boris is big when the conservative party secures a majority in the british parliament as labor suffers in the polls and a highly disappointing night for them our live coverage from westminster returns in less than one minutes. plus 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 in its former colony and. protests sweep across india after it passes a controversial belligerent citizenship law that excludes at least 2 people have been killed.

here r.t. international is one of the after moscow it is 10 in the morning in the united kingdom where boris johnson's conservative party has won a resoundingly after a strong showing in britain's historic general election after the cleanup the prime minister says the result gives him a powerful mandate to bring home with the strongest majority for his party since the late eighty's as for the westminster based opposition party is they're both looking for new leaders labor suffered a series of humiliating defeat and leader jeremy corbyn says he will not lead labor into the next election as for the liberal democrats their leader even lost a seat. let's go live to our u.k. in westminster now for our special election coverage. well

a very good morning to you it appears that boris johnson's election gamble has paid off as he secures a massive majority in parliament yes he since made a victory speech hours to break it all down for us we're joined by a brand new panel coming in the last hour or so anyway andre walker and has the current stuff thank you very much indeed guys well firstly before we cross to you and have a chat and see what you make of this election we're going to now cross live just to outside parliament welty case is out a is standing by for us so. tell us what we can see isa hit areas what did boris yeltsin have to say after his victory. surprisingly the prime minister very positive following quite comprehensive victory last night and he was speaking and saying that that victory in the size of it in terms of the seats won anyway gives him

a mandate not just of course to carry out other policies that he has in mind domestically but also of course to get done what he said he would do all the way throughout this campaign which is getting briggs it done. with this mandate and this majority we will at last be able to do what. i mean pay attention because it's this election beans that is getting brits done is not the irrefutable irresistible and arguable decision of the british people. 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. the prime minister was also keen to stress that his agenda wouldn't just untile facts that he wanted to of course as he said it is modify some income to invest more money into the n.h.s. $20000000000.00 he denied claims that he wanted to set off the n.h.s. as a result of any trade deal post breaks in particular with the us and also stating his commitment to one nation conservatism in the secrets of trying to bring the country together. how all the leaders of the losing parties fairing then. but of course johnson wanted this to be a break said election so did the let them lead swinson not only in the lead up to this election she was claiming she could possibly be the prime minister not only is she not the prime minister today she's not even a member of parliament anymore she lost his seat last night. subsequently 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. for the labor party also a very bad night for them and they're going to have to rethink their strategy if they want to claw back and any of the ground lost and many people pointing to the fact that there were some within the party particularly those in remain seats people like kid storm emily thornberry and the now departed deputy leader tom watson all of whom who pushed for the party to take on

a very strongly pro remain strong and ultimately it's that which has cost the party in those leave that labor heart nonce in the north and whoever does lead that that strategy to rebuild the labor party is going to have to be somebody other than jeremy corbin. has so polarized and divided to fight this in this country it is overwritten so much of the normal political debate and i recognise that has contributed to the results he has received this evening all across this country also make it clear that i will not lead the boxing 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 cheering that period to ensure that

discussion takes place and we move on into this. so the opposition suffering heavy defeats in terms of the number of seats they've lost but actually when you look at the vote count and you count the number of the lib dems and labor votes together and those of the greats of quality and because it's the numbers actually not that far different of the key difference is of course the labor party and the lib dems not entering into any kind of real alliance together to ensure the remaining vote wasn't split as for the prime minister well he's going to not. and here's a focus to trying to secure a trade deal with the e.u. and get the u.k. out of the european union before january the 3rd frost. thank you for that live update that well now let's take a closer look at how the results of shaped up with the aussie case number cruncher shot it was dashed. just one more vote to go but of course

it won't make much difference as indeed the conservatives have won the general election with the greatest majority since 1987 as you can see the tories have come out on top securing 6364 seats across the united kingdom a great day for boris johnson a terrible one vote for the labor party and jeremy corbin securing just 203 seats which again marks the worst performance in 30 good evening then throughout the night for boris johnson of course he went into this general election with a minority government and now securing a majority of plus $47.00 also similarly a very good evening for the s.n.p. leader nicolas sturgeon securing 48 of the seats there in scotland one of which one of the key moments came from when the s.n.p. stole the critical crucial seat of liberal democrat leader joe swenson she of

course had to resign as a result and indeed have party her colleagues not doing so well either just securing 11 seats across the united kingdom much worse than they would have anticipated the d.p. then at 8 which is minus 2 from last time round bricks at parties a total annihilation a total wipeout but seats of course of the crucial figures this morning but taking a closer look than at the voting percentage it's still paints a rather bleak picture for the labor party just on 32 percent boris johnson's tories at 44 percent this time last election back in 2017 the gap was much more narrow in fact there was just 2 percent between the 2 rival parties of course really not looking too good for jeremy corbett but again interestingly the liberal democrats their own 12 percent 4 percent but it hasn't really equated to many seats for the dems but of course the s.n.p. have made very huge. gains across scotland which then of course brings into

