In the world to witness a total Solar Eclipse. And in sport india but theres a spot in the semifinals of the cricket world cup a security 28. 00 run win against bangladesh is world dreams are now also was. After one failed summit and another 3 days of talks european leaders have agreed on who should fill the top jobs of the e. U. Whose main institutions for the next 5 years they want German Defense minister. To replace as European Commission president belgian Prime Minister show me show that would be European Council president taking over from dawn to dusk. Spains foreign minister transit bro has been nominated to be the top diplomat he would replace for that he can will get any as high representative for Foreign Affairs and i. M. F. Chief Christine Lagarde has been proposed for president of the European Central bank taking over from mario draghi 1st though they all need to be endorsed by the European Parliament and in baba reports brussels. After days of wrangling its a close ally of german chancellor Angela Merkel whos got the nod for what many see as the most important job of underlying germanys defense minister and a selfproclaimed federalist is the leaders nomination for the post of European Commission president even if germany up staying on the Commission President. Is in the Government Coalition personality chancellor merkel supported the whole book which 1st and foremost we have chosen to women and to men for the 4 peoples issues a perfect gender balance. I am really happy about it after all europe as a woman child michelle the belgian Prime Minister is nominated to be the next head of the European Council with spains foreign minister Josep Burrell as the e. U. s Foreign Policy chief while the International Monetary fund boss Christine Lagarde is nominated to head the European Central bank you know had 6 in a tired of course we all had to give a bit we all had to move but once again the European Council has approved the fact that it is capable of doing so and given the disparate conceptions in europe and amongst the various party groups and families and the various Prime Ministers i believe it to be an asset. The dutch labor leader from his timmons had been seen as the front runner for a Commission President as the talks started on sunday but there was a big push back from countries including poland hungary the Czech Republic and slovakia the socalled visit for the hungary in some polls have been strongly criticised by symonds over their record on the rule of law throughout these negotiations donald toast the president of the European Council has been wary of putting things to a vote prefer him to reach consensus however slowly the process is highlighted not Just National divisions but the struggle for influence between europes political families the top appointments are meant to take into account the results of the recent european elections the group that did best the center right the p. P. P. Insisted one of its candidates should head the commission but the lead candidate of the greens has denounced the package as a backdoor deal and old europe at its worst is not a certainty that the parliament will approve the names. Im going to merkel says the e. U. Could explore new rules to avoid repeating the squabbles weve just seen for example direct elections and transnational lists whatever happens the calls for Greater Transparency are likely to get louder nadeem barber aljazeera brussels. Meanwhile a new intake of members of the European Parliament have been sworn in that includes the bricks at party who turned their backs as the european anthem was played during the Opening Ceremony there and has more from strasburg. 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 youre leaving and everybody else wants to stay then theres no sense in that sort of bridges. 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 kele the flights 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 the 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 who theyre any p. S. 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. Joining me on set is an uninvited so whos a research and Communications Associate for the policy think tank open year of thanks very much for coming structures just to go back to these top jobs to women in the top positions yes thats a great improvement a great message to send from the you from the beginning gender balance was an important criteria and the fact that they come up with this package of leadership in the missions shows that you need or is work through clearly committed to a goal and what about the parliament how likely is it really to to stand in the way of this this kind of grouping of top jobs that they managed to come up with thats very good question and something to watch out for because weve seen already much opposition from certain groups including the socialist is the 2nd Largest Group and the greens the 4th Largest Group in the parliament specifically against the whole process of nominating the Commission President and the fact that she was not and i mean she did not complain for elections she was just nominated by e. U. Leaders so they might see this as an undemocratic process so to what extent they will be willing to actually block her nomination we will see that but its not its not for sure that they will accept it so this is sort of on the line and i suppose people who. Also say kind of say that shes a federalist and they use the word in a kind of negative way whereas some people are federalism is a good thing within europe why how much of a an issue is that going to be surrounding her its interesting that actually. Countries in the Central Eastern europe who have supported her nomination because usually theyre the ones the ones that are against more pro integration as candidates so well see how that plays out but actually i am not sure how definitely there will be opposition to her full federalist position so thats why also if we can remain skeptical of her being approved or not and what about the i mean if the candidates if these particular candidates are approved what kind of do. Do you see the e. U. Going in the next 5 years so its. Brought you there action and definitely thats was one of the goals is to avoid having euro skeptic people at the top also the fact that its quite a western for a western this explicit specifically of this. In these nominations we dont see anyone from the essential Eastern Europe which. Kind of goes against the whole regional balance that leaders are also focusing on so. Definitely in that direction as well what about the main challenges to who all these i mean all these jobs theyre big theyre big jobs and what would you say the Biggest Challenges are well we have very a much more fragmented European Parliament right now its going to be quite difficult to come up with. Proposals that would gain the majority of the support of any piece we have a fragmented European Council as well we saw that leaders could not agree they were there for days for hours trying to reach an agreement and that will happen not only for this summit but for any other issue on the budget there are difficult negotiations ahead especially with the u. K. Leaving on migration as well its very difficult to reach an agreement so. Really monitoring these negotiations and coming to some kind of consensus that will be the great challenge for these leaders and in a bit not everything i say thanks very much indeed for computers thank you.

