u.k. analyst rob and roger evans from news standing by in london is the w. correspondent barbara these all for us good morning to all of you today great to have you with us barbara if we could start with you the british political landscape has been reshaped in ways we haven't seen before with defections from labor and some of their biggest strongholds. you know if you allow me i will call this an earthquake because there is hardly another expression even though that has been used so often about lesser events but this really is one because what the tory party managed to do is sort of really break down or break big holes into what was known as the red wall the northern eastern or north western strongholds in the old labor party constituencies constituencies where the party had been sort of voted in for around

a 100 years 11 of those fell and 1919 since 1900 since just the end of the 1st world war they had been a labor parliamentarian a labor m.p. representing that that town so it is really momentous so a great night for the tories boris johnson has all his wishes for christmas and the new year and his next birthday fulfilled he can deliver as he always calls it the bracks it promised the bricks and he wants so urgently germy carbon on the other hand is devastated but even more devastated are the critics within his own party who saw this coming for some months and who warned that they were on the wrong track and then there's some interesting results if you look for instance at the d. u.p.a. the snorer northern irish unionists the party that prop up to resign may's government they lost 2 seats and now for the 1st time in northern ireland the nationalists

have one seat more than the union a so big shift politically there too what we also saw is that the lib liberal democrat bubble has burst completely so swinson the party leader lost her own constituency and they're not going to make any gains whatsoever and so this is really the s.n.p. in scotland is also is on a victory march so is. it really is shifts wherever you look in british politics a really truly momentous night ok roger changes all over the british political landscape today as we just heard from barbara the conservatives breaking through the red wall that she described there what was behind the conservative strong performance well i find myself saying ascensions that so i didn't expect to be saying at the beginning of this long night we have behind those which is i think is what we've done some boris johnson actually i think against all the old he's risen

above the divisiveness that he has and he's a very divisive a lot of people don't like him and he's managed to get his campaign message across through huge swathes of the british population and that campaign message has been very simple was getting reg's it done the right way and said so and time again it's almost all he said throughout the entire election campaign it was a very simple message and i think it's a message that appealed not just to people who voted for brags that goal so for many people he perhaps voted for remain but at this stage simply actually do want to get bragg's it done because it has created such an incredible political stalemate in the country for the last few years and boris johnson is a very you know he's a very large than life kite's right thing you could say he's got a lot of personality like him will love him and certainly you know he's he runs a lot of presidents i think there was even a parents when he made his victory speech at his own seat and you know a speech in south wisely i think you can see that no. i want to thank the people of

this country for turning out to vote in december election we didn't want to do which i think has turned out to be a story. which. gives us know in this new government the chance to respect the democratic will of the british people to change this country for the better and to unleash the potential of the in time people of this country and that is what we will now do and if we are lucky enough to be returned as the polls as the exit polls seem to suggest then that work will begin tomorrow thank you all very much all right i should say don't do more of today. thank you thank you very much thank you. rob a lot of labor voters went over to this man boris johnson what happened

why did they vote for a person others as we heard from roger has has you know been very divisive i'm just wondering now whether one of the figures we saw standing behind bones johnson may have done a better job for labor whether they would have someone like one of the novelty characters in novelty characters i think what you just said about boris johnson holds true for all labor's lost it's down to jeremy colvin he's proved to be such a divisive figure his his manifest of. didn't resonate he didn't have that populist suggesting message the boss johnson that he's had trouble quelling dispelling the allegations of semitism running so it was very difficult for labor. then his supposed said things for. haven't seen in groups terrorist groups hamas. and so i think all that has played into the fact that he just hasn't managed to

hone in on what we have to say that now once where the labor heartlands ok so let's hear now from germany and what he had to say. i want to also make it clear that i will not lead the party in any future general election campaign i will discuss with our party to ensure there is a process now of reflection on this result and on the policies that the party will take going forward and i will lead the party joining not periods to ensure that discussion takes place and we move on into the future. ok journey corben there let's hear now from the early editions of the british newspapers as a check in what they've been saying will go through some of those headlines now hot off the presses here's how they've been describing the ideally express their victory for boris and for bracks that the daily mail rejoice boris set for thumping

