The weather long clear spells across England and Wales haven't planned in the north some rain for northern Ireland and Scotland into Wednesday sunny spells a pretty room for England and Wales with the risk of showers. With Sherri rain pushing east through the day. And this afternoon I'm spending time with one of the most powerful women on Earth it's an American. General. Foundation she has seen more than $50000000000.00. But she's on a mission to change the way the world treats women I believe to be anything we want to be and society I will be joined by an audience of women the inspirational stories our young women is a. Fantasy that's me. Today from one. This is. Coming up in this of the program who is the new A You commissioner now I know. But who is she really and what difference will her. Business with is she someone can do business with also what difference does it make to American president and his supporters of the House of Representatives as the presidents go back to where you come from comments will give the week's news from Rumania where a matter of conscience has to go and yes Game of Thrones friends probably odd surprise for the rest of us surely How on earth did this series managed to get a. Nomination in the. Book did nobody else make a T.V. Series in the entire year was. He told me. Well be. Conservative party chooses its prime minister to take them through the remainder of the Briggs's process change at the top in Brussels. Members of the European Parliament now do you lead today live or delay in the 1st woman to the European Commission to take over whom John told you the 31st of all tell you but you know that date again that's the day Boris Johnson said he will take breaks it out of Europe if he becomes prime minister obviously can to pull in bulk who's a friends do French journalist based in Brussels I'll say what we know about a delay in both talks she is the 1st woman to be president of the European Commission She's a German politician and she was actually blown and Brussels where she's obviously is an alderman to say that she was the perfect candidate as good a job she she came to politics quite late in life I think when she was in her forty's she's had quote fullest and she also had 7 children but now she is succeeding to Junko Gionta as the new president of the European Commission she's been elected she's been basically confirmed to she was nominated she was named as the next president by the E.U. Council made up leaders of the various the member states that was a few weeks ago and she's been confirmed today and a vote in parliament because they need the parliament to now sitting and they've elected that without any enthusiasm really because she got about 51 percent of the fight so enough to be elected not enough really for it to be a victory that she will have to work on unconvincing the rest of the Parliaments basically that the commission is going to just be working with them but also try to convince them into what she wants to achieve will that really will that be a big issue with that have 1st tossed. As to when the halls of the party but that didn't really feel. As the European Commission the day is to be what's he going to need to do for us all she's going to have to work with them to some extent and to show that what she wants to Boston the future will be excepted by the parliament that said some of the specialist charity Marie said would not by the end did to confirm her she's from the P.P. The center right policy in Parliament said they will favor it is obviously and bring new Europe the liberals and call him and some of them have been quite critical of her but they've also mostly voted for her as a group so these are 2 very powerful groups the liberals P.P. Which she can mostly count on there will be rebels everytime but then mostly on her side it's the socialist especially the grains Q. Will have to convince because she's tried to go food to to work with them on various issues to make compromises basically she gave this big speech before the vote today and she talked about climate change for the Greens as she talked about migration as well but they said it was a day that they were really convinced that she actually had a vision on climate especially on migration as well but she's tried and I think she she might keep trying what she really wanted to I was to be confirmed and so she tried to. Appeal to everyone which is not easy but she she's shown signs of wanting at least to to work with everyone that said she would be able to make compromises for everyone all the time so it does seem like she will have to convince at least some of the Socialists to some of the Greens depending on the issue that will be voted on in the future that she's worked. With them on these issues that's what I was just going to mention back that actually because there was some trouble that with practice he actually believed. He had all the time today when she was speaking because she was saying that she was I think extending the Ucas membership of the E.U. After the end of the trade that when it's based huge and on the case but to leave that didn't go down well with banks it is specially Nigel frosh who actually keys of wanting to build and I'm quoting a centralized and democracy take a take full of communism one nation state parliament will cease to have any relevance that's all they don't want to be some some critics that will be some some fights really especially on the right on the far right and all