10:02 pm
a hard won agreement from her cabinet today during a stormy session in parliament theresa may think the two ministers for their work but she was repeatedly interrupt. turning to mr speaker i want to pay tribute to my right elbow friends. the members. the members the men this whole surprising how to talk speech in south priceless that was i. i i i. we do not agree about the best way to differing our shared commitments to one of the results of the referendum but i want to recognize the work of the full of a sect of state exit in the european union for the work he did to establish a new car and steer and steer through parliament some of the most important legislation for generations and some of these who recognize the passion full of foreign sex he demonstrated i think i. mean from
10:03 pm
my own seeing eye information o'er the litany on seemly atmosphere. all i want to hear about these important matters. are that was inside the british parliament today for more now i'm joined by barry could he is standing by in one tonight and theresa may appears to be standing on shaky ground can she survive what happened today. that there is a may is of this in very deep deep trouble but she's still showing that she can act she just replaced boris johnson the foreign secretary with jeremy hunt the secretary for culture media so she's shows that she is still in charge and acting and she wants to cling to power and a mutiny against a threesome a didn't take place so far there are not enough votes from the backbench as a no confidence vote in parliament but there's still the possibility that somebody
10:04 pm
will challenge her leadership in the cons a conservative party and that would also mean that she had to resign as a prime minister and this somebody could well be boris johnson himself. who is still having a much trust in the hot bricks at camp of the conservatives is the now former top u.k. diplomat mr boris johnson he released a statement a short while ago and he wrote that it was with sadness that he stepped down from his role as foreign minister and he said that may's softer negotiating position meant that the bright sit dream is done i am referring to the plan to remain closely aligned to certain e.u. laws johnson wrote that the u.k. is truly headed for the status of colony now to resume a was reportedly a little surprised when she received johnson's resignation today she thought that she had support for her negotiating plan so where did this come from bear.
10:05 pm
but the prime minister also issued a letter in response to the resignation and she said she is surprised that two of them in a says can not agree on the deal that was hammered out just a couple of days ago on friday and this deal says that they the cabinet once soft breaks it approach they want to negotiate a free trade zone with the european union they want to leave the customs union also the. market but they want something better for britain and the heartbreak that maybe business joints and others are pursuing is not what this is made ones but it's very difficult now to have support for this approach in the whole party and on thursday should be an issue a white paper negotiation strategy if you will that has to show if the e.u. one set and can follow this approach and this is still on very shaky and shaky
10:06 pm
ground aren't a correspondent but record in london on the story for us tonight thank you and we just wanted to report that news is coming in a jeremy hunt has been named britain's new foreign secretary jeremy hunt the former health minister now the new foreign secretary of the u.k. or with the brics it crisis is deepening there has been reaction from brussels we've seen a tongue in cheek reaction from the president of the european council donald tusk he tweeted today politicians coming to go but the problems they have created for people remain i can only regret that the idea of breaks it has not left with davis and johnson but you know. he does know our very own moccasins in brussels on the story for us tonight georg the european union doesn't seem very impressed with what we saw today in london how are european countries how are they going to deal with the chaos that is unfolding right now. from the
10:07 pm
european perspective has proved to be very costly both regarding time and effort not to mention goodwill and so there was some hope here on the part of the european union that finally the the u.k. was about to put a plan on the table because from the european perspective what is holding things up in this whole negotiating process is the lack of vision of the u.k. a clear vision with bullet points on a piece of paper a plan how they want to do this practice it and the fact now that this is being torpedoed by the two ministers who took part in finding this compromise are now stepping down resigning from their posts has put all of that in jeopardy and we know that teresa main is fighting to basically save her political life and to save her government there's even talk that she may ask for an extension of that date when the u.k. leaves the e.u.
