apply richardson, welcome. a labor landslide has swept the u. k. 's general elections, and 14 years of conservative rule care star will become the new prime minister. later today, he has promised a decade of national renewal, as he replaces receipts to knock who's conservative party suffered a decisive defeat at the polls. so knock has conceded calling the results. a sobering verdict, but also across the country. and we can hear a little bit of strong as victory speech from earlier this morning as well as so next concession. the nice people here around the country help us focus on the reggie for change to the politics of performance. a return to politics of public service, but change pickens right here because this is your democracy, your community,
10:02 am
as your future. you have folks here. it is now time for us to deliver. thank you very much. the labor policy has won this general election and i have coolants. okay, so i'm about to congratulate him on his victory today. power will change hands in a peaceful, an orderly manner with goodwill on all sides. that is something that should give us a little confidence in our country, stupidity and future. the british people have delivered a so bring product to noise. there is much to learn and reflect on and only take responsibility for the last. we've dw k corresponded beckett's mass reporting from downing street. she gave us her assessment of the scale of the defeats offered by prime minister. was she so next conservatives? yes, really? so not is preparing to order the removal at then and move out of dining street. and we will have in a few hours already we will have and you prime is the key has stomach is story
10:03 am
close for the conservative party off to 14 years. they have lost and that's the prediction. we don't have all the seeds just yet, but it's pretty sure that they will have those 2 sides around 2 sides of the seats . so that's the biggest last i've ever had in the history of the party and the conservative party is usually the part 2 of governments here in the united kingdom . one interesting not get that old for form of conservative from ministers of the recent 14 years have lost all those seats has been lost. so they went to label or, or the liberal democrats, the seats have tons. so that tells you really the mood in the country and to conservative and in this, that's a big story then from last night, or are these elections more about a big win for labor and it's leader to your stormer. i think it's really about the last for the conservative party through the vote that
10:04 am
the labor could increase the vote yet. it's actually you read the really small. we see that the conservatives really the last. they lost the labor and the democrats and labor, i think. and in that campaign, what you know saying that there is time for change, but they also have very, very castle to the a competitive with carrying a ming vase over an ice rink. so not to say anything to controversial that could sort of swing the mood in the country just to play very, very safe and in the way owns wait for the conservatives to destroy themselves. that's how i perceive this. forget thank you so much. stay with us. when i come back to you in just a moment, 1st, let's take a look at where things stand right now. the labor party has raised a past base 320 succeeds needed for an outright majority in the u. k. parliament and exit polls. suggestive soon ex conservatives will end up with only about $150.00 seats. the liberal democrats have also made significant gains. won't the
10:05 am
right wing populist reform u. k. party. also set to enter parliament the results were the dream come true to labor? early exit polls put them streets a huge and deliberate the tories a damning defeat. much to the delight of these london crowd as ballot and boxes with counted throughout the night. they consumed versus desist receipts due next and civil to policy in drugs. many flocking to cues, thomas labor policy, thomas, who used to be england's chief prosecutor, is now the prime minister in raising b c's. the next governments free is clear change, but now to return politics to
10:06 am
public service. show the politics can be a full speed. good. make no mistake, that is the great test, the politics in this era of the fight. but trust is the fact that defines all right, with the people with supporting labor or simply voting against and other tory 10, many welcome the new political landscape really lives on. i'm just happy to go rid of the tories, the selection. i'm so glad to see optimistic that we're going to have some competent governance moving forward. so that's what i hope to be the. i really want to see them. smiles myself and faces. color is quite good. through i'll just leave it indoors looking some process and i guess i would shop that reform. i think it is. i meant i feel like that's really the us,
10:07 am
the leader of the right wing populace reform policy. 9 for raj, one his parliamentary seat, his 8th attempt to be elected. it's not just disappointment with the cause of a deposit, and there was a massive gap publish sense of right of british politics a my job is to fit it. and that's exactly what i'm going to do well, where she's so neck retained his parliamentary seat. he is expected to resign as prime minister in the coming hours. the british people have delivered a so bring verdict tonight. there is much to learn and reflect on. and i take responsibility for the last as to the many goods, hardworking conservative candidates, the loss denied this point that time and efforts, the local records of delivery and the dedication to that communities. i am sorry, she has done a link to pay a visit to king charles where he will be invited to form a government kicking off
10:08 am
a new chapter. and you can you politics? let's go back across to our correspondence, buried as mass in london for more paragraphs. a new chapter in u. k. politics here. what is labor promising? and maybe more importantly, how are they planning to pay for? it keeps telling me i did not from is the revolution. he said, i'm here not as a candidates to be a cyclist director. i'm here. you're next to be a next prime minister and he wasn't promising anything crazy, but more is series of small or reforms such as planning reform. he wants to grow the economy. that's his biggest same the bridges economy has been stagnating, also in an international comparison. so he wants to grow the economy is reached out to businesses. he wants to set out a new industrial strategy, which was welcome also by business. however, how is that going to be quick enough to change things around?
