and about the situation in hong kong no government anywhere should get to shut down rights and freedoms or to pick and choose which laws it is to we urge will here the chinese government to stick up sic to the joint declaration of 19 eighty-four and stand up for the rights of citizens in hong kong. this is fake out latest 800 hours g.m.t. here are now al-jazeera 4 pm in the british capital london as we watch the leader of the opposition labor party jeremy corben currently responding to a statement given by prime minister barak johnson which began about half an hour currently moving on to international issues to do with iran and obviously europe as well the main discussion of course has been about briggs it and just what will happen with. the attempts to stop an ideal break that and perhaps the most well here's parsed johnson let's have a listen to his reply that the right on the road with those pulau that to this
6:01 pm
country has engaged actively with our european friends and partners after european friends and partners to make sense of the iran nuclear deal and to ensure that deal continues and he will know that the f.c.a. right around the world from the foreign secretary continues to work actively to secure the release and not just an as news got a record put all the very sad consular cases they were currently dealing with in iran i paid tribute to him into their work to the work of all his officials i mr speaker i'm glad for what he said about the importance of preserving a democracy in hong kong and he will observe the strength of the the g 7 statement on that matter but quite frankly when it comes to the bill that he is assisting in bringing forward tomorrow with the procedure that is coming for tonight mr speaker let us be in no doubt this is a big not for the opposite i mean seen as a band i believe i have my. very today and every single piece
6:02 pm
e.u. legislation he voted against maastricht teabag of the games was a good time and time and time again he has said that we must uphold the results of the e.u. referendum time and time again he said that he is on the side of democracy and been dictating the will of the people who want to what do we see in me. just to get his beady eye he could he has been converted with his who are so out of the momentum activities trying to take over the streets converted into the i age and those who would so the but to not pursue my time was a car that what he wants or did he wants to entrust the decision about how long this country remains in the european union to our friends and partners in brussels i'm not to this house that is not that is not democracy mr speaker i'm afraid that the my daughter will join the opposite i inadvertently own your house has become
6:03 pm
the agent of further delay further confusion i found the round suddenly but business in this country i deplore that is what he is prescribing that is what he stands for that is the result of his policy and i urge everybody on all sides of the house to support his approach that is going forward not back for the honorable member of the. way mr kenny fog of spica like a prime minister extraordinary knockabout almost day betty confirms it seems to me his new strategy which is to set conditions which make no deal inevitable but to make sure that as much blame as possible is a catch to the e.u. and to this house for that conference and then as quickly as he can like a flag waving general election before the consequences of no deal will become too
6:04 pm
obvious to the public was my right all right i would let me know whether that clear explanation of his policy is on meet child extension was he also thinks that if he gets his way and yet no deal we then have to begin using negotiation you said. we are going to spend the rest of the with only about getting new trade security other arrangements you fools and there's a debate that will be carrying on for some time i suspect in the house of commons and westminster and while it does we will talk to lawrence lee our correspondent who is outside laurence the most important news perhaps is something that hasn't come out of any of the speeches we've heard so far and that is and you can tell us about this the conservative m.p. philip lee who has crossed the floor and sitting now with the liberal democrats what does that mean for boris johnson and the conservative government.
