means for the u.k. and the e.u. . for european union leaders are processing the conservative victory in planning their own way forward to brussels backing the european commission president green deal it pledges to make the e.u. carbon neutral in the coming decades. i'm brian thomas great to have you with us britain's conservatives have won an overall majority in the country's general election decisively ending 3 and a half years of political gridlock the opposition labor party they are on course for an historic defeat after a near wipe out in their traditional heartlands overnight prime minister boris johnson appeared at his own constituency count said his government had been given a powerful new mandate to finally take the u.k. out of the european union the labor party blamed the bracks it for their crushing

losses with some c. seats still left to declare here's a snapshot of the results as we go to air. ok as you can see there the conservatives have an outright majority passing that crucial $326.00 seat threshold was constituencies some so left to declare their final results now this could be the biggest conservative winston's margaret thatcher in 1987 for the labor party it is one of their worst results ever they lost several dozen seats to the conservatives very weak or been saying he will step down before the next election ok we're joined now by our u.k. political expert here in the studio alex forrest whiting good morning alex and from london buyer correspondent bigot mass very good morning to you as well let's start

in london can you bring us up to date baggett with the very latest. i think this is something every problem with the sound connection there you're going to leave it there let's take you to the studio here alex what was behind this stunning conservative victory the tories breaking through the red wall in some of those labor strongholds has been for boris johnson in particular and let's face it it was a gamble and it was a gamble that paid off he had a very clear message one message get it done but he was also appealing to

those formally labor heartland trying to persuade people vote for me i'll get it done and also i'm going to offer you things that you would have thought labor would always have done in the past so i am going to promise you more money for public spending there will be more place i'm going to build more hospitals there will be more nurses and those messages particularly over bricks it cuts through and i think we have the journey corp in fact as well which is that many people didn't see jeremy corbyn as a leader ok a lack of trust or. a lack of trust and many concerns about his past and i think that that cut through to voters on the doorstep ok that's what i had to say earlier this morning as a became clear that he'd won an outright majority. just like i would have liked 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 story election. gives us now in this new government the chance to respect the democratic rule of the british people to change this country for the better and to unleash the potential of the entire people of this country and that is what we will do and if we are lucky enough to be returned as polls as the exit polls seem to suggest then that work will begin to mary thank you very much right i should say go to war and today. thank you nigeria very much thank you it. was a bracks it mainly the one boris johnson this election is get it done this well i think that let's face it the u.k. and much of the world have been sick of bricks and it's gone on for more than 3 years and they have had a man with

a very very simple message get it done yes it come through we know it's going to be more complicated than that but it was a simple message on the doorstep for people and it's what many of them wanted we talked about some of those late formally labor heartlands votes saying tory for the 1st time sometimes i mean it is extraordinary and many of them voted leave they wanted to leave the european union back in that a referendum in 2016 their own party the labor party not quite sure what it was doing a very complicated message it was sending and boris johnson's message was clear cut get it done and that is now what he can say he will do ok let's go back to london i think we have the sound up there there where does labor go from here i mean they've lost what over 70 seats jeremy corben said he's going to stay on until the next election is he the right person is that a good decision i mean what happens to labor now. well as

alex already said there has been so much this. people really did not like labor on the doorstep and they did not and particularly like jeremy corp and i mean i've been to the north of england i speak speaking to people there and i was hardly anyone who had a good thing to say about the leader of the labor party his message and his old style i think did not resonate with voters that he said he's not going to go and lead the party into the next election so the question is when is you're really going to go we don't know just yet we do we do know that behind the scenes there there is a struggle about the heart and soul of the labor party journey coben somebody who is seen as being more traditional i don't labor a very left wing in u.k. tam's most

a very left manifesto lots of money that the labor party wanted to spend and and many people i think in the u.k. were if you b.s. about whether that would be the right thing to do so we have within the labor party also more and more centrist wing and these people will try and regain control and i mean those were the ones who were in power. for such a long time and they have been sidelined on to under jeremy corbin and his movement the question is can they now come back oh is the party for the time being in the grip of the left so that will be a really fascinating struggle. for it will be and for the conservatives they have a huge opportunity right here they've won over what will find that the final number there are tens of thousands of labor voters now now their challenge is going to be to hold on to those people to hold onto those labor voters that they've taken in the labor strongholds are what are the conservatives need to do to keep these

voters in the conservative camp the labor voters they want to. well yes i mean they really need to govern for the whole of the country they need to govern for people who voted live on also for people who voted remain you could argue that the time of slogans is over now and now they really have to deliver and in order to keep those x. labor voters obviously they have to deliver for those people who voted for president because they felt that they were somehow cut off many people in the north of england felt feel left behind they see london thriving they see a whole different life in london than it is they feel in their home towns and cities they will want to see action they will want to basically be reigned in the into the fold of the whole country and the question is whether boris johnson can deliver that but for now he's got the majority to get his brakes

a deal 3 so that will be his really his relief that he can act in the manner that he wants to act that he's not held back by by the extremes you could argue of of his own party and that he wants to get breakfast through and then he says he's going to deliver but the many people will be doubtful whether he can really do that but he's got a mandate in the next 5 years to do that alex we're looking at a massive earthquake a seismic shift in the political landscape in britain can you give us a sense of what's happened. well it has a literally. well it has been a seismic shake across the u.k. but perhaps we can see it coming away knew that there were many people in the labor heartlands who had said throughout this campaign and before that they didn't see jeremy corbin as a potential major and said that they weren't going to vote for him and that boris

