Battle it out for a place in the womens World Cup Final the match was full of tension and drama all right to the end well go to leon for the highlights. Im serious oh my god its great to have you with us lawmakers in the European Parliament have chosen their new president for the next 2 and a half years they elected italian social democrat david saucily who has been a member of the parliament for a decade the vote in strasbourg completes the e. U. s a lengthy process of appointing new people to the top jobs you leaders have already nominated candidates for for other posts their pick for commission chief is germanys defense minister was enough on the line that the European Parliament has to ratify her appointment and it is not certain that it will. Be used max Health Minister ending by and by the European Parliament has been meeting today max there is a strong opposition there are 2 or is it us on the line as Commission President what are any peace telling you. Her 1st task and probably not the most difficult task is to convince her own party that she is the right woman to lead the European Commission so she is expected to come here strasburg where the seat of the European Parliament is this afternoon and shes only going to talk to our understanding at least with the e. P. Thats the European Peoples Party so the conservatives whats the difficulty here well the difficulty is that the e. P. T. Had another official candidate and that was not also enough on the line it was monthly it be about the socalled spits in the candidate the guy who did all the campaign but as the lead candidate of the Strongest Party to become the president of the European Commission as we all know it didnt happen this way so now theres a learning process involved for this party for the e p p and i talked to their Vice President David Mcallister and i put those questions straight forward to him does he think. Well be approved by the European Parliament in 2 weeks time. Should it have that will have my vote but im one out of 751 it really depends now if she can get the support of the european people spotting a social democrats for liberals and the greens i think and she well i think we should really give us on the line a fair chance those who know it was in the front and i know shes a convinced european and shes a convincing european she has a huge expertise and obviously she was a compromise candidate where many governments from west to east and europe could rally behind her and say ok shes the woman it would also be the 1st woman in the history of the European Union to be at the top of the European Commission so we should give it a chance and we should talk about have plans what does he listen to fund and plan to do as a Commission President with a team the next 5 years and on the basis of this debate. On content m. E. P. Call it should take a decision if we want to vote floor or not i dont know why some colleagues already refusing to vote without even having spoken listen to. Our in mexico a very clear message from David Mcallister there we should give was a law funded line a chance and shes visiting as you said the European Parliament that this afternoon even if she is able to rally her conservatives around her what are her chances of getting her opponents on board so the greens and the socialists. Especially the social democrats and socialists are going to be a very tough nut to crack because they had high hopes that they would provide the Commission President and it was looking good for them for 2 or 3 days there last week their lead candidate funds to moments really seem to be in the lead for that position even im going to medical had laid out a plan with him at the top of the you commission but we know in the end it came their family but of course this disappointment is still palpable right here in strasbourg and if they come around it will take them a long time to come around having said that they are part of that package deal that was struck in brussels on tuesday and i can only say this there are also leaders in the European Union heads of government that were present in brussels when that deal was struck that are members of the European Socialist Party so there must have been some contact and somebody among the social democrats must have said yes we think we can make that deal fly even if its difficult so a lot of things can happen in 2 weeks time right now a strong opposition among the social democrats but they might come around in the end. Press and stressed very good to talk to you as always. That was enough an alliance nomination as proved controversial here in germany as well of the junior partner and coalition the social democrats say they do not support her being named as president of the European Commission author say her point shows that your european democracy is not working properly. A friendly welcome for the laugh on the line at the meeting after German Cabinet in berlin the defense minister and conservative politician could become the next head of the e. U. Commission a success well have Party Colleague chancellor Angela Merkel but fundal line is facing resistance from within germanys governing coalition the social democrats are not backing her. The. Democrats want to strengthen the European Parliament and democracy as part of the european political groupings chose lead candidates for the post of Commission President those candidates were ignored so our goal of strengthening democracy was not to fulfill this moment in the. Fund our line was not one of the lead candidates at the european elections in my back home shes facing a parliamentary inquiry looking into irregularities at a Defense Ministry thats one reason why the business friendly f. T. P. Party has treated her nomination with skepticism and yet. All of a sudden. About how microgram it she has only been involved in european politics as a german minister. Comes as quite a surprise. As in germanys Political Parties reactions on the streets of berlin were mixed. If i think shes capable of doing the job. For the older generation is the way european democracies transit is somehow disappointing. She hasnt done a good job. Defense minister of the dock i doubt shell maintain order in brussels since oct with so i. Decided to put a compromise im sorry found because friends are happy with the alternative. And found out i am seems to be a candidate that many can do business with. The few dollars. In dns the European Parliament will