the conservatives to their biggest u.k. election victory in more than 30 years as voters turn their backs on the labor party. despite. wales scotland's nationalist party wins by a landslide to the north of the borders party and renewed calls for independence. on monday say that's it is for the scottish parliament nor a westminster government to say there should be a new referendum on in. the us and china announced phase one of a trade deal to overcome their long running tariff war.

and broadcasting live direct from our star studios in moscow this is our chief international john thomas certainly glad. johnson's conservative party is celebrating an historic victory in thursday's general election the prime minister says it gives him a powerful mandate to deliver brags that the election delivered the worst result for the labor party since the 1930 s. here is how the party leaders reacted to an historic day in westminster the proud to say that members of a new one nation government a people's government will sit tight from constituencies that have never returned a conservative then be. 100 years and yes they will have been able will we mandate from this election to get it done and we will honor that mandate by general the 31st will not lead the party in any future general election campaign i will discuss with. to ensure there is

a process now of reflection on this result and on the policies that the party will take going forward all the conservatives are celebrating winning their largest majority since 987 hundreds of people have turned out for so-called stop abortion protests some demonstrators were seen clashing with police in the capital in our team coverage saskia taylor filed the following report from london and then we will hear from kevin no one discussing the story with our tuesday. quote they said that would never be affirmed as divisive as the press at referendum but i'm not so sure because i'm standing here because it downing street which is of course the prime minister's residence and i'm surrounded as you can see $500.00 of the interesting photos who are frustrated who are furious and who are angry at the results of the space general election the result of course being a landslide victory for the conservative party the best result in fact since margaret thatcher in 1987

a very disappointing night for its main competitor that is the labor party which saw its worst result in a seat it is to those who backed boris and wanted to get his majority if a person happens they secured 5 years of touring government but for the minority well they woke up this friday with the team and probably thought they were living in some kind of progress but they took not mope around they decided to rally together they decided to organize themselves quite as social media and descended on white pool and they are very clearly categorically condemning the newly elected prime minister we can hear chants of chorus boys cries out out out out with the tories for something not my prime minister on all the packages you can see no 2 races stand up to racism and to sexism and this is what they are accusing john for nothing of saying he's a think that he's a sexist he's a racist he's a homophobe and that his comments such as the fact that muslim women the pragmatic

. it says because of that religious head what a prime example of how free is just not fit to need a culture as multicultural as typecast as the one in the united kingdom and one thing of course that i want to point out to you is the european union flag how could one talk about british politics in this day and age without talking about said let's make absolutely no mistake just for starters and party won because jared mccool been the leader of the opposition labor party proved to be a very controversial pick up he's been smeared as a socialist with very fragile fiscal views but it was bracks it brought the turris triumph now of course if we've learned anything from the last 3 years back that someone has a majority in parliament doesn't necessarily mean that they can i get anything done but it will make it considerably easier for forest as he tries to push through that directive by trying to catch 2020 so we know that since 2016 politics has proved to be so it's been such

a tense political climate and if protests like this anything to go by we start to see a continuation of strength training of society for yourself to turn a reporter. even though hawkins is mentioned in the studio here tell you how is this being seen more generally is it a result that boris johnson is best dreams can imagine the what the polls are predicting that sort of majority throughout the election campaign but not to this extent i mean labor's been decimated losing your key seats in the northern the heartland of the midlands many of them seats which voted labor for 3050 even close to 100 years so this is very much been a defeat for labor but it's truly. on the question of brics it went in with a very clear message get it done it was very clear very simple it resonated with those areas with those communities that voted to leave and with. no way we're going to get a trade deal signed with britain by the end of 2020 when boris johnson says it's going to be. well that's the thing i mean no trade deal of this size or complexity

