The u.s. Senate has unanimously passed a resolution that recognizes as genocide the mass killings of Armenians by autumn and Turkish troops a century ago one of the half 1000000 Armenians were killed in the latter stages of the ultimate empire the Democratic Party senator from New York Bob Menendez welcomes the decision this is the 1st genocide to be recorded in the century we know all too well the horrors that would be repeated later in the 20th century with the Holocaust and other genocides around the world so here in the Senate today we break those patterns Turkey advance that Armenians were killed but says it was not a systematic campaign the Turkish presidential spokesman strongly condemned the resolution.

Nice. It's news day from the b.b.c. World Service with more of our election 21000 special a very warm welcome let's get breakfast done the British prime minister has just said because it was just before 8 in the morning that he addressed his faithful after one heck of a night for Boris Johnson It certainly was it was a bit like a pantomime one of the call and response that he had with his party faithful they all shouting out we got breaks it down and that slogan has won over the people he scored an overwhelming majority they passed the winning post $326.00 seats easily and the prime minister said it would give him a mandate to take the u.k. Out of the European Union next month he's been talking to his supporters in the last hour as the nation hands us this historic mandate we must rise to the challenge and to the level of expectations and Parliament must change so that we in parliament are working for you the British people and that is what we were now do isn't it that is what I do let's let's go let's go out and get on with this you know I discard the 3rd spread opportunity to every corner of the u.k. Was to public education supporting infrastructure and technology let's get bricks it done but 1st my friends let's get breakfast on time. So he's talking in the conservatives made some incredible gains in the heartlands of the opposition Labor Party winning seats across the north of England and Wales for the 1st time in decades most of the areas mostly in areas which had voted leave in the e.u. Referendum of 2060 Labor's leader Jeremy called and said to be in a very disappointing night and that he would not fight a future election and the Scottish National Party have won nearly all the seats in Scotland and say that they're now ready to request a 2nd independence referendum Well joining us throughout this hour I'm delighted to say is Tim Bell professor of politics at Queen Mary University of London welcome to the new. So studio Hello there I know you've come in from the cold because you've been outside Westminster the lights yeah absolutely in the mud that is college degree you've just kicked off your wellies have indeed Yeah I was wise enough to prepare for this scout I've lots of left them outside the studio door let's talk of the let's start with Boris Johnson's acceptance speech he acknowledged then that people may have lent their votes to the Conservative Party there was a certain amount of humility in that speech saying thank you very much and I won't let you down but this seems to be what is going on here yes absolutely I mean Boris Johnson does face a choice now in some ways he can carry on as in the way that the Conservative Party is to some extent always carried on made speeches on the steps of Downing Street or perhaps e.c. H.q. About you know helping the just managing tackling burning injustices investing in our n.h.s. Etc and then not doing very much of any of them or he can make a real commitment to actually trying to solve some of the problems that have been if you like on the backburner because on Bret's it which way he turns I think will be absolutely crucial to the future of the Conservative Party Yeah and you think that will make a difference because he was saying it I won't let you down I know you come to me and you may go back to Labor next time he even said that in his speech how significant is it and the labor heartlands that have held a labor m.p. For decades some back to the 19 fifties and now all blue and now Tory for the 1st time well I think it's very important to realise that actually this has been decades in the making labor has been losing working class support since the early to thousands to be honest Bracks it is in some ways the straw that broke the camel's back in other words it cause I think a lot of people who have been voting Labor after some kind of tribal loyalty some sort of legacy if you like finally to make the switch to a party that better reflects their cultural attitudes in those. Latitudes are deeply conservative with a small c They are very hostile to immigration they worry about changes in society they are very strong on more in order they believe in traditional education rather than progressive educational methods all things which the Labor Party to be honest especially on Jeremy Corbyn has clearly moved away from Labor is now the party of university graduates if you like yeah and it's interesting because we had Jim Murphy on t.v. Actually just before we came on air from Scottish Labor he said exactly that he said that the Labor Party have an out date this Labor Party and Jeremy Corbyn has an outdated sense of what people want they're very patronize ing their whole manifesto was we can give people things for free it's going to be more doctors more nurses that are nationalized stuff and he said people don't buy it they realise that everything comes at a cost so they're not they're not respecting the intelligence of their electorate that's what he was saying Well I think he has a point there and one could also say that of Labor's Bracks in policy which was quite frankly incredible it wasn't I think credible for a labor leaders to say that he would negotiate a deal with Brussels and then or that he come down on the site and support that deal in any 2nd referendum I think Jeremy Coleman's position there was confused and I think you're right the give away a day manifest was simply an insult to the intelligence of voters now of course one can criticize the Conservative Party manifesto for all sorts of things but what it was very careful not to do was to provide to many hostages to fortune yes so on they both entropy waters in a sense as he just said so here we go Boris Johnson has a big majority cultural majority but you know if this was about Bret's if this was . A general election masquerading as a 2nd referendum we can say we've done that now they are Tory