a brief moment of "where do i go supersonic airliner. now", as the rest of the room got to its feet. a thumping majority for mrjohnson — it was one of the most vivid symbols a knowingly controversial pick. of the violence and hatred that tore apart the state of yugoslavia. there will be people around the place who will question but now, a decade later, the wisdom of your decision it‘s been painstakingly rebuilt and there may be some people and opens again today. here who still wonder quite what they have done. there's been a 50% decrease in sperm no—one party, no one person has a monopoly of wisdom, quantity and an increase but if you look at the history in malfunction of sperm of the last 200 years of this party's existence you will see unable to swim properly. that it is we conservatives who have had the best insights. thousands of households across the country are suspiciously quiet this lunchtime as children bury their noses in the final instalment of harry potter. talking as a tory campaigner complete with gags, the prime minister with the most serious of tasks from tomorrow. at this pivotal moment in our history, we again have to reconcile two sets of instincts. two noble sets of instincts. between the deep desire for friendship and free trade and mutual support in security and defence between britain this is bbc world news. and our european partners, the latest headlines: and the simultaneous desire, equally deep and heartfelt, for democratic self—government borisjohnson‘s preparing to become in this country. britain‘s next prime minister

after winning the conservative party leadership election. world leaders offer their congratulations, including president trump. but the new head of the european commission warns of challenging times ahead. brexit‘s not impossible, he says, it can and must be done. well, i look at you this the father of one of the crew morning and i asked myself, do you look daunted? of a british—flagged tanker held do you feel daunted 7 by iran has told the bbc i don't think you look remotely daunted. the people of this country are trusting in us to do it, he feels his son has become and we know that we will do it. a pawn between countries. dijo pappachan is a cook on the stena impero. from the family home in kerala, his father said the family on the threshold of number 10, still entertaining this crowd. was concerned, but that the indian i know some wag who has already government had told them it would intervene. pointed out that "deliver, our middle east correspondent unite, and defeat" was not a perfect tom bateman reports from the uae port city of fujairah acronym for an election campaign on the strait of hormuz. since unfortunately it spells dud, but they forgot the final e, it was from the waters here in fujairah that the crew of 23 my friends — e for energise! set off on friday. now, they are mostly indian nationals on the british—flagged stena impero. instead though of their routine journey they were expecting, the crew pretty quickly heard on the ship‘s radio a sudden order to change course and soon, iranian revolutionary guards were fast—roping from a helicopter

onto the deck of the ship. and i say to all of the doubters, dude, we are going to energise the country, we are going to get brexit done. one of the crew is in a new spirit of can do, 26—year—old dijo pappachan. we are going to unite this amazing country. the campaign is over he‘s a chef on the ship and the work begins. and at his family home in southern thank you all very much. applause. he's the master here now. india, they got a distressing call. his father, tv pappachan, the new leader arriving to meet the party troops says they were phoned in the middle at conservative headquarters. of the night. a victory for a man whose political career has been down almost translation: we feared as much as up. something bad was happening. we told our daughter, who is younger than him, we were all worried. a triumph of animal spirits over analysis, perhaps. they said the ship was captured. borisjohnson‘s big sell — belief. you can't question mrjohnson‘s they were talking about the ship enthusiasm for the pursuit of ambition nor his promise deviating from its route. to making the most of brexit — the troops came from the helicopter. cleaning up the mess he helped to create. the family says the first tv but as he was cheered by tory mps pictures to emerge of the crew in the commons this afternoon, brought them some relief. they all know a sumptuous turn of phrase, a love of controversy and power, won't be enough on their own. translation: now the iranians have released pictures laura kuenssberg, bbc and we have seen those. he is a messman on the ship. news, westminster. we saw him working on it. world leaders have been

