The man who led the push for brets it will become the u. K. s next Prime Minister or as johnson has won the conservative Party Leadership race wooing Party Members with his promise of a do or die bricks it he says the u. K. Will leave the European Union by october the 31st mr johnson and needs to unite a divided party and an even more polarized country needs barca picks up our coverage from london. It was a 2 horse race but theres only have a been one front runner Boris Johnson demolished his rival foreign secretary jeremy hunt with double the number of votes to become leader of the conservatives and on wednesday the country its now repair a party and a nation torn apart by bricks it deliver bricks it unite the country and defeat jeremy corbett. I know i know from somewhere goes already pointed out that deliver you night and defeat was not the perfect acronym for an Election Campaign since you are pushing its bills dud but they forgot the final easy my friends the energize and i say i say to all the doctors. We are going to energize the country were going to get bricks it done on october 3rd he was going to take advantage of all the opportunities that it will bring in a new spirit of can do Boris Johnson has a clear mandate among conservatives to lead the party but his do or die promise to leave the e. U. On october 31st even without a deal has polarized and panicked many of his opponents thank you doesnt have the qualities to make any kind of Prime Minister of a lay no standards whatsoever of trace and their ascertain integrity i think its very easy to see the similarities between from forest the boat along the coast. And they both seem to fly by the seat. And make up the policy as they go along there is a wave of worry about what Boris Johnsons leadership might look like also a huge amount of anger directed at grassroots members of the conservative party eyeing conservative m. P. s for making were the most divisive figure is in modern british politics the next leader of the country earlier in the day cabinet ministers a rifle teresa mayes last meeting as Prime Minister many of these ministers will be asking how johnson can succeed. To resume a failed were actually in just the same just the same political paralysis as we thought before and unless Boris Yeltsin is through some sort of political alchemy able to unlock that then given that hes raised expectations pretty hard the recriminations could be venomous one big expectation raised by johnson is of a new brakes a deal with brussels the use repeatedly said it wont reopen negotiations but as the blocks chief breaks it negotiated tweeted the e. U. s ready for dialogue moments after johnsons win was declared bookmakers were taking bets on his demise 5. 00 to 1. 00 to be the shortest serving Prime Minister ever he could face a no confidence vote if he fails to deliver on his promises for many months johnson spin on the political margins criticising the government and often courting controversy now at the center of british politics everything appears to have changed but when it comes to bracks it many question whether anything will change at all. Aljazeera under. Join a whole looks of Boris Johnsons rise to the top good movie whatever it is he likes of places johnson and brussels have a history together and it doesnt point to a happy conclusion as a young reporter based in the city johnson specialized in sometimes fabricated front page stories belittling european bureaucracy hes editor at the time describes johnsons willingness to tell any audience whatever he thinks most likely to please heedless of the inevitability of its contradiction an hour later so Mike Johnsons declarations on similarly be promises made to win over his Party Without the substance or detail to back them up. Of. Course be pushing your plan into action so as to be ready to come out october. 31st the 1st call come what may come up their. Daughter who was head of communications under Boris Johnson when he was mayor of london Boris Johnsons time at city hall showed that hes more than capable of doing detail he doesnt drown it he doesnt allow officials to come up with excuses for not doing things which is why he delivered almost everything he promised as mir and if he was to be that bulldozer if you like refusing to take no for an answer in number 10 then he could be he could be a successful Prime Minister as mayor for 8 years johnson was a flamboyant salesman for the city with a selfeffacing charm that indeed him to many but the challenge of downing street will far outweigh the city on both sides people are not all together convinced of that he is as sincere about this as he has been in other things. But were about to find out and frankly the way hes now been selected with the conservative party hes got very little room for maneuver so what however this journey started. He is now the leader of the press a party in all but name and thats what he has to deliver or itll all be over very very quickly Boris Johnson famously prepared to news paper columns favoring both leave and remain before opting to support the leave campaign ahead of the 2016 referendum some wonder now whether hell be persuaded to opt for a soft breaks it compromise once the realities facing his heart breaks it promises become clear i think it is faces a huge challenge i mean any any party takes faces huge constraints in terms of both what the e. U. Will agree to and what parliament will agree to and he might say that hes going to leave the e. U. On the 31st of october to deal with delhi fundamentally that is not an issue entirely in his gift and it wouldnt surprise me at all if behind the scenes his team are preparing for a possible general election in the autumn because it might well go wrong supporters compared johnson to Winston Churchill a crisis leader the e. U. Wont call his bluff they suggest because no one