algeria's got lots of business views famously. lots of it. and business deals anyone who's done any kind of negotiation you have to be able to walk away and that's what boris is fighting for the right to keep on the table and that's what the rebels are fighting very clearly paraphrasing them they want to take no deal off the table in any business environment that's the wrong thing to do so i think there's lots of people in this country small business to big business like the negotiating for their future very supportive of this prime minister as johnson's new government must have known the day it took office there was such a way for us in majority which is now lost and an election was absolutely inevitable possibly sooner rather than later you're a strategist number 10 downing street is now in the hands of. a strategist a sort of evil genius dominic cummings wasn't using always the strategy to push for an election that could be framed as a battle between the people and democracy versus parliament and the e.u. by inflaming m.p. sentiments against no deal by making demands of the e.u.

that the e.u. can't possibly keep and then blaming the breakdown on them i know that there are people that think that i actually don't think that i think the determination of this government was to get a resolution on bricks it if that then led to an election in which they could say we delivered fantastic but it was in that order in my mind it was to deliver bricks at 1st and then potentially go to the polls this mass having an election potentially before we've left the which i think even if it helps the tories in the end because of the destruction of the party it spin the bottle gambling and it could go in any direction. just once that in a sense is a minority government spin the bottle is pretty much left out it's just before we go on i mean as i say the chamber is filling up now a result i think must come pretty quickly. do you feel that we are now at a pivotal moment in the game what happens now. next to do you think that is disinfo

this is absolutely pivotal if as we think the government has lost today the big argument tomorrow will be can the rebel alliance having won their single day of debate get through the house of commons a vote that says we'll let the effectively say how long the delay will be we say january but if it's not january then it's literally in the in the legislation however long they say it is there are a couple of things people haven't thought about let's say they win the thing goes to the house of lords everyone here is assuming once the votes done it's done actually they don't necessarily say the house of lords famously can marginally and wants to examine things is a house that does not believe in rubber stamping things the rebel alliance may find their agenda tripped up in the house of lords and even if the lords passes it but with an amendment it then has to come back to the commons for debate on the amendment to the government will have another chance effectively to slow it down or as our americans friend call it potentially filibuster it this ain't over yet if the government wins tonight then it's done but if the government loses tonight i

will loses tomorrow it'll still struggle and fight for the rest of the week and then boris johnson gets to enact his proposed plan to parliament at some point next some point he wins those discussions and that's that's right he would and it's worth reminding viewers not all of them are in the u.k. that protein is something that generally happens every year it's been used like some kind of moderate magic harry potter term it actually is a term for the ending of a parliamentary term in the beginning of the next session and it normally happens every year we have just with the death knell of concluding the longest palm intercessions in 17 o 7 say these are historic times we're going through but probing is not abnormal i think it looks to me as if we're very close to getting a result now. not abnormal the duration of this. news will though and it does smack to well a lot of people like manipulation of the mechanisms of parliament in order to reduce the opportunities that m.p.'s have. to voice or exercise their opposition to

it i understand that but let's ask ourselves this but the maximum calculation they lose 6 days of debating we've had 3 years since the vote what do they think they'd gain in those 6 days they haven't done so far in 3 years. well enough to see what the answer to that may be all sorts of possibilities a general election possibly a 2nd referendum possibly tantalizingly as well another deal a deal on the backstop for sure i actually think that's one of the most likely outcomes because don't forget as we get closer towards brics it actually happening in the timetable that we've got both sides do want to deal a deal of any kind at this point off as market certainty a transition of at least one year almost certainly 2 years would mean that everyone breathes a sigh of relief sterling probably balances the e.u. gets tariff free access to the u.k. market into a cheap wildly exports more goods and we buy from then the u.k. gets to continue tariff free access with the rest of the e.u.

