that's why the folks which are making us happy not just greens. that they are folks for climate protection they are votes for democracy they are votes against populism they are votes for human rights in all of europe dear friend signed on for i know. arthur liberations there with the greens we have our chief political correspondent linda crane with us in our studio well and if we took a headline away from this vote it would be you know the green wave 20.6 percent according to the results we have so far the 2nd biggest party and there's another figure i want to look at with you that i think we can bring in here as well that is pretty indicative of how well the greens have been doing they take a look here if we have this that at the youth vote so the pick people here are voting in germany under the age of 30 they show that 35 percent of all german phone voters under $24.00 sorry have voted green and as you can see the older the voters get the less likely they are to vote for the greens so melinda these are pretty astonishing figures and also to succ

green new deal. green new deal. green new deal! green new deal! green new deal! all right, everybody. welcome. it is so incredible to see you all out tonight. thank you for being here. my name self varshini prakash i'm one of the cofounders and the executive director of sunrise movement. and we are here for a superspecial last tour stop at the road to the green new deal. thank you for making it here tonight. we launched this incredible tour like a month ago in boston to a soldout audience. and on that exact same day we launched in boston an 18-year-old held a green new deal townhall in santa fe, new mexico. and she got the fourth most powerful democrat in congress ben luman to endorse the resolution at that townhall. and she got the mayor of santa fe, new mexico to agree to ledge to pass a citywide green new deal plan. an 18-year-old, amazing. new york city passed a citywide green new deal as well. and that was just the first day. from there we went to detroit, michigan and teamed up with local leaders for doing incredible work. detroit for a green new deal is re

let's talk about the green surge, the greenway from the green surge, the greenway from the green partiestion in a larger way is yellow that's really hard to say, and i think we need to look at the next couple of days to find out the next couple of days to find out the roadmap for the coalition agreement the big pro— european blocks will coalesce around. we've heard representatives of the green party saying one of the big areas they will want to influence things on is trade deals the eu does in future and they will insist there is a big—screen environmental climate component in every deals the eu does in future component in every deals the eu does infuture —— component in every deals the eu does in future —— big green. their knocking at an open door because lots of other parties saw the rise of the green agenda and green environmental issues and climate issues were playing a big part in these elections, and your hearing other big parties saying that they will address that. —— you are hearing. we can put the rise of the green party is on the shoulder of the young swedish climate activist —

andy greene. 0h, the three colours of the flag. andy greene. quite well, too. —— the greens. i look at it, it's funny how you look at it with a different eye. 0h, how you look at it with a different eye. oh, this affects me now! and presumably as a belgian citizen, quite worrying, because there is no sense of direction, the coalition government was ‘s always been a challenge, hasn't it? but i assume it's going to get harder, isn't it? i'm living in a country as a national or a country where it is compulsory to vote and that has genuinely made me look, i have to vote, the police are going to come knock on your door if you don't. when you look at the complexities of eldon politics you do say well, it a lwa ys eldon politics you do say well, it always seems fractured, anyway, —— belgian, there are so many parties. so for this newspaper saying we are deeply split, well, it must be bad if you are making a big issue of it. yep, they are with any case. and we have just a minute or so left, a reflection coming from some of the press here. what is your

the rising surge of support for the greens and this has not been translated into results. and we know. with this result we have a clear taishan we're now in the center of the political landscape. and for the party this is financially structurally. an immense task for us to solve my part we want to preserve this position and accept this task so we will concentrate. right on this task. with the knowledge that we have to work card. and. that's being kind of so there are many people here so we'll just have one question the time. and i would ask you to say you are briefly. a certain political office of the dumb i'm from the telegraph newspaper from amsterdam and. i wanted to ask. you about increased all prove to result in the elections. but it often comes to include out the banks or look you guys off they gave fighting in months or another person moments interception from the stimulus money wasn't going to be the capital commission would use the hard thinking well as you heard. we're concentrating on the substance of our sin for most him germany. when here are you still correla

we are the greens and we want green policy in place. for everyone. and we wa nt social protection for everyone. and we want to make sure that the rule of law and liberty is protected everywhere in the eu as well as in hungary. we will vote for green policies. some people are sceptical of the european parliament's ability to influence the other institution such as the council and the commission. from your position within the parliament can you do that? the parliament is the normal co— legislator so together with the councils of the member states together we do the legislation. no—one can decide anything without the european parliament so we have a strong voice in parliament and we also have a strong voice for climate protection and biodiversity protection and biodiversity protection and biodiversity protection and we will use that voice. in france, marine le pen's far—right national rally finished ahead of president macron's en marche party. le pen lost out to macron in a bitter presidential contest in 2017. now she's calling for the hea

when we talk about a green new deal? when we talk about a green new deal, we are talking about jobs and justice. we are talking about the greatest blue-collar job creation program in a generation. we are talking about repairing the historic oppression of front line. and vulnerable communities. we are talking about justice for the black and latino families that breathe different error than white americans have been breathing. [ cheers and applause ] the green new deal is about creating historic 10 year mobilization that will mitigate climate emissions and build climate resiliency. we need massive renewable energy deployment. wind, solar, offshore wind, storage batteries. our energy future will not be found in the dark of a mind but in the light of the sun. we know the answer. we can create high quality jobs and guarantee rights to retirement security and healthcare. and conduct inclusive decision- making. we can engage and job creation that is good for all of creation. that is what the green new deal is all about.