Russias president has ordered an inquiry after 14 sailors died in a fire on a Navy Submarine of Defense Ministry says it was a deep Sea Research Vessel based in several more sc which was carrying out a survey of the sea floor near the arctic at the time about to be putins someone the defense minister for a briefing on the fire and ordered him to fly to the naval base Defense Ministry says the deaths were caused by poisonous gases from fumes its the deadliest incident involving a Russian Naval submarine since 2000 when 2 explosions on a Nuclear Powered kursk killed all 118 men on board steadfast in has more from moscow. The ministry of defense announced that this accident happened on monday one day earlier and soon after their president putin rescheduled his appointment and met with the minister of defense. Who he actually ordered to go immediately to debase over a mosque where the Northern Fleet is based and also with his deep sea water vehicle that basically was object of this accident has been taken back to the minister is ordered to oversee the investigation and give the president for us hand reports on how that is going its still not clear what type of submarine was in that area and was having this fire reports here in the Russian Media have sat it wasnt a as 12 its called the lasher rick its a deep deep sea Water Nuclear submarine which is also used as a spy submarine its not very clear its very secretive for a submarine its not very clear what it can do but its sad that it can also disrupt a very important internet traffic and all kinds of communications between countries in case of a global conflict the United States has expressed its concerns of the use of this kind of sop and rain again we dont have any confirmation that is this is was the exact type where the accident has happened the investigation is now ongoing its being led by the Navy Commander showing the importance of the urgency of this accident the president also expressed his condolences and sad that its a great loss for the nation Marcus Makowski is a senior fellow at the Atlantic Councils Eurasia Center he joins us live via skype from washington d. C. Thanks for being with us can you tell us a bit more about this sub sub in question. Yes and theres actually potentially 3 some sorcery platforms in question one is the d. S. 64 the ohia or the or unburned which are them to scripting as the mothership subsidies of the subs that the 12 the asharq which is a smaller submarine holds about 25. 00 people that that some ring would attach to so that smaller summering would attach to a larger mothership and we deploy on you know super secret Covert Missions. To further support russian interests and the one piece of additional confusing is the less shark also has a mini submersible that can hold usually up to 5 russian Navy Personnel perhaps up to 20 so its an identifying which one of these specific platforms as the cause of the incident and then people are pointing to they as total shark this is a submarine that is made up of a series of which makes the submarine even more impenetrable to the heavy pressure of the sea so go down even further and has less they so any fire on they asked what was shark would be devastating because the crew and the equipment usually is and much more can find spaces and so as a result i think this potential capability both in terms of its design and its sensitivity it has some of the most Sensitive Missions Covert Missions that there are survivors and we have an undersea round because of its ability to dive so low is why theres such great interest in this potential disaster yeah i mean you use that with the expression i think super secret Covert Missions i mean in this case is it likely to have been on one of those would it have been spying or could it genuinely have been you know into the seabed again we are all speculating but the Russian Ministry of defense statement claimed that it was operating within russias territorial waters that again may not be factual so if it was operating within russias territorial waters it was likely an exercise for future missions. Again i think part of the questioning is the fact that this statement occurred a day later but in an operational environment this would be one of the 1st platforms of the Russian Federation deployed for a range of missions both in terms of cutting undersea cables as well as at its ration as well as disrupting but until communications in the transatlantic space but so far we just dont know enough to understand whether it was actually on an operation potentially in the arctic sea would naturally be where this would have taken place in terms of ringback how long it took for the crew to bring these injured sailors back to center most and not because he mccluskey thank you very much indeed to fill you in on this is appreciate your time thanks for time.

