To have you with us. Germanys reserve on the line has addressed the European Parliament in strasbourg as she winds up her bid to become the 1st woman president of the European Commission it was a last chance to win the support of your parliamentarians found alliance or concerns of lawmakers who criticized her for being too big she laid out a number of ambitious policy points on issues including Climate Change the equality migration and breaks that heres some of what she had to say syfy no animal finally the candidate for president of the European Commission is a woman. If we are to go down the european path we must 1st rediscover our unity if we are united on the inside no body will divide us from the outside if we close the gaps between us we can turn to more of stalinists in tomorrows opportunities. Honorable members our most pressing challenge is keeping our planet healthy. This is the greatest responsibility and opportunity of our times i want europe to become the 1st climate neutral continent in the world by 2050. And i will stand for fair texas whether for brick and mortar industries or Digital Business when the tech giants are making huge profits in europe this is fine because we are an open market and we like competition. But if they are making these profits by benefiting from our Education System our skilled workers our infrastructure and our Social Security if this is so it is not acceptable that they make profits but they are barely paying taxes because they play our tax system in honorable members. The rule of law is universal it applies to all in the last 5 years more than 700000 people have drowned in the mediterranean which has become one of the deadliest border in the world at sea there is the duty to save lives in. And in our treaties and conventions that is the legal and moral duty to respect the dignity of every human being the European Union can and must to defend these values the European Union needs humane borders we must save. But saving alone is not enough we must reduce irregular american ration we must fight smugglers and traffickers its organized crime we must preserve the right to asylum and improve the situation of refugees for example through humanitarian corridors in close cooperation with the un h c r the world just calling for more you the world needs more you i believe europe should have a stronger and more united voice in the world and it needs to act fast and that is why we must have the courage to take Foreign Policy decisions by qualified majority and to stand united you. Joining me now is the Brussels Bureau chief mox hes at the European Parliament in a straw smoke not fun to live pressed all the right buttons during a speech there was something for everyone how did it address go down there. Well because indeed she did have the right triggers and she had a good way of mixing it with her personal story the introduction i am a woman this is a story chance also stressing the fact that she has 7 kids which makes her more approachable and in the end telling a story about her father this mix seemed to have worked quite well with the emmy we talked to of course not on the far right but the ones that are in central here are the social democrats because theyre the one to put her over the hump and the feedback weve been hearing from most delegates and so far is quite positive theres one notable exception though the german delegations so enough on its own country the s. P. D. The ones that are in the same coalition as her party still saying were not going to vote for one of them was also very strong. The need to attack it can change the will of the greens impressed because they had said earlier they would be voting against. It theres a certain irony to that because the greens were the party to reject. As the 1st Party Last Week they met or they grilled her for over an hour and then they were very quick to release a press release saying were not going to vote for this is just not enough and i have a feeling that some of them at least regretted that decision a little bit today because as you said the speech was very climate protection heavy and see she said in theory all the right things for the green party by the way i talked to one of their members from belgium desoto this is what she had to say. Mr souter kind of sounded like it was enough and still hoping that some greens will vote for her she emphasized climate protection a lot was not something you liked yes but of course we are still worried that these are just words and no binding action will follow from that there was a lot of conditions put to that sounds as an example last week when we talked about c o 2 reductions in 2030. And the goal to reach minus 55 percent which was agreed by the parliament which is a goal that she shares when she was still hesitating on that she said well maybe we should go to mean minus 50 and then in 2021 see how we can proceed even furder so you see that her see her position shifts from day to day. And well what we heard now is much better than what we heard in the hearing that we had last week for sure but its not yet convincing to give our full support to her hold on we have still a full day of debate with her because she just delivered so the introductory speech and now the debate is ongoing and then we will have Group Meetings to discuss our position it is my feeling that my group will not give full support to her tonight snow but you think this sounds like you are considering giving her your vote i didnt say that well still have a full days of debates youre not excluding it im not excluding anything it can be supported can be abstention it can be a negative all to see tonight what happens when we have you know the whole debate and all the elements that we need on certain elements she has progressed she did her homework she listened to us and she definitely wants the vote of the s. N. D. Group thats clear and social democrats as a source of them she probably will get them she will lose the one such extreme rights because she said some things about migration about nationalism that definitely will not be accepted from that side and that is good because. We were afraid that she would lose the left side of the parliament and get the votes at the right and extreme right side which of course creates you know some some dependence from that groups so you know shes a shes shifting more to the left even more than her own political family has ever done because she did she just didnt say few things that were not really the position of the p. P. So much as we go to please this green member is keeping all her options open as to how shes going to vote and what the big issues there