party in government all those other things that he promised about investing in the n.h.s. Giving us more nurses giving us more hospitals giving us more teachers the people who may have been. A foot in both camps surely he will have to deliver on that and as far as the Labor Party they've got a major reinvention have a lay on their hands yeah I think you're right we have talked a lot about cultural values you know since the record election but it's also true that people take a great deal of its notice about delivery. Elections are increasingly if you like consumerist affairs people look at what they're being offered they vote on that and if that's not delivered by the next election they may well change their vote so I agree with you completely Boris Johnson does actually have to deliver all this as for the Labor Party of course is not in a position now to deliver anything other than a new leader and I think it has to be very very careful if it allows and it is very difficult not to do this it's membership which is very left wing very socially liberal to choose someone in Jeremy Corbin's image because if it does that it will move itself perhaps even further away from the electorate that it needs to get back it's fine to have all these university graduates that's great but it needs a kind of cross class coalition of the kind that New Labor built back in the 1990 s. I think decide to come and talk to you. Leave your phone number with us the president is Balfe professor of politics like remember University of London more from Tim throughout the program what's left of the program it's been a mentors hours of broadcasting through the night for the b.b.c. Teams we're lucky enough to come in and pick up the best bits at the end including the prime minister himself Boris Johnson and his jokes and his rumpled hair off on his way to breakfast we brought his speech to you live about 40 minutes ago let's hear from another Tory m.p. In a good position John Whittingdale he's been a true bricks it believer for ages so we rang about not long ago and he said I said Where are you said Archie I'm standing by a table with a very large pile of votes for me that's a very good position for a politician to find himself in so I asked him what accounts for this great performance the single biggest is here in this election. Being breaks it and it is clear that the reason the conserves is made a lot of gains is that those areas of England particularly the things it's a leaf which of always in the past they should Labor a number of those constituencies for the 1st time in generations elected conservative members of parliament and that's interesting I just asked why because of course this was the policy last time this was what the reason may tried to do how was Boris Johnson managed to carry it off I think that was about Teresa Mayes commitment and of course we also have the u.k. Independence Party starting at the time but it wasn't just about bricks we had a very left wing opposition and a lot of people didn't feel that they could support Jeremy cope and Labor Party and I think the Boris Johnson's agenda does the or crux the country and know we have a majority which will allow us not just to achieve breaks but also to deliver all the other parts of the program which we've been prevented from address because the last 2 and a half years Calment has been completely paralyzed by the brakes of this appeal across the country not of course in Scotland are you not concerned as a unionist for the state of the Union with the s.n.p. Doing as well as they can Nicholas sturgeon just telling the b.b.c. She's going to press for a 2nd referendum with a huge mandate Well I am concerned obviously but the fact that the s.n.p. Have on this many seats they have me obviously they may want to press for a 2nd referendum but they are the United Kingdom as decided by the people of Scotland not long ago in a referendum and I don't see the u.k. Parliament is likely to agree to another referendum in the near future but you can't just ignore I mean you're talking to a nice chap from the b.b.c. Not an angry Scotsman How would you have the conversation with an angry Scotsman or Scots woman who says this is absolutely overwhelmingly a mandate for at the very least a 2nd referendum regardless of whether it goes their way or not don't they have the right to choose as well well they did I mean. Just when I want to see people have been arguing that there should be a 2nd break that referendum because they didn't like the result of the 1st the s.n.p. Are arguing that there should be a Scottish referendum a 2nd one because they don't like the fact that one which is only just a few years ago the Scottish people vote their majority that they wish to stay within the u.k. Now that have liked a large number of s.n.p. But that doesn't necessarily mean that they want independence what do you think about the policies going forward you've now got a lot of Tory M.P.'s for to put it bluntly Labor seats is this going to be a One Nation Tory government or is it going to be a Brics it Tory government well it's going to be the priority is to achieve Are you happy with the timetable the timetable that you know 11 months this is the thing that's being thrown at all breaks it is 11 months is it possible to get it done in time as Boris Johnson said it is yes I believe it is it's a tight timetable but we start off with a position where we're already aligned with Europe on an every area and I hope that it can be achieved in that time I think that we will be leaving the European Union by the end of I think January because the withdrawal agreement is already in place it just requires parliament to wrestle follow it with a majority of this size I think Parliament will do so very quickly and the basis for the leaving what happens if in 11 months isn't done in time we've seen the log jam in the problems in the past few months indeed in the past few years politically but isn't there a danger that we might have a no deal after all in 11 months time that's what many people are concerned about would you support on a long well I mean I don't want the transitional period which is what we will move into we leave to dry gaunt because it actually puts us in a very poor position that we are obliged to continue with all the obligations of membership without having any say so I do want the transitional period to be relatively short and I think the fact that the dates it's been set for the end of it who. We'll concentrate and help ensure that we do get a deal about and I will go back to him when that does or doesn't