biala gassed transfer. managed by. the for. 50 w. news live from berlin boris johnson calls on brussels to open the deal. through the group agreement negotiated by my producer has been 3 times rejected by this house its terms are interchangeable to this problem and i'm sure this country. but he also says that he is for pairing to crash out of the e.u.

without a deal we will have reaction and analysis from london also coming up celebrations on the streets of puerto rico after the governor was heart over the euro announces his resignation it calms after the leaked chats of messages between him and members of his administration that revealed in shocking contempt for the public. and after a day of record breaking heat in 3 european countries people brace for get more extreme conditions today and they do their best to stay cool. i'm sorry kelly welcome to the program the u.k.'s new prime minister boris johnson has just given his 1st address to parliament offering a sweeping optimistic vision of a britain without the e.u. he outlined his approach to brag. checking the current divorce deal as quote

unacceptable and appealing to brussels to reopen negotiations at the same time he made it clear that he is not afraid of no deal scenario the minister very forthright boris johnson making his 1st address to parliament as prime minister he repeated his promise to execute brigs that by october 31st under any circumstances . i would prefer to leave the e.u. with a deal i would much prefer. i believe that it is possible even at this late stage and i will work back hard to make it happen. but certain things need to be clear the withdrawal agreement negotiated by my previous has been 3 times rejected by this house its terms are unacceptable to this parliament and to this country but we take european union he says should rethink its refusal to renegotiate remain to us

we must turbo charge our preparations if they do or if they do know we will of course have to leave the u.k. without an agreement under article 50. the u.k. is better prepared for that situation than many believe. the opposition says johnson is setting a dangerous course but has called for a new public vote and if the country is deeply worried that the new prime minister overestimates himself those recklessly advocating jail won't be the ones who lose out if the prime minister has confidence in his plan once he's decided what it is he should go back to the people with that plan earlier johnson's cabinet met for the 1st time they've been labelled team leave dominated by hard line breaks the team is johnson has set his government on course for a tussle with brussels. let's bring in barbara vale who is standing by now

outside of parliament and barbara barr a stance and says that this is the 1st day of a new approach and it certainly isn't it. it's quite hard line if that's what you mean sarah and of course she puts the pistol to brussels and said give me what i want script the irish back stop or else and or else it's quite clear we've heard it is britain would crash out of some european union with how to deal with all the consequences it has for both sides want particularly for britain of course for a chance and for losses those over serious economists here say that no deal breaks it could change the british economy and cause it to lose about 13000000000 pounds but those have figures that boris johnson of course doesn't want to hear nor would he mention them we sort of says it's all going to be great if you only optimistic enough that smallness the position he puts himself in and we have to ask ourselves

is there any room factually in brussels for maneuver is there really any room room left for compromise or is he in fact headed straight into the no deal breaker bar for how is brussels likely to react you think i mean you've spent a lot of time there. been there done that and of course is what brussels says at this point in time because we've been through this whole rigmarole world was dominant rap who's no now foreign minister here used to be directed minister last year in and he was in brussels at the negotiating table and they've sort of pulled their irish backs up for us and back and force them back and he said of course britain can't accept it and they use it but we have to have it we have to protect ireland and they keep borders open and so all these arguments have been exchanged really acknowledge the m i mean it's and they've been repeated hundreds of times so the question really is is within boris johnson really very very sort of

new and strict and seemingly harsh redlines is there actually somehow a bit of room where you could say ok we had some embellish meant we makes this so the. a bit softer we added timeline something that he could then say are you have big victory i can take this home and we can pass the surprise element nobody knows at the moment barbara what do you think that we could see over the next couple of months domestically on the political front there in the u.k. because i mean we have boris johnson for example firing half of teresa mayes parliament we also know that he has a divided parliament there's a lot of speculation that in fact what he could want is new elections. yet also has an incredibly divided party because if you look at this cabinet it's full of bricks cheers it's full of hardliners right wingers and the more moderate elements that was present on the trees in may as every one of them had to leave and

was sacked so he really made up his mind what he wants what he wants from his cabinet and he has really shown as the direction he's going in now he also knows that he has only a majority of 2 that counts for nothing even in the best of times to people who would not be present or would not vote for him so he is really balancing on a knife edge and many say he is a ready preparing for snap elections because he has surrounded himself with people from the leave campaign the referendum in 201616 will lead him and the campaign to success then and he wants them to help him to win in the general election now that is a bit further down the road it might have maybe in october if things really are set to explode or implode here in westminster it is an absolute possibility barbara faisal in london thank you. let's get

