and let's bring in our correspondent who is in strasburg he's been following this vote for us max tell us more about that it's possibly. dave it's a soul used to be a journalist italian journalist but he's been a member of the european parliament for 10 years more importantly he's a member of the social democratic group here in the parliament and as part of the package that was decided in brussels yesterday the social democrats are supposed to get the presidency of the european parliament for the 1st 2 and a half years of this term after that apparently it's going to be months they've been used to be the lead candidate of the conservative party all very complicated just to tell you this this is important because the social democrats are still protesting against fund on who's supposed to be the president of the european commission but now they have actively entered into the game that heads of state in government started in brussels yesterday because they took their or at least one part of the cake that was assigned to them so that might make it easier to convince them later on to actual

what's that observed in brussels and strasburg for some time how much difference does the personality of the president make it so it was so we have a joke for younger at the moment before him i think it was. mr barroso what. what do they need to bring to the job that they bring different things to the job. that is true but before we get into those details i would like to remind our viewers that we believe that the european parliament has elected from the law and as commission president with what we are hearing are 383 votes this is not official yet this is what we're hearing from trustworthy sources could it could change but if this is true it is a very small margin only 9 votes above what she would need she would need 370 votes so if this is confirmed within the next minutes the european parliament has convened again for the official results then we would have quite a different kind of commission president than earlier junko juncker was very well known for his how would i put it you know he was a very experienced european politician he'd been in that business for 20 years head of the

and let's go right to strasburg our correspondent max huffman is standing by there for us hi max so we heard that there is growing opposition to was left on the line as a candidate for this a european commission president post tell us more about what you've been hearing there today. i don't know if the opposition against it was enough underlying is growing but it's pretty strong i mean she shouldn't have a problem at least that's what many from the conservative group your say to swing around that group after all it's her party the european people's party it will be much more difficult with the social democrats who are very disappointed because many of them thought they had a very good chance of installing funds to moments their lead candidate as the e.u. 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 now next to the head of the greens in the european parliament philip on boats is with us thank you for coming why won't you vote for it was an open ended well i don't know who's saying th

is max hoffman he's standing by in strasburg for us hi max what will bring to this role and what do you think her main challenges will be. we do expect a difference in style if you look at john through the easy going type and then it was enough on the line who has a reputation of being very disciplined she always says herself when she wants to celebrate something she can she cracks open a bottle of sparkling water i think the most visible difference though will be her promise to have a gender balanced commission she even went as far to say she will reject proposals from the member states if it doesn't add up to what she wants 50 percent women 50 percent in that you commission as for all the other things and what she's going to emphasize on i had the opportunity to speak to her right after the election on tuesday evening here in strasburg let's have a listen. as with us today and i have a very simple question to start out the interview how are you feeling. relieved and happy because it was a tough ride over 13 days now i had to. formulate the guidelines the political guidelines and to co

are at the let's get more on this now with max huffman he is an strasburg where the european parliament is situated of max so good to see you so we've heard now we have this confirmation of these nominees from e.u. leaders we've heard that there's a little bit of a revolt there among european parliament lawmakers that they're not so happy about some of these choices is that true what's happening there. well remember especially the well the proposal in this case for commission president was enough on the line has to be approved by the european parliament and the european parliament insisted that they would only approve someone who previously was a lead candidate during the campaign the german word for it that everybody uses now is bits and county da so this is not a spits and cut it out was a left on the line so things get complicated things get complicated in her own party the european people's party the conservative party in this case even though she is from the same party the e.p. p. had insisted no one else but the lead candidate their lead candidate was monthly who by the way has an

silvia is in strasburg 374 is the magic number that ms.on der leyen needs here in theory she should get them if everyone votes in line with their alliance if you add up the numbers from the socialist party, the liberals, the epp you should get beyond that 374. why are people still debating it >> exactly but the vote is secret so it's not certain that all the lawmakers will follow their parties lines and support ursula von der leyen. we've heard different criticisms ahead of today from the socialist group, from the liberal party as well saying her comments on climate change are not strong enough. they want to see a stronger stance from the european commission when it comes to the rule of law as well. so let's see if she will manage to get that magic number as you mentioned. she has made a series of commitments this morning she has been addressing lawmakers for about an hour. she is answering questions at the moment then the lawmakers will be voting this evening on whether she should become the next president of the european commission so in

lawrence lee is that the european parliament in strasburg. given how benign and bureaucratic and slow things tend to be here in strasburg of the european parliament there is what you can only describe as a free soul of excitement on the opening day of this new parliamentary session brought on by the inability of the european council to choose the new commission presidents because what usually happens is that person gets picked and then the european parliament's effectively says ok that's that's your man and then goes on more or less to rubber stamp decisions that the european commission take even if under a little bit of scrutiny well clearly now it's the other way around and the inability of the council to choose a commission president has led to this flurry of activity here at the european parliament as to who's going to be the next european public president which they vote on wednesday because they know it's on to think well if we get our president in 1st then we can start telling the commission what to do instead which is a complete about

