government the work is now being stepped up to make 2020 a year of prosperity and growth and hope and to deliver a parliament that works for the people thank you all very much and happy christmas thank you. you're listening there to a new prime minister johnson who's been reelected with a landslide landslide victory but knowledge majority for his parliament and he thanked the people who voted for him particularly the people who'd never voted conservative before and he also made the point of saying that it was a one nation government he said let the healing begin and we are going to unite and lever up let's bring in andrew symonds who is outside number 10 downing street so an attempt to we need to to put the divisions of the whole brics that process behind him in that speech. yes some might say boris johnson as you've never seen him before calmly laying out

a softer edge to everything well he does have a working majority a historical working majority now and can afford to do this but it's evident he is trying to get some sort of unity going having made this 2nd address to all of those voters who switch now natural allegiances from the labor party to the conservatives right the way across the breadth of the country not only did he talk about the one nation party that he believes in but he talked of the people's government which you can only imagine how that is being received by the defeated labor party and its leader jeremy corben talking of his sadness at what's happened and now suggesting that he will all the way through has said point blank that he will stay as leader until there is a replacement that will be down through the at any c. meeting in january but carrying on with with this with this speech. what the prime

minister said with his the pencils and wave it over the ballots in terms of those labor supporters who switched he thanked the supporters again and then he went on to actually approach to reach out. to the remain as those who want to stay in the european union from whatever party and he said that they are now is the moment for building a new partnership for. to have equals let the healing begin he said and then of course to the whole approach to the cash boost he's been promising for security for education for the health service for the infrastructure for information technology but the point is this that one has to look further ahead particularly with bricks and he said now is the time to put bricks it behind us and celebrate christmas to get away from the politics well the situation isn't the remain camped still putting out their messages war is this it says this is only

a war on scene warm of of bricks it got she dealing with bricks it and now there is this long hard job a colossal job to get a trade deal together we've already heard from the european union that more there is more time needed and one currency is this that boris johnson is going to find it incredibly hard to get a deal together to get a deal with the e.u. and all the other deals necessary before december 2020 some fear that they'll have to be a renegotiation of that deadline anderson thank you very much. barbara starr joins us live outside the u.k. parliament so britain has his majority at the scale of this that want to a surprise visit. well i think the polls had recently been showing that it was likely that the conservatives were going to get a majority but certainly when the exit polls were announced that 10 o'clock thursday evening here in the u.k.

it was a shock just how big that majority seemed to be and looking at the final results of the near final results $365.00 seats and $368.00 had been predicted so it was a surprise the exit polls that proved to be quite a accurate but let's speak now to chris hopkins from 7 to com or is at the polling and research agency now obviously you have been crunching the numbers for quite a while leading up to this election of 1st of all were you surprised by just how big the majority was and where it came from i don't think so i think what we were always saying is that a very large majority was plausible i think from the whole campaign we always saw the fact that there was almost certainly going to be a conservative majority it was in the last few days that we fought the very small possibility of a hung parliament but i think generally speaking because of the start of the campaign were very large late and it didn't really fall away at that much very briefly if you can we just had boris johnson speak it's now a very broad church really the conservative party what did you make of what he said is he going to be able to pull everyone together i mean that is definitely his

challenge he has created an electoral coalition that the conservative party haven't seen possibly since the eighty's or maybe even ever they are now representing working class constituencies that have traditionally been labor in the old industrial towns rely on mining as cetera i think he's got a lot to do of the next 5 years reasonable to get those votes but keep those votes rather the next election but you know that's what we sell to do and i think the electoral ones that really is shifting in the u.k. because the party clearly on representing those people anymore because they don't want to vote for the missed time so was it was shocking to see labor constituencies that have been voting labor while never voted conservative on others labor for decades to switch do you think they switched to the conservatives or do you think the personality of boris johnson himself played a big role in that i think a little bit of both. think that you know a lot of the white working class in the party in leave voting areas that would vote labor i think they were dissatisfied with the labor position on this thing that we

