this is the w. news live from berlin boris johnson's conservatives win an outright majority in the u.k. election. and this majority we will at last be able to do all. that pay attention. is johnson celebrating at party headquarters a short while ago before heading to downing street to prepare to push his plans for bracks said through parliament was full analysis and look at what this result means for the u.k. and the e.u.

. or european union leaders are processing the conservative victory in planning their own way forward in brussels on the backs of the european commission president green deal in pledges to make the e.u. carbon neutral in the coming decades. and will get a firsthand account of life in china's internment camps words we go our minority punishments there for speaking your own language forced injections with an unknown substance and daily knowing. i'm brought tom the script of you with us britain's conservatives have won an overall majority in the u.k. general election decisively ending 3 and a half years of political gridlock prime minister johnson says his government has been given quote a powerful new. mandate to finally take the u.k.

out of the european union for the opposition labor party well it looks like an historic defeat after a near wipe out in the street ishall heartlands now after winning his own seat johnson went to party headquarters to address the supporters. with this majority we would lofty a little more. because this is the. easiest to go. all you will insist on of the british people. is that you put him into a miserable threats of a 2nd liberal because boris johnson a short while ago here in syria talk about this is u.k. political expert alex horace whiting good morning alex and in london we have beer good moss joining us this morning good morning baggett with his speech

a short while ago to the nation did boris johnson manage to reach out to the entire country and convince everyone to back him in uniting the u k. well he certainly did acknowledge that he has to govern the whole country and you know the conservative party they have won in seats which they have never held which for 100 years have been in labor hands working class seats where people would have never dreamt of voting conservative and he mentioned that in his speech and he's will name over this time because of bricks it and because people just really didn't want to hear anything anymore and his message was very compelling is he going to also be able to win their hearts and minds and make them into conservative voters in the long term well this is exactly what he has to prove also with a domestic agenda he said he's going to concentrate on health and other social

issues but 1st of all he has to get corrected on and then really really has to prove that he can bring the country together that's really been polarized over bricks it so much ok that that is the big challenge facing the let's bring up the numbers now with almost all results the conservatives have a huge majority far exceeding the $326.00 seats needed to be the biggest party a deep losses for the labor party they're the main opposition group all almost all reporting in a few seats to be declared alex what did boris johnson do to command this type of victory he cut through he had a very simple message which was that wrecks it done which he was able so he was able to win over those formally labor voters because of that and he notes more. than his opposition particularly jeremy cobain who many even previous labor voters

felt they couldn't vote for because he didn't and they didn't like what he stood for so for boris this was a huge success for him but let's face it it was still a gamble of what he did and there was a possibility that it could. gone wrong for him but it didn't and now we need to find out what boris johnson are we going to see as prime minister all we're going to see the boris johnson from when he was mer of london when he was jovial entertaining loved by thousands or are we going to see the forest johnson that we've seen of late war right wing a more aggressive probe. for years going back to. yes and even before that when he was an m.p. in oxford so i've known him for some time but let's have a look at the man behind the mask. 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. he's going to get pretty well he's of the club if you keep it in the uk. 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. so you take my phone put it in your pocket one of the stuff his mother says the n.h.s. is in crisis what's your school. book it's a terrible terrible writer and his critics say this is the real face of boris johnson a dangerous politician who makes empty promises including if it breaks it can you

make a promise today to the british public that you will not go back to brussels and ask for another delay to years and. and redeem long. beach. johnson was of course forced to break that promise and request 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. those setbacks 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 age 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. alex's and in many ways boris johnson's biggest challenge uniting the country the huge conservative majority does mask the deep regional differences that still divide you we heard from boris johnson within the past hour and we heard him say very clearly that he was not going to take people's support for granted those people have voted tory for the 1st time from labor but that is england his issue is scotland and northern ireland in particular

because in this election the scottish nationalist party have won $48.00 out of $59.00 seats and in northern ireland again it's the arash nationalists who have done better than the pro british or the pro u.k. unionists so this makes it difficult for him because he knows that there are groups political groups with a lot of support who do not want to be part of the united kingdom they would like to separate he has to keep everyone together and to prove that he is a centrist now that he is a one nation tory who will bring everyone together and he's not just the prime minister of england ok you mentioned people want to not be in the u.k. you're talking about the stars nationalists exactly and obviously there's the issue with the irish nationalists but that with the scottish nationalists they would like to break away from the u.k. ok alison scotto back to london now a bigot what will boris johnson's main purdy's they'll be.