so-called spits in county da that's the german word that everybody uses now in the brussels and strasburg bubble it means the lead candidate for a certain party that is presented in the european parliament and there really were only 2 of those one was funds to months the social democrat that was deemed to be the front runner over the last days and the 2nd one was monthly vevo was the official candidate of the conservatives the strongest party the european people's party in the parliament and also the party of i get a makeover the german chancellor and here's the clue also the party of fund and i and which is now the official proposal of the leaders for the commission presidencies self how will the european parliament now deal with a candidate that has not been a lead candidate you might get the conservatives on your side because it was a tough on that is a conservative but the social democrats will have a much harder time and so far what we're hearing from the social democrats is that pulls it off on the line is not acceptable all right so what happens if ursula fund a lion is rejected by

more from strasburg. >> here comes trouble and its name is the brexit party. it is now the biggest single party in the european parliament. as such, it is the best representation of how this in addition is in flux. as one example, it has already threatened to halt vote down the it hasdget and it -- already threatened to vote down the e.u. budget. >> very undemocratic. if you are leaving and everybody else wants to stay, it makes no sense. >> they started as they mean to go on turning their backs in the chamber during the inauguration ceremony, as the european anthem was played. there are new faultlines everywhere. outside, demonstrations and protests against spain for blocking their leader from taking his seat inside. across the floor of the chamber, new right-wing populists, viewed with fear and suspicion by the establishment center-right, while over on the left, surging greens and liberals. many wearing yellow "stop brexit" t-shirts. this is not politics as usual. >> we are out there doing our social media, and it is getting a lot more attention than it did

special coverage of an address by germany's ursula fonda line before the european parliament in strasburg it is her last chance to make her case to e.u. lawmakers in her bid to become the 1st woman president of the european commission she needs to secure a majority in a confirmation vote being held later today we saw founder lyon highlight the principles that have guided her career namely is strong europe. in conviction she also highlighted the challenges that she will address as president of the european commission digitalisation climate change and defending based order. and we have a full analysis here in our studio now of the speech that has just taken place our brussels bureau chief max hoffman is standing by in strasburg and we also have melinda crane our chief political correspondent joining us here in the studio and max i'd like to begin with you because you watched the speech happening live there and you know arcilla funded she really had a lot of people to convince in the room do you think that she did so effectively. well at least she touched upon all the main points that she ha

straight to the straight to strasburg that might be found d.w.b. correspondent hoffman welcome where is the opposition to the line coming from. the opposition is coming from all sides for example from the social democrats who are disappointed that they couldn't have their lead candidate who campaigned for them funds in the lead for that position also from the greens but the doors opened at least with the greens who said it depends on what kind of program will fund and will propose but oddly enough maybe not so odd if you think about it there is also opposition in her own party the european people's party so the conservatives the reason for this is that they also had a different beat candidate monthly so that's the man who went on the campaign trail for the party beginning in last september and so he was hoping and his party was also hoping that he would be the one probe posed by the leaders for the commission presidency as we all know that went downhill and completely changed so the question really is despite this opposition also in your own party

let's go straight to strasburg now we're joined from there by max hoffman max thanks so much for that report of fun the lion has written a letter we understand courting the social democrats in the european parliament what's your message to them looking at your report is going to be a very close vote. there you saw a mention that many social democrats thought what she offered last week when she met that political group in brussels was too vague so she's written an 8 page letter now which has a lot more details than before of course she can only go that far because if she gives too much to the social democrats she might lose the support of the more right wing groups like the e.c.r. that we just saw that might put her over the hump right there but one passage is very important for fun because social democrats were especially disappointed with what she had to say about enforcing the rule of law in countries like poland or hungary and now she reaffirms this is a very important point and she is willing to use and i quote here the full tool box what's at the disposal of the european commissi

i and will probably have to give the speech of her life right here in the european parliament in strasburg. and let's get more now on what promises to be a fierce battle for the e.u. stop job i'm joined here in the studio by good obvious chief political correspondent melinda crane and we have standing by also our brussels bureau chief max hole from and at the european parliament in strasbourg you also saw him in that piece there max i'd like to begin with you because i mean we heard that funder line is facing this up hill struggle what does she need to do now to get the votes she needs she might have done already quite an important part on monday when she wrote an 8 page letter to the social democrats here in the european parliament and you just saw in the report the social democrats are key here because the opposition was so strong especially from the from the german part of the social democrats the german delegation and in that 8 page letter she gave them quite a lot for example she said she's committed to through the social pillar of your what is called the rule of law as she said that

so max was left on the line will be visiting the european parliament there in strasburg this afternoon do you think she's going to be able to convince parliamentarians there that she is the right person for this job. what she's doing this afternoon here in strasburg is the easy part because she's as we understand only visiting her own party the european people's party so the conservatives where are going to back who is also a member of still it's not going to be a walk in the park we've talked to some members of that party who are disappointed that their lead candidates are the candidate who did all the campaigning during the european elections months they'd veba isn't up for nomination for the presidency of the european council so there must be some explaining to do but it will be much easier than let's say with the social democrats because after all it is her own party all right our max huffman reporting there in strasberg max thank you very much. now to some other stories making news around the world demonstrators burned tires and blocked roads across israel to protest after an off
