what. thank you person is new prime minister is walking into a bridge that mess partially of his own making on his 1st day at downing street boris johnson promised he could fix this. the doctors the doom's does the glooms does they are going to get it wrong again and we're going to fulfill the repeated promises of parliament to the people and come out of the e.u. look over the 31st no ifs or buts and with no deal if necessary he promised to get a new post break that agreement from brussels and said europe would be to blame if that failed and it is of course vital at the same time that we prepare for the remote possibility the brussels refuses any further to negotiate and we are forced to come out with no deal not because we want that outcome. arriving for work his

new cabinet members seen your posts have gone to hard line breaks that supporters among them the new foreign minister dominic robb a euro skeptic who is opposed to the divorce deal offered by brussels and the man who organized parliamentary business jacob reese mog the conservative party's most proud and briggs it here. protests in central london show the new prime minister faces fiery resistance the opposition says the people need an election to decide if they like the new government and its agenda. let's bring in now for more on this of barber faisal who is standing by outside parliament barbara sweeping changes as we have heard it to the cabinet with one name certainly telegraphing a lot about his new makeup and his direction and i'm thinking about dominic rob.

yeah the new foreign minister and. really shows his hand here and where you want to go politically because dominic raff who is the brics administer under trees i'm a who sort of threw in the towel last year when he didn't like that she was looking for compromise was so he's a hard liner on the exit front and also he is well known in brussels and not particularly liked for his confrontational style a man who is more on diplomatic and unforgiving than is probably good for his new clothes so looking at for instance the iran crisis that is the 1st thing in his inbox he will have to learn some diplomatic skills very quickly. we've had some reaction to johnson's changes and this call for a sort of can do approach and getting things done have in a way. yes the newspapers today here in london are sort of rather

shrill in their reactions that talk about a carnage of blood fast for decades there hasn't been that there hasn't been such a summary sacking of ministers when there was a change of government of and of prime minister he more or less cold everybody who was connected to reason and who did not support him in the leadership competition and that was much harsher and harder than many expected even from within his own party there are grumbles to be heard already from the moderates they say this is a right wing cabinet it's made up from bricks and tears and this is not going to be able and it's not to be in a position to unite as the conservative party so boris johnson obviously voted for site and not trying to sort of harmonize and get people together barbara faisal with the very latest from london thank you. to puerto rico now the governor of ricardo rosario has announced his resignation

after days of mastery protests in the u.s. territory he said that he would continue working until august the 2nd to allow an orderly transition he's been at the center of a messaging scandal that has already led top officials to resign leaked messages revealed him mocking his constituents along with sexist profane and homophobic remarks. correspondent alexander phenomena was in puerto rico's capital san juan when she broke when that's this news broke and here's what she told us about the governor's resignation a short while ago. on sunday he was talking about that it is important for him to stay in to stay in power because what he has achieved for the island it became clear he didn't have any other choice than to step down after internal telegram messages were leaked messages text messages in the which the governor made and

homophobic comments he mocked victims of hurricane irene he made jokes about shooting the son who on the mirror and. all of that people felt that it was so disgusting that this process started to drop and as the brought to continue so the group grew the pressure on the governor to step down. alexander phenomena reporting from puerto rico let's get a quick check of some other stories making news around the world 3 separate explosions have rocked the afghan capital kabul one was a suicide bomber and targeted a bus with afghan government workers the explosions left at least 7 people dead and dozens wounded no one has yet claimed responsibility. south korea's ministry of defense has reported that north korea has fired 2 short range missiles from its

east coast into the sea it's pyongyang's 1st missile test since leader kim jong un and donald trump agreed to revive nuclear talks last month they come before planned joint us south korean military exercises and a high speed train traveling from brussels to london has been evacuated when temperatures inside reached more than 50 degrees celcius around $600.00 people including a baby aged 4 months were trapped inside of that train when it stalled on the tracks due to a power outage it took 2 hours for a replacement train to arrive. spain's prime minister petro sanchez faces a vote of confidence today. and if he loses it could mean the country's 4th election in as many years sanchez was been on has been excuse me unable to form a coalition government 1st party failed to win a majority in the april 28th elections the deadline to strike a deal was today but talks between his socialist party and the far left party have stalled. since demanding that it be given several key cabinet positions before it