just saw with jeremy colvin i think that they were just as equally likely to go to the conservatives as maybe even the party was ended up doing is i'm not taking votes obviously away from labor from the labor party but if they want to go into the conservative party they took enough away from labor to allow the conservatives to come from the middle and take the city and then i think you know when the 1st seats to be announced last night was live valley i mean when that result came in and we saw the swing we knew exactly then that i was going to be basically bang on . it was you know there was a huge change in the electoral and i think that position 7 voted labor since 1980 so a real shock chris elkins are going to have to leave it there from 7 the congress thank you very much of course we'll be following reactions and developments from here in westminster for the next few hours now though back to you thank you very much and that's it from tim london for now back to judy in. lauren thanks so much will there's been a vote by the house judiciary committee we're going to head straight to the u.s. we've got our white house correspondent kimberly how standing by in just a 2nd but 1st let's. find out exactly what's happened she's live on capitol hill

and heidi where we act in this poll that's what's happened. julie so just minutes ago the house judiciary committee made history once again by approving these articles of impeachment against president donald trump making him only the 4th president in u.s. history to have a impeachment proceeding progressed this far against him what are these 2 articles they are abuse of power and obstruction of congress both related to trump's conduct with ukraine in which he asked the president of ukraine to launch political investigations into trump's own domestic rivals in the u.s. and the accusation is that trump was withholding u.s. security aid to ukraine as well as a white house visit to its president as leverage so these 2 vote was that just happen on both articles passed strickly down partisan lines with 23 democrats

voting to approve them 17 republicans voting against and today's vote came very quickly in the morning after this panel reconvened after yesterday's marathon debate session that stretched more than 14 hours with republicans attempting to delay really what was the inevitable because of the numbers here but not able to get that vote passed last night instead holding it 1st thing this morning so what does this mean now well next week this sets up the process for the full house to consider these same articles and then vote whether to approve them again democrats have the majority in the house of representatives so that vote is expected to. passed which would be the mechanism that officially formally impeach is president trump from there we are expecting to have a senate trial coming in the new year where republicans hold

a majority in their majority leader has said that there he sees quote no chance that his members would vote to convict thus no chance that trump would be removed from office. i know that the democrats have been accused of putting haste before justice by trying to get things done so quickly here and i wonder if you could reflect on that in mosul where is the american public at all this process. right well one of the arguments that this panel and its democratic chairman decided to postpone the vote until this morning was that to in order to not make a hasty vote because they knew the gravity of this happening democrats claim that they're going forward with this impeachment with no levity no happiness that this is a very somber occasion that no one wants to do to attempt to remove a u.s. president republicans have said though that this entire process has been rushed

there are witnesses among trump's inner circle who have not been compelled to give their 1st hand testimony that's because the president has banned them innocence from doing so democrats have the option to contest that in court but they made the calculation that because a court ruling the final ruling from the supreme court would take months if not more than a year by which time they believe that trumps misconduct in requesting election interference from ukraine and democrats from other countries as well they say that's just simply too much time and there's too much at stake because in november of course is the next presidential election and democrats have made. the case that they had to push forward quickly now without getting all of the court rulings that may have allowed them to talk to more witnesses because they want to get this done before the election before in their words trump has

a chance to cheat again as far as the other question about where the american public stands well throughout this inquiry there's been a little change in public opinion polls have shown a pretty even split 5050 people who oppose the impeachment and those who are in support of it and that's also strictly down party lines the division between voters who tend to vote democrat and those who tend to vote republican this week though there were 2 national polls that the president and his defenders have been citing which did find us a slim majority of americans just over 50 percent who said that they are now opposed to the impeachment read into that what you will because there are still other polls that have contradictory information but what is clear what's safe to say is that the american public is deeply divided on this question and even though we've seen these months of hearings and now this historic vote that appears to not

