Pacific joining a race for influence in the region kenyas finance minister plea guilty to corruption charges. The man who led the push for braggs it will become the u. K. s next Prime Minister baraks johnson has won the conservative Party Leadership ranks wooing Party Members with this promise of a do or die brags that he says the u. K. Will leave the e. U. By the 1st the 1st of october johnson now needs to unite to divide it. Even more polarized nation needs to reports from london. It was a 2 horse race but theres only have a been one front runner Boris Johnson demolished his rival foreign secretary jeremy hunt with double the number of votes to become leader of the conservatives and on wednesday the country is now repair a party and a nation torn apart by bricks and deliver bricks it unite the country and defeat jeremy corbett. I know i know from somewhere it was already pointed out that deliver you night and defeat was not the perfect acronym for an Election Campaign since you are pushing its bills dud but they forgot the final easy my friends the energize and i say i say to all the doctors dude we are going to energize the country were going to get bricks it done on october 3rd he was going to take advantage of all the opportunities that it will bring in a new spirit of can do Boris Johnson has a clear mandate amongst conservatives to lead the party but his promise of a do or die no deal breaks it all october the 31st popular among his supporters has polarized even panicked his opponent doesnt have the qualities to make any kind of Prime Minister having no standards whatsoever of trees and the best city and then take me to a i think its very easy to see the similarities between from a forest that both. Of us told over. And they both seem to fly by the seat. And make up the policy as they go along there is a wave of worry about what Boris Johnsons leadership might look like also a huge amount of anger directed at grassroots members of the conservative party ion conservative m. P. s for making were the most divisive figures in modern british politics the next leader of the country earlier in the day cabinet ministers are rife it to reason mays last meeting as Prime Minister many of these ministers will be asking how johnson can succeed. To resume a failed were actually just the same just the same political paralysis as we thought before and unless Boris Yeltsin is through some sort of political alchemy able to unlock that then given that hes raised expectations pretty. The recriminations could be venomous one big expectation raised by johnson is of a new brakes a deal with brussels the us repeatedly said it wont reopen negotiations but as the blocks chief breaks it negotiated tweeted the use ready for dialogue moments after johnsons win was declared bookmakers were taking bets on his demise 5. 00 to 1. 00 to be the shortest serving Prime Minister ever he could face a no confidence vote if he fails to deliver on his promises for many months johnstons been on the political margins criticizing the government and often courting controversy now at the center of british politics everything appears to have changed but when it comes to bracks it many question whether anything will change at all. Aljazeera under. Jonah takes a local bar a stance rise to the top now. Were going to see. Boris johnson and brussels have a history together and it doesnt point to a happy conclusion as a young reporter based in the city johnson specialized in sometimes fabricated front page stories belittling european bureaucracy hes editor at the time describes johnsons willingness to tell any audience whatever he thinks most likely to please heedless of the inevitability of its contradiction an hour later so Mike Johnsons declarations on similarly be promises made to win over his Party Without the substance or detail to back them up and of. Course be pushed into action so we are standing ready to come out october. 31st a 1st cause. What may come out next door dont dawdle come up it. Was head of communications under Boris Johnson when he was mayor of london Boris Johnsons time at city hall showed that hes more than capable of doing detail he doesnt drown it he doesnt allow officials to come up with excuses for not doing things which is why he delivered almost everything he promised as mere and if he was to be that bulldozer if you like refusing to take no for an answer in number 10 then he could be he could be a successful Prime Minister as mayor for 8 years johnson was a flamboyant salesman for the city with a selfeffacing charm that indeed him to many but the challenge of downing street will far outweigh the city on both sides people are not all together convinced of that he is sincere about this as he has been another thing. But were about to find out and frankly the way hes now been selected with the conservative party hes got very little room for maneuver so what however this journey starts i we are breaking in now to take you to the Senate Judiciary committee in the u. S. Where the head of the f. B. I. Chris for a is testifying lets listen in a stray ssion would be a slap in their face. Thanks. Mr chairman and let me reiterate welcome its great to see you slightly more gray than we saw you last time it but i guess theres good reason for that and any of them welcome. Its been nearly 2 years since you were confirmed to run the f. B. I. And so we have a lot of important topics to cover i think during this time democracy and the rule of law have come under attack Foreign Governments