yes thanks very much that's right it is johnson's 1st full day in the job and he has promised a new golden age telling m.p.'s that his government will throw itself into brakes at negotiations and leave the e.u. by the end of october but the european union has warned him that the best and only deal is the existing one. has more now from westminster. inside 10 downing street a rousing welcome from a loyal team prime minister boris johnson's new cabinet dominated by bricks it hard liners at the 1st pep talk and as you will know we have a momentous task of the people in our history we are committed all of us to live in. october not going to go you don't know if they're not for us for interrupting the promises there's far too much noise in this strain but in parliament a very different johnson had promised to unite the conservative party but his

ruthless decision to sack or sidelined 17 senior ministers may have done the opposite. his 1st statement was one of optimism channeling his hero winston churchill promising a golden era for britain and then a message to the european union asking them to rethink the current deal in their country that values its independence and indeed it so for suspect could agree to a treaty which signed away our economic independence and self-government as this back story does a time when it is not enough if an agreement is to be reached it must be clearly understood that the way to the deal goes by way of the abolition of the backstop i request politely rejected by brussels with the e.u.'s chief negotiator michel barnier saying that eliminating the backstop is unacceptable and not within the mandate of the european council a message reiterated by the outgoing european commission president in

a phone call with boris johnson with saying that the e.u.'s position on the withdrawal agreement is the best and only way possible this is the last day parliament will sit for breaking for the summer but the challenges facing the new prime minister immense negotiate a new breaks it deal in just 98. it's a deal the e.u. says cannot be renegotiated and fix a multitude of problems facing britain and health care education and security all with a parliamentary majority of just 3 many say the country could be heading for a general election i think that boris johnson if he sees that he's going to lose a vote of say no confidence in the house of commons i think he would rather call the election than wait for his government to fall and the election to follow he would rather stay on the front foot so i think the whole of britain ought to be on the alert for an early snap general election called perhaps right at the beginning

of september that might happen. these are the 1st to do this is a prime minister with a deadline like no other facing unprecedented opposition hoping his optimism is infectious charlie angela al-jazeera london. andrew simmons joins us live now from westminster non-jury the brussels have made that position very clear that this was a joy agreement was negotiated not directly with terry's in may but it was a deal with the u.k. itself so how has or is johnson's performance then gone down with here. well it's gone down very badly you know has to be said michel barnier the chief negotiator for the e.u. has been putting out a message to member states describing boris johnson's attitude as being combative and preparing the way for accepting the fact that he's not prepared to go along with the withdrawal agreement that's been rejected 3 times in

the parliament behind me michel barnier said that he would analyze any solution compatible with the existing withdrawal agreement be reaffirmed a commitment to rework the political declaration noted the strong reaction to many of the people in the house of commons and also carefully look at the further political and economic reactions in the u.k. some sort of code language there for watching out developments in the u.k. because there's really oh a bit of election fever going around right now not because people really want an election but because the conservative party is now in a very different format to weights ever been before it's in a sort of campaign mode with this cabinet this pro bracks it hard line cabernets almost a warning issue goblet despite. what boris johnson in his 2 hour session addressing

parliament and getting 129 questions talking on a range of issues and making lots of promises of social reform and other tax breaks and all sorts of aspects of political assurance but he is up against a big problem because europe isn't. it's a move you heard in charlie's report the comments made by young girls and exchanged phone numbers and talk a given and that was about it so it's a polite diplomatic language to say there was no common ground whatsoever. and of course we know that back home bars johnson definitely has his fashion of critics and enemies there in westminster he announced his new cabinet that shows a decisive shift to the right how are people judging his 1st full day in the job. well this this muted reaction in some circles and in particularly interesting is the reaction from the main opposition in the u.k.

the labor party you have. a sort of attitude towards that's just watch this go let's watch boris go forward boris johnson go forward and really step into a mess really suggestions from a liberal democrat democrat limit liberal democrats party to go for busy a vote of no confidence would turn down by labor party and every party would soon a go for waiting as i say for that moment now that's quite possible that in september or indeed in the run up to october the 31st which is the deadline for the that they deal that there could well be an election either caused by a vote of no confidence or boris johnson himself realizing that he's losing his majority is only got $33.00 majority of 3 with going down to 2 with a likely in the let it election result quite soon that there will be a situation where it would actually cause snap general election and that's what

