as an insult to the people of sheffield in me my dad was elected as member of parliament for the green party but on his very 1st the other european parliament in strasbourg he says he was asked to leave because of the way he looked his response i know i'm different i'm black and my name is my git i don't intend to try to fit in get used to it. and magic magic joins us now from our studio in brussels majid welcome to the show now tell us how are you dealing with the challenges of being a black muslim immigrants from somalia and a member of the european parliament. you know just still of if i and i'm just being me just doing me and you know as if this is nothing new it's not very exclusive syrup in parliament a lot the same challenges i've been dealing with when i was lord mayor of sheffield or before that so yeah i'm familiar with it but to be honest with them i'm just going with them and yeah it's fine to be honest of course is a bit tricky at times but it's cool when you see you're dealing with it by just being yourself how do you mean. by lynch because i think one of the hardest things esp

brent: the deputy director of the green party in germany.e appreciate your taking the time to talk with us tonight. thank you. european union leaders are still deadlocked over another issue -- who should get the top job? state suspended talks until tomorrow. france and germany had agreed to support the same candidate for the key position of european commission president. the social democrat. but there has been stiff opposition to that. all of the top jobs are changing hands following europe's parliamentary elections which were held last may. >> a good nicely. that is what a journalist and leaders are desperate for after talks brought no consensus. angela merkel said technically a candidate could have been chosen by out voting a group of countries but that she said would be unwise. >> we should really make an effort to find a compromise before a vote like this. to avoid tensions that could cause problems for many years. we' facingr brexit and many other challenges. we should be careful in the way we treat one another. reporter: a franco-germa

we appreciate you coming in and the fact that we're talking tonight you've been with the green party speaks to the fact that this story has become so politicized why it has become so politicized do you think i think you have what we can see is that there are people that are saving lives from from people that were drawn otherwise and now they are like. putting to today and maybe for this and tried as criminals and of course this is about. european values that they're defending at the sea and we can see that there is so many questions connected with that that's the in teria politics of as germany but also and the european union and that yeah that are complicated part of negotiations and you know there are critics who say that see what activists are playing into the hands of. people like the italian interior minister. he was spoken he has said this is like an act of war and he what's your opinion on this i would rather say that he is instruments thing that people from the see what screw for his populism and he's definitely not truly thinking about what his politics are causing there bec

staying at 8 percent same result for the left party getting one percentage point and the green party still in 1st place with a 26 percent. right there we have it thomas again the surge of the green party do they need to start thinking about a candidate for chancellor i think in a way they are already thinking about that they have had one key topic and obviously that is environment protection and that has been a topic that for most germans is very important in fact previous in photos the mup polls have revealed that for germans climate protection is the most important topic and when you think of a party that can at least address some of those issues many germans think of the greens but if they want to broaden that if they want to actually one day as you say have a candidate for chancellor and then actually become chancellor they have to broaden that spectrum completely they have to think about who they would like to present as congress they like they have to discuss whatever topics they might address as well so this is a big challenge for the greens as well and it's important to stres

anzac plenty from the green party. thank you for joining us. —— and, zach, from the green party. that i think she doesn‘t fit in with the narrative of what they think a princess should be. and i think a princess should be. and i think that is the problem. and there isa think that is the problem. and there is a lot of underlying racism. as prince harry said, a lot of people don‘t believe that they are being racist but to me, i would say it definitely is underlying.” racist but to me, i would say it definitely is underlying. i can see you nodding your head, dr doyin, i guess an agreement. prince harry also honed in about this idea of unconscious bias and said, so many people don‘t understand why they feel the way they do and stigma is handed down from generation to generation. if people are unaware about why they feel the way they do, how are they able to change it? you make a really good point around the power of unconscious bias or implicit bias existing outside our awareness. but the research suggests that by raising it into awareness and then doing something about it, that we c

it there's a certain irony to that because the greens were the party to reject. as the 1st party last week they met or they grilled her for over an hour and then they were very quick to release a press release saying we're not going to vote for this is just not enough and i have a feeling that some of them at least regretted that decision a little bit today because as you said the speech was very climate protection heavy and see she said in theory all the right things for the green party by the way i talked to one of their members from belgium desoto this is what she had to say. mr souter kind of sounded like it was enough and still hoping that some greens will vote for her she emphasized climate protection a lot was not something you liked yes but of course we are still worried that these are just words and no binding action will follow from that there was a lot of conditions put to that sounds as an example last week when we talked about c o 2 reductions in 2030. and the goal to reach minus 55 percent which was agreed by the parliament which is a goal that she