have interfered in United States elections and continue to conduct influence campaigns that are designed to divide americans along racial religious and political lines the president has declared that he has an absolute right to control the Justice Department that the executive branch is immune from congressional oversight and that americans who disagree with him can go back to where they came from over the past 2 years the president has attacked the f. B. I. Describing the bureau and treat tweets as corrupt and full of dirty cops he is also suggested that the f. B. I. Is part of a deep stay and politically biased against him. Its my view that these claims are false and that theyre harmful they undermine Public Confidence in the f. B. I. s ability to enforce the law impartially which you do internal employee surveys show that while morale was high in 2016 under former director komi it is it is klein didnt 2017 after the president fire the director and began publicly attacking the bureau while the president has claimed that the f. B. I. Is investigation of his campaigns possible coordination with russia was started illegally the mauler report confirms that there was so the gentleman and lawful reason to open the investigation the moller report explains that the f. B. I. Started investigating possible coordination between the Trump Campaign and russia in response to information provided by a Foreign Government shortly after wiki leaks started releasing documents stolen by russia from the d. N. C. The moeller report further explains that in late july 2016 shortly after waking leaks 1st started releasing information stolen by russia from d. N. C. Computers australia told the f. B. I. That months earlier Trump Campaign advisor George Papadopoulos had told us truly is top diplomat in britain that russia had dirt on Hillary Clinton in the form of thousands of emails and that russia had indicated it could help the Trump Campaign by releasing those stolen emails to damage candidate clinton in fact the mother report concluded that Trump Campaign welcomed encouraged and expected to benefit electorally from russias efforts we should be grateful for the work that Law Enforcement does to stop Foreign Governments from interfering in United States elections this is especially true now with another president ial election ahead we know that russias efforts are ongoing and that other foreign powers will not hesitate to exploit opportunities to interfere in our elections and democracy you have warned us directory that russia is quote adapting and upping their game and quote and have described russias efforts to meddle in the 2018 midterm elections as a quote dress rehearsal for the big show in 2020 and quote you have also stated that quote an enormous strides and quote have been made since 2016 to protect our elections so i ask you to give us a frank assessment today of how prepared we are in particular at state and local level. To identify and address foreign interference in the 2020 election and moreover what more needs to be done threats to the nation from terrorists from criminals and from Foreign Governments seeking to steal our secrets and undermine our elections and democracy i believe are very real the 37000 men and women of the f. B. I. Are on the front lines every day addressing these threats and helping americans be safe the f. B. I. Is not a corrupt institution or the deep state it is not acting against the president for political purposes so we need to come together in a bipartisan fashion to support you and this Institution Even as we conduct important oversight i am very proud to be supportive of your organization and its mission i thank you for your leadership i know its tough and we look forward to hearing your testimony thank you mr chairman thank you for turn it over the director just a quick comment on the surface and stands a statement the committee will be looking at the counterintelligence investigation of the Trump Campaign we will call papadopoulos and well find out what happened well wait on mr horowitz to do this report about the fog of war abuse but will take a deep dive in the 2016 surveillance by the f. B. I. I know there are organizations of campaigns make sure that and what we know what were doing and there are protocols in place Going Forward to ensure that we dont play politics with the law mystery thank you. Thank you mr chairman rank member feinstein members of the committee for the late ninetys where you are. Wrong. Solace where test morning. Oh not so. Sorry about that. So that he was the chairman rankin to find son members of the committee for the chance to appear before you today i had originally intended to start with a few comments from my statement for the record which talks about some of the extraordinary work being done by the men and women of the f. B. I. And some of the threats we face but i want to do something a little different and talk about an issue thats particularly near and dear to me and that i think frankly doesnt get the attention it deserves before i turn to the many important questions of the committee. As you say center feinstein ive been on the job just under 2 years and one of the toughest things about this job is the loss of a Law Enforcement officer and certainly at the f. B. I. Weve experienced our share of loss but the success of the f. B. I. Also depends greatly on the support of our dedicated state and local Law Enforcement partners who patrol our neighborhoods protect our streets all across america and