Ok lets go straight to san juan and w. s alexandra phenomena standing by to us for us good day to you alexandra whats happening right now where you are. There still people in the street maybe he. Can hear them playing some of them are already on their way. To. Date. Since he is indeed they were the governor. Down here where he gave her weight. But Nothing Happened the night very late finally he would. Make sure that they will. Think. Hes. A. Great. City. With a happy. Ok xander weve lost the sound on that if you can hear me well try to get you up again later in this program that was alexander phenomenon on this breaking news story in san juan for us also to britain now where Prime Minister Boris Johnsons cabinet will meet for the 1st time this morning with a host of new faces around the table now that hes in number 10 downing street johnson has replaced most of the cavity backs of hard liners to top post and casting opponents aside johnson is also doing to address the house of commons outlining his plans to take britain out of the European Union by october 31st no matter what. A triumphant barse johnson walking down the street to his New Residence standing outside number 10 downing street johnson made his 1st address as british Prime Minister. The doubters the dooms does the glooms does they are going to get it wrong again the people who bet against britain are going to lose their shirts because when they restore trust in our democracy. And were going to fulfil the repeated promises of parliament to the people and come out of the e. U. October 31st no ifs or buts and lets and johnson got straight down to work looking to brussels suggesting that if it came to a no deal brags that it would be because of the e. U. And it is of course vital at the same time that we prepare for the remote possibility the brussels refuses any further to negotiate and we all forced to come out with a deal not because we want that outcome. But to get to 10 downing street johnson 1st had to visit the queen to get the traditional nod of approval from the reigning monarch. Lets get more now did abused barbara basal standing by for us outside parliament in london good morning barbara these are sweeping changes in the cabinet more than half of its members have been replaced and its reflected in todays papers the times says the cabinet carnage in the guardian from the more left leaning press here says johnson takes his revenge because he has ruthlessly cold war less of threes mace cabinet everybody who wasnt for him in the competition for the leadership was just thrown on the scrapheap some marilee so there are a lot of big names now who will be sitting on the back benches here in cabinet in parliament and everybody wonders now whether they will have be happy to vote for johnson and to with the line or whether they will form a veritable rebel army on the back benches and he will have to sort of fight with in his own party he has to prove motive a whole bag full of bricks and cheers the cabinet is fairly crawling with press to tears he has a promoted right to be his 2 very prominent cabinet posts particularly the home secretary is a tree on the extreme right wing of the tory party and also the foreign minister is somebody whos known to be undiplomatic gruff in manner and rather quite controlled confrontational as so what this is supposed to be this cabinet that of johns new self praises as being mortar and fresh everybody is waiting with baited press for ok well Barbara Vicki question now too is one of the chances that this is the team along with Boris Johnson that will make bricks what happened in 99 days. And that is these big problem is that he didnt really outline anything yesterday in his short speech when he arrived in downing street other than saying if this doesnt go right if we have to leave without a deal its going to be the European Unions fault pointing the finger at brussels now if you do that before you even Start Talking to the other side i mean this is a rather hostile act so the problem is its not going to go down well its not going to further his cause in brussels anyway there they have said the he was drawl agreement is close he can just sort of add some embellishments but nothing fundamental but he ones fundamental changes and its very likely hes not going to get the how he wants to go beyond all this whether he really wants to be that radical or whether he just talks that way people even people who know but which of course one small closely i cant really figure it out maybe you will know more after youve spoken in parliament. To his tendency to be very very loose and very very sort of you have a lot of tall talk shows that and to say that he is probably not going to be very detailed barbara what have been some of the reactions to these cabinet changes the carnage as he described it and and his call for a new can do approach to getting things done and. They can do approaches such equally sort of security this morning because everybody says now what is the man doing there he is throwing about half the country to the side on the scrapheap and telling people everybody who was against breaks it and that was at 48 percent off the populace and they are nothing there i do susan and boosters and they should just just sort of buckle up and support britain and be optimistic and sort of look forward and so on so forth now whether people who are dress that way feel that they should really follow this advice is quite doubtful. That is the one side and the other side of course is that Boris Johnson seems to divide the country even more than he did before hes dividing his own his own party and hes dividing the country even more deeply than before so very uncertain how he wants to start in government here ok you said hes dividing his party i mean thats not a good strategy he only has to