narrowly retained by the labor party during the 2016 the referendum 60 percent of voters in peterborough backed leaving the bloc despite differing opinions across our city the fact that the threats of party have been rejected here in pizza brother shows that the policy. shows that the politics of division will not quit. this is a result for every community in pizza pereira. tonight's victory is significant because it was shown that the politics of hope can win. regardless of the arts leader of the labor party says that the vote shows people are concerned with issues beyond briggs others say the poll spells trouble for britain's 2 main parties jonah hill reports now from peace and. well a failure of the break to party perhaps in this. election in peterborough but

certainly not i think a failure of the brakes if party expectations were of course extremely high that they would win here particularly after their showing in the european parliamentary elections just a fortnight ago an extraordinary victory for them there but of course it was not to be but look at the bigger picture here this is a part of the british party founded just a couple of months ago off the back of extreme anger by many voters a reason made conservative party and its failure to deliver breaks of the break that party offers only that breaks if it's a single issue party no other campaign message no other policies tremendously alluring to the great many voters in this country who feel so passionately about rights and it's led by nigel farage a controversial politician a friend of the president of the united states he held private meetings with donald trump just this week and indeed in those european parliamentary elections 2 weeks ago as i said they 1st out of all the national political parties here sending 29 m. e d's to brussels while the conservative party some to their worst national

election result in the party's 200 year history and here in peterborough coming a very close 2nd in trying to send an m.p. to westminster losing by just under 700 votes as a vanishingly small margin i think make no mistake and the other parties will now make no mistake the briggs's party has become and remains a significant feature new feature on the british political landscape britain's prime minister to resign is officially stepping down as leader of the conservative party she'll continue to. as prime minister while the party chooses her successor 11 m.p.'s are competing in the race they announced her resignation 2 weeks ago after parliament voted down her briggs the deal for a 3rd time al-jazeera is lawrence lee joins us now live from westminster in central london what it granted. an extension to britain's briggs's deadline the e.u. advised the country to use the time wisely lawrence and yet here we are about to

embark upon a 6 week campaign for leadership of reason may's party. yes but of course when donald tusk in the people of the european union said that that was before the break suppose he really came into existence and i think one of the many things you could you can say about nigel farage in the brics it part is that it's a measure of its success in the short time it's been around that its failure to actually win in pisa burner last night is now being seen as something of a failure it is it is that that the messaging is so over incredibly simple bricks it now and worry about everything else as genocide is very alluring for people one of the problems i think the brics the party had in peterborough is that he just doesn't have any data and so the labor party was able to send loads of activist team and target specific specific blocks of voters and get out them whereas the party sent outs of his in and they didn't quite know who to go for but they still

run the labor party incredibly close and there's a poll out today for the times newspaper here that suggests that in sums of general westminster voting intentions the party is in the lead on 26 percent and then you've got labor in the liberal democrats both on 20 percent and the conservatives back and forth on the on 18 so we're now really into absolutely 4 party politics if not 5 if you count the greens who are nearly on 10 percent as well and and this creates enormous difficulties for the conservatives and the labor party because the conservatives are looking at bret's party say well what we did is stop them and the labor party's under enormous pressure from its own base to support the liberal democrat position and not leave the european union it's all so those 2 main parts of being dragged in opposite directions to each other and it makes things incredibly confusing and to go back to your original points about not wasting time and figuring out how to leave the european union or whatever else is going to do we know closer now than that we were when donald has made those remarks in the spring

and as far as the leadership election for the the governing conservative party is concerned only a few conservative party members get to choose who become effectively partners next prime minister but out of the candidates appeal to the conservative members who choose the next leader. yeah if you go back to the brits it party again and its influence on all this in a way that matter that much that the party doesn't have a single policy a manifesto anything other than leaving the european union because it's undermining the conservative party from within and consequently everybody almost every one of the leading candidates who wants to be the next prime minister later the conservative policy is being dragged by the brics party and into almost supporting their position of a heart out on october the 31st and you know in that sense of policy if it gets a can just explode itself and say it's mission accomplished and but but but the

problem for all these people is a keep saying is it ignores the fact that there are enough conservative politicians who will not countenance no deal if say boris johnson or someone like that is elected as conservative party leader and stands up and says this is what i'm going to do that would almost certainly be a vote of no confidence in the person immediately as as they take office and if the conservatives lose that then the government collapses under the house of a general election anyway and that makes these choices for the conservative party membership in probably difficult because instinctively they want to go for it but at the same time they got to weigh that against the probability of a general election which at the moment looks like it will be won by jeremy corbyn and that is so toxic for them that they can hardly bear to think about ok one other thing to ask you about laura's the high cost. a case against boris johnson who is the the front runner for leadership of the conservative party over claims that he made during the break that campaign. yeah he also