have shifted people's opinion as at all really did you there live from washington d.c. let's go now to our white house correspondent kimberly hi there kimberly so ed trump's been pretty vocal hasn't he what what do you say you've been saying and you think that might change now that this 1st major step has been taken. the president has been vocal throughout this impeachment inquiry he often tries to get ahead of the narrative today no exception well we've had no official reaction since this historic vote that took place the judiciary committee certainly in advance of it the president was tweeting and one of the tweets he had starts how do you get impeached when you have done nothing wrong a perfect call have created the best economy in the history of our country rebuilt our military fix the v.a. choice cut taxes regulations protected the 2nd amendment created jobs jobs jobs and so much more crazy as centrally the president making the argument highlighting

a checklist there of what he sees as the accomplishments of his presidency thus far trying to create a contrast between his agenda and that of the democrats who have been trying to remove him from office but there's no question this signals that this president sees this as a stain on his personal legacy and this is a president we know who is notoriously thin skinned expect this will not sit well in fact already we know that there is an effort by this white house to try and shape the senate trial the president not only has he been pushing for something swift to happen almost immediately seeming intent on trying to clear his name something that is being pushed back on by the top republican in the u.s. senate mitch mcconnell but he's also looking to call witnesses he wants to get out information regarding his political rival former vice president joe biden calling potentially his son hunter biden who is alleged if they were did sit on the board

of a ukrainian energy company for which he was paid large sums of money well the former vice president was in office these are things that the president in fighting form is trying to get out he is getting pushback from members of his own party expect that this will move to the senate where it's likely to be a very quick trial in order to try and acquit the president's name but. again the president trying to shape this is the often does he's a reality t.v. star president he sees this is the ultimate drama in trying to frame his legacy under his charms kimberly how could there live from washington d.c. kimberly thank you the united nations says it's concerned india's new citizenship law is quote fundamentally discriminator university students protesting in the capital new delhi were confronted by police the new law grant citizenship to persecuted minorities from neighboring countries but it excludes most dogs. and the indian and japanese leaders cancelled their summit following violent protests

hello winter is churning through the night fairly regularly from west to east the last florida is producing a bit of snow. there one that's falling as rain or snow in iraq and iran the next one is gathering the rain has been particularly heavy in lebanon. in syria and it still is on saturday the line is rather more concentrated in northern syria and in turkey and then to the east looking fine little cloudy maybe in kuwait the whole thing churns through and doesn't do much further the clouds that extends through azerbaijan and into the caspian we leave sunday as a quiet day with the next low churning itself up giving showers to egypt and maybe something israel south of all this on the cloud does produce rain all thunderstorms every now and again this is no exception you see the move from west to east in the last 24 hours in the next 24 hours the cloud itself is just gathering temperatures

are reasonably ok 26 in their harbor the clouds enough to bring you a thunderstorm quite possibly on sunday strip but the most active weather has gone sour with the sun in southern africa and been some pretty big rains recently in south africa in the next 24 hours or so that's relatively quiet. but the last thing the president said to you about impeachment when you last spoke to him for i. think it's not a. really damning allegations on the web. how worried are you that the conditions are still like for another i think they are right join me maddi house and i put up from questions to my special guests and challenge them to some straight talking political debate here on al-jazeera. when the news breaks. when people need to be heard. and the story needs to be told.

145000 prisoners under its care with exclusive interviews. and in-depth reports are you going out of the project come out use iraq as teams on the ground what's the story through right here to bring you mean relieved we need documentaries and live news. welcome back you're watching al-jazeera a quick reminder of our top stories this hour the u.s. has did issue a committee has voted to finalize articles of impeachment against president donald trump chums accused of withholding aid to ukraine to pressure it into investigating

his political rival told by. thousands of people protesting across algeria after abdul majeed tbone was declared the winner of thursday's presidential election then was a former minister of the government of abdullah sees beautifully. the u.k. prime minister has secured a historic election victory beating the left wing opposition i'm promising to end 3 years of political paralysis boris johnson says he's formed a one nation government which will focus on bracks said on the n.h.s. let's get more now on the fallout from that election in the u.k. let's go back to lauren taylor in london. thanks judy well as we said boris johnson vowed to get it done and parliament must pass legislation needed to put his withdrawal deal into effect earliest m.p.'s in the lower house can begin debating this is the friday before christmas the bill is expected to pass easily because of

