5:03 pm
the people who are close to him and the system maybe we can get to a solution is to me out of the political system after all you know just go to its box and stay there and leave to boring to learn if he wants to to win the challenge he has to see to with the protesters we've had and he has to respond to the demands of the people who are green cities since the 22nd of february this means that the born has to get a new government in your constitution and council. new election law and so on and so forth saw many things have to be changed and the algerians wanted this stinks to happened before the elections. now to another election we have been following closely in britain the conservative party has won by
5:04 pm
a landslide an election that's been called the u.k.'s most important vote and a generation boss johnson's party one of the biggest victory in 30 years on a promise to get frank's it done meanwhile labor leave the jammy corben plans to step down after his party's worst defeat in more than 8 decades or challenge reports. after his election triumph boris johnson performs the formalities of power in this country cleared streets expensive cars and a police escort to buckingham palace queen elizabeth the 2nd has asked him to form the u.k.'s next government the conservatives have secured their biggest majority since 1987 johnson and his supporters are jubilant my friends never ever wanted i think when we did it we did it we're told in our plan we we voted off we break the deadlock we ended the gridlock we smashed the roadblock and with this mandate and
5:05 pm
this majority we will be able to do what. you pay attention. he's very aware that this victory wouldn't have happened without many labor votes is whopping sides your hand may have quivered over the ballot paper as before you put your cross in the conservative box and you may intend to return to labor next time round. and if that is the case i am humbled that you have put your trust in me from the moment the exit poll predicted an unexpectedly large swing to the conservatives the tide flowed in johnson's favor thanks live valley in northern england became the 1st labor seat to fall the conservatives won there for the 1st time since 1950 was the trickle became a tolerance of working class former industrial heartland seats turning conservative
5:06 pm
blue. thank you very much labor figures look stunned at the catastrophe engulfing them leader jeremy corbyn his bowing to the inevitable he will not be in charge for much longer 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 take going forward it's been a bad night for the pro remain liberal democrats to their leader joe squints and unseated by the scottish national party in her constituency for millions of people in our country these results will bring dread and dismay and people are looking for hope. but some commentators worry about the tactics employed by the conservatives in this campaign boris johnson used all the tricks in the book and i guess it's worked i worry that every future political party will say that's the way
5:07 pm
to do it if you want to win and that actually over time will undermine our democracy and our ability to actually discuss big issues labor must now go through a period of deep and painful self-analysis corporatism is being tested twice and it's failed twice johnson's victory means the u.k. will almost certainly leave the e.u. by january 31st you can get breaks it but what kind of breaks in reality has barely begun. johnson's withdrawal agreement has a clear path free parliament but unless the threat of a no deal breaks it is to return he has to secure an e.u. trade deal before the brics it transition period finishes in a year trade deals that big usually take many times as long. as 0 london. and joining us live from westminster now promising johnson being asked by the queen to form the government will be interesting to see what it looks like nance given he has many supporters to choose from now. what year
5:08 pm
and clearly the one of the big things that happened overnight is that he has a whole new constituency of people who voted for him who have never done before the so-called red the wall the whole parts of the middle of england and the north the post-industrial parts of england. all of those are conservative and you heard in that report knowledge when he said your hand may have quivered before deciding to vote for me in the in the ballot room you know i think he's conscious now that there are all sorts of reasons why people voted for bricks and then voted conservative in this election that maybe to do with things like immigration but are also. to do with you know this is the the idea that staying in the european union did absolutely nothing for post-industrial england where they used to be enormous
5:09 pm
factories that employed thousands of people and made things during the industrial revolution 20th century and have all gone away and they but now blame the european union for this and they're looking at boris johnson and saying ok then if you were to do bricks it you would have to deliver a bricks it gives us something back to what we lost so there's talk about some of these things with their with dominic walsh from the think tank open open your what do you think he is a reason to think about that sort of post-industrial england what can he do to to say to those people ok i'm going to give you something that you don't have anymore i think it's important to remember that for a lot of these people in communities the vote was not really entirely about leaving the e.u. is about sort of sense of a sense of feeling left behind a sense of feeling powerless and obviously things like immigration as well but here is kind of sense that the the kind of political economy of you caving to london centric moving to kind of send more power more money as well to the region so you know and it was it was the rich places like london that voted labor was in there and you know and all the poor places for to conservatives to sort of inversion of
5:10 pm
what you'd expect exactly yes and it's kind of a sort of grand kind of realignment of the political map you see labor's only game which is a constituency that i live in in london and over the entire course of the night and you have sort of all these kind of places that have never voted conservative before going to labor and it's kind of we're going to see a very different politics in the 20 twentieth's i think and so for the last 10 years or so that the conservatives been in power is people stare at you all the way off of the heart of the banking crisis and and they turn that into a across the public public debt now there's only one investment sunday plying money into these places is that the strategy to appeal to these people to think i think is going to have to be there's going to have to be this kind of move away from austerity the source saw some of that rhetoric in the on the campaign on the campaign trail i think that's. one way to kind of keep this coalition of voters together because in some ways getting it done is a kind of one shot thing that you can only you want as a kind of way to unite voting coalition but it is also the case the voting is is
