12:10 am
as leader of the scottish conservative she was in the job for 8 years on wednesday labor leader jeremy corbett described johnson's move as quote a smash and grab on our democracy when the opposition is now calling for an emergency debates in parliament what we've got them a group of experts trust that he's taking legal advice looking to see next we have a week introduction of legislation to prevent. him our well being that boris johnson does try and trigger a general election on his own terms but we'll make sure that if there is a general election it will be on our terms as well and also part will make the decision about the timing of we will be dictated to anymore by a dictator in numbers and parliament is reasserting the traditional centuries old democratic rights of the people. well lawrence they has more now from london. well of all the fireworks of wednesday and boris johnson's announcement that he's
12:11 am
suspending parliament for a fall 5 weeks all the pressure now is on the anti breck's its side the side that doesn't want to the study doesn't want boris johnson's version of brecht's it to figure out what they're going to do to try to block him and the main problem they have against them is the absolute lack of time because with parliament being suspended from just over a week from now there are only about 3 parliamentary sitting days for them to come up with something their main line of attack continues to be to try to pass a law that would prevent a no deal breck's it at the end of october and ask for an extension from the european union but the problem with that is that if they want to pass a law they have sue amend a government bill going through parliament and if the government doesn't propose any bills go through parliament then there is nothing for them to amend and as it stands at the moment there isn't anything for them to amend in parliament next week and so how then can they pass
12:12 am
a law if that doesn't work their other alternative is to force a vote of no confidence in the government next week which they could do but if they want to do that they have to propose an alternative government with norton it's of prime minister because if the government of the day were to lose a vote of confidence then the opposition would have 2 weeks to form a new government. honestly reporting there from london where former members of colombia's revolutionary armed forces or fark say they will take up arms again despite a landmark peace deal signed 3 years ago ivan marcuse who was a high ranking commander of the rebel group made the announcement in a video posted 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 60 years of conflict. where we live and when we signed the agreement of havana we did it with the conviction that it was 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 guarantee

12:14 am
a president who care who has openly campaigned to change the meaning of the forest of this peace deal so in many ways even marcus and his 2 said 3. former commanders of the 5 who are now calling for a restart of the arms struggle they're making some fair points about the government trying to undermine the peace deal the question is of course here what they are expecting to do what will they be able to do how many people do they really represent so many former combatants that are willing to pick up arms again and restart their fight against the colombian government and the can on the state we don't know what will happen of course and then in coming days both iran markets and that his 2 sentries always represented the most radical wing of the rebel organizations they are the ones that created the most of the issues during the

saxony. michael is a man in a hurry he's been leading saxony for the past 5 years he's now in a race to persuade voters to give him another 5 he is a deeply conservative state perhaps more so than anywhere else in germany so on a summer day in bautzen his message is clear. saxony is a strong state if we get a reasonable government we can deal with all the challenges we face better than almost any other state in germany and people will see that we have the courage at the strength to say things as they are i want the free state of saxony to carry on in its sex and way i think. the challenge for michael is not persuading the party faithful here in. the. party of the right trying to win back some of that other is called the alternative

12:25 am
power in lebanon its opponents accuse it of doing iran's bidding in the proxy war with israel. the months long war in 2006 was sparked by a cross border raid in which has valar killed and captured israeli soldiers there is now the possibility of a new confrontation hezbollah says it will not reveal details of its. planned retaliation and its timings but there are those who believe it will likely be a calculated response in order to avoid all out war. israel's response is not guaranteed back in 2006 the lebanese government disavowed itself from hezbollah today it is a different dynamic and israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu is warning the lebanese state it will be held responsible for hezbollah's actions. beirut well howie fawcett has more now from gaza. as israeli troops are on high alert near