well before christmas even he's going to get the parliament back together and he's going to vote 3 and that's very likely to go through this time there was drool agreement that he has reached with the european union so this will be done by christmas at least the most important vote will be done by christmas that's what he has promised now then in the new here we are looking at the end of january when the u.k. will finally the leave the european union but then the real as many have pointed out here in the u.k. only just. has made it sound very simple we're going to get done let's leave but actually the new relationship with the european union might take as experts argue might take years to hammer right he said it's going to take only a few months and by the end of next year everything will be done we would have to see whether this is really true this breaks it was really his biggest message he has also mentioned a few domestic priorities like health service for example but mostly greg says that

will be immediately on this agenda and that's what he will have to focus on the next weeks and months ok we'll be getting more from brussels and the perspective there coming up preparing it for now thanks very much alex thanks to you for being in the studio while us president donald trump has sent congratulations to boris johnson on twitter tweeting congratulations boris johnson on his great when britain and united states will now be free to strike a massive new trade deal after bracks it us president has long been a supporter of the u.k. leaving the european union or european union leaders have been holding a summit and are reviewing these election results and what it means for the most is the latest from mathis now he's at european council in brussels. what are some of the reactions you're hearing there in brussels. good news and bad

news for leaders here in brussels really in that decision to make boris johnson prime minister again with a strong majority good news because the divorce deal that process worked so hard for together was boris johnson finalizing that steel that there is now a clear majority for it is very likely that will get across the line maybe it's not this year but then soon next year and in doing so a disorderly brax it has at least for the moment been avoided at the plant news and that is what the czech prime minister for instance set up on arrival here is that it is now rather certain that britain will be for the e.u. ok now what role is breakfast then going to play at the e.u. summit underway where you are what are some of the next steps i'll get breaks it down sounds simple but what it actually means and now is that once the divorce deal has been agreed in part in the british parliament it means it's just one year to sort out the new relationship and hammering out a trade deals for instance the latest street date deal with canada took some 7

years so one year very ambitious and many here feel it will take another extension apart from bracks it there's a lot of other issues that now 27 member states will have to focus on for instance the green deal awful isn't off on the line that is what lead us talked about last night my colleague max hoffman spent the night here at the summit and gives you a clip of how events unfolded. 1st 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 and she came out that. 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 if in on that and i'm quite content and if the circumstances 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 but we have a good outlook for success in a good ol us east often more than

a flick it was not the outcome these activists had hoped for though before leaders kicked off their meeting they had 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. a climate neutrality for the e.u. by 2050 that is a very ambitious is there a plan a road map to get there. brian you've heard the german chancellor here saying this is about sending a signal and no more time is needed for implementation and that is really at the core of the problem regarding. admittedly a success that was an affront to line as a chieftain in bringing so many member states behind this plan but when it comes to concrete measures another there's not a lot in this document there is more sockets for electric cars for instance but

that won't do the trick so we really have to see in the years to come how this will be implemented one key a boosting innovation that is something that from the line really puts a focus on finding new ways to to create energy improving solar energy improving wind energy and that will also create jobs that's an important part of a message ok there's a lot of number of concessions in this agreement giving some nation states powers to go about how they they reach a climate neutrality on a national basis poland for example will be getting special rights because of its dependence on fossil fuels on coal 77 percent of the energy on coming from from coal. exactly and leaders were quite aware of that problem that it is particularly hard for some member states particularly hard for poland to achieve these targets

for the czech republic for instance it's a little bit easier because they have nuclear power plants and the czech prime minister also was keen to mention that nuclear has been put into that tax of putting some more legitimacy on a carbon neutral about rather foot from from the perspective from the others member states problematic energy source now the compensation will be here the key issue regarding regarding poland because everyone knows at the end of the day if poland wants to see money from. to compensate for changing their energy mix that they will have to play along with the targets that have been agreed thank you very much for that update from the summit in brussels. if you round up now some of the other stories making news this hour the u.s. has test fired a missile over the pacific had long been banned under a treaty between the united states and russia the arms treaty was abandoned last summer that amidst deteriorating relations arms control advocates say that the test

risks fueling an arms race between the country's. senate has formally recognized the killing of 1500000 armenians between 19151917 as genocide the resolutions are expected to anger turkey which is always denied that there was an organized mass murder senator robert menendez saying the u.s. was on the right side of history. vote counting is underway in algeria after a tense presidential election there is already saying turnout was low at about 40 percent after the opposition called for a boycott in a number of cities protesters attempted to disrupt voting a jury has been in political limbo for months since protests helped oust its longtime president. well it is the largest internment of minorities since world war 2 more than 1000000 ethnic we go are muslims are locked up in specially constructed prisons now they're located those prisons in china's northwest region

of. the chinese government's consistently claim that the camps are quote voluntary reeducation centers to counter extremism but recently leaked documents known as the china cables tell a very different story they show that these camps are run as high security prisons that inmates face abuse and worse in recent years thousands of wee gores have been fleeing into exile our correspondent yulia han met one woman now living in istanbul in turkey who says she was trapped in a chinese detention center for more than a year. going for walk with her grandson just a year ago who by hard wouldn't have dreamt it was possible. at the time she was in china in one of the internment camps for a week is for education centers as the leadership in beijing calls them.