when daily mirror nightmare before xmas the nationalist national rather scotland is a different country now barbara this was a huge slap down let's go to london after those headlines are huge slap down for the remain camp when will britain and the rest of europe be seeing britain leaving the e.u. . oh formally amend that seems to be quite simple was a tour of the upcoming tory majority formerly britain will be leaving the e.u. on the 31st of january and there will be a great 3 joy seeing indeed in brecht's at camp and particularly among senior conservatives bought bought all the rest off the promises of boris johnson that it would be done in anyway is just support to blunt the rubbish because then it just begin the negotiations with the european union begins and they're

going to bits are going to be bitter and difficult and lengthy i mean brussels has already been warning the chief negotiator has already been warning off the european union that year i mean it can't be done it's going to take several years and boris johnson has also promised in this election campaign that he's not going to ask for a long nation off the off the interim period he will have to but then you also know that he chaired of his promises he just sort of throws it throws him over his shoulder and they're gone i mean that's yesterday so he might just do that as lightly as he has done was all the things but it is going to be a long long discussion in britain and it's going to be even more devices divisive and the economic consequences will just be to begin to be seen at the end of next year ok we have another discussion coming up as well i would like to let our

viewers know we just have word coming in that there has been confirmation now about that conservative majority that has been confirmed roger another discussion coming up the scottish nationalists we heard the national saying scotland is a different country which so you push what do you think for a referendum on scottish independence now having to replacing if you will the bracks of confusion for britain but was that the super. there's no doubt that the s.n.p. will be pushing for a new referendum on independence what i think for the left life is that they will get a referendum because that would have to be allowed if you like by politicians. boris johnson with us from serbs now has a very strong majority so it seems unlikely that they would. be the policy that oversees the break up of the united kingdom and the in all likelihood as wessex referendum would lead to. scotland goes the nuts you know raises questions about the island for example which was of us should remain in the referendum so i think

we'll see a push for it and of course the s.n.p. will be saying the election result is very strong the election result for them in scotland it loses a very strong result gives them a mandate to push for that referendum where the ghetto is a different matter ok roger thanks very much for that rob thanks for being here as well and thanks to barbara for us in london thanks to our team for that round up early in the morning thanks very much. well 0 pm a leaders work through this election result and what it means for the future of the you in brussels there was agreement on one of the blocks most ambitious proposals in years member states of back plans to drastically slash carbon emissions are aiming at net 0 emissions by the year 2050 s. part of the european commission president on the lion's european green deal. 1st suspense. and then

a little disappointment journalists in brussels knew the result of the u.k. election means one thing that brags it most likely will happen. but leaders focused on another topic that might fundamentally transform the e.u. in the years to come it was very interesting to see the leaders and or seeing and supporting. a complex european green deal we've been debating all the opportunity it brings along that debate took almost 10 hours the result of all member states indorsed the goal of the u. becoming climate neutral by 2050 but one country did not commit to actually implementing that goal poland. we agreed to the principle that poland can achieve climate neutrality at its own pace. the reason for this exemption is that poland is heavily reliant on coal and fears the costs of transition to

a greener economy the country holding back on a commitment seems like a serious setback to the deal but the german chancellor did not agree it's been holding i'm quite content and of the circumstances i just feel europe is not divided into different parts we have one member state that needs a little more time to think about how to implement this so that we have a good outlook for success in a good alice east often gotten a flick it was not the outcome these activists had hoped for though before leaders kicked off their meeting they have tried to create a sense of urgency by bringing fire and smoke to the summit venue it appears the message did make it to everyone inside the building. to round up now some of the other stories making the news this hour the u.s. has test fired a missile over the pacific and long been banned under a treaty between the u.s. and russia the arm.
