a one seat majority a spokesman for to now his right wing could play down the likelihood of an early poll saying there's no need for it during such a sensitive period for national security just an infraction hamas which rules the gaza strip has celebrated resignation as a victory a cease fire which was mediated by egypt on tuesday appears to be holding step. deca reports from west jerusalem. less than twenty four hours after the gaza ceasefire came into effect the diplomatic fallout. i'm here to announce my resignation from the role of the defense minister of the state of israel the question which needs to be asked is why not i should aspire as i'm concerned what happened yesterday yesterday's cease fire together with the entire process of reaching a ransom and with hamas as a capitulation to terror bush should pull out go in defense minister avigdor lieberman also said he disagreed with katter bringing fifteen million dollars into
10:03 pm
gaza last weekend to pay the salaries of civil servants and the fuel shipments that have increased gaza's electricity moves that are all parts of efforts to ease gaza's humanitarian situation the mass wasted no time in reacting to lieberman's resignation. this constitutes a victory for the resistance and recognition of defeat and failure by lieberman and the zionist occupation and it is a failure of the policy of siege and devastating wars against the gaza strip this is the result of the palestinian people steadfastness. hamas has already celebrated the third year ceasefire as a victory for the palestinians to. gaza is of course a large reason for lieberman's resignation but there is no denying that domestic political factors are also at play when israeli media report describes the resignation as the opening salvo of israel's elections the expectation is that the election reset for november next year will be brought forward to what's happening
10:04 pm
now in israeli politics is a major event because you have the defense minister which is the number two position in the government at a party in this government has resigned and he's resigned and basically showed his no confidence with the prime minister now it's not going to bring down the government right away it could it could lead to elections but he's showing he's positioning himself to be the opponent in it and you know the opponent to the right of it and you know what the events of the last few days show is that gaza will remain at the center of israeli politics as long as the situation there remains unresolved stephanie decker al-jazeera west jerusalem. well could harry force it turns in that west jerusalem as much pressured as this and for netanyahu. well it's certainly dani's under significant political pressure as a result of his policy on hamas and on gaza i mean there is another second night of protests against him and against his policy by israeli residents near the gaza
10:05 pm
border fence there was a snap poll taken by one of the israeli news channels today in the aftermath of all this it found that the number of seats that his party in the could would take in an election is down from thirty five a few months ago to twenty nine now that lieberman's party is up a couple of seats also approval of netanyahu handling of security policy vastly down as well so there's there's that wider element of pressure and also of course there is the play numbers involved he is down to just one a majority in the knesset israeli parliament of just one if another coalition partner decides that this is the time to pull the trigger then obviously his coalition is in a much more precarious position than it was before lieberman's departure and with a change of defense minister mean a change of policy on gaza. well to some extent it depends who that defense
10:06 pm
minister is if you listen to the likud officials being quoted in the israeli media mr nessie ownself wants to retain the defense minister he's already both the prime minister and the foreign minister but there is accounted it in more than just putting himself forward for the position another right wing to the right of netanyahu in his coalition natale bennett who's currently the education minister head of a separate party according to reports his officials or officials for his party are saying that unless he is given the defense ministry he will take his party out of the coalition as well now netanyahu has already shown himself able to countervail the very voluble protests of one hawkish defense minister so presumably he might be expected to do so again although obviously he has less room for the maneuver with less of a majority in the parliament however there is also the question simply of events
10:07 pm
dictating policy inside gaza we had no idea any of this is going to happen before this covert mission which went so badly wrong on sunday if that had gone according to plan presumably we would still be in a very different position so events can always derail things when it comes to gaza policy and having spent the kind of political capital that he was talking about in paris on sunday already in trying to call a halt to hostilities it will be more difficult for him to do so should hostilities break out again and we see another repeat of this kind of extent of rocket fire coming out of gaza another time harry forces in western and thank you very much. u.k. prime minister is holding crunch talks with her cabinet in a bid to save her breaks that deal as well as her job other reports that some senior politicians from her party calling for a no confidence vote against
