Council to desperately try to find a solution but quite frankly so far no indication that the situation has changed we live with max in brussels and team usa gear up for their semifinal match with the england at the womens world cup but for the americans already looking ahead to the championship england thinks so and the toll is adding to the tension head of the. Hello im terry Martin Thanks for joining us china has condemned what its calling gross interference by other countries in hong kong following violent protests in the territory china expressed resolute opposition to statements made by the us britain and the e. U. In support of demonstrators a tense calm has now returned to the city after protesters stormed a bandha lies the Parliament Building yesterday. Cleanup is underway. At Hong Kongs Legislative Council building the police have moved in after the protest has moved out. Of the citys leaders have condemned the destruction of. The Legislative Council complex has been stalled and extensively damaged the police its not gathering evidence in the complex. Past lets go president i strongly condemn the serious wodens that undermines the poll where there was all phone call. The many hong kong people would share the same feeling with me that we said than by what happened last night for the best interests of hong kong i hope that all of us but by the way forward question. Just hours before the protesters were able to smash their way in with nobody standing in their way street is demonstrations have been largely peaceful but with the homecoming executive offering only limited concessions campaigners say they had little choice i understand people. And honk all right the world might not 100 percent agree all it is separate called all of that be a fear of protester but when more than 25 percent of the population knows what a True Ministry will join to read it already put all their requests have been acknowledged so is there any way out. On july the 1st basing usually celebrates the return of hong kong to china this year it broke it silence over the ongoing unrest images of police clearing away protest as was shown for the 1st time on Chinese State media activists in hong kong a pushing for the withdrawal of a bill that would allow suspects to be sent to china to face trial the issue has become a focal point for resentment towards beijing. With the Chinese Government now demanding a criminal investigation a resolution is still a long way off. Lets cross over to Hong Kong Mathias berlinger is standing by material its calm there so far we understand but still the protesters demands havent been met today how is this going to play out anything. Yeah as you can see people are assessing the damage the lawmakers have shown up here on this Legislative Council to see what happened what the. Scene looks like today the protesters have disappeared its unlikely that they will disappear forever have a because as you said their demands have not been met and discontent is still strong now this these scenes yes today they have of course shocked many people and we will have to see how this plays out in the future but whats been the wider public reaction to all of this in hong kong with tears are the protesters united and do they have the broad public support. Well until yesterday that ha they have because the surprising thing about this movement was that so many people have joined more than ever before since hong kong has been. Handed over to china and thats the the the young the more radical people have had broad support among the population we will see how much of this support stays after these scenes are pretty many people of course are shocked by this others still blame the government for these young peoples anger this stubborn government that has not responded to the peoples demands so i think the next few days will actually be a battle in the media and in social media for the hans of the majority of hong kong as you mentioned the government is what about the government in Mainland China what about the leaders in beijing what do they make of all of this. They have condemned the violence they have also condemned foreign interference whenever foreign governments european or american mostly western governments have commented on these events they see this as an interference they see this and tiley as their own affair although they have an International Contract binding them to the status of hong kong thats walking a thin line with their own public right now because they do not want a broader discussion about protests but they often cause want to influence the Public Opinion in a way that would make people follow their interpretation which is too much democracy leads to chaos so we have seen a multifaceted approach here we see the awful new official newspapers who kept news about these clashes yesterday low they would be low