3:01 pm
a government his 1st task will be to push drags it through parliament will have full analysis of what it all means for the u.k. and europe. meanwhile european union leaders are processing the conservative victorian plan and their only way forward a summit in brussels stands behind plans for a green deal which pledges to make the e.u. carbon neutral in the coming decades and praise for the soldiers who recovered the bodies of those children of all chemical reaction onto sealants sakari island family and friends have held a traditional moller in flossing it seems for those who died. and a way of life threatened by global warming we find out how it's causing a disease to break out among the reindeer herds of siberia. it's good to have you with us britain's conservatives have won an overall majority . the country's general election decisively ending 3 and
3:02 pm
a half years of political gridlock prime minister boris johnson says his government has been given a powerful new mandate to finally take the u.k. out of the european union for the opposition labor party it's an historic to seat after a near wipe out in its traditional heartlands let's take a look now at some of the results redrawing of the electoral map in the u.k. the conservatives have a huge majority as you see there are far exceeding the 326 seats needed to become the biggest party there are also as we said been huge losses for labor the main opposition party and the scottish nationalist party saw considerable gains it's all the election results defied expectations for the main parties while the conservatives did far better than expected the opposition labor and the liberal democrats saw their hopes dashed labour's leader is not now on his way out and the lib dems leader has already gone failing even to win her own seat for the man who
3:03 pm
called it this election was an all or nothing gamble do or die in the end gave way to relief as he and his conservatives looked on course for a historic night. the unlikeliest rock star welcome to the far story of the result. the bet paid off. but with this mandate and this majority we will at last be able to do what. the pay attention to is this this election being is that getting brits done is not the irrefutable irresistible although arguable decision. of the british people this ecan story is that of a labor party in need of a hug after it was defeated decades there heartlands did the unthinkable and voted
3:04 pm
conservative it is now no longer a matter of will leader jeremy corbyn go but when. this is obviously a very disappointing night for the labor party with the result that we've got on also make it clear that i will not lead the party in any future general election campaign. the 3rd story is of a dish united kingdom the scottish national party racked up a landslide north of the border roy motions got the better of some. but they couldn't distract from renewed calls for a 2nd referendum on scottish independence. but it's johnson has no rate firstly to take scotland of the e.u. and secondly norway to block the scottish people choosing their own future another head which johnson in northern ireland where for the 1st time parties backing a united ireland outnumbered poor british unionists the final lesson of this
3:05 pm
eventful night is of voters overwhelmingly rejecting the pool european liberals their leader was ousted ending any effort to keep britain inside the european union . these results will bring dread and dismay and people are looking for hope. i still believe that we as a country can be warm and generous inclusive and open. as day broke johnson returned reinforced to downing street choosing to walk the final few yards in a cold and frenetic election campaign boiled down he promised to finish bragg's it once and for all whether he can and at what cost to his country is a story still to be told. and let's go right to our
3:06 pm
correspondent charlotta potts she's standing by for us outside number 10 downing street hi charlotta good to see you you've been speaking to voters and lawmakers in the lead up to this election what do you make of the scale of this victory for boris johnson the conservatives. well it's really a huge victory for boris johnson one that can't be underestimated we've seen a prime minister here entering downing street a little while ago who looked very tired because he celebrated throughout the night pitching some sleep as we think. lay out his plans for his time in office in a little while here in front of number 10 downing street and again a huge victory it's really managed to shake up the political landscape here in the u.k. he snatched up votes traditionally labor voters who have voted labor for decades for some 400 some constituencies for over 100 years and now they have switched to conservatives and that all because boris johnson ran on
3:07 pm
a very simple platform that was not much in the tory manifesto but his message was let's get breakfast done let's get it done by january 31st this has dragged on for too long it was a very anti elitist anti paul them and platform that he ran on and that seems to have resonated with voters and let to this huge victory of the conservatives and to this tremendous loss really historic loss for the labor party that of course knowledge doing soul searching and. we'll see how long their leader jeremy coleman can stay in his place i was talking to vote all throughout the day yesterday in front of the polling stations many were. up to the last minute because the issue that has dominated the agenda here in this campaign and it's a very complex issue of course and also today a very divided opinions on the streets of london i was talking to voters here this
3:08 pm
morning to get their reactions let's listen and. that's a result for the tories. there when he. has a good result for dinner and. well i just think it's dreadful we're going to leave you know good news and so it's going to happen you have a tory government that's totally right wing is going to be in power for the next 5 years people in this country are really suffering we've got homelessness we've got people children going hungry and. leaving the e.u. which i think is just dishonest i think that. the politicians have been messing about so long i think they're on the. public wanted and now we've got what the public wanted are actual after we have the different voices there in the mix voices on the selection it really reflects the polarizing campaign leading up to the vote do you think this divide in the u.k. is here to stay. well brett's it really has polarized the country even
3:09 pm
