the 1st time since. as a leader of the things that. we did the mantra of the campaign that has just gone by deliver bricks it unite the country and defeat. his message just perhaps and so i think as a set you 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 sure bars for making the shot that. we're going to rise and he will reduce the stilt diets and that you can see. them looking forward to have. a good looking great nation with him that many different and difficult. to tackle together. break this to just.

also coming up 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 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 to resume may he spent 3 years as prime minister trying to take britain out of the european union for a motto busy was breaks it means breaks it but we now know breaks it meant exit for to 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 breaks it unite the country and defeat jeremy corbett and that is what it is. i know i know someone somewhere has already pointed out that deliver in night and defeat was not the perfect acronym for an election campaign since all caution it spells dot but they forgot the final easy my friends easy to enter giants and i say i say to all the doctors. we are going to energize the country we're going to get brits done on ok the thought it was going to take advantage of all don't you know 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. know 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 well 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 do so doesn't 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. john you know i mentioned that this is the 1st time that tend to. be going through. let's talk about what the history 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 it elect him we knew that he can appeal to those people now he's going to be really tested in terms of how fall 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 bring in he looked like he wants a general election to happen because of course that would 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 i want you to 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 that 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 don't think you look remotely 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 pick 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 tender crisis that is not going to be just talked out of the room it will not happen he will need a lot of diplomacy and other skills that he doesn't seem to possess in abundance to sort of monsters things like that so that is the one side of 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 are you ready to 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 you is 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 persona from the guy who is going to be moving into downing street tomorrow yeah it's a good point you made to barbara mean if you're expectations are not too high even 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 place is exactly the same problem entry arithmetic that theresa may face if she's new to palm and it's making a decision about bricks it will no brakes it has various different variants breaks it in its knowing and just as teresa made couldn't get a break to deal for parliament boris johnson is not going to be able to get a new deal breaks. free palm and indeed the parliament show position 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 that powered if they need to to take away the authority and power then they know they'll 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 palm tree 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 too 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 reach them and doesn't have a lot of time either i mean october 31st will be here before you have a parliament recess they are 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 of instances between the deep desire for friendship and free trade and mutual support and security and defense between britain and our european partners and the small plane is designed. 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 motional sort of got through and says 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 brick city here we don't really know because it was it was rumored

that he actually wrote a pro remain piece for his newspaper column as well as in private some woman because published 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 part in concrete ways of getting bricks done and that's what we've not heard from boris johnson i think those longings that he just focuses basically trying to play to the julian says because within the conservative party and he doesn't want to choose between so i just see that as a need for kind of an internal audiences consumption and i consider 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 take a listen. wills politics is right. colorful people these the case if you can't deal with them 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 stick clearly to the position that this is the best deal possible. and i think this is the approach the european leaders will have.
