and sean thomas what we glad to have you with. all right boris johnson's conservative party is celebrating a historic victory in thursday's general election prime minister says it gives him a powerful mandate to deliver the election delivered the worst result for the labor party since the 1930 s. here's how the party leaders reacted to and historic day in westminster. proud to say that members of our 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 a willing mandate from this election to get brix 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 our party to ensure there is a process now of reflection on this result and on the policies that the party will

take going forward after the conservative victory was confirmed hundreds of people turned out for so-called stop forest protests some were seen clashing with police in the capital and our team coverage saskia taylor filed the following report from london then we'll hear from kevin owen discussing the story with r.t. is. what they said that would never be a vote as divisive as the present referendum but i'm not so sure because i'm standing here is it downing street which is of course the prime minister's residence and i'm surrounded as you can see $100.00 are going to focus who are frustrated who are furious and who are angry at the results of the us case the 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 for its worst result in the teeth to those who backed boris and wanted to get his majority in a pretty happens they secured 5 years of touring government but for the minority well they woke up this fight to the teeth 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 they have descended on white pool and they are very clearly categorically condemning the newly elected prime minister we can hear chants of chorus course cries out out out out with the tories in course talk to not my prime minister on all the pac cause you can see no 2 races stand up to racism and to sexism and this is what they're accusing the junks nothing of saying he's a big good he's a sexist he's a racist he's a homophobe and that his comments such as the fact that muslim women look like

netiquette says because of their religious head was a prime example of how free is just not fit to need a culture as multicultural as strike us as the water 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 brecht said let's make absolutely no mistake yes boris johnson party won because jared mccool been the leader of the opposition labor party proved to be a very controversial sikka he's been smith is a socialist with very fragile fiscal views but it was bracks at the brought the turris triumph now of course if we've learned anything from the last 3 years the fact that someone has a majority in parliament doesn't necessarily mean that they can get anything done but it will make it considerably easier for forest as he tries to push through stuff corrected by trying to touch across 2020 so we know that since 2016 politics has proved to be so divisive it's been such

a tense political climate and protests like this are anything to go by we start to see a continuation of the front train of society. to turn a reporter for the evening to a whole can just mentions the studio he has this being seen more generally a result of these. strings could imagine the war the polls. majority throughout the election campaign but not to this extent i mean labor's been decimated losing your key seats in the northern heartlands of the midlands war many of them seats which voted labor for 3050 even close to 100 years so this is very much been a defeat for labor based really on lot of people are saying on the question of brics it went in with a very clear message get bricks it done it was very clear very simple it resonated with those areas with those communities that voted to leave and we've heard michel barnier say no way we're going to get a trade deal signed with britain by the end it will be $21.00 boris johnson so 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 2020 to negotiate this deal it's also got be ratified of course by the 27 even the states if that doesn't happen the prospect of a new deal bricks that come this time next year is that very much on the 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 are 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 921 and of ireland nationalists now outnumber unionist 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 there isn't 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 night stunning election win last night for the s.n.p. . reinforces and strengthens the mandate we have from previous elections to offer the people of scotland a choice over their future that mandy says that it is. the scottish parliament nor a waste minister government to say whether and when this should be a new referendum on independence we do have an update since she gave that speech should just earlier today the office of prime minister and saying there's got no intention of allowing our friend in the near future they have a result 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 the side on whether there should be

a 2nd independence referendum so boris johnson isn't going to have it easy he may have his hands on tidy my you know have lost the opposition of his own m.p.'s of labor he's got difficult negotiations coming up on he's got the question of scottish independence i'm in deep trouble and all that on as well to deal with that well in the wake of that resigning victory for the conservatives our colleagues that are to u.k. discussed what it all means for. all intents and purposes this election in the end became a bracks at election which in itself was a de facto referendum and therefore in that context it is some of the standing to see that labor voters tradition that those areas such as this. west bromwich side a booming embrace the conservative party in seemingly large a majority center 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 outsider starting from

a position of great obliqueness i think rex it was probably because size is a factor in most voters' minds but there were a few other issues do in munich fairly obvious to labor's policies were quite hard left and i think that probably didn't resonate quite so well with as much as the public had hoped some of the policies were a little bit a little bit extreme. 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 the following 1000 month trade war between the world's 2 largest economies artie's killam up and has 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 trump 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 president trump can't be 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 properly monies unresolved economic and trade disputes all differences and promote stable growth of china's economic and trade relations given the downward pressure on the world economy 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 as. elation of terror of 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 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 you heard from political economy professor jack russell 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 the 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 talked up 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 for military dominance over the next decade and the u.s. is not going to back off unless. the security situation in ne jerry in west africa is deteriorating militants have killed at least 71 soldiers in one of the deadliest ever attacks on the country's army and islamic a terrorist group has claimed responsibility for the massacre that took place ahead