10:08 pm
next march i mean how worried are you negotiators that an orderly breaks it is is not going to happen. well not only negotiators but also member states have already started preparing for a scenario where the u.k. will crush out not even a hot bricks it's an aria but a real no deal scenario which is on the table there are some people in brussels here who say there's even a fifty fifty chance and with these two resignations that the chap the odds are even higher now but they want what brussels also know is knows that that this scenario of may which is now called a smooth and let me get the wadding right here a smooth and orderly breck's it is also not as a lifesaving vote because the compromise she has reached may be good for her own party which which is in disarray but it will certainly not fly in the european union. i mean we've heard of a hard breaks it's all for exit now we're talking about a smooth frex we will see our correspondent in brussels tonight do your majesty or
10:09 pm
thank you for news of boris johnson's resignation over the ukase bricks that approach knocked the british pound down more than half a percentage point against the euro european stock markets reacted well rather no reaction british firms welcomed the industry friendly plans for brakes of that maybe outlined last week the prospect of a softer break sit with the u.k. maintaining close trading ties to the e.u. seem to meet demands for more clarity from the business world but whether those plans can stay on the table is very much up in the year again now. it was over the other stories that are making headlines around the world ethiopia and eritrea are hailing what they call a new era of peace and friendship after historic reconciliation talks the two countries' leaders agreed to in the state of war between them their twenty year conflict claimed thousands of lives the two neighbors have already begun restoring telephone and flight connections the japanese government says at least one hundred

10:12 pm
happy that he remains in charge. he's a source of pride for us that he represents us well on the world stage he's our leader. on the most our president has done what needs to be done so far and i'm sure he knows what the path forward is. to the. system that's on a choice mean so happy since the elections that you can visit our country is going to make huge progress and god willing our future is going to be bright. buz in the cutty k district of very different many young people live here students artists most of them opposed. the prospect of him ruling for at least another term scares them. a whole generation grew up in the era one it's going to be another five years and i'm sure after that another five years he's imposing his

education system is idiology on us that's not good. is not my president i see a dark future we don't know what to do we have no hot jobs we have. me on it will i'm too tired of talking about democracy maybe we still know what it is but will our children. the problems that turkey faces a fall from over surging inflation high youth unemployment the war in neighboring syria the president has promised a solution for all these issues but his biggest challenge after old maybe how to reconcile a deeply polarized society. and our correspondent joins me now from the turkish capital ankara good evening to you you will have we heard president want today say that his country is and i'm quoting here in barking on the
10:14 pm
journey towards a strong government parliament and a strong turkey as a whole what does he mean when he says a strong turkey. well a strong country needs a strong leader a strong president that is his claim that has been his claim for the past months of course he is saying this country needs a strong leader to tackle the challenges all the perceived threats terrorism for example turkey is facing and now he is an almost all powerful head of state he can pull the strings basically from the presidential palace here and that's where we are but this whole promise of a strong nation is only credible if actions follow look at the economy for example the economy is not doing well at all still missed out on set today he is going to turn turkey into one of the ten most successful world economies soon but he just didn't say how he's going to do that so it will be interesting who are the people
10:15 pm
he's going to put in charge of the ministries of the councils because he's surrounding himself now with people that he can trust we just learned that he is putting his son in law by a doc in charge of the finance ministry many observers were suggesting that he's going to do just that he's going to run the country like a family business surrounding himself with family members people he can trust but he needs people who can in the end regain trust affording in west as in special especially when it comes to the economy he needs people at the same time thousands of public sector workers have been sacked for alleged journalists in prison for allegedly opposing the state that's happened says turkey will advance in terms of rights and freedoms how do you square that circle. well i think he was trying to be inclusive there today he was saying that he's trying to be the president of not only the people who voted for him but of eighty
10:16 pm
of all of the eighty one million turks in fact and he said turkey is going to make progress in terms of democracy and freedoms and individual rights as well but of course as you said to his opponents to his critics that must sound like a bad joke in fact just one day before he's he was sworn in for another term eight hundred thousand more than eight hundred thousand state employees police officers soldiers academics have been sacked from their jobs under the state of emergency that is still ongoing actually has been ongoing for two years now missed out on his promise in his election campaign that he's going to end the state of emergency and that's what people are waiting for now but his critics don't think that after this even he's going to ease down that he's going to approach his critics. to the contrary they think that he's going to make fool use of his powers. in. always thank you very much. and it's

a. struggle for global free trade in the face of u.s. protectionism you say china has declared itself to be fucked a leader of global free trade started pushing his america first policies the growing possibility of a trade war between the two countries china is looking for friends so of course closer academic tusker on the agenda of china's premier about germany's chancellor this monday. a united front against the u.s. at their meeting in berlin german chancellor angela merkel and china's premier league young signaled their commitment to free trade principles cooperation is key the emphasized as both exporting powerhouses stand to lose from a looming trade conflict with the united states let's listen other than in the end everybody is affected if the principle of multilateralism is questioned that is why we need to make our position clear here and ensure access to each other's markets
10:18 pm
and. several german industry leaders including siemens and b.m.w. signed deals worth a total of twenty billion euros with chinese partners an important signal for german companies caught in the midst of the chinese u.s. conflict. as you know a lot of german companies have froze some see the results in china and in the united states and so we are right in the middle of all of this those companies and what we want to know is that we have don't have a further escalation even with the backing of german business leaders though china is a tricky partner for germany's government chinese investment is increasingly disputed in germany as many german companies complain that beijing office less access to china's market and burn an office to chinese companies in germany. let's get more detail on this and turn over to our financial correspondent yes quarter in new york