see majority right now can he get the party behind them when it comes to the push through by the end of october. Everybody here really expects elections relatively soon whether before breakfast we dont know i mean it might just happen because if he pushes parliament into a hard for exit and he he manages to sort of bypass parliament and just push it through then he can probably do it but then he might have a real parliamentary rebellion on his hands because some parliamentarians here have already have already said they have they have rented accommodation a big hall here and theyre going to meet and sort of try to defeat him so Boris Johnson has the battle of all times on his hands battle ahead did barbara thanks so much for that from london. Ok lets go back now to san juan puerto rico and alexander phenomena alexander we have you back now can you tell us what it was that angered the public so much that led to the mass protests where you are and to the resignation of the u. S. Territories governor. Yeah on sunday he was talking about that its important for him to stay in to stay in power because what he has achieved for the islands but it became clear he didnt have any choice then to step down after internal telegram messages were leaked to messages Text Messages in which the governor made to me said johnny and homophobic comments he most victims of hurricane irene he made jokes about shooting some one samir and. All the bad people and felt that it was so discussing that its time to stop its to protest and as the proud to continue the pressure on the governor to step down ok he says hes going to step down on august 2nd so are the protesters accepting that and what about the transition of the people in place that Puerto Rico Needs to to deal with the problems thats faces. And there are many problems indeed islands is dealing with so people that i talked to would be on the streets told me that they think theyre a big victory and that there are set aside that he is stepping down he didnt tell sad that he has to stay in until august 2nd to make sure that there will be a good transition here secretary of justice is going to take over however we have. To say as you mentioned that said puerto rico has a lot of problems they had as serious also Corruption Scandal is just still recovering from unique a memory out and they went through a long recession and they had to declare bankruptcy and theyre still waiting for a new Political Class people here in san juan told me go is out of banks and bring us up to date live from san juan worker puerto rico thanks very much. Paul in washington d. C. Both sides are claiming victory after the former special Counsel Robert Mueller testified before 2 congressional committees he told lawmakers that his investigation found inadequate evidence to prove that there was collusion between president Trumps Campaign and the russians but said once again that he did not clear trump of obstruct obstructing his probe now many are viewing millers testimony as a last chance for democrats to build a case for impeaching the president. For a man who choice to issue the spotlight former special counsel robot munna found himself at the center of a media frenzy once again and one of the most closely watched congressional hearings counted on him has seen in decades months testimony from that time is hoping nevertheless hounded the democrats and. The report did not conclude he did not commit obstruction of justice its a career that is correct and what about total exoneration if you actually totally exonerate the president you know now in fact. Europe which express the states that it does not exonerate the person it does rational democrats republican lawmakers focused instead almost conclusion that there was insufficient evidence to establish a criminal conspiracy between the Charm Campaign and russia eager to call the minor investigation case closed this hearing is long overdue weve had truth for months no america is part of the our election we need today its a let the truth bring us confidence and i hope mr chairman closure outside the hearing room republican nor make has dug in further questioning the legitimacy of money as investigation in the 1st place i think its an investigation that was not based on on real substantial facts that would warrant this kind of 2 year investigation for a growing chorus of democrats intent on impeachment in his testimony provided a showcase of what they see as a catalogue of president ial misdemeanors anybody else who committed these crimes would be prosecuted for them these are serious crimes witness tampering cover ups lies trying to fire the special counsel because he was concerned about the oversight that was going to be done by the special counsel so i think was a very successful hearing. Ultimately though no new ball michels came to light with munna refusing to stray beyond what he revealed in his report the democrats hoping that this would have been a seminal moment on a road to impeachment will likely be disappointed mona frequently refused to read from the report itself denying them their wish to put on a sort of minutes heavey special for the wider American Public who hadnt read this tome of a report but he didnt do the republicans any favors either busting the president s claim of total exoneration. Despite intense Media Attention it seems unlikely that money is final testimony will be enough to sway Public Opinion in a deeply divided country. Those brief you know some of the other stories making that is right now north korea is far too short range missiles from its east coast into the sea that according to south koreas ministry of defense this is a 1st missile test since leader kim jong un and donald trump agreed to revive Nuclear Talks last month they come before planned joint us south Korean Military exercises.
