then pease's asked a scottish court to decide if the suspension is legal the move comes after boris yeltsin told his opponents they would have to collapse the government to prevent breck's it mr johnson says the u.k. will leave the e.u. by the end of october with or without an agreement let's talk to our correspondent lara see now who's in london and lawrence it's what 24 hours since we learned that boris yeltsin is indeed going to suspend parliament for a period of 5 weeks has a plan emerge then for the opposition parliamentarians. no there at the moment they're trying to work out what their bests approach is and they frankly don't have very much time to do it's their main russa's of of said has been to try to create a law to prevent a no deal breck says and but they don't have very much time to do it because parliament and sitting next week before it's suspended as you say but the other
10:01 pm
problem which is even greater for them is if they want to create a law they can only do it by amending. a government bill that's going through the house of commons and there are no government bills going through the house of commons next week and so on that level what they're running the risk of is being reduced to just having a debate open ended without actually coming to any of the results so that's one problem they've got their alternative strategy would be to try to have a vote of no confidence in the government but if they want to do that they have to suggest an alternative prime minister of an alternative government instead and at the moment that alternative prime minister would be jeremy corbyn the labor party leader and i just don't think that he would get a majority because he would need a lot of conservatives to support him and i just think he's too left wing so in that sense they're really stuck and it's not quite clear to me how they think they're going to do it as you say the legal maneuvers to not just in scotland but in northern ireland and in england as well people are trying to at least
10:02 pm
temporarily block the suspension of parliament for the short term to try to sort of overturn that but you know in terms the problem is that the johnson government has criticised me so radical in its thinking and is out flanks the remaining years in terms of the strategy and tactics they're prepared so adopts that they remain side needs to find something just as radical to take them on a suspect is probably going to be 2 or 3 more days before they come to some sort of joint view as to how it's going to be but they've only got really until next thursday to try to come or come up with some of the. and we also learned today that the leader of the conservative party in scotland ruth davidson has indeed resigned as as was expected and is this part of the fallout from boris johnson's decision to suspend parliament for 5 weeks or more she's going to do that anyway. well there is no she she she has for some time been a been a critic of boris johnson scotland is overwhelmingly support of the european union
10:03 pm
it hates it's the conservative party equally is deeply unpopular laws has been in scotland and so she's been in this trap really where she's been in and popular party trying to promote a deeper and popular policy she has proved herself to be her own woman very outspoken has done very well actually for the conservative party in scotland she said in the end when she resigned that it was partly for personal reasons she's got a new ball ready child and wanted to spend more time with with her family but she also made it very clear along the way that. discomforts we've certainly played a part in it just not the only conservative resignation a very senior concert in the house of lords resigned as well this morning in protest of the provision of suspension of parliament but mostly over all the rest of boris johnson's ministers a bit utterly silent even those who said johnson had himself suspending parliament
10:04 pm
was a bad idea and then are keeping their mouths shut because the cold really defend the argument all right lawrence thanks for that lawrence a our correspondent in london well the speaker of the house of commons he's thrust himself pretty much in the forefront of the campaign against the plan to suspend parliament jumbo has been criticised a breaking with the tradition of staying neutral in a statement he said this move represents a constitutional outrage and went on to say shutting down parliament would be an offense against the democratic process and the rights of parliamentarians as the people's elective represent representatives. well i've been speaking to bobby friedman who is john bercow biographer he says the speaker has more power than anyone else in british politics at the moment to stop or exit. john bercow the current speaker has ripped up that role he has made this a much more political role for example on breck's it he has made it be known that he was that he voted against leaving the e.u.