the conservative majority then the upper house that's the house of lords is expected to sit between christmas and the new year the european parliament also has to ratify the agreement and is expect to do so at some point in january this has to wrap up by generally the 31st which is when the u.k. will leave the e.u. but it's not over yet johnson will then need to negotiate a trade deal with the e.u. before the end of the transition period in december 2025 that could be extended if the government wants to avoid a no deal exit let's get reaction from brussels none of the joins us live so out of a viewing this johnson in the e.u. . leaders have wrapped up today's summit their last session was focused on discussing the results of the u.k. election election as you can imagine and breaks it in what comes next and there's no doubt there is a real sense of relief here amongst those e.u. leaders not because they necessarily want the u.k. to leave the european union in fact most of them have said quite the opposite save

the past few years but because now there is a real sense of clarity e.u. leaders now feel that they know exactly which direction the u.k. wants to go in and they can move this whole breaks it's a process forward now we heard from the new e.u. council we also heard from the commission several other leaders and they basically have the same message they want britain to get all now and for the u.k. parliament to ratify the withdrawal agreement as soon as possible they then looking at the 31st of jerry that's the date of course that person is expected to leave the european union after that it is a very keen to get on and start trading trade negotiations with the united kingdom they know those negotiations might take a very long time indeed even though boris johnson has said that he would like them wrapped up by the end of 2020. into her butler thank you very much indeed a scottish national party made huge gains across scotland in the most dramatic

result the s.n.p. unseated liberal democrat leader winston in a constituency in central scotland while preparing for a t.v. interview party to nicholas sturgeon was seen cheering and celebrating when she found out that one of her candidates had defeated swenson in the seat of dunbartonshire east sturgeon is demanding a 2nd scottish independence referendum. alive for us in edinburgh so how is it take it taking form that kind of desire for a 2nd referendum. well lauren clearly the 1st minister nicholas sturgeon claiming an increased mandate for a 2nd independence referendum with 47 out of the 59 westminster seats representing scotland she certainly has a case to argue and she has been pointing out at a press conference that we attended. in the last couple of hours here in edinburgh . that the picture here is exactly the opposite that the conservatives are going

backwards here they've gained seats in england here they've done worse than some people expected the s.n.p. has surged not quite to the levels which were called a landslide back in 2015 but still very much the winners here and of course scotland was a majority remain nation they voted by 62 percent in the brics that referendum to state in the european union what she's now brandishing is the fear the prospect of either a heart breaks it as people call it or a no deal breaks it at the end of next year if there is no trade deal sorted by vain shows her party is saying that they are the guarantors of scotland's economic prosperity they are hoping that all of that concern over bricks it will further their nationalist cause now at the moment the state says that it's westminster that has to pass legislation to allow another referendum to happen boris johnson's not

entertaining that idea but next week nicolas to. publish what he's calling a blueprint for how the powers should be handed back to scotland a lot of people here agree but it's by no means unanimous people are saying that it will be longer term perhaps in a few years time what they've gained the real momentum to push again for that vote . thank you very much. in northern ireland they conservatives former partners they do you have suffered heavy losses so you go fast. the election results have delivered a victory for pro irish nationalist parties who for the 1st time in history a sending representatives to westminster that the unionist parties particularly hard hit has been the d p l partners with the conservative policy in a confidence and supply arrangement of course underlining this election has been about one thing bracks it there now is certainly it may not be what everybody wants