a lot of people are thinking could happen now also in october that could be a return to the polls that's that's could you know into a complete unknown in the end with british politics so these are extraordinary times and once again as johnson is saying the northern ireland backstop which is the only guarantee the hours republican get to keep away from a hard border that's out he says and so any sort of halfway house is such as time limits and so on he doesn't want to know about that he wants an agreement that knocks that out completely and leaves him in a free trade situation which he as he was saying earlier would lead to a golden age in the u.k. well many fear that there could be something of a frozen age in the run up to anything happening thank you very much for now the latest from westminster andrew symonds. well world leaders we very eager to see what the u.k.'s foreign policy will look like on day and led government tensions with iran will put the prime minister's global person policy to the test

a diplomatic editor james bays has more now from the united nations on the changes and the challenges that lie ahead. geographically the u.k. may be a small island in northern europe but it retains a seat at the world's top table because of its economy and its history boris johnson is now taking over leadership of a country with that permanent seat on the u.n. security council as well as membership of the g. 7 of nato and who now the european union pm boris johnson couldn't have a more different style from his predecessor to reason may be what he's allowed an unpredictable they'll certainly be a change of tone could there be a change of policy to the 1st test will be iran the u.s. has been trying to apply maximum pressure on to iran could the u.k. with one of its tankers seized by iran more fully join in that effort now you may

see a bit of a transition here now as you have oil tankers being seized as you have drones being shot down that all may may change quite a bit here in the in the coming months i do find it was interesting that the iranians reached out very early and made a public statement congratulating boris johnson on his on his election so certainly there was an effort there to try to draw him away from the u.s. and others europe and the u.s. don't share the same approach to iran president trump pulled out of the iran nuclear deal for the european nations with china and russia a trying to keep it alive if the u.k. changes its position the deal will almost certainly die on other issues for example venezuela and the peace process between israelis and palestinians europe and the u.s. have very different perspectives could the new u.k. prime minister who has warm relations with president trump and whose keen to sign

a post trade deal with the u.s. realign his country. there are real concerns in brussels and here at the us about all of this and about the fact there's now i'm not the leader all the world stage known for his unpredictability jamesburg al-jazeera of the united nations i have more from london a bit later on in the program for you now back to nest in doha thanks very much mary and well u.s. senators have batch legislation that would block some arms sales to saudi arabia the foreign relations committee voted 13 to 9 with 3 republicans joining democrats and backing the measure many voiced concern the weapons could be used in the ongoing war in yemen the legislation which is expected to be opposed by a president trump would also impose sanctions on the saudi royal family but our correspondent she has returned she is live in washington with more on this she have talk us through the significance of all this on the merits now in congress given

trumps ever present veto. right and there's a real split now in congress between those who say that look we've done enough we've tried our best trump will always veto everything the saudis or the saudis let's just move on they're helped along of course by the enormous amount of lobbying money coming in millions of dollars from the saudis in the defense industry everything is now business as usual after a brief clip of the crucial g.'s jamal khashoggi is murder last year then there are those who say look truck will always veto our policy so let's just do something let's pass something that he won't veto that that shows our displeasure that shows congress is still involved in foreign policy and then there are those who say never congress is involved in foreign policy and show our anger about jamal khashoggi about the carnage in yemen and that's put up put out robust legislation to sanction the saudis and it was that debate between those last 2 groups in a room with democrats republicans all 3 of these groups but that debate within those last 2 groups that we saw on display this morning of the senate foreign relations committee the chairman saying that's something that's of

a bill that puts a few travel sanctions on some saudi officials calls for a review of u.s. saudi relations and the people who are victorious with those who are saying no let's have a bill that has an arms embargo on saudi arabia that stops in air refueling for saudi jets bombarding yemen and sanctions those responsible for the show gee we control the murder including possibly mohamed been someone itself so that is not what the senate foreign relations committee has decided upon the problem is the chair of the foreign relations committee was a proponent of that softly softly approach was on this made it quite clear he has no intention of trying to push for a senate vote on this bill mitch mcconnell could still push this to the senate it's up to him in the end but you know house cover not to there are several other initiatives underway that still could be some kind of meaningful sanction against saudi arabia perhaps by attaching sanctions to the defense spending bill that is coming up in a few months time giving trump the choice i k v tell your military spending or accept sanctions on saudi arabia that could be a possibility the other thing the other thing we have to watch out for though is