10:05 pm
and now it's obvious that he is someone who is often the opposed to it so he has taken a role it's called being speaker you generally wouldn't speak that much he on the other hand has given himself an incredibly loud voice and he is now at the forefront of the the effort to stop britain leaving the e.u. and in my view he now has more power than anyone else in british politics to actually stop breck's it so he has an incredibly important role to play in the next few weeks there's a lot he can do the 1st thing is that he can effectively bend the rules of rhythm up to to make use of some parliamentary procedures to allow new laws to be passed that would require boris johnson to go to the e.u. and ask for an extension for the article 50 period to put off put off leaving he could also if there was will in the house of commons and think that there is probably but if there was the will to revoke article 50 to on do correct it he would ensure that there is
10:06 pm
a parliamentary mechanism to do it there is one on one other avenue that he i imagine will use and this is where i think we could end up with a constitutional crisis like no other certainly in my lifetime and in living memory frankly which is that when parliament shuts down boris johnson has now had the order made by the queen the parliament's going to be probed for 5 weeks in my view john bercow will use this as an opportunity to put himself front and center of this effort to stop or excess and i think he will do one of 2 things he will either open up the house of commons and continue to have debates and effectively have a shadow house of commons in the face of what boris johnson only did what the queen has ordered or he was set up another chamber across. the road in another way somewhere and essentially put himself as the figurehead pointing the government so i think we're going to have a faceoff between parliament on the one hand albeit john bercow representing only
10:07 pm
some apartments but one hand and boris johnson the government on the other. lots more to come on this al-jazeera news hour including find out why a south korean court has ordered a retrial in a corruption case involving involving a former president and the top. executive plus. i was all a bit south of most of the city and i'll tell you why more than 300000 people from the city cannot go home. and the french football game haunted by homophobia jay will have the details in sport. and 6 children are among the 13 killed in an airstrike by syrian all russian aircraft on a residential area the attack was in its province which is the last rebel stronghold in the country but a smith reports from antakya close to the turkey syria border and

most powerful business leaders jay wiley's imprisonment in 2017 cents shock waves through south korea. the prospect of him returning to prison is equally traumatic lee was caught up in the corruption scandal that brought down former president park geun hye and her longtime associate choice and still both now serving long prison terms lee was judged to have bribed choi by providing funds to a foundation run by her as well as 3 horses for her daughter's equestrian pursuits but on appeal in 2018 a court ruled that the horses should not be considered as bribes reducing his sentence so he could walk free from prison. again i feel very sorry to everyone for not showing my best side and it has been a really precious time for a year we flecking on myself the supreme court ruling overturned that decision sending the case back to the lower court which could really impose its original
10:11 pm
prison sentence which among the convictions and acquittal of the charges in the original verdict the court seems beg the case involving bribery to the high court and so on. all of this comes at a difficult time for samsung caught in the middle of south korea's deepening trade dispute with its neighbor japan tokyo has imposed restrictions on the export of vital components and raw materials but sound song needs for its high tech manufacturing as it accounts for around 20 percent of south korea's exports that could hurt the country's worsening trade performance samsung's lawyers were quick to express their regret for the possible fallout from the case. i would like to note that the defendants feel very regretful to have caused disappointment and concern to many over this case the case will be heard in the next few months more
10:12 pm
uncertainty to add to samsung's troubles robert bright al-jazeera sold. the philippine president ordering her to ted he is in beijing for talks with the chinese leader xi jinping and it could be a rather tense meeting his attorney says he plans to raise their arrival claims to territory in the south china sea it's got highly reports. the previous 4 meetings if you will that they had here it has been pretty cordial because china is becoming closer to the philippines philippines is making overt efforts to come closer to china as they pivot away from the united states but it also goes into investments and joint projects that they're trying to work out together but this will be different these meetings are expected to be different that is because rhodri go to tara to i said before coming here to beijing he said that he is going to bring up this world court tribunals decision back in 2016 that side with the philippines over territory that china said was theirs this 9 dash line. territory that they
10:13 pm
says is theirs there was a recent study 51 percent of the filipinos asked in this survey that was part of the study said that they have little trust for china and this is all a lot of that's based on some recent incidents obviously the court case and how china has rejected the court case and the ongoing territorial disputes but they've also been incidents and one recently just in june where a fishing boat a philippine fishing boat was rammed by a chinese vessel and $22.00 fishermen were thrown overboard and they were in the sea the chinese vessel left and was rescued they were rescued by a vietnamese vessel so that obviously isn't really going over well with the people in the philippines but what's interesting even though the way that he's been handling his relationship with china he is still very popular in the philippines over 80 percent approval rating for him so even though he's getting criticism for some of the ways he's handling the china situation overall his popularity is there but it will be interesting to see how and what tone this subject this sticky