10:09 am
british public service is a crumbling the health system is in a really dia, state, and bridge people we want to have some on says sooner rather than later. whereas hays plan is more how i see it's more of a long term plan. and the question is, can you turn things around in the next 5 years in order to, to, to have a 2nd tom, however, he will set this out. we're expecting him to take the center stage and the next 2 hours. and then it's up to him to really in series of british people. all right, we'll be waiting patiently for that moment. then a very good while i have you here, i'd like to take a look if we can add some results coming out from scotland and what they're going to mean the scottish national party, the s and p, they've taken a big hips. what can you tell us they have taken to be kids and that's really may need you to the terminal within their own policy. so nicholas village and she was the party anita. she was very popular,
10:10 am
she had to resign. so it looks at the moment as though the momentum for an independent scotland in scotland that then also wanted to rejoin the european union that this momentum for the moment is lost and the vases in scotland mainly the fact it's too late. but who were really very, very happy about the results of that in the north. fergus, thank you so much and stay dry. that is our correspondence berg at mass reporting from london. david mcallister, the member of germany's opposition conservative c d u party, and at the rookie and parliament where he has the foreign affairs committee, i asked him for a european union view of the election results. well, the british people have elected in the house of commons. the cable have a new government. i would like to congratulate you some of the labor of the for this impressive victory. i'm for the communion. this means that we are ready to engage with the united kingdom, which is a subculture,
10:11 am
about an important part for us. and i believe that we should use the selection result to build on the trust in progress. we had already made respondents to, to next couple of let's talk a little bit more about the case relations with europe. britain, of course has been out of the you since 2020 after breakfast. is there any indication that things will change with a labor government under prime minister to your storm, or in terms of your relations with london to let's close 1st. you can needs a new government on the needs to be continued to them, then we will wait and see what exactly the labor government will deliver. but we have a close look at the election manifesto of the labor party and there are some indications that they want to move things forward. but on the other hand, we have to be realistic labeled as not promise to return to your can union. they must not promise to join the single market or the customers union. it's about trying to improve relations on the basis of the trade and corporation agreement in
10:12 am
here. that's one example that i think we could quickly get a result. that is in case that you could government decides to return to the announcements plus program. this would be something i think you would be ready to engage just like did you k, under purposes to not mutual. and the rising program went up a point where they was outspoken during this campaign. this, they want to improve the coordination of the corporation with the european union on the front of says, defense and security. i think you're also that would be building this on the east side to reengage erasmus plus program. that's of course, a study abroad program for students within the you. does it seem likely from, from your perspective that labor would seek to rejoin that while the restless plus, the program you just mentioned is not limited to you member space, but countries are also included. so base would be something of course you the u. k . would have to pay you financial contributions to the cost,
10:13 am
but i think this could be something really positive to improve the situation of students and young professionals. they've also mentioned defense, of course. a big issue in europe is the bore and ukraine. london has been one of the of strongest allies. is it safe to say to your storm and will continue on? that course is this. uh, i think the position gauge meant for ukraine has been very impressive. we have seen 61st cooperation between the united states and britain on this matter of so many of the shows, but i think it was a mistake of the full that you click on that excluded form assessed security and defense matters from the initial negotiations for trade and cooperation agreement, and here i believe that a formalized corporation of these important matches between the u. k. and the you could be a way of an important step forward. and this is also what we read in the neighbor
10:14 am
manifesto. label manifesto spoke about a q a pretty cool geostrategic cooperation between the united king of the unit. so that's the way forward. well, thank you so much for sharing your insights with us today. that's number of the european parliament, david mcallister. we very much appreciate you taking the time to speak with us on these off and with me in the studio for more analysis of the okay, election results. we have dw alex for us whiting. uh alex. okay, let's get into the details here. um, if we can do tell us what else is going to be different under a labor government from what we've seen from 14 years of conservative pool. yeah, it's quite interesting that wasn't it that david mcallister was talking about the labor manifesto. and i think many people think that that neighbor manifesto has been very vague because that hasn't been a huge amount of detail about what exactly exactly labor does want to do. now that it is going to for the next government, what we do know is that they want to introduce $8600000000.00 pounds worth of tax