10:08 pm
a reason may's premiership she's due to make a statement any minute outside her official residence number ten downing street so with cameras are trained on that at the moment she needs senior ministers to back a draft brix a deal which will dictate how the u.k. leaves the european union in parliament she hailed the agreement saying it would take the government significantly closer to delivering on what people had voted for in twenty sixteen. paul brennan is monitoring events outside the prime minister's residence so paul what you're hearing about this talk of a no confidence motion. yes i mean the european research group which is a grouping within the conservative party of right wing bracks it is arch bracks it is in fact they would probably call themselves true bracks it is they're prepared to go for a hard it's a no deal bracks it's if necessary they say that they've grown so impatient and so exasperated by the course of action that the prime minister has taken through the
10:09 pm
course of these negotiations and now with the deal that remember they haven't seen yet but the leaks that they believe they are getting that may be accurate but they're not happy and they're going to start submitting letters to the backbench nine hundred twenty two committee which would spark the process of a no confidence vote in the prime minister it needs to reach a certain number of forty eight for that process to actually begin but we'll see whether the prime minister when she comes out and we are expecting in the next few minutes what kind of a reception she's received from her cabinet government ministers to her deal it's been a marathon meeting more than five hours since two pm when it started we haven't seen the deal it hasn't been officially published but the rumors and the leaks that have emerged over the past twenty four hours certainly led to a boisterous exchange during prime minister's questions in the parliament building today. it breaches the prime minister's own red lines it doesn't deliver
10:10 pm
a strong economic deal that supports jobs and industry and we know they haven't prepared seriously for no deal so does the prime minister's still intend to put a false choice to parliament between her a botched jail or no jail a right. to be right on the agenda and he's wrong in the description that he set out but can i also say to him time and time again he is going up. in this house and complained that the government is making progress the government isn't anywhere close to a deal now where we're making progress and close to a deal he's complaining that i. think i think that clearly show. he and the labor party have only one intention that is to frustrate the tried. yet only and poor parry that travelling to brussels what can we read into that. i think that what we can read into that is the run out of time today i mean
10:11 pm
parliament itself is no longer sitting so the prime minister can't go to parliament to come to the commons to give a statement there on the outcome of the cabinet discussions or she would be required to do under protocol there was talk of a press conference this evening but then the leaders of the main opposition party submitted a letter a joint letter to downing street behind me saying look that is simply not on you can't brief the media before you've briefed the members of the elected members of parliament they're very unhappy about that so whatever the outcome and we are we are expecting a brief statement from the prime minister in the next few moments but it won't be substantially if we are expecting a probably a more substantial statement to morrow morning perhaps around ten thirty to eleven thirty and the fact that the three hasn't gone to brussels that simply means that the prospect of a news conference with him and the e.u. negotiator michel barnier is a nonstarter for tonight is going to happen overnight it's on and poor if she hasn't managed to get it past the cabinet what does she do next. great question i
10:12 pm
mean what does she do next if the cabin is not supporting her. well if you got the backbenches putting letters in to spark a no confidence votes her own cabinet is not supporting her then frankly it's curtains for theresa may as prime minister she fights on i don't think so we're looking at a general election could it could she take it to the people i mean if possible so i suppose that she could take it to a people's vote and branch the whole thing the whole breck's it back to a second referendum but she's always said that she doesn't want to do that she's adamantly opposed to that so that would appear to be a massive climbdown if she does appear to reverse course and take that as an option so i think it's very difficult to see where she should go from here if cabinet doesn't support her stance and we saw jeremy corbyn there in promises questions do we now have a coherent position from the labor party on what they would do about brakes if it were to come to a general election. no we don't i mean i was at the
10:13 pm
