coalition to protect shipping in the gulf only bringing in security to the region. and today much of washington has been waiting for a preview the congressional testimony by former special counsel robert muller jew in the coming hours. boris johnson is set to become the new british prime minister in the coming hours johnson won the conservative party's leadership contest on tuesday and he's pledged to take the u.k. out of the e.u. by the end of october in his words do or die but he also needs to unite a divided policy and an even more polarized nation needs baka reports. it was a 2 horse race but there's only ever being one front runner boris johnson demolished his rival foreign secretary jeremy hunt with double the number of votes to become leader of the conservatives and on wednesday the country has now repair

a party and a nation torn apart by bricks it deliver bricks it unite the country and defeat jeremy corbett. a new front somewhere who was already pointed out that deliver you night and defeat was not the perfect acronym for an election campaign since you are pushing its bills dud but they forgot the final easy my friends the energize and i say i say to all the doctors dude we are going to energize the country we're going to get bricks it done on october 3rd he was going to take advantage of all the opportunities that it will bring in a new spirit of can do boris johnson has a clear mandate among conservatives to lead the party but his do or die promise to leave the e.u. on october 31st even without a deal has polarized and panicked many of his opponents. he doesn't have the qualities to make any kind of prime minister having no standards whatsoever of

trade and the rest in integrity i think it's very easy to see the similarities between from a forest that both. of us told. 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. the reason my failed we're actually just the same just the same political paralysis as we thought before and. through some sort of political alchemy able to look. given he's raised expectations pretty.

recrimination. could be venomous one big expectation raised by johnson is of a new breaks that deal with brussels the use repeatedly said it won't reopen negotiations but as the blocks chief breaks it negotiated tweeted the use 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 spinola 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 pranks it many question whether anything will change at all leave. london. challenging times ahead as she congratulated paris johnson. and says both sides have a duty to deliver a good deal on the u.k.

from the block and house about to has all the european reaction from paris. well the main concern for many european leaders really is what will boris johnson's appointment mean for the briggs's process boris johnson has made it very clear that he doesn't wish to shy away from a deal brigs it but a no deal breaks it is something that most european leaders have been saying all along for months and for years it's something they would like to avoid they say that it doesn't serve the interests of any member state in the european union and that it doesn't serve the interests of britain and they've worked very hard to push away a no deal scenario so they'll be very worried about boris johnson's next move now we've heard from some key european figures the french presence a man on my call who congratulated boris johnson on his appointment as britain's new prime minister he said he looked forward to working with not just on breaks it

but on other issues in which france has collaborated with britain very closely such as iran we also heard from the main break that negotiator michel barnier who said that he looks forward to now completing the brakes a process if you like to an orderly breaks it also heard from another european leader who took perhaps a different angle on boris johnson's appointment. is the a far right interior minister of italy also italy's deputy prime minister and he said in a tweet that because boris johnson was seen by the left wing as a dangerous more dangerous than matter is sylviane is far right party that so made boris johnson from the toes of any a very likable character indeed while u.s. president donald trump has praised paris johnson's election saying he's popular because he's seen as britain's trump. we have a really good man is going to be the prime minister of the u.k.

now wars. are tough smart. this is a britain truck they call drop ins people saying that's a good thing that they like me over there that's what they want to. thank you. for what they need you'll get it done for us is good he's going to do a good job now south korea is claiming that russians and russian officials have private she expressed regret for flying into south korean air space on tuesday russia and china carried out their 1st joint patrol south korea says the planes crossed into its territory and the military fired warning shots in response japan's government also raised complaints all china's defense ministry maintains that the aircraft did not enter the territorial airspace of any other country it made the announcement as its unveiled its strategic priorities while south korea has summoned

a senior russian diplomat over the incident. the reason why we summoned the russian deputy chief of mission without prior notice is to lodge a stern protest on russian aircraft entering the korean air defense identification zone and violation of our airspace and strongly urge them to prevent a reoccurrence but our correspondent robin wright joins me now live from seoul rob what kinds of assurances has south korea gotten from russia over this incident i mean it seems that this expression of regret was all off the record. that's right the south koreans i think have taken the decision to release the details of what was said in this meeting because they do contradict what the russian defense ministry said in public after this incursion took place when they accuse the south korean pilots of dangerous flying behavior way in by making this interception of course the south korean interceptors fired hundreds of rounds of machine gun fire as a warning to the russian intruder well now according to the south korean government

