Suspected victims including the one girl tough being killed and more than a dozen on injured. Plus a big surprise in german football outsiders who knew him personally and make their way into the bundesliga for the 1st time in the clubs history we have all the details of last nights nerve racking playoff match against just got. Mackinnon thanks for joining us a conference on Climate Change is about to get underway in the austrian capital vienna its the brainchild of the full might u. S. Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger who famously said that republicans and democrats do breathe the same ab hell be joined by swedish activist gratitude and it has been leading to the School Strike Climate Movement known as fridays for future speech. In copenhagen at the weekend she called on politicians to enforce the paris climate agreement to tackle the Climate Crisis. I will have more on the conference in vienna with our environment correspondent in a moment but 1st a look at how one european country luxembourg is trying to reduce its emissions. Another traffic jam in luxembourg a daily nuisance but the minister for mobility says this is going to change luxembourg is set to become the 1st country in the world to offer free use of on public transport nationwide by 2020 human i for fish we simply have to understand that a car is not always the ideal mode of transport in urban areas of course we have to offer people alternatives and that means we have to invest a lot more in the studio expanding the rail Network Alone will cost luxembourg around 2200000000 euros the goal is to make it possible to transfer to the tram bus or bike all electric of course in particular the idea is to get the 200000 commuters who travel daily from belgium france and germany 70 percent of them by car to switch to Public Transit to achieve this park and ride spaces are being doubled and car lanes are being replaced by tram lines. Thats for. An office space was being planned you had to provide a minimum number of Parking Spaces a few years ago we turned this around so now the number of parking spots is limited youre only allowed. In the. Freedom for the transport authorities control center the have of data from across the system if there are delays additional vehicles are dispatched after all people will only switch to public transport if they can count on quality and service the sleek new city rail runs at 4 to 6 minute intervals complete with y. Fine and power outlets students are. Those under the age of 20 can already ride for free. People are getting around in a different way now they no longer use a car for every 500 meters Public Transit is really bringing about change. But ticket machines will remain at the train stations those who prefer to ride 1st class will still have to pay. And im joined now by my colleague john from our environment desk tell me is making public transport really an effective way of reducing Carbon Emissions tackling the Climate Crisis and a lot of ways yeah its i mean cars are one of the biggest emitters of Greenhouse Gases and time to say is one of the most effective ways that you will we personally could reduce our Greenhouse Gas emissions along with cutting down on flying and. Reducing the meat intake we have. By even not driving or by driving less and actually getting people to do that is incredibly tricky. As a one way the people suggest theres obviously offering free public transport to everyone and thats partly because not everyone is able to just give up the people rely on cars for their jobs their work and to ask people to make those sorts of economic sacrifices without giving them an easy way to kind of alleviate. If many if you can ask ok lets have a talk about whats happening in vienna today talking about 16 year old time activists gratitude that those going to be there last night before. Actually tweeted this picture which i think were going to have a look at now which was him and in vienna together now the 2 are going to be meeting with heads of states with representatives from the u. N. The World Health Organization is all very hot high profile. How much influence do these people really have on Climate Policy its hard to measure but i think a lot of people so aggressive. Lets remember this softly spoken 16 year old. Could and it really resonated with a lot of the they were able to see the action that she was making the changes years making i mean for instance shes taken the train to vienna yes that so theres a big idea that i think is very powerful which is that people can see themselves in these sort of Climate Action areas that they think the time theyre on the short think its been you think and i think this is a really effective way in many ways of getting people to actually relate to climate and thats where maybe the scientists have struggled for quite a while so true is that its the people cause of it isnt it is being able to understand why and then understanding how you can you can make a difference yourself. Weve been talking about the e. U. Elections europes green paper policies made major gains in the e. U. Election has been called a green what youve does this tell us something about peoples maybe growing understanding of Climate Change or the Climate Crisis withholding him yeah i think one of the interesting aspects is that its becoming more and more mainstream that i mean in germany for instance we saw that the green party was the Favorite Party of the under sixtys so its no longer just the sort of Kids Movement of school kids protesting in the friday of the future protests but its gone far beyond that to something where i dont its and old people. Very willing to understand that engage with the