venezuela and nationwide blackout plunges millions into darkness and puts countless lives in jeopardy. i'm sorry kelly welcome to the program boris johnson will be britain's next prime minister after winning the race to lead his country's ruling conservatives he defeated foreign minister jeremy hunt in the party's leadership contest by a 2 to one margin a champion of bragg's at johnson as his to mull to us rise to power were fueled by his pledge to take britain out of the e.u. deal or no deal his backers expect him to deliver on that promise after taking the reins from theresa may tomorrow. boris johnson is elected as the leader of the constat think of. the result came as no surprise boris johnson won
8:02 pm
almost twice as many votes as his rival jeremy hunt. after a boisterous campaign has except in speech struck a consider tray note thank you very much for the everybody thank you before you've been friendly you've been good make should you be the fault of excellent ideas all of which i propose to steal. with. and above all i want to thank are going to lead us to reason may be extraordinary service this policy and to this country the country johnson inherent is mired in deep political crisis is most important task and a major challenge will be delivering what his predecessor could not we're going to get brits doug although people thought it was going to take advantage of all the opportunities that it will bring in a new spirit of can do and we are once again going to believe in ourselves and what we could achieve unlike some slumbering joint we're going to rise and paying off
8:03 pm
the guy ropes so dark and negativity be the applause may have the night which johnson faces stiff opposition from many of his own m.p.'s finding a way out of britain's press it caught my eye maybe rather more difficult than he cares to admit. and barbara faisal is following the story for us from london so boris johnson new leader of the tories tomorrow will become britain's new prime minister he was voted in only by conservative party members as we heard barbara how is his vote being received by the public at large. we have seen a step pole that his being down here in the last hours and it is astonishing because about half the people that were being question said he could even be a char at terrible prime minister we don't really expect great things from him things might turn out quite badly so it is not the case that as what boris johnson
8:04 pm
always tries to project that he is sort of beloved by a vast majority of the british public they have known him for too long they have seen him for so many years and they know that he is prone to gaffes and and that can create more problems than he might be solving in the end we asked some people for their opinion let's listen to what they had to say i don't think he's a great leader and i do think he's going to get us out of you by how we leave i think that was just a fun thing and i think he's going to do like he was chicken running on race months time because he doesn't have the ability to actually negotiate with these women hosty who wins. a much much lighter because i think you need a visionary leader we don't need to tell style that's what. we need to move this house party from the polls to street. to what we need is a huge need someone who's going to say look for me he's going to.
8:05 pm
push the car this is a bone. this is going to go to our song. i'm someone who's going to be important to share with the neighborhood that should be an outstanding person the new member of the actual truth for yourself in a certain way when times people want to know when the forms of forms will survive and i don't think you see room in one person to be introduced. this goes to show that he has a long way to go to really gain particularly the trust of the british people because that is one of his big problems people know that he likes to tell a few that he sort of makes up stories as he goes along and that he sort of says in every sort of condition and surrounding what people want to hear and that is
8:06 pm
something they don't appreciate the prime minister so many british people are not amused at the moment so lots of opinions divided on whether he will succeed i mean but he is also we have to say generally speaking inheriting a divided country a divided party how does he plan to bridge those gaps and prove himself. while less of the seraph think he wants to do it by sheer force of personality he really doesn't have a plan he goes out there and as we heard in his short acceptance speech that he held today after the voting was in the vote was announced he just goes out and says let's be optimistic we're such a great country we can do this and that's more or less all of you has to offer because he knows that he really can't convince the remainder is the 48 percent of britain who voted against rex it to sort of let their opinions drop he tries to sort of appeal to their patriotic feelings and says let's all be happy together and
8:07 pm
the future is going to be great now how far he's going to get was that we'll see so lots of challenges bragg's it surely the biggest one that he will be facing how does he plan to tackle that barbara. he needs to check go breck's it and he needs to he will probably go to several european capitals and try to talk to him on talk to i'm going to america if you look at the congress your nation is he received from those places today they showed the skepticism that he will be received was in in those places and he wants to reopen the negotiations tear them up get what he wants for brakes it kick out the irish backstop and just sort of have cake and eat it that has always been. it's not going to work and what he will do then that is the really interesting question and nobody not even his closest advisers know
8:08 pm
the answer barbara hazel in london thank you. german chancellor angela merkel congratulated boris johnson on his election as party leader in a tweet her spokesperson quoted her as saying that she looks forward to working with him and there's also been reaction from the incoming e.u. chief and the french president in paris funder line and emmanuel mccrone said that they were hopeful of a productive future relationship with johnson as prime minister. there are many different difficult issues to tackle together we have challenging times ahead of us i think it is very important to build up a strong and a good working relation because we have the duty to deliver something which is good for people in europe and in the united kingdom so i'm looking forward to working with him to deal with the world i'm looking forward to working with him as soon as possible not only on the european issues and the continuation of the negotiations obviously linked to brics it but also on the international issues that make up our