among the deputies is that or is it up on the line was not the socalled elite candidate for this post tell us about this controversy and its implications. Yes especially the greens and the social democrats were almost well hurt because they were all in regarding this lead candidate principle something that was born 5 years ago we have to make sure that everybody understands this is not part of the european treaties there is no legislation behind it it was sort of a convention that was born 5 years ago that only the ones of the candidates that were really on the campaign trail and the really the ones that to be elected could also be nominated later as president of the e. U. Commission the goal behind it was to give these candidates more more legitimacy and make sure that the citizens of the European Union have their say in this but this time the European Parliament failed to gather a majority behind one of those lead candidates including by the way the social democratic candidate funds to moments from from the from the netherlands so by not agreeing on one of those candidates after the elections they basically handed over the power of this process to the leaders so the representatives the heads of State Government of the Member States and they came up with a line and that still makes some of the m. E. Piece here quite mad we have to see how this plays out of course when the vote takes place but finding that and also press the point about being the 1st woman to hold this post if she is elected how did that business with pay for that. Its a stuart and i would say most m e ps at least the ones we talk to think its a good thing of course then you have some who think its absolutely brilliant who fought for gender equality during their whole political career just to mention one example xerox or garcia perez who is the head of the social Democratic Group here in the e. U. Parliament shes a feminist shes fought for gender equality and so even though it was is a member of the conservative party. Garciaparra stood up after her speech and gave her Standing Ovations as the group leader of the social democrats so that shows you the direction that the s. And d. Group the social democrats will probably go into at the end of this day so walk us through what happens for the rest of the day and render we actually have a result. Member of the conservative party told me earlier she can start planning her Victory Party now because the feeling really is that shes going to make it there are some meetings of the political groups this afternoon where they will give their official recommendations whether to vote for. Or not social democrats at 4 oclock this afternoon until about 6 oclock this afternoon and at 6 oclock we have the official secret ballot so a secret vote will take their times to count those votes because they want to make sure they get it right especially if its close so we do expect official results by 730 this evening right max elfman at the European Parliament instructable thank you very much. And of course well have live coverage of the vote when it takes place that we now bring you up to date with some other stories making news around the World Climate activists from the Group Extinction Rebellion have blocked the entrance to a concrete factory in london the group wants to coach the construction of a road tunnel under the river thames planned a week of destruction in 5 british cities to take action on Climate Change and.

In the us President Donald Trump seems eager to find more controversy despite widespread criticism of his racist tweets before nonwhite u. S. Congresswoman speaking at the White House Trump said many people agreed with him and liked what he had said but the 4 lawmakers have hit back at the president s language however they stress they will keep the focus on a spot to seize not his words. Trump has seldom been one for a club. So it was no surprise when he stood firmly behind his controversial tweets from sunday. But if youre not happy in the u. S. If youre complaining all the time very simply you can leave you can leave right now. But they have to love they have to love our country their Congress People and i never used the names trump may not have named names but there appeared little doubt he was referring to an outspoken quartet of congresswoman that calls itself the squad all of them u. S. Citizens 3 of them born in the u. S. And none of them white they certainly felt singled out like the president they didnt mince their words sadly this is not the 1st nor will it be the last time we hear disgusting bigoted language from the president our her urge house leadership many of my colleagues to take action to impeach this lawless president today hes launching a plainly racist attack on florida duly elected members of the United States of house of representatives all of whom are women of color this is the agenda of White Nationalist despite the occupant of the white house a chips to marginalize us and to silence us please know then we are more than a 4 people our squad includes any person committed to building a more equitable and just worded he tells us that i should go back to the great borough of the bronx and make it better and thats what im here to do but even after that response trump was unrepentant and back on twitter this time he referenced the 4 progressives claiming that the hate the us israel to and that they are endorsing socialism. Typically the president seems unruffled by any of this among his last tweets of the day was one containing just 4 familiar words in block capitals make America Great again. Youre watching the deputy is coming up ahead. The opera on the lake we take you behind the scenes of one of europes most spectacular cultural events. But 1st 50 years ago today on july the 16th 9693 astronauts Neil Armstrong buzz aldrin and Michael Collins were poised to make history as part of the apollo 11 mission millions tuned in to watch the liftoff. As we can see in these original black and white images the 1st manned mission to the moon tips the skies from nasa as Kennedy Space center in florida the crew reached their destination 4 days later. For. And with that step to United States had won the race to the moon in what was one of the defining events of the 20th century. Joining me now from all is dr ornish curler from the German Aerospace centers institute for Planetary Research welcome dr good a 1st a for what did this Historic Mission mean to you its in memory of my childhood i was 6 years old and us woken up in the middle of the night and sitting with my 3 brothers in front of the t. V. And couldnt believe it was so dangerous was it because i also remember this was such a big event in our lives and i was also a little child at that point but how dangerous was it at that time and what could have gone wrong today we know that it was much more dangerous that they told us they these days. Even said it was about 5050. 