12:27 am
the iranian revolutionary guards could force they say that program has been ramped up in recent months and that puts a new slant on that suspected drone attack early on sunday there were reports that it targeted and important component piece of this missile program israel is also saying that the lebanese government must challenge this practice it says that it's destabilizing lebanon and the region and it says that lebanon will be held accountable for actions on its soil south korea's supreme court has ordered a retrial in the bribery case against samsung boss jay it's part of a corruption scandal which cell president park geun hye impeached and removed from office back in 2017 but mcbride has more now from seoul. as one of the country's most powerful business leaders jay wiley's imprisonment in 2017 sent shock waves through south korea. the. prospect of him returning to prison is equally traumatic
12:28 am
lee was caught up in the corruption scandal that brought down former president park geun hye and her longtime associate choice. both now serving long prison terms lee was judged to have bribed choy 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 prison sentence which among the convictions and acquittal of the charges in the

a decree banning the practice of burning land for clearing it the ban will remain in effect for the next 2 months but sonar is also calling for more development in the amazon that is despite international condemnation of his handling of a record number of wildfires danielle swimmer reports from the northwestern state of around the area. it takes a tough 3 to hack a living from the searing hot inhospitable amazon. they come to rick kaplan to plant soya yams and 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 if his identity was revealed say 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
12:31 am
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 or put both the environment and themselves a greater risk. president says too much of this forest is protected the the 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 de force 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 all the fires he believes the region is simply too big to police despite the efforts. the local authorities are cast on the can only damage crime happens
12:32 am
everywhere however our policies have been positive sort of far 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 farmer stressed that 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 land has been rating since the arrival of the 1st europeans the dream that is boss country there is enough for everyone to shattered by greed corruption important achievement and there are others here are your state north west of the veil. and we're joined now by today's a bull who is live from port of ale that's the capital of braille brazil's ramdani a state series that despite all the international outcry but also naro want to go
12:33 am
ahead with more development even in these protected areas why. well that's the president's strategy that was what he said during his campaign and now he's definitely fulfilling his promises he's calling that he would like to see more exploration in the amazonas not totally unregulated territory but also there's this big debate about what will happen in national park in indigenous territories among other things what we have seen in the past a week it's a change in the president's discourse mostly because of international pressure from the very beginning he did night that there was a problem that there's been an increase in the fires here in the amazones later on he blamed for what was happening and then because of international pressure he ended up sending the military what the president is doing right now is basically he banned for 60 days through a decree any typos fired in the amazonian region this is the amount of time that the dry season lasts in brazil which is prone to see this type of fire farmers and
12:34 am
people here are authorized to burn certain parts of the land if they have licenses but what environmental agencies are basically saying environmentalists are saying that they already regulations there are already laws that protect the amazon so that they're already not being implemented i meant what makes the situation even worse is for example that brazil's environment agency this is known as is basically right now being banned talking to journalists they're banned from releasing informations and their budget has also been cut down what we've been told by some of their officials is that they do not have the resources they do not have any copters they do not have trucks in order to go inside the jungle fied those legal that are doing it and burning rain for some fire to fight them back so basically what they're also saying is that the president's discourse is definitely not helping out and it seems in a way to reason that the things are disconnected it was interesting in daniel's
12:35 am
piece there to hear one of the ranchers saying that he doesn't blame because frankly from his point of view the area is just too big to piece in the 1st place. well and it's different be interesting what's been happening in brazil because many of the people who voted for bulls are not are not because agree with many of his now environmental policies but basically because they voted against the legacy of us workers' party and that's been something that we have seen through the brazil people basically voting not for votes or not oh but against something else and that's. so it's we will have to see exactly what happens and how this definitely affects his image among those who once supported him but there's certainly lots of concern about what's happening here and even among those that wants or that voted for him because the perception is that the rain forest here is like a real state 1000 ector's of land that's been burned and destroyed cost about $200000.00
12:36 am
and what people are telling us is that they've got the precedence discourse as i said before he's basically encouraging logos and miners to take more land and the big question is how is this going to stop to resemble they're joining us from port vale in brazil to reason thank you. still ahead here. they will tell you about the . marge as the way that's coming up in sports.