10:15 am
rises. so that's about 10000000000 years worth of tax wise is including sales tax on private school fees. if they want to do that, they want to target those people who went on doing this on. so very rich, but not living in the u. k. to try to get some money back. but the biggest problem for labor is that the public finances are in a terrible state. public services are in a terrible state and so they can have to make some hard choices, whether they're missing natural notes and they say they don't want to raise taxes. but at some point that is like you to either have to happen or they'd have to make will cost a public services which they will not want to do. yeah. how are they going to add to reckon with that divide, right? and so they're going to raise taxes, you said that's, that's in the manifesto. and that varies a little more programs you have to pay to pay for things. so for example, they want to increase the number of stuff working for the, for the health service. so the n h s because that's struggling, they need, they want more teachers. they want to also they, they want to set up a, a public key and energy company called great british energy to try to pull back and
10:16 am
as well. so they've got big plans, but they really don't have much money and much the way with, with how they going to do that and how they're going to tackle some of those major issues. yeah, health care, of course, was, was at the top of voters minds. we saw in polls as they were going out to vote. i want to talk to about another key moment we saw in the results from this election. when for the populist right wing leader nigel for raj and he's, he's claiming to kick started a quote, a revolt against the establishment. do you think he's going to be a thorn in the side of the new government? he, my son is going to be a phone in the side of conservatives, and he says that he now wants to take on labor. so that will be the new government . it's interesting with knowledge of, for us, this is his 8th attempt at trying to become an em pay. he's finally succeeded. he and his new policy did very well. i'm getting a lot of some folks, but because of a natural system in the u. k, they've only 14 seats. however, they will use them as much as they can. and i think it is going to be very
10:17 am
difficult for base labor and for the conservatives now, because he's not going to arrest, he's going to keep going. he's going to make sure that immigration, for example, is at the top of the agenda, whether the labor government wants that or not, that support people sent. it'd be focusing on, you know, he was alex as far as waiting. thank you so much for joining me in the studio to break that down to and we can bring you up to speed now with some other world news headlines. germany has given tesla permission to expand and electric vehicle factory outside for when that will allow you on most company to more than a triple. it's output at the giga factory. woodlands are going to be cleared for the project, which has faced stiff resistance from locals and environmental activists. mexico's and you get time peninsula is preparing for the arrival of hurricane barrel. as the storm regained, strength, the powerful hurricane has left a trail of destruction across the eastern caribbean. after coming down, it is now strengthening again with winds of about 190 kilometers per hour. and
10:18 am
media in brazil reporting that a former president valuable scenario has been indicted for money laundering, connection with undeclared diamonds, from saudi arabia to re worth 3 point. $2000000.00 was seized by customs in 2021 is on several legal cases. brought against us narrow and in a landmark decision is rails. a supreme court has ruled so that ultra orthodox jews must be conscripted into the military and annually 80 year long exemption was a popular decision in a country where almost every other jewish has greatly faces. the draft, but it is stoking tensions both in society and within the coalition government. you know, the, it's funny for char reports from jerusalem when you turn 18 in as well, you have to reports here. a conscription center military service is mandatory for most men and women in the country. most adults have to serve in the military for up to 30 months. there are various extensions like for ultra orthodox jews who do not
10:19 am
need to report here. but that's about to change. the supreme court has just ruled against a decades old exemption. most people likely the majority of these really say it's time to reduce extensions and for the ultra orthodox community to do more, they hope this would reduce the burden on everyone else. i may get them into making a m, a reservist. i can't do 4 months or reserves service minimum, it's impossible and that's happening. and then just click on massive protests against the conscription of ultra orthodox jews have been turning violent in jerusalem to them. enlistment means a secular way of life, contradicting their religious commitments. the supreme court ruling puts the governments in a dilemma. prime minister, benyamin,
10:20 am
nathaniel, as ultra orthodox collision partners, has threatened to quit his government if their community is conscripted. and yet society at large, most voters and the opposition parties would endorse such a change. i have seen that there is good um, everyone has to be recruited to the um it yeah. if before it was a moral principle view, now it is an extra spiritual, imperative is the recruitment bill is a great taste for the coalition. because if it continues to prioritize keeping the coalition together within the needs of the army. lucky things, the government may collect lots of kids of that. yeah, let me pull this is mia chevy? one of the jews, the lens, ultra orthodox neighborhood. it's rare to get permission to film here you'll be able to music. we are just a few kilometers from parliament, but a world away from that sex in our life. the days here are focused