congratulating mrjohnson. others are also there, president trump was one all sitting together. of the first, declaring from those visuals we saw "he'll be great". we have a really good man that they are all healthy enough. is going to be the prime minister of the uk now, borisjohnson. britain has demanded the release applause. good man. of the ship that now has an iranians he's tough and he's smart. flag flying over its deck. they say britain trump, tehran demands the release they call him britain trump. and people are saying of a tanker carrying iranian oil, that's a good thing. they like me over there. seized by british royal marines, off gibraltar three weeks ago. translation: it is between countries. he might have become a pawn in it. not only my son, all those who are in the ship should be saved. i speak for all of them. the more time it takes, that's what they wanted. it creates more anxiety for those that's what they need. applause. that's what they need. who are captured as well as all he'll get it done. boris is good, he's of us who are related to them. going to do a good job. borisjohnson has made brexit this is our worry. a priority, claiming that "do or die" britain will leave the european union by the end of october. the incoming new head already the iranians have suggested of the european commission, they could hold this ship ursula von der leyen, said mrjohnson faces for a month or perhaps more. challenging times ahead. there are many different and difficult issues to tackle together. meanwhile the british have talked we have challenging times ahead of us. it is very important to build up about a new maritime patrol unit a strong and good working relation because we have the duty to deliver right here in the strait of hormuz. something which is good for people in europe and the united kingdom, tensions are rising and not least so i am looking forward for the crew and their families.

to working with him. tom bateman, bbc news, fujairah. our europe editor katya adler says former fbi director robert mueller it's very uncertain how faces questions on wednesday the new prime minister will fare from two congressional committees, with the european union in any about his report on the donald trump new moves on brexit. election campaign and russia. the bbc‘s anthony zurcher, now, on how we got here and what may lie ahead. robert mueller. there were messages of mr mueller. congratulations from across europe today. jean—claude juncker said he hoped to work as constructively as the mueller thing never stops! remember this guy? possible with borisjohnson. and robert mueller is back for a curtain call. then these divisive breaks at times of them and us, emmanuel macron of it was just four months ago france reminded the new prime that the special counsel concluded his investigation minister that eu—uk relations stretch far beyond brexit. that into russian meddling of the 2016 whatever happens with brexit when it election, and issued a 450—page report that concluded that there was "insufficient comes, for example, with iran or evidence" to find any criminal russian sentence, the eu still says conspiracy between members of the trump campaign and russia. uk is russian sentence, the eu still says ukisa russian sentence, the eu still says no, russia did not help me get elected. uk is a very close ally only well you know who got me elected? i got me elected. says. that said, those warm and welcoming words, which essentially charging the president up welcoming words, which essentially up like diplomacy, of course, should with a crime was therefore not be misconstrued as the eu taking a an option we could consider. just because we are getting a new

but he also notably declined prime minister. on the one hand, to conclude whether or not donald trump obstructed justice. borisjohnson is prime minister. on the one hand, boris johnson is right, prime minister. on the one hand, borisjohnson is right, the eu does have more flexibility over the brexit deal than it has wanted if we had confidence that the president clearly did not really to let on until now. but on commita crime, the other hand, he is probably wrong we would have said so. in his one and only public if he thinks that the threat of a appearance in may, robert mueller said he was "done" talking no—deal brexit, however credible, and however much we know that eu about this investigation. leaders would prefer to avoid it, and i hope and expect this to be the only time i will speak will force a major rethink in brussels. eu leaders‘ flexibility is to you in this manner. congress, not surprisingly, has had other ideas. yes, i think it would be useful actually much more constrained than that. they not going to want to make for him to testify before congress. and has subpoenaed him to testify. decisions or compromises that ultimately will hurt them. so some changes to that irish backstop did robert mueller want guarantee, possible, if dublin says attorney general william barr to be yes, but getting rid of the backstop altogether, which would mean the final judge about exposing eu leaders‘ lucrative whether donald trump committed single market to the possibility of a crime, or did he think that that was really congress‘ job? there‘s been a campaign smuggled, non— regulation goods, it of misrepresentation would mean them turning their back by attorney general barr who misrepresented what was on member state ireland, i do not in the report. see them going in that direction at it‘s important the american people all stop and grab katya adlerfor hear from him what the report found. they also want to ask mueller us. borisjohnson has served about why he declined to reach as london mayor, foreign secretary a conclusion about whether donald