fast the greens or the minor part of the greens of the party ruling germany. the substance of course we know that we are. raising hopes that have to be fulfilled but. also coming up on the day chaos in austria chancellor sebastian cortes is ousted from power in a no confidence vote even his former allies turned against him so where is the country headed now. only a few days ago the goal was to remove me as chancellor and that's maybe understandable as a tactic that. obligates don't know that the wish to topple the entire government a few months before an election that something nobody in this country can comprehend now for true. we start the day with a fragmented europe 28 countries across the european union went to the polls on sunday in a referendum on europe and in the end pro european and nationalist parties did well traditional center parties however saw their hold on power slip again a shifting political landscape emerging in places like germany and italy and france and brussels is not yet clear who the big winner is this is what the spokesperson for the

members especially the green. the german greens in the european parliament ever seen that they're really taking the role in the european parliament seriously and they consider this current vote in the european election a climate so what they want to do and what they're saying they want to do is they want to make an vironment policy at the front and center of their politics in the european parliament and also here in germany ok here in germany making climate the big issue as well how is the green success going to be playing out broadly here in germany for them. i mean we've seen them gaining more traction on the national level in the last 2 years since the national election 2017 where we seen last autumn in the state election a very a one of the biggest states here in germany is that the greens became the 2nd biggest force in the varian parliament that was a result unheard of before because the very was traditionally a very conservative parliament which had results for the varying conservatives over 60 percent and

i guess that's why the votes which are making us happy not just green. day of the climate protection act they are votes for democracy they are votes against populism they are votes to human rights in all of europe to a friend signed on for and there. are at let's talk about these results with our chief political editor michelle and kids now with us here in our studio. based on very happy there with the greens and for good reason this is a pretty remarkable result we're talking about just over twenty percent of the greens now if these results do are confirmed they would be the second biggest party in the country after this vote and there's also another really interesting figure that i think we have here that we can take a look at as well there are youth voters here and you can really see how greens how they have now to you know really picked up the youth vote they showed that thirty five percent of all german voters under twenty four have voted green and as you can see michel of the older the voters get the less likely they are to vote for the green party

woman: green tea. [ chuckles ] lemonis: green tea. woman 4: they all say "green tea.": the green tea -- the tea flavor. woman 6: i'm not a green tea lover, okay? so if i saw "mr. green tea," i might not say, "oh, i'm gonna buy that." me. lemonis: i think we have some work to do. most people would expect me to push you to change the name. that doesn't bother me. there's a legacy there. what bothers me is the presentation of it and having "mr. green tea" be the dominant brand. one of the best things that happened at shoprite is seeing the positive feedback about the quality of the ice cream. but we need to put a process in place that forces us to do research and development on new flavors. and we need to go back to the drawing board on the packaging so that customers aren't thrown off and think there's green tea in every flavor. so, what i want to do is sort of take the actual packaging, and i want to basically move around some stuff. people don't want to think that there's green tea in the ice cream. -that's the feedback we got. -michael: yep. lemonis: pull that mr. gre

ok that was robert there speaking live at the leader of the greens at the green special press conference they're holding right now after their downing success doubling their vote in the european elections this is the live coverage ongoing coverage of the d. european elections let's go straight to our correspondent actually on a conference standing by at that press conference for us we heard another top greenspun gold saying that everything except delivering on climate change is real to him what do the greens concretely want to do right now after their election success the 2nd largest party now from germany in the european parliament. what do they want to do concretely to rollback climate change. well the greens have been already on the national level here in germany been very vocal of like how germany needs to prove improve its climate change policies and needs to improve its ira environmentalists policies they've been asking for a an exit off the coal industry east germany has long said that it wanted to it's change or exit its nuclear energy strategy a while ago that was partly under t