10:14 pm
subject is brought up in these meetings. brazil's president diable sonata has called for more development in the amazon and that's despite international condemnation of his handling of a record number of wildfires it's believed that the fires are a result of illegal farming and locking these local government officials say they don't have enough resources to stop the new reports from the northwestern state of their own donya. it takes a tough 3 to hack a living from the searing hot inhospitable amazon. they come to recap to learn to plant soya yams much else besides they do so legally but the vulnerable in this huge pool the peace region to illegal speculators. they're grabbing all of that area part of the john marine nature reserve they're grabbing everything and the word is they will cut everything down and if they do then they'll set it on fire it. this man said he feared for his life in his identity was revealed saying
10:15 pm
neither the police nor the authorities have the resources to protect him from neighbors who covered his land just when the president is being called upon to do more by the international community and some of those living here to do more to defend the amazon he moves in the opposite direction he invites more developments which many living here feel both the environment and themselves a greater risk. president says too much of this forest is protected neither nature reserves or indigenous reservations the poverty awaits those who don't take advantage. but this rancher said he thought there had been enough deforestation. on has to have cattle we don't need to deforest anything else though just take care of the lands that are already deforested take care of the rivers of the spring this cattle is what we live from. however he said he doesn't blame the president for the lang grabs or the fire as he believes the region is simply too big to police
10:16 pm
despite the efforts of the local authorities. crime happens everywhere however our policies have been positive. but because of the size of the state and the way its land is occupied our policies will take time to work to guarantee security in both urban and rural areas. other small farming can and should only be done in a sustainable way. some people don't respect the law and this creates a bad image of our country abroad but we keep fighting for local farmers who work with nature the ecosystem so that we can all survive. the battle for the land has been raiding since the arrival of the 1st europeans the dream that in this vast country there is enough for every one of the shattered by greed corruption and poor management daniel schlyter al-jazeera state northwest of the bill. of. rights it's time for the weather here is rob and it's all about dorian the

a vote of no confidence in prime minister boris johnson who on wednesday announced that he will suspend polymers until mid october a group of m.p.'s has asked the scottish court to decide if the suspension is legal . if it is prime minister does it become to set to keep his job he's been given a mandate to form a new government by the president after a breakthrough in coalition told us. now former members of colombia's revolutionary armed forces all the fog say that they will take up arms again despite a landmark peace deal which was signed just 3 years ago event as it was a high ranking commander of the rebel group made the announcement in a video that was pasted on wednesday he says a new phase of armed struggle will begin and accuses the government of not sticking to the 2016 agreement the deal ended more than 50 years of conflict. when we signed the agreement to savannah we did it with the conviction that it was
10:22 pm
possible to change the lives of the humble and the dispossessed but the state has not fulfilled even the most important of the obligations that is to guerin. the life of its citizens and particularly to prevent the a murder for political reasons all of this this truck this betrayal this perfidy the unilateral modification of the text of the accord the unfulfilled commitments on the part of the state the judicial sit ups and insecurity have obliged us to return to the mountains but let's go live now to our correspondent alison to ram p.r.t. who is in bogota the colombian capital and alice sandra sounds from the from the perspective of even mark is that things have gone terribly wrong in just 3 years since the signing of this peace deal. well my team that's what he said it is video calling for a return to the arms case was the lead negotiator of the peace talks
10:23 pm
between the colombian state and this rebel group he was always part of the most radical wing of the rebels organization and he had disappeared now over a year ago eluding charges of drug trafficking continuing to be involved in drug trafficking since the signing of the peace deal the same is true for the other commander that is seen standing at his side in this video his son treats together they were the 2 commanders that always had the biggest doubts about going further with this with these negotiations and reaching a deal now i think that it's important here to say that the majority of the former rebel fighters remain committed to peace to lead their the overall leader of the again he's ation of the day going on don't you know better known as
10:24 pm