will agree to joins the government. business was never here let's bring in t.v. is max and there he is standing by for us at the spanish parliament in madrid so max what exactly happens if sanchez doesn't get enough votes again today. or. was there a better sense this facing the sick a no confidence vote 2 days a 2nd vote in the week and for dow he needs a simple majority meaning he needs more yes the no votes but still he can't do it on planes himself he can't do it only with the help of the socialist party he needs the backing of the far left put them a sparty a party he disagrees with on. key issues there if he does not is not able to secure this majority today then the same no confidence votes the same process will happen later in september and to september 23rd and september 25th and it's not feel it what's going to happen then the socialist party is still the strongest party your

poll show that there is coming on out stronger than before despite everything that's going on in parliament right now but still a lot can change until then and ultimately if you fails to secure the votes in september this could mean that the country will be heading to new elections in november again this will be the 4th time in just 4 years and this is something that a lot of spends a lot of people who talk to him the brits are not too fond about the 7 listen what they had to send. were going to say oh sunset there's that i think mr sanchez actually wants to have a new election there's no other explanation for what's happening here of course because you get a match it through. the election would be nonsense i would vote for the same party as i did the last time ok well. i think the political parties should be clear about what they want they don't say yes or no but that's what the citizens want to hear from them. they always misrepresenting us so i think that you know they want to be in agreement as if you're going to see myself voting again because i don't think

the politicians have any interest in reaching an agreement. like that he has had plenty of time but they've done nothing as always they've underestimated the left 1st. you know their most well they will look at and it's so rare that you see that actually back that you know so many people are frustrated in that way on the streets you're normally we have a diversity of opinion. just walk us through the background here what are the main points of contention in the potential coalition with the leftist alliance when he does put him us. what is that will the actual left coalition look like. is pushing for influential ministerial posts such as labor these are posts that the socialist party do not trust put it was with them because they are an anti austerity party and they don't

have they don't have a lot of trust among spanish and especially spanish business here so there's a lot of distrust in both sides and right now it's basically heading for who gets which posts and fighting for power. max how crude new elections help sanchez because i mean there seems the jury seems to really be out on the point. so as i said earlier syesha still pretty strong in the polls he's the socialist party is still very strong they're still coming out. first in all aspects but this could change until september this could change to november a lot of people who voted for the socialist party a lot of left voters are very critical and a lot of them could hold this against him that he wasn't able to form a government and actually quite frankly some some cues him of actually playing this card playing for time actually just waiting for a new election so he can form

a stronger more influential govern possibly by himself and then also in september another big issue that is happening here that we will have a trial on the council and separatist leaders and the possible verdicts and this will definitely come out before the november elections and this is something that could would definitely influence. possible outcome for pedro sanchez who was not very outspoken on the issue before max sander with the view from madrid thank you. well people here in europe are preparing for more high temperatures today yesterday germany the netherlands and belgium had record highs as the 2nd extreme heat ray wave in as many months crypts the continent today the warnings have been extended for france and spain. on the banks of the river say and in paris it's getting hot and sticky. so most of what i want to say to swim but i can't right now. with the mercury continuing to rise

right across here at paddle boarders stick to the water in frankfurt and people had a similar idea in munich flocking to parks and jumping into the water to cool off by the river it was at least kill enough for a bit of gentle exercise out. of. the waters no us well it is the ice pack which means very cold but it's fun i'd say the water's about 20 or 23 degrees. 20 degrees the you kidding it's more like 15 or 10 degrees. on wednesday germany recorded it highest temperature since records began 40.5 degrees celsius in the west of the country it breaks the previous record of 40.3 section 2015. this is the 3rd time this decade we've had 40 degree heat in germany and the gaps are getting smaller this extreme heat is definitely

due to climate change. and it's the 2nd time this summer that europe has baked in record temperatures the advice is to stay hydrated and do whatever you can to keep my. word. but. you're watching news live from berlin i'm sara kelly thank you so much for watching after a day. if you.