the nationalist loyalists didn't pardon she will have people guys with them as well. Any credence to what Nigel Farage had to say is she a century's for example a once a federalist Europe. What do we know about her vision for the European Union and was she will bring to the road so she's given a long speech today in parliament in which she explained to some extent what she wanted to once again she did say that she that she was definitely open to takes pension and I think that's also really what fraud and others are the nationalists didn't really like but her vision as socialist and the Greens mentioned is still vague on some points we we know that she's very probing great thing we know that she's out and it's been on but she knew also that I've been to stylize basically within the E.U. And also with the U.K. If it leaks if it decides that it will stay longer but it's still vague for now so we'll have to see what she decides and also you she's going to name because now. The next commission is going to have to be named and that is a lot of new commission is coming in who will help implement a vision so where is she says will have to be implemented in nomination and then in the 1st approach for the next commission which will be appointed by November as the French journalist Pauline book the final series of Game of Thrones has received a record breaking $32.00 nominations at the new American T.V. Awards the Emmys it sets a new record for most nominations given to any show in a single year they would ceremony will take place in September in Los Angeles and Stayman Jen is K.J. Matthews joins me from Elena K.J. Look let's start with the obvious this is a record breaking level of nominations of the series Game of Thrones become a given killing yet 32 nominations so you know of course the cast the crew everybody associated with this huge H.B.O. Show is thrilled because they finally can say look we did something you know so many people who are just fans are fanatics of the show were so disappointed with the way that in it I'm sure you remember all the people on Twitter. And there was even this this boulder people wanted to vote of whether or not they should bring back a whole new cast of white or to rewrite the Indy I don't know if you recall that but there was just a lot of hubbub so to see them walk away with 32 nominations for him you know awards I'm sure is satisfying for the cast and crew well 32 nominations it means that the dragon must have got one as well Oh absolutely and you know it really was just a a tie between H.B.O. And Netflix I mean H.B.O. Walked away with 137 Im a nomination H.B.O. And Netflix not too far behind in the streaming network took home 117 nominations so not bad not bad at all for a cable network and streaming network and of course. The broadcast networks in B.C. Walked away with 58 and C.B.S. 43 but you know as we get farther and farther up away from watching television on broadcast networks and so many people are finding their intertainment on mobile platforms and streaming networks and cable you know they're really dominating and it shows that in the in the nomination so the broadcast networks are really going to just kind of have to step up to the plate Karen if they've got the money but which of those broadcast it was has a kind of money the H.B.O. Has mellowed how much money never figs has a message thing with this is Game of Thrones whether you like the ending or not they spent a lot of money on getting this series done and you can you know money you get what you pay for but you know you're absolutely right about that there was an article written recently about the number of people that come through the Netflix lobby every single day they say are well over 200 people just simply pitching shows ideas documents or documentarians who are pitching their documentaries you have so many people that are coming there why because they want to piece of that 1000000000 dollar pot So Netflix is definitely attracting the best of the best and it does you're absolutely right it does make it very very hard for broadcast networks to compete with that the program is going to give you woods to in Game of Thrones you could argue several people the best male lead several people of the best female lead several people of the best supporting actor says hey you know you go no no no . It's a very very very hard to see you know who you would you would give it to I mean Lena Headley really earned her her 5th nomination for Outstanding Supporting Actress obviously people just love her you know and there are other people who are nominate as well so if you turn or Macy Williams will in a Christy are also nominated for it as well so it will be interesting to see who they decide but I'll tell you something else it's that out of the show shit's creek . Is nominated finally. And there is no need to tell us who's going to get a full drum Biba as a good run again apologies are going yes no no it's billed as C. H. I T. T. Apostrophe S. It was out. As I know people are thrown off by it no no it's pronounced as it's a prelude it's a cost spends a popular show it is but a very popular show out is to go flogged for the school you be my disease to flog peoples whether it was. You know there's an army they're starting to call it by its name here on bright television I think people are easing up over over the name but it's finally got some RINGBACK traction and some love at the from the Emmys and now finally going into its 5th season