Beijing has strongly condemned protesters 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 allowing extraditions to china to be scrapped katrina 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 these were 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. 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 catrina you aljazeera beijing. In hong kong itself have been mixed reactions to the protests not everyone agrees with the actions of some of the protesters despite the anger stirred up by the extradition bill when her reports from hong kong. The center of power in hong kong is now a crime scene the Legislative Council of its parliament is in disarray after antigovernment protesters broke in on monday nights the morning after the Violence Police began investigating the incident which may result in protesters being charged for trespassing and vandalism those who usually work here still coming to terms with what happened. 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 bill 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 people are so disrespectful to our legislature that is because they 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 hong kong. Over the last 2 hours hundreds of thousands of people in south america have been witnessing a total Solar Eclipse this was the view from northern chile as the moon passed directly in front of the sun blocking the light for a few minutes tourists have flocked to the kokomo region for the cosmic spectacle as it has on the clearest skies or seen human joins me live from l. A. So do see its coming to an end now whats been happening. Yes theres not very little of the moon covering the sun now its almost all back although curiously enough at this moment its beginning to these times that this is been a very very unusual type of an eclipse precisely because the sun is so low and it happens and its its in exactly what they call here the past all the obscured you know where its where the light just disappears gay turns tonight and were going to make things spectacle are and i have to tell you suddenly the moon or rather the sun seem to disappear and it then becomes lit completely as though it were a full moon and so no wonder in Medieval Times people were very very frightened of this image of not knowing what was going on the temperature dropped dramatically turned the green so its now extremely cold here at the sun was bright and warm right before the eclipse and so it is coming to an end hundreds of thousands of people claim here to the cooking when i program a region from chile to see it because of the clear skies here which enabled them to see this completely as a total Solar Eclipse without any interference of small or or Light Pollution to go on their view and so thats another reason why of course astronomers and physicists have been watching with a lot of attention because it tells them a lot about really what is happening out there in our solar system mars and you may have touched on some of the elements this but why is this particular eclipse drawn so much attention. I think because were this is happening this whole area of chile will very very shortly home to 70 percent of the worlds astronomical infrastructure were talking about observatories the worlds most extraordinary and most modern state of the art telescopes theyre all in this area because all the conditions here allows you to see the stars better than almost anywhere else on in the world and thats a brings the scientists and the astronomers but also a lot of celebrities bill gates is here not far away Leonardo Dicaprio and a whole list of others very well known people who knew that they would be able to see this total eclipse as i said before without any interference and it wont be new happening certainly here again in the b. N. P. Valley inconceivable for another 212 years so this was the time to see it and see in this instance huge enthusiasm but it wasnt always like that was it. Generated a lot of enthusiasm you know i was amazed this is my this was my very 1st eclipse i brought my little glasses along in order to look at the sun i think everybody was cheering the people over surrounded me here people have come and theyre staying in in that tent sleeping up on the hill behind me but one of the things is that there are people that come from all over the world and they chase. Clips choices are called and then a man whos been to 16 Different Countries around the world chasing the truth which of course somewhere on our planet about every in teen months but then you can always see them another man from france and he was disappointed last time because you know the way to china and it rained the whole time so he wasnt going to be able to do it so it becomes apparently something the experts get addicted to or need some people get addicted to and they go all over the world to see that and im sure they werent disappointed with what they saw here just now you see in human thank you very much indeed.

