that once. the conditional we should sing fearful of one of the simulated ones. and learning this out of the conservative party secures a majority in the british parliament as labor suffers in the polls in a highly disappointing night for them our live coverage from westminster kicks off in less than one minute from now. plus in other news later this hour at least $71.00 soldiers were killed in a militant attack on a military base in exposing a deep crisis for french foreign policy and its former colony. sweep across india after it passes a controversial religion based citizenship nor that excludes muslims at least 2

people have been killed. hello and good morning from moscow i'm calling bright r.t. international here in the russian capital it's friday the 13th of december at 11 am it's 8 am breakfast time in the u.k. where boris johnson's election gamble has paid off his conservative party has won a comfortable majority in parliament after a strong showing in britain's historic general election taking the party to its biggest win in decades the prime minister within the past couple of hours has said that it gives him a powerful mandate to bring home bracks it which at this point seems all but inevitable as for the westminster based opposition parties they're both looking for new leaders labor suffered a series of humiliating defeats and leader jeremy corbyn says he will not. lead

labor into the next elections as well every democrat leader even lost to say live to our u.k. westminster now for our special election coverage made a victory speech and to break it all down for us we're joined by former s.n.p. and people want to have and barrister will take about but 1st let's cross to outside parliament. he is standing by for us hello to you once again boris johnson he made his victory speech not long ago within the last hour what did he have to say. it's been hearing from the prime minister. with his fresh victory in this election campaign and one that he hopes will allow him to have a mandate to go forward and not just implement his domestic policy but of course his policy which he said is now clearly what the country wants. with this mandate and this majority we will at last be able to do what. we pay attention to is this this election means that getting brits done is not the

irrefutable irresistible and arguable decision. of the british people. and with this election i think we put an end to all those middle miserable threats of a 2nd referendum. and i say. i say 1st thing. i say respectfully to him to all stay in torreon friend in the blue dog. that's it. time to put a sock in the megaphone. not that it's 2 parties who wanted this election to be all about bricks that one of them of course was the conservatives well those are the other side of the argument the lib dems who want to to position themselves as the remain party but this is also been a disastrous night for them not only was joe swinson not going to be the prime

minister she said before the election that she was confident she could be you know even an m.p. and he more she lost her seat and in the subsequent hours following that result also stood down as leader of the liberal democrats. let me say no. for millions of people in our country. 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 and that by working together with our nearest neighbors we can achieve so much more. it is also a very very poor night in terms of the labor party's performance as well they well they got more votes in 2010 if you look at it how many votes they got but in terms of the number of c's this is their worst performance in almost

a century they've just about got over 200 seats really a disappointing from their perspective and it was ultimately for. and this breaks that which cost many say some within the party former deputy leader tom watson among those who insist that the party take a more remain position or not ultimately has cost them. especially leave the areas and all of that resulting in the journey called saying that he won't be taking the policy into any future election. has so polarized and divide it divides as in this country it is overwritten of so much of the normal political debate and i recognize that has contributed to the results she has received this evening all across this country ought also make it clear that i will not lead the party in any future general election campaign i will discuss with

up. to ensure there is a process now of reflection on this result and on the policies that the possible take going forward and i will lead the party during that period to ensure that discussion takes place and then move on to the. winning majority he will be hoping that he will be able to use that to take the u.k. out of the european union by before the end of january. thank you very much indeed . in central london now we have in the newsroom keeping an eye on all the results as they come in so shot it all but 2 results i think i'll remaining know. absolutely just 2 seats left to declare at this moment in time but the conservatives have of course won an overwhelming majority meaning they have won the