labor party conference just a couple of months ago where the membership wanted to see germany corben come out very firmly in favor of a second referendum people's votes he agreed to make it an option all options are on the table he said but you can see i mean he came out explicitly and said his preferred option would be a general election now he's not been pinned down any more than that he would much prefer a general election he himself is well known to be a euro skeptic and he wants to respect the will of the people he says and that means the fifty two percent who voted for bracks it's the reality is that if people are expecting labor to somehow ditch breakfasts and go back to the status quo that's not going to happen what about the mechanisms there are many if even if this doesn't get through the cabinet there's still the matter of article fifty eight talk us through the kind of the mechanics of trying to change things when when there actually is a deadline the moment this imposed by article fifty. yes i mean there
10:14 pm
are several dominoes that that could fall for the right way although for the wrong way i mean are we seeing the pieces falling into place are we seeing the government falling to pieces. the government the cabinet needs to approve it if it doesn't approve it uncharted territory if it does approve it then theresa may will go to parliament and she will then go to brussels a summit will be held around twenty fifth of november where we expect the e.u. leaders will approve it then she has to come back to parliament and that's where the problem arises because there is an impasse there is no majority one way or the other in parliament we have euro skeptic members former members of the government such as boris johnson who is totally unhappy with the compromise that to resign may has arrived at with her bracks a deal we have members of the labor party who say that it's selling it's not the bracks it that was voted for by the fifty two percent and for that for that reason
10:15 pm
alone it shouldn't be pursued as an ongoing policy so that there are various different reasons but what unites them all is that their own happiness and the lack of a majority a consensus majority for teresa mayes policy so as we get closer and closer to may twenty ninth as the problem in this autumn is the crucial this month is the crucial bit then the uncertainty about how it's going to go forward to if we don't get a consensus then. we are in uncharted territory it's very very difficult to predict which way it's going to go and i think what we're realistically looking at if there isn't agreement is a general election. for the time being thank you very much for just a reminder of years we're watching at the top of the tournament ten months and most exciting of pictures but it is exciting in terms of news because we expect prime minister to resign me to come out any moment now give a statement on a brics it deal she said that it was. very we're on a window of a significantly closer to delivering the results of the brics it vote but she's
10:16 pm
been locked in a meeting with her cabinet which is now overrun for at least a couple of hours so we'll bring you that statement from tourism a soon as it happens more now on the killing of saudi journalist. turkey's foreign minister says the time is right to move the investigation into his death to the international stage every told the turkish parliament that an international investigation was essential he said turkey was still committed to solving the murder and that his government had shown the evidence it had to all interested parties it was so true as previously said turkey had no intentions of progressing the case to the international court in security council has voted to lift sanctions against eritrea an arms embargo asset freeze and travel ban imposed in two thousand and nine i made claims that eritrea supported our fighters in somalia the un vote follows a sawing of relations between eritrea and its neighbors after years of conflict in
10:17 pm
june ethiopia and eritrea signed a peace deal of relations with cuba but also improved ethiopia's ambassador to the un welcomed the resolution but noted the difficulties ahead. lifting of the sanction regime or military doesn't of course mean that the region is free of challenges we still face problems that require it first and determination to resolve we still need the help and syria's support of the international community but on our part we are determined to accelerate if earth's to create the region where his development and democracy prevail in her many. united arab emirates which is part of a sound united coalition fighting in yemen says it supports a u.n. plan for peace talks to be held by the end of the year is now spent coincides with reports that saudi backed fighters have suspended their offensive on the rebel held port city for data who think rebels however say they have killed at least twenty
10:18 pm
five pro-government forces on the eastern outskirts of her data he's released this video showing the moment multiple baby traps exploded as the forces and to a compound ramadan dome has more from djibouti. there is a law in the fighting in the port city of the but so far it seems like a unilateral ceasefire with the fighters go home farming the polls in fighting say that both sides are keeping to their positions but quickly added that they were willing to continue fighting if need be on the streets of the day that the u.s. state the minister for foreign affairs and what god has told journalists that his government supports a ceasefire in data and out of town to peace talks for parties in the conflict in yemen so would the government also as part of a goodwill gesture before the start of peace talks agreed to lift up to fifty injured the fight is probably to amman now we're also seeing some sort of consensus
10:19 pm
