what sort of extension to grant for how long and what sort of conditions might be attached alongside the main vote tonight there are some amendments of course m.p.'s putting forward their idea of how things ought to go there's one amendment that will test the waters on a second referendum is another that will attempt to force a vote on all the available options next week before the e.u. council some of the so-called indicative vote there's even an amendment suggesting that trees make shouldn't be allowed to bring her deal for another vote as she plans to do next week well that's all to come let's try to unpack it a bit with tom hamilton he's my guest former head of policy and research for the opposition labor party tom thanks for being with us what do you make first of all of to reason may's gambit announced last night to try and bring her deal twice defeated for a third attempt next week well it's say it's all she's got she's got a deal that has been negotiated agreed by the and by the you can get in that the just not by the u.k. parliament and she doesn't have the ability to go away and negotiate anything else
11:01 pm
in the time that's available since so the point that she's been making over the last few days and indeed weeks is if you don't want no deal and you've got a vote for a deal the only deal the rest of it for is the one that's been negotiated if you want something different you've got a vote for that instead and although there isn't a majority in parliament for the deal that's been made pretty clear twice will probably make a third time next week if it gets to that there isn't a sign in the choice of anything else either so an m.p.'s know what they don't want but they don't know what they do one was speaking of the alternative what may be in place of deal that could come if this amendment passes tonight across party amendment to try and force it a so-called indicative vote something in members have been asking for the government hasn't wanted to do it could some sort of consensus emerge there well it's not impossible if that amendment passes and it may pass if it gets the support of labor party base that may not happen i don't think that the workings inside to yet if that does happen you still have the problem that both main parties. likely
11:02 pm
to whip their own pays in one direction or another and that means it's quite unlikely that any possible way forward is going to get a majority of the house we don't have one of the deal labor has some pretty clear preferences for how it would like to go forward but that but those preference will probably end up getting defeated i would if the war that's not impossible there's no majority at the moment in parliament i think for a second referendum that true that could change but i think that the opposition to it is is pretty strong but what i want to rock out of a lot of what you think the labor party will make of that next week if that indicative vote takes place it's policy to go for a second referendum in the absence of anything else will the labor party put its weight behind a second referendum next week its policy for it to go for second if there's nothing else the question is how long it can go before saying that there is nothing else it still thinks they're all sensitive brecht's that options on the table that could be negotiated in principle they have meetings they have missions but in brussels where their own policy has been accepted with some you know they've been some positive noises that all sense of town might be possible and while that's the case they
11:03 pm
would rather do that when the labor is its labor policy to have a second referendum but it's not the sort of the labor leadership's preference and there are good reasons for that if we assume therefore that there is no majority alternative and it treason maze deal doesn't get through in the e.u. seems now to be of a mind old toast making the point that if you don't bring us anything we could work with will and the only extension we'll give you is a very very long one and that could be the end of it all together what it could be i mean that that is right i mean either you have a really short want to tie up some of the little ledge this not if you pass the deal or you do not have a long one because you're starting again and if you do that inevitably politics means you know you can have a general election in time you could have second effort and in the meantime it could mean that there isn't there isn't bracks in the end that's not by no means guaranteed and what it would mean is that the press that that we potentially end up getting would be could be negotiated again but that would mean the government whatever whatever kind of that government might end up being. by the time the
11:04 pm
extension end it's that would mean the government changing its red lines and having a different approach to negotiate ok tom hamilton thank you so much for your insights and martine another big evening of voting this evening about the only thing we can say with any certainty is that we'll all be here again next week for more much more of the same ok thanks very much for that jenna down the hall there reporting live from western systems come here at out is there a way to make it close enough for the latest democrat to enter the race for the u.s. presidency. hallow you should have a couple of quiet days in hong kong there is a little bit of rain developing inland in china but as maybe four more familiar pattern now is coming out in sichuan and drifting slowly east was producing
11:05 pm
a few big showers and mostly is not that heavy twenty three there in hong kong eighteen in shanghai both in the sunshine as a warming signal for shanghai we saw some rain yesterday the day before in pakistan and you see the clouds just going up into the foothills the himalayas and this tail here that might produce something on this northeastern part of india but nothing much to speak of increasing needs like we have showers i think we'll see showers in sri lanka we have seen some recently even in chennai but sri lanka seems more likely otherwise she's quite wasn't members temp she's starting to slowly rise but not a huge leap chance yet. rather more active weather again across the levant in the middle east throughout the rest of thursday and into friday down the gulf in particular the wind will pick up the cloud will pick up the b word to thunderstorms and we're greeted at least i think from abu dhabi up towards doha was quite a strong south easterly wind not a loss true art friday the temperature for will if anything slightly rise a quarter winded twenty six degrees on saturday but still hotter than mecca.