business investment carries on everyone is very happy with a soft landing a transition period but of course but that means we've got to negotiate about what happens next with us in the this is and in the negotiations about how we leave your that's a pretty rosy scenario you paint. give us the context as we wait for this result of what no deal might mean why is everybody so up in arms so many people yet are up in arms about the possibility of no deal the main reason that people are so up in arms about the idea of no deal is that those who lost the referendum 3 years ago and have never accepted the fact that they lost need something to use as a cloak or a shield to say whilst i accept the results of the referendum i'm really concerned about this and then they effectively seek to stymie to vote that my country had the largest vote for anything in the history of the united kingdom was to leave the european union so anyone who pretends to be a democrat can't be publicly if all those people are increasingly now opposing it openly they want to be seen to be respecting the way the people voted after all they're going to also. same voters to vote for them at some point so instead they

fasten on to things like. and the way that our time to be with the european union if we leave without a deal with the e.u. we'd still be trading with them on terms and types which most of the world trade on it would be destruction but it wouldn't be a major disruption it would be less disruptive in this law shouting at us tonight there's nothing wrong is there with trying to push for a better deal than the deal that to reserve my god given the huge opposition to a backstop it didn't make its way through parliament 3 times there's even a suggestion that tomorrow labor m.p.'s may try to amend the legislation to get a 4th meaningful vote on trees amaze. bill i mean that seems extraordinary but in principle there's nothing wrong with driving or pushing hoping and trying to force it for a deal and if that's what i thought the continuity remain campaign was pushing for i would give you different i actually think what they're trying to do is stop me if they were genuinely trying to get the best deal possible when we leave and then potentially which people don't really talk about mounting the case which i wouldn't

agree with to rejoin the european union if that's what they want to do that would be a perfectly respectable thing to do instead they remain campaign which has never put its weapons down since they lost 3 years ago is still trying very volubly tonight but also in the house of commons to win their way despite the fact they lost in the country in 2016 and then we had a snap general election in 2071 but the conservative policy on the labor opposition party said they delivered bricks that something which i. put together they still remain campaign go on. like frankenstein just can't kill it off one of the biggest problems of course as again we wait for the result of this crucial vote a vote that might well see the business of the house upon house of commons turned over to monitor backbench m.p.'s seeking to block a deal breaker one of the biggest problems up to now is that 2017 general election isn't it because it robs a reason made of majorities. we ended up with

a hung parliament that is so much the reason why so little has happened with brakes it up to now wouldn't a new election likely result in another hung parliament it may well result in all the current polling from respectable 3rd party organizations like electoral calculus points towards a significant majority of the party naysayers can say that's exactly what the polls said before 2017 went to reason they lost a majority say we take it with a pinch of poe's do you suggest the tories would do better and that is built largely out of frustration with this process a sense the parliament hasn't got on with it let's be fair to theresa may she had her rebels on the other side on the euro skeptic side who wouldn't go along with her and that's part of the reason he didn't toss her mind to the labor party the liberal democrats who say they're the champions of a good deal wouldn't vote for say there is that presumably now if there are as many as 17 roughly that number conservative party rebels who vote against the government deceiving who do in fact have the whip removed from them so that they can't stand

but presumably the party will be hoping that at the very least their seats will be taken by the conservative party members who are rather more of boris johnson's playbook correct it would be a rock solid test in my view for anyone taking any of those seats fake voluntarily vacated by those voting to take power away from their own government tonight that they must be willing to deliver and we're about to have if things go the way that we're suggesting for this government to have a bricks election there is no point in selecting another rabid remain or to replace the remaining who just rebelled against the government they've all got those 16 seats and i think is going to be 60 they've got to be filled with rock solid bricks it tories and the other thing is horses got to hold firm tonight he can't have it having made the threats having said if you vote against this government not just on an issue of policy but if you vote to take power away from this government and give it to the opposition and they're full on to the e.u. to decide the timetable tries to get rid of all of them. but have said that they

would do that and then done it and what does that do for the integrity of these parties the dignity of the spot to hang on i think we may be hearing sound from the chamber as we speak of we crossing over to the chamber now it's hard to tell a result must surely be imminent i wondered about the answer is yes tools that you can see while you are you and he also has to restore the dignity of the part of the well i talking at serious tory grandees to for much on says former cabinet ministers yes it shows that you're serious about delivering on a governmental agenda and a matter how puffed up or illustrious the person rebelling if we have to take the whip away from churchill's grandson these things on hereditary in the end you are doing apologies business are you not in the party ok alex i think we are about to do a result we've listed jonah and we're looking at least 2 of the 10 is there at the moment we need 4 of them i don't have that right now as we wait to hear what. the result. yards to the right