was one of a number of leading back but before the referendum is one of things that won the referendum for leave the n.h.s. the treasured british national health service will get a dividend of 350000000 pounds a week if if the u.k. leaves the european union but then as soon as the referendum is one for leave they will rein back and it's a wash after all and so if someone was so angry about this that they want to take boris johnson to court for lying to the public well you know the judges are now throwing the case out pretty soon on the grounds that what earth would happen if a politician got taken so course every time the lights of the public this place be empty wouldn't it something on lawrence many thanks indeed how does it was laurence leigh live in westminster this time yesterday we were talking about the weather throwing everything but the kitchen sink and parts of the united states it seems that the risk is still present but moving eastwards tell us boys meteorologist rob mccallum yes we're going to pick up with the flood story because the spring floods now some of floods run all the major rivers i'm not talking about tornados now this

is just flood water and it's now affecting oklahoma not just the states but the capital city oklahoma city so a fairly familiar sight we've picked this up this sort of video from many of the states more or less from nebraska science was and the eastward as well for months on and now the risk is moving eastwards largely because the rain is easing to some degree and the weather sometimes volunteers it was in the downpours the last 2 days only about 62 millimeters floodwaters from upstream but memphis at 98 meters should give you a clue as to why i'm saying the risk is moving if your satellite picture of the last 24 hours or so though it's curling to some degree it is definitely moving eastwards and the center of low pressure now when you see that over particularly u.s. for you drawing gulf wars up i was circulation if he will that's going to produce something quite substantial and you would be right to think that this is the picture more or less as we got in the next 1824 hours or so. the winds up here and

down here show circulation the green is the rain that are run 24 hours ahead using but it's moving eastwards when it starts to come back roads again so from the florida panhandle right up to kentucky that's 3 days of rain still to come. rob many thanks indeed still to come here on the news more international pressure on the philippines government. to stop its deadly war on drugs. will examine the run of catholic stance growing youth movements in the upcoming presidential elections. and in sports the louis blues are just one win away from lifting their 1st ever stanley cup trophy. she was black gay i'm from rio de janeiro's have ellis she was also an elected outspoken councilwoman. until she was assassinated.

hello again adrian for the good here in doha with the news from al-jazeera the headlines the o.p.'s prime minister of the al that is in sudan to broker talks between pro-democracy protesters and the and the un is pushing for human rights monitoring team to be deployed over the recent crackdown on protesters. the u.s. congress is pushing back on president trump's move to fast track the sale of american weapons to saudi arabia a new york times report says that it could give riyadh access to technology to produce its own high tech bombs. the u.n. says that at least 4000000 people have left it as well or it's worsening economic. completable crises it says that the figure should be a wake up call for the world to see nations hosting that as well and refugees.

on top story the mediation efforts by ethiopia's prime minister to solve the crisis in sudan. is a lecturer specializing in east african politics and law at kiel university in the u.k. he says the mediation efforts by al b.l. that might be the best chance to bring long term stability to saddam. the sudanese political landscape is different from the political landscape there are. with significant interest when it comes to done but i think if there is one single individual or a single country at the moment who has the credibility the political weight and also the international originally good message to bring these 2 sides together in sudan it is the g.o.p.'s prime minister and the ethiopian state if you like of for example other powerful actors in the region egypt for example all of those east of the. and the u.a.e. those are all the seen as parties that vested interests who are by some people held

us responsible for the current stalemate so i think you would be a very influential player in the region as states that is acting on behalf of the african union and it stands a very good chance and this is i think the most important opportunity for the 2 sides to come together so far i think the most important principle which the african union and the rest of the international community also set out is is the importance of transferring power to a civilian lead transitional authority this is what the protest movement have been demanding what the. people broadly have been demanding the african union peace and security council in its statement yesterday made it very clear that the sudanese have to be the sole author of their destiny. the un security council has been told that a state actor is likely responsible for an attack on the oil tankers of the u.a.e.

president donald trump has deployed warships and b. $52.00 bombers to the region citing an unspecified threat from iran and there's been an escalating series of rhetoric and accusations. u.s. national security adviser john bolton has accused iran of attacking the vessel's he's long been calling for regime change into one and u.s. secretary of state my pump aoe says it's possible to her alleged attack was an attempt to raise the price of oil the saudi ambassador to the u.n. also blamed iran but iran's foreign minister rejects the accusations as ludicrous and is calling for an investigation in a tweet he left little doubt about who he thinks is responsible accusing the israeli intelligence agency mossad of fabricating information to link to her and to the attacks russia's deputy ambassador to the u.n. says the investigation should continue we shouldn't jump to conclusions to want to know in the face if you will it is very you know no no you know nobody cares we're

