Who uncovers the practice. Im sumi so much going to thank you for joining us lawmakers in the European Parliament have chosen their new president for the next 2 and a half years they elected and italian social democrat holy who has been a member of the parliament for a decade now the vote in strasbourg completes a lengthy process of selling the used top jobs you leaders have already nominated candidates for for other posts their pick for commission chief is germanys defense minister was the last on the line now the European Parliament has to ratify her appointment but that is not a done deal. Lets bring in a man he has incest burgo where the European Parliament has been meeting today how max there has been some strong opposition to the line becoming a Commission President what are lawmakers there telling you. Those are no fun and i and is already here and step one for her is to convince her own party why is that because that party had a different lead candidate so the guy thats been campaigning for the european elections for months actually since last september and whats of a sudden hes not the one whos supposed to become the president of the European Commission but theres this new woman flying in from berlin so you can imagine that some members of the European Peoples Party at the conservative party are skeptical about fund but i asked one of their senior members the Vice President of the e. P. P. David mcallister if he does think that was a tough on dion will be elected in 2 weeks time when her nomination is put to a vote here in the European Parliament. Well shit if we have to well have my vote but im one out of 751 it really depends now if she can get the support of the european people spotted her social democrats for liberals and the greens i think and she well i think we should really give on the line a fair chance those who knew it was an affront and i know shes a convinced european and shes a convincing european she has a huge expertise and obviously she was for 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 her plans what does he goes on to fund and i 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. Colleagues should take a decision if we want to vote for or not i dont know why some colleagues already refusing to vote without even having spoken listen to. Right back so she certainly has david mcallisters vote and it looks like a she will be there today to try to get other conservatives to rally around her as well but what about where there is more dissent among the greens on the social democrats tend to get then to vote for her to. The European Peoples Party is definitely the easy part in all this but it was a lot of fun to lie and it will be much tougher with the greens they havent categorically close the door we interviewed one of the senior members of the greens earlier philip numbers and he said it all depends on what she proposes for example on Climate Change or fighting Climate Change rather very difficult though will be the social democrats because they are still disappointed their lead candidate for instance to months didnt make the nomination for the Commission Presidency for several days it looked like he would win that race even im going to makeover the german chancellor had proposed to him but that it went all downhill and thats why this compromise if you want to call it that was on the line came out it appears that it was enough underlined will not try to convince the social democrats today neither the greens she will probably return to brussels next week to continue her tour through the different political groups of the European Parliament trying to convince them trying to get the votes necessary to have a majority here at this very spot in 2 weeks time. With the very latest for us there in stress back thank you. Well it was less on the lines nomination has proved controversial here in germany as well the junior partner in governing coalition the social democrats say they do not support her being named president of the European Commission others say her nomination is a sign that european democracy is not working properly. A friendly welcome for the laugh on the line at the meeting of the German Cabinet in berlin the defense minister and conservative politician could become the next head of that you commission a success for her 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 and 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 fulfilled this is a moment in the stuff to 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. C. P. Party has treated her nomination with skepticism and yet. All of a sudden. Microgram that 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 as if i think shes capable of doing that. Actually for the older generation the way european democracies transit is somehow disappointing. She hasnt done a good job. As defense minister of the doc i doubt shell maintain order and russell says talked with so i. Decided to put a compromise im sorry found because francis im happy with the alternative. And found a lion seems to be a candidate that many can do business with. Because the few dollars. In dns the European Parliament will decide whether funded line gets to use topped up and moved from berlin to brussels is still far from certain. The United Nations says an airstrike on a Migrant Center in libya that killed at least 44 people amounts to a war crime more than 130 were wounded in the attack in the capital tripoli the carnage is being blamed on warlord Khalifa Haftar his forces are advancing on the city putting together the pieces this woman once dreamed of a better life she couldnt have imagined shed end up here in a shattered Migration Center surrounded by the dead and these are the lucky ones the survivors of last nights bombing although 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 is one. Is required just because you didnt do was to go have been a problem and. It happened literally in the dead of night fired a plane that dropped a bomb on a center field with hundreds of people. Amidst the chaos people began recovering bodies they have a death toll as grim as it was predictable. Some people. On the group one day are we were on the. To do blow even before last night the center to jury in a suburb of tripoli had been a disaster in the making and now the bomb landed me by in my Rights Group Amnesty International said khalifa hof his forces carried out the attack as they moved on tripoli the migrants into jura are among 3 and a half 1000 the un has 100 Detention Centers located nearly be as battlefront. Weeks ago migrants at a different center protested an increasingly dangerous situation. And 2 out of no where else to seek election to last year and the fronts of the same so we need a vocation now. I didnt you know we need to shoot since then the fighting in libya has only escalated its a country on your store step through which those who want to go have long passed and by 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 you n. H. L. 