Director our studios in moscow this is our Team International im sean thomas certainly glad to have you with us all right exit polls from u. K. General election are predicting the conservative partys biggest victory in 30 years vote count is now underway and if projections are correct Boris Johnson has won a new term as Prime Minister a quick look at the numbers for you there are 650 seats in the house of commons so a party needs 326. 00 to hold a majority and if the exit polls are accurate the conservatives will be clear with about 368. 00 seats now british Prime MinisterBoris Johnson tweeted his reaction to the exit polls posting his picture of him with his supporters and thanking everyone for voting he added we live in the greatest democracy in the world taylor is in london with more on the election. Well this has been billed as the election of a generation and for all those remains who for the past 3 years have been calling for a 2nd referendum a peoples vote is while they essentially got 2201620192 the people voted the people spoke out and the people want out of the view polling stations have closed the vote is underway there are no official results but we do have the exit poll which is a very solid and reliable indication of how things pan out and that exit poll is projecting a landslide victory for the conservative party the only party that positions itself as pro breck sit there on course to win 368 seats out of the 650 in the house of commons between them a whopping 177 seats ahead of the labor party a real wipeout for labor and of course heading it all out its Boris Johnson with his famous do or die breaks it. For Boris Johnson this is also a puss not victory if the projection turns out to be true he took the reins purely by virtue of the fact that hes a mate resigned in july and since then hes been batting of criticism but he has not got the support nor the mandate in order to run the country so this exit poll and this triumph potentially at the polls will be vindication for him and a pardon will soon be a very welcome festive lets be Carbon Neutral as i say by trying to be called a neutral and clearly neutral by christmas now this 6 Week Campaign certainly hasnt been short of and to taint none of the towns that have meant Jeremy Corbin the nature of the labor party read out mean tweets written to him on twitter who can of course forget the Boris Johnson himself stole the phone from a reporter and then very bizarre kid in the fridge the list goes on but levity aside this election was crucial to. The odds of it now with the conservative majority it will be much easier to pass legislation through parliament and so finally the 1st time in 2 years we might see something other than deadlock today and less votes in westminster thats how its looking at the moment still just a projection but one thing i do way it goes one thing is for certain that the british electorate has really been put through the wringer in recent times which is why today i decided to take a look at how we ended up in a situation that popping to the polls has become a british tradition the brits love that tea theyre also pretty partial to a bit scared but it seems theyve also developed a new fondness for the next its thursday saw the 3rd general election in just 4 years so how did we end up on this roller coaster again last well my friends its the usual suspect yeah you guessed it. Works its too late it turns out that decision taken by those 17400000 people in june 26th into the e. U. Set off a Chain Reaction thats led to this moment but im guessing ahead of myself lets start from the beginning the british people have made a very clear decision to take a different plan my view we should aim to have a new Prime Minister in place ok so now were down one Prime Minister lets see how the next one a couple of weeks later to resume a took on the and then doable role of finding a way through the process that wilderness and she was very clear about her goal bricks it means bricks it bricks it wrecks it wrecks it means bricks it and were going to make a success of it the original deadline was set for march 29th teen oh those early days so far optimism but this is possibly the most Divisive Political issue. To the u. K. Has faced in recent memory m. P. s have never felt so important all powerful so its unsurprising that may was thwarted at every turn by those less willing to cut ties with our european friends fed up she decided to go in and call a snap election in june 2017 we need a general election and we need one now i have concluded that the only way to guarantee certainty and stability for the years ahead is to hold this election but it was a gamble that just didnt pay off the conservatives lost the majority they counting on tide already 2. 00 also taught at this point every single. And of this i am absolutely sure you the public have had enough youre tired of the infighting your charge of the political games and the arcane procedural rounds but disappointment in the polls was really the least of mays problems the opposition tried to get rid of her own m. P. s tried to get rid of her and then she said shed get rid of herself if only theyd back that deal which they didnt and it just ended up being too much from a who decided to finally hang up put heels i do so with no ill will but with enormous and enduring gratitude to have had the opportunity to serve the country i love ok so now were down to Prime Ministers whose our lucky introducing Boris Johnson former mayor of london a bit of a daft man just like his predecessor he was absolutely adamant that hed be the one to get it done