11:06 pm
if the war where on my watch t.v. has taught us is to be able to insights be in expressing exactly what is happening in the moment and what it needs. or if you joined us on sat israel is an apartheid state and in the ethnic cleansing of the palestinian people this is a dialogue everyone has a voice and we want to hear from you join a global conversation on mt is iraq.
11:07 pm
let's have a look at the top stories here at al-jazeera saudi arabia says those responsible for the murder of a journalist a marker shoji have been brought to justice the head of its human rights council made the statement to the un in geneva but gave no further details algeria's new prime minister has addressed the public for the first time since taking office the recently promoted nurdin bettery said he's forming a government of technocrats which will be open to all he added that the government's mandate will not exceed a year. the rescue effort has been called off in the nigerian city of lagos after a three storey building collapse on wednesday at least sixteen people were killed the building had apartments as well as a primary school on the top floor. where the war in syria has triggered the world's biggest refugee crisis and the european union is hosting a conference along with the un in brussels to get some money now the e.u.
11:08 pm
itself is possible than two billion dollars to support syrians in the end here's why the conflict has killed over half a million people that's according to the u.k. based syrian observatory for human rights the u.n. says almost twelve million syrians are in need of aid while millions are internally displaced five point six million syrians are living as refugees outside of the country most of them in lebanon in jordan in turkey iraq and egypt we can speak now to francesco rocca who is president of the international federation of the red cross and red crescent society is joining us from that conference in brussels. how many people do we think that two billion dollars will actually help when we're talking about so many syrians in need. but it's very difficult
11:09 pm
to identify the right figure so when you talk about about money our experience on the ground is that while in the last months we ceded the fight is decreasing and so we are able to reach more areas more needs are coming out so while these are from some someone the condition to say the emergency is over it is not over a paula there is a huge need many people is really desperate the needs of everything you saw there the role of the red cross red crescent is try to support our water food psychosocial support and in the recent weeks that we are still working. in their whole camp there are about sixty thousand new refugees in ninety years indeed and there are specific problems on their associated with the with the women and children for the most part are in that camp but i'm just wondering if that many of the other internally displaced people within syria. presumably what the money is
11:10 pm
really needed for is for rebuilding for reconstruction as much as anything else but i'll be right. yes. reconstruction on the other hand said that there is water sanitation because many are living in very dire condition still there is a need of food distribution still there is also something that we are increasing. in the last we did the opportunity to restart with a new life giving them the opportunity to start with new jobs and this is something that is extremely important because he's not dignity is not only about giving food . dignity giving the. needy to start with a job but it defied the human being so it sounds to me like this is not going to go very given the extent of need in syria. of
11:11 pm
course and this is. something that. is not. something that would be an important point just war. in the past we experienced that was starting to be neglected crises all forgotten crises and this is something that could be really really she is not only for that you want to be used by those who for the security of the of the region working we are working so hard in the area not only in syria but in lebanon in turkey in jordan in iraq in all the affected by by the conflict francesco. thank you very much indeed for taking the time to talk to us from brussels thank you. well meanwhile on the ground in syria government forces have been shelling residential areas in southern italy been the province as attacks in the region are escalating in recent

11:22 pm
ready to be scared i'm for me ok and you're in the stream what do you as horror film say about blackness from hollywood tropes to heroes we're examining the changing role of black characters in scary movies. the fans of fright south by southwest is the place to be that is way too scary movies us and a little monsters premieres this week my co-host of allow is the egg giving us a sneak peek at the films and explaining one reason they stand out in the horror genre. i'm standing outside the paramount theater here in austin texas where at the premiere of the new film us from director jordan peele of the get out you might remember that film a psychological fourth film from not too long ago this is the follow up of sorts another thrilling drama that will make you think featuring an all star cast of
11:23 pm
color stars snoopy ten young doe and winston black panther fame and showcasing something you don't often see in horror films people of color don't die for. it's a well known cliche in slasher movies and when audiences outside the us premiere where familiar with it's really influential to have a cast like this and that's due in serious our last film that had a cast like this was a movie of course the wayans brothers and they did a phenomenal job of making fun of how harm movies basically kill off all the african-american. leads or even supporting actors but in this film everyone was strong as a person of color i think it's very encouraging i think it's really fantastic like someone like jordan is getting a chance to tell the story of his people and from my own perspective as an average american it just makes me wish that someone like rehman malik or more of american actors would be just as visible and to me it's inspiring to know that there could
