A migrant rescue boat docked in lampedusa after a Court Releases her from house arrest. After one failed summit and another 3 days of talks european leaders a finally agreed on who should get the top jobs germanys also the founder lyon has been proposed as the next European Commission president belgian Prime MinisterSharon Michel is nominated to be the European Council president spains for mr jones at boorowa has been chosen to be the e. U. s top diplomat a high representative for Foreign Affairs and i. M. F. Chief Christine Lagarde has been proposed for president of the European Central bank. Are now have to be endorsed by the e. U. Parliament European Council president donald tusk warned that theres a huge question mark over whether they will be but said hes hopeful they will. This is right we have parliament i mean to debate or discuss to argue. And then to decide to run. But i hope that if the political leaders are not on the Prime MinisterPrime Ministers will do everything to do to convince our colleagues in the parliament to. Support this this. Project. Is going to identity in brussels so they had to compromise to reach these their these various names how popular are they. Well there certainly well known figures thats for sure the nomination for the what some see as the jewel in the crown of the presidency of the European Commission going to have on the lie and shes very well known across the continent as germanys foreign minister she of course is from chancellor merkels own c. D. U. Party and as such she is a representative of the European Peoples Party the center right group in the European Parliament to these factions have really been lobbying for influence in the last few days as you were saying originally the frontrunner for that job was from the center left the dutch labor leader france to moments but he was seen as a toxic candidate by countries such as poland and hungary who hes been sharply critical of the other nominations will shall michel the belgian Prime Minister donald tusk in his press conference was suggesting that mr michel was ideal because as the leader of belgium a country which is of course so divided itself he would be a good person to get sides talking to each other and Christine Legarde very well known internationally managing director of the International Monetary fund the press Conference Also saw mr to askand chancellor merkel welcome the fact that there was another woman so 2 big nominations for women but its still not clear either whether the the the center left of the socialists and democrats are going to get any joy coming out of this because 11. 00 nomination that we dont know or perhaps too is the whos going to be the president of the European Parliament but also whether the parliament will actually ratify this package as you were just hearing from donald tusk its not a foregone conclusion and there is a lot of unease lets say from some in the parliament the view. Greens leading candidate has denounced this outcome as old europe at its worst calling on. The parliament to reject the nominations and i like the way it is that thats an option i suppose if they reject them but how likely are they in reality to do that. Well it would be quite quite a departure from whats happened in previous rounds where where once the leaders have come to a coup some kind of compromise then the. Respective blocs in the European Parliament fail to to approve but its it is possible i mean there are there is probably quite some. Some disappointment among for example the social democrats and the people that make gains in may european elections such as the the the greens and of course those nationalist or populist parties such as for example the brics it party in the u. K. Theyre all theyre all trying to have their say so its going to be interesting what will happen in the next few days is the European Parliament. Starts to vote on wednesday but the mother thank you very much indeed. Meanwhile the new intake of members of the European Parliament have been sworn in that includes the brits at party who turned their backs as the european anthem was played during the Opening Ceremony maris li has more back. Here comes trouble and its name is the brics it party it is now the Biggest Single Party in the European Parliament and as such is the best representation of how this institution is in flux as just one example has already threatened to help vote down the e. U. Budgets and it doesnt like the way that europe does deals the whole way the Group Systems work again very undemocratic you know you have to tie up with people in 7 other countries and you know if you were leaving and everybody else wants to stay then theres no sense in that sort of britishers. They certainly started as they mean to go on turning their backs in the chamber during the inauguration ceremony as the european anthem was played. So there are new fault lines everywhere outside a big castle and demonstration in protest against spain for blocking their leader. From taking his seat inside. And across the floor of the chamber new rights wing populists viewed with fear and suspicion by the establishment sent to rights while over on the left surging greens and liberals many wearing yellow stop bricks it t. Shirts are just as keyless lights this is not politics as usual were all out there doing our social media and its getting a lot more attention than it did before and weve got more journalists coming here as well and everything that raises the profile of european politics and helps people to understand how crucial it is to be part of the legal changes that are made here which is really were leading the world in terms of legislation that protects people on the planet everything that can help that is a good thing so by the traditionally been the standards of strasburg this promises to be an argumentative European Parliament with little sign the politicians are prepared simply to rubber stamp decisions. That have been made by the European Commission in brussels proponents of political stability in europe will say that thats messy you could just as well argue that its democracy in action. Ask most europeans m. E. P. Is and usually you get a shrug of the shoulders many of them are accused of using this place as a get rich quick vehicle making alliances for political expediency as much as for progress maybe the angry mood among the europeans will add a level of transparency and relevance to this place Lawrence Li Al Jazeera in strasbourg. Beijing has strongly condemned protestors who ransacked hong kongs parliament accusing them of trampling on the rule of law a group of activists stormed and occupied the Legislative Council building for several hours after breaking away from a peaceful protest the disorder follows weeks of huge demonstrations calling for a bill and larry extraditions to china to be scrapped the treaty you in beijing reports on the reaction from china. This is the hong kong the Chinese Government wanted the world to see celebrations marking the 22nd anniversary of its return to the chinese motherland instead bs with the scenes broadcast around the world dismissed by beijing as little more than violent mobs pursing what it says is a blatant challenge to the one country 2 systems rule its strongest words yet very few 1000 look what happened in hong kong violently striking in. And the damaging facilities is an act of troubling rule of law and violating social order is a serious the law breaking behavior. The communist party has condemned the storming of hong kongs Legislative Council and its full support behind chief executive kerry land government its backing a Police Investigation into the criminal responsibility of those involved on monday night saying offenders will feel the full force of the law. The Chinese Government are continuing to play down the takeover of hong kongs column and calling it the illegal behavior of a group of radicals but the intensity of the protest have no doubt such time as leadership and pundits and questions as to why so many homes are resisting they jews control they see or perceive that somehow beijing is over reaching that its violating what they perceive as the spirit or the agreement that was in the handover from beijings point of view theyre protecting their people and their country for now from Chinese State media a familia party line continuing to protest will only undermine social order and harm hong kong. Beijing is watching closely waiting to see of Hong Kong Government is able to stamp out the unrest if not it may bring with these protesters fear the more stuff more controlled from the mainland katrina you aljazeera beijing and hong kong itself have been mixed reactions to the protests not everyone agrees with the actions of some of the protesters despite the anger by the extradition bill for int he reports from hong kong.

