basically nobody really a surprise to about donald trump being delighted that. there will become prime minister because they basically are made of the same stuff you know when is when it comes to populism when it comes to their relationship to truth. and i think the you is still and you can start a possible u.k. snap election this still pursuing its major most important goals and the the the most important one above all else is to protect the single marxist and so even if there was some sort of magical technical solution to keep the trade around the irish border frictionless the e.u. still wouldn't really go for that solution why not because you just cannot have a former member having exits the union and then basically have the same kind of

friction as trade or the e.u. members and members of market enjoy because that would have devastating consequences potentially for the single market and this is a complete no go not for the u. commission but also for example for germany and especially for the german industry which the british ears always said would you know come to teresa mayes a's and. push american government to a softer us towns and the exact opposite was the case so the the. the e.u. is completely united around one position position which is that a former e.u. member can have the same benefits in the same form of friction a straight a current member can have ok so let's let's move this forward to foreign policy particularly with what's happening with the tankers in the straits of hormuz as the friction with iran given boris johnson's outspokenness and perhaps lack of tact

are you concerned about where this could had particularly now that the u.k. are going forward the u.k. will not have the full might of the e.u. behind it. well you know just quickly are given a false or just set of national television they do have to be challenged what catherine said about arrangements existing in an alternative to the backstop is simply not true no technology exists in order to keep a completely open border which is a precondition of the northern ireland peace process which ended a conflict which killed over 3 and a half 1000 people it just can't be said on my own on television like this one challenge is not true and it must be reported on the issue of course of iran well we already know given there is a there's a you know the case in iran at the moment of a of a of a of a british iranian woman who is in held in custody and boris johnson's own intervention when he suggested that she was there doing so-called journalism and

then this was used an iranian call to back up the idea she was a spy so we already know boris johnson's foreign secretary you know one of the worst acts of trees made was appointing him is britain's chief diplomat britain's face to the world or he did in his dealings with the us cause consternation and irritation and embarrassment so what the danger is because the johnson administration and seek a free trade agreement at any cost with the united states that they will go along and we've already heard jeremy hunt the other leadership come today talking in a very hawkish way that if the united states ends up with some sort of conflict by the likes of john bolton cheering them on then britain will do what it did in iraq right and buy the ok to hell i'm going to not intervene in it for you all right i'm going to had to leave it there i'm afraid in this program's gone so quickly thank you very much i'd like to thank all of our guests catherine mcbride marcus becker n o n jones the one thing that's clear is they're going to be very very interesting

mission of the national army is to search the entire complex and i'll just do a stories about telling it from the people's perspective what they think is happening in their culture. an army of volunteers has come together to help with the influx of tens of thousands of evacuees. but their retreat to a church shelter has brought new challenges an outbreak of norovirus and other gastrointestinal problems. smoke from the massive wildfires now blankets much of northern california leading to some of the worst air quality in the world but with more than 12000 structures lost in the wildfires concerns. about long term accommodations jobs and medical care. local officials say there isn't enough housing stock available. and. begins right now but it does not in there no terrorist state poses

boris johnson is set to take charge as the next prime minister with a promise to deliver bags that will be live at westminster. hello and welcome i'm going to go paul and you're watching out is there live from doha also coming up. south korea says russia has expressed regret for entering its airspace during a joint exercise with china. former u.s. special counsel robert muller will testify before a congressional panel over his probe into the trunk campaign teams allegedly. closing because governor clings to power of this political crisis deepens.

