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 having no standards whatsoever of trace and their ascertain and take me today i think its very easy to see the similarities between from a forest the both. Of us told. 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 Johnson leadership might look like also a huge amount of anger directed at grassroots members of the conservative party im 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 reason my failed were actually in just the same boy and just the same political paralysis as we saw before in a less paris hilton is through some sort of political alchemy able to unlock that. Given that hes raised expectations pretty hollow 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 use 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 spinola political margins criticising the government and often courting controversy now at the center of british politics everything appears to have changed when it comes to bracks it many question whether anything will change at all the aljazeera london or us president all trump has praised johnsons election saying hes popular because hes seen as britains trump. Really good man is going to be the Prime Minister of the u. K. Now for the elite tough and smart. Theres a britain they trap and speak with saying thats a good thing that they like me over there thats what they want we want to be what they need youll get it done for us is good is going to do a good job of the newly appointed the e. U. Commission chief has warned of challenging times ahead as she congratulated arse johnson. On the land says both sides have to deliver a good deal on the exit from the block and has the European Reaction from paris. Well the main concern for many european leaders really is what will 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 the no deal scenario so theyll be very worried about Boris Johnsons next move now weve heard from some key european figures the french president about omaha who congratulated Boris Johnson on his appointment as britains new Prime Minister he said he looked forward to working with not just on prated but on other issues which france has collaborated with britain break closely such as iran we also heard from the main breaks it 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 italys 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 matto sylviane hes far right party that so made Boris Johnson from the toes of uni a very likeable character indeed. Lets go live now to underage simmons and westminster in Central London a change in leadership andrew but the conditions and the circumstances remain very much the same everyone will be watching to see what sort of Prime Minister Boris Johnson is. Most certainly has been a remarkable day and really as far as Boris Johnson is concerned he did say even though he wanted to be a man of power all along he did say a few years back that me as Prime Minister world as much chance of that happening as there is of Elvis Presley being in mars on mars now thats just one of many statements by his johnsons made that have turned out to be completely wrong and he is prone to gaffes as we know he is also determined it was seem to have this sort of british bulldog type approach to bricks it to charge forward as a negotiating ploy could he have another side a softer side could he switch could he do a sort of chameleon act on the whole thing these are all questions that are Milling Around and well see on wednesday the formality of it all the transfer of power from thats a reason may who will go to visit the queen of Buckingham Palace for formal resignation and then we will see johnson going to meet the queen and after that then a formation of the government and that is going to be incredibly complex he will go to replace the will certainly name his foreign minister earlier on because of the mainly because of the crisis over the british flag tanker in the gulf and iran the is a lot of importance to that could that be jeremy hunt well it had been speculated that might happen but now were thinking that the thinking is supposed to be that there will be someone else but with me right now to analyze whats going on is most his say now youve been an advisor to 2 administrations in downing street you know how it all works what do you make of of what weve seen this past 12 hours well its been a big day here in westminster. Ramifications of course u. K. And beyond to be. Breaks the question that is looming ahead in the next few months who will be the top of the new Prime Minister in tray. But i think what weve also seen is a margin of victory so boris won nikos 66 percent of the vote said to him that will be a big personal mandate and that will give him leeway to demote people to move people around to higher who ones and his team is saying that he wants a cabinet of 2 thirds breaks tears one 3rd remain ministers so i think tomorrow we will see certainly the beginnings the great offices of state being appointed for people where boris could be the chairmans that he can do or the selling which in abroad all the top level stuff trusted people experience peoples another way of saying that hill really be a very narrow some sort of trump like scenario where hell do the old thing but really the advisors will will make the key decisions i think some of the advisors will be very powerful but also i think he will appoint people in key cabinet roles who he can get on with the job and you know they can update him on how many houses are being built was happening on schools but he wont get into my new shine into the details that hes so gaffe prone this into i mean hes so and he and he lies thats what most people say accuser i mean this is why no one saw him for the 1st few weeks of the campaign because he was in really being let out by his team to go and do media and go in do you any to asians though boy he was doing quite interesting he was meeting m. P. s so there is a logic here the 1st group of people he needed to support him were the m. P. s he got them onside then it was the conservative Party Members 160000 people or so and to get their attention you probably do have to vs slightly to the right by then boris is smart isnt it stupid political operator so he now will know now that hes caught into number 10 the next big challenge whenever it comes is winning in. Election for the conservative party for which he has to appeal to a much broader base which means moving back to the same ticket is in the Center Ground there lections of one just briefly finally there is a lot of talk of more resignations being announced and actually taking place here on wednesday or little schmoozing going on though from the forest camp so a lot of people changing and doing u. Turns on the office of jobs and what have you do you see that being some sort of attempt successful attempt to try and smooth things over in this massive rift the conservative party face is a really big rift a lot of people had to talking about unity all the m. P. s are sending out their identikit tweets talking about getting behind the new Prime Minister however the reality is a figurehead has changed the numbers in parliament have not changed the challenges of facing to reason may also will be facing Boris Johnson and with people resigning from the cabinet who were maybe more in the remain side you have just pushed him to the back benches we should fix the votes we should fix how much support you will get and in fact in a view think about the European Research group you were kind of a thorn in the to resume a side now we will have shadow e r g 3 of disaffected former remain ministers who are not going to make life easy for Boris Johnson either so i think the challenges are still very similar. Saying thank you very much indeed so there you have it some interesting analysis there Boris Johnson isnt in number 10 just yet it will be tomorrow night hell be sleeping there moving in and of course it will be another historic day on wednesday when we see that transfer of power but will this work could Boris Johnson end up being the shortest serving Prime Minister in u. K. History all of that is possible these are extraordinary days in terms of politics within the record. They are indeed and a critical few days ahead as they say thank you very much and you.