6:05 pm
yes i mean physically was it was one of a number of long standing opponents of of no deal and frankly a bracks in general if you seem a conservative party conference last last year and here at that point there was talk of him potentially as effecting but across the floor on the 1st day back at parliament while the prime minister's speaking to john the liberal democrats is is the most defined you could ever do and of course before he did that boris johnson's government had a majority of one and therefore with philip least affection for the liberal democrats it means that he doesn't have a majority anymore so all and so in that sense it was it was really very significance i think boris johnson tried very much to ignore its didn't let it really take the winds out of his sails in terms of the statesman like approach he was trying to portray from the meeting of the g 7 over the amazon rain forest an education of girls around the world that sort of thing obviously a lot of what he said was aimed at conservative rebels who were this point he's
6:06 pm
still trying to dissuade from voting against the governments and to try to stop no deal. but you know as usual with boris johnson he is really something of a master the sales pitch without necessarily having anything much to back it up. the jeremy colvin the opposition leader was trying to make was you say you're making progress in the alternative deal but you can't actually tell us any of the substance and that's really the one of the big criticisms that people have of boris johnson is that he is. not no it is just a real opportunist and not since not a conviction politician on any particular level i'm going to bring in sunny a panel who's boris johnson's bogard 1st for some more thoughts about about boris the man of this crucial point really so you know not just for the brics the process but for the reputation of government and poland you know you've you've said some if you remember saying so fairly unflattering things about the responses personality
6:07 pm
over this obvious in any sense since he's become prime minister that's he's he's more trustworthy than that than people suggest he was before well i mean i wish i could say that was the case but i don't think save me it was interesting today that we've had very straight some very senior political journalists in the u.k. saying well you know everything that we're told by downing street turns out to be untrue and they're full what can we possibly believe from now on so when boris johnson stood up today in parliament it was interesting what he was trying to date he was projecting his voice he was using some of the same cadence as winston churchill and of course he wrote a book about winston churchill and i haven't even said i will never surrender it in exactly the same with the church churchill did in 1939 yes i mean you know when he wrote that book he was sort of comparing himself from 8000 times that page to winston churchill but the thing is they are so different churchill was about substance the problem with 1st jones it's been all about style and selling as you
6:08 pm
rightly said just now the problem is that what he's selling either don't exist. because we still have no idea what these alternative arrangements of the backstop and that you know quite frankly very much sounds like they don't exist yet have nothing misleading statement from number 10 and here is in downing street having surrounded him. self to the most old and most of the brits because advisors and ministers as well do you think at some point if you actually can't get any new deal he's prepared to take the u.k. without anything that would lead to some enormous done kirk style to continue churchill dunkirk style retreats if you continue to do that you think knows well i mean listen if anyone can do it then boris johnson can i mean he is an absolute supreme salesman probably the best that you'll find on on the zine and some i don't suppose he even knows himself what he's going to do next because you know for all his charm he still comes up against the exact same realities as to reason made it
6:09 pm
but i'm fortunate although she got some simply i think we are pains are really pretty much exhausted with sympathy and they do think that boris johnson's 2 places they too worry that they can't actually trust anything he says imagine this average prime minister thought of by his counterparts abroad as someone who is both untrustworthy and mendacious i don't think we've ever quite been sailed these waters before and it is a really bad thing for our country there is one way back from this is if that boris johnson uses those salesman cows even though he's now in a minority government of course to chart a different way through the mess not just to listen to the extremists the ideologues in his party but actually find a genuine compromise whether that is in the end to back the dail or indeed i think probably more likely to go for a 2nd referendum do you think he believes in brooks's well as someone who used to
6:10 pm
work with him in brussels i was his deputy all those years ago when he was writing all those famous you know. diatribes and yet you know in quiet moments where we were just having coffee or something in the kitchen he would took quite affectionate lee about the e.u. it's in his d.n.a. after all his father worked for the commission his father was an m.e.p. he went to school in brussels so i've. doubted that he is actually a real brick to day i remember he wrote 2 columns before he decided which way to come down one in favor remain one in favor of leave and i suspect if he has any kind of beliefs until they're probably rather more prairie then you might suspect sonia thank you very much indeed for all that comeau lawrence one more question for you just as we were watching as well the goings on in the house of commons as well where is this actually all taking us today as far as debates as far as bills as far as votes can you give us a quick timeline. yes the opposition and the
