this is d.w. news of live from berlin tonight boris johnson is the new leader of britain's conservative party and the u.k.'s prime minister in waiting. for example unite the country and defeat jeremy qubit and that is one of the many. conservative party members overwhelmingly voted into place johnson at the head of their party today setting him up to become the u.k.'s next prime minister tomorrow also coming up fresh misery for crisis a written venezuela

a nationwide blackout plunges millions into darkness and puts countless lives in jeopardy and here in europe bracing for another heat wave that france in particular is in for a very sweaty thursday the capital paris could see the mercury rise about 40 degrees to hit a new record. i'm bringing off it's good to have you with us tomorrow at this time boris johnson will be britain's new prime minister earlier today he secured their position by winning the race to lead his country's ruling conservatives he defeated foreign minister jeremy hunt by a $2.00 to $1.00 margin johnson's rise to power was fueled by his pledge to take britain out of the e.u. a break deal or

a new deal brecht's that 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 knesset thank you with. the results came as no surprise boris johnson won almost twice as many votes as his rival jeremy hunt. was after a boisterous campaign has except in speech struck a consider tray note thank you very much everybody thank you. for you being friendly you've been a good make should you be the fault of that cylinder ideas all of which i propose to steal. with. and above all i want to thank going lida it's a reason marry her extraordinary service to this policy and to this country the country johnson inherits is mired in deep political crisis his most important task

and a major challenge will be delivering what his predecessor could not free we're going to get brits done on october 31st 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 joy we're going to rise and ping off the guy ropes so tight and negativity will be the applause may have the night but johnson faces stiff opposition from many of his own m.p.'s finding a way eye to britain's press it caught my eye maybe rather more difficult than he cast to admit it if our correspondent barbara vanes all she is in london with a voter reaction and their expectations for the newly elected or belt to be elected prime minister. we have seen a snap poll that he's being done here in the last hours and it is astonishing because about half of the people that were being questioned said he could even be a chore or a 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 boris johnson always tries to project that he is sort of loved by the 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 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 likely to lead to and i don't think he's going to get. by halloween i think that's just a fantasy and i think he's going to be like a headless chicken running around race monster because he doesn't have the ability to actually negotiate with these women to let alone the a much like his because i think we need a visionary leader we don't need to teach that's what the civil service is we need

we need you know this thousands of them around the corner in the only streets but what we need is sufficiently we need someone history to say what they promise he's going to do which is to leave. the 1st person obama this is a problem. you know to have somebody. someone is going to be a politician or a leader of a country that should be an outstanding person you know i mean. i really have a selfie in a certain way i went to speak very articulately not the way that. i think he's wrong person to be leading the country at least. 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 knows know that he likes to tell a fib 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 something they don't appreciate in a prime minister so many british people are not amused at the moment. for these what they're reporting from london mo boerewors johnson once claimed that there was about an equal chance of finding elvis presley on mars as of finding him as prime minister but many who know him also say that leaving the u.k. government has always been. in his number one ambition in life here's a look at johnson's career and his sometimes bumpy ride to pile. he no longer has to knock boris johnson now has the keys to number 10 he started his career in journalism but politics came calling in 2001 he won a seat in parliament for the conservative party in 2008 came a new challenge therefore officially declared boris johnson to be elected as

the next mayor of london. as mayor johnson oversaw the 2012 summer olympics in london the games were a success at supporting him into the global limelight. thankfulness that it's over i suppose compete technically. but in a good way in a good way how about that will that do. famous for his the centric behavior but also for his embarrassing gaffes like here when he knocked over a 10 year old boy during a rugby game in tokyo. but it was on the issue of breck's it that he was most controversial johnson defied his prime minister becoming a leading figure in the campaign for britain to leave the e.u. . will remain locked in the back of the car driven in an uncertain direction to a place we don't want to go and. perhaps by

a driver who doesn't speak the very best of english at least one very referendum but there was controversy over some of the claims made by johnson and his fellow brits it is. may 2016 for a new prime minister to raise or may made him her foreign secretary to many a surprise appointment. personal statement mr polish johnson yeah but johnson was the alter of may's vision for break sit and resigned in protest it is not too late to say brett. when mae couldn't get her 3 parliament she announced her resignation and johnson emerged as the front window to take her job 3 years and 2 missed deadlines we must leave you on october the 30. 3 trans fats would now be for greatest challenge for prime minister always johnson but he's promised to make bricks happen deal or no deal. well they have been

congratulations for boris johnson the german chancellor angela merkel she has congratulated him on being elected party leader there's also been reaction from the incoming european union chief and the french president in paris or from the lion and french president might express their hopes for the future following johnson's victory there are many different difficult issues to tackle together 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 just to do you want to tell you 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 daily lives and on which we are closely coordinated particularly with

the british and the germans whether that's the situation in iran or international security issues on this front i don't think it was all right i want to bring in our political correspondent now william know to talk about the the bourse factor so we heard a little bit there from european leaders and wondering how is the european union responding to johnson's pledge to get breaks it done even without a deal. i mean we did hear at this this very common language we're looking forward to working with boris johnson we graduate him for. his victory and we look forward to a strong friendship with the united kingdom but i think this this phrase working together that we've heard all across the european union today as it may be interpreted differently the u.k. might see that as a signal that they're open to negotiations open to rediscuss ing the withdrawal agreement and of course the european union has made time and again not only today but time and again very clear that is not going to happen michel barnier