this is about more than saudi arabia now it's also about rip. public conservatives as well as democratic senators that control doesn't respect congress they're using tactics to try and give weapons to the saudi arabia so therefore see how that aren't good grows if trump and compare start the keyport overstepping the mark of a good grows you'll see mood or support from republicans to take some action even though they may not be that bold about saudi arabia anymore they're just they just want to flex the muscles on foreign policy of congress she have returns it watching those developments for us on capitol hill thank you. well libya's navy says at least 115 people are missing in a shipwreck off its coast around 140 were rescued and are being returned to libya libya's a hub for migrants many of whom trying to reach europe in risky boats u.n. agencies have repeatedly called for survivors not to be returned to libya because of the conflict in the country on charlie actually from the united nations refugee

agency has reacted to the sinking saying that today we have seen yet another tragedy on the mediterranean according to testimony from survivors it's estimated that some 150 people have died at sea which would make this the largest shipwreck on the mediterranean in 2019 this horrific event highlights once again the dire need for a shift in approach to the mediterranean situation and action is needed to save lives at sea and prevent people from getting on these boats in the 1st place by offering safe legal alternatives well earlier i spoke to lana del who's the spokesman for the international organization for migration and he says the latest shipwreck just continues a worrying trend in the mediterranean. there have been about 4000 people who've taken to see this year have been intercepted arrested and brought back suddenly typically put into detention which we are so it's really it's it is a 0 sum game for the migrant to say that they think they're going to try to get a better life they end up in the hands of smugglers usually quite often abused and

then if it you make it out of the house it brought back and in this case not picked up a drama about it most 300 people left and hans in wooden boat going to stand they were then put it to reduce on the high seas over which one of those seats has wooden boats it's under turns by the 150 people that's on land and the survivors such as they are managed to swim ashore but the numbers are particularly high dramatic we need clearly to have some stability in libya the problem is that there's a conflict going on and my recently come upon a loose game there used to make money for people to pay their parts it's quite often by being in indentured servitude in effect and then they're put in the house these are just not a happy situation the europeans turning away from her banning boats from rescue people are certainly not the way to go now members of sudan's opposition have called for martez across the capital khartoum and comes a week after

weeks after expressing more anger at planned military drills between south korea and the united states south korea and japan say 2 short range missiles were fired into the sea off the coast at one side south korea's defense ministry is to stop its tests well. enough korean government has been closely monitoring the related moves of north korea and we urge north korea to stop such actions that don't help to enforce relief tensions on the korean peninsula south korean government will step up its monitoring under us. and closely communicate regard with this well you'll remember that last month u.s. president held talks with north korean leader kim jong un during a surprise visit when he became the 1st sitting american president to set foot inside north korea bride now has more from seoul. officials in south korea and

also japan are analyzing data from this double missile launch working with their u.s. allies looking in particular at one of these missiles that traveled a total of 690 kilometers which they believe could be a new type of weapon with reports that possibly this missile has a guided capability and labeling it to avoid interception now if this is true then it means that north korea while they have certainly stopped nuclear testing on the launch of bigger intercontinental ballistic missiles are still developing their weapons systems it's a message that has been driven home with the release of photographs earlier this week of kim jong un the north korean leader visiting a submarine in a shipyard now it's not known whether this is a new submarine under construction of the north koreans claim or simply an older type of sub that is being refitted but the consensus among analysts is that it is

a submarine that is large enough to carry submarine launched ballistic missiles a technology that north koreans have been trying to develop over the last couple of years i think people are in south korea japan and the united states need to be more cars on the bar that inspection by condemning of the new type of submarine. test firing of short range of projectiles because if north korea acquires nuclear submarines they can launch nuclear ballistic missiles then it would be a game changer thursday's missile launch it seems to be an expression of north korean anger at upcoming exercises between south korean and u.s. forces in august and also showing its frustration that once again talks seem to have stalled even after the heightened hopes of the surprise meeting between donald trump and kim jong il. at the d.m.z.

barely a few weeks ago it is the fear of talks collapsing that has led to a guarded response from south korea saying that the launch of the missiles was a threat but not necessarily a provocation japan had a firm a response saying that if this does turn out to be ballistic missiles even though they were short range this does violate un resolutions and could and should possibly have consequences now temperature records are being shattered across western europe as the continent's wealth is in the 2nd heat wave of the summer the heat is on and from germany and even the u.k. where he is a town london broadcast center mariam how hard has it right now. do you know actually here in the u.k. we definitely haven't reached the highs that we have seen elsewhere in the region but it has been sweltering people here have been dealing with travel disruptions
