yes there will be difficulties though i believe that within a gene application they will be far less serious than some have claimed there was a distinct lack of details and strategy in the speech but no shortage of ambition and optimism johnson is going to be a very different style of leader this is how the formal handover of power began with a journey to buckingham palace to meet queen elizabeth a journey interrupted momentarily by protesters this is the pageantry of british politics the choreography of change queen elizabeth has to at all times remain rigorously impartial when it comes to politics but as head of state she has a vital role in fighting the next prime minister to form a government queen elizabeth c. many prime ministers come and go during her reign winston churchill margaret thatcher and now boris johnson his place in british history is still being written earlier the outgoing prime minister theresa may also met the queen to formally tender her resignation in her final prime minister's questions on wednesday she was
6:01 am
asked whether she was happy to hand over responsibility to a man she refused to back as leader of the opposition labor leader described as reckless this is how my responded and i am i am pleased to hand over to an incoming leader of the conservative party and prime minister who i worked with when he was in my cabinet who i am sure is committed to it as a conservative who stood on a conservative manifesto in 2017 to delivering on the those are the british people in 2060 and delivering a bright future for this country. as boys johnson and to see his new home and greet his new staff he also mediately faces some of the greatest matters of state will be briefed on national security and will have to write letters of last resort to nuclear submarine crews with instructions of what to do if the government is wiped out. they love him or they hate him and i think that's true with world leaders with
6:02 am
his counterparts as foreign secretary he's got this comedic element about him which is highly unusual he's used to brilliant effect but we will see very soon whether from sort of beneath this cocoon of bluster a statesman is actually waiting to emerge boris johnson warm said there was more chance of finding elvis omar's than him becoming prime minister his sheer force of personality has brought him here and now the weight of serious responsibility dorms neve parker al-jazeera westminster. and he joins us now from outside the prime minister's residence and downing street and we have seen a remarkable evening off cabinet is what does what is the complection of parts johnson's cabinet now. well it's all changing it has been more brutal than a lot of people predicted goanna is jeremy hunt the previous foreign secretary he
6:03 am
was of course the leadership rival in the last rounds to boris johnson he was offered a less senior role and declined but also loyalists to jeremy hunt who were a strong director to have also gone people like penny morton to the outgoing defense secretary in ca many prominent vote levy figures including jahvid now such a job it becomes the next chancellor next door to number 10 here he replaces philip hammond who resigned on wednesday even before boris johnson was officially prime minister he had promised to do so that's because he is a worried about the prospect of a government being prepared to take britain out of the e.u. without a deal and so it's clear that the the new direction is rewarding loyalists to boris johnson to true bricks it is in some people's eyes but their room for maneuver on other issues could be limited. they're calling it britain's
6:04 am
biggest cabinet clear outs without a change of ruling party on a day that saw more than half of those in the top jobs gone many of them sacked it became clear some of the biggest appointments a prominent vote leave campaigners incomes pretty patel a right winger who's advocated bringing back the death penalty as home secretary or interior minister she replaces cited javid who moves into 11 downing street as chancellor in charge of finances and that's a major indication of prime minister johnson's thinking his predecessor philip hammond resigned even before johnson was officially in office. alone that the prospect of a premier willing to countenance a no deal bricks it's becoming is and goings here at downing street always attract a lot of attention and speculation about what the prime minister's priorities are going to be but this time around the real question is whether ministers stand on bricks and i think what it tells us is that he's going to want people around him who are very committed to his do or die approach to practice it who would be
6:05 am
prepared to go out with a new deal on the 31st of october and that although he has talked about creating a team that represents the whole of britain that represents the sort of across posse consensus within the conservative party in those top jobs he's going to want people who are very much hard corporate city is it china's come to act. to take decisions but johnson speech outside number 10 did outline may just spending aims 20000 more police officers on the street but the social care and more funding for education he talked about offering hope for what he called the forgotten people and the left behind towns but some observers are skeptical that he'll get any further with tackling inequality the to reason may do it as a you know died of a conservative it's unlikely that he will massively increase public expenditure but he has talked about money he took by giving tax cuts to the to every so it seems unlikely that he will run many. many times before that in order to address even
