8:00 am
addressed by you took a listen what does the proposal of a spin for a couple on you know we meet with global newsmakers and talk about the stories that matter. it does look as though this one conservative government has been given a. new mandate. to get it done. predictions of an emphatic victory for boris johnson's conservative party giving him the power to push through bracks it. this is obviously a very disappointing night for the labor party. a crushing defeat for jeremy called me in who says he won't fight another election as labor's leader.
8:01 am
hello and welcome to al-jazeera has extended coverage of the u.k. election results on martine denis at global headquarters in doha also coming up. mass protests in algeria against an election where all 5 candidates have links to the outfit president. a parting cleaver a mere miles leader for the world's top court to throw out a case of genocide against the rectangle. the british prime minister boris johnson says it looks as though his conservative government has a powerful new mandate to deliver breaths it official results from thursday's very to still coming in but the at 6 at said polls are indicating that the conservatives are on course to win their biggest majority in decades and that would give mr johnson crucial control of parliament to push through britain's divorce from the
8:02 am
european union. i don't want to tempt fate because clearly lots of results are still coming in and we're still really dealing with projections but at this stage it does look as though this one nation conservative government has been given a powerful new mandate. to get rich done. not just to get pretty done but to unite this country and to take it forward and to focus on the priorities of the british people well the main opposition labor party is expected to end up with less than 200 seats losing many in its traditional heartland jeremy corbyn the leader admits it's been a disappointing night on also make it clear that i will not lead the party in any future general election campaign i will discuss with our party to ensure there is a process now of reflection on this result and on the policies that the party will
8:03 am
take going forward and i will lead the party during that period to ensure that discussion takes place and we move on into the future. well the exit polls conducted by u.k. broadcasters suggest that the conservatives will get around an $86.00 seat majority with a total of $368.00 seats labor's expected to get $191.00 which would be their worst result since the $930.00 s. and in scotland the scottish nationalists there predicted to win $55.00 seats out of $59.00 that's nearly the entire. lot of discussions things available now the liberal democrats are traditionally the 3rd largest party they're expected to win maybe 13 seats and its leader gerry swinson has lost her own sea for millions of people in our country. these results will bring dread and dismay
8:04 am
and people are looking for hope i still believe that we as a country can be warm and generous inclusive and open and that by working together with our nearest neighbors we can achieve so much more. liberal democrats will continue to stand up for these values that are liberal movement openness fairness inclusive and see we will stand up for hope. well let's go live now to westminster to the heart of london where parliament is of course our correspondent there is lawrence knee and with their it seems out a majority of seats having counted it looks very much as a very exit polls are going to be borne out in reality and a majority of boris johnson's conservative. yeah yeah so
8:05 am
let's just go for the headline sin in the simplest terms absolutely tremendous night for boris johnson rice at the top end it must be of conservative aspirations as to what they were going to achieve on the night because if you before the exit poll is still been some talk about it could still be on parliament now it would george be more than 80 seats and can do exactly what he wants and so in terms of the message the strategy the simplicity particularly get bricks it done absolutely resonated and they've smashed through the labor heartland in the middle of england in the north of england taking constituencies in some places which have never ever voted conservative before so a huge triumph number one for boris johnson equally an absolute disaster for jeremy corbin and his brand of socialism a total rejection of the things that he stood for and frankly of him personally
8:06 am
moral all that in a minute but as well as that and this is probably the biggest thing of all it's the end of the road for those people who were trying to stop bricks it bricks it will now happen under boris johnson at the end of january and lots of questions now about what bricks it done actually means here's a look at boris johnson's victory and what it means going forward for the united kingdom. everybody not to know you know what i mean thank you very johnson's outright victory in this election effectively breaks the deadlock in parliament it allows johnson's government to pass any legislation it wants because he has a majority of. his own unlike his predecessor reason may you think. cats will taste sweet because it means they'll be able to get a deal on the u.k. leaving the european union through parliament it still has to get voted through the lower house but with a new intake of can be signed up to his deal there's no chance of the sort of
8:07 am
dissent disagreements that's blighted the last tour. but it isn't to say the johnson's new deal is popular or without its problems even if the u.k. does now formally leave the european union on january 31st next year the current brics it deadline the negotiations then start in earnest between the 2 sides over what a new trade deal will look like as well as the rights of e.u. citizens in the u.k. and british citizens in europe and the clock continues to tick down with another new deadline johnson has insisted the u.k. will not negotiate anything with the e.u. after the end of 2020 and if there's no trade deal by then which looks impossibly unlikely then the infamous no deal bricks which nobody wants comes right back into play so it's never been tried before to try to make a trade deal that she makes to 2 nations or 2 regions further apart in terms of
8:08 am