00 and when you look at the technology they had these days its kind of miracle that nothing ever happened. Thats true and you see and that to my real remember that very famous sentence of Neil Armstrong one small step for man a giant leap for mankind so what exactly has this mission achieved and what kind of implications that have for mankind well for the 1st time man left his planet so we put our feet on a different planet everybody in the solar system and it will be like this for a long long time that we will not touch another planet broken so so soon it was a big of once meant in technology it was science grid and science with 6 apollo and landings on the moon returning 400 kilograms of rocks to europe and beast gave us the tools to identify a child with the earth and moon system it was so historic at that for now met a humankind has never been back to the moon since the Apollo Mission and now a new project is on to send people back to the moon before we continue our conversation lets take a look at the new project about sending a manned mission to the morning again. You rockets are set to carry modules for a space station to orbit the. Lunar orbit all platform gateways for lucky for short is a modest successor to the International Space station like the i assess this project will be developed through International Cooperation under analysis leadership. Astronauts will be able to launch and monitor missions on the lunar surface from the new were putting station. First they will study the moon with remote controlled robot to determine the extent and location of the moons resources. Later astronauts will be able to reach the moon from the gateway. The aim is to build a Permanent Base on the lunar surface where technologies could be developed and tested. Then they can advance further into space toward mars. The long term goal is to use the gateway as a kind of Assembly Line and transfer station for the astronauts on their long journey to the red planet. But that probably wont be possible until over a decade from now at the earliest. Looks fascinating so dr could why is sending people back to the moon 50 years after the 1st landing there why has it taken so long well its an expensive affair and its its a lot of effort needed to do it to feel free to fulfill it and its now a good idea because the International Space station is coming to an end slowly probably the end of the next decade and you have now to think about what will you do next after a bet and then returning to the moon is a logical step because it could be the way to mars exactly talked about that we come to that in just a moment but 1st tell me what kind of experiments new experiments will the astronauts be conducting on the moon we have 50 years after a completely new Technology Much better instruments and tools to identify Minerals Chemistry and all these things we have detected water on the moon this would be a source for full that we could use from the moon going to mars and things like that so its a lot she was there 50 years is a good time now to think about returning to the moon and doing new things new science new technology and one spends in space and space flight of course and this seems to be quite a kind of international wrist building. To get to the bone right we have a completely different situation in the sixtys when it was just a confrontation between the 2 blocs in the east and the west so. Now International Cooperation is the key word absolutely and the United States already have been whited other spacefaring nations to participate like russia they already agreed that we should they they would share this japan and canada for instance and maybe even europe then right then you talked about how really a landing on the moon actually help us to get to mas the moon is a much smaller body than the earth it has only 118th of the mass of earth so we have only one 6th of gravity to overcome so we can use bigger mass to send to mars so and we would have an outpost on the moon where we could prepare everything and then go on to mars which will be a very long shoni i mean moon is foreign a 1000 kilometers away and mass at least 60000000 gosh they want just to get the perspective in which is why we have an expert like you with us dr ornish the magellan edda space center thank you so much for sharing your expertise with us youre welcome. Now to one of the less spectacular events in the european cultural calendar the brigands festival in austria is famous for its elaborate stage construction and its an impressive feat of engineering there is opera rigoletto place out actually on the lake on the constance. Always had a soft spot for new voices and reagans even for these young birds whose nest is inside a head its part of the stage set its a kind of scary clown some 14 meters high and weighing 140 tons moved with heavy machinery he sang on soul singers who are moved along with it have to be totally safe we have wind where the waves and making sure that it really works and works in a magical way the way it has to be on the lake stage was the biggest challenge i am evening and the head does become magical it turns into rigoletto the jester who makes a fool of himself in the course of the opera a tragic fall since the story ends badly thats why in this production the head is not only moved its taken apart dismantled becoming a deaths head. Rigoletto as daughter gilda has the musical high point melissa pity sings her aria caro norma from on high. 2 c 2 who are. Was its just very intense because youre not used to be that hard. And so the breath can be sometimes you know a little bit unstable as youre. Youre literally flying in the air so it moves and if there is a little bit of wind you will you will feel it right away. The story is about power and abuse the juke of mantua commits rape and murder those who stand in his white a done away with this production is directed by Philip Stewart cink better known for his music videos for ramstein and hes used to drastic imagery here in break ins to pulling verdis rigoletto into the present day. The talk the competence obstacles so it was obvious to me that this is absolutely the right opera for them to depict all forms that sort of thing its a piece thats about abuse of power and sexual dependencies michel its about how powerful men sexually exploit the lower classes so its all all sport and im not stand in the obvious way.