decide whether fundal line gets to the top job and move from berlin to brussels is still far from certain. Now the United Nations says at least 44 people have been killed in an air strike on a Migrant Detention Center outside the libyan capital tripoli more than 130 people were wounded now libyas conservative by many to be a failed state in north africa its also a transit region for migrants heading to europe now the micro Detention Center that was bombed is located in just the east of tripoli a 2 governments have been fighting for the city and its surroundings in recent months one is led by. And has been trying to capture the capital from a weaker rival that rival the socalled government of National Accord led by. This government enjoys broader International Backing the u. N. Says it is too early to assign blame but have to us forces announced on tuesday night they were bombing the district where the Migrant Center is located. Putting together the pieces this woman one strength of a better life she couldnt have imagined shed end up here in the shattered Migration Center surrounded by the dead and these are the lucky ones the survivors of last nights bombing they have little to speak of and even now they caught between warring armies far from their homes whether they be in sedan or somalia. Paul what we know this was once you were. Told to record this because you didnt do was go have any problem and. It happened literally in the dead of night 5 plane that dropped a bomb on a center field with hundreds of people. Amidst the chaos people began recovering bodies the heavy death toll as grim as it was predictable. Some people. On the group we were on the on something. To do blow even before last night the center to joy in a suburb of tripoli had been a disaster in the miking and now the bomb landed nearby and my Rights Group Amnesty International said Khalifa Haftar its forces carried out the attack as they moved on tripoli the migrants in jura are among 3 and a half 1000 the un has warned are in Detention Center is located near libyas battlefront. Weeks ago migrants at a different center protested an increasingly dangerous situation. And 2 out of no where else to seek elation at the last year and the fronts of lane so we need a vocation not. Our gentilly we need enough issues since then the fighting in libya has only escalated its a country on europe store step through which those who want to go have long passed and for half a decade it has been as broken as the jury Detention Center is to die. And we can speak to Charlie Yaxley u. N. H. C. R. Spokesperson for libya charlie thank you for joining us do you have any more information on what is happening now at this Migrant Center in tripoli. Well currently a rescue operation is underway and we know the least 40 people have died in last nights airstrikes dozens more injured and the death toll is in fact likely to reach even higher as that rescue operation goes on u. N. H. C. R. Teams on the ground and off staff are providing aid and medical care to the survivors and they tell us to survive as a rule deeply traumatized by whats happened fearful what could have happened to them i mean the thing is this was something that was easily predictable just 2 months ago you and came out calling for this Detention Center to be evacuated after a similar airstrike hit a roof injuring 2 of the detainees and no action was taken since we made that call and sadly people have paid the price with their life last night this was a horrific attack charlie libya we should say is not only a transit country it is also a failed state thats why you have issued those warnings are various factions fighting at the morning at the moment rather should be should the European Union really be working with the libyan coast guard so interest that migrants and send them back to these Holding Centers if theyre not safe. There has to be a change in approach now the status quo cannot continue i mean 1st of all we now need to be evacuated all the people who remain in Detention Centers there are still thousands in Detention Centers including in tripoli right now who are similar risks to the people who are who suffered last night we need states to come forward and help us evacuate people refugees out of the country but really the approach to the mediterranean is key here one of the problems weve had in the last 2 months is that new people are being brought to the Detention Centers after being intercepted by the coast guard faster than we can get them out we need a shift in approach that sees no refugee or migrant rescued on the mediterranean return to libya there is no port in libya they can be considered safe for rescued refugees and migrants at this time and charlie tell us more about the people who are affected here who are these migrants and where are they coming from. I mean thats part of the tragedy here many of these people who are being detained in appalling conditions inside these attentions and says have themselves fledged war and violence and persecution in their home countries the theyve traveled through Subsaharan Africa after falling prey to the smuggling and Trafficking Networks there we hear reports of smugglers and traffic is committing a range of abuses including beatings kidnap selling people as slaves by the time people reach libya theyre already deeply traumatized and with val since april violence having escalated throughout tripoli its no surprise that people were desperately trying to flee this situation only to be brought back and killed by the very same violence they were trying to escape from and charlie lets come back to this strike the u. N. Is blaming the troops general Khalifa Haftar one of the factions that we said is a warring at the moment how did you come to the conclusion that they might be behind this and what would be in it for a heart to strike refugee camp well. Ourselves a mandate is to work with refugees in libya were not able to independently verify exactly who carried out the air strike what we can say for sure is that these coordinates of the Detention Centers the exact location is shared with the warring parties there now needs to be a full and thorough investigation the individuals responsible for this attack need to be identified and they need to be fully held to account for this there needs to be consequences so this does not happen again all right Charlie Yaxley u. N. H. C. R. Spokesperson for libya thank you very much.