can you make a promise today to the British Public that you will not go back to brussels and ask for another delay to practice it yet and so you can and reduce. To his credit hes really gone fred he was sick of parliament blocking his ideas so dissolved that for dissolving it so then he went to the e. U. And negotiated a new deal which parliament defeated and then they forced to quest yet and not the extension which he really really really didnt want to do but to do anyway and then he just decided enough is enough so essentially taunted the Opposition Party into facing off at the general election in order to quote get it done which my friends i think brings you up today we heard from International History professor alan scared and politics professor Mark Shanahan they gave us their views on what the election means for brooks. This is more or less a 2nd referendum on brooks certainly has been an overwhelming endorsement of bloggers to get brooks and dunn i think the remainder is still in denial but this election result shows the tribune and some liberal democrats have been crushed and the labor party has also been crushed to the worst result of the poll is right but since 935 so i mean i can see theres any hope for the roumanians given these results i suspect breaks it does have to happen if the conservatives are returned in the kind of numbers that you see there that is a very clear and very workable majority for them we just have a very very tired electric electorate at the moment who pretty much have been bought into submission and have been bought into the slogan of guessing breaks it done rather than going for the grizzled ground and it would seem that the electorate in the u. K. Have gone for the bloke who is a bit of a laugh it may not be quite so much of a laugh once he has to make bricks that happen and we didnt see perhaps some of the Economic Impacts of that. And escalating diplomatic raul has stepped up another level russia has expelled 2 german diplomats it comes in response to a similar move by berlin all amid a spat over a murder probe parties dont quarter picks up the story for us the Russian Foreign minister has given the diplomats and question 7 days to leave the country in a tit for tat response to the German Governments decision when they themselves decided to expel 2 Russian Diplomats the german ambassador has received a note of protest over the grounds decision to explode 2 Russian Diplomats from berlin as a mere response to german diplomats must leave russia within the next 7 days now it was just last week that the German Government made this decision to expel 2 Russian Diplomats for the cut from the country and the official report said. Russia was not being active enough in cooperating with and vesta geisha in 2 with the murder of a Georgian National named still in can congress feeley now the german prosecutors even say that russia moscow may have ordered the murder itself but russia denies these claims and even warned that there would be a mirror response the federal Foreign Office today declared to employees of the Russian Embassy in berlin to be persona nongrata with this step the federal government reacts the fight to the russian authorities despite repeated high level and in fact requests did no sufficiently participate in the investigation of the murder of tony k. K. In berlin zoo knew it was a good people is it correct to expel the 2 Russian Diplomats who had nothing to do with the murder thats put reciprocal measures as you know there are underage rules you expel our diplomats we expel ules thats that. Now president putin has said that russia has asked for the extradition of Congress Really many times which the German Government is now saying never happened but to bring our viewers up to speed to Congress Really was killed back in august and the media immediately blamed russia for this he was living in germany since 2017 and had connections not only had ties to chechen terrorists but also fought against russia in the 2nd chechen war so its not hard to imagine why the russian government would be interested in arresting him on charges of terrorism. The man who was killed in berlin was not your average georgian he was a militant he fought on behalf of separatists from the caucuses he was on russias wanted list he was a very cruel man once he killed 98 people he was one of the organizers of bombings of moscow metro i dont know what happened to him is a criminal since everything can happen there so again moscow has always expressed its willingness to cooperate in this investigation but the initial expulsion of Russian Diplomats on germanys part doesnt exactly mark good faith from berlin you bronson from the alternative for Germany Party shared his views with your art internet easy to divert from your own security failings and from your own police work by blaming somebody else and looking for a scapegoat and i believe this has happened here it was a mistake to jump to conclusions and instantly to blame russia without actually knowing what has actually happened this is not the way Serious Police work should be done 3 years ago we had a radical islamist here took a truck as a weapon and killed 12 people over christmas now these are the real threats we are facing and not a diplomatic spat. Time magazine has unveiled its choice for person of the year a 16 year old climate activist agreed to fund berg arties a donor hawkins that looks into the term berg phenomenon. Last year she was just the regular swedish schoolgirl 12 months on and shes times person of the year rarely does the discussion on Climate Change today take place