johnson to cut through particularly with his message the question now is what happens to the united kingdom to. boris johnson we can now assume he's going to get his breakfast do parliament and then the u.k. will leave the european union at the end of january next year however at what expense and there is a big possibility head now with what has happened because we haven't talked about it yet but scotland has very much voted for the scottish nationalists the right here is very key they voted for the big huge swing to was the scottish nationalist party up there and a nicolas sturgeon and the question now is could bracks it come at the expense of a breakup of the union so. there are a few letters for the break up there have to be a referendum 2 questions will the scottish nationalist party push for a referendum if they do manage to agree that that's what they want will london will

downing street let it happen well there was a referendum in 2014 which the nationalists lost of course the s.n.p. the scottish nationalists are going to push for it again we think it's unlikely that boris johnson would say yes to that however there is still the possibility that they could do and legal referendum that was actually what david cameron the the prime minister at the time of that referendum referendum in 2014 was worried would happen with them which is why he gave that referendum to scotland so there is a lot to play for him in the future but to care for scotland on what now happens so we can't just assume this is all a done deal and that the u.k. will get out of the e.u. and everything will be fine because there is still a lot of politics going on bubbling under the surface ok a lot of bubbling under the surface you've been looking into that you've been doing some reporting can you tell us about that well it was about boris johnson in

particular and i he's somebody that i have followed a lot in my past and particularly when he was the. america covered that election in 2012 so i knew him fairly well then he was considered a conservative sort of a one nation tory so quite central quite socially liberal but now many see him on the right of the party particular because of bricks it and because of his promises what a we going to see with boris johnson and here is my report. throughout the election campaign boris johnson drove home one message. and it seems his publicist his stunts up and down the country have paid off. easy to get pretty well he's of the public.

he made it all look so easy but it times johnson's carefully choreographed campaign ran into real life problems he struggled to deal with a reporter's question about a sick 4 year old boy forced to lie in a hospital floor in northern england because of a lack of beds. like my. sister his mother says the n.h.s. is in crisis. but it's a terrible terrible. and his critics say this is the real face of boris johnson a dangerous politician who makes empty promises including at the pricks it can you make a promise today to the british public that you will not go back to brussels and ask for another yes and so on and with. each. johnson was of course forced to break that promise and to quest another delay from

the e.u. . he was also accused of ripping up the rule book by suspending british parliament in order to try to force m.p.'s to back his bricks deal the supreme court ruled that move was unlawful. so setback seem a far cry from the boris johnson who spent 8 years this mare of london popular and personable it appeared this former journalist with a. complicated private life was above the usual political conventions but any one of what ever rage who stood in his way johnson's ambition was never far from the surface. he always wanted to be prime minister many have been surprised at just how ruthless he's become even expelling $21.00 of his own m.p.'s including winston churchill's grandson. boris johnson now has the majority he needs

to take the u.k. out of the e.u. fixing his divided country though would take much more than a few photo ops. well that is for sure alex you've been covering wars for years thanks so much for that report. what is it going to take which boris johnson do we need to see to poll this country together so divided as it's been over the brics of years we'll call them that the last 3 and a half years does he have the character is he the man to do this or it's a good question no he's going to a very very good to majority now that gives him more scope for maneuver that could mean that he can say to the wife of his posse you can't you will say yes you're important but actually now i need to get to the boris johnson who was loved when he was married london and who couldn't put it you know can can sprinkle stomped aust

again over the u.k. because he was well loved back in those years he's been much been seen much more as a divisive figure and now he now needs to say to those new labor voters i've promised you and i will now try to deliver it i'm going to make a difference because he will want to get reelected in 5 years' time this he will want to prove that he should always have been pm and that he will remain prime minister possibly for the next 10 years they'll say that is a very big order to fill and that certainly is a perspective for the conservatives let's go back to london if we could be i get we have a very different britain today don't we that as people wake up this morning can you give us your perspective what type of britain is the nation waking up to today. yes i mean a lot of people who voted for the conservatives will let out a sigh of relief because they want the country to stop arguing about breck

said and said it his message was phenomenal and easy and made it seem like this is a child's play so that he's the one to actually put an end to all this debate about whether this is true or not we will see because he has set himself a very small time frame just a matter of months and many people are doubting that but this is what a lot of people want to believe and this is why they voted for him and they will be relieved that he has this majority and that he can can act in a way that says that he sees fit however half of the country has voted for remain and we've seen the remains bones vote splits in this election and a lot of those people will be utterly devastated because they're going to lose this state is that precious for them being a part of the european union no doubt boris johnson will push the withdrawal

through within a matter of weeks and then a lot of people will feel sad and angry and alienated possibly and this whole polarization that we have seen in british politics where the language got so toxic and where people have accused each other of of being mean and of being nasty that you know that will possibly not go over very quickly because it has really deeply entrenched british society and the last year's biggest mass thanks very much for that from london this morning alex for swiping here in the studio thanks as well for your analysis. well european union leaders have of course been processing all of this even holding a summit in brussels and will now be digesting u.k. election results on thursday there was agreement there on on one of the used most ambitious probe proposals to dramatically slash carbon emissions and hit near 0 by the year 2050 as part of the european commission president's green deal.

first suspense. and then a little disappointment journalists in brussels knew the result of the u.k. election means one thing that breaks 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 e.u. becoming climate neutral by 2050 but one country did not commit to actually implementing that goal poll that. we agreed to the principle that poland can

achieve climate neutrality at its own pace she came out to. 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 wondering i'm quite content and if the circumstances change but 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 that we have a good outlook for success for home and good to us east often gotten a flick it was not the outcome these activists had hoped for though before leaders kicked off their meeting they had to try 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. if you're out of balance on the other stories making the news at this hour the u.s.