happen that was John Whittingdale now duly elected when he was speaking to us there I'm sure some electoral dollars has have to be perfectly terrible as he wasn't actually yet the m.p. For mold and he is now he had a big part of votes that he had a very big part of it says that he was fingering. Now other stuff has been going on in the world not least sports his mathy. Last year on Bersih munching club back the highest profile teams to drop out to the Europa League after the final round of group games last night back are the bumps legally does of course conceded the crucial goal to lose $21.00 to Istanbul bus actually in the 91st minute of their game last year who were 3rd in Santiago last to know to ren and also out pretty satisfy not for Manchester United boss only going to so show his young players still top spot in their pool with 4 goals in 11 minutes to beat a 3rd win in a row for united now in the Arsenal showed a bit of fight as well coming back from 2 no down against down to 3 to 11 they to top they a pool only English teams will respond as teams making it through into Monday Straw also today deadline day for bids to be submitted to Fifa to host the Women's World Cup in 2023 Australia and New Zealand have launched a joint bid which they say is the 1st ever cross Confederation bid for a global football tournament Matthew Kenyon with the sport Thank you. It's nice day for the b.b.c. World Service coming to you live from London with all of the fallout news and analysis from the u.k. Election in which the ruling Conservative Party sure was up that meant well they got a majority they didn't have one before they got a massive majority let's get the view of what's how this is going down with business now sees being Chang is in the city of London this morning Suze tell us more. Yes good morning Clare it's fairly calm here at the moment I'm sad on the corner from a bunch of share trade is because the markets are open and I'm sitting here in front of another big screen with Louise Dudley who's a global equities manager here how European markets were just open how if they opened so what we saw initially was actually for 300 down but that has rebounded quite strongly and now both the u.k. Surface the 100 on the 50 to 50 the small cap index both outperforming and the pound has a pound on also very strong lots of trading overnight and we've seen a big boost for the arms as well breaks its. Certainties not the only reason that global markets today is a no so last night we had trouble tweeting about the big deal this imminent he's very focused on the deadline on December 15th I think he was in China to meet a trade do yes exactly and hoping that she some of these tires won't come in and that they'll come to some agreement and that's really boosted markets globally is a certain sea cools by a clear majority for the Conservative Party likely to cause a bounce a break out for the economy to a certain extent because the uncertainty has now gone away there is a little bit more stability consignor t. From the previous government kind of coming through so for some of these companies that had been worried about particularly some of the kind of new potential reform ideas from labor that there is a relief there and certainly companies will be looking to ensure that they're well positioned for all drugs there and now there is uncertainty around that issue of servility studly homeys Investment Management thank you very much Suze Thank you Suze joining us live from the city all morning here on News Day 22 minutes past the hour we've been hearing from. Everyone today been hearing from Boris Johnson who took to the lectern not only we've had analysis from Scotland from the north of England from London from labor from. Let's go to Europe now because European reaction is very important this is being interpreted Of course as a Brics it election Sophie and felt is Dutch m.e.p. a Deputy to the European Parliament's chief breaks it negotiate give a hotshot very well Malcolm 1st off before I ask direct responses to a couple of things that we've heard on the program what's your quick response immediately to this one of relief. No no I'm sad actually because now seems definitive we're losing our British friends but of course this is this is now the outcome of the vote we'll have to deal with it and for Europe it's very important that we now move on we pull together and we make the European Union stronger and I'm really sad to say goodbye to our British friends so that was in effect the 2nd referendum in your opinion. Well I mean it was pretty much dominate is the election campaign now of course Boris Johnson has secured a very strong with George. In the House of Commons but with my let's say my call to mental glass if you if you look at the actual Because we have a very different election system and if you look at the percentages of you know people who voted he will be governing over a country that looks very different from the makeup of the house and that's something that he will have to you know he will have to be the prime minister of everybody. And not just the 43 percent who vote to train or who want to do. About the peculiarities of the British system that he made we were trying to work out you know if this was a referendum what would it be actually if you do treat is a referendum he wouldn't have a majority of course he does have something to join I know it's early hours we've been hearing a few comments on the programs just reason I wanted to put a couple to you 1st off and you know it may be unfair to nail down conservative politicians now to what they believe you're hearing a bit of fudge good mood all that sort of thing that's saying no problem fixing that trade deal in 11 months do you think that that is possible what kind of deal but look like. Ok we'll see if it's possible I mean it's too early to tell the ghost negotiations will have to start I think European site everybody is of course. Always committed to conducting the negotiations as quickly as possible. But your priority would be not to not to damage European interests that's the priority rather than the speed isn't it yes yes exactly so we you know the type pressure is moral the u.k. Site I think. That should not be the only issue the European Union will be negotiating exclusively in the interests of the citizens of the European Union I mean that seems only natural just as the u.k. Will do to say. What you say about speed is potentially very important I think because the faster the Brits want a deal the more it plays into Europe's hand are supposed to Isnt it. Well we'll see