but if you're probably right to learn that is this is the job of journalism on how i see it and others why i love my job because i tried to do it exactly this hour a day by name of the uninsured and i work at it up to. this is the last night to receive a will be able to call 10 downing street home she's moving out tomorrow to make way for the man known as bourse boris johnson became head of the conservative party today in britain tomorrow he'll become head of government the new prime minister tonight as boris johnson prepares to make the biggest move of his life the crises testing the country unlike any since 1945 well those problems they aren't going anywhere i'm burned off in berlin this is the day.

the 1st time since. the death of the things that. we know the mantra of the campaign that has just gone by deliver bricks it unite the country and defeat generally good his message just perhaps that you know i think as i say he will now be a great prime minister and one thing a prime minister has to do is get other people to do the work and i'm full force for making the charge that. we're going to rise and the guy rates are still dogs and that. i'm looking forward to have a good looking relation with him that many different and difficult health issues to tackle together if you can break.

also coming up in the u.s. congresswoman alexandria ocasio cortez under attack again last week it was a hateful tweet from the u.s. president now 2 police officers are accused of using facebook to suggest someone should shoot her both of these officers. we consider have violated our. policies regarding social media. we have a 0. tolerance policy. this incident we feel has been an embarrassment to our department. and to our viewers on p.b.s. in the united states and all around the world welcome we begin the day on the eve of a new political era in britain the era of prime minister boris johnson today boris

johnson the former mayor of london the former british foreign minister and one of the leading bright city years was elected to head the conservative party tomorrow he is expected to become the new prime minister and johnson seized his party's leadership in a landslide victory but consider this those conservative party members who hoisted him to power they represent 110th of one percent of the british population and the numbers in parliament they're also small he takes power with a majority of just 2 seats well this is anything but a mandate and that is what johnson inherits from theresa may who spent 3 years as prime minister trying to take britain out of the european union her motto busy was brakes it means brakes it but we now know brakes it meant exit for it's a reason may what will it mean for boris johnson a no deal crash out of the e.u. well no one really knows tonight what we do know is that even in the face of these

tremendous challenges johnson knows how to turn a dud into a dude. deliver bricks it unite the country and defeat jeremy corbett and that is it. i know someone who has already pointed out that deliver you night and defeat was not the perfect acronym for an election campaign since all push me it spells dot but they forgot the final easy my friends easy for energy audience and i say i say to all the doctors. we are going to energize the country we're going to get brits it done on october thought it was going to take advantage of all don't you news that it will bring in a new spirit of can do all right they can do due to boris johnson we've got complete coverage of this transition of power that is about to take place in britain. barbara visa's she is standing by in london and here at the big table with me is john worth a political blogger of all things breck said and

a familiar face to our viewers here to both of you welcome barbara let me start with you johnson is for filling a lifelong ambition by becoming prime minister do we know what he will give britain in return. now from what we've just heard brant something seems perfectly clear there will be a lot of that warm and fuzzy feeling there will be a lot of tall talk bushels full of full of patriotism and of course boundless energy and endless optimism all these good things boris johnson will bring to britain that he will of course we'll have to sort of scrape around and the budget and see whether you can find the money for some further tax cuts because the you already beguiled his own tory party by offering tax cuts for the better off the elderly population the white population that is represented in that party 7

botch he has to find the money to sort of give something to the people at large he might try to do that but of course it is all about emotion yeah annabel sheldon as we can tell by the people there behind. you know i mentioned that this is the 1st time that tend to. be going to school. let's talk about what the history that is being made here this is the 1st time that a party membership has directly elected britain's prime minister what does that mean for his credibility at the start he has very limited credibility that's been exactly the critique should it just be this 160000 members that elect him we knew that he can appeal to those people now he's going to be really tested in terms of how this kind of village injury appeal he supposedly has will actually work in the