in a meeting with the defense ministry official here in seoul he expressed deep regret to his south korean counterpart seeming to accept that the russian aircraft was in the wrong place the wrong position of blaming some sort of mechanical malfunction for being in that place and promising a full investigation and interestingly asking the south koreans for help in that investigation by providing the exact coordinates and timings of this of this intrusion into the airspace the 1st time that this has happened it's almost as though disconcertingly the russians don't know exactly where their plane was at the time interestingly this is also caused a separate tiff between south korea and japan because this intrusion took place in disputed airspace over the disputed doctorow islands as they're called here in south korea or tacky shima as they're known in japan they are claimed by both

countries now so when the russian aircraft entered the airspace followed by the south korean interceptors according to japan they were entering its airspace and it was none too pleased about south korean interceptors firing off machine gun firing what it claims to be its air space well now the south korean defense ministry has responded to that saying that the japanese criticism doesn't even deserve even passing notice that the doctorow islands are very much south koreans brian's there with that update from cell thank you rob well wayne hare has the view from beijing . there was no reaction on tuesday when this incident allegedly occurred with russian and chinese jets violating south korean airspace but veiling their latest white paper on defense in beijing on wednesday morning the chinese defense ministry did respond to a question about this the spokesman saying that they strictly observed

international law referring specifically to this incident saying the exercises with russia do not target any 3rd party and these joint patrols between china and russia in the area will continue remembering this was the 1st time that this had taken place between the chinese and russian air forces the fact that they mention that they do not target any 3rd party very much in line with the theme all of this white paper that has been an involved it's about reflecting on the past few years of the chinese military since the last white paper was released in 2015 since then we've seen a period of downsizing of reform of modernization of the military that continues now and it's about charting the way forward in the theme really was about peace that the chinese are saying look they do not seek expansion or hate jimmy but they are about protecting their own national interests overseas and solvency and we

would talk about sovereignty it was of course inevitable that in this white paper this latest document that they would talk about taiwan of course china views taiwan as a breakaway province that one day it will retake with the use of force if necessary and recently we saw the united states make another weapons sale to taiwan worth more than $2000000000.00 the chinese of course at the time condemned that sal and in the white paper it makes specific mention of the weapons silences the united states is undermining global strategic stability inevitable. the say that the chinese would be mentioned taiwan because this document talks about sovereignty and that is an issue that is very close to the government here in beijing well for more on all of this we can speak to victor gao who is the director at the china national association of international studies and he joins us now from beijing victor as we've just been hearing from weigh in on this new white paper china's been touching on a range of issues and potential flash points in your mind what kind of message is beijing

trying to send here. well this defense report issued by the minister of defense is the ultimate overarching a report about china's defense in general including its strategy its object of its current status and also the challenges that the defense forces are commissioned to deal with solve this is truly a milestone report issued every year about china's military situation and i think it's very transparent everyone can read it and i think it reflects the realities on the ground in china i think it also emphasizes that the chinese defense is very much self defense in nature and it does not constitute a threat to any neighboring country or any other country in the world and i think

it also outlined the gradual process of the military buildup in china the chinese military budget right now is number 2 in the world next to the united states but compared with the u.s. military budget it's still a fraction of that however the challenges that the chinese country is faced with. china after all is the 2nd largest economy in the world and the largest a trading nation in the world and it has to deploy maturity forces in many quarters in the world to make sure that the chinese legitimate economic interests are fully protected and this white paper outlines all these major themes and is very useful for ever were interested in china in particular in chinese defense it seems that the thrust of this white paper this year has been around this this general push for peace but there's also been this joint effort role with russia and

the reactions from neighbors in the region also seem to reflect a view of chinese aggression so how does that fit in with what we're hearing from beijing today. and i think the allegations or suspicions of so-called the chinese aggression are really groundless and indeed china and russia have conducted regular military exercises jointly together for many years including their ground forces their navy and their air forces as reflected in the recent event and i think this is very natural and very routine after all china russia are the 2 large neighboring country with a long land boundary and there is absolute need for the 2 military to get to understand each other better to know each other better and also to accord meet their military deployment in such a way that they can unite together to

a repel any hostile military forces if the ever dare to polls real threat either to russia or to china so i think the 2 militaries in china or russia are getting calls and calls that together and such joint military exercises including all forms you can imagine a will become more and more routine in the future and we'll certainly be watching that space thank you victor gao a director at the china national institute and nat china national association i'm sorry of international studies thank you victor. still ahead on al-jazeera why some people are saying u.s. sanctions on iran have turned neighboring iraq into a giant a.t.m. .