between western powers including the united states britain france and even russia to try and stop the war in the yemen some sort of a cease fire that would lead to talks this time in sweden after the failure of the last round of was supposed to take place in geneva switzerland which failed because the whole of these. everyone understands too well what of the civil option to the vital services of the port of could do to an already die a humanitarian situation which led the united nations secretary general and tony good terrorist to warm the port activities should not be disrupted whatsoever because it's a lifeline for up to fourteen million yemenis who need aid to survive and as a general force. is a wanted man the u.n. and central african republic government accused of war crimes committed when muslim

10:21 pm
a spectacular failure nineteen died and hundreds were injured in the battle. don't be fooled by the bustling streets downing street where prime minister to resign main street is addressing the nation after her meeting with the cabinet let's listen in. the the cabinet has just had a long and impassioned debate on the draft withdrawal agreement and the outline political to outline political declaration on all future relationship with the european union these documents were the result of thousands of hours of hard negotiation by u.k. officials a many many meetings which i and all the ministers held with our e.u. counterparts i firmly believe that the draft withdrawal agreement was the best that could be negotiated and it was for the cabinet to decide whether to move on in the talks the choices before us were difficult particularly in relation to the northern
10:22 pm
ireland backstop for the collective decision of cabinet was that the government should agree the draft withdrawal agreement and the outlined political declaration this is a decisive step which enables us to move on and finalize the deal in the days ahead these decisions were not taken lightly but i believe it is a decision that is firmly in the national interest. when you strip away the detail the choice before us is clear this deal which delivers on the votes of the referendum which brings about control of our money and borders and free movement protects jobs security and our union all leave with no deal only or no bricks it at all i know that there will be difficult days. the and that is entirely as it should be and entirely understandable but the choice
10:23 pm
was this steel which enables us to take back control and to build a brighter future for our country all going back to square what with more division and more uncertainty and a failure to deliver on the referendum it's my job as prime minister to explain the decisions that the government has taken and i stand ready to do that beginning tomorrow with a statement in parliament. if i may and by just saying this. i believe that what i owe to this country is to take decisions that are in the national interest and i firmly believe with my head and my heart that this is a decision which is in the best interests of our entire united kingdom. to be watching the u.k. prime minister there confirming that the cabinet which has met for many hours this afternoon has agreed to do you know which is the draft agreement with the the
10:24 pm
european union on brics it as she said i know there will be difficult days ahead she said had been a long and impassioned debate on the deal draft that in the end their choices were difficult but the collective decision was to agree the draft agreement she described this as a decisive step and this was taking the country closer to the vote they'd agreed on significantly closer to that brics that deal that the people voted on let's bring in paul brennan who's outside number ten downing street there so poor cabinet after all has agreed to go with this draft agreement. in the run through some of the laws that are noted down by the way the prime minister took no questions brief statements i think she was aware of the protocols that she should give a substantive statement to parliament before she really does a substantial briefing to the media but what she said that the deal that she because you need to do is a product of thousands of hours of the go see. and she firmly believed it was the best deal that could be negotiated in circumstances she said that the choices were
10:25 pm
difficult and had been difficult but this is the collective decision in the cabinet does agree these decisions she said had not been taken lightly and she said it was her job as prime minister to explain the wider context and she will do that in the house of parliament on thursday what she said was that she believed that she owed it to this country to take the decisions in the country's best interest now you could read that perhaps as a kind of well address but. clearly not going to take everybody with her on this there are critics within her party there are critics within the opposition parties who are not happy with the deal not happy at all and there will be considerable opposition to it on going from this for the moment she's got the support of her cabinet and when not aware of any cabinet ministers dissenting remember after checkers during the summer where all the cabinet signed up to her original checkers deal forty eight hours later two of those cabinet ministers resigned david davis and boris johnson time is too short now if they can to make
10:26 pm
