors shit he has been criticized for his management of the pandemic in the state that he governor's north north rhine-westphalia and his party has been rocked by some corruption scandals connected to procurement of facemask and there has been some infighting between the conservative bloc in trying to decide on the nomination for the chancellor candidate so that has definitely brought down in the polls and if we look at all of shells from the social democrats he is not necessarily himself polling that bad in terms of how much germans are satisfied with his work but it is the party itself the s.p.d. that is dragging him down as a candidate and suggesting that was so popular even though she has much less political experience than her. if we look at her experience in government yes she

does that she has never been part of a government both at the federal at the state level but she does have political experience per se she is nearing a decade as a member of the german parliament she is a foreign relations foreign politics expert and also a climate issue expert what is interesting is that their book as a new face may be what germans are actually looking for at this moment after 16 years of having an get america as a chancellor it depends how much germans are going to be ready for change come september julius are very thank you so much. and german football up one does lead to much they fed you kicked off on friday night and got kept bash slim hopes of european qualification a life with a hard for win over but with the school luck to want to gobs of top scorer. i can lids. headed in the winning goal 15 minutes from time the wind came to the

hounslow we'll bring you uncle a man as you've never had to have before surprise yourself with what is possible who is magical really what moves. up to 2 people who follows her along the way maurice and critics alike telling us that michael's last stop. a disappointing jobs report for the world's biggest economy tell us labor market adding far fewer jobs than expected in april we tell you what's behind the slowdown . collapsed financial firm have lost big and they might not get the money back. we began with a surprising setback for the administration the u.s.

economy added 266000 jobs last month far short of expectations of 1000000 jobs the department of labor. and hospitality were offset by layoffs of temporary workers and couriers here's what joe biden had to say. we knew we were facing a one pandemic and a once in a generation economic crisis and we knew this wouldn't be a sprint it be a marathon quite frankly removing more rapidly than i thought we would this morning we learned that our economy created 266000 jobs in april you might think that we should be disappointed but when we passed the american rescue plan i want to remind everybody was designed to help us over the course of a year not 60 days president joe biden there playing the disappointing jobs numbers as

a cause for concern. joins us now why have so few jobs been added. yes you know clearly a couple of reasons so i just stood by the way i walked by a couple of help wanted signs so a lot of the jobs missing there are actually where we do have a job offering so low paying jobs and always all the apec inches from washington for unemployed people for instance you can get up to $600.00 a week so it might be worse not working but actually waiting for a better job or a better pay but that's clearly not the whole picture there are also some structural problems and if you look at schools in the country for instance a lot of schools are not fully open yet so if you're working parent actually it might be impossible to take a job while your kids are told and homeschooling my son for instance he hasn't seen a classroom since march of last year so clearly

a couple of effect years why this job number came in so much lower than expected you've detailed a few reasons but the u.s. secretary of commerce has also pointed to the chip shortage as a factor in the hiring slowdown what has been the impact of that. yeah you saw that for example in the manufacturing area jobs that actually even got lost in april it was the chip shortage that we've talked about so much in the past couple of weeks and months you did see production came to a halt at least temporary as some effect the reason the united states so that also played a role why there were fewer jobs and then maybe we also overstated all those big job gains that we saw in the month of march or february we shouldn't forget at some point last year a lot of companies actually put their workers on furlough and now that the real economy as a result but things are now they're coming back from furlough but it's not