11:24 pm
be you know at some point some time in place for us to tell our stories. are careful not to divulge any spoilers but describe the film as one that makes you think. i don't think it's insignificant who survives i think that's part of his saving. yeah i mean it's you know when they're doing the cure it's just like well it's amazing catholics see him up there and yeah i just think you know there's somebody shows on netflix with more diverse cast and it's not a big deal to most of us and it's you know it's time to see. different people doing things that they would be doing you know not that this is what people are. right how could i. if it's an ad. for actress lupita nyong'o us is only one of the horror films screening at south by southwest that she stars in this year she spoke to the stream at the red carpet screening for little monsters a horror comedy in which she plays
11:25 pm
a zombie fighting school teacher i think what's this what's beautiful about both us and little monsters is that my blackness is not it's not remarkable it's just the norm you know that there is a there is the human experience that goes beyond race and that's what these two films are about something else other than the color of skin so when we had a list of people. approached for this role my producers said look this is the opportunity to just take a swing for the francis and say you are who is the ultimate person that you would want in this role and there was no question for me it was the pedro. because she just looked if my son was stuck on a field trip and surrounded by zombies i would want to bring younger there to protect him. well he could be a lie i just see it as a stream austin. thanks we'll discuss why black characters have often been the first to die and how that's changing essentially is actress rachel
11:26 pm
true also out of. doom she's the executive producer of toronto art that's a documentary that examines the role of african-americans in horror films and in college station texas robin means coleman she's vice president for divesting a at texas a and m. university and author of current law blacks in american horror films which inspired the documentary hellova he's so good to have you here i want to show you something here you may have already seen it go into all this is official trailer a shot of a regional high school for some of the comments i was not impressed some people don't even understand what the genre is for instance to chick black car up you don't hear people say why tara lol conti just be horrid without an agenda kumar who. is it. that i want to go to that bridge go oh i was going to hand it up to the professors but just say that's
11:27 pm
a real white privilege statement they made no professors take it away. so so the book very quickly the book and the movie are real worried about recognizing african-americans in the genre it's about celebrating their presence it's about reminding us that representations don't matter this is our documentary and the book really didn't leave it is about lax contribution to the john rocker. we have. folks who are saying why why blackness why do we need to talk about focus on that and that that really gestures to a colorblind statement and i am proud of my black man in my culture and the contributions we've made. and i. i bring my race with me and i think it's ok to talk about the cultural history and the racial histories that we embody but what do
11:28 pm
you think in honor. well i think it's very easy for people who see themselves reflected in media constantly. to be sort of blind about how much they take their programming and how meaningful it is when you do exist film and television and also how hurtful it is when you're misuse on film and television and this is a lot of what hardwire gets to the heart because inevitably when you're talking about history that also includes the history where we haven't been treated so well . and i kind of just how in that in the documentary i talk about the line in black yellow or black yellow and when you're a nine hundred seventy s. head of dracula take with a black cast blacula turns one of his friends and then says these friends is looking in the mirror and cannot see his reflection and says what is
11:29 pm
a man if you cannot see his own reflection so for me that was very deep because as it as a black american quite often i do not see my own reflection none television when i was younger this is important just for this one out he is from tatiana ward she's in the spy wing screenwriter she points down some of the generic counties that you might see in a horror noah as she says we've got token black friends they sacrifice themselves for the group annabel but books i am legend mystical really just characters who so purposes to ward off would vice all they may only service comic relief she goes on they might be ma serial killer amongst a maniac or entity that a doomed so who are these various different characters that can be helped to head right chill what have you found oh i listen i think the documentary hard enough. art is a great job at breaking down which stereotypes and tropes are actually true in the
11:30 pm