This is a place for hong kong people it is a symbol of legislation even though people including the youngsters have different opinions they have no right to cause damage to the Legislative Council i think we should all protect this council its a place to discuss politics not a place for fighting hours after the riot police dispersed the rally a cleanup operation also began work is cleared piles of debris left behind as protesters made a quick retreat the latest rally came to an end amid clouds of tear gas and charging police the catalyst for the crackdown was the decision by protesters to force their way into the government building it came after a much larger peaceful antigovernment march earlier in the day organizers said more than half a 1000000 people came out on the 22nd anniversary of the handover of hong kong from Great Britain to china. They want hong kongs chief executive to resign and for a controversial extradition billed to be withdrawn. They see the bill which would allow criminal suspects to be sent to Mainland China for trial as another sign of beijings increasing control over hong kong as the Police Investigation continues here the debate is only really just beginning about the decision by protesters to burst into this building causing so much damage along the way and whether it will turn Public Opinion against the antigovernment movements even some supporters of the protesters believe it was a mistake but they say it has to be viewed in a broader context of what theyre trying to achieve why this down before. So this is respectful to the Old Legislature that is because it cannot represent the voice of the people the people of hong kong is still trying to digest what happened here the protesters grab everyones attention with directions but they still havent achieved their goals increasing the possibility of more violence on the streets when hey al jazeera on call still to come this half hour heavy monsoon rains caused walls to collapse on the huts and shanty towns in and around them by killing at least 31 people.

How long well you know people who are in love with eclipses apart from astronomers of course search or chase as they call it totality totality means being in what is called this very very narrow path of total darkness when the moon goes over a certain part of the planet earth and appears to totally covered the sun now that is a very narrow path as i say its only 200 kilometers wide this year and its and were right in the middle of it right here in the l. T. Valley but its not enough as weve been seen as weve heard from those who have gone chase all over the world to see total eclipse isnt going to as many as 16 or 17 of them they say sometimes it rains or its polluted or just too much Light Pollution as well and they cant see it properly but here the skies are absolutely pristine which is why you have some of the worlds most important observatories and its also why we have been seeing helicopters going back and forth shuttling the rich and famous to a camp thats just over the hill behind me where im talking about leonardo dicaprio.

Well more than that they couldnt watch the new didnt want to watch them because in the medieval days in ancient times people thought it was a bad omen the the ancient greeks thought that it meant that the gods were angry with human beings and in Medieval Times some people said that it meant and mystical figures like dragons were either eating or stealing the sun away from them and and the list goes on and on wolves are we eating the sun in taking it away and so people didnt understand what was going on now we can predict exactly when there is going to be a Solar Eclipse and that is bringing people from all over the world here to chile some 300000 people are have come here for this particular eclipse where as i say we should be able to really see it completely and its and should be a fascinating experience when the only real danger now is youre the retina of your eyes unless youre wearing these very same very nice filters to be able to look directly at the sun lauren and how long will it actually last. Well its already let me see its starting this now but its a long process the whole thing takes about from from start to finish 2 hours but the real important part is 2 minutes and 39 seconds thats when the moon will appear to completely cover the sun and youll see a range or as its called a solar corona or crown around the sun peeking out and this of course is what astronomers are looking for but for ordinary people like mortals like us its just going to look like an amazing experience.