it look it's not as if the European Union would be interested in negotiations that are dragging out over years and years at the same time we have to recognize that the trade negotiations we had with Canada which is a country which is probably closer to the European Union even and some e.u. Member states I mean even with that country it took us 7 years to negotiate a trade deal so I think you know we should have realistic expectations no thank you very much indeed for joining us once again Dutch m.e.p. So if you can vote as they look at how the Scottish election results reveal what they reveal about the mood of the electorate north of the border we can speak to Dr Allan Convery from the University of Edinburgh welcome to News Day a good morning we were just hearing on the program from Ivan McKee vs m.p. Shadow minister for trade who say well this is a mandate for another independence referendum on Scotland would you agree with that so I think that's certainly how the Scottish National Party would like to see I think more significant in terms of our date will be the 2021 Scottish Parliament elections so so far the u.k. Government has said this is not a mandate to hold independence referendum but I think that we're much more difficult lighting for the u.k. Government to hold if the s.n.p. Were to go into the 2021 Scottish Parliament elections with a clear about a festive commitment to hold all the referendum point that is the way off though isn't it because Nicholas said in the lead a Scottish National Party because they did rather well they won 47 of Scotland's 59 Westminster sees That's 11 more than the last election 2 years ago she said Right this now gives us the power to do that I'm going to be going to London to ask for the 2nd referendum that they are not not going to wait until a couple of years time of life or for their own elections that's right and it's an excellent result for the Scottish National Party also m. Boris Johnson's Conservative Party during 7 seats in Scotland as well and I think that sets up for further tension between the u.k. Government the Scottish government particularly as Boris Johnson goes towards implementing brakes which is lots of implications for Scotland and the Scottish National Party will argue well this is a part that you keep it for to remain amateurs which. It's a question national party and therefore they're going to take actions they had about implementing breaks that will compare stillness and do that apart from just say no I mean I mean clearly she's got a lot of leverage now because their vote is down is gone and her vote is up she has a lot of sway he can just not listen to me I think if you're a concession you're a problem if you are u.k. Government was a parliament she majority there's a lot you can do and you can there's a lot you can push through though I think Boris Johnson remindful as well not wanting to be a prime minister that further inflame tensions are differences between Scott and England so I think it really depends of what type of approach he takes that he take a conciliatory approach to try to bring the Scottish National Party government Scotland more into the brakes process talk to consult them more and that's a difficult task ahead for them I think let's not forget of course Scotland voted to remain inside the e.u. Now you have this indorsement of the Nationalist Party as well if you're living in Scotland You must they will vote clear message and we send this is this is the future we want for our party how will talks with the e.u. Help them g think. Talks with the e.u. Between the u.k. Government what I mean if Scotland want to get involved in a because we know Nicholas says it has been Dr Fauci you close a lot just briefly on that one that's right under the u.k. Government at the s.n.p. Government argues hasn't called Scotland at all for a good Wales enough of those negotiations and so going forward it's really up to course also whether he starts to involve them or tries to bring them into the process to try to use some of these divisions does look quite stark this morning divide it doesn't Alan Convery from the University of Edinburgh thank you for joining us this needs a line from London b.b.c.

Straight at the World dot com. 2 no welcome news day from the b.b.c. World Service with. Lawrence we are starting to worry about the momentous result here in the u.k. Of election Boris Johnson and the conservatives winning the party's biggest victory for more than 30 years if I get reaction from the u.s. What it means for future trade relations and money can close to Gregg's when Greece was negotiating with the e.u. Gives us his reaction 1st. B.b.c. News with Chris Bury the British prime minister Boris Johnson has hailed his conservative party's landslide election victory as irrefutable irresistible and unarguable proof of the British people's decision to get brakes it done with just 2 seats left to be declared the party was headed for a majority of nearly 80 seats we politicians and squandered the last 3 years 3 and a half years in squabbles about basically arguing about arguing tool that mums and we will get. All the time by the 31st of January no ifs no buts and maybes delivering on the democratic mandate of the people Mr Johnson said he was humbled by the support from voters who'd never banked his party before saying he'd repay their trust with investment in the National Health Service schools and extra police the opposition Labor Party last swathes of its traditional heartland and has suffered its worst performance since before the 2nd World War the pro independence Scottish National Party has made significant gains winning 48 of the country's 59 seats in the u.k. Parliament the leader of the party Scotland's 1st Minister Nicolas Sturgeon said the vote represented a renewed mandate for another independence referendum. President Trump has welcomed Boris Johnson's victory in a tweet he said Britain and the United States would now be free to strike what he called a massive new trade deal after breaks it. In other news stock markets have rallied on reports that President Trump has approved a trade deal in principle with China Wall Street swords to a record high and Asian markets are followed the New Zealand military has at least had 6 bodies from White Island after Monday's volcanic eruption there the police commissioner said the operation went to plan but it's not over yet to dive teams will be deployed on Saturday to search for a body believed to be in the waters off the volcanic island. The b c news. And many thanks indeed for the latest this is