6:06 am
equality. of course parliament being tied up with leaving the e.u. was a major reason why some of to resume his plans never got off the ground given the challenges that remain around delivering some kind of breaks it boris johnson may also go down as a one issue prime minister. i should note although boris johnson in that speech did recommit to britain leaving the e.u. with or without a deal on the 31st of october some of the things he's been saying have hinted his realisation that we may in fact be going towards another early general election and so he's very much concerned with getting the right team in place to try to fight such a campaign thank you very much nadine barber in downing street live now to andrew symonds in westminster and as you've been saying the rhetoric and the temperament might be very different but the challenge essentially remains the same how to get
6:07 am
a deal through a parliament that is divided. well certainly i am a new looking at this this is just this isn't a reshuffle it's a wholesale clear out on the wall in modern politics and politics in britain has been nothing like it it is extraordinary really is it has it gone too far has he taken too many risks with me right now to discuss this to political journalists from i would say differing parts of the media spectrum if you don't mind me saying 1st of all john stephens here deputy political editor from the daily mail and also benjamin kentish political correspondent of the independent 1st of all to you benjamin this is extraordinary is it too high risk it's a huge risk nobody predicted this we knew there'd be some refreshing of the cabinet has been some sort of people are being cast as deadwood i think accurately but the scale of this is you said on a reshuffle it's a total player out more than half the cabinet either sacked or resigned pleading
6:08 am
people that were expected to stay within that same people a penny more than bricks it is ministers who have been seen to be quite a good job and in some cases in her case possessed possibly a future leader of the party yours you'd agree i'm not sure do that say i think in a treason may the last few years been the prime minister's struggle with menaces not being loyal to her and she's had this pain from her ministers in portions in showing today he will not accept anything except absolute loyalty to people he didn't back in the leadership campaign to become to a leader been amazingly removed in egypt he's in his exit no small nonsense from his company but surely that's a big risk because you've got an awkward squad out there now everyone knows is that you know when you've got influential big hitters out on those back benches they're going to cause trouble and there's a way for thin majority i think so and you see people like philip hammond who is the chancellor you know he's been opponent of the new deal bricks and he's warned
6:09 am
that he will oppose that from the backbenches that you always have. he pointed out that war has a poor sense indeed with his cabinet and so i think he's just showing these good team to get on with this now and gas out of the by the 31st of all do you agree but i think john's right there was going to a small group of rebels and what boris johnson's done today within minutes of taking over is massively increased that group created a lot of hostility a lot of ill will amongst people people like james brokenshire minister who supported him throughout the campaign now on the back benches with one of thought a grudge and bear in mind as you said he's got a majority of 2 possibly going down to one if the tories lose by next next week nor prime minister you can afford to have that kind of opposition about benches it's the sort of person that many of you busy view your readers would go for boris johnson would you not agree with what would that take be on things today would you say paul british bulldog style politics would many of them agree with what's going on here i think sarah look daily mail readers voted for bricks that they want us
6:10 am
out of the year and they've seen in the last few years been a lot did the ring we've had delays to correct that happening and they just want to finally get this out and they like through these mayors prime minister they wanted to do well in the day she didn't managed to get this out of the e.u. and now we've got someone taking completely different strategy and they will hope the boys sense and finally get us out of the talking a different strategy is i'm assuming the independent wouldn't agree with no so we're campaigning pretty vocally for a 2nd referendum but if you south think this is a strategy this is a cabinet designed purely to get directly through is a sign to me of a prime minister who doesn't think he's going to be governing with this parliament for long i think an election is imminent but what he's kind of hasn't factored in is that to get any deal through he's going to need the support of his own backbenchers a number of whom are now pretty angry about how his hand if it's doesn't this almost seem like a single issue a campaign rather than the reshma truck sharing of a government i think so but you know briggs's completely dominated british politics at the last 2 years as much as theresa may try to have
6:11 am