knows what he might do next door. 7 but the resistance hes strong he has absolutely no chance of getting his bricks through on october 31st yes he did say do or doing so on november the 1st it would fall in on his sort johnson has reached the pinnacle of power in british politics wielding it wont be easy jonah hold aljazeera in london. Natasha butler is in paris where shes been monitoring reaction from europe. Well the main concern for many european leaders really is what world Boris Johnsons appointment mean for the briggss process Boris Johnson has made it very clear that he doesnt wish to shy away from a deal brigs it but a no deal breaks it is something that most european leaders have been saying all along for months and for years its something they would like to avoid they say that it doesnt serve the interests of any member state in the European Union and that it doesnt serve the interests of britain and theyve worked very hard to push away a no deal scenario so theyll be very worried about Boris Johnsons next move now weve heard from some key european figures the french presence a man on my call who congratulated Boris Johnson on his appointment as britains new Prime Minister he said he looked forward to working with not just on break say but on other issues in which france has collaborated with britain very closely such as iran we also heard from the main break that negotiator Michel Barnier who said that he looks forward to now completing the brakes a process if you like to an orderly breaks it also heard from another european leader who took perhaps a different angle on Boris Johnsons appointment. Is the a far right interior minister of italy also italy deputy Prime Minister and he said in a tweet that because Boris Johnson was seen by the left wing as a dangerous more dangerous than matter who sylviane is far right party that so made Boris Johnson for matters of the need a very likeable character indeed.

Irans foreign minister Mohammad Javad zarif is the 1st official to comment on the latest developments out of london the foreign minister tweeted that the may government seizure of iranian oil at behest of the us is piracy pure and simple i congratulate my former counterpart Boris Johnson becoming u. K. s Prime Minister iran does not seek confrontation we have 1500 miles of persian gulf coast line these are our waters and we will protect them his sentiments are shared by other high ranking officials in iran weve heard from the 1st Vice President who also said that the suggestion of a Coalition Force to patrol the waters of the strait of hormuz and guarded the ships that pass through it is absolutely not necessary and that iran is capable of providing security to the ships in the strait of hormuz and it is up to iran and the regional countries to ensure the safety of their waters meanwhile weve understood that there has been the extraordinary meeting called in vienna for sunday july 28th between the remaining signatories of the j c p oh wait thats a 2015 uclear agreement the iranians will want to discuss the lack of commitment to the Nuclear Agreement by the remaining signatories mainly the european ones thats britain france and germany on tuesday the iranian president has this bachelor that heating foreign minister. With a letter for french president and micron. Will deliver this letter to the president in paris we understand that this is really the last ditch effort to try and salvage what is left of this 2015 nuclear deal because iran is insisting that it will continue to scale back its commitments every 60 days until it sees some tangible results on what the europeans have been promising under this deal. Russia says has carried out its 1st long range patrol with china in the Asia Pacific Region the Defense Ministry statements that the exercise was aimed at increasing cooperation in the region and not directed to any 3rd country south korea earlier said it fired warning shots of Russian Military aircraft that violated its airspace both russia and china have dismissed that allegation beijings as all countries enjoy freedom of movement in the region and is launching a protest saying south korean aircraft operated near doctorow island which tokyo sees as japanese territory. South korea later summoned a senior russian diplomat because of the incident. The reason why we summoned the Russian Deputy chief of mission without prior notice is to lodge a stern protest on russian aircraft entering the korean air Defense Identification Zone and violation of our airspace and strongly urge them to prevent a reoccurrence andrea is a senior fellow at the Pacific Forum a think tank based in hawaii he says china has also shown it does not respect south koreas airspace. Well if you look at works china has done in the South China Sea which is essentially create new facts on the ground by gradually building up new capabilities while the United States will had its focus elsewhere you could imagine it trying to adapt that playbook for for air defense as well its already a bit of an issue thats ongoing because what countries do is they designate air identification zone bet is not a part of any treaty or or a Un Convention anything like that its just a unilateral space that they ask incoming airplanes to identify themselves in china as and south koreas overlap so its pretty regular for china to violate. Or traverse the space that overlaps as a way of demonstrating that they dont care or dont respect that south korean identification zone well see if flights that actually push up against actual airspace which is smaller than the identifier for cations i will see of that increases and if so what the response of the u. S. And its allies will be over time still to come for you here on aljazeera plunged into the dark again venezuelan spent another night without telling tricity but the government says its not to blame.