in the in the general population the difficulty is of course is that he doesn't really look like he wants a general election to happen because of course that will be the real way of managing to test this could he kind of puts puts and his brakes plans to the people of the 3 general election or a 2nd referendum and what you do take a listen to how johnson today tried to inspire his fellow conservatives take a listen. i read in my financial times this morning that their new incoming leader their incoming leader has ever faced such a daunting set of circumstances it said well i look at you this morning and i ask myself do you look to wanted do you feel do indeed i don't think i didn't you to remake the don't don't to barbara i don't think you look daunted either i mean what we had there was a pep talk for the party will it work though for the people what do you think. it's also seems that boris johnson was trying to sort of pep himself up to sort of

give himself courage because in his in our heart he must know what's ahead he must know how difficult a lot of these issues are going to be the 1st thing he's going to be faced with is the iran tanker crisis that is not going to be just talked out of the room it will not happen he will need a lot of diplomacy all the skills that he doesn't seem to possess in abundance to sort of monsters things like that so that is the one side the british public that's been a snap poll today that said that about 50 percent of the public at large very skeptical to put it mildly about boris johnson many i say he might turn out to be quite horrible prime minister and about 30 percent say no we don't have very big expectations from him so yes he has a lot of convincing to do the point here is brant that they know him they've seen him for us they like his act i think he's funny he was a star on on t.v.

here for many years but is he a prime minister people might expect something else more serious knee seriousness and a completely different person from the guy who is going to be moving into downing street tomorrow it's a good point you made to barbara i mean if you're expectations are not too high then the chances of you disappointing are not too high john what about bricks how widely is a new deal bricks know that johnson is going to be the prime minister. in places exactly the same problem entry arithmetic that theresa may faced if this is not a problem and it's making a decision about bricks until new breaks it has various different variants of breaks in its knowing and just as theresa may couldn't get a break to deal through parliament boris johnson is not going to be able to get a new deal breaks in. 3 pollens all you and indeed the parliament show opposition

is already building against his plans so he's going to face exactly the same difficulties that reason may face do you think parliament will have the power there will they be able to find it powered if they need to to take away the authority and prevent the know they will have the most ballistic power you're going to need which is going to be to no confidence the government now they've not gone that far yet but a few conservative backbenchers the kind of regular members of parliament of the conservative party have already said we would be willing to cross the house basically to join the opposition parties if that would be what it would take to stop and no deal breaks it and so that and also he's trying some poetry tricks to try to run down the clock to get to no deal by default but again they've kind of closed off those routes to so therefore the chances he gets to no deal by 31st october remain very very slim because he still has parliament against him in the same ways to rescind that and doesn't have a lot of time either i mean october 31st will be here before you have a parliamentary recess they going on holidays right of course very sweet says

exactly right crisis is probably going to break council only in september and i want you to take a listen what struck us today was the way that boris johnson described britain's love to hate relationship with europe john and barbara both of you take a listen to this today this pivotal moment in our history we again have to reconcile 2 sets of instance 2 noble sets of instincts between the deep desire for friendship and free trade and mutual support in security and defense between britain and our european partners and the similar pena's desire. equally deep and heartfelt the democratic self-government in this country i mean it sounds like he's describing you know i love you but you're a ball and chain at the same time barber you've covered brussels the european union for a long time how do you think brussels reads that comment. if

boris johnson comes in to brussels and walks into the door and says i feel this deep friendship for you everybody there knows that it's time to sort of dive on the table to take protection i mean it is of course not really credible he everybody news that those emotional sort of utterances coming from boris are not worth the sort of the microphone stand spoken into they've known boris johnson for years they've known his plays in his career as a journalist in brussels where he really influenced for years public opinion in britain by his life he says you know containing all these negative stories and myths about the european union all of that is not forgotten they knew him as a foreign minister where there was just a trace of devastation left and right in paris and other chemicals throughout the world that is not forgotten so they know what to expect from the man and they will