5:11 pm
a habit and some of these people yes they may they may think now there are only lending their vote to the conservatives become the next election are they really going to switch back to labor we don't know just a follow on the other states the negotiations with the european union and you've you've written a lot about this. is there any chance he can get a trade deal with the european union in the next 12 months just think i think he can i think it's possible yes i think it's possible he could negotiate a deal i think the different question is can he concluded deal in terms of ratifying and implementing it but fundamentally that's kind of a different point there's a difference between extending the transition period or the new transition period for more negotiations externally because you have a deal agreed but you need a bit more time to put it. down even if the negotiations are still going on. in some ways yes because getting because it means leaving the e.u. rather than kind of you that the future relationship is kind of a different question in one in one sense. there is
5:12 pm
a big thing to come actually leaving the e.u. will change the dynamics quite a lot and it is a significant milestone in this process or is that donna thank you very much indeed for that yes it's a it really is a moment of history for britain it's a new direction for the country. over the coming days and weeks somebody in the generally they are going to most certainly make sure that the u.k. leaves the european union thank you for that but the latest live in london let's take a closer look at the results it is the blue of the conservative party that's wept through the traditional labor party heartlands especially in the industrial era areas of the north of england and jeremy corbin's party reduced to those small pockets of red and scotland it was a decisive victory for the scottish national party taking several seats from the conservatives in wales the conservatives have made major gains. one neighbor saw it see it's reduced and in northern ireland supporters of a united ireland one of those who want to remain part of the u.k. for the 1st time since partition in 1921 while the scottish national party's
5:13 pm
nicholas sturgeon says the one means that there is enough support for scottish independence i don't want a conservative majority government but the fact that it's warts is going to be the position after this election underlays the importance of scotland having a choice of something different and you know i don't pretend that every single person in your city will necessarily support independence but that has been a storm indorsement in this election of scotland having a choice over their future of not having to put up with a conservative government that we didn't vote for and not having to accept life as a nation state the european union so that independence referendum that was very much at the heart of the same peace campaign that is a renewed refresh strengthened mandate for the. and as we touched on earlier there has been a change in political balance the northern ireland for the 1st time more m.p.'s
5:14 pm
from irish nationalist parties than pro british it was a bruising not for the democratic unionist party which has been backing boss johnson that used to hold the balance of power in westminster deputy leader nigel dodds lost his seat to the sion fame party which campaigns for a united ireland. now in less than an hour the us judiciary house judiciary committee reconvene to vote on articles of impeachment against u.s. president donald trump the committee debated the charges for around 14 hours on thursday house democrats are pushing to charge the president the busa power and obstruction of congress trumps accused of breaking the law by withholding aid to pressure ukraine and to investigating political joe biden let's bring in our white house correspondent kelly how good she is live for us in washington d.c. so i suppose they had enough off to 14 hours of debating amendments on thursday
5:15 pm
kimberly can we expect a vote today. yeah we can expect a vote out of the house judiciary committee as you point out there was a very long night of debate thursday evening the chair jerry navl around 11 pm local time saying let's take a pause let's pick up on friday 10 am local time so in just under an hour they will pick up it will move out of there and set the stage for the very dramatic moment that will take place next week that will be the vote in the house of representatives where it's a foregone conclusion that the u.s. president donald trump will be impeached by the democratic controlled body now in advance of that the u.s. president always trying to control the narrative manage the message he has been tweeting as tweeting all morning in the last couple of hours the latest ones coming in the last half hour pointing out how do you get impeached when you've done nothing wrong i have created jobs jobs jobs record stock market and jobs the u.s. president to highlight what he sees as the successes even as this body is
5:16 pm
conducting its constitutional oversight checks and balances and what they say in the articles of impeachment is an abuse of power and also obstruction of congress but the argument coming from the white house has been this is nothing compared to the charges that were leveled early on in the inquiry regarding this telephone call between the u.s. president and the ukrainian president where it's alleged the president leverage the power of his office in order to dig up dirt on his political rival former vice president joe biden they point out there is no proof of collusion extortion bribery some of the things that were pushed forward certainly very criminal in nature still we know how this vote is going to turn out the house of representatives it is going to be an impeachment of this u.s. president then it will set the stage for the senate trial that will take place in january and what we're seeing between the white house and republicans on capitol hill is a real difference of opinion about how that should play out the u.s. president wants to see his defense attorney out there and also
5:17 pm
a calling. witnesses witnesses like the son of former vice president joe biden who he believes there needs to be investigation about why when the u.s. president or former vice president was in office his son was sitting on a board of a ukrainian energy company even though he had no qualifications collecting a very hefty paycheck but the republicans on capitol hill say we're not going to do any of that at least not right now we want to see a swift trial to acquit the president but this president knowing the power of the media in the made for t.v. moments really pushing to try and have something much more dramatic like you'd see on a television courtroom drama it doesn't appear that's going to be the case but certainly the president pushing for that so leading to some difference in messaging and coordination between the white house and top republicans on capitol hill thank you for that committee live in washington d.c. now still ahead on the conversation a national dialogue on dialogue is set to begin in maadi and bringing peace to