challenges that climate presents to them. So i think on one level its definite become more and more accepted within society but on the other hand the big question from environment find us which is why is it happening fast enough of these changes and this growing awareness of climate nature they really enough to make these massive changes that they say we need to make starting now speed of speed is of the essence hatchet niranjan from our environment s. Thanks so much thank you. Elate is a set to meet today to talk about who will take over some of the key roles in the wake of the parliamentary elections among the jobs up for grabs is Commission President a role thats currently held by. A german chancellor Angela Merkel says she wants a decision to be taken quickly well have more on that in a moment but 1st a look at some of the candidates whove already thrown their hat into the ring. Their star go. To months. For v. P. It is that the elections are over but the race to succeed as the next Commission President has just started. Too many he is the front runner months to be about the lead candidate of the Largest Group in the parliament the conservative European Peoples Party despite a loss of 38. 00 seats his group and he still claim the e. U. s top job but brokering a majority in parliament will likely prove difficult. For france to know months from the social democrats it will be even more difficult for the dutchmans as india group came in 2nd with a total loss of 40 seats even if he managed to form a coalition with the greens liberals and the left party he would still fall short of a majority in parliament. It is the 1st time in 40 years that the big center right and center left groups arent able to control the majority of seats in the European Parliament. Is still some think she might come out as the winner migrated best to denmark this serving competition commissioner didnt run as an official candidate during the campaign that we need however after her liberal alliance made strong gains made clear that she is for the presidency. In the end it will be up to them. The leaders of the Member States will choose their nominee for the job. And it might be somebody nobody has on the list just gets. All right im joined now by a correspondent in brussels terry shell terry lets start with the role of president of the European Commission what the significance of this job. There it is a huge significance as as mentioned there are a lot of top jobs in brussels every time theres a change of the European Parliament and the commission but this is really the plum post when you think about it this person will decide the shape of european legislation for the next 5 years because only the commission can propose legislation to the European Parliament in addition he or she will determine who gets which commission and who gets which dossier who will take federal job the Foreign Policy chief it would be hard to underestimate the importance of that who gets fisheries who gets energy there is one commissioner from each member state but the president of the European Commission will do all those out so a its not a surprise that theres going to be a big debate over who gets its job now there is some disunity amongst european leaders about how the next candidate should be chosen but germanys Angela Merkel is pushing for a quick decision lets have a listen to what she said the voice. We want to find a solution as quickly as possible because the European Parliament will meet at the beginning of july and it would of course be desirable if they were already proposal of the European Council so that stuff it could be carried out very quickly. So merkel wants a quick solution but the main parties didnt get the big majorities they had hoped for debate so is this going to make finding an agreement more difficult. Absolutely the fragmented results of the European Parliamentary elections are going to make what would have already been a very long and drawn out process despite what america wants into something thats going to be even more complicated now of course she is pushing for a quick decision because she likes this process of spits and conduct where the Major Political groups propose their president of the commission in advance and they campaign on this so a quick decision would would benefit or the head of the European Peoples Party who does remain of course the Biggest Political Group in the European Parliament but now you have french president Emmanuel Mcmullen saying no no no we cant simply take these candidates because his candidate migrate to vista comes from the 3rd largest Political Group and now you also have to take into account the greens probably not the far right because nobody really wants to work with them but you can no longer have the 2 Major Political groups the European Peoples Party and the socialist and democrats deciding together they no longer have the sheer numbers to get their decisions through you also have the socialist and democrat candidate friends timmermans who did extremely well in his National Elections his labor party won and hes made no secret of the fact that he hasnt given up this fight yet so while chancellor merkel may say she wants this done quickly i dont think youre going to be coming out with any unified decision from the summit that were holding here in brussels today all right terry whats that whats this space thanks so much for your reporting. All right lets have a look at some of the other stories making news around the world. At least 40 people have been killed in prison riots in brazil or thora sees say the deadly clashes with spocks by fights between rival gangs in 3 different jails across the town of analysis the government