hallow is getting hotter again in both iran and iraq the tension terance could be 40 or 41 of the next day or so it's not much different or way across to afghanistan or down to the south coast hotter still when you drop down to the plains baghdad's 47 probably 48 or 40 down in. and beirut about 30 always could of course near the coast it'll really change the next day or so maybe a slow rise in temperature we saw 50 in this part of iran down there the border with kuwait. to cuba's iraq and it could be repeated but in c. 51 but slight direction change in the wind means this city it in doha should give you a hint it's become more humid is going to stay that way for a little while yet particular suspect proton together friday more expected high humidity along the coast on the coast of oman particular. to her if is in daily cloudy interestedly but sometimes occurs further north as well chartreuse possible

in yemen up in the mountains a rarity rather than common. we see some pretty windy stormy an unpleasant weather across western cape recently was only 14 degrees in cape town on wednesday that looks largely dry the wind is a little bit on thursday the temperature doesn't change. every reclaim news cycle brings a series of breaking stories is maximum jail term has jumped from 5 years to 175 years during the listening post is retained macam. on the media donald trump shouldn't be the one deciding who is a journalist and who is a focus on how they would cool down the stories that matter the most they move closer and closer to the shutdown both international and domestic news coverage on al-jazeera.

hello again i'm. reminded of the top stories this hour boris johnson has won the race to lead the u.k.'s governing conservative party and will become prime minister on wednesday johnson has also pledged to take the u.k. out of the e.u. by the end of october. south career is claiming that russian officials have privately expressed regret for flying into south korea and space on tuesday russia and china carried out their fast joint patrols south korea says the planes crossed into its territory and the military fired warning shots in response. china's defense ministry has announced its key priorities in a white paper it's accusing the u.s. of undermining global stability by trying to sell to taiwan.

now it's really denmark the netherlands and france are backing britain's proposal for a european led naval mission to ensure safe shipping through the strait of hormuz that's where iran seized a u.k. flagged oil tanker on friday but iran's deputy foreign minister says it will secure the strays and not allow any disturbance to shipping dosage of ari has more from the iranian capital. iran's foreign minister mohammad javad zarif for 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 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 and 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 and micron. 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 results on what the europeans have been promising under this deal. now iraq relies heavily on a rainy and trade with 2 and a half $1000000000.00 worth of imports every $100.00 days but with the united states increasing sanctions on iran concern is growing in baghdad about the knock on effects of some of the of it has this report from the iraqi capital. from vegetables to milk cooking oil to washing detergent in southern iraq almost everything on sale is from neighboring iran. not just theory products come from pick it snakes cakes juice is all i reporter from iran there will be

a crisis if these products are. some locally produced items are available but imported goods are cheaper iran's proximity low prices and long established trade ties make it easier for vendors to rely on 3 product. iranian groceries dominate the iraqi market because if it wasn't for the in locally produced groceries would have been sold at twice their actual price. but as the u.s. increases pressure and imposes biting sanctions on tehran iraqi traders are concerned . that what we can afford the absence of iranian goods in the market the average income of a person buying cheap imported goods from iran. iraq is the only country exempt from u.s. sanctions on iran washington has extended baghdad's waiver on iranian imports for 3 months it's not clear what will happen when that expires as the us insists iraq must find alternatives in anticipation of the sanctions iraq and iran have been

discussing ways to continue the trade an estimated $25000000.00 worth of iranian imports into iraq every day according to iraqi officials there's a special financial agreement under which iraq will run without sending over any money iran will be able to use that money which remains inside iraq to purchase goods a similar to be made between iraq and some european countries to work around u.s. sanctions. and there are other powers papering iran that are defending iran's interests which made iraq iran's back door a.t.m. so to speak to mitigate sanctions iraq's economy is largely unorganized a lack of official statistics. makes it impossible to accurately picture what happens at the border with iran which stretches 1400 kilometers france germany and the u.k. introduced a mechanism called in sticks to facilitate trade in exchange of basic goods

