Plenty more ahead on this news hour including north korea fires missiles into the sea just weeks after agreeing to restart new kid talks but the United States. And a very french drenching people are cooling off with parts of europe in the clutches of yet another heat wave. And in sports the young boxer who is following in his famous fathers footsteps will be here with that story. Now in his 1st speech to m. P. s as britains new Prime Minister Barak Johnson has asked the European Union to think again about its refusal to renegotiate or breaks that deal johnson also said his government would prioritise preparations for exiting without an agreement if there is no deal by the october 31st deadline Charlie Rangel reports from. Inside 10 downing street a rousing welcome from a loyal team Prime Minister Boris Johnsons new cabinet dominated by brics it hardliners at the 1st pep talk and as you. Know. We. Live in the European Union. October really dont know if theyve got this far too much noise in this strain but in parliament a very different mood johnson had promised to unite the conservative party but his ruthless decision to sack or sidelined 17 senior ministers may have done the opposite for his enemies on the back benches on many but his 1st statement was one of optimism channeling his hero Winston Churchill painting a picture of a golden future for britain that is why i believe that if weve been there our seniors do the toss. There is every chance that in pretty deep deep. Into it i fully intend to be a rock. I dont know what this is here it is joy that we will be able to look back only this period this extraordinary period as the beginning of a new golden age for our you know. For the Opposition Leader dismantle that idea. No one underestimates this country but the country. But the country is deeply worried that the new Prime Minister overestimates himself. This is the last day parliament will sit before breaking for the summer but the challenges facing the new Prime Minister and mens negotiate a new brics a deal in 98 days a deal the e. U. Says cannot be renegotiated and fix a multitude of problems facing Britain Health Care Education and security all with just a parliamentary george of just 3 many say the country could be heading for a general election you know he did say during the Leadership Campaign that he doesnt want to have a general election before hes delivered bracks but that doesnt seem to be as much of a hold red line as i would search 1st of october so that might suggest that he will try and course that election relatively soon these are the skills to these this is a Prime Minister with a deadline like no other facing unprecedented opposition hoping his optimism is infectious Charlie Angela aljazeera london. Well our correspondent Andrew Symonds is outside parliament in westminster for us and you quite the performance from virus in the house what kinds of reactions everything. Well im not a reaction but 1st of all just tell you through a bit of detail at 129 questions port to Boris Johnson it lasted 2 hours and he was like a bull charging making promises right left and center questions sometimes briefly sometimes stridently some cross sometimes almost angrily rounding on various politicians but as you heard there the labor leader Jeremy Corben was suggesting that he overestimated his own capabilities hes certainly made a lot of promises hes seen by many politicians now as to have really sold down the line of busy becoming a campaign government rather than an inclusive government a Campaign Cabinet with one direction and that is to get the country out of the European Union and we understand that that johnson will be speaking on the phone john claud young go of the e. U. Commission in the coming hour what is going to be discussed there is unknown would you like to be a fly on the wall of that warm days insistent that the Northern Irish backstop is dead the its not interested in that insurance policy which would preserve the trade for the Irish Republic which would solve a massive problem for the Irish Republic that could happen which is a member of the European Union the Irish Republic still desperately worried about this situation and so we have as a position now where by the government the actual parliament is now in summer recess there was a suggestion from the small Opposition Party the liberal democrats that there should be a vote of confidence in johnson labor was not interested in that will certainly not now. But you can most certainly expect them to be pushing towards it given the opportunity theyre keeping their powder dry its quite possible according to one person whos quite close was quite close to Boris Johnson a former tory m. P. There could be an election sooner rather than later i think that Boris Johnson if he sees that hes going to lose a vote of say no confidence in the house of commons i think he would rather call the election than wait for his government to fall and the election to follow he would rather stay on the front foot so i think the whole of britain ought to be on the alert for an early snap general election called perhaps right at the beginning of september that might happen landrieu as you say we keep hearing all this optimism and all these promises from johnson but given all the challenges he also faces whats the likelihood of an early election were hearing all the speculation already. Well there is high expectation that could go that way no one really wants it least of all the conservative party but lets face it theyve got will have a majority of 2 by the end of summer by election is not going to go their way most certainly there could be some defections from the conservative party that cant be ruled out just a quick word on the reason may she was watching the cricket at lords this afternoon instead of being there a lot of her former cabinet members were there as well whats her level