but now it's got an actual majority of former maverick boris johnson led his party to victory in areas of the u.k. that had never voted conservative on a promise to get it done so now he's got the job again how does he deliver i'm phil go this is the day. of all great to record it. out you spread it around the speakers are playing to the people 3 train up you sick i say that it's a play that should be respected and i think that everybody. wants to be out with the fight it out is that we want to be out with. the conservative i think. the better way to.
1:03 am
get wealthy to make the. piece of up. also coming up the week is who fled repression in china for a life in exile in turkey talk of my brothers are imprisoned my sister was sent to account if i get out of a desert life i don't know. calling i'm election was a gamble for boris johnson he's pre-disaster theresa may try the same tactic and lost seats and over the same vexed issue that it caused a constitutional log jam in britain's parliament breck's it for u.k. voted to leave the new 3 years ago and has seen 3 prime minister since bread set deadlines and deals with brussels of come and gone in fact this prime minister even voted against to resubmit his deals but after winning thursday's election on a promise to get it done the ball is now firmly in mr johnson's court. for the man
1:04 am
who called it this election was an all or nothing gamble do or die in the end narratives gave way to relief as he and his conservatives looked on course for a historic night i was. i the unlikeliest rock star welcome to testify story of the result was. that they paid off was that with this mandate and this majority we will at last be able to do what was happening pay attention because this this election means that getting brit's it done is not the irrefutable irresistible and arguable decision. of the british people this 2nd story is that of a labor party in need of a hug after it was defeated decades there heartlands did the unthinkable and voted
1:05 am
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 start 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. so given the very day it of the people of scotland last night the scottish government will next week publish the detailed democratic east for the transfer of power to enable a referendum to be put beyond legal challenge another headache which johnson in
1:06 am
northern ireland where for the 1st time parties backing a united ireland outnumbered poor british unionists the final lesson of this 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 looking for hope. i still believe that we as a country can be warm and generous inclusive and open. next up for johnson a visit to buckingham palace where he received the official nod to form a government after a 30 minute meeting with queen elizabeth the 2nd it was. back to work here marriage on diving street victorious and vindicated but whether he can deliver on his
1:07 am
promise to put breaks it to bed and at what cost to his country it's a story yet to be told. we can't tell it but we can a speculator about it did every journalist rob merges with he wants the results come in through thursday nights got a bit of sleep but now he's back on duty just as well to rob forrestal's and such it was to make this election all about bret's it so what should brussels expect now as mr johnson get spread done well is indeed his his immediate priority is to try and get his his deal through parliament before christmas which he will be able to capsulize now in his majority meaning he's not reliant on the hardline as such the ology of the d.p. so that should be fairly smooth sailing and then i actually expect him to go to brussels and negotiate a somewhat softer deal with the e.u.
1:08 am
where he actually seeks to maybe align the u.k. close again to the single markets than many people expected because he does have that mandate now to do that again obviously that would also depend how they can you relax but i think he will try and opt for that soft bricks which he had you know completely put on the back in the in the run up so you think the deal that he negotiated he's now going to try and i really go see i think he will because i think he realizes that i think a lot of the the election talk that was just elections talk and i actually think he will try and go for a slightly softer. closer lawman even though he won't call it that he will paper over it in some fashion and not call it a closer alignment to the singalongs. this is a weird election a particular least. phenomenon was the crumbling of the so-called red wallace was constituencies in the north of england and the middle of england but never voted
1:09 am
conservative before like this man. should have been opened 3 years ago 3 years ago. and he's kept it through. mr johnson. he's the man. this is this is what happened lots of people sort of held their noses and put it across in the box and boris johnson is what stay with his voice is well aware that he may not have those seats for a long. i have a message through all those who voted for us yesterday especially those who voted for us conservatives one nation to tell us for the past time you may only have lent us your vote you may not think of yourself as a natural tory and if that is the case i have humbled that you put
1:10 am
your trust in me you put your trust in us. so broken much what do you think caused these never conservatives to lead and boris johnson well i think the voters we just heard a pitta mind the election i think it was a combination of the get bricks it done mantra and this is complete and fundamental dislike of jeremy coburn this is that the leader the leader of the opposition of the labor party who is soon to be ex leader yes 6 minutes later he is even less well liked and boris johnson if that's possible and i think this crumbling of the red wall. just a epitomized by this voter who said there's so much bracks it's the sea and they essentially chose the least worst option on the other hand i think as far as johnston just alluded to he's going to have to do is work cut out to keep those