has been negotiated with the e.u. ever and he's saying that we're going to come out by genevieve the 1st we've been going until june 2022 negotiate this deal it's also got be ratified of course by the $27.00 even by states if that doesn't happen the prospect of a new deal bricks that come this time next year is that very much of a table big spoke in the works along the line what's going to happen on the border between northern ireland or the republic of ireland that's still not sorted up plus there's the whole scottish question of kicking off even more nationalist parties have done fantastically well in this election i mean speaking of ireland the deputy leader. dogs lost his seat to the new can for the 1st time since 1921 of ireland nationalists now outnumber unionists s.n.p. again a whole different kettle of fish certainly no disunity in scotland they were very clear they wanted to remain in the e.u. the s.n.p. has capitalized on that and made massive gains 48 seats won 8 percent increase last night we saw nicolas 13 jubilant dancing in fact when the leader just wins and lost

her seat and this is what she had to say on independence referendum last like a stunning election win last night for the s.n.p. renew reinforces and strengthens the mandate we have through previous elections to offer the people of scotland a choice over their future that mandy says that it is for the scottish parliament nor a westminster government to say whether and when this should be a new referendum on independence we do have an update since she gave that speech sure just earlier today office of prime minister and saying there's got no intention of allowing a friend in the near future that you result to the 20. has to be respected and there will be a return to division and uncertainty so he's been on an unequivocal that's not a priority that's not going to happen s. and p. they're already preparing to sit down next week and publish what they describe as a detailed democratic case for letting scotland aside. whether there should be

a 2nd independence referendum so boris johnson isn't going to have it easy he may have his hands on tide he may you know have lost the opposition of his own m.p.'s of labor he's got difficult negotiations coming up and he's got the question of scottish independence and in deep trouble in northern ireland as well to deal with that in the wake of that resoundingly victory for the conservatives our colleagues and our 2 u.k. discussed what it all means for braggs it. it to all intents and purposes this selection in became a practice at election which in itself was a defacto referendum and therefore in that context it is some of the standard say that labor votes and tradition that the areas that. the west bromwich outside a building and embrace the conservative party in many large majorities that than in the leafy suburbs the sorry i don't see a referendum taking place now you know if it's a case of ever wanting to rejoin the e.u. it will be as an absolute a study from

a position of great obliqueness i think rex it was probably because syces factor in most voters' minds but there were a few other issues that i mean it's fairly obvious that the labors policies were quite hard left and i think that probably didn't resonate quite so well with as much as the public as they had hoped some of the policies were a little bit a little bit extreme to say the least so that was probably part of it but i think yes the predominant issue was was practice it and the conservative party presented the way forward the certainty of the resolution and the end to the torment and frustration and confusion that we've been suffering for the last few years of course it doesn't mean that the process is finished but i think the 1st stage and crucially the political element of it is now resolved. united states and china have approved a phase by phase trade deal the aim is to cut tariffs on chinese goods while

boosting american farm exports to china as follows in 1000 month trade war between the world's 2 largest economies are these killam up and have more. well rumors have been circulating for the past few days that some kind of deal was in the works to resolve the trade disputes between the usa and china the idea being that the tariffs would be scaled back in exchange for tens of billions of dollars of agricultural products and other things being purchased from the united states and some concessions on china's part now in response to these rumors that we heard the democrats speaking up this was chuck schumer reports say president sold out for a temporary unreliable promise from china it's a purchase some soybeans we've heard this song and dance from china before yet again present company relied on to do the right thing even when his statements were pointing in the right direction now we then heard from donald trump speaking up about how this was simply fake news this is what he said the wall street journal

story on the china do is completely wrong especially this statement on tariffs fake news they should find a better leka but just a few hours afterwards we heard china come forward with an official press conference announcing that phase one of the deal was on the verge of being implemented this is what we heard from the official chinese press conference. the agreement will create better conditions for china and the united states to strengthen cool peroration economy and trade property monies unresolved economic and trade disputes all differences and promote stable growth of china's economic and trade relations given the don would. now trump spoke up afterwards saying that essentially china had agreed to a number of structural changes and would be purchasing a u.s. agricultural products as well as energy and manufactured goods also said that he was hoping to begin work on phase 2 of the agreement but he would want to do that