a human shame cause said that this is a shame he said he is extremely sorry but that this is the station just a number of former rebels not the organization as that as a whole and not more than 8009000 former fighters that have given up their weapons are not committed to peace the question is though what this new dissident organization that was already operating but that's trying today has been now formalized through this media or will be able to do how much damage they will be able to to do in there from parts of the country will they be able to recruit more former busy rebels that might also be unhappy with how these peace in the go should be with their. limitation of the peace deals that the lays and the fact because this is a very complex political situation here that the current government of president is
10:25 pm
very right wing and has really trying to change the chords unilaterally right that was actually what i was going to ask you alessandra because this is a deal that was negotiated was made by one man while santos the former president it's now been inherited if you like by event do kay who as you say comes is rice's center i'm wondering whether that has brought about a certain difference in terms of commitment to the peace accord as a consequence of the changing complection of government. well again i'd say that the great majority of the former rebel to remain committed to the majority of the leadership of what is now a legal political party remain committed to to peace they want peace they want the implementation of these accords to happen. there's no doubt that there have been a lot of delays hundreds of former 5 rebels have been killed in regions and
10:26 pm
territories that were before under fire could influence also a number of community leaders human rights defenders in these regions that are trying to work in the implementation of the deal bringing forth reforms or also. operating in the substitution programs where they're trying to work with the farmers there that are growing coca crops that main ingredient for cocaine and switch to legal crops that have been often killed by armed groups that are operating in these regions that are interested in these very profitable illegal economies such as drug trafficking or illegal gold mining for example and there's no doubt that the government hasn't done enough to protect these people it's also true that especially when it comes to very important reforms like i would call to reforms that are part of this peace deal nothing truly has happened so far so let's
10:27 pm
say that even marquez has. of course. he's right in this scribing the situation but it's unclear what returning to war could mean and there's no possibility and i think they know this to truly reach power in the country at this point. the life and by the tough thank you. that's been 6 weeks since a power sharing agreement was signed between sudan's military and protest leaders that many of the young people who led the pro-democracy protests remain skeptical and say their revolution has been derailed al-jazeera is mohamed volleyballs from the capital khartoum. there's an atmosphere of peace in khartoum digits not bullets are flying in public squares the outdoor time much cherished here is back even book sales are improving says come out humbly it's been in the business for 30 years but

civil wars and state censorship have kept his sales down canal is skeptical about the new political agreement but it doesn't meet the aspirations of the people especially the young few for the regime leaders are being held responsible for their actions the young generation was under represented and into talks what's being done may well lead to a reproduction of the crisis this man is even more vocal most and i live in the it's too early to celebrate protests need to continue our revolution is hijacked through a soft landing agreement by political entities that jumped on the bandwagon at the last minute and took us into talks of a power sharing the process is also conducted by western powers they brought people with 0 knowledge about sudan to rule us. i'm now standing at the center of khartoum a place seemingly always in time with 0 progress colonial days only it's filled with a new generation of people born in the situation and crises under the regime of the

10:31 pm
and there are no jobs a solid binge of aid reports now from the camp for the displaced in mosul. life in a tent is exposed to all kinds of weather but even these makeshift homes are a blessing for hundreds of thousands of iraqis from mosul what used to be iraq's 2nd largest city. 11 year old with months old dan was blinded in one eye and suffered nerve damage when he was hit by a mortar shrapnel. is now mentally challenged our house in mosul was leveled life is so hard and i can't go home there is nothing there here in the camp we have access to services i can't pay the rent outside the tent the people of mosul from north to south are the victims of this war these women he tends don't provide much protection against the elements but more than 300000 people continue to live in tents like the many tried to go back to mosul but then came back to camps because at least here they get some security safety as well as food and electricity. in

mosul alone $138000.00 homes were destroyed while some of the repaired more than $50000.00 are still flattened after the bombardment it will take many years and billions of dollars to reconstruct and the displaced have nowhere else to go the number one reason that we hear is that their homes are still destroyed that they simply cannot afford to rebuild their hoping for assistance from the international community and the government but it's just. so far insufficient in addition to the destruction most of these families carry the stigma of having lived and derisively the mostly sunni muslims who fled mosul are viewed with suspicion and seen by some as i see collaborators that lack of trust is an obstacle to the return of the displaced the un's migration body says revenge killings enter tally action against those suspected of links with ice and threaten to trigger new cycles of intercommunal violence the organization managing this camp didn't allow us full access our guides took notes of what people were telling us in phone someone to