a today said we're all agreement definitely not maybe political declaration about the future we can talk about what about the view from right here in berlin we know germany is a core player in the european union and it has a lot at stake you know with breaks it germany's in a in a pretty maybe a very particular more particular situation than other e.u. members being the de facto leader of the european union but also a major economy that enjoys huge exports especially to the u.k. . and may be the worse off in the on the european union side when the brics a deal or no deal goes through on october 31st or later so you find germany in a very particular situation i'm going merkel also extending her congratulations also saying we look forward to working to you but for example the b.t.i. a major german business interest group have much stronger words saying hard exit hard brags it is a catastrophe and no deal would be a worst case scenario anything else will be better because the german economy is

looking for real losses in a messy breck's and yet there's no way to for any of the players to get out unscathed brakes obviously the most pressing issue and that's what boris johnson built his campaign railing but what other issues are you going to have to tackle i mean i'm thinking of the brand yeah i mean let's not forget he's the prime minister of a country so he has a lot of issues to deal with iran as you just mentioned that's going to be the big thing i mean it's just coming out today that british lawmakers british policy makers are going to lose european countries looking for a european naval alliance to patrol the strait of hormuz to protect. shipping lanes this comes at a rather awkward time at the same time the u.k. is trying to get away from european countries they've said whatever naval alliance it is put forward will not actually be an official e.u. or nato mission but it will involve european countries european union member states so it's an interesting dynamic going on it's interesting because i think you know even a few months ago no one would have predicted that the 1st challenge for a prime minister boards johnson would be if roland instead of bricks it right i

mean and those 2 things are very closely linked the strength of the political unity of the u.k. right now and events unfolding around the world all right william miller with the latest on the fallout from. the boris johnson election today thank you. here are some of the other stories now that are making headlines around the world a south korean fighter jets fired hundreds of warning shots after a russian military aircraft violated the country's airspace seoul says the russian planes flew over the don't do islands also claimed by japan which calls them talk ashima russia's defense ministry denies these accusations saying that its bombers carried out drills over international waters former chinese premier league paying has died at the age of 90 the hardline leader was best known for his role in the bloody crackdown on the tiananmen square pro-democracy protests in 1989 chinese

electricity went out luckily they could be rescued here at 10 as we lose biggest airport we see just one example of what happened during the blackout. on monday afternoon the traffic lights went out but that was just beginning an engineer reported that the blackout was countrywide to tell. as to merely completely collapsed trains and subways were brought to a standstill caracas the country's capital has one of the highest crime rates in the world yesterday as night fell fear rose. icon's find my car it is not here and not over there we can't find it i don't know what to do now but hopefully my family will come and look for me. president nicolas maduro and his government think the outages could have been caused by sabotage when the 1st big blackout occurred in march. and his opposition accusing them of mounting a cyber attack opposition leader one countered by tweeting that government

corruption and mismanagement were more likely culprits the 2 parties have struggled for power since the beginning of this year but it is the venezuelan people who are suffering. well you're watching the news live from berlin still to come more steps from germany to atone for its colonial past illin exhilarates its return of priceless artifacts saluted from namibia meaning this replica cross could finally be replaced by the real thing that's coming up in just a moment. but now it's time to talk about the heat here in europe a heat wave another heat wave is sweeping the cotton it's predicted to calls record temperatures in several countries this week the motors across the continent are already racing upwards you can see it right here the highest temperatures predicted on this coming thursday at the epicenter of this heat wave again it's going to be

france the capital paris could see the mercury rise above 40 degree celsius to hit a new record now residents in the city are trying their best i mean what can you do with all that concrete to keep cool with lots of water water and more water and as europe bakes under yet another heat wave both climate change and a teenage climate crusader are back in the spotlight in paris. people in power us trying to keep their cool with a full cost is think that the french capital could see an all time temperature high this week. exceptionally hot weather might be welcomed by some tourists with time to take a dip but swedish climate activist gratitude bug didn't come to paris for a holiday the teenager was invited to speak at the french national assembly by m.p.'s from across party group concerned about climate change. has highlighted the problem of global warming by instigating school strikes and the movement has taken

off well why it is speaking to the assembly to said the world had to come together to take urgent action. so you cannot so the crisis without treating it as a crisis without seeing the full picture you cannot leave the responsibility to individuals politicians the market or other parts of the world to take this has to include everything and everyone carbon dioxide turned back also turned up the heat on far right members of the french parliament who chose to boycott his speech and how do we do it without sounding some people have chosen not to come here today some people have chosen not to listen to us and that is fine we are after all just children. you don't have to listen to us. but you do have to listen to

the united science the scientists and that is all that we are ask just unite behind the science. scientists are cautious when joined connections between weather patterns and climate science. but they're increasingly confident that manmade climate change is driving up the length and intensity of heat waves. and with temperatures already reaching a record $41.00 degrees celsius in the southern french city of bordeaux gratitude and bugs words are perhaps more poignant than ever. malays stone cross looted from namibia by german colonialist in the late 19th century is finally on its way back home a german museum has agreed to repatriate the stone cross of cape cross and they agreed back in may germany has already returned a number of skulls of indigenous people removed from the b.b.a.