immediately not wait until 2020 this trade war has been asking lading between the united states and china sense june of 28 teen there's been an escalation of tariffs many many different you know regulations being put in place and different products being targeted but it seems that some kind of resolution is in the works so we now have an agreement of some degree so folks we're waiting to see what happens next there has been hope before that the trade war was going to be resolved and those hopes of then been shortly afterward disappointed so what comes next it remains to be seen but at the moment many are optimistic that it appears that things are moving forward we heard from political economy professor jack rasmussen he believes the trade deal is not as much of a breakthrough as trump is claiming. so no doubt he's trying to show he's achieved something and of course he's exaggerating and bloating the achievement as he typically does as the impeachment you know continues to it's a minor

a chief been interior of for minor amount of foreign products and we don't know where where the rest of the goetia is going so yeah they haven't achieved very much but you know it's interesting that the democrats. who the china deal while they are really you know top. the next acoa us deal which was token just as well but you will see a ratcheting up of the u.s. tech war with china over those 3 next generation technologies because they're not only the technologies of industries of the future but they are the key technologies for military dominance over the next decade and the u.s. is not going to back off unless. the security situation in any geron west africa is deteriorating militants have killed at least 71 soldiers and one of the deadliest ever attacks on the country's army now the terrorist group islamic state has claimed responsibility for the massacre that took place ahead of

a scheduled meeting between the presidents of france and 5 african leaders on a regional security those talks have now been postponed. france has urged nato to provide more support in the region are trees down one quarter looks into the challenges the french military is facing in easier and its other former colonies. africa has become a hotbed of terrorist activity as deadly attacks claiming hundreds of lives have spread like 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 or 70 people were killed by islamists the big players have even postponed a big summit to reconsider their efforts the president so france uneasier agreed to postpone the summit on operation by kanya on the joint chiefs on health force until early 2020 the 2 presidents a 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 also context a lot in this context of this and in light of the decisions that fronts will take a big engagement by its allies is obviously something that would be quite positive

in this a hell that 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 having actually done anything with the armed forces just at the moment when crisis required or. spawn's and it's not the 1st time macro 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 sahil 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 afghanistan all over again deteriorating government control and growing influence from islamic radicals. for more now for more on this we can now cross live to historian gerald horne gerald as always you're one of the people i want to talk to when it comes to situations like this in your what do you see as the root causes of the recent surge in terrorist activity in west africa particularly in. a fossil. what you need to realize that's what's happening in the sauce is the product of a long historical process what i mean is that decades ago screwing the arrow and the colonial independence you had a trade union leader like they were a coming to power in neighboring any conakry france reacted very negatively to

independence by seeking to wreck the getting in the colony taking with it as rents the part of white gold wrecking toilets and all the rest and then like as these all these progressive were convinced to go down as france worked its deadly magic you had the rise of religious zealotry then today there is the conflict between united states and france at the recent nato meeting mr mccrone the french president thought to refocus nate so on religious zealotry but the united states is trying to play its double game it would like to play a full on religious zealotry in western china for example despite the fact that united states recent problems incessantly about the so-called war on terror that is the thing with china and the cross there is no i don't think that's not ruled out the possibility of collaborating with releases that wasn't there or that complicate his ability to work with friends and the thought well you bring up france they have

thousands of troops deployed in the south held region and they spend hundreds of millions of euros on its operations there what do you think the key priorities are for that country for france specifically. well there's your sort of piece suggested natural resources draining them of course from these year but there's also a couple if quorum or french colony is the major producer of oil and i think it's fair to say that france would also like to see the present set up continue to exist where by west african nations in particular and their foreign reserves to power which is basically an indirect loan to this major imperialist country poor west african nation you bring up the idea of imperialism have to ask you do you think that the french presence in west africa is actually helpful or are they just being seen as foreign invaders at this point i think they're being seen as more and bader