. losing so we will be continuing to no name no iran no you will be going to blame iraq is no more than a blame and he has to guess you were going to get you but that's going to do you video photo you believe in their investigation. so far no one has presented evidence of their claims all of this comes after the u.s. reimposed sanctions on the rainy and oil exports after withdrawing from the 2050 nuclear deal last year iran has since begun rolling back on some of its commitments under the nuclear deal the 3 countries who presented this report say the attacks endangered commercial navigation and the security of global energy supplies it al-jazeera russia and the u.s. are all over who's to blame for a near miss between 2 warships in the east china sea both countries are blaming each other of unsafe actions to the vessels came within 50 meters of each other

at the same time both nations china and russia are going to normal times when the united states president clinton used the strongest language u.s. efforts to dominate the world market is a recipe for conflicts and wars and he mentioned as an example where he says he sees this as enough to push the company out of the market. the current model of economic relations is unfortunately in crisis mode and this crisis is of a comprehensive nature problems here been accumulating over the recent decades and these issues are of far greater scale of magnitude than we thought before. the u.s. dollar has to be revisited it used to be the world's reserve currency but right now it's turned into a tool of issuing country to be used to pressure the rest of the world i think that is the error of financial and political authorities because trust in the u.s. dollar is falling. president xi jinping use less strong language but he made it

very clear that competing is not the way to go but we have to unite all our efforts basically a strong message to the united states to work together he was talking about honest competition multilateral trade system and mutual respect and you talked at length about his efforts to make all the developments to stay and green. chip will be under the circumstances with the world is facing very tough challenges coming from geo political issues such as environmental pollution and climate change we're far from achieving the ultimate objective where every individual would gain access to sustainable and reliable sources of energy we're in for a long and difficult journey to achieve energy security and promote the transformation of our energy systems being made to energy powers in the world russia and china to act together and develop multilateral cooperation play a constructive role in the system of global energy resource management and make a bigger contribution to global energy development and president xi jinping also

managed to quote a famous russian writer dust and he said beauty will save the world so preserving nature is the future of our planet that was the strong message that he had to give here at the simply just form he will leave russia today leaving behind promises for even more trade between the 2 nations in the future. un human rights experts to mounting an investigation into the war on drugs by the president of the philippines they're accusing the drink of the tap say of inciting violence against drug dealers as well as intimidating judges and degrading women human rights watch estimates that at least 12000 filipinos upon killed since to turn his campaign began in 2016 richard head down and is a political scientist and author of the book the rise of 2 tatay he says that calls for an inquiry could be a lifeline for the political opposition in the philippines this is important

because it's sending a signal to the libyan government that even though you may be more art than ever domestically even though president a 3rd this place are not even in charge of the legislature and even though there's not much of a chance for institutional checks and balances at home at least internationally there could be a movement on that front the audit thing we're looking at is the possibility of the international criminal court also stepping into the picture we were expecting that earlier this year during the 1st quarter of this year the i.c.c. will call me that kind of a decision of whether they're going to investigate president there and install these outlets for it with actual crimes against humanity we may see that a little bit later use year so i think this is one of the last straw or want some to a few last straw there that the domestic liberal human rights groups and opposition get all done and at least also signal to determine that there could still be that we are of accountability comes maybe not this year maybe next year but over to short run the longer comrades photos in kazakhstan of going to the polls on sunday

a managed election. but some activists are calling on voters to boycott the poll saying it won't change anything this election 1st meeting with this system is weak because one person can decide for whole continent what we're trying to do now is convince enough people to speak out i mean them more people will speak out thomas the train people will be ready maybe they call themselves only end in kazakh meaning wake up a new civic movement demanding democratic freedom but taking a long view how. this works out in a given point table and the action that will bring real change here. at the 1st stage just to make sure that everyone in this country clearly understand what kind of step should be taken to change the political system and what kind of political

system should be in this country to tackle the problems of the current authoritarian regime. young activists have been arrested and jailed but it's helped raise their profile and their social media posts are attracting thousands of followers from the meister. but this. is a network of supporters but that support exists largely in cyberspace and yet in large numbers on the streets. this symbolic run towards truth was organized and supported online but only a few jokers took part. so here we are that after the election your thirties may try to crush this movement unless the youth you know pace them in that pursuit change ruben for a steelworker al-jazeera. protesters are gathering in liberia's capital

monrovia as president george weah struggles to revive the economy we are came to power 18 months ago campaigning on promises to create jobs and fight corruption but a protest coalition says the president has done little to improve the daily lives. paley is a liberian political analyst she says that some of the protest leaders may have ulterior motives i think ordinary citizens who will show up today for this protest have genuine concerns about their economic state right there their livelihoods being threatened but i think there are also a lot of political motives that i find to be quite problematic so a number of the protest leaders who are heads of the council of patriots i think have dubious motivations some of them are members of the previous administration some of them are members of the administration of charles taylor who was a rebel leader turned president many of whom.
