a no deal that's despite boris johnson's promise to take the u.k. out of the e.u. by the 31st of october that even if it means crashing out without some agreements. britain's democracy is at war. with itself. as protesters marched on westminster politicians returned from the summer recess poised to push new legislation through parliament to block johnson. a number of m.p.'s including prominent politicians in johnson's own conservative party have rebelled against the government and united with opposition m.p. least of force johnson to delay breaks it the default legal position is the u.k. will leave the e.u. on the 31st of october m.p.'s want to delay briggs's until the end of january to
1:03 am
prevent leaving the e.u. without a deal. the ice of the right 328 the nose the left 301 interesting evening m.p.'s voted to take control of parliamentary business not a good start forus allowing them to begin debating the creation of new legislation on wednesday if m.p.'s do pass a bill to prevent a no deal johnson says he'll have no choice but to push to hold a general election possibly tobar the 15 pieces vote tomorrow to stop the negotiations and to compel i'm not the point i was delayed to brit's potentially for years and that would be the only way to resolve this i can confirm that we are tonight tabling a motion under the fixed parliament. there is no consent in this house to leave the european union without
1:04 am
a deal. no majority for no deal in the country. the defection of warm conservative m.p. to the opposition liberal democrats means johnson no longer has a majority in parliament by voting against the government of the conservative party rebels have effectively ended their political careers the bill will need to go before the upper house the house of lords on its journey into law but there are no guarantees it will work and after parts johnson's decision to shut down parliament for a month possibly from next monday m.p.'s don't have much time until the government says it wants a deal with the e.u. and the progress is being made johnson supporters say no deal is an important negotiating position with your rights it has distorted british politics uniting old opponents dividing old alliances the country is careering towards a new brakes a climax with a question that's confounded the country and the continent is whether we're

approaching a breakthrough for knowledge or simply another cliffhanger. can't call a general election a lot. own needs the backing of most m.p.'s to trigger a snap poll opposition parties are now weighing up the risks of a sudden vote. the battle lines are drawn the government and parliament are fighting for the right to determine britain's breaks of future eve parker al-jazeera london let's take you to westminster speaks out as there is correspondent jonah halter in an extraordinary couple of hours break it down for us what is going to happen in the days ahead. well certainly this represents a humiliating defeat for the fledgling government of course johnson you heard that voice go up on the other side of the house there not a good start chorus as the result was announced it was a much bigger margin of victory for the so-called rebel alliance than anyone expected among those numbers that majority of 27 we are hearing from conservative
1:06 am
party sources 21 conservative party m.p.'s rebelled against their own government defying the threat of having the whip removed from them that won't be able to stand in the next general election but they've gone ahead on a point of conviction anyway. what that number essentially means is that when the passage of this legislation put together by these crossed party lines begins on wednesday it has a much better chance of success that it might otherwise have done with a smaller margin because $21.00 conservative party and m.p.'s are not going to change their minds even if the 6 labor let's say m.p.'s possibly do who voted against the government tonight $21.00 conservative party m.p.'s won't and that is a large large margin for the government to overcome with the help of the other opposition in these so that legislation has to make its way now through the various stages of parliament it could move very quickly through the commons because of that majority it could be held up in the house of lords by the conservative peers

seeking to scrutinise seeking to filibuster the process but there are elements in that legislation designed to provide enough time hopefully for it to make its way through before before the planned for a great prorogue ation of parliament sometime next week. jonah we know that the prime minister has said i want to hold this not general election but what is the likelihood of that being held and what could stop it. an election surely now must be almost inevitable boris johnson who made this vote framed this vote as a confidence issue in his government of a to insist government therefore the equivalent of a vote of no confidence he lost his majority earlier in the day when m.p. philip lee crossed the house and sat down with the liberal democrats and of course boris johnson said himself i will never there are no circumstances in which i will ask the e.u. for extension but the only way he can avoid that if this legislation goes through and the only way he can continue he now heads
1:08 am
a minority government is with an election he has put on the order paper for the business of parliament tomorrow a motion seeking a dissolution under the fixed or bottom exact paving the way to a bland election well the problem is well on the one hand the order of business is in the hands of backbench m.p.'s they may not allow the motion to pass to a vote tomorrow anyway but if they do the problem is it requires a 2 thirds majority the labor party has said indicated it will only support a vote for an election once this legislation has completed its passage through parliament and games are all essential the possibility is for the city that tomorrow wednesday the government could face further defeat both votes on the various stages of the legislation and a vote on its own call for a snap general election a fascinating couple of days ahead john hall of westminster thank you very much.

i reckon that dorian is an emotional way from the bahamas after slamming into the island nation as a category 5 storm officials say they're in the midst of a historic tragedy as a pause of more deaths and widespread damage and the storm is now edging towards the southeast coast of the united states and again i got reports from florida. as hurricane dorian edges away from the bahamas a clearer picture of its devastating power is emerging 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 i mean 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 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 red cross but for the government and for the u.n. system the red cross says at least $13000.00 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 the may. be. a lot of support. this hurricane dorian 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 profer rationed they

will all be invaded and we will not have needed to do it much just 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. 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 to go across 0 indian river city florida sara cappy is a public relations executive president of free force in the bahamas she lost her home in the storm and she told us there are there that the community is bonding together. trying to cope right there and everyone is being amazing and helping each

1:13 am
bright i think so 25 in sydney opposing 17 in the adelaide is not much different across in perth nor will it change very much the fronts tend to stay over the water those clouds over the tropics which is come to nothing but apart from the cations thunderstorm that's to be expected this time of the year so it's tasmania and then the cross to new zealand where you might expect the weather to form into something respectable and he certainly does that big circulation there suggest that the whole of the north island will be wet windy not particularly cold at 17 or can but this is wednesday's picture and increasingly slipping downstream going to cover the whole of the science on it so the picture certainly the northern half of 2 thirds of the zealand is a wet and windy one but not especially cold that the rain's not going to be a bit of any problem i think in new zealand where it has been recently in japan and south korea so this is not a particularly pretty sight and for wednesday the rain returns for south korea indeed even north korea less so immediately for japan.
