yeah absolutely because the green parties of course being campaigning on these very issues and the green party kind of really -- stood. side by side with citizens movements and ngos during the paris climate change two weeks in twenty fifteen to say -- you know the goals set i'm not ambitious enough the calendar is an ambitious enough -- and at the toll gets a basically off i'm so the green party kind of sees itself as acts on it in a way the traditional -- political bubble and it obviously -- identifies with these young people say how the greens actually doing in the european election campaign let's bring you a graphic. all of a an opinion poll from eiffel -- which is a french institution this survey -- from this thursday we just one poll it's still early days a lot of undecided vases according to i thought. but anywayy you've got -- the greens actually in fourth place that with eight point 5%. behihind the cononservative paro clearly a much bigger - -- sort of slice of a m much much bigger share of the vote potentially for them then in. national elections in france -- sickly that hoping

a procedural thing that was not ruled on and it is the green party there in the european parliament that has launched this push to find out more details what do they find i expect to find out about life to say. well the greens and all that the in the piece the filed the suit in luxembourg saying we want full transparency we will rebuild we will have access to the original data and now independent scientists can check if these studies are actually correct and the greens do not claim that the agency lied or that there is some hidden things that about life is aids but but these the discussion about dark life is it which is highly political and highly emotional will surely continue after this ruling and also if you take into account that not only in the u. but also in the united states there's some. tough action suits running against life is safe right now all right banned riegert in brussels for us and good to talk to you. israel's hebrew university has released a new collection of albert einstein's manuscripts from

of mordor let's speak to spend gold he's a member of the european parliament from the green party and one of the supporters of the case being decided today by the u. he joins us from brussels mr gold thanks for being with us so why is this ruling today so important. it is so important because. when it comes to health and safety concerns of food there should be full transparency and this case is about getting access to the original data and the original studies which have been used by the european food and safety agency in order to approve got to say and the whole point of science is that results can be read can be tried to be repeated by other researchers but this is only possible if the original studies and their main basic data is published and this is not the case this was we asked for the data it was refused and now we went to court to get it what do you think would change if the court decides to grant you access to those studies.

gold is a green party member of the european parliament and back this case joins us from brussels welcome to d.w. have you not got what you wanted well we have very happy of course that transparency has prevailed over business secrets that this shows the e.u. is finally enforcing european legislation but i have to say it's not yet the very top level of court still the f's could go and appeal the judgment we hope that they are reasonable and are now releasing the documents the public is waiting for and look what is the commission's a reason for keeping these documents secret. well that two different legal principles business secrets on the one hand and public safety on the other hand but such a key decision as you were quite rightly saying on approval of a pesticide which is so widely used and of which they're responsible you and body is saying it's likely to cause cancer in such a situation and the studies have to be published because signs is about replication and only if the studies published which have been put forward by the chemical company that independent scientists can check wheth

political support he has in the last fifty or even twenty years is a clean green party cancer camp that stands behind him was composed of a group of fractions within the business each year from political parties that were bucking and since he was elected in one thousand nine hundred nine but also for powerful trade unions the relationship but in the last days with a lot of tensions with some of the parties that are battling to turn to the water then several members of the central committee also from members of parliament. public t.v. set that they were leaving the party and the parliament as well. within the city other trade unions federation we're seeing the same the leadership is still the hike which is peter buck a lot of local branches and unions says it's too easy to publicly credit caring now for days that they're not ducking. the president anymore and they're joining the protests i mean look put of legal he's eighty two years old he's been president for nearly twenty years as you mentioned his supporters when dealing will these protests convince him to finally step down. there's

the green parties who want to strengthen european institutions who want to transfer sovereignty to them but if we look for example at poland or a hungry also almost three or italy we have seen that parties that tried to keep sovereignty in the nation states have all been much stronger twelve percent of the well let me just out let me just out of place that sorry for interrupting but. its successor to head the christian democrats on a great car and barr is calling to tighten immigration control she's a very powerful person essentially the chancellor in waiting is this a bid to recover popular support well that's the big question. ok we've got a little bit of a freeze there just as we were getting to what i suppose was going to be an interesting answer on there they party of the german chancellor where it goes in these upcoming european elections coming up in may we're speaking to geo political analyst and consultant dr reiner rothfuss that is our lot for this news hour if you would like to delve deeper into any of those stories or website has you covered for news and views go to war more