of a scheduled meeting between the presidents of france and 5 african leaders on regional security those talks have now been postponed france has urged nato to provide more support in the region or to stomach order looks now into the challenges the french military is facing in these air and its other former colonies. africa has become a hotbed of terrorist activity as deadly attacks claiming hundreds of lives have spread like a wildfire. europe will have to 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 for 70 people were killed by islamists the big players have even postponed a big summit to reconsider their efforts the president so front 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 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 france will take a big engagement by its allies is obviously something that would be quite positive in this a hell 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 is required or. spawn's 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 saw hell 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 mind so 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 are some parallels between france's difficulties finding terrorism in the soho and american difficulties fighting terrorism. but of police are very advantageous from the. militants in both cases you have 0 interest for all power trying to essentially stabilize. remotely and there are real questions. citizens of those countries whether it's worth it to continue investment company in for an era of this problem from for assistance from get involved. not only. to

combat the terrorists but for their own national interests i think out in the. intervention in mali in 2013 there may have been a false sense in fruits that it how to handle on this kind of terrorism though i think france will increasingly try to. cut it. especially if united states in the u.k. . under terms of the ball. no longer banned by an historic treaty if the u.s. has conducted a 2nd missile test of a weapon that would have been blocked by the i.m.f. treaty with russia which washington dropped earlier this year it comes just days after the russian foreign minister was in the american capital to discuss nuclear defense artie's more for national as more. the united states is said to come together with allies on the possible deployment of intermediate range ballistic missiles once we develop intermediate range missiles and if my commanders require

them then we will work closely and consult closely with our allies in europe asia and elsewhere with regards to any possible deployments once we develop but it seems they already have today the u.s. air force successfully tested a prototype conventional ground launch ballistic missile congrats to the joint government industry team for going from concept to launch in less than 9 months the land based missile tested at a california air force base on thursday flew further than 500 kilometers before it was terminated over the ocean a distance which by definition makes it an intermediate range missile and was banned under the i.n.f. treaty that america withdrew from in february is banned no more and all this is just days after russian foreign minister sergei lavrov returned from his stateside trip to meet secretary of state my point peo and donald trump holding and all the brunch we repeated the proposal of president putin to stablish

a mutual moratorium on the creation and deployment of those weapons that were prohibited by the iran after we were due to discuss this with our colleagues in the us if they are interested back in september of 2 weeks after america's final withdrawal from their landmark i.n.f. agreement a cornerstone of global strategic security for more than 3 decades what report called on world leaders to suspend missile deployments in europe that were banned under the u.s. russian nuclear pact and into a spokesperson confirmed contacts from the russian authorities that the idea of a moratorium didn't seem a credible offer to them russia has already deployed. in violation of the i.n.f. treaty unless and until russia verifiably destroy the. system this moratorium on deployment is not a real offer moscow has repeatedly said that if washington continues with its missile deployments russia will have to respond accordingly respond being the key

word perhaps america's idea of an aggressor needs to flee the other way round. 2 people have been killed in mass on rast now sweeping north east india over a newly approved citizenship bill. the. rule the law allows migrants from 3 nearby countries to crime indian citizenship but it excludes muslims though the country is home around 200000000 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 been deployed but has some good aspects of the law. the indication of the law is actually quite good. it basically wanted to drag my knowledge

from 3 to 3 neighboring countries to be allowed to citizenship in india 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 slummy non muslim i think this law is unconstitutional. i think it is illegal i challenge this law in the honorable. and i am confident it will be struck down but. it is not a pick only muslim stands for the government. in this because the government wants to make this muslim issue today would this does not affect instance this affects 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 sisters sticks there are so many more muslims that we cannot allow them on and there has to be here and it's not about them being muslim it's that they are such a large minority quote unquote that and india. well we have 200000000 muslims muslims who are feeling persecuted within their own country if the government refuses to listen before the supreme court and we will the streets of delhi in the streets of india every we will burn copies of the law every bit we will stop the known movement like how. it started we will 'd not accept this role perhaps need to go to a muslim country because if we as india whether it's democracy where it's successful economy allow this and pakistan and bangladesh we will be flooded with immigrants if a collapse our economy. is swedish or church or recently unveiled an altar piece