it's been nominee and it's surprising because it's on a. Cable Network or that doesn't really get a lot of attention so I think people were just really stunned kind of came out of left field like how they were nominated I think some of the regulars people weren't surprised about. You know when they see us the Central Park 5 documentary or our story about the Central Park 5 teenagers they were wrongly accused of raping a Central Park jogger that received a lot of surprisingly beyond say was nominated for her Netflix documentary when she was at Coachella she turned it into a concert and it was nominated as well surprisingly Robin Wright of House of Cards was also nominated I think a lot of people turned away from House of Cards you know after the whole Kevin Spacey debacle I think a lot of the people from House of Cards felt like oh will never probably be nominated because of the Kevin Spacey debacle but not true not true at all it was she was nominated in House of Cards is receiving some love so that was a little bit surprising one big snow that stood out though I will say is Julia Roberts she was not nominated for homecoming at all. The. You do expect his her because she hasn't been on the big screen for whoa you know Dr right there started to give a lot a lot to the shows that maybe are new and people are just kind of finding their their way to them what not I mean people love that there's so much competition and it's great for T.V. Fanatics like myself I'm sure T.V. Fanatic as well not so good for the broadcast networks that have always rely on those old tried and true stories that they've been able to just kind of pump out in very series and installations is not getting the same love that it used to I think like a decade ago and arguably there is with a generational shift in there because once upon a time the Emmys was the domain of this stablish mint and by that I mean generally the older establishment benighted seems that when you talk of the online presence of television net figs and otherwise it is a younger person's domain Yeah you know the the the asylum has been taken over by youth Yes absolutely and they're going to have to get used to it that's just the way it is I mean streaming networks O.T.C. Platforms mobile platforms they're here to stay and people are making excellent content in those mediums and so people are going to have to recognize that in the just I mean people just aren't going home cooking dinner and then sitting in front of television watching broadcast network until it's time for them to go to bed that's just not the way things are happening anymore I just wish my daughter wouldn't keep telling me that but thank you A.J. That's been a pleasure is no law few minutes and miles and no control of that remote control and I you know maybe that's the way should be K.J. Many things thank you so much pleasure K.J. Matthews the entertainment journalist and let's find out what's making the stories in this morning's Daily Express now with his night editor Michael booka the big headline this morning is from Tim Helen Mirren the government to restore free T.V. Licenses for all. Over 70 five's and she's called the end of the benefit heartbreaking now what it is is her and a number of other celebrities including salinity Henry Amanda Redmond the actress and Gogglebox star Jean burn a cough join together to write a letter that's been organized by age U.K. Asking the government to send whoever is the next prime minister Jeremy Hunt or Boris Johnson to make the pledge to restore it not handed back over to the B.B.C. a Make them fund it but actually the government take responsibility again and in this letter Dame Helen says it's absolutely heartbreaking that so many older people are going to lose their free license when television play such an important role in their lives I would urge all those involved including the government to do the right thing and carry on funding for licenses for all over 70 five's and as I mentioned Gogglebox star June Bernie cause she's 81 and she was widowed last year and she says for many older people T.V. Is their only company in the evenings it's a lifeline that keeps them involved so the letter I said been signed by 20 celebrity says we collectively it's the next PM whoever that may be to save the free T.V. Licenses and that responsibility should never have been handed over to the B.B.C. In the 1st place so it's a very strong letter from a very big names to be interesting to see what the next prime minister does about it because educated themselves said it had around $36000.00 letters which they're also going to be delivering to the Conservative Party heads Q Asking the hopefuls to reconsider their decision and hand responsibility for the funding to the B.B.C. And get it back in the government's hands interest in the aiming their protests to the government rather than the B.B.C. So far so who 1st stage if you like of reaction to these graphing of the free T.V. License rule some drive year olds and above that. 1st stage was just an attack on the B.B.C. Oh this is concentrated on the B.B.C. Here it's going somewhere else do you think this is part of a strategy but it's the B.B.C. Getting its argument down to No Well I think educable quite quick on this in the 1st place to say that it was quite unfair to put it on the B.B.C. In I think there was from the other side a lot of people who've accused the B.B.C. Of you know the money elsewhere which is they see as a way such as salar
