8:03 pm
qualities to make any kind of prime minister of a lay no standards whatsoever of trace and their ass and then take my take i think it's very easy to see the similarities between from forrest the both long. and they both seem to fly by the seat. and make up the policy as they go along there is a wave of worry about what boris johnson's leadership might look like also a huge amount of anger directed at grassroots members of the conservative party i'm conservative m.p.'s for making were the most divisive figure is in modern british politics the next leader of the country earlier in the day cabinet ministers a rifle teresa mayes last meeting as prime minister many of these ministers will be asking how johnson can succeed. to resume a failed we're actually in just the same just the same political paralysis as we
8:04 pm
thought before and unless boris yeltsin is through some sort of political alchemy able to unlock that then given that he's raised expectations pretty hard the recriminations could be venomous one big expectation raised by johnson is of a new brakes a deal with brussels the use repeatedly said it won't reopen negotiations but as the blocks chief breaks it negotiated tweeted the e.u.'s ready for dialogue moments after johnson's win was declared bookmakers were taking bets on his demise $5.00 to $1.00 to be the shortest serving prime minister ever he could face a no confidence vote if he fails to deliver on his promises for many months johnson spin on the political margins criticising the government and often courting controversy now at the center of british politics everything appears to have changed but when it comes to bracks it many question whether anything will change at all. al-jazeera under. well it is an especially challenging time for
8:05 pm
the incoming leader and therefore prime minister aside from facing the task of taking the u.k. out of the e.u. he will be expected to hit the ground running on several pressing foreign policy issues mr johnson is facing an ongoing showdown with iran over the seizure of a british flag ship in the gulf iran says it's reciprocal action after british marines seized an iranian tank of gibraltar earlier this month he'll also have to work on the u.k.'s relationship with the united states relations have soured over those leaked e-mails from britain's former us ambassador criticizing president donald trump they're also tensions with china the u.k. continues to delay a decision on whether the chinese telecoms giant what way will play a part in the u.k.'s new 5 g. network scott lucas is the editor of e a worldview and a professor of political science and international studies at the university of birmingham he says boris johnson will have a difficult time trying to renegotiate breck's it with the e.u. . this parade of boris johnson is probably over even before it starts because there
8:06 pm
is a stark choice here and that is either johnson goes back and accepts 2 the deal on the irish backstop excepts that deal on what is close to a customs union with europe or he shakes his thirst and says that's it we're leaving in a no deal that would be economically catastrophic for the u.k. what compels us difficulty because we're going to go into a summer recess and then the party conferences the u.k. won't even be in a position to negotiate with the european union probably until mid september which is about 6 weeks before the deadline to to grow and then he's got to be seen surely to have been doing the best job he can do come the british political party season because that he will want to go from there you see a seaside town venue rallying the troops getting the loyal people truly on board to then what a 304 week timeline to deliver on halloween bricks it except the emperor's got no
8:07 pm
army the problem is that he can go and talk about the john spirit he can go and try to invoke shakespeare he can try to book under the 1st but the fact of the matter is is that the u.k. has no leverage with europe they've got no economic leverage because no deal would be so damaging putting the country into recession they've got no political leverage with europe because one versus $27.00 is not good odds and the one thing that johnson tries to hold up which is a trade deal with the united states is a meth there's no way that you can even have that within 2 to 4 years. iranian diplomats in vienna on sunday to discuss how to save the 2050 nuclear deal they're meeting representatives from britain france germany russia and china britain's foreign secretary is calling for a european led naval mission to ensure the safety of shipping in the gulf following the seizure of a british oil tanker iran's foreign minister has responded saying any attempt to patrol the gulf will only bring regional insecurity to a such
8:08 pm
a body has more now from tehran. iran's foreign minister mohammad javad zarif is the 1st official to comment on the latest developments out of london the foreign minister tweeted that the may government seizure of iranian oil at behest of the us is piracy pure and simple i congratulate my former counterpart boris johnson becoming u.k.'s prime minister iran does not seek confrontation we have 1500 miles of persian gulf coast line these are our waters and we will protect them his sentiments are shared by other high ranking officials in iran we've heard from the 1st vice president who also said that the suggestion of a coalition force to patrol the waters of the strait of hormuz and guarded the ships that pass through it is absolutely not necessary and that iran is capable of providing security to the ships in the strait of hormuz and it is up to iran and
8:09 pm
