Turning to the UK where new Conservative party leader Boris Johnson has delivered his first speech as prime minister. Once again, the Brexit hardliner vowed to take the UK out of the European Union by October 31st with or without a deal. CGTN's Richard Bestic reports from London.

On the road to Buckingham Palace, seeking Royal approval, the UK's New Prime Minister begins what could be a turbulent time in office. With a comfortable margin of support from his political Party's membership, Premier Boris Johnson spoke for the first time to the British people on the steps of No. 10 Downing Street. His messages are big, focusing on an image of Brexit, sounding aplomb.

BORIS JOHNSON UK PRIME MINISTER "The doubters, the doomsters, the gloomsters, they're going to get it wrong, again."

Johnson though has just about 100 days to come up a solution to Britain's Brexit impasse. There are no easy options if the country to leave the European Union by October 31st as Johnson has repeatedly and loudly declared. The EU again stressing it is unmoved by appeals to change a Withdrawal Agreement that took 18 months to negotiate and the UK Parliament refusing any suggestion of a 'no deal' Brexit.

RICHARD BESTIC LONDON "With an apparently ever-shrinking majority, Johnson may be tempted by the attractions of an early general election, seeking a majority he desperately needs to force a 'no deal' Brexit through Parliament. It would though be hugely high-risk gamble."

It was just such a gamble his immediate predecessor Theresa May tried and lost.

May gave a standing ovation on her way out after three years and 11 days in office, having repeatedly failed to get her Brexit deal agreed by Parliament.

Chancellor of the Exchequer Phillip Hammond among a significant number of ministers who have also left saying they couldn't bring themselves to serve in a Johnson government.

So, everything's changed and nothing's changed. A new UK Prime Minister, certainly, with a dramatically different style, definitely. But the same hurdles of the last three years and importantly the same Parliamentary arithmetic. Just a lot less time till the next deadline comes along. RB CGTN London.
