is threatening sanctions against companies building the plan. i'm calling asman welcome to g.w. and our special coverage of the u.k. general election and exit poll in the british election is suggesting a massive victory for boris johnson's conservatives one that would give him the majority that he needs to ratify his bracks a deal and take the u.k. out of the european union british media releasing the 1st exit poll about an hour ago and it shows a landslide for the conservatives you see the numbers there on that wall winning $368.00 seats that would give the party a clear majority in the parliament which has $650.00 seats is also a historic loss for jeremy clarkson's labor party losing some 71 seats as those projections show so we end up with 100. in $91.00 of course vote counting will be

going on throughout the night we'll be bringing you those results as they come in but some constituencies are expected to be coming in soon or here's a breakdown now of that exit poll there are projected to be $368.00 seats for the tories that's a gain of some 50 seats $191.00 for labor that is a massive loss 13 for the lib dems 55 for the s. and p. one for the greens and 22 going to other parties including cumbria the welsh nationalist party we have a coverage throughout the night we have team coverage here in d w joining me in studio is bob mudder you gave politics analyst and standing by in london for us is correspondent barbara vai's all she is in london now barbara 1st of all you're in the u.k. how is the u.k. reacting to these numbers how surprising are these projected results.

it's people are stunned i mean the few reactions you get at this time of cory's so once you if you're outside here and standing near downing street and on the other hand the parliament we're just in front of a small pub where parliamentarians and politicians and their aides like to go and drink but if everybody is stunned because the polls had said during the last 2 or 3 days that the 2 sides were narrowing and so it might end up with another hung parliament or the tories might just scrape in was a small majority and now it was something that looks like a landslide and we have to take this with a pinch of salt one has to wait throughout the night as our votes are counted but the chandan see seems to be quite clear and boris johnson absolutely after looking at this result when he got his wish he he has what he wanted him

a tory majority to do as he likes particularly was breaks it and of course in a lot of other social and economic issues so he is the happiest man in london the u.k. and maybe the universe universe tonight absolutely this is exactly the reason why he called this election i mean it was a simple campaign message wasn't it for boris johnson to do is simply get breakfast done is that in the end do you think barbara the message that resonated the most voters. it seems that yeah you looked at this campaign and he said it was full of deaths information that's really been weaponized during this election campaign and was full of fake news and bitterness and hatred and and just just never see generally in tone but all boris johnson said whenever he turned up somewhere debating and he tried to do that as little as possible not to make any substantial mistakes all the all said and on to every sort of question will get rex

it done and then things will somehow magically get better he never really got concrete about what would get better than but people choose to believe him you can't say it differently than that they want to believe as they want that things will change after breakfast it has been done which of course it will not on the 31st of generally formally yes but then after that the negotiations with the e.u. about the future about the trade relationship in everything else will just begin and they're going to be hard and tough and long so this is seems to be as you say the message that resonated those most and people just wanted this it whether they really believe this is another matter but they want to do this and so they obviously voted in droves for boris johnson. bob mudge here in studio with me now rob you know as we heard the projections before we got those exit poll numbers or

projecting somewhere between a small majority for the conservatives maybe even a hung parliament we're seeing numbers much much bigger for the conservatives what's your reaction again i think we know the polls have been wrong in the past but i think this is as bob was saying is stunning because it is such a looks like it's going to be such a clear majority no one is expecting that and i think it does indeed boil down to that very populist message 3 words get. i think boris johnson has managed to play into people's apathy and the weariness about brakes it's trying to get a sense that seek it is absolutely fatigue and again as bob was saying. it's not going to be done by the end of generate because obviously that's when the process the transition period actually starts. or the johnson has said that he thinks he can wrap up a deal by the end of the year. i think is wishful thinking but again that

message hasn't got across to the voters that all they saw was they get breaks it done and then we can move on to addressing some of the serious domestic problems of the country has needs to address that seem like at least on the conservative side many of those issues were a bit swept under the rug they were in danger and it's interesting because if you look at labor's manifest. where they were trying to get across the message that they will boost wealth and they will invest money and one of the leading fiscal institutes and she said the latest numbers add up as opposed to the tories 100 pounds john so again all that seems of falling by the wayside because the focus has been so dominant in terms of. his message to get breaks it down i want to ask you about jeremy corbyn now i really if these numbers hold as sturrock last for

labor 1st time falling potentially under 200 seen since since the 1930 s. what's next now for labor what's next for jeremy corben well to put it mildly the party is in tatters personally i think i'm not alone in thinking that jeremy coburn is untenable as leader and i expect that we'll hear and see the announcement that he will resign tomorrow morning of course the day tomorrow. but the party seriously needs to try and reinvent itself with the new things because at the moment as we see their message their manifesto obviously doesn't resonate enough the coals of the polarizing figure that coburn has been he said it would be a difficult campaign a detour now to be so much here in the studio with me and bob are available joining us from london for that analysis thank you very much to both let's get a check now of some of the other stories making news around the world the u.s.

