The 1st comment from last weeks massive antigovernment protests some of the largest in decades they wanted to use the opportunity to carry out this move which was an act of destruction and. This move was destroyed by the people. Unions Incoming Commission president has won the parliaments approval for her new take on the line is the 1st woman in the top job and she has set out some goals including turning the bloc into a green superpower and trying to boost Economic Growth as well as should also have to deal with deep divisions amongst Member States. Resulting approval from the e. U. Parliament confirming the new team of Incoming Commission president from the lion. On the line is the 1st ever woman Commission President and her team of 26 dont differ too much in profile from the usual brussels career politicians but her ambitions are a marked change her ideas a forward thinking as is the gender balance of her team it is a team with almost all levels as many women as men only one woman away from gender balance this shows. This shows we have made Real Progress but also that we still have to do more on the lines primary focus is on Climate Change at the Upcoming International climate meeting in madrid this december she plans to present a European Green deal which aims to make europe the 1st climate neutral continent by 2050. We do not have a moment to waste any more on fighting Climate Change. The faster europe moves. The greater the advantage will be for our citizens our competitiveness and our prosperity. To get going on the line will have to overcome europes internal political problems once in office this sunday shell begin torin european capitals selling her green vision is something quote inclusive recognizing that many countries such as poland and indeed germany still rely on coal for electricity she also needs to tackle countries like hungary which arent too keen on European Values despite being Member States she certainly has a big job ahead of her. D. W. Is a Brussels Bureau chief maps hofmann caught up with us on the line after the consignment consummate result in strasburg. The europe that you want to build with this new commission how is the rest of the world supposed to view it well i think its time that europe is stepping up to be assertive and confident we have to give large to the world and if you look at the topics of the European Green deal or digitalisation the european voice is needed so i think its time to position europe in a new form it lets a concrete example the United States competitor or partner in these days our friends in the United States our partners i mean we have a Strong Foundation over decades and if you look at all the people who are having friendship and business contacts with our american friends this is what the transatlantic bonds of the transatlantic friendship is all about of course we do have issues but. As with good partners you have to discuss these issues and solve them what about china. China is on a different page. It is moving more into a direction where we have to figure out how to deal with topics that are difficult for example the social scoring in china poses a lot of question. The way ballot and road initiative. Is structured has many open question for us so that will be a topic to discuss with china and will set up seems like you have very Ambitious Goals for example for the green deal europe being Carbon Neutral by 2050 are you setting the goals very high in order to achieve maybe something inbetween. I think you have to be ambitious because 5 years is a long time and the fight against Climate Change cannot wait i mean its not waiting for politics to move either we change in a positive way or its going to be very bad for our planet the van bad for us same goes actually for digitalisation to have the rest of the world will not wait for europe so we better step up in digitalization and i think its worse to put Ambitious Goals because my experience many many years in politics is that the your goals are the more you fight for getting along so the real question is how are you going to get it done europe is divided this European Parliament right here is divided even france and germany dont get along at the moment so how are you actually going to get things done it was so important today to have this majority and actually it was a vast majority of almost 2 thirds that shows that on a positive agenda. This parliament has a constructive majority they want to move things forward and this is very good for a start what about the leaders though i mean france and germany are not getting along at the moment how are you going to get everybody on the same page i have a different view for example i was supported by every head of state or government and i think its normal that you have different views on topics this is democracy you have to discuss it but then you have to find solutions and step forward and if i look at the long lines in europe i think theres a lot we can be proud of so of course there are challenges ahead of us but keeping in mind that this European Union with all its diversity is a very successful model we should keep on going good luck was on the line thank you very much. I think coming european Commission President or sort of on the line speaking with max hoffman in strasbourg. Now the Iranian Regime has given its official reaction to last weeks antigovernment demonstrations reports are released on wednesday spoke of 8200000 protesters 7000 arrests and more than 700 banks burned Supreme LeaderAyatollah Ali Khamenei blamed the unrest on a u. S. Conspiracy. To me it was a deep extensive and very dangerous conspiracy that cost them so much money and effort that. They wanted to use the opportunity to carry out this movement which was an act of destruction arson murder and vandalism under the pretext of a rise in fuel prices they thought they had found the opportunity and brought their troops to the field this move was destroyed by the people. Lets get more on this from professor natasha lenz that was a political scientist from the university of essex in cultures that she has a particular interest in beliefs politics welcome to d. W. Professor we just heard irans Supreme Leader blaming the unrest on the United States the Intelligence Ministry also says theyve arrested at least 8 people with connections to the cia and these claims credible. Well thats a pretty common response from the iranians whenever there is some sort of unrest or some sort of issue its common that the Iranian Regime wants to place blame elsewhere and good biggest target would always be the west u. S. Of course is responsible for remaining from Iran Nuclear Agreement and theyve been able to place blame on the u. S. For decades now since the revolution that because of the economic hardships that are taking place are because of the u. S. You know its possible that the u. S. Intelligence is trying to undermine the Iranian Regime that that is definitely something that the u. S. Intelligence has been working on but in this particular set of protests that we have no evidence to tie just the cia to whats taking place and theres some figures