extended news on election 2019 it's new state with Lawrence and Claire we got the sports coming up as well also got to Yanis Varoufakis a man who nearly delivered Grex it was nearly hit with Grex it talking about relations between Britain and the e.u. And also the future of the left this is all because of the apparently irrefutable irresistible an unarguable proof of the British people's decision to get bricks it done that's what Prime Minister Boris Johnson said You may have heard him using that phrase a little earlier on this program there's only 2 seats left to be declared in the party is headed for a thumping majority of nearly 80 seats the biggest in decades for the conservatives joining us in the studio let's get a quick recap with Tim Bale politics of a professor of politics at Queen Mary University of London who is with us for the rest of the program and tim 1st off can I just ask what now for Boris Johnson a man who a year ago was kind of out of a job he was a back bencher young done particularly well as foreign secretary he was a bit marginalized and yet here he is is he a political genius or is he surfing events Well I think you would have to say that his decision to quit the cabinet and run for leader which I think was always intention when he quit the cabinet was an absolutely Purba idea he has managed to cannibalize the Bracks party's vote completely remember the Conservative Party only schooled on the 10 percent in European Parliament elections in June. That strategy has paid off handsomely he now has a majority of $78.00 and will almost certainly I think repeal the fixed term Parliament Act so we won't necessarily see an election in 5 years time we'll see an election in around 4 years' time when it's right for the Conservative party to go back to the electorate it's going to be very very difficult for the Labor Party to pull this round after a single term. If Boris Johnson wants it he could well be prime minister for the next 10 years while have we seen a redesign of British political culture I'll tell you why I'm asking that I mean there was this amazing example Bowl so of a former mining community represented since 1970 by one of the highest profile hard left also euro skeptic you to kind of thought surely his people are going to vote for him Dennis Skinner lost his seat which is utterly incredible because there's a lever in a leaf constituency but they end up voting conservative so conservative in labor don't mean what they did any more no they don't I mean labor used to be the party of the industrial working class but we no longer really have a particular industrial economy we have a post industrial economy an economy based around services and a lot of people in those form industrial areas a feeling stranded they're feeling left behind they're feeling like this current economy has nothing left for them and they're also feeling sore about levels of cultural change that they see but you see we've been hearing comments from for example the chair of the Labor Party who says actually Well in effect he was telling clear what people want is they want more socialism more socialism a better leader and we will win next time why is it that distressed former industrial communities who should be Labor catnip absolute heartland just aren't anymore what's going on well Labor's been losing the working class really now for 2 or 3 decades and it's been losing them in part because it sends out a message that it's not really that interested in them anymore and they believed I think they had nowhere else to go and yes I'm looking for a man from an incredibly privileged background from the most privileged school and university and background imaginable Boris Johnson older Tony and is now presenting himself as the friend of the working class Yes because he's appealing to them not necessarily according to their economic interests to be honest but to their cultural proclivities which you know very much anti immigration prone or new order those kinds of tough. Policies which Boris Johnson majored on during this election and which Jeremy Corbyn quite frankly could not compete with because voters especially those Labor voters saw him as unpractical take they saw him as indecisive they saw him as weak they storm as incompetent and they even saw him as a friend of terrorism and you simply cannot hope to win a general election whatever party you come from if you field a leader like that how dispersed Johnson managed this new coalition of interest is interesting because the big parties the Labor Party and the Conservative Party were always coalitions we never had smaller parties we had 2 big parties that were coalitions that sorted out what they stood for and then they stood for election now there seems to be a new business of a new definition of what the Conservative Party might be and also what it's like to be a conservative prime minister so which way does he go what are his choices Well I mean you're absolutely right that he has to hold together this new electoral current coalition that he has created and that could pose some problems because these people have voted for him not because they want Britain to turn into some kind of neo liberal paradise with low spending easy hire and fire low regulation which is exactly the kind of model that many Conservative M.P.'s actually promote So there is a tension there to be honest I'm not sure we can simply get away with throwing them a bit of red meat on immigration and nor in order if he doesn't also deliver to them on some of the promises he's made about public services but one of the problems he's going to have a let's not beat about the bush on this Breck's it is going to harm the economy not in any sort of disastrous way necessarily but there will be growth gone and that means less tax revenue for the country and that means less to spend on these public services that Boris Johnson professes anyway to care so much about so he's got a problem but he would say well it's a nice problem to have to many thanks indeed Jim Bell professor of politics at Queen Mary University of London and you're saying Lawrence another one of the shocking statistics to come out of last night is the constituency of Kensington in London. Many people around the world know just from just down the road from us just down the road from us and the Grenfell Taua tragedy happened in that constituency there was a labor m.p. Who had a majority in a recount of just 20 votes everyone saying Well clearly that kind of constituency with that kind of issue that's going on in the center of it should be able to hold on