the reinforced green party's.e have seen incredible results where the green party took the third spot in france. how do you see that playing out and can green party's really change policy? their faction remains small somete the successes and center and n northern n european cotrtries. the french result is anothther surprise becausese one iss expecting otheher partieies to e third but not the greens. in germany they h have a strong poposition. they havave a leader. now even more than before they are the onones who will determie popolitics. what they should do is remain nn oppositionon and n not make themselveses to be the kingmaker fofor some kindd of centristst coalition with socialists and popular r parties.s. winning on an ticket of renewalal. on a ticket of changing europe from within without going to extremes, without going to the popopulists brains of the scenario. this is the position they should concert and they should not see themselves as the ones who now long for participation in a can of european govern

where did the green vote come from? where did the green vote come from? i from?t from? where did the green vote come from? i suspect it came from labour and that's the point we need to look at and be clear when we are looking again at the results of this and working out what we should do. again at the results of this and working out what we should dom could well be an analysis that you are being punished as a party for sitting on the fence on brexit and trying to say one thing and the remain vote is another thing and it's time to have a clearer position. i'm surprised by the conclusion you are reaching on that and the conclusion to me from the results is that people want to see the referendum result honoured and they want to see us leave the european union, which of course... but where do all the liberal and changeuk and green voters come from? they have targeted people who voted remain and it's a very specific sector interest, but some of your vote rs sector interest, but some of your voters voted to leave. i cannot comment on where all of the voters are going b

liberals and greens gained significant ground in whags already being described as a, quote, green wave. doubling the seats 20% the populus party didn't do as much spain, germany, the netherlands saw that the exceptions were of course here in the u.k., france and italy. >> reporter: the nationalists came out on top. now if we break down that result in france, marin lapan's naturalist party and lega was victorious in italy with around 30% of the vote while its coalition partner the five-star movement lost significant ground on the face of the numbers, that sounds like a significant shift away from the centrist parties raises the prospect of a more difficult parliament over the next five years and a certain amount in the political extremes but i think there will be many in the center and those who are very much at the heart of the e.u. project who will be saturday with the results given the fact that 2/3 of the parliament will still be represented by meps who who can tell us more about the reaction about the heart of this this morning. sylvia >> yes these european election results are a v

the green party. and over

bloc take $45.00 seats so far the center left social democrats get 146 seats 70 seats go to the greens while the liberal a l d e group would receive 97 seats the center right european people's party the biggest group takes 163 seats followed by the conservatives the . 57 seats then we come to the populist groups t e d d at 45 seats and the new proposed far right european alliance of peoples and nations at 72 seats. in those e.u. poland entry elections traditional centers parties in germany france and elsewhere have seen their support erode while the environmentalist greens have been take surging taking 2nd place in germany meanwhile right wing populist parties are projected to have won their nationalist contest in france italy poland and hungary . these boxes hold the voice of europe. the future of more than 500000000 people marked on pieces of paper. once counting had begun it soon became clear the voters had spoken out against the solid center of european politics. the shootings the northeast the best news today is that european democracy is alive democracy lives martin and today we

and diesel democrats like getting 147 seats in the greens 66 the liberal. group would get 79 seats on these projections in the center right european peoples party the biggest group like taking 174 seats and we have the euro skeptic conservatives there with 62 seats and then we have the populists the e.f.t. they get 56 and the and if 59 seats the remaining 61 seats award on these projections go to smaller parties. let's go through those figures with our brussels our bureau chief maxell hoffman whelk a match those these are the 1st figures.

we are the greens and we want to put green policies into place.place. we want to vote for policies on climate protection. we want to make sure we create a social unit with social protection for everyone, social rights for everyone. also, we want to make sure that the rule of law and liberty is protected everywhere in the european union, also for example in hungary. we are going to vote for those policies. the greens find themselves in quite a strong position, don't they? they do. yesterday when asked would they be kingmakers, the answer was they would be queen makers because they have a woman in charge. not that many people suspected them to be as high as they were yesterday. for me, the green wave is one of the most important highlights from yesterday's not only did they score very well and unexpectedly so, also the other party leaders had a very green discourse. almost catering, someone green discourse. almost catering, someone said, the greens have one tonight, the centre—right one —— lost so many seats. this is not perhaps just about seats in

greens and it will be interesting to see how that works outlj greens and it will be interesting to see how that works out. i do think the focus on climate change over the la st the focus on climate change over the last fortnight has given a boost to the greens. it has boosted overall vote share, but the places where we go across the line through first past the post, which is incredibly hard, that is only done through local work. we can't take any votes for granted, the way so many labour and conservative mps do. but you can promise the earth, because you know you will never have to make the difficult decisions. we would love to be able to do those, because we have confidence in our policies. when we sit in councils, even when there are just two or three of us, we can make a difference to the way councils do things. we put forward ideas that nobody else is. we can bring a fresh —— breath of fresh air. can i have a look at hinckley and bosworth? this is interesting, because this is where the lib dems may well be on course for taking over. the change will tell us the story. hinckley and b