6:11 pm
conservative rebels are trying to win votes tonight which would allow them to see the parliamentary timetable and take it away from boris johnson's government if they win that vote so nights which at the moment it looks like they will particularly with philip leigh now now having crossed the floor of the liberal democrats it will allow them to set an agenda some more oh in a single day almost a choice is to pass a piece of legislation which would block boris johnson's governments from being able to push through a bricks it one way or the other without a deal on the on the on the 31st of october and they will try to keep hold of that timetable right through until next monday it would also potentially have the effects of blocking boris johnson from trying to call an election in the middle of this process so in all of this they're basically trying to for want of a better expression cut boris johnson's political legs off and try to seize the
6:12 pm
entire parliamentary initiatives from him and it looks at the moment as if they have the numbers at least tonight to do that lawrence lee our correspondent following developments outside the houses of parliament in westminster thank you inside the debate goes on it is heated in a loud boris johnson the prime minister is speaking. right now the speaker of the house john burka trying to keep some sort of order in there as well as he likes to say we will keep an eye on this one and as lawrence says further on into the evening see where that vote eventuates and where it takes us in the break that debate from there. plenty of other news to get to as well a group of u.n. experts has released a report saying all parties in the gehman conflict may be involved in war crimes the report accuses the saudi u.a.e. coalition of killing civilians in airstrikes and deliberately denying them aid
6:13 pm
while on the brink of famine investigators have given a list of suspects to the u.n. human rights chief more from laura birdman. the evidence. indiscriminate killings child rape and using starvation as a weapon of war these are the findings of a group of united nations experts who investigated the war you haven't. the parties to the conflict in yemen are responsible for an array of human rights violations and violations of international humanitarian law some of these violations are likely to amount to war crimes. it's the 2nd report by a group of eminent experts who say the u.s. britain and france may be complicit in war crimes by arming and providing intelligence to the saudi u.a.e. coalition especially so in yemen says wesson bombs a consistently being used by the coalition the problem with this how do the
6:14 pm
americans and all those who match them like the united states they ignore the dimension of the warsaw short of talking to iran short of probably mitigating the tension between the iranians and the americans there inas and the saudis i think those happening in yemen is only a proxy for probably a bigger game and why the game but the experts say there are no clean hands when it comes to the involvement of all the warring parties that includes the rebels the yemeni government forces supported by saudi arabia and the united arab emirates they have targeted hospitals ports water facilities markets farms and of restricted the delivery of humanitarian aid. the u.n. experts also accuse iran of backing the violence committed by the junta's one of the most devastating airstrikes targeted a wedding party in 2015 killing at least 130 people.
6:15 pm
and in august last year at least 40 children were killed when a saudi u.a.e. coalition air strike hit the pass in saada. the experts are also concerned the war has taken another complex turn as the saudi backed government and the u.a.e. back separatists in the south of vying for control of yemen 2nd city aid and parties to the conflict. seem incapable of even agreeing amongst some. as to the way. the un describes the war as the world's worst humanitarian crisis and is calling on all parties the conflict including western countries to be held accountable lower about a man the al-jazeera. just a little more background for you the conflict in yemen now into its 5th year and it's of course led to thousands of deaths in fact human rights watch says at least $6870.00 civilians have been killed up to november last year and a strike on
6:16 pm
a wedding party in september of 2015 that is believed to been the worst attack by the coalition more than 130 people killed there and in december 27th a more than 60 civilians were killed in 2 strikes on the same day the 1st hit a crowded market in ties province $54.00 civilians including 8 children killed there the 2nd killed a family of 14 in the red sea port of her data and in august last year a school bus was bombed and at least 40 children died there you saw her son barry in our report just a little bit earlier he's still with us to talk a little bit more professor at the university of jordan with us here in doha i mean this is what the u.n. is saying today is sort of confirmation i guess of what people have been saying for so long that this is been going on and that it's not just the saudi and coalition who are responsible here it is those countries that support that coalition absolutely this is the point i mean also the indirectly the report looks about the kind of a double standards on the part of the western great powers like the united states