hardly believe a word they hear and do you agree with john i mean is boris johnson is he a committed break city here we don't really know because it was it was rumored that he actually wrote a pro rata main piece for his newspaper column as well as in private some woman called publish i think he's himself quite a cosmopolitan but he's a bit of a political comedian if you like he changes his colors according to the moment and then ultimately brussels trades in detail in palau in concrete ways of getting bricks done and that's what we've not heard from boris johnson i think those lungs that he just focus was basically trying to play to julian says because within the conservative policy and he doesn't want to choose between so i just see that as a me for kind of an internal audiences consumption and i considered that and then listen to what the vice president of the european commission what he said today about you know what's coming from london it was the world's politics is right.

colorful people these days if you can't deal with it there's not much you could do . my face would be just to you know to stick to your position and have a reasonable attitude and stick to the position that this is the best deal possible . and i think this is the approach you need as will have you know i mean that it's the european union saying that we're not changing our story it's the reason mayor boris johnson it's the same exactly and and also the european union has been united it has said we have the withdrawal agreement on the table we are sticking to that there is no reason for us to reopen that withdrawal agreement and also from the u.k. side there is no concrete plan either so why should the european union stray from the line that it's taken it will require some serious thinking in some serious politics from boris johnson to try to get brussels to move and that's been completely lacking if granted the leadership and the irony too is that that 3 times

rejected plan by theresa may for breaks it it is still not did her her time as prime minister is over but that plan may come back to this also 2nd could benefit the circle political declaration which is not legally binding i.e. then moment be a bit of room for maneuver there to basically give boris johnson some kind of flowery aims that he can bring back to london but still he again back to the point he still faces palm tree of arithmetic that is against him so he might ultimately have to come to face the think he doesn't want a general election or even a 2nd referendum because ultimately there's no of the way out of the brakes conundrum let me ask you both about the world beyond today the u.s. president dollar trump he congratulated boris johnson i think he was one of the 1st leaders if not the 1st leader to do so take a listen. we have a really good man is going to be the prime minister of the u.k.

now for so. smart. this is a britain truck they call in print top and speak with saying that's a good thing that they like me over there that's what they wanted. ok barbara that when do you britain trump. or do you remember that it doesn't make sense to be in liberation square in london the biggest we have a son. he made us we have a saw. and what about this notion of boris johnson being a british version of donald trump. now that seems rather clear and present danger about the bigger danger is really that he will lead britain to the point where it becomes. donald trump who will i mean if in there was tony blair and george w.

bush the british popular populations does remember that is really stuck in collective memory and if he goes that way things can go very wrong very quickly for him look at iraq. crisis with iran if he now turns if he doesn't get from these european allies what she wants quickly enough in a military way he might turn to washington and say ok i go was the americans what does that mean that he will adopt is absolutely more belligerent stance towards iran that he will lose the support and the alliance was paris and berlin and it will be a whole different ball game in foreign policy will he do it nobody you know it is a danger and of course bracks it if he does throw his luck was donald trump and says all we really need is a really quick and good trade deal with the united states he can probably have it

and he might throw british interests overboard so that is really what is behind this and boris johnson seems to be not principled enough to avoid it let me ask both of you before we run out of time we know the deadline is october 31st a lot can happen between now and then will boris johnson be prime minister on bricks a day our job or 31st john you and then are going to not really think he will be because i think by the also him he's majority will have disappeared he will have to face a general election team if not his policy reeses he made seat which is sort of the remaining bridge in london and so therefore 31st what type of british political crisis well most of come to an end but boris johnson may have to have the last word what do you think. pretty similar to what john sajid the british betting shops are now offering odds of $6.00 to $1.00 that doris jones is going to