so boris johnson is about to become britain's new prime minister after his election as conservative party leader on tuesday he is due to meet queen elizabeth and then and now and his government ministers johnson replacing terry's m a o holds her. final question time in parliament before giving her resignation to the queen top of johnson's agenda will be delivering bragg's it as he's promised an tensions with iran as well as mending the relationship with president donald trump following the controversy over the leaked memo criticizing him we cannot go to westminster or jonah is live for us so jonah boris johnson has given himself an october and deadline promising to do what it took the departure of terrorism in 3 years to do how likely is it that he's going to accomplish what he set out to do

with regards to briggs it. yeah and in just $100.00 days 3 months he's got to do it the boris johnson's team will tell you that's realistic boris johnson himself will probably later on today so the country that he believes that's realistic and as we speak he's trying to fill his cabinet at least the senior posts in his cabinet with people who agree with him that they also think that it's realistic but if you look at the detail of it well it's not so clear he said that he will take britain out of the e.u. by october the 31st deal or no deal the only way he'll get a deal is by resuscitating to reason may's deal and removing from it that hated northern ireland backstop designed to prevent a hard border on the island of ireland and that's the one thing the european union has steadfastly said it won't even talk about doing let alone do that would be putting the interests of a departing member ahead of the interests of an existing member of the republic of

ireland so that leaves no deal is already a clear majority in parliament against no deal assuming parliament gets the opportunity to vote on it that is and the opposition is being marshalled by ministers within the cabinet now who are preparing later on to resign rather than be be fired by boris johnson people like that hammond the chancellor david kopel justice minister roll resteal at the international development secretary big powerful ministers who will marshal opposition to boris johnson's moves towards no deal from the backbenchers to put those things together it looks difficult if not unlikely that mr johnson will succeed in taking britain out of the e.u. of the 31st now banks that has claimed 2 prime ministers in just 3 years so what's the general feeling now how likely is it that barr is johnson can go the distance and follow through on bragg.

without a general election it is looking quite unlikely indeed a general election is the only way to change these numbers in the house of commons that is so far as you said so 3 isn't a threesome a failed to yield a pass way to one that would accommodate breaks it and indeed this tiny. majority that boris johnson inherits from to resume a far worse situation than she ever found herself in just 3 seats at the moment it will go down to 2 next week that could be whittled away by defections from the party during the summer so that by the autumn he finds he can't even command the comp confidence of the house and leads the country into a general election don't be confused into thinking that that solves any problems the country's top polling expert john curtis has been speaking in the last hour pointing out that labor in the conservatives probably won't get more than 25 percent of the vote beach that solves nothing it opens the way to a whole complicated sequence of coalition deals some that could create a government that might pass corrected but equally some to create an entirely new

government that might be leaning towards remain revoking article 50 and possibly a 2nd referendum john holl thank you. now the diplomatic fallout continues after a south korean war plane fired hundreds of warning shots at a russian reconnaissance aircraft russia wants an investigation into tuesday's incident adjourning its 1st ever joint air patrol with china in the region as south korea's news agency says russian diplomats have expressed deep regret for violating south korean airspace japan has protested because it says the military action happened on its territory you know disputed islands well china's defense ministry says that its aircraft didn't invade anyone else's airspace the ministry also blaming increasing tension in the region on the united states japan and australia rob mcbride has more details from seoul. south korea says that russia's apology for

this incursion came during a closed door meeting here on tuesday in seoul between a senior official from russia's defense ministry and his south korean counterpart when he expressed deep regret for the incident saying that it was due to some sort of mechanical error and that a full investigation would now take place it comes as a separate route seems to have developed between south korea and japan over this whole incident because it took place in disputed air space between the 2 neighbors above the doctorow islands as they are known here in south korea attackers shima islands if you're in japan but they are islands that are claimed by both japan and south korea so japan is none too happy about a russian aircraft chased by south korean interceptors wandering into what it sees as its airspace especially as shots were fired several 100 warning rounds of

machine gun fire from those korean aircraft the japanese have lodged their own complaint and now the south korean defense ministry has hit back saying that any protests from japan are not even worth noticing because of course the doctorow islands are very much south korean well wayne hay 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 failing 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 that'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 hey 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 as a say that the chinese would mention taiwan because this document talks about sovereignty and that is an issue that is very close to the government here in beijing. now iran's deputy foreign minister says iranian forces won't allow shipping in the strait of hormuz to be interrupted a british flag or oil tanker was seized there on friday britain's proposal for a european led naval mission to ensure a safe passage in the gulf is supported by denmark france italy and the netherlands . has more from the iranian capital tehran. iran's foreign minister mohammad