328 the nose the left 301 was before you got it good stuff maurice before did our eyes to the right 328 the nose to the last 301 so the oh you have it the our eyes have it all know. how to cook a quarter. of course point of order the prime minister says big i think it is i think it was have either codes princes of this great to die to beings that parliament is on the brink of wrecking any deal that we might get was a hand of the negotiations to the e.u. and that would mean move. more delay and will continue to be

the self would be able to decide how long to keep this country in the e.u. and since i would use to go along with that plan we are going to have to make a choice mr speaker i don't want to lecture in the public i was actually i don't believe there was one action but if the house votes for this bill tomorrow the public will have to choose who goes to brussels along with the 17 to suicide and take this country forward everybody knows that if the right over here is the prime minister he will go to brussels i'm sure an extension he wanted. was to go on and we will have. arguments about branches and microprocessors it's a big everyone knows that if this government is in charge and we get it right going to brussels i will go for a deal and i believed. i want to thank god even if

you don't i will leave anyway i don't tell you about the fancy cars the people of this country will have to tears with to speak of the leader of the opposition has been begging for an election but to hear the crowd of supporters was sorry calling for action i don't want the election and peace vote tomorrow to stop the negotiations and to compel i'm not the point i was killing 2 brits potentially for years that would be the only way to resolve this i can confirm that we also like tabling a motion under the fixed palm and it was thank you over time oh this is think you are on a point of order i welcome tonight's vote we live in a parliamentary democracy thank you do not have a presidency but

a prime minister. prime ministers govern with the consent of the house of commons representing the people in who the sovereignty rest. of there is no consensus was there is no consent in this house to leave the european union without a deal was that no majority for no deal in the conference was on said before is a prime minister's a confidence in his bracks it follows a when he has won he can put forward he should put it before the people in a public was they want to tell you about a motion for a general election fine yes the bill through was thank god it was no other to tell you no detail was off the table.

was. was. was very rude the members are. the older i think you were chosen of the duchy so when he turns over children in school as a parent he's a very well behaved fellow you wouldn't dare behave like that in front of college all the night do it i dare you to stick you a job and spare a student yet trix ok you also. go out. i was surprised. to. hear those we know ok if you're wondering what all this shouting is about there in the house of commons in westminster in the heart of london m.p.'s have just voted on basically taking control of business in parliament i think the voting is done it's

not there's going to be another vote on when cell explain why in a minute or less the result of that key vote and show you what has happened so the opposition and conservatives rebelling against the government run by boris johnson got 328 votes the government cost 301 votes the government losing that by a significant 27 votes ok let's take you live to westminster our correspondent in hollis monitoring what has been happening there in the house of commons joe you know we were expecting the government to lose but perhaps by not as much as 27 votes. yes it's a pretty comfortable victory for what's become known as the rebel alliance conservative party and these voting against their own government perhaps in larger numbers than some folks thought and joining a cross party alliance of in these who brought this motion along with a piece of legislation that will be voted on tomorrow. wrote seeking to block

a no deal breaks it on october 31st a majority of 27 for that cross party alliance boris johnson speaking afterwards saying that parliament is on the brink of wrecking any deal that might be possible with the european union making the point that he does not want an election to sort this out the people do not want an election to sort these out but seeing no option but to have an election to sort things out before the european union council summit on october 17th at which 80 stuart any last minute deal might be concluded the people he said must decide if it's going to be me going to that summit i will go for a deal and i will get a deal that people must choose boris johnson says that he has formally laid a motion on the order paper for tomorrow seeking a dissolution of parliament under the fixed term parliament act that will require

a 2 thirds majority vote if there is to be a snap election and jeremy corbin responding the opposition leader saying there simply is no majority in the house or in the country for no deal this vote confirms that he said if the prime minister is so sure and confident in his bronx it strategy then he should put that strategy to the people in a people's vote let me bring in my guest now alex dean is a political strategist has done lots of work for the conservative party including with former prime minister david cameron talk us through alex what happens now how significant a defeat for boris johnson is this what is going to happen next it's a bad result for the government not only because they hand say the control of the house tomorrow to not just the opposition but this wider group of so-called rebel alliance members of parliament but also because it's significantly large enough it implies they would lose it debates in that argument that they would lose any votes on a bill that then went on to hand the time to. the negotiations to the save the in the