to a labor m.p. They have and it's gone conservative and why because at the Labor the Liberal Democrat candidate came in and everyone's saying this should have been deals between those parties opposition parties there wasn't a deal done in that constituency for one and one candidate to stand down and now in that constituency of all constituencies they have a conservative member and they voted 70 percent to remain in the e.u. And they now have a conservative BRICs it m.p. It's surprising just one of the many surprising votes this morning let's take a look at how and what this result could be for u.k. U.s. Relations in the past couple of hours President Trump has tweeted that Britain and the United States would now be free to strike what he called a massive new trade deal after practice it Stephenville one of them a top trade advisor to President Trump now upon that King and Spalding that's an American international corporate law firm what he thinks the u.s. Will actually do you know obviously Americans a lot of Americans get great interest in u.k. Politics and I think there is real interest on both sides of the aisle here both Republicans the Democrats I think are very eager to work with the u.k. . A free trade agreement with the u.k. And I think people are going to be be a very excited about the prospects of moving forward on the many United States you find a lot of trade deals down through the years and I think almost everybody who's ever done a trade deal with United States has been quite pleased with it but what I think a lot of people may not appreciate is Bill u.k. It would be the largest economy to us there never done a trade deal so. It would be a very exciting opportunity for us to sit down with a very large market one that u.s. Companies and businesses are very eager to work with and really create some new rules that hopefully would encourage trade on both sides of the Atlantic What do you think the quid pro quo will be either because clearly both sides the u.k. And the u.s. Want access to one another as markets what do you had about the trying to ministration what they call that is only exactly like you take for example one thing that the United States traditionally it's looking for in its trade agreements we want strong protection of intellectual property but yet something that's important to us we normally walk on strong with respect to digital trade because that's something that's important and a lot of times when we work with other countries they're not interested in those issues as we are in the u.k. You have a great digital economy you have you have a great tradition of intellectual property of your own that should be areas where we can create a real high standard rule that will benefit both sides so those are the type of things that I think Americans are really excited about and I think they're also just excited about working with a country that is a strong economy and also has you know I want to type of approach to economic matters that we do so I think it should be a real great opportunity on both. Even though Nestle the top trade advisor to President Trump can I just bring in a little detail from the team of b.b.c. Monitoring who have spotted a mistranslation in Russia's n.t.v. Nothing sinister not Russian interference just a mistranslation apparently breaks it down as being translated as we'll put an end to break seats which is exactly the opposite I suppose if you look at it that way thank you to the tele shift of the Russian team of b.b.c. Monitoring Let's pick up this business about American echoes I suppose because as part of our coverage was delighted to say that. Antony Zircher who's normally one of our people our best people in d.c. In the u.s. Has been traveling bits of Britain looking at this election certain high profile tweeter Donald Trump has said Congratulations to Boris Johnson and his great capital letters when looking forward to striking a massive new trade deal after capital letters bricks it celebrate Boris Antony of being many many people less well informed than you and less on the ground who drawn parallels between the rise of Trump and the rise of Johnson do you see any parallels in redrawing of electoral loyalties that kind of thing. Yeah just simply from the fact that brags it leave past. 2016 shortly before Donald Trump one and both were considered to be pretty. I pop in results ever since that I think Americans have looked towards the u.k. And u.k. Politics to props for Shadow what's going on in their own domestic politics and I've got to say I travelled around as you mentioned the u.k. Earlier this week to places that were traditionally Labor constituencies and a lot of what I heard from voters they are about 15 allegiances reminded me of what happened in 2016 in the us particularly in these kind of post industrial heartland areas I was in Wrexham in Wales which was a constituency that had gone for Labor since 1935 well last night it flipped to the Tories and when I was talking to voters there they told me a lot of them told me that they were going to vote Tory for the very 1st time and a lot of it had to do with rags it in general and the idea that the Tories were in the right place for them on issues like immigration and trade and that was the same sort of thing that gave Donald Trump a lot of power in places like Michigan and Wisconsin and Pennsylvania that's interesting so drawing a parallel kind of between Youngstown and Wrexham. Yeah exactly and you know it's it's fascinating to watch this shift in electoral map to take place kind of in real time and it shows that there is traction that can be had by this economic populism of this conservative economic populism that I think brags that represents and Donald Trump represents their different things obviously the brig's of it was a was an idea principle not a person but in the in the same way both of them were sending a message to the political establishment and I think what a lot of Americans are looking at this election was a question. You know whether that shift could be durable whether it was just a one time kind of event or if it had legs that would stretch out beyond that protest vote and I think they're going to be a lot of people in the u.s. Particularly the Democratic Party who look at this with concern they King Well yes this is this is very real and this could be a long lasting and they're going to take out different messages from it I think but a variety of messages but it's pretty clear that this is important to Americans simply because they look at it and think it's important that's interesting