6:17 pm
united kingdom and france you know how on earth they continue supporting the united arab emirates and saudi arabia with all these were in knowing that those weapon would kill civilians and secondly in the case of the united arab emirates they go to the secessionist group bush actually had been killing the pro-government forces as we have never witnessed over the last few days so the report is not saying if we know by the way we know it but you know the importance lies in the fact that it it vindicate to our previous knowledge and it comes from a united nations body can it lead to anything i just i mean yeah no i just want to the fact the u.n. reports are nothing new condemnations and. exactly and while we have to take into account that deal and its own is not a player it's not an independent clear of the wishes and desires of the members and here when we talk about the members the most dominant members actually the united
6:18 pm
states britain france can join them in the union this is the difference of so they have a majority to block anything so they believe that they dominate the this organization and this organization is to place and they can't really come up with anything independent of their own policies which to anyone who is not perhaps up to speed with this war in yemen or who looks at the war and just sees it's been going on a long time and a lot of people have died how would you describe where we are right now we are in denial by the way right now only because we know that there is no military solution for this conflict is going to continue on and on. for a long time no one's. really tackled diminish and diminishes the saudi raney and rivalry the american iranian tension so you have to mitigate that and you have to engage the overuse where what is happening these days is that the donald trump administration is trying to actually beseech and isolate iran and this is not
6:19 pm
actually. it doesn't benefit what is happening in yemen because iran which continues in the whole thing as a proxy because this is the only way for them to make it as a quagmire for the saudi arabia and make it even embarrassing for the american americans by continuing its support to the saudis so short of talking to the iranians and probably coming up with a political settlement i think we're going to witness. this a movie we've seen this before and the people of yemen i mentioned before the number who have died and it's a shocking shocking death toll but the suffering of those still alive it's a whole other issue in itself and it doesn't get any better doesn't it with 2 things here you know in the report the 1st one is that the starvation and it was a tactic used by the sump. forces and secondly the soldiers were preventing and the whole thing were preventing those people who were affected by cholera in the front from medications so it is actually a humanitarian crisis is something that was made by and has been made by all
6:20 pm
fighting parties in the amount. of pleasure talking to you again thank you for joining. us now the iranian oil tanker seized off gibraltar before being released appears to have turned off its tracking beacon the adrian darya one formerly known as the grace one switched off its tracker on monday tracking websites of previously showing the vessel off the coast of lebanon and heading towards sorry heading northward such as the u.s. secretary. of intelligence the ship is heading to the syrian port of tartus still such a barrier with the latest now from teheran. the area one formally known as the grace one super sized oil tanker that is carrying $2100000.00 barrels of rainy and crude oil worth over $130000000.00 was last spotted near tripoli in northern lebanon now since this muscle was released by the authorities in it has been known to go to
6:21 pm
near greece turkey lebanon but has not been located since monday evening the iranian officials have not disclosed where the ship is heading but they have reiterated that syria is not its destination the ship was seized by the authorities on july the 4th and it was released on august 15th the iranians say that the british government seized this vessel at the request of u.s. officials they say that this is an example of how the u.s. government is trying to pressure officials in iran to get them back to the negotiating table to renegotiate the 2015 nuclear agreement the united states withdrew from that the last year and we imposed a series of sanctions on iran's oil and banking sector the iranian president hassan rouhani you are way to the position here that iran will not have any kind of dialogue with american officials until these sanctions have been lifted and this vessel is the sanctions that have now been imposed on this vessel as of august 30th by the united states treasury department are being seen here as another effort to
6:22 pm
put more pressure on the iranian government. dorian that has weakened to a category 2 storm but already left a trail of the devastation in the bahamas at least 5 people are known to have died and thousands of homes have been destroyed the bahamas government says the island's health infrastructure has been badly damaged particularly by flood story and now expected to make its way to the southeast coast of the united states joining us to talk about that now he is in indian river city in florida and he has the situation there. well the national hurricane center just came out with the latest forecast as he said hurricane dorian now downgraded to a category 2 storm it is just creeping away from the bahamas at the moment very very slowly indeed and a hurricane watch here in indian river city it's about 170 kilometers off the coast here but really the focus now is on the bahamas where this storm has really brought