feel. regulatory trouble privacy complaints and now a $5000000000.00 fine for facebook mark zuckerberg social network is on the fire but the numbers are still convincing vestas undeterred. also everyone knows the new manager number 10 downing street but who's the new guy in

number 11 finance minister has the toughest job in boris johnson's new cabinet he will have to guide the british economy into breaks. crowds today will the new turkish central bank chief turn out to be president. and. this is your business as well facebook shares have been rising and extended trading after. beating 2nd quarter revenues of almost $17000000000.00 this just hours after u.s. authorities hit the social network with a spectacular find the u.s. federal trade commission ordered facebook to pay $5000000000.00 over its failure to protect user data the f.t.c. also mint mandated the network to set up an independent committee to oversee its privacy policy c.e.o. mark zuckerberg says his company was in the process of making major changes that signaled quote new chapter for facebook.

delaney is standing by in frankfurt chelsea we've seen companies hit with big fines a lot recently and shares usually went down on the news if the underlying numbers were still good why is it different this time. that's fair for a lot of companies but these big tech giants they sort of are exempt from those rules and particularly with facebook people called the tough tough line company because it has been so resilient to all of these privacy concerns the cameras and i want to scandal these things have really been overhanging facebook for years and the stock has only risen one reason why this is having a huge impact though is facebook had already warned that they were going to be taking this settlement with the f.t.c. they had said earlier this year that they could have a $5000000000.00 settlement they set aside some money but they also had expected maybe a little bit worse from the f.t.c. with the f.t.c. is saying is that they need to set up this committee. holds markets responsible but

there have been floating around about facebook was going to have to sort of stop collecting user data in the same way really they're sort of getting away with keeping their main business in line here so there's definitely some relief among investors just about the conditions of the settlement well despite the fines shows that the coincidence criticism of young people a gruesome turning away from facebook stalking more than 50 percent so far as you want to invest in still loving facebook so much. well facebook just continues to post really strong numbers in this and the 2nd quarter of the revenue is up almost 30 percent that's pretty normal for facebook they have continuously posted double digit revenue growth they're still adding users they're still seeing advertising growth so even even with all of these perception problems their business is still growing very quickly so investors are really focusing on

nada rather than these regulatory concerns so it's a dilemma in front of thank you very much. to britain over the keys to 10 downing street have officially been handed to boris johnson the mark to day as a prime minister with an overhaul of the cabinet appointments is suggested surveyed he was a banker before he was a politician and now he'll run the treasury as chancellor of the exchequer that's what the british call the finance minister he will guide the british economy through breaks it and possibly one without a deal with the e.u. even though heartbreaks it is something many businesses on both sides of the channel say they want to avoid. embarrassment could be the least the u.k. has to worry about in the doomsayers of its economy a proven right on the day that boris johnson gets to work on his promise to deliver

breaks it within a few months trading partners are warning him to go gently. german business leaders point out that even under his previous essay to resume a trade between the 2 countries had been falling figures put the decline in u.k. exports to germany at more than 6 percent between january and may the united kingdom used to be the number 5 trade partner of germany and last year this fell down to number 6 and this year also to number 7 so there is not directed at all and we can already see the negative impacts reacting to boris johnson's victory in the conservative leadership with out on tuesday the world trade organization said it wanted to see the smoothest possible breaks it pointing out the e.u. accounts for 47 percent of u.k. exports but having been elected by tory members impatient to get out of the european union boris johnson will be considering who to listen to. and

now to some of the other business stories making headlines today regulators in the us seem to be set to approve a merger between german owns t. mobile usa and to sprint according to media reports the 2 companies america's 3rd and 4th largest mobile phone networks says in japan soft bank which owns sprint rose on the news. this un says it plans to slash more than 12000 jobs over 3 years is 110th of its global workforce is with sales hit by scandal surrounding its former chairman carlos go on the japanese carmaker says it will also cut production by 10 percent. tesla has again pushed back to the end of this year. it's target for reaching profitability in our must company reported a 2nd quarter loss of $408000000.00 that was worse than expected but an improvement on the previous quarters loss of $700000000.00. is