the news about the celebrations that were held but they still try of course to influence the public and to prevent a spillover of this wish for democracy onto the chinese mainland test thank you did obvious Mathias Bellinger there in hong kong. Now the tussle for the e. U. Does tough job is taking center stage in brussels again today european leaders have been arriving for a 3rd day of summit talks to determine who will take over from his own club as you Commission President discussions have revealed deep divides in the e. U. Ahead of the summit france and germany had both agreed to back the dutch social democrat funds to months of his nomination is met with stiff resistance from Eastern European states and others within the conservative group the p p. Holdens Prime Minister stressed the need to find a candidate who could build bridges across the 28 nation bloc for human video to each to support that i feel we have with people who can make compromises in the elections to the European Parliament which took place a few weeks ago europe is much more divided than it was before but thats not the least manes that decisions that flow on from those elections must skillfully take into account the interests of all the Member States this bill so lets bring in max hoffman who is in brussels covering these talks max there are 28 countries here theyre trying to green on something or are they getting any closer to finding a new head of the e. U. Commission. So far all they did compared to yesterday is sleep might be the crucial and the secret ingredient to find a solution here because as we understand from sunday to monday tempers flew very high which is understandable they negotiated for about 18 hours but it doesnt seem like the front runner so far really has very good chances with the Eastern European countries france to moments they candidate the lead candidate of the social democrats was again rejected today for example by the czech Prime Minister andrei bobbish when he arrived here he was one of the few whos already arrived we expect the other leaders to come too so really to sum it up its unclear what the path forward is because the interests are so different but if they dont find a solution on this 3rd day of negotiations then that is going to be very difficult to explain to the people of europe. Well there has to be a Commission Head of the European Commission chosen somehow if theres no compromise in sight there in brussels how can this get sorted out. Its probably not going to be unanimity anyway something they used to have in the past but the german chancellor during a press conference on monday made it clear she does not expect unanimity so it will have to be a majority but they want to find the largest majority possible because youre going to have to live with the solution they find for the next 5 years and if theres a lot of bad blood that might hinder things by the way many think that the impasse were in right here is part of a bad blood and against germany in in the past so that might make things a little more difficult so path forward like i said probably a majority maybe not a large majority although theyre looking for a large majority the solution also might be to dump the lead candidate process or as it said in german the spits and kind of process that only one of those 2 declared lead candidates which are funds to moments that are already mentioned in the other one month could be about from the conservatives will be ditched and they find completely Different Solutions after all there is a large pool of potential candidates for the job. Now one of the things that makes it so difficult next understand is that the final appointments are supposed to respect political geographical and gender balance is there a risk that you leaders could decide to go against what you citizens voted for in parliamentary elections 6 weeks ago. You can really completely go against what the citizens voted for because for the Commission President you need a double majority you need a majority right here in the e. U. Council where the heads of state in government are so where the Member States are represented but also a majority in the parliament so its not necessarily about the Largest Party having the Commission Presidency but the party or the candidate that can muster or command a majority in parliament. Who is the leak who was the lead candidate for the Largest Party the conservatives doesnt look as the one who can muster that majority so after that if you find a candidate who can forge a coalition in parliament then that would represent the will of the people somehow but its not as clear cut as in other countries because you always have this compromise between the e. U. Institutions so between the parliament and the council where i am right now. Looking for compromise in brussels as max hop on that thank you so much.