a decision to quit any ministers inside they're going to have to do it basically now i don't think that that's going to happen the indications are that that's not going to happen at all so if she now got the agreement to cabinet does that weaken the hand of those who've been talking today about possible new confidence missions and so on. no i don't think it does no i think the backbenchers are quite separate through the ministers the government ministers and they have their own thoughts on their own opinions so they will still continue to put in the letters i expect the european research group has changed its position at first they were saying well we don't like the policy but we'll support the person now they're saying that they don't believe the theresa may is the right person anymore and the fact that she is going to push this policy through this. deal this draft deal that she's got continue to push it through this albeit with the support of the cabinet
10:27 pm
that's still not going to satisfy those skeptics within the european research group and indeed the wider skeptics and she still got to brief the d u p of the northern ireland party that she relies upon to prop up her minority governments they still have to be shown the actual text of the document i haven't seen it yet so yeah there's a lot of opposition and a lot of hurdles that she has to cross before she is safe and the you know the do you people are saying tonight that her position is it's exceedingly shaky already and thank you very much indeed. and prosecutors in the trial of el chapo one of the world's most notorious drug lords have asked the judge to throw out the defense's opening statement a trapper's team accused mexican presidents of taking bribes from traffickers kingsman is accused of being the head of a similar cartel once the main supplier of illegal drugs to the us is facing trafficking and conspiracy charges. cameras on his following the trial in new york
10:28 pm
could tell us more about what's been happening today. yeah this is day two of this high profile trial here in the prosecutors have laid out their case they say evidence in this trial is going to show that joaquin el chapo guzman is a bloodthirsty. narco leader that led this in a low a cartel for decades raking in billions of dollars in profits from drug sales in the united states now the defense in their opening statements they said that they are going to lay out evidence that they say will show that that is not cool chapo guzman is they say that he's been a do more of a myth than anything else and they say this is going to be a trial also about. a corrupt mexican government they say that he's using el chapo guzman as a scapegoat very high profile case here in brooklyn in new york but both sides both the government and the defense both say over the course of the next weeks and
10:29 pm
months of this trial that's expected to go for months they will lay out cases that will it's really lay out their sides to this high profile case here ever has and i thank you very much. u.s. defense secretary jim mattis is visiting the southern border with mexico where thousands of troops were sent on a controversial mission ahead of the midterm elections president trump deployed nearly six thousand troops in response to a caravan of asylum seekers slowly making its way through mexico towards the united states. actually fallen silent about the caravan since the november election troops remain stationed at the border actually how haynes had this update from washington d.c. . well the secretary told the people of reporters on the plane that he just wanted to visit the troops and he doesn't often do that but what he doesn't often do is let the cameras follow him pretty much everywhere and that's exactly what they did today especially into the laundry ted now the secretary was not alone he was joined
10:30 pm
by homeland security secretary cures to nielsen and reports have said the both of these cabinet members are in a very tenuous position that both could be fired within days so the skeptic but i think this is a u.s. president donald trump who spends a whole lot of time watching cable television and these pictures were splashed all over domestic cable television now there have been a lot of critics of this move including really prominent former military force star generals and they have said that this is a political stunt meant to drive up republican votes before the midterms secretary mabus responded to that question. brown i would refer them to the new york times and what happened to the mexican police. i would just leave that to the. secretary of the department of homeland security. she's a professional. border patrol the border professional the people
10:31 pm
responsible for the mission of the one time they should do. something like this basically what he's saying is that the migrants were able to push through a fence on the mexican border and they don't want that to happen here in the united states there have been as i mentioned critics of this because let's just say the military is actually still on the border when this caravan makes it there's a law called posse come the tardis that means the military can't actually intervene to deal with any sort of asylum seekers or migrants they can set up fences and they can provide medical treatment and they can fly. people from one point to the other but that is all they can actually do while fires in northern california are now covering fifty five thousand tech tez is the worst blaze in the history of the state forty eight people have been killed among two hundred missing but it's just one of several fires burning there in southern california firefighters a struggling to contain the woozy fire just killed at least two people has