but least we know the direction we're going but i'm happy with how well that opinion expressed relief at the results let's not forget that northern ireland voted to remain in the 2016 referendum course that is because brics that itself underlines the very fragile nature of northern ireland's status and the implications that it could have for its security and also for trades but the biggest concern for northern ireland is that we could be looking at problems on the streets. coming from both sides but i think i think this this has been a bright nationalists and i don't really think they curve very much part of the current or 2 for me and i'm doing all of this is the fact that the northern irish assembly has not been sitting for nearly 3 years and that's a complicating matters as the u.k. exits the european union already there of course in the shin fein leadership for

a port a poll on the status of northern ireland making perhaps the idea of the union and a possible break up of it a reality. there's a victory in scotland and the losses faced by the northern ireland that's when i was just talking to appraise fears that the u.k. could be split as you mentioned calls for scottish independence a growing or some say northern ireland may eventually unite with the republic of ireland for more let's speak to john ryan he's an expert on europe at the london school of economics thanks for being with us so do you think this is a victory for boris johnson in this way is likely to speed. break up of the of the u.k. . yes i think it would too because i think that. we're going to be moving towards a very difficult negotiation team period where i feel that maybe they will come back to the mantra of. no deal breaks it is better than a bad deal and if we go to say i know that i think northern ireland and

scotland were being question and there would be demands for a vote of poland in northern ireland there would be definitely as there is that today a demand for referendum in scotland for independence and aside from the issues like like independence what one former civil servant has warned that. the thing's a definition when you deal with things like subsidies for agriculture and and so on if after brics it if these things are decided in the various places like in northern ireland scotland and england you could have divisions that nit pick from one farmer in one part of the union up against another farmer in a different meaning is that is that something you think is a is a concern yes yes because i think that's a very good point because. we leave the european union at some stage the subsidies that a lot of farmers are getting out of a moment will dry up and that is the british state going to actually step in and

it's a real worry no for nolen corner quite a lot the farming communities there that they you know they will be in very serious trouble and similarly in n n in scotland and other parts in england than in wow so i think that is a very good point by the civil servant especially of the subsidies for the farming communities i think that would be something that boris johnson and his government need to address fairly rapidly and i noticed that johnson did to use the term one nation conservatives repeatedly this morning and also in the news that again this afternoon your speech is that in an awareness of the kind of the jitters within these parts of the country or is that just a term that is kind of designed to be inclusive because he has been defined it period. well i think it's a rather strange way to describe his government and his party because as you know quite a lot of people were dismissed from the party and ran as independents or left the

party and didn't run as candidates so i would say that the party is not in the old sense one nation party anymore it's quite to the right and there are not many centrists in that poncey i need some so one nation if he's talking about the united kingdom that he hasn't been looking at the results in scotland and northern ireland john ryan thank you very much indeed thank you and that's it for none of us are back to julian day. now and thank you now un investigators. have serious human rights abuses during anti-government demonstrations un blame some awful killing for 4 of the 26 deaths during recent unrest well it's a had no way from this story and back to washington would listen to every man blair you can see him there at the podium he's the chair of the house judiciary committee for the democrats let's have a listen and. day is

a solemn and said day for the 3rd time in a little over a century and a half the house judiciary committee has voted articles of impeachment against the president for abuse of power and obstruction of congress the house will act expeditiously thank you general. that was an incredibly short statement there from jerry possibly one of the shortest i've ever heard just dig plains you where that was coming form that was a panel has approved those articles of impeachment against president donald trump and that was jerry maguire just coming out and saying look it's a somber day and we've agreed to move forward with the process of impeachment we'll talk to our correspondent and i did you cast a little bit later but let's go back to our story there that we moved away from so

as we were saying you and investigators are accusing police in chile of serious human rights abuses during anti-government demonstrations the u.n. is blaming on lawful killing for 4 of the $26.00 deaths during recent unrest investigators documented dozens of cases of torture and sexual violence by security forces and criticized the firing a ban to buy guns that left nearly $350.00 chileans with severe injuries are latin america italy sea and human joins us now live from some here hi there lucy so what more does this report allege. there is a long long list of accusations and of evidence that's presented by the united nations that indicates that that consistent and persistent human rights violations have been taking place over the last 7 weeks mainly taken mainly. in the hands of the riot police and police in general detention illegal detentions as you mentioned