of interest in whats going on here we have a real party type of situation in government now where the brick city is in a hog charge position and so therefore the answer to your question is its very possible for the good that could be the election and that is something Boris Johnson is preparing for you could tell from his body language charging that the labor Opposition Leader jeremy cole been sitting there just his mouth was dry it would seem there was a very sort of strange mood in the opposition front bench but yes its very like to the be at an action and anybody would guess which way that could go and that is a real possibility anderson is keeping an eye on all that drama for us in westminster thank you. Well johnsons promise to renegotiate a new deal with the e. U. Without the socalled backstop to keep the irish border open has already been rejected by islands leave them here varadkar told Irish Television that brussels wont change the agreement already made with the u. K. Listen to what he said today i got the impression that he wasnt just talking about at least in the back stuff he was talking about a whole new deal better deal for britain thats not going to happen the European Council doesnt meet until the 12th of october weve no plans to meet any other earlier than us and even if we were to change the negotiation guidelines we would be changing to them. On to other news now and north korea has conducted its 1st missile test just weeks after expressing more anger planned military drills between south korea and the United States now south korea and japan say 2 short range missiles were fired into the sea off the coast at one sam south Koreas Defense Ministry is urging pyongyang to stop its tests or noodles on. North korean government has been closely monitoring the related moves of north korea and we urge north korea to stop such actions help the air force relieve tensions on the Korean Peninsula south korean government will step up its monitoring bluster under u. S. Soft corporation and closely communicate regard with this you remember that last month u. S. President trump held talks with north Korean Leader kim jong un during a surprise visit when he became the 1st sitting american president to step foot into north korea rob a bride has more from seoul. Officials in south korea and also japan are analyzing data from this double Missile Launch working with their u. S. Allies looking in particular at one of these missiles that traveled a total of 690 kilometers which they believe could be a new type of weapon with reports that possibly this missile has a guided capability and they bring it to avoid interception now if this is true then it means that north korea while they have certainly stopped Nuclear Testing on the launch of bigger Intercontinental Ballistic Missiles are still developing their Weapons Systems its a message that has been driven home with the release of photographs earlier this week of kim jong un the north Korean Leader visiting a submarine in a shipyard now its not known whether this is a new submarine under construction of the North Koreans claim or simply an older type of sub that is being refitted but the consensus among analysts is that it is a submarine that is large enough to carry submarine launched Ballistic Missiles a technology that North Koreans have been trying to develop over the last couple of years i think people are in south korea japan and the United States need to be more cons on the bar that has inspection by condemning of the new type of submarine. Test firing of short range of projectiles because if north korea acquires Nuclear Submarines they can launch Nuclear Policy missiles then it would be a game changer thursdays Missile Launch it seems to be an expression of north korean anger at upcoming exercises between south korean and u. S. Forces in august and also showing its frustration that once again talks seem to have stalled even after the heightened hopes of the surprise meeting between donald trump and kim jong il. In the d. M. Z. Barely a few weeks ago it is the fear of talks collapsing that has led to a guarded response from south korea saying that the launch of the missiles was a threat but not necessarily a provocation japan had a Firm Response saying that if this does turn out to be Ballistic Missiles even though they were short range this does violate u. N. Resolutions and could and should possibly have consequences.

Bush recall his government has announced his resignation after nearly 2 weeks of mass protests that was sponsored by the release of offensive messages sent between ricotta rosie o.

May be a small island in Northern Europe but it retains a seat at the worlds top table because of its economy and its history Boris Johnson is now taking over leadership of a country with that permanent seat on the u. N. Security council as well as membership of the g. 7 of nato and for now the European Union pm Boris Johnson couldnt have a more different style from his predecessor to reason may be what hes allowed an unpredictable will certainly be a change of tone could there be a change of policy too the 1st test will be iran the u. S. Has been trying to apply maximum pressure on to iran could the u. K. With one of its tankers seized by iran more fully join in that effort now you may see a bit of a transition here now as you have oil tankers being seized who have drones being shot down that all may may change quite a bit here in the in the coming months i do find it was interesting that the iranians reached out very early and made a Public Statement congratulating Boris Johnson on his on his election to certainly there was an effort there to try to draw him away from the u. S. And others europe and the u. S. Dont share the same approach to iran President Trump pulled out of the Iran Nuclear Deal while european nations with china and russia a trying to keep it alive if the u. K.