a domestic agenda at the end of day everything came back to breakfast save for something. he knows his number one mission is to get us out the by the 31st and he's showing now that that is his number one priority of the appointments what's the most shocking to you i think pretty brutal as home secretary very much set the tone for what was about to come this is someone who is not a unifying figure by any stretch very contentious was sacked from the government of course less than 2 years ago for holding secret meetings a fetish and declared with another government if you have the death penalty she called for the death penalty she's now in charge of law and order so this is not someone that we bring in party together or frankly appealing to the swing voters the tories need to win a general election and we have a defense minister who's gone after only just a couple of weeks after she'd been appointed at a time of crisis in the gulf with the british flag who is that all the. readers really want to see her penny more than was britain's 1st female defense secretary she's only likely impose for a couple of months so i think a lot of people in westminster presume that being that 1st female in that role she
6:12 am
would be allowed to keep her job she's someone who supported bricks and was part of the vote leave campaign along separate johnson which she did back in for 2 really didn't know it was being picked going to have to endure but one word answers please october the 31st where will britain be still an e.u. heading for a general election i think we have in front of action well there you go that's the view of her 2 key figures in the media it is all to play for some but quite an extraordinary day in british politics it has jen thank you very much thank you andrew symonds in westminster on how the speaker of puerto rico's house of representatives says they've started impeachment proceeding proceedings against governor ricardo resale he's been under increasing pressure after nearly 2 weeks of mass protests and police are preparing for more demonstrations on wednesday protest as one the governator resign after leaked messages showed him making sexist and homophobic comments media had suggested he was stepping down on wednesday but his
6:13 am
spokesman denied that. rico's status has defined its politics since the us an extinct from spain in $898.00 at the end of the spanish-american war caribbean island is sandwiched between the dominican republic in the virgin islands or the 3 and a half 1000 kilometers from the us mainland it's been an american territory since 1900 but not an official state depriving it of the power and benefits of statehood like representation in congress or so rico is allowed one seat bought without any voting powers over american citizens but they cannot vote for the president unless they live on the mainland and the island has its own independent elected local government and a constitution. well deborah joins us live now from san juan so quite a bizarre situation where the governor has to well is denying that he has resigned despite the increasing pressure he is facing there on the streets of san juan.
6:14 am
that's right we really have a standoff here but that could change literally at any 2nd now let me set the scene for you we're outside of la porte the laser which is an old old fan the one which has been the flashpoint of where these protests have been happening for 12 days now this is where the governor's mansion is right behind the protesters there that have gathered inside the governor's mansion it is a very moment how we're expecting a statement from either the governor himself or one of his representatives we have no idea what he's going to say it has been rumored all day that he was planning to step down however he has not done that all day and one of his aides actually sent out a statement a few hours ago saying that he had not stepped down so quite frankly there is a lot of confusion and a lot of uncertainty at this very hour here in puerto rico but as you can see
6:15 am
behind me there are hundreds of protesters have been gathering here right outside there waiting just like everyone else to see what is going to happen what the governor is going to announce here in the next few minutes we're expecting we have seen a remarkable growth in these protests on the island just describe the sentiment now how people are feeling right now is it just about these leaked messages or on the on the on the queen says a plane. let's be clear this started because of delete messages these boger messages nearly $900.00 pages of which would sit governor was making insulting and derogatory comments about women about fellow coyer reasons about the tea. no they died here during hurricane maria that's sparking credible outrage by almost all cross-section of puerto rican society who see over the last 10 days or so as this is growing it's become about even more now
6:16 am
it's become about education. primarily corruption a lot of puerto ricans for a long time felt that their government was corrupt and that these leaked messages which the government governor seemed to indicate that he was doing some backroom deals to seem to verify for so many puerto ricans that they what they verified their beliefs that this government needs to be changed so this has grown into what many people here used the word revolution and that's their words here they say this is about the governor he's got to step down we're going to force them out they say but beyond that they needed and shier change of government here in this island an island that's still trying to recover from hurricane maria that devastated puerto rico about 2 years ago these are the people of puerto rico and island of 3000000 people and just on monday there were more than 500000 people out on the streets protesting in the biggest protest this island has ever seen. ok thank you very much