movies and which are not but this is the beautiful thing about the renaissance of filmmaking right now when when our story a person of color any color stories told by someone other we're going to get a story that may not be our road so now that we have jordan peele and get out and us and many many other movies we can tell our own stories and we can dispel some of these troops because to a certain extent i have been the token friend in movies i have been a magical niekro and i have been all these things now there's little threads of those things that are actually great when they become you know the norm in every movie be that it becomes a trope so professors. know you're right and. another you know i was a so i'm going to agree are absolutely right and we've seen you and other black actors struggle to sort of break out of those binds in terms of limited role
11:31 pm
limited exposure and misuse you know so that's what the horn are is about and it's also amazing to be around at this time in history to see history actually changing . and the idea and i want to add is that actors and performers you know if you're a certain extent we take the jobs we can get and if you are a black actor in one nine hundred fifty and you have to play a house servant next to a zombified haitian guy with a white glass eyes you are to a certain extent bending your own self but you are also pushing things forward so it is an interesting position to be and know when you are further outro and yet if you didn't do it there would be zero representation ok so ladies let me let me introduce you to a cliff notes i have a right to end of the session and he talks about what it means that our new law can bring to the genre of filmmaking have a look what i've learned about marketing or just general
11:32 pm
storytelling is that us is people don't like to be told something we don't want to be told. that something is happening we we have a much stronger connection to something when we feel like we've come up with that idea in our own so with using horror you're able to force people to think about oh this is terrible this is something as awful and horrific as a microbe russian in a film might get out and be able to. extend that metaphor throughout the film and really get people to understand what it's like to be black in these worlds so this idea that black film can teach us something about the black experience can you take us a little bit further with that tonight. well horror is the perfect genre to try to
11:33 pm
encapsulate it's certainly the african-american experience and really the the african experience around the diaspora in places where we were brought in voluntarily and places where we're not treated well my late mother patricia stevens do as a civil rights activist and introduced me to her i think in part because she experienced the trauma of state violence as a civil rights activist in the one nine hundred sixty s. she had tear gas thrown at her and had sensitive egalite for the rest of her life so this is very real trauma and i think my mother and a lot of our mothers frankly and fathers learn to see their horrors on film even when they were black dracula could be the monster but it helps you extract some of that trauma base it and maybe even overcome it but certainly learn how to maybe survive better against it really will live on you tube right now i know this film is very close to a hot elizabeth friends they stop she tells that night of the living dead she says it was revolutionary in that respect of reflecting black culture the black
11:34 pm
experience and also its comments on racial structure tell us about your connection tonight to the living dead and then what it teaches us. so everybody has some deep connection to night of the living dead and i sort of make an argument that i have the deepest connection the monger group i was born and raised in pittsburgh pennsylvania and if people are true who are heads they know that that is the stomping ground where george romero lived where night of the living dead was filmed in in and around pittsburgh and then subsequently dawn of the dead and so this is it had literally lost in the. remeron lessons ok i had so many movies in a line if you didn't grow up with a zombie movie i'm sorry that you didn't but. in a line describe to me for anyone who has not yet seen it but who would put it on their must watch list. ensuring there's a zombie apocalypse and that's actually for me the least interesting part of the
11:35 pm
movie because it's what happens it's a struggle over histories and experiences in human conditions as a group of survivors assemble in a cabin and you see in this sort of nineteen late sixty's one thousand nine hundred sixty eight setting how people are negotiating race and gender and class and power and hierarchies and there are children in this space and all of that as they're simultaneously confronted with death and that is not unlike the hounds of circumstances we sometimes navigate today absent that zombies but we're we're really trying to figure out how to how to communicate with each other and survive let me bring in doughton pill has a right to sew it to the famous film get out a ward wedding director and he talks in this documentary. about what he was trying to did when he made that film get out in terms of who he was making the film for
11:36 pm
havoc. i felt like i want to make the movie that's answering every disappointed black person that goes to a theater and watches you know white protectionists make dumb decisions. and that sense of marginalisation. a sense of can we just if there was a brother that would never happen that would never happen if there was a sister would never let this she would she would be out of the house cannot and ladies in the current crop of films however they are packing the black experience what are you seeing there that maybe you didn't see in films from the sixty's in the seventy's in the eighty's that you'll seeing now. there's just so much you know pitching in hollywood even five ten years ago you would get
11:37 pm