senate's has formally recognized that the killing of 1500000 armenians between 10151917 was genocide the resolution is expected to anger turkey which has always denied that there was an organized mass murder senator robert menendez said the u.s. was on the right side of history and polling stations of close in algeria after a tense presidential election in some cities protesters attempted to disrupt the voting in an election that they see as aimed at keeping the established political system in place has been in limbo for months since protests helped oust longtime president abilities to flee. the so-called islamic state says it carried out the attack that killed at least 71 government troops in western niger this week the nighttime assault in a village near the border to mali was the deadliest jihad this have mounted in the region this year. well germany has hit back at u.s.

plans to penalize construction companies that are working on a controversial gas project the nord stream pipeline will carry russian natural gas to germany washington says that's a security risk because it makes europe more dependent on russia berlin insists the 10000000000 euro pipeline is vital to its energy needs german foreign minister eichel moscow says european energy policy is decided in europe not the u.s. . the u.s. plans to impose sanctions on companies and individuals involved in the pipeline project that includes german as well as other european companies the penalties include travel bans and asset freezes companies continuing with north stream to could find themselves cut off from doing business in the u.s. u.s. lawmakers fear the pipeline could give moscow a greater leverage over the german and e.u. energy markets german politicians disagree we in europe think we can decide. for ourselves about our own energy security and their city and i personally do not buy

the argument by the united states saying we are making ourselves more dependent or maybe even completely dependent by russian oil and gas deliveries russia's gas pramono majority stake in the 1200 kilometer long pipeline which will transport natural gas under the baltic sea from russia directly to germany circumventing ukraine and other eastern european countries the project is more than 90 percent complete and is scheduled to start operating in mid 2020 north stream 2 has the potential to double the amount of natural gas germany imports from russia the country needs more gas to ensure energy supplies remain stable as it phases out the use of coal and nuclear power. and as germany goes green policy makers here suspect washington is also worried about the business angle of north stream too. he was obdurate c.r.u.'s produces liquid for tralee and gas using the fracking method

the carbon footprint is worse than coal and they have trouble selling it here on the european market because they aren't competitive that develops peace and whatever the u.s. motives president trump says he will sign the bill into law and implemented as soon as possible. and germany are working together on the north stream project but the 2 countries are also mired in an escalating diplomatic row over the murder of a georgian citizen in berlin. but the german ambassador was summoned to the foreign ministry in moscow on thursday morning to be told that russia was expelling 2 german diplomats they have 7 days to leave the country. the kremlin says know the reasons why. the diplomatic being expelled as a force to return here to measure this measure is unavoidable to have our diplomats were expelled we consider that decision by berlin absolutely baseless we disagree

with it so this is the inevitable response. the spat is over the killing in august of 0 in kind of congo shrilly a georgian who fought for the separatists in the chechen war he was shot in the head twice at close range in a bell in park the suspect a russian citizen was soon arrested german prosecutors suspect russia could be implicated in the killing but say moscow has refused to cooperate in the investigation that's why germany last week expelled 2 russian diplomats the russian government denies any involvement lawmakers in berlin have condemned russia's expulsion of 2 german diplomats. russia's decision comes as no surprise to anybody. about it conveys however the wrong message. and in terms of the matter at hand it's entirely unjustified the suits will be arguing russia's response shows it has a guilty conscience and we expect russia to help clear up the murder was modest

that investigation is still underway in the meantime tensions between germany and russia show no signs of easing. when new zealand police say they have recovered the bodies of 6 people who died during the volcanic eruption on white island off the eastern coast of the country 2 other people are missing and they are presumed dead this was a risky recovery mission scientists have warned that gases on the island after monday's eruption are so toxic and corrosive the taking a single breath could be fatal. i did a reminder now of the top story that we're following for you at this hour an exit poll is pointing to a big lead for british prime minister boris johnson and his conserved. isn't thursday's general election they are on track for a $86.00 seat majority in parliament the labor party led by germany corben is projected to lose some $71.00 seats results would allow johnson to secure britain's