trade is trying to do the easiest way probably of making a trade deal within this 11 month period the bar stanton said himself is actually to remain really aligned to the rules and to remain a sort of rule take for the. ruled out in the campaign but it may be the only way to get a trade deal over the line is to have something a lot like the sort of breaks in the labor's talking about during this campaign rather than the sort of canada. it's been talking about since 2006 i make my statement as well as all that the scottish government will now i just hate even more strongly for another referendum on leaving the u.k. in staying in the european union and bitterness in northern ireland towards johnson's deal has soured relations hugely all in all 2020 promises to be not the end of the brics it story is johnson suggests but just another fork in the road. ok self promise you some more on the on the car crash that has turned out to be
8:09 am
jeremy colvin's campaign he gave his speech when he when he sings in north london insults about having a period of quiet reflection before working out what to do next up actually promise you there's a vast number of people in the labor party you think there's no need for quiet reflection at all in that he needs to go. on and you used to advise tony blair when he was prime minister to the need to go now he needs to go and go now and should be going this morning this is a decisive feat for jeremy corbyn and corben isn't it was his manifesto his ideas last election he was left when lost this election he's got more left wing and he's lost even worse the lesson is really really clear the country doesn't want a labor party led by jimmy corven or in the shape of jeremy corbin his ideas in terms of things that people have some through it call been. anti semitism friend nicolas maduro in in venezuela an evo morales in bolivia supporter of let him it puts in a marxist 'd all this sort of thing which of those things do you think really
8:10 am
resonates with with with the traditional labor vote in england i think if you take all those together what you have is somebody who doesn't believe in britain who is unpatriotic and i think that really does want to get all taken together cares about foreign policy cares about foreign dictators doesn't care about british systems when they're attacked by putin on our soil tied back again i think to support the ira he starts for to basically patched his i'm security the nation that all came together not our guy and he saw labor voters in traditional working class areas come out and vote solidly for the tory party switch straight across not just in the in the midlands where there's always been marshall seats but up in the northeast and former mining areas so a decisive defeat for jeremy corbin and it's a bit goes down to character what people thought about his character and in terms of the brics a strategy. as well you know just like take back control that was get bricks it
8:11 am
done you know any fool could understand it you couldn't get your head around that policy for most people it was impossible isn't it negotiates and you leave the ill and then campaign for him in a say against in some sort of random it didn't work at all did it because he seemed for a conviction politician many people that he just didn't have the courage of their convictions on bricks yes i think that's absolutely right i think if i think he's a commission politician so it is not change his mind says the 1970 s. people knew he was against a common market if he's the leader why is party not against it. if the issue in the country is so clear why can't you sum up what your offer is for the many not the few is a very different imprecise compared to get it done what is the outcome what is the impact i think there was is it in the last week there was a scatter gun there were there was a hail mary pass after hail mary pass to try to find a policy that could buy some votes by just a just one or 2 as a final question clearly the other thing about coleman is he just didn't have that sort of charismatic glow that the optics that some
8:12 am
a lot blair had who takes over from call been there to. offer the labor party and its supporters something that they can see the biggest character the biggest new voice the person most untouched by all of this mess is just philips and birmingham she says as she sees it she's very funny she's very sharp got the common touch she's an outsider in many ways similar to jeremy corrigan when he won the election for leadership back in 2015 so i think that's what the party's decisive break with the thinking with the leadership with the personalities the policies that brought us to this point are you what you do it years in the wilderness now. do you think 101010 years is hard to come back and one cycle from 199 seats are fewer than 2 under water we end up with so unless conservatives learn to being in charge for 20 years you think based on that because in 10 years or. it's entirely possible the only thing you can say is the pollock politics at the moment moves at such speed
8:13 am
that even though you got this but big majority something may happen and the thing is the country is now boras says he has to do brick said find he's got to then run the country's got to actually address he's going to have so many tory m.p. sitting in labor seats they'll be asking for the same things investment in their communities investment in their always new jobs if you can answer in 5 years we know who people move people are very very very consumerist in a way so these voters may not stick to the tories in the same way they stuck to labor for generations to return to cuba very much for for all of that so martin it's all it's a piece of history frankly in it really is in modern britain a fork in the road in terms of the direction the u.k. wants to take scotland as i said in that little report absolutely furious this morning london absolutely furious because it wants to stay in the european and northern ireland too but it's england that voted for brics it overnight. hey lawrence thank you very much indeed for that and it does seem now that there is
8:14 am
a confirmation across the board that the conservatives have won with a majority in this general election that has been described as a generational result that will affect fair many people for so many years to come that's a scene outside 10 downing street we do expect boris johnson the prime minister to come and make a statement within the coming minutes if not hours we'll keep you right across the developments of course but it's being called the election has been won by boris johnson's conservative party. but let's have a look at the rest of the day's news now including. these 2 people killed in northeastern india in the protests grow over a new citizenship law that excludes muslim. chile's president survives a bid to force him from office in the weeks of violent protests.