but that is not the way we are all equals in europe and then here is the co-leader of germany's green party and alaina their book one of the you will move the german government must finally wake up from its hibernation and european politics at the moment it's busy trying to shoot down european project such as introducing it digital tax or whistleblower protection law is there was a blow our shores. so. how hard the so do you think this is going to be for the french president it will be special the issue of migration on the issue of immigration we've seen in the past that there was no. no move by many member states on finding a common line on how to deal with not only border protection but also assume securest and this would probably be one of the issues where we still need a lot more talks before we can see a common solution however such a move of proposing ant and demanding it again is necessary and that is of course some countries which will oppose it but there's also support for example by germany in such initiatives and defense comes up again this is been much talked about over the last

of a climate emergency parliament should declare has come from caroline lucas the leader of the green party and i absolutely back her one hundred percent i think it's a fantastic idea the idea behind it would be to create the legislative context necessary for us to push through the things we need for a green new deal we have to we have to cut the ucas emissions to zero by twenty forty five that's an extremely dramatic trajectory we need all hands on deck for this i mean this is not fiddling around the edges of our system. trying to invent a different kind of economy that's not energy and the missions intensive even the in this book the divide you make it clear that inequality is particularly important and you're saying that there hasn't been the kind of progress that some bragging about say bill gates founder of microsoft. do you think that philanthropy is still being talked about as a idea to get rid of inequality i think the idea of using philanthropy and charity as a way of addressing poverty inequality is is deeply problematic actually because. you know what it fails to address is the s

going round in circles here, theresa may previously had talks, she met with caroline lucas and the green partys not moved over to my policy of a second referendum yet but there is always a sense that everyone is happy to talk about compromise, as long as they are not the party that has to compromise. i think that is why when it comes to his's message tonight, there is a big backlash when it comes to her not taking any response ability for that herself, she does have to take some, but i think this isa have to take some, but i think this is a failure parliament as a whole, the fact we have not managed get anywhere over the whole course of time and we're getting so close to supposedly supposed to be leaving next friday and no consensus. and i suppose, going to the metro, this is why this guy paul concludes that 90% of the public feel that the talks shame britain, shame the country. —— this poll. rather than just shame britain, shame the country. —— this poll. rather thanjust shame the prime minister of the opposition leader, george, it is a kind of national shame. yes, i think that is the one poi

theory as something that that is more a procedural thing that was not ruled on found it is the green party there the european parliament has launched this push to find out more details what do they find i expect to find out about privacy. where the greens at all they give me peace the filed the suit in luxembourg saying we want full transparency we will rebuild we will have access to the original data and now independence time period can check if these studies are actually correct and the greens do not claim that the agency lied or that there is some hidden things there about life is aids but but these the discussion about drug life is it which is hard to put it together and highly emotional will surely continue to this ruling in those if you take into account that not only in the u. but also in the united states. as action suits running against life a safe ride no long right band record in brussels for a spare and good to talk to you just sports now and manchester united are through to the quarterfinals of the champions league after a dramatic finish against paris on her mom united took a

to green party of what you know pact to was going on board given of months i think of quite a lump europe banus will be easier china and russia who has some power of us you may be next. for lead her yeah so i see it's very easy. good opportunities out and to be channeled to russia where play even more you can point to a rule. how an indian fighter pilot who was captured by pakistan after his jet was shot down has been handed over to his home country a few minutes ago the pilot officially crossed the border to be returned to india he would like to start a prime minister described the move as a peace gesture as the tension between the two nuclear countries has escalated in recent weeks reporting from like a star in his local journalist. without partners decided to end it all india records has that largely let me put it up and earth where the world nor their partner started believe in shorting the regular enemy gathered by the other militant god you know. underdog are both going to call the rest of the better off their balls the result was a lot more body else you don't call this a little bi