i see that much more clearly now after having visited all 56 of the f. B. I. Field offices and having spoken directly with local Law Enforcement heads from every one of your states our state and local partners serve on the f. B. I. s joint Terrorism Task forces all across the country their force multipliers in our fight against Drug Trafficking and taking down gangs in saving kids whove been kidnapped and countless other efforts that help keep americans safe. They also give the f. B. I. A much clearer understanding of the threats across the different communities in your states and ideas about how we can better combat them together every time i attend an f. B. I. Graduation for new agents or new analysts at quantico a significant number of those graduates are former state and local officers and i have the privilege of shaking their hands presenting them with their credentials and welcome them to the f. B. I. Families so a line of duty death is personal to the f. B. I. It is personal to me as director and i have a feeling its personal to a number of you since i became director shortly thereafter i asked my team to let me know every time an officer is shot and killed in the line of duty in this country and every time it happens i ask for a picture of the officer and i read about his or her family and about how long they served and then i pick up the phone and i call the chief or the sheriff or the commissioner and on behalf of the entire f. B. I. Extend my support and our condolences and i will tell you have made an awful lot of those calls to heart broken Police Departments way way too money just just last month for example i was overseas meeting with foreign counterparts and i found myself making 5. 00 of those calls in 9 days back to United States thats 5 lost protectors of communities 5 grieving families and colleagues all in a matter of days. One of the calls i made was to the Sacramento Police department. The home center finds one of you and of course senator harris just a few weeks ago on june 19th officer taro sullivan was killed while responding to a domestic disturbance she was 26 years old and shed only been on the job for about 6 months another call i made literally only about a day later was to the home state of senator corn and senator cruz Corporal Jose is very queta from the Mission Police department was killed while trying to catch a guy who had threatened his family with a gun and then fled on foot corpus barry queda was 44 years old and had a wife and 2 kids so these calls never get any easier in just under 2 years as director of already had to make condolence calls like that to more than half of the states represented on this committee and ive had to speak to some chiefs and sheriffs more than once ill never forget for example last september when i called the brook a vin mississippi Police Department after 2 of their men were killed put that in context they had an entire police force of 38 people unfortunately have already had 2 more officers shot and killed in the line of duty just this month one was an officer killed in arkansas this past thursday. So i mentioned only a few specific tragic incidents but i cannot stress enough that this is a problem that affects cities and towns big and small all over the country it can happen anywhere it can happen any time and the level of violence against Law Enforcement this country doesnt get a whole lot of National Coverage and i worry often that americans dont realize the extent of the problem thats maybe understand will because they dont see what i see in my job the devastating loss in each one of these instances to the loved ones left behind and the loss to the f. B. I. And to our communities of partners who as i say are so critical to our Mission Finally i want folks to remember that the dangers of this work go beyond just encounters with potentially deadly criminals think of the line of duty deaths and illnesses that were seeing now from our 911 1st responders i know that as director ive spoken and not one not 2 but 3 of our own agents who died as a result of their work in response to those attacks and there are countless other kinds of examples so i know our country faces a daunting list of challenges and im confident were going to be discussing any number of them together at this hearing but i do want to make sure folks around this country are not forgetting the good work of the people who are putting everything on the line it takes an incredibly special person to be willing to put his or her life on the line for a complete stranger. And to get up every morning day after day after day to do that i think is extraordinary so i think we owe it. To chris for a f. B. I. Director talking about the pain of losing agents in the line of duty i think were still were kind of just warming up here i think what many are expecting to be later of a more Lively Exchange and hearing at the Senate Judiciary committee theyre looking into well theyre kind of investigating the rush of investigations of the origins of that investigation amid concerns among some members of congress that it was too politicized. Now a major challenge facing britains new Prime Minister is to reduce tension with iran iranian diplomats do in vienna on sunday to discuss how to save the 2015 nuclear deal theyre meeting representatives from Britain China france germany and russia britains foreign secretary is calling for a european led Naval Mission to ensure the safety of shipping in the gulf also jabari has more of the iranian capital.