Yes President Donald Trump has warned your brand that it is playing with fire after it bought later the terms of the 2015 nuclear deal for the 1st time red says it has exceeded a limit on low enriched uranium reserves allowed under the accord britain has urged tehran to avoid any further steps away from the deal the u. S. Unilaterally abandon the agreement last year 30 you know what theyre playing with and i think theyre playing with fire a warning from us President Trump as tensions with tehran reached another high. Not 2 weeks after irans shoot down of a u. S. Spy drone nearly triggered retaliatory airstrikes confirmation monday that to iran has breached the limit on its stockpile of enriched uranium. That limit of 300 kilograms was set by Historic Nuclear Deal with world powers in 2015 but the pact has been threatening to unravel since the u. S. Unilaterally withdrew last year and reimposed crippling sanctions since then iran has been piling pressure on the countries still party to the deal. Foreign minister mohammad serif warned europe in particular that to deliver on a promise to help to iran circumvent u. S. Sanctions or face consequences. The europeans have failed to fulfill their promises of protecting irans interests under the deal. Mouthed about the next step will be enriching uranium beyond the 3. 67 percent allowed under the deal. Such a move would be a step toward amassing the highly refined material needed for a nuclear bomb it would also raise the possibility of the e. U. Taking punitive action.

More than 1000 people have been forced to flee their homes and the residents of 3 villages have been evacuated. We have evacuated numerous villages at the moment were doing our best to keep them safe moment. Were not just talking about putting out this fire rather were talking about protecting peoples lives and livelihoods and securing the region its dangerous work for the firefighters and not just because of the flames but also because of potential explosions this was previously a military Training Area and tons of bombs munition is still on site thats why firefighters are not allowed to come any closer than one kilometer to the blaze the states interior minister is calling for federal help. As the leading edge of this wouldnt is its federal land and the leftover munition and other issues go back many years now were seeing the terrible result the state cant be left alone to deal with this problem and it will lessen because of the fire is not yet been determined and authorities are not ruling out possible arson. Of course by the test joins us now from just outside the fire zone teso whats the situation there now are firefighters any closer to bringing this blaze under control. Well unfortunately i have to tell you nothing is under control here latine the situation is very difficult still a 4th but it has to be evacuated.

Luckily for more helicopters are expected to arrive today you can see one behind me they come here in line at this ground to charge water and then t. Charge on to the forest these helicopters a so important because normal firefighters working on the ground they can actually reach the forest because they have to keep this one kilometer distance because of the munition thats still in the side of the forest were speaking about a 1000 tons of munition in the area of this former military Training Ground and this is exactly where the fire started well luckily no one has been so far neither the 5 fighters nor the inhabitants. Of the sea people. Especially the ones who werent evacuated i spoke to a lady she had to leave her home within 10 minutes and she has a normal job but also works as a family had to leave her animals behind and now she is scared of losing part of her livelihood but so far no and of the fires are inside here.

Scientists in hungary are accusing authoritarian Prime Minister viktor orban of trying to seize political control of their research this comes as the countrys parliament votes today on a new bill aimed at restructuring the countrys largest Scientific Institution the academy of sciences under the new law some parts of the academy would be run by people appointed by or critics say it will stifle Academic Freedom the government says it will boost the countrys economy. Hungry and Prime Minister victoria while bonds authoritarian approach to government doesnt tolerate much to send since taking power in 20 town hes tightened his grip on areas from the media to the judiciary to education many say hes now seeking to do the same in research opponents of the plans among them many students and scientists have been hitting the streets in protest like at this march in the capital due to past in early june they see the Prime Ministers plans as an attempt to nationalize research and they dont want to belong to. The government because we are afraid that the government really this side want to be sure the research and even if they want to to to decide or determine the outcome so for the research of the idea of equal vehicle to meet because of the completely organisational vehicle to me and obviously. To say we are afraid of. Changing the status of science in hungary in general open has been tough on criticism from academia and the past a long feud with the Central European university funded by american billionaire entrepreneur george soros ended last year with a Critical Institution forced out of hungary. Im not going to waste time trying to figure out what is in the mind of the man who runs this country disco ask him dont ask me what i will say is this. Hunger ariens should ask themselves who benefits here. The hungry and government says replacing the countrys academy of sciences has clear benefits for Research Projects that receive public funding but critics say the move to replace it with an institution controlled by the Prime Minister benefits one person most of all the orban.

Which well they say they really want to do what hes best 40 comedy and they are looking at scientists and they say many. Scientific projects are really not beneficial to hungarys economy and they want to make it more profitable now of course that a scientist would say how can you put a price on science it takes years to develop and they of course disagree but its not how the Prime Minister views its and in fact here behind me it is expected thats a new will guarding these 200 year old the situation situation the academy of science will passed without much problem ok then you say it probably will pass what impact then is this bill likely to have on Scientific Research in hungary. Well it will have a huge impact that is what the leadership since the hunt garion academy of sciences they fear that many scientists will effect leave the country and those that are already at 4 easy to asians will not come back so de fear really a brain drain and they also fear it will be a really the ends of the independence garion academy of sciences and many other you situations and they say its part of a broader effort by hugging Prime Minister viktor orban and his government to limit free thinking in this country thanks to funny stuff and votes for us there in budapest.