European states say they wont seek to reimpose un sanctions on iran over its Nuclear Program for now despite it breaching the 2015 nuclear deal but french president Emanuel Mccoll has urged tehran to reduce its enriched uranium reserves immediately the uns Nuclear Watchdog confirmed on monday that iran is stockpiling more enrich uranium than its allowed under the deal this is a year after u. S. President donald trump withdrew from the accord. Irans parliamentary speaker says pressure from the u. S. Is only making his country stronger. Americas problem is that they dont know the middle east of the iranian nation and they think if they deploy some warships to the region they can suppress the determination of a nation but iranians have shown they have unified go from should realize that a civilized nation more united when they are bullied if they understand their problems will be solved understanding it needs wisdom. And treasure butlers following the reaction in europe and this report from paris now according to european diplomatic sources britain france and germany 3 the 3 european signatories to the 2015 iran deal are really intent on trying to diffuse the situation after iran exceeded its uranium limits these diplomatic sources also say that these 3 powers are not going to trigger a special mechanism that was in shrine in the 2015 a deal which would lead to the reimposition or u. N. Sanctions on iran the focus clearly for european powers is to try and persuade to tehran to continue to comply with the deal earlier in the day we heard from the french president amount of virus statement that was released by the elise a in which mark was calling on iran to reverse the steps its taken to exceed its uranium limits its also urging tehran to comply with the deal saying that president bankroll really focus on the next few days on doing everything he can to make sure that this deal survived is something we also heard from the British Foreign minister there is a clear desire on behalf of the europeans to continue to fight for this deal as they have done so ever since the United States pulled out and we impose sanctions last year. Iraqs Prime Minister is trying to rein in the powers of iranian backed militias in the country. Issued a decree ordering groups to integrate into iraqs formal military is under pressure from washington to curb irans influence when im in jenin june has more from the capital baghdad. Similar a bold new decree from the Prime Minister are that ive been mattie ordering the countrys Popular Mobilization forces to integrate fully into an office military more than 60000 fighters are part of the main Mobilization Forces some of whom are backed by you dont they have been highly effective in the fight against eisel in iraq and syria they also have brought influence in iraq and politics mondays decree came in the wake of several recent unclaimed attacks against bases in iraq hosting u. S. Forces and a site used by u. S. Oil giant exxon mobil local officials blamed a faction of the Mobilization Forces for one of the attacks but you don has not commented. In june the u. S. Moved hundreds of diplomatic staff from its embassy in baghdad citing unspecified threats from iran the u. S. Has also deployed thousands more troops to the middle east since may. It is a critical timing across the region that is why it prompted the iraqi Prime Minister to issue such decree given the fact that there are fears from these military factions that might not abide by the Iraqi Military hierarchy there are also regional and International Fears that iraq could not grab hold of the entire military establishment on top of it the Popular Mobilization forces according to the Prime Minister it is vital for the security of iraq to have the Popular Mobilization forces entirely under the military structure will as tensions continue to mount between the u. S. And iran many worry or iraq could turn into a staging ground for confrontation between its 2 biggest allies according to the Prime Ministers decree those who choose to integrate into the military must abandon their old names and sever ties to political organizations the decree adds that those who trust politics will not be allowed to carry weapons the government is also shutting down the Mobilization Forces headquarters economic offices and checkpoints manned by its factions. Influential or at afi she are clearing a souther was quick to declare his support for Prime Minister abdul mahdi announcing he was cutting ties with his own armed group and urging them to integrate into the military and i thought that aside and look over here i believe that the armed factions do in fact consent to what the decree and the proof for that is we are not seeing any chaos or Security Breaches that is why we can sense of these armed factions from the pm would willingly be under the control of the Iraqi Military and the Prime Minister of iraq and will not go rogue regardless of any internal or external influences. Or reaction to the decree has so far been mostly positive its unclear if that will remain the case the Prime Minister says groups like the Popular Mobilization forces will be considered outlaws if they dont comply with his decree by july 31st.