in the last 3 years and boris johnson is banking on overcoming that divide now his plan it's once it's off the table once the u.k. has left the european union then the brics it won't be a matter of discussion anymore and the country can move on from there he can make new laws and set out the rest of his agenda so that is his plan of course it's not that easy yes to cater to those disenchanted voters that voted conservative in the heartland of england in the north of england. constituencies where there is huge inequality which really need a lot of investment to come out of that so that is going to be one of the big challenges ahead and another couple of challenges arose in this election and that is for example the scottish nationalists ponty huge gains and they have banked on asking for a new independence referendum for scotland a lot of scottish vote just originally wanted to remain in the european union and
3:10 pm
scotland now we will see in the next year or so a call for a nother independence referendum there on the other hand in northern ireland we see we see similar developments that the nationalists that are closer aligned with the with the island of ireland have made gains there for the 1st time hold the majority in northern ireland so these are going to be tremendous challenges ahead for boris johnson and his conservative government that we might see a very disunited kingdom in the years to come all right so challenges for boris johnson lie ahead but he has that mandate as he has said he's already been to the queen to formally ask her to form a government what are his main priorities in the coming days and weeks. well it's bricks of bricks of bricks that really i mean that there was nothing much more he
3:11 pm
promised in this campaign and so as early as next week he is going to parliament to vote on the withdrawal agreement that he negotiated with the european union to start the process of the u.k. leaving the european union by the end of january and now he has that clear majority so nothing stands in his way but of course this is just really phase one and then the complicated part space to where boris johnson has to go back to the european union and negotiate a future relationship a future security relationship how is that relationship between the united kingdom and the european union going to look after breakfast and this can take a while he has promised to do that and one year he's run on that platform it's a very simplistic approach and reality might turn out very different so that it's definitely another challenge that he will face in his 1st year in office our correspondent down at 10 downing street for us thank you very much. well
3:12 pm
world leaders have been reacting to boris johnson's victory u.s. president donald trump said britain and the united states would now be free to strike what he called a massive new trade deal after bragg's it and a german chancellor angela merkel said this in response the submission. to use this opportunity to congratulate boris johnson to here is to match a election victory i think that this victory is very clear and obvious that the withdrawal agreement can be passed by the british side but also by the european side and we can then. attend to the negotiations which are going to be difficult enough on the future of the relationship between the european union and the united kingdom we made ourselves very clear we said it to the council today we will put all ever in a cheek and unity into working towards this objective. there speaking at
3:13 pm
a press conference at the e.u. summit in brussels where leaders are meeting as well to discuss breaks it and matters is covering the summit for us hi gary what other reactions have you seen there are from european leaders to boris johnson's victory. we've just heard. so i think you put it into a nutshell. actually reading the message dr heard from a number of leaders here. they were rather pleased with the outcome seeing that it does bring some stability at least it rules out and disorderly for now one has to say well we'll have to see only goshi actions pan out in the future but many here of course also mentioned that there are sets to see the u.k. really. does seem to make clear that breaks it is coming but the deal on the future relationship with the e.u. data certainly not settled yet what kind of negotiations are we looking at. michelle michelle of the head of the european council here emphasized the number of
3:14 pm
times that he wants to see a strong and close relationship to appear in the future of them that'll be really the difficulty now what we have so far is not the bracks deal but we have a divorce deal and to get the brics it's a deal the leaders and the u.k. will now have practically a year to hammer out such a deal which is a short period of time so lots of details to discuss many leaders emphasized that that the standards will be a big issue a level playing field with the u.k. so that there will be too many advantages for the u.k. if one wants to trade with them in a close relationship so lots to discuss leaders also discussed another issue for over 10 hours last night let's take a look 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
3:15 pm
leaders focused on another topic that might fundamentally transform the e.u. in the years to come it was very interesting to see the lead us 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 poll that. 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. on that in
3:16 pm
the 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. of and 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. ok care so we know the goal now climate neutrality by the year 2050 do we know how the e.u. plans to get there. that will be really interesting that is the key word is here is implementation a number of leaders have mentioned that today including the german chancellor she pointed out a number of things for instance a carbon tax that could be raised on the borders of the e.u.
3:17 pm
for products that come in and that have been produced under carbon intensive circumstances she said there will be quite a bit of a debate on that one regarding a protectionism overall i think goes off on the mind the head of the european commission really a once a do you see this climate package not only as something that that it meets targets reducing reducing carbon carbon emissions but also as an opportunity as an abuse to create shops to boost innovation to start a new energy sources to invest into a wind and solar power and so something something that member states will also benefit from. this reporting for us from brussels thank you for your insights but let's get now on some of the other stories making news around the world. the u.s. has test fired a missile over the pacific that had long been banned under a treaty between the united states and russia the arms treaty was abandoned last summer amid deteriorating relations arms control advocates say that the test risks