who won the. good this is from the day i was arrested it states my name but it's my birthday to them and that i am a terrorist it would if it is thought to have them call that good of a house says the chinese authorities never explained why they thought she was a terrorist. she tells us about the cruel conditions in the camps about torture. and humiliation you will feel saku will throws out of the book quite a few were cool as being weak and he were locked up in a dark room we also had to write out lines of praise to the chinese communist party he's never 10 days we had to stick our arms through to get an injection we didn't know what it was but the younger women stopped having their periods because they get all that they could feel we had to do sit ups in the nude or dolls but it didn't matter if you were 14 or 84 that's how they violated i will honor the

colonel who cut. istanbul is home to around $25000.00 we go for example visit in borno district like many have found refuge here some even say that the capital of the week is no longer inching junk but in turkey. in primary school the children of those who fled china a gag me singing reading writing in their mother tongue. the teachers here say in china that would be impossible for many we go say that ethnic and religious ties with turkey has made building new lives here in istanbul easier for them at 1st glance this neighborhood appears lively bustling but the community has an open secret almost everybody here they say has

a relative or friend who has disappeared into one of the camps in china talk of my brothers were imprisoned because my sister was sent to account if i get outa are they dead or alive i don't know any more. i haven't had any contact with my family in 5 or 6 years not even a phone call i'm 99 percent sure that they're in the camps or in prison but i'm in the desert and 7 that i haven't heard from my family and 5 years. dozens of versions of the same story. for some it's too painful to talk. china's ambassador to turkey admits that some wheat growers have trouble contacting their families he says steps are being taken. but he rejects reports of human rights violations inching junk. in the education centers are not prisons they are not concentration camps as some media reports say

but in fact these places are more like boarding schools and the basic human rights of the. students are respected part of the truth which they can contact their families and receive visitors so he know when i have the impression that some media and powers are abusing the subject to cast china's policy in a bad light and just don't tell us what. you know of us sees things very differently she would like foreign countries to put more pressure on china she says the holes she experienced in the camps of ching jiang have changed her and she's speaking up in the hope that others bad her fate. a stitch you recount now of our main story at this hour britain's prime minister boris johnson has returned to downing street after his conservative party won the general election with an outright majority. a result gives johnson the numbers he needs to push his bracks of divorce deal through parliament or the opposition labor

party it is an historic defeat suffering a wipe out in a number of traditional labor are it's. well how's this going to affect people british people british citizens u.k. citizens living here in germany for example joining me now is yours gayle is a british conductor based in berlin and a contributor to the spectator magazine of london and culture and politics jules thanks so much for coming in. did anyone 1st off in britain anticipate this level of conservative victory right up until opening the polls was neck and neck. yeah i was quite surprised that the press generally in the u.k. were always saying it was neck and neck when actually in reality the campaign of boris was so uplifting and i felt actually personally that this was a landslide that was pretty much definite. of course it's probably

a surprise to many people that so many labor seats voted but i think what is so telling is that you know one hand you had jeremy corbyn who ran a campaign purely about boris his character and boris running camp boris johnson ran it ran a ran a campaign that was more just about one message getting back to don and i think the fascinating thing about this result is that you see how. one hand people have voted for bars boris johnson's leadership qualities which they feel stronger than those of german koeppen but on the other hand they've also voted for human being because they see that boris johnson is a unique character someone who rises above all of these attempts to. criticize his character as a personal played a big role but for you personally as

a u.k. citizen leaving britain leaving the u.k. is going to make a lot of problems for you professionally isn't it i mean how are you going to be able to travel around you know you're not going to have that u.k. access to the countries that you need to go to as a as a musician will the truth is we don't know that we actually don't know what's going to happen. i'm feeling fairly optimistic i mean full people in my profession of course we are slightly anxious that orchestras and musicians will find it more difficult to go between the e.u. in the u.k. but i think that a lot of that is very exaggerated i mean the fact that orchestras musicians won't be invited to the u.k. or the e.u. of the brakes it i think is a little bit premature i do think that since we already start from a position of corp why can't we def a corporate in the future and i just think that so long as we have this get price it done done quickly then we'll be able to know how to plan for the future jules
