formula one says its final farewell to a motor sport legend that is being buried today in his hometown of the n austria following his death last week at the age of 70. i'm sorry to the program nigerian president mohamad has been a dog. he did for a 2nd and final term today at a modest ceremony in the capital city of a president muhammadu buhari took his oath of office the 76 year old former military leader read out his oath but made no other comments at an open air ceremony a number of african leaders attended the occasion in africa's most populous nation . well not all nigerians are happy about election about half of registered voters in february selection were under $35.00 and many young people are skeptical that their 76 year old president is the right man to revamp the economy did the char earlier spoke with young voters who see no reason to celebrate today's inauguration of. these young men who want this cocktail bar and if the president were to stop by they would make a very special drink for him. he needs a strong drink or so maybe you could resets. where you get a strong drink you might put you to sleep when you wake up maybe you is going to think about all these youths gave all their strong drink let's see what we could do for them. they feel doing way too little to empower the youth all of them have studied abroad back here they are often called front of the nigerian makeshift infrastructure such as its regular power outages they must spend 200 dollars every month just to keep their drinks cool. we want to do something so if the government can give us. i think. give you power in terms of your power in terms of influence power in terms of electricity when we get electricity in finance. and infrastructure and how. he has promised all of that but it's hard to find someone who believes in his policies every area and that. nothing anything is the leading to the issue i feel that the. new people after a while i finally find a horror supporter eager to join the. president we need patience room was no buttes and they'd be the saints but i don't see it but. for now down to them with the war president the support of a majority of the electorate the youth about half of the we just said voters are under $35.00 but only every 3rd of the electorate went out to vote at all a historic low which does not bode well for president biharis 2nd term. now some other stories making news around the world afghan politicians and representatives from the taliban have met in moscow part of a conference marking 100 years of diplomatic ties between russia and afghanistan opening the meeting russian foreign minister sergei lavrov called for the complete withdrawal of internet. forces from afghanistan. in australia newly reelected prime minister scott morrison has been sworn into office a week after his conservative coalition won a surprise victory is cabinet includes ken wyatt the 1st aboriginal person to become minister for indigenous affairs and in argentina activists are renewing efforts to legalize abortion lawmakers have said that they would introduce a bill to legalize determination of pregnancies up to 14 weeks a similar motion passed the lower house of congress last year but was defeated in the senate due to opposition from malicious groups. to european politics next and a clash over who should take the e.u. stop job german chancellor angela merkel and french president emmanuel mccollum stand divided on the issue backs a process by which the biggest parties so-called lead candidate takes the post in this case the head of the european people's party who also happens to be a fellow german but no crime is calling for the selection process to be changed when it comes as government heads meet in brussels to discuss the blocs leadership for the next 5 years so let's have a listen to what 2 heads of government had to say after talks last night. the german government is committed to the principle of the lead candidates however the parties represented in the coalition have different views as to which candidates is best suited. if everyone just states with their preferred names because none of the groups have a majority on the left and even if 2 of them work together they still have a majority $30.00 even 4 groups to do this for so some obvious differences of opinion there let's break it down with teri schultz who is joining us from brussels so terry e.u. leaders they had hoped to be at least agreeing last night on the process for choosing the next european commission president why are they sort of stuck a standstill right now well sort of the fact that they can't even agree on how this person should be chosen much less who he or she should be underscores just how significant this job is and that's because the commission is the only institution that can propose legislation which of course has a huge impact on all $28.00 member countries and the president of the commission also will get to decide which commissioner from which member country gets what job in the new commission who's going to be in charge of trade who gets energy which country is going to provide the next federal. foreign policy chief so there's a lot of power in that job and no one's going to give it up easily and the fact that european parliamentary elections took the top 2 political groups down a notch or 2 means that political groups from other other sizes are saying hey we're tired of those 2 groups having a lock on the top job and we want it. does this debate terry mean that we could see a new commission president coming from potentially one of the smaller political groups and how exactly might that work. that's right it does mean that and in fact the fact the debate has been reopened is seen as thievery margaret the vestavia she's from the 3rd political group the liberals and she's somewhat of a unifying figure she's also a female which is which is important but you know there's also the possibility that someone who is not a nominee of the political groups could come in and swoop of this job out from under the noses of these candidates and the name mentioned in that capacity is michel barnier the bronx a negotiator so it's really wide open at the moment and it's going to be a long fight gender balance started a little bit there you know it's something that we're hearing a lot about when it comes to be used top jobs with european council president donald so 6 and that it's a priority for him are we going to see more women taking on key roles you think well so we've heard this before zhang klobuchar also said he was going to have a more gender balance commission and he only managed to have fewer than a 3rd of his commissioners female but you're right president has said that for him it is very important that 2 of the top 4 jobs be women if possible that underscores another problem member states do not propose women equal numbers for these top jobs so the problem starts way below brussels but in fact the there is a renewed interest in this and you know margaret's investing is strong candidates see may change things sarah teri schultz in brussels thank you. why way has asked a u.s. court to throw out legislation barring american federal agencies from buying its products the lawsuit was initially files in march and the chinese company is now asking for a summary

son. i'm going to miss the great things. austin was a college football player at the university of oklahoma and only 22 years old when he died from an overdose of opioid painkillers and. the last day i saw him was the day he graduated from the university of oklahoma that day one of his coaches britton venables came up to him and said austin. hasn't gone when and he said coach live in the jury just