where the greens vote rose from 4.6 to 12 a half percent overall green parties are projected to take 69 seats in the european parliament making the potential kingmakers when it comes to choosing the next president of the european commission's moniker for sony as the co-chair of the european green party she says the party's ability to unite is one of its biggest strengths. even if we are not a huge political force we are really able to be united in a few missions and we win because we are able to gather majorities so i think that this kind of unity will be our greatest patrimony and we're also over the next the in the negotiations which are i trust are not going to be very very easy but in which we have certain priorities that hopefully will be respected also because we are not alone in this hour the so-called green wave has been very much pushed by young people in the streets but also the vote of young people so i believe that the other parties will be contaminated by this kind of backward also because we have very little time to to reverse of the trend and be able to fight climate c

let's recap the huge story of a saving protections in germany a new election just huge gains for the green party which looks like having taken a 21.7 percent of the vote thank every 2nd of the i'm going to conservatives those conservatives see the u.c.s.c. they have lost votes but have not reached at nearly 30 percent these early results are bad news for are going to coalition part of the social democrats very crushed so it's basically just 15.4 percent of the folks it's only 5 percentage points ahead of the far right alternative for germany and she's coming in at 10.4 percent . so this is special coverage of the 2819 year euro european elections were with you throughout the evening with the polling coverage of the results across the $28.00 member states with more than $400000000.00 eligible voters ok so we've had a look at those are projected results let's. go through them now with our chief political correspondent belinda quite welcome melissa so. a big message that seems to be clarity and change where we're getting the big results from. the greens a very bad results for the main politic

substantial gains for the greens. 87 so substantial gains for the greens. 87 so far. the independents, around 300 gains. you can see where lots of people have been turning overnight, especially those disgruntled with the tories and with labour. we will talk about that with the panel and with vicki in a moment. before that, let's catch up with the day's news. hello. a summary of the bbc news. the conservatives and labour have faced a backlash at the local elections, with voters apparently punishing them for the brexit deadlock. both parties have suffered significant losses while the main winners have been smaller parties like the liberal democrats and the greens, as well as independents. the prime minister said voters were showing that they wanted politicians to get on and deliver brexit micro. with more on the results and the implications, here is chris mason. just look at those faces. the conservatives held at swindon and gained north east lincolnshire. but they lost control in st albans, southend, broxtowe, peterborough, worcester, basildon and elsewhere. these were

managed to come on on top you have an urban rural fragmentation the greens were strongest in the big cities and you have an east west fragmentation the if he didn't do particularly well 1 in the west but it did extremely well in many states in the east it came in strongest in sex and he with 25 percent and in another state in brandenburg it became strongest party and was 2nd strongest in all the other states and these 3 of these states will have local elections so it's deeply entrenched and successful in these so it's a very mixed picture you see in germany and that's the also the picture in europe because there is no green surge across the continent in italy the green party has 2 percent and it's a significant european country in portugal spain in some of the nordic countries in the netherlands the social democrats actually doing fairly well so it's a very mixed and fragmented picture of course people like me want it to be a little less fragmented he started a new coalition to replace the n.f. group in the parliament marine le pen is part of 8 what are the chances the think of being

people are seeing what it's like to have green representation, they see what green councillors can achieveand they really like it and they want more of it and they are voting for it. the greens did best here in birkenhead and tranmere. the idea of them having two out of three councillors in this area would have been unthinkable until recently. but if there's been a brexit clash, labour has also been punished locally for its part in a planning row, proposing to build on green belt land. voters we spoke to said they hadn't been turned off politics altogether. but locally it's got to be the greens for round here. definitely. i wouldn't say they've got this issue nationally, there's issues with all the parties. there's been splits within labour's left and central factions been splits within labour's left and centralfactions in this been splits within labour's left and central factions in this area and that may have been a factor too. now both the local party and the whole council chamber are deeply divided. judith moritz, bbc news, birkenhead. counting is under way in northern ireland's counci

specifically with regard to their climate platforms and the green new deal. i would say i think you should be looking for three things. the first is intersectionality. if you are talking about climate and climate alone, you are doing it wrong. if your plan can be executed by are it wrong,you right? department of energy. i think the second is it needs to demonstrate a willingness to put the full might of our country behind this fight. it has to be about an economy-wide, national mobilization that is the-funded, that is led at local level, but supported deeply at the federal level, and then i think the third thing you need to be looking at is scale, right? this is a problem. the next decade is crucial, right? it is crucial for us being able andave a healthy climate, 2050, whatever timeline people choose, more time is not an excuse to maintain the status quo as long as possible. [cheers and applause] and so if you are seeing policies that say we are going to go net zero by this date and there's nothing in the middle, that's a problem. [laughter] [applause] need
