    Ursula von der Leyen: First woman to hold EU's top job

    Former German defence minister is the new EU Commission president, after narrowly winning a parliament vote.



    Ursula von der Leyen has been elected into the EU's top job by a narrow margin after vowing to address climate change.

    The 60-year-old former defence minister of Germany secured a majority in the Strasbourg-based assembly by just nine votes during Tuesday's secret ballot to replace Jean-Claude Juncker as president of the European Commission.

    "The trust you placed in me is confidence you placed in Europe. Your confidence in a united and strong Europe, from east to west, from south to north," von der Leyen said in a brief speech following the vote. "It's a big responsibility and my work starts now... Let us work together constructively because the endeavour is a united and strong Europe."

    I know very little about her as yet- except that she has verified that the Brexit deal with the UK will not be reopened.