question the system of 1st process the post no doubt will be criticized over the next few coming hours if not days but again i want to give you a broader picture of the entirety of the united kingdom to try and show you the trends where the balance of power really lies here we have this map 650 constituencies of course they were all up for grabs throughout the night and this morning each texican on this map represents one but what we can really see is these northern heartland areas there the areas that were pro leave supporting areas traditionally we call them the red bull seats they are safe labor seats and strongholds in these areas but what we saw the trajectory was they were turning from red to blue throughout the morning a very difficult evening then for jeremy corbyn and the labor party well they have managed to do their quite well is still maintain and prevail there redwall in the

london vicinity potentially because that is of course an area the capital did indeed vote remain back in 2016 with the referendum is certainly reflected there but again meanwhile we have scotland the s.n.p. really taking over lots of constituencies that in the hands of the s.n.p. we see the whole sea of yellow up at the top now it's been a really dramatic evening if not morning now indeed the labor party has been particularly awful for the tourists though a very good day indeed one seat left to declare but of course it won't make much difference. well let's get some reaction from our panel now on what they think all of this means and i understand it really is a meaning to the silly season isn't it yes people keep wondering why we're going to be so late with this announcements in st ives truro council who the local authority rather have said the unfortunately this adverse weather conditions on the off the isles of scilly and so the plane with the ballot boxes can only land that makes you

proud to be found to have so we saw a little sturgis reaction to joe wilson's loss of her seat and she's stepping down from leader of the dems what went wrong when they were championing the whole what 48 percent of the people who vote in the referendum to stay in the e.u. i think everything 1st of all i think the lib dems when they live the tories and she supported all those measures pretty much betrayed their core voters in particular since 2010 when they supported the tuition fees so that was already a killer she went on to support them in a voting record has been absolutely terrible and of course there is personality i think when you what i mean if you watch the 2 female candidates nicolas surgeon you can hate her but she is incredible to what she is that she is smart she knows what she says just once and it was painful viewing every time i think pretty much t.v. sets were being switched off every time she spoke and that's pretty much was translated and in the results we could any lib dems leader have carried

a big event where we're going to leave these elections even westminster for now if we continue watching the live ongoing coverage you can do so online you got to r.t. dot com click live then our 300 k. will catch up with them next hour and more guests analysis and updates right here throughout the day while the public. ok story we're keeping watch on in germany there's been an explosion in a 5 story apartment block in the city of blank in burg where police say that at least one person has been killed 25 others were injured in the blast which happened about 250 kilometers west of berlin just before 9 am local time a couple. hours ago now rescue teams say the number of victims is likely to rise a search operation is under way right now the building's been evacuated as you can imagine you can see the blacks out windows there in the. in the stories above where that explosion took place there's no word yet from any of the authorities on what may have caused that explosion the building's been evacuated as were nearby schools

we'll keep you posted as soon as we have more. but we're more of a headline news now and the security situation in israel in west africa is deteriorating further the militants there have killed at least $71.00 soldiers in one of the deadliest attacks on the country's military needs and i still terror group says it was behind the attack that also left 12 others injured it took place ahead of a now postponed meeting between french president emanuel mccraw 5 west african leaders over security in the region france insists that its nato allies should take the situation seriously and provide more support don't court it delves into the challenges paris faces in its former colony. africa has become a hot bed of terrorist activity as deadly attacks claiming hundreds of lives have spread like a wildfire. europe

will have 2 swords of damocles over its head terrorism and kidnappings but also illegal immigrants since many are traveling through this region following one of the deadliest attacks in niger where 70 people were killed by islamists the big players have even postponed a big summit to reconsider their efforts the presidents of france uneasier 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 sa held 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 france will take on the big engagement by its allies is obviously something that would be quite positive in the south and france 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 haven't actually done anything with the armed forces just at the moment when prices require a response and it's not the 1st time macron 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 and sahil 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 a 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 afghanistan all over again deteriorating government control and growing influence from islamic radicals. francis difficulties fighting terrorism oh and american difficulties fighting terrorism. but of police are very few and from the built in. both cases you have the external power trying to socially stable who is.

remotely in the real. citizens of those countries whether it's worth it to continue invest in counseling how good for you it really is how our charles from foursomes from rod get involved and contravenes not only due to our true us all to combat the tartarus but for their own national interests i think out in the bottom out of the intervention in mali in 2013 are there may have been a false sense in france that it had a human toll on this kind of targets i don't know i think that france will increasingly try to get other western countries especially the united states in the u.k. are trying to ramp up their counterterrorism involvement. here with i think from moscow donald trump signed off an executive order to cut anti-semitism on college campuses but he faces a backlash from pro palestinian groups it's among our stories after the break.

you know world a big part of the lot and conspiracy it's time to wake up to dig deeper to hit the stories that mainstream media refuses to tell more than ever we need to be smarter we need to stop slamming the door on the bath and shouting past each other it's time for critical thinking it's time to fight for the middle for the truth the time is now for watching closely watching the hawks. each simulating civilization would be able to run using a tiny fraction of its resources. hundreds of thousands millions of runs through all of human history almost all. beings with our kinds of experiences would then be

simulated ones rather than non simulated ones and conditional that there are good we should think fearful of the one of the simulated ones. looking back and you naturalisation bill has sparked protests across india where at least 2 people have been killed in the unrest the act seeks to grant citizenship to immigrants who fled afghanistan bangladesh and pakistan before 2015 but controversially it includes all major religious groups except muslims. us were india's government argues the minorities in those countries around the threat of their populations are shrinking specifically claims that pakistan's enormously minorities have dwindled since the 1950 s.