and played a significant part trump obstructed justice in the leave campaign‘s victory and whether he thought he could have, if he were allowed to. in the brexit referendum. our chief political correspondent i think for the sake vicki young takes a look of the american people, at his career. that bob mueller in whatever setting‘s appropriate should answer boris johnson‘s path congress‘ questions. borisjohnson‘s path to the top is a well trodden one. the 20th prime minister to be skilled at eaton. republicans, on the other hand, health will proceed to a divisions. want to look into the beginning into the beginnings health will proceed to a divisions. he went on to study lasix at oxford of the intelligence investigations into russian election meddling university was not a career in and to see whether it was a deep journalism followed, with a stint in brussels for the telegraph, where he state conspiracy to disrupt trump‘s presidential campaign. relished mocking the european they may also want to talk commission. i don't want to be totally stitched up here. even back about perceptions of bias within mueller‘s own investigatory team. i think mueller is a true never—trumper. he‘s somebody that dislikes donald trump. muller hasn‘t seen that interested in appearing before congress, he has extensive experience then,is testifying before congress and he‘s totally stitched up here. even back then, is boris johnson totally stitched up here. even back then, is borisjohnson tried to unlikely to volunteer any more become the conservers‘ candidate, than the bare minimum. for two years, robert mueller the local party was divided over his talents. some were attracted to this was a washington sphinx, slightly eccentric, larger than my silent and mysterious. personality. but others were concerned about whether he could be taken seriously. he was elected mayor of london in 2008. such an in what could be in the final

honour to have you here, mr mair. episode of the special counsel investigation, he‘s unlikely please call me boris. mrjohnson was to change as stoic ways. no questions. the charismatic front man, happy to perform for the cameras. and the someone mark for us there. —— mishaps only added to the celebrity status. release the rings into anthony zurcher for us there. position now! gold medals! his briefly back to our main story. boris johnson, the new leader of the conservative party and within hours now, the uk‘s next prime minister. supporters say his leadership style he‘s well—known here in the uk, is all about creating a feelgood but what do americans make of him? factor. over the years, do they even know who he is? we asked people on the streets of washington dc. is all about creating a feelgood factor. overthe years, his is all about creating a feelgood factor. over the years, his private life brought unwanted press i can open it? i can open it. attention. they have absolutely no i know who that is, yeah. comment. during his 25 year marriage he looks so much older right there. he had several affairs. he was waita minute... that‘s not trump. is that boris johnson? sacked as a conservative spokesman they‘re saying britain trump. lying about one of them. last year he split up from his wife, marina. reporter: do you recognise him? professional relationships have been absolutely not. strained, too. mrjohnson‘s two i have seen the memes. who are these people? yea rs strained, too. mrjohnson‘s two years as foreign secretary brought i‘ve been a long—time reader awkward moments, some with serious of the spectator and i remember him consequences. polias complained that as the editor. he is a fool, he is funny, he didn‘t focus on important details and found it hard to make decisions also very dangerous. —— colleagues complained. they have a trump version, too? and found it hard to make decisions -- colleagues complained. there is this real trust deficit. when he has laughs. he looksjust like him,

not done what he is supposed to have look at the hair. he seems like a goofy guy. done. he hasn‘t read his briefs. he that's pretty cool. hasn‘t turned up to things. he i am not quite sure where he stands hasn‘t turned up to things. he hasn‘t with the country first but hasn‘t with the country first but on brexit at this point at all. has put himself first. my friends as it is done does make controversial i thought he was once a supporter and then perhaps not quite so much though. do you think there is approach can charm the toughest of audiences. many conservative mps are a special relationship? pinning their hopes on borisjohnson because they believe he a winner. he everyone has been talking about it adoring crowds when he led the vote for so long as though there was one to leave campaign. but brexit has so i guess... i don‘t really know. proved to be the most divisive of "special relationship" is such a weird term for politics. which country? issues. and the new prime minister because of brexit, will need more than exuberance, i guess, but maybe france? charisma, and a bit of optimism. well, i would go out for everything that's on the news, vicki young, bbc news. i would say russia. more of the main international news for you. europe is about to endure its second record—breaking heatwave in as many months. right now, i don‘t know if we have soaring temperatures worldwide made last month the hottestjune ever a good relationship with anybody. yeah, we've been recorded, prompting warnings from environmental analysts on good terms with uk. and campaigners of a climate i mean, it depends how emergency — a warning reinforced far we go back though. by a vote in the british parliament. israel. ...because it wasn't always nice. laura westbrook reports. between world war i and world war ii, i mean, we fought for each other. keeping cool in the go back to the 17005.