Of the United Nations libyas navy is saying that at least 115. 00 people are missing in a shipwreck off its coast around 140. 00 were rescued are being returned to libya libya as a hub for migrants many of whom try to reach europe in risky boats u. N. Agencies have repeatedly called for survivors not to be returned to libya because of conflicts in the country charlie actually from the United Nations Refugee Agency has reacted to the sinking saying that today we have seen yet another tragedy on the mediterranean according to testimony from survivors its estimated that some 150. 00 people have died at sea which would make this the largest shipwreck on the mediterranean in 2019 this horrific Event Highlights once again the dying need for a shift in approach to the mediterranean situation action is needed to save lives at sea and prevent people from getting on these boats in the 1st place by offering safe legal alternatives or we can speak to Leonard Doyle who is the spokesman for the International Organization for migration he joins us now via skype from sheffield in england manage 150 people potentially dead in this shipwreck in this is just the largest this year talk us through the numbers more broadly and the trends that were seeing. Well this is of the really a very dramatic it has meant as you just read and said there have been about 4000 people whove taken to see this year and have been intercepted arrested and brought back suddenly typically put in detention which we are so its really its it is a 0 sum game for the migrant to say that they think theyre going to try to get a better life they end up in the hands of smugglers usually quite often abused and then if it do make it out of the house it are brought about and in this case not picked up a drama about about 300 people left and comes in a wooden boat where the stand they were then put it to reproduce on the high seas out of which one will see this house wooden box its out and turns by the 150 people thats on land and the survivors such as they are managed to swim ashore but the numbers are particularly high dramatic and as you say many of these migrants are then being returned to libya what kind of support are they receiving that well its very controversial because typically they get to get some support from my colleagues and i remember trying to give them medical aid or are trying to give them some some other support but well its a bit taken back into detention into something that we advocate absolutely yes or is it hard to believe in any way have been proven centers of the notion that theyre locked away i mean really committed no crime whatsoever except trying to improve their lives its really all in there at the hands are often at the hands of quite criminal people you can see that in this case traffickers mothers obviously trying to get into europe to try to make money out of the various 6 books so its really a misery to tell them this report microbes or learned as you say clearly the danger of the crossing isnt acting as a deterrent and now were hearing from the units they are saying that advent action is needed to provide safe and legal tentative is what kind of safe level of tent of that were talking about here well it could quite realize it was you know stuart and our earlier this week to join statement calling really for. Legal issues for people to those not qualified to get those if. Protection goes really good good example of civility just a refugee so there was also to be expected so we clearly to have some stability in libya the problem is that theres a conflict going on and the moderates and become all of those go there used to make money for people you have to pay that much its. Certainly set a little bit with the hottest its just not a happy situation. Its truly away from her banning books from rescue people who are simply not the way to go and Leonard Doyle there from the International Organization for migration thank you for speaking to us on out of there and on naval chiefs across west africa calling for more funding to fight rising cases of piracy in that region theyve been meeting in ghanas capital accra friend Maritime Defense conference delegates are looking for solutions to fight piracy in the gulf of guinea theyre also debating issues such as human and Drug Trafficking as well as an eagle fishing representatives of 10 West African States are taking part and u.

Want to be dependent on revenues taxes come from the sea and ill do some International Troops and so we like to make sure that you see how the end of the day we probably are among the couple of giving show that you see at stake is this because 80 percent of the worlds trade happens on water piracy is on the rise not just.

For me u. S. Special Counsel Robert Mueller has insisted once again that he did not exonerate President Trump on obstruction of justice but it was testifying at 2 different hearings in congress about his investigation into russian interference in the 2016 president ial election its the 1st time hes answered questions publicly since his report which shop a divides democrats and republicans mike hanna reports. It was in President Trumps eyes a victory lap appearing on the white house lawn to repeat his assertion that hed been vindicated in dismissing the investigation one that he claimed had placed a phony cloud over his presidency i think everybody understands that i think everybody understands whats going on there was no defense to this ridiculous hoax this witch hunt thats been going on for. A long time. Earlier the special counsel was careful to show no bias to one side will be other disappointing those who wanted him to enlarge on his findings that there were 10 different acts that could be seen as the president obstructing justice what they largely got was this i refer to the report on that not to speak to that along with a response thats trending on twitter as a new way of saying politely go away i take your question but he did confirm the president has not been telling the truth about the investigation so it did not include he did not commit it to actually just. Zanker that is correct and what about total exoneration if you actually totally exonerate the prez well you know in fact your reports expressly states that it does not exonerate the person it does republicans previously defended the president he said donald trump is not above the law hes not but he did im sure shouldnt be below the law which is where volume 2 of this report puts him the former special counsel did seem to indicate the president could still face trouble from his report could you charge the president with a triumph after he left office yes you believe that he committed you could charge the president on stage with obstruction of justice after he left office yes in an evening News Conference House Democrats continue to reject the view of the president and his republican supporters and were insistent that millers questioning was a crucial part of a congregational investigative process that could end in impeachment why id like it to be a strong case is because i dont its based on the facts the facts in the law thats what matters not politics not partisanship just patriotism after a day that highlighted the Political Division in congress one thing is clear the investigation into President Trump will not end with Robert Miller mike hanna aljazeera washington.