1:11 am
voters happy he's going to have to deliver on some of the promises to boost the regions that invest right or to profit the n.h.s. for example if he wants to hang on to their trusts so big issue then is going to be the state of the union in england northern ireland scotland and wales there was a landslide for scottish nationalists in northern ireland we now have pro unionists parties being out numbered so is this man going to be the prime minister that oversees the crumbling of the united kingdom i think you know. further down the line he very well could be. as you mention this and paid scotland's as sturgeon's nicholas turgeon the the 1st leader the leader of scotland said that this was a mandate to take england out of the even not scotland and she is certainly going to push for
1:12 am
a 2nd independence referendum obviously the last word lies with westminster on that but i think if johnston doesn't agree or blocks that move by scotland's some experts who predict even riots and civil disobedience i think further down the line we haven't see some severe problems in scotland in northern ireland we could see a united arlen's along the way at some point so i think we could be talking about the disunited kingdom in the not too far future who rob much sank you so much. the european leaders meeting in brussels have agreed a far reaching green agenda to make the e.u. carbon neutral by 2050 poland heavily dependent on coal refused to commit to the deal or wanted to push the deadline back to 2017 but the other member states are hiding the agreement as a major step forward. a council president in good spirits following
1:13 am
a long day of debate shall michelle seemed relieved to clear the 1st obstacle of the e.u.'s climate action plan i am pleased with this important agreement just to be both climate change too as they were important for the opinion to this site through a common goal claim with the 20 by 2050 with a clear vision about the investments we have to to develop into interaction the next yes this summit is the 1st since the newly appointed commission president who is still a fun day line unveiled her european green deal a master plan that might fundamentally transform the e.u. in the years to come it includes a 50 percent reduction in e.u. carbon emissions in 2030 climate neutrality by 2050 a carbon boarder tax on polluting foreign firms and the $100000000000.00 euro
1:14 am
transition fund for countries dependent on coal and nuclear energy an ambitious plan for underlined will have to do some more convincing along the way finland however is already sold on the urgency of the matter. we all know that we have to do more and we have to do it faster it's about our children's future. about future generations but i'm very happy about the steps forward that we made last night. last night after 10 hours of debate almost all member states indorse the goal of the e.u. becoming climate neutral by 2050 but one country did not commit to actually implementing that goal poland the reason for this exception is that poland's energy largely comes from coal and the country fears the costs of transition to a greener economy. poland holding back might seem disappointing but not the german chancellor i'm on
1:15 am
a medical. that's not puppy trust and this stuff should us and i understand why he's also king for more time and i'd like to say that if people pretend that the transmission is just as difficult put those who rely on 80 percent of those who rely on 65 percent on nuclear energy that is not true. the plan is on the table now it's up to the beaches to bring it to life in the next few months. more on this from a touch of miller who's the senior advisor for climate justice at germany's left leaning rows of books about foundations that welcome city w. so what we have here is what one of the world's the biggest economic blocs agreeing to be carbon neutral by 2050 which sounds like good news is about 31 years down the line now i live in berlin was in northern germany and last year in 2018 there were forest fire as now this year there were forest fire as in northern germany in late april siberian in canadian town the frost is melting at
1:16 am
a speed that was anticipated in the model for $29.00 t. arctic ice melting has increased sevenfold from the 1990 s. the climate crisis is now what people are telling me they're going to do in 2050 or must be fairly irrelevant if the goal is to prevent runaway climate change we've got to get in the next few years and 2050 ok so what do they do instead well i would say. cut down on fossil fuel infrastructure which is being massively expanded around all of your rhino cup legally cut fossil fuel subsidies. in order to incentivize protecting the climate in southern countries stop recognizing the enormous ecological debt that the globe the north. the south and start making reparations for those of you just some basic things that would need to be done to get anywhere in the expert on climate so if you poland has been going to soften exemption from this deal as a country heavily dependent on cold so how do you turn round to them and say ok i
1:17 am
know that everything in your country depends on coal but just stop it i mean tell you a very quick story at the cop 23 in bonn germany 2 years ago is that the u.n. i think you know you and simon summit in bonn 2 years ago i sat on a panel with a few german think tank is from talking about environment energy and climate policy and they were board about radical climate policies increasing electricity prices and possibly leading to more votes being pushed to the right wing of the party a friend of mine from the philippines was also on the podium and said you know you're worried about rising electricity prices we are experiencing rising sea levels you're worried about some more votes going to a proto fascist i think we have a fascist president now that's basically the kind of global relations for me to think they see him and we need to think here in europe do we want to continue living this high wealth high speed high production lifestyle. knowing that that destroys that makes the planet progressively less livable and actually negatively