a quick check now 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 and 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 is 1st missile test since the leader kim jong un and donald trump agreed to revive nuclear talks last month they come before planned a joint us south korean military exercise. and a high speed train traveling from brussels to london has been evacuated when temperatures inside reached more than 50 degrees celsius around 600 people including a baby who was 4 months old were trapped inside of the train when it stalled on the tracks due to a power outage it took 2 hours for a replacement train to arrive. in honduras more than 28000 people have

fallen ill with dengue fever at least 50 have died so far health authorities describe it as the worst emergency in the country in the last half century things could deteriorate further because the rainy season begins in a few months and that will provide fertile conditions for the mosquitoes that spread the disease it's. you're watching news still to come on the program if you're in europe you know it is hot out there we will report on the record breaking heat wave that has got everyone seeking really. the 1st of puerto rico where the governor. has announced that he will resign it comes after mass demonstrations in the capital san juan provoked by an exchange of offensive chat messages between and colleagues at the top of the government when the message is laid to many puerto ricans demanded the politician should step down a media. it's

a quiet but tense moment as protesters listen to this latest announcement. then the jubilation takes over the streets of san juan puerto rico's governor carl rochelle your confirms he will step down at the mo i have come to the following decision with sadness i hereby announce that i will resign from the position of governor affective on friday august 2nd 2019. at 5 in the afternoon. and his decision to resign resign your it's giving in to the pressure of mass protests that have mounted in the past 2 weeks they were set off by a league that revealed he had exchanged offensive messages about homosexuals women and hurricane victims with his top advisors carol kerry he wanted ricky to step down not only because of all the obscene it is an insult he said on the charts but

also because of over corruption we have to put up with for decades we're going ahead and getting rid of the corrupt who believe they cannot be removed this is the start of a new era within seconds they could remove a governor i hope they can also remove a fiscal control board but i'm a. 40 year old across and your had to face the possible impeachment process over the scandal with his decision now he has become the 1st chief executive to resign in the short history of the u.s. territory which has recently struggled with both an economic crisis and corruption . in spain the prime minister pedro sanchez faces a vote of confidence today and if he loses it it could mean that the country's 4th election in as many years would take place sanchez has been unable to form a coalition government since his 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 a far left party have stalled. a mouse has to mandate that it be given several key

cabinet positions before it will agree to join the government yes. it's not his max and there he is standing by for us at the spanish parliament and the dread so what exactly happens if sanchez doesn't get enough votes today. well the question is at this moment not if you get some the votes person has finished speaking in parliament and he apologized for the deadlock so right now it does not look like he will get the simple majority that he needs he will not get the backing of the far left but they must party his would be coalition partner in the left coalition so this would mean in 2 months time if he does not get the backing then we will be back here in september and have the whole process over again to know their votes and if things don't change until then then this could possibly mean another of a new elections in november and this would mean spaniards spanish voters would have

to go to the polls for the 4th. and we spoke to some of the people here madrid and they were not too fond of the situation let's have a listen. because they are sunset as i think mr sanchez actually wants to have a new election there's no other explanation for what's happening because he'll forget a measure to repeat the election would be nonsense i would vote for the same party as i did the last time ok what the m.p.'s. 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 and then simply they always misrepresenting us so i think that you know they want to be in agreement as he go to know what i see myself nodding again because i don't think the politicians have any interest in reaching an agreement. and that he had plenty of time but they've done nothing as always they've underestimated the left france is clear that when he does you know. what

they're most up with a little kid in england you can hear the frustration among people bear max what are the main points of contention in really tense a coalition with the leftist alliance you need us but in the us. this is mostly a power play essentially this is about who gets which post who gets which piece of the cake and essentially how much power to most wants to be an active part of the government they want to they want to cause change sure and therefore they need that he the proper role is in the cabinets and the sources party is sanchez is not willing to give that to them earlier in the in when he was when he was speaking he said he he put a lot of blame on pajamas and said that the public this is the head of the of today most wants just wants to control and this wants the power to basically control what the socialist party is doing so there's a lot of blaming going on there's a lot of lack of trust on both sides and there's not enough

a willingness to compromise from both sides also max new elections what does that mean for sanchez. well it's hard to say that at this point a centrist party is the strongest party they've they've come out strong in the polls despite all that's all that's happening in spanish politics at the moment so . some say this is a gamble for sanchez that he's just waiting for new elections to come out stronger than before and possibly being able to to govern on his own but then on the other side his voters are very critical the left is very critical the cold hold all this his efforts or his not efforts against him and then another issue that is coming up in september is the trial and the verdict on the capital and separatist leaders which is a huge and very divisive issue here in spain and an issue where sanchez hasn't been very outspoken on hasn't been willing to act on a lot of people also hold that against him so it's a gamble. max sander in madrid thank you.

