of this party in the 19th century. according to the announced results, the conservative party won 71 seats, the liberal democratic party won 44 seats , the national party of scotland four seats, and other independent political parties also won 22 seats. according to the report of the ministers of defense, culture, justice and education of england lost their parliamentary seats. and he was prevented from entering the atati parliament. conservative party officials described the election results as disastrous . sunak had earlier congratulated kerr starmer on his election victory and asked the conservatives to think about the election result. thank you very much for your support until the next part of the news, have a good day. when you know that you can play any knot, no matter how it is, you will break the cage and fly, you will not get tired, for us, fatigue has no meaning, if the eyes don't flow, there is a way the sea , wherever there is a test, there are our footprints. you are the land of the heart, which god has no limits. our story is love, there is no sick love . believe me, we will reach the place where the limit of your belief is , will you see the dream t

in the united kingdom, the scottish national party won , which is in favor of the so-called exit of britain, the exit of scotland from the united kingdom. well, in the previous elections, they became the third party in the british parliament, which is a lot. it was a so-called surprise for many british political activists, but it seems that this process of power exchange between the conservative party and the labor party will continue. mr. dr. bagheri, i have two or three more questions for your excellency , please answer very briefly. you mentioned the issue of scotland. well, the issue of separatism in scotland has been faced by england for years also. the discussion of brexit and separation from the european union , which has caused opposition within england , how much do you think the defeat of the conservative party will affect these issues ? two are almost against the scottish referendum, and on this so-called issue. emphasis on their advertising campaigns. regarding the election debate , mr. jeremy corwin, who was in the labor party in 2019, said that we can return at all, that is, a referendum. let's put

so i think the showing of this reform party might be another piece of the story also. no. so the voter in scotland of the, the scottish national policy, they've had a very, very bad night, is the projections are right. projections. say that only going to get 10 seats. well, in 20195 years ago, the last election, they got 48. so it's clearly i think going to push the cause of scottish independence back quite a bit. james, thank you. a but spring in the best one of it, shoes as a counting sentiment bonnet to north and on. now at 3 constituents is, i mean counted the end, it's viewed as one of the capitals key areas. so you are at one of the most important backgrounds in what's happening that in the month. that's why we housing is that the way here there will add force museum 8th the 3 constituents? is that how the traditional conservative hotline is? one of them has had the same since having to them uses 2005 threes as many as but she is set to use that sees according to the exit. paul, another one. well that the constituencies had an n p. that was the full month for just 5 minutes to margaret thatcher in the pause and that cons

so the british public have completely flipped in many of their voting patterns, even in scotland, with the scottish national party has seen its vote collapse. there's been a lot of change here and a triumph for keir starmer because the last election, the labour party had the worst showing that it's ever had now it's got one of its best showings. but you have underneath all of that something very interesting going on. you're seeing the hard and the hard left also having successes. so the green party getting four seats, whereas is extraordinary, nigel farage, who was honestly very close to donald trump, winning a seat. but also he got the conservatives collapsing. you're going to see the hard right? having an influence on the new conservative party that comes out of this so it's not to say the hard-right haven't had a role to play here in the same way. they have in other parts of europe. it's just not as defined, but we have got now a centrist government which has moved slightly to the left so keir starmer, the next prime minister, what should people know about him? he's a former human rights lawyer. he is a blair,

of national renew. outlook is urgent. as we get it today, century, very about speaking of his audience with king jones donna had seen his party when big not only in england, but in wells and scotland to richie so not conceited defeat early on. and he came back to london to resign. those conservative party border, i am sorry. i have given this joel smile. but you have sent a clear signal to the government of the united kingdom must change, and yours is the only judgment that matters. i have heard your anger, your disappointment, and i take responsibility for this loss. the among high profile conserves of loses was less trust. britton's, shortest southern prime minister ever. her actions led to a bull market. the collapse in studying the liberal democrats, the most successful election on record taking many conservative votes and also taking votes from the conservatives was the right wing populace reform u. k. policy. it's not just disappointment with the conservative policy. there was a massive gas publish sense of right of british politics a my job is to fit it. we will now be targeting labels with coming from the but being that out about about the labor party, the scottish nation,

the scottish national party practically lost most of its votes in parliaments of great britain in favor of labor. ugh. and this means that she may lose power in scotlandn favor of labor. and this means that there is no danger of such a referendum. the situation in northern ireland has changed. also in an absolutely incredible way, because it is democratic john. the party, which was generally the center of political influence of supporters of the preservation of northern ireland as part of great britain, it lost its position, there was a dramatic moment on the night of the vote, even in the morning when it became clear that one of the representatives of the political dynasty of paisley, which created this democratic. the party lost his seat in the british parliament, which he and his relatives have been elected there for 50 years, people with the surname pasley, and now he has lost his seat, this is a real political earthquake in northern ireland, but what does this mean? this means that there is an opportunity for more harmonious cooperation between catholics and protestants. because these forces, let's say, they are losing little by little the ionist

scotland here, the scott especially national party and these elections, they had 48 seats. they went down tonight. they were the incumbent party running the scottish parliament. so there's been a reaction against most of the incumbents, and it is in many cases pushed either to the extreme right or the extreme left. and here in the uk, we saw an expression of that with the with the wreck pro brexit reform party, right-wing party led by nigel farage, a friend of donald trump. so i think the connective tissue is definitely this reaction reaction to herding economy and also to a degree immigration. and that's a unifying factor for a lot of these parties across europe yeah, never mind across the pond at right here in the u.s. >> thank you so much. it sounds like it's a typical rainy day in london during the summer. thanks for joining us coming up. new hope for a ceasefire-for-hostages deal between israel and hamas. we're going to get the latest reporting from tel aviv and i will talk to a mother of a young woman who has been held captive in gaza for nine months sunday, dr. sanjay gupta reports on hold for the devastating effects of alzheimer's reversing, something that seems so preordained. >> it sounds ex