without her name being mentioned growth of the work has become a global sensation not just a prominent figure among climate activists but almost a messianic symbol she pulls no punches in schooling politicians about what they must do to save the planet the real danger is when politicians and c. E. O. s are making it look like real action is happening when in fact almost nothing is being done apart from clever accounting and creative p. R. She certainly does have a point but what about the greater thornburg phenomenon itself its on the noise quickly and loudly drawn attention to Climate Change shes got people talking and even been credited with influencing european and National Elections but wants more than just talking she wants action from politicians or the critics question what useful action grettir inspired movements have actually taken from strikes and protests which she herself says are unsustainable but we cant go on like this it is not Sustainable Solutions that children skip school we cant go on like that so now we dont want to continue so we would we would love some action from the people in power how species resonated across the world it wasnt long before her fiery indictment of World Leaders at the un Assembly Became a meme now they followed a clear structure grave danger bad government and a need for immediate action she soon became a target for opponents who said her ideas it lacks substance and slated her style but that was quickly knocked on the head criticism was often swiftly silenced with those critiquing her justifiably or no. Not labeled as massage honest hysterical or being triggered the climate hysteria movement is not about science if it were about science it would be led by scientists rather than by politicians and the mentally ill swedish child who is being exploited by her parents and by the international lair you. Markku knows of daily wanna just call gretz a phone beggar mentally ill swedish child she is mad and dangerous and shes causing the Young Children sleepless noise to move to the juicy gossip shes a she needs to go to school and show that i was fascinated by this school girl starting this strike for Climate Change awareness and i thought wow thats pretty gutsy it was all a little melodramatic it was all in the world of pocalypse i dont want millions if not believes of young people watching great to do that kind of speech and genuinely think the planet is literally about the way she is daring to express what so many young people are feeling and actually i find it remarkable that she can speak in such an honest way its truth to power fearlessly speaking some of her actions ridiculed like her transatlantic boat trip having sailed through storms to avoid Carbon Emissions from air travel she sailed into a storm of criticism when a fellow companions jointer flying in by plane not to mention the impracticality of adopting such measures on a wider scale this brings us back to growth as words about politicians creative p. R. World leaders from merkel to micron among others were happy to humor the latest global trend with a photo opportunity while rebuking some of our ideas so what does this leave the person of the year at 2019 which is certainly sent a message taken center stage and brought people into the streets with a call it is now time for civil. Disobedience its time to rebel but will this have the desired effect the only thing you want to see is real action and reaction has been not been happening so of course we have to see. A lot but. But if you look at its far. Far from a certain point of view we have achieved nothing like her all over she has created a stir it may be difficult to understand the method behind a person of the year awards one of good as runner ups was donald trump maybe we can agree to hope that this years award isnt just symbolic isnt Just Creative p. R. But will lead to the real change the grettir seeks to create. You tube is getting it tougher on users who insult each other on the basis of race gender or Sexual Orientation after unveiling new anti harassment rules our policies will not only prevent explicit but also revealed or implied threats we will no longer allow content that maliciously insult someone based on protected attributes such as their race gender expression or Sexual Orientation in florizel became massive was you tube was having brief and drama the line between criticism and horace mint is now so blurred nobody knows where they stand veiled or implied threats vague language this highly subjective that allows them to effectively silence anything regardless of content predictable you tube is not allowed to censor people like a public organizations who are also claiming the special Legal Protections given to platforms you can have it both ways earlier media commentator gina loudon told us there is a lack of understanding between Internet Users and a video platform standards. I think the fact that these socalled rules are so very loosely defined therein lies the problem because when you dont have well defined rules what you end up with is subjectivity and thats always been the problem with you to entire groups of people have been deemed monetise ive had this happen on my own you tube channel where my videos have been taken down because something didnt meet their Community Standards and a lot of times i cant even tell what it is i didnt think anything was offensive it may be past the Major Network test in the United States but it doesnt pass the you tube test so it really makes you kind of wonder you either have free speech or you dont and if you have free speech then that should be