1:18 am
impacts the lives of the most poorest and most modern life except i mean it's over it's a lovely speech except that we see the reality is they answer your question is yes by their actions we say that countries governments will look to their votes as invent countries so that they can get things done whatever time. rather than looking to other people in other countries who may or may not be suffering i say you know the answers you have to save us until haven't answered my question which is what do you say to a country like poland that ease heavily in debts to coal that come out turn it around on a sixpence i don't know that much about the debate in poland i do know about the debate induce a shot for example in the senate in the coal mining region south east of berlin i do know about the debate in the west german coal mining district which is just as dependent on coal as odds of poland up and i would say this within europe and within germany we actually have the ability financially structurally given our
1:19 am
welfare state systems to actually help people who can no longer work in the job that they currently work and help them transition to another job now again i spoke to this filipino friend of mine whom i just mentioned and she actually said well in germany you people have a fairly decent welfare state not always the it's got a lot was of the decades of neoliberalism but still here in the global north we have much much better capabilities of selling with this kind of transition where you both are going to tell you where you put the money i want to i want you to just wait with the money because now the question is also a question of lifestyles do we really want to continue valuing primarily material consumption in life and actually except for 2 years of neo liberalism that have just made us into consumers ok let's pivot question because i will let gretta totenberg pick it up she has been a big pickup 25 the un's at climate conference in madrid she's been making similar
1:20 am
points to say you world leaders are going to be flying home in the next few hours which is kind of ironic so she had some scathing words from. well nader's was still trying to run away from their responsibilities. but we have to make sure that they do that we will make sure they that we've the wall and that they will have to do their job and sometimes are viewed since. so here's a question to you to grasp maybe anger is better posed not at world leaders but at the focus well 1st of all political leadership also means talking to voters and actually saying hey people we have a choice we can either protect the climate and stop behaving like trump on a global scale we're just saying to the global poor as your life that matters to us we have that choice now either protect the climate or continue with our highways
1:21 am
high production high speed lifestyle if our political leaders don't talk to us about making that choice is besides the give the young generation that we just saw on the t.v. for that brought millions and millions of people onto the streets in germany just this year alone and i will tell you if there's no climate action there will be more uprisings from the youth. from the rosa luxemburg foundation thank you thank you very much. but more than a 1000000 ethnic week of muslims are being held in northwestern china beijing insists the terminal comes a voluntary reeducation sentence leaked documents known as the china cables tell a different story of mass surveillance and haas treatment thousands of weakness have fled into exile the double correspondent you hong but one woman who was trapped in a detention center for more than a year. going for walk with her grandson just a year ago you were behind wouldn't have dreamt it was possible. at the time she
1:22 am
was in china in one of the internment camps for a week is. or education centers as the leadership in beijing calls them. we want to. 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 to this lawyer don't call that good 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 with a lot of the quite a few of course we can we he were locked up in a dark room but we also had to write out lines of praise to the chinese communist party has never 10 days we have to stick our arms through to get an injection and then we didn't know what it was but the younger women stopped having their periods
1:23 am
. or good about that we had to do sit ups in the nude or dolls. it didn't matter if you were 14 or 84 years old that's how they violated our will on our 1st the colonel who talked. istanbul is home to around 25000 week 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 dad would be singing reading writing in their mother tongue. the teachers here say in china that would be impossible. many we go say that ethnic and religious ties with turkey has made building new lives here in istanbul easier for
1:24 am
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 is disappeared into one of the camps in china talk of my brothers are imprisoned my sister was sent to account if i get outta of a desert life i don't know any more. i haven't had any contact with my family in 5 or 6 years not even a phone callers i'm 99 percent sure that they're in the camps or in prison for them and then just turned 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 weekers have trouble contacting their families he says steps are being taken. but
1:25 am
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. they can contact their families and receive visitors so even though we 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 also. sees things very differently she would like foreign countries to put more pressure on china she says the whole roles she experienced in the camps of jiang have changed her and she's speaking up in the hope that others bad her fate.
