Is the message for 2 south africa on signs of progress in the battle against. Health professionals it education is the key to improving our cops and. For systems go the wrong box 50 years since the astronauts of apollo 11 struck on a mission to put a man on the mold. Im good to have you with us. Dylan is a funny line is address the European Parliament in strasbourg as she winds up a bid to become the 1st woman president of the European Commission it was a last chance to win the support of parliament terry and phone designed to allay concerns of lawmakers who have criticized her for being too reagan she laid out a number of ambitious policy points on issues including climate gender equality migration and breaks it. Confident and smiling. Yet everything is on the line for the lion who is resigning as German Defense minister in her bid to lead the u. Commission. Some call her address to parliament the speech of her lifetime the world is calling for more 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 the conservative said european unity is the antidote to the continents Biggest Challenges most pressing among them Climate Change. 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. He celebrated her candidacy as a step forward for women she would become the commissions 1st female leader the german politician also promised a new approach to asylum it was a nod to italy greece and spain which process the most asylum applications because of their proximity to north africa and the middle east fearful peroration a common european asylum system must be exactly that common. We can only have stable external borders if we give enough help to Member States chasing the most pressure because of where they are on the map we need solidarity. Fund a lie and earn the endorsement of germanys original top choice for the job man fed of eva shes funny but psychopath and she is a committed european and thats why we will pursue our goals together with her she has the European Peoples Party firm support and our vote just it seems that. A number of europes social democrats have also given her their blessing but the far right and the far left criticized her speech calling it a bouquet of empty promises she will need the majority of votes in a secret ballot set for this evening. Joining me now is the Brussels Bureau chief mox hes at the European Parliament in straw smoke must find out why pressed or the ride back was 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 introduction i am a woman this is a historic 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 m e ps we talk to of course not on the far right but we are the ones that are essential here are the social democrats because theyre the one who put her over the hump and the feedback weve been hearing from most allegations so far is quite positive theres one notable exception though the german delegations so it was 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 of the need to. Tackle Climate Change no wonder greens interest because they had said earlier they wouldnt 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 matter 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 the 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. This is what she had to say. Mr souter kind of sounded like it was enough and the line is still hoping that some greens will vote for her she emphasized climate protection a lot was not something you liked yes but of course where still worried that these are just words and no binding action will follow from that there was a lot of conditions put to thats and 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 minus 50 and then in 2021 see how we can proceed even furder so you see that her her position shifts from day to day. And 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 to. But you think like you that sounds like you are considering giving her your vote. 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 for 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. And the group thats clear and social democrats she probably will get them she will lose the ones. Extreme rights because she said some things about migration and 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 no shes a shes shifting more to the left even more than her own political family has ever done because she did she just did a few things that were not really the position of the p. P. So much as we had at least this green member is keeping all their 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 and it was not the support of the candidate for this post stance 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 theres 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 fought 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 votes takes place but finding that and also press the point about being the 1st woman to hold this post if she is elected how does 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 and 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 of erotic garcia perez who is the head of the social Democratic Group here in the e. U. Parliament shes a feminist shes fought for general quality and so even though it was and 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 when do we actually have a result. A 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 there are 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.

Out there to put but hes obviously under increase youre watching did have a news coming up ahead. I. Operate 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 16th 19693 astronauts Neil Armstrong boss or brin and Michael Collins were poised to make history as part of the apollo 11 mission millions tuned in to watch the liftoff here we have some black and white original images of that moment the 1st manned mission to the moon took to the skies from nasa as Kennedy Space center in florida the crew reached their destination 4 days lee and it was a demonstration to the wild of the power of the United States today those black and white images can be seen in helping to bring a whole new generation closer to want the most defining events of the 20th century. For Neil Armstrong. Michael collins. And buzz aldrin it was the mission of their lives the estimated promise. Only for success was put it only 20 percent by nasa technicians and engineers. The launch was followed by multiple complex maneuvers each of which would have disastrous consequences if anything went wrong to get to the moon pilot mike collins had to ignite an engine to the nearest 2nd and then dunk the lander fairy and separated from the rocket. Busy surely duke was one of the team members at the control center he kept in touch with the astronauts on their mission. The ready enthusiasm for space was building but we were behind in the space race with the russians so that motivated the u. S. To commit to it. There was a tense moment 4 days into the mission when armstrong and aldrin flew towards the moon again and again the radio cut out. Then the navigation computer sounded the alarm Neil Armstrong took control and landed the lunar module gently on the moons surface. Baser the eagle has landed very excitedly i said roger toy for a ready week ill be on the grill you got a bunch of guys about the true blue were breathing again buzz aldrin filmed armstrong setting foot on the moon along with his historic words. Armstrong then went about collecting dust and rock samples buzz aldrin set up some scientific equipment. Together they planted the stars and stripes and the moon surface. And then the last big challenge the lunar module has only one engine and if it failed it would mean that the astronauts would be stranded on the moon. And manjoo makes it into orbit around the moon without any problems and almost 4 hours later it docks on to the command capsule. What seemed like an impossible feat had been accomplished and on july 24th the 3 astronauts returned to earth 1st they went into quarantine they could have brought dangerous microbes with them but later they were hailed as heroes all of them visibly touched by their part in the adventure of this century. And the 2 are the most spectacular events in the european cultural calendar the brigands festival in austria is famous for its elaborate stage constructions an impressive feat of engineering verdi is opera rigoletto plays out actually on lake constance. Had a soft spot for new voices and dragons even for these young birds whose nest is inside a head its part of the stage says its a kind of scary clown some 14 meters high and weighing 140 tons moved with heavy machinery he sang on so singers who were 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 next stage was the biggest challenge i am making 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. Thanks. Rigoletto as daughter gilda has the musical high point melissa pattys sings her aria norma from on high. 2 2 was. Who are. Was its just very intense because youre not used to be that high and so the breast can be sometimes you know a little bit unstable as you. Or 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. This story is about power and abuse the juke of mantua commits rape and murder those who stand in his way 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 opposite was true so it was obvious to me that this is absolutely the right opera for them to depict. Its a piece thats about a piece of power and sexual dependencies its about how powerful men sexually exploit the lower classes so its all sport and cannot stand you know brother 2 obvious way.