exactly that free and it should be broadly applied and just because something offends me doesnt mean that you should not have the right to say it in fact perhaps its more important that you do have the right to say it as long as perhaps or not inciting violence which i think is where we would all like to draw that line some believe that the reason behind this is politically motivated and the problem is that when you dont have well defined rules that make sense to everybody regardless of Political Party youre going to have people feeling like this was subjectively applied. Donald trump has signed an executive order with the goal of combating antisemitism on College Campuses the order threatens to withhold federal funding to colleges and universities if they fail to take action against of the problem so we will not permit jewish bigotry or in our College Campuses if they want to do that its going to be extremely costly itll be amazing how quickly they stop. The executive order expands of the 964. 00 Civil Rights Act to specifically prohibit discrimination against jews the act already outlaws Racial Discrimination in programs that receive federal funds President Trump also condemned a Global Movement boycotting goods from the territories occupied by israel. My administration also forcefully condemns the socalled boycott divestment and sanctions movement the b d s. My administration will not stand for these malicious attacks upon the state of israel discrimination against members of jewish faith and the jewish faith it has to be confronted at every turn and we will confront it at every turn this is a dangerous attack on our 1st amendment right to free speech and its an attack on students it will serve to silence dialogue. Its real and it will serve you well. Let me move one of the reasons hes doing this he does congress he rightly has been unable. Bertie to write e. S. Legislation was that. I really meant especially on all its. This executive order really has nothing to do with it its about. Shutting down. A list you need right now theyre. Right it means that its going to be much harder for advocates or tell us any rights to organize on campuses what happens is that a school could now be designated as not. Germany and slammed a washington sanctions threat over the massive nord stream to natural gas pipeline with foreign minister heiko mosse insisting the e. U. Rejects all meddling. European Energy Policy is decided in europe not in the u. S. We crucially reject external interference and sanctions with extra territorial effect nordstrom to is a gas pipeline running from russia to europe through the baltic sea covers more than a 1000 kilometers and means moscow doesnt have to transit gas to the e. U. Through ukraine however washington is not a fan claiming it leaves europe to energy dependent on russia the communist hammer believes the e. U. Has had to push back against washingtons attempts to dominate. The problem with north korea too right lying is that germany who have gas for europe could get to Energy Independence on blackmail from poland and the ukraine or other american puppets and i think this is the main problem and so for un security measures the e. U. Test of pushback against the sanctions and they have to make clear that companies in europe have a little bit of safety when they do projects which you are absolutely with and within the law the u. S. Is just declaring sanctions on your business so it would be far too im secure for europe to rely on u. S. Energy supply so the only single benefit for them for them to do what they are searching for and russia or is here doing opening markets which are very favorable for both europe and russia. Of course doesnt want to see that. Well nordstrom too is not the only stumbling block between germany and the u. S. At present a major german telecoms provider has chosen the chinese tech giant while way to build its 5 g. Network in the country calling the company a Strategic Partner telefonica is set to launch a 5 g. Wireless network in germany next year covering 30 cities and by 2022 germany is one of the few countries opening its doors to while away along with spain and portugal washington is strongly opposed to the reach of the tech giant claiming it poses a huge Security Risk huawei is. A company we may not do business with at all because it is a natural Security Threat the United States has also been very clear with our Security Partners on the threat posed by one way the Chinese Government can rightfully demand access to data flowing through one way and these systems. Why would anyone grant such power to regime that has already grossly violated cyberspace weve got changed while away without allowing for our way into our country why not change on that we can do business for not security things with huawei. Economist. Again thinks the e. U. Is cornered and the us is only looking out for its own interests in sliming weiwei well i dont think that europe is looking for its own interests because in the past as shown that they are not even able to look out of their only interest in this case they are at the edge of where they have they are in the corner they cant do any way so of course the us is looking for their own benefits and i wish that europe would start to look for their own benefit but in this case it is just this embarrassment of totally broken down economics policy of economics which we can see now in euro it is only. An economy or politics of the committee to cite and nothing else and this in this case it shows it again and the desire for me this ill be back with headlines at the top of next hour.