10:21 am
on closely following jewish religious law, traditions, and prayer. you tell more than a 1000000 is really slit around 13 percent of the population you're done. he or she wants to keep it that way. he's been an every protest against orthodox conscription. he says and reckons there's no way the government could enforce it in the thought that they can impose criminal sanctions on the people. but they are not going to go into neighborhood significantly. they don't have enough room and prisons now with 60000 just chiva students ready to go to jail . you can shut down the state about them being that 60000 t mentioned are conscription, aged ultra orthodox meant 3000 of them should be drafted immediately. according to the attorney general, but will they of all these sag is an academic with
10:22 am
a focus on is riley military ethics. he says, nothing will happen during the current summer recess. but the government coalition won't be able to delay the issue much longer than that. she'll be done this may lead sooner or later to elections and we're at the cost of a total change of the societal balance of power in israel. i think that i think what used to be, who no longer be able to pass as my explanation. because it's rarely society got on its back feet and said, enough is enough. we cannot live this way. i must speak. you have certainly fields go here in may i, she, i mean you don't hear says jewish religious law is incompatible with fighting for the secular israel state. he says, men here will now do that. no matter what the cost defense is for them for the country. let's speak to funny for char, who filed that report. funny, i understand conscription for the ultra orthodox. this has been an issue for
10:23 am
decades. right, so, so why wasn't this solved long ago? and why would you say it is now becoming such a major issue? that's because these extensions have been pretty much part of one can state of political dna of each route. one can go back all the way to the 1st prime minister, ben gloria, and who said these extensions are important so that the ultra orthodox jews can actually do both themselves to religious studies, making sure they protect the traditions that been nearly wiped out during the whole county, so that's been the state of school during a time. nearly a decades ago when the orthodox community was much smaller than it is now we are no longer speaking about a few 100 students, but tens of thousands of or trouble with those students off, constriction cost. per construction age and the voices of those people who want them to be listed have growing louder and louder with every what israel's face. and it's just threatened, especially since october 7th. now the boys in the court of the parliament of the class that they need to come up with some bill that again complies with the ruling
10:24 am
of the supreme court. but the question is, well, the ultra orthodox jews comply with that bill. if, if, if that's going to be really the case to enforce, we'll throw orthodox jews. and we don't speaking just about a few 100, a few 1000, but possibly about the 60000 that are of the construction construction age. and you've been speaking to many people as part of your reporting. do you think they'll comply? what kind of reaction might we see to it's really interesting going to this older orthodox neighborhood, really just a few 100 meters from a studio. but it's really a roles apart from so many other parts of the city and being there. and being able to film was very rare that allowed speaking as a woman to look for a orthodox man. and they told me likely a for the, for the protests at that that they rather go to jail. the rather even died and fighting palestinians. they say, because this is not the reward that they have signed up for, and this is not the state that they except they do not accept as well as the state,
10:25 am
the institutions that come with the bills and the rules that come with it. so what's expected to happen is obviously more protests, but if you go to jerusalem, go outside, you will see protest nearly every day against the government, which orthodox jews protesting the government because of the possible conscription bill is one thing people are taking to the street or to gather in a significant majority right now to make sure that this comes to an end, that there's some truth, but also that the hostages are being released and be a hearing really, a cautious diplomatic assets. he has some sort of a revival accept diploma. the assets between us militants and ease, well, for the very 1st time, again, since december, then there was a long week of, of choose a possibly mediated by control in egypt trying to come to terms with the, to a framework of, of some choose. but that's not going to take away the overall sentiment is really and that is that to would have to continue defend themselves against how much many
10:26 am
things against his bully the militants, a possible multi front floor. and you wouldn't need more people as a result to sign up and serve. thank you so much for that. that is funny for char, for us in jerusalem. and just before we go, let's get a reminder of our top story. this our, the case of central after labor party celebrating a landslide victory with a 2 thirds of seats counted in the general election, the government conservatives and suffered a big loss after 14 years and power, the liberal democrats are in 3rd place. and nigel for rogers of right wing populous reform party set to take several seats and israel's ultra orthodox jewish community . continuing to protest after the supreme court ruled that they must be conscripted into the military, the ruling and a nearly 80 year exemption in a country where almost every other jewish is rarely faces. the draft that is your