released today by the governments 200000 people taking part in the protests which sounds like a lot how does that compare to previous demonstrations in the last 40 years of the publics existence. Well in the last decade or so theres been a series of protests that are taking place in iran notably the 2009 Green Movement which had about half of that many people protesting and then a year or 2 ago in 20172018 there was a series of protests that took place they had in the 10s of thousands its not that easy to get Accurate Information about how many people actually came out to protest but what it looks like is this series of protests which is for the most part leaderless and being led by. Or more involving the poor people and not the middle classes that were involved in the protests in 2009 that this is a pretty significant protest and in all of these other protests that i mentioned they tended to last about 7 or 8 months and led to a death toll between 25 and 70 individuals so i think we can look to months and months ahead of more and more protests and the amount of people in ball team to be more significant than in years past really you think this will continue to escalate. You know i do because if you look what happened in the past the protests were well on for months and months and its not always that we get Media Coverage of how long these protests are taking place but i dont see them ending peacefully anytime soon i think the regime is going to try to respond by and lowering oil prices which seems to be driving the protests. But there are series of grievances that are driving this besides just the rise in prices because you have up to 40 Percent Inflation 12 percent unemployment negative growth rates and its hit the middle class is really hard but its definitely the inflation and these sort of subpar efforts to try to help the poor with some sort of handout. Thats not really working all of these factors the Iranian Regime has and effectively dealt with and that means these protests are probably going to go on for quite a long time so regardless of the level of direct or in direct involvement washington is going to be looking at this and rubbing their hands with glee this is what they want to present. When they think that this is a win i think they misunderstand the commitment of the Iranian Regime to their ideology to staying in power at all costs i think they completely dont understand the fact that the Security Apparatus the revolutionary guards has a great deal of control is willing to use force has no qualms about doing repressing people and is it really worried about what the International Consensus is on these human rights abuses that are going to take place i think the u. S. Does feel that they have a win here with these protests taking place this is evidence that the regime is incredibly unpopular but i think were very very unlikely to see regime change any time soon which is what the u. S. Is hoping for and this is about the regime or is it about the consequences of americas sanctions against iran after it pulled out of the nuclear deal. Well thats one of the Big Questions and i think that the u. S. Is hoping that the people of iran believe that their regime is responsible for all of their problems and that regime change is needed and to to have any kind of change i think that there are many iranians that believe the problem is the regime but its hard to get Accurate Information on this because its hard to survey People Living in authoritarian regime i dont see the Iranian Regime is particularly legitime it there are been just protests after protests and this is under a situation of high levels of repression thats why theyve had to close down the internet which they do all kinds of chaos for business. So the regime is the problem that the sanctions hasnt helped and may not be that easy for people to distinguish between these particular problems but they would claim they would probably place blame on both the regime and the u. S. Actions in dealing with it which is very clear thank you for that the professor and the tasha lynn step from the university of essex.

Twitter has announced that it will begin deleting accounts that have been inactive for more than 6 months the company has been emailing news is telling them that if they want to keep that alive to log on before december the 11th or their counts will be deleted the company hasnt said how many times it expects to be affected by the decision and its expected to be in the millions. To do music i mean se for can tell welcome that i mean why is twitter doing this well the justification is about the Privacy Policy so they are saying that if twitter users havent been active in the last 6 months that means they havent offered into the new privacy rules so they should be able to use the platform but theyve also given other explanations for why theyre doing this one of them is credibility so when you go on twitter and you see somebody with 10000 followers you think this person is important well thought of those followers are interactive and twitter saying thats not credible and they want to make sure that you know that this person is being followed by active users another issue though is hacking and thats because its a lot easier to hack an inactive account because an inactive account means that the person isnt checking regulated to see if theyve been hacked and hackers can use this account to their to their ends a lot easier so for example Islamic State the terrorist group known as Islamic State has been using an active accounts to spread messages sometimes these accounts of a lot of followers to. Use reactor well theres been Major Concerns that this is affecting accounts that are in the Public Interest and also accounts of dead people people have passed away and whose families want to keep this legacy socalled digital legacy so theyre. Take a look at what some people are saying on twitter we have a user here luca hammer who says it makes me said that twitter is going to remove accounts that werent active in 6 months i would prefer them to archive those accounts release the username but keep the tweets i sometimes visit profiles to remember deceased friends so you can see for him its a personal issues he wants to to maintain access to these accounts of deceased friends but theres also the issue of public profiles for example barack obama when he left office you also left a twitter account that he doesnt tweet from anymore luckily this is been archived by the National Archives but some public persona some public figures arent so lucky to have somebody looking out for their defunct twitter accounts and that could just be thrown into the way its been so as they dont push back against this theres been at least one initiative to archive the tweets of deceased people so theres a guy named jason scott he calls himself an internet archivist and he started a project called twittering dead so he has a website where you can register users who are in active deceased relatives friends or whatever and you can have their tweets archived this is just a drop in the bucket really have to opt into that but hes one of a