has mobilized additional stuff to secure the prison. Malawis president. Has been reelected to another 5 years by a narrow margin the countrys Electoral Commission confirmed the results after a delay to the final count over allegations of vote rigging. Ukrainian president has visited soldiers on the frontline of the countrys conflict with russian backed separatists after his visit he found to improve the soldiers Living Conditions selenski says ending the war in Eastern Ukraine is his top priority. In japan a group of schoolchildren have been attacked by a man carrying a knife on a busy street at least 3 people are dead including the attack and more than a dozen people have been wounded the stabbing took place in kawasakis city near tokyo japanese media reported that one of the dead and most of the injured all School Children its believed they were waiting for a bus during the morning rush hour a suspected attacker is reported to have killed himself. Im joined now by michael pena journalist based in tokyo michael what has the local authorities know so far about the attack. Well the tech certainly came out of nowhere as far as anybody was concerned you know theres been nothing about it anybody knowing who this person know was or why he did it but apparently this morning at about 7 30 am local time when the schoolgirls were lining up for their for their bus to take down the school man approached them with kitchen knives one in each hand and said im going to kill you and then he proceeded to attack the girls and in the end apparently about 16 of these young girls 6 or 7 years old were injured and one of them has died and he also killed a man in his thirtys before running a few yards away and sticking the knife into his own throat and killing himself it sounds absolutely have respect he said these a school young School Children is there anything else you can tell us about the victims of this attack. They appear to have been basically Young School Girls that went to a local catholic school. And they were. They were just 2 young girls going to school i mean theres not too much more to say mostly all japanese probably and as well as the attacker so far as we know. So you have basically Normal School kids going to school the alleged attack as you said is among the dead is there anything we can ascertain about his his motives why why did he do Something Like this. Well course that is the question which is being widely asked in japan right now you know why would somebody do such a thing what i can say is that theres not even a hint that it has anything do with politics or any larger issues i think you know in the absence of information but looking at the pattern of the event it appears very much to have been somebody who was mentally disturbed in some way who just carried out the attack as sort of a murder suicide but at this point the authorities arent releasing any information about the attacker except for the fact that he was 57 years old ok michael pena take a thanks so much. Thank you. I just 2 weeks ago the austrian chanceless a bust and caught invincible but now he is the countrys 1st leaders since the war to be ousted and then no confidence Nation Parliament voted to kick him out over a Corruption Scandal involving his far right Coalition Partner the freedom posse now the country will be run by technocrats until new elections in september for his part is vowing to fight on. You know in my view im still here. I am reading. A defiant sebastian courts promising supporters hes not finished yet he predicted that he and his austrian Peoples Party would be back in power within a couple of months. The the and in the next weeks and months real travel all over austria talking to the people gasping for their support today parliament decided but at the end of the day in september in this democracy the people will decide and im looking forward to that thank you for your support. Hauser earlier in the Austrian Parliament he was dramatically ousted from office by his former allies the far right Freedom Party they teamed up with opposition parties to mount a vote of no confidence in the chancellor. Thats to pull this cancelling out what really has surprised me is stent the chancellor in such a situation has still to this day not offer to one word of apology to the austrian people mr chancellor. In this case because. It was an act of retribution the coalition fell apart last week after Freedom Party leader Heinz Christian straka was caught in a sting video promising government contracts to supposedly russian heiress in a beach in exchange for campaign support. The verge of no confidence came a day after courts celebrated the victory of the center right party in the European Parliamentary elections that result is what gives the young leader confidence that he will be returned in a general election in september. Till then austria will be governed by technocrats. What you need of a new still to come the founders from this balance of celebrations that seem makes history we will tell you why in just a few lines. The 1st venezuelan president Nicolas Maduro has promised to show good faith ahead of a meeting in norway between representatives of his government and those of Opposition Leader on. The talks this week will be the 1st face to face meeting between maduros representatives and his rival as the crisis in the country drags on the victims are ordinary people many of whom do not have enough to eat or to drink some viewers may find some of the images in this next report disturbing. This baby was born severely undernourished shes 3 months old now but still only weighs 2 kilos her mother catherine often eats just once a day and has little left for her