southern separatists backed by the way i sold blamed for sri separate suicide attacks in gaza leaving 3 police officers day. the end of a 15 day journey climate activists greater sumburgh arrives in new york after crossing the atlantic in and 0 carbon. thank you for joining us there has been anger in the u.k. after the prime minister boris johnson moved to suspend parliament the controversial decision which affects the ability of opponents to block a no deal breaks it opposition politicians are calling it a constitutional coupe and this is how it will all play out well the queen has approved boris johnson's request to prorogue or suspend parliament so that will happen sometime between september 9th and 12 now it is normal for a new government to close parliament for
6:50 am
a short period in the run up to the queen's speech on october the 14th a speech which sets out plans for the coming year but the prime minister wants parliament to shut earlier than normal he'll be out of action for 5 weeks that's the longest suspension since 1945 and that limits the amount of time and p's have to block a no deal breaks it or table a vote of no confidence in the government the u.k. due to leave the e.u. just 17 days later or ensley has more. brix it was is and remains an idea about the british parliament taking back control of the agenda setting its own laws and making its own rules so what to make of the decision by the new prime minister to block it from sitting at all for a 5 week period at the most crucial moments in the entire process with one eye on a very possible national election boris johnson insists it's about setting out his new government's plans and that m.p.'s are not being frozen out of having their say
6:51 am
over bricks it will be full time on both sides of that crucial october 17th summit ample time in parliament for m.p.'s to debate the e.u. debate breaks it and all the other issues ample time but those m.p.'s who have vowed to do anything in their power to block a no deal bricks it's even threaten to set up an alternative parliaments if their views are ignored describe the johnson move as nothing short of a constitutional outrage a step on the road to dictatorship it is a constitution that rage this is an attempt by a prime minister who was elected by a very small number of people in the country is served to party membership to ride roughshod over parliament and prevent any legislation or debate that would stop this country leaving me you without a deal and all the problems that it will cause he seems to want to run headlong into the arms of donald trump it's more determination to see this before this is
6:52 am
extraordinary johnson had been thought to have been getting on better with european leaders of late and hope had not been lost among them that some new deal could be found but time is now extremely short and there's a genuine sense of crisis among those who fear the hardest of bricks it's the great conundrum of a brecht it has always been whether it should simply fall to government through execute the will of the people or whether parliamentarian should have some kind. of final say to determine what sort of breck's it they think people actually voted for by taking m.p.'s out of play at such a crucial time johnson is effectively testing whether they have the will the resolve to try to overthrow him his government and potentially the referendum result as well that attempts will now probably come sooner rather than later national elections will almost certainly follow something surely must happen now to resolve this sense of democratic crisis in the u.k.
6:53 am
lawrence lee al-jazeera london well we've barker has been monitoring reaction and protests at westminster. and past 2 years since the bronx referendum the conversation the public discourse surrounding leaving the e.u. has grown uglier and uglier who would have thought only a few years ago that the word coup would be used in relation to britain's democracy but that's exactly what these demonstrates the calling the decision by boris johnson to suspend or paroch parliament next week the whole boris johnson of course sees it he sees it very much in somewhat procedural terms as a way of making sure the m.p.'s are out of the way holding the equation anymore to make sure that the british government can pass much needed legislation when it comes to the humdrum day to day stuff of running the country things like roads education health care and so on and so forth but these people and those opposed to leaving the e.u. without a deal strongly disagree with that standpoint point believing very much that boris
6:54 am
johnson wants to keep leaving the e.u. without a deal on the table until the dying moments just before october 31st which remains of course in legislation when the u.k. still will leave the european union according to m.p.'s the knives poke into including hilary ban the prominent opposition labor m.p. who is the chair of the cross party committee on leave in the european union they intend when m.p.'s return to palma next week to challenge the position very much in the same way that they challenge to reason may and her vision of bricks it is what every band had to say a little earlier i think the priority is to prevent or no deal breaks it because that's the reason that he is doing this he knows that isn't probably a majority in the house of commons to support him for a no deal breaks it and he's trying to make it very difficult for m.p.'s to stop
6:55 am
him from achieving that the only problem is that time is running out m.p.'s only have a matter of days next week to coalesce around a single idea boris johnson believes that he's delivering the will of the people all knowing the results of the referendum but parliamentarian say that they represent the real will of the people they will fight this to the end. well earlier i spoke to a suburban it rex a commissioning editor at the telegraph newspaper in london he says boris johnson's move is legitimate and it could spark progress with the e.u. talks her majesty the queen the head of state has and door says this is legitimate is a constitutional procedure so all the sort of 100 unconstitutional gripes. they've been dismissed by the queen she finds acceptable we know there's no greater authority than her the key thing for you leaders is they want to see that boris johnson is ready and able to take something through paul that he can take on and pays them some ways this may encourage
6:56 am
a quiet hope that he's worked out how to do this because amid all this from about those just dictator with the constitutional arguments and all the excitement one thing is being missed the boat with the queen's speech that boris johnson wants to have to kick off the new parliament the withdrawal agreement bill that he wants to have and that this means that he could possibly draw agreement something that he couldn't do under john buckers rules given the dream was previously rejected 3 times not to the speaker of the house of commons rules you can't have another go with the same legislation italy looks set to have a new government after a breakthrough in coalition talks the head of the opposition democratic party says he's ready to govern with the 5 star movement we call it in getting the says his party will accept the 5 star can that it is a welcome thing the prime minister once again italian president said of him at that island has summoned the outgoing call there for a meeting on thursday morning signaling he is likely to receive a mandate to try and form