election is actually the biggest majority since 1987 as you can see 363 that some ounce of seats in the tories have secured again a huge brilliant when. for boris johnson a terrible evening vote for the labor party and jeremy 'd call but just on 203 which marks a loss of 59 seats a great evening for boris johnson because of course he came into this general election with a minority government and now securing another 47 seats a great night for boris johnson but equally a great night for. the s.n.p. securing 48 seats in scotland again one of the key moments for nicolas sturgeon's party is taking away a seat from jo swinson of the liberal democrats she at the time was the liberal democrat leader of course she's now resigned as the liberal democrat leader because she has lost her seat in the east and brought in a terrible evening then for the liberal democrats not

a great evening either for the losing 2 seats and the bracks it party we're seeing and a complete total wipeout for them but what's interesting though is yes seats are the main main numbers of this morning but if we look closely at the voting percentage it also shows a very bleak picture for the labor party and 32 percent the tories on 44 percent in the last general election back in 2017 those percentages were much much tied to just 2 percent were in it just at that point in time interestingly we're seeing the liberal democrats on 11 percent and the s.n.p. on 4 percent but it doesn't equate to seats for the lib dems at all in fact making huge huge gains which then brings into the system of the 1st past the post that system could also be criticised for that reflection there but just to look at a wider imagery then of the map of the united kingdom here we have 650 constituencies of course they were all up for grabs this morning each texican

equates to one but what's interesting though is we can see the trends where the balance of power really lies and we can see in these new all the hartman areas they've really turned from red to blue. they're the areas that are pro leave areas in the united kingdom the red wall that is labour's red wall historically safe labor seats we're seeing the trajectory throughout the morning as they were turning from red to blue and it just continued to come through as the results were trickling in the red wall though in the london vicinity seems to have somewhat prevailed 6 has seemed to somewhat stay strong because we can see here there's still a sea of red in that area and that can be equated to the fact that of course london the capital voted to remain so it could be potentially been protected because of that vote there if we look though at scotland in this area we see a sea of yellow necklace sturgeon of course doing very very well there regaining seats from the labor party and the tory party from losses back in 2017 as i say

there's just 2 more seats to declare at this point in time this to hold up one of which is due to bad weather we'll see if that weather clears up and then we might get that result coming in and late hours but yes very very dramatic results indeed terrible for the labor party great for the tories back to you in the studio did you say terrible for the labor party shadier thank you very much indeed well jeremy corbin he blamed the media actually as to why he he had such a such a rebecca do you think. i think the problem in the world we live is that facts are no longer important people are all about opinion and when somebody doesn't agree with you whether on social media or mainstream media they are therefore biased i mean i see it a lot on social media and i know politicians have had a really rough time with abuse within the media but to suggest that his anti semitism is when it's been for me investigated it is not

a journey corbin the labor party in this election is as you heard from chris williams. isn't it's a suspension of disbelief 70 percent of their constituencies voted to leave every one of their m.p.'s voted against the bricks it deals so it's a problem of remain m.p.'s in leave seats and politicians not listening to their electorate pull not just cherry kalu but boris johnson got his fair share of targeting negative talking on the media together isn't afraid to for example but that's fair isn't it that's what the media is that to do. the media is definitely there to challenge in a way the sphere and responsible they don't always do that. there's a bias of all we talked about earlier biased largely through a mission but also assume a support and think i mean labor really are the party that have lost

a selection i think. jeremy clarkson's position was clear on so many different policies i suspect people just didn't know what he stood for and as a politician we talked a little earlier not just about media but social media it's a lot of soul searching them for the opposition parties and over celebrations for boris johnson's conservatives and the scottish nationalists if they can all bar a handful of seats north of the border that's where we get our labor party's election team in westminster now you can continue watching their live continuing coverage online dot com click live and r.t. u.k. will catch up with him again next hour with more guests analysis and updates right through the day. next though the security situation in asia in west africa is deteriorating for militants there have killed at least $71.00 soldiers in one of the deadliest attacks on the country's military in years and i still terror group says it was behind the attack the also left 12 others injured it