now the president of tunisia say he has died at the age of $92.00 he was north africans 1st democratically elected leader and came to power in $24.00 team after the country's longtime dictator was ousted in the arab spring although the end of his term saw political strife a subsea helped usher in a stable transition to democracy and was a champion of women's rights he had recently announced that he would not seek another term to allow space for young people he's been hurt in the hospital since the end of june with a severe illness. let's bring in correspondent sara marsh was in the tunisian capital tunis so a what do you think his legacy is going to be. well if you had a subsidy has the history of to country since the beginning of the republic and i think 56 when he was actually a minister of interior minister. in the sixty's on 60 s.

and he just wrong with drawn from politics under dictatorship ventilate and only came back to the political scene and 2011 after the revolution and as you mentioned he was the 1st truly. president to come true and was remarked especially for his push towards women's rights and a lot of free will and heritance and he managed to keep the country together during the period of a lot of political quarrels on terrorist attacks and 20 to steam but there were also who a lot of institutional reforms and legal reforms where he has been lagging behind a lot of political fights both within his party and with other political forces. some questions on the lesson on respect to sion. now that he has passed on what does that mean for to me just path toward democracy going forward. well there have been elections scheduled anyway the end of the year

both parliamentary presidential elections on your lecture just announced that they will meet us afternoon and propose a new sketch show. with his posse now has between $45.90 days to elect a new president so the presidential elections that have been planned for november will most probably just be advanced a little bit and out in september or october so things are more or less on track on this on display however it is one major issue when it comes to the legal proceedings to follow now which the subsidy have the result that he was selling off because the $24000.00 constitution kristie is the creation of a constitutional court within one year and that hasn't happened and it's actually does constitutional court it doesn't exist which should stay in power at the head of the republic right now so it is a bit of confusion how things will go forward now but most likely it will the

president be the president of the parliament and will take over as an interim as an interim head of state there america in tunis thank you. now facebook shares have been rising after it was announced the forecast beating 2nd quarter revenues of all $7000000000.00 this just hours after the social network was hit 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 ordered facebook to set up an independent committee to oversee its privacy policy c.e.o. mark zuckerberg said that his company was in the process of making major changes that would signal quote a new chapter for facebook. let's get more now we're joined by rob watts who is from d f you business so an enormous find isn't it it really is we believe it's the biggest find has ever been given to a company for the pusing the previous

e views is come from as you say the federal trade commission in the united states they've been looking into in general previously issues at facebook they started with the cambridge analytical scandal which you may remember it was this british political consultancy that managed to get access to the $87000000.00 facebook uses and abuses but the f.t.c. then broadened out their investigation to also look at other aspects of privacy of facebook including their facial recognition technology and it's concluded that repeatedly facebook undermined the promises that it made to its uses about privacy and has given them this $5000000.00 fine it's also told them they've got to set up a previously panel that's independent most like a book can't be on it they will oversee the previous e policies and for his part mark zuckerberg has responded he's given a rather chippy address to facebook employees in which he said this is the moment

where we stop change and this is a new chapter for facebook he says but the news hasn't been all bad for facebook as it knows so well minute we hear they're getting this massive fine the next that gets put into context by some. impressive financial results $16600000000.00 in revenues jory the 2nd though they're laughing all the way to the bank failure because he look at that 2nd quarter result also includes a $2600000000.00 profit in which in which they did resort $3000000000.00 in fines during that period the revenues are up 28 percent on the same time last year the number of facebook users is up 8 percent 32400000000 regular users of facebook around the world now so it seems like it doesn't matter how much about publicity it gets about privacy or about fake news people are still using facebook and still joining facebook and it stopped continues to rise on you no one will recall when mark zuckerberg testified before congress and you saw the lawmakers he didn't

really seem to understand the concept of what facebook was doing but it seems as if there is greater scrutiny developing of facebook within the united states isn't there yet it seems like those politicians have had to sort of bone up on facebook and get to grips with the issues without obviously we've had this 5000000000 fine but that that follows another 100000000000 payment the facebook had to make a previously concerns from another set of regulators in the u.s. that was the securities and exchange commission we've also heard that the u.s. department of justice is going to be taking a close look at the biggest web firms in the united states we assume that will include facebook to look at whether or not they've been abusing their position in the markets whether or not they can stifle their competition and also let's not forget that facebook is planning to roll out its own crypto currency believe russia and that's upset central banks all around the world and it's also upset president trump apparently and the white house says that it will be looking very closely at the robots from the t.v.

business thank you. it's 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 wave in as many months gripped the continent today the warnings have been extended to france and spain. on the banks of the regular say and in paris it's getting hot and sticky. so mostly i want to save you some rain 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 waters to cool off by the river it was at least kill enough for a bit of gentle exercise. underneath