ther energy sources that are not necessarily supported by the far left wing green new deal activism wings of the democratic partyney is going to be better spent trying to push for more likely solutions to climate change than the green new deal can offer. lauren: got it. emily larson, thank you very much. >> thank you. ashley: all right. here are some other headlines making news this morning for you. no punishment for congresswoman ilhan omar, facing backlash over latest comments some say are anti-semetic. right now she sits on the foreign affairs committee. many are calling for her to be stripped of her seat. the chair said he's not close to doing that. congresswoman alexandria ocasio-cortez backtracking on her position on amazon's second headquarters in new york city. now she's not ruling out the possibility of hq2. could be too late. she says local communities must be consulted. her green new deal calls for replacing planes with high speed trains but she just hopped on a flight to washington from new york. she defends her decision in a fox news exclusive. >> can you tell me why you are flying today? >> oh, yea

the labor party, the green party, the governing coalition, all indicated they see a need for tighterontrols on guns and more restrictions on gun ownership and more to what kinds of weapons will be available. >> we will be following this and how new zealand copes with the aftermath of these terror attacks. i thank you for taking the time to speak to cnn. the leader of the government of this country, the prime minister, has been governing in a time of crisis for this country. my colleague has taken a look at the prime minister and the role she is playing in society, again, after what she described as one of the darkest days. >> reporter: jacinda ardern, the youngest prime minister in 150 years. she is a symbol of progressive politics. pushing the envelope time and again. 37 at the time, she became the second leader of the world to give birth while in office. ardern now faces her toughest challenge, the worst massacre in the island nation's modern history. 50 people kills and 50 wounded at a terrorist attack. >> it is clear that this is one of new zealand's darkest days. >> reporter: on

but performing less well than the green party, so it is a real mixed bag. the fact the u.s. and the u.k. numbers a fairly small of voters, 35% in both cases, were able to see their candidates win, where as in europe, the parliamentary system means that little parties can of as the skate valve anti-establishment sentiment. vonnie: we are getting a takei spokesman telling us there are still changes to the brexit backstop -- we are getting a u.k. spokesman telling us there are still changes to the brexit backstop. the u.k. spokesman coming out and talking about the brexit process. what left -- what work is left to be done on the brexit backstop? it sounds like it they don't come up with something in the next few days, it sounds like armageddon, and i hope that isn't literally. tina: the irish are concerned about the backstop. i have had conversations about irish -- conversations with irish statesman who say how significant this issue is for economic stability in ireland. i don't see but you getting -- i don't see the e.u. getting in very much -- giving in very much. the brexite

he was on the vice presidential ticket with the green party. governors kasich of ohio and very possibly governor hogan of maryland are considering getting into the race as well. governor hogan was able to win re-election as a republican in a very solid blue state, yes. so he's somebody that sermon would have legs if he was able to emerge as a national candidate. >> adrienne, this is the year of the woman. we started yesterday the women's history month. many are saying that if a man wins the democratic nominee, they need to put a woman or person of color on the ticket. do you agree with that? >> oh, absolutely. without a question. look, there are so many extraordinary candidates right now who are already running in the democratic primary. we know more are going to jump in. but given that it's the year of the woman, our party, the democratic party, is one that is very diverse, very supportive of women. and i think you got to have a woman on the ticket in some way, shape, or form. >> how important will the involvement of former president obama or

san francisco clean energy advocates, green party and california strategy choice. i started working on the climate crisis policy way back in the mid-eighties when i first learned about it. i read a book by jeremy rifkin, and i have been working on this a long time, and it is obvious that we need to declare an emergency, that is a no-brainer. it is something that every city on earth needs to do, and so it's good that this resolution is coming forward from the supervisors and from you all, but i do want to talk about implementation because that's crucial. if we declare an emergency and don't implement our response properly, we could get into trouble, and a good example is james hansen himself, the man who warned us all in the mid- eighties about the climate crisis, about global warning. he is so caught up with the fact that this is an emergency that he promotes nuclear power, so how we choose to respond to the emergency is just as important as declaring it, and so first i want to agree with the folks who spoke for the trees, and say we have to do that, that is crucia