protesters say that the bill not only is discriminatory but also unconstitutional and the opposition's threaten to take the case to the supreme court hundreds of joined a hunger strike in india's northeast where troops have been deployed in the internet shut down. there are some good aspects of the law. the indication of the law is actually is quite good. it basically wanted or is it you did my knowledge these. 33 neighboring countries namely. bungler danish and i'm gonna start to be to be allowed to citizenship in india. the problem with the problem is that posited minorities are not muslim they are hindus christians sikhs buddhists and other communities all modern slummy 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 that the cutoff there is design but 1st 2014 so where is it you could minorities who came before that did before design but the 12000 people 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 down but. it is not a take on it was from stands for the government. in this because the government wants to make this muslim issue today would this does not affect the streets the suspects everybody if the government refuses to listen to the supreme court and we will flood the streets of delhi in the streets of india every day we will burn copies of the law every day we will start

a new one for free oh my god my god and the head start we will not 'd accept this we 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 is an independent 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 and as a matter of numbers the sister states there are so many more must know that we cannot allow them all and there has to be and it's not about them being muslim it's 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. donald trump signed an executive order with the goal of combat ing anti semitism on college campuses the author threatens to withhold federal funds to colleges and universities if they fail to take action against the problem. so we will not permit and jewish bigotry on our college campuses and if they want to do that it's going to be extremely costly it'll be amazing how quickly they stopped the move expands the 964 civil rights act to specifically prohibit discrimination against jews and 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 and the executive orders sparked outrage from pro palestinian supporters who believe it aims to silence their movement and to american antiwar activist ariel gold sees 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 that is real and it will serve you well. let move it means it's going to be much harder floor advocates or tell us any rights to organize on campuses what happens is that a school could now be designated as not. one of the pieces that's doing this. congress right wing in congress has been unable. bert is right yes legislation was that. i really meant it especially on all it's. you know your night really has nothing to do with it it's about. shutting down. a list you need right it's not there. right. ok that's it for me this

friday the 13th of december thanks for watching all to ukase got your next live update on the fallout from one of the most dramatic british general elections in decades that's in just off an hour then you know nails got the rest of a headline stories he's going to head off a whole new boom bust from the team in washington. is your media a reflection of reality. in a world transformed. what will make you feel safe. isolation or community. are you going the right way or are you being led so. direct. what is true what is faith.

in the world corrupted you need to descend. to join us in the depths. or a maybe in the shallows. the why way phone. china is the apollo 11. in this decade. it's defining the technological landscape for a whole country going to happen for a long time. facebook and google started with a great idea and great ideals unfortunately it was also a very dark side. they are constructing a profile of you and that profile is real it's detailed and it never goes away turns out that google is manipulating your opinions from the very 1st character

that you type into the search bar it will always favor one dog food over another one comparative shopping service over another and one candidate over another they can suppress certain types of results deiced on what they think you should be seen if they have this kind of power. then democracy is an illusion the free and fair election doesn't exist the more growth we give them the sooner we're all.

this is a boom bust broadcasting around the globe uncovering the world of business and finance and the impact on us all i've been sworn and i'm christiane washington here's a look at what's on deck today. i believe production problems at the rim factory may have contributed to these 2 tragic crashes. falling to down the crashes involving the boeing 737 max a whistleblower has raised the alarm in congress and our national regulatory attorney miles advises on hand to break down the developments and we'll bring you up to speed on the tape and the plane's flight plan following a spate of controversy peloton stock has taken a little bit of a dip like a $1000000000.00 worth we're going to take a deep dive into the stocks performance and whether the firm can stand up to scrutiny with a packed show today so let's go right in. and we begin with the u.s. china trade talks in the fact that thursday president trouble is meeting with traded visors to figure out next steps why because at this point it looks very unlikely that a phase one deal will be done before december 15th and so the big question becomes

will the trump administration allow a $160000000000.00 in new tariffs on china to kick in or will they delay so far the negotiations between the 2 sides have failed to produce deals on agricultural purchases by china and tariff rollbacks by the united states so the. question now is whether 'd a delay will kick in because the markets well let's face it they are closely watching what is happening here and they are bracing for a big drop if those additional tariffs kick in some analysts believe that the trump administration will delay these tariffs by at least 90 days but others claim the trump administration may actually let these tariffs take effect in a currently preparing their spin on that so kristie i think that's highly unlikely that the trouble ministration would allow that to happen because again look trump is a pretty good job of puppet tearing the markets every time they start to drop he seems to say something to bring him back and he wouldn't be able to do that if he allows these tariffs to kick in absolutely not especially since the latest survey there saying that 3 fourths of the u.s. companies they have absolutely.