including food medical equipment and medicine between iranian and foreign companies iraq's case is different because in addition to household items baghdad relies heavily on iranian gas imported electricity. iraq also needs a. political situation isn't completely settled this extends to iraq's economy industry and agriculture besides iranian investment and other foreign investment is no although iraqi officials deny that baghdad is becoming iran's a.t.m. or cash machine the fear is that any restriction on could affect iraq's fragile stability some of the job and out of the fact that now former u.s. special counsel robert muller will go before congress on wednesday over his investigation into russian interference in the 2016 presidential election she had from washington for almost 2 years some opponents of president trump reached a frenzy as they speculated about what special counsel robert muller might uncover

as he investigated allegations of between the trump campaign and russia during the 26th election in the end they were disappointed there was insufficient evidence to charge a broader conspiracy. nonetheless it's expected the democrats will concentrate on the repeated contacts between russian nationals and members of the trump campaign in the 2nd of wednesday's hearings before the house intelligence committee as well as allegations of russian interference in the election democrats are expected to focus on whether donald trump obstructed the investigation itself in the 1st hearing before the house judiciary committee specifically with a bold truck would have been indicted how do you not been president has cited department of justice guidelines in explaining why the president wasn't charged with obstruction under longstanding department policy a president president cannot be charged with a federal crime while he is in office. that is unconstitutional but mother was also careful to say that if he had confidence that the president clearly did not commit

a crime he would have said sorry for some democrats there is there is an opportunity to attempt to mobilize public opinion to support at the very least the opening of an impeachment investigation currently the polls don't suggest fervent support among the public a new appetite among the house democratic leadership they're trying to make the report come to life many people didn't take the time to read a 450 page dr prosecute q tauriel report and this is something that you know will illustrate what is actually in it and we know that last time. he was when he gave a statement a public statement you know public opinion started to shift a little bit the key question is in the report of the constitution requires a process other than the criminal justice system to accuse a president of wrongdoing so does he mean congressional impeachment republicans are likely to focus on what they allege is the bias that led to

a one sided investigation in the 1st place they will also attempt to present mother's testimony as the definitive conclusion of the whole episode but frankly miller has made clear that if he can help it he will not give either side what they are looking for and the report is my testimony i would not provide information beyond that which is already public in any appearance before congress she ever counts the al-jazeera washington now the chief of staff a pleasure week or as governor has resigned and follows an 11 days of mass protests that began i delete messages between governor. and his aides the online chats were widely condemned as sexist and homophobic ok but i was under reports from sad one. order because going through right now is no joke it's not just a couple people out on the streets absolutely it's everyone in rock hill south was at home in philadelphia watching news reports of the protests in her native puerto rico it was contemplating coming back to take part but what finally pushed her over

the edge was what happened to her mom mother got pepper sprayed one of the 1st few days and i was not going to let my mother get it and part of it but my mother being on the front line and participating in this and fighting back and my not being here felt like that what tipped it over for me and i had to be here rockwell and acclaimed poet and activists got on a plane and headed back to puerto rico to take to the streets to call for governor ricardo rosso you know to step down she was not alone there are about 6000000 puerto rican americans that live on the mainland of the united states there's no telling how many of them have returned here to the island to take part in these protests but certainly it's in the 10s of thousands of people doing the protest and it's easy to find puerto ricans who live abroad that come home to take part in this it's clear what is happening here has taken on more than

a protest it's something larger for many puerto ricans i said that this was perhaps our version of an arab spring and that's going to look very different but i think the movement doesn't. a leader at the home and doesn't have an organization at home being from this feels like revolution procmail indeed her afternoon as she has done every day since she's been back home chanting for the leader of her homeland to resign. she says she will not buy a return ticket to philadelphia until it happens. i'll just san juan puerto rico. hello there i'm a star with the headlines boris johnson has won the race to lead the u.k.'s governing conservative party and will become prime minister on wednesday johnson has also pledged to take the u.k. out of the e.u. by the end of october we're going to get bricks dug because we'll take advantage of

during the unveiling of its strategic priorities the ministry went on to highlight the issue of taiwan and blames the u.s. japan and a strange increasing tension in the region if you denmark the netherlands and france are backing britain's proposal for a european led naval mission to ensure safe shipping through the strait of hormuz that's where iran seized a u.k. flag oil tanker on friday but iran's deputy foreign minister says it will secure the strait and not allow any disturbance to shipping. venezuela's opposition controlled national assembly has voted to rejoin a regional defense treaty adding more pressure on the government of president nicolas maduro assembly members led by opposition leader one quite 0 were forced to hold the session outside because of ongoing nationwide blackouts well those are the headlines and they'll be more news here on al-jazeera that the listening post do stay with us thanks love to make loans to some friends because behind the suffering