a blank face when you talk about black horror or people a way could think about sort of the stereotypical tropes that we talk about person dies guide now we have black creators like jordan peele actually telling our story and our history through allegory on the screen whether it's directly about race as an get out or about existence and just existing and i us that revolutionary it is just to have black skin on screen that isn't meant to serve a white community but is just now the collective we you know this is the character as we as black people i'm sure people around the world understand if you love hollywood you have to love people who don't look like you right that's how it is but now we're starting to see more faces and more voices in those horror stories let me just bring the. you know i also say if i hopefully since we're in my view have a three way shot i think the most amazing thing about what's happening in the horror
11:38 pm
genre right now is what you see on a screen and that it is black woman magic. the three of us who have contributed in significant ways to beige on run we're and dancing the genre we are represented in the genre and looks like us were changed and we will continue to star and write about war and finally women are taking center stage and i'm so excited to be here with these two other women because this is the future and base of who are rachel and i want to let me put it to you this is from england simpson and she says she echoes this she is a filmmaker she says being a black woman in horror is so important to me my goal is to ensure that women who look like me are included represented and seated in need roles within my beloved go ahead rachel go. back to that black yellow quote who are we we can't see her own reflection right and i mean all different shades and colors of us not just me
11:39 pm
everybody and horror movies have always been a pair of parable parallels for what's happening in the world right we take superheroes became big after nine eleven isn't that interesting right so now we have movies like the perch right literally paralleling what is happening in our america today so i am thrilled to be per unit sitting here with these strong women and creating something because i wonder i haven't seen jordan peals i haven't seen us at all i don't nest i don't know what it's about my wonder is if the other movie was about the white gays honest this movie about our own has also featured in i don't know i'm not saying that's what it is but i'm curious about all these ideas because there's what a movie can do is show us our own stories whether it's harra or a straight you know action movie or whatever but i think cora actually has more
11:40 pm
storytelling in it these days than some of the big temple woman you mentioned the resurgence of women in black women in filmmaking particularly in horror as well i want to show a little clip of a film that's coming up tavia spend sat warning it's scary. to see you to be only an upset look at you. it's the most fun i've met in a long time and. you need to shouldn't watch that your face test because i did recently it's. all said to me but now it seems al of the narratives changing. a lot and i will certainly be focusing more on women i'm very i haven't seen and hopeful for it
11:41 pm
women are certainly taking center stage and heroes and try to you rooms and we have now proven that. black women can spare us in some cases a resurgence but we have always been there and what i mean by black women i also mean this is and she didn't scare flake this is the robinson i didn't say black women always scared people right so. then you got to say like if i say yes that's right out lee i'm scare and strong and i'm a scary blackly i asked around it that in some way or you were actually dispelling the right of the scary black woman and then building another. you know one of the reason is i'm so happy oh. yeah i'm so happy about the timing of harnois are with us coming out in la coming out right after you were able cabbie larry and a lens through which to view these movies of the side oh is this
11:42 pm
a black horror movie or is this a blacks in the horror movie which is the distinction robin makes of her book you know and one is a black story and one is not a black story but it has a black character and i think one of the most exciting things is to have the opportunity to educate as we go because hollywood has a short memory a lot of young people coming and haven't seen candy america right so don't remember why kids e-mail is problematic your whatever so you know i'm just grew up in a classic like candy man without explaining. and you know just setting up because people are going to go off and check out some of these films as you mentioned go ahead what can be made as a horror classic and it is a favorite a lot of people on the panel you know but it's about a black. demon's sort of figure who was murdered lynched basically because of his love for a white woman and returns and present in present day back in the ninety's chicago sort of during the crime bill era when there was
11:43 pm
a lot of emphasis politically on sort of monstrous activity happening in the inner cities so it became kind of their metaphor for fear of the urban right and candy man as an urban legend especially looking lusting after a white woman was reinforcing some very very old tropes that robin rice about so well in her book and we discussed in the documentary so we don't want to is great is that it is to be able to have your own monster and the more variety we have of stories there's room for black monsters as long as we have also black heroes and there was too much of an imbalance in the past so instead it's in candy man the movie which was came out in the early ninety's correct we have candy man and i want to ruin too much but he is kind of terrorizing people black people can bring the green which is a project right so there's something interesting to me about that it really think