Reports from london. Inside 10 downing street a rousing welcome from a loyal team Prime Minister Boris Johnsons new cabinet dominated by brics it hardliners had the 1st pep talk and as you know we have a momentous task. In our countrys history we are committed. To leaving the European Union. On october 31st one really dont know if theyve got theres far too much noise in this strain but in parliament a very different mood johnson had promised to unite the conservative party but his ruthless decision to sack or sidelined 17 senior ministers may have done the opposite for his enemies on the back benches on many but his 1st statement was one of optimism channeling his hero Winston Churchill painting a picture of a golden future for britain that is why i believe that if weve been darcey news to the toss. There is every chance that in pretty deep deep. Into it i fully intend to be wrong. No not this is here it is just. That we will be able to look back only this period this extraordinary period as the beginning of a new golden age for our you know. With the Opposition Leader dismantled that idea. No one underestimates this country but the country is. But the country is deeply worried that the new Prime Minister overestimates himself. This is the last day parliament will sit before breaking for the summer but the challenges facing the new Prime Minister and mens negotiate a new brics a deal in 98 days a deal the e. U. Says cannot be renegotiated and fix our multitude of problems facing Britain Health Care Education and security all with just a parliamentary george of just 3 many say the country could be heading for a general election you know he did say during the Leadership Campaign that he doesnt want to have a general election before hes delivered breakfast but that doesnt seem to be as much of a hard red line as i would search 1st of october so that might suggest that he will try and course that election relatively soon these are the skills to these this is a Prime Minister with a deadline like no other facing unprecedented opposition hoping his optimism is infectious Charlie Angela aljazeera london well our correspondent Andrew Symonds is outside parliament in westminster and seen quite the performance there from Doris Johnson in the house what kinds of reactions are we seeing now. Many reactions really now all the m. P. s are heading off to their constituencies for the summer recess its very quiet here but they off the show still being felt not only right across the u. K. To what Boris Johnson has had to say since becoming a Prime Minister but also in brussels he is expected to be having a conversation round about now with. The e. U. Commission president what that will actually achieve is probably very little. Spelt out quite clearly that he is intent on either accepting a deal that does not include a Northern Ireland backstop thats an insurance policy that make things safe for britain. Still trade eventually be able to trade freely after the backstop and is now that backstop which gives the irish the right to continue voiding hardboard because it will keep the Customs Union in place that is the key issue he is saying thats got to go and not only has that got to go there has to be no other deal suggesting a timeline for that hes not prepared to accept that so hes making already spelling out a position whereby he says the e. U. If it does not accept has to go that is then blocking an agreement and you have to go for a no deal hes prepared to go for a no deal which could mean a calamity in the Financial Markets wreck the city of london as being a Financial Center of the world and could put the country into recession all of these things have been warned about what were finding now is this summer recess is going on the pressure is going to get higher and higher. To make some concessions and the pressure he says is going to get odd harder for brussels try to come to some solution so what could happen well busy worn former colleague. Of Boris Johnson had this to say. I think that Boris Johnson if he sees that hes going to lose a vote of say no confidence in the house of commons i think he would rather call the election than wait for his government to fall and the election to follow he would rather stay on the front foot so i think the whole of britain ought to be on the alert for an early snap general election called perhaps right at the beginning of september that might happen given away hearing all the speculation already about an early election one of the chances of that actually happening. But the chances of a when you look at the numbers only 3 is charlie was saying in a report only majority of 3 now and thats with the help of the irish do you people see that just as good luck to come down to 2 because of a by election its very imminent also theres a possibility that some conservative m. P. s could defects theres been some defections already so he carbery law on his party cant rely on violent what is Jeremy Corbyn the Opposition Labor Party leader doing about it will the moment hes probably going to wait to see whether or not as he expects there are a budget gaffes by Boris Johnson and that the honeymoon period is over very quickly before he makes a move so as you were hearing there the speculation is targeted at september time at all to election potentially uncertainty because johnson is not going to be surprised by that and hes angling to be quite partisan with this campaigning government this effectively this is a almost a one issue cabinet even though he spent ages outlining in a very blue inform how he will commit to all sorts of projects that have been promised and also ones that have been promised in his 2 hour session with 129 questions but will it be a quiet calm hot summer world is this whats going on right now right across the land in terms of what Boris Johnson means for this country under d.