conservative ranks has been that there are enough members of parliament who would vote today to strip us of power but vote not to give it to the but they might even if they lost today tomorrow with a loss this big i think they'll have to rethink that quite a lot bigger than expected what you put that down to is that enough or rather more conservative m.p.'s than the government feared who haven't taken heed of its threat to remove the whip if they voted against the government a move that potentially would signal the end of political careers and yet people have gone ahead and done it well i think they will have full safety in numbers so they've realised that 15 of them and many of those people as unite been discussing a very prestigious and high profile of the tory party they might think themselves they're not going to suspend the former chancellor they're not going to suspend. the party to which i think will say wait and see i think they will but moreover i think they will think to themselves this is an issue of principle as they see it

that they need to take their stand on the 3rd consideration might be well by the time we go to the election will be our leader any more i'm convinced that he would be but they might be thinking to themselves he loses the debate in the fixed term parliament tax we don't get a snap election going to run for some time thereafter this was boris's big chance and they might be thinking to themselves this will be the shortest prime ministership in history now i. want to see them wrong and i hope he does prove them to be wrong but that is kind of the mustering that i hear among some of the rebels tonight on a sort of granular level in terms of what to expect over the coming days let's talk 1st about the legislation and i'll ask you afterwards about the possibility of an election what happens over the next few days leading into next week but this is just a sense been very carefully drafted to try and make it sort of foolproof to make its passage as sure as possible but looming ahead of course is johnson's threat to bottom in next week well those who have now seized control of parliament tomorrow need to. what they're going to do with it the 1st question they'll have to decide

is the prime minister's motion to have an election do we want that motion or not it's for them to decide just tomorrow not for the rest of time but just tomorrow they may decide we think we can defeat that we think that we can defeat it and that he would be denied an election therefore it's a good thing to have that tomorrow labor for instance have said they won't support an election motion until this legislation passed correct they might on the other hand decide we think we can get it all done in one day we can have the bill put down to hand over control over the timetable effectively to the european union and to have the house dictate that the prime minister has to have an extension requested and then they might say let's pass this bill for a general election let's pass a bill for a general election once we've got the issue put through about an extension to the timetable because if we're not leaving the until january might be better to have an election after rule all of the opposition parties say they want an election they just want to be sure they've seen off the prospect of

a new deal bricks at 1st if they can do all that in a day they may sit on that motion from the prime minister and wait and see we may see tactically this might not have been the best move to make to put down a motion for an election because he's left it up to the opposition parties now not just on the timetable of the negotiation with the e.u. not just on the agenda for tomorrow but potentially he's put the timetable of an election in their hands as well alex we're going to leave it there thanks so much for all your insights. and felicity back to you. and your questions making us care as he possibly can. well have course been widespread protests for and against breck's it across the u.k. and in westminster well they've continued into the nice size you could head just then during those interviews earlier hundreds of protesters marched to the gates of parliament chanting and waving signs as lawmakers faced that fierce debate inside their also prober exit demonstrations taking place nearby activists on both sides

of the leaves on a main divide have been protesting in central london for months. and there's plenty more still ahead on this news hour south africa's president condemns days of xenophobia looting as unacceptable. and in sport england change their winning lineup ahead of before his test against australia i'll be here with that story. now hurrican dorian is inching away from the bahamas off to slamming into the island nation as a category 5 storm officials say they are in the midst of a historic tragedy as reports of more deaths and widespread damage emerge well the storm is now edging towards the southeast coast of the united states and i think alec i sent this report from florida. as hurricane dorian edges away from the

bahamas a clearer picture of its devastating power is a merging grand bahama and abaco island were hit hardest with storm surges and powerful winds this is now a humanitarian crisis hampered by the storm slow path through the region continued heavy rains and high winds when the true extent of the damage may not be known for days but early reports suggest the rescue and recovery operation will be huge we also understand that about 62000 people across the 2 islands will need access to clean drinking water it's not an unfamiliar thing to say i'm in a disaster. but when there's no water after a disaster that can have serious secondary impacts so that will be a priority not just for the records but for the government and for the u.n. system the red cross says at least 13000 homes have either been severely damaged or destroyed rebuilding will be a long process and saving those stranded by one of the most powerful storms recorded is