hadn't thought about the parallel with the questions for the left as well left of center and to me Always a pleasure and Tunisia usually of Washington d.c. But currently the u.k. You say for the b.b.c. World Service top story today Boris Johnson's Conservative Party has won its biggest parliamentary majority in more than 30 is delivering a severe blow to the opposition will hit from a member of the Labor position shortly but let's get the sports headlines now his mathy. I pledge persimmon tree drop back in last year the 2 highest profile teams to final to make it through to the knockout stages of the Europa League off to last night's final group games but if Germany and Italy didn't get all the talk teams through all of those from Spain and England did to make it a moral boosting win for Manchester United for nearly as I don't undermine all burst and come back for drawing to all that standard after being to kneel down to the delight of their stand in false Freddie Ljungberg really proud of them that's why I said to them off to the game like that's a tough place a comma between them down like you said tremendous fans in my opinion great atmosphere and they showed that belief in college they can play football and they own quality. Shows good for us in the future and of course they need experiences and need to play. Harps and fight and belief amazing to see from the side and maybe I should mention but then they do it with they go and they go and to go they don't. All the details of all the action on the b.b.c. Sport website elsewhere Australia and New Zealand have confirmed a joint bid to host the Women's World Cup in 2023 today is the deadline for countries to put in their detailed bids to fade for we're likely to get ones from Brazil Colombia Argentina Japan and maybe even a joint Korean bid as well confirm that for you a bit later on Australia New Zealand say they are the 1st ever cross Confederation bit Australia of course playing Asian football now whilst New Zealand are still in Oceania So why a joint bid instead of going it alone Mark fall there is the acting head of Australia's Football Federation. The potential. Impacts of this. Not just across Asia but also across the Pacific recently. Expanded the size of the competition. And that. Places a strain on infrastructure and we felt that we would be able to present a stronger. Good and ultimately a better.

Cameron said they're going to try and push the i.o.c. To sign ups have to be rich I'd love to. Have you Ok my bicycle means we can have that conversation 11 and it's time because we got very serious business to talk about and we've been hearing about the redrawing of the British political landscape from. Studio guest Tim Bale here let's speak to someone who was behind the economic policy designed to appeal to Labor voters and that's James Mead way who joins us now economist former advisor to the Labor Party shadow chancellor John McDonald James thank you very much indeed for talking to us you must be not good so a very simple 1st question 1st off how do you respond What's the lesson for labor from this defeat. A couple of things and they say it's clear they say. Defeats and there's no use pretending anything else a couple of lessons that war is. A vote Labor got. Bigger than what Tony Blair received in 2005 it was below what we had 27 otherwise. You know to go how well it held up all over the place the issue I think and policy which I'm sure that what we say don't economics was popular or rejected by people clearly if you polled in any particular boss the manifesto was very clearly say of a shift you know the economy operation you see what Boris Johnson has been saying this body recognises that the difficulty there I think was. Coming down the top 345 things that we wanted to do making that very clear to people and going out delivering that message so you didn't see that this was an election about brakes and unfortunately you 48 on the other stuff that was a bit narrow wasn't it well I think if there is more people vote in. This election. People vote you know breaks it off people said they were going to vote. Oh I get can I ask a principle which is interesting as we've been hearing a lot of analysis about kind of why labor culture Labor voters are changing. Now you I don't want to put words into your mouth we haven't spoken before but I'm presuming that you would say that for 9 years many people have been hit by conservative austerity policies that's what your pitch was you were going to you were going to reverse that weren't you that was the idea is right right now why did so many of the people who suffered that austerity policy end up voting for the party that brought you austerity Well let's be quite clear about let's be quite clear about what happened here source of all if you look at turnout overall it's somewhat down 27 but he still in a number of places where you saw significant labor votes where the Conservatives did well you find it turned out he's down national average in what he was 27 So what actually happened here is a lot of people. Pretty conservative So let's be very clear right so so you're saying sorry to running out of time zones a very briefly Labor's task is to try to reach those people again who didn't get out of Best Yes exactly the issue here is to say to people that these things are about to end of terrace It's not that people are switching from Labor to Tories it's what they were saying to t.v. And next summer we can deliver so when Forrest Johnson says when Boris Johnson says with a note of humility and hand in his acceptance speech we got labor votes and we hope you trust to stay with us your saying you can get those votes back I'm saying get those labor votes the last Labor those chunks for labor get right to vote James Many many thanks indeed economist James former advisor to the shadow chancellor John McDonald taking his hand to much of that discussion was in the studio Tim Bell professor of politics this Queen Mary University of London so his analysis is that lots of Labor voters just stayed away in those constituencies and didn't learn their votes the Conservatives could be right he could be but how can he possibly know that we have no idea yet about flows of the vote it seems unlikely that so many Labor constituencies would flip straight to the conservatives if it was simply a case of Labor voters staying at home and in any. Case this was supposed to be the radical inspiring manifesto that would get people off their backsides who suffered from austerity for you know a decade or so and get them to the polls it's clearly failed