it there's a certain irony to that because the greens were the party to reject. as the 1st party last week they met or they grilled her for over an hour and then they were very quick to release a press release saying we're not going to vote for this is just not enough and i have the feeling that some of them at least regretted that decision a little bit today because as you said the speech was very climate protection heavy and see she said in theory all the right things for the green party by the way i talked to one of their members from belgium desoto this is what she had to say. mr souter kind of a full day of debate with her because she just delivered so the introductory speech and now the debate is ongoing and then we will have group meetings to discuss our position it is my feeling that my group will not give full support to her tonight's no but you think it sounds like you are considering giving her your vote. i didn't say that we'll still have a full days of debates you're not excluding it i'm not excluding anything it can be supported can be abstention it

and the local green party. so i'll focus more son on future agenda items, ab1054 is far worse than just blocking public power, is does some profound things that are even worse than that. i want to focus, again, on local buildout. it is reassuring to hear from mike heims that they are going to have a plan next year for some kind of renewable energy buildout, but i don't think that's going to change what i said, that it is not the s.f. p.u.c.'s role to do the kind of build-out we're talking about. the numbers we just saw are really troubling. so 70% is not 100% by 2030. and, also, it doesn't make any sense to count large hydro because that's already there. it's not newly built renewable energy. that doesn't solve any of the problem of the climate crisis. we need to build new renewable energy resources and efficiency and storage, and we need to do it locally because of line loss over long distance transmission lines, and because of the fire danger of long-range transmission lines. we need to build renewable energy

we saw in the brecon by—election where plaid cymru and the green party stood down because there was a to win the seat from the conservatives. i was involved in the discussions between change uk and the green party to build a joint candidate and the top scot to an advanced level, but at the last minute they fell through. we are already working on those types of arrangements. if you have the threat of boris johnson and nigel farage working together, we need to be prepared to do this because it is about the national interest. it is not a normal election, this is about the shape and part of our country for generations to come. there is no difference between us on the remain alliance and the way we have to approach it. what i am putting forward is a way we can work cross— party forward is a way we can work cross—party now. we can have a national government of unity and bring different sized together to stop brexit now. how would that work? you would probably have to have a vote of no—confidence. the chancellor said today he would be prepared to back that. if we can get enough labour mps, p

run not a coup lost a member of the green party serves on the committee she was also the federal agriculture minister from 2001 to 2005. you might think it's an odd the committee has been discussing the important issues that the agriculture industry faces some members press the fact that they are farmers but these people don't act like m.p.'s because they make decisions based on business interests like these on a go on. and indeed a majority of the agriculture committee members own farms and are members of the farmers association these m.p.'s have the political clout to block any efforts at reform. says that committee members should not put personal business interests ahead of the public interest she wants the e.u. to develop a new system for allocating farm subsidies. i this just as i can put some of this public money should be used to finance public services. i believe that a large part of the subsidies at least 15000000000 euros should be invested in a nature conservation fund that farmers could use that would definitely be in the public's best interest because it would help stop the dama

coalition is under acute threat the social democrats are having a very diverse a difficult time on the green party here in germany in the latest polls is coming within reach of 2 or 3 percentage points with her own c do you party so under pressure absolutely is tremendously under pressure but you got a chance to put a question yourself to chancellor merkel tell us about yours i really wanted to get her assessment of what we takes to be german chancellor for almost 15 years into having done that job and this is what she had to say. although most money. you need a realistic dose of optimism. for what you do why don't. you have to be open to reevaluate in situations. that in my view i don't have a constant curiosity for people. mentioned. so maybe some advice on it could come carbon bar the new defense minister and the heir apparent certainly on track to potentially becoming uncle americal successor there we have to see where that goes thank you very much for bringing us up to date on this press conference the summer press conference which is quite an institution there here in germany thank you. it w