11:44 pm
about when i saw it but why we can't demand a black man be torture and other black people i think there were white directors on this movie. where he just in the new remake yeah it'll be different this is go let's go to a black guy and he's the director of the documentary his name he said neal how many still he says. so for me when i think about what excites me the most within black hard honestly is the future this is the idea of seeing people like jordan people with get out in us or to rob me we're going to first purge making their films within black horror unfettered and with support what i'm hoping for more than anything else is that going forward we're going to see more driving murders want to see more joy in people's we're going to see more black folks making black films were in the horror genre and doing it in a way that feels authentic in on this to themselves and i think that's a huge thing a film porter and we need to see more of that going forward i guess what are you
11:45 pm
excited about in terms of films that people should be going to see right now that brutal sums up the context of black experience but in a horror movie still make a little something new cumbersome and allat give us a tip and i don't connect through drew back to the old yes of course absolutely love that's so what i love about the documentary in the book very quickly is that it gives you almost a full history of blacks and workarounds and so even though there is great energy in it we're feeling energized about get out and us and mark the the point is that blacks have been working on since the eight hundred ninety one of the end of the show the fit of our program give us one night what you want to watch. was sounds crazy. as to not what you want us to watch what should be on our must see list eve's bayou. nice right joe listen i'm going to just sit and watch the

you want the news grid to live on air in streaming online through you tube facebook live and at al-jazeera dot com and in front of a un human rights conference in geneva saudi arabia has told the world those responsible for the murder of journalist jamal khashoggi have been brought to justice but once again the kingdom has rejected calls for an international inquiry describing hostages murder inside the saudi consulate in istanbul as quote an accident let's go to geneva now here is neve parker who's been following developments today me. for the plot thickens when it comes to fully understanding what happened surrounding the death of the saudi journalist jamal khashoggi the saudi authorities are under mounting pressure to be much more transparent about exactly what they know and exactly what may or may not have happened in saudi when it comes to prosecuting and finding these apparent perpetrators guilty of his murder well the speech that so was given here in the
11:51 pm
morning by the chair of saudi arabia's human rights council was anything but transparent. it was a brief statement by the head of the saudi human rights commission but it's raised many new questions about the murder of saudi journalist jamal khashoggi the saudi said that the perpetrators of the killing described as an accident have been brought to justice for three hearings attended by their lawyers and observers we have brought them to justice they had a fair trial they are currently detained not their human rights been violated they have been subjected to no form of torture they are entitled to their legal rights but the saudi delegations failure to provide any names or details hasn't inspired much confidence of the human rights council the un's repeatedly called on saudi arabia to cooperate with the u.s. led investigation into the show g.'s murder but the kingdom's refused calling it an internal matter saudi. arabia operates pursuant of international law and does so in
11:52 pm
all transparency therefore what is being conveyed by certain media regarding the need for us to internationalize some of these matters is something we do not accept because such demands amount to interference in our domestic affairs and in our domestic judicial system this activist disagrees if you was the international independent investigation that's mean they are hiding something and what they are hiding very hiding very name for a pair of son or daughter all of this operation of the person who ordered this operation he is still safe and he's still leading the country the saudi crown prince continues to face tough questions from the international community about his alleged role in ordering the killing and other alleged human rights abuses questions the leadership has repeatedly avoided answering what we've seen from the outset since this whole whole saga became became public has a series of obfuscations and denials by saudi arabia some cases where their
11:53 pm
accounts simply do not fit the facts and so it's very difficult to have confidence in their and their narrative the saudi report comes a week after thirty six countries including all twenty eight e.u. nations issued a joint statement condemning saudi arabia's treatment of detained activists ten women's rights activists have gone on trial in saudi including prominent figures in the campaign to win saudi women the right to drive activists say they've been subjected to torture and sexual assaults. so the pressure is really mounting on saudi to try and fill in the gaps in the narrative turkey is demanding that the saudi authorities be clear about exactly who these alleged perpetrators are saudi has made it very clear that it's not prepared to cooperate with the u.n. led international investigation into khashoggi murder it appears for now that the saudis are following the own rules alone. at the u.n.
