this is g w news wind from berlin tonight boris johnson is the new leader of britain's conservative party and the u.k.'s prime minister in waiting. breaks it unite the country and defeat jeremy coolidge and that of the. conservative party members overwhelmingly vote to place johnson at the head of their party setting him up to become the u.k.'s next prime minister tomorrow also coming up tonight fresh misery for crisis reason business wave the nationwide blackout plunges millions

into darkness putting countless lives in jeopardy and europe bracing for another heat wave especially france on thursday the capital paris could see the mercury rise above 40 degrees to hit a new record. i'm bringing off to our viewers on p.b.s. in the united states and all around the world welcome to morrow at this time boris johnson will be britain's new prime minister earlier today johnson secured their place by winning the race to lead his country's ruling conservative party he defeated foreign minister jeremy hunt by a 2 to one margin johnson's rise to power was fueled by his pledge to take britain out of the european union breaks it with

a deal or withheld the deal is 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 concert was. the result 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 for the everybody thank you. for you being friendly you've been good make should you be the front of that cylinder ideas all of which i propose to steal. and above all i want to thank going lida to resign marry her extraordinary service to this party 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 for we're going to get brits it 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 giant we're going to rise and ping off the guy ropes are so tight and negativity will 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 cast to admit it if a large correspondent barbara faisal she is in london with voters reactions to the election and their expectations for their soon to be new prime minister. we have seen a snap poll that his being down 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 charm 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 always tries to project that he is sort of loved 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 good leader and i don't think he's going to get is. by how we know 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 hostage let alone to be here a much. because i think we need a visionary leader we don't need to detail star that's what the civil service is we

need we need you know there's thousands of them hiding around the corner in the early streets but what we need is a visionary we need someone history to say what they promise he's going to refuse to leave the room so the 1st person oh boy this is a problem. that's you know to have somebody. someone who's 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 self in a certain way i went to speak very articulate not the way that. i think is a roman wrong person to be leading the country at least. this goes to show that he has a long way to go to really. again particularly the trust of the british people because that is one of his big problems people 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 the prime minister so many british people are not to mused at the moment there was barby's with a reporting from london boris johnson once claimed that the chance of him becoming british prime minister was equal to the chance of finding elvis presley on mars but many who know him say that leaving the u.k. government has always been his wife long ambition here's a look at johnson's career and his sometimes bumpy wrongs to par. 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 that supporting him into the global limelight you can use is. thankfulness that it's over us but as complete 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 rigby 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. leaf one director random 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 a may made him her foreign secretary to many a surprise appointment. personal statement was to punish jones. but johnson was the ultimate maze vision for brick sit and resigned in protest it is not too late to save brits. when may couldn't get her breaks it deal with 3 parliament she announced. herve as a nation and johnson emerged as the front went out to take a job 3 years and 2 missed deadlines we must leave you on october the 30. 3 vats would now be for greatest challenge for prime minister always johnson but he's promised to make bricks happen deal or no deal.

with german chancellor angela merkel extended her congratulations to boris johnson today in a tweet her spokesperson said that the chancellor is looking forward to working with him there's also been reaction from the incoming european commission president as well as from the french president in paris today newly elected are full of underlying. said they were hopeful of a productive relationship with. british prime minister there are many different and 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 well 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 to pricks 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 in this united. all right i want to bring in our political correspondent no way i'm no good to talk about the the board's factor so we heard a little bit there from european leaders wondering how is the european union responding to johnson's pledge to get. even with a deal. i mean we did hear of this this very common language we're looking forward to working with boris johnson we congratulate 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 media 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 to 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 had much stronger words saying hard exit hard bragg's 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 bricks and you know there's no way for any of the players to get out unscathed obviously the most pressing issue and. that's what johnson built his campaign around 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 existing 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 iran instead of brics 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 blue cross with the latest on the fallout from. the boris johnson election today thank you. well here are some of the other stories now that are making headlines around the world of the swedish based operator of that british flag tanker seized by iran last week in the strait of hormuz says it is still waiting for permission to visit the ship's $23.00 crew members none of the standing impaired rows crew are british citizens they are mostly indian and filipino but also include russian and laci and nationals the u.s. senate has confirmed a presidential nominee for secretary of defense after a 7 month delay mark esper an army veteran and former defense industry lobbyist one