6:23 pm
a lot of damage affected a lot of people's lives are beginning to get some information out of there but this storm itself hovered over the bahamas for about 36 hours an unusual thing for our again this powerful to do in the pictures with beginning to see are simply heartbreaking. what about what else you've seen prior to where you are i think you were reporting previously from ports and lucy want to take us through what you've seen of the damage caused there. well not much damage here at the moment i mean i think florida if the forecasts are right will dodge a huge bullet but nonetheless there's an abundance of caution here people i think are beginning to emerge actually from their homes as well as we are here petrol stations are beginning to open up but let's just take a look at the overall picture particularly coming out of the bahamas. complete devastation that is cars mind hurricane dorian hit the northwestern part
6:24 pm
of the bahamas as one of the most powerful storms ever recorded in the atlantic wind gusts reach 350 kilometers per hour roos ripped off and storm surges flooded streets and homes but this is the direct canal that's right behind us and you can see the waves are just raging as it were at sea before the storm hit many residents decided to ignore warnings according to the red cross more than 13000 homes have since been destroyed communications are down on some of the islands even as dorian lingers as a still deadly storm. in the midst of historic tragedy imbalance of the northern bahamas. on mission and focus now on this search and rescue and recovery. ions for the press for those in effect today areas and for our 1st responders it's expected dorian will remain over the bahamas until at least tuesday morning before heading towards the u.s.
6:25 pm
is east coast. in florida mandatory evacuation orders are in place as much of the state remains under threat forecasters say the eye of dorian should run power well to the florida coast but authorities here are taking no chances but we are in a situation where the storm is stalling very close to our coast it is going to make a movement and the movement that it makes is going to have a lot of impact on floridians and so please listen to the instructions heed the instructions do what you need to do to keep. you and your family safe other states too are preparing for the worst as dorian's path is projected to bring it close to georgia and the carolinas from its formation dorian has been unpredictable it may have slowed slightly but the threat of landfall storm surges and strong winds remains this storm is still moving its massive. changes with this one. continue to move in reverse and we're now dorian is still
6:26 pm
a powerful storm and the u.s. is east coast is bracing itself for a days long event that predicted northern is the best case scenario for the entire eastern seaboard authorities here in florida a warning residents to watch forecasts closely even the slightest deviation could be deadly the main focus for now is on the bahamas any rescue efforts are being hampered by conditions on the ground but it seems that widespread destruction and loss of life is likely if dorian sticks to its predicted path millions may be spared but no one here is taking any chances well come all we're beginning to feel the effects of dorian here on florida's east coast but this will be a days long event that's just how slow this storm is moving and precautions are not just being taken here but also in georgia and the carolinas potentially towards the end of this week maybe into next weekend i think alec are reporting from florida thank you just one more note on hurrican door and dennis mclean who is the
6:27 pm
spokesman for the united nations office for disaster risk reduction. is really tied to a broader trends that cannot be ignored this is the 4th consecutive year to do we have witnessed an extremely devastating atlantic hurricane season including category 5 hurricanes like dorian the sequence cannot be divorced from the fact that these last 5 years have been the hottest ever recorded because of the continuing rise in greenhouse gases in the atmosphere hurricane dorian crystallizes the existential threat posed to small island developing states by the ongoing climates emergency this is an enormous humanitarian and development challenge for the bahamas. ok well i'll take a break the situation in just a moment and then the rest of the day's news another major attack in afghanistan looking at the impact on the peace process there. as she had a choice she quit hong kong lead to carry lamb plays down

6:30 pm
a deadly political agenda we have 2 photos of our nation what has happened to the engine that's one of the biggest stains on the country as a whole. but in our religion this is the politics me and mark an unholy alliance on al-jazeera. the latest seems as it breaks the problem is that in many cases those fires get out of control with detailed coverage the protesters don't seem to be flagging and neither does the police's determination to suppress the movement from around the world most of these vehicles carry syrians fleeing from the south of the border the influx of course a traffic jam in the only the over no that city it's there.
