特雷莎·梅领导的保守党在此次英国大选中获得318个议员席位，比上次大选减少了13席，虽然保住了议会第一大党的地位，但议席未超过半数。为此她决定联合拥有十个议会席位的北爱尔兰民主统一党组建一个少数派政府，以获得过半的议会议席。

◆TRANSCRIPT

Welcome to BBC World News, our main headlines for you.

The British Prime Minister Theresa May is forming a new minority government a day after losing her majority in a snap election. She said her conservative party would work with Northern Ireland Democratic Unionist Party which won ten parliamentary seats.

The leader of the DUP Arlene Foster said that she had agreed to begin talks with the Conservatives. She said her party was as concerned about the interests of the UK as a whole as those of Northern Ireland.

In contrast the opposition Labour Party is celebrating unexpected gains across the country. Their leader Jeremy Corbyn said people both young and old had voted for change and for hope.

Mrs. May said the crucial talks on Britain leaving the European Union would begin as planned in ten days’ time, but European politicians say they're concerned that the result could add to the turmoil over break set.