commission president and then also you have the green party that has categorically said no we will not vote in favor of that package and i'm standing there next to the head of the greens in the european parliament philip numbers is with us thank you for coming why won't you vote for it was it on the night well i don't know who's saying that because we did not say categorically no we say these about package that doesn't alter the qualities we need to face the challenges of this time come on what do we have there we have on the one hand an old going basically german minister whose principal quality still be faithful to marco that's fine but do we need someone who is just was just being. a. well an aide to a german chancellor be going to chief executives. of european union and at the council we have someone we say heavily indebted to another leader in europe and that shall be shilling devoted to america and michael do we have their dippy people who have demonstrated over the past decades whole years of their political he told meant that they understand climate change that the understand t

they will need to move fast and that's also what we see when we look at the polling that's the green party that tackles climate change is doing indeed very well and edging ever closer to the cd you know a lot of questions on the foreign policy of are asked at this press conference what struck you most. yes it was very interesting that on iran which is an issue where germany took a lot of credit for getting this so-called iran nuclear deal the j.c. signed and the americans of course leaving it means that this whole thing could fall apart there she was out of whether there was an expectation of why iran should still stick to something that the americans are leaving and she said that it would be a positive sign a sign of confidence was the international community that's what can i say and not a very hands on. also throwing her weight behind the french president emmanuel mccall is efforts to get the americans in the rain ians around the table shows that germany has lost some clout there is not a big player in resolving or at least freezing what is currently a potential standoff between the uni

at two — green party peer baronessjones urges peers to hurry up in the climate change debate as she is a cardigan. so can we perhaps speed up this bit? and at one — so how do you relax? borisjohnson says he relaxes by painting model buses. yes, you heard that correct. selina seth. well, the fight to be the next tory leader and prime minister was an ever—present companion to the week in parliament. on the committee corridor, the international development secretary, rory stewart — a leadership candidate himself, of course, in the early stages — was being questioned about his department. but inevitably... you have said you would not serve in a cabinet let my borisjohnson. is that something you'd reconsider? no. then, the snp were at it during questions in the commons on thursday. but we do know isjust with the prospect of prime minister boris, support for independence rises to 53%. so we are having a particularly good tory leadership contest here. and after revelations of a domestic argument at the home of borisjohnson, labour's shadow foreign secretary couldn't resist a reference during

democratic presidential candidates for example who are not necessarily and all not members of any green party that of course exists here in the united states but has no political clout. but they do for example almost all of them promise that they will bring the united states strange back into the paris climate agreement as soon as they would potentially end to the white house -- that's one of the things that -- has democrat that demo democratic presidential hopefuls -- put clearly into that programs to try and get. into the white house otherwise welp the fact checkers have been out in force -- first of all there are some places that you can concretely mention where the united statates has not been strong of course. on the environment that has been drililng on publblic lands despe the fact that the president just a few minutes ago said that he is protecting public lands -- that's one of those fact checks that are relatively easy to do and then there is the simple fact that the president says that said the united states has the best access to clean drinking water world wide. that might b be tru

far right entered the german parliament merkel sought to form a new coalition government with the green party and pro-business free democrats after weeks of negotiations the f.d.p. withdrew. its it's better not to govern than to govern incorrectly. americans surely regretted that as did many germans and was a 1st and you have to figure that many people are growing rather weary with this lengthy term in office not to mention always with the same political partner. it's not as appealing as being able to chart a fresh course with someone else and political. after a vigorous intervention by the german president and an s.p.d. party member a vote the social democrats agree to enter into another grand coalition more than 5 months had passed since the election the longest that the federal republic of germany has ever gone without a government. the months of uncertainty extracted their price in the $28.00 team state elections the party's america's coalition saw their combined vote dropped by more than 20 percent the left and right came the most particularly the far right f.t. a trend that solidified i

eric brooks with californians for energy choice, san francisco green parties and the local grassroots organization. it would clearly be better for this city if we had public power. some folks might remember back in the day, the san francisco guardian did a study that showed we would get $200 million more per year, by not throwing money at pg&e. with that said, we've got to be mindful that we are in a climate crisis. getting a bunch of extra money every year does not necessarily solve that. los angeles, the biggest public utility is dismal on renewable energy. sacramento, one of the best leaders on renewable energy is not doing as well as a community choice programs. what that means is that we must have mandates. whatever we passed here or at the ballot, that we have 100% local renewable energy master plan baked into that thing, like the document i sent to you, that showed you sydney, australia's master plan. that is number if it doesn't have that, climate activists will not support that, especially community activists. all we need is a democratic electric -- elected board. most consum