6:31 pm
on the news here at al jazeera and these are all top stories british m.p.'s trying to take control of the parliamentary agenda and an attempt to stop the no deal exit from the european union there will be voting on a motion later that could lead to fast track legislation which would delay a break that possibly until january the u.n. experts are blaming all sides in yemen for a possible war crimes a report to the human rights council says the sunday u.a.e. coalition of targeted civilians that hooty rebels have also committed atrocities. in the iranian oil tanker. or appears to have turned off its tracking beacon. says the ship may not be headed to the syrian port of tartus. ok briggs it i want to take you back to that and actually recap on what we've heard in the last while our
6:32 pm
rules the debate is ongoing in parliament right now and some of the numbers thinning out there possibly most important is that one number from the conservative government philip has moved to the liberal democrat party maining that the conservative government no longer has a majority. in parliament well earlier boris johnson delivered a characteristically passionate speech rallying his supporters ahead of a crucial vote on control of the parliamentary agenda if its opponents win though they would be able to fast track legislation which could delay brags that until january and so he campaigns to reject that. this house has never before voted to force the prime minister to surrender such a crucial decision to the discretion of our friends and neighbors overseas because what this bill would mean is that unless we agree. to the terms of our friends and partners they would be able to keep us in the e.u.
6:33 pm
froze long as they want and on their terms and then came the reports from the opposition leader jeremy corbin who told parliament it's clear that this government wants to leave the e.u. without a deal it's becoming increasingly clear that this reckless government only has one plan to crash out of the e.u. without a deal no deal mr speaker will main food shortages reduced medical supplies and chaos at our ports not me not me saying that the government's own leaked analysis. and it warns of chaos all across the board today we had expected the publication of the government's no deal preparations this government is hiding from scrutiny. it's moved to other news hong kong's leader has dismissed a link to order a recording of her saying she would resign if she had
6:34 pm
a choice carol lam says she never planned to quit a common so recorded during a private lunch last week income after 3 months of anti-government protests this report from wayne hay. or they were told only this seems to be no end in sight to the protests in hong kong and no sign that the government is willing to give in to any of the protesters demanding day 2 of a series of strikes got underway as news emerged of a leaked audio recording in which the city's chief executive is heard telling business leaders that she'd resign if she had a choice or a chance said. this. is. just in the. first thing is true. is 2. hours later in who weekly media conference kerry said it was unacceptable
6:35 pm
that the private conversation had been recorded and she sought to clarify her comments about resigning i have never attended a resignation to the central people's government. i have not even contemplated to discuss a resignation with the central people's government. the choice of not resigning is my own choice though howard the resignation of the chief executive was one of the key demands of the protesters when they began taking to the streets on the 1st of july protesters stormed this building the legislative council the seat of power in hong kong with kerry lamb in charge those fighting for political change here say the chief executives leaked comments prove what they always knew. they say there's no real power residing in the building they broke into and that's why they say their fight is no longer about kerry lamb resigning it's about sending

a message to china that the people of hong kong want democracy we have a public government controlled by the tyrannical chinese communist party and it needs fundamental change to the chinese government again reiterated its support for hong kong's administration but warned it will act if the situation worsens. the central government will never allow the chaos in hong kong to continue indefinitely if the situation in hong kong deteriorates further becomes uncontrollable and the turmoil threatens the sovereignty and security of the country the central government will not sit idly by. the controversy over kerry lands leaked comments is likely to have little impact on the crisis with both sides no closer to finding a resolution wayne hay al-jazeera hong kong. let's hear from emily lau who is a former member of the hong kong legislative council and says kerry should have
6:37 pm
insisted to beijing that it engages with the protesters to her it's very embarrassing i don't know why the journalistic did not ask her point blank why she said at the press conference that she never attended any resignation which may be true but why did she say on the tape that if she had a choice she would resign if she really is on our side on the side of hong kong she could have insisted saying well in order to solve the problem the crisis which she said she would want to do those were the options and if waging said no she should have put her foot down and say now these are the ways instead of sending the police out to fight with the protesters every day and with such brutal force we should try to engage them so she should do it but obviously i don't think she wants to put her foot down and so i certainly saying her days are numbered