took place ahead of now for spoken to meeting between french president emanuel mccrum and 5 west african leaders over security in the region france insists its nato allies should take the situation seriously and provide more support don't quarter delves into the challenges paris faces in its former colony. africa has become a hotbed of terrorist activity as deadly attacks claiming hundreds of lives have spread like a wildfire. europe will have 2 swords of damocles over its had terrorism and kidnappings but also

illegal immigrants since many are traveling through these regions following one of the deadliest attacks in. for 70 people were killed by islamists the big players have even postponed a big summit to reconsider their efforts the president so from sunny's year agreed to postpone the summit on operation bachao nya on the joint chiefs on health force until early 2020 the 2 presidents expressed their determination to remain united against terrorist groups and to redefine together in the coming weeks the political and operational framework for ensuring the security of the sahil countries france spends millions of euros and sends thousands of soldiers to control the situation there but with the region's poor infrastructure damage control is difficult to say the least france needs help. in this context and in light of the decisions that fronts will take a big engagement by its allies overseas something that would be quite positive in the front is involved in acting on behalf of everyone there are other budgetary

questions the means but at least as important in our eyes is a contribution of the europeans to operations to the management of prices it would not be right to spend the 2 percent without having actually done anything with the armed forces just at the moment when prices require a response and it's not the 1st time across has been vocal over the issue the french president also criticized nato for bickering over defense spending instead of doing more to help the war on terror inside why does france care so much about sawhill as is almost always the case it's about africa's natural resources the border of mali and niger is lined with your rainy and minds are vitally important for french power stations of course it's also dangerous if islamic fundamentalists grow an influence there they would only need to travel through libya for a direct line to the european continent and with sahil being half the size of europe it's not easy to isolate terrorist cells as for paris well it shifts the

blame to the african states which can't cope with these challenges alone it almost seems like as. ghana stand all over again deteriorating government control and growing influence from islamic radicals your government we are some parallels between france's difficulties fighting terrorism in the somehow an american difficulties fighting terrorism in afghanistan both places are very advantageous from the vantage of militants in both cases you have external powers trying to essentially stabilize irregulars remotely and the real question is. citizens of those countries whether it's worth it to continue investment company can't afford it or you know it's our charles from foursomes from get involved in contrary not only due to our crew was out to combat the tartarus

but for their own national interests i think out in the bottom out of the intervention in mali in 2013 there may have been a false sense in fruits that it had a handle on this kind of terrorism though i think that france will increasingly try to get other western countries especially the united states in the u.k. and ramp up their counterterrorism involvement. here without a donald trump signed off an executive order to curb anti-semitism on college campuses but places a backlash from pro palestinian groups it's a story still ahead.

us. india's government argues the minorities in those countries are under threat and their populations of shrinking specifically it claims that pakistan's non muslim minorities have dwindled since the $958.00. protests to say the bill is not only discriminatory but also unconstitutional and the opposition's threaten to take the case to the supreme court. has some of the reaction that we've been getting to this from our guests. there are some good aspects of the law. the indication of the law is actually is quite good. it basically wanted you did my knowledge these. 33 neighboring countries namely. bungled d.h. and i'm gonna start to be to be allowed the citizenship bill india.

the problem with the problem is that those of you that minorities are not muslim they are hindus christians sikhs buddhists and other communities all the more you slam it non muslim so as i said the intention is good because a large section of these persecuted by not minorities are distributed in different parts of india let me also point out the cut off there is design but 1st 2014 saw or is it you could minorities who came before that did before design but the 12000 people dean dean so i think the intentions are very good i think this law is unconstitutional. i think it is illegal i challenge you this law in the honorable. and i am confident it will be struck. it is not a trick only was from stands for. in this because the government wants to make this

muslim issue today would this does not affect the streets this affects everybody if the government refuses to listen to the supreme court and we will have the streets of delhi in the streets of india every day we will burn copies of the law every day we will start ignoring or. oh my god my god the head start we will 'd not accept this you are adding people need to be educated the people protesting don't necessarily understand what they're even fighting i mean how is that different from religious fanaticism elsewhere in the world india and the planet democratic nation and i don't see why the us should have any say in that you cannot just attack india and say that it is discriminating against muslims it is a matter of numbers the sisters. there are so many more must know that we cannot allow them are there has to be and it's not about them being muslim is that they are such a large minority quote unquote that and india alone. we have 200000000 muslims