to do that so I just don't think that analysis adds up to be honest and his analysis was also then it was nothing to do with Jeremy Corbin it wasn't about him people were turned off him it was to do with Rex It may be what he thinks Well that's certainly not what opinion polls tell us that's not what focus groups tell us and that's not what a lot of people he went out canvassing for labor tell us Coburn was a very very big problem for Labor and I think anybody in Corbin's mold will be a big problem for them next time around I think Corbin Easter's which is you know the nickname given to followers of Jeremy Corbyn half the this result this is their responsibility and if they don't because we were we were talking Actually I was just reading and a lot of political commentator online saying Well Ed Miliband the last Labor leader and had a defeat they brought somebody in to sort of look independently at what had gone wrong and didn't really kind of look at and Alice is close enough ignored it what do they need to do this time because do we need a post-mortem before we need a new leader well parties find it very difficult to conduct post-mortems after this kind of event what they do is they go straight into a leadership contest and leaders are elected on the basis sometimes of a kind of false analysis really of what went wrong last time around and I think you know that's partly what happened obviously when Germany was 1st elected in 2015 whether it is possible to have a leadership contest taking a longer time that might be a good idea that's what Michael Howard actually the Conservative Party leader who lost in 2005 did he deliberately engineered a long leadership contest and it gave the chance for alternatives to emerge and that alternative at that time was David Cameron. And you would think with the Labor Party now because of the influx of a younger membership a much more left leaning membership these these are the people it's a democracy within the party they vote for their leader so how I mean surely if you go back to them they can also the same thing and they probably are but I guess you cannot completely discount the shock effect of a loss like this will have on people in May It may bring people to their senses there's no doubt the labor moderates would say and you may see a lot of those people who have joined the party to support Jeremy Corbyn to protect German Corben actually drift out of the party now because that won't be in time for any leadership contest but over time we may see those people leave and we may see a whole bunch of people actually who have left the Labor Party in disgust Jeremy Corbyn over the last few years come back in and try and fight for the party they love and the Tories next move should be what then I mean clearly Bracks it is going to keep them busy we should be out of the you by the end of January and then the dead and trade deals carry on but they can't lose sight of what they promised in this election to people in this country is ultimately salute you know they are going to have to deliver. Least I think on their promises on the health service and it's notable that Boris Johnson Maajid on that this morning but I don't think anybody should be under any illusions we have had conservative prime ministers promised this kind of thing before and not deliver but to be honest Boris Johnson now has such a big lead over the Labor Party that it is very difficult to see whatever he does in losing the next election as well at this simple press or politics the Queen Mary University of London thank you for joining us in the state studio this morning yeah thank you for your company it's been fun and thank you dear listeners as well for being with us through the night any time during the night you've been with us as the results came in we've heard from the winner we've heard from happy politicians standing next to piles of votes votes for them we've heard of losers. Trying to make sense of it also at the redrawing in some important way of Britain's political culture also we've heard European attitudes on the night where Boris Johnson and his Conservative Party scored a thumping victory in the u.k. General election stay with the b.b.c. World Service for extended world update live from college green. We bring you the u.k. Election results through the night here in London the exit poll has just been published is forecasting that Prime Minister Boris Johnson's Conservative Party has won a healthy majority in Levy the conceptus Party candidate 17. This is obviously a very disappointing night for the Labor Party with the result that we've got. Has so polarized and divided divides this in this country it is overridden so much of the normal political debate to me I couldn't in all conscious fight for the evil while they have generally called in as a leader. I voted conservative for the 1st time as the nation hands us this historic mandate we must rise to the challenge and to the level of expectations and Parliament must change so that we can follow a working for you the British people.

Hello I'm Chris Berrow with the b.b.c. News the British prime minister Boris Johnson has hailed his conservative party's landslide election victory as irrefutable irresistible and unarguable proof of the British people's decision to get Bracks it done the party has secured a majority of nearly 80 seats his Norman Smith the scale of Boris Johnson's triumph is far greater than almost anyone had expected a victory which could yet recast the political map of Britain a seat after seats in Labor's traditional Northern and middle and heartlands fell to the Tories and the so-called red wall crumbled the result would appear to give Boris Johnson a virtual free hand in the policies he pursues and the sort of Bracks city delivers addressing supporters Mr Johnston said he was humbled by the support he'd received from voters who'd never backed his party before saying he'd repay their trust with investment in the National Health Service schools and extra police he said the Conservative Victory had brought an end to the breaks it deadlock we politicians and squandered the last 3 years 3 and a half years in squabbles about basically even been arguing about arguing tool that moans and we will get done on time by the 31st of January no ifs no buts no maybes delivering on the democratic mandate of the people the opposition Labor Party suffered its worst performance since 1935 the Labor leader Jeremy Colvin said it had been a very disappointing night but in a speech to supporters he said he would not be stepping down straight away or also .