a priority no matter what the form of that may. be. a lot of fun for. disliking doria now threatens the u.s. east coast where preparations evacuation orders and warnings have been in place for days the storms predicted path shows no landfall in florida but a cape canaveral nasa is moot sensitive equipment as the storm edges closer georgia and the carolinas remain on high alert and many residents have heeded warnings to prepare for the worst hoping that by being so early with our program for a chanst they will all be invade it we will not have needed to do much of florida's east coast remains under a hurricane watch in there is still a danger of high gusts of wind and storm swells coming in from the atlantic ocean but if the track stays as it is predicted the storm should be about 170 kilometers off the east coast even as it makes its way up to georgia and the carolinas that is

potentially good news for millions of people but everyone is being warned not to get complacent. in the next few hours and days much needed resources will pour into the bahamas even for a nation used to dealing with powerful hurricanes this is an unprecedented situation i think go across 0 indian river city florida. all right well let's now take a look at the path that hurrican dorrian has taken it travel west from the u.s. virgin islands last wednesday and hit the bahamas on sunday where it traveled slowly north into monday the worst hours of the storm where between 60 mt sunday and 6 g.m.t. on monday it was upgraded to a category 5 the highest category a storm can be before hitting abaco island it's on tuesday dorian sat over the north of the bahamas for some time still a powerful force residents were warned not to the shelters until the eye of the storm passed it's now traveling north parallel to the florida coastline gradually

weakening but growing in size that it could bring strong storm surges and hearkened force winds as far north as georgia and the carolinas well sarah kirby is a public relations executive and a residence in the bahamas and she joins me now on the phone line from freeport she believes that she's actually lost her home in the storms there i believe that's right you're not exactly sure what's happened to your home right now you know i don't know a lot of mine only. 530 yesterday. started flooding it came in like i've never seen water come in before we had pretty much 15 minutes to get out a terrifying time where you want to get out before it approached. no we've never had flooding in the area that we were in we're in a safe so we were ok what happened was the tidal surge that they expected that might come on the south side came on the north side because it sat on us for so long and the 67 foot surge that took out

a place where i live near arden forest which never has any problems like this so it's flooded multiple homes and we all basically had to just get out it was terrifying and then we for our family we got in the back of a car and we pushed the car out start but we physically pushed it then we went through the dogs and went back and got dogs and we made it out in force and we let the cat the house is still underwater now on day 2 and. they're still there where we got our lives and we can't get near the house right now but we're good where are you taking shelter sarah luckily we have friends who have put in an apartment that was in a vailable on the beach and it's actually on the south side of the island so it's fine friends have already offered homes people are being amazing in the disaster relief fund starting up all over and we can't say the public enough for helping us we need a lot of it and please keep it coming and we just thank you for spreading the word

and. the devastating it's a big snake and i can't i don't think it's lost my house yet but i'm getting there you know i'm sure you must be an op from the shock and the reality is that there are parts i guess the book the bahamas. people all talking what has happened and whether the all the people may have lost their lives i mean because of the cleanup and the rescue operations continuing. sadly we know there's been some lives lost today across the bridge. the part that connects arlington grand bahama they could not get to them because of the severe weather storms so people. have been so amazing we had a whatsapp group that had 260 people and coordinating efforts and what we did was we connected with each other they got to the bridge and they were able to get over about 12 o'clock today and they started resting people who are trapped in their attic. unfortunately we have a good friend who lost his wife. saying we just don't have this and.

we're all just trying to cope but there everyone is being amazing and helping each other the storm is finally starting to settle down now but it's still we think like a category 3 we don't even know we get little bits of news and so we're just trying to hold on now it's just a point of going in finding what you can and putting your life back together you know i'm really sorry to hear what happened to your friend's wife last obsolete think when do you think you know i talked to be able to return home and see whether you can actually solve a genny thing. i went to day i still under water about 6 feet under water. gone you know what we got out with our lives and we can rebuild and my mother has the color of my house anyhow so it's a good time to change it being remarkably upbeat sarky joining us from freeport in the bahamas stay safe and thanks for taking the time to talk to us.

americans and all those who matter them like the united states the ignore the dimension of the warsaw short of talking to run short of probably mitigating the tension between the iranians and the americans the arena's and the saudis i think those happening in 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 houthi 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.