10:19 pm
to his walk of yes china you ask again julie with tariffs last friday at dawn what's been the response on wall street so far. well not what you would have expected what street is gaining quite a bit just on monday blue chips were up by about three hundred twenty points so well first of all those tariffs that kicked in on friday did not come by surprise and then also if you look at adrenaline civilly in comparison to the total size of the u.s. economy of their relatively small sort of resource on wall street here are looking for other reasons to buy or sell shares and this week earnings season will actually start by the end of the week with the quarterly results of the big a u.s. a financial institution an overall analysts expect that earnings of the big u.s. corporations will grow by pretty strong twenty percent so this is one reason for
10:20 pm
the strength of corporate america why investors started to buy shares and then talking about buying shares the companies themselves are buying back their own shares on a record level and that also does support the market at this point all right so some investors seemingly ignore this entire back and forth of tariffs just that surely dan must be someone suffering under all these terrorists or is this all just so much posturing. well my fear is suffering are the chinese people who would like to buy a tesla vehicle because of the terror of kicking in on friday tesla actually decided to increase the price for tesla cars in china by about twenty percent so if you want to buy model x. for example it does not cost the goods hundred seventeen thousand dollars or one hundred forty thousand dollars in china and china off there behind the us is the second biggest market for tesla and tesla likes to build cars in china but that
10:21 pm
takes time so far every single car being sold every single tesla called being sold in china is produced in the united states and gets hit by the tariff but interestingly enough the stock of tesla was up by about three percent in the monday's session investors obviously have the opinion that if you can pay a hundred twenty thousand dollars then you can also pay one hundred forty thousand dollars for a vehicle and t.v.'s call it a thank you very much. now for more on the dramatic a fescue in thailand the troika funny risky was in northern thailand have freed four more boys from a flooded network of caves a total of eight have now been brought out safely while for more remain trapped inside with their soccer coach the team which missing more than two weeks ago when they ventured into the caves after soccer practice became trapped by rising water.
10:22 pm
on the road to recovery after over two weeks in darkness these ambulances on route to the hospital with the latest group of boys saved from the time in the one cave complex it marked the end of a second day of high risk rescue operations in the province of china. he. rescued for the boys we started our operation at eleven am and around eight pm all forwards exported to the hospital and i think they are all safe but my eight the one. prime minister prior has met personally with all eight of the boys rescued so far on monday he paid a visit to the cave site to inspect the operation and was greeted with cheers from navy rescuers. divers are racing against the clock to save those still trapped inside the cave.
10:23 pm
heavy monsoon rains are forecast this week which could again flood the cave complex with fast moving water divers have been hard at work tightening guide ropes and replacing oxygen tanks all along the escape route treacherous work that's already cost one diver his life. but rescuers are confident they'll be able to quickly free the remaining victims. succeeded like i have said we were to i was fostered this time than on sunday. and. we expect that with the preparations and plan discussed we think that rule do even better for the next mission and we will succeed one hundred percent any. bit. right in. officials say the boys and soccer coach still trapped in the cave are in good health if the weather remains favorable they're hoping to free all of them in
10:24 pm
the next few days. well i'm joined now by peter dennis he is chairman of the british cave at risk you counsel mr dennis we appreciate you being on the show this evening we know that this is a very difficult operation the divers we understand are going back into the cave tomorrow give us a sense of what makes this rescue operation now even more difficult and even riskier than it was twenty four hours ago. well good evening with very encouraged and relieved that the divers managed to bring out eight of the boys all alive it's absolutely wonderful news of course we remain anxious. there are still floor of the boys on that coach remaining in the cave so the monsoon is probably the big factor if the water levels rise because of heavy rain very soon it will just make much of the operation what charges to complete we have the impact on the
10:25 pm
water quality it could wash in new sentiment and vegetation if this trench will rain we have the problem also of sentiment so making the limited visibility that already even worse in the river sections where there is existing airspace it will make the flow rates of those river sections stronger and harder to walk and swim against so that's another factor that the final one is that currently the route into the cave this far as the chamber is currently really clear of forces so it's speeding up the removal of the boys once they get to the chamber because they can be put in a structure encouraged by the time i navy seal divers and other support stuff from that out of the cave so all of those sections are going to be much harder and more treacherous if the water levels were to rise and mr just let me just ask you we understand that the first boys who did come out were considered to
10:26 pm
be the strongest bore and i guess that means then the last ones to come out or be the ones that the divers considered maybe to be the weakest or the ones who have suffered from the lack of food will that make these final rescues you know all or even more risky or even more dangerous than the first ones we've seen. well i'm actually aware of these press reports but i'm not aware the sort of choices being made so i don't think there was a sequence specifically weak to strong strong to weak which have a press report you reach so by implication i don't think we have to be quite so concerned that somehow the remaining individual is. any greater risk i think the risk in some ways is less in that the root is much specially rehearsed by the divers and all of those associated support teams leading out of the case so that's a plus. the other part is that. they're desperate search out and i
10:27 pm
think you know they feel they will of been feeding and you know looking forward to this actually i don't think they're going to necessarily be there to extract. that was peter dead us from the british caver rescue council speaking with us earlier after a short break i'll be back to take you through the day stick around for that. climate