be out by christmas i sort of might put some money on that all right if you were a betting woman that is. on the story for his tonight in london in all don we're here at the table john's a betting man as well to both of you thank you thank you. in the united states to police officers have been fired after reportedly suggesting on facebook that someone should shoot congresswoman alexandria and cause you cortez now what you're looking at here is a screenshot of that facebook post which has since been deleted a police officer from louisiana refers to the congresswoman as a vial idiot who needs a rail and he writes further i don't mean the kind that she used to serve now that is a reference to past job as a bartender where she served up rounds of drinks around in this case rivers to

a round of you guessed it ammunition. well today the chief of police in gretna louisiana fired the 2 officers here's part of what he had to say the investigation was conducted. the officer did fully cooperated with the of us to geisha and gave a statement. and was terminated earlier today from the gretna police department. along with that in part of the investigation in our internal affairs found that a 2nd officer. was involved and like the posed. and that officer as well has been terminated from the gretna police department. both of these officers we consider have violated our. policies regarding social

media. we have a 0. tolerance policy. this incident we feel has been an embarrassment to our department you know an embarrassment step has cost them 2 officers their jobs this cross now into the u.s. capitol in washington d.c. where our very own all over salad is on the story for us tonight good evening to you oliver so what more do we know about this disturbing to say the least case. well that's certainly a new quality of the police officer of his leave representing law enforcement in the united states if he takes to his personal facebook account and there are calls for a congresswoman of the united states to be shot and in addition to that it seems like the police officer fell for a fake news story that is he posted an article that was falsely quoting

congresswoman alexandria ocasio cortez saying that soldiers are getting paid too much so the article itself was branded satire and if you put that article into a fact and a fact checking web sites here in the us then you would get a result saying that the source of this article is a web site that frequently publishes mis information. and so we don't know whether or not the police officer knew that whether you acted deliberately or whether he just fell for that fake news story but eventually he got fired for violating the social media guidelines of his department and together with him a colleague who liked his facebook account so a combination of news in hate speech and maybe incitement to violence as well not a good indian beer we knew this isn't the 1st time that cause you were tears has faced abuse while we know if this is it. or right

and we have to mention that this whole case comes on the heels of an ongoing story and for those who haven't followed it it's president trump's racist tweets against foreign 5 congresswoman where he insulted them and said that they have to go back to the countries they came from now 3 of them were actually born in the united states and all of them of course have the american citizenship which is a prerequisite of becoming congress mental congresswoman here in the united states but these 4 nonwhites. 6 congress women the ideal opponents for president trump he's really trying hard to make them the faces off the democratic party for being what he says radical socialists in fact there are simply progressive and having ideas like free health care free education but that obviously attacking them goes down very well with donald trump supporters you know over we should point out there

is a new opinion poll out since. those tweets. for congresswomen the july poll by n.p.r. p.b.s. and nearest college shows approval rating among registered voters you have reached a new high of 44 percent and again that's an after trump's twitter attacks against those 4 progressive democratic congresswoman including alexandria calls you. so busy before we run out of time let me ask you what do these numbers tell us. well the approval rating is still low in comparison but at the same time it's the highest that this particular poll has ever recorded and that comes after his series of racist tweets so it does seem like he's successful with what he's doing and he's actually even admitting that he was asked recently by a reporter you not afraid that a these tweets could be considered racist and he said no not at all because those a lot of people like what i'm saying here and that is now obviously reflected in

these recent polls that the more he is inside doing this kind of hate speech the more at least his voter base or parts of his voter base are voting or supporting him and seeing thinking that is what he's saying there it is really over what is to los it will be coming 2020 alexion all the trump is playing with fear here and he's done that before and you just have to look back to the midterm elections for example where he instead of focusing on the booming economy you focused on a caravan track getting closer to the southern border of the united states that he believes is the biggest threat for the united states and we're going to get a similar election campaign in 2020 for sure we're going to very oversold on the story for us in washington tonight over thank you. well the day is almost gone the conversation continues online you'll find us on twitter either at the w.

news or you can follow me at or at golf t.v. don't forget to use the hash tag the day every member whatever happens between now and then tomorrow is another day we'll see you then everybody.