muslims who are feeling persecuted within their own country perhaps need to go to a muslim country because if we as india whether it's democracy where it's successful economy allow this in pakistan and bangladesh we will be flooded with immigrants it work alas our economy. trump and signed an executive order with the goal of combat ing anti semitism on college campuses the author threatens to withhold federal funding to colleges and universities if they fail to take action against the problem so we will not permit jewish bigotry on our college campuses if they want to do that it's going to be extremely costly it'll be amazing how quickly they stop. the move expands the $964.00 civil rights act to specifically prohibit discrimination against jews it already outlaws racial discrimination in programs that receive federal funds this targets the b.d.s. movement which boycotts goods from territories occupied by israel executive orders

sparked outrage from pro palestinian supporters who believe it aims to silence their movement american antiwar activist ariel gold seeds it as an attack on free speech. this is a dangerous attack on our 1st amendment right to free speech and it's an attack on students it will serve to silence dialogue 8 it's real and it will serve you well you didn't let move it means that it's going to be much harder floor advocates for ellis any rights to organize on campuses what happens is that a school could now be designated as not. one of the reasons it's not it's doing this. congress rightly has been unable. or it is rightly yes legislation was that. i only meant it especially on college.

you know. really has nothing to do with it's about. shutting down and for a list you need rights it's what other. rights. changes throughout the arab and rules on you tube of outraged users and content creators on the video sharing platform with you tube it over party trending on twitter they say the vague language of the policy is essentially an attempt at censorship in for a reason you tube became massive was you tube was having brief and drama the line between criticism and horace mint is now so blurred nobody knows where they stand veiled or implied threats are vague language this highly subjective that allows them to effectively silence anything regardless of content predictable protecting a handful of spoiled public figures who didn't like to be teased is

a great way to lose the crowd this policy has good intentions on the surface but is too messy it will drastically increase both resentment and complaining across the board don't censor criticism. explicit threats of violence were already banned but as you heard in one of those tweets the policy also applies now to veiled or implied threats it also prohibits content with malicious insults based on race religion and ethnicity repeat offenders will be stripped of their ability to work advertising revenue may have their videos taken down or their channel terminated entirely some creators have already had content removed youtube says the decisions can be appealed we expect there will continue to be healthy debates over some of the decisions and we have an appeals process in place of creators believe we've made the wrong current leader you will continue to protect discussion on matters of public interest and artistic expression media commentator gina luden believes the new rules are open to abuse. i think the fact that these so-called rules are so

very loosely defined therein lies the problem because when you don't have well defined rules what you end up with is subjectivity and that's always been the problem with you to entire groups of people have been deemed monetized i've had this happen on my own you tube channel where my videos have been taken down because something didn't meet their community standards and a lot of times i can't even tell what it is i didn't think anything was offensive it may be past the major network test in the united states but it doesn't pass the you tube test so it really makes you kind of wonder you either have free speech or you don't and if you have free speech then that should be exactly that free and it should be broadly applied and just because something offends me doesn't mean that you should not have the right to say it in fact perhaps it's more important that you do have the right to say it as long as perhaps or not inciting violence which i think is where we would all like to draw that line some believe that the reason behind this is politically motivated and the problem is that when you don't have

well defined rules that make sense to everybody regardless of political party you're going to have people feeling like this was subjectively applied ok that's it from the moscow newsroom for now all to u.k. has a continuing u.k. election coverage in just over half an hour with boris johnson toast a victory in some big names in the opposition parties of major humiliation next the theory that we're living in a matrix style dystopia the release heading that way next in sofia. loads. of it.