a hit record here in germany had no rain is in sight that's a problem for many farmers it's another year of struggling with jobs throughout many farmers are expecting a grain harvest the eastern state of bob hawke the situation is especially. it's hot and dry here in eastern brandenburg and it has been for weeks the farmers are now harvesting as fast as they can before their crops are ruined they've been at it for more than 12 hours. we have to start early and work as long as possible into the evenings. and of advanced stuff is a farmer and he isn't pleased this year like last year he estimates his right harvest will be far below average due to the long dry spell the smaller plants can't even be used but for those who. think when the hits may be big but there

wasn't enough water to form the roots there's nothing up there it's empty and that's the problem this year i assume that 30 to 40 percent of the heads are empty and it was like that last year too that makes it even worse when it's the law. and it's the right that survive the heat the best he says at the moment it looks even worse for wheat it hasn't affected every farmer but most. will see the weather extremes sooner and stronger in brandenburg it may not be the case in other german states but when it comes to drought we're the 1st to feel the pinch. the farmers here have been struggling with extreme weather for years this used to be potato country today the tubers no longer grow in the dry sandy soil here more resistant strains might be the solution when all missing the wheat farmers have to look outwards we have to adapt our past planting goals to the demands we have now and the climate conditions today that means we have to develop tolerance strains and

that's the problem we face to counteract both floods and droughts. it's avoiding too few of us or. if you talk then doth doesn't want to complain the harvest hasn't been bad everywhere but if the weather in brandenburg continues to worsen they'll need more robust breeds that can adapt to climate change it seems the only way they'll be able to survive. to turkey now where the central bank is expected to make a statement about interest rates later today in roughly 2 hours investors and analysts are watching with keen interest because just over 2 weeks ago the turkish president was have to fire the central bank chief because he had refused to follow his demands for lower rates some say point interest rate is currently set at a whopping 24 percent but it's a dangerous game investors see a truly independent central bank as vital for a stable economy at

a one though doesn't seem to have. from brand new subway lines to the inauguration of a new bridge across the boss purse and a gigantic mosque retch up to it everyone is keen to work with surprise always eager to praise turkey and its economic might. but the country has been experiencing a long term slowdown a major factor has been investors scared off by the country's worsening image on human rights the lira has been on a turbulent ride over the last few years. but everyone hasn't been slow to lay the blame and recently attacked the central bank for failing to lower interest rates so you would buy stuff for years then you. had to there was a person who was not conforming to instructions given on the subject to a monetary policy this mother of all evil called interest rates. we believed at the

time person had to be changed. it's almost. the banks governor who had repeatedly resisted such instructions was sacked earlier this month his relation and is considered a loyal heir to one supporter it's a move that has added to growing uncertainty on the financial markets. i'm now joined by johnson an economist at the economics we think tank this is a president out of one pushes for interest rate cuts most economists say that is dangerous what's your view. well from a technical point to feel i mean if you look at the latest inflation numbers and if you look at the latest interest rate appears that from a technical point of view there is indeed margin for decreasing interest rates a bit however that you know is you know the decision is not solely take think oh

it's also lies you know it has a cost of the fact that it turkey still has many vulnerabilities bought from any real say 34 and you don't need that perspective but also from a foreign policy perspective so all in all i think there is room for a. freeze in interest rates but i doubt that it will create the kind of impact that station is expecting and it this relationship between interest rate then inflation and in the direction in which they're in station things they impact each other i think there's a fundamental flaw in the. johnson thank you very much . that's it for me and the business to you here in berlin thank you very much for watching. i'm not laughing at the germans because sometimes i am not nice and laughing with the times we better have been thanks deep into the german culture. you don't seem ridiculous grumbling there you go it's all about who