Cant. Welcome back a look at the top stories parse johnson has won the race to the u. K. s ruling party and will become Prime Minister on wednesday is out to take in case at the end of october with or without the brics a deal. After iran seized in u. K. Flagged oil tanker. The netherlands and france have backed persons for a european at Naval Mission to ensure safe passage through the safe promise. And kenyas finance minister has been released on bail and Corruption Case thats made him the 1st minister to be charged while in office. Or as johnsons time in office will be defined by but his position on the e. U. Hasnt always been consistent. How the next Prime Minister what his way to the top. You know were going to see the likes of like Boris 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 in detail to back them up. We have of course be pushing your party to action so well ask anybody to come out of the 31st 31st. Daughter. Was head of communications under Boris Johnson when he was mayor of london 1st time at city hall showed that hes more than kate. 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 mer and if he was to be the 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 altogether 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 within 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 softer briggss compromise one of the realities facing his heartbreaks it promises become clear i think if 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. But the resistance is strong yes absolutely no chance it is bricks through on up to 30 fish yes he did say during school november the 1st before little miss johnson has reached the pinnacle of power in british politics wielding it would be easy. Or Boris Johnson might think dude is a winning acronym but many were quick to pounce on his choice of words journalist jane merrick tweeted dude wheres my 350000000 a week for the n. H. S. Reference in johnsons now to bunk to claim while campaigning for the bronx at referendum many people compare the u. K. Prime ministers designate to u. S. President donald trump as not always a flattering comparison and then president charles daughter ivanka also came under fire when she congratulated jones becoming the next Prime Minister of the united kingston only that place on surprisingly that tweet was swiftly delete it moving swiftly on from not to bring you more on one of the other top stories today watching the situation in venezuela very closely countries recovering from another major blackout dimitris and to less as a political analyst joins me now from caracas and now this is a country that has been dealing with economic and humanitarian catastrophe so many problems how are people now coping with these massive blackouts which becoming a regular occurrence. Well he had a very good evening from caracas here in caracas who had been to quite a look time without a blackout long time for they have been celebrating shes just a couple of months but yesterday we had another big blackout for the whole country and it got our question and but were not used as i say to. People they are a patients. Who are with their lives we dont have much to practice on that we dont have any problems because people. Dont know what how can be there to say to a situation and i think people that are waiting for have been negotiations in the. Past and there have been ordered brokering to to have a result in the 6 start since it can be counted but for the moment we are just living their lives and waiting to see what will happen and Nicolas Maduro his political opponents have been quick to seize on these blackouts essentially blaming government ineptitude and mismanagement of the grid for what is happening now one quite has been holding a National Assembly session in the street just tell us what hes been doing recently. Yes one guy looked. After 6 months but he claims themself as a. Government the president of the country is trying to keep the people in the attention of the people and the press of the government to to negotiate a solution and actually a new election for the what i noted for it but i didnt say he did the today as usual but im going to since hes. In a square in the eastern part of caracas investor on hold of the blue shield and he said but when its where like we go to with. An American Dream and corporate. Military protection this is a symbolic move. I dont think but everybody anyone in that is well aware and expects what they call out my water will leave the power and sure but the where the cost of it i cut to people that are incarcerated because otherwise the busy model which they whatever so right as you say during that session the assembly voted to reinstate that rio treaty which is a Nato Like Alliance but there are no particular obligations upon that alliance as you say its symbolic and nothing would change from that and why does continues to struggle. Of course its less symbolic than a seller doesnt have an extender creed so does. It i dont know who will protect when israel or from whom because there is the enemy of god or the enemy is inside in venezuela so this is a treaty that will not have any practical. Results and i said i had a stand but my door is doing that because he has special from the radical opposition saying busy but he is not very bold and he is not asking the us to drain military in venezuela busy but to be honest it doesnt depend on the on wide or what the usa and the donut grab will do regarding the national law and i think its a very unfair to criticize him as a someone but hes not trying enough to get out of part of model so busy this is one less just to put a bit more pressure on tomorrow and to appease south as well as the radical opposition but consider but only a military and violence from tucson can be a solution for the counter thank you dimitris tantalus joining us from the venezuelan capital caracas and thanks. Russia has carried out what it said was its 1st long range patrol with china in the Asia Pacific Region triggering hundreds of warning shots from south korea also said the exercise was aimed at increasing cooperation in the region and not directed at any 3rd country but south korea said the aircraft violated its as space both russia and china have dismissed that allegation beijing says all countries enjoy freedom of movement in the region well south korea latest summoned a senior russian diplomat over 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 i junked fellow at the asia focus think tank pacific for him he says china violating the korean air defense zone is a way of showing they dont respect it. Well if you look at what 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 had its focus elsewhere you could imagine it trying to adapt the playbook for for air defense as well its already a bit of an issue thats ongoing because what countries do is they designate an air identification zone that is not part of any treaty or or Un Convention anything like that its just the unilateral space that they ask incoming airplanes to identify themselves in china 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 identifications and well see if that increases and if so what the response of the u. S. And its allies will be over time.