daughter maybe. I get weak and dizzy you see when it does come out of my breast its usually very little and watery not substantial like she knew. Electricity is unreliable even if the family did have money for food they wouldnt be able to keep it cool. They will have to repair everything immediately we have to eat everything otherwise it goes bad what am i supposed to do. Carolyn alayo leads us through her neighborhood america the hunger people feel is palpable and our team is not sheltered from their suffering we go one door down to see miguel his condition is extreme his mother is doing all she can but needs help carolyn. Says she suffers right along with her neighbors. Sometimes i dont have anything to eat i just cant keep anything down im traumatized there are so many that in. The Monthly Minimum wage in venezuela is not enough to buy 5 liters of milk every one ask for help and shes managed to organize donations and basic supplies in the past carolyn and used to say she would fight for socialism to the bitter end but not anymore. Any more they spoke about humanism it and improving conditions for the awful but it was a lie they fooled us theyre not for the poor they just look after themselves. Always in the heart of the countrys oil industry it once made venezuela rich but decades of corruption and mismanagement have led to the crisis now International Sanctions are making things worse in many places theres a lack of Drinking Water these local children walk to a nearby well and find nothing that was completely dry. I think the end of you know i pray to god that it will rain so we can have water because nothing is coming out of the pipes we dont have anything we cant even wash ourselves nothing and. Even with the fan the heat is hard to bear without power there are no fans no cooling and no sleep nerves are on edge without relief everyone we speak to blames the government. They are making us mentally ill the fear the desperation the sleeplessness we cant sleep because we think there will be no tomorrow and this isnt just my neighborhood and think about the rest of venezuela you havent seen the movie. It will be dark soon very dark no one here can afford to buy candles the heat drives people to sleep out on the street. Carolina says they are not real people anymore just zombies not dead but also not really alive. We are going to be talking about some football now a club here in the german capital and you in berlin have made history that living up to germanys top for the very 1st time relegating in the process for more that i have anyhow and from. Anthony tell us about last night was pretty tense and it was only in berlin a part of a footballing fairy tale now this is an updated example of david versus goliath goliath the stuttgart of 2 world cup winners in this squad one of them the frenchman bonnie month about is worth nearly 40000000. 00 euros now that is twice the value of the entire when you own squad so this is big versus small very much so when you are small club playing in a small stadium at the edge of the forest and it was there that this People Powered club at the chance to make the bundesliga big guy. In the last 10 attempts but with the backing. They would have been confident of bucking the trend but it got started better and looked like hed scored a beauty of a free kick but the video assistant referee spotted an off goal. Remain at half. Blood for the cause a new one came into the game after the break this was the 2nd time they were foiled by the woodwork abstention. Came closest to rescuing the day for stuttgart who have but. Was the final score but 2 goals last week meant they had finally reached the promised land. To germanys top tier for the 1st time and the fans joined their heroes on the pitch to celebrate their moment in history. Its a really historic night. And as we just saw that theyre not your run of the mill modern Football Club but they know theyre not there form is german state sponsored club and they were proudly known as being antiestablishment then and they are that now through the this little stadium is mostly standing room only dont expect from big sports but a fantastic article one want i can recommend to you to describe them at stakes perience its just on why any of these 9 music after a goal scored those new theres no pregame show there is no fuss its really a club from another time and thats what the experience is when you go there at a time when most people associate with football Manchester City in the oil sponsored money you look at these things here and you see. Joy they might save themselves and if you ask them they might never win a title but for the sweetest victory of all the one i celebrate the last not was just merely making it to the bundesliga a really great story what will they what will it bring to the band the beads and football the way it was i think would be the summary and the experience that really cant be bought anywhere else i think this is now a field of dreams. Experience that you can only get going to this ground you can step back into football the way it was. And really it will become a distant nation where you can experience this week the just cant get it anywhere else and ive also delivered berlin the new hottest ticket in town because we have a 1000000000. 00 be back in the bundesliga and have to out the out people think that much. All right just enough time for a binder of the top stories that we are following for you today the former u. S. Government well its not im swedish activist across a tune but are about to open a Climate Conference in the austrian capital vienna the 2 are joining forces to urge the world to take more action to stave off the threat to our planet.