keep in mind that there's a lot of resentment towards france going back to the bad old days of colonialism north of the news here mali border of course algeria where the french thought it was a war of the 1050 if you go across the continent you south east to madagascar are the slice of the island you will note that in the late 1948 france that sense of south of madagascar ghar. as a result of a conflict over colonialism so as a result of france's bloody record in africa there is considerable risk which makes it difficult for the nationals of these countries to rally to the french tricolor. idea historian gerald horne as i said earlier one of the people who can help us wrap our minds around the situations there that's for bring us here on our team to national. the deadly unrest 'd has erupted in india over

a new citizenship law that story much more we come back. the way. china is the apollo 11. this decade. it's defining the technological landscape for a whole country is going to happen for a long time. you know world of big. lot and conspiracies 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 smart we need to stop slamming the door. 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. join me every. time i'm sure when i'll be speaking to guests of the world of politics. i'm sure i'll see you then. welcome back this is our to international 2 people have been killed in mass unrest now sweeping through northeast india over a newly approved citizenship bill. a quick fix the new law allows migrants from screen nearby countries to claim indian citizenship but it excludes muslims even though the country is home to around $200000000.00

muslims human rights watch and the united nations have condemned the measure as discriminatory and protesters say the bill violates the indian constitution and the opposition is threatening to take the case to the supreme court hundreds have joined a hunger strike in india's northeast where troops have now been deployed. but are some good aspects of the law. the indication of the law is actually quite good. it basically wanted. my knowledge from 33 neighboring countries to be allowed a solution india the problem is that those of you that minorities are not muslims they are hindus christians sikhs buddhists and other communities all modern slummy non muslims 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. in this is because the government wants to make this muslim issue today would this does not affect everybody i think 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 you cannot just attack india and say that it is discriminating against muslims it is a matter of numbers the sister states there are so many more muslims that we cannot allow them on and there has to be a hand it's not about them being muslim it's that they are such a large minority quote unquote that in india alone we have 200000000 muslims muslims who are feeling persecuted within their own country if the government refuses to listen we will go to supreme court and we will live on the streets of

delhi in the streets of india we will burn copies of the law every bit we will start a new one or pretty movement like oh my god my god it started we will not 'd see this rock perhaps need to go to a muslim country because if we as india whether it's democracy where it's successful or. can a me allow this in pakistan and bangladesh we will be flooded with immigrants it work alas our economy. is swedish or church or recently unveiled an altar priest celebrating same sex relationships stuff was quickly forced to take it down but for not for religious reasons to work. on sunday history's read on students only l g b t altarpiece is received in st paul's church in mamma of course it hangs in the

a thought there are still with us. ask i wouldn't. take i've. not got a. clue . don't do legacy because the ones who come. to want to have all of the kook on the scene do it in the out not as you have done bush. in the local difficult. on you and those 2 morons

who moved a little known to the cynics for learning one thing from the. who would you hire the loony tied to use in to do. the job. one of the media house on the net passing them. 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 with them to simulated ones brother the known simulated ones i thought the are good we should think we are full of that one of the simulated ones. the world is driven by dreamers shaped by one percent of those.

who dares thinks. we dare to ask. this is 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 has all we have coming up the u.s. and china have a deal on phase one of the trade agreement but markets aren't sure how to respond

the reason for that is because of the lack of actual details we're about to separate rumors from fact in a way you won't see anywhere else watch at all regulators are considering filing an injunction against facebook to block a merging of what's at stake and facebook into one after 7 close break down whether the feds have a case. in zimbabwe's president says the wall the country's currency is not working the nation is not going to go back to backing from the u.s. dollar so is crypto the answer so much to get to today so let's get started. and we begin with an agreement on phase one of the u.s. trade deal which will prevent a new round of tariff set to take place on sunday the announcement was made by washington on friday and they confirmed by china though let's face it both sides are being pretty light on specifics and that's being kind there are so few details being given that the markets today frankly seemed confused so let's head to the wall to break down exactly what has been agreed to here because as i mentioned one of the few specifics here actually does come from president trump which states that

both sides.
