Germany's Ursula von der Leyen has been appointed as the European Commission's First Female President. She was backed by more than half of the European Parliament members in a secret ballot. She won the support of 383 MEPs and said-"It is a big responsibility, and my work starts now; let us work together, constructively." Leyen said she would be open to Brexit being delayed further “for a good reason”.