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 detainee and no action was taken since we made that call and sadly people have paid the price with their life loss like 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 there are various factions fighting at the morning at the moment rather should be should the European Union really be working with the libyan coast guards to intercept migrants and send them back to these Holding Centers if theyre not safe. And 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 detention senses have themselves fledged war and violence and persecution in their home countries that 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. 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 Charlie Yaxley u. N. H. C. R. Spokesperson for libya thank you very much. Now to some other stories making headlines around the world the german captain of a migrant rescue ship sea watched as moved to a secret location because of security concerns cole attack it was released from house arrest tuesday by an Italian Court shed been detained for taking her ship carrying 40 migrants into port on the italian island of lampedusa. Demonstrators burn tires and block roads across israel in protest after an off duty policeman shot dead and 18 year olds on armed Ethiopian Israeli on sunday activists say police systematically discriminate against israels ethiopian minority. And russia says details of a fire that killed 14 crewmembers on monday on a deepwater submersible will not be made public because it includes classified information now which in Authorities Say they believe the russian sub was Nuclear Powered but they told the w. They hadnt detected under usual levels of radioactivity is a ticking time bomb overcrowded migrant detention facilities in the u. S. State of texas where people are forced to sleep hundreds to a room on concrete floors even trapped in cages sometimes with nowhere to sit these photographs of raised concerns for the health and safety of detainees while theyre being processed but one shelter organizer in el paso says overcrowding isnt an issue i know that i keep hearing. B. P. Facility. And were not were not seeing you know. I dont believe. This footage secretly filmed by a u. S. Congressman has caused women of all ages crammed into a cell with no Running Water and just one toilet. But. Its these conditions that are sparked protests across the country like here in new york. Thing is going over the border is this preschool in the main has to stop now. And we want to. Avoid putting Young Children sleeping on concrete sleeping with oil blankets like this is not how we should be treating children its not how we should be treating people its not the country thats the busiest day for values for freedom for like pursuit of happiness and trump is running concentration camps at our border and i have to be here to protest that the Trump Administration has pushed back against criticism of its Migrant Centers arguing that its been forced to hold people in unsuitable facilities for much longer than the 72 hours normally allowed by law due to a lack of capacity leaving those continuing to arrive at the border with a longer wait in limbo. Now to india where raul gandhi has quit as head of the countrys Main Opposition Congress party taking the blame for its big loss and recent National Elections gandhi was looking to become a Prime Minister but his party was beaten for the 2nd time by a nationalist Prime Minister Narendra Modi after the loss of gandhi said that he would not continue as leader although Party Officials still hope to change his mind his Congress Party has dominated indian politics since independence in 1948 but that support has collapsed over the past decade. Didnt you correspondent standing by for us in delhi with the latest on the story. Why has the hogan the quit now. Well so many simply dollars on the is taking responsibility for the massive defeat that the Indian National congress has suffered in this National Election they went all out during the campaign bought this seat that it was barely a little bit more than the last time the last time in 2040 of the elections happened was the lowest value the congress has ever had this one is not much better in fact the numbers are not even Strong Enough to really lead the oppositions assault off of the results are gone he said im resigning a lot of pushback from the party was received by him this said no you cannot leave the house but he was insistent it took a good 5 or 6 weeks to do it its been well over a month since the results but now officially he has stepped down from the all suppressed what does this mean for the Congress Party and also for the government doesnt run the multi. Well for the Congress Party it has more for consequence it doesnt have as big an impact on the overall government because the seats held by the congress will still be the seats held about the by the congress the party precedent is kind of an interior position of that manner but of course the body president does decide the direction the party takes now the Indian National congress has been accused by the body of the more the one mr more this party of being a dynastic party he is the grandson of john her lead to the good grandson of jamal and there to the 1st Prime Minister of india the grandson of gandhi who was also Prime Minister his father was also Prime Minister so this is a clear trend of the gandhi dynasty through the spark the only twice before have non gone hes been at the helm of this party both stones were not considered a successful once again the concede the possibility is is that there will be an ongoing the