the regional countries to ensure the safety of their waters meanwhile we've understood that there has been the extraordinary meeting called in vienna for sunday july 28th between the remaining signatories of the j c p oh wait that's a 2015 nuclear agreement the iranians will want to discuss the lack of commitment to the nuclear agreement by the remaining signatories mainly the european ones that's britain france and germany on tuesday the iranian president has this bachelor that heating foreign minister. with a letter for french president. she will deliver this letter to the president in paris we understand that this is really the last ditch effort to try and salvage what is left of this 2015 nuclear deal because iran is insisting that it will continue to scale back its commitments every 60 days until it sees some tangible
8:10 pm
results on what the europeans have been promising under this deal. ok let's go back to our top story boris johnson today elected leader of the governing conservative party in the u.k. that means that the outgoing prime minister to resign may goes to buckingham palace tomorrow she speaks to her majesty the queen she says please invite mr johnson in effect she says please invite mr johnson to form the next governing government the next cabinet inside number 10 downing street she also implicitly says to her majesty the queen he has the numbers to make it work he has the support of the house andrew symonds as our correspondent outside the house of commons in westminster there on college green i notice and root so all steam all guns a blazing for one hard crash out of the e.u. at the end of october if needs be. most certainly according to boris johnson yes he's prepared to do that you mention numbers 66.4 percent was the scale of his win that's a $2.00 to $1.00 margin against jeremy hunt
8:11 pm
a clear win there now what he did was to use the acronym d u d dude this might appear to many people as to be too serious to be funny that d. is for delivering bricks if he's intent on crashing through with a no deal breck's it if he can't get any other deal together to try and solve the issue of the northern ireland but stop uniting the country was the 2nd one how does he know the country when he can't even unite the party far from it now you've got the seat swapped with the rebels as they were now effectively going to get the power and those who are being out philip hammond the main protagonists he's the finance minister the charge of the exchequer he'll be resigning and he'll be leading on the backbenches. serious challenge this government and then the next point defeat jeremy corbyn well definitely a clue there as to what could happen because that could be a general election it's not general election or it could be forced to go to the
8:12 pm
country because the wafer thin but you know it's a. and the final point energizing the country well yes he does have this british bulldog style but what is the what is the actual fact in all of this one of these is the way it is people are all skiing where is the action where is the actual movement that they can get so therefore we're going to see on wednesday is this man becoming prime minister with lots of questions with michelle bonnie and the e.u. commission negotiators saying straight away that this far as he's concerned you stick to the plan of all do you go with the 33 withdrawal withdrawal agreement the temps all of which you failed but you stick to that and we look forward to talking to. the new prime minister about that well there remains to be sitting for example is going to happen.

8:17 pm
mike johnson's declarations on similarly be promises made to win over his party without the substance or detail to back them up. we have of course be pushing our plan into action so as to be ready to come out on october. 31st a 1st come what may come out next. daughter bhutto harry was head of communications under boris johnson when he was mayor of london boris johnson's time at city hall showed that he's more than capable of doing detail he doesn't drive he doesn't allow. the shore's to come up with excuses for not doing things which is why he delivered almost everything he promised as mere and if he was to be that bulldozer if you like refusing to take no for an answer in number 10 then he could be he could be a successful prime minister as mayor for 8 years johnson was a flamboyant salesman for the city with a self-effacing charm that indeed him to many but the challenge of downing street
8:18 pm
will far outweigh the city on both sides people are not altogether convinced though he is as sincere about this as he has been in other things. but we're about to find out and frankly the way he's now been selected within the conservative party he's got very little room for maneuver so what however this journey started he is now the leader of the press a party in all but name and that's what he has to deliver or it'll all be over very very quickly boris johnson famously prepared to do newspaper columns favoring both leave and remain before opting to support the leave campaign ahead of the 2016 referendum some wonder now whether he'll be persuaded to opt for a soft briggs's compromise once the realities facing his heart breaks it promises become clear i think it is face a huge challenge i mean any any party takes faces huge constraints in terms of both
8:19 pm
what the e.u. will agree to and what parliament will agree to and he might say that he's going to leave the e.u. on the 31st of october to deal with delhi fundamentally that is not an issue entirely in his gift and it wouldn't surprise me at all if behind the scenes his team are preparing for a possible general election in the autumn because it might well go wrong supporters compared johnson to winston churchill a crisis leader the e.u. won't call his bluff they suggest because no one knows what he might do next door. 7 but the resistance he's. yes absolutely no chance of getting his bricks through on october 31st yes he did say do or die so on november the 1st if we fall in on this sort johnson has reached the pinnacle of power in british politics wielding it won't be easy jonah how al-jazeera london. russia says it's carried out his 1st long range air patrol with china in the asia