torture women have protected the police stations and girls even forced to strip and to get down on the ground all kinds of rather gruesome. would have all of our humiliations as well as excessive use consistently of force by the riot police not just against protesters and the u.n. report says that they can't that the police is not to distinguish the. between the violence and the peaceful protests but also just against bypasses anybody was just on the street can be shot by pellets or by tear gas and also by the water cannon which happens to have acid in it and so it over the last few weeks there have been nagging reports of people giving burns very serious burns from this so all of this is just coming on top of 2 other international human rights reports from amnesty international and human rights watch that paint

a very very bad picture indeed of chile under democracy and you see a bed pinera as promised what he described is these deep reforms to peace process of calls but at this stage to people have any confidence that these reforms will happen and do you think this report from the u.n. can make any difference. well that's a very interesting question because this time the police was ready for the report this is the 3rd report very very damning indeed and they came out just as it was about to be made public to announce that 4 generals in charge specifically of special forces and of keeping public order were being sent into early retirement 8 policemen have now been expelled from the force and we put be put on trial for human rights violations and they're also talking about buying new equipment water cannon they're even changing the name of the special forces but if this doesn't really change the substance of the way that they are acting it will clearly do no

good at all and a lot of people are saying that what needs to change is the police force from the very top but in other words general my you are also the director of the police so far though the president who is in the palace that you see behind me is refusing to force him to resign or to fire him seem human there live with the latest on the story from santiago to see a thank you. now in libya there's been financing near tripoli airport between forces loyal to warlord khalifa and government troops and it's almost a television announcement by have on thursday where he called for a decisive battle for the capital after his based in eastern libya ordered the offensive to seize tripoli in april but his forces have been largely confined to the i'm scared since then. normally remark about half the amount we announced the decisive battle in the advancement towards the heart of the capital to set it free will break its chain hostages and spread happiness in the hearts of its people tripoli will return to the historical liked it once was becoming

a capital for coach we will raise the flag of victory throughout squares closing the pages of injustice misery and defeat with victory we are now to the birth of a new era so advanced now advanced and now advance our heroes the united states a top spy will be given one month so formally declare whether saudi crown prince mohammed bin solomon was responsible for the murder of journalist jamal khashoggi because shoji was killed at the saudi consulate in istanbul in october last year the head of the cia told senators in a closed door meeting that the spy agency is convinced it was ordered by the crown prince this week the u.s. house of representatives passed a bill requiring the director of national intelligence to officially declare been deemed responsible well the bill is expected to be approved by the senate next week saudi arabia is reported to have held secret talks with iran in an attempt to ease

tensions the wall street journal called some name saudis is saying the kingdom is trying to avoid additional risk to its oil dependent economy iran denied saudi and u.s. accusations of being behind drolma rocket attacks in september the damage caused temporarily halted half of saudi aramco oil. and there are reports that the kingdom's crown prince mohammed bin salman pressured wealthy saudi families to buy shares in iran calls record breaking public offering the newspaper says the we are trying to set the share price quote at every turn rather than leave it to the markets or more one column is head of policy analysis at the arab center for research and policy studies and he said we aren't as we realize the u.s. pressure alone won't stop the threat of a rainy in a tux. i think the september attack was a turning point in my opinion in terms of saudi arabia thinking about revising its foreign policy especially concerning iran and other many issues of course in the

region i think the saudis they came to realize that it's very difficult better haps to rely on the united states because they expected the administration to take a tougher position on iran especially after the attack on iran. on september saw that the saudis actually did realize that the americans are not willing to engage in any sort of military activities against the iranians unless they have their national interest are directly affected by the. iranians so from that time i believe they started this sort of. trying to approach iranians and in fact that in a lot of these they did also exactly the same after that after that attack saw. the saudis right now are trying to ease the tension with the iranians because that would have served their interest much more than increasing the tension with them.
