With more on this afternoon I'm spending time with one of the most powerful women on earth indicates it's an American flag the former general manager at Microsoft the foundation she runs has seen more than 50000000000 dollars to good causes but she's on a mission to change the way the world treats women I believe we're allowed to be anything we want to be in society I will be joined by an audience of women the inspirational stories about how empowering women is a vital to the future of humanity that's me with Melinda Gates today from one B.B.C. Radio. This is. The program who is the. No no. But who is she really what difference will her. Business with. Business with also what difference does it make to American president. Of the House of Representatives the president go back to where you come from. News from Rumania where a matter of conscience has turned political and yes Game of Thrones friends probably odd surprise but the rest of us are surely How on earth did this series manage to get a record 2 nominations in the prestigious Emmys I mean what did nobody else make a T.V. Series in the entire year was. The tell me. The Conservative Party chooses its prime minister to take them through the remainder of the Braggs a process it's all change at the top in Brussels. Members of the European Parliament now really led today's one delay in as the 1st woman to lead the European Commission she will take over from John for you on the 31st a vote that date again that's the day but it is Johnson said he would say Britain out of Europe if he becomes Prime Minister I've been speaking to Pauline book who's a friends do French journalist based in Brussels Aus what we know about the Lane talks she is the 1st woman to be president of the European Commission she's that politician and she was actually born and bustle which she's obviously is an argument she said that she was the perfect candidate is. She she came to politics quite late in life I think because she was a 40 she had quote full of school and she had 7 children but now she is receiving choose an excellent young girl as the new president of the European Commission she's been elected she's been basically confirmed to she was nominated she was named the next president by the E.U. Council made of leaders of the various E.U. Member states that was a few weeks ago and she's been consumption day and a vote to. Parliament the new parliament is now sitting and they've elected without any entity isn't 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 to work on unconvincing the rest of the Parliaments basically that commission is going to. Be working with them that also try to convince them into what she wants to achieve Well that will that be a big issue with the have taught school bus to win the halls of the party but it didn't really feel. As the European Commission the day is to be what she didn't need to do 1st well 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 socialist charitably said they would not fight in the end did confirm her she's from the P.P.P. The center right policy in parliament they will say voice is obviously the ring you 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 try to go for 2 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. 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 grains depending on the issue that will be voted on in the future that she's working 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 table when it's based huge and on the case but to leave and 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 democracy to update full of communism in one nation state parliament will cease to have any relevance that's all they don't want to be some some critics there will be some some fights really especially on the right on the far right and all the nationalist Gloria like in Poland she will have people guys with chemical. 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 some extent what she wanted to once again she did say that she that she was definitely open to take action and I think that's also really what. For Raj and all those other nationalists didn't really like that our vision as socialist on the greens mentioned is still very on some points we we know that she is very pro means a great thing we know that if she's open. That she is going to die alone basically within the one with or with the U.K. If it really is a good place that it was. But is still vague and out there will have to see what she decides and for 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. Where 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 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 statement Jen is K.J. Matthews joins me from Elena Kagan. We've the obvious this is a wreck who breaking level of nominations. 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 the real 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 a lot of hubbub so to see. Even walk away with 32 nominations for Emmy Awards I'm sure is satisfying for the cast and crew Well she's you know my nose is it means that the dragon must've 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 a 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 Charon if they've got the money but which of those broadcast it was has a kind of money the H.B.O. Has NO NO NO 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 is 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 $200.00 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 $1000000000.00 pie 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 the woods to in Game of Thrones you could argue several people of the best male lead several people of the best for you. Several people who have the best support says he 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 Christie were 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 was 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 prelude it's the apostrophe spends a popular show it is but a very popular show out is to go flog for the school you be my disease to flog peoples whether it was as. You know there's an army they're starting to call it by its name here on bright Yes television I think people are easing up over over the name but it's finally got some 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 POP T.V. 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. Right 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 it 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 food. You do expects is her because she hasn't been on the big screen for whoa you know Dr right there started to give a lot of love to these 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 relied 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 the generational shift has been 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 never figs and otherwise it is a younger person's domain 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 jest 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 he. Tell me that the thank you OK just. There's no law for matching miles or. No control of the remote control and I maybe that's the way it should be K.J. Many things thank you so much pleasure K.J. Matthews the entertainment journalist. Liz fry now was making the stories in this morning's Daily Express now with Ms Knight It is remarkable how the big headline this morning is from Tim Helen Mirren urging 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 is it her in a number of other celebrities including So let me hand ring 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 whoever is the next prime minister Jeremy Hunt or Boris Johnson to make the pledge to restore it not hand it back over to the B.B.C. And 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 $81.00 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 less 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 very big names to be interesting to see what the next prime minister does about. Because educate themselves said they've 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 interesting that they aiming their protests to the government rather than the B.B.C. So far the source who 1st stage if you like of reaction to the scrapping of the free T.V. License for all 75 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 it's the B.B.C. Getting its argument around to know well I think educable quite quick on this in the 1st place to say that it's 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 salaries to certain big name celebrities the B.B.C. Chairman's to David clemency he said that the suggestion that they could fund it by cutting the pay of stars was that the sums don't add up and I think there is I think this there is that Bank of people bank of people in government who have been seen as trying to attack the B.B.C. With this one but I think there is quite a few people out there in the public who realise that it was kind of given that they received were given a really bad decision to make here in the try to make the best of it and I know there is still 2 contenders for the 2 party leadership contests but if we must concentrate on Monday you know if Boris is minded to reconsider this strategy and I think so far things so far away said during the various hustings is that he kind of put it back into the on the baby say people I think with the strength of feeling that this seem to be building up. It doesn't look as though the B.B.C. Would be. Able to do it all clearly willing to do it so I think I think a lot of reasonable minded people out there are thinking that it is something the government need to so out rather than the baby sick and of course the government and. From treasonous prime minister will 1st of almost have to sort out break said this with a club as well yes we hope it will be 1st and foremost but let's face it it could be for years yet but now we've got some interesting new characters on the stage you know obviously big three's I'm a going to shuffle off one way and we've got young Claude young could go in the other way we've now got a new E.U. Head of the E.U. Commission that's live on delay and now she was void in yesterday and immediately managed to trigger outrage from city is by warning that she's ready to deliberate so even further now she was booed by bricks at party any pieces she signaled Prince departure from the E.U. Could run room beyond October 31st Halloween which Tory leadership front runner Boris Johnson has insisted he will not shift from but she was she started off trying to be friendly and she said we can't talk about Europe without talking about our friends from the U.K. And then she said the withdrawal agreement that was drawn up with reason manned Micio Michel Barnier and Mr Young she said that it provides certainty where bricks created uncertainty I stand ready for a further extension of the withdrawal date should more time be required for a good reason now breaks it Leader party leader Nigel for understandably because where he comes from wasn't very happy with this and he said in some ways I'm rather pleased because you've just made Prexy a lot more popular in the U.K. Thank God we're leaving but she hit back and said I think Mr Ferrars we can probably do without what you've got to say here so they're not making many friends over there the Brits that party but it's going to be very interesting to see how she deals with Mr Johnson or Mr Hunt I'm not in this to these stories but we are in some of. Missy's know me well we are but we seem to have been in some of the season s
